0:00:08 > 0:00:10A memorial service at St Paul's Cathedral to remember
0:00:10 > 0:00:12the 71 people who died in the Grenfell Tower fire.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15Members of the Royal family joined survivors and relatives of those
0:00:15 > 0:00:25who died in the fire six months ago today.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33# Inshallah you'll find your way
0:00:33 > 0:00:35More than 1,500 people attended the multi faith service.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38We come together as people of different faiths, and none,
0:00:38 > 0:00:43as we remember before God those whose lives were lost.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46We'll hear from survivors and relatives who attended the service.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Also this lunchtime:
0:00:48 > 0:00:50A major turning point for a media mogul -
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Rupert Murdoch is shrinking his empire by selling the majority
0:00:52 > 0:01:00of his company Fox to Disney.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Heading back to Brussels after her Brexit Commons defeat -
0:01:02 > 0:01:05the Prime Minister will join EU leaders at a crucial summit.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08At last a good day for England in the Ashes, as Dawid Malan
0:01:08 > 0:01:11scores his maiden test century.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13A 70-year-old mystery is solved - the story of the boy who was found
0:01:19 > 0:01:20in a box as a baby
0:01:20 > 0:01:26on the steps of the BBC.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55A multi-faith memorial service has taken place at St Paul's Cathedral,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58six months to the day since the fire
0:01:58 > 0:02:01at Grenfell Tower in West London, which left 71 people dead.
0:02:01 > 0:02:08Reeta Chakrabarti is at St Paul's.
0:02:13 > 0:02:19it's been a day of emotion and also reflection here at St Paul's
0:02:19 > 0:02:24Cathedral, as survivors, families and rescuers gathered six months to
0:02:24 > 0:02:31the day since that terrible tragedy at Grenfell Tower. Our correspondent
0:02:31 > 0:02:34reports on the morning's events.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39It's been a long six months for so many families whose lives were torn
0:02:39 > 0:02:44apart exactly six months ago. The tragedy which highlighted failures
0:02:44 > 0:02:49alongside the bravery of the emergency services and the unity
0:02:49 > 0:02:56within a community. Today they came together.We try our best to stay
0:02:56 > 0:03:01together and stay united, so that's exactly what's happening and all the
0:03:01 > 0:03:09difficulties we have, all of the hard days, the hard time we had is
0:03:09 > 0:03:12unforgettable, we cannot forget. Joined by members of the Royal
0:03:12 > 0:03:17family who have met many of those affected by the fire, alongside
0:03:17 > 0:03:22political leaders showing their support. The Duke and Duchess of
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Cambridge and Prince Harry making their way to their seats, sat
0:03:26 > 0:03:30alongside the Prime Minister, multi faith leaders and the community
0:03:30 > 0:03:37surrounding Grenfell Tower. But at the heart of the service,
0:03:37 > 0:03:42remembering the 53 adults and 18 children who lost their lives,
0:03:42 > 0:03:46including the youngest victim who would have been one today.Welcome
0:03:46 > 0:03:52each one of you to this national memorial service of remembrance,
0:03:52 > 0:04:06community and hope.The service incorporated in Islamic girls choir,
0:04:06 > 0:04:13a steel band...You begin to feel survivors guilt and I think maybe
0:04:13 > 0:04:19not now but within the next couple of months we will start to question,
0:04:19 > 0:04:28why wasn't them? Why did we survive, why didn't they?But for some, it
0:04:28 > 0:04:36became too much. Raw emotions still plain to see. Others watched the
0:04:36 > 0:04:40service live streamed to a mosque close to the tower which became an
0:04:40 > 0:04:47emergency shelter at the time, taking in clothes and food. After
0:04:47 > 0:04:51paying their respects, families and survivors left in silence carrying
0:04:51 > 0:04:55white roses and pictured of their loved ones, holding the heart of
0:04:55 > 0:05:01their community which will lead a silent vigil later today.
