Tests are continuing on cladding from tower blocks around the country

after it was revealed every one of the 34 samples tested

so far has failed to meet fire safety standards.

The towers tested so far are in 17 local council areas.

The tests were ordered following the Grenfell Tower fire

Meanwhile, residents of four tower blocks evacuated in Camden on Friday

evening are spending a second day in temporary accommodation

I have to ask a supervisor whether they will let me back in. Despite

being told his tower block is not safe, Roger Evans is refusing to go,

believing the council is overreacting. Each time he leaves,

he is worried he won't be allowed back in. How do you feel? Scared,

upset, nervous, distressed. Why won't you leave? As far as I'm

concerned, this building is as safe as it was last week, nothing has

changed. But the council is clear, the cladding has failed safety

chucks and there are other concerns. The council had been knocking on the

doors of people who don't want to leave telling them that if they

don't go, they risk delaying the work designed to make their homes

safe. They say they could ultimately pursue a legal route to get people

out but at the moment they want to use persuasion. So far, 200 offers

of accommodation had been made to residents, hundreds of others are

staying with friends and family but this could go on for weeks. Some

hand to bed down for the night at the leisure centre. It's like

starting a new life again, and how long am I going to go for? Things

have not been going as smooth as they should in many people's eyes

and it shouldn't happened like this. Work has already started to improve

this block which wasn't evacuated. There are concerns over many other

high-rises, 34 tower blocks in 17 areas have failed tests. More checks

are continuing apace. I think they are doing the right thing, you have

got to stay on the side of caution. You cannot play Russian roulette

with people's safety. They have acted on advice of safety experts.

The local government organisation says where cladding failed safety

tests building will not necessarily be evacuated but it's warning all

areas to prepare contingency plans so measures can be taken quickly.

Simon, how is the operation to provide residents there

3000 residents have been affected by this evacuation. The council says so

far it has found temporary accommodation for 200 households

either in hotels or here at the leisure centre, which means the vast

majority of people, hundreds of them, are staying with friends and

family. The big question is what happens to them after the weekend if

they outstay their welcome. The council said it will encourage

people to stay with friends and family as long as they count because

this could go on for weeks but in reality they could be looking at

finding hundreds more hotel rooms for the people affected, and on top

of that it's a difficult situation for everyone concerned. There's also

particular concern about the speed the tests are taking place on

cladding across the country. So far 34 results have been revealed but

the Government says it can process 100 day but it is reliant on

councils to get the samples in in good time. Simon Jones, thank you.

Simon Jones in north London. The Brexit Secretary, David Davis,

has said he is "pretty sure", that the UK can reach a suitable

deal with Brussels, on leaving the European Union but has

suggested Britain may need a transitional arrangement

if everything isn't agreed Mr Davis insisted that Britain had

to be ready to walk away We have had some smiles and that

never-ending handshake but behind the scenes of the Brexit

negotiations, the man charged with doing a deal for Britain seems

uncertain as to whether he will get one. I am pretty sure, not 100%

sure, it is a negotiation. You said at the beginning of this "We are

guaranteed to get a deal, you can be sure we will get a deal." We will

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

Secretary did seem certain about was that a transitional arrangement with

the EU of between one and two years would have to be done. He said if

there was no deal that would be better than a punishment deal and he

had promised for EU living here. We are trying to make sure every

individual citizen gets their current position as it were locked

in place for them so the anxiety can go. This is the real issue, it's

about people's anxiety, not about the prospect of deporting people,

about the anxiety they cannot stay. More details of that offer to EU

citizens living and working in the UK will be laid out tomorrow but

it's already been criticised by the European Commission and the Labour

Party for not going far enough. The Irish border is another issue

Britain wants settled. They want to have effectively invisible border

between the north and south. There are technical ways of doing that,

number plate recognition on vehicles, tagging of containers. The

Liberal Democrats accused David Davies of inspiring as much

confidence as a drunken trapeze artist and said people should have

the option of turning back. If it is a bad outcome or there is no outcome

and a catastrophic cliff edge, we should have the option of the public

approving it or not approving it. As Britain awaits the go-ahead on trade

talks, the Government is promising territory -- tariff-free trade will

continue. That trade is worth ?20 billion a year but that's less than

5% the value of the UK 's total imports so the trade deal is the big

prize. More than 120 people are feared

to have been killed in Pakistan, when an oil tanker -

which had overturned Villagers in the Punjab province had

rushed to the roadside after the tanker tipped over,

many others are in critical Fire fighters have now brought

the blaze under control. The tanker blazed for hours

after the explosion. Onlookers struggled

to control their grief. The blast consumed everything

around it, killing scores of people in an instant

and injuring many more. Nearly all the victims came

from surrounding villages. The tanker had come

off the road, spilling In this impoverished area,

people rushed to collect it. It's thought someone lighting

a cigarette may have The charred wreckage gives an idea

of how many people were there. Pictures too graphic to broadcast

showed bodies piled by the road. "Children were bringing buckets

to take the petrol", he said. "There was a huge crowd and suddenly

an enormous explosion." This man had a lucky escape,

he'd already taken some petrol and then felt dizzy

because of the fumes and decided not The army flew out some of those

injured by helicopter. For many of the other casualties,

the nearest hospitals With so many people critically

injured and requiring specialist burns care,

the medical services have been stretched to the limit; hospital

teams working flat out to assist the injured

and console the bereaved. At least six people,

including three children, have been injured when a car

collided with pedestrians Police have arrested

a 42-year-old woman. The car mounted a pavement outside

Westgate Sports Centre, where hundreds of people

were celebrating Eid, Police say it is not terrorism

related. Performances are getting

underway on the final day Ed Sheeran will bring the show

to a close on the pyramid stage Our entertainment correspondent

Lizo Mzimba is there. Yes, the final day of music here is

shaping up to feature a wide variety of acts. Right now on the main

Pyramid Stage behind me, pop jazz artist Jamie Cullum is performing to

an audience of several thousand. Later on we will see the likes of

Chic and Barry Gibb. On the second biggest stage area there will be

performances from Emile Sande. As well as music the other M word is

mud and because appearances have been quite leave this weekend, this

is the least muddy Glastonbury for close to a decade. Glastonbury is

taking a year off in 2018 so when Ed Sheeran closes the festival,

festival goers are hoping it will be a powerful enough performance to see

them through to the next Glastonbury here in 2019.
