On BBC London News tonight - so it's goodbye from me | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
two weeks on from the Grenfell Tower disaster - | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
a traumatic account from one survivor. | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
Got my daughter on my back, like, choking. | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
My missus is dropping on the floor, and trying to pick | :00:16. | :00:23. | |
Her up. I'm in North Kensington looking at how people are coping and | :00:24. | :00:32. | |
the questions they want answered. We'll have the latest | :00:33. | :00:33. | |
on the investigations. 1,200 jobs to go at Tesco's | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
head office in Hertfordshire - And driverless vehicles | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
move up a gear - could they really help | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
deliver your weekly shop? Welcome to the programme | :00:44. | :00:54. | |
with me Riz Lateef. Two weeks on | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
from the Grenfell Tower disaster - one survivor has told us | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
that he is more traumatised now Olu Talabi who lived on the 14th | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
floor says he's not sure how he got but he escaped | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
with his four-year-old daughter Now he hardly sleeps, has nightmares | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
and his voice is still damaged He feels devastated | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
about the people left behind. He's been speaking to our | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
reporter Tarah Welsh. When I saw the other side | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
of the building was kind of burning. I didn't want my girlfriend | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
or my daughter to When Olu woke to find his | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
building on fire, from his 14th floor flat, | :01:36. | :01:43. | |
he only saw one way out. That's when I started tying | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
all the bed sheets together. I already opened the door | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
and I saw the smoke. There was no way I was going | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
to through that smoke. I was dangling from | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
the window and I tried... I told my Mrs to | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
pass me my daughter. She was thinking, | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
what are you doing, like? And I didn't want to | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
look down because I His neighbours pulled | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
him back inside. The firefighters had brought five | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
people into his flat that night He inhaled a lot of smoke | :02:14. | :02:26. | |
and lay down on Olu's bed. Basically, he just told us to run. | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
Everything was dark. As I went through that | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
smoke, I was thinking, There's no way I'm going to make | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
a downstairs through the smoke. I don't know if I would have made it | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
through the stairway. I'm not going to lie | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
to you, I gave up already. Inside of me, I couldn't | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
see what was there. I gave up already. | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
I got my daughter on my back. I could feel myself | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
taking my last breath. My Mrs was dropping on the floor | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
I was trying to pick her up. I don't know what | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
she was tripping on. I didn't think | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
I was going to make it. I don't what damage | :03:07. | :03:14. | |
this has done to me. I don't know if, | :03:15. | :03:27. | |
in a year's time, I don't know what this | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
has done to me. Since that night, he's learnt that | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
only one person and his family And, as the days | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
go on, he learns of more friends and neighbours | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
that are missing. The one that has affected me | :03:47. | :03:47. | |
the most is the little boy. Because I can still | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
picture him on my bed. And Tarah is in | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
North Kensington this evening where some of the residents met | :03:53. | :04:08. | |
with the Housing Minister? What you've got to remember is | :04:09. | :04:21. | |
people have this emotional, physical distress to deal with but they are | :04:22. | :04:31. | |
also homeless at the same time. Olu is sharing a hotel room with his | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
daughter and partner and he just wants a permanent home. The Housing | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
minister was here this morning and you might have seen Olu confront him | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
with the issue. The housing minister had a private meeting with the | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
residents. Olu says he feels that his voice has been heard but we will | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
have to wait and see. So many people have questions. I walk is -- a whole | :04:59. | :05:06. | |
wall is dedicated to them. Things like, where is the money going? And | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
how many victims are there? Let's pick up on the wider picture | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
with our political editor Clearly so many unresolved | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
political questions here. At Prime Minister's Questions, the | :05:15. | :05:31. | |
first one of the new session, all six questions used by Jeremy Corbyn | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
on this subject. When will there be an enquiry? When there will be a | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
judge in place? What influence will the people involved have an | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
influencing the enquiry? Is the government running out on a pledge | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
to rehouse people by next Wednesday. The housing minister said that he | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
