:00:00. > :00:12.One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.

:00:13. > :00:14.Tonight on BBC London News. A warning that the spread of

:00:15. > :00:17.tuberculosis in the capital is reaching epidemic levels, as a

:00:18. > :00:22.strain of the disease becomes resistant to drugs. Unlike the rest

:00:23. > :00:27.of Western Europe, where TB rates have been declining, in the UK they

:00:28. > :00:30.have been increasing almost every year for the last 25 years.

:00:31. > :00:32.There are now calls for compulsory screening for new arrivals to the

:00:33. > :00:35.UK. Also tonight: Fines for thousands of

:00:36. > :00:43.motorists and cyclists. The Met reveals the results of its campaign

:00:44. > :00:48.to make London's roads safer. I'm here in Henley by the River Thames,

:00:49. > :00:52.after the river burst its banks. Although communities along the river

:00:53. > :00:55.are used to flooding, they say they haven't seen anything like this for

:00:56. > :00:58.over a decade. And as the BBC's Stargazing Live

:00:59. > :00:59.returns to our screens, we meet some of those leading the way in space

:01:00. > :01:13.exploration. Good evening and welcome to the

:01:14. > :01:16.programme. London could be on the cusp of a tuberculosis epidemic.

:01:17. > :01:19.That's the warning from health experts tackling a highly infectious

:01:20. > :01:24.form of the disease which has mutated, and is becoming resistant

:01:25. > :01:28.to medication. Around 3,500 Londoners were diagnosed with the

:01:29. > :01:31.disease in the last year. One leading doctor has called for

:01:32. > :01:40.migrants to be screened for TB before they are allowed into the

:01:41. > :01:48.country. Marc Ashdown has the story. For the past two months, 62`year`old

:01:49. > :01:52.Alex has been held in isolation at the University College Hospital. He

:01:53. > :01:58.has a highly infectious mutation of TB which is drug resistant and me,

:01:59. > :02:06.ultimately, prove fatal. It is a very nasty one. They say they have

:02:07. > :02:12.run out of drugs to treat me with. That's how bad it is. Alex has

:02:13. > :02:17.multidrug resistant tuberculosis, which is a disease of the lungs.

:02:18. > :02:20.Occasionally, we are unable to get rid of drug resistant TB from

:02:21. > :02:26.patients because the drugs just do not respond to `` because the

:02:27. > :02:30.bacteria just do not respond to the drugs we have available.

:02:31. > :02:35.In the past year, 3500 Londoners have been diagnosed with the

:02:36. > :02:39.disease. In boroughs like new and evening, infection rates are

:02:40. > :02:45.virtually identical to developing countries like Nigeria and Ghana. In

:02:46. > :02:50.London we are seeing the emergence of drug resistance across the board.

:02:51. > :02:55.One in ten cases are resistant to at least one of the drugs. In fact, the

:02:56. > :03:00.number of TB resistant cases is rising so rapidly, there is concern

:03:01. > :03:05.London's hospitals may soon be unable to cope. Back in the 1960s

:03:06. > :03:09.there were dozens of mobile screening units around London,

:03:10. > :03:15.trying to eradicate TB from our streets. Today this is the only one.

:03:16. > :03:20.It is a very, very busy service. Its green is a very, very busy service.

:03:21. > :03:24.Its greens 10,000 people a need for more. `` it screens. We are

:03:25. > :03:30.struggling to cope. The pathogen is winning. Scientists believe many

:03:31. > :03:37.cases come from abroad. One leading expert says if people were screened

:03:38. > :03:44.before they were allowed into the country, it would not be enough.

