:00:00. > :00:13.first look at the papers on the BBC News channel. Now on

:00:14. > :00:18.Good evening. From next month the Metropolitan Police will begin the

:00:19. > :00:21.largest ever trial of body cameras. After the inquest into the fatal

:00:22. > :00:23.shooting of Mark Duggan by police in Tottenham, the Met announced

:00:24. > :00:28.firearms officers would use the cameras. Now the pilot has been

:00:29. > :00:32.expanded to include 500 offhcers in nine boroughs. Our Home Aff`irs

:00:33. > :00:35.Correspondent, Guy Smith, h`s been to California where a simil`r scheme

:00:36. > :00:43.has seen a big fall in complaints from the public. Rialto, just

:00:44. > :00:52.outside Los Angeles. A sleepy city where you'd think not much happens.

:00:53. > :00:57.But you'd be surprised. This is all being recorded by officers wearing

:00:58. > :01:02.video cameras. You can see `nd hear what's happening. Here in Southern

:01:03. > :01:06.California, they carried out an experiment. All officers in the

:01:07. > :01:12.Rialto Police Department were equipped with these small c`meras.

:01:13. > :01:17.They were told to systematically record every interaction thdy had

:01:18. > :01:20.with the public over a year. The study looked at whether offhcers'

:01:21. > :01:26.behaviour changed when they became aware they were being observed. We

:01:27. > :01:29.had a drop in use of force incidences by about 60% and a

:01:30. > :01:38.decrease in officer complains of about 88%. That's huge. It's quite

:01:39. > :01:42.bit more than we anticipated. And the chief of police is also happy

:01:43. > :01:52.that force isn't used too often here in Rialto. Just showing thehr

:01:53. > :01:56.weapons is usually enough. Dvery uniformed officer in Rialto is

:01:57. > :01:59.assigned one of these right now This is actually a camera. Ht's

:02:00. > :02:03.pretty small, very lightweight. It has the lens, it actually h`s the

:02:04. > :02:06.storage system in it and it also has a small microphone and a sm`ll

:02:07. > :02:12.speaker system and it to thd officers know that they are

:02:13. > :02:16.recording. It has changed mx behaviour? It makes you mord aware

:02:17. > :02:21.of what I'm doing and that someone is watching. Do you have a licence

:02:22. > :02:31.on you real quick? Where do you work? OK. The tinted windows is also

:02:32. > :02:35.illegal. Really? Yeah. But today is your lucky day. I'm just gohng to

:02:36. > :02:44.give you a warning. Corporal Gary Cunningham has been a cop a long

:02:45. > :02:48.time. My 25 years. Yes, I fought with people and a lot of sttff and

:02:49. > :02:51.now with this, if you're usdd to having it on you, then you're going

:02:52. > :02:54.to make sure you do everythhng by the book. It's just like having a

:02:55. > :02:59.camera, an eyewitness. Yet, not everyone is so convinced. Police can

:03:00. > :03:07.use their authority to pull over cars, to enter homes. And when they

:03:08. > :03:09.are filming at the same timd, filming people in vulnerabld

:03:10. > :03:15.situations, that raises real concerns if that video is

:03:16. > :03:18.unregulated. This video is from the officer's point of view. It clearly

:03:19. > :03:23.provides evidence that could later be used in court. It's something

:03:24. > :03:29.London will be testing next month. 500 bobbies on the beat will be

:03:30. > :03:35.using them in nine boroughs. Yet another high`tech tool in the fight

:03:36. > :03:38.against crime. I think that specifically for London, yot're

:03:39. > :03:44.looking at the increase in policing legitimacy.

:03:45. > :03:49.London's NHS should cash in on unused buildings and tax fatty foods

:03:50. > :03:53.and fizzy drinks if it wants to improve the capital's health. Those

:03:54. > :03:57.are the early findings of strgeon Lord Darzi, who heads the M`yor s

:03:58. > :04:03.London Health Commission. Otr Political Correspondent Karl Mercer

:04:04. > :04:06.has more. For years, Ara Darzi has been at the centre of the c`pital's

:04:07. > :04:09.health service. First as a surgeon. Then as a health minister in

:04:10. > :04:12.previous Labour governments. Now he's at the centre of the M`yor s

:04:13. > :04:18.plans, tasked with finding new ways of getting the health message across

:04:19. > :04:22.to Londoners. A real pleasure. Thank you. Thank you for having the

:04:23. > :04:24.courage to come all this wax. Which will explain this meeting this

:04:25. > :04:31.morning with Camilla Batmangelligh from the charity, the Kids Company.

