:00:15. > :00:21.Tonight, on BBC London News. Tributes are paid from across the

:00:31. > :00:37.at the age of 52 of the. We look at Bob Crow's legacy for London. Also

:00:51. > :00:52.and kcereal. The only place in Britain you can get a degree in
:00:53. > :01:11.circus skills. Good evening. Tributes have been
:01:12. > :01:14.paid from across the political spectrum to Bob Crow, the leader of
:01:15. > :01:21.the RMT union who died suddenly this morning at the age of 52. The
:01:22. > :01:25.combative figure polarised opinion, some saw him as a passionate leader
:01:26. > :01:29.who fought effectively for his members' welfare and rights, others
:01:30. > :01:32.as a left`wing radical who too often tried to bring London to a halt
:01:33. > :01:36.through strikes on the Tube. Let's go live to our transport
:01:37. > :01:41.correspondent, Tom Edwards who is at the RMT headquarters in Euston. Tom.
:01:42. > :01:44.Yes. Flowers have been left here outside the door at the
:01:45. > :01:49.headquarters. These offices have been shut for most of the day. The
:01:50. > :01:57.news came through at about 10.00am. When it did, it was a huge shock.
:01:58. > :02:02.Outside the union headquarters the news hit hard. It's believed the
:02:03. > :02:07.RMT's general secretary, Bob Crow, died of a heart attack this morning.
:02:08. > :02:10.Bob's death leaves a massive gap in the lives of everyone who was
:02:11. > :02:14.fortunate enough to know him and represents a huge loss to the trade
:02:15. > :02:20.union and labour movement, both in this country and internationally.
:02:21. > :02:25.Specifically, for the RMT members Bob left with stun `` led with
:02:26. > :02:33.stunning success. At Covent Garden, Tube workers paid their respects. He
:02:34. > :02:38.did a lot for our staff and got us a lot of benefits and things, pay wise
:02:39. > :02:43.whatever. One of them things. This is what he was most well`known for.
:02:44. > :02:48.Bob Crow started on the Tube at the age of 16. An East Londoner, he rose
:02:49. > :02:53.quickly through the union ranks. We are staying out until we get the
:02:54. > :02:58.just deal these people deserve. The successful candidate was Bob Crow.
:02:59. > :03:03.By 2002 he had worked up to general secretary of the RMT. I'm proud and
:03:04. > :03:08.privileged to have fought side by side with Bob Crow. You hoe know he
:03:09. > :03:13.was respected by employers and loved by his members. Because he always
:03:14. > :03:21.did what he could to get the best possible deal Del for them. A very
:03:22. > :03:26.shrewd negotiator. Someone it will be frankly difficult to replace. Bob
:03:27. > :03:32.Crow used strikes to defend his member's pay and conditions. Most
:03:33. > :03:35.recently, his union walked out over ticket office closures. This is what
:03:36. > :03:39.passeners injuries made of the news. Sometimes he made me angry. Then
:03:40. > :03:42.other times you think, here is somebody who actually sort of is
:03:43. > :03:46.passionate about what they believe in. Very sad. I think he helped his
:03:47. > :03:50.workers and I think he was a very good union representative. He may
:03:51. > :03:54.have done it in ways that people didn't like, that was his way. I'm
:03:55. > :03:58.sorry Bob, there is a table to be sat round by you and your team. We
:03:59. > :04:05.can't do it while you put a gun to your head. You are putting a gun...
:04:06. > :04:09.A few weeks ago he clashed with the Mayor Boris Johnson, he was
:04:10. > :04:13.criticised by some media. Even if they disagreed with the strikes,
:04:14. > :04:21.transport bosses and Mayors respected him. What I admired was
:04:22. > :04:28.his defence of what he thought of as his members' views. His members'
:04:29. > :04:32.interests. Bob Crow fought and his redcressor, they had a fight to say
:04:33. > :04:35.you will not run the Tube by a breaking the backs of our people.
