Church services will be held today to remember the victims

of the Grenfell Tower fire in West London.

Police have revealed that 58 people are missing and are believed to have

died but that figure could still rise.

with volunteers and those left homeless.

Government staff have been drafted in to improve the response

to the disaster, as Nick Quraishi reports.

The devastation caused by the inferno stops people in their

tracks. The dark reality abundantly clear in broad daylight. For days

on, the community is still angry about a lack of communication,

communication and accountability. It's always the public that runs to

the rescue. Where's the authorities? Where are they? Residents, community

leaders and volunteers took their frustrations to Downing Street,

spending two hours with the Prime Minister. It was a robust

discussion, there was forceful emotion in the room, people were

able to say what they wanted to say and we felt that was listened to and

listened to carefully. Theresa May, who is coming for widespread

personal criticism over her handling of the crisis, said she'd heard the

concerns. The Prime Minister admitted:

Whitehall officials have been drafted in to help Kensington and

Chelsea Council cope with the response and the Red Cross will

provide psychological support. As people wait and pray for the

missing, church services today will remember those who didn't make it

out of Grenfell Tower. A reminder of the complex and lengthy process of

recovering bodies from this charred shell. Nick Quraishi, BBC News.

We can speak now to our correspondent, Simon Jones,

who is outside Notting Hill Methodist Church where one

We understand as well as the services today the co-ordination is

key and Whitehall staff have been drafted in to help? The outside of

this church has become a sea of flowers and also pictures of many of

the people missing, now sadly presumed dead. On the night of the

fire, churches like this one open their doors at 3am to welcome people

in, to offer support, then they collected donations in the following

days but a lot of people have been saying this really shouldn't be the

role solely of the Church and volunteers, where is the government

and the local council, why aren't they doing more? Stung by this

criticism is why the government has sent in a team of civil servants who

will be based at the council to try to improve the response. I want to

give you a sense of the geography here, the outside of the Church and

then we've got a police cordon here which is keeping people away because

just in the distance is the tower itself. Still all these days on

really quite a sight for people to seek. Now, today there will be a

church service in this particular church at around 11am -- see. Here

they're feeling they want to move on from the initial crisis management

after the initial dealing with the fire to really dealing with people's

fears and the effect it's had on them, a lot of people remain of

course very traumatised by what they saw and still buy this site behind

me. Thanks, Simon, we will be with him through the morning following

events. A fall in the number of people

who own their own home is fuelling inequality in Britain,

according to a new report. Research from the Resolution

Foundation think tank suggests that 10% of adults own around half

of the nation's wealth. Our business correspondent,

Joe Lynam, has more. The awful fire at Grenfell Tower has

highlighted for many the issue of inequality in Britain. Dozens dead

in the wealthiest borough in the UK. Now an independent think tank has

said inequality has worsened since the great recession because fewer

people own their own homes. The Resolution Foundation says property

ownership is now spread less evenly than salaries and incomes are. It

says the richest 10% of the population own ?5 trillion, or half

the UK's wealth, while the top 1% of 14% of Britain's Wealth. By

contrast, 15% of adults have no or negative wealth. Wealth is arguably

the biggest determinant of living standards of people's lives but yet

it barely features in today's living standards debates and that's a deal

because our research shows wealthiest BARB less bread and

incomes and because of declining property ownership, declining home

ownership, for least wealthy households that inequality has

started to go up. The report is part of a wider study into a growing gap

between older and younger people. The foundation says older people

have incubated wealth due to wider housing -- rising house prices as

well is contemplated pensions which the young won't enjoy. The

government says we want to build an economy that works for everyone.

Income inequality is at its lowest level since the mid-19 80s and the

lowest paid saw their wages grow faster than for 20 years. Joe Lynam,

BBC News. The government says it intends

to double the length of the new Parliamentary session

to two years to give MPs the maximum possible time to scrutinise

Brexit legislation. The unusual move will mean next

year's Queen's Speech The government says the decision

was part of measures to build the broadest possible

consensus for Brexit. A forest fire in central Portugal

has killed at least 24 people. 16 of the victims died

in their vehicles when they became trapped as they tried

to escape the flames. A deadly mix of their heat wave have

fanned the flames. Now threatening to engulf homes, burning

uncontrollably, this fire is already one of the worst forest fires in

Portugal in decades. More than 20 people have died, most of them

trapped in their cars. A number of people were reported to be missing.

TRANSLATION: It was a big tragedy. We've already identified 24 victims

but this number could rise. All of those who died were on a road in the

same fire at the same place. It started on Saturday at 3pm local

time in a mountainous area 200 kilometres north-east of Lisbon.

Around 500 firefighters were called to the scene. TRANSLATION: I was

there staring at my house, I don't know what will happen with it now!

Officials described the fire spreading violently, some properties

have been destroyed. The local mayor said there wasn't enough

firefighters to deal with the number of villages at risk. Nimesh Thaker,

are taking place to mark the first anniversary of the death

of the Labour MP Jo Cox. The Cure Get-together was organised

by her family to celebrate her life and unite communities, as Fiona

Trott explains. The perfect day for a great

get-together. Hundreds of people of all ages all gathered here at Green

Park. They just wanted to come together, be neighbourly and show

support for the family of their old MP. The kids are over there at the

moment eating too many pancakes, we had about six cakes and three ice

creams so they'll be bouncing around for the rest of the date. It's a

sort of thing she would have thrown herself into, she would have been

buzzing around to as many as possible and that sense of how do we

focus on those things, as Jo spoke about in her maiden speech, the

things we have in common. We spend so much time fixating on the

differences and in fact people here and across the country will be

coming together for a moment and celebrating the things we have in

common, which this weekend includes good weather, which is a nice

change. 120,000 are then side taking place. This national celebration of

what people have in common continues throughout the rest of today. Fiona

Trott, BBC News, West Yorkshire -- 120,000 events are taking place.

