Hello, it's Friday, it's 9am - I'm Tina Daheley, in for Victoria, | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
The first step to possible criminal charges as a grand jury is assembled | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
in Washington to investigate the claims of Russian meddling | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
President Trump has rubbished the allegations. | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
The Russia story is a total fabrication. | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
It's just an excuse for the greatest loss in the history of American | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
This the latest in yet another week of intrigue at the White House. | :00:36. | :00:45. | |
We'll be taking an in-depth look at what's happening in the next hour. | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
The deadline for people wanting to have their say | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
on what the Grenfell fire inquiry should cover expires later today. | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
80 people died in the tragedy in June. | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
As survivors struggle to come to terms with the horror | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
of what happened to them, one woman tells us of the online abuse | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
It's people thinking we're having a free ride. | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
It's people thinking we're taking advantage. | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
And it's the start of the World Athletics Championships | :01:19. | :01:26. | |
in London this evening - two of the sport's best known stars | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
Mo Farah and Usain Bolt are competing at the event | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
Hello, welcome to the programme - we're live until 11am this morning. | :01:32. | :01:46. | |
Have you been caught in the massive queues for passport control | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
People have been missing flights and struggling in the heat. | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
Do get in touch on all the stories we're talking about this morning - | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
If you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate. | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
In the United States, the investigation into Russian | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
attempts to interfere in last year's Presidential election | :02:14. | :02:14. | |
It's emerged that special counsel Robert Mueller has convened | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
a Grand Jury in Washington - which is the first step | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
But President Trump - as he has done many times before - | :02:23. | :02:32. | |
ridiculed any suggestion that his campaign team colluded | :02:33. | :02:33. | |
Earlier, he addressed a rally of supporters in West Virginia. | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
Have you seen any Russians in West Virginia, or Ohio, or Pennsylvania? | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
They can't beat us at the voting booth, so they're trying to cheat | :02:44. | :02:54. | |
you out of the future, and the future that you want. | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
They're trying to cheat you out of the leadership you want, | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
with a fake story that is demeaning to all of us and, most importantly, | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
demeaning to our country and demeaning to our Constitution. | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
Our correspondent Peter Bowes explained how significant this is. | :03:15. | :03:27. | |
Well, this shows, it really confirms, that this is a very | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
And a lot of people are saying that it was only a matter of time | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
before we discovered that a grand jury had been brought into this. | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
Of course, it is not a grand jury's role to determine guilt | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
or innocence, but it is crucial as far as gathering the information, | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
They have the power to issue subpoenas. | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
There could be subpoenas to banks or telephone companies to try | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
and piece together this story, and of course more individuals - | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
perhaps people that we haven't even heard of, connected to this story - | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
So, it is a very wide ranging investigation. | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
It is about President Trump's inner circle, it's about his son, | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
Donald Trump Jr, and of course we heard about Donald Trump, | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
the president, having a role in writing a statement for his son, | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
about that meeting with the Russian lawyer that was supposedly to get | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
some negative information about Hillary Clinton. | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
So the president does seem to be being drawn closer and closer | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
Martine Croxall is in the BBC Newsroom with a summary | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
Thank you, good morning. The deadline for submissions on what the | :04:37. | :04:46. | |
Grenfell Tower fire inquiry should cover will expire later today. | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
Hundreds of suggestions have been received with the total expected to | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
exceed 300 by the 5pm cooktop. Ahead of the inquiry promised to consider | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
a broad range of evidence when he launched a public consultation into | :05:02. | :05:02. | |
the terms of in July. Four teenagers have been arrested | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
in north London on suspicion They were tracked by a police | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
helicopter in the early dumping a stolen moped, | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
before being detained A British computer expert who helped | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
stop the cyber attack that crippled the NHS has | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
appeared before a judge in the US over alleged links | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
with other malicious software. Marcus Hutchins, aged | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
23 and from Devon, appeared in a Las Vegas court | :05:32. | :05:32. | |
charged with creating a programme designed to steal bank | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
and credit card details. Our North America correspondent | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
James Cook has more. Marcus Hutchins was hailed as a hero | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
for stopping an attack which crippled the NHS and spread | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
to tens of thousands His arrest is not related to his | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
role in neutralising the so-called WannaCry ransomware, | :05:45. | :05:54. | |
which he discussed I checked the message board, | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
there were maybe 16 or 17 reports of different NHS | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
organisations being hit. That was the point where | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
I decided my holiday's over, In the past week, Mr Hutchins had | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
been in Las Vegas for the DEF CON He was apparently arrested | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
at the airport minutes before We've now obtained | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
a copy of the indictment against Marcus Hutchins, | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
and another unnamed defendant. It reveals they're facing charges | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
in the US state of Wisconsin. They're accused of creating | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
and selling a programme to harvest online banking data | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
and credit card details. Prosecutors say the arrest | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
here in Las Vegas came at the end Cyber security remains a top | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
priority for the FBI, Marcus Hutchins may now | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
face his biggest challenge yet Police in Australia say two men | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
charged with plotting to bring down a plane were taking | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
directions from a senior commander from the so-called | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
Islamic State group in Syria. Investigators believe | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
they made a bomb using Described as one of the most | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
sophisticated terror plots ever on Australian soil, | :07:06. | :07:15. | |
officers say they have ended a plan which could have caused | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
catastrophic loss of life. They believe Khaled Khayat | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
and his son, Mahmoud Khayat, were sent high-grade military | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
explosives by the so-called Islamic State through air cargo, | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
and say they then put together On July 15th, it's alleged | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
the men planned to take the improvised explosive device, | :07:39. | :07:46. | |
or IED, on to an Etihad Airways flight out of Sydney, but officers | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
say it was never checked in. We will be alleging in court that | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
a fully-functioning IED was to be One thing that is important | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
to state, though, is it did not Having aborted the first attack, | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
it's alleged the men took parts of the bomb to create a chemical | :08:06. | :08:18. | |
device instead, which would emit Officers say the men were arrested | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
before that plot became advanced. Detailed forensic | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
searches are continuing. A third man is being | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
questioned by police. Airport security routines have | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
now returned to normal. Passengers are being assured | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
the threat has been disrupted, but new questions have been raised | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
over how explosives could be sent into Australia | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
by the Islamic State, and how Oxford University has urged | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
one of its employees, who's suspected of murdering a man | :08:46. | :08:54. | |
in Chicago, to hand himself Andrew Warren, who's 56, is wanted | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
alongside an American professor, in connection with the death | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
of a man found with One of the world's tallest | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
residential buildings, the Torch tower in Dubai, | :09:06. | :09:14. | |
has been engulfed in flames As the fire spread rapidly, | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
debris fell into the streets The blaze has now been | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
brought under control. Fire engulfs one of the world's | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
tallest residential buildings. Floor by floor, flames spread up | :09:25. | :09:32. | |
the side of the Torch tower in Dubai's upscale Marina district, | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
as residents flee to the streets. All they can do is watch | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
as firefighters work to bring Witnesses, many of whom filmed | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
the blaze and uploaded images on social media, | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
describe seeing burning debris Originally the top of the building | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
was out of control, and they had that dealt with, | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
and then the centre of the building absolutely caught fire, | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
and you can still see the remnants Dubai authorities say crews | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
successfully managed to evacuate the building, | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
with no injuries reported. It's the second time | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
the six-year-old 79-storey In 2015, 100 apartments | :10:17. | :10:17. | |
were severely damaged when a massive And it's the latest in a series | :10:18. | :10:25. | |
of high-rise fires in Dubai in recent years, | :10:26. | :10:33. | |
including this inferno at the Address Downtown Hotel that | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
broke out on New Year's Eve in 2015. At the time, onlookers | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
said the blaze tore up the side of the building | :10:42. | :10:43. | |
in a matter of seconds. Many of Dubai's tower fires have | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
been blamed on the aluminium composite cladding on the outside | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
of the building, a material that was only outlawed | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
in the country in 2013. What started this latest blaze | :10:54. | :10:55. | |
is yet to be determined, but once again it will bring | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
the spotlight back on the safety. Royal Bank of Scotland has | :10:58. | :11:12. | |
reported its first half-year The bank, which is still | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
predominantly owned by the taxpayer, made almost ?940 million in the six | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
months to the end of June, compared with a loss of ?2 billion | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
in the same period last year. The Irish Prime Minister, | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
Leo Varadkar, will address the issue of Brexit and the border | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
with Northern Ireland this morning, when he makes his first official | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
visit to the province. In the past he's said the roads | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
should remain open, but has cast doubt on the British Government's | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
suggestion that technology could be Unionists have described some | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
of his comments as "unhelpful". HMRC has pledged to make | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
'significant improvements' to it's new child benefit website | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
after complaints from The Treasury Select Committee has | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
demanded the change. The site is meant to help parents | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
access the tax-free childcare scheme and free childcare for all three | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
and four-year-olds. Parts of Europe are experiencing | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
their warmest sustained Temperatures peaked at more than 40 | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
degrees in parts of Italy, Several countries have | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
issued health warnings as temperatures continue to soar, | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
while some regions are also contending with drought | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
and forest fires. That's a summary of the latest BBC | :12:16. | :12:17. | |