:04:36. > :04:39.They will have a decent wage and pension. I wish that had happened
:04:40. > :04:44.for all the working`class jobs that had been squeezed. Commentators say
:04:45. > :04:49.he was a shrewd operator. Although he was divisive. He knew just how to
:04:50. > :04:53.use the muscle the union had, particularly in a city where it
:04:54. > :04:57.depends so much on the Underground. He knew exactly how to use the
:04:58. > :05:00.threat of strikes in order to get endlessly improved terms and
:05:01. > :05:06.conditions. We are making it quite clear that the dispute have just
:05:07. > :05:11.seen in London will be like a vacar's tea party if they attempt...
:05:12. > :05:14.In a recent interview he was typically unapologetic about
:05:15. > :05:22.objecting to driveless Tube trains. Today even his opponents called him
:05:23. > :05:26."a fighter and a man of character." Joining me now is transport
:05:27. > :05:30.commentator, Christian Wolmar, who is seeking to be Labour's candidate
:05:31. > :05:34.for the next Mayoral elections. Welcome to you. Most people would
:05:35. > :05:39.know him as the face of Tube strikes in London. How did you see him and
:05:40. > :05:45.remember him I think he was a very canny negotiator. He represented his
:05:46. > :05:51.members' interests, as Boris Johnson said. And, he was much more than the
:05:52. > :05:56.kind of firebrand bully boy that is being presented. He is charming. He
:05:57. > :06:01.was, above all, very clever at m nip lating the media. Do you think he
:06:02. > :06:07.was perhaps too good a negotiator. He heard the endless strikes,
:06:08. > :06:12.holding Londoners to ransom Assad some would see it? There wasn't that
:06:13. > :06:17.many strikes. He galvanised his members so they supported a ballot
:06:18. > :06:21.for industrial action. There were very few strikes at the end of it.
:06:22. > :06:25.He was a good negotiator. If he sometimes did too well, that wasn't
:06:26. > :06:29.his fault. It was the fault of managers on the other side of the
:06:30. > :06:33.table too ready to give in to him. To those who don't know the figure
:06:34. > :06:36.or the name back crow, what is his legacy for London, do you think? I
:06:37. > :06:41.think he will be a hard act to follow. Basically, he was seen,
:06:42. > :06:46.interestingly enough, by Transport for London as relatively moderate.
:06:47. > :06:51.And, I think the problem will be that ` People will be surprised to
:06:52. > :06:55.hear that? People will be surprised to hear that. The unions mighting
:06:56. > :07:02.throw up someone who is more ready to go on strike. Bob could cut a
:07:03. > :07:04.deal. That was something said to me by someone inside Transport for
:07:05. > :07:10.London. That is a danger that perhaps the person who succeeds him
:07:11. > :07:16.would be more extreme? Absolutely. And, what ` what has to happen is
:07:17. > :07:19.that the managers at Transport for London must have the strength to
:07:20. > :07:22.stand up to that and not kind of allow themselves to be bullied. On
:07:23. > :07:27.the other hand, the union needs somebody like Bob who represents the
:07:28. > :07:31.members. Something that we heard a lot of today, we heard Tom Edwards
:07:32. > :07:34.mention it there, people didn't always agree with him, certainly,
:07:35. > :07:39.they did respect him? Everybody respected him. Indeed, everybody
:07:40. > :07:42.liked him. There are hypocritical right`wing commentators saying what
:07:43. > :07:45.aened on the other handerful chap he is. Most people who came across him
:07:46. > :07:49.thought he was a charming guy, a nice guy, and genuine. Let's not
:07:50. > :07:53.forget of course our thoughts are today with his family and friends.
:07:54. > :07:56.Christian Wolmar, thank you very much for joining us. Thank you.
:07:57. > :08:02.Absolutely. Plenty more ahead tonight. Including: In Europe to
:08:03. > :08:03.attract foreign investors. Is the Mayor fuelling the capital's
:08:04. > :08:16.property boom? Children in the capital are risking
:08:17. > :08:21.heart problems and strokes in later life by eating too much salt ha is
:08:22. > :08:25.what a study of around 300 youngsters in London has found.
