:02:14. > :02:20.external cladding was not up to the standard that we wanted and was not
:02:21. > :02:23.fire retardant. Obviously this was very disappointed and we share that
:02:24. > :02:27.disappointment with our residents. We've had a public meeting on
:02:28. > :02:33.Thursday with residents were they concerned about fire safety that I
:02:34. > :02:37.hadn't been aware of. I immediately asked council staff and Fire

:02:42. > :02:51.could -- they said they could not confirm
:02:52. > :02:55.safety. I have made the difficult decision to move residents into
:02:56. > :03:01.temporary accommodation while we were make urgent changes. I know it
:03:02. > :03:05.is difficult but Grenfell changes everything and we cannot take risks
:03:06. > :03:13.with our tenants' safety and have put them first. We made the decision
:03:14. > :03:19.to move people into temporary accommodation, probably, about two

:03:44. > :03:47.residents? People are on the ground now talking to residents, working
:03:48. > :03:50.with them, do you move them to the rest centre. It's happening

:09:47. > :09:51.Qatar has been asked to curb trade relations with Iran. And close the

:09:59. > :10:03.there is Al Jazeera, supported by Qatar's government, one of the most

:10:38. > :10:40.state has not released to the public or the Qataris the details about the
:10:41. > :10:46.claims they are mating towards Qatar. The list has been made public

:10:57. > :11:06.As we heard that, closure of Al Jazeera is one of the main demand. I
:11:07. > :11:13.spoke to the Mark Bell Shabbat, a young senior journalists and
:11:14. > :11:16.spokesman for Al Jazeera and said if they are worried about closure. Not
:11:17. > :11:21.at all. We have grown accustomed to this pressure that has been exerted
:11:22. > :11:26.on us ever since the inception of Al Jazeera, more than 20 years ago. We
:11:27. > :11:32.were the first Independent news network in the Arab world, as a
:11:33. > :11:35.result because we continue to speak truth to power and provide
:11:36. > :11:41.information to the citizens not only now of the Arab world but the entire
:11:42. > :11:46.globe, there are governments who have probably the worst track record
:11:47. > :11:50.of human rights, the worst track record of respecting freedom of
:11:51. > :11:55.expression and information, and all other human rights. They insist on
:11:56. > :12:01.cracking down on us. We have grown accustomed to that. We will continue
:12:02. > :12:04.our message which is clear, to provide balanced, quality
:12:05. > :12:10.information and news to our viewers wherever they may be. It is their
:12:11. > :12:15.right, enshrined by the UN Charter for human rights, the Freedom of
:12:16. > :12:18.information, it is something we held sacrosanct regardless of what other
:12:19. > :12:22.political developments are going on, those are four different countries
:12:23. > :12:27.to deal with between themselves. As Al Jazeera, as journalists, the
:12:28. > :12:31.message is clear and that is sacred. It is a message we will continue
:12:32. > :12:36.regardless of what happened. Have you reported the criticisms of
:12:37. > :12:41.Kabsa, made not only by the Gulf states but also by others
:12:42. > :12:47.previously, that it has funded militant groups from sunny or Shia
:12:48. > :12:54.side? We have reported news whenever it has happened. I myself have done
:12:55. > :12:59.report on the board treatment of migrant workers in Qatar and the
:13:00. > :13:11.need for the Qatar government to improve the condition. But reports
:13:12. > :13:15.in other Qatar funded groups are not providing any evidence from less
:13:16. > :13:20.time of the journalist perspective, they are meaningless. It's a duty of
:13:21. > :13:25.institutions and the journalism industry that they don't announce
:13:26. > :13:30.propaganda that is being pushed by certain Gulf countries either
:13:31. > :13:35.through e-mails of ambassadors in Washington or other institutions
:13:36. > :13:38.they have bought out or to correspondence like we saw who was
:13:39. > :13:40.sacked from the Wall Street Journal in the past 24 hours, that we
:13:41. > :13:47.shouldn't be peddling out that propaganda. At the risk of showing
:13:48. > :13:51.these props is not so great, here are some of our internationally
:13:52. > :13:55.recognised awards. This is the Peabody award which Al Jazeera one.
:13:56. > :14:03.This is the Royal television Society award. Al Jazeera is acknowledged by
:14:04. > :14:04.all the major institutions, by all our viewers as being quality