News - more at 9.30am. It's the start of a big ten days | :12:18. | :12:25. | |
of athletics in London, isn't it? Big names in action today? | :12:26. | :12:46. | |
Yes, more than 2000 athletes from over 200 teams will compete, and for | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
British athletes it feels extra special because it is back on home | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
ground where we have fond memories of London 2012. But two of the | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
sport's biggest names, Usain Bolt and Mo Farah, will say goodbye to | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
the track at the end of the season. The pair have 28 world and Olympic | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
titles between them. That is just amazing. For Usain Bolt, it is the | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
final championships, he is competing in the 100 metres and 4x100m relay. | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
He has talked about wanting to play either cricket or play for | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
Manchester United after this, so this is probably not the last we | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
will hear from Usain Bolt! And Britain's main gold medal hope today | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
is Mo Farah, who competes in the 10,000 metres vinyl just after 9pm | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
tonight, and after this he is preparing to focus on the marathon, | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
so it is not the end for him and if he wins tonight it will be six World | :13:38. | :13:39. | |
Championship golds for Thermo. Disappointment for England's | :13:40. | :13:51. | |
women last night. Was their semi-final defeat | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
something of a shock? They were the highest ranked team | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
left in the competition but they were knocked out 3-0 by hosts the | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
Netherlands. They had a really strong record, four wins out of four | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
opened last night and were beaten by a technically superior Dutch team in | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
front of record crowds, about 20 7000. Lots of disappointed England | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
faces at the end of the match, perhaps too soon for the team to | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
take away any good they achieved from numbers watching women's | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
football around the world and inspiring a whole new generation of | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
goals, but no final for Mark Sampson's side. The Netherlands play | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
Denmark in the final. And just very quickly for you, we knew it would | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
happen but Brazilian star Neymar has officially become a Paris St Germain | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
player at about ?200 million transfer from Barcelona. | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
I want sums of money involved in that one. | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
It is the start of the cricket for the test today and an unusual honour | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
for one of the England players? Yes, I love this story. As England | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
face South Africa in the fourth test at Old Trafford today, they lead the | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
series 2-1, James Anderson will be bowling from the James Anderson end. | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
The pavilion has been named after him this morning, | :15:12. | :15:29. | |
which usually only happens when a cricketer stops playing so it is | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
pretty surreal for him and a huge honour. | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
This is the last chance for residents of the Grenfell Tower | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
to have their say on the inquiry into the fire that | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
The public consultation closes this evening | :15:41. | :15:42. | |
into what the Inquiry should look into. | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
It'll then be up to the Prime Minister Theresa May to decide. | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
There's already been so much anger and distrust about the inquiry - | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
before it's even underway, and we'll be talking | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
about this in a moment, but first Michael Cowan has been | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
hearing from one survivor about her journey over the past 7 weeks. | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
We first met you the day after the fire. | :16:04. | :16:05. | |
We then met you a week after the fire. | :16:06. | :16:07. | |
How far do you think you have moved on from that now? | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
I've gotten help through counselling. | :16:12. | :16:25. | |
One thing you've told me that has been worrying you is the abuse that | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
Grenfell survivors are getting, from certain members of the public? | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
What sort of abuse are we talking about? | :16:38. | :16:39. | |
Very nasty comments, some of them I wouldn't even repeat. | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
And it's people thinking we are having a free ride. | :16:47. | :16:56. | |
It's people thinking we are taking advantage. | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
It's people thinking this person doesn't deserve to speak up, | :17:02. | :17:09. | |
You said you have seen incredibly racist comments made. | :17:10. | :17:18. | |
When you have been through what you have been through, | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
how does it feel to see reactions like that from the public? | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
It's just scary, because I feel scared to tell anybody now that | :17:26. | :17:38. | |
I am from the tower, because you don't know | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
We didn't want to be in the fire, we didn't burn | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
No, it's just something that happened. | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
Nobody wants to live in a hotel for a month or more. | :17:52. | :17:59. | |
How hurtful is it, when you have been through what you have been | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
through, and people are saying vicious, racist things | :18:03. | :18:04. | |
Umm, the only thing that I can say is... | :18:05. | :18:13. | |
I wouldn't wish it on anybody, even my worst enemy. | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
And, it could happen to you tomorrow and I would be the one holding... | :18:21. | :18:27. | |
And you can watch that full report from Michael Cowan just after 10. | :18:28. | :18:50. | |
We can speak now to Christos Fairbairn who was on the 15th floor | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
of Grenfell where he'd lived for two years. | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
He remained in the tower for almost three hours before escaping. | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
He thinks he may be the last person to escape the building alive. | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
The account of his escape is very distressing. | :19:07. | :19:08. | |
He is speaking on TV for the first time. | :19:09. | :19:27. | |
Eve Allison is a Conservative councillor on Kensington | :19:28. | :19:29. | |
And Louise Christian, the solicitor who represented | :19:30. | :19:40. | |
all of the bereaved families in the Lakanal fire inquest. | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
I heard a knock on the door. I don't usually answer the door if I don't | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
know who it is. I left it. About five or ten minutes later, I heard | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
noises outside and the fire alarm ringing and I realised something was | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
happening. I looked outside the window and I saw a commotion, I saw | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
police downstairs on fire people downstairs. I realised there was | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
something happening, so I went to my front door and opened the door and | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
it was full up with smoke. I close the door. What was going through | :20:19. | :20:30. | |
your mind at that point? I did know what was happening. Personally, you | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
would never think that a whole building like that would go up on | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
fire so I thought it was a little fire happening somewhere and the | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
smoke was coming up and it would go away. I didn't understand the extent | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
of it until further along the line, for me personally. Europe and the | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
door, all you can see it smoke, what did you do next? The smoke was so | :20:53. | :21:00. | |
potent, I had to open the door. I made a few phone calls to people to | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
let them know what was happening, I rang the ambulance as well and they | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
put me on to a lady. I got in contact with her, she got in contact | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
with me and found me. So that is nice. She was basically saying, you | :21:14. | :21:21. | |
have to leave the building. I would advise you to leave the building. I | :21:22. | :21:29. | |
tried on four occasions. The first occasion, I tried, I opened the door | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
and I couldn't see. I tried to find my way to the fire exit and I | :21:33. | :21:40. | |
couldn't find it. I came back. But luckily, the door opened. 90% of the | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
time, when the door closes, you have to open it with a key, but that time | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
the door open. Correct me if I am wrong, you first realised it was a | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
fire just before 1am but you didn't manage to escape until just after | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
four a:m., was happening in those four hours? I was speaking to | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
friends, I spoke to the fire people a lot of the time, I was running | :22:05. | :22:11. | |
about. It was hectic because I was basically, I was powerless. Because | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
what you have to understand, I lived on the 15th floor, I go to the gym. | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
On a few occasions, the lift hasn't worked so I have ran down the stairs | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
before and it is breathtaking. Running down there in that smoke, | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
not trying to take it in, it is difficult to do so. As I have said, | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
within that time I tried four times and I couldn't... The smoke was, the | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
smoke itself was too powerful. There was so much concoction is in it, it | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
was so strong and powerful. So I was stuck in the room going backwards | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
and forwards, opening the windows, shouting. I got cladding all over my | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
hands, as you can see. My head as well. I was trapped for about three | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
and a half hours, I couldn't get out. But you did manage to escape? I | :23:01. | :23:08. | |
managed to escape, I had no choice. At one stage, the whole of the house | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
was filled with smoke the ventilator everything. I was in the corner. I | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
was in the corner and I was at the stage now, I am going to die now. I | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
was saying to myself, if I am going to die, I might as well die trying. | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
I wear the T-shirt, put it in my mouth and I just went for it and | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
ran. What do you remember from your escape? Just trying to breathe in | :23:35. | :23:42. | |
it, finding the exit. Bouncing down the stairs. But I thought it was... | :23:43. | :23:51. | |
I thought it was holes in the flaws, from the fire people, but it was | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
bodies I was stepping on until I got further down, I tripped over. I will | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
never forget this man's phase, lying on the floor it was an Iraqi man. I | :24:02. | :24:09. | |
tripped over him and it was bodies. Astaire full of bodies that was on | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
the stairs. I just carried on. I made it to the third floor, I | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
couldn't get to the bottom because of the smoke. So I collapsed on the | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
third floor and thank you to the fire people, they actually got me | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
down from the third floor, got me out and started to get the things | :24:29. | :24:37. | |
out of me. How have you been coping since it happened, where are you | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
living now? I am living in a hotel. Quite frankly, it is difficult, | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
seeing dead bodies and being in that situation. People have died in | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
there, people I know, whole families have died. It is difficult to come | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
to terms with the fight you live in a block, you meet people every day | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
and you say hello to them and they have died. It is their whole | :25:00. | :25:07. | |
families. Not just one or two, a generation of families and their | :25:08. | :25:09. | |
families as well because it was Ramadan. It was a substantial amount | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
of people that died in there. I will be honest with you, it is difficult | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
to come to terms with. I cannot sleep at night, I have nightmares. I | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
have snippets, certain snippets of what happened, seeing the man's face | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
and it is difficult. I am tired, it is difficult to deal with. It is | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
difficult. We will come back to you. Louise, we are here today because | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
this is the deadline for submissions to the Grenfell public enquiry, what | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
do you think needs to be included in the remit for this enquiry? The | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
public enquiry needs to start very, very quickly. Cannot wait for a | :25:49. | :25:56. | |
criminal prosecution. There is a precedent for that, the Ladbroke | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
Grove train crash enquiry happened within two months of the crash | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
happening and the criminal investigation was afterwards. It is | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
important that people in tower blocks throughout the country are | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
reassured that steps have been taken to ensure they are stage of -- say. | :26:14. | :26:22. | |
The Lakanal House, the lessons should have been learned. A lot of | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
the same issues, as are the Lakanal House. We had an inquest but it was | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
downgraded to a public enquiry because of the criminal | :26:32. | :26:34. | |
investigation that lasted for three and a half years. The interest | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
wasn't until a long time afterwards and the media and people lost | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
