:01:11. > :01:12.and welcome to the programmd. The first of the Government's
:01:13. > :01:16.flagship University Technical Collegds
:01:17. > :01:19.in London is closing its doors, Hackney University Technical College
:01:20. > :01:25.was one of over a dozen set up in the country
:01:26. > :01:27.as a pioneering training centre for But due to a lack of applic`nts the
:01:28. > :01:43.governors have decided to close it. In a moment, we will look at what
:01:44. > :01:45.implications it will have on local people's chances of benefithng from
:01:46. > :01:54.the industry. This is what the government would
:01:55. > :01:59.like the future of education to look like, this college was opendd in
:02:00. > :02:03.Hertfordshire by Michael Gove last week. This week, the collegd in
:02:04. > :02:08.Hackney made the decision to close after it only managed to attract 29
:02:09. > :02:13.students out of a target of 75 for year ten. It was a recruitmdnt drive
:02:14. > :02:19.that the principal concedes was always going to be difficult. Many
:02:20. > :02:23.students, families and studdnts choose to stay put at the end of
:02:24. > :02:28.year nine and continue their education in good and outst`nding
:02:29. > :02:34.schools, and not to make a change. It is an unusual age at which to
:02:35. > :02:38.change schools. Do you mean that the system is flawed, it was always
:02:39. > :02:42.going to be difficult to get those students to come here? I am not
:02:43. > :02:47.saying the system is flawed, but it is challenging to encourage young
:02:48. > :02:52.people to make a choice that is different. But those who have made
:02:53. > :02:56.the choice are positive. Sttdents like Francisco, who will now have to
:02:57. > :03:02.go out where to do his A`levels This is the control centre. Despite
:03:03. > :03:07.the fact that his course is closing, he has every faith in the concept. I
:03:08. > :03:12.believe that this is the future of education, they give us the soft
:03:13. > :03:21.skills and communication skhlls we need, to learn how to network, which
:03:22. > :03:25.I will not get at a new school. Down the road, these are the cre`tives
:03:26. > :03:28.who helped support the colldge. Dealings that they forged whth
:03:29. > :03:36.people like us are quite progressive. They allow the kids to
:03:37. > :03:42.develop skills in the real world that normally they would not do in
:03:43. > :03:48.the stability of a classrool. For some, specialising in technology at
:03:49. > :03:53.14 is too late. We need to be looking much further down the chain,
:03:54. > :03:58.all the way back to primary school, getting children thinking about what
:03:59. > :04:03.they want to do. Francisco hs confident he is a coder in the
:04:04. > :04:08.making, but how many others will be able to follow him?
:04:09. > :04:12.Is that really going to havd any implication for the booling
:04:13. > :04:22.We will not know for five or ten years, because that is when those
:04:23. > :04:28.young people could enter thd workforce properly. There are many
:04:29. > :04:34.technology jobs to be had in London. But there is a skills short`ge, one
:04:35. > :04:38.of the problems is that somd people think that the technology jobs have
:04:39. > :04:41.been filled from people outside London, because the governmdnt has
:04:42. > :04:48.made it easier to get a Vis` if you are in the industry. What they also
:04:49. > :04:52.need to do is convince young people that this is an exciting industry,
:04:53. > :05:00.they can start their own colpanies. It seems that that is not h`ppening.
:05:01. > :05:04.One of the criticisms is th`t it is a short`term scheme that make the
:05:05. > :05:07.politicians look good, but hn the long`term, it has not had an effect
:05:08. > :05:14.on Londoners. Stay with us this evening,
:05:15. > :05:16.as there's lots more to comd Criticism
:05:17. > :05:19.of a plan to spend public c`sh to rehouse the royal barge which led
:05:20. > :05:29.the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant. A boy who was left almost completely
:05:30. > :05:32.blind for the first five ye`rs of his life has received
:05:33. > :05:35.an undisclosed sum of money The parents of Billy Wells from
:05:36. > :05:41.High Wycombe raised concerns with their doctor and health vishtor more
:05:42. > :05:44.than 70 times, Buckinghamshire NHS Hospital Trust
:05:45. > :06:01.has now admitted liability. Billy Wells spent his first five
:06:02. > :06:05.years almost entirely unabld to see. He would drop his bottle but could
:06:06. > :06:11.not pick it up again, he wotld watch TV one centimetre from the screen.
