this is bbc news. the headlines at four: theresa may defends her proposals on the status of eu citizens in the uk after brexit — after they were criticised by the european council president. my first impression is the offer is below expectations and that it risks worsening the situation of citizens. i think we have made a fair and serious offer to all those, confirming and giving reassurance to all those eu living here in the united kingdom. police say they are considering manslaughter charges over the grenfell tower fire — and reveal that insulation material used on the block has failed subsequent safety tests. the number dead or presumed dead remains at 79. i fear that there are more. i do not know who they are at the moment, that is why i am really pleading with the public to please call us. as checks continue elsewhere,

1a other blocks in england have been identified as also having cladding that raises fire safety concerns. gary haggarty — a former loyalist paramilitary turned supergrass — pleads guilty to 200 charges, including five murders. coming up... police charge a man with terrorism—related murder after the attack outside finsbury park mosque. 47—year—old darren osborne appeared before magistrates a short while ago — he's been remanded in custody. and, nearly half a century after their last series triumph over the all blacks, could victory finally be in the lions' grasp again? good afternoon and welcome to bbc news.

theresa may has defended her offer on the post—brexit status of eu citizens living in the uk after it was criticised by eu officials. european commission president jean—claude juncker called it "insufficient" and the head of the european council, donald tusk, said it was "below eu expectations and risked worsening the situation of eu citizens currently living in the uk." but mrs may described her plan as "fair and serious" and reiterated that no legal eu citizen would have to leave the uk after brexit. we'll hear what she had to say shortly — first, let's hear what donald tusk had to say about his concerns regarding the proposals: we have made our position clear. we wa nt to we have made our position clear. we want to insure full rights for eu and uk citizens after brexit. my

first impression is that the uk's offer is below our expectations and that it risks worsening the situation of citizens. is that it risks worsening the situation of citizens. that will be for our negotiating teams when we haveit for our negotiating teams when we have it on paper. the prime minister responded to his comments by saying that while there are differences between the uk's proposals and the eu's, several readers had reacted positively, she said, to plan. and she said if it was agreed, it would offer reassurance to millions. she said if it was agreed, it would offer reassurance to millionsli have been clear all along that the issue of citizens rights should be addressed at no stage because asians. it will be one of the first issues looked at. i think we have made a fairand issues looked at. i think we have made a fair and serious offer. —— it should be addressed at an hourly

stage of negotiations. but i also wa nt stage of negotiations. but i also want to see certainty reassurance given to uk citizens living in the eu. out there, i spoke to our reporter, adam fleming. i think it's clearjust how tricky this process of negotiating the uk's exit from the eu is going to be. theresa may, last night, made what she thought was a fair and serious offer that was fairly close to what the eu wanted in terms of the rights of eu nationals living in the uk and uk nationals living in the eu, which as the prime minister admitted, is something that ordinary people have been worried about as part of the brexit process. then this morning, we saw a series of eu leaders, the prime minister, and people like jean—claude juncker, the president of the commission, and donald tusk, the president of the council, pouring cold water on what she proposed and saying it wasn't substantial enough.

and then you get our colleague, political editor, making the point that actual, some people who voted to leave the eu and control immigration will look at this proposal and think it is too, it goes in the wrong direction and is not tough enough on migration. theresa may will have to strike a balance between those two opposing forces. and the prime minister lodging that this was an opening bid, the document she will publish on monday will be negotiations, the invitation of that is that it could change between now and when something is agreed. it's interesting, isn't it, that the sort of language coming from her and,

from the senior eu officials is so different? she talked about a constructive start to brexit ago sections and yet from donald tusk and jean—claude juncker, we have had, it has been below our expectations, it's been in the —— insufficient. i don't know what she really thinks about this and have the theatrics of the negotiation. i can imagine number ten were prepared for a negotiation like this, it is a negotiation, brussels is staking out positions, backing a point as possible to get a bit of leveraged. or will they look at the reaction to their plan, what they thought was generous, strong and fair, be taken aback that it has not gone well down so well? in terms of what the eu are annoyed about, people haven't gone into specifics about the reaction to this because they're waiting for the full proposal to be published on monday, the eu have said that they will go through that paper line by line on monday and work out the things they like and don't like. but the sense i'm getting is that the eu feel that their offer, which they made on this if you weeks ago, what about for generous than the british offer and jean—claude juncker, the president of the european commission,

was quite explicit at a moment ago at his own press conference and said that he could not imagine a situation where the european court of justice was not involved in this. the eu side really wants there to be a role for a europeanjudges to guarantee the rights of all the citizens, theresa may is really not keen on that at all. she wants this to be british judges in british courts to guarantee rights in britain. the lipstick now to -- lets the canal to a the lipstick now to -- lets the canaltoa campaign the lipstick now to -- lets the canal to a campaign which emerged from the remain campaign. what you think of theresa may's plans? try i think of theresa may's plans? try i think they are too late. we're having this conversation on the first anniversary brexit. and it has emerged from the evening standard that theresa may vetoed david cameron making this kind of offer a year ago. i think it is too little.

