this is bbc news. i'm ben brown live in warrington, where it's been announced that six people are to be charged in connection with the hillsborough football stadium disaster 28 years ago. that has been announced by the crown prosecution service. following these thorough investigations and our careful review of the evidence in accordance with the code for crown prosecutors, i have decided there is sufficient evidence to charge six individuals with criminal offences. the senior police officer at the match, former chief superintendent david duckenfield, will be charged with the manslaughter of 95 people. relatives of some of those who died at hillsborough say it's the right decision. i'm absolutely delighted. we've got today everything that we could have asked for. hello, i'm simon mccoy

with anita mcveigh. the other headlines here on bbc news: after the grenfell tower fire, the prime minister tells mps it appears the cladding used wasn't compliant with building regulations. 37 authority is had been tested and have failed the combustibility tests. when you cut local authority budgets by 40%, we all pay a price in public safety. a world—wide cyber attack continues to wreak havoc for a second day — france's biggest bank is its latest victim. and the creator of paddington, michael bond, has died at home after a short illness at the age of 91. good afternoon from warrington.

the crown prosecution service has announced today that it is charging six individuals in relation to the hillsborough stadium disaster, 1989, 28 years ago. relatives of some of those who died in the disaster have said they welcomed the decision to charge those six individuals, and among those are the former south yorkshire chief superintendent david duckenfield, the match commander in the stadium on the day of the disaster, who is charged with manslaughter by gross negligence. it is alleged by the cps that his failures on the day were "extraordinarily bad and contributed substantially to the deaths of the football fa ns substantially to the deaths of the football fans that day." the former chief constable, sir norman bettison,

will face four charges — relating to alleged lies he told in the aftermath about the culpability of fans. asi as i say, the families have welcomed these charges and they have been briefed in this building behind me by the crown prosecution service. let's get this report now from judith mauritz. let's get this report now from judith moritz. they've had enquiries, inquests and investigations, but the hillsborough families have never seen public criminal prosecutions against anyone involved in the 1989 disaster. they've waited nearly 30 years for this moment. this morning they arrived full of hope and anxiety, to be told that six people are to face prosecution. they include david duckenfield, who was in charge of policing the match, and sir norman bettison who is alleged to have lied about fans after the disaster. there is sufficient evidence to charge former chief superintendent david duckenfield with the manslaughter by gross negligence of 95 men,

women and children. mr duckenfield was the match commander on the day of the disaster. david duckenfield, seen here in 1989, is being charged with the manslaughter of all but one of the 96 liverpool fans who died in the disaster. we are unable to charge the manslaughter of anthony bland, the 96th casualty, who died almost four years later. this is due to time limitations imposed by the law as it applied at the time. the liverpool fans were killed when the terraces at the sheffield ground became overcrowded during the 1989 fa cup final. david duckenfield had ordered the opening of an exit gate through which fans poured into the ground. in the years after hillsborough, sir norman bettison rose through the ranks to become chief constable — of merseyside

and later west yorkshire. given his seniority prosecutors will askjurors to find he abused the public‘s trust. former chief constable norman bettison is charged with four offences of misconduct in public office. this relates to alleged lies he told about his involvement in the aftermath of hillsborough, and the culpability of vans. the bereaved families emerged from their meeting with the cps having learned there will be prosecutions. i am absolutely delighted. we've got today everything we could have asked for. the decisions by the cps, in my opinion were correct, are correct. and we look forward to the due process through the court of law. graham mackrell was sheffield wednesday company secretary and safety officer in 1989 — he is accused of failing to carry out his duties charged under health and safety law and the safety of sports ground act.

peter metcalf was the solicitor acting for south yorkshire police who is charged with perverting the course of justice in relation to amendments made to witness statements. former officers chief superintendent donald denton, in the middle here, and dci alan foster, who is not shown, are charged with the same offence, donald denton is said to have overseen the process of altering statements. no one from the ambulance service is being prosecuted and no organisation will face corporate charges. it's the culmination of more than four years of work by hundreds of investigators, they have looked through thousands of documents including police notebooks from 1989 which were recovered from lofts, garages and offices and combed through page by page. investigations have cost in the region of £100 million and expectations of prosecutions were high. donna miller lost her brother paul carlyle at hillsborough — today is a hard day, her mother did not live to see the prosecutions announced.

