today at five — the clock is ticking — eu leaders warn the prime minister time is running out to secure a brexit deal. as leaders arrive in brussels for crucial talks — theresa may reaffirms her commitment to continue brexit talks at a faster pace. i look forward to talking with fellow leaders about the very good progress we have made on the withdrawal agreement and looking forward to securing our strong future partnership which i believe is in the interests of both of the eu and the uk. but for the other 27 countries — the summit is expected to be dominated by the search for a solution to the migrant crisis. we'll have the latest from brussels — and we'll be talking to the irish eu minister. the other main stories on bbc news at five. england expects — gareth southgate‘s men prepare for their crunch world cup group game against belgium in kaliningrad. at the stadium here the fans are

starting to arrive and the excitement is starting to mount. 100 soldiers help to tackle the blaze on saddleworth moor as fire chiefs warn the fire may not be put out for weeks. the reason you can see it burning behind us is because over the course of the fire it goes further down into the peat and once it is down there it is very difficult without liquid to get in and under to put the fire out. the uk tolerated the "inexcusable" treatment of us detainees after the 9/11 attacks — mps find. the amount of taxpayers‘ money spent on the queen increases — partly down to refurbishment works at buckingham palace. and the heatwave continues — it's the hottest day of the year in porthmadog in wales as temperatures reach 32.6 degrees. our main story at 5 — theresa may is in brussels

for a summit — where she is expected to update eu leaders on the latest brexit negotiations. the irish prime minister, leo varadkhar, has said he's disappointed by the lack of progress so far — and urged the uk to "soften its red lines" in order to secure a deal. but for the other 27 member countries, it's not brexit but the issue of migration that's their main focus: an issue that germany's angela merkel has warned could determine the entire future of the european union. this report is from our correspondent charlotte gallagher. dancing to protest against brexit but eu leaders meeting in brussels

just want some movement, any movement on the negotiations. that is responsibility all sides and we as the 27 member states are willing to be more flexible but in order to be flexible the uk needs to soft and some of its red lines. britain was ‘s japan some of its red lines. britain was ‘sjapan and a some of its red lines. britain was ‘s japan and a cause of frustration. ido ‘s japan and a cause of frustration. i do not have two lecture theresa may but i would like to make clear the position, we think, one with a split capital, they have to say what they want. for the prime minister under pressure both home and away a bit of light relief with the present from the belgian prime minister and what could be a difficult summit. i look forward to talking with fellow leaders about the very good progress we have made on the withdrawal agreement and looking forward to securing our strong future partnership

which i believe is in the interests of both of the eu and the uk. the of both of the eu and the uk. leaders are not in br focus the leaders are not in brussels to focus on brexit but another issue thatis focus on brexit but another issue that is straining relations in the block, migration. a debate that has been given more urgency because of the political situation in germany and the new anti—migrant government and the new anti—migrant government and italy. many fewer people are arriving on europe's shores competitively migrant crisis of this to prevent another one that is causing disagreements. that'll be the subject of a long and divisive dinner tonight, already the italian prime minister has threatened to veto a ny prime minister has threatened to veto any summit statement on migration of fellow leaders fail to do more to help bitterly cold. theresa may —— to help bitterly

cold. a lack of progress means brexit will be the starter not the main meal. we can now cross to brussels, where we can talk to ireland's minister of state for european affairs, helen mcentee. thank you forjoining us. the latter has said that time for a deal is running out, is that how you see it? we have talked we would see further progress at this summit in terms of the irish backstop and we have seen some progress which will be reflected to model but eu have been cleared and theresa may has been cleared and theresa may has been clear in saying that both the irish backstop there can be no overall withdrawal agreement. we have talked to see sufficient progress, the commitments made before christmas but unfortunately none of seen any so but unfortunately none of seen any so what we need now to happen over

the summer as negotiations to intensify to make sure that come october which is the deadline that we actually have translated into a legally operational text the commitments that were made at christmas and then again in march i theresa may and the uk government. theresa may and the uk government. the northern ireland secretary said that the government plans for ensuring frictionless trade across the border will be published next month, added confidence that there isa month, added confidence that there is a solution that can avoid a hard border? absolutely. the eu has put forward our view as to what that solution would be and it was translated from the text which was agreed before christmas in terms of avoiding a hard border, because as possible. but we need to ensure that it is not just possible. but we need to ensure that it is notjust north and south, ireland wants to have as frictionless a border east and west as well and they think the uk want the same outcome with its relationship with the whole of the eu so that's what we need to work towards. our first preference

eu so that's what we need to work towards. ourfirst preference has a lwa ys towards. ourfirst preference has always been to solve the irish issue through the wider relationship and the future literature between the uk and eu and obvious and we're waiting to see what theresa may and the cabinet will produce in terms of the white paper and what the uk's viewers as to what the future relationship should look like. i think it is two years on and be what to know what kind of relationship the uk what's with the eu and certainly we want to work with them to make sure we can continue in the manner we have a45 years to make sure we can continue in the manner we have 445 years eu partners. at the uk were to crash out without a deal devastating with that be for ireland? we know a lot of irish exports come through british ports so it would be absolutely catastrophic for ireland? we are obviously working to prepare for all scenarios but we're aiming to get the best possible outcome that will impact on the irish economy. it will also impact

