:00:14. > :00:20.The death toll in the London tower block fire is now 17. That figure is
:00:21. > :00:24.certain to rise. Police are saying they hoped the number of victims
:00:25. > :00:27.will not reach 100 but have warned some people may never be identified.
:00:28. > :00:36.Theresa May visited the scene today. She said... We need to make sure
:00:37. > :00:40.that this terrible tragedy is properly investigated. That's why I
:00:41. > :00:43.am ordering a full public enquiry. With large areas of the tower block
:00:44. > :00:51.still an accessible it only adds to the pain of the family of loved ones
:00:52. > :00:55.missing. The last words she said, please forgive me if I've ever said
:00:56. > :01:02.anything to upset you or hurt you, I don't think we are going to make it
:01:03. > :01:08.out of the building. These are some of the moments of the
:01:09. > :01:11.attack in which congressmen Steve Scalise was hit with bullets. He is
:01:12. > :01:16.still in critical condition. Republicans and Democrats are going
:01:17. > :01:19.ahead with their annual baseball game in a rare show of political
:01:20. > :01:25.unity. And the latest on day one of the
:01:26. > :01:26.second golfing major of the year, plus news of a mouthwatering final
:01:27. > :01:49.in cricket's Champions Trophy. It's almost 48-hour since the fire
:01:50. > :01:52.began at Grenfell Tower in west London. Still, there is no real
:01:53. > :01:57.sense of exactly how many people may have lost their lives in the fire.
:01:58. > :02:02.Police say they may never be able to identify all of those who died. Our
:02:03. > :02:11.latest report comes from our special correspondent, Lucy Manning.
:02:12. > :02:13.Mohammed Hakim fears he's lost everyone -
:02:14. > :02:14.his mother, father, two brothers and sister.
:02:15. > :02:16.All his extended family supporting him now rushed
:02:17. > :02:18.to the fire when the calls of panic came.
:02:19. > :02:22.I spoke to her and the last few words she said to me was,
:02:23. > :02:25.please forgive me if I've said anything to upset you or hurt you.
:02:26. > :02:29.I don't think we're going to make it out of the building.
:02:30. > :02:31.They were supposed to be celebrating next month.
:02:32. > :02:34.His sister, Husna, was getting married, but the entire family
:02:35. > :02:43.And they were reciting from the Koran.
:02:44. > :02:47.And it was just heartbreaking, and then it just cut out.
:02:48. > :02:53.She was, like, we're not going to make it, we can't make it,
:02:54. > :03:01.I kept saying, try and put things under the door to stop the smoke
:03:02. > :03:10.coming in and get as low as you can and open the windows.
:03:11. > :03:12.Someone's going to come, call the Fire Brigade, do something.
:03:13. > :03:16.All I could hear was this crackling noise in the background,
:03:17. > :03:18.because the phone was still on, but she wasn't saying anything.
:03:19. > :03:23.I really need to find out where they are.
:03:24. > :03:29.The family stood helpless outside, unable to rescue them.
:03:30. > :03:33.This is the worst thing I remember in my life.
:03:34. > :03:44.He kept shouting, "Please, help us, get us out."
:03:45. > :03:46.He was saying Allah's name, and all this.
:03:47. > :03:54.Mohammed, it must be extremely difficult, just not knowing?
:03:55. > :03:57.Not losing one member of my family, but losing all five,
:03:58. > :04:04.I don't have my parents any more and you only get one set
:04:05. > :04:09.They are all gone, in the space of a couple of hours,
:04:10. > :04:11.after leaving their house, they are all gone.
:04:12. > :04:14.And no-one wants to give us any information about their whereabouts,
:04:15. > :04:16.if they are still within the building, or not.
:04:17. > :04:22.They still have hope, but feel bereft of help.
:04:23. > :04:27.Adel Chaoui is another relative deep in grief and frustration.
:04:28. > :04:29.Baby Leena Belkadi, just six months old,
:04:30. > :04:35.is missing, along with her mum, Farah, and her dad, Omar.
:04:36. > :04:39.They eventually found two of the baby's sisters in hospital.
:04:40. > :04:47.We found one of the children there, the younger.
