good evening. A cyclist has died at a junction that has a history of

:00:14.:00:22.

cycling accidents. The collhsion with a truck happened this lorning

:00:23.:00:25.

in Ludgate Circus where it leets Fleet Street. There have bedn six

:00:26.:00:33.

serious injuries there sincd 20 8. Captured on a mobile phone by a

:00:34.:00:37.

worker in a City office block, the aftermath of another cyclist death

:00:38.:00:43.

in London. The blue police tent masking the full horror. Paramedics

:00:44.:00:46.

said there was nothing they could do to save the man. For much of the

:00:47.:00:51.

day, this part of the City was sealed off. This is an accident

:00:52.:00:58.

blackspot which worries comluters. I am probably `` I was probably on

:00:59.:01:02.

this road five minutes before the collision. I was cycling to work. I

:01:03.:01:07.

think I spotted the lorry there Further behind me. As cyclists talk

:01:08.:01:17.

about this area being a danger zone. Six cyclists have been seriously

:01:18.:01:21.

injured here over the past six years and some campaigners are angry it is

:01:22.:01:26.

not on a City Hall list announced in February of 33 specific junctions

:01:27.:01:32.

which will be redesigned. Wd really need action here. I am hoping that

:01:33.:01:40.

Andrew Gilligan, the mayor `nd EFL will get on and get this redesigned

:01:41.:01:46.

as soon as possible `` TEFL. These workers today had the grim task of

:01:47.:01:53.

retrieving the victim's possessions. It is only now after four and a half

:01:54.:01:57.

hours that they are reopening the normally very busy part of London.

:01:58.:02:00.

In terms of what exactly happened this morning, it is not cle`r.

:02:01.:02:05.

Investigators will be studyhng CCTV of nearby roads. Police said they

:02:06.:02:09.

had arrested the driver of this lorry, a 53`year`old man in question

:02:10.:02:17.

`` questioned on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

:02:18.:02:23.

As a cyclist, it is scary. Dvery time you hear of a death, it is

:02:24.:02:27.

typically a left turning lorry. Sometimes I think there is not

:02:28.:02:31.

enough done in terms of infrastructure and spending on

:02:32.:02:35.

cycling safety. City Hall insisted the sport will be redesigned as part

:02:36.:02:41.

of a new north`south route. In a statement, the mayor's cyclhng

:02:42.:02:46.

Commissioner Andrew Gilligan said, this junction is one of the main

:02:47.:02:49.

junctions on the new super highways which will be consulted on this year

:02:50.:02:54.

and will be given a fully sdgregated junction as part of a fully

:02:55.:02:57.

segregated cycle route. For now for the third time this year, a family

:02:58.:03:01.

of a London cyclist is tonight grieving.

:03:02.:03:08.

A senior Metropolitan Policd officer has today denied treating a female

:03:09.:03:12.

colleague differently because she is black and a woman. PC Carol Howard

:03:13.:03:21.

claimed Dave Kelly discriminated against her.

:03:22.:03:26.

The tribunal today heard how Sergeant Kelly treated Carol Howard

:03:27.:03:31.

light candy he could toy with. It is alleged he singled her out targeting

:03:32.:03:37.

and intimidated her `` treated her like candy. She is only one of two

:03:38.:03:42.

black women in 700 officers working in the diplomatic protection group.

:03:43.:03:47.

Part of her job involved working as a firearms officer at the Alerican

:03:48.:03:53.

Embassy. She today `` he today told the tribunal that Carol How`rd is

:03:54.:04:00.

the only female black officdr he has managed. In a statement, thd said he

:04:01.:04:04.

found the allegation of him being a bigot insulting in the extrdme and

:04:05.:04:09.

denied being attracted to hdr. The hearing was told Dave Kelly sent a

:04:10.:04:13.

marked police car to Carol Howard's house when she called in sick. Today

:04:14.:04:18.

her lawyer said, what it looks like is harassment. An extraordinary

:04:19.:04:22.

zealous approach to make her feel like she is being watched. Sergeant

:04:23.:04:27.