negatively on the british economy and other eu member states or reality is to ensure as little disruption to business and enterprise and citizens‘ lives and that‘s what we working towards and what we‘re seeing in the last few days and weeks that have significant impact on the uk as well and we didn‘t do not want that to happen. the uk has been our closest neighbourfor the uk has been our closest neighbour for many years and you wa nt to neighbour for many years and you want to be able to trade in the frictionless manner that we have not and so east and west this is something that will impact all of us and we want to have it as a little negative as possible. let me ask about the other tsu abbott at the summit which is migration. we have seen summit which is migration. we have seen splits between the populist italian government and the german chancellor saying this issue of what to do with migrants could affect the whole destiny of europe. where does your country stand on this? we very

much see ourselves as a member state thatis much see ourselves as a member state that is impacted probably least out of all the member states, we are a small island nation but we are very much behind working with those most impacted and want to show solidarity and as the taoiseach mentioned we‘re taking a three pronged approach to make sure that we tighten our borders to ensure the illegal migration that is happening is stopped and we are forming and we are essentially two stop the illegal smuggling of migrants across the mediterranean. we‘re also looking in terms of trying to get to the cause so making sure that these magnets are coming from the can actually try and help them stay in their own countries saw in that regard we had initially pledged 3 million for the africa fund and have increased that to 15 million sub trying to play a pa rt to 15 million sub trying to play a part in that regard so it is about working with member states and showing solidarity and this week we have agreed to take 25 migrants from

the lifeline ship stranded off the coast of malta and 4000 that we have opted in sophos editors about trying to find a solution notjust for the next year or two but this is going to be an ongoing problems only to have something a bit more long—lasting but we are very much working with our counterparts and collea g u es working with our counterparts and colleagues who are most impacted and beyond what to try and ease the challenges that they are but also to try and get to the root cause. thank you. let‘s talk to our political correspondent, alex forsyth, in westminster. we‘ve heard about the pressure on theresa may again with a claim from the irish prime ministers that time is running out for a brexit steel. that is a claim echoed by several european leaders today which was meant to be a pretty important

staging post in negotiations but now is just another mark—up with all eyes on october to see if they can finalise deals of the withdrawal and terms of future relations. what is interesting is that theresa may has chosen to say that the pace of talks at to step up and that is the case because that is pressure on theresa may from brussels and enormous pressure in westminster. there have been continued demonstrations and protests here from both sides of this argument and even today a former senior aide to theresa may saying she had to change our approach to these negotiations, take approach to these negotiations, take a tougher line to make cabinet came to some sort of agreement about what future relationship with like. that is the sticking point now, we‘re going to get together next week and she has to somehow get the cabinet to agree on the vision for life after brexit and she can publish details and get on with these legacy issues. that message coming from here and from brussels as well. in a little under two hours,

england will take on belgium in theirfinalgroup game in the world cup. both sides are already through to the knock—out stage — but tonight‘s result will decide who tops the group and who could get an easier route through the quarter finals by avoiding one of the tournament favourites, brazil. our sports correspondent natalie pirks has sent this report. it‘s taken a while but the english have arrived. # just don‘t want to go home. belgium is england‘s first sold—out game of the tournament and germany‘s defeat yesterday has left fans here believing that football is coming home. there is no team we should fear. we should go all the way. i think they will quite easily go to the final. we've got the momentum, we've got the belief and that's something that england's not had in the past, is it? why not? we can win this world cup.

commentator: jesse lingard. .. jesse lingard! they are confident not because of the opposition england have beaten, but the way they have beaten them. momentum has been building. but gareth southgate will make changes tonight. he is confident, though, it won‘t disrupt england‘s positivity. we have been consistently performing well in the last eight, nine matches and we are hitting a level of performance that is really important when we go into latter stages of the competition. belgium is a team of well—known premier league faces that all english football fans could name. the same can‘t be said of england in belgium. but that could work to gareth southgate‘s advantage. as foreigners, we all used to know the england team as the showbiz team with david beckham, wayne rooney, the wags and all that stuff that came with it. it‘s gone and there are no real stars in this team, but i think southgate has done a greatjob of building a good team. graemejones has a foot in both camps. english by birth, belgian coach by profession. both teams have qualified which i am delighted with. obviously, i am false

flag flying for belgium, but i am a proud englishman. commentator: chipped in and volleyed in and it is there by david platt. the last time england played belgium in the world cup was in italia 90. a sublime david platt volley knocked the belgians out in the last 16. forget plotting a route to the final, southgate would love to do a jig like this tonight. our correspondent sarah rainsford is with england fans in kaliningrad. i suppose it is a strange atmosphere because england fans want england to win but they don‘t have to win. that is true but it is not really affecting the mood here. look around, the crowds starting to build buy the stadium, coming for the last over to this brand—new stadium built ona

