:02:34. > :02:36.took today was an important one. Many people use this Crossing can
:02:37. > :02:40.live in Kent and work in Essex and vice versa and this will provide an
:02:41. > :02:46.extra option for them because it will ease the pressure on Dartford

:05:14. > :05:18.and he claims the majority of those were in favour of it. It looks like
:05:19. > :05:26.it will cost around ?5 billion. Will it end up being a toll bridge like
:05:27. > :05:30.the QE2 or Dartford Tunnel and the Government are saying we haven't

:09:26. > :09:27.And they will be a concern to Londoners...
:09:28. > :09:30.What we learned today is that Gun crime has gone up 42%
:09:31. > :09:40.The picture for Knife crime is bad too.
:09:41. > :09:46.With just over 12 thousand offences last year.
:09:47. > :09:53.And worryingly Knife crime with injury is up 21 per cent
:09:54. > :10:00.12 people injured by a knife very day in London.
:10:01. > :10:07.You don't need crime figures with a knife crime is a growing problem in
:10:08. > :10:14.London. This crime scene tape tells its own story. Following the fatal
:10:15. > :10:20.stabbing of a teenager in west London and in other deadly attack in
:10:21. > :10:24.east London, two more signs of a growing problem for the Met. There
:10:25. > :10:29.are far too many young people being seriously injured and in a number of
:10:30. > :10:32.cases killed because of what is a fight three people are using knives
:10:33. > :10:35.and it concerns me that what we are seeing and Italy and those numbers
:10:36. > :10:39.is an increased number of young people who originally carrying a
:10:40. > :10:46.knife around of whatever sort with them. The Met has gone and the front
:10:47. > :10:54.foot of a set of figures that make grim reading. All numbers are up. I
:10:55. > :10:58.think with statistics rising as they have done and that would have more
:10:59. > :11:02.guns of the street, you can say of the reasons as there are more guns
:11:03. > :11:06.in circulation. We have taken more guns off the street and the last two
:11:07. > :11:10.years than ever before, 1400 guns have been taken off the streets of
:11:11. > :11:18.London. Well crime is rising, detection rates have fallen. The Met
:11:19. > :11:21.has been criticised for being hundreds of detective short. City
:11:22. > :11:25.Hall today called the figure is deeply disturbing and called for the
:11:26. > :11:29.Met's funding to be protected from further cuts. Over the last four
:11:30. > :11:32.years we have taken over ?600 million order for a budget and other
:11:33. > :11:37.savings that we are going to make sure that will have an impact on an
:11:38. > :11:41.organisation's capability. The Met like other forces around the country
:11:42. > :11:42.is facing a budget squeeze at a time when Kramer is beginning to rise
:11:43. > :11:45.again. And if we take a look at those
:11:46. > :11:48.overall crime figures ..... They've gone up by 4.6%
:11:49. > :11:51.in the last year .... It is going in the wrong
:11:52. > :11:54.direction of course, but the Met keen to point out today
:11:55. > :11:58.that that figure is still 16 per cent lower than the total number
:11:59. > :12:04.of crimes ten years ago. I know we can all sometimes get
:12:05. > :12:06.carried away with statistics in order to prove a point,
:12:07. > :12:15.but here's an important one for you - one in five -
:12:16. > :12:18.that's 20% of all children in London - risks going hungry
:12:19. > :12:20.every school day. And that figure only increases
:12:21. > :12:22.during the school holidays - and so a local project in Brixton
:12:23. > :12:37.is leading the way in Many mums will know that after a
:12:38. > :12:44.game of football there are boys just want to be fed. These mums are
:12:45. > :12:49.volunteering today and Johnson's playing here to helping to cater for
:12:50. > :12:52.over 60 boys. We have so and stuff. The aim is to make sure children
:12:53. > :12:57.from lower income families are kept fit and fill up during the holidays.
:12:58. > :13:02.They get a proper meal, freshly cooked on the day and it is healthy.
:13:03. > :13:07.They get that along with three football so it is all good. I think
:13:08. > :13:10.is important for them to come out of the house and do something
:13:11. > :13:19.constructive to stop it has worked so well here that the idea has been
:13:20. > :13:25.rolled out nationally. And bringing a bit of song and sauce to the long
:13:26. > :13:30.as the leading act as local entrepreneur Levi roots. There is a
:13:31. > :13:33.serious reason behind the scheme, it is estimated half a million children
:13:34. > :13:36.in London are facing hunger and the summer borders. Back in my day be
:13:37. > :13:40.never had that kind of problem because it was more of a community
:13:41. > :13:45.spirit and be looked after each other. No I think it is about
:13:46. > :13:48.individual lives and becomes harder for patients because it is so
:13:49. > :13:52.individualistic the way that we live nowadays. It is going to meet them
:13:53. > :13:55.together in unity liquid we have done today. The programme aims to
:13:56. > :14:01.help seven and a half thousand children from 250 disadvantaged
:14:02. > :14:05.areas. It is a hidden problem. When you think about it, it makes sense
:14:06. > :14:09.that if kids are getting free school meals they are not getting them
:14:10. > :14:12.during the holidays. There is an issue there. The question is how
:14:13. > :14:16.other families able to do with that issue and the gap. Most of the
:14:17. > :14:19.funding is public and much of the food donated but of course it has
:14:20. > :14:26.the football that keeps the kids coming back. Me and my team played
:14:27. > :14:32.and we didn't give up. Did you could make it better? The food was nice.
:14:33. > :14:38.And I enjoyed eating food because it tells me to get strong. It admits
:14:39. > :14:48.she wonder why any capital and 2017, our children still going hungry.
:14:49. > :14:54.This is what's still to come before seven.

:16:01. > :16:10.This is a small piece from circa 1922, 1924 when Moore
:16:11. > :16:16.was a student in London at the Royal College of Art.
:16:17. > :16:21.This is made from plasticine on the subject of the mother and child.
:16:22. > :16:24.And I understand that this has never been seen by the public before.
:16:25. > :16:29.The reason is because these pieces are quite experimental,
:16:30. > :16:33.they are ideas and develop that rather than finished work
:16:34. > :16:37.and therefore they don't necessarily have that kind of wide appeal
:16:38. > :16:40.and don't necessarily look like a Henry Moore.
:16:41. > :16:42.There are five studios here at the foundation in Hertfordshire.
:16:43. > :16:46.This one is called the Maquette studio which means model in French.

:19:06. > :19:11.Except nowadays and they just don't see it.
:19:12. > :19:14.They wouldn't say it, and the woman could say, how much?
:19:15. > :19:18.And obviously we can't pay you as much as the chaps.
:19:19. > :19:20.I don't think we've been properly introduced.
:19:21. > :19:23.But it's not just about sexism, it's also about propaganda and how
:19:24. > :19:24.important that was to the war effort.