Let's talk more about that story, which claims wealth inequality

Conor D'Arcy is from the Resolution Foundation think

tank, which wrote the report, and we can speak to him now.

Good morning to you and thank you for getting up bright and early to

talk to us. What has caused this growth in wealth inequality? Wealth

has always been quite an equally spread, to some extent whether you

have a job or not you have some income but the size of wealth you've

got is really unequally distributed and that's a long-term trend. What

we saw in the 1990s and the 2000s was more and more people were able

to buy their own home and that was a really important way of reducing

wealth inequality as house prices rose quickly and that was a big boon

to lower and middle income families. What we've seen since the recession,

it's not news it is harder to get on the housing ladder now, the amount

you have to save to get a mortgage in the first place is a lot higher

and that's been an important trend and we seen this growing wealth

inequality against and is the start of the recession. The office of

national statistics today report earlier this year and they said

household disposable income and income inequality is falling. Who do

we believe, they're more you? They are two different things we are

talking about. There's income, how much you have coming in from work or

from your benefits, whatever is coming in from day to day and what

you have to spend. Wealth is what we think of when what is left over

after that spend, your financial assets, how much you have in

savings, current accounts, how much property wealth you own and how much

pension wealth you own. There's two different trends and definitely

income inequality has been flat and fallen a bit, and that is welcome,

but what we've seen in wealth inequality is it is still really

high and it is creeping up again in the last few years. You mention

house prices, for a lot of people the value of their home is not a

realisable assets for much of their life anyway. Lots of people own a

home which on the face of it is worth quite a lot but they are cash

poor nonetheless. That's a really good point. Just because people have

lots of well that's not necessarily a guarantee things are hunky-dory.

It is the value of having your own home. As was mentioned in the piece,

we are interested in how this plays out across the life course and

across different generations. If you're a young person today trying

to get on the housing ladder, that's not just a place for you to live in

the short you're building up an asset you can rely on in retirement

so when you're finished working you don't have money coming into the

same extent as during your working life but if you're renting you still

have to find money to cover your renting costs. There's a long-term

dynamic that is really important in wealth. This issue to some extent

has been thrown into sharp relief this week with what happened with

the tragedy at Grenfell Tower and people have talked about such an

affluent borough as Kensington and Chelsea Council yet people living in

the conditions and the clearly dangerous situation they found

themselves. Does that play into what you're talking about here? Obviously

first and foremost it's a tragedy what happened. I think there is

massive inequality in London in general but specifically in

Kensington, it is hard to look past that. But what we're talking about

are two different trends, were talking about whether people own

their own homes and whether they have wealth. Whatever home you live

in a basic should be that there is health and safety annual meeting

minimum standards. I'm not an expert on health and safety so I can't

really comment. Even if we do see rising inequality and fewer people

owning their own homes, health and safety is a basic everyone should be

able to rely on. Thank you very much indeed for your time, Conor D'Arcy

from the Resolution Foundation. It is quarter past six and the

Sunshine is out. I didn't wear sunscreen, but not enough yesterday.

Today will be another scorching day. Helen will tell us about it. But

look at this morning! This is the view at Salford, just glorious. One

of the first Acer have come into work without a coat. Helen has a

misty picture behind her. I just want to show you something a

little different. Football on the beach in Wales, how lovely. And the

sun is strong, of course, and I will talk about that. As strong as it

gets and unusually high. This is the picture in Southwark. It is on its

way out already, dismissed. Just at this time of year with a quiet night

it will then be a little misty in places. But that is being burnt away

as I speak and we see temperatures reaching 30 degrees yesterday,

equally as hot today, possibly one or two degrees more for most parts

of the country. Except in the north-east of Scotland again. I came

in without a coat today as well. I won't need one to go home either.

We're not all enjoying the sunshine. It is a bleak picture across the

north-west Highlands. The rain yesterday with dribs and drabs and

low cloud. Not a day for taking to the hills. The eastern side of

Scotland, much of the eastern Northern Ireland you can see again,

the north-west of Northern Ireland has more cloud. Across England and

Wales, apart from morning mist and sea fog it is basically plain

sailing and wall-to-wall sunshine. Even less cloud than yesterday. It

is the way it continues. We will see Fairweather cloud bubbling up and

rain coming and going across the north of Scotland. Just the outside

chance today, because of the heat is more than anything else and the wind

coming together, that we could see a late afternoon thunderstorm. That is

the exception, rather than the rule. Most of us will remain dry and hot.

