Failed new government fire safety tests commissioned following the grand failed terror disaster the tests were more thought of the previous checks which only examined cladding from high rise buildings the new test the closing in combination with the form and chelation behind it Peter absence from the industry magazine and site hosing the government's initially look to a 1000000 composition panels which were found in Graham fell and then after appointing an expert panel. They looked to what they called a whole system so rather than just the pound or the insulation behind it and the way it's put together with the fire breaks and so on what's coming out from councils in the last few days is that the 1st one of those tests which was a system that was on Gram Fell has failed. Councils see the cost of making building safe could run into tens of millions of pounds some local authorities are calling on central government to foot the bill here's the chancellor Philip Hammond we will ensure that any works that need doing get carried out there should be no case where lack of funding prevents safety works from being carried out but where landlords have reserves themselves to carry out that work that's the way they should do it if there are local authority landlords out there or housing associations that really do not have access to the funding then we will ensure that arrangements are put in place to allow them access to the funding Professor Edward Bowditch from the University of the West of Scotland is a risk management expert he says Argent action is needed to protect residents the cladding must be removed immediately and in the meantime I the people who live in those buildings should be offered alternative accommodation or something should be done to make the buildings safe in the interim while the clothing is removed removing the clothing itself may actually constitute a fire risk in itself so there's another argument there for perhaps evacuating and moving people while the news comes as police investigating the grand filter or a fire say they have reasonable grounds to suspect that corporate manslaughter offenses may have been committed Detectives say they're considering bringing charges against the local council and the tenant management organization that run the block that means officials are likely to be questioned by detectives the Metropolitan Police has come under pressure to act from residents and survivors Clary mehndi lost 2 relatives in the fire last month she says the police investigation isn't moving quickly enough if there was a terrorist would have the grandmother the great grandmother everybody would have been arrested how come it's not one person has been arrested on suspicion of anything we know who's involved in this. People have a moral or just harmful if you have to. The whistle blowing in the eyes Asians either Mr Blair So what exactly is corporate manslaughter Well it's a law that allows a corporation to be punished for conduct that leads to a person's death because it applies to corporations that can be committed by an individual so no one can be arrested the punishment is an unlimited fine and not present but it's possible other organizations and individuals could be investigated for other offenses which do carry a jail term look to get us is a criminal lawyer and legal editor for the online magazine spiked and he says corporate manslaughter is a relatively new offense prosecuted under this Act No one no one individual will go to jail it will be the organization as a whole that's far and. Catastrophic the high side but then they could launch separate prosecutions against individuals for example gross negligence gross or 2 which does include the possibility of prison and in the last few minutes Matthew Bolton college which is part of Birmingham Metropolitan College has revealed it hasn't passed the new stricter fire safety tests however despite this the college has released a statement which is says the Fire and Rescue Service are satisfied that the college has and place appropriate fire safety measures to mitigate the risks from fire and the college has declared that the building is safe for continued use We'll have more throughout the program. Well the prime minister of Pakistan now i Sharif has resigned following a decision by the country's supreme court to disqualify him from office the ruling came after an investigation into his family's wealth if it was a 2015 Panama Papers leak which is linked to his Cho wish which is linked as children to offshore companies Mr Sharif has constantly denied any wrongdoing in the case or to tell us more I've been speaking to our Pakistan correspondent can do well what the court what a panel of 5 judges unanimously decided was that the prime minister should be disqualified in the reason they said he should be disqualified is that he had not been honest in his dealings with a anti corruption inquiry that's been going on in Pakistan a very high profile inquiry that began with the pad of paper leaks of last year and they said that the prime minister and his family had not been able to provide a convincing money trail of where funds came from legitimately came from to buy for luxury central London flats which it was revealed in their Panama paper leaks were owned by a number of his children and so that's why the court said that he should be disqualified they haven't found specific evidence of corruption. That's been committed by the prime minister or is or his family but they say that he hasn't been honest and they also said that he had concealed the fact that he was involved with with it with a cop with a company that he should've that he should have declared to Pakistani authorities that he didn't and i remind us what these Panama papers wore to the Panama paper leaks were. Was the leak of millions of documents relating to a law firm which dealt with offshore companies so those are companies where it's often impossible to know who actually owns them so for example in this case there were 4 central London flat. The heart of London presumably very expensive properties and. Anyone trying to find out who owned those flats they would just come up with that with the names of companies nes call and Nielsen Ltd but no one would know who actually owned those companies because they were shrouded by secrecy laws but when these pan of a paper leaks happened then we got the full information about who was involved with these offshore companies and that's when even the prime minister picked on the washer if his name wasn't in the documents his children's names were in the documents and people began to ask questions about well how could his children who were relatively young at the time afford to buy on their own such expensive central London properties and that's where this inquiry really began. Now i Sharif is the 18th prime minister of Pakistan none of those 17 previous asses have completed their full term in office so what was a feeling in Pakistan this legacy. Well as you say this is coming up to the 70th anniversary of Pakistani independence and no prime minister has ever served a full term in office in fact when or no I should have took power in 2013 he became the 1st prime minister to take power in a democratic transition I take over from another democratically elected prime minister and he had I think it hoped not only disturb his fall term but to contest next year's general elections and to try and try and win those as well but there's a split really within Pakistan within the Pakistani side about how they view this case some people critics of the prime minister view this as a real unprecedented victory for accountability in a country that has a real problem with political corruption but other people worry that actually. As some of the prime ministers supporters have suggested that the country's powerful military establishment are behind these allegations and that actually this is weakening the democratic process in Pakistan because this is under under the kind of veil of accountability Actually this is this is kind of politics by a deep state even even though that the Pakistani army is denied any involvement in that in the political opposition in Pakistan has said well this is part of a global political. Corruption Scandal the pan of a paper leaks in and the Wall Street is just the latest and perhaps the most high profile victim of it the B.B.C.'s Pakistan correspondent so can do it come out in. The headlines on b.b.c. Radio Scotland at 80 minutes after 4 of the chancellor Philip Hammond has said British people might not notice any changes in the immediate period following breaks and 2019 the Scottish Environment Protection Agency has raised formal concerns about the Trump organizations proposals for an. Golf Course in Aberdeenshire and a 30 year old man suffered life threatening injuries after being stabbed in Glasgow's Castlemilk Why did we find ourselves in the situation do you think how would you rate that you know against other risks what are the consequences a some discount doing this so what were the findings of that committee getting to the heart of the story asking the questions you'd like the answers to we caught up with Good Morning Scotland and head home with news strong the latest stories across the on b.b.c. Reduced call. This is news right from b.b.c. Radio Scotland's No the smallest school in Britain on one of the most facts the most remote island of the organism has caused after its only pupil left to go to high school the tiny school building is now officially on standby in case another primary age child arrives on the island but the closure has cast a shadow over the future of the island itself which has a population of just 50 and has served by only 2 ferries a week I've been speaking to a counsellor Kevin Woodbridge who lives on North Lawn see what we've known for some time that this was on the horizon as it's finally come to person it's very obviously. Very keen to attract new young founders there's quite a few activities going on to try and make this happen Ok So explain to me some of those initiatives I mean what needs to be done to attract more families to live in North Boston quality of life in the island can be improved considerably broadband speed is listen up megabit per 2nd though we only get a very well so we can pretty lucky and I think that's one of the major issues here terminal it is absolutely hopeless for instance we've heard for excursion trips this year we only managed to get one for 70 plus people came our search for the island is quite a big. Event and this is great for these to look at things to be 2 steps Lozano's But when you're such an unreliable sea service or such great the world. And