The buildings are clad in similar material to Grenfell Tower, | :00:00. | :02:26. | |
where at least 79 people died in a fire last week. | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
We cannot guarantee your safety. The with the details. | :02:30. | :02:41. | |
We cannot guarantee your safety. The message from Camden Council as 4000 | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
residents were told to leave their homes late on Friday night. | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
Individuals are not being forced to leave, they are being told to leave | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
their own safety and it's up to them to decide. I intend to stay put and | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
go back in their tonight. I think it is a knee-jerk reaction from the | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
council. In the aftermath of debt and Phillip Tower, cladding he had | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
been ruled unsafe. Concerns have also been raised about fire doors | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
and gas pipes. In the area which was not completely to the best standards | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
was a deep concern given the combination and that was the message | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
from the fire services today. The issue is a combination of the two | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
factors that is why we have taken the action we have taken tonight. At | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
the leisure centre, air beds was assembled to cater to what 100 | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
arrested in finesse. It will take up to four weeks to remove the external | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
cladding and during that time, people are being urged to stay with | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
family and friends or in hotels. Camden Council has already secured | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
270 rooms in London and has spent the night transporting people. Some | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
residents of the first they knew was on the news. Children, families, | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
babies, they have nowhere to go. And I just think they left everything to | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
late and dealing with it. This time a night, it is half past one now, it | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
is ridiculous. Grenfell Tower was destroyed from the bottom to the | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
top. We now know the fire started in a kitchen in a lower floor. Police | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
have also confirmed what eyewitnesses said - the origin of | :04:17. | :04:24. | |
the inferno was a Hotpoint fridge. Many buildings in England are now | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
known to have cladding which Proms concerns. Ten days on from the worst | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
fires since World War Two, the shadow looms large over social | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
housing. We can speak now to Catriona Renton | :04:35. | :04:35. | |
who is outside the Swiss Cottage Leisure Centre in Camden where some | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
residents spent the night. You have been there through the | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
have people been given? You have been there through the | :04:42. | :04:51. | |
night talking to people and gauging their reaction to this. What have | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
they been telling you? Good morning. There is so many people coming | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
through here through the night and we have been here all night. We saw | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
people still arriving here at around half past four in the morning. As | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
you heard, some people were saying they heard what was happening from | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
the news and others say they had a knock on the door from council | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
officials or the fire service. Certainly some confusion here. I | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
spoke to one man at three o'clock this morning who was turning up at | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
the rest centre here, not knowing where to go or what to do. He said | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
that he had a knock on the door from the fire service at about two in the | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
morning advising him to leave. He had been getting ready to go to bed | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
so he was shocked. Another family with a five-month-old baby. The | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
father said they believed they were safe in the property but then they | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
got a knock on the door and help us to the morning and he and his family | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
came here trying to find shelter, not really knowing what to do. He | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
said one of his children has eczema and he was worried because the child | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
was itchy and needed some care. Other people have been frustrated. | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
Some have been here all night. We heard the amount of frustration, | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
looking for someone to go and stay. People are being sent to hotels. | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
They had secured around 270 rooms so we saw people making their way | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
there. Again, what next was to mark they do not know what the long-term | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
is. This could be lasting for a round four, five weeks. The councils | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
that they have to do this, they had to act on fire safety adviser but | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
they also understand that the stress people are going through and they | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
say thank you for being with them at this difficult time. Thank you very | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
much. We will talk to you all morning and various other people as | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
well. We will also speak to Georgia Gould, the leader of Camden Council | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
and in the next hour we will speak to the community Secretary to get a | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
bigger picture as to what the Housing Department plans to do about | :07:00. | :07:00. | |
this move. helpful if broadcasters | :07:01. | :07:01. | |
"were willing to be a bit patriotic" The Leader of the House of Commons, | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
Andrea Leadsom has said it would be helpful if broadcasters | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
"were willing to be a bit patriotic" She made the comment | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
while being questioned by Newsnight's Emily Maitliss | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
about the UK's position in talks We had various different EU | :07:14. | :07:22. | |
politicians, the elected boss of sessions saying it was a good start. | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
Of course it is very early days. It has been a year... It would be | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
helpful... It would be helpful if broadcasters would be patriotic. The | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
country made a decision... Are you accusing me of being unpatriotic | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
third and questioning how negotiations are going? We all need | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
to pull together as a country. We made a decision one year ago today | :07:49. | :07:57. | |
the European Union. The remarks have been described as a sinister threat | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
to free media and said she should apologise. | :08:02. | :08:01. | |
More than 100 people are missing after a landslide in south-western | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
About 40 homes were destroyed when the side of a mountain | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
A rescue operation is now taking place to try to locate the missing. | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
Radiohead topped the bill on the opening night of Glastonbury, | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
20 years after one of their most famous performances at the festival. | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
Today will see Katy Perry and the Foo Fighters take | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
to the pyramid stage, as our Entertainment correspondent | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
# I wish I was special # ... For thousands of fans, Radiohead really | :08:25. | :08:43. | |
are special. Receiving a rupture was reception in front of a packed | :08:44. | :08:51. | |
stage. # I'm a creep, I'm a weird oh. This was the musical climax to a | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
day that featured a few unexpected celebrity appearances. # We attend a | :08:59. | :09:10. | |
young maiden... Earlier, Chris Kristofferson was accompanied on | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
stage by a guitar playing Johnny Depp. Watching them, another | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
Hollywood star, Brad Pitt. And one more famous face admitted that this | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
was set to be his very first Glastonbury. Yeah, 42 years old and | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
it is my first festival full first time here. I am excited. Slightly | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
nervous because I don't know what to expect but, obviously, apart from | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
the great acts on people having fun. I am looking forward to it. Later | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
today, names who will make an appearance on the main stage include | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
Katy Perry, Foo Fighters and Jeremy Corbyn. | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
In just a few hours time, the British and Irish Lions | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
will take to the field in Auckland for the first test | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
The All Blacks haven't lost at Eden Park for 23 years | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
and are seen as the clear favourites. | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
Let's speak now to our sports correspondent Katie Gornall, | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
It is a sense of the task that faces the British and Irish Lions? Well, I | :10:06. | :10:22. | |
think if you had to describe it you would say that this was most | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
difficult test in rugby. The team that have only gotten to know each | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
other in the past few weeks come here to face the world champions on | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
their home turf. When you think about the statistics, they are in | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
favour of New Zealand. You mentioned Eden Park, this fortress where the | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
All Blacks have not lost since 1994. But for some of the players in the | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
British team were even born. And many think about the fact that Lions | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
have not won a series in New Zealand since 1971. It is a challenge ahead | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
we have seen tens of thousands of fans arrive here in Auckland, some | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
arriving on buses now ahead of the game. I think there is a genuine | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
sense of hope among those fans because of recent results on this | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
tour that they can do something special here. They can achieve | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
history here tonight. I think it is mixed with a dose of realism | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
because, as I say, the incredible record of the All Blacks... Yes, it | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
is great should sport whenever the All Blacks play. Especially with | :11:26. | :11:33. | |
their haka before the game begins, that always set things up in an | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
extraordinary way. It is incredible. And nothing about the haka, a Maori | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
War dance, anyone who performs it is not just representing their country | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
here tonight, their family, it is the heritage and you have to give | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
100% otherwise you are not doing yourself justice. It really does | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Goodness knows what | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
it will be like for the Lions facing it. It will be a special occasion as | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
well for the captain of the Lions, a player who many people did not | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
expect to see on this tour. It three months ago he was not even a regular | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
starter for Ireland. But now a great run of form since then, a great run | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
of form on this tour as well means he is keeping tour captain out of | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
the side and he will lead the Lions out here today in just a few our's | :12:22. | :12:31. | |
time. Very much. Live from Eden Park in New Zealand. Kick-off at 830 this | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
morning. We will keep you updated as things progress. I think I have | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
underestimated just how popular this game is. Many people have been | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
getting in touch on social media saying they will not watch us this | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
morning. They will be watching the game. And many people making | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
different plans. Rearranging their day. So that they can watch this. It | :12:48. | :12:54. | |
is partly or because a tour for the Lions happens so rarely. But a quick | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
look now through the papers. The front page of the Daily Telegraph | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
the main story there and you will are before about what other | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
buildings may be affected by the cladding issues. Questions are being | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
asked this morning in the Telegraph linked to hospital buildings. | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
Officially they have been asked to check the construction of the | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
high-rise hospital buildings and F across the UK. We will have more on | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
throughout the morning. Many papers taking a look at the grand cell | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
tower and the issues surrounding that. The evacuation of people in | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
other buildings. -- Grenfell Tao. The Times is looking at the | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
Manchester suicide bomber and how he came about planning the atrocity | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
that he committed. It says he used videos from YouTube and other | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
websites to help build the device that killed 22 people in Manchester. | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
On the front page of the Daily Mirror they are doing some work in | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
connection with what is known to be the cause, the original cause of the | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
blaze in Grenfell Tower. That is the fridge freezer. Many question marks, | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
the five chief quoted in the paper as saying it was 90 seconds before | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
the kitchen would have been engulfed in those circumstances. You can see | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
some of the test they have done an fridge freezers themselves. It is | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
quite sobering to look at these images and it is a clear area of | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
concern as they continue the investigations. The sun is looking | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
at Eastenders saying that the soap opera, the series is in crisis after | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
its production had left amid claims of bullying and falling ratings. The | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
executive producer Sean O'Connor saying he had left after a meeting | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
of BBC headquarters. One other story on the Daily Mail. Taking their own | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
league this morning. This is using quotes from a book written by Penny | :14:50. | :14:58. | |
Junor, which presents Camilla 's side of the story. A new biography | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
detailing her life and, of course, you can see a lot fascination in | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
that story. A dog? A picture of a dog? Look at his year. You have the | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
dog and then another dog on his ear. I see. The nose and the eyes... I | :15:19. | :15:27. | |
said it is actually a female dog. She was born with those markings, | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
obviously, but that is what I wanted to show you. | :15:32. | :15:33. | |
You're watching Breakfast from BBC News. | :15:34. | :15:35. | |
The main stories this morning: Hundreds of flats have been | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
evacuated in North London tower blocks because of fire safety | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
concerns following the Grenfell Tower tragedy. | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
And Radiohead have headlined the opening night of the Glastonbury | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
Festival, 20 years after they first topped | :15:52. | :15:53. | |
Good morning! I have put a fairly at this morning's weather. | :15:54. | :16:06. | |
Good morning! I have put a fairly nice picture of behind me because I | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
think things will improve after this cloudy start. What a difference this | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
weekend, compared to last weekend when we have the high temperatures | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
and high humidity. Cooler this weekend, especially in the north, | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
and very windy in the far north of Scotland. Showers in the forecast | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
and sunshine as well. This is the culprit bringing strong winds. Very | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
tightly packed isobars for this time of year. Windy start, a of cloud in | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
Northern Ireland and towards Scotland. Bit of brightness may be | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
in east, but generally cloudy and the wind will pick up through the | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
day, a bubbly peaking in the afternoon. Further south in England | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
and Wales we have a damp feel to things. Certainly across southern | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
counties towards the south-west as well. Although it is fairly mild, a | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
rather damp start for the Glastonbury Festival. It should | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
improve through the day and we should get sunshine developing in | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
the afternoon. Still fairly warm and muggy. But today a fairly breezy | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
day. The wind is really picking up on the northern half of Scotland. | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
Gales, gusts of up to 50 mph. There could be some disruption to the | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
ferries. Quite a mild day. 20 Celsius for many and we could have | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
the mid- 20s in the south-east of England and east Anglia. Showers | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
continue to come and go, especially in western areas, and overnight. | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
Longer spells in the northern half of Scotland. Further strong winds | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
here. A mild night for most. Cloud blanketing the warmth. The midteens. | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
The low pressure still with us in the north into Sunday, but it will | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
be moving away, winds gradually easing down. More of a west, | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
north-westerly wind. Temperatures will be cooler across-the-board. A | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
similar picture, a lot of cloud around and a few showers in northern | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
and western areas. The best of any sunshine developing in the northern | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
half. The temperatures are mid to upper teens. We could see up to 22 | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
in the south-east. A much cooler and fresh weekend than last weekend. | :18:15. | :18:15. | |
But now, Mark Kermode joins Ben Brown for this week's Film | :18:16. | :18:43. | |
Hello and welcome to The Film Review on BBC News. | :18:44. | :18:58. | |
To take us through this week's cinema releases is Mark Kermode. | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
We have In This Corner Of The World, a very impressive Japanese anime. | :19:02. | :19:12. | |
Transformers: The Last Knight, the saga rumbles on. | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
And Hampstead, a film which does exactly what it says on the tin. | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
So, In This Corner Of The World, a war movie with a difference? | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
It is an anime based on a manga of the same name. | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
It goes from the '30s to the mid-40s. | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
A young girl, when she gets to the age of 18, marries someone | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
She goes to live in a different home and start a new life | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
of which she makes the most, but meanwhile the spectre of war | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
What is impressive about this is that, like a film | :19:50. | :20:50. | |
like Grave Of The Fireflies, it talks about a very dark subject | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
matter, in a way that has an innocence and universality | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
that a live-action movie couldn't do. | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
We saw from that clip the cloud that we know | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
And our heroine is an artist, and at certain moments in the movie | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
she looks up and sees explosions in the sky as explosions of paint. | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
There are moments when the narrative deals with very dark stuff | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
that you would get in a war movie, but it does so by the animation | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
unravelling and becoming drawings and becoming fragments of animation, | :21:23. | :21:24. | |
and, by looking at global events and tragedies through the eyes | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
of a particular character, it manages to watch | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
as if from a distance or slightly sculptured, | :21:31. | :21:32. | |
without ever looking away from harsh realities. | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
This opens on Wednesday, and if you like a film | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
like Your Name, which was a big hit, and is returning to cinemas soon, | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
I think this is well worth checking out. | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
It has won numerous awards and it's easy to see why. | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
The triumph is it approaches a difficult subject matter in a way | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
And it does that thing that animation can do that a live-action | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
film can't do, to look at the world in a different way, | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
to make us see these events in a different and personal way. | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
I liked it very much and I think you will too. | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
And Transformers: The Last Knight - I suspect you don't like it as much | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
It's one of the least offensive of the Transformers movies. | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
It looks back to the past to Arthurian legend and wibbles | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
around in Stonehenge and looks for mysticism and out to outer space | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
It's basically Transformers meets Monty Python and Spinal Tap, | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
Anthony Hopkins is in it and he's laughing all the way to the bank, | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
as this kind of eccentric aristocrat who has a butler who is like C3PO | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
He believes the only way to save the planet is to bring | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
together an historian and Mark Wahlberg's junkyard king | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
to save the world, which, frankly, on the evidence of the film, | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
On the plus side, there are less leering shots with the camera | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
looking up the skirts of its performers than we have had | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
His pornographic sensibility is toned down slightly. | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
The plot makes no sense whatsoever, despite the endless scenes of people | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
explaining the plot to each other, and indeed pointing at things | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
that are happening on screen and telling us what we are looking at. | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
It is massively incoherent, staggeringly dull | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
and whoppingly overlong, although in terms of the rest | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
of the Transformers movies it is less offensive. | :23:35. | :23:36. | |
I was not offended, I was just bored. | :23:37. | :23:38. | |
No, I have to say, my job is to stay awake. | :23:39. | :23:46. | |
Believe me, there were many moments in which I was going, | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
you have to stay awake, something interesting might happen. | :23:50. | :23:51. | |
Now, Hampstead, a romcom for the older audience? | :23:52. | :24:00. | |
That tells you everything you need to know, as does the title. | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
Thinking about Hampstead, the Heath, expensive properties | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
Over there is Highgate Cemetery and a pond... | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
At the centre of it, Brendan Gleeson is a beardy wild man | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
living in a shack he's built on the heath under the radar. | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
He is under threat of eviction from property developers, | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
and along comes Diane Keaton, the recently widowed Hampstead | :24:26. | :24:27. | |
resident, who tries to help him save his shack and gets | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
Yeah, it's about what happened the other day, and those people - | :24:31. | :24:40. | |
they really wanted to help you and I do too. | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
I'm a man who lives as he chooses to, and I'm not going to any court | :24:44. | :24:57. | |
OK, listen, there's no reason to wake the dead | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
How can you expect anyone to put up with all this nonsense? | :25:05. | :25:13. | |
Here is the thing with this film, I like both of those performers | :25:14. | :25:29. | |
and you would have to be pretty hard-hearted to get annoyed | :25:30. | :25:39. | |
with the movie, although I have read that some reviews have taken | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
In the back of it there is a true story, isn't there? | :25:43. | :25:50. | |
There really was a guy who had a shack and he had to fight a legal | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
battle, although I have to say this film's relationship with reality | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
is inspired by that true story, but it's passing at very best. | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
Compared to this, Notting Hill, the Richard Curtis movie, | :26:02. | :26:03. | |
looks like a really hard-hitting, tough and gritty film | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
Or something like Truly Madly Deeply suddenly looks like a scary Gothic | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
It is about as twee as it's possible for a movie to be. | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
And it just does all the things you expect this kind of movie to do. | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
But I didn't dislike it, because I like those two performers. | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
Despite the fact I don't believe in any of it at all, | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
it is a film which is best summed up as perfect Wednesday afternoon | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
viewing, which will go down well with a cup of tea and a biscuit, | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
And it is supposed to be a romcom - is it romantic and funny? | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
It is romantic and I laughed a couple of times. | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
A lot of the scenes in Hampstead, you watch, thinking, | :26:52. | :26:53. | |
no, you could not afford to get a cup of tea there, | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
you couldn't get a parking space there. | :26:58. | :26:59. | |
By The Time It Gets Dark, you will have to search this movie | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
out because it is a limited release and an extraordinary Thai movie | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
It starts off as a film about an atrocity that happened | :27:10. | :27:17. | |
in the mid-1970s and somebody trying | :27:18. | :27:18. | |
And then what happens is it becomes a much more amorphous study | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
