the weekend detail if you can join me in around 15 minutes. good morning. first our main story. firefighters have told the bbc that inadequate equipment and low water pressure are amongst the reported failings which hampered their efforts to tackle the grenfell tower blaze. the claims have emerged as part of a bbc newsnight investigation, which found that a so—called "high ladder" did not arrive on site for more than half an hour after the fire was initially reported. the london fire brigade has now changed its procedures, as john sweeney reports. firefighters say they experienced problems with water pressure and equipment that was either lacking or did not arrive on scene before the fire got out of control. they also described weak radio reception inside the tower and that they lacked enough of the extended duration breathing apparatus they needed, especially when reaching the higher floors of the building. one firefighter described conditions on some floors as: newsnight has learnt the so—called aerial or high ladder did not arrive until more than half an hour

after the first fire engines were dispatched, at 12:55 in the morning. an expert said having a high ladder available earlier would have given firefighters a better chance of stopping the blaze when itjumped from the 4th floor flat and began to race up the side of the building. i have spoken to aerial appliance operators in london who operate those appliances and who attended the incident, who think that having that on the first attempt might have made a difference because it allows you to operate a very powerful water towerfrom outside the building. the london fire brigade said that following the grenfell tower fire it had changed its procedures, and an aerial ladder would now automatically be sent to a fire in a tower. thames water said: it is a truth worth retelling,

that firefighters rushed into harm's way on that terrible night. they were heroes, no question. but was their kit up to scratch, and did arrive in a timely fashion? we won't know the full answers until a public enquiry, but already it is safe to say that those in charge of keeping the capital safe from fire have serious questions to answer. we can talk tojohn now. good morning. can we start with the anonymous accounts from firefighters? on newsnight you gathered these. what were you being told? it was a desperate, desperate story. inside the tower, dark eat, pitch lack, toxic smoke. some of the fire

reta rda nt lack, toxic smoke. some of the fire retardant when fully blame creates hydrogen cyanide. some of the people who run through it choked on the toxic smoke and they are in trouble, some of them died. they left their suitcases, discarded shoes. and then to increase the firefighting efforts the firefighters have got their hoses up. so it's a horrible mess on the inside. on the outside, 1000 degrees heat. and the chunks of the cladding are coming down on the hoses on the ground and bursting them. this was a next to impossible fire to put out. so what were the firefighters telling you with these anonymous reports? what with the main concerns they were flagging? the failures. the things that went wrong. number one, the fire accelerates. now, this is the wrong type of buyer put up the via

internally and spread externally. certified that you need is a tall ladder, a highlighter with thejets of the water goes down on the fire and dampens its down. and the first highlighted —— high ladder did not arrive until half an hour after the first cruise. it doesn't have long but in this case it was critical. by the time it arrived, the fire was out of control. that is the great big failing. and that was a policy bailing as well as everything else. number two, the radios did not work. the individual firefighters, they could not punch through ten floors of concrete. there was too much chatter people could not understand what was being said. not only were they fighting blind, some of them, because of some of the smoke. they we re because of some of the smoke. they were also fighting death because their radios were not working. the red complaint about the water pressure. the was not enough water pressure. the was not enough water pressure. the was not enough water

pressure. the story we were told was that they said to thames water, can you boost the pressure? and there was a problem with that. thames says this is unfairand was a problem with that. thames says this is unfair and we'll find out more at the public enquiry. there are other terrible difficulties as well. the big one was, had there been a high ladderfrom well. the big one was, had there been a high ladder from the get go it is possible the story of the night could have been changed. digital to you this morning. just to reiterate, thames water has reacted. a spokesman said we have been supporting the emergency services in every way possible. any suggestion that was low pressure or that thames water did not supply enough water to fire services during this appalling tragedy categorically false. president trump says he expects a trade deal with the uk to be completed "very, very quickly". he's been meeting with theresa may at the 620 summit in hamburg, where he also confirmed that he will be making a visit to london. our diplomatic correspondent,

james robbins is in hamburg this morning. explain the timeline here. that meeting, is that still ongoing and when did these various thoughts from presidents cup emerge? the meeting may now be over but it is true. things emerged recently. and to reason main will be absolutely delighted with the words that president trump said to the assembled press just as they were beginning their meeting. just as the cameras were allowed in for that brief moment. president trump said that he hoped to conclude a very big deal with the united kingdom. a very powerful trade deal. great for both countries. that is music to the prime minister's years. she wanted a reaffirmation from washington that they were committed with fasttrack tracking insulation to try to have a uk us trade steel ready and in place for the moment when britain leads

