and coming—up on bbc news: there's a dream debut for toby roland—jones as england's bowlers run riot over south africa in the third test. good evening. 82 buildings have beenjudged unsafe by the government's new fire safety test in which insulation and cladding of the type fitted to grenfell tower were considered together for the first time. the test is more thorough than previous checks, which only tested cladding. 47 of the buildings are owned or managed by local authorities or housing associations. at least 80 people died in the grenfell tower fire injune and the government today announced an independent review into building

regulations and fire safety. here's our home affairs correspondent tom symonds. inside the burn hole, this is where the tests have been taking place upon which the fate of dozens of tower blocks hang. so by the government has refused to release video of the tests, but it involves setting light to cladding and installation fitted to a nine metre wall. this afternoon the first results showed the same design as g re nfell tower results showed the same design as grenfell tower failed to meat safety standards. the test was stopped after eight minutes and 45 seconds because it had reached the top of the test rig. the landlord of a buildings, 47 of them social housing, will now have to take urgent action. in salford, anticipating a test failure, the cladding is being taken down. you are sleeping in bed at night time

thinking that is not safe. it is bad, isn't it? they should take the lot of, i do not care how much it cost. it is not money, it is people's lives at the end of the day. the new skill tests are designed to replicate the way g re nfell tower was designed to replicate the way grenfell tower was refurbished with a cladding system to improve insulation and the look of the building. it is the bits that make up building. it is the bits that make up the system that are being tested together. the cladding itself is basically a sandwich, thin sheet of aluminium with plastic in the filling. then there is an air gap designed to improve ventilation, but did it fuelled the fire? behind that, thick blocks of foam insulation. how well did they withstand the flames? the tests involve using various plans of cladding and insulation to assess how they perform in a fire. when sections of the cladding were tested on their own they failed spectacularly. the government has

not allowed us to fill any of those tests, so we obtain a piste of the same cladding used as grenfell tower and asked a company specialising in plastics to show us how it reacts to fire. when the flame was applied to the aluminium sides there was no problem. but when the sample is turned so the flame hits the plastic filling in the aluminium sandwich, this is what happens. several tests showed in similar temperatures to the grenfell fire it drips burning plastic. if you clad building in it, you have got a fuel source for a flame to propagate on. if you do a small—scale fire test, it is not necessarily representative of what will happen on a full—scale building. which is why the government is now doing full—scale tests. but three separate sources with direct knowledge of the type of cladding used as grenfell tower has

told the bbc it has never been subjected to the full—scale test. yet it was used on this building after a refurbishment certified as safe by kensington and chelsea's building control. was the cladding installed without the test data inspectors rely on? official advice says if flammable materials are planned for a tall building, the design should be fired tested or study provided on test results. we have arrived at a situation where we have arrived at a situation where we have arrived at a situation where we have a series of different pieces of legislation, we have a series of different tests that can be applied to that legislation. we have created a system of cracks and shadows that people can either fall into either vertically or hide in the shadows. today a new independent review of fire safety was announced to look into those cracks and shadows. and tom is here now. you mentioned at the end an

independent review. what will that consist of? it has added another review to the list of enquiries into this tragedy. it will look at the building regulations, this complex set of rules that are being scrutinised and that are at the centre of all concerns about fire safety. how well have there been in force ? safety. how well have there been in force? how do they fit into international standards? already there are implications for landlords. they will potentially have to borrow large amounts of money to sort out their own fire safety problems. they are being told as these test results come in that they have to take urgent action to look at their buildings and possibly remove cladding. there is a lot going on. there is the police investigation and we heard yesterday there may be investigation into corporate manslaughter potentially involving the council and the landlord of the tower. finally, the

public enquiry. the remix of that will not be decided until next month and that will take a long time to conclude. and that will take a long time to conclude. the chancellor has stated that "many things will look similar" the day after britain leaves the eu in march 2019. phillip hammond said there's broad agreement in cabinet that there should be a transition period of up to three years after brexit to smooth the process, but that it should be finished before the next general election in 2022. let's speak to our deputy political editorjohn pienaar who's at westminster. many believe that philip hammond was a candidate for the sack of theresa may and won big in thejunior election. now he is a pivotalfigure and no one has gone further than he has in setting up thinking about brexit. we knew ministers wanted free trade after brexit. but now he has said there is broad agreement amongst senior ministers, including

