:02:56. > :03:07.It's been described as the worst fire in Britain since the Second

:03:11. > :03:16.carried out on the panels covering the outside of the tower and have
:03:17. > :03:22.confirmed that a fridge sparked the fire. Berlin Minna Rhee tests on the
:03:23. > :03:27.instillation samples collected from Grenfell Tower showed that they
:03:28. > :03:30.combusted soon after the test started -- preliminary tests. The
:03:31. > :03:35.initial tests on the cladding tiles also failed the safety tests. We are
:03:36. > :03:39.also concerned about the fridge freezer in this matter. We have been
:03:40. > :03:47.working with the Department of energy, business and industrial
:03:48. > :03:50.strategy, who are working with Hotpoint on the safety of that
:03:51. > :03:55.fridge. And as the investigation progresses it is clear the police
:03:56. > :04:00.are looking to bring those responsible to justice. We are
:04:01. > :04:06.looking at every criminal offence, from manslaughter onwards. We are
:04:07. > :04:13.looking at every health and safety and fire safety offence, and we are
:04:14. > :04:18.reviewing every investigation, every company at the moment involved in
:04:19. > :04:22.the building and refurbishment of Grenfell Tower. The Grenfell fire is
:04:23. > :04:26.having repercussions for high-rise buildings right across the country.
:04:27. > :04:31.The safety of 600 tower blocks is now being checked. And already, 11
:04:32. > :04:35.have been found with cladding which raises safety concerns. The
:04:36. > :04:40.authorities are trying to work as quickly as possible, with 100
:04:41. > :04:45.buildings being inspected per day. But here in Plymouth, as elsewhere,
:04:46. > :04:52.residents living in tower blocks are now extremely nervous. Our fear is,
:04:53. > :04:56.who knows what's going to happen in the next 24 hours. What if there's a
:04:57. > :04:59.fire tonight and bear in mind all of the cladding is not proved to be
:05:00. > :05:03.safe enough, how are we going to stand a chance? Especially if we are
:05:04. > :05:09.all asleep and we don't know about it. And the concerns go beyond
:05:10. > :05:13.apartment blocks. The company which runs the Premier Inn hotel chain
:05:14. > :05:17.says this hotel in Maidenhead and two others which have aluminium

:06:11. > :06:19.What are the implications for police of the cladding at Grenfell Tower
:06:20. > :06:23.failing the fire test? Well, this is a pretty serious development,
:06:24. > :06:27.because this sort of cladding, used on buildings above 18 metres is
:06:28. > :06:31.supposed to limit the spread of fire, not encourage it, and the
:06:32. > :06:35.police were pretty clear today, the cladding failed that safety tests.

:06:42. > :06:47.cladding, between the wall and the panels of aluminium that make up the
:06:48. > :06:51.cladding, failed even worse, the heat spread even more quickly
:06:52. > :06:57.through the instillation. Now, the cladding, according to research that
:06:58. > :07:00.we've done, was given a safety test 1997, which was supposed to show
:07:01. > :07:04.that it didn't allow flames to spread very fast. That raises the
:07:05. > :07:07.question of whether the regulations and testing are not the job of

:07:12. > :07:16.ensuring safety and towers like this. This is a very complex
:07:17. > :07:19.investigation with many strands. Absolutely. Highly technical,
:07:20. > :07:25.obviously. They have to look at what the causes of a fire, the
:07:26. > :07:28.contracting and the mechanism by which the tower was refurbished over
:07:29. > :07:32.the last few years. They have to look at who might be to blame for
:07:33. > :07:36.breaches of any health and safety regulations all building safety
:07:37. > :07:40.regulations. That will involve detailed crawl of paperwork and the
:07:41. > :07:43.police said today they are seizing paperwork from companies that are
:07:44. > :07:46.involved in the maintenance of the building, managing the building and
:07:47. > :07:50.the refurbishment of it. And the law in this area is very complicated as
:07:51. > :07:54.well. The health and safety laws may have been breached and also
:07:55. > :07:57.corporate manslaughter laws may have been breached. To prove that the
:07:58. > :08:01.police will have to show that the heads of companies knew they were
:08:02. > :08:03.breaking the law, and that can be very difficult. Tom Symonds, many

