:00:08. > :00:15.On the programme tonight: Another cyclist death on London's roads, the
:00:16. > :00:22.sixth in two weeks. There are renewed calls for the Mayor to act.
:00:23. > :00:29.He could ban HGVs at the morning rush hour because that is the time
:00:30. > :00:34.of the most deaths and injuries. We speak to Transport for London and a
:00:35. > :00:39.cycling campaign about road safety. Also tonight: A failure to deliver
:00:40. > :00:45.on a key Olympic promise. A report says the games did not do enough for
:00:46. > :00:51.young people. Plus a host of celebrities staff the telephone
:00:52. > :00:55.lines at BT Tower to help in the Philippines typhoon appeal. And the
:00:56. > :01:08.London Jazz Festival gets into full swing for it 21st anniversary.
:01:09. > :01:18.Good evening. Another cyclist has been killed on London's roads, the
:01:19. > :01:23.sixth death in two weeks. The man in his 60s died following a collision
:01:24. > :01:28.with a lorry in South East London around midday. This latest death has
:01:29. > :01:35.led to renewed calls for City Hall to ban HGVs during rush hour.
:01:36. > :01:41.Just after midday a cyclist died here in Camberwell in south London.
:01:42. > :01:46.Again it was after a collision with an HGV. The cyclist was in his 60s.
:01:47. > :01:55.The day's death means six cyclists have died in the last 13 days. In
:01:56. > :01:59.2012 there were 14 deaths, five involving HGVs. That is now the same
:02:00. > :02:08.number as this year, nine involving a collision lorries. I have got some
:02:09. > :02:14.nice coloured bruises. Clare has been extremely lucky. She nearly
:02:15. > :02:18.died after she was hit a week ago. Passers`by lifted a car of her. She
:02:19. > :02:25.cannot remember what happened, but she has been told she had no pulse
:02:26. > :02:30.and was resuscitated. Fortunately these people acted quickly and
:02:31. > :02:36.sensibly and they did not drop the car on me again. They took a risk
:02:37. > :02:42.doing that, but it saved my life. Do you think it is safe in London to
:02:43. > :02:47.cycle? No, I do not think it is safe. You can see by the number of
:02:48. > :02:55.people who have died that it is not safe. The Mayor is proposing HGVs
:02:56. > :03:00.without safety mirrors and side buyers will get a fine. A
:03:01. > :03:06.consultation on that starts next year. We do not underestimate our
:03:07. > :03:11.ambition and determination to make this a fantastic place to be a
:03:12. > :03:15.cyclist. Flat in Paris they have banned lorries during the day and
:03:16. > :03:23.deaths have dropped dramatically. Many think the same should happen
:03:24. > :03:28.here. It is a death with an HGV which is part of a pattern in
:03:29. > :03:33.London. The Mayor has to do something very quickly and something
:03:34. > :03:39.substantial, not a gesture. City Hall says it is investing millions
:03:40. > :03:42.to make cycling saviour and tonight it has announced 2000 officers will
:03:43. > :03:51.be put on the streets to police all road users. With me now is Danny
:03:52. > :03:55.Williams a cycling blogger who also sits on the Mayor's roads task
:03:56. > :04:05.force, and Leon Daniels from Transport for London. Leon Daniels,
:04:06. > :04:09.why not ban HGVs during rush hour? First we have to send our
:04:10. > :04:14.condolences to the families and the cyclists who have died in the last
:04:15. > :04:17.few days. We are working hard to establish the cause of those
:04:18. > :04:23.accidents. That is being done by the police. A number of accidents have
:04:24. > :04:29.taken place as a result of a collision with heavy goods vehicles.
:04:30. > :04:34.Not all of the collisions we have had have been during the day. Some
:04:35. > :04:39.have been at night as well. But Paris has banned them during rush
:04:40. > :04:45.hour. And in Paris it is widely flouted. The issue you have got in
:04:46. > :04:52.London is tipper trucks and when you look at the number of people being
:04:53. > :04:56.killed at rush hour, 90% have been killed by an HGV. There is a clear
:04:57. > :05:01.mandate to do something about tipper trucks during rush hour. Why do they
:05:02. > :05:06.need to be on the road at the same time that kids are going to school?