of the relationship between memory and history, and the inability | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
of cinema to capture history perfectly. | :27:27. | :27:28. | |
It's a film which takes in the whole history of cinema right | :27:29. | :27:31. | |
back to Melies and forward to digital technology. | :27:32. | :27:34. | |
It's witty and moving and it's strange. | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
It keeps looping back on itself and is clearly a film which cannot | :27:40. | :27:44. | |
be described in terms of plot, but if you like the films of, | :27:45. | :27:48. | |
say, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, which I know you do, | :27:49. | :27:52. | |
then it's really well worth seeking out. | :27:53. | :27:56. | |
But it's a very small release and you will need to seek it out, | :27:57. | :28:00. | |
I went in with no knowledge of it at all and, although I did not | :28:01. | :28:06. | |
understand a lot of it, it was really fascinating. | :28:07. | :28:08. | |
It's called By The Time It Gets Dark. | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
OK, and best DVD is a movie you have talked a lot about. | :28:13. | :28:18. | |
Here's the thing with Moonlight, you cannot say too many times how | :28:19. | :28:21. | |
When first seen, it was considered to be a little independent arthouse | :28:22. | :28:33. | |
movie with limited appeal, but I think | :28:34. | :28:35. | |
it is beautifully directed and fantastically played, | :28:36. | :28:37. | |
story of a life in three separate chapters, and it does everything | :28:38. | :28:40. | |
It tells a story that makes you feel involved in the characters, | :28:41. | :28:45. | |
even if your life is nothing like theirs at all. | :28:46. | :28:48. | |
It's compassionate and humane and thrilling in terms | :28:49. | :28:50. | |
And I confess I have seen it four times now, | :28:51. | :28:54. | |
and I will probably go back and watch it again. | :28:55. | :28:57. | |
See it again, you will love it even more. | :28:58. | :29:03. | |

Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga | :29:15. | :30:07. | |
Coming up before seven, Holly will be here with the sport | :30:08. | :30:10. | |
and Stav will have this weekend's weather. | :30:11. | :30:12. | |
But first, a summary of this morning's main news. | :30:13. | :30:17. | |
Around 4,000 people were told to evacuate their homes in Camden, | :30:18. | :30:20. | |
North London last night due to concerns about fire safety. | :30:21. | :30:24. | |
Camden Council told people in five towers on the Chalcots estate | :30:25. | :30:27. | |
to move after the fire service said their safety | :30:28. | :30:29. | |
The buildings are clad in similar material to Grenfell Tower, | :30:30. | :30:33. | |
where at least 79 people died in a fire last week. | :30:34. | :30:41. | |
We can speak now to Catriona Renton who is outside the Swiss Cottage | :30:42. | :30:44. | |
Leisure Centre in Camden where some residents spent the night. | :30:45. | :30:47. | |
Many must be confused about what the have people been given? | :30:48. | :30:55. | |
Many must be confused about what the next few weeks may have in store for | :30:56. | :31:01. | |
them. That is correct. We have been here all night and seen a steady | :31:02. | :31:06. | |
stream of people coming here, some quite confused about the situation, | :31:07. | :31:09. | |
being evacuated from their homes so quickly. One of the people who was | :31:10. | :31:13. | |
told to leave their home is surely he joins me now. Surely it is the | :31:14. | :31:19. | |
president of the Taplow tower, one of the first to be evacuated. What | :31:20. | :31:23. | |
happened. What happened to you last night? I saw something on Sky News | :31:24. | :31:29. | |
saying they were evacuating my flats. I went downstairs to speak to | :31:30. | :31:35. | |
someone who told me we all had to get out of our block and come over | :31:36. | :31:40. | |
here. Of which we done and we have been here all night. And you have | :31:41. | :31:45. | |
been here since half past eight last night. Have you been getting | :31:46. | :31:48. | |
information that you need? No, I haven't. They called me over, | :31:49. | :31:53. | |
someone shouted my name out and I went over to be told that a hotel | :31:54. | :32:00. | |
room for me, the holiday in when I got there they said someone else had | :32:01. | :32:05. | |
taken it. And, of course, you have your dog with you. That held you | :32:06. | :32:10. | |
back? It has to a certain extent because they are trying to say that | :32:11. | :32:15. | |
a lot of hotels won't take dogs. The ones that we rung round said that | :32:16. | :32:19. | |
they will take dogs. Do you feel... Obviously overnight there has been | :32:20. | :32:23. | |
food and water and people to talk to. Etihad support? In the rest | :32:24. | :32:29. | |
centre I've had support but not from the official people who are meant to | :32:30. | :32:33. | |
be helping us. What do you need to here? I went over to ask them a | :32:34. | :32:37. | |
little while ago how much longer before we get put somewhere and they | :32:38. | :32:43. | |
told me no sooner than this evening. I hope that your situation does | :32:44. | :32:49. | |
resolve quickly. We have heard from the council who have said that they | :32:50. | :32:55. | |
had to do this. They had to act on fire service advice and they thank | :32:56. | :33:01. | |
the people of the estate for bearing with them. They say they know this | :33:02. | :33:06. | |
is distressing and there will be issues on such a large-scale | :33:07. | :33:09. | |
operation as this is. They say they are working as hard as they can to | :33:10. | :33:13. | |
resolve the situation for the residents of the State as quickly as | :33:14. | :33:20. | |
possible. Katrina will be speaking to people throughout the morning, | :33:21. | :33:24. | |
residents and people from the residents Association as well. We | :33:25. | :33:29. | |
will speak to the communities secretary later in the programme and | :33:30. | :33:32. | |
the leader of Camden Council will be joining us from Camden a little | :33:33. | :33:34. | |
later. The Leader of the House of Commons, | :33:35. | :33:40. | |
Andrea Leadsom has said it would be helpful if broadcasters | :33:41. | :33:43. | |
"were willing to be a bit patriotic" She made the comment | :33:44. | :33:46. | |
while being questioned by Newsnight's Emily Maitliss | :33:47. | :33:49. | |
about the UK's position in talks We had various different EU | :33:50. | :33:52. | |
politicians, the elected boss -- politicians saying | :33:53. | :34:04. | |
it was a good start. It would be helpful if broadcasters | :34:05. | :34:07. | |
would be patriotic. Are you accusing me | :34:08. | :34:13. | |
of being unpatriotic for questioning how | :34:14. | :34:18. | |
negotiations are going? We all need to pull | :34:19. | :34:20. | |
together as a country. We made a decision | :34:21. | :34:22. | |
one year ago today The outgoing leader | :34:23. | :34:24. | |
of the Liberal Democrats, Tim Farron, has described | :34:25. | :34:30. | |
Andrea Leadsom's remarks as "a sinister threat | :34:31. | :34:32. | |
to the free media" - More than 100 people are missing | :34:33. | :34:34. | |
after a landslide in south-western About 40 homes were destroyed | :34:35. | :34:38. | |
when the side of a mountain A rescue operation is now taking | :34:39. | :34:42. | |
place to try to locate the missing. Katy Perry and the Foo Fighters will | :34:43. | :34:49. | |
top the bill at Glastonbury today. Last night, Radiohead took | :34:50. | :34:53. | |
to the pyramid stage, twenty years since their first | :34:54. | :34:55. | |
headline appearance at the festival. It's expected around 135,000 people | :34:56. | :34:59. | |
will be in attendance Now it is time for sport. Yes, | :35:00. | :35:03. | |
stories this morning. Now it is time for sport. Yes, | :35:04. | :35:17. | |
talking about a muddy field at Glastonbury, I think it will be | :35:18. | :35:22. | |
muddy in Auckland as well as it gets under way. We have been waiting for | :35:23. | :35:26. | |
this for quite sometime and it has been getting exciting. It feels that | :35:27. | :35:30. | |
there has been more media coverage than there has been previously. This | :35:31. | :35:34. | |
kicked off on June three. They have had ten gruelling matches with just | :35:35. | :35:39. | |
two victories so it could be a big match. Many people watching. Many | :35:40. | :35:44. | |
people up early on Twitter already there is a lot of excitement | :35:45. | :35:45. | |
building but it will not be easy. We're less than two hours | :35:46. | :35:47. | |
away from the first test between the British and Irish Lions | :35:48. | :35:50. | |
and New Zealand in Auckland. The All Blacks haven't lost in 23 | :35:51. | :35:53. | |
years at Eden Park - the last side to beat them | :35:54. | :35:56. | |
anywhere was Ireland, Really, really optimistic that they | :35:57. | :36:13. | |
can cause a huge upset. Anyhow they are probably one of the greatest | :36:14. | :36:17. | |
rugby victories ever. It is that difficult a task that they have. | :36:18. | :36:21. | |
They do seem confident with the quality they have, I don't see any | :36:22. | :36:23. | |
I do know what is coming. It is hard reason why not. | :36:24. | :36:26. | |
I do know what is coming. It is hard to prepare yourself exactly for what | :36:27. | :36:30. | |
it will be like. A different beast to different games I have played so | :36:31. | :36:35. | |
you need to adapt quickly. We have learnt over the last few years as a | :36:36. | :36:40. | |
team to adapt and adjust and whatever gets thrown away we will | :36:41. | :36:42. | |
try to overcome it. Scotland have just lost | :36:43. | :36:43. | |
their final tour match - Meanwhile Ireland have kicked off | :36:44. | :36:47. | |
against Japan in Tokyo. Jason Roy became the first player | :36:48. | :36:51. | |
in international T20 cricket history to be given out for obstructing | :36:52. | :36:54. | |
the field, as England lost to South Africa by just | :36:55. | :36:57. | |
three runs at Taunton. England were cruising | :36:58. | :37:00. | |
towards their target of 175 when South Africa claimed Roy had | :37:01. | :37:03. | |
deliberately got in the way England needed a four | :37:04. | :37:09. | |
from the last ball - The series decider is | :37:10. | :37:15. | |
at Cardiff tomorrow. The women's Cricket World Cup starts | :37:16. | :37:21. | |
today, with the ICC hoping it'll be a turning point | :37:22. | :37:24. | |
for the women's game. England go into the tournament | :37:25. | :37:26. | |
on the back of some strong warm-up performances - they take on India | :37:27. | :37:29. | |
in the opening match in Derby, where a sell-out crowd | :37:30. | :37:33. | |
of three-thousand is expected. In derby, a group of professional | :37:34. | :37:35. | |
correspondent Joe Wilson. In derby, a group of professional | :37:36. | :37:46. | |
sportswomen prepare for a competition which aims to be noticed | :37:47. | :37:51. | |
around the world. They are England and England as work began. In 1973, | :37:52. | :37:55. | |
Birmingham hosted the final of the first-ever women's World Cup, and | :37:56. | :37:59. | |
hung by England and this play is basically had to pay to play. He | :38:00. | :38:04. | |
denied his one-year intellect captaincy of the current England | :38:05. | :38:08. | |
team. First game against India, the winning nation this year, gets 666 | :38:09. | :38:14. | |
thousand dollars. Money has come a long way. It is the incentive? | :38:15. | :38:17. | |
Something the players will think about to go into the I don't think | :38:18. | :38:23. | |
so. It is a nice touch by the ICC to show whether women's game is at the | :38:24. | :38:27. | |
moment. I think it is a good statement by them in terms of | :38:28. | :38:32. | |
practicalities of fries it doesn't change it. Globally, the key is to | :38:33. | :38:36. | |
unlock the potential of India. That is the market for cricket. Signs of | :38:37. | :38:42. | |
progress, well, there was eight kit launch featuring women's players | :38:43. | :38:46. | |
alongside the men. India's women have never won the World Cup and are | :38:47. | :38:50. | |
outsiders again this year. But victory would speed up the quality. | :38:51. | :38:54. | |
This is a stage where most of the matches are televised and broadcast | :38:55. | :38:59. | |
and it increases the viewership and, you know, India is a country where | :39:00. | :39:06. | |
cricket is a religion. Boys in state schools in England and Wales still | :39:07. | :39:09. | |
got more opportunity to play cricket than girls. A new survey has been | :39:10. | :39:13. | |
done. Inspiration often comes from the top. The World Cup, the opening | :39:14. | :39:17. | |
batter will miss this match through injury. The captain is fit, calm and | :39:18. | :39:19. | |
ready. British men's tennis number three | :39:20. | :39:21. | |
Dan Evans has been provisionally suspended after testing | :39:22. | :39:24. | |
positive for cocaine. The test was taken in April | :39:25. | :39:28. | |
but he was only told I was notified a few days ago that I | :39:29. | :39:31. | |
for up to four years. I was notified a few days ago that I | :39:32. | :39:45. | |
failed a drugs test in April where I tested positive to cocaine. This was | :39:46. | :39:49. | |
taken out of competition and the context was completely unrelated to | :39:50. | :39:53. | |
tennis. I made a mistake and I must face up to it. I do not condone for | :39:54. | :39:57. | |
one second that this was acceptable behaviour. I have let people down. | :39:58. | :40:03. | |
My family, my coach, my team, sponsors, British tennis and my | :40:04. | :40:07. | |
fans. I can only deeply apologise from the bottom of my heart. | :40:08. | :40:09. | |
Gilles Muller's impressive run at Queen's continued, | :40:10. | :40:11. | |
when he beat Sam Querrey in straight sets - | :40:12. | :40:13. | |
Muller now faces Marin Cilic in the semi-finals, | :40:14. | :40:15. | |
with Grigor Dimitrov and Feliciano Lopez | :40:16. | :40:17. | |
And Petra Kvitova's comeback is still going well. | :40:18. | :40:22. | |
She's through to the semi-finals of the Aegon Classic | :40:23. | :40:25. | |
in Birmingham after beating Kristina Mladenovic. | :40:26. | :40:27. | |
This was Kvitova's fifth match since returning to the circuit, | :40:28. | :40:29. | |
after she was stabbed in the hand six months ago. | :40:30. | :40:35. | |
Max Verstappen will have his eye on claiming pole position | :40:36. | :40:38. | |
for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix after dominating practice in Baku. | :40:39. | :40:43. | |
With just seconds remaining of the afternoon session | :40:44. | :40:45. | |
he gave his Red Bull mechanics some extra work to do. | :40:46. | :40:49. | |
It was a bad day for Britain's two drivers. | :40:50. | :40:52. | |
Jolyon Palmer's practice ended early and Lewis Hamilton | :40:53. | :40:55. | |
The odds-on favourite Winter won the big race on day four of Royal | :40:56. | :41:07. | |
Winter was the winner as the Fillies took centre stage | :41:08. | :41:10. | |
Victorious in the English and Irish 1000 Guineas, | :41:11. | :41:13. | |
Winter was ridden by jockey Ryan Moore and trained | :41:14. | :41:20. | |
Castleford have extended their lead at the top of the Super league table | :41:21. | :41:25. | |
to seven points with a 23-12 win over Leeds at Headingley. | :41:26. | :41:28. | |
Zak Hardaker scored a superb individual try as Castleford bounced | :41:29. | :41:31. | |
back from their Challenge Cup quarter-final defeat to Hull. | :41:32. | :41:33. | |
It's Castelford's eighth successive Super League victory, | :41:34. | :41:35. | |
It will kick off in just over two beaten Leeds this season. | :41:36. | :41:41. | |
It will kick off in just over two hours time. Six games they have had | :41:42. | :41:49. | |
so far, and only four wins. Two losses and, performance wise, we | :41:50. | :41:53. | |
know that the all blocks... They have a huge record there in | :41:54. | :41:57. | |
Auckland. It will not be easy. 23 years at Eden Park and they have | :41:58. | :42:02. | |
never lost on that ground. That is extraordinary. An extraordinary | :42:03. | :42:05. | |
Reckitt and they have that on the back of their mind today. Thank you, | :42:06. | :42:09. | |
holly and we will see you later full. Stick with the sporting theme. | :42:10. | :42:13. | |
One sport that began in Finland has proven to be successful at getting | :42:14. | :42:20. | |
girls involved in sport. But now hobbyhorse showjumping has arrived | :42:21. | :42:25. | |
Ahead of the national championships controversial, as well. | :42:26. | :42:30. | |
Ahead of the national championships this weekend, we sent Michael Long. | :42:31. | :42:38. | |
It's the stuff of dreams for seven-year-old Olivia. Her | :42:39. | :42:48. | |
imagination running free in a real showjumping ring as she races | :42:49. | :42:51. | |
against the clock are hoping for a clear round ahead of the inaugural | :42:52. | :42:58. | |
National championships. I like jumping because you can go as high | :42:59. | :43:02. | |
as you want and I find that really cool. Here we have Mike rating | :43:03. | :43:11. | |
breakfast Charlie. This horse is a great steed for him. For those of us | :43:12. | :43:19. | |
who cannot afford a horse or have been challenged by lack of writing | :43:20. | :43:24. | |
ability, this is an ideal way of experiencing a showjumping | :43:25. | :43:26. | |
competition. It is my first one ever, and I am being put through my | :43:27. | :43:31. | |
paces. It is all about the angles and getting as tight as you can | :43:32. | :43:34. | |
around the course. The fences may not be huge bite in heat in the | :43:35. | :43:39. | |
summer it is certainly a physical challenge. Exhausting. And try | :43:40. | :43:45. | |
telling 5-year-old Eli that this is somewhat silly. He did not know when | :43:46. | :43:50. | |
he was beaten and had the stamina to keep going. He was glowing with | :43:51. | :43:54. | |
pride when he eventually finished, especially because he had made his | :43:55. | :43:59. | |
own horse. His name is invisible. He looks fantastic. Did you enjoy that? | :44:00. | :44:08. | |
Everybody can get on. Small kids can have a go and also the big kids. | :44:09. | :44:14. | |
And, like so, not everybody has an opportunity to be around the horse | :44:15. | :44:20. | |
but hobbyhorse of vile. They are far less work compared to a real horse | :44:21. | :44:24. | |
as well. And less time involved on the training side, I am sure. It all | :44:25. | :44:30. | |
began in Finland to encourage girls, mainly in the inner city to get more | :44:31. | :44:35. | |
active in equestrian sport. Now tens of thousands turn up for | :44:36. | :44:38. | |
competitions. Their story is told in a new movie, the hobbyhorse | :44:39. | :44:42. | |
revolution, which reflects the height of the fences now and shows | :44:43. | :44:47. | |
how competitive it has become. While for the show in Berks, the first | :44:48. | :44:53. | |
national championship was the answer when they could not show real horse | :44:54. | :45:01. | |
jumping any longer. The Olympics did great work for is and I think | :45:02. | :45:04. | |
everybody is excited about horses. If we can bring more people into the | :45:05. | :45:08. | |
game, that would be really good. You can see what it feels like one of | :45:09. | :45:12. | |
horse jumps so you have that feel, the excitement. It is fun jumping | :45:13. | :45:16. | |
on. Satisfying when you clear the jumps. There is no dressage. Dancing | :45:17. | :45:25. | |
to music with hobbyhorses. -- there is now a dressage section. But it is | :45:26. | :45:29. | |
the jumping that has most newcomers in the saddle. | :45:30. | :45:33. | |
We spoke about that with Mike yesterday. I won't say any more | :45:34. | :45:42. | |
other than somebody just tweeted me asking if it was April Fools' Day. | :45:43. | :45:47. | |
They are having fun! And that's what life is about. Are | :45:48. | :45:52. | |
you going to have fun in the sun today? Let's ask Stav. | :45:53. | :45:53. | |
With hardly any rail alternative, the traffic here drives | :45:54. | :48:54. | |
It's led some of the bigger thinkers to suggest radical alternatives. | :48:55. | :49:02. | |
Electric car and space travel guru Elon Musk has even | :49:03. | :49:05. | |
He envisions an Asimovian network of car and passenger carrying tubes | :49:06. | :49:12. | |
Meanwhile, back in the almost real world of Marina del Rey, | :49:13. | :49:22. | |
Two electric cars that belong to a whole apartment block. | :49:23. | :49:29. | |
Envoy operates a closed car share system. | :49:30. | :49:33. | |
The vehicles can be booked out by residents only and used for up | :49:34. | :49:36. | |
Now this is not a car that you would use to drive to work | :49:37. | :49:44. | |
and back because you'd end up paying for and hogging it | :49:45. | :49:48. | |
This is much more a car that you would use for convenience, | :49:49. | :49:53. | |
popping out for the occasional errand. | :49:54. | :49:55. | |
We believe that if it's a two car household we can | :49:56. | :49:58. | |
Experts say that for every shared car it takes 11 off the road. | :49:59. | :50:06. | |
So we are working with developers on communicating that | :50:07. | :50:08. | |
with policymakers in the city, saying if we include car sharing | :50:09. | :50:11. | |
within communities, we should be able to reduce our parking | :50:12. | :50:14. | |
The abundance of everything here in the US is evident, | :50:15. | :50:22. | |
and it's thanks in no small part to having one of the best | :50:23. | :50:26. | |
educated and most skilled workforces in the world. | :50:27. | :50:28. | |
And it is from right here that the XPRIZE | :50:29. | :50:30. | |
Now this is a competition that encourages entrepreneurs | :50:31. | :50:37. | |
Now the finalists have been announced in London this week | :50:38. | :50:45. | |
and Dan will take a look at some of them in a minute. | :50:46. | :50:51. | |
But first he travels to Tanzania to see what's in store for those | :50:52. | :50:54. | |
hoping to offer something new to the next generation. | :50:55. | :51:06. | |
We are travelling a long way from any town or city to visit some | :51:07. | :51:10. | |
of the 200 children in a village in northern Tanzania. | :51:11. | :51:17. | |
We are booting up a tablet, the first one. | :51:18. | :51:19. | |
The interesting thing here is that most of these children, | :51:20. | :51:23. | |
about all of them, have not seen a tablet before. | :51:24. | :51:26. | |
But not only that, a lot of them wouldn't have gone | :51:27. | :51:29. | |
to school even before, so the learning process | :51:30. | :51:31. | |
The whole programme is in Swahili so the local | :51:32. | :51:37. | |
I think they are going to need more tablets! | :51:38. | :51:45. | |
This is one of about 150 villages in Tanzania chosen as the test-bed | :51:46. | :51:54. | |
Within a few months, 4000 tablets will be given out. | :51:55. | :52:02. | |
The challenge, to teach a 7-11-year-olds to read, | :52:03. | :52:04. | |
write and do maths over the next year. | :52:05. | :52:10. | |
The most effective app will win $10 million. | :52:11. | :52:12. | |
The prize here though will be much more valuable. | :52:13. | :52:18. | |
Older children can walk up to four hours to get to and from school. | :52:19. | :52:22. | |
For younger ones, like seven-year-old Amina, | :52:23. | :52:24. | |
She's been lucky, she is one of those that's been chosen to take | :52:25. | :52:29. | |
At the start she has not seen a tablet before, so she's not used | :52:30. | :52:36. | |
And when it comes to reading, she doesn't know more than one | :52:37. | :52:42. | |
But John, who is with the project, thinks the tablet will help her | :52:43. | :52:47. | |
Back in the capital, Dar es Salaam, the World Food Programme is testing | :52:48. | :52:52. | |
solar panel stations that will monitor the progress of each | :52:53. | :52:55. | |
That way if a tablet breaks, the youngster can get a new one | :52:56. | :53:02. | |
without having to start lessons from the beginning again. | :53:03. | :53:04. | |
In London this week, 11 semifinalists from seven | :53:05. | :53:09. | |
different countries were chosen from the nearly 200 | :53:10. | :53:11. | |
They will refine their software before the final five are chosen | :53:12. | :53:22. | |
to go to Tanzania to start the year-long project | :53:23. | :53:24. | |
So the problem is that there are about 60-100 million kids | :53:25. | :53:29. | |
who have no access to school because school is too far. | :53:30. | :53:32. | |
Then you have 250 million more who go to school and leave | :53:33. | :53:38. | |
without ever having learned to read or write a word. | :53:39. | :53:41. | |
And these are kids in Botswana, Boston, Brighton - | :53:42. | :53:43. | |
Kids go to school all over the world and they go, | :53:44. | :53:55. | |
That's the question we are trying to address. | :53:56. | :53:59. | |
In our greatest desire, every single child on planet Earth | :54:00. | :54:02. | |
has access to a world-class education in the palm of their hand. | :54:03. | :54:05. | |
Every single child has his or her potential fulfilled. | :54:06. | :54:08. | |
That's the dream and it's not a far-fetched dream. | :54:09. | :54:10. | |
We are hoping to be back next year to see how the teams get along | :54:11. | :54:15. | |
but for now it's time to say goodbye. | :54:16. | :54:18. | |
We've brought some biscuits to say thank you and suddenly | :54:19. | :54:20. | |
the difficulties the team will face when they arrive become clear. | :54:21. | :54:24. | |
With just 20 or so tablets per village there simply won't be | :54:25. | :54:27. | |
To reduce potential jealousy, the tablets will be locked to only | :54:28. | :54:32. | |
A village mama has been chosen to settle any disputes, | :54:33. | :54:45. | |
and the scheme's partners UNESCO will be asking some other important | :54:46. | :54:48. | |
We are doing an assessment of the social and emotional | :54:49. | :54:52. | |
Because we expect quite some criticism from that side. | :54:53. | :54:55. | |
We are engaging with the psychologists, anthropologists, | :54:56. | :54:57. | |
educationalists, to try to understand what does | :54:58. | :54:59. | |
Because children go to school, they are socialised also, | :55:00. | :55:06. | |
it's not only the learning, it's learning much more, | :55:07. | :55:08. | |
Now they've got tablets they are not really talking to anybody. | :55:09. | :55:27. | |
This is my first time to see people learning by using tablets. | :55:28. | :55:30. | |
So the scene is set, there are about six or seven | :55:31. | :55:39. | |
children around each individual tablet and we've seen more. | :55:40. | :55:41. | |
The Education Department from Tanzania is here too looking | :55:42. | :55:43. | |
at this project so there's a lot at stake. | :55:44. | :55:46. | |
It's not just $10 million, it could be the answer to the whole | :55:47. | :55:49. | |
Right, what should we play, what's your favourite game? | :55:50. | :56:02. | |
We should do flags and I'll take you both on. | :56:03. | :56:11. | |
That was Dan, and now time for some fun and games with these two clowns. | :56:12. | :56:15. | |
Not being rude, they are actually trained circus clowns. | :56:16. | :56:22. | |
But they're also the bosses of a company called Two Bit Circus, | :56:23. | :56:26. | |
and they want to build an enormous high-tech fun house | :56:27. | :56:28. | |
So we are building what we call a micro amusement park. | :56:29. | :56:38. | |
It's a 50,000 square feet entertainment complex dedicated | :56:39. | :56:41. | |
There is this period of time when kit comes out of the lab, | :56:42. | :56:56. | |
before it's ready for the home, that it's perfect for out-of-home. | :56:57. | :56:59. | |
You know, you can do some VR in your home right now, | :57:00. | :57:02. | |
but it is so much cooler if it's social like this and has | :57:03. | :57:06. | |
Motion platforms, your friends can play with you. | :57:07. | :57:09. | |
Brent and Eric have been making high-tech games and showpieces | :57:10. | :57:12. | |
for corporate events for a few years. | :57:13. | :57:14. | |
Their planned amusement complex will be a permanent home to some | :57:15. | :57:25. | |
Along with new experimental experiential oddities | :57:26. | :57:27. | |
being developed by their team of computer scientists, | :57:28. | :57:29. | |
We've got machines that can cut metal and cut wood, | :57:30. | :57:36. | |
we can prototype our circuit boards here, we have people | :57:37. | :57:38. | |
And the beautiful thing about this place is that at the end | :57:39. | :57:42. | |
of almost every day, there is something new to play with. | :57:43. | :57:45. | |
The philosophy here seems to be tinker first, think later. | :57:46. | :57:53. | |
I don't actually know the point of this game. | :57:54. | :57:56. | |
This is the ultimate play space and a great | :57:57. | :58:05. | |
coming together of people with many different skills. | :58:06. | :58:07. | |
We are drawing on multiple industries. | :58:08. | :58:09. | |
So, we have a lot of people from the games industry here. | :58:10. | :58:12. | |
So all of the development that's gone into sophisticated 3-D game | :58:13. | :58:15. | |
engines like Unity and Unreal, we can put that to work building | :58:16. | :58:18. | |
My background and the background of some others here is in | :58:19. | :58:28. | |
And we bring...we come with a completely different toolkit. | :58:29. | :58:32. | |
But the combination of those two things makes programming around | :58:33. | :58:34. | |
But there is still one big build remaining. | :58:35. | :58:41. | |
We are standing right in the middle of our micro amusement park. | :58:42. | :58:44. | |
Most of it is going to be a big open space. | :58:45. | :58:47. | |
A 100 seat interactive supper club is going to be over there. | :58:48. | :58:54. | |
With $15 million backing from companies including Intel | :58:55. | :58:58. | |
and Japanese ventures, Brent hopes that this 50,000 square | :58:59. | :59:00. | |
feet space in downtown LA will become the first of many two | :59:01. | :59:10. | |
OK, I think you've got a bit of work to do. | :59:11. | :59:16. | |
We've got some work to do, it's a little empty, you can see, | :59:17. | :59:20. | |
it will be a lot more fun when we are done. | :59:21. | :59:23. | |
But, yeah, from the moment we break ground to the moment | :59:24. | :59:26. | |
we are ready to open, it's four, five months. | :59:27. | :59:30. | |
Well, if they can pull it off this is going to be an incredible space | :59:31. | :59:34. | |
and a perfect excuse for us to come back here in January | :59:35. | :59:37. | |
OK, that's it for this week, follow us on Twitter and Facebook | :59:38. | :59:45. | |
for loads more stuff throughout this and every week. | :59:46. | :59:47. | |
Thanks for watching and we'll see you soon. | :59:48. | :00:19. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
Thousands of people are told to leave their homes as high rise | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
blocks in north London are evacuated over fire safety fears. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
Concerns were raised over cladding and gas pipe insulation. | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
The council has called it an "unprecedented operation". | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
I know it is difficult, but Grenfell Tower changes | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
everything and I don't think we can take any risk with the safety | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
of our residents and we need to put them first. | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
The evacuation on the Chalcots Estate began late night. | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
Some residents spent the night in hotels or on airbeds | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
The council need to be seen to be doing something, | :00:49. | :00:56. | |
this is a knee-jerk reaction from them | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
Ten days since the disaster, at least 14 states in nine areas of | :00:59. | :01:11. | |
England are now known to have cladding that has prompted safety | :01:12. | :01:12. | |
concerns. -- 14 states. -- estates. Good morning, it's | :01:13. | :01:25. | |
Saturday 24th June. The Leader of the Commons, | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
Andrea Leadsom, tells broadcasters they should be more "patriotic" | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
in their coverage of Brexit talks. In sport, can the Lions | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
roar in Auckland? They face the mighty All Blacks | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
in the first test at Eden Park - where New Zealand are | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
unbeaten for 23 years. And 20 years since their first | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
headline set, we'll get reaction after Radiohead played | :01:45. | :01:53. | |
the Pyramid Stage on the opening A big difference in the weather this | :01:54. | :02:10. | |
weekend compared to last week and's headway. It looks cooler and fresher | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
with more cloud and very windy in the north. More details in 15 | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
Good morning. minutes. | :02:17. | :02:16. | |
Around 4,000 people were told to evacuate their homes in Camden, | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
North London last night due to concerns about fire safety. | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
