27 high rise buildings around the country have failed fire safety | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
tests on their external cladding, according to latest | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
Thousands of buildings - including some schools and hospitals | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
are now being checked following the Grenfell | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
One council in North London has defended its decision to evacuate | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
four tower blocks at extremely short notice, moving hundreds of people | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
Our correspondet Richard Lister reports. | :00:39. | :00:52. | |
Why was we all ordered to be evacuated at 8.30 at night. Tempers | :00:53. | :01:00. | |
were running high today, the leader of Camden Council took the brunt of | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
the frustration from people evacuated overnight. I am being told | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
they can't rehouse me because I've got a dog. A hotel place was found | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
for this woman, and her dog, but there are thousands of others, | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
people and pets, facing weeks of uncertainty. More than 100 spent the | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
night at this leisure centre. The cladding at four of these blocks | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
is similar to that on Grenfell Tower, but it was issues with gas | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
pipes and fire doors that made the Fire Service demand an evacuation. | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
They said there was nothing that we could do to guarantee residents' | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
safety that night. In that situation, you know, given the | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
circumstances we are in, I thought we had to act swiftly. | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
Peter who is 94 had to leave the flat he has had for almost 50 years. | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
I felt sorry for people who are a lot worse than me, especially with | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
children. They have to carry on. But there are at least 80 flats | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
where residents are refusing to leave. I really cried last night. | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
The council officials came to the door, banging on the door, get out, | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
get out, but the chap round the hallway said she's not going, she is | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
getting on for 80. She can't go anywhere, she's got a cat. Work is | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
under way to fix the faults but it will take weeks to complete. The | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
residents of this tower block feel themselves to be in limbo, unsure of | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
just how dangerous this building is s and how long they might be | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
excluded from their homes. In some cases it is possible to take | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
mitigating action and the Fire Service are content that the blocks | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
are safe, in others it has been necessary for people to move out on | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
a temporary basis, that is what happened in Camden last night. | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
Most living in these blocks have been back to get enough for an | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
extended stay somewhere else, even as others argue there is no need to | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
Local authorities across the UK are working urgently to identify | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
Fire safety officers are carrying out inspections , | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
with suspect cladding sent for independent testing. | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
The government has promised to meet the costs but some councils | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
are warning they need more help, as Duncan Kennedy reports. | :03:09. | :03:17. | |
No amount of days that pass can ease the hurt of loss felt by those left | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
bereft by the Grenfell fire. In silence and in unity volunteers and | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
families of some of those who died gathered today, near the tower to | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
reflect. Not since the Second World War have | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
so many buildings been subject to checks in the aftermath of a single | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
fire. 27 blocks have failed safety | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
inspections across 15 councils. Birmingham says the Government must | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
help pay for it. Retrofitting of sprinklers should be one of our | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
responses here, and when your Chief Fire Officer of your region tells | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
you that, clearly as the leader of a city you have to listen to that so | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
we started to look at the figures and it comes round ?31 million. | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
Manchester, Plymouth, Hounslow and Portsmouth are many others are | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
facing huge bills. The Government insists it will help on a case by | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
case basis. If they need financial support, not | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
all will need it, if they need it we will work with them to make sure | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
they have the resours to do this necessary work, absolutely. That | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
will not be put at risk. The Grenfell fire was reflected | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
today, at Glastonbury, Jeremy Corbyn appeared on the permid stage | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
pressing for what he calls a national Government response. | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
Is it right that so many people are frightened of where they live at the | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
moment, having seen the horrors of what happened in Grenfell Tower? | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
Away from the crowds in west London, the fire continues to draw people to | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
