Now on BBC One, it's time

for the news where you are.

Good evening, I'm Asad Ahmad.

Plans to make London the safest city

in the world for women have

come under attack...

from some women.

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan,

has pledged millions of pounds

to start changing society's

attitudes towards women

and making them feel safer,

but his plan has also

been called "offensive".

Here's Sarah Harris.

Often people are so scared

to actually make a point

and say, you're doing this.

Listening to women from all

ages and backgrounds.

The Mayor determined to make

London a beacon for gender

equality across the world.

For him, that's not just

about tackling violence,

but changing attitudes.

We've got to prevent women

being the victims of violence,

women and girls, and that means

education, changing boys'

attitudes in particular.

Making sure that we

investment in young people.

Making sure there are

safe places to work.

The event was held at

the Royal Central School of Speech

and Drama where they've introduced

a zero-tolerance attitude

to sexual abuse.

Student Milly Wise was able to get

help when she says a man rubbed

himself against her in a bar.

She says a sign on the wall made it

clear where to get support.

I felt very uncomfortable,

it was not nice at all.

I actually felt a little bit

sick because I don't

want that on me at all.

But, like I say, I remembered seeing

the sign and it was definitely a big

reassurance to know that this space

had that system in place.

Across the world this week women

have been marching to celebrate

International Women's Day,

but not everyone is convinced in

London much intervention is needed.

You know, women have fought

for years to be treated as equals

and to be treated as strong,

autonomous individuals

and I actually find it a little bit

offensive this kind of a message

from the Mayor of London that,

you know, Sadiq Khan is going

to come and save all of us women.

We don't need him to save us,

we're all doing fine.

It's early days for the Mayor's

plans, but there'll be funding

for tackling perpetrators

and victim support.

The aim - to make the capital

the world's safest city for women.

A teenager who was shot and killed

in north London has been named

as 19-year-old Kelvin Odunuyi.

He was shot yesterday outside

a cinema in Wood Green.

Police are looking for two people

who rode off on a moped.

A patient with a serious

lung condition says

she was "horrified" to find that

three "Do Not Attempt Resuscitation"

forms were put on her medical

records against here

and her family's wishes.

Carol Hall was having treatment

at Frimley Park Hospital

when the forms were discovered.

Sophie Seth has been

speaking to Mrs Hall.

Frightening to think they could have

those forms and I didn't know

anything about them.

Carol has a degenerative lung

condition called COPD,

last summer a chest infection meant

she was in and out of

Frimley Park Hospital.

In that time, she had

three do not attempt

resuscitation forms on her file.

Both she and her husband told me

they had no knowledge of them.

All three forms said that Carol

and her family agreed

she shouldn't be resuscitated,

something they dispute.

Resuscitation has risks.

Doctors are advised that a patient's

wishes should always be considered,

but they don't have to give

treatment if they believe it

won't benefit the patient.

However, medical guidelines state

that doctors must provide

"honest and accurate record-keeping"

of the process.

I've contacted Frimley Park

Hospital, but it says it cannot

comment on this particular case.

However, it says it understands

the importance of good communication

when it comes to issues around

do not attempt cardiopulmonary

resuscitation.

The hospital also says it's

reviewing its current forms

to ensure they are as clear

as possible for

clinicians and patients.

One charity has told us they have

seen an increase in patients

concerned about resuscitation forms.

We know that doctors are under a lot

of pressure and sometimes

the communication isn't happening,

and sometimes I think they're almost

frightened to have the conversation,

they're worried the patient

is going to be upset.

Carol is now receiving NHS

care packages at home,

she hopes no-one else goes

through what she did.

I'd like to see that they

are treated correctly,

with care and compassion

because some people out

there might not have any family

to stick up for them.

After nearly 70 years

as one of Britain's most

famous music publications,

NME will no longer be available

as a magazine from today.

Its publisher says the decision

to stop the print edition

is due to rising costs.

One of its former writers is author

and journalist Tony Parsons,

who shared his memories.

I think if you were a child

in the '60s, then music

was absolutely at the centre

of your universe, and

the NME was my Bible.

# The Jean Genie

lives on his back #.

I ended up working for the NME

because it was the only job

in the world that I really wanted,

and it was...

I'll tell you what it was like,

it was like stepping

through the back of the wardrobe

into Narnia.

It was a completely magical

and transcendent experience.

# The Shareef don't like it #.

We discovered bands

and we championed bands

and we understood what the little

kernel of magic at their heart.

When the NME was great,

and it was great for knocking

on for half a century.

You know, we were standing

on the shoulders of giants.

You know, we had so

much to write about.

It's a period of time,

a magical embarrassment of riches.

A great golden era for music

that's drawing to a close,

and the NME's part of it.

Some great musical memories

there with Tony Parsons.

Let's get the weather now with Stav.

Let's get the weather now with Stav.

I got caught out in the rain today?

I know. That was... This was the

thing of the past. Early on this

morning it was glorious. Quickly

conditions went down hill and cloud

and rain spread northwards.

It will

be wet tonight it will introduce

milder air. This weekend is looking

much milder than last weekend. There

will be sunshine and showers. The

overnight rain will clear. Through

quite quickly. By dawn there should

be clear spells and mist and fog

around. Temperatures no lower than

10 or 11 degrees to start Saturday.

Early brightness will diminish. A

band of showery rain will spread up

from the south. Some could be heavy

in places. We could see a little bit

of brightness in between. What you

will notice is the temperatures, 14

or 15 degrees maybe 16 degrees. That

is much milder than what we had of

late. That mild theme will remain

for the week ahead. It will be

fairly unsettled at times. Windy as

well as we head through the course

of the week. Stay tuned
