Talk To The Commissioner
The Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Service, Bernard Hogan-Howe has invited residents of Southwark, Lewisham and Greenwich to come and talk to him at a unique event. Residents of the three south-east boroughs will have the opportunity to hear Commissioner Hogan-Howe speak about his vision for London and share their thoughts and ideas with him. Places for the event which will be held at Lewisham College, Lewisham Way, on Wednesday 7 December, are limited so residents are encouraged to register their interest as soon as possible. The event takes place between 7pm - 8pm, while doors will open for refreshments at 6.30pm.
Appeal For Witnesses To Fatal Roundabout Crash
An appeal for witnesses following a fatal collision in east London is continuing. The incident occurred on Friday November 11, when officers were called at approx 4.45pm to reports of a white tipper truck having collided with a cyclist at the Bow Road Roundabout. Police said that at this early stage it is believed the collision occurred as the lorry and the cyclist, travelling west on High Street E3, moved off from traffic lights at the roundabout. The ambulance service attended but the cyclist, a woman aged 34, was pronounced dead at the scene. She was Svitlana Tereschenko, a Ukrainian national, of Wellington Way, Bow. The woman's next of kin have been informed. A post-mortem on Tuesday 15 November at Poplar Mortuary gave cause of death as multiple injuries. Officers from the Road Death Investigation Unit at Chadwell Heath are investigating the circumstances of the collision. Anyone who witnessed it, or the movements of both parties in the moments leading up to the collision, is asked to contact the witness line on 020 8597 4874. The driver, a 29-year old man, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving and taken to an east London police station. He has now been bailed to return in December, pending further inquiries.
Protestors And Military Clash In Egypt
Egyptian police and anti-government protesters have had a fifth day of unrest and violence in central Cairo on Wednesday. A rights group raised the overall death toll from the ongoing unrest to at least 38, while the United Nations has strongly condemned what it called the use of excessive force by security forces. The clashes resumed despite a promise by Egypt’s military ruler to speed up a presidential election to the first half of next year, a concession swiftly rejected by tens of thousands of protesters in Tahrir Square. The military previously floated late next year or early 2013 as the likely date for the vote, the last step in the process of transferring power to a civilian government.
