our main story — the long—awaited report into child abuse injersey‘s care system has been published this afternoon. the three—year public inquiry found there had been a tragic history of abuse on the island, and persistent failures at all levels in the management and operation of children's homes for decades. the inquiry, which heard from more than 600 witnesses, says children may still be at risk today. it recommended that the notorious haut de la garenne children's home be demolished. richard lister reports. kei used to be woken up some nights with screaming. they put their toll in my mouth. he hung himself. he was only 14. don't say anything to anybody. for decades, jersey's abuse victims were ignored. today, their

suffering was acknowledged. for many children who were removed from home situations deemed harmful or unsatisfactory, the states ofjersey proved to be an ineffectual and neglectful substitute parent. the consequences for children in ca re we re the consequences for children in care were often devastating, and in many instances, lifelong. how report describes historic failure is in the government's management and operation ofjerzy‘s government's management and operation of jerzy‘s child ren‘s homes. in adequately trained or pulley supervised staff lead to young people being abused, and the lessons of the past have not been learned. children may still be at risk in thejersey, and children in the care system are not always receiving the kind or quality of ca re receiving the kind or quality of care and support that they need. receiving the kind or quality of care and support that they needm 2007, a disturbing pattern of abuse claims led to a secret police

investigation, involving a number of ca re investigation, involving a number of care homes and youth organisations. within a few months, a series of victims had reported years of abuse at haut de la garenne, a former children's home. forensic teams took the home apart, the covering fragments of bone and doesn't of children's teeth. not know could be linked to a specific crime or time frame —— dozens of children's teeth. the jersey care frame —— dozens of children's teeth. thejersey care enquiry heard from 450 people connected to the care system, including many who were abused. the panel have identified systematic failings at management level and government level, which unfortunately still exist to this day. the enquiry is making a series of recommendations, and it recommends it should be implemented fast. this man runs a blog which ran

its own investigation and acts as a forum for caregivers. these are human beings, and every single one of these people is an individual. they have all been to hell and back, tortured, abused by people who are supposed to love and care for them. as for haut de la garenne, the report says the buildings are a reminder of an unhappy past and a shameful history. it recommends that they are demolished. a 16—year—old girl has pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of seven—year—old katie rough. katie was found with serious injuries on a playing field in york injanuary. she later died in hospital. the 16—year—old — who can't be named for legal reasons — pleaded guilty at leeds crown court to manslaughter with diminished responsibility. and we can now ci’oss to our correspondent, danny savage, at leeds crown court. i think many people will recall the killing of katie rough earlier this

year back injanuary. it was a horrific crime against a seven—year—old girl, which attracted national and international interest. because it was another child who killed her. now, today the 16—year—old girl, who was 15 at the time, had the charges put to her formally over a video link here at leeds crown court. she denied murder but she admitted manslaughter by diminished responsibility. katie rough, an innocent, sweet, much—loved schoolgirl, killed in an attack close to her home. her life was taken by another child. this older girl can not been identified for legal reasons, and she told a friend that she had drained of killing someone. —— she had dreams. it was a school day afternoon and just getting dark when katie rough was found fatally injured at the end of an alleyway on the edge of a playing field here in york.

the seven—year—old died a short time later in hospital. it then emerged that a 15—year—old girl had attacked her with a knife. katie's parents were quickly told what had happened and dashed to the scene. we found her at the same time as a police officer found her. i cradled her. i saw her injuries, i knew she was gone. and... i don't know, it's impossible to describe. we just held each other, didn't we? today, the teenage girl who killed katie admitted what she had done here. she denied murder but pleaded guilty to manslaughter by diminished responsibility. people were shocked. things like that don't happen in york. such a safe city, such a safe place, such a lovely, beautiful place.

people come from all round the world to see york. for this to happen here was just unbelievable. leeds crown court heard the teenager who killed this seven—year—old believed people were not human and where robots. the older girl did not speak at all today, leaving others to explain the consequences of her disturbed mind. today, we had that 16—year—old girl admitting manslaughter, so the dots of the judge and the court now have to move towards sentencing. —— the thoughts of thejudge. there towards sentencing. —— the thoughts of the judge. there was no dispute about the girl's mental health at the time that she killed katie, we heard today. a friend said that she was nice but we heard, and likes to talk about death. she had had suicidal thoughts and developed severe mental health problems during 2016, and it was injanuary 2017

that she killed katie, so thejudge has to take all of this into account. he said that he actually needed more evidence from medical experts, opinion from them before he was prepared to sentence, so the case has now been adjourned until later this month. back to you. thanks, danny, danny savage live at leeds crown court. some of the other stories making the news at 5:00 — the french energy supplier, edf, says the cost of building the nuclear power station at hinkley point in somerset could go up by £1.5 billion. the total bill is now likely to be £90.6 billion — nearly 10% more than expected. two men have been charged after border force officers based in france seized 79 handguns. the weapons had been hidden in engine blocks on a trailer which was about to be taken through the channel tunnel into britain. barclays and four former top bankers have appeared in court over side deals struck during emergency fundraising at the height of the financial crisis.

