A leading surgeon calls for all young people

:00:00.:00:07.

to be taught first aid, after a recent rise in knife crime.

:00:08.:00:14.

First response can make an enormous difference to patients of idle, and

:00:15.:00:21.

what better education could you have four children than to teach them in

:00:22.:00:24.

an age appropriate way to save somebody else's life? TRANSLATION:

:00:25.:00:29.

It comes as the parents of a boy stabbed to death

:00:30.:00:31.

outside his school talk to us about the pain

:00:32.:00:34.

The pensioner who says the plans for a third runway have

:00:35.:00:39.

Have you brought this 1's sweetheart?

:00:40.:00:44.

Trading for the final time, as London's biggest flower market

:00:45.:00:46.

And Dippy may have left its London home,but apparently other dinosaurs

:00:47.:00:50.

Welcome to the programme this Friday evening with me, Riz Lateef.

:00:51.:01:07.

First tonight, all schoolchildren in London should

:01:08.:01:10.

be taught 'first-aid - after the recent

:01:11.:01:12.

That's what a leading trauma surgeon has told this programme.

:01:13.:01:17.

He says he believes teaching them these skills

:01:18.:01:19.

will not only save lives, but gives them a rrespect for life.

:01:20.:01:23.

We've also heard from mothers concerned that their children,

:01:24.:01:25.

Justin's mum was left horrified when she reached into her son's bag

:01:26.:01:34.

My mum took me upstairs to talk to me.

:01:35.:01:38.

She got out the knife that I had and she said, did you take this?

:01:39.:01:45.

She confronted her son and was left surprised by his reaction.

:01:46.:01:51.

Because he saw other students and school kids carrying a knife,

:01:52.:01:59.

because it was a trend, and it was cool to do so.

:02:00.:02:03.

Latest figures show the number of London school children found

:02:04.:02:06.

to be carrying knives has doubled in the last five years.

:02:07.:02:09.

A Freedom of Information request revealed that in 2011 just over

:02:10.:02:13.

150 school children were found to be carrying knives.

:02:14.:02:16.

In 2016 this had risen to nearly 300.

:02:17.:02:20.

With London's young people exposed to more knife crime than ever before

:02:21.:02:23.

experts are calling for much more to be done.

:02:24.:02:26.

One of the capital's reading trauma surgeon says that by teaching

:02:27.:02:29.

children how to save lives it could turn them away from being

:02:30.:02:32.

You have to start with age-appropriate information,

:02:33.:02:37.

not just to install the right mindset and the myths

:02:38.:02:39.

and realities around it, but also the value of life and how

:02:40.:02:44.

What better way to do that than educating children

:02:45.:02:56.

If we had someone, let's say it's me, I have been stabbed in the arm,

:02:57.:03:01.

Here at this school a London based charity is delivering

:03:02.:03:05.

They say training like this should be rolled out

:03:06.:03:08.

Until first aid training like this is rolled out across schools London

:03:09.:03:35.

will rely on volunteers and charities to

:03:36.:03:37.

Cool in winter buys near the win back into Justin's back to Friday

:03:38.:03:44.

night. I expect it now. Well, a mother who

:03:45.:03:46.

lost her son to knife crime two months ago,

:03:47.:03:48.

after he was stabbed outside his school in Kensal Green

:03:49.:03:50.

has spoken to this programme She said her son Quamari

:03:51.:03:52.

was considerate and cared about other people's feelings,

:03:53.:03:57.

as Anna O'Neil reports. We were in Queens Park

:03:58.:04:01.

with him and he was playing football and he goes,

:04:02.:04:05.

I want ice cream, he was crying. In January this year Lillian

:04:06.:04:09.

and Paul got the call every parent Their son Quamari had been

:04:10.:04:12.

stabbed outside school. She told me not to panic. She just

:04:13.:04:31.

had a call saying that he had been stabbed. We literally, me and my

:04:32.:04:37.

other daughter dropped what we were doing and made our way straight to

:04:38.:04:38.

the school. When he was on the floor

:04:39.:04:55.

He was still being very strong with what it is that he wanted.

:04:56.:05:00.

He did not want all of his friends to see him like that.

:05:01.:05:05.

You must have thought he was going to be all right?

