8:03 pm
12:54 in the morning, the tower itself in west london was lit up in green, a colour worn by so many today in honour of all those affected by the tragedy. in the past hour, hundreds of people have been taking part in a silent walk. they have been shaking hands with some of the firefighters to lay down their helmets as a tribute to those who were killed and injured. it has happened on the 14th of every month since then. on this one—year anniversary, hundreds and hundreds of people taking part and many of them wearing green. lucy manning reports from west london on a day of memories and strong emotions. in the middle of the night, grenfell lit up the sky. last year, the horror

of the flames, now green to commemorate the tragedy. last year, they gathered at the foot of the tower, helpless. now, they stood in the same place to remember. # we all need somebody to lean on. words from the koran. many of the last words that night were prayers. and then, the 72 names. victoria king. fatima choucair, nadia choucair. forever in our hearts. a year ago, there was the fire, the screams from inside
8:05 pm
and the cries from out. today, silence. the survivors and the bereaved werejoined by singers adele and stormzy. but this was about people who had lived and lost here. some came with flowers, others with messages. the day after the fire we met this man, and today he came to remember his mother, father, sister and two brothers. from having a family to not having a family at all is a big change. their absence is a big thing that
8:06 pm
i've been left with to deal with for the rest of my life and it's extremely painful and i miss them dearly every day. last year we also met this lady, desperate for news. he lost his cousin, her husband and their baby. on the day of the fire we were just running around trying to find relatives. you saw me on the day. but it was the aftermath. in the aftermath, this whole community came together. what do you think the grenfell community have achieved a year on? a desire to make sure this never happens again. at a local church, otherfamilies who lost children, parents, sisters and brothers heard calls for healing and justice. they have mourned here as a community from the day of the fire, supporting each other, when those who should have done, failed.
8:07 pm
at this primary, they lost 12 past and present pupils and a teacher. those who have died are always remembered. we pray for those who have lost their homes. how does a school cope after this? with difficulty. it was a day of dignity, but their campaign for answers doesn't end here. amongst the crowds at tonight's march is the labour leader, jeremy corbyn who gave his thoughts on today's events. icame to i came to the very spot right after the fire. over there. i came to the very spot right after the fire. overthere. it i came to the very spot right after the fire. over there. it was still burning. over here we had food
8:08 pm
stalls and in the community centre there were people giving support to there were people giving support to the firefighters and the endless workers, and the stress and the shear exhaustion of them was so palpable. the commemoration is very important. we never forget. obviously those who died in the fire, but the pain that families are still going through because to lose somebody in a fire that was in truth, wholly preventable, is very ha rd truth, wholly preventable, is very hard for anybody to go with and sadly, and a motherfamilies have still not been a greenhouse. they should have been. that's rodina anybody families. —— a number of the families. the government's compromise to avoid a commons defeat on brexit has been rejected as "unacceptable" by leading remainer dominic grieve. theresa may had convinced most rebels, who want mps to have the final say on the final brexit deal, to back her in a key vote on tuesday night by giving them assurances. our political editor
8:09 pm
laura kuennsberg has more details. theresa may you might remember a voided a big defeat in the house of commons over the idea of giving parliament more power if the brexit deal goes sour. but she only got through that and avoided a defeat by promising a compromise. that compromise was published at 5pm and remain attending for rebels are curious and they should economize is not acceptable and were they even consulted on the final version. the brexiteers say something very different and they don't necessarily like it but the government has got to get on with it. but with all of these theresa amongst may has been accused of trying to keep both sides on board. perhaps by disappointing remainers tonight, she has finally picked one side. but now the lines are drawn. for the big showdown with this all comes back to parliament next week. it is to your opinion you
