:00:20. > :00:25.We do need to make sure that road layouts are as safe as they can be.
:00:26. > :00:28.If the Mayor and TEFL do not take action, there could be more deaths

:00:40. > :00:44.treatment is the only hope, otherwise he can die, so we haven't
:00:45. > :00:47.got a choice that time. Fit for work? A council claims the
:00:48. > :00:56.performance of the company which tests disabled people is "shocking".
:00:57. > :00:58.Plus: We're live at the premiere of Thor ` the latest blockbuster in
:00:59. > :01:14.which London plays a starring role. Hello and good evening. A coroner
:01:15. > :01:19.says action needs to be taken to prevent future deaths on the cycling
:01:20. > :01:22.Superhighways. Mary Hassell today presented her report after presiding
:01:23. > :01:27.over the inquests of two cyclists who died on Superhighway 2, which
:01:28. > :01:30.goes from Wandsworth to Bow. She says cyclists get lulled into a
:01:31. > :01:34.false sense of security, assuming they have to ride on the blue strips
:01:35. > :01:38.which may not put them in the best position to be in. Transport for
:01:39. > :01:47.London says it'll do all it can to reduce the risk. Our Transport
:01:48. > :01:52.Correspondent, Tom Edwards, reports. There are flowers at Aldgate where
:01:53. > :01:56.French cyclist died in July on cycling Superhighway 2. Now a
:01:57. > :02:01.coroner has criticised these flagship schemes. For those using it
:02:02. > :02:06.heading home tonight, that's no surprise. Does this make you feel
:02:07. > :02:09.safer? No, because people don't care about it. It is quite tight. It is
:02:10. > :02:13.part of the car lane, and there s a part of the car lane, and there s a
:02:14. > :02:19.lot of potholes along it and the road surface isn't very good. In a
:02:20. > :02:32.report sent to the Mayor about the Superhighways, the coroner said:
:02:33. > :02:40.Cyclists believe they have to ride on the blue strips, which might not
:02:41. > :02:44.be the correct position. The cycling Superhighways are a fantastic idea
:02:45. > :02:49.and a very good for cyclists, but they are not safe enough. The point
:02:50. > :02:53.was to make them safe highways for cyclists. If the Mayor and TEFL
:02:54. > :02:59.don't take action, there could be more deaths and injuries. Brian
:03:00. > :03:02.Dowling died at the same Superhighway at row roundabout. It
:03:03. > :03:06.encourages cyclists use this route. Both himself and a lorry went
:03:07. > :03:11.through a red light. The coroner said last week that didn't impact on
:03:12. > :03:17.what had happened, and it was the road design that encourage the
:03:18. > :03:20.cyclists into the blind spot. Transport for London disagrees. The
:03:21. > :03:23.primary cause of the terrible accident was that he and the lorry
:03:24. > :03:28.went through a red light. We need to make sure that road layouts are as
:03:29. > :03:34.safe as they can be. We have altered it once, and no doubt we will alter
:03:35. > :03:39.it again. Red lights are relevant if he is in the wrong position, though,
:03:40. > :03:42.due to your cycling Superhighway? If you cycle or drive through a red
:03:43. > :03:48.night you are likely to have an accident. That has infuriated
:03:49. > :03:53.campaigners and the families of those who died, who have condemned
:03:54. > :03:59.cycling Superhighways. They are bit of blue paint on the road with no
:04:00. > :04:03.separation from the main road. Cars don't know their status and neither
:04:04. > :04:07.do cyclists. Where you have road systems like this where you have
:04:08. > :04:12.large numbers of heavy goods vehicles, thousands of vehicles per
:04:13. > :04:17.day, you need dedicated space for cyclists to keep people safe.
:04:18. > :04:20.Transport for London says it will continue to improve the
:04:21. > :04:25.Superhighways, especially at junctions, and says that cycling is
:04:26. > :04:29.usually safe. More Superhighways are planned, it says, but the coroner
:04:30. > :04:37.says it is now up to the Mayor to include `` to improve their safety.
:04:38. > :04:40.Lots more to come including: Chinatown in shutdown. Businesses
:04:41. > :04:50.there protest, claiming over zealous immigration raids.
