:00:46. > :00:49.of the Marvel's superhero sequel Four drivers have admitted falling
:00:50. > :01:14.asleep while operating trams in Croydon -
:01:15. > :01:20.where seven people were killed after a tram derailed
:01:21. > :01:21.in November last year. A BBC investigation has also
:01:22. > :01:21.discovered a failure with a safety device that was not reported
:01:22. > :01:23.to the regulator and three The tram operators said
:01:24. > :01:27.they were satisfied the controls were safe and driver
:01:28. > :01:46.fatigue was monitored. A speeding tram. No emergency brake.
:01:47. > :01:52.The disaster here where seven people were killed. Over 50 injured. Have
:01:53. > :01:58.you fallen asleep? Yes, once in ten years. How many drivers to think a
:01:59. > :02:04.fallen asleep in the cab? I would say most drivers have in their
:02:05. > :02:07.career. He's admitting what many would consider gross misconduct
:02:08. > :02:13.because of this. It is called attraction brake controller, TBC.
:02:14. > :02:18.The driving lever that powers the tram. Inside, the safety device
:02:19. > :02:26.known as the dead man's handle. This driver says when he fell asleep it
:02:27. > :02:31.didn't work. Was there an alarm? No. No emergency braking whatsoever. My
:02:32. > :02:35.hand remained on the TBC. That was enough the dead man's handle to have
:02:36. > :02:40.been activated. Why aren't drivers telling the operators what's going
:02:41. > :02:45.on? If we were to come forward and say excuse me, I fell asleep, I
:02:46. > :02:53.think you would just be dismissed. Four drivers have told the BBC he
:02:54. > :02:58.had fallen asleep in the cab. They asked us to watch this footage
:02:59. > :03:08.again. A tram driver who appears to be asleep. There is no alarm, no
:03:09. > :03:13.emergency brakes. He's in and out of sleep, isn't he? He's coming to an
:03:14. > :03:21.starting to doze. Why was there no alarm? Because if he were to
:03:22. > :03:25.completely passed out, completely lose consciousness, then he would
:03:26. > :03:32.relax his grip. But OK to slightly doze in and out? Of course it's not
:03:33. > :03:38.all right. The company who operates the trams for TFL say driver fatigue
:03:39. > :03:45.is monitored and on the driver's safety device says it is satisfied
:03:46. > :03:48.the controls are fully functional. Can also reveal at least three trams
:03:49. > :03:55.have been recorded speeding since the derailment. One was travelling
:03:56. > :04:01.at 65 kilometres per hour in a 40 zone. The operator told us it had
:04:02. > :04:08.increased speed checks since the sandy lands crash. It's changed my
:04:09. > :04:13.life. He did everything for us. Still waiting for answers. The
:04:14. > :04:19.families of those who died. My daughters are just devastated. What
:04:20. > :04:26.is the question you want answered? Why they. Investigators are trying
:04:27. > :04:30.to piece together a disaster that changed so many lives.
:04:31. > :04:32.The Metropolitan Police now has a dedicated unit
:04:33. > :04:37.It hopes to improve the force's response to internet abuse.
:04:38. > :04:39.The Mayor of London, who launched the hub today,
:04:40. > :04:42.says he told us he's targeted on a daily basis
:04:43. > :04:52.Here's our Home Affairs Correspondent Nick Beake.
:04:53. > :04:58.This woman is from forest gate, east London. Last year the borough
:04:59. > :05:02.councillor was invited to the European Parliament in France for a
:05:03. > :05:05.debate on refugees. Her views were forthright, calling for countries
:05:06. > :05:11.which once had empires to pay compensation. To pay reparations to
:05:12. > :05:17.the country they had previously colonised in the last 80 years.
