:00:14. > :00:19.Good evening. Three former dmployees of the security group G4S are to

:00:20. > :00:22.face manslaughter charges over the death of a man whilst he was being

:00:23. > :00:25.deported from Britain. Jimmx Mubenga, who was 46, died

:00:26. > :00:31.three`and`a`half years ago onboard a plane at Heathrow. An inquest found

:00:32. > :00:39.he had been unlawfully killdd after being restrained. Kurt Barlhng

:00:40. > :00:41.reports. Jimmy Mubenga died of cardio respiratory collapse, where

:00:42. > :00:44.the heart stops beating and a person stops breathing, whilst being

:00:45. > :00:52.restrained onboard a return flight to his country of origin, Angola, in

:00:53. > :00:57.October 2010. Three days after the tragedy, members of Parliamdnt

:00:58. > :00:59.called for an enquiry. But by July 2012, the Crown Prosecution Service

:01:00. > :01:05.decided there was insufficidnt evidence to prosecute the sdcurity

:01:06. > :01:09.guards who had restrained hhm. Yet, almost a year to the day later, in

:01:10. > :01:17.July 2013, an inquest jury found on the evidence that Jimmy Mubdnga was

:01:18. > :01:22.unlawfully killed. Mr Mubenga was being deported despite his family's

:01:23. > :01:25.right to stay in Britain. Stpported by the local community in Ilford

:01:26. > :01:31.East London, his wife and fhve children fought for three ydars to

:01:32. > :01:33.get an explanation why. In light of the inquest's verdict, the Crown

:01:34. > :01:47.Prosecution Service reconsidered the evidence and today said:

:01:48. > :01:53.All three former G4S security guards face a charge of manslaughtdr. They

:01:54. > :01:57.say they will vigorously defend themselves. G4S, the companx, will

:01:58. > :02:00.not face a corporate manslatghter charge after the CPS ruled there was

:02:01. > :02:06.insufficient evidence to brhng a criminal charge against the

:02:07. > :02:17.business. Mr Mubenga's widow, Adrienne Kambana, said:

:02:18. > :02:23.An inquest verdict does not apportion blame to individu`ls. The

:02:24. > :02:26.three former employees of G4S will now go before a criminal trhal jury

:02:27. > :02:28.who will consider the chargds of unlawful act manslaughter and gross

:02:29. > :02:38.negligence manslaughter as `n alternative.

:02:39. > :02:44.Cash`strapped, fragmented and unravelling. That's how the NHS in

:02:45. > :02:48.London has been described in a new report commissioned by the Tnite

:02:49. > :02:53.union. It makes a raft of recommendations, which it claims

:02:54. > :02:58.could help save London's NHS. Our Political Correspondent, Karl

:02:59. > :03:03.Mercer, has the details. Just two days old and Daniel is getthng to

:03:04. > :03:06.meet Daniel. The newcomer and the health minister at Kingston Hospital

:03:07. > :03:09.this morning. Little Daniel you would hope unaware that his new

:03:10. > :03:12.political friend is here to announce more money for maternity services at

:03:13. > :03:18.this hospital and unaware that London's health services once again

:03:19. > :03:22.at the centre of a political spat. The union Unite has held a six`month

:03:23. > :03:25.enquiry into London's health care. It says the system is under pressure

:03:26. > :03:29.and unravelling and raises concerns over maternity units. Women in

:03:30. > :03:32.London are often from immigrant backgrounds or poor backgrotnds and

:03:33. > :03:37.their background health is poor so they are presenting with more

:03:38. > :03:40.problems. And they were concerned about that and they also sahd they

:03:41. > :03:47.were concerned with the consultant cover out of hours. It's also

:03:48. > :03:50.worried that London may see more of the sort of hospital reorganisations

:03:51. > :03:55.that led to protests in Lewhsham and a new body, they say, is nedded to

:03:56. > :03:58.oversee health care in the capital. I've worked in the NHS for 25 years

:03:59. > :04:01.and, of course, it's always been changing and has to change but

:04:02. > :04:04.that's not what these reconfigurations are about. They are

:04:05. > :04:09.financially driven, starting with the question how to save money and

:04:10. > :04:13.then working backwards from them. If one Daniel is too little to have a

:04:14. > :04:16.view, the other is quite cldar on his. What we have seen is, by the

:04:17. > :04:19.improvements the government have been put into the NHS, not just

:04:20. > :04:22.through additional funding for maternity units like this btt also

:04:23. > :04:24.to making sure that these doctors and nurses can make decisions about

:04:25. > :04:31.delivering front`line patient care, we are seeing patient care hs

:04:32. > :04:35.improving. The government h`s promised the NHS is safe in its

:04:36. > :04:38.hands. Today's report raises familiar challenges to that claim.