the fact my mum is not here, this is the first big event she's not here, she died on the 26th of april this year, and this was a day she was determined to be here for. so it's sad for me without my mum. the youngest to die was just ten years old, the oldest a pensioner. they were all and lawfully killed. —— they were all unlawfully killed. there have long been calls for justice, now almost 30 years after they were killed those said to be responsible will face trial and the prospect ofjail. that was judith moritz reporting. the crown prosecution service were considering criminal charges against more than 20 suspects including individuals and organisations, so we know now that sex are actually being charged. the families have welcomed those charges —— we know that six of them are actually being charged. they have been searching for accountability, and we have been hearing from trevor hicks, who lost

his two daughters in the disaster, and also margaret aspinall who lost her sonjames, and also margaret aspinall who lost her son james, and she and also margaret aspinall who lost her sonjames, and she was saying that 28 years of torture, she sees it as that 28 years of torture, she sees itasa that 28 years of torture, she sees it as a beginning to the end of that porter. —— of that torture. you know, we've had so many knock backs we doubted whether it would ever happen sometimes. mixed feelings, i think. as i said, there are no victors in this, but we do feel, and we have said all along, that things have been done and said that should never have happened, and things haven't been done that should have been, and obviously for the independent cps, on our behalf and society at large, have now preferred charges against some people and obviously we can't discuss those now because of the sub judice, as i've said. i'm just going to add to that, what trevor's said. i think what it has done today, obviously we have changed the course hopefully for the future of the country that, you know, don't ever give up hope, that if you carry on fighting, as the families have

for all of those years, that things can change, and things must change, and this must never happen again. no one should have to go through what these families have gone through for 28 years to try and get to the truth, to get accountability especially. i think that is important, and i think now what has been achieved today will change things for the good of this nation, and i think that's the legacy of our 96, that they will have left behind, on their behalf. that was margaret aspinall, and before her trevor hicks, who both lost children in the hillsborough disaster, and have campaigned for 20 yea rs disaster, and have campaigned for 20 years for in their words justice and accountability. let's speak to the labour mp for garston and halewood, maria eagle, who worked hard to help the campaign to bring justice for the hillsborough victims. thanks for being with us. as trevor

hicks said, we have to be careful in discussing this because of sub judice, but what are your thoughts on the decision by the cps to bring criminal charges against these six individuals? i never thought i would see the day. i can recall seeing in 2009 when andy burnham and it called for the full publication of the documentation that became part of the panel process, i said one of the reasons people should bring forward documentation is there was no chance of any documentation is there was no chance ofany criminal documentation is there was no chance of any criminal proceedings, so i am glad to have been proven wrong in that respect, but today i think particularly about the families and survivors, who fought for so long, many of whom have not lived to see this further vindication of the effo rts this further vindication of the efforts they have made. they have never given up, and i think, asbos trevor hicks and margaret aspinall said in yourfilm there, i think that what they have achieved over this period of time is something that nobody in this country will never forget. yes, and they were

saying above all this is about accountability. yes, they have fought for truth and forjustice, and until this time there have never been any criminal charges arising out of the events of that day and subsequent events. they have not been any brought by public authorities, and i think that now there are, we will look forward to seeing those who have been charged, who have a right to a fair trial, brought before a court of law, beforejudges and brought before a court of law, before judges and juries, in brought before a court of law, beforejudges and juries, in order to deal with the charges that have been laid against them, and at the end of that process i think finally hillsborough and its aftermath will be over. are you satisfied it has been a thorough process by the crown prosecution service? we know they have taken six months to consider more than 100,000 pages of evidence

from these two separate criminal investigations, one into the events surrounding the disaster, and then the ipcc investigation into the allegations of a cover—up after the disaster? i am sure of that. i know how hard the ipcc worked, and what effo rts how hard the ipcc worked, and what efforts they went to to do a thorough properjob, efforts they went to to do a thorough proper job, both efforts they went to to do a thorough properjob, both in respect of the inquests and the subsequent investigations. i am absolutely certain that the cps have looked very carefully at the evidence that was put to them, and have decided that these charges were appropriate. soi that these charges were appropriate. so i have no doubt about the fact that the efforts made by the ipcc and by the cps have been outstanding and by the cps have been outstanding and appropriate, and we now wait to see these trials, these legal proceedings, go ahead. we will see at the end of that process, at the end of this period, when those accused will receive a fair trial, we will see what the outcome is, and i think at that point the fight for

