That's all from the BBC News at One,
so it's goodbye from me - | 0:00:00 | 0:00:16 | |
Welcome to BBC London News.
so it's goodbye from me - | 0:00:16 | 0:00:17 | |
I'm Alex Bushill.
so it's goodbye from me - | 0:00:17 | 0:00:18 | |
The Labour MP for Kensington
and Chelsea has apologised | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
for writing a racist article
about a Tory London Assembly member. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:25 | |
In a blog post in 2010,
Emma Dent Coad labelled Shaun Bailey | 0:00:25 | 0:00:30 | |
a "token ghetto boy" -
in order to explain herself | 0:00:30 | 0:00:37 | |
she today said she was only quoting
the views of others. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
Our Political Editor
Tim Donovan has more. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:44 | |
Back in 2010, Shaun Bailey USA
Conservative London assembly member | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
now was fighting for the seat of
Hammersmith in the general election. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
Emma Dent Coad wrote a critical blog
about him and the Conservative | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
Party, effectively accusing Shaun
Bailey of being used by the party | 0:00:54 | 0:01:00 | |
and by David Cameron, the then
leader to create a positive image of | 0:01:00 | 0:01:04 | |
diversity. Now, today, she has said
that her use of words, two ghetto | 0:01:04 | 0:01:13 | |
boy, was only repeating what others
have been saying at the time, and | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
she denied it was racist. If he
feels offended by it, of course I | 0:01:17 | 0:01:22 | |
apologise. Of course I do. If
somebody actually read the blog, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
they would see that I was putting
other people's sources and what | 0:01:24 | 0:01:28 | |
people were saying at the time. She
says the unearthing of these remarks | 0:01:28 | 0:01:32 | |
from seven years ago is designed to
undermine and discredit her and | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
distract from a piece of work she
has done research on poverty and | 0:01:36 | 0:01:41 | |
social exclusion in Kensington, the
borough of the brain cell tower | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
tragedy. Shaun Bailey told me here
this morning that he was distinctly | 0:01:45 | 0:01:50 | |
unimpressed by what he described as
a half-hearted apology. -- Grenfell | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
Tower. Well, she did not really
apologise. All she did was reiterate | 0:01:53 | 0:01:58 | |
the points and try to blame other
fictitious people. But it is not | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
about me. It is about young black
people up and down the country. Many | 0:02:02 | 0:02:06 | |
community struggled to feel involved
and attacks like this at the core of | 0:02:06 | 0:02:11 | |
people's police in the political
arena prevent people from being | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
involved. It makes them afraid. The
Conservatives do not appear at this | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
stage to be wanting to let this
live. They have written to the | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn,
ordering him to discipline Emma Dent | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
Coad as soon as possible. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:27 | |
A man has been jailed
following a hit and run | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
in South London that
left a woman paralysed. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
Pascoe Petgrave, who's 21,
has been found guilty of causing | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
serious injury by dangerous driving. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:37 | |
The car he was driving
ploughed into two women | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
in Norwood High Street in May 2016. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
He's been sentenced to two
and a half years in prison. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
And also disqualified
from driving for two years. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
When Crossrail is up
and running it will carry two | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
hundred million passengers,
increase capacity and | 0:02:49 | 0:02:50 | |
reduce journey times. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:55 | |
Now ahead of some services
beginning next year, our | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
Transport Correspondent Tom Edwards
has been given special | 0:02:57 | 0:03:06 | |
access to the tunnel, and all on
foot. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:11 | |
This is a rare look at what will one
day be an everyday commute. Our | 0:03:11 | 0:03:16 | |
guide is Greg Purcell. When a Bond
Street is finished, 137,000 | 0:03:16 | 0:03:24 | |
passengers a day will use this
station and these platforms. This is | 0:03:24 | 0:03:29 | |
where the passengers will be,
eventually. Oh, right. Yes, that | 0:03:29 | 0:03:35 | |
will be the platforms and they go
the full length of the tunnel. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:40 | |
Platform is over 250 metres long.