:08:12. > :08:14.Commission Jean-Claude Juncker has criticised Theresa May's proposals
:08:15. > :08:18.to allow EU citizens to stay in the UK, saying they are first step but
:08:19. > :08:21.not sufficient. This morning Mrs May described her plan as fair and
:08:22. > :08:22.serious. Our Europe correspondent Damian Grammaticas reports from
:08:23. > :08:30.Brussels. Her opening gambit has been played,
:08:31. > :08:35.but will it be enough? Last night, EU leaders listened to Theresa May
:08:36. > :08:39.in silence. Her plan for citizens' rights has had a lukewarm reception.
:08:40. > :08:43.I want to reassure all those EU citizens who are in the UK, who have
:08:44. > :08:47.made their lives and homes in the UK, that no one will have to leave.
:08:48. > :08:51.We won't be seeing families split apart. This is a fair and serious
:08:52. > :08:57.offer. But the EU doesn't appear to agree. The EU's own proposal already
:08:58. > :09:00.on the table is more generous to all the 4 million affected including the
:09:01. > :09:07.UK citizens who made their homes in EU countries. A step in the right
:09:08. > :09:12.direction? It's a step, but this step is not sufficient. EU plan is
:09:13. > :09:18.-- would not seek any current rights withdrawn from anyone. Some are
:09:19. > :09:23.concerned Theresa May's citizens would be worse off. Is a good first

:09:28. > :09:31.There are citizens who are not covered with Mrs May's proposal and

:09:35. > :09:39.leaders is the author Theresa May has put on the table for the low the
:09:40. > :09:43.one the EU has really put forward. -- the offer Theresa May has put on
:09:44. > :09:46.the table. The question is by how much, and they won't know until we
:09:47. > :09:51.see the details on Monday. The issues EU wants to see clarified,
:09:52. > :09:55.exactly who would and wouldn't be eligible for residency, for example
:09:56. > :09:58.spouses and children. Would they be able to come in future? What would
:09:59. > :10:02.be the cut-off date after which people can't claim the new status?
:10:03. > :10:05.And what guarantees a rather the UK will honour these rights far into

:10:12. > :10:14.cases? But this summit is not the place for negotiations on the issue.
:10:15. > :10:22.Those will only happen once the UK plan is published. It seems as if
:10:23. > :10:29.the EU wants more detail from Theresa May? Yes, precisely, because
:10:30. > :10:34.what the leaders here have had so far last night was just the broad
:10:35. > :10:38.outlines of what she's offering. Now, remember, as I was saying, the
:10:39. > :10:45.EU has already put forward its proposal. It's a maximum proposal
:10:46. > :10:50.that says all existing rights that everybody has, that's all of EU
:10:51. > :10:54.citizens in the UK, 3 million people and UK citizens who have made their
:10:55. > :10:59.lives in Europe, another million or so, all of those people the EU wants
:11:00. > :11:03.to preserve into the future. The EU has tabled that already. What they
:11:04. > :11:07.need to see, they say, is the detail of this, because that is crucial.
:11:08. > :11:10.They will go through line by line when it announced on Monday to see
:11:11. > :11:15.what it means. There are some absolutely critical questions. Will
:11:16. > :11:21.be who is covered by Theresa May's offer, and who is not. Because there
:11:22. > :11:24.will be some, it seems, who fall out of this offer, who do not get rights
:11:25. > :11:28.reserved into the future. That's one issue for the EU. The second thing
:11:29. > :11:33.is, what rights precisely? Which ones will they keep and which will
:11:34. > :11:37.they lose far into the future? All of those will determine the EU's
:11:38. > :11:40.position, because the EU's point of view is these are current rights
:11:41. > :11:45.that 4 million people enjoy. The debate at the minute is about what
:11:46. > :11:48.could be taken away. The EU doesn't believe rights should be taken away.
:11:49. > :11:51.It's going to be a very, very difficult set of talks once they

