To stop this madness. Temperature shoring soaring across the uk. A convincing win for the British And Irish Lions sets them up for the first test match against the all blacks. On bbc news we understand andy murray will donate any of his winnings at queens to the families of the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire. Welcome to bbc news. Philip hammond has called for a brexit deal that puts jobs has called for a brexit deal that putsjobs and has called for a brexit deal that puts jobs and prosperity first, saying the government was looking to manage migration, not shut it down. Giving his delayed Mansion House speech in london, he said the Current Border should be kept for what he said was a period of implementation. The governor of the Bank Of England said the time is not right for Interest Rate rises, as growth is falling and the impact of brexit on the economy is not clear. Andrew verity reports. The chancellors Brexit Agenda was supposed to be delivered over a banquet in Mansion House last week but was cancelled after the Grenfell Tower tragedy. Today he turned up at the same venue for a glass of water, no bowtie and not a single mention of austerity. Only sober warnings about what brexit should and should not mean. When the british people voted, they did not vote to become poorer or less secure. Voted, they did not vote to become poorer or less secure. They didnt vote to leave the eu and we will leave it. But it they did vote to leave it. But it they did vote to leave the eu. But in a way Prioritising Britishjobs Leave the eu. But in a way Prioritising British jobs and underpinning prosperity. Today one of the most successful british exports gave its own warning unfavourable divorce arrangements would be worse than any threat or challenge they face in modern times. Industry executives in the car industry think a favourable divorce could last five years, not two. The chances of a bespoke and comprehensive new deal with europe that we need will take a long time. We do not have a long time. The clock is ticking. We need a back up plan. We want to stay in the single market, ideally, certainly in the customs union, until we get that new arrangement. The car Industry Needs to know if in transition there will be tariffs to make cars more expensive and less competitive when exported to europe. If they do not know it is hard to Plan Investment and without that the economy cannot grow as quickly. They have been warnings that too hard a brexit could lead to other problems. If less people come to the country it could mean less tax, so the chancellor is Outspending Income or easily. In other words the deficit becomes worse. On that view the risk is the heart of the brexit, the higher the deficit. Its a hard brexit really did mean less jobs, especially in the city, the chancellor made his priority clear. The Bank Of England governor want any transition hard or soft would not be easy. Depending on whether or when any transition can be agreed, firms on either side of the channel might need to activate contingency plans. And before long we would all begin to find out the extent to which brexit is a gentle stroll on a smooth path towards a land of cake and consumption. Stroll along a smooth path towards a land of cake and consumption. The Bank Of England said it believes a week wage growth is likely while the transition takes place. And, it says, there is little it can do with Interest Rates to prevent that. Andrew verity, bbc news. Lets speak our assistant Political Editor norman smith. How should we read this from political perspective . Is this a pushback against a mays brexit . We did not get the chancellor launching a great remain revolt. But what we are seeing is that there is a public Arm Wrestling between what i would call the brexit enthusiast and the sceptics. Today, at the start of the talks, david davis said we we re start of the talks, david davis said we were sticking by our pre election plan for brexit. Borisjohnson arrived this morning saying it is all going very well. Philip hammond at the Mansion House striking a different note, saying people did not vote to become poorer, weve got to put the economy first, weve got to put the economy first, weve got to have a transitional arrangements a business does not face a cliff edge when we leave the european union. Yes, people want to clamp down on migration, but they dont wa nt to down on migration, but they dont want to shut it down. And we have got to protect the city. Because if the city suffers the british economy suffers. The reason the likes of Philip Hammond now feel emboldened to speak out publicly in this way is in part because mrs may is in the balls after the election, but also because business is beginning to flex x muscles. Because mrs may is enfeebled after the election. Car manufacturers are saying, just take it easy about leaving the single market. The trouble, though, with Arm Wrestling is that it can take some time to wear down your opponent. So it may be a while before we see who the winners and losers in this tussle in the cabinet over brexit. To see who are the winners