anniversary since the devastating blaze in which 72 people died. on the ground, a silent vigil as people in the shadow of the tower came together remember and mourn. elsewhere, green lights were turned on in solidarity, on other tower blocks, at the cabinet office and at number 10 downing street. the lights were turned on here at 12:5aam, that was the time the first 999 call was made. and the colour green was chosen because in the immediate aftermath of the fire local schoolchildren started using the hash tag #greenforgrenfell on social media. we've had to work very hard in the last few months but over this week we hope we will be given time and space to reflect on what's happened, on our loved ones, on the friends that we've made over the yea, you know, when we came together at the beginning of this terrible, terrible time.

to allow that time for reflection, the grenfell public enquiry has paused and will resume next week. later today, a moment's silence will be observed and 73 white doves released, one for every known victim and one to recognise that there may be those who died in the tower as yet unidentified. ben ando, bbc news. this morning, the names of the victims will be read out and a candle for each victim will be lit at st helen's church in north kensington. a number of events. lighting up the building is the most obvious. there'll be a national minute's silence at midday, observed by the queen and parliament. locally, that will last for 72 seconds, a second for each victim. and tomorrow, schools and community groups across the uk will go "green for grenfell," as they remember the victims and their families. we will be hearing from one of the

residents, a survivor. and also members of the community who got involved in the aftermath. now it is back to naga. thanks, charlie. now for the rest of this morning's news. plans to relax immigration rules to allow more skilled workers from outside the eu into the uk are expected to be confirmed by the home office. foreign doctors and nurses will be excluded from the government's current visa cap, to relieve pressure on the nhs. let's get more from our political correspondent jonathan blake. he's in our westminster newsroom. at first glance, this could sound as if all immigration rules have been relaxed. that is not the case. it relates to the number of professional workers coming to the uk from outside the eu every year. theresa may as home secretary introduced a cap ofjust under 21,000 visas to be allocated to those kinds of workers every year. we have heard from nhs bosses in

particular they have struggled to recruit the numbers of doctors and nurses they need. tens of thousands of posts went unfilled this year. pressure has been put on the prime minister to look at this policy. when sajid javid was appointed home secretary, he wanted to change things. he said a fresh look would be taken at the problem. it looks like doctors and nurses will be exempt from that cap. more of those will be able to be recruited, with a knock—on effect for other professions, like engineers, it specialists, and others. it is a significant shift in the government's immigration policies. we do not know how immigration of role will work after brexit with free movement from eu countries to be uk, to an end, but perhaps it is coming to an end. —— the uk coming to. the cap on tens of thousands

still remains, however. thank you. the american secretary of state, mike pompeo, says the us hopes to see what he calls "major disarmament" by north korea over the next two years. speaking in south korea when meeting the foreign minister, he said he was confident pyongyang understood that any work to remove nuclear weapons from the peninsula would have to be verified. after his summit with kim jong—un, mr trump tweeted that north korea was no longer a nuclear threat. haiti has permanently banned the british arm of oxfam from operating in the country because of sexual misconduct by some of the charity's staff. the haitian government had temporarily suspended oxfam's operations in february, while it investigated allegations. oxfam said it was disappointed but understood the decision. the world cup gets underway today in russia. football's showpiece event features 32 teams competing in 64 games over 32 days. matches will be played out in 12 stadiums, across 11 cities, spread over 1,800 miles. the month long tournament is expected to attract one and a half million fans

to the country and an estimated global television audience of over three billion viewers. our moscow correspondent, sarah rainsford, reports. the party has finally started. this is not how moscow usually sounds. and it's not what it usually looks like either. but for one month, russia has been transformed into the centre of the football world. there's even a kickabout on the cobblestones just metres from red square. with football fans from all over the world now flooding in here, russia is clearly hoping everyone forgets all about politics. the list of grievances with russia is long. there was no boycott. and this is a country on a great charm offensive. so surprising, the friendship,

the smiles, the people smiling. i like the russians. omar‘s just hoping his hero will be fit again. if he will not play the first half, he could in the second half. apparently he did not play the training session. matt but he is mohamed salah. russia hopes for a smooth world cup. there is much more than football at stake here. sarah rainsford, bbc news, moscow. lucy hockings is in moscow. you are a huge football than. that is why you are there. —— fan. there was a lack of atmosphere and excitement when i arrived and we we re excitement when i arrived and we were worried. that has all changed in the last 48 hours. thousands of fa ns in the last 48 hours. thousands of fans from all over the world have arrived and ta ken fans from all over the world have arrived and taken over the city centre. no matter where you go, there are fans with flags draped

around them chanting national songs. even this morning at 5pm there were bars still full of people drinking and having a great time. i even ran ita and having a great time. i even ran it a marry out she banned in red square on the way here at five o'clock in the morningmarry at —— mariachi band. i have to say, we are waiting for the buildup to come here. we are waiting for the first game and excitement to kick off. lots of conversations about the security. people are in a great mood 110w. security. people are in a great mood now. but obviously when the passion becomes inflamed, that is when security issues can come into play. the russian authorities have prepared for this for years. have been of extra security cameras put in place. there are plainclothed

security forces everywhere to be when we were filming the other day, we have someone when we were filming the other day, we have someone come up to us when we were filming the other day, we have someone come up to us in jeans and a t—shirtjust checking accreditation. —— forces. people like that are everywhere. and also the army, the air force, even the navy, they are here to help. the russians have ta ken navy, they are here to help. the russians have taken security very, very seriously. people have been concerned, but there will be no trouble. all eyes are on the stadium this afternoon. kick off is happening later this evening. expectations for a great match, not that high. they are the two lowest ranked teams in the tournament. that doesn't matter. keep dancing to the band music. thank you. the classic brits returned last night after a gap of five years.

and it was the 19—year—old who played the cello at the royal wedding, sheku kenneh—mason, who was one of the big winners. our entertainment correspondent, colin paterson, was at the royal albert hall for the ceremony. last month, sheku kanneh—mason played the cello at the royal wedding. at the brit awards, he got both best male and critic's choice. it is an honour. lovely. surprisingly, he is still a student, and sat exams last week. he has not got his results due to a bungle. and sat exams last week. he has not got his results due to a bunglelj have lost my id card. i want to be a pa rt of have lost my id card. i want to be a part of it... there was also a problem with best group. they only

morning! here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. a very dramatic picture you have there, but quite serious and concerned about some of the storms all winds, hector is playing havoc with us this morning. storm hector is coming across the north of the country. the met office as i warning out for the north and west of northern ireland, yellow for the rest of scotland, northern ireland and northern england. 70 mph with exposure in scotland. not beyond the realms of possibility we could have that in the central lowlands. in the rush hour, that won't be a pretty picture. the recent wind gust espys we have had tell their own story. cairngorm is very high, 100, k rick 61, rossoneri 90, very high, 100, k rick 61, rossoneri go, 55. the wind strengthening, if

you're travelling this morning, bear that in mind. this is storm hector, a deep area of unseasonable low pressure coming in across our shores. with its fronts, bringing rain, more persistent in scotland for a rain, more persistent in scotland fora time, rain, more persistent in scotland for a time, look at the squeeze on those isobars, telling you the strongest winds are in the northern half of the country. this morning we have the rain coming in, showery at the moment but it will turn heavy and more persistent. these are the wind gusts we're expecting at around 7am. in the central lowlands we're looking and 61 mph. visa damaging gusts as well, likely to cause a lot of disruption and delays. across northern england and northern ireland, similar values —— these are. bigger values with height. further south, although it will be windy, not as windy as in the zero with no weather warnings out for further south and the rain won't be as heavy. this system will move through quite quickly but you can see we have the persistent rain

moving across scotland. there are some flood warnings out at the moment. as the rain clears from the south, what you will find is the sun will come out and it will be a bright and breezy day. the wind is continuing to ease down, but still quite windy in the far north of the country, but not as windy as in the next couple of hours. up to 22 in any sunshine. through the evening and overnight, a quiet night, lots of clear spells around with the winds continuing to moderate. showers coming in as well from the west. a cooler night than the one just gone for some, but not all, of course, double figures for many areas as well. as we head on into friday we start on a quiet node where we've had the clear skies by night, starting with the sunshine, and afair night, starting with the sunshine, and a fair bit around first thing but see how the cloud builds through the day. then we start to see more u nsettled the day. then we start to see more

unsettled conditions coming in from the west in the shape of some rain or some sunshine. temperatures again up or some sunshine. temperatures again up to around 22. just a reminder, if you're travelling through this morning, we are looking at gales or severe gales possible in parts of scotland, northern ireland and northern england with travel disruption likely, expect delays, i will keep you up to date on bbc brea kfast will keep you up to date on bbc breakfast but you can also find out what's happening on your local radio station. carol, thanks very much. let's take a look at today's papers. one of the of course we are focusing on this morning is grenfell, one on since that awful fire took place. g re nfell tower since that awful fire took place. grenfell tower in south london. picture on the front page of the guardian is mark inglis, saying that sandra and karim were pounding the streets in desperate loops —— mark

inglis. —— mark king this. take a look at the front page of the daily telegraph... this symbol being seen as people remembering grenfell one year on. a mother and child reading messages of condolences near the site of g re nfell tower. condolences near the site of grenfell tower. charlie is there this morning looking at how many buildings were lit up overnight to mark one year on. the sun, this is the inside page, it has taken a look at the victims‘ stories and it has named the victims one year on. on the inside pages, taking a look at their stories to the best of their ability. we will keep you updated with what‘s happening this morning but ben is here, ben, the front page of the ft caught our eye this morning, didn‘t it? a story behind the story? this is interesting, not often we talk about what the american central bank is doing but yesterday an

important update and they raised interest rates. what‘s happening there is different to what is happening in europe and who will claim the credit? probably president trump. they‘ve suggested that there will be two more rises in the cost of borrowing for the united states, one more than expected. suggesting the economy is doing better than many thought and president trump clearly pointing out its all down to him. the economy is so strong it can withstand interest rate rises. there used to be the correlation between the united states and europe, europe would follow suit about 18 months after, is that potential? no, in one word, the economies are very different right now. things in the us have picked up because of the strength of the dollar, but also in europe we have seen so any problems getting over the worst of the financial crisis because remember, interest rates have been so low for so interest rates have been so low for so long because all the economies around the world have been on life support. america is now saying we

have started to reduce our borrowing, put interest rates back up borrowing, put interest rates back up to more normal levels. we are getting back to normal levels rather than emergency levels, before donald trump points out it is down to him. lucy hockings was in moscow earlier... have you got world cup fever yet? i haven't, i'm hoping it will build after the first game. some businesses are being cautious about the world cup? this is in the sta rc, about the world cup? this is in the starc, from the royal mail, they have banned their staff from showing england fans to support the world cup —— star. they say it‘s because of health and safety. they are worried in vans posties can‘t see out of the window if they have big flags stuck in the window or attached. they're not going to put it on their windscreens! anyone behind the scenes, in a back office, 25,000 staff, will be allowed to put

up 25,000 staff, will be allowed to put up the staff but a spokesperson said flags on vehicles can obscure the view and pose a hazard to other road users. be very careful, that's what that makes me do! let us know if you‘re not allowed to put up a flag at work, it‘s notjust the royal mail! there are others as well, be very careful! thanks very much. frailty is often associated with old age, but new research has highlighted that it can actually be found in men and women in their 30s. researchers say that the earlier it is diagnosed the better. professor frances mair from the university of glasgow led the study and she joins me from our glasgow studio. thanks forjoining us. this will be a shock to quite a few people. when they are told they are frail you think you‘re talking about an older person, how does this show up in younger people? that's precisely the point. this is the first time we‘ve shown in a large population study of

