this is bbc news. the headlines at 8:00 — 27 high—rise blocks of flats across england have failed fire safety tests on their external cladding according to government figures. four buildings in camden in north london were evacuated last night by the authorities for "urgent fire safety works". they said there was nothing that we could do to guarantee residents‘ safety that night. in that situation, given the circumstances we are in, i thought we had to act swiftly. we are making sure the authority has the ability to do what is necessary to ensure that people have somewhere to stay and that the work is done so that those tower blocks will become safe for them to return in the future. some residents spent the night in hotels or on airbeds you have to leave, pack a bag. i said, for how long? they said, just for a couple of days. i said, what if we don't leave? and they said, well, we will have the police around to forcibly remove you from your flat. also in the next hour — a cyber attack at westminster. house of commons authorities say they‘ re investigating attempts to hack mps' and peers' email accounts.

labour leaderjeremy corbyn urges the glastonbury crowds to make a difference, saying he was inspired by the number of young people who'd got involved in politics for the first time. all blacks defend their record against the british and irish lions, beating their visitors 30—15 in their first head to head of the three test series. good evening. 27 high rise buildings around the country have failed fire safety tests on their external cladding, according to the latest government figures. thousands of buildings, including some schools and hospitals, are now being checked following the grenfell tower disaster. camden council in north london has defended its decision to evacuate four tower blocks at short notice, moving hundreds of people into emergency accommodation. our correspondent,

richard lister, reports. why was we all ordered to be evacuated at 8.30 at night? tempers were running high today, the leader of camden council took the brunt of the frustration from people evacuated overnight. i am being told they can't rehouse me because i've got a dog. a hotel place was found for this woman, and her dog, but there are thousands of others, people and pets, facing weeks of uncertainty. more than 100 spent the night at this leisure centre. the cladding at four of these blocks is similar to that on grenfell tower, but it was issues with gas pipes and fire doors that made the fire service they said there was nothing that we could do to guarantee residents' safety that night. in that situation, you know, given the circumstances we are in, i thought we had to act swiftly. peter bertram, who is 94, had to leave the flat he has had for almost 50 years. i felt sorry for people who are a lot worse

than me, especially with children. they have to carry on. but there are at least 80 flats where residents are refusing to leave. i really cried last night. the council officials came to the door, banging on the door, "get out, get out," but the chap round the hallway said, "no, she's not going, she is getting on for 80. "she can't go anywhere, she's got a cat." work is under way to fix the faults but it will take weeks to complete. the residents of this tower block feel themselves to be in limbo, unsure of just how dangerous this building is and how long they might be excluded from their homes. in some cases it is possible to take mitigating action and the fire service are content that the blocks are safe, in others it has been necessary for people to move out on a temporary basis, that is what happened in camden last night. most living in these blocks have been back to get enough for an extended stay somewhere

else, even as others argue there is no need to leave. 0ur reporter amy cole is in north london. it is much quieter now we here at the leisure centre, but for most of the leisure centre, but for most of the day, it has been a hive of activity as residents have come here to register themselves and to try to find out information from camden council about where they can go. hours later, i have been speaking to residents who have vented their anger and frustration that they still do not feel like a proper plan has been put in place. they were broken up at three o'clock this morning, and were told to pack their bags and leave their flats. some people have just found out that they have emergency accommodation, and others are wondering where they will

go. some people slept here on your beds last night, including carl taylor, who joined beds last night, including carl taylor, whojoined me now. what has the last few hours been like for you? chaos, confusion, a mess. you have got a dog, so what happened last night when you had to leave your flat? i was told to come to the leisure centre, and that is when i was told we would be staying there. i was told i would not be allowed to have my dog there, so i managed to get a friend to look after my dog. you had a bed allocated to you, but there have been problems, having their? yes, the tension with kids being in there all day, energy building up, tensions are rising. people are jumping all over the

place, there is not truly anywhere to go. people's stuff is getting trampled over. head is it feel to know that you are living in a tower block with cladding that can burn? it is terrifying. i was thinking about what people in the block would have to deal with a it ever happened. another night here in the leisure centre? yes. many residents i have spoken to say they have not left their flats, they have lived here for years. some bod food just yesterday for the weekend, and they wa nt yesterday for the weekend, and they want a proper plan in place from the council before they decide to pack their bags and leave. it has been a tricky and complex situation. but in the past couple of hours, we have seen people arriving with food and water, and also earlier, somebody