:05:07. > :05:11.We have undertaken to look at what is going on in Paris and elsewhere.
:05:12. > :05:16.We have discussed this with the freight industry and other
:05:17. > :05:23.colleagues. There are implications for deliveries and construction. But
:05:24. > :05:26.one cycling death is one too many and we will learn from this
:05:27. > :05:32.experience. Is this not a bit too late? There has been a big increase
:05:33. > :05:37.in cycling over the last few years, but the number of deaths have
:05:38. > :05:44.broadly gone down a little bit. There is a 20% increase and there is
:05:45. > :05:49.a 30% increase last year. The trends have been fairly evident for three
:05:50. > :05:57.years. We have been discussing this with industry and the Mayor has said
:05:58. > :06:02.next year he will consult on a safer lorry chart. We have worked with the
:06:03. > :06:09.industry on extra training for the drivers. We are working as hard as
:06:10. > :06:14.we can. It was a bold cycling vision and there are increased numbers on
:06:15. > :06:19.the roads. But with the issues of lorries and specific junctions, is
:06:20. > :06:24.it not a case that there was a great vision, but the infrastructure and
:06:25. > :06:28.detail lagged behind? The first delivery of that vision was below
:06:29. > :06:33.quality and it was not up to the grade you see in Amsterdam or New
:06:34. > :06:38.York. We are only just beginning to catch up. The Mayor is finally
:06:39. > :06:44.starting to see light and is doing something differently. The 2000
:06:45. > :06:50.piece we have on the streets from next week will be adopting a zero
:06:51. > :06:57.tolerance policy for all road users. What about cycling with a helmet?
:06:58. > :07:04.That is for all of us who need to take care of each other. Most of all
:07:05. > :07:09.we need to make sure it is safe. Six deaths in two weeks is extremely
:07:10. > :07:16.shocking. People should not have to recycle in fear. It is absolutely
:07:17. > :07:19.shocking, six to many. London roads have not got dramatically worse
:07:20. > :07:28.overnight. The number of deaths is far too many... It is massively
:07:29. > :07:32.worse with seriously injured people. If you look at the absolute numbers
:07:33. > :07:38.of people being killed, which is pretty tragic, and the pedestrian
:07:39. > :07:43.numbers are not great either, 69 people last year, that is static,
:07:44. > :07:49.but if you look at the number of people being seriously injured,
:07:50. > :07:53.losing limbs... From what you are hearing is a putting people off from
:07:54. > :08:02.cycling in the capital? People started getting angry. What are you
:08:03. > :08:07.doing? We are working with the agency to make the roads safer and
:08:08. > :08:10.we are providing over ?1 billion for the infrastructure and we are
:08:11. > :08:16.working as quickly as we can in order to deliver improvements in all
:08:17. > :08:23.areas. In the meantime, everybody must take care. Why has it taken so
:08:24. > :08:26.long? There has been a dramatic increase in cycling and we have been
:08:27. > :08:33.building new infrastructure as quickly as we can. We have run out
:08:34. > :08:41.of time. Plenty more ahead including: New training drills to
:08:42. > :08:53.help improve how the emergency services respond to a tower block
:08:54. > :08:57.fire. It was by far the most extensive enquiry into whether the
:08:58. > :09:02.Olympic Games have changed the lives of Londoners in a meaningful way.
