Akfa: Today's headlines are: Cyclist killed on Mile-end Road, Youth refused bail for assault on local pensioners, slam dunk interview with paralympian star, and finally fashion trends for you to follow this Christmas. So let's start off with Shazmin with some serious news

Shazmin: Commuters were shocked to witness the death of 25yr old cyclist Patrick Hickinson on Mile-end Road last night after being hit by a lorry. Flowers have been laid out in the scene and many notes have been written in his memory. One of them touchingly read, "Dad, I know you are watching and I will never forget you". I went to Mile-end Road to find out the views from the public on cyclist safety in London.

Akfa: Now for our next story we go live to Bow magistrates court with Teen Buzz roving reporter; Fahima Ferdaus

Fahima: Hi Akfa, I've just stepped out of the court room here in Bow where a 19year old boy has been charged with assault after physically assaulting an elderly man and woman on the streets of Bow. Although the defendant pleaded not guilty, he failed to be granted bail as he has previous assault convictions. This left the defendants mother in floods of tears in the public gallery. PC Rashid was also present during this hearing and has kindly agreed to talk to us at Teen Buzz FM.

So, do you think it was the right decision not giving the defendant bail?

PC Rashid: Yes of course. He has committed similar offences before, who's to say he won't do it again. People need to be punished for their crimes.

Fahima: What sentence do you think he'll receive?

PC Rashid: He will probably get off with a fine and a few months of community service as neither of the victims was too badly injured.

Fahima: Do you think young people feel safe on the streets of Bow?

PC Rashid: Well Bow isn't really the most dangerous area in east London, I think if the youngsters go out together they should feel safe

Fahima: Do you think witnesses are scared to come forward?

PC Rashid: It has happened in certain cases where the witnesses have been threatened to silence but in this case I don't think there was time for that as police arrived at the scene as soon as they got the call. But if there are any witnesses, I would advise them to come forward 

Fahima: Okay, thanks for your time. This is Fahima Ferdaus reporting for Teen Buzz FM, back to the studio.

Victorious music starts to play...

Akfa: Right, let's shake it up with a bit of sports news. Live on the line we have an interview call with basketball champion Adrian Francis, an athlete who took part in the London 2012 Paralympics.

Adrian: Hello?

Akfa: Hi Adrian, Can you just tell me a bit about yourself?

Adrian: Erm, I trained in the  Paralympics in 96 Atlanta for Great Britain basketball team and we won a bronze medal.

Akfa: Do you think the 2012 games had more impact than previous years?

Adrian: Erm, I would say the impact of the Paralympics was much more strong in the 2012 games that just passed, like a lot of the numbers, we had considerably large numbers at the 2012 games compared to the games previously.

Akfa: Okay, and what challenges did you face as a disable sports man?

Adrian: Erm, challenges were, things like accessing the gym where i work for the gym at the moment because things like accessing I was finding it quite difficult on certain machinery.

Akfa: What advice would you give to disable youths to get out into sports?

Adrian: The main thing is to always have a short term goal plan that you're going to want to achieve and once you get that, you'll get to your long term goal.

Akfa: Thank you so much for speaking to us today at Teen Buzz FM.

Adrian: Cool take care

Akfa: Okay, Thank you bye.