truth and justice that the hillsborough families have waged for so hillsborough families have waged for so long, and that the survivors and the city of liverpool have helped them with, i think that that will be them with, i think that that will be the end of an extremely long process , the end of an extremely long process, but one about which they can be extremely proud. maria eagle, thank you very much. good to speak to you. thank you for your time. maria eagle, mpfor to you. thank you for your time. maria eagle, mp for garston and hillwood. just to say, most of those who have been charged will appear in court here in warrington before warrington magistrates, and that is on august nine. that is the latest from warrington. back to you in the studio. thank you very much, ben brown. two other news. to other news. there were strong exchanges this morning when survivors of the grenfell tower fire confronted the housing minister on the bbc. residents told alok sharma that authorities had failed to provide adequate accommodation since the disaster. richard lister reports. two weeks ago, the nation looked on in horror at the worst fire in britain since world war ii.

it took days for an official estimate of 79 dead to emerge and it is a number most on this estate believe is far too low. the council was overwhelmed, the relief effort too slow. it has improved. but for the survivors, every day is a new challenge. you receive a call from the council saying your hotel is booked. you go down to breakfast the next morning, they ask you what time you are checking out. you ring them up, no one seems to know what is going on. they have offered us high—rise towers and i have expressed to them that we're petrified, traumatised, and so are the kids. it is very hard when you don't say goodbye to someone, but it is even worse when you do not even know you should be saying goodbye. the housing minister met residents today on the bbc derbyshire programme. it was a tense encounter. i want a permanent accommodation. if you do not give me permanent accommodation,

i'm not going to accept it. the government is still struggling to convince survivors that their needs will be met. anyone whose home has been destroyed will be housed by next wednesday in good accommodation and in housing that is acceptable to them. so what we are not going to do is if you're offered a home, you do not like it, and you are still asked to go in, that is not going to happen. 68 families will be housed locally in these apartments, hopefully next month. but there are almost 400 households still in hotels. government money is being distributed — almost £1.7 million so far. including £5000 emergency payments to more than 100 households. grenfell is a national disaster with national repercussions. it is now confirmed that cladding from 120 buildings in 37 local authority areas has failed fire safety tests. richard lister, bbc news.

the government says 120 tower blocks in 37 local authority areas in england have now failed fire safety tests. theresa may gave the update as she faced mps in herfirst prime minister's questions since she lost her parliamentary majority in the general election. 0ur political correspondent iain watson reports from westminster. they say a week is a long time in politics, so the eight weeks since the last prime minister's questions must seem like a lifetime for theresa may. she was putting on a brave face, but the prime minister's lost her majority. labour gained rather than shed seats. a third of the snp's westminster contingent have gone, and ten dup mps from northern ireland are, in the words of their leader, hugely influential. but an even more dramatic event dominated pmqs, the grenfell tower today. jeremy corbyn was told a

judge would be appointed soon, and then the prime minister said that at then the prime minister said that at the wider problem was the cladding of tower blocks. as of this morning the cladding from across the country and 37 local authority areas had been tested and feel the combustibility tests. given the 100% failure rate we are very clear with local authorities and housing associations, they should not wait for test results but should get on with the job of the fire safety checks, and indeed they are doing that. the exchanges became far more robust when the labour leader linked the tragedy to spending cuts. under her predecessor, fire safety audits and inspections were cut by a quarter. fire authority budgets were cut by a quarter. can the prime minister gave an assurance to the house that the further 20% cuts to the fire service is planned by 2020 will now be halted? but she said that was not the issue. the question is that why is it despite that we

have seen a local authority area after a local authority area materials being put up that appear not to comply with those building regulations? when you cut local authority budgets by 40%, we all pay authority budgets by 40%, we all pay a price in public safety. what the tragedy of grenfell tower has exposed is the disastrous effects of austerity. this should be an issue that across this house we recognise isa that across this house we recognise is a matter that has been developing over decades, a matter that has occurred under governments of both colours, and councils of all political persuasions. today's pmqs was a bit of a warm up for a wider debate on the queen's speech, the government's programme for the next two years. labour will argue not only for more cash for the emergency services, but also that the public

