indeed. let's speak to the area dean of kensington mark 0'donoghue. thank you very much for being with us. thank you very much for being with us. just picking up on that. 0bviously some very, very harrowing statement that the opening of this inquiry, but in a sense, for the families, the friends of the victims, was that cathartic, was that process of remembering the victims cathartic? any priest who has served in any funeral will know that's listening to the tributes from families and friends, colleagues, is always a helpful part of the process of grieving and remembering and looking back with thanksgiving for their loved ones. today, we had heartfelt, harrowing tributes, the ones that particular stuck in my mind works marcio gomes remembering his son, and thinking about his son. marcio gomes talking

about his son. marcio gomes talking about the dreams that he had for his son to support benfica and liverpool, and all the dreams that people have their children and their love that they have their parents, and listening to denis murphy's sister talk about his love for his family, his friends and chelsea football club, obviously not in that order, she said. and just being really struck that he were people whose lives had been ripped apart, whose lives had been ripped apart, who lost the linchpins of their community, and their families, who lost the linchpins of their community, and theirfamilies, but at the same time, able to talk about them at the very start of this inquiry. i think it is key that the focus right at the start is on the victims, and their families focus right at the start is on the victims, and theirfamilies and friends, are able to talk. and were that we the community. this inquiry has been controversial among some in the community. what are your thoughts about the inquiry, your hopes for it? the inquiry is a necessary step, but it will only be a sufficient step if it gets to

truth. if it achieves justice. g re nfell truth. if it achieves justice. grenfell united said this morning, it is part of the long road to truth and justice, and it will only, only if it gets to be truth and only if it serves to rebuild the trust of the community, between the community about for years that they were not listened to, for years they were marginalised and neglected, and often felt u nwa nted marginalised and neglected, and often felt unwanted in kensington, and if it enables that trust to be rebuilt between them and those in authority, both locally and nationally, then it will have achieved something. that hope is at achieved something. that hope is at a lowerab, and it has achieved something. that hope is at a lower ab, and it has been for months. everyday of this inquiry, my hope and prayer is that that trust and confidence will be rebuilt. as there has been so much anger in the community. do you sense that the community. do you sense that the community almost one—year on is beginning to heal? let's remember, in the days immediately after the fire, you and i met, and you and i will know that yes there was anger, there was shock and grief, but there

was also stunning compassion, people work giving up time and energy and supplies and resources to stand with that community, shoulder to shoulder, and what we saw in those early days is something that we need to keep remembering. that london at its best, kensington at its best, is candid and when it comes together when it comes together and stand together. that is a slow process. but it is a vital one. very good to talk to you. thank you very much for coming in. thank you for your time. as the inquiry begins to look at the causes of the fire, attention will turn to the recent refurbishment of grenfell tower — and in particular the addition of exterior cladding and insulation. an investigation for tonight's panorama programme has found that the firm which supplied the insulation, celotex, may have misled the contractors doing the refurbishment about its suitability for use in high rise buildings. richard bilton reports. move back at! it started as a

kitchen fire. oh, my god. but g re nfell kitchen fire. oh, my god. but grenfell burned out of control because the building was wrapped in the flammable material. these are the flammable material. these are the two products that covered g re nfell the two products that covered grenfell that night. adding with installation behind it. look at what happens when there is a flame. the cladding court, melts and lights the in solution —— the installation. these two were never tested together. the manufacturers knew that they were being combined on grenfell, but did not want anyone on the project. fires spread up g re nfell the project. fires spread up grenfell in 15 minutes from the second floor to the 22nd tier, and thatis second floor to the 22nd tier, and that is very, very fast. because you had so much combustible material,

that will be the equivalent to having four large petal can't —— petrol tankers or burning at the same time on grenfell tower. this is the type of installation that was on grenfell. it burns this quickly. that smoke is poisonous. the manufacturer, celotex, knowingly misled buyers about this product. manufacturer, celotex, knowingly misled buye neverjt this product. manufacturer, celotex, knowingly misled buye never been. product. manufacturer, celotex, knowingly misled buye never been tested :t. manufacturer, celotex, knowingly misled buye never been tested for grenfell has never been tested for tower blocks. panorama understands the products that passed the safety test contained extra fire retardant. we think a more flammable version was then sold for public use. well, words fail me. this is absolutely mind blowing. this material is all over the place. the installation that burned out of control on

