Bartholomeo Joly de Lotbiniere tells jurors both parties felt "disappointment and regret".

Three-month-old Imani Wiltshire was discovered on the lower deck of a bus in Stratford.

A nurse whose patient died after she gave him the wrong type of blood, and then tried to blame a colleague for the mistake, has been spared jail.

Lea Ledesma, 49, from Stevenage, was found guilty of unlawful killing by gross negligence in December following a trial at Southwark Crown Court.  

The jury heard the nurse made a series of mistakes at the London Heart Hospital in 2014, which led to Ali Huseyin, 76, being given type AB blood rather than type O.

Ledesma initially tried to pass off the error as being a colleague's mistake, and only when questioned further did she admit to being distracted and flustered when checking the patient details.  

Today she was given an 18-month suspended sentence at Southwark Crown Court.

Ledesma wept and hugged her family after the sentence was passed.

A "corrosive substance" was thrown at a man at Barking rail station this morning, says British Transport Police.

The assault happened just before 08:30 and officers are urging any eyewitnesses to come forward. Call 0800 40 50 40 or text 61016.

The route, which carries more than 31,000 people on weekdays, has been shut since September.

Police have been called to a "bomb hoax" at Belmarsh Prison.

The Metropolitan Police were called to a bomb threat at 08:30, but no device was found after police carried out a search.

The Prison was unaffected, and all inmates were able to attend court.

The public consultation on the plan runs until 21 April

Lea Ledesma, 49, from Stevenage, was found guilty of unlawful killing by gross negligence in December following a trial at Southwark Crown Court.

The court heard she made a series of mistakes which led to Ali Huseyin, 76, being given type AB blood at the London Heart Hospital (now University College Hospital at Westmoreland Street) during a transfusion even though he was blood group O.

Mr Huseyin had been in the care of Ledesma after a successful heart bypass operation in May 2014.

A number of errors on her part saw her choose the wrong blood from a vending style machine when the patient required a blood transfusion, before checking it against the wrong computer records.

She initially tried to pass off the error as being a colleague's mistake, and only when questioned further did she admit to being distracted and flustered when checking the patient details.
