Still cold, George. Darren, thank
you. That's all from the BBC | 0:00:00 | 0:00:01 | |
Tonight on BBC London News: | 0:00:04 | 0:00:05 | |
The Met Police asks
for almost £40 million | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
from the Government to pay
for the Grenfell Tower | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
investigation. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:18 | |
We have approximately 200 officers
that will be working on that over | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
the next year. We don't think it is
reasonable for us to pick up those | 0:00:21 | 0:00:25 | |
sort of costs. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
Scotland Yard also wants extra funds
to pay for policing last | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
year's terror attacks. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:31 | |
Also tonight: | 0:00:31 | 0:00:32 | |
A 95-year-old woman walks free
from court after knocking down | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
and killing a cemetery
worker in Maidenhead. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:42 | |
Rain as have gone up, but passengers
face widespread disruption to their | 0:00:42 | 0:00:47 | |
journeys because of a fresh wave of
strikes -- rain fares have gone up. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:52 | |
The details from Waterloo. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
And we catch up with Michael Palin,
ahead of a special programme | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
marking his life on screen. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:06 | |
Good evening and welcome
to the programme. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:09 | |
I'm Victoria Hollins. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:14 | |
The Metropolitan Police has asked
the Government to pay | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
almost £40 million for its
investigation into the fire | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
at Grenfell Tower, in West London. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:26 | |
Scotland Yard says it's one
of the biggest and most complex | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
inquiries in the history
of the force. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
Around 200 officers are working
on the inquiry into the blaze, | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
which claimed the lives
of 71 people. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
Our political correspondent,
Karl Mercer, reports. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
They are starting to cover
the remains of Grenfell tower. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:43 | |
Sheeting now up around
half of the first eight | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
floors of the building. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:46 | |
The rest stands as a stark
reminder of what happened | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
here nearly seven months ago. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:49 | |
And the political fallout
from the fire continues. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
Grenfell led to one of the biggest
police investigations ever | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
mounted by Scotland Yard,
with around 250 officers involved. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
Now Scotland yard has said
it needs help to pay. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
It's put in a big bill
to the Home Office, asking | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
for £11.1 million to cover the cost
of the investigation this year. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
And a further £27
million for next year. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
It says it expects to have more
than 200 officers still on the case | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
over the coming twelve months. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
We don't think that it is reasonable
for us to pick up those sort of full | 0:02:18 | 0:02:24 | |
cost. As we know, that sort of
investigation will go on for some | 0:02:24 | 0:02:29 | |
time. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:29 | |
time. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:30 | |
There are worries too that the Met
simply can't afford extra spending, | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
as it's already having to make cuts. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:34 | |
We are still absolutely facing
savings and cuts for London that we | 0:02:34 | 0:02:39 | |
are very, very worried about. We are
really worried that police officer | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
numbers going dip significantly
below the 2,000 if this continues. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:49 | |
The police, though, aren't the only
emergency service facing | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
a big bill in the wake
of the Grenfell disaster. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
London's Fire Brigade has
also seen costs rise. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
It's in the process
of buying new equipment. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
And in the wake of the fire,
its inspectors made 520 | 0:02:57 | 0:03:04 | |
visits last summer to check
the safety of other buildings. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:14 | |
We learned today that 188 cases
in the capital failed | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
the Government's cladding safety
test - more than the rest | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
of the country put together. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
No wonder, then, that
London Assembly members | 0:03:21 | 0:03:22 | |
were asking for government help
for the Fire Brigade too. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
Can you update us? Have you
exhausted all your conversations | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
with government around any money
that they wish to allocate you? | 0:03:27 | 0:03:32 | |
Politically mindful of what you
heard this morning from the police. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
It feels like the police are having
some success, then there is no | 0:03:35 | 0:03:39 | |
reason why the Fire Service should
not have that same criteria relaxed. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
The Home Office told us today that: | 0:03:43 | 0:03:44 | |
"Given the unique and tragic
circumstances of this event, | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
we will consider any application
we receive for funding | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
from the Metropolitan Police
as a matter of priority." | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
Lots more to come, including: | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
Calls to identify and support
expectant mothers suffering | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
from mental health problems
