the grand finale on the main stage this evening. and at 2:30, the week in parliament dissects the queen's speech and asks whether the oath taken by new mps needs to change. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. 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 accomodation, as simon jones reports. i have to ask a supervisor whether they will let me back in if i leave... despite being told his tower block isn't safe, roger evans is refusing to go, believing the council is overreacting. each time he leaves, he's worried he won't be allowed back in. how do you feel about that? scared, i feel really nervous, upset, distressed. why won't you leave? as far as i'm concerned, this building is as safe now as it was last week, nothing has changed. but the council is clear — the cladding has failed safety checks and there are concerns about fire doors and gas pipes. the council have again today 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

have been made to residents, hundreds of others are staying with friends or family, but this could go on for weeks. some had to bed down for the night at the leisure centre. it's like starting a new life again, and how long am i going to go for? things have not been going smooth, as they should have 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 are continuing at pace. i think they've done the right thing, you have to err on the side of caution. you can't play russian roulette with people's safety. they've received the advice from the experts, and acted on the advice. the local government organisation says where cladding fails safety tests, buildings will not necessarily be evacuated,

but it's warning all areas waiting for test results to prepare contingency plans, so measures can be taken quickly. 0ur correspondent, simonjones, is in camden in north london. simon, the waiting goes on. i have just been i havejust been inside the i have just been inside the leisure centre behind me where the council is trying to reassure people and organise accommodation for those who need it. they say, so far, they have found accommodation in hotels or in some cases here at the leisure centre, for around 200 households, but that means the vast majority of people, hundreds, are staying with friends orfamily, people, hundreds, are staying with friends or family, and people, hundreds, are staying with friends orfamily, and it is unclear how long people will be able to do that, particularly if the building work last for about a month as is predicted. let's stock now to bobble tool from the residents‘

association. —— lets talk to bob 0‘toole. association. —— lets talk to bob o'toole. a lot of the residents are not happy. this is the first time something when this has happened since the war. everybody is working together to try to get things done. the people who are left in the blocks, they cannot take legal action, they do not want to go down that road, they want to use common sense to get people to leave, and the quicker they weave, the quicker we can get the work started. how forestalled the the council is being? people have been going back to pick

up people have been going back to pick up things. they are not being refused entry to the building. security are asking them for keys and phones, so they go in for half and phones, so they go in for half an hourand come and phones, so they go in for half an hour and come back out again. the not being intimidating, just using security measures. now because most flats are emptied it wants to make sure they are secure and no damage has been done, no flats are being broken into. ucd council does not wa nt to broken into. ucd council does not want to go down the legal route, but if people do not leave, they will have to, want the? yesterday will. they are currently speaking to the tenants, a lot of the residents have said the last couple of days they are not leaving. some of those, ten to 12 of them, have left. 0ne are not leaving. some of those, ten to 12 of them, have left. one way or another, they will have to leave. to 12 of them, have left. one way or another, they will have to leavelj have spoken to you in terms of your

role with the residents‘ association, but how have you been affected personally?” association, but how have you been affected personally? i am not thinking about myself. i have got nowhere to go, but i am thinking about the other residents. the families and the young kids and field people, they are the priority. last night i went for a few years with one of my friends and crashed out on his chair. —— a few beers. with one of my friends and crashed out on his chair. -- a few beers. do you think the council is good to be able to go with the situation? a lot of people are not going to be able to stay on someone‘s so far for an entire month. that is true. the council has said to me today that for people who are getting their own accommodation, you can go onto the council's website and tell them

where you are staying, who you are staying with. and then they will arrange payment for accommodation. are you angry that it has come to this? i am in a way, i was involved in the estate in the beginning when all the refurbishment was done with the cladding. we did stop at the beginning, we did to make sure it was stunned properly. so down the years, the health and safety regime has changed. things were 0k years, the health and safety regime has changed. things were ok then are not ok now, so with the fire service checking that it is not good enough. thank you forjoining us, i know you are busy helping other residents. what went wrong with the health and safety will be part of a much bigger enquiry, but at the moment, the focus is for providing roofs over the heads of people who most need it. simon jones in camden, the heads of people who most need

