:00:16. > :00:21.This staircase was the only way out for the residents.

:00:22. > :00:25.All I can say is, please be patient, we are doing our utmost best for you

:00:26. > :00:27.and we are working as hard as we can.

:00:28. > :00:36.Engulfed by fire - the BBC's learnt that residents

:00:37. > :00:39.were still being told to stay put in their flats almost two hours

:00:40. > :00:43.Within 15 minutes, the whole building caught fire, you know,

:00:44. > :00:56.We want support, where is the support.

:01:43. > :01:44.Novak Djokovic couldn't even last to the end

:01:45. > :02:08.An injured shoulder forced him to retire against Thomas Berdych.

:02:09. > :02:12.Police have released new footage from inside Grenfell Tower -

:02:13. > :02:16.a month after the fire that killed at least 80 people.

:02:17. > :02:17.It shows officers climbing the blackened staircase -

:02:18. > :02:20.which was the only way out for hundreds of people

: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

:07:14. > :07:16.on how the community has reacted A black nail hammered

:07:17. > :07:26.in to London's conscience. Grenfell Tower demands

:07:27. > :07:33.your attention. In its shadow, the faces

: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

:09:31. > :09:33.the veneer of London life to reveal We have many invisible Londoners,

:09:34. > :09:43.and I'm afraid there London mayor Sadiq Khan believes

:09:44. > :09:46.the fire has exposed Their experience of politicians -

: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

:10:05. > :10:07.had to be resilient. This is the boxing club that used

:10:08. > :10:11.to meet in a gym at the bottom But a public fundraiser has meant

:10:12. > :10:15.the local boys and girls are back in training,

:10:16. > :10:20.in the corner of a nearby car park. It's harrowing, really that,

: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,

:10:33. > :10:40.people live a fundamentally different life, don't feel the state

:10:41. > :10:42.works for them." The words of the Prime Minister

:10:43. > :10:47.week after the fire. Along with a hope that its legacy

:10:48. > :10:49.is that we never forget Mark Easton, BBC News,

:10:50. > :10:56.North Kensington. The greatest witch-hunt

:10:57. > :11:00.in political history - that's what Donald Trump has called

:11:01. > :11:04.the controversy surrounding his son after it emerged he met a Russian

: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

:14:12. > :14:16.with Director Mueller... I'm asking you as the future FBI

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

:14:20. > :14:23.to be on a witchhunt. In an interview with the Christian

:14:24. > :14:26.Broadcasting Network today, President Trump tried to refocus

:14:27. > :14:30.attention back onto his latest legislative agenda and away

:14:31. > :14:32.from the questions about Russia, So what do the President's

:14:33. > :14:42.supporters make of the latest revelations about his campaign team

:14:43. > :14:44.and the mounting questions Our Washington Correspondent,

: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 -

:15:08. > :15:11.but here in Nebraska, a Trump state at the election,

:15:12. > :15:13.there is still strong support for his presidency,

:15:14. > :15:15.despite the attempts Are you happy with

:15:16. > :15:23.the job he is doing? He is a good businessman

:15:24. > :15:26.and that's what the country needs, to get the country

:15:27. > :15:29.back out of there and get On the night that Donald

: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

:16:57. > :17:00.about Russian meddling. But here they seem more

:17:01. > :17:03.mistrustful of the media A brief look at some of the day's

:17:04. > :17:17.other other news stories. A gay man has won a landmark ruling

:17:18. > :17:20.at the Supreme Court which will give his husband the same

:17:21. > :17:22.pension rights as a The ruling - in favour

:17:23. > :17:26.of John Walker - could have a dramatic effect

:17:27. > :17:28.on the entitlement of thousands of people in same sex marriages

:17:29. > :17:31.or civil partnerships. Royal Bank of Scotland has been

:17:32. > :17:34.fined more than ?3.5 billion by the US authorities

:17:35. > :17:37.for its role in selling the risky mortgage products

:17:38. > :17:39.that were at the centre Another fine, which could be even

:17:40. > :17:45.bigger, is expected later this year. The boss of RBS - which is still 72%

:17:46. > :17:48.owned by the Government - described today's settlement

:17:49. > :17:50.as a "stark reminder" Unemployment has fallen

:17:51. > :17:57.to its lowest level since 2005, down 64,000 to 1.49 million

:17:58. > :18:01.in the three months to May. Figures out today also show earnings

:18:02. > :18:04.rose by 2% year-on-year, that's slightly higher

:18:05. > :18:06.than predicted, but still below The defending champion and world

:18:07. > :18:15.number one was beaten in the quarter Tonight he finally admitted he had

:18:16. > :18:21.been struggling with a hip injury. Our sports correspondent Joe Wilson

:18:22. > :18:26.reports from Wimbledon. No player owns Centre Court,

:18:27. > :18:28.but it's where Andy Murray In 2008, he reached his first

:18:29. > :18:32.Wimbledon quarterfinal. But from feet, through hip,

: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

:20:26. > :20:28.years take their toll. Novak Djokovic retired hurt midway

:20:29. > :20:34.through his quarterfinal today. It all makes Roger

:20:35. > :20:37.Federer extraordinary. His 100th Wimbledon match -

:20:38. > :20:39.straight sets win and through And from a British perspective

:20:40. > :20:45.there's still a big reason On this court, two little

:20:46. > :20:49.words that mean so much. Her Centre Court

:21:48. > :21:51.extortionate and I think to "go whistle" is an entirely

:24:21. > :24:23.in and out of hospital. She's blind, can't move,

:24:24. > :24:28.her brain isn't fully developed. She's suffered frequent seizures

:24:29. > :24:32.since she was a baby. It is so distressing to actually

:24:33. > :24:34.watch, even though I've I've laid next her to see what's

:24:35. > :24:41.happening and I can feel her body And I can only begin to imagine

:25:24. > :25:29.like she is suffering now, if her future is going to be very

:25:30. > :25:33.limited quality of life, then the kindest thing we can do

:25:34. > :25:36.right now is to withdraw things that are keeping her alive,

:25:37. > :25:41.which is her medications, her fluids, because she's
