:00:12. > :00:16.By the end of this year, Londoners will become the first

:00:17. > :00:19.people in the country with access to a GP seven days a week,

:00:20. > :00:23.The promise has been made by the outgoing head

:00:24. > :00:26.Dr Anne Rainsberry has also said the capital

:00:27. > :00:27.could benefit from more money from government

:00:28. > :00:30.She's been speaking with our political correspondent,

:00:31. > :00:41.Are you ready? Steady?

:00:42. > :00:44.It looks and sounds like any GP appointment, but Anastasia is a bit

:00:45. > :00:47.young to realise that she may be at the forefront of change

:00:48. > :00:51.in London, because her GP is part of a practice that delivers care out

:00:52. > :00:56.Especially when you have a small child, they can't communicate,

:00:57. > :00:59.so it's either A or 111, and it's much easier

:01:00. > :01:08.Dr Hassan works in one of two surgeries in Southwark

:01:09. > :01:13.offering appointments from 8-8 seven days a week.

:01:14. > :01:16.Partly to relieve the pressure on A, a lot of these problems

:01:17. > :01:18.can be dealt with by doctors, and patients don't

:01:19. > :01:30.and it will relieve pressure on the A

:01:31. > :01:32.It's something the outgoing head of London's NHS promised would be

:01:33. > :01:35.happening across the capital by the end of the year.

:01:36. > :01:38.As she prepares to leave office, she told BBC London it would give

:01:39. > :01:45.But she did admit that hospitals in the capital could do with more

:01:46. > :01:50.If everyone is struggling financially, is it not the case

:01:51. > :01:54.that actually the NHS in London is underfunded?

:01:55. > :01:57.In terms of the way the formula works, in terms of how money

:01:58. > :02:03.is allocated, according to that formula, we are not underfunded.

:02:04. > :02:08.That's not quite the same thing, though, is it? No.

:02:09. > :02:11.As you leave, you recognise London is not getting the money

:02:12. > :02:14.it needs to deliver the services it should be delivering?

:02:15. > :02:19.There's lots of people in the NHS in London who express a view to me

:02:20. > :02:21.that they feel that the NHS needs more money.

:02:22. > :02:31.in order to deliver what the NHS needs to do deliver,

:02:32. > :02:35.we need to have a public debate about it.

:02:36. > :02:40.Could you do a better job if you had more money?

:02:41. > :02:44.The answer to that has to be yes, cos it would always be yes.

:02:45. > :02:50.That debate will rage on - so will the one about

:02:51. > :02:53.what will happen to a deal that was supposed to be

:02:54. > :02:55.signed between London and the national government

:02:56. > :02:57.that would have given more power to the capital over the sell-off

:02:58. > :03:01.of NHS land and could have led to higher pay for NHS staff.

:03:02. > :03:03.It was supposed to be launched in January, what's happened?

:03:04. > :03:05.Well, I mean, the intention of Partners in London

:03:06. > :03:10.Does that drive you nuts when you are the head

:03:11. > :03:15.You have this agreement that things need to change,

:03:16. > :03:17.you think you've got a deal, and eight months on,

:03:18. > :03:20.as you leave office, it hasn't been done?

:03:21. > :03:23.I'm disappointed it hasn't been done but I'm confident it will be.

:03:24. > :03:32.and the new woman who will take over the NHS in London.

:03:33. > :03:35.Without a deal, there are fears health service staff in the capital

:03:36. > :03:42.A teenager shot dead in East London has been named

:03:43. > :03:45.by police as former RAF cadet 19-year-old Abdul Mayanja.

:03:46. > :03:48.He was found by police after shots were fired

:03:49. > :03:53.Police believe Mr Mayanja left his home in Plaistow

:03:54. > :03:55.at about ten that night and may have been

:03:56. > :04:00.accompanied by two women, who detectives want to trace.

:04:01. > :04:03.The murder of a cartoonist which happened in 1987

:04:04. > :04:08.is to be re-investigated by Scotland Yard's Counter Terrorist Command.

:04:09. > :04:13.and known for satirising Arab and Israeli politics.

:04:14. > :04:16.He'd already received death threats

:04:17. > :04:18.prior to being shot dead in Knightsbridge.