g re nfell that burned out of control on grenfell should never have been there. but celotex targeted the g re nfell there. but celotex targeted the grenfell refurb and specifically offered their untested installation. we have been advised that the company's we have been advised that the compa ny‘s behaviour could amount we have been advised that the company's behaviour could amount to corporate manslaughter. celotex say they cannot comment, because they are cooperating with the police investigation and the public inquiry. but they haven't denied panorama's allegations. and you can see the panorama programme, grenfell — who is to blame?at 8 o'clock this evening on bbc1. this is bbc news at 5.00pm. the headlines: tributes to the 72 people who died at grenfell tower as the public inquiry into the fire begins. timetable changes bring disruption on the railways with delays and cancellations affecting many routes in england. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, the british womanjailed in iran, faces a new charge of spreading propaganda in the country. and in sport, joss butler says his

ago, by the iranian authorities, appeared in court over the weekend, and is reported to have been told she'd face new charges and could expect to be convicted. her husband richard ratcliffe insists she is innocent. paul adams is here. this has been such a distressing case for her and her husband, and a new charge, it seems, which is really bad news that the family. new charge, it seems, which is really bad news that the familym is distressing and confusing, because it is not entirely clear how new these charges are. when she was initially jailed, into new these charges are. when she was initiallyjailed, into tears and i6, the charge was secret membership of an organisation planning to bring down the iranians state. last 0ctober, she faced what seemed at the time to be a new case, also involving be spreading of propaganda. a 200 page file that was presented, then. that was roughly at the time when borisjohnson made his u nfortu nate the time when borisjohnson made his unfortunate intervention suggesting to mps that she might have been involved in some way with politics

ina run. involved in some way with politics in a run. -- in iran. involved in some way with politics in a run. —— in iran. then he got very intimately involved in winter radwanska over christmas. very intimately involved in winter radwa nska over christmas. the very intimately involved in winter radwanska over christmas. the case seemed to just fizzle out. now it seems as though it is back. when i spoke to her husband, richard, earlier, he said he can't be certain that this case from last october seems to have come back. with a judge saying that nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe can be expected to be convicted and sentenced. he did give her anotherjudy to speak in the course of her hearing on saturday. she said at the time, i have never been involved in overthrowing the regime, and i do think that the government here needs to reform, but i have never been involved in any attempt to change the regime. and she appealed a clemency on two grounds, one, that you would love to attend her daughter's fourth birthday which falls on june 11, and daughter's fourth birthday which falls onjune ii, and secondly, as she said, this year i am turning 40, imight she said, this year i am turning 40, i might only have a slim chance to

continue developing a family, and thatis continue developing a family, and that is something clearly that richard and how would dearly love to be up to do. there was one positive development over the weekend. jihad is an diplomatic contact. this is something that she and the family andindeed something that she and the family and indeed the british government have been pushing forward. —— she had a diplomatic contact. she was able to make a phone call to the british ambassador. he didn't have anything very useful to say to have. he expend had that efforts were under way to do as much as possible top, to get her out. but he wasn't really in a position... the foreign 0ffice really in a position... the foreign office says he it is urgently seeking information about these latest charges, and borisjohnson who is on a trip to south america at the moment has said that i can tell you absolutely sincerely that there is not a day that goes by when you're not working with the foreign 0ffice you're not working with the foreign office on every single case, of the incredibly sad consular cases, particularly difficult cases we have

