Hello, this is Breakfast, with Ben Thompson and Naga

:00:00.:00:07.

Angry protests as survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire

:00:08.:00:13.

vent their frustration at the authorities.

:00:14.:00:21.

Demonstrators storm council offices and march in Westminster demanding

:00:22.:00:23.

Government is making money available, we are ensuring we will

:00:24.:00:35.

get the bottom of what's happened, we will ensure people are rehoused,

:00:36.:00:39.

we need to make sure that actually happens.

:00:40.:00:40.

Jeremy Corbyn warns it's not enough and says the public enquiry must be

:00:41.:00:43.

wide-ranging enough to get to the truth.

:00:44.:00:45.

Hundreds of mourners attend a late-night vigil for the dead

:00:46.:00:48.

and missing as the search for victims enters its fourth day.

:00:49.:01:03.

Good morning, it's Saturday the 17th of June.

:01:04.:01:06.

Seven American navy crew are missing as a US warship collides

:01:07.:01:12.

with a container ship off the coast of Japan.

:01:13.:01:16.

From selfless heroes to entertainment superstars: Bravery

:01:17.:01:18.

and achievement are recognised in the Queen's Birthday honours.

:01:19.:01:25.

In sport, Rory McIlroy misses the cut,

:01:26.:01:27.

but two Englishmen, Paul Casey and Tommy Fleetwood,

:01:28.:01:29.

are part of a four-way tie for the lead at the US Open.

:01:30.:01:33.

Good morning. It will be hotter still today and the first of if you

:01:34.:01:48.

hot days for many of us, with high levels of UV, very high in the

:01:49.:01:52.

south. More details in about 15 minutes.

:01:53.:01:54.

Angry protests have been held in London as residents demand

:01:55.:01:58.

support for those affected by the Grenfell Tower Fire.

:01:59.:02:05.

The government has pledged ?5 million to help victims but Labour

:02:06.:02:09.

says it isn't enough. Around 70 people are thought

:02:10.:02:10.

to be dead or missing and last night London came together in grief

:02:11.:02:14.

with a candlelight vigil. A moment to grieve. For a community

:02:15.:02:24.

still coming to terms with what has happened this week. Side by side,

:02:25.:02:29.

hundreds held a two-minute silence. Because we've done a candle vigil we

:02:30.:02:34.

stopped a riot. Earlier Rhondda kids were getting angry because no one is

:02:35.:02:39.

communicating what is going on. There is no co-ordination at the

:02:40.:02:42.

moment. I've been here for three days and I haven't seen one council

:02:43.:02:46.

official tone up here and take responsibility and say, right, we

:02:47.:02:53.

need to organise. They don't. And that anger came to a head earlier

:02:54.:02:57.

on, with protesters storming Kensington and Chelsea Town Hall,

:02:58.:03:01.

demanding more information and calling for justice. In Westminster,

:03:02.:03:07.

large crowds gathered, picking their way to Downing Street before

:03:08.:03:10.

marching along Regent Street to the BBC's headquarters, with a clear

:03:11.:03:17.

message to the Prime Minister, who yesterday, protected behind police

:03:18.:03:20.

officers, met victims and volunteers at a local church. But her

:03:21.:03:24.

appearance didn't go down well with and boiling over outside. Mrs May

:03:25.:03:30.

has announced ?5 million to help those affected, Thomas into re-

:03:31.:03:34.

everyone and get to the bottom of what happened. But with so many

:03:35.:03:39.

still missing, others dead or feared dead, the questions keep growing,

:03:40.:03:44.

but the answers are simply not there.

:03:45.:03:49.

And Frankie joins us now from London.

:03:50.:03:53.

The search is entering its fourth day of course, but as we saw there

:03:54.:03:59.

is growing anger amongst people affected? Yes, that's it. There are

:04:00.:04:06.

plenty of questions still unanswered and that's why at the moment three

:04:07.:04:13.

investigations are ongoing. As we speak, one is being carried out by

:04:14.:04:17.

the fire rescue service to find out exactly why this fire started and

:04:18.:04:21.

why it spread so quickly and secondly criminal investigations

:04:22.:04:24.

have been launched by the police to find out whether all security...

:04:25.:04:30.

Whether all safety features, the procedures were followed and to find

:04:31.:04:33.

out if anyone was responsible for this -- safety procedures. And also

:04:34.:04:39.

this public enquiry, which has been announced by Theresa May. But, as

:04:40.:04:46.

you can see, Grenfell Tower is behind us and firefighters today are

:04:47.:04:50.

still trying to get into the building to find out exactly who is

:04:51.:04:56.

in there. As we understand, 70 people are known to have died in

:04:57.:04:59.

this fire this week. Thank you for now.

:05:00.:05:00.

Just after 7am this morning we'll be speaking to local

:05:01.:05:06.

US officials say seven crew members are unaccounted for after a US Navy

:05:07.:05:14.

destroyer collided with a merchant ship off the coast of Japan.

:05:15.:05:17.

The commander of the USS Fitzgerald and another sailor had

:05:18.:05:19.

to be winched to safety following the incident.

:05:20.:05:22.

Our Tokyo correspondent Rupert Wingfield-Hayes joins us live

:05:23.:05:24.

This is quite an unusual collision, isn't it? Very unusual and very

:05:25.:05:37.

serious that such a sophisticated ship as this, the USS Fitzgerald,

:05:38.:05:43.

one of the most modern and sophisticated warships anywhere in

:05:44.:05:47.

the world, with an array of different types of radar and

:05:48.:05:51.

sensors, how did this ship on a calm and clear night colli with a large

:05:52.:05:57.

merchant vessel off the coast of Japan? It's a very easy part of the

:05:58.:06:03.

sea, but nevertheless these are very highly trained crews on the ships

:06:04.:06:07.

and a lot of questions are being raised as to how it could have

:06:08.:06:11.

happened. It has caused extensive damage to the USS Fitzgerald. I've

:06:12.:06:15.

seen pictures and there's a huge gash down the side of the destroyer.

:06:16.:06:21.

The bow of the cargo vessel seems to have penetrated the side of the navy

:06:22.:06:26.

destroyer, both above and below the waterline, and it has taken on

:06:27.:06:30.

water. It is listing to one side, although I understand from the US

:06:31.:06:34.

Navy that it isn't at risk of sinking. Thanks for the moment.

:06:35.:06:36.

A jury in the US state of Minnesota has acquitted the police officer

:06:37.:06:40.

who fatally shot an African American man after pulling him over

:06:41.:06:43.

Philando Castile's girlfriend live streamed his dying

:06:44.:06:49.

We got pulled over for a busted taillight in the back and the police

:06:50.:07:07.

just... He killed my boyfriend. Philando Castile was pulled over by

:07:08.:07:11.

police because he had a faulty brake light. Then he was shot. His

:07:12.:07:16.

girlfriend string the aftermath on Facebook, as the officer kept his

:07:17.:07:20.

gun trained on the car. Oh my God, please don't tell me he is dead.

:07:21.:07:25.

Please don't tell me my boyfriend just went like that. I will keep my

:07:26.:07:31.

hands where they are. Philando Castile was seen on police video

:07:32.:07:34.

telling the officer there was legally purchased in the car, but he

:07:35.:07:41.

wasn't going anywhere near it. Officer Yanez said he felt his life

:07:42.:07:46.

is on danger, that Philando Castile was high on marijuana and he matched

:07:47.:07:49.

the description of the robbery suspect. The jury believed him and

:07:50.:07:53.

found him not guilty. Philando Castile's family could not contain

:07:54.:07:56.

their grief and outrage at the verdict. My son loved the city and

:07:57.:08:01.

the city killed my son and a murderer gets away! No justice! No

:08:02.:08:08.

peace! This shooting sparked vigils and protests in cities across the

:08:09.:08:15.

US. First peaceful, but the frustration at the fault line of

:08:16.:08:22.

racial division grew. Tonight, once again, they gathered in the city of

:08:23.:08:29.

St Paul with a cry for justice. They marched, voices and banners raised.

:08:30.:08:33.

Ministers of police have dismissed Jeronimo Yanez despite the verdict

:08:34.:08:38.

and there is a call for calm, but this community is once again in pain

:08:39.:08:40.

and they are determined to show it. The former New Zealand trade

:08:41.:08:52.

negotiation has been appointed by the government to advise on securing

:08:53.:08:55.

new deals with countries outside the EU.

:08:56.:09:00.

Crawford Falconer, who previously called Brexit an "enormous

:09:01.:09:02.

opportunity", will work with the International Trade

:09:03.:09:04.

Secretary Liam Fox to set up deals to be signed when the UK

:09:05.:09:08.

Mr Fox is due to visit Washington on Monday to develop new links

:09:09.:09:12.

The Queen's birthday honours list has been released.

:09:13.:09:15.

Julie Walters and June Whitfield have received damehoods and there's

:09:16.:09:18.

also a knighthood for Billy Connolly.

:09:19.:09:20.

In a break with tradition, the Queen's Civilian Gallantry List

:09:21.:09:22.

has also been released at the same time.

:09:23.:09:24.

Our entertainment correspondent, Lizo Mzimba, has more.

:09:25.:09:31.

Several people are being recognised for their bravery, among them PCP

:09:32.:09:38.

Keith Palmer, killed as he tried to stop someone entering Parliament

:09:39.:09:43.

during the Westminster attack. He has been awarded a posthumous medal.

:09:44.:09:50.

Also recognised with Queen's Gallantry medals,

:09:51.:09:52.

PCs Craig Nicholls and Jonathan Wright,

:09:53.:09:54.

who arrested the man who killed MP Jo Cox last June.

:09:55.:09:57.

Bernard Kenny, who was with MP when she was attacked,

:09:58.:09:59.

He just saw Jo and tried to save her and we can't

:10:00.:10:04.

The two boys, similarly, unarmed, just went in,

:10:05.:10:07.

they knew he was armed, but not a thought.

:10:08.:10:09.

True heroes. True heroes.

:10:10.:10:13.

And the last surviving member of the famous Dambuster raids,

:10:14.:10:15.

Johnny Johnson, has been made an MBE, one of more

:10:16.:10:18.

In the world of music, the 1960s Eurovision winner

:10:19.:10:26.

Charttopping singer Ed Sheeran is also made an MBE.

:10:27.:10:45.

Billy Connolly knows his knighthood is likely to produce a strong

:10:46.:10:48.

Some of them will say high time and some of them will say,

:10:49.:10:52.

Terry and June and Absolutely Fabulous's June Whitfield has been

:10:53.:11:00.

Just a few of the more than 1,000 people being honoured.

:11:01.:11:08.

The Queen celebrates her official birthday today with the Trooping

:11:09.:11:12.

Prince William will take part in his role as Colonel of the first

:11:13.:11:18.

Battalion of the Irish Guards, pictured here at a rehearsal

:11:19.:11:21.

Over 400 musicians, 200 horses and 14,100 troops

:11:22.:11:24.

Let's run the prison of the newspapers. As you would expect, the

:11:25.:11:42.

stories of the Grenfell Tower disaster still dominating the front

:11:43.:11:49.

of many. The Times says 'May takes cover', criticism that perhaps the

:11:50.:11:52.

Prime Minister wasn't visible love. Also the announcement of the ?5

:11:53.:11:57.

million fund to help those affected by the disaster. Yesterday you will

:11:58.:12:02.

also have seen the pictures of the many protesters who broke into

:12:03.:12:05.

Kensington Town Hall, demanding answers to certain key questions

:12:06.:12:09.

they say they need to know. Lots of criticism levied against

:12:10.:12:12.

some of the protesters, about whether or not they were organised

:12:13.:12:16.

protesters and whether or not they were activists, hard left activists.

:12:17.:12:20.

This coming from the Daily Telegraph. Accused of exploiting the

:12:21.:12:26.

grief of the tower families, as these demonstrations turned ugly. So

:12:27.:12:30.

those pictures also on the front page. But also lots of questions

:12:31.:12:34.

about how Theresa May has reacted. We will be talking to the Secretary

:12:35.:12:38.

of State Damian Green later in this programme.

:12:39.:12:45.

On the Sun, this is the headline. Protesters, there were two organised

:12:46.:12:54.

protest yesterday, and also another protest that was much quieter, a

:12:55.:12:57.

candlelit vigil, that took days later on even in very close to the

:12:58.:13:01.

site of Grenfell Tower. The front page of the Daily Mirror.

:13:02.:13:07.

The tale of two leaders. The Queen visited victims yesterday, well,

:13:08.:13:11.

families of victims, and the victims, people who have lost their

:13:12.:13:15.

homes and possessions. It is the picture. The Mirror says that the

:13:16.:13:20.

Prime Minister did not visit. We want to make clear that Downing

:13:21.:13:25.

Street has reacted and we do know that Theresa May did visit a church

:13:26.:13:30.

and she did also meet a group of victims at residents and community

:13:31.:13:34.

leaders at the church. Earlier she had met visitors and survivors at a

:13:35.:13:37.

hospital. A quick look at the front of the FT.

:13:38.:13:42.

The same story of course at the top. In other news:, this is a big story

:13:43.:13:48.

in the business world. Amazon. The sweeps on whole foods. It is paying

:13:49.:13:54.

$13.7 billion to buy the retailer present in many cities around the

:13:55.:13:58.

world, but Amazon buying the bricks and mortar, physical stores, as part

:13:59.:14:03.

of its attempts to start delivering fresh food.

:14:04.:14:12.

I like this story. 80 years married. The trick? Do you know how they keep

:14:13.:14:20.

their love going? They hold hands. They held hands and they still do

:14:21.:14:25.

every day. Ken is 102 and his wife, Margaret, is 99. They tied the knot

:14:26.:14:31.

two years before the Second World War finished.

:14:32.:14:35.

We will hold hands later. You're watching

:14:36.:14:41.

Breakfast from BBC News. As a series of angry protests

:14:42.:14:42.

take place in London, the government promises more support

:14:43.:14:46.

for survivors of the Grenfell Tower Seven crew members are missing

:14:47.:14:49.

after a US Navy destroyer collides with a cargo vessel off

:14:50.:14:53.

the coast of Japan. Here's Helen with a look

:14:54.:14:55.

at this morning's weather. Lead to you both. I have got to say

:14:56.:15:16.

that the mid-20s is bearable for me and ever get any hotter, which over

:15:17.:15:20.

the next few days, it will be uncomfortable particularly as

:15:21.:15:23.

humidity rises. But the payoff, lovely sunrises. This one coming in

:15:24.:15:29.

from Rye Harbour. Plenty of sunshine to be found this morning. I drove

:15:30.:15:34.

past the little 's fault first thing and that is gone now. We should

:15:35.:15:41.

enjoy plenty of fine and dry weather the week and will be warm, if not

:15:42.:15:47.

hot. With several days of this hit and rising humidity. Night-time

:15:48.:15:49.

humidity as well will make it uncomfortable for some. We have lots

:15:50.:15:53.

of sunshine this morning and a little cloud across the north-west

:15:54.:15:57.

of England. That will burn away for the main cloudy area where we have

:15:58.:16:02.

the waterfront, there is always a bus with British weather and the

:16:03.:16:07.

Highlands of Scotland, and some parts of Northern Ireland, I think

:16:08.:16:11.

as well will see a little cloud but if you head off to trooping the

:16:12.:16:14.

colour today, look of utter Bridger rise. Just the chance that we could

:16:15.:16:18.

see 30 degrees, believe it or not, during the day ahead. Not, as I say,

:16:19.:16:22.

for all. We have this weather front around because yesterday across the

:16:23.:16:27.

north-west you will migrate into the north-east is thought to be a damper

:16:28.:16:31.

David east of the Grampians, 21 on the toes, 25, 26 on the coast, 24,

:16:32.:16:36.

25 across the eastern side of Northern Ireland and 26 to about ten

:16:37.:16:40.

or 29, just as say, a small possibility that we will see 30

:16:41.:16:43.

summer across England. If we do that, it will be the warmest day so

:16:44.:16:47.

far full of a little fresher around the coach because the city -- sea

:16:48.:16:52.

temperature is nowhere near as high that the thunder to make sunshine is

:16:53.:16:57.

strong. Unusual to get high levels of UV in this country and that is

:16:58.:17:01.

what we have through the weekend full of the overnight period, well,

:17:02.:17:05.

we keep the status quo. And dry settled whether the most part with

:17:06.:17:09.

cloudy zone and rain in the north. Humidity will rise tonight so last

:17:10.:17:14.

night, if it was warm, it will be more warm and more uncomfortable.

:17:15.:17:17.