the bank's former chief executive, john varley, is among the four charged with conspiracy to commit fraud. downing street insists that the government's position on the public sector pay cap hasn't changed, despite calls from several cabinet ministers for it to be relaxed. millions of workers, including nurses, teachers and police officers, have had their pay rises limited to 1% for several years even though the cost of living has risen by more than that. here's our political correspondent, chris mason. has the government been underpaying nurses and teachers, foreign secretary? no response from borisjohnson this morning, but we do know what he thinks. his team told us... mrjohnson is just the latest cabinet minister to say something similar.

i think that we should listen to the pay review bodies who govern each individual area of public sector pay. this is obviously something we have to consider not just for the army, but right across the public sector as a whole. we will not make our decision on public sector pay until the pay review body has reported. and we will listen to what they say, and we will listen to what people in this house have said, before making a final decision. so, how do these pay review bodies work? professor alistair smith has sat on several of them. they look at evidence, especially where there is difficulty in recruiting people into thejob, where there were lots of people leaving. they listen to what the government says about what it can afford. and balancing factors like that, they come up with an overall judgment about what is the right level of pay increase. crucially, while the government can ignore the recommendations of a pay review body, there is clearly pressure now to ensure that they don't. but pushing up public sector pay comes with a big

bill for the treasury. and it is yet to say explicitly that its policy has changed. i think the chancellor is being placed in a very awkward position by everybody ganging up on him. and saying, you've got to loosen the purse strings. he is the person who has to make the judgment. he needs to have the backing of the prime minister, which i'm sure he will get. public sector workers will hope with the cost of living rising, there pay cap will now be ditched. so it's up to theresa may to decide to do, and how to pay for it. joining me now from westminster is the former conservative chancellor, and current father of the house, ken clarke. do you agree with norman lamont, that ministers are gang up on philip hammond and that it is unfair?”

that ministers are gang up on philip hammond and that it is unfair? i do not agree with him on that, but i agree that the chancellor should withstand this pressure, it will not make him more popular by relaxing the pay cap. it would be very nice, it is always popular if you give more pay to nurses. the public a lwa ys more pay to nurses. the public always believed nurses should be paid more because there is no profession more highly regarded. the entire public sector is joining profession more highly regarded. the entire public sector isjoining in this push to try to get the cap lifted before we have actually got public finances sorted out. it would set off a great wave of pay claims across the public sector and into the private sector. and if you had a rash of pay rises bristling inflation, the bank of england will have to raise interest rates. quite quickly i think, and then he would face the question of which tax saving to raise in order to pay for it. so bearing in mind that the government did not, arteries may have the conservatives, did not do as well as they thought they would

envy election, without making it clear that they would look at this policy, that is precisely why people like borisjohnson policy, that is precisely why people like boris johnson and policy, that is precisely why people like borisjohnson and michael gove are coming forward now with the change that he believed should take place. it is not a as clear a change as you are seeing. in the real grown—up world of government, you have to do a responsibly towards the economy. we will be able to raise the scum strains on pay once we have some sustainable growth in the economy “— some sustainable growth in the economy —— raise these constraints. if we all start chasing our own tale, by watching everybody‘s pay go up, and then finding out we are paying more income tax or dat, or if we do not do that, you just print and borrow the stuff, the consequences within a year or two will be very great indeed. but you will be very great indeed. but you will find chancellors are all the

same side, no good looking at an opinion poll seeing people would like you to give a pay rise to nurses and fireman. 0f like you to give a pay rise to nurses and fireman. of course they would. but deficit reduction targets have been missed twice, and the suggestion now is that the books might be bounced around 2025. that isa might be bounced around 2025. that is a long time for nurses, teachers, fireman, whatever, to withstand a 1% pay rise. while inflation is rising and the squeeze on household living is really beginning to bite. nobody is really beginning to bite. nobody is suggesting the public sector pay gap will last until 2025. where totte n ha m gap will last until 2025. where tottenham at the next two to four yea rs. tottenham at the next two to four years. brexit has made us poorer already, brexit has caused this inflation and causing a devaluation. people's living standards notjust in the public sector are being

