:00:57. > :01:04.sound from space debris, on show for the first time.
:01:05. > :01:06.Good evening and welcome to the programme.
:01:07. > :01:19.Rush hour has never been pleasant but just how poisonous, is it?
:01:20. > :01:22.Well if you're catching the Tube or Bus home tonight you might be
:01:23. > :01:24.exposed to eight times more pollution than motorists.
:01:25. > :01:26.That's even though car users produce far more pollution per person.
:01:27. > :01:29.A new study has compared how those using cars,
:01:30. > :01:31.buses and the underground in different areas of London were
:01:32. > :01:35.Chris Rogers has more and joins us from central London.
:01:36. > :01:40.It is amazing how many private cars you see with just one person in
:01:41. > :01:44.them. Those who can afford to drive themselves on tonight I the biggest
:01:45. > :01:50.polluters, but the least exposed. Those getting the number 14 bus or
:01:51. > :01:55.going to the tube station, who are trying to save money and the
:01:56. > :01:57.environment, but at a cost to their lungs. This study describes that as
:01:58. > :02:10.an environmental injustice. This piece of kit has been on a long
:02:11. > :02:15.journey. It measures the type of pollution and how much we are
:02:16. > :02:24.exposed to, and for how long for, depending how we commute to work.
:02:25. > :02:27.This green box is measuring the larger particles? Smaller particles
:02:28. > :02:33.of matter penetrate the lungs more easily than larger ones. But their
:02:34. > :02:43.content is particularly nasty on the underground. Were looking at iron,
:02:44. > :02:47.aluminium, and traces of Salford. Car drivers are the biggest
:02:48. > :02:52.pollutants, but because of filters in the engine, they are the least
:02:53. > :02:55.exposed. It is those of us who get the bus that are exposed to five
:02:56. > :02:59.times more pollution because the engines keep running when bosses
:03:00. > :03:05.pull into the bus stop. But this is the greatest pollutant of them all.
:03:06. > :03:14.The polluted air up above is sucked into deep tunnels underground, with
:03:15. > :03:16.nowhere to go. The deep tunnels on the Victoria and Northern lines are
:03:17. > :03:19.the worst. Is particularly bad if you're stood next to an open window.
:03:20. > :03:27.Tube passengers are exposed over eight times more of the larger
:03:28. > :03:32.pollutants than motorists. But to fewer of these so-called tiny
:03:33. > :03:38.particles. They are considered to be more dangerous. Tube passengers also
:03:39. > :03:42.had, on average, shorter journeys, says the study. It is those
:03:43. > :03:47.travelling on busses who should be more worried. While exposed to five
:03:48. > :03:57.times more of the larger pollutants than cars, but crucially more of the
:03:58. > :04:04.ultra-- fine particles. What mode of transport we use depends largely on
:04:05. > :04:09.our income. The report's authors describe the finding of proof of an
:04:10. > :04:14.environmental injustice. In the underground, I feel suffocated. It
:04:15. > :04:21.is easy to go on the bus. I just love busses. They need to do
:04:22. > :04:27.something about this. The Mayor of London committed to us that he is
:04:28. > :04:34.looking at improving our air. Starting with getting rid of diesel
:04:35. > :04:38.busses. An open letter from 220 doctors have warned the Prime
:04:39. > :04:39.Minister Time is running out to protect the health of a generation
:04:40. > :04:51.of children. Lots more to come, including how a
:04:52. > :04:52.nine-year-old was radicalised after watching jihadists videos in his
:04:53. > :05:07.west London home. Next, the death of Anita Sueich,
:05:08. > :05:09.Ben Wales and Karla Roman all in London, all last week has
:05:10. > :05:13.brought into sharp focus the dangers Today the husband of Anita Sueitch
:05:14. > :05:16.has spoken to this programme He was due to celebrate their first
:05:17. > :05:29.wedding anniversary next week. Thomas and his wife Anita on their
:05:30. > :05:40.honeymoon last year. The Met in Hungary five years ago. We planned
