Riz Lateef. We start tonight with warnings that | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
the capital is facing a teaching crisis because of a shortage | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
of specialists in key subjects. Figures obtained | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
by BBC London show that around half the teacher trahning | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
courses for maths and science in It comes at a time when thousands | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
of extra teachers are needed to Here's our education reportdr | :01:18. | :01:23. | |

always easy. Teaching in London you get if you looks, wow, rather you | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
than me, especially maths. People tend to share horrific stories | :01:50. | :01:52. | |

really scarring. While she hs really scarring. While she hs | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
excited by the challenge, others are not. The latest data shows | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
potentially large gaps in some subjects. 126 maths courses are on | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
offer in London, 60 have unfilled spaces, nearly half. In scidnce | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
there are 217 courses in biology, chemistry and physics, 121 have | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
spaces. Out of 49 specialist language courses, 24 are currently | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
not fall. This matters becatse not fall. This matters because | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
places by 2018. At one teacher per places by 2018. At one teacher per | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
30 pupils, that works out as for thousand 400 extra teachers who need | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
to be found. We know the school population in London is going to | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
grow quite dramatically over the next few years. We have to make sure | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
next few years. We have to lake sure we are training enough teachers | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
because as soon as we get into a spiral with not training enough | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
teachers, there is a risk that standards go down. What we have got | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
at present, if you think about a set of traffic lights, they are not yet | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
at red but they are clearly flashing amber. The government also trains | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
graduates through its schools direct scheme. Some pay, some are paid, and | :03:06. | :03:07. | |

London short. Thousands of new recruits attended a boot camp in | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
recruits attended a boot calp in Leeds over the summer, with 600 | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
heading for London despite the challenges of teaching here. The way | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
teachers are viewed in this country, we need to change that. I don't | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
think teachers are valued. We get a lower salary than accountancy or | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
banking, but in general it is an banking, but in general it hs an | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
issue with London housing being so expensive. The numbers still don't | :03:43. | :03:51. | |
add up, so next week the government is introducing this, a wide`ranging | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
recruitment campaign building on the recruitment campaign building on the | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
impact of educating Yorkshire. We want high`quality graduates to think | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
we are offering bursaries in the key we are offering bursaries in the key | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
subjects where we want focus, such as science and maths. It is hoped | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
the new education Secretary will improve relations with existing | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
teachers. All of this, we are told, would be a priority heading into the | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
election. In London, the lack of teachers is becoming a classroom | :04:23. | :04:22. | |
crisis. London schools have the best results | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
in the country, so why the The drop in recruitment is no | :04:26. | :04:38. | |
surprise. In recession, graduates flocked to a safe job. As the | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
economy, as it picks up, money talks. The new education secretary | :04:43. | :04:53. | |
should help. There is no doubt the predecessor had a fractious | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
relationship with some areas of the profession. Today, Vicky Morgan | :04:56. | :05:03. | |
repeatedly heaped plays `` Nicky Morgan repeatedly heaped pr`ise on | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
teachers. She knows the danger if she doesn't plug the gaps. Design | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
and technology have poorer recruitment figures, and schools | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
could just drop them. Essential subjects need to be taught, but by | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
who? Could be nonspecialists. Standards would suffer. The last | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
time we had a recruitment sorted was the late 1990s, when tuition fees | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
came in. `` a recruitment shortage. We had some of the worst results | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
ever then. It is all about friends, but at the moment it is going the | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
runway. Coming up, are you nervous to cycle in London? I have got on my | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
bike to find out just how precarious cyclists are on these routes at the | :05:47. | :05:47. | |
moment. Filthy and unsafe ` | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
that's how Wormwood Scrubs Prison A report's found nearly half | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
of inmates felt they were in danger during their time | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
at the west London jail. And in the last three years, | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
six prisoners have taken Our home affairs corresponddnt | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
Guy Smith reports. Wormwood Scrubs, made famous by | :06:06. | :06:16. | |
film`makers, now under the spotlight again. For its safety record and | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
failing to implement repeated failing to implement repeated | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
recommendations concerning suicide and self harm. Since the last | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
inspection in 2011, six prisoners here have taken their own lives, | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
here have taken their own lhves with five last year. Chief | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
Inspector's report says that work to reduce violence has been poorly | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
resourced. And too Limited. The jail in West London holds nearly 130 | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
adult prisoners, many on remand. in West London holds nearly 1300 | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
adult prisoners, many on reland The adult prisoners, many on reland The | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
last inspection found it was improving. This time around, in | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
almost every aspect, it had declined significantly. The prison w`tchdog | :06:57. | :06:57. | |
significantly. The prison watchdog said: Today's report was very | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
disappointing. When we inspdcted, we disappointing. When we inspdcted, we | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
discovered that not only have this number of prisoners taken their own | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
lives, but the responses and recommendations that in student had | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
not been actioned. We found some prisoners at risk of self h`rm in | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
some pretty terrible condithons `` that had in student. One officer | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
says there is daily violencd and that the jail is understaffed. We | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
have disguised his identity. The have been more attacks than ever, | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
and more fights between prisoners as well. Any violence is unacceptable. | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
well. Any violence is unaccdptable. That view is echoed by a former | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
burglar and ex`inmate of Wormwood Scrubs, but he also says the prison | :07:42. | :07:42. | |
Scrubs, but he also says thd prison can't cope with the most probable. | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
People say these prisons ard like People say these prisons ard like | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
holiday camps. When was the last time somebody committed suicide in a | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
holiday camp? You have to ask these questions. What are we doing to | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
these people? What are they doing to them? They are getting more and more | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
resentful, rather than trying to work with them. For a decadd, and | :08:04. | :08:10. | |
Jill are routinely visited Wormwood Scrubs as the chair of the | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
Independent monitoring board. She resigned last year. Hi each year | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
from 2011 it got worse, and in 013 from 2011 it got worse, and in 2013 | :08:17. | :08:26. | |
I said it was on a knife edge. They totally denied it. The prison | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
service says: but the report raises serious | :08:30. | :08:46. | |
concerns about whether this prison is doing its job, helping | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
rehabilitate criminals so that they are one`day safe to be released. | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
Detectives investigating thd disappearance of 14`year`old Alice | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
Gross say they've seen CCTV images showing her on the Grand Union Canal | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
The pictures on Thursday were her last known sighting. | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
The teenager was last seen by her family earlier that day | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
Four highly skilled medical technicians have been jailed | :09:11. | :09:19. | |
They operated the machines that maintain blood flow while | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
But when they claimed to be working at Basildon Hospital, they were | :09:25. | :09:28. | |

