:00:38. > :00:40.We are sent from hospital to hospital, to shelters.

:00:41. > :00:42.Why is there not a community house for family

:00:43. > :00:47.Why do we have to go out there and actively look for them?

:00:48. > :00:49.Theresa May is jeered as she visits displaced residents and promises

:00:50. > :01:00.Government is making money available.

:01:01. > :01:03.We are ensuring we get to the bottom of what happened,

:01:04. > :01:06.we will ensure people are rehoused, but we need to make sure

:01:07. > :01:10.The Queen and Prince William visit one of the relief centres to talk

:01:11. > :01:15.And new footage of the moments after the fire broke out

:01:16. > :01:55.Angry protests are being held in London as residents demand

:01:56. > :01:57.support for those affected by the Grenfell Tower fire.

:01:58. > :02:00.People have stormed Kensington and Chelsea Town Hall and marched

:02:01. > :02:04.Earlier Theresa May made her first visit to the area to meet survivors

:02:05. > :02:07.and she announced a ?5 million emergency fund to help the victims.

:02:08. > :02:09.Police say at least 30 people are now confirmed

:02:10. > :02:14.The BBC understands the total number of people who are dead or missing

:02:15. > :02:18.Our first report tonight on the latest on the tower block

:02:19. > :02:24.fire is from our correspondent Jeremy Cooke.

:02:25. > :02:41.This is what happens when grief turned to anger. The target is

:02:42. > :02:46.Kensington Town Hall, the offices of the Council that owns Grenfell

:02:47. > :02:52.Tower. They are demanding answers. We need to be heard! We need to be

:02:53. > :02:59.heard! We all have things to say. We are in pain. I understand that the

:03:00. > :03:06.response we got from the council is not satisfactory. They want to hear

:03:07. > :03:14.from the local authority officials whom they hold responsible.

:03:15. > :03:16.How could this tragedy have happened on this scale

:03:17. > :03:22.We are sent from hospital to hospital, to shelters.

:03:23. > :03:24.Why is there not a community house for family members?

:03:25. > :03:27.Why do we have to go out there and look

:03:28. > :03:33.actively for them, and then be told misled information?

:03:34. > :03:40.They make us call family members, and every someone else telling us,

:03:41. > :03:44.no, that is not made by themselves, but by someone on their behalf. It

:03:45. > :03:45.is the modern world. Why is it carried out like this? It doesn't

:03:46. > :03:49.make sense. It is an overwhelming

:03:50. > :03:57.community tragedy with an If we get all the

:03:58. > :04:01.missing people on the A continuing grassroots

:04:02. > :04:06.mobilisation, doing all You guys did a brilliant job

:04:07. > :04:22.in unprecedented circumstances. But the Queen and Prince

:04:23. > :04:24.William left in no doubt of the agony

:04:25. > :04:26.and the grief here. William, Harry, come on

:04:27. > :04:47.here, please. Could you tell us who they are?

:04:48. > :04:52.Family, friends. It is my family's friends. All of them that died in

:04:53. > :04:58.their are my families and friends and children. When the Queen turned

:04:59. > :05:03.up, everyone came. Go to the media, show the Queen you are nice. Sorry

:05:04. > :05:06.to the police man and the fire man, but you are not doing the right job.

:05:07. > :05:09.The rescue crews are still making their way through the

:05:10. > :05:11.It's hard to imagine a more challenging task.

:05:12. > :05:14.Dangerous and slow work, it is why the official

:05:15. > :05:16.death toll remains so much lower than what the people here expect,

:05:17. > :05:22.The building itself is in a very hazardous state.

:05:23. > :05:24.It is going to take a period of time for

:05:25. > :05:27.our specialists, both from the police and the London Fire Brigade,

:05:28. > :05:32.to fully search that building to make sure we locate and recover

:05:33. > :05:34.everybody that has sadly perished in that fire.

:05:35. > :05:44.We will be doing that as swiftly as we can.

:05:45. > :05:51.I completely understand the need for those who have lost loved ones, that

:05:52. > :06:07.as quick as we can, we are able to announce that.

:06:08. > :06:14.There are people here looking for their family and their friends.

