:00:23. > :00:27.It follows a decision in April by the Mayor
:00:28. > :00:29.to withdraw support for the project, after a damning report concluded
:00:30. > :00:32.it was better value to write off the money already spent
:00:33. > :00:38.Almost ?50 million of tax payer money has already been spent
:00:39. > :00:44.Here's our Transport Correspondent Tom Edwards.
:00:45. > :00:47.This was where the Garden Bridge was due to be built.
:00:48. > :00:50.Stretching from the Temple tube station right across
:00:51. > :00:55.But today the Garden Bridge Trust announced that it was
:00:56. > :01:03.And they were very clear, they blame the mayor,
:01:04. > :01:05.they said they were not getting enough support from him.
:01:06. > :01:10.And also not enough financial guarantees going forward.
:01:11. > :01:13.That will mean that taxpayers will have to pay
:01:14. > :01:19.in the end ?46.4 million, that will be completely lost.
:01:20. > :01:22.Campaigners are happy, they've always said it was going to be
:01:23. > :01:29.It is a treasured view of London, a protected view of London
:01:30. > :01:31.from Waterloo Bridge and other parts of the river.
:01:32. > :01:34.We are very glad we have got it preserved now.
:01:35. > :01:37.We hope another project does not come along to try and ruin
:01:38. > :01:51.Not a shovel in the ground, all this money going
:01:52. > :01:56.We need an itemised breakdown of the costs.
:01:57. > :01:59.This project was supported by the then mayor Boris Johnson and
:02:00. > :02:01.the then Chancellor George Osborne, both committed public money to it.
:02:02. > :02:04.And the current mayor Sadiq Khan initially also supported the project
:02:05. > :02:09.The Garden Bridge Trust say that cost an extra ?9 million.
:02:10. > :02:13.In a statement today the mayor says there were systemic failings
:02:14. > :02:15.in the procurement process and that he could not permit
:02:16. > :02:20.a single penny more of London taxpayers money being spent on it.
:02:21. > :02:23.He also says Londoners like me will be very angry that taxpayers
:02:24. > :02:26.have now lost tens of millions of pounds committed
:02:27. > :02:32.There are bound to be further questions and further scrutiny
:02:33. > :02:42.A woman who's convinced her breast implants made her seriously ill,
:02:43. > :02:45.is warning others to be aware of the potential risks.
:02:46. > :02:49.Kathy Richmond, from Reading, says she had no idea her implants
:02:50. > :02:52.could cause skin allergies, asthma and extreme tiredness.
:02:53. > :02:56.But she's made a remarkable recovery since having them removed.
:02:57. > :02:58.She's now trying to raise awareness of so-called
:02:59. > :02:59.Breast Implant Illness, which is still not
:03:00. > :03:12.When she had them put in in 2007, Cathy Richmond was delighted
:03:13. > :03:16.But within a few years her childhood asthma have returned,
:03:17. > :03:19.she developed awful skin allergies, infections and fatigue.
:03:20. > :03:22.Her illnesses got progressively worse.
:03:23. > :03:24.It was really a scary time in my life especially
:03:25. > :03:27.when your whole system is almost like failing.
:03:28. > :03:33.And you have just got all these terrible symptoms,
:03:34. > :03:38.can't even get out of bed to look after your children.
:03:39. > :03:40.When a reflexologist suggested she might have breast implant
:03:41. > :03:42.illness she quickly decided to have them removed.
:03:43. > :03:44.When I look at them now I cannot believe that
:03:45. > :03:50.I thought it was safe to put them in, really.
:03:51. > :03:52.I did not really need to do this to myself.
:03:53. > :03:58.The speculation is that implants or perhaps the scar tissue
:03:59. > :04:01.that the body builds around them upsets the immune
:04:02. > :04:05.But as yet there is no research to prove it.
:04:06. > :04:11.Breast implant illness which is the phrase often used to be
:04:12. > :04:13.is not something recognised in medical literature
:04:14. > :04:17.but anecdotally as plastic surgeons we hear about a small proportion
:04:18. > :04:25.of women who have a range of symptoms
:04:26. > :04:27.that they attribute to their breast implants.
:04:28. > :04:29.So we are constantly striving to improve or are constantly
:04:30. > :04:35.striving to improve all our outcomes for patients and will continue
:04:36. > :04:38.testing any implants that are taken out in women who experienced
:04:39. > :04:42.Cathy's whole family have benefited from a recovery as her four children
:04:43. > :04:44.finally have a fully functioning mum again.
:04:45. > :04:47.Cathy has now began raising money for other sick implant patients

:04:50. > :04:51.A fire engulfed a double decker bus in north London.
:04:52. > :04:55.The blaze broke out on a 113 bus on Finchley Road in West Hampstead
:04:56. > :04:56.just before half past seven last night.
