Campaigners have claimed lives could be put at risk with the closure of | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
They say neighbouring hospitals won't be able to cope when the | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
emergency units at Hammersmith and Central Middlesex shut in September. | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
But NHS bosses insist no changes are being made | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
Here's our political correspondent Karl Mercer. | :00:31. | :00:40. | |
Despite the chanting, the petition and banners, change is on the way | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
Four A in the area are to be either shut or downgraded. | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
Those at Ealing and Charing Cross will lose some services. | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
This week it has been announced that those at Hammersmith and | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
Central Middlesex will be shut on September 10th. | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
At the moment, the A department at Hammersmith sees around 60 | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
Around a third of those are admitted to the hospital. | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
But from September 10th, the ambulances will be going elsewhere, | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
The NHS estimates 25 ambulances a day will divert to St Mary's, | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
with 15 patients referred from the urgent care centre at Hammersmith. | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
It says 13 patients a day will need to be admitted. | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
But papers from the board meeting of Imperial College Health says | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
the current capacity at St Mary's for acute admissions is already | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
It says additional capacity at St Mary's is central to delivery | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
It goes on this is unlikely to conclude prior to the conclusion | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
That has worried the local council leader. | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
Newly elected last week, Stephen Cowan mentioned the hospital | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
The people of Hammersmith and Fulham tell you hand on heart, | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
We cannot have bureaucrats sitting in offices making these kind | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
of decisions, putting lives at risk and taking no notice of | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
the electoral mandate that has been given to Hammersmith and Fulham. | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
There was a promise these decisions would be made on a clinical basis. | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
It says wards usually used for the winter rush will be pressed | :02:20. | :02:29. | |
What we are doing is moving small teams of doctors at Hammersmith | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
and moving them to larger units to provide better care over 24 hours | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
a day which is much better for patients. | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
They are calling for an urgent meeting with | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
The Metropolitan Police has said an officer involved in restraining a | :02:49. | :02:56. | |
man who later died in custody will no longer be allowed to resign. | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
The force said Andrew Birks would instead be suspended, after | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
the police watchdog said "accepting his resignation would prevent him | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
facing disciplinary proceedings" over the death of Sean Rigg. | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
Mr Rigg died at Brixton police station six years ago. | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
A doctor in Haringey has been struck`off the medical register | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
for agreeing to help arrange female genital mutilation. | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
Dr Ali Mao`Aweys told an undercover reporter that he could | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
arrange for the illegal surgery to be carried out on two young girls. | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
A tribunal said he abused his position | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
and should be banned from practicing. | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
Plans to extend the Westfield Shopping Centre | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
in west London, creating thousands of jobs and hundreds of new homes, | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
But the idea has also come under fire for only making a fraction | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
of the new homes "affordable" for many Londoners. | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
Alice Bhandhukravi is outside Westfield for us this | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
That is right. Westfield opened up here six years ago. In that time it | :03:58. | :04:13. | |
has gone from strength to strength and they have opened a site at East | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
London near the Olympic Park. Now they have pressed ahead with a ?1 | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
billion expansion with new shops. Thousands of jobs are in the | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
pipeline. New homes will also be built. Westfield have committed to | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
building 1300 new homes. Just 12% have been described as affordable. | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
The Mayor's target is 40% of homes built by new developments should be | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
described as affordable. The local MP has expressed his disappointment | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
with the terms of the deal. I hope we can either persuade or insist | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
that Westfield go back and look at this again. If they are going to be | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
a good neighbour they have to think about not just the people who shop | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
there, but the people who live there. Westfield themselves have | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
said the terms of the deal are the best they can do in the current | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
economic climate. City Hall have been quick to defend their approval | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
of this expansion. This is an extremely expensive site to build | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
on. The main advantage from our point of view is jobs. We wage jobs | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
and housing in the balance when we make these decisions. It is about | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
the overall economic benefit to the city. These plans are expected to | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
take place within the next three years. Given that in the last week, | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
Labour won control of the former Tory lead counsel, we may see | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
Hammersmith Council looking to renegotiate the terms of this deal | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
to increase the number of affordable homes to be built. Thank you. | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
Finally, 20,000 tonnes of the Royal Navy's finest ship has moored | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
in Greenwich to give Londoners the chance to have | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
HMS Bulwark has come to London before it heads to Normandy next | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
week, to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the D`Day landings. | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
All tickets to visit the ship have sold out, but thousands of Londoners | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
are expected to visit Greenwich just to see the 176 metre vessel which | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
Well, if you're heading that way, let's find out what | :06:14. | :06:25. | |
I have some good news. It should be getting brighter after what has been | :06:26. | :06:40. | |
a dull week. Lots of cloud but for Saturday and Sunday, much brighter | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
skies. Most of us will see some spells of sunshine. It should be | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
feeling warmer as well. Temperatures have been dropping overnight | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
tonight. Largely clear skies. Cloud to the west of London. We should | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
just about staying double figures in the city centre. In the outskirts | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
single figures. A fresh start to Saturday. Cloud will develop through | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
the day. It will turn a bit grey at times. Generally, dry and bright. | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
When the sun is out, temperatures climbing. Sunday will be similar. A | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
bright start, cloud in the afternoon but it will get warmer. We can see | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
Sunday's temperatures may be a degree or so higher. Then it is set | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
to turn cooler and fresher with showers into the early part of next | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
week. Enjoy showers into the early part of next | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
week. Enjoy the weekend, if you can. Now the national outlook. | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
Hello, lots of outdoor plans ahead. By and large, we are in pretty good | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
shape. A quick look back at spring. It was the third warmest on record | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
but the dullest May in Northern Ireland on record. It has been dull | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
across many parts of the UK in actual fact. Scotland had some | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
sunshine and parts of East Anglia and the south-east as well. Under | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
the cloud tonight temperatures will stay well up. But under the clear | :08:10. | :08:17. | |
skies will get down close to freezing. A dry start to the weekend | :08:18. | :08:25. | |
virtually everywhere. It will stay that way for the vast majority as we | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
go through the day. There will be some subtle variations around the | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
UK. As funny start for East Anglia and the south-east. -- a sunny | :08:34. | :08:42. | |
start. It looks fine across Scotland and Northern Ireland | :08:43. | :08:43. |