during pregnancy. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:08 | |
A 95-year-old woman who knocked down
and killed a man after mistaking | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
the accelerator for the brake has
been given a suspended sentence. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
Gertrude Lister told police
that her car "just took off" | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
as she tried to leave a cemetery
in Maidenhead on | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
Valentine's Day last year. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:26 | |
Joe Campbell reports. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:31 | |
Gertrude Lister was
driven to court today. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
She's not got behind
the wheel since she killed cemetery | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
worker Paul Mills and returned her
licence to the DVLA. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:45 | |
A man escorting the 95-year-old
carried a suitcase. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
She'd been warned there was a very
real possibility she would be | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
going straight from court to prison. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:51 | |
Mrs Lister's barrister said
it was hard to think of more tragic | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
circumstances than what happened
in this cemetery on Saint | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
Valentine's Day last year. | 0:04:56 | 0:05:01 | |
One moment, his client had been
tending her husband's grave. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
Just a few seconds later,
she was responsible for the death | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
of somebody else's loved one. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
It was as she left the cemetery
that she hit the accelerator, | 0:05:08 | 0:05:12 | |
rather than the brake. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
The car, rather than slowing down,
sped up, hit a verge | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
and became airborne. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:18 | |
It crashed through a hedge. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
Mr Mills was working
on the opposite side. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:21 | |
He died in hospital less
than an hour later. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:26 | |
The court heard so-called unintended
acceleration was a recognised factor | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
in accidents like this,
especially involving automatic cars | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
driven by elderly motorists. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:36 | |
In actual fact, the over-70s
are statistically the safest group | 0:05:36 | 0:05:44 | |
of drivers on our road, done by age, | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
in terms of how many collisions
they have that cause injury. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
They're frail, so if they do have
one, they tend to be | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
injured themselves. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
Events like this one, that
are tragic, as all these things are, | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
are actually really unusual. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
Judge Paul Dugdale said these were
wholly exceptional circumstances. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
Gertrude Lister's mistake
in pressing the accelerator harder | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
and harder, thinking
it was the brake, had had | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
a devastating effect, he said,
on Paul Mills's family. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:17 | |
As his widow, Tracey,
realised Mrs Lister wouldn't be | 0:06:17 | 0:06:21 | |
going to prison today,
but her 16-month sentence | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
was going to be suspended,
she stormed out of court. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
Mrs Lister herself left
without commenting. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
Joe Campbell, BBC London News. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:32 | |
Strikes affecting three different
train operators serving London | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
are set to go ahead next week
after talks stalled. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:39 | |
The RMT union has a long-running
dispute over the role of train | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
guards, which has led to a fresh
wave of strikes | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
starting from Monday. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |
Well, Marc Ashdown is at Waterloo
for us this evening, | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
where some of the services
will be affected. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
Marc. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
Yes, Victoria, this is where the
biggest impact will be felt. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:58 | |
Services run by South Western
Railway is out of Waterloo. That is | 0:06:58 | 0:07:02 | |
because the RMT union has called a
series of 24 hour strikes for next | 0:07:02 | 0:07:06 | |
week which will run on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday. South-western | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
says they will still be able to run
about 70% of services, they hope, | 0:07:10 | 0:07:16 | |
and that translates roughly two 450
trains out of here on each of those | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
days being cancelled. This is about
the long-running row over the role | 0:07:19 | 0:07:25 | |
of guards on trains. The RMT has a
line in the sand and it says a | 0:07:25 | 0:07:30 | |
second safety grid, bar staff should
always be present on every surface. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
SWT said after talks this week, it
has promised that will happen, but | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
the RMT says privately that is not
accompany it telling it and as far | 0:07:37 | 0:07:42 | |
as it is concerned, the strikes will
go ahead next week, which is bad | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
news for passengers around here. I
see the point of modernisation, I | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
can see the point by the union as
well, am annoyed by strikes because | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
that says to me some idiot has not
done their job properly. I am livid | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
it. Coming into the New Year, 3% pay
rise and we are confronted with the | 0:07:57 | 0:08:02 | |
same thing all over again. I think
it is appalling. I'm not overjoyed | 0:08:02 | 0:08:07 | |
about it, but I will try and work
from home to get about it because I | 0:08:07 | 0:08:11 | |
have the flexibility to do that.
