:01:30. > :01:35.Given to the Evening Standard, the person who took the footage told
:01:36. > :01:40.the paper there were about 50 passengers on board.
:01:41. > :01:43.The tram was being held at a red light.
:01:44. > :01:47.Again, it puts driver fatigue in the spotlight.
:01:48. > :01:52.It's happened to me once in ten years.

:01:56. > :02:00.How many drivers do you think have fallen asleep in the cabin?

:03:35. > :03:37.runway at Heathrow. Today Theresa May's Foreign
:03:38. > :03:40.Secretary said he still opposed He of course, is London's former
:03:41. > :03:47.mayor Boris Johnson, who said today that plans to grow
:03:48. > :03:49.Heathrow were not the right solution, and not
:03:50. > :03:51.properly thought through. Here's our Political
:03:52. > :04:04.Correspondent, Karl Mercer. Somewhere in there is a former
:04:05. > :04:07.mayor. This is why we can relatives break Boris Johnson out at election
:04:08. > :04:12.time, even if not everyone is entirely sure which party he
:04:13. > :04:19.represents. This is the main guy! Vote for him, for his parliament.
:04:20. > :04:24.Vote Conservative. Conservative. There you go. Conservative, indeed.
:04:25. > :04:30.In fact, one of the most senior in the country. But not on the message
:04:31. > :04:35.of his party's manifesto. A third runway would do all sorts of damage
:04:36. > :04:39.in terms of noise pollution, which we can here now, and above all air
:04:40. > :04:44.pollution as well. I don't think it's been properly thought through.
:04:45. > :04:47.I've had good conversations with... You don't think it's been properly
:04:48. > :04:52.thought through by Theresa May and your party? I think that when it
:04:53. > :05:00.comes to the problems of air pollution and others, we will find
:05:01. > :05:03.considerable obstacles. I was consistent as mayor and I've been
:05:04. > :05:15.consistent as Foreign Secretary. I remain of the same view that it is
:05:16. > :05:19.the wrong solution. Lets get a sign outside high-street cobblers. I'll
:05:20. > :05:23.be happy to fix his shoes for him. As mayor, Mr Johnson was a big fan
:05:24. > :05:27.of the Crosswell to plan to build a new rail link from north to south
:05:28. > :05:37.London. It didn't get a mention in the manifesto. Crossrail doesn't get
:05:38. > :05:41.a mention. I am a big fan. In the last year, I have not bashed the
:05:42. > :05:45.mayor. But I do think if he believes in this it is up to him to put
:05:46. > :05:49.forward the plan and a better business case. Because that has not
:05:50. > :05:53.happened. And that is disappointing. The new Mayor's office called those
:05:54. > :05:58.comments hypocritical, saying Labour would build Crossrail two. Sadiq
:05:59. > :06:03.Khan has also crossed swords with his predecessor over another London
:06:04. > :06:08.building project - the Guiding Bridge. Are you wasting ?46 million
:06:09. > :06:13.of taxpayers' money on a bridge to nowhere? That is entirely his
:06:14. > :06:17.wastage. It was up to him to proceed with this project. I do believe it
:06:18. > :06:25.will still be done and it will be a great thing. But it's a shame that
:06:26. > :06:28.he's been so... A pity. City Hall that it had taken action to prevent
:06:29. > :06:32.further loss of tax payer money due to the way that Mr Johnson went
:06:33. > :06:35.ahead with the Garden Bridge. The Foreign Secretary may have some
:06:36. > :06:37.bridges of his own to build Labour Party policy.
:06:38. > :06:47.They've had more success in the capital than elsewhere
:06:48. > :06:49.with members sitting on the London Assembly,
:06:50. > :06:51.But they haven't performed well in general elections past,
:06:52. > :06:54.coming fifth behind Ukip and the Lib Dems in 2015.
:06:55. > :06:55.This time round they're determined to do better,
:06:56. > :06:57.even targeting Jeremy Corbyn's seat in North Islington.
:06:58. > :07:00.Our Political Editor, Tim Donovan, has more.
:07:01. > :07:03.Just 170,000 people were in the market to vote Green
:07:04. > :07:11.Well behind even the Liberal Democrat Party in collapse.
:07:12. > :07:14.But it's in places like Brixton here that they're trying to build up
:07:15. > :07:20.One of the party's two co-leaders told me the issues that mattered.
:07:21. > :07:23.In Lambeth, we are the second party, where I live,
:07:24. > :07:27.We are holding the Labour council to account.
:07:28. > :07:29.It's very clear in London that we are producing something very
:07:30. > :07:34.Particularly around, for example, estate demolition
:07:35. > :07:41.It seems that the Labour Party of ignoring local feeling

