this is bbc news. the headlines at eight: 600 high rises across england are being checked after the grenfell disaster. flammable cladding has already been found in seven buildings. one london borough has started to remove it. here's what the residents think: just scared, really, scared. every night, i'm awake, just thinking about it. i do know, ijust feel like i don't want to live here any more. theresa may's first eu summit since the election — she has an offer on the rights of eu citizens in britain. donald trump says he does not have any secret recordings of his conversations with sacked fbi directorjames comey. an inquiry finds that senior figures in the church of england colluded with disgraced former bishop peter ball, who abused young men. tributes are paid to makram ali, named as the man who died in the finsbury park terror attack. and in the next hour: harry speaks

out. prince harry remembers walking behind his mother's coffin and says no child should have to do that. and boys at a school in devon wear skirts to lessons in protest at not being allowed to put on shorts in the heatwave. good evening, and welcome to bbc news. ever since the grenfell tower disaster last week there's been one question uppermost on our minds — how many other tower blocks are at risk? around 600 high rise buildings across england have cladding and checks are being carried out on them. already seven buildings in four local authorities have been found to use flammable cladding. our home editor mark easton has been to camden in london where the council has decided to remove the cladding. the consequences of the grenfell tower tragedy are spreading across

the country got hundreds of samples of cladding similar to that used north kensington are being tested from tower blocks and other public buildings. cladding on seven blocks in four local authorities have come back as combustible so far, including here on the charcot estate in camden a few miles from the grenfell tower tragedy. on the chalcott estate in camden a few miles from the grenfell tower tragedy. this resident is horrified to learn his block has exactly the same panels on the outside. just scared really. scared full every night i am awake, thinking about it. i have not stopped talking about it. none of the residents have stopped talking about it since that day. these blocks have non—come after the fibre installation behind the cladding. as of now fire wardens will patrol 2a

hours a day until every panel has been removed. council says it was misled about the fire resistance of the cladding. we never felt the need to take off the panels and have them tested to watch them burn. we thought we were dealing with reputable companies. we feel let down and our tenants feel let down. our priority is to make sure our tenants feel safe. this test put on by one company a few years ago shows the difference between external wall insulation material. noncombustible on the left and combustible plastic based on the right. it is illegal in some countries to use combustible cladding and insulation in tower blocks but not here. combustible cladding is not banned. government building regulations permit its use even on woer blocks like this one. it is used on hundreds of public buildings all over the country. one question, are

the regulations good enough? as the government confirmed that panels from 600 high—rise buildings are being tested for combustibility, the prime minister was repeatedly asked about the legality. was cladding of the type used in grenfell tower compliant with the fire safety and building regulations applicable at the time when the refurbishment was undertaken? yes or no? they are testing the cladding on the building and they expect to make the results of this public in the next, i think, in the next 48 hours. the cladding on the tower is a standard product that is available for sale. i do not understand why the prime minister cannot tell us whether that product is compliant with building regulations for a tower that is this high. remember there is a criminal investigation taking place in relation to this matter. the testing of the cladding, the testing of the

materials used is being undertaken and a statement will be made by the police and the fire service within the next 48 hours. tower blocks in plymouth have also been found to have combustible cladding on the outside as the scandal widens. today, the chief executive of kensington and chelsea was forced to resign over the council's handling of the tragedy, an event which looks destined to become a watershed moment for fire safety regulation. with me now is professor kuldeep virdi, emeritus professor of structural engineering at city university of london. thank you for being with us. let me ask you first, what can you tell us about the cladding itself? from what i have read, the cladding has two materials — one that is for improving the appearance of the building and the second, i understand, was there to improve the

performance in cold weather or whatever. so insulation? yes, to improve the performance of the building from the environmental point of view. seven buildings have an identified as having this particular cladding, and action has been taken pretty much immediately to try to take it off, but meantime, these buildings are subject to co nsta nt these buildings are subject to constant supervision to watch for any signs of fire. people are taking it that seriously now, and yet they weren't beforehand. is itjust g re nfell tower weren't beforehand. is itjust grenfell tower that is changing people's view in the profession?” think a disaster like this is bound to have that sort of effect. if it we re to have that sort of effect. if it were a smallerfire, to have that sort of effect. if it were a smaller fire, people would say it is due to this reason that. in this case, it was clear that the material was combustible. the speed

