hello, good afternoon. tests are continuing on cladding from tower blocks around the country after it was revealed every one of the 3a samples tested so far has failed to meet fire safety standards. the towers tested so far are in 17 local council areas. the tests were ordered following the grenfell tower fire in which 79 people last their lives. meanwhile, residents of four tower blocks evacuated in camden on friday evening are spending a second day in temporary accommodation as simon jones reports. i have to ask a supervisor whether they will let me back in. despite being told his tower block is not safe, roger evans is refusing to go, believing the council is overreacting. each time he leaves, he is worried he won't be allowed back in. how do you feel? scared, upset, nervous, distressed. why won't you leave? as far as i'm

concerned, this building is as safe as it was last week, nothing has changed. but the council is clear, the cladding has failed safety chucks and there are other concerns. the council had been knocking on the doors of people who don't want to leave telling them that if they don't go, they risk delaying the work designed to make their homes safe. they say they could ultimately pursue a legal route to get people out but at the moment they want to use persuasion. so far, 200 offers of accommodation had been made to residents, hundreds of others are staying with friends and family but this could go on for weeks. some hand to bed down for the night at the leisure centre. it's like starting a new life again, and how long ami starting a new life again, and how long am i going to go for? things have not been going as smooth as they should in many people's eyes and it shouldn't happened like this. work has already started to improve this block which wasn't evacuated.

there are concerns over many other high—rises, 3a tower blocks in 17 areas have failed tests. more checks areas have failed tests. more checks are continuing apace.” areas have failed tests. more checks are continuing apace. i think they are continuing apace. i think they are doing the right thing, you have got to stay on the side of caution. you cannot play russian roulette with people's safety. they have acted on advice of safety experts. the local government organisation says where cladding failed safety tests building will not necessarily be evacuated but it's warning all areas to prepare contingency plans so measures can be areas to prepare contingency plans so measures can be taken quickly. and we can speak to simon now. simon, how is the operation to provide residents there with temporary accommodation going? 3000 residents have been affected by this evacuation. the council says so far it has found temporary accommodation for 200 households either in hotels or here at the leisure centre, which means the vast majority of people, hundreds of them, are staying with friends and

family. the big question is what happens to them after the weekend if they outstay their welcome. the council said it will encourage people to stay with friends and family as long as they count because this could go on for weeks but in reality they could be looking at finding hundreds more hotel rooms for the people affected, and on top of that it's a difficult situation for everyone concerned. there's also particular concern about the speed the tests are taking place on cladding across the country. so far 34 cladding across the country. so far 3a results have been revealed but the government says it can process 100 day but it is reliant on councils to get the samples in in good time. simon jones, thank you. simonjones in good time. simon jones, thank you. simon jones in north good time. simon jones, thank you. simonjones in north london. the brexit secretary, david davis, has said he is "pretty sure", that the uk can reach a suitable deal with brussels, on leaving the european union but has suggested britain may need a transitional arrangement if everything isn't agreed within the two—year time frame. mr davis insisted that britain had to be ready to walk away if the deal was a bad one.

susana mendonca reports. we have had some smiles and that never—ending handshake but behind the scenes of the brexit negotiations, the man charged with doing a dealfor britain negotiations, the man charged with doing a deal for britain seems uncertain as to whether he will get one. i am pretty sure, not 100% sure, one. i am pretty sure, not 10096 sure, it is a negotiation. you said at the beginning of this "we are guaranteed to get a deal, you can be sure we will get a deal." we will get a deal. i'm pretty sure, but i'm not certain. what the brexit secretary did seem certain about was that a transitional arrangement with the eu of between one and two years would have to be done. he said if there was no deal that would be better than a punishment deal and he had promised for eu living here. we are trying to make sure every individual citizen gets their current position as it were locked

