Hello this is Breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and Jon Kay.

More criticism of Kensington Council as the London Mayor calls for it

The council leader and his deputy resigned yesterday over

their response to the Grenfell fire, now Sadiq Khan says commissioners

Good morning it's Saturday the 1st of July.

A former hospital employee opens fire with an assault rifle

in New York, killing one doctor and injuring six other people.

Ten years after smoking was banned in public places in England,

we'll be asking how much difference it's made.

In sport, it's make or break for the British and Irish lions

in one of the most significant games in their history.

Lose to the All Blacks, and the Test series is over.

And it's the sailing sport that sees you fly above the water -

Much how fun does that look! Amazing.

A chilly start for most of the country. Mostly drive with some

sunny spells. Kensington and Chelsea Council

is facing more criticism over its handling

of the Grenfell fire. The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan

is calling for commissioners to be brought in to take over

the running of the authority, The council leader,

Nicholas Paget-Brown, and his deputy, both

resigned yesterday. After angry protests at the council

officers and after a meeting of the council was cut short following an

attempt to land the public and press... Were you pressured by

number ten to resign? The pressure for the leader got too great. This

is a huge human tragedy. Many families. The task, successor is to

ensure that the strengths which also characterise this place and North

Kensington in particular, seem to play their part in bringing the

community together. But the Mayor of London says that this cannot happen

without a change of leadership from the existing councils. He said the

authority is not fit for purpose. Tate commissioners must be brought

in immediately. He has the backing of a community campaigner who says

residents have been in Lord for far too long. Trust in the whole of the

Cabinet has gone, confidence in the council has gone. They would

complain if the yes and raise these issues and the aftermath has been

disastrous, as we can all see and you people do need to be put in

place that people can be confident in. One Conservative member called

the idea and democratic. The communities Secretary said it was

right that the leader stepped aside and the government remained focused

on providing all necessary support to people affected by the tragedy.

Our correspondent, Simon Jones is outside Kensington Town Hall this

morning - Simon, how likely is the government to intervene?

This is where angry residents gathered two weeks ago to protest.

Some are up the steps behind me and managed to get up inside the

building. They said their voices were not being hurt when they made

complaints about safety before the fire and that they had been

abandoned by the council after that. The anger remains but for a

government to step in and remove councillors elected by the public is

a big deal but it has happened before in the past, in rather where

the council was accused of not being fit for purpose are not dealing

properly with child exploitation. And also in another occasion with a

culture of cronyism was found. Whoever takes over the council, if

they councillors or commissioners, they have a huge task to restore

confidence in the council and build bridges with residents who feel so

badly let down. A man has opened fire

inside a hospital in New York, killing a doctor and seriously

wounding six other people. The gunman, who was a former

employee at the hospital, The Bronx-Lebanon Hospital is

normally a place of care and concern but on Friday afternoon, one doctor

broke his oath to do no harm. A former employee entered the building

with an assault rifle concealed under a white doctors coat. He has

been identified as Doctor Henry Bello. If I had numerous shots on

the 16th and 17th floor of the hospital which struck many dog is on

duty. Thank God this was not an act of terrorism. It is an isolated

incident. It appears to be a workplace related matter but that

makes it no less tragic all no less horrible. Emergency services

responded and locked down the building. Officers went floor to

floor looking for the shooter, following a trail of blood. They

were told he was on the 17th floor and once there they found him dead

from a self inflict it gun wound. One female doctor was found dead and

six other and injured. Some are fighting for their lives. There are

still many an Ansett questions, including how a man was able to

enter a hospital with an assault rifle in one of the few places in

the country where they are banned. The former chief of staff

to the Brexit Secretary has said negotiations with the EU

are being "hamstrung" by Theresa May's

lack of flexibility. James Chapman worked

closely with David Davis, and told the BBC that the red lines

set by the Prime Minister had made his former boss's job very

difficult as he conducts talks There will be further talks

between the Northern Ireland political parties today

as they try to reach a deal to save the power-sharing

agreement by Monday. The Northern Ireland

Secretary James Brokenshire, said the situation "cannot continue

for much longer," after the DUP and Sinn Fein missed a government

deadline on Thursday. A number of British Airways cabin

crew are launching a sixteen-day strike from this morning

in a long-running dispute The airline says that no

short-haul flights will be affected, but it has brought in aircraft

and crews from Qatar Airways Thousands of police have been

deployed in Hong Kong, where celebrations are being held

to mark the 20th anniversary of the territory's handover

from British to Chinese rule. The new chief executive

Carrie Lam was sworn Our Correspondent Juliana Liu joins

us now from live from Hong Kong. Juliana, it's a day of not just

celebration, but tensions too? The new chief executor of Hong Kong,

Carrie Lam, was sworn in by the Chinese President, Xi Xingpin, on

his first trip to Hong Kong as president of China. He reiterated

his commitment to the one country two systems system in Hong Kong

allowing it more freedom. He also let the people in the city who are

calling for independence from China. Let me share with you what he said

which is, any attempt to endanger China sovereignty and security is

absolutely impermissible. That is what he said this morning around the

time of the duration, there were scuffles between pro- Beijing and

pro-democracy groups. These are scuffles took place for more than an

hour and it was really a physical manifestation of the deep divisions

in society today. Thank you very much.

If you were due to see Adele at Wembley this weekend,

The singer has been forced to cancel both shows because she's

In a series of tweets, Adele said she was devastated

and heartbroken as the shows were the biggest of her life.

But she admitted she'd struggled vocally earlier in the week.

On Wednesday night she also told fans that this tour

It's exactly ten years today since the smoking ban was introduced

in pubs and other licensed premises in England.

It hasn't been popular with everybody,

but campaigners say the legislation has helped two million smokers

to kick the habit, as our Health Correspondent Sophie

Over a decade ago, lighting up in restaurants, pubs and bars, in fact

any enclosed public space was the norm at all that changed with the

band ten years ago bringing it in line with the rest of the UK.

