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. | |

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 | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
like a fairly solid if occasionally somewhat ordinary and somewhat | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
televisual drama but lifted high There is a moment where | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
he is praying for rain, I think he is aware | :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. | |
to get six laughs in order to be The performances are | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
all really well judged. Not least Lindsay Duncan who plays | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
a character that could easily tip over into caricature - | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
the controlling grandmother who wants the child to fully explore | :23:10. | :23:11. | |
all her intellectual potential. In another drama, it could have been | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
somewhat demonised but Linsay Duncan I thought it was well judged, | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
great performances all the way round and I came out feeling joyous, | :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 | :29:11. | :29:13. | |

damaged after it was struck by a Philippine registered container | :31:05. | :31:07. | |

the south-west Coast of Denmark for the 33rd International | :32:35. | :32:36. | |
Kite Flyers Meeting. 5,000 kite flyers from across | :32:37. | :32:39. | |
the world have gathered on the island of Fanoe | :32:40. | :32:42. | |
for the three day event. Apparently with its optimal wind | :32:43. | :32:52. | |
conditions and 700 metre long beach the island is perfect for flying | :32:53. | :32:55. | |
kites of all shapes and sizes. I like the giraffe wobbling out | :32:56. | :33:08. | |
there. I always thought it was quite difficult to have a flying giraffe. | :33:09. | :33:14. | |
You need to have a whale. It seems to fit better ergonomically. | :33:15. | :33:19. | |
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 -- | :33:48. | :33:53. | |
wherever that was. The world's top three golfers missed the cut. Tommy | :33:54. | :33:59. | |
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 | :35:34. | :35:43. | |
up for the British and Irish Lions They've two final warm up | :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, | :57:05. | :57:09. | |
versus accessibility, Sony kicked off its PlayStation | :57:10. | :57:13. | |
press event with a bang, thanks to a trailer from developer | :57:14. | :57:23. | |
Naughty Dog's latest adventure, The crowd certainly liked that Sony | :57:24. | :57:28. | |
made it snow in sunny LA for robo dinosaur mash-up | :57:29. | :57:39. | |
Horizon Zero Dawn's expansion, And everyone's favourite friendly | :57:40. | :57:41. | |
neighbourhood Spiderman swung into action in a new game | :57:42. | :57:49. | |
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 | :57:58. | :58:10. | |
to techno welding goggles, sorry, virtual reality, | :58:11. | :58:14. | |
by showing off a host of VR games, And an utterly bonkers | :58:15. | :58:21. | |
Final Fantasy VR fishing game. Final Fantasy 15: | :58:22. | :58:31. | |
Monster of the Deep. PlayStation is riding high | :58:32. | :58:35. | |
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. | |

with Ben Thompson and Naga Angry protests as survivors | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
of the Grenfell Tower fire vent their frustration | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
at the authorities. Demonstrators storm council offices | :00:15. | :00:23. | |

