:00:00. > :00:15.Good afternoon, I'm Asad Ahmad. Asia.

:00:16. > :00:17.The Prime Minister has been warned by the London Fire Brigade,

:00:18. > :00:20.that more people will die from fires started by faulty white goods

:00:21. > :00:23.like tumble driers and fridges - if ministers don't act and introduce

:00:24. > :00:30.The Grenfell Tower fire in June is believed to have started

:00:31. > :00:35.And a year ago, a fire at a tower block in Shephard's Bush

:00:36. > :00:42.I'm joined now by Thomas Jervis, a lawyer representing people

:00:43. > :00:56.affected by the fire around a year-a-go to the day.

:00:57. > :01:01.You are familiar with the issues surrounding white goods come could

:01:02. > :01:05.do know that isn't being done? The government needs to listen to

:01:06. > :01:08.messages coming from all quarters, London Fire Brigade, we need a

:01:09. > :01:13.complete shake-up of the product recall system, we are talking about

:01:14. > :01:17.the risk of fire equalling a potential risk of death, this is an

:01:18. > :01:22.important issue for consumers and needs action now. But fire last year

:01:23. > :01:25.affected many people, let's hear from a resident affected by the fire

:01:26. > :01:34.last year in Shepherd's Bush. I live on the floor for the fire escapes to

:01:35. > :01:38.and couldn't get home for three and a half months, I work in the blog

:01:39. > :01:43.next or to four I live and saw the fire on hold at yes, I was pretty

:01:44. > :01:47.traumatised. Cannot believe it was a year on these machines have not been

:01:48. > :01:51.recalled, nothing legally has been done, to prevent this kind of thing

:01:52. > :01:55.happening again. People are dying, in these fires and we are really

:01:56. > :02:00.lucky it wasn't one of us. She says she can't believe nothing has been

:02:01. > :02:04.done, London Fire Brigade said they put out a fight good fire once every

:02:05. > :02:09.day, I do you think nothing is changing? It's the same old, you

:02:10. > :02:14.have manufacturers who are putting these products onto the market in

:02:15. > :02:18.the first place and it's all about the business they have carte blanche

:02:19. > :02:27.to effectively continue operating in this way. I'm astounded that you

:02:28. > :02:31.have institutions like a switch, the London Fire Brigade, consumer rights

:02:32. > :02:37.activists like Lynne Falls Road, singing from the same hymn sheet,

:02:38. > :02:41.saying there needs to be an overhaul of the system yet we have government

:02:42. > :02:45.protect the interests of big business. That's what you believe.

:02:46. > :02:49.What happens if you have a machine and the manufacturer gets in touch

:02:50. > :02:52.because perhaps they have safety issues like Whirlpool did, they said

:02:53. > :02:56.last year at the Shepherd's Bush fire, don't leave your dryer

:02:57. > :03:03.unattended. Legally, are you right to use it or should you start using

:03:04. > :03:06.it? Consumers are left in an impossible situation, they have

:03:07. > :03:08.bought a product in their homes and they are getting conflicting

:03:09. > :03:14.messages, you have London Fire Brigade saying don't use it, stop,

:03:15. > :03:20.unplug it, Whirlpool for a certain amount of time were saying for

:03:21. > :03:25.consumers to continue using it. What are consumers supposed to do? I

:03:26. > :03:28.think those who put the products on the market in the first place need

:03:29. > :03:34.to lead from the front and it's their responsibility to give a clear

:03:35. > :03:37.message to consumers so... More needs to be done. And I am sure we

:03:38. > :03:38.will hear more about it. Thank you for your time.

:03:39. > :03:41.Transport for London says it'll investigate footage which BBC London

:03:42. > :03:43.has brought to their attention, of a bus appearing to move

:03:44. > :03:56.It was all caught on the dashcam which our

:03:57. > :04:00.Transport Correspondent, Tom Edwards has been watching.

:04:01. > :04:06.Marla Boehm Road early on Sunday morning, it this is the footage from

:04:07. > :04:11.a dashboard camera, you can hear him talking to his passenger, a bus

:04:12. > :04:15.man's curve and all side onto the road, no driver at the wheel. Then

:04:16. > :04:19.from the side driver jumps behind the steering wheel and stopped the

:04:20. > :04:26.bus. He then reverses at off the road and waves at the cab. He wasn't

:04:27. > :04:29.in the driving seat. The whole incident in total last five seconds,

:04:30. > :04:34.it looks like there is one other passenger on board and the driver

:04:35. > :04:39.stopped the bus just before it hit the central reservation. Buses and

:04:40. > :04:42.bus driving had been under the spotlight recently after a number of

:04:43. > :04:49.incidents. This was a crash on Lavender Hill in Battersea. A London