:09:03. > :09:06.Today those behind the House of Lords investigation published their
:09:07. > :09:12.report which found the key promise to create a legacy for young people
:09:13. > :09:22.has not been delivered. London's vision is to reach people,
:09:23. > :09:27.young people, all around the world. To connect them with the
:09:28. > :09:30.inspirational power of the games. That is so they are inspired to
:09:31. > :09:34.choose sport. More than eight years since
:09:35. > :09:39.Sebastien Coe made this ambitious promise to change the lives of young
:09:40. > :09:44.people and he meant young Londoners as well. But today's report suggests
:09:45. > :09:51.the reality has not lived up to the vision. We are disappointed the step
:09:52. > :09:56.change improvement have not taken place. There is an obesity epidemic
:09:57. > :10:02.in this country. The earlier that good patterns of physical activity
:10:03. > :10:08.are engaged in by every citizen, the better it will be for as
:10:09. > :10:11.individually and as a nation. The report says young Londoners living
:10:12. > :10:18.around the Olympic Park must be part of the legacy in terms of not just
:10:19. > :10:22.sport, but jobs as well. It calls for more investment in primary
:10:23. > :10:27.school teachers and coaches and says Ofsted should report on P in all
:10:28. > :10:30.inspections and it calls on the Mayor and local authorities to
:10:31. > :10:35.develop improved job skills in east London. The students at this
:10:36. > :10:40.construction College near the Olympic Park say it is crucial. A
:10:41. > :10:47.lot of young people do not get the opportunity. To have a qualification
:10:48. > :10:53.behind them is a pathway for other people to see them and give them an
:10:54. > :10:58.opportunity. Despite the arrival of a shopping centre, the job situation
:10:59. > :11:04.for young people is very tough. You need skills that people are not
:11:05. > :11:10.offering to give. Nobody wants to give you the experience to get the
:11:11. > :11:16.skills. The government said today it plans to use the inspiration of 2012
:11:17. > :11:21.to deliver lasting change in east London and in sport, but some worry
:11:22. > :11:29.the 2012 pixie dust will not be around for ever for the next
:11:30. > :11:33.generation. Reigate MP Crispin Blunt has been reselected to stand again
:11:34. > :11:38.for the Conservatives, despite his local party leaders saying they did
:11:39. > :11:43.not want him as a candidate. Mr Bland, who came out as a three years
:11:44. > :11:50.ago, won a large majority to stay as candidate. My supporters and I have
:11:51. > :11:53.been able to put together a good campaign to present the case for
:11:54. > :11:59.re`adopting me and a campaign which has included support from the party
:12:00. > :12:03.hierarchy and by Parliamentary colleagues, but most touchingly of
:12:04. > :12:12.all from constituents who have had to turn to me for help. Reigate has
:12:13. > :12:16.a decent MP, that is their statement. A south London School has
:12:17. > :12:21.accused Ofsted inspectors of being rude and dismissive and making up
:12:22. > :12:24.evidence. Battersea Park School complained in June about the conduct
:12:25. > :12:30.of the inspectors after they received a critical report. The case
:12:31. > :12:36.has raised questions about who inspects the inspectors.
:12:37. > :12:43.Teaching is in adequate. Students do not do well enough. The achievement
:12:44. > :12:48.has declined, just some comments levelled at Battersea Park Secondary
:12:49. > :12:52.School in an Ofsted report in June. A few months later the school saw a
:12:53. > :12:59.14% rise in pupils gaining higher grades. This formal complaint is
:13:00. > :13:03.made by the school about the inspection. They raise serious
:13:04. > :13:06.concerns about the conduct and behaviour of the inspectors and
:13:07. > :13:10.raise questions over the quality of their findings. Inspectors were
:13:11. > :13:16.accused of being rude and dismissive. One arrived 55 minutes
:13:17. > :13:22.late and another for got to turn up for a meeting. The head says he was
:13:23. > :13:28.told that improving teaching was not his business and it was confidential
:13:29. > :13:32.to Ofsted. They say the quality of feedback was substandard and
:13:33. > :13:37.inconsistent. Several teachers were left in tears and the school accused
:13:38. > :13:42.the inspectors of fabricating evidence. Parents around here think
:13:43. > :13:50.Battersea Park school is a good school and what is Ofsted? It is
:13:51. > :13:57.just a group of people who decide on the basis of one report. That is not
:13:58. > :14:01.right. But Ofsted has huge power and responsibility and its reports can
:14:02. > :14:06.sometimes lead to the closure of a school. It says it takes reports
:14:07. > :14:12.thoroughly and rigourously and says any suggesting is the findings were
:14:13. > :14:17.not based on evidence is totally unfounded. Individual inspectors
:14:18. > :14:26.declined to comment. Somerfield this can affect trust. The problem is
:14:27. > :14:31.inspections are very high issues. They have to be conducted with the
:14:32. > :14:36.utmost integrity and they need 100% credibility with teachers and
:14:37. > :14:40.parents and the wider community. There is no doubt Battersea Park is
:14:41. > :14:47.struggling. It looks set to be reopened as an Academy, but it has
:14:48. > :14:54.even considered legal action. It has raised a question. Who inspects the
:14:55. > :14:57.inspectors? London firefighters have taken part in a large`scale training
:14:58. > :15:01.exercise aimed at improving how the emergency services deal with tower
:15:02. > :15:04.block fires. Some of the procedures being tested were brought in
:15:05. > :15:06.following the fatal fire in 2009 in which six people died, three of them
:15:07. > :15:09.children. Our special correspondent Kurt
:15:10. > :15:35.Barling reports. The six fatalities in 2009 changed
:15:36. > :15:43.the way the emergency services and landlords plan for high`rise fires.
