the BBC News Channel in just is a few minutes too. Now on BBC One, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
time for the news where you are. Good evening. | :00:00. | :00:20. | |
British Airways is to be sued over claims that one of its pilots | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
sexually abused children during stopovers in East Africa. Simon Wood | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
from Hertfordshire was dew to appear in court last August over further | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
allegations of assaulting an 8`year`old girl in the UK but the | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
pilot was found dead after being hit by a train. | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
British Airways flies nearly 100,000 people every day of the year. That's | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
why we can also bring help to those who need it most. | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
British Airways is involved with charities around the world. Showing | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
in on`board videos some of which the good work of its staff. But to its | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
embarrassment one of its employees was using BA's charitable work as a | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
cover to allegedly abuse children. 54`year`old Simon Wood was a First | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
Officer on long haul flights. For more than a decade he regularly flew | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
out to East Africa, stopping over in Nairobi. It is claimed that between | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
2003 and last year, he abused 16 children in Kenya, Tanzania and | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
Uganda. The allegations ranging from inappropriate touching to rape. One | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
of his alleged victims was as young as five. This London lawyer has been | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
out to Kenya to talk to some of them. It is devastating. It's life | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
changing. They all saw this person as somebody that could help them, a | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
respected person at the airline able to assist them and went on to abuse | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
that. Those victim are now suing BA for alleged negligence. This is one | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
of the orphanages that Simon Wood visited in Kenya. It is claimed he | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
was found with indecent photos ten years ago at a charity and was asked | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
to leave. The question is, did BA know? Simon Wood was found dead near | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
Potters Bar station on August 18th last year. He'd been struck by a | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
train. 12 days later he was dew at Southwark k by a train. 12 days | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
later he was dew at Southwark Crown Court `` due at Southwark Crown | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
Court to face further allegations, including a charge of indecent | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
assault on an 8`year`old girl in the UK. Today an inquest found he | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
committed suicide. He felt it was his only way out, according to the | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
coroner. British Airways said it couldn't go into detail because of | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
pending litigation. But in a statement said: | :02:48. | :03:01. | |
The case is expected to go to the High Court later this year. | :03:02. | :03:11. | |
London's population is expected to rise by pected to go to the High | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
Court later this year. London's population is expected to | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
rise by 11 million ` to 11 million by 2050, putting further pressure on | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
homes, energy, schools and transport. The Mayor of London | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
outlined his thoughts on how the capital needed to change. It | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
includes building 600 new schools and colleges and many more homes | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
each year. Three Muslim organisations including | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
the Finsbury Park Mosque in North London are having their bank | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
accounts closed by HSBC. The mosque described the move as Islam phobic | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
but the bank dismissed claims that they are being targeted because of | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
their religious or political affiliations. It has indicated that | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
it thinks doing business with them is too risky. | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
Anas Al`Tikriti run as think`tank on Islamic issues in London. He's been | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
told by HSBC that his personal and business accounts and those of his | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
wife and two children will close in two months. He says the bank hasn't | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
given him a proper explanation. Those organisations are mostly | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
charities. The link is that many of them, if not all of them, are quite | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
active on the case of Palestine, so I am left to speculate that this is | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
why. And that would be a great shame if that were true. The Finsbury Park | :04:32. | :04:41. | |
Mosque in North London and a bolt```` bolt`based charity were | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
given notice that their accounts would be closed. The mosque made | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
headline as decade ago because of its connections with rebel cleric | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
Abu Hamza. The letters that we received and all the letters have | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
that been sent clearly doesn't give an absolute reason to why it was | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
closed in the first place, so it could lead us only to explain why | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
there isn't reason given. We believe it is an Islamophobic campaign | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
targeting Muslim charities in the UK. It is a good community mosque, | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
good facilities, a nice vibe and the local community use the meeting | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
rooms there. They've been happy to take money from the mosque in the | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
last ten years. They need to explain why it is not acceptable for that | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
mosque to barb with them. E in the last ten years. They need to explain | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
why it is not acceptable for that mosque to barb with | :05:39. | :05:55. | |
The Charity Commission has confirmed that it is not investigating any of | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
the organisations involved, and says that if the charities don't have a | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
relationship with a bank, it could harm public trust in their work. | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
Big changes to West London's hospitals came a step closer today | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
with the go`ahead given to plans which will see around half of | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
Charing Cross and St Mary's hospitals sold off. Health bosses | :06:23. | :06:30. | |
say care will improve, as our political correspondent reports. | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
The chanting the posters and the leaflets are a familiar sight in | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
knees parts of the capital. This has been a long`running campaign about | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
huge changes to the hospitals. Plans to close or downgrade two A at | :06:47. | :06:54. | |
Hammersmith and Charing Cross. They saved my husband's life. He had | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
emergency surgery and was there for ten days. He was able to ask for | :06:59. | :07:07. | |
advice whenever he wants. We've been campaigning. If you stand outside | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
Charing Cross Hospital with a petition, thousands of people come | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
up to you and say this hospital saved my life. It is part of a | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
reshaping of services that will see other West London A go. It is not | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
just Hammersmith and Central Middlesex but Charing Cross and | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
Ealing. It is unprecedented. The biggest experiment in the NHS's | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
history to take away this many. I think it is madness. Today the board | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
of imperial healthcare voted through their plans. Money will be spent on | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
new service but large parts of the Charing Cross and St Mary's slights | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
be sold off to pay for it. They a range of facilities to keep people | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
well, allow access to emergency care. At Hammersmith there'll be an | :07:54. | :08:01. | |
urgent care centre. This is the sort of future health bosses are | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
promising. Katie is in charge of cancer care at Imperial. At this | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
centre patients can get all of their tests and consultations done in one | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
day. Change is hard but I'm hoping if we can show what it could be | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
like, that will enable people to show that the future is better than | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
they've got now. Hammersmith A shuts in a month. Rebuilding work at | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
Charing Cross and St Mary's will start in three months' time. | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
It was a glorious today, temperatures into the mid 20s | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
Celsius. Good evening, we had a bit of cloud | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
in the morning but that broke up nicely. Through the morning plenty | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
of cloud and suddenly clear skies. Temperatures rising into the mid 20s | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
Celsius. This evening and overnight, another | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
dry one. Light winds from the west. Cooler and fresher than the last few | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
nights. 102015 in the capital. Sher than the last few nights. 102015 in | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
the capital. Cool `` 15 in the capital. | :09:12. | :09:12. | |
Tomorrow, another good day coming up. Plenty of sunshine. But low | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
pressure starting to make inroads from the west. G up. Plenty of | :09:18. | :09:22. | |

Clouds will `` skies will cloud up in the afternoon. A few showers, | :09:25. | :09:32. | |
heavy in the north of the region. 24`25 | :09:33. | :09:34. | |

Hello again. Will it be happy campers or happy gardeners? You get | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
different responses when you mention rain at this time of the year. I | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
will try to remain neutral and talk of an increasing chance of showers | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
developing tomorrow. There'll be further mentions or rain for Friday | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
and over the weekend. Most of the showers have been over northern | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
parts but they will work southwards through tonight. And at the same | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
time begin to turn | :10:06. | :10:06. |
