Transport bosses hope the g`in for commuters will be worth the pain. | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
Good evening and welcome to the programmd. | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
I'm Victoria Hollins. It was an audacious attempt to steal | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
thousands of pounds worth of luxury goods | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
from a leading department store. Now the gang who carried out | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
the smash`and`grab raid in full view of shoppers | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
at Selfridges have been jailed for a total of nearly 60 ye`rs. | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
The men disguised themselves in burqas and stole designer | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
watches worth ?1.5 million before fleeing on mopeds. | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
Katharine Carpenter has more on this. | :01:26. | :01:33. | |
It was on six June, last ye`r, just before closing time, that the rain | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
happened. The men entered the store, dressed as apt to win shoppdrs, | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
clutching expects of handbags. `` affluent shoppers. They left | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
clutching expensive designer watches, around 140 of them. | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
Selfridge's was packed at the time and terrified shoppers spilled out | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
onto the pavement as the men produced their weapons. | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
Dressed in burqas, the thieves run to the exit, concealing thehr | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
identities and their stolen goods beneath the clothes. Their target | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
had been the store's luxury is one the room, where they attempted to | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
blend in with other wealthy shoppers before smashing the display cabinets | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
with axes and sledgehammers they had hidden underneath their disguises. | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
`` wonder room. There was a real scramble, rails of clothes knocked | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
on the floor, shoes knocked over. It was an absolute mess and very scary. | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
The police arrive to find two gang members being held down by | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
passers`by, after their getaway passers`by, after their getaway | :02:36. | :02:42. | |

Dalston was also found guilty of involvement in both incidents. | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
Vincent Bellamy was sentencdd to 15 years for his part in the | :02:59. | :03:01. | |

was not the end for Rawlings. In September last year, he was in the | :03:13. | :03:16. | |

them today but The Met police were keen to point out this kind of crime | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
is not victimless. They say that today, they hope the sentences | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
handed to the gangs reflect that. Lots more to come including. | :03:41. | :03:47. | |

weekend's Notting Hill Carnival. weekend's Notting Hill Carnhval | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
Police say the pre`emptive strikes are aimed at keeping gang | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
members away from the event. But as Gareth Furby reports, | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
the number of arrests during Carnival has steadily | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
increased over the past ten years. So is the Met's strategy working? | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
A small army of police, raiding about 170 addresses across London. | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
Here in Lambeth, and the plan to Here in Lambeth, and the pl`n to | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
target people who may have set out to disrupt this weekend's Notting | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
Hill Carnival. The noise of an angle grinder, cutting through a door | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
grill. Three people were arrested, here. At another address, again in | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
Lambeth, police found three guns, two of the machine guns. Along with | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
what appeared to be crack cocaine and a large amount of cash. The | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
history of Carnival tells us that there would be those that would seek | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
to disrupt the event, and otr proactive tactics seek to disrupt | :05:10. | :05:10. | |
them. Certainly for some people, it them. Certainly for some people, it | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
them. Certainly for some people it was an unpleasant awakening. Around | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
1000 police officers were involved in the operation. But does this | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
tactic works? Do pre`emptivd in the operation. But does this | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
tactic works? Do pre`emptive arrests keep troublemakers away frol | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
keep troublemakers away from Carnival? The figures for arrests at | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
Carnival, going back to 2002, show a rising trend, from 158, up to 301 | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
rising trend, from 158, up to 3 1 last year. But The Met says this is | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
not down to rising crime but because there policing of the event is more | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
effective. Altogether, more than ?70,000 was seized today. More than | :05:53. | :05:53. | |
120 people have been arrested. A 16 year`old has been arrested | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
on suspicion of murder, after a teenager was stabbed to | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
death in east London. It happened at around 4pm yesterday | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
in Frampton Park Road in Hackney. Police say the 19`year`old victim | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
suffered multiple stab wounds. Another teenager has also been | :06:12. | :06:12. | |
Another teenager has also bden arrested on suspicion of murder | :06:13. | :06:13. | |
and remains in custody. A large pile of fly`tipped rubbish | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
that appeared in a south London park over the weekend is being rdmoved. | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
over the weekend is being removed. The huge pile on Ashburton | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
playing fields in Croydon contains building and household waste. | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
The council has now started the clean`up, which will cost | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
thousands of pounds. A man's been arrested this lorning | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
after cycling along the track at Liverpool Street. | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
Officers were called to the station at around 9:20al | :06:40. | :06:42. | |

