Good afternoon and welcome to BBC London News. | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
A new report's found bus drivers in the capital are struggling | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
with stress and exhaustion - and there are fears it's | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
contributing to a rise in the number of crashes on the roads. | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Over the last two years, 25 people were killed | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
You may fine the firstel imagines make uncomfortable viewing. A bus | :00:28. | :00:44. | |
severely injures a pedestrian. In Ladbroke Grove a bus mounts a | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
pavement again people are hurt. And today reports said the capital o's | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
buses could be made safer. Ten years ago Sarah's mother died after being | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
hit by a bus. Her daughter lost her leg. She wants operator to reduce | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
the stress on drivers. We had a terrible incident in our family, and | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
it was caused by a bus driver having road rage, which is unforgivable and | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
it must never happen again. But, since that happened, since I have | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
been working on my campaign to help bus drivers, I have learned quite a | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
lot about the stresses and strains they are under, and I think we need | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
to really think about them and what they physically do, which is more | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
than driving a bus. 25 people have been killed on or by buses in the | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
last two years with 12,000 people injured. Today, a report found an | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
emphasis on punctuality over safety with drivers facing long hours that | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
compromises their ability. One thing is making sure that the contracts | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
centre by safety but we need to make sure Transport for London's own | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
management have in their bonus regime safety at the heart of it. We | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
need to make sure the life of drivers is better and making sure | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
they can have meal break, that they don't drive for 16 hours at a time. | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
If they are tired they may make mistakes. Compared to the Croydon | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
train crash the report found that incident investigation is not as | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
thorough. Joanne Harris has been a bus driver for ten years. Most | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
drivers are doing 12 hour days, and then getting forced overtime, on top | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
of that. So 13-and-a-half hours of all out stress with those people | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
onboard is not a good combination for road safety. TFL says it is | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
taking action to improve safety. It is aiming for no deaths by 2030. | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
Campaigners are calling for quirk action. | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
The Finsbury Park mosque, where worshippers were targeted | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
in a terror attack last month, says it's seen a rise in hate crime | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
One man died, and nine others were taken to hospital, | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
after a van was driven into a group leaving evening prayers. | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
The Mosque's chairman believes the incident has fuelled | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
Here at Finsbury Park Mosque the community says it is taking comfort | :03:07. | :03:22. | |
in these messages of support, which have arrived from local | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
school-children here are a book full of their hand print, messages | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
showing solidarity, but the Chairman of the mosque says this isn't the | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
only communication they have received here, in the months since | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
the attack. They have seen more and more threatening messages arrive. | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
When people send us a letter saying that this is the beginning of what's | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
happening, you will have a river of blood for example, and we will make | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
sure that you will get hurt and your community get hurt, expect a bomb | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
and other thing in in your centres and these sort of things which is | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
very nasty and worrying and we immediate to make sure our all are | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
protected and safe, this is what we are trying to do. Do you feel they | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
haven't been doing enough up to this point? I am not saying they haven't | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
done enough, they can do more, we can do more as well, we all need to | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
work together, this is a big responsibility on us, and I am sure | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
the police are trying their best to catch these perpetrator, it is not | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
easy. We are not asking to catch every perpetrator who send alert, | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
something like that, we know it is impossible. We expect that something | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
to be done about some of these letters and to get to the bottom of | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
letters and to get to the bottom of it and find out who is behind it. | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
Mohammed Kozbar ending that report speaking to Katharine Carpenter. | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
And we will be hearing from the Met Police about how | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
they are tackling hate crime in London on our 6:30pm programme. | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
The Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, says people who carry out acid | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
attacks could be jailed for life, as part of a government review. | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
Last week, there were five acid attacks in just one | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
night across Islington, Stoke Newington and Hackney. | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
This afternoon, MPs will debate restricting the sales of corrosive | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
acids, and whether a licence should be required to buy them. | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
People living near the Grenfell Tower in Kensington are to receive | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
stability of the fire damaged building. | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
Michael Lockwood - the chief executive | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
of Harrow Council and a member of the Grenfell Task Force - said | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
letters would be sent out today- after a range of experts had | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
He said scaffolding may go up around the tower in the future, but only | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
Now you'll probably remember Levi Roots as the Dragons Den | :05:31. | :05:39. | |
entrepreneur who shot to fame and fortune with his spicy | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
But although he's been busy in the kitchen, he's not | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
He's been telling Alice Bhandhukravi about his latest venture. | :05:45. | :05:52. | |
Obviously I am the sauce guy. ? You're the sauce guy. That's all I'm | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
good for ebbing making the sauce this is where I would normally be, | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
creating the sauces. He is a reggae singer by trade but this is his | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
other passion, here we are in the kitchen of his Caribbean restaurant. | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
It was me doing it in my kitchen in Brixton with my children. That is | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
where it started. I would be there, like, singing songs and... Listening | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
to reggae. And getting involved and making the sauces and at the end of | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
it, here we are ten years later and I am doing the same thing but it is | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
great fun. His man a has been put music in the food so he has put | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
together a compilation of reggae hits as a soundtrack for summer | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
cooking. # Sun is shining | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
# The weather is sweet. # When I hear Sun Is Shining it | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
reminds me of the man who helped me change my life. And he has in turn | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
set about inspiring young people to achieve in business, through his | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
motivational courses. Giving that message if I can do it anyone can do | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
it. I do believe that young people, some time, especially kids that are | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
kind of suffering in their backgrounds like I did, you tend to | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
think that you are not going to make it and things are against you and | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
there is doors closed you can break down, so I go in and I say there is | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
no doors you can't get through, apart from the ones you put in place | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
yourselves. Wise words there. | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
Now let's check on the weather with Georgina. | :07:30. | :07:40. | |
Good afternoon, some of us enjoying some glorious blue sky out there | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
today and this was the scene captured by our weather watcher | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
Anthony. So lots of sunshine round, thank you for that picture and all | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
the picture, as we head through the afternoon it is looks like it is | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
staying dry and sunny. Not much of a breeze. Temperatures getting up to | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
26 or 27. As we head through this evening we will see more cloud | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
round. It has been feeling fresher than over the weekend. The same goes | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
for tomorrow, but it may be a bit sticky overnight. Temperatures | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
getting down 15 or 16 degrees Celsius. And then for tomorrow, | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
well, we will probably have pockets of cloud, not quite the wall-to-wall | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
sunshine some of us are having today. But still a fine bright day | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
with sunny spells. An easterly breeze and temperatures getting up | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
to the high 20, mainly for north-west London, so that is where | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
we will see the highest temperatures. Elsewhere getting to | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
the mid 20s. In the eve thing we start to see thupedry showers from | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
our friend on the Continent and the Met off fits has a yellow warning in | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
place, from 5pm until 8pm on Wednesday. Most of us clear | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
overnight but on Wednesday we we start to have our own home-grown | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
showers sparked off by the heat. So a bit of cloud round on Wednesday, | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
temperatures again, up in the high 20s, but becoming fresher again on | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
Well, that's it from us on the lunchtime team - | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
There is more on the website. Whatever you are up to, enjoy your | :09:14. | :09:24. | |
afternoon. Bye. | :09:25. | :09:26. |