:06:12. > :06:15.We made our concerns to the GP, they kept reassuring us he was fhne, it
:06:16. > :06:21.was just that he wanted to hnteract with the TV. Why he would not pick
:06:22. > :06:25.up his bottle, he was lazy, he wanted to be waited on. The family
:06:26. > :06:29.pestered, they visited health professionals more than 70 times,
:06:30. > :06:34.there were promised he would be sent for tests, but nothing happdned
:06:35. > :06:39.Years later, the referral form for sound at the bottom of the health
:06:40. > :06:45.visitor's bag. A trip to Disneyland Paris changed everything. Wd took
:06:46. > :06:52.photographs, we had them developed, and he was not looking at one shot.
:06:53. > :06:56.My wife said, he is blind. @ visit to the optician, his blindndss was
:06:57. > :07:01.confirmed. They got to the stage where he could see something, he
:07:02. > :07:06.said, I can see. I said, whx did you not tell me I could not see? He
:07:07. > :07:11.said, I did not know they wdre supposed to work. The NHS Trust
:07:12. > :07:12.admitted they failed to spot his blindness and several other
:07:13. > :07:29.conditions. Despite all of this, Ely is now top
:07:30. > :07:34.of his class at school. The family is now looking forward. Without my
:07:35. > :07:40.dad helping me every step of the way, I would still not be able to
:07:41. > :07:49.see today. I would still be walking into doorframes. Still needhng help
:07:50. > :07:56.with every single little thhng. I cannot thank my dad enough.
:07:57. > :07:58.A 22`year`old man has been `rrested on suspicion of terrorism at
:07:59. > :08:01.Scotland Yard say the suspect, who was travelling to Istanbul,
:08:02. > :08:05.was held on Wednesday afternoon by officers from Bedfordshire Police.
:08:06. > :08:07.The man is being held in South London on suspicion
:08:08. > :08:13.of being involved in the prdparation of acts to commit terrorism.

:08:23. > :08:26.the ?50 billion project, and if London will gain more from HS2 than
:08:27. > :08:33.Now, has this been the week that the Mayor's dream
:08:34. > :08:36.of building an airport in the Thames Estuary has finally been sunk?
:08:37. > :08:38.Four independent reports for the Airports Commission have
:08:39. > :08:42.raised serious questions ovdr its cost, its environmental impact
:08:43. > :08:45.and implications for local transport links.
:08:46. > :08:57.Despite that, City Hall rem`ins optimistic, as we're about to hear.
:08:58. > :09:04.The report is published by the Airports Commission, they h`ve been
:09:05. > :09:08.strong and critical and raised concerns, presumably you will ignore
:09:09. > :09:14.that and concentrate on a h`ndful of positives? I am going to trx to
:09:15. > :09:19.explain that what has been going on is that last December the commission
:09:20. > :09:24.organised that the estuary proposal had the greatest scale of bdnefits
:09:25. > :09:29.of any of the other proposals put to it, but it wanted to do somd studies
:09:30. > :09:35.to see if there were any show stoppers that would prevent it from
:09:36. > :09:39.going ahead, so it commissioned work in four areas. We have seen that
:09:40. > :09:44.evidence put up for comment, this is not their final view. Natur`lly
:09:45. > :09:49.because they are looking for problems to see if they can get over
:09:50. > :09:53.them, they read in a fairly depressing way, but what thd reports
:09:54. > :10:02.show is that there are no bhg problems. What it actually says is
:10:03. > :10:05.that they have examined it, the problems can all be overcomd, but
:10:06. > :10:08.when you look at them all together, they appear to present a substantial
:10:09. > :10:14.risk in the order of billions of pounds to appropriately man`ge. They
:10:15. > :10:21.are all surmountable, but together, it is a no`go. The important thing
:10:22. > :10:27.is that they are all surmountable. In any large project such as this,
:10:28. > :10:30.there is going to be risk, when you compare this to what has bedn
:10:31. > :10:35.proposed at Heathrow. At He`throw, you have to take into account the
:10:36. > :10:39.huge risk to the education of children, the health of people,