:04:51. > :04:55.Mohammed Ahmed is one of the first children in the world to undergo a
:04:56. > :04:59.bone`marrow transplant using a pioneering new technique. Doctors at
:05:00. > :05:02.Great Ormond Street Hospital, who carried it out, say the method
:05:03. > :05:06.should help with donor shortages ` since it doesn't require a perfect
:05:07. > :05:12.cell match. Helen Drew has the story.
:05:13. > :05:15.Enjoying a family afternoon in the playground, but life hasn't always
:05:16. > :05:19.been so upbeat for this family. Four`year`old Mohammed Ahmed waited
:05:20. > :05:23.years for a bone marrow transplant. He has a weak immune system, as did
:05:24. > :05:27.his sister, who died before he was born at just a year old. Mohammed
:05:28. > :05:31.has become the second child in the world to try a new marrow transplant
:05:32. > :05:35.technique, with his dad as the donor. They said to me, this
:05:36. > :05:42.treatment is the only hope, otherwise he can die. So we haven't
:05:43. > :05:50.got a choice that time. We were just hoping and praying to the God that
:05:51. > :05:56.he get better. Treatment was carried out as part of a study at Great
:05:57. > :05:59.Ormond Street Hospital, along with the Institute of Child health. The
:06:00. > :06:04.key to the new technique is that it allows the use of cells which are
:06:05. > :06:08.not a perfect match. The way it works is that in the lab the doctors
:06:09. > :06:13.take the donated cells and engineer a little safety switch in them, so
:06:14. > :06:16.that once those cells are put in the patient's body, if they attack the
:06:17. > :06:31.body because they are not a perfect match, they can in effect be killed
:06:32. > :06:33.off. That will have applications beyond this particular study, for
:06:34. > :06:37.other types of leukaemia and other conditions. So there's a whole bunch
:06:38. > :06:42.of studies in the pipeline, not just here but across other centres, using
:06:43. > :06:47.the same platform of technology and the expertise we have developed in
:06:48. > :06:54.London. For Mohammed and his family, it has been a success. He is taking
:06:55. > :06:59.medication, but a very minimal amount, to just keep him better
:07:00. > :07:04.Otherwise, he is fine. It is only a trial at the moment, but the hope is
:07:05. > :07:07.that this new technique for help with donor shortages, so that
:07:08. > :07:14.children like Mohammed do not have to wait years for potentially
:07:15. > :07:17.life`saving operations. A council has written to ministers
:07:18. > :07:19.saying the performance of the company carrying out
:07:20. > :07:21."fitness`for`work" tests on disabled people has been "shocking".
:07:22. > :07:24.Islington Council said the tests carried out by Atos health care had
:07:25. > :07:28.been too simplistic after around 90% of appeals made by its residents
:07:29. > :07:35.were won. Atos says the testing is designed by the government.
:07:36. > :07:38.Jonathan Green from Clerkenwell was a motorcycle courier until he had an
:07:39. > :07:42.accident that took him off the road. The nerves in his spinal cord
:07:43. > :07:48.were severely damaged, and he was put on severe painkillers. I am
:07:49. > :07:54.still in pain now. I have real problems walking any kind of great
:07:55. > :07:58.distance. You know... Certain things I can't really do, like bending
:07:59. > :08:07.over, squatting, and getting up and down onto my hands and knees. After
:08:08. > :08:10.being told he could claim sickness benefit, he was given a 30`minute
:08:11. > :08:16.assessment by Atos, and later informed he was fit enough to work.
:08:17. > :08:20.I can remember one of the questions I was asked, which was "Do you watch
:08:21. > :08:25.television? What are your favourite television programmes?" In my
:08:26. > :08:30.situation, when you have an injured spine, it doesn't have anything to
:08:31. > :08:33.do with that. His appeal was one of over 100 funded by Islington
:08:34. > :08:36.Council, 90% of which were overturned. The council has now
:08:37. > :08:39.passed a vote of no`confidence in the company, and has told the
:08:40. > :08:44.government it no longer wants them to have the contract their borough.