we. For instance when go up to 5 weeks without a ferry we do have an excellent plane so it's for school constrained by comparison I wonder where do you see the population coming from in the future would you be trying to target people in the other islands in Orkney or are you looking perhaps to attract people from the mainland perhaps even from from England Wales I think it's a mixture or we live in a modern society known to new different couples in population but hopefully we will be able to retain our own young people to look young people from yarn and younger people to let you know those who looked would like to come back so you think there are a lot of people who grew up there who have water are keen to return but there are barriers preventing them from returning I think if they can find sustainable and enjoyable employment with a new and good internet connection could help until there's a number of young people known to look to come back and live here because it's a wonderful place to come to be brought up and personal who have advantages in terms of employment in the what could they do but plenty of opportunities there's certain pressure work the you probably know about neurons the sheep which are seaweed heating sheep and there's a there's a divergence right around the island there's plenty of opportunity now to seek employment to maintain and even work to shepherd something which has been. You know being considered you know and there's a wall Miller here which could probably expand and need new premises has its current premises are too small for it to expand but that could produce employment there is 'd interest in developing seaweed technologies and perhaps cosmetic projects through seaweed there's a possibility of a microbrewery or micro distillery or there's no interesting that you can do here but you do need a quality of life to make it worthwhile and where you have deliveries of fresh food with us once a week it's just not really attractive firm when you can go to the other ones we're looking at daily things like that so while domestic are you about the future well. I'm always optimistic on the people living the most All Seasons prehistoric times so there's always going to be population here but I think. Desperately need to stick it proper infrastructures so that we are on the same boat as the rest of the country and. Kunstler Kevin Woodbridge on North Ronald c. Who would say very much like his old to move and to help populate violence the dull and pasture is becoming. Well making the headlines certainly is welcoming a delegation from the Shire of bland in Australia it follows dulls successful pairing with the town of boring in the us so no we have dull bland and boring and there's excitement in the village today as the Council prepares a civic reception for the bland party including its mayor Eva Fletcher who's chair of the dull and we my community council has been sharing today's plans with me this evening 56 we've got the mayor all right and we say we're also he's coming to visit to have an ascetic reception for him.

And also to sing the we hopefully will be able to pick a male and sure India now is this in any way an official 20 Well when I say 20 and it's actually appearing so I better get. Going and it will be it's going to be called the leak of extraordinary community so how does appearing deaf or from an official twinning Well I think appear in their 1st pick which is a severe approval from the current p.k. So it fell from pear Council. So this is appearing and that's what. So this is mean that bland will not make a on sued the signpost sides dull life thank you. I mean we've already. Boarding on the same course and you know I think we're part of the most photographed thing course and. You know there are people who really queue up to get a picture taken with it I mean is that part of the idea behind this huge each trying to increase to resume or something so I would have thought the idea of people staying in dull the thing that attracts people to live there is the fact that you can get a bit of peace and quiet. Left in the profile of the. You know your own. Strength since community spirit I think and we shall be having. Street festival. Of August dull bland and boring because John Barnes Yes a message.

I think we're actually scraping the Sufis that is a veteran community in Scotland particularly in the northeast with a long heritage of military connections the veterans and their families deserve the help and support we can provide we owe it to them and they found it but whether the service can continue to support veterans like Jack in the long term is uncertain the Libre fund money has run out the Scottish Government agreed to pick up half the costs but the other half must be matched by local health boards the Scottish government says it's working to explore future sustainability and has given interim funding to some health boards b.b.c. Scotland understands that interim money is until the end of the year the case has been taken up by former Army Major Mike rumbles now a Lib Dem m.s.p. For the North East of Scotland we have scandal if this was allowed to fall for a very relatively short short amount of money in the great scheme of things for the amount of benefit that comes through from this 1st service it's a real help to to accept his personnel that should not be allowed to fail and it must not fail the thoughts of veterans 1st point failing is almost too much for John Dunlop to contemplate he taught want to thank is going to happen because it's frightening it would be. As frightening what happens you know for Jack and hundreds of other Scottish war veterans and that question remains troubling. If you're a stalker reporting there the United Nations has urged Venezuela's government not to prevent peaceful protests 2 days before an election which the opposition fears could load presents Maduro to rewrite the constitution Sunday's vote to elect an assembly which would be able to make changes potentially strengthening the president's powers the opposition say it would allow him to become a dictator for a general strike or last 2 days has paralyzed the capital Caracas the government knows says it will ban all demonstrations until Tuesday the b.b.c. Has spoken to activists who say the government is using torture and imprisonment without trial against those who oppose it a claim the government denies So who are the people hoping to overthrow President material world lied to me or Hernandez reports from Caracas saying anything at the moment they are and I'm right there on the prayers before the storm this group of young protesters some in their early teens comes together in a circle to pray ahead of yet another and to government protest in Caracas they've been going on almost every day since April almost a 100 people have died in them and thousands have been arrested no wonder they feel the need to pray. And. Tens of thousands of Venezuelans have taken to the streets to protest against President Nicolas Maduro who they blame for food and medicine shortages and the highest inflation the world many are also protests and against the recently announced plans to rewrite the constitution. Within these protests there's a group of young men and women who call themselves the resistance. Even if I die the choice of how long this is going to go on for $100.00 countries. They carry makeshift shields to protect themselves from birdshot fire of them by the police or National Guard what they carry gardening gloves to pick up the tear gas canisters and throw them back as most of the marches end up like this. This is what normally ends up happening almost every day for those 3 months protests end up in Bali where young men young students boys or girls could end up injured and some of them even killed. If you want to find out who's behind the demonstration had to university I was a student here myself in my day we were protesting against the rise in the bus fare today it's a rather more desperate story many of the students in the resistance shy away from the media to avoid unwanted exposure but a group of them has agreed to meet me only after many days of talks to win their trust Rafael is one of them we have changed their voices to protect them the way I see it the resistance is everybody who is against the regime many people see it as are the teachers ship and if you look at what they are doing that's what it is really at the moment they are even trying to change our constitution which is what all our ancestors fought for many of the students I met told me they came from working class sectors who've been severely hit by the economic collapse in Venezuela one of them told me how his grandmother died after not finding the drugs he needed but the Venezuelan government has called them terrorists and accuses them of staging a coup to topple President Maduro Venezuela's state attorney Luis order they got the us has said that the government's response to the protests have been out of proportion she's now bearing the brunt of the government criticism to say in this even if. It seems to be that everyone here is a terrorist. But what I think is happening here is state terrorism thousands of students and demonstrators have been jailed in the last 3 months some of them have been put on trial in military courts and others have even been held by the intelligence services after a judge has ordered their release. I posed these issues to Freddy better Mal a Venezuelan high ranking minister who gave a rare interview to the b.b.c. Mr Blair now passed on the blame back to the Tony General and well I think you know . There have been more than 100 people killed in street protests but out of these almost 20 a National Guardsman or policeman killed with homemade rocket launchers Why has the attorney general not made any comment about this I wouldn't hesitate to say that Mrs Ortega Dia's is responsible through dereliction of duty for the deaths that have occurred on the streets of Caracas. Not only have there been protests on a regular basis in Caracas there have also been vigils like this one to remember the fallen and the anti-government protest but also on people's minds here is what will happen on Sunday the government's proposed election to elect the members of a new assembly that will rewrite the constitution for the opposition it will strengthen President Maduro his grip on power which is why they want their country's leader to call for fresh elections That's the B.B.C.'s of law to me your hand it is reporting from Caracas. The headlines now it's a quarter to 5 for the chancellor says there's broad agreement on cabinet to the should be a transition period of up to 3 years after Britain leaves the e.u.