There will be other stations and | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
routes affected by strikes next
week. Yes, that is right. The same | 0:08:14 | 0:08:22 | |
issue of the guards, but two
different operators. Greater Anglia | 0:08:22 | 0:08:26 | |
guards will strike on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday affecting | 0:08:26 | 0:08:30 | |
trains into and out of Liverpool
Street station. The company says it | 0:08:30 | 0:08:35 | |
is disappointed, it bought talks
were constructed, but it will try | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
and run a full service on those
days. And RMT members at Southern | 0:08:37 | 0:08:43 | |
will go on a single 24 hour strike
on Monday to affect London Bridge, | 0:08:43 | 0:08:47 | |
Victoria, Charing Cross and Cannon
Street. Southern describes the | 0:08:47 | 0:08:52 | |
action as regrettable and says it
has invited the RMT back for talks | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
but has not heard back, it thinks it
can run a 90% service. Monday night | 0:08:56 | 0:09:01 | |
is the FA Cup match between Brighton
and Crystal Palace, so along with | 0:09:01 | 0:09:06 | |
tens of thousands of football bands,
it could be tricky. The advice is to | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
check before you travel, this is bad
news for the passengers, the biggest | 0:09:10 | 0:09:15 | |
rise in train fares for five years
and now fresh disruption and | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
frustration to their journeys.
Victoria. For now, thank you very | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
much indeed. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
Wreckage from a seaplane
which crashed near Sydney, | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
killing five members of a London
family and the pilot, | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
has been recovered. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:30 | |
The aircraft had been submerged
in more than 40 feet of water | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
after coming down on New Year's Eve. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
It's emerged that the plane
was rebuilt after it was "destroyed" | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
in a fatal incident more
than 20 years ago. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:44 | |
Louisa Preston reports. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
The wreckage of the seaplane
should help to explain why | 0:09:46 | 0:09:54 | |
a routine flight over Sydney,
its waterways and rugged bushlands | 0:09:54 | 0:10:00 | |
bushlands ended in disaster
for a London family. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
The salvage operation
at Jerusalem Bay began | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
shortly after dawn. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:05 | |
Police divers used inflatable bags
to lift parts of the aircraft | 0:10:05 | 0:10:07 | |
from the bottom of the Hawkesbury
River. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
One of the first pieces of the plane
to be recovered was a damaged wing, | 0:10:09 | 0:10:13 | |
followed by the engine,
and the tail. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:17 | |
By the time that the wreckage
was boarded on the barge, | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
we saw that there was severe damage
to the plane. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
And it appeared that there had
been quite an impact | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |
on hitting the water. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:28 | |
Tributes have been paid to the
family from Tooting who were killed | 0:10:28 | 0:10:30 | |
in the crash. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:35 | |
Tycoon Richard Cousins,
his two grown-up sons, his fiancee | 0:10:35 | 0:10:37 | |
and her 11-year-old daughter. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:41 | |
Crucial to the investigation
will be the aircraft's | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
past history. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:48 | |
We now know that the seaplane came
down in these waters | 0:10:48 | 0:10:53 | |
20 years ago. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:57 | |
We've got a range of factors
that we look at the folly | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
we construct the sequence of events
that led up to the accident, | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
and hopefully find factors that
contributed to the accident, | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
with the ultimate goal of trying
to prevent something | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
like this happening again. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:08 | |
Air-crash investigators plan
to release their initial | 0:11:08 | 0:11:10 | |
findings within a month,
but a full report could | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
take up to a year. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:17 | |
As part of our Leaving London
series, this week, we've been | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
hearing from those who have decided
to turn | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
their back on the capital. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:22 | |
Tonight, two businesses who've
decided to relocate to Birmingham. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
Tolu Adeoye has been finding out
what the UK's second | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
city has over London. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
London can be a pricey
place to do business. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
Expensive office space,
high business rates, | 0:11:32 | 0:11:37 | |
soaring transport costs -
just three factors pushing some | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
away from the capital. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:41 | |
