:05:35. > :05:39.the Government line is that it's always had an open mind but in the
:05:40. > :05:43.last few weeks, new evidence has emerged. Some published in a
:05:44. > :05:46.newspaper and there's other material held by Andy Burnham, alleging
:05:47. > :05:51.criminality that he is ready top hand over to police. And there is a
:05:52. > :05:54.political issue only on Sunday the leaders of the main opposition
:05:55. > :05:57.parties at Westminster, including the DUP, wrote jient letter calling
:05:58. > :06:01.for a public inquiry into this scandal. That's highly significant,
:06:02. > :06:10.given parliamentary arithmetic these days. So with a debate due to start
:06:11. > :06:14.at twoemsd, called by -- to start at Westminster, called by a Labour MP,
:06:15. > :06:18.the Government moved. The Scottish Government has welcomed this and
:06:19. > :06:21.said it would be a UK-wide exercise. Whatever the reasons, whatever the
:06:22. > :06:26.facts, the victims and their families have welcomed what they see
:06:27. > :06:28.this, as a landmark move, but they've yet to be convinced it
:06:29. > :06:30.really will deliver the truth. President Trump's son has
:06:31. > :06:32.published a chain of e-mails, which show that he was keen
:06:33. > :06:35.to accept an apparent offer from the Russian
:06:36. > :06:36.government last year, to help his father's
:06:37. > :06:38.presidential campaign. Donald Trump Jr is promised
:06:39. > :06:40.official documents that would incriminate his father's
:06:41. > :06:42.rival, Hillary Clinton. It led to a meeting in New York
:06:43. > :06:47.between a Russian lawyer, Mr Trump Jr and two of his
:06:48. > :06:50.father's key advisors. Our chief correspondent, Gavin
:06:51. > :07:04.Hewitt, is outside the White House. For nearly six months there has been
:07:05. > :07:08.a shadow over the Trump administration, with the allegations
:07:09. > :07:12.that the Trump campaign last year in some way colluded with the Russians.
:07:13. > :07:16.But today a series of highly-damaging e-mails were
:07:17. > :07:25.published, suggesting that Russian officials were actively trying to
:07:26. > :07:31.help the Trump campaign. Congratulations dad, we love you.
:07:32. > :07:37.Donald Trump Jr was at the heart of his dad's election campaign. Today
:07:38. > :07:41.he embarked on a high risk strategy. He decided to disclose the e-mails
:07:42. > :07:44.today between himself and the publicist who arranged the meeting.
:07:45. > :07:52.The e-mails raised serious and disturbing questions. The four pages
:07:53. > :07:56.of e-mails reveal exchanges between Trump June rye, Rybarikova junior
:07:57. > :08:08.and a British pub list, Rob gol Steyn.
:08:09. > :08:20.- - - to Donald Trump Jr. The e-mail continues:
:08:21. > :08:31.In reply Mr Donald Trump Jr says: The meeting was set up by a British
:08:32. > :08:34.publicist, Rob Goldstein. Much was promised but the Russian lawyer
:08:35. > :08:41.today denied any links with the Kremlin. She was asked, why those at
:08:42. > :08:46.the meeting thought she was going to deliver any information on Hillary
:08:47. > :08:51.Clinton. It is possible they were looking for such information, they
:08:52. > :08:53.wanted the so bad lid. But the reaction from politicians today
:08:54. > :08:55.shows that these drip, drip revelations are proving damaging to
:08:56. > :09:00.the Trump administration. It's serious and this is a serious
:09:01. > :09:05.situation and one that is a long way from over. It doesn't appear that
:09:06. > :09:08.when they had information that this person might be connected with the
:09:09. > :09:11.Russian Government or a Russian national, that they didn't
:09:12. > :09:15.immediately call the FBI This is very problematic. We cannot allow
:09:16. > :09:18.foreign governments to reach out to anybody's campaign and say - we'd
:09:19. > :09:22.like to help you. It is a non-starter. What does President
:09:23. > :09:26.Trump make of it all? Today he says that his son was a high-quality
:09:27. > :09:31.person and praised his transparency. But the President is also said to be
:09:32. > :09:35.frustrated that after today the questions are only likely to get
:09:36. > :09:40.more searching. Tomorrow the President goes back to Europe, to
:09:41. > :09:41.France, determined to avoid the impression that his is an
:09:42. > :09:47.administration under siege. The United Nations say as many
:09:48. > :09:50.as 3,000 civilians remain trapped in the Iraqi city of Mosul,
