:02:03. > :02:05.not "shut it down". Giving his delayed Mansion House
:02:06. > :02:08.speech in the City of London, Mr Hammond suggested the current
:02:09. > :02:10.border arrangements of the EU's customs union should be maintained
:02:11. > :02:16.for an "implementation period". The governor of the Bank
:02:17. > :02:18.of England, Mark Carney, said the time was not right
:02:19. > :02:21.for an interest rate rise as wage growth is falling and the impact
:02:22. > :02:24.of Brexit on the economy is unclear. Our economics correspondent
:02:25. > :02:37.Andrew Verity reports. The Chancellor's Brexit agenda was
:02:38. > :02:42.supposed to be delivered over a sumptuous banquet at city's Mansion
:02:43. > :02:46.house, but it was cancelled following the Grenfell Tower
:02:47. > :02:50.tragedy. Today he turned up at the same venue for a glass of water, no

:02:55. > :02:57.what Brexit should and shouldn't mean.
:02:58. > :03:03.When the British people voted last June they did not vote to become
:03:04. > :03:07.poorer, or less secure. They did vote to leave the EU, and we will
:03:08. > :03:13.leave the EU. But it must be done in a way that works for Britain. In a

:03:33. > :03:36.industry executives think a favourable divorce could take five
:03:37. > :03:42.years, not two. We need to be brutally honest. The chances of
:03:43. > :03:45.getting the bespoke cover has a deal we need is going to take a long
:03:46. > :03:49.time. And we don't have a long time with the clock ticking. What we need
:03:50. > :03:53.is a back-up plan. Ideally we want to remain in the single market,
:03:54. > :03:57.certainly in the customs union, for the duration until we get that new
:03:58. > :04:01.arrangement. The car industry needs to know if, during the transition,
:04:02. > :04:05.there will be tariffs to make cars more expensive and less competitive
:04:06. > :04:08.when they are exported to Europe. As long as they don't know it's hard to
:04:09. > :04:12.plan investment. And without investment the economy cannot grow
:04:13. > :04:15.as fast. There have been warnings that to heart breaks it could cause
:04:16. > :04:19.other economic problems. If fewer people are coming into the country
:04:20. > :04:22.that could mean fewer taxes rolling in so the Chancellor outspent his
:04:23. > :04:28.income more easily, the deficit on in other words, gets worse. On that
:04:29. > :04:34.view the risk is the heart the Brexit the higher the deficit. --
:04:35. > :04:38.too hard a Brexit could cause other economic problems. If it means fewer
:04:39. > :04:43.jobs, especially in the city, Philip Hammond has made it clear, but today
:04:44. > :04:50.Mark Carney warned that any transition, hard or soft, wouldn't
:04:51. > :04:54.be easy. Firms on either side of the channel may soon need to activate
:04:55. > :05:01.contingency plans. And before long, we will all begin to find out the
:05:02. > :05:07.extent to which Brexit is a gentle stroll along a smooth path towards a
:05:08. > :05:11.land of cake and consumption. The Bank of England said it believes a
:05:12. > :05:15.week wage growth is likely while the transition takes place. And, it
:05:16. > :05:17.says, there is little it can do with interest rates to prevent that.
:05:18. > :05:19.Andrew Verity, BBC News. Let's speak our Assistant Political
:05:20. > :05:27.Editor Norman Smith. How should we read this from
:05:28. > :05:31.political perspective? Is this a pushback against a May's Brexit?
