the city's mayor, andy burnham says the review will look at "what happened so that the right lessonstlined the scope of the review. our review will look at what happened as a response to the attack. it was a terrible event in which 22 people lost their lives and it provoked a massive response from the police and the other emergency services. what we want to look at is how did those services respond and in particular how well were they prepared for this type of event. we know there will be a lot of good things we can learn from this, but there will also be things that we can see that can improve the way such events are dealt with. that is the purpose of the review. it's an independent review, that will look robustly, thoroughly and fairly at the issues. and who will you be hearing from? well, we will be hearing of course from the emergency services, but, and this is really important, we want to get the voice of the families, the victims, those who have been injured. and indeed anyone who was caught up in the terrible events of that night. it's really important to us that we conduct th

and thirdly, yesterday, the right honourable andy burnham reaffirmed his commitment to refer cases of and confirmed he has an appointment with the police on the 26th ofjuly. the speaker granted the debate — it will take place on thursday. the former head of m15 has described the scale of the terrorist threat as unprecedented. she told the lords that the threat has grown since the attacks on 7/7 in 2005. this year, on four dates over the course of three months, our country has been attacked by terrorists. westminster, manchester arena, london bridge and borough market, finsbury park. 36 dead and over 150 injured in these atrocious attacks. terrorists mean to sow fear and division, but ours is a community of many faiths and many nationalities, and all have come together in the face of these senseless acts. and if these attacks have shown us anything, it is that attack on one part of our community is an attack on us all. this government is committed to ensuring there is no safe space for terrorists to operate online. my right honourable friend the home secretary continues to lead efforts

i know andy burnham was very that might be.by bishop james jones, which found instigated into hillsborough, led by bishopjamesjones, which found a way of bringing information held without the full panoply of a public enquiry, but having a certainty that people needed to answer questions. so genuinely, it is not for me to decide what form the enquiry will take, you have to talk to those who have involved. i hope people come to a reasonable answer because we need to get moving on this. again, i would not lead to prejudge what will come out of it and i do not think people should go into it with an intention of delivering a particular answer. let us find out what happened, because that seems to me to be terribly imported as a constituency mp. and we will be talking to andy burnham and about half an hour. in a moment, a summary of the business news this hour, but first, the headlines on bbc news. the prime minister orders an enquiry into the contaminated blood scandal of the 1970s and ‘80s, which left nearly 2500 people dead. a majo

but with people like andy burnham on our site, and he has been magnificent, and i think the communitywe have real weight now behind us and we will fight to make sure that every piece of evidence is put on the table and that people see it and understand what this community has gone through. because far too long we have been marginalised. thank you very much for telling us your story. the chief executive of heathrow airport has said the uk's departure from the eu without a deal on aviation would be a "colossal failure of leadership" and called for clarity as soon as possible on the situation for the aviation industry after brexit. it comes as the ryanair boss said there is a real prospect of there being no flights operating between the uk and the eu as a result of brexit. we're joined now by our brussels reporter adam fleming. how seriously should we take these warnings? well, there was laughter in the room when the usually outspoken boss of ryanair, michael 0'leary, made his comments. but what he was saying was that he feels, in his view, the prospects of a deal on aviation between the

said it is still investing in infrastructure for the north, but the mayor of greater manchester andy burnham support for the london project. transport focus's latest national rail passenger survey has shown rail passengers in london and the south east are more satisfied with their railway journeys after a long period of patchy performance. measuring satisfaction of more than more than 27,000 passengers, no train company's overall satisfaction figures declined. we spoke to some real passengers outside victoria station about their experience. too busy and too expensive for how busy it is so it's not great. lately it has been better but always so part, nowhere to sit down. it could be better, the strikes aren't helping, it would be nice if the tickets work. surprisingly on—time for once but they need to be more consistency.” think my service is ok but that's not the impression i get from a lot of people. i think it's very variable. i find recently there has been an improvement but towards the end of last year and the beginning of this year there were significant problems. let's talk to our corr

we also had andy burnham making his last speech to the house of commons, saying that he was in possessionion which he would take take to the police unless there was a public enquiry. so you have a civil action, you have the criminal action pending andi you have the criminal action pending and i think at the end of the day, the present administration just thought, this cannot go on. it's got to stop. and have you been able to speak to some of the families, people who presumably, regrettably have lost loved ones? i'm interested... what their response after this time? i have managed to speak to two or three of them this afternoon. there is a sense of relief, a sense of... still a sense of injustice. and a sense of slight sense of unreality, that, is this really happening? pinch me? and it won't really happen because we have waited for so long and families have waited for so long and families have waited for so long and families have waited for so long but now it is happening. and we are told that the style of the enquiry will be decided after scratch back until after jeremy hunt has met the

now, i can a member, in the last part of the labour government that andy burnham, the health secretaryhealth secretary sat down with andrew la nsley his health secretary sat down with andrew lansley his shadow alternative and his liberal democrat counterpart as a shadow, and tried to get cross—party consensus. that consensus was agreed , to get cross—party consensus. that consensus was agreed, until the 2010 general election came and then all ofa general election came and then all of a sudden it was politicised by the conservative party. now, i absolutely agree with you on something as important as adult social care there is a lot of work that we can do together. the conservatives could start by reversing their cuts to the adult social care but it's something that was in labour's manifesto. so, again, if the conservatives want to cooperate on adult social care with labour they only have to open the labour manifesto for many not the few, and there is a solution there we would happily support. at the heart of what she is saying them and what may chime with much of the country watching is

andy burnham, well aware of the government numbers needed for votes here.le to make the numbers add up. he is not the only mare in the north of england to suggest he is a bit frustrated. the mayor of the liverpool region has said something similar. those who say that the cancellation of electrification projects is not as bad as it might sound, because of the of new trains that can run on diesel and electric, but this looks a bit tricky for the government regardless. —— there are those who say. hundreds of firefighters in the south of france and corsica are battling huge forest fires which have been fanned by high temperatures and strong winds. a blaze has swept through 1,600 acres of the luberon national park in provence, while people have been moved to safety from a town in north eastern corsica. could this be the world's bestjob? this is a zookeeper in southwest china who has to dress up as a panda in order to play with cubs. it's because the animals are due to be released into protective wildlife. the cubs have to learn to live on their own and not rely