and losers. Thanks very much. Police are continuing to question a suspect after a van mowed down worshippers at a mosque. Yesterday mornings attack, with others in recent months, have led to renewed calls to reverse cuts to police funding. Daniela relph reports. The flowers and messages closer Finsbury Park mosque. They are words of defiance, of unity. Overnight, 2a hours after the attack, worshippers returned to the mosque. The regular rhythm of prayer during ramadan was unbroken, despite the violence of the night before. The attack he added to the unrelenting pressure on the police in london. The mets commissioner was among those who visited yesterday and joined a vigil. Today she talked about the stretch on her force. We are not having fewer calls from the public for help. We are stretched. Im talking with the mayor and the government about the resources that we need, i believe, in the future. As well as the regular work in a busy capital city, the met police has faced an intense few weeks. With the terror attacks, as well as the loss of pc keith palmer, the former commissioner now believes any Government Cutbacks planned for the met have to be stopped. The cuts being considered, certainly for the met, need a reconsideration. As far asiam met, need a reconsideration. As far as i am understanding, they are to lose a further £4 million on top of what weve lost over the last few yea rs. What weve lost over the last few years. That means the met will be less in size since i left. Looking at what . The idea of continuously cutting the Police Services budget is seen as an absurdity at this stage. There is a calm here now after the distress of yesterday, but that doesnt take away from the fact that doesnt take away from the fact that this is a Community Feeling u nsettled that this is a Community Feeling unsettled and concerned. The Police Cordons have been moved. To look around Finsbury Park is back to normal. But yesterdays attack has deeply shocked the Muslim Community here. They feel targeted, vulnerable, and uneasy. We feel like something needs to be done. More things need to be done. Islamophobia, unfortunately, is on the rise and so is hate crime, so we have to do something to stop this madness. The cycle of violence will lead us nowhere. This is a community that needs reassurance. In a city with a Police Force Facing exceptional challenges. Daniela roth, bbc news, Finsbury Park. Daniela relph. Lets speak to our correspondent tomas morgan in cardiff. Police have been coming and going in the north east of cardiff here as they continue to investigate the residents they believe Darren Osborne has been living with his wife and children. One local person said he rang the police after spotting a man he believes was Darren Osborne, sleeping in a van, on saturday night. Ive been speaking to some of the residents who live in this area. There was a mix of responses about how to describe Darren Osborne, but the overwhelming emotion was of shock, that they could not believe that somebody who lived in this community could have possibly committed that horrific incident which happened in Finsbury Park in the early hours of yesterday morning. The van that was used, we understand, was hired in a village about 60 miles away to the north west of carter. It is unclear when it was hired and when it was driven to london. I6 when it was hired and when it was driven to london. 16 miles. Police in cardiff continuing to investigate here. Weve also heard from the family. I6 investigate here. Weve also heard from the family. 16 miles away to the north west of cardiff. The family say it is unbelievable and they feel devastated for the families who have been affected in this tragedy. Police continuing to investigate here. They will pass on any details from this residents to the metropolitan police. Thank you. The Serious Fraud office has charged Barclays Bank and four former Senior Executives with fraud. The case is connected to billions of pounds the bank attracted from qatari investors so it could avoid a Government Bailout during the financial crisis in 2008. Those charged include the banks former chief executive, john varley. Our business correspondent, Simon Gompertz reports. The end of an era for british banking, some of the biggest names go cap in hand to the government. The financial crisis, banks in danger of failing, lloyds and rbs had to be bailed out. But Barclays Bank got billions of pounds of help from oil rich gulf states, including qatar. Now the charge is over how that was done. The chief executive at the time, john varney, becomes the first head of a bank to Face Criminal Charges from the crisis. The first head of a bank to Face Criminal Charges from the crisism the allegations were to be proved, my sense is this would result in a fine for Barclays Bank, rather than the loss of its banking licence. It would be a fine that a bank of this size could come to be handled. The individuals themselves, the fact of being charge itself must be a hammer blow. It relates to two bouts of fundraising in 2008 which raised £12 billion, mostly by selling new ba rclays billion, mostly