Tonight at Six - Scotland's First minister postpones her plans

:00:00.:00:07.

For a second independence referendum.

:00:08.:00:12.

Nicola Sturgeon's SNP lost 21 seats in the general election -

:00:13.:00:14.

The Scottish Government will reset the plan I set

:00:15.:00:22.

We will not seek to introduce the legislation

:00:23.:00:28.

for an independence referendum immediately.

:00:29.:00:33.

Opponents argue that the SNP's obsession with independence has

:00:34.:00:36.

She appears to be in denial about her mistakes

:00:37.:00:41.

And, as a result, is leaking credibility and confidence

:00:42.:00:45.

We'll be asking where this leaves the drive

Now it's nearly 100 tower blocks that fail fire tests -

Google faces a record fine from the EU competition watchdog,

over ?2 billion, for being unfair to other companies.

record-breaking total of 377 in their World Cup

:01:31.:01:32.

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:33.:02:01.

Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has had to backtrack

:02:02.:02:04.

on her plans to push for a second independence referendum

:02:05.:02:06.

Today's decision follows the general election in which her SNP

:02:07.:02:14.

Ruth Davidson, the leader of the Scottish Conservatives,

:02:15.:02:17.

said Ms Sturgeon was - as she put it - "leaking

:02:18.:02:19.

Here's our Scotland editor Sarah Smith.

:02:20.:02:28.

Nicola Sturgeon may not look like a woman thwarted. But she cannot now

:02:29.:02:34.

march ahead with her plans for an independence referendum, admitting

:02:35.:02:38.

today that voters have rejected that idea and she has had to think again.

:02:39.:02:43.

Having listened and reflected, the Scottish Government will reset the

:02:44.:02:48.

plan that I set out on March the 13th. We will not seek to introduce

:02:49.:02:52.

the legislation for an independence referendum immediately. Instead, we

:02:53.:03:00.

will, in good faith, redouble our efforts and put our shoulder to the

:03:01.:03:04.

wheel in seeking to influence the Brexit talks in a way that protect

:03:05.:03:10.

Scotland's interests. She wants to keep open the option of a referendum

:03:11.:03:13.

after the Brexit deal is cleared. The Tories want her to abandon her

:03:14.:03:18.

plans completely. I'm afraid to say that that statement will fail to

:03:19.:03:22.

give any assurance to those people that this First Minister is

:03:23.:03:25.

listening to them. Instead, she appears to be in denial about her

:03:26.:03:29.

mistakes about this over the past year and, as a result, is leaking

:03:30.:03:32.

credibility and confidence in her leadership by the hour. Nicola

:03:33.:03:36.

Sturgeon's message today is that she is listening to voters and she

:03:37.:03:40.

understands they don't want another independence referendum any time

:03:41.:03:44.

soon. But she has not taken it completely off the table and she

:03:45.:03:47.

says that she will continue to argue the case for why Scotland should be

:03:48.:03:54.

an independent country. Yes! In 2014, 40 5% of Scots voted yes to

:03:55.:04:00.

independence. Support remains much the same today. The SNP know that

:04:01.:04:04.

they'll have to make a fresh case if they are ever to win an independence

:04:05.:04:07.

referendum. And they will have to pick their timing of another vote

:04:08.:04:15.

carefully. Well, it is common sense, I think another referendum would be

:04:16.:04:19.

a disaster for Scotland. I am an SNP supporter, but I think it would make

:04:20.:04:26.

no sense, given the current political climate, it makes no sense

:04:27.:04:30.

for the SNP to move forward with a vote on it just now. I think we

:04:31.:04:34.

should have a vote on it, put it to the public and let them have a vote

:04:35.:04:39.

on it. The Scottish Greens back to the SNP call for an early referendum

:04:40.:04:44.

and do not want to see the timetable slip. If we wait until autumn next

:04:45.:04:48.

year or even later, we will be well out of the European Union before the

:04:49.:04:51.

people of Scotland have the chance to say whether they consent to that.

:04:52.:04:56.

Scotland has not consented to leave the European Union or to have our

:04:57.:04:59.

rights and protections as European citizens torn up without our

:05:00.:05:04.

consent. Hollywood today heard Nicola Sturgeon says she was

:05:05.:05:07.

responding to voters that do not want an independence vote, but also

:05:08.:05:12.

that she has not given up the fight. Hear opponents say she is not

:05:13.:05:15.

listening. Her party hope there is no more than a rain check, just a

:05:16.:05:17.

temporary delay. Has Nicola Sturgeon performed a

:05:18.:05:25.