hard—line brexiteers that british borders should remain open to all eu citizens for years to come. the overriding concern as we leave the eu, and thejob overriding concern as we leave the eu, and the job will be done on march, 2019, the overriding job is to make sure we go through this process in a way that avoids disrupted cliff edges for business and individual citizens. but it is not that simple. nothing about brexit is. the european union will wa nt future brexit is. the european union will want future trade disputes to be settled by the eu's court of justice. philip hammond has floated the idea of a possible new court. some in government say britain might agree to a limited role to the court of european justice in the future, but you will not see ministers conceding that point now. when it comes to eu trade, beyond trade outside the eu, they say there could be no agreement until after brexit and any transition. ministers want

to get on with it. whether you love brexit or not, absolutely no one believes it will be easy. in a major blow to president trump, the us senate has for a third time rejected his attempts to overturn his predecessor's healthcare reforms known as obamaca re. in a dramatic move, three republicans defied their party to vote against the changes with a decisive vote cast by the veteran senatorjohn mccain, who broke off from brain cancer treatment to attend the session. here's our north america editorjon sopel. the ayes are a9, the noes are 51. the motion is not agreed to. the history books will record that before 2am this morning, donald trump's promise to repeal and replace obamacare that he said would be so easy, crashed and burned on the floor of the senate. outside, opponents who had been

waiting, celebrated. the coup de grace was delivered by senatorjohn mccain with a dramatic thumbs down. to gossips and sharp intakes of breath, the person the president had hailed as a hero earlier in the week from returning from treatment to vote, now the villain of the piece. it left the senate leader ruing a humiliating defeat. this is clearly a disappointing moment, from skyrocketing costs to the plummeting choices, and collapsing markets, out constituents have suffered through an awful lot under obamacare. but that wasn't the only drama unfolding. here at the white house, the most extraordinary bare knuckle cage fight has broken out among the three most senior people in the west wing who aren't the president. the new communications director anthony scaramucci talking in abusive and obscene terms about the chief of staff, and the chief strategist steve bannon. anthony scaramucci has apologised

for the language used, not the sentiments expressed. in his conversation with the new yorker magazine, anthony scaramucci said of the chief of staff: and early in the week, anthony scaramucci told the bbc that his style was going to be more direct. one of the things i cannot stand about this town is the backstabbing that goes on here, ok? where i grew up, we arefront stabbers, we are from and what we are doing. donald trump left washington a short while ago to fly to long island, new york, to look at efforts to curb into gang rivalry and violence. he could have stayed at home. jon sobel, bbc news, washington. japan says north korea has fired another test missile which has landed in waters off it's coast. it's the latest in a series of tests

by north korea amid growing international tension over its nuclear ambitions. we can speak to our correspondent rupert wingfield—hayes in tokyo. what more do we know? actually this test is not unexpected. it has been on the card, we thought it was going to happen on thursday, the anniversary of the end of the korean war, marked in north korea as victory day. they like to do these things on significant anniversaries. we think it was delayed because of bad weather. but the night the launch has come. the missile flew for about 45 minutes, longer than previous tests, and it landed further north, close to a japanese island, and the japanese government is saying it landed inside its exclusive economic zone. the american, japanese and south

korean specialists will be scrambling to do that telemetry, to see how far and how high it flew. that will give them an indication of what its full range might be. back onjuly the what its full range might be. back on july the 4th, what its full range might be. back onjuly the 4th, the previous test showed it could fly about 7500 kilometres, enough to reach the west coast of the united states. this one perhaps will be able to fly further and that is what they will be looking at. and that is what they will be looking at. the time is 6:15pm. our top story this evening: 82 tower blocks are deemed to have failed a new government fire safety test following the grenfell tower tragedy. coming up: a load of rubbish that's causing quite a stink on the streets of birmingham. coming up in sportsday on bbc news: manager mark sampson plays down the war of words leading up to england's euro 2017 quarterfinal match against france on sunday. this weekend europe will mark the centenary of the first world war

battle of passchendaele. the campaign, fought north of ypres in belgium, lasted over three and half months and led to around half a million casualties. one of those killed was george baxter lowson. he was 30 and came from tottenham in london. his story has inspired two tottenham teenagers who have learning disabilities to pay their own musical tribute, as robert hall reports. jonathan and zach from the vale school in tottenham are about to record their tribute to a man they'll never meet, but a man who's become part of their lives. a man called george. # my mate george # i visit you today