by selling new Barclays Bank shares. It focused on more than £330 million of advisory fees paid to qataris. There were questions about the transparency of these payments, and a loan of over £2 billion made by Barclays Bank to the state of qatar, just after the shares were being bought. John va rley faces two charges of conspiracy to commit fraud through false representation betweenjune and october of 2008. The head of banking at the time faces the same charge. The former boss of Barclays Wealth division faces one charge of conspiracy to commit fraud, as does richard bowes, another senior figure, who said he had no case to answer. Ba rclays figure, who said he had no case to answer. Barclays plc itself faces all the same charges as they company. It managed to avoid being rescued by the taxpayer in the financial crisis, yet it has become tainted by some of the most serious allegations to come out of that episode. Its response to those charges is to say it is considering its position, while it waits for more information from the Serious Fraud office. Fraud charges carry sentences of up to ten years if individuals are convicted but it doesnt stop there for Barclays Bank. The fca is considering a heavy fine. Barclays bank. The fca is considering a heavy fine. Ba rclays bank bank. The fca is considering a heavy fine. Barclays bank says it faces investigations in the us, as well. Simon gompertz, bbc news. The former business secretary, sir vince cable, has become the first to throw his hat in the ring to replace tim farron as leader of the liberal democrats. After losing his seat in 2015, he has just returned as mp for twickenham in this months general election. Declaring his candidacy, he said he would work to secure a second referendum on any brexit deal. 180 families directly affected by the Grenfell Tower fire have now received more than £200,000 from the government. The payments were recorded by the newly formed Grenfell Response Team which is now managing the official response and support operation to the tragedy. Richard lister is at Grenfell Tower. Whilst i am sure the money will be welcome richard but many questions for many families remain unanswered. Yes, and work is continuing to get a nswe rs yes, and work is continuing to get a nswers to yes, and work is continuing to get answers to some of those Big U Na Nswered answers to some of those big unanswered questions. The police are conducting a criminal investigation to see who is responsible for this disaster. And the fire service is continuing its Recovery Operation. We have seen a Drone Surveying the building for much of the morning. The Recovery Operation will take weeks. Until it is concluded we wont have a final, precise, confirmed figure about the number of People Killed here. The police have not updated their figure of 79 presumed dead they gave yesterday. There was lots of frustration here. As is the pace of the Relief Operation being carried out. So far, the Grenfell Response Team said they made progress in rehousing about 78 of the families that were made homeless by this disaster in neighbouring boroughs. But we are getting anecdotal evidence of families still living with friends and relatives, waiting for a call to find out where they will be rehoused. The money has been given out, £5,500 promised to each family. The 180 families have money so far, but they are getting an average of £1100. Still work to be done there. My £1100. Still work to be done there. My sense here today is really the community trying to move on after a really terrible week of trauma. There are lots of many people on the streets. There are not so many people on the streets. People are trying to get back to reality with the remnants of this building reminding them every day of the tragedy they have lived through. Thank you. Our top story this lunchtime. The chancellor uses his Mansion House speech to say he wants to make the economy the First Priority in brexit negotiations, while the governor of the Bank Of England warned brexit was likely to make people poorer. Coming up. Sleepless nights. More of us are finding it difficult to get a good nights kip as Sleep Disorders are on the rise. Coming up in sport, its reported that Cristiano Ronaldo will testify in the Tax Fraud Case which has led to him claiming he wants to leave real madrid.

Searing temperatures and high winds have created a raging forest fires in portugal which have seen more than 60 people lose their lives and more than 100 injured. The fire first took hold in a densely forested region in the pedrogao grandee area, north east of the capital, lisbon. More than a thousand Fire Fighters are still battling to get control and some villages have been all but burnt to the ground. Jonny dymond reports. From the air, smoke, fire and forest. After four days, portugal still burns. On the ground, desperate attempts to control the blaze. And up close all locals can do is watch and wait as the fire consumes their country. Dozens are dead, more than 100 injured. Through the night firefighters battled the blaze. The work hard and dangerous. The fire seemingly