That will be a notable feature of the weather through the coming few

:17:18.:17:20.

nights. Otherwise a repeat performance of tomorrow. OK. So you

:17:21.:17:26.

will either be happy that the weather repeats or not. Thank you,

:17:27.:17:30.

Helen. We will have more from her later but now it is time for the

:17:31.:17:32.

film review. This week Mark Kermode joins

:17:33.:17:33.

Jane Hill to discuss this week's cinema releases, including Churchill

:17:34.:17:36.

and Whitney: Can I Be Me. Hello and welcome to

:17:37.:17:57.

the Film Review on BBC News. To take us through this

:17:58.:18:00.

week's cinema releases, We have Churchill with a powerhouse

:18:01.:18:02.

performance by Bryan Cox. We have Gifted which is not what it

:18:03.:18:09.

looks like it's going to be. And Whitney: Can I Be Me,

:18:10.:18:15.

the new documentary by Nick He gives some fantastic

:18:16.:18:18.

performances. He plays Winston Churchill,

:18:19.:18:30.

which is a very big role. Effectively, he is played

:18:31.:18:33.

as a bulldog but as a kind You know, the military bosses

:18:34.:18:37.

are off doing their thing, he is somebody who is seen much

:18:38.:18:42.

more as a figurehead. He is convinced, in the film,

:18:43.:18:45.

that the D-Day landings, the operation is very,

:18:46.:18:48.

very flawed and very dangerous and is going to end possibly

:18:49.:18:50.

in tragic loss of life, He is sort of flashing

:18:51.:18:54.

back to World War I. We see him at the beginning,

:18:55.:18:58.

he's walking on the beach, and the sea is lapping and the sea

:18:59.:19:01.

starts to turn red and he is having And so the film is basically

:19:02.:19:06.

about him in the days leading up to D-Day, attempting to convince

:19:07.:19:10.

everybody that this is not This will be the greatest

:19:11.:19:13.

campaign we have mounted Operation Overlord will require

:19:14.:19:23.

200,000 vehicles, a fleet 7000 ships, swarms of planes,

:19:24.:19:28.

most essentially a quarter All this will be focused in one

:19:29.:19:31.

place, taking the German This plan may be admirable

:19:32.:19:40.

in its bravery but in its risk Our own casualty estimates predict

:19:41.:19:52.

that anything up to 160,000 French If Overlord fails -

:19:53.:20:00.

which it all too easily could - we would lose at one strike most

:20:01.:20:06.

of our war material along with tens Is it fair to say not a straight

:20:07.:20:10.

biopic because of this is looking And I have to say I think the film

:20:11.:20:22.

is carried shoulder high by Brian He brings an awful lot

:20:23.:20:32.

of King Lear to this role. I mean, a number of people have

:20:33.:20:35.

pointed out, including Brian Cox himself, he plays Winston Churchill

:20:36.:20:38.

as this kind of slightly wounded figure, somebody who is a man out

:20:39.:20:41.

of time, somebody who is no longer in the position of power

:20:42.:20:45.

that they think they ought to be, and somebody who is also deeply

:20:46.:20:48.

conflicted, who is haunted by the ghost of Gallipoli,

:20:49.:20:51.

who is absolutely convinced that what's going to happen is that they

:20:52.:20:54.

are walking towards tragedy. There are very few people

:20:55.:20:57.

to whom he listens - one is the King and the other

:20:58.:21:00.

is Miranda Richardson, as Clemmie. Actually performing alongside

:21:01.:21:03.

Brian Cox, who is doing such a great role - all eyes are on Brian Cox -

:21:04.:21:09.

it is a real tribute to Miranda Richardson that she holds

:21:10.:21:12.

the screen as well as she does, which is no surprise

:21:13.:21:16.

because she is a fantastic actor. There is a subplot about

:21:17.:21:19.

a secretary, a new secretary who is brought in, through whose

:21:20.:21:23.

eyes we originally meet Winston She then has a relationship

:21:24.:21:26.

with the man also involved in the campaign, and all this weaves

:21:27.:21:29.

through the drama in a way which feels much too much

:21:30.:21:33.

like melodramatic contrivance. It also feels like it doesn't really

:21:34.:21:35.

need it because the story itself I know that the particular take

:21:36.:21:39.

on history has ruffled some people's feathers but for me it felt

:21:54.:21:59.

that it is and we all are as well. He and Miranda Richardson

:22:00.:22:06.

are the main reasons I have only seen the

:22:07.:22:09.

trailer for Gifted. The subject matter struck me

:22:10.:22:14.

as really interesting. This has potential

:22:15.:22:16.

to be interesting. And the poster I have

:22:17.:22:18.

to say looked very cheesy. From the director of

:22:19.:22:22.

500 Days of Summer. The poster looked like it was going

:22:23.:22:26.

to be a particular kind of drama and I went in not

:22:27.:22:30.

expecting very much. The story is a single man

:22:31.:22:32.

who is raising a precociously He wants her to go

:22:33.:22:36.

to a normal school. The school saying she is a genius

:22:37.:22:39.

and she needs to go He says, no I want her

:22:40.:22:42.

to have as a normal life. What I like about this film was,

:22:43.:22:47.

particularly since I hadn't expected that much of it, it is very,

:22:48.:22:50.

very sharply written by Tom Flynn. It is a film in which...it's a lot

:22:51.:22:54.

funnier than you expect I have this thing that something has

:22:55.:22:57.

:23:17.:23:20.

:23:21.:23:31.

feeling uplifted with a real smile I was very, very surprised by how

:23:32.:23:34.

much it did what it set Your third choice today

:23:35.:23:39.

is a documentary, the new Nick Broomfield, a man with quite a track

:23:40.:23:44.

record, massive track He has made things in the past

:23:45.:23:47.

like Kurt and Courtney, and has had a very particular kind

:23:48.:23:55.

of documentary style. Originally he put himself

:23:56.:23:59.

into the documentaries a lot. The figure who walks

:24:00.:24:01.

around with a boom mic, He has very much taken

:24:02.:24:03.

a back seat here. You hear his voice a couple

:24:04.:24:08.

of times, but that's all. He's using footage from a tour

:24:09.:24:11.

that was going to be turned into a fly-on-the-wall

:24:12.:24:15.

documentary but never did. It essentially traces her story

:24:16.:24:16.

from her home life, her mother who was a very powerful singer,

:24:17.:24:21.

and how she was then picked up by a record company,

:24:22.:24:24.

marketed as a pop singer, rather that as a gospel and R,

:24:25.:24:27.

which is where she came from. Found herself in a difficult

:24:28.:24:30.

position in which she did not know who she was meant to be,

:24:31.:24:33.

and her relationship with people like, for example, Robyn Crawford

:24:34.:24:36.

and, of course, Bobby Brown. She could come off the stage and not

:24:37.:24:39.

have to be the person that everybody in the world expected her to be

:24:40.:24:54.

or who they thought she was. He understood that part of her,

:24:55.:24:57.

he understood the pressures because he was Bobby

:24:58.:25:00.

Brown, you know. He understood her pressures

:25:01.:25:06.

and he understood her pain. What do I think that Bobby

:25:07.:25:08.

and Whitney gave each other? You can see from the clip,

:25:09.:25:12.

the film is more forgiving, more affectionate than some

:25:13.:25:31.

of Nick Broomfield's previous work. I went into this not being a big

:25:32.:25:34.

Whitney Houston fan, I did not know that

:25:35.:25:36.

much about her music - I'd seen her in movies, obviously -

:25:37.:25:39.

and the most important thing is I came out with a new-found

:25:40.:25:44.

respect for what she did, for the way she sang,

:25:45.:25:47.

for the way in which her music was important because I really

:25:48.:25:50.

didn't have a handle on it. And that is important that a film

:25:51.:25:54.

like this does tell you that. Obviously the comparison

:25:55.:25:59.

to be made is with Amy, And it's also worth saying,

:26:00.:26:02.

straight off the bat, What Amy did was give you the sense

:26:03.:26:05.

of being intimately involved in that story, sometimes in a way

:26:06.:26:11.

that was deeply uncomfortable, but because of the way he used

:26:12.:26:13.

the lyrics, which seemed to tell the story almost like a diary,

:26:14.:26:17.

it really gave you what felt This feels much more like watching

:26:18.:26:20.

something from a distance It is to do with the way

:26:21.:26:24.

that the film came together. It's also...there is a fairly

:26:25.:26:28.

familiar story of somebody who has a lot of talent, suddenly finding

:26:29.:26:31.

themselves involved in fame and fortune and finding it very

:26:32.:26:34.

difficult to deal with that The film investigates

:26:35.:26:37.

the relationship with the people around her, whether

:26:38.:26:40.

they helped her or not. There's an interview

:26:41.:26:42.

with her bodyguard who says that at one point he wrote down very

:26:43.:26:45.

clearly, all this stuff is happening and this is bad and this

:26:46.:26:48.

is not going to end well. He says he was then rewarded

:26:49.:26:51.

by being told "OK, we no longer What I came out of it with was,

:26:52.:26:55.

as I said, primarily a sense of an extraordinary talent having

:26:56.:27:00.

made some really brilliant records which I really had not

:27:01.:27:02.

thought of like that before A public waste shown

:27:03.:27:05.

with Amy as well. As a piece of filmmaking it is not

:27:06.:27:12.

in the same league as Amy. Amy really is an extraordinary

:27:13.:27:15.

and remarkable and very, And I think as a piece

:27:16.:27:18.

of film-making, it is the better My Cousin Rachel, which is

:27:19.:27:26.

an adaptation of the Daphne du Maurier, from the 1951,

:27:27.:27:32.

which was filmed in 1952 Now we have Rachel Weisz playing

:27:33.:27:34.

this fantastically mysterious Is she the femme fatale

:27:35.:27:38.

or is she somebody who is being completely misread by

:27:39.:27:41.

everybody around her? What the film manages to do

:27:42.:27:43.

is to keep that ambiguity. It starts off as a "did

:27:44.:27:46.

she or didn't she?" And it is very clever

:27:47.:27:49.

because the film all the way through keeps you guessing

:27:50.:27:53.

as to its character's motives. Rachel Weisz said that what she did

:27:54.:27:55.

was she read the script, she decided for herself

:27:56.:27:59.

whether her character was "guilty" and she said to Roger Michell,

:28:00.:28:01.

the director, "I have decided," he said "don't tell me,

:28:02.:28:04.

I don't want to know, The film manages

:28:05.:28:07.

to keep that secret. I love what you have

:28:08.:28:10.

chosen as a DVD. Perhaps a little too understated,

:28:11.:28:15.

Loving, but fascinating. That was the criticism

:28:16.:28:17.

levelled against it. This is basically Ruth Negga -

:28:18.:28:19.

terrific performance. It's a story about a couple fighting

:28:20.:28:21.

racist laws to get married, and the understatement is actually

:28:22.:28:27.

the thing that makes it work. The key thing about the couple

:28:28.:28:30.

is they do not want to be They do not want to be

:28:31.:28:35.

people who are fighting They don't want to be

:28:36.:28:39.

the figureheads. They just want to be left alone

:28:40.:28:42.

to get on with what htey're doing. They're characters that

:28:43.:28:46.

you absolutely believe in. I love the understatement of it

:28:47.:28:50.

but I know that that's exactly the thing that had made some people

:28:51.:28:54.

think there's no huge grandstanding It all happened at a much

:28:55.:28:57.

more controlled level, and I just think that

:28:58.:29:01.

just add to its power. It is a remarkable

:29:02.:29:06.

piece, I have to say. Maybe I'll come down more

:29:07.:29:10.

on your side, to be fair. A reminder that you can find

kites of all shapes and sizes. I like the giraffe wobbling out

You need to have a whale. It seems to fit better ergonomically.

How do they not get tangled? A lot of space.

:33:20.:33:23.

You wouldn't want to get the tentacles tangled.

:33:24.:33:24.

Not deliberately. Let's talk about golf.

:33:25.:33:35.

Safer ground for you! Well done. Lots of kites to talk about. No

:33:36.:33:43.

golfers, not that we saw, but who knows? Some of them have some free

:33:44.:33:47.

time on their hands, maybe they should pop over to whether --

Fleetwood and Paul Casey are at the top of the leaderboard and Paul

:34:00.:34:01.

Casey said it was pretty cool sitting down to dinner, knowing he

:34:02.:34:05.

was on the leaderboard. I read somewhere that he has only made the

:34:06.:34:09.

cut once in a major tournament, is a pretty good going from him. So for

:34:10.:34:13.

the first time in about 30 years the world's top three golfers have

:34:14.:34:15.

failed to make the cut. While they were struggling,

:34:16.:34:19.

others were making light of the huge England's Paul Casey set the early

:34:20.:34:22.

pace, finishing on seven under. There he was joined by another

:34:23.:34:26.

Englishman Tommy Fleetwood. They are both part of a four-way

:34:27.:34:29.

tie for the lead with the Americans Brian Harman

:34:30.:34:32.

and Brooks Koepka. At least I know what's in there, it

:34:33.:34:41.

is just a matter of getting it out of me and getting myself in the

:34:42.:34:45.

right frame of mind. Yesterday, coming off the injury and a month

:34:46.:34:48.

off, I was anxious going out there. I got off to a good start at it sort

:34:49.:34:54.

of caught up with me as the runs went on and the more I can play

:34:55.:34:58.

hopefully I will get rid of all that stuff and hopefully strip it down to

:34:59.:35:00.

what you saw in the last six holes. For me it felt like it played

:35:01.:35:08.

tougher today. It doesn't need to be changed... Too much of a change of

:35:09.:35:12.

this golf course to play pretty difficult. If it stays like it is,

:35:13.:35:17.

with the wind, it will be treacherous on the weekend, which is

:35:18.:35:18.

just what I would like. Warren Gatland has called up four

:35:19.:35:22.

more Welsh players to join his Lions squad, a decision that's

:35:23.:35:26.

proved controversial. There are questions over

:35:27.:35:28.

whether the players have earned their place, or just happen

:35:29.:35:30.

to be touring New Zealand One of the Welsh players has been

:35:31.:35:33.

ruled out because of a back injury. This time next week we'll be gearing

:35:44.:35:47.

matches to go though. They'll kick off in a couple

:35:48.:35:51.

of hours in Rotorua in their biggest match of the tour so far

:35:52.:35:55.

against the Maori All Blacks. Yang mac, it has always been one of

:35:56.:36:02.

the I suppose unique sporting spectacles in world rugby. -- yeah.

:36:03.:36:10.

I suppose the world rugby aura that they talk about in New Zealand, that

:36:11.:36:18.

the Maoris bring, how important it is for the country, the players are

:36:19.:36:22.

proud to put that jersey on and represent, not just the people of

:36:23.:36:25.

New Zealand but they are owned tribes and where they are from.

:36:26.:36:27.

New Zealand warmed up for the first test next Saturday by running in 12

:36:28.:36:31.

tries against Samoa in a 78-0 win in Auckland.

:36:32.:36:35.

Rather ominously, ten different players crossed the whitewash

:36:36.:36:37.

England are playing New Zealand in their final match

:36:38.:36:41.

of the International Women's Rugby Series.

:36:42.:36:46.

Both sides went into the game with two wins each. It is midway through

:36:47.:36:54.

the second half and the Red Roses are winning 24- 14, thanks to a

:36:55.:36:59.

second-half try. If they can hold on and win, England will replace New

:37:00.:37:02.

Zealand as the number one side in the world.

:37:03.:37:03.

Scotland and Ireland are in action too this morning.

:37:04.:37:10.

Ireland are currently beating Japan 17-3.

:37:11.:37:11.

While in Sydney, Scotland are up against Australia.

:37:12.:37:14.

Scotland ahead, thanks to an early penalty from full-back

:37:15.:37:16.

And he and Allan Dell are both expected to be

:37:17.:37:24.

called up to the Lions squad after this game.

:37:25.:37:26.

Lots of live rugby this morning. We will be keeping you updated

:37:27.:37:31.

throughout the programme. Onto football.

:37:32.:37:33.

Could Cristiano Ronaldo be on his way back to the Premier

:37:34.:37:35.

A source close to the player has told the BBC that he wants to leave

:37:36.:37:40.

The former Manchester United forward has had an incredible few seasons

:37:41.:37:43.

for Real Madrid, winning three Champions Leagues

:37:44.:37:45.

and breaking all manner of goalscoring records,

:37:46.:37:47.

but he's been accused of tax fraud in Spain,

:37:48.:37:49.

an accusation that is making him consider his future in the country.

:37:50.:37:53.

Thanks to goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, England's Under-21s

:37:54.:37:58.

drew their opening match with Sweden at the European Championship,

:37:59.:38:04.

a day after completing a record ?30 million move to Everton.