available, we are ensuring we will get the bottom of what's | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
happened, we will ensure people are rehoused, but we need to make | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
sure that actually happens. Hundreds of mourners attend | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
a late-night vigil for the dead and missing as the search | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
for victims enters its fourth day. Good morning, it's | :00:45. | :01:00. | |
Saturday the 17th of June. The Queen says it's difficult | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
to escape a "sombre national mood" after the recent tragedies | :01:03. | :01:12. | |
in Manchester and London and in a message to mark her | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
official birthday she says the country has been "resolute | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
in the face of adversity". PC Keith Palmer who tried to stop | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
the terror attack in Westminster is among those recognised | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
by the Queen's Birthday honours In sport, Rory McIlroy | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
misses the cut, but two Englishmen, Paul Casey | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
and Tommy Fleetwood, are part of a four-way tie | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
for the lead at the US Open. It will be hotter still today | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
and the first of if you hot days -- a few hot days for many of us, | :01:40. | :01:49. | |
with high levels of UV, More details in about 15 | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
minutes if you can join me. Angry protests have been held | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
in London as residents demand support for those affected | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
by the Grenfell Tower Fire. The government has pledged ?5 | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
million to help victims but Labour Around 70 people are thought | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
to be dead or missing and last night London came together in grief | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
with a candlelight vigil Understandably emotions are still | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
us now from there. Understandably emotions are still | :02:21. | :02:30. | |
very raw. You can see tributes being paid to those who are lost, missing, | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
those who family members know definitely perished. Yes, that's it. | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
Emotion is still extremely raw here and you can just see where we are is | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
about 100 metres from Grenfell Tower and it is just one of the places | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
outside a church where people are leaving flowers, lighting candles, | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
leaving teddy bears and of course posting pictures of their missing | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
loved ones. Inside the church I've been told they have received | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
thousands of boxes full of donations. People leaving food, | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
clothes, and any essentials. Here it is still very quiet this morning, | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
but it follows an extreme... A day yesterday that was full of | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
completely different emotions. for a community still coming | :03:17. | :03:17. | |
to terms with what has Side by side, hundreds held | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
a two-minute silence. Because we've done a candle | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
vigil we stopped a riot. Earlier on after the protest | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
the kids were getting angry because no one | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
is communicating what's going on. There is no co-ordination | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
at the moment. I've been here for three days | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
and I haven't seen one council official turn up here and take | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
responsibility and say, And that anger came to a head | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
earlier on, with protesters storming Kensington and Chelsea Town Hall, | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
demanding more information In Westminster, large crowds | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
gathered, picking their way to Downing Street before marching | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
along Regent Street to the BBC's headquarters, with a clear message | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
to the Prime Minister, who yesterday, protected | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
behind police officers, met victims and volunteers | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
at a local church. But her appearance didn't go | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
down well, with anger Mrs May has announced ?5 million | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
to help those affected, promising to rehome everyone and get | :04:23. | :04:32. | |
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 | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
missing, but those figures can only be confident once firefighters can | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
safely make their where -- their way into this building, this charred | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
building, that used to be home to so many people. | :05:42. | :05:42. | |
Thank you. As Frankie said, the Prime Minister | :05:43. | :05:43. | |
faced hostility during her visit Let's talk to our political | :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. | |
Thanks so much. US officials say seven crew members | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
are unaccounted for after a US Navy destroyer collided with a merchant | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
ship off the coast of Japan. The commander of the USS Fitzgerald | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
and another sailor had to be winched to safety | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
following the incident. Our Tokyo correspondent | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
Rupert Wingfield-Hayes said questions are being raised over how | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
the incident happened. It's very unusual and very serious | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
that such a sophisticated ship as this, the USS Fitzgerald, | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
one of the most modern and sophisticated warships | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
anywhere in the world, with an array of different types | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
of radar and sensors, how did this ship on a calm, | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
clear night collide with a large merchant vessel off | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
the coast of Japan? It's a very busy part of the sea, | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
but nevertheless these are very highly trained crews | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
on these ships and a lot of questions are being raised | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
by this as to how it It has caused extensive damage | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
to the USS Fitzgerald. I've seen pictures from the scene | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
and there's a huge gash down The bow of the cargo vessel appears | :09:42. | :09:44. | |

has acquitted a police officer who fatally shot an African-American | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
man after pulling him over Philando Castile's girlfriend, | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
who was beside him in the car, live-streamed his dying | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
moments on Facebook. We got pulled over for a busted | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
taillight in the back and the police Philando Castile was pulled over | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
by police because he had Minutes later he was | :10:25. | :10:33. | |
shot five times. His girlfriend filmed | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
the aftermath on Facebook, as the officer kept his gun | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
trained on the car. Oh my God, please don't | :10:44. | :10:45. | |
tell me he is dead. Please don't tell me my boyfriend | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
just went like that. Yes, I will keep my | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
hands where they are! Mr Castile was seen on police | :10:56. | :11:00. | |

was in danger, that Mr Castile was high on marijuana and he matched | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
the description of a robbery The jury believed him and found him | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
not guilty of manslaughter. Mr Castile's family could not | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
contain their grief and outrage My son loved this city | :11:20. | :11:22. | |