:08:26. > :08:30.Researchers at Queen Mary University are saying children are eating an
:08:31. > :08:35.unhealthy amount of salt on a daily basis much comelinging from ``
:08:36. > :08:39.coming from breads and cereals. Ed held up as the most important meal
:08:40. > :08:44.of the day. Not one you would think of adding salt to. Researchers have
:08:45. > :08:49.found there is plenty already lurking in Sophie's rice puffs and
:08:50. > :08:54.toast. We try to limit the amount of salt in the food that we prepare
:08:55. > :08:58.yourselves. `` ourselves. When we are buying ready processed foods in,
:08:59. > :09:06.to discover they have more salt than we would put in our food if we made
:09:07. > :09:11.the food ourself`, comes as a a shock. What if after breakfast
:09:12. > :09:16.Sophie had a sandwich for lunch, two more pieces of bread then maybe
:09:17. > :09:20.sausages and beans for tea. About eight to nine grams a day, which is
:09:21. > :09:26.way above what a child of that age should be eating. That's six grams.
:09:27. > :09:29.That is the maximum amount anned a ument should `` adult should eat in
:09:30. > :09:39.the day. It was found that 70% ate more than
:09:40. > :09:44.the recommended amount. Teenagers were the worst offenders, consuming
:09:45. > :09:49.7.6 grams a day. The study found that a third of children salts came
:09:50. > :09:53.from bread, or breakfast cereals. If we can get children to not each so
:09:54. > :09:58.much salt, if you fewer of them will go on in later life to develop high
:09:59. > :10:03.blood pressure and won't need to take drugs or die from a stroke or
:10:04. > :10:06.heart attack unnecessarily. They are unnecessary causes of death. We can
:10:07. > :10:11.prevent them. How do we stop our children from getting so much salt?
:10:12. > :10:15.What do we feed them instead? The researchers say the only way to
:10:16. > :10:19.escape from this hidden salt is to avoid packaged foods, stop eating
:10:20. > :10:25.out, and prepare all meals from scratch using fresh, raw
:10:26. > :10:28.ingredients. Not an easy task. So the pressure is on the food
:10:29. > :10:32.companies to get rid of the salt. They say they are cutting the amount
:10:33. > :10:35.in many of their products, but for now it's up to the parents to
:10:36. > :10:43.monitor what goes into the lunchboxes. A policeman who
:10:44. > :10:46.assaulted a suspected shoplifter repeatedly punching her in the head,
:10:47. > :10:50.has been sentenced to a community order. The officer was caught on
:10:51. > :10:56.camera assaulting the woman at a store on Regent Street. Sonja Jessup
:10:57. > :11:00.joins us from Westminster Magistrates' Court. What other
:11:01. > :11:05.details do you have? Well, this all happened at the Uniqlo store on
:11:06. > :11:08.Regent Street. November 2012, PC James Kiddie had been called there
:11:09. > :11:15.after a security guard stopped a suspected shoplifter. A 30`year`old
:11:16. > :11:19.woman called Sarah Reed. Kidd told the court she snarled at him and
:11:20. > :11:25.bitten imhad on the finger and claimed she had the AIDS virus. The
:11:26. > :11:33.court was shown CCTV pictures. They show him talking to her, everything
:11:34. > :11:37.calm. He grabs her. He grabs her by the hair. Pulls her to the floor and
:11:38. > :11:49.punches her several time in the head. He leans on her neck until the
:11:50. > :11:53.backup arrives. He sentenced to 150 hour community order. What did the
:11:54. > :11:57.judge said? She accepted that Sarah Reed had been difficult and
:11:58. > :12:01.aggressive. The court was told she was a drug addict and later
:12:02. > :12:05.convicted of shoplifting. Judge Roscoe said she understood his
:12:06. > :12:17.reactions were: As a Kidd has been ordered to pay more
:12:18. > :12:26.than ?500 in costs. He has been suspended from the Met. Todayer. The
:12:27. > :12:32.Commissioner said, there is no place in the Met for officers who do not
:12:33. > :12:36.uphold our values. Many thanks. The brother of a man from Crawley,
:12:37. > :12:40.thought to be Britain's first suicide bomber, in Syria, has spoken
:12:41. > :12:45.exclusively to the BBC describing his brother as "a hero." Abdul
:12:46. > :12:48.Waheed Majid hasn't been seen since a lorry packed with explosives was
:12:49. > :12:52.driven into a Syrian jail last month. His brother says he made the
:12:53. > :13:00.ultimate sacrifice to save the Syrian people.