Many are choosing to move
to Birmingham, with more than 17,000 | 0:11:41 | 0:11:49 | |
new businesses registering
here in 2016, it has the largest | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
economy of any UK regional city. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
We want to revolutionise access
to low-cost energy storage. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:58 | |
Reusable battery company Celeron
is currently based in Hayes, | 0:11:58 | 0:12:00 | |
but will move operations
to Birmingham this year. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
We have to think very
carefully about the cost | 0:12:04 | 0:12:12 | |
of setting up both assembly and... | 0:12:12 | 0:12:16 | |
Because we're making
things for our business. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
And also, the cost of actually
having office space. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:20 | |
So we figured that it makes a lot
more sense to be setting up | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
somewhere where it's cheaper,
which ultimately means | 0:12:24 | 0:12:25 | |
that we have a higher chance
of success with our business. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:28 | |
Tech business Oxygen
Finance has been based | 0:12:28 | 0:12:29 | |
in Birmingham for 18 months. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:31 | |
We've had a handful of people move
from London to Birmingham. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
A mixture with the team
that work remotely. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:39 | |
But in that time, we've also
recruited 40 people. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
The company says relocating made
more than just business sense. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:44 | |
The work-life balance,
so the commute is easier, shorter. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:46 | |
There's a lot of investment that has
gone into Birmingham, | 0:12:46 | 0:12:50 | |
so you get the same things that
you'd get in London, if not more. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:56 | |
And also, you've got larger
organisations like HSBC | 0:12:56 | 0:12:58 | |
and Deutsche Bank moving up. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:00 | |
And with 6,000 technology
firms here, we all can't | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
And with 6,000 technology firms
here, we all can't be wrong to pick | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
this as our location to do business. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:09 | |
Of course, Birmingham isn't the only
place tempting businesses | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
away from the capital. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:12 | |
Manchester's a great city. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:13 | |
Leeds is a great city. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
And I can see the attraction. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:16 | |
The short-term attraction. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:17 | |
But the Chamber of Commerce says
London is still the best place | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
to do business in the UK. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:21 | |
We are a city of, what,
eight and a half million people, | 0:13:21 | 0:13:24 | |
growing to ten million people. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
That is a big marketplace. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:27 | |
So I think you have
to think very seriously | 0:13:27 | 0:13:29 | |
before you decide that,
actually, for a small, | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
short-term saving, perhaps in terms
of rents or cost of living, | 0:13:31 | 0:13:33 | |
that you move out of what is a huge,
huge marketplace and a place | 0:13:33 | 0:13:37 | |
where your company can grow. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:38 | |
For some companies, though,
leaving London is worth the risk, | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
to give their businesses every
chance of success. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |

Still to come... | 0:13:46 | 0:13:50 | |
There is a danger in these sort of
programmes that they sound a bit | 0:13:50 | 0:13:55 | |
like obituaries! | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
Celebrating a life on screen,
but Michael Palin has no plans | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
to give up working any time soon. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
Post-natal depression
is a well known condition, | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
but now a new report has found
that one in four women | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
suffer from mental health
problems during pregnancy. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
The study by researchers
at Kings College London found that | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
15% of those questioned suffered
from anxiety prior | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
to giving birth | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
while more than one in ten said
they experienced depresssion. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:26 | |
while more than one in ten said
they experienced depression. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:28 | |
In a moment we'll talk
to the report's author. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
First Frankie Mccamley has been
speaking to one woman | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
about her experience. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
I mean I guess I didn't notice the
time I was feeling as wrong as I | 0:14:36 | 0:14:41 | |
was, but during the first trimester
I had quite bad nausea and that made | 0:14:41 | 0:14:46 | |
me feel quite ill. It was over the
summer as well so it wasn't ideal. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:51 | |