:05:18. > :05:22.After that clip was posted, she received a barrage of abuse. A lot
:05:23. > :05:29.more trolling and online abuse from people I've never met before, asking
:05:30. > :05:36.me to die, kill myself, exterminate all black people... Talking about
:05:37. > :05:39.gas chambers, it was horrific. And here's another Londoner who has been
:05:40. > :05:44.targeted, because of the colour of his skin. The mail of London. Have
:05:45. > :05:49.you faced any of that online abuse since taking this job? On a daily
:05:50. > :05:54.basis. There are people hurling abuse at me online, thinking that
:05:55. > :05:57.there is available anonymity, thinking that they won't have action
:05:58. > :06:04.taken against them. But impact has not had on you? It causes anxiety
:06:05. > :06:07.and distress, not just to me, I have broad shoulders and a thick skin but
:06:08. > :06:12.the members of my family, people who are the same religion or same colour
:06:13. > :06:16.scheme is me, then they see someone like me receiving this online hate
:06:17. > :06:21.crime, it's a ripple that is felt by members of the community. Have you
:06:22. > :06:27.reported it? It reported by those who work for me, with the police and
:06:28. > :06:33.others to ensure action is taken. Racist and reduce hate crime went up
:06:34. > :06:34.18% in London last year, boosted by a spike the start of the Brexit
:06:35. > :06:45.vote. But City Hall is concerned at much
:06:46. > :06:51.Internet abuse goes unreported. So the mayor is setting up a police
:06:52. > :06:55.unit to tackle it. Millions of us are online these days and an abusive
:06:56. > :06:59.message can be sent in a matter of seconds. This new Met police unit to
:07:00. > :07:05.target online hate crime will comprise just five police officers
:07:06. > :07:09.so there is a limit to what they can achieve. Many people believe it's
:07:10. > :07:14.the big social media companies that need to do more. Today buses from
:07:15. > :07:20.Facebook and Twitter came to a conference on hate crime at City
:07:21. > :07:23.Hall. The companies insist they are trying to reduce abuse sent on their
:07:24. > :07:27.platforms and working with the police, but many campaigners want
:07:28. > :07:29.them to take tougher action on those who spread hate online.
:07:30. > :07:33.The right direction of travel but given the size of the task
:07:34. > :07:44.I guess it's a start, you have five officers in this new team, led by
:07:45. > :07:49.Detective Inspector, there is funding for two years, ?1.7 million
:07:50. > :07:55.in all, we are told they will be specially trained to spot online
:07:56. > :07:58.abuse, support victims and also to go for perpetrators. You could argue
:07:59. > :08:02.it is just a drop in the ocean, considering the extent to which City
:08:03. > :08:07.Hall believes that online hate crime is under reported. If you look at
:08:08. > :08:12.the official Met police figures, just 5% of all hate crime is to do
:08:13. > :08:16.with Internet abuse at one Jewish organisation believes it could be as
:08:17. > :08:20.much as 20%. Another organisation who looks after people have suffered
:08:21. > :08:25.Islamophobia believes it could be up to 70%. One thing this unit will be
:08:26. > :08:30.trying to do is work out the full extent of the picture. We have seen
:08:31. > :08:36.prosecutions, Internet trolls have been sent to prison, but it's clear
:08:37. > :08:39.of people still believe they can say stuff online that they wouldn't
:08:40. > :08:45.dream of saying industry. As we have seen, that includes racially abusing
:08:46. > :08:52.the mayor of this city, some believe they can do that online.
:08:53. > :08:59.As we know, young people across the capital are also facing issues on
:09:00. > :09:07.social media. Not least so-called sex children's charities believe...