8:10 pm
again in the uk that are meant to be having a political divorce to bring. -- it is having a political divorce to bring. —— it is the european union and the uk. during the time to come it feels sometimes like it is the two sides of the tory party who are actually in these kinds of better dreadful negotiations. theresa may was asked about the government's proposal.as she arrived at an event in whitehall, have you gone back on your word, prime minister? are rebels right to feel let down? not saying very much. another leading conservative rebel, anna soubry has expressed her anger at the government's decision. i believe as many of my colleague stated that the prime minister agreed to that, so on tuesday, we
8:11 pm
didn't push it to a vote, we met the prime minister and the agreement was that that dominic grieve, a former attorney general vote would go and he would negotiate with people from the government and come out with an amendment to the eu withdrawal bill that actually delivered exactly that. in the event of no deal, there would be a poet and meaningful boat and a debate in parliament. that was what was agreed. unfortunately, i am having reached an agreement, dominic grieve and the solicitor general and others reached an agreement data steadily on change. which is the way things sometimes happen. the apollo things sometimes happen. the apollo thing is is that nobody actually spoke to dominic grieve before they put an table that amendment at five o'clock this evening. i think that is unforgivable. you don't behave like this. i am very disappointed. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:40
8:12 pm
this evening in the papers — our guests joining me tonight are political correspondent of the spectator, katy balls and the independent‘s political editor, joe watts. both of them well qualified to give analysis of that latest british fight. and of course all the other stories covered in the papers. rolls—royce is to cut more than four and a half thousand jobs in a major reorganisation. the company says middle management and office staff posts at its headquarters in derby are facing many of the cuts over the next two years. our business editor simon jack reports from derby. at rolls—royce headquarters in derby this lunchtime, workers were tight—lipped about the news of massive job cuts. i don't suppose you would have a quick word for the bbc? tell us about how things are feeling. sorry, we've been asked not to. you've been asked not to. but the chief executive was talking about why radical cost—cutting was necessary.
8:13 pm
this is a very difficult decision. we were trying to create a stronger rolls—royce which is good for derby and good for the uk and will provide employment in derby and other places in the uk for many years to come. a total of 4,600 jobs are going out of a workforce of 55,000 around the world. derby is home to nearly 16,000 of them, where most of the cuts will be felt. the axe is falling on middle management and support roles. in derby city centre, it was clear how close the ties are between company and community. derby is very proud of rolls—royce as a business and a company. it is worldwide. it's a shame. shops are closing all over the place. lots of people are losing jobs and losing their livelihood. i think rolls—royce will just add to the misery. they say it's management, but 4,600 jobs is still not good news for derby.
8:14 pm
the whole family, my grandad worked there. everybody we know worked there. it's the main hub of derby's employment, really. it's close to our hearts. labour says workers will need support from the company and the government. we want assurances that there will not be compulsory redundancies and that they will use all of their efforts to redeploy staff and find them alternative work elsewhere whilst working with the government in terms of supporting them going forward. rolls—royce made nearly £5 billion in profit last year. it has a bulging order book and it also has serious problems with some of its flagship engine products. so some are wondering whether now is the right time to push through such a radical and potentially disruptive restructuring programme. if we postpone this now, we will be missing out on the next design opportunities as they come along. if you miss out on these design windows, you're out of the business for the next 25 to 30 years.