:05:32. > :05:40.We did not get the Chancellor launching a great Remain revolt. But
:05:41. > :05:43.what we are seeing is that there is a public arm wrestling between what
:05:44. > :05:49.I would call the Brexit enthusiast and the sceptics. Today, at the
:05:50. > :05:52.start of the talks, David Davis said we were sticking by our pre-election
:05:53. > :05:58.plan for Brexit. Boris Johnson arrived this morning saying it is
:05:59. > :06:02.all going very well. Philip Hammond at the Mansion House striking a
:06:03. > :06:06.different note, saying people did not vote to become poorer, we've got
:06:07. > :06:10.to put the economy first, we've got to have a transitional arrangements
:06:11. > :06:14.a business does not face a cliff edge when we leave the European
:06:15. > :06:18.Union. Yes, people want to clamp down on migration, but they don't
:06:19. > :06:22.want to shut it down. And we have got to protect the city. Because if
:06:23. > :06:25.the city suffers the British economy suffers. The reason the likes of
:06:26. > :06:30.Philip Hammond now feel emboldened to speak out publicly in this way is
:06:31. > :06:35.in part because Mrs May is in the balls after the election, but also
:06:36. > :06:46.because business is beginning to flex X muscles. -- because Mrs May
:06:47. > :06:49.is enfeebled after the election. Car manufacturers are saying, just take
:06:50. > :06:54.it easy about leaving the single market. The trouble, though, with
:06:55. > :06:58.arm wrestling is that it can take some time to wear down your
:06:59. > :07:02.opponent. So it may be a while before we see who the winners and
:07:03. > :07:07.losers in this tussle in the Cabinet over Brexit. -- to see who are the
:07:08. > :07:11.winners and losers. Thanks very much.
:07:12. > :07:23.Police are continuing to question a suspect after a van mowed down
:07:24. > :07:29.worshippers at a mosque. Yesterday morning's attack, with others in
:07:30. > :07:30.recent months, have led to renewed calls to reverse cuts to police
:07:31. > :07:38.funding. The flowers and messages closer
:07:39. > :07:44.Finsbury Park mosque. They are words of defiance, of unity. Overnight, 24
:07:45. > :07:49.hours after the attack, worshippers returned to the mosque. The regular
:07:50. > :07:54.rhythm of prayer during Ramadan was unbroken, despite the violence of
:07:55. > :07:58.the night before. The attack he added to the unrelenting pressure on
:07:59. > :08:03.the police in London. The Met's commissioner was among those who
:08:04. > :08:08.visited yesterday and joined a vigil. Today she talked about the
:08:09. > :08:12.stretch on her force. We are not having fewer calls from the public
:08:13. > :08:15.for help. We are stretched. I'm talking with the Mayor and the
:08:16. > :08:21.government about the resources that we need, I believe, in the future.
:08:22. > :08:26.As well as the regular work in a busy capital city, the Met police
:08:27. > :08:31.has faced an intense few weeks. With the terror attacks, as well as the
:08:32. > :08:33.loss of PC Keith Palmer, the former commissioner now believes any
:08:34. > :08:40.government cutbacks planned for the Met have to be stopped. The cuts
:08:41. > :08:44.being considered, certainly for the Met, need a reconsideration. As far
:08:45. > :08:49.as I am understanding, they are to lose a further ?4 million on top of
:08:50. > :08:56.what we've lost over the last few years. That means the Met will be
:08:57. > :09:02.less in size since I left. Looking at what? The idea of continuously
:09:03. > :09:06.cutting the police service's Budget is seen as an absurdity at this
:09:07. > :09:09.stage. There is a calm here now after the distress of yesterday, but
:09:10. > :09:13.that doesn't take away from the fact that this is a community feeling
:09:14. > :09:19.unsettled and concerned. The police cordons have been moved. To look
:09:20. > :09:23.around Finsbury Park is back to normal. But yesterday's attack has
:09:24. > :09:28.deeply shocked the Muslim community here. They feel targeted,
:09:29. > :09:33.vulnerable, and uneasy. We feel like something needs to be done. More
:09:34. > :09:36.things need to be done. Islamophobia, unfortunately, is on
:09:37. > :09:39.the rise and so is hate crime, so we have to do something to stop this
:09:40. > :09:46.madness. The cycle of violence will lead us nowhere. This is a community

:10:49. > :10:51.could have possibly committed that horrific incident which happened in
:10:52. > :10:59.Finsbury Park in the early hours of yesterday morning. The van that was
:11:00. > :11:03.used, we understand, was hired in a village about 60 miles away to the

:12:26. > :12:29.that was done. The chief executive at the time, John Varney, becomes
