China has it in its hands to put on a lot more pressure, | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
and we want to see them do that over the coming weeks and months. | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
As the UN prepares to discuss it, we'll be looking at how much | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
of a threat this latest missile test poses. | :00:43. | :00:44. | |

Slovakian cyclist Peter Sagan is disqualified from the Tour de France | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
after a crash that leaves Mark Cavendish floored, | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
President Trump has urged China to put what he called "a heavy | :01:31. | :01:56. | |
move" on North Korea, after the regime said it | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
has successfully tested an intercontinental ballistic | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
Pyongyang claims the missile could strike anywhere on the planet. | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
Western scientists are more sceptical, but say it could possibly | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
The launch is just days before world leaders meet to discuss, | :02:09. | :02:18. | |
among other things, North Korea's weapons programme, which | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
it's pursuing despite international sanctions. | :02:21. | :02:21. | |
Our diplomatic correspondent James Landale reports. | :02:22. | :02:33. | |
This is the moment that North Korea says it came a major power, the | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
launch of a missile which it says can deliver a weapon as far away as | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
the United States. The news was announced on state television with | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
barely constrained Joy. The presenter showing the handwritten | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
order given by the country's leader, Kim Jong-un. He personally | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
supervised the launch of a missile which he believes will secure him in | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
power, protect his people and dismay his opponents to the south. | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
TRANSLATION: If North Korea ignores our military's warning and continues | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
provocations, we clearly warn that Kim Jong-un's regime will face | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
destruction. This is the missile which could carry the regime's | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
nuclear weapons. It was launched from an airfield here in the west of | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
the country. It was sent up at a very deep angle and it rose, it is | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
claimed, to about 1700 miles, thought to be the highest any North | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
Korean missile has got to. It landed 37 minutes later, more than 500 | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
miles away, somewhere in the sea close to Japan. The point is that if | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
this missile were fired at a shallower angle, it might now have | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
the power to reach, potentially, more than 3400 miles, the minimum | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
defined range for an intercontinental ballistic missile. | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
If so, that could mean reaching as far as Alaska on the mainland of the | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
United States. They're so keen on developing more advanced missile | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
capabilities. Although right now, the region is targetable, it is | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
about ensuring that they have that level of respect internationally, to | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
say, we have this capability, stand up and listen to us. Experts say it | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
is not clear if North Korea has the technology needed to protect a | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
warhead on re-entry and guide it to its target. But the possibility of | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
North Korean missiles reaching the US is a significant step forward, | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
which President Trump said earlier this year just wouldn't happen. In a | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
tweet, he again urged China to put pressure on North Korea to end this | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
nonsense, once and for all, a message echoed by allies. The | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
Government will be escalating this at the G20 and the UN in the next | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
few days. But the real pressure has got to come from China. But so far, | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
China has been reluctant or unable to turn the screw on North Korea. | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
The Chinese president was in Russia today. Both he and President Putin | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
called for a freeze on North Korea's nuclear weapons programme, but also | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
the suspension of US and South Korean military exercises. The | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
supreme leader is enjoying his growing nuclear capability and shows | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
little sign of listening to anyone. The balance of power is shifting in | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
the region, and the outside world seems powerless to stop it. | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
In a moment, we'll speak to our China editor, | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
Carrie Gracie, but first, let's speak to Jon Sopel, | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
Trump said four days ago that his patience | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
Bluntly Fiona, there are no easy solutions. If there was a piece of | :05:52. | :06:05. | |
low hanging fruit that could be easily plucked, US policymakers | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
would have done that by now. We know that strategic patience has run out. | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