in iran. not just particularly difficult cases we have in iran. notjust nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, but a handful of others, some of whom who have been arrested and detained in the last two months alone. thank you very much. paul adams. rail passengers have been facing more disruption today with new timetables being introduced in many parts of england. rail operators say that during this morning's rush hour, around one in ten trains was cancelled, with some companies blaming a shortage of properly trained drivers. the body which represents train operators — the rail delivery group — has apologised, but says the changes are part of a £50 billion investment plan to bring long term improvements. 0ur transport correspondent victoria fritz is at london bridge station. victoria. hi, yes it is supposed to bring us more seats, this big plan, but instead, i think that passengers might wish to opt for a lie down

after being the guinea pigs in the first test of this new timetable. these new timetables that have been rolled out right across the country. there have been reports of delays, widespread cancellations, right across the network. here in london bridge, this is worse two of the big operators, southern and thameslink, they are part of the govia thameslink franchise, and they represent one in four of all rail journeys in the uk. it took about the gatwick express and great northern, as well. there were lots of problems, here. we are expecting 400 extra trains, today —— a day. it isa 400 extra trains, today —— a day. it is a boasted use capacity, but lots of people as that rather faster, more frequent trains, this morning there were still problems with overcapacity, and they were saying that there were far fewer direct services in and out of london, and they would not be the anyone's. some massive problems across the north pa rt massive problems across the north part of england, as well. we heard

that about 250 miles away over in bolton, it was taking them three hours to travel 20 miles. to get to magister airport. and we are talking about manchester, the mayor of greater magister, andy burnham said that the situation is appalling. how are the passengers being this evening? i am afraid some of them are feeling a bit raw. but some of them are bit happier. but for those people who have lost out, we build our lives around these others, they don't like it. what the rail delivery group are saying is that we turning over 100,000 services obviously is a huge operational challenge, so no wonder there are some problems. yes, we have seen about half of britain's trains having new times. a fifth of britain's passengers have seen their train times change. it is a massive revolution, and it won't work on day one. but passengers just revolution, and it won't work on day one. but passengersjust want revolution, and it won't work on day one. but passengers just want to get back to relying on the timetable. what the bread delivery group are

saying, is that what people will benefit from his frequent and faster services. dubai that? that this is the right thing to do long—term? yes, it is all about investment. we have got new trains, new services, and while some people might not go all the way from cambridge to brighton, it reduces a lot of new journeys and services in the middle. new services between manchester and leeds, new services to magister airport. in the long term, it will bring more passengers to the railway, but if you have lost it, you would see the big picture, you'll see say that this will matter live up. could they have done more to the pain do think? it is frustrating that we have known about this for years, we have known about the detail for months, and here we are. they're not enough drivers who are. they're not enough drivers who are trained on the right trains and on the right routes to make it happen. once they are in place, this will work for the majority of passengers. thank you very succumbing in. the chief executive

of transport focus, campaigning on behalf of passengers. the speaker of the house of commons has given his response following reports he called the leader of the commons andrea leadsom a "stupid woman". john bercow said the comments were in response to the government's decision to schedule a statement about the east coast main line on the same day as a labour debate on grenfell tower. he accused the government of being disrespectful to the commons and to the mps who wanted to take part in the debate. it was in that context, and that context alone that, having expressed my displeasure about the matter quite. lee from the chair, i used the word, "stupid" in a muttered aside. that adjective simply summed up aside. that adjective simply summed up howi aside. that adjective simply summed up how i felt about the way that that stables business had been conducted. anyone —— that day's

business. anyone who knows the leader of the house at all well will have not the slightest doubt about her political ability and personal character. the duke and duchess of sussex have released three official photographs ta ken on their wedding day. the couple are said to be delighted with the official photographs taken by alexi lubomirski. we can speak to our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. you have had a busy weekend. yes. clu cas you have had a busy weekend. yes. clucas through these lovely photographs. if there were not enough that a bus. these are the three official wedding photographs. three pictures released by kensington palace. which one are we going to look at grigg there we go. i think we are seeing the big group photograph festival. then sort of centrestage, really, with their