8:15 pm
that would mean lots ofjob losses. future generations may be grateful. that is little comfort to thousands of current workers facing redundancy. simonjack, bbc news, derby. the headlines on bbc news: a year on since the grenfell fire, residents in west london have taken part in a silent march to remember the 72 people who died. a government compromise amendment on brexit, aimed at avoiding a defeat in the commons, has been described as ‘unacceptable‘ by pro eu conservatives. more than four and a half thousand jobs to be cut at rolls royce in a major reorganisation, to save hundreds of millions of pounds. sport now, and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's sarah. the world cup kicking off to russia
8:16 pm
with a big win. well what a start it was for hosts russia at the world cup today. they kicked off the tournament in impressive fashion, defying their lowly ranking and recent poor run of form, to win five nil against saudi arabia at the luzhnicki stadium in moscow. and that scoreline was the biggest win by a host nation in an opening game at the tournament since 193a. and before all those goals, we also had the opening ceremony to kick off the 21st, fifa world cup. adam wild reports. after a ll after all the waiting and the anticipating finally russia's moment to welcome the world. but before the real entertainment that was the real entertainer, robbie williams providing a little english swagger. make no mistake, this was russian show vladimir putin set the stage with the greetings. against saudi arabia this was his nation's time to
8:17 pm
perform. pride can take a side. there is no shortage of that here. here's the opening game opening moment, it seems all a russia had been waiting for. with much talk of politics, this was now international diplomacy the world cup way. it's very tough day for the striker. injured and his race was run. with this matter so often, comes opportunity. this was his replacement. taking this to know before half—time. in truth, saudi arabia offered little suggest they would interrupt his russian party, chances of scars and never taken. the host meanwhile, they were beginning to enjoy themselves. finding the space here to score a third goal. when things could barely get a much better, the chemical that could barely be better. a goal worthy of russian football biggest day. betting that the final moment
8:18 pm
again but long to them. alexander, what can you say? russia's world cup has begun and in some style. so a convincing win and start to the tournament for the hosts, but how much did we really learn about them. conor mcnamara was commentating on the game for bbc radio five live alongside former england international dion dublin. the tests are going to get much harder and much quickly for the russians because next is egypt. if mo salah is that the plane again. and the defenders. they were never challenging for pace. they would be against somebody like him. do you think they would struggle?” against somebody like him. do you think they would struggle? i think there's possibly more chinks in the armour of the russians. they were not tested at all tonight. everything in the final third, saudi arabia tried to do, they took the wrong decision. we were are still watching the replays here. i can't
8:19 pm
believe some of the defendant of the saudi arabians. mass everly care for the russians. in the past, if they never played in the opening game, the host has never been beaten in the host has never been beaten in the opening game. russia, they have outdone themselves here. they have not been beaten and have beaten saudi arabia by five goals! it is a score line that really kick starts the atmosphere here in russia at the very start to the world cup. england begin their campaign on monday against tunisia. tottenham full back kieran trippier is expected to start his forst world cup finals match at right wing back, and he says after all the preparation, gareth southgate's men can't wait to get started. we are busy. a lot of activity to do. we all get along, which is most important. all the other lads are just looked over to the first game now. we have to keypress opposite. we know it will be tough. have analysed them and their strength and
8:20 pm
wea knesses analysed them and their strength and weaknesses and how we can exploit them. it will be a tough game but we are looking forward to it. british number one johanna konta says she feels fortunate to have beaten compatriot heather watson in straight sets at the nottingham open. konta was taken to a tie break in the second set and it took an hour and 39 minutes to get past watson, who's currently ranked 69 places lower. konta will face da—lila jaku—povic from slovenia in the quarter final. onto rugby league and joel tomkins has been speaking today about his controversial move from wigan to hull kingston rovers. tomkins left wigan after a video of him being drunk and abusive to bar staff appeared on social media. he admits he made a huge mistake. i have a point to prove. to all of oui’ i have a point to prove. to all of ourfans and i have a point to prove. to all of our fans and fellow players to earn the respect. i have inadequate to prove to do with the incident that
8:21 pm
