There'll be a trade deal and it'll be | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Donald Trump's words to Theresa May this morning as the US president met | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
the Prime Minister at the G20 conference in Hamburg. | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
Mr Trump stressed the special relationship he's developed | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
with Mrs May and said the deal would be done quickly. | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
Mr Trump also suggested he would be visiting Britain despite previous | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
reports than he wanted the visit put off. | :00:45. | :00:45. | |
Our Deputy Political editor John Pienaar reports. | :00:46. | :00:56. | |
Theresa May was counting on warm words. Promises of good will. And | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
today the president had plenty of both. She sees the US relationship | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
is key to successful Brexit. He is keen to show that he's open to free | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
trade with a major ally. When it came to encouraging language the | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
president clearly was feeling generous. I would like to thank | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
Prime Minister made for being with us. We had tremendous talks, there | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
is no country that could be closer than our two countries. And I want | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
to say thank you very much. We are working for a trade deal which will | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
be a very big deal for both countries. And I think we will have | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
that done very quickly. It was not all so friendly, Theresa May also | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
urged him to drop opposition to the climate change treaty. But trade is | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
the priority and he was still planning a visit. Though not | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
everyone will be as happy as Theresa May to see him. Until then worth | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
cultivating the US friendship with the president, his family and | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
advisers. His daughter Ivanka Trump is both. Meeting the Japanese leader | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
was also important, Shinzo Abe has done a trade deal with the EU and | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
the UK would like one just as favourable. Warm words about trade | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
and cooperation can be comforting, even political useful at a summit | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
like this but striking deals with America, India, anyone, will take | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
hard bargaining and plenty of British businessmen, government | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
officials and even the own chance of Theresa May will need to be | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
convinced that agreements around the world could even compensate for a | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
tough, even a harsh deal with the EU. The Prime Minister insists it | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
can be done. They have been ugly scenes in the streets outside. | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
Violent protests against the wealth and power gathered here. A harsh | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
contrast with a comparatively calm summit. Even one that was not quite | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
as friendly as it seemed. Let's speak to our Diplomatic | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
Correspondent James Robbins. What is your reading of Donald | :02:57. | :03:07. | |
Trump's commitment to this trade deal with the UK? Let's remind | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
ourselves that President Trump described Brexit as a beautiful | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
thing. He said it was an inspiration to his own campaign to be elected as | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
president of the US. So perhaps no surprise that he was so willing to | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
meet the needs of Downing Street for a positive, positive restatements to | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
now Prime Minister in Theresa May that America is intending to press | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
ahead with a UK trade deal to take the place of the multilateral | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
agreements existing within the EU framework. That is as soon as | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
Britain leaves the EU. But of course this is a statement and getting that | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
as an agreed deal could be more difficult. And what of other issues | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
on the agenda, what impact is Donald Trump having on those? I think drug | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
this summer Donald Trump is central frankly to the deadlocks and | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
divisions of this summit. They're not reconciled on climate change, | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
something that Theresa May raised with him and frankly Angela Merkel | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
is struggling to find a form of words for the final concluding | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
summit text which somehow can square away President Trump and his | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
rejection of the Paris climate agreement with the overwhelming | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
feeling of the others that nothing must be done or said in the text | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
which seems to weaken that agreement. So a very tough summit | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
and all the divisions with America coming to the fore. | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
There are reports this lunchtime that Iraqi forces are on the verge | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
of recapturing the city of Mosul from so called Islamic State. | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
There's been no formal announcement but one is expected with hours. | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
These latest pictures just in show soldiers and civilians | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
The strategically important city of Mosul has been | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
London Fire Brigade says its changing the number and type | :04:59. | :05:06. | |
of fire engines it routinely deploys to tower block fires. | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
It follows an investigation by the BBC's Newsnight that found | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
that no high ladder engine was sent in the first wave of engines sent | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
to Grenfell Tower fire which has so far claimed 80 lives. | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
The Fire Brigades Union says the extra height provided by such | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
an engine would have helped fight the ire more effectively | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
Braving the flames just before one o'clock. Fire Services were on the | :05:25. | :05:41. | |
scene in minutes from being called but firefighters said that they | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
lacked equipment and sufficient water pressure when tackling what | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
became an inferno at Grenfell Tower. It took more than 30 minutes for a | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
high ladder to arrive at the 67 metre high blog according to a BBC | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
Newsnight investigation. One was not automatically send. One fire union | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