attention. I don't want this to happen with Grenfell. Is a public | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
enquiry rather than an inquest the best way to get to the truth? I know | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
you wanted in a timely manner, but is this the best way? A public | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
enquiry has a wider scope and is better than an inquest. It can get | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
wider issues than an inquest. At the Lakanal House inquest, the tenants | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
association wouldn't allow it to represented. There is no doubt, the | :27:11. | :27:17. | |
community issues and the whole issue of why complaints from residents | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
were not heeded and what exactly this tenant management group was | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
doing, needs to be looked at. A public enquiry is much, much better. | :27:26. | :27:33. | |
Can you briefly explain what it is? A public enquiry is now set up since | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
an act of Parliament in 2005 by the government. That might be one of the | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
problems, there is too much involvement from the government. | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
Before 2005, public enquiries were more independent. But the terms of | :27:48. | :27:54. | |
reference have to be agreed with the government nowadays, rather than | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
being fixed by the enquiry chair. What do you want from this enquiry? | :27:59. | :28:06. | |
I want legal action taken against the individuals responsible. A lot | :28:07. | :28:13. | |
of people lost their family, I want them to have justice, lawful action | :28:14. | :28:17. | |
to happen and for them to be settled. It is traumatising. I don't | :28:18. | :28:26. | |
want this to continue and... And the situation of Grenfell Tower | :28:27. | :28:29. | |
happening again because it seems like it will be because there is | :28:30. | :28:35. | |
still cladding in places, all over England. They could start all over | :28:36. | :28:41. | |
again. If you could not repeat this again and do something about it, | :28:42. | :28:47. | |
then that will lower the... There is a lot of people out there who are | :28:48. | :28:51. | |
mentally unstable because could it happen here, we have cladding here. | :28:52. | :28:57. | |
A lot of people unhappy, at the end of the day. As you can see, Grenfell | :28:58. | :29:06. | |
Tower, within seconds, within 15 minutes, it was on fire. There is a | :29:07. | :29:15. | |
huge problem with trust out when it comes to Kensington and Chelsea | :29:16. | :29:19. | |
Council, how can people trust you going forward? I run about three | :29:20. | :29:29. | |
wards, lowland, Nottingham Barnes and Saint Helens Ward, which is my | :29:30. | :29:34. | |
ward. I see and talk to the average person the rest of my colleagues | :29:35. | :29:38. | |
would ordinarily not talk to. When you see posters up that say, | :29:39. | :29:48. | |
corporate massacre, and the people deserve and want justice, then you | :29:49. | :29:55. | |
have to have some sort of feeling and some sort of depth to | :29:56. | :29:59. | |
understand, why should somebody want to put that up. I go about and I | :30:00. | :30:06. | |
speak to people that man gazebos late at night close to Grenfell | :30:07. | :30:12. | |
Tower with provisions, water and food. These are the kind of people | :30:13. | :30:17. | |
that this enquiry, public enquiry needs to reach. It is to reach the | :30:18. | :30:21. | |
people that don't have a voice, the people that cannot come on your | :30:22. | :30:26. | |
lovely TV set and dress up nicely, as we are. It is to the lady that | :30:27. | :30:34. | |
comes from Windsor who served me TV other day at the assistance centre | :30:35. | :30:41. | |
that is now in Baard Road. It is Samir, the orthodox Muslim lady I | :30:42. | :30:45. | |
was talking to who is traumatised herself but has to get up each and | :30:46. | :30:49. | |
every day and go and help traumatised families. It is to all | :30:50. | :30:52. | |
the Silent Muslim Women's Network cannot come forward for their | :30:53. | :30:58. | |
cultural and societal reasons. They can tell me they cannot come on your | :30:59. | :31:05. | |
TV set and tell you why. People need answers and whether that means | :31:06. | :31:08. | |
Kensington and Chelsea falls on their own sword, so be it, we need | :31:09. | :31:12. | |
to be open and transparent and we need to be honest and that is the | :31:13. | :31:15. | |
only way we are going to get the truth. Yes, we are making great | :31:16. | :31:19. | |
strides now in our packages of care with what we are offering residents, | :31:20. | :31:25. | |
but ordinarily, when I hear stories of people that have been in hotels | :31:26. | :31:29. | |
for so long, cramped with their kids and their children, they need to be | :31:30. | :31:34. | |
put into permanent housing as soon as possible. You can only live out | :31:35. | :31:39. | |
of, you can only live with a suitcase for so long. You need to be | :31:40. | :31:41. | |
properly settled. Can the inquiry be trusted to get to | :31:42. | :31:52. | |
the truth? We have reached this point now and we have to have some | :31:53. | :31:55. | |
degree of trust in the judge and go from there, because this is a | :31:56. | :32:02. | |
democracy, it is not about who shout the loudest, so we have to give some | :32:03. | :32:07. | |
sort of respect to that and go from there, but where are lots of people | :32:08. | :32:15. | |
who feel they are not going to get proper justice. It doesn't matter | :32:16. | :32:18. | |
what Kensington and Chelsea does because trust has already been | :32:19. | :32:21. | |
broken, Grunfeld should not have happened, but it did. -- Grenfell. | :32:22. | :32:31. | |
There was criticism of the judge, Sir Martin Moore-Bick, when he was | :32:32. | :32:36. | |
appointed, if he does not have the respect of survivors, families and | :32:37. | :32:40. | |
residents, is that not worrying? He's a very experienced senior judge | :32:41. | :32:44. | |
and I would trust him to carry out the role he has been given. However, | :32:45. | :32:49. | |
I do think maybe the inquiry should consider appointing a couple of | :32:50. | :32:56. | |
other experts who would reflect the diversity of the community. They | :32:57. | :33:00. | |
should be independent people, I think, not from the community, but | :33:01. | :33:03. | |
that was done in the Lawrence inquiry and was very effective, and | :33:04. | :33:09. | |
in my response to the consultation I have recommended that to the inquiry | :33:10. | :33:17. | |
as a possible way forward. I saw you were nodding, you agree? It need | :33:18. | :33:22. | |
someone who is there, part of it, at the end of the day, someone from the | :33:23. | :33:26. | |
community to speak, or someone who has been there before because it has | :33:27. | :33:31. | |
more of an effect, because when people are in an inquiry, it is just | :33:32. | :33:35. | |
business, it is just them doing the job they are doing, but someone from | :33:36. | :33:41. | |
the community who have actually been there or donate or was actually | :33:42. | :33:45. | |
involved in it, it is more personal, and for me, personally, a lot of | :33:46. | :33:49. | |
people died and a lot of people are still missing, and it is very sad | :33:50. | :33:55. | |
and I just hope that it does get sorted out and it doesn't repeat | :33:56. | :34:00. | |
itself, and the people that suffered and lost family, that they can get | :34:01. | :34:03. | |
on with their life in time to come because it is, for me personally, | :34:04. | :34:10. | |
I'm still trying to cope with what happened and other people in their | :34:11. | :34:15. | |
lost their family, the homes, generations of families, and for me, | :34:16. | :34:20. | |
personally, I just hope it doesn't repeat itself and the people who | :34:21. | :34:28. | |
have been affected by it get help mentally, physically, and can carry | :34:29. | :34:31. | |
on with their lives. Thank you so much for coming in to share your | :34:32. | :34:32. | |
story. If you are going on holiday to | :34:33. | :34:42. | |
Europe, you may face long queues as airports have increased security | :34:43. | :34:45. | |
measures and passport checks. We speak to two British tourists | :34:46. | :34:46. | |
who missed their flights as a result. | :34:47. | :34:52. | |
And can Mo Farah and Usain Bolt go out with a bang? They will both | :34:53. | :34:56. | |
retire from the sport after the World Championships, which begin | :34:57. | :34:59. | |
with the opening ceremony tonight in the London stadium. | :35:00. | :35:04. | |
Here's Martine in the BBC Newsroom with a summary of today's news. | :35:05. | :35:13. | |
The investigation into Russian attempts to interfere in last year's | :35:14. | :35:17. | |
US presidential election is gathering pace. It has emerged | :35:18. | :35:21. | |
special counsel Robert Mueller has convened a grand jury in Washington, | :35:22. | :35:25. | |
the first step towards possible criminal charges. President Trump | :35:26. | :35:29. | |
poured scorn on the inquiry, saying it was a total fabrication. | :35:30. | :35:31. | |
The deadline for submissions on what the Grenfell Tower fire | :35:32. | :35:33. | |
inquiry should cover will expire later today. | :35:34. | :35:37. | |
Hundreds of suggestions have been received. | :35:38. | :35:40. | |
Inquiry head Sir Martin Moore-Bick promised to consider a broad range | :35:41. | :35:42. | |
of evidence when he launched a public consultation into the terms | :35:43. | :35:45. | |
Four teenagers have been arrested in north London on suspicion | :35:46. | :35:49. | |
They were tracked by a police helicopter in the early hours | :35:50. | :35:55. | |
of this morning dumping a stolen moped, before being detained | :35:56. | :35:57. | |
A British computer expert who helped stop the WannaCry cyber attack that | :35:58. | :36:05. | |
crippled the NHS has appeared before a judge in the US over alleged links | :36:06. | :36:08. | |
Marcus Hutchins, who's 23 and from Devon, was arrested | :36:09. | :36:17. | |
in Las Vegas on suspicion of distributing malware | :36:18. | :36:19. | |
designed to steal bank and credit card details. | :36:20. | :36:25. | |
Oxford University has urged one of its employees, | :36:26. | :36:27. | |
who's suspected of murdering a man in Chicago, to hand himself | :36:28. | :36:29. | |
Andrew Warren, who's 56, is wanted alongside an American professor, | :36:30. | :36:33. | |
in connection with the death of a man found with | :36:34. | :36:35. | |
One of the world's tallest residential buildings, | :36:36. | :36:39. | |
the Torch tower in Dubai, has caught fire for the second | :36:40. | :36:42. | |
Firefighters say the 79-storey building was evacuated without any | :36:43. | :36:49. | |
injuries and the blaze is now under control. | :36:50. | :36:51. | |
A previous fire in 2015 was blamed, in part, on flammable cladding. | :36:52. | :36:57. | |
That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 10am. | :36:58. | :37:03. | |
Let's just read out one of your messages. Julie on Twitter, this | :37:04. | :37:10. | |
young man is amazing, a true representative of Grenfell, calm and | :37:11. | :37:16. | |
reasoned and very brave. Talking about our interview with | :37:17. | :37:19. | |
Christios, which you should be able to see online. | :37:20. | :37:24. | |
If you're jetting off to Europe in the next few weeks, | :37:25. | :37:27. | |
you could end up missing precious sunshine hours because of delays | :37:28. | :37:30. | |
Tighter security checks have been brought in for those entering | :37:31. | :37:33. | |
and leaving countries outside the special Schengen area of the EU, | :37:34. | :37:36. | |
The new measures are in response to the recent terror attacks, | :37:37. | :37:40. | |
but many European airports are unprepared and understaffed to | :37:41. | :37:43. | |
Border staff in the affected countries have to swipe each | :37:44. | :37:49. | |
passport through a reader, rather than waving Brits through. | :37:50. | :37:51. | |
The European Commission says the delays are | :37:52. | :37:53. | |
But what does it mean for your summer holiday? | :37:54. | :38:03. | |
Let's talk now to Sean Tipton, from the Association | :38:04. | :38:05. | |
of British Travel Agents, about how passengers can prepare | :38:06. | :38:08. | |
Thomas Reynaert is from Airlines For Europe, a lobby group | :38:09. | :38:11. | |
Daniel Miller was stranded with his partner in Barcelona | :38:12. | :38:16. | |
Thank you for joining us today. How bad is the situation, given that | :38:17. | :38:28. | |
this is one of the busiest weekends for travel in the country? August is | :38:29. | :38:34. | |
always the busiest month for holidays, obviously families jetting | :38:35. | :38:39. | |
off, we did research at the start of the school holidays and found 2.4 | :38:40. | :38:42. | |
million people were heading off on one weekend, a record number so we | :38:43. | :38:46. | |
are already busy. The second thing is these new security measures that | :38:47. | :38:50. | |
come into place, you would expect to see longer queues, but what is most | :38:51. | :38:53. | |
important about all of this is that some of the reports come out saying | :38:54. | :38:57. | |
people have been stuck for four housing queues, that has not been | :38:58. | :39:01. | |
our experience, it has been the case in a limited number of examples but | :39:02. | :39:05. | |
in most places people are getting through passport control pretty | :39:06. | :39:09. | |
swiftly. There might be an issue in certain airports where they have not | :39:10. | :39:12. | |
considered how to deal with the fact that record numbers of August plus | :39:13. | :39:17. | |
these new requirements, they may be understaffed. The frustrating thing | :39:18. | :39:20. | |
for holiday-makers is when you turn up on holiday and there is a big | :39:21. | :39:24. | |
queue and you see just one person on border control with two empty boots, | :39:25. | :39:28. | |
that is not good enough, so I think there is a bit of a learning curve, | :39:29. | :39:41. | |
certain airports did not expect to be this busy and they have not | :39:42. | :39:43. | |
resourced it properly but I think that will change. We spoke to our | :39:44. | :39:46. | |
members in the last few days and said, are you finding problems? Most | :39:47. | :39:49. | |
of them came back and said people are having to queue for a bit longer | :39:50. | :39:52. | |
but they have had very few delayed aircraft because of it. I am not | :39:53. | :39:55. | |
saying it is not happening but it is not as bad as people think, I would | :39:56. | :39:56. | |
say four ours is excessive. Kate Meeks was one of 22 passengers | :39:57. | :39:57. | |
that missed her flight What happened? We got to the airport | :39:58. | :40:10. | |
in plenty of time, checked in our bags, security checks, it wasn't a | :40:11. | :40:15. | |
problem. We looked at the board that told us we needed to go to an area | :40:16. | :40:20. | |
of Barcelona airport, we were quite near the area, waiting for our gate | :40:21. | :40:25. | |
number. That came up half an hour before the plane was due to take | :40:26. | :40:30. | |
off. Little did we know that we had to go through an extra passport | :40:31. | :40:35. | |
control where there were over 1000 people trying to get four flights, a | :40:36. | :40:42. | |
flight to Moscow, to the USA, and two Ryanair flights. People were | :40:43. | :40:47. | |
shouting in the crowd, is anyone else for the Birmingham flight? | :40:48. | :40:52. | |
There was a show of hands. Two men from our flight tried to go to the | :40:53. | :40:56. | |
front to say, can we go through, we are going to miss our flight? The | :40:57. | :41:00. | |
security staff were rude and abusive, demanded they go back to | :41:01. | :41:03. | |
the end of the queue or they would be thrown out of Barcelona airport. | :41:04. | :41:10. | |
It was absolutely horrendous, so by the time we got to the gate, gate | :41:11. | :41:19. | |
42, the gate was closed although the bridge was still attached to the | :41:20. | :41:22. | |
plane. There were 22 of us, we begged to go on the plane and they | :41:23. | :41:27. | |
said they could not let us on the plane but it took them half an hour | :41:28. | :41:33. | |
to get our luggage off the plane. This has caused an absolute | :41:34. | :41:36. | |
nightmare for all of us through missed flight connections, financial | :41:37. | :41:43. | |
cost, mental cost, my son is autistic, there was a little baby | :41:44. | :41:47. | |
llama, a lady that needed life-saving injections, it was | :41:48. | :41:51. | |
awful, absolutely awful. How much has this cost you? It sounds awful | :41:52. | :41:56. | |
but in terms of money, how much has it cost you? We had to find another | :41:57. | :42:00. | |
hotel, we were not given any help with hotels, so a day's loss of | :42:01. | :42:08. | |
work, it cost just over ?500 extra because there were no flights until | :42:09. | :42:13. | |
the next day. ?500? I want to bring in Thomas, thank you for joining us. | :42:14. | :42:19. | |