Smoking rates are the lowest ever recorded, just ate million smokers

are and that means 2 million people have given up. The proportion of 16

- 24 year olds is just 17%. An all-time low. We are after a

smoke-free generation. We at part way there. Younger people dropping

more people than other age groups. We are seeing them using EC Greta

Small is innate to quit smoking and that seems to be particularly

helpful. Also services that can help them. But there have been criticisms

about the ban, saying it has led to the closure of 11,000 pubs in

England. Public support for smoke-free areas has grown. A poll

suggesting just 4% of people would like to see it overturned. Just/

12%. Princes William and Harry

will attend a private service later to re-dedicate their mother's grave,

on what would have been The Princess of Wales

is buried at her family home, Our Royal Correspondent,

Peter Hunt reports. September, 1997, and the last public

moments of a funeral that transfixed the nation and indeed the world.

This was Diana Princess of Wales being roared home to Althorp House,

Althorp House, near Northampton where she lived

as a teenager and where her ancestors had lived for generations.

With their cameras present, the printers was buried on an island in

the middle of an ornamental lake in the heart of this vast private

estate. The precise location of the great has never been made public.

The area has been redesigned in her honour on the significant

anniversary year. 20 years, her ex-husband was there with their sons

and brother and sister. 20 years on, the future king would be missing

because easing Canada with his wife. With his father absent, Prince

William will be joined by his wife and their children at this very

private ceremony. They will attend a service for a mother-in-law and a

grandmother they never met. When Diana died, they were just children

and this is the start of a difficult time as they remember their mother,

a mother who they say smothered them in love. Today at a grave they will

reflect and say prayers. A brand new photograph

of Her Majesty the Queen has been released this morning,

to celebrate the 150th anniversary The Queen, who is head of state,

is wearing the platinum brooch set with diamonds on her left shoulder,

if you look closely you can spot it. The piece of jewellery has been worn

by a succession of royal women including the Queen Mother

and recently the Duchess of Prince Charles and Camilla

are celebrating Canada Day It is 6:13am stop thank you for

joining us. Some very important spot. Do you wish you were watching

at? I will tune in later. It's "do or die" for

the British and Irish Lions That's the words of defence

coach Andy Farrell. Their second Test

against the All Blacks kicks off just after eight

thirty this morning. Our Sports Correspondent Katie

Gornall is at the Westpac Stadium in Katie, the Lions face

a big challenge. It must be very tense of their? It

is. I mean, there is a say much riding on this game. The tour

captain described it as the biggest challenge of his career. In

Wellington, a game down, they have to come back against the world

champion on home turf - it does not get any bigger than this. They were

very outmuscled in the first test. There pride was wounded and a

response is being demanded. It is this election in midfield having

everyone talking. Sexton and Farrell together. It will take something

special together to knock the All Blacks of their perch. The weather

is forecasting rain. That is not necessarily a bad thing. The weather

could be a bit of a leveller, something for Lions fans to cling on

to. I was an event yesterday, there then Kieran Read, the All Blacks,

was coaching kids. Normally you would expect them to be more tense

but he was looking very relaxed. The Lions will have to produce the game

of their careers if they are to win their later.

Let there, and not here. It has been getting better this weekend. Louise

will tell you all about it -- wet they are. We have seen some heavy

rain this week, but for the first weekend of July are not looking too

bad at all. The dominantly dry. It will be some sunshine and in the

sunshine at this time of year, if you get it and keep it it will feel

pretty warm as well. A beautiful start up into the north-west. In

Scotland, look at this in Argyll Bute. The cloud will arrive today,

so make the most of it as there is a weather front heading in your

direction. Rain through the motocross the south-east will ease

away, -- reigned through the south-east will ease away. Sunlight,

patchy rain into the Western Isles a little bit later on. The best of the

breaks in the cloud eventually shifting their way further east, and

here in Scotland temperatures will respond. Cloud into Northern Ireland

and through much of England and Wales this morning. Maybe the cloud

thick enough was still a spot or two of drizzle in the extreme

south-east, but conditions will improve. The cloud remaining fairly

well broken towards the west and as we go through the day will start to

see some sunshine coming through. A big slice of sunshine from the west

and cloud breaking up in the south-east as well so temperatures

will respond. That weak weather front to the north and west

producing some drizzle, 12 to 18 degrees. We might see 19 or 24

eastern Scotland and highest values of 2324 in the south-east corner.

That is the mid- 70s Fahrenheit. That weather front will gradually

drift its way south and east as we move out of Saturday towards the

early hours of Sunday morning and there could be some heavy bursts,

that is good news for gardeners and growers. We could see some rain for

gardeners through the night but it means a pretty grey, potentially wet

start in the south-east with a smattering of showers into the far

north-west. We start Monday with contrasting weather conditions. The

rain will ease away, and improving picture but we keep the risk of a

few sharp showers and winds increasing here. They are likely to

stay as quite a feature over the next day or so. Top temperatures on

Sunday afternoon, we are looking at 13 to 23. More from me coming up

later in the morning. We will not be complaining about that at all.

But now, let's hear Mark Kermode's take on this week's new releases,

Hello and welcome to the Film Review on BBC News.

To take us through this week's cinema releases is Mark Kermode.

We have A Man Called Ove, which is a portrait

We have Despicable Me 3, the Minions are back.

Lots to talk about but my most important role this week is to get

the pronunciation right of A Man Called Ove.

It is adapted from a bestseller and the blurb says, it will make

you feel a new sympathy for the curmudgeons in your life.

The tag line on the movie poster is, you will love him as much

He wants to end his life but it keeps being distracted

by his neighbours to keep breaking the housing association rules,

of which he is a stickler for keeping to.

When a new family moves and he is furious about their presence,

their noise, generally them being there.