0:05:01 > 0:05:09I'm joined now by Sandra, who lost her 12-year-old niece in the
0:05:09 > 0:05:14tragedy, and also by the right Reverend Graham Tomlin, the Bishop
0:05:14 > 0:05:22of Kensington. Thanks for joining us. Sandra, how has this service
0:05:22 > 0:05:29affected you?It was a beautiful service. It was very reflective. I
0:05:29 > 0:05:35thought it was really representative of the community. Wonderful having
0:05:35 > 0:05:43the children there and the music was lovely also. It gave everyone an
0:05:43 > 0:05:47opportunity to come together. Some families we see quite often, others
0:05:47 > 0:05:52not so much but it was a wonderful opportunity to come together and
0:05:52 > 0:05:57remember our loved ones. That was the purpose and I think it fulfilled
0:05:57 > 0:06:03it.It was very much a multi-faith service, wasn't it, although it was
0:06:03 > 0:06:09in St Paul's Cathedral. How important was that?St Paul's is a
0:06:09 > 0:06:14great national place, a place where we come together to remember,
0:06:14 > 0:06:21commemorate and mourn. Faith is an important part of the community for
0:06:21 > 0:06:25many people. It's a Christian cathedral, but it's important we
0:06:25 > 0:06:28were able to represent lots of different traditions and faiths
0:06:28 > 0:06:34within the service at the same time so that was reflected. We worked
0:06:34 > 0:06:38hard with local groups to make sure there was a sense that everybody
0:06:38 > 0:06:43could feel this was a service they could own and feel part of and feel
0:06:43 > 0:06:47able to join in with, but also a service that offered some sense of
0:06:47 > 0:06:53hope that faith can bring.Sandra, we heard time and again of how the
0:06:53 > 0:07:00tragedy will never leave people. How has it gone on affecting you?You
0:07:00 > 0:07:03never know from one day to the next how you will be feeling, so one day
0:07:03 > 0:07:09it feels as if it was a few minutes ago, other times it feels like an
0:07:09 > 0:07:13eternity has passed and we can only take it one day at a time. Different
0:07:13 > 0:07:17members of the families have dealt with it in different ways and we
0:07:17 > 0:07:24just have to learn. It's a learning curve for all of us. I'm hoping it
0:07:24 > 0:07:35will get easier as time goes on. Sandra Ruiz and Graham Tomlin, thank
0:07:35 > 0:07:39you for joining us. As you heard, this is an event that
0:07:39 > 0:07:43will never leave the people who were affected by it but it is hoped the
0:07:43 > 0:07:47service will have gone some way to help people come to terms with what
0:07:47 > 0:07:54happened. Thank you.
0:07:54 > 0:08:00Rupert Murdoch has sold a majority of his company, 21st
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Century Fox, to Disney in one of the biggest
0:08:02 > 0:08:03media deals for years.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06After decades of expanding his huge empire, the 86-year-old media mogul
0:08:06 > 0:08:08has finally taken the decision to shrink his business
0:08:08 > 0:08:11by selling off a major wing of Fox - which owns Sky -
0:08:11 > 0:08:12for 39 billion pounds.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Our media editor Amol Rajan is here.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18How big the moment is this for the Murdoch empire?It would be hard to
0:08:18 > 0:08:23state, not just in planet Murdoch but across the whole of the media.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27His business is a complicated, vast and global business, now bought by
0:08:27 > 0:08:37Disney which includes networks and crucially the famous 20th Century
0:08:37 > 0:08:44Fox film studio. There is a revolution going on in media where
0:08:44 > 0:08:47basically the idea of channels that have a fixed moment where you can
0:08:47 > 0:08:52watch stuff is long gone and now people are consuming stuff by the
0:08:52 > 0:08:57internet. There are these big players like Amazon and Google, and
0:08:57 > 0:09:02Rupert Murdoch feels he cannot compete so it's a remarkable thing
0:09:02 > 0:09:07that even Fox is a small player compared to the big giants. What
0:09:07 > 0:09:11makes this a truly astonishing moment is that Rupert Murdoch has
0:09:11 > 0:09:14spent decades building of a media empire and this is him stepping
0:09:14 > 0:09:21back. If you had said a year ago that Rupert Murdoch would be
0:09:21 > 0:09:23retreating, I would have said you were completely mad but it's
0:09:23 > 0:09:27happened because the revolution in media is catching up even people
0:09:27 > 0:09:32like Rupert Murdoch.Thank you.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Theresa May is on her way to Brussels for a summit with EU
0:09:35 > 0:09:38leaders at which they're expected to give the go ahead for talks
0:09:38 > 0:09:40to begin on future trade relations with the UK post Brexit.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43The government is insisting that its plans for Brexit won't be
0:09:43 > 0:09:46affected by the defeat last night in the Commons which means MPs
0:09:46 > 0:09:49will have a final say on any deal with the EU.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Here's our Political Correspondent, Iain Watson.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Are you expecting another defeat? Theresa May was remaining
0:09:54 > 0:09:58tight-lipped about her first defeat in Parliament as Prime Minister.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02This is the moment it happened, when the MPs in the middle shuffled
0:10:02 > 0:10:07around, that signalled the opposition had won and the
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Government had lost. Until this moment, pro-EU Conservative rebels
0:10:11 > 0:10:16had been seen as a dog that didn't bark. Last night those rebels didn't
0:10:16 > 0:10:29just bark, they bit. Are 11 of them Theresa May's own MPs joined most of
0:10:29 > 0:10:38the opposition to inflict this narrow defeat. The House of Commons
0:10:38 > 0:10:44was less busy the morning after the night before, but still passionate.
