:00:00. > :00:00.Tonight at Six, a retired judge will lead the inquiry
:00:00. > :00:09.into what happened at Grenfell Tower.
:00:10. > :00:11.Sir Martin Moore-Bick met local residents today -
:00:12. > :00:16.and he's told them what he's been asked to look at.
:00:17. > :00:21.I've been asked to undertake this inquiry on the basis that it
:00:22. > :00:24.would be pretty well limited to the problems surrounding
:00:25. > :00:26.the start of the fire and its rapid development.
:00:27. > :00:30.But those who still live in the shadow of the disaster
:00:31. > :00:34.want him to go further - why were their warnings ignored?
:00:35. > :00:38.Whether he will get to the bottom of who was responsible for causing
:00:39. > :00:40.the fire in the first place is a different matter,
:00:41. > :00:44.and that's the one that's really concerning residents at present.
:00:45. > :00:47.We'll be asking if this judge is the right person for the inquiry.
:00:48. > :00:51.On the day of the vote on the Queen's speech,
:00:52. > :00:55.a surprise decision on abortion for women in Northern Ireland.
:00:56. > :00:58.Australian police charge Cardinal George Pell
:00:59. > :01:00.with historical sex crimes - the highest ranking clergyman

:01:17. > :01:20.who turned his fields into an art gallery.
:01:21. > :01:23.And coming up in Sportsday on BBC News, concerns grow over the fitness
:01:24. > :01:25.of Andy Murray ahead of his Wimbledon title defence,
:01:26. > :01:50.as the world number one pulls out of an exhibition match tomorrow.
:01:51. > :01:53.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.
:01:54. > :01:56.It's only a few hours since Theresa May named the judge
:01:57. > :02:00.who will chair the Grenfell Tower inquiry, and
:02:01. > :02:03.already Sir Martin Moore-Bick is facing questions
:02:04. > :02:07.about whether his brief is wide-ranging enough.
:02:08. > :02:10.Sir Martin promised "a vigorous inquiry" into what caused the fire,
:02:11. > :02:13.and how it spread so quickly, with such fatal consequences.
:02:14. > :02:17.But many local residents, some of whom met the judge this
:02:18. > :02:20.afternoon, say they want to know who should be held
:02:21. > :02:29.Our Home Affairs Correspondent, Tom Symonds, reports.
:02:30. > :02:34.Away from the debate about the number of deaths and the risk from
:02:35. > :02:40.cladding, dozens of families are morning. Relatives of Tony Disson
:02:41. > :02:46.led him to rest today, close to the tower. And this is the man facing
:02:47. > :02:52.the task of explaining their deaths. Facing the cameras for the first
:02:53. > :02:55.time. I had never seen anything like that building, which is now
:02:56. > :02:58.completely gutted so you can see through it in many places. I am
:02:59. > :03:05.absolutely determined that this enquiry will be open and full, and
:03:06. > :03:08.will cover all the ground so that we reach conclusions that are reliable
:03:09. > :03:14.and can prevent anything like this happening again. He spent several
:03:15. > :03:19.hours listening to the views of survivors and local people. But
:03:20. > :03:26.already he and they appear to have different views. He may certainly
:03:27. > :03:31.get to the bottom of what caused the fire to spread so quickly. Whether
:03:32. > :03:34.he will get to the bottom of who is responsible for causing the fire in
:03:35. > :03:39.the first place is a different matter, and that is the one
:03:40. > :03:44.concerning residents. We want a wider enquiry, one that will include
:03:45. > :03:48.the issues that were raised before. So basically, the attitudes towards
:03:49. > :03:52.people. We want to make sure that people would be listened to, that
:03:53. > :03:57.our voices will not be ignored. That is the priority. There is a feeling
:03:58. > :03:59.around the tower that he should examine whether warnings about fire
:04:00. > :04:05.safety were ignored because the community had no voice. Whether my
:04:06. > :04:09.enquiry is the right way in which to achieve that, I am more doubtful.