Camden Council told people in five towers on the Chalcots estate | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
to move after the fire service said their safety | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
The buildings are clad in similar material to Grenfell Tower, | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
where at least 79 people died in a fire last week. | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
Here is Nick Quraishi with the details. | :02:37. | :02:44. | |
The message from Camden Council as 4000 | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
residents were told to leave their homes late on Friday night. | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
Individuals are not being forced to leave, they are being told | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
to leave for their own safety and it's up to them | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
I intend to stay put and go back in their tonight. | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
I think it is a knee-jerk reaction from the | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
In the aftermath of Grenfell Tower, cladding here had been ruled unsafe. | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
Concerns have also been raised about fire doors | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
Any area which was not completely to the best standards | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
was a deep concern given the combination and that was | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
the message from the fire services today. | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
The issue is a combination of the two | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
factors that is why we have taken the action we have taken tonight. | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
At the leisure centre, air beds was assembled to cater | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
It will take up to four weeks to remove the external | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
cladding and during that time, people are being urged to stay | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
with family and friends or in hotels. | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
Camden Council has already secured 270 rooms in London and has spent | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
Some residents said the first they knew was on the news. | :03:49. | :03:56. | |
Children, families, babies, they have nowhere to go. | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
And I just think they left everything too late | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
This time of night, it is half past one now, | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
Grenfell Tower was destroyed from the bottom to the top. | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
We now know the fire started in a kitchen in a lower floor. | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
Police have also confirmed what eyewitnesses said - | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
the origin of the inferno was a Hotpoint fridge. | :04:23. | :04:34. | |
14 buildings in nine areas of England are now known to have | :04:35. | :04:39. | |

Good mining. Many residents are not residents spent the night. | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
Good mining. Many residents are not so clean to leave their homes | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
despite the advice. Good morning. That is very much the case. We have | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
seen many people coming and going from here. We met people arriving | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
here as late as half past four this morning and we have seen other | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
people going away, being taken to hotels in temporary accommodation | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
where they are able to stay for now. As you say, many of them are | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
frustrated under happy about this, others accept that this is safety | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
and that is why they are being moved from their homes and they are | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
complying with it. I am joined by the chair of the telco 's residence | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
society. This may have come as a surprise to many, you have been | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
working with the Council fire service over the last few days for a | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
ever since the Grenfell fire, the advice is being the key associations | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
have been working to make certain we have all information put out to | :05:58. | :06:11. | |
residents. We got the information out to residents straightaway as | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
soon as the decision was made, letting them know what happened. We | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
called the meeting on Thursday for the residents and there was a lot of | :06:20. | :06:32. | |
concern voiced. The result of the fire inspection, a lot of blocks had | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
to be evacuated because the fire service said it was not fire safe. | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
Many people out to be safe while work can be carried on. Some estates | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
say they feel that they do not get information. Can you help them with | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
that? I don't know much myself. I've been dealing with the council all | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
morning and I haven't been evacuated because my tower is a different | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
design. Contractors have been in their all-night to do what has to be | :07:07. | :07:15. | |
done and there. They are working in tableau in the moment as well. There | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
are many staff coming in this morning to make sure we get this | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
done as quickly as possible and to make certain that everybody is OK. | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
So people can be reassured? We hope people will be, because of what was | :07:29. | :07:36. | |
done. They say was left too laid in the evening but the council did not | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
get the information until late and we acted on that as quickly as | :07:40. | :07:48. | |
possible. Can you push the council into helping people who feel | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
frustrated? I will be doing that as soon as possible. That is the chair | :07:52. | :08:00. | |

Secretary Sajid Javid about this The Leader of the House of Commons, | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
Andrea Leadsom has said it would be helpful if broadcasters | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
"were willing to be a bit patriotic" She made the comment | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
while being questioned by Newsnight's Emily Maitliss | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
about the UK's position in talks We had various different EU | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
politicians, the elected politicians It would be helpful if broadcasters | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
would be patriotic. Are you accusing me | :08:42. | :08:51. | |
of being unpatriotic for questioning how | :08:52. | :08:59. | |
negotiations are going? We all need to pull | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
together as a country. We made a decision | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
one year ago today The outgoing leader | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
of the Liberal Democrats, Tim Farron, has described | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
Andrea Leadsom's remarks as "a sinister threat | :09:15. | :09:15. | |
to the free media" - More than 100 people are missing | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
after a landslide in south-western Around 40 homes were destroyed | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
when the side of a mountain Radiohead topped the bill on the | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
place to try to locate the missing. Radiohead topped the bill on the | :09:27. | :09:41. | |
opening night of lust and brick, 20 years after that one of the most | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
famous performances. Today we will see Katy Perry and the Foo Fighters | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
# I wish I was special # ... take to the stage. | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
For thousands of fans, Radiohead really | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
Receiving a rapturous reception in front of a packed | :09:54. | :10:01. | |
This was the musical climax to a day that featured a few unexpected | :10:02. | :10:12. | |
Earlier, Kris Kristofferson was accompanied on | :10:13. | :10:28. | |
stage by a guitar-playing Johnny Depp. Watching them, another | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
And one more famous face admitted that this | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
was set to be his very first Glastonbury. | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
Yeah, 42 years old and it is my first festival. | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
Slightly nervous because I don't know what to | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
expect but, obviously, apart from the great acts | :10:49. | :10:50. | |
Later today, names who will make an appearance on the main stage | :10:51. | :11:02. | |
include Katy Perry, Foo Fighters and Labour Party leader Jeremy | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
We will find out how the weather is going to be for those festival-goers | :11:05. | :11:17. | |
and for the rest of the country later in the programme. The time now | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
is 11 minutes past seven and let's return to the top story. The | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
decision last night to evacuate a number of tower blocks in Camden | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
because of fire safety concerns. Speak now to the communities | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
secretary who joins us from Westminster. Thank you for your | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
time. First of all, we watched events unfold in Camden and these | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
evacuations of the tower blocks there. What is your understanding of | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
what the decisive factor was in the council saying these people are not | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
safe in this building and we need them out? I would like to say that | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
it seems that evacuations have gone smoothly overnight and people have | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
been very calm and good-natured about it. As a result of that, I | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
have nothing but admiration for those residents of how they have | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
handled something clearly very difficult and very distressing. The | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
answer to your question about the nature of this is that as we all now | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
know in the wake of the terrible tragedy at Grenfell Tower, it was | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
absolutely critical that we check across the country, not just in | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
Camden but across the country, any similarly clad building, just to | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
make sure the cladding is safe. Camden is one of the councils that | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
have sent their samples in very early on. The cladding was deemed | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
not safe, it was combustible, and that is why we have required, in | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
those cases, immediately, that the local fire rescue service is brought | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
in to assess the building. Where there are mitigating serpents are | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
that, where they take place such as communal fire system alarms or | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
wardens, view should happen and the fire services they are building a | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
second that is the advice that should be taken. But in this case, | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
what happened is that the fire service and the London Fire | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
Commissioner said an inspection that there were multiple fire safety | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
checks in those buildings and as a result, there is one clear decision | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
which was to ask those residents to leave until the building could be | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
made safe. I think that was absolutely the right decision and it | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
must be followed and that is what Camden has done. As we understand, | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
currently there are 14 high-rise council buildings, specifically | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
council buildings, and are subject to the same testing requirements. | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
What is the difference between those buildings that have been evacuated | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
in Camden for safety of those people and those other remaining tower | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
blocks in which people are still living? There has been 14 test | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
results and for those buildings, tack cladding has also failed this | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
test is that the difference is that in each case... The similarity is | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
that in every case there is a requirement that the local Fire and | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
Rescue Service must make the fire assessment. Not landlords, not | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
politicians. And where the fire service have gone in and said they | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
can take mitigating measures, such as what happened in some other areas | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
like Plymouth in Manchester, they have installed fire wardens 24/7, | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
they have put in place the clearance of the car park, they have checked | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
and make sure all the other fire safety measures such as doors and | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
things are in place. As the fire service has deemed that as they then | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
that is the advice that has been followed. What was different here, | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
very different, is that the fire service, the local fire service | :14:35. | :14:36. | |
found that multiple other failures in the fire safety measures that | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
should have already been in place in the towers and as a result of that, | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
they have made this quite correct decision. So your understanding at | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
present is that the other tower block will beings have not yet had | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
the local fire service checks, which would get them to the point of | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
saying we cannot guarantee the safety. That phrase seems to be the | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
key issue, the local fire safety officer saying we cannot guarantee | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
the safety of people in the buildings. But it would not be | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
unreasonable to assume that if any building that is clad in that | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
material, no-one can guarantee their safety, can they? The logic would be | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
to remove people from the other buildings as a precaution. Allow me | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
to be very clear on this. In those other buildings, first of all they | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
have all had their cheque was and is. The first thing that happens if | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
a test result comes back as negative, the local council, the | :15:35. | :15:42. | |
landlord, and the fire safe the officer is formed some obtaining a | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
sleek -- informed simultaneously. A fire check is carried out | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
immediately and where the local fire services they can confirm all | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
regular fire safety measures are in place but they can also take the | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
mitigating measures, one of the better examples I guess if many of | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
them have decided that they will have until the cladding can be | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
removed, which may take weeks or in some cases months, they can have a | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
24-hour, seven-day a week fire wardens and measures of that nature, | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
if the fire service feels that that, as a result, leaves the building | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
safe for residents, then that is a decision that they can make and the | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
landlord can then make their decision based on that advice. That | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
is what has happened everywhere. The test has happened, the fire service | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
has been in and if there are any tests of which there are a number of | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
samples coming in all the time, we're turning them around as fast as | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
we can. The results are passed on to local authorities immediately, but | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
as soon as those test results come through, you find across the country | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
that the local fire services are in place and checking each of those | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
buildings. Being a lingam council has affected buildings and they are | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
talking about what they will do. Talking about the cost. Is the | :16:56. | :16:57. | |
position that, Central, government will be paying for all the | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
adaptations to the buildings? In Birmingham, to install sprinklers. I | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
know that is one of the once everyone will look at. Are you | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
making an up and pledged that if costs are incurred that they will be | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
covered centrally, whatever the cost is? | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
Our position has been very clear. Public safety is paramount and you | :17:18. | :17:25. | |
can't put a price on people's lives, so local authorities have to do | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
whatever it takes to get their building safe and any necessary | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
works they do, if they need support from the government, we can work | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
with them. Absolutely. What does that mean, work with them? Is that a | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
pledge that all that money will be found? If there's a local authority | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
and housing associations are let's not forget them, they owned many of | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
the tower blocks, if they need financial support, not all of them | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
will, we will work with them to make sure they have the resources they | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
need to do this work, absolutely. Birmingham council say they want a | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
final set up -- fund, specifically for sprinklers, for example. | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
Birmingham council just made that decision. They haven't approached us | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
with any proposals, but when they do we will work with them. Whatever is | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
necessary to keep people safe, that work should happen. It shouldn't be | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
slowed down because of some debate about costs. It should be work that | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
should go on immediately and any council, any housing associations on | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
that needs financial support, we will make sure they get it. There | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
are other buildings now which of course are being checked. I want to | :18:36. | :18:42. | |
ask is you specifically about NHS buildings, specifically high-rise | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
buildings. What do you know about any cladding? Has any information | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
come on to your desk about hospitals? That's an important | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
point. The focus has been residential buildings, for obvious | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
reasons. But of course when it comes to other buildings, including | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
hospitals, and there will be private buildings, offices, they are also | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
important. What happened in the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy is | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
just really for people, owners of these buildings, in this case the | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
NHS, to make absolutely sure that where those buildings are flooded it | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
is the cladding that they expected, so it is compliant. -- are cladded. | :19:23. | :19:32. | |
Do you know how many NHS buildings have been affected and are being | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
tested? NHS England is in contact with about 200 NHS trusts across the | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
country and they have asked for all of that information and it's a | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
priority for them. What they do have to go through the process of making | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
sure, not just using their central databases, but making sure they have | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
asked the right questions and they get the immediate returns. We are in | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
a situation where a lot of people are thinking we are ten days after | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
the Grenfell Tower fire and we still don't know whether NHS buildings | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
have that cladding. That seems extraordinary. You want to have a | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
belt and braces approach to this. There are the central databases, | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
where they will look at when buildings were renovated, whether | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
cladding was put on. A lot of these hospitals are former PFI projects, | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
so they were perhaps done by different contractors. One shouldn't | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
assume how many buildings there are in terms of just looking centrally, | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
you've got to go and ask the right questions. If I may give an example | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
from my department, first of all we try to look at our own information | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
we have in the department, but the only correct way, the only way you | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
can make sure, was by contacting and speaking to all 166 local | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
authorities in England, the 300 largest housing associations that | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
account for all of the tower blocks and asking them to feedback that | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
information, we can make absolutely sure that not a single building is | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
left out. That's why we have also set up a free and operating testing | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
facility on 100 can be done a day. If we need more capacity we can | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
supply them. But there's no shortcut to this. We've got to make sure this | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
is done properly. This is something we absolutely have to get right and | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
make sure it remains a number one public safety priority. Thank you | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
very much for your time this morning. | :21:25. | :21:26. | |
Good morning. Weather watchers at this morning's weather. | :21:27. | :21:35. | |
Good morning. Weather watchers pictures coming through. Not all | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
cloudy. There are good spells of sunshine, especially in the | :21:42. | :21:43. | |
north-east of England. This is from Newcastle. It is rather cloudy | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
elsewhere. Along the southern counties of England, the biggest of | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
the cloud their with spots of rain. This low pressure system will bring | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
windy weather to the northern half of the UK, especially the northern | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
half of Scotland and towards the Northern Ireland. The wind will pick | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
up through the day. Also feeding in blustery showers. Further south, a | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
lot of cloud and a bit of brightness in central and eastern Scotland. The | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
best of the brightness in the north-eastern parts of England. The | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
Midlands, towards eastern Wales. The weather front is struggling southern | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
counties of England, especially the south-west, where it could be quite | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
damp first thing. Damp weather in Glastonbury through the morning, but | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
it should be improving through the day and cloud will break up to allow | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
some bright or even sunny spells. The wings further south will be and | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
moderate. Warm weather sunshine comes out, especially in the | :22:43. | :22:44. | |
south-east and towards the north-east. Rain pushing into | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
north-west England and western parts of Wales. After we shower is | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
continuing in northern Scotland, where we could see up to 50 mph | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
gusts. Feeling cool. Elsewhere, quite warm and up to 25 degrees in | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
the south-east. Into this evening and overnight it stays blustery in | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
northern areas. More cloud at times, especially in the west. It could be | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
longer spells of rain pushing into the western hills. Quite a mild | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
night to come foremost. Still blustery in the north of the | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
country, especially in north-east Scotland and the Northern Ireland. | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
The low pressure pushes away but it allows fresh air to moving across | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
the country. With it, by the skies. Scotland, Northern Ireland, and | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
England, blustery showers. Rather cloudy. Especially for southern | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
areas today. Not quite as warm. Temperatures about 19- 22. Closer to | :23:37. | :23:38. | |
the mid- teens in Last week the TV presenter | :23:39. | :23:39. | |
Ant McPartlin revealed that he was receiving treatment | :23:40. | :23:47. | |
for addiction problems with alcohol The story drew attention | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
to a growing issue in the UK. The number of people | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
using and abusing prescription painkillers is increasing, | :23:56. | :23:57. | |
but doctors worry that a lack of awareness means they aren't | :23:58. | :23:59. | |
always getting the help they need. We're joined now | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
by Dr Yassir Abassi, he's an addiction specialist | :24:04. | :24:05. | |
for the NHS, and founder Also with us is the director | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
Adam Patterson, he's made Very good morning to both of you. It | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
drug abuse in Northern Ireland. Very good morning to both of you. It | :24:14. | :24:22. | |
is funny sometimes when a celebrity is linked to a problem and it gives | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
it much more attention than it has previously had. Just give us an | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
outline of the scale of the problem. Well, first of all I would like to | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
commend Ant McPartlin for coming out with this. It not only shows the | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
extent of the problem, what it has emboldened others to come out and | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
not suffer in silence. The fact that prescription drug dependence is an | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
underrated problem, we feel not enough is known about it. Crucially | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
speaking there are no truly established prevalence rates, so we | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
don't know how many people are dependent. If you look at one aspect | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
of it, painkillers, you would see that the prescription of these | :25:04. | :25:12. | |
medications is nearly 50%, from nearly 10- 12 million to 4 million | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
in a year. So the prescribing is there. The problem is there. How | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
many people are dependent, we aren't really sure. You have been looking | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
closely at this around the UK. I just want to show people are clipped | :25:27. | :25:28. | |
from your documentary. What's shocking there is that sounds | :25:29. | :26:23. | |
like someone who is on illegal drugs, is addicted to illegal drugs, | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
but these are ones you can get from the doctor and it's not being | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