:05:41. > :05:53.our life together. She was an amazing person. She was always
:05:54. > :05:58.cheerful and happy. And there was really nobody who wouldn't be
:05:59. > :06:04.affected by her personality. Last Monday, Anita was killed after she
:06:05. > :06:08.was knocked over on her bicycle in Eglinton in a suspected hit-and-run.
:06:09. > :06:14.She had been returning from a late shift at work. She uses her bike
:06:15. > :06:21.because there are no night busses. She is a safe cyclist who followed
:06:22. > :06:24.the rules. She had a high visibility vest, whites, helmet, everything she
:06:25. > :06:30.needed. I'll was really worried about her safety. She was not
:06:31. > :06:38.worried. She was one of three cyclists killed on the road in
:06:39. > :06:44.London last week. This protest was held in Whitehall to urge the
:06:45. > :06:54.government to do more. I just don't want this to remain just a story,
:06:55. > :07:00.one of those who died. We need to keep this danger in the top of
:07:01. > :07:08.everyone's mind. Because this is a very busy city. And all of us, from
:07:09. > :07:14.pedestrians to bus drivers, everyone, we really need to pay
:07:15. > :07:19.attention. Two men arrested in connection with Anita's death have
:07:20. > :07:25.been bailed until March. Thomas says he plans to return to Japan, where
:07:26. > :07:35.they celebrated their honeymoon, to scatter her ashes. We were planning
:07:36. > :07:51.on going back this year. This way we will be there together.
:07:52. > :07:53.It's emerged that a nine year old boy from West London
:07:54. > :07:55.was investigated by counter terrorism officers -
:07:56. > :07:58.after he stood up in class and pledged his allegiance
:07:59. > :08:01.His real name isn't known but he had become fascinated
:08:02. > :08:05.Dan Freedman joins me now and this raises all sorts of questions.
:08:06. > :08:10.These officers tried to stop people being radicalised before it is too
:08:11. > :08:15.late. Children, teenagers and adults. More than 1000 cases since
:08:16. > :08:19.2012. This unnamed boy was a very intelligent and became curious about
:08:20. > :08:25.so-called Islamic State in the wake of the December 2015 Paris attacks.
:08:26. > :08:28.He started to do some research online. His words are spoken by an
:08:29. > :08:41.actor. I saw them hit men with their hands
:08:42. > :08:47.behind their backs. They were told to sit down. Then they cut off their
:08:48. > :08:55.heads. When the house was empty, I would sit freely in the living room
:08:56. > :08:59.and search up. It has been emerged -- it has emerged that he was
:09:00. > :09:05.bullied at school. Others called him a terrorist. At one point, he stood
:09:06. > :09:10.up in class and pledged his so-called support for the IDS group.
:09:11. > :09:15.And intervention took place. The school got in touch with officers. A
:09:16. > :09:25.woman started to visit him regularly in his home. We are not revealing
:09:26. > :09:29.queries years from or the group. She wanted to understand what fascinated
:09:30. > :09:34.him about these brittle videos. He said that IS were skinny to him and
:09:35. > :09:39.Warren was interesting. Things that made him happy worth his family, his
:09:40. > :09:47.friends, home and peace. Once she was happy that he understood how
:09:48. > :09:52.damaging this material that he was watching was, they were satisfied to
:09:53. > :09:56.close the case. He was very vulnerable. I think they were
:09:57. > :10:01.worried that he would meet the wrong person in a chat room and possibly
:10:02. > :10:04.become further radicalised. That is why they decided to stage such an
:10:05. > :10:16.intervention. Thank you. The father of a soldier
:10:17. > :10:18.from Romford - killed in Iraq - has criticised plans that
:10:19. > :10:21.will prevent the MoD from being sued The Government is proposing to scrap
:10:22. > :10:25.the legal duty of care to service personnel in combat -
:10:26. > :10:27.promising it will mean more generous payments

