royal institute of chartered surveyors. thank you forjoining us.sible said all necessary fire regulations and health and safety standards were met. how rigorous do you think that those checks are. that remains to be seen. i'm sure the investigation will feature this. clearly the fire travelled externally and very rapidly so that needs to be looked at seriously as a significant contributing factor as to what the cause was and how it came about. how surprised you that the tower block, a 2a story tower block with 120 flats, could just go up block with 120 flats, could just go up inflames block with 120 flats, could just go up in flames so quickly, but the fire could spread and apparently spread on the left—hand side and then over to the right—hand side very quickly. this is a situation. i had never seen anything like this outside a hollywood movie. in 2009 in camberwell there was an indication with problems of older flats and cladding and care and attention needed to be taken. what happened in this case must still be determined but there was following

thank you, jeremy leaf from the royal institute of chartered engineers..usions this afternoon about the death of seven men, including five young friends, who drowned off camber sands in east sussex last summer. the five died in august, just a month after two other men drowned in the same area. duncan kennedy reports. the fact seven men could die in two separate incidents on one beach in the space of one month is believed to be unprecedented in britain. and finally today we got an understanding, for the first time, of how five of those men, those five friends who went down, came to their deaths. that was the result of some expert witness we will see in a moment. and how they died and why they died was exactly why the men's' families have come to this inquest. kobi saththiya nathan, his brother ken, nitharsan ravi, inthushan sriska ntharasa and gurushanth srithavarajah — the five friends who died on a summer's day out. their families came for the final time, to hear what happened to them and why they drowned. it was last august, they'd all gone for a day tri

the royal national institute of blind people, for example, says that many people with sight loss still vote in secret. a fundamental democratic right. but in our mocked—up polling station, asha is showing me problems the royal national institute of blind people says many face. the numbers are in braille. there is a tactile template with the candidates' name. tactile voting templates were introduced in 2001. by law, uk polling stations now have to provide them. but asha and others say that sometimes they do not work. that is now lined up. yes, unfortunately the template used by polling stations is not fit for purpose. we still rely on somebody to read out the names of the candidates and then you still have to trust them that they are telling you honestly where the boxes are. so you are reliant on somebody else guiding you through the process? yes, and to check you have put the mark in the right place. for some, problems can occur before polling day. ismael has a learning disability, and thinks registering to vote is too complicated. i feel it is difficult when voting, i have to bring my

let's cross to professor law from the royal wallenberg institute of human rights and humanitarian law to get some more insight on this thanks for joining us the u.s. officials have anonymously admitted that american forces are interrogating prisoners but they deny any knowledge of torture of human rights abuses at these locations though how i mean how can we actually trust them considering all previous denials resulted in for example the famous quote by obama when he said you know we did torture some folks. off to guantanamo what's what are your thoughts. you know it's very important to have independent impartial objective fact finding in such situations it's not enough to rely on standard denials that we hear from either the yemeni forces or u.a.e. or united states or in any country any country's government for that matter if we're seeing credible reports and you know i think the associated press. is a very credible organization that. knows how to conduct a good investigative journalism and if the sources that it has for information are not only. alleged former prisoners but also yem

let's bringing professor michael clarke from the royal united services institute.have been a number of development is today, what have you made of them? this is where we go from phase one of the investigation to phase two. phase one is where there is an immediate attempt by the authorities to close the plot down. they want to keep the names of the perpetrators to themselves or they can get round one of their associates and make sure there was no one else out there they are there was no one else out there they a re really there was no one else out there they are really concerned with. phase two, what we are moving to today, the press start to get hold of the names, they can work it out, so then they announced the names, they have announced two of them and that is in the sense where they bring the public into it. they are saying would have you know about these people, tell us so we can reconstruct, certainly the last year oi’ reconstruct, certainly the last year or two of their lives, to help us understand what they were connected with and where that should take the

the second report i want to highlight was a report released by the royal united services institute in the united kingdom last week. it concluded, the report finds not a single component of the united states sanctions against north korea currently enjoys robust international implementation. in february of 2017 the u.n. panel of experts on north korea similarly assessed pyongyang's illicit networks overseas were "increasing in scale, scope and sophistication." do these reports undermine the administration's claim we are exerting maximum pressure on pyongyang? >> no, i think they shed a significant amount of light on how complex and difficult applying pressure to north korea is. but what we are doing is calling on everyone, obviously the chinese government, we're calling on governments around the world, and there's not a bilateral discussion i have with any government anywhere in the world, whether it is in eastern europe, southeast asia or central and south america that we do not talk about their relationship with north korea and asking them to examine all of those ties. and even when t

