So it's goodbye from me -

and on BBC One we now join the BBC's

0:00:000:00:15

Welcome to BBC London News.

0:00:150:00:16

I'm Victoria Hollins.

0:00:160:00:20

A woman from Surrey says

she was horrified to find out that

0:00:200:00:22

three "do not attempt resuscitation"

forms were put on her medical

0:00:220:00:25

records against her wishes.

0:00:250:00:27

Carol Hall was in

hospital last summer

0:00:270:00:29

with a serious lung condition.

0:00:290:00:31

Frimley Park Hospital says it's

reviewing its current forms.

0:00:310:00:33

Sophia Seth reports.

0:00:330:00:42

Frightening.

0:00:420:00:43

To think that they could have those

forms and I didn't know

0:00:430:00:46

anything about them.

0:00:460:00:47

Carol has a degenerative lung

condition called COPD.

0:00:470:00:50

Last summer, a chest infection

meant she was in and out

0:00:500:00:52

of Frimley Park Hospital.

0:00:520:00:59

In that time, she had

three do not attempt

0:00:590:01:01

resuscitation forms on her file.

0:01:010:01:02

Both she and her husband told me

they had no knowledge of them.

0:01:020:01:05

That can't happen,

things like that, but...

0:01:050:01:06

And then I just brought her home

because I thought, "No way

0:01:060:01:09

is she going to stay there."

0:01:090:01:11

All three forms said that Carol

and her family agreed

0:01:110:01:14

she shouldn't be resuscitated -

something they disputed.

0:01:140:01:24

Resuscitation has risks.

0:01:320:01:33

Doctors are advised that a patient's

wishes should always be considered

0:01:330:01:36

but they don't have to give

treatment if they believe it

0:01:360:01:38

won't benefit the patient.

0:01:380:01:39

However, medical guidelines state

that doctors must provide honest

0:01:390:01:41

and accurate record keeping

of the process.

0:01:410:01:43

I've contacted Frimley Park

Hospital, but it says it cannot

0:01:430:01:45

comment on this particular case.

0:01:450:01:46

However, it says it understands

the importance of good communication

0:01:460:01:48

when it comes to issues around

do not attempt cardiopulmonary

0:01:480:01:49

resuscitation.

0:01:490:01:51

The hospital also says

it is reviewing its current forms

0:01:510:01:52

to ensure they are as clear

as possible for

0:01:520:01:54

clinicians and patients.

0:01:540:01:56

One charity has told us they have

seen an increase in patients

0:01:560:01:59

concerned about resuscitation forms.

0:01:590:02:02

We know that doctors are under a lot

of pressure and sometimes

0:02:020:02:05

the communication isn't happening

and sometimes I think they're almost

0:02:050:02:09

frightened to have the conversation.

0:02:090:02:10

They're worried the patient's

going to be upset.

0:02:100:02:13

There are no new recommendations

for health care professionals.

0:02:130:02:23

-- there are now

new recommendations.

0:02:230:02:24

They start by talking

about the person's condition,

0:02:240:02:26

the treatments that would help them

to achieve what they want

0:02:260:02:29

to achieve, and then

going on to talk about treatments

0:02:290:02:32

that wouldn't help them and that

would be better avoided,

0:02:320:02:34

including resuscitation.

0:02:340:02:35

Carol is now receiving NHS

care packages at home.

0:02:350:02:37

She hopes nobody else goes

through what she did.

0:02:370:02:39

I would like to see

that they are treated correctly,

0:02:390:02:41

with care and compassion.

0:02:410:02:46

Some people out there might not have

any family to stick up for them.

0:02:460:02:53

Some residents living

in shipping containers

0:02:530:02:54

converted into flats have complained

that the units are too

0:02:540:02:57

cold and expensive.

0:02:570:02:59

Ealing Council says the use

of the containers is a cheaper way

0:02:590:03:02

to house people in temporary

accommodation - and apologised

0:03:020:03:04

for a recent problem with the bills.

0:03:040:03:07

Here's Gareth Furby.

0:03:070:03:10

They're shipping containers

and now temporary homes.

0:03:100:03:12

Opened in Hanwell in west

London almost a year ago,

0:03:120:03:15

and then in Acton three months ago,

and hailed by Ealing

0:03:150:03:21

by Ealing Council as a new way

to help homeless families.

