:01:10. > :01:14.criticised over the way it cared for hundreds of suspected cancer

:01:15. > :01:18.patients, two of whom died. An investigation into

:01:19. > :01:21.West Herts Hospitals NHS Trtst found a series of major errors whhch meant

:01:22. > :01:24.patients weren't treated as quickly Today a Government minister is

:01:25. > :01:29.calling for disciplinary action The trust has apologised

:01:30. > :01:34.and says new procedures are in place to ensure

:01:35. > :01:49.the mistakes never happen again It can be a terrifying time. You

:01:50. > :01:55.have suspected cancer and are waiting for an appointment to find

:01:56. > :01:58.out what's wrong. For more than 800 people in Hertfordshire, this

:01:59. > :02:01.already frightening experience turned into a nightmare. At

:02:02. > :02:02.administrative errors here `t the administrative errors here at the

:02:15. > :02:17.they had cancer, but were let down they had cancer, but were ldt down

:02:18. > :02:20.by the trust. The trust took their eye off the ball and let thdse

:02:21. > :02:24.eye off the ball and let these people down. An independent external

:02:25. > :02:25.investigation was ordered after serious administration errors came

:02:26. > :02:27.to light in 2012. Some patients serious administration errors came

:02:28. > :02:31.to light in 2012. Some patidnts have to light in 2012. Some patidnts have

:02:32. > :02:33.been seen in the national two week guidelines. Others who missdd their

:02:34. > :02:37.first appointment were not automatically offered a second, as

:02:38. > :02:40.they should have been. The trust admits these mistakes may h`ve

:02:41. > :02:41.admits these mistakes may have contributed to two deaths. The

:02:42. > :02:43.investigation report lists a contributed to two deaths. The

:02:44. > :02:45.investigation report lists ` series investigation report lists ` series

:02:46. > :02:47.of major errors, including lack of training and knowledge of the two

:02:48. > :02:51.week cancer referral guidelines, week cancer referral guidelines,

:02:52. > :02:54.inconsistencies in reviewing patient notes, referrals and patient

:02:55. > :02:58.outcomes, and a lack of clear outcomes, and a lack of cle`r

:02:59. > :03:02.management arrangements. Nobody from the trust has been disciplined. All

:03:03. > :03:06.nine executive directors involved have left their jobs. Government

:03:07. > :03:10.minister and MP Mike Penning wants to know if they are still working in

:03:11. > :03:13.the NHS. What I'm really worried about is, where are these managers

:03:14. > :03:15.about is, where are these m`nagers and senior people responsible for

:03:16. > :03:20.this absolute mess in my constituency? They seem to have

:03:21. > :03:21.managed to somewhere else in the NHS and the has to be accountabhlity and

:03:22. > :03:24.and the has to be accountability and they have to be brought to `ccount.

:03:25. > :03:28.they have to be brought to account. The trust says it has apologise to

:03:29. > :03:31.everyone affected by its mistakes and says it now has fail`safe

:03:32. > :03:36.mechanisms in place to stop such errors ever happening again. The

:03:37. > :03:40.improvements include a new HT system, a new booking system,

:03:41. > :03:42.training of staff and making sure every aspect of the improvements

:03:43. > :03:46.every aspect of the improvelents required are carried forward.

:03:47. > :03:51.Reassurance for current cancer patients but little comfort to the

:03:52. > :03:58.families of the two people who died after failing to be given the proper

:03:59. > :04:00.care they were entitled to. Yvonne joins me now. Huge mistakes by

:04:01. > :04:04.managers and it seems they `re still managers and it seems they `re still

:04:05. > :04:07.employed by the NHS. Well, this is the big question we haven't been

:04:08. > :04:11.able to find the answer to. We spoken to the trust, to NHS

:04:12. > :04:15.governing bodies, and the government minister is trying to find out as

:04:16. > :04:18.well. Nobody will say if thd managers have been disciplined or

:04:19. > :04:24.held to account at all or if they are still working for the NHS. We do

:04:25. > :04:27.know that nine executive directors left the trust after these the

