:00:08. > :00:09.Tonight, Ireland's Prime Minister shows his frustration

:00:10. > :00:11.at the pace of Brexit talks, saying the "clock is ticking".

:00:12. > :00:15.On his first official visit to Belfast, Leo Varadkar warns

:00:16. > :00:17.against economic barriers between the UK and Ireland,

:00:18. > :00:24.At a time when Brexit threatens to drive a wedge

:00:25. > :00:27.between North and South, between Britain and Ireland,

:00:28. > :00:31.we need to build more bridges and fewer borders.

:00:32. > :00:34.The future of the Irish border is a key part

:00:35. > :00:38.of talks with Brussels, but the Taioseoch says so far,

:00:39. > :00:45.Mr Varadkar's calling for "unique solutions" to preserve links

:00:46. > :00:54.The US President calls the Russia allegations "a fake story",

:00:55. > :00:57.as his top law official says he'll crack down on leaks

:00:58. > :01:02.What should be the scope of the Grenfell Tower inquiry?

:01:03. > :01:12.Survivors have put forward hundreds of suggestions.

:01:13. > :01:15.He is a one-man world superpower! Gold for Mo Farah!

:01:16. > :01:18.Momentous Mo - Farah wins gold on the opening night of the World

:01:19. > :01:25.Lots of people say that perhaps you are doing this for the money.

:01:26. > :01:28.And we ask Neymar the ?200 million question, as the world's most

:01:29. > :01:35.expensive footballer is unveiled at his new club.

:01:36. > :01:41.Coming up in the sport later, we will have the action from the

:01:42. > :01:43.opening night of the world athletics Championships, with all eyes on

:01:44. > :02:01.Usain Bolt and Mo Farah. Ireland's Prime Minister,

:02:02. > :02:05.Leo Varadkar, says Britain must soon address the key issue of the status

:02:06. > :02:11.of the Irish border after Brexit Speaking during his first

:02:12. > :02:18.official visit to Belfast, he said he doesn't want economic

:02:19. > :02:20.barriers between Britain and Ireland, and called for "unique

:02:21. > :02:22.solutions" to preserve links He also attacked those he called

:02:23. > :02:26."hard Brexiteers" in the North. But Arlene Foster of

:02:27. > :02:28.the Democratic Unionist Party said Our Ireland correspondent

:02:29. > :02:34.Chris Buckler reports. Leo Varadkar crossed the Irish

:02:35. > :02:38.border for the first time as Ireland's Prime Minister to set

:02:39. > :02:42.out his concerns about what could He arrived in Belfast having upset

:02:43. > :02:50.Unionists with recent But, inside Queen's University

:02:51. > :02:54.today, the new Taoiseach was keen to talk about

:02:55. > :02:58.solutions, not divisions. At a time when Brexit

:02:59. > :03:02.threatens to drive a wedge between north and south,

:03:03. > :03:05.between Britain and Ireland, we need to build more

:03:06. > :03:09.bridges and fewer borders. He is a Taoiseach

:03:10. > :03:12.of a new generation. The referendum over the Good Friday

:03:13. > :03:15.peace agreement marked the first He said the challenge of this

:03:16. > :03:20.generation is Brexit, and again he challenged those

:03:21. > :03:24.he called the Brexiteers to come up with proposals to ease the problems

:03:25. > :03:28.posed by new borders. They have already had 14 months

:03:29. > :03:32.to do so, which should have been ample time to come up

:03:33. > :03:36.with detailed proposals. But, if they cannot,

:03:37. > :03:42.and I believe they cannot, then we can start to talk

:03:43. > :03:44.meaningfully about solutions For example, if the United Kingdom

:03:45. > :03:49.doesn't want to stay in the customs union,

:03:50. > :03:51.perhaps there can be an EU-UK After all, the European Union has

:03:52. > :03:57.a customs union with Turkey. In all the potential solutions

:03:58. > :04:01.that Leo Varadkar put forward for this border,

:04:02. > :04:03.there was a common theme. Free movement for people,

:04:04. > :04:07.goods and services. But will that be possible,

:04:08. > :04:10.particularly if it turns out to be There's going to be some form

:04:11. > :04:19.of border, because the UK will not want people sort of coming

:04:20. > :04:22.into Ireland, the south of Ireland, and using it as a sort

:04:23. > :04:28.of gateway into the UK itself. Ever since before, you know, I'm too

:04:29. > :04:31.young, I didn't see the border, but I can imagine that it

:04:32. > :04:33.won't be good. When people talk about the Irish

:04:34. > :04:36.border of the past, they tend to refer to the years

:04:37. > :04:40.of the Troubles, when huge security This is actually the dividing line

:04:41. > :04:46.between the countries, Northern Ireland's biggest party,

:04:47. > :04:54.the DUP, campaigned for Brexit. But they believe these roads can