:10:40. > :10:46.increased risk of strokes, heart attacks and so on that, of having a
:10:47. > :10:51.new airport at Heathrow. Thd risk, of course there is risk, but they
:10:52. > :10:54.can be managed. The Airports Commission has not said any of these
:10:55. > :11:01.things, these are the reports of consultants. Which are taken into
:11:02. > :11:07.consideration. Our view is they have no choice morally and legally, and
:11:08. > :11:13.in terms of their responsibhlity... You ignore the fact that is more
:11:14. > :11:50.risk than opportunity, more cost and risk to the taxpayer,
:11:51. > :11:52.Commission, that this option should continue. People will be surprised
:11:53. > :12:01.at your optimism, but we have to hear the result in a few months
:12:02. > :12:03.It's among London's busiest bridges, and a major transport link hn
:12:04. > :12:06.So, no surprises, you can expect major disruption around Putney
:12:07. > :12:15.Bridge, which will close to traffic for three months from Mondax
:12:16. > :12:24.Yes, Putney Bridge is falling down, falling down. Rather, it is not
:12:25. > :12:29.because the council will spdnd 1.5 million bringing it back up to
:12:30. > :12:32.scratch. It has decided to do this in one go, because it says that is
:12:33. > :12:37.what the local communities want There will be consequences, with
:12:38. > :12:43.upstream and downstream. Putney Bridge, this morning. Soon,
:12:44. > :12:48.it will look rather different. The clues are already on the brhdge
:12:49. > :12:54.When the barriers go up, it will close. Cars, buses and lorrhes will
:12:55. > :13:01.not be able to cross. Many bus routes will have to stop on one side
:13:02. > :13:07.and start again on the other. Today, passengers were bracing thelselves
:13:08. > :13:14.for the impact. Shut the brhdge and then walk. Probably around 25
:13:15. > :13:19.minutes. It will be a huge struggle for everybody. I am travellhng to
:13:20. > :13:23.High Street Kensington, I al going to take the bicycle. It is ` big
:13:24. > :13:28.thing, it has never happened before. The question for thd High
:13:29. > :13:34.Street, will it lose shoppers? It will affect the traffic and some
:13:35. > :13:39.people from Fulham coming over, because you do get customers from
:13:40. > :13:43.Fulham. We have done everything for local businesses, we have asked how
:13:44. > :13:48.they would like it done, thdy have said they would like it as puickly
:13:49. > :13:51.as possible. For travellers who need to get across, we have workdd very
:13:52. > :13:55.closely with Transport for London to make sure that if you are travelling
:13:56. > :14:01.by bus, there is no extra cost involved. We hope we have done
:14:02. > :14:04.everything we can. There will be inconvenience some, that is
:14:05. > :14:11.unavoidable, I am afraid. Does that mean traffic will cause jams at the
:14:12. > :14:16.two nearest bridges, Hammersmith and Wandsworth? It is difficult to
:14:17. > :14:21.predict, but it is going to be busy, because one major Bridge will be
:14:22. > :14:26.closed. We are entering the summer, so it will be a bit quieter, which
:14:27. > :14:29.will help. We urge drivers to think about alternatives, to spre`d the
:14:30. > :14:34.demand across the bridges. The reason for the work can be seen on
:14:35. > :14:42.the road surface. The closure starts at 5am on Monday. It will l`st until
:14:43. > :14:48.October. Perhaps the best advice is wait and
:14:49. > :14:53.see what happens on Monday `nd Tuesday, and if things are bad, just
:14:54. > :14:57.your route. Maybe even conshder an alternative form of transport.
:14:58. > :14:59.Cyclists will still be able to use this bridge provided they gdt off
:15:00. > :15:14.and walk. A row's broken out over plans to
:15:15. > :15:16.spend a million pounds of taxpayer's money on houshng
:15:17. > :15:19.the Royal barge, Gloriana. It led the Diamond Jubilee Pageant
:15:20. > :15:21.along the Thames and was buhlt especially for the occasion.
:15:22. > :15:24.But now there's criticism over Richmond Council's plans regarding
:15:25. > :15:30.the cost and location for the boat. Helen Drew reports.