U-turn? She has abandoned a clear timetable she set out for Scotland

:05:26.:05:29.

to have a vote on independence before the UK leaves the EU in March

:05:30.:05:34.

2019. But she has not completely abandoned the idea of a referendum.

:05:35.:05:42.

That is why she is facing people who say she is in denial. But the SNP

:05:43.:05:45.

did not want to take the referendum of the table. They think that once

:05:46.:05:51.

the terms of leaving the European Union are clear, they believe that

:05:52.:05:53.

support for a referendum will grow. Another day and another rise

:05:54.:05:56.

in the number of tower blocks around the country that have failed

:05:57.:05:59.

fire tests - it's now 95 buildings in more than 30

:06:00.:06:02.

councils in England. The Government has appointed a panel

:06:03.:06:06.

of experts to give advice on the immediate changes that can be

editor, Mark Easton. The Grenfell Tower fire is turning

:06:12.:06:20.

from sickening tragedy international scandal. The blaze appears to be

:06:21.:06:24.

exposing hidden risks and confusion over fire safety that stretches

:06:25.:06:31.

across the country. Every sample of cladding from 95 tower blocks,

:06:32.:06:35.

across 32 English local authorities, has now failed government tests,

:06:36.:06:39.

although the Communities Department, Who Ordered The Testing, Has Named

:06:40.:06:43.

Only 20 Councils. The Prime Minister Says There Needs To Be A Major

:06:44.:06:51.

National Investigation. What we have seen in tower blocks across the

:06:52.:06:54.

country is that we have so far seen 100% of the materials being

:06:55.:07:00.

combustible. Something is clearly gone wrong over a number of years

:07:01.:07:05.

and we need to find out what, why and how to make sure it doesn't

:07:06.:07:08.

happen again. But there are questions about the testing process.

:07:09.:07:12.

Cladding from this block in Norwich failed the Government test last

:07:13.:07:16.

week. I am struggling to understand how it failed... But the housing

:07:17.:07:20.

association which owns it says the cladding past the fire test when it

:07:21.:07:24.

was installed. The certificate describes the panels as low risk,

:07:25.:07:28.

class zero. But the government now says they are class three, so

:07:29.:07:31.

dangerous they must be removed immediately. How come the test on

:07:32.:07:39.

Friday moved from class 02 plus three? We can only presume what they

:07:40.:07:42.

did in the test, because we haven't been told yet. All we have had is a

:07:43.:07:46.

telephone call on Friday evening saying the product have failed the

:07:47.:07:49.

test, and what were we going to do about it? The BBC has learned that

:07:50.:07:55.

only weeks before the tragedy, the Fire Service warned every London

:07:56.:07:58.

council that tower block cladding might be much more dangerous than

:07:59.:08:05.

realised if it had a flammable core. A new panel of fire and building

:08:06.:08:09.

safety expert is now advising the Government on immediate steps to

:08:10.:08:13.

take. Peter Bonfield is one of those experts, who also heads the Building

:08:14.:08:18.

Research Establishment conducting the cladding tests for ministers.

:08:19.:08:22.

The Government want to be able to screen and inform local authorities,

:08:23.:08:27.

housing associations and private landlords around the country, to

:08:28.:08:30.

inform them about whether or not they have this system on the

:08:31.:08:33.

outside. It doesn't mean the building is unsafe. But it is a

:08:34.:08:40.

helpful information that then stimulates inspections and other

:08:41.:08:42.

things that will help determine the risk or otherwise to the building.

:08:43.:08:49.

Many questions remain, however. As the combustibility test been

:08:50.:08:52.

changed? Traditional testing for product certification checks the

:08:53.:08:57.

cladding panel has a whole. At the government test focuses specifically

:08:58.:09:00.

on the core material inside it. Why test just aluminium cladding? There

:09:01.:09:06.

are other kinds of cladding. What about insulation and firebreaks in

:09:07.:09:11.

the cavity behind it? It seems odd to look at just one part of the

:09:12.:09:15.

tower block's fire safety. And what about the building as a whole?

:09:16.:09:19.

Official regulations may allow some combustible elements if the tower

:09:20.:09:23.

block's whole design system is deemed fire resistant enough.

:09:24.:09:27.