:07:48. > :07:49.have two London assembly members, and a handful of councillors.
:07:50. > :07:52.But their strategy appears to be to get to second
:07:53. > :07:57.in target Labour held seats, like Dulwich and West Norwood,
:07:58. > :07:59.Streatham, Hogan and St Pancras, and Islington North -
:08:00. > :08:00.and yes, really, against Jeremy Corbyn.
:08:01. > :08:03.Is this the problem, it's not very strategic going up
:08:04. > :08:05.against the leader of the Labour Party?
:08:06. > :08:08.I mean, clearly, when you've got Jeremy Corbyn living
:08:09. > :08:13.But we are standing to give people an alternative
:08:14. > :08:16.because there are many areas of policy where we're different.
:08:17. > :08:20.There's a weird contradiction in the Labour Party policy,
:08:21. > :08:23.which is on one hand they're talking about air polution, which is great.
:08:24. > :08:27.We welcome that and we have been pushing it up the agenda for years.
:08:28. > :08:29.But if you're then looking to expand City Airport,
:08:30. > :08:31.build the Silver Town Tunnel, then you are in contradiction
:08:32. > :08:34.What about the Progressive Alliance idea?
:08:35. > :08:37.You've made some bold statements by withdrawing
:08:38. > :08:44.We felt that in this election, someone needed
:08:45. > :08:49.In order to bring about change, someone's going to have to put
:08:50. > :08:52.We felt the Green Party was the right party to do that.
:08:53. > :08:55.So we wrote to Jeremy Corbyn and Tim Farron, Caroline Lucas
:08:56. > :08:58.and myself, and said, let's go and talk about this right
:08:59. > :09:01.It hasn't been a great response, though, has it?
:09:02. > :09:06.Do you regret that this has happened?
:09:07. > :09:08.No, I think it has put it on the agenda.
:09:09. > :09:12.But they know they have to make progress where they are standing.
:09:13. > :09:15.And staying with the general election for a moment,
:09:16. > :09:17.BBC London is hosting a special debate programme hearing
:09:18. > :09:19.from all the main parties on what they will do

:09:35. > :09:37.its air traffic controllers to a new base 100 miles
:09:38. > :09:39.from the actual runway. It'll be the first in Britain
:09:40. > :09:42.to abandon its control tower with a bird's-eye view
:09:43. > :09:44.of the runway, opting instead to use digital technology
:09:45. > :09:49.to monitor planes remotely. The airport says the move