Radio Scotland travel. No British Airways parent company i e g has reported a big jump in profits up almost 40 percent in the 1st 6 months of the year compared with the same period in 2016 they rose to 870000000 pounds no this is the spite the massive power a failure b.a. Which you may remember caused the cancellation of hundreds of flights over the May bank holiday as well as strikes by cabin crew Well the boss of i.a.g. Willie Walsh said it was excellent results in difficult circumstances I would accept that so we let those customers are with apologia as we've said we've got it wrong we are doing everything we can to make good the disruption that the customers experience but it was an isolated event and I think you've got to focus on the fact that British Airways passenger numbers continue to increase we're seeing record number of customers flying with us and I think the results reflect well as speak to the travel editor of The Independent Simon Calder what to be learned from today's result Simon that British Airways is a very very profitable company I agee made almost all its profits from b. a And of course they would have been even higher were it not for the meltdown that cost the airline $56000000.00 pounds and it remains the case that as long as a 3rd runway at London Heathrow is simply on the drawing board be able continue to extract a premium from the slots it has there and so even though the cabin crew strike the i.t. Failure cost it lots of goodwill it's very very strong not quite as profitable as Ryanair but not far behind Yeah surprisingly the i.t. Failure didn't affect the company more is that just a reflection of just generally how successful the company is yes it's a very good market for be at the moment and of course plenty of Scottish travelers are among the 75000 or so passengers who are grounded by that power problem over the bank holiday weekend but it's the case that passengers tend to be a bit thick or so. So even though there are lots of people who swore they'd never fly be a again if you got the price right if you got the timing right it might. They'll probably come back and the cabin crews stoppage which has been dragging on since January set to continue through the summer peak but it's actually only affecting one percent of flights although annoyingly as normally happens when there's any kind of disruption in Heathrow Scotland gets disproportionately affected early this week writes from Aberdeen Edinburgh and Glasgow to Heathrow were cancelled no of course people were up in arms when b.a. Got rid of their free sandwiches and cups of tea and all the rest of it that was a curtain clear differential differentiator between it and the budget airlines and yet so far it doesn't seem as if customers are saying right stuff be a while will fly Ryanair instead Well yes all sorts of things in play there this came into effect early in January for short haul economy class passengers and if you go back to 9095 when I 1st tried Easyjet between Glasgow and Luton the concept that you had to pay for your cup of tea and a biscuit on board outrageous but of course we've all got used to that and it well some people really miss the normal gin and tonic they used to have of course possibly equal and opposite numbers of people enjoy not paying for somebody else's g.m.t. On the 88 in the morning flight from Edinburgh to Heathrow and of course you can buy some decent food either before you take off or when you land rather than taking a chance on what's served on board Richard Branson been taking a pop at British Airways What's he been saying Ok well if you go onto the Virgin Atlantic website you will find a message from the Virgin Atlantic founder he's he's been tweeting the hash tag Abba which is short for anyone but British Airways and today only they have a special 50 pound off deal that's not a virtuous move but if you go on to it you'll be able to see this. Basically anybody who quotes Abba to the call center staff will get 50 quid off a flight he's really cashing in on what he believes is a movement to all the people just getting fed up with b.a. But of course Virgin Atlantic is not what it was this time yesterday because he's flogging most of his majority stake in the airline he founded in 1904 to Air France . But he does say that version Atlantic will remain a British airline and he and his family will be continue to be closely involved one more question for you Simon since March passengers haven't been able to take laptops and tablets in their hand baggage on in but by and by on flights from talk 11 and Jordan Egypt Tunisia Saudi Arabia but we learned you got to read those deadly disease but from today we're hearing that the ban of flights into Turkey that has been eased is alright it's being eased very very slightly and possibly confusingly so if you're flying for example Turkish Airlines from Istanbul to Edinburgh you will no longer need to check in your laptop tablet accessories before you board. Get those travel in the hold However if you are flying say for a man and Talia in Turkey to Glasgow you will have to do the Department of Transport this afternoon started to ease the ban Easyjet says it's going to try and get the ban on Turkish rights lifted early next week but at the moment almost every flight from those countries you very. Dexterously mentioned. Is still covered by the change and some people in aviation are saying you should have change all at once rather than this piecemeal approach but certainly if you are on one of the effective flights and life is going to get a little bit easier again Ok Simon thanks for that Simon Calder there try. Editor of The Independent no Scotland's women's football scores are back whole Mokhtar a disappointing end to their European Championship campaign Scotland beat Spain last night in their final group match but the one nil win wasn't enough to see them through to the next stages off the tournament Jean-Louis has more. Back on home soil and off the Euros don't beat but positives to ponder all hurts been. Lots of tears Yeah so it's hard to sum up but we're very proud of ourselves and I'm immensely proud over them both and I think it was good that we could show anyway in the last game what we're about and Scotland head coach and a senior all believes when the dust has settled good will come from Scotland's effort massive we'll learn all the time but I hope that this has shown that you know this is a sport that is worth investing in because it's such a fantastic sport for girls and women to do it on an elite level and on a grassroots level and I just hope that everyone will be hind be behind these players and the Scottish teams of course and yeah I just hope that we can get the their wheels spinning in Scotland for 4 girls and women's football though so we get me have more resources and more players playing. Thank. You for telling you what they have to do against Spain last night and after a goal this 40 minutes Caroline we are punished comical Spanish defending I get to the top cut but it's true. That the other right to. Show you. The way. She can go. Scotland one nil up and qualifying still on but that was only part of the story the Scots needed Anglin to beat Portugal and the Lionesses were Julie obliging the fleet but Scotland needed another goal to go through and this should have made it 2 nil walk of Scottish jerseys on the age of the penalty you know they going to let us have a coded we aren't try to push that one she arrived at the park post and the approach just had to score a haunting miss by Leon Crites in Spain were pressing to miss a good advice off the cross bar 1st the cross bar opposite pole to pole to create Shiva gave up to the full package at all for a fight to keep and then a double cleat and skip them at b. Would this be Scotland's night Lisa Evans tried her lot with the clock taking a shit if it's got to that the other way David says that no 2nd rule should place in the quarterfinals an emotional end to anice in your Scotland career and an emotional end to Scotland's util campaign but one goalkeeper Gemma fi says the Scotland players will learn from just yeah we're obviously devastated we were hoping to be going to work today rather than coming home although it's great to come home but obviously proud that we finished with a performance like that and that means gold Playboy when we finally monist of