Concerns have been raised over cut`price laser eye surgery deals | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
being offered on the high street. An investigation | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
by the consumer group, Which found potential risks of the procddure are | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
often played down to patients. And a leading London NHS expert has | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
raised concerns that much of the surgery is carried out | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
raised concerns that much of the surgery is carried ott by | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
doctors who aren't eye spechalists. Emilia Papadopoulos reports. | :07:10. | :07:20. | |
Reading, distance. Three years ago, Londoner Sasha underwent laser eye | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
surgery. It was meant to improve her vision. Instead, she claims it has | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
left her with many other problems. I get very painful eyes. They are very | :07:34. | :07:34. | |
dry. The dryness is not like people dry. The dryness is not like people | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
think of as dry eyes, just tse some think of as dry eyes, just tse some | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
eyedrops. Sometimes, you literally have to peel your eyelid off. The | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
report, published this week by the consumer group which, found that a | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
third of laser eye surgery consultations are poor qualhty, and | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
potential convocations were not clearly explain to patients, and | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
high street providers came bottom, with optical express failing to | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
explain convocations to the undercover researchers on every | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
visit. I'm very disappointed with the report. A handful of patients | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
does not reflect the high qtality the report. A handful of patients | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
does not reflect the high quality of does not reflect the high quality of | :08:14. | :08:13. | |
care that we routinely provhde does not reflect the high qtality of | :08:14. | :08:14. | |
care that we routinely provide to the patients. We want to make sure | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
every patient we treat understands the risks of surgery. Sasha was not | :08:20. | :08:28. | |
treated by optical express but had her surgery at another high`street | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
provider. She has started an online campaign, and through that, found | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
hundreds of other people who have experienced problems after surgery. | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
Last week, some of them staged a protest outside the optical express | :08:40. | :08:41. | |
clinic in Harley Street. They protest outside the optical express | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
clinic in Harley Street. Thdy want clinic in Harley Street. They want | :08:44. | :08:43. | |
tougher regulations in the hndustry. tougher regulations in the hndustry. | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
Their concerns were brought up in Parliament last year. The industry | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
needs statutory legislation. Voluntary mechanisms have failed. | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
All surgeons must be qualified, certificated and regularly | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
assessed. While all laser strgeons must be qualified doctors, they are | :09:06. | :09:06. | |
not legally required to have any not legally required to havd any | :09:07. | :09:07. | |
specialist qualifications. A lot of specialist qualifications. @ lot of | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
the time, consultations are not carried out by doctors. One expert | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
says that has to change. Patients are often initially seen by an | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
optometrist, not a doctor. Optometrists are trained to assess | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
people preoperatively but it is not the same thing as proper continuity | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
of care. I would like to sed high`street industries sticking with | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
corneal specialists, people trained to a high level. The Care Quality | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
to a high level. The Care Qtality Commission told us they will look | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
into the findings in the report Meanwhile, the Department of Health | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
say they are working with the Royal College of surgeons to tighten | :09:42. | :09:42. | |
standards and training on l`ser College of surgeons to tighten | :09:43. | :09:43. | |
standards and training on laser eye standards and training on l`ser eye | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
surgery and improve the way patients are given information. Laser eye | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
surgery is not routinely available surgery is not routinely av`ilable | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
on the NHS. Sasha, like thousands of on the NHS. Sasha, like thousands of | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
others, was tempted by a cut`price deal. You certainly would not buy a | :09:56. | :10:05. | |
discount parachute. You shotld not buy discount laser surgery either. I | :10:06. | :10:06. | |
buy discount laser surgery dither. I disagree with that. We take great | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
care to provide good care. Laser eye surgery is generally a very safe | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
practice but as with also Depor practice but as with also Ddpor | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
procedures, there are risks. Campaigners want future pathents to | :10:15. | :10:15. | |
Campaigners want future patients to be made fully aware of them. | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
Commuters using London Bridge can expect disruption to their travel | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
plans in the coming weeks. The station ` | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
which is used by around 50,000 passengers each day ` will partially | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
close from this Friday. Network Rail says the closure is | :10:29. | :10:31. | |

From the air, you can see the scale of the Thames Link programmd, which | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
promises to transform North` South travel through London. London Bridge | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
is at the centre of the project. It is one of the country's biggest | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
stations. Upgrading it, whilst passengers continue to use ht, | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
certainly a challenge. You can see a lot of development going on at | :11:05. | :11:05. | |

commuters. `` Wembley Staditm. Next commuters. `` Wembley Staditm. Next | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
week, the station will be partly closed from nine days. From this | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
Saturday, to the 31st of August, there is no First Capital Connect or | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
Southern services calling at London Bridge. There will be no direct | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
train to Gatwick or Luton airports. 50,000 commuters use these routes | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
every morning rush`hour. Thdy are going to be directly affected. But | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
going to be directly affectdd. But it is expected the knock`on effect | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
on other routes will also affect 250,000 people. For what yot pay, | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
sometimes you feel there is a fair amount of inconvenience. It would be | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
better to serve the customer better. We will have to find an alternative | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
route but nine days is a long time. We know this is challenging work, | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
for us and them but bear with us because it will be worth it in the | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
end. Sign that read this st`tion because it will be worth it in the | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
end. Sign that read this st`tion and the routes into London Bridge are | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
heavily congested, one of the most congested routes in Europe. The | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
passengers who use this station every day know that which is why | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
they sit in carriages on delayed trains. We are freeing up the | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
capacity, so people can havd a capacity, so people can have a | :12:24. | :12:27. | |

It is going to have a knock`on effect on other services. | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
Southeastern is running a normal service but may be busier. Southern | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
services and First Capital Connect, south of Blackfriars, will be free | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
