:00:24. > :00:26.There'll be a trade deal and it'll be

:00:27. > :00:31.Donald Trump's words to Theresa May this morning as the US president met

:00:32. > :00:34.the Prime Minister at the G20 conference in Hamburg.

:00:35. > :00:37.Mr Trump stressed the special relationship he's developed

:00:38. > :00:41.with Mrs May and said the deal would be done quickly.

:00:42. > :00:44.Mr Trump also suggested he would be visiting Britain despite previous

:00:45. > :00:45.reports than he wanted the visit put off.

:00:46. > :00:56.Our Deputy Political editor John Pienaar reports.

:00:57. > :01:01.Theresa May was counting on warm words. Promises of good will. And

:01:02. > :01:06.today the president had plenty of both. She sees the US relationship

:01:07. > :01:12.is key to successful Brexit. He is keen to show that he's open to free

:01:13. > :01:15.trade with a major ally. When it came to encouraging language the

:01:16. > :01:17.president clearly was feeling generous. I would like to thank

:01:18. > :01:24.Prime Minister made for being with us. We had tremendous talks, there

:01:25. > :01:31.is no country that could be closer than our two countries. And I want

:01:32. > :01:34.to say thank you very much. We are working for a trade deal which will

:01:35. > :01:41.be a very big deal for both countries. And I think we will have

:01:42. > :01:44.that done very quickly. It was not all so friendly, Theresa May also

:01:45. > :01:49.urged him to drop opposition to the climate change treaty. But trade is

:01:50. > :01:54.the priority and he was still planning a visit. Though not

:01:55. > :01:59.everyone will be as happy as Theresa May to see him. Until then worth

:02:00. > :02:03.cultivating the US friendship with the president, his family and

:02:04. > :02:08.advisers. His daughter Ivanka Trump is both. Meeting the Japanese leader

:02:09. > :02:12.was also important, Shinzo Abe has done a trade deal with the EU and

:02:13. > :02:17.the UK would like one just as favourable. Warm words about trade

:02:18. > :02:22.and cooperation can be comforting, even political useful at a summit

:02:23. > :02:26.like this but striking deals with America, India, anyone, will take

:02:27. > :02:30.hard bargaining and plenty of British businessmen, government

:02:31. > :02:34.officials and even the own chance of Theresa May will need to be

:02:35. > :02:39.convinced that agreements around the world could even compensate for a

:02:40. > :02:41.tough, even a harsh deal with the EU. The Prime Minister insists it

:02:42. > :02:47.can be done. They have been ugly scenes in the streets outside.

:02:48. > :02:51.Violent protests against the wealth and power gathered here. A harsh

:02:52. > :02:53.contrast with a comparatively calm summit. Even one that was not quite

:02:54. > :02:56.as friendly as it seemed. Let's speak to our Diplomatic

:02:57. > :03:07.Correspondent James Robbins. What is your reading of Donald

:03:08. > :03:12.Trump's commitment to this trade deal with the UK? Let's remind

:03:13. > :03:17.ourselves that President Trump described Brexit as a beautiful

:03:18. > :03:21.thing. He said it was an inspiration to his own campaign to be elected as

:03:22. > :03:25.president of the US. So perhaps no surprise that he was so willing to

:03:26. > :03:31.meet the needs of Downing Street for a positive, positive restatements to

:03:32. > :03:38.now Prime Minister in Theresa May that America is intending to press

:03:39. > :03:41.ahead with a UK trade deal to take the place of the multilateral

:03:42. > :03:45.agreements existing within the EU framework. That is as soon as

:03:46. > :03:50.Britain leaves the EU. But of course this is a statement and getting that

:03:51. > :03:55.as an agreed deal could be more difficult. And what of other issues

:03:56. > :04:02.on the agenda, what impact is Donald Trump having on those? I think drug

:04:03. > :04:06.this summer Donald Trump is central frankly to the deadlocks and

:04:07. > :04:09.divisions of this summit. They're not reconciled on climate change,

:04:10. > :04:14.something that Theresa May raised with him and frankly Angela Merkel

:04:15. > :04:19.is struggling to find a form of words for the final concluding

:04:20. > :04:23.summit text which somehow can square away President Trump and his

:04:24. > :04:27.rejection of the Paris climate agreement with the overwhelming

:04:28. > :04:31.feeling of the others that nothing must be done or said in the text

:04:32. > :04:37.which seems to weaken that agreement. So a very tough summit

:04:38. > :04:42.and all the divisions with America coming to the fore.

