Police in Germany clash with protestors, as world leaders | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
gather in Hamburg ahead of the G20 summit. | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
Police used tear gas and water cannon to try to disperse a crowd | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
of several thousand anti-G20 protestors. | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
President Trump has arrived in Germany after a visit to Poland, | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
where he warned of threats posed by both Islamist terrorism | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
Today, we're in the West, and we have to say, there are dire | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
threats to our security and to our way of life. | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
Tomorrow, President Trump will hold his first face-to-face | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
meeting with the Russian President, Vladimir Putin. | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
The Iraq War - Tony Blair was not straight with the nation | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
about his decisions in the run-up to the invasion, says Sir John | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
I think any Prime Minister taking a country into war has got to be | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
straight with the nation, and carry it, so far | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
I don't believe that was the case in the Iraq instance. | :01:02. | :01:08. | |
Fragile and precarious - inspectors warn that a quarter | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
of social care services for adults in England are failing | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
And what a debut for Joe Root as England Test captain - | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
he scores a century against South Africa at Lord's. | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
And coming up in Sportsday on BBC News: It's not the Centre Court | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
debut British Number two Kyle Edmund would have dreamt of, | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
as he's beaten in the second round at Wimbledon. | :01:34. | :01:56. | |
President Trump has used his first major speech in Europe to warn | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
Police and protesters have clashed in Germany tonight, as world leaders | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
gather their ahead of tomorrow's G20 Summit. President Trump flew into | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
Hamburg after a visit to Poland, where he used his first major speech | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
in Europe to want the very survival of the West is at risk. Addressing a | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
large crowd in Warsaw, Mr Trump drew on Poland's example of fighting | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
Warsaw Well Nazi oppression. He called on the west to fight against | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
Islamist extremism, terrorism and government bureaucracy. | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
The famous port of Hamburg, tonight a disembarkation point | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
for anarchists and capitalists, anti-globalisation protesters, | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
and the leaders of the world's 20 richest nations. | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
Protesters, stones and fireworks being met by police tear | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
No such hostility when the president ventured out to Warsaw this morning. | :02:51. | :03:01. | |
Not everywhere in Europe would they chant Donald Trump's name so | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
But with its populist anti-immigration | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
government, this was politically the ideal place to come. | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
And by dint of Poland's history and geography, the | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
perfect location to deliver a message about the challenges facing | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
Do we have the confidence in our values to defend | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
Do we have enough respect for our citizens to protect | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
Do we have the desire and the courage to preserve our | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
civilisation interface of those who would subvert and destroy it? | :03:46. | :03:54. | |
-- in the face of those who would subvert and destroyed. | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
This sculpture commemorating those who | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
The backdrop against which the president | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
Today, he identified the threat as Islamist | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
extremism, but he had another target in his sights, too. | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
We urge Russia to cease its destabilising | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
activities in Ukraine and elsewhere, and its support for hostile regimes, | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
including Syria and Iran, and to instead join the community of | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
responsible nations in our fight against common enemies and in | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
That's the most outspoken he's been about Russia, and it comes on the | :04:29. | :04:37. | |
eve of his eagerly anticipated first meeting with Vladimir Putin. | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
But on Moscow's interference in last November's US presidential election, | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
something his intelligence services say is an undoubted fact, the | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
I think it could very well have been Russia, | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
but I think it could well have been other countries, and I won't be | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
specific, what I think a lot of people interfere. | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
I think it's been happening for a long time, it's been | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
But the most immediate and looming threat is | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
North Korea, testing and | :05:10. | :05:10. | |
intercontinental ballistic missile, something likely to dominate the | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
As far as North Korea's concerned, I don't know, we'll see | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
I don't like to talk about what I have planned. | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