immediate family and the ten bridesmaids and page boys. and, that is quite a challenge for any wedding photographer, ten little people, but the couple in the middle, there are, and of course, doria ragland and meghan's mother, on her side, the only member of her family who was there. it is the members of harry's family. the queen, the duke of edinburgh, there, who is appearing to show no ill effects after the hip operation. so all of the generations as mac indeed. george there with a bit of a grin to the right of the pitch as we look at it. this is the third of the photographs. we seem to have skipped the second one, but this is the romantic one. the black and white study at an east terrace of windsor castle. in a statement, they have thanked everybody who has took part, and they are so happy to have shed the day with similar google. that is the couple, a more relaxed picture with the brides

maids and page boys, and a few look to the right of meghan's head, there is prince george with a huge grin hooks a great cheesy grin! and is down towards the left, as we look at it is princess charlotte, with one of the case. what were your reflections on the day? it was an amazing weather, amazing spectacle. it was notable that several things. the intensity of feeling between the couple. that just shone the intensity of feeling between the couple. thatjust shone throughout, and of course, it was notable because it was breaking new ground toa because it was breaking new ground to a point in comparison to previous royal weddings, just in terms of the diversity, the inclusivity of it, the preacher, a memorable salmon, nobody will forget that salmon in a hurry, certainly not the members of the royal family and the congregation. i think it was at 40

minutes. normally, sermons, they like them to be pretty crisp at eight minutes, but he felt 14. —— 14 minutes. it was a serious message, and clearly the racks and to that and clearly the racks and to that and in this country has clearly been very positive. internationally, too. the best part is where the weather and the sides of the crowds. those shot and pictures of the crowd in windsor, and the long walk in windsor. were pretty extraordinary. and a staggering tv audience, as well. 0r watching you, and a staggering tv audience, as well. orwatching you, mostly and a staggering tv audience, as well. 0r watching you, mostly on the bbc. our royal correspondence, thank you very much. just to say that in 15 minutes' time we will be asking the royal photographer to cast his eye over the pictures and tell him what cannot —— tell us what he thinks of them. in the meantime, let's get somebody to cast an eye over the weather forecast. decent shape for most of us, some

spring sunshine, but not the whole story. there has been some rain across scotland and northern ireland. you can see this type of rain and the recent radar picture, and then, down towards the south, scattering of showers and thunderstorms that have broken out in the afternoon. the showers are quite hit and miss, continue to drift westwards at during the first pa rt drift westwards at during the first part of the evening. overnight, most bases will turn dry. including much of northern ireland and scotland, this area of rain will tend to fizzle away as the night goes on. temperatures not dipping too far. seven, eight, maybe 12 degrees in cases. quite a lot of cloud again, for scotland and northern ireland, but not very as much rain as the day. a bit murky for some north sea coast. again, perhaps the chance for the odd thunderstorm bricking it in the odd thunderstorm bricking it in the afternoon. it is of 23 degrees, a lot of bright weather continues through wednesday and thursday, but the increasing chance of some

widespread showers across parts of the south. that is all for now. this is bbc news — the headlines: the public inquiry into the grenfell tower fire has opened with tributes to the 72 people who died. the inquiry chair called it the worst tragedy to hit london since world war two. rail timetable changes have caused problems for some commuters — disruption and cancellations have hit many routes in england. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe — the british womanjailed in iran — has been warned to expect to be convicted of a fresh charge of spreading propaganda in the country. people in hawaii are facing fresh danger as volcanic lava flows into the sea — experts have warned of toxic fumes as eruptions continue. now the latest sport with ben rich

on the weather, i'm ben brown and now ben with the sport! and, we start with cricket. jos buttler says his selection for england's test series against pakistan shows the national selectors are being open minded. the wicketkeeper/batsman is a key pa rt of their limited overs set—up — but hasn't played a test for his country since december 2016. he's cut short his stint in the indian premier league to return home. and says his inclusion for the test at lord's on friday is a ‘fantastic surprise'. he's also been responding today, to those who said he hasn't played enough in the longer form of the game... it shows that people are very open minded. there is not necessarily only one way into national selection andi only one way into national selection and i think if anything that should benefit guys, because you know you can do it your way or whatever opportunities are afforded to you, you shouldn't be worried about taking them for risk of saying if i go and play in a tournament