:38:05.:38:07.

Pickford produced a vital penalty save with ten minutes remaining

:38:08.:38:10.

They face the hosts and Slovakia in their remaining group games.

:38:11.:38:16.

Well done Jordan Pickford, keeping England in that one!

:38:17.:38:18.

British Number One Johanna Konta will play in the semi finals

:38:19.:38:21.

at the Nottingham Open this afternoon

:38:22.:38:29.

as she overcame Australia's Ashleigh Barty in straights sets yesterday

:38:30.:38:31.

in her first tournament on home soil since breaking

:38:32.:38:34.

She'll play Slovakia's Magdalena Rybarikova for a place

:38:35.:38:41.

The Aegon Championships begin at Queen's on Monday

:38:42.:38:44.

with Andy Murray bidding for a record sixth title.

:38:45.:38:47.

The defending Wimbledon champion, who has spent nearly a year as World

:38:48.:38:50.

has admitted that time could be running out for him at the very top

:38:51.:38:54.

Some of the players have been doing really well into their mid- 30s, but

:38:55.:39:01.

that might not be the case with me. AB this next couple of years are the

:39:02.:39:05.

last few where I have a chance to compete for the majors and the

:39:06.:39:09.

biggest tournaments, so I do want to make the most of them.

:39:10.:39:12.

Nottinghamshire Outlaws have completed the highest successful run

:39:13.:39:14.

chase in limited overs cricket, chasing 371 to beat Essex Eagles

:39:15.:39:19.

in the semi final of the One Day Cup.

:39:20.:39:21.

Alastair Cook had made a century in Essex's mammoth

:39:22.:39:24.

total, but an unbeaten 122 from former England all rounder

:39:25.:39:27.

Samit Patel helped see Notts home with just three balls to spare,

:39:28.:39:30.

and that means they're into the Lord's final

:39:31.:39:32.

And the Queen's Birthday Honours have recognised a number of figures

:39:33.:39:39.

Double Olympic rowing champion Heather Stanning,

:39:40.:39:44.

who won her second gold with Helen Glover in Rio

:39:45.:39:47.

Lions prop Rory Best has also been made an OBE.

:39:48.:39:54.

The coach who guided Great Britain's women to hockey gold

:39:55.:39:58.

in Rio, Danny Kerry, has received an MBE,

:39:59.:40:02.

as has world superbike champion Jonathan Rae and Northern Ireland

:40:03.:40:05.

And Judy Murray has been made an OBE too.

:40:06.:40:10.

I've seen kind of first-hand that your role models, of course they are

:40:11.:40:18.

important and they inspire and excite, but any sport is only as

:40:19.:40:22.

good as its grassroots. So for me, four years ago I was so determined

:40:23.:40:25.

that there would be a long-term legacy from what Jamie and Andy have

:40:26.:40:30.

achieved in Scotland and so I set about creating these grass-roots

:40:31.:40:33.

programmes that I felt like I could have a much more long-term effect by

:40:34.:40:36.

sharing everything that I have learnt over my coaching career with

:40:37.:40:38.

as many people as I could. One of the hardest working people in

:40:39.:40:46.

tennis. I was just reminded that you are awarded an OBE. You aren't made

:40:47.:40:55.

an OBE. I will rewrite that one! That poor producer... I mean that

:40:56.:40:59.

kind of mood! Maybe this will soften you. You

:41:00.:41:01.

might enjoy this. Communities are coming together this

:41:02.:41:10.

weekend for street parties, picnics and barbecues.

:41:11.:41:12.

Just some of the events taking place this weekend to mark the first

:41:13.:41:16.

anniversary of the murder of the Labour MP Jo Cox.

:41:17.:41:20.

Called the Great Get Together, its been organised by her family.

:41:21.:41:23.

The idea is for friends, neighbours and others they don't yet

:41:24.:41:26.

know to spend time with each other in communities across the UK.

:41:27.:41:29.

One year ago yesterday, Jo Cox was a young MP with just 12 months

:41:30.:41:40.

experience as the member for her hometown. She was energetic, caring

:41:41.:41:48.

and passionate. A rising star with still so much to give. But that was

:41:49.:41:53.

all taken away in moments as she was brutally murdered just as she was

:41:54.:41:57.

about to hold a constituency surgery and meet people in need of help. In

:41:58.:42:02.

honour of her life and in keeping with her beliefs, there are more

:42:03.:42:07.

than 100,000 events taking place across the UK this weekend. Yards

:42:08.:42:12.

from the recent terror attacks at Borough market in London, Jo Cox's

:42:13.:42:18.

sister tells me why these events are so important. With the recent terror

:42:19.:42:23.

attacks, it brought it all back to us as a family. My mum found it

:42:24.:42:26.

particularly difficult. Families have been ripped apart and this

:42:27.:42:31.

isn't a way of healing that, but what it's a way of doing is saying,

:42:32.:42:35.

as a country and as a community, we are not going to be beaten by people

:42:36.:42:40.

who try to divide us. Because the vast majority of people are good and

:42:41.:42:43.

we've seen that in the past 12 months. There is such kindness in

:42:44.:42:47.

this country. And that small minority of people who want to

:42:48.:42:53.

change that, we can't let them win. Here in Bankside, a street party on

:42:54.:42:56.

Sunday will cater for more than 100 local people. The theme of the

:42:57.:43:01.

weekend is the Great Get Together. There is even a specially

:43:02.:43:06.

commissioned beer. In Birmingham, Christians and Muslims have come

:43:07.:43:10.

together to prepare and it the meal taken together at the end of a day's

:43:11.:43:18.

fasting during Ramadan. Irving is a really diverse city, but we don't

:43:19.:43:22.

often create opportunities to create -- cross paths or integrate is the

:43:23.:43:26.

Word on looking for. This is an opportunity for people from

:43:27.:43:31.

different walks of life, different faiths, to get together and

:43:32.:43:33.

hopefully have some conversations and some fun. As I said, I am a

:43:34.:43:42.

veteran and you are not! The Great Get Together, as it is known, in its

:43:43.:43:49.

simplest form is a celebration both of Jo Cox's life, of our own lives

:43:50.:43:54.

and communities. It is important in a city like Birmingham that we not

:43:55.:43:59.

only live side by side but we live lives that are connected and we know

:44:00.:44:03.

our neighbours in a deep way, that we can talk about things, understand

:44:04.:44:06.

each other's points of view. Although we are not trying to be the

:44:07.:44:12.

same, we have lots in common, as Jo so famously said. It's a way of

:44:13.:44:16.

understanding each other better and when you do that those prejudices

:44:17.:44:19.

aren't able to flourish because we realise the reality of each other's

:44:20.:44:23.

lives and those myths and stereotypes seemed to vanish,

:44:24.:44:27.

really. During her first speech in the House of Commons, Jo said, we

:44:28.:44:32.

have far more in common with each other than things that divide us.

:44:33.:44:36.

This weekend is potentially -- potentially millions of people from

:44:37.:44:40.

different generations, religions and backgrounds share time together and

:44:41.:44:43.

the words will be more pertinent than ever before.

:44:44.:44:51.

a wonderful way to remember her. The family have been quite so dignified

:44:52.:45:00.

and the same message that she put across. And just an idea of getting

:45:01.:45:07.

to know people and that we are more alike than we expect. I imagine that

:45:08.:45:12.

a lot of Simon Crean will be needed, Helen? Pretty much, yes. At this

:45:13.:45:21.

time of year we are not too far away from the longest days so the sun is

:45:22.:45:25.

strong but high levels of UV today and tomorrow again, across the

:45:26.:45:28.

southern half of the country you do not get that very often. Absolutely

:45:29.:45:33.

sun hats and long sleeves, those sort of things. Anything to stay

:45:34.:45:38.

safe in the sun. There will be plenty of it. This picture was sent

:45:39.:45:46.

in. The sunshine isn't universal this morning. Sunshine as well in

:45:47.:45:52.

London. There are a few areas that will mist out on sunshine today, the

:45:53.:45:57.

north-west of the UK but for most of us the weekend is warm, hot and

:45:58.:46:02.

humid, increasingly so. If you are out today and tomorrow the heat

:46:03.:46:08.

stress is a worry because hit by day and are hit by nine, continually I

:46:09.:46:13.

date, by not go -- night again, that will take its toll. These are the

:46:14.:46:21.

areas where we will not have a lot of sunshine. The rain is not heavy

:46:22.:46:25.

but comes and goes full. It spreads to the Northern Isles today as well

:46:26.:46:29.

which is where we had a decent day yesterday. East of the Grampians, I

:46:30.:46:37.

fine and dry weather. The north-west County scene cloud around. 28, 29,

:46:38.:46:44.

possibly 30, a little fresher around the coast because sea temperature is

:46:45.:46:49.

12 or 13 at the moment but the site is just as strong. High levels

:46:50.:46:56.

everywhere of UV where we see sunshine and high levels of pollen.

:46:57.:47:00.

If you are watching the golf, chances are we will seek

:47:01.:47:06.

temperatures similar in two hours in Wisconsin but with the added

:47:07.:47:08.

potential of thundery showers. Saturday night we keep the same dry

:47:09.:47:14.

clear whether. The difference tonight is the humidity, it is

:47:15.:47:19.

rising so it can be more uncomfortable. A quick look at

:47:20.:47:23.

tomorrow because it looks as if it will be a repeat performance.

:47:24.:47:26.

Weather again stagnating across northern Scotland. Open up your

:47:27.:47:31.

windows as much as possible tonight, I think. We will have all the

:47:32.:47:36.

headlines for you coming up at seven but now want breakfast it is time

:47:37.:47:42.

for Click. The team has gone to LA this week for a huge videogame show.

:47:43.:47:46.

It opened its doors to the public for the first time.

:47:47.:48:09.

All of which can only mean it is time for E3,

:48:10.:48:24.

the world's maddest video games expo,

:48:25.:48:25.

in the heart of downtown Los Angeles.

:48:26.:48:29.

This is where new games are launched and

:48:30.:48:31.

It is always big, loud and bright but this year,

:48:32.:48:37.

for the first time, it is not just open to those who work in the games

:48:38.:48:42.

15,000 members of the public have also been allowed in,

:48:43.:48:53.

each paying up to - get this - $250 for a ticket.

:48:54.:48:56.

How exciting it is, depends on whether the big console

:48:57.:49:03.

manufacturers have any big announcements or not.

:49:04.:49:05.

This year, Microsoft generated the most

:49:06.:49:07.

excitement by announcing a new console.

:49:08.:49:09.

And with that, Phil Spencer kicked off the Xbox E3 press event.

:49:10.:49:27.

It is a big year for Xbox as it announced a brand-new

:49:28.:49:30.

console, code-named Scorpio, is now called...

:49:31.:49:32.

Its high-end spec includes six teraflops of graphic performance.

:49:33.:49:42.

dynamic range visuals at 60 frames a second.

:49:43.:49:51.

As well as producing Dolby Atmos audio.

:49:52.:49:54.

All this adds up to a whole lot of horsepower for a console.

:49:55.:50:00.

It is being billed as the most powerful console ever,

:50:01.:50:03.

but is more computational grunt enough to shift Sony from its number

:50:04.:50:06.

In an attempt to do just that a parade

:50:07.:50:12.

of 4K resolution games assaulted the senses,

:50:13.:50:16.

including a peek at the latest addition to the popular

:50:17.:50:18.

Assassin's Creed series, Origins - this one set in Egypt.

:50:19.:50:28.

The Expendable's Terry Crews brings the smack down to Crackdown 3.

:50:29.:50:34.

Open World smashed everything in sight, destructo-fest.

:50:35.:50:39.

As well as family-friendly platform Super Luckey's Tale.

:50:40.:50:44.

These games will play on the old Xbox One

:50:45.:50:48.

and will play with 4K graphic enhancement on the Xbox One X.

:50:49.:50:51.

Leading that 4K charge with the new machine,

:50:52.:50:56.

racer Forza Motorsport 7 and Anthem, a new sci-fi exosuit game

:50:57.:51:02.

One of the few games where high-end lighting effects do not seem

:51:03.:51:14.

A strong line-up then for the new Xbox.

:51:15.:51:20.

Very little in the way of fan favourites and

:51:21.:51:31.

We were able to fill this arena with great games, without even bringing

:51:32.:51:52.

two of the biggest Franchises here. The most powerful console

:51:53.:51:59.

that Microsoft has Smaller than the old

:52:00.:52:02.

machine, the Xbox one S. And we know it is released

:52:03.:52:08.

on November seven. We do not know what

:52:09.:52:13.

games are like when you actually power the machine up,

:52:14.:52:16.

grab hold of the controller and play To find that out,

:52:17.:52:19.

I have to go over there. OK, now you may think

:52:20.:52:31.

that my driving here is a little scrappy but there is

:52:32.:52:34.

method to my madness. By damaging the car I can see

:52:35.:52:36.

the additional level of detail A smorgasbord of different weather

:52:37.:52:39.

effects going on here. All of them showing what this

:52:40.:52:45.

machine is capable of. The first time I played

:52:46.:52:50.

a game on the new Xbox One X and I just played

:52:51.:52:53.

Forza Motorsport 7. The most recognisable of all titles

:52:54.:52:56.

will be launched with this machine The beautiful game to look

:52:57.:52:59.

at and as you expect, But there is more to this

:53:00.:53:08.

than just incredible I received a challenge recently,

:53:09.:53:11.

come and play me, at Killer It didn't say "if you dare",

:53:12.:53:32.

but it might as well have done, because, as it turns out,

:53:33.:53:36.

Ben is somewhat of a combat expert. Ben has just taken me out

:53:37.:53:39.

in about 20 seconds. I could have done it quicker

:53:40.:53:54.

than that if I didn't screw We're playing Killer Instinct,

:53:55.:53:58.

a five-year-old combat game. It's a big eSports title

:53:59.:54:03.

with players competing for millions of dollars each year,

:54:04.:54:06.

but it's not only its popularity So there, Kathleen has blocked low

:54:07.:54:08.

and the only reason I know she blocked low is because I heard

:54:09.:54:14.

that sound, that you heard there. Ben is relying on his hearing

:54:15.:54:18.

because he's blind, which makes his win

:54:19.:54:20.

even more impressive. If you throw a fireball...it travels

:54:21.:54:27.

and that rather satisfying connection sound at the other end

:54:28.:54:30.

when it hits the opponent. When I say, do you realise you're

:54:31.:54:35.

fighting a guy who can't see, they are like, no, I did not

:54:36.:54:38.

realise that at all. And that starts conversations

:54:39.:54:42.

in itself about how games And you're passionate about taking

:54:43.:54:48.

that conversation further now? I think it needs to go further

:54:49.:54:52.

because gamers without sight Things like being able

:54:53.:54:55.

to tell your friendly team and your enemy team apart,

:54:56.:55:01.

so different footsteps. Audio only games have been around

:55:02.:55:06.

for many years and it's only now that sound designers

:55:07.:55:12.

are beginning to harness On the Web, a screen reader

:55:13.:55:15.

speaks out the options. It took years of the internet before

:55:16.:55:33.

accessibility features like this became commonplace and

:55:34.:55:36.

it's still not 100%. And as for games consoles,

:55:37.:55:38.

currently blind gamers have That's where the real big barrier

:55:39.:55:40.

is - the middleware. The tools people use to make games

:55:41.:55:45.

aren't compatible with the software that can be used to

:55:46.:55:48.

operate technology. So if that barrier could be solved

:55:49.:55:50.

then we would see a big increase in the amount of blind

:55:51.:55:54.

accessible games there are. Ian Hamilton has produced

:55:55.:55:56.

accessibility guidelines His mission is to make

:55:57.:55:59.

gaming more inclusive. Accessibility's job will be

:56:00.:56:03.

done when people stop There's always going to be some

:56:04.:56:05.

new barrier that needs Ian has been working

:56:06.:56:11.

with people like Ben for years, but it is really down to the console

:56:12.:56:17.

makers now to bring about change. We need to be sure the games

:56:18.:56:21.

and consoles we build are accessible to any kind of player,

:56:22.:56:25.

whether it's someone who has sight We're working with APIs,

:56:26.:56:27.

with our controller. We announced copilot mode,

:56:28.:56:30.

where people can use two controls to play one version of the game,

:56:31.:56:33.

so if someone can't use Microsoft is really leading the way

:56:34.:56:36.

when it comes to accessibility They've released a new

:56:37.:56:41.

text-to-speech API, which means for the first time in-game

:56:42.:56:46.

menus will be read out. Let's see what Ben

:56:47.:56:51.

thinks about this news. If other developers,

:56:52.:56:55.

like Sony and Nintendo, anybody else, want to make

:56:56.:56:58.

their content more accessible using in-game menus and spoken UI

:56:59.:57:00.

elements, that's brilliant. If I can go in and buy a game

:57:01.:57:04.

without have to worry about how much I'm paying for it,

which features an innovative use of his athletic abilities

:57:50.:57:52.

and his web slinging. And, unlike Xbox, who didn't even

:57:53.:57:57.

mention VR, PlayStation renewed its commitment

at the moment with its PS4 But, with the superpowerful

:58:36.:58:40.