:04:28. > :04:32.stakes were revealed. We don't know if they left voluntarily or not or

:04:33. > :04:34.where they are now. The MP is determined to find out wherd

:04:35. > :04:34.where they are now. The MP hs determined to find out where they

:04:35. > :04:35.determined to find out wherd they are and, most importantly, if

:04:36. > :04:37.are and, most importantly, hf they've learned from the mistakes

:04:38. > :04:40.they made while they were in Hertfordshire. He is also vdry

:04:41. > :04:45.Hertfordshire. He is also very concerned that similar admin

:04:46. > :04:47.mistakes may still be being made elsewhere in the NHS. Thanks very

:04:48. > :04:49.much. The family of a man who died

:04:50. > :04:53.after being restrained He'd gone out for a night out and

:04:54. > :05:09.just never came home. It's surreal. The Mayor's proposal to build

:05:10. > :05:12.a new airport on the Thames Estuary The so`called Boris Island is

:05:13. > :05:17.Mayor Johnson's preferred w`y of increasing aviation capacity

:05:18. > :05:20.for London and the South East. But today an independent report says

:05:21. > :05:23.any such development would have a huge impact on wildlife

:05:24. > :05:26.and the local environment. More on this now from our transport

:05:27. > :05:41.correspondent Tom Edwards, This was a report commissioned by

:05:42. > :05:44.the aviation commission to look at the environmental impact of putting

:05:45. > :05:46.an airport in the estuary on the north Kent coast at the Isle of

:05:47. > :05:51.north Kent coast at the Isld of grain and looks at the impact it

:05:52. > :05:54.would have on the wildlife, the habitat, the flood plains and what

:05:55. > :06:00.would happen to the flood levels in would happen to the flood ldvels in

:06:01. > :06:04.that area if the airport went ahead. Amongst its findings it said that a

:06:05. > :06:07.quarter of protected wildlife habitats would be lost, the cost of

:06:08. > :06:15.up to ?2 billion would be ndeded to up to ?2 billion would be needed to

:06:16. > :06:16.move wildlife. And it said the transport secretary would have to

:06:17. > :06:21.transport secretary would h`ve to make sure no alternative solutions

:06:22. > :06:24.existed. We know Heathrow and Gatwick are already options so that

:06:25. > :06:30.would be tricky. This is how that has gone down here. I think this

:06:31. > :06:35.report today is really the nail in the Coughlan for the whole Boris

:06:36. > :06:43.Island idea. It shows the devastating impact it would have on

:06:44. > :06:48.habitat, issues around birds, around flooding and the huge cost of trying

:06:49. > :06:53.to build any sort of airport there. So I really think it is the nail in

:06:54. > :06:58.the Coughlan for the whole idea. Tom, what is a city hall saxing

:06:59. > :07:02.about this? City Hall, as you'd expect, are

:07:03. > :07:07.pretty defiant about this. They think the estimates about moving ``

:07:08. > :07:10.moving the wildlife Aramu and I think this report shows that all of

:07:11. > :07:17.these obstacles could be overcome and environmentally. This is what

:07:18. > :07:18.they had to say. If you do ` large infrastructure project these days,

:07:19. > :07:23.infrastructure project thesd days, money will have to be spent on

:07:24. > :07:28.compensating for damage to habitats as you build something new. We've

:07:29. > :07:33.always quantified this much along the same way as the Airports

:07:34. > :07:36.Commission has and we built the costs into our plans. What we do

:07:37. > :07:43.disagree with them about is the total cost. We estimate the cost of

:07:44. > :07:49.compensation to be around ?0.5 billion at most. We'll find out if

:07:50. > :07:51.the history airport is allowed on to the full short list in Septdmber

:07:52. > :07:52.the history airport is allowed on to the full short list in September but

:07:53. > :07:56.we won't get any recommendations from the Davies Commission tntil

:07:57. > :08:02.from the Davies Commission until 2015. Thanks very much.

:08:16. > :08:19.Car company Vauxhall has announced 250 new jobs at its Luton plant

:08:20. > :08:23.The factory currently employs 1,200 people.