sector pay cap should be lifted. they know they will not win that vote. theresa may has the support of the dup. but whatjeremy corbyn is trying to do is put pressure on conservative mps who are complaining that their constituents are simply fed up of public sector pay restraint and spending cuts. and it looks like pressure is being felt. when the defence secretary was asked about the 1% pay cap, he hinted it may be lifted in future.|j about the 1% pay cap, he hinted it may be lifted in future. i think we expect inflation to start falling back again from the autumn onwards and it is obviously something we have to consider, notjust for the army, but right across the public sector as a whole. other ministers we re sector as a whole. other ministers were not exactly defending the pay cut either. what we have been very clear about and the prime ministers, we obviously have to learn lessons from the general election, they will bea from the general election, they will be a budget this year and the chancellor will set out our plans in that budget. the nursing union are calling for a pay rise. jeremy corbyn will be hoping he has caught the mood of the nation, but the

conservatives say only they can deliver the strong economy necessary to fund public services. 0ur assistant political editor norman smith is at westminster. this issue of austerity, a pay cap. how angry are those conservative mps? angry enough to vote against the government? not tonight, simon, no, but there are real concerns that the austerity issue cost them a lot of damage during the general election, and i think there is? in many of their minds about how long it is possible to persist with austerity because we have had seven years of pay freezes and pay caps, benefit freezes and benefit cuts, and the question is can you really go on much longer? under current projections it is envisaged austerity will continue for at least another seven to eight yea rs for at least another seven to eight years until 2025 and i think frankly many tory mps believe that is beyond the realms of what is politically possible, and what was interesting is that in the aftermath of pmqs, a

prime minister spokesperson was asked about this pay cap, and to say the least some of his answers, saying that the government was listening to the electorate, they would look at what pay review bodies said, it seemed to me to give a pretty clear indication that ministers are looking at finding a way that can get them off the hook of this pay cap, because at a time when, you know, inflation is beginning to pick up, to persist with this pay cap will cause a real and continuing pain for many people in the public sector. just looking at the tone of pmqs, particularly with the issue of cladding after the g re nfell tower with the issue of cladding after the grenfell tower fire was brought up, it seemed to have regenerated if you like the old pmqs. it was a much more lively session, i suppose, than we are perhaps used to recently? more lively session, i suppose, than we are perhaps used to recently7m was, andi we are perhaps used to recently7m was, and i thought also it was much more political on the issue of g re nfell tower, more political on the issue of grenfell tower, which by and large, not totally, but by and large mps

has steered away from trying to make political arguments or political points about grenfell tower so soon after the tragedy. today we had jeremy corbyn very direct in seeing it exposed the disastrous effects of austerity, and theresa may replying that it was an under tony blair the cladding was put up. i think until this gets going a bit of a vacuum, and into that step the politicians and into that step the politicians and the arguments become pretty acrimonious and charged. the problem i think is in getting this inquiry up i think is in getting this inquiry up and running because we are now two weeks on from when theresa may announced they would be an inquiry and we are still waiting on a judge being appointed although she said initially he would be appointed "within days." i think the difficulty is inversely trying to free up a judge from the normal judicial timetable, but secondly in finding a judge who wants to do it, and that maybe an issue, because obviously it will be a very high—profile inquiry. you look at

the reception people like chilcot had after his inquiry, accusations ofa had after his inquiry, accusations of a whitewash and that sort of thing, but i suspect also there may bea thing, but i suspect also there may be a slight reservation as well when you look at the child abuse inquiry, we're againa you look at the child abuse inquiry, we're again a lot of focus on who the person chairing the inquiry was, and so maybe it is proving much harder to find a cheer for this inquiry than people initially thought. norman, more later. for now, thank you very much, norman smith. the creator of paddington bear, the author michael bond, has died at the age of 91. from paddington‘s first appearance in print in 1958 he proved a hit with young readers and he was later reinvented successfully on tv and more recently for film. 0ur arts correspondent david sillito looks back at his life. paddington theme paddington, charming, accident

prone. the creation of a former bbc cameraman, michael bond, and modelled on his father. good afternoon. can i help you? my father was a very polite man, always wore a hat in case he met somebody, and paddington has a lot of him in him. he had written the first story after buying a toy beer, not thinking it would ever be published, but it was only the beginning. millions were sold and translated into more than 30 languages —— a toy bear. he also wrote another children's favourite from the 70's, with passley the first night. there is passley. sometimes mr 0nion let him bring the school bell. hello, passley. but it was paddington who grew and grew. there was of course the tv programme. . . there was of course the tv programme... paddington musical...

paddington film... my name is... and... this was the prototype made by shirley clarkson for her children joanna and jeremy. yes, that's jeremy clarkson. mrs bird made very good stews and if he had any complaints at all it was that her dumplings were a little on the small side. friendly, polite, with a hint of marmalade. there have been many fictional bears, but none quite like michael bond's, paddington. michael bond, who has died at age of 91. we will be speaking to the children's laureate at half past this afternoon about michael bond. a cyber attack which hit organisations around the world yesterday is being brought under control, according to security analysts.

