:00:00. > :00:10.throughout the night with the BBC News Channel. Now it is

:00:11. > :00:17.Lloyd's of London, which has been in the City since the 1600s -

:00:18. > :00:20.says it's ready to move some staff abroad if Brexit negotiations

:00:21. > :00:26.The insurance giant says it's ready to take whatever

:00:27. > :00:28.action is necessary - although some analysts

:00:29. > :00:30.predict Brexit could be boom time for London.

:00:31. > :00:39.Some predict a Brexit boost, others have that sinking feeling.

:00:40. > :00:46.There is no benefit from dragging things out.

:00:47. > :00:50.The Square Mile wants clarity, and quickly.

:00:51. > :00:54.Lloyds of London has been underpinning the underpinners

:00:55. > :00:58.in the insurance world for more than 300 years.

:00:59. > :01:02.Used to managing risk, contingency plans are being finalised if Brexit

:01:03. > :01:06.negotiations impact business, a new European base will be set up,

:01:07. > :01:12.We have got to have people physically in another country

:01:13. > :01:17.Previously, they would have been based here in London.

:01:18. > :01:20.But that is only, for Lloyds, a small proportion, but if other

:01:21. > :01:23.businesses have to follow suit, that means that there will be people

:01:24. > :01:27.But London, I'm sure, will still remain the heart

:01:28. > :01:36.Before the referendum, there were scare stories of large

:01:37. > :01:40.companies considering moving their headquarters abroad.

:01:41. > :01:43.Even so, is this a signal of a brain drain of sorts from the capital?

:01:44. > :01:55.GoCardless, a relatively new player in the Fintech world,

:01:56. > :01:57.helps 20,000 clients collect flexible bank payments

:01:58. > :02:00.Smaller businesses like this are also watching nervously.

:02:01. > :02:02.We are used to, kind of, adapting and changing quite quickly

:02:03. > :02:06.and I think that is possibly one advantage that we have as a smaller,

:02:07. > :02:08.younger company is that we can move a little bit more

:02:09. > :02:13.They now have clients across the EU and are making plans to move some

:02:14. > :02:15.of their operation abroad, depending on what the

:02:16. > :02:18.There are two really important things for us -

:02:19. > :02:24.continued access to the European market in terms of financial access,

:02:25. > :02:28.that is passporting for us, and also some form of free movement

:02:29. > :02:32.of workers, or a very efficient immigration system.

:02:33. > :02:35.Some have seen it all before and believe the next few

:02:36. > :02:42.Savvas Savouri has worked in finance for 26 years.

:02:43. > :02:47.Where once he saw the Japanese, then Europeans investing hand over fist,

:02:48. > :02:50.now he says it is the Chinese ready to fuel London's economy.

:02:51. > :02:53.This idea that somehow there will be an exodus of businesses and people

:02:54. > :02:57.London is something quite exceptional.

:02:58. > :02:59.It is a destination for people and capital around the world,

:03:00. > :03:03.And it is that factor that promises to keep London

:03:04. > :03:15.So, Brexit will bring positives, it will bring negatives.

:03:16. > :03:19.For some, there is a whole world of opportunity opening up.

:03:20. > :03:22.For others, life may be about to get a bit more tricky.

:03:23. > :03:33.But all agree the uncertainty is no good for anyone.

:03:34. > :03:37.A Coroner's Court has heard how a teenager died at a nightclub

:03:38. > :03:42.in Farringdon after smuggling drugs into the venue in his boxer shorts.

:03:43. > :03:44.18-year-old Jack Crossley became unwell at the Fabric club

:03:45. > :03:46.in August and died hours after leaving the venue.

:03:47. > :03:54.Louisa Preston has more on the case.

:03:55. > :04:00.The inquest heard from two of Jack's friends, who were with him in the

:04:01. > :04:04.nightclub the day he died. They had all been to the club before and had

:04:05. > :04:11.taken drugs in the club. On this occasion, all three of them hit

:04:12. > :04:24.MDMA, the pure form of ecstasy in their underwear into the in their to

:04:25. > :04:29.get it into the club. Jack later died in hospital. The club has been

:04:30. > :04:35.closed since December but they could open again on Friday. In September

:04:36. > :04:39.Islington Council revoked the club's license forcing it to close. Since

:04:40. > :04:44.then the club and council has come to an agreement allowing Fabric to

:04:45. > :04:48.reopen with new conditions. There will be new security procedures, no

:04:49. > :04:52.access to U19s, and anybody caught with drugs in the club will be

:04:53. > :04:54.banned for life. Today we heard from Jack's uncle. This is what he had to

:04:55. > :05:00.say on hearing the news. It's not really about any case

:05:01. > :05:03.of retribution or getting justice. Today was just about understanding

:05:04. > :05:05.what happens to Jack, how it happened, and how we can

:05:06. > :05:08.avoid it happening to anyone If Fabric shuts, there

:05:09. > :05:11.will be another club, somewhere else opening up

:05:12. > :05:22.in another venue. When we heard the coroner give her

:05:23. > :05:26.verdict today on this case, she said there is a much wider problem here,

:05:27. > :05:30.and it's not just one nightclub, as Jack's uncle just said. The main

:05:31. > :05:31.issue here, and what a lot of people think, is that there needs to be

:05:32. > :05:34.more education around drugs. A BBC investigation has found that

:05:35. > :05:37.some drivers of private ambulances in Essex were trained for as little

:05:38. > :05:40.as an hour before That's a fraction of the four weeks'

