:05:48. > :05:49.As we've heard, the deal could have a significant impact
:05:50. > :05:52.on the future of devolved government in Northern Ireland.
:05:53. > :05:55.Sinn Fein has repeatedly said that in doing the deal the UK government
:05:56. > :05:58.has abandoned its duty to remain impartial under the terms of

:06:23. > :06:26.thousands were heading to a concert thinking mainly of music and not
:06:27. > :06:30.money is that they did talk about the deal in London which is bringing
:06:31. > :06:34.more cash to this part of the UK. I think in terms of the economy it
:06:35. > :06:38.will get us on a map. It is a fantastic deal for the people of
:06:39. > :06:42.Northern Ireland, no question. How it goes down elsewhere we will see.
:06:43. > :06:46.I think it is a waste, you need to get the executive working before we
:06:47. > :06:52.get more money, it will be wasted. So where will the ?1 billion of new
:06:53. > :06:56.money go? ?350 million is likely to be spent on health and education,
:06:57. > :07:02.400 million will go to infrastructure, four example roads
:07:03. > :07:06.and public buildings. 150 million is in marked for improving broadband
:07:07. > :07:10.and a further ?100 million going towards deprived communities but the
:07:11. > :07:14.stalemate here at Stormont is not about a cash crisis. The main
:07:15. > :07:19.differences between the DUP and Sinn Fein are not over budgets, they are
:07:20. > :07:21.about issues like legal recognition for the Irish language, whether
:07:22. > :07:26.same-sex marriage should be introduced here and how to deal with
:07:27. > :07:30.unsolved killings from the troubles. Sinn Fein had expressed concern
:07:31. > :07:36.about the prospect is the main Unionist party having such a close
:07:37. > :07:38.relationship with the government. But today they suggested the deal
:07:39. > :07:45.could have some up sides. As always with these deal is the devil is in
:07:46. > :07:51.the detail but any money coming in are given the history of austerity
:07:52. > :07:54.and Tory cuts which hopes to offset the effect on public services is a
:07:55. > :07:59.good thing. There are still big gaps to close in Northern Ireland is to
:08:00. > :08:03.get a fresh agreement. The current breakdown in relations is the most
:08:04. > :08:11.serious since the DUP and Sinn Fein went into power sharing ten years
:08:12. > :08:14.ago. The Northern Ireland Secretary who brokered that breakthrough is
:08:15. > :08:19.worried about the new arrangement in Westminster. The government can no
:08:20. > :08:23.longer be seen as an evenhanded negotiator in the Northern Ireland
:08:24. > :08:28.peace process. That is a very high price to pay to cling onto power
:08:29. > :08:33.regardless. The government insists will remain impartial in the
:08:34. > :08:38.Stormont talks. The power-sharing negotiations are going on into the
:08:39. > :08:41.night, the pace is picking up with three days left to save devolution.
:08:42. > :08:42.Chris Page, BBC News, Belfast. Live to Westminster now and our
:08:43. > :08:52.political editor, Laura Kuenssberg. How much security is this deal going
:08:53. > :08:57.to give Theresa May? I think her cultivation was in this case that
:08:58. > :09:01.perhaps a bad deal was better than no deal -- her calculation. Despite
:09:02. > :09:05.the obvious downsides, the activations that she has put forward
:09:06. > :09:09.a straight bribe which has been put forward by the opposition parties, a
:09:10. > :09:12.sense of unfairness we have already seen felt in other parts of the
:09:13. > :09:18.devolved nations and I'm sure in other parts of England as well. And
:09:19. > :09:21.the potential imprecations for the Good Friday Agreement and getting
:09:22. > :09:26.power-sharing back on the table -- implications. There are significant
:09:27. > :09:31.downsides, no question, but there is one very important upside and this
:09:32. > :09:36.is what the calculation was about. Without this deal Theresa May simply
:09:37. > :09:42.did not have a majority over there. This allows her at least to cover
:09:43. > :09:46.the basics for now. Without it she would have been vulnerable in the
:09:47. > :09:50.Commons every day it sat, every hour, always at risk from a big vote
:09:51. > :09:53.that could have been sprung on her with her opponents ganging up on
:09:54. > :10:00.each other. At least this way she can be sure she is able to get the
:10:01. > :10:03.big pieces of business, the Queen 's speech, Finance bills, those things
:10:04. > :10:07.through the House of Commons because without those that are government
:10:08. > :10:12.has no confidence from parliament and without that they just can't get
:10:13. > :10:17.anything done. But no mistake, this is a veneer of stability rather than
:10:18. > :10:22.anything with deep foundations. It secures the position of Theresa May
:10:23. > :10:25.for now but it does not restore her authority. Laura, thank you, Laura
:10:26. > :10:27.Kuenssberg with the latest from Westminster.
:10:28. > :10:29.In their latest statement on the aftermath of the fire