with which the fire spread indicated that, and i think the tests being done at the moment will almost certainly confirm that this was combustible. it is taking a risk to have combustible material around the building bust up all the things we do infire building bust up all the things we do in fire safety are aimed at preventing the spread of fire. —— around the building. all the things we do in fire safety are aimed at preventing the spread of fire. according to our report, this cladding is used in hundreds of buildings, not necessarily those where people will be sleeping at night, but certainly ones where people work on a daily basis. night, but certainly ones where people work on a daily basism night, but certainly ones where people work on a daily basis. it is u nfortu nate people work on a daily basis. it is unfortunate that it needed this disaster to say that this is not the right approach. the tests showing that —— right approach. the tests showing that -- if right approach. the tests showing that —— if the tests show that this material is combustible, it has been a great risk. and the difference at

the moment is that buildings like the moment is that buildings like the one we are in at the moment have sprinkler systems, as do hotels and officers. apparently, these tower blocks didn't, and that may not be a solution for every situation, but do you think it is one that now will become inevitable? i think it will become inevitable? i think it will be the case, and i think in a previous fire, there was a recommendation that all the buildings like this should be fitted with sprinklers. the principle is, if there is a fire, it stops it from spreading. and the cladding wouldn't be such an issue if the sprinklers we re be such an issue if the sprinklers were able to suppress a fire before it got to the outside? yes, i think thatis it got to the outside? yes, i think that is the case. what do you hope will come out of this case in terms of our broader attitude towards structural safety? we should

consider all applications. one stage is fire, but another wrangle is to improve the thermal insulation of buildings. we should consider all aspects before putting a product on aspects before putting a product on a building. thank you for your time. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages, at 10:40 this evening in the papers. our guestsjoining me tonight are laura hughes, political correspondent for the telegraph, and randeep ramesh, chief leader writerfor the guardian. they will doubtless want to talk about theresa may's visit to brussels this evening. she's been meeting with the twenty seven other european leaders for the first time since the general election. she won't be doing any negotiating today, but all eyes will be on what effect her weakened position at home will have on her status abroad. today, the president of the european council, donald tusk, said he dreams of getting britain to stay

in the eu, as our political editor laura kuenssberg reports. no victory lap, no majority, no expectation of an easy ride she comes here with plans for eu citizens here and at home. how can you carry on with your version of brexit when the mandate you desired to strengthen has weakened? i'm pleased to be at the european council following the constructive start of negotiations for the united kingdom to leave the european union. what i am going to be setting out is how the united kingdom proposes to protect the rights of eu citizens living the uk and see the rights of eu citizens in the uk protected. —— and see the rights of uk citizens in the eu protected. eu citizens already in britain will be allowed to stay. a lot more will be said across the table before there is anything like a detailed deal. the uncertainty after the election has allowed some eu enthusiasts to ponder if brexit will really happen.

the european union was built on dreams that seemed impossible to achieve. so, who knows? you may say i am a dreamer, but i am not the only one. in this political circus, with its stalwarts and rising stars, all must parade, if not wink for the waking cameras. there is not expectation that britain will change its mind, but some may sniff more of a chance of getting the uk to listen. i hate brexit from every angle. my dream would be that we will come to an end state, or an intermediate end state, for the coming years in which the united kingdom with stay connected to the internal market. translation: for me, the priority

is shaping the future of the 27 countries. that comes before brexit. leaving the european union, they took nine months to write a letter to trigger article 50. the situation now was so easy and without consequences. we are waiting. the prime minister asked for your votes to give more power among these leaders and back home. that has backfired so badly that they cannot be sure that she will be the one to see the deal through. commiserations perhaps among those few who put themselves to the public test. theresa may's pain in this moment could be a taste of what is ahead. despite turmoil at home, the government is trying to crack on with this process. the brexit secretary has been to italy, spain, poland and latvia as a warm up act. the mood here amongst the other 27