in place for them so the anxiety can go. this is the real issue, it's about people's anxiety, not about the prospect of deporting people, about the anxiety they cannot stay. more details of that offer to eu citizens living and working in the uk will be laid out tomorrow but it's already been criticised by the european commission and the labour party for not going far enough. the irish border is another issue britain wants settled. they want to have effectively invisible border between the north and south. there are technical ways of doing that, number plate recognition on vehicles, tagging of containers. the liberal democrats accused david davies of inspiring as much confidence as a drunken trapeze artist and said people should have the option of turning back. artist and said people should have the option of turning backm artist and said people should have the option of turning back. if it is a bad outcome or there is no outcome and a catastrophic cliff edge, we should have the option of the public

approving it or not approving it. as britain awaits the go—ahead on trade talks, the government is promising territory —— tariff—free trade will continue. that trade is worth £20 billion a year but that's less than 596 billion a year but that's less than 5% the value of the uk ‘s total imports so the trade deal is the big prize. more than 120 people are feared to have been killed in pakistan, when an oil tanker — which had overturned on a highway — caught fire. villagers in the punjab province had rushed to the roadside after the tanker tipped over, many others are in critical condition in hospital. fire fighters have now brought the blaze under control. richard lister reports. the tanker blazed for hours after the explosion. 0nlookers struggled to control their grief. the blast consumed everything around it, killing scores of people in an instant and injuring many more. nearly all the victims came from surrounding villages. the tanker had come off the road, spilling thousands of litres of fuel.

in this impoverished area, people rushed to collect it. it's thought someone lighting a cigarette may have caused the explosion. the charred wreckage gives an idea of how many people were there. pictures too graphic to broadcast showed bodies piled by the road. "children were bringing buckets to take the petrol", he said. "there was a huge crowd and suddenly an enormous explosion." this man had a lucky escape, he'd already taken some petrol and then felt dizzy because of the fumes and decided not to go back for more. the army flew out some of those injured by helicopter. for many of the other casualties, the nearest hospitals were a two—hour drive. with so many people critically injured and requiring specialist burns care, the medical services have been stretched to the limit; hospital teams working flat out to assist the injured and console the bereaved. richard lister, bbc news. at least six people,

including three children, have been injured when a car collided with pedestrians in newcastle this morning. police have arrested a 42—year—old woman. the car mounted a pavement outside westgate sports centre, where hundreds of people were celebrating eid, which marks the end of ramadan. police say it is not terrorism related. performances are getting underway on the final day of the glastonbury festival. ed sheeran will bring the show to a close on the pyramid stage later on this evening. 0ur entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba is there. yes, the final day of music here is shaping up to feature a wide variety of acts. right now on the main pyramid stage behind me, popjazz artistjamie pyramid stage behind me, popjazz artist jamie cullum is pyramid stage behind me, popjazz artistjamie cullum is performing to an audience of several thousand. later on we will see the likes of chic and barry gibb. 0n the second

biggest stage area there will be performances from emile sande. as well as music the other m word is mud and because appearances have been quite leave this weekend, this is the least muddy glastonbury for close to a decade. glastonbury is taking a year off in 2018 so when ed sheeran closes the festival, festival goers are hoping it will be a powerful enough performance to see them through to the next glastonbury here in 2019. thank you. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. the next news on bbc one is at 6:30pm. bye for now. good afternoon. for those of you taking an early summer break in the week ahead, you might hear the

age—old expression, you should have been here last week. a week in which we saw the highestjune temperature recorded in over 41 years. at the week ahead shows temperatures at their very best will be a good 10 degrees lower and not only cooler through the week ahead, there will be spells of heavy hello. you're watching the bbc news channel. local authorities are being warned to prepare contingency plans in case more buildings fail safety tests, being carried out in response to the grenfell tower fire. earlier i spoke to baroness sal brinton, who sits on the all—party parliamentary fire safety and rescue group — and she explained how she believes the government should respond to major crises like the grenfell fire in future. we ought to trigger the sort of civil emergency system that came into place with the cumbria flooding is in 2015 to make sure everybody knows what's happening, if people are moved out at short notice, they