:05:41. > :05:47.training that regular Staff have also claimed

:05:48. > :05:51.that some equipment in the Private Ambulance Service

:05:52. > :05:54.in Basildon is in poor condition. An allegation that

:05:55. > :05:58.the company denies. The Victoria Derbyshire programme's

:05:59. > :06:01.James Melley reports. When we dial 999 for a medical

:06:02. > :06:08.emergency, most people expect NHS ambulances and their highly trained

:06:09. > :06:12.crews to respond. But increasingly, NHS trusts

:06:13. > :06:15.are having to use private One of these companies

:06:16. > :06:20.is the Private Ambulance Service, It carries out work like taking

:06:21. > :06:25.patients to hospital appointments, transferring sick people

:06:26. > :06:28.between hospitals, and also provides cover for 999 calls for the East

:06:29. > :06:33.of England NHS Ambulance Trust. But whistle-blowers have told us

:06:34. > :06:36.staff are not properly trained, and the equipment they use is not

:06:37. > :06:39.up to scratch. The Private Ambulance Service

:06:40. > :06:46.was in the news last year Paul would only speak to us

:06:47. > :06:49.if we disguised his identity. He worked for PAS as a medic,

:06:50. > :06:52.but lost his job last year. I never had any

:06:53. > :06:54.induction or training. Pretty much just sent

:06:55. > :06:56.out and that was it. So you had no induction,

:06:57. > :06:57.no training? It was quite clear that

:06:58. > :07:01.I was working with people that, not through their own fault,

:07:02. > :07:03.were not trained. They were not competent

:07:04. > :07:05.in the job and they certainly were not confident in

:07:06. > :07:07.dealing with situations. Didn't know how to take simple

:07:08. > :07:10.things like blood sugars, ECGs. Didn't know how to do

:07:11. > :07:12.manual blood pressures. We started to hear more disturbing

:07:13. > :07:16.stories about a lack of basic training for staff at

:07:17. > :07:19.the Private Ambulance Service. Dan Duke worked at the company

:07:20. > :07:22.in patient transport The job could require him to drive

:07:23. > :07:28.under blue lights when taking an emergency patient

:07:29. > :07:30.between different hospitals. What training were you actually

:07:31. > :07:33.given in order to drive One hour's training

:07:34. > :07:42.on blue lights, that's it. So what is an acceptable level of

:07:43. > :07:52.training to drive under blue lights? Our whole course is four weeks

:07:53. > :07:54.long and the first two weeks are the foundation,

:07:55. > :07:57.if you like, to actually move And then that training

:07:58. > :08:02.takes two weeks. We approached the Private

:08:03. > :08:03.Ambulance Service for And told us, the Private Ambulance

:08:04. > :08:07.Service offers a high level of patient care

:08:08. > :08:10.to all patients transported We outsource our blue light driver

:08:11. > :08:29.training to an approved training We started using our current

:08:30. > :08:32.provider in January 2016. All staff receive induction

:08:33. > :08:34.training and full Staff joining us from other

:08:35. > :08:37.companies have to complete clinical skills assessments and driving

:08:38. > :08:39.assessments prior to The NHS East of England Ambulance

:08:40. > :08:47.Service, which uses the Private Ambulance Service to provide cover

:08:48. > :08:49.for emergency calls, "The East of England

:08:50. > :08:52.Ambulance Service needs to use private companies

:08:53. > :08:55.to meet patient demand. These services are regulated by

:08:56. > :09:03.the CQC and are internally vetted. The East Midlands ambulance

:09:04. > :09:05.trust is increasing But nationally, NHS trusts

:09:06. > :09:08.are struggling with the level of patient demand, so private

:09:09. > :09:10.ambulance providers, which are regulated,

:09:11. > :09:13.are increasingly likely to respond A teenage freerunner from Guildford,

:09:14. > :09:22.has died after an accident Tributes have been paid

:09:23. > :09:28.to 17-year-old Nye Frankie Newman - who was a keen participant

:09:29. > :09:31.of the sport, in which people climb and jump over

:09:32. > :09:34.obstacles and buildings. The exact circumstances

:09:35. > :09:40.aren't known. Train drivers on Southern Railways,

:09:41. > :09:42.are cutting their six-day strike action planned for next week

:09:43. > :09:46.to three days. But their union, Aslef,

:09:47. > :09:48.says it'll strike for a further The bitter dispute is over the use

:09:49. > :09:58.of driver-only operated trains. That's it for now from me,

:09:59. > :10:10.but lets find out what It was a nice day for some of us. We

:10:11. > :10:14.saw some cloud before it cleared away. A good deal of sunshine.

:10:15. > :10:19.Didn't do much for temperatures, a chilly afternoon. It will be really

:10:20. > :10:22.cold by the end of the night. The blue Frost is pretty widespread,

:10:23. > :10:26.even in the centre of town dipping down to around minus one. A good few

:10:27. > :10:30.degrees lower than that in the outskirts. A cold start to Thursday.

:10:31. > :10:35.At least there will be sunshine from early on, temperatures slow to rise,

:10:36. > :10:39.but in the afternoon we will get to four or 5 degrees. The breeze coming

:10:40. > :10:47.from the north that will accentuate the chilly feel. In the evening,

:10:48. > :10:50.temperatures will plummet pretty quickly. Not just frosty by Dawn on

:10:51. > :10:53.Friday, there will be fog as well. The Friday morning commute could be

:10:54. > :10:59.quite slow with freezing fog in places. A lot of clout, not much

:11:00. > :11:01.rain by Friday afternoon. Temperatures creeping up a notch or

:11:02. > :11:03.two and turning milder Temperatures creeping up a notch or

:11:04. > :11:09.two and turning milder into the weekend.
