Tonight at ten, it's been a day
of travel chaos as heavy snow falls, | 0:00:05 | 0:00:09 | |
causing disruption
across much of the UK. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:14 | |
Motorists are told to travel
only if absolutely necessary, | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
with accidents causing long
tailbacks on some motorways. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:21 | |
Hundreds of flights are cancelled
or delayed for several hours, | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
including at Heathrow and
Birmingham. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:31 | |
I left work early after a night
shift to get here because of the | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
snow, and then to find out my flight
has been cancelled. They could have | 0:00:34 | 0:00:38 | |
told us before we left home when
they saw the weather. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
The forecast for tomorrow morning
is treacherous icy conditions | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
on the roads. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:44 | |
We'll have the latest. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:45 | |
Also tonight... | 0:00:45 | 0:00:46 | |
Boris Johnson holds talks in Tehran
to try to get Britons released | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
from Iranian jails. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:50 | |
The disgraced publicist
Max Clifford has died | 0:00:50 | 0:00:55 | |
after suffering a heart
attack in prison. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
And six months after
the Grenfell Tower disaster, | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
there are fresh concerns that not
enough local community | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
voices are being heard
in the official inquiry. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:12 | |
Good evening. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
Heavy snow fell across much
of the UK today, causing | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
disruption on the roads,
to air travel, and on the railways. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
Hundreds of flights were cancelled
or delayed at a number of airports, | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
including at Heathrow,
Stansted, and in Belfast. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:43 | |
There were problems for rail
passengers too, while the police | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
warned motorists to travel
only if absolutely necessary. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
The Met Office says it's
the heaviest snowfall to hit parts | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
of the UK in four years. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:51 | |
Tomorrow, hundreds of schools
in the Midlands, Gloucestershire | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
and Shropshire will be closed. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
The forecast is of
freezing conditions. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
Our correspondent Richard Lister
is in Beaconsfield | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
in Buckinghamshire for us tonight. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:04 | |
Much of Britain looked
like a Christmas card today. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:09 | |
Scotland and northern England
had been expecting snow, | 0:02:09 | 0:02:14 | |
but this was Buckinghamshire,
and on the ground, it wasn't pretty. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
Breakdowns and blizzards
on the M25 near Gerrards Cross | 0:02:17 | 0:02:23 | |
made for slow going,
in slippery conditions. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:29 | |
On the A34 near Newbury, two stuck
lorries meant the southbound | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
carriageway had to be closed. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:37 | |
But in Wales, some smaller
communities were cut off entirely | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
and thousands of people lost power. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
This was Llangollen today. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
This is by far the worst
I've ever seen. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
It's probably the worst snow
I've ever seen, to be honest. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
It's certainly about a foot deep. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
In the Midlands, they'd hoped
gritters would be enough | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
to keep the roads safe, | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
but in Redditch, they
needed snowploughs. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
It's been a long day for breakdown
services like the RAC, | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
which has been getting
five calls a minute. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:11 | |
I had problems starting it. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:12 | |
I tried starting it last
night and this morning. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:22 | |
It just won't have it. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:25 | |
Mark says everything he's dealt
with today has been weather-related. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
Only travel if you really have to. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:29 | |
If you are going to travel,
make sure you have good things | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
on you like a fully charged | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
phone and warm clothing
in case you get stuck, | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
because you may get stuck
in traffic for hours. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
This is just one of
an estimated 25,000 breakdowns | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
across the UK today. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:41 | |
That's 15% more than usual, | 0:03:41 | 0:03:42 | |
everything from flat
batteries to people stuck | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
in their drives because of snow. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
And it's not just motorists who've
been having problems. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
Hundreds of flights were cancelled. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
Heathrow, Luton and Stansted
were among the airports affected. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:55 | |
And there were unhappy passengers
at East Midlands Airport too. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
A bit frustrated. | 0:03:58 | 0:03:59 | |
A lot of wasted time this morning. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
They could have told
us when we checked in | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
that the flight was cancelled. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
We've been waiting around
for about six, seven hours. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
A P&O ferry with 300 passengers
on board ran aground | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
in Calais due to high winds. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:17 | |
No one was hurt and it
was refloated, but this | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
was a day to stay at home... | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
And maybe do some of this -
skiing in Shropshire... | 0:04:23 | 0:04:28 | |
Snowmen, sledging and
snowballs in Nottingham. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:34 | |
But what looks like fun on Sunday