among the institutions affected were the ukrainian central bank, the british advertising agency wpp and the port of rotterdam. researchers say they've developed a programme that can protect individual computers, although it can't stop the bug from spreading. let's speak to professor bill buchanan from the school of computing at edinbrugh napier university, and a fellow of the british computer society. professor, thank you very much for joining us. it was around this time yesterday that news of this cyber attack was starting to break. what more do we know about it today? we actually know how it was propagated, we know the methods it is actually using, to be able to discover things like passwords, and certainly this isa like passwords, and certainly this is a much more serious piece of his two va n is a much more serious piece of his two van wannacry was, but it still has some fundamental flaws and it allows us to be able to stop it from operating —— than ransomware was. developers say they have a programme

to stop individual users, but they cannot stop is barred from spreading. is that typical or is it sometimes possible to stop the spread of a virus or a bug in a cyber attack? the best way to stop the propagation is to update firewalls, and so on, to have some sort of awareness, but certainly in terms of patching against the system, they found ways to update their virus scanners on computers to be able to detect it and stop it from operating. but because this is being done on an individual computer by computer basis, it is quite a slow process, isn't it? compared to the rate at which this attack spread? yes, that will really depend on the speed of response, but it is typically the soft underbelly of systems that have been attacked here. it was the ones that probably we re here. it was the ones that probably were not patched after wannacry that are probably being exposed here, so

really companies need to patch now. with wannacry and with this, you talk about the soft underbelly of computer systems, but actually are organisations because of attacks of this nature are becoming more aware of what they need to do to protect themselves? i think they are, but obviously different industries have different levels of maturity. the financial sector tends to have good centralised security, good virtualisation computers, good patch updates, but obviously something, an area like the nhs, it has weighed and disparate network that will have old systems, so i think there needs to be large—scale investment —— it has wide and disparate network. i think there needs to be large—scale investment in our it infrastructure to stop this from happening. from edinburgh university, professor bill buchanan, thank you very much. time to catch up with the weather.

another wash—out for many of us. yesterday it was pouring across the south—east and east and today the rain is moving further northwards and you can see its journey in the last 18 hours or so, most of it falling across eastern areas overnight. more than a month's falling across eastern areas overnight. more than a months worth of rainfall in less than 2a hours really. today it is around lincolnshire, eastern parts of yorkshire, really most of northern england really damp, and also another area of heavy rain in the south—west as well. the south—east is drier today and also in scotland you can see much drier weather. perhaps some sunshine coming through there. this band of rain will continue to make it very slow, painfully slow, journey northwards, saw rain tonight in newcastle eventually, into edinburgh, then some rain across the south—west, maybe nudging back into southern england. parts of the midlands, east anglia and the south—east are dry. this is bbc news.

the headlines: six men are to be prosecuted in connection with the hillsborough disaster — they include the police commander on the day, david duckenfield, who is facing charges of manslaughter by gross negligence. relatives of some of those who died at hillsborough say it's the right decision. i'm absolutely delighted. we've got today everything that we could have asked for. theresa may has told mps that it appears the cladding at grenfell tower, in which 79 people are believed to have died, was "not compliant" with building regulations. so far 120 tower blocks across england have failed fire safety tests. and the creator of paddington, michael bond, has died at home after a short illness at the age of 91. it's time for sport. let's cross to

the bbc sports centre and catch up with will parry. world number one and defending champion andy murray has been confirmed as the top seed for wimbledon. it takes into account recent grass—court form, with murray heading the "big four", followed by novak djokovic, roger federer and rafael nadal. it's the first time in 12 grand slams that the four players have been named top seeds for a major and that keeps them apart until the semi—finals. german angelique kerber is the top women's seed with britain'sjohanna konta sixth. the second seed in the men's draw for wimbledon, novak djokovic, has been in action this morning in eastbourne. after a near wash—out yesterday on the south coast, centre court was packed, as the world number four beat vasek pospisil in straight sets. it was djokovic's first game on grass this season, and he was in a good mood as he looks to get his game in top form for wimbledon, which starts on monday. it's the first time djokovic has played at eastbourne and the first time in seven years he's appeared at a pre—wimbledon grass—court tournament.

