:00:02. > :00:06.Office won't tell us or his solicitors or anybody else for that

:00:06. > :00:14.matter, is when he was put on this list and why he's on the list in

:00:14. > :00:17.the first place. A hospital where five women have

:00:17. > :00:20.died in the maternity unit in the last 18 months is to be

:00:20. > :00:22.investigated by the health watchdog. Most recently a woman and her

:00:22. > :00:25.unborn child died at Queen's Hospital in Romford after the

:00:25. > :00:28.mother's womb ruptured and staff tried to revive her with a

:00:28. > :00:30.disconnected oxygen mask. And soon, the hospital will become a major

:00:30. > :00:39.centre for thousands more patients, as our political correspondent Karl

:00:40. > :00:45.Mercer reports. On the outside, it looks like the sort of hospital you

:00:45. > :00:51.would want to go to but Queens in Romford isn't a picture of health

:00:51. > :00:57.on the inside, criticised by health inspectors by poor care in its

:00:57. > :01:01.maternity unit, care that left this man a widower last year. He lost

:01:01. > :01:05.his wife Serena during complications during the birth. The

:01:05. > :01:09.hospital has since apologised, admits mistakes were made. We were

:01:09. > :01:14.very happy when we were going there. We were like, OK. We're going to

:01:14. > :01:17.bring our baby back home, and I came all alone home. Today the Care

:01:17. > :01:21.Quality Commission has announced it's sending in a team of

:01:21. > :01:25.inspectors to check the A&E maternity units and others at

:01:25. > :01:30.Queens, a last chance for the hospital to improve standards.

:01:30. > :01:33.have been monitoring this Trust closely over the recent months. We

:01:33. > :01:37.have been doing many unannounced inspections. We have been talking

:01:37. > :01:42.to staff. We have been talking to patients, and we keep finding

:01:42. > :01:46.things that are wrong. Under NHS plans, Queens is set to be the main

:01:46. > :01:49.centre for maternity and A&E in outer London, a plan heavily

:01:49. > :01:53.criticised by MPs from all sides. They welcome today's investigation.

:01:53. > :01:57.Because they have had no money. They have cut services, and that's

:01:57. > :02:00.put extra pressure on those existing services at a time when

:02:00. > :02:04.the population is growing and demand is growing. This is the

:02:04. > :02:09.woman who will have to sort out the problems at Queens. The Chief

:02:10. > :02:13.Executive here is new and knows there are tough times ahead. Nobody

:02:13. > :02:16.when they're ill and vulnerable want to be worried about going to

:02:16. > :02:20.their local hospital, so I want this hospital to be a place that

:02:20. > :02:25.the public feel confident, feel safe that they can use. The staff

:02:26. > :02:31.are committed to delivering that, and I see the CQC report as a way

:02:31. > :02:34.of demonstrating to the public that those early steps are in place.

:02:35. > :02:38.inspection team move in on Monday. They report back in September.

:02:38. > :02:40.The death of a crane driver at the Olympic Park was from natural

:02:40. > :02:43.causes according to the police. The post-mortem examination results

:02:43. > :02:48.found it was not a work-related death, so no further investigation

:02:48. > :02:53.will be taken. The man believed to be in his 60s was found slumped in

:02:53. > :02:56.the stairwell of his crane yesterday afternoon.

:02:56. > :02:58.Two social workers sacked after the Baby P scandal will be able to

:02:58. > :03:01.appeal against an employment tribunal ruling they were not

:03:01. > :03:03.unfairly dismissed by Haringey Council. The former head of

:03:03. > :03:06.Haringey Children's Service Sharon Shoesmith has defended Gillie

:03:06. > :03:15.Christou and Maria Ward. She says the pair should never have lost

:03:15. > :03:22.their jobs. Tottenham is refusing to give up in

:03:22. > :03:25.its bid to move into the Olympic Stadium. The club is continuing its

:03:25. > :03:28.legal challenge over the decision to award the 2012 venue to West Ham.