the eu. he is known to be a huge enthusiasm for brexit. you described it as enthusiasm for brexit. you described itasa enthusiasm for brexit. you described it as a beautiful thing. that doesn't mean that negotiations have been concluded but it is certainly exactly the sort of signal that the prime minister in looking for from the president. just a thought on what you said on the visit to london because there is confusing surrounding whether that is or is not happening. it is interesting. he was very clear. i will be coming to london. we did not say the context of the timetable but we know, of course, that he has accepted an invitation to come on a state visit to britain. it is proved hugely controversial tome and we still have no date. it was not mentioned in the queen's speech but the president was making clear that he would be coming to london. he did not say when and in what particular context. no date has been set. thank you. the case of the terminally—ill baby, charlie gard,

will return to the high court after great ormond street hospital applied for a new hearing. this has been a long, protracted period for the parents and nursing staff. sympathies can be applied to both in this horrible situation. absolutely. and the core battle is not over yet. it is going to be heard on monday afternoon. charlie's pa rents heard on monday afternoon. charlie's parents believe it could offer one final hope for him but the hospital has made it clear that his position has made it clear that his position has not changed. it said all along that it believes that treatment should be withdrawn. he should be given palliative care and allowed to die in dignity. but the hospital said if new evidence has come to light, as claimed by these experts,

thenit light, as claimed by these experts, then it should be examined independently once again by a judge in court who can look at the data objectively and decide what to do nextin objectively and decide what to do next in the case. this all came about because yesterday the hospital received a letter from those seven medics. in that letter it said that the treatment that charlie's parents wa nted the treatment that charlie's parents wanted to give him over in america had been used on some other patients, not with exactly the same condition, but a similar condition. they said had dramatic results but they also pointed out they would have wa nted they also pointed out they would have wanted to carry out tests on mice that they were unable to do that because of the urgency of this case. thank you. the rspca has confirmed it is seeking new powers in england and wales to allow its inspectors to enter private property and seize pets. it says it wants to be able to rescue animals in distress without having to wait for the police and a vet. from neglected horses to intensively

farmed puppies. the rspca has been rescuing abused animals for nearly two centuries. what began as a charity to help stricken animals has increasingly moved towards an investigative force targeting owners that neglect or abuse their animals. now the charity is seeking to extend its powers to enter private property and sees pets. it is in talks with darfurand and sees pets. it is in talks with darfur and the and sees pets. it is in talks with da rfur and the welsh and sees pets. it is in talks with darfur and the welsh government against us cherry powers to allow its inspectors to enter gardens, sheds and outhouse is about a police officer. the rspca says the same powers exist in scotland and ireland and bringing them to england and wales would reduce the time in which abused animals are in distress. critics say the change would be a step too far. the countryside alliance chief executive said to even suggest... death says it is in regular talks

but there are no plans to change its role. today's pride parade in london will hold extra special meaning for the thousands of people taking part, as it will mark 50 years since the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality in the uk. the parade will be launched by the emergency services. let's get the papers from here. it's the practical way of doing it. we have a store area behind the sofa and we keep all sorts of things there. ido there. i do know whether it want to look at the front of the back of the telegraph is doing quite a good job of getting some for sport on the front as well. we have got sandy murray here. that match was so tense

yesterday. everyone is very pleased in the uk that he got through. also taking a look at one of the stories we are covering. the rspca demanding police powers. it wants to be able to have access to gardens and outhouses in order to be able to rescue animals. on the front page of many, a new chance for charlie. the news that on monday there will be another court hearing in connection with great ormond street hospital asking for thejudges to review ormond street hospital asking for the judges to review evidence about possible treatments for him. that story on the front page of the daily mirror newspaper as well. bbc radio two presenter janice long is here to tell us what's caught her eye. i'm going to start with xenials. it is greek.