:04:50. > :04:53.assembly report found high levels of stress and long shifts amongst

:04:54. > :04:58.drivers and London's bus safety record does not compare well to

:04:59. > :05:03.other world cities. It's not clear yet why this incident involving the

:05:04. > :05:08.453 bus happened, Transport for London have asked the bus operator

:05:09. > :05:13.go-ahead to urgently investigate, no one was hurt in the incident and

:05:14. > :05:16.this will again focus attention on the safety of London's buses. Tom

:05:17. > :05:20.Edwards, BBC London news. So Big Ben has Bonged

:05:21. > :05:22.for the last time this decade. It happened at midday -

:05:23. > :05:25.and now it'll be silent It could be 2021 before

:05:26. > :05:33.we here it again - It could be 2021 before

:05:34. > :05:36.we hear it again - and listening to it earlier

:05:37. > :05:38.was Emma Vardy who joins It'll certainly be quieter there -

:05:39. > :05:49.at least for a few years. It is, such an iconic landmark, the

:05:50. > :05:52.sound of the bonds such a familiar part of life here in Westminster,

:05:53. > :05:56.hundreds of people gathered here in Parliament Square at noon to mark

:05:57. > :06:04.the moment, there was a round of applause when the final bong rang

:06:05. > :06:07.out at noon today. In this news was announced last week it caused

:06:08. > :06:12.considerable shock amongst MPs because this work, renovation work

:06:13. > :06:17.had been signed off by three Parliamentary committees and yet MPs

:06:18. > :06:21.said they weren't actually told the real indications, the fact it would

:06:22. > :06:25.mean disconnecting the Bell for four years, except for special occasions.

:06:26. > :06:29.Head of a question over this now because of the MPs concerns,

:06:30. > :06:32.Parliamentary officials have said they will go back and review the

:06:33. > :06:37.length of time the bells will need to be silent on the Prime Minister

:06:38. > :06:40.Theresa May, she has asked the House of Commons Speaker whether there is

:06:41. > :06:46.any way during this period of renovation work that the bells can

:06:47. > :06:49.continue to be heard. There were a cute MPs down here on Parliament

:06:50. > :06:54.Square to hear the chimes ringing out at noon, they said to me MPs

:06:55. > :06:58.feel they want to have a bit of a say on this, I expect when house

:06:59. > :07:02.returns in September we will see some questions tabled, they beat we

:07:03. > :07:06.will see some debate in the chamber about this. Whether that pressure

:07:07. > :07:10.from politicians will make a difference to the engineering plans

:07:11. > :07:14.we will have to wait and see but for now, the bells you heard at noon at

:07:15. > :07:17.the last ones for a file. They will be sadly missed, Emma, thank you.

:07:18. > :07:22.It's not the name of a new film - it is actually what it says it is.

:07:23. > :07:25.A chance to go to the cinema with your dog - and some popcorn -

:07:26. > :07:32.PictureHouse Central in Piccadilly has started welcoming

:07:33. > :07:35.canines and their owners and they say its going quite well.

:07:36. > :07:41.They've even got the issue of dog hairs sorted.

:07:42. > :07:47.We all sat down at a marketing meeting and decided this was a fun

:07:48. > :07:53.idea, London is open to dogs, why not ring your dog to the cinema? We

:07:54. > :07:56.want the dogs to sit next to their owners, I put out blankets so they

:07:57. > :08:00.can sit on the seat, we take them away so there is no fluff. If you

:08:01. > :08:02.are a dog owner and you have thoughts about what don't you would

:08:03. > :08:16.like to see, get in touch with us. Good afternoon. A cloudy, day and

:08:17. > :08:22.cramped day, even the most summary flowers can make it feel like the

:08:23. > :08:26.particular time of year. Moving through this afternoon a fair amount

:08:27. > :08:30.of cloud, some outbreaks of light rain and drizzle for cloud as they

:08:31. > :08:33.can up, less in the way of low cloud are seeing more brightness,

:08:54. > :08:57.Starting the day fairly murky, plenty of cloud around, some patches

:08:58. > :09:01.of mist and fog first thing. They will lift quite quickly, we start to

:09:02. > :09:04.see brightness developing as we move into the afternoon, club thinning

:09:05. > :09:08.and breaking to allow for sunny spells, the risk of an odd isolated

:09:09. > :09:13.shower, more in the way of brightness, temperatures a touch

:09:14. > :09:19.warmer, highs of 24-25d. A cold front moving into Wednesday, we see

:09:20. > :09:20.something fresher as we move through the week, Mr Sunny spells and

:09:21. > :09:20.showers. I'll be back at the

:09:21. > :09:23.same time tomorrow. Victoria Hollins will be