:03:45. > :03:49.Some people do not have symptoms but they are at risk of developing

:03:50. > :03:56.full`blown TB. One professor has devised a test that can detect the

:03:57. > :03:59.dormant TB. We asked the Department of Health why the government has

:04:00. > :04:09.failed to control the disease in London. They said:

:04:10. > :04:16.As infection rates rise, there are fears that unless efforts to tackle

:04:17. > :04:23.the disease are stepped up, our city will soon be facing an epidemic of

:04:24. > :04:30.drug resistant TB. How concerned should we be? The vast

:04:31. > :04:34.majority of cases of TB are treatable and curable, but you have

:04:35. > :04:38.to take some quite strong drugs, and once diagnosed, you have to take the

:04:39. > :04:42.full course. That's the problem here, vulnerable people don't always

:04:43. > :04:47.do that, and perhaps spread the disease as well. This new screening

:04:48. > :04:52.test is important in diagnosing latent TB. Many believe that those

:04:53. > :04:57.coming into the country should be screened. This government action in

:04:58. > :05:01.the spring will include some kind of government awareness campaign, to

:05:02. > :05:06.try to do stigmatise the idea of being screened. It is very simple,

:05:07. > :05:09.very effective and very important. The government has to positively

:05:10. > :05:12.engage with people coming into the country to head off what is a

:05:13. > :05:16.growing problem. Thank you. And the full report from Marc is

:05:17. > :05:19.coming up in just under an hour, on Inside Out London here on BBC One at

:05:20. > :05:28.7:30pm. Lots more to come, including...

:05:29. > :05:33.Transport for London says it wants to increase the trend to trash the

:05:34. > :05:39.congestion charge by 15%. I will have all the details and the

:05:40. > :05:42.reaction from motorists. Almost 14,000 fines have been given

:05:43. > :05:45.to both drivers and cyclists as part of a six`week police operation

:05:46. > :05:50.following a series of deaths on the capital's roads. The scheme was

:05:51. > :05:54.launched in November after six cyclists were killed in two weeks.

:05:55. > :05:58.Police say it's already improved safety and will now be extended. Our

:05:59. > :06:10.transport correspondent, Tom Edwards, has the details.

:06:11. > :06:16.Operation Safeway was the Mayor's response to six cycling deaths in a

:06:17. > :06:22.14 day period. It targeted all road users at one six Six Rd junctions to

:06:23. > :06:30.try to get them to bathe the law. `` 160 Six Rd junctions. The Met says

:06:31. > :06:36.it has changed people's behaviour. It hasn't changed my behaviour. Do

:06:37. > :06:42.you think it has changed some cyclists' saviour? May be the more

:06:43. > :06:50.reckless ones. At each junction, you see plenty of police around. You see

:06:51. > :07:00.them riding a lot more proper. Has it had an impact? It is too soon to

:07:01. > :07:06.tell. Offices at junctions gave out just over 13,800 fixed penalty

:07:07. > :07:11.notices. Of those, over 9700 word to motorists. Many were for using a

:07:12. > :07:18.phone while driving. Just over 4000 tickets were given out to cyclist

:07:19. > :07:25.'s. Of those, 1200 worth red lights. Part of the upper oration is to give

:07:26. > :07:31.cyclists safety advice on high viz jackets and helmets. `` part of the

:07:32. > :07:35.operation. We noticed changes in behaviour very quickly, and by week

:07:36. > :07:40.four we were not issuing as many fixed penalty notices as

:07:41. > :07:44.previously. Driving this morning, I came along the embankment and

:07:45. > :07:50.cyclists were wearing helmets and high visibility clothing. There have

:07:51. > :07:54.also been 200 arrests for offences like assault and dangerous driving.

:07:55. > :08:05.The operation will now be extended for a week, but the Met says you can

:08:06. > :08:08.expect to see similar in the future. The conversion of the Olympic

:08:09. > :08:11.Stadium into a new sports venue has moved a step closer. The

:08:12. > :08:14.construction firm Balfour Beatty has been awarded a ?154 million contract

:08:15. > :08:17.for the permanent conversion of the stadium. It'll be used for the 2015

:08:18. > :08:21.Rugby World Cup, before becoming the new home of West Ham United in 2016.

:08:22. > :08:26.The work is expected to create 400 jobs.