But I have some pretty severe things that | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
we're thinking about, that doesn't mean we're going to do them, | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
One other important thing that came out of this trip to | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
Warsaw was a clear commitment to Nato's Article 5. | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
That an attack on one nation is an attack against | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
all, a welcome announcement for all those anxious countries | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
Then it was on to Germany, and what promises to be a | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
testing summit, with disagreements over North Korea, free trade, | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
And Angela Merkel and Donald Trump, who | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
met this evening, disagree on much of this. | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
The joint communique is going to be a test of the | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
Thousands of protesters are still on the streets of hamburger tonight. A | :06:02. | :06:18. | |
large security cordon has been created around the city centre to | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
stop them reaching the G20 summit venues. Police have used water | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
cannon and tear gas to try to distance -- disburse them. | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
Protesters say they are angry because leaders have failed to solve | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
many of the issues threatening world peace. Jenny Hill reports from | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
The world's leaders aren't exactly welcome in Hamburg. | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
There are tens of thousands of protesters in the | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
city, they dance to many different tunes but they are united in their | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
Then, after a peaceful afternoon, police moved in to disperse them. | :06:45. | :06:56. | |
This is now stand-off for a half an hour or so. | :06:57. | :07:08. | |
The police in riot gear, water cannon at the ready have been | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
waiting here, holding back the demonstrators, | :07:12. | :07:12. | |
Hard to say who provoked whom, but this is exactly | :07:13. | :07:24. | |
They say 8,000 extremists are targeting | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
the summit, many of them armed with improvised weapons. | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
The demonstration may be over for now, the protests are not. | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
We are shocked how the police is treating all the people and we saw | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
They are just doing their job, but maybe a | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
After all, the summit hasn't even yet gun. | :07:51. | :08:02. | |
Jon, what's the situation there tonight? | :08:03. | :08:13. | |
Well, the position is that the immediate area where we are now, the | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
protesters have cleared away about an hour ago. There was a lot of tear | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
gas in the air, riot police on the streets. You can probably hear the | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
police helicopters overhead. They've moved about a mile away from our | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
position now. But I suspect tomorrow the focus will turn to the G20 | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
summit itself, and that most on sequential meeting taking place, | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
that between President Trump and Vladimir Putin -- consequential | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
meeting. I went to a briefing big or coming out here and the President's | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
National Security adviser said there's no agenda, the president | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
will raise what he wants to raise. Will he raise the issue of Russian | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
interference in the US election? I suspect probably not, given what he | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
said earlier on today. And that's bound to fuel suspicion in | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
Washington I gain, with all these multiple enquiries going on. But | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
there are the wider issues of the G20 and we've already seen that | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
Donald Trump is disagreeing with the Russians and the Chinese over South | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
Korea. He's isolated over climate change, but may have the support of | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
the Russians on that. On trade, the president seems to be pretty much | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
alone, because there are great fears here that there could be a trade | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
war. Then you've got other issues as well, why people don't see eye to | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
eye. Angela Merkel and Donald Trump on immigration, very far apart. What | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
you see in this G20 is there are flexible alliances and some very | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
profound disagreements. Jon Sopel and Hamburg, thank you. | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
The chairman of the inquiry into the Iraq war, Sir John Chilcot, | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
has told the BBC that Tony Blair was not straight with the nation | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
and the inquiry about his decisions in the run-up to the invasion more | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
Speaking a year after the publication of his report, | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
Sir John said the evidence Mr Blair gave to the inquiry | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
was "emotionally truthful", but he had relied on beliefs | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
Mr Blair's office insists that five separate reports - | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
including the Chilcot inquiry - have found that there was no | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
Sir John was speaking exclusively to our political editor, | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
Tonight British servicemen and women are engaged | :10:21. | :10:28. | |
And the whole truth about Britain's war in Iraq. | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
We will approach our task in a way that is thorough, rigorous, fair. | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