:09:51. > :09:52.despite government forces declaring Skirmishes continue between Iraqi
:09:53. > :09:58.troops and so-called Islamic State. Those trapped are mostly
:09:59. > :10:00.the young or the elderly, who've become separated
:10:01. > :10:02.from their families. From Mosul, our defence

:10:05. > :10:11.the Battle of Mosul - a baby whose parents
:10:12. > :10:21.have been killed. He's one of the victims
:10:22. > :10:23.of the fight against the group He was left at this
:10:24. > :10:26.clinic, malnourished The medics here say there
:10:27. > :10:29.are many more like him. Yeah, I mean, kids,
:10:30. > :10:32.without parents, a lot of them. You know, they've either been killed
:10:33. > :10:35.by Isis or killed by air strikes There is a massive
:10:36. > :10:39.amount of devastation. That's the only way
:10:40. > :10:46.I can put it into terms. Iraq's Prime Minister may have
:10:47. > :10:48.declared victory but there's still pockets of resistance
:10:49. > :10:50.and streams of civilians trying They often collect the children
:10:51. > :11:04.of others along the way. Seeba says she was shot at by IS
:11:05. > :11:08.snipers as she tried to escape. The baby she's now
:11:09. > :11:12.holding is not hers. She said the mother and father
:11:13. > :11:19.were both buried under group. There are dozens of women
:11:20. > :11:24.and children here, waiting to be taken to safety and they're not just
:11:25. > :11:27.war weary, they are weak And if you listen, the only sound
:11:28. > :11:36.you can hear is babies crying. At West Mosul's main hospital,
:11:37. > :11:40.they're just about coping. They're still having
:11:41. > :11:42.to treat the wounded, as well as the weak -
:11:43. > :11:45.this man's barely alive And there are more
:11:46. > :11:51.orphans here, too. This is Galeb who's crying out,
:11:52. > :11:54."Where's my father?" He only stops when they manage
:11:55. > :12:03.to distract him with a game. He is crying, asking
:12:04. > :12:10.for his father, mother. I can't be his father,
:12:11. > :12:15.I can't be his mother. Even trying to identify the dead
:12:16. > :12:23.is proving difficult. Search and rescue teams
:12:24. > :12:26.are looking out for any forms of identity as they sift
:12:27. > :12:29.through the debris of war. Iraq will not just have
:12:30. > :12:31.to rebuild this city, but mend broken lives,
:12:32. > :12:33.too, Jonathan Beale, All work in the UK's economy should
:12:34. > :12:44.be fair and decent, according to a Government-commissioned review
:12:45. > :12:47.of employment practices. It looks particularly
:12:48. > :12:52.at the so-called gig economy - a growing sector of workers
:12:53. > :13:00.who currently work flexibly but do not receive employee benefits -
:13:01. > :13:02.though the review says they should. It also examines the use
:13:03. > :13:04.of zero-hour contracts and recommends that everyone should
:13:05. > :13:07.enjoy a baseline of protection. With more, here's our economics
:13:08. > :13:09.editor, Kamal Ahmed. Whatever work we do, we spend
:13:10. > :13:16.half our waking hours doing it. Steady or insecure,
:13:17. > :13:20.full-time or self-employed, high pay or low pay,
:13:21. > :13:23.the world of work is changing. Appearing alongside Theresa May,
:13:24. > :13:25.Matthew Taylor said Our national performance
:13:26. > :13:33.on the quantity of work is strong. But quantity alone is not enough
:13:34. > :13:35.for a thriving economy We believe now is the time
:13:36. > :13:41.to complement that commitment in creating jobs with the goal
:13:42. > :13:45.of creating better jobs. Flexible, work the hours

:13:53. > :13:55.whenever I wanted. And in the middle of my day,
:13:56. > :13:59.if I want to pop down to the seaside or watch a Spiderman movie,
:14:00. > :14:02.I can do that. For Felicity, it is a different
:14:03. > :14:06.story from the world I could never budget because some
:14:07. > :14:12.weeks I'd get too much work, Some weeks, I wouldn't get enough
:14:13. > :14:17.work so I just really That, actually, caused me
:14:18. > :14:20.quite a bit of stress. There are certainly many
:14:21. > :14:22.new ways of working, The gig economy, that's those
:14:23. > :14:30.food delivery drivers, those minicab drivers,
:14:31. > :14:32.there are around 1.3 million people And people with no guaranteed hours
:14:33. > :14:42.of work, on zero-hours contracts, there are about 905,000
:14:43. > :14:47.people on those. Then, there is what the report
