:02:21. > :02:27.BBC News has learnt that residents were still being told to stay put
:02:28. > :02:31.in their flats until almost two hours after the fire broke out.
:02:32. > :02:33.Tonight, at a public meeting, angry survivors confronted
:02:34. > :02:35.the senior police officer investigating the fire -
:02:36. > :02:46.Here's our special correspondent Lucy Manning.
:02:47. > :02:53.Into Grenfell Tower and up the stairs. The narrow stairs. The only
:02:54. > :02:59.escape route. And it was covered with black smoke. Bodies filled this
:03:00. > :03:02.stair well. Now those identifying victims climb up, struggling for
:03:03. > :03:08.breath. Many of the residents who were told to stay during the fire
:03:09. > :03:13.didn't make it down these stairs. As the forensic work at Grenfell Tower
:03:14. > :03:17.continues, slowly, new details are emerging about what those inside
:03:18. > :03:21.were told on the night of the fire. The BBC has seen documents setting
:03:22. > :03:30.out how the residents of Grenfell Tower were told to stay in their
:03:31. > :03:36.flats until 2. 47am. The first 999 call was made at 6 minutes to 1. So
:03:37. > :03:41.far an hour and 53 minutes those calling for help were told to stay
:03:42. > :03:50.put. It took nearly two hours for the advice to change to evacuate.
:03:51. > :03:55.These pictures from 40 minutes after the first emergency call show just
:03:56. > :04:00.how high the flames had reached. An hour later it had engulfed the whole
:04:01. > :04:04.tower. There is no doubt the firefighters were heroes, but the
:04:05. > :04:11.fire policy for tower blocks was and still is to stay put. The stay put
:04:12. > :04:15.advice is broadly sound. But clearly this was an unprecedented fire and
:04:16. > :04:19.at some point it was obvious the advice needed to change. Whether it
:04:20. > :04:24.should have been changed earlier I wouldn't want to speculate. For the
:04:25. > :04:27.families still waiting for relatives to be identified, the information
:04:28. > :04:33.that for nearly two hours the advice was to stay put is hard to divest.
:04:34. > :04:40.This man's mum, sister, brother-in-law and their three
:04:41. > :04:44.children lived on the 22nd floor. His man's uncle was on the top
:04:45. > :04:48.floor. Does two hours sound like a long time? Of course. Like within 15
:04:49. > :04:58.minutes the whole building caught fire. You know, after two hours,
:04:59. > :05:03.it's too late. When after that time, the chances have dropped for them
:05:04. > :05:10.and for everybody else. It is the most appalling... It's like as if...
:05:11. > :05:15.You know you have taken away that chance. That chance. But when you
:05:16. > :05:21.say stay in your house, you know, stay in your house, you know,
:05:22. > :05:28.just... What can you say? What can you say? Firefighters did risk their
:05:29. > :05:34.own lives to try to save others. The BBC understands 31 were injured.
:05:35. > :05:37.Almost all from smoke inhalation. The London Fire Brigade said the
:05:38. > :05:44.stay put policy would be for the inquiries to look at, but the advice
:05:45. > :05:51.can change as the fire changes. This is a flat where everyone did escape.
:05:52. > :05:57.But a month on debris is being sieved for remains. Only 34 victims
:05:58. > :05:59.have been formally identified. I deeply understand the frustration
:06:00. > :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. > :06:14.in the authorities low, the new council leader's admission she has
:06:15. > :06:24.never been in a high rise tower block won't help. I accept I haven't
:06:25. > :06:31.been, I haven't been up a tower block, but I have been in a huge
:06:32. > :06:35.number of hoers. Tonight she and the senior investigating officer faced a
:06:36. > :06:39.tense atmosphere. He was shouted down with cries of, arrest someone.
:06:40. > :06:47.The test of my investigation will be whether it is done properly. Not
:06:48. > :06:51.quickly. Can you arrest somebody. Arrest somebody, make arrests.
:06:52. > :06:55.Please, do your job, make arrests first. You haven't been listening
:06:56. > :07:01.from the start and you're still not listening. A months on, and the
:07:02. > :07:04.families want funerals and justice. Tonight hundreds of people attended
:07:05. > :07:07.a vigil near Grenfell Tower Four weeks on - relations
:07:08. > :07:10.between the survivors and the authorities
:07:11. > :07:13.are still strained. Our Home Editor Mark Easton reports