Potentially reaching 32 across south-east Anglia. A degree up

elsewhere. So you do not need me to tell you that pollen levels are

high, very high in places. As we have already demonstrated this

morning, the sun is quite strong as well. Write the way across England

and Wales, you very rarely see this very high category so please take

precautions. The strength of the sun not driven by temperature so even if

you have a refreshing seabreeze it is still as strong. The heat is here

to stay. You can see on Monday in Sheffield Manchester. Temperatures

drop a little bit is that northern weather front advances towards the

south. The heat is with us in the south and till the middle of the

week. That does look nice. This week Mark Kermode joins

Jane Hill to discuss this week's "Churchill" and "Whitney -

Can I Be Me." Hello and welcome to

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

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

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

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

the new documentary by Nick He gives some fantastic

performances. He plays Winston Churchill,

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

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

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

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

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

very flawed and very dangerous and is going to end possibly

in tragic loss of life, He is sort of flashing

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

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

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

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

everybody that this is not This will be the greatest

campaign we have mounted Operation Overlord will require

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

most essentially a quarter All this will be focused in one

place, taking the German This plan may be admirable

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

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

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

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

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

is carried shoulder high by Brian He brings an awful lot

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

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

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

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

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

conflicted, who is haunted by the ghost of Gallipoli,

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

are walking towards tragedy. There are very few people

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

is Miranda Richardson, as Clemmie. Actually performing alongside

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

it is a real tribute to Miranda Richardson that she holds

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

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

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

eyes we originally meet Winston She then has a relationship

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

through the drama in a way which feels much too much

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

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

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

like a fairly solid if occasionally somewhat ordinary and somewhat

televisual drama but lifted high There is a moment where

he is praying for rain, I think he is aware

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

are the main reasons I have only seen the

trailer for Gifted. The subject matter struck me

as really interesting. This has potential

to be interesting. And the poster I have

to say looked very cheesy. From the director of

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

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

expecting very much. The story is a single man

who is raising a precociously He wants her to go

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

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

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

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

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

funnier than you expect I have this thing that something has

to get six laughs in order to be The performances are

all really well judged. Not least Lindsay Duncan who plays

a character that could easily tip over into caricature -

the controlling grandmother who wants the child to fully explore

all her intellectual potential. In another drama, it could have been

somewhat demonised but Linsay Duncan I thought it was well judged,

great performances all the way round and I came out feeling joyous,

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

much it did what it set Your third choice today

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

record, massive track He has made things in the past

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

of documentary style. Originally he put himself

into the documentaries a lot. The figure who walks

around with a boom mic, He has very much taken

a back seat here. You hear his voice a couple

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

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

documentary but never did. It essentially traces her story

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

he understood the pressures because he was Bobby

Brown, you know. He understood her pressures

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

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

the film is more forgiving, more affectionate than some

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

Whitney Houston fan, I did not know that

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

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

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

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

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

like this does tell you that. Obviously the comparison

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

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

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

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

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

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

something from a distance It is to do with the way

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

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

themselves involved in fame and fortune and finding it very

difficult to deal with that The film investigates

the relationship with the people around her, whether

they helped her or not. There's an interview

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

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

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

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

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

made some really brilliant records which I really had not

thought of like that before A public waste shown

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

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

and remarkable and very, And I think as a piece

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

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

which was filmed in 1952 Now we have Rachel Weisz playing

this fantastically mysterious Is she the femme fatale

or is she somebody who is being completely misread by

everybody around her? What the film manages to do

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

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

because the film all the way through keeps you guessing

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

was she read the script, she decided for herself

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

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

I don't want to know, The film manages

to keep that secret. I love what you have

chosen as a DVD. Perhaps a little too understated,

Loving, but fascinating. That was the criticism

levelled against it. This is basically Ruth Negga -

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

racist laws to get married, and the understatement is actually

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

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

people who are fighting They don't want to be

the figureheads. They just want to be left alone

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

you absolutely believe in. I love the understatement of it

but I know that that'sexactly the thing that had made some people

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

more controlled level, and I just think that

just add to its power. It is a remarkable

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

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

all film news and reviews And all the previous

programs are on the BBC with Roger Johnson and Naga

Munchetty. Coming up before 7am,

Helen will have the weather. But a summary of this

morning's main news. Church services will be held today

to remember the victims of the Grenfell Tower

fire in West London. Police have revealed that 58 people

are missing and are believed to have died but that figure

could still rise. Yesterday, Theresa May

met with volunteers The Prime Minister admitted

the government's response, in the hours following the disaster,

had not been good enough. A report by the think tank the

Resolution Foundation claims British wealth inequality is growing. They

suggest the fall in the number of people that own their own home has

resulted in a widening gap between the rich and poor. The government

says income inequality is at its lowest level since the midnight in

80s., -- mid- 1980s. The government says it intends

to double the length of the new Parliamentary session

to two years to give MPs the maximum possible time to scrutinise

Brexit legislation. The unusual move will mean next

year's Queen's Speech The government says the decision

was part of measures to build the broadest possible

consensus for Brexit. At least 24 people have died so far

and more than 20 others have been injured in a forest fire in central

Portugal. 16 of the victims died in their vehicles as they try to escape

but became trapped by flames. Portugal's been experiencing a

heatwave with temperatures exceeding 40 Celsius in several regions.

Seven sailors missing after a US warship collided with a container

For opposition teams, the sight of 15 New Zealand rugby

players doing the traditional Maori haka is intimidating enough.

So imagine seeing more than 7,000 people take up the challenge.

This is the world record attempt undertaken before the British

and Irish Lions took on the All Blacks yesterday

They had to perform for five minutes to officially break the record

Kat is shaking her head. It was the Maori All Blacks. Not the other All

Blacks shall we say. It wasn't just locals

taking part, though, a number of Lions'

supporters also joined in. That is a good one. I suspect the

All Blacks were a good deal more intimidating than those guys. The

Maori All Blacks do the scariest Harker, did you see it before the

match? They were in a line and they had a special Spear -- haka. The

Maori All Blacks do it best. That haka was directed at the lions team

hotel. 7000 people all doing it towards the lions. Even the lions

fans were joining in. Did they break the world record? They tried to.

More Lions news coming up because the squad for the next team has been

named, we will go through that. But we will start with golf.

After day three at golf's US Open, England's Tommy Fleetwood remains

firmly in contention at the top of the leaderboard.

He sits just one shot behind the overall leader Brian Harman

going into the final round in Wisconsin.

For Tommy Fleetwood, there is plenty to smile about. For getting amongst

the leaders in Wisconsin is one thing, staying there is quite

another. This weekend it is a crowded place. Still he was making

his presence felt, progressing steadily in the right direction. For

others that didn't appear to be the case but here for Justin Thomas even

going in the wrong direction can work out perfectly in the end. His

round of nine under par is a prominent record and was enough to

put him for the moment ahead of the rest. While he flourished, others

floundered. England's Paul Casey's hopes of staying in contention lost

somewhere in that deep, deep rough. They call Day three moving day,

there was now plenty of that on the leaderboard and with shots like this

the American Brian Harman was heading towards the very top.