:15:44. > :15:53.What we have done to our emergency services and housing services has
:15:54. > :15:55.really improved. We are making sure that the buildings are safe,
:15:56. > :15:59.residents know what to do in the event of fire, and that we can
:16:00. > :16:01.practice our response to fire sub tweakable respond as effectively as
:16:02. > :16:04.possible. When people are trapped, speedy
:16:05. > :16:08.access is critical. New guidance will make sure that the layout of
:16:09. > :16:16.buildings is clear to those fighting the fire. Quite often when
:16:17. > :16:20.firefighters get to the scene, speed is of the essence. But the trouble
:16:21. > :16:24.is they will find covers like this across doors which are not meant to
:16:25. > :16:32.be there, and add to the risk of people getting trapped. We can learn
:16:33. > :16:34.about command and control, give firefighters greater understanding
:16:35. > :16:39.of operational challenges of working in high`rise buildings, and it
:16:40. > :16:41.allows us to look at some of the conversations we can have with local
:16:42. > :16:49.authorities about security and forcing entry into buildings. Can I
:16:50. > :16:54.get you to go up now is tell them there is somebody on the 10th floor
:16:55. > :16:57.hanging out of a left`hand window. This realistic training exercise in
:16:58. > :17:02.Corbridge new procedures to make sure information from trapped
:17:03. > :17:13.tenants could be related from 999 to firefighters making a rescue. Since
:17:14. > :17:16.the fire black door house, increased communication between landlords and
:17:17. > :17:22.firefighters is hoping to keep residents safe. Of course, it is not
:17:23. > :17:24.until they test improvements and procedures that they know whether
:17:25. > :17:34.they work in practice. Stay with us. Still to come, Wendy
:17:35. > :17:42.has news of colder weather on the way. And the London Jazz Festival
:17:43. > :17:49.celebrates its 21st anniversary with a host of special commissions. It is
:17:50. > :17:59.celebrating its vitality and diversity from music to tap dance.
:18:00. > :18:03.It's become the one of the most successful donation campaigns in
:18:04. > :18:05.history. The Disasters Emergency Committee says the Philippines
:18:06. > :18:08.Typhoon Appeal is being helped by the British public's overwhelming
:18:09. > :18:12.generosity. In London this afternoon, a host of celebrities
:18:13. > :18:20.have been taking part in a telethon at the BT Tower to help raise more
:18:21. > :18:27.money. Sonja Jessup is there. They certainly have. It is starting
:18:28. > :18:32.to wind down. You can spot the odd celebrity, there's Laurence
:18:33. > :18:36.Llewelyn`Bowen. Lots of stars like Amanda Holden, Frank Skinner, nick
:18:37. > :18:43.frost, taking calls from the public wanting to donate money. The DC
:18:44. > :18:47.appeal has raised an incredible ?39 million in little more than a week,
:18:48. > :18:52.but it still wants more, and that is why tonight is so important. I spoke
:18:53. > :19:00.earlier to another celebrity taking calls, Jamie Oliver. I had the time
:19:01. > :19:05.to come down and help. It was the least I can do, along with hundreds
:19:06. > :19:08.of other celebrities. Hopefully between us we can shine a little
:19:09. > :19:12.more of a light onto this incredibly important appeal. So yes, I am
:19:13. > :19:17.taking phone calls and tweeting, very much based on social media. The
:19:18. > :19:22.news is hotting up now, so thank you.
