Near miss over East London

This morning at approx 940am a British Airways flight from London city airport had a near miss with a Air Canada aircraft inbound heathrow. The BA plane a BAE146/RJ100 had just taken off from city airport and was turning north and climbing to 3000ft.(the standard departure) It seems the air canada plane was turning south probably on base leg and started decending below its alloted height of 4000ft. The BA aircraft got warning alerts from its tcas system. according to audio from Thames the aircraft passed within 500ft of each other.