Fleetwood remains in the crowd just one stroke behind, plenty still to

smile about but the US Open has rarely been more open. Adam Wild,

BBC News. This is my first time in contention

in a major so whatever happens I'll be doing my best and seeing how well

I can finish and that's that really. That's all you can do. But it will

be a pleasure to go out on a Sunday trying to win a major.

And you've played golf with him? It's fantastic, I'm following him

very closely because I was lucky enough to play with him, they always

do an event before a big competition called a Pro-Am, the professionals

play the very lucky amateurs so I played with him ahead of the BMW

Pro-Am at Wentworth but he didn't make the cut! I think you jinxed

him? Maybe I was his good luck charm for the next one. There you go,

maybe all down to you. Great to see his absolute delight at being in the

next. There you are lining up together. The little one. It was

with Jodie Kidd and Georgy Bingham with Tommy. He was a very chilled

out Guy. Very lovely. He will need to be chilled out if he's going to

hang on at the top of the leaderboard at the US Open.

Warran Gatland has named his side to face the Chiefs on Tuesday

and has included all six controversial call-ups he made

Ireland hooker Rory Best captains the side, with the bulk of the squad

that beat the Maori All Blacks yesterday aren't playing

so they can prepare for the first Test against the All Blacks

next Saturday.

Gatland says those involved on Tuesday will be playing

for themselves and for the whole squad.

We brought you Scotland's historic win over Australia here on Breakfast

yesterday morning, and that was just the start of it as England completed

a 2-0 series victory over Argentina after winning the second test

Full-back Mike Brown broke clear before producing a brilliant off

load to send Piers Francis over for a great try before half time.

England went on to win 35-25 but Eddie Jones's squad was missing

30 of their best players, largely due to the Lions tour.

Very pleased. Today we found a way to win, we were outgunned in the

first half, second half we came back in the forwards particularly and

scrums and our malt defence improved and that got us back in the game and

then our ability to score off their mistakes I thought was fantastic.

But with tickets at a premium for the match and talk of over half

a billion people watching the game on TV, everyone's hoping

don't see any relevance of the first game here because you can never tell

how the particular team starts a tournament. Some teams start very

confidently and they fade off, some teams may not have the best arts and

they come back amazingly, which Pakistan have done. Everyone is

aware of the kind of talent they have in their team -- best starts.

I said before the Edgbaston game I thought they were very calm, but

How about a bit of Sunday morning trivia.

Where do you think the running shoe was invented?

You'd be forgiven if you thought America or Jamaica.

But the first trainer, designed in 1895, was the brainchild

I kept quiet because I knew the answer but the only reason I did is

because I read it on there! It's facts like this that

Historic England says more It's launching a campaign

to improve people's knowledge Celia Richardson from

the organisation joins us now, along with the social

historian Charlotte Wildman. Thanks for coming in. Sealy, are you

surprised by some of the things you found out, like the trainer came

from Bolton originally, what other things did you find out? -- Celia.

Everyone thought the first bungee jump was in New Zealand but it was

in Bristol off the Clifton suspension bridge. There's lots of

amazing history and inventions here, people think they happened

elsewhere. The first thing we asked was where was the atom split, people

said Geneva but actually it happened two miles from here in Manchester.

So we don't celebrate our successes and off? Absolutely and this is what

the campaign is about. -- enough. Why should we know and what is this

all about? It's a fascinating survey. I was most struck by the

inventions we associate with other countries, the story about

Shrewsbury, the skyscrapers, we think of them associated with New

York, but it is so interesting because these inventions give towns

and cities their claim to being unique, which is so key to local

pride and civic pride and I love hearing people's stories about their

hometown and any kind of invention or first thing that cap on there,

it's great to hear in the user as so it's great to hear more stories we

have lost coming through -- first thing that happened there, it's

great to hear enthusiastic. -- enthusiastic.

Charlotte, you were talking about how communities or areas like to be

able to claim things, have you heard of pasty gate? I haven't. You have.

There's an argument about where it came from, Cornwall or Devon,

Cornwall having previously claimed it, but now Devon is claiming it,

not the Cornish pasty, just the pasty. How would you go about coming

down on one side on this argument? There's a mention of it in the 15th

century text of the pasty. It's the first mention of the pasty in

literature it happened in Devon. I mention this on Devonshire radio,

then Cornish radio got in touch, we had lots of people saying how dare

you -- mentioned. I understand, I'm from the north-east, I know a bit

about local pride but I didn't understand how the star rivalry was

between Devon and Cornwall. There were cave drawings of Pastis in

Cornwall? -- understand how fierce the rivalry was. How do we celebrate

the things we are good at and what we have given to the world? --

Pastis. It's important because early in the 20th century local identity

would be linked to things like work and trade, every town had a clear

trade and identity but we have seen such massive cultural and social

shifts that we have lost that sense of local identity and civic pride,

so these kinds of links to invention, uniqueness, difference

are really helpful to construct that sense of uniqueness and celebratory

local pride. Who knew that the pencil was invented in Cumbria, the

tubular band came from Oldham. I didn't know. There used to be a sign

in Oldham that said welcome to the home of the tubular bandage.

Helen, even though many of us are celebrating how warm it was, in the

north-west of the UK, they did not have such a great day. Now, they did

not. Good morning to you both. They probably will not have a good day I

first glimpse of where we doing don't have sunshine. You can see

this more extensive than yesterday. These spots of cloud understand fog

but just like yesterday we have an extensive cloud across the

north-west of Northern Ireland Scotland hence the levels of UV.

Just for the benefit of Roger, these levels are very high and very

unusual here in the UK so it is as strong as the sunshine gets.