Residents in some private tower blocks, like these in Newcastle,

:09:28.:09:30.

want tests on their homes. The Mayor of London fears some hospital

buildings by not be safe enough. From this charred skeleton, a toxic

cloud of uncertainty and anxiety has drifted across the country. Mark

Easton, BBC News. The governor of the Bank of England

with notable increases across credit cards,

debt problem? The amount consumers have borrowed

in loans on things like credit cards has risen

to ?198 billion. That is up 10% compared

:12:51.:12:51.

Walsh is with me now. A really sad case. What happens now?

:12:52.:13:08.

This is the end of the road, legally. It means at some point,

:13:09.:13:13.

possibly in the next couple of days, the medical team at Great Ormond

:13:14.:13:15.

Street Hospital will switch off the mechanical ventilator which keeps

:13:16.:13:20.

Charlie alive. They will give him palliative care and he will be

:13:21.:13:25.

allowed to die. That will not happen until his parents have had some time

:13:26.:13:29.

to be with him. It is what all of the doctors, all of the medical team

:13:30.:13:36.

at great Ormond Street have wanted for months, and what every judge in

:13:37.:13:41.

the UK says should happen, and what all of the independent experts have

:13:42.:13:47.

said, including a Guardian appointed to represent Charlie. A lot of

:13:48.:13:50.

people will be saying to give them one more chance? I realise that,

:13:51.:13:56.

what an 80,000 people raised ?1.3 million in crowdfunding for this

experimental treatment in the United States. Charlie is desperately ill,

:14:01.:14:05.

terminally ill. He cannot move, he cannot swallow. He has severe brain

:14:06.:14:11.

damage. The European Court backed UK judges, who they said were

:14:12.:14:14.

meticulous and thorough, that exposing him to treatment which

:14:15.:14:18.

could not help him was futile and would simply expose him to continued

:14:19.:14:23.

suffering and distress, and so he should be allowed to die with

:14:24.:14:24.

dignity. Thank you very much. Politicians in Northern Ireland

:14:25.:14:32.

are locked in intense talks about forming a new

The US technology giant Google has been fined more than ?2 billion

:14:52.:14:54.

by the European Commission for breaking competition laws.

:14:55.:14:58.

It ruled that the company had abused its dominance as a search

:14:59.:15:01.

engine by promoting its own shopping comparison service.

:15:02.:15:03.

The company says it is considering an appeal.

:15:04.:15:06.

Our technology correspondent Rory Cellan Jones reports.

:15:07.:15:14.

It's the giant which dominates online search and now it's been hit

:15:15.:15:22.

with a record fine. Over ?2 billion. Rivals claimed that Google had

:15:23.:15:28.

trampled on their business. The fine was imposed by Europe's competition

technology firms. Google has abused its market dominance as a search

:15:39.:15:43.

engine giving illegal advantages to other Google products. Its shopping

:15:44.:15:49.

comparison service. The charges that it uses search engine might to

:15:50.:15:56.

favour its own shopping services. Let's put toaster into the box.

:15:57.:16:00.

Right at the top appears the Google box with a series of adverts. If I

:16:01.:16:06.

click on these, Google earns money. What you are not seeing, way down,

:16:07.:16:11.

out of sight, a rival price comparison sites. They are not

:16:12.:16:15.

getting the clicks and not earning the money. One of those rivals says

:16:16.:16:21.

that today's fine is good news for shoppers. Without competition,

:16:22.:16:25.

Google can charge merchants what they like for advertising. With

:16:26.:16:31.

competition, you end up with lots of companies competing on prices which

:16:32.:16:37.

brings the price down. Google says big rivals like Amazon provide

:16:38.:16:40.

plenty of competition when it comes to choosing products and Brussels

:16:41.:16:45.

doesn't understand the modern consumer. The search firm said...

:16:46.:16:58.

Get your products on Google, other sites... There is concern at what

:16:59.:17:12.

firms see as interference. They say consumers won't benefit. If you are

:17:13.:17:22.

so big, be careful about innovating because you could bring down the

:17:23.:17:26.

raft of the European Commission. Why do you want to risk that? For more

:17:27.:17:32.

than a decade, the European Commission has been taking on

:17:33.:17:36.

technology giants and today it makes clear that its battle against what

:17:37.:17:39.

it sees as an fair competition will continue.

:17:40.:17:41.

Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has backtracked on her

:17:42.:17:53.

plans to push for a second independence referendum as early as

:17:54.:17:54.

next year. And the flight of a lifetime for one

:17:55.:18:05.

of Germany's most decorated Second World War pilots.

