a reality check from russia as they are outclassed by uruguay. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. the fire—fighter who first led the response to the grenfell fire has said he wasn't trained in evacuating people from a burning tower block and accepted he hadn't done all the required safety checks on the building before the disaster. at the public inquiry into the fire, michael dowden was forced to repeatedly admit he was unaware of the risks to the tower and had no idea that fires could spread through cladding. his evidence has raised serious questions about london fire brigade‘s procedures and training on tower blocks. our special correspondent lucy manning has been

at the inquiry today. the fire brigade is having to answer for its failure to tell people to be the flats. michael dowden was one of the flats. michael dowden was one of the first firefighters at grenfell and in charge for the first hour. todayit and in charge for the first hour. today it was soon clear that he did not have the right training. did you any receive any specific training on how to evacuate people from high floors in high—rise blocks who had mobility difficulties? not that i can recall, no. government and fire brigade guidelines suggested that commanders could change the policy and consider evacuations. but mister dowden seemed unaware. what training did you ever receive? he paused for

17 seconds. i cannot remember any time that i have been on a training course that would facilitate that. did anyone give you any helpful advice and understanding when it might be necessary to have a full evacuation? i do not thinkl have had an input from any individual. he accepted he had not done all of the safety checks when visiting grenfell the previous year and that they had never practised on high—rise buildings, and that he had not known about the fears of his boss about combustible cladding. peugeot identified a cladding fire if you saw one? no, iwould identified a cladding fire if you saw one? no, i would not be able to identify that, because i did not know at that point that that was being used as a building material. in his written witness statement,

mister dowden said when he arrived at the fire that he was quickly out of his comfort zone and was having to make decisions he had never met before. but he said, we did all they could, we were all exhausted and did oui’ could, we were all exhausted and did our best. mister dowden did not feel well enough to continue his evidence today. he has left serious questions for the fire brigade and the way it between its firefighters. lucy manning, bbc news. mps will decide whether to build a third runway at heathrow airport later — in a vote likely to expose splits in both labour and tory ranks. the spotlight is on foreign secretary borisjohnson, who vowed to lie in front of bulldozers to stop expansion, but is missing the vote because he's abroad. it is widely expected that the expansion plan will get commons backing. our political editor laura kuenssberg has the story. loud with protest today... no ifs, no buts, no third runway! but those sounds could be replaced by the thunder of passengerjets in the years to come. in this village on the western outskirts of london,

parliament was urged to say no. i think what has happened is something that is a disgrace to any civilised country. it makes me feel completely disenfranchised more than anything else. they are just going to knock my house down almost irrespective of what i have said. theresa may, when we had the labour version of this, she was against that, as was philip hammond, another local mp. get into power, whoops, we have changed our mind! after decades of wrangling and those tory promises that it would not happen, the government is onside to expand london's heathrow. it is really important that the promises we make about noise, air quality, about the connections that are going to be provided elsewhere in the united kingdom are kept and set in stone. but not all ministers are on board. the foreign secretary found urgent business in afghanistan, he always vowed he would fight the project. but he was clocking up his own air miles.

yes, flying around the world while objecting to expanding an airport. remember, this is only the equivalent of outlying planning permission. the vote is not about detailed flight paths or any final decision, but it has led to some restyling of the tory party headquarters. big business however is desperate to push on and most mps supported, but parliament's backing might not last under another government. even though many labour mps are behind heathrow... yes, we need airport capacity, yes we need better connectivity between airports. we have put those tests down but they have not been met so we will vote against that. those who want to build will almost certainly win tonight but possible legal action beckons long before detailed plans emerge. this could be the last and that mps have the sea, but on

heathrow and will certainly not be the final word. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. the government has refused to back a scheme to build the world's first tidal power lagoon in swansea bay. developers claimed the project would generate enough clean energy to power 155,000 homes, but ministers today said that it didn't represent value for money. 0ur wales correspondent sian lloyd is in swansea now. what went wrong with this scheme? well, really, fiona, it came down to the money. the government said the sums did not add up. it would have seen a sums did not add up. it would have seen a sea sums did not add up. it would have seen a sea wall stretch out across swa nsea seen a sea wall stretch out across swansea bay behind me for six miles and the shape of a horseshoe and under the water and huge combines have harnessed energy from the would have harnessed energy from the ebb and flow of the tide. the company behind the project tidal lagoon howard said it was intended asa lagoon howard said it was intended as a pilot for the new project but five bigger projects to follow. 18 months ago an independent report commissioned by the uk government