afternoon could look very different | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
on Monday morning at rush hour. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:38 | |
Gritters will be out
in force through the night, | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
preparing for another
difficult day to come. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:51 | |
Richard, the forecast for tomorrow
is not looking good for travellers? | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
It certainly isn't. This far south,
most people did not expect this | 0:04:56 | 0:05:00 | |
amount of snow. On the ground, much
of it is still here. The pavements | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
are slippery, the roads are
slippery. It will make for a | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
treacherous commute tomorrow. And
the temperatures are falling. The | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
Met Office has said that eyes will
be a major hazard until about | 0:05:11 | 0:05:16 | |
lunchtime tomorrow -- ice will be a
hazard. It has issued two yellow bee | 0:05:16 | 0:05:22 | |
aware warnings, one in Northern
Ireland and Scotland, the other for | 0:05:22 | 0:05:26 | |
Wales and central England. If you
are in those areas, you can expect a | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
lengthy commute tomorrow. And ice is
not just a problem on the roads. The | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
icing issues have caused delays in
many airports earlier today. So if | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
you have a flight tomorrow morning,
you might want to check that that is | 0:05:37 | 0:05:41 | |
going before you leave for the
airport. Ice means other problems | 0:05:41 | 0:05:46 | |
too. It can mean that trees fall
across power lines, and power cuts | 0:05:46 | 0:05:51 | |
are likely for many tomorrow. If you
are on the roads, Highways England | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
said just be a safe as you can,
dress warmly. Hundreds of schools | 0:05:54 | 0:05:59 | |
will close tomorrow. That will mean
more disruption. If you are taking | 0:05:59 | 0:06:04 | |
public transport, check your journey
before you leave the house. Richard, | 0:06:04 | 0:06:08 | |
thank you. Richard Lister in
Beaconsfield in Buckinghamshire. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:14 | |
The Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson
has held talks with the Iranian | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
President in a bid to secure
the freedom of citizens with dual | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
nationality currently
being held in Iranian jails. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
They include Nazanin
Zaghari-Ratcliffe, | 0:06:21 | 0:06:22 | |
who's accused of spying. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:23 | |
Mr Johnson described his visit
to Tehran as "worthwhile". | 0:06:23 | 0:06:28 | |
Today, Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe's
husband said he hoped his wife | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
would be home for Christmas. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:31 | |
Our Diplomatic Correspondent
James Robbins reports. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
Boris Johnson spent nearly
an hour with | 0:06:34 | 0:06:40 | |
Iran's President, Hassan Rouhani, | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
that access itself seen as a good
sign as improving relations. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
The Foreign Office says both sides
spoke forthrightly about obstacles | 0:06:45 | 0:06:47 | |
in the relationship and the need
to make progress. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:49 | |
Once again, Boris Johnson
raised the case of dual | 0:06:49 | 0:06:53 | |
nationals in Iranian prisons,
including Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
We now know the Foreign Secretary
met some of Nazanin's | 0:06:56 | 0:07:02 | |
family in Tehran. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
In London, her husband Richard
is much happier today, | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
showing me pictures of his Iranian
family and delighted by the fact | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
that Nazanin didn't have to face
a possible court appearance today. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
He told me about the family
meeting with Boris Johnson. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
The Foreign Secretary also met
with Nazanin's father | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
and had a long chat,
45 minutes, with him, | 0:07:16 | 0:07:22 | |
talked about it and he said "I have
raised her case with everyone | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
I have met. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:27 | |
This is important. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:28 | |
I will keep worrying
and battling for her. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
Don't worry, we're caring
for her and we'll do what we can". | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
They came away pretty hopeful. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:34 | |
So if there has been progress
in these UK-Iran talks, | 0:07:34 | 0:07:38 | |
where might it have been made? | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
The Foreign Secretary has been
careful to say nothing | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
publicly while in Iran. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:44 | |
But a Foreign Office statement says
the two sides discussed | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
the full range of issues,
including banking matters | 0:07:47 | 0:07:53 | |
and our concerns about the consular
cases of dual nationals. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
Those banking matters include two
major Iranian grievances. | 0:07:55 | 0:08:02 | |
one, that no UK bank
will open an account | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
for Iran's embassy in London,
fearful it could put them in trouble | 0:08:04 | 0:08:08 | |
put them in trouble
with US authorities. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:12 | |
There are signs that that
could be sorted soon. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
Second, the Iranians want Britain
to repay a long-standing debt | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
of around £400 million. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:18 | |
A way to do that without breaching
sanctions also looks closer. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:23 | |
Both sides say these issues are not
linked to prisoner releases, | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
but giving one side something it
wants often helps the other | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
to give in return. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:33 | |
One gift to Britain would be
the reunion of Nazanin | 0:08:33 | 0:08:37 | |
with her three-year-old daughter,
Gabriella, seen here just before her | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
arrest in April last year. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:41 | |
The family is feeling
much more positive. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
The Foreign Office delegation left
Iran sensing both sides wanted | 0:08:45 | 0:08:49 | |
to resolve the difficult issues
in the relationship. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
James Robbins, BBC News. | 0:08:51 | 0:09:00 | |
The Brexit Secretary, David Davis,
says Britain won't pay a divorce | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
bill for leaving the European Union
if there's no final | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