The second trimester I was fine so I
thought it was a doddle, then in the | 0:14:51 | 0:14:56 | |
third trimester I got panicky. I
went to dinner with friends and had | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
to get out of the restaurant because
I felt I was trapped and needed air. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:05 | |
When you were at your lowest, how
were you feeling? My lowest was | 0:15:05 | 0:15:12 | |
postnatally, I was feeling anxious
all the time and stopped sleeping. I | 0:15:12 | 0:15:16 | |
tried sleeping pills but nothing
seemed to really work and it brought | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
on a lot of anxiety, the same
symptoms as prenatally but much | 0:15:19 | 0:15:25 | |
worse and that's what made me
realise I had had anxiety during | 0:15:25 | 0:15:30 | |
pregnancy as well. Looking back, do
you think you could have had more | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
help and there could have been more
help out there available? Definitely | 0:15:33 | 0:15:40 | |
in the pregnancy bit it wasn't on my
radar at all. I did NCT classes, | 0:15:40 | 0:15:46 | |
they are quite far through your
pregnancy, but this wasn't something | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
they covered so just awareness that
it is something you could struggle | 0:15:49 | 0:15:53 | |
with is really fundamental. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
Professor Louise Howard,
who wrote the report, | 0:15:56 | 0:15:58 | |
was listening to that
and joins me now. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
Thank you for coming in. We heard
awareness is key for those who | 0:16:01 | 0:16:05 | |
suffer with mental health problems,
how do the medical health | 0:16:05 | 0:16:09 | |
practitioners pick up on these
problems in the first place? The | 0:16:09 | 0:16:14 | |
study has shown two simple screening
questions on low mood and lack of | 0:16:14 | 0:16:18 | |
interest in things can be really
helpful in the context of a general | 0:16:18 | 0:16:24 | |
discussion about emotional wellbeing
as well as physical wellbeing at any | 0:16:24 | 0:16:28 | |
point in pregnancy, it can help
midwives, obstetricians and GPs | 0:16:28 | 0:16:34 | |
identify women who may be
experiencing not only depression | 0:16:34 | 0:16:38 | |
but, as our report highlights, other
conditions as well are also common | 0:16:38 | 0:16:42 | |
in pregnancy. You mentioned this one
in four figure we talked about, how | 0:16:42 | 0:16:47 | |
easy is it to say this is because of
pregnancy or it is perhaps a | 0:16:47 | 0:16:53 | |
pre-existing condition? Yes, so a
lot of research suggests some women | 0:16:53 | 0:16:59 | |
indeed have already experienced
symptoms for some time but this | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
might be the first opportunity for
them to come into contact with a | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
health professional is and actually
by being asked will start to realise | 0:17:05 | 0:17:11 | |
this isn't normal. But for other
women it may be that the pregnancy | 0:17:11 | 0:17:15 | |
itself has triggered the condition.
It may be a non-planned pregnancy, | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
there might be a lack of social
sports, and it may be as a result of | 0:17:19 | 0:17:25 | |
rape or partner abuse so there's
lots of reasons it might happen in | 0:17:25 | 0:17:29 | |
pregnancy rather than being a
long-standing condition. What are | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
the implications of these problems
are not picked up during pregnancy? | 0:17:33 | 0:17:39 | |
Baby -- may become chronic, but we
also know there is evidence that | 0:17:39 | 0:17:49 | |
actually during pregnancy there can
be an impact on the pregnancy itself | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
through a variety of mechanisms so
early identification and treatment | 0:17:53 | 0:17:58 | |
is really important. OK, we have to
leave it there. Thank you very much | 0:17:58 | 0:18:03 | |
indeed. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:04 | |
Now, her story been
described as a fairy tale - | 0:18:04 | 0:18:08 | |
Michelle Lawrence from Catford
was a mum, working in the city | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
and training as a body builder. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
In just six months she went from
novice competitor to world champion, | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
winning her title in November. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:17 | |
Our reporter Jim Wheble
went to meet her. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
It's an early start in Catford,
and the beginning of a long | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |
day for world champion
body-builder Michelle Lawrence. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
And ten minutes later,
she's in the gym. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:27 | |
It's about finding balance really. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
Do this in the morning,
go to work, come home, repeat. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:34 | |
A lot of people would say,
you call that balance? | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
That is balance! | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
Back home for six, breakfast
prepared, lunch and dinner prepared, | 0:18:40 | 0:18:44 | |
all before the working
day even begins. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:49 | |
But the real magic happens
here in the evening at Stone's | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
gym in Thornton Heath. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
Five, often six days a week,
it's a training schedule that's made | 0:18:55 | 0:18:58 | |
Michelle a world champion
in record time. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:03 | |
To be invited to the finals,
the British finals, | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
and win that as well,