it. simonjones in camden, thanks very much. 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‘ve had some smiles and that never—ending handshake, but behind the scenes of the brexit negotiations, the man charged with doing a deal for britain seems uncertain as to whether he‘ll get one. i am pretty sure, i‘m not 100% sure, it‘s a negotiation. because you said right at the beginning of this, "we are guaranteed to get a deal, you can be sure we‘ll get a deal." we can be sure there will be a deal, of which the deal i want, which is the free trade agreement, the customs agreement and so on, 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 to 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 citizens living here. we‘re trying to ensure that every individual citizen gets their current position, as it were, locked in place this is the real issue, it‘s about people‘s anxiety, it‘s not about the prospect of deporting people, it‘s about the anxiety that they can‘t stay — that‘s the real issue. 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. we want to have effectively an invisible border between the north and south. now, there are technical ways of doing that — number plate recognition on vehicles, tagging of containers. the liberal democrats accused the brexit secretary of inspiring as much confidence as a drunken trapeze artist and said people should have the option of turning back.

if it's a bad outcome or if there's no outcome, which is potentially worse, with a catastrophic cliff edge, we should have the option of the public approving it or not approving it. as britain awaits the eu‘s go—ahead on trade talks, the government‘s promising tariff—free trade on goods, like bananas that come from developing nations, will continue. that trade is worth £20 billion a year, but that‘s less than 5% the value of the uk‘s total imports, so a trade deal with the eu is the big prize. more than 140 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‘s not terrorism related. 0ur reporter, sharon barbour, joins us at the scene from newcastle. sharon what is the latest? the police are giving a statement as we speak, so we will find out the latest from the police very shortly. but there is a real sense of shock here in the westgate area of newcastle after the car, as you say,

mounted the curb at the back of the sports centre where hundreds of people were celebrating eid with prey to mark the end of ramadan. we spoke to a couple of eyewitnesses. we we re spoke to a couple of eyewitnesses. we were wishing everybody happy eid, and suddenly we heard a lot of screaming. we did not know what it was. we were just talking when we heard a woman came from outside, started driving to the people. i do not think she has lost control of the car. there is a few casualties, people who are cds and injured. people are panicking, but the police did a greatjob to come the people down. i have seen some injured people, some families live the badly

injured. it happened like that. i was on the floor. it did not hit me. and my brother—in—law has been hit, so and my brother—in—law has been hit, so right now he is in the ivy i, taken so right now he is in the ivy i, ta ken by so right now he is in the ivy i, taken by ambulance. she did not do it on purpose, honestly. there was a real sense of panic, of course, fears that it was a terrorist related incident, but police have been very quick to stress they do not think it was. a 42—year—old woman has been arrested and the police are not looking for anyone else in connection to the incident. of the six people injured, three of those were children. a boy aged about eight was critically injured so we are about eight was critically injured so we are waiting for news on his condition. back to you. 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 the eu, and we have to be prepared to walk away. more than 140 people are feared to have been killed when a lorry transporting oil burst into flames in pakistan‘s punjab province. 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 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 5,000 cases per day. the scale of the outbreak is devastating. 0verall, more than 200,000 people are thought to have become infected. so far, 1,300 have died, of those, a quarter of are children. more than two years of conflict in yemen have devastated the country. fighting between rebels and government forces have killed more than 8,000 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 seven 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, 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. rescue officials are warning it is

unlikely anyone else will be found alive. 15 bodies have been pulled from the rubble so far, as well as three survivors. the bodies of over a dozen people have so far been recovered, but many more are feared trapped beneath the rubble. despite this, more than 3000 rescu e rs rubble. despite this, more than 3000 rescuers have been deployed to the scene of the tragedy. specially trained rescue dogs are scouring the debrief. emergency workers had some early success when they found this young baby and its parents. translation: at around five in the morning, the baby started crying, so

i changed the nappies. i heard a loud noise, and the front door was hit by wind and water. stones came flying and pinned me down to the ground. my wife and i got up, took the baby and escaped. there have been reports that three metres underground, there may still be village is trapped alive. listing devices have been deployed to pick up devices have been deployed to pick up any signs of life. heavy rain is thought to have triggered this landslide after the top section of a mountain came loose and came down onto the diligent below. 0ne are a regular danger in china, especially during heavy rains. 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. 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". performances are under way 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. the final day of music here is shaping up to feature a large variety of acts. right now on the pyramid stage behind me, jamie cullin is performing. 0n the second biggest stage area, there will be

performances from the likes of emile sande and rag and bone man. because the rain has been quite brief over the rain has been quite brief over the weekend, there has been the least amount of mud, this is the least amount of mud, this is the least muddy glastonbury for close to a decade. glastonbury will be taking a decade. glastonbury will be taking a year off a decade. glastonbury will be taking a yearoff in a decade. glastonbury will be taking a year off in 2018, so when ed sheeran closes the ship‘s festival, regular festival goers will be hoping it is a powerful enough performance to see them through until the next glastonbury in 2019. thousands of athletes from 23 islands from across the globe have travelled to sweden for the 2017 island games. jen smith has the details. 23 island nations, each with small populations, come together every two years to compete in their own bespoke competition. some have travelled from the arctic, others from warmer climes. so, why?

