:03:08. > :03:10.councils estimate 600 buildings may have similar cladding. There will be

:03:28. > :03:33.they are taking all possible steps to ensure buildings are safe, and to
:03:34. > :03:43.inform affected residents. The BBC has seen e-mails sent residents in
:03:44. > :03:45.this north London block, telling them the cladding here is similar to
:03:46. > :03:47.Grenfell Tower. But the flats do have the safety systems in place,
:03:48. > :03:49.including sprinklers. Although the reason for the Grenfell fire hasn't
:03:50. > :03:52.been firmly established, the Labour leader wants councils to be given
:03:53. > :03:57.enough cash to replace cladding. Is obviously a huge cost involved in
:03:58. > :04:01.removing and re-cladding blocks that are found to have flammable
:04:02. > :04:06.materials included in them. That, resources that money that must be
:04:07. > :04:10.made available immediately because it's a huge job of work. But while
:04:11. > :04:17.precautions are being taken now, some opposition politicians accused
:04:18. > :04:23.the government of being too slow to act and recommendations from four
:04:24. > :04:26.years ago following this fire at Lakanal House in south London. The
:04:27. > :04:29.coroner said those deaths were avoidable, that there should have
:04:30. > :04:31.been sprinklers, that there should have been changing the fire
:04:32. > :04:37.instructions, that there should be greater supervision of contracts and
:04:38. > :04:40.fire inspection. The coroner did not, as I understand it, say there
:04:41. > :04:46.should be sprinklers in every one of these types of properties. But what
:04:47. > :04:51.is important is that because of what underpins what she was saying was a
:04:52. > :04:56.necessity of making sure that people living in similar blocks are able to
:04:57. > :05:00.feel reassured about their safety. Here in Kensington the most senior
:05:01. > :05:03.official in the local authority has resigned. This was welcomed at
:05:04. > :05:09.Westminster by the council -- while the council was criticised for a
:05:10. > :05:13.slow response to the crisis. The Prime Minister wants to see swift
:05:14. > :05:16.recommendations from the forthcoming public enquiry, but Grenfell Tower
:05:17. > :05:19.appears to be becoming something of a political symbol of inequality and
:05:20. > :05:23.a new consensus seems to be emerging here in the House of Commons that
:05:24. > :05:27.more priority should be given to people who live in rented housing.
:05:28. > :05:32.We have to learn those lessons, to make sure this tragedy is a turning
:05:33. > :05:37.point in our whole attitude and never again do people dying
:05:38. > :05:42.needlessly in a towering Inferno, litigant poverty, surrounded by a
:05:43. > :05:46.sea of prosperity. Long after the TV cameras have gone and the world has
:05:47. > :05:49.moved on, let the legacy of this awful tragedy be that we resolve
:05:50. > :05:52.never to forget these people and instead to gear our policies and our
:05:53. > :05:56.thinking towards making their lives better and bringing them into the
:05:57. > :05:58.political process. But more immediately the government needs to
:05:59. > :06:06.reassure tenants across the country that their safety is paramount. Iain
:06:07. > :06:10.Watson, BBC News, Westminster. Tom Symonds is with me now. We have an
:06:11. > :06:12.estimated 600 tower blocks in England alone that have an aluminium
:06:13. > :06:17.type cladding. It's not confirmed yet apart from three, how
:06:18. > :06:22.many could be combustible. Yes, as we are learning with this subject,
:06:23. > :06:25.the devil is in the details so 600 tower blocks with aluminium cladding
:06:26. > :06:29.added to the outside of those buildings are something councils do
:06:30. > :06:32.to improve the thermal insulation of the building and of course the look
:06:33. > :06:37.of the building. Now what we don't know is how many of them might be an
:06:38. > :06:42.assault category that we think the Grenfell Tower materials were, which
:06:43. > :06:45.is a category which enables them to burn in a fire, combustibility of
:06:46. > :06:50.the industry calls it. That's crucial. As you heard the government
:06:51. > :06:56.said they've identified three, and so those will need action taking,
:06:57. > :06:59.and also they are testing about 100 pieces of material from tower blocks
:07:00. > :07:02.the day, and that's quite an important and rigorous test. So
:07:03. > :07:05.there's a lot of work to do before the government can be clear about
:07:06. > :07:09.the scale of its problem, but of course for every one of those 600
:07:10. > :07:12.tower blocks there will be hundreds of residents very concerned. For
:07:13. > :07:14.that reason the government is not saying which tower blocks it's
:07:15. > :07:19.inspecting at this stage, but I think we are going to be a long list
:07:20. > :07:23.of those tower blocks, possibly a shorter list, depending on what they
:07:24. > :07:26.find, over the days to come. Even before test results come back there
:07:27. > :07:31.some local authorities taking matters into their own hands. Camden
:07:32. > :07:36.Council has decided remove cladding from some tower blocks and the devil
:07:37. > :07:38.is in the detail in this one. It's very interesting the statement
:07:39. > :07:45.they've given us this morning, they have said that the aluminium panels
:07:46. > :07:50.involved are of a polyethylene core, so that's a PE core, as its name.
:07:51. > :07:53.It's thought that is the same as the one used at Grenfell Tower. But they
:07:54. > :07:56.also say the panels that were fitted were not to the standard we had
:07:57. > :08:00.commissioned. So that suggests that somewhere along the line, for
:08:01. > :08:03.whatever reason, there's been a confusion or a deliberate piece of
:08:04. > :08:07.cost-cutting that has led to the wrong sort of panel being fitted to
:08:08. > :08:10.the tower block. Of course that opens at the question that something
:08:11. > :08:18.similar happened at Grenfell Tower. We don't either way but it's a
:08:19. > :08:21.question for the investigation and the public enquiry, and of course
:08:22. > :08:24.the government will need to check that hasn't happened in other places
:08:25. > :08:26.around the country. Let's go to ours Assistant political editor Norman
:08:27. > :08:28.Smith in Westminster. The Prime Minister says more results should
:08:29. > :08:33.begin in the next 48 hours but it goes to show the task the government
:08:34. > :08:36.have a head. What seems to be emerging out of the tragedy, the
:08:37. > :08:41.horror of Grenfell Tower, is potentially a much wider housing
:08:42. > :08:45.scandal centred on social housing and the quality of fire protection
:08:46. > :08:50.given to residents in there. And already we have had calls from some
:08:51. > :08:54.Labour MPs for those residents in towers potentially affected to be
:08:55. > :09:00.immediately rehoused. That would of course be a massive undertaking.
:09:01. > :09:05.Ministers, while stressing that safety of course is paramount, are
:09:06. > :09:10.keen not to start any sort of panic. So they are saying that they hope to
:09:11. > :09:14.have the necessary tests on the tower blocks completed within days.
:09:15. > :09:20.Those tower blocks which have similar cladding, fire experts will
:09:21. > :09:22.going to assess whether the buildings are actually unsafe.
:09:23. > :09:27.Because it is argued just because there is some similar cladding does
:09:28. > :09:30.not necessarily mean those buildings are unsafe, because it depends how
:09:31. > :09:37.much cladding varies, where it is, what are the sort of preventative
:09:38. > :09:40.Fire safety methods may be in place but what we can say is there seems
:09:41. > :09:45.to be an appetite for fundamental rethink about the attitude here at
:09:46. > :09:48.Westminster towards social housing and the sort of priority it's given.