We heard Kate's story, how many other British passengers like Kate | :42:20. | :42:27. | |
were affected or will be affected? We have not seen the recent numbers, | :42:28. | :42:32. | |
but what I have just heard is quite disturbing, it is a real scandal | :42:33. | :42:39. | |
that because of the lack of resources in some of the airports, | :42:40. | :42:44. | |
we are talking about a minority of airports, it has just caused all the | :42:45. | :42:49. | |
disruption. The exact figures I have not seen since yesterday, | :42:50. | :42:53. | |
unfortunately. These tighter security measures have been in place | :42:54. | :42:57. | |
since April, so why these horrific delays now? The delays, as far as I | :42:58. | :43:04. | |
understand, at least two national governments, France and Spain, just | :43:05. | :43:09. | |
recently, because of our campaign, have finally promised to put in new | :43:10. | :43:13. | |
staffing resources but unfortunately we have not seen any concrete | :43:14. | :43:17. | |
improvement in the field, so it is airports like Malaga, Majorca, a big | :43:18. | :43:23. | |
problem this weekend with Palmer do Majorca and loan which will face | :43:24. | :43:25. | |
hundreds of thousands of passengers going through the airport, Lisbon is | :43:26. | :43:32. | |
another one, Paris, so we have unfortunately not seen any concrete | :43:33. | :43:35. | |
improvement but what is encouraging at a political level, everything is | :43:36. | :43:41. | |
being done, so Julian King, EU Commissioner for security measures, | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
has recently, only yesterday, I believe, urged those national | :43:47. | :43:49. | |
governments to get their act together and put the resources in | :43:50. | :43:53. | |
place because of the urgency of the situation. If picking up a phone and | :43:54. | :43:57. | |
saying to another country, can you put more staff on and sort this out, | :43:58. | :44:01. | |
is that going to have the effect that it needs to immediately? What | :44:02. | :44:04. | |
happens to all those passengers who are travelling, this is the busiest | :44:05. | :44:10. | |
weekend, the busiest weeks for travel in the year? Yes, as you just | :44:11. | :44:15. | |
heard, air travel is quite complex, airports are involved, they have a | :44:16. | :44:19. | |
responsibility but also national governments, in this case this is | :44:20. | :44:22. | |
national governments' responsibility, not the airport or | :44:23. | :44:27. | |
airlines. We do what we can, unfortunately hundreds of flights | :44:28. | :44:32. | |
have been delayed for an average of 30 minutes, some more, some less, so | :44:33. | :44:38. | |
we do what we can to accommodate our passengers and passengers should | :44:39. | :44:44. | |
contact airlines if they have any more questions but we do what we can | :44:45. | :44:47. | |
in this situation, which is getting a bit out of control in terms of | :44:48. | :44:51. | |
security checks. Let me bring in Daniel, thank you for joining us. | :44:52. | :44:57. | |
What happened to you? Basically I missed two flights with my partner | :44:58. | :45:01. | |
due to the heavy queues and extra checks. The problem for me is that, | :45:02. | :45:06. | |
like I say, when you are understaffed there are not enough in | :45:07. | :45:09. | |
place to vent deal with the mass of people that are coming through. | :45:10. | :45:14. | |
Let's just go back to the fact that you missed two flights, how did that | :45:15. | :45:18. | |
happen? I left enough time to make my first flight but as I got through | :45:19. | :45:23. | |
all the checks and whatever else, I was then told they had closed the | :45:24. | :45:29. | |
gate two minutes before. My name was not called out, my partner's name, | :45:30. | :45:33. | |
there was no information passed on to me to let me know I was about to | :45:34. | :45:38. | |
miss the flight, as well as heavy queues and security checks, and then | :45:39. | :45:41. | |
from there and I missed another flight for the same reason, pretty | :45:42. | :45:46. | |
much, so it is a massive miscommunication, that was the main | :45:47. | :45:51. | |
thing. It sounds like a very stressful situation. How did you and | :45:52. | :45:53. | |
your girlfriend cope, and what could have been done to make a bad | :45:54. | :46:01. | |
situation better? Me and my partner are still struggling quite a bit | :46:02. | :46:05. | |
with everything going on, we have put lives to get back to after our | :46:06. | :46:10. | |
holiday and we want to make sure our story is heard, but it has been very | :46:11. | :46:13. | |
difficult mentally and physically, like Kate said, we were with Kate at | :46:14. | :46:20. | |
the time it happened, but with extra checks, do need more staff, and the | :46:21. | :46:25. | |
day after, when a flight was issued to us, the EU passport checks was | :46:26. | :46:30. | |
open, whereas the day before, when there were five flights, one to the | :46:31. | :46:35. | |
UK, it was not open. So it is time wasting, really, it is as if we were | :46:36. | :46:40. | |
not meant to catch the flight. Do you know if you can get any | :46:41. | :46:43. | |
compensation for the missed flight? That is what we are trying to do, | :46:44. | :46:49. | |
and extra stress and time-consuming because we are putting through | :46:50. | :46:51. | |
claims from travel insurance and trying to see who we can talk to, | :46:52. | :46:57. | |
which is another thing, struggling to find information on who we can go | :46:58. | :46:59. | |
to for these things. Do you think they will be able to | :47:00. | :47:10. | |
get compensation? I don't think so. It is doubtful. What we are hearing | :47:11. | :47:15. | |
is the queues will be longer. You need to leave extra time, you might | :47:16. | :47:18. | |
be lucky and get through in ten minutes. My girlfriend went to | :47:19. | :47:23. | |
mediocre and got through in 15 minutes. -- Majorca. Busy when | :47:24. | :47:30. | |
planes are arriving at the same time and departing on the same time. | :47:31. | :47:33. | |
These new checks will not help that, so leave the extra time. How much | :47:34. | :47:40. | |
time? It is not an exact science. How much time did you leave, Daniel? | :47:41. | :47:46. | |
We were there two hours before but there was information for passengers | :47:47. | :47:51. | |
to be there three hours before but that information was passed out. | :47:52. | :47:57. | |
Kate, how long will you there before your flight? Three hours before but | :47:58. | :48:00. | |
they didn't put the gate number up until half an hour before the plane | :48:01. | :48:04. | |
was due to go. Then we have this extra passport control that we | :48:05. | :48:08. | |
didn't realise. We couldn't have gone through because we didn't have | :48:09. | :48:14. | |
the information. Thank you. That is the point, people don't realise they | :48:15. | :48:17. | |
have to go through another control area. You've gone through security | :48:18. | :48:21. | |
and that is it, no, you have passport control as well so bear it | :48:22. | :48:25. | |
in mind and get there in plenty of time. He might find it is | :48:26. | :48:29. | |
unnecessary, but then you might find there is a big queue. It is a big | :48:30. | :48:33. | |
risk to take, so head off a little bit earlier. Also there is the | :48:34. | :48:39. | |
worry. I was in Argentina a few years ago and the queues were | :48:40. | :48:42. | |
horrendous and I got there three hours early and I knew there might | :48:43. | :48:46. | |
be issues and I almost missed my flight. They did get on, but I was | :48:47. | :48:50. | |
worried all that time. It is not just missing the flag, it is the | :48:51. | :48:54. | |
stress as well. You might end up sitting in the departure lounge for | :48:55. | :48:58. | |
another hour but it is better than the worry of potentially missing | :48:59. | :49:01. | |
your flight. Any other advice, are there other places worse than | :49:02. | :49:09. | |
others? Places like Majorca, Palmer, they have 3000 flights coming in | :49:10. | :49:13. | |
this weekend so it is the more popular places that will be busier. | :49:14. | :49:17. | |
But if you are going to some little rural airport, chances are you will | :49:18. | :49:21. | |
be the only flight coming in so not much of an issue. Some airports | :49:22. | :49:25. | |
clearly, by the sounds of it, need to do more in putting in resources. | :49:26. | :49:29. | |
British airports have been leading the way in this and it is with | :49:30. | :49:38. | |
things like ePassport gates. The gate will check the information | :49:39. | :49:43. | |
automatically and you will get through much quicker. So more staff, | :49:44. | :49:49. | |
and things like ePassport will make these things quicker. But it is a | :49:50. | :49:53. | |
learning curve, it has only just been brought in. If you want to | :49:54. | :49:57. | |
share your stories with us if you are travelling this weekend or are | :49:58. | :49:59. | |
abroad and having difficulties. Today is the final day | :50:00. | :50:01. | |
for the public consultation Our reporter has been speaking to a | :50:02. | :50:18. | |
survivor and that interview will be coming up in half an hour. | :50:19. | :50:21. | |
The 2017 World Athletics Championships kick off tonight | :50:22. | :50:23. | |
Usain Bolt and Mo Farah will be taking to global stage for the last | :50:24. | :50:28. | |
time at the competition - bidding to crown their track careers | :50:29. | :50:31. | |
Bolt plans to compete in the one hundred metres and the four by one | :50:32. | :50:35. | |
hundred metre relay as he bids farewell to the sport. | :50:36. | :50:37. | |
Meanwhile Great Britain's Farah, who will switch to road racing next | :50:38. | :50:40. | |
season, seeks to complete an unprecedented fifth double | :50:41. | :50:42. | |
in the 5000 and 10,000 metres races, having won both titles at the last | :50:43. | :50:45. | |
We can cross now live to the Olympic Park, | :50:46. | :50:50. | |
where our reporter Jessica Creighton can tell us more | :50:51. | :50:54. | |
It is very exciting. Fans are in for a treat. All the action will take | :50:55. | :51:10. | |
place in that very stadium behind me. For the British athletes it is a | :51:11. | :51:14. | |
stadium that has created happy memories. Five years ago at the | :51:15. | :51:19. | |
London Olympics. Who could forget the special time, Super Saturday | :51:20. | :51:25. | |
where it seemed to be reigning gold medals for British athletes. That | :51:26. | :51:28. | |
medal count is expected for the British athletes, six to eight | :51:29. | :51:34. | |
medals. One of those British athletes who will hopefully get | :51:35. | :51:38. | |
Britain towards that medal count is Sir Mo, he will be on the track | :51:39. | :51:42. | |
tonight running in the 10,000 metre final. It was at this track where he | :51:43. | :51:47. | |
entered superstardom. It was here when he won his first Olympic medals | :51:48. | :51:52. | |
in the 5,000m and the 10,000 metres and it really propelled him into the | :51:53. | :51:58. | |
limelight. You would expect him to do very well this evening when he | :51:59. | :52:03. | |
goes up against the world's bass. Also, you might expect to possibly | :52:04. | :52:08. | |
win a medal. Not tonight, she is running in the heats, Laura Muir or | :52:09. | :52:13. | |
in the 1500 metres. She is trying to do a famous double, running in the | :52:14. | :52:19. | |
1500 metres and the 5,000m. Can she do it? It will be a big as, | :52:20. | :52:23. | |
considering she has had a good season but has suffered with an | :52:24. | :52:30. | |
injury just back in June. We will see how it has affected her | :52:31. | :52:35. | |
confidence, but the British fans, with this being a home World | :52:36. | :52:38. | |
Championships, the fans will be roaring on both Mo Farah and | :52:39. | :52:41. | |
lowering your tonight for the opening day of these championships. | :52:42. | :52:45. | |
The stage is set and the weather looks great. This is using's Bolt | :52:46. | :52:51. | |
last ever competitive appearance, I almost believe it? What is athletics | :52:52. | :52:59. | |
going to do without such a special character as Usain Bolt. He is an 11 | :53:00. | :53:03. | |
time world champion, has eight Olympic medals to his name. This is | :53:04. | :53:09. | |
a man who has lit up running tracks around the world for over a decade. | :53:10. | :53:14. | |
He has won pretty much everything there is to win. Fans across the | :53:15. | :53:18. | |
globe love him. Let's take a look at some of the people who can remember | :53:19. | :53:22. | |
the first time they watched Usain Bolt in action. | :53:23. | :53:28. | |
The first time I saw Bolt run was Athens 2004. | :53:29. | :53:31. | |
I thought he had incredible talent, but a little bit gangly. | :53:32. | :53:33. | |
I never would have thought he would be the world | :53:34. | :53:36. | |
I first remember seeing Usain Bolt perform in 2009, in Berlin. | :53:37. | :53:40. | |
I had just won the heptathlon and was doing my lap of honour | :53:41. | :53:44. | |
with the rest of the heptathletes and we were actually track-side | :53:45. | :53:46. | |
watching him run his world record in the 100 metres, | :53:47. | :53:49. | |
I'm talking about the Junior Pan-American Games, | :53:50. | :53:56. | |
way back in the day, when he first did something that | :53:57. | :53:59. | |
He ran the race, he won it, and he saluted Jamaica. | :54:00. | :54:04. | |
Everyone was like - this kid, national hero! | :54:05. | :54:06. | |
Someone like that, his stamp cannot be erased. | :54:07. | :54:09. | |
I remember the first time I saw Usain Bolt running was on TV, | :54:10. | :54:12. | |
of course, then I had the chance to see him as I was | :54:13. | :54:15. | |
I was still a kid, and young athletes were running after him | :54:16. | :54:22. | |
I got his bib, and I put it on my wall for years! | :54:23. | :54:32. | |
The first time I saw Usain Bolt was 2008, so that was on TV, | :54:33. | :54:35. | |
This really inspired me as an athlete, back then, | :54:36. | :54:39. | |
thinking back to watching what he's done - it has really inspired | :54:40. | :54:41. | |
He has inspired so many, I was lucky enough to be in the stadium for the | :54:42. | :54:55. | |
2012 Olympics and I have never seen a crowd react in the way they react | :54:56. | :55:01. | |
to him. His unique personality, his incredible performances, they love | :55:02. | :55:05. | |
everything about him. Sport in general, not just athletics, will | :55:06. | :55:09. | |
miss this character. He will be in the opening rounds of the 100 and | :55:10. | :55:12. | |
the tonight and I can only dream of the reception he is going to get. A | :55:13. | :55:18. | |
few days later towards the end of these championships he will be | :55:19. | :55:21. | |
running in the four by 100 and the relay with his Jamaican team-mates, | :55:22. | :55:26. | |
obviously. After that, he retires. This will be his last major | :55:27. | :55:30. | |
championship. It is quite a sad day. I cannot wait for tonight. What is | :55:31. | :55:36. | |
TeamGB's target for the World Championships? They expect to reach | :55:37. | :55:44. | |
about six to eight medals. I have already spoken to Ed Warner today, | :55:45. | :55:49. | |
the head of UK athletics. He is very confident that Team GB will reach | :55:50. | :55:58. | |
that medal target. It is a young and inexperienced team. The likes of | :55:59. | :56:02. | |
Jessica Ennis-Hill have retired, Greg Rutherford, Olympic champion on | :56:03. | :56:07. | |
2012 on Super Saturday in the long jump is injured. Where will the | :56:08. | :56:11. | |
medals come from? They have the likes of Sir Mo who will be going | :56:12. | :56:15. | |
for the double gold in the 5000 and 10,000. Laurini your in the 1500 | :56:16. | :56:22. | |
metre heats tonight. Sophie Hitchon in the hammer, she is a possibility | :56:23. | :56:27. | |
on the track. In the 100 and it is, Usain Bolt will be running, but the | :56:28. | :56:33. | |
British athlete CGU jet has been talking himself up in the build-up | :56:34. | :56:38. | |
to these World Championships saying he has seen a few chinks in the | :56:39. | :56:42. | |
Armada Usain Bolt, and if he gets to the final, he could beat Usain Bolt. | :56:43. | :56:45. | |
He said once he gets to the starting line of the 100 metres, it is | :56:46. | :56:52. | |
anyone's. It will be interesting to see if he can back it up with a good | :56:53. | :56:55. | |
performance. We will have to wait and see. Y very much. | :56:56. | :57:06. | |
Coming up, Marcus Hutchins from Devon has been accused of creating | :57:07. | :57:11. | |
malware to steal bank details. We get the latest. | :57:12. | :57:14. | |
Let's get the latest weather update, with Lucy Martin. | :57:15. | :57:18. | |
How is it looking this weekend? It is looking OK in the UK this weekend | :57:19. | :57:25. | |
but hot temperatures across Europe. About 45 degrees Celsius above the | :57:26. | :57:33. | |
average. We have high humidity at the moment which means it is quite | :57:34. | :57:38. | |
unpleasant and the heat is more difficult. You can see the | :57:39. | :57:42. | |
temperatures in Italy today. They are going to reach about 46 Celsius. | :57:43. | :57:48. | |
That is so hot. And way above what we would expect to see. The average | :57:49. | :57:54. | |