# my mate george...# we looked up where the grave of george baxter lowson was, a local soldier near our school. when i saw his grave in tyne cot... it's like we know him. # i think of what you say # my mate george #. because we've got disabilities, it's very hard, but i feel me doing this song has made me more confident because i'm not doing it for myself. this isn'tjust a tribute — it's an expression of anger and frustration. # all i see is death, death, death, death in those places # names, the names,

the names with no faces # soldiers lost and gone without traces # a thousand unidentified cases...# as ypres prepared for this weekend's commemorations, vale school performed their tribute in a city rebuilt from the rubble. their words and music are a new connection to one man from that distant past. i think he would be proud of this music, proud and pleased. he's not with us, but with this song, it's like he's sitting next to us. so we just wanted to give him something. # my mate george. # robert hall, bbc news, belgium. contractors working on the crossrail project have been fined more

let's speak to our correspondent andy moore at kingston crown court. give us more details of what they did. well, this court heard today thatjohn terry made the mistake of posting to social media the fact that he was on holiday. back in february, he told his 3.4 million followers on instagram that he was away in the french alps. he posted a picture of himself and his wife with a message, "a great few days away skiing with the family." after that, his mansion in surrey was targeted by burglars. they stole designer handbags, one of them alone was worth £42,000, £200,000 worth of jewellery was stolen. about £18,000 worth of rare first editions of the harry potter books signed. john terry's master bedroom was

after being overpowered by members of the public and that his motives are so far unclear. venezuela is banning protests ahead of this sunday's controversial election. the government has announced that anyone contravening the ban could be imprisoned for up to ten years. more than 100 people have been killed in anti—government—related violence since april. in the last few minutes it has been confirmed that the terminally ill baby charlie gard has died. it is thought he was moved to a hospice today from great ormond street hospital where he was being treated. fergus wolf reports. this is charlie gard without breathing or feeding tubes, this is charlie gard without breathing orfeeding tubes, before his devastating genetic condition

emerged, which causes progressive muscle weakness. by his side throughout, his parents, connie yates and chris god. they refused to accept charlie had suffered catastrophic brain damage, and raised funds online for experimental treatment in the united states. great ormond street applied to court to end charlie's life support, and everyjudge backed them. at the uk supreme court, with charlie's pa rents supreme court, with charlie's parents sitting behind, the hospital's barrister said his suffering should end. the reality is that charlie can't see, he can't hear, he can't move, he can't cry, hear, he can't move, he can't cry, he can't swallow. immensely sadly, his condition is one that affords him no benefit. an american doctor offering to treat charlie with this experimental powder had not seen his full medical records, and it six months before he came to london to

examine him. finally, at the high court, charlie's parents abandoned their legalfight, court, charlie's parents abandoned their legal fight, saying that time had run out. our son is an absolute warrior, and we could not be proud of him and we will miss him terribly. his body, heart and soul may soofi terribly. his body, heart and soul may soon be gone, but his spirit will live on for eternity, and he will live on for eternity, and he will make a difference to people's lives for years to come, we will make sure of that. a private family tragedy was fought out in public. doctors and nurses at great ormond street, one of the world's most renowned children's hospital is, received abuse and even death threats, which charlie's parents condemned. pro—life groups adopted the cause, and charlie's plight became an international issue when both the pope and donald trump tweeted offers of help. the judge