:09:08. > :09:11.Victoria Hollins has been to meet a father of four who was so concerned
:09:12. > :09:22.he devised an app to help parents monitoring them. Has this as at
:09:23. > :09:26.once, it's never been easier to put yourself at risk. Over two thirds of
:09:27. > :09:33.teenagers on a smartphone and with the prospect of sexting, for parents
:09:34. > :09:36.that can be terrifying. This woman discovered her 12-year-old daughter
:09:37. > :09:39.'s rented bedsit inappropriate images by a point she knows. I
:09:40. > :09:43.realise we're dealing with very young kids, as much as they think
:09:44. > :09:48.they know everything, they don't know much, they don't even know the
:09:49. > :09:51.terms they are using and they mean, nevertheless the consequences of
:09:52. > :09:57.sending such an explicit image to each other. This man has developed
:09:58. > :10:01.an app to tackle the problem. If installed on parent and child
:10:02. > :10:06.devices, it sends an alert when the child receives or takes a naked
:10:07. > :10:12.image. Once you receive an alert from a child, you click on the
:10:13. > :10:16.child, we have an alert on March 29 in this case so we go into the
:10:17. > :10:24.device, look under that date, and as you can see... There it is. It uses
:10:25. > :10:29.image recognition software and he says has 96% accuracy. It hopes your
:10:30. > :10:34.child should they create something, you are right on top of it. If they
:10:35. > :10:37.receive something, that's a conversation that needs to happen as
:10:38. > :10:40.well. Most important thing is, if they go on to share that image to
:10:41. > :10:45.somebody else, that breaking the law. Advertising campaigns and
:10:46. > :10:50.education means awareness is improving. Apparently there are a
:10:51. > :10:57.lot of different reasons to teenagers since these pictures.
:10:58. > :11:01.Other controls are available, focusing on controlling all of a
:11:02. > :11:05.child abuse, but children's charities have still reported an
:11:06. > :11:09.increase in the number of youngsters contacting them about sexting.
:11:10. > :11:12.Parents don't need to know everything will it comes to online
:11:13. > :11:16.safety, that they need to make sure they can seek help, they are having
:11:17. > :11:19.an open, session with their children so that child knows they can come to
:11:20. > :11:24.them of their word about anything that happens online, if an image
:11:25. > :11:29.gets sent, if they are upset or endanger -- if they are worried.
:11:30. > :11:33.Until they realise that sharing content between friends can be as
:11:34. > :11:41.dangerous as with strangers, parents will need help tackling the issue.
:11:42. > :11:46.Still to come, the European premiere of Guardians of the Galaxy, a film
:11:47. > :11:50.much is about an outer space adventure as it is about music,
:11:51. > :11:54.which is why we are at the Apollo in Hammersmith.
:11:55. > :11:57.It will be a tough fight for UKIP in London.
:11:58. > :12:01.There's been speculation today about how the party is strategically
:12:02. > :12:03.focusing it's resources by only fielding candidates where
:12:04. > :12:08.Today UKIP accepted it would be difficult to make
:12:09. > :12:22.We can to beginning it our very best in London but our strong areas in
:12:23. > :12:28.London or in the doughnut, going around decking, that side, the east
:12:29. > :12:35.side, Hillingdon as well, it is worth remembering even in terms of
:12:36. > :12:37.Brexit, 40% of Londoners voted to leave, it's not a tiny minority.
:12:38. > :12:40.Well as we heard there, Rainham is one of the seats
:12:41. > :12:44.And today we asked our Political Correspondent Karl Mercer to find
:12:45. > :12:55.It would be fair to say the election fever has not yet kicked in at this
:12:56. > :12:59.working men's club. Here they don't have a higher opinion of
:13:00. > :13:10.politicians. Whoever gets in, they do nothing for you. I know that
:13:11. > :13:15.woman out there now. Brian and Chris are perhaps typical of the locals,
:13:16. > :13:18.fed up with politics, but both pro leaving the EU. This constituency
:13:19. > :13:24.was the most pro-Brexit in the capital. That is good because we
:13:25. > :13:33.should be out of the EU because they are trying to get people to pay out
:13:34. > :13:39.more money, when people haven't got money, and there are no jobs around.