:04:10. > :04:12.And I will give that some thought and in due course make a
:04:13. > :04:18.recommendation. But there may be other ways in which that desire for
:04:19. > :04:23.investigation can be satisfied. So you may not be able to give them the
:04:24. > :04:29.wide enquiry they appear to be looking for a? Maybe not. People are
:04:30. > :04:33.desperate for answers here. The Prime Minister would like an interim
:04:34. > :04:37.report within months. Today the judge said that could include
:04:38. > :04:41.details of how the fire started, why it spread so fast and the response.
:04:42. > :04:48.But he said even that could take a up to a year. After all, the remit
:04:49. > :04:52.of the enquiry still has to be decided by the government. The cause
:04:53. > :04:55.of the fire will clearly be a court topic. But the Prime Minister has
:04:56. > :05:01.also talked about examining the wider issue of fire block safety,
:05:02. > :05:07.and the pressure for a deeper look at political and social causes is
:05:08. > :05:11.unlikely to go away. The chairman, Sir Martin Moore-Bick, was born in
:05:12. > :05:14.Wales and went to Christ Church College Cambridge before becoming a
:05:15. > :05:25.barrister. He was appointed to the High Court in 95 -- 1995, and to the
:05:26. > :05:29.Court of appeal in 2005. They are commonly rejected a family's the
:05:30. > :05:35.dilettantes to prevent Westminster Council from moving them out of
:05:36. > :05:38.London. The Supreme Court overruled. He was labelled a controversial
:05:39. > :05:42.choice for the Grenfell Tower enquiry. And he knows that revealing
:05:43. > :05:46.the truth about Britain's worst fire in modern history will be a
:05:47. > :05:49.difficult and sensitive task, carried out in the full glare of
:05:50. > :05:50.public attention. It could take in years.
:05:51. > :06:01.As you were suggesting in your report, there are already tensions
:06:02. > :06:04.about what this enquiry should do? Are little, yes. He is well regarded
:06:05. > :06:09.in the legal profession as somebody who is very competent and a fast
:06:10. > :06:13.worker, importantly. He seems to be somebody who comes from a technical
:06:14. > :06:18.background. He has worked on shipping cases and disasters at sea.
:06:19. > :06:22.But many people in that area feel the roots of the fire lie in the way
:06:23. > :06:27.society deals with our regards people who live in social housing.
:06:28. > :06:31.There is a clear mismatch. They also want the guilty names. And he would
:06:32. > :06:35.say, and I think it is the case, that is the role of the police
:06:36. > :06:40.investigation that is ongoing, and the public enquiry has to take
:06:41. > :06:43.second place to that. But I think what all of this demonstrates is
:06:44. > :06:48.that if he doesn't keep the residents and the victims onside,
:06:49. > :06:53.really behind the enquiry, then it could run into trouble. The
:06:54. > :06:56.long-running enquiry into child sexual abuse shows that is a risk.
:06:57. > :06:56.Thank you. Women from Northern Ireland will no
:06:57. > :06:59.longer have to pay for abortions The decision - which was revealed
:07:00. > :07:03.hours before this afternoon's crucial vote on the Queen's Speech -
:07:04. > :07:06.is being seen as a sign of the government's weakness
:07:07. > :07:09.without a House of Commons majority. There had been fears that a number
:07:10. > :07:12.of Tory MPs would vote As Laura Kuennsberg reports,
:07:13. > :07:15.today's is the first significant parliamentary test for Theresa May
:07:16. > :07:33.since the election. What she wants you to see. The Prime
:07:34. > :07:40.Minister on the red carpets of Europe. Everyone in a good mood,
:07:41. > :07:44.heard German colleague says. But at home, hard work. To avoid being
:07:45. > :07:50.humbled by the House of Commons, with MPs threatening defeat... The
:07:51. > :07:52.Chancellor of the Exchequer. Ministers had to make a last-minute
:07:53. > :07:59.promise that women from Northern Ireland to go to England for
:08:00. > :08:02.abortions won't have to pay. The government intends to intervene to
:08:03. > :08:07.fund abortions in England for women arriving here from Northern Ireland.