eu leaders is pretty optimistic, upbeat and buoyant, and that is a combination of things. first, the presence of the emmanuel macron, seen as presence of the emmanuel macron, seen as the bright new hope, someone who managed to win an election convincingly by giving a really pro—european message, so there is that. they also feel they have made substantive that. they also feel they have made su bsta ntive process that. they also feel they have made substantive process on substantive issues, such as defence. the 27 today agreed to a new permanent cooperation mechanism on defence and will spend the next three months looking at criteria for what sort of joint missions they could cooperate on, and there will be a new european defence fund which will streamline the process of developing and buying new equipment. jean—claude juncker made the point that eu nations have around 19 different types of tang, and a us only has one. he says that will make things more efficient. ——

of tank. theresa may will say a few words at the end of dinner to update leaders on her position after the election, and to talk about the principles behind the offer she will make on the rights of eu citizens living in britain after brexit. adam, in brussels, thank you very much. the family of the man who died in a terror attack outside a mosque in north london say he was a gentle and peace—loving grandfather. makram ali, who was 51 and from haringey, was struck by a van in finsbury park on monday night. a post—mortem examination has found that he died from "multiple injuries". our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford, reports. it now seems clear that makram ali was killed in the attack. his death from multiple injuries can only have been caused by the van. 51 years old, he moved to britain from bangladesh at the age of ten. he had six children and two grandchildren. we wish everyone to know what a lovely man he was.

he spent his whole life without any enemies, choosing a quiet life instead. we as a family have always believed that the actions of one person cannot be a reflection of a whole people. and i have no doubt that our father would not wish for there to be any retaliation or recriminations, and would urge people to remain calm and to pray for peace in these difficult times. makram ali suffered from a weak leg and had collapsed that night on the way back from the mosque. he was being helped in this cul—de—sac a few yards from his home, by other worshippers, when the white van sped round the corner and crashed into them. the van with its distinctive yellow logo was hired in pontyclun near cardiff on saturday. police are asking for information on its movements over the weekend, and for people who spoke to the driver. we need to hear from those people — what conversation did

they have, what do they know about this person? and that 48—hour period is incredibly important. but of course if you knew him in the days and weeks leading up to this attack, please come forward — we want to hear from you too. 47—year—old darren osborne from cardiff is still being held on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and terrorist offences, but he has not yet been charged. daniel sandford, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news: tests are carried out on the cladding on 600 high rise blocks across england, following the grenfell tragedy. theresa may's first eu summit since the election, she has an offer on the rights of eu citizens in britain. donald trump says he does not have any secret recordings of his conversations with sacked fbi directorjames comey. sport now, and for a full round—up, let's croos to the bbc sport centre.

england's under 21 team are on course to reach the finals of the championships in poland. they are already i—o championships in poland. they are already 1—0 up with half an hour gone. crystal palace, are close to appointing frank de boer the former netherlands player has been offered thejob, and negotiations are at an advanced stage. it is understood de boer has said palace are his preferred club. he's set to succeed sam allardyce, who left after helping palace avoid relegation from the premier league last season. de boer has been out of work since he was sacked by inter milan in november 2016, after only 85 days in charge. johanna konta has been knocked out

of the aegon classic in birmingham. it's been a historic day, for irish cricket — as the country celebrates their admittance into test cricket. ireland and afghanistan, will be able to play official tests, against the world's best, after the decision by the international cricket council, at the oval today. if you think of how seldom members ascend to the ranks of full membership, it is notjust months or yea rs membership, it is notjust months or years but decades. it shows how exacting the criteria are, and it shows in terms of what we have achieved, not just shows in terms of what we have achieved, notjust on the pitch and not just for these men achieved, notjust on the pitch and notjust for these men have achieved

oi’ notjust for these men have achieved or in one format and are notjust men or women, on or in one format and are notjust men oi’ women, on and or in one format and are notjust men or women, on and off the pitch, and it is right that the game confers full membership on members who have taken the trouble to ensure that they are achieving in all parts of the game. the game wants to make sure it is elevating those members that aren't going to be a drain on the game's resources but will help the game's resources but will help the game's resources but will help the game grow globally. ascot saw a thrilling finish to the big race of ladies day, with big orange winning the gold cup. order of st george, who won last year's race, couldn't repeat the feat. big orange took the lead, with a mile and a half to go. with less than a furlong to the finish the favourite order of st george, made a move, but james doyle guided the 5—1 shot to victory by a nose. two mclaren drivers will start the azerbaijan grand prix at the back of the grid after engine penalties. that includes fernando alonso, who

