:01:19. > :01:45.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:46. > :01:48.Not one of the youth custody centres in England and Wales is safe

:01:49. > :01:55.That's the shocking warning by the Chief Inspector of Prisons,

:01:56. > :01:58.who says a tragedy is inevitable and the decline in

:01:59. > :02:01.Describing the men's prison system, Peter Clarke says he is often

:02:02. > :02:04.appalled by the conditions in which inmates are held.

:02:05. > :02:06.The Government has acknowledged that prisons have faced a number

:02:07. > :02:08.of challenges and says it's taken immediate action to,

:02:09. > :02:10.amongst other things, boost the number of prison officers.

:02:11. > :02:18.Our home affairs correspondent June Kelly has more.

:02:19. > :02:23.Medway secure training centre in Kent, a place where young offenders

:02:24. > :02:32.are held and hopefully rehabilitated. 18 months ago, an

:02:33. > :02:38.undercover investigation by BBC Panorama shone a light on daily life

:02:39. > :02:43.in Medway. Teenage inmates were seen being mistreated and abused. A

:02:44. > :02:49.number of staff were sacked and the police launched a criminal

:02:50. > :02:52.investigation. Medway, then run by G4S, is now the responsibility of

:02:53. > :02:56.the prison and probation service. But it is still struggling, and only

:02:57. > :03:02.last month inspectors denounced it as inadequate. And it's not alone,

:03:03. > :03:17.according to today's damning report by the prison watchdog, which says:

:03:18. > :03:21.the Chief Inspector of Prisons says he was so alarmed at what was found

:03:22. > :03:29.that he alerted ministers earlier this year. Violence, giving rise to

:03:30. > :03:32.repressive regimes, more discipline, longer being locked in cells. I have

:03:33. > :03:37.seen children being held in cells for 22 hours a day, not eating any

:03:38. > :03:40.of them meals in association with other children. When inspectors went

:03:41. > :03:44.into Feltham young offender institution in west London, they

:03:45. > :03:48.found that violence was so acute that the site was unsafe for both

:03:49. > :03:54.staff and boys. Jennifer Blake, who runs an anti-gang charity, was in

:03:55. > :03:57.felt last month. Their toilet systems are overflowing. The stench

:03:58. > :04:02.in there, the fact that there are more afraid to be inside the prison

:04:03. > :04:06.than outside because of the gang rivalry inside the prison. She began

:04:07. > :04:11.offending when she was 13 and spent 20 years involved in knife crime,

:04:12. > :04:15.drugs and robbery. Through my own life experience, I know that I

:04:16. > :04:18.wasn't stopped and I went down the wrong path. So if these young people

:04:19. > :04:23.are not stopped, they will take it through to their adulthood and they

:04:24. > :04:26.will continue reoffending. The Ministry of Justice said no minister

:04:27. > :04:37.was available for interview, and in a statement, it said:

:04:38. > :04:43.When it comes to adult jails, today's report warns that prison

:04:44. > :04:46.reform will be blighted without less violence, fewer drugs and more time

:04:47. > :04:56.spent out of cells. All these require additional staff. The Chief

:04:57. > :04:59.Inspector of Prisons has raised his concerns in the strongest terms and

:05:00. > :05:03.he clearly feels the government is not listening. Yes, Peter Clarke

:05:04. > :05:06.comes across as a desperate man. He is focusing on the proposed

:05:07. > :05:09.rehabilitation of these young people, which he says it's

:05:10. > :05:13.impossible given the conditions they are living under. The Ministry of

:05:14. > :05:16.Justice says they will provide an extra 2500 staff across the prison

:05:17. > :05:22.estate, but Peter Clarke said it is not just about numbers, it's also

:05:23. > :05:25.about the conditions inmates are being held in, including the things

:05:26. > :05:28.we heard about with overflowing toilets and Dickensian conditions in

:05:29. > :05:32.some institutions. The ministry has also said it has created a youth

:05:33. > :05:35.custody service, and they say that is a sign of the priority it is

:05:36. > :05:39.giving to this issue. But again, Peter Clark is saying that while

:05:40. > :05:43.initiatives are fine, it's all about the practicalities. He says he and

:05:44. > :05:48.his staff produce these reports. Everybody reads them, nods and

:05:49. > :05:51.agrees at what he's suggesting, but he said nothing ever seems to

:05:52. > :05:57.change. And that is what is really irking him. As we were hearing, he

:05:58. > :06:00.is warning that there could be a tragedy if the situation doesn't

:06:01. > :06:02.improve in young offender institutions. June, thank you.