0:03:210:03:24

So how is it working out?

0:03:240:03:27

Not too well, according

to some residents.

0:03:270:03:28

Put your hand here.

0:03:290:03:29

It's colder than outside.

0:03:290:03:31

There's not enough heating.

0:03:310:03:32

There are no radiators

in the kitchen area

0:03:320:03:34

or the passage or the bathroom.

0:03:340:03:35

At night, you can't get out of bed

because of the cold.

0:03:350:03:38

They said, "If you don't like it,

we'll take your name off the list

0:03:380:03:41

and you can go with your family

and sleep on the street."

0:03:410:03:44

Ealing Council says it hasn't

received any complaints

0:03:440:03:46

but in another Acton container,

we met a mother of three.

0:03:460:03:49

It is just freezing.

0:03:490:03:50

It is absolutely freezing.

0:03:500:03:51

There is no heating in the bathroom.

0:03:510:03:53

And she showed us documents

which state that the rent has just

0:03:530:03:56

gone up by 20% to £415 a week.

0:03:560:03:59

That's around £1800 a month.

0:03:590:04:02

Her payments are covered

by benefits but she says that

0:04:020:04:11

would mean her two-bed container

costs around £400 a month more

0:04:110:04:15

to rent than the two-bed house

she had to leave.

0:04:150:04:18

When we pointed out

to Ealing Council that shipping

0:04:180:04:20

containers were now apparently

costing more than bricks and mortar,

0:04:200:04:22

they said they'd made a mistake.

0:04:220:04:23

We have made an error in the last

two weeks in sending out

0:04:230:04:26

a revised rent bill.

0:04:260:04:28

That will be corrected immediately.

0:04:280:04:29

The council says the converted

containers are good value for money.

0:04:290:04:32

About £1000 a month cheaper than bed

and breakfast accommodation.

0:04:320:04:40

We haven't received any

complaints

0:04:400:04:42

from residents about that

at the moment so we will look

0:04:420:04:44

into what has been said.

0:04:440:04:45

We certainly hope that what we have

provided is some very thermally

0:04:450:04:48

comfortable accommodation.

0:04:480:04:49

Ealing Council says conditions

here are much better

0:04:490:04:51

than in a B&B but it

will investigate all complaints.

0:04:510:04:59

A man who was jailed for carrying

out a series of attacks

0:04:590:05:02

in the Home Counties -

including on a ten year old -

0:05:020:05:05

has died in prison.

0:05:050:05:06

Antoni Imiela, who became

known as the M25 rapist,

0:05:060:05:09

passed away yesterday,

just months after he was told he had

0:05:090:05:11

been referred for parole.

0:05:110:05:13

He was given seven life

sentences with a minimum term

0:05:130:05:15

of eight years in 2004.

0:05:150:05:21

The opening ceremony

of the Winter Paralympics

0:05:210:05:24

took place this morning in South

Korea.

0:05:240:05:26

And a dance group from London will

soon be joining the celebrations.

0:05:260:05:29

Candoco has some

experience in this field -

0:05:290:05:33

having performed with

Coldplay at the 2012 Games.

0:05:330:05:35

Wendy Hurrell has more.

0:05:350:05:39

Contemporary dance by Candoco.

0:05:390:05:46

For 27 years, this company has had

disabled and non-disabled

0:05:460:05:48

dancers performing together

on the same stage.

0:05:480:05:54

I enjoy the conversation around

disability, around body,

0:05:540:05:57

about what they're seeing onstage

and what is not seen

0:05:570:05:59

and I think that is a really

important part of Candoco.

0:05:590:06:02

In the rehearsal rooms

at Sadlers Wells, the final practice

0:06:020:06:05

for tonight and tomorrow's

double bill show.

0:06:050:06:08

We have different abilities,

conditions, so when a choreographer

0:06:080:06:11

comes into the company and works

with us, you know, they just

0:06:110:06:16

cannot make assumptions

about how we function.

0:06:160:06:19

We have a much more

collaborative environment.

0:06:190:06:24

We bring in as our tools my crutches

or a wheelchair etc.

0:06:240:06:27

That's all part of who we are.

