:01:09. > :01:12.Good evening. A surgeon from south London,
:01:13. > :01:16.imprisoned in Syria, claims he's not only been tortured, but he's also
:01:17. > :01:21.been forced to inflict beatings on others. Dr Abbas Khan, from
:01:22. > :01:26.Streatham, had flown to the Middle East to help with the humanitarian
:01:27. > :01:29.crisis last year. He was arrested within days, but has never been
:01:30. > :01:32.charged with an offence. His family here say they're angry at the UK
:01:33. > :01:38.government's response, saying the Foreign Office have left Dr Khan "to
:01:39. > :01:51.the wolves". Divya Talwar has been looking into what's happened.
:01:52. > :01:57.Doctor Abbas Khan packing medical supplies just before going into
:01:58. > :02:02.Syria last year. He then went into the war`torn city of Aleppo to help
:02:03. > :02:05.civilians caught up in the conflict. He was arrested within hours by the
:02:06. > :02:11.Syrian regime. His family in Britain lost all contact with him to six
:02:12. > :02:15.months. Doctor Khan's mother left the South London family home to
:02:16. > :02:20.track down her son in Syria. She managed to find him in prison in
:02:21. > :02:31.Damascus, weighing just five stone, barely able to walk. When my mother
:02:32. > :02:34.first found him, he was very depressed. He said he had suicidal
:02:35. > :02:39.thoughts. He felt very lost and alone which I am sure he would. It
:02:40. > :02:44.is a real possibility, a real possibility he may harm himself. The
:02:45. > :02:48.BBC has seen copies of two letters Doctor Khan gave his mother to pass
:02:49. > :02:58.to William Hague. In the first, he describes his torture in custody:
:02:59. > :03:01.In his most recent letter can he describes his declining mental
:03:02. > :03:10.health full the family say they have made
:03:11. > :03:15.repeated requests to discuss the case directly with William Hague.
:03:16. > :03:20.But have yet to meet him. We are very disappointed in his reaction.
:03:21. > :03:24.If the Foreign Office and William Hague... They have abandoned him.
:03:25. > :03:40.In response, the Foreign Office said:
:03:41. > :03:46.Doctor Khan is still being held without charge, and the family are
:03:47. > :03:51.trying to stay hopeful he will still be able to return to his wife and
:03:52. > :03:56.young children. With me is Dr Afroze Khan, Dr Khan's
:03:57. > :04:00.brother. With the greatest respect, Dr Khan
:04:01. > :04:08.would have known the risks attached with going out to Syria. He is
:04:09. > :04:12.accused of entering the country without a visa.
:04:13. > :04:19.The Syrian government isn't giving any visas into the areas which
:04:20. > :04:25.require medical help. He decided to go anywhere.
:04:26. > :04:30.He is a doctor. He was on the border regions treating people. He was told
:04:31. > :04:37.with news coming across there was a shortage of doctors. Did he have
:04:38. > :04:42.your support when he went, without a visa? I did not know at the time. If
:04:43. > :04:47.I was in his position and I had the skills available to help people who
:04:48. > :04:51.are just across the border, then I would think the same, I can do a
:04:52. > :04:57.small procedure and save someone's life. That is the thinking we had ``
:04:58. > :05:03.which would have gone through his head. We have heard the dangers he
:05:04. > :05:09.is in perhaps because of depression. How great is that risks
:05:10. > :05:13.to his life? A great risk. He has been in detention for over 12
:05:14. > :05:17.months. No charges have been levelled against him. He does not
:05:18. > :05:22.know when he will be released. He has told us in letters and through
:05:23. > :05:28.communication with my mother when she has met him that he has had
:05:29. > :05:31.suicidal thoughts. There is a real possibility he may harm himself. You
:05:32. > :05:35.are critical of the British government who have cut off
:05:36. > :05:41.diplomatic ties with Syria. What do you expect them to do?
:05:42. > :05:45.I know there is no direct diplomatic relations with the Syrian
:05:46. > :05:49.government. But other governments like the Germans, Italians and
:05:50. > :05:53.French, have had better dozens released very quickly, and have
:05:54. > :05:58.expedited that released through diplomatic pressure at the highest
:05:59. > :06:04.level. The British government is using a piecemeal and lethargic
:06:05. > :06:10.approach to my brother's case. Which is why he is still there.
:06:11. > :06:12.Stay with us this evening, as there's plenty more to come,
:06:13. > :06:16.including: Planning permission denied.
:06:17. > :06:19.A London academy has failed in its bid to build a boarding school in
:06:20. > :06:27.the South Downs for deprived pupils from the capital.
:06:28. > :06:34.It's 25 years since the Clapham rail crash which left 35 people dead, and
:06:35. > :06:37.hundreds injured. It happened during the morning rush hour when a
:06:38. > :06:40.commuter train ploughed into the back of another. Today, survivors,
:06:41. > :06:45.and those who'd lost loved ones, came together for a memorial service
:06:46. > :06:49.to pay tribute to those who died. Sonja Jessup's report starts with a
:06:50. > :06:57.reminder of how news of the crash was broadcast on the BBC.
:06:58. > :07:02.Just after 8am this morning, as the rush hour in London was at its peak,
:07:03. > :07:07.two commuter trains carrying more than 1000 passengers collided. 36
:07:08. > :07:13.people are now known... All hell was let loose. It was like
:07:14. > :07:17.being in the washing machine, being spun round and around. Lee Middleton
:07:18. > :07:22.was in the front courage of the train which ploughed into the back
:07:23. > :07:27.of the 7:18am to Waterloo. The people sitting behind him and in
:07:28. > :07:31.front of him were killed. I was pinned to the bottom of the carriage
:07:32. > :07:36.with a big iron bar which came across and pinned me down. I
:07:37. > :07:41.thought, it's curtains now. He was pulled from the wreckage by fire
:07:42. > :07:46.fighters. 35 others died. So long as we live, they too shall live. Today,
:07:47. > :07:51.survivors and families who lost loved ones gathered to remember
:07:52. > :07:55.them. 25 years have passed, but for many the anniversary is still
:07:56. > :08:01.painful. Sometimes, it is helpful, sometimes
:08:02. > :08:08.it is not. We thought we would do the big one. Sorry. Nicola lost her
:08:09. > :08:13.uncle. I heard there was a train crash. As I found and spoke to my
:08:14. > :08:16.dad, he said Ray was on it and we were waiting to hear. It took two
:08:17. > :08:22.days for us to find out they had found him and he was dead. It was an
:08:23. > :08:28.eerie silence in the scene. People were trapped between
:08:29. > :08:32.carriages, seating, penned in. Passenger Marilynne Robinson was in
:08:33. > :08:36.such shock, she got out of the train and went to work. It was only later
:08:37. > :08:41.when a policeman told what had happened, that it finally sank in.
:08:42. > :08:47.He walked up to me and said I looked dishevelled. I said I needed a
:08:48. > :08:54.copy, I had been in a train crash. He said the one where the people
:08:55. > :08:58.died. I collapsed. I couldn't walk. The official accident report found
:08:59. > :09:04.faulty wiring was to blame, a rail worker had one day off in 13 weeks.
:09:05. > :09:09.93 recommendations were made, including a limit on working hours.
:09:10. > :09:15.An awful lot has changed since that tragedy, with the signalling has
:09:16. > :09:20.done, the training of staff. It is now the safest railway in
:09:21. > :09:26.Europe. By any measure. We are not complacent, there is more we still
:09:27. > :09:27.want to do. So many here, today was not about blame, but remembering
:09:28. > :09:42.those they had lost. The clap and well crashed 25 years

