10:37 am
more than 50 years, for the first time. expecting to hearfrom home secretary yvette cooper, announcing £75 million to tackle people smuggling gangs and we expect that announcement to be made. and that begins we will take you to it. for the moment, let's get you some more news in the uk. there are fears there could be up to a quarter of a million more flats and apartments with dangerous flammable cladding similar to that used on grenfell tower that was previously thought. the figure follows a report from the national audit office which found more than 7000 additional unidentified tower blocks could be affected by the crisis. the cladding crisis has blighted the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. it's set to double in size says the national audit office. people like richard
10:38 am
who were interviewed in his south london flat earlier this year, what does he think now? the idea that there is twice as many people makes me angry, to be honest. and if you needed evidence these figures support that evidence, it's a national scandal that is not getting the attention it deserves. this is the first time the ministry of housing has made public its estimate for how many tower blocks it thinks could have flammable cladding. previously it only published the numbers in various schemes to fix them. that currently stands atjust under 4,800 blocks but now it is told the national audit office there could be another 7,200 blocks yet to be identified and tested.
10:39 am
that is potentially another quarter of a million homes for people. this recent fire at a block in london shows just how quickly a blaze in a building with a flammable facade can spread. it was in the process of having as cladding removed. the last government committed £5 billion to fix such dangerously flammable flats but progress has been slow. the nao report tries to identify why. we recognise in the report the emotional and financial distress those affected have gone through. we note how complex it is to try and identify these buildings, things like complex ownership structures, trying to trace developers, even down to building materials matching records can cause issues. the grenfell tower tragedy will cast an even longer shadow if the governments latest estimates are correct. with repair costs tripling to over £16 billion. most developers have now agreed to fix the flammable cladding on their blocks, the government says it is bringing forward a plan to speed up the process later in the autumn.
10:40 am
just as well as on current projections, an end to the cladding crisis is still more than a decade away. we arejust a we are just a day away from the us election and both candidates will spend the day visiting battleground states, success could secure the white house. among the most hotly contested of these swing states as wisconsin form for our correspondent sent this. ~ ,_, , , wisconsin form for our correspondent sent this. ~ , , ., ., wisconsin form for our correspondent sentthis. ~ , , ., ., sent this. wisconsin is one of those states, sent this. wisconsin is one of those states. evenly _ sent this. wisconsin is one of those states, evenly divided _ sent this. wisconsin is one of those states, evenly divided between - states, evenly divided between kamala harris and donald trump but if you want to find something that people here agree on, you come here to the field, home of the green bay packers, thousands of people here, braving the elements to support their favourite team and make this as a rare escape from politics. i

assembly being held for the uk and more than 50 years. —— we can go live now to glasgow. we are expecting to hear from the home secretary is well and the prime minister. the prime minister will look to what many are calling a reset of the uk approach to border security, and let me know so far as the prime minister is expected to announce an extra £75 million to tackle people smuggling gangs as we have reported. he is also expected to warn the glasgow summit which brings together senior police and ministers from nearly 200 interpol member countries that the world needs to wake up to the severity of the challenge of people smuggling. we arejust the challenge of people smuggling.
10:43 am
we are just counting down to the home secretary yvette cooper who is likely to speak first and then the prime minister sir keir starmer who will speak. of course the issue of migration is a sensitive topic and the prime minister wants to apply a counterterrorism approach to border security. and end the fragmentation between the police and the border force and intelligence agencies so essentially boasting plans to help the agencies involved to be provided with some sort of enhanced power through a new border security approach. what they are looking to do essentially is try and make it easier to detect, disrupt and deter those involved in organised immigration crime which those involved in organised immigration cri
