:02:47. > :02:53.is a serious offer, a fair offer that will give the reassurance to EU
:02:54. > :02:56.citizens living in the UK. One-to-one attempts
:02:57. > :03:03.to sell her plans. But citizens who have lived
:03:04. > :03:06.in the UK for five years can remain for good,
:03:07. > :03:08.and until we leave the EU, But her EU rivals have
:03:09. > :03:12.plenty of questions. What about Spaniards now in the UK

:03:17. > :03:19.when the Brexit process started? Or the moment when

:03:22. > :03:23.ministers at home be ready Are you getting a clear idea
:03:24. > :03:30.of the kind of Brexit We want to be sure that the rights
:03:31. > :03:40.of citizens are protected. Could be a lot of our citizens not
:03:41. > :03:48.covered with Mrs May's proposal. She might not have gone far enough
:03:49. > :03:51.here, but for many at home, It gives 3 million EU
:03:52. > :03:58.citizens in the UK certainty about the future of their lives,

:05:21. > :05:28.after the referendum, that all the EU nationals should be
:05:29. > :05:34.given permanent residents' rights. Concerns over these proposals

:05:58. > :06:03.not just fending off enemies. Theresa May, at least today,

:06:20. > :06:22.discussed. There has also been talks on the economy, defence and
:06:23. > :06:27.migration. Let's pick up on that issue with Catherine Woollard who is
:06:28. > :06:34.the secretary here. Thank you for joining us. There is a lot of
:06:35. > :06:38.dealing with this at the source, can you explain to our viewers how this
:06:39. > :06:42.is meant to work. That is about tackling the root causes of forced
:06:43. > :06:45.displacement, there are more people forcibly displaced than any point in
:06:46. > :06:51.history and tackling the causes about, be it conflict and other
:06:52. > :06:54.reasons, is the only way in the long-term to tackle displacement.
:06:55. > :06:58.You can imagine a story where this may work in 15 years or 20 years.
:06:59. > :07:04.Can it make a difference in the much shorter term? There are measures to
:07:05. > :07:07.be taken immediately in terms of offering opportunities, investment,
:07:08. > :07:10.development for people so they have some prospects where they are, and
:07:11. > :07:20.measures such as bringing conflicts to Anand. -- bringing conflicts to
:07:21. > :07:25.Anand. Talking to the Austrian Chancellor, he is third he is not
:07:26. > :07:29.happy about the fact there is still not an agreement over the EU over
:07:30. > :07:34.where migrants go when they come here. One part of the solution we
:07:35. > :07:38.believe to be essential is an agreement among the member states on
:07:39. > :07:42.solidarity, meaning a collective response. The numbers of people
:07:43. > :07:48.arriving and numbers that Europe could manage, but it can only manage
:07:49. > :07:54.them collectively. At some EU summits, they talk about unity, but
:07:55. > :08:01.it is elusive? We cannot give up. Problems take time, and I think the
:08:02. > :08:05.alternative suggesting blocking access within Europe is a short-term
:08:06. > :08:09.fix, and it will not work in the long-term. There is an argument that
:08:10. > :08:14.a simple block such as the deal struck with Turkey is more effective
:08:15. > :08:19.than the long-term investment ideas than we have seen promoted recently.
:08:20. > :08:23.We can see the appeal of these and the agreement such as the ones with
:08:24. > :08:27.Turkey. I think they are very dangerous for the youth. It was the
:08:28. > :08:33.EU at the mercy of the counterparts in those agreements, so all that is
:08:34. > :08:37.needed to create a crisis in Europe is for those countries, Turkey, as
:08:38. > :08:42.you mention, to release people. The power lies with them. Another issue
:08:43. > :08:47.is the risk countries follow suit and block access to protection. Mind
:08:48. > :08:53.scent of refugees are not in Europe. They are in the same, rather fragile
:08:54. > :08:57.countries such as Kenya, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey itself. It is a risk
:08:58. > :09:03.that those countries refuse to continue hosting refugees and they
:09:04. > :09:08.are forced out. Thank you very much. We appreciate it. The EU summit has
:09:09. > :09:12.come to the end. All of the leaders from across the EU have gone back to
:09:13. > :09:20.their respective countries, but while they may be going away from
:09:21. > :09:24.borstals, the issues of Brexit negotiations are not going anywhere
:09:25. > :09:28.at all. No, it is very much in flux. Thank
:09:29. > :09:31.you very much. This one will run and run, I think!

:10:17. > :10:19.where they began to race up and across the outside of the building.