said it was a pitfall of social media that people commented without knowing the facts. charlie would have been one on august fourth. his pa rents have been one on august fourth. his parents said they were sorry they could not save him but would set up a foundation to help other sick children. fergus walsh, bbc news. the last few minutes, this sad news that the inevitable has happened, this little boy has died. that's right. charlie was taken to a hospice earlier today. his parents had some time with him there, not as long as they wanted. they wanted a week with him in the hospice, and his life—support was withdrawn. he was unable to breathe unaided. one sentence from his parents, they said, "our beautiful little boy has gone. we are so proud of you, charlie." this case underlines that when that relationship of trust brea ks when that relationship of trust breaks down between doctors and

pa rents, breaks down between doctors and parents, that is the nub of this case. it meant a judge had to decide what was in charlie's best interests. everyjudge that looked at this said that, really, charlie's life, he was suffering and he needed to be set free, to die with dignity. and that is what happened this afternoon. fergus, thank you very much. victory for england's women would believe their first over the french for 40 years, but after three tournament wins out of three, hopes and expectations are high. england fans are enjoying their journey through the netherlands were other teams have succumbed to pitfalls, their site has sailed smoothly through. when is our chance going to be better? confidence has perhaps never been higher. last

night, despite not being at their best, england maintained their 100% record in their group to beat portugal and progress to the quarterfinals. the only player to have started every game so far is also england's newest recruit, 23—year—old millie bright. for her family, who have travelled to the netherlands to see her play in her first major tournament, it was another proud moment. this is little millie. she has always been good this. we have always gone along, because i believe, if a child has a drink you go along with it as a parent. all of a sudden, we have come to watch these football matches, but it is not football matches, but it is not football matches, it is england. it has been real. we still ourselves. in the la st real. we still ourselves. in the last three years, every level, she just excels. when she first started at chelsea, you would expect her to have a few games on the sidelines, it wasn't. she was straight in from game one. for women's sport, they

are getting there. the cricket team, their achievement, hopefully are getting there. the cricket team, theirachievement, hopefully for england's women, it is what women's sport needs. progress has been made off the pitch, too. mark sampson has prepared the most well funded women's team yet. a number of big teams have struggled at the tournament, but england have three wins from three. next, they face france, 18 they haven't beaten since 1974. the french have been one of the pretournament favourites, but only just scraped through the pretournament favourites, but onlyjust scraped through their group. still, there has been fighting talk between the camp. we are a team of street fighter, and when we get prodded, we poke back. i will not back off from a challenge. we look at history of the team, getting where they are, nothing has been given to them, nothing has been easy. sunday's quarterfinal promises to bea easy. sunday's quarterfinal promises to be a spiky affair, but england fa ns to be a spiky affair, but england fans aren't ready to home just yet. time for a look at the weather. here's nick miller.

we are going into the last weekend ofjuly with more than a hint of autumn india. in wales, a wet afternoon, and soaking rain in the north, sinking south east as we go through this evening and tonight. quite windy, and windy in north—west scotla nd quite windy, and windy in north—west scotland where the showers continue overnight. pepe reina northern ireland. turning dry and clear, overnight 10—15. this weekend, for many, tomorrow is the better day of the weekend. there will be showers, especially across north—west scotland. sunny spells, cloud and rain coming back into southern england and wales through the afternoon. it is breezy again with these showers, especially in north—west scotland. a few the southern and eastern parts of scotland. dotted in northern ireland, a few for england. many will avoid and stay dry, and have pleasa nt will avoid and stay dry, and have pleasant spells of sunshine. it may

bea dry pleasant spells of sunshine. it may be a dry start, but cloud and rain coming back across southern england into south wales at this stage of the afternoon. that means after cloud and rain, the test match will see outbreaks of rain tomorrow afternoon, perhaps lasting into the evening. this is the picture tomorrow evening. uncertainty about how far north the rain will get. still, though, showers across north—west scotland courtesy of this area of low pressure. it may start with sunshine on sunday, but the showers will gather in the west, heavy and thundery, spreading eastwards during the day. south—eastern part of england may avoid showers, until late on, still breezy and cool for the time of year. a reminder of our main story: while we have been on air, it has been confirmed that the terminally ill baby charlie gard, whose parents campaigned to get him treatment, making headlines around the world,

has died. that's all from the bbc news at six. so it's goodbye from me. the thought of not being safe, and you are sleeping in bed of a night—time thinking that that's not safe, do you know?