in the last few minutes the world number one, angelique kerber, has beat kristina discover. she is into the third round. she will face lara aruberina. john mcenroe meanwhile has proposed a contest between men and women, to prove his claim that the serena williams would be ranked at around "700 in the world" on the men's circuit. williams won the last of her 23 grand slam titles in australia injanuary, before announcing she was pregnant. she asked mcenroe to leave her out of his comments but mcenroe stuck to his guns, saying, "i've got a solution. men and women play together, then we don't have to guess, mcenroe says, "i'm sure the men would be all for it". williams expects to return to the circuit as early

as january next year. dani alves has confirmed he's leaving juventus as his proposed move to manchester city edges closer. city manager pep guardiola is keen to link up with the 34—year—old following their prolific spell together at barcelona. alves still had a year left on hisjuventus contract but the italian champions have released him from that deal. australian jockey michelle payne, the only woman to win the melbourne cup, has been stood down from riding after failing a drugs test. she tested positive for an appetite suppressant, after a meeting in australia two—and—a—half weeks ago. stewards will hold an inquiry tomorrow. there's been british taekwondo history this afternoon. bianca walkden has become britain's first ever double world champion. walkden beat american jackie galloway 14—1; in the +73kg weight class. look at her, absolutely ecstatic. men's heavyweight mahama cho has guaranteed the british team a second medal — he's into the semi—finals after beating iran's sajad mardani. like walkden, cho won bronze in rio last year.

but not such good news for this man. the rio silver medallist lutalo muhammad has gone out in the second round. it was his first event after his defeat at the olympics. that's all the sport for now. and you can watch the action from the world taekwondo championships live on the red button and the bbc sport website now, where there's also more on all today's stories — and i'll have more in the next hour. well, thank you. let's get more now on the grenfell fire aftermath, and two weeks on, the housing minister has been publicly challenged by survivors over what they see as a failure to provide adequate accommodation. 0n the victoria derbyshire programme this morning, alok sharma was confronted by residents. they have offered us high—rise towers and i've expressed to them

that we're petrified, traumatised and so the kids because my oldest boy is aware of the situation, whenever he sees the building his work of what's happened and they haven't offered us any suitable accommodation, considering the situation we have been in. can't really think or feel anything at the moment. people who work can't work because you don't know if you will because you don't know if you will be in the same room that night. you get a call from the council saying your hotel has been booked, you ring them up and they say when you checking out? you have to go here, q there, do that, they cannot get a single thing right. the only activity i saw this morning was

gardeners and painters, working on the cosmetics. it was cosmetics that got us into this. this so-called government agencies are coming in at 9am and clocking out at 5pm, the only people working through the night are asked, working in the night. you have not been under field speaking to the survivors i have been speaking to. you were when one person who coincidentally is in this room was shipped off to a local hotel which was 15 stories tall after being pulled out of a burning tower. how pathetic was that response? i have been blessed by two psychologists but that is because of my label as a nurse. there are people out there who have not had anyone approached them and say, how are you doing? not, what is the

basic, you know the basic. you know the basics so i'm asking you respectfully, check your moral compass. and forget your label of mp, human. what does a human basically need? then you will go forward and gained the respect and understanding of these people.|j we nt understanding of these people.|j went to the harrow club last week andl went to the harrow club last week and i met people who have been affected by this and the brewery people are showing in coming forward and the dignity is something... they are stopping you —— they are asked to stop with the platitudes. i'm not moving my child from here to here to here. i want permanent accommodation. i'm not moving my child from here to here. if you don't give me permanent accommodation i'm not going to accept it.

i'm notjust going to take any house you give me, it has to be suitable. don't give me no temporary accommodation. i was happy in my house. i work hard, i had a good house. don't give me any rubbish, i'm not going to accept it. i'm not going to accept that. can i say something? no. please, right. we will come to you, sid, i promise. just a minute. he does not want temporary accommodation, he wants good permanent accommodation. that is not too much to ask. can you promise him that? what we have said... just say yes or no. if i may answer, i will explain what is going on. we have a lot of people who were in hotels. you're doing these housing needs

assessments and anyone who has not had that done, i will sit down and anyone who was not getting help they need, i will not leave here until i have spoken to every person who needs support now. and you can see that film — and many more — on the victoria derbyshire programme page. visit bbc.co.uk/victoria. the victoria derbyshire programme is on each weekday morning at 9am on the bbc news channel and bbc 2. we're going back to ben brown in warrington now, on the crown prosecution service decision to charge former police officers in connection with the hillsborough disaster of 1989. ben. thank you. relatives of some of those who died in the disaster had been briefed in this building behind me by the crown prosecution service on the six individuals who are facing criminal charges. the cps