were full`time members of staff at Basildon Hospital, with full`time | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
contracts. What they were doing was working at the hospital sitds | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
contracts. What they were doing was working at the hospital sites during | :10:11. | :10:12. | |
their contracted hours, providing services privately. Nothing wrong | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
with NHS employees doing private with NHS employees doing prhvate | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
work, but on this occasion they were doing it during their contr`cted | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
hours, which made it fraud. Arriving at court today, a colleague of his | :10:26. | :10:26. | |

Hospital employed their company and that is when the fraud began. | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
Basildon Hospital had paid salaries for 14,000 hours that were not | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
actually completed, and that equated to a salary of a payment of around | :10:56. | :11:02. | |

Some good news for thousands of commuters at Waterloo. | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
You are going to get longer trains, but I'm afraid you'll have to wait | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
for two years till they are ready to go. | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
Old Eurostar platforms will be opened at Waterloo | :11:52. | :11:53. | |
while engineering work takes place top make the platforms long enough | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
Just by Platform 19 today, rail bosses announced 150 new carriages | :11:57. | :12:11. | |
for South West Trains, which means capacity is going up by 30% in the | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
next couple of years accordhng to the chief executive. These trains we | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
are ordering today would be delivered in 2017 and will run | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
predominately from Waterloo to Richmond and Twickenham, various | :12:27. | :12:26. | |
suburban routes, and they will Richmond and Twickenham, various | :12:27. | :12:28. | |

reopened to minimise destruction for upgrading signalling and extending | :12:42. | :12:48. | |

the over`capacity but it won't solve the whole problem. Still, p`ssengers | :13:15. | :13:15. | |
the whole problem. Still, passengers welcomed the news. My husband | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
travels daily, he says often how crowded it is, and becoming more and | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
more so. So fantastic news. When I went to Southampton, it was very | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
crowded. One of the biggest problems is there is hardly any placd to put | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
luggage. With the additional coaches they have started to add, it has | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
been much better. It means weary commuters going into Waterloo might | :13:43. | :13:43. | |
actually get a seat in rush`hour. Reeling in the stars ` | :13:44. | :13:48. | |