somewhere that's my red ball ambitions finished. to rugby union, and eddiejones says he wishes his england defence coach all the best. it's as paul gustard is confirmed as the new head of rugby at premiership side harlequins. he'lljoin the london club after england's tour to south africa next month. gustard, who's worked with eddiejones since 2016, will be released from his contract with the rfu after quins agreed to pay compensation. his departure means england will be without a permanent defence and attack coach with the world cup injapan just 15 months away. liverpool managerjurgen klopp is urging his team to be brave against real madrid, ahead of this weekend's champions league final. he believes their "desire, attitude and work—rate" can help them beat the 12—time european champions. klopp oversaw an open training session ahead of saturday's final in ukraine earlier. having just got back from a week long training camp in spain, klopp believes his team has already shown the characteristics this season needed to lift the trophy in kiev. we will try in a very positive way everything to bring the boys to show

the boys why it makes so much sense to be really brave in that game. that what is we did in all the other games. it was not easy to be brave against manchester city. it was not easy to be brave against rome. in both here and there. and the boys did it. west brom's newly—appointed manager darren moore says he hopes to inspire all managers and notjust those from black, asian and minority ethnic backgrounds. despite relegation from the premier league, moore impressed in caretaker charge at the end of the campaign and was given the job on a permanent basis. he's one of only three black managers in the 92 football league teams. iama i am a role model, because i will probably leave it out for for you to look at. the one thing i will say is by me sitting in the position i've got is that it's an inspiration to all young british coaches right

across me sitting up here and hopefully the role today inspires them right the way from grass roots football into the professional game. if it does do that to individuals then i'm extremely proud, yes. there have been two more withdrawals from the scotland squad for their upcoming friendlies against mexico and peru. celtic‘s stuart armstrong and hearts defenderjohn souttar take the total withdrawals to six. new boss alex mcleish will take just 21 players to the matches next week. meanwhile, 2010 world cup winner cesc fabregas is amongst four high profile premier league names to miss out on spain's squad for this summer's world cup. the midifelder isn't the only chelsea player to miss out on a trip to russia next month. his team—mates alvaro morata and defender marcos alonso have also been left out of the squad. there's also no place for arsenal's hector bellerin. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. we'll have more for you in sportsday at half past six. let's return now to

the inquiry into the grenfell tower fire last june, as its first public hearings get underway. it began this morning with a 72—second silence — to honour the 72 victims of the blaze. it marked the opening of two weeks of poignant and emotional tributes to those who died, from family and friends. proceedings began with a tribute to baby logan gomes, who was stillborn after his parents marcio and andreia gomes managed to escape from the 21st floor. logan was delivered while his mother lay unconscious in an induced coma. his father marcio gomes paid tribute to his wife. you never know... what you are made of until you're broken. and i can tell you this —

my wife she's made of the hardest material i know. and without her strength and courage i would not be here. i might be doing the talking, but she's the one that's always rock—solid. and we love our son. we always will do. it is just so sad that my beloved husband will not be us at farhad's wedding and won't be

there to see or hold his grandchildren, or share the joy of becoming a grandparent. those hopes and our dreams have been chattered. —— shattered. the chance to enjoy such special moments as a close, loving family have been taken away from him and there is a heavy sense of loss within our hearts which will never, ever go away. he had always been there for all of us. he never complained. and he always did everything with a smile. he was my husband. he was my best friend. i miss him so much. he will always be the love of my life. we moved into grenfell tower around 1993.