trade deal with the EU. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:09 | |
But in a statement to MPs
tomorrow, the Prime Minister | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
will say a new sense | 0:09:11 | 0:09:12 | |
of optimism has been injected
into the talks. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
Meanwhile, the Labour Party has
suggested that it may be | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
willing to pay for access
to the European single market | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
in order to retain its benefits. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:20 | |
Here's our political
correspondent Iain Watson. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
Was the strain beginning to show? | 0:09:22 | 0:09:25 | |
This was the Prime Minister
on her early morning dash | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
to Brussels on Friday. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:34 | |
There was relief all round that
talks could now move on to trade, | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
but serious challenges lie ahead. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:38 | |
The EU has called for more clarity
about what kind of future | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
relationship Britain wants. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:42 | |
Today, the Brexit secretary
tried to give it. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
Canada plus, plus, plus would be
one way of putting it. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
So what on earth does that mean? | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
Well, Canada has negotiated
a wide-ranging trade deal which gets | 0:09:50 | 0:09:54 | |
rid of most tariffs on goods
exported to the EU, but it | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
doesn't cover everything. | 0:09:57 | 0:09:58 | |
A Canada plus deal would also
include financial services, | 0:09:58 | 0:10:03 | |
a vital part of the UK economy,
and could well cover | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
employment rights too. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
If you look at any free-trade deal,
what you see is agreement on where | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
product standards normally comply. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:12 | |
That's what it comes down to. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
Sometimes, you see other things. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
In the free-trade deal
between Europe and Canada, | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
they say on labour standards,
they will not go below the ILO, | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
the International Labour
Organisation minimum. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
But he made clear that paying
a divorce bill to the EU would be | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
dependent on getting a good deal. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:27 | |
I don't expect to see an awful lot
of seasonal goodwill when ministers | 0:10:27 | 0:10:31 | |
finally discuss what kind of deal
they want to do with the EU | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
just before Christmas. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
Already, for example,
the Brexit secretary | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
and the Chancellor seem to disagree
over whether we should pay a divorce | 0:10:38 | 0:10:42 | |
bill under all circumstances. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
But one thing has
become clearer today - | 0:10:46 | 0:10:47 | |
what Labour would do
if Jeremy Corbyn moved | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
in here to Number Ten. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:53 | |
The shadow Brexit secretary
signalled an unwillingness to move | 0:10:53 | 0:10:55 | |
too far away
from EU rules and regulations. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
Do we see Europe as our major
trading partner in the future? | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
Or do we want to rip
ourselves apart from that? | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
And he suggested that like Norway,
Labour wanted to stay close | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
to the EU and may be prepared to pay
for access to its single market. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:13 | |
Norway pays money in. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
They do it on a voluntary basis,
but there may be... | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
Would you accept it? | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
There may have to be payments,
that would have to be negotiated. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
And the Shadow Foreign Secretary
would consider staying close | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
to the EU's customs union too,
which might restrict | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
the ability to do trade deals. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
Most of our trade is
with the European Union. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
We're just stating
a fact, and so we should | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
not be kiboshing that. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:42 | |
The political parties have contained
some of the disagreements in Europe | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
by being a bit ambiguous
about the future. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:46 | |
But with trade talks about to start,
difficult decisions can | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
no longer be deferred. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:50 | |
Iain Watson, BBC News. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
The chairman of King's College
Hospital NHS Foundation Trust | 0:11:53 | 0:11:59 | |
in London has resigned. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:00 | |
Lord Kerslake accused the Government
and regulator of being "unrealistic" | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
about the challenges faced
by the health service. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
It is understood that the hospital
was close to being put | 0:12:06 | 0:12:08 | |
into a financial special measures
regime in which NHS Improvement | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
staff would work alongside
hospital management. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:20 | |
The disgraced publicist
Max Clifford has died. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
He was 74. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:29 | |
he was serving an eight-year
sentence for eight indecent | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
assaults against teenage
girls. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:32 | |
Danny Shaw reports. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:33 | |
He was the PR supremo who could make
or break a reputation. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:36 | |
But when Max Clifford's
past caught up with him, | 0:12:36 | 0:12:42 | |
his own career lay in ruins. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
The last three years of his life
were spent in prison in failing | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
health and this morning,
after suffering a heart attack, | 0:12:48 | 0:12:50 | |
he died in hospital. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:51 | |
The allegations in respect
of which I have been charged | 0:12:51 | 0:12:53 | |
are completely false. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:56 | |
Max Clifford always denied