what is it? someone born between 1977 and 1983. after generation by and pre—millennial ‘s. they did not have a name and people like to belong. it is important they have a category. these are the people who grew up in the analogue age but became digital when they got sad truth. it all very confusing. a whole table with a phone line. they received birthday cards in a conventional way. they admit arrangements because there were no mobile phones. they were brought up computer literate. they are completely but they were in an analog childhood, if you see what i mean. so they are now cold xenials. the first of those categories, is it baby boomers? the baby boomers. which i am. then generation by, xenials, millennial ‘s and generation z. but you don't hear much about generation z, do

you? the hear much about generation z, do you ? the ones hear much about generation z, do you? the ones born 1996 and later. my you? the ones born 1996 and later. my daughter was born in 1996. my my daughter was born in 1996. my head is action the fuzzy. it's buzzy. shall we move on then? i don't know if i care about any of those categories to be honest. we get boxed in enough things. we get boxed in enough things. we don't need any more boxes. we promised anchovies and chips, didn't we? cause there was a shortage of cod. i cannot imagine, i mean, how would you do it? half a pound of anchovies? are they individually fried or are they lumped together? i don't know if i would fancy. i like displaying anchovies. they don't need to be bouncy. but i don't know if i want them with chips. not at this time of day. they reckon you should take vitamin

d immediately after feeling the effects of sunburn. you can repair the damaged skin. so your body has that ability to react? this is a professor in ohio. however, experts are saying, can we do more research into this? and one in12, think it do more research into this? and one in 12, think it is, one third of brits had sunburn in the last 12 months. don't they get the message? slap it on. cover yourself up. i put on fact and 50 when a romance in the sun but i thought that you go out in the sun to get vitamin d. i thought that because it is there, isn't it? this is something that's... i thought we had a problem with the lack of vitamin d. utica high dosage of vote so that the information is reduced but i don't know how that works in terms of coming into the sun. this is confusing.

the weather, were told, is going to bea the weather, were told, is going to be a lot of sunshine particularly in the south today. cover—up, please. lovely to see this morning. there is one person who knows exactly what is going on. good morning. i think what often catches people out as well regarding sunburn and sunshine is the temperature. people think it is temperature related and it is not. it is how much sun is in the sky. there was a lot of sunshine on offer today. it might only be 16 in the north but it is strong sunshine. we had 30 yesterday. the seventh time this year that we have had 30 degrees. we we re year that we have had 30 degrees. we were not make it a today but we should do better in glasgow. it's all to through the type of air that we've got over the country but it would not have mattered without was 16 and sunny in glasgow 30 and sunny

in glasgow, the sun is stronger this type of year. if you're heading to wimbledon, there have been issues with the heat this week. it is worth taking some protection. we have more cloud today but it is not guaranteed cloud. there will be quite a lot of sunshine around. the cloud will lift a break. that was the morning. i wa nted a break. that was the morning. i wanted to shower that for the picture there. that sunshine will tend to fade with the arrival of our next weather front and i were next atla ntic next weather front and i were next atlantic weather front. got another week weather front just waiting in the wings. it will in a bit more cloud. perhaps not quite so sunny this afternoon as this morning but there will be some rays getting to there will be some rays getting to the cloud. plenty of sunshine and fine, dry and very usable weather. very usable weather. away from the highlands of scotland because we got that rain coming in. lots of sunshine around across the rest of scotland, northern ireland, northern england. more than yesterday. and

warmer as a result. just a bit more cloud coming and going in the south but just strong sunshine cloud coming and going in the south butjust strong sunshine went out and about. a little bit of rain along the coast and west with the cloud is lowest and it will tend to load again overnight and fill—in across england and wales and our weather front is advancing as well. that will bring big changes tomorrow for these areas. in the south new sign ofa for these areas. in the south new sign of a relief tonight at least from the uncomfortable humidity. it will be a close night but it should be, quite grey in the morning. another fairly be, quite grey in the morning. anotherfairly dry, be, quite grey in the morning. another fairly dry, bright and increasingly sunny day across england and wales was tomorrow a few sharp showers. northern ireland with that weather front of the header will obviously be pretty cool. only 14 with will obviously be pretty cool. only 1a with the rain, 27 in the sunshine. the sun returns in the north of scotland. 14—16 next week. fresh air across the whole of the country but rather more unsettled. that'll be interesting for wimbledon's weather next week. back

to you. you know like something the weather. i was speaking to friends across the country and the difference in temperatures has been so raids and you said it is pretty typical but why is that? because of the different cloud cover? the type about. it is atlantic air, which is up across the northern half of the country. this is temperature are picking up. you got atlantic air so ataircoming are picking up. you got atlantic air so at air coming from the atlantic. across the south is continental air coming off the heat of europe. the heat has not been taken by a trip across this evil dog is warming up more over the land. the sea temperatures picking up in the south. we have got 5 degrees of latitude there to play with. the sun is stronger as well in the south. lots of different elements. i didn't