:08:27. > :08:29.There are plans to increase the congestion charge from ?10 to ?11.50

:08:30. > :08:33.Transport for London is consulting on the 15% rise, saying it would

:08:34. > :08:40.bring in millions of pounds a year, which could be reinvested in the

:08:41. > :08:43.capital's transport infrastructure. But critics argue it's just a

:08:44. > :08:46.money`making exercise. Katharine Carpenter's been looking at the

:08:47. > :08:55.proposals and joins us now from Central London. Last week it was

:08:56. > :08:59.train passengers who found out they were going to have to pay more for

:09:00. > :09:04.their fares. Today it was drivers, who were told they could be paying

:09:05. > :09:08.more to come into Central London. Transport for London says it needs

:09:09. > :09:12.to increase the congestion charge so it remains a deterrent for people

:09:13. > :09:16.driving in the capital, but others have dismissed this as a revenue

:09:17. > :09:23.raising exercise. Looking at the figures, the standard congestion

:09:24. > :09:29.charge is due to go up from ?10 to ?11.50. There would also be a ?1 50

:09:30. > :09:36.increase to ?10 50, and if you forget to pay on the day, there will

:09:37. > :09:42.be an increase to ?14. Transport for London says it hasn't put its prices

:09:43. > :09:47.up since 2011, and it says the ?84 million raised by this over the next

:09:48. > :09:50.few years will be ploughed into improving London's trance bought

:09:51. > :09:57.infrastructure, but drivers were not impressed today. It is outrageous.

:09:58. > :10:03.What do they do with the money they raise from it? The congestion

:10:04. > :10:10.charge, but there is still loads of congestion. Boris Johnson is taking

:10:11. > :10:13.the mix. It has come at the wrong time with the financial situation

:10:14. > :10:19.the way it is. People are struggling to pay their bills. We did want to

:10:20. > :10:24.put some of those points to Transport for London. Despite

:10:25. > :10:29.repeated requests, they wouldn't put anybody up for interview today. We

:10:30. > :10:32.heard from the head of the AA, who said that the congestion charge has

:10:33. > :10:36.nothing to do with congestion and everything to do with cash.

:10:37. > :10:40.Ultimately, the final decision on this will be up to Boris Johnson,

:10:41. > :10:46.when the consultation ends in the middle of March. A survivor of the

:10:47. > :10:51.77 London bombings is calling on other Muslim bombers to protect

:10:52. > :10:56.their children from the threat of online extremists. Sajda Mughal from

:10:57. > :11:01.Haringey was a passenger on one of the two trains attacked by

:11:02. > :11:05.terrorists in July 2005. She believes that educating mothers will

:11:06. > :11:10.help prevent similar tragedies in the future.

:11:11. > :11:16.Dozens of planned terrorist attacks have been thwarted, but some, like

:11:17. > :11:20.the London bombings in 2005, and more recently the murder of a

:11:21. > :11:26.British soldier, have got through. This woman survived the explosion on

:11:27. > :11:31.the Piccadilly line train in which 26 people were killed. Sajda Mughal

:11:32. > :11:35.is the author of a new report into radicalisation on the Internet. She

:11:36. > :11:40.believes mother like herself need to educate themselves on the dangers of

:11:41. > :11:44.online extremism. It could have been prevented, had some of the mothers

:11:45. > :11:47.of the bombers been guided or were assisted in terms of the knowledge

:11:48. > :11:55.and the dialogue they could have got involved in with their sons. Her

:11:56. > :11:59.research of 302 Muslim women in London found that 92% of them were

:12:00. > :12:04.unclear on what online radicalisation meant. Many were

:12:05. > :12:08.under `` 100% were unaware that their children could be radicalised

:12:09. > :12:13.on the Internet. The majority had no idea what the content of pictures on

:12:14. > :12:17.the Internet was. This expert on countering political violence

:12:18. > :12:23.believes it is important parents get involved. To be a suicide bomber,

:12:24. > :12:29.you have to be 100% certain. If you have 10% doubt, that will stop you

:12:30. > :12:32.from doing it. These mothers from Haringey are learning about

:12:33. > :12:36.computers. A six week training programme will start this month on

:12:37. > :12:45.how they can become guardians of the web. These videos do exist online.

