:00:52. > :00:55.and leaving messages at one of many churches in the area. A sombre time
:00:56. > :00:59.for people to reflect and come to terms with what has happened here.
:01:00. > :01:04.Michael used to live in Grenfell Tower and has come to pay respects
:01:05. > :01:09.to his friend affectionately nicknamed Moses. He is still
:01:10. > :01:13.missing. There's a lot of people grieving for him right now. My
:01:14. > :01:18.family and friends and relatives who I know of. He was a very loving man,
:01:19. > :01:24.you know. He always used to make sure that people were cared for and
:01:25. > :01:29.looked after. Yesterday the Queen met volunteers and residents in the
:01:30. > :01:34.community. And today in her birthday message that was reflected. It read,
:01:35. > :01:38.today is traditionally a day of celebration. This year, however, it
:01:39. > :01:43.is difficult to escape a very sombre national mood. Put to the test, the
:01:44. > :01:50.United Kingdom has been resolute in the face of adversity. Her words,
:01:51. > :01:58.followed by an impromptu minute's silence at Buckingham Palace. Just a
:01:59. > :02:02.few miles away the government task force met this morning to discuss
:02:03. > :02:08.how to help those affected by the fire. There is no from today on the

:02:17. > :02:22.circumstances. Police have confirmed at least 30 people died in the fire
:02:23. > :02:26.but that number is expected to rise. That will only happen when
:02:27. > :02:31.firefighters can safely make their way up into this charred building
:02:32. > :02:34.that once used to be home to hundreds of people. But the
:02:35. > :02:40.questions surrounding this tragedy remain an answer. How did it start,
:02:41. > :02:42.why did it spread so quickly and who, if anyone is to blame? Frankie
:02:43. > :02:45.McCamley, BBC News. Our political correspondent
:02:46. > :02:55.Emma Vardy is in Downing Street. We have heard, Emma, that the Prime
:02:56. > :03:01.Minister will be meeting some of those directly affected by this
:03:02. > :03:05.fire. That's right, here at Downing Street she will be meeting victims,
:03:06. > :03:09.volunteers and residents of Grenfell Tower is as the government tries to
:03:10. > :03:14.build trust with the local community. It follows a difficult
:03:15. > :03:17.few days as we have seen increasing hostility and anger towards
:03:18. > :03:23.ministers. Last night Theresa May had to leave the site of the
:03:24. > :03:25.Grenfell Tower under police guard. First Secretary of State Damian
:03:26. > :03:29.Green has come at defending her against what he says is unfair
:03:30. > :03:33.criticism over her empathy with victims. Theresa May has been
:03:34. > :03:38.sharing a task force of the Cabinet Office in the past hour. We expect
:03:39. > :03:41.to ship the outcome of that soon. Emma, thank you.
:03:42. > :03:54.Give us your sense, having spoken to people or morning, about what people
:03:55. > :03:58.are saying about the response, the coordination, the mood? They are
:03:59. > :04:01.still saying there's not enough communication, not enough
:04:02. > :04:05.coordination. There's supposed to be this government task force, they
:04:06. > :04:09.were told on the ground today but I've been talking to some volunteers
:04:10. > :04:12.who say they haven't seen any sign of it. In fact they say some of
:04:13. > :04:16.those made homeless by this disaster are still sleeping on floors and
:04:17. > :04:20.they say this isn't good enough. We saw that anger yesterday, community
:04:21. > :04:25.organisers have been saying they have been trying to calm that anger.
:04:26. > :04:29.In terms of the latest casualty figures we are expecting a news
:04:30. > :04:33.conference here, it was supposed to have been now, it's been delayed,
:04:34. > :04:37.that would have been with the Metropolitan Police commander Stuart
:04:38. > :04:41.Cundy. We may get an update on the casualty figures. The official total
:04:42. > :04:48.is 30, we understand that 70 are either dead or missing. 24 in
:04:49. > :04:52.hospital, 12 in critical care. Those figures may change when we get the
:04:53. > :04:56.latest from the police at the news conference this afternoon. Then,
:04:57. > :05:02.thank you. Ben Brown, in West London.
:05:03. > :05:05.As we heard, in a statement released to mark her official birthday,
:05:06. > :05:08.the Queen has said it is difficult to escape the sombre mood
:05:09. > :05:10.in the country in the wake of recent tragedies.
:05:11. > :05:12.The message comes in advance of the annual Trooping
:05:13. > :05:15.Our Royal Correspondent Nicholas Witchell is there.
:05:16. > :05:24.A slightly different tone all mood this year? Yes. The Queen's Birthday
:05:25. > :05:28.Parade, Trooping the Colour, normally the ceremonial high point
:05:29. > :05:34.of the summer. But this year, an expression of a nation's sadness.
:05:35. > :05:38.That was given expression to both in the minute's silence and in the
:05:39. > :05:42.statement issued by the Queen this morning. That minute of silence
:05:43. > :05:46.added to the programme at the last minute. At 10:45am as the Queen and
:05:47. > :05:50.the Duke of Edinburgh left Buckingham Palace bestowed for one
:05:51. > :05:58.minute in tribute to those lost at Grenfell Tower and also in the
:05:59. > :06:00.terrorist atrocities in Manchester and London. And in that statement
:06:01. > :06:02.which she issued this morning referring to the sombre national
:06:03. > :06:06.mood and recalling the fact that she visited Grenfell Tower yesterday
:06:07. > :06:10.herself, and Manchester last month, she says she was profoundly struck
:06:11. > :06:14.by the immediate inclination of people throughout the country to
:06:15. > :06:19.offer comfort and support to those in desperate need. So although this
:06:20. > :06:22.Birthday Parade, all the normal components, the margin guardsman,
:06:23. > :06:25.the fly past, the balcony appearance, Prince George and
:06:26. > :06:30.Princess Charlotte, this is rather subdued, reflecting on these recent
:06:31. > :06:33.tragedies. Nicholas Witchell, thank you.