:04:32. > :04:34.A walk, if you like, into the lion's den. What I've ended up havhng to do

:04:35. > :04:43.is absolutely create a parallel health service here. Lord D`rzi was

:04:44. > :04:46.here to share his plans. Ond of them for the NHS to make more of

:04:47. > :04:49.buildings like this. The National Temperance Hospital shut its doors

:04:50. > :04:52.to patients back in 1990. The NHS sold it 16 years later. But it

:04:53. > :04:55.remains empty. Recently sold on again to the Deptartment of

:04:56. > :05:00.Transport. There is a huge `mount of estate which I wasn't aware of that

:05:01. > :05:03.is not used or disused. And in actual fact is also costing the

:05:04. > :05:06.taxpayer somewhere around 50 or 60 million, so a better use of the

:05:07. > :05:13.estate is one of the import`nt outputs of this commission. They can

:05:14. > :05:19.just give me a couple of million of it and I'll throw my turban up in

:05:20. > :05:22.the air. We have to move from one of our buildings because we ard just

:05:23. > :05:27.sitting in it before it's gdtting demolished. If someone from the NHS

:05:28. > :05:35.gave us a building, it would be amazing. Hello. An ABC digital

:05:36. > :05:38.special report. A big announcement coming from the FDA regarding the

:05:39. > :05:41.safety of trans`fats and partially hydrogenated oils. There's `nother

:05:42. > :05:44.idea Lord Darzi says should be considered and that's cutting down

:05:45. > :05:51.on harmful fats as they've done in America. Even bringing in charges.

:05:52. > :05:53.My instinct is we need to look at every intervention including

:05:54. > :05:57.taxation in really tackling this big, big problem, but that's not in

:05:58. > :06:00.my gift to announce. I'm advising the Mayor on what he should be

:06:01. > :06:03.doing. At the moment, London's health commission is taking its

:06:04. > :06:08.first steps. Its final report is due later this year. Just beford the

:06:09. > :06:12.weather, a quick reminder tonight's Late Kick`Off has a round up of all

:06:13. > :06:18.the Football League action. That's at 11.25pm here on BBC One. That's

:06:19. > :06:24.about it from me. Let's now take a check on the weather with Wdndy

:06:25. > :06:32.Good evening. The warmest d`y of the year yesterday, nearly 21 Cdlsius.

:06:33. > :06:35.And even warmer day this wedk, perhaps. Some other funny things

:06:36. > :06:41.been going on in the air. S`haran dust. If you washed your car at the

:06:42. > :06:47.weekend, it was a waste of time A little but of light rain coling into

:06:48. > :06:52.the atmosphere, and quite hhgh pollution today and for the next two

:06:53. > :06:57.days. Very high, in fact, across London. Just something to bdar in

:06:58. > :07:00.mind. We could also see one or two showers. Mainly affecting areas west

:07:01. > :07:08.of London. A rumble of thunder, I suppose. Very mild, 7`10dC. A bit of

:07:09. > :07:11.fog showing up on the map as well which will develop into patches and

:07:12. > :07:15.could be quite dense through rush hour tomorrow so go cautiously. It

:07:16. > :07:19.might take bit of time to shift as well but through the afternoon, I

:07:20. > :07:22.expect there will be some chinks of blue sky, some sunshine getting

:07:23. > :07:26.through with light wind, and temperatures getting up into the

:07:27. > :07:30.high teens once again. On the outlook, another day on Wednesday.

:07:31. > :07:35.Some rain will clear the Some rain will clear the atmosphere

:07:36. > :07:42.on Thursday. More information on all of that. Hello, talk of the

:07:43. > :07:47.day-to-day has been the Saharan dust. If you have no idea what I'm

:07:48. > :07:51.talking about, here is an explanation for you. Essentially, in

:07:52. > :07:56.the last 24-hour is, there has been wind from the Saharan desert, you

:07:57. > :08:00.can get an idea of where it has been coming from, by the motion of the

:08:01. > :08:05.cloud on a satellite picture. Low pressure. The wind in the atmosphere

:08:06. > :08:09.picking up some of the dust from the Sahara desert, shunted across

:08:10. > :08:13.western parts of Europe, and all of it on Sunday night into Monday felt

:08:14. > :08:16.the ground for the some us were waiting to find some grubby cars,

:08:17. > :08:21.but that's the closest to desert whether we're going to get, apart

:08:22. > :08:24.from the dust. We've also had other pollutants in the atmosphere. In

:08:25. > :08:30.London and Manchester, pollution is high. You can get our environmental

:08:31. > :08:34.summary online. The skies have been washed out by the rain across

:08:35. > :08:38.western parts of the UK this evening. Heavy rain across parts of

:08:39. > :08:43.Wales, thunderstorms, and by the early hours of Tuesday morning,

:08:44. > :08:44.heavy rain transferring to parts of Northern Ireland, northern
