yes, lam. i think that it's entirely reasonable that i pay higher rates. it's a question of how much of a reasonable balance for it. but yes, i would certainly pay more tax. while some people will pay much more, the tax cut for lower earners is worth just £20 a year. behind all the smoke and mirrors half of scotland's workers are paying more than they would do in the rest of uk, and we've had all of scotland's business organisations coming out saying raising taxes would damage scotland's economy, would damage our growth. figures released today show the scottish economy is forecast to grow more slowly than the rest of the uk, but public spending in scotland will be significantly higher. sarah smith, bbc news, edinburgh. that is a summary of the news. newsday is coming up at midnight. now on bbc news, it is time for newsnight. as we seek each other‘s help and resolve, to build on our hopes for the future in which the tragedy that struck grenfell tower will never happen again. tonight, an emotional service at st paul's to remember grenfell six months on. we'll speak to one of those who escaped the blaze that night. and we spend time at a school in the shadow of the tower

to find out how staff and students are coping. i've had children during my pe lessons saying, "oh, look, that's where my bedroom was". it's in their view at playtime. the one time that they are meant to be coming out to play, there's a juxtaposition there, because we've got the tower being a shadow. we'll ask a leading child psychologist just what can be done to help. also tonight: a warning about bitcoin from one of britain's top financial regulators. "don't buy it", he says, "unless you're prepared to lose your shirt". if you want to invest in bitcoin, be prepared to lose all your money, that would be my serious warning. and is a white journalist asking a blackjournalist for contacts, quotes or information simply "good research"? or is it the culturally inappropriate theft of intellectual property? they came to st paul's cathedral,

1500 people of all faiths and none, to remember. six months ago, 71 people died in grenfell tower, an event that shocked so many not simply because of the horror but because of what it revealed about how many people live today in this rich country, seemingly out of sight and out of hearing of so many of us. joined by members of the royal family and the prime minister, survivors and the family and friends of those who died honoured loved ones and gave thanks to the emergency services who risked their lives on that fatefuljune night. we pray for those who have offered their support, for all who sustain us with their care and friendship. so now, together, we remember and reflect.

# insha allah, insha allah # you'll find your way.# for a moment, we all lost our fear of each other. we lost our obsession with ourselves, and we reached out across the city in love for our neighbour. # every time you take one look around, # you then remember that they're really gone.# with me now is mohammed rasoul, who escaped from the fifth floor of grenfell tower with his wife, father and two young children. he was at the service today. thanks very much forjoining us. a difficult day, i am sure, but maybe uplifting in some senses. most definitely.

it was a very emotional day but at the same time deeply meaningful. it was a day we came together as a local community and as a nation, to remember those we lost in that tragic fire, who were victims of a gross injustice. to see people turn up today from our local community, all around the country, our country's leaders, it was deeply significant. and to have it in such an iconic national landmark, to me, shows that when that fire happened and those people lost their lives, innocent people lost their lives, men, women and children, that the country felt our pain and felt the pain of everyone who was bereaved, and felt the pain of the survivors and the whole community. there has obviously

been a lot of mistrust. do you feel that an event like today helped start to build some trust between the different groups? the prime minister was there, representatives of those in authority. is there a way of this being at least part of some of the healing process and building some trust? well, we are hopeful of that, but there is still a long way to go. you still have four out of five families, survivors, still not re—homed. you have some people that arboretum that are still waiting to bury their loved ones. but we are hopeful

that the prime minister and others will listen to our concerns and amend the mistakes of the establishment, the system that failed those people and caused them to die. there is a petition going on at the moment which was presented to the prime minister, and we are optimistic that she will consider and pay attention to the voices of the bereaved and survivors, and allow their to be a panel of experts alongside the judge that will report back to her. what is your situation? i know you have been rehoused in a hotel and moved at least once. where are you living now? in a hotel with my family, my 86—year—old father, the oldest surviving male resident, my wife and two children. my son is five and a half, and my daughterjust turned two at the beginning of this month. she has spent a court of her life in hotels. she has spent a quarter of her life in hotels. what do you feel about the fact that you are still in a hotel