the fallout from the fatal fire at Grenfell Tower in West London | :12:37. | :12:46. | |
continues to cast a shadow over Mrs May has committed to rehousing | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
all of those left homeless within three weeks and pledged ?5 | :12:51. | :13:00. | |
million to help those affected, but community anger came | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
to the streets last night Just as for Grenfell! Her coming | :13:04. | :13:14. | |
over here, trying to speak to who? Voodoo you want to speak to? Had | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
your chance and now everyone will be angry go crazy. -- who do you. May | :13:20. | :13:27. | |
must go! All of the families are upset and angry. Just as for | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
Grenfell Tower mag the whole procedure is chaos. We live in a | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
modern world, why is it carried out like this? It doesn't make sense. At | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
the end of the day, if you care, show you care. I hope and pray they | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
turn it into Grenfell Tower more real park for all of those people. | :13:48. | :13:55. | |
-- Granville memorial park. Ask anyone, no one has seen anyone from | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
the council. There is no organisation, no official person at | :13:59. | :14:00. | |
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 | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
list has been released. Julie Walters and June Whitfield | :21:33. | :21:34. | |
have received Damehoods and there's also a knighthood | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
for Billy Connolly. In a break with tradition, | :21:38. | :21:39. | |
the Queen's Civilian Gallantry List has also been released | :21:40. | :21:41. | |
at the same time. Our Entertainment correspondent, | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
Lizo Mzimba, has more. I've been on record as saying why is | :21:45. | :21:55. | |
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 | :22:24. | :22:32. | |
Gone With The Wind star Olivia De Havilland. She says she is extremely | :22:33. | :22:39. | |
proud to be honoured. The same honour as well or Terry and June and | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
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 | :23:02. | :23:08. | |
and illustrator Raymond Briggs, has been made a CBE. Double BAFTA | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
winning a dress and Sarah Lancashire has been given an OBE. David Wylie | :23:16. | :23:23. | |
's said no-one was happier than his mum at him being made and OBEs for | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
services to charity and the art. Director and a funky and an actress | :23:29. | :23:36. | |
become NDEs. They made the film bell together in 2013. In the world of | :23:37. | :23:45. | |
music, 1960s Eurovision winner Sandy Shaw becomes an MBE. Charttopping | :23:46. | :23:56. | |
singer Ed Sheerin is also made an MBE. And duty or no go, the founder | :23:57. | :24:07. | |
of your's first like a minority ethnic Orchestra becomes an OBEs. As | :24:08. | :24:15. | |
a role model I have a lot of responsibility but it certainly | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
gives people coming from behind, people from the Black and minority | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
ethnic community the knowledge that they as well can follow a career in | :24:25. | :24:26. | |
classical music. Several people are being recognised | :24:27. | :24:26. | |
for their bravery, among them PC Keith Palmer, killed as he tried | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
to stop a man entering Parliament during the Westminster | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
attack in March. He's been awarded | :24:34. | :24:34. | |
a posthumous George Medal. Also recognised with | :24:35. | :24:36. | |
Queen's Gallantry medals, PCs Craig Nicholls | :24:37. | :24:38. | |
and Jonathan Wright, who arrested the man who killed | :24:39. | :24:40. | |
MP Jo Cox last June. Bernard Kenny, who was with the MP | :24:41. | :24:48. | |
when she was attacked, He just saw Jo and tried | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
to save her and we can't The two boys, similarly, | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
unarmed, just went in, they knew he was armed, | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
but not a thought. And the last surviving member | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
of the famous Dambuster raids, Johnny Johnson, has been | :25:06. | :25:15. | |
made an MBE, one of more He hopes it will be seen as a | :25:16. | :25:29. | |
tribute to his fellow flight crews. I am lucky, I am still alive. I | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
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 | :27:41. | :27:46. | |
that... There is a tiny fence in there. Show everybody there. | :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 | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
nowhere is going. Look, got it first! Catherine tackles courses | :28:09. | :28:13. | |
with her whole family. Including 6-year-old an hour. Moving into the | :28:14. | :28:22. | |
cities has helped the sport boom again. 50 nightclubs and in addition | :28:23. | :28:27. | |
to temperate courses, there are 500 permanent ones across the UK. It is | :28:28. | :28:31. | |
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 | :28:45. | :28:48. | |
will be hoping for medals at the World Championships in Estonia at | :28:49. | :28:52. | |
the end of this month while, at the other end of the scale... The | :28:53. | :28:57. | |
finish! Oh, dear, I forgot that big... There is a lot to think about | :28:58. | :29:04. | |
and I went way off track which is why I am so far behind the winner | :29:05. | :29:07. | |
who finished the course in ten minutes. So orienteering in Salford. | :29:08. | :29:14. | |
I think it is probably meant to be a little mora mode you know, | :29:15. | :29:17. | |
unfamiliar territory. That is the point. You need to find the | :29:18. | :29:20. | |
unfamiliar places. You need to find points and fund that looked quite | :29:21. | :29:29. | |
high-tech. He did enjoy it. He told us yesterday that he did enjoy it. | :29:30. | :29:33. | |
It did look like a lot of fun. I plan to convert everybody over the | :29:34. | :29:35. | |
next few days in the office. The big hair, the wild clothes | :29:36. | :29:39. | |
and most of all the fantastic music. The Jacksons are celebrating | :29:40. | :29:43. | |
their fiftieth year and Jermaine, Tito, Jackie and Marlon | :29:44. | :29:45. | |
will be here to tell us Hello, this is Breakfast, | :29:46. | :29:48. | |