gave candover june thumbs commissioned by the uk government gave candoverjune thumbs up, suggesting they could be cost—effective and the welsh government had pledged £200 million to building this swansea lagoon but the decision rested with westminster and the government said this afternoon and did not provide value for money. welsh assembly members and opposition mps here have branded ita and opposition mps here have branded it a disgrace and a local people in swa nsea it a disgrace and a local people in swansea have said they are disappointed and hope that a substantial tourism and leisure benefit would have come to this area from this lagoon. thank you for that. police injamaica are trying to determine the motive for killing a british couple living on the island. the bodies of charlie and gayle anderson — who were both in their 70s — were discovered on friday by neighbours. they had recently retired to the caribbean from manchester, danny savage has more. gayle and charlie anderson. both in their 70s. both murdered in their home injamaica where they had retired to a few months ago.

they were found dead by neighbours in their home in mount pleasant on friday afternoon. the bodies we observed to have wounds to the neck and face. although we are not able to say at this time what could have caused those injuries. until a few months ago they had lived in this street in manchester. but friends say mrs anderson returned to the uk recently to sort out a money problem. a large amount had been fraudulently taken from their credit card in jamaica. although it is not clear if that has anything to do with the double murder. if you asked them for help, they would go out of their way. former neighbours say the couple would always try and help others. he's been going to local tips, him and his wife, doing little bikes up for the kids injamaica. and taking school books, clothes. they're just really, really nice people. their family says charlie and gayle were happily married for 55 years. in a statement, their sons said, "they were just beginning the next chapter of their lives,

retiring to jamaica before this terrible tragedy." the murder rate in parts ofjamaica is very high. a major investigation is now under way to solve this crime. danny savage, bbc news, manchester. rescue divers in thailand are searching for a group of children believed to have been trapped in a flooded cave in the north of the country since saturday. 12 children aged between 11 and 16, together with their football coach, were exploring inside the cave's narrow tunnels when a section near the main entrance was flooded. their desperate parents have gathered outside the cave as jonathan head reports. thai navy divers are battling strong currents, deep water and mud—blocked passages in the cave complex, as they try to find the missing boys. but they have still not made contact with them. they were reported missing on saturday after a football practice. their bicycles were found left close to the cave entrance.

and the boys posted this photo on facebook, taken just before they went down. the complex stretches for many miles. they have not been able to reach the furthest caves. that is where they hope the party may still be trapped. theirfamilies have been coming to the caves to wait for news. so far, the divers have reached the largest of the underground chambers and they have seen what they believe are handprints on the wall, but nothing else. this area is well known to experienced cavers and is a popular destination during thailand's dry season. but with heavy monsoon rains falling here already for several weeks, going deep into the caves now was a risky thing to do. jonathan head, bbc news, bangkok. the duke of cambridge has become the first member of the royal family to make an official visit to israel.

he landed in tel aviv earlier, before heading to jerusalem. his four—day trip to the region will include a visit to the occupied palestinian territories. 111 million people tuned in to watch england in their record—breaking win against panama yesterday. today the team are back at theirtraining camp, happy in the knowledge they're already guaranteed a place in the knockout stages. 0ur sports editor dan roan reports from the england camp in repino. and england supporters are loving life in the nizhny sunshine! it was an england win like no other. the team's 6—1 demolition of panama their biggest ever world cup victory. expectations may have been low coming into the tournament, not after nizhny. this morning the squad were back training, safely through to the next round of the competition with a game to spare. sterner tests are to come, but optimism is building. we need to embrace the good stuff now. the team are playing very well. we are enjoying watching them.

