:02:22. > :02:27.BBC News has learnt that residents were still being told to stay put
:02:28. > :02:32.in their flats until almost two hours after the fire broke out.
:02:33. > :02:34.Tonight, at a public meeting, angry survivors confronted
:02:35. > :02:36.the senior police officer investigating the fire -
:02:37. > :02:47.Here's our special correspondent Lucy Manning.
:02:48. > :02:54.Into Grenfell Tower and up the stairs. The narrow stairs. The only
:02:55. > :03:00.escape route. And it was covered with black smoke. Bodies filled this
:03:01. > :03:03.stair well. Now those identifying victims climb up, struggling for
:03:04. > :03:09.breath. Many of the residents who were told to stay during the fire
:03:10. > :03:14.didn't make it down these stairs. As the forensic work at Grenfell Tower
:03:15. > :03:18.continues, slowly, new details are emerging about what those inside
:03:19. > :03:22.were told on the night of the fire. The BBC has seen documents setting
:03:23. > :03:31.out how the residents of Grenfell Tower were told to stay in their
:03:32. > :03:37.flats until 2. 47am. The first 999 call was made at 6 minutes to 1. So
:03:38. > :03:42.far an hour and 53 minutes those calling for help were told to stay
:03:43. > :03:51.put. It took nearly two hours for the advice to change to evacuate.
:03:52. > :03:56.These pictures from 40 minutes after the first emergency call show just
:03:57. > :04:01.how high the flames had reached. An hour later it had engulfed the whole
:04:02. > :04:05.tower. There is no doubt the firefighters were heroes, but the
:04:06. > :04:12.fire policy for tower blocks was and still is to stay put. The stay put
:04:13. > :04:16.advice is broadly sound. But clearly this was an unprecedented fire and
:04:17. > :04:20.at some point it was obvious the advice needed to change. Whether it
:04:21. > :04:25.should have been changed earlier I wouldn't want to speculate. For the
:04:26. > :04:28.families still waiting for relatives to be identified, the information
:04:29. > :04:34.that for nearly two hours the advice was to stay put is hard to divest.
:04:35. > :04:40.This man's mum, sister, brother-in-law and their three
:04:41. > :04:45.children lived on the 22nd floor. His man's uncle was on the top
:04:46. > :04:49.floor. Does two hours sound like a long time? Of course. Like within 15
:04:50. > :04:59.minutes the whole building caught fire. You know, after two hours,
:05:00. > :05:04.it's too late. When after that time, the chances have dropped for them
:05:05. > :05:11.and for everybody else. It is the most appalling... It's like as if...
:05:12. > :05:16.You know you have taken away that chance. That chance. But when you
:05:17. > :05:22.say stay in your house, you know, stay in your house, you know,
:05:23. > :05:29.just... What can you say? What can you say? Firefighters did risk their
:05:30. > :05:35.own lives to try to save others. The BBC understands 31 were injured.
:05:36. > :05:38.Almost all from smoke inhalation. The London Fire Brigade said the
:05:39. > :05:45.stay put policy would be for the inquiries to look at, but the advice
:05:46. > :05:52.can change as the fire changes. This is a flat where everyone did escape.
:05:53. > :05:57.But a month on debris is being sieved for remains. Only 34 victims
:05:58. > :06:00.have been formally identified. I deeply understand the frustration
:06:01. > :06:05.families have and the answers they wants. It is only natural. All I can
:06:06. > :06:10.say is be patient, we are doing our utmost best for you. But with trust
:06:11. > :06:15.in the authorities low, the new council leader's admission she has
:06:16. > :06:25.never been in a high rise tower block won't help. I accept I haven't
:06:26. > :06:32.been, I haven't been up a tower block, but I have been in a huge
:06:33. > :06:36.number of hoers. Tonight she and the senior investigating officer faced a
:06:37. > :06:40.tense atmosphere. He was shouted down with cries of, arrest someone.
:06:41. > :06:47.The test of my investigation will be whether it is done properly. Not
:06:48. > :06:52.quickly. Can you arrest somebody. Arrest somebody, make arrests.
:06:53. > :06:56.Please, do your job, make arrests first. You haven't been listening
:06:57. > :07:02.from the start and you're still not listening. A months on, and the
:07:03. > :07:05.families want funerals and justice. Tonight hundreds of people attended
:07:06. > :07:08.a vigil near Grenfell Tower Four weeks on - relations
:07:09. > :07:11.between the survivors and the authorities
:07:12. > :07:14.are still strained. Our Home Editor Mark Easton reports

