I am Alex Bushill. so it's goodbye from me.

:00:00.:00:17.

A 16-year-old has been sentenced to three years in jail.

:00:18.:00:23.

The court heard he threw a single "superman" punch

:00:24.:00:26.

which knocked 40-year-old Arek Jozwitz to the ground

:00:27.:00:28.

The victim's family are said to be disappointed with the sentence.

:00:29.:00:31.

Alex Dunlop sent this report from outside Chelmsford Crown Court.

:00:32.:00:35.

The 16-year-old stood impassively in the dock as the judge told him

:00:36.:00:38.

that whatever sentence she handed down could not make up

:00:39.:00:48.

for the massive loss the family of Arek Jozwitz had suffered.

:00:49.:00:51.

When she sentenced the boy to three years in detention for manslaughter,

:00:52.:00:53.

his family shouted and cried out to him, he gave them a short wave

:00:54.:00:57.

Arek Jozwitz, who was 40, was a factory worker.

:00:58.:01:09.

He went to a shopping centre in Harlow late one Saturday

:01:10.:01:11.

night in August last year with a Polish friend.

:01:12.:01:16.

They were eating at a pizza in the precinct when they became

:01:17.:01:24.

embroiled in an argument with a group of teenager boys.

:01:25.:01:30.

A 15-year-old went up behind him and delivered what the court heard

:01:31.:01:33.

was a superman punch to the back of his head.

:01:34.:01:35.

He fell over, never regained consciousness

:01:36.:01:37.

Now this happened two months after the vote on Brexit

:01:38.:01:41.

and was seen at the time as a possible race-hate crime.

:01:42.:01:43.

Hundreds of Polish people in Harlow came out and held vigils.

:01:44.:01:46.

The Polish ambassador visited the town, followed a few days

:01:47.:01:48.

The issue was even raised in the European Parliament

:01:49.:01:51.

However, the evidence did not support that

:01:52.:01:54.

assertion and the teenager was convicted of manslaughter.

:01:55.:01:59.

Arek Jozwitz's mother and brother left the court without commenting

:02:00.:02:01.

but she did say that this was such a cruel death of my child,

:02:02.:02:05.

A man has been sentenced to 14 years in jail for killing a celebrity

:02:06.:02:11.

27-year-old Ricky Hayden was set on outside his home after seeing

:02:12.:02:16.

two youths he thought were about to steal a scooter.

:02:17.:02:20.

He was attacked with a machete by 20-year-old Tommy Roome,

:02:21.:02:23.

who was cleared of murder but convicted of manslaughter.

:02:24.:02:35.

Mr Hayden's family clapped as the sentence was handed down.

:02:36.:02:39.

It is a national first - driverless buses on the streets of London.

:02:40.:02:42.

And for the next fortnight, Londoners will be able

:02:43.:02:44.

to take a ride around the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

:02:45.:02:46.

Using sensors, cameras, and GPS mapping - they are powered

:02:47.:02:49.

Our transport correspondent, Tom Edwards reports.

:02:50.:02:51.

This is an autonomous bus driven by computer, on trial on a 12-minute

:02:52.:02:59.

loop around the Olympic Park. Travelling at twomph, there is a

:03:00.:03:03.

staff member on board. We found two students to join us. I think they're

:03:04.:03:08.

fantastic. You can see now we are moving incredibly smoothly. At a

:03:09.:03:12.

decent pace, it's very safe. The technology is there, it's brilliant.

:03:13.:03:17.

You think computers are better drivers generally than human beings?

:03:18.:03:20.

From this ten-minute trip, probably, I would say. London is seeing a

:03:21.:03:24.

number of trials of driverless vehicles. This is the one in

:03:25.:03:30.

Greenwich. The Government is trying to make it easier to attract

:03:31.:03:33.

investment in autonomous vehicles. It's all part of a revolution that's

:03:34.:03:37.

going to change the lives of people across the world. We are going to

:03:38.:03:41.

see vehicles that can provide better transport options for people with

:03:42.:03:46.

disabilities, provide better public transport links at odd times of the

:03:47.:03:49.

day when a vehicle like this can fill a link that wouldn't otherwise

:03:50.:03:53.

be there. We are on the brink and starting a transport revolution.

:03:54.:03:59.

How safe is this technology? It uses cameras and lasers to scan the road,

:04:00.:04:03.

but what if someone walks in front of it? As you can see, it stops.

:04:04.:04:10.

Some think autonomous vehicles will reduce insurance and congestion.

:04:11.:04:14.

Others fear it will mean fewer jobs for drivers. These have already been

:04:15.:04:19.

tested in other cities. Is it safe? Of course it is, it needs to be

:04:20.:04:23.

developed over time and that's why trials like this are really

:04:24.:04:26.

important. We will be trialing this alongside pedestrians in a busy

:04:27.:04:29.

environment. We have had other smaller-scale trials and we are

:04:30.:04:32.

using that data to constantly improve. These are still early days

:04:33.:04:36.

in this emerging industry. This bus, which is free to catch, will be

:04:37.:04:44.

running until the end of the month. Now that's a brave correspondent for

:04:45.:04:51.

you! It's launched a campaign to crack

:04:52.:04:55.

down on incidents like this one in basil done. One of the 17,000

:04:56.:04:59.

clearups recorded by the council last year.