Xbox One X on the horizon, will things like VR help Sony

:58:41.:58:44.

to maintain its lead? I think that over the long-term it

:58:45.:58:50.

really is an opportunity to create a new entertainment medium,

:58:51.:58:57.

but I do stress that it's I think in the last six months

very raw. You can see tributes being paid to those who are lost, missing,

Emotion is still extremely raw here and you can just see where we are is

the kids were getting angry because no one

is communicating what's going on. There is no co-ordination

to help those affected, promising to rehome everyone and get

to the bottom of what happened. But with so many still missing,

:04:33.:04:35.

others dead or feared dead, the questions keep growing,

:04:36.:04:38.

but the answers are simply not Well, that's it. There are so many

:04:39.:04:56.

questions still to be answered and that's why three investigations

:04:57.:04:59.

currently ongoing. One by the fire service to find out exactly how this

:05:00.:05:04.

fire started and why it spread so quickly, another investigation, a

:05:05.:05:08.

criminal investigation, has been launched by police to find out who,

:05:09.:05:11.

if anyone, is responsible and whether all safety checks were

:05:12.:05:16.

carried out and of course a public enquiry launched by the Prime

:05:17.:05:20.

Minister, who says she wants to get to the bottom of exactly what

:05:21.:05:23.

happened. So far it's believed the 70 people are either dead or still

missing, but those figures can only be confident once firefighters can

:05:44.:05:46.

correspondent Emma Vardy. What do we do about the response

:05:47.:05:58.

from Theresa May? There was hostility and perhaps Theresa May's

:05:59.:06:02.

presence yesterday may have stirred up anger even more in what was

:06:03.:06:05.

already an emotionally charged situation. We saw growing

:06:06.:06:09.

frustration from the crowd as she left and there were cries of "shame

:06:10.:06:18.

on you". Per response has been to underline the ?5 million of

:06:19.:06:20.

emergency funding that's been made available. -- per response. She

:06:21.:06:24.

spoke about her empathy with the terrible trauma people suffered, but

:06:25.:06:28.

she failed to address the direct question about whether she herself

:06:29.:06:32.

has been able to strike the right emotional chord with people through

:06:33.:06:35.

this. She was especially pressed on her own response to the growing

:06:36.:06:40.

public anger. This is an absolutely awful fire that took place. People

:06:41.:06:45.

have lost their lives. People have had their homes destroyed. They have

:06:46.:06:49.

fled for their lives with absolutely nothing. Do you accept that you

:06:50.:06:56.

misread the public mood on this one? You misread the anger that people

:06:57.:07:01.

feel about this. They shouted coward at you today when you left the

:07:02.:07:08.

church. What I have done since this incident took place is yesterday I

:07:09.:07:11.

made sure the public services have the support that they needed in

:07:12.:07:15.

order to be able to do the job they were doing in the immediate

:07:16.:07:18.

aftermath. But that's three days on. This is Friday evening. They needed

:07:19.:07:22.

those things in place on Wednesday. There were people we spoke to who

:07:23.:07:27.

were housed for one night, didn't know where they would spend the next

:07:28.:07:32.

night, had no money for food and were not told by anyone. What I have

:07:33.:07:37.

done today is ensured that we are, as a government, putting that

:07:38.:07:41.

funding in place for people in the area.

:07:42.:07:46.

Well, the government has said this morning it is determined to build

:07:47.:07:49.

trust with survivors in a more conciliatory tone, reaching out to

:07:50.:07:53.

people today. But this continues to be a major test for Theresa May

:07:54.:07:57.

under the most desperate of circumstances. And a lot of people

:07:58.:08:01.

highlighting the apparent contrast in response that we had from the

:08:02.:08:05.

Prime Minister and the pictures of the Queen visiting yesterday. We

:08:06.:08:09.

also had a statement from the Queen yesterday. She says the country has

:08:10.:08:14.

been resolute in the face of adversity, highlighting not just the

:08:15.:08:17.

tragedy in London at Grenfell Tower, what also the terror attacks in

:08:18.:08:25.

Manchester and London. She said it was difficult to escape a very

:08:26.:08:28.

sombre national mood and in recent months the country had experienced a

:08:29.:08:32.

succession of national tragedies. She says, we continue to pray for

:08:33.:08:35.

those who have been directly affected by these events.

:08:36.:08:36.

Rupert Wingfield-Hayes said questions are being raised over how

the incident happened. It's very unusual and very serious

the coast of Japan? It's a very busy part of the sea,

all. Local Labour Councillor Robert

:14:01.:14:06.

Atkinson joins us now Thank you very much for your time

:14:07.:14:15.

this morning. I don't know if you are able to hear much of that

:14:16.:14:21.

report. I was. Let me ask your reaction and ask who you have been

:14:22.:14:26.

speaking to in the area. This is my ward, so to see a terrible fire

:14:27.:14:33.

happened, I have been speaking to people and seeking to get out

:14:34.:14:39.

information. The lack of leadership and the lack of communications is

:14:40.:14:41.

all making the situation infinitely worse. What more do you want?

:14:42.:14:47.

Theresa May has announced there will be ?5 million put towards re- homing

:14:48.:14:54.

and rehousing people. It's not just a of money, which has come along

:14:55.:14:59.

belatedly. Kensington and Chelsea, as everyone knows, is a wealthy

:15:00.:15:04.

council and one of the few that does have money. Right at the beginning

:15:05.:15:08.

of the crisis I was told we would spend money, we still have people

:15:09.:15:17.

sleeping on Jim floors, -- gym floors, the victims have not been

:15:18.:15:22.

supported. Hence the demonstrations, hence the absolutely correct fuel we

:15:23.:15:30.

on behalf of residence, which has spilt over and that's making the

:15:31.:15:33.

situation worse because the attack on the town hall yesterday stopped

:15:34.:15:38.

important work happening in counselling children, in redeploying

:15:39.:15:45.

the schools and in a very difficult task of housing people. As a ward

:15:46.:15:51.

councillor, how many of those protesters were agitated or joined

:15:52.:15:59.

by Taiwan to say hi to activists. People staring up and further

:16:00.:16:05.

politicise this? I did the people who have genuine cause for anger,

:16:06.:16:11.

who have genuine... Who have suffered losses. I recognised some

:16:12.:16:18.

people from my community. I also saw other people who are not from the

:16:19.:16:22.

area and who are not helping the situation. As I say, the leadership

:16:23.:16:27.

from the council has been poor, but smashing up the town hall made this

:16:28.:16:31.

an even worse and I'm not sure it has been reported in the media. It

:16:32.:16:35.

led to the evacuation and closure of the town hall. So the important work

:16:36.:16:38.

of housing people and making arrangements for schoolchildren came

:16:39.:16:42.

to... Was halted yesterday because of this.

:16:43.:16:47.

What would you like to see from central and local government now?

:16:48.:16:54.

What do you need? Give me your wish list. I would like the council

:16:55.:17:03.

leadership, as the residents and protesters have been saying, I would

:17:04.:17:07.

like the leadership to spend more time in the immediate area talking

:17:08.:17:12.

to residents and explaining to them or what measures are being taken and

:17:13.:17:15.

giving a timescale of when people will be assisted. The Prime Minister

:17:16.:17:22.

has said that the aim is to rehouse everyone affected in the next three

:17:23.:17:26.

weeks and that ?5 million is being put towards this. I would say ?5

:17:27.:17:31.

million announced on Friday afternoon in a panic if too Little,

:17:32.:17:35.

too late. The commitment and support from the Central government should

:17:36.:17:39.

have come earlier in the week when the scale of the tragedy first

:17:40.:17:43.

became apparent. What the Prime Minister should be doing is making

:17:44.:17:48.

sure that the tower blocks in other parts of the country are also given

:17:49.:17:52.

money and support by central government. Central government needs

:17:53.:17:57.

to answer the questions as to why the investigation and reports that

:17:58.:18:03.

have happened in the past over similar fires in tower blocks have

:18:04.:18:08.

not... Because the building regulations made by coroners have

:18:09.:18:13.

not been implemented. So government, national government has also been

:18:14.:18:16.

slow to deal with this terrible situation. Labour councillor for

:18:17.:18:22.

Kensington and Chelsea. Thank you very much for your time here. Just

:18:23.:18:29.

after quarter past eight and we will discuss this further with the first

:18:30.:18:34.

Secretary of State. Time to check now on the weather for the weekend.

:18:35.:18:36.

Helen has the details for us. I was asked a little bit earlier if

:18:37.:18:45.

the sunshine was universal across the UK. As you can see from this

:18:46.:18:49.

picture, there was more cloud across Northern Ireland Scotland also

:18:50.:18:53.

across Cumbria in the south-west. It will burn away quickly but this is

:18:54.:18:58.

how it looks, for example, in Cumbria. A little grey in some areas

:18:59.:19:03.

but the sunshine will come through and, unusually, with some very high

:19:04.:19:07.

levels of UV stretching right the way up into northern England. That

:19:08.:19:11.

is quite an unusual and high levels where ever we do see some today.

:19:12.:19:14.

Unfortunately for those with hayfever, high levels of pollen all

:19:15.:19:21.

the way up to Scotland. That is the bad news, really, if you are handing

:19:22.:19:28.

-- heading out to watch trooping the colour, be aware of the strength of

:19:29.:19:32.

the sun and levels of pollen. If you do enjoy sunshine, there is plenty

:19:33.:19:37.

of it to be found. Except in the north-west of Scotland. Year in the

:19:38.:19:40.

Highlands and Islands it will be another day of risk south-westerly

:19:41.:19:46.

winds driving in Cloud, thick cloud, low cloud and hill fog, not a day to

:19:47.:19:51.

go out walking. It will be misty and murky. Today will stretch across

:19:52.:19:56.

into the Northern Isles were was sunny yesterday but Easter the

:19:57.:19:58.

Grampians, pleasant sunshine around across much of Northern Ireland away

:19:59.:20:02.

from the north-west. Temperatures yesterday, low 20s and today, mid-to

:20:03.:20:09.

high 20s. A big leap up, actually and we could potentially see 30

:20:10.:20:12.

degrees, which would make the warmest day of the year so far. Even

:20:13.:20:16.

if we don't, tomorrow we certainly well. Would keep the weather front

:20:17.:20:23.

in the north so humid and warm night but for most of us it will be an

:20:24.:20:27.

increasing humidity which will make it feel more uncomfortable than last

:20:28.:20:30.

night, particular across southern and eastern parts of the UK and that

:20:31.:20:34.

will be a trend overcoming nights as well. Otherwise Sunday is a repeat

:20:35.:20:38.

performance. Misty low cloud and a few places but will not last long.

:20:39.:20:41.

The north-west Scotland, Northern Isles again it will be plagued by

:20:42.:20:46.

that weather front. But for many, temperatures are responding to that

:20:47.:20:51.

very strong sunshine again, 13, 32 potentially tomorrow and it lasts

:20:52.:20:55.

into the beginning of next week as well. So very warm and hot, fresh

:20:56.:21:01.

around the post but even if it is fresh, 16 around the coast, the

:21:02.:21:04.

sunshine will still be very strong indeed. Thank you for answering our

:21:05.:21:17.

questions. Even now we were paying no attention I did! I was paying

:21:18.:21:23.

attention. I think most people will enjoy this, don't you? Just a few

:21:24.:21:27.

will find it stifling. I think so. Particularly in the cities where it

:21:28.:21:29.

gets quite hot. The Queen's birthday honours

there algebra? I have no intention of going there. Billy Connolly has

:21:56.:22:01.

received a knighthood, something shortly to a strong response from

:22:02.:22:05.

fans. I think there will be a big reaction. Some of them will say high

:22:06.:22:11.

time and some of them will say what the hell is that all about?! I don't

:22:12.:22:19.

know what to prepare for. I am a little embarrassed but deep within

:22:20.:22:23.

me I'm quite pleased. Julie Walters becomes a game. As does 100-year-old

proud to be honoured. The same honour as well or Terry and June and

absolutely fabulous's June Whitfield. Inside of me there is a

:22:45.:22:48.

thin person just screaming to get out. Just the one, dear? I am still

:22:49.:22:56.

in shock, really. But it is wonderful to know that, you know,

:22:57.:23:01.

people have been good enough to appreciate what I have done. Writer

tribute to his fellow flight crews. I am lucky, I am still alive. I

represent the squadron. The squadron has been honoured with this, not me.

:25:35.:25:40.

He is one of over a thousand people being honoured. Such different

:25:41.:25:50.

stories but all with one thing in common, of service of contribution.

:25:51.:25:54.

And it is lovely to see them recognised. Five minutes plus seven.

:25:55.:25:59.

We have had a debate in the office this morning about orienteering.

:26:00.:26:03.

There is one school that is as absolutely, it is great. There is

:26:04.:26:06.

another school that says so boring! So boring! It is a mix. You are

:26:07.:26:13.

outside, you have a mental challenge and a physical challenge. It's

:26:14.:26:19.

perfect. Well, it is 50 years old. British orienteering is celebrating

:26:20.:26:22.

its 50th anniversary this weekend so we took the plunge. Let's see what

:26:23.:26:24.

Mike Ford about it. Once upon a time you could only find

:26:25.:26:31.

them in the countryside. But now they are popping up in cities as

:26:32.:26:36.

well. And on the search for them, some of Britain's 10,000 orienteers.

:26:37.:26:41.

It's a race against the clock around the court using a map you are given

:26:42.:26:46.

at the start. The idea, really, is to get from the start here which is

:26:47.:26:52.

shown by a triangle, to the finish, visiting all of these points. The

:26:53.:26:57.

aim is to go as fast as you can. So a star of 1.5 kilometres. The

:26:58.:27:03.

control point to getting more challenging because of the

:27:04.:27:06.

buildings, it is a jungle out there. It has made the sport a lot quicker.

:27:07.:27:11.

Taken it out of for grace and moved it into a whole new area where it's

:27:12.:27:15.

all about speed, the speed of running and the speed of making your

:27:16.:27:19.

mind up about where you will go. Where do you want to go? This way?

:27:20.:27:28.

So alongside that building, it's more about the map reading rather

:27:29.:27:32.

than the running, isn't it? It is. We've got it! Number two! Is not

:27:33.:27:37.

just about being the fastest runner but more importantly reading my new

:27:38.:27:40.

details on the map correctly. It's closed. You can see here we have

:27:47.:27:50.

Somewhere there there is a tiny fence. As he got it? And don't think

:27:51.:27:55.

you can just follows the others either. Oh, no, he has a football.

:27:56.:27:59.

Sorry, I thought you were looking for a control point. You have to be

:28:00.:28:04.

alert. The best people can read the map as they move. This kid seems to

not just about getting lost in a forest. You don't need a compass,

:28:32.:28:36.

you do not need to be fit, you do not need to be sporty. You can do it

:28:37.:28:40.

with family, with friends or by yourself and you can come and do it

:28:41.:28:44.

like this we may not think you can come and try it. The British team

It did look like a lot of fun. I plan to convert everybody over the

With its optimal wind conditions and 700 metre long beach

:33:03.:33:04.

the island is perfect for flying kites of all shapes and sizes.

:33:05.:33:16.

Pretty impressive that the octopus doesn't get tangled. Very well

:33:17.:33:20.

organised. I can tell.

:33:21.:33:26.

Do you want to do your impression of an octopus again?

:33:27.:33:30.

That wasn't an impression... There's no stop to your talents!

:33:31.:33:37.

Let's find out what's happening in the sport. From an octopus to the

:33:38.:33:46.

Lions. A week today we will be talking about their first big test

:33:47.:33:51.

against the All Blacks. It is another huge morning of live rugby.

:33:52.:33:56.