:06:03. > :06:05.There's been an unexpected fall in inflation.

:06:06. > :06:07.The rate, as measured by the Consumer Prices Index,

:06:08. > :06:10.was 2.6% in June compared with 2.9% the month before.

:06:11. > :06:13.The drop is partly due to a fall in fuel prices.

:06:14. > :06:15.But some economists are warning the drop could just be a blip,

:06:16. > :06:22.Here's our Economics Correspondent Andy Verity.

:06:23. > :06:24.We're used to petrol being the motor of inflation,

:06:25. > :06:31.Between May and June, the cost of fuel dropped by more

:06:32. > :06:34.than a percentage point and instead of edging higher, as many expected,

:06:35. > :06:37.inflation generally fell back from 2.9% to 2.6%.

:06:38. > :06:43.One of the biggest elements that held inflation down

:06:44. > :06:47.was culture and recreation, everything from theatre tickets,

:06:48. > :06:50.to sports tickets to video streaming on the internet and another big

:06:51. > :06:53.downward pressure came from these, cheaper tablet computers.

:06:54. > :06:55.This afternoon, the governor of the Bank of England

:06:56. > :07:00.I think the first thing is, one doesn't want to put too much

:07:01. > :07:08.The reason why inflation is above the 2% target

:07:09. > :07:11.is because of the depreciation in the pound following

:07:12. > :07:13.the referendum or associated with the referendum, and that's

:07:14. > :07:17.We'll see in the fullness of time whether that judgment is right,

:07:18. > :07:20.but it's the judgment of the market about the relative incomes in this

:07:21. > :07:23.country as a consequence of those decisions over the medium term.

:07:24. > :07:27.This carpet factory in Kidderminster is an example of a growing business

:07:28. > :07:34.It means it has to pay more than it once did to buy the yarn that goes

:07:35. > :07:37.It's adapted to that and more of its yarn now

:07:38. > :07:42.That's helped it to trim its costs and keep its price rises contained.

:07:43. > :07:49.We've increased prices by around 2% this year and that's been a natural

:07:50. > :07:55.consequence of increased wage costs, yarn costs and energy costs.

:07:56. > :08:04.We have had to pass that on to our customers.

:08:05. > :08:06.While inflation is lower than last month, prices

:08:07. > :08:08.are still rising faster than the average worker's pay.

:08:09. > :08:10.The squeeze on living standards isn't over yet.

:08:11. > :08:17.It looks as if inflation might be dampened a bit by softer fuel price

:08:18. > :08:20.growth over the next few months, but underlying price pressures

:08:21. > :08:23.from post-Brexit falls in sterling are still there and they look set

:08:24. > :08:26.to continue to push inflation up a bit further as we move

:08:27. > :08:31.For now, the pressure on the Bank of England to tame inflation

:08:32. > :08:33.by raising interest rates sooner rather than later has eased.

:08:34. > :08:37.In the City, they are still betting a rise in interest rates will be

:08:38. > :08:42.The aftermath of last month's fire at Grenfell Tower exposed social

:08:43. > :08:46.inequalities in the borough, in particular the kind of affordable

:08:47. > :08:49.housing offered to those on the lowest incomes.

:08:50. > :08:52.Most councils have a statutory duty to offer half of accommodation

:08:53. > :08:55.in all new large buildings projects as social housing.

:08:56. > :08:58.But BBC News has found that the council where

:08:59. > :09:00.Grenfell Tower is located - Kensington and Chelsea -

:09:01. > :09:03.agreed that developers could give them nearly ?50 million

:09:04. > :09:06.instead of building the required social housing last year.

:09:07. > :09:17.the council is far from alone in doing so.