:24:50. > :24:58.have decided the time is right now to hang up my microphone. Even his
:24:59. > :25:05.retirement was unmistakably Blowers. The soundtrack of a sporting summer.
:25:06. > :25:10.My goodness me, you won't see a bigger six in 100 years. But his
:25:11. > :25:16.descriptive powers went far further than just the cricket. Their's the
:25:17. > :25:21.pigeon, he has come in on Q. How splendid. Flying over proceedings,
:25:22. > :25:26.beating his wings quickly. I think he is an English pigeon. Today,
:25:27. > :25:31.Henry Blofeld joked the lifestyles of birds would be getting rather
:25:32. > :25:34.less coverage. At 77, this summer's commentary will be his last. The
:25:35. > :25:46.harder it becomes at my age, you are
:25:47. > :25:49.justifying your position with people much younger than you and so
:25:50. > :25:52.therefore I was under a lot of pressure. I thought, this is silly.
:25:53. > :25:54.I am the last of the old fights. Time to go and leave people with
:25:55. > :26:01.happy memories and they want more, rather than saying, why the hell
:26:02. > :26:08.hasn't he gone before? Do you know what I mean?! His career highlights
:26:09. > :26:11.are this, England's famous win over Australia in 1981. But his larger
:26:12. > :26:18.than life character appealed far beyond cricket. What I loathe more
:26:19. > :26:24.about modern life more than anything people who want to talk to me at
:26:25. > :26:29.breakfast. Henry Blofeld was an entertainer. His effervescent and
:26:30. > :26:34.enthusiasm made him a broadcasting one. He is an incredibly colourful
:26:35. > :26:39.personality. Anything wandering past he will talk about. I often say
:26:40. > :26:43.rather cheekily that there is no one I have worked with, that brings a
:26:44. > :26:50.game of cricket more to life than Henry Blofeld does. He does bring it
:26:51. > :26:55.to life. That is what we will miss. So his long innings is nearly over.
:26:56. > :26:58.After his last commentary in September, Henry Blofeld will leave
:26:59. > :27:02.cricket and less colourful and less charismatic place.

:27:25. > :27:27.ahead to the first test. Auckland is undergoing
:27:28. > :27:28.a transformation. The Lions are coming
:27:29. > :27:31.and what started as a trickle We are like minions walking around
:27:32. > :27:35.here with red tops on! But some fans have struggled to find
:27:36. > :27:38.an affordable place to stay. Until locals came up
:27:39. > :27:42.with a solution. They have opened up
:27:43. > :27:44.their homes for free. We're young so we are on a real
:27:45. > :27:47.tight budget I would say, so just the ability to have
:27:48. > :27:50.somewhere to stay for the night and not have to break the bank
:27:51. > :27:53.for it, means we can At the end of the day,
:27:54. > :27:57.they're guests in our country, so it seemed like the right thing
:27:58. > :28:00.to do, and it's been This was the last time
:28:01. > :28:13.they tasted success We haven't beaten them in New
:28:14. > :28:31.Zealand since then, in any series. I look back and that was
:28:32. > :28:34.one of the great sort of feats of the Lions,
:28:35. > :28:36.no question about that. And it had a profound affect
:28:37. > :28:38.on the Lions' Kiwi coach. You know, I thought rugby was
:28:39. > :28:41.invented in New Zealand growing up. I didn't think the All Blacks
:28:42. > :28:44.could ever be beaten, so did have quite an impact on me
:28:45. > :28:47.in 1971 when the Lions beat It was the first time that I kind
:28:48. > :28:52.of realised that the game was played So began his love

:29:16. > :29:23.before they even take part, because they've got this aura
:29:24. > :29:26.about them, but I think what has happened so far in this Lions tour,
:29:27. > :29:30.a slow start but momentum has definitely built over the last
:29:31. > :29:33.maybe two or three games. I think there's a real energy
:29:34. > :29:36.there that if they do battle, they do believe in themselves
:29:37. > :29:40.and they can definitely win. Rugby and the All Blacks
:29:41. > :29:44.are revered in New Zealand, but by the end of this tour,

:30:04. > :30:09.out there than it has been for the last week or so. Here is the view
:30:10. > :30:13.over Lake Windermere in Cumbria. We have grey skies, low clouds and some
:30:14. > :30:21.truth in the outbreaks of rain. Elsewhere in the country, some blue
:30:22. > :30:23.sky round. A bit of fair weather cloud but also some sunshine. A
:30:24. > :30:32.fairly breezy feel to the weather today. If we look at these two
:30:33. > :30:36.locations, Ambleside under a line of cloud, Maidstone in the south-east
:30:37. > :30:40.and much sunnier, brighter conditions. We also have some

:31:31. > :31:36.bright. Heading through this evening, we have a lot of cloud
:31:37. > :31:40.still, particularly across England and Wales. Some outbreaks of rain