managed, it seems. Is that the impression you got? Well, they are | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
legal because they are prescribed by a doctor. So because of that there's | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
this level of or societal acceptance. A problem that we see | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
with Kenneth is he feels he can't go outside or can't function in society | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
without having his maximum daily dose, first thing when he gets up in | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
the morning. He was originally on Valium. He saw a lot of violence in | :26:58. | :27:04. | |
the Troubles. But we've seen the impact to the generations that the | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
Troubles is having. People who corrupt in areas that were still | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
controlled by paramilitary groups. From 17 he was on Valium. When he | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
was imprisoned a few years ago he started and other drug, which he | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
spoke about, which is used to treat nerve pain, epilepsy and in his case | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
anxiety. But I'm not sure that checks and balances are in place. A | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
lot of people would be thinking there would be a doctor somewhere | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
handing this stuff over to you, legally. Where does the | :27:36. | :27:37. | |
responsibility lie with those people? There is no easy answer. The | :27:38. | :27:43. | |
doctors are faced with a very difficult situation. They've got | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
someone coming in and they have a short time to assess and in Northern | :27:48. | :27:50. | |
Ireland there maybe isn't the full range of talking therapies that they | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
may have in other places. So they say, you know, do they give them | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
something to treat this or not? These kids arch teaching each other | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
what to say to doctors that they can get these drugs -- are teaching each | :28:04. | :28:07. | |
other. It's difficult for a doctor to assess whether this is happening | :28:08. | :28:11. | |
to them or not. You were speaking specifically about Kenneth and his | :28:12. | :28:15. | |
issues. But this isn't necessarily always the case, that there's been | :28:16. | :28:20. | |
an extreme situation of in an environment. People almost seem to | :28:21. | :28:26. | |
be addicted after says surgery and not being weaned off these drugs. | :28:27. | :28:30. | |
Where does the blame lies? You are doctor and you see people who want | :28:31. | :28:34. | |
this painkillers. How do you manage that? The reasons are many. | :28:35. | :28:46. | |
Because... Ant says a lot about pharmacological intervention. People | :28:47. | :28:51. | |
want to be pain-free and you are looking for a quick fix, without | :28:52. | :28:55. | |
realising that there are so many other things you could do. People | :28:56. | :28:58. | |
who have arthritic pain don't focus on the fact that their weight could | :28:59. | :29:02. | |
be contributing to that and rather than working on that, they focus on | :29:03. | :29:08. | |
medication. These are legitimate painkillers, prescriptions, which | :29:09. | :29:16. | |
are required, but the problem is when we start misusing them. How | :29:17. | :29:21. | |
does that interaction happened? As Adam said you have a limited time | :29:22. | :29:26. | |
with patients, when you see them. Maybe patients are reluctant to keep | :29:27. | :29:31. | |
coming to the doctor for this. It is important. Anyone on painkiller | :29:32. | :29:34. | |
prescriptions, if they are on them for a period of time, it is | :29:35. | :29:38. | |
important for the prescriber to be aware of that and review the need | :29:39. | :29:42. | |
for the painkiller on a regular basis, review the pain, the need, | :29:43. | :29:45. | |
review if there are any other interventions that would take place. | :29:46. | :29:49. | |
Sometimes they are limited, but it is important to through that with a | :29:50. | :29:53. | |
person, rather than putting on repeats and not coming back to it at | :29:54. | :29:57. | |
all. Thank you very much. Thank you for your time this morning. | :29:58. | :30:00. | |

Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga | :31:19. | :31:21. | |
Coming up before eight Holly will be here with the sport and Stav | :31:22. | :31:25. | |
But first, a summary of this morning's main news. | :31:26. | :31:28. | |
Around 4,000 people were told to evacuate their homes in Camden, | :31:29. | :31:31. | |
North London last night due to concerns about fire safety. | :31:32. | :31:34. | |
Camden Council told people in five towers on the Chalcots estate | :31:35. | :31:37. | |
to move after the fire service said their safety | :31:38. | :31:40. | |
The buildings are clad in similar material to Grenfell Tower, | :31:41. | :31:43. | |
Some residents were left feeling in a fire last week. | :31:44. | :31:55. | |
Some residents were left feeling angry. There are children, families | :31:56. | :32:02. | |
with babies. They have nowhere to go and I just think they left | :32:03. | :32:09. | |
everything too late and dealing with it at this time of night, half one, | :32:10. | :32:18. | |
it is ridiculous. In about 45 minutes we will talk to the leader | :32:19. | :32:21. | |
of Camden Council. The Leader of the House of Commons, | :32:22. | :32:24. | |
Andrea Leadsom has said it would be helpful if broadcasters | :32:25. | :32:28. | |
"were willing to be a bit patriotic" She made the comment | :32:29. | :32:31. | |
while being questioned by Newsnight's Emily Maitliss | :32:32. | :32:34. | |
about the UK's position in talks We had various different EU | :32:35. | :32:37. | |
politicians, the elected politicians It would be helpful if broadcasters | :32:38. | :32:40. | |
would be patriotic. Are you accusing me | :32:41. | :32:51. | |
of being unpatriotic for questioning how | :32:52. | :32:58. | |
negotiations are going? We all need to pull | :32:59. | :33:03. | |
together as a country. We made a decision | :33:04. | :33:06. | |
one year ago today The outgoing leader | :33:07. | :33:09. | |
of the Liberal Democrats, Tim Farron, has described | :33:10. | :33:14. | |
Andrea Leadsom's remarks as "a sinister threat | :33:15. | :33:16. | |
to the free media" - More than 100 people are missing | :33:17. | :33:19. | |
after a landslide in south-western Around 40 homes were destroyed | :33:20. | :33:24. | |
when the side of a mountain A rescue operation is now taking | :33:25. | :33:29. | |
place to try to locate the missing. Katy Perry and the Foo Fighters will | :33:30. | :33:39. | |
top the bill at Glastonbury today. Last night, Radiohead took | :33:40. | :33:43. | |
to the pyramid stage, 20 years after first | :33:44. | :33:45. | |
being the headline act It's expected around 135,000 people | :33:46. | :33:47. | |
will be in attendance Time to talk sport now. Good | :33:48. | :33:50. | |
stories this morning. Time to talk sport now. Good | :33:51. | :34:02. | |
morning, Holly. A big game coming up. Just under one hour to go? Less | :34:03. | :34:07. | |
than an hour now. You can only imagine what the level of excitement | :34:08. | :34:12. | |
is over in Auckland this morning. We have been counting down to this for | :34:13. | :34:18. | |
weeks now and this is the first official match. I know there are | :34:19. | :34:23. | |
huge crowds over there, watching online and on listening on the radio | :34:24. | :34:28. | |
but it will just be so much. You will be so exciting, but not easy. | :34:29. | :34:35. | |
New Zealand has a 23-year-old unbeaten record on home turf is I | :34:36. | :34:40. | |
cannot think will be an easy ride but crossed. They feel confident, | :34:41. | :34:44. | |
the captain -- coach and certainly is. | :34:45. | :34:45. | |
We're less than two hours away from the first test | :34:46. | :34:48. | |
between the British and Irish Lions and New Zealand in Auckland. | :34:49. | :34:51. | |
The All Blacks haven't lost in 23 years at Eden Park - | :34:52. | :34:54. | |
the last side to beat them anywhere was Ireland, | :34:55. | :34:57. | |
Were speaking out to Katie in Auckland. I can only imagine what | :34:58. | :35:06. | |
the atmosphere is like that this will not be easy. Notoriously | :35:07. | :35:09. | |
difficult side. How confident will Warren be feeling right now? If you | :35:10. | :35:20. | |
has been plenty of fighting talk at his press conference, an ebb and | :35:21. | :35:23. | |
flow of mind games between him and the opposing coach but I think he is | :35:24. | :35:27. | |
confident in his players and that comes because of recent results on | :35:28. | :35:31. | |
this tour. In unconvincing wins and has changed the complexion around | :35:32. | :35:36. | |
the lines and around how they are viewed as well in the New Zealand | :35:37. | :35:40. | |
media here. At the start of the tour I don't think many people gave them | :35:41. | :35:43. | |
a chance because of the scale of this challenge. It isn't thought of | :35:44. | :35:49. | |
as the toughest test in rugby. This site have only known each other | :35:50. | :35:53. | |
properly for a few weeks, coming to the home of the world champions, | :35:54. | :35:56. | |
Eden Park, where they have not lost since 1994, before some of the | :35:57. | :36:02. | |
current side were even born. But recent results and an adventurous | :36:03. | :36:07. | |
team that Warren Gatland has named has given a sense of is and | :36:08. | :36:11. | |
positivity. Whether we see that at the final whistle is really the big | :36:12. | :36:16. | |
question. The weather there over the last few days, there has been rain, | :36:17. | :36:21. | |
what sort of advantage will that give to the Lions. Will it benefit | :36:22. | :36:30. | |
them? The weather here has been unpredictable. Off and on raining | :36:31. | :36:36. | |
all day and now it looks clear. I am now Carol, of course, but I don't | :36:37. | :36:39. | |
think we can predict what the conditions will be like out there. | :36:40. | :36:43. | |
Warren Gatland was asked whether another wet conditions might | :36:44. | :36:50. | |
advantage his side because if you look at the games they have played | :36:51. | :36:54. | |
so far, they have had great set pieces and a solid defensive game | :36:55. | :37:00. | |
and we conditions suit them. Here he dismissed it. He does not want to | :37:01. | :37:06. | |
rely on conditions. He feels that the side he has named with a couple | :37:07. | :37:09. | |
of surprises in there, Liam Williams and Elliot Daly, he feels that may | :37:10. | :37:19. | |
be perhaps they will not match New Zealand in terms of the rope and | :37:20. | :37:23. | |
expensive play but they certainly enough to give them problems. I | :37:24. | :37:26. | |
don't think it will be relying on the weather. Not much longer before | :37:27. | :37:31. | |
that begins and we are looking forward to it. Scotland have lost | :37:32. | :37:38. | |
their final match and Ireland play Japan in Tokyo. | :37:39. | :37:41. | |
Jason Roy became the first player in international T20 cricket history | :37:42. | :37:45. | |
to be given out for obstructing the field, as England lost | :37:46. | :37:48. | |
to South Africa by just three runs at Taunton. | :37:49. | :37:50. | |
England were cruising towards their target of 175 | :37:51. | :37:52. | |
when South Africa claimed Roy had deliberately got in the way | :37:53. | :37:55. | |
England needed a four from the last ball - | :37:56. | :38:00. | |
The series decider is at Cardiff tomorrow. | :38:01. | :38:05. | |
The women's Cricket World Cup starts today, with the ICC hoping it'll be | :38:06. | :38:08. | |
a turning point for the women's game. | :38:09. | :38:10. | |
England go into the tournament on the back | :38:11. | :38:13. | |
They take on India in the opening match in Derby, where a sell-out | :38:14. | :38:18. | |
British men's tennis number three Dan Evans has been provisionally | :38:19. | :38:25. | |
suspended after testing positive for cocaine. | :38:26. | :38:28. | |
The test was taken in April but he was only told | :38:29. | :38:31. | |
He could be banned for up to four years. | :38:32. | :38:39. | |
I was notified a few days ago that I failed a drugs test in April | :38:40. | :38:43. | |
This was taken out of competition and the context was completely | :38:44. | :38:47. | |
I made a mistake and I must face up to it. | :38:48. | :38:51. | |
I do not condone for one second that this was acceptable | :38:52. | :38:54. | |
My family, my coach, my team, sponsors, British tennis | :38:55. | :38:58. | |
I can only deeply apologise from the bottom of my heart. | :38:59. | :39:07. | |
Petra Kvitova's comeback is still going well. | :39:08. | :39:09. | |
She's through to the semi-finals of the Aegon Classic | :39:10. | :39:13. | |
in Birmingham after beating Kristina Mladenovic. | :39:14. | :39:15. | |
This was Kvitova's fifth match since returning to the circuit, | :39:16. | :39:17. | |
after she was stabbed in the hand six months ago. | :39:18. | :39:22. | |
Max Verstappen dominated day one of practice for the Azerbaijan Grand | :39:23. | :39:33. | |
But he did give his Red Bull mechanics some extra work to do, | :39:34. | :39:36. | |
with just seconds remaining of the second session. | :39:37. | :39:39. | |
And the afternoon shadows caused problems for a few drivers - | :39:40. | :39:42. | |
Jolyon Palmer struggling to judge his braking distance. | :39:43. | :39:44. | |
Lewis Hamilton almost collided with Kimi Raikkonen | :39:45. | :39:46. | |
The odds on favourite "Winter" won the big race on day four of Royal | :39:47. | :39:51. | |
The Fillies took centre stage in the Coronation Stakes | :39:52. | :39:54. | |
and "Winter", ridden by Ryan Moore and trained by Aidan O'Brien, | :39:55. | :39:57. | |
launched a late charge to add it to her English and Irish 1000 | :39:58. | :40:01. | |
Castleford moved seven points clear at the top of Super League | :40:02. | :40:06. | |
with a 23-12 victory at Yorkshire rivals Leeds. | :40:07. | :40:09. | |
Zak Hardaker scored a stunning solo try | :40:10. | :40:12. | |
against his former club as Castleford won their eighth | :40:13. | :40:16. | |
Hull are up to second after they beat Wakefield | :40:17. | :40:21. | |
Not long now and we're looking between Wigan and Huddersfield. | :40:22. | :40:35. | |
Not long now and we're looking forward to it. Are we feeling | :40:36. | :40:40. | |
positive? Are we backing the Lions? I think anything can happen. If you | :40:41. | :40:45. | |
win one, the first is the one you want. You lay down a marker and then | :40:46. | :40:52. | |
who knows what will happen. It will be a wonderful occasion. Looking | :40:53. | :40:53. | |
forward to it. Since it started in Finland, | :40:54. | :40:54. | |
it's proved to be hugely successful Now hobby-horse show-jumping | :40:55. | :40:57. | |
has arrived in the UK. Ahead of this weekend's inaugural | :40:58. | :41:01. | |
national championships we sent Mike It's the stuff of dreams | :41:02. | :41:04. | |
for seven-year-old Olivia. Her imagination | :41:05. | :41:21. | |
running free in a real showjumping ring as she races | :41:22. | :41:24. | |
against the clock, hoping for a clear round ahead | :41:25. | :41:26. | |
of the inaugural I like jumping because | :41:27. | :41:30. | |
you can go as high as you want and I find | :41:31. | :41:39. | |
that really cool. Here we have Mike riding | :41:40. | :41:41. | |
Breakfast Charlie. For those of us who cannot | :41:42. | :41:43. | |
afford a horse or have been challenged by lack of riding | :41:44. | :41:56. | |
ability, this is an ideal way of experiencing | :41:57. | :42:00. | |
a showjumping competition. It is my first one ever, | :42:01. | :42:01. | |
and I am being put through my It is all about the angles | :42:02. | :42:05. | |
and getting as tight as you can The fences may not be huge, | :42:06. | :42:09. | |
but in heat, in the summer it is certainly | :42:10. | :42:14. | |
a physical challenge. And try telling 5-year-old Eli | :42:15. | :42:17. | |
that this is somewhat silly. He did not know when he was beaten | :42:18. | :42:23. | |
and had the stamina to keep going. He was glowing with pride | :42:24. | :42:27. | |
when he eventually finished, especially because he had | :42:28. | :42:30. | |
made his own horse. Small kids can have a go | :42:31. | :42:34. | |
and also the big kids. And, like so, not everybody has | :42:35. | :42:47. | |
an opportunity to be around a horse They are far less work | :42:48. | :42:51. | |
compared to a real horse And less time involved | :42:52. | :42:58. | |
on the training side, It all began in Finland | :42:59. | :43:01. | |
to encourage girls, mainly in the inner city, to get | :43:02. | :43:07. | |
more active in equestrian sport. Now tens of thousands turn | :43:08. | :43:10. | |
up for competitions. Their story is told | :43:11. | :43:13. | |
in a new movie, The Hobbyhorse Revolution, which reflects | :43:14. | :43:16. | |
the height of the fences now and shows how competitive | :43:17. | :43:19. | |
it has become. While for the show in | :43:20. | :43:26. | |
Berkshire, the first national championship was the answer | :43:27. | :43:28. | |
when they could not show real horse The Olympics did great | :43:29. | :43:31. | |
work for us and I think If we can bring more | :43:32. | :43:37. | |
people into the game, You can see what it | :43:38. | :43:41. | |
feels like when the horse jumps so you have that | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
feel, the excitement. But it is the jumping | :43:47. | :43:50. | |
that has most newcomers He has found a new sport. Some | :43:51. | :44:19. | |
people think this is an April fool but it is a real thing and they are | :44:20. | :44:25. | |
really doing it. It is almost a quarter to eight. Time for the main | :44:26. | :44:27. | |
stories. You're watching | :44:28. | :44:28. | |
Breakfast from BBC News. The main stories this morning: | :44:29. | :44:30. | |
Hundreds of flats have been evacuated in North London tower | :44:31. | :44:33. | |
blocks because of fire safety concerns following the | :44:34. | :44:36. | |
Grenfell Tower tragedy. And Radiohead have headlined | :44:37. | :44:37. | |
the opening night of the Glastonbury Festival, | :44:38. | :44:39. | |
20 years after they first topped It might be sunny for those in | :44:40. | :44:53. | |
Glastonbury and the rest of us. Let's find out what the weather | :44:54. | :44:55. | |
Hello and welcome to Newswatch. Many questions remain | :44:56. | :47:22. | |
after the Grenfell Tower fire, but some viewers questioned | :47:23. | :47:25. | |
whether BBC news coverage served to incite anger amongst residents. | :47:26. | :47:32. | |
You could stop it spreading by spending ?2 more... | :47:33. | :47:37. | |
The interview Emily Maitlis conducted with Theresa May last | :47:38. | :47:39. | |
Friday seemed to unfairly lay all blame for the fire personally | :47:40. | :47:42. | |
How Huw Edwards occupied himself for the first four minutes | :47:43. | :47:53. | |
In the very early hours of Monday morning, the sound of multiple | :47:54. | :48:05. | |
police sirens was heard again on the streets of London. | :48:06. | :48:08. | |
And the BBC's overnight news service reported the facts, | :48:09. | :48:10. | |
We start with breaking news this hour. | :48:11. | :48:17. | |
A number of people have been injured in North London after a vehicle | :48:18. | :48:20. | |
The Muslim Council of Britain has said that worshippers were hit | :48:21. | :48:24. | |
by a van as they left prayers at the Finsbury Park mosque. | :48:25. | :48:27. | |
One eyewitness has told the BBC that at least three people | :48:28. | :48:30. | |
Some hours later, it emerged that one man, Makram Ali, | :48:31. | :48:38. | |
died in the attack and that another, Darren Osborne, had been arrested | :48:39. | :48:41. | |
on suspicion of attempted murder and terror offences. | :48:42. | :48:43. | |
Before that, though, a number of viewers objected | :48:44. | :48:52. | |
to the way the incident had initially been | :48:53. | :48:54. | |
One of them rang Newswatch with his thoughts. | :48:55. | :48:57. | |
I am calling about your recent coverage of the | :48:58. | :49:00. | |
I just don't understand why the mainstream media right now | :49:01. | :49:03. | |
is not calling this out as a terrorist attack. | :49:04. | :49:06. | |
At the moment, which is very disappointing. | :49:07. | :49:08. | |
Considering that, if it was a Muslim, you would be | :49:09. | :49:11. | |
very quick to point out that it is a terrorist attack. | :49:12. | :49:14. | |
But for a white guy or anyone else who's running people | :49:15. | :49:17. | |
over, for some reason, you have a different way | :49:18. | :49:19. | |
Well, we put that view to BBC News and they told us... | :49:20. | :49:48. | |
Last Friday afternoon, the distress and anger which had | :49:49. | :49:50. | |
been building up in the wake of the Grenfell Tower | :49:51. | :49:53. | |
Here is Jeremy Cooke reporting on that night's News at Six. | :49:54. | :50:03. | |
A crowd storms Kensington Town Hall demanding action. | :50:04. | :50:05. | |
How could this tragedy have happened, on this scale? | :50:06. | :50:26. | |
That evening and through the weekend, BBC reporters heard | :50:27. | :50:35. | |
many appeals and complaints of that kind from residents of the estate | :50:36. | :50:39. | |
I just want to know how many people have died. | :50:40. | :50:47. | |
Why are people being rehoused outside London? | :50:48. | :50:55. | |
Where are we going to move? What do we need? | :50:56. | :50:59. | |
These are fundamental questions and only, we are days | :51:00. | :51:03. | |
I have done the angry. I have got to get this done. | :51:04. | :51:07. | |
It is always the public that runs to rescue. | :51:08. | :51:09. | |
Those questions were heard many times on camera | :51:10. | :51:13. | |
And others were put to the Prime Minister on Friday. | :51:14. | :51:18. | |
That was in an interview by Emily Maitlis of Newsnight. | :51:19. | :51:21. | |
There were two types of material that could have been | :51:22. | :51:24. | |
used in the cladding - one was flammable | :51:25. | :51:26. | |
and one was fireproof, and the fireproof one cost ?2 more. | :51:27. | :51:29. | |
We have yet to find out what the cause of the fire was. | :51:30. | :51:34. | |
You could have stopped it spreading by spending ?2 | :51:35. | :51:43. | |
The Fire Service are looking at what the cause of the fire was. | :51:44. | :51:54. | |
And it is important that we get to the bottom of this, that we find | :51:55. | :51:58. | |
But you were recommended this, in 2013. | :51:59. | :52:01. | |
You were in government, then, and the coroner said you could have | :52:02. | :52:05. | |
stopped this with a sprinkler system in every block. | :52:06. | :52:07. | |
And the government has taken action on the recommendations | :52:08. | :52:10. | |
Lots of reaction from Newswatch viewers to that interview. | :52:11. | :52:13. | |
Typical was Ian Whitehouse, who recorded his thoughts | :52:14. | :52:15. | |
We all have the utmost sympathy and sadness | :52:16. | :52:19. | |
However, nothing can justify the appalling | :52:20. | :52:22. | |
viciousness of the haranguing of the Prime Minister | :52:23. | :52:24. | |
It was more like a kangaroo court diatribe, based on assumptions | :52:25. | :52:38. | |
of responsibility and guilt which hadn't yet | :52:39. | :52:40. | |
even been discussed, let alone proven. | :52:41. | :52:42. | |
Other viewers contacted us with their concerns about reporting | :52:43. | :52:44. | |
And the allegations and emotions expressed by residents. | :52:45. | :52:48. | |
Here are the views of David Shute and Alan Cummings. | :52:49. | :52:51. | |
The BBC was on the spot for immediate eyewitness accounts, | :52:52. | :52:53. | |
in competition with rivals which reached fever pitch, recently. | :52:54. | :52:56. | |
And because of that their obligations for broadcasting | :52:57. | :52:58. | |
accurately and with accountability is being compromised. | :52:59. | :53:00. | |
They have proved, in the event, to being totally inaccurate, | :53:01. | :53:03. | |
highly emotive and often personally influenced accounts broadcast | :53:04. | :53:05. | |
I think that in the recent Grenfell Tower tragedy we saw | :53:06. | :53:20. | |
reporting which was actually starting to incite violence, | :53:21. | :53:22. | |
incite further trouble, which is not what reporting is about. | :53:23. | :53:30. | |
Another viewer who got in touch on the subject was Jon Brookes, | :53:31. | :53:34. | |
and he joins us now from our Ipswich studio. | :53:35. | :53:36. | |
Jon, there were lots of concerns about coverage | :53:37. | :53:39. | |
Last week, a number of viewers commented on it being used | :53:40. | :53:46. | |
as a backdrop to news bulletins when it was still burning. | :53:47. | :53:49. | |
There was no real need to have somebody on the scene standing | :53:50. | :53:55. | |
It almost seemed as though you were dwelling on... | :53:56. | :54:07. | |
In a way, it was a type of hysteria, because in the end it wound a lot | :54:08. | :54:14. | |
of people up to make protests when they might | :54:15. | :54:16. | |
The BBC need to realise that perhaps they were part of the megaphones | :54:17. | :54:21. | |
talk by a lot of people, including politicians, | :54:22. | :54:23. | |
who incited those people to behave like that. | :54:24. | :54:28. | |
In filling the air time in the days after the disaster, | :54:29. | :54:31. | |
did you have views about people discussing what might have | :54:32. | :54:34. | |
Normally, when this happens anywhere, in any factory, | :54:35. | :54:40. | |
the health and safety people come in, the police | :54:41. | :54:43. | |
and the inspectorates, and they decide what's caused it. | :54:44. | :54:45. | |
But the speculation on there was massive. | :54:46. | :54:47. | |
It may well be, that it was the panels, it | :54:48. | :54:54. | |
seems to be the case, but speculation without | :54:55. | :54:56. | |
One of the other issue you wanted to raise and some other viewers did, | :54:57. | :55:07. | |
was about interviews with the Prime Minister | :55:08. | :55:08. | |
and the way she was treated in relation to the fire. | :55:09. | :55:11. | |
Mrs May, I'm not one of her supporters, but | :55:12. | :55:14. | |
how could she be held responsible or blamed for what's happened there? | :55:15. | :55:17. | |
Now we know that those panels are in place all over the UK | :55:18. | :55:21. | |
and that is down to planning people making sure that they are | :55:22. | :55:24. | |
She can't be responsible for that, and yet, some people | :55:25. | :55:27. | |
You think the BBC was doing interviews in an irresponsible way? | :55:28. | :55:38. | |
I don't think you helped matters by allowing those people to say | :55:39. | :55:41. | |
what they were saying, particularly outside when they were | :55:42. | :55:43. | |
Well, as you know, we did want to talk to someone from the BBC | :55:44. | :55:54. | |
And they have given us this statement. | :55:55. | :56:33. | |
Any thoughts in response to that statement, | :56:34. | :56:35. | |
particularly when they talked about accountability in interviews? | :56:36. | :56:38. | |
Yes, how can you judge accountability when you have no | :56:39. | :56:41. | |
facts to back up the claims that it was the cladding? | :56:42. | :56:44. | |
I've never heard a producer admit he is wrong about anything. | :56:45. | :56:58. | |
They can waffle all they like but, in this case, | :56:59. | :57:01. | |
To accentuate it to the degree that they did. | :57:02. | :57:06. | |
After all, there was no need to have them there every day | :57:07. | :57:09. | |
And I just think that people who had relatives in there, | :57:10. | :57:14. | |
how do you think they must have felt? | :57:15. | :57:16. | |
Finally it has been an extremely busy news period, | :57:17. | :57:20. | |
most of it very bad, so it is understandable | :57:21. | :57:22. | |
if some of the audience, perhaps even some of the journalists | :57:23. | :57:25. | |
wanted it all to occasionally just calm down and stop. | :57:26. | :57:28. | |
On Tuesday night it did just that as those watching the ten o'clock | :57:29. | :57:32. | |
evening bulletin on News Channel were treated to this... | :57:33. | :57:53. | |
There followed four minutes of Huw Edwards waiting patiently, | :57:54. | :57:56. | |
checking over his script and taking notes, all interspersed with some | :57:57. | :57:59. | |
Viewers on BBC One only had a bit of that before the presentation | :58:00. | :58:07. | |
announcer took over with a holding message and some music. | :58:08. | :58:10. | |
Apparently the BBC News technical system crashed seconds before ten | :58:11. | :58:15. | |
o'clock and although Huw Edwards wasn't told he was on air | :58:16. | :58:19. | |
for a couple of minutes, having heard pandemonium | :58:20. | :58:21. | |
in the background, he thought he would take the conservative | :58:22. | :58:23. | |
approach and just sit there, quietly. | :58:24. | :58:26. | |
The glitch prompted a flurry of reaction on Twitter. | :58:27. | :58:29. | |
Thank you for all your comments this week. | :58:30. | :58:46. | |
Please send us your thoughts on BBC News and current affairs. | :58:47. | :58:49. | |
their safety could not be guaranteed. | :58:50. | :03:22. | |
raised about fire doors and gas pipes. Any area which was not | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
completely up to the best standards was of deep concern giving the | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
combination. That was the message today. The issue was the combination | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
of two factors and that is why we have taken the action we have taken | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
tonight. At the leisure centre, air beds were assembled to cater for up | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
to 100 residents. It will take up to four weeks to remove cladding from | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
the estate. During that time, people are urged to stay with family or | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
friends or in hotels. Camden Council has already secured 270 rooms in | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
London and have spent the night transporting people. Some residents | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
said the first they knew was on the news. There are children, families | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
with babies, they have nowhere to go. And I just think they left | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
everything too late in dealing with it at this time of night, which is | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
half one now. This is ridiculous. Grenfell Tower was destroyed from | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
the bottom to the top. We now know that the fire started in a kitchen | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
in the lower floor. Police have also confirmed what eyewitnesses, the | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
origin of the inferno was able to fridge freezer full of at least 14 | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
buildings in nine areas of England and now known to have cladding which | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
has prompted fire safety can ten days on from the worst fires since | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
World War Two, it's -- its shadow looms large over social housing. | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
Earlier on Breakfast and community Secretary spoke to us and said that | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
councils will get the financial support for works needed. Our | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
position has been very clear on this. Public safety is absolutely | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
paramount. You can put a price on the lives of people. Local | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
authorities, they have to do whatever it takes to get their | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
buildings save and any necessary works they do, if they need support | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
from the government, we can work with them, absolutely. What does | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
that mean? Working with them? Is that a pledge that all the money | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
will be found centrally or not? Local authorities and housing | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
associations to earn many of these tower blocks, if they need financial | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
support, not all will, but if they do, we will work with them to make | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
sure they have the resources to make sure they have what is necessary. | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
They will not be put at risk. Let's get straight to Katrina outside the | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
leisure centre in Camden where many people are being looked after. I | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
know you have been speaking to many affected. We have just seen in the | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