We have heard in the past few days that sanctions are going to be | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
imposed on a Chinese bank, and imports and exports which are | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
believed to be helping John theirs. First of all, Donald Trump said he | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
was going to go it alone, no-one knew what that meant. Then he became | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
suddenly best friends with the Chinese president after his visit, | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
and we were going to rely on the Chinese. But that seems to have led | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
to a certain amount of disillusionment and the call for the | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
Chinese to do more. Look at the other weapons in the armoury? | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
Isolate North Korea? That has been done. Sanctions? There are already | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
sanctions. Call for an emergency meeting of the Security Council? | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
America has done that today as well. If it is true that it has been an | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
intercontinental ballistic missile which has been launched, it is a | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
game changer. But for all the huffing and puffing, there are no | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
easy policy solutions. Carrie in Beijing - what is China's | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
response, what is it doing China would say that it has observed | :07:08. | :07:22. | |
UN sanctions against North Korea by most notably suspending coal imports | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
from North Korea earlier this year. It would say that it is doing its | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
best to get the parties around the table, proposing a freeze on the | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
North Korean missile programme in exchange for a suspension of US and | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
South Korean military exercises. Could China do more? Clearly, it | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
could. China controls about 90% of North Korea's trade with the world, | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
including most of its energy and most of its food imports. The fact | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
is that China is now increasingly good at getting other governments to | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
do what it wants when it takes something seriously. So, you have to | :07:59. | :08:06. | |
conclude that this is not a top priority for the Chinese on the | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
Korean peninsula. What they most wish to avoid is a reunified Korean | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
peninsula, allied with the United States. And they won't do anything | :08:18. | :08:18. | |
which threatens that. The terror attack on the | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena in May left | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
22 people dead. The youngest victim of the bombing | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
was just eight years old. Saffie Roussos, whose mother | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
is still being treated in hospital, Her family has spoken to the BBC | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
about what happened that evening she loved music, and couldn't wait | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
to see her idol onstage. You couldn't be out with Saffie | :08:40. | :08:58. | |
without having fun. It was her everything, and we bought | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
her the tickets for Christmas. She was just counting the days, | :09:01. | :09:11. | |
the seconds, and it was just Ariana Grande 'til nine, | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
ten o'clock at night, and she would so, to see how happy | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
she was, it was just... You were watching | :09:18. | :09:27. | |
her watching Ariana? She kept going, "Come on, Ashlee, | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
you promised me you would Saffie was at the concert | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
with her mum, Lisa, They were all caught | :09:35. | :09:46. | |
in the blast, just as the rest I remember I was thrown | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
to the ground, and then my next instinct, I just sort of rolled over | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
and crawled, because For you that night, Andrew - had | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
you come to the arena to collect? For just a few minutes, | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
and didn't hear anything, Just hell broke loose, just people, | :10:05. | :10:12. | |
children, screaming, crying. And then, as I turned | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
round the corner, I saw The detective that I spoke | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
to in the hospital, he went away and he came back about 12, | :10:22. | :10:31. | |
half 12, and told me. And you've all had to cope, | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
haven't you, with Saffie's loss I mean, she's got that many injuries | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
around her body, just that alone. She's like a soldier. | :10:39. | :10:48. | |
Yeah. Lisa was not conscious. | :10:49. | :10:50. | |
No. And when she came round, | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
you had to tell her. She looked at me and said to me, | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
"Saffie's gone, isn't she?" She just looked at me and said, | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
"She's gone, isn't she?" And I said, "Yeah." | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
She goes, "I knew." Do you have thoughts | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
about the person who did this? I've not seen pictures, | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
I don't want to know. If I could think about it, | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
analyse it, break it down, sort it out and get Saffie back, | :11:19. | :11:30. | |
I'd do it - but I can't. There's times when | :11:31. | :11:42. | |