the spin that still Marcus a major champion said. You know we we performed phenomenally last night and we got the result that we deserved to bowl is tournament football and you can't just in one game and score to learn from Muncie and into future tournaments are some sure the whole 54 I said Jane Lewis reporting there now you may have seen the photographs of the barn tote wreck of a brand new 200000 pound Ferrari its owners had only taken possession of it an hour earlier before the car created off the am one and so if Yorkshire. Center flames Well thankfully the driver wants a way with just minor cuts and bruises and perhaps injured pride but it's not the 1st time an author of a brand new super car has come a cropper once you know from Perry McCarthy the racing driver who portrayed the state and the 1st 2 series of he was he's Top Gear programme Well Perry this driver really had a lucky escape didn't he. That was an escape route I mean this guy for the Rio and certainly into it for. In one hour not bad going do a lot of people who buy these high performance cars just not appreciate their parrot you think it depends on the car they've had before because I mean if you said a fairly normal car and in ramps into a Ferrari then it's going to be really live in maybe catching by surprise as it would do anybody else but if you said performance comes before it's more of a gradual thing Ferrari's but it's very nature are supposed to be lively animals but they deserve respect So you think off the most powerful cars then that there's more than 10 say whereby a small mistake can lead to quite catastrophic consequences but I would say the same about any cars in any conditions because most cars are fairly quick and if you're in a road conditions you know even stock standard road cars can do 11120 miles an hour and if you want to do that in difficult conditions you're in everybody's life at risk including your own so you don't think perhaps dealers manufacturers need to give particular advice to people who are buying these cars for the 1st time. The problem is the oak where if you draw the line because so many cars now are becoming increasingly quit years ago they used to be a white divide between the performance of Ferrari to a normal car but you get a messiah east out east being wus the getting fantastic performance now so they're not a long way short of what a Ferrari can do so where do you draw the line where you say extra training bigger insurance watch out you know of course cars are much safer than they ever used to be to Saigon a certain sense of and civility. Well it's looking at the cases that we saw off that that was I mean that is the biggest wreck ever seen somebody getting out virtually on the harm so you know I don't think we should count on cars being just safe but of course they are much safer. But people have just got to use their common sense says mentally as soon as you're behind a car then you're a passenger you've got to be mentally ahead so that means whatever speed you're doing you've got to be in control knowing what's coming out of a margin for error Ok pay my car thanks so much indeed for that. 929-5818 medium wave and on digital radio b.b.c.

Radio Scotland travel to Scotland's weather the last of any showers across eastern and southern Scotland will die away as we head through the evening to leave a largely dry night with some good spells of sunshine developing showers will continue to feed in across the northwest on the Western Isles on the fresh south westerly wind it will remain breezy and showed here tonight with the rest of the country dry some clear spells temperatures of around 11 or 12 Celsius listening to b.b.c. Radio Scotland at 8 minutes past 5 no present draw makes the headlines most days of the week but this afternoon he's making the headlines here in Scotland so the Scottish Environment Protection Agency has tabled a formal objection to the Trump organizations proposals for a new goal of course in Aberdeen sure is being claimed the 18 hole links could breach sewage and pollution rules well Rebecca Coren joins us now in Rebecca plans for the 2nd course of the many years stay they've been the pipeline for a while haven't they remind us of the backgrounds of those well indeed Donald Trump initially promised to golf courses a 5 star hotel and hundreds of houses at the Trump International Development at the many estates now Aberdeenshire Now that was many years ago before anyone had mentioned the word president now of course he still owns the business but has handed over operational control of the many estate and his other resorts to his children but back in 2013 an application for a 2nd course was submitted then very quickly withdrawn after the Trump Organization lost a Court of Session. To stop an offshore wind farm being developed close to the many est course 9 plans were submitted again in September 2015 so it has been a long road and many people in the northeast don't think that a 2nd course will ever happen but if it is given the go ahead the 18 hole links would be named after me MacLeod and Donald Trump's Scottish mother the support of the details of these objections Well the Scottish Environment Protection Agency or Sipa has submitted a letter to planning officials at Aberdeenshire kind still and in its submission it details concerns over waste water drainage associated with the planning application it's also raised concerns about proposals to plants no native plants near whole number 5 of the Course as well as a failure to supply an up to date environmental management plan no fair their concerns have been raised by Scottish Natural Heritage and they didn't say as unhappy with the location of the 18 hole course within the substantial June system that very system which 1st caught president trumps I They say there is a substantial risk parts of the course would be damaged by drifting Junes and that the plans risk breaching national planning policy and the National Marine plum So what is the Trump Organization saying about this well they say this is a normal part of the planning process and nothing out of the origin and they say that application is making its way through the system and dialogue between agencies like c.p. And s n e h will continue until it goes before committee for consideration and they go on to say the 2nd course does not occupy a site of special scientific interest therefore it's not covered by any environmental designations and finally they say they are extremely confident in their proposal so where does the leave them Rebecca while the Trump Organization will now have the opportunity to revise their plans to comply with Scottish Natural Heritage is demands. Point type any planning application of this science must be open to consultation so Aberdeenshire came so was obliged to reach out to both Scottish Natural Heritage and other agencies to see what they make of the plans and they will now be discussed at a committee meeting on the 22nd of August and at that meeting councillors could do a number of things they could approve the proposals entirely they could reject them entirely or refer them on to fool Council to be discussed at a later date but these particular objections they could increase the chances that the proposed course would be rejected by the council or sent to a public planning inquiry Ok Rebecka car in Aberdeen there the chancellor Philip Hammond has revealed that most members of the cabinet agree that there needs to be a lengthy transitional arrangements after brags that Mr Hammond said there must be business as usual life as normal for Britain's as the u.k. Exits the e.u. I can envisage a situation where we start immediately after our exit from the European Union with many arrangements remaining very similar to how they were the day before we exited the European Union but over time those arrangements moving steadily with the introduction of new processes and systems until we get to the new end state the new normal that will be our long term relationship with the European Union but he added the transition period must have a definite end point people have talked about a year 2 years maybe 3 years there's a broad consensus that this has to this process has to be completed by the time the shuttle time of the next general election which is in June 2022 so a period of at the most 3 years in order to put these these