14/02/2018 London News

That's all from the BBC News at One

- so it's goodbye from me -

Good afternoon, I'm Asad Ahmad.

A man has died after two vehicles

crashed on the runway at Heathrow.

Another man has been treated

for what was described

as "non-life-threatening" injuries.

A number of flights

have been cancelled,

but the airfield remains open.

For the latest, let's speak

to Chris Rogers who's there.

Chris.

The details have only just emerged

in the West are also. What we know

from the London Ambulance Service

and the Metropolitan Police is just

after six o'clock this morning, they

were called to the taxiway near

Terminal 5 weather had been a

collision between two airport cars.

One man, a driver, suffered a broken

soldier and was token the hospital

-- broken shoulder. Another man

suffered a cardiac arrest.

Paramedics battled for two hours to

save his life and that continued in

the ambulance but he was pronounced

dead on arrival at the hospital. All

of this witnessed by hundreds of

stranded passengers who had boarded

planes but could not take off. Many

taking social media to explain what

they could see. Bluelight,

ambulances and are medics battling

to save the man's life. Most

passengers, around 25 flights, were

affected and they had to head back

into Terminal 5. Incidents like this

rare. The Metropolitan Police

Commissioner -- collision unit is

investigating and flights are

returning to normal. Sadly, a lot of

colleagues of that man here at work

today are trying to cope with the

loss of their colleague who just

came to work today like any other

day.

Indeed. Thanks very much.

The National Childbirth Trust has

found a quarter of new and expectant

mums who reported mental health

problems didn't get any help,

leading to calls for urgent

action to be taken.

The findings focussed

on an area in Surrey,

where Amanda Akass has been speaking

to a mother, who considered

taking her own life.

Lisa adored her baby son Dylan

when he was born three years ago,

but after the first few months,

she became crippled by anxiety

and believed she wasn't given

the medication she needed.

I was so anxious and so low

that the only way that I felt that

I couldn't be in that pain any more

was to not be here.

I wasn't planning a suicide,

but it felt like it could get

to that point if I wasn't helped.

Emma also feels missed opportunities

led to her developing

postpartum psychosis.

I was getting more

and more paranoid.

I was...

I was thinking that everyone

was talking about me.

Emma says she was told she'd have

to wait five months for counselling.

When you are really in need

and have to ask for help

and you're not getting

it, it is awful.

At least one in ten women

will experience a mental health

problem during pregnancy

or their baby's first year.

But the East Surrey survey found

more than a quarter of new mums

who told NHS staff they had mental

health problems didn't get any help.

And only 38% said they were asked

about their mental health

by their GPs, despite NHS guidelines

telling family doctors to do so.

The survey was set up by local

campaigner Sally Hogg.

We know that the biggest cause

of death for women in the latter

part of the year after having

a baby is suicide.

Mental health is a killer of women

in the UK, that is how

seriously it needs to be taken.

Local MP Sam Gyimah has now set up

a working group of different NHS

organisations to try

and tackle the issue.

There are lots of mothers

suffering in silence.

Suffering in silence because some

of them don't even know it's

a mental health problem.

They have just had their baby,

they don't know why they don't

love their baby, why

they are having panic attacks.

And these are harrowing tales.

East Surrey Hospitals Trust say

that since the report

was published last May,

there is now much more

support available.

A teacher from North London has been

named as one of the top-ten

teachers in the world.

Andria Zafirakou, who teaches Art

at the Alperton Community School

in Wembley, could win a million

dollars and competed

against thousands of hopefuls

from over 150 countries to make it

to the top ten.

She says many children in Brent have

to study while living in overcrowded

and difficult conditions,

but teachers are doing

their best to help.

I feel it's so important to ensure

that when students come

to the school, and their families,

that they feel comfortable

and they feel welcomed.

And when you have a community...

I mean, we have got 35 different

languages in our school.

It is beautifully diverse.

And they are able to feel connected

and they are able to feel

that they want to be there.

It's a very safe place for them.

At the end of the day, it is all

about our children, and every school

teacher will say that. We don't

worry about what is happening, it is

what is happening in the classroom,

how we can support our kids.

Teachers know what is best for their

students and at the end of the day,

it doesn't matter. Policies come and

go and our role is just to make sure

that every child has a great

experience.

that every child has

a great experience.

Good luck to Ms Zafirakou.

The winner will be

announced next month.

A new exhibition has

opened at the Fashion

and Textile Museum, in Bermondsey,

and it's all about T-shirts.

The exhibition charts

the history and creativity

of the T-shirt over the years,

which often tell us

something about the wearer too.

Here's Ayshea Buksh.

Often just a simple piece

of clothing, the T-shirt can also be

a canvas for high art

or radical politics.

This new exhibition at the Fashion

and Textile Museum, in Bermondsey,

charts its history.

And as one of the world's

street-fashion capitals,

the curator believes London

is the best place to show them off.

London is a creative city,

and many of the T-shirts

that we actually have on display

originated in London.

And I think the London scene -

in terms of graphics,

music, fashion design -

have all had their impact

on the T-shirt, and I think

that's represented here.

More than 200 T-shirts

are on display.

Some are from the personal

collections of fashion designers

Vivienne Westwood and Katharine

Hamnett.

Others were donated by collectors

from around the world.

American artist and photographer

Susan Barnett has spent nine years

documenting the T-shirt-wearing

public on both sides

of the Atlantic.

She started her study shortly

after Barack Obama was elected.

Over the years, the message

has changed, and it's

become a lot darker.

There's more anger.

There's more anger at

the Government, anger at each other.

Messages of hate, sadly.

And one of the things that

interests me is to see what happens.

These are time capsules.

So whether you want to show

support for social activism

or your favourite band,

wear your T-shirt with pride.

It may well be a collector's

item in the future.

And that was our correspondent

modelling at the end.

Finally, the half-tonne

World War Two bomb which closed

City Airport this week

will be detonated in

a controlled explosion today.

The device was found at the King

George V Dock at the weekend.

It led to the complete closure of

City Airport.

Now the weather, with Georgina.

Some brightness and cloud today as

reflected in our pictures. This was

taken into can. This morning. Thank

you for that. And beautiful Sunrise

captured in Cobham, in Surrey, said

thank you for our pictures today.

The next few hours sees wet weather

and the wind strengthening further.

Rain comment from the West, cloud

building. Fairly fragmented for the

most part and it will be persistent

at at times. Temperatures up to

seven, possibly eight Celsius with

the southerly wind. This evening,

the rain does push to the East. We

are left with fairly clear skies for

much of the night. Warm air is

dragged in behind the rain and

temperatures down to four, five

Celsius so much milder than it has

been recently. Saint cloud first

thing and some rain. Otherwise, a

mainly dry and bright day tomorrow

with sunny spells. Less breeze from

the West tomorrow and milder, with

highs of 11 Celsius. We hold onto

the Mall to weather for a number of

days and we will see double figures.

That's it.

Riz will be here with our early

evening and late news

tonight on BBC One.

Until then, whatever you're

doing this afternoon,

have a very good afternoon.