:04:39. > :04:46.Without doubt, is the fact that the NHS will remain at the centre of

:04:47. > :04:48.political debate. Almos 400 suspected criminals have bedn

:04:49. > :04:51.arrested in raids in the capital today as the Metropolitan Police

:04:52. > :04:56.joined forces with nine othdr European countries to target mobile

:04:57. > :04:59.phone crime. Almost 45,000 phones have been stolen in London over the

:05:00. > :05:07.past year. Our Home Affairs Correspondent, Guy Smith, rdports.

:05:08. > :05:10.What we're going to do is check your phones to make sure none of them are

:05:11. > :05:12.stolen, OK? Brixton market this morning, Met officers were targeting

:05:13. > :05:17.stallholders for stolen mobhle phones. This trader was innocent of

:05:18. > :05:23.any wrongdoing. But it wasn't long before the first arrest. Yot are

:05:24. > :05:28.going be arrested for this one, all right? We've had previous rdsults

:05:29. > :05:31.where we have arrested shop store holders and then done furthdr

:05:32. > :05:36.searches and recovered many, many stolen phones. In some cases,

:05:37. > :05:40.they've already been shipped in boxes ready to be sent abro`d. Many

:05:41. > :05:44.of those phones are destined to north Africa, Asia and the Liddle

:05:45. > :05:46.East. Today, the Met is working alongside other forces across

:05:47. > :05:52.England and Wales and with nine European countries. It is a global

:05:53. > :05:56.phenomenon and one of the things that was driving crime in Ndw York

:05:57. > :05:59.for example was mobile phond theft. And that's why there are sole real

:06:00. > :06:05.similarities between these lajor global cities. So I don't think

:06:06. > :06:08.London is easy pickings at `ll. I think it's becoming increashngly

:06:09. > :06:11.hostile. And this is what they're trying to stop. Organised g`ngs

:06:12. > :06:18.many from Eastern Europe, t`rgeting Londoners. They've had some success.

:06:19. > :06:24.From an average last year of 28 phone stolen a day in the c`pital,

:06:25. > :06:28.now it's down to 80. There doesn't seem to be a day that goes by

:06:29. > :06:30.without some form of critichsm of the Met, whether that's corruption,

:06:31. > :06:37.racism or serious allegations against undercover officers. But

:06:38. > :06:41.today, seems to be good news. So far, more than 380 suspects have

:06:42. > :06:43.been arrested here in London. News of how many in Europe is sthll

:06:44. > :06:51.unknown. Well, it's goodnight from md. I ll

:06:52. > :06:57.leave you now with the Sara Thornton who has the weather.

:06:58. > :07:02.A chilly night through the night tonight. Elsewhere, some cloud but a

:07:03. > :07:06.chilly start tomorrow with of sunshine for all of us but ht's a

:07:07. > :07:10.bit of a split in the morning because we have some cloud towards

:07:11. > :07:15.the south`east first thing `nd temperatures not quite as cold. Then

:07:16. > :07:19.there's plenty of sunshine. The wind picking up tomorrow. And thdn

:07:20. > :07:23.eventually it will push somd showers towards us particularly tow`rds

:07:24. > :07:28.north and west as we move through the afternoon. 13 Celsius. We will

:07:29. > :07:30.do it all again on Saturday. A fairly cool stuff, showers coming

:07:31. > :07:33.through and that's fairly cool stuff, showers coming

:07:34. > :07:39.through and that's the theme. I will leave you with that summary. Good

:07:40. > :07:43.evening. The skies were clear for most parts of the UK and it will

:07:44. > :07:48.turn quite cold but we have to get rid of the band of rain slipping its

:07:49. > :07:52.way southwards through the day. Gusty wind. Also a temperature

:07:53. > :07:58.contrast. 16 degrees in Norwich Five degrees in Stornoway. It is the

:07:59. > :07:59.colder air which will win tonight. It will push down across all parts

:08:00. > :08:01.and be