new arrangements in place let's speak to Henry Hill who's assistant editor conservative hold more Henry was only a few weeks ago we were hearing reports of cabinet ministers Ope I think he got off . In just a 2nd listening to news Dr b.b.c. Radio Scotland writes a is good here yes so if you're looking to spend a little time outdoors this weekends and want to help signs and conservation into the bargain than a wildlife charity is urging you to head to the coast for a spot of whale and dolphin watching is the start of the annual Sea Watch week which sees members of the public around the country helping to build a picture of the marine mammals which live in the waters off our shores our reporter Craig Anderson has been doing some dolphin spotting of his own. I've come to China reporting to the black hole north of Inverness arguably the best vantage point for sea bottlenose dolphins in the wild in the whole of Europe and today they didn't disappoint. You know it wasn't a load see what many more people will head for Scotland's headlines and beaches and record just what they see over the next week the annual event helps conservationists mark the distribution of whales dolphins and purposes and track changes from year to year Steve true luck is a volunteer with the Sea Watch Foundation. Basically engage as many people many members of the public as possible to help. Spot as many whales dolphins porpoises as they can from anywhere on the coastline and then that information and gets put in to see what foundations database and that database can then be used to basically help conserve and protect the whales and dolphins that we see around our coastline for example yesterday in the Mary. There were 50 plus pilot whales saying . With currently go up in Shetland we found all sorts of species last year there were 14 different species seen during national while and Dolphin Watch experts say $27000.00 is shaping up as a bumper year for sightings. There have been killer whales spotted in Shetland almost within the harbor in Lerwick The Been Dolphins spotted up the east and west coast humpback whales off the Hebrides even evidence of extremely rare blue whales off the northern and western isles these people on the block today were delighted to see so many dolphins in their natural habitat just beautiful Yeah I'm We've been given lots of different places but this is comparatively close to hey you can have the best view of them all was the same signal in an aquarium I mean you're seeing it seeing them in their natural habitat you're seeing how they behave in the wild an aquarium It's all very artificial and creatures like this I mean intelligent creatures you should be looking them up anyway you should think you should be letting them run free so this is the only way to see the public magical is to see them in the wild and then on your doorstep I'm local So for me it's great I just think that actually was working in this I have to leave the computer and pop there to see the dolphins it's magical and even if you don't spot any wills or dolphins that information in itself is very useful for the scientists Steve to look from see watch again the idea is to get a snapshot around the whole of the if someone's not saying something from somewhere but also helps the scientists house or researchers know that actually at this time of year there is nothing there where is obviously another site someone saying something we want as many people as possible to just get involved you can. You can go to some of the organized events there are all available you can see on see which foundations Web site there's 9 days so plenty of time and you can do little or as much as possible and if the whales and dolphins fail to make an appearance Well the worst you can see is that you had a relaxed couple of hours down at the beach cricket Anderson there reporting on the whales.

Oh I don't think I don't think they're probably united at the moment because obviously you've got all the uncertainty about leadership and genuine profound differences of opinion of our accident should look like but I think it's an important step because it represents the fact that the. Skeptics the facts to. Reassure around the idea that we can have a transitional arrangement with out of the coming time and the problem we've previously had about traditional transit. An arrangement which makes a lot of sense it allows you for sort of a smooth exit from the European Union is there are concerns amongst people who want to leave the European Union the things that are meant to be transitional will end up lasting forever and it will be sources of stuff soft back to buy stuff but clearly it looks as if back to 2 ministers have been won round the idea that we can have a transition which is genuinely transitional illness's this time limit on it that's all that's in the deal is being done then do you think I think that's I think I think the idea is a clearly defined transitional police officers in all sorts of indefinitely if not all will have this in place and so we wrote everything out how long that takes it's right we're going to have a period the last x. Longer than the box negotiating is 3 years. X. Is longer no longer than it will give and I've seen it being sold today as you know giving Liam Fox the opportunity to actually build up some of those trade deals so he has them ready for signature because obviously a problem for the Department for International Trade is it can factually negotiate trade deals and so we left so currently if we leave everything in 2019 we would have teed up anything to replace it whereas this will give Liam Fox the opportunity to not only secure those deals but by selling it in those terms it's also reassuring very cities that yes we are going to leave the Customs Union we will be able to negotiate our entry deals afterwards of course we haven't gone on this no deal yet in the e.u. Is saying that it's too soon to discuss what you have only it was if this is all Bush's side uses then have the entire dimension which is a 5 this is a negotiation with another party hopefully the government's going to spawn now that it's sort of agreed this the government start going to be more effective in the negotiations I think that London is a real problem because the ministers and given the government has been so divided about the correct approach where as you know there's relative unanimity on the on the European side of the table but what they're looking for so. I think is an important moment for the British negotiation because it means we might actually be able to start strategically planning out what we went from Bracks and engage with the Europeans on equal terms and. Toleration at least so does this mean that there is a maze no deal is better than a bad deal is dead in the water net. I think even in even the chancellor of years of having one of the champions of. The the year file remain accountant in the in the cabinet but you can all used to do it all range Ment's which the terms which you could offer which would be worse than w t o terms you know these kind of punitive The idea that the would offer a punitive deal which tries to set an exam make an example of Britain in order to discourage other member states from trying to leave now hopefully and I think hopefully we have a constructive negotiation we'll get a deal which is better than none that shouldn't be too difficult to be honest but I do think that it was always important to stress that we wouldn't take anything that the European Union put on the table because that any and any negotiator will tell you if you say from the beginning that you'll take whatever you're offered you will be offered very little and so it was always important to keep that option open of the Henry Hill it's an editor at Conservative Home thanks so much indeed now remote Orkney Island primary school is losing its only pupil who's moving on to high school raising fears about the island's long term future North Ronald say a primary school single classroom will be kept on standby from August as taken Skalds whose 12 moves to secondary income Call know the island only has a population of about 50 people well our reporter James Shaw has been talking to taken about how big move funniest home she's getting ready for the end of the Somalis I'll be moving in a 2nd go getting all my skills that ready packed right.