over to this brand—new stadium built on a swap, brand—new for the city saw something for them to benefit. in terms of the fans at the build—up has been great, fans from belgium and england in the city centre parting as we have never seen them in this world cup and the numbers because crowds have been pretty small so far. the england fans numbers are growing and they have a family here from bolton who for them as their first england match. tell us as their first england match. tell usa as their first england match. tell us a little bit about the town party atmosphere. it was very exciting, everybody was peaceful and in high spirits and mingling and the city centre was well organised. it was great to be here, what a great experience. lots of people in england shirts. i have made bolton wanderers t—shirt on, the home kit. one of the things about this city as it is inside europe although it is russia, makes it easier to get to.

you took a bus here? we flew to gdansk and took a bus of the border from poland and we will be doing the return journey later tonight. much easier to get to, no expense of a travel, relatively cheap to get here and a simple bus ride. and how about your thoughts ahead of this match? people saying england don‘t necessarily want to win this game? we definitely want to win. we are england, we can beat anybody, we have nobody to fear. the bigger teams everyone seems to be startling andl teams everyone seems to be startling and i see no teams everyone seems to be startling and | see no reason teams everyone seems to be startling and i see no reason why we have anybody to fear in the later rounds. we have come a long way so we hope they do win. i think we should keep momentum going otherwise we might lose our touch so i think we should really go for the win today. no chance there will be sitting on their heels hoping for second place by an easier route through to the final? winning is a habit and need

to keep that going all the way. very confident sounding family from bolton. it is the gentleman from all the fans i have been speaking to, they want england to go for it and when it even though it make slightly more complicated route through the world cup but fans are saying they hoped england can go a little further than usual this time. thank you. the headlines on bbc news... theresa may arrives in brussels for the eu summit — where she‘s expected to tell leaders that she wants to continue brexit talks at an accelerated pace. 100 soldiers are helping firefigthers tackle a blaze on the saddleworth moors — which has been burning for four days. a report by mps accuses the uk security services of tolerating "inexcusable" treatment of detainess after 9—11. in sport, a dramatic day at the

world cup in russia, senegal are heading home spoke been top of the group with 15 minutes to play before columbia scored a winner who go through top. japan‘s world cup journey continues despite losing to poland, the finish above senegal due to having picked up a few of yellow cards. england will play either japan or colombia and the last 16 as gareth southgate‘s side face belgium in theirfinalgroup gareth southgate‘s side face belgium in theirfinal group game, a result which will decide the group winners. more at 5:30pm. around 100 troops are helping figherfighters tackle the moorland blaze that‘s been burning for 4 days in greater manchester. fire chiefs fear it could last for weeks because of the continuing hot weather, but they‘ve also said there has been a significant improvement in the situation today. the troops, from the 4th battalion, royal regiment of scotland,

arrived overnight to help deal with the smouldering fires close to saddleworth moor. judith moritz reports. boots on the ground. the army arrived this morning to add their efforts to the firefight. big thank you to you and to your officers for coming... they were welcomed by the fire service, who will now battle the blaze for a fourth day, with the military by their side. 100 troops are being sent, arriving in groups of 30. from our own point of view, this is really important, because this shows some of the training that we've done, we rise to the challenge with our partner agencies to support them as and when they require it. this morning, conditions seemed still, but it‘s a deceptive peace. the moor is still alight, smoke rising across the horizon as peat burns underground. conditions still posing a risk. we only need a change in wind direction to then see that fire

increasing into where the greater fuel source is, so we could see a dramatic change, and that‘s why having the resources on scene, immediately ready, and the support of the armed services, is extremely important. another nervous morning for those living in these houses next to the moor. but amongst these hills, there are reservoirs full of water. it‘s just a matter of getting it to the right place. helicopters are being used to drop gallons onto pockets of fire. it‘s the terrain which makes it so hard to fight this fire. engines and equipment have to get to remote areas, and when they arrive, the crews are working long hours in the blistering heat. it‘s notjust the fire service — park rangers are here, too, with mountain rescue teams and ambulance support now joined by the soldiers. currently, we‘ve broken our boys down into various locations and we‘re beating the fire with paddles. we‘re supporting them

by moving equipment, we‘re putting water on the fires and we‘re doing everything we can to stop this fire at the moment. the fire service says it most needs a significant downpour of rain, but none has been forecast for at least a week. this is the best chance of keeping the moors wet. but as they continue to smoulder, a pall of pollution and smoke hangs in the air. the effects of this fire go far beyond these moors. our correspondent danny savage is at swineshaw reservoir for us now. it looks like the troops have made a difference. they have made a difference, the ongoing efforts by the firefighters and the slight change in wind direction as well because yesterday the visibility was appalling, loads of smoke coming off