Unrelated to the temperature, the strength of the sunshine but it does

uncomfortable night for some. We won't have that hit across the far

As people wait and pray for the missing, church services

A reminder of the complex and lengthy process of recovering

We can speak now to our correspondent, Simon Jones,

who is outside Notting Hill Methodist Church where one

Good morning, Simon. The outside of this church has become a sea of

flowers. Many wanting to remember those who are lost and the posters

around of those missing sadly presumed dead. Many churches around

here open their doors at 3am taking people in and offering shelter. In

the days that followed they were the site for people to bring donations

to help the community but a lot of people have been saying while it's

great the church has been doing this and volunteers have been doing this,

where is the government and the local council, people are asking,

why haven't they organised this? Stung by some of this criticism the

government has announced a team from central government, central

government, will come in at the council offices to give a more

co-ordinated response. I want to give you a sense of where we are,

the church, a focal point as it has been through much of the week, a

police cordon here guarding the scene and then just behind me we've

actually got the shell of the tower, still quite a sight all these days

on. The focus in the church today will be a service at 11am and the

idea is it will be a chance for people to contemplate what has

happened over the past few days. There's a hope from church leaders

that after the initial crisis management they can now offer

support to people who have been so terribly affected by this because

they know the scars of this for people who witnessed it and lost

loved ones, those scars will not be quick to heal. Simon, thank you very

much. A report by the think tank

the Resolution Foundation claims that Britain's wealth

inequality is growing. It suggests that a fall

in the number of people who own their own home has

resulted in a widening gap The government says income

inequality is now at its lowest Wealth is arguably the biggest

determinant of living standards over people's lives but yet it barely

features in today's living standards debates, and that's a big deal

because our analysis shows wealth is far more unequally spread

across scoiety than incomes are and because of declining

property ownership, declining home ownership, for the least wealthy

households that inequality has The government says it intends

to double the length of the new Parliamentary session

to two years to give MPs the maximum possible time to scrutinise

Brexit legislation. The unusual move will mean next

years Queen's Speech Our political correspondent

is in our London newsroom. It is unusual, how significant a

move would this be? I think what it shows is the government's concern

really about the opposition potentially to Brexit legislation

now it doesn't have that majority in government. This will give MPs a

longer period of time to scrutinise that but crucially what it would

mean is you wouldn't have to have another Queen's speech next year.

The Queen's speech this year has already been delayed waiting for the

government to do a deal with the DUP, or will have to rely on the DUP

to get their Queen's speech through. By having this two-year period it

won't have to go through that next time round so the Queen's speech

next time they don't have to try to get support to get it through and

avoid the risk of it being voted down. It is something that has been

done before. If you remember 2010, so from 2012 to 2012 the coalition

government had a two-year parliament to get through the coalition

agreement so it's been done before but it is very unusual. A sign of

how difficult the Brexit legislation, getting it through

parliament, could prove to be. Picked up on a story that's in one

of the newspapers this morning, on the front page of the Sunday Times,

Tories tell May you have ten days, suggesting this is coming from the

grassroots to MPs basically saying Theresa May has to shake up in their

words or face a challenge for the Tory leadership. Can you tell us any

more on that? We got that story and a couple of stories in the paper

today suggesting she could be facing some kind of stalking horse

challenge from backbenchers. This is something that has been spoken about

since she didn't get the majority she wanted in the election last

week, so her position is tenuous because there are those Eurosceptics

who are concerned because she didn't get the majority potentially the

approach in terms of the Brexit talks may be watered down. They want

her to stick to the promise she made about leaving the single market, the

customs union, not having the European Court of Justice in charge

of any of our laws, and also sticking to that ending of the

freedom of movement. If she moves away from that then certainly her

position could be tenuous. Her leadership has been brought into

question again this week because of the dealings around the Grenfell

tower disaster. Her leadership is in question, she has a lot of people on

the backbenches worried about this, concerned about it, so we'll see

what happens. Certainly another leadership challenge potentially but

we don't know for sure. Thanks very much indeed.

Time to look at the weather, any advice for people going out in the

sun? I do have some advice, let's look at the blue skies outside our

building in Salford Quays. The son is going to be strong, Helen's

advice will be the same as mine, put on plenty of sunscreen if you're out

and about today. Do you often follow your own advice? Yesterday I did but

somewhat belatedly. In a game of lads and dads football on a beach in

south Wales resulted in a burnt forehead. You have a problem when

you get older as a chap because your air thins and your skin is exposed.

And it isn't skin that has been exposed for many decades. It is

looking beautiful in Salford Quays this morning, record temperatures in

the south yesterday, 30.2, 30.4? 30.2, and it could be 30.2 today. We

couldn't resist getting our camera teams around the country to film

with you. Glorious day. Wonderful. I think we

may have another glorious day. Poor old Helen is having... The sun has

in the 20s across eastern side of Ireland. And it will still be quite

bright at times. For us, we start the day in the high teens and the

temperature will whip up rapidly. It will be another hot day. Just the

outside chance, I must mention but it is a rare chance, the late

afternoon thunderstorm in East Anglia and the south-east. It is

where we see the intense heat and, yes, we will probably see higher

temperatures than yesterday by one or two degrees. Another bit of

information here, showers for the final day of golf in Wisconsin. The

heat is likely to hang around and we will start tomorrow warm and another

hot day on the cards. More for you later.

With humble beginnings in a Shropshire garden,

it has bloomed into one of the BBC's most iconic programmes -

with an audience of up to 2.5 million

So, as Gardeners' World turns 50, Kay Alexander has been digging

through the decades to investigate how a show, rooted in plants

and personalities, has experienced such enduring success.

50 years ago the advent of colour such enduring success.