typical of this type of gear? sometimes we're talking about 12, 13 degrees will stop and you don't get that much higher. you don't get much higher than that at any you don't get much higher than that atany time you don't get much higher than that at any time of the year in the far north. they are fairly typical. you're more likely to get that airing to the south more than the north because it tends to be cut off by those lows towards the north and hopefully the sun strength is not dependent on the temperatures. i was referring to the sea breeze for that. it is very typical, particularly when you've got a lot of cloud around as well. so much to learn. ok. it is fascinating. i love myjob. thank you. we will see you later. today's pride parade in london will hold extra special meaning for the thousands of people taking part, as it will mark 50 years since the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality in the uk. the parade will be launched by the emergency services. brian paddick was formerly the uk's most senior openly gay police

officer and joins us from our london newsroom. lovely to have you with us. i wish i was there when the sofa with you but there you go. next time. in our introduction we said this is going to be particularly resonant because it's 50 years since the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality. is that true? is that what people would think? it is 50 yea rs what people would think? it is 50 years on. surely this is just celebrating life, isn't it? a lot of people on the parade, perhaps more, weren't even born 50 yea rs perhaps more, weren't even born 50 years ago. i was. it was a step in the right direction and there has been a lot of movement in terms of the law since then. we now have same—sex marriage. it is not equal marriage. there are still some anomalies for transgender people that needs to be addressed through

legislation. people in northern ireland still do not have same sex marriage. but it is about attitude. though i was only 19 when a change in the law happened, when i was 2011 still felt that if i wanted to have a relationship with somebody i had to have a relationship with a woman. because of social attitudes, because of thejob i because of social attitudes, because of the job i was then, because of what my parents thought. and so i actually married mary, a fantastic woman who were still great friends. i married her and her plucked up the courage to be myself. so today, the emergency services are launching the pride parade. you're the perfect person to talk about this in terms of what this means. well, actually, i led the metropolitan police contingent when we first march. and the police service first marched in uniform in

93v service first marched in uniform in gay pride years ago. must be at least ten years ago now. but to have the emergency services in uniform on parades, to have the armed services on parades where changes in the law there, where homosexuality was illegal for longer after it was illegal for longer after it was illegal for longer after it was illegal for the illegal for longer after it was illegalfor the general illegal for longer after it was illegal for the general population, is very significant. let's talk about some criticism of pride. the commercialisation of it. there has been criticism from figures about these events being almost hijacked, i suppose, by the idea of money, advertising corporate interests. what you think? the trouble is, when we used to have pride as a predominantly political statement, the people who ran it went bankrupt. and at least with corporate sponsorship now, significant

corporate sponsorship, at least the event corporate sponsorship, at least the eve nt ca n corporate sponsorship, at least the event ca n ta ke corporate sponsorship, at least the event can take place. there were some years event can take place. there were some yea rs where event can take place. there were some years where it was touch and go whether it was going to take place or not. some people say, hang on a minute, san francisco, for example, they have a very political parade and they have a commercially sponsored celebration afterwards. that's potentially compromise. but in this day and age the police have to be paid for, the road closures have to be paid for, that sort of thing. and you can say, well, why shouldn't the organisers pay for that? 0k, shouldn't the organisers pay for that? ok, geta political demonstration. does not happen. but this is a celebration. as long as it happens and send a very important message. particularly to people in some parts of the where, you know, viewing gay is difficult still the people. a quick answer to this if you will put upa a quick answer to this if you will put up a figure that surprised me. nearly half of lgbt people in london say they have experienced hate crime. that compares to a national

figure of under 20%. what is driving this? but we were in an age of much more acceptance? i have been subjected to a crime of last couple of years. i think as people are more open about their sexuality they become a target for people who are home if they are big. but we still have youngsters being kicked out of their home by their pa rents kicked out of their home by their parents in the uk in 2017just because they are gay. that is the reality. there was a long way to go in terms of attitudes, even if the legislation has progressed. always digital tube. thank you very much forjoining us. this is breakfast. we're on bbc one until ten o'clock this morning, when matt tebbutt takes over in the saturday kitchen. he's taken the show out on the road. matt — what's on the menu for us? good morning. we're here in our edible garden at the flower. our

special guest today is scott mills. good to have you here. you will based would have an awful later. what is your idea of having question mark i've gone for chicken. i notice kind of dull but i know you will do something special. what about hell? mushrooms. cauliflower. lamb. any of those. we've also got two great chefs here. what are you cooking? i am making a marinated steak. and neil rankin here. what would you cook? chicken with some fresh garden herbs and leaves. and other wine expert as well put up and don't forget you at home can vote for scott to face either food heaven food help. how do they draw listeners will vote ? i don't think it is going to go well. we will see you at 10am. coming up in the next half hour...