Kat will be here with the sport and Helen will have | :30:34. | :30:38. | |
this weekend's weather. But first, a summary of this | :30:39. | :30:40. | |
morning's main news. Angry protests have been held | :30:41. | :30:44. | |
in London as residents demand more support for those affected | :30:45. | :30:47. | |
by the Grenfell Tower Fire. Around 70 people are thought to be | :30:48. | :30:50. | |
dead or missing and last night the community held a candlelit vigil | :30:51. | :30:53. | |
near to the site of the disaster. The government has pledged ?5 | :30:54. | :30:57. | |
million to help victims, The Queen has issued a statement | :30:58. | :30:59. | |
on her official birthday, in the wake of the recent tragedies | :31:00. | :31:08. | |
in London and Manchester. She says it's "difficult to escape | :31:09. | :31:14. | |
a very sombre national mood". During a visit to the Westway | :31:15. | :31:17. | |

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. | |

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 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, | :49:13. | :49:15. | |
they were distraught, they had lost somebody, | :49:16. | :49:20. | |
they had no idea what had happened There just seemed to be no | :49:21. | :49:22. | |
benefit in this interview. But that's the impression | :49:23. | :49:31. | |
you are starting to give. Later, on Wednesday, | :49:32. | :49:37. | |
news bulletins were presented from the site of the still burning | :49:38. | :49:39. | |
tower with Sophie Raworth fronting the News at Six on location, | :49:40. | :49:48. | |
and Hugh Edwards doing the same Scores of viewers said they found it | :49:49. | :49:51. | |
inappropriate to have that background while presenting news | :49:52. | :49:55. | |
about the tower and other topics. Sophie Raworth, chatting | :49:56. | :49:57. | |
about the DUP and Tim Farron while standing in front of a burning | :49:58. | :50:01. | |
tower block, presumably containing the charred corpses | :50:02. | :50:04. | |
of people's loved ones. A channel should pool | :50:05. | :50:08. | |
resources, share footage, And if you must, have the basic | :50:09. | :50:12. | |
respect and human decency to not treat it like a chat back | :50:13. | :50:19. | |
on a studio sofa. Thank you for all of your thoughts | :50:20. | :50:27. | |
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 | :52:39. | :53:01. | |
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 | :58:41. | :58:43. | |

available, we are ensuring we will get to the bottom of what has | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
happened, we will ensure that people are rehoused but we need to make | :00:47. | :00:47. | |
sure that actually happens. Hundreds of mourners attend | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
a late-night vigil for the 'dead and missing' as the search | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
for victims enters its fourth day. Good morning, it's | :00:55. | :01:09. | |
Saturday 17th June. The Queen says it's difficult | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
to escape a 'sombre national mood' after the recent tragedies | :01:14. | :01:18. | |

Hi. Good morning. Hotter still today and the first of a few today's for | :02:02. | :02:13. | |
many of us with high UV levels, very high in the south. More details in | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
about 15 minutes if you can join me. We will be back with you then, thank | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
you. Angry protests have been held | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
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. | |
are missing and three have been injured after a US Navy destroyer | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
collided with a merchant ship The commander of the USS Fitzgerald | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
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, | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
one of the most modern and sophisticated warships in the world | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
with an array of different types of radar and sensors, how did this | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
ship, on a night, collide with a large merchant vessel of the coast | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
of Japan. It is a busy part of the sea, these are highly trained crews | :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 | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
the cargo vessel appears to have penetrated the side of the Navy | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
destroyer both above and below the water line and has taken on water, | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
it is listing to one side although I understand from the US Navy that it | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
is not at risk of thinking. That is Rupert Wingfield Hayes in Tokyo. | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
A jury in the US state of Minnesota has acquitted a police officer | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
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. | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
We got pulled over for a busted tail light and the police, he's just | :10:38. | :10:50. | |
killed my boyfriend. Philando Castile was pulled over by the | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
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 | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
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 | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
said he felt his life was in danger, that tempt one Mac was high on | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
marijuana and matched the description of a robbery suspect, | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
the jury believed him and found him not guilty of manslaughter. A family | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
of Philando Castile could not contain their grief at the verdict. | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
My son loved this city and this city killed my son and a murderer gets | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
away. No justice pictorial no peace! This vigil sparked protests in | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
cities across the US. First, peaceful but the frustration at the | :12:01. | :12:11. | |
Fault line of racial division grew. Tonight again they gathered in the | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
city of Saint bought with a cry of justice. They marched, voices and | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
banners raised, the police have dismissed officer at Diamond | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
Reynolds despite the verdict and there is an appeal for calm but this | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
community is again in pain and determined to show it. Laura Becker, | :12:30. | :12:31. | |
BBC News, Washington. A former New Zealand trade | :12:32. | :12:37. | |