:14:48. > :14:50.calls the hidden economy. That is the cash in hand payments
:14:51. > :14:53.to your window cleaner that avoid The report says that is worth
:14:54. > :14:58.?6.2 billion a year and should Mr Taylor said in his review,
:14:59. > :15:03.much of this new world of work is good work,
:15:04. > :15:05.but for those being Sick and holiday pay benefits,
:15:06. > :15:13.a right to an enhanced minimum wage because the work does
:15:14. > :15:18.not guarantee hours. Then there's talk of better
:15:19. > :15:20.enforcement of the present laws and higher taxes
:15:21. > :15:22.for those gig firms. Paying National Insurance
:15:23. > :15:25.for the first time, which many of them avoid
:15:26. > :15:28.at the moment. The big question -
:15:29. > :15:31.will any of this ever happen, given the Conservatives lack one
:15:32. > :15:35.important thing - a majority. You cannot give any guarantees that
:15:36. > :15:41.you will be able to pass a report like this and the recommendations it
:15:42. > :15:45.has had through Parliament? I would hope, as I said
:15:46. > :15:49.in my speech, people will see across the political world,
:15:50. > :15:53.will see the importance It is about the future
:15:54. > :16:00.of our economy. There seems little
:16:01. > :16:03.chance of consensus. Labour said the report
:16:04. > :16:06.was a huge missed opportunity, particularly when it came to not
:16:07. > :16:09.banning zero-hours contracts. We have to get rid of
:16:10. > :16:12.zero-hours contracts. Obviously, we have to get rid
:16:13. > :16:15.of the gig economy and the bogus self-employment which actually
:16:16. > :16:20.is a wonderful way for a minority of employers to avoid paying
:16:21. > :16:25.National Insurance contributions. The world, frankly, does not lack
:16:26. > :16:28.for government reviews on everything The question now, will this one make
:16:29. > :16:34.a difference or just be left to gather dust on some
:16:35. > :16:37.Whitehall shelf? Johanna Konta made history tonight,
:16:38. > :16:44.after becoming the first British woman in almost 40 years to make it
:16:45. > :16:48.to the Wimbledon semi-finals. The world number seven beat

:16:57. > :17:01.in a Wimbledon quarterfinal. Never mind the rest of her career,
:17:02. > :17:05.Johanna Konta's progress here had Where every mood, every
:17:06. > :17:13.move is scrutinised. Johanna Konta first played
:17:14. > :17:15.at Wimbledon as a junior, When her Hungarian-born parents
:17:16. > :17:20.moved to Britain, she followed. Really Konta is not a product
:17:21. > :17:25.of one nation or a tennis system but a product
:17:26. > :17:30.of her own intense motivation. Against her here, Simona Halep,
:17:31. > :17:33.a player ranked higher, capable of matching Konta,
:17:34. > :17:36.almost nothing between them. Just look at Hawk-Eye,
:17:37. > :17:41.a fraction off. At crucial moments, Konta
:17:42. > :17:48.was making more mistakes. Still, adversity is just
:17:49. > :17:53.an opportunity for resilience, The second set went
:17:54. > :17:59.to another tie-break. Deep breath, deep
:18:00. > :18:05.breath, now ex-hail. Into the third, could Konta
:18:06. > :18:11.break the Halep serve? Match point and the
:18:12. > :18:19.crowd on the brink. Listen for a scream
:18:20. > :18:26.and watch the reaction. Halep distracted, while retaining
:18:27. > :18:29.focus is everything - 40 years since you won,
:18:30. > :18:32.Virginia, 40 years. Konta says she's
:18:33. > :18:34.believed she could be a champion Regardless of whether it was
:18:35. > :18:39.going my way or not, I felt I really struck to my true
:18:40. > :18:43.self and tried to create as many I knew going into the match
:18:44. > :18:50.against Simona, that she was really not going to give me
:18:51. > :18:53.a match for free. Well perseverance was a thing today,
:18:54. > :18:57.off-court and on it and who sums it up better than Venus Williams,
:18:58. > :19:02.into another semifinal at 37 History will always hang over
:19:03. > :19:07.British players here, but the future, the present

:28:36. > :28:37.I was out, I say, oh, my God, I said thank you,
:28:38. > :28:41.I say thank you, right and left, up and down.
:28:42. > :28:43.Then they escorted me out of the building.
:28:44. > :28:45.I had to walk a few steps to the ambulance.
:28:46. > :28:49.Then I could see a glimpse of the tower burning.
:28:50. > :28:52.Antonio escaped the chaos, still he mourns neighbours
:28:53. > :29:00.Two in particular, brother and sister, that
