5:45 am
on to the business insider now — and the number of people using facebook for news is down, especially among younger members, who are increasingly turning to facebook—owned whatsapp instead. staying with social media, the times lead story now it reports claims in the uk that web giants are fuelling mental health problems among children. and we'll end with a look at the front page of the financial times, looking at one of the uk's biggest data hacks — it says six million customers of electrical retailer dixons carphone were exposed. that was a breach that has attracted the attention of spy agencies. that story broke yesterday morning. that is being dealt with in the papers today. back with me is iain anderson, founder of the international communications agency, cicero group. let us get stuck in. anniversaries are always extremely difficult. todayis are always extremely difficult. today is going to be a tough day for many. yes. 50 the independent leading on the plight, i think that is the only way to describe it, sally, of lots of folks who lived in g re nfell tower sally, of lots of folks who lived in
5:46 am
grenfell tower who are still looking for somewhere to live. i used to live in that part of london, not far from the tower itself. so i know that part of london incredibly well. i will never forget what it was like 12 months ago. it was a literally blue sky day in london, yet it was filled with tragedy. —— it was a beautifully. the local council has come in for a lot of criticism about its immediate handling or lack of handling of what happened in the towel. they brought up about 300 properties, it looks like around 200 of those properties, which were bought in good faith to rehouse those people, have not been moved into —— tower. people are saying we don't want to live in a basement, separate floors up. can you imagine if you had lived in that tower and
5:47 am
been through that horror, which you wa nt to been through that horror, which you want to live in a high—rise building ain? want to live in a high—rise building again? i don't think i would want to live in a high—rise building again. the criticism here, this is a report done by the kensington law centre that has been acting by some of the victims and doing their legal work, they are basically saying that the properties are not suitable and the council has rushed in. it is sad to be doing this 12 months on, not least with what everyone has been dealing with in grenfell. it is a really, really difficult situation. the council was under a lot of criticism, and still is a many levels. i am a bit vividly, i drove into work and we drive on the road where the towel was. it was about three a.m.. —— towerfor sub
5:48 am
where the towel was. it was about three a.m.. —— tower for sub they we re three a.m.. —— tower for sub they were seen to the driver, who was a friend of mine, i said they will all be out of the building, they will be safe, this is london, this is 2017, this is... nobody will be in there. that was my logical thought process. think that is the point. for those who want to, and i think people should, if they have a moment. the iplayer does have the ability to watch a panorama programme that was on about grenfell. and this is the worst civilian fire in terms of casualties that we have seen in the united kingdom since the second world war. when the uk was in a different situation. grenfell has become totemic. i think that is why we have seen the remembrance overnight in london. i think it is quite rightly takes place. i do think the council needs to think
5:49 am
again about how it is going to work with the grenfell survivors. an independent enquiry is ongoing. it has been really harrowing and extremely moving to hear some of the story showed in the enquiry. an ongoing process. so many questions still. let us hope they are properly a nswered still. let us hope they are properly answered for those who were affected, who survived. notjust those in the tower, but those who live in the community. it affected so live in the community. it affected so many. people just live in the community. it affected so many. peoplejust want live in the community. it affected so many. people just want to feel safe and secure. i think everybody, thinking about grenfell tower today, which is that for every body involved. let us move on. looking at the new york times, it talks about a combined bid from the us, mexico, and canada, earning the hosting rights for soccer‘s 2020 six world cup. i thought the irony. president trump is trying to rip up the nafta agreement as we speak. the north
5:50 am
american free trade agreement between these very countries and then we have the wall, of course. i did think for a minute it was going to be the united states, canada, and north korea, perhaps. given the fact that president trump is probably friendlier with the north korean leader than he is with his canadian counterpart. this is enormous. this is about money again. fifa will have an $11 billion profit from this. maybe they will have two renamed it the soccer world cup. b matches will happen in the us. there will be some in canada and mexico. it will be divvied up. in canada and mexico. it will be diwied up. it will be quite a different world cup. there will be 48 teams over the three countries, as opposed to the 32 in the format we currently have. most matters are going to be in the states. i wonder
5:51 am