Scotland claim Australia, England's women are playing New Zealand. Let's

:33:57.:33:58.

get into the rugby. As I say, this time next week we'll

:33:59.:34:02.

be gearing up for the British and Irish Lions

:34:03.:34:05.

first test against New Zealand. They've two final warm up

:34:06.:34:08.

matches to go though. In one hour they'll kick

:34:09.:34:10.

off their biggest match of the tour Katie Gornall joins

:34:11.:34:13.

us live from Rotorua. Lovely to see you. How are they

:34:14.:34:25.

doing so far on the tour of New Zealand? Yes, this is often referred

:34:26.:34:31.

to as the fourth test, such is the calibre and passion of the

:34:32.:34:35.

opposition. That's kind of menace for the Lions. Two wins and two

:34:36.:34:45.

defeats. Warren Gatland named what is as close as possible as we think

:34:46.:34:49.

to a starting 15 here. Remember, Owen Farrell, the star fly half, is

:34:50.:34:55.

already out with an injury. Sam Warburton has been named. Jonny

:34:56.:35:01.

Sexton is number 1080 hasn't been at his best throughout the tour. A bit

:35:02.:35:06.

of pressure on him. This is huge for the Lions. Not just for them but

:35:07.:35:13.

also for morale. A lot of people talking about this game here as

:35:14.:35:20.

potentially... INAUDIBLE. A lot of people talking about a few new call

:35:21.:35:27.

ups. They call up for four new Welsh players has lots of people talking

:35:28.:35:30.

and it has been fairly controversial? It has. We heard the

:35:31.:35:39.

news about one hour ago that a Welshman has had to pull out because

:35:40.:35:43.

of a back injury. No direct replacement for him, but Warren

:35:44.:35:48.

Gatland already called up four Welsh players. It just means that none of

:35:49.:35:56.

the test players will play in the two games. It is logistically

:35:57.:36:00.

difficult for him because Wales played last night in Auckland, so

:36:01.:36:04.

all of these players are in the same time zone. But it has been the

:36:05.:36:07.

subject of some controversy because those for players, the majority of

:36:08.:36:11.

them would have been nowhere near the Lyons-- Lions' test squad when

:36:12.:36:20.

it was first announced. Eddie Jones says he thinks players should be

:36:21.:36:23.

picked on merit, not geography, and that has caused the debate around

:36:24.:36:29.

here. Whether that devalues the Lions in some way, but I am sure

:36:30.:36:35.

Warren Gatland will be asked about that. We will have to see what he

:36:36.:36:39.

says afterwards. And we've already had a good game and a really good

:36:40.:36:50.

result for England's women? It is a cracking game. It was here on the

:36:51.:36:56.

pitch in the stadium. INAUDIBLE... If it's anything like the match we

:36:57.:37:00.

have seen them we are in for a real treat. England are the world

:37:01.:37:05.

champions. New Zealand, they are the number-1 ranked team in the world.

:37:06.:37:08.

Little to separate them the first half. It set off at a fantastic

:37:09.:37:14.

pace. 14- 14 at the break. At after the break England started to pull

:37:15.:37:18.

away. Too much power for the New Zealand team. It finished 29- 21 to

:37:19.:37:23.

England, their first win here since 2001. The way they celebrated, you

:37:24.:37:29.

could understand how much it means for them. They win the international

:37:30.:37:32.

women's series, which is a warmup for the World Cup. Fantastic news

:37:33.:37:36.

for England. The World Cup in Ireland is just around the corner,

:37:37.:37:40.

in August, and they are in good shape for that. Thank you very much

:37:41.:37:43.

for bringing us up to date. Later when we know what the

:37:44.:37:47.

result is for the Lions in that match against the Maori All Blacks.

:37:48.:37:53.

Apologies for the break up spare. But you could understand what she

:37:54.:37:57.

was saying. Her news coming from a long way away.

:37:58.:37:58.

It also looks likely that Scottish pair Finn Russell and Allan Dell

:37:59.:38:01.

are going to join up with the Lions squad too.

:38:02.:38:04.

They're both currently in action this morning in Sydney

:38:05.:38:07.

and it's been a thrilling contest so far between

:38:08.:38:09.

And Russell has been amongst the scorers.

:38:10.:38:14.

For the first time since World Rankings began,

:38:15.:38:25.

in 1986, the world's top three golfers have missed the cut

:38:26.:38:29.

Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy and Jason Day are all out of the US

:38:30.:38:33.

While they were struggling, others were making light of the huge

:38:34.:38:39.

England's Paul Casey set the early pace, finishing on seven under.

:38:40.:38:43.

There he was joined by another Englishman, Tommy Fleetwood.

:38:44.:38:50.

They are both part of a four-way tie for the lead,

:38:51.:38:53.

with the Americans Brian Harman and Brooks Koepka.

:38:54.:38:55.

At least I know what's in there, it's just a matter of getting it out

:38:56.:38:59.

of me and getting myself in the right frame of mind.

:39:00.:39:02.

Yesterday, coming off the injury and a month off,

:39:03.:39:05.

I got off to a good start, but it sort of caught up with me

:39:06.:39:11.

But the more rounds I play, hopefully I'll get rid of all that

:39:12.:39:16.

stuff and hopefully strip it down to what you saw

:39:17.:39:18.

For me it felt like it played tougher today.

:39:19.:39:22.

..too much of a change for this golf course

:39:23.:39:28.

If it stays like it is, with the wind, it will be

:39:29.:39:32.

treacherous on the weekend, which is just what I and most

:39:33.:39:35.

Football and could Cristiano Ronaldo be on his way back to the Premier

:39:36.:39:43.

A source close to the player has told the BBC that he wants to leave

:39:44.:39:47.

The former Manchester United forward has had an incredible few seasons

:39:48.:39:50.

for Real, winning three Champions Leagues

:39:51.:39:52.

and breaking all manner of goalscoring records,

:39:53.:39:54.

but he's been accused of tax fraud in Spain,

:39:55.:39:56.

an accusation that is making him consider his future in the country.

:39:57.:40:02.

Thanks to goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, England's Under-21s

:40:03.:40:04.

drew their opening match with Sweden at the European Championship,

:40:05.:40:07.

a day after completing a record ?30 million move to Everton.

:40:08.:40:16.

Pickford produced this penalty save with about ten minutes

:40:17.:40:19.

remaining, to help England draw 0-0 in Poland.

:40:20.:40:21.

They face the hosts and Slovakia in their remaining group games.

:40:22.:40:27.

A vital save there from Jordan Pickford.

:40:28.:40:29.

Johanna Konta will play in the semi finals

:40:30.:40:31.

at the Nottingham Open this afternoon

:40:32.:40:33.

as she overcame Australia's Ashleigh Barty in straights sets yesterday

:40:34.:40:35.

in her first tournament on home soil since breaking

:40:36.:40:38.

She'll play Slovakia's Magdalena Rybarikova for a place

:40:39.:40:41.

The Aegon Championships begin at Queen's on Monday

:40:42.:40:44.

with Andy Murray bidding for a record sixth title.

:40:45.:40:51.

The defending Wimbledon champion, who has spent nearly a year as World

:40:52.:40:55.

has admitted that time could be running out for him at the very top

:40:56.:40:59.

I know some of the players have been doing really well

:41:00.:41:03.

into their mid-30s, recently, but that might not be

:41:04.:41:05.

It might...maybe these next couple of years are the last few

:41:06.:41:12.

where I have a chance to compete for the majors and the biggest

:41:13.:41:16.

tournaments, so I do want to make the most of them.

:41:17.:41:19.

Leeds Rhinos are into the semi finals of Rugby League's challenge

:41:20.:41:22.

Cup after thrashing Featherstone Rovers 58-0.

:41:23.:41:23.

Leeds are a step closer to winning the competition for a third time

:41:24.:41:27.

in four years, running in ten tries against their Championship

:41:28.:41:30.

In Super League, Huddersfield beat St Helens.

:41:31.:41:38.

Nottinghamshire Outlaws have completed the highest successful run

:41:39.:41:40.

chase in limited overs cricket, chasing 371 to beat Essex Eagles

:41:41.:41:43.

in the semi final of the One Day Cup.

:41:44.:41:46.

Alastair Cook had made a century in Essex's mammoth

:41:47.:41:48.

total, but an unbeaten 122 from former England all rounder

:41:49.:41:51.

Samit Patel helped see Notts home with just three balls to spare,

:41:52.:41:54.

and that means they're into the Lord's final

:41:55.:41:57.

And the Queen's Birthday Honours have recognised a number of figures

:41:58.:42:05.

Double Olympic rowing champion Heather Stanning,

:42:06.:42:08.

who won her second gold with Helen Glover in Rio

:42:09.:42:11.

Lions prop Rory Best has also been made an OBE.

:42:12.:42:18.

The coach who guided Great Britain's women to hockey gold

:42:19.:42:20.

in Rio, Danny Kerry, has received an MBE,

:42:21.:42:23.

as has world superbike champion Jonathan Rae and Northern Ireland

:42:24.:42:26.

I've seen kind of first-hand that your role models,

:42:27.:42:41.

of course they are important and they inspire and excite,

:42:42.:42:44.

but any sport is only as good as its grassroots.

:42:45.:42:46.

So for me, four years ago I was so determined

:42:47.:42:49.

that there would be a long-term legacy from what Jamie and Andy have

:42:50.:42:53.

achieved in Scotland and so I set about creating these grass-roots

:42:54.:42:56.

programmes that I felt like I could have a much more

:42:57.:42:59.

long-term effect by sharing everything that I have learnt

:43:00.:43:01.

over my coaching career with as many people as I could.

:43:02.:43:05.

We usually only see Judy Murray chewing her fingernails, especially

:43:06.:43:14.

at Wimbledon! But she works so hard out on the road, taking tennis into

:43:15.:43:18.

schools and making sure young kids are going out on the court.

:43:19.:43:23.

What you think is better, OBE or Olympic gold?

:43:24.:43:26.

Olympic gold. You've thought about that!

:43:27.:43:30.

I think Olympic gold is what you put the work into. An OBE is a nice

:43:31.:43:38.

result. Another of the lovely accolades you get for all of that

:43:39.:43:42.

hard work and for being the very best in the world.

:43:43.:43:45.

Incredible, both. Thank you.

:43:46.:43:50.

It will be a lovely sunny day today for most people.

:43:51.:43:56.

Not everybody, because a few of you have got in touch to say it is

:43:57.:44:00.

cloudy and grey where you are. Some people say that's good news.

:44:01.:44:03.

You don't need to say sorry, Helen can say sorry.

:44:04.:44:07.

If you were listening to her earlier she said it wouldn't be sunny

:44:08.:44:11.

everywhere! -- would be. I did. It's not sunny everywhere

:44:12.:44:18.

this morning. But some of you who are waking up to grey skies perhaps

:44:19.:44:21.

in the south-west of Wales and Cumbria, that cloud should go,

:44:22.:44:25.

especially across Wales and the south-west. This cloud across

:44:26.:44:29.

Scotland is a weather front and is meandering around the west of

:44:30.:44:32.

Scotland and Northern Ireland. This is how it looked in Cumbria about

:44:33.:44:36.

half an hour ago. We have great cloud around but it is on the way

:44:37.:44:40.

out. We have sunshine for many, for the majority. As I've been

:44:41.:44:44.

mentioning this morning, very unusually high levels of UV. That's

:44:45.:44:51.

up to eight in northern England very often in this country.

:44:52.:44:54.

Unfortunately, if you suffer from hay fever, very high levels of

:44:55.:44:59.

pollen with us up to the Scottish Borders. So some warnings to start

:45:00.:45:03.

with. For many it will be very enjoyable. Our first extended normal

:45:04.:45:08.

spell of hot and sunny weather this season. We should have it for three

:45:09.:45:13.

or four days, except under this weather front in the north. It is

:45:14.:45:16.

the Highlands of Scotland in particular. Today the Northern Isles

:45:17.:45:20.

joining in with that cloud because yesterday we had sunshine here. 23-

:45:21.:45:29.

25 in Scotland and Northern Ireland and around the coast, if you find

:45:30.:45:34.

these temperatures stifling, more like 20- 21 around the coast,

:45:35.:45:39.

records the temperatures still low, about 12- 13, setting in motion a

:45:40.:45:44.

refreshing sea breeze. It even around the coast where it is only

:45:45.:45:47.

about 21 degrees the sunshine is still as strong as when it is 28- 29

:45:48.:45:52.

inland, which catches a few people out. More likely to get burnt. The

:45:53.:45:57.

changes as the temperatures don't drop much overnight and it will be

:45:58.:46:00.

uncomfortable for sleeping, especially in southern and eastern

:46:01.:46:04.

areas, as the humidity rises. That will progress northwards. You don't

:46:05.:46:10.

get any relief by night if you don't like the heat. Tomorrow it is pretty

:46:11.:46:14.

much the same. If anything, less cloud around and misting us in the

:46:15.:46:17.

morning and we've still got the weather front plaguing the

:46:18.:46:21.

north-west of Scotland. Elsewhere, temperatures respond to the strong

:46:22.:46:24.

sunshine. If anything they will be higher than today. We should break

:46:25.:46:29.

30 degrees tomorrow, which will be the first time this year. That warm

:46:30.:46:33.

and hot weather is increasingly humid and it won't just be for this

:46:34.:46:38.

weekend. It does continue into the beginning of next week. Especially

:46:39.:46:42.

across England and Wales. However, even further north it is only slowly

:46:43.:46:45.

starting to cool down. Thank you very much. Now it is time

:46:46.:46:58.

for news watch. We are looking at the coverage of the general election

:46:59.:46:59.

and the coverage of the tower fire. Hello and welcome to Newswatch

:47:00.:47:03.

with me Samira Ahmed. Praise but also concerns about how

:47:04.:47:06.

BBC News reported the terrible And was the general election result

:47:07.:47:09.

wrongly presented as a disaster for the Conservatives

:47:10.:47:17.

and a triumph for Labour? There have been many shocking

:47:18.:47:26.

and distressing images on the news recently and Tuesday night's fire

:47:27.:47:29.

which engulfed a west London block The following morning

:47:30.:47:33.

Victoria Derbyshire spoke to a man There is a man who threw

:47:34.:47:38.

two of his children. Honestly, it's all right,

:47:39.:47:44.

you don't have to say any more. Sandra Martin e-mailed

:47:45.:48:07.

us with this message to what they saw as the intrusive

:48:08.:48:11.

nature of that interview. And others, including this

:48:12.:48:30.

one from home affairs John Gosling contacted us

:48:31.:48:36.

about the BBC's coverage following the fire,

:48:37.:48:51.

here are his thoughts: Is it now the job of

:48:52.:48:57.

BBC reporters to chase the bereaved, the despairing, and,

:48:58.:49:00.

basically, wring out every last drop of despair from that person

:49:01.:49:10.

in the interests of ratings? I watched one particular person

:49:11.:49:12.

being interviewed with a microphone They were crying,

on the issues arising out of the coverage

:50:28.:50:30.

of the Grenfell Tower fire. We may well be discussing them

:50:31.:50:32.

with the BBC News editor next week. It's been a week since

:50:33.:50:36.

the general election results and its implications

:50:37.:50:40.

are still unclear. Last Friday political editor

:50:41.:50:45.

Laura Kuenssberg reflected on what was widely considered to be

:50:46.:50:47.

something of a political earthquake. And what we're saying

:50:48.:50:53.

is the Conservatives are the largest party,

:50:54.:51:00.

note they don't have an overall Gradually, seat after seat,

:51:01.:51:05.

was glorious shock for Labour. Loss after loss for

:51:06.:51:11.

the Conservatives. Images of cheering Labour

:51:12.:51:15.

politicians and supporters, and of disappointed or angry

:51:16.:51:19.

Conservatives made it hard to remember at times that the latter

:51:20.:51:22.

had won 56 more seats When the Prime Minister emerged

:51:23.:51:25.

from ten Downing St on Friday was the question Laura Kuenssberg

:51:26.:51:34.

shouted out to her. Is this strong and stable,

:51:35.:51:37.