unending. The new day brought not hope but more smoke. The fire had taken anything in its path. Residents spoke of terrifying attempts to escape the blaze. Translation when i arrived fire was everywhere, i couldnt turn back so i continued thinking to run from fire. There was a lot of fire, there was fire everywhere. The Authorities Say that the fire could be controlled today. But the commander of portugals National Emergency services is more cautious. Although 70 of the fire, he says, is under control, there is a lot of work to do. The 30 which are still active worry us a lot. The destruction is terrible. Homes, roads, people trapped in their cars of the fire swept around them. As portugal mourns its dead, it hopes for an end to the conflagration. But temperatures are rising again and humidity is falling. For portugals exhausted firefighters, there is more to come. Jonny dymond, bbc news. An american student detained by north korea for 17 months has died days after being released and flown home to the United States in a coma. Otto warmbier, who was 22, was sentenced to 15 years hard labour after being convicted of stealing a political poster. This was the last the outside world heard from otto warmbier. Cries of anguish as he was sentenced to 15 years hard labour in north korea. Save this poor and innocent scapegoat. His crime stealing a hotel sign in what seemed like a student prank. 17 months later, he returned home to ohio, in a coma. A week later he is dead. North korea says the coma resulted from an illness more than a year ago. But americans are sceptical. Why did north korea keep it secret if it did happen so long ago, they ask. President trump called the regime brutal. Otto warmbier has just passed away. He spent a year and a half in north korea. A lot of bad things happened but at least we got him home to be with his parents where they were so happy to see him even though he was in a very tough condition. But he just passed away a little while ago. Its a brutal regime. The family issued a statement that north korea had killed their son. It said that. There are at least six south korean citizens and three us citizens being held by north korea. The president of south korea here wants access to them to check on the health. North korea is very unlikely to grant that. In Otto Warmbiers hometown, signs of welcome have become marks of mourning. In america, his death is prompting outrage against the regime in pyongyang. Stephen evans, bbc news, south korea. Its a condition that stops people breathing during sleep but most sufferers dont even know they have it. Its called sleep apnoea and its a condition thats looked for in a Sleep Disorder test. The numbers of such tests carried out by the nhs in england has doubled in nearly a decade. Jamie coulson reports. We all need sleep, it is vital for our physical health. Without it you are at increased risk of heart disease, high Blood Pressure and stroke. But for some getting a good nights rest is an impossibility. Ow iain gordon suffers from Rapid Eye Movement sleep behaviour disorder, which means he acts out his dreams. I shout, i kick out, i throw my arms around, i punch my wife, i slap my wife. All those sorts of things throughout the night at any time and it will just suddenly start. Josie beatson suffers with a different type of Sleep Disorder and has to go to bed every night wearing a mask. She has sleep apnoea, the most common sleep condition when the muscles in the throat relax and the person temporarily stops breathing. The lack of oxygen causes her to wake up repeatedly during the night. The longest episode was 72 seconds. I cant hold my breath that long i cant swim underwater for 72 seconds. I was worried about the effect it was having on my body, on my heart and on my lungs. I know over a long period of time it can have an effect on your heart. Last year the nhs in england carried out more than 140,000 sleep diagnostic tests to establish if patients have sleep apnoea. Thats twice as many as nine years ago. Patients will present with symptoms of tiredness. They may dismiss that but this is a level of tiredness that can impact on productivity at work, it can increase accidents at work, it can reduce social life and quality of life. And it can also increase accident risk. Carole bennett from leeds has been successfully treated for sleep apnoea but at one stage it threatened to ruin her life. I got very depressed, very anxious, it got to the stage where i wanted to kill myself. And looking back now i cant believe it got that bad, but at the time i just thought, whats the point of going on. Life was awful. Poor sleep reportedly costs the uk £40 billion a year in lost Economic Activity and can blight the lives of those who are effected. Oh my god jamie coulson, bbc news. The British And Irish Lions have comfortably won their final Warm Up Match in new zealand before the first test against the all blacks on saturday. They beat the chiefs 311 6. Coach Warren Gatland insists there are still places up for grabs in his squad for auckland and that they were reaching Peak Performance at the right time. Our sport