:00:00. > :00:13.Here on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.
:00:14. > :00:17.Survivors of the Croydon tram crash, in which seven people died,
:00:18. > :00:21.have told us they need more financial support and feel let down
:00:22. > :00:24.Some have been unable to return to work.
:00:25. > :00:30.It comes on the day an interim report revealed more details
:00:31. > :00:34.One passenger has been telling our transport correspondent
:00:35. > :00:36.Tom Edwards about his financial struggle and the traumatic
:00:37. > :00:43.He didn't slow down, and the next thing was,
:00:44. > :00:47.crash, bang, wallop, lights out, mayhem.
:00:48. > :00:52.Patrick Freeman is recovering from an operation.
:00:53. > :00:55.He fractured his shoulder in the Croydon tram crash.
:00:56. > :01:00.He says at 62, he won't be able to work again laying paving stones
:01:01. > :01:04.and he's angry at a lack of support from TfL.
:01:05. > :01:08.After one payment, he's had to use his savings to pay his rent.
:01:09. > :01:15.I had to cancel my Christmas over it, bits and pieces like that.
:01:16. > :01:23.But as regards the financial end, they gave me an interim payment
:01:24. > :01:25.of two grand on the 12th of December.
:01:26. > :01:29.So I don't think it is very fair by Transport for London,
:01:30. > :01:33.I don't know whether I'm the only one.
:01:34. > :01:35.I don't know anyone, really, that was on there.
:01:36. > :01:37.But if they've done that to everyone, there's something wrong.
:01:38. > :01:40.So you think you've been badly treated in the aftermath?
:01:41. > :01:42.Yes, yes, I think I've been badly treated in them circumstances, yeah.
:01:43. > :01:45.Patrick was one of 51 who were injured when the tram
:01:46. > :01:47.derailed on a tight bend just before Sandylands station.
:01:48. > :01:56.In the aftermath, without financial support, many can struggle.
:01:57. > :01:59.It's going to be stressful if you're not able to pay your bills
:02:00. > :02:05.on time and you're not able to pay your rent on time.
:02:06. > :02:07.There are people that are being threatened with eviction
:02:08. > :02:10.because they are not able to work, and what we're trying to do
:02:11. > :02:12.is facilitate interim payments for those people.
:02:13. > :02:14.Transport for London have replaced some of the signs
:02:15. > :02:18.Today, in an interim report, rail investigators said they thought
:02:19. > :02:20.the existing speed limit sign may have been obscured
:02:21. > :02:29.And because the driver braked so late, they thought he may have
:02:30. > :02:32.lost awareness that he was approaching such a tight bend.
:02:33. > :02:35.Four investigations are now looking at the incident.
:02:36. > :02:41.Full settlements and compensation could take years.
:02:42. > :02:43.People need to be able to pay their bills.
:02:44. > :02:45.We don't want people to be ending up homeless
:02:46. > :02:54.They are innocent victims, here, and they need to be supported.
:02:55. > :02:57.Patrick says the whole thing has been a nightmare and it's being made
:02:58. > :03:04.And at night, bad dreams some nights, you know?
:03:05. > :03:06.It all comes back, some nights, and it's
:03:07. > :03:14.TfL says it will look into Patrick's case and has so far paid over
:03:15. > :03:21.It believes no payments are outstanding.
:03:22. > :03:23.As for definitive answers about what happened,
:03:24. > :03:29.Well, Jim Wheble has been looking at the report.
:03:30. > :03:44.It didn't include any new specific safety recommendations. You would
:03:45. > :03:48.expect those in the final report. But we did get more of an
:03:49. > :03:54.understanding of the way this investigation is going, the role of
:03:55. > :04:00.the driver, for instance. The report says investigators are looking at
:04:01. > :04:10.the way in which the cam was being driven. -- tram. The report confirms
:04:11. > :04:15.that the investigators are also looking at another key element,
:04:16. > :04:20.speeding, aware of allegations that trams have gone around the curve at
:04:21. > :04:25.a higher speed in the 20 kilometres an hour limit on previous occasions.