affected by it, sadly usually people at the lower end of the earning scale are the people most affected by it. they are going to come under pressure on pay. but brexit, if we start having too tough a brexit and putting new barriers up to trade and investment, then we will start affecting the totally‘s revenues as well. philip hammond is conducting an altogether more sensible economic policy, and priority has got to be the real economy, getting real sustainable growth, proper industrial strategy in order to enable us to pay for the public services and reward public service is probably as we wish. i am sorry but you find the opinion polls will not go with me quite as much as they will go withjeremy corbyn, who wa nts to will go withjeremy corbyn, who wants to give more money to everybody, but the fact is you do have to govern a modern sophisticated country responsibly. so what are the pay review bodies who have to factor into their calculation retention and recruitment, and we know from a

report this very week what the situation is with nursing staff in this country and the nhs, they are having trouble getting nurses, because part of the calculation is because part of the calculation is because of this 1% pay cap. if you are talking about dealing with a modern sophisticated economy and the pay review bodies come back and say, actually they should get 1.5% or 2%, then are they being stupid as well? we do have a nursing recruitment problem, but i do not know anybody who says as firmly as you just did that it who says as firmly as you just did thatitis who says as firmly as you just did that it is because of the 1% pay cut. that is part of the calculation, not completely. we a lwa ys calculation, not completely. we always have problems in retaining nurses in a high—pressure service, and the reason we are losing overseas nurses, very nice and very good remaining nurses were used to recruit into my part of the world, nottingham, is that the value of the british salary has gone down 15% following brexit. they were all

sending money home to their families. working as a nurse in britain has been made less attractive by didi valuation that followed brexit. and that is the biggest single feature apart from the permanent pressures, because we all know that the health service is under heavy pressure of rising demand. and again if, if you just spend all the money on pay, you just put off any prospect in raising any money to improve patient service. but apparently the big problem is recruitment of british nurses, not just foreign nurses, and also retention is a big problem as well. asi retention is a big problem as well. as i say... retention is a big problem as well. asisay...iam retention is a big problem as well. aslsay... iam not retention is a big problem as well. as i say... i am not sure i believe that. if the pay review bodies came back and said it should be 1.5% or 2%, would you support that was back? the impact on pay rises generally, an nhs costs, on interest rates, because we would be going into an

inflation recycle if you start putting up paying pursuit of rising inflation. we have been here before, and that, at a time when we still have not fully recovered from the effects of 2008, the longest deepest recession we have had since the war, which left a lot of people after financial irresponsibility, start going down that road again, and it is not just nurses going down that road again, and it is notjust nurses who will suffer. thanks forjoining us. this is bbc news at 5:00. the headlines — a long—awaited report into child abuse injersey, calls for the notorious haut de la garenne children's home, to be demolished as it warns children may still be at risk, in the island's care system a teenage girl has admitted killing seven—year—old katie rough injanuary. katie was found with fatal injuries in a park in york. her mother was one of the first on the scene. downing street insists there's no change on public sector pay. the 1% cap will stay in place, despite growing

pressure to lift it. and andy murray puts aside fears over a straight sets win against kazakh, alexander bublik. former women's champion petra kvitova is one set up. 0ur correspondent dan johnson is 0ur correspondent danjohnson is in saint helly on the island ofjersey.

—— st helier. ban, the most eye-p0ppin9 —— st helier. ban, the most eye—popping conclusion is that years ago, after hearing about the abuse, the suggestion is that some of that could still be going on. incredible, really, that even after three years of this enquiry running, 150 days of evidence, more than 600 witnesses who have provided evidence either in person or in writing, about the sort of abuse that they suffered or witnessed in care homes on the silent, or in foster care families, that there are still witnesses in the child protection policies and procedures on this island, still the authors find some children could be at risk. all children are not getting the level of care that they should get when they are taken into the care of the government here on jersey. urgent issues for politicians to address onjersey.