:15:31. > :15:35.With roars including Sir Stdve Redgrave and Matthew Pinsent the
:15:36. > :15:39.Gloriana was a focal point of the river pageant. But, now it needs a
:15:40. > :15:43.home, and that could be in the borough of Richmond. The man who
:15:44. > :15:48.built the Gloriana is from the area, and the local council has jtst voted
:15:49. > :15:53.to potentially contribute up to ?1 million to the cost of building a
:15:54. > :15:57.boat house here It encouragds more people to locate here, that is going
:15:58. > :16:01.to have a lot of benefit for the local economy, so I think the
:16:02. > :16:05.pleasure it will give peopld, and that people will be able to see this
:16:06. > :16:09.wonderful crafts man ship. Not even in the area is in favour of this
:16:10. > :16:13.When we have seen in this borough in the most deprived ward in the
:16:14. > :16:19.borough, a library close in recent years as part of austerity, in a
:16:20. > :16:25.time of austerity, is it a good use of taxpayers' money. Concerns don't
:16:26. > :16:32.stop there. The proposed site is Orleans Gardens. It is a picturesque
:16:33. > :16:35.location, directly across the water from Ham House. Many locals are
:16:36. > :16:40.saying the plans could ruin the area. A petition against thd plans
:16:41. > :16:44.already has 1200 signatures. It will not remain the same, you ard going
:16:45. > :16:50.to change that space forever. Nor me, you are losing something you
:16:51. > :16:54.can't really replace. It wotld be devastating to the ecology `nd the
:16:55. > :16:59.tree, the wildlife. Richmond council is keen to stress nothing is
:17:00. > :17:09.definite and it is holding ` public consultation to the end of @ugust.
:17:10. > :17:12.Still to come. They were big in the '80s but could video arcades be
:17:13. > :17:20.making a come back? Helen Drew reports.
:17:21. > :17:22.A real mix of sport for us this evening, including motor racing and
:17:23. > :17:26.a terrific story about canoding Sara is here to tell all.
:17:27. > :17:29.Thanks Asad. Yes, there is lore to this weekend than the World Cup
:17:30. > :17:32.final. We start with Anne Dhckins from Surrey, who was left ddvastated
:17:33. > :17:35.after her passion for mount`in bike racing was ended with a debhlitating
:17:36. > :17:38.back injury. But the mum of two volunteered at the London Olympics,
:17:39. > :17:41.and a chance meeting saw her take up canoeing, and this weekend she's
:17:42. > :17:51.defending her European titld. Jenna Hawkey has been to meet her.
:17:52. > :17:58.Anne was an endurance mount`in biker focussing on 24 hours race being a
:17:59. > :18:02.spinal injury left her with very little feeling or strength hn her
:18:03. > :18:06.right leg It was soul`destroying. It is not just about a competition it
:18:07. > :18:10.is a way of life. All my frhends, my social life was about cycling, and
:18:11. > :18:16.suddenly, din't have that any more. One year later a chance encounter
:18:17. > :18:20.with a fellow Games Maker g`ve the 47`year`old the chance to try
:18:21. > :18:26.something different. Becausd we were both wearing Games Maker unhforms we
:18:27. > :18:34.sat down and starting chatthng. He was talk about how he was a canoe
:18:35. > :18:38.coach an they were getting ` performance centre, I said xou can
:18:39. > :18:42.have me if you wanted. He ptt his coffee down and he grilled le for
:18:43. > :18:46.about half an hour on my injury weak leg, and I remember sitting in
:18:47. > :18:52.the velodrome going "This is odd. I think I have been invited the try
:18:53. > :18:56.out for paracanoe." But the trials were seven weeks away I said this is
:18:57. > :19:01.going to sound weird but I can't canoe but I really want to be on the
:19:02. > :19:07.GB squad in seven week, can you help me? Nand is exactly what thdy did.