six months on? i try not to think about it. if i let concepts like that... if i internalised it too much, i believe i will break down. i just get on with my daily life. i go off to work, soldier on. my family and my wife is a big support in that. you have touched on the enquiry, do you think it is moving quickly enough, and do you think it will ultimately answer all the questions you have? i think it is early days but we are hopeful. i think our community recovered from what happened, and because of the neglect we were shown before the fire, the blatant disregard and indifference from the council's side to residents concerns about health and say the, to the refurbishment, the community and people lost a lot of faith in the justice system. but it's never too late to build

bridges, and it's never too late for myself or anyone from the community to be proven wrong. i am hopeful that, i try to be optimistic. and today was a day of immensely deep sadness, but with everything that has gone on in the last six months, the public response has been amazing and deeply moving at times. we have witnessed beauty that has moved us to tears, people from all around the country, different backgrounds, different ethnicities, with their differences, coming to help us and transcending their differences and coming to help us and offer us clothes and food and opening up their hearts and their homes to us. that has renewed my confidence in humanity. so for me, there is a lot of hope there, a lot of hope. thank you so much for coming and sharing your thoughts. hopefully that hope will be rewarded.

thank you very much. on the morning of the tragedy, oxford gardens primary school, just half a mile from grenfell tower, opened its gates not knowing what to expect. the school wanted to offer sanctuary to children who might have lost everything. it later emerged that a third of the children at the school had witnessed the fire or been evacuated, some had lost friends or relatives or knew people in hospital. and, though it couldn't be officially confirmed for weeks, one of the school's own eight—year—old pupils died that night with his family. for the last six months, staff have been much more than everyday teachers. they've had to counsel children through their grief, while also dealing with their own. and all in the shadow of the burnt out shell that is all that is left of g re nfell tower. last week, newsnight spent time at oxford gardens primary school. i am from this community, i am born

and bred from this community. it is a very warm community, it is a very diverse community. i love the energy, i love the enthusiasm. it is a little different from most areas. we have got politicians living right beside immigrants, david cameron lives across the road for example, so such a melting pot of different personalities and cultures. i definitely think that this school is a microscopic look at the larger community that we are surrounded by. at 6am i made a phone call to my headteacher to say it looks like there is a very serious incident on our doorsteps. they never teach you how to deal with these things and i just

rememberjust looking at it and not believing what i was seeing at all. i have never seen so much stuff all over the school. these grounds, all the three playgrounds, they were just covered everywhere. black ash, chunks of it. and ijust thought, how are we going to clear this up? my first thoughts were with my friends that were in the tower and then it dawned on me the children that we teach at school. we decided that we wanted to open. we knew that this terrible, terrible, tragic disaster had happened and we wanted to make sure that the school was a safe place for children to come

if they were able to. we were very aware that we would have a lot of children who would not be able to come. this was done after we found out medhi had passed away. some children wanted to say goodbye, other children just wanted to write as though he was still here. we had lost somebody, he was a member of our class who was there all year, he was a beautiful, lovely boy. he was there one day and he was gone the next. having to explain to a class of children that somebody has died and in quite a horrific way was very sad and quite traumatic. there is a sense of shock

and disbelief, there is a sense of anger and outrage. there is the loss, the anxiety. you cannot underestimate the enormity, i think, for a child to go to sleep and come in the next day and a whole family has been wiped out. i would say it has been very tough professionally. at times i felt like a counsellor, not just a teacher. i have had to drop particular sessions to talk about how they are feeling, how we should deal with our emotions. some of the questions they had were truly horrific. how could this happen? why has it happened? how did some people get out and he didn't? really tricky questions and i don't have all the answers. i have had children during my pe lesson saying, "look,

that is where my bedroom was." it is in their view at playtime. the one time they come out to play there is a juxtaposition there because we have got the tower and we are in the shadow. move your feet quickly. stop! we have had children saying they wished they were in the tower rather than mehdi. and when a child says that to you what can you say? do you know what you are going to do tomorrow? i knew you would be happy. there are lots of different ways that children want to share their story. i have had children who want to draw the tower again and again and again.