:07:34. > :07:38.of the missing are everywhere. On trees and walls and bus shelters,
:07:39. > :07:41.unblinking, it's hard More than 250 escaped
:07:42. > :07:53.the tower that fateful night, but around 80 people
:07:54. > :07:56.are missing or confirmed dead. Floor by floor, the names
:07:57. > :08:00.and faces of all those They arrived at Grenfell
:08:01. > :08:04.from all over the world, more than 20 countries represented
:08:05. > :08:06.among the missing. Families with small children
:08:07. > :08:10.who'd recently moved in, pensioners who lived in the block
:08:11. > :08:13.for over 40 years. The fact that we still don't know
:08:14. > :08:23.exactly who and how many died in this fire a month later tells us
:08:24. > :08:26.something, I think, about society's relationship with the people
:08:27. > :08:29.who lived in Grenfell. Some were perhaps happy to be
:08:30. > :08:31.anonymous, but others were simply marginalised,
:08:32. > :08:38.isolated and ignored. Only the most vulnerable
:08:39. > :08:40.and desperate would have been eligible for a vacant flat
:08:41. > :08:45.in the tower. Traditional council
:08:46. > :08:46.housing like Grenfell has Fewer social homes were built last
:08:47. > :08:51.year than at any time I mean, you look around,
:08:52. > :08:56.it's actually a beautiful estate. Pilgrim Tucker tried to give
:08:57. > :08:59.the residents of Grenfell a voice through her work as a housing
:09:00. > :09:02.campaigner in the area. The fact that it's become so hard
:09:03. > :09:07.to get good social housing now and that more and more it's only
:09:08. > :09:11.the most vulnerable people who can qualify
:09:12. > :09:14.for the kind of housing Should be available to everybody,
:09:15. > :09:22.means that there is a section here of people who were really
:09:23. > :09:25.disengaged, and I think that's a real shame and it shouldn't
:09:26. > :09:30.necessarily be like that. The fire has burned through

:09:47. > :09:52.of all parties, by the way - local politicians and national
:09:53. > :09:55.politicians, is them letting them down, is them making
:09:56. > :09:59.promises they don't keep. More of us have got
:10:00. > :10:01.to spend time there. More of us have got to walk
:10:02. > :10:04.in the shoes of some The community has

:10:21. > :10:23.you know, we might never know some It's very, very, very sad and,
:10:24. > :10:30.you know, I wouldn't have expected something like that,
:10:31. > :10:32.actually, to happen in the 21st "In the heart of our great city,

:11:05. > :11:08.lawyer last year who was said to have information from the Kremlin
:11:09. > :11:10.which would help his Today, the President
:11:11. > :11:13.said his son had been open and transparent
:11:14. > :11:15.and was innocent. Our Chief Correspondent
:11:16. > :11:30.Gavin Hewitt reports. There is said to be frustration in
:11:31. > :11:34.the White House over the publication of these e-mails on Russia. Groups
:11:35. > :11:39.official trying to come up with a strategy to manage the crisis. The
:11:40. > :11:44.risk is that this administration is seen to be paralysed by this, so
:11:45. > :11:46.today, President Trump was tweeting, saying that his administration was
:11:47. > :11:50.functioning in his words perfectly. Donald Trump's son out defending
:11:51. > :11:56.himself after revelations from e-mails that last year he met
:11:57. > :12:00.a Russian lawyer who he believed would offer him incriminating
:12:01. > :12:04.information and Hillary Clinton. In retrospect, I probably would have
:12:05. > :12:07.done things a little differently. Again, this is before the Russia
:12:08. > :12:10.mania, this is before they were building it up
:12:11. > :12:12.in the press. For me, this was
:12:13. > :12:13.opposition research... In his interview, Donald Trump Jr
:12:14. > :12:16.said he hadn't referred It was such a nothing,
:12:17. > :12:22.there was nothing to tell. I mean, I wouldn't have even
:12:23. > :12:25.remembered it until you start It was literally just a wasted 20
:12:26. > :12:29.minutes, which was a shame. President Trump was quick
:12:30. > :12:31.to praise his son's television So who are the key players involved
:12:32. > :12:43.in the meeting last year? The initial approach
:12:44. > :12:46.to Donald Trump Jr about a potential Russian meeting came
:12:47. > :12:47.from Rob Goldstone, He helped schedule the appointment
:12:48. > :12:53.with Natalia Veselnitskaya, Also in the room was Paul Manafort,
:12:54. > :13:02.Trump's campaign manager, and Jared Kushner, Trump's
:13:03. > :13:04.son-in-law - a clear sign they thought the meeting
:13:05. > :13:09.would be significant. The email shows an intent
:13:10. > :13:12.and a desire to have a foreign government interfere in the American
:13:13. > :13:16.election of the president. Asking for that kind
:13:17. > :13:21.of assistance, if that was that in and of itself
:13:22. > :13:26.can be a crime. The White House has been active,
:13:27. > :13:28.pointing out that there has been no illegality,
:13:29. > :13:30.no law broken, no sensitive But that doesn't mean there are no
:13:31. > :13:34.risks in all of this In this atmosphere of political
:13:35. > :13:40.crisis, focus turned towards Capitol Hill
:13:41. > :13:41.and the confirmation hearings He was asked whether he agreed with
:13:42. > :13:49.the president that the investigation by Special Councel Mueller
:13:50. > :13:51.into Russian meddling and lasted's Do you believe that,
:13:52. > :14:00.in light of the Don Jnr e-mail and other allegations,
:14:01. > :14:01.that this whole thing about Trump campaigning
:14:02. > :14:04.in Russia is a witchhunt? Is that a fair description of what
:14:05. > :14:08.we're all dealing with in America? Senator, I can't speak
:14:09. > :14:11.to the basis of those comments. I can tell you that my experience

