Good evening. The family of a woman who died after giving birth to twins

:00:17.:00:21.

by caesarean has been awarded undisclosed damages at the High

:00:22.:00:24.

Court. 45`year`old Rosida Etwaree lost more than half her blood after

:00:25.:00:28.

the operation in 2010 at the Mayday Hospital, now known as Croydon

:00:29.:00:30.

University Hospital. Alice Bhandhukravi reports.

:00:31.:00:31.

Rosida Etwaree was admitted to Mayday Hospital for a planned

:00:32.:00:36.

Caesarean on the 23rd of June, 010. At the age of 45 and carrying twins,

:00:37.:00:40.

she was considered high risk, but her family had no idea what was to

:00:41.:00:47.

come. After the twin girls were born, it became clear to Rosida s

:00:48.:00:52.

husband that she was seriously ill. All of the doctors rushed, probably

:00:53.:00:55.

30 doctors, into the room, trying to help my wife. And I was just

:00:56.:01:03.

watching from outside. And they just drew the curtain. In fact, Rosida

:01:04.:01:06.

had suffered a major haemorrhage, losing more than half her body's

:01:07.:01:14.

volume of blood. She died later that evening. Qualified doctors did not

:01:15.:01:18.

take care of this patient. They did not meet a reasonable standard of

:01:19.:01:21.

care. They did not instigate policies that were already in place

:01:22.:01:27.

for this very reason. They failed in the most basic of medical care for

:01:28.:01:30.

Mrs Etwaree and that resulted in her death. And for a woman to die after

:01:31.:01:35.

giving birth in this country is just appalling, it is incomprehensible.

:01:36.:01:40.

It should not happen. Croydon Health Service's NHS Trust has admitted

:01:41.:01:45.

liability for Rosida's death. In a statement, it says...

:01:46.:01:57.

I don't wish anyone to go through what I have been through in the last

:01:58.:02:02.

three and a half years, raising children without their mum. It is

:02:03.:02:07.

the hardest. Today's ruling at the High Court concludes the civil case,

:02:08.:02:11.

but it has now been passed to the Crown Prosecution Service, which

:02:12.:02:13.

means that the Trust now potentially faces charges of corporate

:02:14.:02:14.

manslaughter. Andrew Lloyd Webber's latest West

:02:15.:02:25.

End show, Stephen Ward, is to close less than four months after it

:02:26.:02:29.

opened. Poor ticket sales have helped turn it into one of his

:02:30.:02:32.

biggest flops. Daniela Relph reports.

:02:33.:02:36.

Stephen Ward, Andrew Lloyd Webber's newest musical, opened in December

:02:37.:02:45.

and will close at the end of March. # You've never had it so good.

:02:46.:02:51.

The show is based around the Profumo affair of the 1960s, but not enough

:02:52.:02:54.

people came to see it, despite significant ticket discounts. The

:02:55.:02:59.

man who once dominated musical theatre is struggling to find a new

:03:00.:03:02.

hit in an increasingly competitive market. It is a similar story for

:03:03.:03:10.

his long`time songwriting partner Sir Tim Rice, whose show From Here

:03:11.:03:13.

To Eternity will also close next month. I do think this is the end of

:03:14.:03:21.

an era at the moment. With Tim Rice's From Here To Eternity closing

:03:22.:03:24.

the same night as this, the two giants who have dominated British

:03:25.:03:27.

musicals for over 40 years are leaving the stage, literally. In a

:03:28.:03:32.

statement, the producer said he was proud of the show and the strong

:03:33.:03:36.

reviews it had received. He said it was that he was sad to see it close

:03:37.:03:40.

in London and believed it would be seen by many audiences in the

:03:41.:03:46.

future. The Andrew Lloyd Webber back catalogue still sells. Phantom of

:03:47.:03:51.

the Opera remains one of the most successful musicals of all time as

:03:52.:03:53.

does Joseph. # I look handsome, I look smart

:03:54.:04:02.

But tastes appear to be changing. Opening this weekend, the comedy

:04:03.:04:05.

musical I Can't Sing, written by comedian Harry Hill, produced by

:04:06.:04:08.

Simon Cowell, and based on the X Factor. But Andrew Lloyd Webber s

:04:09.:04:12.

appetite for musical success shows no sign of waning. He's currently

:04:13.:04:16.

working on new songs for his next theatre project.

:04:17.:04:23.

It was the venue where Tom Daley fulfilled his dream of winning an

:04:24.:04:28.

Olympic medal. Now Londoners will be able to use the very same pool when

:04:29.:04:31.

the Aquatics Centre opens to the public this weekend. Here's our

:04:32.:04:33.

