:00:26. > :00:29.Tests are continuing on cladding from tower blocks around the country

:00:30. > :00:32.after it was revealed every one of the 34 samples tested

:00:33. > :00:34.so far has failed to meet fire safety standards.

:00:35. > :00:38.The towers tested so far are in 17 local council areas.

:00:39. > :00:40.The tests were ordered following the Grenfell Tower fire

:00:41. > :00:52.Meanwhile, residents of four tower blocks evacuated in Camden on Friday

:00:53. > :00:54.evening are spending a second day in temporary accommodation

:00:55. > :01:06.I have to ask a supervisor whether they will let me back in. Despite

:01:07. > :01:10.being told his tower block is not safe, Roger Evans is refusing to go,

:01:11. > :01:14.believing the council is overreacting. Each time he leaves,

:01:15. > :01:23.he is worried he won't be allowed back in. How do you feel? Scared,

:01:24. > :01:27.upset, nervous, distressed. Why won't you leave? As far as I'm

:01:28. > :01:32.concerned, this building is as safe as it was last week, nothing has

:01:33. > :01:38.changed. But the council is clear, the cladding has failed safety

:01:39. > :01:41.chucks and there are other concerns. The council had been knocking on the

:01:42. > :01:45.doors of people who don't want to leave telling them that if they

:01:46. > :01:49.don't go, they risk delaying the work designed to make their homes

:01:50. > :01:53.safe. They say they could ultimately pursue a legal route to get people

:01:54. > :01:58.out but at the moment they want to use persuasion. So far, 200 offers

:01:59. > :02:01.of accommodation had been made to residents, hundreds of others are

:02:02. > :02:15.staying with friends and family but this could go on for weeks. Some

:02:16. > :02:17.hand to bed down for the night at the leisure centre. It's like

:02:18. > :02:20.starting a new life again, and how long am I going to go for? Things

:02:21. > :02:23.have not been going as smooth as they should in many people's eyes

:02:24. > :02:25.and it shouldn't happened like this. Work has already started to improve

:02:26. > :02:32.this block which wasn't evacuated. There are concerns over many other

:02:33. > :02:37.high-rises, 34 tower blocks in 17 areas have failed tests. More checks

:02:38. > :02:41.are continuing apace. I think they are doing the right thing, you have

:02:42. > :02:45.got to stay on the side of caution. You cannot play Russian roulette

:02:46. > :02:50.with people's safety. They have acted on advice of safety experts.

:02:51. > :02:54.The local government organisation says where cladding failed safety

:02:55. > :02:59.tests building will not necessarily be evacuated but it's warning all

:03:00. > :03:02.areas to prepare contingency plans so measures can be taken quickly.

:03:03. > :03:06.Simon, how is the operation to provide residents there

:03:07. > :03:16.3000 residents have been affected by this evacuation. The council says so

:03:17. > :03:21.far it has found temporary accommodation for 200 households

:03:22. > :03:25.either in hotels or here at the leisure centre, which means the vast

:03:26. > :03:28.majority of people, hundreds of them, are staying with friends and

:03:29. > :03:33.family. The big question is what happens to them after the weekend if

:03:34. > :03:35.they outstay their welcome. The council said it will encourage

:03:36. > :03:39.people to stay with friends and family as long as they count because

:03:40. > :03:43.this could go on for weeks but in reality they could be looking at

:03:44. > :03:47.finding hundreds more hotel rooms for the people affected, and on top

:03:48. > :03:51.of that it's a difficult situation for everyone concerned. There's also

:03:52. > :03:56.particular concern about the speed the tests are taking place on

:03:57. > :04:00.cladding across the country. So far 34 results have been revealed but

:04:01. > :04:06.the Government says it can process 100 day but it is reliant on

:04:07. > :04:09.councils to get the samples in in good time. Simon Jones, thank you.

:04:10. > :04:11.Simon Jones in north London. The Brexit Secretary, David Davis,

:04:12. > :04:14.has said he is "pretty sure", that the UK can reach a suitable

:04:15. > :04:17.deal with Brussels, on leaving the European Union but has

:04:18. > :04:19.suggested Britain may need a transitional arrangement

:04:20. > :04:21.if everything isn't agreed Mr Davis insisted that Britain had

:04:22. > :04:36.to be ready to walk away We have had some smiles and that

:04:37. > :04:40.never-ending handshake but behind the scenes of the Brexit

:04:41. > :04:43.negotiations, the man charged with doing a deal for Britain seems

:04:44. > :04:50.uncertain as to whether he will get one. I am pretty sure, not 100%

:04:51. > :04:54.sure, it is a negotiation. You said at the beginning of this "We are

:04:55. > :05:04.guaranteed to get a deal, you can be sure we will get a deal." We will

:05:05. > :05:07.get a deal. I'm pretty sure, but I'm not certain. What the Brexit

:05:08. > :05:12.Secretary did seem certain about was that a transitional arrangement with

:05:13. > :05:16.the EU of between one and two years would have to be done. He said if

:05:17. > :05:23.there was no deal that would be better than a punishment deal and he

:05:24. > :05:25.had promised for EU living here. We are trying to make sure every

:05:26. > :05:29.individual citizen gets their current position as it were locked