:04:48. > :04:49.My brother is looking around, and he is staring at another bed.
:04:50. > :04:54.And asks Farah's older sister to have a look.
:04:55. > :04:56.Farah's older sister says, "That's the other child,
:04:57. > :05:04.They were beds apart and nobody in authority was making any
:05:05. > :05:09.So many families here are looking, hoping,
:05:10. > :05:28.If you would like more information on this disaster you can find it on
:05:29. > :05:35.the BBC News website and the BBC News app.
:05:36. > :05:38.That's turned a story, a 22-year-old American student in North Korea
:05:39. > :05:42.released from custody earlier this week. 17 months ago he had been
:05:43. > :05:47.given a long prison sentence for stealing a propaganda sign. Now we
:05:48. > :05:50.understand he is in a coma. North Korea said he contracted botulism
:05:51. > :05:57.after his trial of March last year. It is a life-threatening condition.
:05:58. > :06:01.That claim is being refuted by doctors treating him in the US. They
:06:02. > :06:08.said he suffered a severe brain injury. This is his father giving
:06:09. > :06:13.his assessment of North Korea's explanation. Even if you believe
:06:14. > :06:17.their explanation of botulism in a sleeping pill causing the coma, and
:06:18. > :06:23.you don't, there is no excuse for any civilised nation to have kept
:06:24. > :06:28.his condition secret and denied him top-notch medical care for so long.
:06:29. > :06:36.Let's bring in our correspondent from Washington. What do the doctors
:06:37. > :06:43.in the US assess what might have happened much earlier on? They've
:06:44. > :06:47.just been speaking. Their assessment of his condition now is what they
:06:48. > :06:51.call unresponsive wakefulness. His eyes are open, he looks around, he
:06:52. > :06:55.blinks, but he isn't aware of his surroundings. He doesn't speak. He's
:06:56. > :07:00.had extensive loss of brain tissue. They believe this probably happened
:07:01. > :07:03.in the weeks shortly after he was imprisoned in March 2016 because
:07:04. > :07:08.they had a scan from the North Korean stated April 2016 which
:07:09. > :07:12.already shows this damage. How it happened they cannot say for sure.
:07:13. > :07:14.They say it doesn't look like what would normally take place if there
:07:15. > :07:19.was a traumatic injury. It looks more like what would have taken
:07:20. > :07:23.place if there was a cardiopulmonary arrest. In other words, if the heart
:07:24. > :07:27.stopped sending blood and oxygen to the brain. They cannot say what
:07:28. > :07:33.would have caused that. Stay with us. We know the sentence was handed
:07:34. > :07:37.out in March 20 16. That was when President Obama was in office. He's
:07:38. > :07:45.now been released while President Trump is in office. Is his father
:07:46. > :07:49.commenting on the two presidencies? -- here is his father commenting on
:07:50. > :07:53.the two presidencies. Do I think they could have done more? I think
:07:54. > :07:57.the results speak for themselves. Do we know if the reason for his
:07:58. > :08:04.release this week is connected to the Trump administration? The White
:08:05. > :08:08.House said in February President Trump told Rex Tillerson to do
:08:09. > :08:13.anything he could to get the imprisoned Americans released. There
:08:14. > :08:18.are four of them. We know that in May the State Department's envoy to
:08:19. > :08:23.North Korea had secret contacts with high-level North Korean officials in
:08:24. > :08:28.Norway. At which he negotiated access to the prisoners. And then we
:08:29. > :08:32.know that a few weeks later in June he was summoned to New York to the
:08:33. > :08:36.UN with their North Korean diplomats. He was told then about
:08:37. > :08:43.the condition of the prisoners. There was activity going on in the
:08:44. > :08:49.last weeks and months. According to the victim's father, they say they
:08:50. > :08:56.pursued the issue. They said they had a tough negotiating position.