However, a woman sees behind that curudgeonly facade,

he starts to break down his resistance and amazingly,

A fantastic look of exasperation on his face.

Did you ever see The 100-year-old Man Who Climbed Out The Window And

I know the one you mean, I didn't, sadly but I read about it.

I struggled with that film, because it had that Scandi humour

think that I never really fell in with.

With this, it looks like that kind of film but then we start to learn

about his life story, young romance, childhood trauma,

his relationship with his wife which is idyllic but faces tragedy,

and you start to understand how he got to where he is and it is

There is an ongoing argument about whether Saabs or Volvos

Entire friendships fall out over these arguments but you start to see

He has a strong moral compass and is somebody who has suffered

Inside that is the person he used to be.

I went in thinking I would go for it, but I laughed and cried.

I like any movie that makes me cry because it means that it's working,

Despite the tag line, you will love him as much

as he hates you, which I thought would be a hard watch,

Alternatively, a third of any film, really, does the world need this?

Whether we need Despicable Me 3 is another question.

Here's the thing, I find the Minions funny.

They are running out of plots and they had to bring a twin brother

in to make the plot work, but you see the minions before

the titles and one pulls out a fart gun and I just started laughing.

I giggled like an idiot for the rest of the film because I think

The verbal staff is funny and they are perfect slapstick

creations, they remind me of what was funny

There is Steve Carrell and a story about Gru and his brother,

a new super villain but for me I just find the minions funny.

Even though I knew that I shouldn't, I did.

I am so fascinated by Risk, your third choice.

This is by Laura Poitras, who made Citizenfour,

about Edward Snowden which was brilliant.

She was in the hotel room when the revelations were made.

He came across as self-effacing and shy in that documentary.

Someone who did not want to be the centre of the story.

This is one about Julian Assange, about whom the adjectives

self-effacing and shy are not immediately applicable.

The film is very conflicted about its subject.

It looks like it began as a film about someone film maker admired,

The portrait we get is someone who is narcissistic,

controlling, self obsessed, and has no self-awareness.

Here is a clip in which Julian Assange and his associate are trying

to ring Hillary Clinton on the phone.

You are the emergency line and it will take a while?

Do you want to do that now and I will wait.

He would like to speak to her about that, yes.

OK, let me start by giving you my phone number.

Details including an unredacted cable set are about to go

I do not understand why you do not see the urgency in this.

We don't have a problem, you have a problem.

The story is well now rehearsed, I think people know

What is strange about this film is that it is very fragmented,

it is nothing like as good as Citizenfour.

You can tell that it is a film in which the film-maker's

relationship to the subject changed during it.

When the film was first seen about a year ago,

the film-makers said the Julian Assange demanded changes

and got lawyers involved, which he did not have the right

She has made the film that she wanted to make.

There is an irony in someone who is releasing information wanting

We have seen this before in other documentaries

and in the much-derided drama, the Fifth Estate.

You get an inside view, but it is fragmented and frustrating

because even when they are talking about the electio,n you want

Julian Assange has said that the film will do his reputation

no good at all and I think that he is right.

Which some people may take as a recommendation in itself.

It depends where you stand on these things.

It is interesting, also that it was made by a woman.

It caused a fuss when it was released at Cannes

because it is simultaneously released on Netfix.

It is basically as story about a young girl in Korea who has

She follows to America to stop it being experimented

It is a film about where food comes from and how does capitalism hide

Tilda Swinton is a fantastically monstrous creation.

The film uses brilliant CGI to bring the giant pig to life.

The film is satirical and strange and I liked it.

It is thought provoting, it is not vegetarian propaganda

but it will give you food for thought.

I like that phrase, vegetarian propaganda.

It is a story about a young man he was involved in an accident

and his heart may be used for a transplant to save someone

It is a film about the miracle of medicine but it is more

than that, it is about life and death, it is about

transcendence, it takes poetic meanders into strange areas.

It is very underplayed and does not feel like it is manipulating your

emotions but I was totally overwhelmed by it.

Everyone I know who has seen it has loved that.

I am genuinely looking forward to that.

See you next week and a quick reminder that you will find more

film reviews and news from across the BBC online.

passionate. In Japan, they do it everywhere. It is on the roads. We

heard about people in cars but bashing into someone... I am going

to stop. My biggest beef is tourists looking at London Bridge through an

iPad. I saw a few Lions fans doing that this morning!. What do you

think of the weather in terms of the effect? The All Blacks are used to

all that. They have not lost their in 17 years.

Coach Andy Farrell says, the underdog has always had its day,

The Lions will lose the series if they fail to beat the All Blacks

The level of my rivals and the course we are racing on this year

makes it a much more open race and it will be the biggest challenge for

me, for sure. To win a fourth Tour de France would be incredible. I

mean, I do not want to jinx it. It would just be... Unreal.

Now its a big weekend of sailing, with the "Round the island Race",

which happens around the Isle of wight, and I've been in those

waters, for an exclusive look at how, the sport of foiling,

in which you fly along above the water, is becoming more

If you thought the sort of sailing we've seen recently,

in the America's cup, was just for the most experienced

Is it a boat or is it a plane? Well, it tries to be a bit of both. It is

trying to bring the thrill of the America's Cup sailing to all of us.

It changes the game massively in terms of how much fun you can have.

The kids are going to love this. Until May, the sport of foiling us

Andy Bean for the most daring because the consequences could be

serious. Every time you make a small mistake, you capsize of the boat and

most people have got three or four in them before it is all too much.