:07:05. > :07:10.released this year alongside the Birthday Honours.
:07:11. > :07:12.Among this year's honours is a knighthood for the comedian

:07:15. > :07:21.PC Keith Palmer was killed in March's Westminster terror attack.

:07:40. > :07:43.He just saw Jo and tried to save her and we can't thank him
:07:44. > :07:52.Unarmed, just went in, they knew he was armed, but not a thought.
:07:53. > :08:00.I'm down on record as saying why should I learn algebra?

:09:04. > :09:07.in New Zealand where they beat the Maori All Blacks 32-10.
:09:08. > :09:09.They have just one more warm-up game before they take
:09:10. > :09:21.Rotorua, on the North Island in New Zealand, is Maori heartland. And
:09:22. > :09:29.when the Lions are in town they pull out all the stops. There are
:09:30. > :09:33.thousands of people here for this world record attempt at the hacker.
:09:34. > :09:39.What's more, they are all facing the Lions team hotel. Just another
:09:40. > :09:45.reminder for the Lions, as if they needed it, orphans to have they are
:09:46. > :09:48.on. Then it was time for the Maori All Blacks, a side steeped in
:09:49. > :09:53.culture and history to lay down their own challenge. Early on the
:09:54. > :09:57.Lions were in control but as soon as their concentration wavered the
:09:58. > :10:01.Maoris were in as once again on this tour the Lions and their slightest
:10:02. > :10:05.mistakes punished. Leigh Halfpenny rarely falters inside of the posts
:10:06. > :10:10.and his kicks took the visitors into a narrow half-time lead. Their
:10:11. > :10:14.opponents returned, keen to snuff out the danger man, illegally,
:10:15. > :10:19.according to the referee. Now with a player advantage of the Lions made
:10:20. > :10:23.their pressure count. A penalty try, their first of the match. Again they
:10:24. > :10:29.punished the Maori when they were weakest, this time Maro Itoje in the
:10:30. > :10:33.pack, keeping for the line. But with power and precision of the Lions
:10:34. > :10:36.moved out of sight. The home side dominated and defeated. A morale
:10:37. > :10:42.boosting win for Warren Gatland 's players but will they have enough to
:10:43. > :10:43.pass the ultimate test in seven days' time? Katie Gornall, BBC News,

:10:52. > :10:55.won a Test match in Sydney. They ran in three tries, the final
:10:56. > :10:58.score coming from Hamish Watson. The win sees Scotland move up