:10:54. > :10:56.under human rights law. The MoD's new proposals cover battle
:10:57. > :11:02.and the preparations for it. They include stopping legal

:11:29. > :11:31.and frustrating legal But there are real concerns
:11:32. > :11:39.about the Ministry of Defence scrapping the duty of care that it
:11:40. > :11:41.owes to soldiers. The fire brigade, the police,
:11:42. > :11:45.the Ambulance Service, they all have to go out
:11:46. > :11:49.with equipment that works. Well, that should be
:11:50. > :11:52.the same for a soldier. Lawyers worry that bypassing
:11:53. > :11:54.the courts creates unfairness. You think that the employer,
:11:55. > :11:57.the organisation, And yet you're asked to rely
:11:58. > :12:01.upon the MoD to assess the compensation that it should pay
:12:02. > :12:03.you for the damage But the MoD and Defence
:12:04. > :12:14.Secretary remain convinced What we are consulting on is a way
:12:15. > :12:23.of getting them faster and better compensation so that if the Ministry
:12:24. > :12:25.has done something wrong with a piece of equipment,

:12:53. > :12:56.of a 10 year old boy at a branch He suffered serious head
:12:57. > :12:59.injuries in an incident involving store furniture -
:13:00. > :13:01.and died later in hospital. Let's get more on this
:13:02. > :13:04.from James Ingham who is in Reading. James what more do we know
:13:05. > :13:11.about what happened? Well, few details have been released
:13:12. > :13:16.in the 24 hours since this incident which took place in the Topshop
:13:17. > :13:19.store buying a. Police have not confirmed this, but in the last
:13:20. > :13:25.hour, we found out that the boy who was killed was a ten-year-old from
:13:26. > :13:31.the Reading area. Police and paramedics responded to calls
:13:32. > :13:36.yesterday around 4:15pm that he had received serious head police then
:13:37. > :13:41.took -- paramedics took him to hospital in Reading, but he later
:13:42. > :13:45.died. They say this incident involves what they are calling a
:13:46. > :13:52.stored display barrier, but again few details regarding what that
:13:53. > :14:02.means. Today, the store has been close. These pictures show security
:14:03. > :14:10.guard standing outside. A police investigation is under way inside. A
:14:11. > :14:16.safety expert has been called to examine the scene. Topshop have told
:14:17. > :14:19.us in a statement that the board and thousands of staff are saddened by
:14:20. > :14:24.this horrific accident and their thoughts are with the family at this
:14:25. > :14:28.difficult time. They are thoroughly investigating events year. It is
:14:29. > :14:36.half term in Berkshire. Lots of parents out with their children at
:14:37. > :14:40.the shopping centre today. Those we spoke to today shared similar
:14:41. > :14:46.thoughts. Very saddened at what has happened here. Thank you.
:14:47. > :14:54.Still to come, I am at the science Museum. That is the sound from outer
:14:55. > :15:06.space. I will have more later in the programme.

:15:33. > :15:34.He's expecting a bill for around ?100,000 from the Council
:15:35. > :15:38.It's the first thing I think about every morning when I wake up,
:15:39. > :15:42.and it's the last thing I think about when I go to bed at night.

:16:03. > :16:05.I kept suggesting figures and they seemed to be
:16:06. > :16:10.And what I seemed to be getting the impression
:16:11. > :16:13.of was that there wouldn't be much change left from perhaps ?100,000.
:16:14. > :16:16.Four years ago, 93-year-old Florrie Bourne was sent a ?50,000

:16:46. > :16:47.They wanted to use those funds to repair properties
:16:48. > :16:53.Estates in need of extensive work like Tustin were deliberately
:16:54. > :16:56.left out of the bid, leaving leaseholders to fit the bill.
:16:57. > :16:59.Usually, the estates do need this work.
:17:00. > :17:02.Where there can be issues is over whether the works are the kinds

:17:23. > :17:25.Once we have the final costing, we will be having consultations
:17:26. > :17:28.with each and every leaseholder on the estate to work out what best
:17:29. > :17:30.options are for them in terms of payment.
:17:31. > :17:32.For Matthew, it's a nerve wracking few months ahead,