:09:46. > :09:48.Two men have appeared in court, after heroin worth ?40 million was
:09:49. > :09:51.found in a Jaguar, in Romford. Detectives from the National Crime
:09:52. > :09:55.Agency say nearly 200 kilograms of the drug was hidden inside the car's

:09:58. > :10:00.Bradford, and 34`year`old Israr Khan from Luton, have been charged with
:10:01. > :10:05.conspiracy to supply heroin. The average London salary fell by
:10:06. > :10:09.more than 2% last year, to ?41,500. While salaries in the country as a
:10:10. > :10:11.whole rose by 0.5%. But the figures from the Office of National
:10:12. > :10:15.Statistics show Londoners are still out`earning the rest of England. The
:10:16. > :10:21.average wage across the country is ?27,000.
:10:22. > :10:25.Several London boroughs have the best performing primary schools in
:10:26. > :10:28.the country, according to the latest exam results. The performance is
:10:29. > :10:31.measured on new literacy and numeracy targets set by the
:10:32. > :10:33.government. Over 60% of ten and 11`year`olds achieved average or

:10:35. > :10:46.Forest and Barking and Dagenham. Many parents find it difficult to
:10:47. > :10:49.get childcare in London because of the huge expense involved. The
:10:50. > :10:53.result: We have fewer working mothers in the capital than anywhere
:10:54. > :10:56.else in the country. So, to help create more spaces for children at
:10:57. > :10:59.nursery, which could help with childcare, every London borough is
:11:00. > :11:06.being given ?250,000. But will that be enough to make a difference?

