:01:51. > :01:54.a cyclist in east London last year. TfL say they are working with the
:01:55. > :01:59.police to find out what happened. Transport correspondent Tom Edwards
:01:59. > :02:04.has more. He was the Cycling Tory mayor, but
:02:04. > :02:08.if you thought he was going to get an easy ride today, he was wrong.
:02:08. > :02:13.What is the mayor going to do to stand up for cyclists, to make sure

:02:17. > :02:20.Boris Johnson has overseen an increase in cycling, but they are
:02:21. > :02:24.now demanding safer streets and for dangerous junctions to be
:02:25. > :02:30.redesigned. We want to move away from the idea that cyclists are
:02:30. > :02:37.somehow morally superior. There are plenty of people who need to use a
:02:37. > :02:40.car. We need to educate them about cycling in London. If a cyclist
:02:40. > :02:45.cycles irresponsibly, he or she does not kill people. If somebody
:02:46. > :02:49.drives a lorry or car irresponsibly, they kill people. We will look at
:02:49. > :02:54.the junctions, we will put in completely physically separated
:02:54. > :03:01.routes where possible, and where it is not possible, I will use
:03:01. > :03:03.creative ideas to make cycling more safe. This is Pearl Roundabout. The
:03:03. > :03:09.mayor's cycling superhighway encourages riders through this busy
:03:09. > :03:12.junction. Two cyclists have died here. It has also emerged that TfL
:03:12. > :03:17.ignored a safety report that said the roundabout needed pedestrian
:03:18. > :03:22.crossings to slow traffic. The Labour and Green candidates want to
:03:22. > :03:28.know if the mayor's office overruled engineers, something that

:03:34. > :03:41.investigate the mayor's office for corporate manslaughter. The Tory
:03:41. > :03:44.candidate does not accept that this policy has actually made any
:03:44. > :03:48.difference to cycling safety, whereas most people in this room
:03:48. > :03:53.would say it has made a difference, it has made it worse. Jokes about

:04:13. > :04:17.roundabout. We have been promised a lot of things, we have met
:04:17. > :04:21.ministers, we have met the mayor, and not a lot has happened. All of
:04:21. > :04:25.the candidates have now signed up to redesign dangerous junctions.
:04:25. > :04:28.But there are questions about funding and some scepticism.
:04:28. > :04:33.sense was that nobody was really committing money. Everyone was
:04:33. > :04:38.talking about money, but they were talking around it. It really heated
:04:38. > :04:41.up at the end and cycling could swing it at this election. The
:04:41. > :04:46.decider is not finalised yet. Cyclists believe they can get
:04:46. > :04:52.improvements from this election. Meanwhile, TfL says it is working
:04:52. > :04:57.with the Met in its investigation on the roundabout.
:04:57. > :05:01.The latest poll puts Boris Johnson narrowly ahead of his closest rival,
:05:01. > :05:06.Ken Livingstone, and we will hear from the Labour candidate shortly.
:05:06. > :05:11.First, Tim Donovan, what is the poll indicating? Well, this is the
:05:11. > :05:15.latest poll by YouGov, who have been tracking the mayoral race for
:05:15. > :05:21.months, and this is what it shows. It suggests that when first
:05:21. > :05:27.preferences are cast, Boris Johnson is three points ahead, 44-41. When
:05:27. > :05:31.second preferences are included, it suggests that goes to 52-48. When
:05:31. > :05:35.you very down into the raw data of this survey, it is very interesting,
:05:35. > :05:39.because it shows they are not many votes in it. Some people are saying
:05:39. > :05:43.it is neck-and-neck. They adjust the figures to have definitely
:05:43. > :05:46.supporters are going to back their candidate, and they find that seven
:05:46. > :05:51.out of 10 of Boris Johnson supporters will definitely vote for
:05:51. > :05:58.him. It is a little under six out of 10 of Labour supporters who will
:05:58. > :06:03.vote for Ken Livingstone. It is on this narrow margin that the outcome
:06:03. > :06:09.of this vote could turn, and it is all about mobilising core support.