the chief minister is giving a press conference at the moment with his response and hopefully outlining what he thinks is the best way forward. those who have endured this abuse going back so many decades, left absorbing an acknowledgement of what they suffered. that is what they have been primarily seeking today, their voices have been heard. they have also now got to absorb the news that things may still not be right and more action is required. some of the quotes from this report, looking back over what happened over so many decades, really are quite stunning. decades of failure at all levels, the report says. a cultural malaise towards marginalised young people. ill suited carers, an suitable facilities, outdated practices. —— an suitable facilities. this led to so many childhood being carried out in some of these care homes and the abuse that followed it as well, and that has left long—lasting consequences

for many people who suffered this abuse. we have just for many people who suffered this abuse. we havejust had for many people who suffered this abuse. we have just had a statement from one of the groups that represent some of those people in ca re represent some of those people in care onjersey. represent some of those people in care on jersey. it says represent some of those people in care onjersey. it says that represent some of those people in care on jersey. it says that we represent some of those people in care onjersey. it says that we hope that in timejersey will be able to heal and move forward from this dark chapter in her history. however, for some survivors, this can never happen. to them, this is not historic, the memories continue to consume their lives today and tomorrow, for these people, will never be closer. and the risk that some children are still exposed to abuse today, immediate action required to address these issues. thank you, dan. in the past hour, the northern ireland secretary, james brokenshire has told the commons the government is committed to working with parties to reach a power sharing agreement in northern ireland, and a deal is "achievable". but he added that, if there is no deal in the next few days, the allocation of funds to northern ireland would need to be looked at. lets go to our ireland

correspondent, chris buckler, who's at stormont. mr brokenshire may believe that a deal is still achievable, but you should try telling that to the parties here. they have all given a downbeat assessment of these negotiations, and a new cases of both the dup and sinn fein, they have had very harsh words for the other. today was supposed to be about what happens next, but truthfully, we still do not know what will happen as far as these talks are concerned. and if anything, there is a sense of drift to these negotiations. power-sharing collapsed in january, to these negotiations. power-sharing collapsed injanuary, and six months on, stormont‘s main parties remain deadlocked. deadlines have come and gone, talks have not overcome differences, and sinn fein and the dup continue to blame each other. this hiatus cannot simply continue for much longer. but today, the

northern ireland secretary shows another delay over making a decision about what should happen next. with the deadline now passed, i am under duty to set a new date for a new election. and i will continue to keep that duty under review. but it seems unlikely that that would of itself resolve the current political impasse. negotiations inside stormont castle at stalemate. there are several areas of dispute, including dup‘s reluctance to give official status to the irish language. we do not think it is likely that there will be a deal in the short term because there is a lack of urgency. and the dup's introduction to block the introduction to block the introduction of same—sex marriage that has helped to deepen a debate with republicans. —— the dup's decision. northern ireland is now the only part of the uk where two

men or two women cannot get married, and thousands marched in support of changing the law in belfast at the weekend. however, it is a lack of a meaningful relationship between the main parties at stormont that is causing much wider concern. maybe i ama causing much wider concern. maybe i am a little bit naive. i keep hoping that they will see sense, but they do not ever seem to. i would like our politicians to see the bigger issue and put their petty issues to the side and think about the greater good. the lack of a government is sad to have a practical effect in northern ireland. without ministers, decisions are not being taken, and that has consequences for budgets and public spending. the onus is on sinn fein. they can either lead us towards another election, or towards direct rule, and they know the consequences of that. direct rule would see westminster taking over responsibility for the running of northern ireland. most people would see that as a short—term solution.

finding long—term answers to the problems caused by old divisions seems much more difficult. talks are continuing inside stormont behind me, but without even a deadline, or even another deadline, it is not clear exactly where they are going. when you listen to sinn fein complain that dup are not addressing issues, and the dup complaining that sinn fein's shopping list isjust getting longer, it is not clear that any breakthrough is coming in the coming days, weeks, or even months. thank you chris. we can talk now to former secretary of state for northern ireland, lord hain. we just heard chris talking about a sense of drift seeping into these the bush issues. is that what you are seeing is well‘s the bush issues. is that what you are seeing is well's yes, and i do not see that out of any pleasure. i would like to support the current

secretary of state, that is what has been the case over the decades. but i have been warning, as is my predecessor —— about the sense of drift now four months, and it goes back to the failure of the prime minister and the taoiseach to get a grip through the some six months ago, so deadlines are set and the secretary of state has repeatedly set them, and then they have passed, and there are no consequences, no downside for any of the parties. and meanwhile, there is a massive democratic deficit which is deeply disturbing at a time when the brexit negotiations require northern ireland's twice, just like wales's twice in scotland's voice, to be expressed through its elected government. we heard james brokenshire say that he can, if necessary , brokenshire say that he can, if necessary, have another set of elections. but he gave the impression that that would not solve