500,000 people that frailty can apply to younger people, particularly we were focusing on younger people that have multi— morbidity, two or more chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes and heart disease and these people were at risk of frailty. we measured frailty by looking at five indicators, hand grip strength, weight loss, exhaustion, physical activity and walking speed. there‘s different ways of measuring it but we used these indicators and using that we found frailty was common in people from 37 and four men over 37 and women over 45 it double their risk of mortality over seven years. can someone who is fit the frail? well, no, they wouldn‘t qualify, they wouldn‘t get three or more of those criteria they would fail on. if someone is physically active and have a quick walking speed and are well then they wouldn‘t feel the criteria. what do you think if you think you are frail, what should you

do crazy if your hand grip all your strength is weaker and you think it is weakening, what should you do?m is weakening, what should you do?m is unclear because all the emphasis has been on people over 65 and there‘s been little research, limited research on younger people. the evidence is in older people frailty could be reversible and pre— frailty, something we picked up in the study, could be tackled to prevent people being frail and in older people we know interventions increasing physical activity complex asi increasing physical activity complex ains increasing physical activity complex as i is kuraby important, but it‘s important to do —— increasing physical activity and exercise could be important. we have a disease focused paradigm, we look at the disease and not the whole person, so we need to her list of the ss people to look at their risks and target treatments are effectively —— assess people. you said pre- frailty, is

that something doctors, gps, medical staff are trained to look at? is not something i have heard of when i am my age —— it‘s not. something i have heard of when i am my age -- it's not. that's an important point. pre— frailty means you have a few indicators rather than the three or more that gets you into the frailty category. many of the things that are measured in what we‘ve reported on today aren‘t routinely measured, like hand grip strength, not something we routinely measure in general practice. we raised the possibility that this is something that could be looked at in future and we could do these holistic assessments in people who have chronic illness in particular, especially people with multiple chronic in illnesses or multimorbidity. when is this likely to be part of an everyday conversation? we talk about osteoporosis and diabetes and looking for indicators there, but frailty hasn‘t entered the

conversation yet? it hasn't, that's another point we make in the paper, we need to engage the public and start funding research in this area. most of the research that‘s been done on frailty has been looking at older populations, and when we look at multi— morbidity, lots of the funding goes for people aged 55, and we‘re saying you need to bring the age down and target people at younger ages and start to do more research looking at younger age groups as well to see how best we can intervene to prevent people becoming frail and decreased the risk of mortality. thanks for joining us from our glasgow studio. thank you very much. more from charlie at grenfell tower marking a year since the fire that claimed the 72 lives began after 6:30am. but now, it‘s time now to get the news, travel, and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news,

i‘m sarah orchard. as you been hearing, services and vigils have been held to mark a year since the grenfell tower fire, which claimed the lives of 72 people. overnight, 13 tower blocks in the area we re overnight, 13 tower blocks in the area were lit in green along with other prominent buildings in the capital, including downing street at 12:54a.m., the capital, including downing street at 12:54 a.m., the time of the first 99 call. it was followed by a vigil at saint clements church. hundreds of people from the grenfell community, including survivors, gathered overnight to eat together ata gathered overnight to eat together at a local community centre. it was at a local community centre. it was a special breaking fast for people observing ramadan. many people who lived in the tower were muslims and it‘s thought many more would have died if they hadn‘t been a large meal on the night. the event last night was a celebration of the strong community around grenfell. it's it‘s very important that we all get together because this has affected everybody. from the very first day,

how we all got together, we are showing that solidarity together now and we are going to stay together for as long as it allows us. you can hear more about grenfell and the people affected by the fire at a special programme at 6:30pm tonight. a look at the travel news and a planned strike by london underground workers on the jubilee planned strike by london underground workers on thejubilee line today has been called off. further meetings are due to take place to resolve the issues around new timetables. taking a look at the rest of the chuka this morning, a mixed service with severe delays on the hammersmith & city and minor delays on the circle line. —— due. in lewisham, restrictions on the a 20 line pit bail following a fire on elvira street. anticlockwise delays on the m25 rognejunction 23 two south mimms and junction 22 at st albans following south mimms and junction 22 at st alba ns following an

nice day, should stay dry, sunny spells, highs of 22. watch out for a few showers on saturday, both. i'll i‘ll be back with more from bbc london in half an hour. back to the brea kfast tea m. london in half an hour. back to the breakfast team. goodbye. hello. this is breakfast with naga munchetty in the studio and charlie stayt in london, on the first anniversary of the grenfell tower fire. here‘s a summary of this morning‘s main stories from bbc news. commemorations and vigils are taking place today, to mark the first anniversary of the grenfell fire which claimed the lives of 72 people. shortly before 1am this morning, the time when the fire was first reported to the emergency services, 13 tower blocks in west london, including grenfell, were lit up in the colour green. there‘ll be a national minute‘s silence at midday which will be observed by the queen and parliament. the names of the victims will be read out and a candle for each victim will be lit at a church in north kensington. plans to relax some immigration rules and allow more skilled workers

from outside the eu into the uk, are expected to be confirmed by the home office. foreign doctors and nurses will be excluded from the government‘s current visa cap, to relieve pressure on the nhs. eight thousand skilled migrants from professions including it, engineers and teachers, are also expected to be employed each year. the american secretary of state, mike pompeo, says the us hopes to see what he calls "major disarmament" by north korea over the next two years. speaking in south korea when meeting the foreign minister, he said he was confident pyongyang understood that any work to remove nuclear weapons from the peninsula would have to be verified. after his summit with kim jong un, mr trump tweeted that north korea was no longer a nuclear threat. the un security council will meet for urgent talks called by the british government, on the current situation in yemen. the saudi—led coalition has begun a major offensive on a port city currently held by rebels. aid agencies are concerned that the assault could lead to a humanitarian disaster.

haiti has permanently banned the british arm of oxfam from operating in the country because of sexual misconduct by some of the charity‘s staff. the haitian government had temporarily suspended oxfam‘s operations in february, while it investigated allegations. oxfam said it was disappointed but understood the decision. us space officials say a huge dust storm has engulfed a quarter of the surface of mars, forcing the solar—powered opportunity rover into a dormant state. they say they are extremely concerned that the nearly 15—year—old robotic explorer has shut down almost all its functions and is no longer responding to commands. space engineers hope the rover will wake up once the storm has passed. martian dust storms can last for months. the classic brits returned last night after a gap of five years. and it was the 19—year—old who played the cello at the royal wedding who was one of the night‘s big winners. sheku kanneh—mason took home

the award for best male, and the critic‘s choice award. the internet is breathing a collective sigh of relief this morning, after a daredevil racoon which climbed up the side of a building in the american state of minnesota, was rescued. twitter users worldwide had spent nearly 24 hours tracking the animal, often with their fingers over their eyes, but eventually he made it to the roof, where a humane trap had been left laden with catfood. he‘s since been returned to the wild, where his new fans hope he‘ll stay. that is one daredevil of an animal. time for the sport with mike. and he‘s in the bbc‘s world cup hub. what a brave raccoon.

morning, naga. yes, here in the heart of the bbc sport centre, and it‘s finally here. the 2018 world cup in russia, and this afternoon. the hosts open up the tournament against saudi arabia in moscow, the same venue that‘ll stage the final onjuly 15th. but in all honesty, we‘re unlikely to see either of these sides making it all the way to the end. according to the latest fifa world rankings, saudi arabia and russia are the two worst teams in the tournament. russia have slid all the way down to 70th, that‘s below the likes of guinea and algeria. and that‘s despite the fact that in 2010 when russia were awarded the right to stage this world cup, they were inside the top 10. so, that match gets under way at 4pm our time in the russian capital, but these are the venues that matter to england. they‘ve already arrived at their hotel base of repino near st petersburg. it‘s an area close to the border with finland and secluded away in the forests, where

at this time of year. they only get three hours of darkness a day, so i hope they have good black—out blinds as they make their final preparations before they fly over a thousand miles to volgograd in the south—east on sunday, before they take on tunisia in their opening world cup match on monday. if we go back to our quad, we can get some insight from the england camp. this is the squad taking part in theirfirst training session yesterday. photographers and local schoolchildren were allowed into the complex to watch and the team were presented with traditional russian welcome presents, a loaf of bread for gareth southgate and a teapot for captain, harry kane. they then went through their drills before signing autographs for the locals.

we have got a nice little basketball net set up. we have a golf simulator. we have uno cards. just general cards, ping—pong, snooker. we are spoiled. we have everything. there is no reason to be bored, really. what fun. a great place to be. let‘s bring you, some of the rest of the world cup news and spain sacked their manager julen loper—taygee, on the eve of the tournament. he‘ll be the new manager of real madrid next season, replacing zinedine zidane, but spain said they hadn‘t been consulted. former captain fernando hierro will take charge for the world cup. they begin against neigbours, portugal, on friday in a match live on bbc one. portugal and spain tomorrow night.

so, what do you do when you love lionel messi but having his shirt just won‘t do? you get his face shaved into the back of your head of course! our own dan walker shared this on social media. it‘ll be interesting to see how it grows out! it could, of course, get rather "messi." excuse the pun. away from this world cup, let‘s fast forward eight years, and it‘s been announced the 2026 world cup will be held in the united states, canada and mexico. the "united 2026" beat morocco, winning over twice the number of votes. the tournament will be the biggest world cup ever held, with 48 teams playing 80 matches over 34 days. elsewhere in sport, england‘s cricketers got their one—day international series with australia off to a winning start at the oval. england were always on top, bowling the visitors out forjust 214, and they reached their target with more than six overs to spare.

david willey hitting the winning runs with a six. it is important we get the win earlier on in the series, and especially when we show characteristics like it is not our day that we can still get over the line. that is very important. it is tough playing against australia, normally a strong side. that was the case today. it was competitive, and played in the right spirit. in golf, it‘s the opening round of the second major of the year, the us open, later. it‘s being played at shinnecock hills in new york state and the winner seven years ago, rory mcilroy believes he is in good shape to win it again. i have got myself into contention quite a few times, so, i would love to do that again this week. it feels like it has been a while since i have been in the mix in this

championship. with how my game feels, hopefully i can do the right things over the next few days and put myself into a position to do another one. sounding very relaxed, like the english team in russia. see you later. come back soon. i am you. i will for a cup of tea later.|j later. come back soon. i am you. i will for a cup of tea later. i got the messi joke before. it wasn't rocket science. i wonder if he will get a bushier beard. we‘ll see. here‘s carol with a look at this morning‘s weather. the storm, storm hector, will cause a lot of trouble this morning. a lot of travel disruption. yes. good morning. storm hector is likely to

affect northern england, northern ireland, and scotland. this is what we can expect. some of us have already seen these values. some have yet to see them. these are the latest wind speeds. even in edinburgh, 55 miles per hour. as the wind strengthens, likely to cause delays in the air, road, and overwater. it is very windy. some of the trees could be uprooted. you can see this big cloud wrapped around storm hector. it encompasses weather fronts, which have been producing

is very much part of the spirit. we are ensuring safety no matter who you are. everyone can get behind the tea m you are. everyone can get behind the team spirit. the important thing about counter—terrorism and security is that it is a team game spread between ourselves, the security services, and the public. the public have a massive role to play and we are encouraging them to play that pa rt are encouraging them to play that part and to give us information to look after uk nationals overseas and those in the uk who want to go out and enjoy football, the amazing footballing nation. let's talk about situations you are concerned about. we are talking about getting together in the pub? are we talking about open spaces with big screens? first of all, there is no particular