:08:57. > :09:00.We've heard from the State Department today. When Joseph Young
:09:01. > :09:04.went to North Korea to bring him home a medical team was brought with
:09:05. > :09:08.him so he could be transported back safely. During that visit he also
:09:09. > :09:12.met the other three Americans who are being imprisoned there. This
:09:13. > :09:17.administration does seem to have been quite proactive. We appreciate
:09:18. > :09:23.the update. Thank you. Next, we will stay in that part of the US. Because
:09:24. > :09:25.a video has emerged at the gun attack yesterday that's left
:09:26. > :09:27.congressmen Steve Scalise in a critical condition. This is what a
:09:28. > :09:55.bystander films. -- filmed. Following that attack that have been
:09:56. > :10:01.calls for the political debate in the US to be tempered. This is what
:10:02. > :10:04.President Trump has said. We may have our differences, but we do well
:10:05. > :10:12.in times like these, to remember that everyone who serves in our
:10:13. > :10:18.nation's capital is here because, above all, they love our country.
:10:19. > :10:23.The shooting happened at a park in Alexandria, a suburb in Virginia.
:10:24. > :10:27.The congressmen were training for a charity baseball game. That game is
:10:28. > :10:32.going ahead today. It is happening across the river at the National 's
:10:33. > :10:37.Park in Washington. Laura Baker is there. Tell us more about what is
:10:38. > :10:43.happening. The baseball game will get underway in a couple of hours.
:10:44. > :10:46.Since the shooting a further 20,000 tickets have been sold overnight.
:10:47. > :10:55.Already this is a charity baseball match, already they have raise $1
:10:56. > :11:00.million. Last year they raised $500,000. That is just put it into
:11:01. > :11:03.context. They have added one extra charity to the list, and that is for
:11:04. > :11:08.the Capitol Hill police Memorial fund, who will benefit from
:11:09. > :11:16.tonight's game. There have been 80 people queueing. This is -- there
:11:17. > :11:20.have been a few people queueing. This is a game which is a genuine
:11:21. > :11:24.moment where politicians, Republicans and Democrats, come
:11:25. > :11:29.together. It is a rare moment to see the politicians as players and
:11:30. > :11:34.people, rather as somebody to whom you attacked a certain ideology. And
:11:35. > :11:40.that the whole reason behind it. -- to whom you attach a certain
:11:41. > :11:45.ideology. Both sides have called for unity ahead of the start of the
:11:46. > :11:51.game. What is the security like there? It has been pretty tight, as
:11:52. > :11:55.you can imagine. There are barriers. Capitol Hill police. A number of
:11:56. > :12:00.bomb squads out just to check. Security is going to be tight.
:12:01. > :12:05.President Trump, presidents have attended in the past, this game has
:12:06. > :12:11.gone on since 1909, President Trump has decided not to come because it
:12:12. > :12:16.would add to the security's burden. I mentioned political unity a second
:12:17. > :12:22.ago. Despite this call for unity in that clip you just saw, in the last
:12:23. > :12:26.half-hour he's been tweeting about crooked Hillary Clinton, his former
:12:27. > :12:31.Democratic rival. Even though this game might show some kind of
:12:32. > :12:35.bipartisanship, when it comes to politics it may be that aside for a
:12:36. > :12:39.few hours, but they'll all have to go back into Congress tomorrow. For
:12:40. > :12:43.those few hours, what they want to show to the people of America is
:12:44. > :12:46.that although there are some fierce rivalries, there are some fierce
:12:47. > :12:54.friendships there, too. Thanks very much.
:12:55. > :13:00.Next: We will turn to a couple Bic sport stories. India through to the
:13:01. > :13:04.final of the ICC Champions Trophy, that easily beat Bangladesh. It will
:13:05. > :13:13.be an India Pakistan final, quite prospect. -- a couple of big sports
:13:14. > :13:16.stories. This always looked like a mismatch, the semifinal.
:13:17. > :13:20.Same with Pakistan over England in the first. We are hoping the final
:13:21. > :13:25.will be closer. This is the first on Pakistan and India have met in a
:13:26. > :13:29.50/1-day international final. It'll be a cracking game. Today's game,
:13:30. > :13:37.this was their top scorer, Karen Iqbal. Only three players got off to
:13:38. > :13:44.a good start. They set a paltry target for the Indian side. That was
:13:45. > :13:48.called for a six, taking him to his century. Virat Kohli, the fastest
:13:49. > :13:52.player to 8001-day international runs, he hit the winning runs for
:13:53. > :13:59.his country and it'll be India versus Pakistan in the final. It be
:14:00. > :14:02.a belter. We don't need to build it up any more. Every time they play
:14:03. > :14:09.against each other, they haven't played a Test match since 2007. The
:14:10. > :14:15.fans certainly love watching these sides play.