official believes if it had arrived earlier it could have made a | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
difference. I have spoken to aerial appliance operators in London who | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
drive and operate those appliances and who attended the incident, who | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
think that having that on the first attendance might have made a | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
difference because it allows you to operate a very powerful water tower | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
from outside the building. It has also emerged there was no platform | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
tall enough in London to suit a building of this size and help with | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
the rescue effort so one had to be set from Surrey. London Fire Brigade | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
has now changed his procedures so that a high ladder is automatically | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
sent to any tower fire straightaway. Other fire brigades now may follow | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
suit and Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service announced a change in | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
their policy so that the high ladder is automatically dispatched to a | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
tower block fire. Newsnight was also told but firefighters struggled with | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
water pressure problems and called Thames Water to increased pressure | :07:01. | :07:08. | |
in the area. Thames Water said any suggestion that there was low | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
pressure during this appalling tragedy is categorically false. But | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
questions remain as to what was in place as firefighters first rushed | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
in to help the residents of Grenfell Tower that night. Even though some | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
answers may not come until the public enquiry it seems that | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
pressure for more precautions in the future means changes are already | :07:27. | :07:27. | |
underway. Hundreds of thousands of people | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
are expected to attend the Pride in London march, which gets | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
underway this lunchtime. This year the event is marking | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
the 50th anniversary of the first partial decriminalisation | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
of homosexuality in 1967. Wyre Davies is in London's Oxford | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
Street where the march It looks lively. Indeed, the 45th | :07:45. | :07:57. | |
annual celebration in the capital of diversity and equality. Pride this | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
year marking 50 years since the partial decriminalisation of | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
homosexuality in England and Wales, 26,000 official participants in ten | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
three this year and a 2 million people spectating as it winds | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
through central London. The festival will be officially opened by members | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
of the emergency services, many of whom served at Grenfell Tower and | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
during the terror attacks on Westminster Bridge and London Bridge | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
was the security is a big issue this year. This will have the biggest | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
police presence of any pride festival. Of course amid these | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
accusations from some quarters that it has become a bit too commercial, | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
the parade is as colourful as ever this year and seems to have lost | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
none of its spontaneity. It was a nail biting battle that | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
went down to the wire but in the end it was honours even | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
as the British Lions ended their three match series | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
in New Zealand with a 15-all draw Rugby is part of the fabric of New | :08:53. | :09:07. | |
Zealand. Almost everyone here is a fan although today the All Blacks | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
seemed a little outnumbered. The Lions have arrived helpful and | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
determined to leave with more than just memories. The lines are | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
confident they are the underdogs, everywhere you look there are | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
reminders that New Zealand are the reigning double world champion. And | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
they will not be letting that trophy go without a fight. But in six weeks | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
the British and Irish Lions have transformed from no hopers into a | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
genuine threat. The fortress invaded by red Army. It would set the tone | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
for a breathless first half, the pace not always matched with | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
precision. That would come from the All Blacks Beauden Barrett who | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
picked out his younger, taller brother to set up the opening score. | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
Try finished by Ngani Laumape. The New Zealand captain made his 100th | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
appearance but it weathered debutants stealing the limelight as | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
Jordie Barrett made his first test start one to remember the All Blacks | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
dominance was not reflected in the scoreline, the Lions were kept | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
within reach as Elliot Daly kit for the horizon. New Zealand strain | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
every sting you to hold back the line. They had hoped from this | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
yellow but playing here is a test of nerves and Owen Farrell could never | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
be folded there. This was the kick to level the match. A refereeing | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
decision denied the All Blacks a chance of victory, a draw perhaps | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
the fitting into a thrilling series. But for the Lions a sense of what | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
might have been remains. Some other brief sports | :10:35. | :10:35. | |
news before we go. England's cricketers have taken two | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
early wickets on the third day of the opening Test | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
against South Africa at Lord's. Liam Dawson removed | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
Kagiso Rabada for 27, And after making his half-century, | :10:44. | :10:45. | |
Temba Bavuma is also out - caught by Ben Stokes off the bowling | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
of Moeen Ali. Romelu Lukaku appears to be heading | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
for Manchester United, despite a late bid from his | :10:56. | :11:05. | |
former club Chelsea. United are reported to have agreed | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
a fee of around ?75 million with Everton and Lukaku is set | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
to have a medical. The player is currently in America, | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
where he'll meet his new team mates this weekend, as they arrive | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