I wasn't expecting. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:09 | |
But then to go to Miami to compete
in the world finals, | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
that was really, really,
just an amazing experience for me. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:17 | |
And then you won it. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:18 | |
I won it. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:19 | |
This is Michelle before training got
serious just over a year ago, | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
not even making the cut
in her first competition. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:26 | |
Come on, come on, come on! | 0:19:26 | 0:19:28 | |
Then along came Imla. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
Five, let's go! | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
An expert muscle conditioner,
and six months later after intense | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
hard work, this happened. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:39 | |
# The minute you walked
in the | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
joint, I could see... #. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
The winner at the world amateur
finals of the drug-free athletes' | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
coalition body-building competition, | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
where even lie detectors
are used to stop the cheats. | 0:19:50 | 0:20:00 | |
With a final practice
or the all-important poses, | 0:20:04 | 0:20:06 | |
Michelle's training
day finally ends... | 0:20:06 | 0:20:07 | |
Due to start all over again at 4:50
in the morning tomorrow. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:12 | |
What an achievement! | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
He has a reputation
for being a 'nice' man - | 0:20:15 | 0:20:18 | |
though his colleague John Cleese
will jokingly tell you different. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
Michael Palin has enjoyed more than
half a century in the spotlight. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:23 | |
He's been a successful writer,
actor and presenter | 0:20:23 | 0:20:25 | |
in film and television. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:26 | |
Now his career is the subject
of a documentary made | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
in association with BAFTA. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:29 | |
Wendy Hurrell been speaking to him. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
Nobody expects the
Spanish Inquisition! | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
But prolonged questioning
is expected when promoting | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
a new documentary. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:38 | |
Michael Palin dashed around
New Broadcasting House this morning, | 0:20:38 | 0:20:40 | |
straight from Radio Four to us. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:44 | |
Me talking about me
talking about myself. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
Absolute overindulgence! | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
There's a danger, I think,
in these sorts of programmes | 0:20:49 | 0:20:52 | |
that they sound a bit
like obituaries, you know. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:55 | |
Your life on screen,
I think it's called. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
Well, you know, I'm still alive
and hoping to carry on. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
It's a bit like getting lifetime
awards, which I've had a very | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
nice one from BAFTA. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
But that's it, you'd never get
a second lifetime award. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
Anything you do from now on... | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
Anything you do from now on is just
spoiling the picture. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
Stop it! | 0:21:14 | 0:21:15 | |
Stop working! | 0:21:15 | 0:21:16 | |
And I'm not going to stop
working because I don't | 0:21:16 | 0:21:18 | |
know what else I'd do. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:24 | |
The comedy writing and performances
came first, perhaps | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
Monty Python the pinnacle. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
Often the scripts were bashed
out in west London. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
We were given a second series,
which no one quite expected, | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
and we went to Acton rehearsal rooms
and there was a woman sort | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
of cleaning her step. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:42 | |
She said, "Oh, not you lot! | 0:21:42 | 0:21:44 | |
Are you doing some more?" | 0:21:44 | 0:21:45 | |
I said, "Yes, we are,"
and she said, "Oh, dear." | 0:21:45 | 0:21:47 | |
And it's in the capital that
Michael Palin has lived | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
the majority of his life. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:51 | |
I like, in a sense, the size
and scale of London because you can | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
be absorbed into it. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:55 | |
It's not like living in a small
village where everyone is watching | 0:21:55 | 0:21:58 | |
and you're the central figure. | 0:21:58 | 0:21:59 | |
So I quite like that ability
to lose yourself in London. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:03 | |
Or lose yourself at sea -
part of the documentary features | 0:22:03 | 0:22:05 | |
Michael Palin's travel programmes,
a topic his old Python | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
mate John Cleese still
playfully jibes him about. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:12 | |
Whenever he talks about my