:04:55. > :04:58.remain completely open. There is no binary solution to these

:04:59. > :05:01.things, and actually pejorative language like "hard Brexiteers"

:05:02. > :05:08.doesn't really work for anybody. Brexit has led to a lot of divisive

:05:09. > :05:11.language in Stormont, where the main parties still can't

:05:12. > :05:14.agree a deal to restore The DUP are very disrespectful

:05:15. > :05:19.about the vote in the north. The majority of people here,

:05:20. > :05:22.we say it loud and clear, the majority of people

:05:23. > :05:27.voted against Brexit. On this shared island,

:05:28. > :05:32.Leo Varadkar knows there are many shared interests,

:05:33. > :05:39.and the final details of the deal that sees the UK leave the EU

:05:40. > :05:42.will be important on both sides Our political correspondent Ben

:05:43. > :05:56.Wright joins me from Westminster. The status of the border is one of

:05:57. > :06:00.the key issues for Brexit negotiators in Brussels. How much of

:06:01. > :06:05.a priority is it for the UK Government? Yes, the UK and the EU

:06:06. > :06:08.both see this as a critically important part of the Brexit

:06:09. > :06:12.negotiations and both sides are acutely aware of the risks if they

:06:13. > :06:15.get it wrong. Today, the UK Government says what they have said

:06:16. > :06:21.since the referendum which is that they don't see any need for a hard

:06:22. > :06:24.border in Ireland. They want to see frictionless trade and keeping the

:06:25. > :06:28.Common travel area in place. The question of course is how and we

:06:29. > :06:32.heard today real concerns from Ireland about what they see is the

:06:33. > :06:34.complete lack of progress from the UK putting serious, substantive

:06:35. > :06:40.proposals on the table and they worry that time to talk is starting

:06:41. > :06:45.to slip away. So we heard from the Irish Prime Minister and his plan

:06:46. > :06:49.for a new customs agreement between the EU and the UK to sort this out,

:06:50. > :06:51.similar to the one turkey has with the EU. That is one idea but all of

:06:52. > :06:56.these are politically problematic here and that is something that, for

:06:57. > :06:59.instance, could cause alarm among some of the Leave supporting

:07:00. > :07:01.so-called Brexiteers in government and parliament who are very

:07:02. > :07:07.concerned about any idea that might limit the UK's ability to go out on

:07:08. > :07:10.strike its own trade deals after we have of the EU. Some have said there

:07:11. > :07:14.are pretty straightforward technological solutions which could

:07:15. > :07:16.get around the ID of border posts, something the Irish Prime Minister

:07:17. > :07:19.sounded pretty sceptical about today. I think there's a willingness

:07:20. > :07:23.on both sides to make progress and they think they can as soon as

:07:24. > :07:26.October on the Irish border question but of all the Brexit Rubiks cube

:07:27. > :07:30.issues they are grappling with at the moment, this I think is proving

:07:31. > :07:32.one of the to tackle. Ben Wright at West Minster, there.

:07:33. > :07:35.America's top legal official, Jeff Sessions, says he's determined

:07:36. > :07:37.to end what he calls "the staggering number of leaks"

:07:38. > :07:44.The stream of stories, many focusing on allegations

:07:45. > :07:46.of Russian interference in last year's presidential election,

:07:47. > :07:51.Speaking at a rally in West Virginia,

:07:52. > :07:53.Mr Trump called the Russia claims "a total fabrication",

:07:54. > :07:55.as our North America Editor, Jon Sopel, explains.

:07:56. > :08:00.Donald Trump is never happier than when he is out of Washington.

:08:01. > :08:11.An adoring crowd in West Virginia, the problems of Russia, collusion,

:08:12. > :08:19.special counsels and grand juries a long way from these country roads.

:08:20. > :08:24.Have you seen any Russians in West Virginia or Ohio or Pennsylvania?

:08:25. > :08:28.Are there any Russians here tonight, any Russians?

:08:29. > :08:34.The Russia story is a total fabrication.

:08:35. > :08:39.It is just an excuse for the greatest loss in the history

:08:40. > :08:45.of American politics, that's all it is.

:08:46. > :08:47.He didn't mention the special counsel by name but had him

:08:48. > :08:55.I just hope the final determination is a truly honest one.

:08:56. > :08:58.A grand jury is made up of members of the public meeting behind closed

:08:59. > :09:02.doors to consider the evidence that has been gathered.

:09:03. > :09:06.They can force people to testify or to hand over evidence.