:08:08. > :08:11.It is welcome the comedy is now saying it will correct this
:08:12. > :08:16.injustice. However, he will know the devil will be in the detail.
:08:17. > :08:20.Ministers had to do that billion pounds deal with the DUP to get
:08:21. > :08:25.their numbers, to fury, even on their own side. I can barely put
:08:26. > :08:32.into words my anger at the deal my party has done with the DUP. We
:08:33. > :08:38.didn't need to do it. What is grubby about money being put into the
:08:39. > :08:42.infrastructure of Northern Ireland? Money going into the health service
:08:43. > :08:48.of Northern Ireland? Money going into education? What is grubby about
:08:49. > :08:51.that? The Prime Minister returned this afternoon to help pass the vote
:08:52. > :08:54.to improve her government's programme. Stripped of its most
:08:55. > :09:00.controversial measures. In the back... Are you hanging on,
:09:01. > :09:07.Prime Minister? And then at the front face the opposition's main
:09:08. > :09:11.complaints. It can be ensured that people have enough to live on. If
:09:12. > :09:15.can't maintain our public services. That is a government that doesn't
:09:16. > :09:19.deserve to remain in office. I do not see how the nations of the UK
:09:20. > :09:24.can cope with the drastic economic hit that will come as a result. Is
:09:25. > :09:32.there a determination to stand up to the most powerful here the answer is
:09:33. > :09:36.no, no, no. The Chancellor seemed to enjoy the case for the defence.
:09:37. > :09:39.Taking the hard decisions that will set Britain on course to seize the
:09:40. > :09:49.prizes and achieve a brighter global future. The eyes to the right, 323.
:09:50. > :09:54.The nose to the left, 309. Yet with no overall majority, and less
:09:55. > :10:00.authority, even as ministers winter night...
:10:01. > :10:02.The ayes have it. They know with every vote, Parliament can show its
:10:03. > :10:10.power. Theresa May got her winter night,
:10:11. > :10:14.but my goodness, we saw her ministers will have to back down,
:10:15. > :10:17.they will have to compromise to survive. If the Queens speech had
:10:18. > :10:21.fallen, this fragile government would have been at risk of
:10:22. > :10:25.collapsing. But they know they are through tonight. That doesn't mean
:10:26. > :10:25.they are safe at all in the coming months.
:10:26. > :10:29.And we can get more reaction now to that decision that women
:10:30. > :10:32.from Northern Ireland will not have to pay to get abortions
:10:33. > :10:35.Let's speak to our Northern Ireland Health Correspondent,
:10:36. > :10:42.Marie Louise Connolly, who's in Belfast.
:10:43. > :10:50.This isn't going to go down very well in parts of Northern Ireland.
:10:51. > :10:54.It will be quite controversial, wanted? That is right. This decision
:10:55. > :10:59.is as significant as it is controversial. Abortion laws in
:11:00. > :11:02.Northern Ireland are extremely restrictive. A woman can only have
:11:03. > :11:08.an abortion ever life is seen to be at risk or is seen to be in
:11:09. > :11:14.permanent or a serious risk of physical or mental health. The
:11:15. > :11:18.decision means for the 750 women who travel from Northern Ireland to
:11:19. > :11:22.England each year, the procedure will be paid for, a sum that can
:11:23. > :11:28.range anywhere between ?400 and ?2000. While many people have
:11:29. > :11:31.welcomed the move, many others have criticised it. In fact, condemned
:11:32. > :11:38.it. They say today is a black day for some unborn children. And of
:11:39. > :11:42.course, all of this happened within hours of Belfast's Court of Appeal
:11:43. > :11:47.ruling that it should be Northern Ireland's executive who should be
:11:48. > :11:50.deciding on any future legislation, an executive hanging by a thread.
:11:51. > :11:55.And considering what is happening not too far away from me in
:11:56. > :12:01.Stormont, none of this should come as any surprise in the latest twist
:12:02. > :12:02.and turns in political life in Northern Ireland.
:12:03. > :12:05.The latest deadline for a deal to be reached for power sharing to be
:12:06. > :12:07.restored to Northern Ireland has passed without any agreement.
