:07:10. > :07:13.but he's just won the US Open - He didn't just win - he equalled
:07:14. > :07:23.the competition's best ever score. Let's speak to Tolson live from our
:07:24. > :07:30.sports Centre. Introduce us to him then. Brooks Koepka, 27-year-old
:07:31. > :07:34.from Florida, took up golf is a sport when he was a child because he
:07:35. > :07:39.was involved in a car accident. He could not play contact sports who
:07:40. > :07:45.went headfirst into golf. In this final round, it was a remarkable
:07:46. > :07:49.round, 14, 15 and 16 holes with three consecutive birdies pretty
:07:50. > :07:53.much did it for him. He did equal Rory McIlroy's record from 2011
:07:54. > :07:59.which were 16 under par, that was congressional on a 71 under par, or
:08:00. > :08:02.71 part course. This was an incredible effort from Koepka. He
:08:03. > :08:06.came from absolutely nowhere to witness. Brian Harman who looked as
:08:07. > :08:10.though he weighs in with a shout, went backwards on the back nine.
:08:11. > :08:14.Someone else also an hour, Hideki Matsuyama, the number four in the
:08:15. > :08:17.world from Japan, he could be a chance of winning a major in the
:08:18. > :08:27.future. But let's hear from Brooks Koepka, who won his maiden title. I
:08:28. > :08:32.just stayed in the moment. I thought if I thought ahead, if I strayed
:08:33. > :08:37.from the game plan at all, I thought that was where things would go
:08:38. > :08:40.wayward. Sideways, so you start thinking ahead. You start thinking
:08:41. > :08:47.about having the trophy, about other things. You are here to play golf.
:08:48. > :08:53.We've got 18 holes, just got it out for that long. Then you can
:08:54. > :08:56.celebrate. So many bad stories in the news lately but that one from
:08:57. > :09:03.Brooks Koepka is certainly a feel-good story.
:09:04. > :09:06.Now from golf to something a little bit dirtier...
:09:07. > :09:18.I was hoping I could show you some pictures but I will show you those

:09:50. > :10:00.The fluid nature of any building of this size means there remain

:10:05. > :10:07.Today a minute's silence was held across the UK
:10:08. > :10:17.These are firefighters in London.
:10:18. > :10:23.Frankie McCamley has this report from
:10:24. > :10:42.This is where people have come to bring flowers, leave messages and
:10:43. > :10:47.show their support. People have been arriving throughout the day and
:10:48. > :10:50.flowers have been growing. Just around 500 metres from here we
:10:51. > :10:54.observed a minute 's silence only on. Firefighters came back to the
:10:55. > :10:59.scene for the first time, they were visibly upset. As a minutes silence
:11:00. > :11:04.took place. Some broke down in tears. One firefighter said to me,
:11:05. > :11:08.there were so many children. This just shows how many people have been
:11:09. > :11:12.affected here. But you do see this huge sense of community spirit. Lots
:11:13. > :11:16.of people coming, this church behind me has seen three tonnes of food
:11:17. > :11:20.that has been dispatched to people who really need it. There was had
:11:21. > :11:25.lots of clothes, new clothes, that they have 70 families who have been
:11:26. > :11:29.affected by this. But here on the ground, you really do get this real
:11:30. > :11:34.sense of anger, people here say they feel forgotten, forgotten by the
:11:35. > :11:39.government, and they want answers. They want answers as to why this
:11:40. > :11:41.happened, and how so many people could die. And who if anyone is to
:11:42. > :11:44.blame for this awful fire. The UK Government has begun making

:14:38. > :14:40.because the north Koreans had detained Otto Warmbier since March
:14:41. > :14:46.last year. He was found guilty of trying to steal a propaganda sign
:14:47. > :14:54.and was given a sentence of 15 years in prison. Last week he was flown
:14:55. > :14:58.home via Japan via the US. We learned quickly he had a serious
:14:59. > :15:01.condition, he was in a coma, and the North Koreans were saying he had
:15:02. > :15:06.suffered from botulism but the doctors treating him said it was not
:15:07. > :15:10.clear. His family have put up this statement saying it is our sad duty
:15:11. > :15:14.to report our sun has completed his journey home. They talk about a
:15:15. > :15:18.warm, engaging, brilliant young man. They pay tribute to him over some

:19:50. > :19:57.girls, I have two ensure that they are safe. Even if they are home. And
:19:58. > :20:03.I am out working. The women's prison is a short drive away. Two years
:20:04. > :20:09.ago, Sasiwimon was given a sentence of 28 years. Few of the other
:20:10. > :20:15.families waiting to meet inmates are dealing with sentences like that.
:20:16. > :20:20.TRANSLATION: I never thought this would happen. I thought it would be
:20:21. > :20:24.a one-year prison term. May be suspended. We did not sell drugs, we
:20:25. > :20:30.did not kill anyone. Or steal anything. So when she was summoned
:20:31. > :20:36.by the police, I thought it was just for questioning. I did not think it
:20:37. > :20:39.would turn out like this. Sasiwimon has told me it all started because
:20:40. > :20:44.of her anger over her husband, who had gone off with another woman. She

:20:55. > :20:56.she did it using Sasiwimon's computer. Which was later traced by

:20:59. > :21:00.of Thailand's majesty law, the sentence passed on this woman
:21:01. > :21:05.was exceptionally severe. Especially when you consider
:21:06. > :21:07.she has no history of political involvement,
:21:08. > :21:10.says she is loyal to the monarchy, and that she was coerced

:21:51. > :21:53.anti-monarchy content. It was he who informed the police about
:21:54. > :21:58.Sasiwimon's posts, but he did not realise at the time who was behind
:21:59. > :22:04.them. TRANSLATION: I don't regret it. No one does. There is an issue
:22:05. > :22:07.affecting the highest and most respected institution in the
:22:08. > :22:12.country. I don't understand, we are the only country in the world which

:22:32. > :22:35.calendar on the wall, fixed on the month when she was convicted.
:22:36. > :22:41.TRANSLATION: The kids were distressed at first. They found it
:22:42. > :22:45.hard to accept. The older ones seem to understand. She knew that her
:22:46. > :22:52.mamma had been given a 28 year imprisonment sentence. But she could
:22:53. > :22:57.not imagine how many days or months, 28 years were going to be. The
:22:58. > :23:04.little one when she heard 28 years, thought her mum was going to come
:23:05. > :23:10.home on the 28th of the month. A long sentence has now been reduced
:23:11. > :23:13.in a royal pardon to 12 years. But that still means that her daughters