would do that. Some people are saying they are well behind on that. | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
Not just the police investigation but all the questions that have been | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
raised. Design of buildings, safety, risk assessments which go well | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
beyond Grenfell Tower. Where are we on safety across the capital? We | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
know about ten councils are involved. The national pictures 120 | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
blocks have been tested and have all come back as failing these tests for | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
this cladding issue. The Prime Minister said today, don't wait for | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
the tests to come back. You can make an assumption that you need to get | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
urgent safety checks done by the Fire Service of these blocks that | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
are likely to fail these tests. Continuing problems in Camden, we | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
have heard that Lewisham have two blocks. Yesterday, we were reporting | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
that this goes well beyond cladding. All kinds of issues. Yesterday, we | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
were reporting about the Shepherd's Bush fire where there were issues | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
around the window panes. The panels around the windows. 33 London | :07:08. | :07:15. | |
boroughs having letters sent indicating they should look whether | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
these designs were evident there. Hammersmith have said they will be | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
removing these panels. The issue continuing to distress the community | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
in North Kensington, around the numbers of dead and missing. Housing | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
minister faced a number of people today and there is this sense that | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
people feel that nobody is being frank and open about the numbers of | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
what's happened. Reconciling the numbers of missing with the number | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
dead and the number that could potentially have been living in this | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
blog. A briefing from the police indicates today that 106 people have | :07:56. | :08:06. | |
been contacted out of hundred and 29 properties. There are 23 people that | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
haven't been contacted. It is getting closer to clarity. | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
Meanwhile, there are also residents, not from the tower block itself, | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
but in the immediate area who are struggling. | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
As Alpa Patel reports, many don't want to go | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
back to their homes, but some are continuing | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
to live without basics like gas and hot water. | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
This tower sits in the shadow of grateful. Lives have changed here | :08:35. | :08:43. | |
since that awful night two weeks ago. Inside we meet a family who | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
haven't had gas or hot water for a fortnight. That's because the boiler | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
that serves their building and several others was underneath | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
Grenfell and was completely destroyed. It's been very hard. Hot | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
water is the main thing we need for washing. Especially when you have a | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
little child. Have people come here and spoken to you about what is | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
going on with gas and water? Except the community, no. No one from the | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
authority. Across the way, we meet Thomasina. She is in a hotel with | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
her three-year-old son. Even when hot water and gas is turned on, she | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
says she won't return back to Barrington Walker. Her view, more | :09:33. | :09:42. | |
than just a reminder. I get anxious. I don't like it. I feel really | :09:43. | :09:50. | |
uncomfortable. Just the memories starting to sink in. Every time I | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
put my head out, people screaming, "Help! We have baby!" Joe Delaney | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
filmed at this the night of the fire. He is currently living in a | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
hotel and went return home until his safety concerns are answered. | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
Officers and fire crews are this far from the tower as I am and they are | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
wearing hard hats. No one on the block has been issued with hard | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
hats. They do this thing where you hear three whistles every now and | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
again and you see their staff moving back from the tower. The body has | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
told us what that is for and why they are doing it. We had to ask. | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
They say there are risks of things falling. All pretty much any others | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
are doing are coping. The Grenfell Tower action group say a temporary | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
boiler has been installed and hopes to have it working by Thursday. | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
Public Health England say... We also asked about the stability of | :10:57. | :11:08. | |
the tower. The police did not specifically answer our questions. | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
Two weeks, day-to-day life continues to be a struggle for those living | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
here. And later we'll have | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
an update on the relief effort and what's happening | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
in terms of donations. and construction began today | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
on the new business district Nearly two billion pounds is being | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