what they saw that night, what they felt that night. i have got children who wanted to make the tower, i have got children who wanted to decorate the tower with beautiful stars and to shroud it in something lovely because it is so ugly for them at the moment. i have had people wanting to be firefighters and save the people in the tower. everybody‘s story is so different and everybody needs a different kind of way through. what shall we put there? it is a huge thing to take in for an adult, let alone a child, but i do feel like they have been amazing at handling it. they have given me strength because they have just been so honest and they have just been themselves. morning, boys, morning. six months on it is still fresh because families still talk about it. there are still some who haven't been re—homed yet, they are still in hotels.

cabs every day coming to school. i never imagined that when christmas came we would still have families who were displaced. we had no idea that it was going to really impact for this long. we have a lot of children in this year group who were not only there and saw it but were evacuated and are still in temporary accommodation. that isjust a constant reminder of what has happened to them. their routine has been spoiled for six months. in counselling what we want to do first of all is make sure that people's basic needs are met, so to try and work with their well—being and emotional health when they still don't have a home i think is really hard. it is only natural that people want to understand why it happened. why in 2017 a modern tower block can burn from bottom to top. it has been the most traumatic event

that our community has had to deal with and it is really just relief now. for us it is about bringing our community back, uplifting people's spirits, and we owe that to the families that we lost. the things that they have written in here really show how they are feeling about it. it makes you remember that, well, not that we don't already know it, but we have got a long way to go, we know that. and we will get there. through all this terrible mess and all this sadness we are looking at how strong we are now. people have stood together and people have united and that is how we move forward. we all share this grief

and it is a little bit like losing a family member. i think it is hard for people to understand that you were with them 9 to 3:30 every day. he was a beautiful member of our class and we do miss him, we miss him every day, we do. we should not be saying goodbye because he should still be here. oxford gardens school, six months on. and our thanks to their staff and students for helping us make that piece by sara moralioglu and katie razzall. well, dealing with a community—wide emergency of this scale demands a huge amount of those involved. with me now is laverne antrobus, a child psychologist from the tavistock clinic who offered support to some of the first people to respond to events that night. thank you very much forjoining us.

what is remarkable that comes out from the film we have just seen that teachers changed literally overnight from worrying about the everyday things they are teaching like maths and pe kits who suddenly caring about the emotional well—being of the children they were looking after and teaching. what kind of advice do you give to people in that type of situation? as you say it was very complicated. it was unprecedented and it was an event nobody could imagine happening. what the teachers were saying was they had to change, they had to start responding to the needs of the children and i think that is exactly what you would want. children have lots of questions but i think as adults we can imagine that we have got to give them much more information than they are seeking. it sounds to me as if the teachers in the school were able to take their time, slow things down. we know clear facts about what has

happened, so there are some things children are able to answer themselves, but i am never so sure we need to go into a huge amount of detail. we need to listen to primary age children to hear what they think about what has happened, but also to build on that. it must be true that children react in different ways and you are teaching may be 25 children in a class and some children may be do not want to talk about it, they want to escape a bit, some children wanted to draw the tower every day. how do you help each child with their different responses? some may be want to hide away and others want to really engage. it really is about watching. the curious thing about young people is they are very watchful themselves and they are looking to see what the adults are making of their behaviours and emotional states. children find it important to draw and talk about the things they would like to do when they are older because that would help them think

about looking after people. those are important things. i thought it was interesting that the teacher acknowledged that teachers spend most of their time with these young people, more than parents sometimes, and being aware of the difficulties they find themselves in is important, but also keeping things going is also important. normality. it is a huge relief for a lot of children who do not find themselves in the same situation, we are going to do our english lesson today, that gives me structure and comfort. it would be quite comforting in and of itself. what is striking, and this is not true of all tragedies, is that the tower is there, very much a monument as to what has happened, a reminder, what difficulties can that create when you are everyday literally walking to school or playing in the playground as the teacher said? it is standing there are always reminding you. it becomes part of the community presence. i imagine for some children there are moments when they forget about what has happened

for a little bit, but suddenly the reminder is there. that is quite tricky. how do you go on? how do you live your life and move on and have hope as we heard in that film? that things can change and feel a bit better? but also that the community can feel a bit better. i am sure a lot of the children are responsive to the fact that the community must feel very sad. how do you go about your ordinary, everyday business and be happy in the playground and play games with your best friend and suddenly be reminded that something truly terrible happened ? i think it is a really difficult time for a lot of people,