:12:46. > :12:49.As opposed to trying to prevent children from looking at these

:12:50. > :12:54.videos, it is possible to get mothers to take this leading role

:12:55. > :12:58.within the family, and just engage with their children. The Internet is

:12:59. > :13:03.not the only tool used to radicalised and recruit the

:13:04. > :13:08.vulnerable. Prisons, universities, mosques and training camps, here and

:13:09. > :13:13.abroad, have played their part. This report is suggesting that parents,

:13:14. > :13:21.and in particular mothers, have an important role in safeguarding their

:13:22. > :13:26.children against extremism. Stilt again: Millwall a former

:13:51. > :13:54.south`west England has been facing the worst of the floods today, and

:13:55. > :13:59.people living along the Thames have also been badly hit by the rising

:14:00. > :14:02.waters this past week. Alex Bushill has spent the day in one Riverside

:14:03. > :14:06.community in Berkshire where they are used to dealing with the effects

:14:07. > :14:11.of flooding, he is on Henley`on`Thames, how is it

:14:12. > :14:14.looking? The rain keeps coming, and there is

:14:15. > :14:19.a little bit of service flooding which you might be able to hear if I

:14:20. > :14:21.splosh about. It is not as bad here as in other parts of the country

:14:22. > :14:26.which have been so battered by storms, but spare a thought for

:14:27. > :14:31.those upstream in the communities by the river who might be used to

:14:32. > :14:35.flooding, but one particular, I caught a lift to a part of the

:14:36. > :14:43.village which resembles more of a swamp.

:14:44. > :14:47.This is what the residents of war grave mean when they say cruise

:14:48. > :14:55.control, driving rain has left properties here deluged in four feet

:14:56. > :15:02.of water. Access is only by the most amphibious vehicles or a pair of

:15:03. > :15:05.trusty waders. The majority of the houses here are adapted to cope with

:15:06. > :15:09.these conditions, the houses are raised on stilts, but for those that

:15:10. > :15:14.are not, this has been a disaster. For the rest of the community, as

:15:15. > :15:19.adaptable as they are, they say it is as bad as anything they can

:15:20. > :15:21.member since 2003, and they are finding improvised ways of getting

:15:22. > :15:26.in and out. This should be a private plane with

:15:27. > :15:31.a concrete drive, not a canoe obstacle course. For these two,

:15:32. > :15:37.enough is enough. Just getting in and out, the currency by getting a

:15:38. > :15:40.little bit dangerous now, you feel like you will get swept over. The

:15:41. > :15:46.last couple of days, they have been coming down at night to get in and

:15:47. > :15:50.out. Not much fun in the dark. Most of the houses are OK inside. But

:15:51. > :15:55.forget 4x4 is, one by one the evidence are evacuating their

:15:56. > :15:59.homes. It is just a case of getting everyone in and out safely, moving

:16:00. > :16:04.the kids out now because they have school tomorrow. We will go to

:16:05. > :16:09.relatives nearby. Others are leaving because of medical needs, albeit

:16:10. > :16:14.reluctantly. I need my toe dressed every day, and I have to come out

:16:15. > :16:19.and stay out until I can get back. How worried are you about this? We

:16:20. > :16:23.are quite happy to be removed for days at a time, we have as much food

:16:24. > :16:31.as we need, and more importantly, I suppose, drinks! A little liquid

:16:32. > :16:34.Courage may be needed. This southern corner of Barger is doing the best

:16:35. > :16:40.it can, but for a community well used to flooding, this is proving a

:16:41. > :16:54.huge challenge, keeping their heads above water. `` Berkshire. I am

:16:55. > :16:59.afraid to say that we have got heavy rain forecast overnight and again

:19:33. > :19:35.Now, some sports news, Sara Orchard is here, breaking news in the last

:19:36. > :19:39.15 minutes. I am sorry to say it is not good

:19:40. > :19:45.news if you are an Arsenal England football fan. Anyone who was at the

:19:46. > :19:48.North London derby will remember that Theo Walcott was stretchered

:19:49. > :19:51.off the pitch after he jarred his knee. We have had confirmation from

:19:52. > :19:55.the Arsenal website that it is an anterior cruciate ligament injury,

:19:56. > :19:59.which means he will be out for six months, the best of the Premier

:20:00. > :20:03.League season, and more importantly for the wider fan base, that

:20:04. > :20:07.includes the World Cup in Brazil. Disappointing for him.