whether or not president trump of course he won't be president by then, will be opening some trump hotels in some of these areas. then, will be opening some trump hotels in some of these areaslj then, will be opening some trump hotels in some of these areas. i am sure it is on his mind. we have the business insider and the times. two stories that are different. the one affects the other. facebook is used less for news now as young people move to what's up. this was done by the reuters institute for the study of journalism. the reuters institute for the study ofjournalism. i'm not surprised given what happened during the election in the united states and the fallout since. we still don't know if there was russian interference, etc, etc. i have a where's the beef issue going on with this story. they're talking about a 10% drop in facebook use for all users, and 20% drop for young people. it is indicating they are starting to use whatsapp for a more
5:52 am
personalised conversation. what does that mean? you are basically sharing with friends what you think about news 01’ are you with friends what you think about news or are you getting the news from these sources? of course, whatsapp is owned by facebook in any case. or you are not seem -- seeing facebook as credible news will stop what is new is? their 22 the bbc, cnn. some of the traditional news providers have the opportunity to push back that they are pointing to the bbc, cnn. the times, others have this on the front page. web giants are fuelling child mental health crisis. this is a warning from the chief executive of the nhs. this is something i am not surprised to hear at all. it is on the front pages for good reason. an important issue. i am thinking why have they onlyjust realised that? he doesn'tjust say
5:53 am
stuff. i think he's a responsible leaderfor the nhs. stuff. i think he's a responsible leader for the nhs. the stuff. i think he's a responsible leaderfor the nhs. the numbers in here are quite startling. 0ne leaderfor the nhs. the numbers in here are quite startling. one in ten children between five and 16 have a clinically diagnosable mental illness. that is an extraordinary number. but we know about addiction, whether you are young or old we know about addiction with smartphones. we know increasingly about how the apps are designed in the smartphones are designed to read. it isn't people's feeling of self—worth. designed to read. it isn't people's feeling of self-worth. lots of issues. exacerbated by social media and the use of the internet, et cetera. almost running out of time. a quick word on dixons carphone. 0ne of my colleagues said that it is that happen post— gdpr they would have been looking at a massive fine. they would have been. this 6 million
5:54 am
marinkovic hard—pack they would have been. this 6 million marinkovic ha rd—pack has they would have been. this 6 million marinkovic hard—pack has taken place pretty much before gdpr that my credit card hack. —— credit card hack. let us see what the commission wa nts to hack. let us see what the commission wants to do about this. we are watching this space. it has been great to have you on the briefing. most of you believe brazil or germany will win the world cup. that isa germany will win the world cup. that is a shocker. i will see you soon. hello once again. i know it's the second week injune, but i have to start this particular show by reminding you we've got a named storm on our hands, and there's an amber warning from the met office for gusts of wind on thursday morning which could, in extremis, get up to around 60mph if not 70mph. where's all that coming from?
5:55 am
this great lump of cloud hurtling towards us and deepening all the while and as it does so, quite a vigorous area of low pressure for the time of year. it's just got into the wrong place in the atmosphere and it's been deepening all the while in recent hours. such that as we get on through the day, we will find a real squeeze in those isobars initially working its way initially through northern ireland, but then on through exposed parts of scotland and through the north of england as well. but, with all the cloud and the wind around, it won't be a cold start to the new day on thursday, but it will certainly be a wet one for some and certainly a very windy one as well. i'll show you now the strength of the gusts, and there you are, in the central belt of scotland, some of those gusts could be up at around 60mph, as i say, if not 70mph. gales and severe gales quite widely across northern britain. travel disruption is distinctly possible, bbc local radio will be all over that, i assure you. even further south, it will be a noticeably windy day after a fairly quiet spell of weather. even here, as the weather front tumbles its way ever further
5:56 am
towards the south and east, we'll find a little bit of rain. there's no doubt about it the bulk of rain will be found in scotland but i think rain becomes less and less of a problem and slowly, slowly, oh so slowly, especially in the northern half of britain, does the strength of the wind. with the sun coming out in the afternoon for many of us, we'll push the temperatures into the low 20s at the very best. friday thankfully a quieter day across the british isles, but notice the prospect of rain in the northern ireland and the possibility of downpours in dumfries and galloway, towards ayrshire and the western end of the central belt. what news of the weekend? none too promising to start with. look at this, another little bit of area of low pressure bringing cloud, wind and rain towards particularly initially the western side of the british isles, maybe spreading north and east through time as we get on through saturday. perhaps the best of the sunshine up into the north—eastern corner of scotland. not a complete write—off, i assure you, because sunday looks a drier and finer day as we finish off the weekend. take care. the first anniversary
5:57 am
of the grenfell fire, the 72 people who died are remembered. 0vernight, the tower and other buildings were lit up in green to mark the moment britain's worst domestic fire in eight decades broke out. we will see how people are
