:00:13. > :00:17.Good evening and welcome. A new design of lorry, aimed at
:00:18. > :00:21.reducing the number of cyclhsts killed in collisions has bedn
:00:22. > :00:25.approved by the European Parliament. Last year, 14 cyclists were killed
:00:26. > :00:29.on the capital's roads with nine of those incidents involving HGVs. If
:00:30. > :00:33.Westminster agrees to the changes, lorries will need bigger windows and
:00:34. > :00:44.rounder fronts. Gareth Furbx reports.
:00:45. > :00:51.Cycling home from central London this evening, and many who commute
:00:52. > :00:55.use their bikes `` using thdir bikes will be delighted that the Duropean
:00:56. > :00:58.Parliament wants lorries made safer. It seems crazy there have bden
:00:59. > :01:03.designed the way they have for so long without anyone realise it was
:01:04. > :01:07.asking for trouble. Anything that can improve everybody's safdty has
:01:08. > :01:14.got to be a good thing. Verx pleased to hear about it. The main danger in
:01:15. > :01:20.London has come when heavy goods vehicles turn left with a cxclist on
:01:21. > :01:25.the inside, in the driver's blindspot. Doctor Katharine Giles
:01:26. > :01:32.died like this in Victoria ` year ago. The inquest heard the driver
:01:33. > :01:39.could not have seen her. Thhs could be the truck of the future, with the
:01:40. > :01:44.standard Euro MPs want. Arotnd CAP fronts and bigger windows for better
:01:45. > :01:52.driver visibility, something Boris Johnson has also been calling for.
:01:53. > :01:56.He is delighted. This is a very good day for a cyclist in London and
:01:57. > :02:00.across Europe. Lorries kill and injure hundreds of cyclists who will
:02:01. > :02:06.now be at much less risk if this goes through. Alex McVitie was
:02:07. > :02:11.killed in 2000 cycling to work in the City, when a cement lorry turned
:02:12. > :02:17.left. Her mother hopes the new standards will be introduced by law.
:02:18. > :02:20.To lose a child in that way is horrific and even more so if you
:02:21. > :02:25.discover that it didn't need to happen, that there are ways of
:02:26. > :02:30.preventing this. How long whll it be before we see these new lorry
:02:31. > :02:34.designs on the streets of London? The European Parliament wants the
:02:35. > :02:40.design changes enforced for all new lorries by 2022, but Europe`n
:02:41. > :02:45.governments must agree with the rules before they can becomd law. We
:02:46. > :02:50.are concerned the British government has said that they do want to
:02:51. > :02:56.negotiate and water down sole of the proposals. We are not sure why they
:02:57. > :02:59.are doing this. That would put back the safety argument and the
:03:00. > :03:06.development of safer lorries by years or decades. The Department for
:03:07. > :03:14.Transport said making HGVs safer is a priority for the government.
:03:15. > :03:17.Today's phot is just one stdp in the process. `` today's phot. A way
:03:18. > :03:19.forward would still need to be agreed in Europe.
:03:20. > :03:23.Human bones have been found buried under a driveway in south London.
:03:24. > :03:26.The remains, including what is believed to be part of a sktll, were
:03:27. > :03:29.discovered by workmen in Riddlesdown Road in Purley yesterday. They have
:03:30. > :03:32.since been confirmed as hum`n, and have now been sent to
:03:33. > :03:37.anthropologists to determind how old they are.
:03:38. > :03:42.London's councils have used CCTV to fine motorists more than ?280
:03:43. > :03:44.million over the past five xears. The data compiled by a camp`ign
:03:45. > :03:50.group shows that Camden Council raised more than ?30 million. The
:03:51. > :03:55.Government says it'll clamp down on what it is sees as an abuse of the
:03:56. > :03:57.technology. But councils sax the cameras improve safety and deny
:03:58. > :04:02.they're using them just to raise money.
:04:03. > :04:05.House prices in London have risen by their fastest rate for nearly seven
:04:06. > :04:11.years, according to the most recent figures. The data from the Office
:04:12. > :04:14.for National Statistics shows that over the last 12 months, thd average
:04:15. > :04:17.cost of a house in the capital has increased by 17%. That's thd highest
:04:18. > :04:24.year`on`year rise since Julx 20 7 and nearly double the UK avdrage.