This is a new challenge. These Paralympic gold-medallist is used to

sailing in the water and I joined her on her third attempt at this for

a bit of a crash course. Incredible! We are not even touching the

surface. We have lift off! Is this all there, that is what makes it a

lot safer for novices because we crashed the water but did not go

over. We will carry on and tried to get lift off again. These boats make

it more accessible for more people. Out of the water, that happens

roughly... Did we crashed? I am learning at the moment. We have had

a couple of crashes but it was steady, it did not capsize. The

difference is, normally in a boat, it is a noisy but when you get up on

these boats, it goes quiet and there is this sense of speed and flying

through the air. The only guaranteed way to flip these boats over is back

on dry land. It looks a something out of Star Wars. It is that because

it does have the float so it is a boat but the whole point of this is

we tried to get it to fly. This is the automatic height control. These

gauges how high the boat is out of the water. It will soon be available

for thrill seekers across the UK stop whether you have had sailing

experience or not. You see the America's Cup, it seems hard to get

to that level but with this boat you can take it out and even if as a

beginner you can start straightaway. You should not worry about the boat

capsizing but do be prepared to get rather wet.

These boats will give people the experience of the America's Cup but

at six knots so the danger is much lower. What does it feel like when

he jumps in the air? At first you feel quite scared but once in the

air, it is fine. Does it feel like flying? Absolutely. The sound goes.

It goes quite silent. Very eerie but brilliant. Well done. A very lucky

boy. It's that time of year

when many of us will be starting to think about our summer holiday,

but as we've been hearing this morning some British Airways staff

begin a 16 day strike The airline says most of it flights

will go ahead as planned, but there's bound to be concern

from some passengers. Let's get some clarity now from

the Independent's Travel Editor, Good morning. I have just been down

to Heathrow Terminal 5 where things are fairly calm, only a couple of

cancellations. Everything else I have checked is are going is normal

or rather not quite as normal you may turn up and fly on a different

airline? Kata airway? -- Qatar Qatar Qatar has loads of planes and pilots

and cabin crew on the ground because they are not allowed to fly because

of a row in the Gulf to places like Abu Dhabi and Dubai and Saudi Arabia

say they have loads of planes spare. British Airways was given permission

by the transport secretary to use Qatar Qatar Airways and in the next

two minutes makes light out to Brussels is going to go and the

lucky passengers in business class again to find that instead of

sitting like this in very confined seat they have a 6-foot seven bed

flat. Although it is only an hour across so they will not enjoy that

is too long. No one complains about those. Why are we seeing these

disputes? A brief answer but it all goes back to 2010 and the bitter

British Airways cabin crew dispute. After that BA is said everyone who

joined cabin crew will join out mixed fleet unit - 5500 people. They

have been involved in a very long and bitter dispute over what they

call poverty pay. They are employed on inferior terms and my

understanding is the pay bit has been sorted out what this strike is

about is sanctions that the union says were imposed on 1400 strikers

are taking part in the previous 26 days of strike action. As ever,

thank you very much all your wisdom. You don't need to go abroad for a

holiday, stay in Britain for a useful summer. I am sure in

Edinburgh, as they have just had their wettest June, they probably

won't agree with that in some respects. But yes, it is glorious

out there this morning in the far north-west. Lots of blue sky and

sunshine at the moment. The cloud is on its way, unfortunately, so get up

and off early to avoid it. Looking at Nottingham, quite a lot of cloud

around at the moment which will break up and you will see some

sunshine is to go through the day. So things are looking a little bit

more promising. A bit of drizzle across the extreme south-east from a

weak weather front. Sandwiched between the two is a good deal of

dry weather through the day. This little fellow will produce the cloud

and drizzle into the north-west later on but will not spoil the day.

Much of eastern Scotland should cling on to the sunshine as we go

through the morning and into the afternoon. Not a bad start to the

day as we have seen through that Weather Watcher's picture. Not bad

in Northern Ireland, predominantly dry, and we see across much of

England and Wales are cloudy start this morning but the cloud should

break up and you will continue to see some sunshine. So generally

speaking a promising day. Temperatures will respond so as you

go through the afternoon hopefully the cloud will then and break in the

south-east. A real window of sunshine moving its way across much

of central and eastern England. Our weak weather front producing some

outbreaks of showery rain. So up into the north-west we are looking

at 12 to 18 degrees. With sunshine in the eastern Scotland, 19 or

possibly 20. Highest values of 23 or 24, that is the mid- 70s. It will

feel quite promising. The weather front will matter is way south-east

and we could see some rain just pepping up for a time down across

central and southern parts of England. A bit of a watering for the

garden is, that is good news through Saturday night but it could be

lingering first thing on Sunday morning across the south-east

corner. Maybe a different start to the day here, a scattering of

showers in the north-west. A windy start in the far north of Scotland

but it stays quite breezy, with showers, in the Scotland on Sunday.

The rain clears away and generally speaking not a bad day. A good deal

of sunny weather in the story and temperatures responding. Perhaps not

quite as warm as today but nevertheless not bad at all, 13 to

22 or 23 degrees, the overall higher. It is going to be a dry

story this weekend, some sunny spells around and in the sunshine it

will feel pleasantly warm. I will take that for the first weekend of

July, wouldn't you two? Pretty nice unless you are in Edinburgh!

We will be back with the headlines at 7:00am,

As Farmer Spock called it, good old hydroponics.

In all seriousness, it's been suggested that the type of intense

farming going on here at Local Roots in Los Angeles could help solve

the world's food problems in years to come.

Transport costs can be produced by growing plants wherever

they are needed, even in areas of famine where the land and climate

You get higher volumes and many more crop cycles

Lettuce can be grown in 30 days instead of up to 90 outdoors,

and a new crop can be grown immediately.

All in all, one of these containers yields the same as five acres

It's very similar to the strawberry farm that we saw in Paris

in the spring and in Miyagi in Japan in 2015 where the land had been

But this project has much bigger ambitions and this one is also

using artificial intelligence to make some quite unusual tweaks.

But before we talk about the vegetables of the future,

we are off to San Francisco where Kat Hawkins has been looking

I've come to this lab in the heart of Silicon Valley to visit

They claim to have invented the food of the future,

a completely meatless meat made entirely of plants.