:09:53. > :09:55.Richard Westcott, has been Modern airports are
:09:56. > :10:05.dynamic, fast flowing. Hundreds of pieces being
:10:06. > :10:07.moved around every minute. And all of those movements
:10:08. > :10:10.must be tightly choreographed This is London City Airport,
:10:11. > :10:18.and that is just one of the 300 or so take-offs and landings
:10:19. > :10:23.that happen here every day. And until now, all of those
:10:24. > :10:26.flights have been coordinated by a group of controllers,
:10:27. > :10:31.who look out of these windows here. But in the future, those windows
:10:32. > :10:34.are going to be replaced by these Controllers won't just see
:10:35. > :10:41.the airport, they'll be The thing is, this digital
:10:42. > :10:47.control tower is 120 miles But by 2019, controllers
:10:48. > :10:56.will be sitting here Using pictures fed from a new
:10:57. > :11:01.camera tower next to the runway. Unlike the old tower,
:11:02. > :11:06.they can zoom in for a better view. Put radar data onto the
:11:07. > :11:09.screen to track aircraft. Critically, for safety,
:11:10. > :11:14.the cameras can pick out rogue drones near the airport,
:11:15. > :11:22.and light the runway at night. My initial reaction
:11:23. > :11:24.was sceptical, because I'm used They give the control of
:11:25. > :11:28.more information in terms of what they can be,
:11:29. > :11:31.what they can hear, how they can identify targets,
:11:32. > :11:34.how they can track targets. So the awareness that
:11:35. > :11:36.the controller gets is it is all The tower controller's job
:11:37. > :11:41.is to look out the window. Now, I know exactly
:11:42. > :11:44.what you're thinking. The number one question
:11:45. > :11:47.I've been asked by everybody I've told about this is,
:11:48. > :11:49."What if the TV screens go down?" How secure is it?
:11:50. > :11:55.Highly secure. The system's been
:11:56. > :11:57.independently stress-tested We have three cables that
:11:58. > :12:01.are in place between the airport If one of those was to fail,
:12:02. > :12:05.there is a back-up. In the event that that fails,
:12:06. > :12:08.then there's another cable there. And they're all rooted,
:12:09. > :12:11.taking different routes London City's convinced
:12:12. > :12:20.the new system will make their operations more
:12:21. > :12:21.efficient and more safe. The idea of a control tower miles
:12:22. > :12:25.from the airport may seem odd, An online fly tipping map shows
:12:26. > :12:32.the worst places for dumping waste are in and around London -
:12:33. > :12:37.particularly North East London. Enfield has the worst record
:12:38. > :12:40.with more than 70,000 incidents last year,
:12:41. > :12:44.and conservationists say the volume of illegally
:12:45. > :12:47.dumped waste is still rising. Sarah Harris has visited one
:12:48. > :13:01.of the latest areas to fall victim. It's hardly recognisable as a bee
:13:02. > :13:08.farm. Normally, nectar is collected here in Essex, but overnight these
:13:09. > :13:11.huge mounds of waste were dumped on the site, killing thousands of bees
:13:12. > :13:20.and almost destroying the business. I'm angry, I'm disgusted. I am lost
:13:21. > :13:25.for any explanation of why they choose to behave this way. I have to
:13:26. > :13:30.say, on behalf of my son, who was also my apprentice, he's absolutely
:13:31. > :13:36.devastated, which is why he's not here. This has absolutely floored
:13:37. > :13:41.him. This fly-tipping map compares rates of dumping across the country.
:13:42. > :13:48.With Enfield having the highest number of offenders, with more than
:13:49. > :13:53.70,000 cases. Haringey follows with around 34,000, and new has more than
:13:54. > :13:57.30 2000. Enfield blamed the way the figures are collated and says it is
:13:58. > :14:01.determined to stamp it out. What's clear is that fly-tip is still
:14:02. > :14:04.getting away it. To dispose of this vast amount of
:14:05. > :14:09.waste legally would cost several hundred pounds. The government did
:14:10. > :14:15.change the rules last year making it possible for councils to spot fine
:14:16. > :14:19.fly-tippers ?400. But critics say this doesn't go far enough. Unless
:14:20. > :14:23.there are more tips open for longer hours, this problem will only get
:14:24. > :14:26.worse. Hundreds of tonnes of rubbish,
:14:27. > :14:31.including fridges, building rubble and even cars, dumped on the a 40
:14:32. > :14:34.roundabout in Buckinghamshire. Environmentalists say it is the huge
:14:35. > :14:39.mounds of waste which are becoming their biggest problem.
:14:40. > :14:43.It's a very severe incident. We have seen a lot of those over the last
:14:44. > :14:47.few months in Essex, which is extremely disappointing.
:14:48. > :14:51.Unfortunately we are seeing at the moment is the dumping of industrial
:14:52. > :14:55.waste on industrial scale. Multiple lorry rides which really are a
:14:56. > :15:00.blight on the landscape and damaging to the environment and the social
:15:01. > :15:04.aspects of the county. Despite the destruction of are
:15:05. > :15:08.enough bees left to salvage this Essex farm. But it will cost
:15:09. > :15:12.thousands of pounds and many months to return to normal. The farmer begs
:15:13. > :15:18.the question - how could anyone want to do this?
:15:19. > :15:26.Still to come... Temperatures went up, then the rain
:15:27. > :15:27.came down. What about the ups and downs of the weekend weather? All
:15:28. > :15:31.the details later in the programme. Last week the NHS was one
:15:32. > :15:34.of the hundreds of organisations targetted by cyber criminals
:15:35. > :15:37.demanding ransoms. Thousands of appointments
:15:38. > :15:40.and operations had to be cancelled, and many hospitals were unable
:15:41. > :15:44.to access their IT systems, A week on we've visited
:15:45. > :15:50.Barts Hospital Trust, which has had to clean
:15:51. > :16:03.up around 10,000 PCs. So how did one of London's largest
:16:04. > :16:09.hospital trusts handle the biggest cyber attack in its history? I
:16:10. > :16:13.Barts, two words are being used to describe the last week - difficult
:16:14. > :16:18.and exhausting. We are here with the CT scanners.
:16:19. > :16:21.There are two Sikis which are normally completely linked
:16:22. > :16:26.electronically to patient Lacourt. The virus has meant that the link is
:16:27. > :16:30.broken and we have had to go onto paper systems. The staff have had to
:16:31. > :16:34.be incredibly flexible. People from the finance department have helped
:16:35. > :16:39.to remove viruses and from HR they have helped direct patient.
:16:40. > :16:44.At the height of last week's attack, ambulances were diverted from Barts.
:16:45. > :16:48.All the hospital stepped in to help trauma and stroke patients. The
:16:49. > :16:52.capital's four major trauma centres were on a major incidents.
:16:53. > :16:58.Hyam we have tried and tested processes which take we have tried
:16:59. > :17:06.and tested processes which kick in. The priority of keeping our patients
:17:07. > :17:11.safe came first. What happens now to the paperwork
:17:12. > :17:14.throws up a whole new challenge. These are the two and a half
:17:15. > :17:18.thousand patients that we have seen this week all on paper. We are
:17:19. > :17:20.currently going through a process of transferring all the information
:17:21. > :17:25.from paperback onto computer systems. All the bits of paper that
:17:26. > :17:29.we have generated we have to keep for seven years for an adult and 21
:17:30. > :17:33.years for a child. That will have to be stored. There are now checking
:17:34. > :17:37.all the computers which is not a small job - there are 10,000 of
:17:38. > :17:41.them. A green bit of tape so the terminal is fine. Amber and red
:17:42. > :17:44.means things still aren't quite right.
:17:45. > :17:49.We have done our best we will make sure that we pick up any problems
:17:50. > :17:52.which arise. Some patients have had operations cancelled. We have been
:17:53. > :17:58.able to do 65% of elective operations, that is 1000. But we
:17:59. > :18:02.haven't been able to do them all for reasons around patient safety. We
:18:03. > :18:05.are really sorry for the disruption this has caused people.
:18:06. > :18:09.They fought hard to keep the doors open. Two thirds of the trust's
:18:10. > :18:13.planned operations have happened. Two and a half thousand people have
:18:14. > :18:18.been seen in A There's my date set for things to be fully back to
:18:19. > :18:20.normal and as with any emergency operation, the recovery may take a
:18:21. > :18:22.little time. The new Wembley Stadium