0:10:44 > 0:10:50That was a humiliating and entirely avoidable defeat for the Government.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53This house now having spoken, can the Secretary of State give an
0:10:53 > 0:10:59assurance the Government will not seek to undermined or overturn last
0:10:59 > 0:11:04night's result.He got a noncommittal response.We will have
0:11:04 > 0:11:07to think about how to respond to it but we take it seriously and
0:11:07 > 0:11:12continue to do so.Labour wanted to push home its advantage and call the
0:11:12 > 0:11:17Government to drop a specific date or leaving the EU from its
0:11:17 > 0:11:22legislation.Rather than repeat last night's debacle will the Government
0:11:22 > 0:11:28consider dropping the ill-conceived gimmick?David Davis simply said he
0:11:28 > 0:11:32would respect MPs' views. One of the Conservative rebels said she took no
0:11:32 > 0:11:36pleasure in defeating her own government but she might do it
0:11:36 > 0:11:42again.Nobody drank champagne, not on these benches. These are serious
0:11:42 > 0:11:48matters. It was avoidable.What did last night's vote in the House of
0:11:48 > 0:11:53Commons really mean? If MPs were to vote down any deal Theresa May bills
0:11:53 > 0:11:57with Brussels, technically she can go back and renegotiate or we can
0:11:57 > 0:12:01leave with no deal at all but in truth if the Prime Minister were to
0:12:01 > 0:12:06lose such a significant vote, it is highly likely she wouldn't remain
0:12:06 > 0:12:11Prime Minister for very long. Some say the rebels have undermined her
0:12:11 > 0:12:16in the short-term too.I think in the eyes of Brussels they will see
0:12:16 > 0:12:20there is a weakness there that they will try to exploit during
0:12:20 > 0:12:24negotiations.The fragile truce in the Conservative Party has now been
0:12:24 > 0:12:27shattered and rebels will hope Downing Street will think twice
0:12:27 > 0:12:31about sweeping aside their concerns over Brexit.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34In a moment we'll speak to our Assistant Political
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Editor Norman Smith, who is in Westminster, but first
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Adam Fleming is in Brussels.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44As far as EU leaders are concerned, how much will the defeat last night
0:12:44 > 0:12:51change things?Not actually a huge amount because the leaders of the 27
0:12:51 > 0:12:55EU countries staying in the EU know exactly the political situation
0:12:55 > 0:13:01Theresa May faces in London. Listen to the president of Lithuania, she
0:13:01 > 0:13:05said this would change nothing about the Brexit process. Although they
0:13:05 > 0:13:09are talking about it. The Prime Minister of Luxembourg said to me a
0:13:09 > 0:13:14little while ago that if the EU does a deal with Theresa May, she goes
0:13:14 > 0:13:18back to Westminster and Parliament tells her to come back to Brussels
0:13:18 > 0:13:22and change it, that would cause a problem and not be ideal. Brexit is
0:13:22 > 0:13:27not a big part of this summit, Theresa May wants to raise it over
0:13:27 > 0:13:30dinner tonight, then they will discuss it without her tomorrow
0:13:30 > 0:13:37morning, where the big event will be whether they approve the blueprint
0:13:37 > 0:13:39for the second phase of the negotiations, opening the way for a
0:13:39 > 0:13:43discussion about an implementation period of about two years starting
0:13:43 > 0:13:47in 2019 although they will probably say they don't want to talk about
0:13:47 > 0:13:52the shape of the future relationship and cooperation on trade, climate
0:13:52 > 0:13:56change and security until March next year. Donald Tusk who chairs the
0:13:56 > 0:14:02summit said actually if you thought phase one was easy, phase two might
0:14:02 > 0:14:03be even harder.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07Our assistant political editor Norman Smith is in Westminster.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10So Downing Street says business as usual, but does the defeat last
0:14:10 > 0:14:18night change Theresa May's approach to Brexit?The view from Number Ten
0:14:18 > 0:14:23is that this changes nothing when it comes to Brexit. A good number of
0:14:23 > 0:14:27MPs here think that is a rather optimistic assessment in the sense
0:14:27 > 0:14:33that last night may have been around one with more defeats to come,
0:14:33 > 0:14:37starting next week with a likely revolt over setting a fixed date for
0:14:37 > 0:14:42our departure, then the House of Lords are likely to put the Brexit
0:14:42 > 0:14:48bill through the mangle. But perhaps the most significant thing is the
0:14:48 > 0:14:52former remain as. They deny they were drinking champagne last night
0:14:52 > 0:14:56to celebrate but they are on a high, they have the wind in their sales,
0:14:56 > 0:15:01they have found their voice and they have chosen steel after months when
0:15:01 > 0:15:04they have not said boo to a goose. The question is whether the balance
0:15:04 > 0:15:10of power in Parliament has shifted from the Brexit true believers to
0:15:10 > 0:15:14the Brexit sceptics and whether that will curb Mrs May's freedom of
0:15:14 > 0:15:20manoeuvre and mean she has to look to a softer Brexit, keeping us
0:15:20 > 0:15:23closer to Europe. The other thing we saw last night was the sheer level
0:15:23 > 0:15:27of fear and loathing on Tory backbenchers, the division over
