:05:42. > :05:44.indictment, really, of the care system, especially for adolescents
:05:45. > :05:50.who need mental health provision. This is a girl who has been in

:05:54. > :05:59.problems and is, in effect, being nursed in the room without any items

:06:04. > :06:06.there is a concern expressed by experts and doctors that, if she
:06:07. > :06:10.leaves without supervision, she'll try to kill herself within 24 to 48
:06:11. > :06:17.hours. According to doctors, what she needs, is long-term therapeutic

:11:14. > :11:14.main stories. The cladding on more than 200
:11:15. > :11:17.buildings in England have now failed fire safety tests,
:11:18. > :11:18.implemented in the wake In the second round of large scale
:11:19. > :11:22.tests ordered by the government, more than 100 high rise blocks
:11:23. > :11:33.failed to meet current regulations. Our home affairs correspondent, Tom
:11:34. > :11:38.Symonds, has joined me. Some shocking results, it would seem. The
:11:39. > :11:42.government is taking the same cladding that was used at the
:11:43. > :11:45.Grenfell Tower and testing it by setting fire to it with different
:11:46. > :11:52.types of insulation, the bit behind the cladding. In the first two
:11:53. > :11:55.tests, those tests had to be stopped in seven or eight minutes because
:11:56. > :11:59.the flames got so high at the top of the test rig that it was a safety
:12:00. > :12:04.hazard. This test should last 40 minutes. The government says that
:12:05. > :12:08.shows that it should not have been on any of these blocks. And this
:12:09. > :12:17.morning I spoke to serve Ken night, the man cheering the advice panel,
:12:18. > :12:21.and he said that probably this type of cladding would have to be
:12:22. > :12:25.removed, and that is something that landlords are now considering. He
:12:26. > :12:29.said there was no evidence so far that that sort of cladding had ever
:12:30. > :12:33.been given this test before, despite the fact that building regulations
:12:34. > :12:38.say, if it is used on tall buildings, there has to be a study
:12:39. > :12:40.as to whether it's safe. I asked him earlier in the interview, did he
:12:41. > :12:42.feel the fire safety profession that failed?
:12:43. > :12:45.I think we've all failed in the sense that people have
:12:46. > :12:48.lost their lives so tragically and dramatically and that is why
:12:49. > :12:53.It's in my DNA to be into fire safety and fire protection.
:12:54. > :12:58.I feel we have recognised what now needs to be done in so many ways
:12:59. > :13:00.including listening to public inquiries and listening
:13:01. > :13:13.There are public enquiries, a public enquiry going on, a police

:14:00. > :14:03.following the Netherlands throughout the tournament and they are
:14:04. > :14:08.expecting about 30,000 tonight. This is a confident side, full of belief.
:14:09. > :14:09.They can call on the tournament's top scorer, Jodie Taylor, who is in

:14:20. > :14:22.the semifinals. Jodie Taylor has scored five at the Euros, no team
:14:23. > :14:26.has been able to stop her. As relaxed off the pitch as she is
:14:27. > :14:30.bearing down on goal, Taylor knows the prize for the top scorer of the

:14:36. > :14:42.everyone wants to score goals. The main priority Tommy is for the team

:14:58. > :15:01.making up for lost time there was a moment where I thought it might not
:15:02. > :15:04.work out for that I'm quite proud of sticking at it and the hard work
:15:05. > :15:11.I've put in. It feels like it's paying off. The England players now

:15:28. > :15:32.expectations are at an all-time high. With Germany, the holders,
:15:33. > :15:36.already out, England may never have a better chance of winning their
:15:37. > :15:38.first major tournament, but they will not underestimate the
:15:39. > :15:42.Netherlands, who will have a sell-out crowd behind them for the

:15:47. > :15:52.and conceded just one goal. They have showcased their pace and flair

:16:01. > :16:06.it's working for us so far. We have to show it again. Visiting fans can

:21:13. > :21:17.who had brought the case on behalf of the government asking for a

:22:42. > :22:48.That figure is slightly worse than a decade ago.
:22:49. > :22:52.And there are huge regional variations.
:22:53. > :22:53.The attainment gap is generally smaller in London,

:22:58. > :22:59.We can speculate that funding would be a

:23:17. > :23:18.less in future and suffer bad health.
:23:19. > :23:22.Put simply, it leads to wasted potential.
:23:23. > :23:24.As a head teacher, it's really disappointing to read
:23:25. > :23:28.this report and see how little progress has been made.
:23:29. > :23:30.If we had the right funding, the right support
:23:31. > :23:39.for children and their families, it would make such a difference.

:24:29. > :24:44.The Italian Navy used to play a key role rescuing those caught in stormy

:24:50. > :24:56.help the Libyan coast guard spot migrant boats as they set sail, and
:24:57. > :25:00.stop them going any further. The abrupt change of mission was given

:25:23. > :25:27.is to bring a flow which is in the hundreds of thousands, to close to
:25:28. > :25:32.zero. Almost 100,000 migrants have reached Italy so far this year.
:25:33. > :25:37.Other EU countries were supposed to have taken many of them. But it has
:25:38. > :25:41.not happened. So large numbers are applying for asylum here, putting
:25:42. > :25:48.the government under pressure with elections looming next year. Now the
:25:49. > :25:52.Italian Navy's sophisticated radar will enable the Libyan coast guard
:25:53. > :26:00.to stop many migrant boats before they leave Libyan territorial
:26:01. > :26:04.waters. And send them back to Libya. That is sparking alarm amongst human
:26:05. > :26:10.rights organisations. There is no system to claim asylum. There is
:26:11. > :26:14.automatic detention of irregular migrants in centres where people are
:26:15. > :26:20.systematically abused, and it is completely on clear how the Italian