:09:07. > :09:08.They will decide whether the material is strong enough

:09:09. > :09:13.But crucially, they don't decide if a potential defendant

:09:14. > :09:22.Of course, it may be the grand jury meeting at this courthouse will come

:09:23. > :09:25.to the conclusion that the evidence doesn't add up to much and there

:09:26. > :09:31.But the fact that a grand jury has been called is a sign that this

:09:32. > :09:35.investigation is intensifying and will last a good

:09:36. > :09:44.And the other worry for the Trump entourage is that the scope

:09:45. > :09:50.Another is the endless damaging and revealing leaks

:09:51. > :09:53.Today, the Attorney General announced a new crackdown.

:09:54. > :10:01.This nation must end this culture of leaks.

:10:02. > :10:03.We will investigate and seek to bring criminals to justice.

:10:04. > :10:06.We will not allow rogue anonymous sources with security clearances

:10:07. > :10:11.He has been under tremendous pressure.

:10:12. > :10:13.The president last week humiliated his Attorney General,

:10:14. > :10:20.This was much more muscular, with an attack on the media, too.

:10:21. > :10:23.We respect the important role that the press plays

:10:24. > :10:26.and we will give them respect but it is not unlimited.

:10:27. > :10:31.They cannot place lives at risk with impunity.

:10:32. > :10:35.The president today visited FEMA, the Federal Emergency Center,

:10:36. > :10:37.to look at plans for dealing with hurricanes.

:10:38. > :10:46.And then he was off on his holidays, two weeks at one of his golf

:10:47. > :10:49.resorts in New Jersey and hoping that a storm whipped

:10:50. > :10:51.up by the grand jury does not barrel down on him.

:10:52. > :10:55.Residents who survived the Grenfell Tower disaster

:10:56. > :10:57.had their final chance today to submit ideas for the scope

:10:58. > :11:02.and remit of the public inquiry into the tragedy.

:11:03. > :11:06.330 submissions are thought to have been made, but some campaigners

:11:07. > :11:08.still fear the inquiry won't be wide-ranging enough.

:11:09. > :11:13.Our Home Affairs Correspondent, Tom Symonds, reports.

:11:14. > :11:19.Day after day, the names of the Grenfell victims are confirmed.

:11:20. > :11:23.Today, Fatima Choukair, just 11, Hashim Kedir, a favourite uncle,

:11:24. > :11:33.This man, the chairman of the Grenfell Tower inquiry,

:11:34. > :11:36.Sir Martin Moore-Bick, has to answer those questions but,

:11:37. > :11:38.when he asked the community what other topics he should

:11:39. > :11:43.This is why it's so important to get the terms of reference right

:11:44. > :11:46.and for you to tell me what you think it should cover.

:11:47. > :11:49.We did, and then you dismissed them on TV.

:11:50. > :11:52.I think you've misremembered what I said.

:11:53. > :11:55.Thomasina Hessell's been in a hotel since the fire,

:11:56. > :12:00.caught between her old life before Grenfell and an unknown new one.

:12:01. > :12:03.This is what she wants from the inquiry.

:12:04. > :12:06.For the community, we need specific answers

:12:07. > :12:10.We need that closure to start healing.

:12:11. > :12:13.But the underlying, broader issues behind this,

:12:14. > :12:16.social housing issues, fire regulations, building

:12:17. > :12:18.regulations, the idea that the government is putting

:12:19. > :12:23.profits before people, these are nationwide issues.

:12:24. > :12:26.The judge has to achieve a balance between those wider issues,

:12:27. > :12:29.potentially a huge task, and simply explaining the fire,

:12:30. > :12:35.Next week, he'll make his private recommendations

:12:36. > :12:41.Two weeks from now, she's expected to make public her decisions

:12:42. > :12:43.on the inquiry's remit, and she has the final decision.

:12:44. > :12:46.In September, the inquiry's due to begin work and, within a year,

:12:47. > :12:51.the chairman says he will produce an interim report.

:12:52. > :12:55.It's the judge's job, of course, to find the facts of this tragedy,

:12:56. > :12:59.but the police will have to prosecute anyone responsible,

:13:00. > :13:04.and it's likely their job will take priority which means,

:13:05. > :13:07.if there are prosecutions, the inquiry could be delayed.

:13:08. > :13:10.But keeping the community onside could be one

:13:11. > :13:14.There's a lot of anger, there's a lot of emotion,

:13:15. > :13:16.and I entirely understand why it should be so.

:13:17. > :13:18.We're going to continue to work with them.

:13:19. > :13:21.While remaining impartial, his critics say that doesn't

:13:22. > :13:27.mean he has to ignore the community's feelings.

:13:28. > :13:29.The community has a right to be part of the process.

:13:30. > :13:32.That does not compromise impartiality at all.

:13:33. > :13:42.Last night, there was another reminder of what's at stake,

:13:43. > :13:46.a second fire at a tower block in Dubai, which has cladding blamed

:13:47. > :13:53.This time, the building was evacuated quickly.