will start ahead of his team—mate. the engine was upgraded. the pair haven't mustered a single point in the seven races so far. in the football, it is still i—0 the seven races so far. in the football, it is still 1—0 to england against poland under 21s. that's all sport for now. i'll have more in the next hour. donald trump says he does not have any secret recordings of his conversations with sacked fbi directorjames comey. he said: laura becker is in washington to

explain this somewhat baffling tweet. why did he find himself in this position? it is really a mystery of the president's own making. after he fired the head of the fbi, james comey, he tweeted that james comey had better hope that james comey had better hope that the one no tapes of their conversations that they had in the oval office, and that tweet set off a chain event of news. james comey said he had written a memo straight after that conversation, and he alleges that president trump asked him to drop an investigation into michael flynn. that was president trump's former national security adviser, who had to resign after his full contacts with the russians were disclosed. then it becomes, now that has merged —— now that it has

emerged that there are no text, it is the word of president trump up against that of the former head of the fbi, and what an intriguing scenario we have now. intriguing, it certainly is. senior figures in the church of england helped to hide historical sexual abuse by a former bishop, that's the conclusion of an independent review. peter ball, who's now 85, was jailed in 2015 after admitting the offences. today's review criticises the former archbishop of canterbury, lord carey, and the current archbishop, justin welby, has asked lord carey to step down from his position as an honorary assistant bishop. here's our religious affairs correspondent, martin bashir. and what hurts our hearts most... charismatic and ambitious, peter ball, like his twin brother michael, had been a bishop in the church of england. theirjoint achievement being heralded on national television. and making spiritual noises. but in 1993, peter ball was forced to stand down as bishop of gloucester after accepting a caution for gross indecency. despite his admission, he continued officiating

in churches and several public schools. any message for the victims? very, very sorry. a second police investigation led to him being jailed at the old bailey in 2015 for abusing 18 adolescents and young men. today's review, entitled an abuse of faith, says the church colluded with peter ball instead of being concerned for the welfare of his victims. they didn't follow any proper process in considering the evidence that they had. they did not think about survivors. they approached it again confused by the sense of peter ball being fundamentally innocent. one of the witnesses says this review should provoke immediate change to church practice. today's review, entitled an abuse of faith, says the church i think the church has demonstrated it can no longer be

responsible for policing itself. i think safeguarding in the church needs to be in dependent of the church and i think safeguarding should be nationalised and overseen by an external body. the most striking revelation in today's report concerns several letters that were sent here to lambeth palace by victims of peter ball in the early 1990s. then archbishop of canterbury george carey chose not to pass those letters on to the police. today, lord carey apologised, saying he regretted his failure to do so. lord carey has been asked by the current archbishop, justin welby, to step down from his position as honorary assistant bishop. the church of england says that safeguarding will now be central to its practice. martin bashir, bbc news, at church house in london. the population of the united kingdom

has shown its sharpest increase in yea rs. has shown its sharpest increase in years. it is thought the change has been driven by immigration and buying more births and fewer deaths. the parents of a child under the age of one have won a court case against a government benefits cut. the government has said it will appeal. prince harry has suggested that no one in the royal family wants to be king or queen. in an interview with an american magazine, he said the royals were acting for "the greater good of the people". the prince also criticised the decision to make him walk behind his mother's coffin at herfuneral, when he wasjust 12. with me now is pennyjunor, prince harry's biographer. what do you make of this interview? it isa what do you make of this interview? it is a very strange one to have

given, but it is also searingly honest. i think it's a very good question: who would want to be king, queen, prince, princess? you know, we perhaps all look at the job and think, oh, you know, life of luxury, wonderful palaces and cars, helicopters, living off the taxpayer, but actually, the reality is very, very different, and you know, harry has been in it all his life. he has been the subject of fierce interest and speculation all his life. cameras everywhere he goes. you know, these people have no freedom. all the things that we take for granted they do not have. they may have their palaces, but would you really want that if you couldn't set off and decide to go to the cinema one afternoon, or invite a friend round without intense