but you have got to keep sight of the fact that life does move forward and children should be allowed to catch themselves being a little bit happy and hopeful. thank you for coming in. the prime minister, theresa may, arrived in brussels this afternoon for yet another crucial summit, where she's hoping that the other 27 countries of the eu will decide to move forward to those all—important trade talks. she admitted she was disappointed by last night's house of commons defeat, but insisted that the necessary legislation is making "good progress". our political editor, nick watt, is there. nick, how was the atmosphere today with the eu 27? a little bit chilly over there there are lots of warm hugs? we had a rare sight this evening over dinner with a 28 leaders including theresa may which was a uk prime minister being praised by fellow eu leaders. i have covered more of these summits than i care to remember and i cannot

think of a president of having a uk prime minister being praised like that. tony blair, the most pro—eu prime minister since ted heath, had stand—up rows with jacques chirac and gerhard schroeder. what is going on? the eu are impressed with theresa may's message which is she was an orderly brexit, it is a difficultjourney, but she praised eu leaders for working with her. the other message was she wants in the future for the uk and the eu to be close friends and allies. but these eu leaders are also making a raw calculation. they believe theresa may is gritty, they quite respect her and they think she would be far better than the alternative and that alternative they believed would be boris johnson. another point is the vote in parliament last night and they have knowledge that and they have said we are negotiating with you, prime minister, and not your parliament.

any more news on the timetable about the all—important transition phase or implementation phase, whatever we call it, and the trade talks themselves? the really important bit. well, theresa may made clear this evening she would very much like to move onto the next stage and particular urgency on transitional arrangements as the eu calls them. the problem for her is the draft council conclusions are saying in the two—year period the entire body of eu law would apply to the uk and any new regulations introduced, they were also applied to the uk and the uk would not have any votes. that crosses a boris johnson red line. on the future trade arrangements there will be guidelines published tomorrow and the uk is very hopeful that they will be quite vague and that will give the prime minister time to talk to a cabinet next week, to talk about the future, and not have her padlocks into a definitive eu position on thatjust yet.

nick watt, thank you very much. it is the gift that does not seem to stop giving. bitcoin is a so—called currency created by bocelli, we are not quite sure who. a year ago one bitcoin was worth a measly £5.80. then it rose up and suddenly in the last few months it's spiked up to £12,a00, something of a one—way bet one might think, despite its extreme volatility and links to the criminal underworld. and this week more mania as people who want to speculate on the future value were allowed to do so on the first regulated platform in chicago. i spoke to the chief executive of the chicago board options

exchange and asked him if this was another gamble. we're not endorsing bitcoin but what we wanted to do was bring transparency to a commodity where there was interest. and your only choice before we launched on sunday was to represent that interest on a crypto exchange somewhere around the globe, one without the oversight that we're used to. reassuring words from ed tilly there. but on this side of the atlantic tonight, a warning, and a pretty strong one. i spoke to andrew bailey, chief executive of the financial conduct authority, an important regulator. i asked him how concerned he is about bitcoin‘s meteoric rise in value. it's actually not regulated by us in its bitcoin form. where we come in is where there are instruments that are referenced to bitcoin. it's a very volatile commodity in terms of its pricing, if you look at what's happened this year. and i would caution to people,

we know relatively little about what, in a sense, forms the price of bitcoin. it's an odd commodity as well because the eventual supply is fixed. if you want to invest in bitcoin, be prepared to lose all your money. that would be my serious warning. what evidence do you have at the fca about who is actually buying bitcoin? we don't regulate bitcoin, as such. isn't that the problem, mr bailey, that you don't regulate? the technology is ahead of you. well, i'll come back to that. i think the decision on what we regulate is appropriately for government and parliament. and we don't regulate commodities. we regulate instruments that are referenced to commodities. so if you buy a future or an option, then we do come into the picture. but we don't regulate commodities per se. and that's clear. it would be for parliament, ultimately, to make that choice if it wished to do so.

