and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are. | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Good afternoon and welcome to BBC London News. | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
Police are investigating yet another suspected acid | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
Two men were taken to hospital after an unknown liquid was thrown at them | :00:20. | :00:35. | |
I'm joined in east London, close to where this incident | :00:36. | :00:45. | |
happened last night, by Rabina Khan. | :00:46. | :00:46. | |
-- She is a Tower Hamlets Councillor. | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
I understand you've been to see one of the victims in hospital and met | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
the family last night, how is he doing? | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
I was with both the families and both of the victims, as well. | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
And I have to say that both young men are very good, | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
The mothers have been devastated by what they have seen. | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
In particular one young man whose one side of his face | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
And they've both been referred to a burns unit. | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
That's Shakwat Hussain, isn't it, the 24-year-old? | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
Any indication as to what might have provoked this? | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
We understand the person police are looking for, | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
the person they have said they saw do this, | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
I think that's what the statements have stated but it is best | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
So that they can catch the perpetrators and make sure | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
that they are brought to justice, as well. | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
My part in this is to support the families, make sure | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
And often in these cases we talk about legislation, | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
we talk about a range of other things, but we also have to talk | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
about the victim and the support they and their families need. | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
In terms of trying to stop acid attacks in London, | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
and across the UK, there has been a lot of talk about greater | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
regulation for those who sell acid or corrosive liquids and greater | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
punishment for those found carrying or using it. | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
And how soon do you think this can happen? | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
Sentences need to be tougher, but at the same time, | :02:05. | :02:13. | |
before we even get to that stage, we need to make sure | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
Councils through their trading standards can also take | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
We need to also hold retailers who sell corrosive substances to be | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
far more responsible with whom they sell it to. | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
Thank you very much for joining us here. | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
Police continue to investigate this incident last night in which two | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
young men had a corrosive liquid thrown at them. | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
As it stands there have been no arrests. | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
A man accused of the kidnap, rape and murder of a young woman | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
in Kingston upon Thames is to stand trial | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
Celine Dookhran was found dead at a house a week ago. | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
Mujahid Arshid appeared at the Old Bailey today - | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
alongside another man, who's accused of kidnap. | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
One in seven women who die within a year of giving birth | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
Yet mental health problems for pregnant women and new mothers | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
is still not something many people talk about. | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
Now St Mary's Hospital in Paddington is trying to change this - | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
and make sure women across London have the support they need. | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
The most common side effect you can have | :03:17. | :03:29. | |
during pregnancy is problems with your mental health. | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
On the surface Pippa enjoyed two perfectly healthy pregnancies. | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
But she couldn't understand why things were so hard. | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
I always thought that being depressed was being | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
And I ended up going to see my gynaecologist for an appointment | :03:43. | :03:51. | |
And she said, I think we need to get you to see somebody. | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
For every five women in the UK who have a baby, | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
One in seven women who die in the first year of their baby's | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
It makes you feel like you are failing, it makes you feel | :04:05. | :04:15. | |
like you are not being the mum your child deserves. | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
And telling someone that, that is kind of hard. | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
Madeline leads a team at St Mary's Hospital who treat | :04:21. | :04:30. | |
pregnant women and new mothers who have mental health problems. | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
We are finding it hard to get out of bed in the morning. | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
This centre wants to get rid of the stigma of | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
In a sense our society doesn't give women permission to become unwell or | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
to be honest about how unwell they can feel. | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
And many women for instance have a fear of childbirth | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
or may feel estranged from their babies. | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
And this feeling is very difficult to disclose. | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
Thanks to ?3 million grant, this centre can now help women across | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
five boroughs make their fears more normal. | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
The aim is to catch the problems early so that they can | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
safeguard a more hopeful and happy future for all the family. | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
A man serving a life sentence for raping and murdering the teenage | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
model Sally Anne Bowman in south London has admitted previously | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
Mark Dixie was jailed for repeatedly stabbing Miss Bowman, | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
He's appeared via videolink at Southwark Crown Court | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
and admitted raping a woman in 1987- when he was 16 and attacking | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
This week marks five years on from the start | :05:36. | :05:43. | |
And of course it all began with the torch-bearers - | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
who carried the flame to the stadium in east London. | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
Among those chosen for the honour was John Lake, | :05:51. | :05:52. | |
who was nominated after overcoming a brain tumour and depression. | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
He's been sharing his memories of that day. | :05:55. | :06:03. | |
In 2012 I was nominated to carry the torch with the Olympic flame. | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
And following the surgery from that I got a very severe depression, | :06:07. | :06:15. | |
and I got suicidal, and I got sectioned in 2006. | :06:16. | :06:24. | |
As I was waiting for the torch what went through my mind | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
One thing I found that really made me feel better was exercise. | :06:28. | :06:41. | |
Running and getting the endorphins flowing through the system | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
So I did the London Marathon in 2007 for the Brain Research Trust. | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
In the year after that I did the Ironman triathlon. | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
COMMENTATOR: No false starts, thank goodness. | :06:53. | :07:00. | |
I went to see Usain Bolt run his 200 metre heat, | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
So I'd been watching all of the field events, | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
which were quite mad, you know, the high jump and the long | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
And when Usain Bolt came in the whole stadium stood up. | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
And he won, of course, he won his heat. | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
It was mad to be seeing that, to be a part of that, | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
Looking on, five years back, I feel like I've made | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
I'm now a qualified mental health counsellor. | :07:27. | :07:34. | |
My commitment to exercise is still there because I still like to get | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
out and run because it makes me feel mentally better, | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
It feels like a real journey, if I look back to see how far I have | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
Great memories. What is not great is the weather. It does not feel like | :07:45. | :07:56. | |
July, does it? Not at the moment. He did earlier. | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
This was West London earlier today. A promising start with | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
the low 20s with some sunshine, as well. | :08:04. | :09:24. | |
Well that's all from us on the lunchtime team | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
Asad Ahmad will be here tonight though with our evening programme - | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
We've got a wild week of adventure planned, UK-style... | :09:30. | :09:47. | |
Join us to celebrate our own home-grown wilderness. | :09:48. | :10:04. | |
Ahead of his final race, the inside story of the fastest man. | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
Bolt is a shining example of the best that we can be. | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
A man like him is not born very often. | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
There's just so much work to get to that one moment, | :10:18. | :10:21. |