:08:24. > :08:26.The new roles are the result of over ?300 million of invdstment

:08:27. > :08:39.by the firm, which could lead to more jobs as production increases.

:08:40. > :08:43.Plans to demolish part of Smithfield market and replace it with offices

:08:44. > :08:46.and shops have been rejected by the government. The proposals were

:08:47. > :08:48.and shops have been rejected by the government. The proposals wdre made

:08:49. > :08:51.by a financial investment company but ministers say the schemd could

:08:52. > :08:56.have harmed the historic value of the area.

:08:57. > :08:59.Two London women have been accused of trying to fund jihadist fighters

:10:35. > :10:45.I miss him a lot. I've not thought of anything else since that Sunday

:10:46. > :10:47.morning. We've never cried as much. They are a family trying to come to

:10:48. > :10:51.terms with the death of their terms with the death of their

:10:52. > :10:54.youngest child. Adam was a keen pilot who had travelled to 40

:10:55. > :10:59.countries in his 30 years but it was back home in London where hd died.

:11:00. > :11:01.He'd gone out for an innocent night out and just never came homd.

:11:02. > :11:06.He'd gone out for an innocent night out and just never came home. It's

:11:07. > :11:14.surreal. It doesn't feel as though it's real at all. I keep waiting for

:11:15. > :11:16.him to walk back in the door. Adam had been out with friends and then

:11:17. > :11:20.try to get into this club. H've try to get into this club. I've

:11:40. > :11:43.called but by the time he got here, Adam had collapsed and died on the

:11:44. > :11:51.Tuesday afternoon. It makes no sense that he's not there. He was a

:11:52. > :11:56.strong, fit, healthy guy. You don't expect that the youngest melber of

:11:57. > :11:57.the family would not be there. Four men were arrested but have been

:11:58. > :11:59.released on bail. The policd men were arrested but have been

:12:05. > :12:08.what happened here on her phone They say she isn't in trouble but

:12:09. > :12:11.needs to come forward. I can't stress enough how important it is

:12:12. > :12:14.for us to understand exactly stress enough how important it is

:12:15. > :12:19.for us to understand exactly what happened and the video foot`ge is

:12:20. > :12:23.what will help us see that. They're offering a reward to anyone who can

:12:24. > :12:26.provide footage. If anyone can help with that, that would be great,

:12:27. > :12:26.provide footage. If anyone can help with that, that would be grdat, just

:12:27. > :12:29.with that, that would be great, just so we, in our own minds, wotld

:12:30. > :12:33.with that, that would be grdat, just so we, in our own minds, would know.

:12:34. > :12:37.It's really difficult. Adam's mother Sandy Herd ending that report.

:12:38. > :12:40.Nelson Mandela is already there as are Winston Churchill and

:12:41. > :12:44.And now Parliament Square is to be home to a statue of another

:12:45. > :12:47.The Chancellor George Osborne made the announcement

:12:48. > :12:50.during a trade visit to Indha, saying it will be a permanent

:12:51. > :12:53.monument to the friendship between the two countries, as our political

:12:54. > :13:04.There's been a campaign for some time for Mahatma Gandhi to be

:13:05. > :13:09.commemorated alongside figures like Nelson Mandela and it was on a visit

:13:10. > :13:11.to India that the Government saw the ideal opportunity for this

:13:12. > :13:12.announcement. I think the rdmarkable announcement. I think the rdmarkable

:13:13. > :13:16.thing about Mahatma Gandhi is that thing about Mahatma Gandhi hs that

:13:17. > :13:21.he sought to the independence of his country but he sought it through

:13:22. > :13:24.peaceful means and he transcends not only that campaign for Indian

:13:25. > :13:29.independence but actually all campaigns all over the world for

:13:30. > :13:34.democracy and freedom. And so we leave this bizarrely, an... Mahatma

:13:35. > :13:37.Gandhi lived in East London when he was a student here before a

:13:38. > :13:42.political awakening in South Africa and then his campaign of nonviolence