intelligence to say anywhere has a greater threat than anywhere else. as we saw tragically last year, terrorists want to attack places with people enjoying themselves. the message is the vigilant and look out for each other. not only in large organised events, and we are at one of the biggest of those today, but also smaller events. it is about being vigilant and not being afraid to report even the smallest thing that makes it a comfortable. it is also about having a plan, a gameplan. is the worst does happen, you know what to do in those circumstances. since last year, we spent an enormous amount of time and energy working with security practitioners to make sure they have a better skill set and a more aware

and know what to do in emergencies and know what to do in emergencies and how to respond to reports from people participating in the events. earlier, i spoke to a correspondent in moscow talking about heightened security for obvious reasons. lots of extra staff, including the navy and the army. later this morning the home office will reveal the latest counter—terrorism statistics. an extra £24 million put into counterterrorism policing in the wa ke counterterrorism policing in the wake of last year‘s attacks understandably. has that made a difference? it makes a massive difference. since last year we‘ve looked at a lot of the activities we undertake, particularly in my world, which is protecting and preparing for a tax. we‘ve spent a long time working with industry and the private sector —— attacks. we‘ve done a lot of new thinking about how we tackle these issues. in particular its this engagement with the public, this

mobilisation with the public and the private sector capabilities that exist that will make a big give runs to dealing with terrorism going forward. it‘s worth highlighting that our approach is a collaborative one “— that our approach is a collaborative one —— big difference. it‘s important to note you will see visible policing security but there will be a lot going on in the background you won‘t see. it's background you won‘t see. it‘s this combined activity that we‘re certain will help keep people safe. nicked aldworth, chief superintendent with the metropolitan police. thank you very much and do enjoy the football when you watch it as well —— nick all worth. enjoy the football when you watch it as well -- nick all worth. thank you. it's it‘s one year since grenfell tower happened and 72 people lost their lives. charlie is there. welcome back to some of our special coverage of the one—year anniversary on the

programme this morning. one year ago today people were waking up to the news of the fire. you can see behind me the building itself this morning is shrouded in plastic, the message at the top beneath those grey skies today, grenfell for ever in our hearts. of course today will be a difficult day but an important day for the relatives of those that died. raymond bernard lost his life in his flat on the 23rd floor and one of his final acts was to give shelter to six of his neighbours. breakfast‘s graham satchell has been to meet raymond‘s family, including his 13—year—old niece shermia. i need to take a picture of that one to send that to someone... shermia and her family to send that to someone... shermia and herfamily are hundreds of miles from grenfell tower. i just and herfamily are hundreds of miles from grenfell tower. ijust felt they needed to get away. shermia‘s smiling, which i don‘t often see her doing since the tragedy. so it‘s

really wonderful to see. in fact, it‘s quite emotionalfor really wonderful to see. in fact, it‘s quite emotional for me to seek. shermia isjust 13. it‘s quite emotional for me to seek. shermia isjust13. her it‘s quite emotional for me to seek. shermia is just 13. her uncle, it‘s quite emotional for me to seek. shermia isjust13. her uncle, ray, was killed in the fire. he meant a lot to me because he was, like, the father figure lot to me because he was, like, the fatherfigure in my life. you always put a smile on my face and made me laugh. after the fire, with my sister, for example, i was getting more angry with her. it's been a difficult year, to be honest. what i do is see the fire, i close my eyes, see the fire, try to get to sleep, i see the fire. this is rape‘s memorial service. he lived in grenfell tower for 30 years on the top floor —— rape‘s memorial

service. ray watson an electrician who worked in buckingham palace and the house of commons. we learned on the house of commons. we learned on the night of the fire he sheltered people in his flat hash array was —— ray was. by the coroner that ray was a hero on that tragic night. shermia and bernadette are at the g re nfell shermia and bernadette are at the grenfell charity centre. it was so fun. that's nice. g re nfell fun. that's nice. grenfell families have been helped here to rebuild their lives. liz from the charity has been impressed by the resilience of the children, especially shermia. she's got a wonderful inner strength. you see the hurt and you see the loss, but you also see there the desire, kind

of, to enjoy life and get back to life, so, yeah, there is real hope. it is there. one yearon, one year on, shermia and herfamily are trying to make their lives normal again. but there is still unbearable pain and unanswered questions. without answers, it‘s not going to be finished. like, you want to know what happened. who‘s to blame? what happened. who's to blame? yeah. ray was my rock. my protector. so how can i forgive? the rock. my protector. so how can i forgive ? the people rock. my protector. so how can i forgive? the people responsible for taking him away from me in that way. i'm sorry. without answers, there is

no peace. graham satchell, bbc news. we really should extend our thanks to shermia and herfamily for sharing those moments with us. it‘s interesting today quite understandably the families of those who lost their lives largely keeping themselves to themselves, they‘re holding a vigil and they‘re not doing media interviews. at the same time, it‘s interesting reflecting on those words where they were talking about shermia and the hurt and lost they are feeling, but at the same time the notion of embracing life as it is now. we‘ll be here in the shadow of grenfell tower all morning, with more stories like shermia‘s, and how people pulled together to help others. i‘ll be joined by some of those who lived in the tower, and others whose help meant hundreds of residents who had lost everything had somewhere to go for shelter. that‘s all coming up a little later. now it‘s back to naga in the studio. thanks, charlie, certainlya poignant day. a plumber‘s supreme court victory could have huge ramifications for workers across the uk.

ben‘s got more on this. good morning. this is an argument about things like holiday pay or sick pay. so what happened ? well, this man, plumber gary smith, argued that he was a worker, not an independent contractor. it might sound like a minor quibble, but it‘s significant because it means he would be entitled to the benefits you get from an employer, like paid holiday or sick pay. he worked for pimlico plumbers for six years but he was paying tax as though he was self—employed, so it‘s a tricky area. his old boss, charlie mullins, who founded pimlico plumbers, was less than impressed. he gave his reaction outside the high court yesterday. companies all over the country are suffering because of this. this isn‘t about exploiting a lowly paid worker. you know, this guy could

worker. you know, this guy could work anywhere in the country, earn loads of money and unfortunately, i say, because of his own problems, he thought that he wanted to be a worker. it‘s absolutely disgraceful if i‘m being honest. sarah evans is a partner atjmw and she specialises in employment law. just explain why this case went in favour of gary smith. what the supreme court had to do was consider the third or fourth challenge by pimlico and mr mullins to find that he was a worker and not an independent contractor. what the court had to do was way we up the various factors required when you work out whether someone is an employee, worker or self—employed. —— way up the various factors. what level of autonomy did gary smith have? did he have control over the

administrative side of the work? could he decide when he worked? crucially in this case it was about whether he could substitute the work he was doing to somebody else. when you‘re doing the test it is weighing up you‘re doing the test it is weighing up the huge amount of factors, including the fact he was happy to work in terms of taking advantage of the vat rules and the tax benefits of being an independent contractor and use eis. the supreme court and all and use eis. the supreme court and a ll lower and use eis. the supreme court and all lower courts had found that such was the evidence and the fact back row per as they were found, he was not an employee but he was more than an independent contractor. when you paint that picture, it does underline how difficult it is because that 9—to—5 job underline how difficult it is because that 9—to—5job when we go into an office and set at a desk has changed so much, we can do things using apps, often working out of the office. it‘s very difficult, so many shades of grey when you define whether we are employed or

self—employed? it can be tricky and the tribunal is well experienced in striking that balance. we‘ve had the definition of going back a long time, think it was 1875. then we‘ve had it updated in the equal pay act and the precursor to the equal rights act. so it‘s not a new concept. there are certain arguments that are yet to be had in court about the specific gig economy cases, like uber drivers. court about the specific gig economy cases, like uber driverslj court about the specific gig economy cases, like uber drivers. i wanted to ask you about that, what does it mean for other people? a set of precedence, deliveroo, uber, whatever, gig economyjobs, does that mean you could be entitled to holiday pay and sick pay? not necessarily. i don‘t think anyone in employment law was that surprised by the outcome of this. all these types of cases, perhaps more than any other type of case, are very fact sensitive. i suppose it doesn‘t set a precedent for uber because that

would very much depend on what the day to day activities are that they do and the amount of control that is held over them, but what it does do is send a clear message thatjust because you have something in a contract, it doesn‘t mean that is what it is and it‘s how the contract is performed that the defining feature. you can call it whatever you like, but if, in fact, you are employing or engaging with people and they‘re providing personal services, then there are rights and obligations that go along with that. such an interesting area. thanks for explaining it. fiendishly complicated but sarah evans, thank you! naga, back to you. we‘ll be back at 7am. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. we will be back with the latest on storm hector with carol too. good morning from bbc london news, i‘m sara orchard.

as you‘ve been hearing services and vigils are being held to mark a year since the grenfell tower fire, which claimed the lives of 72 people. overnight, 13 tower blocks in the area were lit in green, along with other prominent buildings in the capital including downing street at 12:54am, the time of the first 999 call. the display was followed by a vigil at nearby st clement‘s church, where the names of those who died were read out. hundreds of people from the grenfell community, including survivors, gathered overnight to eat together at a local community centre. it was a special iftar, which means breaking—fast for people observing ramadan. many who lived in the tower were muslims and it‘s thought many more people would have died if they hadn‘t been, at a large iftar on the night. last night‘s event was also a celebration of the strong community around grenfell. it‘s very important that we all get together because this has affected everybody. from the very first day, how we all got together, we are showing that solidarity together now and we are going

to stay together for as long as it allows us. and you can hear more about grenfell and the people affected by the fire in a special programme at 6.30pm tonight with riz lateef. a look at the travel news this morning and a planned strike by london underground workers on thejubilee line today has been called off. further meetings are due to take place to resolve the issues of new timetables. on the rest of the tube this morning... there‘s a mixed service with minor delays on the hammersmith & city, district and circle lines. on the roads, in lewisham, there are restrictions on the a20 loampit vale following a fire earlier on elmira st. there are anticlockwise delays on the m25 from j23 a1(m) and j22 st albans following an earlier accident. let‘s have a check on the weather now with elizabeth rizinni.

hello, good morning. rather blustery conditions today and you will hear in the national forecast about storm hector. the worst of that is passing quite far to the north of us, but still across the london area, it will feel quite windy for this time of year with a bit of patchy rain around through the morning, but cheering up into the afternoon with lighter winds and the sunshine emerging. looking at wind gusts this morning of perhaps as high as 35 to 40 mph, that‘s enough to bring down leaves and small branches in places, perhaps a bit of light and patchy rain in places, but following the rain the skies will clear with lots of sunshine and feeling fresher than recent days, not quite as humid, top temperatures of 21 or 22. much lighter winds as we head to the end of the day, and the winds will remain light through the night. the skies will be clear for the most part and we‘re looking at temperatures dipping down to eight or nine rurally, cooler than last night.

into tomorrow, pretty nice day, should stay dry, sunny spells, highs of 22. watch out for a few showers on saturday, though. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. now, though, it‘s back to the breakfast team. bye for now. the first anniversary of the grenfell fire. good morning from west london. commemorations have begun to remember the 72 people who lost their lives. overnight, the tower and other buildings were lit up in green to mark the moment britain‘s worst domestic fire in eight decades. in a special programme, we report on a community still struggling to come to terms with the scale of the disaster 12 months on. good morning.