:17:47. > :17:48.Unused satellites, rocket parts and fuel tanks -
:17:49. > :17:50.just some of the space rubbish that is constantly
:17:51. > :17:55.Well, a machine which transforms the movement of this so called
:17:56. > :17:57.space junk into sound, is going on public display
:17:58. > :18:01.You can see and hear it operating at the Science Museum.
:18:02. > :18:03.Alpa Patel is there for us this evening.
:18:04. > :18:18.Well, let me introduce you to this machine. This is what space junk
:18:19. > :18:23.sounds like. Can you hear it? What you are hearing is thousands of
:18:24. > :18:27.pieces of space junk travelling above are. Space junk doesn't
:18:28. > :18:32.actually have any sound. What this machine is doing is converting that
:18:33. > :18:38.junk, the movement of it, into sound. Will find out more about how
:18:39. > :18:42.it works in a moment. First, here is what space junk is and how much of
:18:43. > :18:47.it is out there. In 1958, I was the first solar
:18:48. > :18:53.powered satellite to be Since my retirement,
:18:54. > :18:57.I have become a piece of space junk. Millions of other pieces
:18:58. > :19:01.of junk orbit with me. This is some of the debris currently
:19:02. > :19:21.orbiting planet Earth. Apparently people believe
:19:22. > :19:24.that harpoons, magnets And limit the future damage
:19:25. > :19:30.we threaten to cause. But right now there is no viable
:19:31. > :19:49.means to bring us back to Earth. Pretty amazing, isn't it? Let's find
:19:50. > :19:52.out about how this machine works. As you mentioned, we are tracking
:19:53. > :19:58.thousands of PCs, hundreds of thousands of pieces of space debris
:19:59. > :20:03.overhead. This machine tools and positional information of 27,000
:20:04. > :20:07.items that are over ten centimetres in diameter. And it publishes the
:20:08. > :20:20.name of each piece in sequence, one after another. The size, in this
:20:21. > :20:23.case is just under one metre. And 900 kilometres. The total number
:20:24. > :20:29.that have passed overhead since we switch this on is 3000. With each
:20:30. > :20:33.piece that passage directly overhead, we arrest sounds generated
:20:34. > :20:40.from one of these eight motorised stylist says along the length of
:20:41. > :20:49.this jack length cylindrical sonographic. You are a sound artist.
:20:50. > :20:54.By this subject matter? Myself and a fellow artist wanted to explore this
:20:55. > :20:58.sort of hidden world of space debris. She is a film-maker and made
:20:59. > :21:04.a documentary film exploring the narratives around space debris. She
:21:05. > :21:09.created an experience on Twitter. You can adopt a piece of space junk.
:21:10. > :21:15.We created this machine to transform space junk into a sensation. It is
:21:16. > :21:20.important for me to be able to comprehend it through my years.
:21:21. > :21:27.Thank you. This machine has attracted a lot of attention at the
:21:28. > :21:32.science Museum today. It draws attention to space debris floating
:21:33. > :21:38.out there. Scientists call this an environmental challenge. It is fun
:21:39. > :21:52.but has a serious side as well. Back to you. Thank you.
:21:53. > :21:55.Before we go, how better to end our programme
:21:56. > :21:57.on Valentine's Day then remember one of the greatest love affairs
:21:58. > :22:02.He was a war hero and an admiral, she the great beauty of her age.
:22:03. > :22:04.The problem was they were both married to others.
:22:05. > :22:06.Now a new exhibition at Greenwich's Royal Maritime Museum
:22:07. > :22:09.remembers the story and the scandal of Emma Hamilton and Lord Nelson.
:22:10. > :22:18.Lord Nelson, held in the highest esteem.
:22:19. > :22:23.His passions ran deep for a blacksmth's daughter, Emma Hamilton.
:22:24. > :22:31.Then this man, George Romney, the most fashionable painter
:22:32. > :22:34.of the day came across the young beauty and at his studio
:22:35. > :22:36.is here in Cavendish Square she became his news.
:22:37. > :22:38.The 18th century was a remarkable time for an explosion
:22:39. > :22:42.Mass produced cheap black-and-white prints of George Romney's paintings
:22:43. > :22:46.It was like Hello magazine for the first time.
:22:47. > :22:49.She is naturally beautiful, which is one of the reasons
:22:50. > :22:53.And those images are carried through to sort of the broader public.
:22:54. > :22:55.So printing technology and prints of Emma Hamilton
:22:56. > :23:06.Fame made her desirable and led to marriage with this man,
:23:07. > :23:13.Sir William Hamilton, the British envoy to Naples.
:23:14. > :23:15.It was here that Norfolk's favourite son, the hero of the day,
:23:16. > :23:24.Lord Nelson, stopped for supplies and an enduring love affair began.
:23:25. > :23:27.It was like a Hollywood romance, but it also fueled another feature
:23:28. > :23:30.Sir William watches as lovers carry on!
:23:31. > :23:35.Nelson and Lady Hamilton in Love tryst!
:23:36. > :23:40.Not only was Nelson married, the lovers conducted a fear openly,

:25:31. > :25:34.able to make out behind me. That low pressure system will spin off over