:13:40. > :13:44.Out of Europe, definitely. Because what we pay all that money, when
:13:45. > :13:48.that money could go to schools or hospitals and other things. Are
:13:49. > :13:55.there signs this area could give Ukip a chance of the first London
:13:56. > :14:01.seat? Back in the EU referendum this constituency voted 70#30 in favour
:14:02. > :14:04.of Brexit. Also they came second here in the general election last
:14:05. > :14:10.time. But with Brexit already underway, could they have mist their
:14:11. > :14:14.chance? Not at all according to Peter Harris, runner up here in 2015
:14:15. > :14:21.and running again. We didn't have enough to get over the line but this
:14:22. > :14:27.time we could do it. We have an MP who backed romaine, who backed
:14:28. > :14:33.Jeremy Corbyn as well and an electorate here who voted performing
:14:34. > :14:37.the two leave the EU. The Tories have high hopes despite never having
:14:38. > :14:43.won this constituency. I have believed in Brexit all my adult
:14:44. > :14:47.life. If you want Brexit, you have two vote from conservatives on June
:14:48. > :14:53.eight. We need genuinely strong, stable leadership. This is the man
:14:54. > :15:01.they are aiming to travel, winning in 2015. -- aiming to topple. He is
:15:02. > :15:04.trying to get other issues at the forefront of the campaign. Health,
:15:05. > :15:08.the schools cuts, the infrastructure issues, the housing issues, some of
:15:09. > :15:12.the real meat and potatoes of the general election campaign that
:15:13. > :15:15.should be front and centre, it's a slight distraction, this Brexit
:15:16. > :15:20.thing but I do take the point of the people voted for it. One of them
:15:21. > :15:21.will have to work hard to infuse Chris and Brian if they want to get
:15:22. > :15:24.the Westminster. Well our Political Editor Tim
:15:25. > :15:36.Donovan is in Vauxhall for us now, Speculation about that, yes, that
:15:37. > :15:39.the Ukip leader Paul Nuttall is suggesting they might withdraw their
:15:40. > :15:49.candidate until their supporters to back the pro-Brexit Labour MP here.
:15:50. > :15:54.Ukip got 1300 votes here, it's not immediately apparent that they could
:15:55. > :15:59.have a huge impact by doing that, Kate Hoey has a majority of 12000
:16:00. > :16:07.and more, and it will take a lot of Labour supporters to defect to the
:16:08. > :16:12.Liberal Democrats to make those Ukip boats important. She says there has
:16:13. > :16:16.been no talk of a pact with Ukip and doesn't want support from anyone,
:16:17. > :16:24.but it is possible to see how the drawing, held by Labour Romanians
:16:25. > :16:30.like Brentford, I or worse, could make a difference of those votes
:16:31. > :16:36.went to the Conservatives. And indeed conversely if Ukip boat
:16:37. > :16:42.collapses in those places. Ukip are not the only ones looking at
:16:43. > :16:47.tactical manoeuvres. The Liberal Democrats, Vince Cable has said that
:16:48. > :16:50.he wants the Liberal Democrats to stand aside in Brighton Pavilion,
:16:51. > :16:55.the seat of the green leader, Caroline Lucas, to give her a clear
:16:56. > :17:02.run and in return he says, can't the Green supporters in plug-in and
:17:03. > :17:07.Richmond Park back him? There has been no decision made by the local
:17:08. > :17:10.green associations and that is the key but their leader today said he
:17:11. > :17:13.expected some moves like this in London.
