she is "minded to" refer rupert murdoch's 21st century fox takeover of sky to the competition watchdog. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. sir martin moore—bick — the retired judge chosen to lead the public inquiry into the grenfell tower fire — says it's unlikely its remit would be wide enough to satisfy all survivors. sir martin promised a "vigorous inquiry‘ that would look at the problems surrounding the start of the fire and its rapid development in order to prevent this ever happening again. after meeting with residents this morning — he said he understood their desire forjustice and that he would produce an interim report "as early as possible". critics say residents should have been consulted. 80 people are now presumed by police to have died. here's our correspondent

richard lister. the family and friends of tony disson gathered for his funeral today, a short distance from grenfell tower where he died. with an estimated 80 dead, there will be many more such funerals. looming over them, questions about why they died, who was to blame, how can others be protected. and this is the man now appointed to find the answers, sir martin moore—bick. ajudge for 20 years before he died from the court of appeals, he focused on complex technical cases in the commercial courts. he's promised to consult grenfell survives about how to proceed. they have my greatest sympathy. having said that, i'm absolutely determined that this enquiry will be open and full and will cover all the ground so we reach inclusions that a

reliable and can prevent anything happening like this again. we need to be part of every single decision made. but those who escaped grenfell tower that night have demanded more input into shaping this process. they appear not to have been consulted about this appointment. i understand this has to be fair and impartial but i believe the victims of this, you know the tower victims first, evacuees second and local residents thirdly should be the ones leading this and deciding what direction this inquiry takes and what remit it has. and a decision by sir martin moore—bick involving westminster city council is also causing grenfell survivors concern. he backed the decision to move a single mother of five to social housing 50 miles away. if i was speaking to families, i would be saying that on its own tells you nothing. the problem is we don't know what the broader record is. setting up the public inquiry was always going to be a delicate process.

grenfell survivors are being asked to work with the establishment they feel let them down for decades. the aim is for an interim report this summer. let's speak to sue caro from the action group, justice for grenfell. she's in our central london studio. cani can ijust can i just say that my can ijust say that my name is actually pronounced karl rove. excuse me for wishing to correct it. i'm a representative of the campaign justice for grenfell, we were set up to create a secretary at all survivors when they have recovered

from that terrible traumatic experience that they can step in and ta ke experience that they can step in and take over leading this organisation. having said that, we are constantly in contact with all the different groups working on the ground, we we re groups working on the ground, we were at a meeting last night with representatives from the community of survivors. we are hearing the assurances from the prime minister may directly in person to the residents and the survivor she has met, one that they would be consulted about who would lead the enquiry and two, that they would have input into the terms and reference and scope of the enquiry, these are on top of all the other failures of the local authority and the national authority around this

all for disaster and the way that the local community are being treated. they are distressed and alienate it in the fact that they are not considered worthy, it is very upsetting. two things, one about the appointment of the church and the second one about the remit. do you have questions about this judge? yes. i know in the first meeting he had with residents this morning he was quite clearly told that they thought he was the wrong man for thejob. that they thought he was the wrong man for the job. why is that? because of his background, we believe his expertise is in corporate law, and also of course i

westminster council president, he allowed westminster to re—home a lady 50 miles away from her locality. that ruling was eventually overturned but it was his. one we all feel he is the wrong person for all feel he is the wrong person for a number of reasons. people who defend him say he made that ruling in accordance to the law, he followed the law and that's when he made a decision? that is interesting, why was it overturned by the higher court them. i think the fact he made that ruling, when housing which is one of the absolute top issues that the survivors want included in the terms of reference, if that is in the enquiry burns they

have no confidence in the ability to be fair. do you think he himself expression caution, he is in a sense trying to manage the expectations of people in what he can produce? as i said in the opening comments, the remit of the enquiry is against what's what to reason make sure the residents and survivors, they said they would be consulted over the terms of reference, today he was told quite clearly that it is not a cce pta ble told quite clearly that it is not acceptable the terms of reference. and he appears to have understood that sense of anger and upset in the