:06:15. > :06:18.There is no one here to organise anything at all. I have friends who

:06:19. > :06:24.died in there, but no one is telling us. Do you know what I am saying?

:06:25. > :06:29.What do you think it is? They are not bringing out the truth. They

:06:30. > :06:35.need to talk the truth and get real. Theresa May doesn't come to see none

:06:36. > :06:36.of us. In the Manchester thing, she was all about the place. You know,

:06:37. > :06:40.no truth. The investigations

:06:41. > :06:42.and the inquests, the enquiries, will take months,

:06:43. > :06:43.perhaps years, to complete, but the people here believe

:06:44. > :06:46.they already have a fundamental understanding of this

:06:47. > :06:48.tragedy, that the fire swept through the building at breathtaking pace,

:06:49. > :07:05.and that so many people from this Where are the children? The general

:07:06. > :07:13.belief here tonight, the hardest of truths, is that the dozens missing

:07:14. > :07:19.are among the dead. Three days later, the fire is out, London

:07:20. > :07:23.rumbles on, and Grenfell Tower, 127 homes, stands monument to the lives,

:07:24. > :07:26.to the families who had been lost. Jeremy Cooke, BBC News, North

:07:27. > :07:30.Kensington. Politicians from all parties,

:07:31. > :07:32.the Prime Minister in particular, are facing a barrage of criticism

:07:33. > :07:35.from local people over how they've Many feel their voices have

:07:36. > :07:39.been ignored for years. Today, the Local Government

:07:40. > :07:42.Secretary Sajid Javid promised that whatever recommendations are made

:07:43. > :07:44.by safety experts, including rehousing people living

:07:45. > :07:45.in other tower blocks, Our deputy political editor

:07:46. > :07:49.John Pienaar reports on the political questions that need

:07:50. > :08:07.to be answered. All but hidden from view, the crowd

:08:08. > :08:10.of police protection told you this was Theresa May. She had been

:08:11. > :08:14.meeting people from the neighbourhood, meeting volunteers

:08:15. > :08:18.inside this local church. As she was ushered into her car afterwards,

:08:19. > :08:25.rage boiled over in the street outside as she left. The Government

:08:26. > :08:31.failed. Her coming over here, trying to speak to... To whom? Who do you

:08:32. > :08:39.want to speak to? You had your chance. Everyone is angry. It is a

:08:40. > :08:43.PR stunt and it is a shame it has come to this. More residents would

:08:44. > :08:50.have come if she knew she was there to protest. It is very cold not to

:08:51. > :08:53.meet with any victims. Early today, unlike yesterday, the Prime Minister

:08:54. > :09:02.met casualties, people touched by the disaster. Yesterday, she only

:09:03. > :09:06.met members of the emergency services, which went down badly in

:09:07. > :09:12.the area. The Government is making ?5 million available for people who

:09:13. > :09:16.need just to get money to buy the normal things of everyday life. This

:09:17. > :09:20.morning, I was in one of the hospitals meeting some of the

:09:21. > :09:25.victims there, and one of the women said to me, basically, she ran out

:09:26. > :09:29.of this Grenfell Tower, basically, with a T-shirt and a pair of

:09:30. > :09:32.knickers. She has nothing. That is why the Government is putting that

:09:33. > :09:37.funding in. There are other things we will do to provide support to

:09:38. > :09:49.ensure they are rehoused within three weeks. The people shouted

:09:50. > :09:55.coward that you this afternoon. We have made sure the public have the

:09:56. > :09:58.support they need in order to do -- the emergency services have the

:09:59. > :10:02.support they need in order to do the job they need to do in the

:10:03. > :10:07.aftermath. Thousands of blocks must now be inspected, millions of pounds

:10:08. > :10:11.in work, who knows how many moved to safety. Today, the Government

:10:12. > :10:16.pledged action. We will do whatever it takes, take the expert advice,

:10:17. > :10:19.make those building safe and make those people safe. Whatever it

:10:20. > :10:24.takes, we have to be led by the experts, but there can be no short

:10:25. > :10:29.cuts to this. Donations of clothing had been pouring in today. London's