the moors and that was blowing across manchester and causing air quality problems and visibility problems. nowhere near as bad as that today, you can see the hillside behind me still smouldering in places, still a bit of smoke but the wind is a lot less than yesterday, helicopters are buzzing around at times, to fill up the buckets and ta ke times, to fill up the buckets and take the water onto the moors and drop it to make a fire break around the edge of the files to stop it spreading. things are working at the moment, the fire brigade believe they have the fires under control and contained. they are happy, far more positive today than they were with the ongoing situation yesterday so looking a lot better but until we get some heavy rain that will not put the petered out and until that comes that is always the danger of these fires flaring up again particularly if the wind gets up. thank you. mps have said the uk

tolerated "inexcusable" treatment of us detainees after the 9/11 attacks. the intelligence and security committee say it‘s "beyond doubt" that british authorities knew the americans were mistreating prisoners. but, the committee found no "smoking gun" proving that british intelligence agents turned a blind eye to torture or themselves mistreated detainees. conservative mp, dominic grieve, is chair of the committee. we have not found any evidence that uk agency offices or defence intelligence personnel directly carried out physical mistreatment of detainees. we have found evidence of uk officers making verbal threats in nine cases. we also found two cases in which uk personnel were party to detainee mistreatment administered by others. with me is cori crider — she represented abdul hakim belhaj

and fatima boudchar in their rendition case against the uk government and is former director at human rights organisation reprieve. what do you make of this report? the reality is this is the most damning report into the intelligence agency ever produced by parliament. it is absolutely extraordinary and jaw—dropping. it is notjust exhibit ain jaw—dropping. it is notjust exhibit a in the argument for a judge later enquiry, the ise has exposed several matters for the police. what was jack straw doing when in october 2004 he authorised agencies to pay for rendition? the reality is that after 911 the agencies wandered into after 911 the agencies wandered into a legal and moral no man‘s land. after 911 the agencies wandered into a legal and moral no man's land. you are talking about a fulljudicial enquiry? this is exhibit a in the case for thejudge later

enquiry? this is exhibit a in the case for the judge later enquiry. the isc said the agencies actually obstructed efforts and refused to let officers be present for evidence. imagine if any real witnesses has been compelled to testify to that would‘ve made a huge difference. but isn't it really important to remember the context here? we had an attack on american soil that left thousands dead, america and the uk did not know if there was another attack coming. maybe on a similar scale and they felt compelled to take extraordinary measures in terms of security. we do have to acknowledge the environment in which the security services operate but just last in which the security services operate butjust last month theresa may had to apologise to two of my clients including a pregnant woman that the security services helped to render to colonel qaddafi and the caa. that not serve the uk at all and intelligence services today

deserve better protection in the field so they know they are not going to get themselves into legal hot water in the future. this is donald trump‘s america, the head of the caa has been involved in torture programme and the past and the agencies need much clearer guidance that they are going to not be exposed to legal risk in the future. the chairman of the committee was saying they are not trying to blame what he called individual officers who were acting under immense pressure. you have to remember again that these individual agents and intelligence officers are under huge pressure because they are making decisions every day that could save lives or cost lives. that is absolutely right and it is a shame that it absolutely right and it is a shame thatitis absolutely right and it is a shame that it is only about the rank and file people on the front lines who tends to be under the spotlight in these cases. when what you are talking about is people right at the top and head office and potentially ministers who are aware of potential atomic blind eye to exactly what my

fellow americans are doing, kidnapping and rendering and torturing detainees. it is the same throughout, it is the individual agents under pressure but also their bosses and also ministers, all under pressure after a horrendous attack like 911. and completely atypical this situation. that is the case but the reality is that after 911 the united states and britain that this was going to be kidnapping people, the report is absolutely clear in that respect and this is britain, there are lines that we have not crossed since magna carta and one of them is that you do not get mixed up in torturing. and you think we got too close to the united states in this cross absolutely. the isc said it that a particular officer can tone down use of ddt and it seems to us tone down use of ddt and it seems to us that the police should look at

that case and we think that as a number they should and we were they will be reading it very closely. thank you. a british nurse has been convicted of trafficking five nigerian women into germany to work as prostitutes — after subjecting them to voodoo rituals. josephine iyamu made her victims swear oaths to hand over money during witchcraft ceremonies — known as "juju" — and then arranged for the women to be trafficked across the mediterranean. she is due to be sentenced next wednesday. one of her victims described how — to begin with — iyamu made herfeel she could trust her. (sot next) she promised me that when i came to germany she would take care of me, she would always be there for me. she called me to say she needed money. she does not care about me, she only wants money. and you can see the full report on the bbc news at 6 tonight. the queen missed a service at

st paul‘s cathedral this morning — because she is feeling ‘under the weather‘. the 92—year old, seen here earlier this month, had been due to attend a ceremony marking the two hundredth anniverary of the order of st michael and st george. it‘s understood she will travel to windsor as planned this weekend. time for a look at the weather. yesterday the was the warmest day of the year so far, until we got to today because we just beat yesterday‘s temperatures and again it was in the north—west of wales, with the temperature hit 33 celsius, which isjust over 90 fahrenheit. it