:10:25. > :10:27.on what was added to the tower during its refurbishment.
:10:28. > :10:31.Aluminium cladding and foam insulation.
:10:32. > :10:33.And right from the start, police wanted to know how

:11:00. > :11:09.The cladding and insulation simply should not have burned so quickly.
:11:10. > :11:12.Instead of a fire which devoured the tower, the damage should have
:11:13. > :11:15.been little more than this - a fire in Camden in 2012,
:11:16. > :11:19.So the police test have thrown up a string of questions.
:11:20. > :11:26.The materials used are under suspicion.

:11:48. > :11:49.charges, breaches of health and safety, or even corporate
:11:50. > :11:56.For several decades now, councils have been

:12:31. > :12:36.All we want is some strong reassurance.
:12:37. > :12:39.There's a lot of, shall we say, stressed people at this

:13:06. > :13:08.that was there for whatever reason, we need to know.
:13:09. > :13:15.We have some breaking news now from Turkey where it seems there has

:13:23. > :13:28.Ozge Ozdemir joins me from the Turkish Service.
:13:29. > :13:37.What do we know about what has happened? Two children, while they
:13:38. > :13:42.were swimming in the pool, there was this electricity, and the owners of
:13:43. > :13:45.the pool and his son, Jay jumped into the pool to save the kids.
:13:46. > :13:51.Unfortunately, five of them have died. There were a couple of other
:13:52. > :13:55.people who were trying to help them. They were also trying to jump in the
:13:56. > :14:02.pool, but they understood there was electricity in the pool, so they got
:14:03. > :14:06.some minor injuries. Unfortunately, five people have died. We do not
:14:07. > :14:12.want to speculate about exactly what has happened. It is tragic,
:14:13. > :14:15.obviously. Do we have any idea about the safety precautions that were in
:14:16. > :14:24.place, or the safety record generally? One of the biggest news
:14:25. > :14:30.agencies in Turkey are reporting that there were some cables around
:14:31. > :14:34.the pool, I guess there were some restoration going on, so
:14:35. > :14:37.unfortunately right now we do not know the real reason, but the
:14:38. > :14:43.speculation is there were some cables, so that was one of the
:14:44. > :14:45.reasons. But those sort of accidents, for example in social
:14:46. > :14:52.media, they are talking about the neglect in that area. Maybe not that
:14:53. > :14:57.kind of an accident, but we know that there were some accidents at
:14:58. > :15:04.fun fairs, some children also died because of the precautions were not
:15:05. > :15:07.taken so seriously. So there are accidents we can talk about like
:15:08. > :15:14.that in Turkey. Thank you very much indeed.

:16:23. > :16:30.It is the worst political crisis in the Gulf region for decades.
:16:31. > :16:34.Now Qatar has been given just ten days to comply
:16:35. > :16:39.with a list of demands, if the blockades are to be lifted.
:16:40. > :16:43.Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain

:16:56. > :16:59.diplomatic and trade relations with Iran.
:17:00. > :17:02.Another demand is the closure of a Turkish military base,

:17:05. > :17:13.the network is one of the most widely watched Arabic channels.
:17:14. > :17:16.According to the list of demands, Qatar must shut down the channel
:17:17. > :17:22.That presumably would include its English network, too.
:17:23. > :17:24.Qatar has been subject to more than two weeks
:17:25. > :17:27.of unprecedented diplomatic and economic sanctions.

:18:42. > :18:46.are one of the first independent news networks in the Arab world, and

:18:51. > :18:55.provide information to the citizens, not only of the Arab world but of

:19:05. > :19:08.freedom of the expression and information and all other human
:19:09. > :19:12.rights, really, they insist on cracking down on us. We have grown
:19:13. > :19:19.accustomed to that. We will continue in our message. That is clear- to
:19:20. > :19:26.bring quality information and news to our viewers wherever they may be.
:19:27. > :19:31.This is a right in the human... And it is something that we hold sacred,

:19:42. > :19:45.as journalists, our message is clear, we hold its sacred, and it is
:19:46. > :19:48.the message we will continue regardless of what has happened.
:19:49. > :19:58.Have you reported the criticisms of Qatar, made by many, that it has
:19:59. > :20:06.funded militant groups from sunny sites? We have reported news

:22:16. > :22:20.After a few weeks of getting to know each other, the Lions must now face
:22:21. > :22:24.the toughest test. Warren Gatland has named an attacking side against

:23:23. > :23:27.the Lions' Kiwi coach. I thought rugby was invented in New Zealand. I
:23:28. > :23:32.did not think the all Blacks could be beaten, so I did have an impact
:23:33. > :23:36.on me in 1971 when the Lions beat the all Blacks. That was the first
:23:37. > :23:42.time I realised the game was played in other parts of the world as well.

:24:55. > :24:59.Although there was a bit more security and a bit more time
