The mayor is criticised over having an airport in the Thames Estuary.

I do not think it is helpful that he uses this colourful language, but

that is a matter of style. I do not think it eliminates the debate to do

so. Boris Johnson demands that his idea

be taken seriously. Also, a coroner calls for a doctor

to be suspended following the death of a four`year`old girl. Her family

are told the tragedy could have been avoided.

She was a happy, playful girl, with a beautiful smile, bringing

happiness to us and everyone in her life.

If you think it is busy now, fast forward 12 years, how the West End

will cope with half a million more people every day.

And... You cannot be here. I took an oath.

We are live in Leicester Square with Keira Knightley for the premiere of

the political thriller Jack Ryan. Good evening, welcome. The mayor has

been accused of Folger abuse in his ongoing campaign for an airport in

the Thames Estuary. His so`called Boris Island idea is

not currently one of the options being considered by the

government's Airports Commission. Boris Johnson criticised the

decision, calling it a political fudge. Giving evidence to MPs, the

commission's chairman hit back. The man once an airport in the

estuary, but Howard Davies, who will advise the government on how to

expand airports, seems to favour Heathrow or Gatwick. Today, a

Transport for London report backed by the mayor criticised his plan as

lacking long`term vision. It said, some conclusions were incorrect.

This cannot be driven just by commercial interests and by getting

the cheapest solution to where you put three calamitous of tarmac. He

has got to step back and look at the city in a howl `` as a whole. If he

does not, that will bolster the credibility. Does he not have

credibility at the moment? He can bolster it by looking at the city as

a whole and taking into account the mayor's responsibilities. He needs

to talk to the men more. In the report, Howard Davies earmarked two

options at Heathrow for expansion, and included a second runway at

Gatwick. But a decision on whether to include the mayor's plan to build

an airport on the Isle of grain will be made by the autumn. Homes will be

built at Heathrow. Today, City Hall also questioned costings in the

interim report, especially over surface transport links. This report

says that the Davies Commission has put more weight on commercial

interests and not enough on public health. The mayor is becoming

increasingly critical of the Davies Commission. Today, he said it was a

political fudge to enable a future government to expand Heathrow. That

is at odds with what the Prime Minister told this programme last

week. What the country needs is to make these decisions in a proper

way, on a proper timescale, with all of the information, and Howard

Davies is making sure we have that information and we do it in the

proper way. This afternoon, he accused the mayor of Folger abuse.

Unfortunately, we have not produced the answer is the mayor wants us to

produce. We will proceed with our analysis in the way we have been

asked to do. I will attempt to rise above this abuse and press on with

the job. This will not be the last forceful exchange of views on

aviation between the mayor and Howard Davies. Any recommendation on

expansion will be made in 2015. You have been following this, is

this a last`ditch attempt by the mayor to get his plans of the

grand? Not last`ditch, this is not the last we have heard of it until

September, when the commission reports, but more the start of a

campaign from City Hall to question the credibility of the whole

commission. The men passionately believes in the estuary airport, he

has staked a lot of his reputation on it, he can see his legacy

disappearing, because the commission are not sold on the idea, hence the

tough language we have seen, the mayor says the commission is a

political fudge, Howard Davies says that the mayor is guilty of Folger

abuse. The pair have said they will meet to talk over the plans, I hope

to be a fly on the wall! A decision in September is likely to cause

problems for other political parties. Yes, the other parties are

against Heathrow expansion, if Howard Davies says the estuary

airport should not go ahead, the only options are expanding Heathrow

or Gatwick. Under both of those airports, keep marginal

constituencies, the parties will be going into the next election and

they will have to have a stated position upon airport expansion.

Plenty more ahead, including... The former Olympic venue that is now

with holes in the floor, organisers are forced to abandon a major

international net all tournament. A coroner has ruled that a senior

doctor should be suspended after the death of a four`year`old girl at

Kingston Hospital. Freya Wells died in November 2012 of septic shock.

The inquest heard a junior doctor concerned about the severity of the

child's condition was lost that when she suggested alternative treatment.