:12:30. > :12:33.the first head of a bank to face criminal charges from the crisis. If
:12:34. > :12:38.the allegations were to be proved, my sense is this would result in a
:12:39. > :12:43.fine for Barclays Bank, rather than the loss of its banking licence. It
:12:44. > :12:49.would be a fine that a bank of this size could come to be handled. The
:12:50. > :12:54.individuals themselves, the fact of being charge itself must be a hammer
:12:55. > :12:58.blow. It relates to two bouts of fundraising in 2008 which raised ?12
:12:59. > :13:04.billion, mostly by selling new Barclay's Bank shares. It focused on
:13:05. > :13:07.more than ?330 million of advisory fees paid to Qataris. There were
:13:08. > :13:11.questions about the transparency of these payments, and a loan of over
:13:12. > :13:16.?2 billion made by Barclay's Bank to the state of Qatar, just after the
:13:17. > :13:19.shares were being bought. John Varley faces two charges of
:13:20. > :13:29.conspiracy to commit fraud through false representation between June
:13:30. > :13:35.and October of 2008. The head of banking at the time faces the same
:13:36. > :13:39.charge. The former boss of Barclays Wealth division faces one charge of
:13:40. > :13:43.conspiracy to commit fraud, as does Richard Bowes, another senior

:26:59. > :27:01.to learn that we are on course for the longest
:27:02. > :27:03.heatwave in 20 years, with tomorrow predicted to be
:27:04. > :27:07.the hottest June day since 1976. For some this may be good news,
:27:08. > :27:10.but for others there are warnings about the temperatures which have
:27:11. > :27:13.reached over 30 degrees Celsius. The Met Office has issued a health
:27:14. > :27:15.warning for those most vulnerable to ensure they keep
:27:16. > :27:40.hydrated and cool. Mid-afternoon. On what is an
:27:41. > :27:43.absolutely fabulous day, not just here in Brighton but across great
:27:44. > :27:47.swathes of the country and thousands of people who are lucky enough to be
:27:48. > :27:53.off work are enjoying it but you are right, it has come with that Met
:27:54. > :27:57.Office heat wave warning to be very careful. Put on lots of protection
:27:58. > :28:01.and also watch out especially for the young and the elderly.
:28:02. > :28:10.In Brighton is not just the temperature shooting up. The town's
:28:11. > :28:14.i360 Tower is the new beacon on the beach for this sun-drenched
:28:15. > :28:17.coastline. Can I ask you what you think the glorious weather? I'm
:28:18. > :28:22.loving it, it is hard to keep the baby cool though but it's very nice.
:28:23. > :28:28.You are wilting a bit? A little bit! It's a bit warm. Do you have a
:28:29. > :28:35.maximum temperature is Karen Baird? This is about my limit I think. Yes.
:28:36. > :28:38.No higher? I don't think so. They like the sun and sand so much heat
:28:39. > :28:42.in Brighton and they have got themselves an exhibition to
:28:43. > :28:45.celebrate it and no wonder. The Met is saying we have not had
:28:46. > :28:53.temperatures at this consistent level in June for 20 years. Britain
:28:54. > :28:57.is now officially on amber heatwave alert, the second-highest. Here in
:28:58. > :29:01.Berkshire temperatures are shimmering around 30 and in London
:29:02. > :29:05.it has gone higher. So what's going on? The reason it is so hot at the
:29:06. > :29:09.moment is because we have had some really warm air arriving on the Adam
:29:10. > :29:14.Dixon topic, it has been in place for a few days and has been getting
:29:15. > :29:17.warmer and woman -- at the Atlantic subtropics. NHS in when is warning
:29:18. > :29:22.high-risk groups like the elderly to stay out of the sun but some are
:29:23. > :29:26.more alike than that which is right here at Whipsnade zoo in Ted Bishop
:29:27. > :29:32.it is hoses and home-made lollies that are being lapped up -- in
:29:33. > :29:35.Bedfordshire. They can be fruit in moulds, we make a pizza out with
:29:36. > :29:40.which we can give to the Monkees, it can even be something a bit more
:29:41. > :29:44.disgusting as we have seen with the Tigers. But not everything is
:29:45. > :29:50.melting in this relentless energy sapping heat. What does this weather
:29:51. > :29:53.do to business? This weather obviously makes business a lot
:29:54. > :29:56.better, it has come early for us, especially with Father's Day and the
:29:57. > :30:01.bike ride weekend and we have a few more days and then it will come down
:30:02. > :30:06.so it brings some forward a bit. With the summer solstice just hours
:30:07. > :30:09.away, this is turning into a June to remember, a midmonth temperature
:30:10. > :30:14.spike that comes with a double message of enjoyed but be careful.