:19:54. > :19:57.last match in charge of the Gunners after 21 years at the club? He says
:19:58. > :20:01.talks about his future will take place after the cup final. Before

:20:14. > :20:16.I'm here to serve the club and the best way to do
:20:17. > :20:30.Preparations are taking place for the League 1 play-off final, which
:20:31. > :20:33.will be here tomorrow. Millwall were here last year and lost. This time
:20:34. > :20:35.they're hoping to go one better against Bradford.
:20:36. > :20:37.Millwall are preparing for yet another trip to Wembley.
:20:38. > :20:39.This will be the club's fourth League 1 play-off
:20:40. > :20:43.The team go into this one hoping to erase last year's memories
:20:44. > :20:48.Is a difficult place to lose a game, at Wembley.
:20:49. > :20:54.There is so much love for the players and the team.
:20:55. > :20:57.If you get beat, it's really disappointing.
:20:58. > :21:00.But we've got no God-given right to succeed this year.
:21:01. > :21:02.We need that little bit of luck on the day.
:21:03. > :21:05.We need to handle the occasion better than we did last year,
:21:06. > :21:08.and we certainly need to perform to the best of our ability.
:21:09. > :21:09.COMMENTATOR: Galloping forward is Tony Craig
:21:10. > :21:23.Striker Steve Morrison knows the highs and lows of the play-offs,
:21:24. > :21:26.and just what it would mean for the club to go up.
:21:27. > :21:31.His second full season in charge, taking the team to two play-off
:21:32. > :21:34.Yeah, it would just mean everything for everybody,
:21:35. > :21:36.and we will do everything in our power to try
:21:37. > :21:40.Opponents of Millwall and their fans will know the kind of atmosphere
:21:41. > :21:45.The question is, can those Lions fans now takes some of that
:21:46. > :21:48.to what's become their second home recently, Wembley, to help
:21:49. > :21:52.I think confidence should be going through the team.
:21:53. > :21:54.But it all depends if we show on the day.
:21:55. > :22:01.All the way home, I don't think we said a word
:22:02. > :22:09.The Millwall fans celebrate the fact that no one likes them,
:22:10. > :22:21.What they do care about is a win and promotion at Wembley.
:22:22. > :22:24.We've had very warm and very wet weather already this week.
:22:25. > :22:26.Ben Rich will be here later with the weekend forecast -
:22:27. > :22:29.and there are a few people looking nervously at the sky this