:04:43. > :04:45.There are reports this lunchtime that Iraqi forces are on the verge

:04:46. > :04:49.of recapturing the city of Mosul from so called Islamic State.

:04:50. > :04:52.There's been no formal announcement but one is expected with hours.

:04:53. > :04:54.These latest pictures just in show soldiers and civilians

:04:55. > :04:58.The strategically important city of Mosul has been

:04:59. > :05:06.London Fire Brigade says its changing the number and type

:05:07. > :05:09.of fire engines it routinely deploys to tower block fires.

:05:10. > :05:12.It follows an investigation by the BBC's Newsnight that found

:05:13. > :05:15.that no high ladder engine was sent in the first wave of engines sent

:05:16. > :05:19.to Grenfell Tower fire which has so far claimed 80 lives.

:05:20. > :05:21.The Fire Brigades Union says the extra height provided by such

:05:22. > :05:24.an engine would have helped fight the ire more effectively

:05:25. > :05:41.Braving the flames just before one o'clock. Fire Services were on the

:05:42. > :05:45.scene in minutes from being called but firefighters said that they

:05:46. > :05:49.lacked equipment and sufficient water pressure when tackling what

:05:50. > :05:55.became an inferno at Grenfell Tower. It took more than 30 minutes for a

:05:56. > :06:01.high ladder to arrive at the 67 metre high blog according to a BBC

:06:02. > :06:04.Newsnight investigation. One was not automatically send. One fire union

:06:05. > :06:10.official believes if it had arrived earlier it could have made a

:06:11. > :06:13.difference. I have spoken to aerial appliance operators in London who

:06:14. > :06:18.drive and operate those appliances and who attended the incident, who

:06:19. > :06:21.think that having that on the first attendance might have made a

:06:22. > :06:27.difference because it allows you to operate a very powerful water tower

:06:28. > :06:31.from outside the building. It has also emerged there was no platform

:06:32. > :06:35.tall enough in London to suit a building of this size and help with

:06:36. > :06:40.the rescue effort so one had to be set from Surrey. London Fire Brigade

:06:41. > :06:45.has now changed his procedures so that a high ladder is automatically

:06:46. > :06:50.sent to any tower fire straightaway. Other fire brigades now may follow

:06:51. > :06:53.suit and Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service announced a change in

:06:54. > :06:57.their policy so that the high ladder is automatically dispatched to a

:06:58. > :07:00.tower block fire. Newsnight was also told but firefighters struggled with

:07:01. > :07:08.water pressure problems and called Thames Water to increased pressure

:07:09. > :07:10.in the area. Thames Water said any suggestion that there was low

:07:11. > :07:15.pressure during this appalling tragedy is categorically false. But

:07:16. > :07:20.questions remain as to what was in place as firefighters first rushed

:07:21. > :07:23.in to help the residents of Grenfell Tower that night. Even though some

:07:24. > :07:26.answers may not come until the public enquiry it seems that

:07:27. > :07:27.pressure for more precautions in the future means changes are already

:07:28. > :07:31.underway. Hundreds of thousands of people

:07:32. > :07:34.are expected to attend the Pride in London march, which gets

:07:35. > :07:36.underway this lunchtime. This year the event is marking

:07:37. > :07:39.the 50th anniversary of the first partial decriminalisation

:07:40. > :07:44.of homosexuality in 1967. Wyre Davies is in London's Oxford

:07:45. > :07:57.Street where the march It looks lively. Indeed, the 45th

:07:58. > :08:03.annual celebration in the capital of diversity and equality. Pride this

