:01:14. > :01:16.He was a convicted double killer who was serving life in prison for
:01:17. > :01:20.murder. But, last July, Ian John McLoughlin, who was out on day
:01:21. > :01:24.release for the first time, stabbed a pensioner to death. The victim,
:01:25. > :01:27.Graham Buck, was trying to help his neighbour as McLoughlin robbed him.
:01:28. > :01:33.After the guilty verdict, Mr Buck's wife described how the loss had
:01:34. > :01:42.destroyed her life. Sonja Jessup reports.
:01:43. > :01:46.Captured on camera, the moment Ian John McLoughlin walked out on day
:01:47. > :01:53.release. His intention, to track down a man he'd known in prison and
:01:54. > :01:57.rob him. That and was Francis Cory`Wright who lived in Little
:01:58. > :01:59.Gaddesden. At first, he invited McLoughlin in but it turned violent.
:02:00. > :02:11.He demanded money and said: A neighbour, Graham Buck, heard
:02:12. > :02:17.cries for help but when he intervened, he was stabbed. He died
:02:18. > :02:21.on his own front lawn. The level of violence to cause his death was
:02:22. > :02:25.completely senseless and disproportionate to the act of a man
:02:26. > :02:30.who came to the aid of a vulnerable neighbour. It is on that basis that
:02:31. > :02:35.40 years in prison for a man who is now responsible for the deaths of
:02:36. > :02:41.three men in the course of 30 years is entirely fitting. Told he would
:02:42. > :02:47.serve at least 40 years, McLoughlin appeared to give no reaction. This
:02:48. > :02:52.was the third time he had killed. In 1984, he was jailed for
:02:53. > :02:57.manslaughter. In 1992, jailed for life for stabbing a barman to death.
:02:58. > :03:03.In July this year, when he murdered Graham Buck, it was the first time
:03:04. > :03:08.he was allowed on day release. We have many unanswered questions. I
:03:09. > :03:15.await the outcome of the Ministry of Justice in enquiry into day release
:03:16. > :03:19.of prisoners. Finally, I would like to say Graham's death has left a
:03:20. > :03:26.massive hole in many peoples lives. He will be missed but he will not be
:03:27. > :03:30.forgotten. Sentencing at the Old Bailey, Mr Justice Sweeney said he
:03:31. > :03:34.was barred from passing a whole life sentence because of a European
:03:35. > :03:38.judgement which said it was in breach of human rights. He said he
:03:39. > :03:46.was deeply conscious he would not be able to reflect the worth of Graham
:03:47. > :03:51.Buck 's life. The Ministry of Justice says that whole life tariffs
:03:52. > :03:55.should still be available for the most serious offenders. Police say
:03:56. > :03:59.it is likely McLoughlin at 55 will never leave jail.
:04:00. > :04:03.Lots more to come, including: The legal bid by the care worker who
:04:04. > :04:11.says she can't work on Sundays because of her religion.
:04:12. > :04:15.London surgeons have become the first in the UK to perform a
:04:16. > :04:19.pioneering operation to improve failing hearts whilst they are still
:04:20. > :04:21.beating. It took place at King's College Hospital where medics used
:04:22. > :04:24.what they call less`invasive technology to treat the patient from
:04:25. > :04:37.Bromley. Alex Bushill has this report.
:04:38. > :04:44.I couldn't walk, I was always in agony. My knees, my tummy. It was
:04:45. > :04:51.getting worse. I was struggling to walk upstairs. I was feeling in very
:04:52. > :04:55.low. This man can now enjoy long walks with his family, something
:04:56. > :05:00.inconceivable just a few months ago when, despite never having smoked or
:05:01. > :05:06.drunk much, he was diagnosed with heart failure. I was very worried.
:05:07. > :05:11.Unless you come to that level, you don't know that we are all afraid of
:05:12. > :05:17.death. We may say we are not but we are. Then you look at that
:05:18. > :05:23.possibility. I had hesitations. Did it change the law life? Yes. And so
:05:24. > :05:28.much for the better comic each check out charts his recovery from when
:05:29. > :05:34.his heart had swollen to twice its size. He was a high risk patient and
:05:35. > :05:47.opted to be the first in the UK to have a procedure called cardiac
:05:48. > :05:52.special surgery. By folding the scar out of the way, this allows the rest
:05:53. > :05:59.of the heart to work much more effectively. He used a wire with an
:06:00. > :06:05.anchor at both ends to seal of the dead muscle, producing capacity but
:06:06. > :06:09.also increasing the efficiency of the heart pumping. The heart never
:06:10. > :06:15.had to be stopped. As a result, success rates are hugely improved.
:06:16. > :06:20.This procedure will be trialled across Europe. It is a novel
:06:21. > :06:25.operation done by very skilful surgeons. We need to wait and see
:06:26. > :06:31.the long`term data from the group of patients which have had this