duckenfield, who was match commander on the day of the disaster. in order to prosecute this matter, the cps will need to apply to the high court judge to remove the state imposed at the end of his 1999 private prosecution. this process will commence shortly. we are unable to charge the manslaughter of anthony bland, the 96th casualty, who died almost five years later. this is due to time limitations imposed by the law at the time. former chief co nsta ble law at the time. former chief constable norman bettison is charged with four offences of misconduct in public office, relating to alleged lies he told about his involvement in the aftermath of hillsborough and the culpability of fans. graham mackrell is charged with two offences of contravening a term of a safety certificate contrary to the sports ground act of 1975. he is

commenced and the defendants have the right to a fair trial. it is important there should be no reporting, commentary, or sharing important there should be no reporting, commentary, orsharing of information online which could prejudice these proceedings. i have not authorise charges in relation to any other individuals or organisations. the reason for this is set out in a written summary published today. that was sue hamming earlier on. we know the cps had been considering possible criminal charges against more than 20 attentional suspects into separate criminal enquiries. the investigation into the events on the day of the disaster and the causes building up to wit and then the independent police complaints commission inquiry which are looking into the alleged cover—up after the disaster, so of the more than 20 attentional suspects, six are being

charged. this afternoon we have had reaction from some of the relatives of those who died in 1989. trevor hicks says there are no winners in this and margaret aspinall, who lost her son, said we all need peace, it has been 26 years of torture and this decision to bring charges is the beginning of the end. services which provide support for older people with complex needs face more cuts, even though extra money is being put into the system, according to a survey of more than 150 adult social services directors in england. the report found that three quarters of council directors are worried about the quality of care available. here's our social affairs correspondent alison holt. they are packing the room at the university of the third age at minehead in west somerset.

a third of the population here is aged 65 or over, the highest proportion in the country. today's report warns despite the growing demand for support as people get older, councils are still having to cut services. i don't think it's a matter of what side of the political divide you are on. but to me the main question is, what's going to happen to me when i'm a lot older? essentially people have got to pay more taxes. you can't carry on relying on ad hoc sticking plaster solutions. i think it's terribly important that this age group is remembered, i'm not going to say looked after is difficult, because i don't know where the money is coming from. nearly all of the directors who run council care services in england responded to the survey. they expect to make more than £820 million in savings this year. most councils had to use their reserves to pay for last

year's care overspend. companies providing care are still handing back local authority contracts. and three quarters of council directors worry about the quality of care available. cliff edge, tipping point, i think nearly every organisation that has an interest in social care in the last year has used those sorts of phrases. and certainly in my number of years of working in this industry, i have not seen a situation like this before. we have received nothing from the hospital. this care company provides support for people across the south. much of it funded by local authorities. the government has put extra money in to ease the pressures, but here they say it is not reaching the front line. we certainly have not seen any material increase in fee rates, virtually nothing in care homes. in—home care actually in some cases the fee rates have gone down. we have had to hand back further local authority contracts, we are just in the process

of handing two more back right now. and we have closed another care home unfortunately. how we pay for support as we get older became a particularly toxic issue for the conservatives during the election. but in places like this there is an increasing demand for some sort of plan. which underlines why this is an issue that is not going to go away. the government says as well as additional money in the short term, it will be consulting on how to improve care and put it on a firm financial footing. a bit of breaking news coming in from scotland yard hollowing the g re nfell tower from scotland yard hollowing the grenfell tower fire, there are from scotland yard hollowing the grenfell towerfire, there are now saying around 80 people are dead or missing or presumed dead after the fire, the latest official figure was