:30:15. > :30:21.And of course it is not just here in Britain that are enjoying or end
:30:22. > :30:26.during these temperatures, as we saw earlier, Portugal is enduring these
:30:27. > :30:30.temperatures with 40 plus degrees creating those forest fires and it
:30:31. > :30:34.is the same in France and Spain. Temperatures are maybe five or even
:30:35. > :30:39.10 degrees higher than here. The temperatures in Britain are expected
:30:40. > :30:42.in the southern parts to continue at or around the 30 mark for another
:30:43. > :30:47.few days and the warning yet again from the Met office, NHS England and
:30:48. > :30:49.others is pleased -- please enjoy it but be careful.
:30:50. > :31:00.The heatwave will finish with a flourish before cooler air on
:31:01. > :31:04.Thursday so another couple of days of its hot and sunny weather for
:31:05. > :31:09.much of England and Wales. These clear skies also brings high levels
:31:10. > :31:13.of UV so if you are out for any length of time consider using
:31:14. > :31:18.suncream. Hot in much of England and Wales but fresh air in Scotland and
:31:19. > :31:22.North East England so although from yesterday to today there is not a
:31:23. > :31:25.great deal of change with the temperatures in Southern counties,
:31:26. > :31:29.in the north-east it has got much cooler with temperatures dropping by
:31:30. > :31:34.about 10 Celsius. You will notice the change in the fresh air is
:31:35. > :31:38.behind this front and to the south of it is the hot air, much of East
:31:39. > :31:42.Anglia and across the South and West Midlands, southern counties of
:31:43. > :31:46.England and Wales, temperatures will climb into the low 30s in the
:31:47. > :31:50.hottest areas. An outside chance of a storm developing, maybe in the
:31:51. > :31:53.Mendips. But few and far between and most of us dry conditions.
:31:54. > :31:58.North-east England stays pretty cloudy and missed the doubles the
:31:59. > :32:01.cost, a cooler day, sunny skies in Northern Ireland and most of
:32:02. > :32:04.Scotland although the northern and western isles and the Northern
:32:05. > :32:08.Highlands stay quite cloudy this afternoon. A few storms moving in to
:32:09. > :32:13.Northern Ireland this evening, quite a bit of thunder and lightning the
:32:14. > :32:17.showers but not a huge amount of rain falling. What does come down
:32:18. > :32:21.could be in fairly big blobs. Another uncomfortable night for
:32:22. > :32:26.sleeping, the temperatures this evening at 10pm still up at 25
:32:27. > :32:30.degrees for some others so another uncomfortable night. For northern
:32:31. > :32:34.parts of the UK tomorrow, some thundery rain moving through, some
:32:35. > :32:37.of that heavy but for most of England and Wales much of the date
:32:38. > :32:42.will be dry with sunshine and if anything the temperatures will be
:32:43. > :32:47.even higher, 34 degrees. If we get to that it will be the hottest June
:32:48. > :32:50.date for over 40 years but the pressure conditions are in the
:32:51. > :32:54.north. Areas like Newcastle, temperatures going up a few degrees.
:32:55. > :32:59.All this heat and humidity building up will end in a bit of a bang on
:33:00. > :33:03.Wednesday night with thunderstorms breaking out widely. Some of them
:33:04. > :33:06.with torrential rain and gusty winds and maybe some hail and the storms
:33:07. > :33:17.will still be in eastern England to start Thursday before we get that
:33:18. > :33:20.fresh air moving in from the West. By Thursday, many areas will have
:33:21. > :33:22.that fresh air with as with temperatures in the high teens but
:33:23. > :33:25.still quite one in East Anglia and the south-east of England. On Friday
:33:26. > :33:27.and the weekend, quite a bit of cloud, some sunny spells, Debord is
:33:28. > :33:31.mostly getting back to normal and that means some more comfortable
:33:32. > :33:34.weather for getting a good nights sleep -- temperatures getting back.
:33:35. > :33:36.Another couple of days of heatwave but things are fresher by Thursday.