0:15:27 > 0:15:32Europe which will make it much harder for Mrs May to continue a
0:15:32 > 0:15:37balancing act, keeping both sides happy. Sooner or later she will have
0:15:37 > 0:15:43to throw in her luck with one side and then you sense her Brexit woes
0:15:43 > 0:15:47will really begin. Last night may yet prove to be a significant moment
0:15:47 > 0:15:52in the whole Brexit process.Norman, thank you.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56A third person has appeared in court charged with the murder of four
0:15:56 > 0:15:58children in a house fire in Salford.
0:15:58 > 0:16:0025-year-old David Worrall, of no fixed address,
0:16:00 > 0:16:01appeared before magistrates in Salford and Manchester.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04He will appear at Crown Court tomorrow alongside a 23-year-old man
0:16:04 > 0:16:07and a 20-year-old woman who have already been charged with murder.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09A deal has been reached that its hoped will prevent one
0:16:09 > 0:16:12of the UK's largest care home companies from going
0:16:12 > 0:16:13into administration.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Four Seasons Health Care, which runs more than 300
0:16:15 > 0:16:17residential and nursing homes caring for 17,000 people,
0:16:17 > 0:16:19has agreed a major restructuring plan with its main creditor,
0:16:19 > 0:16:23H/2 Capital Partners.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26The debt-ridden company had warned it wouldn't be able to make
0:16:26 > 0:16:33a £26 million interest payment due tomorrow.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38Our top story this lunchtime:
0:16:38 > 0:16:42A memorial services held at St Paul's Cathedral to remember the 71
0:16:42 > 0:16:46people who died in the Grenfell Tower fire six months ago today.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49And coming up - a sneak peak inside the new billion dollar US
0:16:49 > 0:16:50embassy building in London.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53And in Sport on BBC News, Dawid Malan's maiden test century
0:16:53 > 0:16:55helps England to a good start on the opening day of
0:16:55 > 0:17:09the crucial third Ashes Test against Australia in Perth.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Haemophilia - it's a condition that leads to excessive bleeding,
0:17:12 > 0:17:14even from minor injuries.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17It severely affects around 2000 people in the UK.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Now a team of doctors say they have achieved a significant breakthrough
0:17:20 > 0:17:23in the treatment of the most common form of the disease.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28The research team at Barts Health NHS Trust used gene therapy
0:17:28 > 0:17:31to correct the defect in a small safety trial.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Our health correspondent James Gallagher reports.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Walking two miles to work used to be unthinkable for Jake Omer.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42He was born with haemophilia A, a genetic defect that
0:17:42 > 0:17:45means his blood did not clot.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48The slightest injury used to mean severe bleeding.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Even a long stroll would cause bleeding in his joints.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53But no more.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55I think the gene therapy has hopefully given me
0:17:55 > 0:17:56a new lease of life.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00It's going to allow me, as my boys grow up, to be a lot
0:18:00 > 0:18:02more active with them, so kick footballs around,
0:18:02 > 0:18:05climb trees with them, to hopefully run around in the park
0:18:05 > 0:18:07with them, and not be someone who has to worry
0:18:07 > 0:18:09about what I'm doing.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Jake's body struggles to produce a protein for clotting of blood
0:18:12 > 0:18:14called factor eight.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17He was one of 13 patients given gene therapy last year.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19A virus was used to give his body new instructions
0:18:19 > 0:18:22for making factor eight.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25All of the trial patients are off their haemophilia medication,
0:18:25 > 0:18:30and 11 have roughly normal levels of blood-clotting proteins.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34If this is how much factor eight you or I produce, well,
0:18:34 > 0:18:37this is how much is produced in a haemophilia patient.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40But you can see after the gene therapy trial it's
0:18:40 > 0:18:42almost up to normal.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44This is huge.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46It's groundbreaking.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Because the option to think about normalising levels in patients
0:18:49 > 0:18:53with severe haemophilia is absolutely mind blowing.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56To offer people the potential of a normal life, when they've had
0:18:56 > 0:18:59to inject themselves with factor eight every other day to prevent