:12:08. > :12:09.Downing Street says talks between Sinn Fein
:12:10. > :12:11.and the Democratic Unionists will continue until Monday.
:12:12. > :12:14.If there's no agreement by then, there could be a return to direct
:12:15. > :12:18.Our Ireland Correspondent, Chris Buckler, reports
:12:19. > :12:29.on why it's proving so difficult to reach an agreement.
:12:30. > :12:35.Stormont is a symbol and the home of government in Northern Ireland. But
:12:36. > :12:40.since January, there has been no body home. Hours, weeks and months
:12:41. > :12:45.have passed without ministers or an assembly. Today was Deadline Day.
:12:46. > :12:48.For a clerk billed as the final chance for a return to power
:12:49. > :12:58.sharing. But the hour passed without fanfare. And most importantly,
:12:59. > :13:04.without a deal. I believe that a resolution can be found. And I am
:13:05. > :13:11.urging the parties to continue focusing all of their efforts on
:13:12. > :13:15.achieving this. Four days, the parties have been locked in
:13:16. > :13:18.negotiations inside Stormont Castle. But it is clear that the Democratic
:13:19. > :13:22.Unionists haven't forgiven Sinn Fein for walking out of their coalition
:13:23. > :13:26.government earlier this year. If anybody thinks they are going to
:13:27. > :13:30.collapse Stormont, get all of their demands and go back in there, they
:13:31. > :13:37.may think again. That is not how we do business. Power-sharing Stormont
:13:38. > :13:41.collapsed during a financial row over a botched energy schemes set up
:13:42. > :13:45.while Arlene Foster was Energy Minister. Sinn Fein said they
:13:46. > :13:49.wouldn't go back into government on less this is Foster stepped aside as
:13:50. > :13:54.First Minister while a public enquiry took place. And they have
:13:55. > :13:57.been calling for the introduction of same-sex marriage in Northern
:13:58. > :14:03.Ireland, which the DUP has blocked in the past. But a key sticking
:14:04. > :14:07.point is Sinn Fein's demand for legislation which would give
:14:08. > :14:10.official status to the Irish Language Act we want these
:14:11. > :14:16.institutions back up and running again but it has to be on the basis
:14:17. > :14:22.of equality and respect. And institutions which command public
:14:23. > :14:24.confidence. The DUP secured ?1 billion for Northern Ireland as part
:14:25. > :14:29.of their deal to support the Tories at Westminster. But with the future
:14:30. > :14:33.of the government hanging in the balance, nobody is sure if there
:14:34. > :14:38.will be Stormont ministers to spend that cash, to the clear frustration
:14:39. > :14:42.of people at this funfair. They need to put their differences aside and
:14:43. > :14:47.move forward for the country as a whole and spend that money wisely on
:14:48. > :14:53.NHS, public services and education. I think it is a bit of a joke. If
:14:54. > :14:57.they start putting -- they need to put things aside and look at the
:14:58. > :15:01.bigger picture. Even though the deadline has passed, the talks
:15:02. > :15:03.haven't come to a crashing halt. After the weekend, the Westminster
:15:04. > :15:07.government will have to make decisions about what to do in
:15:08. > :15:10.Northern Ireland. Chris Buckler, BBC News, Belfast.
:15:11. > :15:12.One of the Pope's closest advisors, Cardinal George Pell,
:15:13. > :15:15.has been charged with historical sexual offences against children.
:15:16. > :15:17.At a press conference this morning, the Cardinal
:15:18. > :15:19.insisted he was innocent, and said he looked forward
:15:20. > :15:29.James Reynolds in in Rome for us this evening.
:15:30. > :15:32.This morning in St Peter's Square, the Cardinals of the Catholic church
:15:33. > :15:35.turned out for a celebration led by Pope Francis.
:15:36. > :15:37.What these men do, how they behave, directly affects
:15:38. > :15:43.This morning, one of their number was missing.
