Britain's nuclear deterrent - Labour accuses the

Ministers faced urgent questions in the Commons -

with Labour saying they want the truth.

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:22.:01:47.

Labour has accused Theresa May and her ministers of

:01:48.:01:50.

a cover up after she - once again - refused to confirm

:01:51.:01:54.

or deny reports that during the last test of Britain's nuclear deterrent

:01:55.:01:57.

The defence secretary Sir Michael Fallon who faced urgent

:01:58.:02:04.

questions in the Commons said he would not comment

:02:05.:02:06.

As our political editor Laura Kuenssberg reports -

:02:07.:02:10.

the test occurred last June - just before MPs voted to renew

:02:11.:02:13.

Britain's independent nuclear defence capability.

:02:14.:02:20.

Set condition one SQ for weapons system readiness test.

:02:21.:02:22.

A process that is practised and practised.

:02:23.:02:29.

But just before the Prime Minister took charge, a test like this,

:02:30.:02:36.

it seems, did not go according to plan.

:02:37.:02:41.

But Theresa May yesterday refused to say if she had known.

:02:42.:02:43.

There are tests that take place all the time, regularly,

:02:44.:02:49.

What we were talking about in that debate that took place.

:02:50.:02:57.

OK, it's not an answer, I'm not going to get an answer.

:02:58.:03:02.

It matters because the trial appears to have gone wrong just weeks

:03:03.:03:05.

before her new government asked MPs to approve billions of pounds

:03:06.:03:07.

we are launching this strategy here...

:03:08.:03:17.

Having failed to answer yesterday, today on a Cabinet visit,

:03:18.:03:20.

the Prime Minister had to admit she did know.

:03:21.:03:22.

I'm regularly briefed on national security issues,

:03:23.:03:25.

I was briefed on this successful certification of HMS

:03:26.:03:28.

We don't comment on the operational details for national

:03:29.:03:31.

This spectacular misfire in the late 80s of an American

:03:32.:03:35.

The vast majority of tests have been successful.

:03:36.:03:40.

And it's not clear what went wrong with this weapons trial.

:03:41.:03:46.

But Labour has found a lot wrong with the government's

:03:47.:03:48.

At the heart of this issue is a worrying lack of transparency,

:03:49.:03:54.

and a Prime Minister who has chosen to cover up a serious incident

:03:55.:03:57.

rather than coming clean with the British public.

:03:58.:04:00.

This House and more importantly the British public deserves better.

:04:01.:04:07.

The details of the demonstration and shakedown operation I am not

:04:08.:04:11.

going to discuss publicly on the floor of this House.

:04:12.:04:16.

We simply want to know, was this test successful or not?

:04:17.:04:19.

Should we believe the White House official, who, while we've been

:04:20.:04:22.

sitting here debating, has confirmed to CNN

:04:23.:04:26.

that the missile did auto self-destruct off

:04:27.:04:28.

Once stories get out there that a missile may have failed,

:04:29.:04:35.

isn't it better to be quite frank about it?

:04:36.:04:39.

There are always some things that government wants to keep

:04:40.:04:43.

from MPs and the rest of us, but this time Theresa May's

:04:44.:04:46.

hope of staying quiet seems to have backfired.

:04:47.:04:53.

The most straightforward questions, like who knew what, can be

:04:54.:04:55.

The political arguments over whether we need nuclear weapons

:04:56.:05:00.

A fight over whether they work is a battle ministers would

:05:01.:05:04.

Our Defence Correspondent Jonathan Beale is at the Ministry of Defence.

:05:05.:05:14.

Suggestions night that the British public is being kept in the dark,

:05:15.:05:20.

but some people abroad know the details. The fact is, these tests

:05:21.:05:27.

are publicised in advance, in the sense that aviation, shipping our

:05:28.:05:31.

ward to avoid hazard areas and even in the past, Russian spy ships have

:05:32.:05:36.

observed them from a distance, so it is strange that the British public

:05:37.:05:40.

find out about this test when they read in the media that something

:05:41.:05:45.

went wrong. Michael Fallon in the Commons committee refused to confirm

:05:46.:05:50.

that something did go wrong, citing national security reasons, you would

:05:51.:05:53.

only confirm that the actual launch, the certification of the submarine,

:05:54.:06:02.

was a success. That said, there are problems with this line, in the past

:06:03.:06:06.

the Ministry of Defence has publicised these tests when they

:06:07.:06:09.

have been a success, so why not this time? Was a big is of the crucial

:06:10.:06:13.