:08:45. > :08:47.That says to me that Atos simply don't have the skills or the
:08:48. > :08:51.knowledge to make the assessments they are being asked to do by the
:08:52. > :08:54.government. The system is a mess, and these wrong decisions are
:08:55. > :08:56.hitting taxpayers, who have to pay for the consequences of these
:08:57. > :09:00.mistakes, and are having a devastating effect on the lives of
:09:01. > :09:02.many disabled residents. The company has already come under much
:09:03. > :09:05.criticism since they got the government contract for work
:09:06. > :09:08.assessments, but it is not yet clear whether such an action by a local
:09:09. > :09:13.authority will really make a difference. The government claims
:09:14. > :09:15.that since 2010, it has considerably improved the work capability
:09:16. > :09:18.assessment process, and a spokesperson for the Department for
:09:19. > :09:21.Work and Pensions says that it believes when a decision is
:09:22. > :09:23.overruled, it could be because new evidence has been produced. And Atos
:09:24. > :09:47.told BBC London: Jonathan says he hopes to get off
:09:48. > :09:56.benefits and get back to work in the next few months, but for now,
:09:57. > :10:00.doctors say he must take care. Most of Chinatown went in to shut
:10:01. > :10:05.down this afternoon as businesses protested over what they say is
:10:06. > :10:09.unfair treatment by the immigration authorities. They say they are under
:10:10. > :10:17.fairly subjected to constant raids. The Home Office says it takes
:10:18. > :10:21.allegations of handedness seriously. Chinatown at a standstill this
:10:22. > :10:26.afternoon. The business community here is fed up. Most shops and
:10:27. > :10:34.restaurants closed their doors for two hours. They were protesting
:10:35. > :10:39.about this, one of a dozen alleged raids this summer by immigration
:10:40. > :10:44.officers. The video was given to us by the Chinatown Association. It
:10:45. > :10:49.claims raids have been heavy`handed and disproportionate. This
:10:50. > :10:54.restauranteur says he's been fined ?10,000 on two occasions when it
:10:55. > :10:56.illegal workers were found in his kitchen. I think it is a
:10:57. > :11:01.stereo`typing. I think they are racist and I think they are
:11:02. > :11:05.guessing. This woman does odd jobs in Chinatown. She is an asylum
:11:06. > :11:10.seeker and therefore not legally allowed to work in the UK, but
:11:11. > :11:14.despite being caught by immigration officers, she claims she was let out
:11:15. > :11:20.shortly after. TRANSLATION: Have been washing
:11:21. > :11:26.dishes in the canteen, earning a bit of living expenses, and I was
:11:27. > :11:31.offered a place to live and food to eat. There were people calling me to
:11:32. > :11:36.be a prostitute, but I refuse to go. Her story is one of many.
:11:37. > :11:41.Restaurants here claim there is a shortage of staff. Determining
:11:42. > :11:45.someone's immigration status can be difficult, and the community
:11:46. > :11:49.believes it is being unfairly treated. When they turn up at the
:11:50. > :11:53.restaurant, they don't show a warrant or ask for a particular
:11:54. > :11:57.person they are looking for. They even ask the employees in the
:11:58. > :12:07.restaurant if there is an illegal working in the restaurant. Clearly
:12:08. > :12:09.they are not intelligence led. These communities are known for
:12:10. > :12:11.complaining publicly about these issues. The demonstration today is
:12:12. > :12:15.an indication of the depth of feeling and the damage that raids
:12:16. > :12:20.are doing. This is not the first time Chinatown has taken such
:12:21. > :12:25.action. Six years ago there was a similar rally for similar reasons.
:12:26. > :12:28.The Home Office says it takes seriously any allegations of
:12:29. > :12:29.heavy`handed miss and will investigate. It denies targeting the
:12:30. > :12:43.Chinese community. Meanwhile, the community here is
:12:44. > :12:51.sending a message to government. Meanwhile, the community here is
:12:52. > :12:57.sending a message to government. Stay with us. Still to come tonight:
:12:58. > :13:01.I am on the red carpet at Leicester Square waiting for some a list
:13:02. > :13:06.people. Stay with us to find out who.