:10:37. > :10:41.the leaders this evening at dinner about the issue of citizens' rights,
:10:42. > :10:44.what she says is this British UK offer to be put on the table. The EU
:10:45. > :10:50.side already has its offer. It's made it quite a few weeks ago,
:10:51. > :10:52.saying that all existing rights, that 4 million people have, UK
:10:53. > :10:57.citizens living in the EU, EU citizens in the UK could, should be
:10:58. > :11:01.preserved, guaranteed for life, that's rights to work, pension
:11:02. > :11:05.rights, things like that, education rights. We will see of Theresa May's
:11:06. > :11:11.offer matches that or not. But the leaders here will not engage with
:11:12. > :11:14.her in discussions about it. That is for the separate negotiation process
:11:15. > :11:19.which David Davis is part of. So they will listen politely and then
:11:20. > :11:21.usher her out of the room, so that they can discuss Brexit themselves
:11:22. > :11:25.and how they feel the start of talks is going. Interestingly Donald Tusk,

:13:23. > :13:25.Well, it means we won't be able to carry on growing food.
:13:26. > :13:28.I mean, they are the critical resource for us to be able
:13:29. > :13:35.And the logic of extension, of not being able to harvest that crop,

:26:13. > :26:15.justice Collins has ruled that the government's failure to exempt this
:26:16. > :26:20.specific group, parents with children under two years of age, to
:26:21. > :26:23.exempt them from the benefits cap, is an unlawful because it