It's actually remarkably important to get that state of mind

perspective but actually it's also useful for interpreting

The aim is to reverse engineer the flavour and texture of meat

And as someone who very much enjoys their meat tasting like meat,

I wanted to find out how they're doing it.

What is it about the flavour of meat that makes it so damn delicious?

Why is it so agreeable, what is it that triggers your mind

There is a lot that goes into that and it turns out that flavour

is about 75 or 80% aroma and about 20 or 25% taste.

Impossible Foods found that the key ingredient that gives

meat its characteristic irony taste is heme,

a molecule found in most living things and especially

So this is your magic ingredient, right?

And it provides the explosion of flavour you get that makes

the difference between white meat chicken with a beefburger.

The company has recently flipped the switch on its meatless

meat-packing factory as it ramps up production.

They will eventually make 4 million burgers a month and the next aim

is to move into chicken, pork and lamb.

But it's one thing being a scientist who's enthralled by food tech

and another to be a chef, using the ingredients produced

I think we eat way too much meat in general.

So I think this is a way to be as close as possible to how meat

The Impossible burger is now the only one Rocco has on his menu

It seems like at this stage it might be a novelty for Silicon Valley

diners with money to spend but of course, as always,

It tastes like mushrooms, but I know there's no

But it doesn't taste quite like meat to me.

Yes, it's a little bit leaner, as a meat.

But it looks like it - it's got that kind of umami flavour

It tasted good as I was eating it but afterwards it left a slightly

strange taste in my mouth - very strong, very irony.

Still, it's healthier than meat and has zero cholesterol so maybe

What comes across talking to Rocco, though, is how important

it is for his customers that the flavour is close to meat

But what if you could serve actual animal flesh without a single

That is what several companies, including this small tech start-up

in the heart of Silicon Valley are working on.

They plan to grow actual fish from stem cells.

It might sound like an unnerving prospect but they believe

Fish consumption is demanding, fish demand is rising

52% of all fisheries are fully exploited.

25% above that are in collapse, they are overextended.

So we only have 23% of the world's fisheries left that we can use

So if we still want to eat fish at the rate that we're eating it,

Finless Foods takes a small sample of cells from real fish

One cell can theoretically become one tonne of fish meat but they're

We'll be on the market in three years with products that

are new versions of fish that people haven't had before and in 5 or 6

years we'll have steaks and filets like the fish that you currently eat

at the supermarket, just like what's inside of the fish that you'd

And they're not the only company working on what some have

Just this week Hampton Creek claimed they will hit the stores

And around the corner at Memphis Meats, they have already

produced fried chicken and meatballs from stem cells.

But at $80,000 for a pound of beef, there's a long way to go.

Scaling up will mean finding a new medium to help grow

Currently, the blood of calf foetuses is used,

which is extensive and of course, if you don't want to hurt

With the population due to increase to 9.7 billion by 2050,

many people feel current approaches to food production

Cultured meat promises to reduce environmental impacts and meat looks

set to be the latest thing to be given the Silicon Valley overhaul.

Much like we expect from our phones, from our cars, that it will be

better, cheaper, faster, safer, year by year,

we should expect the same thing from our food.

But once you start thinking about food, a cow, as a pure piece

of technology, and you apply those same technological insights we use

elsewhere in our lives, you can start really thinking

about what food should be, what food could be.

I think I'll stick to the salad for the moment.

Which is lucky, because I'm surrounded by the stuff.

The thing that really hits you inside one of these containers

It's just lovely, all this concentrated fresh lettuce.

And you don't even get this, I don't think, in an open-air field.

Because it will float away but in here -

I'm inside what is called a food computer, where every aspect

of the plant's growth cycle - the temperature, nutrient mix,

humidity and light is monitored and controlled.

This kind of computer-controlled hydroponics is allowing food

scientists to not just replicate but improve

So every plant that we grow has a finely tuned growing algorithm

to optimise its growth, its yield and its flavour profiles

Not only does each variety get its own unique growing

conditions but artificial intelligence and computer vision

are monitoring the plants, looking out for and treating any

Local Roots hopes to place between 20 and 50 of its so-called

'terrafarms' right next to supermarkets' local distribution

It means the veg won't have to travel so far and it will be

I've always needed a dressing on my salad because I thought it

tasted quite bland without it but this is really full of flavour.

I could even eat an entire bowl of this without any dressing.

But some researchers don't like the idea of individual

companies doing research by themselves.

Putting life in a box is incredibly complex.

It requires biology as much as chemistry, as much as plant

And so right now it's being tackled by a lot of start-ups and it's hard

for those start-ups to have such a multidisciplinary approach.

This is why all of our work is open sourced -

the hardware, software - so we can get people thinking

on the issues and we can ask them for advice.

At MIT's media lab, the Open Agricultural Initiative,

or OpenAg, wants to create a worldwide collection

One of the things that we've invented here we call the personal

food computer and it's like a hacker kit for plants.

What we've done is distributed all the plants, all the materials,

We now have a community of over 40 countries,

The great thing is that their experiences are being

Artificial intelligence can look for patterns among these data points

which are the results of thousands of experiments and the more

wide-ranging those experiments, the better.

We might learn inside of a food computer what set of climate

attributes causes the best expression of protein in a snow pea.

Now we might say, hey, where in the world are these

collections of attributes naturally occurring?

And then we should plant that genetics, those snow peas

So not only might food computers improve on nature

but they could also teach us more about how to get the best out

It will be 20 years in August since Diana, Princess of Wales

Later today, her children, Princes William and Harry

and their immediate family will return to Althorp Estate

In a private service they will rededicate the Princess's

grave on what would have been Diana's 56th Birthday.

We can speak now to royal historian Kate Williams.