people too scared of the tr`ffic to cycle in London, news that two | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
new dedicated cycleways are to The routes will travel | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
from north to south and east to west Alice Bhandhukravi is in central | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
London with more details for us. That's right. Victoria embankment | :14:23. | :14:37. | |
behind me will be part of the proposed new cycle superhighway. | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
This is the idea: two routes crossing London from north to south, | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
from east to west, 18 miles of new cycle lanes. Starting in thd | :14:47. | :14:48. | |
from east to west, 18 miles of new cycle lanes. Starting in the west of | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
London, from Royal Oak, all the way to Tower Hill, where it will join | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
the existing superhighway which runs the Barking in east London. The | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
vertical route, which runs for more than three miles from King's Cross | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
down to elephant and Castle. I enjoy cycling but I am one of those people | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
usually too scared to cycle through the busy streets of London. Today, | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
however, I took my chances `nd got on my bike. | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
This is what it is like at the moment cycling between King's Cross | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
and Blackfriars. Stop, start, dodging obstacles and people, | :15:28. | :15:29. | |
dodging obstacles and peopld, navigating busy and dangerous | :15:30. | :15:29. | |
navigating busy and dangerots junctions. This is the rub the new | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
cycle superhighway would follow, junctions. This is the rub the new | :15:36. | :15:36. | |
cycle superhighway would follow, but instead of painted lanes whhch only | :15:37. | :15:38. | |
appear sometimes, the idea is instead of painted lanes which only | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
appear sometimes, the idea is for segregated lanes, almost colpletely | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
separated from traffic. This is the vision: Less space for carts and | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
buses, more for cyclists and pedestrians. Is it really worth the | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
effort and the cost? The cycling budget is ?1 billion over tdn years, | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
these two routes will cost ?50 million delivering a Hugh transport | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
for the money. The east`west route will take 3000 journeys per hour. If | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
you want to take thousands dxtra you want to take thousands extra | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
under the street, it will cost a great deal more. You need to | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
convince people to get on their bikes and do this in order to make | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
it worthwhile? If you don't, it would be a waste of money, when it? | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
This is how we convince people. Every time we put in a new route, | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
cycling has shot up. It has more than doubled in the last ten years. | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
Unsurprisingly, those who look after the interests of other road users | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
are not particularly keen to give way to cyclists. Competition for | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
road space around here is more severe than anywhere else in the | :16:47. | :16:48. | |
country. The mayor will have to show country. The mayor will have to show | :16:49. | :16:50. | |

spring. This year's BFI London Film Festival | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
is attracting both A`listers such as Benedict Cumberbatch, | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
Keira Knightley and Brad Pitt, Now in its 58th year, | :17:53. | :17:54. | |
the 12`day event sees the capital promote the world's best | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
film talent and culture. Our arts correspondent Brenda | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
Emmanus brings us the highlhghts. What did you do during the war? I | :18:01. | :18:17. | |
worked in radio factory. He recently won an Emmy for his betrayal of | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
Sherlock Holmes, but now insiders believe that Benedict Cumberbatch | :18:21. | :18:28. | |
will again inspire admirers in his role as Alan Turing. The film opens | :18:29. | :18:38. | |
this year's London Film Festival. I think one of the great pleasures of | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
the film festival is it is both a film festival for the people of | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
London and the Festival of significant standing | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
internationally. And that is what makes it rich in terms of the | :18:51. | :18:51. | |
opportunities we have at prdsent opportunities we have at prdsent | :18:52. | :19:00. | |
great films. A host of film talent were present but today's launch in | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
Leicester Square, which revealed Mike Leigh's cinematic portrait of | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
William Turner, starring Timothy William Turner, starring Tilothy | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
Spall, was one of the films on offer. One of the films that really | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
excites me, and I find a re`l excites me, and I find a real | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
characteristic of dish film`making, is the level of risk taking. People | :19:19. | :19:27. | |
get behind filmmakers of vision and back them, and we see that all | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
through the programme this year. As the British film Institute's Chief | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
Executive pointed out, the festival brings together the world's stories | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
in one place, while promoting trade and culture. But it is also an | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
important showcase of British films, and London's emerging talent. | :19:46. | :19:50. | |