:06:32. > :06:37.procedure. The result is less invasive surgery and no need to stop
:06:38. > :06:44.the heart. It has meant one person has been able to restart his life.
:06:45. > :06:46.Business leaders are calling for rail improvements to Stansted. The
:06:47. > :06:49.business lobby group London First has put forward proposals that could
:06:50. > :06:53.cut the Stansted Express journey time to under 40 minutes. They also
:06:54. > :07:02.want to see better access to the airport by rail and coach. A charity
:07:03. > :07:04.has described proposals to shut 11 children's centres across Essex as
:07:05. > :07:08."savage". The county council also plans to
:07:09. > :07:11.halve the opening hours at a further 33. It says the proposals would save
:07:12. > :07:17.?2.5 million. The authority claims that research showed some centres
:07:18. > :07:20.were not being used. But the Child Poverty Action Group has criticised
:07:21. > :07:22.the move. Two men have appeared in court,
:07:23. > :07:25.charged with terrorism offences. The charged with terrorism offences. The
:07:26. > :07:28.men, who can't be named for legal reasons, were arrested in London
:07:29. > :07:35.last weekend. The BBC's home affairs correspondent Matt Prodger reports
:07:36. > :07:51.from Westminster Magistrates Court. Both men were referred to only by
:07:52. > :07:56.their initials, AB and CD. One was charged under section five of the
:07:57. > :08:01.terrorism act relating to preparation for acts of terrorism.
:08:02. > :08:07.Both men have also been charged under section 58 of the terrorism
:08:08. > :08:09.act of 2000, a lesser charge relating to the possession of
:08:10. > :08:16.terrorist information, namely in this case, a computer file labelled
:08:17. > :08:22.bomb`making. The second defendant was further charged with an offence
:08:23. > :08:28.contrary to the identity documents act. Both men were referred to the
:08:29. > :08:33.Old Bailey on November 18. They have been remanded in custody until then.
:08:34. > :08:37.Two other men who were arrested in the same operation were released
:08:38. > :08:40.earlier this week. A new bike hire scheme has been
:08:41. > :08:43.launched today in Slough. It's starting small with just 65 bikes
:08:44. > :08:46.but, if it's successful, it could expand. Meanwhile, TfL has confirmed
:08:47. > :08:49.that, contrary to previous claims by the Mayor, London's bike hire scheme
:08:50. > :09:01.will need ongoing public funding, as our transport correspondent Tom
:09:02. > :09:07.Edwards reports. Code more commuters in Slough takes
:09:08. > :09:12.to two wheels? Here, congestion is a problem and so, today, the Council
:09:13. > :09:17.launched the latest bike hire scheme to try to change behaviour. One of
:09:18. > :09:21.the things with our cycle group people were saying they didn't have
:09:22. > :09:30.a bicycle. It costs a lot to have a nice bike. Having these at strategic
:09:31. > :09:34.locations is ideal. This is a very good boot and I'm sure people will
:09:35. > :09:42.use these. This scheme is only small, there are three docking
:09:43. > :09:46.stations and 65 bikes. It cost ?175,000 to set up. Its aim is to
:09:47. > :09:51.help commuters cycle between the two train stations and the business
:09:52. > :09:57.park. It can't be a vanity project but a useful thing people are
:09:58. > :10:01.getting utility out of it. In the scheme of things, the way the world
:10:02. > :10:06.is, there is competing demands for funding. It is crucial to our
:10:07. > :10:12.strategy to alleviate traffic congestion. It could be expanded.
:10:13. > :10:18.Compared to London, these are much cheaper, but they are more advanced
:10:19. > :10:23.with a computer on board to control a steering lock. This lock means you
:10:24. > :10:29.can leave it pretty much anywhere. The council here admit that this
:10:30. > :10:36.scheme will never really cover its costs. In London, the London Mayor
:10:37. > :10:43.and TfL initially said this scheme would break even, so today TfL
:10:44. > :10:46.admitted it would always need a subsidy. Critics say the London
:10:47. > :10:52.Mayor has broken a promise. Last year, TfL paid out ?11 million to
:10:53. > :11:01.cover banning costs. It says it will now be trying to increase income
:11:02. > :11:05.from its 8000 hire bikes. Other towns are watching the Slough scheme
:11:06. > :11:11.closely. If it is successful, you could see more of these smaller bike
:11:12. > :11:14.hire projects in other towns. A head teacher in Croydon claims she
:11:15. > :11:18.received threatening messages, after she asked parents not to smoke at
:11:19. > :11:21.the school gates. Susan Pappas, the head at Selsdon Primary, says she
:11:22. > :11:27.wanted to create a healthier environment for her pupils. Warren