:04:19. > :04:23.nobody has ever been convicted of his murder.

:04:24. > :04:30.shot dead 30 years ago on a London street aged 51.

:04:31. > :04:34.His satirical cartoons featured a character called Handala,

:04:35. > :04:40.based on Al-Ali's experiences growing up.

:04:41. > :04:42.His work criticised both the Israeli and Palestinian regimes.

:04:43. > :04:48.He received death threats in the years before he was killed.

:04:49. > :04:50.30 years on, and Mr Al-Ali's family believe

:04:51. > :04:55.the police knew who did this many years ago.

:04:56. > :04:58.TRANSLATION: The police back then talked about that man publicly,

:04:59. > :05:00.that he was wanted and they said the person organised

:05:01. > :05:07.They were fairly confident they knew who fired the gun as well.

:05:08. > :05:13.At around five o'clock in the afternoon on 22nd July 1987,

:05:14. > :05:16.Mr Al-Ali was walking from his car to his office on Ives Street

:05:17. > :05:23.when he was followed by a gunman and shot in the back of the neck.

:05:24. > :05:27.Police say this is how the gunman would look today.

:05:28. > :05:30.After the murder, he was seen running out of Ives Street

:05:31. > :05:32.back across Draycott Avenue and into Ixworth place.

:05:33. > :05:35.At the same time, a second older man in his 50s was seen concealing

:05:36. > :05:39.what looked like a gun in nearby Lucan Place.

:05:40. > :05:44.He gets into a left-hand drive silver Mercedes and drives away.

:05:45. > :05:47.His job was to get rid of the murder weapon,

:05:48. > :05:52.on open ground near the Hallfield Estate in Paddington.

:05:53. > :05:55.This is the 30 year anniversary of Mr Al-Ali's death,

:05:56. > :05:57.and over that period of time, 30 years, people's allegiances

:05:58. > :06:00.change, people who might not have felt confident at the time coming

:06:01. > :06:06.forward, I'd encourage them now to actually speak to us.

:06:07. > :06:12.The police, in particular, do not close such inquiries.

:06:13. > :06:16.They always remain active and are constantly reviewed,

:06:17. > :06:18.and, as a result, if people feel they can help us,

:06:19. > :06:20.I would encourage them to make contact.

:06:21. > :06:24.While for now the person who pulled the trigger remains a mystery,

:06:25. > :06:27.police are clear this was a politcally motivated murder.

:06:28. > :06:30.It seems Mr Al-Ali's art was so effective,

:06:31. > :06:39.When you think of London in the future,

:06:40. > :06:41.you might imagine drones, or maybe flying cars

:06:42. > :06:44.above your head, or an even heavier polluted,

:06:45. > :06:48.over-populated city than it already is.

:06:49. > :06:52.So what might London look like in 2050?

:06:53. > :06:54.Here's the first in a series of reports.

:06:55. > :06:59.This one comes from our transport correspondent, Tom Edwards.

:07:00. > :07:05.Could flying cars be the future of transport in cities?

:07:06. > :07:07.This is the latest sci-fi Blade Runner film.

:07:08. > :07:10.NEWSREEL: All you need is a few hundred gallons of liquid hydrogen.

:07:11. > :07:13.Or could jet packs revolutionise travel?

:07:14. > :07:17.And there are plenty of ideas that don't make it.

:07:18. > :07:22.In three or four years' time, every other car is going to be one.

:07:23. > :07:30.The plan is for all vehicles in London to be zero-emissions by 2050.

:07:31. > :07:33.Our kids will not know what an engine sounds like,

:07:34. > :07:36.and a rev and this, that and the other in years to come.

:07:37. > :07:38.There is no reason why everyone won't go electric

:07:39. > :07:42.You can see, with the upsell of electric cars,

:07:43. > :07:47.it will be the way forward. It's a game-changer.

:07:48. > :07:49.The big challenge for city planners will be a growing population

:07:50. > :07:52.and increasing demands on limited space.

:07:53. > :07:56.It is predicted that, in 25 years' time,

:07:57. > :08:00.the population of London will be 10.5 million.

:08:01. > :08:03.That will mean increased investment in infrastructure,

:08:04. > :08:10.Crossrail 2, Crossrail 3, perhaps even Crossrail 4.