Yes Does that make it hard to have to make this big move to the mainland not really because they know I'll see them again the weekend and what kind of subjects because I don't see that's going to change quite a lot is that you've had your own teacher who looks after you what kind of subjects and what sort of things about the grammar school are you looking forward to and surprisingly I mean looking forward to the mask of this guy and I guess that are set the p.-n. That the science is also going to get because you get proper science but do you worry about the fact that your school is closing Well it doesn't keep me up at night and knowing that your share be like something to them things good will happen to it eventually if you just just kind of describe the school day you know how you arrive and then what kind of lessons you have and tell me about your teacher and that sort of thing well I walk to school because we are high so our hopes behind this go so we just walk to school myself and then we do like Act time and they would do the math and then they basically the Normal School soft both just one child and do you think you will miss that when you go to the mainland really I mean it was good to have that at that time to get my Like levels up higher but I think it'll be a bigger step for me I guess it will be a mixture of feelings kind of like a bit of sadness and tell me I'm wrong I mean it you little bit sad but a little bit excited as well just describe that to me if you can I'm excited. To go obviously I hope to take the biggest bill but them not not much sadness like a tiny little drop of sadness because still the closing of my own rightful part do you really worry that it could be as bad as that not really even close to the still just like a part of the island that is like it's always going to be there and they might change into like an adult learning facility sometimes so they can still use it in different ways yeah taken Scott their 12 years old has moved on from North Francais primary school and Orkney and that means the school is going to close down if the time being until they can find some more people's lives 25 minutes after Fife left with a sport I would John Barnes will sell to Camp been fined 23000 euros by us for 2 offenses during the recent Champions League qualifier at home to Linfield The 1st was for fans displaying an illicit ban on the other for blocking off stairways in the stadium as the 11th time in 6 years the club have been fined by the union for both already for the misbehavior of supporters Meanwhile the Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers says Scottish football isn't competitive enough to justify signing a 3rd striker 1st choice forwards missing him belly and Lee Gryphus are both injured have a rod just says he may have to revise a decision and these view if either player is out injured longer term with all due respect to the Scottish football of 3 top strikers what we're.

News drive on b.b.c. Reduce Scotland I'm sure this afternoon to the United States and the latest colorful car character to join Donald Trump's administration and the new White House communications director now this was him speaking on the b.b.c. On Thursday and his 1st u.k. Interview Ok so you're from Great Britain but I'm not from Great Britain Ok I'm I'm from a town that's right on the border of Queens and the president grew up in Queens Ok so we have a little bit of a different communication style it's a little bit more direct it's probably a less subtle and polite but you don't think the politicians in in your home town are hitting each other left and right and they may be hitting each other in a more subtle way I sort of like the more open approach you know one of the things I cannot stand about this town is the backstabbing that goes on here Ok where I grew up in the neighborhood I'm from where front stairs would like to tell you exactly where we're from and what we're doing well but very different communication style has certainly been on display in recent hours after he launched our file most attack against his senior White House colleagues he described the chief of staff Priebus as a paranoid schizophrenic in a phone conversation with a reporter from The New Yorker magazine he also attacked the white host strategist Steve Bannon Now all this comes after the u.s. Senate last night rejected plans to repeal health care reforms and acted under Barack Obama delivering a major blow to the president well Paul Glastris who's editor in chief of The Washington Monthly gave me his thoughts. As a hedge. Fund marketing fellow who is a Harvard law grad and a presence on television defending from over recent months and somebody who performed in that sort of surrogate all so well that Donald Trump decided to put him in charge of his entire press operation and why the 5 that he thinks the chief of staff is responsible for a lot of these leaks Well you know we don't know how much the chief of staff is or is not responsible for a lot of the leak these leaks but we do know that the leak that he accused the chief of staff of was not leaked from the cheapest staff it was a. Document that was publicly available to anyone who wanted to look for it so right off the bat he accused the staff of something that wasn't true what kind of faith do you think that will have well you know it surely would be an unpleasant place to go into work every day the current White House you know the other the odd thing about this White House I suppose it's true of others less so of the one I was in but that instead of sort of walking up to the person that you disagree with and telling that person to his or her face say you know I think you're doing a terrible job you go talk to a reporter and bad mouth that person to the reporter and you know but in this he's clearly reflecting the wishes and style of President Trump who apparently is also deeply unhappy with his chief of staff but doesn't have the character or straightforwardness to fire him self Apparently it's all you can conclude do you think this is just a reflection of a style of doing business or do you think that it's a definite distraction strategy to take people's minds over. Shortcomings and administrator I don't know if it's a distraction strategy. If it is it's not really working it's not as if the country isn't aware that the. President just lost you know a huge battle over health care it certainly hasn't stopped the Republicans from handing him in with a veto proof vote increasing Russian sanctions so that but the thing to remember with Republicans in general and Donald Trump in particular is that the people he is trying to distract aren't the American people as a whole the world community the people that he's trying to distract the people he's trying to give something to something to hold on to are his supporters are the 70 percent of Republican voters who still approve of his job and. Many of them are eager to believe the worst of others and the best of Trump so so if he says. You know leaks are the biggest reason I'm not succeeding therefore I've hired Anthony scary movie to crush the leakers his supporters will say you know yes that's what's happening in now I know I have a reason to get through the day to feel good about my president now you mention the votes in the Senate rejecting those plans to repeal the health care reforms which does not leave president well depending on if the Republicans try to revive the effort and there's talk of it but it's sort of very hard to imagine it reviving it is Example number 38 of high priority. Agenda items that have gone nowhere. So. So. It's just another failure to move the ball on policy in legislation. And again. The president will is putting out tweets blaming $48.00 Democrats and 3 Republicans for failing to make the health care bill happen . And but you know at some point these failures of achievement begin to pile up those poll Glastris there who's editor in chief of The Washington Monthly. Now the ribbons being cut on a new extension to the house Tweed mill on the Isle of Lewis and you dying plants and blending facility have been created on the site to help improve the production process company bosses say it shows I confident they are about the future as a far cry from a decade ago when the show Boston mill was closed and derelict I'm joined now by a Harris Tweed Hebrides chairman Brian Wilson who's in our store know a studio so it was a royal occasion today at the mill a believe it was a very royal occasion we had the Princess Royal who is the president of the u.k. Fashion and text it was Association and takes a real genuine keen interest in the industry and she came along to do the business to to limo and she did a great job and she she spoke to many of our employees many of our guests and it was just a very positive occasion for. Hebrides and for the waiter community and why is this new dying plant and blending facility being built is it because of an increase in orders or you're just looking at improving the production process Well it's mainly the production process we took over as you see a mill 10 years ago and some of the equipment and it was was very old and stage by stage we've been we been changing that but this is the biggest single investment and probably the house was the you're the most antiquated part of the process and it will create a much more efficient a bit of plant but it will also create a better environment for the people who walk in it because all of the machinery there are just because it's more open and spacious it's more open and spacious and the equipment machinery which we've we've brought in from Italy a state of the art and it will be you know you know we reworked it's a very very complex very high quality process but everything can be improved on and and this investment will certainly finessed the product still for when you look at the business generally want you to. The secret is being behind the toner and in recent years well I think it's difficult for a business that sitting on literally on the edge of Europe but which relies on maybe 70 percent for exports just to maintain markets to have good agents working in the field to just keep the momentum going and maybe a Over the years over the decades that you know that have become more and more of a challenge there's also been a huge transition because traditionally the the biggest market for hottest Tweed was was North America and then in the in the eighty's really that went off a cliff because for of the of reasons but mainly because later fabrics came in so to comply continually establish new markets and so on to grow marketing and I think what we've been very successful at doing is getting away from a traditional image of how does to lead and making it very much a fabric of fashion a not just men's fashion women's fashion accessories interiors. All sorts of extremely smart products from from how it is to eat and I think that his contribution to the industry has really to be Been to change that dynamic and you talk about maintaining markets obviously no business wants to remain still what next for the companies are you looking at new opportunities no other countries that want to hold the BRICs that process may affect either positively or negatively Well it hasn't so far and I mean you know I want to put it to remain the company was in favor of remaining but to be honest you know it would be it would just be untrue to say that has been some great you know catastrophe befall in this because of it and hopefully that will continue if anything there's a marginal gain because at this stage because of the the the exchange rate but the biggest market in recent years has been has been Japan followed by a huge increase over the past few years in the domestic u.k. Market recently we've we've been doing some stuff and Russia has some stuff in Spain but we're also working quite. Closely with a very old and highly respected Italian textile house more sought or to help us not just on the technical side but also on the marketing side to and improve our global reach because a big company can get into the nukes and crannies of international markets which it is very very difficult to do sitting in your beast not sitting certainly not sitting and shoulders but Beast and shoppers and very briefly would you concede that when you're looking to markets like Japan and possibly breaks it will Lois to to form a new and perhaps improved trade deal with some of these countries Well I'm not strict I mean that's what should i would still be alone when the when these trade deals materialize my own view and breaks it is that maybe it's all and somewhat reinforced by today's news is that maybe it will end up not all that different from where we are just know that would as long as that are nor a new body years go up that's the main thing is that it will it just takes of trade demand bringing Battier stone rather than putting them up and at how to treat a British we just want to see barriers all around the world coming coming don't it and more people buying houses through it Ok Brian Nelson thank you for that Chairman of Harris Tweed Hebrides.