:22:35. > :22:47.Wendy is there now - brolly at the ready?
:22:48. > :22:53.Just in case, yes! The staff have been telling me all the way through
:22:54. > :22:56.the day today that this place has a special microclimate, that when the
:22:57. > :23:00.show starts, the rain stops and the sun comes out. They were true to
:23:01. > :23:04.their word because as the doors opened, just that thing happened.
:23:05. > :23:08.The picnic area is full up with hampers, a champagne cork went
:23:09. > :23:10.flying across. I've been here all day looking at the final
:23:11. > :23:22.preparations for the summer season. A final shake, spirits and stick at
:23:23. > :23:29.the Theatre of the year. The summer season opens with On The Town. It's
:23:30. > :23:33.a 1944 Leonard Bernstein musical. You might know it from the film
:23:34. > :23:42.starring Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra.
:23:43. > :23:47.This season and two version stars Strictly star Danny Mac, learning
:23:48. > :23:51.the particular charms of this particular stage. There is a pigeon

:24:11. > :24:15.Icon dans compared to this! Or anyone else on the stage. I'm
:24:16. > :24:21.telling you! Maybe if there was a samba in their... Lap I love
:24:22. > :24:28.dancing, but my character doesn't get to dance that much. But the
:24:29. > :24:31.little bit I do get, I'm living for that one bit!
:24:32. > :24:35.Recently, two veteran actors have criticised the West end. Jeremy
:24:36. > :24:40.Irons says it's awash with bad musicals. Sir Derek Jacobi moaned
:24:41. > :24:48.the use of TV stars to, I quote, get bums on seats. We won the Olivier
:24:49. > :24:53.award this year for Jesus Christ Superstar. People are coming to see
:24:54. > :24:57.these big shows in our venues. We have big people in them, but for us
:24:58. > :25:05.it's about the whole production and seeing it there.

:25:30. > :25:35.for you! At least you have the warmth from the wine as well. Have a
:25:36. > :25:38.lovely evening, everybody. We will put a quick call into the Met office
:25:39. > :25:41.to find out what is going on, but they very rarely cancel a show.
:25:42. > :25:47.Of course they don't cancel it! The show must go on. We have Ben here to
:25:48. > :25:49.tell us what the weather is going to be like.
:25:50. > :25:57.I think we can be optimistic, certainly compared to what we've had
:25:58. > :26:01.a the last couple of evenings. The last night ordered before would have
:26:02. > :26:08.been deluged by rain. We have had some showers around today. I Kings

:26:20. > :26:23.have panned out today. We started off quite cloudy with patchy rain.
:26:24. > :26:27.Then the sun came out and showers sprang to life. Some of the showers
:26:28. > :26:31.out of the West have been very, very heavy indeed with flashes of
:26:32. > :26:35.lightning and rumbles of thunder. Don't be at all surprised if you get
:26:36. > :26:39.a thundery showers to the first part of this evening. Hopefully not at
:26:40. > :26:42.Regents Park! Although I'm not making any promises. Through the
:26:43. > :26:49.night the showers will fade and there will be clear bulbs. 5-6
:26:50. > :26:53.Celsius in the countryside. -- there will be close pores. Tomorrow, a
:26:54. > :26:58.nice looking start but take an umbrella because there will be some
:26:59. > :27:06.showers bubbling up. Some of them heavy and perhaps under a time.
:27:07. > :27:09.Temperatures around 17-18 Celsius. On Saturday, a decent night for
:27:10. > :27:13.getting out and about because the showers should tend to fade away.
:27:14. > :27:17.That takes us into what is a nice looking day on Sunday. It should be
:27:18. > :27:22.largely dry with bowls of sunshine around. In that sunshine it is going
:27:23. > :27:27.to feel warmer temperatures up to around 20 Celsius. Into the week,
:27:28. > :27:31.temperatures climbing a little bit. It will further little bit warmer.

:28:06. > :28:08.Four crickets have the same amount of calcium as a glass of milk,