my aunt lived at the address until that fateful night when our lives were changed forever. my aunt was my hero. she has been in my life for every major event. she was my mum, as well as my aunt. for the first time in my life, my aunt is not a phone call away. she's not there to listen to my complaints, or my gossip. my aunt made me a priority in her life. she was the best aunt and sister we would have asked for. she was warm and kind. she welcomed everyone into her home. grenfell tower was a place all her family and friends could find shelter if they ever needed it. mary was a carer who worked within her community. she was a humanitarian who made it a passion

to help those less fortunate than herself. statements from some of the bereaved there. emma dent coad is the labour mp for kensington, and has the grenfell tower in her constituency. shejoins me now from our westminster studio. heart—breaking statements there today. was this the right way to begin the inquiry? showing that the victims and their their families at a the heart of inquiry? yes, people have said the process of being re—housed and so on has been dehumanising. so this is starting in the right place to show they were like everybody else with their heartbreak and love they have had forfamilies. heartbreak and love they have had for families. you have been critical in the past of the inquiry chair, you said how anyone like that could

have empathy with what these people have empathy with what these people have been through, i don't understand. do you still believe that? well, this is a very good start to the inquiry with these pen portraits, incredibly moving. we have now got two panel members coming, albeit only for the second pa rt coming, albeit only for the second part of inquiry, that was theresa may's decision not his. it would have been better if we had had them earlier and had three or four. have been better if we had had them earlier and had three orfour. i hope that decision is still open to discussion as we go along. it is looking better. and i'm more hopeful that it looking better. and i'm more hopeful thatitis looking better. and i'm more hopeful that it is going to be treated in a human way as well as getting to the bare facts of what's happened. sum up bare facts of what's happened. sum up what you want from this inquiry. it will be many months and take a long time and be very complex and detailed, what are your hopes for this inquiry? it is finding out the

train of events of how this happened. the how and what at the moment. and the accountability of the process. who signed off what, who agreed what and how that could have happened. i think it is these technical things we need to understand. the criminal investigation will take care of the rest. of course, it is almost a year on, is the community healing, or thatis on, is the community healing, or that is anger still there? on, is the community healing, or that is anger still there ?|j on, is the community healing, or that is anger still there? i think some people are a bit calmer about it, but there is still a lot of angen it, but there is still a lot of anger. especially among people who haven't been re—housedment. . the anniversary will be very difficult for a lot of people. because it will bring it all back and a lot of people are going to be retraumatised i think by that day and maybe that isa i think by that day and maybe that is a positive thing as we can all

cry together. thank you for being with us. if you want to find out more about the grenfell tower inquiry, eddie mair is presenting a podcast every day the inquiry sits — which looks in detail at what's been said and heard each day. you can download it from the bbc iplayer radio app, itunes or your podcast provider. tomorrow marks one year since 22 people were killed by a suicide bomber, at an ariana grande concert at manchester arena. eight—year—old saffie roussos was the youngest victim of the attack. as the anniversary of her death approaches, her father has told the bbc that he wants her life to be remembered with a special concert. judith moritz has been hearing from saffie's father andrew roussos — as well as others affected by the tragedy — about how they are coping one year on. losing your eight—year—old child is changed life forever.

it will never be ok again. at night, i couldn't sleep — like crowds, loud noises, just hated. this experience has brought us all together. it's the psychological part that's been the hardest, i think. devastation caused in seconds has changed lives forever. children traumatised. survivors recovering. families broken. like that of little saffie roussos, the youngest child to die. her parents are still reeling. how has this year been? dreadful. you know, having a child that young and losing her in such a way, it will never be ok. it is not something that time passes and you can pick up the pieces and move on. you start forgetting bits and i dread that — i dread not feeling saffie's touch, not feeling saffie's presence.

i want to celebrate me daughter. she loved music. andrew wants the music industry to help him stage a benefit concert at old trafford, because there's no specific state—funding for terror victims. this concert‘s not for us. i want to be there to support victims of future attacks. we're all really shocked on the lack of support from our government. so there's no government support? nothing. your turning to charity? yes. when it happened, it wasjust a really scary experience. 11—year—old ava wasn't directly caught in the blast, but still struggled emotionally afterwards. she is one of hundreds of traumatised children to be supported by the warrington peace centre. we have been talking about different coping techniques. it's like all these good experiences coming here. it's helped a lot?