invested by Chinese developers. There was concern | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
that it might be in doubt Counting cranes is an odd hobby | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
but if you do you have a sense It's not 100% accurate but then | :11:39. | :11:47. | |
nor are the economists. This so-called crane count suggests | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
investment is still coming into London and new buildings | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
are going up. Nowhere more so than here beside | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
City Airport and the Royal Albert Dock with a good and the great mark | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
the first day of construction. A ?1.7 billion Chinese investment | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
in London providing 30,000 jobs, something which could easily become | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
the third commercial hub of London. The plans are bold, | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
the model is shining and the signs are encouraging, | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
it will be well connected, but I was here four years ago | :12:22. | :12:29. | |
when this was first announced Then it was all about an Asian | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
gateway into the EU here in London which is a bit awkward now | :12:33. | :12:40. | |
we are leaving. I put that point to its | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
Chinese backers today TRANSLATION: Compared | :12:44. | :12:45. | |
to the situation four years ago I think we are at a more | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
advantageous stage. Although there is Brexit, Britain | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
is more independent and mature and it also shows more confidence | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
in the British economy so there will be more cooperation | :13:02. | :13:03. | |
between China and the UK What of recent fears | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
by the Bank of England no less that our commercial property | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
is too pricey? Are we also in danger of building | :13:11. | :13:11. | |
too many offices They are trying to attract | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
companies from Asia, so what they are trying to do | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
is create something additional. But given where we are, | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
the price and anything else, this is a fantastic place to come, | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
I am not worried here. I think other people should be | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
worried about the competition He also assured me no golden | :13:30. | :13:31. | |
handshakes were offered. A gilt-edged investment | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
or a risky bet? Supermarket giant Tesco | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
says it's cutting 1,200 jobs - or a quarter of the staff - | :13:43. | :13:52. | |
at its head office in Hertfordshire. We can find out more | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
from Caroline Davies I imagine that many people leaving | :13:56. | :14:14. | |
Tesco HQ here tonight will have the announcement on their minds. It was | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
announced that 1200 jobs here and at Hatfield would be lost, quarter of | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
all jobs. There have been more than 10,000 job losses at Tesco since | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
2014. It's because the company is in the middle of a massive turnaround | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
operation, trying to save 1.5 alien pounds in costs. We heard from Tesco | :14:39. | :14:46. | |
that they thought it would simplify the business. What sort of | :14:47. | :14:54. | |
challenges our supermarkets facing at the moment? The minimum wage has | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
gone up. Supermarkets are paying more to their staff, an additional | :15:00. | :15:10. | |
cost. If you are trying to bring in goods from outside the UK, it's a | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
lot more expensive. Spanish strawberries cost a lot more than | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
they used to because of the strength of the pound. This is unlikely to be | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
the last of job losses here. Caroline, thank you for that update. | :15:27. | :15:34. | |
A school in South London that was praised by numerous | :15:35. | :15:36. | |
government ministers has had its funding cut | :15:37. | :15:38. | |
Durand Academy in Stockwell has had a controversial | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
history with investigations into its spending | :15:42. | :15:42. | |
Today the government wrote to them to confirm the money | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
Karl Mercer's here with more details. | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
This is a school with a chequered past? | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
Cast your mind back seven years, in 2010 it was flavour of the month. | :15:53. | :16:03. | |
When Michael Gove wanted to trump up the academy programme. He went here | :16:04. | :16:12. | |
to announce plans. So Greg Martin, the headteacher was very well paid | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
but the school also ran a trust, a leisure centre on the side, he was | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
taking home something like ?400,000. Some of these arrangements didn't go | :16:23. | :16:29. | |
well with the education authorities and the National Audit Office. They | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
said that they needed to break arrangements with so Greg Martin who | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
went upstairs and became chairman of the trust. The school themselves | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
said they didn't want to do it. It has come to the crunch. The | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
government said they didn't take the situation lightly but it has | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
followed multiple breaches by the trust, they said. Any response from | :16:52. | :16:59. | |
the school? Not yet. In 2060 when the government said they were first | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
minded to do this. -- 2016. They said that the campaign had been | :17:06. | :17:13. | |
misrepresented and they were going to fight it. This means that the | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
academy trust and built on the school any more and the government | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