are moved out at short notice, they are kept informed. can they find accommodation with pets? were concerned about vulnerable tenants. it is not good in an emergency, and anyfamily it is not good in an emergency, and any family that needs to leave at short notice, it is an emergency. what would those measures mean in practice? year—old it is about making sure they understand why it is being evacuated —— not being evacuated, that they are safe, and to explain to people why it is not safe and they should move. camden have taken that advice. part of the overall problem is that the regulations have been softened since 2005, when the fire service no longer had to pass plans and buildings after major work had happened, and since then there has been this attitude that we need to

get rid of regulations rather than focus on safety. so i am really pleased that the focus is now back 0h pleased that the focus is now back on safety. but there is a consequence to that, which is a lot of work is going to need to be done ina lot of work is going to need to be done in a lot of tower blocks to prevent future fires. sajid javid ask a question this saying the government would provide help to local authorities to implement necessary changes. is that enoughin implement necessary changes. is that enough in financial terms? implement necessary changes. is that enough in financialterms? no, i think councils, having faced severe cuts in recent years, are really struggling. many emergency procedure is going to suck their resources are we straightaway. but frankly there is also a —— an issue about the lives of residents being disrupted, and whilst it is fine to say they are being given some money in the early days, if you are out of your home, for weeks or months,

compensation must be available straightaway. do you get the feeling so straightaway. do you get the feeling so that simply from the town of what government is saying, that that is probably going to come on stream down the line as well? well, i'm slightly concerned with the comment this morning that this is not a bottomless pit. the mindset is not 0h bottomless pit. the mindset is not on how do we solve the to see these residents are facing at the moment? i look forward to the government accepting responsibility. things need to happen, and the need happened very fast. —— they need to happen. as we've been hearing, a car has collided with pedestrians in newcastle, injuring six people. northumbria police were called following reports of a collision outside the westgate sports centre. police have arrested a 42—year—old woman, but say it's not thought to be a terror incident. 0ur reporter sharon barbourjoins us at the scene from newcastle. that is what happened as far as you

know. in a macro hundreds of people we re know. in a macro hundreds of people were gathered here to celebrate eid, a real sense of celebration in the sunshine. when suddenly a car seemed to be out of control and ploughed into a to be out of control and ploughed intoa group to be out of control and ploughed into a group of people, as you said six people hurt, three of those children, and one of those children critically injured. we had been wishing everybody happy eid, suddenly we heard a lot of shouting and screaming. we got ourselves to the scene, and we heard a woman came from outside, she had a nissan and started to drive at people. she lost power, i don't think she has lost control of the car. there are a few

casualties, with some seriously injured. the police did a greatjob. i've seen some injured people, a kid and his father were seriously injured. it happened like that. myself, i was on the floor. the back wheel and the front wheel past me. it didn't hit me. my brother—in—law was hit. so right now he is in hospital. so everyone was panicking. there was a real sense of panic as you can hear there, fears obviously connecting to other incidents recently, and the emergency services we re recently, and the emergency services were here very quickly, the air

ambulance, and a large emergency response. but as you say, ali2—year—old woman has been arrested, and police are keen to reassure people they do not believe this is a terrorist related incident. the police are out and about with extra patrols. —— a 42—year—old woman. the border in hospital remains critically injured. the headlines on bbc news: cladding on 3a tower blocks in 17 council areas in england fails safety fire tests — as some residents in north london whose blocks have been evacuated, insist on staying put. the brexit secretary has said he is not sure britain will get a deal with eu ashman eu, and we have to be

