07/09/2014 BBC London News

That is all of the sport. Thank you. That's it from us, we are back with

the late news at 10:15pm tonight. Now on BBC One it's time for the

news where you are. Goodbye. Good evening from BBC London News,

I'm Louisa Preston. Royal Mail could soon be delivering

parcels on Sundays in an attempt to serve the growing

demand for online shopping. The company has started piloting

Sunday deliveries in and around London from today,

as Charlotte Franks reports. Could this be the key to boosting

business? For the first time these Royal mail staff are working on a

Sunday and the parcels they are sorting and we'll be delivered today

too. The postal company is responding to the changing weight we

shop driven by a boost in online sales. We have been responding to

customer demand in recent years to ensure that we provide as many

options as possible for people to be able to choose how and when they can

receive their orders. Hello, I have got your parcel. For people like

Sarah who work during the week this Sunday service is welcome. It is

good to have if you can choose a Sunday delivery rather than having

the postman waste their time having to come during the week, that would

be a good thing as well. And for others on the postal round today

it's the same story. Able have really busy lives and it is

difficult to get out to the shops. I think this will probably do a lot

more for the economy as well because people will shop more, and if you

can rely on having your packages delivered on a Sunday I think it

just makes life a lot easier for people. Royal mail may be the

biggest postal company, but is it playing catch up? It's parcels

business saw revenue declined by 1% in the first quarter this year,

despite overall growth in the British e-commerce sector. For some

time rivals have been making it easier for customers to drop-off and

pick-up parcels from lockers like this one. But Royal mail insists it

is actually ahead of the game with this pilot. It will continue into

the New Year and if successful could be rolled out permanently across the

capital. Charlotte Franks, BBC London News.

A doctor who fought plans to downgrade Lewisham Hospital is to

stand against the Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt in next year's

Doctor Louise Irvine, will be contesting Mr Hunt's seat

The Government says it's protecting the NHS from funding cuts

and is committed to improving standards - but Dr Irvine believes

Coalition reforms are putting the service at risk.

The NHS is being cut, despite what the government says, the funding has

not increased to meet the needs of the population. There are many other

important issues that people are really concerned about and I think

it is important that Jeremy Hunt is challenged at the ballot box.

The Foundation set up in the memory of murdered teenager

Jimmy Mizen has opened its third cafe in South East London.

His parents say they would like to see more across the capital,

On the steps of the Old Bailey after his son's killer was convicted.

We are becoming a country of anger, of selfishness and of fear.

And, you know, it doesn't have to be like this

The 10,000 Hands Cafe in Ladywell Fields is how this family

Since starting the Jimmy Mizen Foundation its core has been giving

young people a chance to volunteer and do something positive.

I was involved from anything from hiring to decorating to making

Every aspect of it I have been involved in.

Visited by Prince Charles, their first cafe opened in 2010 to

help fund the foundation but it became clear it had other benefits.

Three years ago Billy dropped out of cookery school

but he got an apprenticeship with the foundation, and now he is a cafe

I have learned how to be a skilled barrista, learned how to

be a successful manager, a leader, and also to be a great role model.

For Jimmy Mizen's parents, Barry and Margaret, these community

cafes offer a positive legacy out of a tragedy, one they want to see

I got a phone call the other day asking - can we have a Jimmy Mizen

I would like to see these all around but for the right reason.

It's not about adults being there, it's not about promoting us.

It's about the young people doing the

work they do, so if we could have a Jimmy Mizen Foundation cafe in every

The model we are developing here is replicable and we would

like to think as the foundation we could surely help other people do

What would their son think about all of this?

I think he would be really proud and I wish he was here to see it.

A third man has been charged in connection with the death of an

Afghan immigrant found in a shipping container in Essex last month. His

body was discovered along with 34 body was discovered along with 4

other people at Tilbury Docks. Let's get the weather with Sara Thornton.

In the Home Counties out towards the north-west it could be quite a cool

night tonight, with temperatures down in single figures.

Tomorrow we will start with a lot of sunshine around.

Some cloud towards the south and east as we go through the day,

it will stay dry with varying amounts of sunshine and 22 degrees

Through this week we are looking dry and settled, some cloud around at

That's it I'll be back just after 10:30pm,

Good evening. Most of us had a lovely end to the weekend but the

exception was the north-east of Scotland. It was cold, wet and windy

but the low responsible is now moving away and we have high

pressure moving its way in from the West. The pressure is rising all the

while over the next few days which will settle things down nicely and

it will be dry pretty much all week. But the forecasting headache will be

the amount of cloud. The next few hours will still be pretty wet and

windy in the north-east of Scotland but through the small hours the ring

becomes quite liked and patchy. Elsewhere it is a dry night, a few

patches of low cloud here and there but for many it is a night of clear

spells, and major towns and cities will be a degree either side of

double figures but in rural areas temperatures could reach as low as

one degree. Northern Scotland will be cloudy and breezy, not much

Rangers peak of but they will be some. The central lowlands will see

a decent start the day and so will Northern Ireland, and the rest of

England and Wales there will be a few patches of cloud but for many

will be a bright start of the day with plenty of sunshine. The

temperatures in rural areas will pick up pretty quickly in the