will have to find somebody opts to do it. | :17:23. | :17:24. | |
They've been tested on the streets of Greenwich already - | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
but are driverless vehicles about to move up a gear | :17:29. | :17:30. | |
and help deliver your weekly shopping? | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
One supermarket says it could be greener and more efficient. | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
Here's our transport correspondent Tom Edwards. | :17:36. | :17:37. | |
Is this how supermarkets will deliver in the future? | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
This is called a cargo pod | :17:45. | :17:45. | |
It uses sensors to detect and avoid other vehicles | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
and pedestrians and, today, photographers. | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
These pods have safety stewards on board and they | :17:58. | :17:59. | |
are being tried out on this new development in Woolwich. | :18:00. | :18:01. | |
As cities become more congested, those behind | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
the scheme think these could be the answer. | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
The movement of goods via automated vehicles in the cities is | :18:08. | :18:09. | |
Creating cleaner, safer, and more efficient mobility in the city | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
What the technology gives us is a greater diversity of | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
We will still have white vans carrying the | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
decorating materials, whatever else, but they will be different types of | :18:24. | :18:25. | |
Greenwich is trialling autonomous vehicle technology. | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
These self driving pods have been carrying | :18:30. | :18:31. | |
It's being funded by the government and industry. | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
And Woolwich, in particular is a huge growth area | :18:37. | :18:48. | |
with the development of Crossrail and for us, in terms of those | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
increased numbers of people, we need to find better ways to use our | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
space, giving priority to pedestrians | :18:55. | :18:55. | |
and cyclists and other people. | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
And I think this technology really is enabling us to think about | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
how we are moving people and goods in the urban environment. | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
So, why are supermarkets interested in further | :19:08. | :19:09. | |
Isn't this really about cutting jobs and costs? | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
Customers can get their orders, potentially, at times when | :19:13. | :19:14. | |
we can't currently provide them to them. | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
As a company, we've always been using technology and automation | :19:18. | :19:19. | |
to do what we do and we've always been finding the next thing to | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
automate and, yet, over our history, our workforce has just continued to | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
grow and grow because we are always expanding. | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
So, it's not the end of the white van man? | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
I very much doubt that for the foreseeable future. | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
That's going to depend on lots of things far beyond the | :19:39. | :19:40. | |
That's going to depend on how the whole autonomy landscape | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
This services some years away but Greenwich is now at the | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
forefront of self driving technology and discovering what it could offer. | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
For more than a century this has been | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
the main entrance to the Victoria and Albert museum, but now there's | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
another - and with it some extra gallery space. | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
It's all thanks to a new 55-million pound redevelopment. | :20:08. | :20:09. | |
It's the largest building project undertaken in | :20:10. | :20:19. | |
the Victoria Albert Museum in over 100 years, allowing visitors | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
to enter the grounds from a new entrance on Exhibition | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
Road, which is home to some of the most important tourist | :20:29. | :20:30. | |
I think that when they walk in will see a lot of jaws drop | :20:31. | :20:38. | |
We get a much more informal entrance to the visitor. | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
You have, over on Cromwell Road, quite a traditional, | :20:43. | :20:44. | |
almost cathedral like entrance to the museum, which can be quite | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
We will be able to contrast that with this, which will be much more | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
The new entrance and gallery have been created by carefully weaving | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
modern architecture with ancient features, much of which | :21:01. | :21:01. | |
haven't been visible to the public for many years. | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
In Victorian times when the museum was set up, this was where | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
There were really tall brick chimneys where the shop is now. | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
I remembered this moment halfway through the project | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
where we took the scaffolds down and it was like we were in | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
The work we've done here is so diverse. | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
The work detailing scheduling every single stone so it can be | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
These beautiful manufactured porcelain tiles. | :21:32. | :21:39. | |
All of those things are exactly what is our mission here. | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
It's a museum of art and design and manufacture and that is exactly | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
And the changes don't stop above ground. | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
A brand-new gallery has been constructed underneath the courtyard | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
which will host some of the museum's biggest exhibitions. | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
Something that just has been purpose-built and designed to house | :21:58. | :21:59. | |
