The drivers of two lorries involved in a collision on the M1 motorway | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
that killed eight people have been charged with causing death | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
Four other passengers in the minibus that was crushed remain in hospital. | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
The minibus involved in yesterday's crash was carrying 12 people | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
from the Nottingham area down towards London. | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
Police said some of its passengers were visiting from India. | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
One of those who died has been identified as Cyriac Joseph, | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
He was the owner of the minibus company, ABC Travels. | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
He is understood to be a father of two from Nottingham. | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
On Facebook, one friend paid tribute, | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
saying "Words cannot describe how helpful you are. | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
Today, police gave an update on the four | :01:04. | :01:12. | |
They're still in hospital with serious injuries. | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
Yesterday, police said three of them were in | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
Both lorry drivers were arrested at the scene yesterday, | :01:18. | :01:25. | |
and this morning they were charged, each of them with eight counts | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
of causing death by dangerous driving, and four counts | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
of causing serious injury by dangerous driving. | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
One of them, Ryszard Masierak, who's 31 and from Evesham, has also | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
He's been remanded in custody to appear in court tomorrow. | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
The other driver, David Wagstaff, who's 53 and from Stoke-on-Trent, | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
has been bailed to appear before magistrates next month. | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
Our correspondent, Spencer Stokes, is in Nottingham. | :01:53. | :02:04. | |
That is where the minibus set off. What has been the reaction, Spencer? | :02:05. | :02:15. | |
I have been on the street here in Nottingham, a small cul-de-sac where | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
Cyriac Joseph lived. I've been talking to some of the neighbours. | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
One of the neighbours at the top of the cul-de-sac told me they would | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
often see Cyriac Joseph playing in his front garden with his two | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
children, playing cricket with them. Another neighbour towards the bottom | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
of the cul-de-sac was saying how his wife would speak with Mr Joseph's | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
wife over the garden fence. He was aware he was a minibus driver | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
because he would see the mini buses and taxis coming and going. He said | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
he was a very nice man. Here in Nottingham a church service has been | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
held this morning at the Roman Catholic St Paul's Church, | :02:59. | :03:09. | |
advertised as being in memory of Cyriac Joseph. People knew he was a | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
taxi driver locally, and people waking up to learn that he was the | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
minibus driver who tragically died on the M1 yesterday. Spencer, thank | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
you. For the first time, Labour has | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
committed to keeping the UK in the single market and customs | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
union during a transition period Writing in the Observer, | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
the Shadow Brexit secretary, Sir Keir Starmer, said leaving both | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
at once would be too risky. The shift in policy would mean | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
continuing to accept the free Our political correspondent, | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
Jonathan Blake, reports. But since the result | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
of the EU referendum in favour of leaving, | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
the party has faced criticism that its policy on | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
Brexit was unclear. Now Jeremy Corbyn | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
and his shadow Brexit Secretary, Keir Starmer, have agreed | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
on their version of the way forward. A transitional period is, | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
they say, essential. Writing in the Observer, | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
Keir Starmer criticises the government's approach | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
of constructive ambiguity and says A credible solution is needed to one | :04:06. | :04:06. | |
of the most important issues facing That means, he says, | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
we would seek to remain in a customs union with | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
the EU and within the single market. It would mean we would abide | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
by the common rules of both. Labour hasn't said | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
how long the proposed leaves the EU, only | :04:26. | :04:33. | |
that it should be as short as possible | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
but as long as necessary. When many Labour MPs | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
return here to Westminster in the next week or so, | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
they may find themselves torn between supporting what many | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
will see as a soft Brexit policy and representing their constituents, a | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
lot of whom voted overwhelmingly to Long-term, Keir Starmer has | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
suggested keeping the benefits of the single market | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
with what he called more effective Some pro-Europe Labour MPs want | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
the party to go further. What people would now like to see, | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
building on this important step forward, is for the Labour Party | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
to commit to single market membership and the customs union | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
after the transition period, after the UK has left | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
the European Union. The government has dismissed | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
Labour's policy, saying the party has no vision | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
for Britain post-Brexit. Their plan for a transitional period | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
is now set, but the endgame for Britain outside the EU under | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
Labour is still far from clear. The American boxer Floyd Mayweather | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
says he's now retiring for good after stopping | :05:27. | :05:36. | |
Ireland's Conor McGregor in the tenth round of | :05:37. | :05:37. | |
their fight in Las Vegas. The former welterweight champion | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
emerged from a two-year retirement to take on the Irish mixed | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
martial arts star. Floyd Mayweather Junior | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
confirmed his position as one of the all-time greats in a fight | :05:46. | :05:53. | |
that surpassed expectations. With just over a minute | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
remaining in the tenth round, the dominance of the man who refers | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
to himself as "TBE", The Best Ever, proved too much | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
for Conor McGregor, with the referee I told you guys there'd be blood, | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
sweat and tears, and I told you... He was a hell of a | :06:07. | :06:14. | |
fighter, standing up. A sense of hope, anticipation | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
and excitement had built throughout the day, with Irish fans | :06:17. | :06:24. | |
turning the desert city green. And Floyd Mayweather wasn't | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
without support either. When the bell rang for the first | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
round, McGregor emerged all guns blazing, catching Mayweather | :06:35. | :06:42. | |
with a number of powerful shots. The Irishman had claimed for weeks | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
that he was ready to shock the world, and with three rounds | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
gone, some began to wonder But in his first professional boxing | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
contest, the pace and skills of Mayweather ground the Irishman | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
down, and he visibly tired. He came in hands up | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
towards your forehead, dipped in the forehead on the chest, | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
and started to fight By the ninth round, McGregor's | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
legs began to wobble, clinging to his opponent | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
and the ropes for survival. And the next round saw the end | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
of a fight that has intrigued and repulsed in equal measure, | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
with all its controversies A second man has been arrested | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
by police investigating Friday's Detectives say they have detained | :07:22. | :07:31. | |
a 30-year-old man in West London on suspicion of being involved | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
in the alleged terror incident. Three police officers were injured | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
on Friday as they arrested a 26-year-old man brandishing | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
a four-foot sword, who repeatedly Emergency workers in Texas | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
are trying to rescue hundreds of stranded people from rising | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
floodwaters caused by Storm Harvey. The storm, which has been | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
downgraded from a hurricane, killed two people and officials | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
expect the death toll to rise. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
warned of severe flooding, with 40 inches of rain expected | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
in the next few days. The victims of the Grenfell Tower | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
tragedy have been remembered with prayers and the release | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
of dozens of white doves Security for the event - | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
due to be attended by tens of thousands of people - | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
has also been reviewed in the wake Our correspondent, | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
Chi Chi Izundu, is there. I assume a day of mixed emotions for | :08:30. | :08:48. | |
some people? Indeed it is a day of mixed emotions. Organisers were very | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
clear that they wanted this carnival to be marked and remembered as part | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
of the victims of Grenfell Tower. 6000 to 7000 police officers are | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
patrolling the site. Loads of people are going behind me because a | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
million are expected to take part in Europe's biggest festival over the | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
next two days. As well as police we have seen some steel barricades and | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
concrete blocks to prevent any vehicles going down. Slow drivers | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
have been told to make sure they lock their cabs in order to ensure | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
there is no similar Barcelona style attack. As well as that, there has | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
been a ring of care around the tower of Grenfell Tower by the police, who | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
are encouraging people to leave tributes and handcrafted notes to | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
any one of the victims that are remembered here today, as well as | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
having fun at the carnival. Thank you very much indeed. | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