correspondent Katie Gornall was in hamilton to watch the match. Wherever they go, the heat is always on the lions. Some may view waikato as just a pit stop before the first test but for several players this was a last chance to impress. The opportunities were there, said gatland, Althouthoe Marler may have squandered his. His departure to the sin bin forced the introduction of scottish prop allan dell. One of gatlands controversial late call ups, he made quite the cameo. After two defeats, a win of any description would do for the midweek lions, who just wanted a break. Like here throuthack nowell. In the second half, the lions bullied their hosts. A penalty try stretched their lead but there was more than just brute force on show. Nowell proved they could do the pretty stuff too. This was becoming a relaxing day trip for the lions, a light work out and then a leisurely stroll over. Jared payne convinced the chiefs the game was up. For gatland, a waikato legend, this was the perfect homecoming on the toughest of tours. We said if we had to drop a couple of games, it wouldnt be the end of the world because it was about improving and Getting Better from week to week and i think we have demonstrated that as a group. I think we have got better, the longer we have been in new zealand. This was a comprehensive win for the lions, the first for the midweek team on this tour. And although it came against a young and depleted chiefs side, it keeps the Momentum Building ahead of saturdays all importa nt first test. Katy gornall, bbc news, in hamilton. If you woke up with the sun streaming through your windows yet again today you may not be surprised to learn that we are on course for the longest heatwave in 20 years, with tomorrow predicted to be the Hottestjune Day since 1976. For some this may be good news, but for others there are warnings about the temperatures which have reached over 30 degrees celsius. The met office has issued a Health Warning for those most vulnerable to ensure they keep hydrated and cool. Duncan kennedy is in brighton. Mid afternoon. On what is an absolutely fabulous day, notjust here in brighton but across great swathes of the country and thousands of people who are lucky enough to be off work are enjoying it but you are right, it has come with that met office heat wave warning to be very careful. Put on lots of protection and also watch out especially for the young and the elderly. In brighton is notjust the temperature shooting up. The towns i360 tower is the new beacon on the beach for this sun drenched coastline. Can i ask you what you think the glorious weather . Im loving it, it is hard to keep the baby cool though but its very nice. You are wilting a bit . A little bit its a bit warm. Do you have a maximum temperature is karen baird . This is about my limit i think. Yes. No higher . I dont think so. They like the sun and sand so much heat in brighton and they have got themselves an exhibition to celebrate it and no wonder. The met is saying we have not had temperatures at this consistent level in june for 20 temperatures at this consistent level injune for 20 years. Britain is now officially on amber heatwave alert, the second highest. Here in Berkshire Temperatures are shimmering around 30 and in london it has gone higher. So whats going on . The reason it is so hot at the moment is because we have had some really warm air arriving on the adam dixon topic, it has been in place for a few days and has been getting warmer and woman for a few days and has been getting warmer and woman at the atlantic subtropics. Nhs in when is warning high risk groups like the elderly to stay out of the sun but some are more alike than that which is right here at Whipsnade Zoo in ted bishop it is hoses and home made lollies that are being lapped up in bedfordshire. They can be fruit in moulds, we make a pizza out with which we can give to the monkees, it can even be something a bit more disgusting as we have seen with the tigers. But not everything is melting in this Relentless Energy sapping heat. What does this weather do to business . This weather obviously makes business a lot better, it has come early for us, especially with fathers day and the bike ride weekend and we have a few more days and then it will come down so it brings some forward a bit. With the Summer Solstice just hours away, this is turning into a june to remember, a Midmonth Temperature Spike that comes with a double message of enjoyed but be careful. And of course it is notjust here in britain that are enjoying or end during these temperatures, as we saw earlier, portugal is enduring these temperatures with a0 plus degrees creating those forest fires and it is the same in france and spain. Temperatures are maybe five or even 10 Degrees Higher than here. The temperatures in britain are expected in the Southern Parts to continue at or around the 30 mark for another few days and the warning yet again from the met office, nhs england and others is pleased please enjoy it but be careful. Thank you very much. Heres chris fawkes. The heatwave will finish with a flourish before cooler