happened. that was a article i—hopper incident i commented about. it was a huge mistake which i made. —— a one—off incident. i am not proud of that. i said sorry. i will move on from it now. rory mcilroy is one of many players to have fallen victim to the windy conditions at the us open. the northern irishman is ten over par after his first round at shinnecock hills. good news for england's ian poulter. he shares the clubhouse lead with the usa's scott piercy on one under. but it was the 201! champion mcilroy, along with his playing partners phil mickleson and jordan speith, who really struggled. mcilroy with seven bogeys and three double bogeys in his round of 80. russell henley the leader on the course, on 3 under. that is all the sport for now. you can that is all the sport for now. you ca n follow that is all the sport for now. you can follow the golf with the live updates on the bbc sport website. a
8:22 pm
lot more there across today. that is it for now. thank you, sarah. the government is to relax immigration rules, to allow more skilled workers from outside the eu into the uk. the home office is expected to confirm that foreign doctors and nurses will be excluded from the government's visa cap, in february, nhs england had many thousands of vacancies for both doctors and nurses. our political correspondent jonathan blake reports. working hard under pressure, but there just aren't enough doctors and nurses. hospitals across england are badly short—staffed. in february, nhs england had 35,000 vacancies for nurses, and nearly 10,000 doctors' posts unfilled. we have got substantial demand pressures on the nhs, an ageing population, and more patients needing health care services. also it is linked to a decision in 2010 when austerity hit, to restrict the number of nurses and doctors being trained in the nhs to meet that demand, which is why we have got so many
8:23 pm
vacancies across the nhs at the moment. the prime minister knows the health service relies heavily on workers from abroad, but for years, the numbers coming have been restricted. it was theresa may as home secretary who set a limit on tier 2 visas for skilled workers from outside the eu, atjust under 21,000 per year, part of a broader approach to restrict immigration. we will reduce net migration from the hundreds of thousands to the tens of thousands. it will not be easy. it will take hard work and a great deal of political courage. but the british people want us to do it, and it is the right thing to do, so we will do it. more doctors and nurses are being trained in the uk. but that will take time. and beyond the need to fill gaps in the health service, is this relaxation of the rules more than just a possible quick fix? i think there is a total change in approach with sajid javid and the prime minister. without her approval, none of this would be happening.
8:24 pm
it is a point to get across that, just because we are leaving the eu, it doesn't mean we are anti—immigration, we are not, we have to be flexible. we are told the prime minister is enthusiastic about this plan to fill staffing gaps in the nhs short—term. what is much less clear is how far this move reflects any broader shift in government policy on immigration, and what its long—term plan might be. jonathan blake, bbc news, westminster. older people are ending up in hospital as a direct result of cuts to social care spending in england, that's according to the institute for fiscal studies. they estimate that a drop council in spending over recent years has led to one additional visit to accident and emergency for every ten people aged 65 and over. in the final part of our series looking at the difficulties faced by those needing care and those providing it, our social affairs correspondent alison holt has been to lancashire. accident and emergency
8:25 pm
is the front door of pressure for the health service, the place where more people are turning in a crisis. many are elderly. the doctor's got to give us the all—clear. and that has a knock—on effect on the whole hospital, as they know well at the royal blackburn in lancashire. here, they have an ambulance arriving on average every nine minutes. it's a sign of the sheer pressure the system is under. we are seeing a rise in the numbers, and a typical day across our emergency department and urgent care centres will see 550—600 people a day. the demand for hospital beds is constant. to ease the pressure, effort is going into providing the support patients need to recuperate at home. like 72—year—old john mellor, whose bag is packed ready for him to leave. he's been in hospitalfor nearly nine days after a stroke. if we need to put any services in, you ought to be able to make yourself a cup of tea and a cake and you'll be fine at home. far better, i think, going home to somewhere you know
8:26 pm
where everything is and, you know, you can work better that way. your mind works better. how were you managing at home? with council, social workers and nhs specialists working together, they're doing well at preventing people becoming stuck in hospital. the team heads to see an elderly man who's been admitted several times. there's the possibility of dementia. you hang on here. let's just go and make these phone calls and have a conversation and we'll come back to you. they think his family is struggling and more help at home might have stopped him coming in in the first place. we've planned with our mental health colleagues to get a plan that will keep him at home safely and ensure that he stays at home rather than coming back. staff are arriving for a meeting with the head of lancashire's care services. it is to praise them for the work they are doing, but like most council bosses,
8:27 pm