:13:43. > :13:44.in India which helped lead to independence. His philosophy is

:13:45. > :13:49.independence. His philosophx is universal and I think a perfect spot

:13:50. > :13:50.would be over there between Peel and Beaconsfield and just the M`ndela

:13:51. > :13:54.Beaconsfield and just the Mandela because it just reflects all the

:13:55. > :13:57.great people who are in this square. Not hidden behind the tree? No, I

:13:58. > :14:02.think we'd just have to makd sure think we'd just have to make sure

:14:03. > :14:06.its position with his back to the Supreme Court. Of course, hd was a

:14:07. > :14:08.lawyer, and his hands pointing towards Big Ben... I think ht's very

:14:09. > :14:12.towards Big Ben... I think it's very exciting and should be very much

:14:13. > :14:14.welcomed. In Southall today, this recognition seemed to be widely

:14:15. > :14:17.appreciated. It's great. This recognition seemed to be widely

:14:18. > :14:19.appreciated. It's great. Thhs is our appreciated. It's great. Thhs is our

:14:20. > :14:25.national leader. It's great. Thank you, British Government. Evdrybody

:14:26. > :14:28.should know about Mahatma G`ndhi. He's a great guy. He loved everybody

:14:29. > :14:36.He's a great guy. He loved dverybody and brought peace for everybody. No

:14:37. > :14:39.violence, fruitfulness, kindness. The sculptor Philip Jackson has now

:14:40. > :14:44.been approached. His works hnclude been approached. His works include

:14:45. > :14:49.this memorial to RAF bomber command, unveiled by the Queen two ydars ago.

:14:50. > :14:53.There is just one existing statue of Mahatma Gandhi in London, here in

:14:54. > :14:56.Tavistock Square near Euston. It's hoped the new one will be p`id for

:14:57. > :15:01.hoped the new one will be paid for through donations and sponsorship

:15:02. > :15:03.and be ready next year, marking the centenary of his return to Hndia

:15:04. > :15:03.and be ready next year, marking the centenary of his return to India and

:15:04. > :15:10.centenary of his return to Hndia and his pursuit of his cause of

:15:11. > :15:14.nonviolence. Still to come: Following the accident at the Apollo

:15:15. > :15:16.Theatre, this show has now moved to its third home at the Gielgtd

:15:17. > :15:18.Theatre. We talk to the playwright Theatre. We talk to the playwright

:15:19. > :15:22.and director about their ch`llenges and director about their ch`llenges

:15:23. > :15:27.and excitement in restating this magical and moving production.

:15:28. > :15:29.Now, when this paramedic's car came crashing through the window

:15:30. > :15:33.of a south`west London office, it was a surprise ` to say the least

:15:34. > :15:37.The business, as fate would have it, was an insurance company

:15:38. > :15:51.The white it was the rapid response vehicle that needed its own rescue.

:15:52. > :15:56.The paramedic inside was heading to The paramedic inside was heading to

:15:57. > :15:57.an emergency nearby when her car hit another and ploughed through this

:15:58. > :16:04.shop front window in Wandsworth. The shop front window in Wandsworth The

:16:05. > :16:08.car came, as you see, through here. There was a big metal post there,

:16:09. > :16:10.which flew over there, and then the car carried on in the officd

:16:11. > :16:10.which flew over there, and then the car carried on in the office and

:16:11. > :16:18.car carried on in the officd and came to a halt just here. It stopped

:16:19. > :16:20.right there. I think that's a lot of the antifreeze from the radiator.

:16:21. > :16:24.the antifreeze from the radhator. Steve thinks that if the customer

:16:25. > :16:26.hadn't come in to talk about an insurance policy, he and his

:16:27. > :16:29.colleague would have been right in colleague would have been right in

:16:30. > :16:31.the firing line. My boss was at the counter serving somebody and I was

:16:32. > :16:33.trying to find a file in the counter serving somebody and I was

:16:34. > :16:35.trying to find a file in thd filing trying to find a file in thd filing

:16:36. > :16:36.cabinet. So five minutes earlier, we probably would have both been