A significant moment for Prince William and Prince Harry? It is a

very meaningful day. It would have been her 56 birthday, 20 years since

she died. An important date for the family. In this ceremonial,

remembering the positive, what Diana's life brought to the world. A

leading light in the anti- mining campaign, anti- bullying, all those

things that the printers have continued doing. -- Princes. The

importance of the family and the wider world. The two princes have

been open about the effect that her death had on the two of them while

growing up? We have seen them open up over the past few months. William

talking about how role the grief was and how difficult it was to grieve

in public. And Prince Harry talking openly about how he suffered, how he

could not come to terms until later in his 20s because he could not cope

with it, the grief and pain, thinking about how young they were.

Harry was just 12. A few weeks ago, Harry was saying that he felt being

asked to walk behind the coffin was too much, too much for a child to do

that and we know that he walked to support. Harry was saying no child

should be asked to do this. 20 years this year since she died,

we are seeing pictures of her cough and being taken to the funeral to be

laid at rest. You are a historian. Do we begin to get a sense of how

Diana will be remembered in history? Of the role she has played, even in

death, in shaping the future of the Royal Family? I think Diana is one

of the most significant women and the most significant people of the

20th century. Her impact in terms of charity, in revolutionising the

Royal Family, in being so much more open with people, hugging AIDS

victims and cancer victims, being engaged with the public, that

revolutionised the Royal Family and we have seen William and Harry

continuing that but also her death had the hugest constitutional impact

on the country, on the Queen, on the Royal Family, and it really forced

the Royal Family to make a great change in terms of the way that they

treated people who married into them, and the way they overall

treated the press and the public and their engagement with people.

Because the thing was, Diana was instantly adored when she married

since Charles, she was instantly loved and she was like a movie star

to the people. When she went on walkabouts with Charles, it was

Diana that people wanted to see. That was a real shock to the Royal

Family. They had to recognise that things have to change and they had

to transform in terms of their recognition of what the people

wanted from them. That was engaging close to them, talking to them, and

as William and Harry have done, engaging in these Cinderella causes,

that is continuing what Diana did, not the easy causes but the things

which are most difficult. You mentioned Prince Charles and his

second wife, Camilla, are both observing the anniversary of modern

Canada. Does that remove a potential awkwardness today in terms of this

rededication of Diana's grave? That might have been a private and

difficult moment. Well, yes, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall

are in Canada at present, so they are away from the service and that

service will be the Spencers, the Earl and his wife, and their

daughter, and also Prince William and Prince Harry, conducted by the

Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, so Prince Charles will not be

there, he will be overseas. I am sure Prince Charles has her in his

thoughts and is thinking about her. Thank you very much indeed for

joining us on Breakfast. You are watching

Breakfast from BBC News. London Mayor Sadiq Khan has called

for the government to take control of the council responsible for the

Grenfell tower collapse. One

doctor has been killed and six other people have been injured

after a former employee opened fire with an assault rifle

at a New York hospital. Here is Louise with a look

at this morning's weather. I always love the fact is we learn,

that Edinburgh had its worst June in terms of rainfall. In fact, they

started off with just shy of 60 millimetres in the first three or

four days of June so with the rain we have had this weekend it was

pretty miserable. It was horrible, but we have some sunshine in

Scotland and parts of eastern Scotland will see a decent day. Just

look at Argyll Bute at the moment. Make the most of it. The cloud is on

its way, a different story in the far south-east. Really threatening

looking cloud here but it is heading away from Kent now. Still a little

bit drizzly and you will get some sunshine later in the afternoon. One

of the reasons for this is a weather front which has been pushing its way

across the near continent through the night. Behind it a brief ridge,

quite mean things down, but this little fella will bring more cloud

and rain into the far north-west. So a little bit cloudy and drizzly by

the middle of the afternoon. The winds starting to strengthen but a

good slice of sunshine after a cloudy start. And improving picture

for many of us as we head into the afternoon. Looking at the afternoon

in more detail, eastern Scotland perhaps faring best. Parts of

Aberdeenshire might see 18 or 19 degrees and Edinburgh will see

decent spells of sunshine, outbreaks of drizzly rain around as well. A

similar story into Northern Ireland, perhaps fringing into the Lake

District into the afternoon but heading further inland there will be

some sunshine coming through. We could see highs of 23 or 24 in the

south-east if we are lucky and it will feel quite warm with the

sunshine. The rain is on its way through the evening across the

Midlands and down into the south-east corner of. Some heavy

bursts as well from time to time through the night from this weak

front. That is good news for gardeners and growers. Some rain to

encounter first thing across the south-east corner. Windy in the far

north with some sharp showers developing through the latter stages

of the night. A wind is quite a feature across the Northern Isles.

Blustery, breezy, showery day into the far north-west but once that

cloud clears away we will see some sunshine coming through and

relatively dry and promising, highs likely of 13 to 23 degrees on

Sunday. For those of you who have not realised, it is the start of

Wimbledon into Monday, and there is the potential for this little fella

to bring some showers. We are keeping our fingers crossed they

stay away and do not interrupt play for the start of the Wimbledon

championships. I am sure that is what the players will be keeping

their fingers crossed for as well. Canada is celebrating 150 years

since the British and French bonded It is a little-known fact,

but the declaration of independence was drafted at Highclere Castle,

the real Downton Abbey, back in 1867, because the fourth

earl of Canarvon was friends Ben Moore got exclusive access

to the library there. The libraries of England's grand

houses harbour many secrets. But amongst the 8000 books at Highclere,

better known to viewers as Downton Abbey, was a corker. This was the

birthplace of the nation. At the bottom of this page are three names,

which I didn't really know. John McDonald, GE Cartier and bolt. So

did a bit of research and within one second realised what I was about to

find. John McDonald became the first prime Minister of Canada and lead

this delegation posted by the fourth pearl paint over the year they

drafted the British North America act. Actually quite a bit of the

Constitution was written here in this library. Perhaps they discussed

at around this dining room table, perhaps they stood by the saloon

fire on a cold, wintry day. And I feel so lucky. I discovered it all

by chance. With the government now modelled on the British Parliament,

modern Canada was born on the first of July 18 67. I certainly was not

aware of it, and I don't think enough Canadians were aware. The

setting is hugely important, but it is also the important role of the

people. I look forward to actually having the chance to make sure that

it gets better known. Diaries, telegrams and letters have been

uncovered, adding real colour to these negotiations. UK-based

Canadians invited to the castle were certainly moved. Don't stop! Why is

it so emotional? Well, this is coming home. This is... England is

home to me, even though we have lived in Canada 40 years. It wasn't

just the Constitution of Canada that was drafted in this library. The

name of this new territory was decided as well, although there were

other suggestions. Franklin was one, quickly followed by Guefeleland,

before Lord, than had his way and Canada was chosen -- Lord Canarvon.