:10:30. > :10:35.Mayor demanded help, answers and justice for those hit by the

:10:36. > :10:39.tragedy. It is really important that we are not left waiting for years

:10:40. > :10:42.before we get answers. We need answers now. I'm asking for an

:10:43. > :10:50.interim response to the enquiry this summer. Tonight, anti-government

:10:51. > :10:57.protesters took up the issue and took to the streets. More anger on

:10:58. > :10:59.the streets tonight, hundreds of demonstrators marching past Downing

:11:00. > :11:06.Street sent into central London. The chant: Theresa May must go. The

:11:07. > :11:09.Prime Minister's authority was weakened by the general election,

:11:10. > :11:13.and now she is facing another defining test that has come much

:11:14. > :11:17.sooner than Theresa May could have imagined. Expect more of these

:11:18. > :11:21.demonstrations and this disruption. This tragedy has become a cause, and

:11:22. > :11:25.another reason for the Government's enemies to turn up the volume.

:11:26. > :11:32.John Pienaar is in Westminster for us now.

:11:33. > :11:37.Theresa May has been weakened by the general election and this test, some

:11:38. > :11:46.of her opponents are saying she is failing.

:11:47. > :11:51.Theresa May has been running to catch up. I was in the area myself

:11:52. > :11:55.earlier on and was struck by the sight of hundreds of people of all

:11:56. > :11:58.communities and classes coming together to help, to offer more

:11:59. > :12:03.donations than volunteers on the ground could cope with. Everyone I

:12:04. > :12:07.spoke to spoke of the need for answers and help in the future. They

:12:08. > :12:15.wanted justice. It would be wrong to suggest that the seeds of this were

:12:16. > :12:21.planted on Theresa May's watch. It stretches back to Labour's time in

:12:22. > :12:24.office, but the buck. With the Prime Minister in number ten, the serving

:12:25. > :12:27.leader. John, what are the likely

:12:28. > :12:30.consequences of what is happening here, not just for the Government

:12:31. > :12:35.but in terms of the divisions in society it has exposed?

:12:36. > :12:40.In the past, we have seen occasions where terrible advances have led to

:12:41. > :12:43.advances in standards of safety and improved regulation and the like,

:12:44. > :12:49.and the hope must be that that will follow from this awful tragedy. Time

:12:50. > :12:52.will tell, but be enquiry could turn out to be a very significant event.

:12:53. > :12:56.In some ways, you could argue that it will put on trial the balance

:12:57. > :13:03.between profit and safety in the provision of housing, the treatment

:13:04. > :13:08.of less advantaged people could be put to the test in that enquiry, and

:13:09. > :13:14.for Theresa May, a severe political test is underway. Her colleagues are

:13:15. > :13:18.deeply disappointed. They will be watching her performance very

:13:19. > :13:22.carefully and critically indeed. Her enemies and political opponents will

:13:23. > :13:29.be watching like hawks for evidence of vulnerability and weakness.

:13:30. > :13:34.John Pienaar at Westminster, thank you. You can see more of that

:13:35. > :13:40.interview with Theresa May on Newsnight this evening at 10:30pm.

:13:41. > :13:46.Theresa May has pledged to rehouse all those affect I -- affected by

:13:47. > :13:51.the Grenfell Tower tragedy within three weeks. Kensington has a

:13:52. > :13:56.substantial housing waiting list and the highest rates of people living

:13:57. > :14:00.in temporary accommodation in London. Clive Mhairi looks at what

:14:01. > :14:03.happens next to the residents of Grenfell Tower.

:14:04. > :14:10.It dominates the horizon, a blackened tomb in the sky. The shell

:14:11. > :14:13.that is Grenfell Tower has raised uncomfortable questions about our

:14:14. > :14:23.society, about poverty and helplessness. The housing around

:14:24. > :14:26.here is very poor. Shoddy work, inferior materials, building

:14:27. > :14:31.materials. That is what it's about. I think people are just fed up with

:14:32. > :14:35.the situation. They want to know what happened, they want an answer.