:13:23. > :13:26.could use new laws to stop some nightclubs and bars selling alcohol
:13:27. > :13:30.after midnight. Residents in Clapham have complained of noise and
:13:31. > :13:34.anti`social behaviour linked to three venues. Lambeth could be one
:13:35. > :13:38.of the first local authorities in London to use these powers to stop
:13:39. > :13:46.late`night drinking. It describes itself as having the
:13:47. > :13:51.best five in London. It is only open at the weekend, and stopped serving
:13:52. > :13:59.at 1:30am. When it is time to leave, this: There is large numbers of
:14:00. > :14:03.people on the pavement outside. There are three bars in the same
:14:04. > :14:06.area, and some people living here say they have had enough of sharing
:14:07. > :14:10.their street with late`night drinkers. The vast majority of
:14:11. > :14:16.people here are families with residents, and there is a time and a
:14:17. > :14:22.place for these venues, but it is simply not here. We want to be a
:14:23. > :14:28.normal residential area. New rules mean the council can limit licensing
:14:29. > :14:33.hours here. In 2005, laws were brought in to relax licensing. This
:14:34. > :14:38.power aims to give control back to local authorities to restrict who
:14:39. > :14:42.can sell alcohol when. Here on the Wandsworth Road, three venues and
:14:43. > :14:47.anyone else who serves alcohol, will only be able to do so before
:14:48. > :14:56.midnight. But the club has been here for 14 years and the owners say they
:14:57. > :14:58.have never had any trouble. Closing early, they say, will finish them.
:14:59. > :15:01.If we have to close at midnight we If we have to close at midnight we
:15:02. > :15:04.will be out of business. I would hate to be responsible for people
:15:05. > :15:08.losing their sleep, but we have paid for two independent sound reports
:15:09. > :15:14.over the past few years, and it has been proven by experts that they
:15:15. > :15:20.would not hear any noise over the background of traffic. We don't want
:15:21. > :15:25.to put anyone out of business, but we also want people to be safe on a
:15:26. > :15:30.night out. In this tiny, congested corner of Lambeth, it is not
:15:31. > :15:34.working. Lambeth Council is consulting on this, and other London
:15:35. > :15:37.authorities have looked at introducing similar restrictions.
:15:38. > :15:45.They will be watching Lambeth to see how this ban affects the borough. He
:15:46. > :15:49.wants Lords to become a "friendlier" home of cricket. That's the aim of
:15:50. > :15:52.the new president of the MCC, Mike Gatting. Drawing on his experiences
:15:53. > :15:55.as a young player, the former England Captain believes the ground

:16:24. > :16:29.memories of that triumph are as clear as ever. It doesn't get any
:16:30. > :16:32.better. Whilst we were over there, the supporters were quite
:16:33. > :16:38.astonishing. The fact that we were winning out there was bringing some

:21:43. > :21:50.Street. I trained as an actor at Rada, about another half a mile from
:21:51. > :21:54.the hospital. I used to come down here as a student, you would spill
:21:55. > :21:57.into the West End to grab a bite to eat. I would see these premiers.
:21:58. > :22:00.into the West End to grab a bite to eat. I would see these premiers And
:22:01. > :22:05.here you are tonight. And huge swathes of the capital destroyed in
:22:06. > :22:09.this movie, aren't they? Some parts. Greenwich takes a big hit but it
:22:10. > :22:17.survives. Greenwich is made of sterner stuff. Natalie Portman, the
:22:18. > :22:22.skies are Norse gods, you are a mere human but you are a scientist, is
:22:23. > :22:38.that more powerful? She does have some powers of her own... They take
:22:39. > :22:43.care of me. I've got my bodyguards. As far as bodyguards go, you've done
:22:44. > :22:48.pretty well. In the film you get to slap them. I do. They didn't feel
:22:49. > :22:56.it, of course, because they are very tough. The men that have been
:22:57. > :23:01.slapped by Natalie Portman, I think it's just the two of us. So far! It
:23:02. > :23:07.it's just the two of us. So far It was not uncalled for, we deserved
:23:08. > :23:12.it. This is a sequel. You guys must be old friends, despite the sibling
:23:13. > :23:18.rivalry on screen. We are. We started this journey three years