you're sad, and times You met Ariana Grande - | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
tell me about that experience. I wanted to meet her to tell her | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
what Saffie meant to her, and I wanted to tell her | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
from a father's point of view that she's got | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
nothing to be sorry for. Saffie's family say she'd have | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
been a star one day. Now, her name is known, | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
but for the saddest of reasons. We have, because life | :12:09. | :12:10. | |
will just never be the same. The family of little | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
Saffie Roussos there - speaking to our correspondent Judith | :12:18. | :12:19. | |
Moritz. Even before the Grenfell Tower | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
inquiry has got underway properly, there's growing pressure | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
on the judge leading The Labour MP for Kensington, | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
Emma Dent-Coad, says Sir Martin Moore-Bick lacks | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
credibility with local residents. And the London Mayor, | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
Sadiq Khan, has also warned needs to improve relations | :12:34. | :12:35. | |
with the community. Our home editor, Mark Easton, has | :12:36. | :12:37. | |
been getting the views of residents Grenfell Tower is black with urgent | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
and unanswered questions, the community in its shadow seeks | :12:41. | :12:52. | |
answers, but many say they don't have confidence in the man | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
the Prime Minister has appointed Sir Martin Moore-Bick, | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
Cambridge-educated and called to the bar in 1969, | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
is a former judge. But his professional | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
and establishment credentials don't impress the area's local Labour MP, | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
who says he should quit now. We don't have anybody we can trust | :13:10. | :13:17. | |
there, and some of the groups are refusing to cooperate | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
with the inquiry, and what kind There is no inquiry at all if people | :13:21. | :13:22. | |
refuse to cooperate with it. These people have been totally | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
let down and betrayed. Sir Martin Moore-Bick hasn't even | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
started his inquiry, and yet Chris, a local charity | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
worker who lost a close friend in the fire, reflects | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
the views of many here. If we can't get someone that can | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
empathise or understand the feeling of the people they are representing, | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
and the people they are going to interview, | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
because he is going to interview witnesses, he needs to know | :13:52. | :13:53. | |
where they are coming from. If he doesn't have that kind | :13:54. | :13:55. | |
of background, it will be difficult for him to start to even | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
begin to imagine. The London mayor, Sadiq Khan, | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
echoed by the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
is not calling for the inquiry head to go, but says he must win | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
the community's confidence. Former Attorney-General Dominic | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
Grieve believes Sir Martin must be I think we should be a little bit | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
careful about reacting and saying that somebody else has got | :14:15. | :14:23. | |
to be provided. The problem is, once we start | :14:24. | :14:25. | |
going down this road, This community has long felt | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
marginalised from those who have power over them - | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
respect and trust are And this tragedy has served | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
to diminish those priceless In one of the flats right beneath | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
the tower, I met Beinazir, a mum with a couple of preschool | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
kids who is also a local She says the borough's Conservative | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
leader, newly appointed, also faces an uphill struggle to win | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
the trust of people in this ward. Well, I would hope so, | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
but I am quite doubtful because I already feel | :14:58. | :15:10. | |
like they are beginning This is a community still | :15:11. | :15:12. | |
grieving, still in shock. I think, what must they have gone | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
through while I was stood down here, helpless, me and my neighbours, | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
all of us were stood helpless, The emotional and physical needs | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
of those touched by the tragedy The Grenfell fire response team said | :15:23. | :15:31. | |
today it has now fulfilled the promise to offer all those made | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
homeless by the tragedy But the vast majority, | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
including this family, have not accepted what's | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
being offered to them. And then they offer you, you don't | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
like it, you don't take it, Building the strength and trust | :15:50. | :15:59. | |
needed to move forward from this tragedy is going to take | :16:00. | :16:07. | |
courage and commitment. The BBC's Panorama programme has | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
found evidence of repeated cover-ups of child sex abuse | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
in Britain's cadet forces. Victims have revealed how as far | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
