sunshine in again. That is it for now, now time for the news where you | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
are. Train passengers have had to contend | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
with the first of three weekend part-closures of a | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
key London to Scotland rail route. Work on an ?81 million improvement | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
plan means the West Coast Line will be closed between Euston station | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
and Hemel Hempstead this weekend. It was quiet at Houston today. | :00:28. | :00:40. | |
Evenly so, with hardly any passengers and even fewer trains. It | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
is exactly what Network Rail wanted to happen this weekend. We are | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
renewing the track and the signalling and the only way we can | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
do it is by shutting down the railway completely for a very long | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
time which would inconvenience a lot of people, or else do it in | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
piecemeal blocks. This is what is causing all the disruption, and ?81 | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
million project to replace power lines, cable and track at Watford. | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
When it is finished, it is hoped passengers won't notice anything | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
other than a trouble-free journey. So for the next three weekends, | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
there will be just this hourly Virgin service to and from the | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
Midlands diverted along the Chiltern line. Network Rail says the warnings | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
to passengers have been heeded for the most part. I travel to Euston | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
station 34 times a week and I have not seen any leaflets or anything | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
come around. I was supposed to be going back to Liverpool, I have not | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
realise there are any train so I will have to delay my trip to next | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
week. If you are using London Midland, this is how you get in and | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
out of the capital, bus services from Hemel Stansted to Stanmore | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
chewed station. -- Hemel hamster. What network rail are worried about | :01:45. | :01:55. | |
is Monday, when there will be reduced services well into the | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
afternoon. People are being told that their timetables will not be | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
their regular ones. So the advice may be well worn but it applies more | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
than ever, check before you travel and be prepared to wait. | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
A three year-old girl has died after being hit by a bus in Luton. | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
The collision happened just before 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon in Bury | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
Beds police are appealing for anyone who saw the incident to come forward | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
-- in Bury Park. The family of a Hackney pensioner | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
who was abused by a nurse are calling on the Government to | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
install CCTV in all care homes. The family | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
of Bridget Rees secretly installed a camera at the the Seacole Nursing | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
Home in Hoxton, where they filmed The moment a frail 92-year-old was | :02:34. | :02:47. | |
abused by her care home nurse. Bridget Rees was repeatedly | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
manhandled in the Mary Seacole Nursing Home in Hackney last year. I | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
went in one day and she said a nurse punch me in the face. And I said | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
what did you do then? She said I punched her back. Her family became | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
suspicious and secretly installed CCTV, hidden in this clock, in the | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
NHS run home. There they filmed her being treated roughly by this lady. | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
The slapping, the poking. Wood slapping her arm down. She has a big | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
cut on her arm and she is slapping it down. Bellow was found guilty of | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
ill-treatment and wilful neglect and given four months in prison. After | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
being moved to a new care home, Bridget Rees died of pneumonia but | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
her family have lodged a petition and are calling on the government to | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
install CCTV in all care homes across the country. If we had been | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
able to have the CCTV camera all the way through, we definitely would | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
have. The sector regulator are exploring whether CCTV might be used | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
in future to stamp out abuse at care homes. At the same time, though, | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
they recognise they have a responsibility to protect people's | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
privacy. Things like CCTV are absolutely no substitute for | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
well-managed, well-trained care staff, providing day-to-day care to | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
those individuals will stop the Merry Secombe care home did not have | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
anyone available for interview, but in a statement they told us that | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
following the incident they carried out a full investigation. They say | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
they have now reviewed their recruitment policy and in short all | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
staff are trained in safeguarding adults and safe practice. For Donna | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
and her family the journey has only just begun. We don't want any other | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
family or any elderly vulnerable person to be put on the situation my | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
Nan was in. I would not want that to happen to any other person, it has | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
been dreadful. Weather now, and tomorrow will start | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
off wet, with some heavy bursts of rain, becoming lighter during the | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
day, with some brighter spells later That's it, | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
we'll be back tomorrow evening, Good evening. Conditions in the next | :04:55. | :05:16. | |
24 hours may not match those of the big storms of autumn and winter but | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
they will make for an unpleasant summer staples of already some | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
unpleasant conditions here, wet and very windy, but it is this low tide | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
on to what once was hurricane Bertha, which has now set its track | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
for the UK as we go through Sunday. Arriving to some southern and | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
western areas as we start the day, but let's concentrate on the | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
southern half of the country for tomorrow, this is where the wettest | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
and windiest conditions will be to begin with. Rain spreading across | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
some parts, some of which will be heavy. Strong winds across the South | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
coast and then another surge which could cause some damage pushing in | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
from the west later. The most persistent rain will be in Wales and | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
the Midlands, many will turn dry and brighter through the afternoon. For | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
the middle half of the country, just one or two showers to start off, but | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
one or two showers to start off but signs we could see some persistent | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
heavy rain to the east of Northern Ireland and | :06:06. | :06:07. |