:06:09. > :06:13.What is this about an outburst on the campaign trail today? Well,
:06:13. > :06:18.Boris Johnson was asked today about a story I was reporting on
:06:18. > :06:21.yesterday, about his efforts to secured sponsorship for News
:06:21. > :06:27.International when the Metropolitan Police were probing allegations of
:06:27. > :06:31.phone-hacking. This is what he said false well, you know, I do not know
:06:31. > :06:37.about discussions going on about that. What I can tell you is that I
:06:37. > :06:40.think it is right to work with the private sector, to get
:06:40. > :06:43.contributions that will be for the benefit of London. I am very proud
:06:43. > :06:47.that over the last four years we have got more than �100 million in
:06:47. > :06:51.sponsorship but I have raised for this city, 50 million for the bikes,
:06:51. > :07:01.you have got to get this on their come on, this is the most important
:07:01. > :07:01.
:07:01. > :07:08.thing! Staff Donovan, BLEEP! interesting response from a
:07:08. > :07:12.politician. Yes, I think people will find this unusual on a
:07:12. > :07:16.campaign trail. It is not the first time he has used colourful language,
:07:16. > :07:20.of course. There was this row in a lift with Ken Livingstone a few
:07:20. > :07:27.weeks ago, but I think it does show how sensitively he regards this
:07:27. > :07:30.issue. Thank you, Tim Donovan. Well, in this final week of campaigning,
:07:30. > :07:34.we will be hearing from the candidates. Tomorrow we will be
:07:34. > :07:39.joined live By Boris Johnson, tonight it is the turn of Ken
:07:39. > :07:43.Livingstone. Here we are, that poll suggesting you are behind your Tory
:07:43. > :07:46.rival. Given that the Labour Party nationally is pulling way ahead of
:07:46. > :07:51.the Conservatives in London, isn't there something wrong with that
:07:51. > :07:54.equation? Could it be you? simple fact is that everybody
:07:54. > :07:58.thinks Boris Johnson is very funny and he has got great charisma and
:07:58. > :08:03.all that. The issue is to what extent we can focus on issues,
:08:03. > :08:06.because it is not about he tells the best jokes. It is about cutting
:08:06. > :08:10.fares and restoring police jobs. During the day job is more
:08:10. > :08:13.important than when you can be funny on a television sofa.
:08:13. > :08:18.polls suggest you are lagging behind your party. The last three
:08:18. > :08:23.times you have outperformed your party. Is there a danger that you
:08:24. > :08:28.personally could prevent a Labour mayoral to win? Literally, when
:08:28. > :08:32.Boris five years ago said he was going to stand, everyone said,
:08:32. > :08:35.ignore him he is an idiot. Look, this is the most formidable
:08:36. > :08:39.opponent we face. He has got this amazing ability to get away with
:08:39. > :08:42.murder. No other politician would get away with these things. We have
:08:42. > :08:46.discovered Rebekah Brooks and he were talking about his funding
:08:46. > :08:50.package for this corporation whilst they were being investigated by the
:08:50. > :08:56.police. Any other politician would be forced to resign. Boris laughs
:08:56. > :08:59.at all off and gets away with it. You have had your own problems, but
:08:59. > :09:04.let's talk about campaigning. You have campaigned hard on the issues
:09:04. > :09:09.of, as you have said, but doesn't it seem to boil down to the fact
:09:09. > :09:15.that people like and trust Boris Moore, as they like and trust you
:09:15. > :09:19.less. The simple and depressing fact for both of us is that neither
:09:19. > :09:23.-- most people do not like or trust either of us. On the key issues,
:09:23. > :09:27.asked which policy they really like, they like the idea of cutting fares,
:09:27. > :09:31.because this is the worst time for eight years. My job is to put money
:09:31. > :09:36.back in people's pockets. They will spend it in local shops and help
:09:36. > :09:41.the local economy. Your flagship policy of cutting fares by 7%, it
:09:41. > :09:45.is popular with Londoners. But yet you are not leading the race, and
:09:45. > :09:51.the same poll says that 41% of people do not think it will happen.