:14:36. > :14:42.Especially those who have lost everything. What now for them beyond

:14:43. > :14:48.the nightmares? Sabha Abdullah lost his wife in the fire. Holmes, the

:14:49. > :14:52.council put him up in a hotel and then inexplicably moved into this

:14:53. > :14:58.old people's home, far from the life he knew. We have found you a good

:14:59. > :15:02.flat, so you don't need to stay in the hotel. I said, I'm happy here,

:15:03. > :15:10.happy in the hotel. They said, no, this is a good one. You might lose

:15:11. > :15:15.it. This is for elderly people. What on earth am I doing here? In fact,

:15:16. > :15:20.he is the only resident from Grenfell Tower living here. Most of

:15:21. > :15:22.the places here are empty. And it is half empty? That doesn't make sense,

:15:23. > :15:33.does it? You tell me. Summer there is confusion in the

:15:34. > :15:37.council's attempts to deal with the aftermath of the tragedy. But the

:15:38. > :15:40.long-standing shortage of social housing in the area is making

:15:41. > :15:45.matters worse. Kensington and Chelsea is wealthy, with stunning

:15:46. > :15:49.homes and handsome facade is. Some argue empty terraces should be

:15:50. > :15:52.requisitioned for the homeless of Grenfell Tower is, because of years

:15:53. > :15:56.of neglect in building council housing. This borough has one of the

:15:57. > :16:00.highest levels of households living in temporary accommodation, yet it

:16:01. > :16:04.is one of the richest in London. Last year, more than 2700 people

:16:05. > :16:09.were on the social housing waiting list. Meanwhile, more than 1800

:16:10. > :16:15.people are living in temporary accommodation. That's more than a

:16:16. > :16:18.much poorer borough like Lewisham. Today, Theresa May made a

:16:19. > :16:22.commitment, that those who lost their homes in the fire would be

:16:23. > :16:27.rehoused in three weeks, and as close as possible to Grenfell Tower.

:16:28. > :16:33.The local MP says that as a pipe dream. How much of a problem is

:16:34. > :16:38.social housing in what is probably one of the richest boroughs in the

:16:39. > :16:42.country? Yeah, it's chronic. I have been a councillor for 11 years, and

:16:43. > :16:47.some of the cases I have seen over that time have just been horrific.

:16:48. > :16:52.She agrees, empty luxury apartments should be taken over. The idea that

:16:53. > :16:56.there are empty flats there and people sleeping on church floors I

:16:57. > :17:16.find obscene. In a statement, the council said...

:17:17. > :17:23.This man is now living in a hotel. He says the council has no option

:17:24. > :17:27.but to follow through. If the councils don't rehouse people, there

:17:28. > :17:34.would be a riot, there would be a genuine riot. If you think, that

:17:35. > :17:40.would make everybody unite more than they have and stand up and stand

:17:41. > :17:42.together. And as dusk began to fall, we could feel the tension rise in a

:17:43. > :17:47.determined community. Police said today there was nothing

:17:48. > :17:50.to suggest that the fire, which broke out in the early hours

:17:51. > :17:53.of Wednesday morning, Investigators are still trying

:17:54. > :17:56.to piece together what happened and how the blaze spread so quickly

:17:57. > :18:01.throughout the building. There are now three inquiries -

:18:02. > :18:04.by the police, by the fire brigade, Our home affairs correspondent

:18:05. > :18:10.Tom Symonds now, on the questions the public inquiry will have

:18:11. > :18:24.to consider. It is the first obvious question.

:18:25. > :18:32.And it will be for the fire brigade to answer. The accounts of the

:18:33. > :18:35.residents will be important. This video was shot 20 minutes or so

:18:36. > :18:41.after a fridge caught light on the fourth floor. The Guy's fridge was

:18:42. > :18:46.by his kitchen window. The fire had already gone on the outside, and the

:18:47. > :18:51.wind has helped it, and then all of a sudden, the cladding has fallen.

:18:52. > :18:58.He said the cladding court. And that leads to question number two. It

:18:59. > :19:02.shouldn't have. The building was retard with aluminium panels in

:19:03. > :19:07.2016. The work was signed off by the council. So far there is no evidence

:19:08. > :19:13.standards were breached, but... The minimum safety standards which is

:19:14. > :19:18.expected for a building to keep it reasonably safe. If you're using

:19:19. > :19:22.materials, or in a circumstance which you know are more dangerous,

:19:23. > :19:29.then you have to mitigate that, make a risk assessment and engineer out

:19:30. > :19:33.at risk. In this test, the fire is contained by flameproof walls.