`` was laughed at. An avoidable death, that is how a

coroner described the way Freya Wells died. Admitted to Kingston

Hospital with breathing difficulties and vomiting, a senior doctor

prescribed oral antibiotics. A junior doctor questioned the

decision, saying she thought intravenous medication would be

better. During the inquest, it was alleged the senior doctor laughed at

the more junior doctor for that opinion and dismissed it. Just hours

later, she died. She was a happy, playful little girl with a beautiful

smile, bringing happiness to us and everyone in her life. She leaves a

loving extended family, whose lives have been shattered as a result of

the tragic death. We can now only take comfort from happy memories of

her short life. Today, the coroner said her death was shocking and

harrowing. And that failings in the provision of care were flagrant and

extreme. This is a tragic case involving a child, the death of

anyone is tragic, but when it involves a four`year`old in the

circumstances, it is absolutely tragic, and more so because we now

know it was avoidable. The coroner is also calling for the GMC to

suspend the senior doctor, pending an investigation. She hid her face

as she left court. The hospital trust says the senior doctor has not

worked here since the beginning of last year. The hospital also says

that since the death, it has made a number of changes to ensure that

concerned about a child's condition are dealt with properly. Freya was

an only child, her distraught mother is considering legal action against

the hospital. Police have arrested a 21`year`old

man on suspicion of being involved in the commission preparation and

instigation of terrorism offences. He was stopped on Sunday evening at

Stansted after a flight to the UK from Turkey, via Germany. He is

being held at a central London police station.

Police are searching for a burglary suspect caught on a camera that will

set up to film a family of foxes. Detectives released the image after

the crime, urged place in the early hours of the 12th of January, in

Southwark. The camera caught the man climbing over a garden fence and

making off across the garden. If you think you have a busy

commuter, brace itself for 2026. New figures suggest that in just over a

decade, an extra half a million people a day will travel into the

West End alone. The study was commissioned to look at what impact

Crossrail will have, and its findings have raised questions about

how some areas will cope. Oxford Street, already Europe's

biggest shopping street, but when the crossrail station serving

central London opens in 2018, it will get even more crowded, more

crowded than anyone imagined. The question is, can the area code?

Figures released today suggest that in 12 years there will be 195,000

more passengers a day than Crossrail forecast in 2004. All down to an

unprecedented population boom. The three stations could be handling 250

million people a year by the mid 20 20s, which compares to around 85

million at the moment. That increase in people will create huge

opportunities. Opportunities and headaches, it means the future

proofing extra capacity built into the stations will be used up much

more quickly, then there is the question of how to stop passengers

clogging up the streets when they emerge above ground. We may want to

change the way the streets are configured, there is talk of the

best writers in, `` pedestrianisation, all of these

ideas will be considered. It is really important we get this right.

Who will pay for this? TFL and private landowners will help out,

and the council has ruled out raising council tax. Instead, it has

renewed calls for the government to give back some of the money the

western phrases through business rate. At the moment, we collect ?1.8

billion of business rates, we receive `46 million. If we could

have a bit of that, we could invest in the infrastructure to make the

most of this opportunity for the West End. The Prime Minister was

prepared to help out last week, celebrating the build reaching its

halfway point. But with another report into how the West End will

have to adapt actually level due in the spring, the reality of carrying

so many more people into central London is hitting home.

Scotland Yard has admitted it failed to formally review a controversial

tactic that officers used when Mark Duggan was fatally shot in Tottenham

in 2011. The full source urged to review its use of a so`called hot

stop at the police watchdog. Just clarify what this is. It is a

preplanned operation, you can see it in this reconstruction, how armed

officers box in a suspect's vehicle and confront them, it is a dynamic

but injury situation. The IPCC recommended this controversial

tactic should be reviewed after the fatal shooting in north`west London

eight years ago of Azelle Rodney. And enquiry found there was no

lawful justification for his shooting. Six years later, in August

2011, in Tottenham, Mark Duggan was shot dead, again using this tactic.

He had a handgun and only recently a jury returned a verdict of unlawful

killing. What is the Met Police saying? They admit they got it

wrong, they should have formally reviewed the tactic, but they say

armed officers carry out hundreds of these stops a year, and only

discharge their weapon once or twice a year. The assistant commissioner

has been speaking to Panorama, the questions how armed officers should

intervene against armed criminals, if they intervene to early, they may

not get enough evidence, if it is too late, they may have a murder on

their hands. Some formal thinking should have

been done at the time, it was not, but we are constantly looking at the

tactic, and if anybody has a better idea, we are up for better ideas.