i don't press for that, providing people understand very clearly this is a very volatile commodity. what evidence do you have, or do you have any intelligence, on who actually is buying bitcoin itself, rather than the instruments referenced to bitcoin? well, we have no evidence, as such, because one of the features of bitcoin is the anonymity of who the recorded owners are. and that emanates from the technology that supports it. you can't go somewhere and look up the record of who owns bitcoin. the fact that it's called a currency, the fact that there are atms, do you think that people actually realise that they are not investing in something like the pound or the dollar? well, i think there's a risk to that. you're right that by adopting the name crypto currency, there is a risk that some people regard it as the same as what in an economist‘s world you call a fiat currency. a fiat currency is backed by a state. that's what keeps the value, preserves the value of fiat currency, through the actions central banks take. bitcoin is not that.

it's a commodity, it's not a currency. would it make your regulating of financial stability, protecting consumers, easier, if you had more powers in this area? i don't think bitcoin is prevalent enough at the moment to be a systemic threat in the way that we've experienced obviously during the financial crisis other threats. it needs watching carefully, but i don't think it's at that point. if i thought there was evidence that people are saying, "you know what i'm going to put my pension into, bitcoin", i would be very concerned. now, we don't see that at the moment. maybe it's part of the big portfolio, but again, if it is, it should be done by people who say, "i don't mind losing all the value of that piece". some people might say the technology is leaving the regulators behind, that you're racing to catch up and you simply don't understand how that market working. so there's a whole new technology which is really about the bitcoin production and sort of maintenance process. pretty opaque. yeah, i mean they are mined. my understanding is i think 21 million can ever be mined,

and i think possibly something like 17 odd million have been mined. so that makes it unusual. and we'd like to understand that, so that if it does begin to get widely used, we've got greater familiarity with it. andrew bailey, thank you very much. thank you, kamal. for weeks, the united nations has been calling on the syrian government to allow those urgently in need of medical help to leave the besieged, rebel—held, strategically important enclave of eastern ghouta near damascus. more than 100 of those needing evacuation are children. but so far those calls have fallen on deaf ears and some of those waiting to leave have now died. newsnight has been reporting on the situation in eastern ghouta, which is growing worse by the day. here's mike thomson, and a warning there are distressing pictures in his piece. afterfour years of siege eastern ghouta's health care system is close to collapse.

and it's the young, like eight—year—old rowan, who are suffering the most. translation: she was born as a perfectly healthy child who could walk. suddenly, she complained of eye pain and we rushed her to the doctor. doctors took biopsies from her head and then she fell ill. now she's completely paralysed. little rowan has kidney failure, subcranial haemorrhaging and cirrhosis of the liver. like nearly 12% of other children here she also has severe malnutrition. yet treatment is out of reach. translation: the road was blocked and i could no longer provide her with any medical help. it all stopped. her medical condition is constantly deteriorating and she's going from bad to worse. starved of medicines and equipment doctors in eastern ghouta can't treat complex cases. yet such care is available, just a stone's throw away. translation: we need

immediate evacuation. 15 people have died and more are dying on a daily basis. people have tumours, heart deformities and others requiring surgery. their lives could have been saved had they been given medical help. we only ask for safe passage to treat them in damascus, which is only a few miles away. rama has a very serious condition — she's unlikely to survive for much longer but if we had more medical supplies, drips and pain killers, we could at least alleviate her pain. four year—old rama has cancer of the throat. her desperate mother knows that evacuation is her daughter's only hope. yet the syrian government still refuses to allow it. translation: i plead with all humanitarian organisations and the entire world, and anyone who's listening to us for help. help rama by either allowing us safe passage to damascus

or by letting medical aid in. some in eastern ghouta blame the outside world for not putting enough pressure on the syrian government, saying organisations like the un are more talk than action, an allegation we talk to all parties in order to get access, and we are preparing. we have the materials there, in order to be to get in and to get these children out. but unless we are given humanitarian access, unless all sides give us a corridor, it's going to very difficult for us. the lives of 137 severely injured or ill children, as well as more than 400 adults, continue to hang in the balance as they wait, so far in vain, for evacuation. and as the bombardments continue,