residents over the very restricted enquiry. we have to leave it there thank you. the concession came ahead of a vote after the amendment was selected for debate. here at westminster — the tories will seek parliamentary approval for their overall legislative programme after a week of debate. labour has tabled an amendment to the queen's speech to introduce elements of its own general election manifesto. the party said it was because the conservative programme "was in tatters." a previous labour amendment, on lifting the public sector pay cap, was defeated in the commons last night, after the democratic unionists voted with the conservatives. here's our political correspondent alex forsyth. a piece of parchment setting out the government's policy plans. written by ministers,

read by the queen at the formal opening of parliament last week. my ministers are committed to working with parliament, the devolved administrations, business and others, to build the widest possible consensus on the country's future outside the european union. but now there's a hung parliament that consensus will be hard to achieve, notjust on brexit, but other measures, too. the one vote the government is confident of winning, today's, when mps will be asked to approve the queen's speech. i'm confident it will go through. we set out a programme in the national interest, delivering on brexit and other important domestic matters and i think that is important to deliver that said the government can get on governing as the people of britain would expect us to do. the ayes to the right 309. the noes to the left 323. yesterday the government saw off the challenge by labour.

they tried to amend the queen's speech, to get more investment in public services and the scrapping of the cap on public sector pay. but whilst some tories hinted at their concerns over austerity... it's time for us to think again about the impact of the public sector pay cap. none were willing to undermine the prime minister on such a key vote. today, labour will try again with another amendment. we are putting forward fundamentally what was in our manifesto in the election. a brexit that guarantees trade relations with europe. a government that ends the public sector pay cap. and a government that invests in the education future of all of our children from nursery through to university. despite labour's efforts to tease open any divisions within the conservative party over austerity, it's highly likely that theresa may's queen's speech will get through the commons today. tory mps won't risk challenging her authority on this. and she has the support of ten democratic unionist mps with whom she did a deal to get their backing on key votes. but even with that, the prime minister's majority is slim and labour will seek to exploit that

at every opportunity. parliament's likely to see some brutal battles over the next two years. backbenchers will be emboldened, every vote will count in getting anything through, and it won't be plain sailing. the our chief political correspondent vicki young is inside parliament. vicki young the is inside parliament. theresa may sees the threat so she gives in assists sister we're seeing? yes alex talking about backbenchers being emboldened and you can see why. stella creasy tailored an amendment and a change, being allowed to come to england or wales and have abortions and have them paid for and

wales and have abortions and have them paid forand in wales and have abortions and have them paid for and in the last hour them paid for and in the last hour the government has accepted that. i think we are in a very different political climate than the one before the general election and this is what happens. if you don't have a majority, she may well have the deal but it still means that if she has a certain number of mps on heroin side, she will have to make compromises which is what we saw. this is what philip hammond has said. the figure of £1400 is what northern irish women have too spent to get an abortion here in england and therefore it is welcome that the government now say they will correct this injustice wherever he will know as everybody does the devil will be in the details they can i ask them if he'll make a commitment by half of the government to meet with myself and representatives to look

to see how we can turn this into a reality so those women in northern ireland today who finally have their voices heard can use the services as soon as possible? i say to the honourable lady, please read the letter that my honourable friend has sent out. we will be finding her department with additional funding so department with additional funding so that she can make a grant to the external organisations that will provide these services. i think she will be satisfied once she has read the letter and seen the details, if she's not then i'm happy to meet with her. other amendments today, the one from labour about austerity and public sector pay and about brexit as well. also another backbencher amendment. this one specifically was about leaving the option open of the uk remaining in the market and the customs union.