:07:35. > :07:39.of the missing are everywhere. On trees and walls and bus shelters,
:07:40. > :07:41.unblinking, it's hard More than 250 escaped
:07:42. > :07:54.the tower that fateful night, but around 80 people
:07:55. > :07:57.are missing or confirmed dead. Floor by floor, the names
:07:58. > :08:01.and faces of all those They arrived at Grenfell
:08:02. > :08:05.from all over the world, more than 20 countries represented
:08:06. > :08:07.among the missing. Families with small children
:08:08. > :08:11.who'd recently moved in, pensioners who lived in the block
:08:12. > :08:14.for over 40 years. The fact that we still don't know
:08:15. > :08:24.exactly who and how many died in this fire a month later tells us
:08:25. > :08:27.something, I think, about society's relationship with the people
:08:28. > :08:30.who lived in Grenfell. Some were perhaps happy to be
:08:31. > :08:32.anonymous, but others were simply marginalised,
:08:33. > :08:39.isolated and ignored. Only the most vulnerable
:08:40. > :08:41.and desperate would have been eligible for a vacant flat
:08:42. > :08:45.in the tower. Traditional council
:08:46. > :08:47.housing like Grenfell has Fewer social homes were built last
:08:48. > :08:51.year than at any time I mean, you look around,
:08:52. > :08:57.it's actually a beautiful estate. Pilgrim Tucker tried to give
:08:58. > :09:00.the residents of Grenfell a voice through her work as a housing
:09:01. > :09:03.campaigner in the area. The fact that it's become so hard
:09:04. > :09:08.to get good social housing now and that more and more it's only
:09:09. > :09:12.the most vulnerable people who can qualify
:09:13. > :09:15.for the kind of housing Should be available to everybody,
:09:16. > :09:23.means that there is a section here of people who were really
:09:24. > :09:26.disengaged, and I think that's a real shame and it shouldn't
:09:27. > :09:31.necessarily be like that. The fire has burned through

:09:48. > :09:53.of all parties, by the way - local politicians and national
:09:54. > :09:56.politicians, is them letting them down, is them making
:09:57. > :10:00.promises they don't keep. More of us have got
:10:01. > :10:02.to spend time there. More of us have got to walk
:10:03. > :10:05.in the shoes of some The community has

:10:22. > :10:24.you know, we might never know some It's very, very, very sad and,
:10:25. > :10:31.you know, I wouldn't have expected something like that,
:10:32. > :10:33.actually, to happen in the 21st "In the heart of our great city,

:11:06. > :11:09.lawyer last year who was said to have information from the Kremlin
:11:10. > :11:11.which would help his Today, the President
:11:12. > :11:14.said his son had been open and transparent
:11:15. > :11:16.and was innocent. Our Chief Correspondent
:11:17. > :11:31.Gavin Hewitt reports. There is said to be frustration in
:11:32. > :11:35.the White House over the publication of these e-mails on Russia. Groups
:11:36. > :11:40.official trying to come up with a strategy to manage the crisis. The
:11:41. > :11:45.risk is that this administration is seen to be paralysed by this, so
:11:46. > :11:47.today, President Trump was tweeting, saying that his administration was
:11:48. > :11:51.functioning in his words perfectly. Donald Trump's son out defending
:11:52. > :11:57.himself after revelations from e-mails that last year he met
:11:58. > :12:01.a Russian lawyer who he believed would offer him incriminating
:12:02. > :12:05.information and Hillary Clinton. In retrospect, I probably would have
:12:06. > :12:08.done things a little differently. Again, this is before the Russia
:12:09. > :12:11.mania, this is before they were building it up
:12:12. > :12:13.in the press. For me, this was
:12:14. > :12:14.opposition research... In his interview, Donald Trump Jr
:12:15. > :12:17.said he hadn't referred It was such a nothing,
:12:18. > :12:23.there was nothing to tell. I mean, I wouldn't have even
:12:24. > :12:26.remembered it until you start It was literally just a wasted 20
:12:27. > :12:30.minutes, which was a shame. President Trump was quick
:12:31. > :12:32.to praise his son's television So who are the key players involved
:12:33. > :12:44.in the meeting last year? The initial approach
:12:45. > :12:47.to Donald Trump Jr about a potential Russian meeting came
:12:48. > :12:48.from Rob Goldstone, He helped schedule the appointment
:12:49. > :12:54.with Natalia Veselnitskaya, Also in the room was Paul Manafort,
:12:55. > :13:03.Trump's campaign manager, and Jared Kushner, Trump's
:13:04. > :13:05.son-in-law - a clear sign they thought the meeting
:13:06. > :13:10.would be significant. The email shows an intent
:13:11. > :13:13.and a desire to have a foreign government interfere in the American
:13:14. > :13:16.election of the president. Asking for that kind
:13:17. > :13:22.of assistance, if that was that in and of itself
:13:23. > :13:27.can be a crime. The White House has been active,
:13:28. > :13:29.pointing out that there has been no illegality,
:13:30. > :13:31.no law broken, no sensitive But that doesn't mean there are no
:13:32. > :13:35.risks in all of this In this atmosphere of political
:13:36. > :13:41.crisis, focus turned towards Capitol Hill
:13:42. > :13:42.and the confirmation hearings He was asked whether he agreed with
:13:43. > :13:49.the president that the investigation by Special Councel Mueller
:13:50. > :13:52.into Russian meddling and lasted's Do you believe that,
:13:53. > :14:01.in light of the Don Jnr e-mail and other allegations,
:14:02. > :14:02.that this whole thing about Trump campaigning
:14:03. > :14:05.in Russia is a witchhunt? Is that a fair description of what
:14:06. > :14:09.we're all dealing with in America? Senator, I can't speak
:14:10. > :14:12.to the basis of those comments. I can tell you that my experience