came with balloons for the children. but it is a saturday, people are hoping to spend time with their families, relax a bit. instead, they have had a very stressful day and it has not been easy for anyone that i have spoken to. local authorities across the uk are working urgently to identify other buildings at risk. fire safety officers are carrying out inspections, with suspect cladding sent for independent testing. the government has promised to meet the costs but some councils are warning they need more help, as duncan kennedy reports. no amount of days that pass can ease the hurt of loss felt by those left bereft by the grenfell fire. in silence and in unity, volunteers and families of some of those who died gathered today, near the tower to reflect. not since the second world war have so many buildings been subject to checks in the aftermath of a single fire. 27 blocks have failed safety

inspections across 15 councils. birmingham says the government must help pay for it. retrofitting of sprinklers should be one of our responses here, and when your chief fire officer of your region tells you that, clearly as the leader of a city you have to listen to that so we started to look at the figures and it comes round £31 million. manchester, plymouth, hounslow and portsmouth are many others are also facing huge bills. the government insists it will help on a case by case basis. if they need financial support, not all will need it, if they need it we will work with them to make sure they have the resources to do this necessary work, absolutely. that will not be put at risk. the grenfell fire was reflected today, at glastonbury, jeremy corbyn appeared on the pyramid stage pressing for what he calls a national government response. is it right that so many

people are frightened of where they live at the moment, having seen the horrors of what happened in grenfell tower? away from the crowds in west london, the fire continues to draw people to reflect on the disaster, and the difficulties being felt. and what all this means, is that in the ten days since grenfell, the lives of literally thousands and thousands of people have been affected. and with more testing on cladding, fire doors, pipes, and other buildings still to come, those numbers will almost certainly increase. as those checks continue, resources everywhere are being put under huge pressure, the one capacity there is no shortage of is sympathy. firefighters have been tackling a blaze at a block of flats in east london. one person has been taken to hospital

and residents have been evacuated after the fire broke out in the four—storey building on turin street in bethnal green. london fire brigade said 72 firefighters were at the scene. and we'll find out how the latest developments in these stories and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:40. and 11:30 this evening in the papers. 0ur guestsjoining me tonight are martin lipton, who's deputy head of sport at the sun and the journalist and broadcaster, rachel shabi. parliament has been hit by a cyber—security attack. house of commons authorities say they are investigating unauthorised attempts to access mps and peers' email accounts. mps were told about the attack on friday night. the international trade secretary liam fox said people needed to make sure they used strong passwords. we know that there are regular attacks by hackers attempting to get passwords. we have seen reports in the last few days of even cabinet ministers' passwords being for sale online. we know that our public services are attacked so it is not at

all surprising that there should be an attempt to hack into parliamentary e—mails so it is a warning to everybody, whether they are in parliament or elsewhere, that they need to do everything possible to maintain their own cyber security, including having complex and therefore safer codewords. professor alan woodward is a cyber security specialist at the university of surrey, and hejoins us from wiltshire via webcam. thank you forjoining us this evening. just how easy would it have been to spot that the system is being compromised? in this case, probably reasonably easy, because they caught it before it was compressed. this was the same thing as somebody rattled in a lot of door handles and seeing if anything was open. it is quite a ham—fisted

attempt. a lot of repeated attempts attempt. a lot of repeated attempts ata attempt. a lot of repeated attempts at a lot of the 0s, which would have shown up very quickly, which is how the noticed this unusual activity going on on friday morning. we all misspell our passwords sometimes, but when you start seeing it happening dozens, thousands of times, then you know that somebody is trying something. it sounds like quite a laboriously to go about such an operation. unfortunately not, because of course, you can alternate. you can write relatively simple programmes. in this case, the login names were probably a poor‘s e—mail addresses, just like me at the university, mps' e—mail addresses are known. so you put those in and try lots of different passwords. and as doctor fox was just saying, we have seen in the last few days, some of these are

actually for sale on the dark web, so actually for sale on the dark web, soi actually for sale on the dark web, so i would not be at all surprised if we found that people are picking up if we found that people are picking up lists of these. they are just automated and run through them to see if any of them actually still work. as it is simple a matter as doctor fox was saying, everyone just has to have strong passwords? in essence, yes, but the best password is the one you can't remember. i don't know about anybody else, but i have d oze ns don't know about anybody else, but i have dozens of accounts, so i cannot remember them all. if you ask me my passwords to most things, i could not tell you. so iu use a password manager where i have to remember one password, which is not very concentrated. and then that actually generates very strong passwords for me. but also, in some of these systems including the ones that the

mps use, they use to stage verification, which we have all probably is. as well as prison any username and password, it then text you with a cord that is only valid for about a minute, and then you have to put that in as well. and that makes it a lots more difficult for the hackers, so i would encourage people to use 2—stage authentication whenever you can. and how likely is it that they will find the culprits? there is the rub. these days, they can hide behind different networks and hide where they are. they might appear to know where it is coming from, but they probably will not find them. the they, ,, .. find the they, ... find them gm 2,2 do if they they e5 g , irrrl