:19:08. > :19:13.And within a year, Dickens was the world silver medallist in the 2 0
:19:14. > :19:15.metre sprint. The The Europdan Championships was his fifth race
:19:16. > :19:19.ever, so it didn't really m`tter how I did, but to go this year, into a
:19:20. > :19:23.European Championships being European champion is a lot of
:19:24. > :19:27.pressure there. The European Championships are currently under
:19:28. > :19:31.way in Germany, Dickens is safely through to tomorrow's final, yet
:19:32. > :19:44.another step in her journey from Games Maker to Paralympic hopeful.
:19:45. > :19:46.Hawkey has been to meet her. Good luck to Anne this weekdnd.
:19:47. > :19:49.Now after passing a medical yesterday, Arsenal have confirmed
:19:50. > :19:51.the signing of Barcelona striker Alexis Sanchez. The Gunners are
:19:52. > :19:54.thought to have paid around ?35 million for
:19:55. > :19:57.Good luck to Anne this weekdnd. Now after passing a medical
:19:58. > :20:09.yesterday, Arsenal have confirmed Now fencing is a sport which
:20:10. > :20:12.Great Britain hasn't won an Olympic medal in for almost half a century.
:20:13. > :20:14.But now we have our first ever European Chalpion `
:20:15. > :20:18.and he's from Barnet. 23 year`old James Davis won gold in
:20:19. > :20:21.Strasbourg last month, and when the World Championships begin in Russia
:20:22. > :20:23.next week hopes are high he'll make it to the top of the podium again.
:20:24. > :20:37.Chris Slegg has more. This was the moment James D`vis
:20:38. > :20:41.became Great Britain's first fencing European champion. In Strasbourg
:20:42. > :20:46.last month. Today, in north London he was getting himself in pdrfect
:20:47. > :20:51.shape for next week's World Championships. I am getting things
:20:52. > :20:55.done. I need to get it done before believe. Get the last minutd
:20:56. > :20:59.treatment in. Today's training session was rare
:21:00. > :21:03.visit to the capital, in November James left his home in Barndt to
:21:04. > :21:07.live in San Francisco where he is training with the top US fencers I
:21:08. > :21:12.love it out there, training is amazing, the guys are world class,
:21:13. > :21:16.they are such a big set up, so many kids do it. What has been the
:21:17. > :21:20.hardest thing to adapt to? Some of the expressions? The expressions
:21:21. > :21:24.definitely. I am refusing to say soccer, they are not getting that
:21:25. > :21:28.one out of me, they all laugh when I say I am going to the loo. Xou are
:21:29. > :21:31.Great Britain's first ever Duropean fencing champion. When you were on
:21:32. > :21:36.the podium, receiving that ledal, how did that feel? For me, that is
:21:37. > :21:41.the most nerve`wracking part of it all. I mean I loved it. I w`s just
:21:42. > :21:44.in the zone. You have been puite brave to say a gold medal at Rio is
:21:45. > :21:49.what you are aiming for. Wh`t will be the most important thing over the
:21:50. > :21:54.next two years? If we were to select tomorrow, I would get selected. Two
:21:55. > :21:59.years anything could have. Xou can have a dreadful season or a career
:22:00. > :22:04.ending injury. If I can stax that the level, keep pushing mysdlf,
:22:05. > :22:08.fingers crossed we will be `ble to talk again, as Olympic champion that
:22:09. > :22:12.would be the lovely part of my dream It is look ever more real if James
:22:13. > :22:17.Davis can become World Champion in Russia.
:22:18. > :22:21.Good luck to James, and to `ll the Germans and Argentineans we
:22:22. > :22:25.have living here in London for the World Cup Final on Sunday.
:22:26. > :22:27.That's all the sport, back to you, Asad.
:22:28. > :22:29.If you're around my age, you'll remember video arcadds being
:22:30. > :22:35.all the rage in the 80's with games like Pac`Man
:22:36. > :22:37.and Donkey Kong wowing us all. But when games consoles arrhved
:22:38. > :22:39.everything changed, with people preferring to play at home.
:22:40. > :22:47.But now, as Wendy Hurrell has been fhnding
:22:48. > :22:53.out, a man in West London h`s decided to bring the arcade back.
:22:54. > :23:00.Outside the trains rumble p`st the industrial estate in Acton.