is about 30 Celsius, 15 Celsius above average. And 48.5 Celsius is | :57:55. | :58:00. | |
the highest recorded temperature in Italy. I don't think we will beat | :58:01. | :58:04. | |
that over the next few days but we could see the local records beaten. | :58:05. | :58:08. | |
Added in at the moment we have the worst drought we have seen in Italy | :58:09. | :58:13. | |
for 60 years. It is having a big impact at the moment. They are | :58:14. | :58:18. | |
desperate for it to cool down? It is a different story across the | :58:19. | :58:22. | |
UK at the moment and that is thanks to this area of low pressure. And | :58:23. | :58:26. | |
that is moving slowly towards the east as we move through the day. We | :58:27. | :58:31. | |
are looking at a day of sunny spells and showers. Plenty of sunny spells | :58:32. | :58:39. | |
around England and Wales, lots of dry weather. Feeling warmer banks to | :58:40. | :58:46. | |
lighter winds than yesterday. A day of sunny spells and showers in | :58:47. | :58:50. | |
Northern Ireland. It could be heavy into the afternoon. The odd rumble | :58:51. | :58:54. | |
of thunder not out of the question. For Scotland, cloudy day with bright | :58:55. | :58:58. | |
intervals developing but we could see some heavy showers in the | :58:59. | :59:01. | |
south-east with the odd rumble of thunder. Temperatures reaching 23 | :59:02. | :59:06. | |
Celsius in the south-east. If you are going to the golf, it is looking | :59:07. | :59:11. | |
like a cloudy day. There will be a few showery outbreaks of rain at | :59:12. | :59:15. | |
times. Some bright intervals here and there but a cloudy day and | :59:16. | :59:18. | |
though showers could be heavy into the afternoon. Overnight, a few | :59:19. | :59:22. | |
showers in the north, but they should ease and lots of clear and | :59:23. | :59:28. | |
dry spells across England and Wales. Showers feeding into Wales as we | :59:29. | :59:33. | |
move into the early hours. Set us up for the day tomorrow. Tomorrow is | :59:34. | :59:38. | |
looking like a day of sunny spells and showers. Showers pretty much | :59:39. | :59:42. | |
anywhere, but mainly they will be focused across Wales and into the | :59:43. | :59:46. | |
Midlands and later in the east Anglia. A band of showers across | :59:47. | :59:51. | |
central and southern Scotland as well. Temperatures cooler with a | :59:52. | :59:56. | |
maximum of 21 Celsius tomorrow in the south-east. As we move into the | :59:57. | :59:59. | |
weekend we will start to see a ridge of high pressure and into Sunday | :00:00. | :00:03. | |
sorry we have a ridge of high pressure which will settle things | :00:04. | :00:10. | |
down but an area of low pressure not far away. A fresh start to the day | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
on Sunday, plenty of brightness around with showers but we will see | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
the rain edging in from the West into Northern Ireland and later into | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
Scotland. Showers on the way as we move through Saturday. Dry and | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
bright weather around but starting to see some more unsettled, showery | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
rain pushing in from the West later. Hello, I'm Tina Daheley, | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
in for Victoria. As the consultation on what should | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
be included in the Grenfell Tower fire inquiry comes to an end, | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
we hear from residents about how they're coping with flashbacks | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
following the tragedy. I was in a corner and it was at the | :00:40. | :00:52. | |
stage where, I'm going to die now, whatever happens, I'm going to die. | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
And I said to myself, if I'm going to die, I may as well die trying. So | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
I got a T-shirt, wet it, put it on my mouth, and I just went for it, I | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
went for it, I went for it. You can hear more from Christos | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
in a few minutes' time. And we'll hear from a woman | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
who escaped the fire. She says survivors are suffering | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
online abuse, and she is calling for it to stop. | :01:17. | :01:24. | |
The first step to possible criminal charges in the investigation into | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
Russian meddling in the US presidential election. President | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
Trump has rubbished the investigation. | :01:36. | :01:35. | |
The Russia story is a total fabrication. | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
It's just an excuse for the greatest loss in the history of American | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
And the man who helped bring down the worldwide cyber attack that hit | :01:41. | :01:55. | |
the NHS is now in a US Court accused of creating malware that steals bank | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
details. And I am at the Olympic Park for the | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
world Athletics Championships, five years today since super Saturday. | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
Organisers will certainly hope for yet memorable moments. | :02:10. | :02:17. | |
Here's Martine in the BBC Newsroom with a summary of today's news. | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
The deadline for submissions on what the Grenfell Tower fire | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
inquiry should cover expires at 5pm this afternoon. | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
Hundreds of suggestions have already been received. | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
The head of the Inquiry, Sir Martin Moore-Bick, | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
promised to consider a broad range of evidence when he launched | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
a public consultation into the terms of reference in July. | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
Christos Fairbairn lived on the 15th floor of Grenfell, | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
and spoke to this programme about battling the smoke to escape. | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
Just going for it, trying to breed in it, finding the exit. Bouncing | :02:54. | :03:05. | |
down the stairs. I thought it was the holes from the fire people going | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
through the floors, I didn't realise that it was actually bodies I was | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
stepping on until I got further down and actually tripped over, I will | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
never forget this man's face, it was an Iraqi man lying on the floor, he | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
was gone, and I tripped over him and realised that it was bodies, a stair | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
fall of bodies on the stairs. In the US, the investigation | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
into Russian attempts to interfere in last year's Presidential election | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
is gathering pace. It's emerged that special counsel | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
Robert Mueller has convened a Grand Jury in Washington, | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
the first step towards President Trump poured | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
scorn on the inquiry, A British computer expert who helped | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
stop the WannaCry cyber attack that crippled the NHS has appeared before | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
a judge in the US over alleged links Marcus Hutchins, who's 23 | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
and from Devon, was arrested in Las Vegas on suspicion | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
of distributing malware designed to steal bank | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
and credit card details. Oxford University has urged | :04:03. | :04:08. | |

of a man found with Royal Bank of Scotland has | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
reported its first half-year The bank, which is still | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
predominantly owned by the taxpayer, made almost ?940 million in the six | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
months to the end of June, compared with a loss of ?2 billion | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
in the same period last year. Police in Australia say two men | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
charged with plotting to bring down a plane were taking directions | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
from a senior commander in the so-called Islamic | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
State group in Syria. Investigators believe | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
they had made a bomb A third man is still | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
being questioned. One of the world's tallest | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
residential buildings, the Torch tower in Dubai, | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
has caught fire for the second Firefighters say the 79-storey | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
building was evacuated without any injuries and the blaze | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
is now under control. A previous fire in 2015 was blamed, | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
in part, on flammable cladding. Parts of Europe are experiencing | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
their warmest sustained heatwave Temperatures peaked at more than 40 | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
degrees in parts of Italy, Several countries have | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
issued health warnings as temperatures continue to soar, | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
while some regions are also contending with drought | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
and forest fires. That's a summary of the latest BBC | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
News - more at 10.30am. You have been getting in touch on | :05:31. | :05:44. | |
our story about queues at some airports in Europe because of | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
security arrangements that have been introduced by the European | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
Commission. Frederick e-mailed to say, two friends of mine arrived at | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
Heathrow terminal free from Paris yesterday and waited over an hour to | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
get through immigration, so delays are not limited to Europe but also | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
occur in British airports. Mr Conway on Twitter says, sorry, | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
all of those whingeing need to get a grip, delay or getting their safety? | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
I would take getting there safely every time! | :06:13. | :06:13. | |
Keep them coming in. If you text, you will be charged | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
at the standard network rate. It's over seven weeks | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
since the Grenfell Tower fire, and on this programme we've spoken | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
to many of the tragedy's survivors. Our reporter Michael Cowan has been | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
catching up with Lillian, a survivor he met in the days | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
after the fire. The day after this terrible | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
tragedy, we met Lillian. She escaped the tenth floor with | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
nothing but the clothes on her back. So, what do you want | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
from the council in the coming days? I want assurance that they are | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
going to take care of us and they are going to make sure that | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
each person at least has Or, you know, organising for more | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
permanent accommodation. It hasn't really sunk in, | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
but I know that it will once everybody has gone, and you are just | :07:05. | :07:13. | |
in your room alone. Everything will come, | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
you know, and you are like, A lot of people today have | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
expressed some anger, At the situation, at the fact | :07:20. | :07:28. | |
that this could happen. Do you feel that, or | :07:29. | :07:40. | |
are you just focused I know the anger will come, I am sad | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
because lots of people died. So, I am asking questions | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
to myself as well. All these questions | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
I'm asking myself, The following week, we met | :07:56. | :08:09. | |
again outside her hotel. You said it's been very chaotic, | :08:10. | :08:27. | |
you were told to go to this place, then that place, | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
and there's no coordination. How difficult is that | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
on a day-to-day basis? It is very difficult, | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
first of all it's very hot We're not sitting down | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
and eating properly. We're just getting news | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
from charities or from people. "Oh, you need to do this," | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
or "You need to go there." But they're not really | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
telling us, the authorities The only thing we had was the letter | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
that they gave us to go to the post How do you feel now, six days on, | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
about your treatment from the authorities, | :09:05. | :09:12. | |
from the council? I would say that, because they | :09:13. | :09:13. | |
haven't got back to us up to today. It's the other volunteers now that | :09:14. | :09:22. | |
are getting help to us. The other councils that | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
are coming in to help. But, I don't know if we have | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
heard anything from them. When you're alone in that hotel | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
room, then everything starts coming into your head, | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
and then you start thinking That's the moment you need | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
somebody to talk to, Obviously, you mean | :09:38. | :09:48. | |
quite traumatic things? Lots and lots of lives | :09:49. | :10:01. | |
have been lost. Absolutely, it could | :10:02. | :10:12. | |
have been stopped. Are there are people | :10:13. | :10:21. | |
responsible for it? The plan was to keep meeting | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
with Lillian regularly to document her life in the wake | :10:26. | :10:34. | |
of the fire. But after this interview, | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
plagued by nightmares and deteriorating mental health, | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
she told us she could not We still spoke regularly and, | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
seven weeks on, Lillian has We first met you the | :10:44. | :10:51. | |
day after the fire. We then met you one | :10:52. | :11:01. | |
week after the fire. How far do you think you have | :11:02. | :11:03. | |
moved on from that now? I've gotten help | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
through counselling. One thing you've told me that has | :11:10. | :11:22. | |
been worrying you is the abuse that Grenfell survivors are getting, | :11:23. | :11:31. | |
from certain members of the public? What sort of abuse | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
are we talking about? Very nasty comments, | :11:34. | :11:41. | |
some of them I wouldn't even repeat. And it's people thinking | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
we are having a free ride. It's people thinking | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