it'd be interesting to see how many labour mps back that's because the official position from labour is to abstain so we will see actually what trouble there is for labour on a bold policy brexit. on the approach on the single market, it could be that a number of labour mps decide to defy that a number of labour mps decide to denyeremy corbyn on that issue. thank you. i'm joined now by the plaid cymru mp liz saville—roberts and snp mp stewart hosie. i'm just trying to pick up on what vicky was saying. are you feeling emboldened in that it does seem that every mp now has significance. we have seen the effect of stella creasy this afternoon and how the government has caved in and i welcome that. we're looking at the amendment ahead of us and in all honesty we have full membership of the single market and the customs

union and the maths on that is very interesting. that exact amendment is the best outcome wales could hope for in relation to our economy and jobs. if every member of parliament of wales voted for that and the entire labour party that in itself could bring down the government. would that be your hope given that the country is in this state of flux, perhaps your constituents have a slightly different view about what they want to happen or is the plan that we must bring the government down? in terms of brexit and specifics, if we could change the position of the government to guarantee we stay in the single market and keep the free movement of people with a soft brexit then that would be fantastic. the pointless makes is absolutely right. if every scottish tory mp, the government

would be defeated, that is how narrow the margin is. emboldened perhaps not but there is a potential to make things happen. perhaps not but there is a potential to make things happenlj perhaps not but there is a potential to make things happen. i don't know if you have had a chance to gauge reaction back in wales but countries outside england, perhaps including england are feeling pretty hard done by, is it real anger, what are you going to do that so much money seems to be available to i—party? going to do that so much money seems to be available to 1-party? of course we or the barnett formula by which the other nations funded is sufficient for our needs. now if what has been given to the dup and northern ireland was given to wales that would be £1.7 million, we are the poorest of the four nations, we have heard a lot in the election and since the election effectively praising the union to the heavens. if this is how they operate, to

reward one area then heaven help us. what would you do, how would you protest in this place? in all honesty what we're seeing is the inequality, what is described as pork barrel politics at play. if we are leaving the european union to this sort of politics then we need to revise how we actually deal with that. it's fine to be any surprise that. it's fine to be any surprise that the deal was done with the dup, along before the anger that liz has expressed as expressed in a wider way? i think it has a ready been expressed outside of parliament. i think the anger by loyalty from ten mps at £100 million a pop is palpable but there are other potential political fallout from this. the scottish secretary said he wouldn't countenance a deal that was effectively a bum to northern

ireland, one that's ripped up the formula, that is exactly what has happened and he made no representations to the prime minister and the first casualty of this could be david mundell who scottish tory party have done nothing to stop this. it is over £2 billion for wales, it'll be £3 billion for wales, it'll be £3 billion for wales, it'll be £3 billion for scotland on the same terms and they can'tjust chuck money to buy loyalty for a couple of yea rs. money to buy loyalty for a couple of years. so the scottish secretary should go? yes, he has rolled over and had his tummy tickled as tories a lwa ys and had his tummy tickled as tories always do and i think he is on a very shaky peg indeed. in terms of the vote and nights lives, it is expected that the government will win, how much time has theresa may got you think before she has real problem said? i think that is the question everybody in the country is asking, that will last within her own party. we are certainly seeing a

situation where effectively she is a hollow prime minister and the vagaries of other voices coming very strongly. do you have any sympathy with her in that the country wants brexit to be sorted and done? none at all not least because scotland stadium but she called the election that lost her authority, mandate and she brought this upon herself, i have no sympathy at all. thank you both very much. that is the view here in westminster, the vote at 5pm and we expect a resultjust before six. plenty more to come. the headlines on bbc news: a retired appeal courtjudge will lead the public inquiry into the grenfell tower fire — he public inquiry into the grenfell towerfire — he says it public inquiry into the grenfell tower fire — he says it may not be as wide—ranging as some residents hope. the dup says there will not be a breakthrough to restore power—sharing in northern ireland by today's four o'clock deadline. mps

will vote on the queen's speech later —— labour is seeking amendments on public spending and brexit. and in sport andy murray's wimbledon preparations are hit by injury. he pulled out of this final warm up match due to a sore hip, the world number one is rested today and is unlikely to train tomorrow. the british and irish lions captain sam warburton says he is delighted to turn to the starting line—up for the second test against new zealand but admits he has never been as nervous ahead of selection. it's great to be back, jermaine defoe has rejoined bournemouth 17 years after a loan speu bournemouth 17 years after a loan spell at the club. the 34—year—old has signed a three—year deal after leaving sunderland. i will be back with more in ten minutes time. a jury in moscow has found five chechen men guilty of murdering the russian opposition's most prominent activist, boris nemtsov, near the kremlin two years ago.