:05:30. > :05:34.in place for them so the anxiety can go. This is the real issue, it's

:05:35. > :05:40.about people's anxiety, not about the prospect of deporting people,

:05:41. > :05:43.about the anxiety they cannot stay. More details of that offer to EU

:05:44. > :05:47.citizens living and working in the UK will be laid out tomorrow but

:05:48. > :05:51.it's already been criticised by the European Commission and the Labour

:05:52. > :05:56.Party for not going far enough. The Irish border is another issue

:05:57. > :05:59.Britain wants settled. They want to have effectively invisible border

:06:00. > :06:04.between the north and south. There are technical ways of doing that,

:06:05. > :06:09.number plate recognition on vehicles, tagging of containers. The

:06:10. > :06:13.Liberal Democrats accused David Davies of inspiring as much

:06:14. > :06:18.confidence as a drunken trapeze artist and said people should have

:06:19. > :06:22.the option of turning back. If it is a bad outcome or there is no outcome

:06:23. > :06:27.and a catastrophic cliff edge, we should have the option of the public

:06:28. > :06:34.approving it or not approving it. As Britain awaits the go-ahead on trade

:06:35. > :06:39.talks, the Government is promising territory -- tariff-free trade will

:06:40. > :06:47.continue. That trade is worth ?20 billion a year but that's less than

:06:48. > :06:49.5% the value of the UK 's total imports so the trade deal is the big

:06:50. > :06:51.prize. More than 120 people are feared

:06:52. > :06:54.to have been killed in Pakistan, when an oil tanker -

:06:55. > :06:55.which had overturned Villagers in the Punjab province had

:06:56. > :06:59.rushed to the roadside after the tanker tipped over,

:07:00. > :07:02.many others are in critical Fire fighters have now brought

:07:03. > :07:05.the blaze under control. The tanker blazed for hours

:07:06. > :07:09.after the explosion. Onlookers struggled

:07:10. > :07:14.to control their grief. The blast consumed everything

:07:15. > :07:16.around it, killing scores of people in an instant

:07:17. > :07:21.and injuring many more. Nearly all the victims came

:07:22. > :07:25.from surrounding villages. The tanker had come

:07:26. > :07:27.off the road, spilling In this impoverished area,

:07:28. > :07:32.people rushed to collect it. It's thought someone lighting

:07:33. > :07:34.a cigarette may have The charred wreckage gives an idea

:07:35. > :07:39.of how many people were there. Pictures too graphic to broadcast

:07:40. > :07:46.showed bodies piled by the road. "Children were bringing buckets

:07:47. > :07:48.to take the petrol", he said. "There was a huge crowd and suddenly

:07:49. > :07:53.an enormous explosion." This man had a lucky escape,

:07:54. > :07:56.he'd already taken some petrol and then felt dizzy

:07:57. > :07:58.because of the fumes and decided not The army flew out some of those

:07:59. > :08:07.injured by helicopter. For many of the other casualties,

:08:08. > :08:10.the nearest hospitals With so many people critically

:08:11. > :08:14.injured and requiring specialist burns care,

:08:15. > :08:16.the medical services have been stretched to the limit; hospital

:08:17. > :08:23.teams working flat out to assist the injured

:08:24. > :08:25.and console the bereaved. At least six people,

:08:26. > :08:29.including three children, have been injured when a car

:08:30. > :08:31.collided with pedestrians Police have arrested

:08:32. > :08:36.a 42-year-old woman. The car mounted a pavement outside

:08:37. > :08:39.Westgate Sports Centre, where hundreds of people

:08:40. > :08:41.were celebrating Eid, Police say it is not terrorism

:08:42. > :08:54.related. Performances are getting

:08:55. > :08:56.underway on the final day Ed Sheeran will bring the show

:08:57. > :09:00.to a close on the pyramid stage Our entertainment correspondent

:09:01. > :09:11.Lizo Mzimba is there. Yes, the final day of music here is

:09:12. > :09:16.shaping up to feature a wide variety of acts. Right now on the main

:09:17. > :09:20.Pyramid Stage behind me, pop jazz artist Jamie Cullum is performing to

:09:21. > :09:26.an audience of several thousand. Later on we will see the likes of

:09:27. > :09:31.Chic and Barry Gibb. On the second biggest stage area there will be

:09:32. > :09:40.performances from Emile Sande. As well as music the other M word is

:09:41. > :09:46.mud and because appearances have been quite leave this weekend, this

:09:47. > :09:51.is the least muddy Glastonbury for close to a decade. Glastonbury is

:09:52. > :09:55.taking a year off in 2018 so when Ed Sheeran closes the festival,

:09:56. > :10:02.festival goers are hoping it will be a powerful enough performance to see

:10:03. > :10:03.them through to the next Glastonbury here in 2019.

:10:04. > :10:04.Thank you. You can see more on all of today's

:10:05. > :10:07.stories on the BBC News Channel. The next news on BBC

:10:08. > :10:23.One is at 6:30pm. Good afternoon. For those of you

:10:24. > :10:26.taking an early summer break in the week ahead, you might hear the

:10:27. > :10:32.age-old expression, you should have been here last week. A week in which

:10:33. > :10:36.we saw the highest June temperature recorded in over 41 years. At the

:10:37. > :10:37.week