Kelly replied, I would have done the same for any colleague. You treated

:04:28.:04:31.

Carol differently to other officers because she was black and or a

:04:32.:04:37.

woman. He replied, I treat `ll officers the same. Sergeant Kelly

:04:38.:04:42.

would ask Miss Howard about her sex life and Kirsty and `` and

:04:43.:04:47.

questioned her ability to do her job. The hearing continues.

:04:48.:04:55.

Londoners have been dealing with another day of air pollution will

:04:56.:04:59.

stop a mixture of local and continental pollution together with

:05:00.:05:02.

dust from the Sahara is said to be the cause. The warning of today s

:05:03.:05:07.

maximum levels lead to an Enfield school taking preventative `ction.

:05:08.:05:16.

Break time at this primary School, a chance to play, enjoy being outside.

:05:17.:05:21.

Not full this boy with asthla. `` not for this boy. I felt dust in my

:05:22.:05:29.

throat and I drink a lot of water but it still has not helped much. Is

:05:30.:05:36.

it uncomfortable? Yeah. Yesterday, all of the pupils were kept indoors

:05:37.:05:42.

as a precaution. We have sole official advice today from the local

:05:43.:05:46.

authority and DEFRA that thd situation only affects children with

:05:47.:05:52.

respiratory problems. Today we have kept children with asthma inside and

:05:53.:05:55.

everybody else is playing ott as normal. Next door is the busy North

:05:56.:06:03.

circular, the school is planning to plant trees to keep pollution levels

:06:04.:06:08.

down. This was how Londoners saw the smoke captured on camera phones the

:06:09.:06:16.

Shard shrouded. Such concern about air quality, the City of London

:06:17.:06:23.

Corporation has developed this app, advising commuters on the ldast

:06:24.:06:28.

polluted route to work. There are plans for an ultralow emisshon zone.

:06:29.:06:33.

But the capital could face Duropean fines over for a quality and

:06:34.:06:37.

campaigners say the mayor ndeds to do more and more quickly.

:06:38.:06:43.

That is it from me. I wish xou good night and hand you to Chris for the

:06:44.:06:46.

weather. The warmest spot in the country

:06:47.:06:55.

again. Overnight tonight we will keep a blanket of cloud across the

:06:56.:07:00.

region. Temperatures will not fall much from where they are at the

:07:01.:07:04.

moment. A little bit cooler and some of the suburbs. An area of low

:07:05.:07:09.

pressure in Oxfordshire bringing a significant change to the wdather as

:07:10.:07:14.

it drifts north`east woods. It will bring south`westerly winds `nd we

:07:15.:07:16.

will start to see sunshine `nd much cleaner and `` as it drifts to the

:07:17.:07:26.

north`east. More sunshine than we had today. That is the way the

:07:27.:07:31.

weather looks. Now the had today. That is the way the

:07:32.:07:33.

weather looks. Now the latest on the pesky pollution.

:07:34.:07:37.

Good evening. They say a change of air is good for you and that is what

:07:38.:07:45.

we have on the way. The brush that will sweep away all of the air

:07:46.:07:50.

pollution is a weather system developing in the Atlantic. The

:07:51.:07:54.

Atlantic implements very much across the UK from the next few days -

:07:55.:07:58.

over the next few days. Cleaner air from the Atlantic. Ringing rain as

:07:59.:08:03.

well. That is also good because it tends to wash the particles out of

:08:04.:08:07.

the air. We have seen that happening today with fairly heavy rain at

:08:08.:08:11.

times across parts of Wales and south-west England. It will continue

:08:12.:08:15.

north through tonight. Quite wet and mystique across northern England. --

:08:16.:08:23.

quite misty. Pretty mild. Maybe staying in double figures in the

:08:24.:08:28.

South. A fairly great start for most of us tomorrow. Damp and dismal

:08:29.:08:35.

across eastern Scotland -- a fairly grey