that's only one version of events. but carry on. i think he has a good idea of what happened. but it is too little. eu leaders have been queueing up today to say that it doesn't go far enough compared to their own proposals that they put out weeks ago. as a result, i think it isa out weeks ago. as a result, i think it is a mist opportunity. britain desperately needs some goodwill in the eu. something as important as this, that affects the lives of friends and family members and colleagues, this could have been a really large olive branch, we could have offered the eu today. and instead, we will get bogged down in details for some time.” instead, we will get bogged down in details for some time. i have to point out that the prime minister said she had no recollection of vetoing any proposal in the cabinet, and it is questionable whether any one cabinet member can veto a proposal. anyway, let's put that aside for the moment. at the prime minister has got to balance the it interests of those who are already here with the message she has

received from the referendum which suggests voters want migration to be controlled. i think those two are danceable. the league campaign, and almost everyone i spoke to was involved in the these campaign revolted to leave said that people who were already here, he moved here in good faith before the referendum was even an idea, should have their rights protected. i don't think it's fairto rights protected. i don't think it's fair to move the goalposts on people that are already living and working in the uk and indeed, british citizens living and working in the rest of the eu. a future immigration system is a separate debate and that will be a difficult one as well, but i would have thought this issue here, which pretty much the whole country is agreed on, i look at clev campaigners campaigning on television, they say it should be sorted out. i don't think it bodes for the rest of the negotiations when we can't sort out this issue, that i think everyone wants sorting out as a matter of priority. the prime minister has said that those

who make their lives and homes in the uk will have their rights guaranteed. that seems generous? i hope so. but at the detail. at the moment, they are talking about a five—year cut—off point. which means people are moved to the uk before brexit happened, before the referendum was even held, before the government that older friend and was even an power, they might not be covered. we will see the details on monday, but if that is not true, then clearly not everybody will have their rights protected, and i think people who are in the uk from the eu, and indeed, people from the uk in the eu, fully expect that. we do need to see the details, so to a certain extent, we are talking without knowing the full details. but there is an aspect of what is going on a brussels, each side is posturing, and they? the eu is

objecting to britain suggesting without giving details of what they are objecting to. i think your right to an extent, always good to be posturing and taking sides in negotiations. that is how it works. but i would have said that this is an issue that i would like to have seen taken out of the heat and fury of the negotiations. it is, as i say, something that pretty much every one agrees on whether they remain or leave, most people agree that this is something we should sort out quickly and as a priority. these are people, these are people's lives, these are friends, family, her colleagues. these are not bargaining chips, not to be traded away for security measures, there should be treated separately as a priority and should be sorted out. thank you. police investigating the grenfell tower disaster have said insulation materials and tiles used on the block failed fire safety tests carried out in the aftermath of the tragedy. they confirmed that the fire started in a fridge freezer and that they are considering manslaughter charges among a number of potential offences.

officers also revealed that more than 600 999 calls were made on the night of the fire, some of them over an hour long, and "truly harrowing" in their content. the number of people known to have died, or who are confirmed as missing, presumed dead, remains for now at 79, but it's feared the final number will be higher. meanwhile, 11 residential blocks in eight local authority areas in england have been found with cladding which raises safety concerns. in fact, that number has gone up during the afternoon from 11 to 14 blocks that have been found to raise safety concerns. it's been described as the worst fire in britain since the second world war. now, nine days later, the police have the results of tests carried out on the panels covering the outside of the tower and have confirmed that a fridge sparked the fire. preliminary tests on the instillation samples

collected from grenfell tower showed that they combusted soon after the test started. the initial tests on the cladding tiles also failed the safety tests. we are also concerned about the fridge freezer in this matter. we have been working with the department of energy, business and industrial strategy, who are working with hotpoint on the safety of that fridge. and as the investigation progresses it is clear the police are looking to bring those responsible to justice. we are looking at every criminal offence, from manslaughter onwards. we are looking at every health and safety and fire safety offence, and we are reviewing every investigation, every company at the moment involved in the building and refurbishment of g re nfell tower. the grenfell fire is having

repercussions for high—rise buildings right across the country. the safety of 600 tower blocks is now being checked. and already, 11 have been found with cladding which raises safety concerns. the authorities are trying to work as quickly as possible, with 100 buildings being inspected per day. but here in plymouth, as elsewhere, residents living in tower blocks are now extremely nervous. ourfear is, who knows what's going to happen in the next 2a hours. what if there's a fire tonight and bear in mind all of the cladding is not proved to be safe enough, how are we going to stand a chance? especially if we are all asleep and we don't know about it. and the concerns go beyond apartment blocks. the company which runs the premier inn hotel chain says this hotel in maidenhead and two others which have aluminium cladding do not appear to meet required fire standards.