:10:30. > :10:32.at Grenfell Tower in west London, ministers say that 75 high-rise
:10:33. > :10:37.buildings in 26 local authority areas have failed fire safety tests.
:10:38. > :10:40.The company which makes the cladding that's thought to have been used
:10:41. > :10:43.on Grenfell Tower has now withdrawn the product from worldwide sale.
:10:44. > :10:45.And Camden Council in north London has evacuated several tower blocks
:10:46. > :10:47.after firefighters said they could not guarantee safety,
:10:48. > :10:50.partly because of concerns over fire doors, as our correspondent
:10:51. > :11:09.This growing fire safety crisis in social housing has been, until now,
:11:10. > :11:13.about cladding, the sheet of aluminium that councils have been
:11:14. > :11:16.fitting to tower blocks to improve their look and installation that it
:11:17. > :11:19.has become apparent recently here in Camden that one of the reasons the
:11:20. > :11:24.occupants of five tower blocks have been evacuated is not just to do
:11:25. > :11:29.with cladding but also to do with a lack of fire doors.
:11:30. > :11:35.This is the fire door leading to the fire exit. Roger Evans is staying
:11:36. > :11:40.put in his Camden flat despite the mass evacuation of his neighbours.
:11:41. > :11:45.But today he was told this... Apparently all the doors need
:11:46. > :11:48.replacing. Because last week Camden Council realised these towers were
:11:49. > :11:53.covered with aluminium panels capable of burning in a fire and
:11:54. > :11:57.with that in mind the advice from fire safety experts was that every
:11:58. > :12:01.door needs to be a fire door. What you think the fact you are behind a
:12:02. > :12:04.door that is not a fire door? Is I'd never thought about it, I assumed
:12:05. > :12:07.everything was safe, it is a council property, meant to be well
:12:08. > :12:14.maintained but evidently we have been living in a potential death
:12:15. > :12:17.trap. The Communities Secretary told the Commons it was one of a number
:12:18. > :12:19.of safety issues with the blocks. Most astonishingly there were
:12:20. > :12:25.hundreds, literally hundreds of fire doors missing. The estimate by
:12:26. > :12:29.Camden Council itself is that they need at least 1000 fire doors
:12:30. > :12:33.because they were missing from those five blocks. The council leader has
:12:34. > :12:38.been in the job a month. My understanding is that we are told
:12:39. > :12:41.the council make a cost that by removing the fire doors from the
:12:42. > :12:45.specification. You are new in the job but what does that make you
:12:46. > :12:50.think about how the council has been run? Following Grenfell we need to
:12:51. > :12:55.take a look, nationally, at our building regulations and fire safety
:12:56. > :12:58.measures. We have seen across the country people availing these tests,
:12:59. > :13:02.we acted swiftly in Camden to get the information right now and my
:13:03. > :13:05.priority is the residents who need somewhere to sleep and I'm trying to
:13:06. > :13:09.make sure they are safe and secure and following that I will be asking
:13:10. > :13:13.those questions. I have the same questions and I will be on it but I
:13:14. > :13:20.have to prioritise getting my residents back safely into their
:13:21. > :13:22.blocks. Camden is worst affected but around the country councils are
:13:23. > :13:26.removing the aluminium panels from their towers and sending them for
:13:27. > :13:32.fire safety testing. The tests are happening so far in secret at this
:13:33. > :13:37.research Centre. Samples from 75 towers have been sent, every single
:13:38. > :13:40.one has failed. The building regulations are complex but they
:13:41. > :13:44.start from a basic principle, the external walls of the building shall
:13:45. > :13:48.adequately resist the spread of fire. The question is, how to meet
:13:49. > :13:53.that requirement. There is another document, something called approved
:13:54. > :13:58.document B which is a section which does not even mention cladding said
:13:59. > :14:02.materials used should be of limited combustibility meaning they burn
:14:03. > :14:05.slowly. Even that is not straightforward because designers
:14:06. > :14:10.can instead turn to 2-mac or more documents which are set out other
:14:11. > :14:15.ways to balance such as fire barriers can be added to cladding
:14:16. > :14:20.which does burn to reduce a fire, including using a desktop study to
:14:21. > :14:24.prove it is safe. It may well be the case that the regulations and the
:14:25. > :14:28.related guidance need to be updated to take account of a change in
:14:29. > :14:32.technology in the building industry but secondly we are concerned that
:14:33. > :14:36.the current regulations and guidance are not being applied and enforced
:14:37. > :14:42.strictly enough. The inquests into four more of the victims opens today
:14:43. > :14:44.will stop a corner, the police and the public enquiry will eventually
:14:45. > :14:47.consider why they died and what has gone wrong with fire safety. Tom