last few minutes more people arriving here. A steady stream of | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
people coming and going all night, some going to hotels, others | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
arriving to get registered and to find out what support they can get. | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
Some people, of course, those who decided to leave their homes. I am | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
joined by Roger who decided to stay put. You live in the Taplow block, | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
the why did you decide to stay? Nothing | :06:21. | :06:30. | |
has changed in a building as far as I'm concerned over the last few days | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
and weeks will I have residents in essence it first built nearly 50 | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
years ago. Things need replacing or changing but we live in these | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
conditions previously. So I just think the council to works that need | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
to be done around us and this is a major overreaction, to evacuate the | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
building. The council told people that they should leave stopped the | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
advice from the fire services as it may not be safe why would you stay | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
in those circumstances? Are you under any pressure to get out? I was | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
discouraged from staining and then I was, I had a knock on the door this | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
morning from a council worker and a policeman, to check up on me. When I | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
left the building this morning there was a fire officer there checking me | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
in and out of the building. The general advice is to get out and | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
evacuate but until circumstances change, I want to stay put. And you | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
believe you will be able to get in? I hope so, yes. You have seen many | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
of your neighbours coming here, many of them in quite a distressed state | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
at the speed at which they had been moved out of their homes. Clearly | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
you sympathise with that as well. It has been a natural reaction for many | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
that they should leave. They should get out. Yesterday there were people | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
from the council coming around, telling everybody to evacuate the | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
building in paperback. I just feel for my neighbours with children, | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
with pets, where do they go as they have to stay here and not got a lot | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
of sleep? Whistles and distressed neighbours of mind. It is, perhaps, | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
and overreaction knee-jerk by the council and it could have been done | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
differently. However, I must say that the council has done a fine job | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
at organising all of. It seems to be in a better situation than | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
Kensington was in. There have been a number of fire safety issues that | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
they were unaware of and that's why people should not remain in the | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
building. What do you say to that? I find that disconcerting and | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
worrying. They have to be seen to be doing | :08:35. | :09:06. | |
something. There are options, whether this is the best option, I | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
think only time will tell. Thank you very much indeed for talking to us. | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
We wish you luck and the council has said that they had to do this, we | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
have to act on fire service advice. They say that there are questions on | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
how this could have happened to the building and they want to ask those | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
questions. They will be answered and action. We will be speaking in the | :09:30. | :09:37. | |
next few minutes the shadow business secretary, the Peter Southwark and | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
sovereign. There have been a number of buildings affected by the | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
cladding and we will speak to her shortly. The Leader of the House of | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
Commons, Andrea Leadsom has said that it would be helpful if more | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
broadcasters were willing to be a bit patriotic in regards to Brexit. | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
She made the comment well-being questioned about the UK's position | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
A warning, this report contains on talks with the EU. | :10:02. | :11:18. | |
# I wish I was special # ... flash images. | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
For thousands of fans, Radiohead really | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
Receiving a rapturous reception in front of a packed | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
This was the musical climax to a day that featured a few unexpected | :11:34. | :11:42. | |
Earlier, Kris Kristofferson was accompanied on | :11:43. | :11:55. | |
stage by a guitar-playing Johnny Depp. | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
Watching them, another Hollywood star, Brad Pitt. | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
And one more famous face admitted that this | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
was set to be his very first Glastonbury. | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
Yeah, 42 years old and it is my first festival. | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
Slightly nervous because I don't know what to | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
expect but, obviously, apart from the great acts | :12:19. | :12:20. | |
Later today, big names will be making an appearance on the Pyramid | :12:21. | :12:34. | |
skate The Stage including Katy Perry, Foo Fighters and Jeremy | :12:35. | :12:35. | |
Corbyn. Weather and sport is coming up | :12:36. | :12:47. | |
shortly. Let's go back to the main story this morning, cladding is to | :12:48. | :12:48. | |
be high-rise buildings in many areas | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
and several England following the Grenfell Tower fire. In greater | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
Manchester it will be removed from nine top box as a precaution after | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
tests revealed it was made from similar materials to those used the | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
Grenfell Tower. Joining us now is Rebecca Long Bailey. Thank you for | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
joining us. Your reaction to what has happened in North London? | :13:15. | :13:22. | |
Residents told to leave the building because of fire safety concerns. I | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
think they have made the right decision. If there are any risks in | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
terms of evacuating residents, they need to take robust action and I | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
think they have made appropriate measures. Fire services have | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
investigated the building and told us they were not safe in terms of | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
evacuation and current fire measures in place. Can we talk about your | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
constituency in Salford? Nine tower blocks are being assessed. What is | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
happening and what was the process in terms of fire safety assessments | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
and residents, what they are being told? All housing associations and | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
local authorities have been asked to talk to the government. | :14:01. | :14:12. | |
Looking at specifications, and the building control department, they | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
have made the decision that they think the panels are the same as | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
those used at Grenfell and likely to be similar. They are taking them off | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
the buildings immediately. You have made the adjustment, not the fire | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
department? The fire department has assessed the safety internally of | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
all buildings, so that is why we don't have that situation in Camden. | :14:39. | :14:48. | |
We have reassured them that the standards are there. All nine blocks | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
have got 24-hour guard monitoring every floor. | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
All of the other safety measures, fire doors and the other things that | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
will usually be assessed by the Fire Authority have been looked at in | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
extreme detail. Can you say categorically that they are | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
absolutely safe. I don't think we can say categorically they're | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
absolutely safe until we know the results of the cladding tests | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
themselves. Given the information that Salford council has been | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
provided with so far in terms of the Fulhamability and the fact that | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
these panels will be similar or the same to Grenfell, they have to take | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
urgent action. If at any point, and I've been vocal about this to the | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
council and to other providers, if at any point the Fire Authority | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
deems any buildings to be unsafe and that residents wouldn't be able to | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
be evacuated immediately in the event of a fire, the buildings | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
should be evacuated. What do you say to residents who've been many the | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
Towers? They are living in fear at the moment. I've had hundreds of | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
constituents contact my office over the last week asking me whether the | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
buildings they live in are safe and what we can do and what the council | :16:01. | :16:08. | |
can do. Are they going to be moved, have they asked? I haven't had | :16:09. | :16:17. | |
aniking to be moved but I would ask if I couldn't be reassured of | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
safety. I've asked for immediate, robust action. I'm not happy that | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
the process has been expedited enough by Government. I think the | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
process of an inquiry will take a long time. We need to make sure that | :16:29. | :16:43. | |
residents are safe now. There was a fire, a coroner's | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
REPORTER:Ed recommendations to the Government to retro fit sprinklers | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
in all high-rise blocks and to amend the building regular laces. The | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
Government needs to take urgent action. Any funding required would | :16:55. | :17:03. | |
be made available, it's been said so. There is your assurance isn't | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
it, so if that's the case that the money is there, if someone asked you | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
now, or said to you, I don't feel safe, I want to be moved, would you | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
move them? Yes. I understand Salford Council has been speaking to | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
residents who're burglarly vulnerable and potentially at -- | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
who're particularly vulnerable and potentially at risk and moving them | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
to temporary accommodation. Significant weight will be give | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
tonne the voice of residents. If they don't feel safe, yes, I think | :17:37. | :17:45. | |
provision should be put in place. In terms of Salford. I understand | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
vulnerable residents are being moved but because the Fire Authority has | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
stated that the buildings themselves are safe in the event of a fire | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
evacuation, they are not looking to decamp residents. I've said quite | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
strongly, and my views have been taken on board, that if at any point | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
during assessments over the next few days that the buildings are deemed | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
not to be safe, the residents should be decanted and given temporary | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
accommodation. I'm assured that is not the case at the moment. Thank | :18:15. | :18:16. | |
you very much. Let us take a look at the weather | :18:17. | :18:26. | |
for the weekend with Stav. Thank you. Starting with the | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
satellite, you can see there is a lot of cloud in the west, the | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
north-west, western Wales and southern counties. The best of the | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
sunshine in the Midlands and north-east England and north-east | :18:42. | :18:43. | |
Scotland. It's a mixture this weekend to start off with. For the | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
weekend, it's going to be a mixture of cloud, sunshine and showers. | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
Breezy and windy across the northern half. Much cooler than last weekend. | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
Here is the culprit for the windy weather in the northern half of | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
Scotland. There'll be gale force winds to the | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
northern half of Scotland. A few showers as well across western | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
parts of Scotland this morning. The odd one there for Northern Ireland. | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
Cloud across north-west England and western Wales and also southern | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
counties of England. Good sunshine through the Midlands and the | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
north-east. Could be some damp in Somerset first thing this morning. | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
Could be a bit damp in Glastonbury to begin with. Looks like this | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
afternoon should turn drier. We could see a bit of brightness in the | :19:35. | :19:42. | |
afternoon. That is the theme for much of the country, variable | :19:43. | :19:44. | |
amounts of cloud and sunshine. Here are some blustery showers are | :19:45. | :19:56. | |
the gales. Further south it will feel warm. 17-21. We could make 24, | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
25 across the south-east. This evening, it will be another fair hi | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
breezy one, variable cloud. It could Pep up to be thicker with patchy | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
rain across the higher ground. Blustery showers continuing across | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
the northern half of Scotland. The low pressure system continues to | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
pull towards Scandinavia, taking the winds with it. | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
Brighter skies slowly push south. Scotland, Northern Ireland into | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
northern gland, some sunshine, one or two showers. Further south, | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
thicker cloud and a few scattered showers here. Top temperature at | :20:37. | :20:45. | |
best 21 or 22, closer to the 18 mark. Fresher on Sunday. | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
It's that time of the morning where we have a look at the papers. | :20:51. | :21:01. | |
The former England cricketer Lisa Pearson is a head teacher and | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
director for the England an Wales Cricket Board. Good morning! | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
Morning. We'll talk to you in the morning, a few pieces have caught | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
your eye, but first the front-pages. The Daily Telegraph, the front-page | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
is taking a look at the risk to public buildings. So hospitals, | :21:18. | :21:24. | |
saying they're feared to be at risks of inferno. This is of course, as we | :21:25. | :21:32. | |
have been reporting today, Camden could civil, has evacuated 800 | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
homes. The Mirror devoted to the source of the fire in the first | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
place, a revelation that it was a fridge freezer. They are looking at | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
some of the testing that has been done over those items. The Times is | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
taking a look at the Manchester killer and how He got advice or | :21:48. | :21:55. | |
instructions to build a bomb. It's saying that web videos helped Salman | :21:56. | :22:06. | |
Abedi do that. Police being used more routinely in British policing, | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
which is a contentious issue. And the Daily Mail nodding to a book | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
about Camilla and her relationship with prince Charles. | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
We'll start with a story close to home with you, tell us about that? | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
This is an article about a head teacher who has been told off really | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
for spooking to the girls about wearing tight skirts or skirts that | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
are too tight. I think she was being self-deprecating, she was a 16 size, | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
she wanted to remind people to the degree of uniform regulations and | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
she's been hauled in saying she's a poor role model and she's been told | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
that girls should be able to dress in whatever they like. She was in an | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
assembly and said, I'm just going to quote to make it clear because it's | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
been proved controversial "I'm not a size 8-#10rks I wouldn't wear one", | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
the implication being that if you aren't then you shouldn't and it's | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
all about body shaming and the idea that perhaps girls could become even | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
more paranoid and concerned about size? Yes. I feel sorry for her | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
because she was trying to say, look, here are the regulations, and there | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
was a tendency to wear tighter fitting skirts. That is what she was | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
getting to. It's a sensitive topic and I totally understand that. I | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
think in our effort to say the right thing to girls, there can be an | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
oversensitivity about it and she was putting herself forward saying, | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
these are the choices and you have to be careful about the choices you | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
make. So I felt sorry for her. How does it work in your school? I'm | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
constantly fighting the short skirt battle and the top button collar | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
issue. I'm going off piste, but there was a story earlier this week | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
about boys told they couldn't wear shorts to school. It's been so hot. | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
So they said fine, we'll wear skirts. How would you have dealt | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
with that? I think our boys wearing skirts, I wouldn't have been | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
surprised if they turned up wearing that. The boys we are making a | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
point, it was in Exeter, and they've won their battle to be able to wear | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
shorts and of course now it's raining so maybe they'll have to | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
wear something else. Maybe they've become accustomed to it and will | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
keep it going. Tell us a bit about what this is about? Today sees the | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
start of the World Cup cricket Derby, between England and India. | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
This is an article about Charlotte Edwards. It's a year on, Charlotte | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
is the most successful England captain in cricket we have ever had. | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
Aier on, she was dismissed about a year ago and it was a little bit | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
difficult, but actually in this article she's sort of really, really | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
positive about the year she's had and saying actually she wouldn't now | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
want to be in that. She feels her life has moved on. I think it's a | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
lovely article talking about her commitment to girl's sport and she's | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
doing an awful lot of outreach work and support. She remains very much | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
an important part of cricket and is a fantastic ambassador. It's good to | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
see bad things happen, things don't work out the way you want but there | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
is life after that. It's always interesting talking to people who've | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
been at such a high level in sport who then leave that world and how | :25:25. | :25:33. | |
much thought do you get from your particular sport body, how much sup | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
important do you get? She's remained an ambassador, in the article she | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
talks about how being an England captain, though, she was in a bubble | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
and hadn't realised how stressful it was and now she's returned to a | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
better sense of herself. An elite athlete, you have to commit | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
everything and when you finish, it can be traumatic but Charlotte is | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
showing that there is life beyond and she can watch the flowers grow | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
in her garden and she wishes England well. What were you like when you | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
left sport? I was lucky. I was working at the same time, full-time, | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
and playing for England. That became difficult. The kids were a great | :26:14. | :26:20. | |
leveller. You could be playing in a world final and two days later you | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
are back in the classroom and the kids will be saying, Miss, you | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
haven't marked my books, what have you been doing, so you remain | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
grounded. I wonder, with your combined expertise about having | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
played elite sport and also being a head teacher, yours is a mixed | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
school, so is this kind of thing impacted on the girls at your school | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
in terms of getting them more interested in sport? Yes. Girls are | :26:48. | :26:54. | |
wanting to play more traditionally male orientated sports than ever | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
before, no doubt, so there is girls rugby, football, cricket, whereas | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
the more true fissional sports are disappearing. But, there is still a | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
real challenge around sufficient media coverage still of all the | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
sports. This is interesting because they're saying over the next few | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
years there are some huge tournaments, the World Cup, the | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
football tournament and women's Rugby World Cup. Then you have got | :27:20. | :27:28. | |
hockey and netball. It's an exciting time for young girls and it's a | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
challenge on a legacy, how do we ensure the girls are taking up these | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
sports. Have you heard of hobbyhorse show jumping? No! It's featuring on | :27:40. | :27:44. | |
the programme. Watch it later this morning, it's all about encouraging | :27:45. | :27:48. | |
girls to play sport. Interested to hear your opinion later on. | :27:49. | :27:54. | |
I'll look forward to it. Universities need to raise teaching | :27:55. | :27:57. | |
standards in order to flourish. You picked up this article, why? Because | :27:58. | :28:04. | |
the teacher framework within universities has come out. It's a | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
significant move where we often rank universities in a certain | :28:09. | :28:11. | |
perception, but with the fees going up and it looks like they will go up | :28:12. | :28:16. | |
further, I think something like LSE, which has had a hard time, has had | :28:17. | :28:20. | |
its bronze rating showing it's a good research university but it's a | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
teaching university, it's got a lot of work to do, it's a good way for | :28:25. | :28:28. | |
students considering university to reconsider where they will be best | :28:29. | :28:35. | |
spending their money. In about three minutes, the All Blacks kick off, | :28:36. | :28:38. | |
when you come back it will be half time. What will the score be? That's | :28:39. | :28:43. | |
mean! What will the score be? That would require me to understand how | :28:44. | :28:48. | |
the scoring system works. OK! But I reckon... Who is going to be | :28:49. | :28:52. | |
winning? I think the All Blacks will be. There you go. We'll test you in | :28:53. | :28:56. | |
an hour's time. Great! You thought it might be a pleasant morning. I | :28:57. | :29:03. | |
did. Never mind. This is all about hobbyhorse show jumping, coming up | :29:04. | :29:06. | |
in the next half hour. It began in Finland and it's coming on in leaps | :29:07. | :29:11. | |
and bounds in the UK and it's holding its inaugural national | :29:12. | :29:14. | |
Championships this weekend. Who else would we send along to try this out | :29:15. | :29:19. | |
but Mike and that's his trusty Steed Charlie. He's been giving it a go. | :29:20. | :29:21. | |
Headlines soon. Hello, this is Breakfast with | :29:22. | :30:32. | |
Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. Coming up before nine, Holly will be | :30:33. | :30:36. | |
here with the sport and Stav But first, a summary of this | :30:37. | :30:39. | |
morning's main news. Around 4,000 people were told | :30:40. | :30:44. | |
to evacuate their homes in Camden, North London last night due | :30:45. | :30:46. | |
to concerns about fire safety. The buildings are clad in similar | :30:47. | :30:49. | |
material to Grenfell Tower, where at least 79 people died | :30:50. | :30:51. | |
in a fire last week. Camden Council told people in five | :30:52. | :30:54. | |
towers on the Chalcots estate to move after the fire service | :30:55. | :30:57. | |
said their safety could not be guaranteed - which left some | :30:58. | :30:59. | |
residents feeling angry. I feel for my neighbours with | :31:00. | :31:14. | |
children and pets. Where have they gone? We recently saw some very | :31:15. | :31:20. | |
distressed neighbours. It is perhaps an overreaction, a knee jerk by the | :31:21. | :31:27. | |
council. Some people suggesting an overreaction, others are saying it | :31:28. | :31:30. | |
was appropriate. We will get details from the leader of Camden Council, | :31:31. | :31:34. | |
asking questions about why that decision was taken. | :31:35. | :31:38. | |
The leader of the House of Commons, Andrea Leadsom has said it would be | :31:39. | :31:41. | |
helpful if broadcasters "were willing to be a bit patriotic" | :31:42. | :31:44. | |
She made the comment while being questioned | :31:45. | :31:46. | |
by Newsnight's Emily Maitliss about the UK's position | :31:47. | :31:48. | |
We had various different EU politicians, the elected politicians | :31:49. | :31:53. | |
It would be helpful if broadcasters would be patriotic. | :31:54. | :32:08. | |
Are you accusing me of being unpatriotic | :32:09. | :32:14. | |
for questioning how negotiations are going? | :32:15. | :32:18. | |
We all need to pull together as a country. | :32:19. | :32:20. | |
We made a decision one year ago today | :32:21. | :32:22. | |
The outgoing leader of the Liberal Democrats, | :32:23. | :32:28. | |
Tim Farron, has described Andrea Leadsom's remarks | :32:29. | :32:30. | |
as "a sinister threat to the free media" - | :32:31. | :32:32. | |
More than 100 people are missing after a landslide | :32:33. | :32:36. | |
Around 40 homes were destroyed when the side of a mountain | :32:37. | :32:40. | |
A rescue operation is now taking place to try to locate the missing. | :32:41. | :32:48. | |
Katy Perry and the Foo Fighters will top the bill at Glastonbury today. | :32:49. | :32:52. | |
Last night, Radiohead took to the pyramid stage, | :32:53. | :32:56. | |
20 years after first being the headline | :32:57. | :32:57. | |
It's expected around 135,000 people will be | :32:58. | :33:00. | |
Sorry! Was that one of those moments when you felt a sneeze coming? It | :33:01. | :33:18. | |
was just there, I'm so sorry. Has this ever happened to you? I almost | :33:19. | :33:23. | |
always find they go away. It is something to do with live | :33:24. | :33:26. | |
broadcasting. A little bit of adrenaline. Someone told me to stare | :33:27. | :33:35. | |
into the light, to make you sneeze. We have a game kicking off, the All | :33:36. | :33:38. | |
Blacks against the British and Irish Lions. Right now there are these | :33:39. | :33:42. | |
preparations, including many people that don't know Rugby very well, | :33:43. | :33:52. | |
they will have seen the hakka? In case we were in any doubt of who | :33:53. | :33:56. | |