travel documentaries, | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
he always goes Michael's... | 0:22:14 | 0:22:15 | |
HE YAWNS. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
He does that! | 0:22:17 | 0:22:22 | |
I wish he didn't but it does
make me roar with laughter | 0:22:22 | 0:22:25 | |
every time he does it. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:26 | |
Is there one particular thing
you're most proud of? | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
Yes, it's the way I fell
into the loch after being hit | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
by a fish by John Cleese
in the fish slapping dance. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
It's a rather good fall
if you freeze frame it, | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
there's a nice diagonal. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
And keeping my pith helmet
on, the boots are on. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
It's a very military fall. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:42 | |
It looks like it's
part of the ritual. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
You're falling by numbers! | 0:22:44 | 0:22:45 | |
One, into the canal. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:49 | |
I'm going to check that
what you say is true! | 0:22:49 | 0:22:52 | |
Then you can reverse it,
which is rather lovely too. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:54 | |
It's quite balletic. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:59 | |
Michael Palin made a TV
entrance in the '60s | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
and whether as a writer,
actor or presenter, | 0:23:01 | 0:23:03 | |
he's not finished yet. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:04 | |
See his story so far
on BBC Two this Sunday. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:11 | |
Michael Palin: A Life on Screen
is on 9pm this Sunday on BBC Two. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:21 | |
One person has been injured and is
being treated for bruising after a | 0:23:22 | 0:23:27 | |
giant inflatable ball raised above
the centre of Oxford Circus became | 0:23:27 | 0:23:30 | |
untethered possibly due to high
winds. It's part of the Lumiere | 0:23:30 | 0:23:40 | |
London Festival. The council say
they are working with emergency | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
services to assess and manage the
situation. We are told the ball has | 0:23:43 | 0:23:48 | |
gone back up again, the roads have
reopened. This is the scene in the | 0:23:48 | 0:23:52 | |
area now, you can see the traffic is
moving, but it will be busy for some | 0:23:52 | 0:23:57 | |
time in the area. | 0:23:57 | 0:23:59 | |
Now the weather with
Sarah Keith-Lucas. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:02 | |
And as | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
And as we have just heard, very
windy. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:06 | |
The wind will gradually ease as we
had through tonight but we've had an | 0:24:06 | 0:24:16 | |
unsettled time recently. This was
sent in from Bromley earlier in the | 0:24:16 | 0:24:20 | |
day. As we move through this
evening, we will see windy | 0:24:20 | 0:24:24 | |
conditions over the next few hours,
you can see the proximity of the | 0:24:24 | 0:24:28 | |
isobars, and an approaching weather
front from the west set to bring | 0:24:28 | 0:24:32 | |
weather for the second half of the
night. Still pretty windy | 0:24:32 | 0:24:36 | |
conditions, later tonight we see the
arrival of some heavy squall a | 0:24:36 | 0:24:40 | |
showers with hail mixed in, then
during the early hours of Friday the | 0:24:40 | 0:24:44 | |
winds will fall lighter and it will
stay mild. Foremost, free. There | 0:24:44 | 0:24:51 | |
could be a touch of frost in rural
spots. The bit of a mixed day with | 0:24:51 | 0:24:56 | |
sunshine, still some showers moving
through on the breeze west to east, | 0:24:56 | 0:25:00 | |
perhaps on rain to the north of
London during the afternoon but many | 0:25:00 | 0:25:04 | |
seeing a good deal of dry weather
with temperatures around eight or 9 | 0:25:04 | 0:25:08 | |
degrees. Slightly cooler than it has
been in the cooling trend, continues | 0:25:08 | 0:25:14 | |
into the weekend. Friday night set
to sea fog and mist developing too. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:19 | |
During the early hours of Saturday,
you can see the mist and fog around. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:25 | |
It stays fairly great throughout the
day with rain on the cards as well | 0:25:25 | 0:25:28 | |
but we will start to see brighter
spells lifting the mist and fog and | 0:25:28 | 0:25:32 | |
later in the day. Temperatures
pretty much what we have seen over | 0:25:32 | 0:25:36 | |
the last few days, perhaps a touch
caller at around seven or 8 degrees. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:42 | |
Then we see high pressure building
through the second half of the | 0:25:42 | 0:25:46 | |
weekend, across all of the country,
keeping the weather is dry and | 0:25:46 | 0:25:50 | |
settled. Sunday is set to be the
better day of the weekend, most | 0:25:50 | 0:25:54 | |
showers clearing awake and a return
to something more sunny, but colder | 0:25:54 | 0:25:58 | |
as | 0:25:58 | 0:25:58 | |
to something more sunny, but colder
as well. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:01 | |
A bit confusing, I have to say.
Thank you very much indeed. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:06 | |
Tonight's main headlines now... | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
The BBC understands that one
in eight patients taken to hospital | 0:26:08 | 0:26:11 | |
by ambulance in England so far
this winter has had to wait more | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
than half an hour to be
handed over to NHS staff. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:16 | |
The target is fifteen minutes. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:18 | |
One of the country's most prolific