it‘s thursday the 14th ofjune. also on the programme this morning. more doctors and nurses from outside the eu could be allowed to work in the uk, as the government prepares to relax some immigration rules. it‘s show—time in russia. 32 teams playing 64 games over one month, and it all kicks off this afternoon. from our breakfast world cup hub, i‘ll have the latest on the build up to tonight‘s first match, and england‘s opener on monday. some bad news from a british engineering giant. engine—maker, rolls royce, is expected to announce thousands ofjobs will be cut, around half of those could be at it‘s factory in derby. i‘ll have the details in a moment. it‘s been very windy overnight for some. carol has the latest. there is an amber weather warning out from the met office. we‘re

looking at gales and severe gales and heavy and persistent rain. further south, wet and windy, but the worst is in the north. i will have more details in 15 minutes. good morning from london, and our position overlooking the grenfell tower, where 72 people died as a result of a fire which broke out a year ago today. commemorations and vigils are taking place today, to mark the first anniversary of the tragedy. shortly before one o‘clock this morning, the time when the fire was first reported to the emergency services — 13 tower blocks in the capital including grenfell, as well as other landmarks, were lit up in the colour green. this report from ben ando. a series of vigils. 13 tower blocks in the capital

including grenfell, as well as other landmarks, were lit up in the colour green. this report from ben ando. last night, and for the next three nights, grenfell goes green. the tower block, its scorched remains now clad in white sheeting, illuminated by coloured spotlights to commemorate the one—year anniversary since the devastating blaze in which 72 people died. on the ground, a silent vigil as people in the shadow of the tower came together remember and mourn. elsewhere, green lights were turned on in solidarity, on other tower blocks, at the cabinet office and at number 10 downing street. the lights were turned on here at 12:54am, that was the time the first 999 call was made. and the colour green was chosen because in the immediate aftermath of the fire local schoolchildren started using the hash tag #greenforgrenfell on social media.

we‘ve had to work very hard in the last few months but over this week we hope we will be given time and space to reflect on what‘s happened, on our loved ones, on the friends that we‘ve made over the year, you know, when we came together at the beginning of this terrible, terrible time. to allow that time for reflection, the grenfell public enquiry has paused and will resume next week. later today, a moment‘s silence will be observed and 73 white doves released, one for every known victim and one to recognise that there may be those who died in the tower as yet unidentified. ben ando, bbc news. let me tell you more about the

events taking place today. this morning the names of the victims will be read out and a candle for each victim will be lit at st helen‘s church in north kensington. there‘ll be a national minute‘s silence at midday, observed by the queen and parliament. locally that will last for 72 seconds, a second for each victim. and tomorrow, schools and community groups across the uk will go "green for grenfell," as they remember the victims and their families. audio issues. apologies. charlie isjust outside the tower. back to him later. now for the rest of this morning‘s news. plans to relax some immigration rules to allow more skilled workers from outside the eu into the uk are expected to be confirmed by the home office. foreign doctors and nurses will be excluded from the government‘s current visa cap, to relieve pressure on the nhs.

let‘s get more from our political correspondent jonathan blake. he‘s in our westminster newsroom. good morning. this is a change. but not to all immigration. theresa may as home secretary introduced a cap on skilled workers coming to the uk from outside the eu. jobs like doctors, nurses, it professionals, engineers, and others, just under 21,000 per year. we have heard for some time that, especially in the nhs, they have been struggling to recruit the number of doctors and nurses they need. cabinet ministers have put pressure on the prime minister to rethink this policy. there was a hint when that had gathered —— sajid javid was appointed home secretary that he

realised the cap was a problem and nurses and doctors would be exempt. thousands more will be able to come to the uk every year. it will have a knock—on effect for other sectors, as it will free up many thousands of visas to be allocated elsewhere if the cap stays in place. it is a significant shift in immigration policy that the we do not know the overall approach of the government and whether it will work after brexit, but this is a sign it is going ina brexit, but this is a sign it is going in a different direction. but the overall aim, never met, to reduce net immigration to the tens of thousands, it still stands. thank you for going through that, jonathan. the un security council will meet for urgent talks called by the british government, on the current situation in yemen. the saudi—led coalition has begun a major offensive on the port city of hudaydah currently held by rebels. aid agencies are concerned that the assault could lead to a humanitarian disaster. haiti has permanently banned

the british arm of oxfam from operating in the country because of sexual misconduct by some of the charity‘s staff. the haitian government had temporarily suspended oxfam‘s operations in february, while it investigated allegations. oxfam said it was disappointed but understood the decision. the american secretary of state, mike pompeo, says the us hopes to see what he calls "major disarmament" by north korea over the next two years. speaking in south korea when meeting the foreign minister, he said he was confident pyongyang understood that any work to remove nuclear weapons from the peninsula would have to be verified. the world should rest assured the united states, the republic of korea, and japan, remain committed to the complete, verifiable, and irreversible denuclearisation of north korea. these alliances are ironclad. we have a close friendship with these countries and will continue to closely co—ordinate with respect to north korea as we move forward together. in the last few minutes, the engineering giant rolls royce

has announced it will cut thousands of jobs. we were expecting this. ben‘s here to tell us more. it has just it hasjust come it has just come through. it hasjust come through. we know that 4600 jobs will go at rolls—royce. they make many things, but especially aircraft engines. 4600 jobs, but especially aircraft engines. 4600jobs, predominantly but especially aircraft engines. 4600 jobs, predominantly in the uk, especially derby. we are expecting details of what kinds ofjobs will go. it is more management rather than engineers and frontline staff. they say a third will go by the end of the year. a quick decision. 1500 will disappear by the end of the year. the rest by the year 2020.

this is to save money and revive their fortunes. we were expecting this news, but 1500 jobs going in a year, ican this news, but 1500 jobs going in a year, i can only imagine what workers are going through. they are also doing this presumably to save on costs. yes, that is the biggest issue. the biggest competitor is ge. they are struggling to make the business viable. on every engine they sell, they lose £1.5 million, which is astronomical. you get a contract which is astronomical. you get a co ntra ct to which is astronomical. you get a contract to sell an engine and then you have to maintain it and look after it. that is where they make money. but now they lose £1.5 billion per engine. they have to change things. so they have lost 4600 jobs. they say it will save £400 million. a massive plan. £200

million by 2020. 1500 jobs also by the end of the year will go in the rest by 2020. 4600, predominantly from the uk. thank you. the football world cup gets under way in russia today. fans form the 32 countries competing have been arriving for a month of football. our correspondent sarah rainsford is in moscow. ican i can see lots of fans already getting pictures outside the big monuments and everything. what is the atmosphere like there?m monuments and everything. what is the atmosphere like there? it is good. really positive. moscow does not normally sound and look like today. it does not have a huge number of tourists coming normally, but the whole world has descended over the past few days. huge amounts from columbia, panama, lots of groovy and is, and people from

egypt, iran, because the football kicks off today, but the party has started —— peruvians. everyone has come to red square to take pictures of the city. it is now the capital of the city. it is now the capital of the city. it is now the capital of the footballing world, russiais a huge moment for russia, a showcase for a country which is politically ata for a country which is politically at a point of really difficult relations with the west. it is hoping this is a chance to improve its image and change things for the better. it is hoped everyone will forget politics and focus on the football. politics will hang over the world cup, especially for today, the world cup, especially for today, the opening day, the ceremony, in moscow, and the big opening game. that is definitely the focus for now, at least. it is, the same with making sure those photos are nice and well lit. don‘t forget, carol will bring us an update on storm hector soon,

affecting parts of northern ireland, with amber warnings across england and scotland. she will bring us up—to—date on that. it is time to go to charlie. he is in london, outside g re nfell tower. to charlie. he is in london, outside grenfell tower. it has been one year since 77 died in the terrible fire. we are marking that important one year anniversary in special coverage this morning. you might remember it. the streets of west london are full of people offering help for those affected. bags of donations for those who were affected. we are working under an umbrella of humanity which is absolutely amazing. it shows people come together. people like donating to churches. i was one of them. christian people donated to mosques.

whatever was easier, closer. a network of night races, colours, just asking him. —— not races. —— us being humans. in the midst of this horror and destruction, is a bit of beauty, isn't it? a bit of uplifting feelings, resources, human resources. i was feelings, resources, human resources. l was here feelings, resources, human resources. i was here in the aftermath of the fire and i want you

to remember those scenes, the generosity of people, so many are arriving on the scene with things they thought other people might need. two of the people who helped that night were the reverend mike long, from notting hill methodist church, and abdurahman sayed, from the al—manaar mosque. theyjoin me now. first of all, mike, your thoughts, the one—year anniversary, it‘s a very important day and private one for the families to a large degree but it‘s been marked. for the families to a large degree but it's been marked. it's a poignant and difficult day for them especially but also for the whole community. as we look back, there‘s a sense of exhaustion in the community and a certain weariness and resignation about the events to date. significant though they are. for many this is still unfolding —— today. this isn‘t just for many this is still unfolding —— today. this isn‘tjust something terrible that happened but it continues to be difficult for so many in our local community. you

must remember it very clearly?” remember it very well. a moment nobody expected to be the way it was. hearing about the tragedy was very painful. we are part of the community and members of the community, of the congregation, at the al—manaar lived in the tower. it was a life changing experience for all of us. institutionally al—manaar has become more active in addressing issues notjust of has become more active in addressing issues not just of emergency but homelessness and poverty. that is one positive legacy we can remember and cherish from this tragedy. the other thing is coming together with the rest of the faith communities, the rest of the faith communities, the unity we have now is stronger than ever before and we're looking now at structuring that unity to insure we work together all the way, notjust in insure we work together all the way, not just in emergencies, insure we work together all the way, notjust in emergencies, also outside emergency times. two things

we re outside emergency times. two things were happening simultaneously, the horror of what was unfolding and still unfolding a year ago as we speak now, but also at the same time immediately people said we have to do something. we have to do something. that was at the same time. the sense of anger and horror at what was going on was met exactly with that sense of something needs to be done and what can we offer. many of those people volunteering in those first few days, even as they we re those first few days, even as they were helping, were still profoundly shocked and horrified at what was unfolding and asking all kinds of questions, many of those offering help and working very hard also found it very difficult to cope personally at the same time with what was unfolding before their very eyes. we are mindful of the noises behind us, that two blind runs directly behind the tower, this is a busyin directly behind the tower, this is a busy in the london community —— chew

line. people are getting on with their lives, some of the victims‘ families, especially the youngsters, saying they have to get on with things but at the same time dealing with the ripple effect and that can hurt long—term. with the ripple effect and that can hurt long-term. absolutely. we realise that will be the issue for a long time and part of our services now include providing counselling to insure people are getting all the support, notjust insure people are getting all the support, not just the insure people are getting all the support, notjust the material support, notjust the material support but the emotional, psychological support. habitation will be a major issue for many and looking also at what we have tried to do now together to ensure that people get a normal life as quickly as possible. mike, the focus today, because it‘s the anniversary, as you referred to a moment ago, for those caught up in it, it can be those one step away, not just caught up in it, it can be those one step away, notjust those immediately affected, it can have an impact? the whole community has been scarred and traumatised. that‘s not

a glib phrase, it‘s an accurate representation of the sense of loss and devastation in this community. others have been badly affected, barisic people who live elsewhere, people who used to live here for whom this was their home —— barisic people. they share in that sense of painful loss. thank you for your time this morning —— barisic people. we will carry on with our coverage from here from grenfell tower through the programme on the one—year anniversary. now, here‘s carol with the weather. thank you, charlie. on starting off with an amber weather warning from a met office ball wind across northern and western parts of northern ireland and a yellow one in force for wind across the west of northern ireland, all of scotland and northern england. widely we‘re looking at costs of 55 and 60 mph, but locally, 65 and 70 mph, and that includes the central lowlands during the rush hour this morning so bear that in mind. recent gusts are such,