those people supported, just in case. Indicates the shirt wasn't | :33:57. | :34:05. | |
enough. It is happening in one minute. We have seen some of the | :34:06. | :34:11. | |
crowds out there, some people saying on Twitter even the All Blacks fans | :34:12. | :34:15. | |
were looking around them and going, look at all of the red shirts, it's | :34:16. | :34:19. | |
incredible. They are going to bring the haka, we will bring the face | :34:20. | :34:26. | |
paint! It is worth saying, as well, in these games it is more like a | :34:27. | :34:30. | |
religion, isn't it? The whole nation comes to a standstill. There were | :34:31. | :34:34. | |
some great interviews with children at the school. About 40 children | :34:35. | :34:39. | |
have ended up being in the All Blacks. They spoke to these kids and | :34:40. | :34:42. | |
said that is what inspires them, they want to be an All-black. A lot | :34:43. | :34:54. | |
of people are saying they're planning, in this country, to get | :34:55. | :34:58. | |
together in groups and watch it, it's a big event here? You can see | :34:59. | :35:04. | |
it on social media, everybody got up early in the morning to watch. You | :35:05. | :35:06. | |
can imagine the crowds at the moment. They have been following | :35:07. | :35:10. | |
them for the warm up matches, and they have been improved, so there is | :35:11. | :35:17. | |
a lot of excitement around it. We will bring you some pictures and | :35:18. | :35:21. | |
show you the atmosphere. The haka really is something else. We do have | :35:22. | :35:26. | |
big hopes. This is 23 years, the record that the All Blacks have | :35:27. | :35:32. | |
there. Unbroken! You're going to take us through the rest of the | :35:33. | :35:34. | |
sport? Yes. two Jason Roy became the first player | :35:35. | :35:38. | |
in international T20 cricket history to be given out for obstructing | :35:39. | :35:41. | |
the field, as England lost to South Africa by just | :35:42. | :35:45. | |
three runs at Taunton. England were cruising | :35:46. | :35:48. | |
towards their target of 175 when South Africa claimed Roy had | :35:49. | :35:54. | |
deliberately got in the way of a throw - | :35:55. | :35:56. | |
and he was dismissed. England needed a four | :35:57. | :35:58. | |
from the last ball - The series decider is | :35:59. | :36:01. | |
at Cardiff tomorrow. The women's Cricket World Cup starts | :36:02. | :36:03. | |
today, with the ICC hoping it'll be a turning point | :36:04. | :36:06. | |
for the women's game. England go into the tournament | :36:07. | :36:08. | |
on the back of some strong warm-up performances - | :36:09. | :36:11. | |
they take on India in the opening match in Derby, where a sell-out | :36:12. | :36:13. | |
crowd of three-thousand is expected. Here's our Sports | :36:14. | :36:16. | |
Correspondent Joe Wilson. In Derby, a group of professional | :36:17. | :36:21. | |
sportswomen prepare for a competition | :36:22. | :36:24. | |
which aims to be noticed They are England and England | :36:25. | :36:26. | |
is where it began. In 1973, Birmingham hosted the final | :36:27. | :36:30. | |
of the first-ever women's World Cup, won by England and these players | :36:31. | :36:35. | |
is basically had to pay to play. Had a year into her captaincy. -- | :36:36. | :36:53. | |
Heather Knight is a year into her captaincy. | :36:54. | :36:54. | |
First game against India, the winning nation this | :36:55. | :36:56. | |
Something the players will think about? | :36:57. | :37:01. | |
It is a nice touch by the ICC to show where the women's game | :37:02. | :37:05. | |
I think it is a good statement by them, but in terms | :37:06. | :37:11. | |
of practicalities it doesn't change it. | :37:12. | :37:13. | |
Globally, the key is to unlock the potential of India. | :37:14. | :37:15. | |
Signs of progress - well, there was a kit | :37:16. | :37:23. | |
launch featuring women's players alongside the men. | :37:24. | :37:25. | |
India's women have never won the World Cup and are outsiders | :37:26. | :37:28. | |
But victory would speed up the quality. | :37:29. | :37:33. | |
This is a stage where most of the matches are televised | :37:34. | :37:37. | |
and broadcast and it increases the viewership and, | :37:38. | :37:39. | |
you know, India is a country where cricket is a religion. | :37:40. | :37:49. | |
Boys in state schools in England and Wales still get more opportunity | :37:50. | :37:52. | |
Inspiration often comes from the top. | :37:53. | :37:56. | |
The World Cup, the opening batter will miss this match through injury. | :37:57. | :37:58. | |
British men's tennis number three Dan Evans said he'd let | :37:59. | :38:08. | |
a lot of people down, after being provisionally suspended | :38:09. | :38:10. | |
He'll miss Wimbledon, of course, but he could be banned | :38:11. | :38:15. | |
I was notified a few days ago that I'd failed a drugs test in April, | :38:16. | :38:26. | |
where I tested positive for cocaine. This was taken out of competition | :38:27. | :38:30. | |
and the context was completely unrelated to tennis. I made a | :38:31. | :38:33. | |
mistake and I must face up to it. I do not condone or one second to | :38:34. | :38:37. | |
anyone that this was acceptable behaviour. I've let a lot of people | :38:38. | :38:42. | |
down, my family, my coach, my team, sponsors and the British tennis and | :38:43. | :38:47. | |
my fans. I can only deeply apologise, from the bottom of my | :38:48. | :38:48. | |
heart. We are going to talk about the | :38:49. | :38:58. | |
rugby, it is finally under way. The British and Irish Lions first test | :38:59. | :39:01. | |
against New Zealand in Auckland. It has been captained by Peter | :39:02. | :39:07. | |
O'Mahony. They are hoping to end the All Blacks formidable record. They | :39:08. | :39:11. | |
haven't lost at Eden Park for 23 years. It will not be easy for them. | :39:12. | :39:16. | |
They have had sex warm up games, four victories. We're hoping the | :39:17. | :39:20. | |
recent performance, two wins in the last few days, will continue on. As | :39:21. | :39:26. | |
they run out, this is extraordinary, the stadium. The All Blacks, it is | :39:27. | :39:31. | |
worth repeating, they have not lost their 423 years. 23 years, just | :39:32. | :39:38. | |
incredible. 1994, France. Even in that game, it was the last try in | :39:39. | :39:41. | |
the last few minutes. They are a force to be reckoned with. We will | :39:42. | :39:45. | |
keep you updated on what happens there. It is going to be quite some | :39:46. | :39:47. | |
occasion. Watching. Since it started in Finland, | :39:48. | :39:53. | |
it's proved to be hugely successful at getting girls active | :39:54. | :39:55. | |
for the first time. Now hobby horse show jumping | :39:56. | :39:57. | |
has arrived in the UK. Ahead of this weekend's inaugural | :39:58. | :40:03. | |
national championships we sent Mike along for a canter | :40:04. | :40:05. | |
round the course. It's the stuff of dreams | :40:06. | :40:15. | |
for seven-year-old Olivia. Her imagination | :40:16. | :40:28. | |
running free in a real showjumping ring as she races | :40:29. | :40:30. | |
against the clock, hoping for a clear round ahead | :40:31. | :40:32. | |
of the inaugural I like jumping because | :40:33. | :40:34. | |
you can go as high as you want and I find | :40:35. | :40:37. | |
that really cool. Here we have Mike riding | :40:38. | :40:43. | |
Breakfast Charlie. For those of us who cannot | :40:44. | :40:45. | |
afford a horse or have been challenged by lack of riding | :40:46. | :40:54. | |
ability, this is an ideal way of experiencing | :40:55. | :40:57. | |
a showjumping competition. It is my first one ever, | :40:58. | :41:01. | |
and I am being put through my paces. It is all about the angles | :41:02. | :41:05. | |
and getting as tight as you can The fences may not be huge, | :41:06. | :41:08. | |
but in heat, in the summer it is certainly | :41:09. | :41:13. | |
a physical challenge. And try telling 5-year-old Eli | :41:14. | :41:16. | |
that this is somewhat silly. He did not know when he was beaten | :41:17. | :41:23. | |
and had the stamina to keep going. He was glowing with pride | :41:24. | :41:27. | |
when he eventually finished, especially because he had | :41:28. | :41:30. | |
made his own horse. Small kids can have a go | :41:31. | :41:34. | |
and also the big kids. And not everybody has an opportunity | :41:35. | :41:50. | |
to be around a horse They are far less work | :41:51. | :41:58. | |
compared to a real horse And less time involved | :41:59. | :42:02. | |
on the training side, It all began in Finland | :42:03. | :42:05. | |
to encourage girls, mainly in the inner city, to get | :42:06. | :42:08. | |
more active in equestrian sport. Now tens of thousands turn | :42:09. | :42:11. | |
up for competitions. Their story is told | :42:12. | :42:13. | |
in a new movie, The Hobbyhorse Revolution, which reflects | :42:14. | :42:17. | |
the height of the fences now and shows how competitive | :42:18. | :42:19. | |
it has become. While for the show in | :42:20. | :42:26. | |
Berkshire, the first national championship was the answer | :42:27. | :42:29. | |
when they could not show real horse The Olympics did great | :42:30. | :42:32. | |
work for us and I think If we can bring more | :42:33. | :42:37. | |
people into the game, You can see what it | :42:38. | :42:41. | |
feels like when the horse jumps so you have that | :42:42. | :42:45. | |
feel, the excitement. But it's the jumping | :42:46. | :42:52. | |
that has most newcomers An extraordinary event, no escaping | :42:53. | :43:16. | |
that. We will have the weather for you shortly, and a full look at the | :43:17. | :43:21. | |
newspapers coming up later. Let's bring you back to the main story | :43:22. | :43:23. | |
this morning. 4000 people were asked | :43:24. | :43:24. | |
to evacuate their homes in Camden overnight after the leader | :43:25. | :43:28. | |
of the Council, Georgia Gould, said that their safety | :43:29. | :43:31. | |
could not be guaranteed. And Georgia Gould joins us now from | :43:32. | :43:33. | |
the Swiss Cottage Leisure Centre in Camden where some residents spent | :43:34. | :43:35. | |
the night. Thank you for your time this | :43:36. | :43:44. | |
morning. I wonder if you could update us on the number of people | :43:45. | :43:46. | |
that have been evacuated from the tower blocks? So, we've had a huge | :43:47. | :43:54. | |
effort overnight to evacuate people. We had 650 households that have | :43:55. | :44:01. | |
moved out of the tower blocks. We have had everyone, council staff, | :44:02. | :44:04. | |
volunteers, different councillors, all coming together with the fire | :44:05. | :44:09. | |
service to move people safely out of their accommodation. I've heard | :44:10. | :44:14. | |
accounts from some individuals that say they are going to stay in their | :44:15. | :44:18. | |
homes. Have they been told they have to to evacuate or have they been | :44:19. | :44:24. | |
requested to do so? We have 83 people that chose last night to stay | :44:25. | :44:28. | |
in the property. We did have the fire service is going to talk to | :44:29. | :44:33. | |
those people, explaining the risk. They chose to stay overnight. We are | :44:34. | :44:37. | |
going to start knocking on doors again this morning and telling | :44:38. | :44:39. | |
people it is not safe to stay in those buildings and that is the | :44:40. | :44:42. | |
advice of the fire service. We are going to be moving them into | :44:43. | :44:45. | |
accommodation. But the council position is that this is a voluntary | :44:46. | :44:49. | |
arrangement? You are not going to force people to leave, correct? We | :44:50. | :44:55. | |
have voluntarily evacuated those buildings. That was on the basis of | :44:56. | :44:59. | |
advice I had from the fire services yesterday, I met them at 5pm and | :45:00. | :45:04. | |
they told me it was not safe to stay in those buildings. Obviously the | :45:05. | :45:07. | |
last thing I wanted to do was cause this huge distress, moving people | :45:08. | :45:12. | |
out of their homes. I asked if there was anything we could do, we could | :45:13. | :45:17. | |
put in place fire stations outside the buildings, but they said there | :45:18. | :45:20. | |
was nothing we could do to secure the building overnight and that it | :45:21. | :45:23. | |
was not safe. We asked people to move. If people, after things are | :45:24. | :45:29. | |
explained today, are still not moving, it would become a matter for | :45:30. | :45:34. | |
the fire services. Could you take us through some of the specifics on the | :45:35. | :45:39. | |
reasons for evacuating people? We spoke to Sajid Javid earlier this | :45:40. | :45:41. | |
morning and he talked about multiple other failings. That is aside from | :45:42. | :45:46. | |
the issue of the cladding. Could you take us through what the elements | :45:47. | :45:50. | |
are that lead to you making the decision to evacuate, as opposed to | :45:51. | :45:54. | |
leaving people in while you change the padding? We reacted very swiftly | :45:55. | :46:03. | |
to test blocks following the tragedy in Grenfell. We were the first of | :46:04. | :46:07. | |
the testing centres with the cladding. The results were not what | :46:08. | :46:11. | |
we expected. We found the installation was safe, but the | :46:12. | :46:14. | |
external cladding was combustible material, which is not what we have | :46:15. | :46:19. | |
commissioned. Obviously that was deeply disappointing. We immediately | :46:20. | :46:23. | |
shared that with residents and we held a public meeting on Thursday | :46:24. | :46:27. | |
evening. At that time, our message was that we still believed the box | :46:28. | :46:31. | |
to be safe, because of the insulation. But residents at that | :46:32. | :46:35. | |
meeting raised a number of concerns around fire safety. We asked the | :46:36. | :46:38. | |
fire services to come in and they did the checks on the box all day | :46:39. | :46:45. | |
and identified a number of issues around insulation, around gas pipes | :46:46. | :46:49. | |
going into flats, around fire doors. The message to me was that the | :46:50. | :46:53. | |
combination of the flammable external cladding and these issues | :46:54. | :46:57. | |
inside the block meant that the building was safe. A lot of people, | :46:58. | :47:01. | |
as you mentioned, people have been saying to us that they are praising | :47:02. | :47:05. | |
the Council for the swift response. It remains the case, though, that | :47:06. | :47:08. | |
these people had been living in a building, or a number of buildings, | :47:09. | :47:14. | |
that they should never have been in? I mean, it raises huge questions for | :47:15. | :47:20. | |
us and we are going to investigate every element. Questions for us | :47:21. | :47:24. | |
locally, nationally about fire regulation. I think post-Grenfell we | :47:25. | :47:28. | |
are in a completely different situation and we have to ask all of | :47:29. | :47:31. | |
these questions. Right now, my number one priority is to get | :47:32. | :47:35. | |
residents securely out of the building, to get them into secure | :47:36. | :47:38. | |
temporary accommodation and do the work we need to do to make the | :47:39. | :47:41. | |
buildings safe. You made the decision yourself. Have you got | :47:42. | :47:46. | |
reassurances from central government about costing? Have you asked if the | :47:47. | :47:50. | |
money will be provided, firstly to do the work and second to | :47:51. | :47:55. | |
housestyles many families? We have acted as swiftly as we possibly can. | :47:56. | :48:00. | |
We booked hotel rooms ourselves, we are working with student halls, with | :48:01. | :48:03. | |
other boroughs around temporary accommodation. We are not stopping | :48:04. | :48:09. | |
and waiting for anyone. We just have to get on and move people safely | :48:10. | :48:13. | |
because it is distressing enough. We have been here all night talking to | :48:14. | :48:17. | |
people that have been asked to leave their homes on a Friday evening, at | :48:18. | :48:22. | |
such short notice. That is deeply, deeply upsetting. I think the number | :48:23. | :48:26. | |
one concern is to move those people safely into accommodation and we are | :48:27. | :48:30. | |
not worrying about money at the moment. Obviously we will be having | :48:31. | :48:34. | |
conversations with central government later on. We are taking | :48:35. | :48:40. | |
legal advice around some of the contracts around the cladding. Right | :48:41. | :48:44. | |
now, the only thing that is our priority is to move people swiftly | :48:45. | :48:49. | |
into secure accommodation. If I could just go back to the issue we | :48:50. | :48:53. | |
were talking about a moment ago, I understand a lot of this is | :48:54. | :48:56. | |
unprecedented in terms of how you reacted and how this is handled. I | :48:57. | :49:00. | |
was left slightly confused, those people that want to remain in the | :49:01. | :49:06. | |
tower blocks, and you said there are 83 people, currently, can you just | :49:07. | :49:11. | |
clarify, if, after a conversation today, they say they still want to | :49:12. | :49:16. | |
remain, will they be ordered to leave the buildings? Is that the | :49:17. | :49:23. | |
point we are reaching? I need to clarify two things. There is one | :49:24. | :49:29. | |
tower block, Blashford, that we worked on overnight and we believe | :49:30. | :49:34. | |
to be safe. It is the smallest tower block and there were far less works | :49:35. | :49:37. | |
identified by the fire services. We said to the residents in that block | :49:38. | :49:41. | |
that they can stay there. We were saying to other people that they can | :49:42. | :49:44. | |
go home, in that one particular building. Other four, we expect the | :49:45. | :49:51. | |
way to take between two and four weeks. We are doing everything to | :49:52. | :49:54. | |
make that happen as quickly as possible. For the people in those | :49:55. | :49:58. | |
blocks, our firm advice is that they need to move out of those blocks | :49:59. | :50:02. | |
because they are not safe. If they absolutely refuse to, we have to | :50:03. | :50:06. | |
discuss that with the fire services. The decision as to whether they | :50:07. | :50:09. | |
would literally be forced to move from their homes, that would be one | :50:10. | :50:14. | |
that you make or is that decision made by the fire service? I think at | :50:15. | :50:17. | |
that point we would have to request support from the fire services. At | :50:18. | :50:26. | |
that point, they would be obliged to move? I know you haven't reached | :50:27. | :50:29. | |
that point yet, but we have spoken to some people that say they want to | :50:30. | :50:32. | |
stay and don't see why they have to leave. Last night, it was late, some | :50:33. | :50:41. | |
people... You know, in any normal circumstances we are always open and | :50:42. | :50:45. | |
transparent. We discuss this with people, we explained our concerns. | :50:46. | :50:51. | |
We were told this at 5pm. We had to move swiftly to guarantee people's | :50:52. | :50:55. | |
safety. It was late in the middle of the night, we were asking people to | :50:56. | :50:58. | |
come out of their homes. That was a huge amount of distress. Being cried | :50:59. | :51:04. | |
on, shouted at, everything, people are very distressed. In the morning, | :51:05. | :51:09. | |
we will have the fire services in the box, talking to those people, | :51:10. | :51:12. | |
talking to them about temporary accommodation. I hope we can have a | :51:13. | :51:15. | |
real conversation. Their strong advice to us is that the blog is not | :51:16. | :51:20. | |
safe. There is going to be a public inquiry. You were alluding to your | :51:21. | :51:24. | |
own inquiries that will be happening before that. People are saying they | :51:25. | :51:29. | |
want answers quickly. Can you tell us a little bit more about your own | :51:30. | :51:34. | |
investigations? Yes, over the next couple of weeks our absolute | :51:35. | :51:40. | |
priority is to be having people securely accommodated and then | :51:41. | :51:44. | |
moving them back into those blocks when we've do not work. Moving all | :51:45. | :51:48. | |
resources to do the work as quickly as possible. We know we want to get | :51:49. | :51:52. | |
home. After that, we need to do a review of everything. How we work, | :51:53. | :51:58. | |
with PFI contracts, which is what the block was, fire safety, every | :51:59. | :52:02. | |
element of this. We stand ready to work with the fire services, to work | :52:03. | :52:06. | |
with national government, to do that review. But we have a lot of | :52:07. | :52:09. | |
questions. Georgia Gould, thank you very much for your time. That was | :52:10. | :52:14. | |
the leader of Camden Council, following the decision to evacuate | :52:15. | :52:15. | |
the tower blocks. Four million homes now | :52:16. | :52:19. | |
use smart meters - devices that are meant to give us | :52:20. | :52:21. | |
more control on how much gas We will be talking about this | :52:22. | :52:35. | |
shortly with Paul Lewis from Money Box. | :52:36. | :52:43. | |
Not too bad this weekend. There is sunshine around. Weather watchers | :52:44. | :52:49. | |
have been out and about taking photos of the blue sky. It will not | :52:50. | :52:53. | |
be as blue and hot as it was last weekend. Still a lot of usable | :52:54. | :52:56. | |
whether to be had both today and tomorrow. Quite a lot of cloud | :52:57. | :53:00. | |
across southern areas and into was the West, sunshine across central | :53:01. | :53:03. | |
and eastern areas. That is how it is going to be into the afternoon as | :53:04. | :53:07. | |
well. The wind is coming from the West and we have shelter to the | :53:08. | :53:10. | |
east. The low pressure will bring quite a windy day to the Northern | :53:11. | :53:14. | |
Isles of Scotland, with gales developing across the north of the | :53:15. | :53:19. | |
Highlands. A little bit of cloud, or two showers. In Southern counties, | :53:20. | :53:30. | |
we have a West weather front, producing outbreaks of live and | :53:31. | :53:34. | |
patchy rain. It could be a damp start in Glastonbury this morning. | :53:35. | :53:41. | |
Temperatures between 18 and 20 degrees. Through the afternoon, I | :53:42. | :53:47. | |
think it is an improving picture. The best of the sunshine is to the | :53:48. | :53:50. | |
east of the high ground, the east of Wales and into the south-east, | :53:51. | :53:54. | |
spells of sunshine. Gales, unseasonably windy across Scotland | :53:55. | :53:59. | |
this afternoon. Quite a warm feeling. Even where you have the | :54:00. | :54:05. | |
cloud. Particularly in the south-east, we are looking at 2425 | :54:06. | :54:09. | |
degrees. A fine end to the day. AQ showers across the south-east which | :54:10. | :54:12. | |
will clear away. Through the night, it looks like we could see cloud | :54:13. | :54:17. | |
back western areas and across western hills, blustery showers | :54:18. | :54:20. | |
again for the northern half of Scotland and the northern Isles. | :54:21. | :54:23. | |
That is because this area of low pressure will be slowly moving away. | :54:24. | :54:29. | |
More north-westerly wind and it will introduce slightly fresher air. What | :54:30. | :54:31. | |
that will also do is introduce brighter skies to the North, for | :54:32. | :54:38. | |
Scotland, Northern Ireland. Some good spells of sunshine. Further | :54:39. | :54:42. | |
south, it will be cloudier. A few spots of rain. Top temperatures 2122 | :54:43. | :54:47. | |
and a cooler, fresher feel further north and west. A next weekend. | :54:48. | :54:51. | |
There is some good sunshine out there. | :54:52. | :54:58. | |
We were talking about smart meters earlier. They are expected to give | :54:59. | :55:04. | |
us more control over how much electricity we use. The Government | :55:05. | :55:08. | |
wants every home to have won by 2020. There are concerns that the | :55:09. | :55:11. | |
robot programmes running behind schedule. Although this is from | :55:12. | :55:18. | |
Radio 4 Money Box. What issues are you looking at? Smart meters are | :55:19. | :55:22. | |
supposed to put you more in control. You have a display in your home | :55:23. | :55:25. | |
showing you how much you are using in pounds and pence. That is | :55:26. | :55:29. | |
supposed to help us reduce the amount we use and save money. It | :55:30. | :55:33. | |
also means you should get accurate bills, rather than estimated bills. | :55:34. | :55:38. | |
There was concern this week when, to everyone's surprise, the Government | :55:39. | :55:41. | |
announced it will take longer powers to oversee this scheme, the powers | :55:42. | :55:47. | |
for the government to intervene were going to end next year. Now they are | :55:48. | :55:51. | |
going to be extended to 2023. There is some fear that the energy | :55:52. | :55:57. | |
industry is not going to meet its target of getting everyone a smart | :55:58. | :56:04. | |
meter by 2020. How necessary is it to have them? Well, the Government | :56:05. | :56:08. | |
insists it is a necessary thing. It will help save money, it will save | :56:09. | :56:12. | |
the industry money. One big problem is that the meters that are | :56:13. | :56:17. | |
currently being fitted and will be fitted until the end of this year, | :56:18. | :56:20. | |
they stop you doing the other thing the Government says we should do, | :56:21. | :56:24. | |
which is switching supplier. These smart meters will not work with a | :56:25. | :56:30. | |
different supplier. Once you have got one, if you switch supplier, | :56:31. | :56:40. | |
your meter will go dumb, in almost every case. So there is a | :56:41. | :56:44. | |
disadvantage in terms of getting the best deal, but has not been | :56:45. | :56:47. | |
trumpeted by the Government. It doesn't seem amazingly thought out. | :56:48. | :56:53. | |
It doesn't seem my people will be jumping on the bandwagon? Everybody | :56:54. | :56:57. | |
has been offered one, I am sure the viewers have been offered them by | :56:58. | :57:00. | |
the energy company. If you say yes, you will get one. You don't have to | :57:01. | :57:04. | |
have one at the moment. My view, myself, is that if I was to have one | :57:05. | :57:11. | |
I would wait until the new version, sometime later this year or early | :57:12. | :57:15. | |
next year, so you can still switch supplier. The whole programme is | :57:16. | :57:19. | |
costing at least ?11 billion. At the moment, as you say, there are real | :57:20. | :57:24. | |
problems. Problems with who is in charge, is it the government | :57:25. | :57:29. | |
department, Energy UK, individual suppliers, Smart Meters Gb, which is | :57:30. | :57:36. | |
responsible for promoting it? We are talking about England, Scotland and | :57:37. | :57:39. | |
Wales, not Northern Ireland, which decided not to take part in this. | :57:40. | :57:48. | |
How smart are they? Do they use mobile phone data? The current | :57:49. | :57:52. | |
generation do, which means not everybody can have one because some | :57:53. | :57:56. | |
people don't have adequate mobile phone coverage. That is why each | :57:57. | :58:00. | |
supplier uses a mobile phone system and you cannot switch supplier. The | :58:01. | :58:04. | |
new meters that are due out later this year, maybe early next year, | :58:05. | :58:07. | |
they use a specially built communications network which, | :58:08. | :58:12. | |
incidentally, cost ?3 billion. That has been switched on and is not | :58:13. | :58:15. | |
being used except for testing. They will send this data back over the | :58:16. | :58:20. | |
special communications network. 99% of homes in the country will be able | :58:21. | :58:27. | |
to use it. That is supposed to be secure. GCHQ, the government | :58:28. | :58:33. | |
communications network, have been involved in designing it. We believe | :58:34. | :58:37. | |
it will be secure. There are concerns about security, there are | :58:38. | :58:41. | |
concerns about hacking and there are concerns that, really, we will not | :58:42. | :58:45. | |
make the savings to match the cost of ?11 billion. Least this should | :58:46. | :58:52. | |
end estimated bills? The toing and froing you have an energy suppliers? | :58:53. | :58:57. | |
Yes, that is one of the big advantages. The energy company knows | :58:58. | :59:02. | |
how much you have used every half-hour, if you let it. It can | :59:03. | :59:06. | |
send an accurate bill, like they used to every quarter, and you can | :59:07. | :59:09. | |
pay that off. The disadvantage for some people is that it means in the | :59:10. | :59:13. | |
winter, your bills will be much bigger than in the summer. People do | :59:14. | :59:16. | |
like spreading it out. I suspect some people will want to carry on | :59:17. | :59:20. | |
with estimated bills. Yes, accurate bills are one of the selling points | :59:21. | :59:23. | |
of the new system and that should work. Some people are already | :59:24. | :59:29. | |
getting the accurate bills. 4 million households, as you | :59:30. | :59:33. | |
mentioned, there is about 24 million households to go, I think. There is | :59:34. | :59:39. | |
a big task to fit the meters. At the moment, they have been fitted at a | :59:40. | :59:45. | |
rate of about 1 million every three months, that have to do with Drupal | :59:46. | :59:49. | |
to meet the target by 2020. That is why there is some scepticism the | :59:50. | :59:54. | |
industry will meet it. Thank you very much. Always lots of numbers. | :59:55. | :59:58. | |
Very well explained. Thank you very much. | :59:59. | :00:02. | |
Hello this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. | :00:03. | :00:41. | |
Thousands of people are told to leave their homes as high rise | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
blocks in north London are evacuated over fire safety fears. | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
Concerns were raised over cladding and gas pipe insulation. | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
The council has called it an "unprecedented operation". | :00:49. | :00:57. | |
Post-Grenfell we are in a completely different situation and we are going | :00:58. | :01:04. | |
to have to ask questions. My number one priority is to get residents | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
out, get them into temporary accommodation and to do the works to | :01:08. | :01:18. | |
make the buildings safe. 83 people have refused to move. Some residents | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
spent the night in local hotels on air beds in local leisure centres. | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
The council need to be seen to be doing something, | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
this is a knee-jerk reaction from them | :01:36. | :01:36. | |
Tower blocks on 14 estates have now failed fire safety tests | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
Earlier the Communities Secretary, Sajid Javid, told Breakfast that | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
money will be made available to councils that need it. | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
They have to do whatever it takes to get their buildings safe and any | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
necessary works they do, if they need support from the Government, we | :01:57. | :01:57. | |
can work with them. Good morning it's | :01:58. | :02:11. | |
Saturday 24th June. The Leader of the Commons, | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
Andrea Leadsom, tells broadcasters they should be more "patriotic" | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
in their coverage of Brexit talks. Morning, it's advantage All Blacks. | :02:19. | :02:33. | |
The world champions are already 10-0 ahead at Eden Park where they | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
haven't been beaten for 23 years. And 20 years since their first | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
headline set, we'll get reaction after Radiohead played | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
the Pyramid Stage on the opening Good morning. Big difference in the | :02:45. | :02:58. | |
weekend this weekend to last weekend. Fresher this weekend, very | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
windy in the north. Details in 15 minutes. | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
Around 4,000 people were told to evacuate their homes in Camden, | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
North London last night due to concerns about fire safety. | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
Camden Council told people in five towers on the Chalcots estate | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
to move after the fire service said their safety | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
650 properties have been evacuated. 83 people refused to leave. One | :03:20. | :03:36. | |
tower cleared as safe. Here is Nick Quraishi | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
with the details. The message from | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
Camden Council as 4000 residents were told to leave | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
their homes late on Friday night. Individuals are not being forced | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
to leave, they are being told to leave for their own safety | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
and it's up to them I intend to stay put and go | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
back in there tonight. I think it is a knee-jerk | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
reaction from the In the aftermath of Grenfell Tower, | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