former british number two, james ward, is the latest to take on what's fast becoming the toughest challenge at wimbledon — game, set, mug. 280 beats charlie? could the british number two beats charlie? could the british number two beats charlie? see how he does a little later on. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. but first, a summary of this morning's main news. president trump says he expects a trade deal with the uk to be completed "very, very quickly". these are the latest pictures from hamburg at the g20 summit where theresa may's been meeting president trump, where he also confirmed that he will be making a visit to london. firefighters have told the bbc

inadequate equipment and low water pressure are amongst reported failings which hampered their efforts to tackle the grenfell tower blaze. the claims have emerged as part of a bbc newsnight investigation, which found that a so—called "high ladder" did not arrive on site for more than half an hour after the fire was initially reported. the london fire brigade said the police investigation would look at its response and it had already changed its procedures forfires in high—rise buildings. great ormond street hospital has applied to the high court for a fresh hearing into the care of the terminally ill baby, charlie gard. judges had ruled against the child's parents who wanted to take him to america for treatment. but the hospital now wants the case reopened to consider new evidence about a potential treatment. police officers in england and wales now have to fill out a 10—page form every time they use any kind of force, including using handcuffs, cs spray or drawing a baton. the police federation has likened it to "writing an essay"

but the home secretary amber rudd says the new rules, which were introduced in april, will create "unprecedented tra nsparency". train passengers across england are facing three days of strike action from today. it's part of an ongoing row over driver—only—operated trains. the rmt union says it would be unsafe and lead to widespread job losses. arriva rail north staff will walk out for three days from today, while merseyrail staff will strike today and on monday. southern workers also plan to walk out at the start of the working week. the rspca has confirmed it is seeking new powers in england and wales to allow its inspectors to enter private property and seize pets. it says it wants to be able to rescue animals in distress without having to wait for the police and a vet. similar laws are already in place in scotland and northern ireland. police in florida say new evidence shows venus williams was driving lawfully when she was involved

in a car crash in which a man died. an initial police report had described her as being at fault. a 78—year—old man, jerome barson, died in the collision. his family has filed a lawsuit against ms williams, alleging she was "negligently operating" her vehicle. members of the emergency services will officially launch the pride parade in london today. the event will mark 50 years since homosexuality was partially decriminalised in england and wales. for the first time in the event's history, a rainbow flag will be projected on to the palace of westminster. those are the main stories this morning. let's talk to mike. half time is it in auckland? yes, the lions playing the all blacks. what will happen today? yes, i found myself yes, ifound myself a place of tranquillity after the tense first half i was following on my boat. the

all blacks scored a try before owen farrell responded with two penalties and that lions or right back in it. at half—time it is 12—6. but the lions by no means out of this match at all. it has been a surreal atmosphere. i am on henman hill, got the water, got the flowers, and they are getting ready for a super saturday of tennis, there have been members of staff checking their phones and keeping an update on things in auckland. at the moment, taking a deep breath after the first half. as for the tennis, there were four britons involved, now there we re four britons involved, now there were two. andy murray admitted it wasn't the best tennis at times, after he beat fabio fognini, butjohanna konta had it much easier against maria sakkari, as ben croucher reports. and then there were two. we started the week with 12 brits

and onlyjohanna konta and andy murray remain. murray is used to such a stage, centre court is his amphitheatre, where he shows off his finest work. he was bending the ball like, well, him. his opponents, fabio fognini with skulls on his bandanna his opponent, fabio fognini with skulls on his bandanna and skills on his racket pushed him hard though five times, within a point of forcing a deciding set. the roman empire doing its stuff. murray's empire wasn't about to crumble though. what a way to finish! four set win and murray through to round four for the tenth year in a row. hopefully, get myself in a good rhythm over the weekend and come out and play some good tennis on monday. yes, obviously happy to get through the first week. anything can happen from here. familiar territory the murray but against greece's maria sakkari, konta was already stepping into the unknown, she'd never carry british hopes this far. you would not have known.