their numbers look likely to grow. 12—year—old mukdeen was leaving his school when a mortar struck, throwing him to the ground. several of his friends were killed and many more injured. young galeb survived, but onlyjust. today's peace talks in geneva haven't helped morale. they ended in failure. leaving the lives of those urgently needing evacuation in continuing, agonising limbo. yesterday an evening standard journalist contacted gal—dem, an online magazine for black and asian women, to ask for help on writing an article about how to have a "woke" christmas. the word "woke" originates yesterday an evening standard journalist contacted gal—dem, an online magazine for black and asian women, to ask for help on writing an article about how to have a "woke" christmas. the word "woke" originates from african american activist communities and the oxford english dictionary

defines it as "alert to racial or social discrimination and injustice". the magazine called the evening standard's request "a classic case of women of colour being asked to provide their input and knowledge for free". but does this argument mean journalists should be stopped from asking questions from specific groups of people? and should any form of knowledge be considered intellectual property that one group owns? joining me now are charlie brinkhurst—cuff, deputy editor of gal—dem, and kenan malik, contributing opinion editor at the international new york times. welcome, both of you. what brought the response when the e—mail arrived from the evening standard journalist asking about, he wanted to write about a woke christmas? what sparked the anger? the context is that gal—dem is an online and print magazine which is hoping to challenge the homogenous white media

landscape, because we think it's important that lots of different voices and narratives are heard. the problem with the e—mail is that for the editor in chief, it was a tipping point for her. we get asked to do things like this all the time, and people use us in a very tokenistic way, as a voice of diversity. and i think shejust had enough, really. and she was upset with the fact that instead of leading the narrative, we were just being commentators. we want to be the people running the show, running things like newsnight in future. you are quite welcome to do that! wasn't he just a journalist trying to find things out, which is what journalists do? yes, i appreciate that, but i think you have to look at the context in which

he was finding it out. this is a white male journalist writing about a topic he is not comfortable on. i don't know whether he challenged his editors on whether or not he should be writing the piece, but a lot of the time people don't. it's important to remember sometimes that a writer from gal—dem might be better writing on a specific topic than the features writer at the evening standard. we throw around the words cultural appropriation. is a journalist asking for help from a group of people to write about it himself, if he is not of that group, is that cultural appropriation? no. and i am not sure that charlie is saying that. we all get these kind of requests, journalists who want to use your knowledge for their ends. sometimes it is a genuine request for information, sometimes lazy journalism from people who can't be bothered to do the research themselves. it's not necessarily a racial thing.

i had a senior bbc news journalist, non—white, iwill not say more than that, whose researcher phoned me and said he is writing a book about multiculturalism and once a chapter about bradford. he doesn't know much about the place. can i interview you to get information? so it is not a racial or a cultural issue, it's a question of lazyjournalism, sometimes unethicaljournalism. what is cultural appropriation? is there an issue there, which maybe this was not a reflection of, with people writing about groups they are not of? i think the problem is to see some of these issues as cultural appropriation. cultural appropriation is usually defined as the use of cultural forms from other cultures without permission.

i think that is problematic the two reasons. one, because there is no such as cultural ownership. none of us has ownership of particular cultural forms. the second question is, who gives permission, who is it that licenses someone from one culture to use in whatever way cultural forms from another culture? so the notion of cultural appropriation is problematic. you wrote in the guardian that white people should leave writing about issues of being woke to black people. is there a way that non—lack or asian journalists can write about issues that are about black and asian people? i think that might have been the headline, which i didn't write, actually. i trust that a lot ofjournalists out there do their research and are well versed in issues around

being woke and other things. in this specific incident, this journalist did not feel comfortable writing on this topic and so should not have been doing it, or else why did he reach out to us in the way that he did? who are the gatekeepers of a group's identity and who can write about it? people who license themselves to be gatekeepers, who licensed themselves to say that certain things are allowed and certain cultural forms can be used in certain ways by other people. it is deeply problematic. certain people license themselves to be the arbiter of the good use of cultural forms. they then get the power. what is being appropriated is not culture but their rights to police cultural forms. thank you. that's all for this evening. kirsty‘s here tomorrow. but before we go, charlie chaplin's family have written an open letter asking for london's cinema museum to be saved.
