the talent will remain whether or not that is translated to the not that'is translated-tothe where the people really community where the people really them. the - of this from may is statement from theresa may is deliberately empathetic. she's trying to says she understands what has happened and the magnitude of it she understands what the people and my government will deliver need and my government will deliver it for you. - are trying to it for you. they are trying to defend their actions and to convince people that they are - all they can, but whether the corn possibly can, but whether the com munity buys into that and believes it remains to be seen. 0k, alex for that site at ten downing st. thank you very we learned i lot the

" yesterday, she visited the scene of the fire at grenfell tower and met of those who have lost friends some of those who have lost friends and neighbours. it had clearly made and neighbours. it had clearly made a deep impression. she said, "i have been profoundly struck by the immediate inclination of people throughout the country to offer comfort and support to those in need. those quote she went desperate need. those quote she went on, "put to the test, the uk has been resolute in the face of adversity." her birthday parade went

ahead. it had all the familiar components. the footguards marched and shook the colour of the irish gurads and the royal family appeared on - palace balcony, where prince on the palace balcony, where prince george as usual stole the show, gazing down at the crowds and then as the raf fly—past appeared, up at the sky with his sister. but this was no ordinary trooping. this was a year when the head of state reflected the country's feelings of shock and grief. ajudge in the united states has declared a mistrial in the case of the entertainer bill cosby. the reason given has been that the jury is deadlocked. the star was facing three counts of aggravated indecent assault, after so many accused him of being a

catalytic sexual predator, bill cosbyis catalytic sexual predator, bill cosby is free now to go home from court. the jury cosby is free now to go home from court. thejury did cosby is free now to go home from court. the jury did - acquit him court. thejury did not acquit him but they couldn't unanimously agreed to convicting either. we came here foran for an acquittal, but like looking for an acquittal, but like that rolling stones song says, you don't always get - you you get what you need. sometimes. you get what you need. god bless you all that happy father's day. the mistrial was celibate is like a victory by bill cosby supporters. what you say to those people, the sexy woman who came forward and accused him? —— those 60 women who came forward and accused him? back in his heyday, bill cosby was the most prominent african—american, the highest—paid actor and undoubtedly a trailblazer. of the dozens of women who came qf the dozens of women whocame saying he sexually assaulted most couldn't go to trial them, most couldn't go to trial because it was so long since the alleged incidents took place. one case was heard in court, though.

brought by andrea constant, a former university for now, bill cosby walks free. there is the question that he may be tried again. there is no doubt that this american father figure has now been tarnished. shortly, we will be speaking to someone who was in that court case and witnessed events as they developed. events are taking place across the country this weekend te mark the firstanniversary— e r w e v v v . the great get together, as it's called, has been organised by her family. the idea is forfriends, neighbours and others they don't yet know to spend time with each other. fiona was in yorkshire

earlier, in jo cox's this has been the focus of the events this weekend, because it is in the old constituency ofjo cox. people told us they wanted to come together, be neighbourly, and show he explained why events like this are so important. i thinlt ftar us it was thinlting’ ""’ w ’ ' " legacy and the things she cared about. the thing that drove jo was about bringing closer she wanted to build a community. she wanted to bring people together of different types and backgrounds. of the response there's been. i think what that shows is just the sense that the country's crying out for these

moments of togetherness. we spend so much time talking about the things we disagree on. i think people want that balance. the sense of how muchjo cox was loved in her local community. a man saying he remembers her coming here with her grandad. members of the family saying that ifjo cox was here today, she would have loved an event like this, everybody coming together, and she would have been in and around the stalls. she probably would have known everybody here by name.