:11:28. > :11:35.Nettleford is at the school now for us now.
:11:36. > :11:41.Sadly, we are used to hearing about bullying in the playground but not
:11:42. > :11:46.bullying parents. Susan Pappas has been headteacher for a few months,
:11:47. > :11:51.brought in after a damning Ofsted inspection. She has a good track
:11:52. > :11:56.record at another school in Croydon. It seems some parents came to see
:11:57. > :12:00.her complaining about the fact some parents were congregating smoking at
:12:01. > :12:06.the entrance. She agreed and said it wasn't a good envoy in ``
:12:07. > :12:11.environment for pupils to start the day. She posted a message on the
:12:12. > :12:17.school website asking parents to stop. She received threatening and
:12:18. > :12:24.abusive messages. What worried me was their response
:12:25. > :12:29.to other parents, parents saying they were scared of the other
:12:30. > :12:32.parents, leaving threatening messages. I had not come across that
:12:33. > :12:36.in a primary school or anywhere. messages. I had not come across that
:12:37. > :12:42.in a primary school or anywhere. Has she been deterred, or changed her
:12:43. > :12:47.mind? When I met Susan Pappas, she
:12:48. > :12:52.described herself as being stubborn with no plans to change her mind on
:12:53. > :12:57.this. I spoke to parents earlier and they agree with her.
:12:58. > :13:00.I think she is right. I don't smoke myself but she's probably right.
:13:01. > :13:03.I think she is right. I don't smoke myself but she's probably right I
:13:04. > :13:09.can't believe the parents could act like that. What they are doing is
:13:10. > :13:15.for the children. No, very bad. You think she is right? Definitely. It
:13:16. > :13:24.is a good idea. The children might catch on and want to smoke.
:13:25. > :13:28.Many of the parents said they had heard about the petition against the
:13:29. > :13:33.headteacher and said they wouldn't sign it. I didn't see any parents
:13:34. > :13:36.smoking today so it seems that the headteacher has shown the bullies
:13:37. > :13:40.who is boss. Some of the most vulnerable people
:13:41. > :13:43.in London are those working in prostitution. They live at constant
:13:44. > :13:46.risk of rape, assault, and even murder. But, according to some sex
:13:47. > :13:49.workers, the police are not tackling these types of crime effectively.
:13:50. > :13:56.Our home affairs correspondent Guy Smith has more details.
:13:57. > :14:03.An armed gang enters a flat in Basildon. Free sex workers are
:14:04. > :14:08.robbed and attacked. One of the victims explains why the crime was
:14:09. > :14:12.never reported. They would have been more interested in arresting me for
:14:13. > :14:18.prostitution than in the crime. I know girls who have been raped and
:14:19. > :14:23.they will not report it because the police do not care. 14 years ago,
:14:24. > :14:31.Ruth Jacobs worked in prostitution here in Hampstead. Being back here
:14:32. > :14:36.reminds me of some of the countless lethal situations I found myself in.
:14:37. > :14:43.I did not expect to live in till 30, and I know too many people who have
:14:44. > :14:50.not made it. In a film for Inside Out London, she claims the police
:14:51. > :14:55.did not act when sex workers become victims of crime. She met the MP for
:14:56. > :15:00.Slough who has been looking into laws surrounding prostitution. The
:15:01. > :15:05.police are not focusing on the criminals who are raping and killing
:15:06. > :15:09.women. They are arresting women for being in prostitution and it is a
:15:10. > :15:20.waste of their energy. The attitude of the police means that men can do
:15:21. > :15:24.things with impunity. Ruth visited Liverpool to look at a project, set
:15:25. > :15:31.up after the murder of a prostitute in 2005. Here, Merseyside Police
:15:32. > :15:41.patrolled the streets. Officers apparently treat all crimes against
:15:42. > :15:47.sex workers as hate crimes, the same approach as homophobic attacks. It
:15:48. > :15:53.is a different world than it used to be. That is why I am concerned that
:15:54. > :15:58.you are working. My role is to keep people safe and protect people. I am
:15:59. > :16:05.not putting them in a car and taking them to a police station. Ruth
:16:06. > :16:11.Jacobs says in one year the liveable PROJECT saw a 67% conviction rate
:16:12. > :16:17.for those who rape sex workers. Both Essex and Met police say they
:16:18. > :16:24.investigate all crimes reported to them by victims, regardless of their
:16:25. > :16:32.background or past criminal history. You can watch the full report on
:16:33. > :16:38.Inside Out London at 7:30pm. Still to come: High hopes ` as our
:16:39. > :16:44.acrobatic gymnasts limber up for the European Championships. And a set of