Brad Pitt is producer and star of Fury, also at the film festhval | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
Now, is this just a sign of our crazy property market? | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
At just over six feet wide, it's got to be one | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
of the smallest homes, but ht's is expected to fetch up to a quarter | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
Emilia Papadopoulous went to have a look at the two bedroom house | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
When it comes to property prices in London, nothing shocks people, but | :20:40. | :20:47. | |
this might. Sandwiched between two this might. Sandwiched between two | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
average houses, it is one of the narrowest homes in the country. Your | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
hands can touch either side? Just about. But Mike the house doesn't | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
feel as small as it looks on the outside, and whoever does end up | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
buying it will actually get quite a lot of floor space, even though it | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
is all quite narrow. There hs a kitchen, bathroom, two bedrooms, and | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
even a small roof terrace. But if you are claustrophobic, this is | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
probably not the best flat for you. The kitchen is fully fitted. Two | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
bedrooms upstairs. There is also aloft. It is always great to have | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
outside space. Even if it is tiny. The house was built in 1996 over | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
driveway. On October the 1st, it will be put up for auction, with a | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
guide price of ?235,000. It is definitely liveable. It is a | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
guide price of ?235,000. It is definitely liveable. It is ` fully | :21:52. | :21:52. | |
definitely liveable. It is a fully functioning house, and it is | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
carpeted. It will hopefully go for 250, maybe more. Would any of the | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
locals buy it? A little too narrow for me. It is not a great location. | :22:03. | :22:10. | |
It seems quite small, but I suppose it is the price of a flat. Given the | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
space, it doesn't seem... It is not the only narrow house in the | :22:18. | :22:19. | |
the only narrow house in thd capital. This property in Shepherd's | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
Bush, just 65 inches wide, sold for almost half ?1 million in 2006. It | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
is now estimated to be worth around 950,000. Many may argue that this is | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
just another example of London's housing crisis, but there is no | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
doubt it will be the perfect fit for someone. And now to the | :22:38. | :22:52. | |
They're synonymous with London, and the changing of the guard | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
at Buckingham Palace is one of the capital's top tourist attractions. | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
Now one of the Grenadier guardsmen is being investigated | :22:59. | :23:00. | |
for apparently performing a few playful moves while on duty, the | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
Our reporter Alex Bushill is outside the Palace. | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
All of the guards outside Btckingham Palace do two hours of duty. Every | :23:07. | :23:20. | |
ten minutes, they stand to attention, walk back and forth, and | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
their commanding officer tells them they are not to eat, sit or lie | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
down. But no mention of a phrouette. down. But no mention of a phrouette. | :23:30. | :23:31. | |
And that is what one Guardsman down. But no mention of a pirouette. | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
And that is what one Guardsman was caught doing. Look at this. | :23:35. | :23:42. | |
That footage was taken, we think, last month. It has been viewed more | :23:43. | :23:52. | |
than 75,000 times. He slows down and stops altogether, seemingly all for | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
comic effect. But his signature move, that pirouette, he does | :23:59. | :24:00. | |
comic effect. But his signature move, that pirouette, he dods it | :24:01. | :24:00. | |
move, that pirouette, he does it twice, and very elegantly. The | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
tourists I have shown it to think it is hilarious. I think he has spirit. | :24:07. | :24:15. | |
I admire his courage. It is a breach of protocol. He is out of lhne. I am | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
of protocol. He is out of line. I am professional dancer, and I think it | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
is great. He is still doing his job, just spicing it up. What would you | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
just spicing it up. What wotld you give him for technique? Ten out of | :24:29. | :24:38. | |
ten. Very good. So, top mark, the tourists are clearly find it | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
amusing. But the MoD are not amused. It may well be that he is | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
reprimanded, confined to barracks, which would be the perfect | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
opportunity to perfect some of those dance moves. | :24:50. | :24:51. | |
Alex, from Buckingham Palacd, dance moves. | :24:52. | :24:52. | |

much of the south`east, including the capital. Temperatures almost | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