The man charged with finding it, the man who took us in. | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
Responsibility but not a regret for removing Saddam | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
A year since his vast report emerged, Sir John Chilcot's | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
Tony Blair is always and ever an advocate. | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
He makes the most persuasive case he can, not | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
departing from the truth, but persuasion is everything. | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
There is, I argued, the responsibility of the | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
leading politician of a government, both to make the case for the policy | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
decision taken but also to balance that with realism about risks, | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
If you act simply as a one-sided advocate, | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
you risk losing that, and I think that risk became apparent. | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
But you spent years studying this intelligence. | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
The way you put it in the report and what | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
you just said suggests, as | :11:37. | :11:37. | |
somebody who spent their life in government, in public service... | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
That you feel he manipulated the evidence to make his own case? | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
Again, I'm declining the word "manipulate", | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
and using "as best he could" but it's only fair to | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
him to say that on the very eve of the invasion, he asked the then | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
chair of the Joint Intelligence Committee, can you tell me | :11:57. | :11:58. | |
beyond reasonable doubt that Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
destruction, to which the answer was, "yes, I can". | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
He was entitled to rely on that but would it have been | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
Do you feel he gave you the fullest version of | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
I hesitate to say this, rather, but I think from his | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
perspective and standpoint emotionally truthful. | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
I think he was under really great emotional | :12:24. | :12:25. | |
pressure during those sessions, far more than the committee were and he | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
was suffering, he was deeply engaged. | :12:33. | :12:34. | |
Do you believe that Tony Blair was as straight | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
with you and the public as he ought to have been? | :12:37. | :12:45. | |
Can I slightly reword that to say I think | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
any Prime Minister taking a country into war has got to be straight with | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
the nation and carry it, so far as possible, with him or her, | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
I don't believe that was the case in the | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
There were no lies, there was no deceit, there was no | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
Sir John didn't then, doesn't now, say Tony Blair intentionally | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
And the former Prime Minister's friends reject the | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
accusation that he wasn't completely straight. | :13:15. | :13:16. | |
In the report he made it clear that Tony Blair did not seek to deceive | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
the public or Parliament and to use the words | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
he was not straight, gives | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
a slightly different spin in relation to it. | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
So I think it is unfair and wrong and not justified | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
Did he do a good job in our relations with the United States? | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
The enquiry produced dramatic evidence of their close ties. | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
Our formal policy right up to the Autumn of 2002, | :13:40. | :13:41. | |
was one of containment, that was the | :13:42. | :13:43. | |
But the Prime Minister was running one of coercive diplomacy, | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
with the knowledge and support of the Foreign Secretary but the | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
Foreign Secretary hoped that diplomacy would win and not | :13:55. | :13:56. | |
I think the Prime Minister probably looked the other way | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
When you saw some of the most notable documents that emerged, and | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
I'm thinking, of course, of the note... | :14:05. | :14:06. | |
Of course,"I shall be with you whatever"... | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
What did you think of that when you saw | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
Because you're giving away far too much. | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
You're making a binding commitment from one | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
sovereign country to another which you can't | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
fulfil, you're not in a | :14:25. | :14:25. | |
I mean he didn't even know the legal position | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
So many documents like this end up simply on the | :14:31. | :14:42. | |
But the author, this time, believes the narrative of Britain's | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
misadventures in Iraq has already changed things. | :14:47. | :14:48. | |
Do you think we could ever go to war in the same way? | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
Oh, yes, in an existential crisis, certainly, no | :14:52. | :14:53. | |
question about it, but more generally, I think we have seen | :14:54. | :14:55. | |
evidence, not of a failure of nerve but of an insistence on much better | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
control of capacity, resources, before reaching | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
a decision to do something on that scale. | :15:03. | :15:04. | |
The report has brought in a new level of challenges? | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
In fact I'm assured so, and hope it's so. | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
By whom, what assurances have you had? | :15:11. | :15:17. | |