:23:19. > :23:22.ago. He's getting close with that camera! To be here with this kind of
:23:23. > :23:28.affection and response is not, no one knew what they were in for. It's
:23:29. > :23:35.very special. What is the audience in for? A good time. It's true. It's
:23:36. > :23:42.a new dynamic between all the characters. It is lovely to see Thor
:23:43. > :23:51.and Jane again, because Jane didn't make it to the last one, she was
:23:52. > :23:56.siphoned away on some expedition. Natalie, do you think this could be
:23:57. > :24:04.the last or do you think you might make a comeback? It is up to Marvel
:24:05. > :24:08.comics, the powers that be. Have a lovely evening. From all of us here
:24:09. > :24:16.in Leicester Square, back to you in the studio. It's not long to go
:24:17. > :24:19.before we and a certain bear will be asking you to help us once again
:24:20. > :24:26.raise money for BBC Children in Need. We've seen everything from
:24:27. > :24:30.dancing`on`ice to superheroes. So tell us what you're planning to do
:24:31. > :24:34.this year. In fact, surprise us Don't be shy, the wackier and more
:24:35. > :24:38.unusual the better. You could even be invited onto our live show on the
:24:39. > :24:40.night. Just get in touch by email, the address is on your screen `
:24:41. > :25:00.yourlondon@bbc.co.uk. Is the Norse God of Thunder going to
:25:01. > :25:05.be kind to us? I've got everything in the forecast
:25:06. > :25:09.tonight. It is going to be a very windy night. It is also going to be
:25:10. > :25:16.a pretty wet night for some of us, but it will be mild. Let's
:25:17. > :25:22.concentrate on the thundery rain. The Met Office has a weather warning
:25:23. > :25:27.in place. Some of seeing as much as ten 15 millimetres in an hour. You
:25:28. > :25:30.might even get 30 millimetres in three hours if you are really
:25:31. > :25:34.unlucky. Those sorts of rainfall rates are likely to cause some local
:25:35. > :25:39.flash flooding, especially with lots of leaves around to block the
:25:40. > :25:44.drains. The winds accompanying the heavy downpours will be quite
:25:45. > :25:51.strong. We can expect gusts generally of 14 mph. There is the
:25:52. > :25:55.potential for gusts as strong as 60 mph. Quite an important speed with
:25:56. > :25:59.the wind, because when it gets as strong as that you can reckon on
:26:00. > :26:04.some rather large branches being blown out of the trees, roof tiles
:26:05. > :26:08.can get blown off and if you've got a badly maintained chimney, well,
:26:09. > :26:15.you might get a really nasty surprise overnight tonight! It will
:26:16. > :26:19.be a mild night. If you are up early, expect some debris on the
:26:20. > :26:23.roads and pavements. There will still be some sharp showers around.
:26:24. > :26:30.The wind will eventually blow them away. It should be dry, bright and
:26:31. > :26:35.breezy by the afternoon. Thursday, rather chilly start with some mist
:26:36. > :26:40.and fog. That will clear but cloud will arrive. That will bring some
:26:41. > :26:44.wet weather for end of the week clearing to sunshine and showers for
:26:45. > :26:45.the weekend. But watch out for that wind and thundery rain overnight
:26:46. > :26:50.tonight. Now the main headlines. wind and thundery rain overnight
:26:51. > :26:52.tonight. Now the main headlines The tonight. Now the main headlines. The
:26:53. > :26:55.former Conservative Prime Minister, Sir John Major, has called for an
:26:56. > :26:59.emergency tax on energy companies if they impose excess price rises ahead
:27:00. > :27:03.of a cold winter. Yesterday, NPower became the latest of the big six
:27:04. > :27:07.suppliers to announce a price hike. The Government says ?500 million a
:27:08. > :27:10.year could be saved by the NHS if it claimed back money from foreign
:27:11. > :27:16.patients treated here. Labour has dismissed the claim as more about
:27:17. > :27:26.spin than substance. Police in Dublin have removed a seven`year`old
:27:27. > :27:28.blonde girl from a Roma family. A coroner has criticised London's
:27:29. > :27:31.superhighways for lulling cyclists into a false sense of security. Her
:27:32. > :27:35.comments come after she presided over the inquest into the death of
:27:36. > :27:39.two cyclists knocked over in East London. More on the day's stories on
:27:40. > :27:43.our website and I'll be back with our late news. From all of us on the