the problem, and frankly, the elections a few months ago did not solve the problem either. elections a few months ago did not solve the problem eitherlj elections a few months ago did not solve the problem either. i do not think fresh elections would either, andi think fresh elections would either, and i agree with him at least on that. but i do have a sense that the government has lost the plot, and lost it's now over a period, where they have set deadlines which have been missed without consequences. they have been seen as partisan, favouring the dup upon which this government mothers westminster‘s government mothers westminster‘s government life depends, rather than being an honest broker in the words of the former conservative prime minister, john major, who criticised the one—sided approach to this. this has cast a shadow over the whole negotiations. to be clear, you believe that the deal between theresa may and the dup, that has adverse way affected the negotiations that are taking place now, and against the legislation in the good friday agreement, the uk

government is not behaving like an honest broker. yes, i do, and i do not say that with any pleasure or out of any party point—scoring. i genuinely do think, and i quote the former conservative prime minister, not a labour peer like me, conservative prime minister, sir john major, who said you have to be an honest broker, and i have done thejob, i know that. i had to be trusted by dd ub and by sinn fein in order to pass messages between them because they were not talking to each other between 2005 and 2007 when we finally got the agreement that put them in power together. that has broken down after ten years of stability. you have to be seen as an honest broker. that has not been the case, and i am afraid that that has cast a shadow over it, and in addition, you have got... if you are going to set deadlines, there has got to be a consequence for northern ireland's politicians if they go over that deadline, and there never has been. it's just over that deadline, and there never has been. it'sjust drags on over that deadline, and there never has been. it's just drags on and over that deadline, and there never has been. it'sjust drags on and on. if us secretary of state tomorrow,

what would you do could write you were i would bring iwould bring in i would bring in a former american diplomat who played a important part in the good friday agreement. i would also say to the northern ireland politicians, if you are not going to agree, there is a consequence for that. for example, when i was secretary of state, i said that when the process was dragging out interminably, i said assembly members, expense allowances and the funding that goes directly to their parties in storm and would be withdrawn. and that had a palpable effect. at the moment: the political class carries on mrs

—— missing deadlines and not doing theirjobs. the show continues interminably. i have two ended there. there should be clear sanctions for not getting an agreement today. thanks for joining us. time for a lead the weather. we have got some spells of sunshine to be enjoyed through the afternoon. most of us are staying dry. here is the scene captured by a weather watcher in wick in worcestershire in the afternoon. most of the cloud has been melting away through the day, we have so longer spells of sunshine through the afternoon. not everywhere. clouding over across northern ireland with spells of rain this evening. 0vernight, the rain pushes eastwards into southern scotland: northwest england and a few spots of wet weather across well. 0ther

few spots of wet weather across well. other than that, warm with humid temperatures up to 16 degrees. then we have a slow moving front bringing wet weather across northern ireland, rainfor bringing wet weather across northern ireland, rain for southern scotland and the far north of england. we have three zones of whether, if fresh at north, 13 or 14 degrees but in south it's warmer with top temperatures at 25 celsius. this is bbc news at 5 — the headlines. an independent inquiry into child abuse in thejersey care system has found that children may still be at risk. the inquiry heard from more than 600 witnesses over the last three years. a 16—year—old girl has pleaded guilty at leeds crown court to the manslaughter of seven—year—old katie rough. she was found with fatal injuries in a park in york injanuary. four senior barclays bankers have appeared in court for the first time, charged with conspiracy to commit fraud. downing street insists the position on public sector pay has not changed

despite several cabinet ministers including the foreign secretary borisjohnson calling for it to be scrapped. let's have a look at the sports teams, wimbledon is on the agenda. andy murray has calmed fears over his fitness with a straight sets victory over alexander bublik of kazakhstan in the opening match of wimbledon. let's cross live to the all—england club and join kathrine downes british tennis followers can breath a huge sigh of relief after a pretty routine victory for andy murray? it was. and a sigh of relief for the sun back out here as well. a couple of white rain breaks in the murray match and he was keen to get off and protect the hip, and entry plaguing him in the build—up. all eyes were on murray and centre court, the show