:04:26. > :04:30.So are those claims true? If so, could more have been done to stop
:04:31. > :04:34.that? Something that haven't even mentioned much before is the role of
:04:35. > :04:37.windows in this crash. People died after being thrown through them. So
:04:38. > :04:42.investigators are looking at understanding the behaviour of the
:04:43. > :04:46.tram windows and current standards that are applicable. In other words,
:04:47. > :04:51.should the windows have been more resilient, like they are on trains?
:04:52. > :04:57.This investigation will go on for several months more, looking at
:04:58. > :04:58.every detail. Meanwhile, the driver remains on bail on suspicion of
:04:59. > :05:01.manslaughter. As we've been hearing,
:05:02. > :05:03.there are warnings that deep cuts to services will be needed to plug
:05:04. > :05:06.the gap in social care funding, Well, Hertfordshire says the county
:05:07. > :05:12.is approaching a crisis and warns that its care system could grind
:05:13. > :05:15.to a halt unless the Government radically rethinks how
:05:16. > :05:18.we care for adults. Betty Weir is 90 years
:05:19. > :05:29.old and immobile. Two carers have to visit her four
:05:30. > :05:33.times every day at her home in Borehamwood to make sure she's
:05:34. > :05:36.washed, dressed and fed properly They see to my needs, all my needs,
:05:37. > :05:50.so I'm quite happy about that. Her carers are horrified
:05:51. > :05:52.at the news that some services If it wasn't for carers,
:05:53. > :05:59.these people would be left to try to fend for themselves,
:06:00. > :06:04.which is, in Betty's case, impossible, because she can't
:06:05. > :06:06.move without a hoist, So the fact of making
:06:07. > :06:12.more cuts is... The thought of it is
:06:13. > :06:15.just, it scares me. Every day, more than 28,000 people
:06:16. > :06:17.in Hertfordshire like Betty have The demand is growing,
:06:18. > :06:25.but funding's being cut. There's been a 71% increase
:06:26. > :06:28.in adults asking for social care in Hertfordshire
:06:29. > :06:36.in the last seven years. Currently, the service costs
:06:37. > :06:44.?312 million per year. We can't work on the schemes
:06:45. > :06:47.we have in place already If more people are going into A,
:06:48. > :06:51.that clogs up the hospital system and it could mean the whole system
:06:52. > :06:54.grinding almost to a halt. Hertfordshire Valleys Clinical
:06:55. > :06:56.Commissioning Group had decided to cut a further ?8.5 million
:06:57. > :06:58.from adult social care but tonight, it's decided
:06:59. > :07:03.to rethink that decision. Welcome news for Betty and others,
:07:04. > :07:05.but even with a planned increase in council tax,
:07:06. > :07:08.the funding of adult social care It's the stuff that football
:07:09. > :07:17.dreams are made of - but tonight, it wasn't
:07:18. > :07:22.to be for Sutton United. They lost 2-0 to Premier League
:07:23. > :07:24.giants Arsenal, who now go But despite the disappointment,
:07:25. > :07:27.it was still "a beautiful Chris Slegg was watching
:07:28. > :07:42.and can explain. What a night indeed. More than 100
:07:43. > :07:47.league places separate these two teams. It wasn't Arsenal's strongest
:07:48. > :07:53.line-up, but they put out a decent team and it didn't look like 100
:07:54. > :07:56.league places. It took until Theo Walcott's goal in the second half to
:07:57. > :08:00.put clear daylight between the teams. At that point, you thought it
:08:01. > :08:04.was all over for Sutton, but even after that, they had some decent
:08:05. > :08:09.chances to get back into that game and cause Arsenal a few problems.