speculation as to that friend was? yes, i suppose the upside is considerable for him, because he is unlikely ever to become king, and only in the worst possible circumstances, so in a sense, he gets a lot of the good stuff without that sort of terrible boredom of being head of state in a country where you no longer have the powers that monarchy once enjoyed. well, i mean, you say boredom, but there is a lot of really interesting thing that they do do, but it is hard work. it's. .. that they do do, but it is hard work. it's... it's... every day, they are out, their diaries are filled six months in advance. they... their... they are meeting hundreds of people every day and they have to remember exactly who eve ryo ne they have to remember exactly who everyone is and why they are there. the concentration needed, and just the sheer sort of smiling all day, shaking hands all day, being on

their feet all day. that... shaking hands all day, being on theirfeet all day. that... it shaking hands all day, being on their feet all day. that... it can be boring, it can be tedious, but it can also be very exciting. and you know, the good that they do when they get involved in charity ‘s... harry has done amazing things. if you look at the invictus games, the only reason they came to be is because he is a royal prince. clearly, perceptions of him have changed over the recent years as he has matured and as he has become involved in these things. i can't help noticing that behind you are to make very striking pictures. in a sense, you are living with the legacy of a previous generation, and he has to live with the legacy of several previous generations. how do you think he handles that? he grew up... sorry, i have an echo. sorry

ifi up... sorry, i have an echo. sorry if i lose my concentration. he had a very traumatic childhood, which culminated in the most traumatic event, losing his mother when he was at the age of 12. i think it has been very difficult for him, because he was... diana and charles did their best to make him have a normal kind of childhood, but inevitably, the cameras were there, it was not normal. then diana died and i think he had a really difficult period, went off the rails, and i think he did an awful lot of drinking, an awful lot of... well, he made a lot of mistakes that a lot of young people make, many of them without the excuse that he had. but he's absolutely come good. in his 20s, when he went into the army, he really, really... the army was the making of him. and he's now come out the other side are really caring, decent, wonderful guy. and... but

he's always been a bit of a loose cannon. you know, he has always said and done things that have got him into hot water. possibly this interview will be another one of those! thank you for being with us this evening on bbc news. schoolboys in devon have been forced to resort to extreme measures to deal with this week's heatwave. when male pupils were told they couldn't wear shorts and had to wear trousers, they decided to wear skirts instead. jon kay reports. not your typical class photo. around 30 boys wore skirts at isca academy today — borrowed from their sisters and theirfriends. what does it feel like to wear skirts? it feels comfortable. really nice. cheering it's a protest... we want shorts! ..because they are not allowed to wear shorts, even on hot summer days. they are fed up with long trousers and, in a co—ed school, skirts are officially part of the uniform. girls are allowed to wear skirts all year round. and then they get cold legs

and we have to sit there sweating. i think it's good. if they can't wear shorts then they have to wear skirts. i don't think it's right, them being told off for having hairy legs, though. the headteacher wasn't available today. in a statement, she said she might allow shorts in future, but needs to consult parents. and she says the boys have not been disciplined for wearing skirts. there is an irony here because on the very day they have decided to step up their protest the temperature has dropped by 12 degrees and it is actually quite breezy. how long do you think you will continue with this protest? as long as it takes, to be honest. what about in the winter, when it gets really cold? i think we can bear that, to be honest. tights? yeah, they can do. until a final decision is made, the school says boys can loosen their ties in lessons. john kay, bbc news, exeter. what a difference a day make. today

has been much cooler and fresher. for many, a fair amount of cloud around. this picture from our weather watcher ince shetland. things will continue to change because we have a band of rain moving in. turning quite blustery up to the north—west as well. a dry night the further south and east you are but for all of us cooler and fresher, 12—15d. tomorrow, the band of cloud and rain will sink southwards. it will hang around for good parts of the day. the heaviest bursts of the day always the hills and the west. largely dry to the north, dry in the south. it stays fresher and breezy through the next few days with rain at times, still

