:01:41. > :01:42.Having almost like another teenager time, she just

:02:33. > :02:34.That's three keys with a Morrisons key fob on them.
:02:35. > :02:40.For local drivers and residents, did you see Lea on Monday?
:02:41. > :02:43.She's very distinctive, platinum hair, as family describe

:02:47. > :02:59.Did you see her at the allotments or at her home address?

:03:05. > :03:14.Nick Beake, BBC London News, Colindale.
:03:15. > :03:16.The BBC has discovered that pollution levels around one
:03:17. > :03:19.of the busiest sections of road in the country have been excluded
:03:20. > :03:21.from official government data - despite regularly exceeding
:03:22. > :03:24.All this week in our series Toxic London -
:03:25. > :03:26.we'll be looking at the issue of air quality.
:03:27. > :03:29.Tonight Sarah Smith reports from the Dartford Crossing on why up
:03:30. > :03:30.until two years ago levels of pollutions there
:03:31. > :03:36.50 million journeys are made on this stretch of road every year.
:03:37. > :03:38.The towns closest, Dartford to the south
:03:39. > :03:42.and Thurrock to the north have some of the highest percentages of death
:03:43. > :03:45.due to air pollution in the south-east.
:03:46. > :03:49.In Dartford the council's recorded nitrogen dioxide
:03:50. > :03:54.levels above safe limits for years and when the town didn't appear in
:03:55. > :03:56.the national air quality plan they were puzzled.
:03:57. > :04:06.We discovered that the tunnel approach road was classed as a rural
:04:07. > :04:13.road, and therefore the air monitoring figures that they had and
:04:14. > :04:15.that they were using for their modelling purposes was incorrect.
:04:16. > :04:18.It's meant that for years, national data
:04:19. > :04:21.this incredibly busy stretch of road.
:04:22. > :04:28.Whoever decided that there's no pollution around here, we doesn't