:09:51. > :09:56.It goes back to trust. If the BBC can resolve this, you can go back
:09:56. > :10:01.to your archives, get the film of me cutting by 30%. This is the
:10:01. > :10:07.smallest fares cut I have ever done. In the last term, fares increased
:10:07. > :10:13.by 23%. Over Boris's turn, they have increased by 28%. Once you
:10:13. > :10:18.allow for inflation... Overall fares. This is my report. TfL's own
:10:18. > :10:23.figures show that they were cap in real terms when I was mayor.
:10:23. > :10:29.Figures aside... It is not because aside... We could argue about
:10:29. > :10:37.figures... The fares did remain the same on the bus, but overall fares
:10:37. > :10:41.and a call last turn increased 23%. Under Boris, 28%. It was 1% above
:10:41. > :10:45.inflation. Is this part of the reason that 41% of people are not
:10:45. > :10:49.sure that you will actually implement your pledge? Is it
:10:49. > :10:53.because, in the past, you have increased them? Is it because they
:10:53. > :10:57.just do not believe what you say? We have had such a debilitating
:10:57. > :11:00.time for politics. There was the MPs' expenses scandal, all the
:11:00. > :11:05.promises made at the general election have been gone back on.
:11:05. > :11:10.Politics generally is a distrusted profession. But there are people in
:11:10. > :11:14.London who remember, you have enough to remember that I cut fares
:11:14. > :11:19.by 30%. We actually got more money in the cheaper fares than when they
:11:19. > :11:22.were higher. We have made no allowance for Ryder ship. We may be
:11:22. > :11:28.able to extend the fares freeze another year if many people come
:11:28. > :11:32.back at cheaper fares. We are at a time of national budget cuts with a
:11:32. > :11:36.Conservative-led government. What makes you think that you are better
:11:36. > :11:40.placed all would be better placed as a Labour mayor, rather than a
:11:40. > :11:43.Tory mayor, to get a better deal from the government? I got more
:11:43. > :11:48.money from Gordon Brown, who disliked the more than George
:11:48. > :11:51.Osborne does. Lighting people does not come into this. It is a
:11:51. > :11:56.question of whether you can put up a package, showing the Treasury
:11:56. > :11:58.will get back more in the long term. But you have to accept that Boris
:11:58. > :12:05.Johnson got �90 million from the government to increase police
:12:05. > :12:08.numbers. Once the cap closed, the government sent in more money. If
:12:08. > :12:13.you look at my campaign, we have not said we would get more money
:12:13. > :12:16.out of government. We found the money to restore the Education
:12:17. > :12:20.Maintenance Allowance. We are paying for the first cut by using
:12:20. > :12:23.the surplus. We are going to build hundreds of thousands of homes have
:12:23. > :12:28.the next 10 years by accessing pension funds. I'm not expecting
:12:28. > :12:32.the government to give me money. How are you going to pay for an
:12:32. > :12:36.increase in police numbers? The two main ways to raise revenue is
:12:36. > :12:40.through increasing fares, which you say you will cuts or freeze,
:12:40. > :12:45.council tax, which you say you will freeze, so when you have to go cap-
:12:45. > :12:49.in-hand to the government? No. To get the police numbers after the
:12:49. > :12:53.level they were, you need another 60 million. We have looked through
:12:53. > :12:56.the police budget and found that reducing overtime, if you have got
:12:56. > :13:00.more police, you don't need to spend so much on overtime, ending
:13:00. > :13:05.first class travel for police officers, getting rid of chauffeur-
:13:05. > :13:08.driven cars... You think that is enough to increase numbers?
:13:08. > :13:12.employed and economists to spend six months going over the budget.
:13:12. > :13:16.We will not get money out of government. We have got to find
:13:16. > :13:19.ways of using the existing mayoral budget more efficiently, cutting
:13:19. > :13:25.out the waste, bringing back police numbers and cutting fares. I have
:13:25. > :13:35.never believed, just by electing me, George Osborne will roll over if I