0:18:59 > 0:19:03bleeding is transformational.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05It's a really exciting time for people with haemophilia.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06This could be life changing.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10But we need to understand who it works for, we need to understand why
0:19:10 > 0:19:13it works for those people and why it might not work for some other
0:19:13 > 0:19:18people, and understand the long-term implications and side effects.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Large studies will now take place to see if gene therapy can replace

0:19:26 > 0:19:30James Gallagher, BBC News.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33It's cost $1 billion to build.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35The new United States embassy in London, which has
0:19:35 > 0:19:38just been completed, opens next month.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41It's a 12-storey glass cube on the banks of the Thames,
0:19:41 > 0:19:44and comes complete with a moat - the first new defensive moat to be
0:19:44 > 0:19:47built in England for 150 years.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50The US Ambassador to the UK said the new embassy is a "signal
0:19:50 > 0:19:53to the world" that the relationship between the two countries
0:19:53 > 0:19:55is strong, and going to grow.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59Richard Lister reports.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02This is what $1 billion looks like.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05The new US Embassy in London is said to be the most expensive
0:20:05 > 0:20:09in the world and almost a decade in the making.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Inside there's a garden of American desert flora.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15It's all designed to be airy and welcoming, not words usually
0:20:15 > 0:20:19associated with embassies.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21I think this is a country of great dignity and it
0:20:21 > 0:20:24birthed the United States.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28And this building should be not some pop icon,
0:20:28 > 0:20:34but certainly a building of great dignity and serenity.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37But this embassy is also a fortress.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40It even has a moat, though they prefer we call it a pond.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Some of the glass is six inches thick, a reminder that an embassy
0:20:43 > 0:20:48is the only place where one nation intersects with another.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51For decades that's been here, Grosvenor Square.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54The old embassy has been sold to become a hotel.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56But it's a place now associated with American
0:20:56 > 0:20:59triumphs and tragedies.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02ARCHIVE:At Grosvenor Square police warned to expect trouble waiting.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04It was where British people repeatedly protested
0:21:04 > 0:21:07against the Vietnam War.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11ARCHIVE:A huge crowd waited for them at the American embassy.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Where well-wishers greeted America's first men on the moon and came
0:21:14 > 0:21:19to pay their respects after the attacks of 9/11.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23Now a new building will represent America.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25The US Ambassador says this glass clad building represents
0:21:25 > 0:21:28America's global outlook, giving form, he says,
0:21:28 > 0:21:31to the core democratic values of transparency,
0:21:31 > 0:21:33openness and equality.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36What's not clear is whether President Trump will be
0:21:36 > 0:21:40at the opening next month, though he has been invited.
0:21:40 > 0:21:48It would be the most controversial visit by any American president,
0:21:48 > 0:21:50a moving in present for the ambassador.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Trump is coming when he sets the date for coming.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58He's been invited for a state visit.
0:21:58 > 0:22:07He's been invited and he's accepted but he hasn't set a date
0:22:07 > 0:22:10and for the ribbon-cutting of this and taking a look at the embassy,
0:22:10 > 0:22:12that will be announced when he selects the date.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14And of course the new embassy will outlive this presidency
0:22:14 > 0:22:16and many more to come.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Richard Lister, BBC News.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24The Scottish Government is expected to announce its major changes to tax
0:22:24 > 0:22:29bands since power was awarded to Holyrood last year. It is thought
0:22:29 > 0:22:32higher tax bands are likely to help raise funds for public services. It
0:22:32 > 0:22:36could mean some people in Scotland will pay more tax and those earning
0:22:36 > 0:22:41the same salary elsewhere in the UK. Catriona Renton reports.