the men were on trial for killing him as the politician walked across a bridge near red square with his girlfriend. the court heard that they were paid about a quarter of a million dollars. mr nemtsov‘s family is convinced he was killed to silence his criticism of president vladimir putin. oleg boldyrev is in moscow for us. these men had been found guilty but there are fears that those who ordered the killing may never be found? exactly. the lawyers for boris nemtsov said they broadly agreed with the conclusions put forward and now confirm whether gerry but they say the main question he paid the money of 50 million ru bles he paid the money of 50 million rubles which is roughly $250,000, he paid the money for the killing and why. this question is still not answered. all we now know from the verdict is that a soldier in the

chechen army shot him five times that for other men conspired to murder boris nemtsov and traced his movements for many months and communications and all of that and again the lawyers for the family say in no way can they said the money has been solved. during the court case, what emerged for the motives for this killing? very little. the base for the initial charge was the confession that he killed boris nemtsov after the massacre when boris nemtsov was very critical towards radical muslims and that was the reason. later the queues rejected the saying saying this was extracted under torture. even that shaky explanation why this might have happened could not stand. so

far there is no concrete answer to this question, all the lawyers representing the family can say is that they are convinced the leeds go into the chechen republic and into the very highest echelons of leadership. the court case and the verdicts, they seem very clear that it was because of flood it to the? that is the broad direction but everybody wants to know what was the trigger point. boris nemtsov had been a vocal critic of russian politics for many years so what tipped that nobody knows. thank you. one of the pope's closest advisors, cardinal george pell,

has been charged in his native australia with historical sexual offences against children. at a press conference this morning the cardinal insisted he was innocent of the charges — and said he looked forward to having his day in court. our correspondent james reynolds reports from rome. this morning in st peter's square, the cardinals of the catholic church turned out for a celebration led by the pope, but one of their number was missing. cardinal george pell appeared instead in a vatican press room to respond to the charges made the australian police. i'm innocent of these charges. they are false. the whole idea of sexual abuse is abhorrent to me. so i'm very grateful to the holy father for giving me this leave to return to australia. today victoria police have charged cardinal george... earlier in australia, the police outlined the charges against the 76—year—old cleric.

cardinal pell is facing multiple charges in respect of historic sexual offences, and there are multiple complainants relating to those charges. for more than 40 years, george pell worked as a priest, then an archbishop in his own country. in 2014, pope francis called him to work in rome. in february last year the cardinal testified via video link to an australian commission investigating official responses to child abuse. victims flew in to watch his testimony. now the cardinal will have to defend himself in court. the charges leave the church and the pope in an uncomfortable position. after his election, francis created a commission to deal with allegations of sexual abuse by clerics. now he finds that one of his closest advisers faces charges of his own. the pope will now face questions about his ally. cardinal george pell will appear in court in australia next month. james reynolds, bbc news. coming up in the next few minutes.

we will discuss the votes later in the commons including scrapping the public sector pay cap, we will speak to representatives of the metropolitan police and the nursing federation. let's get an update on the weather now. here is the rate at which shows an awful lot of rain across scotland, some of that creeps westwards and there are dribs and drabs of rain and the south west. notjust words but also windy which brings a chilly field to things across the north and north—east, overnight tonight a lot