A free week-long festival will mark the opening of the new entrance | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
Bringing its creators say the city into the museum and taking the V | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
Let's return to our top story now - it's two weeks on from | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
the Grenfell Tower Fire - and back to Tarah who's | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
This is the centre that many people came to for help on that first day. | :22:24. | :22:41. | |
Many people slept here. It's still the place that people come to for | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
donations, food, and money and to have a conversation with friends and | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
neighbours. The Red Cross have been overwhelmed by people's generosity. | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
100 lorry loads of donations. Things that haven't been given out are in | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
their shops and the money from their selling will go to the Grenfell | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
residents. They tell me there is still plenty of work to do here. | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
This is the first part of the journey. The Red Cross will be here | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
as long as needed. We will be supporting people as long as they | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
are needed in the community. We are currently on outreach advising | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
people what is available here and providing some support in the | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
community as well. Two weeks on, still such a sense of shock and | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
sadness here. I imagine that will go on for many weeks, months, some | :23:37. | :23:47. | |
people's kohl lives. People have lost whole families. One gentleman I | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
was speaking to sobbed while he read the memorials. He said his children | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
had lost school friends and how can he tell them why? Indeed. Thank you. | :23:57. | :24:08. | |
Time for a check on the weather with Darren Bett. | :24:09. | :24:16. | |
It was a better day today but yesterday was abysmal. The rain | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
eased off a little by the time I left work. This was what we had | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
yesterday. Pretty grey skies. At least it was much drier. Over the | :24:29. | :24:36. | |
next few days, we should see a glimpse of sunshine at least. Making | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
it feel a bit warmer. For the most part, a couple of days of dry | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
weather. Today was much drier, as we said. The wettest weather further | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
north. Some showery bursts coming along the south coasts could wander | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
northwards. On the whole, tonight should be dry. A lot of cloud | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
around. We've yet to break up the cloud to any great extent. | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
Temperatures aren't going to fall a great deal from the miserable high | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
temperatures of today. 12-13 minimum temperatures towards the end of the | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
night. Tomorrow may not look quite as gloomy. Skies brightening from | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
time to time. Not much. As it turns warmer, maybe a fuchsia was through | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
the afternoon. They could be on the sharp side. Temperatures are bit | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
higher than today. It looks brighter still on Friday. A bit more sunshine | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
around. Winds are quite liked as well. We will see a few showers as | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
we head into the afternoon. More especially into the evening. Some of | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
these could be heavy with the odd rumble or two of thunder. | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
Temperatures climbing. Nearer the mark for the time of year. It's been | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
so wet across here and western Europe because of low pressure in | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
charge. A lot of thunderstorms in Europe. The rain will be creeping | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
away and we're going to find our weather coming in from the Atlantic | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
as we head into the weekend so it will be drier, brighter and it will | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
feel warm when the sunshine comes out. We may start with a bit of rain | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
first thing on Saturday morning but it will clear away and there will be | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
some fine weather through the weekend and highs of 23 or 24 | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
sausages. That sounds nice. Darren, thank you very much. A reminder of | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
the day's six men are to be prosecuted in | :26:35. | :26:45. | |
connection with the Telstra disaster -- Hillsborough disaster. People | :26:46. | :26:54. | |
believe that 80 people died in the Grenfell Tower disaster. The real | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
figure may not be discovered until the end of the year. The intense | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
heat means that some of the dead may not be identified. Labour have | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
welcomed a cap on public executive pay. Tesco is to axe 1200 jobs. A | :27:11. | :27:18. | |
quarter of the staff at its head office in Hertfordshire. Part of a | :27:19. | :27:24. | |
major is cutting dry. And the creator of Paddington Bear author | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
Michael Bond has died at the age of 91. He published his first | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
Paddington book in 1958 while working as a BBC cameraman. That's | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
it from BBC London for now. Plenty more on the website. We'll be back | :27:40. | :27:44. | |
with the late news. Have a lovely evening. Goodbye. | :27:45. | :27:54. | |
Across the country, 11 million people | :27:55. | :27:56. | |
But how would their landlords manage living as tenants? | :27:57. | :28:04. | |
It's helped me appreciate that decisions we make | :28:05. | :28:09. |