in wimbledon 2017 as defending champion, watching out for the hip, seeing if he was walking gingerly. it didn't seem to give him too much trouble apart from a few grimaces. it was a simple straight sets win against the world number 134. he won 6-1, 6-4, 6-2. but his against the world number 134. he won 6—1, 6—4, 6—2. but his opponent enjoyed his moment in the sun, he said play murray and centre court was by far the best day of his life so far. andy murray as you'd expect, a little bit cooler about things. let's see what he made of his performance and about the injury. i feel pretty good. the last few days, isaid, i've i feel pretty good. the last few days, i said, i've been feeling better each day. getting out on the mat gold is different, the intensity is harder, but the adrenaline and staff helps numb some pains that you

might have. i know well today. i thought i did pretty well for a first match. just a few moment ago a huge roar on number one court meant that rafael nadal is food, fresh from his astonishing tenth french 0pen from his astonishing tenth french open title. he hasn't had such a good time at wimbledon, but not so today. he beach john good time at wimbledon, but not so today. he beachjohn millman from australia who is right 137. rafael nadal is through to the second round. so too is another former champion. two—time champion petra kvitova has been on centre court petra kvitova had a knife attack

earlier this year and has had surgery to repair the tendons in her hand. she still can't grip the racket properly but she is blue in straight sets, beating johanna larsson of sweden. lovely to see her back, playing great tennis and centre court. venus williams is safely through but events off the court for the williams family continue to make news, don't they? now serena of course, she is pregnant with her first child, that venus is here, the oldest player on the court at 37. but overshadowed by a car crash last month in which a man in his 70s sustained injuries and died of them a few days later, a lot of attention understandably and venus williams after that crash here at wimbledon. she did go through her

first round match. good to see her playing good tennis again but later in the conference, she was asked about how she was feeling after being involved in the car crash in her home state of florida. there's really no words to describe how devastating... yeah, i am completely speechless. and it's just... yeah. i'm just... completely speechless. and it's just... yeah. i'mjust... maybe you should go. —— maybe i should go. venus williams understandably upset. a couple of other lines and british players. laura robson out in straight sets, the former british number one. but the current british number one. but the current british number one. but the current british number one is up next, johanna konta, up next for british fans to cheer on the hill. peter ciganda has

won the tour de france stage today. that's all for now. a man has been charged with plotting to assassinate french president emmanuel macron at france's bastille day military parade, which the french leader is due to attend with president trump next week. meanwhile, earlier today, mr macron addressed a rare joint session of the two houses of parliament at the palace of versailles, in which he promised to lead france on a radical new path, setting out an ambitious agenda to streamline the state. he also announced that he would lift a state of emergency in effect since the terrorist attacks in paris in november 2015 that killed 130 people. translation: i will restore the freedom of french people by intimate acoustic of emergency. because those freedoms are the basis for the existence of a strong democracy. that is to abandon them is to give our opponents confirmation that we have to refuse always, opponents of

the have claimed it was weak and if it wanted to fight and killing that it wanted to fight and killing that it would the principles. it's the it would the principle. but it's the exact opposite that it is true. joining me now from paris is sudhir hazareesingh, who teaches politics at the university of oxford, and is a specialist in modern french history and politics. the announcement he made them, that he would lift the state of emergency in the autumn and put in the context of restoring the freedom. how well do you think that is going to go down? is though a sense the terror threat has been abated for a while? not really. there is still a lot of anxiety about the possibility of further attacks. as far as this proposal is concerned, the devil is in the detail. the state of emergency when he left it, a lot of the measures in it are going to be

transferred into general public law. and quite a few people are worried that some of these measures like, for example, surveillance or restriction on freedom of expression, might become permanent asa expression, might become permanent as a consequence. ok. so a state of emergency but without calling it so? in some respects, exactly, that's the concerned. what about his ambitious agenda for the country now? he won handsomely in the presidential election, has a huge majority in the assembly, the national assembly. what do you make of what he said today in terms of how we will take the country forward ? how we will take the country forward? he set out a broad road map in terms of economic reforms, in terms of changing the number of mps, he's going to reduce the size of the national assembly by one third. and there was something rather cruel about gathering: the gathering all

and telling them that —— parliamentarians and telling them that the third of them will face redundancy. and he is acutely aware that a lot of people are suffering at the moment, of a high rate of unemployment on the economy not performing very well. so there is also a republican reformist side to his agenda as well. say he laid out all those aspects clearly. so the coast is clear, as far as politics is concerned, because the opposition is concerned, because the opposition is very fragmented and his party has an absolute majority in the national assembly. do you think, then, he has an opportunity, the way that previous president simply have not? even though they have all said as they have taken office, that they are going to liberalise workplace laws, make it more easy for bosses to hire and fire? so that they can

employ more people? that is going to get rid of the 36 hour week? and open up french employment practices? do you think he has a real chance of getting those policies through in a way that nicolas sarkozy didn't? jacques chirac didn't grow up all the ones in the last 15 years have failed? that's why he's going to vote these laws. the advantage of doing that is you can get it through ina doing that is you can get it through in a matter of months rather than yea rs. in a matter of months rather than years. the major lesson that macron has learned from his predecessors is if you allow a proposal like this, which is quite controversial, to go through the normal legislative process , through the normal legislative process, it is very likely to become paralysed. whereas if you push it through by decree, the text can be voted and enacted by late december, early october. —— late september.