:04:57. > :04:59.Passers-by reported a bang followed by thick black smoke.
:05:00. > :05:02.Transport for London is investigating what caused it.
:05:03. > :05:04.Detectives investigating the murder of a schoolboy in south London
:05:05. > :05:08.are trying to discover if there's a link between an
:05:09. > :05:09.earlier incident involving a group
:05:10. > :05:12.15-year-old Jermaine Goupall was stabbed to death
:05:13. > :05:17.Two people have been charged with his murder.
:05:18. > :05:20.Police say a group of teenagers - wearing balaclavas
:05:21. > :05:22.and armed with sticks - had been at the same
:05:23. > :05:32.Ancient carvings on Southwark Cathedral are being replaced
:05:33. > :05:34.by students teachers at an art college in South London.
:05:35. > :05:37.Much of the intricate detail on parts of the building dated back
:05:38. > :05:39.to the early 19th century, and over time has
:05:40. > :05:43.The Cathedral was recently given a grant of half
:05:44. > :05:45.a million pounds for repairs, and it wanted to give people
:05:46. > :05:48.learning the trade at City and Guilds Arts School this 'one off
:05:49. > :05:50.opportunity' to put their skills into practice.
:05:51. > :05:59.Tarah Welsh has been checking out their work.
:06:00. > :06:06.It is an art form going back centuries and these are the next
:06:07. > :06:12.generation of stone carvers. They're working on these carved bosses that
:06:13. > :06:16.will go on the exterior of Southwark Cathedral, part of a wider
:06:17. > :06:22.restoration project. The old ones are deteriorating and everyone
:06:23. > :06:27.working on this all students. What we wanted to do was involve city and
:06:28. > :06:31.Guilds who are based in South London so not far from Southwark Cathedral
:06:32. > :06:37.because really it is important that we train craftworkers in these
:06:38. > :06:41.skills such as stone masonry so that for future generations we can
:06:42. > :06:49.continue to do the important work of restoration but also new building.
:06:50. > :06:52.And this work, I was talking to these guys and girls this morning
:06:53. > :06:57.and they are really excited to be doing this alongside the building
:06:58. > :07:00.just as the medieval builders would have done. They're not off summer in
:07:01. > :07:05.a factory producing this with machines. They're using their
:07:06. > :07:11.individual skills to do it. And so it is bringing that medieval world
:07:12. > :07:16.into the modern world. So this is how the stones start life, just a
:07:17. > :07:22.big rectangular block. And they end up looking like this. But it takes
:07:23. > :07:25.about a week to do each one and there are 44 blocks. So the stone
:07:26. > :07:28.carvers will be year for some time to come yet.
:07:29. > :07:31.Now let's check on the Weather with Lucy Martin.
:07:32. > :07:41.I got excited at the weekend that summer had returned.
:07:42. > :07:45.Is it here to stay? It does not look like it, unfortunately. We had some
:07:46. > :07:50.settled weather through the weekend but we are likely to return to
:07:51. > :07:55.something a bit more changeable. But today we started with some sunshine
:07:56. > :08:00.and blue skies. But it has been a bit hazy thanks to some high-level
:08:01. > :08:06.cloud. But this afternoon we're going to see more cloud builder
:08:07. > :08:10.West. Looking at the visible satellite and radar, you can see
:08:11. > :08:14.that cloud rushing across. Moving through this afternoon we start to
:08:15. > :08:18.see that pushing from the West so an increasingly cloudy picture and the
:08:19. > :08:22.range is creeping in as well to the far north and west. But temperatures
:08:23. > :08:27.not doing too badly. Through this evening and overnight we have some
:08:28. > :08:32.showers of rain, some of those quite happy as they make their way towards
:08:33. > :08:36.the east. But temperatures holding up in the mid teens. Most of the
:08:37. > :08:41.ring will have cleared by the time we get to tomorrow morning. Tomorrow
:08:42. > :08:44.looks like they're sunny spells and showers. Plenty of brightness around
:08:45. > :08:48.and not everyone will see a shower but if you catch one they could be
:08:49. > :08:53.quite heavy especially through the late morning and early afternoon.
:08:54. > :09:00.The best of the brightness later in the day. Temperatures at 25 degrees
:09:01. > :09:05.maximum. A little above average for the time of year. So feeling warm in
:09:06. > :09:09.the sunshine and as we move into Wednesday, another largely bright
:09:10. > :09:13.day with plenty of sunshine. A little bit hazy at times. Cloud
:09:14. > :09:20.increasing through the day from the West. But quite changeable with rain
:09:21. > :09:21.overnight into Thursday and Thursday is the day of sunny spells and
:09:22. > :09:22.showers. Riz Lateef will be here
:09:23. > :09:25.with our 6:30 evening programme. But for now, from us all,
:09:26. > :09:30.a very good afternoon.
