We didnt heara we didnt hear a lot about that particular issue but that was very much an expected line. When i was talking to officials, they said it will be brought up but india also realises that there is bipartisan support in washington for reforms in the age when the pro gram. Since they decided it will be more of a getting to know each other sort of meeting, from their point of view, so meeting, from their point of view, so far, it has gone down pretty well. So when you say it has gone down pretty well, where do you think both sides will agree on indians going into america and working in key sectors . Right now, berries and review by for government agencies. Where they are looking to plug the loopholes which were being used to exploit this programme, indians, from what ive heard, after talking to them, they would be happy if it is just the loopholes that a targeted and spend not scrapped.

Now, uk ministers say that 75 high rise buildings, in 26 local authority areas, have failed fire safety tests. The company which makes the cladding thats thought to have been used on the tower has now withdrawn the product from worldwide sale. Tom symonds reports. This is the fire door leading to the fire exit. Roger evans is staying put in his camden flat despite the Mass Evacuation of his neighbours. But today he was told this. Yes, apparently all the doors need replacing. Why . Because last week Camden Council realised these towers were covered with aluminium panels capable of burning in a fire. With that in mind, the advice from fire Safety Experts was every door needs to be a fire door. What you think the fact you are behind a door that is not a fire door . Well, id never thought about it, i assumed everything was safe, its a council property, its meant to be maintained well. Evidently, we have been living in a potential death trap. The Communities Secretary told the commons it was one of a number of safety issues with the blocks. Most astonishingly there were hundreds, Literally Hundreds Of Fire Doors missing. The estimate by Camden Council itself is that they need at least 1000 fire doors because they were missing from those five blocks. The Council Leader has been in the job a month. My understanding is that we are told the council made a cost cut by removing the fire doors from the specification. I mean, you are new in thejob but what does that make you think about the way this councils being run . Following grenfell we need to take a look, nationally, at our whole Building Regulations and fire safety measures. We have seen across the country people failing these tests, we acted swiftly in camden to get the information. Right now, my priority is ive got residents who need somewhere to sleep tonight and im all out trying to make sure theyre safe and secure. Following that, im going to be asking those questions. I have the same questions and i will be on it but i have to prioritise getting my residents back and safely into their blocks. Camden is worst affected but around the Country Councils are removing the aluminium panels from their towers and sending them for fire safety testing. The tests are happening so far in secret at this research centre. Samples from 75 towers have been sent, every single one has failed. The Building Regulations are complex but they start from a basic principle, the external walls of the building shall adequately resist the spread of fire. It may well be the case that the regulations and the related guidance need to be updated to take account of a change in technology in the Building Industry but secondly we are concerned that the current regulations and guidance are not being applied and enforced strictly enough. The inquests into four more of the victims opens today. A corner, the police and a public enquiry will eventually consider why they died and what has gone wrong with fire safety.

Scientists in canada are launching whats set to become the Worlds Largest study into the effects of Sleep Deprivation on the brain. They want hundreds of thousands of people world wide to do tests online to see how much the amount of sleep we get affects our ability to function. Heres our medical correspondent fergus walsh. We spend nearly a third of our lives asleep. It is vital for our physical and mental health. But were getting less sleep than ever before. His visual cortex, his eyes are open but theres actually not much going on. British neuroscientist adrian 0wen, based in ontario, canada, believes Sleep Deprivation may be having a serious effect on our brainpower. Every day we make hundreds of decisions, we remember hundreds of things. We make difficult decisions like, should i buy a house and should i get married . But we also have to remember many simple things, like where i parked the car or what i intended to buy on the way home from work. All of these things can be affected by lack of sleep. You go to sleep for four hours, and then i am going to personally wake all of you up. I joined volunteers at Western University 0ntario, trying out his test, which anyone can sign up for online. Theyre designed to reveal how our brains are functioning reasoning, memory, and decision making. To demonstrate how tiredness may affect that, we stayed up until liam, and then had just four hours sleep. But all too soon. Good morning, fergus. Time to get up we were about to repeat the brain tests wed done the previous night. How are you feeling . Err. Im feeling. Like i havent had enough sleep. Most of our scores went down compared to the night before. How did you do this morning . Worse. This was the worst you ever did . This was the worst ever, yes. 0h, kisses for your sister, thats really nice. But sylvie, whose daughters wake her several times a night, improved her score. Maybe ive just gotten used to functioning on very little sleep. I have to be on as soon as my kids wake up. As for me. I finished and ive done quite badly i also did the tests while having my brain scanned. After a normal nights sleep, my brain was functioning well. The bright orange blobs are areas of increased activity. And this is the scan done after four hours sleep. Theres not much going on. Its pretty clear there is much less activity in these areas of the brain that we know are crucial for things like decision making, Problem Solving and memory. So, our 24 hour culture could be having a serious impact on society. This study should reveal how much sleep we need for our brains to be at their best. Fergus walsh, bbc news, ontario, canada.