and let's enjoy the ride. as long as it lasts. but, you know, we do have potential in this tournament, i don't think we should underplay ourselves any more. in reality, we can go very far. if england finished top of their group and then reached the quarterfinals, serial winners germany and brazil may lie in wait. finishing second could mean an easier route with mexico and switzerland possible last eight opponents. to reach that far, england now know they will have to overcome one ofjapan, senegal or columbia. first up, however, is an impressive belgian side in the final group game on thursday. nothing separates the two teams at the moment, so how should england approach the crash in kaliningrad? just win your game. i think for bragging rights and everything else. it's nice to go into the knockout phase having won three games or unbeaten. more than 111 million people watched the game, at 83%, one of the largest peak shares in british tv history. just imagine what would happen if england continue to progress. these are still early days, just two

matches in, but there is growing optimism about this england team and the way that the play and they entire demeanour, and no matter how far they go entire demeanour, and no matter how farthey go in entire demeanour, and no matter how far they go in this world cup, there is no doubt that that as of last night has helped reconnect them with their long—suffering fans. night has helped reconnect them with their long-suffering fans. thank you for that. i probably don't need to tell you but it has been the hottest day of the year so far. it's been warmer than athens and miami as temperatures have soared to 30 degrees centigrade. the met office says the heatwave is expected to last all week and, brace yourselves, we could see hotter days to come. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. yes, you have done myjob there, fiona. it will be dryjust about everywhere. still hot and lots of sunshine around. strong sunshine with high uv levels. this evening,

some late sunshine to enjoy and overnight clear skies. you can see some extra cloud beginning to move into some of these north sea coast and the east of scotland and england. a warm night, particularly for the southend west. tomorrow then, for the vast majority it is then, for the vast majority it is the same once more. blue skies overhead, strong sunshine, but some of these eastern coasts will be played by clouds and resulting lee, the lighter colours you can see are are the lower temperatures. the midlands and wales could get 27 or 28 degrees. the small chance of the light shower in northern ireland, the majority will be dry. it is looking pretty much the same for wednesday, long spells of sunshine with some areas of cloud near the east coast. an easterly breeze so hull and knowledge getting 21, 20 2 degrees. glasgow and edinburgh at 28. it remains right for the end of the week and get as hot as well. fiona.

how lovely, thank you. that is all, no one bbc one, we canjoin the bbc news teams where you are. goodbye. 70 minutes per sector about the main story resume, the future of london bowen heathrow airport. mps are debating whether or not to approve controversial plans to build a third runway. the conservatives have been worked to support the expansion and labour is giving a free vote although it the official line is to oppose the scheme. let's such trust chief political correspondent. the government are pretty confident they can win in this boot. the decision that some would say has been shied away from for several decades. the snp and the last few minutes have said they are going to abstain on this vote. the snp government in scotla nd this vote. the snp government in scotland is in favour of the expansion but members here say they have been convinced that will be good for scotland but are now saying they were abstain and that will mean

they were abstain and that will mean the government will be pretty confident they can get through. the transport secretary chris grayling has been on his feet for the last 20 minutes kicking off this debate and making the case for why this leg and the government wants to go ahead with the expansion. all five of london's mania possible be fooled by the midst 20 20s. what is happening is that we are seeing a business and leave the united kingdom and go to airports like frankfort and amsterdam and paris that have made additional capacity provision. you can set here and watch planes flying overhead from the united kingdom so that uk business passengers can go to amsterdam and fly around the world. we are losing those connections to other countries and we are losing the investment that goes around those connections. that isa goes around those connections. that is a really important part of why this expansion is necessary. is a really important part of why this expansion is necessarylj is a really important part of why this expansion is necessary. i am joined by the modern conservative

mp. i do think this expansion has to go ahead many people saying it will bea go ahead many people saying it will be a matter problem when it comes to pollution and will mean we miss all the targets when it comes to emissions. we have been thinking about this for over a decade i think it is about time we get on with it. it'll be fantastic for jobs across the country as it cements heathrow‘s place as a global hub and canada's business to invest more. good news for londoners and the country. on the question of air quality, the final planning permission which will be given in due course will have a quality studies to make sure air quality studies to make sure air quality has - taking care of by quality has been taking care of by their permission or a car pollution ora their permission or a car pollution or a very small proportion, less than 3% of c02 or a very small proportion, less than 3% of co2 emissions. what is important is to make sure people get to heathrow on environmentally friendly forms of transport so the new crossrail is important in making