has been pretty hot and sunny across the board today. there was more clouds threatening in the north sea and that will drift inland overnight in the eastern part of england, and the midlands. in the north—east, temperatures down to single figures. there will be more low cloud around the north sea coast tomorrow. away from here, plenty of sunshine, especially in the western side of the uk. 30 is possible western parts of northern ireland, western parts of northern ireland, western parts of wales and to the west of london, as well. into the weekend, a lot of dry weather, hit—in sunshine. on sunday, the chance of the shower or two in the south—west of england and we‘ll and later in northern ireland. this is bbc news. the headlines: eu leaders arrive in brussels for talks and, despite warnings that time is running out to strike

a brexit deal, theresa may says she‘s confident of making progress. england fans arrive in kaliningrad ahead of the team‘s crucial world cup group game against belgium. we‘ll have the latest from russia in our sports bulletin in a moment. the army is helping firefighters tackle the fire raging on saddleworth moor, as fire chiefs warns the blaze may not be put out for weeks. a firefighter has told the grenfell tower inquiry how he clung onto his colleague as he dangled out the window trying to tackle the flames. now the sport. england expects! we don‘t have to wind tonight, but it would be nice. absolutely, yes. the countdown to

the final group game for england is at the world cup. they will face belgium at 7.00pm our time. both teams are already through to the last 16, so this is a battle to finish top of group g. we can hear from the we can hearfrom the english manager. we have not won a night -- a knockout game since 2006 why we are trying to plot where would be our best place for it semifinal is beyond me, really! it is best that we focus on tomorrow. we have no idea who, when or where we will play in the next round but we are pleased we are in the next round. first and foremost, it is really important that we are building a team that everybody at home can see has a passion to play for england, they wa nt to passion to play for england, they want to win every time they go out, are improving all the time and i think we will see that again tomorrow. let‘s have a look at how today unfolded. a dramatic day at the world cup.

senegal are heading home despite being top of the group with 16 minutes to play before yerry mina scored the winner for columbia go who through top. nick parrott watched the action in volgograd. as africa‘s last hope of this world cup, senegal needed to draw on all their strengths. the stands were packed with pride and passion. sadio mane surged at columbia, causing them all sorts of problems. had the video assistant referee not intervene the wood of won a penalty, but the referee changed his mind after watching replays. phil neville declared that challenged the best tackle of the tournament. the totte n ha m tackle of the tournament. the tottenham defender saved columbia, but they needed someone to help them win to avoid them relying on other

results. james rodriguez left through injury and that was a bitter blow. but only this man had brought his boots. he wouldn‘t have fared any worse than his countrymen. when word filtered through that poland beat japan, the colombian fans celebrated as though their team had scored. that they could avoid any slip—ups at draw would be an upper both sides to progress, but that wasn‘t the only one senegal suffered. columbia didn‘t need a striker to ensure they would progress. the centre back yerry mina powered them through as winners. the world cup has been left about an african side in the last 16 since 1982. in the last 16 since 1982. japan‘s world cup journey continues, despite losing 1—0 to bottom of group h poland after a goal from jan bednarek. the japanese finish above senegal by virtue of their disciplinary record, they picked up two fewer yellow yards than the african side, the first time ever a nation has gone out due to their

disciplinary record. we can go to kaliningrad and join natalie. we finally know who england will face whether they finish first or second in their group. exactly. if they come top of obvious japan in the considerably hotter rostov, it is about 37 degrees there, rising to 39 degrees tomorrow, so possibly not great english conditions, but they would this japan. if they got past a pound that could potentially face brazil, the five times champions, in the quarterfinal. it becomes second in this group they will face colombia in moscow with the day of extra rest and they could face the likes of sweden or switzerland in the quarterfinals. that is the kind of mouths that we do, the pundits do

and the fans do. it is not the kind of maps that gareth southgate does. he was not interested in plotting a route through to a potential final. reminded us yesterday that england have not won a knockout game since 2006, so it is complete folly to try and plot our route. that is for us to get excited about, but it won‘t affect anything the team is doing today. they are only here to win the game and that is all they want to do. we just heard from gareth southgate and regardless of those results earlier on today, we are expecting a number of changes from him this evening. yes, there will be eight changes tonight. we will get the official team sheet in about 40 minutes. harry kane has dropped to the bench, which will probably be disappointing for him. he has scored five goals in the last two games. he has scored in five consecutive games. the last time that happened

foran games. the last time that happened for an english man was 1939, in six games. jamie vardy for get his 24th tonight, we expect. he on seven goals for england so hopefully he can come on and pick up the momentum that england has and transferring that england has and transferring that two completely different team are three players. if you think back to what roy hodgson bid in the european championships just before iceland, and we all know how that went, they lost by group. they ended up went, they lost by group. they ended up playing iceland which everybody thought was great at that time, but not so much when they lost. there is not so much when they lost. there is no point trying to plot a route. there have been crazy results of this world cup already so let‘s just try and beat what has been put in front of us. thank you, natalie. wayne rooney has signed for dc