:23:01. > :23:04.Inside, bleeps and booms echo from another era. It really is the last
:23:05. > :23:08.of its kind. Probably the fhrst and last arcade of the 21st centuriment
:23:09. > :23:16.over here in the UK any way. It is called the heart of gaming or the
:23:17. > :23:19.Hog to regular, a room filldd with carefully repaired machines taken
:23:20. > :23:22.from arcades long since closed down Most of the kids started galing
:23:23. > :23:27.after the arcades were pretty much gone. So to them, this is khnd of a
:23:28. > :23:31.new experience. But to others, it goes a bit deeper. Nostalgi` is
:23:32. > :23:35.something that generally hits you. It is not something you are really
:23:36. > :23:39.physically immerse yourself in, but here, you know, for people who
:23:40. > :23:43.haven't seen games in maybe over 20 years they can walk in and see them
:23:44. > :23:49.again. Not only that they c`n play them. None an age where gamhng with
:23:50. > :23:52.often a solitary past time this created some interesting social
:23:53. > :23:56.interactions You get to plax with some people who are passion`te about
:23:57. > :24:01.the game, and just really wdlcoming, great community. Bankers or people
:24:02. > :24:05.like taxi drive, any walk of life will come down and it is good to mix
:24:06. > :24:09.and mingle with different ctltures. We have had kids turn up with their
:24:10. > :24:13.parents as young as seven or eight and people who are reaching their
:24:14. > :24:19.50s. You pay at the door rather than into slots and just play as if it is
:24:20. > :24:23.1984. That is a great idea. Now the
:24:24. > :24:28.weather with Sarah. It is a grey mixed sort of day today. It has been
:24:29. > :24:34.fairly cloudy and gloomy. Some opt my. For the weekend. Overnight west
:24:35. > :24:37.stick with the cloud. It will be mild but that kicks off the weekend
:24:38. > :24:42.weather. Things will improvd as we head through Saturday, but we have
:24:43. > :24:45.had the slow`moving weather front across us, bringing plenty of cloud
:24:46. > :24:49.and we have drizzly rain, still just to the south of London, a fdw spots
:24:50. > :24:54.of light rain to be seen out of this weather front. For most of ts things
:24:55. > :25:00.are improving. So we end thd day on a dry note. You could see one or two
:25:01. > :25:05.spots of rain, but for most the blanket of cloud staying thdre, so
:25:06. > :25:08.things will be mild. Temper`tures of round 11`16 degrees first thing
:25:09. > :25:12.Saturday morning. We will h`ve that cloud round during the mornhng but
:25:13. > :25:14.as when he had through the course of Saturday, the sunshine will just try
:25:15. > :25:18.to breakthrough, so I think by the afternoon, the cloud thinning and
:25:19. > :25:21.breaking, allowing some spells of sunshine. Where the sunshind comes
:25:22. > :25:26.through it will lift the temperatures and form we will feel
:25:27. > :25:30.muggy, sticky with highs up to 6 degrees and those temperatures
:25:31. > :25:34.enough to spark off one or two isolated showers, and perhaps the
:25:35. > :25:40.odd thunderstorm during the course of Saturday afternoon. So for many
:25:41. > :25:44.places it will stay dry. A dry, early evening but the cloud
:25:45. > :25:48.increases and the rain heads in There will be a period of wdt
:25:49. > :25:51.weather and it is round first thing Sunday morning. In on Sundax an
:25:52. > :25:55.improving story, the rain clears away and we are left with stnny
:25:56. > :25:59.spell, still a chance of a shower but it will feel freshen on Sunday.
:26:00. > :26:02.Temperatures round about 23 degrees or so.
:26:03. > :26:06.So that is how it looks over the next couple of day, we have got a
:26:07. > :26:09.muggy day during the course of Saturday, fresherror through Sunday
:26:10. > :26:13.and that fresher theme conthnues right into next week. Thank you
:26:14. > :26:18.Sarah. Before we go a reminder of tonight's
:26:19. > :26:22.main news headline. Tens of thousands more people in England
:26:23. > :26:29.could be eligible for weight loss surgery in a bid to tackle `n
:26:30. > :26:34.epidemic of type 2 diabetes. Gastric bands would help reduce
:26:35. > :26:39.complications linked to obesity Binyamin Netanyahu has said he won't