79. police say they have made contact with at least one person from 106 of the 129 flats in the block, so by a process of elimination police are trying to work out who was inside the tower block and two was not, so they are working through that list and now saying around 80 people are believed to be dead or missing, presumed dead following the tragic events at g re nfell tower. following the tragic events at grenfell tower. they also say 60 companies are helping with the investigation into the blaze and those companies are not currently under investigation. in a moment a summary of the business news this hour but first, the headlines on bbc news: six people, including forformer yorkshire police officers, are charged in relation to the hillsborough disaster, including

it's where a company sends you a box containing ingredients for a meal — you follow the recipe and voila, you've got yourself a fresh dinner. one of the pioneers of this trend is blue apron in america. it's about to launch on the stock market over there. but it's just cut the price it thinks its shares will sell for. michelle fleury is at the new york stock exchange. why the cut in price? it's a question of how well investors think it will do, how much they are willing to put their money where their mouth is and i think there is a question about demand. it goes to the business model and that is that the market for these meal kits is growing. there is a lot of competition. this company has seen its revenue doubled in the last year but it has to spend a lot of money

to persuade each customer to sign up for a subscription, and that is where investors are nervous, they fear because of the fact that customers typically fall off after a certain time, maybe this business can only be profitable if it continues to see very fast customer growth. my sense is that it is a trend that is catching on in america and we are maybe a bit slower to catch up. is it super popular there? in the uk you have services like just oh, here it isjust in the uk you have services like just oh, here it is just going at growing sector, you have these changes in the retail landscape, we we re changes in the retail landscape, we were talking last week about amazon buying up whole foods in america, there are questions about some of what that spells for that sector,

what that spells for that sector, what are amazon's ambitions? we have seen what are amazon's ambitions? we have seen amazon to write these meal kits which were offered to amazon prime users. whether that is a shift in the way we will go out and buy food and eat in restaurants, it is still too early to tell but that is partly why people are looking at the sector with interest. i'm too lazy, i'm kind of a takeaway guide. michelle at the new york stock exchange, goodbye. it's been a record year for dixons carphone. its profits have passed half a billion pounds for the first time ever. that's been boosted by solid demand for computers and phones. the company says it's been a good year. toshiba shares have fallen today after the firm said it had failed to complete the sale of its lucrative memory chip business. it had hoped to seal a deal with a consortium reportedly worth about £14.1 billion. toshiba desperately needs the cash as it tries to plug the hole in its finances after massive losses at its us nuclear operations. how

h ow ofte n how often do you visit a bank? according to industry analysts caci — people visit seven times a year on average at the moment. but that could go down to four times a year by 2020 as we do more work on our phones. here in london — asset managers have seen their share price fall after that news of a big shake up being imposed on the industry. energy companies are also under pressure as more evidence emerges of a glut of oil on the market. sterling has hit a seven —onth low against the euro. that's all the business news. let's hear more now on the news of that co—op bank rescue package agreed with shareholders. a short time ago our business editor simonjack explained how the co—0p has been managing since it's fall in 2013. a bunch of american investors came in to save it and ever since then

it has been limping along, unable to earn its way out of trouble. they couldn't find a buyer for the bank when they wanted to so the investors have doubled down, written off some of the money they were owed and put some new money in, which will mean their shareholding is almost entirely now owned by us investors. the co—op group, which used to wholly own it, will now own just 1%, so it will be very different now. the co—op brand and will stay, the ethical values will also stay but the agreement between the co—op group, which does the grocery stalls and a funeral services and the co—op bank will terminate in 2020, so it is a big change from 1872 when it was founded to being almost a majority owned by hedge funds. it will be interesting to see how co—op customers, 4 million of them who have been pretty loyal through some difficulties including some scandals, will be when they are no longer part of the co—op group, but a good day for the co—op bank. a painless sticking plaster flu

barrier will affect wales and the south west, so to areas of rain spiralling into that area of low pressure but there is a window of drier weather across parts of the midlands, east anglia and the south—east, maybe even a little brightness here but are better afternoon in london, northampton, but the southwest, wales and yorkshire have rain, just about getting away with the rain in northern ireland but in scotland, a different story, even some sunshine but mostly cloudy. this evening that band of work weather across northern england will drift toward scotland so by the early hours of thursday it will start ringing again in scotland, especially the borders and lowlands, also western wales and the south, that rain is trying to crawl back into that area of low pressure so the rain is moving north here, south here, then moving back into

parts of central and southern england. thursday will be a cool day for most of us, 13, 1a, 15 degrees that here where we have that window of dry weather, temperatures may respond to 20 degrees or so. thursday night into friday, the low pressure is still with us but most of the weather action is happening across northern and western areas, also a strong wind out of the north and west but central areas not com pletely and west but central areas not completely dry but with a bit of brightness those temperatures could get up to 23 degrees and we still think the weekend looks better, especially sunday, at least some sunshine on the way. this is bbc news. i'm simon mccoy. this is bbc news. the headlines at 3pm: six people are to be charged in connection with the hillsborough football stadium disaster, 28 years ago. following these thorough