I was extremely uncertain as to what kind | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
I didn't know whether you'd get booze or | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
brick bats or even rotten tomatoes, still, we got loud applause. | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
Now the sense of relief I experienced | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
My hope is that some future minds will have been changed, | :15:35. | :15:44. | |
because you can't just say that block of volumes never existed. | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
It's standing in the way of a retreat back down the road | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
Giving too, an intensely detailed post-script for his reputation, | :15:52. | :15:59. | |
built on power, political passion and ambition, | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
So a year after the Chilcot report was published, | :16:03. | :16:15. | |
some relatives of those who died in the Iraq war have been asking | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
why Sir John has chosen to talk about it again now. | :16:20. | :16:21. | |
Our home editor, Mark Easton, has been gauging reaction | :16:22. | :16:23. | |
It was the largest protest march in British history, | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
and for many of those who took part, Tony Blair will always | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
Sir John Chilcot's suggestion he was not straight with the public, | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
whatever the official record might say, will be held up as evidence | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
Kris O'Neill was among the 179 British service | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
His family say Sir John's latest comments are to be welcomed. | :16:48. | :16:56. | |
What he says today adds strength to our case, to go further, | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
to try and bring some sort of justice to parents | :17:00. | :17:01. | |
What that will be, I don't know yet, that is still in the hands | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
Sir John portrays Tony Blair as an emotional advocate | :17:06. | :17:13. | |
for action against a tyrant, rather than a leader | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
using objective judgment, but the British UN Ambassador | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
I don't think that Tony Blair ever really wanted to go to war in Iraq. | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
He wanted to find another way, he was desperate, | :17:27. | :17:28. | |
and I worked for him on that, to find another way to persuade | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
It was only as he was dragged into it, that he realised | :17:32. | :17:40. | |
Friends and colleagues of Tony Blair have called Sir John's comments | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
The family of Alex Green, also killed in Iraq, agree. | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
To be honest, I find it really, really puzzling, and I'm wondering | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
what his motives are, because there doesn't seem to be any | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
positives at all that can come out of this and I'm stunned as to why | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
Sir John's comments have once again stirred passionate arguments | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
about the Iraq war and Tony Blair's role in it, but they've | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
also focused attention on the public inquiry process, | :18:11. | :18:12. | |
and whether an investigation that takes seven years | :18:13. | :18:14. | |
achieves its purpose, if the head then feels | :18:15. | :18:16. | |
the need to make further comment another year later. | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
I think what Chilcot has done today is draw attention once | :18:23. | :18:24. | |
again to the process by which we were taken to war. | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
Was Prime Minister Blair sufficiently open with Parliament | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
But what is really important, and I wouldn't want today's | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
illumination of this issue again to make the families of the 179 | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
people that we lost in southern Iraq think that their sacrifice | :18:42. | :18:43. | |
Southern Iraq, for our intervention, is a much better place today | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
It's 15 years since the decisions and actions which divide this | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
country on Iraq were taken, but for some they remain as bitterly | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
Laura's in Westminster for us tonight. | :18:58. | :19:11. | |
What impact is Sir John's intervention likely to have? I don't | :19:12. | :19:21. | |
think it settled the old arguments, the views held passionately on | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
either side. Tony Blair has rejected the suggestions he was somehow | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
pursuing his own version of the truth. Perhaps the real impact, I | :19:30. | :19:36. | |
think, that is likely, that to erpart of government, politicians, | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
everyone weather in the Ministry of Defence, Downing Street, the Foreign | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
Office or the intelligence service, it's a heavy reminder that their | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
responsibilities to all of us as and when the political wind moves to a | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
potential war is extremely great and they must, in his view, never make | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
the same kinds of mistakes again. Now Sir John was absolutely clear, | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
he thinks there have already been some changes in the 12 months since | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
he report was published but I think if anything he hopes that the legacy | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
of that inquiry, that remember took longer than the conflict itself, | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
will be to ensure that the military, the government machine, will never | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
again fall short in quite the same way. | :20:22. | :20:23. | |
Finding the right care provision for the elderly has become a game | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
of "Russian roulette", according to the charity Age UK. | :20:29. | :20:30. | |
It follows a new report from the Care Quality Commission | :20:31. | :20:32. | |
which found that a quarter of services in England are | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