of cloud out there and some is really low. in mild night, 10 degrees in stornoway, 14 in cardiff and london. starting pretty grey on friday, rain to be had, gradually moving back southwards and eastwards, something brightly developing. states grey with outbreaks of rain, top temperature around 22. on into the weekend and prospects are much better, not a dry we can do much drier than it is now and it should be brighter and for some little bit warmer. hello. this is bbc news. the headlines: a retired judge, sir martin moore—bick, will lead the inquiry into the grenfell tower fire. he has expressed doubt that it will be broad enough to satisfy the concerns of the survivors. the residents and the local people want a much broader investigation and i can fully understand why

they should want that. whether my inquiry is the right way in which to achieve that, i am more doubtful. the dup says there will not be a breakthrough to restore power sharing in northern ireland by today's deadline at 4pm this afternoon. one of the most senior figures in the catholic church who is accused of multiple counts of sexual abuse, the vatican treasurer cardinal george pell, says he'll take a leave of absence to fight the charges in australia. and a test of authority for theresa may's minority government as mps are set to vote on the queen's speech later, with three amendments to be voted on, including proposals calling for an ‘end to austerity‘. time for a look at the sport news, now. good afternoon. world number one andy murray has withdrawn from an exhibition event at hurlingham tomorrow, as his preparation for next week's

wimbledon takes a blow. murray is the reigning wimbledon champion and top seed for next week's tournament, but is suffering from a sore hip. murray had already pulled out of facing frenchman lucas pouille on tuesday, he hasn't been able to train today and says he is also unlikely to be able to practice tomorrow. johanna konta... she is level at eastbourne. she won the first set of her third round match against the french open champion jelena ostapenko. the british number one fought back from a break down to take it 7—5. 3—2 in the deciding set. there's live coverage from eastbourne on bbc two this afternoon and on the bbc sport website. novak djokovic is through to the semi finals in eastbourne after a straight sets win over the american donald young. the world number four breezed through the first set 6—2 but young was far tougher in the second set, taking it to a tiebreak and pushing

djokovic all the way. the serbian taking it 11—9 in the end to reach the last four. england strikerjermain defoe has rejoined bournemouth on a three year deal, after leaving sunderland. a release clause in his contract meant the 34—year—old was available as a free transfer, following sunderland's relegation from the premier league. he was on loan with bournemouth in the 2000—2001 season, scoring in ten consecutive games for them. defoe scored 15 league goals last season, earning him a recall to the england squad in march after a four year absence from the national side. and the sale of defoe's former club sunderland is off. chairman ellis short says it "would not be in the best interests" but he will continue his financial commitment to the club. meanwhile, preston north end have granted their manager simon grayson permission to speak to sunderland about the vacant manager's job. grayson has been at deepdale for four years and is the tenth longest serving manager in england. warren gatland, the british and irish lions head coach says he's

had to make some tough calls for the ‘must win' second test in wellington on saturday. jonny sexton will start in the pivotal fly half role with owen farrell moved to inside centre, ben te'o drops to the bench. maro itoje will start in the second row with last weekend's captain peter o'mahony is replaced as skipper and in the flank by sam warburton. i am delighted with the selection for this week. it has probably been the most nervous i have been, going into this week. i was not sure what was going to happen. some of the guys were brilliant on tuesday. they could have come straight into the team. i was very nervous about the selection. i am absolutely delighted i am going to be starting the test series. holders england have named their squad for the women's rugby world cup in ireland later this summer. bristol's sarah hunter, who led the team to the six nations grand slam earlier this year, will again skipper the side with emily scarratt as vice captain.

28 players have been called up in total. england will begin their pool b campaign against spain on the 9th of august. great britain's mahama cho matched the best ever result for a british man at the world taekwondo championships with silver in the heavyweight division. cho had looked in great form reaching the final but was was unable to contain olympic silver medallist abdoul issoufou of niger who claimed his maiden world title with a 9—4 win. olympic champion jade jones is on course to win an impressive career grand slam of major titles. she's now into the semi finals of the 57 kilogram category which guarantees her at least a bronze. we'll have more in the next hour. lets get more now on today's commons vote by mps on the queen's speech, which will see an attempt by labour to introduce elements