reflect on the disaster, and the difficulties being felt. And what | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
all this means, is that in the ten day since Grenfell, the lives of | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
literally thousands and thousands of people have been affected. And with | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
more testing on cladding, fire door, pipes, and other buildings still to | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
come, those numbers will almost certainly increase. | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
As those checks continue, resources everywhere are being put under huge | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
pressure, the one capacity there is no shortage of is sympathy. | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
A cyber attack on the Houses of Parliament has targeted the email | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
accounts of some MPs and members of the House of Lords. | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
The parliamentary authorities said unauthorised attempts had been made | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
to access some accounts, and measures had been taken | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
Trading standards officers are investigating claims | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
that the car hire company, Europcar, has been deliberately | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
over-charging some customers for repairs. | :05:54. | :05:54. | |
The offices of the firm in Leicester were raided yesterday after a number | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
Iraq's Prime Minister has said the city of Mosul will be liberated | :05:58. | :06:07. | |
from so called Islamic State militants within days. | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
Around 400 IS fighters are surrounded in the centre of | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
Our correspondent Orla Guerin, along with her team Nicholas Ham-eon | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
and Firle Davies, have been to the front line in Mosul's | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
old city - their report contains images you may find distressing. | :06:20. | :06:31. | |
A journey to the front line. Our windscreen a reminder of the dangers | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
ahead. Our escort, from Iraq's elite | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
counter-terrorism force. Snaking forward towards an enemy that is | :06:44. | :06:51. | |
still inflicting casualties. Like this wounded soldier, being | :06:52. | :06:59. | |
rushed away as we arrived. And families fleeing too. On foot. | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
Escaping hunger and fear, and a beloved city robbed of life. | :07:07. | :07:15. | |
No food. No water. Mosul dead. This is the old city area, it is really | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
the heart of the battle, and when you look around here you get a real | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
sense of how fierce the fighting has been, the damage is immense. In | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
every direction. The narrow streets are tight squeeze | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
as troops close in on the last pockets of IS resistance. We were | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
told the militants were just 300 metres away. Some on the receiving | :07:41. | :07:50. | |
end of an Iraqi missile strike. The extremists are facing defeat | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
here, but it has taken three years to get this far. And immense damage | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
has been done to the fabric of Mosul, and the unity of Iraq. | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
In China more than 120 people are missing after a massive | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
landslide in the far west of the country. | :08:11. | :08:11. | |
It happened in a village in Sichuan province after the side | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
of a mountain collapsed following days of heavy rain. | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
Five bodies have been pulled from the rubble so far. | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
President Shee has urged rescue workers to spare no effort | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
Rugby now, and the British and Irish Lions rose | :08:22. | :08:31. | |
to the challenge, but the All Blacks were imperious in the first | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
test in Auckland - New Zealand won by 30 points to 15, | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
continuing their 23-year unbeaten run at Eden Park. | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
Our sports correspondent, Katie Gornall, was there. | :08:40. | :08:49. | |
They're the team with the hopes of four nations on their shoulders. | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
The Lions may be guests in New Zealand, but they don't | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
Recent results have given these fans genuine hope, but no-one thinks | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
Many here will remember the 2005 series in New Zealand, | :08:59. | :09:07. | |
a whitewash the Lions would rather forget. | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
Once again, this was a tale of underdogs. | :09:13. | :09:13. | |
Unfancied by almost everyone at the start of the tour, | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
The Lions made a ferocious start, but they faced | :09:17. | :09:25. | |
A forward on the wing, well, this is New Zealand, | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
They stood firm and wriggled from the All Blacks' grasp. | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
One of the greatest Lions' test tries finished by Shaun O'Brien | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
13-8 at half-time, but the All Blacks ran | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
through the tourists' defence as few sides can. | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
The Lions forced to admire New Zealand's best at their best. | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
Mistakes were creeping in and New Zealand were lurking. | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
The 20-year-old wasn't even born the last time | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
The All Blacks haven't played champagne rugby and throwing | :10:01. | :10:08. | |
In fairness they were very direct up front, and so we need to make sure | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
we are better in those areas in terms of combatting | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
They are down but not out, although right now | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
Rugby Union's North-South divide seems wider than ever. | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
I'll be back with the team here for the late news at 10.20 - | :10:28. | :10:30. |