:11:30. > :11:34.childcare week. But, at the moment, that doesn't always help parents.
:11:35. > :11:40.Half of London childcare places are in schools which mean they are often
:11:41. > :11:45.only open 9am to 3pm. If you work, those hours just aren't long enough.
:11:46. > :11:50.The new funding from the Department for Education is designed to help.
:11:51. > :11:56.We want more to open from 8am until 6pm so parents can pay for extra
:11:57. > :11:59.hours or take their 15 hours free in more convenient time slots, maybe
:12:00. > :12:04.over three days so it can be combined with a part`time job. It
:12:05. > :12:12.will help because I am a working mum. 9am to 5pm. It makes it highly
:12:13. > :12:18.to pick up the kids later. It is about time, to invest in education.
:12:19. > :12:25.Now I have to finish work at 2pm to pick them up. If they finish at 6pm,
:12:26. > :12:31.I can finish at 5pm. That would be brilliant, I love the idea. It is
:12:32. > :12:36.however only a one off amount of ?8 million. It won't replace the
:12:37. > :12:41.funding which has been lost since 2010 in cuts to the local authority.
:12:42. > :12:45.In London, families have some of the highest childcare costs in the
:12:46. > :12:48.world. Compared to elsewhere in the UK, many families don't have
:12:49. > :12:55.extended families because they have moved from within the UK `` UK or
:12:56. > :13:03.overseas. It sounds like a drop in the adoption `` ocean. It is a
:13:04. > :13:07.recognition of the problem. Women want to be able to work but can't
:13:08. > :13:13.find the child care they need. It is a crucial stumbling block for the
:13:14. > :13:17.London economy. The government is changing free childcare next year to
:13:18. > :13:22.incorporate even more to`year`olds from low income families. While
:13:23. > :13:25.critics welcomed the funding, they say London's problems with nursery

:13:53. > :13:56.now. This isn't just a set`back for one school, this is a set`back for
:13:57. > :14:00.the government? That is right, a big setback for a
:14:01. > :14:04.very big scheme by the government. They are offering to invest in any
:14:05. > :14:07.solid business plan that is school comes up with that can provide the
:14:08. > :14:13.kind of education children from deprived that grounds can only dream

:14:27. > :14:30.enterprise with an additional ?70 million from the Department of
:14:31. > :14:35.education. They would take 600 pupils there every week and back at