:05:06.:05:08.

You would hope that your child is going to be all right.

:05:09.:05:14.

I think a lot of the times people just dismiss things

:05:15.:05:21.

as not affecting me, it is no one I know,

:05:22.:05:24.

There is a problem, a big problem, and we have to wake up to this

:05:25.:05:29.

What to do to try to eradicate this problem, because it is not

:05:30.:05:39.

A 15-year-old boy has been charged with murder

:05:40.:05:45.

More than 90% of burglaries in London in the last five

:05:46.:06:01.

Figures from the Metropolitan Police also show that of almost

:06:02.:06:05.

?1 billion of goods stolen in the capital less

:06:06.:06:07.

The force says it's done a lot to reduce burglary

:06:08.:06:10.

but admitted it was challenging to identify those responsible.

:06:11.:06:13.

The London Fire Brigade says it's concerned not enough schools have

:06:14.:06:15.

New figures suggest there've been around 700 fires in recent

:06:16.:06:19.

years in London schools, but sprinklers were only

:06:20.:06:21.

Almost one in five fires were started deliberately.

:06:22.:06:25.

The Government is consulting on proposals which remove

:06:26.:06:28.

the "expectation" that new schools would have sprinklers installed.

:06:29.:06:35.

A doctor has admitted that the life of a mother-of-three from Kent might

:06:36.:06:38.

well have been saved, if he'd taken the trouble

:06:39.:06:40.

Sian Holland was 25 when she died at the Darent Valley

:06:41.:06:45.

This afternoon her family ran from her inquest in tears.

:06:46.:06:49.

4-wood's family the inquest into her death was about uncovering the

:06:50.:07:05.

truth. Today what was described in the court a significant new evidence

:07:06.:07:10.

highlighted by doctors failed to diagnose the pulmonary embolism that

:07:11.:07:15.

killed her. If they had just looked at in a resented it as a human

:07:16.:07:18.

being, my sister would still be here. It is extremely hard. When you

:07:19.:07:26.

heard that in court, you had to leave? I did, yeah, I couldn't

:07:27.:07:33.

listen to any more. Good night you feel you finally heard the truth.

:07:34.:07:37.

Yeah, I'm glad I heard the truth, for my mum and her children.

:07:38.:07:43.

Throughout the inquest, doctors claimed they had never seen nurses

:07:44.:07:48.

note saying Sian Holland had had difficulties breathing and had

:07:49.:07:51.

experienced chest pains which led to a wrong diagnosis, but today those

:07:52.:07:54.

records were found, and on the reverse side were the handwritten

:07:55.:07:59.

notes of the Doctor who had treated her. It led to a dramatic courtroom

:08:00.:08:05.

exchange. The family's barrister told the doctor it means you could

:08:06.:08:10.

not have read what was staring you in the face. To which the doctor

:08:11.:08:16.

replied, yes. He added, you have simply failed to read the notes in

:08:17.:08:21.

front of you, there is no excuse. The doctor responded, I should have,

:08:22.:08:23.

I should have gone through the notes. Finally he said simply

:08:24.:08:30.

turning over the page and Sian Holland might still be alive, do you

:08:31.:08:36.

accept? The doctor said yes. In court, the Darent Valley trust said

:08:37.:08:44.

the apologies to the family. If they turned on that page looked at that

:08:45.:08:48.

page, things would have been different. We wouldn't be standing

:08:49.:08:52.

here today. She would still be alive and well. The inquest has now been

:08:53.:08:55.

adjourned for the coroner to consider his verdict.

:08:56.:08:58.

Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust have issued a statement

:08:59.:09:01.

offering its sincere condolences to the family and friends.

:09:02.:09:05.

It says it'll await the outcome of the coroner's inquest and that it

:09:06.:09:08.

will comply with any direction given by the coroner.

:09:09.:09:15.

This majestic bird is the mascot used by Crystal Palace -

:09:16.:09:20.

but at a game marred by crowd trouble, one man decided to try

:09:21.:09:23.

Today, Daniel Boylett was found guilty of

:09:24.:09:26.

Jim Wheble has been following the story and joins me

:09:27.:09:30.

It all happened here at Crystal Palace's Stadium during the Capital

:09:31.:09:46.

