Good afternoon and welcome to BBC London News. | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
The BBC has learned that at least one person who survived | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
the Grenfell Tower fire has been diagnosed with cyanide poisoning. | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
12-year-old Luana Gomes was treated for the effects | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
Her parents lost their unborn baby after the fire. | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
Although it's not known what caused the poisoning, | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
they believe it may have been the burning of insulation | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
This was the home of the Gomes family, on the 21st | :00:37. | :00:45. | |
They've been living in a hotel since their release from hospital. | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
Andrea Gomes was seven months pregnant and the baby was stillborn | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
by Caesarean section, while she and their daughters | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
The family allowed BBC Newsnight to film their | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
Their 12-year-old's diagnosis details cyanide poisoning. | :01:02. | :01:08. | |
Her mother and sister were also treated for the risk of cyanide. | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
This is the first confirmation of a cyanide poisoning diagnosis | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
The highly toxic gas may have been released by the burning | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
of insulation or plastics during the blaze. | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
The Gomes family direct their ire at whoever made the decision | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
to place cheaper fire retardant cladding on the tower. | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
Very angry with them, because it could all have been avoided. | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
And that's where the anger really stems from. | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
Yes, it was an accident, I'm sure it was, but it | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
It shouldn't have happened like this. | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
The residents never wanted the cladding in the first place. | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
I don't know if it's the right word, but you just killed so many people, | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
and you just killed my son because, if he was in a normal situation, | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
I could have gone out, and he was seven months. | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
There's babies that survive less but, | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
because of the conditions, he passed away. | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
The family has requested a full postmortem examination on their son | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
They should have been celebrating his birthday next month | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
and they'd already decided to name him Logan. | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
Businesses, universities and politicians from around | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
the capital have joined forces to demand London's interests | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
Today they've published an open letter to the Government saying it's | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
vital the city keeps its access to EU talent. | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
The letter is based on research carried out | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
It also recommends London's Mayor forms a coalition with mayors | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
from cities such as Manchester and Bristol to put pressure | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
We think that there's a lot of common interest there. | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
They have big student populations, they have big service-sector | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
economies, they have regional airports to depend on access | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
We think there's common causes to be made between the mayors | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
Sadiq Khan, working with those other mayors, to make a case | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
for an urban Brexit that works, to government. | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
The Queen has opened the Met Police's new headquarters. | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
New Scotland Yard is now based at Victoria Embankment. | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
The old headquarters were sold for ?300 million pounds | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
and will be turned into luxury flats. | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
Think of traditional East End dishes and perhaps smoked salmon doesn't | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
Well, London cure smoked salmon has just become the first product | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
in the capital to be awarded protected status, | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
just like Whitstable oysters or Cornish sardines. | :03:46. | :03:46. | |
This isn't just a tasty lunch, it's now a cultural artefact. This family | :03:47. | :04:03. | |
has been smoking and preparing salmon in east London for well over | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
a century, and now its products are being predicted by EU law. We are a | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
fourth-generation family is this that started in 1905, we've always | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
been based in east London and this part of town is the Home Office -- | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
the home of salmon smoking. The smoking salmon all happened in | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
London. The fish itself came from Scotland. What is the award you've | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
been given, and why does it matter? It's the same state as that | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
champagne and Palmer Hamm have, so it puts London up there with those | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
great foods. There is an irony that you are here today celebrating an | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
honour given to you by the European Union, a body you have fought tooth | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
and nail to leave. There are a number of ironies, but we have been | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
a business since 1905, well before the EU came into being, and it was | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
an award that was going. If the British government had its own | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
awards scheme, we would have done that. We apply for this thing four | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
years ago. Nobody knew there was going to be a referendum on Europe. | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
The Secretary of State for the environment, Michael Gove, Saint -- | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
came to celebrate with the foremans disabled but nobody can tell them | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
yet if they will -- retain their protected status. But today was | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
about confidence in the future and pride in the past. | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
She was a Hollywood star, best known for her role | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
as Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind. | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
But today, fans of Vivien Leigh may get a glimpse into her life | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
Jewellery, paintings and furniture belonging to the actress | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
are going under the hammer at Sotheby's in Mayfair, | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
Vivien Leigh was one of those very rare British actresses who was able | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
to conquer Hollywood during the 1930s, most notably | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
when she was cast in that role that would go on to define her career. | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
To tell us more about that and what's happening | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
here at Sotheby's, I'm joined by David McDonald. | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
A very accomplished actress, but one role in particular | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
That role, of course, Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind. | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
I have here her own shooting script, Vivien's own script from that film. | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
And, of course, we have to open it to look at one line in particular, | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
and that is, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. | :06:33. | :06:41. | |
We learn that it's not just about Scarlett. | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
This is a woman of incredible depth, intellectually, artistically, | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
and obviously the ultimate actress, a woman who transcends so much. | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
Thank you very much for showing us around. | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
The family have decided to part with around 250 items that | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
belonged to Vivien Leigh, and some of them aren't that | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
This cigarette box will set you back ?400 and, if your pockets | :07:04. | :07:12. | |
are a little bit deeper, the script from Gone With The Wind | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
will set you back something around ?2500 to ?3500. | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
Now it's time for the weather, and Elizabeth's at Wimbledon for us. | :07:23. | :07:34. | |
How is it looking? Not as sunny as it has been. | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
Yes, a little bit cloudier today, but they looked more comfortable for | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
eating strawberries and cream in and last week. -- but a lot more | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
comfortable. The cloud hasn't put off these people on Henman hill. Now | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
enjoying the centre court action. Johanna Konta is second up to date, | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
and she'll be playing Venus Williams, and the weather going to | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
be kind. It would be too hot or cold and it should stay dry. For the rest | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
of the afternoon, some sunny spells. Always plenty of cloud, but turning | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
bright, I think. We'll see highs of 22-23, and only a minuscule chance | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
of one or two showers. Hardly worth mentioning for Wimbledon. This | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
evening and overnight, increased amounts of cloud. It should be a | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
fresh, comfortable night's sleep. Lows of around 12 or 13, but it will | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
turn cloudy tomorrow morning. A small chance of some drizzle, so a | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
grey start to the day. Tomorrow morning, plenty of cloud around and | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
a chance of a bit of drizzle. I don't think anything is going to | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
fall. The cloud will thin and break into the afternoon to give lots of | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
good spells of sunshine. Tomorrow, it is the men's semifinals, and it | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
should stay dry for all the action on centre court, and we won't need | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
the roof on. Temperature is a bit lower, 21-22, because of a | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
north-westerly wind. It will be hotting up again at the weekend. On | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
Saturday and Sunday, temperatures creeping up into the mid-20s, always | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
plenty of cloud, some sunny spells, and let's hope it's Johanna Konta | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
backs playing on Saturday afternoon. Fingers crossed! | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
Riz Lateef will be here at 6:30 with our evening programme. | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
There's plenty more news travel and weather on our website | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
at the usual address bbc.co.uk/london. | :09:28. | :09:28. | |
But, from all of us on the lunchtime team, have a great afternoon. | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
When I think of the world we inhabit, everyone will think, | :09:33. | :09:48. | |
Yeah. And it wasn't, it was done by hand | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
over days and weeks and months and years. | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
It was always a very, very deep love affair | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
between this incredible, wonderful, glorious music | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
and that's why we merged with the Liberals. | :10:04. | :10:11. | |
ordinary people can make a big difference. | :10:12. | :10:17. |