:14:40. > :14:42.concerns over the impact on the local environment. Planning officers
:14:43. > :14:48.said there was a fine balance between that and the improvements to
:14:49. > :14:51.buildings already on site, and opportunity for a brilliant
:14:52. > :14:56.education for those pupils. There have been other concerns. We have
:14:57. > :14:59.reported on a letter written by MP Margaret Hodge claiming the
:15:00. > :15:03.government hadn't asked enough questions about the Academy
:15:04. > :15:06.proposals. She wrote to the National audit office which looked at the
:15:07. > :15:12.proposal and discovered they haven't looked at the long`term running
:15:13. > :15:17.costs of the Academy. This is what the executive head of the Academy
:15:18. > :15:21.told us at the time. We have been working hard with the
:15:22. > :15:28.Department for months now, we were asked to look at our figures. We
:15:29. > :15:32.have done it time and again. We feel we have a seven year projection
:15:33. > :15:36.which is really strong. A comment earlier this year, what
:15:37. > :15:41.has the reaction been from school and government today? Michael Gove
:15:42. > :15:46.publicly supported this proposal and even visited the school in Lambeth
:15:47. > :15:49.and met some of the pupils who would benefit. Even wrote to the planning
:15:50. > :15:55.officers giving support to the scheme. A bizarre one sentence
:15:56. > :16:01.statement from the Department of education saying, we continue to
:16:02. > :16:04.support this initiative which would provide a unique educational
:16:05. > :16:07.opportunity for inner`city children. The Academy said it remains their
:16:08. > :16:10.firm intention to proceed with the project, but considering all the
:16:11. > :16:21.options available. There is more to come, including, we
:16:22. > :16:26.meet Matilda, she is full of water, barley and yeast. She is rather hot
:16:27. > :16:35.and is the latest addition to London's distillery scene. It's the
:16:36. > :16:43.first night of The Wind in the Willows. I'm in it, and I'll tell
:16:44. > :16:48.you all about it in a bit. They're the only one of London's top`flight
:16:49. > :16:52.teams never to have won a rugby union's Premiership, but new owners
:16:53. > :16:55.took charge of London Irish today saying they hope to turn the club
:16:56. > :16:59.into one of the most successful in Europe. Their arrival was marked by
:17:00. > :17:08.the signing of a leading player and talk of a possible move to a new
:17:09. > :17:13.stadium. The team in emerald green where Connor oh Shah once ran in the
:17:14. > :17:18.tries and Clive Woodward took some of his first steps in coaching. This
:17:19. > :17:25.is the spiritual home of London Irish. # Today, is all about trying
:17:26. > :17:30.to build a brighter future rather than looking back at the past. We
:17:31. > :17:34.are passionate London Irish supporters. We are making this
:17:35. > :17:38.investment on the basis of a strong business case. These men lead the
:17:39. > :17:42.consortium which now owns London Irish. They have already made their
:17:43. > :17:49.presence felt today, much to the delight of the Director of Rugby
:17:50. > :17:57.Brian, Smith with the signing of a World Cup winner. He is a big man,
:17:58. > :18:00.he can play tighthead and lose head. It's very significant day. We are
:18:01. > :18:08.delighted and excited about the future. Heading the consortium is
:18:09. > :18:14.Mick Cossan Chairman of the company that has sponsor London Irish for
:18:15. > :18:19.the last three years. We want to bring the club back to the top of
:18:20. > :18:23.the rugby world and take the branding globally around the world.
:18:24. > :18:28.That's what London Irish will be to us. Is it just a coincidence this
:18:29. > :18:33.takeover happened a week after Brentford got planning permission
:18:34. > :18:40.for their new stadium. Will you have talks about them about a possible
:18:41. > :18:49.ground share? I think everyone is allegedly speaking to Brentford. We
:18:50. > :18:53.are contracted to the stadium to 2 2020`2025 season. With all the
:18:54. > :18:58.support we have, the people around us, the people that we want to bring
:18:59. > :19:05.with us on this, it will be a fabulous journey. Big plans and bold
:19:06. > :19:11.ambitions to bring the team nicknamed the exiles back in from
:19:12. > :19:15.the cold. Gin has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity recently
:19:16. > :19:23.partly helped by the change in the law which has allowed London 's
:19:24. > :19:32.micro distillers to supply pubs an bars across the capital. A company
:19:33. > :19:36.in Battersea has decided to bring another spirit back to the capital,
:19:37. > :19:40.whiskey. It hasn't been produced here for more than 100 years, well,
:19:41. > :19:46.that was the case until this morning. At 7.00 am this still
:19:47. > :19:50.produced London's first drop of whiskey in more than a century. We
:19:51. > :19:57.are looking for a little bit of fruitiness. We want to see the
:19:58. > :20:02.potent stuff subsiding and clean out. We are looking for the malt, a
:20:03. > :20:07.little bit of chocolate, orange. This is the only distillery in the
:20:08. > :20:10.capital to be awarded a license to make spirits, unlike the
:20:11. > :20:16.manufacturer of gin, which involves adding flavour to alcohol, whiskey
:20:17. > :20:21.has to be made from scratch. This is mill barley, we feed it in, the
:20:22. > :20:25.barley drops in while we feed in hot water. The hot water extracts the
:20:26. > :20:33.sugars from the barley. We run the barley hot water mixture over to our
:20:34. > :20:40.fermenters. We add yeast. We transfer from there to Matilda our
:20:41. > :20:46.whis ski still and we end up with the spirit. Has enjoyed a recent
:20:47. > :20:50.surge in the number of micro`distillers. The question is,
:20:51. > :20:55.how good are the products? I would say the quality which we are getting
:20:56. > :20:59.from the small distillers these days is extremely high. The people who
:21:00. > :21:03.are setting them up have done their research. They have studied and read
:21:04. > :21:06.the books, asked experience distillers what to do. The knowledge
:21:07. > :21:09.of making great spirits is out there. Today's little moment of
:21:10. > :21:14.excitement was just the beginning of a waiting game. This has to age in a
:21:15. > :21:19.barrel where it will get its golden colour, by the way. It will be
:21:20. > :21:29.Christmas 2016 before anyone gets to taste it. What a year it has been
:21:30. > :21:34.for the man who became famous for playing Blackadder's dogsbody,

:21:48. > :21:58.him want to do it? It's a production of The Wind in the Willows. Here
:21:59. > :22:02.comes Rattie. Rattie and friend in the much`loved production of The
:22:03. > :22:08.Wind in the Willows. This time out of its usual home and onto the

:22:19. > :22:24.have had personal relationship with, that you have much loved? I won an
:22:25. > :22:28.award from the ducks ditty that comes from The Wind in the Willows,
:22:29. > :22:37.I was 10. I had read the book by then. When I left drama school it

:22:43. > :22:47.keeps coming back to me. Long successful television career has
:22:48. > :22:52.meant the role of narrator is the first time for Tony treading the
:22:53. > :22:57.boards for 16 years. I was surrounded by theatre. My parents
:22:58. > :23:02.and my grandparents generation were terribly influenced, not just by
:23:03. > :23:11.straight theatre, but by music hall. There wasn't a great divide in those

:23:39. > :23:42.I was working with. Nobody knew who Stephen Fry or the rest of them were