One match against local rivals Charlton in 2015. This was a game

:09:47.:09:52.

that was described in court as being marred by violent disorder even

:09:53.:09:56.

before the kick-off. Kayla, who you should be able to see on your

:09:57.:10:00.

screen, an American bald eagle, Crystal Palace and of course

:10:01.:10:04.

otherwise known as the Eagles, was being paraded on the edge of the

:10:05.:10:09.

picture on the arm of how hard luck when Charlton supporter Daniel

:10:10.:10:13.

Boylett lend over their barrier and swung a punch. Quite an astonishing

:10:14.:10:18.

act according to her handler. There is a very good chance, if he had hit

:10:19.:10:23.

Kayla, he possibly could have killed her. I just can't understand why

:10:24.:10:28.

anyone would want to hurt Kayla. She's a very tolerant, and I just

:10:29.:10:35.

don't understand why anyone would try and punch a hole at her. -- or

:10:36.:10:45.

hurt her. Because of his actions, Daniel Boylett was found guilty of

:10:46.:10:49.

violent disorder and attempted damage, he will be sentenced in

:10:50.:10:53.

April. Not to make light of this rather ugly incident, it is worth

:10:54.:10:59.

noting that Kayla the eagle, at 25, has already led Arab rather

:11:00.:11:03.

intriguing life. She was stolen from a nest as a chicken Canada, from

:11:04.:11:07.

then she has appeared on the covers of albums, stand in dance film set,

:11:08.:11:14.

and is now found a home here in south-east London.

:11:15.:11:17.

Next: the former social worker, now in her 70s who says

:11:18.:11:20.

she been forced to do something she's never done before,

:11:21.:11:22.

It's all over controversial plans for a third runway at Heathrow -

:11:23.:11:28.

which the Government says is still the best way

:11:29.:11:30.

of expanding airport capacity, and that many locals support it.

:11:31.:11:33.

A new runway at Heathrow, a plan the Government supports. The decision we

:11:34.:11:48.

have reached today so important to set our country on a path to even

:11:49.:11:53.

greater perspective. But some Londoners are saying no. Jenny is 70

:11:54.:12:00.

years old, she is a former social worker from Clapham. Jelle I worked

:12:01.:12:05.

with young people with all sorts of problems. I've been very

:12:06.:12:07.

well-behaved for the majority of my life. She is now changing and says

:12:08.:12:15.

it is because of the plan to expand Heathrow. It is not just the planes,

:12:16.:12:21.

it is also the transport that goes to that airport. Be followed her as

:12:22.:12:26.

she joined up with activists and was taught techniques used to chain

:12:27.:12:30.

themselves together and blocked a road. I got the hang of it. The

:12:31.:12:34.

first time she tries this at Heathrow Airport, I like 15 other

:12:35.:12:40.

activists, she cannot outrun the police, and training comes to

:12:41.:12:44.

nothing. Feel really frustrated, because you build yourself up to

:12:45.:12:48.

something, and you want to be successful. What some campaigners

:12:49.:12:54.

against runway three and are hoping for is a steady escalation in all

:12:55.:13:01.

forms of resistance. Legal and illegal. Lets put more hurdles in

:13:02.:13:05.

the wake of the third runway, we did that last time ten years ago, and we

:13:06.:13:11.

won. Some new campaigning groups are now being formed. This is in

:13:12.:13:16.

Hammersmith. Matt the phoney war is over, everyone is beginning. Other

:13:17.:13:21.

Londoners think this is a battle that has already lost. This pub

:13:22.:13:28.

landlord which faces demolition will lose his home on the runway is

:13:29.:13:32.

built, but he's happy with the compensation of market value' 5% and

:13:33.:13:36.

says Heathrow expansion will benefit many. The runway will expand the

:13:37.:13:42.

size of Heathrow, and my children, their children will have financial

:13:43.:13:48.

security, jobs around the area. Three months after her failure, and

:13:49.:13:52.

Jenny tried again. And starting to feel happy. This time she succeeded

:13:53.:13:59.

in blocking the tunnel that these two terminals two and three. It

:14:00.:14:07.

caused miles of jams. She admitted obstructing a highway and was given

:14:08.:14:10.

a conditional discharge, and it hasn't put off taking more action.