some spells of sunshine, though. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: flammable cladding has been found in seven buildings after 600 high—rise blocks are checked in the wake of the grenfell tower fire. the prime minister says steps are being urgently taken to check residents' homes are safe. the relevant local authorities and local fire services have been informed and, as i speak, they are taking all possible steps to ensure buildings are safe and to inform affected residents. the prime minister is in brussels to meet eu leaders for the first time since she lost her parliamentary majority in the general election. donald trump says he does not have any secret recordings of his conversations with sacked fbi directorjames comey despite his earlier insinuations that such tapes existed. senior figures in the church of england colluded with disgraced

former bishop peter ball who abused young men, an inquiry finds. a preliminary postmortem examination has found that the death of 51—year—old makram ali, at the scene of the terror attack outside finsbury park mosque, was a result of multiple injuries. let's return to our top story this evening. 600 high—rise buildings in england have been found to have external cladding. seven have failed tests designed to test whether or not they're combustible. it follows the fire at grenfell tower in west london in which 79 people are believed to have died. three towers, as you say, here in plymouth, very much landmarks on the local skyline, and it's been revealed today that, following tests, cladding on these buildings, which was placed on there around 15 years ago, has been found to contain some of the same combustible material contained in those panels at grenfell tower.

now, the local mp has called for that cladding to be ripped off immediately. it's been given the lowest safety rating, that's category three and, not surprisingly, residents are concerned. i spoke to one young mum who lives in the green tower behind me there with her partner and her six—month—old daughter. now, just three months ago, there was a fire there in a neighbouring flat, and they were already concerned, as you can imagine. after seeing the horrors of g re nfell tower, they are even more worried now. come february and, basically, me and my partner were in the kitchen, cooking tea. the next thing you know there were blue lights outside, so my partner had looked out of the window and realised that there were four fire engines pulling up. and someone chucked a stone at our window and was going, get out, get out! and we were like, oh, my god, there's a fire! so bear in mind my young daughter was only seven weeks old at the time.

we had tojust scoop her up, grab a towel or a blanket and just wrap her up and run down the stairwell. when we ran down the stairwell and got to the first floor, there was loads of smoke coming out, so we had to just get out as quickly as we could. but there was loads of commotion going on outside. nobody knew whether everybody was safe in the flats above and stuff. so there was no alarm? there was no alarm or anything. if we'd gone to sleep or gone to bed, we wouldn't have known about it, and that's the scary thing because, had we not been in the living room and people chucking stones at our window, trying to get our attention, we wouldn't have known anything about it. so, luckily for us, we were able to get out because, now that the cladding in this block has been tested, now proves that, even though they say that we should stay in the flat, actually, your natural instinct is to get out, especially when you've got a young baby you want to protect and make

sure that she's safe. so, three months on, you're watching the news and you see grenfell tower. how did that make you feel? absolutely frightened because the first night i went to sleep after hearing the news, i couldn't sleep because all i had in my head was ourflat going up in fire and the whole tower block just going up in flames. now, plymouth community homes says that the cladding, which was, as i said, placed on these buildings around 15 years ago, complied with all fire and safety and planning regulations at the time. the local mp, who's called for this cladding to be removed immediately, and representatives of plymouth community homes, which manages these buildings on behalf of the city council here, will be holding a public meeting here at some point this evening. chloe brewster, for one, says she will be attending that and they will be wanting reassurance from the council. some are even saying they want to be re—homed because they no longer feel safe here.

plymouth community homes also confirmed today that it has ordered a sprinkler system for all three buildings and says it will continue to work with devon and somerset fire and rescue service to assess all the risks. the funeral was held today of an american student who died days after returning from captivity in north korea. 2,500 mourners attended the service at wyoming high school in ohio, where otto warmbier had been a student. he was arrested in the isolated communist country while visiting as a tourist and held in prison for 17 months. when he was released and returned to the united states, he was in a coma, which north korean officials claim was caused by botulism poisoning. the un cultural organisation, unesco, has condemned