:19:34. > :19:38.Experts say good fire safety results from good design. Was the redesigned

:19:39. > :19:42.Grenfell Tower safe? And were there other factors? After the work was

:19:43. > :19:47.completed, has pipes were moved to public areas in the tower. Residents

:19:48. > :19:52.were furious. The job of finding out who might be to blame has now been

:19:53. > :19:56.taken over by the police. We will get to the answer of what has

:19:57. > :19:59.happened and why. That's why the police are taking the lead for the

:20:00. > :20:03.investigation. And if criminal offences have been committed, it is

:20:04. > :20:08.who will investigate that. Examining the wreckage will just be the start.

:20:09. > :20:13.They will have to look at the role of the council, building managers,

:20:14. > :20:19.contractors, subcontractors - a huge job. But are tell blocks safe? The

:20:20. > :20:23.Government is now identifying similar blocks for extra checks, a

:20:24. > :20:27.string of councils are doing their own assessments to reassure

:20:28. > :20:32.residents. At fatal fires in tower blocks are incredibly rare. This

:20:33. > :20:35.week Sheila is unprecedented. This is something the public inquiry is

:20:36. > :20:40.likely to consider. There have been plenty of warnings in the past. In

:20:41. > :20:46.another fire in Southwark in 2009, Harding was also a factor. A coroner

:20:47. > :20:48.demanded a review of fire safety in towers, suggesting more sprinters

:20:49. > :20:54.systems might be the answer. But introducing them widely might mean a

:20:55. > :20:58.new approach to fire safety. Grenfell Tower's design should have

:20:59. > :21:03.contained the fire - so-called passive safety. Could all blocks

:21:04. > :21:06.have active measures to prevent fire? One of these modern

:21:07. > :21:12.developments will have fire detection systems and sprinklers,

:21:13. > :21:15.and bringing those older blocks up to this sort of standard would not

:21:16. > :21:19.be cheap, and it would certainly best be disruptive for the

:21:20. > :21:24.residents. But what price should we put on a life, especially on the

:21:25. > :21:27.lives of those living in towers, often the poorest in society? This

:21:28. > :21:33.disaster has triggered a national debate which could last year's.

:21:34. > :21:42.Just some of the issues there thrown up by the terrible loss of life in

:21:43. > :21:46.the building behind me. Here, the streets are crowded, there are

:21:47. > :21:50.protests taking place but there is also married in front you soup

:21:51. > :21:53.kitchen which has sprung up very close to me now, where dozens and

:21:54. > :21:56.dozens of people are being fed here in the street.

:21:57. > :21:58.We'll bring you more from West London later

:21:59. > :22:01.in the programme, but for now, back to Jane in the studio.

:22:02. > :22:03.A brief look at some of the day's other other news.

:22:04. > :22:05.The Chancellor, Philip Hammond, has said that protecting jobs,

:22:06. > :22:08.growth and prosperity should be the priority in the talks

:22:09. > :22:10.with the European Union, which begin on Monday.

:22:11. > :22:12.Speaking before a meeting in Luxembourg, Mr Hammond said

:22:13. > :22:23.the Government would take a pragmatic approach.

:22:24. > :22:27.His comments appeared to strike a different tone to the Prime

:22:28. > :22:32.Minister, who has argued that no deal is better than a bad deal.

:22:33. > :22:36.A man has been arrested outside the Houses of Parliament

:22:37. > :22:40.Officers used a Taser when they detained him -

:22:41. > :22:43.The incident happened by the main Carriage Gates entrance -

:22:44. > :22:46.close to where Constable Keith Palmer was stabbed and killed during

:22:47. > :22:49.The two soldiers who died in an incident involving a tank

:24:02. > :24:06.every tweet, with every interview, Donald Trump is seeming to make life

:24:07. > :24:11.much, much more complicated for himself. If you cast your mind back,

:24:12. > :24:15.this started as an investigation by the FBI into the Trump campaign's

:24:43. > :24:45.it seems is being investigated for lunar possible obstruction of

:24:46. > :24:49.justice, and he seems to confirm as much this morning, with a tweet

:24:50. > :24:54.saying, I am being investigated for firing the FBI director. Of course,

:24:55. > :24:58.this is all draining away attention from the subjects that the president

:24:59. > :25:02.wants to talk about. The focus this week was meant to be all about jobs.