yeah. ava and her mum have also found solace in music. the manchester survivors' choir is giving them strength — everyone singing here survived the bomb. singing together with other people who understand what you're going through, it's a positive message, instead of seeing the negative in the world. it's not just about the choir — the people here know how it felt. so that makes a big difference. the choir have agreed to perform in the city centre for tomorrow's anniversary — although they know that will be difficult. that is a common theme, we're struggling to go into crowds and busy places. with each other, hopefully we'll all do it and that would be just remarkable. 12 months on, the memories are fresh, the pain still raw. but manchester is healing.

judith moritz bbc news. this is bbc news at five — the headlines: tributes to the 72 people who died at grenfell tower — as the public inquiry into the fire begins. timetable changes bring disruption on the railways with delays and cancellations affecting many routes in england. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe — the british womanjailed in iran — faces a new charge of spreading propaganda in the country. residents in hawaii dealing with a major volcanic eruption are facing a new hazard, as lava pouring into the pacific has created toxic clouds, containing hydrochloric acid and particles of glass. the lava from mount kilua has also blocked part of a coastal road,

cutting off a key escape route for residents. from hawaii, chris buckler reports. lava has taken over land. more than 20 feet high, this lump of molten rock has blocked roads and destroyed all in its way as it's created its own fiery path through hawaii's big island. basically it's a wall of lava that just kind of marched towards the sea. this wasn't here 12 hours ago. the plumes of steam caused by lava hitting sea water can badly affect air quality. and toxic gases are released with the explosive fountains of lava that have sprung up from the many cracks caused by the kilauea volcano. it's only from the air you can really see how far these fissures stretch, and in some cases they are merging together. eating away at the scorched surface turning what was green, black.

and although this is one small corner of an island, it is a place where people live. you can hear the fissures, you can hear the explosions all night and all day. lately we've had about 100 earthquakes a day. the biggest one we had so far was 6.9. the leilani estates is at the centre of the evacuation zone. even to get into this area, we had to travel in a convoy with members of hawaii's national guard. roadblocks are policed 24 hours a day, trying to ensure people don't put themselves at risk by going to see the lava. it's already destroyed around two dozen houses, leaving some families homeless and having to rely on help from friends and strangers. i have a little ptsd. i don't think i want to stay this close to the volcano. hilo area, you know, it's home, it's a community,

i don't mind staying there, but not this close, no. however, some living close to where the lava is continuing to jet out at a ferocious rate haven't left their homes. kilauea has long been their neighbour, a volcano that erupted to create this land. and with each fresh explosion, it threatens to destroy it. some breaking news, ken livingstone has announced he is resigning from the labour party, saying the issues around his suspension for alleged anti—semitism has become a distraction. jeremy corbyn has said that his resignation is sad after such a long and vital contribution to london and progressive politics, but it was the right thing to do.

let's go to our chief political correspondent vicki young. yes that isain correspondent vicki young. yes that is a in sift in position from jeremy corbyn. incredibly close allies live and him. —— ken livingstone and him. but the party and jeremy corbyn have been dogged by these allegations of anti—semitism within the party. ken livingstone had been suspended over comments that he made previously actually to bbc london. it was an interview and he talked about hitler's one time support for zionism. so he was suspended. but he was facing a further investigation and it seems to be that that has prompted him to say that he is actually going to resign from the labour party. now, in some ways, jeremy corbyn as you said, saying this is sad after such a long and vital contribution to london and progressive politics, but was the right thing to do. i think in some ways it does help the labour leader,

because there had been calls for ken livingstone to be expelled from the party, because of the things that he had said, notjust once, but repeatedly, causing offence to the jewish community and we saw in recent local elections, particularly in london, how that seemed to affect labour's vote, with many in the jewish community not turning out to support the labour party. so there has been constant pressure on ken livingstone. he has now decided that he will resign. in comment naas he has made —— comments that he has made to bbc london, he said he thought that right—wing elements would raise the case at the party's national executive and his lawyers said if he was expelled it would be yea rs before said if he was expelled it would be years before any legal challenge was resolved. just eight days ago, theattorney general had called for