sure the rail network has investment to get people onto the train to airports rather than in cars which will help the quality problem. there will help the quality problem. there will be some around the rest of the uk saying this is another example of a huge amount of money going to the south—east, more expansion for the southeast and encouraging more people into an area that is already crowded, why not put that investment elsewhere? the rest of the country has things like djs to dail . heathrow is having all money, private investment and making it into a global hub will help regional airports. the reason the snp government supports this and my collea g u es government supports this and my colleagues from cornwall and leeds and elsewhere is because they know that those regional airports in those places will get more landing slots coming into heathrow to connect with transatlantic and international flights so it is good for the entire country, for

scotland, cornwall and everywhere, not just for scotland, cornwall and everywhere, notjust for london. scotland, cornwall and everywhere, not just for london. what scotland, cornwall and everywhere, notjust for london. what about borisjohnson who said he would lie down in front of bulldozers to stop it? it turns out he is not even here to vote against a letter warns that the front of bulldozers. it is our turn to make his decisions, he's in afghanistan meeting with senior members of the government and clearly as foreign secretary is important that she flies the flag around the world to represent us and it is duty calls to afghanistan then i understand that and i am sure will ali other people will as well. thank you. that debate is ongoing, the house divided so people intervening on the transport secretary to make their points and the bottle, 10pm. the vote four, the shadow transport secretary was exploding while labour —— was

explaining why liberal oppose. the snp decision in your last few minutes needed is likely to be the government's night tonight. president erdogan of turkey as they gained power in turkey and the leader of the opposition has said it was not a fair contest. never before in a decade has an election race been so tight in turkey, but president recep tayyip erdogan's supporters did not disappoint him. this vote—winning machine in turkey held on to power, despite a fierce opposition campaign. translation: one nation, one flag, one country, and one state. for this, we will be one. but the primary challenge he faces is just that,

bringing the nation together. this country feels more polarised than ever. mr erdogan is either despised or adored. he will now assume sweeping new powers such as appointing his cabinet, his vice presidents, and even seniorjudges. that concerns the opposition. president erdogan's main rival muharrem ince warned today that turkey was entering a dangerous regime of one—man rule. he called on mr erdogan to embrace the whole nation. translation: president erdogan, from now on please don't act like you are the leader of the akp. bring people together. be the president for the 81 million people. i suggest you use my campaign slogan, everyone's president. president erdogan's governing akp lost seats in parliament but will still be able to secure a majority with the help of the nationalist party, who did much better in the election than expected. since the failed coup in 2016 over 100,000 public workers have

been dismissed or sacked from their posts. more than 50,000 were arrested. 90% of the media here in turkey is controlled directly or indirectly by the government. president erdogan is adamant that turkish democracy is strong, and the huge turnout yesterday proved it. the first detailed figures on the number of students in higher education have taken their own lives has been published. they reveal that suicide rates among students are higher than they were a decade ago with the number of young men taking their own lives higher than that of women. 95 students took their own lives between july 2016 and july 2017. but the student suicide rates are lower than those for the general population. chi chi izundu reports. since the 1950s there hasn't been robust data into student suicides.

but the office for national statistics and the higher education statistics agency have worked together to find out the rates for those specifically in higher education. in the last 12 months leading up tojuly 2017, 95 students took their own lives in england and wales. the report found that in the last ten years the rate of suicide among students has increased slightly but overall the numbers dying by suicide is lower than the national average of the same age. we believe that every student suicide is at some point preventable. and we are asking universities to step up to prioritise this and to work with us to help prevent these deaths. in the last year before i went to uni i began to struggle more with depression. in herfirst year, 20—year—old rebecca struggled with her mental health at university and tried to take her own life. she now wants more to be done to help support students just like her. i still do think universities could do more especially for people who have got more longer term mental health difficulties that are not just caused by a sudden

event and can kind of be fixed quite quickly. the report which looked at death certificates and the verdicts given at inquests, also found that suicides amongst male students was higher than female. with half of all young people now going to university, the charity student mind says the the onus of help and support should notjust be on the nhs. we see that move towards a whole university approach where everybody from the front line cleaners through to academics through to students themselves feel they are better equipped with the knowledge and confidence and skills to support their own mental health and support others. the number of students disclosing mental health problems has increased fivefold in a decade as has the call for universities to work more actively to help prevent suicides. chi chi izundu, bbc news. if you would like information regarding issues raised