:17:20. > :17:25.council to court for this constructive dismissal, and lost.
:17:26. > :17:29.She worshipped as a Baptist church in South London and believes that as
:17:30. > :17:35.a Christian Sunday should be a day of rest. When she started as a
:17:36. > :17:40.residential care worker, she was told that would be OK but over the

:21:46. > :21:49.a London pub and set out the original laws of what's now known as
:21:50. > :21:52.'the beautiful game'. The authors ` considered as the founding fathers

:22:01. > :22:05.Unveiled today, this plaque commemorates football's founding
:22:06. > :22:10.Fathers. In London 150 years ago, eight men wrote the original rules
:22:11. > :22:14.of football. Today, some of their relatives celebrated what their
:22:15. > :22:25.ancestors did. It was my great great great uncle. Are you proud of what
:22:26. > :22:30.he did? Yes, I am very proud. How exciting was today for you? Really
:22:31. > :22:36.excited. I could not believe I was here, missing school. It is a much
:22:37. > :22:45.better thing than going to school. One relative came from New Zealand.
:22:46. > :22:49.Three days flying. Worth it? Absolutely, I would not have mist it
:22:50. > :23:00.for the world. It is an amazing honour. `` I would not have missed
:23:01. > :23:05.it for the world. The founders wrote 13 rules although they were a bit
:23:06. > :23:11.different to today's game. It was a free for all. There was a rope for
:23:12. > :23:20.the crossbar and there were no penalties or stuff like that. It has
:23:21. > :23:25.mushroomed Masha `` massively. The topic of conversation in football is
:23:26. > :23:34.in every family and that is why we are so lucky. The men wrote this
:23:35. > :23:37.rule book at this pub. They sat down in autumn 1863 to decide on the

:23:43. > :23:48.is on loan to the British library in till the middle of December. It is
:23:49. > :23:53.valued at ?2.5 million. A lot of money for a book but it Rob Lee
:23:54. > :24:00.would not buy you Garrett Rael's boots! Now for the weather. It is
:24:01. > :24:09.not all bad and I have some good news. We will properly not have to
:24:10. > :24:16.put the heating up too high. It will be very mild. It will happen tonight
:24:17. > :24:21.and that is despite there being breaks in the cloud. That rain edged

:24:24. > :24:25.up towards the North of England and up towards the North of England, and
:24:26. > :24:29.you can see the breaks towards the end of day. We had some decent
:24:30. > :24:34.spells of sunshine, and you can see this lump of cloud here which will
:24:35. > :24:38.work its way in tomorrow. It is a tangle of weather fronts associated
:24:39. > :24:41.with a low pressure system. It will ring us some more wet weather

:24:54. > :24:59.quite mild. Temperatures are around 18 Celsius, like today. We would
:25:00. > :25:04.expect it to be around 14 degrees on a typical October's day. That is
:25:05. > :25:07.more likely to be the temperature tonight and every night this week.
:25:08. > :25:17.This evening we have clear conditions. We will get away with a
:25:18. > :25:23.dry rush`hour tomorrow as well. If there is any rain it will edge in
:25:24. > :25:27.from the West. As we go through the day tomorrow we will see some pulses
:25:28. > :25:36.of rain working their way up from the south. At times, they will be
:25:37. > :25:41.quite heavy. A breezy day tomorrow but it will be mild at 18 Celsius.
:25:42. > :25:46.Bits and pieces throughout the week. Pretty unsettled as we go
:25:47. > :25:52.through Wednesday with some showers. Its of sunshine in between
:25:53. > :25:56.and it will start dry on Thursday with some rain in the afternoon
:25:57. > :26:00.There will be a breeze blowing through the week although it will

:26:13. > :26:15.has defended a deal to build the first new nuclear power station in a
:26:16. > :26:18.generation. He says the Hinkley C plant in Somerset will help the

:26:23. > :26:25.from Ukraine has pleaded guilty to murdering a Muslim pensioner as he

:26:37. > :26:40.as new figures show that more than two thirds of salad grown for bags

:27:08. > :27:10.perform a pioneering operation to improve failing hearts. The medics
:27:11. > :27:16.used technology which allowed them to operate while the patient's heart
:27:17. > :27:19.was still beating. That's it. Sara Orchard will be here later during
:27:20. > :27:22.the ten o'clock news, but for now from everyone on the team have a