the island games is a wonderful event for islands with a population of less than 100,000. but it is an event where we can come together, regardless of the distance in between us, we can come together and celebrate what we all love to do and what we do best to represent our islands. for us gibraltarians, definitely, because olympics, europeans, we don't have a chance of medaling. this is where we have a chance of medaling finally, so yeah, this is a very big deal for us. it's about competition but also about making friends and having fun and meeting a lot of cool people. this year, gotland is the host. it‘s a swedish island in the baltic sea, and around 60,000 people live here. but for one week in june, over 2000 competitors from islands as far afield as st helena in the south atlantic and bermuda in the caribbean will come here. so how much work is involved in putting all that together?

how much work? a lot of work, i can tell you that. i‘ve been employed for two and a half years, and we‘ve been at this since 2007, or something like that. it‘s ten years in the making, basically, from the first thought of maybe hosting the games again, until coming to this day. and this day could see the beginning of an olympic career, like it has for some well—known brits. we‘ve got some old veterans in the guernsey cycling club now and their claim to fame is they once beat mark cavendish, which is quite funny looking back now, seeing how far he‘s come. there is some young hopefuls from the isle of man that are clearly following in his footsteps, so we‘ll see where they are in a few years. and for some, it‘s closer than that. andy from the isle of wight hopes to make it to the gold coast next april. i compete for scotland now in the commonwealth games. i‘ve done the last three games and the qualifying distance is 67.5 metres, which i‘m just short of this year. it would be nice to try and get the qualifying distance and get the trip to australia next year.

so while it is known as the friendly games, there‘s still some serious competition. jen smith, bbc news, gotland. time now to take a look at the weather forecast. which ireland would you like to be right now? a tropical one, and utterly! pass which ireland. peaking at 35 celsius in london. the week ahead, different prospects. a bit closer to where we should be for the time of your, ten to 12 celsius for many areas. to go with that, some rain as well. at the moment, on the a few splashes of rain for the uk. brightening up now in the north

west england after a great day so far. a few showers in northern scotland. still a bit of a breezy, but it is down now. most will finish the afternoon going into the evening try with sunny spells, and temperatures have peaked at around 20 degrees in the north—east. but will we does into a fresher night then we have been used for some time. the showers and will dissipate, one or two showers still in the west of scotland. it is good to bea in the west of scotland. it is good to be a cooler night than it has been for over a week. a bit of a chill in parts of scotland last week, and temperatures dip into single figures in parts of the countryside. but it is high pressure in charge to begin with, fairly short lived high pressure, but most. the day high and sunny —— dry and

sunny. just a few showers in the north—east. warming up nicely after that cool start, temperatures around 25 celsius in the south—east, and cloud amounts will increase from the west during the afternoon, so the sunshine turns hazy. skies will turn grey, particularly for northern ireland. into the evening rush—hour, northern ireland could see some heavy bursts of rain, and that will spread into central and southern scotland. lively totals expected overnight into the trossachs, and some heavy rain in the north—east of england and wales. mainly affecting northern and western areas, a more humid day, and some storms could brew later on tuesday. the wettest conditions at the moment are likely to be across scotland, the far north of england, and occasional rain added to the west. after a sunny morning, the south and east of

england, the storms could get going. and as i said, it brings is a different sort of week. breezy at times, too, and after last week when some of you saw clear blue skies for days on end, there will be more cloud around too. this is bbc news. the headlines: cladding on 34 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, david davis, says he‘s not sure the uk will get a withdrawal deal with the eu and that we have to be prepared to "walk away". you can be sure there‘ll be a deal — but the deal i want, the free trade deal, a customs deal. i‘m pretty confident but i‘m not certain. six people have been injured after a vehicle collides with pedestrians in newcastle. police say the incident is not terror—related. more than 130 people are feared

to have been killed, when a lorry transporting oil burst into flames in pakistan‘s punjab province.