Commons vote on renewing the Trident missile system. The other problem

:06:14.:06:18.

is, in Washington we are hearing from unnamed officials that there

:06:19.:06:25.

was a failure in this test. It seems strange that while Michael Fallon

:06:26.:06:29.

says this is an independent British nuclear deterrent that the

:06:30.:06:31.

government cannot comment, but US officials, it appears, can. Thanks

:06:32.:06:34.

for joining us. On his first working day

:06:35.:06:40.

as American President, Donald Trump met business leaders

:06:41.:06:44.

and promised to cut taxes and slash He also warned chief executives that

companies which move jobs out of the United States

will face border taxes. Here's our North America

Editor Jon Sopel. Coming back, I wanted

:06:59.:07:02.

to sit next to him. Cheery bonhomie

:07:03.:07:08.

from the president as he met business leaders this morning,

to be an enabler to business. If somebody wants to

put up a factory, it's You have to go through the process,

of the environment and we're going to take care of safety

:07:52.:07:54.

and all the other things we have to take care of,

:07:55.:07:57.

but you're going to get such great service and there will be no country

:07:58.:08:00.

that is faster, better, more fair, and at the same time protecting

:08:01.:08:04.

the people of the country. And there is an eye-catching

:08:05.:08:07.

promise to cut taxes. What we're doing, we're going to be

:08:08.:08:14.

cutting taxes massively for both the middle

:08:15.:08:22.

class and for companies, We've been talking about

:08:23.:08:24.

this for a long time. The president has also been busy

signing a whole pile One, that the United States

will have nothing to do with the Pacific trade deal,

but also his intention to renegotiate the NAFTA agreement

with Mexico and Canada. But it's these issues that won him

:08:41.:08:42.

the election and not a bizarre row over how big the crowd

:08:43.:08:47.

was at his inauguration. One other executive order

:08:48.:08:56.

particularly eye-catching that was signed today, aid agencies in

receipt of US government funds will now no longer be able to offer

:09:02.:09:06.

abortions or advice on abortions in their fieldwork around the world.

:09:07.:09:11.

This has been a political football going back for many decades with

:09:12.:09:15.

Democrats rescinding it and Republicans three opposing it, but

:09:16.:09:17.

it is an important indication of where Donald Trump stands on this

:09:18.:09:21.

issue. And what might be be future social policy for America as well.

:09:22.:09:30.

The inquest into the deaths of 30 British people murdered

:09:31.:09:32.

by an Islamist gunman in Tunisia two years ago has begun hearing

:09:33.:09:35.

The court heard evidence from several eyewitnesses

:09:36.:09:38.

to the shootings and from the family and friends of the first

:09:39.:09:41.

The shocking details of their death, today the court began to hear about

:09:42.:09:55.

each individual killed. Joan and Janet were amongst the first people

:09:56.:10:00.

to be shot dead -- John. Their family was in court as the couple

:10:01.:10:03.

were described as having died together doing what they enjoyed

:10:04.:10:08.

most, being side-by-side. Trudy Jones from South Wales was also

:10:09.:10:12.

killed on the beach, she was described as someone who put

:10:13.:10:16.

everyone happiness before her own. The court was shown a map which

:10:17.:10:20.

illustrated the position of the sun lounges and Trudy Jones was

sunbathing on the front row. John Stocker had been alongside her. Next

:10:31.:10:34.

murdered tourist after tourist -- gunman's. This shows people fleeing

:10:35.:10:40.

from here in fear when they realised what was happening. The court also

:10:41.:10:47.

saw this 3-D animation of the resort, the blue skies and the sand

:10:48.:10:51.

and the pictures of those murdered. Each person shown where they were

:10:52.:10:56.

shot. One eyewitness accounts summed up the horror of that day. Simon

:10:57.:11:01.

Greaves described the gunman to the court.

:11:02.:11:11.

The question of tourist safety is a recurrent one here, and today an

:11:12.:11:16.

eyewitness said that the police response during the attack was poor

:11:17.:11:20.

as was security generally around the hotel. Today was about just three

:11:21.:11:27.

victims, but there are many more harrowing stories to be told.

:11:28.:11:30.

Science, technology and infrastructure.

:11:31.:11:34.

That's the focus for the government after they unveiled

:11:35.:11:39.

They hope it will get the economy firing on all cylinders as the UK

Theresa May said it would mean a more active role for the government

:11:46.:11:49.

as she outlined her plans. But critics say it

:11:50.:11:52.

doesn't go far enough. Our business editor

a truly global Britain. But we need to ensure

:12:21.:12:22.

that our economy is working for everyone, working in every

:12:23.:12:25.

part of the country. The government's ten point plan

:12:26.:12:29.

includes investment in research and development

:12:30.:12:31.

in high-growth sectors. ?170 million for technical

:12:32.:12:36.

colleges to improve skills. And infrastructure investment

:12:37.:12:40.

targeted to fit regional needs. I think it's absolutely essential

:12:41.:12:43.

and it's been too long in coming. And it's all about coordination,

:12:44.:12:48.

and directed and focused input to meet the needs of the economy

of this country. And why wouldn't we be doing it

of new money available, the fear is that while some sectors will be

:13:15.:13:17.

cultivated, others may wither, leaving behind the workers

:13:18.:13:20.

in those industries. I don't think we can afford

:13:21.:13:26.