:14:17. > :14:19.director, did you consider this I do not consider Director Mueller

:14:45. > :14:49.Nick Bryant, has been to Nebraska, a state that voted for Mr Trump
:14:50. > :14:55.in last year's election. In the rollicking ride
:14:56. > :14:57.of the Trump presidency, you often wonder how long
:14:58. > :15:03.he will stay on the horse. Every day seems to bring a new
:15:04. > :15:07.wrestle in the mud - with the media, Congress, international leaders -

:15:30. > :15:38.Trump Junior's bombshell e-mails were released, the pigs
:15:39. > :15:41.were more agitated than the people. No-one we spoke to
:15:42. > :15:43.at this County Fair was in the least bit concerned that
:15:44. > :15:46.Team Trump might have been telling porkies about its contacts
:15:47. > :15:49.with Russian figures. They echoed the White
:15:50. > :15:52.House line that the The media's taken it
:15:53. > :15:56.out of proportion. I haven't followed
:15:57. > :16:04.it for a while now, I think it's just a farce spun
:16:05. > :16:11.by the left, because they lost. What is noticeable
:16:12. > :16:13.about coming to the heartland is that people aren't
:16:14. > :16:16.glued to their smart They're not following this
:16:17. > :16:18.presidency minute by minute, But you do get the sense that
:16:19. > :16:24.some people feel that Donald Trump is fixated
:16:25. > :16:30.by his problems, rather than theirs. That is the concern of the local
:16:31. > :16:33.Republican Mayor, Josh Moenning. What I hear from people is less
:16:34. > :16:36.tweeting and more doing. I think there is a kind of
:16:37. > :16:40.bewilderment about the compulsion to tweet about everything and anything,
:16:41. > :16:47.so I think people like to see him focus more on some
:16:48. > :16:54.of his campaign promises. In America's fiercely patriotic
:16:55. > :16:56.heartland, it seems anomalous that voters aren't concerned

:18:33. > :18:38.to mind, we knew this By the end of today's
:18:39. > :18:43.match, he looked empty. It started so well
:18:44. > :18:45.against Sam Querrey. Murray broke him at
:18:46. > :18:48.the first opportunity. That's a hungry
:18:49. > :18:52.performance from Murray. Maybe if Murray had won the second
:18:53. > :18:56.set, he could have got the match In the third set tie-break
:18:57. > :19:02.we saw sheer endeavour. Murray scrambling, covering every
:19:03. > :19:05.blade to get it back - But he could barely
:19:06. > :19:13.compete in the fourth set. His mind was urging,
:19:14. > :19:15.but his body wasn't responding. But Sam Querrey was getting
:19:16. > :19:22.stronger by the second. In the fifth set, Murray kept
:19:23. > :19:28.chasing, kept pursuing. And as he walked towards
:19:29. > :19:38.the handshake, that limp seemed The whole tournament I've
:19:39. > :19:43.been a little bit sore. But that's obviously disappointing,
:19:44. > :19:58.to lose at Wimbledon, there was obviously
:19:59. > :20:01.an opportunity there. To knock out the champion
:20:02. > :20:06.is a fine achievement. But had Murray really
:20:07. > :20:08.been in shape to defend? Today, he was half
:20:09. > :20:12.the player he normally is. Towards the latter stage
:20:13. > :20:15.of the match, it was sad to see him go out in that fashion because he's
:20:16. > :20:18.a great, great player and he was
:20:19. > :20:22.so desperate to play here. You could see the pain
:20:23. > :20:25.he was in today and I felt Murray will rest, but