50 years ago the advent of colour television enabled the BBC to make a

new hoarder cockerel programme and Gardeners' World was born. It was

presented by the legendary Percy from his garden near Shrewsbury.

September. The sun still shining. In my family, everything stopped dead

for Gardeners' World. My mother was a keen gardener and so was this

little girl. I am still a big fan of the programme. Peter was one of the

presenters in the 1970s and is still a big influence on gardening today.

Percy was God and everybody watched every Friday without question. And

if he showed a plant on his programme than by ten a.m. The next

day they would be sold out across the country. The effect was

remarkable. In 50 years there are a number of personalities who have

made their name on Gardeners' World, including Geoff Hamilton whose

garden was one of the eight gardens used over the years. After he died

in 1996, Alan Titchmarsh became the next main presenter. If this does

not make you drawl, nothing will. I think I am proud of having had a

hand in Gardeners' World and having been a part of its history. My

mission in life is to impress upon people the pleasure to be gained

from growing things and the importance of keeping our planet

Green. It is the sharp end of looking after the planet, gardening.

Since the programme debuted in 1967 it has gone through all sorts of

fashions and trends and styles. Is there a magic ingredient that keeps

it fresh and exciting? What are the magical things about Gardeners'

World is the fact you can join the head gardener in their garden every

Friday. It is a value of looking over the garden gate to see what

they are doing but at the same time it is about plans, passionate plants

people in the those plants grow. Lumbering outside broadcast vehicles

of the past have been replaced by the latest technology. But what

about the future of the programme? Every gardener knows that every

season is different and new and exciting and if you can just capture

the excitement, you will not have to worry about the future. Just go with

it. No problem there. So happy Golden birthday, Gardeners' World.

And here is to the next 50 years! Happy birthday! That is a who's who

of presenters. Have you got some prize-winning peas

or a spectacular display We'd love to see photos

of what you've been growing Get in touch in all the usual ways,

Breakfast from BBC News. Time now for a look

at the newspapers. The poet Ian McMillan

is here to tell us what's the colour in the Times. I was

thinking about... It is in all the papers. Such a big story. I will

hold up the express. Here we go. I was thinking about the fact that

there are certain photographs that are part of people 's lives. The

photos were wedding, the photo when you graduate, and there is always a

traditional trooping the colour balcony at Buckingham Palace shot.

This year it is very interesting because we have Prince George but

Rosella's hand is pointing off to the side and I think he's showing

Prince George went a gesture. You can see a bit of string attached

from Philip's hand to that of Georges and he is showing him how to

wave. You can't see the string, but would it not be great if you could?

All of the generations are being photographed. And he's showing

Prince William the wrong way to do it. He does need to get it right.

You have to get your wave right. The story from the Mirror about

passenger delays. I am always on the train and I am always late. The

railways invented time as we know because before railways it was tend

to fall in your village and 85 to four in Bath and something else

again in Salford. The railways invented the idea of time happening

at the same time all the time. What it says here is that we now have a

29% rise in trains being cancelled or arriving late. It makes me think

that maybe the railway companies are reinventing time again. So you turn

up on time for your train but it is late and it doesn't really matter.

Maybe we just up like you did before the railways regulated time. The

trains would be on time or often. I'm sure you're not the only one. I

do try to get the train before the one I need. If I need to be

somewhere return, I try to find a trend that arrives at nine. -- a

train that arrives at nine. What is Gorp? Gorpcore? I'm going to go to

Gardeners' World. Apparently it stands for granola oats raisins and

peanuts. You need to keep those in your pockets of your giant shorts. I

will get some giant shorts and hiking gear is the innit thing as

well. The outsize shirts. That is the only way they seem to fit. A

huge tent size shirt with some Gorp in the pockets. Denim cut-offs don't

drag in the mud. Lots of pockets because they are useful for

festivals like Glastonbury. And wellingtons. I have a pair from when

I used to work on a building site and because of a frightened of you

stealing them, used to get them in different colours. One thing, one

blue. So I will go in my wanting, one blue pair. Somebody will think

you are making an incredibly cool fashion statement. Fantastic. More

story this morning. Church services will be held today

to remember the victims Yesterday, residents and volunteers

met with Theresa May at Downing We can speak now to

Conservative Councillor, Eve Allison who sits on Kensington

and Chelsea Borough Council. Thank you for talking to us this

morning. Would you tell us what you have been hearing from residents? We

have covered a lot about the horrific fire but, also, the emotion

after it as people are frustrated about the information they are or

are not getting. LO. Can you hear me? Good morning. Good morning to

you all. I would just like to say that the mood is sombre and we, the

community will continue to do what we can. The danger is when hopes

start to fade and from hope then what you find is despair. That is

why I am willing to put my head above the parapet and come out and

step up to the plate. I am going to go one step further to say it is on

our watch. It is our responsibility. We do have a duty of care to our

residents and whatever findings and failings come out, they have to come

out soon because all the community, the victims of the families, people

need answers and the longer things procrastinate like this I think, as

I said in my first sentence, hope will quickly dissipate and become

despair and from that you will have disruption and problems as we have

already seen. Tell me about what complaints, if at all any, or what

concerns any residents brought up from Grenfell Tower, because you are

on the property scrutiny committee. I am indeed. A committee that I have

very little voice on so this is why it is important that I stand here

and say what has to be said and all too often we are a little too

concerned with how, if I could say it, the immediate streetscape looks,

how a building fits into other buildings. Does it detract from the

immediate streetscape was to mark I think, maybe, I was not involved in

the actual planning of the recent refurbishment, obviously I do sit on

housing and property scrutiny committee. From what I am hearing,

it would have been ideal if the part of the refurbishment package had

looked at trying to gentrifying inside, not just outside. That is

what I would like to say. Thank you very much for your time. The

Conservative councillor for the Chelsea and Kensington Council.