:04:25. > :04:27.A family who own a sheet metal factory based next to Tottenham
:04:28. > :04:30.Football Club is refusing to relocate, meaning a scheme to
:04:31. > :04:33.improve White Hart Lane could be jeopardised. The plans, which
:04:34. > :04:36.involve redeveloping the arda around the club, have clashed with the
:04:37. > :04:39.manufacturing firm's own pl`ns to expand.Many millions of pounds of
:04:40. > :04:54.development funds are now at stake, as Warren Nettleford reports.
:04:55. > :04:57.Archway Sheet Metals have bden operating for more than 30 xears. If
:04:58. > :05:01.you have had a late night about one of their machines probably cooked
:05:02. > :05:04.it. The premises are in the shadow of the Spurs ground but if the club
:05:05. > :05:11.have their way they would bd forced to move. This is why ` the scale of
:05:12. > :05:14.Tottenham's ambition with a new stadium and retail space. What it
:05:15. > :05:20.does not show is that if thd factory state it would be in the middle of
:05:21. > :05:25.the pitch. This site is derdlict, but there were other factorhes and
:05:26. > :05:29.industrial units. The comp `ny have plans of their own. They employ 20
:05:30. > :05:34.people and want to expand and say they have Planning Permission Bill.
:05:35. > :05:38.If they are regenerating thdy are taking away jobs at the samd time as
:05:39. > :05:43.creating jobs. We are already here and this is our home. We can
:05:44. > :05:49.regenerate and give local pdople the choice to work in Tottenham. We
:05:50. > :05:55.don't object to them developing not at all, but we wanted to be fair,
:05:56. > :05:59.that is all. Tottenham are waiting on the result of a public
:06:00. > :06:07.consultation which began last year. Haringey's council's attend`nt ``
:06:08. > :06:12.attempt to use a compulsory purchase order will be investigated. Spurs
:06:13. > :06:19.say the new scheme is cruci`l to kick`starting the regenerathon of
:06:20. > :06:24.the local area. The solicitor representing the family has
:06:25. > :06:30.reservations. The role of compulsory purchase is not to stifle good young
:06:31. > :06:36.businesses. The role of CPO is not to support wealthy commerci`l
:06:37. > :06:42.enterprises like Spurs. It hs here to support the public interdst.
:06:43. > :06:46.Tottenham see these expansion plans as vital for them to challenge the
:06:47. > :06:48.top clubs in Europe. If the government decides not to b`ck
:06:49. > :06:55.them, those plans could be on hold. Well it's good night from md, now
:06:56. > :07:02.here's. Here's Louise Lear with the London forecast. Good evening. We
:07:03. > :07:06.have seen some beautiful spring sunshine in recent days, but it has
:07:07. > :07:12.been chilly first thing. We will see a similar story tomorrow. Yds, more
:07:13. > :07:16.sunshine but a cool start. Tnder clear skies, temperatures are
:07:17. > :07:20.falling away. In rural spots we will see overnight lows of two or three
:07:21. > :07:25.degrees. It will be a beauthful start to the day with sunshhne
:07:26. > :07:32.coming through and that is how it was day. Southeasterly winds, so
:07:33. > :07:39.hopefully warmer. This is a summary and the look at the National
:07:40. > :07:44.forecast. The sun has set on another beautiful
:07:45. > :07:48.day. Like last night, temperatures have taken a nosedive this evening.
:07:49. > :07:52.It will be a cold night for the middle of April. Temperature is well
:07:53. > :07:57.down into single figures in towns and cities. Across eastern England
:07:58. > :08:01.in rural spots, close to freezing. We are expecting another frost
:08:02. > :08:03.across many parts of England and where. For Northern Ireland and
:08:04. > :08:08.Scotland, temperatures were covering later in the night but for most of
:08:09. > :08:14.us, a cold but sunny start. The last one for a while. We will see cloud
:08:15. > :08:18.increasing across Northern Ireland and Scotland, the breeze freshening
:08:19. > :08:25.and rain heading into the far north-west. Further south, a sunny
:08:26. > :08:27.day for most of England and Wales. Clouds are rare and temperatures
:08:28. > :08:28.will bounce back nicely. On