0:22:41 > 0:22:47Free University tuition fees, free prescriptions, free personal care
0:22:47 > 0:22:51for the elderly and free childcare, just some of the services on offer
0:22:51 > 0:22:54to people in Scotland. But it now seems some Scottish taxpayers are
0:22:54 > 0:22:58going to pay more than people elsewhere in the UK. The SNP
0:22:58 > 0:23:02government at Holyrood is facing a shortfall in its day-to-day budget
0:23:02 > 0:23:05of hundreds of millions of pounds. The government has already pledged
0:23:05 > 0:23:10to increase spending on the NHS and has promised to lift the cap on
0:23:10 > 0:23:14public sector pay. Local councils in Scotland say they need more money to
0:23:14 > 0:23:19help provide services. To raise the extra cash, the Scottish Government
0:23:19 > 0:23:23is widely expected to increase income tax. They've pledged not to
0:23:23 > 0:23:28raise the basic level, so what is most likely is the introduction of a
0:23:28 > 0:23:33new band, perhaps for those earning more than £30,000 a year. Now most
0:23:33 > 0:23:38Scots won't be affected by this because the median salary here is
0:23:38 > 0:23:41£24,000 a year. But what it would mean is that some people will be
0:23:41 > 0:23:47paying more than others in other parts of the UK. They may also raise
0:23:47 > 0:23:50the top rate of tax for the very highest earners. Some business
0:23:50 > 0:23:53leaders are warning any increase in taxes could make Scotland
0:23:53 > 0:23:59uncompetitive. Speaking ahead of today's announcement, the First
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Minister said her government needs to invest in the future.The
0:24:02 > 0:24:06proposals we put forward this afternoon will be responsible they
0:24:06 > 0:24:10will be balanced, they will protect our vital public services from Tory
0:24:10 > 0:24:16cuts, they will protect the majority of taxpayers, and they will invest
0:24:16 > 0:24:22in business and the economy.The Conservatives are the only party
0:24:22 > 0:24:25opposed to tax rises. They say the SNP are breaking a promise not to
0:24:25 > 0:24:30raise the basic rate at all. In just under an hour's time we'll find out
0:24:30 > 0:24:34just how much more some will end up paying. Catriona Renton, BBC News,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Edinburgh.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Cricket now, and England have fought back on the first day of the vital
0:24:40 > 0:24:41third Test in Perth.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Dawid Malan scored his maiden test century, sharing an unbeaten
0:24:43 > 0:24:45partnership of 174 with Jonny Bairstow.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Australia are already 2-0 up in the series,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50and England need at least a draw to keep their Ashes hopes alive.
0:24:50 > 0:24:55Andy Swiss reports from Perth.
0:24:55 > 0:25:00It all comes as the sun newspaper has published more allegations about
0:25:00 > 0:25:02illegal gambling involving the Ashes. Andy Swiss reports from
0:25:02 > 0:25:09Perth. They've been waiting a long time for this. After watching
0:25:09 > 0:25:12collapses, calamities and controversies, at last for England
0:25:12 > 0:25:17fans a bit of cricketing cheer. Not that it necessarily seemed that way
0:25:17 > 0:25:21at first. England opted to bat will stop in Alastair Cook's case, not
0:25:21 > 0:25:27for long, out for just seven, as Australia's bowlers set about making
0:25:27 > 0:25:30life decidedly uncomfortable. They broke Mark Stoneman's helmet and
0:25:30 > 0:25:34soon it seems England's hopes. Stoneman gone controversially for
0:25:34 > 0:25:3956. The video umpire deciding at just brushed his gloves, to
0:25:39 > 0:25:44England's frustration. 131-4, it seemed another tale what if. But in
0:25:44 > 0:25:47the nick of time a century and emerged from the ranks. The
0:25:47 > 0:25:54unheralded Dawid Malan. Yes, he rode his luck, dropped on 92, but
0:25:54 > 0:25:58together with Jonny Bairstow he made Australia pay. What a time to score
0:25:58 > 0:26:04your first test hundred. If the day belonged to England, the moment was
0:26:04 > 0:26:09all of his.Magnificent effort.It was so emotional. I didn't really
0:26:09 > 0:26:13know what to do and when I got the hundred I was so emotional I almost
0:26:13 > 0:26:17started crying, to be honest, when it happened.Just when they needed
0:26:17 > 0:26:22it, England's best day of the series so far. There's still a long way to
0:26:22 > 0:26:28go in this match, but they've given themselves a chance. In a series so
0:26:28 > 0:26:31far defined by disappointment, England will hope this just might be
0:26:31 > 0:26:34a turning point. Andy Swiss, BBC News, Perth.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Now to a family mystery which has taken one man more
0:26:37 > 0:26:38than 70 years to solve.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42In 1943, a box was abandoned on the steps of the BBC in London.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44It was found by a studio manager called Trevor Hill,
0:26:44 > 0:26:46who at first thought it was a bomb.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51But the box actually contained a baby - Robin Peters.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Now 74, he says he's spent most of his life wondering
0:26:54 > 0:26:57who abandoned him, and why.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00But thanks to DNA, and some dogged detective work by his daughter,
0:27:00 > 0:27:03he finally has some answers.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06And he's been reunited with the man who found him all those years ago,
0:27:06 > 0:27:08as Steve Knibbs reports.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Amazing, incredible.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11You're the baby!