:09:18. > :09:23.A rarely seen view of one of Britain's richest areas. The

:09:24. > :09:31.Kensington and Chelsea, like everywhere else, does have social

:09:32. > :09:35.housing, just not enough of it. This person is currently living in a

:09:36. > :09:39.local hostel, desperate for a home. I have tried to get a house for two

:09:40. > :09:44.years. It is just impossible to get any sort of housing. I have tried so

:09:45. > :09:48.many times, and they just won't listen to you. They say there is

:09:49. > :09:54.nothing for you and I can't help me. They won't even get me on the

:09:55. > :09:59.housing list. Just minutes away, a huge new development in

:10:00. > :10:05.Knightsbridge that Kalpesh ukla will never live in. There will be shops,

:10:06. > :10:08.offices and luxury flats. Council rules say half the homes should be

:10:09. > :10:12.affordable, but the architect said the flats were too big, the service

:10:13. > :10:16.charge would be too expensive. So Kensington and Chelsea Council

:10:17. > :10:20.allowed the developers to pay them ?12 million, which they should now

:10:21. > :10:26.spend on affordable homes. Research for the BBC shows that in 2016,

:10:27. > :10:31.Kensington and Chelsea agreed to take nearly ?47.5 million from

:10:32. > :10:35.developers in such deals. The money property companies have paid them,

:10:36. > :10:39.more than ?9 million remains unspent. However, just 336

:10:40. > :10:47.affordable homes were built in the area over five years. In one year,

:10:48. > :10:51.just four were actually added. We are exporting the poor population.

:10:52. > :10:54.The leader of the Labour group of the Council is appalled. One of the

:10:55. > :10:58.great things about living in London is that you do have a balanced

:10:59. > :11:04.population, and I do think we have a duty not to produce the prettiest

:11:05. > :11:07.ghost town in western Europe. Our first loyalty should be to

:11:08. > :11:11.maintaining and strengthening our communities, and we have fallen down

:11:12. > :11:15.on that job terribly. Kensington and Chelsea told us they are struggling

:11:16. > :11:19.to provide affordable homes, due to being a small, densely packed area

:11:20. > :11:23.with limited sites and high land values. They say they do what they

:11:24. > :11:27.can, sometimes pushing developers to give more. But ultimately, they say

:11:28. > :11:33.they have limited capacity to provide housing. Average house

:11:34. > :11:39.prices around here are more than ?1 million. Despite that, the council

:11:40. > :11:42.has a target of building 200 affordable homes each year.

:11:43. > :11:47.Developers, however, seem increasingly keen to ignore such

:11:48. > :11:52.goals. Kensington and Chelsea is an inner borough, and it also has

:11:53. > :11:55.relatively high land values. Therefore, there is more likelihood

:11:56. > :11:57.of developers wanting to build entirely private schemes and give

:11:58. > :12:00.the payment to the council in lieu of a affordable housing coming

:12:01. > :12:05.through as part of the new-build application. Lots of English

:12:06. > :12:09.councils take money from developers instead of forcing them to build

:12:10. > :12:18.affordable homes. But in Kensington and Chelsea, many luxury flats lie

:12:19. > :12:21.empty. It's the only London borough where striking such deals can

:12:22. > :12:25.exempt, believe the money is properly used.

:12:26. > :12:27.The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have described as "shattering"

:12:28. > :12:29.their visit to a former concentration camp, part

:12:30. > :12:32.of their five day tour of Poland and Germany.

:12:33. > :12:34.Holocaust survivors at Stutthof, near Gdansk,

:12:35. > :12:37.where 65,000 people were killed during the Second World War.

:12:38. > :12:38.Prince William hailed the country's "incredible bravery"

:12:39. > :12:45.Our Royal Correspondent Peter Hunt was travelling with them.

:12:46. > :12:48.Poland, a country with a troubled past,

:12:49. > :12:50.provides presidential-style security for visiting royal

:12:51. > :12:56.dignitaries that leaves little to chance.

:12:57. > :13:00.Part of that past is captured here at Stutthof, a concentration

:13:01. > :13:03.camp turned museum with evil on display,

:13:04. > :13:13.With two survivors, tens of thousands perished here.