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 | :27:52. | :28:04. | |
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 | :29:06. | :29:09. | |
more hungry now so I'm going to get some breakfast. Not yet, you're not. | :29:10. | :29:15. | |

Did you see a lion? That has really tickled me. I didn't | :32:35. | :32:43. | |
spot a lion but I see what you are doing. | :32:44. | :32:44. | |
The Lions are busy in New Zealand. They will not be floating in the | :32:45. | :32:49. | |
air. They are about to take to the pitch | :32:50. | :32:53. | |
for the fifth game of their tour, feels like they have been there for | :32:54. | :32:57. | |
ages, it is a massive test for them, it's been a really busy morning of | :32:58. | :33:03. | |
rugby, we have had Scotland playing, England's women playing, onto those | :33:04. | :33:04. | |
results in a moment. The Lions have started their | :33:05. | :33:06. | |
toughest test of the tour so far - against the Maori All Blacks | :33:07. | :33:09. | |
in New Zealand. Warren Gatland's side includes six | :33:10. | :33:16. | |

pair Finn Russell and Allan Dell are going to join up | :33:32. | :33:34. | |
with the Lions squad too. They've both been in action this | :33:35. | :33:36. | |

the victory wrapped up It's a second consecutive win | :33:54. | :33:56. | |
for new head coach Gregor Townsend. Ireland were also in action this | :33:57. | :34:00. | |
morning, beating Japan 50-22. England's women are the world's | :34:01. | :34:02. | |
number one side this morning - The Red Roses had beaten | :34:03. | :34:05. | |
Australia and Canada already in the international series - | :34:06. | :34:08. | |
they'll take great confidence from these results in | :34:09. | :34:10. | |
what is a World Cup year. Lydia Thompson, Marlie Packer | :34:11. | :34:13. | |
and Vicky Fleetwood added second half tries to help | :34:14. | :34:15. | |
seal a 21-29 victory. Brilliant from England's and women, | :34:16. | :34:20. | |
the world's number one side now. For the first time since | :34:21. | :34:28. | |
World Rankings began in 1986, the world's top three golfers have | :34:29. | :34:31. | |
missed the cut at a major. Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy | :34:32. | :34:34. | |
and Jason Day are all out While they were struggling, | :34:35. | :34:36. | |
others were making light of the huge England's Paul Casey set the early | :34:37. | :34:40. | |
pace, finishing on seven under. There he was joined by another | :34:41. | :34:44. | |
Englishman Tommy Fleetwood. They are both part of a four-way | :34:45. | :34:46. | |
tie for the lead with the Americans Brian Harman | :34:47. | :34:49. | |
and Brooks Koepka. At least I know what's in there, | :34:50. | :34:52. | |
it's just a matter of getting it out of me and getting myself | :34:53. | :34:56. | |
in the right frame of mind. Yesterday, coming off | :34:57. | :34:59. | |
the injury and a month off, I got off to a good start, | :35:00. | :35:01. | |
but it sort of caught up with me But the more rounds I can play, | :35:02. | :35:07. | |
hopefully I'll get rid of all that stuff and hopefully strip it | :35:08. | :35:16. | |
down to what you saw British Number One Johanna Konta | :35:17. | :35:19. | |
will play in the semi finals at She overcame Australia's Ashleigh | :35:20. | :35:25. | |

England all rounder Samit Patel helped see Notts home with just | :36:10. | :36:11. | |
three balls to spare, and that means they're | :36:12. | :36:13. | |

Jonathan Rae and Northern Ireland talking to her earlier this week and | :36:40. | :36:57. | |
she said her sporting summer involves watching nervously as the | :36:58. | :37:01. | |
boys play tennis and then she's back on the road bringing that | :37:02. | :37:05. | |
grass-roots tennis to youngsters all around the country. | :37:06. | :37:07. | |
She contributes a lot. She does and deservedly receiving a | :37:08. | :37:17. | |
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. |