:14:11.:14:18.

Bring it on. You'll break the like" Lakmal yes. Heathrow may be

:14:19.:14:22.

confident it can deliver runway three, but the battle over London

:14:23.:14:24.

ends skies is not over yet. But I just before 7pm, I got a full

:14:25.:14:40.

weekend when a forecast. Join me if you can. -- weather.

:14:41.:14:49.

It was the last day of trading at London's biggest flower market -

:14:50.:14:52.

as New Covent Garden market prepares to move again.

:14:53.:14:54.

It's been based in Nine Elms in south west London since moving

:14:55.:14:57.

Marc Ashdown has spent the day with traders.

:14:58.:15:07.

If you are buying a bunch for someone special this weekend,

:15:08.:15:13.

chances are they came from here. The quarters of London's flowers are

:15:14.:15:16.

supplied to new Covent Garden market, but now it is on the move.

:15:17.:15:21.

This market is dated a little bit, in need to be predated the 21st. Its

:15:22.:15:27.

progress. We got to be positive about it. It's a brand-new market. I

:15:28.:15:31.

came to this one when aroused by new. Goes like that was 43 years

:15:32.:15:35.

ago. Today the last day of trading here. Jelle good morning. Top of the

:15:36.:15:41.

world. Some like Tony still hanker back to the old market in Covent

:15:42.:15:47.

Garden proper. I grew up there, so it was home. You knew everybody,

:15:48.:15:52.

everybody knew one another. The hustle and bustle, the daily grind

:15:53.:15:57.

of the West End. Once there was a Covent Garden when he sells fruit

:15:58.:16:02.

and veg. The middle market opened in 1670 and moved here in 1974. It was

:16:03.:16:08.

opened by the Queen. Are no Covent Garden market... Goes like this next

:16:09.:16:14.

move is all about money. It is 57 acres, which needs new buildings and

:16:15.:16:19.

the only way to build new buildings is to move this market and redevelop

:16:20.:16:24.

the whole of the site. Have you bought this one? Got back some added

:16:25.:16:29.

him to keep the old traditions alive and in five years' time they could

:16:30.:16:33.

be moving yet again. Five years' time which makes me 66, if it is

:16:34.:16:38.

ready at the look of to another move, because then I have done for

:16:39.:16:41.

Covent Garden 's, and I'm at the right age will have that accolade to

:16:42.:16:46.

myself. It is last orders at the market cafe, this is not just any

:16:47.:16:52.

cafe. Goes on and general election campaign, Ed Miliband stopped for a

:16:53.:16:58.

re-fuel. The game and EZ and hungry, what have you got. I said what you

:16:59.:17:04.

fancy, and he said a bacon sandwich. It didn't go so well. The humble

:17:05.:17:07.

bacon sandwich and became front-page news. Tony had other concerns. It

:17:08.:17:17.

looks like... Goes back from Monday this will all have a new home half a

:17:18.:17:21.

mile up the road, which begs the final question, what will it be

:17:22.:17:26.

known as now? We will call it brand-new Covent Garden market. You

:17:27.:17:30.

can't call it the same, because it is new new. A little bit smaller,

:17:31.:17:34.

less of cleaner, upmarket. Now, it's the Boat Race this Sunday

:17:35.:17:40.

- when the competition between Oxford and Cambridge Universities

:17:41.:17:43.

takes to the Thames. But this year, one prestigious

:17:44.:17:45.

London school will have a very big Because three of the four coxes

:17:46.:17:47.

are former students - Hugh and Sophia coxes, their job is

:17:48.:18:07.

to get from start to finish as quickly as possible. No I had to

:18:08.:18:10.

make the decisions, and if there's any doubt about it then I make the

:18:11.:18:14.

final call, and also that is half my job, the other half is I the boat. I

:18:15.:18:19.

make we are running the right course. This Sunday's three of the

:18:20.:18:24.

4-macro too funny men's and women's boat races will be former

:18:25.:18:29.

Westminster students. These boats regularly rode down the same bit of

:18:30.:18:34.

river that the same crews will be coming down on Sunday. You can see

:18:35.:18:39.

that the advantage it might be to have coxes any of those familiar

:18:40.:18:42.

with what can be unpredictable waters. I point out to the guards...