:14:21. > :14:22.incident at a water park Its thought three children,
:14:23. > :14:28.and two adults who tried to rescue Ozge Ozdemir from the BBC
:14:29. > :14:35.Turkish gave more details. Three children right now, while they
:14:36. > :14:40.were swimming in the pool, though of electricity and the owner of the
:14:41. > :14:46.pool and his son tried to jump in the pool to save the kids, so
:14:47. > :14:49.unfortunately five of them have died. There were a couple of other
:14:50. > :14:54.people trying to help them, they were also trying to jump to be pool
:14:55. > :14:59.but they understood there was electricity in the pool, so they had
:15:00. > :15:03.some minor injuries. But the thing is that unfortunately five people
:15:04. > :15:07.have died. We don't want to speculate about exactly what has
:15:08. > :15:11.happened here, it is absolutely tragic obviously. Do we have any
:15:12. > :15:16.idea about the safety precautions that were in place there or the
:15:17. > :15:24.safety record Germany? The news agency, one of the biggest ones in
:15:25. > :15:28.Turkey, they are reporting about the cables around the pool, I guess
:15:29. > :15:31.there were some restoration that was going on over there. So
:15:32. > :15:35.unfortunately right now we don't know the real reason, but the
:15:36. > :15:40.speculation is that there were some cables and that was one of the
:15:41. > :15:42.reasons for that. Is that those kind of accidents, everyone right now on
:15:43. > :15:47.social media are talking about the neglect in that kind of event.
:15:48. > :15:51.Beforehand, maybe not that kind of an accident but we also know that
:15:52. > :16:00.there was such were some accident and funfairs, some children died
:16:01. > :16:03.because of the precautions not being taken so seriously. So those kind of
:16:04. > :16:07.accidents can be talked about in Turkey.

:23:30. > :23:41.I will be interesting. I think the all Blacks win by five
:23:42. > :23:47.or ten points. The all Blacks have not lost a game at the stadium since
:23:48. > :23:52.1994. For those of us who are not rugby legends, can you explain to us
:23:53. > :24:00.why this is such an incredible moment? It is. I was fortunate in
:24:01. > :24:05.1986, going back a few years, we won the cup against the all Blacks in
:24:06. > :24:16.New Zealand. It's not an easy feat to do and we haven't won since. It's
:24:17. > :24:21.a bit like to the English or Cardiff Arms Park to the Welsh or
:24:22. > :24:24.Murrayfield in Scotland. That is a tradition, that's what Eden Park is
:24:25. > :24:30.to the all Blacks, where they win everything, why they play games
:24:31. > :24:35.there. There's something about the ground. Some sort of tradition or
:24:36. > :24:39.this is where we started, this is where we have laid our bodies on the
:24:40. > :24:46.line to win. That is why it is such a hard place to play. But again,
:24:47. > :24:51.anything is possible. The French did it in 1994. So in that year, the
:24:52. > :24:55.Springboks had a draw with the all Blacks. It can be beaten but again,
:24:56. > :25:02.you have to play your best rugby on the day. The all Blacks are a great
:25:03. > :25:05.team, the best in the world. They've got great skills, and great
:25:06. > :25:09.individual playmakers, guys who can create something from nothing. But
:25:10. > :25:15.in the Lions you also have great players as well. It's one of those
:25:16. > :25:19.Test matches where you'll sit there and watch on the edge of your seat
:25:20. > :25:23.for 80 minutes. But I think that's the tradition of rugby, why the
:25:24. > :25:28.British Lions get so much attention around the world, is the only chance
:25:29. > :25:35.from players from Ireland who beat the all Blacks but the Welsh and
:25:36. > :25:39.Scottish have a chance to beat the all Blacks in one team. Sam
:25:40. > :25:44.Warburton was left out, what do you make of that? I think that shows you
:25:45. > :25:46.the of players he has. When you have players who are performing, it
:25:47. > :25:55.doesn't matter who is captain, the coach will have players on form. He
:25:56. > :26:01.has a good scrum, a great set of back rowers, and that what happened.
:26:02. > :26:09.If you don't perform, you get kicked out. Stay with us.
:26:10. > :26:18.Hello there. World weather stories seem to have been dominated by
:26:19. > :26:19.extreme heat. More on that in a
