terracycle says it was using a recycler based here in the west midlands called berry polymer, hired fortrading, also based here and run by the same man, that sent the terracycle waste to bulgaria. dts said the bales were accidentally loaded on to a truck heading to bulgaria. they say that comes down to human error on the part of a temporary forklift truck driver. a bit surprising that they would end up in a place like bulgaria. ed kosior is a plastics recycling expert. dts did provide a justification. they suggested that this material was loaded wrongly by a temp forklift truck driver. so, perhaps it was a one—off. do you think that's plausible? it is plausible. the recycling industry does have a turnover of staff and if you don't train the staff, that can happen. however, if you're loading a lorry with goods, you're normally loading 20 tonnes and so, normally, the goods have to be earmarked for a destination. it would be a big error to send all this material to the wrong destination, especially if it's difficult to recycle. dts says it wasn't illegal to send waste to bulgaria and it wa

the conservative mayor of the west midlands, andy street, gave his reaction to the comments to the bbcand i'm sure she regrets it very deeply but the point is the evidence is so much to the contrary, so she might have heard view but remember 1.25 million people bought their tickets to come to an event in birmingham, they are going to see what a great place it is and if you look at other things, more students coming here, more young londoners coming to live here, businesses are investing, so the evidence is time for a look at the weather with ben rich. hello. southern parts have the lion's share of the sunday sunshine. and it's those same southern areas that will have the lion's share of the warmth, even the heat that's going to develop through this week. cambridge isjust an example, but temperatures here by friday up to 32 degrees. it will be very different, though, further north and west, with more cloud, some rain at times and temperatures only getting up to 17 or 18 degrees. and that is quite typical of the story across much of northern ireland and indeed scotland, closer to areas o

the conservative mayor of the west midlands, andy street, gave his reaction to the comments to the bbctupid thing to have said, frankly, and i'm sure she regrets it very deeply but the point is the evidence is so much to the contrary, so she might have heard view but remember 1.25 million people bought their tickets to come to an event in birmingham, they are going to see what a great place it is and if you look at other things, more students coming here, more young londoners coming to live here, businesses are investing, so the evidence is overwhelmingly to the contrary. the bbc�*s been told the government faces legal action after deciding not to deliver a recommendation of the grenfell inquiry requiring building owners to provide personal evacuation plans for vulnerable people. ministers say they're too expensive and impractical to deliver. with the anniversary of the fire approaching on tuesday, "stay put" remains the advice for most people when a fire breaks out in a tower block. the government believes it is the safest option. tom symonds has more. a tower block fire. a major less

slowly north and eastwards, things will turn drier and brighter from the west, so some afternoon sunshine for parts of wales, the midlandsh teens, so pleasant enough when the sun is out, but that rain may lingerfor a good part of the day across scotland, and certainly feeling cooler than it has done this weekend. now, that front moves away, briefly it's drier, but not for long, because here's our next atlantic front through thursday, and this one is likely to generate some quite heavy spells of rain, but also develop a stronger wind as well. so, it turns progressively wet and windier through south—west england, wales and northern ireland through the morning, and all of that will be gradually working its way north and eastwards, and i think many of us will see quite a heavy spell of rain for a time on thursday, coupled with some strong winds. but they are coming from the south—west, so temperatures still in the mid to high teens. notice the squeeze in the isobars. we'll keep those strong winds as we head through friday, but then, slowly through the weekend, this area of high pressure just starts to nudge in from the south

across parts of the west country, wales, the midlands, east anglia, we'll see cloud bringing outbreakslly thundery rain at times. to the north of that, some spells of sunshine. showers into north—west scotland, maybe the odd one for northern ireland. temperatures for most of us 15, 16, maybe up to 18 degrees. whereas down towards the south, highs of 27 to 29 once again. and with that heat, well, we could see the odd thunderstorm popping up across the south—east of england as we go on into the evening, heavy rain still swarming across the channel islands and the south—west of england. and again, that could produce some thunder and lightning into sunday morning. so, there certainly will be some thunderstorms rumbling around, mostlyjust to the south of us on sunday. some could just clip into southern england, but for most of us, sunday is a mainly fine day, some spells of sunshine, some areas of patchy cloud, just the odd shower in the north. but with these northerly winds, we're cutting off the supply of heat from the continent, so temperatures by this stage 1a to 19 degrees. it will fee

overnight in the form of heavy showers and thunderstorms pushing northwards through south—west england, wales, the midlandssistent spell of rain developing through parts of eastern and northern england. drier for northern ireland with clear spells, clearer skies probably across the north and west of scotland. where we will see some of the lowest temperatures. so, five or six celsius here. but where we have got to the cloud and the rain, warming up to ten or ii. so, into tomorrow, we've still got this area of low pressure slowly pulling away into the north sea and still keeping a lot of cloud and some outbreaks of rain across eastern and northern england through the morning. it'll be gradually turning drier and brighter for the west. we'll still keep quite large amounts of cloud through much of england and wales, but more in the bright and sunny spells compared to today. still some showers developing through parts of wales, central, southern and south—west england. we could see a spell of more persistent rain arriving into the far south—west of england and the channel islands through the afternoon. cloudier