:04:32. > :04:35.I've got two small children and regularly
:04:36. > :04:38.if you live here you will notice several times a day, or several
:04:39. > :04:40.times a week, there is just bumper-to-bumper traffic.
:04:41. > :04:44.The crossing and its approach roads aren't
:04:45. > :04:47.classed as part of the motorway but as the A282 and A roads can
:04:48. > :04:49.count as rural if they're outside urban areas.
:04:50. > :04:51.But that's clearly not the case here.
:04:52. > :04:53.Jim Sutton, who lives near the crossing,
:04:54. > :04:54.believes it exacerbated the respiratory problems which afflicted
:04:55. > :05:03.The air pollution round here certainly didn't help her.
:05:04. > :05:05.She used to say, "I wish we could move, Jim."
:05:06. > :05:10.Scientists from King's College have carried out their own monitoring.
:05:11. > :05:15.The European legal limit was broken on three days.
:05:16. > :05:20.That was primarily because the pollution
:05:21. > :05:22.which the road is producing every day with the traffic
:05:23. > :05:26.with pollution that was coming over from the continent.
:05:27. > :05:28.The Department for the Environment says the
:05:29. > :05:31.Department for Transport made the classification.
:05:32. > :05:33.The Department for Transport says it was the Department
:05:34. > :05:37.Either way it's finally been reclassified as urban.
:05:38. > :05:42.This news comes on the day that the head of the World Health
:05:43. > :05:45.Organisation described air pollution as one of the most pernicious
:05:46. > :05:50.It's linked to the death of hundreds of thousands of children every year.
:05:51. > :05:56.Sarah Smith, BBC London News, the Dartford Crossing.
:05:57. > :05:59.And continuing our series - tomorrow we'll have rare access
:06:00. > :06:04.inside the capital's specialist children's asthma clinic.
:06:05. > :06:08.If you're interested in what changes you can make -
:06:09. > :06:19.An unexploded World War Two bomb which was discovered on a building
:06:20. > :06:22.site in north-west London last week has been detonated in Essex.
:06:23. > :06:26.Experts from the Royal Navy and British Army safely disposed
:06:27. > :06:33.of the 500lb device at a military base in Southend.
:06:34. > :06:35.As part of the Government's drive to train up more
:06:36. > :06:37.apprentices by 2020 - from next month companies
:06:38. > :06:40.with a payroll of ?3 million or more will be forced
:06:41. > :06:52.to invest thousands in training school leavers or lose the money.
:06:53. > :06:54.But are businesses aware of the new levy?
:06:55. > :06:56.Marc Ashdown reports from the National
:06:57. > :06:59.Negotiating a route into work is a tricky business.
:07:00. > :07:01.The Army is one of 70 exhibitors here trying
:07:02. > :07:04.Apprenticeships are increasingly seen as a way into all
:07:05. > :07:10.While many of her friends are off to university, Zena is training
:07:11. > :07:17.Sometimes when people go to university they're still trying
:07:18. > :07:25.But, not only that, they're in a huge amount of debt.
:07:26. > :07:27.15,000 students are expected to attend this event.
:07:28. > :07:30.It's a shop window to show how varied and important
:07:31. > :07:33.Historically, people thought that an apprenticeship was for people
:07:34. > :07:35.who aren't academically bright or do not have a choice
:07:36. > :07:40.An apprenticeship really is open to anybody.
:07:41. > :07:43.It is crucial, it is absolutely crucial that we have a workforce
:07:44. > :07:44.that is better educated, better trained, better
:07:45. > :07:51.To that end, new legislation from April means any firm
:07:52. > :07:55.with a payroll of ?3 million or more will have to commit 0.5%
:07:56. > :07:59.of its budget to training apprentices, or lose the money.
:08:00. > :08:03.But a recent survey by City and Guilds found more than a third
:08:04. > :08:06.of London businesses aren't even aware of the new levy.
:08:07. > :08:13.Nine years ago I joined as an apprentice and I started my
:08:14. > :08:17.career and since then I've stayed with the company.
:08:18. > :08:20.And someone tells me you are employee of the year?
:08:21. > :08:26.Yes, I won an award, employee of the year
:08:27. > :08:32.Even those who have struggled academically,
:08:33. > :08:37.He's now thinking of signing up as a tank engineer.
:08:38. > :08:43.It's actually very nice to come up and have a surprise, like, "Oh,
:08:44. > :08:46.your three GCSEs can get you quite far in life even if everyone else
:08:47. > :08:50.That is probably a very reassuring thing to me.
:08:51. > :08:52.For many students and parents it's a first conversation
:08:53. > :08:58.Rather than his brothers who have both done degrees,
:08:59. > :09:01.he is more interested to go and not have the debt.
:09:02. > :09:03.You just jump straight through to a career and you get
:09:04. > :09:06.to learn skills needed for the apprenticeship you're doing.
:09:07. > :09:15.More and more young people then are realising the benefits
:09:16. > :09:20.That's it from me, but I'll leave you now with Wendy Hurrell
:09:21. > :09:31.The Weather for the Week Ahead is very mild, that's the first thing
:09:32. > :09:37.you will notice, particularly midweek onwards. We will encounter a
:09:38. > :09:42.few spells of rain and it will be windy at times so not like the day
:09:43. > :09:45.we had today which was practically perfect, bits of blue sky,
:09:46. > :09:48.blossoming underneath them, that's because we got lucky, there were
:09:49. > :09:54.showers around down the eastern side of the country and a few traipsing
:09:55. > :09:57.in from the west as well, we were in the nice sunny slot, the puffy
:09:58. > :10:01.cumulus clouds to enjoy throughout the day. It's conceivable one or two
:10:02. > :10:06.showers will creep across London and the Home Counties in the early hours
:10:07. > :10:09.of the morning but mostly it is dry with clear sky, particularly parts
:10:10. > :10:14.of Surrey and Buckinghamshire, temperatures may be low enough for a
:10:15. > :10:18.touch of frost locally and it may be a chilly start under clear skies
:10:19. > :10:22.first thing tomorrow morning but we will get brightness and sunshine and
:10:23. > :10:25.it will turn more hazy as the day goes on and cloud over completely
:10:26. > :10:33.eventually. Before that happens temperatures should get into double
:10:34. > :10:37.figures and behind me here is the rain that comes through on Tuesday
:10:38. > :10:40.night. It eventually clears through the leaves behind a lot of cloud.
:10:41. > :10:44.From Wednesday onwards rather grey skies but rather mild conditions, 13
:10:45. > :10:47.or 14 degrees, often breezy but the winds are south-westerly so the mild
:10:48. > :10:52.weather comes from that direction and it gets a bit upset at the
:10:53. > :10:57.weekend. A low pressure system moves in and that turns the wind to a more
:10:58. > :11:01.northerly quarter so the outlook for the weekend is something rather
:11:02. > :11:05.cool, it will be windy at times as well and still rather unsettled with
:11:06. > :11:09.some blustery showers around. That's the London forecast and now for the
:11:10. > :11:17.National forecast, over to Nick Miller.
:11:18. > :11:24.North-west France and Plymouth were miles apart weather-wise. This
:11:25. > :11:29.southern flank in north-west France there was a wind gusts of 120 mph
:11:30. > :11:32.which we just dodged. That area of low pressure continues to move
:11:33. > :11:37.quickly south-eastwards so that by tomorrow it is in Italy on its
:11:38. > :11:41.southern flank, stormy in Sardinia and around it strong winds blowing
:11:42. > :11:44.through south-east France. We've got a little bump in the ice bars with
:11:45. > :11:45.lighter winds, a brief