they're now pursuing this with the developers which built them. we don't know whether material is. it could be in your hospital, it could be in your child's school on their nice new building, it could be in a leisure centre, it could be in your shopping centres. your office blocks. it goes beyond council—owned properties. it is countrywide. it affects private building owners as well as public. in the wake of the catastrophic grenfell fire there is now a huge task ahead for the authorities. and speed is of the essence to ensure there are no more deaths from entirely preventable causes. richard galpin, bbc news. police investigating the van attack near finsbury park mosque in north

london in the early hours of monday morning have charged darren osborne with terrorism—related murder and attempted murder. the 47—year—old has appeared at westminster magistrates' court. our correspondent helena lee was in court. whatmore was said? it was a very short hearing, which is typicalfor a first appearance, it lasted only four mac minutes. darren osborne, a father of four, a 10—year—old, putin the dock. he had an officer either side of he was wearing a white, police issued t—shirt, and had a black eye. he was asked to say his name and date of birth, which he did. he was then asked to provide his address, he said he didn't have one. then the charges were read out in court. he has been charged with murder, attempted murder, and these

charges are being treated as terrorist related offences. and the crown in court said that it was their case that darren osborne, i quote, had been motivated by extreme political views and personal hatred of muslims, and he acted to kill, maim and terrifying as many as possible. and just a minder of the incident in finsbury park in the early hours of monday morning, a van which had been hired from close to cardiff was driven into a group of muslims who had been returning from prayers, one man was killed in that incident, a 51—year—old, and nine others were injured. the district judge today here in court asked mr osborne to stand up, you told him, his next court appearance will be on tuesday at the old bailey and remanded him in custody. thank you. the headlines on bbc news: europe's top officials have criticised theresa may's plan

for the post—brexit status of eu citizens in the uk — but she says it's fair and serious. police say they are considering manslaughter charges over the grenfell tower fire — the number of people who died, or are missing presumed dead in the tragedy, remains at 79. police also reveal that insulation material has failed safety tests. the number of buildings with padding but that raises fire safety concerns is 14. and tomorrow, the first test between the british lions and the all blacks. a bittersweet day for the dutch teacher who dominated practice but his second session came to an embarrassing end.

after 45 years in the commentary box, special test match commentator henry blofeld has announced he will retire at the end of the summer. i would be back with those stories at 430, we'll see them. more now on the news that the president of the european council, donald tusk, says that theresa may's offer an eu citizen's status is below expectations. the prime minister says they can stay in the uk if british people given in europe are givena uk if british people given in europe are given a similar deal. theresa may says her plans will see no family split up because of the brexit process. eu citizens were five years of residents would have settled status and lifetime access to free health care, education and benefits, there would be a grace period for new arrivals from the eu to the uk. with me is mats persson,

a consultant at ernst & young who used to advise david cameron at number ten on matters to do with europe and brexit. thank you for joining me. first of all, let's consider these plans by theresa may. you see them as an opening gambit? are they fair and serious?|j you see them as an opening gambit? are they fair and serious? i think donald tusk was slightly unfair himself, i think theresa may, with her proposal, what she is doing here is establishing two very important principles with respect to eu citizens already in the uk. first, known already here will be required leave. second, all the key rights will be guaranteed, so right to access health care, education, pensions, etc. these are the two principles i think people were looking for and they have now been... they are now they're in the open and and have been put forward in the proposal, we'll see more detail on monday, these details matter, but the key principles to

meet with fair. are you surprised that the detail hasn't come out at same time as the starting negotiation? not at all. i think it is quite a common thing, you brief a bit beforehand and then publish the detailed later. i wouldn't worry too much about that. but we will have to wait a bit longer, till monday, to pass fulljudgment wait a bit longer, till monday, to pass full judgment on wait a bit longer, till monday, to pass fulljudgment on the viability of these plans. but so far, they look good. how do you read the lu kewa rm look good. how do you read the lukewarm comments from donald tusk and jean—claude juncker? lukewarm comments from donald tusk and jean-claude juncker? it's a bit tricky. i don't know everything, i do not everything that might be behind those comments. but maybe there's around the cut off date, but it's a bit vague in this proposal that theresa may has hinted at. the cut—off date for people to be considered as citizens? exactly. whether it's sort of article 50, which was the trigger, in march this

year, or the excellent day, which will be on march 2019. that is quite a substantial time period, quite a substantial time period, quite a substantial time period, quite a difference. perhaps something around who is going to police, or see that these rights are respected, would it be uk courts or european court of justice, respected, would it be uk courts or european court ofjustice, which the eu is insisting on? they want the ecj, the european court ofjustice, to oversee these rights for a long time, the uk government has said they can't accept that. so perhaps those are the objections that are behind donald tusk‘s and jean—claude juncker‘s comments. but on the face of it, this proposal does look fair. she, of course, is going to these negotiations in a much weaker position than she would have wanted. what should her strategy beat now to soften the plans that she might have had before? not specifically on eu immigrants, but generally? renegade is clear to me that she is weak.