back as the 1980's senior cadet leaders dismissed complaints - | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
and pressurised families into not According to the Ministry | :16:25. | :16:26. | |
of Defence, in the past five years alone, over 360 allegations | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
of abuse, both historical Over 280 have been now | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
referred to the police. And 99 volunteer workers | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
have been dismissed. Join the cadets was the message | :16:43. | :16:43. | |
in this recruitment film The youth organisation overseen | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
by the Ministry of Defence was often aimed at children | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
from deprived backgrounds. For difficult or distressed | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
youngsters coming in they can immediately identify | :17:03. | :17:04. | |
and feel secure. Tony joined the Cheshunt Sea Cadets | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
to keep him off the streets, but he was sexually abused on a trip | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
with the unit in 1981. There was a sensation and I woke | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
up and there he was. I think he was actually crouching | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
down by the bed and he stood up as soon as I woke up and I looked | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
down and I was exposed, you know, and there was no | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
doubt in my mind that... The abuser was his commanding | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
officer, Lieutenant Commander Alan Walters, then aged 33, | :17:37. | :17:44. | |
a volunteer cadet instructor When Tony's parents complained | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
they got a visit at home from senior We was ready to go to the police | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
and they convinced us we should In return for not pressing | :17:55. | :18:02. | |
the complaint, Tony's parents say they were promised Alan Waters | :18:03. | :18:09. | |
would never work But Panorama has | :18:10. | :18:11. | |
discovered that was a lie. Waters was not dismissed, | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
he was actually promoted and put He spent a further 23 years | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
with the organisation. Our investigation found | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
in Cheshunt, Glasgow Cadet leaders sexually abused | :18:26. | :18:27. | |
children in their care and senior It is being compared in scale | :18:28. | :18:35. | |
to other sex abuse scandals. In Tony's case, 25 years later | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
Alan Waters and a naval friend were convicted in India of raping | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
and abusing street children It made us feel terrible | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
because we thought if perhaps we had gone to the police, | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
we could have saved that happening. The Sea Cadets have apologised | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
unreservedly and have said the Alan Waters case is not | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
reflective of the organisation. 130,000 young people are members | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
of the three Cadet forces. The Ministry of Defence told us | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
child sexual abuse is an abhorrent crime and we have robust procedures | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
in place to protect cadets. This includes all adults who work | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
with children undergoing mandatory security and background checks, | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
rigorous disclosure procedures The MoD has so far paid out | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
more than ?2 million And you can see Panorama | :19:21. | :19:25. | |

in Northern Ireland, Most cancer patients should be | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
offered genetic tests within five years to help create more | :19:40. | :19:47. | |
effective, personalised treatments. That's the ambition outlined | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
by England's Chief Medical Officer. In her annual report, | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
Professor Dame Sally Davies says there needs to be a national network | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
of genome testing which could bring Here's our medical correspondent | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
Fergus Walsh and his report contains Could I have two | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
cappuccinos, please? Both his parents died from it | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
and he was diagnosed with colon Now, he's one of 31,000 patients | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
who have had their entire For me, hopefully, if my cancer | :20:15. | :20:21. | |
decides to come back, More importantly, it will benefit | :20:22. | :20:29. | |
a lot of other people, for future generations, | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
for better treatments, for quicker Dame Sally Davies says genome | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
testing is still a cottage industry. She wants DNA analysis | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
to be the norm for cancer Patients will benefit if we can | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
offer them the scan of their genome that'll make a difference | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
to their treatment. That's clearly all people | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
with rare diseases, of whom there are 3 million or more | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
in this country. It's most patients with cancers, | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
and quite a lot of infections. Our genome contains the instructions | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
for how our bodies work. Errors in the DNA code | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
can trigger disease. Six out of ten cancer patients | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
who have genome analysis can benefit from targeted treatment - | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