:03:28. > :03:32.A judge rejected the bid for a judicial review last week, but

:03:32. > :03:42.Spurs say they now intend to make their case in a hearing at the High

:03:42. > :03:44.With millions of Olympic tickets already sold, people visiting the

:03:44. > :03:47.capital for next summer's Games will be looking for somewhere to

:03:47. > :03:50.stay. Whether you're thinking of letting out your own home or

:03:50. > :03:53.hunting for somewhere to stay, the Met Police is warning people to be

:03:53. > :03:55.on the look-out for fake websites. Our Olympic correspondent Adrian

:03:55. > :03:59.Warner reports. This South London flat has been at

:03:59. > :04:02.the heart of an accommodations scam. It was advertised on a website for

:04:02. > :04:07.short-term rent, but the person offering the flat didn't actually

:04:07. > :04:09.own it. He just borrowed pictures of it from another accommodation

:04:09. > :04:15.website. Alison Stevenson, who lives in the United States, saw

:04:16. > :04:22.them on this website and paid out a deposit of �600 before realising

:04:22. > :04:27.she'd been conned. It looked official. We had photos of it. We

:04:27. > :04:34.had the address. This Roger, as he calls himself, sent a very long e-

:04:34. > :04:38.mail telling us details of what was around the area. It all seemed very

:04:39. > :04:42.legitimate. With millions of visitors coming for the Olympics,

:04:42. > :04:46.there is a danger of more and more scams like this. The flat is

:04:46. > :04:51.actually managed by a genuine property rentals business in London

:04:51. > :04:55.run by Julie Maddison. She says as well as one fraudster using her

:04:55. > :05:00.photographs, now another site has just hijacked her company identity.

:05:00. > :05:04.It's a new website, which I have up here, and if you go to the home

:05:04. > :05:11.page, you'll see that there is a ridiculously low price on a three-

:05:11. > :05:18.bedroom apartment which is on Green Street in Mayfair. Click on to the

:05:18. > :05:21.main page, you'll see Holiday Rentals London are running it.

:05:21. > :05:26.That's not true. UnderNeath is our address. The Metropolitan Police

:05:26. > :05:33.has set up a dedicated unit to fight organised crime related to

:05:33. > :05:38.the Olympics. They made their first arrest related to internet ticket

:05:38. > :05:40.touting. If you're seeking to find a premises, there will be the

:05:40. > :05:45.genuine, legitimate companies who are doing that, but at the same

:05:45. > :05:50.time, you're going to get the fraudsters there who look to make a

:05:50. > :05:54.quick buck. Unfortunately, we're not going to know until July, next

:05:54. > :06:00.year, whether you have been a victim or not. A tip as well is,

:06:00. > :06:04.don't ever pass cash. If someone is asking you to use a money transfer

:06:04. > :06:08.agent to pay cash for a purchase or to rent a property, no. With

:06:08. > :06:11.millions of tickets sold, the rush for accommodation has already

:06:11. > :06:17.started, and London doesn't want to be remembered by the world as the

:06:17. > :06:20.Olympic city where visitors got ripped off.

:06:20. > :06:23.BBC London has learnt about half of London's schools are expected to

:06:23. > :06:29.close tomorrow as teachers go on strike in a dispute over changes to

:06:29. > :06:34.their pensions. Thousands of union members are to walk out as part of

:06:34. > :06:36.a national day of action by public sector workers. Figures collated by

:06:36. > :06:39.BBC London suggest about 1,000 primary, secondary and nursury

:06:39. > :06:41.schools in London will be shut, although precise closure numbers

:06:41. > :06:47.will not be available until Thursday. Alice Bhanhukravi has

:06:47. > :06:51.more. Quite a few of the 1,000 pupils at this school in Croydon

:06:51. > :06:56.were hoping for a day off tomorrow, but they won't get one because,

:06:56. > :06:59.despite the teachers' strike, the archbishop Lanfrane School will be

:06:59. > :07:04.open. The whole of year 11 has already finished lessons for the

:07:04. > :07:08.year, meaning it will be business as usual. It means that the number

:07:08. > :07:12.of lessons that'll need different arrangements for supervision is

:07:12. > :07:15.comparatively small, so even though we've got something like 18 members

:07:15. > :07:20.of staff joining the action, it's not sufficient to cause us to close.

:07:20. > :07:23.But at the primary down the road, the reverse is true. 80% of

:07:23. > :07:28.teachers will be on strike here. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:07:28. > :07:31.And for the head teacher, the near united front means she's been

:07:31. > :07:36.spared the tough choice about whether or not to open. Some heads

:07:36. > :07:41.are taxed with one or two teachers out and then having to close

:07:41. > :07:45.schools for just one or two classes, and I think that must be incredibly

:07:45. > :07:48.difficult for families who have one sibling coming to school and

:07:49. > :07:52.another not. Teachers feel really aggrieved about the proposals the

:07:52. > :07:56.Government is putting forward, which they think is very bad for

:07:56. > :08:02.the profession and which they think are completely unjustified, so 92%

:08:02. > :08:05.of our union members voted for industrial action. The ATL, which

:08:05. > :08:09.has never taken industrial action before, has also voted

:08:09. > :08:13.overwhelmingly. Now even the head teachers' union, the National Union

:08:13. > :08:15.of Teachers, has voted it's going to ballot for strike action as well,