:20:08. > :20:11.I get elsewhere Millwall have a new manager.

:20:12. > :20:15.They have been without a manager since Boxing Day when Steve Lomas

:20:16. > :20:19.was sacked. Today they confirmed Ian Holloway will be the new manager, he

:20:20. > :20:23.has signed a two and a half year deal. He stepped down as Crystal

:20:24. > :20:27.Palace manager back in October. It had been confirmed that he will be

:20:28. > :20:32.taking charge of the team when they play Huddersfield Town on Saturday.

:20:33. > :20:36.Millwall is just one place above the Championship relegation zone.

:20:37. > :20:39.West Ham have made a statement about the manager.

:20:40. > :20:45.A lot going on today! We are going to pull on the heartstrings, because

:20:46. > :20:48.this was the picture of a very young fan who was very upset after the

:20:49. > :20:53.West Ham match when they lost 5`0 at the weekend at Nottingham Forest.

:20:54. > :20:57.More on him in a second, but because of the troubles that West Ham are

:20:58. > :21:02.in, the club issued a statement, calling a vote of confidence, saying

:21:03. > :21:04.they are backing Sam Allardyce in an open letter, saying they believe he

:21:05. > :21:09.has the ambition and desire to bring success to the club. These were the

:21:10. > :21:13.thoughts of a former striker. I am sure there will be people saying it

:21:14. > :21:16.is the kiss of death, the dreaded vote of confidence we have seen so

:21:17. > :21:22.many times over the years, but it is important the club backs him. You

:21:23. > :21:25.cannot get a vote of confidence and then lose the next three or four or

:21:26. > :21:30.five games on the trot. It was wrong to backing for the short`term, but

:21:31. > :21:34.it still comes back to what I keep saying, they must get results.

:21:35. > :21:39.There was a result for that little boy I mentioned, off the back of him

:21:40. > :21:43.becoming a bit of a star, he has been invited to join the board of

:21:44. > :21:48.directors at Upton Park for a match of his choosing, hopefully he is a

:21:49. > :21:52.little happier with that. It was not your average music lesson

:21:53. > :21:54.at the Highbury Grove School in North London today, some teenagers

:21:55. > :21:58.who have just started playing a musical instruments got the chance

:21:59. > :22:01.to play in an orchestra with some of the most talented musicians in the

:22:02. > :22:08.country. Sarah Harris went to hear the first performance.

:22:09. > :22:12.OK, see if you can follow the music as they play this through... He's

:22:13. > :22:16.used to conducting some of the most talented young musicians in the

:22:17. > :22:19.country, but today at Highbury Grove School in north London, he was

:22:20. > :22:28.introducing orchestra music to students who have only just started

:22:29. > :22:33.learning an instrument. He chose Katy Perry's Roar, one that most of

:22:34. > :22:39.the teenagers might already know. I like the Katy Perry song, I thought

:22:40. > :22:45.it was a strange choice, because it was pop, but the way they split it

:22:46. > :22:50.up into parts, like violin and cello, I think it was really good.

:22:51. > :22:54.Were you surprised at how good it sounded? I was very surprised,

:22:55. > :23:01.because the whole group came together and worked as a community.

:23:02. > :23:04.Each member of the National Youth Orchestra men told some of the

:23:05. > :23:09.students, taking them through the basics and getting them ready for a

:23:10. > :23:14.recorded performance. It is really rewarding, actually, because you can

:23:15. > :23:18.see that they really want to learn. They just need kind of the impetus

:23:19. > :23:23.from somebody who has got experience with it.

:23:24. > :23:26.Nearly 700 pupils at this school have tuition on a musical

:23:27. > :23:33.instrument, and there are benefits in class according to the teachers.

:23:34. > :23:36.The fact that they have to learn responsibility, they need to

:23:37. > :23:42.practice as part of a group, and if you have not done that, you let the

:23:43. > :23:49.others down. After taking tips from the best, the final performance was

:23:50. > :23:53.one the students could be proud of. Now, let's get a check on the

:23:54. > :23:58.weather with Wendy Hurrell, lots to talk about.