One million vulnerable people use care services in England. | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
About 500,000 get care in their own homes. | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
And 200,000 are looked after in nursing homes. | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
Inspectors in England identified a lack of staff | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
and errors over drugs as some of the most serious problems. | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
Our social affairs correspondent Alison Holt reports. | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
Mum, can you open your eyes just a little? | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
Bernie Jarvis carefully gives her 78-year-old mother lunch. | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
Betty, who has dementia, is now back with family, | :21:02. | :21:03. | |
but she used to live in a nursing home. | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
The family put in a secret camera because they had concerns, | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
and it quickly picked up the sort of poor care highlighted | :21:13. | :21:14. | |
It showed a care worker pushing the chair Betty is slumped | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
Later, when Betty objects to her top being changed, | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
her head is slammed back into the chair. | :21:28. | :21:29. | |
Last February in court, the care worker accepted her | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
actions were reckless rather than intentional. | :21:37. | :21:38. | |
She was given a 12 month community order. | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
Because they did with us for about eight months. | :21:43. | :21:49. | |
I wish we would have pursued it a lot quicker than we did. | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
Because mum, you know, mum probably wouldn't have | :21:55. | :21:56. | |
Today's report by inspectors said most care in England is good. | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
Even so, a quarter of all services, including home care and residential | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
And 37% of nursing homes weren't safe enough. | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
Also when reinspected, quality of care in some good | :22:11. | :22:12. | |
There's good care out there, we can be confident about that, | :22:13. | :22:21. | |
but what it's saying is that some of that care is fragile | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
and it's precarious, and we've really got to concentrate | :22:25. | :22:26. | |
on making sure we shine the spotlight on poor care. | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
At a time when the number of older people and younger disabled | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
adults is increasing, this report raises serious concerns | :22:35. | :22:36. | |
about the quality of care that some are getting. | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
But those at the sharp end say it also underlines the importance | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
of rapid action to sort out how we pay for and organise | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
For individual older people and their families, | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
they're facing a degree of Russian roulette. | :22:54. | :22:54. | |
Will the care in a care home be safe? | :22:55. | :23:03. | |
Will there be a nurse in the nursing home? | :23:04. | :23:05. | |
These are such fundamental questions, and it's unfair to expect | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
older people to be facing them at the most vulnerable | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
This home in south London is rated outstanding. | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
Jane Ashcroft heads the not-for-profit | :23:18. | :23:19. | |
They've done research which suggests a quarter of people still think | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
the state will pay for their care, which she says shows the need | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
If we're still talking about this in three years, | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
that will be a disaster for people looking for services, | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
We have to recognise this is a crucial issue | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
The government says poor care is completely unacceptable and that | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
as well as putting in more money, it will be consulting on how | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
to place social care on a more secure footing for the future. | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
But the question for many is how quickly will that happen? | :23:53. | :23:54. | |
A brief look at some of the day's other other news stories. | :23:55. | :24:06. | |
Counter-terrorism police in Manchester say they believe | :24:07. | :24:08. | |
Salman Abedi, who carried out the suicide attack in the city | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
in May, was not part of a larger extremist network. | :24:12. | :24:13. | |
But officers say other people might have been aware | :24:14. | :24:15. | |
of what he was planning, and they want to question | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
his younger brother, who is in custody in Libya. | :24:19. | :24:25. | |
A man who killed two of his girlfriends, five years apart, | :24:26. | :24:27. | |
and claimed they had died in their sleep, has | :24:28. | :24:29. | |
Robert Trigg, who's 52, was convicted of the manslaughter | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
of Caroline Devlin in 2006 and the murder of Susan | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
Both women were found dead at their homes in Worthing. | :24:36. | :24:44. | |
Urgent large-scale tests have been ordered on combinations of cladding | :24:45. | :24:46. | |
and insulation used on high rise buildings, in the wake | :24:47. | :24:48. | |
So far, tests on cladding have involved only the plastic core | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
A group of prominent business leaders say Britain should stay | :24:53. | :25:02. | |
inside the single market and customs union until a final | :25:03. | :25:04. | |
The CBI says that adapting to a transitional arrangement | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
and then a final agreement would be difficult and wasteful. | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
Our business editor, Simon Jack, is here. | :25:11. | :25:17. | |
Simon, how significant an intervention is this from the CBI? | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
I think this is probably the most significant intervention by a | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
business lobby since the referendum. What they are saying is that the | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