Prime Minister? But she had won, some Newswatch

:51:38.:51:39.

viewers pointed out. At least in the sense

:51:40.:51:43.

that the Conservatives were forming And Graham Watts objected

:51:44.:51:46.

to what he saw as: There certainly

:51:47.:52:18.

seemed to be some relish in comments on Sunday's Andrew Marr Show,

:52:19.:52:21.

repeated widely on BBC News. It's just how long she's

:52:22.:52:28.

going to remain on death row. David Hines objected to the airtime

:52:29.:52:33.

given to that phrase, Later in the week on Thursday

:52:34.:52:38.

night, there was Laura about how the government might

respond to the London Remember also right now this

:53:02.:53:04.

is an extremely fragile government, the State Opening of Parliament

:53:05.:53:16.

is not even underway, Theresa May

:53:17.:53:18.

is only just days after Nigel Rawlins was one

:53:19.:53:20.

of a number of viewers to pick up the phrase there,

:53:21.:53:24.

a bruising political defeat, The charge of a lack

:53:25.:53:26.

of political balance was one we heard many times

:53:27.:53:36.

during the election campaign. For instance, after the BBC's

:53:37.:53:39.

debate from Cambridge, eight days before the vote,

:53:40.:53:42.

featuring the leaders of Ukip, Plaid Cymru, the Greens,

:53:43.:53:46.

the Liberal Democrats And representatives from the SNP

:53:47.:53:48.

and the Conservatives. But since the result,

:53:49.:53:53.

the omission from that line-up, and from most of the coverage

:53:54.:53:56.

of the Democratic Unionist Party and other Northern Irish parties,

:53:57.:53:59.

has been questioned by viewers such as Jack O'Dwyer Henry,

:54:00.:54:02.

who recorded this video for us. As a Northern Irish voter

:54:03.:54:07.

I was somewhat dissatisfied with the BBC's general election

:54:08.:54:09.

coverage because it didn't seem to include the parties

:54:10.:54:12.

from Northern Ireland and never the issues Northern Irish

:54:13.:54:15.

voters were concerned I think this is especially obvious

:54:16.:54:17.

whenever it came to the big set piece television debates

:54:18.:54:26.

and interviews of the campaigns, such as the leaders debates,

:54:27.:54:28.

and the leaders interviews First, I'd like to ask

:54:29.:54:31.

what the justification is for excluding all

:54:32.:54:38.

Northern Ireland parties And secondly, given that the DUP

:54:39.:54:40.

is in such a prominent national position after the election,

:54:41.:54:44.

will the BBC reconsider this for Let's discuss some of those

:54:45.:54:46.

issues which the BBC's head of news gathering,

:54:47.:54:59.

Jonathan Munro. In hindsight was it a mistake,

:55:00.:55:01.

it was, wasn't it, not to include No, it wasn't a mistake

:55:02.:55:06.

it was deliberate. The reason for it there are five

:55:07.:55:10.

parties in Northern Ireland Parties of significant support

:55:11.:55:13.

in the constituencies We cannot put the DUP

:55:14.:55:16.

into a networked programme without also putting Sinn Fein,

:55:17.:55:20.

the SDLP Alliance, That would have taken Cambridge

:55:21.:55:22.

from a 7 handed debate It would have been completely

:55:23.:55:27.

impossible to Marshall. People in the rest of the UK don't

:55:28.:55:32.

have the option to vote for the DUP, whereas everyone on the Cambridge

:55:33.:55:37.

debate was facing each other in some So what we did instead was we did

:55:38.:55:40.

a Northern Ireland only debate on the Tuesday just before polling

:55:41.:55:46.

day, which went out in Northern Ireland,

:55:47.:55:49.

and was then seen on the BBC News Viewers have complained that the BBC

:55:50.:55:52.

presented the election result is a triumph for Labour and defeat

:55:53.:55:55.

for the Conservatives. We reported it as a result

:55:56.:55:58.

relative to expectations. Theresa May herself said that

:55:59.:56:06.

if she lost six seats to Labour she would have lost the election,

:56:07.:56:09.

that was her phrase, not ours. Obviously she lost a lot

:56:10.:56:12.

more than that, in fact She was, of course, as we know,

:56:13.:56:15.

the leader of the biggest party in the Commons,

:56:16.:56:19.

and therefore forming a minority Relative to expectations,

:56:20.:56:22.

it was undeniably a setback for the Conservative Party,

:56:23.:56:25.

and undeniably better achievement for Labour

:56:26.:56:27.

than they better expected. Expectations, this is what viewers

:56:28.:56:30.

are concerned about, They've been wrong in previous

:56:31.:56:32.

elections, such as the referendum. Newswatch viewers have said the BBC

:56:33.:56:38.

has allowed itself to get swept up into focusing on expectations

:56:39.:56:42.

when covering the election. When you should just

:56:43.:56:44.

be reporting facts. Every election comes with a,

:56:45.:56:46.

a degree of expectation about what the result might

:56:47.:56:48.

leave us with. At this election, people

:56:49.:56:52.

of the Conservative Party and the Labour Party were saying

:56:53.:56:55.

to us, both privately and indeed on the record,

:56:56.:56:59.

and in interviews, the Conservatives I remember Nicola Sturgeon doing

:57:00.:57:02.

an interview for the BBC in which she used that exact phrase,

:57:03.:57:08.

we are headed for a So, the expectations were quite out

:57:09.:57:11.

there in terms of where people All those expectations

:57:12.:57:15.

turned out to be false. And it really depends on the work

:57:16.:57:18.

that's done now about how voters behaved when political analysts get

:57:19.:57:22.

involved about why that happened. With every election

:57:23.:57:25.

there was a learning Some viewers detected a sense

:57:26.:57:26.

of relish and colleagues in the reporters' tone and questions

:57:27.:57:30.

to the Prime Minister. Notably the repeating

:57:31.:57:33.

of George Osborne's dead I think it's a slightly odd thing

:57:34.:57:35.

to ask is not to report what the former Chancellor

:57:36.:57:41.

of the Exchequer, who was sacked by Theresa May, is now

:57:42.:57:44.

a major newspaper editor, There was no relish in any

:57:45.:57:46.

of the questions... The strong and stable

:57:47.:57:51.

comment shouted at her? But Mrs May campaigned on a mandate

:57:52.:57:53.

for a strong and stable government. In the spirit of robust questioning,

:57:54.:57:57.

and calling people to account, it's perfectly reasonable for us

:57:58.:58:02.

to put that back to her. Looking back, what should the BBC

:58:03.:58:07.

not do, or do differently next time Well, I think it all depends

:58:08.:58:10.

on the circumstances There is bound to be a different

:58:11.:58:17.

political landscape. There will be new programme ideas,

:58:18.:58:21.

things we will do differently, I think one of the things

:58:22.:58:24.

that we did very well this time around, and want to do even more of,

:58:25.:58:28.

is tapping into the youth vote, which we think turned out in bigger

:58:29.:58:31.

numbers than people expected. So, although there was a dedicated

:58:32.:58:34.

Newsbeat debate for young voters just before the election,

:58:35.:58:37.

I'd like to see even more voices from the younger generation's

:58:38.:58:40.

first-time voters and see them even Thank you for all your

you. Angry protests have been held

in London as residents demand more support for those affected

:02:23.:02:26.

by the Grenfell Tower Fire. The government has pledged

:02:27.:02:35.

?5 million to help victims Around 70 people are thought to be

:02:36.:02:37.

'dead or missing' and last night the community held a candlelit vigil

:02:38.:02:42.

near to the site of the disaster. From where Frankie

:02:43.:02:45.

McCamley joins us now. The search entering its fourth day,

:02:46.:02:49.

and growing anger from some about the response of the authorities.

:02:50.:02:55.

Yes, absolutely. A lot of emotions surrounding this tragedy. Where I

:02:56.:03:00.

am, it's about 100 metres from Grenfell Tower. This is a local

:03:01.:03:04.

church, one of the areas where people have laid flowers and lit

:03:05.:03:08.

candles and of course leave posters of their loved ones who are still

:03:09.:03:12.

missing. I have been speaking to people inside this church who are

:03:13.:03:18.

running the church. They say that thousands of boxes have been

:03:19.:03:22.

donated, they have been overwhelmed with people showing support, sending

:03:23.:03:27.

clothes and food and essentials needed, today people are arriving

:03:28.:03:33.

here, coming to pay their respects, it is still quiet, which is very

:03:34.:03:36.

different to the scenes that we saw yesterday.

:03:37.:03:41.

A moment to grieve for a community still coming to terms with what has

:03:42.:03:47.

happened this week. Side by side, hundreds held a two-minute silence.

:03:48.:03:53.

Because we're doing a candle vigil we stopped a riot. Earlier the kids

:03:54.:03:58.

were getting angry because no one is communicating what is going on.

:03:59.:04:01.

There is no coordination at the moment, I've been here three days

:04:02.:04:05.

and I haven't seen one council official to turn up and take

:04:06.:04:08.

responsibility and say we need to organise something, exactly. And

:04:09.:04:16.

that anger came to a head earlier on with protesters storming Kensington

:04:17.:04:21.

and Chelsea town hall demanding more information and calling for justice.

:04:22.:04:27.

In Westminster large crowds gathered, making their way to

:04:28.:04:30.

Downing Street before marching along Regent Street to the headquarters of

:04:31.:04:35.

the BBC with a clear message to the Prime Minister, who yesterday,

:04:36.:04:39.

protected behind police officers, met victims and volunteers at a

:04:40.:04:44.

local church. But appearance did not go down well with anger boiling over

:04:45.:04:50.

outside. Mrs May has announced ?5 million to help those affected,

:04:51.:04:53.

promising to re-home everyone and get to the bottom of what has

:04:54.:04:58.

happened. But with so many still missing, others dead or feared dead,

:04:59.:05:03.

the questions keep growing but the answers are simply not there.

:05:04.:05:11.

And there are still many questions to be answered as the investigation

:05:12.:05:18.

is carried on. Behind me you might be able to see activity, and number

:05:19.:05:23.

of investigations are taking place, three to be precise, one by the Fire

:05:24.:05:27.

and Rescue Service looking into the fire to find out how it started and

:05:28.:05:32.

wide spread so quickly, please have also launched a criminal

:05:33.:05:36.

investigation to find out who, if anyone, is responsible for this.

:05:37.:05:40.

They say they do not believe the fire was started deliberately but

:05:41.:05:45.

they will look into whether the safety checks were in place. And of

:05:46.:05:49.

course the Prime Minister Theresa May has ordered a public inquiry,

:05:50.:05:52.

she says she wants to get to the bottom of exactly what happened. As

:05:53.:05:57.

it stands, 70 people believed or dead. Firefighters won't be able to

:05:58.:06:04.

confirm those numbers yet until they can get into those building behind

:06:05.:06:10.

me, now completely charred, it was home to hundreds of people. Thank

:06:11.:06:17.

you, very much, Frankie, at Grenfell Tower, we will be back with you

:06:18.:06:18.

later. As Frankie said the Prime Minister

:06:19.:06:20.

faced hostility during her visit Let's talk to our Political

:06:21.:06:23.

Correspondent Emma Vardy - There has been much focus, Emma, and

:06:24.:06:33.

how Theresa May has reacted and how people have reacted to her

:06:34.:06:38.

reactions. Absolutely, it's been an extraordinarily difficult few days

:06:39.:06:41.

for Theresa May and the government. Of course people have legitimate

:06:42.:06:45.

questions. There is a legitimate outpouring of grief but the

:06:46.:06:48.

government is having to balance that with the need to take things step by

:06:49.:06:52.

step and act responsibly and is not able to provide all the answers that

:06:53.:07:00.

people are demanding. On Newsnight last night Theresa May underlined

:07:01.:07:04.

that ?5 million emergency fund being made available yet she came under

:07:05.:07:07.

pressure as to whether her personal response has been adequate, whether

:07:08.:07:12.

she has struck the right emotional chord at this time. This is an

:07:13.:07:17.

absolutely awful fire that took place. People have lost their lives.

:07:18.:07:22.

People have had their homes destroyed. They have fled for their

:07:23.:07:28.

lives, with absolutely nothing. Do you accept that you miss read the

:07:29.:07:33.

public mood on this one, you must read the anger that people feel on

:07:34.:07:38.

this one, they shouted "Coward" at you this afternoon when you left

:07:39.:07:43.

Saint Clements. What I have done since this incident happened, is

:07:44.:07:46.

first of all yesterday ensure the public services have the support

:07:47.:07:49.

they needed to be able to do the job they were doing in the immediate

:07:50.:07:56.

aftermath. But this is three days on, they needed those things on

:07:57.:07:59.

Wednesday. There were people that we spoke to who are housed for one

:08:00.:08:04.

night, did not know where they would spend the next night, had no money

:08:05.:08:07.

for food and were not told anything or anyone, no one was in charge.

:08:08.:08:12.

What I've done today is ensured that as a government we are putting that

:08:13.:08:16.

funding in place the people in that area. We've seen the government said

:08:17.:08:23.

this morning that it is now determined to build trust with

:08:24.:08:27.

survivors of this tragedy, a more conciliatory tone this morning. And

:08:28.:08:33.

also we saw the Queen visiting survivors of the fire yesterday and

:08:34.:08:37.

people waiting for news of loved ones. That's right, the Queen has

:08:38.:08:43.

now put out a statement saying it is difficult to escape a very sombre

:08:44.:08:47.

national mood. She said in recent months the country has witnessed a

:08:48.:08:50.

succession of terrible tragedies and as a nation we are still praying for

:08:51.:08:54.

people who have been affected by recent events. Thank you very much

:08:55.:08:57.

for the moment, Emma. US officials say seven crew members

:08:58.:09:04.

and another sailor had to be Our Tokyo correspondent

:09:10.:09:13.

Rupert Wingfield Hayes told us that questions are being asked

:09:14.:09:16.

about what exactly happened. It is very unusual and it is very

:09:17.:09:23.

serious that such a sophisticated chip as this, the USS Fitzgerald,

:09:48.:09:51.

nonetheless. A lot of questions have been raised by this, it has caused

:09:52.:09:58.

extensive damage to the USS Fitzgerald. I've seen pictures from

:09:59.:10:02.

the scene, this huge gash down the side of the destroyer, the bow of

A jury in the US state of Minnesota has acquitted a police officer

who fatally shot an African-American man after pulling him over

:10:31.:10:32.

Philando Castile's girlfriend, who was beside him

:10:33.:10:35.

in the car, live-streamed his dying moments on Facebook last July.

We got pulled over for a busted tail light and the police, he's just

killed my boyfriend. Philando Castile was pulled over by the

police because he had a faulty brake light. Minutes later he was shot

:10:55.:10:59.

five times. His girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds, streamed the aftermath on

Facebook as the officer kept his gun trained on the car. Oh my God,

:11:04.:11:10.

please don't tell me he's dead. Please don't tell me my boyfriend

:11:11.:11:15.

just went like that. Yes, I will Sir, I will keep my hands where they

:11:16.:11:21.

are. Philando Castile was seen telling the officer there was a

:11:22.:11:24.

legally purchased weapon in the car but he wasn't neared. The officer

on Monday to develop It's just approaching 13 minutes

:12:51.:12:59.

past eight o'clock. Let's go back to our top story.

:13:00.:13:02.

Over the last few days we've been hearing horrific stories

:13:03.:13:04.

of loss and devastation after the Grenfell Tower

:13:05.:13:06.

But amongst those stories there have been tales of kindness,

:13:07.:13:11.

we've seen community spirit and heroism.

:13:12.:13:12.

Residents and emergency service workers, willing to put their lives

:13:13.:13:14.

One of those was off-duty nurse Simone Williams who ran to the scene

:13:15.:13:27.

in her slippers to treat those in need when she heard

:13:28.:13:29.

She joins us now from our London newsroom...

:13:30.:13:31.

Good morning, Simone, we are grateful to you for joining us. You

:13:32.:13:37.

were off duty, but you heard about the fire and you went to see what

:13:38.:13:41.

you could do. Just talk us through those first few minutes when you

:13:42.:13:44.

became aware that something seriously wrong was happening at the

:13:45.:13:49.

Tower. I was actually at home asleep when I heard a lot of sirens and

:13:50.:13:52.

there were lots of flashing lights and I heard a helicopter overhead. I

:13:53.:13:58.

live in central London so it isn't unusual to hear this but it was

:13:59.:14:03.

increasing. More sirens, so I ran outside to see what was happening. A

:14:04.:14:08.

gentleman ran past me, I said, where are you going, he said, my building

:14:09.:14:14.

is on fire. So I ran with him, naturally, to see what I could do.

:14:15.:14:19.

And as we said you were not working at that point. But what stage did

:14:20.:14:24.

that instinct kicked in to do what you are trained to do, to go and

:14:25.:14:28.

help those people? That instinct is within me at all times, to be honest

:14:29.:14:33.

with you. It is not just because I'm a nurse, it is my moral compass to

:14:34.:14:38.

help people. So I just went to where I knew people would need my help.

:14:39.:14:43.

And when you arrived clearly this was still in the early stages of

:14:44.:14:47.

that fire, we've heard those accounts of how quickly the fire

:14:48.:14:50.

spread, tell us what you saw when you arrived there. It was absolutely

:14:51.:14:56.

horrendous. It was a lot of screaming. You could hear crackling,

:14:57.:15:00.

popping, you could see people from the Windows with makeshift flags,

:15:01.:15:11.

waving them. It was just, as you could imagine, absolutely awful. It

:15:12.:15:18.

was something you never want to see again. I understand how difficult it

:15:19.:15:23.

is to relive all of this but what is so interesting and important is that

:15:24.:15:26.

response from the emergency services, yourself included.