Had left a legacy for both countries.

It is a slice of British street life as familiar as black taxis or red

post boxes - the group of smokers huddled outside a pub.

In fact, the smoking ban inside licensed premises

was introduced in England just ten years ago today,

and only slightly longer in the rest of the UK.

In a moment, we will speak to the chief executive

of Cancer Research about the legacy of the ban.

Before that, we asked shoppers in Salford for their views.

The pubs were really smoky, and used to go in and use to end up with sore

eyes. I don't miss that. Putting restrictions on people doesn't

necessarily change things, it just makes it more difficult, that's all.

People will still find a way to do it, so no, I do beginners change

anything, really. On aeroplanes it has been an absolute Lessing. Use a

shudder if you are the row ahead of the smoking area. Everything feels

cleaner, everything feels pressure, and having quit smoking as well,

that was huge for me not be able to go out and be surrounded by the

smell of smoke all the time. I stood out in the cold weather just to have

a cigarette. So I don't go out so much now. If I want a cigarette, I

have one in the house. Let's talk now to Sir Harpal Kumar

from Cancer Research UK. Thank you very much for joining us

this morning. Do you think the smoking ban has... Or how much of an

impact do you think the smoking ban has had, in correlation to the

number of people who are no longer smoking, or taking up smoking? Well,

we have just published new estimate this morning which are that roughly

speaking just under 2 million people, 1.9 million people, have

given up smoking in the ten years since the band, which is a

considerable proportion, actually. It's about 20% of all smokers since

that time -- ban. And smoking rates now are at their lowest level ever

recorded. And what is particularly encouraging is the way that

attitudes have changed over time, so that Italy among young people, the

16 to 24-year-old group, -- particularly among young people. We

are now seeing the lowest growth recorded, and that promises huge

gains, huge health gains in the years ahead. So we think it is very

positive, and the ban has had a profound affect. What tangible

health gains can be measured from this? Well, so we know for example

that smoking causes 14 different types of cancer. Of course, most

people tend to think of lung cancer as the predominant impact of

smoking, what we know it also results in heart disease, and a

whole range of other health conditions. Now, what we also know

is that some of those effects happen relatively quickly. Heart disease

most particularly, and breathing problems. In terms of cancer, we

tend to see the effect up to 20 years after smoking rates change,

and so the real gains that we will see an cancer rates are still to be

seen in the years ahead. And of course, this is and remains the

biggest single cause of all cancers. Indeed, it is responsible for more

than a quarter of all cancer deaths, and indeed, just under a fifth of

all deaths from all causes. So this is profoundly important for society.

People still smoke, even though we hear the warnings, we hear about the

impact it can have on our health, you think there will ever be a time

when it is just not done? Well, we would hope so. And one of the things

that we also think is incredibly important, in celebrating the

success of this smoking ban is to recognise how much further we have

to go. We still have about 8 million adult smokers in the UK, roughly 16%

of the population, and we need continued action. We need continued

pressure, continued government action, to see those smoking rates

continue to come down over time. And one of the things that we are

particularly calling for is for government to publish a new tobacco

control plan. We haven't had one now in England for well over a year, and

it is the first time for some considerable period that we haven't

had dedicated activity to focus on future reductions in smoking rates.

We do need to continue to work at it, because smoking rates don't come

down on the road. But yes, in answer to your question, we do project

forward and think that it is possible to imagine a time when

effectively we are smoke free, by which we mean fewer than 5% of the

population smokes. Thank you very much for joining us this morning. We

were talking about facts earlier. One of the earlier smoking bans,

guess where it was. It was in 1575, one of the earliest smoking bans. It

was a Roman Catholic Church regulation which forbade the use of

tobacco in any church in Mexico. Plenty of incense, I suspect. We are

talking about lots of anniversaries today, the anniversary of the

smoking ban, of modern Canada, and another one today...

As the political fallout over the Grenfell Tower fire continues,

so does the impact on the families who have been left bereaved

In the direct aftermath of the disaster,

many residents voiced their anger at the lack of information

and support offered by the council and government.

her organisation has been helping those affected.

Good morning. A couple of weeks ago now that it happened but in terms of

helping people, how much need is there and what cases are you dealing

with? There is a massive, massive need. I lost my partner a couple of

years ago and I had sporadic, quite inadequate bereavement support, and

that seems to be the case in the UK. It is a lottery. As far as Grenfell

Tower is, I was compelled to get down there on the Sunday after it

happened on the Wednesday. I met the Red Cross and it was pretty chaotic.

Since then I was called by one of the residents. I had a word with one

of the schools and I realised there was a massive lack of support. I

started to speak to residents and survivors after a week and they had

not been offered anything. They were in their pockets but no one was

going in to offer help. What help should be on offer? We're not

talking about the practical side of these, like housing... That has been

dealt with. The good grief trust, the name, good grief... Positive. It

is never again to be good, clearly, but their reason better way to do it

and by bringing people together, under the one roof, this is an

umbrella charities that it brings all the groups together, you click a

button and they come out altogether. How do they know what they need? It

is early on but let me read something to you, a piece of

research to do with psychologically supporting children. Adults

recalling experiences of losing a parent is a child, report being

ignored, isolation and believe what would have helped was an

acknowledgement of their lost and a kind word. Go and find them... I

spoke to a survivor yesterday, she was in one of the hotels, nobody had

come to see her. You have hundreds and hundreds of people which may not

be directly grieving but are certainly traumatised and this will

be going on the years. I spoke to one of the charities, some

specialised in helping children and parents, and they have would a

strategy in place now and it will be ongoing. What sort of strategy? They

will speak to the parents, the children and the staff in the school

and in the wider community so hopefully they can support people in

the schools and communities directly. During the summer

holidays, they will be supporting people in the community. We are

going down to put together projects so people can share their stories.