we're taking advantage. It's people thinking, | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
"This person doesn't deserve to speak up," just | :12:00. | :12:15. | |
because you are from Grenfell. You said you have seen incredibly | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
racist comments made. When you've been through | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
what you've been through, how does it feel to see reactions | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
like that from the public? It's just scary because I feel | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
scared to tell anybody now that I'm from the tower, | :12:30. | :12:39. | |
because you don't know We didn't want to be | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
in the fire, we didn't burn No, it's just something | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
that happened. Nobody wants to live in a hotel | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
for a month or more. The nightmares, are they all focused | :12:53. | :13:04. | |
on the tower and that night? It is all about fire and running | :13:05. | :13:13. | |
for your life, and just hearing Knowing there are people | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
dead inside, or running Or, it could be me running | :13:18. | :13:19. | |
away from something, not necessarily fire, | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
but those are the dreams you get. It's always running | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
away from something. You've been staying in the hotel | :13:29. | :13:38. | |
for seven weeks, nearly two months. How much longer are you | :13:39. | :13:53. | |
expecting to be there? I think I'm there | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
until 1st September. So, as far as I know, | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
I am still there up to 1st September, so I don't | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
know where I am living. Have you come to terms | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
with the fact yet that And it's painful to remember some | :14:11. | :14:18. | |
of the things, sometimes. Because these are things I've | :14:19. | :14:35. | |
had for a long time. That particular picture, | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
my mum doesn't have it, my brothers don't have it, | :14:39. | :14:48. | |
my sisters don't have It was the only picture that | :14:49. | :14:50. | |
I had, and it's gone. How hurtful is it, when you've been | :14:51. | :15:01. | |
through what you've been through, and people are saying | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
vicious, racist things Erm, the only thing | :15:05. | :15:06. | |
that I can say is... I wouldn't wish it on anybody, | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
even my worst enemy. It could happen to you, | :15:10. | :15:11. | |
and you wouldn't know what to do. Just like we don't | :15:12. | :15:24. | |
know what to do now. And it could happen to you tomorrow, | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
and I would be the one holding... You know, lift you up, | :15:27. | :15:45. | |
out of your tragedy. A British computer expert | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
who stopped a worldwide cyber attack which crippled parts of the NHS has | :15:52. | :16:19. | |
been arrested by the FBI in the United States over alleged | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
links to other malicious software. Marcus Hutchins, who is 23 | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
and from Devon, is accused of creating malware | :16:26. | :16:27. | |
to steal bank details. He had been in Las Vegas attending | :16:28. | :16:29. | |
the Black Hat and Def Con The UK's National Cyber Security | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
Centre has said it was aware of the situation with fellow | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
cyber-security researchers expressing surprise | :16:42. | :16:43. | |
at the indictment. We can now speak to Robert | :16:44. | :16:52. | |
Schifreen, a former UK-based computer hacker and magazine editor, | :16:53. | :16:54. | |
and the founder of IT security awareness training programme | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
SecuritySmart.co.uk. And Naomi Colvin from | :16:58. | :16:58. | |
the Courage Foundation. The irony, being arrested at hacking | :16:59. | :17:24. | |
conference, what does this mean? He was arrested just as he was about to | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
board his flight home. It looks like they were taking advantage so the | :17:29. | :17:40. | |
United States didn't have to take extradition procedures. This was the | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
guy who saved the NHS a couple of months ago? Yes, it shut down | :17:46. | :17:53. | |
hospitals and affected one third of NHS trusts probably the first | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
malware attack to constitute a threat to life. Marcus Tudgay world | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
an incredible service in stopping it in its tracks when he did. He did | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
disproportionately benefit people before the United States because he | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
did it before the east coast woke up and turned their computers on. It | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
was based on a dangerous exploit which had been developed and used by | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
the National Security Agency, which they then lost control of and he is | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
cleaning up the NSA's mess. Very embarrassing for them and a cynic | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
might think this has something to do with his arrest in Vegas. Are you a | :18:32. | :18:41. | |
cynic? I agree it was done to avoid any extradition problems because we | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
have had cases in the past like Gary McKinnon, when there were political | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
debates over here and in the US as to whether he should have been | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
extradited to face hacking charges in America. When you have 15,000 | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
hackers and security experts, researchers and so on in the US, if | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
they want to arrest somebody, they can catch them there. If they do it | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
just before he is about to leave, everyone else has gone, the media | :19:07. | :19:15. | |
has gone and they can grab him. It does sound strange to allege he has | :19:16. | :19:17. | |
been creating malware, creating banking Trojans... I will stop you | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
for one second, for people who don't know what malware is, banking | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
Trojans, explain what they are. Malware is bad software, anything | :19:28. | :19:29. | |
that gets onto your computer typically because you will receive | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
an e-mail attachment that appears to come from a friend or someone you | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
know and it says, click here to open this attachment, see some photos or | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
download some photos or videos, but it installs programmes on your | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
computer that start to do things in the background without your | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
knowledge. What this banking Trojan allegedly did, which he is the | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
alleged to have written, is, it installed programmes on your | :19:57. | :19:58. | |
computer so when you log into your online bank it notices you have done | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
that and it grabs the passwords you type and sends them down the | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
Internet to the hacker so they now have your online banking details, | :20:08. | :20:09. | |
your username and passwords. You don't know they have got it and they | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
can log into your online bank and steal your money. These things are | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
really dangerous. There is also a very fine line, a lot of hackers out | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
there, a lot of people who call themselves and indeed are, security | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
researchers. It can be a very fine line. If you are a security | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
researcher and you want to know what the hackers are doing and thinking, | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
what techniques they are using, you might hang out in the online hacking | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
forums, you might even pretend to be a hacker. He might even add met to | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
having written certain hacking programmes, even if you didn't, just | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
to gain the trust of other hackers and cyber criminals. It is a very | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
murky world, lets hope they have some evidence to prove whether he | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
did or didn't because it will come to court, probably. There may be a | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
trial. But it is early to speculate to say he did or didn't do it | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
because the whole world of IT security is very strange. He has | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
been accused of six accounts of hacking related crimes. Going back | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
to the NHS attack and that is only found out about this guy, can you | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
remind reminders of what happened and his involvement in stopping it? | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
The outbreak which hit the NHS, it hit lots of broadcast organisations | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
across the world, some very large companies, either because they were | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
directly affected all be shut down the system is fearing they might be. | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
It is run somewhere, the e-mail attachments you receive, you click | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
on the attachment because they think it is legitimate. But you have | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
started a programme running written by criminals that encrypt all your | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
files and they scramble your documents so you cannot use your | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
computer until you pay some money to get the password. That is what that | :21:55. | :22:02. | |
is. What the programmers of this did, they'd built in a Killswitch. | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
So if they ever wanted to remotely stop it from spreading, all they had | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
to do is create a website with a certain name. Because it check | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
whether the website existed. If it did, it stopped running. This | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
website clearly didn't exist, Marcus noticed in the code that is what it | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
was looking for. He went and created a website with that name which sends | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
all the millions of copies of this malware out there, noticed the | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
website existed and that was the instruction to stop spreading and so | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
therefore stopped spreading. Was this intentional or accidental | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
Marcus' part? We think it was a deliberate ploy by the writers to | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
build in this Killswitch. He wasn't 100% sure what it was going to do | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
but he noticed when he analysed the code, it was checking for this | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
nonexistent website, so he thought he would try to create a website | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
under the name it was checking for and it stop spreading. And it did | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
indeed, as has been said, solved a lot of problems and save people a | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
lot of time, including the US because they happens at that point, | :23:10. | :23:17. | |
woken up and started work, so he did a good service to a lot of people. | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
What's the difference between us in the UK look at Marcus and treat | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
them, in the way that the US does? There is a disparity in the way | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
computer can crimes are dealt with. It is too early to say whether the | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
star charges against Marcus Woolsack. Marcus will appear in | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
court in Las Vegas today. He will enter a plea, he will have to go to | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
Wisconsin where the charges have been filed, to be arraigned. Because | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
he is from the UK, he may not be granted bail. If he was in the UK, | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
he would be granted bail. That is bad news, not only US prisons | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
unpleasant, he will not have access to a computer, he will not have | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
access to the digital evidence which would help him participate in his | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
own defence. The jail time cover potential jail time between the UK | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
and the US, there is no comparison. If convicted on this indictment, | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
Marcus faces decades in jail. Would you like to comment on that as well, | :24:18. | :24:25. | |
Robert? I agree, there is a difference in some cases. What he is | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
alleged to have done, created and sold this banking malware and made a | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
couple of thousand dollars out of it. To be facing 40 years in jail | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
and such a hope Rai file case of earning a couple of thousand dollars | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
is very strange. It is not unprecedented. In the 80s, when I | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
was hacking and I was charged with hacking, but I was acquitted because | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
there was no law against it at that time, I was alleged to have been | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
hacking and deprive people out of ?11 worth of computer time. It led | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
to a multi-million pound court case, it cost a lot of people a lot of | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
time and it involved ten judges, the House of Lords and so on. But all I | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
allegedly did was defraud people out of ?11 worth of computer time they | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
would have otherwise paid for. We do tend to overreact and perhaps it is | :25:16. | :25:22. | |
another example the law enforcement community and the judicially don't | :25:23. | :25:24. | |
understand how to deal with computer crime and online crime. And in such | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
an online world, they really need to. Thank you very much indeed. | :25:29. | :25:40. | |
No child deserves to be bullied, but many are. All the children | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
interviewed were victims of bullying and they give children advice on how | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
to deal with it. When I was on the bus, they would | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
take my shoes and put them in the bin, then slapped me across the face | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
things and I had marks on my face. I was alone and scary and I did know | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