:18:06.:18:07.

plenty of tries but the British and Ireland Lions blow a 14-point lead

The bullying of pupils for being gay, lesbian

:18:20.:18:23.

or transgender in secondary schools in Britain needs to be urgently

:18:24.:18:26.

They say although the number of incidents has fallen

:18:27.:18:31.

A study by the University of Cambridge - which was commissioned

:18:32.:18:37.

by the gay rights charity, Stonewall - says almost half of gay

:18:38.:18:40.

pupils who were questioned said they were bullied.

:18:41.:18:42.

More than 60% had self harmed and about one in five had tried

So, someone who is sexually attracted to all the sexes,

Giving them the facts - not advice - to understand themselves and others.

Getting rid of the prejudice that leads to bullying.

:19:05.:19:09.

If we can create a culture that has a strong empathy towards others then

:19:10.:19:17.

we can challenge the attitudes that people might have and by overcoming

:19:18.:19:23.

any prejudice that way, that can also prevent any homophobic comments

:19:24.:19:31.

in the school. From cracking down on bullying to hearing talks from

:19:32.:19:35.

trans-pupils, this Somerset school is building tolerance. Nobody is

:19:36.:19:46.

superior to another person. You can't... Diversity has no limits.

Some of these pupils are anti-bullying mentors supporting

:19:58.:20:02.

we were treated like any other couple in the school. That's a

In the last few hours, multi-national companies around

:21:16.:21:18.

the world say they've been hit by a major cyber attack.

:21:19.:21:21.

It began in Ukraine and Russia, before spreading to countries

:21:22.:21:25.

including France, Denmark, and the UK.

:21:26.:21:27.

Our Security Correspondent, Gordon Corera, is here,

:21:28.:21:30.

what do we know about this current attack?

:21:31.:21:36.

Initially the first reports came out of Ukraine and it looked quite

:21:37.:21:43.

serious there with airports, the bank, the Metro head. It looked

:21:44.:21:48.

quite localised. Then reports of it spreading started to appear. We

:21:49.:21:53.

heard about a Russian oil reducer being hit. We hurt about -- heard

:21:54.:22:00.

about the port of Rotterdam being hit and an advertising firm in

:22:01.:22:05.

London. Clearly it is spreading. What users are faced with when they

:22:06.:22:10.

open them is a screen saying they have been locked out and they need

:22:11.:22:18.

to pay a ransom to be let back into their computers. It is similar to

:22:19.:22:23.

the ransomware that hit the NHS last month. It seems to be spreading

:22:24.:22:34.

pretty fast but the NHS says they have no sign so far of NHS trusts

:22:35.:22:39.

being affected. It's a question of waiting and watching to see how far

:22:40.:22:43.

this has spread and what disruption it causes.

:22:44.:22:47.

The treatment of more than seventeen hundred NHS patients in England may

:22:48.:22:53.

have been put at risk by what's been described as a "colossal"

:22:54.:22:56.

The National Audit Office has found that over five years hundreds

:22:57.:23:00.

of thousands of documents - including cancer diagnoses

:23:01.:23:01.

and other test results - were left to pile up in a warehouse

:23:02.:23:05.

instead of being sent to hospitals or GPs.

:23:06.:23:06.

Here's our health editor Hugh Pym with the story.

:23:07.:23:09.

They were important letters from hospitals to GPs with test

:23:10.:23:12.

But they piled up in a warehouse and hundreds, possibly thousands

:23:13.:23:18.

For something like this to happen on such a scale,

:23:19.:23:26.

and to be so prolonged, is completely unacceptable.

:23:27.:23:30.

In January 2014, the company handling the letters became aware

:23:31.:23:34.

of a risk to patients, but didn't reveal it.

:23:35.:23:38.

In August 2015, a member of staff raised concerns some records

:23:39.:23:41.

In March 2016, the company finally informed NHS England

:23:42.:23:47.

and the Department of Health - but neither Parliament or the public

:23:48.:23:50.

We are shocked on behalf of patients, that such

:23:51.:23:56.

And, to add to that, the lack of transparency

:23:57.:24:02.

Doctors are going through them to check whether patient

:24:03.:24:12.

A Department of Health spokesperson said no cases of harm to patients

:24:13.:24:19.

had been identified so far and that work was continuing with NHS England

:24:20.:24:23.

to ensure this didn't happen again, with officials mindful

:24:24.:24:28.

In the Commons, the Health Secretary said mistakes couldn't

:24:29.:24:32.