:26:34. > :26:38.cap. The cap itself limits the amount of state benefits, including
:26:39. > :26:43.housing benefit, that families can claim. Some groups however are
:26:44. > :26:47.exempt. For instance, if you are a full-time carer, you are exempt. The
:26:48. > :26:51.claimants, two of whom were made homeless as a result of domestic
:26:52. > :26:55.violence, claimed during the case that the cap meant they had to make
:26:56. > :26:59.hard decisions between paying their rent or buying food. The government
:27:00. > :27:02.has been given permission to appeal, but the judge expressed his view

:30:07. > :30:09.and I'm sure that bookies will not want that on to win today, but there
:30:10. > :30:16.are others in the field that could rival him. It is Ladies Day at royal
:30:17. > :30:19.Ascot. We have been seeing some bright and colourful fashions going

:30:52. > :31:04.What a difference a day makes. Yesterday, 35, today, 25. 10 degrees
:31:05. > :31:06.cooler for some of us, but we have swapped sunshine for heavy and
:31:07. > :31:12.thundery showers in some parts of the country. This scene was pictured
:31:13. > :31:16.by mark in Kent a few hours ago. Still some heavy showers and
:31:17. > :31:21.thunderstorms. Further north, a bit more cloud around. This is North
:31:22. > :31:25.Yorkshire. Fairly similar up and down many parts, grey skies and we
:31:26. > :31:28.have seen recently. Over the next few days, that fresh theme, with
:31:29. > :31:35.some outbreaks of rain some of us. 35 degrees yesterday, many of us
:31:36. > :31:38.typically around 20 today, especially in central and northern
:31:39. > :31:41.parts. It is warmer in the south-east, with a few heavy showers
:31:42. > :31:45.and thunderstorms just clearing out to the east over next few hours. You
:31:46. > :31:52.could see the odd rumble of thunder in the afternoon. Further north
:31:53. > :31:56.west, the west of Scotland, a bit of drizzly rain at 4pm, but some sunny
:31:57. > :32:00.spells for southern Scotland and Northern Ireland just through that
:32:01. > :32:04.cloud. Mostly dry over much of northern England and down towards
:32:05. > :32:08.the Midlands. Still those showers pretty close to the coast for
:32:09. > :32:11.Lincolnshire and parts of Norfolk, but largely drive further south in
:32:12. > :32:16.England and Wales with quite a bit of cloud around, and temperatures
:32:17. > :32:20.typically in the low 20s. This evening, any showers in the east
:32:21. > :32:24.bade away quickly. We will start to see wind and rain heading in from
:32:25. > :32:27.the north-west, bringing rain to Northern Ireland, Scotland, parts of
:32:28. > :32:32.north-west England and Wales. Dry elsewhere tonight and much more
:32:33. > :32:35.comfortable for sleeping, so it will be a bit of a relief, temperatures
:32:36. > :32:41.falling to 14 or 15. Tomorrow, this weather front heading south-east,
:32:42. > :32:45.opening the doors for fresh air to move in from the west or north west,
:32:46. > :32:50.so different feel to the weather tomorrow. Patchy rain heading south
:32:51. > :32:54.across England and Wales. It should brighten up for Northern Ireland and
:32:55. > :32:57.Scotland, a return to sunshine and showers, and for southern parts and
:32:58. > :33:01.the south-east, largely dry quite bright and warm. Elsewhere,
:33:02. > :33:06.temperatures around about average for the time of year, up in the high
:33:07. > :33:10.teens, maybe the low 20s. At the weekend, it's looking like a day of
:33:11. > :33:14.sunshine and scattered showers on Saturday. It will feel fresher than
:33:15. > :33:19.it has done, around 15 to 23 degrees. Similar on Sunday, but a
:33:20. > :33:24.few showers around, but you're likely to stay dry. Things are
:33:25. > :33:26.certainly not looking as hot as the last week or so, so fairly normal
:33:27. > :33:36.for the time of between 16 and 22. An estimated 600 high-rise buildings
:33:37. > :33:42.in England have similar cladding to Grenfell Tower. Urgent tests are
:33:43. > :33:45.being carried out. So far, it's been confirmed that three have
:33:46. > :33:47.combustible cladding. The Prime Minister says steps are being taken
:33:48. > :33:49.to make them safe.