let's speak now to professor michael clarke, he's a former director of the think—tank the royal united services instituteint is absolutely crucial. hindsight is obviously wonderful but if three men get together one morning and say today's the date, hire a van, does that constitute planning? it does in a way and in that case the terrorists will always get the first hit. they'll always be able to do something that nobody can prepare for, if that is the case. the question for counterterrorism is how quickly can you close it down, how quickly can you close it down, how quickly can you prevent any further consequences after that first hit, exactly as has happened in the westminster bridge attack. the key question that will come out of this, as the security services begin to put the lives of these three people together over the last couple of yea rs, together over the last couple of years, will be when did they start to think about this? if they only started to think about it if you days before, that's one thing. but if they started to plan this several months ago, the question should be, should that plotting

professor michael clarke, the former head of the royal united services institute, with his analysis ofer arrest and raids have been carried out in barking and if we have any more information on that from the police we will let you know. we have been talking about the human impact as well as the continuing police investigation. let's hear a little from the archbishop of canterbury, the right reverend justin welby, about events here in the last 24 hours. first of all, grief and horror, and just that appalling sense that it's happening again, that people are suffering so greatly. secondly, immense admiration for those who have responded, the emergency services, the quick responses of the police. and, thirdly, something that struck me this morning in this enormous pentecost service and ram—packed church we had this morning. there was a profound sense of resilience, of faith, and of hope. and that is what i pray for this country. our resilience, our faith, and our hope. determination to overcome the terrorists, to maintainjustice and peace, and preservation for all. the archbishop of canter

professor michael clarke has rejoined me, the former head of the royal united services institute.bout the speed of the police response, that eight minutes statistic which seems extraordinary. you have said as soon as the reports came through of the initial attack of the vehicle on london bridge there was an immediate police response. it was clear this attack was in borough market and london bridge and the police sent out by twitter the run, hide, tell message which they had been talking about in theory. ring up somebody, tell the authorities, run and hide. it looks like that is exactly what people did. people locked themselves in rooms, phoned friends, got onto twitter and were put through to the police. in a sense we have got a population of londoners, young londoners, who are pretty savvy. they will know how to use their mobile phones and they reacted exactly as the police would have wa nted exactly as the police would have wanted them to react, run, hide, et al. there is a lot of evidence that the attackers themselves seem to be uncertain of what to do next. at one point there

karen von hippel is the head of the think tank the royal united services institute.unfortunately, militarily pretty expert and experienced. so, they fight very hard. and they have fought very hard for mosul. this siege has gone on for mosul. this siege has gone on for 254 days. and they are still fighting there. but they will ultimately lose it. it will be a very serious defeat for them, but it won't entirely put them out of business. that is my next question, to you, karen, strategically, if/ when they lose mosul, what does that mean for them across the region? they would be fully defeated in iraq for some time. they have pocket in iraq. once they are squeezed out, they will go wander down —— babel go underground. they will disperse to different parts of the welcome and thatis different parts of the welcome and that is the concern — what does the next version of isis looked like and how do we disrupt that? what do we think it looks like? yellow may —— terrorism has been more of an integral part of how isis fight a war than almost any other organisation in history. s

the trial, run by the institute of cancer research and the royal marsden, aims to test the safety of as onx—0801. it involved just 15 women all with advanced ovarian cancer. the result, tumours shrank significantly in almost half of the women over the course of five weeks. one of the fantastic things about this new drug that's being developed here is that it has so few side—effects, compared to traditional chemotherapy. and that's because it specifically targets cancer cells, leaving healthy cells unharmed. this drug attacks the tumour and you see very encouraging tumour responses but you don't see the common side—effects like hair loss or sore mouth or diarrhoea or susceptible to infections as seen with other chemotherapy. but the scientists are urging caution. they say it was a very small study and it's too early to know whether the success could be replicated in a larger group of patients. they now want to plan the next phase of the trial. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. we're joined now by florence wilks, who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2010, and professor stanley kaye from