:13:01. > :13:07.His journey began in Crawley but it ended thousands of miles away when
:13:08. > :13:10.he got behind the wheel of this truck and became the first British
:13:11. > :13:16.person to carry out a suicide arming in Syria. Now his brother has spoken
:13:17. > :13:27.exclusively to the BBC. He said his family believe that Majeed was
:13:28. > :13:33.trying to release prisoners. My brother was not a terrorist but a
:13:34. > :13:37.hero. He made the ultimate sacrifice to save the Syrian people. This ``
:13:38. > :13:46.suicide attack happened over a month ago. Majeed was named a few days
:13:47. > :13:50.later. Then a few days later the Sussex MP took to the floor of the
:13:51. > :13:56.House of Commons asking what was being done to tackle radicalisation
:13:57. > :14:01.in places like Crawley. We need to go beyond the strategy so far to try
:14:02. > :14:06.and tackle extremism and we need to support communities better to
:14:07. > :14:13.identify where people may be at risk of radicalisation. So did a man with
:14:14. > :14:19.a steady job become radicalised? As a younger man, he had attended talks
:14:20. > :14:23.by a banned group. Its leader claimed Majeed regularly drove him
:14:24. > :14:28.to meetings in Crawley. Some of the men in that circle were later
:14:29. > :14:32.convicted in a massive MI5 and police operation which thwarted plot
:14:33. > :14:36.to blow up targets including Bluewater shopping centre in Kent.
:14:37. > :14:42.Majeed was never implicated in that plot. They say he had left the group
:14:43. > :14:48.behind but is actions in Syria have triggered alarm back home. There has
:14:49. > :14:56.been its reaction the brothers' `` the brother's claims in Crawley.
:14:57. > :15:01.Probably in his mind he was a hero and another people's it wasn't. His
:15:02. > :15:06.family say they are still trying to come to terms with his death. My
:15:07. > :15:15.brother was not a terrorist. He was a hero. He was not a threat to the
:15:16. > :15:27.British public and never has been. You can see more on that report on
:15:28. > :15:30.Newsnight tonight at 10.30. Now we heard Boris Johnson paying
:15:31. > :15:33.tribute to Bob Crow earlier. The Mayor was speaking to us in Cannes,
:15:34. > :15:35.where he's attending Europe's largest property fair to attract
:15:36. > :15:37.foreign investors. His opponents claim he's fuelling the capital's
:15:38. > :15:40.housing bubble. But Boris Johnson says he's struck a deal with
:15:41. > :15:45.developers which is good for Londoners. Our political editor, Tim
:15:46. > :15:48.Donovan, sent this report. It is where developers meet
:15:49. > :15:51.investors on the French Riviera and where some come because they are
:15:52. > :15:57.interested in buying a bit of London. The man accepted today that
:15:58. > :16:02.foreign buyers may have pushed prices to higher in some prime
:16:03. > :16:05.locations though not, he said, in the capital as a whole. And he
:16:06. > :16:10.brought news that about 60 developers had agreed not to market
:16:11. > :16:16.properties abroad first in future. They will stop any practice of
:16:17. > :16:21.marketing homes abroad in advance and they will suggest all such homes
:16:22. > :16:25.should be offered first or at least simultaneously with the home market.
:16:26. > :16:30.Critics said it was hardly more than a gesture and some property experts
:16:31. > :16:36.here wondered whether it might drive investment away. We need to be
:16:37. > :16:41.careful. The overseas market is an important part of London developers.