What powers of the police watchdog have, if any? The IPCC has a duty to

investigate after a fatal shooting, but they can only give advice, they

have no enforcement powers. They say they will now be asking questions of

the Met Police, why they did not carry out a review. The Met Police

says they are looking at alternative tactics. You can watch that story in

full on Panorama tonight's at 8.30pm on BBC One. Still to come... A thank

you to the troops, the boxing stars passing on their training tips to

soldiers at Woolwich Barracks. And also, the European premiere of Jack

Ryan: Shadow Recruit. I will be talking to some of its stars,

including Sir Kenneth Branagh and Keira Knightley.

Two international netball games which were due to have been played

at the Olympic Park have been called off after an endurance sport event

at the weekend caused damage to the floor at the Copper Box. Since the

Olympics it has now been adapted into a multisport arena. It is hoped

it will reopen by the end of the week. Adrian, what caused the

damage? It was an event called the Battle Of London, a kind of

glorified international circuit training, which involved a lot of

lifting weights. The flaw was not protected enough, and when some of

the weights crashed down, they'd led to holes being formed in the floor.

I am told they had to work till around two o'clock in the morning to

try to replace and repair some of the flooring. But they have not been

able to get that netball game between England and New Zealand on

tonight. They have had to move it to Crystal Palace and refund all of the

tickets. Those games will now have to be played in Crystal Palace

behind closed doors, and there is a huge amount of disappointment.

England against New Zealand in kilogram key is the equivalent of

England against Brazil, in football. A lot of disappointment

for the federation, and for people who had turned up tonight. We get an

opportunity once every couple of years to play New Zealand on home

soil, and for them not to play in front of a crowd, that is what we

try and do, to replicate World Championships events. It is a blow

for the girls not to have that feeling of playing in front of a

crowd. I am very disappointed, because I have paid my rail fares

and everything to come all this way. But I have been told I will get my

money back for the ticket. I am disappointed, I took the day off as

well. Tomorrow's is also called off as well. Do we know how long it will

take to repair a? They are not letting anybody in. I asked if I

could had a look, but they said no. There were a lot of holes, and they

are going to have to do quite a lot of work. But a statement from the

organisers of the Copper Box, they said they hoped to get the whole

thing up and running in 48 hours. There is a fencing event at the

weekend, and they have said to me to night that that will take place.

It is still only eight months since Fusilier Lee Rigby was murdered

outside Woolwich Barracks. Life for the soldiers who work there is

unlikely to ever return to how it was. But today, some of the Second

Battalion The Princess of Wales' Royal Regiment got to joining a work

out with some of London's top boxing stars, who wanted to say thank you

to the troops. With his regiment gearing up for a fight night on

Wednesday, the appearance of a couple of European boxing champions

in the gym was a bit of a treat. They are loving it. At first they

were a bit shy, which is quite surprising, because the boys are

normally quite outgoing. As soon as the boxers came in, they became

quite shy, like six`year`olds. I appreciate what these guys do. Come

next month, Derek cheers Aura will be rooted to the floor in his

orthodox stance, as he defends his European title. He brought along

some of the undercard boxers as well. These were the barracks where

Fusilier Lee Rigby was murdered outside last May, so their presence

today is especially welcome. How does sport help with camaraderie?

All sports are massive at team building. It is more of a bit of

light relief and enjoyment, to get them out of the Army mindset and get

them into relaxing more outside of the Army environment. Boxing in the

military dates back to the 19th century, and the Army takes great

pride when it comes to prowess inside the ring. They have won the

annual combined services boxing tournament for the last 30 years.

Boxing and the Army go hand`in`hand together. It takes a lot to step

into the ring, but it takes a lot to be a soldier. With the professionals

passing on their trade secrets, this regiment knows they could not have

better support in their corner. It has been called the future of money,

and in the capital, the bitcoin is growing in popularity. It is a

virtual currency which is not controlled by any government or bank

and is usually traded online. For the first time, bitcoin exchanges

have been made in Spitalfields market.

