That is all from the BBC News at 6.00pm. So goodbye from me and now | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
we can join the BBC News teams where you are. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Former boxing promoter, Frank Maloney, who guided Lennox Lewis to | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
I thought maybe I could earn enough money to disappear and lead a new | :00:13. | :00:24. | |
life as a female. We're at one of London's most | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
famous boxing clubs for reaction How London's chief police officer | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
made his first arrest as the Commissioner of the Met | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
by coming to the aid of a cabbie. I saw the police and they came to my | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
car and followed the guy. Plus the terrifying moment a mother | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
jumped on the tracks to save her And transforming east London's | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
landscape ` plans are revealed As the top policeman in the country, | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
Sir Bernard Hogan Howe is used to crackdowns on criminals | :00:54. | :01:16. | |
and arrest rates. But today he was actually called | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
upon to make an arrest himself, his first as the | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
Met Police Commissioner. It happened during | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
an interview he was doing with our Victoria Hollins is in Tottenham | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
where it happened. Victoria, an eventful day | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
for the Commissioner? It has been a pretty action field | :01:30. | :01:41. | |
adventurous day for Sir Bernard Hogan`Howe. He was on a walkabout | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
from our radio station. They were on the high road in Tottenham when a | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
minicab driver pulled up asking for help. He said that four men had got | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
out of his car without paying and ?20,000 from him. Well one police | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
officer headed in the direction of one suspect and Sir Bernard | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
Hogan`Howe jumped into the nearest car and headed off to try to find | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
another suspect. When he was involved in the arrest of a | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
19`year`old. Earlier I spoke to the Callum Driver concerned and to the | :02:18. | :02:26. | |
television and radio presenter. They all ran away and took my money as | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
well. What happened then? I saw the police, I asked the police to come | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
and arrest the guys. They came to my car and caught two of them. Who | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
would have guessed, walking down the road? I think he was happy to get | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
his hands dirty. And subsequently to get back in a police car and drive | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
after the second. He was happy to go to the station and took pleasure in | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
telling me about writing up his notes. And is this the first time he | :03:01. | :03:10. | |
has made an arrest as Commissioner? That is right. But of course he has | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
arrested a lot of people in his career, spanning several forces | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
since 1979. But this is the first arrest that he is made in seven | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
years. The important thing is that I made an arrest as police officer but | :03:28. | :03:39. | |
never as Commissioner. I have been very slack! But today we put that | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
right. The cab driver is less pleased because he is still waiting | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
for his money. The Metropolitan Police will be pleased, this is the | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
kind of public relations that many organisations can only dream of. But | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
social media has been interesting. Some people asking does he still | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
know how to do the full portion. And from one colleague of his, simply | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
saying, still got it! Lots more to come, | :04:08. | :04:15. | |
including inflation busting pay rises for new recruits in the City. | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
A sign of growing confidence in the economy or just good news | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
for bankers? A man from Crawley who beat | :04:21. | :04:31. | |
a homeless man to death, and then took photos of his victim's | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
body on his mobile phone, Daniel Palmer, who's 24, | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
has been told he'll serve a minimum of 15 years in prison | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
for the murder of Joao Esteves. This CCTV shows Daniel Palmer | :04:41. | :04:52. | |
leaving Joao Esteves to death. He beat him into a state of | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
unconsciousness in an alleyway. As the 45 build Portuguese man lay | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
dying Daniel Palmer took a video and photographs on his mobile phone and | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
sent some of them to friends. Mr Palmer clearly went there with the | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
intention of assaulting someone on the trophy photographs were his way | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
of recording that to show his friends, to show what he had done. | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
Joao Esteves had only been in the country for four days. He | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
encountered Daniel Palmer is the 24`year`old made his way home from a | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
night of heavy drinking. Daniel Palmer in his defence said the | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
photographs on the mobile phone had been taken by accident while he had | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
been trying to defend themselves from attack by Joao Esteves. He told | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
the court Joao Esteves had tried to rob him at knife`point. The judge | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
said this story was a web of lies and deceit. In sentencing him to | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
life in prison the judge told him, this was a quite dreadful crime. You | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
killed a sad and vulnerable man. You have not shown one flicker of | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
remorse. It took pleasure in the results of your hand's work on why | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
else would you take the photos you did. Palmer walked away from his | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
victim, lied to the fleece and wash the clothes he had been wearing on | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
the night of the murder. A man who has lived most of his adult life | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
involved in violence and threatening behaviour is now behind bars. | :06:18. | :06:27. | |
Pictures have been released of the heart stopping moment | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
when a child in a pushchair was blown onto the tube | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
Within moments a woman ran to pull the child to safety before a train | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
Katherine Carpenter joins me now and what exactly does the CCTV show us? | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
For any parent this is the stuff of nightmares. But its transport police | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
have released the footage taken last month. It shows a man leaving a | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
child in a pushchair at the bottom of some steps. He then goes back | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
upstairs to fetch another pushchair and a gust of wind drag the previous | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
pushchair onto the tracks. Then you see a woman who appears to be the | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
mother of the boy jumping onto the tracks after him. You can see that | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
from a different angle there pitching onto the tracks. Then a | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
woman following shortly afterwards. She retrieves the pushchair very | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