ranked inside the world's top ten now, on court one she dropped just five games and showed just why she is favourite to win the whole thing. i think everyone's a potential winner here, so i'm here to hopefully be involved until the very end. but one match at a time. i'm very happy to have come through today and definitely got another battle coming up next. if she wins that much, she could meet victoria azarenka if she wins that match, she could meet victoria azarenka in the quarterfinals. the former world number one in only her fifth match back from having a son, ended heather watson's campaign in three sets. aljaz bedene also waved farewell against luxembourg's gilles muller. it was the furthest he had been at the all—england club. emulating murray and konta will have to wait for another year. rafa nadal continued his solid form, he's yet to drop a set after beating russia's karun khachenov on centre court. he didn't drop a set when he won the french open either. one face we're used to seeing in the second week

at wimbledon is venus williams. the tenth seed came through againstjapan's naomi osaka. away from the tennis, england's cricketers are just about on top heading into the third day of the first test at lord's. moeen ali and stuart broad took two wickets apiece as south africa's batsmen struggled in reply to england's a58 all out. and a late wicket from james anderson left them trailing by 244 runs with five first innings wickets left. lewis hamilton already knows he faces a five—place grid penalty for tomorrow's austrian grand prix, after making a gearbox change. he did set the pace in practice though, just ahead of championship rival sebastian vettel. chris froome is still wearing the yellow jersey as the tour de france heads towards thejura mountains. he finished safely in the peleton on stage seven, with marcel kittel, in blue, winning the sprint finish byjust six millimetres. froome's lead stays at 12 seconds. romelu lukaku appears to be heading for manchester united,

despite a late bid from his former club chelsea. united say they have agreed a fee of around £75 million and lukaku is set to have a medical. scotland's women go into the european championship in high spirits after beating the republic of ireland 1—0 in their final warm—up match, christie murray scoring four minutes from time. the euros start in less than two weeks and scotland's opening match is against england. we have the anniversary games, building up to the world championships at the london olympic stadium early in august. one of the stars will be mo farah, running in front of his home fans for the last time. yesterday he came back to london from his training camp in the

south of france and we joined him at a school in battersea. the luckiest pe lesson in london with mo farah dropping in on his return to his home city for some warm up tips... hello. and five laps of the playground. take us back to your playground days, can you remember? yes, i couldn't wait the lunchtime to be over, to get a little break and then lunchtime and just run around outside, trying to play football. they still playing football, just kicking a ball. he is back for the anniversary games tomorrow and to the world championships at the london olympic stadium last month when he won his first olympic double. one last lap before he says goodbye to his home fa ns before he says goodbye to his home fans as his track racing career comes to an end, he helps with more

things. pick the ball in the garden with my son, playing around, take them swimming and enjoy family life. i genuinely miss my kids and i see them in pictures growing up, and sometimes you want to be there in the evening. there were leaked documents which suggested some of his test results aroused suspicion but later, data showed his results we re but later, data showed his results were normal. i was telling my agents, it is been a quiet couple of weeks, what is happening? then this came up. but i will neverfail a test, and those who know me deep down know that. i'm going to keep working hard, keep grafting and do it for my country. the term until the end and as he gets ready to switch from the track to the row, the message is the same to all aspiring athletes. thank you so

top of the leaderboard. they are all fiercely competitive. it is one of those things, silly competition but they can't stop themselves. they just get so themselves. theyjust get so competitive. we will get the weather with helen shortly. but first... to its many donors the rspca is a cherished institution which protects vulnerable pets and livestock. but in recent years the charity has been criticised by some for being too aggressive in its investigations against pet owners. now it has confirmed it is seeking extra powers in england and wales to allow its inspectors to enter private property and seize pets. david bowles is the rspca's head of public affairs. hejoins us now. thank you for talking to us, david. what is the difference that is going to be made to the way or the number of animals you save from distressed by having these extra powers? at the moment the rspca is the main investigator for moment the rspca is the main investigatorfor animal moment the rspca is the main

investigator for animal cruelty and welfare. last year we investigated 159,000 complaints and we rescued thousands of animals from distress. what we are asking for here and we have been asking this since an independent report three years ago, is to have the same level of powers as the scottish spca and the irish spca, all of whom are allowed to enter outbuildings and sees animals. the rspca cannot do that at the moment, which means sometimes we have to wait for the police and the vet to turn up to say an animal is suffering and we can take it before we can. it is distressing, notjust bought the inspectors but also the animals. we believe this move would be positive for animal welfare party would be good for the public as well. my assumption is, when an rspca employee goes to a house, it is because they have been given a warning. someone has reported an