:14:19. > :14:20.director, did you consider this I do not consider Director Mueller
:14:21. > :14:24.to be on a witchhunt. In an interview with the Christian

:14:46. > :14:50.Nick Bryant, has been to Nebraska, a state that voted for Mr Trump
:14:51. > :14:56.in last year's election. In the rollicking ride
:14:57. > :14:58.of the Trump presidency, you often wonder how long
:14:59. > :15:04.he will stay on the horse. Every day seems to bring a new
:15:05. > :15:08.wrestle in the mud - with the media, Congress, international leaders -

:15:31. > :15:39.Trump Junior's bombshell e-mails were released, the pigs
:15:40. > :15:42.were more agitated than the people. No-one we spoke to
:15:43. > :15:44.at this County Fair was in the least bit concerned that
:15:45. > :15:47.Team Trump might have been telling porkies about its contacts
:15:48. > :15:50.with Russian figures. They echoed the White
:15:51. > :15:53.House line that the The media's taken it
:15:54. > :15:57.out of proportion. I haven't followed
:15:58. > :16:05.it for a while now, I think it's just a farce spun
:16:06. > :16:12.by the left, because they lost. What is noticeable
:16:13. > :16:14.about coming to the heartland is that people aren't
:16:15. > :16:16.glued to their smart They're not following this
:16:17. > :16:19.presidency minute by minute, But you do get the sense that
:16:20. > :16:25.some people feel that Donald Trump is fixated
:16:26. > :16:31.by his problems, rather than theirs. That is the concern of the local
:16:32. > :16:34.Republican Mayor, Josh Moenning. What I hear from people is less
:16:35. > :16:37.tweeting and more doing. I think there is a kind of
:16:38. > :16:41.bewilderment about the compulsion to tweet about everything and anything,
:16:42. > :16:48.so I think people like to see him focus more on some
:16:49. > :16:55.of his campaign promises. In America's fiercely patriotic
:16:56. > :16:57.heartland, it seems anomalous that voters aren't concerned

:18:30. > :18:33.Wimbledon quarterfinal. But from feet, through hip,
:18:34. > :18:39.to mind, we knew this By the end of today's
:18:40. > :18:44.match, he looked empty. It started so well
:18:45. > :18:46.against Sam Querrey. Murray broke him at
:18:47. > :18:49.the first opportunity. That's a hungry
:18:50. > :18:53.performance from Murray. Maybe if Murray had won the second
:18:54. > :18:57.set, he could have got the match In the third set tie-break
:18:58. > :19:03.we saw sheer endeavour. Murray scrambling, covering every
:19:04. > :19:06.blade to get it back - But he could barely
:19:07. > :19:13.compete in the fourth set. His mind was urging,
:19:14. > :19:16.but his body wasn't responding. But Sam Querrey was getting
:19:17. > :19:23.stronger by the second. In the fifth set, Murray kept
:19:24. > :19:29.chasing, kept pursuing. And as he walked towards
:19:30. > :19:39.the handshake, that limp seemed The whole tournament I've
:19:40. > :19:44.been a little bit sore. But that's obviously disappointing,
:19:45. > :19:59.to lose at Wimbledon, there was obviously
:20:00. > :20:01.an opportunity there. To knock out the champion
:20:02. > :20:07.is a fine achievement. But had Murray really
:20:08. > :20:09.been in shape to defend? Today, he was half
:20:10. > :20:13.the player he normally is. Towards the latter stage
:20:14. > :20:16.of the match, it was sad to see him go out in that fashion because he's
:20:17. > :20:19.a great, great player and he was
:20:20. > :20:23.so desperate to play here. You could see the pain
:20:24. > :20:26.he was in today and I felt Murray will rest, but