that is not a controversial statement at all. she expected a strong mandate and foster majority. soi strong mandate and foster majority. so i think that is not controversial. and clearly, because of the situation of the tories not having a majority empowerment, there may now be a need for some sort of cross— party may now be a need for some sort of cross—party anchoring of the brexit mission, the brexit offer. perhaps not legislation, perhaps not a formal cross—party deal of some sort, but spiritually, if you will, there needs to be some sort of cross— party there needs to be some sort of cross—party bind for the uk's brexit mandate. so that is the first thing. there needs to be a process in place to ensure that mps across parties we re to ensure that mps across parties were less buy into the brexit negotiation mandate. secondly, i think the uk needs to decide, the government needs to decide, not only the end destination but also how to get there. there has been a lot of talk in recent weeks and days about a softer brexit, about a longer

transition period, transitioning into the new arrangement, allowing businesses and the government itself and eu citizens to adjust to the new rules and new trading and regulatory arrangements. so i think cross—party anchoring at home, citing the destination but also how to get there, need to be done now. it is going to be a bumpy ride, no doubt about that. one thing that has cropped up today, comments by george osborne, former chancellor, now editor of the london evening standard, who has been using his position, it seems, to create some trouble for mr may. he said that she was the only cabinet minister in cabinet at the time to veto, or to say no to a suggestion that eu migrants should be given full rights straightaway. —— he has greater trouble for mrs may. can you, dunn? i was at that one out. so you can

but you're going to? their world was differences of opinion on issue. i have considered it with, in negotiation terms, i have sympathy with the argument that the uk should unilaterally, perhaps. but equally, it's a matter of people's lives. so i think it's ragged now, that we have a proposal on the table, there have a proposal on the table, there have been a a lot of things happening but the most important thing now is that negotiations were out and that the mandate is here. were you in the meeting? no. i'm not sure exactly which meeting there are referring to, but as i said, i will sit this one out. i see. i think you know but you're not going to tell. fair enough. mats persson, many thanks. it is just thanks. it isjust coming up thanks. it is just coming up to 4:25pm. more

now on the news that lease investigating the grenfell tower fire have revealed that installation material used on the block has failed subsequent safety tests. our correspondent is at new scotland ya rd correspondent is at new scotland yard for us. sarah, what can you tell us? bring us more details about what they said. well, detective superintendent john maccormack is leading —— fiona mccormack is leading the investigation. she described as one of the most complex investigations the met has ever undertaken, with more than 250 special investigators involved. she said that the scope and scale might increase as they learn more. she said there were two main points, added the fire start and how did it spread so quickly? as far as the start, he figure has been pointed out that hotpoint fridge freezer, murder investigations are going on around that. the government battle in wordpress editions are going on. the ormond has also

ordered tests —— the government has all sort of tests, and are looking at this cladding, the preliminary test had been carried out on cladding and insulation and it has been said that at this stage, both of those failed the safety tests, with the insulation burning more quickly than the cladding. over the last few days, the police have seized documents from a number of organisations at a number of premises. they would be more precise about that at the moment, but they say there are looking at the whole range of possible charges from health and safety violations to possible manslaughter charges. that could mean a prison sentence for senior managers at the organisations involved. as far as the number of people who are known to have died or missing presumed dead, that remains at 79 with nine formally identified, but she said she thought the fear was that that would rise and talked about these hidden victims, that

they didn't really know yet all the people that were in the tower. there may be people who didn't want to come forward because they weren't co mforta ble come forward because they weren't comfortable coppock interview 30, maybe they were worried about immigration status, or subletting flats, or something on the wrong side of the law. —— not comfortable talking to the authorities. she said that the home office are not going to be checking immigration status and the important thing is forever on to come forward so they can work out who is living there —— was living there, visiting there that night. but she did say that the tower raw reality is that we may never find tower raw reality is that we may neverfind or identify tower raw reality is that we may never find or identify all those who died in the far and added that the recovery work could continue until at least the end of this year. staying on the story of the grenfell tower fire, there has staying on the story of the grenfell towerfire, there hasjust been staying on the story of the grenfell tower fire, there has just been a statement from the labour group of councillors in kensington and chelsea, of course, a tory run borough. labour are calling on the

leadership of all the senior members of the kensington and chelsea cabinet to resign, this particularly, those with direct responsible for housing and property decisions, and that includes the leader. they say they have been prompted to do by media reports that the leader of the cancel was unanimously asked to stay on by his cabinet. they are calling for him to resign. the labour group represents 11 resign. the labour group represents ii councillors in a chamber of 50. more for you on that in the coming ours, but for the time being, that gets an update on the weather. the weather forecast for the weekend is looking rather mixed. breezy conditions, fresher than it has been for the past week or so, and for some of us, a bit of useful rain for the gardens, but not everywhere. cloudy for many of us through the afternoon, here's how things are

looking in east yorkshire, quite a bit of cloud but some brightness around, some eastern counties of england. as we head through the evening and overnight, rain heading across north england, wales, the south—west as well. light and drizzly, clearer skies further north across scotland and northern ireland and the far north of england, temperatures cooler than they have been overnight for the past week or so. so a fairly fresh start to the day on saturday, some rain in the south—east on a weak weather front, that should clear away, but whether working in on the suspect in parts of england and wales, but for a person northern scotland's, a return to sunshine were scattered showers and temperatures 15 to 20 degrees. in sunday, fewer showers and to saturday, reader that lighter, should feel a touch warmer temperatures of 15 to 23 degrees. hello.