:05:00.:05:05.

For the first time, Transport for London has been able to track

:05:06.:05:08.

the movements of people using the tube -

:05:09.:05:10.

by collecting their wi-fi data. The anonymous data was harnessed

:05:11.:05:12.

during a four-week trial at the end of last year.

:05:13.:05:15.

TfL says that no personal information was collected,

:05:16.:05:17.

and hopes that it will help provide better information

:05:18.:05:19.

An all-female pro-wrestling outfit in East London says it's seen

:05:20.:05:24.

Promoters say it's after it was the theme

:05:25.:05:27.

Mohamed Madi has been to Bethnal Green to spend time

:05:28.:05:33.

with some real-life wrestlers, to hear their stories behind

:05:34.:05:35.

You are the wrestler that the fans have come to see.

:05:36.:05:50.

It's a feminist punk all-female pro-wrestling promotion.

:05:51.:06:04.

The first response would always be mud, oil, jelly and that really sums

:06:05.:06:09.

up what those misconceptions were and after Netflix made

:06:10.:06:13.

the series Glow it made them stop and maybe listen to us for a moment.

:06:14.:06:18.

For me, wrestlers are like superheroes.

:06:19.:06:22.

They're like Ironman and Wonder Woman.

:06:23.:06:24.

They're there to watch you perform and let you entertain them.

:06:25.:06:31.

I wrestle for pro-wrestling as a heel.

:06:32.:06:33.

A heel is someone that the fans love to hate.

:06:34.:06:37.

You surrender yourself to the devil on your shoulder.

:06:38.:06:41.

Going out there as a heel, it's just as satisfying to hear

:06:42.:06:48.

people chanting horrible stuff at you and booing you.

:06:49.:06:50.

It's like a buzz that you can't describe.

:06:51.:06:52.

And it means that you can pick up on things that you might not

:06:53.:06:58.

say to people normally because they're too personal.

:06:59.:07:05.

Fight like a girl is a strength, fight like a girl isn't weak.

:07:06.:07:09.

It's something that what you're fighting through to prove

:07:10.:07:13.

against everyone that women can wrestle as good as men,

:07:14.:07:20.

to fighting against anxiety, depression, eating

:07:21.:07:21.

fighting like a girl is fighting through that and succeeding.

:07:22.:07:30.

People who wrestle are such amazing individuals because everyone's

:07:31.:07:33.

got their own quirks, you have big characters.

:07:34.:07:35.

But at the same time everyone's humble enough to not take

:07:36.:07:38.

At the end of the day, we put spandex on and fight each

:07:39.:07:42.

other at weekends, so we can't take ourselves too seriously.

:07:43.:07:50.

Looks like to me they're taking them receives seriously, fabulous stuff.

:07:51.:07:55.

Let's check with the weekend weather.

:07:56.:07:59.

It looks like someone switched on the autumn nal switch. Today we have

:08:00.:08:04.

seen rain, a lot of cloud and some of that cloud fairly thick. It's

:08:05.:08:07.

just been a rather grey day all in all. We will continue this afternoon

:08:08.:08:09.

with further heavy showers. Heavy outbreaks of rain, all in all,

:08:10.:08:20.

it's a wet end to the week. A strengthening breeze pushing those

:08:21.:08:23.

showers, don't be too surprised if you hear thunder mixed in there, as

:08:24.:08:28.

well. The maximum temperature today struggles a little, 17 so feeling

:08:29.:08:31.

cool. The showers this evening will gradually start to become fewer and

:08:32.:08:34.

further between. They'll clear out of the way. The wind will fall light

:08:35.:08:39.

and the sky will clear. Temperatures on the whole dropping down to ten,

:08:40.:08:43.

11 in towns. Towards the countryside, perhaps cooler. Looks

:08:44.:08:46.

like a promising start to the weekend for Saturday. Short-lived I

:08:47.:08:51.

am afraid. Sunshine and brightness first thing in the morning but

:08:52.:08:53.

gradually through tomorrow afternoon that wind again will start to

:08:54.:08:57.

strengthen, blowing through some quite heavy showers for Saturday

:08:58.:09:00.

afternoon. Again don't be surprised if you hear thunder. The maximum

:09:01.:09:06.

temperature up to around 19. Sunday, it's a similar start, dry

:09:07.:09:09.

and bright but then heavy showers in the afternoon and it's going to be

:09:10.:09:14.

blustery as well. In short, the weather for the next few days is

:09:15.:09:21.

turning autumnal. That's it from me. Much more on all

:09:22.:09:26.

our stories on our website at the usual address. Bye, have a great

:09:27.:09:27.

weekend. Experience the power

:09:28.:09:46.

of the BBC Proms. Get in the party spirit

:09:47.:09:56.

and join us for the Last Night. I want a divorce. Talk to my lawyer.

:09:57.:10:05.

I'm keeping the CDs. In your dreams. I think I love you. I love you too.

:10:06.:10:09.

Let's move in together.