pretty high, a gust ofjust 69 mph in cumbria and belfast you can see, 60 mph. edinburgh, 55 mph. storm hector is causing this and you can see this great big curl of cloud wrapped around the storm, that‘s been producing rain but the rain will turn more persistent as the second front moves across scotland. the king at the squeeze on the isobars, the strongest winds in the north, pretty windy further south. —— looking at. turning heavy through the morning and more persistent. the other thing is, with high tides and the strength of the wind, along the south—west coastline, including the ayrshire coastline, we could see coastal flooding through the morning and at high tide time, is —— which is lunchtime. three flood warnings in force in. gusts widely mph, locally is —— three flood warnings

in force. locally is —— three flood warnings inforce. locally is —— three flood warnings in force. we are still looking at pretty high gusts. through the course of the rest of the morning we lose one weather front from the south, some spots of rain and that will clear away, then the sun will come out. the second front coming across scotland producing heavy rain, turning more showery through the afternoon, it will be through the afternoon, it will be through the afternoon, it will be through the afternoon, mid afternoon, we start to see the winds ease a touch through the north but breezy rather than windy in the south with ties up to 22, that will feel quite pleasant. don‘t forget this morning we could have a lot of disruption due to the wind, —— with highs up to. small trees could be uprooted and the trees at this time of year are infull and the trees at this time of year are in full bloom, as opposed to the autumn, with the leeds acting like sales. nasty travel conditions first thing. —— with the leaves. clear skies. cooler than the one just gone for many. another little system pushing across scotland introducing

showers. where we‘ve got the clear skies by night is where we start off with sunshine tomorrow and for many it will be a beautiful start. through the day we see the cloud bubble up, looking at sunny spells rather than wall to wall blue skies, another system coming in from the atla ntic another system coming in from the atlantic will introduce showery outbreaks of rain in northern ireland, northern and western scotland. that leads us nicely into the weekend. on saturday we are looking at showers, on sunday, maybe some showers but it looks like it could be the driest day of the weekend. something to look forward to after these storms. carol, thank you very much. new immigration rules are being introduced to allow an extra 8,000 skilled workers from outside the eu into the uk. it will mean more access for some professionals such as health workers, engineers and teachers. joining me now is alp mehmet from the independent non—political research organisation, migration watch uk. good morning and thank you for

talking to us this morning. this changing the how significant is it? in terms of net migration, in the early stages i don‘t think it will make a huge amount of difference, bearing in mind the cap has been in place since 2011. perhaps it‘s about time it was reviewed —— the cap. what i hope doesn‘t happen is the medical sector uses it as a get out ofjail medical sector uses it as a get out of jail free card that medical sector uses it as a get out ofjail free card that they medical sector uses it as a get out of jail free card that they suddenly turned to the cheaper option of bringing in overseas trained doctors, particularly from poor countries, i think that would be morally wrong apart from anything. what we should be doing is training many more doctors ourselves, nurses and other medical professionals that we need. it's difficult when you got 8000 being allowed in and there are 35,000 nurse posts, nearly 10,000

doctors‘ vacancies, not really a get out ofjail doctors‘ vacancies, not really a get out of jail free doctors‘ vacancies, not really a get out ofjail free card even if all those posts are filled by the 8000? i would like to see the detail of how they arrive at those sorts of numbers. the fact is we are indeed far more dependent on foreign trained doctors and nurses and other countries, doctors in particular. we have something like 30% who are trained overseas. comparable countries, like france, something like 9%. the netherlands, 3%. canada, the united states, many fewer than has. why is that? it‘s because we haven‘t trained enough —— many fewer than us. i don‘t think the medical sector should be allowed to get away with the fact they haven‘t prepared for something they should have seen coming. training ta kes should have seen coming. training takes time and the posts need to be filled now, don‘t they? takes time and the posts need to be filled now, don't they? we've had since 2011 to do it. why haven‘t we

done it? that‘s the problem. since 2011 to do it. why haven‘t we done it? that's the problem. what restrictions would you like to see on the immigration rules if you say this isn‘t going to make a difference? theresa may resisted the cap and now it‘s been relaxed. difference? theresa may resisted the cap and now it's been relaxedlj cap and now it's been relaxed.” think we‘re going to have a new system in place inevitably because of brexit. brexit itself will give us an of brexit. brexit itself will give us an opportunity to bring numbers down, particularly an skilled workers coming from the eu. there‘s a whole system that is being worked out at the moment which i presume we‘re going to, at some point, have a site of —— unskilled. there‘s a great deal that needs to be done and frankly the people of this country wa nt frankly the people of this country want it —— have a look at. two thirds want immigration reduced. that is something i think we should keep the government to and the government shouldn‘t be allowed to get away with the fact they made a promise frankly and they haven‘t

kept it. net migration must come down because that‘s what people want. thank you very much. thank you. we‘ll have more from charlie at grenfell tower, marking a year since the fire which claimed 72 lives after 7:30am. but now it‘s time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i‘m sara orchard. as you‘ve been hearing, services and vigils are being held to mark a year since the grenfell tower fire, which claimed the lives of 72 people. overnight, 13 tower blocks in the area were lit in green, along with other prominent buildings in the capital including downing street 12:54am, the time of the first 999 call. the display was followed vigils including at nearby st clement‘s church, where the names of those who died were read out. hundreds of people from the grenfell community, including survivors, gathered overnight to eat together at a local community centre. it was a special iftar, which means breaking—fast many who lived in the tower

were muslims and it‘s thought more people would have died if there hadn‘t been a large iftar that night. yesterday evening‘s event was also a celebration of the strong community around grenfell. it‘s very important that we all get together because this has affected everybody. from the very first day, how we all got together, we are showing that solidarity together now and we are going to stay together for as long as it allows us. and you can hear more about grenfell and the people affected by the fire in a special programme at 6:30am tonight with riz lateef. a look at the travel news this morning and a planned strike by london underground workers on thejubilee line today has been called off. further meetings are due to take place to resolve the issues of new timetables.

on the rest of the tube this morning... there‘s a mixed service with minor delays on the hammersmith and city, district and circle lines. on the roads, in shadwell, the highway is down to one lane in both directions at glamis road following a collision. in chiswick, chiswick high rd is closed at chiswick lane following an accident, with southbound delays on turnham green terrace. let‘s have a check on the weather now with elizabeth rizinni. hello, good morning. some rather blustery conditions today and you will hear in the national forecast about storm hector. the worst of that is passing quite far to the north of us, but still across the london area, it will feel quite windy for this time of year with a bit of patchy rain around through the morning, but cheering up into the afternoon with lighter winds and the sunshine emerging. we‘re looking at wind gusts this morning of perhaps as high as 35 to 40 mph, that‘s enough to bring down leaves and small branches in places, perhaps a bit of light

and patchy rain too, but following the rain the skies will clear with lots of sunshine and feeling fresher than recent days, not quite as humid, top temperatures of 21 or 22. much lighter winds as we head to the end of the day, and the winds will remain light through the night. the skies will be clear for the most part and we‘re looking at temperatures dipping down to eight or nine rurally, cooler than last night. into tomorrow, pretty nice day, should stay dry, sunny spells, highs of 22. watch out for a few showers on saturday, though. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it‘s back to the breakfast team. bye for now. hello. this is breakfast, with naga munchetty in the studio and charlie stayt in london, on the first anniversary of the grenfell tower fire. here‘s a summary of this morning‘s main stories from bbc news. commemorations and vigils

are taking place today, to mark a year since a fire devastated grenfell tower, claiming the lives of 72 people. shortly before 1am this morning, the time when the fire was first reported to the emergency services, 13 tower blocks in west london, including grenfell, were lit up in the colour green. there‘ll be a national one minute silence held at midday which will also be observed by the queen and parliament. the names of the victims will be read out and a candle for each victim will be lit at a church in north kensington. plans to relax some immigration rules and allow more skilled workers from outside the eu into the uk, are expected to be confirmed by the home office. foreign doctors and nurses will be excluded from the government‘s current visa cap, to relieve pressure on the nhs. 8,000 skilled migrants from professions including engineering and teaching, are also expected to be employed each year. rolls—royce is to cut 4,600 jobs over the next two years as part of a restructuring programme.

middle managers and back—office staff in its derby base will bear the brunt of the cuts. the engineering firm says it is refocusing its business on civil aerospace, defence and power systems. the american secretary of state, mike pompeo, says the us hopes to see what he calls "major disarmament" by north korea over the next two years. speaking in south korea when meeting the foreign minister, he said he was confident pyongyang understood that any work to remove nuclear weapons from the peninsula would have to be verified. after his summit with kim jong un, mr trump tweeted that north korea was no longer a nuclear threat. the un security council will meet for urgent talks called by the british government, on the current situation in yemen. the saudi—led coalition has begun a major offensive on the port city of hudaydah currently held by rebels. aid agencies are concerned that the assault could lead to a humanitarian disaster. us space officials say a huge dust storm has engulfed a quarter

of the surface of mars, forcing the solar—powered "opportunity" rover into a dormant state. they say they are extremely concerned that the nearly 15—year—old robotic explorer has shut down almost all its functions and is no longer responding to commands. space engineers hope the rover will wake up once the storm has passed. martian dust storms can last for months. less trouble in the bbc sports. look at you in your fancy studio. don‘t take it personally. look at you in your fancy studio. don't take it personally.” look at you in your fancy studio. don't take it personally. i am! morning, naga.

yes, here in the heart of the bbc sport centre. and it‘s finally here. the 2018 world cup in russia, and this afternoon. the hosts open up the tournament against saudi arabia in moscow, the same venue that‘ll stage the final onjuly 15th. but in all honesty, we‘re unlikely to see either of these sides making it all the way to the end. according to the latest fifa world rankings, saudi arabia and russia are the two worst teams in the tournament. russia have slid all the way down to 70th, that‘s below the likes of guinea and algeria. and that‘s despite the fact that in 2010 when russia were awarded the right to stage this world cup, they were inside the top 10. so that match gets under way at 4pm our time in the russian capital, but these are the venues that matter to england. they‘ve already arrived at their hotel base of repino near st petersburg. it‘s an area close to the border with finland and secluded away in the forests, where at this time of year, they only get three hours of darkness a day.

so hope they have good black out blinds as they make their final preparations before they fly over a thousand miles to volgograd in the south—east on sunday, before they take on tunisia in their opening world cup match on monday. look at that journey. if we go back to our quad, we can get some insight from the england camp. this is the squad, taking part in their first training session yesterday, and they were presented, with traditional russian welcome presents, a loaf of bread for gareth southgate, and a teapot for captain harry kane. they then, went through their drills, before signing autographs for the locals. and the england players have been telling us what they‘ve got in the hotel to keep boredom at bay. let‘s bring you some of the rest of the world cup news and spain sacked their manager julen lopetegui, on the eve we have got a nice little basketball net set up. we have a golf simulator.

we have uno cards. just general cards, ping—pong, snooker. we are spoiled. we have everything. there is no reason to be bored, really. loads to do. what fun. let‘s bring you some of the rest of the world cup news and spain sacked their manager julen lopetegui, on the eve of the tournament. he‘ll be the new manager of real madrid next season, replacing zinedine zidane, but spain said they hadn‘t been consulted. former captain fernando hierro will take charge for the world cup. they begin against neigbours portugal on friday in a match live on bbc one. that is tomorrow night.