drugs which attack DNA This can spare them the more toxic | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
side-effects of chemotherapy. It costs ?680 to scan | :21:27. | :21:36. | |
a genome, and that price In some cases, it's now cheaper | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
than existing tests, The NHS believes it can protect | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
genomic information, but some are concerned | :21:45. | :21:53. | |
about the safeguards. If you're going to take a lot | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
of sensitive information from people, then you need to make | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
sure that every use of it is consensual, | :22:03. | :22:04. | |
that people have choices and can make choices, that it is handled | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
safely, that you've got security, rules that are applied around | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
who can access it. The more we learn about our DNA, | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
the greater the potential Concerns over sharing data will need | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
to be resolved if patients are to get the full benefits | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
of the genome revolution. BBC News has spoken to a man | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
in Afghanistan who claims British special forces unlawfully killed | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
members of his family. The BBC understand the Royal | :22:39. | :22:40. | |
Military Police are investigating The Sunday Times has alleged that | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
members of the SAS have killed unarmed Afghan civilians | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
and falsified mission reports Our defence correspondent, | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
Jonathan Beale reports. This report contains some flashing | :22:53. | :22:59. | |
images. This is the war that many | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
will remember from Afghanistan. British troops in Helmand | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
fighting an insurgency. But what we didn't see | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
were the secret raids that often took place at night involving | :23:11. | :23:12. | |
British special forces There are now allegations that | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
in some of these raids innocent The BBC has interviewed one man, | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
who's asked not to be identified, who claims unarmed members | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
of his family were victims TRANSLATION: We were held | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
blind-folded in a room overnight. Early in the morning, | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
the soldiers came back and said I should not go out | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
until they had left. When their helicopters had gone, | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
we came out and found they had shot my father, | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
two brothers and a cousin. The BBC's been told the raid did | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
involve special forces Others who served in Afghanistan | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
have questions about Chris Green was a reservist | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
in Helmand when he had to deal with the aftermath of another | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
special forces raid in which locals allege civilians were killed in cold | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
blood, one of a number of allegations first reported | :24:11. | :24:12. | |
in the Sunday Times. It was my view that British forces | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
and the ground holding troops that I worked with worked under very | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
strict rules of engagement and it seemed to me that | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
special forces did not. My own view of their accountability | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
was I didn't see any, so when I sought information | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
from them, this wall of secrecy The Ministry of Defence | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
says an investigation by the Royal Military Police has | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
so far found no evidence of criminal behaviour by British | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
forces in Afghanistan, with 90% of the allegations | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
of abuse already dismissed. As to specific allegations | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
against the SAS, the MoD has a long-held policy of never | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
commenting on special forces. A former head of the Army | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
is urging caution. If there is evidence of wrongdoing, | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
it should be investigated. But we should be very, | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
very careful about throwing mud Allegations of widespread abuse | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
by British troops in Iraq have But there are still questions | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
about their conduct in Afghanistan and that might involve lifting | :25:20. | :25:27. | |
the lid on the actions of Britain's The latest round of talks to restore | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
the Northern Ireland's power-sharing Executive have | :25:32. | :25:40. | |
ended without agreement. Sinn Fein has blamed the deadlock | :25:41. | :25:42. | |
on the Democratic Unionist Party's deal with Theresa May to support | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
the government in Westminster. The DUP says it wants | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
to keep working on an Northern Ireland has been | :25:50. | :25:51. | |
without a functioning devolved government since January | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
because of a dispute The new director of the Tate | :25:56. | :25:56. | |
galleries has said she wants to make them much more accessible | :25:57. | :26:04. | |
to the public and turn them into the most culturally diverse | :26:05. | :26:06. | |