whether it as the desired effect in deep freezing unemployment and increasing productivity, that remains to be seen. what about making these announcements in versailles, that's a bit flash isn't it? macron is a very symbol conscious president. we saw it in the spectacular ceremony an the louvre, the official portrait which was very louvre, the official portrait which was very carefully calibrated. that's part of the french physician, he is someone that he wants to be at least in part a —— louvre president. he modelled it and the american state of the union speech. in one

thing he said in this beat is that he intended to communicate to parliament every year. his symbolism isa parliament every year. his symbolism is a mixture of tradition and modernity. good to talk with you, thanks forjoining us. the communities secretary sajid javid has been giving an update on the grenfell tower fire in the commons. he repeated the promise of amnesty for any illegal immigrants staying in the tower to come forward, as well as anyone illegally subletting their flat in the building. he also gave this update on residents still awaiting accommodation. the prime minister promised that every family that lost their home because of the fire would be promised a good quality temporary home in three weeks. the deadline is this wednesday. i have been monitoring the process of rehousing and we will honour that commitment. every offer will be appropriate and of good quality. what we will not do

is compel anyone to accept an offer of temporary accommodation that they do not want. some families have indicated that they wanted to remain as close as possible to their former home. but when they received the offer, took a look at the property, they have decided it would be easier to deal with their bereavement if they moved further away. some families have decided that for the same reasons, they would prefer to remain in hotels for the time being. 0ther households have indicated that they will prefer to wait until i'm at accommodation becomes available. every household will receive an offer of temporary accommodation by this wednesday. but every household will also be given the space to make this transition at their own pace, and ina this transition at their own pace, and in a way that helps them recover from this tragedy. this is bbc news at 5:00. the headlines — a long—awaited report into child abuse injersey,

calls for the notorious haut de la garenne children's home, to be demolished as it warns children may still be at risk, in the island's care system a teenage girl has admitted killing seven—year—old katie rough injanuary. katie was found with fatal injuries in a park in york. her mother was one of the first on the scene. downing street insists there's no change on public sector pay. the 1% cap will stay in place, despite growing pressure to lift it. and andy murray puts aside fears over and coming up on bbc news, join me for wimbledon sportsday at 6:30. and an update on the markets, the nasdaq is the only blot on the landscape there. a price cap on gas and electricity bills could be extended to more people on low incomes,

under plans being considered by the energy regulator. a limit is already in place for people who use pre—payment meters — and 0fgem says this could be extended to households on certain benefits. the conservatives had promised a much wider price cap in their election manifesto. here's our personal finance correspondent, simon gompertz. there is likely to be more capping of gas and electricity prices but what is not clear is how many will benefit. this woman, who had a soaring bill, says plenty of people need help. she is saving hundreds of pounds every year but only after citizens advice told her how to switch out of her tariff. they should explain properly and the price should go down. suddenly it went higher. at the end of the day it was £800. that bill, if you blame me or not, i needed it to go down. i was panicking, i was very sick. there is an energy price restriction.

0fgem are thinking of extending it. it does not go to all the customers on expensive standard tariffs, 17 million of them, who were told in the manifesto that they would get a cap. a message from the conservatives before the election was people on standard rates for gas and electricity could get up to £100 off their bills because of a imposed price. so what happens now that is off the agenda? the government says because 0fgem already has powers of the suppliers it can move more quickly to get costs down without a lengthy process of bringing in new laws. we want to work with consumer groups, identified a set of customers, and put in measures that we think will protect them in a very important public service. the problem is most big suppliers have increased their standard rates despite 0fgem saying they did not

need to, prompting a senior tory mp to complain that households would be unprotected. it is great that they want to help three million people who are in the less well off end of the spectrum but there are 14 million other households who they are not helping, and all the political parties said we would help them before the election. are you the suppliers being let off? absolutely not. the type of price limit that 0fgem were talking about this morning will require a tremendous amount of work and ultimately, to make this market work for everybody. the government called on energy companies to get people off poor value tariffs but the heated debate over who deserves to have their bills actually capped will keep on burning the government must adopt a definition of anti—muslim