:15:44. > :15:47.Cardinal George Pell appeared in a Vatican pressroom
:15:48. > :15:50.to respond to the allegations made in Australia.
:15:51. > :16:02.The whole idea of sexual abuse is abhorrent to me.
:16:03. > :16:06.For more than 40 years, George Pell worked as a priest
:16:07. > :16:09.and then an archbishop in his own country.
:16:10. > :16:18.During the 1970s, he worked in his hometown of Ballarat.
:16:19. > :16:19.The police have been investigating this era.
:16:20. > :16:26.Cardinal Pell is facing multiple charges in respect
:16:27. > :16:30.And there are multiple complainants relating to those charges.
:16:31. > :16:33.This isn't the first time the Cardinal has had to answer
:16:34. > :16:39.In February of last year, George Pell testified via video link
:16:40. > :16:42.to an Australian Royal Commission on child abuse.
:16:43. > :16:47.Australian victims flew in to watch his testimony.
:16:48. > :16:52.Other abuse survivors say the Pope himself must now take wider steps.
:16:53. > :16:54.He is very good at sound bites and saying the right
:16:55. > :17:04.But for me, and I know for many other survivors and victims,
:17:05. > :17:06.it's not about sound bites and public relations,
:17:07. > :17:10.And on action, the Church is still dismally slow and way
:17:11. > :17:13.behind the curve in terms of what they should be doing to deal
:17:14. > :17:18.with the crisis that exists within that institution.
:17:19. > :17:23.Pope Francis has called George Pell dedicated and honest.
:17:24. > :17:25.Now a court in Australia must decide if that is so.
:17:26. > :17:33.A retired judge will lead the inquiry into what happened

:19:49. > :19:50.The RAF has been carrying out these bombing missions
:19:51. > :19:54.against IS for coming up to three years now, and in that time

:20:04. > :20:06.And yet they say they've seen no evidence so far that
:20:07. > :20:12.they've been responsible for any civilian casualties.
:20:13. > :20:14.It's almost implausible to suggest that you haven't caused civilian

:21:24. > :21:24.The decision by the culture secretary Karren Bradley

:21:30. > :21:31.Mr Murdoch already owns 39% of the satellite broadcaster.

:21:41. > :21:48.What does this mean for Rupert Murdoch's considerable media

:22:10. > :22:12.Britain, his newspaper circulation is in decline, they didn't get the
:22:13. > :22:17.result they wanted in this election, and powerhouses like Amazon, Netflix
:22:18. > :22:20.and Facebook means there's competition for the likes of Sky.
:22:21. > :22:27.Rupert Murdoch is a divisive character so this is over to the
:22:28. > :22:35.authority which will take months to look at the bid which means for the

:22:37. > :22:39.The family of the last person to die from injuries sustained
:22:40. > :22:41.in the Hillsborough disaster have told the BBC they're
:22:42. > :22:43.hugely disappointed that his death has been excluded

:22:45. > :22:47.Tony Bland's life support was removed four years after the 1989
:22:48. > :22:49.His father has been speaking exclusively
:22:50. > :23:09.The chanting has always been of justice for the 96. That number so
:23:10. > :23:15.much a part of Hillsborough, but now one stands apart. Tony Bland died
:23:16. > :23:18.four years after the disaster. Severely brain-damaged, his life
:23:19. > :23:23.support was withdrawn after his family fought for that right. I
:23:24. > :23:31.wouldn't wish it on anyone really, it's awful. Tony's father Allan
:23:32. > :23:39.still remembers how painful it was. Does it feel to you like Tony died
:23:40. > :23:43.then or at Hillsborough? Hillsborough. It might sound cynical
:23:44. > :23:49.but we were left to pick up the pieces. Given that, how do you feel
:23:50. > :23:57.about the decision not to include him in the manslaughter case? Really
:23:58. > :24:02.upset actually. Yes, really... Just couldn't believe it. Tony's death
:24:03. > :24:08.four years after Hillsborough comes too late in law for him to be
:24:09. > :24:15.included in the charges. You get the feeling I wouldn't say left out of
:24:16. > :24:25.it but then this legal thing came along and split us up. You still
:24:26. > :24:30.feel part of the 96? Yes. We were delighted for the families. They
:24:31. > :24:34.fully deserved it. Do you think you will watch with interest the
:24:35. > :24:40.unfolding prosecution? Without doubt, we will be there for the
:24:41. > :24:48.families. You will continue to support them? Yes, definitely. Allan
:24:49. > :24:52.takes comfort from the inquest's verdict that all 96 were unlawfully
:24:53. > :24:58.killed. He says that is justice for his son. We miss him.