:08:04. > :08:08.year marking 50 years since the partial decriminalisation of

:08:09. > :08:12.homosexuality in England and Wales, 26,000 official participants in ten

:08:13. > :08:15.three this year and a 2 million people spectating as it winds

:08:16. > :08:21.through central London. The festival will be officially opened by members

:08:22. > :08:24.of the emergency services, many of whom served at Grenfell Tower and

:08:25. > :08:27.during the terror attacks on Westminster Bridge and London Bridge

:08:28. > :08:31.was the security is a big issue this year. This will have the biggest

:08:32. > :08:35.police presence of any pride festival. Of course amid these

:08:36. > :08:39.accusations from some quarters that it has become a bit too commercial,

:08:40. > :08:43.the parade is as colourful as ever this year and seems to have lost

:08:44. > :08:46.none of its spontaneity. It was a nail biting battle that

:08:47. > :08:49.went down to the wire but in the end it was honours even

:08:50. > :08:52.as the British Lions ended their three match series

:08:53. > :09:07.in New Zealand with a 15-all draw Rugby is part of the fabric of New

:09:08. > :09:11.Zealand. Almost everyone here is a fan although today the All Blacks

:09:12. > :09:15.seemed a little outnumbered. The Lions have arrived helpful and

:09:16. > :09:19.determined to leave with more than just memories. The lines are

:09:20. > :09:22.confident they are the underdogs, everywhere you look there are

:09:23. > :09:26.reminders that New Zealand are the reigning double world champion. And

:09:27. > :09:32.they will not be letting that trophy go without a fight. But in six weeks

:09:33. > :09:36.the British and Irish Lions have transformed from no hopers into a

:09:37. > :09:41.genuine threat. The fortress invaded by red Army. It would set the tone

:09:42. > :09:45.for a breathless first half, the pace not always matched with

:09:46. > :09:48.precision. That would come from the All Blacks Beauden Barrett who

:09:49. > :09:55.picked out his younger, taller brother to set up the opening score.

:09:56. > :09:59.Try finished by Ngani Laumape. The New Zealand captain made his 100th

:10:00. > :10:02.appearance but it weathered debutants stealing the limelight as

:10:03. > :10:07.Jordie Barrett made his first test start one to remember the All Blacks

:10:08. > :10:11.dominance was not reflected in the scoreline, the Lions were kept

:10:12. > :10:14.within reach as Elliot Daly kit for the horizon. New Zealand strain

:10:15. > :10:20.every sting you to hold back the line. They had hoped from this

:10:21. > :10:23.yellow but playing here is a test of nerves and Owen Farrell could never

:10:24. > :10:28.be folded there. This was the kick to level the match. A refereeing

:10:29. > :10:32.decision denied the All Blacks a chance of victory, a draw perhaps

:10:33. > :10:34.the fitting into a thrilling series. But for the Lions a sense of what

:10:35. > :10:35.might have been remains. Some other brief sports

:10:36. > :10:37.news before we go. England's cricketers have taken two

:10:38. > :10:40.early wickets on the third day of the opening Test

:10:41. > :10:43.against South Africa at Lord's. Liam Dawson removed

:10:44. > :10:45.Kagiso Rabada for 27, And after making his half-century,

:10:46. > :10:52.Temba Bavuma is also out - caught by Ben Stokes off the bowling

:10:53. > :10:55.of Moeen Ali. Romelu Lukaku appears to be heading

:10:56. > :11:05.for Manchester United, despite a late bid from his

:11:06. > :11:09.former club Chelsea. United are reported to have agreed

:11:10. > :11:12.a fee of around ?75 million with Everton and Lukaku is set

:11:13. > :11:14.to have a medical. The player is currently in America,

:11:15. > :11:18.where he'll meet his new team mates this weekend, as they arrive