Radio Scotland travel and this is news rife with Graham's church now young people who've never previously smoked a cigarette are more likely to experiment with them if they've already tried an Isa or it was according to a survey carried out by Starling university it find that 40 percent of those who tried vaporing went on to smoke tobacco Cameron bottle has this report so very basically who have your battery you know you have your tank or all the liquid goes into and then you have your coil and your heating element basically well that's going to act like a like a coil from a kettle. But it's of a liquid around it and that's what actually produces the vapor for the device in the vaporized store in a shopping center in Edinburgh with a display of East cigarettes is quite does aling They range in price from 10 pounds to 80 pounds in other shops you can pay hundreds of pounds if cigarettes and vaporizing is big business and it's getting bigger different powers different capacities different sizes different airflow different desire for more of a far less space or it's illegal to sell cigarettes to anyone under the age of 18 a report led by Stirling University says young people who do use them could be more likely to go on to smoke tobacco in 2015 pupils were surveyed in 4 Scottish. Secondary schools a year later of those who had never smoked or used an Isa Garrette 10 percent had tried to back up however among those who had used an Isa Garrette 40 percent had tried to back Sally Hoare is professor of public and Population Health what we find concerning is that the young people who seem to be most influenced by the use of the cigarettes before cigarettes are those young people who said in 2015 that they definitely wouldn't smoke and also they had no friends who smoked and these traditionally are the young people who are thought to be least susceptible to subtle sprinkle one industry body dismissed the research saying it did not show anything new and the link between vaporing and smoking is not surprising so what we have here is. A wall of flavor samples. There's a massive for a to the going from tobaccos into fruits and to men falls. For the customers to choose from and find really what suits them this is Doug Muta is a director with the big priced chain the U.K.'s biggest with more than 1000 stores do you think that beeping by young people who have never tried to buckle could lead them on to smoking tobacco I don't think it could nor. People if you for going to try smoking the light Let's try keeping products as well for the next scene and I don't see it in people who would never smoke trying to even products it's not in any evidence to substantiate that and company policy view is not to sell to people who have never smoked if they are not on small car we advise they do not just a product and start paying and we would not sell to them. At the lot of people suspect or what you're trying to do is get people off tobacco and on to be paying for life. I think. Vision products are there to serve that purpose to serve that it just harm an opportunity for common adult smokers to make the switch to be paying. By that they get the nicotine with all the cancer causing it and traditional cigarettes is the idea to then get them hooked on vapor it's not the Johnny then when someone's made to stretch the Johnnies up to the individual user the strains of nicotine within the liquid reduced all the way it is you know milligrams of nicotine source someone wishes to become. Fully off of nicotine they can meet Johnny through the report was also concerned that beeping was potentially making smoking more socially acceptable a view reflected on the streets of Glasgow today when you walk in and if you can smell them too likely that smells quite nice they will taste nice that you can understand why people would use it almost like as a gateway into smoking for younger people especially using easy arrest that wouldn't normally smoked but because you can do inside and pubs by using more things I think maybe the educate but I think people see it as a healthier option because the other carcinogens and things is easy carets but I think there's still this new research really into it they still don't really know what the having the research just said it wasn't clear how many of those who did try an Isa direct and then tried to back all then went on to become regular smokers Cameron bottle reporting is emerged that the West Coast ferry operator Kalma is carrying the same life jackets on their vessels as the type worn by the crew on Elisa was a fishing boat of course sank off the Western Isles last year the points aides were heavily implicated in an investigation by the marine accident investigation branch saying that they didn't work as they should and they called for an urgent review Well I'm joined by reporter and Stornoway Mari McLeod So Mari what is the exact issue with these life charges Well the report was published yesterday on. Which sank in Mangalore last year focuses to a large extent really on the life jackets the crew used and the marine accident investigator. Asian branch concluded that they were at least partly at fault in the that owning of 3 of the crew who had phoned fish in the water by the bottle lifeboat no according to the Accident Investigation investigator so this shouldn't have happened if the life jackets had been walking effectively they are designed to keep the individual on their back at all times and the airways clear of the water no as a result of these findings the Emmy id called an amount of time Coast Guard agency to instigate an urgent review they particularly suggested focus should fall on the testing procedures as life jackets are tested in swimming pools in artificial conditions and well that's a world away from what you can expect in a name urgency at sea even in relatively cam conditions. The life jackets used in the case of the cool sold out of the Course old premier type and they have Coleman through it to them out of time industry and today I got confirmation from Cal Mach that this is the type they use on the vessels throughout the network so what happens now well Kalmuck told me that they themselves had killed fully considered the findings of the m.e. The report in particular in relation to what it sees on life jackets name the I know I've been in contact with the m.c.a. To seek further guidance and whatever the come back with in terms of whatever the m.c.a. Come back with in terms of recommendations Col Mark will implement in Fool the e.c. No I also contacted the m.c.a. Given the concerns over passenger ferries as well and they said they were already investigating the testing regime of these life jackets to see what amendments are necessary particularly drawing on the Emmy ibs concerns over whether a swimming pool can really replicate the conditions at sea they did state however that a life jacket remains the principal life saving device for improving chances. Sort of rival in an emergency also potentially worrying time for people looking to travel to the islands Well indeed it's not just calm market this involves As I said these kind of life jackets are common throughout the industry and indeed are used by other companies start to run passenger ferries. We should see as well that at least at this stage in the life jackets are fully approved and certified by the m.c.a. Know the m.c.a.

Longer than that they were very deliberately released in the ninety's and mainly that quite often we put in it so I suppose they have to sense for months Jack they were certainly deliberately released into the woods there and spread from there.