quickly, throws it back up and then goes back onto the tracks herself. | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
We will see that in a couple of seconds. And she retrieves some bits | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
that seemed to fallen from the bottom. What you cannot see is | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
another tube train approaching just seconds away. She really gets back | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
onto the platform with seconds to spare. And that the police are | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
trying to trace the parents of the child with Mac that is right. It | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
appears there was just one other person on the platform at that time. | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
It is transport police said there were no staff on the platform at the | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
time either. They want to trace the family because they want to check | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
that the child was not hurt in any way. According to the absolute | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
letter of the law the woman was trespassing on the track at the | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
time. But British Transport Police did say they have released the | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
pictures of the warning to others about the danger of high wind in the | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
tunnels and because they do have a genuine concern for the family | :08:16. | :08:16. | |
involved. A murder investigation has begun | :08:17. | :08:31. | |
in south`east London after a 26`year`old man was stabbed | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
to death. It happened last night on | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
Eltham Road in Lee. Police believe the victim may have | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
been involved in an argument with The former leader of a notorious | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
London criminal gang, Terry Adams, has been ordered to pay back more | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
than ?650,000 from his crime days. Mr Adams argued in court that he was | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
too poor to pay the money, and was However a judge rejected this, | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
saying it was likely he still had considerable assets, which he was | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
using to fund a luxury lifestyle. A man has died after taking part | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
in yesterday's 36 year`old, Kris Cook collapsed | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
at Newlands Corner during the Surrey leg of the route | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
and died from a cardiac arrest. He was raising money for | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
Woking Hospice and his donations to his Just Giving | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
page have now passed ?10,000. He made his name and a successful | :09:11. | :09:19. | |
career in the male`dominated, macho Now the former promoter, | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
Frank Maloney, who is best known for guiding Lennox Lewis to a world | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
title ` is living as a woman. The 61`year`old from Peckham is | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
now known as Kellie, and has described how leading a secret | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
life nearly drove her to suicide. Born and bred in Peckham. Frank | :09:33. | :09:49. | |
Maloney is best known to sports fans as the man who led Lennox Lewis to | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
the top of the boxing world. This girl supports Lennox Lewis. But | :09:56. | :10:05. | |
in the last 24 hours the 61`year`old has revealed a new life as a woman | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
called Kellie. In an interview with the Mirror newspaper she discusses | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
her transgender struggle and suicide attempt after feeling trapped in the | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
wrong body. She credits boxing for giving her a focus during the dark | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
times. Deep down I thought, maybe I can earn enough money that one day I | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
can disappear and live a completely new life as a female and no one will | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
ever bother me. Because in sport, once you come out of sport were soon | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
forgotten. When asked how she thought the boxing world would | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
react... I do not know. I cannot comment. They will make their own | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
decision. Today in south London there was surprise and support. I | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
thought it was a wind`up. Sunday morning, in the Daily Mirror. It is | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
2014 and if you want to be who you want to be, just be it. Maloney was | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
also active in politics, standing as the good candidate for London mayor | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
in 2004. The party defended Maloney after refusing to campaign in Camden | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
saying they were too many gay people. In 2010 there was an | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
unsuccessful attempt to stand as you could candidate for barking. Today | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
the announcement was welcomed by the transgender community. It is | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
brilliant. It is part of an enormous great thing. No rule that says that | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
boxing is any more or less likely to turn up someone in transition than a | :11:43. | :11:51. | |
hairdresser. Well we have heard messages of support from across the | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
boxing community today? There has been shocked as well but it is | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
wonderful to see the support that Kellie has received. And no higher | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
support in the boxing world as tributes came from all over the | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
place including Lennox Lewis, a close friend of course of Kellie. He | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
said he could only imagine what a difficult decision but had been. And | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
if this is what brings true happiness, then so be it. Also BBC | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
boxing commentator wrote on Twitter, Frank Maloney is possibly the | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
bravest person in boxing. How can anybody give him stick? You have to | :12:28. | :12:37. | |
just smile and say, go on, girl. We also have to say that Frank Maloney | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
actually left the boxing world just last October. And then on top of | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
that she's halfway through the process now of her agenda | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
transformation. She plans to have surgery next year. A great response | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
but no doubt there will be more comment in the days and months that | :12:54. | :12:55. | |
follow. Heathrow and Gatwick airports today | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
both reported record numbers of The news comes just | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
a few weeks before the Howard Davies Commission publishes | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
its recommendations on which Some are just going, others on their | :13:06. | :13:23. | |
way home. It is holiday season and for the two biggest airport in | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
London it has never been easier. At Heathrow July has seen the biggest | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
day in its history. The world economy is growing and Heathrow is | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
connected to that. And at Gatwick the numbers also keep going up. In | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
the last five years we have been the fastest`growing London airport. The | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
statistics tell the story. Almost 7 million passengers at Heathrow last | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
month. Gatwick, 4.1 million. Next month the airports commission is set | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
to announce his short list for new runways. If Heathrow is constrained | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
then we are losing out as a | :14:01. | 0:07:05 |