:08:10. > :08:13.Not to be in the end. The Sutton Captain Jamie Collins is with me
:08:14. > :08:16.now. Disappointment with the result, but what was it like to share a
:08:17. > :08:22.pitch with those Premier League stars? It was what we was all hoping
:08:23. > :08:26.for, to be fair. We said we hoped they would bring the best thing they
:08:27. > :08:31.can. To be fair to Arsenal, they put a very strong team out. To top it
:08:32. > :08:34.off, they brought on Oxlade-Chamberlain and Sanchez. For
:08:35. > :08:38.the lads, it was a dream come true. How did you feel when your team-mate
:08:39. > :08:43.Roarie Deacon struck the bar from 25 yards out, which would have brought
:08:44. > :08:47.you back into it at 2-1? We knew it was going to be an uphill battle
:08:48. > :08:51.when they went 2-0 up. We want to get a goal for the fans, because
:08:52. > :08:56.they have been fantastic, but it was not meant to be. We will look back
:08:57. > :08:58.on it in a couple of days and see what an achievement it was. We are a
:08:59. > :09:03.bit disappointed at the minute because that is what you always do,
:09:04. > :09:07.but it was fantastic. And you will be back on the building site on
:09:08. > :09:11.Wednesday. Definitely. If we won, I would have had a week off, or even
:09:12. > :09:16.if we got a draw. But it will be back to normal life now. I am proud
:09:17. > :09:21.of the lads and proud of the club for the way they have looked after
:09:22. > :09:24.the lads and the fans. Thank you, Jamie. Sutton have made about ?1
:09:25. > :09:29.million from this cup run. They can finally meant, the chairman says,
:09:30. > :09:34.the hole in the dressing room roof. Which is great to see!
:09:35. > :09:36.I'll wish you a very good night now and I'll leave
:09:37. > :09:43.you with Elizabeth Rizzini for a check on the weather.
:09:44. > :09:53.After a lovely day, house tomorrow looking? Not so good. This was the
:09:54. > :09:56.scene at Sutton earlier today. Glorious sunshine and exceptionally
:09:57. > :10:02.mild that this time of year. We saw 18.3 degrees earlier in Kew and at
:10:03. > :10:07.Northolt. That is more like late May than the end of February. But it is
:10:08. > :10:11.going to come to a crashing halt. It will still be mild on Tuesday and
:10:12. > :10:14.Wednesday, but but it wouldn't turn colder by the end of the working
:10:15. > :10:20.week. Windy, with cloud in between and a few outbreaks of rain.
:10:21. > :10:24.Tonight, we keep those thick layers of cloud. Low cloud tomorrow morning
:10:25. > :10:28.as well, with outbreaks of rain at times. Some of this could adopt
:10:29. > :10:32.towards the north and east. A damp start of the new day and a mild one.
:10:33. > :10:36.Temperatures will not really dropped out of double figures all night.
:10:37. > :10:42.Tomorrow, some of the rain will hang around. A bit drizzly at times, but
:10:43. > :10:46.mostly a dry day, with lots of low cloud and little brightness compared
:10:47. > :10:50.to today. Temperatures are still mild. Wednesday is looking similar,
:10:51. > :10:58.but it could brighten up as we head into the late afternoon from the
:10:59. > :10:59.north. The weekend will feel a little milder, but it will be a wet
:11:00. > :11:11.start and it will brighten up later. As you have just seen, after a day
:11:12. > :11:14.in which some of you have been shedding the layers, you will be
:11:15. > :11:17.putting them back on for the rest of this week. Big changes ahead, all
:11:18. > :11:22.down to where the air has been coming from. Today, it originated in
:11:23. > :11:26.the Caribbean, hence the name tropical maritime air. Temperatures
:11:27. > :11:31.peaked at 18 degrees. But later this week, the winds go to the
:11:32. > :11:34.north-west, a different source, polar maritime air. Still over the
:11:35. > :11:35.sea,