Radio Scotland's more than 80 British tower blocks of failed fire safety tests carried out following the grand fell tragedy the clotting system on the structures do not meet the appropriate standards now if it was the announcement from the u.k. Government that an end dependent review into building regulations and fire safety will be held Professor Edwards Bowditch is a professor of risk and management crisis at the University of the West of Scotland Well this is disturbing I don't think there's anyone in this country who hasn't seen the appalling tragedy in grown fell and if you were living in a block that had the same clan doing which was fitted in the same way with the same properties I think you'd be quite rightly concerned I mean how concerned will people be mean from a psychological viewpoint what must be like for people living in those flats at the moments after I think it could be actually quite terrifying because knowing that you're living in a building particularly if you're living in on the upper floors of that building could burn quite furiously and that you could be trapped above the 6th or 7th floor where the ladders of the fire engine don't go I think that's quite scary and particularly because you have such a concentration and sometimes such a large number of people in the term log whereas if you were in. A detached house the chances of having a house fire are fairly slim but things her a block only takes one person out of many for the problem and I mean this this is this is true I mean fire is a never present danger wherever we live and should never be ignored However if you're on the upper levels of a tower block you're in a different kind of position in terms of being rescued during a fire than if you're living on a 2 or 3 bedroom house in a normal estate or a low rise block of flats that doesn't go above the 6th floor one can't take away from the emotional impact of what we've all seen Graham felt our. That was a horrific tragedy that the powerlessness of the emergency services who tried so valiantly to rescue people from that terrible scenario and we're just unable to do anything that you know that those fire personnel who responded to that event I mean they will be haunted for the rest of their lives by you know the images of the children and the people standing in the windows on the top floors now that must be going through the minds of people who live in buildings like this certainly I think as a role for government here I mean I've seen quite a lot of debate about who will pay for it and how will this be done and is it responsibility of the local authority is it the responsibility of the government is it the responsibility of the the builders that fitted this stuff I think in the 1st instance I think people need to be moved from these buildings and I think they ought to be given somewhere else to live while the buildings are made safe and I think that planning should be removed without delay having said that there certainly needs to be a debate about who pays for it that debate can take place later is interesting what you say about perceptions of risk obviously if you're living in a turbo log there will be a natural inclination to offer estimates risk because of course you know you could die as a result of it but the other hand people who are in charge of buildings is a tendency for them to underestimate risk. I think there's a tendency when something hasn't happened to see that risk in a lower light than when something has happened since Grunfeld tower as happens we are now the acutely aware of that risk that people who live in buildings like that will not be able to dispel from their minds the fact that they're living in a building that potentially could be a good now the ground fell tower I sincerely hope this won't be the case and the all these buildings will get required very quickly I think there are also issues about cost and safety and we see this debate it keeps recurring again and again how much do we need to pay for safety there was a cost issue I mean there this stuff that's been pretty was much much cheaper than the original plan Rockwall with the zinc coating we now have instead this plastic with an alum minium coating we know that the alum minium Burns we know the plastic and the alimony I'm also gives off some pretty obnoxious fumes and the question of who sits on these panels the standards it's quite right that people who are representatives from the industry should be on these panels we see representatives from the big supermarkets on food safety stand panels and it's right that they should be there but one cannot forget that they also have a vested interest in producing standards that are user friendly to their industry from an economic point of view. I can't say whether this has happened on this particular occasion but clearly that possibility is there that raises some questions which I think ought to be dealt with. And maybe that's the role of a public inquiry maybe it's the role of a different kind of inquiry but in the 1st instance I think we have a moral and legal duty to the people who live in those buildings to re house them while their buildings are made safe Professor Edward Boroditsky who is professor of risk and management crisis at the University of the West of Scotland Venezuela is banning protests that could start. Bar affect Sunday's controversial election for a new constituent assembly more than a 100 people have been killed in protests related violence since April the opposition sees it as a move towards dictatorship the United States has ordered family members living at the embassy in Caracas to evacuate the country and authorized it staff members to leave if they want well I've been speaking to a tutor Wallace from b.b.c. Mundo the service for Latin America to a large extent it is about election that will take place on Sunday to elect a new constituent assembly that is a constitution that will be charged to write and new constitution a lot of people from the position feel that the whole idea behind it is for a person and Nicolas mother would go to solidify his scrape on power they have accused him of trying to establish a dictatorship there is also a lot of criticism about the myth of the logy he has chosen to conduct this election because for for 1st time in the Venezuelan history it won't be it won't be one person one vote 2 to elected members of the assembly but there are also critics from inside the former supporters or presidents I was with think a draft right in the Constitution a Constitution that Wes 1st written by former President Chavez is a betrayal to his memory but of course the problem is much more complex than that I mean it has a lot to do with a long standing political and economic crisis in Venezuela the country has been is suffering from short to just of the most basic staples food medicines and there is also our deep deep recession and a profound mistrust between the opposition and the government and what will happen to anyone who ignores this ban on protesting. Well the government has said that they can be jailed for up to 10 years and of course we import on the list up to 2 to add to remembered that during the last 4 months approaches that have been taken place almost daily Minnesota have a real left more done 100 dead I mean 113 a West today's count so there is so simple civility of clashes between the blisters on the security forces or with supporters of the government a and so the possibility of more people being injured or even dying East's quite a high one was the u.s. Reaction to all of this being well the United States House actually become more and more vocal in the last few days you know a they they of course don't saying desalination should go ahead they may force sanctions fresh sanctions some 13 new members also define a swollen government to try to put more pressure on them a and recently they also a. Release Also there is stuff there is stuff I did American embassy in Cairo I guess to leave the country. Of course given us all and government has always said for a long long time but all the turmoil in Venezuela that brought this on everything in our part of our lot in which the United States is very active to try to oust a socialist government they don't like the B.B.C.'s are to the wall it's a 47 year old man who stalked his former girlfriend has been jailed for 10 years for manslaughter after she killed herself in once thought to be the 1st case of its kind prosecutors said Justin Rhys from Stafford committed suicide as a direct result of the actions of Nicholas Allen who had a history of domestic violence the B.B.C.'s Danny Shaw has more it's a tragic case and it goes back to the summer of 2015 when Nicholas Allen and Justin Reese began having a relationship but within months of that relationship lasting Reese found that Allen was a controlling individual who sometimes wouldn't let her leave their house he used to follow her on social media sites sent a text messages she eventually left him went to stay in a refuge in another part of the country he still try to follow trace contact her when she returned to Stafford where they lived here again got back in touch with her and this went on to such an extent that she became really ill she became depressed. Basically sort of stayed at home and her condition deteriorated and in February she was found hanged in her home and left a note saying that she couldn't fight the she had run out of fight as a result Nicholas Allen was prosecuted for manslaughter so the case was that his actions had directly caused her to take her own life he pleaded guilty to that offense and today he's been sentenced to 10 years in prison 620 You're listening to b.b.c.