:14:16. > :14:23.And the gold? Rickie Fowler is the leader. -- the
:14:24. > :14:27.golf. Look down the leaderboard, Dustin Johnson, three over, the
:14:28. > :14:35.defending champion, the world number one, he really struggled with his
:14:36. > :14:38.putting. Sergio Garcia, the Masters champion, he is on two under par
:14:39. > :14:46.after six. Early days, thanks very much.
:14:47. > :14:51.Boxing, Floyd Mayweather, Conor McGregor is on. Floyd Mayweather is
:14:52. > :14:54.coming out of retirement. Conor McGregor has never fought a
:14:55. > :14:58.professional boxing contest in his life. It looks like a mismatch.
:14:59. > :15:03.There is one reason it is happening, both men could make around $100
:15:04. > :15:07.million. Some people pick McGregor has a chance. Most are not
:15:08. > :15:11.convinced. This is the Northern Irish boxer, Carl Frampton, a former
:15:12. > :15:20.two-time champion with his reaction to the news. It is unfair. Boxing
:15:21. > :15:27.and mixed martial arts are to map a different sports. Conor McGregor, to
:15:28. > :15:32.be honest, I think that if he lands a glove on Floyd Mayweather he would
:15:33. > :15:37.be doing very well. -- boxing and mixed martial arts are two very
:15:38. > :15:41.different sports. I don't think McGregor has the boxing prowess to
:15:42. > :15:45.do anything with Floyd Mayweather. It is unfair. Two different sports.
:15:46. > :15:52.They will both make a lot of money out of it. I think McGregor knows
:15:53. > :15:58.that himself. Is it just all about PR, building things up? I think so.
:15:59. > :16:02.The showmanship. The razzmatazz. I can't imagine what the press tour
:16:03. > :16:06.would be like. The guys will make a lot of money but Floyd Mayweather
:16:07. > :16:11.will make. We haven't seen anything yet. It'll be a serious build-up to
:16:12. > :16:16.the fight. Stay with us. We will update you on Vladimir Putin's
:16:17. > :16:20.annual national phone in. He spent hours on live television taking
:16:21. > :16:21.calls from all over Russia. He has been needling the US again. We will
:16:22. > :16:34.show you how. Questions continue over how and why
:16:35. > :16:39.the devastating fire in west London happened. Mark Ashdown has more.
:16:40. > :16:43.It's been described as a disaster waiting to happen. A horrendous loss
:16:44. > :16:47.of life which some believe could have been prevented. Others fear it
:16:48. > :16:52.could all too easily happen again. The telco to state in Camden, 700
:16:53. > :16:56.flats across four large tower blocks come up the road from Grenfell Tower
:16:57. > :17:01.and similarly these blocks have been refurbished with cladding from the
:17:02. > :17:06.same contractor. Margaret has lived on the 20th floor here for 40 years.
:17:07. > :17:11.I tried not to think about it. Because it can be frightening. Have
:17:12. > :17:17.there ever been any fires here? On the 17th floor, yes, and a couple of
:17:18. > :17:20.minor ones. Another resident, Roger, has been watching and worrying if
:17:21. > :17:28.his home is safe. Do you have fire drills? Never. We have fire alarms
:17:29. > :17:34.in each flat. What is the advice? Same as the others, stay put. How do
:17:35. > :17:40.you feel about that, would you? Absolutely not. But the signs say if
:17:41. > :17:45.there is a fire, leave immediately. We have had a walk around. There
:17:46. > :17:49.appear to be smoke detectors but I cannot see any sprinklers. If there
:17:50. > :17:53.was a big fire the lifts would stop working, so this is the only way for
:17:54. > :17:58.the residents to get out. This single stairwell. There are 160
:17:59. > :18:10.flats in this tower block. This is the only emergency escape route. We
:18:11. > :18:13.have been talking to councils across London. All of them say they take
:18:14. > :18:15.fire safety very seriously. They all regularly inspect their council
:18:16. > :18:17.properties, including tower blocks. Some of them have ordered an urgent
:18:18. > :18:20.inspection in light of what has happened. From the sandal's fact you
:18:21. > :18:29.can see the charred remains of Glen felt tower. -- from Nathaniel's
:18:30. > :18:34.flat. A lot of these flats have had the extra will put outside. If that
:18:35. > :18:37.is a fire hazard that is extremely worrying. In a statement this
:18:38. > :18:42.afternoon the company which carried out the work at Glen felt tower said
:18:43. > :18:46.it met all fire regulations and was signed off. -- at Glen felt tower
:18:47. > :18:58.said it met all fire regulations and was signed off. -- Grenfell Tower.