:29:08. > :29:10.you know, becoming a professional athlete or a top tennis player.

:29:11. > :29:13.And if you do the business to win it for a third time,

:29:14. > :29:16.you'd match what Fred Perry achieved - just how remarkable

:29:17. > :29:20.I never expected to win it once, never mind twice.

:29:21. > :29:24.So, I'll prepare as best I can, and if I play

:30:38. > :30:45.Pictures which tell their own tragic stories. Those who have lost their

:30:46. > :30:52.lives or who are feared to have died. It was confirmed today that

:30:53. > :30:55.Khadija Saye, who was 24, was one of those who perished. She was a

:30:56. > :30:58.promising young artist, and former colleagues feared the worst after

:30:59. > :31:04.reading her final tweets from the tower. Khadija was the whole

:31:05. > :31:08.package, she was a beautiful soul, a kind person, she was always

:31:09. > :31:13.volunteering, always looking out for young people, birdieing young

:31:14. > :31:17.people, very passionate about her own community and a hugely talented,

:31:18. > :31:20.creative artist Kirkuk for family and friends of those who are

:31:21. > :31:30.missing, the agonising wait gets longer. Spending much of today

:31:31. > :31:37.putting up edges of his uncle was Mo Khalil. We don't know. It is a

:31:38. > :31:43.pretty empty sort of feeling that we've all got. We've got no answers.

:31:44. > :31:52.All just looking at each other, just kind of hoping that we find him,

:31:53. > :31:55.really. Or find something. Those who made it to hospital on Wednesday are

:31:56. > :32:02.in good hands. This doctor was one of those at King's College hospital

:32:03. > :32:06.who had to work fast to clear the air waves of victims of smoke

:32:07. > :32:10.inhalation, and then their lungs. I found lots and lots of soot which

:32:11. > :32:15.was lining the lungs, and some of that was obviously quite hot when it

:32:16. > :32:20.got into the lungs, and so there were some burns underneath. And we

:32:21. > :32:25.washed out as much of that sucked as we possibly could to remove it. The

:32:26. > :32:36.emotion at the end of a punishing week is raw. -- as much of that

:32:37. > :32:45.soot. It's... Sorry. On a professional level, I feel immensely

:32:46. > :32:49.proud. But there is something so enormous about what's happened that

:32:50. > :32:54.it's impossible to comprehend. For most staff at the hospital, there

:32:55. > :32:57.was a need to care for families in distress as well as the patients

:32:58. > :33:01.themselves. Added you feel at the end of your shift? Erm, it's really

:33:02. > :33:05.tough. When you're working, you just power through a little bit, and it's

:33:06. > :33:11.only when you step back at the end of the day that you realise how

:33:12. > :33:20.upsetting it can be, sorry, dealing with so these things. It's really

:33:21. > :33:25.tough. Tonight, local churches organised the service of remembrance

:33:26. > :33:29.for those who died. The Bishop of Kensington reflecting the mood of

:33:30. > :33:31.the community. He said there was now a cry for justice and real, lasting

:33:32. > :33:45.change. That is all from us here on the BBC

:33:46. > :33:50.News at ten, by the skeleton of Grenfell Tower. As we all tried to

:33:51. > :33:54.take in the immensity and horror of what has happened, we will leave you

:33:55. > :33:58.with some of the messages written on a wall near the tower, including

:33:59. > :34:04.tributes to those who never made it out.

:34:05. > :34:10.The children, the families, the mothers.

:34:11. > :34:21.Everybody wants answers, because everybody's

:34:22. > :34:43.I will keep going on anger and adrenaline for as long as I can.

:34:44. > :34:48.Because frankly, I'd rather not sit down and actually contemplate what's