Sports News Correspondent, Adrian Warner.

:04:34.:04:38.

This is where Kieran and Lara usually train, a pool in Greenwich

:04:39.:04:47.

built in the 1920s. It's had its day, though, so this morning, they

:04:48.:04:51.

tumble`turned into a new world. Different colours, natural light. A

:04:52.:04:54.

renovated Aquatics Centre where Olympic history was made. You have

:04:55.:04:58.

got the Orbit out of the window and then there is a large seating area

:04:59.:05:02.

and the diving pool and you can just sort of imagine what it would have

:05:03.:05:06.

been like for the Olympic athletes. And the Olympians will often be

:05:07.:05:10.

close by. Tom Daley will be training regularly in the diving pool. There

:05:11.:05:15.

is also a dry diving area full of foam. And lots of space for a bit of

:05:16.:05:25.

simple fun. From Saturday, it will cost between ?3.50 and ?4.50 to swim

:05:26.:05:32.

here, the same as other local pools. Now, Olympic swimming pools usually

:05:33.:05:35.

lose money, but they have got a special deal in place here. They are

:05:36.:05:44.

going to subsidise the Aquatics Centre by renting at the nearby

:05:45.:05:47.

Copper Box Arena to other sports, and they hope that will also keep

:05:48.:05:52.

swimming prices low. London and the legacy has shown the world, in a

:05:53.:05:56.

couple of ways, how they can A) mix elite sport alongside community

:05:57.:05:59.

sport ` I have got Tom Daley diving behind me at the moment with

:06:00.:06:02.

schoolkids from London swimming in the other pool ` but also how we can

:06:03.:06:05.

cost subsidise and make sure we don't have white elephants on the

:06:06.:06:12.

Park. It is designed like a stingray fish and its goal is to reignite the

:06:13.:06:21.

aquatic instincts in all of us. A cyclist who found himself

:06:22.:06:23.

travelling along the M25 said he'd been directed there by an app on his

:06:24.:06:35.

phone. Police were alerted by alarmed drivers. The man, who was

:06:36.:06:44.

given ?50 fine, told police he was looking for a shorter route home.

:06:45.:06:47.

That's all from me, so I'll wish you a very good night and hand you over

:06:48.:06:50.

to Wendy, who's got the weather for you.

:06:51.:06:52.

Good evening. The middle part of this week, felt fine

:06:53.:06:53.

Good evening. The middle part of this week, felt weather but what the

:06:54.:06:55.

end, it will turn colder and there will be showers and longer part of

:06:56.:06:59.

rain but it is right for the most part out there. Overnight, but I

:07:00.:07:03.

discovered to be breaking up, leaving clear skies and light winds.

:07:04.:07:07.

Temperatures will fall by two three degrees which could lead to some

:07:08.:07:11.

frost across the Home Counties in sheltered spots. You will notice a

:07:12.:07:15.

chill the air first thing tomorrow but blue sky overhead and owning a

:07:16.:07:18.

small risk of showers as we go through the afternoon. The breeze

:07:19.:07:23.

picking up that on the mild side, ten or 11 Celsius. The outlook,

:07:24.:07:27.

overnight into Thursday there will be rain, clearing into sunshine and

:07:28.:07:34.

showers, Buster once. Then it is more difficult. Susan Powell is here

:07:35.:07:35.

to explain more international focus. Take a glimpse out of the window and

:07:36.:07:45.

the chances they will be starry skies where you are. The showers we

:07:46.:07:49.

have today are dying back to the coast. The breeze is also easing and

:07:50.:07:53.

reclaiming skies and light winds, it will be chilly overnight tonight.

:07:54.:07:57.

The wind will remain keen enough to hold the frost that bay and in the

:07:58.:08:02.

far north-west, bringing in some showers, if going down to the far

:08:03.:08:08.

southern coast. In rural areas, don't be surprised if there is

:08:09.:08:11.

patchy frost tomorrow. In Northern Ireland by the end of the night

:08:12.:08:16.

heavier and more organised showers arriving and they will push across

:08:17.:08:19.

into Scotland and the far north of England. Heavy and thundery rain

:08:20.:08:24.

possible for the morning rush hour of Northern Ireland and not looking

:08:25.:08:26.

too clever for Scotland or Northern England. The snow will be mostly

:08:27.:08:32.

over 400 metres but a mixture of rain, sleet and snow as low-down as

:08:33.:08:37.

200 metres for a few hours before 9am, but after that, they should

:08:38.:08:42.

tend to retreat into showers of rain. Further south, clear skies and