The Andrew Marr Programme is on BBC One this morning at nine

o'clock, this week hosted by Nick Robinson.

Sorry, Andrew. What do you have coming up? We will be talking to

residents of Grenfell Tower and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. We do

not see much of him during the general election campaign but we

would like to hear what he is to say about austerity and Brexit talks to

begin next week. We also have the Brexit spokesman for Labour as well

in the studio. You're watching

Breakfast from BBC News. The Travel Show visits Bermuda

as its turquoise waters play host to the competition described

as the Formula 1 of sailing - with Roger Johnson

and Naga Munchetty. Coming up before 8am,

Helen will have the weather. But a summary of this

morning's main news. Church services will be held today

to remember the victims of the Grenfell Tower

fire in West London. Police have revealed that 58 people

are missing and are believed to have died but that figure

could still rise. Yesterday, Theresa May

met with volunteers The Prime Minister admitted

the government's response, in the hours following the disaster,

had not been good enough. A report by the think tank

the Resolution Foundation claims British wealth

inequality is growing. They suggest the fall

in the number of people that own their own home has

resulted in a widening gap The government says income

inequality is at its lowest level

since the mid-1980s. The government says it intends

to double the length of the new Parliamentary session

to two years to give MPs the maximum possible time to scrutinise

Brexit legislation. The unusual move will mean next

year's Queen's Speech The government says the decision

was part of measures to build the broadest possible

consensus for Brexit. At least 24 people have died so far

and more than 20 others have been injured in a forest fire

in central Portugal. 16 of the victims died

in their vehicles as they try to escape but became

trapped by flames. Portugal's been experiencing

a heatwave with temperatures exceeding 40 Celsius

in several regions. Seven sailors missing after a US

warship collided with a container ship off the coast of Japan

have been found dead. Their bodies were discovered

by divers in flooded cabins. The ship's commander and another

sailor have been airlifted French voters go to the polls

today for the second round of the country's

parliamentary elections. President Macron's En Marche!

party, which was formed just over a year ago,

is predicted to win up It is currently ahead in 400 out

of 577 constituencies. For opposition teams,

the sight of 15 New Zealand rugby players doing the traditional Maori

haka is intimidating enough. So imagine seeing more than 7,000

people take up the challenge. This is the world record attempt

undertaken before the British and Irish Lions took

on the All Blacks yesterday They had to perform for five minutes

to officially break the record It wasn't just locals

taking part, though, a number of Lions'

supporters also joined in. You told us this, Kat, they were

doing this outside the hotel where the British lions were staying? Look

at this fellow, he could be an all Black in the future, couldn't he?

The likelihood is there will be some in the crowd, rugby players and

fans, 7000 turning up to watch the Maori All Blacks and New Zealand,

such a passionate rugby nation, probably a few All Blacks in there.

The first test next weekend? Yes, a week yesterday, this time next week

we will know how we are shaping up against them.