he worries about how he will find the long term money needed to meet the growing demand for services before people reach a crisis. i think it's constant pressures all the time. we can't simply go faster and faster on the current model. we know we have to do a lot more in order to staunch some of the flow into the hospital and make sure we are supporting people in the community. pressure is being felt across the care system, as we've seen first hand this week. we are absolutely in crisis. the costs for those who pay for themselves... i hope i don't live to be 100, as by then i'll be broke. and the frustrations of those who provide the care... people look at you and think "you're a care worker, you just wipe bums". the government promises a green paper will set out its plans to reform the care system this summer, but what of the difficulties people face now? isn't this a crisis? it's certainly a situation under a lot of pressure. we can't afford to play party
8:28 pm
political games with this any more. we have to address this situation. the quality of lives depends upon this. lots of talk about more money for the nhs on its 70th birthday. will there be more money for the care system at the same time? we need more money for the care system. we need it. will it come at the same time? well, you'll have to wait and see what comes out in the green paper, but if we address the funding issues of the nhs without addressing social care issues, it's like running a bath with the plug out. and those we've met who either need care or who provide it will be waiting to see what that means for them. alison holt, bbc news. the time isjust the time is just approaching half past eight. let's look at the weather now. weather with louise lear. hello everyone start by thursday morning wet and windy at times. this
8:29 pm
is not really the kind of weather we picture i would to show you for earlyjune picture i would to show you for early june but we picture i would to show you for earlyjune but we saw dust of winds in the east coast of northern ireland in excess of 70 miles an hour. at storm hector continues to pass its way to the door. it is off nicely and things will quiet down. we would just see a cluster of showers through northern ireland and perhaps across much of west scotland. elsewhere, clear skies allowing temperatures to fall away. it does look as though temperatures will be more comfortable for sleeping with close to eight to 13 degrees. we start off tomorrow morning on a quiet note. it will be dry, some sunshine coming through across the south and showers continued to confine themselves into the far north. breezy at times and a cooler and fresh feel for top temperatures of around 1a to 17 acres. in some time for the south, 21 or 22. acres. in some time for the south, 21 or22. —— in the acres. in some time for the south, 21 or 22. —— in the sunshine for the south. this is bbc news, our latest headlines. a year on since the grenfell fire,
8:30 pm
residents in west london have taken part in a silent march to remember the 72 people who died. events have been taking place across the day , including a memorial service and national silence to remember the victims. a government compromise amendment on brexit, aimed at avoiding a defeat in the commons, has been described as ‘unacceptable' by pro eu conservatives. more than four and a half thousand jobs to be cut at rolls royce in a major reorganisation to save hundreds of millions of pounds. let's get more now on the grenfell fire memorial events in west london. a primary school which lost three of its pupils, former students and one member of staff in the fire held a special service. aysha buksh has more. good morning everyone. last year my
8:31 pm
family and! good morning everyone. last year my family and i unfortunately lost our home in the rental disaster. sometimes it's hard to be happy when you're feeling so sad that we can support each other with a smile. this was no ordinary assembly. even gail parker and mary school and nursery was just straightaway from g re nfell tower, nursery was just straightaway from grenfell tower, so today was always just going to be painful. singing. the sadness felt by people, staff, and parents with huge, but they came together to comfort each other. all all all, please tell them that forever they will be in our
8:32 pm
hearts. out of 72 people that died in the fire, 12 had close connections that his school. one was teacher, not and two of her daughters were also pupils. this morning was so beautiful, so heart touching, amazingly put together. another pupil who died with a 6—year—old from the 22nd floor. breaux very friendly and —— caring, so breaux very friendly and —— caring, soi breaux very friendly and —— caring, so i asked them if they want to ride my bike! so i asked them if they want to ride my bike i said yes. trying to explain your feelings to someone else like your parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, so they can know what you feel like an bigotry and support you. want do people remember about g re nfell tower you. want do people remember about grenfell tower fire? what are your hopes for the future? that nobody forgets it because it shouldn't be forgotten. and that we just keep
8:33 pm
moving forward but not forgetting. i've been so so prized just such strength they had shown from all ages you know, obviously they have very difficult days at times. we all do. they're scared, frightened, angry, there sat the, they're shocked but i can't remember anyone saying you now, i hate, i don't like where i live. they seem to have understood that they have got to get on with things and i really am amazed actually. some of these children are still living in temporary accommodation and the headteacher says that is incredibly disruptive for them at their young age. however, the school will going forward and continue to give them the structure and support that they need. there have been many acts of solidarity across the local community — but last night in an unusual show of support a tube driver expressed his support.