:18:43.:18:49.

That is Hammersmith Bridge, just over a third end, dealing into

:18:50.:18:54.

everyone those markers. With what I like this I think they might not

:18:55.:18:59.

make it. They are almost fully underwater now. The conditions

:19:00.:19:03.

aren't expected be as tough as they were last year, but it helps to be

:19:04.:19:07.

prepared. To an extent that is on the back of my head, but at the same

:19:08.:19:12.

time that was very extraneous circumstances, like a lot of things,

:19:13.:19:16.

came together for that to happen. It has been used in funny in that I

:19:17.:19:19.

have taught myself to that situation again and what we can do

:19:20.:19:23.

differently. Across the line, it is the dark blues in front, Oxford are

:19:24.:19:29.

the winners of the 159 the boat race. Cambridge came close. There

:19:30.:19:33.

can be some interesting language from the person urging their crew to

:19:34.:19:36.

victory. Merrimack attracted you to a minimum, it's... During races

:19:37.:19:43.

colourful limeys gets them fired up, you take advantage of that. Whether

the language is blue are not, regardless of which bluebirds

a ceramic painting course. Well now a hundred years on,

it's proved so popular - with both sexes - that the college

:20:19.:20:23.

schools across London with people wanting to throw down their clay

:20:24.:20:29.

and design their own ceramics. People fit into their busy

:21:41.:21:42.

a lot of at Tilbury... This is like a sort

:21:43.:21:44.

of mini rolling pin. You are intrigued,

:21:45.:21:46.

what could that be? It is easy to see how rolling

on a tour of the UK but that doesn't mean London can be

without its dinosaurs. Because there are some

rex. Let's get a check on the weekened

:24:34.:24:35.

weather, shall we? One threatening skyline to another.

:24:36.:24:49.

The weather, tale of two halves, change of the month and change the

:24:50.:24:53.

weather with April showers. It is not all doom and gloom. This is how

:24:54.:24:59.

it looked morning. Since then we've had a little bit of rain this

:25:00.:25:04.

morning, things are changing. We've got clout as you can see to start

:25:05.:25:08.

the morning and then as we home in on the London meeting for the

:25:09.:25:12.

afternoon, the sun came out. It was a lovely afternoon with plenty of

:25:13.:25:15.

blue sky for most of us. Clouds are gathering towards the west, even

:25:16.:25:20.

though we had the sunshine we didn't have the dizzy 22 we had yesterday,

:25:21.:25:24.

had about 17, but it still felt pleasant. We're changing the script

materialise. One last night, it will be a fresher night to night but

:25:45.:25:48.

still not cold. No worries for Gardens tonight at least, but we are

:25:49.:25:54.

in for some chilly nights. Tomorrow, showers do materialise. It won't be

:25:55.:25:58.

raining constantly but expect if few prolonged showers and possibly

:25:59.:26:02.

Sohail and thunder and lightning. Gusty winds but generally speaking

:26:03.:26:06.

with light winds between the showers, lengthy spells of sunshine

:26:07.:26:15.

at 15 or 16 Celsius. Showers go to do the evening but tend to fade away

:26:16.:26:19.

overnight, so it looks like the second part of the weekend will be

:26:20.:26:23.

drier, because we lose our low-pressure, build high pressure

:26:24.:26:27.

for the second half of the weekend which will cut to the showers and

:26:28.:26:31.

give us a much nicer dry day. It does mean a will of the mistake, but

:26:32.:26:37.

more sunshine as you go the day. Temperatures should get to around

:26:38.:26:41.

1415 Celsius, and it should be fine for the boat race and not as not as

:26:42.:26:47.

choppy as last weekend. And Chuck because the god got the red memo.

The European Union has rejected one of the government's key requests

:26:57.:26:59.

The NHS in England has revised its strategy for the service,

in order to give more priority to cancer treatment and to ease

It acknowledges that, as a "trade-off", waiting times

And one of the biggest wildlife conservation project ever seen in

Britain has been launched. Called back from the brink, the scheme aims

to save at least 20 species from extinction.

:27:29.:27:31.

That is all we had time far but I will be back for the latest during

:27:32.:27:38.