so, what do you do when you love lionel messi but having his shirt just won‘t do? you get his face shaved into the back of your head of course! our own dan walker shared this on social media. it‘ll be interesting to see how it grows out! incredible likeness. interested to see how it grows out. it could be messi. david ornstein is there. the sun last most of the day so sleeping is an issue. -- lasts. i hope

they‘ve dodged the moose. we have. in 90 minutes, they will be training for the second time. the training session will be open for 15 minutes. we can see how tired they are, how much sleep they‘ve gotten. 20 hours of daylight. glorious sunshine again this morning. gareth southgate picked the location because it was not too hot or cold so they can practice at full intensity. they have plenty to do at the hotel and a beachis have plenty to do at the hotel and a beach is not far away. it is quiet and isolated. hopefully it is calm enough for them. they are staying at

a hotel called forrest mix, we call it for—rest mix. a hotel called forrest mix, we call it for-rest mix. english fans will wa nt to it for-rest mix. english fans will want to know about marcus rashford and whether he can play. how much of and whether he can play. how much of a doubt is there over his injury? we should find out more today. will he trained? that should find out more today. will he trained ? that is should find out more today. will he trained? that is the big question. —— train. he did not yesterday. he got a knock to the knee at saint georges park. we are told it was a precaution. they are training at 9:15 your time. we will hear from some of the players this afternoon. not long to go until the start of the world cup. thank you very much indeed. fingers crossed for marcus

rashford. a fantastic goal he scored at costa rica in the warmup. away from this world cup, let‘s fast forward eight years, and it‘s been announced the 2026 world cup will be held in the united states, canada and mexico. the "united 2026" beat morocco, winning over twice the number of votes. the tournament will be the biggest world cup ever held, with 48 teams playing 80 matches over 34 days. elsewhere in sport, england‘s cricketers got their one—day international series with australia off to a winning start at the oval. england were always on top, bowling the visitors out forjust 214, and they reached their target with more than six overs to spare. david willey hitting the winning runs with a six. in golf, it‘s the opening round of the second major of the year, the us open, later. it‘s being played at shinnecock hills in new york state and the winner seven years ago, rory mcilroy believes he is in good shape to win it again. he is looking and sounding pretty

confident. that is it for now. back to you. see you later. carol will have the latest on storm hector and the weather warnings around the country in four minutes. one in three allegations of so—called revenge porn are withdrawn by the complainant, according to an investigation by the bbc. charities which support victims say it‘s because the victims aren‘t given anonymity, as it‘s not classified as a sexual offence, and a lack of police support. lauren evans contacted the police after she discovered that a man she‘d met online was sharing sexual images of her on social media.

i told her my story and sat down with her. and she said, well, i guess you have learned your lesson. that shook me to my core. i was feeling very unsafe in myself that night because i thought if they think it is my fault, the police, what is the point in going on, really? these pictures are out there andi really? these pictures are out there and i have no control over them. if the police think it is my fault, and my friends and family, they will think it is my fault. i was com pletely think it is my fault. i was completely humiliated and shocked. it is ata completely humiliated and shocked. it is at a betrayal of trust. the emotions you go through is just horrific. it triggered a lot of depression and suicidal thought. it was a very depression and suicidal thought. it was a very dark time in my life. i am trying to speak out about it because not only do i think it is helpful for everyone to learn more about this, it is helping me own what happened to me rather than

being just a victim. we‘rejoined now byjulia mulligan, the north yorkshire police and crime commissioner, who‘s been petitioning the government for change. thank you forjoining us. you heard her experience. she said when she spoke to the police, she was told i guess you have learned your lesson. this is not only about a lack of anonymity, it is about a lack of understanding. at least in her case, she thought it was very apparent. are you surprised there is a lack of confidence in this system even though there were laws introduced in 2015? i am not surprised. if you look at the numbers of reports coming through, it is the tip of the iceberg. if you look a little further down the system and see the numbers brought the prosecution successfully, it is even lower. something is not working here. and when you listen to stories like hers, andi

when you listen to stories like hers, and i would like to thank her for sharing her story, you start to understand why. abu ein to try to get the government to listen to the stories of victims and change the law. —— and we need to. stories of victims and change the law. -- and we need to. that's hard with anonymity. —— we will start with. the law is a communications defence. if it was a sexual offence, they would be offered anonymity to be thejudge has they would be offered anonymity to be the judge has said if they feel there are circumstances where a victim should not be publicly named, they have the discretion to do that. they feel that is sufficient at the moment. we do not think that is the case. victims are named. when victims have spoken to you, how have they felt that has affected their case or desire to see it through? one of the victims i have spoken to, her case was spread all over the tabloid newspapers. and she felt as if her thing was being relived again

ina public if her thing was being relived again in a public way. she was traumatised by that public exposure. i think it is really, really important that victims can feel that they have got the confidence to come forward, that they will be taken seriously in the first and, they will be taken seriously in the firstand, and they will be taken seriously in the first and, and then they will be protected did and supported through the criminal justice protected did and supported through the criminaljustice process. —— first instance. what about convictions? how difficult is it to get a conviction? as you have said, it isa get a conviction? as you have said, it is a communications crime, not sexual. there is a jail sentence you can get for this. people typically get 6— 12 months if they get a custodial sentence. the problem is around the way the law is worded. the prosecuting authorities have to prove there was intent to cause harm. that it was deliberately done to be that has a high bar. i think

it isa to be that has a high bar. i think it is a problem in the way the law is worded in itself. you had the first conviction for revenge pawn in yorkshire and you spoke about how that was traumatic and how the victim was treated, we heard from lauren about a lack of sympathy when she was dealing with the police, are the crimes taken seriously by the police? you do but overall is there a respect for this level of crime?” think it will be mixed. i think the picture will vary from area to area. if you look at my area, north yorkshire, sometimes it is dealt with very well and the victim i first came into contact with felt the police dealt with her plays very well in the first instance. lauren clearly didn‘t. it is mixed. there‘s issues around the way the police deal with it. there‘s a fundamental problem around victims themselves being blamed for this. that isn‘t

just by the police but it can ma nifest just by the police but it can manifest itself in horrible ways on social media and other places so it‘s really important the victims are not blamed and it‘s the perpetrators who are doing this that are the problem, not the victims. thank you for talking to us on bbc brea kfast. i told you there had been some storms around and high levels of wind, carol is looking at that this morning. lots of people need to be careful today? they do, we have had pictures tweeted of trees coming down, that isa tweeted of trees coming down, that is a hazard today. storm hector is bearing down. wind gusts of widely 50—60 in scotland, northern ireland and northern england but we can see 60 or 70 mph as well. the met office has an amber warning on for wind in northern and

western parts of northern ireland, so western parts of northern ireland, so be prepared, yellow for the rest of northern ireland, scotland and northern england. again for wind. let‘s look at the latest gusts. you can see nicely in the satellite picture this curl of cloud. this is rotating around storm hector, and it‘s producing some rain with its weather fronts. the heaviest it‘s producing some rain with its weatherfronts. the heaviest rain is going to come in again on this second front, heavy and persistent across scotland, and here too the winds will be slowest in east anglia, taking until the middle of the afternoon before they moderate. still showery and breaks but expect heavy bursts. still gusty winds and with high tides, there‘s the risk of some coastal flooding in with high tides, there‘s the risk of some coastalflooding in parts with high tides, there‘s the risk of some coastal flooding in parts of south—west scotland as we go through

the morning and high tide time, which is lunchtime. for northern ireland and northern england we are looking at the same level of gusts in widely, 50—60 mph, locally 70, for the rest of england and wales, although it is windy, not as windy as it is further north. you can see here the remnants of the first weather front going through, not producing much rain at all, and it will clear. when it does, for england and wales, the sun will come out, the wind will ease and you will have a bright and breezy day with highs of 22, feeling quite pleasant for the time of year. for the north of the country, for northern ireland, the far north of england and scotland, it will still be windy, the wind slowly moderating through the day and further showers coming in across scotland and it will feel cooler. through the

evening and overnight under clear skies, we are looking at temperatures a bit lower for some than last night, so a cooler night in prospect. showers crossing scotland, these are the temperature values we are looking at, 7—11, maybe 12. where we‘ve had the clear skies by night, first thing we are looking at beautiful blue skies. through the day tomorrow the cloud will bubble up and sunny spells rather than wall to wall blue skies, and another system from the atlantic will introduce rain into northern ireland and scotland. temperatures are around 12—222 again, but the wind won‘t be a feature tomorrow. not anywhere near as strong. into the weekend, saturday looking u nsettled, the weekend, saturday looking unsettled, some sunshine around but afairfew unsettled, some sunshine around but a fairfew showers unsettled, some sunshine around but a fair few showers as well. sunday seeing more sunshine, fewer looks like being the driest day of the weekend. my my admiration for you knows no bounds. i saw her choke and i thought, has she got some water, how is she going to deal with it? seamless! frogs in my throat! bless

you, naga, bless you! thanks, carol. keep carol. keep up to date with what carol has to say this morning because of storm hector causing havoc particularly in the north of the uk. this news in the last hour, job cuts, cost—cutting measures by the end of the year? a heavy toll on the end of the year? a heavy toll on thejobs, 4600 jobs will the end of the year? a heavy toll on the jobs, 4600 jobs will go at royals rose, the engine maker, saying it has to turn around the business, having a tough time at the moment —— rolls royce. there are few details at this stage on where the axe will fall but we‘re told the majority will be in management and back—office roles. rolls royce says it‘s cutting 4,600 jobs to cut costs and keep competitive. a third of them will go by the end of the year. to put that into some context,

rolls royce has 26,000 staff in uk and 15,700 in derby. here‘s what the boss warren east told the bbc a little earlier. most of those management and support functions are in derby, and therefore it will actually be most strongly felt in derby. you know, rolls royce has been around doing aircraft engines for just rolls royce has been around doing aircraft engines forjust over 100 yea rs, aircraft engines forjust over 100 yea rs , we aircraft engines forjust over 100 years, we want to be around doing similar things for the next 100 yea rs we similar things for the next 100 years we need to make ourselves competitive and fit for the future. james bevan is an analyst whojoins us now from our london newsroom. good morning to you, james. we‘re looking at the numbers this morning and by our calculations it‘s the biggest headcount reduction at rolls—royce since 2001 and that‘s important because that was after 9/11 where travel and the demand for planes fell through the floor? this

isa planes fell through the floor? this is a savage set of cuts. derby will be pleased because there‘s been a commitment to research and development remaining in derby, many anticipated that might be sent around the world. a bitter cut for people in management, but it‘s not expected many of the job losses will be in engineering itself. that's important, lost of questions about who will be affected, 4600. you‘ve touched on management. they are pointing out it shouldn‘t be engineering jobs because ultimately that will keep them competitive? there are two aspects to the rolls royce challenge. one is their technological and technical efficiency and effectiveness, and they are world leaders, the other is as an organisation they are seen as relatively cost heavy. the company made a commitment to get two free cash flow of £1 billion by 2020. then, of course, with the problems of the trent 1000 injune, much

reported in the media, they aren‘t likely to hit that target —— engine. they say it will cost £500 million to achieve but by 2020 they say they will have annual cost savings of around £400 million. many will look at this headline and say how can a business get rid of 4600 staff and still operate, how can they get it so wrong still operate, how can they get it so wrong when they have 4600 staff seemingly too many? it's seemingly too many? it‘s a significant cut. it‘s been coming some while. the chief executive, mr east, highlighted that he thought the layers of management and administration were excessive and administration were excessive and needed to be pruned down. in that sense this is not a surprise. that rolls royce have had this number of employees on the payroll is something we‘ve recognised. i guess we will be surprised at the speed at which mr east is undertaking the reductions. he said a third of the jobs will go

by the end of the year. i wonder about the business model for something like an engine maker, some of the press reports at the weekend that it loses £1.5 million on every engine it sells because it makes most of the money from the service and maintenance contracts, not selling the thing but maintaining it. absolutely right. of course it's trying to change that, it‘s trying to raise the profitability of new sales. rolls royce is still a globally dominant player in the production ofjet engines tom and also a major player in power systems, another part of the family empire ——jet engines,. systems, another part of the family empire -- jet engines,. thank you for your time time this morning. 4600 jobs to go at rolls royce, the engine maker, a third by the end of the year. thanks very much, ben. we‘ll have lots more from charlie, marking the first anniversary of the grenfell tower fire after 8am.