this is bbc news. the headlines... theresa may defends her proposals on the status of eu citizens in the uk after brexit — after they were criticised by the european council president. he said the proposals were "below expectations". my my first impression is the uk's offer is below expectations and it risks worsening the situation of citizens. we have made a fair and serious offer to all those confirming in giving reassurance to all those eu citizens living here in the uk. police investigating the grenfell tower disaster say insulation and tiles failed safety tests carried out after the fire, and confirm that the blaze started in a fridge freezer. this announcement comes as 14 other high—rise buildings across england are found with cladding which raises safety concerns. in northern ireland, a former senior loyalist paramilitary turned ‘supergrass', gary haggarty, has pleaded guilty to 200 charges , including five murders.

now, a sports update. the big race of the day has just concluded at rotyal ascot. the odds on favourite winter was the winner as the fillies took centre stage in the coronation sta kes. winter, winner of the english and irish 1000 guineas, trained by trainer aidan o'brien, who won the commonwealth cup earlier with cara—vaggio. it's been a bittersweet day for red bull's max verstappen during practice for this weekend's azerbaijan grand prix. the dutch teenager dominated both sessions claiming the top spot by almost half a second in the morning. but his afternoon session came to an embarrassing end with just 30 seconds to go until the chequered flag. it was a bad day for the two british drivers on the grid. jolyon palmer's practice ended early and lewis hamilton

could only manage tenth. gilles muller's impressive run continues. he's beaten sam querrey of the united states in straight sets at queens. the man from luxembourg saw off querrey 6—4, 7—6 to book his place in the semi—finals. muller knocked outjo wilfried tsonga in the previous round. yeah, it feels good, to be honest. everything is working out great at the moment. i'm playing real good tennis and i feel also on the important moments i am able to bring up important moments i am able to bring up some good shots so everything is going my way at the moment. and muller, the world number 82 will face world number seven marin cilic in the semi—finals. the croatian had few problems in seeing off donald young of the united states , winning by two sets to love. lucie safarova has reached the semi—finals of the aegon classic in birmingham. the czec came from a set down to beat beat daria

gavrilova of austria, 6—7, 6—3, 7—6. the countdown is on to the start of the first test between the british and irish lions and new zealand in auckland tomorrow morning. new zealand haven't lost in 23 years at eden park, the venue for the first test. the last side to defeat the all blacks was ireland, back in november and man of the match that day in chicago was scrum—half connor murray. this is a whole new team, a whole new part of players, massive talents on the more excited about that. it isa on the more excited about that. it is a really impressive record but if there ever was a team that has the potential, if we clicked, we will be excited about what we can do. that is the challenge against the best tea m is the challenge against the best team in the world and it is where you want to be. despite having 12 players away with the british and irish lions, wales rounded off their summer tour on a high with victory against samoa.

in the absence of the more established faces, several young players were given the chance to impress. one of those, the 22—year—old steff evans scored two tries in their 19—17 victory, as they made it two wins from two, to follow up their victory against tonga. and one of the greats of sports broadcasting, henry blofeld, will be stepping down after the summer. he's been commentating on cricket for 45 years but at the age of 77, he's decided to hang up his microphone and will undoubtedly be hugely missed by the loyal listeners of test match special. i think ithinki i think i was finding it harder, i have been recently and the harder it becomes at my age you are in a way justifying your position with people much younger than you and therefore you are under pressure and i thought, this is silly. it is time to go and the other thing is try and go when you leave people with happy memories and people say, perhaps, they want more rather than saying,

why the hell hasn't gone before? and england's cricketers are in action against south africa in the second of three twenty20 matches. that gets under way in around 20 minutes at taunton — we'll keep you fully updated throughout the afternoon that's all sport for now. i'll have more in the next hour. more now on the news that the president of the european council — donald tusk — says theresa may's offer to eu nationals after brexit is below expectations. with me is adrian berry, a barrister at garden court chambers and specialist in eu free movement and immigration law. thank you for coming in, what do you make of theresa may's plans? thank you for coming in, what do you make of theresa may's plans7m strikes me that the offer is inadequate, does not preserve existing rights, there are gaps in so far as it is on offer, many eu citizens will be unsettled as a result of hearing her plans and leaves people in a difficult situation in planning their lives. why are the gaps? the offer is about