:15:27.:15:32.

Relatively organised, the response, given the circumstances, because you

:15:33.:15:36.

have talked about how you are allocated a set of people to help,

:15:37.:15:41.

and you were able to fit in with an organised response to processing

:15:42.:15:43.

people and the walking wounded, certainly in your case. That is

:15:44.:15:49.

definitely true. It was very organised. I have to say a big

:15:50.:15:54.

respect to the firefighters, because, you know, even they, when

:15:55.:15:57.

they came out of that building, I could see the looks of horror and

:15:58.:16:01.

shock on their faces as if they had never seen anything like it. The

:16:02.:16:05.

police were very supportive. The paramedics. The Salvation Army. Just

:16:06.:16:13.

the general, our community, amazing, people were bringing things out of

:16:14.:16:18.

their houses to help us, blankets, clothes, you name it. We've seen

:16:19.:16:24.

photos of the firefighters who are facing awful conditions, very

:16:25.:16:26.

difficult conditions, you spoke to many of them over the evening, what

:16:27.:16:31.

did they say about the conditions inside? It wasn't really a direct

:16:32.:16:40.

conversation, I'll was listening to what they were saying amongst

:16:41.:16:46.

themselves. And one particular man said, it is awful, awful. He said

:16:47.:16:51.

something about when he got to the tenth floor, the heat. I am just

:16:52.:16:58.

thinking, he was wearing protective gear so imagine those residents or

:16:59.:17:01.

were just wearing their bedclothes to go to bed. And for the people

:17:02.:17:07.

responding we have been discussing help that is helpfully on the way

:17:08.:17:11.

for direct victims and their relatives, what help is available

:17:12.:17:17.

for people like yourselves, the fire and ambulance crews are facing

:17:18.:17:20.

difficult conditions themselves, they do it because it is their job

:17:21.:17:24.

but is the help available for them to deal with this? For myself I

:17:25.:17:33.

definitely have a good support mechanism, I belong to a local

:17:34.:17:36.

church and they are supporting me both emotionally and with prayer.

:17:37.:17:44.

And I also work for a great organisation survey are also

:17:45.:17:48.

supporting me and my family and the community. We just need to pull

:17:49.:17:55.

together as a community and we have to act in love, it is love that will

:17:56.:18:01.

get us through this, and patience and kindness to one another. What

:18:02.:18:06.

would you like to see, what would make the biggest difference to you

:18:07.:18:10.

in terms of how bright now? I'm thinking about the long-term of the

:18:11.:18:13.

bereavement for these young children because I am aware that there are a

:18:14.:18:17.

lot of young children witnessing things that they really should never

:18:18.:18:23.

have to witness. And I really want professional services to come in and

:18:24.:18:29.

support the schools, the local community for the bereavement of

:18:30.:18:33.

these young children and even adults as well but my heart is really going

:18:34.:18:37.

to the young children because it stood out to me, how many young

:18:38.:18:42.

people were outside yesterday witnessing something that they

:18:43.:18:44.

should never have to witness. Absolutely. Simone, I am grateful

:18:45.:18:50.

for your time, thank you for sharing that because it is important to

:18:51.:18:53.

discuss that response from the emergency services and also

:18:54.:18:57.

everything people did after the fire. Thank you very much, Simone

:18:58.:18:59.

Williams. We'll discuss this with

:19:00.:19:03.

First Secretary of State, Damian Green at around half past

:19:04.:19:05.

eight this morning. Let's pause, it is 20 past eight,

:19:06.:19:15.

let's look at the weather. Thank you. Hello, good morning. It is

:19:16.:19:19.

worth pointing out that today we have very high levels of UV across

:19:20.:19:24.

the country. We don't seek levels of aid across the UK very often at all.

:19:25.:19:30.

I have been forecasting for over 20 years, so it's very strong today,

:19:31.:19:34.

the Sun, that's a word of warning because there will be plenty of

:19:35.:19:39.

sunshine around. A few areas which are less sunny, the picture is

:19:40.:19:43.

universal for many of us but in the north-west of England we've got low

:19:44.:19:46.

cloud across the south-west and this weather front in the north, just to

:19:47.:19:51.

show you we do have this cloud, this is an area of language, many weather

:19:52.:19:56.

watchers are showing plenty of sunshine, the cloud in the

:19:57.:20:00.

north-west will lift and break throughout the day. The finals of

:20:01.:20:04.

Northern Ireland and western Scotland, the weather front will

:20:05.:20:07.

stay for most of the day, you can see that breeze just blowing in the

:20:08.:20:12.

cloud, it's not a day the going walking in the Highlands! And in the

:20:13.:20:17.

Island is a lot of cloud and drizzle. After the sunshine in the

:20:18.:20:21.

Northern Isles and to be cloudy here as well, 16 degrees but in the

:20:22.:20:25.

sunshine, even for eastern Scotland and Northern Ireland, we're talking

:20:26.:20:31.

about 24 Celsius, quite rightly inland, a little higher than that as

:20:32.:20:36.

well. Quite a leap up on yesterday. Still a bit more refreshing around

:20:37.:20:40.

the coast if you found that stifling. 21 although still strong

:20:41.:20:45.

sunshine. As you can see in Wisconsin, I am sure Naga will be

:20:46.:20:50.

keeping an eye on the golf, we will have showers around the great Lakes,

:20:51.:20:54.

it has been disturbed weak across the Atlantic. For us very quiet in

:20:55.:21:00.

the night, dry and weather, we will note the drop in temperatures are

:21:01.:21:05.

the uncomfortable humidity will build in the south and the East but

:21:06.:21:10.

that trend will continue north into Monday night. So on Sunday it looks

:21:11.:21:15.

like another very sunny day, if anything, less clout around England

:21:16.:21:21.

and Wales today and more sunshine in Northern Ireland and eastern

:21:22.:21:24.

Scotland but with that weather front again it will feel cooler here and

:21:25.:21:28.

at times quite damp. Further south we will see temperatures a couple of

:21:29.:21:32.

degrees up on today's so it will be hot, if it isn't the hottest day of

:21:33.:21:38.

the year today, we will need to reach 29 degrees, that will

:21:39.:21:41.

certainly continue tomorrow and the heat will continue in England and

:21:42.:21:46.

Wales into Monday and Tuesday but slow cooling off further north. Ben

:21:47.:21:55.

and Naga, thank you. Good to see that we can know what the weather is

:21:56.:21:59.

the Gulf. That's why you pay attention, for the golf! Its 21

:22:00.:22:03.

minutes pass date and time for a look at the newspapers.

:22:04.:22:06.

Political historian Mike Finn is here to tell

:22:07.:22:14.

Lots to get through. This is from the Times, of course related to the

:22:15.:22:23.

Grenfell Tower. Fundamentally the Times has taken this angle about

:22:24.:22:28.

anti-elite settlements. We saw this with the protest but spontaneously

:22:29.:22:33.

emerged yesterday. Viewers may be aware that as you can see in the

:22:34.:22:38.

photos the protesters were arguing justice for the Grenfell Tower

:22:39.:22:41.

survivors, what the newspapers talking about is this sentiment

:22:42.:22:46.

about the vast level of inequality that exists in Kensington and

:22:47.:22:50.

Chelsea, it is one of the richest boroughs in London, indeed Europe

:22:51.:22:54.

and yet they have this inadequate fire safety within this tower. The

:22:55.:22:58.

protesters went with a specific list of questions that they wanted

:22:59.:23:02.

answers for. The council says it has answered some of them yet protesters

:23:03.:23:06.

say they are not firm and clear enough in the response. It's not

:23:07.:23:12.

just about responses to individual questions, it's about cancer

:23:13.:23:16.

responses, people being on the ground, I think it speaks of that

:23:17.:23:21.

broader issue as well. You were a speech writer for the Lib Dems about

:23:22.:23:25.

ten years ago. Essentially the way that politicians react, there's

:23:26.:23:30.

always a certain expectation. As an observer, someone who has touched

:23:31.:23:35.

the political machinery, how do you make about the way that they are

:23:36.:23:39.

positioning themselves in terms of the action? It's clear what the

:23:40.:23:45.

opposition did, Jeremy Corbyn going there straightaway and being on the

:23:46.:23:48.

scene, that's the kind of thing he is comfortable with. The coverage

:23:49.:23:52.

has been very much about the apparently slow response from the

:23:53.:23:55.

Prime Minister. Some of it is fair, some of it is not fair, she was

:23:56.:23:59.

there although the issue was that she didn't meet the residents. She

:24:00.:24:07.

has done now. She has done now. Speaking from a political point of

:24:08.:24:10.

view it is that sense of leadership, people are looking for leadership,

:24:11.:24:14.

consolation, the Gurkhas are to blame and part of being a leader is

:24:15.:24:17.

that you have to shoulder some of that and I think at the moment that

:24:18.:24:21.

message isn't getting through. Let's look at this story in the daily

:24:22.:24:25.

Mirror about Jo Cox, one year since the murder, celebrations up and down

:24:26.:24:30.

the country, a celebration of her life but also this idea of getting

:24:31.:24:34.

to know your neighbours. It's been launched by her family. The

:24:35.:24:39.

headline, the kids see this event as a big party for the mum. A fitting

:24:40.:24:46.

tribute? Yeah. It is hard to believe it has been one year since one of

:24:47.:24:50.

the biggest tragedies in modern politics, traumatic for Jo Cox's

:24:51.:24:55.

family, this is a chance to bid a legacy photo, and this great

:24:56.:24:59.

get-together through the country, meetings in church halls, Village

:25:00.:25:04.

halls, it's an opportunity to build on what she said in her maiden

:25:05.:25:08.

speech which is that we have more in common than that divides us. I love

:25:09.:25:16.

this quote from her widower, he says that his daughter will be doing a

:25:17.:25:19.

dance for the neighbours and his son will be playing the ukelele which he

:25:20.:25:23.

can't play. A very dignified reaction from the family. New Year

:25:24.:25:32.

honours list has been released. The famous faces -- the Queen's Birthday

:25:33.:25:37.

Honours list. Paul McCartney, Ed Sheeran but it is this man we are

:25:38.:25:43.

focusing on. The last dambusters hero. Johnny Johnson, the last

:25:44.:25:46.

survivor of the dambusters who bombed the dance in 1943 has been

:25:47.:25:52.

recognised with an MBE. The culmination of a campaign that has

:25:53.:25:59.

run figures. -- bond the dams. He has finally been recognised. They

:26:00.:26:04.

are pointing out that it is almost 75 years since the raid itself. And

:26:05.:26:08.

that he is our last living connection to that raid. It is a

:26:09.:26:14.

memorial not just to himself and his legacy but of those in Bomber

:26:15.:26:18.

Command who survived or did not survive in many cases, the odds were

:26:19.:26:23.

500-1 for their chances if they had served in that squadron in World War

:26:24.:26:28.

II. We have run an interview with him, he is a very charming and

:26:29.:26:32.

dignified manner as you can imagine. Where was the pasty invented, Devil

:26:33.:26:38.

or Cornwall? Don't ask me, I'm not answering that, I don't want to make

:26:39.:26:43.

enemies in the south-west! Historic England has waded into this row.

:26:44.:26:48.

This isn't the picture, the picture is something different but this is

:26:49.:26:53.

about the origins of the humble pasty! Historic England has been

:26:54.:26:56.

running a campaign nationally about objects and things associated with

:26:57.:27:01.

particular locations, like scales from where I come from. They went on

:27:02.:27:07.

radio Devon, and reiterated the sentiment that the pasty was created

:27:08.:27:11.

in Devon, not Cornwall, based on some archival research from Plymouth

:27:12.:27:16.

records office which dates back to 1509. The Cornershop responded with

:27:17.:27:21.

the idea that there cave paintings that shows some and an 8000 BCE to

:27:22.:27:28.

the pasty so they are not going to give up without a fight! You are

:27:29.:27:32.

making me hungry. Thank you, Mike. We will see you in an hour. Who can

:27:33.:27:39.

resolve this argument? Matt Tebbit in Saturday Kitchen. That argument

:27:40.:27:51.

could rage. -- Diamond Reynolds. Today my guest will tell me what she

wants, what she really really wants, it is Geri Horner. What is your food

:28:05.:28:10.

heaven? Alaves anything with chips. And what about hell. Lobster because

:28:11.:28:17.

it is rubbery. Only because it is overcooked. Lobster and chips. And

:28:18.:28:23.

we have to great chefs, Zoe, what will you be cooking. A classic from

:28:24.:28:29.

Ghana, of Egan and bean stew with some spice plantain. Looking forward

:28:30.:28:36.

to that and making a welcome return, record-breaker the Randolph. What

:28:37.:28:45.

will you be cooking? Red mullet, olives, parsley and breadcrumbs.

:28:46.:28:55.

Very you. Sam, have you got nice wines. And a beer. And you guys are

:28:56.:29:01.

too will be in charge of deciding what Geri Horner will be eating at

:29:02.:29:05.

the end of the show, I'll see you at nine o'clock. Thank you, I'm even

gong in the honours. The time is 8:37am.

:37:18.:37:23.

More on Grenfell Tower now - let's speak to First Secretary

:37:24.:37:26.

Thank you for your time. Good morning. We have a lot to get

:37:27.:37:35.

through, so we will start with the reaction of people still waiting to

:37:36.:37:40.

be rehoused in the Chelsea and Kensington Borough. Many say they

:37:41.:37:42.

still don't know where they are going although the commitment has

:37:43.:37:46.

been made to rehouse people within three weeks. Why aren't people being

:37:47.:37:50.

told where they are going? As fast as we can come as you said, everyone

:37:51.:38:00.

will be housed within three weeks. Many of the survivors of this

:38:01.:38:04.

incident are large families so we must find appropriate properties but

:38:05.:38:07.

we must do it as fast as possible. We are glad of the London councils

:38:08.:38:11.

are cooperating with Kensington and Chelsea so that they can be as

:38:12.:38:20.

possible to where they were living previously. The last thing we want

:38:21.:38:25.

is anyone's lives being disrupted further after this most unspeakable

:38:26.:38:30.

event. Do you think ?5 million is enough? And if it isn't enough is

:38:31.:38:34.

there a contingency to make sure that people are looked after

:38:35.:38:38.

properly and as well as can be? There is some misunderstanding about

:38:39.:38:42.

this. The ?5 million is an immediate payment to make sure that those who

:38:43.:38:48.

need emergency support get it. Certainly there are people who fled

:38:49.:38:54.

literally without clothing, as well as losing all their possessions.

:38:55.:39:00.

This is initial emergency fund to make sure that as fast as possible

:39:01.:39:05.

they can be helped and cared for. But obviously one imagines there

:39:06.:39:11.

will be further expenses of various kinds that, of course, we will meet.

:39:12.:39:16.

You will guarantee you will meet those expenses? Yes. There are many

:39:17.:39:23.

people who are reporters and correspondents have spoken to who

:39:24.:39:25.

are protesting and are very angry, and maybe, many relatives, who say

:39:26.:39:34.

there isn't a centralised system, there isn't anywhere they can go to

:39:35.:39:37.

find out who is in which hospital so they can check off where their

:39:38.:39:41.

missing loved ones are. Why hasn't this been organised better? It has

:39:42.:39:46.

now. After the meeting yesterday of the recovery task force there is now

:39:47.:39:53.

from today on the ground a central operation precisely to answer all

:39:54.:39:58.

those perfectly reasonable questions that people have in these desperate

:39:59.:40:03.

circumstances. So there will be a combination of the local council,

:40:04.:40:09.

central government, the Department for Communities and Local Government

:40:10.:40:12.

command other departments as necessary, representatives of those

:40:13.:40:16.

departments will be on the ground immediately accessible to the

:40:17.:40:19.

residents so those questions can be answered. Can you respond to the

:40:20.:40:24.

speculation now, which is speculation and I understand this,

:40:25.:40:28.

but the great concerns about the cladding that has been used on the

:40:29.:40:34.

