Hello and good afternoon from BBC London News. | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
Our top story this lunchtime: Ten people have been injured | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
after a double decker bus crashed into a kitchen showroom | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
near Clapham Junction station this morning. | :00:24. | :00:31. | |
Three of them were taken to hospital, including | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
told a nurse he blacked out before the crash. | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
Ayshea, there were two people trapped on the top deck | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
Yes, that is right. If you look over my shoulder you can probably see the | :00:41. | :00:52. | |
bus is still lodged inside the shop on Lavender Hill, not far from | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
Clapham Junction station and it is still cordoned off to the traffic | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
and the public. Just before seven o'clock this morning the bus veered | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
off the street and into the shop front of the kitchen design showroom | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
and two women were trapped on board the bus on the top deck. There were | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
ten passengers also on the bus and one of them said what he saw. | :01:15. | :01:22. | |
There was an overhang and it started coming into the bus and entered a | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
window and crushing the bus on the top floor. It went maybe four or | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
five seats deep before the bus came to a stop. There was a lot of | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
screaming from passengers on the bus. There was a lady in the front | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
right seed and you could only see the upper half of her body. She was | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
screaming for help and there was blood. | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
Ten passengers were treated at the scene and those two women were | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
rescued by London Fire Brigade. One of them spoke to us about how they | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
did it. I carried on all of our front line fire appliances and our | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
special rescue units have a variety of tools and we used a number of | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
those instruments to make safe space to get the passengers out. Have you | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
been able to find out any more about how this happen? An eyewitness has | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
claimed the bus driver lost consciousness and had some sort of | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
fit and that is why he lost control of the bus, but that has not been | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
verified. Transport for London are investigating and London Fire | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
Brigade have been on board all morning doing their own | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
investigation. The shop owners, a German company, said no one was in | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
the shop at the time because it had not opened, but their thoughts are | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
with the driver and all the passengers who were injured. | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
The government has said it won't be providing the London Fire Brigade | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
with more money after it asked for help in buying extra equipment. | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
The request was made in the wake of the Grenfell Tower fire | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
and included new breathing apparatus and longer ladders. | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
Our Political Correspondent Karl Mercer reports. | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
The Grenfell fire led to calls for London's fire | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
It had to borrow an aerial ladder from Surrey and a drone from Kent | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
London's fire commissioner then drew up a list of new equipment | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
The Mayor has said he'll raid savings to find the six million | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
pounds needed but wants the government to cover the cost. | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
I have had an initial response from the Home Secretary which I regret to | :03:30. | :03:42. | |
say is not encouraging and stresses it is a matter for the GLA to manage | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
with its existing funding. The message is the Fire Brigade one spot | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
kick, City Hall will have to pay for it. | :03:55. | :04:07. | |
How can we afford all this without the government's help? There will be | :04:08. | :04:15. | |
problems in the future for the London Fire Brigade. Let's fund our | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
Fire Brigade properly and I ask the Home Secretary, think again. Sadiq | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
Khan has been elected the Mayor of London and understands the situation | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
in London and he has made that call and he is doing it for a reason. | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
The Mayor says paying for the new kit could mean scenes | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
like this in the coming years with the potential for fire station | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
closures and the loss of jobs as was seen three years ago | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
The Home Secretary's letter says City Hall is getting enough money | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
People living on the canals near Tottenham say more needs to be | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
done to protect them after a spate of violent attacks. | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
There've been at least eight thefts in just over a week - | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
some of which saw people threatened with knives or assaulted. | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
All the victims were punched and kicked whilst | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
they were on the floor, even after relinquishing | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
That shows and demonstrates the people we're dealing with here. | :05:07. | :05:14. | |
Next, she went from soap star to pop star, but then Martine McCutcheon | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
The former EastEnders actress has opened up | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
about her years of ill health, sometimes struggling | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
Now, at the age of 41, she's attempting a career comeback. | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
It was the last in a long line of things. | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
From finding fame as barmaid Tiffany in Eastenders | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
# This is my moment, this is my perfect moment with you... | :05:38. | :05:51. | |
Martine McCutcheon shot to stardom on stage and screen, | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
it seemed she had it all, but then she lost everything. | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
Things were bad, there were things I couldn't get up and move at all, | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
The one thing I could do that cost nothing was just | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
She had been diagnosed with ME and Lyme disease, | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
but as she wrote about the difficult times an idea for a new album | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
# The stars around the constellation... | :06:22. | :06:31. | |
Aptly titled Lost And Found the songs tell the story | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
Do you feel quite vulnerable putting it out there because it is all you, | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
it is very personal, it is very raw? | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
At first it is very exciting and then I went oh. | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
All this stuff that was so personal to me is going to be out there. | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
But I also think that is probably why it has connected so well | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
because there are a lot of people who go out as well, | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
pretending to have this brave, perfect face and they can sometimes | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
be crumbling inside and hopefully they can own the songs and make | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
them their own and relate to some of the stuff. | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
So hopefully some good has come out of the dark times, you know. | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
She credits her husband, songwriter Jack McManus, | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
Home is now in South Mawsley and she says she couldn't be happier. | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
I do love driving up the A3 starting to feel the softness of Surrey | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
It has taken a long time, but how lucky am I? | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
How lucky am I that I have got a lovely family and a lovely | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
That takes us to the weather then with Lucy Martin. | :07:40. | :07:51. | |
Yesterday we were receiving photos like these, some very wet scenes, | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
but fast forward to today and it was a much drier, | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
brighter picture, with even some blue skies coming in. | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
Here's what's going on in the charts. | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
High pressure pushing in from the south-west. | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
We're seeing the back of the weather front that brought the rain | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
yesterday clearing out to the south-east. | :08:15. | :08:15. | |
It won't be long before the next weather front | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
brings outbreaks of rain, but for this afternoon it looks | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
like it will be largely dry with good spells of sunshine. | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
If we put the detail onto the map, the best of the brightness always | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
Most people staying dry but there's the chance | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
where the cloud becomes thick enough. | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
Temperatures reaching a maximum of 21-22 Celsius. | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
As we move through this evening the cloud will | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
Overnight the cloud melting away which will allow temperatures | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
to fall away to an overnight low of 10-12 Celsius. | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
There's the chance of seeing the odd patch of mist forming first thing. | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
A fairly fresh but bright start to the day tomorrow, | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
The cloud will tend to increase as the weather front moves | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
in from the North West, bringing some showery outbreaks | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
Just one or two showers to look out for on Saturday. | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
Riz will be here with all the latest on our 6:30 evening programme. | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
For now though have a lovely afternoon. | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
Being on stage or screen doesn't faze these celebrities. | :09:21. | :09:41. | |
But how will they manage on MasterChef? | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
You need a bigger toaster. Do you think? | :09:47. | :09:47. | |
It will be tasty. Are you telling me? | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
Are you letting me loose with a blowtorch? Argh! | :09:54. | :09:57. |