Tomorrow morning we will have a new major winner, of all 16 players at

the top of the US Open none have won a major and you would think one of

them would hold on. After day three at golf's US Open,

England's Tommy Fleetwood remains firmly in contention

at the top of the leaderboard. He sits just one shot behind

the overall leader Brian Harman going into the final

round in Wisconsin. For Tommy Fleetwood,

there is plenty to smile about. For getting amongst the leaders

in Wisconsin is one thing, Still he was making his presence

felt, progressing steadily For others that didn't appear to be

the case but here for Justin Thomas even going in the wrong direction

can work out perfectly in the end. His round of 9-under par

is a tournament record and was enough to put him

for the moment ahead of the rest. While he flourished,

others floundered. England's Paul Casey's hopes

of staying in contention lost They call day three moving day,

there was now plenty of that on the leaderboard and with shots

like this the American Brian Harman Fleetwood remains in the crowd

just one stroke behind, plenty still to smile

about but the US Open has rarely This is my first time in contention

in a major so whatever happens I'll be doing my best and seeing how well

I can finish and that's that really. But it will be a pleasure to go out

on a Sunday trying to win a major. Warran Gatland has named his side

to face the Chiefs on Tuesday and has included all six

controversial call-ups he made Ireland hooker Rory Best captains

the side, with the bulk of the squad that beat the Maori All Blacks

yesterday aren't playing so they can prepare for the first

Test against the All Blacks next

Saturday. Gatland says those involved

on Tuesday will be playing for themselves and

for the whole squad. We brought you Scotland's historic

win over Australia here on Breakfast yesterday morning, and that was just

the start of it as England completed a 2-0 series victory over Argentina

after winning the second test Full-back Mike Brown broke clear

before producing a brilliant off load to send Piers Francis over

for a great try before half time. England went on to win 35-25

but Eddie Jones's squad was missing 30 of their best players,

largely due to the Lions tour. Today we found a way to win,

we were outgunned in the first half, second half we came back

in the forwards particularly and scrums and our maul defence

improved and that got us back in the game and then our ability

to score off their mistakes England batsman Jason Roy made

a welcome return to form as Surrey reached their third

straight One Day Cup final. Roy, dropped by England in midweek,

smashed 92 as Surrey beat Worcestershire Rapids

by 153 runs at New Road. They'll play Nottinghamshire

in the final on the first of July. India take on arch-rivals Pakistan

in the Champions Trophy Final this afternoon,

India easy winners when the two But with tickets at a premium

for the match and talk of over half a billion people watching the game

on TV, everyone's hoping I don't see any relevance

of the first game here because you can never tell

how the particular team Some teams start very

confidently and they fade off, some teams may not have the best

starts and they come back amazingly, Everyone is aware of the kind

of talent they have in their team. I said before the Edgbaston game

I thought they were very calm, but they're very

excited right now and there's a hell of a good vibe

in that dressing room. So let's hope we can

to our A game on tomorrow cause if we can, I said it

before the England game, if we put our A game together

and we do the basics well Johanna Konta could become the first

British woman since Virginia Wade 40 years ago at Wimbledon to win

a tour event on home soil. She's reached the final

of the Nottingham Open. After coming through in straight

sets against Magdalena Rybarikova of It's the first time the British

number one has reached She'll face Croatia's Donna Vekic,

ranked 70th in the world. Andy Murray will play Bedene at the

Queens first round next week, he beat him in the first round last

year. Wigan Warriors are into the

semi-finals of the Challenge Cup, surviving a late Warrington

fightback yesterday to win 27-26. Four converted tries,

including this from John Bateman, and a drop goal had put Wigan clear

going into the final stages. But Warrington could have forced

extra time with the last kick of the game only

for it to drift wide. Castleford play Hull FC this

afternoon in the final quarterfinal. England strengthened their position

at the top of their pool in the Hockey World League

semi-finals with a 7-3 scored twice, as did captain Barry

Middleton. As well as reaching

the World League Finals later in the year, the top five teams

qualify for the World Cup in India Scotland's men are

in the other pool. A 3-0 defeat to the Netherlands

means they've lost both Lots of hockey news on the website

as well. The plan today is go home, have a snooze, it will be a

late-night tonight seeing if Tommy Fleetwood can bring the US Open

title home. Fingers crossed. He looks like quite a character. Naga

knows him from playing with him at Wentworth. I don't know him but I

had the honour of playing with him at Wentworth, very relaxed and he

meditates as well. That's what it takes in golf, you have to be

relaxed, all in the head. Not just a physical game, a mental game in all

senses! Thanks very much, Kat! Helen will bring us the weather a little

later. A little over two weeks ago,

the world watched in horror as another terror attack unfolded

on the streets of Britain. Eight people were killed

when terrorists drove a van into pedestrians on London Bridge

before launching a knife attack The journalist and martial arts

expert Geoff Ho was stabbed in the neck when he confronted two

of the attackers to He's still receiving

treatment for his injuries but was able to return

to Borough Market on Thursday Thank you so much, Geoff, for

talking to us this morning. Firstly, how are you? Good morning, doing

really well. Great. Tell us what happened if you wouldn't mind on

that evening. Absolutely. I just finished watching the Champions

League final with my friends in one of the local pubs, the Wheatsheaf,

was minding my own business, I walked a few yards up the road and I

saw two people attacking one of the bouncers. This was actually a

separate incident. These two people attacked the bouncer so I jumped in

to defend him, managed to hold them off for a few minutes and then the

police rolled up, took these two people away. Instead of going onto

the tube and taking my train home I decided to go to the restaurant

Black and Blue to meet up with some friends to get some food and another

drink. That was the fateful decision and within literally the space of

four minutes the terrorists arrived and tried to kick in the door and

that's when I had to intervene. Veainu they arrived, they got to the

restaurant and tried to get into the restaurant -- so they arrived. Yes,

they kicked in the glass door. I saw one of my friends and others

scrambling for the back, some hid under tables, some went into the

booths, some went to the back of the restaurant. One of my friends was

behind me and I knew right there and then that unless I delayed them they

would be... The worst could possibly happen. I knew I had to delay them

because the police were in the area, I just needed to buy them time.

Unfortunately I saw what looked like suicide vest is on them so I knew I

couldn't head straight at them and attack them because they could have

detonated the vests and that would have been the worst possible outcome

so I had to somehow keep them at bay. They started yelling everyone

get on the floor, I knew if anyone had done that that would be game

over instantly, they would have killed them there and then. The

attackers came at me, they started barking at everyone to get on the

floor, I told them no. I kept telling them know and then they

snapped and they started to charge at me with knives. They attempted to

stab me in the throat, unfortunately they succeeded on that front, they

attempted to stab me in the stomach, they didn't in that instance, I

managed to jump out of the way and avoid that blade and all I got was a

couple of scratches on my stomach. Then unfortunately they got me on

the side of the face. They are attacked my friend, he suffered

superficial injuries and they ran off and within a minute the police

arrived. Geoff, you have been described as a hero, you have

described to us what happened to you, having read what did happen as

well, I wonder if you can tell us a bit more about the bit where you

defended other people from these attackers selflessly. What happened

was they came into the restaurant, I knew instantly because everyone was

scrambling that I had to buy them time so I engaged with them, I

engaged with the attackers. They came at week with knives, I tried to

block the first one, unfortunately the first right to the throat wasn't

that successful, I got injured, got out of the way of the second blade

at the same time as I was trying to dodge the attack to the stomach, I

tried throwing a couple of punches, I think I landed at least one. I

tried to put myself in the way to make sure they couldn't get to my

friend behind me. These attackers were obviously very determined,

could you see the intent they had? They had no respect... There was no

respect for human life. You could see in their eyes, they were full of

rage, they just wanted to hurt as many people as possible and they

didn't care who they attacked. You have been receiving treatment for

your injuries, how is that progressing? Are you recovering

well? I'm recovering well. The paramedics that treated me on the

day before I got to hospital, the staff at the Royal London hospital,

the surgeons, the other doctors and nurses were all wonderful. I'm being

looked after at the moment by my local GP and the nurses there. I'm

going really well, the recovery is really going well. Good to hear.

Would you have done anything differently would you think? I try

not to think about it to be perfectly honest, I would have done

exactly the same thing... Hopefully I will never have to put myself in

that situation again. To be honest or I needed to do was to buy people

time to get away. I get it, that was my job, I'm happy with that -- all I

needed. Your friends and the people in that restaurant will be very

grateful I'm sure and I'm pleased you are recovering well, thank you

for talking to us this morning. Thank you for your time, appreciate

it. Somebody who does something so brave
