:00:00. > :00:11.Here on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.
:00:12. > :00:16.A number of businesses, politicians and institutions have
:00:17. > :00:19.joined forces to send a strong message to the Government,
:00:20. > :00:24.calling upon it to protect London's interests during talks over Brexit.
:00:25. > :00:28.They argue London has specific needs and it must have access
:00:29. > :00:32.Our Brexit Reporter, Katharine Carpenter,
:00:33. > :00:35.has been to a business in east London which was today
:00:36. > :00:38.celebrating a very special honour bestowed on it -
:00:39. > :00:46.This family have been smoking salmon in London for over a century.
:00:47. > :00:54.It's now a cultural artefact, protected by European law.
:00:55. > :00:58.It's the same status that champagne has, and Parma ham.
:00:59. > :01:02.It really puts London up there with great foods.
:01:03. > :01:05.So our food can compete with Europe, but can our city
:01:06. > :01:14.32 officials have signed up to an open letter to the Government,
:01:15. > :01:18.asking it to bear in mind London's specific needs when it comes
:01:19. > :01:23.In particular, it wants to see a stable transition period
:01:24. > :01:26.with access to the single market, so businesses can plan.
:01:27. > :01:29.It wants to see a liberal migration policy so there
:01:30. > :01:34.And a deal which will mean it is easy to trade goods
:01:35. > :01:39.I don't think this letter will dramatically change the course
:01:40. > :01:41.of Brexit overnight, no, of course not.
:01:42. > :01:46.But it is just one walkway to keep...
:01:47. > :01:48.To keep the conversation going, to make the voice
:01:49. > :01:53.He says there has been a drop of European students signing up
:01:54. > :02:04.If we don't have a trade deal, many businesses in London will not
:02:05. > :02:15.Accountants won't have their qualifications recognised. Airlines
:02:16. > :02:16.won't be able to travel between the countries.
:02:17. > :02:18.Intellectual property rights may not be recognised in film and TV.
:02:19. > :02:22.Many vital services may not be able to trade if we do not have a good
:02:23. > :02:24.trade deal in place, a good transition.
:02:25. > :02:25.Back in the smokehouse, the Environment Secretary
:02:26. > :02:28.was sampling the fish, while the ambition to get a good
:02:29. > :02:37.He said that Brexit will afford opportunities.
:02:38. > :02:41.I think the object is to resell ourselves and to rebrand
:02:42. > :02:49.There is an irony that you're celebrating an honour given
:02:50. > :02:55.by the European Union, a body you campaigned to leave?
:02:56. > :03:01.And we have been in business since well before the EU came
:03:02. > :03:07.into being, and we were unaware that was going to happen.