:08:15. > :08:20.so the Government really needs to understand it's lost the confidence

:08:20. > :08:23.of the teaching profession almost completely. But in a letter to head

:08:23. > :08:29.teachers in the capital, the Mayor of London reiterated the

:08:29. > :08:33.Government's position. "I do not believe industrial action in our

:08:33. > :08:37.schools, which will inevitably create considerable disruption to

:08:37. > :08:40.the lives of children in the capital and working parents can be

:08:40. > :08:44.justified". Some London councils followed suit, also urging schools

:08:44. > :08:49.to stay open. The impact of such correspondence will be clear first

:08:49. > :08:51.thing tomorrow morning. Football now, and Andres Villas

:08:51. > :08:56.Boas has taken his first press conference since being installed as

:08:56. > :08:59.Chelsea's new manager. The 33-year- old from Portugal admits he doesn't

:08:59. > :09:09.expect to last long if he fails to bring trophies to Stamford Bridge.

:09:09. > :09:14.Chris Slegg reports. This contains flash photography.

:09:14. > :09:19.Chelsea's seventh manager in eight years may be the same nationality

:09:19. > :09:23.as his predecessor, but Andres Villas-Boas says he's not another

:09:23. > :09:29."Special One." This is not a one- man show. Maybe I should be called

:09:29. > :09:34.a group one. Want the group together to be successful. That's

:09:34. > :09:39.my objective. As usual, the e-mail begins with a press conference, and

:09:39. > :09:45.we know where it usually ends at Chelsea, the sack - regardless of

:09:45. > :09:51.how many trophies you might manage to bring here, so what are Aunese

:09:51. > :09:57.expectations of life in SW6? What you expect from this club is to be

:09:57. > :10:00.successful straight away - to win, and Hope to be successful on a

:10:00. > :10:04.weekly basis. There's no running away from that. I would be

:10:04. > :10:10.surprised to be kept on the job if I don't win. It's as straightward

:10:10. > :10:16.as that. He knows he won't get much time. The man chosen as his

:10:16. > :10:21.assistant famously didn't need much as he scored this goal.

:10:21. > :10:25.We had - the first thing that I told him when I called him was that

:10:25. > :10:29.I had a feeling inside me that he was the right man for the job, not

:10:29. > :10:33.only because of what he represents for the club, but also because of

:10:33. > :10:37.the quality of West Brom and the quality of his work. When he's not

:10:37. > :10:41.dealing with the players, he'll be dealing with the press, so what

:10:41. > :10:47.first impressions did the 33-year- old in the Chelsea hot seat leave

:10:47. > :10:53.on them? He breezed into a room of Fleet Street hacks and broadcasting

:10:53. > :10:56.gurus, and he's charmed everybody. It's quite clear that Andres

:10:56. > :10:59.Villas-Boas is intelligent, persuasive, cogent. He ticks all of

:10:59. > :11:06.those boxes. Now the big question is whether he can actually do it,

:11:06. > :11:10.whether he can deliver. questions the man known as "mini-

:11:10. > :11:13.Mourinho" hopes to answer. Its exterior has been compared to a

:11:13. > :11:15.large garden shed. But it's what's on the inside of the new Serpentine

:11:15. > :11:22.Pavilion in Kensington Gardens that's getting the world of

:11:22. > :11:30.architecture talking. Here's our arts correspondent Brenda Emmanus

:11:30. > :11:35.reports. Its monastic frame hides a hidden

:11:35. > :11:42.beauty that slowly reveals itself to its visitors. This is the latest

:11:42. > :11:48.Serpentine Pavilion, for which its creator has placed a specific

:11:48. > :11:54.purpose. To bring gardens back into architecture like they used to be

:11:54. > :11:58.in architecture in ancient times in the east, in the medieval times, so

:11:58. > :12:01.the garden in architecture has a little bit of a poor existence

:12:01. > :12:05.around the house, but I think it should be the other way around, so

:12:05. > :12:09.here you have the idea - the garden in the middle and the house around.

:12:09. > :12:12.This annual commission allows the chosen architect to create their

:12:12. > :12:16.ultimate summer hang-out to be enjoyed by the public. This is

:12:16. > :12:22.Peter's first completed building in the UK, but he shares the glory

:12:22. > :12:26.with Dutch designer Udof, who created his special garden so what

:12:26. > :12:30.impact is our kairkristically unpredictable summer likely to have

:12:30. > :12:36.on this project? The most beautiful impact, because, as we all know,

:12:36. > :12:42.nature always looks beautiful also in bad weather.