:17:14. > :17:19.The whole idea of progress and alliances there isn't one party
:17:20. > :17:21.standing down for another but people reciprocating, working together,
:17:22. > :17:26.recognising the common good and moving beyond tribal loyalties. So
:17:27. > :17:29.in marginal seats, it's not the majority said that will be affected
:17:30. > :17:35.but a small number of seats where things might happen, that
:17:36. > :17:42.discussions are going on. What this amounts to is decisions of local
:17:43. > :17:45.parties, just one seat, Ealing Central and Acton, the Greens have
:17:46. > :17:49.already withdrawn but this is not top-down policy with Ukip or the
:17:50. > :17:51.Greens, and across London, these decisions are going to be made this
:17:52. > :17:55.week. Thank you. A murder investigation
:17:56. > :17:57.is underway in Battersea, after a teenager was stabbed
:17:58. > :18:00.to death at the weekend. The 17-year-old boy
:18:01. > :18:02.is the fifth teenager to have lost his life to knife crime
:18:03. > :18:04.in London this year. Police say the cyclist was ambushed
:18:05. > :18:07.by a gang in the early A group of British firms has
:18:08. > :18:14.unveiled plans to test driverless cars on city roads and motorways
:18:15. > :18:17.for the first time - backed by government money,
:18:18. > :18:25.intends to try out a fleet So far trials of driverless vehicles
:18:26. > :18:29.in the UK have mainly taken place at slow speeds and not
:18:30. > :18:33.on public roads. One of London's oldest clubs dropped
:18:34. > :18:36.into non-league football for the first time in more
:18:37. > :18:39.than a century this weekend. But there still remain
:18:40. > :18:43.bigger questions about Leyton Orient's future -
:18:44. > :18:53.as Emma Jones reports. Leyton Orient in Berkshire at
:18:54. > :18:58.kick-off against Arsenal. Orient fans will have plenty of fond
:18:59. > :19:01.memories of a club that has been in the football league 412 years,
:19:02. > :19:06.however the most recent memory will be of the defeat on Saturday that
:19:07. > :19:09.confirmed there medication. And many supporters will place the blame for
:19:10. > :19:15.the downfall of the club with their owner, who has seen them drop from
:19:16. > :19:19.the League 1 play-offs to non-league with ten different managers in his
:19:20. > :19:24.three years in charge. We have to get control of the club back from
:19:25. > :19:30.him because it's now become a toxic place under his regime and it can't
:19:31. > :19:37.go on like this. It's completely mess. Will it a winding-up petition
:19:38. > :19:43.last month but money is to ode to creditors and they have until June
:19:44. > :19:46.12 to pay the debts or sell up. The staff at Leyton Orient released a
:19:47. > :19:49.statement today reconfirming that no one at the club, including the
:19:50. > :19:53.players, have been paid since March. They are now calling on the football
:19:54. > :19:56.Association and the football league, to help them get answers from the
:19:57. > :20:02.club's board because they say they are being met with a wall of
:20:03. > :20:06.silence. This isn't just about being relegated, it's a genuine concern
:20:07. > :20:11.about the future this football club. And that's a concern shared by local
:20:12. > :20:17.businesses who rely on football fans for a large part of the trade. All
:20:18. > :20:26.of latent is going to be behind this team -- late. It's a really big loss
:20:27. > :20:30.if we lose Leyton Orient. This is where supporters meet on a match day
:20:31. > :20:33.and with fans keen to find new investors and raise funds for a
:20:34. > :20:40.stake in the club's future, the pub is hoping to do its bit. I am having
:20:41. > :20:46.a charity night for them and we will try and do the things in the area to
:20:47. > :20:51.try and get them some more money. We won't make enough money to get them
:20:52. > :20:54.out without we can. The local community, try to do its part to
:20:55. > :20:59.ensure a positive future for a club that has existed for over a century.
:21:00. > :21:01.Next: It looks like a colourful explosion in a nursery
:21:02. > :21:05.The words of one critic meant in a complimentary way -
:21:06. > :21:06.to describe Marvel's outer-space adventure.
:21:07. > :21:09.The sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy premieres in London
:21:10. > :21:11.tonight, we'll join Wendy in a moment after a quick
:21:12. > :21:25.Lovely to meet you, really enjoyed your film. Very much about the music
:21:26. > :21:32.as much as anything else? It's fitting that we are here, the music
:21:33. > :21:39.takes centre stage in many moments and it feels like a major character
:21:40. > :21:44.in the film. Some of the scores were recorded not far from here? Yes,
:21:45. > :21:49.they recorded some scores right here in Abbey Road, London, that was
:21:50. > :21:54.pretty amazing, from what James told me, he was moved to tears, the big
:21:55. > :22:02.symphony playing the music. It has become a thing, the mix tape. It
:22:03. > :22:06.really has, volume two is going to be... I expect another wildly
:22:07. > :22:13.successful soundtrack, and it's really cool because a lot of people
:22:14. > :22:16.for whom these songs are emotionally resonant, it reminds them of their
:22:17. > :22:19.upbringing, their childhood and there is a whole generation has
:22:20. > :22:24.never heard some of these songs, so it's great for the artists to get a