:20:56. > :20:59.But before that, there will be tough talks.
:21:00. > :21:02.The EU's Brexit negotiator has already called for more ambition,
:21:03. > :21:14.As we heard, there are 3.2 million EU nationals living in the UK
:21:15. > :21:16.and around a million British nationals living elsewhere
:21:17. > :21:21.Our correspondent Jeremy Cooke has been finding out how some

:21:34. > :21:36.Many of these singers have been here for decades.
:21:37. > :21:41.The government's announcement today is meant to offer them reassurance.
:21:42. > :21:43.It could just change any time, that's my feeling,
:21:44. > :21:50.What's slightly uncomfortable certainly is the fact
:21:51. > :21:53.I'm still the eternal optimist and I hope that, ultimately,
:21:54. > :22:02.The choirmaster is Barbara, a professional singer,
:22:03. > :22:07.shaken by the Brexit vote and its consequences.
:22:08. > :22:11.I just don't see why suddenly because of issues of, the NHS,
:22:12. > :22:14.we want money for the NHS, or issues of, we don't like
:22:15. > :22:18.foreigners, suddenly we are treated like second-class citizens.
:22:19. > :22:29.What Theresa May and David Davis would say
:22:30. > :22:32.is that the evidence of today will be that they want
:22:33. > :22:35.you to stay, that you will be given settled citizen status.
:22:36. > :22:45.Over in Berlin, the Brits in full voice.
:22:46. > :22:51.Most here are confident they can stay after the UK leaves the EU.
:22:52. > :22:54.As someone who kind of personifies free movement having come here 20
:22:55. > :22:58.years ago and reaped all the benefits, I'm very concerned
:22:59. > :22:59.that a whole generation and generations after that
:23:00. > :23:04.At the moment I don't have to choose between British and German,
:23:05. > :23:06.and I think that would have been very hard.
:23:07. > :23:09.Since the Brexit vote and what you hear about that
:23:10. > :23:12.happening in the UK at the moment, actually it would make it easier
:23:13. > :23:18.for me to become a German and give up my British citizenship.
:23:19. > :23:23.The choirmaster here is Andrew Simms, who moved to Berlin in 1988.
:23:24. > :23:27.Maybe when people see the real costs of Brexit,
:23:28. > :23:30.of leaving what I believe is the greatest peace project
:23:31. > :23:33.in the history of humanity, which has given us peace in Europe
:23:34. > :23:39.for the last 70 years, I hope people will reflect.
:23:40. > :23:42.Theresa May is determined to deliver on the Brexit vote,
:23:43. > :23:47.and also to reassure those most directly impacted.
:23:48. > :23:50.It is proving a difficult balance to strike.

:25:08. > :25:11.The measure bans entry to travellers from six mainly Muslim countries

:25:15. > :25:21.Our North America editor Jon Sopel is at the Supreme Court.
:25:22. > :25:29.We have talked a lot about this embattled president but how much of
:25:30. > :25:33.a victory is this one for him? It is not maybe the complete slam dunk
:25:34. > :25:39.Donald Trump would have hoped for but it is a partial and significant
:25:40. > :25:42.victory nonetheless. If you think about where we were, the ban had
:25:43. > :25:46.been struck down completely by the lower courts until it could be
:25:47. > :25:49.considered by the Supreme Court. Now they have decided that from now on
:25:50. > :25:54.people will no longer be allowed to come to the US from those six
:25:55. > :25:59.countries unless they have a bona fides relationship with a person or
:26:00. > :26:05.entity in the United States. That's interesting but there are completely
:26:06. > :26:08.difficult questions about their implementation. Who will decide
:26:09. > :26:16.this? Will it be the customs officer who will decide on the day? But
:26:17. > :26:21.there is an irony in all of this. This is the revised travel ban we
:26:22. > :26:24.are talking about. Donald Trump only earlier this month derided it as
:26:25. > :26:29.being politically correct and watered down. Now he's saying it is
:26:30. > :26:34.a clear victory for our national security at an important -- and an
:26:35. > :26:39.important tool for protecting the nation. It may be watered down, it
:26:40. > :26:44.may be revised but it has given Donald Trump of victory. Thank you.
:26:45. > :26:48.In Hastings an inquest has opened into the deaths of five friends
:26:49. > :26:50.who drowned on a trip to Camber Sands in East