You have the platform screen door | 0:03:40 | 0:03:44 | |
and behind that is the track. And so
we will stand here and get on the | 0:03:44 | 0:03:49 | |
train and get off. Yes, the doors
will open there. It will take one | 0:03:49 | 0:03:55 | |
minute to travel by train to the
next station. For us, it takes a | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
little longer, as we passed between
different contractors. Above us, | 0:03:59 | 0:04:06 | |
Oxford Street. Yes, Oxford Street
and the simple line of dollars, | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
which you can just hear. The tunnels
are finished but there are still | 0:04:09 | 0:04:13 | |
1400 workers on site. Soon the power
lines will go in. The Metro section | 0:04:13 | 0:04:18 | |
means you have quite a lot of
stations that are quite close | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
together, so between Bond Street is
between 801,000 metres. Before we | 0:04:20 | 0:04:27 | |
allowed onto the tracks, there are
text to make sure that engineering | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
trained on and running. We have 500
metres to go before we get into | 0:04:30 | 0:04:35 | |
Tottenham Court Road. These are the
platforms at Tottenham Court Road. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:41 | |
What is striking here is just how
long these platforms are. When it is | 0:04:41 | 0:04:46 | |
finished, 24 trains per hour will
come through here. The walk took | 0:04:46 | 0:04:51 | |
about an hour. It will take one
minutes by train. Services are due | 0:04:51 | 0:04:57 | |
to start running through central
London at the end of next year. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:02 | |
Rush-hour never looked so empty, did
it? | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
All this week we're looking
at charities from London | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
and the home counties,
benefiting from Children | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
in Need donations. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:10 | |
Today, we look at the work
of 'Bump to Babe' - | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
a parenting project in Southwark. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:14 | |
They're approach is simple -
they provide trained volunteers | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
to help any parent who's
finding it hard to cope. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
Here's Sharon's story. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
Would you like to eat something
else? Eliot surprised us. He came | 0:05:21 | 0:05:28 | |
out a month early, so we weren't at
all ready for that. And then it just | 0:05:28 | 0:05:33 | |
kind of snowballed. It was
overwhelming. Every day was a new | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
diagnosis. Every day was something
else that they were saying he would | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
never do. I am Sharon and I am
Eliot's mum. I wasn't coping at all. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:49 | |
There is so much more that you have
to take into account. You have to be | 0:05:49 | 0:05:53 | |
a physiotherapist and speech
therapist as well as being a mum and | 0:05:53 | 0:05:57 | |
doing mum things. And you lose you.
Get your teeth into it. I have | 0:05:57 | 0:06:03 | |
visitor told me about the charity
when Eliot was about four or five | 0:06:03 | 0:06:09 | |
months old. I didn't like to think
of myself as that kind of person, | 0:06:09 | 0:06:14 | |
admitting you are failing at
motherhood. I have been volunteering | 0:06:14 | 0:06:21 | |
since 2009. I first met them about
nine months ago. At the time, Eliot | 0:06:21 | 0:06:26 | |
had just had an operation on his
fingers. Generally, people were here | 0:06:26 | 0:06:31 | |
trying to make him reach different
milestones. And so I came in and I | 0:06:31 | 0:06:35 | |
thought I wouldn't come in asking to
see him do things. What I think I do | 0:06:35 | 0:06:44 | |
is just have fun with him. I just be
playful with him. Eliot adorers | 0:06:44 | 0:06:51 | |
coral. Absolutely. They have got a
weird bond. It is very sweet. I | 0:06:51 | 0:06:58 | |
can't explain what he makes me feel,
how I feel, he's just grown. Grown | 0:06:58 | 0:07:06 | |
and I love him. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
So that is just one example of where
your Children In Need money goes. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:13 | |
Remember, you can join us
on the big night this | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
Friday, November the 17th. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
Pudsey will be there
too, of course, | 0:07:17 | 0:07:18 | |
at Warner Brothers Studio
tours in Hertfordshire, | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
along with some very special guests. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:21 | |
To be there too, just tell us
what you're doing to raise money. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:28 | |
Now let's check on the Weather
with Kate Kinsella. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:34 | |
A quick clarification on top story.
We should have said that the article | 0:07:34 | 0:07:41 | |
written by Emma Dent Coad has been
accused of being racist. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:46 | |

It has been a cloudy day. We have
seen some glimmers of sunshine, but | 0:07:49 | 0:07:54 | |
on the whole it has been rather grey
and we will hang on to this cloud as | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
we head further through this
afternoon. It is feeling a little | 0:07:57 | 0:08:02 | |
less cold compared to yesterday. The
wind has switched round and is | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
coming from the south-west. It is
not very strong. It is a light wind. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:11 | |
Slightly less cold air. Not quite so
chilly. Still rather grey and a | 0:08:11 | 0:08:17 | |
maximum temperature of 10 Celsius.
Conditions don't change overnight. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:22 | |
Hanging onto that cloud and also
some rain. We could also see some | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
mist and fog developing. Tricky
driving conditions tomorrow. The | 0:08:25 | 0:08:29 | |
temperature does not change from
today's maximum. Nine Celsius the | 0:08:29 | 0:08:34 | |
maximum. A murky start tomorrow and
the to take its time to lift. The | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
cloud should lift a little higher
through the afternoon, leading to | 0:08:38 | 0:08:42 | |
some brighter spells and it stays
mild tomorrow as well. A maximum of | 0:08:42 | 0:08:47 | |
13 Celsius. Similar day tomorrow as
we head into Thursday. Stay | 0:08:47 | 0:08:51 | |
reasonably mild. Not until Thursday
night that this cold front makes its | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
way south. Not too much rain, but
once it clears as we head into | 0:08:55 | 0:09:00 | |
Friday it does introduce fresh air
so does get a little bit colder. It | 0:09:00 | 0:09:05 | |
will certainly feel a bit fresher
for the end of the week, but it | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
means we will seek more sunshine. A
chilly night Friday into Saturday | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
with frost first thing for the
weekend. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
That's about it from me. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:15 | |
Riz will be here with our
6:30 evening programme. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
But for now, from us all,
a very good afternoon. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:27 |