ken livingstone's expulsion a sign that some in the party had turned against him and felt it was better if he resigned his membership. thank you. i think we can have a quick listen to ken livingstone, who has been making remarks to bbc listened. i've decided that rather than this drag on for two years, it is better if can! drag on for two years, it is better if can i resign. can i go back to campaigning on things like the environment. but if i was to stay and fight, my lawyers say it could ta ke two and fight, my lawyers say it could take two years more. that was ken livingstone announcing he was resigning from the labour party. jeremy corbyn saying it is the right thing to do. much more on that throughout the evening on bbc news. let's get more on the release of the three official photographs

of the duke and duchess of sussex's wedding day. the couple are said to be delighted with the official photographs taken by alexi lubomirski. joining me now is the the award—winning royal photographer, ian pelham turner. he didn't take those pictures, but he is an award—winning royal photographer. your name easier to pronounce than his. yes, i'm glad you said it and not me. there is one, with all the generations. talk us through that photograph. you see the reality, this photographer has done two good things. he has kept all the children smiling. that is a royal essential. two w the close up shots of meghan he has got her preferred side. you can't get any better than that. i think a photograph like this it shows all the different ages, it has natural smiles to it. charlotte's looking a

little pensive. but in the second shot that was there as well she is smiling. pictures like that are hard to do. meghan's mother at the heart of it. yes, it is always very hard to keep the concentration of the royal family going. different photographers have used different things. one used a whistle, and another used a trumpet to catch their attention. but they have done something and he has created this marvellous shot. let's look at the other official posed photograph there and the younger generation. yes you can see a cheeky charlotte and a george who has been practicing his smile by the looks of it. but they're all very happy. they're all leaning into camera. they all can see it is probably william behind the scenes making them laugh. he is one of the characters who makes all the children laugh. so a photograph

like that is fabulous. the very informal, the black and white of the happy couple. that is lovely. the light was so wonderful that weekend. it is perfect for it. every good photographer asks the lady in question what is her preferred side. i suspect that is her preferred side. you can see it is a natural smile, not a forced smile. they obviously were really happy. the photographer made them very happy as well. what is the pressure, for any wedding photograph tler must be a lot of pressure. you can't muck it up. to be the royal wedding photographer must be pressurised. yes normally it is weeks of preparation and they will know what the different light settings are. this is the photographer in question. my goodness what a pedigree he has got. from what i can read his father came from

polish/french descent and his mother from but rooufian. peruvian. he has learn ed photography in botswana. he has done a greatjob. the type of stress that photographers going under is preparation. because they would prepare in case it was raining. and there is a whole different background and you pray for sort of light like that that they can physically use that can give you the sort of extra shots. because a lot of the time it is the actual sort of informal shots like that that people remember. we saw so many wonderful shots over the weekend in the papers, page and pages of them. but this is just a bit different. because it is the official shot. it is the official shot. you know, everybody appears to be sort of at least concentrating. that is what the photographer wants. there are some people like frinse

philip who —— prince philips ill who prince philip who doesn't like being kept waiting. thank you. it's the highlight of the horticultural calendar, showcasing some of the most creative garden designs from around the world. well ahead of opening its well—manicu red lawns to the public, today is press day at the chelsea flower show. and the queen has just arrived with other members of the royal family to look at the gardens. clearly enjoying a peaceful hour or two after a busy weekend. time for a look at the weather with ben rich. it sort of can continue. many of us had sunshine. but that has not been

the whole sorry with some rain in western scotland and northern ireland and you can see the lightning down here. we have had some really heavy showers and thunder storms. they can't to drift west. but they willed fade. over night most spots will turn dry. even in northern ireland and north—west scotland. we will keep a lot of cloud in the north. clearer in the south and temperatures not dropping to far. around eight to 12 degrees. tomorrow a lot of cloud in scotland and northern ireland. but not as much rain as today. misty and murky for some north sea coasts and a keen easterly breeze. to the south some sunshine and some showers and thunder storms in the afternoon. highs of 23 degrees. by the end of the week some dry weather and sunshine, but more widespread showers in the south. we felt like. new fresh questions

raised about the suitability of the installation move the accused. the youngest victim of the manchester arena bombing which