:18:59. > :18:59.Thousands of residents want reassurance that their homes are
:19:00. > :19:17.safe. This is Outside Source. The Prime
:19:18. > :19:22.Minister says there will be a full public enquiry into the tower block
:19:23. > :19:26.fire in West London. 17 people have been confirmed dead but officials
:19:27. > :19:28.are warning the final death toll may be higher and may take weeks to
:19:29. > :19:38.determine. Next to a year-long investigation by
:19:39. > :19:43.BBC Arabic and the Danish newspaper which has uncovered evidence that
:19:44. > :19:47.the UK defence giant, BAE Systems, has made large-scale sales across
:19:48. > :19:51.the Middle East. From sophisticated surveillance technology, including
:19:52. > :19:55.to many repressive governments. These cells have included encryption
:19:56. > :20:00.software which could be used against the UK and its allies. -- of these
:20:01. > :20:05.sales. Our BBC correspondent has been travelling across the region,
:20:06. > :20:09.looking at the systems, and I have been speaking to her. It is a
:20:10. > :20:15.sophisticated piece of technology. It sits on the Internet. It hoovers
:20:16. > :20:19.up all of the Communications. At the same time it can save it for
:20:20. > :20:24.governments to look into later. We spoke to a former employee who work
:20:25. > :20:31.in developing this technology. He told us that it has many components.
:20:32. > :20:34.One of them is decryption, voice recognition, mobile tracking,
:20:35. > :20:37.certain keywords, and all of this information is stored there for
:20:38. > :20:44.governments to analyse at any time they want. In short it means the
:20:45. > :20:49.governments have the ability to monitor their people all the time.
:20:50. > :20:53.Which countries have bought the technology? We found out it has been
:20:54. > :20:58.sold to various countries throughout the world. We focused on the Middle
:20:59. > :21:04.East. That is where the majority of the country's worth. If we look back
:21:05. > :21:09.to 2011, when the Arab Spring happened, one of the main tools that
:21:10. > :21:14.protesters used was social media, Twitter, Facebook, to organise.
:21:15. > :21:16.Governments in those countries were shopping around for cyber
:21:17. > :21:22.surveillance technology because they really needed it. This was a huge
:21:23. > :21:27.opportunity for companies like BAE Systems to sell this kind of
:21:28. > :21:32.technology. Now, in 2017, we've been able to prove that Morocco has
:21:33. > :21:39.bought this technology. Algeria, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, yes, these
:21:40. > :21:43.countries have bought it. What response have you had to the
:21:44. > :21:49.allegations you are making? Just this morning after the story came
:21:50. > :21:54.out online the Danish Minister of business, because BAE Systems is
:21:55. > :22:00.working through a subsidiary in Denmark, he said that his department
:22:01. > :22:03.is going to, "Take a look at whether we can in future have higher
:22:04. > :22:09.requirements for the country's documentation regarding end-user and
:22:10. > :22:23.the risk of human rights violations: ". We approached all of the
:22:24. > :22:28.countries that were involved, we have had no reply from any of them.
:22:29. > :22:33.Their technology played a crucial role in combating terrorism and they
:22:34. > :22:38.insist they are fully compliant with all export regulations. The British
:22:39. > :22:40.government issued a statement saying all exports are evaluated on a
:22:41. > :22:46.case-by-case basis and they will refuse any licenses where there is a
:22:47. > :22:51.clear risk the technology might be used for internal repression. The