0:27:11 > 0:27:14A reunion, 74 years apart, as Trevor Hill meets the contents
0:27:14 > 0:27:19of the box he discovered outside the BBC in 1943.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22That today is 74-year-old Robin King.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27You wouldn't fit into that little box now.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30In 1943 BBC Broadcasting House had been bombed, so the overseas service
0:27:30 > 0:27:35was set up in the Peter Robinson department store on Oxford Street,
0:27:35 > 0:27:40and one morning, as Trevor turned up for work, he found a box outside.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42So you were wrapped in the blanket inside the box.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Did you worry it might be a bomb or something?
0:27:45 > 0:27:49Well, exactly, we were pretty sure it was.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53And particularly when it moved slightly, we thought there a timer.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56It's lucky I wasn't blown up.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Thankfully it was just Robin in the box and aged just two weeks
0:27:59 > 0:28:01he became a foundling.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03He was named Robin Peters, after the department
0:28:03 > 0:28:05store where he was found, and eventually adopted
0:28:05 > 0:28:08at the age of four.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10And these are my biological parents.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12After decades of searching, last year Robin's daughter
0:28:12 > 0:28:15traced his biological parents to Canada with the help
0:28:15 > 0:28:17of a DNA expert.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20They were Douglas and Agnes Jones.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23He was in the Royal Canadian Air Force, working at a radio training
0:28:23 > 0:28:25school in South Kensington.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28He met and married Agnes in Glasgow.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31It's a bit of a mystery because it seems very difficult for him
0:28:31 > 0:28:36or my mother to actually leave a box in that position at that particular
0:28:36 > 0:28:39time during the war, when there was a lot of security
0:28:39 > 0:28:45worries, so that doesn't make sense to me.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48At least today, a few more pieces of Robin's early life
0:28:48 > 0:28:50have been filled in.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52It's just been completely for me a magical day,
0:28:52 > 0:28:59a day that I never thought would exist, and I never,
0:28:59 > 0:29:07ever imagined that I would get to meet the contents of that box.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10He's still desperate to know why he was left outside the BBC in 1943,
0:29:10 > 0:29:14but grateful of course to have been found by Trevor.
0:29:14 > 0:29:19Steve Knibbs, BBC News.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Let's go back to our main story now.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Six months to the day since the Grenfell Tower fire
0:29:23 > 0:29:27which killed 71 people, a multi-faith memorial service has
0:29:27 > 0:29:30been held at St Paul's Cathedral to remember those who died.
0:29:30 > 0:29:40Reeta Chakrabati is there.