of their general election manifesto. simon mccoy is in westminster ahead of the vote. thank you. last night a separate labour attempt to scrap the 1% public sector pay cap was defeated in parliament. but what is the current mood within the public sector after seven years of austerity and pay freezes. to discuss this i'm joined by paul nowak, deputy general secretary of the tuc, janet davies, general secretary of the royal college of nursing and ken marsh — chair of the metropolitan police federation. watching that debate last night, do you sense that even in government ra nks you sense that even in government ranks someone has got to move? absolutely. the government may have scrapped the parliamentary argument, but have lost the public argument. 60% of conservative voters, it is clear talking to conservative mps, lots of disquiet. people realising

it is not fair to ask teachers, classroom assistants, to have cuts in living standards. you were in that badge, —— are wearing that badge. do you since you have got public support? we're getting a lot of support, as are nurses with mps. talking to us, and constituencies, telling us what it is like for them to make ends meet. we have now reached the point when something has got to be done to retain the nurses we have got, as well as recruiting. we are getting all these kind words, we want kind action. you were surprised by the reaction from your members, as you walking along the streets of westminster? absolutely. i was speaking to my colleagues,

standing diligently outside westminster. disgusted with what happened yesterday from the houses of parliament. so vitriolic, that they managed to scrape this through. it is not correct. my colleagues have seen cuts of 15%, in real terms over five years. that is not sustainable. at the met, we have had 640 police officers resigning. we cannot maintain that and didn't protect the streets. the british transport police officer, reacting at london bridge, the bbc put that out on the news and twitter was alive, people seeing and yet he is not going to get a pay rise? absolutely. i visited a colleague at hospital. what a hero. my colleagues are from the forces, representing and serving the public, morning noon

and serving the public, morning noon and night, being treated this way. something has to give. what do you say to those who say you have spotted a week government, playing politics? absolutely not. we have been saying for years that britain needs a pay rise. the reality is that millions of public sector workers have seen living standards falling, there are political choices to be made. the government is going to be made. the government is going to spend 9.6 billion on free school programmes, the dup, a lot of public sector workers are looking at this and think when does austerity into? when does money go into the pockets of working people? when do we reward those who provide services daily in, day out? you talk about nurses, what

sort of level of increase would stop that number of nurses leaving? sort of level of increase would stop that number of nurses leaving ?m sort of level of increase would stop that number of nurses leaving? it is about value. it is about how the nurses feel. we have got all these kind words, but nothing. 14% in real terms worse off than ten years ago. we have not asked for 14%. it is not sustainable, particularly at health care. it is about safety of the population and patients. if we have not got enough staff, what is going to happen is that we do not have good quality of care. we do not want to lose even more nurses, because they cannot afford to do the job that they love. that point about morale, compare and contrast to the private sector. no private sector

employer would say for the next five, six, seven years, we're going to hold down your pay regardless. the government is not listening to the workforce, the public, and we have seen the impact on services. it is the time to act. the prime minister is well known to police officers. as home secretary, she almost took you on. payback? not whatsoever. all that we said, was the truth. if you look at some of the truth. if you look at some of the rhetoric, it is coming back to haunt her. she called us scaremongerers. if you look at all the things that we have said, we have been telling the truth. people have been telling the truth. people have said, this is what you said previously. we do not want to bash anyone, give us a living wage, the

correct conditions to stand on the street and protect the public. that is the answer. if you have police office rs is the answer. if you have police officers feeling comfortable, they are going to be feeling better, putting their life on the line. they are not content with this contempt, so they could not respond in the same way. what about the goodwill, anybody who has been in hospital nor that nurses go the extra mile. would that nurses go the extra mile. would that run out? they lawyers have been saying that. eventually, that is going to run out. and the nhs is run on goodwill. they work 12 hour shifts. they can stay later... to finish paperwork, sitting with relatives who are stressed. that is beginning to wear them. it is not an argument with any political party. this is not seeing it as the