8:34 pm
harvey mitchell stopped his packed train near to latimer road and waved a green flag to hundreds gathered for an event remembering the 72 victims. he's spoken to the bbc about why he did this. my my pleasure. my pleasure. the thanks keep coming for harvey mitchell. more than welcome. in april of the moment decision last night, he stopped his train and race off ride in tribute to run felt what of the dems. most of the people who lost their lives, they came through this station, seven days a week. i mean stopping and giving away is just showing the representation of the community and i hope they get stronger from community and i hope they get strongerfrom doing community and i hope they get stronger from doing that. party knows a lot of people in the area, dave —— he lived near grenfell for more than a0 years and was good friends with a man he called moses died in the fire. raymond bernard did on the 23rd floor. what do you
8:35 pm
think he would have made your action? moses would laugh at it because moses always is a nice guy and he always is smiling. though he would laugh at it now so wherever he is now, he's smiling. london underground support harvey's tribute but he's been really surprised by the wider reaction, not all positive. 72 people lost their lives, the people who complain shows you what kind of life they live and we should be at. but my brethren, i hope that today showing the amount of people on the solidarity would help them to heal their grief and pain. his flag stayed with him today, a personal gesture in a community that will always remember his victims. two days after the historic summit between president trump and north korean leader kimjong un — the us secretary of state has been visiting key figures in the region.
8:36 pm
today mike pompeo met with chinese president xi jinping and other leaders in beijing— explaining what came out of the meeting in singapore. mr pompeo stressed again that complete denuclearisation was the aim and until that happens sanctions must stay in place to apply pressure. japan, the republic of korea and china have acknowledged that we turned the corner and we have begun a process away from the threat of warand a process away from the threat of war and towards these on the peninsula. each of those three countries to have acknowledged the importance of the work that president trump has undertaken and the commitment that kim jong—un has made towards library and to achieve the denuclearization. each of those three countries has also acknowledged it's important that the regime that is in place today remain in place until such time as that
8:37 pm
denuclearization is in fact complete. the us state of new york is taking president trump's charitable foundation to court for what it calls "persistent illegal conduct" — including supporting his election campaign. it's asked for the trump foundation to be dissolved , and for the president, his sons donald junior, and eric, and his daughter ivanka to be banned from holding roles with new york charities. the trump foundation has issued a statement denying the charges. president trump blamed what he called sleazy new york democrats for the case and said he would not settle. political analyst, ron christie , who advised president george w bush , thinks attacks by mr trump , are unwise. i think it's potentially very damaging for the president of the united states to be in a lawsuit with the state of new york and the allegations that have been raised in this lawsuit are very serious and alleged criminal conduct. i don't the president and his family want
8:38 pm
this sort of attention and eight yet another distraction to his administration. moving forward the attorney general of new york want mr trump to pay a fine of up to two points $8 million, they want the foundation to be disbanded, they also want to seek to have mr trump barred from serving on a charitable board for a number of years and this lawsuit also names his children and also seeks to have the children are brought to a year of serving on boards as well. so, you are not going to see anyjail time here, you are talking potentially $3 million of damages as well as barring them from serving a charitable works in the future. that's our political a nalyst. the number of people cautioned or convicted for knife crime in england and wales has risen to its highest level for seven years more than 21,000 knife and offensive weapon offences were dealt with in the 12 months ending in march. the proportion of first—time offenders caught, has gone up in each of the last five years and is now 72%. it's highly unusualfor a gp to say they no longer
8:39 pm
want to see a patient, but one woman in her 60s from lincolnshire, with severe health problems, has been told she's been taken off the books of two surgeries. elizabeth butterfield was contacted to be told that they were no longer prepared to deal with her constant abuse. but she denies those claims, and insists she's done nothing wrong. nicola gilroy has the story. it's one of a few part —— private relationships built on trust and understanding down the decades. our right. but the doctor also have a right. but the doctor also have a right. i write in some circumstances not to see you. so, how did a patient in need find herself removed from not one surgery, but to? i'm being accused of things that i'm not guilty of like some prisoner. that you hear about, i'm not like that.
8:40 pm