cladding here had been ruled unsafe. Concerns have also been | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
raised about fire doors Any area which was not completely | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
to the best standards was a deep concern given | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
the combination and that was the message from the | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
fire services today. The issue is a | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
combination of the two factors that is why we have taken | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
the action we have taken tonight. At the leisure centre, | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
air beds was assembled to cater It will take up to four weeks | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
to remove the external cladding and during that time, | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
people are being urged to stay with family and friends | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
or in hotels. Camden Council has already secured | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
270 rooms in London and has spent Some residents said the first | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
they knew was on the news. Children, families, babies, | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
they have nowhere to go. And I just think they left | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
everything too late This time of night, | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
it is half past one now, Grenfell Tower was destroyed | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
from the bottom to the top. We now know the fire started | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
in a kitchen in a lower floor. Police have also confirmed | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
what eyewitnesses said - the origin of the inferno | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
was a Hotpoint fridge freezer. 14 buildings in nine areas | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
of England are now known to have Ten days on from the worst fires | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
since World War Two, the shadow looms large | :05:23. | :05:31. | |
over social housing. Earlier on Breakfast, | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
the Communities Secretary, Sajid Javid, told us that councils | :05:39. | :05:39. | |
would get financial support Our position has been very clear on | :05:40. | :05:49. | |
this. Public safety is absolutely paramount. You cannot put a price on | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
people's lives. They're priceless. So local authorities, they have to | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
do whatever it takes to get their buildings safe and any necessary | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
works they do, if they need support from the Government, we can work | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
with them, absolutely. I'm trying to work out who they means, you are | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
saying you will work with them. Is that a pledge that all that money | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
will be found centrally or not? If there is a local authority and | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
Housing Associations, let's not forget them, they own many of the | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
tower blocks, if they need funtial support, not all will need it, but | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
if they need funtial support, we'll work with them to make sure that | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
they have the resources they need to do this necessary work, absolutely, | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
that will not be put at risk. We can speak now to Catriona Renton | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
who is outside the Swiss Cottage Leisure Centre in Camden where some | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
residents spent the night. More information emerging? That is | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
right. In the last few minutes, we have been hearing from the leader of | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
the council. We know over 600 households moved out of their homes | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
as a result of the evacuation and we have heard that 83 households stayed | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
put in their homes, they were persuaded and encouraged by the Fire | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
Service and the council to move out, but they decided not to. We have | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
heard from the council lead they're the Fire Service will go back and | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
ask and speak to those families again. I've seen people coming here | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
all night and these people are still arriving to get support, to get | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
register and then hopefully to get moved on to other accommodation. The | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
council's found a number of hotel rooms and we have seen people again | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
throughout the night and morning being taken away from here in taxis | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
to hotels around the city of London. Now, some people, according to one | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
of the councillors who has been in the area this morning, have been | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
offered some accommodation, but apparently it's too far away from | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
family and friends for them to go to, so it's a fluid situation here | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
at the moment. We are still seeing people arriving. We have heard some | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
stories over the night of families not really knowing what to do, some | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
having their doors knocked at 2, 2. 30 am, with young children and | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
leaving their properties then, coming here to seek some refuge. Of | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
course, people now waking up as well, people that did manage to get | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
some sleep here, have also moved out. We had that update from the | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
council leader, councillor Georgia Gould, just 15 minutes ago. It | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
raises huge questions for us and we are going to be having to | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
investigate every element. I mean questions for us locally and | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
nationally about fire regulation, look, I think post-Grenfell we are | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
in a completely different situation and we are going to have to ask all | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
of the questions. My number one priority is to get residents | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
securely out, into secure temporary accommodation and to do the works to | :08:39. | :08:46. | |
make the buildings safe. We have seen angry scenes this morning. | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
Councillor Gould left the interview and some residents confronted her. | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
One woman we spoke to earlier asked her, why had we been told everything | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
was safe yesterday afternoon and then yesterday evening being told | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
the property was unsafe and she had to get out. Of course, this will | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
develop throughout the day. We have been hearing people's individual | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
stories as they try to find accommodation, try to find places to | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
stay while this work is carried out. As councillor Gould has said, she | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
thinks this could take three to four weeks but teams are working on it | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
now. She said this was something the council had to do. To clarify the | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
figures, the council confirming 650 households have been evacuated. 83 | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
people right now who've refused to leave and in terms of what happens | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
next they are saying they are going to send in council officials | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
aloaning with the Fire Service to try to encourage those people to | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
leave, as to whether they'll be forced to leave at a later stage, | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
she said that is the decision they'll come to. They're hoping to | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
persuade people voluntarily to leave the buildings. That is the update in | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
terms of the Camden council leader. The leader of the House of Commons, | :09:58. | :10:05. | |
Andrea Leadsom has said it would be helpful if broadcasters | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
"were willing to be a bit patriotic" She made the comment | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
while being questioned by Newsnight's Emily Maitliss | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
about the UK's position We had various different EU | :10:16. | :10:26. | |
politicians, the elected politicians saying it's a good start. Of course, | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
it's very early days. It's been a year... It would be helpful if | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
broadcasters were willing to be a bit patriotic. The country took a | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
decision. This Government... Sorry, it's unpatriotic? Are you accusing | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
me of being unpatriotic for questioning how negotiations are | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
going? We all need to pull together as a country. We took a decision a | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
year ago today to leave the European Union. The outgoing leader of the | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
Liberal Democrats, Tim Farron described Andrea Leadsom's remarks | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
as a threat to the free media and suggested she should apologise. | :11:07. | :11:14. | |
More than 100 people are missing after a landslide | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
Around 40 homes were destroyed when the side of a mountain | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
A rescue operation is now taking place to try to locate the missing. | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
Radiohead topped the bill on the opening night of Glastonbury, | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
20 years after one of their most famous performances at the festival. | :11:28. | :11:29. | |
Today will see Katy Perry and the Foo Fighters take | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
Our Entertainment Correspondent Lizo Mzimba is there. | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
A warning, his reports contains flashing images. | :11:36. | :11:36. | |
For thousands of fans, Radiohead really are so very special. | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
Receiving a rapturous reception in front of a packed Pyramid stage. | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
This was the musical climax to a day that featured a few unexpected | :11:49. | :12:00. | |
Earlier, Kris Kristofferson was accompanied on stage | :12:01. | :12:14. | |
Watching them, another Hollywood star, Brad Pitt. | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
And one more famous face admitted that this was set | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
Yeah, 42 years old and it is my first festival. | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
Slightly nervous because I don't know what to expect but, obviously, | :12:32. | :12:39. | |
apart from the great acts and people having fun. | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
Later today, names who will make an appearance on the main | :12:43. | :12:52. | |
stage include Katy Perry, Foo Fighters and Labour Party | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
Thousands of people living in 600 high-rise buildings across England | :12:57. | :13:12. | |
are waiting to find out if their homes are covered | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
in combustible cladding, as urgent tests are being carried | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
out following the Grenfell Tower Fire. | :13:18. | :13:19. | |
?? NEWSUB Let us have a look at one or two stories in the papers. | :13:20. | :13:29. | |
This is what the Daily Telegraph is taking a look at this morning, | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
saying that hospital buildings are being subjected to urgent fire | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
safety tests over fears that some may be covered in flammable | :13:37. | :13:44. | |
cladding. That is last night. It says schools, universities, offices | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
public buildings being checked for panels that may be a fire risk. | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
Sajid Javid reiterating that all money necessary will be found | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
centrally by central Government, this morning. The Mirror, this is | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
the image in connection with what the cause of the fire was. We know | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
it to be a fridge freezer now according to the Fire Services. Many | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
question marks now, both about the arrangements within the building | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
itself and the lack of fire safety arrangements. Also now, of course, | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
those questions being asked much more widely in many other parts of | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
the UK as local authorities look at the tower buildings they have. | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
We know 14 blocks in nine areas have been identified as dangerous. We can | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
talk to our guest again from Camden where people have been evacuated | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
from their homes overnight as we have been talking about. Arnold, | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
thank you very much for talking to us. Yesterday when we spoke to you, | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
you joined us on the sofa and you were very concerned about the | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
process and the safety of people in light of the dangers of some of this | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
cladding. Do you feel that the right action's been taken this morn | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
something -- this morning? Yes, I to. I was saying from day one, if | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
you had buildings built like Grenfell Tower, you must evacuate | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
them straightaway. You don't know what day it could catch fire, it | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
could be the same day, it could be tomorrow, it could be a month's | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
time, you simply don't know. But are you going to play Russian roulette | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
with your tenants and occupants, hats off to Camden for taking | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
action. The action has been taken. Can you tell us the process? We | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
spoke to Georgia Gould who was talking to us about the cooperation | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
the council had with the fire safety department. Who leads decisions when | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
it comes to whether people should be evacuated from their homes? It would | :15:46. | :15:52. | |
be a joint decision between the people involved and various advisers | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
and from then on, they would have their emergency plans which they | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
bring into action. Until the Fire Brigade were there telling them what | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
to do, no action had been taken. It's taken over a week before they | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
have got these people out of a highly dangerous building. Is it | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
time to say we should be more cautious, get them out for a week, | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
and if the Fire Brigade say it's safe, allow them back in? You know, | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
how far do you go, what price is a life? We have lost huge numbers of | :16:26. | :16:33. | |
people. It was totally avoidable. At last, people are starting to take | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
action. I now hear councils across Great Britain at last are putting in | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
sprinkler systems to their buildings. That's been called for by | :16:43. | :16:49. | |
me and many other people for years. It's been called for in inquest | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
after inquest and it's taken until now to actually take the action. | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
Action too late but we are going to save many, many lives in the future. | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
What would your call then be now? That everyone if any building which | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
there is any doubt about the safety of cladding or gas pipe insulations | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
should all be evacuated, people should be evacuated from the | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
buildings now? Well, with the gas installations, cut them off outside | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
the building. You have got no gas. People might not be able to heat, | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
their property, but at the moment you don't worry about that in | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
summer. They may not be able to cook but arrangements can be made to put | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
electric cookers in. You know, my goodness, there are companies over | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
here which would supply cookers the next day, you know. We can sort | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
these things out very simply. I would like to use your expertise in | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
helping us go through the process now of an investigation. Camden | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
council says it's going to investigate the buildings over the | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
next few days. In practical terms, what will that involve? Well, the | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
investigations will first of all start off with finding how the | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
building is constructed. They'll need experts in there to actually | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
check the designs. They'll then go back on the paperwork and follow the | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
paper trail. But very often, the paper trials are very thin on the | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
ground. You know, we don't know where the system's broken down. Now, | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
who said that they hadn't ordered this type of material, they didn't | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
believe they were getting this type of material. So who on the train is | :18:32. | :18:39. | |
the person who got it wrong, as it were, was it the architect, the | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
contractor, the cladding company in placing the order or the supplier? | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
Lots of questions. They are going to have to go through it all. | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
Lots and lots of questions to be asked, as you have highlighted. | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
Thank you very much for your time today and yesterday, of course, here | :18:58. | :18:59. | |
on BBC Breakfast. You're watching | :19:00. | :19:08. | |
Breakfast from BBC News. Here's Stav with a look | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
at this morning's weather. Bolt bot Good spells of sunshine | :19:13. | :19:21. | |
this morning. Showers in the forecast today and tomorrow. The | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
northern half of the country will be breezy. Windy in Scotland where | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
we'll see gales. Unseasonably windy on Saturday into the start of Sunday | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
here. The winds will pick up towards Orkney and Shetland. | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
The best of the sunshine sheltered eastern areas in Scotland. For | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
Northern Ireland, a bit of sunshine here and there and also some cloud. | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
Nice spells of sunshine across north-eastern England and in towards | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
the Midlands. Southern counties rather cloudy because of a weak | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
weather front. We could see some damp weather around Glastonbury for | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
a time. It should start to dry up through the afternoon, given some | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
brightness though it will feel quite warm. For the afternoon, sheltered | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
eastern areas always do the best with the brightness. Eastern Wales, | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
east of the Pennines, the south-east of England and the north-east of | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
Scotland. It's going to be very windy indeed so it will feel cooler. | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
A warm afternoon in the south, NHS to be out and about, not too hot or | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
cold. The showers across the south begin to ease away this evening. For | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
most, it should be dry. Another plume of cloud and some rain will | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
push towards western parts, particularly over the higher ground. | :20:42. | :20:49. | |
Into Sunday, a bit of a change. It's a similar picture, the strong winds | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
are pulled away. We have a run of north-west winds. That the will | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
introduce fresher air across-the-board. It will introduce | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
brighter skies. Much of central, southern England in towards Wales, | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
we could then be seeing a lot of cloud. Top temperatures 21 or 22. | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
Further north, feeling fresher around the mid teens. A touch cooler | :21:13. | :21:14. | |
on Sunday but brighter in the north. You're watching Breakfast | :21:15. | :21:22. | |
from BBC News, it's Time now The former England Cricketer Lucy | :21:23. | :21:24. | |
Person is a headteacher and also a director for the England | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
and Wales Cricket Board. Good morning. Can we clear up a | :21:32. | :21:42. | |
couple of things. Well done, you predicted the All Blacks would be | :21:43. | :21:49. | |
ahead. The score I think is 13-8 at the moment. And we were talking to | :21:50. | :21:57. | |
you about hobbyhorse show jumping. And you hadn't heard of it before, | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
you have now! You were saying you used to do that as a child? Well, | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
yes, I did. I think we all galloped around the garden, haven't we all | :22:08. | :22:17. | |
done that. Gallopy gallopy. Diana from Droitwich used to do it as a | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
child. Her horses were bean sticks. She had several, all sizes all | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
named. Did you have a name for yours? Not that I'd have remembered. | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
Mike's is called Charlie. Let us get on to your choice of stories. There | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
is always a fascination with Harry Potter. What have you picked out? | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
This article is about the impact of Harry Potter and the series 20 years | :22:43. | :22:53. | |
on. Children's books can be political and it talks about how | :22:54. | :23:02. | |
it's used as a vehicle for that. It's an interesting article on how | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
Harry Potter has influenced the way we see writers writing, whether you | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
can write your novel in Starbucks or Costa or whatever it is. I can't | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
believe it's been 20 years. Do you think Harry Potter has had a | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
tangible impact on young people reading more, literally one book? | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
Yes. You have seen, because you are a head teacher, this sort of thing? | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
Yes. There is no doubt. It's galvanised a lot of much better | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
children writing than perhaps is now appealing to children more. I | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
wouldn't necessarily say the calibre is better but they've understood the | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
format that works really well for the modern reader. When I say to you | :23:43. | :23:52. | |
that Honey has a wardrobe made up of Chanel wardrobes, bikinis and | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
dressing gowns, what would you think of? I know because I've already seen | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
the picture. I love my doing but I'm not sure she has that sort of a | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
look. He's a Springer-doodle. He's not as tiny as that. Or as well | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
dressed. He doesn't tend to wear clothes at all to be fair to him. I | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
was struck by the ridiculous nature of the pampering of the pooch with | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
doing psychologists charging beened 190 an hour to work out why the | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
doing has issues. A doing with issues? Yes. If you are a doing | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
looking like that you probably have got issues. So you dress your doing | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
like that and then wonder what the problem is and spend money on trying | :24:35. | :24:42. | |
to decide what it is. It's stupid. Thin blue line now, yellow and pink, | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
the Gay Pride police car? Yes. Now, you see, the police have a hard time | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
and they make an effort to be inclusive which I think is | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
fantastic. They have a sense of humour and what they've done is, the | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
Sussex Police have decorated two of their cars in the Pride colours | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
ready for festivals at Hastings and Eastbourne and they are getting a | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
hard time for spending ?750. For me it shows police are reaching out to | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
communities and it's great and it's a nice story showing the police have | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
a sense of humour. School dinners, were you a fan? Not of tapioca with | :25:17. | :25:25. | |
that tangerine thing at the top, no. We had jam! I ask because so much is | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
related to children's well-being in terms of how well they eat, how much | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
they know about food, you know. You hear stories about kids not knowing | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
that chips come from potatoes, that kind of thing. We have lots of | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
cookery shows that can provide information. But apparently, they | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
are not so helpful? No. Because they're saying that the type of food | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
that a lot of the programmes generate with packed full of high | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
fats and sugar to make them look really attractive. So this | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
particular university in Belgium has done a study which has looked at the | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
fact that children who watch the TV cookery programme would eat | :26:05. | :26:06. | |
one-and-a-half times as many pancakes as the people who sit and | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
watch a gardening show. You may not have taken the study, but... That's | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
not just children though is it, that's all of us? Correct. Tune into | :26:15. | :26:22. | |
Mary Berry's cakes and you want sticky toffee pudding for pudding. | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
So you watch food on TV and you want to eat? It's creating early eating | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
habits not in the best interests for the children. Then you would have to | :26:36. | :26:44. | |
ask the people to cook bad food. Healthy food isn't bad food. Good | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
point. We are entitled to indulge. It offers ideas into that world. | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
Nigella Lawson and Jamie Oliver declined to comment on this. We | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
don't need them because we have Michelle Roux Jr. . What do you | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
think? Healthy food doesn't have to be horrible, I agree 100%. We are a | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
very healthy food show, I can prove that this morning. Prove away. What | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
have you got on, good morning? Good morning. Our guest is in fraining | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
for a 100 mile walk so he's stopped by for healthy food and drink. It's | :27:23. | :27:31. | |
Bill Bailey. Food heaven? Big fan of spicy food, Asian food, aubergines. | :27:32. | :27:38. | |
Sounds healthy. Hell? Not a big offal fan so I tend to avoid it if I | :27:39. | :27:45. | |
can but I'm willing to be persuaded. We have got offal as your hell. My | :27:46. | :27:51. | |
guests are with me. You are going to be cooking something as well? I'll | :27:52. | :27:58. | |
make sticky glue nous rice dumplings. A bit of spice in there. | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
William you are doing a bit of chocolate? Chocolate cake. A real | :28:04. | :28:10. | |
take on an old favourite. We are doing a afterFA cake tart, pastry | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