prepared to walk away. a vehicle has collided with pedestrians outside of a sports centre in newcastle. police say at the moment they're not treating it as a terror incident. sport now, and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's holly hamilton. lions head coach warren gatland says they have a huge week ahead of them, after defeat to the all blacks in the first test. they take on the super rugby champions hurricanes in wellington on tuesday, and gatland says there are still test places available for anyone who shines. rory best returns as captain for the hurricanes match — he was skipper for their best win on the tour so far, against the chiefs last week. every game, we've taken each one in isolation, everybody knew the bigger picture was the first test selection, that has been and gone and we have a chance to put our hand up and we have a chance to put our hand up for selection for the second test, andl up for selection for the second test, and i think if we start to look beyond and think too much about saturday, you take your eye off tuesday and you are of the ball of the defending champions, then you

will not to worry about saturday. the guys are going to get the chance to go out there and be very physical, and one area is the contact attack that was disappearing, but we did lots of things that were positive as well. england cricket captain heather knight says her side will recover from their surprise defeat by india in the opening match of the women's world cup. this being a round—robin stage, all eight teams play each other — and knight says the shock result has made them determined to put things right. we are in genuine —— in general quite an emotional team, but we will ta ke quite an emotional team, but we will take the positives from today and looked to tuesday. obviously there area looked to tuesday. obviously there are a few areas we need to get better, and we will be looking at tuesday. roger federer looks in great shape for the start of wimbledon next

week, after winning a ninth halle open title in germany. the 18—time grand slam champion laid waste to german fourth seed alexander zverev in straight sets in the final. after winning the australian open, federer sat out the entire clay court season, as he targets a record eighth wimbledon title. he didn't drop a set in the halle tournament, and beat sverev 6—1, 6—3 today. it could be a busy day for marin cilic at queen's. he's in the singles final at two o'clock, after beating gilles muller yesterday — and he's also in the doubles with marcin matkowski. they were trailing jamie murray and bruno soares in the semi—finals when rain stopped play. they'll resume after the singles final, with the doubles final straight afterwards. feliciano lopez will be trying to keep cilic from one of those titles. he needed three sets to see off grigor dimitrov, who beat him in the final three years ago. lopez said he'd wanted to win this tournament for his entire career, and was pleased to have another chance.

valentino rossi has won a moto gp race for the first time in more than a year after claiming victory at the dutch grand prix. the seven—time world champion started from fourth on the grid and fought off fellow italian danilo petrucci to take the chequered flag in assen. marc marquezjust edged out britain's cal crutchlow for third. the other british riders scott redding, sam lowes and bradley smith all crashed out. sir ben ainslie says he has some difficult phone calls to make, after his team failed to qualify for the america's cup final. they were comprehensively beaten by team new zealand in bermuda and he's planning some changes — but he's not giving up, even though it's the toughest thing he's ever done. i used to think of being an olympic sailor was hard work, but it is nothing compared to this. but i'm really proud of the team we have developed, and i want to be a big

pa rt developed, and i want to be a big part of that in the future. i am determined that we will get the americas cup home. the united nations says the number of suspected cases of cholera in yemen has now passed 200,000. the world health organisation and the un children's agency, unicef, say the country is facing the worst cholera outbreak in the world. rylee carlson reports. this child is being taken care of that a camp. unicef says the country has the worst cholera outbreak in the world. health officials are worried a lack of access to medical ca re worried a lack of access to medical care will mean more people will be affected, and more will die. this is double the caseload of two and a half weeks ago. we fear that the number will reach 300,000 just in

the next few weeks. the rate we are seeing is unprecedented. we are recording something like 5000 cases per day. the scale of the outbreak is devastating. overall, more than 200,000 people are thought to have become infected. so far, 1300 have died, of those, a quarter of children. more than two years of conflict in yemen have devastated the country. fighting between rebels and government forces have killed more than 8000 people. as is usually the case, civilians are paying the highest price. the situation is really a disaster at the moment. it is basically the result of continued conflict, and it is... almost 7 million people in yemen are on the