:13:54. > :13:55.Not so here - one of the world's worst tower block

:13:56. > :14:00.Now the struggle for an explanation begins.

:14:01. > :14:04.Tom Symonds, BBC News, at Grenfell Tower.

:14:05. > :14:07.Let's take a look at some of the day's other top stories.

:14:08. > :14:11.The Royal Bank of Scotland was back in profit in the six months to June,

:14:12. > :14:14.the first time it's been in the black since 2014.

:14:15. > :14:17.The bank, which is still mostly owned by taxpayers, made a recorded

:14:18. > :14:19.profit of ?939 million, compared with a ?2 billion loss

:14:20. > :14:28.Airlines are urging British holidaymakers in Europe

:14:29. > :14:30.to allow extra time to get through security and passport

:14:49. > :14:50.The head of the family courts in England and Wales

:14:51. > :14:54.said, if a safe place wasn't found for the girl on her release

:15:00. > :15:03.Sales of new cars have fallen for the fourth month in a row.

:15:10. > :15:12.During the trial, the four men blamed a former colleague,

:15:13. > :15:13.PC Adrian Pogmore, who'd already admitted misconduct

:15:14. > :15:31.For many, there's disbelief that hundreds of millions of pounds have

:15:32. > :15:34.But the man himself, the Brazilian star Neymar,

:15:35. > :15:37.faced the press today, and denied his move from Barcelona

:15:38. > :15:38.to Paris St-Germain was motivated by money.

:15:39. > :15:40.It's estimated, after tax, he'll get more than half

:15:41. > :15:43.a million pounds a week, and he's been speaking to our Sports

:15:44. > :15:48.Neymar, finally in Paris with a ball and the world at his feet.

:15:49. > :15:50.At ?200 million, his transfer from Barcelona

:15:51. > :15:57.But when wages and bonuses are included, the final bill will be

:15:58. > :16:04.But, speaking to me today, the Brazilian star insists

:16:05. > :16:07.he has followed his heart, not his wallet.

:16:08. > :16:10.Lots of people are saying that perhaps you are doing

:16:11. > :16:12.this for the money, that that is your motivation.

:16:13. > :16:20.TRANSLATION: I have nothing to tell, to say to those people.

:16:21. > :16:29.They don't know my life and I regret that they think that way.

:16:30. > :16:33.I didn't come over here for the money.

:16:38. > :16:42.On the Champs-Elysees this morning, fans were happy to part

:16:55. > :16:58.But its president thinks he has bagged a bargain.

:16:59. > :17:01.I would love to see, you know, in one year, and then,

:17:02. > :17:08.Today, until now, just in five hours, we sold already merchandise,

:17:09. > :17:10.like half a million euros, and this is just for

:17:11. > :17:14.Nice little bit of skill from Neymar!

:17:15. > :17:18.Neymar has been a star for both club and country from a young age

:17:19. > :17:21.but critics of this megadeal point to the vast sums involved

:17:22. > :17:24.and there are questions, too, over whether he is merely a pawn

:17:25. > :17:29.in Qatar's efforts to spread its influence across the globe.

:17:30. > :17:32.The man at the centre of it all, though, told me he has come

:18:31. > :18:38.Our correspondent, James Cook, is in Vegas.

:18:39. > :18:46.What are we expecting from the court? We are expecting a relatively

:18:47. > :18:51.short procedural hearing today, a first hearing from Marcus, and at

:18:52. > :18:56.this hearing, he will be given the opportunity to hear again the

:18:57. > :19:02.charges against him, and then the case will move on. The big decision

:19:03. > :19:06.will be whether or not he is kept in custody there and transferred to

:19:07. > :19:10.Wisconsin, where the indictment has been laid against him, where an FBI

:19:11. > :19:14.team was tested best game -- was investigating the alleged crime for

:19:15. > :19:17.two years, or whether he will be released and allowed to make his own

:19:18. > :19:22.way there. It will be up to the judge to make that decision. He was

:19:23. > :19:28.arrested here just minutes before he was due to fly back to the UK from

:19:29. > :19:32.the United States, and his arrest has caused consternation within the

:19:33. > :19:35.cyber security is community. Many people don't think the charges

:19:36. > :19:39.against him will stand up and they are worried this will damage

:20:51. > :20:57.had been laid down. Can he hold them off? He's done it before. When he

:20:58. > :21:02.went to the final lap in the lead, it was never in doubt. Mo Farah is

:21:03. > :21:14.going to win it! Another world title! The London crowd brought him

:21:15. > :21:17.home. What a race. What a legacy. I got a bit emotional at the start and

:21:43. > :21:44.The time wasn't spectacular, but it didn't have to be,

:23:05. > :23:08.greatest distance runner of all time? It's hard to argue against