case filled with almond and marmalade filling and a chocolate | :28:16. | :28:21. | |
muse on top. -- chocolate mousse on top. Lots of lovely wines? Yes, | :28:22. | :28:27. | |
modern, traditional, traditional stuff from the new world and new | :28:28. | :28:32. | |
wines from the traditional world. You are in for a feast. See you at | :28:33. | :28:36. | |
10. Always lovely to see you Michelle | :28:37. | :28:41. | |
Roux Jr. . Thank you very much. See you shortly. | :28:42. | :29:45. | |
Hello this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. | :29:46. | :29:56. | |
Coming up before ten, Holly will be here with the sport. | :29:57. | :29:59. | |
We will have the latest on the British Lions and All Blacks game | :30:00. | :30:02. | |
that is on as we speak. But first a summary of this | :30:03. | :30:06. | |
morning's main news. Around 4,000 people were told | :30:07. | :30:08. | |
to evacuate their homes in Camden, North London last night due | :30:09. | :30:11. | |
to concerns about fire safety. The buildings are clad in similar | :30:12. | :30:13. | |
material to Grenfell Tower, where at least 79 people died | :30:14. | :30:16. | |
in a fire last week. Camden Council told residents | :30:17. | :30:18. | |
in five towers on the Chalcots estate to move after the fire | :30:19. | :30:21. | |
service said their safety In the last hour the Council has | :30:22. | :30:23. | |
confirmed to Breakfast that 650 properties were evacuated, 83 people | :30:24. | :30:31. | |
refused to leave their homes. We asked the fire service is to come | :30:32. | :30:44. | |
in and they did checks all day. They identified a number of issues in the | :30:45. | :30:49. | |
blocks around the insulation, around gas pipes going into flats, around | :30:50. | :30:54. | |
fire doors. Their message to me was that the combination of flammable | :30:55. | :30:58. | |
external cladding and the issues inside the block meant that the | :30:59. | :31:02. | |
building was unsafe. A lot of people, as you have mentioned, | :31:03. | :31:05. | |
people have been saying to us, they have been praising the Council for | :31:06. | :31:09. | |
the swift response. It remains the case that these people have been | :31:10. | :31:12. | |
living in a building, or a number of buildings, that they should never | :31:13. | :31:13. | |
have been in? It raises huge questions for us | :31:14. | :31:17. | |
and we're going to be going to Questions for us locally, | :31:18. | :31:20. | |
questions nationally I think post-Grenfell | :31:21. | :31:27. | |
we're in a completely different situation and we're | :31:28. | :31:31. | |
going to have to ask all of these Right now, my number one | :31:32. | :31:34. | |
priority is to get residents securely out that building, to get | :31:35. | :31:39. | |
them into secure accommodation and do the works we need to do | :31:40. | :31:43. | |
to make the building safe. Have you got reassurances from | :31:44. | :31:50. | |
central government about costing? Have you asked if the money will be | :31:51. | :31:55. | |
provided to do the work and to help housing many families? We have acted | :31:56. | :32:00. | |
as swiftly as we possibly can. We have booked hotel rooms ourselves. | :32:01. | :32:05. | |
We are working with student halls, with other boroughs around temporary | :32:06. | :32:10. | |
accommodation. We are not stopping and waiting for anyone. We just have | :32:11. | :32:15. | |
to get on and move people safely because it is distressing enough. We | :32:16. | :32:18. | |
have been here all night talking to people, being asked to leave your | :32:19. | :32:22. | |
home on a Friday evening, at such short notice, is deeply, deeply | :32:23. | :32:27. | |
upsetting. I think the number one concern is to move those people | :32:28. | :32:32. | |
safely into accommodation, and we are not worrying about money at the | :32:33. | :32:36. | |
moment. Obviously we will be having conversations with central | :32:37. | :32:38. | |
government later on. We are taking legal advice around some of the | :32:39. | :32:43. | |
contracts, around the cladding. Right now, the only thing that is | :32:44. | :32:49. | |
our priority is to move people swiftly into secure accommodation. | :32:50. | :32:53. | |
That was Georgia Gould, the leader of the County Council. | :32:54. | :32:56. | |
The leader of the House of Commons Andrea Leadsom has said | :32:57. | :32:58. | |
it would be helpful if broadcasters "were willing to be a bit patriotic" | :32:59. | :33:02. | |
She made the comment while being questioned | :33:03. | :33:04. | |
by Newsnight's Emily Maitliss about the UK's position | :33:05. | :33:06. | |
We had various different EU politicians, the elected politicians | :33:07. | :33:13. | |
It would be helpful if broadcasters would be bit patriotic. | :33:14. | :33:25. | |
Are you accusing me of being unpatriotic | :33:26. | :33:32. | |
for questioning how negotiations are going? | :33:33. | :33:36. | |
We all need to pull together as a country. | :33:37. | :33:38. | |
We made a decision one year ago today | :33:39. | :33:40. | |
The outgoing leader of the Liberal Democrats, | :33:41. | :33:46. | |
Tim Farron, has described Andrea Leadsom's remarks | :33:47. | :33:47. | |
as "a sinister threat to the free media" - | :33:48. | :33:50. | |
More than 100 people are missing after a landslide | :33:51. | :33:54. | |
Around 40 homes were destroyed when the side of a mountain | :33:55. | :33:58. | |
A rescue operation is now taking place to try to locate the missing. | :33:59. | :34:08. | |
Katy Perry and the Foo Fighters will top the bill at Glastonbury today. | :34:09. | :34:11. | |
Last night, Radiohead took to the pyramid stage, | :34:12. | :34:14. | |
20 years after first being the headline | :34:15. | :34:15. | |
It's expected around 135,000 people will be | :34:16. | :34:20. | |
Those are the main stories. There is a huge game going on. Have you been | :34:21. | :34:36. | |
trying to resist knowing the score? There's no point. Sometimes we put | :34:37. | :34:39. | |
up warnings, but the bottom line is that it is happening right now. | :34:40. | :34:44. | |
That's right. It is half-time at the minute. I know you will be wanting | :34:45. | :34:50. | |
to watch this. At the minute, I'm afraid the All Blacks are ahead. But | :34:51. | :34:54. | |
it has been a brilliant game. It's been tight, actually. It is 13-8 at | :34:55. | :35:05. | |
the minute. That is pretty good? It was 10-0 earlier. Yes, they have | :35:06. | :35:09. | |
brought back from that early lead. It was close in the first half, very | :35:10. | :35:14. | |
exciting. We have been gripped. The early penalty from Taylor, who | :35:15. | :35:18. | |
scored a converted try, which we can see here, giving him that 10-0 lead. | :35:19. | :35:24. | |
We were worried. Actually, the Lions were not ready to lay down. They | :35:25. | :35:29. | |
came back. They scored one of the great Lions test tries. That is what | :35:30. | :35:34. | |
it is already being described as. That got them back in the game just | :35:35. | :35:39. | |
before half-time. Great work by Liam Williams and Elliot Daly, who were | :35:40. | :35:43. | |
two surprise names in the starting 15. They eventually set up Sean | :35:44. | :35:45. | |
O'Brien. 13 - eight at the break. Ireland have wrapped up a series | :35:46. | :35:57. | |
whitewash over Japan with an emphatic 35-13 win in Tokyo | :35:58. | :35:59. | |
- but Scotland have lost their final tour match - | :36:00. | :36:02. | |
they went down 27-22 to Fiji. Jason Roy became the first player | :36:03. | :36:05. | |
in international T20 cricket history to be given out for obstructing | :36:06. | :36:07. | |
the field, as England lost to South Africa by just | :36:08. | :36:10. | |
three runs at Taunton. England were cruising | :36:11. | :36:12. | |
towards their target of 175 when South Africa claimed Roy had | :36:13. | :36:14. | |
deliberately got in the way of a throw | :36:15. | :36:16. | |
and he was dismissed. England needed a four | :36:17. | :36:20. | |
from the last ball - The series decider is | :36:21. | :36:22. | |
at Cardiff tomorrow. The women's Cricket World Cup starts | :36:23. | :36:28. | |
today, with the ICC hoping it'll be a turning point | :36:29. | :36:31. | |
for the women's game. England go into the tournament | :36:32. | :36:34. | |
on the back of some strong warm-up performances - | :36:35. | :36:37. | |
they take on India in the opening match in Derby, where a sell-out | :36:38. | :36:39. | |
crowd of three-thousand is expected. Here's our Sports | :36:40. | :36:42. | |
Correspondent Joe Wilson. In Derby, a group of professional | :36:43. | :36:47. | |
sportswomen prepare for a competition | :36:48. | :36:49. | |
which aims to be noticed They are England and England | :36:50. | :36:51. | |
is where it began. In 1973, Birmingham hosted the final | :36:52. | :36:56. | |
of the first-ever women's World Cup, won by England and these players | :36:57. | :37:02. | |
basically had to pay to play. Heather Knight is a year | :37:03. | :37:07. | |
into her captaincy. The first game is against India, | :37:08. | :37:10. | |
and the winning nation this Something the players | :37:11. | :37:13. | |
will think about? It is a nice touch by the ICC | :37:14. | :37:22. | |
to show where the women's game I think it is a good statement | :37:23. | :37:28. | |
by them, but in terms of practicalities it | :37:29. | :37:34. | |
doesn't change it. Globally, the key is to unlock | :37:35. | :37:38. | |
the potential of India. Signs of progress - | :37:39. | :37:40. | |
well, there was a kit launch featuring women's | :37:41. | :37:45. | |
players alongside the men. India's women have never won | :37:46. | :37:48. | |
the World Cup and are outsiders This is a stage where most | :37:49. | :37:51. | |
of the matches are televised and broadcast and it | :37:52. | :37:59. | |
increases the viewership and, you know, India is a country | :38:00. | :38:01. | |
where cricket is a religion. Boys in state schools in England | :38:02. | :38:08. | |
and Wales still get more opportunity Inspiration often | :38:09. | :38:11. | |
comes from the top. At the World Cup, the opening batter | :38:12. | :38:23. | |
will miss this match through injury. British men's tennis number three | :38:24. | :38:26. | |
Dan Evans said he'd let a lot of people down, | :38:27. | :38:31. | |
after being provisionally suspended He'll miss Wimbledon, of course, | :38:32. | :38:33. | |
but he could be banned I was notified a few days ago that | :38:34. | :38:39. | |
I'd failed a drugs test in April, This was taken out of competition | :38:40. | :38:46. | |
and the context was completely I made a mistake and | :38:47. | :38:52. | |
I must face up to it. I do not condone for one | :38:53. | :38:58. | |
second to anyone that this I've let a lot of people down, | :38:59. | :39:01. | |
my family, my coach, my team, sponsors and the British | :39:02. | :39:05. | |
tennis and my fans. I can only deeply apologise, | :39:06. | :39:07. | |
from the bottom of my heart. Petra Kvitova's comeback | :39:08. | :39:13. | |
is still going well. She's through to the semi-finals | :39:14. | :39:15. | |
of the Aegon Classic in Birmingham This was Kvitova's fifth match | :39:16. | :39:18. | |
since returning to the circuit, after she was stabbed in the hand | :39:19. | :39:25. | |
six months ago. Max Verstappen dominated | :39:26. | :39:29. | |
day one of practice But he did give his Red Bull | :39:30. | :39:31. | |
mechanics some extra work to do, with just seconds remaining | :39:32. | :39:37. | |
of the second session. And the afternoon shadows caused | :39:38. | :39:40. | |
problems for a few drivers - Jolyon Palmer struggling | :39:41. | :39:43. | |
to judge his braking distance. Lewis Hamilton almost | :39:44. | :39:47. | |
collided with Kimi Raikkonen The odds on favourite "Winter" | :39:48. | :39:49. | |
won the big race on day The Fillies took centre stage | :39:50. | :39:56. | |
in the Coronation Stakes and Winter, ridden by Ryan Moore | :39:57. | :40:00. | |
and trained by Aidan O'Brien, launched a late charge to add it | :40:01. | :40:02. | |
to her English and Irish 1000 That all your sport. I'm going to go | :40:03. | :40:16. | |
and watch the second half of this match. Are they going to win? You | :40:17. | :40:23. | |
can't ask that! Just leave it out there. | :40:24. | :40:27. | |
We will get an update on the weather in a few minutes. | :40:28. | :40:31. | |
It was in 2014 when the so called Islamic State group began to seize | :40:32. | :40:34. | |
large swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq. | :40:35. | :40:38. | |
Mosul, Iraq's second city, fell under the group's control, | :40:39. | :40:40. | |
forcing hundreds of thousands of civilians to flee heavy | :40:41. | :40:42. | |
fighting as Iraqi forces tried to recapture it. | :40:43. | :40:44. | |
Yesterday, Iraq's Prime Minister said the city will be | :40:45. | :40:46. | |
liberated within days, after Islamic State destroyed an 800 | :40:47. | :40:48. | |
year old mosque in Mosul, which he declared was "an official | :40:49. | :40:51. | |
We're joined by Professor Paul Rogers, a security lecturer | :40:52. | :40:56. | |
Is that a fair assessment? That it is a declaration of defeat? To some | :40:57. | :41:08. | |
extent, yes. They are not yet defeated. We thought the entire | :41:09. | :41:15. | |
battle to take Mosul would take two months, it is now on to the eighth | :41:16. | :41:18. | |
month. They are restricted to less than a square mile of the old city. | :41:19. | :41:22. | |
It is proving difficult to disrupt them, but they will finally be | :41:23. | :41:26. | |
defeated. Why should we be focusing on Mosul now? When it comes to | :41:27. | :41:33. | |
assessing their control, their organisation or the ability of | :41:34. | :41:37. | |
governments to tackle them? To some extent, because it has been | :41:38. | :41:41. | |
symbolic. The thing is, Isis is already changing, and changing | :41:42. | :41:47. | |
rapidly. They started by creating the caliphate, a geographical | :41:48. | :41:50. | |
caliphate. That is not what Al-Qaeda was about. It is now losing that | :41:51. | :41:53. | |
caliphate. It has been facing an intense air war for three years. | :41:54. | :41:58. | |
They killed 50,000 Isis supporters in that period. They are going | :41:59. | :42:04. | |
underground, so they will continue in Iraq but they will not be holding | :42:05. | :42:07. | |
territory. They are already letting of bombs elsewhere. Let's visualise | :42:08. | :42:16. | |
this with the matter. -- map. These were the areas that were controlled | :42:17. | :42:22. | |
by them. If we move the map on, and it has moved on, we can see the | :42:23. | :42:26. | |
control has receded in Iraq and north-western Syria. In terms of | :42:27. | :42:30. | |
territorial control, we can see that. They lost East Mosul four | :42:31. | :42:34. | |
months ago. But there were bombs left off in East Mosul yesterday. | :42:35. | :42:38. | |
They are still there, but underground. They are going | :42:39. | :42:42. | |
underground and they are also expanding overseas. They are | :42:43. | :42:45. | |
significant in Afghanistan, the southern Philippines, which was a | :42:46. | :42:49. | |
huge surprise, and even in Egypt. The third thing they are doing is | :42:50. | :42:52. | |
taking the war to what they see as the enemy, us. Over the last few | :42:53. | :42:56. | |
years we have seen all of these attacks. The Belgians were lucky, | :42:57. | :43:01. | |
the bomb attack on the main railway station didn't decimate. If it had | :43:02. | :43:05. | |
done, it would have been very bad. You're talking about the symbolic | :43:06. | :43:12. | |
meaning of Mosul, we saw the map. Where do they go? Where do the | :43:13. | :43:20. | |
fighters go? They disappear, but many of them still exist? They do, | :43:21. | :43:28. | |
it is like the Taliban in 2001. They melt away and then come back. They | :43:29. | :43:32. | |
are basically in communities. There is an underlying level of support. | :43:33. | :43:37. | |
Because they no longer controlled territories, that does not mean they | :43:38. | :43:45. | |
don't disappear. Al-Qaeda never really control any territory. It is | :43:46. | :43:51. | |
a different war. The forces have gone for a stronghold, they can show | :43:52. | :43:54. | |
the world something that is being done there, the hardest part of the | :43:55. | :44:01. | |
equation is the next bit? Yes, they are now accepting themselves that | :44:02. | :44:04. | |
they are losing this territory. They are now saying this is a symbol of | :44:05. | :44:08. | |
what we could achieve, but now we are going to go underground and | :44:09. | :44:11. | |
undermine states. It is a different kind of war. I would love to say the | :44:12. | :44:15. | |
war is coming to an end and we're heading the 17th year, and I'm | :44:16. | :44:20. | |
afraid not, it's a long way to go. The point Charlie was making, OK, | :44:21. | :44:25. | |
they may be defeated but the problem is still on the ground there are so | :44:26. | :44:29. | |
many groups representing discontent, rising up, diminishing all the time, | :44:30. | :44:36. | |
that's not going to go away? People very rarely look at that background. | :44:37. | :44:40. | |
We have a problem right across the Middle East and in other parts of | :44:41. | :44:43. | |
the world where more and more people think they are on the margins, so | :44:44. | :44:46. | |
they are angry and resentful. Many of them fall back on the religious | :44:47. | :44:51. | |
identity, which is Islam or another religion, or something political. | :44:52. | :44:58. | |
The problem the Indians have, it's Maoists. It is this marginalised | :44:59. | :45:05. | |
world. People who have gone through university, and can't get jobs. It's | :45:06. | :45:09. | |
a worldwide phenomenon. We are moving into the era of regular war, | :45:10. | :45:14. | |
revolts from the margins. The problem is, it is not something we | :45:15. | :45:21. | |
can defeat with conventional military. Thank you very much. | :45:22. | :45:28. | |
Here's Stav with a look at this morning's weather. | :45:29. | :45:31. | |
A mixed picture? That is what you have been saying, but I have been | :45:32. | :45:38. | |
really enjoying the pictures behind you, they are glorious. | :45:39. | :45:42. | |
Some are from weather Watchers, some are in the generic folder we have. I | :45:43. | :45:50. | |
am trying to paint a better picture, there is going to be some sunshine | :45:51. | :45:53. | |
around. It is not going to be doom and gloom. It won't be as hot and | :45:54. | :45:57. | |
sunny as it was last weekend. Something a bit more comfortable | :45:58. | :45:59. | |
this weekend. There will be some rain and showers in the forecasts. | :46:00. | :46:03. | |
It's going to be breezy, particularly the northern half of | :46:04. | :46:06. | |
the country and the northern part of Scotland. That is because of this, a | :46:07. | :46:11. | |
deep area of low pressure, unseasonably windy weather to the | :46:12. | :46:14. | |
far north. There could be a bit of transport disruption through the | :46:15. | :46:19. | |
afternoon period. Blustery showers as well. Maybe longer spells of rain | :46:20. | :46:22. | |
moving in later. The best of the brightness will always be a cross | :46:23. | :46:27. | |
sheltered eastern parts of Scotland, the Pennines and the south-east. | :46:28. | :46:30. | |
Through the morning we have have this week whether from struggling | :46:31. | :46:33. | |
southern counties. That has been thick enough to produce light and | :46:34. | :46:39. | |
patchy rain. A little bit of light rain around in Glastonbury. As we | :46:40. | :46:45. | |
head into the afternoon, if we get brightness it will feel quite warm. | :46:46. | :46:50. | |
The air mass is quite warm. When we get the sunshine, feeling pleasant. | :46:51. | :46:55. | |
Maybe the odd spot of rain. 40 or 50 miles an hour across Northern | :46:56. | :46:59. | |
Ireland and the Northern Isles, with blustery showers and longer spells | :47:00. | :47:06. | |
of rain moving in. Between 20 and 18 degrees for many. It is really | :47:07. | :47:13. | |
feeling quite pleasant. Any showers which develop across the South | :47:14. | :47:16. | |
should clear where this evening. For the first part of the night, dry. | :47:17. | :47:24. | |
Rain pushing into more westerly areas, and blustery wind across | :47:25. | :47:27. | |
Scotland. That area of low pressure clears away gradually on Sunday, | :47:28. | :47:33. | |
towards Scandinavia. Then we are in with some slightly more | :47:34. | :47:39. | |
north-westerly wind. With that comes some more brighter conditions. We | :47:40. | :47:42. | |
will see the sunshine for Scotland, Northern Ireland, England. I think | :47:43. | :47:48. | |
we are looking at cloudier skies for the Midlands southwards. Maybe 2122 | :47:49. | :47:56. | |
in the south-east. So, not a bad weekend. Would you say it is camping | :47:57. | :48:04. | |
weather? Yes. All of those areas where you get the sunshine, it will | :48:05. | :48:06. | |
be lovely. Cooler than of late. This is where we test if he has got | :48:07. | :48:16. | |
it right. It is Glastonbury. Are there raindrops there? I'm not sure. | :48:17. | :48:23. | |
Lizo Mzimba is there. Give us a sense of how the weather is and what | :48:24. | :48:24. | |
has been happening so far. It is what you would call more | :48:25. | :48:32. | |
traditional Glastonbury weather. With the end of a heat wave it has | :48:33. | :48:36. | |
been very hot and dry out here. That has confused quite a lot of people | :48:37. | :48:39. | |
that are not used to it. This is much more familiar for regular | :48:40. | :48:45. | |
Glastonbury goers. A bit of hazy weather, rain, quite damp underfoot. | :48:46. | :48:50. | |
Depending on how it turned out later on, we will see how muddy it gets. | :48:51. | :48:53. | |
People have enjoyed the first few days. As for the whole experience, | :48:54. | :48:58. | |
the big headliners last night on the Pyramid Stage were Radiohead. They | :48:59. | :49:03. | |
drew quite a big crowd. Radio had fans seemed to love it. It was the | :49:04. | :49:06. | |
20th anniversary of their first appearance here at Glastonbury. | :49:07. | :49:10. | |
Because this is Glastonbury, there is lots of other music fans around | :49:11. | :49:14. | |
but maybe not that into Radiohead. We wanted to see what they think. | :49:15. | :49:19. | |
You are not huge fans, but he went to see. What did you think? We were | :49:20. | :49:22. | |
not massive fans before we went to see them. We got a lot of | :49:23. | :49:27. | |
recommendations from friends, people that were big fans. They said to go | :49:28. | :49:33. | |
and see them. We went with an open mind and pub it was a mixed review. | :49:34. | :49:38. | |
We enjoyed the music a lot. I don't think the band showed enough of | :49:39. | :49:40. | |
themselves on the screen. There was not enough personalisation. We | :49:41. | :49:45. | |
cannot really see what they were doing. We couldn't see them on the | :49:46. | :49:48. | |
screens, we could barely see the actual Pyramid Stage. Did you watch | :49:49. | :49:56. | |
the whole thing? It went on for quite a long time if you are not a | :49:57. | :50:04. | |
huge fan. We went to the John Peel stage instead. We went there for the | :50:05. | :50:11. | |
experience, we experienced what Radiohead wanted to put across to | :50:12. | :50:14. | |
us. That is what it is about for them. It was a massive experience, | :50:15. | :50:19. | |
but then for the last half an hour, we thought, let's go and enjoy | :50:20. | :50:26. | |
something else. He wanted to see Clean Bandit, I made her go to | :50:27. | :50:32. | |
Radiohead instead. Your second Glastonbury for both of you, who are | :50:33. | :50:36. | |
you looking forward to seeing? LSU answer that one! -- I will let you | :50:37. | :50:44. | |
answered that one. We're going to see Foo Fighters tonight, Ed Sheeran | :50:45. | :50:48. | |
tomorrow will be great. And seeing Jeremy Corbyn is going to be great | :50:49. | :50:55. | |
as well. Run The Jewels, they are apparently really good. How does it | :50:56. | :51:00. | |
compare to the previous Glastonbury? A lot drier. It was so sunny. People | :51:01. | :51:05. | |
were melting in their tents. Everybody was out of their tents. | :51:06. | :51:08. | |
Last year it was raining and everybody stayed in a tent a lot | :51:09. | :51:11. | |
more. People were out, chatting to each other, it was nice. Same | :51:12. | :51:16. | |
atmosphere, loads of fun. Everybody is so friendly. Thank you for | :51:17. | :51:21. | |
talking to us. We will be here all day at Glastonbury. Ed Sheeran is | :51:22. | :51:29. | |
playing tomorrow. Katy Perry, Foo Fighters on the main stage, Jeremy | :51:30. | :51:32. | |
Corbyn will be introducing the band there. We will be here with all of | :51:33. | :51:33. | |
that later. I like it when people dress | :51:34. | :51:39. | |
appropriately for the story they are covering. Paula Radcliffe has joined | :51:40. | :51:46. | |
us this morning. Look at this, you have dressed appropriately. You've | :51:47. | :51:49. | |
got your trainers on, shorts, the whole works. It's my only time of | :51:50. | :51:59. | |
the day to put this on. You have this on because you're going to run | :52:00. | :52:03. | |
out of the studio? Yes, down the canal bank. How often do you go for | :52:04. | :52:10. | |
a run, everyday? Yes, if I can. I enjoy it and it makes me feel better | :52:11. | :52:14. | |
for the day, I think things through in my head. Not necessarily | :52:15. | :52:19. | |
training, it is just for you? Yes, it now is just leisure time. It was | :52:20. | :52:23. | |
always pleasure, but there was usually a function and training | :52:24. | :52:28. | |
purpose. Now it is whatever I want to make of it. Talk us through what | :52:29. | :52:32. | |
is happening, the European team Championships taking place in Lille? | :52:33. | :52:39. | |
It started as the European cup and it has now become the European Team | :52:40. | :52:44. | |
Championships. There are supposed to be 12 teams taking part in the Super | :52:45. | :52:48. | |
League section. But Russia are not there because they are still banned. | :52:49. | :52:53. | |
So there are 11 teams. The first night was last night and they did | :52:54. | :52:59. | |
qualifying round so that we got eight for the short track events. | :53:00. | :53:03. | |
Who should we be looking out for, the stars and people who have | :53:04. | :53:08. | |
something special? There are some good names. Our team from Britain is | :53:09. | :53:12. | |
weaker than it has been in previous years. I think our biggest battle, | :53:13. | :53:16. | |
if you like, will be to make sure we are not in the relegation zone at | :53:17. | :53:20. | |
the end of the weekend. Can you explain why? We have trials next | :53:21. | :53:28. | |
weekend. A lot of athletes are focusing on the home Championships. | :53:29. | :53:34. | |
I think British Athletics have said they are going to let the athletes | :53:35. | :53:42. | |
focus on what is important on that. We have the likes of Jake Wightman, | :53:43. | :53:46. | |
who ran very well in Oslo last week and won the 1500 metres. Following | :53:47. | :53:54. | |
in the illustrious footsteps of Andy Baddeley, to win that. He will be in | :53:55. | :53:59. | |
a tough race today. We have Sophie Hutchens, Eilidh Child came through | :54:00. | :54:07. | |
comfortably. Everybody qualified into the final eight. Some of the | :54:08. | :54:10. | |
events were taking place yesterday and we have got some of the stills. | :54:11. | :54:15. | |
Maybe you could talk us through who we are seeing? That is Harry, he | :54:16. | :54:22. | |
qualified fine. Sorry, we should have told you we were going to do | :54:23. | :54:26. | |
this. If you can tell me who that is... It is a nice picture! It is a | :54:27. | :54:37. | |
montage. You talked about some other competitors, the 1500 metres, and | :54:38. | :54:44. | |
you a golden era of middle-distance running, Sebastian Coe, Steve Cram. | :54:45. | :54:47. | |
Your name is obviously included in those great names. Is there still a | :54:48. | :54:52. | |
bit of the British athletes that has that kind of looming over them a | :54:53. | :54:56. | |
bit, that is what people still hark back to? Yes and no. Certainly, in | :54:57. | :55:06. | |
the men's 1500 metres, 800 metres, that was a little bit of a | :55:07. | :55:11. | |
millstone. The minute anybody put in a great performance, suddenly they | :55:12. | :55:13. | |
have that around their neck. They are going to be the next Sebastian | :55:14. | :55:17. | |
Coe. I think that has happened less on the women's side. I think now | :55:18. | :55:24. | |
attitudes are changing. We are seeing young athletes, particularly | :55:25. | :55:30. | |
Scottish athletes, the likes of Lynsey Sharp, Jake Wightman, they | :55:31. | :55:33. | |
are coming through and running really well with the attitude, well, | :55:34. | :55:37. | |
if Laura Muir can do it, I can do it. They are inspiring one another? | :55:38. | :55:42. | |
Yes, building off each other. We have seen that, but not as much as | :55:43. | :55:49. | |
we have at the moment. Can we talk about something less savoury that | :55:50. | :55:52. | |
has hit the sport, the doping allegations, the proposals of | :55:53. | :55:58. | |
stripping athletes of world records. These are the world records set | :55:59. | :56:03. | |
before 2005 because of when doping procedures were brought in. Your | :56:04. | :56:09. | |
reaction was one of strong disappointment, is that fair to say? | :56:10. | :56:13. | |
Just remind us again, how did you actually... How did you feel? Did | :56:14. | :56:19. | |
you take that as a personal affront? I did take it personally and I was | :56:20. | :56:24. | |
very hurt and frustrated, a little bit upset about it. It wasn't the | :56:25. | :56:31. | |
IAAF, it was the European Association, a proposal they put to | :56:32. | :56:35. | |
the IAAF and wanted to get accepted. For me, it was just very | :56:36. | :56:39. | |
heavy-handed. There were saying, yes, we're not accusing anybody of | :56:40. | :56:46. | |
anything, we just want to start again, that it didn't ring true. | :56:47. | :56:50. | |
There were just saying, OK, we can't believe any of those performances so | :56:51. | :56:53. | |
we will push everything to the side and start again. We are not yet at a | :56:54. | :56:57. | |
point where we are in a position to say that credibility is there, there | :56:58. | :57:02. | |
is enough faith in the testing system, enough faith in everything | :57:03. | :57:05. | |
going on to try to be able to do that. You should never throw away | :57:06. | :57:12. | |
the history and what the sport is built on. Punishing athletes twice, | :57:13. | :57:17. | |
that was the biggest thing. For those that don't know, you are the | :57:18. | :57:20. | |
current world record holder in the marathon? So that is yours. You have | :57:21. | :57:26. | |
that. That is your record. Under these guidelines, that would not | :57:27. | :57:33. | |
exist, is that right? Well, they were saying you would be listed as a | :57:34. | :57:38. | |
former world record-holder. For me, you become a former world | :57:39. | :57:41. | |
record-holder when somebody beats your time. Not because the | :57:42. | :57:48. | |
administrators decide to make it like that. It is all in the balance. | :57:49. | :57:52. | |
We want things that are good for the sport, but I don't think it is the | :57:53. | :57:55. | |
right way to make it better for the sport. I think it is better to | :57:56. | :57:59. | |
concentrate on things like the new athletics integrity unit that is | :58:00. | :58:04. | |
really restoring balance a little bit. We are the first international | :58:05. | :58:09. | |
body took take huge steps to be independent and do everything to | :58:10. | :58:12. | |
protect the credibility and integrity within athletics. I think | :58:13. | :58:16. | |
it is better to get to that point and keep the faith, restore the | :58:17. | :58:21. | |
faith in the sport coming in. I asked you how you felt initially and | :58:22. | :58:25. | |
you said upset, disappointed, everybody would understand that. | :58:26. | :58:29. | |
Yesterday, the outgoing UK athletics chief suggested that you understood | :58:30. | :58:36. | |
it was for the greater good. Is that true? I read his comments, he said, | :58:37. | :58:39. | |
we would all do things for the greater good of the sport. He wasn't | :58:40. | :58:43. | |
sure that was the way to do it. That is kind of what I am saying. Yes, we | :58:44. | :58:49. | |
all do want to see the sport, a sport we all love, we want to see it | :58:50. | :58:53. | |
in a better place. We want to see it fairly represented as the great | :58:54. | :58:56. | |
sport that it is. Yes, there is a doping problem, but it is not as big | :58:57. | :59:00. | |
as in other sports, we are just doing a lot more to fight it and a | :59:01. | :59:03. | |
lot more to bring it into the open and make it a better sport for every | :59:04. | :59:07. | |
clean athlete out there and protect them. I think we all want to do | :59:08. | :59:15. | |
things. There are certain things where you are not going to give up | :59:16. | :59:18. | |
things you have worked very hard for without a fight, just in the name of | :59:19. | :59:21. | |
it being for the good of the sport. To raise athletes cheating and then | :59:22. | :59:23. | |
lose records because of athletes that chose to cheat. I wish we had | :59:24. | :59:26. | |
more time to talk to you but we are at the end of the programme. Enjoy | :59:27. | :59:32. | |
your run. We've got to go for a run. Coverage of the European team | :59:33. | :59:38. | |
Championships is on the red button from 12.50. That's all from us. | :59:39. | :59:40. |