:16:42. > :16:45.Without that we might see issues with people coming forward. He came
:16:46. > :16:48.for less than a day but some have questioned whether he should come at
:16:49. > :16:53.all. His predecessor used to come here as well. He was partial, too,
:16:54. > :16:57.to a tall building. But according to his critics, he is a little too at
:16:58. > :17:04.home with developers and foreign investors. Protesters had criticised
:17:05. > :17:10.his courting foreign developers and property buyers. Don't sell our
:17:11. > :17:17.city. It is for Londoners, not foreign investors. But other London
:17:18. > :17:27.councils see this as a place to do business. Hounslow are proposing to
:17:28. > :17:32.redevelop and of the town centre. You are saying you have to come here
:17:33. > :17:36.to broker a deal with an English developer? That is how it works. You
:17:37. > :17:41.are going to get more developers here than you would read in your
:17:42. > :17:43.whole career. He said today you can't stick fingers up at
:17:44. > :17:47.international investors but needed to harmless `` harness the
:17:48. > :17:53.confidence to get more affordable homes long`term. Do you not worry
:17:54. > :17:57.that you are letting down a generation of Londoners? On the
:17:58. > :18:02.contrary. We are attracting the investment that is going to lengthen
:18:03. > :18:07.London's leader of the financial, commercial and cultural capital of
:18:08. > :18:11.the world, but also enable people who at the moment can't afford to
:18:12. > :18:18.live in London to be able to get the home that will help them to live
:18:19. > :18:20.near their place of work. Others may question it but he says
:18:21. > :18:28.international confidence in London has rarely been higher, and now we
:18:29. > :18:31.need to keep the money rolling in. Still to come tonight: After
:18:32. > :18:43.Charlton sack their manager, could Italian giants AC Milan be providing
:18:44. > :18:46.his replacement? The only place in Britain where you
:18:47. > :18:49.can earn a degree in circus has been officially recognised as a place for
:18:50. > :18:52.excellence by the government. The centre in Hoxton, which helped train
:18:53. > :18:55.some of the acrobats who took part in the Olympics' opening ceremony,
:18:56. > :19:01.wants to make circus performances a mainstream art form. Sophie
:19:02. > :19:05.Hutchinson has this report. For a quarter of a century,
:19:06. > :19:12.tightrope walkers and trapeze artists have been trained here in
:19:13. > :19:18.east London. But today the school known as Circus capital Micro space
:19:19. > :19:24.got new billing. Today is really exciting. Circus takes its rival
:19:25. > :19:29.place alongside opera, ballet, theatre, or those other forms that
:19:30. > :19:33.have national states. The Culture Secretary, not unfamiliar with life
:19:34. > :19:38.in the circus, albeit a political one, came to launch the
:19:39. > :19:42.organisation's new name. The school has trained more than 50,000
:19:43. > :19:49.students and even offers a degree in Circus arts. You have to know where
:19:50. > :19:55.all of the balancing points are. You can control what is going on in the
:19:56. > :20:00.rest of your body. What is the teaching I hear? The teaching has
:20:01. > :20:04.been absolutely crucial. But you must have to be inquiry flexible?
:20:05. > :20:15.You need to be really strong as well. This is what a normal day's
:20:16. > :20:19.study looks like air. You can see the great skill and concentration
:20:20. > :20:24.that is needed. That is partly why I decided not to go upon the trapeze
:20:25. > :20:31.but just to stand very still on this spot. But this is not just a bit of
:20:32. > :20:36.fun. Circus is now a billion`dollar business. The National Centre says
:20:37. > :20:39.it students have an almost 100% employment rate after graduation,
:20:40. > :20:51.and in this climate that is certainly a hard act to follow.
:20:52. > :20:53.Turning to football now, and, following this morning's news that
:20:54. > :20:56.Charlton sacked their manager, they already have a new one. Our sports
:20:57. > :20:58.reporter, Sara Orchard, is here to tell us more.