united today. we will have more on all those stories at 6:30 pm. we are talking about high technological advancements could help the nhs. technological advancements offer a chance to improve health care for patients in the uk, but are not a silver bullet for pressures on the nhs, according to a report looking into technology and the nhs. it‘s the final report produced for the bbc, analysing the state of the nhs ahead of it‘s 70th anniversary next week. the study looks at a number of key areas such as data, artificial intelligence diagnosis and precision medicine. with me now isjennifer dixon, chief executive of the health foundation, and dr ali parsa, ceo and founder and babylon healthcare, who created an app to connect patients with gps via a video call. thank you for being with us. dr ali

pa rsa, if thank you for being with us. dr ali parsa, if you explain could how some of your technology works and makes it easierfor patients. of your technology works and makes it easier for patients. if you think about where the costs and health ca re about where the costs and health care are, doctors and nurses are an expensive resource. we have created an artificial intelligence that can deal with some of the requirements of the patient. you can put in your symptom, it will have a conversation that you can find out what is wrong. 40% of our patients get reassured and we don't need to go to a doctor, but when they do the artificial intelligence passes that information to the doctor saw a 15 minute consultation can be reduced by 20 or 30%. doctors spent 3aao% consultation can be reduced by 20 or 30%. doctors spent 3440% of the time doing paperwork and artificial intelligence can listen to the

conversation and write the report for doctors. as a result, what we can see is a 70% reduction in the costs of the delivery of consultations. that is incredibly valuable. jennifer, do you think this kind of thing is a silver bullet for the nhs in the future, it could save tens of millions of pounds and helps a bit?|j could save tens of millions of pounds and helps a bit? i think all the analysis that we have seen shows that technology can really enhance quality of care and can really assist doctors, nurses, other clinicians to do a betterjob and free up time to care for patients better. what we do know is the impact on costs. it may not be cost saving, but it may well be quality enhancing. agents like a lot of technology, that is for sure. but do they like a diagnosis from artificial intelligence as opposed toa human artificial intelligence as opposed to a human doctor? i trained in

medicine and medicine is more than making the diagnosis. it is the relationship of the patient and understanding what led to the diagnosis, what the preferences of the patient might be, and to help and support them through treatment. it is unlikely because relationship things will be substituted by technology of this sort. our first question from a viewer says will robots replace doctors? absolutely not. doctors do quite a lot, they do a wide range of activities. a very small part of what they do is actually analysis. machines tend to be very good at that. i'm a visit this —— i'm a physicist and they used to spend a lot of time doing calculations but that is done for me nice to i can think about the physics. we will release the doctors

to become more human while the machines can to the more computational stuff. it sounds like an ideal world. another question from geraldine this time, will artificial intelligence diagnosis become the norm rather than tiling 111 ? become the norm rather than tiling 111? is this possible that in future decades ai will take over from the kind of system? i'm not sure it will com pletely ta ke over kind of system? i'm not sure it will completely take over but that will doa completely take over but that will do a large amount of the heavy lifting. when you have something wrong with something you have bought, the last thing you want is to get into some telephone loop, isn‘t it, or an online loop that you can‘t get out of? most of the burden of disease that the nhs is facing is from alter the real people with multiple chronic conditions. it will bea multiple chronic conditions. it will be a long time before a! can manage a lot of that. that is the future,

but there is a long way to go and humans will always be needed. dr ali pa rsa, humans will always be needed. dr ali parsa, question from ryan, will we be able to use a! instead of the gp when we know what we need? in other words, a man says he wants vasectomy or repeat prescription. so, if it is a simple thing that somebody is asking for, is that the kind of area where is al asking for, is that the kind of area where is ai will be useful?|j asking for, is that the kind of area where is ai will be useful? i am a big believer in the future of artificial intelligence. yesterday we unleashed the report and we did with the royal college of physicians and stanford university whereby we showed how artificial intelligence can diagnose as powerfully as a human doctor. in some areas it was safer, better, more accurate. at the risen regulatory environment in the world that will allow artificial intelligence to order drugs, for example. the judgment is more about

the other aspects rather than if you needis the other aspects rather than if you need is —— that you need a repeat description. we need to really take a step back and save the world is short of 5 million doctors. 50% of the world population has zero access to any kind of health care. yet they all have a mobile phone of one kind or another. this health care that we currently have is really available only to a billion people across the globe. so it is that effect, the ability to reach a lot more and allow doctors to do a lot more which will be the strength of artificial intelligence. question from emma, in terms of technology, how does the nhs protect data in this more digitalised world? nhs protect data in this more digitalised world ? a nhs protect data in this more digitalised world? a lot of patients find it scary but hugely sensitive

data about patient is on the nhs system, but we know there are cyber attacks, cyber warfare, and it is quite frightening. there is a high level of mechanisms that are used, high quality specifications to make sure that data is protected. what is really important for the future is that information from these systems can be pulled off in an anonymous way to protect patient confidentiality, to be used for analysis for the kind of ai confidentiality, to be used for analysis for the kind of a! work that dr ali parsa was saying. patients are comfortable with that, our polling sets. they are less co mforta ble our polling sets. they are less comfortable for commercial organisations to do it, but more for the nhs to do it. thank you both for topping us through this brave new world of medicine and health care, maybe. jennifer dixon and dr ali pa rsa. maybe. jennifer dixon and dr ali parsa. thank you.