but now it‘s time to get the news, travel and weather where you are. i will see you soon. ggood morning from bbc london news, i‘m sara orchard. as you‘ve been hearing, services and vigils are being held to mark a year since the grenfell tower fire, which claimed the lives of 72 people. overnight, 13 tower blocks in the area were lit in green, along with other prominent buildings in the capital including downing street 12:54am, the time of the first 999 call. the display was followed vigils including at nearby st clement‘s church, where the names of those who died were read out. hundreds of people from the grenfell community, including survivors, gathered overnight to eat together at a local community centre. it was a special iftar, which means breaking—fast, for people observing ramadan. many who lived in the tower were muslims and it‘s thought more people would have died if there hadn‘t been a large iftar that night. yesterday evening‘s event was also a celebration of the strong community around grenfell. it‘s very important that we all get

have minor delays on the hammersmith and city, district and circle lines. on the roads, in shadwell, the highway is down to one lane in both directions at glamis road following a collision in chiswick, chiswick high rd is closed at chiswick lane following an accident, with southbound delays on turnham green terrace. let‘s have a check on the weather now with elizabeth rizinni. hello, good morning. some rather blustery conditions today and you will hear in the national forecast about storm hector. now, the worst of that is passing quite far to the north of us, but still across the london area, it‘s going to feel quite windy for this time of year with a bit of patchy rain around through the morning, but cheering up into the afternoon with lighter winds and the sunshine emerging. we‘re looking at wind gusts this morning of perhaps as high as 35 to 40 mph, that‘s enough to bring down leaves and small branches in places, perhaps a bit of light and patchy rain too, but following the rain the skies will clear with lots of sunshine and feeling fresher than recent days, not quite as humid,

top temperatures of 21 or 22. much lighter winds as we head to the end of the day, and the winds will remain light through the night. the skies will be clear for the most part and we‘re looking at temperatures dipping down to eight or nine rurally, cooler than last night. into tomorrow, pretty nice day, should stay dry, sunny spells, highs of 22. watch out for a few showers on saturday, though. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. now it‘s back to the breakfast team. the first anniversary of the grenfell fire. good morning from west london. commemorations have begun to remember the 72 people who lost their lives. overnight the tower and other buildings were lit up in green to mark the moment of britain‘s worst domestic fire in eight decades. in a special programme, we report on a community still struggling to come to terms with the scale of the

disaster 12 months on. good morning. it‘s thursday 14th june. also on the programme this morning: more doctors and nurses from outside the eu could be allowed to work in the uk as the government prepares to relax some immigration rules. it‘s showtime in russia. 32 teams playing 64 games over one month. and it all kicks off at 4 this afternoon. from our breakfast world cup hub, i‘ll have the latest on the build—up to tonight‘s first match and england‘s opener on monday against tunisia. thousands of jobs to go at rolls royce. the british engine maker says it‘s cutting 4,600 jobs, the majority of them in the uk.

more than half could be at its site in derby. i‘ll have the details. it‘s been very windy overnight for many. carol has the latest. good morning. unseasonably so. the met office has an amber weather warning out from northern and western parts of northern ireland for winds and a yellow warning for the rest of northern ireland, scotla nd the rest of northern ireland, scotland and england for winds. it will be accompanied by rain and further south it will still be windy but not so windy and the rain not quite so heavy. more details in 15 minutes. good morning from west london and our position at the base g re nfell tower london and our position at the base grenfell tower where 72 people died asa grenfell tower where 72 people died as a result of the fire a year ago today. behind me you can see the tower itself. you will have seen those images over those past few weeks and months and it is now shrouded in plastic. the sign at the top is very much a symbol for the people in this area. grenfell,

forever in our hearts. there will be a series of commemorations and vigils taking place today. shortly before one o‘clock this morning, the exact time when the fire was first reported, six minutes to one, 13 tower blocks in west london including grenfell and other landmarks, were lit up in the colour green. this report from ben ando. last night, and for the next three nights, grenfell goes green. the tower block, its scorched remains now clad in white sheeting, illuminated by coloured spotlights to commemorate the one—year anniversary since the devastating blaze in which 72 people died. on the ground, a silent vigil as people in the shadow of the tower came together to remember and mourn. elsewhere, green lights were turned on in solidarity, on other tower blocks, at the cabinet office and at number 10 downing street. the lights were turned on here at 12:54am, that was the time the first 999 call was made.

and the colour green was chosen because in the immediate aftermath of the fire, local schoolchildren started using the hashtag #greenforgrenfell on social media. we‘ve had to work very hard in the last few months but over this week we hope we will be given time and space to reflect on what‘s happened, on our loved ones, on the friends that we‘ve made over the year, you know, when we came together at the beginning of this terrible, terrible time. to allow that time for reflection, the grenfell public enquiry has paused and will resume next week. later today, a moment‘s silence will be observed and 73 white doves released, one for every known victim and one to recognise that there may be those who died in the tower as yet unidentified. ben ando, bbc news. the lighting up of the tower and

other buildings is the most obvious sign ofa other buildings is the most obvious sign of a number of events taking place today. let me take you through what will be happening this morning. this morning the names of the victims will be read out and a candle for each victim will be lit at st helen‘s church in north kensington, where we are. there‘ll be a national minute‘s silence at midday, observed by the queen and parliament. locally that will last for 72 seconds, a second for each victim. and tomorrow, schools and community groups across the uk will go green for grenfell as they remember the victims. and also their families. a special programme for us on and also their families. a special programme for us on breakfast this morning. we arejoined in 20 minutes by one of the residents, a survivor of the fire that night, who will be talking to us about how he is feeling today on the one year anniversary. and how the community has been trying to cope since then. that is all coming up a little later. now i will hand you back to the studio and naga. thanks, charlie.

now for the rest of this morning‘s news. plans to relax some immigration rules to allow more skilled workers from outside the eu into the uk are expected to be confirmed by the home office. foreign doctors and nurses will be excluded from the government‘s current visa cap to relieve pressure on the nhs. let‘s get more from our political correspondent jonathan blake. he‘s in our westminster newsroom. jonathan, there was resistance, wasn‘t there, initially from theresa may, to provide any relief on this cap? there has been a change. yes, she has long taken a tough line on immigration and it was theresa may herself at home secretary who introduced the cap of 20,700 visas per year for skilled introduced the cap of 20,700 visas per yearfor skilled migrants introduced the cap of 20,700 visas per year for skilled migrants coming to the uk from outside the european union. but for some time now we have heard from nhs bosses in particular, how they have struggled to recruit the numbers of doctors and nurses that they need. it is other sectors that they need. it is other sectors that are suffering as well. there has been pressure on the prime minister to give way and change this policy. now we are hearing that

doctors and nurses will be exempt from that. more visas will be issued to them. it will also have a knock—on effect for other sectors, engineering and it and others, because there will be thousands more visas available to be allocated to people coming to the uk from other countries outside the eu to work in those sectors. we will get more details from the government on how exactly this will work tomorrow. it isa exactly this will work tomorrow. it is a significant shift and we don‘t know yet what the government‘s approach to immigration will be overall after brexit. but perhaps this is an indication that it is going ina this is an indication that it is going in a slightly different direction. the aim of the government to reduce net migration from outside the eu to under 100,000 still stands, even though it has never been met. thank you for taking us through that, jonathan. jonathan blake. in the last hour the engineering giant rolls—royce has announced it will cut thousands of jobs.

ben‘s here to tell us more. usually we hear news like this and you think it will be phased in but it is really quick this time. yes, 4600 jobs will go at rolls—royce. when we talk about engines, it is the stuff on aeroplanes, so the things that are keeping you up in the air next time you go on holiday. rolls—royce has got tough competition so they are trying to streamline the business and make it more competitive, so they will lose 4600 jobs, and the majority will be in the uk. they have got a big site in derby so there is a lot of concern about the future of that site and the people working there. we are told a lot of these jobs will go in management and middle and back office staff, rather than front—line engineers. that is a crucial thing we have heard this morning. but you are right, one third of thosejobs will go by the end of the year, so a very quick turnaround. we have been looking at the numbers this morning

and we work out it is the biggest headcount reduction since 2001, which is significant because after 2001 and the terrible events of 9/11, demand for air travel plummeted, and big firms had to lay off staff, and this puts into contact off staff, and this puts into co nta ct how off staff, and this puts into contact how significant it is. rolls—royce in the uk employs 26,000 staff and there are 15,700 in derby, so staff and there are 15,700 in derby, so 4600 job cuts have been announced this morning, which is a pretty significant proportion of them. we really feel for those in derby waiting to hear the fate of their jobs. thank you. the un security council will meet for urgent talks called by the british government on the current situation in yemen. the saudi—led coalition has begun a major offensive on the port city of hudaydah currently held by rebels. aid agencies are concerned that the assault could lead to a humanitarian disaster. haiti has permanently banned the british arm of oxfam from operating in the country because of sexual misconduct by some of the charity‘s staff. the haitian government had temporarily suspended oxfam‘s operations in february,

while it investigated allegations. oxfam said it was disappointed but understood the decision. the american secretary of state, mike pompeo, says the us hopes to see what he calls major disarmament by north korea over the next two years. speaking in south korea when meeting the foreign minister, he said he was confident pyongyang understood that any work to remove nuclear weapons from the peninsula would have to be verified. the world should rest assured that the united states, the republic of korea, and japan remain committed to the complete, verifiable, and irreversible denuclearisation of north korea. the us alliances with these two countries are ironclad. we have a close friendship with these countries and will continue to closely co—ordinate with respect to north korea as we move forward together. it is nine minutes past eight. and

in case you hadn‘t realised, there isa in case you hadn‘t realised, there is a big competition happening. the football world cup gets under way in russia today. there will be 64 games during the month—long tournament, with 32 countries competing. our correspondent sarah rainsford reports from central moscow on what‘s happening head of the first game. the party has finally started. this is not how moscow usually sounds... un saludo para todos! and it‘s not what it usually looks like either. but for one month, russia has been transformed into the centre of the football world. there‘s even a kickabout on the cobblestones, just metres from red square. with football fans from all over the world now flooding in here, russia is clearly hoping everyone forgets all about politics. the list of grievances against russia, of course, is long. but there was no boycott of this world cup and this is a country

on a great charm offensive. we were so surprised with the friendship, the smiles, the people smiling. i like the russians. omar‘s just hoping his hero will be fit again. if he will not play in the first half, he could in the second half. apparently he did not play in the training session. but he is mohamed salah. russia‘s big hope is for a smooth world cup. there is much more than football at stake here. sarah rainsford, bbc news, moscow. who do we want to talk to about this other than former international phil neville? it is so lovely to have you on the programme. are you feeling that excitement there? this morning i thought i wasn‘t feeling it when i was sitting in the newsroom, and the

editors said wait for the first game and it will kick in. i arrived last night and straightaway you can sense the excitement. loads of supporters arriving into moscow last night. you are right. until you witness the world cup first—hand actually in the country, you don‘t get a sense of the french ship, the camaraderie, the atmosphere. it‘s great. —— the friendship. from the minute i landed in moscow last night, the atmosphere has been incredible. we have got that to look forward to. talk to us about gareth southgate. you know him. you knew him as a player and now as a manager. what is his strategy and how is he dealing with the team ? what strategy and how is he dealing with the team? what is he doing well? he has done most things well since he got thejob. he has had a couple of difficult moments on and off the field, and he has handled it superbly. the biggest thing you can say is this is the calmest preparation england have had going into a world cup. the media seem to be on the side of the players and the players are mixing with the media and they are all speaking well. the camaraderie in the camp