:08:11. > :08:14.there are all kinds of concepts of the future.

:08:15. > :08:17.These are called T-bots. Droids that designate road space.

:08:18. > :08:21.This is a 60-minute car that's stored while not in use.

:08:22. > :08:28.In the 1900s, they also thought commuting would be be done by air.

:08:29. > :08:31.The buzz phrase at the moment in the transport world is something

:08:32. > :08:36.That is you use apps and smartphones

:08:37. > :08:39.to call up vehicles to where you are.

:08:40. > :08:42.Some people say that that means in the future we won't need

:08:43. > :08:52.The question there is, what does that mean for the capital's streets?

:08:53. > :08:57.We are already seeing trials of driverless vehicles in the capital.

:08:58. > :08:59.Will automation make the roads, buses and trains

:09:00. > :09:04.What would that mean, if there are fewer vehicles?

:09:05. > :09:06.One interesting statistic is the average car today

:09:07. > :09:11.Most cars are hardly ever used. You see that in London.

:09:12. > :09:14.You walk around, the streets are filled with parked cars.

:09:15. > :09:19.In the future, if we stop buying the cars that we don't need

:09:20. > :09:22.and we only use mobility as a service, it could be

:09:23. > :09:25.that we free up a lot of road space for other uses,

:09:26. > :09:27.whether that's walking, cycling, more cafes, shops,

:09:28. > :09:32.NEWSREEL: There's room on board for a passenger as well.

:09:33. > :09:36.This is another idea that didn't make it.

:09:37. > :09:38.Nonetheless, innovation and investment will be key

:09:39. > :09:40.for the future of London's transport.

:09:41. > :09:50.Why didn't that water scooter mated?! I would love to come to work

:09:51. > :09:51.on that! Tomorrow, we'll look

:09:52. > :09:53.at what London's homes That's it for now from me,

:09:54. > :10:05.but let's find out Beautiful picture of Horse Guards

:10:06. > :10:10.there. We have had some beautiful pictures,

:10:11. > :10:16.and the dates over the weekend matched the maximum temperature, so

:10:17. > :10:21.by rights we should be at 30 degrees, but it is going to be 16,

:10:22. > :10:25.rather grey, damp with a northerly breeze. And a bit of rain around at

:10:26. > :10:29.the moment through the English Channel, some on the heavy side,

:10:30. > :10:32.that will be pushing up towards us through the night, then joined by

:10:33. > :10:37.some more rain as we go through the day tomorrow. Along with that, the

:10:38. > :10:41.breeze turning to a more northerly direction, more comfortable for

:10:42. > :10:46.sleeping tonight, 11-13d. Keep the brolly with you first thing, heavy

:10:47. > :10:49.bursts of rain, more persistent as the day goes on, and with the

:10:50. > :10:54.northerly breeze, quite chilly compared to what we have had of

:10:55. > :10:58.late. On the outlook, though, brighter news for the end of the

:10:59. > :11:01.week, some sunshine, maybe the odd shower, but high pressure building

:11:02. > :11:04.in for shower, but high pressure building

:11:05. > :11:09.in for the weekend. Darren Bett has the national forecast.

:11:10. > :11:16.Today the heat was focused on the south-east of England, tomorrow this

:11:17. > :11:21.will be the focus of some rain. This was today in Kent, where we actually

:11:22. > :11:26.saw the highest temperatures, not far away from Maidstone, 29 degrees.

:11:27. > :11:31.We had 26 up in Chelmsford. Tomorrow we're going to struggle to make 15

:11:32. > :11:40.or 16 degrees, a significant change from the last couple of days. It is

:11:41. > :11:44.a two pronged rain attack, cloud from the near continent producing

:11:45. > :11:47.showers, this will thicken up, rain developing in the south-west

:11:48. > :11:51.approach is heading towards Wales, the Midlands and eventually the

:11:52. > :11:54.south-west of England. At the same time, the showers in the channel

:11:55. > :11:59.will develop more widely in the south-east. Further north, clear

:12:00. > :12:04.skies, chilly overnight tonight, but for much of England and Wales, much

:12:05. > :12:05.milder. Temperatures will not rise very much at all