the headlines on bbc news: theresa may arrives in brussels for the eu summit, where she‘s expected to tell leaders that she wants to continue brexit talks at an accelerated pace. 100 solidiers are helping firefigthers tackle a blaze on the saddleworth moors, which has been burning for four days. england fans arrive in kaliningrad ahead of the team‘s crucial world cup group game against belgium. one of the first firefighters to enter the burning grenfell tower has described fire raining down from above as he held a colleague‘s legs so he could lean out of a window to fight the flames. charles batterbee told the public inquiry today how he tried to stop his crew mate daniel brown falling from the window as he trained his hose on the blaze. let‘s go live now to our correspondent frankie mccamley, who‘s at the inquiry.

bring us up—to—date on what the enquiry has heard today. it was quite emotionalfor enquiry has heard today. it was quite emotional for charles batterbee today. he described those moments when he first entered the building and first saw that fire blazing. he did get quite emotional and number of times and the enquiry had to be possibly could gather himself. the first of which were in the thermal imaging came through. that camera footage that the firefighters had taken. when he first saw that he did get quite upset. upon seeing it he said i have never felt he‘d like upset. upon seeing it he said i have neverfelt he‘d like it, not in training, not operationally either. then he described after a number of attem pts then he described after a number of attempts both he and his colleague daniel brown thought they had put the fire out in flat 16 on the fourth floor of grenfell tower. it was only when they were stood in the kitchen analysing the damage they then looked out the window and saw

that that was not the case at all. the amount of the debris and the noise and how rapid, and when i say violent i mean it just rained fire. that, to me, at that time i was thinking it's coming back to shepherd's bush court, it's jumping multiple floors. this isn'tjust one or two windows and frames that have failed and come down, this is lots and it was getting worse. it didn't slow, it just got worse, if anything, so that's why for me at that time, you have to imagine clinging onto danny by the ba strap, he's got a hose which weighs a lot and he's got that hose outside the window. he has leant right outside the window and i'm holding on for dearlife, i'm digging my hips into the counter so we don't both go together and i've got my left hand on my radio, trying to communicate priority messages and whilst

he was hitting it, it wasjust getting worse and worse. i interpreted at that time that it was obviously going higher. what else would be burning? temp two talking there are the chaotic scenes from the first discovered the fire was burning outside not inside at that point. we talked about his training and said although he had been trained specifically on tower block fires, because in kensington and chelsea that are a number of tower blocks, he said he had never been trained how to put a fire outside a tower block. on talking about the cladding, he‘s dead never in a million years did i think the cladding used grenfell tower would be used other residential block. he said that type of cladding was normally found on diy stores or factories. he said he only knew the fire was as

bad as it was when he walked outside and look back. he said i would never forget that moment and at the end of the day we heard from daniel brown, his colleague, who will continue to give evidence tomorrow. the duke of cambridge has visited some ofjerusalem‘s most sacred religious sites, on the final day of his tour of the middle east. he spent time at the temple mount, also known as haram al sharif, as well as the western wall and the church of the holy sepulchre. the duke also visited the final resting place of his great—grandmother, princess alice. this report from our royal correspondent nicholas witchell contains flash photography. it is a city which has a sacred significance for the followers of three different faiths — judaism, islam and christianity. from the mount of olives, william looked over to the old city ofjerusalem, fought over in centuries past and still a place of dispute. on temple mount, venerated by bothjews and muslims,

he visited the al—aqsa mosque, the third holiest site in the islamic faith. the imams who showed him around said william‘s visit had sent a message of hope and support. the church of the holy sepulchre is one of the holiest places in the christian faith. william was shown a spot where it is said christ was crucified. the western wall is a sacred place for people of the jewish faith. it is the only surviving section of a jewish temple built more than 2,000 years ago. william followed tradition and placed a note with his own prayer in the wall and then stood in silent contemplation. that he has been moved by what he has seen over the past few days in israel and yesterday in the occupied palestinian territories is not in doubt. this visit has achieved two things in particular.