looks fantastic. there are lots of young players in the squad that gareth has brought in. he has probably helped produce within his role with the 21 team. it is an interesting group and there will be some challenges within the world cup but in terms of going into a world cup, i don‘t think any manager has prepared the team as well as gareth has mentally. they are ready to attack the world cup and perform. you know what? we focus in small stages. we focus on getting out of the group and then once we have, this young set of players can grow into the competition, show their quality and show their fearless attitude that we have seen in the build—up games. attitude that we have seen in the build-up games. you talk about the young team. this is a young team. is ita young team. this is a young team. is it a good thing that they are out of the centre of moscow and away from it all or is it a negative thing because they are not experiencing the it is good that you are away from

the razzmatazz of supporters, you can get sucked into it sometimes. it is about england focusing on our first game next week. one of the ibys first game next week. one of the joys about viewing football for me is that you can always say that the refs got it wrong, especially when it‘s your team! this year, we‘ve got the video assistant referees, is that going to take the joy out of it? ordo that going to take the joy out of it? or do you think it will keep the game moving out there will be very little dispute in that sense? game moving out there will be very little dispute in that sense ?m game moving out there will be very little dispute in that sense? if you had asked me six months ago, i was a bit sceptical because i thought it would take away the pub talk after the game, the arguments about getting an offside decision, penalty

decision wrong. from what we have seen over decision wrong. from what we have seen over the last six months it mightjust seen over the last six months it might just heighten the seen over the last six months it mightjust heighten the chat after a game anyway. it is in its early stages, this system. and what i would say is it will make sure the big decisions in this world cup are right. you want to win it out right, not by a poor decision or controversial system. it is a new system and there is development to be done but we will make sure we will get the big decisions right on the big occasions that is all you can ask what their manager. and as a player. that big decisions are right. goalline technology has been brought in that has worked. va are has been brought in. let‘s make sure it works in this world cup. —— var has been brought in. thank you. enjoy the commentating. i think that‘s current women‘s football team manager, good luck with the team as well. thank you. thank you very much. we will talk to carol in a moment

but a bit of a weather related story. the irish coastguard has issued a novel warning to anyone tempted to try to brave the weather to get photos of storm hector. this is a serious storm. it has posted a video on its twitter page with lego figures. it asks people to #respectthewater and stay away from exposed coastal areas during severe weather. it may seem light—hearted but there are some really important warnings that you need to be aware of in terms of travel today, when it comes to storm hector. you will keep us updated? yes. very good advice. worth mentioning high tides around the scottish coastline in the south—west where we also have some strong winds forecast for today. that combination could lead to some coastal flooding this morning and dad hides time at lunchtime. the met office has an amber weather warning out for wind due to storm hector across northern

and western parts of northern ireland. valid until 9am. gusts of wind up to 60 mph but some of us are seeing higher than that, up to 70 mph. the recent gusts that we have had, and that will be updated shortly, it showed the strength of the gusts that we have seen. in edinburgh we have had 54 mph already. and at its height, 100 mph, and cairngorm had that value earlier today as well. it is all connected today as well. it is all connected to storm hector. an area of cloud, unseasonably low pressure which we don‘t expect in june, unseasonably low pressure which we don‘t expect injune, and the tightest isobars are across the north but slack for the south, so the winds are not as strong. across scotla nd the winds are not as strong. across scotland we have rain this morning. it is turning heavier in the west. that is half the story. the other

half of the story are the winds. if you are travelling this morning, they could bring disruption and if you are in a high sided vehicle, bear that in you are in a high sided vehicle, bearthat in mind. you are in a high sided vehicle, bear that in mind. tricky travelling conditions. in northern ireland and the rest of england, a similar story with similar values. if you are travelling, take extra care. for the rest of england and wales, windy start to the day but not as. except for over higher ground in wales where there will be high gusts. and this weather front in the south—east is producing cloud and lighter rain. through the morning that will continue to move away and the sunshine will come out behind it. we have this persistent rain moving across scotland through the next few hours. couple that with the winds, not particularly pleasant. the winds in north of the country will start to moderate slowly as we go through the afternoon but they will be lighter by the afternoon across england and wales high

temperatures of 22 and in any sunshine that will feel quite nice. as we had through the evening and overnight period under clear skies, it will be cooler for some of us compared to the nights just gone. showers coming in in western scotla nd showers coming in in western scotland and these are that average values you can expect. where we have clear skies, that is where we will have sunshine to start with. we have a weather front coming in from the south—west bringing showery outbreaks of rain. head of it the cloud will build and we will be looking at sunny spells further south rather than constant blue skies. temperatures up to 22. on saturday we are looking at showers. it will be more unsettled but on sunday more of us will see sunshine. charlie? thank you. we are feeling some of the effects of the weather that carol has been talking about in west london. the tower is just behind us. it is one year on from g re nfell tower behind us. it is one year on from grenfell tower fire. so many u na nswered grenfell tower fire. so many unanswered questions but today is a

day for remembering the 72 who lost their lives. for those who survived their lives. for those who survived the grenfell fire, their lives will never be the same again. joining me this morning is antonio roncolato who was rescued from the tower with his son more than six hours after the fire started, and solicitor sophie earnshaw whose firm has represented about 250 people over the past year. antonio, thank you so much. just as the rain started, we passed you the umbrella and you reflected that the weather was so different exactly this time last year. we have told about this before and i know you are happyjust to about this before and i know you are happy just to explain about this before and i know you are happyjust to explain to people what happened that night. your flat was on the tenth floor. tell us when you first knew there was a problem.” was asleep on the tenth floor. my son called me at 1:40am, telling me that the tower was burning, and to get out as quickly as possible. i was totally surprised. but soon i

realised that yes, there was something big and very horrible going on. he sent me a small photo on my mobile, showing me that the tower was totally ablaze, up to the last blow. at that moment i realised, ok, you have got to analyse what you are doing and make sure you don‘t do any mistake and find out what the best thing to do is. how were you rescued? i was rescued by two firemen who came to pick me up at six o‘clock. they helped me downstairs, basically. within a couple of minutes we were down. on this anniversary, you went through a terrifying ordeal yourself, but i know from speaking to some of the survivors, people who have lost others, very much the focus is on their well—being today. yes, very much so. we have to think about the families who have lost loved ones and what they are going through. the plane, the sorrow, their lives have been wrecked basically for the rest of their lives. this is a reminder that we do

not want this to happen to anyone in the world, basically. it was really something that was totally avoidable. our aim has something that was totally avoidable. ouraim has got something that was totally avoidable. our aim has got to be that this cannot happen again, never again. you have been attending parts of the inquiry, very deliberately obviously, to hear the testimony of people about what has happened. has your approach being to find out as much as you can about the ordeal? is that part of your own coping mechanism? yes. we want to be curious. we want to see what happens. we want to know the truth. only through this we will get justice as well. we have got to play our part in it as well. we have got to be there continuously, helping them, and giving our testimonies, and making sure that we are there to see what they are doing, to have answers from them, from the political investigation and the public inquiry. sophie, a lot of

this is about the emotional support for those people and there is a ripple effect. antonio, you are talking about your son and the damage it has done to him, trying to help you in that circumstance, but there is also practical help as well and you have been closely involved in that. absolutely. we are based on this estate just yards away from the tower and since the fire we have been providing free legal advice and representation to survivors and the wider community. but it is very complex. we understand that the council has got a difficult job to do. however there have been many issues with its approach which have added to the entrenched mistrust with the council. it has also caused preventable delays. what has been your experience of the help you have received in any way since that time? i have got to say that the volunteers, the local community, the wider community from london as well, it has been exceptional. from day

one they have been helping us, providing us with goods, with everything, support. it was unbelievable. i can never stop to say thank you to them and for everything they did for us, really. people listening to you now, you speak very clearly, about what happened then, what has been the impact on you, do you think? well, our lives, my son‘s life and my life, have been turned upside down over the last year. our secret was to keep busy, deeply moving, to be positive, and to be supportive to others. to keep up the attention and the awareness to the public. basically to play our part, and it is important that when decisions are made by local authorities, don‘t just take them on board. be part of it. raise your voice. ask as a community. be heard. if they had

heard us in the beginning, all of this would not have happened. we tried to raise our voice but we were pushed to the side and look what happened. antonio, that is a message that has come through loud and clear. there were many voices prior to the disaster. today is possibly not the date for political statements. you are saying it is very much about remembering those people but the questions are still out there. absolutely. it is an important point. even now the community does not feel listened to, so community does not feel listened to, soissues community does not feel listened to, so issues around rehousing, feeling under pressure to make really important decisions, and also the fa ct important decisions, and also the fact that we think there haven't been adequate needs assessments. yes, the council have brought properties to rehouse the survivors but a properties to rehouse the survivors buta numberof properties to rehouse the survivors but a number of them are not suitable. they don't match the needs of the household. so issues around access, location. you want to be

close to your children's schools, near the community. every case is individual. for example, i have a client, a survivor who lost five members of herfamily, client, a survivor who lost five members of her family, and she felt under pressure in the initial months to accept a property that was on the ninth floor. first of all that is unsuitable but secondly the council should appreciate that everybody should appreciate that everybody should move at the pace they are comfortable with. such an important point. and people will want to know your circumstances now, antonio?” have been in temporary accommodation forfour months have been in temporary accommodation for four months and i was have been in temporary accommodation forfour months and i was in a have been in temporary accommodation for four months and i was in a hotel for seven and a half months before that. i am waiting for permanent accommodation. we have all been assessed and we have all expressed our needs and our requirements basically. now the sense of health

and safety is very much strong in all of us as well. i did see some flats and i did see some properties, and at my age i am moving into something the rest of my life, so i have analysed everything and you have got to have the gut feeling it is for you. so not high-rise? if it is on the second or third or fourth floor, i want to know, what if something happens? i can imagine smoke coming up, the fire coming from one side, and i want to make sure that i would be able to escape and be safe again basically, just in case. the feeling of being trapped ina case. the feeling of being trapped in a flat, it was like being in a cage. an animal in a cage, basically. yes, i had faith i would make it out, but you are trapped in here. had i been perhaps a couple of floors above, maybe i would not be here talking to you now. we are very grateful for your time and your thoughts this morning. i know it will be a challenging and very important day for you. thank you both very much. we are here

throughout the morning in the shadow of g re nfell tower. throughout the morning in the shadow of grenfell tower. now the news, travel and weather where you are. some strong winds this morning right across the uk but particularly across the uk but particularly across scotland, northern ireland and for north of england. storm hector moving in, quite unusualfor this time of year. there is an amber weather warning from the met office to be prepared for potential damage and disruption in the north and northern ireland. 60—70 mph and perhaps more than that in exposed areas. there wind speeds will potentially bring down trees and cause disruption to your morning travel. heavy rain moving its way through scotland. england and wales the rainbow clearway with bright spells and sunshine in the afternoon. all of us, the winds will

ease out during the afternoon. fresh compared to recent days. temperature is about 17—22. tonight, more showers in the north of the uk. lighter winds elsewhere. clear spells and temperatures 9—13. goodbye. this is business live from bbc news with maryam moshiri and sally bundock. is disney‘s fairy tale over? comcast starts a bidding war with a $65 billion offer for 21 century fox. live from london, that‘s our top story on thursday the 14th ofjune. fox owns some of the world‘s biggest