:03:15. > :03:18.Like everything else in this process, that has
:03:19. > :03:24.Our reporter Louisa Preston is with me.
:03:25. > :03:27.Calls for the Mayor of London to be allowed to be more involved
:03:28. > :03:38.That's right. We know many prominent figures in London are extremely
:03:39. > :03:43.concerned about the city in these negotiations. They are very
:03:44. > :03:46.concerned about businesses. It could be very damaging, with up to 70,000
:03:47. > :03:53.jobs going just in the financial sector. A report today specifically
:03:54. > :03:56.says that the mayor, Sadiq Khan, should have a prominent input in the
:03:57. > :04:02.negotiations, and he definitely wants a foot under the table. He's
:04:03. > :04:09.said that. But the EU Brexit cheap, Michel Barnier, says he'll only
:04:10. > :04:13.negotiate with the UK Government. But today Jeremy Corbyn met Michel
:04:14. > :04:17.Barnier, giving him an Arsenal shirt today with his name on it. We are
:04:18. > :04:22.told that went down well. And he met the Scottish and Welsh first
:04:23. > :04:25.ministers. But with EU nations relying heavily on the City of
:04:26. > :04:32.London for their financial needs, and Michel Barnier saying in the
:04:33. > :04:33.past, it would seem likely that Sadiq Khan will have some say at
:04:34. > :04:35.some stage. Thank you. A parliamentary vote on plans
:04:36. > :04:38.to expand Heathrow Airport has been delayed further,
:04:39. > :04:41.until at least next year. In a statement, Transport
:04:42. > :04:43.Secretary Chris Grayling said June's general election
:04:44. > :04:46.had led to the postponement. A Commons vote is expected
:04:47. > :04:52.to take place next year. The Queen has opened
:04:53. > :04:54.the Metropolitan Police's New Scotland Yard is now based
:04:55. > :04:58.at Victoria Embankment. The old headquarters
:04:59. > :05:01.were sold for hundreds of millions of pounds,
:05:02. > :05:04.and will be turned Last week, the Home Office announced
:05:05. > :05:11.a 12-month amnesty for illegal immigrants who'd been living
:05:12. > :05:14.inside the Grenfell Tower Investigators believe 350
:05:15. > :05:20.people were officially living there at the time,
:05:21. > :05:24.but it's not known how many more people may have been staying
:05:25. > :05:28.in the block when the fire started. We may never know how many illegal
:05:29. > :05:31.immigrants lived in Grenfell Tower, She agreed to speak
:05:32. > :05:38.to us on the condition What support have you received
:05:39. > :05:43.since the night of the fire? I'm not paying the rent and I'm not
:05:44. > :05:56.supposed to be in the tower. Investigators believe
:05:57. > :05:59.that around 350 people were living inside the tower,
:06:00. > :06:02.but residents like Rhea were not registered,
:06:03. > :06:04.and it's not known how many other people were in the same situation
:06:05. > :06:07.and whether they are among those Last week, the Home Office granted
:06:08. > :06:36.a 12-month deportation amnesty But with a young son
:06:37. > :06:41.in the UK and a family to support in the Philippines,
:06:42. > :06:43.she still has fears Her friend and her daughter
:06:44. > :07:17.both managed to escape They have since been
:07:18. > :07:20.discharged from hospital. But the ordeal has
:07:21. > :07:23.deeply affected Rhea. How have you coped with the trauma
:07:24. > :07:26.of surviving something as horrific That was an illegal immigrant
:07:27. > :08:01.speaking to our reporter. An aristocrat has been sentenced
:08:02. > :08:04.to 12 weeks in prison after being found guilty of making
:08:05. > :08:06.menacing communications towards the businesswoman and
:08:07. > :08:08.anti-Brexit campaigner Gina Miller. Rhodri Philipps - the 4th
:08:09. > :08:10.Viscount St Davids - wrote a post on Facebook offering
:08:11. > :08:13.?5,000 to anyone who ran her over. The 4th Viscount St Davids,
:08:14. > :08:20.Rhodri Philipps, forced to answer for his threatening
:08:21. > :08:23.abuse on Facebook. Well, justice will be

:08:34. > :08:45.who took the Government to court over Brexit,
:08:46. > :09:01.writing: At first, I sort of read it
:09:02. > :09:04.and re-read it, because it seemed so barbaric, but that was the first
:09:05. > :09:08.time that I felt truly threatened. Lord St Davids was given the chance
:09:09. > :09:12.to speak to the court in person and, in a passionate speech,
:09:13. > :09:15.he said he realised that his comments were very unkind,
:09:16. > :09:19.unnecessary, self-indulgent expletives of anger
:09:20. > :09:22.which he could not contain. He'd claimed he was motivated by his
:09:23. > :09:29.family motto, love of country. The district judge, Emma Arbuthnot,
:09:30. > :09:33.said it was actually hatred of anyone who disagreed

:09:46. > :10:12.find out what the weather's up It's not too bad, is it? 23 degrees
:10:13. > :10:16.today, and that was despite quite a bit of cloud across the capital and
:10:17. > :10:22.surrounding area. This was sent in late in the day, a lovely end to the
:10:23. > :10:25.day. It doesn't have to be sunny, does it? It doesn't look as though
:10:26. > :10:30.it will be quite as cool as last night, certainly comfortable. Just
:10:31. > :10:33.the outside chance of a light, drizzly shower in the north of the
:10:34. > :10:39.region tomorrow morning, but otherwise it looks a decent today.
:10:40. > :10:44.Despite starting on the cool side, the sun comes out and the afternoon
:10:45. > :10:49.looks fine for the men's semifinals. 22, 20 three Celsius, strong
:10:50. > :10:52.sunshine. Friday night and into Saturday, more chance of picking up
:10:53. > :10:57.the odd drizzly shower. A week weather front drapes itself to the
:10:58. > :11:01.north of us, but still lots of dry and bright weather. The outlook, it
:11:02. > :11:04.has been very hot in Spain, as and bright weather. The outlook, it
:11:05. > :11:06.has been very hot in Spain, as you may have seen. We could get some eat