allowing people to move towards a settlement, it says nothing about preserving existing rights, allowing people to be joined preserving existing rights, allowing people to bejoined by preserving existing rights, allowing people to be joined by their family members or eu citizens in relationships with british citizens and not working themselves, must be hundreds of thousands of people like that. it is only fair to say we have got to wait to see the details, coming on monday. it maybe this is an opening gambit so she can see what the eu will in return. it is disturbing if it is looked at in that way as a gambit, there are british citizens in other eu states he can expect the same treatment that any event it is a matter of principle, we should preserve existing rights people have, not cutting them down and pretending it is on offer. the right to exist at the moment are more complicated than people imagine, aren't they because we tend to think of free movement as being anyone can go anywhere but thatis being anyone can go anywhere but that is not the case. no, there is control on entry when you are

admitted to the uk, there are regulations governing expulsion on concert grounds and there is a whole system for issuing permits that you can system for issuing permits that you ca n a ccess system for issuing permits that you can access so it is a form of immigration control. permits related to work? residence permits which reflect roll—outs to work, you have the right to work and it is not clear how that will be whether you can clear how that will be whether you ca n a ccess clear how that will be whether you can access in work benefits such as housing benefit and tax credits. that is interesting there are more controls in existence at the moment, is it that they are not enforced because one never hears about them. they are enforced. the home office do use them, it is one of those misperceptions there is a system of regulation and it works at present and what needs to be preserved as the balance in its entirety if you are conserving rights and anything thatis are conserving rights and anything that is badged as an offer is a suboptimal version of that and cutting back on something and the question is the degree to which it is cutting back on the things people ready have. more details on the

proposals on monday, what would you like to see in that paper?|j proposals on monday, what would you like to see in that paper? i would like to see in that paper? i would like to see an overarching principle in paragraph one this is precisely the same rights whatever they may be will be preserved on and after brexit and in detail can be given and if something is missed you have the overall ching principle. former loyalist paramilitary commander who became a supergrass has pleaded guilty to 200 terrorist offences including five murders. gary haggarty the head of the ulster volunteer force appeared at belfast crown court amid heavy security. it is one of the most compact cases ever undertaken in northern ireland as chris page reports. during the troubles, the uvf took more lives than any other loyalist paramilitary organisation. it killed more than 500 people. one of its commanders

was this man, gary haggarty, he has pleaded guilty to 200 offences, the prosecution case document runs to around 12,000 pages covering 16 violent years from 1991. two of the five men who hagerty admitted murdering whether catholic workmen shot dead in a building site 23 yea rs shot dead in a building site 23 years ago. gary haggarty was an informerfor years ago. gary haggarty was an informer for the security forces at a time. i don't care about the uvf. they can meet their maker someday but as the police in authority to protect and serve they did not protect and serve they did not protect ourfamilies. protect and serve they did not protect our families. there has never been a more complex enquiry into loyalists, it is focused on his base at north belfast where the organisation had a particular murderous reputation. this investigation into the uvf is set to go on to another level in 2010 gary haggarty signed an agreement in

which he offered to give evidence in court against other paramilitary leaders in exchange for a shorter sentence for his own crimes. he's the most senior loyalist ever to turn superg rass. the most senior loyalist ever to turn supergrass. it is understood up to 15 uvf members could be charged if prosecutors accept his evidence is credible. former police officers could also be prosecuted. we understand at all times throughout his tenure as a special branch agent that he was fully debriefing his handlers and it is the examination of their conduct and their directions and criminal liability which will now fall to be assessed. police say they are committed to the investigation. i can understand how todayis investigation. i can understand how today is a significant and sad moment for the families of gary haggarty‘s victims. moment for the families of gary haggarty's victims. the families of the victims will have longer to wait, in future gary haggarty maybe

in the witness box not the dock but getting to that stage could take yea rs getting to that stage could take years yet. an nhs trust has been fined £300,000 after admitting to health and safety failures in the case of a man suffering from a psychotic illness who died at epsom hospital in surrey three years ago. adam voges died after gaining access to industrial chimney at the hospital. adam withers became seriously mentally unwell in the spring of 2014, paranoid and delusional. while a patient at psychiatric unit at epsom general hospital, one evening he absconded over a low level building from the courtyard while his mother shelly was visiting. as he walked across, i followed him with my eyes and that's the first time i saw the chimney with the ladder. and the ladder, itjust glints in the sunlight, and i just suddenly thought, no, no. and ijust thought, i can't do it,

i can't stand here and watch, because if he comes down safe i'll see him, but i can't see him fall. so i turned around and i walked away from him. and i'm sure that he saw me. because he just stared. and the last time i turned around before you go round the corner where you can't see the chimney any more, he was just getting on to the very top. at this point shelly called adam's twin sister carla who rushed over. all of a sudden you heard these gasps, these horrible, horrible gasps, and people just screaming and screaming and then you get the nurses coming round the corner that are pale as sheets. you know that they'd seen something just horrific. i went to point to my mum and that's when she collapsed to the floor and just screamed this horrible, horrible scream, and that's how we found out he died because she screamed

