in a moment with analysis of that debate between Nick Clegg and Nigel | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
Good evening. Prince Charles has given his opinion on solving | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
London's housing problem. He believes architects should look at | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
using mansion blocks more effectively ` as well as building | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
more squares as they did in Georgian and Victorian times. But the Mayor | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
has responded by saying it's crazy to write off the idea of having more | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
high`rise buildings. Alex Bushill reports. | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
Tower block versus terrace. Modernists versus traditionalists. | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
The Mayor versus the Prince. The Prince of Wales today outlined his | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
vision of a London based on the beauty of the Maida Vale mansion | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
block and the terraces of Notting Hill. I'm greatly encouraged by the | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
report's central recommendation that we should consider mid`rise as one | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
of the key solutions to London's necessary expansion. He was | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
launching a Prince's Foundation housing report. With 36,000 new | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
households expected each year and only 24,000 being built, there will | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
be a shortfall of nearly 600,000 by 2022. His solution ` more mid`sized | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
housing, around five storeys, along transport corridors, especially in | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
the suburbs. And more infill building, typically where bombs once | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
fell. The report also criticises much of high`rise living as a sink | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
estates in the sky. Not fair, says this award`winning architect. He | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
lives with his family at the Barbican's towers. High`rise living | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
gives you the ability to access things like sunlight, daylight, | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
ventilation, all of the things that are quite problematic when you're | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
naturally trying to deliver infill housing in some of the inner`city | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
boroughs of London. For others, there is a bigger question ` how to | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
provide affordable housing on increasingly unaffordable land. | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
Everybody understands that we have to densify the city. The problem is | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
how to do that when land is so terribly expensive. Although the | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
report does talk about the price of land in London, it doesn't seem to | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
offer any solutions. And tonight the mayor weighed in. Everybody in an | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
ideal world would like to see just loads of London terraced streets and | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
squares and so on. But it is possible, on many sites, to build | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
good, sensible, affordable high`rise accommodation. Beautiful homes where | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
there's good transport links. It's absolutely crazy to rule out | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
high`rise in those cases. Regardless of which is best ` steel and glass, | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
bricks and mortar ` the fact that the Mayor and the Prince have so | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
publicly disagreed shows just how hard it is to build any consensus, | :02:36. | :02:43. | |
let alone enough homes for London. The brother of one of the men who | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
killed Lee Rigby in Woolwich last year says his sibling feels sorry | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
for the dead soldier's sun ` but doesn't regret the murder. Michael | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
Adebolajo's brother Jeremiah was speaking to the BBC, as our home | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
affairs correspondent Guy Smith reports. | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
The judge described the murder of Lee Rigby as barbaric. He said the | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
two British Muslim converts killed the 25`year`old soldier in a way | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
that would generate maximum media coverage. That the men, both from | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
London, gloried in what they had done. Michael Adebolajo was given a | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
whole`life term with no chance of parole. His accomplice jailed for a | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
minimum of 45 years. Today Adebolajo's brother told the BBC he | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
believed the sentencing was Islamophobic. Not only that but I | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
think it was more trial by the public. There was a lot of public | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
outrage, as could be understood. I mean, the death of a soldier in any | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
country would provoke... Would provoke the outrage that it did. I | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
would suggest that Justice Sweeney was simply giving in to that | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
pressure. The sentencing has nothing to do with Islamophobia whatsoever. | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
And what Adebolajo s brother said is, in fact, quite perverse and | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
provocative in the extreme and should be condemned. I recall the | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
trial's judge castigating the two murderers for trying to excuse their | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
evil crime through an affiliation with Islam. The brother claimed | :04:04. | :04:12. | |
Adebolajo is sorry for the distress caused to Lee Rigby's son. | :04:13. | :04:22. | |
Young health care students at a London university are amongst the | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
first in the country to experience what it's like to be old age | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
pensioner ` with the help of a specially designed suit. It | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
restricts movement and changes the way you see and hear. Nick Beake has | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
been having a closer look. We're just going to go up a flight | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
of stairs, OK? It's one small step and it's hard work. Can you see how | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
many stairs there are? Hardly. 23`year`old Jalaruban is putting | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
himself in the shoes of the patients he'll be treating in hospital. | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
There's a very heavily weighted body suit to give the idea of weariness | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
ofmovement, lack of flexibility in the spine. For the past few months, | :04:56. | :05:03. | |
trainee health care assistants have been using this age`simulator suit. | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
It greatly restricts movement and the special glasses replicate the | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
likes of cataracts. Can you hear me? Yeah, I can hear | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
you. What does it feel like? It feels very heavy. I can barely move | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
myself. It's being used in the wake of scandals such as Mid Staffs, | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
where hundreds of patients were neglected, maltreated and shown | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
little empathy. Just walking around in this suit is extremely difficult. | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
The strain on all your limbs and your back is considerable. And when | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
you put these glasses on, the experience is made even more | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
difficult. You might see that my hands are twitching at the moment. | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
That's because there is an electrical pulse being sent through | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
them to simulate twitching. So a normal day`to`day experience like | :05:51. | :05:52. | |
pouring a glass of water is made considerably more difficult. No | :05:53. | :06:00. | |
problems with mobility at Age Concern Kingston today, a drop`in | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
centre for the over`60s. What's the verdict here? If you restrict | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
people's movements and stuff like that, a young person, surely it can | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
only teach them what they're going to look forward to in old age. I | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
think it's a marvellous idea. Nobody realises what it's like to lose your | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
balance. It's for that reason they hope this can build a better | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
understanding of an older body and mind and lead to better care. | :06:26. | :06:34. | |
BBC London has learnt that Crossrail will be extended to Reading. The | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
plan was for it to end at Maidenhead ` but sources have told us it'll now | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
go ten miles further west ` so a journey from Reading to London will | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
take 50 minutes. An official announcement is expected tomorrow. | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
That's it from me. Now the weather with Wendy Hurrell. Good evening. If | :06:49. | :06:58. | |
it feels chilly to you, it is going to be warming up at the weekend. | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
Tonight, though, despite the fact that we've got a fair amount of | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
cloud, any breaks in it will be enough to turn a bit frosty and | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
since we've also got some showers around, there could be some icy | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
patches as well. Temperatures fall to freezing if not below in | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
sheltered spots. A bit of mist and murk tomorrow morning. The brightest | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
part of the day will be the morning. Come the afternoon, there will be | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
showers around, generally more isolated than today but they could | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
be quite lively. You might see hail and there will be a cold wind still | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
blowing. On the outlook, it is warming up towards the weekend. | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
Here's Nick Miller with more. Some of the many faces of spring | :07:36. | :07:44. | |
weather showed themselves today. Sun in Scotland, snow in the showers | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
that moved in across England. Hail as well. Adrian took this picture | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
from Essex and the chilly feel stays with us for the rest of the week | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
along with further showers. If you don't like this, wait for this! | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
Temperatures heading up at the weekend. To achieve that, we need to | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
change the weather pattern which is tailored towards a cold wind coming | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
in from the North Sea and low pressure giving us showers. Cold | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
enough for the rest of the night for the showers to fall as snow on | :08:17. | :08:18. |