animal in distress? correct. surely they would have called the police or they would have called the police or the vet because they had noticed this animal in distress, why would it cause distress if it is organised in the first place? all the rspca complaints we get, we get over1 million telephone calls a year, which translates into the 159,000 investigations. they are from members of the public, they call us, not anybody else. wants a rspca employee is going out, surely they would have notified a vet or a police officer to meet them at the location of the distressed animal? no, because we never know until we arrived at the scene, if it is a malicious call, how serious it is, if the animal is suffering or not and whether you can get away with giving the person some educational advice. and the advice we give to the public has a 95, 90 6% success

rate so we always like to do education first. in the most serious cases, we like to see is the animal or even take proceedings, but we never know until we arrive and assess the animal. the inspector is the expert, but they need ever to come in and give their advice. they also need at the moment, a police officer because they have the powers we are seeking. typically, how long is the weight, you said it was distressing? it can depend on the circumstances, it can depend on the area or the police force. sometimes you can be waiting up to an hour or over an hourfor this you can be waiting up to an hour or over an hour for this to you can be waiting up to an hour or over an hourfor this to happen. obviously, if you have an animal in distress, you cannot do that. the rspca, one of the hottest weekends we have seen, the rspca will get hundreds of calls this weekend about dogs being left in cars. it is a very important matter and we understand the work. your own chief

executive, jeremy cooper, has said you need to bring prosecutions down. there was a report, a parliamentary enquiry into the way the rspca operates and there was criticism that the rspca was too aggressive and to overzealous. you have enough powers at the moment. if you are only waiting an hour. i am an animal lover, and without being crass, if the animal is in distress, and our will not make that much of a difference in terms of time, apart from to your rspca officer, that is what you are saying. why do you need these powers if it is an hour, if you are already under criticism for being aggressive? we don't have any powers, we have the same powers as you do in terms of investigating and taking it further. we do need to get prosecutions down and in the last four years prosecutions have reduced by 40%. that is because of the proactive work we have been doing.

of course the rspca has had lessons to learn. we have implemented 30 of the 33 recommendations. this issue isn't of our making. the rspca is 193 years old and we were set up before the police to investigate animal welfare offences. times have moved on, but the government, he said we have done a fantasticjob in the last year, when they gave evidence to the select committee, also bullied is halfway house is not also bullied is halfway house is not a good system. you have an ngo who has no powers investigating animal welfare party the government know something needs to change and all we are doing is opening up the discussions with the government to discussions with the government to discuss this. david, thank you very much. lotsa people doing lots of things, may be a barbecue in the garden, helen, how is it looking? more sunshine this morning. we have

seen some low cloud around further west in wales. we do have more cloud across the southern half of the country. you saw that at wimbledon with mike. the sun is coming out. it will be 26, it is very humid and mcghee. it will be quite oppressive in the heat and there will be plenty of sunshine around. do take precautions if you are heading out into the sun for any length of time. the cloud comes and goes through the southern half of the uk with the weather from close by, southern half of the uk with the weatherfrom close by, a weak weatherfrom close by, a weak weather front so the odd drizzly shower. further north we have an approaching weather front which will bring rain into the hebrides, into orkney, the north—west of the highlands the great glen through the afternoon. it will be cool, breezy here but for the rest of scotland, northern ireland, northern england, more sunshine than yesterday. temperatures will get into the high

teens and the low 20s. you can see even further south it is not wall—to—wall cloud, we'll see sunny weather, bright weather but the odd drizzly shower around the coast. the weather front is close by providing more cloud. it will be around the hills and the weather front is progressing south. a different day tomorrow. the central and southern scotla nd tomorrow. the central and southern scotland and northern ireland, cooler and outbreaks of rain. england and wales, grey in southern and western areas but brightening up all the time. it looks warmer tomorrow in the south, but that could trigger the odd sharp shower and it looks cooler in the north under the rain and it looks cooler in the north underthe rain man14 and it looks cooler in the north under the rain man 14 degrees, 27 in the south. the sunshine returns to the south. the sunshine returns to the north. it is a cooler, fresher week next week but i will tell you about that later. helen, enjoy the rest of your weekend. the third and

final test between the british lions and all blacks is underway. a win would mean a first victorious tour of new zealand for nearly half a century. it is a tricky challenge. it is one of the greatest challenges. our reporter is watching the action with fans in leicester. there is a lot at stake, isn't there? there is. at the moment, new zealand are in the lead but it has been such an intense match. nerves are frayed as fans watch. i have a few of them with me. let's chat to scott, claire and wilson. how do you think it's going? it is very close. both teams are still in it, still a long way to go. it could go either way, to be honest. it is tense at the moment. i am trying to keep him occupied at the moment. ray, you

