:02:57. > :03:00.on May the 6th, a day after I'm hopefully elected
:03:01. > :03:02.as the Mayor of London. It was one he repeated
:03:03. > :03:04.during the campaign. I've got a fully funded
:03:05. > :03:06.package to freeze fares of the next four years,

:03:29. > :03:33.completely stupid? He said before the election that
:03:34. > :03:36.Londoners would not pay a penny more Well, clearly a lot of them found
:03:37. > :03:47.out that today they are paying more. I think the mayor has got to stop
:03:48. > :03:50.peddling this line because it's quite clear to most commuters
:03:51. > :03:55.going to work today that the paying more for the travel card and more
:03:56. > :03:59.for the cap on their Oyster It's about time the mayor started

:04:04. > :04:07.fares will save the average London household around ?200 over
:04:08. > :04:09.the next four years. My point to the Government is, look,

:04:14. > :04:15.if I can make efficiency savings, if I can increase revenue streams

:04:59. > :05:04.travelling in and around London, things are going from bad to worse.
:05:05. > :05:08.Next week, there is an ongoing dispute with Southern Rail. The
:05:09. > :05:16.drivers are on strike for a whopping six days. It is to do with the
:05:17. > :05:22.driver free operated trains. Drivers will now be in charge of closing the
:05:23. > :05:26.doors and trains. It kicks off on Monday, the 9th of January. It comes
:05:27. > :05:35.to the end on the 14th of January. The services affected, which
:05:36. > :05:45.services would be affected are Thameslink. Aside from... The
:05:46. > :05:52.services would be affected or Thameslink... It's going to be so
:05:53. > :05:59.bad that Southern real for the duration of the action. There has
:06:00. > :06:04.also been a call for a price freeze on Southern Rail whilst the dispute
:06:05. > :06:10.continues. Yes, this has been going on for nine months. Strike action as
:06:11. > :06:19.well as a ban on drivers taking over -- Britain. The watchdog is calling
:06:20. > :06:27.for a price hike to be frozen until this dispute comes to an end.
:06:28. > :06:33.Southern Rail met today to come to some kind of conclusion but it fell
:06:34. > :06:38.through. It is unlikely that there will be a solution soon. Thank you
:06:39. > :06:39.very much. Commuters are only too familiar
:06:40. > :06:41.with strikes and disruption on southern services
:06:42. > :06:43.over the past year. On that note, we'd

:07:28. > :07:29.she has decided to go public in the hope it will bring change

:07:50. > :07:52.she was travelling on didn't I was embarrassed,
:07:53. > :07:59.I was very angry and... Honestly, you know,
:08:00. > :08:10.I felt very disabled. Anne had been at a UK Athletics
:08:11. > :08:13.board meeting in Coventry to get home she took a CrossCountry train
:08:14. > :08:19.from the Midlands to Stansted, where the accessible
:08:20. > :08:21.toilet was out of order. About half an hour into her journey,
:08:22. > :08:24.she needed the bathroom. Staff suggested she could get off
:08:25. > :08:27.at the next train station and use the disabled toilet there,
:08:28. > :08:30.but there was no one there to help so she had to wait until the next
:08:31. > :08:33.stop and by that time It just really took away
:08:34. > :08:38.all the confidence that I'd I've always said that as human
:08:39. > :08:48.beings or people with different needs we are only disabled
:08:49. > :08:50.by the barriers that Although the train Anne
:08:51. > :08:56.was on it did have accessible facilities, the issue
:08:57. > :08:58.was that they weren't working. Disability campaigners believe train
:08:59. > :09:00.companies should put more We still have a kind
:09:01. > :09:05.of tick box mentality towards disability and access,
:09:06. > :09:11.so we tick the box that the toilet is there on the train,
:09:12. > :09:20.we don't think about how we need to consider that it's
:09:21. > :09:22.working all the time. Despite the humiliation,
:09:23. > :09:25.Anne said she spoke out to expose some of the injustice faced
:09:26. > :09:27.by people living with disabilities and hopes her story will improve
:09:28. > :09:36.things so no one else has got So what is the train
:09:37. > :09:52.operator saying about this? Unfortunately, they were not
:09:53. > :10:05.available to speak to us on camera. But they said...
:10:06. > :10:12.What are the legalities in terms of facilities for disabled passengers?
:10:13. > :10:18.It must be said that disabled access is better than ever before. There
:10:19. > :10:23.are strict guidelines. Most trains have accessible toilet facilities.
:10:24. > :10:29.The issue was that the toilet was out of order. By 2020, there will be
:10:30. > :10:32.more legislation in place to ensure that all accessible toilets are
:10:33. > :10:36.regularly maintained because that is a huge issue. One campaign group
:10:37. > :10:44.spokes as today and said that they believed that staff cuts across the
:10:45. > :10:49.network had able to play in this. Had she been able to get off at the
:10:50. > :10:53.first stop was there was a toilet, she would have applauded the
:10:54. > :11:00.situation. The reason that she came out and told the story. She wanted
:11:01. > :11:06.to make sure that it never happened to anyone again. -- she would have
:11:07. > :11:07.avoided the situation. Access needs to be taken seriously. Thank you
:11:08. > :11:08.very much. It blights neighbourhoods and costs
:11:09. > :11:10.the taxpayers thousands. New figures show there's been
:11:11. > :11:13.a growth in the amount of household waste being illegally dumped
:11:14. > :11:15.in streets or fields. But they also show new powers
:11:16. > :11:18.to penalise flytippers have been used more in London than anywhere
:11:19. > :11:35.else in the UK. Fly-tipping can be a big problem or
:11:36. > :11:40.a small one. Either way, it affects all of London, particularly new.
:11:41. > :11:45.It's really disgusting. It shouldn't be like this. It's recycling. This
:11:46. > :11:53.is where I live. Seeing that makes me not want to be here. It is quite
:11:54. > :11:58.bad. It's keeping the yummy mummies away which causes me a lot of grief
:11:59. > :12:03.because I was hoping they would come in. Some is domestic rubbish and
:12:04. > :12:10.some is commercial... Enforcement officers like these have been able
:12:11. > :12:14.to use new paddlers since the month of May in order to prevent
:12:15. > :12:24.fly-tipping. It's instant justice no. Newman had the worst
:12:25. > :12:29.fly-tipping. They have used the primaries the most in the country.
:12:30. > :12:36.In total in London, they have been used over a 700 times. The idea is
:12:37. > :12:39.not to deal with industrial fly-tipping or letter but more
:12:40. > :12:44.something like this, from a member of the public or a small business.
:12:45. > :12:50.The council have made ?48,000 for this so far. This is not just a
:12:51. > :12:54.money making enterprise. No. When you consider all of the reasons we
:12:55. > :13:00.have to put into this. It doesn't pay the officer 's wages. It's
:13:01. > :13:06.something that we feel we must do. Not a moneymaking exercise. Did a

:14:48. > :14:52.When she later enquired about the baby's remains,
:14:53. > :14:54.she was told they'd been sent away for testing at another hospital.

:15:33. > :15:37.You would find out what she would want and you would give her options.

:15:41. > :15:42.in a statement they have apologised to Laura Percival for any distress
:15:43. > :15:48.They also added that sending tissue away for testing was common practice