Thank you for the work you do. We focus on much on the practicalities,

accommodation and food... We put together a health card. At the

moment they only have limited resources... Thank you very much.

Here is Louise with a look at this morning's weather.

Good morning, you were talking to me earlier about how you like my

statistics. I have had a couple of coffees and found the proper

statistics. It was one of the wettest June is on record and you

can see the dark blue denoting rainfall which is more than average,

and you can see that certainly eastern parts and southern parts of

Scotland had some pretty intense rainfall. But we also had some heat,

not too bad across the south-east in particular. You will remember the

extreme heat we had in the middle of the month. Will we get at this

weekend? Not really, it is the beginning of July. A lot of dry

weather around, some sunny spells as well, and if you get the sunshine

for any length of time, it is going to be warm. Taking a look at exactly

what has been happening through the night, this little fella has brought

some cloud and drizzle. A brief lull, and then outbreaks of drizzly

rain as we move through the day. Sandwiched between the two we should

see cloud breaking up so if it is rather dull where you live,

hopefully an improving picture. By the end of the afternoon, this

weather front bringing outbreaks of rain, mostly light and patchy across

Scotland and the winds starting to strengthen. If you cling to the

sunshine you will see some warmth as well, highs of 18 or 19 degrees. A

similar story for Northern Ireland, north-west England and Wales but

anywhere through central and south-eastern areas we will see the

cloud breaking up. With sunshine coming through it should feel quite

pleasant. Generally 19 to 22, we might see 23 degrees if we're lucky

in south-east corner. This weather front will pick up a little bit as

it moves across Wales into the Midlands, ringing heavy bursts of

rain, and it will still be sitting potentially across the south-east

first thing tomorrow morning. So it could be dull, damp start the

south-east. A good excuse for a sleep in on Sunday morning, squally

showers continuing and those showers will stay with us for Scotland

tomorrow. Elsewhere some decent, sunny spells. Louise, I love your

facts. You a bit of a geek, like me? Of course I am?

Now on BBC News it is time for Newswatch, with Samira Ahmed.

Hello, and welcome to Newswatch, with me, Samira Ahmed.

Coming up: Emily Maitlis clashes with Andrea Leadsom on Newsnight.

Is she and other BBC presenters guilty of being too negative,

And is this Government Minister being given too hard a time on BBC

As the aftermath of the West London fire continues to dominate the news

agenda, it has been a tough week for Housing Minister Alok Sharma.

On Wednesday he was faced on the Victoria Derbyshire show

with an emotional group of residents of the Grenfell Tower.

If you don't give me a permanent accommodation,

I'm not just going to take anything else you give me.

if you give me a house I don't want, I am not going to take it.

I work hard, I work hard, I had a good house.

Right, you know what, we will come to you,

Sid, I promise. I promise.

Some viewers told me they felt Victoria Derbyshire lost control

of the conversation, with Michael Bailey e-mailing...

Well, we mentioned last week another BBC item about the Grenfell Tower

fire, which had incurred the wrath of some viewers.

An interview with the Prime Minister conducted by a Emily Maitlis.

The Newsnight presenter has done a number of attention-grabbing

interviews recently, and last Friday she was involved

in another spiky encounter, this time with the Leader

It was a year to the day since the vote for Britain to leave

the European Union, and the preparations for Brexit

You've got a negotiating position which is completely unclear.

You're hearing that from the President of the EU

You've got a political system which is unstable.

What can you point to now and say, that's going well?

European politicians are actually very keen that we keep a strong

relationship going forward, and that's what we're going to do.

And it is actually the elected politicians who are the important

You haven't even got a deal with the DUP on the table.

They're laughing at us, and saying they can walk all over

Well, that's blatantly not true, is it?

Angela Merkel said it was an interesting start.

We had Mark Rutter saying he was quite positive

We had various different EU politicians, the elected

politicians, saying it's a good start.

Of course, it's very early days, but it would be helpful...

It's been a year, it's been a year...

It would be helpful if broadcasters were willing to be a bit patriotic.

This Government is determined to deliver on that decision.

Are you accusing me of being unpatriotic for questioning how

negotiations are going, questioning whether you have the position

of strength that she said she wanted?

Andrea Leadsom denied calling Emily Maitlis unpatriotic,

but some viewers thought the general point being made by the former

Conservative leadership candidate was a fair one.

Another viewer, Tony Wright, recorded this video for us,

Please, BBC, can you rein in Emily Maitlis?

She should be taught how to hold a civil conversation.

Most of her hapless subjects are subject to a barrage

of contentious, inflammatory, aggressive, and often insulting

I have no great love of politicians, but I have to commend them

for holding their temper during a typical Maitlis interview.

She interrupts so much that the people are never allowed

And that, for us, the viewers, doesn't allow us to make a judgement

of what they're actually trying to say.

The interview is therefore pointless.

Well, with me right now is Ian Katz, the editor of Newsnight.

The reference that Andrea Leadsom made to patriotism has been much

mocked, but some viewers say she really did have a point

about the focus of Brexit coverage being relentlessly negative.

The first thing I should say is that I thought

it was an excellent accountability interview.

I think - I'm sure there are some viewers out there who will agree

I think the vast majority of people who saw it will think that calling

an interviewer unpatriotic when they ask some awkward questions