for britain, it has shown its evenhanded approach to the israelis and the palestinians. for william, it has shown he is more than able to handle such a sensitive visit. he returns to britain with his experience broadened and knowing that an important visit has been accomplished successfully. nicholas witchell, bbc news, jerusalem. the amount of taxpayers‘ money spent on the queen in the past year has risen by 13%, partly because of refurbishment works at buckingham palace, taking the queen‘s total spend for the last financial year to more than £47 million. staff and travel costs are also up. our royal correspondent sarah campbell reports. the first stage of the decade—long palace refit has been completed. electric cabling dating back to the 1940s has now been replaced. this is the first set of accounts published since works began. the cost so far, £4.1 million.

but this is only the beginning. next year, work starts here, the east wing. 10,000 precious artefacts will have to be moved and although palace officials say they hope it will be business as usual, there is speculation that the balcony, the stage for so many royal celebrations, including trooping the colour, may be out of action. in total, the cost of refurbishing buckingham palace has been put at £369 million. and a sovereign grant, the amount of taxpayers‘ money given to the monarchy, has been increased significantly to cover those costs. also revealed in the royal accounts, other costs, including travel. the most expensive by far, the trip made in autumn of last year by prince charles to india and the far east. the prince was also revealed to have used the royal train seven times. £21,000 the cost of this one journey from london to durham.

antimonarchy compaigners dispute the palace‘s claims that value for money is always considered. i think there‘s plenty of evidence that the main deciding factor of how prince charles travels is prince charles. he likes the status, he likes the privacy of his own transport, i think the royal train clearly needs to be scrapped, it‘s an absolutely absurd mechanism. the duke and duchess of cambridge and prince harry are funded by their father, using income from his private estate, the duchy of cornwall. those accounts show the young royals have cost up to 40%, or £1.4 million, more than the previous financial year. is that increase at least partly down to meghan, the new duchess of sussex? palace officials refused to comment. sarah campbell, bbc news. all four nations of the uk have seen temperatures hit 30 celsius

for the first time in five years, as britain swelters in another hottest day of the year. wales saw the highest temperature at 32.6 in porthmadog, gwynedd, while scotland is enjoying its highest temperatures in decades. from a sunny glasgowjames shaw sent this report. day two of this intense heat wave in scotland. in the parks, glaswegians are starting to get used to temperatures higher than some of their favourite mediterranean resorts. yesterday, the high was more than 30 degrees. today, it could be up to 31 or 32. getting very close to a record. for a city which has a reputation as one of the wettest in britain, this baking hot weather does come as a bit of a revelation. butjust because people in glasgow aren‘t used to hot weather doesn‘t mean they don‘t know how to enjoy it. it‘s great stuff. coming back from years ago,

it‘s been a long time coming! i've been here 23 years and this is really the first time i've seen it this warm. this is a very nice change, not having to find their jacket with a hood. in west lothian firefighters have been dealing with a wildfire, a warning of an increased risk of wildfires in in place until monday. here in glasgow, most people are concentrating on keeping cool and enjoying this mini heatwave. this is a prolonged spell of hot and dry weather. we expected to continue for at least the next 5—10 days. it does feel like years since the sun was this hot in the west of scotland. many are determined to enjoy it while it lasts. time for a look at the weather. here‘s darren with the forecast. in scotland, it will be cooler

tomorrow, but over the weekend that temperatures will rise in the south—east, so swings and roundabouts. i will show you the temperature in porthmadog in the north—west of wales because we better the temperature we had yesterday, so what is 33 celsius andy goode get a little bit higher once we get into temperatures in there. it has almost been as warm as that in glasgow, 31 and a bit here. not quite as warm on the north sea coasts, but a very colourful picture here of which ebay. a fine evening to come. there has been some cloud rushing in from the southern north sea into the south—east. a bit of high fairweather clive mixed in, but on the whole a clear evening. with the onshore wind picking up, this

cloud on the north sea will get drawn into eastern and central parts of england and the north of scotland. it will be cooler here, single figure temperatures in glasgow, for example. when we start cloudy engrave the temperatures will be slower to rise, but it shouldn‘t be slower to rise, but it shouldn‘t be too long the cloud before burns often retreat back to the coast. there was likely to be some low cloud on the eastern coasts. inland, you don‘t have to go far inland to get the sun and the temperatures rise. 30 degrees west wales. not quite so hot in scotland. it could get 30 degrees to the west of london. that breezes coming from the east again. high pressure is with us, that‘s what‘s bringing the hot, dry and sunny weather. a shower is possible in north—west scotland. this low might come into play and

bring some oysterfor the south—west. we are still drawing up ourairfrom the near south—west. we are still drawing up our air from the near continent, that means it will be warm if not hot out there. on saturday, we start—up mistake. it shouldn‘t be long before it burns. for most of the uk it will be dry, hot and sunny. those temperatures round the mid to high 20s quite widely, a bit cooler on the north sea coasts once again. into the second half of the weekend, the wind will start to pick up, butfor weekend, the wind will start to pick up, but for the most part it will be dry, hot and sunny. a chance of a shower in the south west wales, later in northern ireland, rising temperatures in the south—east. a british nurse is found guilty of trafficking nigerian women.