what do or who to turn to. Your life becomes surrounded and engulfed by | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
the bullying. He don't know anything but that bullying and that torment. | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
And the feelings it brings about. You wake up in the morning and you | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
think, there is a point, I don't have the energy to go in and face | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
that. I walk with a limp and that was a perfect opportunity for people | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
to Bollini. One particular name just kept going round and it struck the | :26:26. | :26:32. | |
three years. Where you a victim of bullying? You lose control of it. | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
The important thing is to give the control back. Speak out, there are | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
social network platforms you can speak to. There is Childline. I | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
found writing how I felt, often I would fill out a whole page. Each | :26:48. | :26:54. | |
one represented to me represented something. The small one is one | :26:55. | :27:01. | |
small things happen, the big one is when big things happen. I've had | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
tickets to go and see wicked in London. Anybody who has seen it is a | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
hard-hitting musical, someone who has been tormented because of the | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
way she looks. That inspired me to go and say something to a teacher | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
and speak to my parents about it and say, this is happening, I am not | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
comfortable with what is happening at the moment. Can you please help | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
me? Express how you feel, because I found showing my drawings, the | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
teachers were trying to help me. Because they could see how much it | :27:34. | :27:40. | |
was upsetting me. When you start off-loading what has happened, it is | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
unbelievable how relaxing it can be knowing somebody else knows what has | :27:45. | :27:48. | |
happened. Every single day our try and write a positive message, it | :27:49. | :27:56. | |
would help me focus on the positives. Don't change because | :27:57. | :28:00. | |
somebody wants you to, focus on who you are, don't let anybody bring you | :28:01. | :28:01. | |
down. President Trump remains | :28:02. | :28:12. | |
defiant that he did nothing wrong over Russia, | :28:13. | :28:15. | |

on what the Grenfell Tower fire inquiry should cover expires | :28:23. | :28:25. | |
at 5pm this afternoon. Hundreds of suggestions have | :28:26. | :28:27. | |
already been received. The head of the Inquiry, | :28:28. | :28:29. | |
Sir Martin Moore-Bick, promised to consider a broad range | :28:30. | :28:31. | |
of evidence when he launched a public consultation into the terms | :28:32. | :28:33. | |
of reference in July. In the US, the investigation | :28:34. | :28:36. | |
into Russian attempts to interfere in last year's Presidential election | :28:37. | :28:38. | |
is gathering pace. It's emerged that special counsel | :28:39. | :28:40. | |
Robert Mueller has convened a Grand Jury in Washington, | :28:41. | :28:42. | |

months to the end of June, compared with a loss of ?2 billion | :29:36. | :29:39. | |
in the same period last year. That's a summary of the latest | :29:40. | :29:48. | |
news, join me for BBC Jessica is at the Olympic Park in | :29:49. | :30:09. | |
London. You are there for the World Championships? Welcome back to the | :30:10. | :30:12. | |
London stage where the best athletes will descend on the stadium tonight | :30:13. | :30:15. | |
for the world athletics Championships. There were so many | :30:16. | :30:21. | |
happy memories back in the stadium for the London Olympics five years | :30:22. | :30:25. | |
ago. It is five years to the day since Super Saturday when it seemed | :30:26. | :30:28. | |
to be reigning gold medals for Team GB in the stadium behind me. For the | :30:29. | :30:32. | |
fans lucky enough to have a ticket for tonight, they are in for a | :30:33. | :30:36. | |
treat, as you say, they get dizzy two legends in the sport competing. | :30:37. | :30:41. | |
First up will be Usain Bolt, the Jamaican sprinter has long lit up | :30:42. | :30:45. | |
tracks around the world for well over a decade now. He goes in the | :30:46. | :30:49. | |
opening rounds in the opening heats of the 100 me to is. And this will | :30:50. | :30:54. | |
be his final major championship appearance before he hangs up his | :30:55. | :30:59. | |
spikes. He has said he is retiring at the end of the season. What a | :31:00. | :31:04. | |
shame that will be, you have to ask yourself how much would a sport of | :31:05. | :31:07. | |
athletics Ms a special character. Also on the track, Sir Mo Farah will | :31:08. | :31:14. | |
be in action and he goes in the 10,000 metre final. It was on this | :31:15. | :31:19. | |
track five years ago that Mo Farah won his first Olympic titles and | :31:20. | :31:23. | |
really shot himself into superstardom. Winning those double | :31:24. | :31:27. | |
gold medals in the 5000 and the 10,000 metres. It will be a fitting | :31:28. | :31:33. | |
end to his track career if he could replicate that success again. | :31:34. | :31:38. | |
As much a set of excitement and anticipation for this event, there | :31:39. | :31:45. | |
is also a cloud hanging over the sport of athletics at the moment in | :31:46. | :31:50. | |
regards to doping, and the head of British athletics, Ed Warner, has | :31:51. | :31:52. | |
been speaking about that this morning. | :31:53. | :32:00. | |
In any walk of life, you find cheats around every corner. | :32:01. | :32:03. | |
But are the authorities working really hard to root them out? | :32:04. | :32:08. | |
Only yesterday, two Ukrainian sprinters were banned provisionally, | :32:09. | :32:11. | |
I think that's a good thing because if you were getting no | :32:12. | :32:16. | |
failed tests right now, I would say the testers weren't | :32:17. | :32:19. | |
working hard enough and the sport has a fight on its hands. | :32:20. | :32:21. | |
I think it's gradually winning that battle, | :32:22. | :32:23. | |
but it's going to be a long-term process. | :32:24. | :32:25. | |
And disappointment for England's women footballers last night? Yes, I | :32:26. | :32:33. | |
watched the match and they seemed to be lacking confidence, they showed | :32:34. | :32:35. | |
so much flair against Scotland in the opening match, they showed great | :32:36. | :32:39. | |
defence against Spain in the second batch, then they beat France, who | :32:40. | :32:44. | |
they had never beaten competitively before, and then Germany went out, | :32:45. | :32:48. | |
the reigning European champions and you just thought, this is England's | :32:49. | :32:53. | |
time. But they came unstuck against the Netherlands, it seemed like they | :32:54. | :32:57. | |
just ran out of gas, unfortunately. Despite being the highest ranked | :32:58. | :33:06. | |
team left in the competition, the lionesses were beaten 3-0 and it | :33:07. | :33:08. | |
means now that the Dutch march on and they will face Denmark in the | :33:09. | :33:12. | |
final. Some of the football to bring you, Brazil forward Neymar has | :33:13. | :33:15. | |
signed for Paris St Germain for a world record fee of around ?200 | :33:16. | :33:22. | |
million. It smashes a previous deal set by Paul Pogba's transfer when he | :33:23. | :33:26. | |
returned to Manchester United last year and it is thought Neymar will | :33:27. | :33:30. | |
earn over ?40 million per year as part of a five-year deal. | :33:31. | :33:37. | |
Some cricket news, in around half an hour England's cricketers start the | :33:38. | :33:41. | |
fourth and final test against South Africa at Old Trafford. James | :33:42. | :33:44. | |
Anderson will receive the honour of having a pavilion named after him, a | :33:45. | :33:50. | |
case of James Anderson opening the bowling from the James Anderson end! | :33:51. | :33:54. | |
That will be interesting to see! It certainly will! Thank you, Jess. | :33:55. | :33:56. | |
The investigation into claims of Russian meddling in the US | :33:57. | :33:59. | |
Now a grand jury has been set up - the first step towards | :34:00. | :34:03. | |
In the US, grand juries are made up of members of the public | :34:04. | :34:07. | |
who consider whether the evidence is strong enough to take | :34:08. | :34:10. | |
President Trump has rubbished allegations of collusion. | :34:11. | :34:22. | |
The reason why Democrats only talk about the totally made up Russia | :34:23. | :34:28. | |
story is because they have no message, no agenda, and no vision. | :34:29. | :34:33. | |
The Russia story is a total fabrication. | :34:34. | :34:35. | |
It's just an excuse for the greatest loss in the history of American | :34:36. | :34:42. | |
It just makes them feel better when they have nothing | :34:43. | :34:52. | |
Most people know there were no Russians in our campaign, there | :34:53. | :35:02. | |
never were. We didn't win because of Russia | :35:03. | :35:04. | |
we won because of you. It's one more piece of bad news | :35:05. | :35:07. | |
for the President in what's been another tumultuous week | :35:08. | :35:24. | |
in Washington where we've seen yet Let's remind ourselves of | :35:25. | :35:26. | |
the characters new - and departed. A week ago today Trump | :35:27. | :35:30. | |
announced on Twitter that he was appointing | :35:31. | :35:32. | |
General John Kelly as the White House chief of staff, | :35:33. | :35:34. | |
adding yet another military man This makes him the highest-ranking | :35:35. | :35:37. | |
employee at the White House. General Kelly replaces | :35:38. | :35:40. | |
Reince Priebus, who enjoyed just six months in the post | :35:41. | :35:42. | |
before being sacked. And with Kelly in - | :35:43. | :35:44. | |
this man was out. Anthony Scaramucci - | :35:45. | :35:48. | |
Trump's new director of communications - | :35:49. | :35:51. | |
and a bit of a loose cannon. He was sacked after just | :35:52. | :36:07. | |
10 days in the job. Then on Wednesday, Trump was forced | :36:08. | :36:11. | |
to sign a bill imposing fresh It included new powers for Congress | :36:12. | :36:14. | |
to block any move by Trump to remove He called the bill 'deeply | :36:15. | :36:19. | |
flawed' - but it passed And this leaves us with | :36:20. | :36:22. | |
the Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who has been publicly mocked | :36:23. | :36:26. | |
and disparaged by Trump. He's had a call from General Kelly | :36:27. | :36:28. | |
to say that his job is safe. We can speak now to Lance Price, | :36:29. | :36:31. | |
a writer and commentator and former Labour director of communications | :36:32. | :36:34. | |
under Tony Blair. Leslie Vinjamuri is from the US, | :36:35. | :36:36. | |
and is a political a former speech writer | :36:37. | :36:38. | |
for Republican president Lamps, I will start with you, as a | :36:39. | :36:47. | |
former director of communications, how would you deal with somebody | :36:48. | :36:51. | |
like Donald Trump? The problem with Donald Trump is, in essence, he is | :36:52. | :36:55. | |
his own director of communications and communicate in a way which is | :36:56. | :37:01. | |
entirely his own, completely unprecedented, and is impossible, it | :37:02. | :37:05. | |
seems, to discipline. People have tried. The job of his communications | :37:06. | :37:09. | |
staff seems to be, most of the time, to explain what he meant with his | :37:10. | :37:11. | |
tweets, often in the middle of night, which generate news | :37:12. | :37:29. | |
as soon as they are broadcast. I think General Kelly, just appointed | :37:30. | :37:31. | |
as chief of staff, clearly a disciplinarian, who wants to try to | :37:32. | :37:33. | |
impose discipline on the White House and its staff, has an enormous task | :37:34. | :37:36. | |
on his hands because frankly the least disciplined member of the team | :37:37. | :37:39. | |
appears to be the president. We have said before he seems to be running | :37:40. | :37:41. | |
his presidency on Twitter, is there anything you can do to stop that? | :37:42. | :37:44. | |
You take his phone away! But he would find another way of doing it, | :37:45. | :37:47. | |
this man is determined to do it his own way and, to put it politely, | :37:48. | :37:51. | |
that is a pretty unusual way of going about governing the United | :37:52. | :37:54. | |
States of America, the most powerful nation in the world. He will find | :37:55. | :37:59. | |
their way to communicate, but he believes, clearly, you saw that with | :38:00. | :38:02. | |
the crowd he was addressing there in West Virginia, | :38:03. | :38:14. | |
that his supporters are behind him and it does not matter what the | :38:15. | :38:17. | |
media establishment, political establishment in DC say about him, | :38:18. | :38:20. | |
he is right, his gut instinct are the ones to follow, and he will not | :38:21. | :38:23. | |
be deflected from it. We will have to see whether or not the American | :38:24. | :38:25. | |
people are willing to go along with that for very much longer. How do | :38:26. | :38:28. | |
you think, Leslie, Donald Trump will deal with the intensification of the | :38:29. | :38:30. | |
inquiry into claims of collusion between Russia and the Tramp | :38:31. | :38:34. | |
campaign, and what does the grandeur in mean? I think the grand jewellery | :38:35. | :38:39. | |
is a very clear signal that the investigations are being taken very | :38:40. | :38:42. | |
seriously by the special Counsel and that they are ratcheting it up, and | :38:43. | :38:47. | |
there was a cent at one point that maybe this person was under threat | :38:48. | :38:53. | |
of being let go by the president, but remember that President Trump | :38:54. | :38:57. | |
right now is under fire from all sorts of dimensions, he is under | :38:58. | :39:02. | |
attack within the White House, not succeeding with Congress at all, the | :39:03. | :39:07. | |
Affordable Care Act revision that he wanted did not pass, so he is now | :39:08. | :39:12. | |
moving on to immigration, and he is trying to rule not only through | :39:13. | :39:15. | |
Twitter, which is very important, but trying to legislate or pass | :39:16. | :39:19. | |
directives through executive orders. He basically says to the executive | :39:20. | :39:23. | |
branch, this is what you need to do, and he is doing this at a very high | :39:24. | :39:27. | |
rate compared to past presidents, which is a sign he is struggling to | :39:28. | :39:32. | |
work with Congress to pass any of his key legislative items, so he is | :39:33. | :39:35. | |
in a very difficult position and we have seen over the last week he is | :39:36. | :39:37. | |
really trying to hold on to that base, | :39:38. | :39:53. | |
going hard on immigration. One of the puzzles here is that if you look | :39:54. | :39:56. | |
at his attacks on his Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, it is | :39:57. | :39:58. | |
puzzling. Sessions was the first person confined, the first person | :39:59. | :40:00. | |
that supported Donald Trump. He pursues Donald Trump's line, he is | :40:01. | :40:02. | |
tough on crime and immigration, all the things Donald Trump wants, and | :40:03. | :40:04. | |
yet because Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation, | :40:05. | :40:07. | |
Donald Trump has taken a hard line on him so I think Donald Trump is | :40:08. | :40:09. | |
clearly very under attack and the worst thing now is the Russia | :40:10. | :40:13. | |
investigations are going forward, the grand jury is a very big signal | :40:14. | :40:17. | |
so this is not something he will handle very well. Atop top summer | :40:18. | :40:20. | |
for the president. Tell us more about the grand jury. The grand jury | :40:21. | :40:28. | |
gives power to the special counsel to subpoena documents, require | :40:29. | :40:30. | |
witnesses to turn up and testify under oath. Remember there has been | :40:31. | :40:34. | |
a lot of discussion amongst those individuals that have gone before | :40:35. | :40:38. | |
Congress about whether those hearings will be open and closed, | :40:39. | :40:43. | |
whether they will be under oath or not, the special counsel has a | :40:44. | :40:47. | |
different level of authority and by empowering grand jury he has even | :40:48. | :40:50. | |
more, so it is a very, very controversial step, it won't be well | :40:51. | :40:55. | |
received by the White House, and it signals to the public and to | :40:56. | :41:00. | |
Washington that these investigations are tremendously serious and could | :41:01. | :41:03. | |
result in indictments. Does this mean criminal charges will be filed? | :41:04. | :41:08. | |
It means there is a possibility, it is absolutely something that is | :41:09. | :41:12. | |
possible, by no means that it will happen. Let's bring in Clerk. What | :41:13. | :41:18. | |
is your reaction to the latest developments? First of all I would | :41:19. | :41:22. | |