:23:59. > :24:05.Low`pressure system after low`pressure system, we are not out

:24:06. > :24:08.of the woods just yet, yet another weather warning for rain, heavy

:24:09. > :24:13.showers to come through tonight into tomorrow, and then more persistent

:24:14. > :24:16.heavy rain for Tuesday night into Wednesday. We will look at that in a

:24:17. > :24:21.minute. The radar picture shows the rain as it comes through in the

:24:22. > :24:24.showers that we have had. Grouped together in two bands that have been

:24:25. > :24:30.following the flow of the wind direction, as blustery

:24:31. > :24:36.south`westerly, gusting up to 40 mph and falling on saturated ground.

:24:37. > :24:40.This is the Floodline number. All the information you need is, of

:24:41. > :24:44.course, there, and there are still problems at there, as we heard from

:24:45. > :24:49.Alex earlier. There will be further heavy showers overnight, a rumble of

:24:50. > :24:53.thunder, intense downpours on and off through the night. There will be

:24:54. > :24:57.spells when it will be quieter with a bit of a clear sky, but

:24:58. > :25:00.temperatures not falling too far, seven or eight degrees, the wind

:25:01. > :25:04.keeping up, and a suggestion that any early hours there will be heavy

:25:05. > :25:08.showers around including the rush hour period as well. Go carefully on

:25:09. > :25:13.the roads, there will be a fair amount of spray around, I should

:25:14. > :25:16.think. The heaviest of the showers at first, becoming fewer and further

:25:17. > :25:20.between through the afternoon, and slowly you sense that the breeze is

:25:21. > :25:24.easing back as well, but during the showers the winds will be gusting

:25:25. > :25:28.once again. Temperatures on the mild side through this week, 9`11d

:25:29. > :25:31.throughout tomorrow afternoon, but we have got those showers coming

:25:32. > :25:36.through, and they are going to cause problems, possibly more localised

:25:37. > :25:40.flooding. As Will this, this is a problem, a weather front that should

:25:41. > :25:45.be sitting over the continent, but there is a chance that it will push

:25:46. > :25:48.up, another wave coming up on Wednesday into Thursday, persistent

:25:49. > :25:53.and heavy rain on those waves. We do need to watch those. While the

:25:54. > :25:56.outlook is looking quite hopeful, and by day they should be decent

:25:57. > :26:00.spells of sunshine, at night there is A Sting In The Tale if that

:26:01. > :26:04.weather system does pulse up, as we think it will. Wednesday night into

:26:05. > :26:10.Thursday, some rain around, it does start to calm down, and the breeze

:26:11. > :26:14.will be a little bit lighter. We should be drying out a bit as we go

:26:15. > :26:18.through the latter part of the week, also cooling off as well. We have

:26:19. > :26:23.got yet more rain to come, and we will keep you posted, of course.

:26:24. > :26:31.Now for the main news headlines: George Osborne has set out plans for

:26:32. > :26:34.another ?25 billion of spending cuts if the Conservatives win the next

:26:35. > :26:39.election. The Chancellor says that half the proposed savings would come

:26:40. > :26:42.from the welfare budget. Jimmy Savile's victims are calling

:26:43. > :26:47.for a single inquiry into how he managed to evade justice. They claim

:26:48. > :26:51.the current multiple investigations will not answer the key questions

:26:52. > :26:55.about how Savile operated. The Environment Agency is warning

:26:56. > :26:58.that people in Dorset and Oxfordshire should remain prepared

:26:59. > :27:02.for significant flooding and more flooding is expected on the Somerset

:27:03. > :27:06.Levels. And London could be on the cusp of a

:27:07. > :27:09.tuberculosis epidemic, that is the warning from health experts tackling

:27:10. > :27:14.highly infectious form of the disease which has mutated and is

:27:15. > :27:17.becoming resistant to medication. That is it, I will be back later

:27:18. > :27:21.during the ten o'clock news, but from everyone on the team, whatever

:27:22. > :27:54.you are doing, have a lovely evening, bye`bye.

:27:55. > :28:14.TOM: # And if there's anybody left in here

:28:15. > :28:18.# That doesn't want to be out there... #