chance of doing a full deal by March 2019 when due to leave the EU is | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
almost impossible, given that, there is no point for a two-stage process, | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
the negotiated transitional deal and a final deal. We should, until there | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
is a fully negotiated final deal in place, until the moment it is in | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
force, we should stay in the single market and the customs union. That | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
could take years and it could be controversial as it comes with | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
strings attached like the movement of people. | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
And Michelle Barnier has been saying I can hear people saying you can | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
leave the single market and keep the benefits, that is not possible or | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
leave the customs union and have a frictionless border trade, that is | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
not possible. This is a negotiation, of course he will say that say some | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
but it shows the gap between what the British Government thinks is | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
possible and what the EU says that the reality is still wide and other | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
businesses threw in with the CBI, that the best way over the gap is a | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
bridge and the best bridge is pretty much the status quo. Simon, thank | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
The largest change to the welfare system in decades - | :26:46. | :26:48. | |
Universal Credit - should be stopped until significant | :26:49. | :26:50. | |
That's the warning from the Citizens Advice charity, | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
who say it is creating financial problems for thousands of people. | :26:55. | :26:57. | |
The new credit brings together six separate benefits, | :26:58. | :26:59. | |
such as housing benefit and tax credits, into one monthly payment. | :27:00. | :27:01. | |
But Citizens Advice say people are being forced into debt due | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
Michael Buchanan reports from Somerset. | :27:05. | :27:12. | |
Before the doors have even opened, people gather at the Citizens Advice | :27:13. | :27:15. | |
Seeking help with debt and benefits, Universal | :27:16. | :27:21. | |

They want you to work, yet they won't let | :27:47. | :27:48. | |
So, this is you making a Universal Credit claim? | :27:49. | :27:57. | |
In the back room Margaret Woodward has the | :27:58. | :27:59. | |
increasingly unenviable task of helping people | :28:00. | :28:00. | |
So you're not getting an awful lot, are you? | :28:01. | :28:03. | |
Once someone claims it, any other benefits immediately stop and you | :28:04. | :28:07. | |
typically wait six weeks before receiving any money. | :28:08. | :28:09. | |
I think at the moment it's probably not fit for | :28:10. | :28:11. | |
Nobody can survive with without any income for six weeks. | :28:12. | :28:15. | |
We have people getting into rent arrears, can't pay their electric, | :28:16. | :28:17. | |
can't pay their gas, haven't got money for food. | :28:18. | :28:25. | |
At the local food bank, they say they're seeing the consequences of | :28:26. | :28:28. | |
Figures they've gathered indicate problems | :28:29. | :28:30. | |
associated with benefit changes and delays have increased by more | :28:31. | :28:32. | |
Louise Summer-Hayes has been here several times | :28:33. | :28:35. | |
Her first visit, she says, was due to troubles | :28:36. | :28:41. | |
We had to borrow money off of friends, family, come to the | :28:42. | :28:50. | |

Bridgwater was one of the first places | :28:54. | :29:03. | |
in Britain to experience the | :29:04. | :29:04. | |
A year later it is ideally placed to assess | :29:05. | :29:11. | |
the largest overhaul of the | :29:12. | :29:12. | |
The problem around here is not unemployment, as such, it is low | :29:13. | :29:20. | |
wages - people need the benefit system to top up their incomes. | :29:21. | :29:23. | |
Most people I spoke to actually support | :29:24. | :29:32. | |
the idea of Universal Credit but just need it to now work | :29:33. | :29:35. | |
One change sees housing Benefit paid directly | :29:36. | :29:39. | |
to claimants, which has led | :29:40. | :29:40. | |
The Housing Association say two thirds of rent | :29:41. | :29:43. | |
arrears are now due to Universal Credit. | :29:44. | :29:51. | |
Holly Reninhan is one of those tenants, she says problems | :29:52. | :29:53. | |
with Universal Credit caused her to build up three | :29:54. | :29:56. | |
months' of rent arrears, as well as other household | :29:57. | :29:58. | |
To cover some household bills I had to look at getting payday | :29:59. | :30:05. | |
loans and because of my money being up and down | :30:06. | :30:08. | |
each month, it's put me in | :30:09. | :30:09. | |
further debt due to me not making the payments on the loans. | :30:10. | :30:12. | |
Ministers say that Universal Credit is a | :30:13. | :30:14. | |
They say that it's moving people into work. | :30:15. | :30:17. | |
They say most claimants are satisfied with the | :30:18. | :30:19. | |
benefit and that help is available for those with problems. | :30:20. | :30:22. | |
But the increasing demands on a small | :30:23. | :30:23. | |

Cricket now - and on his first appearance as England Test captain, | :30:51. | :30:53. | |
Joe Root has scored a century against South Africa. | :30:54. | :30:55. | |
Our sports correspondent Andy Swiss was watching the action. | :30:56. | :31:06. | |
The first Test of the summer and of an era. | :31:07. | :31:08. | |
Joe Root arrived all smiles and promptly won the toss. | :31:09. | :31:10. | |
But as his predecessor helped prove, it's anything but. | :31:11. | :31:16. | |
Alastair Cook gone for three as wickets soon tumbled. | :31:17. | :31:18. | |
A rueful Root and how he made South Africa pay. | :31:19. | :31:32. | |
Magic and maturity in equal measure as he led the England | :31:33. | :31:35. | |
fightback, and soon after tea he reached his century. | :31:36. | :31:38. | |
A kiss of the badge, an ovation from his team - | :31:39. | :31:42. | |
leading by example has rarely felt better. | :31:43. | :31:44. | |
But that was just the start, as thrillingly he hit the accelerator. | :31:45. | :31:48. | |
And just when South Africa thought they finally | :31:49. | :31:59. | |
That summed up their day and this summed up Root's. | :32:00. | :32:03. | |
On 184 at the close, no England skipper has scored more | :32:04. | :32:06. | |
It just seemed to fall into place today, and when you get a life | :32:07. | :32:13. | |
early sometimes you feel like it's your day and you've got | :32:14. | :32:19. | |
One of the great captaincy debuts and a day which had threatened | :32:20. | :32:28. | |
to belong to South Africa instead belongs to Joe Root. | :32:29. | :32:30. | |