0:29:40 > 0:29:45I'm joined by two men who have been helping people trying to support
0:29:45 > 0:29:50them through the trauma of this time, Alan Everett, who is from
0:29:50 > 0:29:57Saint Clements Church, near Grenfell Tower, and also this man from the
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Muslim cultural centre. Allen, tell me about the sort of support people
0:30:00 > 0:30:07have been needing from you?People are still deeply in trauma and so
0:30:07 > 0:30:10our community, our sister community organisation, the Clement James
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Centre, has been working with a large number of survivors and the
0:30:12 > 0:30:16bereaved and that's in addition to the very wide raging community
0:30:16 > 0:30:22programmes which they already offer, so we've very extensive connections
0:30:22 > 0:30:24-- extensive connections with the community and many have been coming
0:30:24 > 0:30:31in looking for all kinds of support from us.The service today was very
0:30:31 > 0:30:38much a multi-faith service. Our important was that?I think it was
0:30:38 > 0:30:43very important. Somebody asked me how I would sum it up and I said in
0:30:43 > 0:30:48one word, hope. For people to come together and pray and reach out to
0:30:48 > 0:30:54God for the love of God, I said it's very important, to express your love
0:30:54 > 0:30:57for people, for your neighbours and things like that. I think it just
0:30:57 > 0:31:04came across abundantly very well and I felt part of it. I was in
0:31:04 > 0:31:07Christian service, as a Muslim and I felt a connection with God in the
0:31:07 > 0:31:11way that I didn't expect, quite frankly and I'm really pleased to
0:31:11 > 0:31:19say that.Thank you both very much indeed. There you heard it I think,
0:31:19 > 0:31:23that this service was meant to provide comfort and solace to people
0:31:23 > 0:31:27of all faiths and people of non-, and with that, back to you. Thank
0:31:27 > 0:31:28you.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32Time for a look at the weather.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Darren Bett is here to tell us all. More snow?
0:31:40 > 0:31:44It has been cold in southern parts of Scotland, where we've had sleet
0:31:44 > 0:31:49and snow, especially over the hills, but it's an all or nothing sort of
0:31:49 > 0:31:52day because large parts are enjoying some sunshine. Kent, for example,
0:31:52 > 0:31:56and here in the south-east, much of the south-east, East Anglia and the
0:31:56 > 0:32:00Midlands, staying dry with some sunshine this afternoon. A lot of
0:32:00 > 0:32:04showers elsewhere. That wintry mix has been affecting southern Scotland
0:32:04 > 0:32:09is heading southwards into northern England as -- and as we head into
0:32:09 > 0:32:13this evening will find behind that the temperatures dropping away in
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Scotland, a frost already for eastern parts of the country. More
0:32:15 > 0:32:19wintry showers in western areas, more showers for Northern Ireland,
0:32:19 > 0:32:23where it's also very windy. That mixture of rain, sleet and primarily
0:32:23 > 0:32:26held snow will be pushing across northern England, perhaps into
0:32:26 > 0:32:30Wales, a few heavy and blustery showers across South Wales and into
0:32:30 > 0:32:32the south-west of England, but through this evening still largely
0:32:32 > 0:32:41dry. Still quite cold for many eastern parts of the UK. As we run
0:32:41 > 0:32:44through this evening and overnight, what we find is that it stays windy
0:32:44 > 0:32:47for western areas. We will find these bands of rain, sleet and
0:32:47 > 0:32:51mainly hill slope continuing to push southwards as skies tend to clear
0:32:51 > 0:32:54further north we could have some icy stretches, with temperatures not far
0:32:54 > 0:32:59away from freezing. Tomorrow, a mixture of sunshine and showers but
0:32:59 > 0:33:03by this stage we have a northerly wind so the showers are in different
0:33:03 > 0:33:06places. More wintry showers and cloud for the eastern side of
0:33:06 > 0:33:10England. Further west, it will be much drier and much more sunshine.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14Wintry showers will continue in northern Scotland, Central Scotland
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Scotland probably dry and sunny and large part inland across England and
0:33:17 > 0:33:20while is missing the showers, seeing some sunny spells. Temperatures
0:33:20 > 0:33:23similar to today but feeling chilly in the northerly wind. Tomorrow
0:33:23 > 0:33:27night as the wind eases and the showers begin to fade away, so the
0:33:27 > 0:33:30temperatures will fall away sharply. There could be quite a sharp frost
0:33:30 > 0:33:35for many central and northern areas. We've got the cold air to start the
0:33:35 > 0:33:39weekend but things are going to change, because the wind direction
0:33:39 > 0:33:43changes. A milder west to south-westerly wind coming in, but
0:33:43 > 0:33:46those changes don't happen overnight and it still going to be quite
0:33:46 > 0:33:50chilly for the eastern side of the UK on Saturday, despite some bright
0:33:50 > 0:33:53weather and sunshine. There's more cloud coming in from the West. A
0:33:53 > 0:33:57little bit of rain here and there as well. It could be quite cold for
0:33:57 > 0:34:00eastern areas overnight before we all get into the milder air. It
0:34:00 > 0:34:03comes with some stronger winds, a lot of cloud and