to leave any sector behind in an industrial strategy,

:13:27.:13:29.

particularly given so many millions of workers are employed

:13:30.:13:32.

in areas like retail, food, care, where wages are often

too low and investment too scarce. So it has to be a holistic

best known new towns - but half a century ago

:15:06.:15:10.

this was Milton Keynes - a small rural village in

Buckinghamshire. Then, within just a few years

the surrounding area was transformed And this is the town today as it

shopping malls and grid planned streets. Your concrete cows. Not so

:15:47.:15:51.

much a new town as a new city. More than a quarter of a million people

:15:52.:15:56.

now contributing ?10 billion a year to the UK, this has been one of the

:15:57.:15:59.

fastest-growing places in the country. The roundabouts make some

on farmland and villages adequate distance between London, Birmingham,

:16:33.:16:37.

Oxford and Cambridge. Protests were bulldozed aside. England then, as

:16:38.:16:42.

now, needed houses. The grid system is based on roads. The grid

:16:43.:16:47.

represents a different community because in each grid square there is

:16:48.:16:51.

a different community and when people first came to Milton Keynes

:16:52.:16:53.

they tended to talk about their local community and their grid

:17:20.:17:24.

they be built? In 2007 Gordon Brown promised ten new eco-towns in

:17:25.:17:29.

England. Amid noisy opposition, not one was ever built. And now plans

:17:30.:17:34.

for three new garden towns look likely to anger the guardians of the

imagine what's going through those people's minds. Milton Keynes

:17:56.:17:58.

promised a new kind of city, but its layout and lifestyle were always at

odds with English tradition. For all its success there is still no where

Michael Buchanan has been Dean Saunders had no previous

:18:26.:18:28.

history of mental illness but in December 2015 the young dad

:18:29.:18:35.

suddenly became paranoid and delusional, convinced

:18:36.:18:37.

he had to kill himself. The hand with the knife was free,

:18:38.:18:43.

and this time he come down Mark, Dean's father,

:18:44.:18:46.

put his life on the line. On the kitchen floor he struggled

:18:47.:18:57.

to get the knife from his son. At one point he held

:18:58.:19:01.

the knife in his own stomach. At that time I thought I can't

:19:02.:19:06.

let him have the knife. And I put my hand over the top

:19:07.:19:10.

of his so he could not pull it out. As he pulled it out, I held it in,

:19:11.:19:14.

I could not let him have that knife. Dean was charged with attempted

:19:15.:19:23.

murder and remanded in custody at Chelmsford prison,

:19:24.:19:25.

initially on constant watch. But then three staff,

:19:26.:19:34.

none of whom were medically trained, none of whom had read his notes,

reduced his observations His family pleaded the prison not

:19:38.:19:39.

to do it, but were ignored. I said, "I'm telling you now,

:19:40.:19:43.

if you don't put my son back on constant watch then

:19:44.:19:47.

he will kill himself." "You won't be able to

:19:48.:19:48.

say you didn't know, you hadn't been told,

:19:49.:19:51.

weren't aware, because you know." "And if he kills himself it

:19:52.:19:55.

will be your fault." Today's report found numerous

:19:56.:19:58.

problems in his care, including a failure to properly

appreciate his risk of suicide. Dean Saunders was one of a record

:20:13.:20:15.

themselves in 2016. There is a proliferation

:20:16.:20:17.

of official reports, reviews, inquest findings that all point

:20:18.:20:22.

to the crisis in our prisons, in particular the way

:20:23.:20:26.

in which people with mental Ministers say they are investing

:20:27.:20:28.

millions to make prisons safer, but for Dean's family it's

:20:29.:20:33.

all too late. I can't handle knowing that he died

:20:34.:20:37.

on his own, away from family that was so important to him,

:20:38.:20:41.

and they done nothing at all. The new Sinn Fein leader has been

just weeks before a snap How Ireland correspondence is at

O'Neill represent? She is from a staunchly Republican family but she

:21:22.:21:26.

does not have that personal IRA past that her predecessor had and that is

:21:27.:21:31.

a significant difference. It is worth remembering what a central

figure Martin McGuinness played in bridging the gap between unionists

and Republicans and allowing power-sharing here. Of course that

:21:39.:21:41.

power-sharing government has collapsed in recent weeks and that

means the challenges begin almost immediately for Michelle O'Neill.

very much. Government scientists are warning

that overcooked potatoes, toast and crisps could increase

the risk of developing cancer. The Food Standards Agency says

a potentially harmful compound called Acrylamide is produced

when starchy foods are roasted, fried or grilled for too long

:22:16.:22:17.

at high temperatures. However, cancer research charities

by acrylamide and how does it compare to other

factors that might cause cancer? 4% of all cancers in the UK

5% are associated with being overweight or obese,

the chemical that's produced in burnt toast, well,

there is no proven link to cancer in humans,

:23:51.:23:52.

and that has led some experts to suggest there is no real

danger to public health. I think there is a risk that public