Grenfell Tower? Was this the cheaper flammable version that has been

:40:35.:40:37.

reported as less safe? Was that the one being used? That's precisely why

:40:38.:40:43.

we have moved very fast to set up a public inquiry. We want that to be

:40:44.:40:49.

set up as fast as possible and we will appoint a judge as chairman

:40:50.:40:53.

within days rather than weeks. We have said it will produce interim

:40:54.:40:57.

reports so people won't have to wait a long time, and I think very

:40:58.:41:01.

importantly the residents will have a direct voice. They will be

:41:02.:41:04.

consulted on the terms of reference of the public inquiry, and if they

:41:05.:41:09.

want legal representation at the public inquiry the government will

:41:10.:41:13.

pay for that. So the residents' voices will be heard very loud at

:41:14.:41:16.

the public inquiry and that is the body which will look at the cladding

:41:17.:41:20.

and all the other issues that have arisen. If that cladding is found to

:41:21.:41:25.

be of lesser quality, or the flammable one, will you commit to

:41:26.:41:28.

removing that from the other tower blocks in England where this is

:41:29.:41:34.

used? We will obviously look at the public inquiry recommendations, and

:41:35.:41:37.

if that's one of the recommendations then that is what will happen. I

:41:38.:41:40.

think it would be wrong to prejudge the public inquiry, that's the body

:41:41.:41:44.

that will look at all the evidence as fast as possible and then take

:41:45.:41:49.

the necessary action to make sure that nothing like this can happen

:41:50.:41:54.

again. Of course, at the same time, councils all over the country are

:41:55.:41:59.

inspecting buildings to check high-rise buildings, to check on

:42:00.:42:02.

their safety now, that has been happening over the last two days so

:42:03.:42:06.

that's very important, so that people all around the country living

:42:07.:42:08.

in similar buildings can be reassured. When will you be able to

:42:09.:42:15.

say to the people who live in the 4000 high-rise blocks around the UK

:42:16.:42:18.

that they are safe? You can't say that now, can you? That is what

:42:19.:42:23.

local councils have been doing all over the country for the past two

:42:24.:42:27.

days. They have been talking to people who actually live there and

:42:28.:42:33.

checking on the fire safety of there. So that reassurances already

:42:34.:42:40.

happening. In the longer term, obviously. In as short a long term

:42:41.:42:44.

as possible, it will be the public inquiry that is the place where all

:42:45.:42:49.

of the evidence can be gathered and therefore authoritative

:42:50.:42:51.

recommendations can be made as to what needs to happen now. You will

:42:52.:42:55.

be very aware of the protests yesterday and the anger that has

:42:56.:42:59.

built up amongst many in reaction to what has happened at Grenfell Tower.

:43:00.:43:05.

People at times like this want consolation, they won leadership,

:43:06.:43:09.

they want honesty and they want empathy. Theresa May, there is the

:43:10.:43:14.

accusation that she has shown none of this. Your reaction to that. I

:43:15.:43:20.

think that is unfair. The Prime Minister is distraught about what

:43:21.:43:23.

happened, as everyone in the country is. We are all desperately sad, we

:43:24.:43:28.

are all angry, but none of us are as angry as those directly affected. I

:43:29.:43:33.

absolutely get why they are angry and it is the responsibility of

:43:34.:43:37.

government at all levels to make sure that they get information so

:43:38.:43:42.

that their immediate questions can be answered. We are doing that. That

:43:43.:43:47.

there is money available so that their immediate needs can be met. We

:43:48.:43:52.

are doing that. And that we are taking the right action to make sure

:43:53.:43:55.

that this can never happen again. And we are doing that as well. I

:43:56.:44:00.

absolutely understand why there is so much anger out there. We all feel

:44:01.:44:06.

it. The government's responsibility is to take those actions I have just

:44:07.:44:10.

outlined, and that is what we are doing. The leader of the country's

:44:11.:44:13.

responsibility is to make sure people know and understand what they

:44:14.:44:20.

are going through, to see them, not for them to be harangued to be at

:44:21.:44:24.

the scene to visit emergency workers, victims, people in

:44:25.:44:28.

hospitals, two or three days after the event. On the first date the

:44:29.:44:31.

Prime Minister's focus quite rightly was on whether the emergency

:44:32.:44:37.

services had the appropriate resources so that they could do

:44:38.:44:42.

their immediate job. Then she did do precisely that. She visited some of

:44:43.:44:48.

the survivors in hospital and heard harrowing tales of what happened,

:44:49.:44:55.

and also she visited a wider group of residents to listen to their

:44:56.:45:00.

concerns in the local church. Her task now having done that is

:45:01.:45:07.

precisely to turn the concerns that she has heard into action and that

:45:08.:45:11.

is what is now happening with the recovery task force that has been

:45:12.:45:16.

set up. You are the first Secretary of State, probably the closest thing

:45:17.:45:21.

we can put in a box, for want of a better word, for Deputy Prime

:45:22.:45:24.

Minister. In your opinion do you think Theresa May has judged the

:45:25.:45:27.

mood of the nation well in the last few days? I think she has done

:45:28.:45:33.

everything that could have been asked, making sure that the

:45:34.:45:41.

emergency services are working well, listening to residents' concerns,

:45:42.:45:44.

and above all acting on those concerns as quickly as possible.

:45:45.:45:48.

That is what the Prime Minister should do and it is what she has

:45:49.:45:53.

done. You think she understands the mood of this nation? Yes, I think

:45:54.:45:58.

she does, as I say, as is as distraught as anyone, as all of us

:45:59.:46:02.

are, we all feel this sadness and recognise the anger and can see why

:46:03.:46:06.

people are that angry and the Prime Minister feels that as much as

:46:07.:46:11.

anyone. Damian Green, first Secretary of State, thank you for

:46:12.:46:13.

your time this morning. The Queen's Honours list has been

:46:14.:46:15.

released, and among those being recognised are a host

:46:16.:46:17.

of musicians, including MBEs for Ed Sheeran, Emili Sande

:46:18.:46:21.

and 1960s singer Sandie Shaw. Also honoured is classical double

:46:22.:46:29.

bassist, Chi-Chi Nwanoku, ... I knew I would get this wrong

:46:30.:46:35.

and I apologise because there is nothing more frustrating than

:46:36.:46:40.

getting somebody's name wrong. You co-founded the Orchestra

:46:41.:46:45.

of the Age of Enlightenment, which employs musicians from a wide

:46:46.:46:47.

range of ethnic backgrounds. Can I just correct you, I founded

:46:48.:46:59.

and orchestra made up of majority black and minority ethnic musicians,

:47:00.:47:07.

professionals and juniors. We should say, you already have an MBE, so

:47:08.:47:10.

this is the icing on the cake, and we have talked before about how it

:47:11.:47:15.

is important to thank people for the work that is done and that is how

:47:16.:47:19.

you see this. Yes, it is definitely an upgrade. I

:47:20.:47:26.

think I'm very proud and honoured to have received this. It is important

:47:27.:47:32.

to be able to receive thanks and give thanks, especially in the world

:47:33.:47:39.

of classical music. In the arts in general, but especially classical

:47:40.:47:42.

music, quite often seen as the least popular genre of music. The liner

:47:43.:47:51.

that I'm particularly pleased about is the fact that people are

:47:52.:48:01.

beginning to take real notice of the work that is being done, this genre

:48:02.:48:06.

of music is so underrepresented by people from all the communities.

:48:07.:48:12.

I've been a musician all my life and been on the stage all my life and

:48:13.:48:17.

the older I got the more I realised I was actually quite alone in a

:48:18.:48:21.

certain way. And why do you think that was? Many reasons, I had no

:48:22.:48:27.

role models, there aren't many role models, and I also think socio

:48:28.:48:34.

economic situations play a big part for people in the arts. We mustn't

:48:35.:48:44.

forget about that. We are often led towards other genres of music just

:48:45.:48:49.

because of the way we look. Jazz? Reggae? Yes, hip-hop, you name it.

:48:50.:48:58.

It is fantastic, music is wonderful. One thing I am really advocating is

:48:59.:49:03.

getting more musical education back into state schools, because that has

:49:04.:49:09.

a natural knock-on effect. Celebrating role models and

:49:10.:49:15.

encouraging teachers and people from the back room to take a leading

:49:16.:49:21.

positions. It is also that pipeline you touched on, about getting people

:49:22.:49:24.

involved in classical music at an early age and being able to filter

:49:25.:49:27.

them through different orchestras and being able to play at different

:49:28.:49:32.

levels. I know you have created a junior orchestra to do exactly that,

:49:33.:49:37.

how is it going? Fantastic, starting points are crucial. The juniors are

:49:38.:49:41.

outstanding, and one of our cellists made history by being the first

:49:42.:49:48.

black child to win BBC Young musician, so you will see quite a

:49:49.:49:54.

lot of him on the television. The power of the role model is

:49:55.:49:57.

unprecedented, he is a wonderful person, goes to a state school in

:49:58.:50:01.

Nottingham and plays football. You get them to go back to their schools

:50:02.:50:05.

to inspire the next generation as well. Exactly, children who see him

:50:06.:50:09.

and his family performing are dragging their parents to our

:50:10.:50:14.

concerts and other concerts. It goes back to you saying visible role

:50:15.:50:17.

models. Yes. Thank you for joining us. Nice to see you.

:50:18.:50:25.

It is 8:50am. What is happening with the weather, Helen?

:50:26.:50:29.

Hotter than it was yesterday and it is with us to stay for a few days.

:50:30.:50:33.

Not sunny everywhere, low cloud across northern England and western

:50:34.:50:37.

Scotland but you can see on the satellite picture it is melting away

:50:38.:50:40.

across northern England but across Scotland it is with us to stay for

:50:41.:50:44.

the rest of the day. We have that sunshine but also the weather front

:50:45.:50:48.

sitting across the North of Scotland, blown in by a brisk

:50:49.:50:52.

south-westerly wind so across the Highlands and Islands including the

:50:53.:50:54.

Northern Isles it will be damp but elsewhere a good spell of sunshine,

:50:55.:50:59.

and temperatures into the mid-20s for most of us, 23 and 24 around the

:51:00.:51:04.

coasts, low 20s in the southern and eastern areas, high 20s, could be

:51:05.:51:08.

the warmest day of the year so far, if not today and definitely

:51:09.:51:13.

tomorrow. It is worth noting the sun index is very high, which is

:51:14.:51:17.

unusual, even in the height of summer in the UK. Something to be

:51:18.:51:20.

warned of if you are out and about, high levels of pollen for those who

:51:21.:51:24.

suffer. Repeat performance for tomorrow and the weather front

:51:25.:51:28.

across the North west of Scotland, and fortunately it stays most of the

:51:29.:51:31.

weekend. If anything temperatures will be higher still tomorrow, to be

:51:32.:51:37.

pushing towards 32 Celsius, the high 80s Fahrenheit, and it continues

:51:38.:51:40.

into Monday as well. Thank you, Helen.

:51:41.:51:45.

With hit after hit to their name it's no wonder they're known

:51:46.:51:48.

This year Motown legends The Jacksons are marking their 50th

:51:49.:51:52.

We are both quite excited. We are very excited.

:51:53.:52:03.

Jackie and Marlon will join us on the sofa.

:52:04.:52:05.

But first lets take a look back at their astonishing career.

:52:06.:52:07.

Good morning. We love to listen to this, we have been boogying on the

:52:08.:52:12.

sofa all morning every time we hear this. Shall we have a listen? Are

:52:13.:52:18.

you going to dance? Trust me, you don't want to see it.

:52:19.:52:25.

# ABC # Easy as one, two, three

:52:26.:52:34.

# And I do know that I want you # Shake your body #

:52:35.:52:41.

You should have seen some of the dancing in here. Good morning, Tito,

:52:42.:52:53.

Jackie and Marlon. Back in the UK, the tour begins, tell us about being

:52:54.:53:02.

back in the UK. We love being in the UK, we will be at Scarborough

:53:03.:53:07.

tonight and tomorrow Blenheim Palace. That's my brother, Jackie.

:53:08.:53:21.

July the 2nd at the O2. How does this dynamic work? Who is the

:53:22.:53:29.

oldest? Take a guess! You are the oldest? It seems like these guys

:53:30.:53:33.

correct you, or make sure... I just let them feel good. You are the

:53:34.:53:40.

chilled ones? We are brothers so we just speak what we have to say, we

:53:41.:53:45.

know each other, how we like doing things, so it's pretty easy for us.

:53:46.:53:50.

Does it all slot back into place? That is what it does. You are

:53:51.:53:57.

enjoying the rehearsals? Everything. We are lucky because we had a great

:53:58.:54:00.

foundation and everything falls into place. Quito, when we look at those

:54:01.:54:05.

pictures, the incredible career, people will know many songs, if not

:54:06.:54:08.

all, do you still get the same excitement? -- Tito. Yes, it's been

:54:09.:54:18.

a fun ride hanging out with these guys, they are fun guys. We have to

:54:19.:54:23.

get away from each other once in awhile to get a breather. What is

:54:24.:54:29.

your downtime? My downtime is spending life with my wife and

:54:30.:54:32.

family and grandkids and doing things I like to do and they like to

:54:33.:54:36.

do. Are they musical? Some of the more musical. If that is the route

:54:37.:54:42.

they want to go you help them but if not you have them do whatever they

:54:43.:54:45.

want to do, help them become the best at whatever they do. That is a

:54:46.:54:49.

good motto, to be the best at whatever you do. Being good human

:54:50.:54:55.

beings, that is most important. 50 years of performing, Jackie, there

:54:56.:54:57.

must be lots of highlights but give us a couple of them. Performing for

:54:58.:55:04.

the Queen here. That was a big highlight. We did it twice. That was

:55:05.:55:08.

one of my biggest performances, I would say. Last year we were at

:55:09.:55:21.

Bestival, that was great. Considering how huge your repertoire

:55:22.:55:24.

is, when you do the tours, how do you pick? We don't pick. The fans

:55:25.:55:32.

pick. We ask them to send in the songs they want to hear and we make

:55:33.:55:37.

the show. You must sometimes think I don't want to do the old favourites,

:55:38.:55:46.

not the big hits, I want to do some of the B sides. If we didn't do

:55:47.:55:51.

blame it on the boogie... You are absolutely right. You have a new

:55:52.:56:01.

solo record coming, Tito. The last Jackson to record. It is a tribute

:56:02.:56:08.

album. I didn't want to be the only one not to record. Is that the

:56:09.:56:17.

motivation? My album is out today. Tito Time. What is the sound? The

:56:18.:56:25.

sound is Tito Time. Just Lyn Brown, mind first single in the UK. Coming

:56:26.:56:35.

up to the anniversary of Michael's death, how do you mark that? What do

:56:36.:56:40.

you do as a family? We have a book that is coming out of over the 50

:56:41.:56:46.

years, pictures of the brothers, various countries, archives, things

:56:47.:56:51.

that have never been seen before. We are looking forward to that and

:56:52.:56:54.

putting that out there for the fans to pick up. I've been doing this

:56:55.:57:01.

since I was nine or ten years old. It is like second nature to us. It

:57:02.:57:07.

just falls into place. We get some down time and I guess you just want

:57:08.:57:11.

to chill out and be by yourself and hang loose. Can I ask who chooses

:57:12.:57:17.

your outfits? When you are younger and you see the older stuff there is

:57:18.:57:21.

a theme that you are all connected in some way. What happens now when

:57:22.:57:27.

you are on stage? I just say I'm going to wear this tonight, cool.

:57:28.:57:33.

You go out there and give 100%. He looks good today. He looks really

:57:34.:57:43.

dapper. He's saying he looks like your attorney! You are a bit more

:57:44.:57:50.

casual in sportswear, so you are the fit casual one. And you are just

:57:51.:57:55.

chilled. Just relaxed. What can people expect at the concerts? Your

:57:56.:58:01.

favourites, their favourites. Doing all of our hit songs. It is hard to

:58:02.:58:06.

sing all of those hit songs in one two-hour show, sometimes we just

:58:07.:58:08.

sing the verse and go to the chorus and go to the next song but we try

:58:09.:58:14.

and give the fans as many songs. So there is a medley so you can tick

:58:15.:58:17.

them off the list. Two hours, there is a lot to get through. Yes. We

:58:18.:58:23.

have Ed Jackson party and have fun. Do you wear your sunglasses all the

:58:24.:58:29.

time? We are feeling decidedly uncool. I just got into the UK

:58:30.:58:35.

yesterday. Sobered the jet lag, came from Morocco. We had to put on our

:58:36.:58:43.

sunglasses. We are grateful for you for bringing the sun. You've

:58:44.:58:47.

obviously been listening to Helen with the forecast. Thank you for

:58:48.:58:48.

joining us. The UK leg of the 50th anniversary

:58:49.:58:55.

tour takes place in June and July including Blenheim Palace and

:58:56.:59:02.

Greenwich. This is where we say goodbye to

:59:03.:59:03.
