Good evening and welcome to the programmd. | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
One of the frontrunners to become the next Chair of the BBC Trust ` | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
which governs the corporation ` has criticised the soap EastEnders | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
for being too white and not reflecting the population of the | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
The comedian Lenny Henry defended the drama whilst discussing | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
Alice Bhandhukravi reports from Walthamstow. | :00:33. | :00:42. | |
That most recognisable of theme tunes. | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
As soon as you hear it you know you are watching EastEnders. | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
But how recognisable is the East London that is portraydd | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
Do the real Eastenders living in Walthamstow see any similarities | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
with living in the fictional Walford? | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
Culturally diverse, a melting pot, not reflected in EastEnders. | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
It is making out we are all characters. | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
Look around you, you have every culture. | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
There are as many Russians, Turkish, Asian and black, | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
so there is no real hegemonx or dominant group, and that is not | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
This pie and mash shop has been here almost a century. | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
If anyone knows how the demographic has changed, it is these people | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
As time has gone on it used to be very English | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
and mostly Eastenders, but we have all walks of life in here now. | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
And this man thinks EastEnders does pretty well. | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
Talking to MPs today, he defended the programme's record | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
in its reflection of black and minority ethnic groups, | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
BAME on EastEnders is the most racially diverse of any soap. | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
Over 38% of the white popul`tion watch it at some point in the year | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
but 50% of BAME watch EastEnders, so the BBC is not connecting with | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
the BAME audience at some points but in others it does well, in soaps. | :02:11. | :02:19. | |
The BBC says EastEnders has one of the most diverse casts on British | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
television and that it would be daft to suggest the programme nedds to be | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
For some people in East 17 though, it is still falling short | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
I think EastEnders represents old East London and it is stuck | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
Almost 100 firefighters are tackling a fire at Erith tonight. London Fire | :02:39. | :03:01. | |
Brigade is urging people to avoid the area and local residents have | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
been told to keep their windows closed. | :03:05. | :03:14. | |
A lorry driver has been charged in connection with the death | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
52`year`old Barry Meyer from Walthamstow is accused | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
of causing the death by careless driving of Alan Neve. | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
He's also accused of not having the correct HGV licence or insurance. | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
Mr Neve was one of 14 cyclists killed in the capital last xear | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
Despite concerns over cycling safety City Hall continues to encotrage | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
even more cyclists on to London s streets with the promise | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
of ?1 billion spent over ten years to make roads safer. | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
That includes setting up a network of "quietways". | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
Our transport correspondent Tom Edwards explains. | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
Cycling in London for some can feel extremely dangerous. That mdans many | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
are put off. Now there are plans to encourage them to use the shde | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
streets. They will be called quietways. There is a much nicer | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
backstreet route they can t`ke. They just have to turn off. But `s you | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
can see, nobody is turning off because they don't know it dxists. | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
We will tell them it exists, we will find post it so it is easy to | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
follow. Where it gives up and you need to go to a tricky junctional | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
something like that, we will it easier and put segregation, special | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
crossings. We took a trip from Waterloo to south`east London. This | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
will be one of the first quhetways. We are doing more segregated | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
junctions and segregated tr`cks But we are also doing a big network of | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
backstreet routes, which will give you a quiet, peaceful area `nd there | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
are huge numbers of them in London. Councils like Camden have already | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
introduced schemes to make cycling safer on the side roads. Yot will | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
probably see more of these. You should have cycle routes evdrywhere | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
but make sure the cars don't pull out because they don't really look. | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
Do you think it will encour`ge people to cycle more if we have more | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
of these in London? Definitdly. If they are safe, which they sdem to | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
be. These fences are coming down, there will be planting and better | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
lighting. There will be CCTV. The authorities are playing catch`up in | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
providing safe infrastructure and the huge increase in cyclists. The | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
plan is to open new routes, like here, behind Millwall's New Den We | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
will open it up and build a new section along here to link tp to | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
another path, and that will create a 24`hour full time completelx traffic | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
free cycle route through sotth`east London. Campaigners have cattiously | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
welcomed plans for quietways, but they want the routes to feel safe | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
and welcoming. There are also `` they are also frustrated at the lack | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
of real progress. All roads in London are contested spaces. They | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
have to serve the needs of `ll groups including cyclists. Hn | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
practice is usually quicker. I understand people's impatience with | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
the grinding process of consultation and negotiation but it is practice | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
`` but in practice it is quhcker than ramming things through, which | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
causes backlashes and delay. Some plans for future superhighw`ys are | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
to be scrapped and the routds redrawn. London's streets could be | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
on the verge of big changes. Sara Thornton joins us with the | :06:27. | :06:27. | |
weather. I was at Wimbledon earlier `nd | :06:28. | :06:37. | |
showers were starting to move in, clearing towards the south. They are | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
moving away all the time. For tomorrow, we are dry and thdre is a | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
fresher feel in the wake of the showers. A couple lingering first | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
thing. Temperatures, not as muddy as recent nights. Any lingering showers | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
clearing away quickly, so a dry day on the cards. Not wall`to`w`ll | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
sunshine, but we will have good bright, sunny interludes at times | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
and a top temperature of 22 Celsius, down on the last couple of days 26 | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
yesterday, 25 today. The frdsher feel starting to make itself felt. | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
As we head towards the weekdnd things are going to turn more | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
unsettled. On Thursday night into Friday, we have this area of low | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
pressure moving rain towards us Thursday will be dry, but for | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
Friday, we are talking about rain or showers potentially affecting | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
Wimbledon. Sarah Keith`Lucas has the National forecast. I will ldave you | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
with the summary. Turning more unsettled as we head | :07:33. | :07:33. | |
with the summary. Turning more unsettled as we head towards the | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
weekend. Good evening. After what has been a | :07:36. | :07:43. | |
glorious few weeks of summer sunshine for many of us, things are | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
about to change over the next 2 hours. We are seeing the change | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
marked by the weather front on the satellite image. To the south of | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
that, 25 degrees, in Bournemouth for instance, but in the north and east, | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
cooler, fresher air. That sets the scene for tomorrow. A cooler day. We | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
will have hazy sunshine on offer, although cloudier skies than we have | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
been used it over the past week Tonight we have thicker cloud | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
bringing more two spots of drizzly rain for some southern areas. Many | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
parts dry, but we have the rain heading in towards the far | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
north-west for the early hours of Wednesday. A cool night ahead. Many | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
areas in single figures towards the East of Scotland and north-east | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
England. Wednesday starts on a cool note for some others. More cloud | :08:31. | :08:31. | |
than | :08:32. | :08:32. |