and they were like that. that's not how you find out someone's died. the trust, surrey and borders partnership, had been warned and repeatedly that patients could abscond from the unit but failed to take any action. in a statement they accepted the fine and apologised for the failings. for adam's family who live in the shadow of the chimney, the prosecution is a hollow but satisfying victory. i feel disappointed but i'm very proud, and very proud of my family, and very proud of my children. because together, we've done it, together as a family, we've done it for adam. the planned nuclear power plant at hinkley point is both risky and expensive, according to the national audit office. the public spending watchdog says the government has not sufficiently considered the impact on consumers. here's our business reporter rob young. it will be britain's first

new nuclear plant for a generation. hinkley point c has been plagued by delays, but building work has already started on the somerset coast. when finished, it will produce 7% of britain's power, replacing older, dirtier plants which have gone off—line. hinkley has been given a guaranteed price for its electricity, which could cost bill—payers as much as £30 billion. the public spending watchdog is critical. what we found is that the government has committed a very risky and expensive deal, with uncertain economic benefits. the government's case for proceeding with the deal last september wasn't clear cut and while it will be several decades before it is known whether this deal is value for money, what we've concluded is the government didn't do enough to consider the costs and risks of the deal for consumers. the government maintains nuclear should be part of a diverse energy mix. it points out it provides clean

and reliable electricity. the project's majority shareholder edf insists it's good value compared with alternatives and says costs for future plants will be lower. hinkley‘s construction and operation is expected to create more than 26,000 jobs and apprenticeships, boosting the local economy. but its impact could be national, with new nuclear plants to follow. ina in a moment, i look at how the financial markets closed the first the headlines. europe's top officials have criticised theresa may's plan for the post—brexit status of eu citizens in the uk — but she says it's fair and serious. police say they are considering manslaughter charges over the grenfell tower fire — the number of people who died, or are missing presumed dead in the tragedy, remains at 79. as checks continue elsewhere, 14 other blocks in england have been identified as having cladding that

raises fire safety concerns. time for a look at the big business stories of the week, and joe lynam is here to take us through them. a year to the day since he voted to leave the european union, what is the city making of the negotiations? shares crashed on the day of the vote but they recovered strongly, specially the ftse 100 vote but they recovered strongly, specially the ftse100 which is 70% higher than it was a year ago. a lot of the reason for that is because the companies listed are giant multinationals so the own money outside the uk mostly they're bringing back hard currencies are they bring back stronger dollar and stronger euro is so their profits look bigger on their balance sheets which means their shares increase. the narrow focus of the ftse 250 in

which smaller countries listed was not as good and yet still 13% on the year. overall we have seen the pound is down 15 to 16% so things are weaker, inflation rising and at the moment the snapshot is britain is the wea kest moment the snapshot is britain is the weakest growing economy in europe but it has been far more robust in terms of shares than people thought. let's turn to oil, the price of oil is falling again. glut of supply. there was too much oil and demanded that a certain level when supply goes up, the price is pushed downwards. opec, the cartel wa nts is pushed downwards. opec, the cartel wants to do the opposite, they want to force prices up by reducing the amount of oil on the market which has not worked because the frack is producing so much oil these days. and this week been quite a turbulent week for uber with the boss designing. good to be making a

comeback? well, stevejobs was boss designing. good to be making a comeback? well, steve jobs was fired from apple in the mid—19 80s and came back six years later and rescued the company i do not know. at the moment it remains on the board of uber, the ride sharing app and his shares are worth $7 billion so he is not doing too badly. turning to lawrence gosling from investment week. good afternoon to you, lawrence. can i start with brexit, are you surprised shares are so robust over the past 12 months given the uncertainty the referendum created? we are because the weakness of sterling has been a big beneficiary to a lot of ftse 100 companies who own the majority of the revenue from overseas so currencies like the dollar or euro. but we are beginning to see the uk economy slowing quite significantly and if you look at the bank of

england minutes from the other day so these big companies perform so well and they do rely heavily on cross—border trade with eu and it is surprising and i suspect as the year goes on we may see the ftse slowdown of that, we have been in a three—week decline in the level of the ftse100 so we are beginning to see that evening off of growth in share price. in terms of going forward over the next year and a half, we now know for sure there'll bea half, we now know for sure there'll be a lot of uncertainty over the next year and a half and yet the market shrugged off the last 12 months of uncertainty, where will they go globally over the next year and a half given that brexit will be with us for a long long time. brexit will be with us for the next two yea rs of will be with us for the next two years of negotiations but many years after. the markets are beginning to look towards a recovery in the european economies while some strong like germany and others are beginning to pick up in france and

spain and italy so markets tend to revolve around the world, europe is positive, so we will see this quite benign bumpy recovery in the global economy over the next two to three yea rs economy over the next two to three years but the uk is in danger of being left behind. cow in the future oil because the brent $45 for brent, it is pretty low, not as low as the all—time low but it is still a good bit down from whatever $120 in 2014. yeah, more supply coming into the market and what is pushing the price down is a lot of the oil shale from the us that went off tap when the price went down to $20 just over a year ago is beginning to coming back on tap as there is a break even price which is roughly $40 a barrel where it is worth marginal producers