institution in the world. Maria Balshaw ran two successful | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
museums in Manchester She's the first woman to lead | :26:11. | :26:12. | |
the Tate in its 120-year history. Our arts editor Will Gompertz | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
has been talking to her Tate Modern, the most visited museum | :26:19. | :26:20. | |
of modern art in the world. It is the crown jewel in The Tate | :26:21. | :26:27. | |
empire built over the past three decades by Sir Nicolas Serota | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
who recently stood down His replacement is Maria Balshaw, | :26:32. | :26:34. | |
one of the forces behind Manchester's recent cultural | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
rennaissance and this It will be different because I am | :26:41. | :26:42. | |
a different generation, I think differently from Nick | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
and some of those things Certainly, after the announcement | :26:47. | :26:49. | |
about my appointment I was approached by many, | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
many younger women who I didn't know, who would just walk up to me | :26:55. | :26:57. | |
at an opening and say, you're Maria and I just need to tell | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
you it's very important that you have been appointed | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
as director of Tate. It makes that kind of thing | :27:05. | :27:06. | |
seem possible for me. All I can observe is that | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
it's not right that it's We're on a journey that is around | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
maintaining The Tate sense of artistic adventure, | :27:14. | :27:22. | |
its great scholarship and its knowledge and making sure | :27:23. | :27:24. | |
that we are the most culturally inclusive institution in the world, | :27:25. | :27:27. | |
that's where I want us to be. I think we are about a third | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
of the way down the road. You said it's an absolutely accepted | :27:33. | :27:38. | |
fact that 50% of the people in the UK don't care about art | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
and think it's not for them. There will be a different | :27:44. | :27:46. | |
proportion, Will. That's the thing, I can't imagine, | :27:47. | :27:56. | |
in fact, I don't think it would ever get to 100% of people, | :27:57. | :27:59. | |
I am not convinced But I think we should absolutely | :28:00. | :28:02. | |
reasonably expect that 75% of the population love the fact | :28:03. | :28:08. | |
that we have a national collection, feel happy to be visiting Tate | :28:09. | :28:11. | |
and that every young person should be given an opportunity to think | :28:12. | :28:16. | |
and play and experiment in the spaces that Tate holds | :28:17. | :28:20. | |
and that is a big, big shift. No collection is perfect | :28:21. | :28:25. | |
and actually Tate's collection Are there certain artists | :28:26. | :28:28. | |
or movements or periods that you would like specifically | :28:29. | :28:33. | |
to focus on? There are some important things that | :28:34. | :28:36. | |
we'd like to address at the very There's no Holbein here, so we would | :28:37. | :28:40. | |
quite like to address that. A major Frida Kahlo would be a very | :28:41. | :28:46. | |
important thing for the collection for the collection to have, | :28:47. | :28:54. | |
given the other works The ambitious target to attract | :28:55. | :28:56. | |
a more ethnicically and socially The challenge now is to | :28:57. | :29:00. | |
realise those ambitions. World Champion road racer | :29:01. | :29:04. | |
Peter Sagan has been kicked out of the Tour de France, | :29:05. | :29:11. | |
after an incident with the British As the leaders approached | :29:12. | :29:14. | |
the finish in Vittel, Sagan appeared to elbow Cavendish | :29:15. | :29:19. | |
into the barriers, sending him, and other cyclists, | :29:20. | :29:21. | |
crashing to the ground. Cavendish was taken to hospital | :29:22. | :29:23. | |
before getting back on his bike and crossing the line | :29:24. | :29:26. | |
to finish stage four. Day two at Wimbledon, | :29:27. | :29:31. | |
and the top seeds in this year's draw have made it safely | :29:32. | :29:33. | |
through to the next round. Novak Djokovic wasn't on court long | :29:34. | :29:38. | |
- his opponent retired. But for many, today's | :29:39. | :29:43. | |
star attraction was this year's favourite - | :29:44. | :29:45. | |
seven-time winner Roger Federer. Our sports correspondent | :29:46. | :29:49. | |
Joe Wilson reports. An extra match had been | :29:50. | :29:51. | |
quickly scheduled to extend This is the love 30 | :29:52. | :29:56. | |
era in men's singles. Top four men's seeds at Wimbledon | :29:57. | :30:06. | |
this year all in their 30s. But we'd really like to know how | :30:07. | :30:09. | |
Novak Djokovic is shaping up. Trouble is, his opponent | :30:10. | :30:18. | |
could barely move. Djokovic took the first set 6-3 | :30:19. | :30:21. | |
but early in the second Martin Klizan's calf could no | :30:22. | :30:23. | |
longer support him. So, sympathy but should he have | :30:24. | :30:27. | |
entered the tournament Novak Djokovic said he'd support | :30:28. | :30:33. | |
a rule change in Grand Slams to try to encourage injured players | :30:34. | :30:37. | |
not to come and still get paid. The early end for Novak Djokovic | :30:38. | :30:41. | |
meant an early arrival for Roger Federer on Centre | :30:42. | :30:46. | |
and surely his match At 35, he is fluid and forceful | :30:47. | :30:50. | |
like only Federer can be. His opponent Alexandr Dolgopolov | :30:51. | :31:00. | |
did call for a trainer. Ankle problems, but when in | :31:01. | :31:09. | |
the second set he retired hurt, well, the crowd | :31:10. | :31:13. | |
had had enough. Federer empathised with his opponent | :31:14. | :31:16. | |
but also with spectators. I know a lot of fans also outside | :31:17. | :31:23. | |
of Britain and they've travelled a long way, | :31:24. | :31:26. | |
so I am sorry for them they couldn't see maybe more tennis today | :31:27. | :31:29. | |
but at the same time, Wimbledon, you know, | :31:30. | :31:31. | |
remains an unbelievable place for us players to play and for the fans | :31:32. | :31:33. | |
to come to. I am sure there is other great | :31:34. | :31:36. | |
things happening today. Bernard Tomic of Australia | :31:37. | :31:39. | |
lost in straight sets. Hi problem, he admitted, | :31:40. | :31:45. | |
he was just bored. Or, maybe that's truly | :31:46. | :31:49. | |
the time not to play. Newsnight is coming up on BBC Two. | :31:50. | :31:51. | |