What we can do is make sure we react quickly when that happens,

:24:33.:24:37.

which happened on this occasion, but we can also make sure

:24:38.:24:40.

that we have better assurance than we had on this occasion.

:24:41.:24:43.

And I can assure the House that the appropriate

:24:44.:24:45.

But Labour said it was a shambolic catalogue of failure.

:24:46.:24:49.

One of Germany's most highly decorated Second World War pilots

:24:50.:24:56.

has achieved a long held ambition - to fly in a Spitfire.

:24:57.:25:04.

95-year-old Hugo Broch took to the skies over Kent,

:25:05.:25:06.

where the RAF held the line during the Battle of Britain.

:25:07.:25:09.

Robert Hall has been talking to him.

:25:10.:25:11.

heralding the meeting of a great machine with a great pilot.

:25:12.:25:18.

During his career, mostly on the Russian Front,

:25:19.:25:22.

Hugo Broch was credited with 81 victories in 324 missions.

:25:23.:25:39.

Every German squadron had heard of the Spitfire,

:25:40.:25:43.

Herr Broch had waited most of his life to fly in one.

:25:44.:25:46.

TRANSLATION: The Spitfire was greatly respected.

:25:47.:25:47.

With these machines you have a great chance of feeling free

:25:48.:25:50.

And I expect to get that feeling again today.

:25:51.:25:54.

The Spitfire gained its iconic status during the summer of 1940

:25:55.:25:57.

when the RAF fought to hold off an invasion.

:25:58.:26:05.

There is still debate whether whether the planes or the pilots won

:26:06.:26:08.

As his ground crew hurried to scramble this Spitfire

:26:09.:26:11.

ahead of the approaching rain clouds, Herr Broch clearly

:26:12.:26:13.

The flight was captured by documentary cameras so we can share

:26:14.:26:21.

Herr Broch's delight as he soared above the Kent Hills.

:26:22.:26:23.

He declined an offer to take the controls,

:26:24.:26:25.

saying that in this case he was just a back-seat driver.

:26:26.:26:28.

TRANSLATION: The Spitfire is an excellent aircraft and I had an

:26:29.:26:39.

I remember how fantastic it is to be able to fly.

:26:40.:26:44.

On one question, Herr Broch was adamant.

:26:45.:26:48.

The aircraft he flew all those years ago were still the best.

:26:49.:26:51.

A bit of a shock to the system, this rain. A bit like summer came to the

:26:52.:27:10.

abrupt end and autumn is knocking on the door. At a warning if you're

:27:11.:27:18.

travelling across south-eastern areas. There will be spray on the

:27:19.:27:23.

roads, miserable conditions at times. You can see this lump of rain

:27:24.:27:29.

heading towards the south-east, it's already brought quite a bit of rain

:27:30.:27:32.

to the coast and there is more to come. That needs to barrel through

:27:33.:27:39.

to the south-east of East Anglia. Earlier, the heavy rain in the North

:27:40.:27:45.

has fizzled out. The wet weather will be across central and eastern

:27:46.:27:50.

areas tonight. By five o'clock in the morning, still pretty warm in

:27:51.:27:55.

the south. 16 degrees in the south. A lot fresher further north at 11.

:27:56.:28:00.

This low pressure is here to stay all week but not raining every

:28:01.:28:06.

single day. There are various areas of rain travelling and moving to

:28:07.:28:11.

different parts of the country. Tomorrow, this area is moving

:28:12.:28:15.

northwards and westwards so it will be stuck across this central swathe

:28:16.:28:19.

of the UK from Lincolnshire to the north-east. In the South tomorrow,

:28:20.:28:25.

it is going to be a better day and it's also going to be a better day

:28:26.:28:30.

across Scotland. The bit in the middle will have worse weather. That

:28:31.:28:37.

rain quite heavy at times. Then the rain moves back into Scotland on

:28:38.:28:42.

Thursday. From Aberdeen to Edinburgh, some rain. It could

:28:43.:28:46.

improve a little bit by Thursday in the south-east. The south-east

:28:47.:28:53.

experiencing the worst day today and this evening. The outlook is looking

:28:54.:28:57.

drier and brighter. Strongly suggesting that it is not looking

:28:58.:29:02.

ideal this weekend. Thanks very much.

:29:03.:29:03.

Nicola Sturgeon has had to backtrack on her plans to push for a second

:29:04.:29:14.

independence referendum as early as next year. That's all from the BBC

:29:15.:29:22.

News at six. So it's goodbye from

:29:23.:29:23.