the destruction of the great al—nuri mosque in iraq, which was blown up by the so—called islamic state group. the bbc‘s team in mosul has sent us these pictures of what's left of the al—nuri mosque and its famous leaning minaret. the iraqi prime minister described the destruction of the great mosque of al—nuri as "an official declaration of defeat" by is fighters. it was where the leader of is made his only public appearance. exactly a month on from the bombing at manchester arena, a teenager whose photo became an iconic image of the night has been speaking for the first time about what happened. 14—year—old eve suffered 1a shrapnel wounds and a picture of her featured on many newspaper front pages in the aftermath of the attack. 22 people were killed and many more injured when a suicide bomber set off a device at an ariana grande concert last month. clare fallon reports. hers was the image that captured the awful reality of what happened, an attack where children were not unintended victims but targets. i remember it happening but then,

for the next few days, ijust didn't really understand. eve suffered 1a shrapnel wounds and severe nerve damage. she's got months, if not years, of treatment ahead of her. i think some of my friends and stuff, they don't understand how long it's going to take. i don't think i understand how long it's going to take for me to be able to do this stuff that i usually would do. this is the first time i've met eve and the first time she's spoken about what happened. but on the night of the attack, i met her little sister and father as they were reunited outside the arena. something really hot just flew over us and landed behind me and my mum and my sister, and then we all dropped to the floor. back home, amelia has no physical scars, but her hearing has been damaged by the blast and her parents are worried about the psychological scars. she told me the events of that night play and replay in her mind. when i'm not doing anything and i just sit and think, then i keep...

i go over to where the explosion went and i remember... i play from where i turn round, and then i pause it and i see all of it. i see the flashing lights of the explosion, i see the people who have been thrown in the air. that's actually what it feels like when you think about it. for an 11—year—old child to see the things she saw, and she dealt with it so well, she was so strong and so brave. and then eve, obviously her injuries were horrendous, the worst of all of ours. it's going to be a long process. we know we've a long way to go. after all this family's been through, remarkably, amelia says she wouldn't wish it on anyone, even the man who carried out the attack. you never want to see something this bad happen to anyone because they are still human. so it sounds to me like the man who did this, you don't hate him?

i don't hate him for what he did. i feel differently, i'll be honest with you. i feel differently. i think that somebody who does something like this, he's letting everybody down, he's letting himself down, he's letting, as people say, the religion... i don't think religion comes into it. i just think they are just... you have to forgive and forget in life otherwise you're not going to get anywhere. even her father can't quite believe her outlook. 11 years old and talking of forgiveness, not hate. clare fallon, bbc news, bradford. now, we know that the future of workers moving across the eu will be a key aspect of brexit talks. at the moment, around 80,000 seasonal workers pick and process fruit and veg in the uk every year,

but a bbc survey of soft fruit and salad growers has found that there's already a problem with the supply of workers. one in five farmers say they already have fewer workers than they need with seven out of ten saying they'd consider cutting production if there are future restrictions on seasonal workers. our business correspondent, emma simpson, reports from tiptree in essex. perfectly ripe and ready to be picked. the harvest is in full swing. right now there are small armies of workers dotted around the countryside. work that needs a human hand. all this produce is home—grown but not home—picked. that's because just about everyone here is from eastern europe. it's tough seasonal work, especially in this heat, and with the weak pound and brexit

looming, these jobs just aren't as appetising as they used to be. next time i'm going to germany or the netherlands, or bulgaria. because the money is better? yes, it sure is better. but what's coming down the track after brexit? the boss of this farm told me he's already got 20% fewer workers than he'd like. this industry won't survive, he says, if access to eu workers is restricted. without a seasonal workforce to pick our crops, we are not going to get them picked and the logical extension of that is that we will need to import produce from europe or elsewhere in the world. why can't you get british workers to pick the fruit? we do try very hard but our experience has been challenging over the years. the fact that it's a seasonal operation makes it difficult for people, and as well unemployment

is very low in our part of the world. they have been picking strawberries for decades in this corner of essex. the nationalities have changed through the years. but if we want to keep buying british, then growers say they need a seasonal workers permit scheme. the government says it also wants this industry to thrive, but that there is insufficient evidence for such a scheme right now. emma simpson, bbc news, essex. nasa launched the world's smallest satellite today. it fits in the palm of your hand and it was designed by an 18—year—old indian student. the 12th grade student from tamil nadu had entered a competition run by nasa called cubes in space. this was the moment of liftoff just a few hours ago —