:20:59. > :21:05.Clearly a busy day. It came after just 8am confirmation that Charles
:21:06. > :21:08.and has sacked Chris Powell. He had been at the Valley since January,
:21:09. > :21:14.2011. He had led them to promotion from league one in 2012. But this
:21:15. > :21:17.season they are at the bottom of the championship and lots of rumours in
:21:18. > :21:25.recent weeks that he had fallen out with the new owner. Yes, following
:21:26. > :21:31.that news he had been sacked, just in the last few hours, confirmation
:21:32. > :21:35.that another Belgian is in charge. What do we know about the new
:21:36. > :21:42.manager? We understand he has been at the training ground today
:21:43. > :21:46.agreeing his contract. He does now the owner. He comes from AC Milan,
:21:47. > :21:52.where he has been working as a technical director there with their

:22:17. > :22:19.tonight. It is massive. They are away in the Champions League. It is
:22:20. > :22:24.the second leg against Bayern Munich. They are 2`0 down and Bayern
:22:25. > :22:30.Munich are a team averaging three goals a game this season. The
:22:31. > :22:36.massive task, but Arsene Wenger fancy their chances. At the moment
:22:37. > :22:42.they are the team that is of course full of confidence. They are doing
:22:43. > :22:49.well. But we had a great opportunity to do it. I am confident that
:22:50. > :23:05.mentally we will be ready to play at our best. To see if Arsenal can pull

:23:20. > :23:23.Miliband said I didn't always agree with him politically but I always
:23:24. > :23:29.respected the tireless commitment to fighting for the men and women of
:23:30. > :23:32.his union. Network Rail's Mark Hanna said he possessed a deep
:23:33. > :23:38.understanding of the rail industry and his contribution to it was
:23:39. > :23:42.significant. The CBI General Secretary said we have often
:23:43. > :23:46.disagree on employment relations but Bob Crow was a committed advocate
:23:47. > :23:51.for his members. I interviewed Bob Crow about ten days ago. He was
:23:52. > :23:57.typically abrasive and unapologetic about driverless tube trains. He
:23:58. > :24:06.said we're not having it. The world of London transport has lost a big
:24:07. > :24:07.player tonight. Time now for a check on the weather
:24:08. > :24:19.with Wendy. Time now for a check
:24:20. > :24:27.Hopefully! Well, if you can see me... We have got decent conditions
:24:28. > :24:32.to end today. Tomorrow there is going to be something a bit quicker
:24:33. > :24:35.end that. It will be sunnier soon as we go through the day tomorrow. This
:24:36. > :24:41.was the satellite picture from today. It showed the picture quite
:24:42. > :24:46.well. We were shrouded in cloud as we went through the first part of
:24:47. > :24:49.the day. Towards the afternoon, this huge hole was ripped in the middle
:24:50. > :24:54.of it. We had a bright end to the day. Tomorrow is going to be a
:24:55. > :24:59.repeat of that. We started this even in with those clear skies. For the
:25:00. > :25:02.first part of the night, the temperature will fall back quickly.
:25:03. > :25:09.If you are a bit further south tonight, you make hang on to a bit
:25:10. > :25:12.more cloud. `` you may hang on. It is into Essex and Bucks that we are
:25:13. > :25:18.likely to see clear skies through the night. Temperatures will be down
:25:19. > :25:22.to about three Celsius. Elsewhere, loads of about four or five. There
:25:23. > :25:27.could be frost in the most sheltered spots. Also some murky bits first
:25:28. > :25:34.thing, particularly over the Chilterns and the downs. Through the
:25:35. > :25:36.second part of the morning, and especially into the afternoon, we
:25:37. > :25:40.will once again see some sunshine breaking through. The wind will be
:25:41. > :25:44.light. It is coming in again, more easterly direction. That means
:25:45. > :25:48.tempters will be highest further west. The heat of the city is taking
:25:49. > :25:52.temperatures up to around 15 degrees west of London. You can see hints of
:25:53. > :25:56.cloud and some sea fog creeping in towards the end of the day. That is
:25:57. > :26:00.going to come through and maybe cause a bit of problem first thing
:26:01. > :26:04.on Thursday morning. It could cause on transport disruption because
:26:05. > :26:07.there will be some fog around. It looks like it is go to clear and
:26:08. > :26:15.give us some sunshine in the afternoon. `` it is going. The
:26:16. > :26:21.outlook is for age riot, settled spell to continue. The cloudy icon
:26:22. > :26:25.`` the cloudy icons are pessimistic. The same goes for the start of the
:26:26. > :26:29.weekend. Temperatures could be heading up a bit higher than that in
:26:30. > :26:32.a few places but they will be more of a breeze springing up.
:26:33. > :26:36.of Good to see you, when the! A recap