:27:04. > :27:07.This was Camber Sands this afternoon.
:27:08. > :27:09.Its stunning beach drawing thousands of people.
:27:10. > :27:15.No sign of what one lawyer today called its hidden dangers.

:27:26. > :27:29.in Sri Lanka, came to their inquest hoping others won't

:27:40. > :27:46.What have the last ten months been like for you and your family?

:27:52. > :27:55.Nitharsan Ravi was one of the five men to drown.
:27:56. > :27:58.The others were Kobi Saththiyanathan, his brother
:27:59. > :28:06.Kenugen, Inthushan Sriskantharasa, and Guru Srithavarajah.
:28:07. > :28:10.The inquest heard they were all fit and all of them could swim,
:28:11. > :28:13.but one month earlier Mohit Dupar and Gustavo Silva Da Cruz also
:28:14. > :28:24.The fact that seven men drowned here in the space of one month has
:28:25. > :28:27.made this double inquest not just about personal tragedy
:28:28. > :28:32.The coroner in this case said today that he wanted to make sure that it
:28:33. > :28:38.At the time of both incidents, there were no permanent
:28:39. > :28:47.The families of the men who died said they want lessons learned so no
:28:48. > :28:49.one else has to suffer this appalling tragedy.

:28:56. > :28:59.In Canada a team of scientists is embarking on what's set to become

:29:08. > :29:10.in tests online to see how much the amount of sleep affects
:29:11. > :29:18.Our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh has the story.
:29:19. > :29:21.We spend nearly a third of our lives asleep.
:29:22. > :29:25.It is vital for our physical and mental health.
:29:26. > :29:28.But we're getting less sleep than ever before.
:29:29. > :29:31.His visual cortex, his eyes are open but there's actually
:29:32. > :29:35.British neuroscientist Adrian Owen, based in Ontario, Canada,
:29:36. > :29:37.believes sleep deprivation may be having a serious effect
:29:38. > :29:42.Every day we make hundreds of decisions, we remember
:29:43. > :29:47.We make difficult decisions like should I buy a house
:29:48. > :29:53.But we also have to remember many simple things like where I parked
:29:54. > :29:56.the car or what I intended to buy on the way home from work.
:29:57. > :30:01.All of these things can be affected by lack of sleep.
:30:02. > :30:04.You go to sleep for four hours, and then I am going to personally
:30:05. > :30:10.He's begun a major study of the effects of lack
:30:11. > :30:15.So I joined volunteers at Western University Ontario,
:30:16. > :30:20.trying out his test, which anyone can sign up for online.
:30:21. > :30:23.They're designed to reveal how our brains are functioning -
:30:24. > :30:29.reasoning, memory, and decision-making.
:30:30. > :30:32.To demonstrate how tiredness may affect that, we stayed up until 4am,
:30:33. > :30:52.We were about to repeat the brain tests we'd done the previous night.
:30:53. > :31:06.Most of our scores went down compared to the night before.
:31:07. > :31:15.Oh, kisses for your sister, that's really nice.
:31:16. > :31:18.But Sylvie, whose daughters wake her several times a night,
:31:19. > :31:25.Maybe I've just gotten used to functioning on very little sleep.
:31:26. > :31:27.I have to be on as soon as my kids wake up.
:31:28. > :31:34.I finished and I've done quite badly!
:31:35. > :31:37.I also did the tests while having my brain scanned.
:31:38. > :31:41.After a normal night's sleep, my brain was functioning well.
:31:42. > :31:47.The bright orange blobs are areas of increased activity.
:31:48. > :31:51.And this is the scan done after four hours' sleep.
:31:52. > :31:56.It's pretty clear there is much less activity in these areas of the brain
:31:57. > :31:58.that we know are crucial for things like decision-making,
:31:59. > :32:07.So, our 24-hour culture could be having a serious impact on society.
:32:08. > :32:10.Those signing up to the world's biggest sleep study will help show
:32:11. > :32:13.the extent of the problem and reveal how much sleep we need