0:06:270:06:29

We make it our own because we all

dancers are a big part

0:06:290:06:32

of the creation process as well.

0:06:320:06:35

Then the whole company

is heading to Pyeongchang

0:06:350:06:37

for the winter Paralympics.

0:06:370:06:41

It is so relevant globally

and where the UK stands in terms

0:06:410:06:45

of diversity is one place,

and we do visit places

0:06:450:06:49

where it is less prevalent.

0:06:490:06:58

We're going to Korea on Sunday?

0:06:580:07:03

I think we are going on Sunday!

0:07:030:07:05

My bag is packed over there.

0:07:050:07:08

Another chance to put

their inclusive message

0:07:080:07:10

on the world stage.

0:07:100:07:12

They performed with

Coldplay at the 2012

0:07:120:07:14

Paralympics closing ceremony.

0:07:140:07:19

There has been a huge shift that

I think affected us all.

0:07:190:07:24

The whole ecology is different now.

0:07:240:07:26

But I think there

is a long way to go.

0:07:260:07:32

It's the end of an era

for the NME music newspaper -

0:07:320:07:34

the London-based publiation will be

issued for the final time today.

0:07:340:07:38

The New Musical Express documented

the rise of British pop

0:07:380:07:42

music led by the Beatles

and the Rolling Stones

0:07:420:07:44

in the '60s and punk in the '70s.

0:07:440:07:48

Now the weather with

Elizabeth Rizzini.

0:07:480:07:54

Now the weather with

Elizabeth Rizzini.

0:07:540:07:56

Hello, good afternoon.

0:07:560:07:57

It was a cold and frosty start

to the day for many of us.

0:07:570:08:00

A few early mist patches

about but also some sunshine.

0:08:000:08:03

But it wasn't too long, of course,

before the cloud started to thicken,

0:08:030:08:05

and that's what we've got

here in this Weather

0:08:050:08:08

Watcher picture.

0:08:080:08:09

It's all paving the way

for a weather front to sweep in.

0:08:090:08:12

It is going to bring some outbreaks

of rain before the end of the day

0:08:120:08:15

but also some milder air.

0:08:150:08:16

So the weekend is looking a lot

milder but there will be some rain

0:08:160:08:19

around at times as well.

0:08:200:08:21

Certainly quite of rain

about this afternoon.

0:08:210:08:22

That is going to be pushing

in from the south-west,

0:08:220:08:25

light and patchy at first,

then we will start getting the odd

0:08:250:08:27

heavy burst here and there.

0:08:270:08:29

A soggy and blustery end to the day.

0:08:290:08:31

Top temperatures between eight,

maybe as high as ten

0:08:310:08:33

degrees, so wet and windy

through the evening rush-hour.

0:08:330:08:35

That rain continues to feed

in on the south-westerly breeze.

0:08:350:08:37

We will see the odd

heavier burst, I think.

0:08:370:08:39

It will just be on and off

through the course of the night.

0:08:390:08:42

A cloudy, damp start

to the day tomorrow.

0:08:420:08:44

Possibly some more outbreaks of rain

but mild, seven to nine Celsius.

0:08:440:08:47

Then tomorrow, we're

likely to see a drier,

0:08:470:08:49

brighter slot through the middle

of the day and in this brightness,

0:08:490:08:52

we could see temperatures rise to 14

or even perhaps 15 Celsius but it

0:08:520:08:55

will probably be followed by another

spell of rain as we head

0:08:550:08:58

towards the end of the day.

0:08:580:08:59

Possibly some brighter skies

out towards the west

0:08:590:09:01

just before sundown.

0:09:010:09:02

Temperatures, as I said, between 12,

maybe as high as 15 Celsius.

0:09:020:09:05

Mother's Day is on Sunday.

0:09:050:09:06

It is going to be quite misty

and foggy through the morning.

0:09:060:09:09

We will probably see some afternoon

brightness but watch out

0:09:090:09:12

for one or two showers,

which we could see

0:09:120:09:14

by the end of the day.

0:09:140:09:17

That's about it from me.

0:09:170:09:18

Riz Lateef will be here

with our 6:30 evening programme.

0:09:180:09:21

But for now, from us all,

a very good afternoon.