:13:14. > :13:17.The Duke and Duchess paid their respects

:13:18. > :13:23.at the camp's Jewish memorial and reflected.

:13:24. > :13:26."What the Nazis did here", William and Kate wrote later,

:13:27. > :13:29."was a terrible reminder of the cost of war".

:13:30. > :13:34.They described their visit as shattering.

:13:35. > :13:46.In what was a friendless, soulless place, teenagers Manfred

:13:47. > :13:51.and Ziggy formed a friendship for life.

:13:52. > :13:54.They walked out of these death gates in the '40s,

:13:55. > :13:57.This was the only camp I thought I was going to die,

:13:58. > :14:05.because it wasn't only from sickness or starvation, but also the weather.

:14:06. > :14:08.In November here, it was well below zero and we wore stripy pyjamas.

:14:09. > :14:13.It was an extremely emotional event for me, in that 70 plus years

:14:14. > :14:14.since our liberation, I have never set foot

:14:15. > :14:25.At this brutal camp and at the others, so many people died,

:14:26. > :14:32.The hope is that this royal visit will help to educate the young

:14:33. > :14:34.and ensure that the horrors of the Holocaust

:14:35. > :14:40.These visits change tempo and mix the solemn with the less so

:14:41. > :14:43.But despite such changes, the memories of Stutthof

:14:44. > :14:57.Not a single custody centre for children and young

:14:58. > :15:08.people is safe, according to the Chief Inspector of Prisons.

:15:40. > :15:42.on the island is threatening the largest of the species, the Indri.

:15:43. > :15:44.Since late last year, more than 40,000 miners have invaded

:15:45. > :15:51.a remote area of rainforest in the east of the country.

:15:52. > :15:54.The men live in squalor and rarely get rich.

:15:55. > :15:57.But the illegal mining is destroying the home of the Indri, which is

:15:58. > :16:02.From Madagascar, Angus Crawford reports.

:16:03. > :16:05.In the forests of Madagascar there's a new sound,

:16:06. > :16:09.the sound of men working, poor men who want to get rich.

:16:10. > :16:16.This is the biggest rush in Madagascar for more than 20 years.

:16:17. > :16:18.Tens of thousands of people have moved here to clear

:16:19. > :16:33.Once virgin rainforest, felled and burned, now look,

:16:34. > :16:35.mine shafts and spoil heaps stretch across the valley.

:27:05. > :27:06.into Anglesey, western areas of Scotland as well. All of these

:27:12. > :27:15.away from heat and over towards thunderstorms. On the satellite

:27:16. > :27:20.picture there have been storm clouds into south-west England. One or two

:27:21. > :27:25.are working elsewhere across the central English Channel threatening

:27:26. > :27:29.the Isle of Wight into Hampshire and Dorset in the next few hours. Don't

:27:30. > :27:37.be surprised if you hear rumbles of thunder. This was the scene in

:27:38. > :27:41.Plymouth today as fork lightning came down. This evening and

:27:42. > :27:45.overnight the storms will drive northwards. They will be

:27:46. > :27:50.hit-and-miss in nature. The rain from the storms will vary a bit as

:27:51. > :27:53.well. One or two could bring half a month's worth of rainfall in the

:27:54. > :27:57.space of an hour or two, others not so much in the way of rain. It will

:28:03. > :28:05.Fresher air with us across northern parts of the country. Wednesday'

:28:06. > :28:09.forecast. That first batch of storms will work northwards. There will be

:28:10. > :28:12.a lull for a time. Heavy rain will work into Northern Ireland. That

:28:13. > :28:15.could turn thundery during the day. A few more thunderstorms could break

:28:16. > :28:19.out elsewhere across England and Wales as the temperatures begin to

:28:20. > :28:24.rise once again. It is going to be a particularly humid day tomorrow

:28:25. > :28:28.across eastern areas of England, temperatures hitting 31 or 32

:28:29. > :28:31.Celsius. The ninth day this summer we have seen temperatures over the

:28:32. > :28:35.30 degree mark. It tells you something about how warm this summer