When you think of a trading floor, you will probably picture this. But

here in Spitalfields, it is a very different setup, and there is only

one thing for sale, bitcoin 's. Bitcoin is a virtual currency. It

only exists online and it is not controlled or regulated. Think of it

as cash for the internet. What price are you offering? Transactions look

straightforward, but how easy is it? Bitcoin has been built by geeks,

and it has still got its challenges for everyday people to use, but that

is what entrepreneurs are solving, one step at a time. Trading has

already been restricted in China and India. The Financial Conduct

Authority has warned there are risks involved. It is a volatile currency,

and if you lose your money, just a few years ago, bitcoin was

well`known for facilitating illegal trades online on black`market

websites, where people could buy things like drugs and guns. Today,

it is a much more legitimate practice, and here in London, you

can even buy a cup of coffee with it. Retail, artworks coffees, beers,

it is super popular, because it is perfect, you are not paying any fees

on the transaction, there is no exchange rate. And it is really

quick. From burger bars in Shoreditch to pubs in Hackney,

bitcoin payments are skip six say it is a bubble which is about to burst,

but enthusiasts believe it could change the way we do business in the

capital. Now, Sir Kenneth Branagh and Keira

Knightley are in Leicester Square tonight for the latest film based on

Tom Clancy's fictional spy Jack Ryan. We can join Brenda Emmanus, on

the red carpet. I do not know if you can hear me because it is very, very

busy down here in Leicester Square. I am joined by the stars of Jack

Ryan: Shadow Recruit, Sir Kenneth Branagh and Keira Knightley, looking

dashing, I must say. London is very excited, it has been really noisy,

hasn't it? It has been really noisy, hasn't it?! First of all, let me

tell you, he has a Russian accent, and she has an American one. Here is

a clip, then come back to me. You Americans like to think of

yourselves as direct, but perhaps you are just rude. Perhaps you are

just touchy. You involved me in this, and I can help. You were

spectacular. Are we allowed to misbehave?

So, Kenneth, this is your first foray into global espionage, I

gather. What made you want to direct and co`star? I read the script,

which I could not put down. It was a page turner. I could not stand the

thought of watching the actors doing it, I got a chance to do it myself,

with this very talented, beautiful girl, as well as Chris Pine, who is

also wonderful in his different way. We decided we could try and put as

much detail into it to make it a fun, entertaining movie. It was a

testosterone fuelled adventure, is that what made you think you could

not turn it down? No, I wanted to do something which was pure

entertainment and very Hollywood, and I thought, what better than a

Jack Ryan thriller? Obviously working with him and Chris Pine as

well. I do not believe everything I read, but I read that Kenneth had a

major influence on your career, is that correct? Well, I mean... ! Yes,

what can I say?! No, he did. I have always been a fan of Kenneth's work.

From when I was a child, and I saw much ado about nothing, which was

one of my favourite things. I had two videos of it, and they both

broke because I had watched it so mini times. I used to know it off by

heart. And you read all 13 books, I gather? We all did. We were just

trying to pull out all the detail we could, in the relationship between

the two of them, and they're backgrounds. There is a lot in terms

of recognition of things that can happen in couples, but aside from

being involved in espionage, which are human and real. Conflict and

chemistry? Exactly, and they do it beautifully. I am a huge fan of this

girl. It was a pleasure. And some of it was shot here in the capital? We

went to real Moscow and real New York, but we also went to real

pinewood and real Hackney. I could keep talking to you for ever, but

let me hand the film will be released on the 24th of January.

Correct! Lets see how this week 's weather is shaping up. We have got a

real mixed bag for this week. The Met Office has released a yellow

weather warning. That is already forming, the fog, across parts of

Essex and Sussex. In the second part of the night, the fog will really be

coming in, and it will get really quite widespread. With those clear

skies, all of the moisture will be affecting it. It will be a chilly

night as well. As you can see from the little clock, this is going to

continue through the rush`hour. So, it is a possibility that we will get

some travel disruption. It is going to be difficult driving conditions.

As we get to noon and around lunchtime, the fog will be melting

away, and it will be dry to end the day. It will be a chilly start to

the day. Then, as we progress through Tuesday night into

Wednesday, it is reverting to type. We will have this rain pushing in.

Nothing too heavy, however. Wednesday will be a damp day. A

little bit try on Thursday. Friday, some brightness. `` try. `` drier.

Thank you. In case you have just switched on, a reminder of the main

story ` Lord Rennard has been suspended from the Liberal Democrat

party after refusing to apologise over allegations of sexual

harassment. And that is it for now. I will be back with the latest for

you during the Telecom news. Until then, have a lovely evening. `` the