:19:23. > :19:30.Another star who has been taking calls is Anna Leach from Downton
:19:31. > :19:33.Abbey. Thank you for joining us. Just the images, seeing the victims
:19:34. > :19:40.of this terrible disaster are just heart`wrenching, and seeing children
:19:41. > :19:43.left without their parents, families, people left without their
:19:44. > :19:45.homes. That is the main reason I'm here. A lot of people watching these
:19:46. > :19:50.devastating images from the Philippines, we are told as many as
:19:51. > :19:55.10,000 people could have died, they may wonder how their money could
:19:56. > :19:59.help. The government in the Philippines announced today that
:20:00. > :20:02.over 5 million homes have been completely destroyed or are
:20:03. > :20:06.uninhabitable, so the money that people raised today will go directly
:20:07. > :20:10.towards getting people the most basic needs, water, food and
:20:11. > :20:20.shelter, even simple tarpaulins to try to keep the reins off their
:20:21. > :20:26.heads. ?39 million raised in a week. The DES has said they are
:20:27. > :20:30.amazed by people's generosity. It is heart`warming to see how people have
:20:31. > :20:35.dug deep, especially as there are so many charities around, and children
:20:36. > :20:37.in need did so well as well. The fact that people have put their
:20:38. > :20:45.hands in their pockets again is fantastic. And what have people been
:20:46. > :20:49.saying to you on the phone is? People are happy that they get to
:20:50. > :20:53.speak to someone from Downton, which is nice, but many people are
:20:54. > :21:00.incredibly generous. The amount of money that people are donating goes
:21:01. > :21:05.?20 up to 250. More money is still needed. If you
:21:06. > :21:17.want to donate, the number should be on your screen.
:21:18. > :21:25.Incredible generosity, thank you. It's one of the capital's biggest
:21:26. > :21:28.music festivals. The annual London Jazz festival is celebrating its
:21:29. > :21:31.21st birthday this year. The festival takes the sound of jazz to
:21:32. > :21:35.both large established venues and smaller clubs and public spaces for
:21:36. > :21:36.ten days. Our entertainment correspondent Brenda Emmanus has
:21:37. > :21:48.more. It's going to be a footstomping
:21:49. > :21:54.evening on the South bank is to tap dancers from London and New York
:21:55. > :22:02.collaborate with jazz drummer and composer as part of the London Jazz
:22:03. > :22:06.Festival. Through bringing over fantastic dancers like these and
:22:07. > :22:10.great musicians like Michelle, the community is really growing a lot.
:22:11. > :22:15.It is really exciting. There is a lot going on. To be able to come to
:22:16. > :22:24.a foreign country and be able to share a craft that I have in blessed
:22:25. > :22:28.to receive from many of the artists who workarounds in the 30s and 40s
:22:29. > :22:33.is a true honour. Michelle's tap Project forms one of 21 special
:22:34. > :22:41.commissions celebrating the coming`of`age of the jazz festival.
:22:42. > :22:44.It gives people the opportunity to do something exciting and new, and
:22:45. > :22:47.it is part of the London scene throughout the year. It is a tribute
:22:48. > :23:03.to the musicians. Christine Tobin has been part of the
:23:04. > :23:09.London Jazz scene since the 1980s. The award`winning vocalist will be
:23:10. > :23:14.showcasing her forthcoming album of Leonard Cohen songs at the Purcell
:23:15. > :23:17.room is tomorrow. It is a huge attraction for the capital, so for
:23:18. > :23:23.me, it is exposure to people from all over the world. With over 280
:23:24. > :23:26.performances in 60 venues across the capital, audiences are taken on a
:23:27. > :23:31.journey that delves into the past, present and future of jazz. And as
:23:32. > :23:34.it celebrates its coming`of`age, the festival has not only put artists
:23:35. > :23:39.and audiences at the heart of the event, but aims to secure London's
:23:40. > :23:45.standing as a serious place for jazz lovers.
:23:46. > :23:51.The EF T London Jazz Festival runs until Sunday.
:23:52. > :23:59.It's that time of the evening to get a check on the weather. You have
:24:00. > :24:04.already hinted that it is going to get colder.
:24:05. > :24:10.Yes, it is turning a little wintry. It is going to turn overnight
:24:11. > :24:18.tonight towards something much colder. The colder air is not very
:24:19. > :24:21.far away now. But the moment, we're still just clinging on to the