brink offamine, million people in yemen are on the brink of famine, making them more susceptible to diseases like cholera. unicef and the world health organisation said they are trying to teach people how to protect themselves by cleaning and storing drinking water, but the fighting means they do not have access to every area , means they do not have access to every area, making it difficult to stop the disease from spreading. more than 100 people are still missing after a massive landslide engulfed a village in china's sichuan province. at least 60 homes in maoxian were buried in mud and debris when the side of a mountain collapsed following days of heavy rain. 15 bodies have been pulled from the rubble so far, as well as three survivors. andy beatt reports. rescuers in china have been working through the night, in a well coordinated but increasingly desperate search for survivors. more than 2,000 police, soldiers and civilians are involved in the operation, sifting through mud and rubble, a task made more difficult by the darkness. earlier, the impact of the landslide was plain to see,

an entire village buried under tonnes of rock. the disaster triggered, it's thought, by recent heavy downpours, also blocking roads and rivers. hospitals are standing by to receive survivors, but so far there have been few. this month—old baby and its parents, lucky to be alive. translation: at around five o'clock in the morning the baby started crying, so i changed the nappies and then i heard a loud noise. i went to the front door, but i was hit by wind and water and stones came flying, that pinned me down to the ground. my wife and i slowly got up, held the baby and escaped. the emergency response has been swift, in an area used to deadly landslides and earthquakes. once roads were cleared, heavy digging equipment could be brought in. shouting.

but it's also been a case of using much more basic methods, sometimes even bare hands, to try to clear the debris. teams on the ground are being aided by life detection equipment and sniffer dogs, and helicopters deployed to bring in people and provisions. it's the biggest disaster to hit the area since a devastating earthquake in 2008, that left nearly 90,000 people dead or missing. local officials say that quake had weakened the mountain, making landslides more likely. president xi jinping has called for rescuers to spare no effort in their search, but as time passes, and with more heavy rain forecast, prospects are increasingly bleak. andy beatt, bbc news. the former snp leader, gordon wilson, has died after a short illness. he was 79. mr wilson led the party from 1979 to 1990, and represented dundee east at westminster for 13 years.

scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, said he'd made an "immense" contribution to the success of the snp. ministers say 48 of the poorest countries in the world will continue to have duty—free access to the uk after it leaves the european union. the international trade department said the decision would mean prices for imports such as sugar and bananas would not be affected by brexit. our business correspondent joe lynam has the details. some of our most popular ingredients and products, like cocoa or bananas, are grown in some of the world's poorest countries. to help almost 50 of them expand their economies, the eu already allows them to export their goods tariff—free into europe. now the government has confirmed that this will be maintained after britain leaves the eu. it means products such as bananas, sugar and coffee should not be any more expensive for uk households when imported after 2019. the uk imports almost £20 billion a year tariff—free from 48

developing countries, including haiti, ethiopia, bangladesh and sierra leone. exports of arms and defence equipment are not included in this trade agreement. we want as we leave the european union to be champions of globalfree trade, pointing out that it has already taken more people out of poverty in the last 25 years than in the whole of human history up to that point. we've got to keep that momentum going, we've got to get the big economies opening up, and we've got to give the opportunities to the developing countries to trade their way out of poverty. assuming britain quits the european customs union as well as the eu, it will be free to conduct its own trade deals with any country. that could also allow it to expand the list of poor countries with tariff—free access to uk markets in future. joe lynam, bbc news. the archbishop of canterbury, justin welby, has urged theresa may to set up a cross—party commission to advise her on brexit. writing in the mail on sunday,

he says such a commission could "hold the ring for the differences to be fought out" and "draw much of the poison from the debate". good news this afternoon. we've seen some more cloud breaks than expected. good news for holiday—makers. , sorry, the gardeners, not the holiday—makers. there is some rain on the rave. most will be dry. a few showers across scotland. easing down, temperatures in the teens. it does feel a bit fresher than the weak squad. and to deny cloud remaining will be dotted across northern saughton. the way