prejudice and commission an independent review of its prevent strategy. those are the findings of a report out today called ‘the missing muslims', which is the outcome of an 18—month inquiry established by campaigning group citizens uk, and chaired by the former attorney general dominic grieve. it's main purpose was to examine how the participation of muslims in public and community life might be improved. the barrister and broadcaster hashi mohamed is one of the commissioners of the report — and is with me now. good to see you. the criticism of prevent, that isn't you, that is something —— isn't new, that is something —— isn't new, that is something to look like. but the idea there needs to be a separate offence of anti—islam or being detrimental in some way to the face and people who are muslim in the same way people can be anti—semitic, that is new? that is new. we think that is

appropriate and what is fascinating about this moment is that we started this commission 18 months ago. what we have seen over the years that so many things have happened, just in the past few weeks alone, events have shown that actually there is a significant increase on this issue of islamophobia. what we are asking for is not any particular treatment but to bring in line the particular attacks that muslims face nowadays in britain, to recognise in away just as last year the metropolitan police started recording hate crimes against muslim in the same way anti—semitic attacks are recorded. it is in significantly new in that sense, but we must also make sure british muslims understand that the attacks against them at this particular moment are being taken very seriously. you said at prevent,

what is also difficult we are asking about, not just an what is also difficult we are asking about, notjust an independent review, we are saying the prevent strategy tries to achieve is important but there is a lack of confidence and a lack of people's belief, that it's not british muslims that are being attacked by this strategy. the only way to get that confidence back is if there is an independent panel to look at aspects in schools, the health service, and in wider society to be to give confidence to a strategy that we think is important and must succeed. the i/o and the muslim can honestly —— but there are elements in the muslim immunity, small elements, it must be said, to try to muddy the water, how do you deal

with that provided we have made it clear that there are people within and outside of the muslim community that want to see it fail and not work at all. those who like lily ideological need driven and don't necessarily think in terms of their was a blob of radicalisation or a problem is to addressed by something —— problem of radicalisation or something to be addressed by something to be addressed by something like's prevent. and we ask them, what would you replace them with? if you are serious about moving forward? as normally, they don't have an answer. we have strategies in hammersmith and fulham and leicester, they are not perfect but they are working in some form. we hope that those examples will be replicated and bringing forward. we hope that those examples will be replicated and bringing forwardm

isa replicated and bringing forwardm is a wide ranging report. let's focus on prevent. it's focus is on the suggestion that muslims have mixed views on the extent they have equal opportunities within the uk. 0ne equal opportunities within the uk. one of the recommendations is that employers should have a blind look at surnames, for instance, forjob applications? yes. so that they are not influenced at that point in the locker room and process. —— not influenced at that point in the recruitment process. do you think the government will read, understand and get the message out of this report? this is a report commissioned and began with citizens uk. this is a fundamentally a report to the citizens out there, both within government and outside government. it's a bottom up approach. we will go on a road show to every pa rt

approach. we will go on a road show to every part of britain, every society, to say this is something we all need to do and we all need to play a part in making a reality. when it comes to the issues of identity, belonging, integration, whichever way you look at it, the ultimate message of the report is, if you do not give people the power, ability and opportunity to have a sta ke ability and opportunity to have a stake in society, they will be alienating, you will not harnessed the talents required, and we must face theissues the issues employment discrimination is only one of the discrimination is that we have. what we are calling for about a blind name cv ‘s, is again not something revolutionary. ernst and young, clifford chance, a number of companies are now taking forward these initiatives. it doesn't necessarily need a government to put it forward. hopefully, dominic grieve, conservative member of parliament,

has promised us at every opportunity is he gets, as long as sajid javid is he gets, as long as sajid javid is secretary, he will continue to press the time. thank you for joining us. time for a look at the weather. we've got some glorious spells of sunshine out there. and things will warm up further later in the week. this was a scene from wick in worcestershire. it shows cumulus cloud. temperatures on the rise and some sunshine but also downpours, particularly by the time we get to thursday. across northern ireland and later in the night, the rain spreads to southern scotland and north of england. warm and muggy and the south with temperatures falling now lower than 15 or 16 degrees. through the day and tuesday, three zones through the day and tuesday, three zones of weather. warm and muggy in the south commode wet weather. then