live in new zealand, but you are from harrogate, so you say you are torn? i don't know which way to go. lam torn? i don't know which way to go. iaman torn? i don't know which way to go. i am an avid all blacks supporter but i am also an englishman. but it isa but i am also an englishman. but it is a great game. i hope the lions do well. i would like to see them do well. i would like to see them do well. what do you think at the moment, judging is happening? the lions are slightly behind, but they are pushing. the all blacks our hearts team to beat. it is worth highlighting. you are a lifelong lions fan, you remember 1971, how are you feeling at the moment? we can win this, we are only three points behind. new zealand have played brilliantly, but that is the beauty of this game. three point in it. we can win this. did you think we would be in this position? the lions have such spirit because these

players come together. we do stand a very good chance. never give up hope. never give up hope, there you go. all to play for and they still think there is a very good chance the lions can win. it is all getting very exciting. certainly is, result will be injust very exciting. certainly is, result will be in just after we have gone off air. we are talking about electric cars this morning. earlier this week the motoring giant volvo announced all new models from 2019 will have an electric engine. the next day, the french government said it would ban the sale of all petrol and diesel cars by 2040. here in the uk, sales of electric cars are growing but still represent just 4% of the car market in the uk. so have we reached a tipping point for the electric car? chris danks drives one and he loves it. jamie simpson used to drive one but he sent it back. and james batchelor is the editor—at—large of auto express magazine. you are going to take an overview

with what is happening with the market. chris, why do you like it?|j have a telsa model and it is a big battery, i get a lot of mileage and range. why don't you like it, james? i have a nissan leaf, i like it, it isa i have a nissan leaf, i like it, it is a good car. well engineered. it has not been performing. my experience over the last two years in what i would expect. what about in practical terms? the infrastructure is in supporting the manufacturer. do you mean plugging it in? notjust that, but the places where you can do that. not enough places where you can do that. the battery isn't big enough for the medium—sized car, at this stage. i know they are getting better. a lot

of things need to change before the 496 of things need to change before the 40 of things need to change before the 4% gets much higher. we need of things need to change before the 496 gets much higher. we need to make sure we're not criticising specifically the nissan leaf, you are criticising electric cards generally not living up to your day—to—day needs as a driver? correct. understandable, isn't it? , understandable yes. there are a wide range of electric cars, the cheaper end of the market, you could say there is a problem with the charging network, but cars at the higher end of the market, it is easier to charge. we were saying about the manufacturers now. they are clearly gearing towards electricity, electric cars in the way they didn't previously. is there quite a big catch up between what people expect of their cars and what, at the moment, the manufacturers can deliver? absolutely. manufacturers

are pumping in billions of pounds to create electric cars. the infrastructure isn't keeping pace with the car manufacturers. what do you mean by that? the number of physical charging points around the country. the charging points at service stations, you could say there isn't enough of them and there isn't enough on street charging point either. chris is doing fine. why are you finding no problems? there is quite a lot of charges, i have apps on my phone. i live on the wirral, and i recently drove to amsterdam in my electric, had no issues with charging and the green energy. what is the longest you drove timewise between charges? about four or five hours. drove timewise between charges? about four orfive hours. i get 280 miles around to a full charge. you are very miles around to a full charge. you are very surprised by that? 85 miles

is what i would get. is this down to money because your car was more expensive. if you are willing to kind of pay, you get what you pay for, is that the situation? yes, chris has geared his lifestyle around electric cars, he has a charging point at home, charging point at work and with his telsa he can take charge of the super charging network, which is a network of fa st charging network, which is a network of fast charging points which are only for telsa. for him it works well, but for others, it doesn't work as well. we are out of time. i suspect that we have this conversation in five or ten years' time, it will be a different feel. we probably will be having this conversation because it will be everyday life. thank you. that is it from us today. my message is, come on the lions. goodbye from everyone

here. this is bbc news. the headlines at 10:00am: theresa may meets donald trump at the g20 — the us president says he expects a trade deal with the uk ‘very, very quickly‘ and that he'll soon be coming to london. prime minister and i have developed a very special relationship and i think trade will be a very big factor between our two countries are thank you very much. protests against the g20 continued overnight in hamburg ahead of the second day of the summit. firefighers tell the bbc they didn't have the necessary equipment needed to tackle the blaze at grenfell tower. doctors apply for a fresh court hearing for charlie gard, as experts claim there's a treatment that could help prolong his life. police in england and wales describe a new 10—page form they have to fill out after a use—of—force as ‘very bureaucratic‘