:24:59. > :25:01.Everyone has a secret ambition, whether it's writing a book,

:25:04. > :25:05.But a retired farmer from Herefordshire has
:25:06. > :25:08.Stephen Dale has transformed his cowsheds into an international art
:25:09. > :25:23.His family have worked this land for generations.
:25:24. > :25:25.But Stephen Dale had a different dream.
:25:26. > :25:32.Because I'm a farmer, why shouldn't I like art?
:25:33. > :25:35.At the age of 73, Stephen has sold almost all his land
:25:36. > :25:41.Turning his sheds into a free public gallery, harvesting work
:25:42. > :25:49.What is it about art that you love so much?
:25:50. > :25:56.Shapes basically, simplicity of it and how they use materials.
:25:57. > :26:00.The more you study it, the more you can get out of it.
:26:01. > :26:03.All of this started in the 1970s when Stephen was in London
:26:04. > :26:08.Critically ill, he walked out of Barts Hospital and by chance
:26:09. > :26:13.ended up in the Tate - his first time in a gallery.
:26:14. > :26:16.They are probably the most expensive bricks in the world...
:26:17. > :26:18.The controversial work known as Bricks was on display,
:26:19. > :26:30.The shades of grey is getting increased
:26:31. > :26:34.He's now spent ?70,000 buying a similar work by Carl Andre
:26:35. > :26:45.It sounds to me like seeing those bricks 40 years ago
:26:46. > :26:52.Why should art be in London, Manchester, Liverpool,
:26:53. > :27:02.Stephen hopes his gallery will grow to be like
:27:03. > :27:09.Many farmers diversify, but few do it like this.
:27:10. > :27:20.Time for a look at the weather with Jay Wynne.
:27:21. > :27:25.Lucky for you in the south-eastern corner of England, the skies
:27:26. > :27:30.clearing to allow sunshine through this afternoon but that certainly
:27:31. > :27:35.wasn't the case for everyone. Many places were great and quite a few
:27:36. > :27:38.saw rain as well. It has also been windy and on the cool side and it
:27:39. > :27:43.stays that way for the north and the west of the UK overnight tonight.
:27:44. > :27:52.Largely dry in the south-eastern corner but a lot of cloud in the
:27:53. > :27:55.north. It is a wet and windy start in Wales and the south-west of
:27:56. > :28:01.England. That rain becomes more light and patchy as the day goes on.
:28:02. > :28:04.Should begin to dry up in Northern Ireland and western Scotland as the
:28:05. > :28:10.main area of rain shifts further south. In the brighter interludes,
:28:11. > :28:15.23 degrees. Not so bad in London but another cool day in Aberdeenshire.
:28:16. > :28:18.Our main area of rain is on the way out Friday evening, it will cross
:28:19. > :28:25.the south-eastern corner but as we start the weekend we get this ridge
:28:26. > :28:27.of high pressure and that should settle things down for the most
:28:28. > :28:31.part. For most of England and Wales this weekend, it looks like it will
:28:32. > :28:35.be drier and brighter than it has been recently. It is not a dry
:28:36. > :28:39.weekend completely because in Scotland and Northern Ireland there
:28:40. > :28:45.will be a spell of wind and rain moving west to east. Sunny spells,
:28:46. > :28:49.patchy cloud, 23 degrees in London and temperatures around 17 in
:28:50. > :28:55.Aberdeen. On Sunday it is similar to Saturday with rain in the north and
:28:56. > :28:57.west, largely dry the further south and east you happen to be.