pumping oil out of the ground so more supply coming in, some of the infa ntry to more supply coming in, some of the infantry to big companies like the us of running down so we are in a classic supply demand dilemma, too much supply, not enough demand and more supply coming onto the market. corporate news and goober and —— goober, and his defenestration, is ita goober, and his defenestration, is it a temporary departure and wilkie comeback and it raises wider question corporate behaviour and sexism within boardrooms and attitudes towards colleagues as well and that is something you might have got away with 20 years ago or ten yea rs got away with 20 years ago or ten years ago but you can't get away with it now. absolutely not and not with it now. absolutely not and not with the business of this size with a high profile, ultimately it will look to list on the stock market with this year or next year so big corporate investors do not want to

be invested in the company with a bad reputation and goober has had sexism scandals around key individuals over the last six to 12 months so pretty comeback, he has a seat on the board and owns $7 billion of equity so, yes, you could come back but probably not for a while in quite a high profile status he has currently. lawrence gosling, thank you forjoining us. the ftse is down a smidgen. the 35th glastonbury festival has opened with a minute's silence to remember those affected by the recent terror attacks, and the grenfell tower fire. there is extra security at this year's festival, which is expecting to play host to more than a hundred thousand music fans over the weekend.

here's our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba. the festival began with a minute's silence. musicians and fans remembering those who died at grenfell towers and in the terror attacks in london and manchester. recent events mean already significant security here has increased even further. as thousands of people have come come into the festival, bag searches and body searches. and it's notjust at entry points. across the festival site, random checks as well as a police presence that's hard to miss. the organisers try to make sure festivalgoers feel safe without affecting their enjoyment. people here feel they've got the balance just about right. it's a self policing place. everyone is here for everyone else. looking after each other so i'm sure we'll all be fine. so, you feel safe?

yeah, definitely. although there was a bit more security and a bit more time getting through the gates, it's for a really good reason and i think everyone isjust having a great time and behaving really well and everyone is being so kind to each other. none of it seems to have taken away from the reason, of course, that people come here. the music. with performances now happening across the site and, of course, glastonbury is a festival that's not just about music. hundreds of people have marked the start of the event by coming together to form a huge peace sign. many people leave here with powerful memories, but few can say there's are as special as this. dan surprising his girlfriend, emily, with an onstage marriage proposal. can you tell me what it means to you, this happening here of all places? it's where we met. it's the most beautiful place ever and it means so much. so much. with the increased security some

festivalgoers may be feeling more anxious than in previous years, but so far, those worries don't seem to be showing. tried so far in glastonbury, will it last? not even the sign of a muddy puddle at worthy farm and mostly the weather will stay dry glastonbury but it would not be glastonbury without the chance of a few showers, probably on saturday evening. this is this afternoon in east yorkshire, quite a lot of cloud around but we have sunny skies across other parts of the country, this scene from st andrews in fife. glorious blue skies

to be enjoyed there is in the day. further south, towards the south—east it is also a sunny afternoon but in between quite a lot of cloud and a cloud bringing with it outbreaks of rain across the north—west of england across wales, through this evening and overnight. a frontal system slowly working its way south across england and wales is removed to the early hours of saturday morning. clearer skies and temperatures between ten to 17 degrees. fresher than the past week or so. saturday morning, degrees. fresher than the past week orso. saturday morning, nine o'clock, some showers pushing in across the north—west of scotland, more persistent rain in the far north, some sunny spells for the east of scotland, aberdeenshire and towards the north—east of england and northern ireland not having a bad morning. some outbreaks of rain for the north—west of england into the north of wales and a few drizzly showers across parts of southern and south—east england. it should be

clearing slowly towards the south—east through saturday so a pairof south—east through saturday so a pair of weather front is heading south and east across england and wales bullying spells of what weather but it will not be a wash—out. some shining between any of these areas of rain, sunny spells and scattered showers across scotland, quite windy across the northern isles and breezy across many parts of the country on saturday. temperatures between 15 and 23 degrees but feeling cooler than recently. a similar day on sunday, quite breezy with a mix of sunshine and showers but fewer showers on sunday compared with monday and most will be across western parts. in the sunnier spells, highs of 23 degrees in the london region, 15 to 16 degrees further north. to summarise the weekend, a fresher feel continues, quite breezy with a mix of sunshine and scattered showers but most

places sunday looks like the drier day and less windy, too. enjoy. today at five — after the grenfell tower fire — the police says they're examining a range of offences — including manslaughter. scotland yard say the cladding and insulation used on the building failed preliminary safety tests. if i find out that individuals or organisations have committed offences, then i must be in a position to prosecute without prejudice to any proceedings. it's been confirmed the fire started in a hotpoint fridge freezer — urgent tests are being carried out on the model. we'll be speaking to a corporate vice president at whirlpool — which owns hotpoint. the other main stories on bbc news at five... theresa may defends her proposals on the status of eu citizens in the uk post brexit — after they were criticised by the european council president.