:12:42. > :12:46.The covered walkways and seating are to allow visitors the

:12:46. > :12:50.opportunity to contemplate the beauty of this garden, which will

:12:50. > :12:54.transform over time. The colours will change. It will grow

:12:54. > :13:01.considerably. Some grasses start to die, so you'll also see the decay

:13:01. > :13:04.of certain plants while others blossom. I think - I will - too bad

:13:04. > :13:14.I don't live here. I would like to be here every week. The pavilion

:13:14. > :13:15.

:13:15. > :13:19.There were a few showers around today, but fortunately, they

:13:19. > :13:24.managed to avoid Wimbledon. It looks like a half decent day again

:13:24. > :13:28.tomorrow for most of us. Tonight, ahead of that quite cool as skies

:13:28. > :13:32.clear. Winds stay light. Temperatures dip away, but it means

:13:32. > :13:36.after the recent heatwave another comfortable night for sleeping. The

:13:36. > :13:40.odd shower to the south and east of town. Most of the cloud melting

:13:40. > :13:44.away too, so we end up with pretty clear skies by the end of the night.

:13:44. > :13:46.Temperatures dipping away eventually to 11-12C. Not

:13:46. > :13:51.particularly chilly, but quite comfortable. Tomorrow morning, lots

:13:51. > :13:55.of sunshine to start with, but as the morning goes on, temperatures

:13:56. > :13:59.rise. We'll see cloud building up. Eventually we'll produce one or two

:13:59. > :14:04.showers from lunch time onwards. They will be hit and miss. There is

:14:04. > :14:14.a chance of interuptions at Wimbledon or the odd shower at

:14:14. > :14:17.

:14:17. > :14:27.Henley. The weekend at the moment That's it for this evening. We're

:14:27. > :14:33.

:14:33. > :14:38.Good evening. We have waved goodbye to the intense humidity and high

:14:38. > :14:42.heat. But that's not to say there won't be pleasant summer sunshine.

:14:42. > :14:45.It will be more comfortable. Cast your mind back to Sunday night

:14:45. > :14:49.where temperatures were stuck in the mid teens. Tonight for quite a

:14:49. > :14:52.few of us, it will drop down to single figures, a much fresher

:14:52. > :14:54.night. The reason is we're behind this cold front. That was the run

:14:55. > :14:59.that brought in the thunderstorms yesterday. We now have high

:14:59. > :15:01.pressure settling things down, but we've still got a bit of a north-

:15:01. > :15:05.westerly air flow bringing still a scattering of showers around at the

:15:05. > :15:10.moment. There will still be a few to come tomorrow. They tend to die

:15:10. > :15:14.out in many areas tonight. Under the clear skies, the it was fall

:15:14. > :15:17.away nicely. Still some showers in the morning across the north-west.

:15:17. > :15:20.They become more widespread tomorrow. There will be quite a bit

:15:20. > :15:24.of sunshine around. It will be a fresh start with those temperatures

:15:24. > :15:29.down at single figures first thing in the morning. The showers start

:15:29. > :15:31.off in the north-west but become more widespread. We'll see intense

:15:31. > :15:36.ones developing across north- eastern England by afternoon. Late

:15:36. > :15:39.in the day the showers tend to ease in Wales and south-east England -

:15:39. > :15:41.not too many across the Midlands. Sunshine here, but across

:15:41. > :15:45.Lincolnshire all the way up across north-east England into Eastern

:15:45. > :15:48.Scotland some heavy showers are likely with a risk of hail and

:15:49. > :15:52.thunder. A sprinkling of showers across north-west Scotland. For

:15:52. > :15:56.south-west Scotland, a few showers early on, but they should tend to

:15:56. > :15:58.die out. The showers may well be dying out for the laifrpbt and

:15:58. > :16:01.early evening for Northern Ireland. Good spells of sunshine here. It's

:16:01. > :16:05.a similar story for Wales. A few showers around the middle part of

:16:05. > :16:09.the day, but by the middle part of the day, most places dry and bright

:16:09. > :16:13.with sunshine. 19, the high in Cardiff. The south-west by and

:16:13. > :16:18.large having a fine end to the day. Sprinkling of showers, though,

:16:18. > :16:21.further east. The chance there for a shower or two for Wimbledon and

:16:21. > :16:25.ladies' semi-finals' day, but for the men's semi-finals, a fine day,

:16:25. > :16:33.as is much of the UK. Another chilly stpwaut, then temperatures

:16:33. > :16:37.up to 21-22C in the south-east, 18- 19C elsewhere. The vast majority

:16:37. > :16:41.look like having a dry weekend, not wall-to-wall sunshine. Cloud

:16:41. > :16:44.develops. Temperatures in the low teens, early 20s, much cooler than