:27:18. > :27:22.Today in Rome it's 42 degrees celsius.
:27:23. > :27:35.Southern Europe is sweltering. The swimming pools may be full but many
:27:36. > :27:40.rivers and reservoirs have been emptied by drought. Minnows --
:27:41. > :27:44.millions of people are struggling to stay cool on a continent getting
:27:45. > :27:48.hotter. Normally across southern Europe temperatures are generally
:27:49. > :27:53.between 28 and 30 degrees. Those temperatures are around ten to 15
:27:54. > :27:58.Celsius above average at the moment. Very high. And the persistence of
:27:59. > :28:02.the heatwave is causing problems across the region. There is no
:28:03. > :28:07.relief at night either. In the south of France it is 31 degrees. That is
:28:08. > :28:13.at all half past ten. This constant heat has consequences. Wildfires
:28:14. > :28:18.have become a growing problem across Europe. This one is in Croatia,
:28:19. > :28:24.where more than 150 people battled through the night to protect those
:28:25. > :28:30.living nearby. Climate change means problems like this are likely to get
:28:31. > :28:33.worse. Southern European climate is variable year-on-year but the
:28:34. > :28:36.evidence would suggest that what we are seeing here is out of the
:28:37. > :28:41.ordinary, and perhaps evidence that these extreme temperatures,
:28:42. > :28:47.heatwaves, are becoming more extreme and Dalton were frequent. 2003 saw
:28:48. > :28:52.the hottest European temperatures in 500 years. Its impact was
:28:53. > :28:56.devastating. It caused the biggest fall in agricultural output in a
:28:57. > :29:01.century and tens of thousands of deaths, most of them in France. That
:29:02. > :29:04.is something else we may have to be ready for. If left unchecked, it
:29:05. > :29:08.estimated the rising global temperatures could cause 40% more
:29:09. > :29:13.heat related deaths in Britain by the end of the century, more than
:29:14. > :29:16.18,000 a year. But in Central and southern Europe, those deaths could
:29:17. > :29:23.double to more than 173,000 each year. For those on the beach at
:29:24. > :29:27.Weston-Super-Mare today, a little bit of sunshine might have been
:29:28. > :29:32.welcome. Europe's heatwave is not expected to reach -- reach the UK

:29:42. > :29:43.We're used to eye-watering amounts of money in football,

:30:11. > :30:15.But crucially, we will also talk about the weather now.
:30:16. > :30:26.It is really stifling across much of the Mediterranean.
:30:27. > :30:30.You can see the deep red colours from Portugal into Greece and the
:30:31. > :30:35.Balkans. Cooler, fresher conditions. Temperatures below the average in
:30:36. > :30:40.the north of Europe. The heatwave focuses around the central
:30:41. > :30:46.Mediterranean, around Italy. Deep red colours towards the Balkans and
:30:47. > :30:49.parts of Spain. We're looking at 41 degrees in Florence. The mid 40s in
:30:50. > :30:57.southern parts of Italy. Dangerous heat. Back home, low pressure still
:30:58. > :31:03.with us. Wet and windy in places. Plenty of showers macro in England
:31:04. > :31:07.and Wales. Quite a focus in the north-east of England. For Scotland,
:31:08. > :31:11.the centre of this area of low pressure, light winds. The showers
:31:12. > :31:15.will be heavy and slow moving. If you catch one it will be with you
:31:16. > :31:19.for quite a while and could lead to problems on the road. Standing water
:31:20. > :31:25.as well. Temperatures nothing special. Northern Ireland, showers.
:31:26. > :31:32.England and Wales they will be rattling through on strong wind.
:31:33. > :31:39.Winds strong enough to bring down the odd brands on the South West
:31:40. > :31:44.Coast. This evening the winds ease. They continue to do overnight. Drier
:31:45. > :31:49.for many. Showers and light rain pushing into parts of Scotland.
:31:50. > :31:53.Temperatures similar to recent nights. Into Friday, I think central
:31:54. > :31:57.and southern part of the country not doing too badly. Longer, drier
:31:58. > :32:03.spells. Fewer showers. Sunshine as well. For the northern half of the
:32:04. > :32:08.country, plenty of showers. It should feel a few degrees cooler
:32:09. > :32:14.than today. For the south-east, 2324 degrees. On the flip side, a touch
:32:15. > :32:19.warmer. Our area of low pressure eventually get a move on into the no
:32:20. > :32:23.confidence. We see this area of low pressure. This will be a big player
:32:24. > :32:28.in our weather next week, calming things down. For Saturday, a few
:32:29. > :32:33.showers. The odd heavy one for England and Wales. Sunny spells in
:32:34. > :32:37.between. Feeling on the cool side. For Sunday, ridge of high pressure
:32:38. > :32:40.making things quieter for England and Wales. A weather front pushing
:32:41. > :32:46.into Northern Ireland and western Scotland. The weekend, Saturday,
:32:47. > :32:53.sunshine and showers. For Sunday, for many, dry with winds.
:32:54. > :33:02.It will feel quite pleasant as well. Thank you very much. A reminder of
:33:03. > :33:07.the main story. The Bank of England has cut its growth forecast for the
:33:08. > :33:10.UK economy and has left interest rates the same. The governor of the
:33:11. > :33:22.bank was also downbeat about wage growth and its impact on families.