government's fault, but maybe it is a cross—party solution that we need to have, about public services. or what? what is the threat? members are getting annoyed. we are the royal college of nursing singh, we have never had a stroke. no industrial action. but 50% said that they would be willing to take action. we were surprised. over the summer, what we are going to try to do, is get the government to try to listen to us, valued the nurses, and if we do not get anywhere we are going to be talking to members about what they want to do next. at the same team, we know that nurses do not want to go on strike. but we have been talking to politicians over the years, negotiating, without making any progress. now public

sector worker wants to take industrial action. that is just a fa ct of industrial action. that is just a fact of life. it is time for the government to stop playing politics. number ten yesterday was signalling it could review the p. slapped down by number11. it it could review the p. slapped down by number 11. it is too important an issue to be subject to party wrangling. it is time for them to deliver that fair deal. wrangling. it is time for them to deliver that fair deallj wrangling. it is time for them to deliver that fair deal. i am just wondering, given the events of the last few months, these terrorist attacks, grenfell, your members also involved with that. how much has that changed public perception of the work that goes on in the public sector? i think the public have been overwhelming towards us. it has been warming to see how they have responded. we have got the goodwill of the public. the public want to see us step forward as we have done.

but it only goes so far, to such a level, because you cannot continue on those levels we have been performing. you have got to stand back, look at this and as i have said to my colleagues, i am not having a go at any particular party. it is about all of them understanding, you need the responsive, well paid police service to protect the public. if you do not have that you are going to be facing problems. you do not know that these things are not going to happen tonight, tomorrow, next week. we need to be able to respond. tonight, tomorrow, next week. we need to be able to respondlj need to be able to respond.” suspect i would know when he was angry! are you? we are incredibly angry. we are trying to be professional but we are angry. you talk to nurses, off a 12 hour shift. lam here talk to nurses, off a 12 hour shift. i am here to represent the members,

trying to put that position four. 95% of those people, said they would be willing to take industrial action. these are nurses. very, very angry. thank you forjoining us. that is the opinion from westminster. do not forget, that vote at 5pm, the queen's speech but it could be later, because of the amendments. back to you. thank you. the dup has said no deal with sinn fein, to restore devolved power sharing at stormont, will be reached by today's four o'clock government deadline. but the dup did say it believed a deal was possible within days. without agreement, northern ireland faces the prospect of a return to direct rule from london. our correspondent said a last—minute deal was unlikely. the question is what happens now. the parties you

have said they are going to continue to work over the weekend, to try to come to some sort of an agreement, some sort of deal on these issues. but really, the mood and political atmosphere, it is as dreary as the weather. nobody thinks this is close. still plenty of gaps. for the dup and sinn fein, it is particularly cultural and identity, recognition of the irish language. but what happens after the deadline passes? does this mean power sharing is suspended? we're not quite sure what the government is going to take after the deadline passes. whatever they have said to reporters at lunchtime, they did say that the prius was still achievable and that

progress was being made this, the parties were engaging intensively doesn't sound like they are willing to admit defeat just yet. i imagine there will be some kind of measure to allow the parties to continue negotiating, the deadline is set in legislation now so in order for this to be extended, i would think they are still committed to getting the situation up and running but northern ireland has been without a government for six months and civil servants have been administering with no big policy decisions have been made and so the government in westminster will have to take a call sooner rather than later to keep the general business of government going and how to keep cash flowing so you can see some kind of step, whether or not it is fully direct, that remains to be seen. in a moment a summary

of the business news this hour but first the headlines on bbc news: the retired judge who will lead the public inquiry into the grenfell tower fire says he's ‘doubtful‘ that it will be as wide—ranging as some residents hope. as you heard, the dup says there will not be a breakthrough to restore power—sharing in northern ireland by today's four o'clock deadline. and mps will vote on the queen's speech later. labour is seeking amendments on public spending and brexit. in the business news... the culture secretary said she is "minded to" refer rupert murdoch's 21st century fox takeover of sky to the competition watchdog. karen bradley's decision is a blow to the media mogul‘s hopes of having the £11.7 billion deal waved through without further scrutiny.