say the executive orders are simply a response to his predecessor's | :41:23. | :41:28. | |
excessive use of executive orders, basically he is under Windows. The | :41:29. | :41:35. | |
grand jury, the morning reports have it so far that they are focused on | :41:36. | :41:39. | |
briefly former national-security adviser Flynn, but as your prior | :41:40. | :41:46. | |
guest said we don't know yet what it means. It does mean that Robert | :41:47. | :41:52. | |
Mueller is following this investigation aggressively, we knew | :41:53. | :41:56. | |
that already. While this is a headline, I'm not sure much of it is | :41:57. | :42:03. | |
new, and so we don't really know. We know the president did have a | :42:04. | :42:08. | |
chaotic White House, had become more chaotic, and that he moved to fix | :42:09. | :42:13. | |
it, that is why he bought in General Kelly. It seems General Kelly has | :42:14. | :42:19. | |
moved rapidly and effectively to do that. Several people are out, as you | :42:20. | :42:26. | |
catalogued, and the White House is starting very quickly to seem | :42:27. | :42:30. | |
disciplined, focused, something that it had not before. You think it is a | :42:31. | :42:36. | |
smart move? Oh, yes, I think it was overdue, but it takes a while, there | :42:37. | :42:40. | |
is a story of Abraham Lincoln, he was one of the, one of the senators | :42:41. | :42:47. | |
was complaining about how bad the head of the army was at that time, | :42:48. | :42:53. | |
sort of similar to this, he was not affected, things were not moving, | :42:54. | :42:58. | |
and Lincoln said, well, who do you want me to replace him with? The guy | :42:59. | :43:04. | |
said, the senator said, I don't care, just anybody. Lincoln said, I | :43:05. | :43:07. | |
cannot just replace him with anybody, I have to have a name. So | :43:08. | :43:12. | |
it took a while, as with Lincoln, for Donald Trump to find a name, and | :43:13. | :43:19. | |
now he has, he seems to have, General Kelly seems to have moved | :43:20. | :43:23. | |
quickly and efficiently. How has the Republican party responded to what | :43:24. | :43:26. | |
has been, for all of us watching all over the world, an extraordinary few | :43:27. | :43:31. | |
weeks, the hiring, firing, bad-mouthing happening against the | :43:32. | :43:34. | |
backdrop of Russia retaliating against sanctions, North Korean | :43:35. | :43:39. | |
missile launch. What next? The world is in a bit of chaos now, right, and | :43:40. | :43:44. | |
that is not just new, it has been developing for a long time, even | :43:45. | :43:49. | |
Russia's attempts at intruding in the 2016 election were ineffective, | :43:50. | :43:53. | |
if anything they have backfired badly on the Russians, they now have | :43:54. | :44:00. | |
sanctions, the president wanted to have some kind of strategic opening, | :44:01. | :44:05. | |
much as President Obama had at the beginning of his term and President | :44:06. | :44:11. | |
Bush at the beginning of his, that is now in shambles and would be | :44:12. | :44:15. | |
pursued, so it has been a bad week, a few months, for the Russians. But | :44:16. | :44:25. | |
this is, the president has moved to fix his problems and get his | :44:26. | :44:28. | |
administration on track and I think that has been affected. | :44:29. | :44:33. | |
Lance, do you think General Kelly will be able to fix Donald Trump's | :44:34. | :44:38. | |
problems? One of the things he has to do is secure the loyalty of the | :44:39. | :44:41. | |
rest of the White House staff because Donald Trump's biggest | :44:42. | :44:45. | |
vulnerability is people in the White House thinking, this guy could fire | :44:46. | :44:49. | |
me tomorrow, and they are right to think so based on the track record | :44:50. | :44:53. | |
of the last few weeks and months! If you look back to the only president | :44:54. | :44:56. | |
who was ever forced out of office, President Nixon, their own people | :44:57. | :45:02. | |
looking after their own skin when there was a grand jury decided to do | :45:03. | :45:06. | |
deals and reveal what they knew, and he came unstuck. We have already | :45:07. | :45:09. | |
seen this is the Lee Kee is the White House in living memory, Donald | :45:10. | :45:13. | |
Trump constantly being embarrassed by the leaks, for examples, | :45:14. | :45:18. | |
telephone calls with the Australian Prime Minister and Mexican | :45:19. | :45:21. | |
President. If General Kelly cannot disciplined staff so they feel a | :45:22. | :45:24. | |
sense of loyalty to the whole operation, including | :45:25. | :45:38. | |
Donald Trump has got to demonstrate he can push through his legislative | :45:39. | :45:46. | |
agenda. He wanted to repeal a bummer care and that hasn't worked. His | :45:47. | :45:51. | |
next item is immigration but also tax reform is essential. So far we | :45:52. | :45:57. | |
haven't seen a plan, we haven't seen any details. This is difficult for | :45:58. | :46:01. | |
Congress because the requirement it is neutral in terms of cost, so the | :46:02. | :46:07. | |
devil is in the details. There is no plan, so it is crucial for securing | :46:08. | :46:08. | |
his support. His investment in infrastructure and | :46:09. | :46:29. | |
jobs, there is no plan for this. He planned and infrastructure plan by | :46:30. | :46:35. | |
signing an executive order. But there is dysfunction in the White | :46:36. | :46:42. | |
House and working with the rest of his executive branch, appointing, | :46:43. | :46:45. | |
there are over 400 people at high levels across the government that | :46:46. | :46:49. | |
have not been appointed, the president has two named these | :46:50. | :46:53. | |
individuals and get them through the Senate confirmation process. The | :46:54. | :46:55. | |
level of functioning government, there is so much that still has to | :46:56. | :47:01. | |
be done, legislated Lee and this is in the context of the Russian | :47:02. | :47:05. | |
investigations and very difficult, very low approval ratings, so it is | :47:06. | :47:12. | |
not going to be easy. Just a quick question, is it a problem that | :47:13. | :47:15. | |
from's family are so close to his presidency? He trusts them and | :47:16. | :47:21. | |
presidents go with those they trust. Let me say something about his | :47:22. | :47:26. | |
approval rating. This is an unusual presidency, to say the least. Donald | :47:27. | :47:31. | |
Trump's approval ratings as a person have never been particularly high, | :47:32. | :47:35. | |
in contrast to most presidents. Even when he was elected will stop this | :47:36. | :47:40. | |
is not that much of a deviation from those. What does win him, what won | :47:41. | :47:50. | |
him the presidency, is his agenda. A great deal hovers agenda can be done | :47:51. | :47:54. | |
through the executive order and that has been pursued. We will have to | :47:55. | :48:02. | |
see, but my guess is, his supporters are not put off by all that has | :48:03. | :48:07. | |
happened in Washington. Whether they have been galvanised by it. The | :48:08. | :48:10. | |
constant drumbeat of opposition from the media and the resistance, as | :48:11. | :48:20. | |
they call it, of the Democrats in Congress. All this has solidified | :48:21. | :48:28. | |
his base and his voters. What we have seen, at the same time is, | :48:29. | :48:35. | |
economic confidence has moved to new highs, along with the markets. I | :48:36. | :48:41. | |
would not say the traditional measures of presidential strength | :48:42. | :48:44. | |
with the voting public apply in this case. The Democrats will be hard | :48:45. | :48:52. | |
pressed to believe that and it won't be tested until the 2018 elections. | :48:53. | :49:01. | |
But the Trump presidency is not in the kind of danger the numbers would | :49:02. | :49:08. | |
suggest. Very quickly, is the White House really a dump, as journalists | :49:09. | :49:12. | |
have reported Donald Trump as saying? E-readers physically a dump? | :49:13. | :49:15. | |
It is a very nice place. As we've been hearing, | :49:16. | :49:19. | |
today is the last chance for residents of the Grenfell Tower | :49:20. | :49:22. | |
to have their say on the inquiry into the fire that | :49:23. | :49:25. | |
changed their lives. The public consultation | :49:26. | :49:26. | |
into what the Inquiry should look into closes this evening It'll then | :49:27. | :49:28. | |
be up to the Prime Minister There's already been so much anger | :49:29. | :49:31. | |
and distrust about the inquiry. Earlier I spoke to Christos | :49:32. | :49:35. | |
Fairbairn who was on the 15th floor of Grenfell where he'd lived | :49:36. | :49:38. | |
for two years. Eve Allison who is a | :49:39. | :49:40. | |
Conservative councillor on Kensington and Chelsea council | :49:41. | :49:47. | |
and Louise Christian, the solicitor who represented | :49:48. | :49:49. | |
all of the bereaved families I started by asking Christos | :49:50. | :49:51. | |
what he hoped would come I just want everyone who has lost, | :49:52. | :49:55. | |
a lot of people who has lost family, I want them to have justice, | :49:56. | :50:06. | |
lawful action happened, I don't want this to continue | :50:07. | :50:08. | |
and another situation of Grenfell Tower happen again | :50:09. | :50:26. | |
because it seems like it will be because there's still cladding | :50:27. | :50:30. | |
in places all over England. If you could not repeat this again | :50:31. | :50:33. | |
and do something about it, that will just, you know, | :50:34. | :50:43. | |
there's a lot of people out there who is mentally | :50:44. | :50:46. | |
unstable to the fact that, We have cladding here and there | :50:47. | :50:48. | |
is a lot of people unhappy Because as you can see | :50:49. | :50:53. | |
in Grenfell Tower, within seconds, within 15 minutes, it was a ritual, | :50:54. | :50:59. | |
it was on fire. There is a huge problem with trust | :51:00. | :51:05. | |
now when it comes to Kensington and Chelsea Council, | :51:06. | :51:08. | |
how come people trust I would just like to say, | :51:09. | :51:10. | |
I actually run about three wards. I run from Norland, | :51:11. | :51:20. | |
Nottingham Barnes and St Helens I see and talk to the average person | :51:21. | :51:22. | |
that the rest of my colleagues When you see posters up that say, | :51:23. | :51:29. | |
corporate massacre RBKC is guilty of corporate massacre | :51:30. | :51:38. | |
and that the people deserve and want justice, then you have two, | :51:39. | :51:47. | |
you know, have some sort of feeling and some sort of depth to understand | :51:48. | :51:50. | |
why should someone want to paint that up and I go about and I speak | :51:51. | :51:57. | |
to people that man gazebos later at night, near the Grenfell Tower, | :51:58. | :52:01. | |
full of information, These are the kind of people | :52:02. | :52:03. | |
that this enquiry, public It's to reach the people | :52:04. | :52:09. | |
that don't have a voice, the people that can't come | :52:10. | :52:15. | |
on your lovely TV set and dress It is to the lady who comes | :52:16. | :52:18. | |
from Windsor, who served me tea other day at the assistance centre | :52:19. | :52:32. | |
that's now in Baard Road. It's to the orthodox Muslim, | :52:33. | :52:36. | |
an Eritrean lady that I was talking to who is traumatised herself, | :52:37. | :52:43. | |
but yet she has to get up each and every day and go and help | :52:44. | :52:46. | |
traumatised families. It is to all the silent Muslim | :52:47. | :52:48. | |
women who can't come forward for their cultural | :52:49. | :52:51. | |
and societal reasons. They could tell me they can't come | :52:52. | :52:53. | |
on your set and tell you why. People need answers and whether that | :52:54. | :52:57. | |
means Kensington and Chelsea falls on our own sword, | :52:58. | :52:59. | |
well so be it. Because we need to be open, | :53:00. | :53:03. | |
we need to be transparent and we need to be honest and that's | :53:04. | :53:06. | |
the only way we are Yes, we are making great strides now | :53:07. | :53:09. | |
in our packages of care with what we are offering | :53:10. | :53:19. | |
to residents, but ordinarily, when I hear stories of people | :53:20. | :53:23. | |
who have been in hotels for so long, cramped with their kids, | :53:24. | :53:26. | |
their children, they need to be put into permanent housing | :53:27. | :53:28. | |
as soon as possible. You can only live with | :53:29. | :53:32. | |
a suitcase for so long. Do you think the enquiry can be | :53:33. | :53:34. | |
trusted to get to the truth? The issue is this, we have reached | :53:35. | :53:43. | |
this point now and we have got to have some degree of trust | :53:44. | :53:47. | |
in the judge and go from there. Because this is a democracy, | :53:48. | :53:52. | |
it is not about he who shouts the loudest, so we have to give some | :53:53. | :53:56. | |
sort of respect to that But there is a lot of people | :53:57. | :53:59. | |
who feel that, you know, they are not going to | :54:00. | :54:06. | |
get proper justice. It doesn't matter what Kensington | :54:07. | :54:10. | |
and Chelsea does, because the trust Grenfell should not have | :54:11. | :54:13. | |
happened, but it did. There was some criticism | :54:14. | :54:17. | |
of the enquiry judge, Sir Martin Moore-Bick | :54:18. | :54:20. | |
when he was appointed, What is your view of his appointment | :54:21. | :54:22. | |
and do you think, if he doesn't have the respect of the survivors | :54:23. | :54:29. | |
and the families, the residents, I think he's a very experienced | :54:30. | :54:32. | |
senior judge and I would trust him to carry out the role that | :54:33. | :54:37. | |
he's been given. However, I do think that maybe | :54:38. | :54:41. | |
the enquiry should consider appointing a couple of other experts | :54:42. | :54:45. | |
who would reflect the diversity They should be independent people, | :54:46. | :54:47. | |
not from the community. But that was done in the Lawrence | :54:48. | :54:55. | |
enquiry and was very effective. In my response to the consultation, | :54:56. | :55:02. | |
I have recommended that to the enquiry as a possible way | :55:03. | :55:06. | |
forward. Do you want to respond, | :55:07. | :55:10. | |
I could see you were nodding? You need someone who was actually | :55:11. | :55:14. | |
there or part of it, at the end of the day, | :55:15. | :55:17. | |
or someone from the community to speak, someone who has been | :55:18. | :55:20. | |
there before, because it has more Because people in an enquiry, | :55:21. | :55:23. | |
it is just business, it is just them doing a job | :55:24. | :55:29. | |
what they are doing. But if there is someone | :55:30. | :55:32. | |
from the community who was actually been there, done it or was actually | :55:33. | :55:41. | |
involved in it, it is more personal. And for me personally, | :55:42. | :55:45. | |
a lot of people died and a lot I just hope it does get sorted out | :55:46. | :55:48. | |
and it doesn't repeat itself and the people that suffered | :55:49. | :55:57. | |
and lost families, but they can get Because it is, for me personally, | :55:58. | :56:00. | |
I am still trying to cope There's other people | :56:01. | :56:05. | |
in there who has lost their family, their whole generation of families | :56:06. | :56:11. | |
and for me personally, I just hope that it doesn't repeat | :56:12. | :56:16. | |
itself and the people who's been affected by it does get help, | :56:17. | :56:19. | |
mentally, physically and can Christos Fairbairn there who lived | :56:20. | :56:21. | |
on the 15th floor of Grenfell Tower. The new Irish Prime Minister is | :56:22. | :56:41. | |
making his first official visit to Northern Ireland today. He's giving | :56:42. | :56:45. | |
a speech at the University of Belfast. He is talking about the | :56:46. | :56:49. | |
future of the UK and Ireland. The Republic of Ireland has changed to | :56:50. | :56:54. | |
the point that it is built on respect and equality for all | :56:55. | :56:57. | |
citizens, no matter what their beliefs or identity may be. It is a | :56:58. | :57:01. | |
country that is home to 800,000 people who weren't born in Ireland, | :57:02. | :57:07. | |
making up 17% of the population. It is the first country in the world to | :57:08. | :57:14. | |
vote by a national referendum to introduce marriage equality. We now | :57:15. | :57:18. | |
have a new self-confident as an island, not on the edge of Europe, | :57:19. | :57:22. | |
but at the centre of the world and at the heart of the European home we | :57:23. | :57:26. | |
helped to build. A founder member of the euro and the single market. We | :57:27. | :57:30. | |
have taken place finally among the nations of the world. The professor | :57:31. | :57:38. | |
of English has written the concept of freedom has been a recurring | :57:39. | :57:43. | |
melody in a National Symphony. By thing we have found south of the | :57:44. | :57:48. | |
border over the past few decades, the kind of freedom that some people | :57:49. | :57:51. | |
thought was impossible has been achieved through the international | :57:52. | :57:56. | |
symphony of membership of the European Union. So I passionately | :57:57. | :58:01. | |
believe that being European is an essential part of modern Irish | :58:02. | :58:05. | |
identity. It is an enhancement, not a dilution of who we are. And in my | :58:06. | :58:10. | |
opinion, it is a tragedy of the Brexit debate that appears that this | :58:11. | :58:14. | |