he joins us. what does a policy that does not threaten the market look like? it is based on evidence, the contribution that european union workers meet is huge. you mentioned those in london, one in three in london from the eu. at northern ireland, 20% in manufacturing. we need an evidence —based approach to immigration policy so that we avoid the big concern, that businesses in this country cannot grow, compete because they cannot get the staff that they need. when you talk about evidence —based, open—door policy? we think it is a huge role for the advisory committee going forward to look at the data, what is happening, and we know from members, that employers are looking at doing

things differently. apprenticeships, reaching out to underrepresented groups. in the short—term, going to be that need for workers. we need to look at thejobs be that need for workers. we need to look at the jobs market and make decisions based on that evidence rather than on perhaps some of the politics we have seen over recent months. presumably, you have looked at the evidence. the european union workers in this country add significant value to the economy. but that is not in terms of what the referendum result was lastjune? again, different interpretations. even before the referendum, one of the biggest challenges that members we re the biggest challenges that members were flagging, getting enough candidates to fill jobs. were flagging, getting enough candidates to filljobs. no doubt since the referendum, that challenge has intensified. we need to attract the best but it is notjust high skill areas. we know that retail,

construction, hospitality, we need to continue accessing workers from other countries. that is not to say we cannot encourage more british nationals to take those jobs, but we have nearly full employment in this country. we do not have thousands of people banging on the door. if you wa nt people banging on the door. if you want the united kingdom to succeed, we need the balance of immigration, and the balanced strategy. the prime minister has announced proposals for current european union citizens in britain. what do you think?m current european union citizens in britain. what do you think? it is a step in the right direction. still some questions. but people seem to be realising the urgency. apple are starting to make decisions. people have not been coming over in the same numbers. and the candidate shortage issue, it has predated the referendum. since then, it has got

more difficult. we need to recognise we have got an urgency around that. the more messages that we can give to reassure the workers, it is crucial. thank you. rolls royce say 7,000 jobs in the east midlands are secure, following their announcement on a £150 million investment in uk operations. its investing the majority of that cash into test bed in derby that will create 200 jobs. its also gone back on a decision to close a facility down in the area, which will save 150 jobs. unite, the union, are pleased with the decision. britain's second biggest airport, gatwick, has announced a record year of passengers. the 12 months to the end of january was the busiest in its history, with over 44 million passengers passing through its gates, a jump of 7.7% on the previous year. revenues and profits were also up strongly, and the airport is planning heavy investment. and a blast from the past...!

owned by the emir of dubai. people were so desperate forfunds for their local church that one contacted sheikh mohammed bin rashid al maktoum for help. here's lisa hampele. godolphin cross, a quiet village in cornwall where the pace of life is gentle and the methodist chapel looked set to stand empty forever. the villagers were giving up hope of finding enough funds to buy it, and convert it to a community centre. but a bright spark thought of the ruler of dubai. sheikh mohammed bin rashid al maktoum. and his link to godolphin cross. their village shares its name with the world —famous godolphin stables in newmarket which he founded. he's rubbed shoulders with the establishment and the powerful. residents sent him a letter, more in hope than expectation, and were amazed when he offered help. i think it's a wonderful gesture. it's not the only giving that they do. they give to other projects around the world and in the uk, but it was fantastic because as i say we were

staring down the barrel. we were in trouble, we were going to lose our last space and it was a wonderful gesture. so the sheik who has a passion for horses has become the village's unlikely knight in shining armour. no one will say how much he's given but it is thought to be around £60,000. and godolphin residents say any time he wants to take a break, from his champagne lifestyle, there's a warm welcome awaiting him. if ever he comes down this way, there's a pasty with his name on it, let's just say that! lisa hampele, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. good afternoon. it has been pretty miserable for most of the united kingdom today. this was a photograph from edinburgh, not so long ago. road, not a river! the rain has also gone to wales. but some sunshine at