the claims of indecent assault that | 0:12:56 | 0:12:58 | |
eventually led to his downfall. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:05 | |
But his trial heard evidence
about his manipulative behaviour, | 0:13:05 | 0:13:07 | |
how he promised to boost
the careers of aspiring | 0:13:07 | 0:13:09 | |
models and actresses
in return for sexual favours. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
He was found guilty of eight charges
against four women and girls. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
The youngest victim was 15. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
For 30 years, the publicist
provided sensational | 0:13:18 | 0:13:20 | |
stories for the tabloids. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
He represented Faria Alam,
who worked at the Football | 0:13:23 | 0:13:27 | |
Association and had an affair
with the England manager, | 0:13:27 | 0:13:29 | |
Sven-Goran Eriksson. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
It was Clifford who helped expose
a relationship between a former | 0:13:31 | 0:13:33 | |
Conservative MP David Mellor
and Antonia de Sancha, | 0:13:33 | 0:13:40 | |
though parts of it weren't true. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
This story from Clifford was also
a fiction, but it made for a great | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
headline in the Sun. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
Max Clifford's death leaves many
unresolved legal issues. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:52 | |
He was being sued by his
victims and appealing | 0:13:52 | 0:13:54 | |
against his convictions,
protesting his innocence to the end. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:56 | |

The Qatari government is buying 24
Typhoon jets from BAE systems. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:06 | |
Britain's Defence Secretary Gavin
Williamson signed the deal, | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
worth in the region
of £5 billion, in Doha. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:14 | |
Around 5,000 BAE employees are
involved in building the Typhoon, | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
mainly at Warton in Lancashire. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:23 | |
Two Devon teenagers who died
after a suspected drug-related | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
incident in a Plymouth nightclub
have been named. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:28 | |
Aaron Reilly, from Newton Abbot,
on the left here and Joshua Brock, | 0:14:28 | 0:14:30 | |
from Okehampton, both died
after collapsing in Pryzm nightclub | 0:14:30 | 0:14:33 | |
in Plymouth in the early hours
of yesterday morning. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
An 18-year-old man arrested
in connection with the deaths has | 0:14:35 | 0:14:39 | |
been released under investigation. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:44 | |
It's six months since
the Grenfell Tower disaster, | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
in which 71 people lost their lives. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
Today, the equalities
watchdog announced | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
that it's to launch its own review
into the causes behind the fire | 0:14:52 | 0:15:00 | |
after criticisms that
the current judge-led inquiry | 0:15:00 | 0:15:02 | |
is not broad enough. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:03 | |
Our correspondent Elaine Dunkley has
been spending time with the local | 0:15:03 | 0:15:05 | |
community to find out
about the issues affecting them. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
Grenfell Tower is rarely out
of sight or out of mind | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
for the people of this community. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
It's been six months
since one of Britain's | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
deadliest fires took the lives of 71
people and left hundreds | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
without homes. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:20 | |
Families are in such a bad place. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:26 | |
Karim Mussilhy lost his
uncle Hesham Rahman, who | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
lived on the 23rd floor. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
Uncle Hesham was kind and generous. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:35 | |
In my eyes and in my family's
eyes, he was a hero. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
This should never have happened. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:39 | |
These people never should have
lost their lives that night | 0:15:39 | 0:15:41 | |
in the way they did. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:42 | |
So we are extremely determined. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
We will fight for as long
as it takes to make sure | 0:15:44 | 0:15:46 | |
that this never happens
again, our loved ones | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
are never forgotten,
and, | 0:15:48 | 0:15:49 | |
you know, the right
changes are made. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
There have been funerals,
inquests and now the public inquiry. | 0:15:51 | 0:16:01 | |
people here are demanding
that they are on the panel. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
The time for reflection
has been short. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
You know, the people that
were out here helping | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
have witnessed a lot. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:12 | |
This group met for the first
time on the night of the | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
fire as they helped
organise donations. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
They've remained friends,
a bond formed in the most tragic | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
of circumstances. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:20 | |
How has this changed the people that
you know, the people | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
that you used to see every
day, coming and going? | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
People are different.
You can see it, you can feel it. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:30 | |
The children, at first
the children | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
who visited where I work
were asking questions. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:33 | |
Why was there a fire? | 0:16:34 | 0:16:35 | |
What happened to those people? | 0:16:35 | 0:16:39 | |
And you're finding
yourself explaining | 0:16:39 | 0:16:40 | |
to two and three-year-olds why
people have perished in a fire. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:45 | |
For a long time, me
personally, I was in denial. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
That didn't happen in my mind. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
Until, like you said, you've had
a moment to stop and then you | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
realise it actually did. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:55 | |
There's no words to
describe it, honestly, | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
there's actually no
words to describe it. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:02 | |
There are people to talk
to and I have recently | 0:17:02 | 0:17:04 | |
been going to counselling. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:11 | |
But that's just only
happened five months on. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:17 | |
This is the Harrow Club. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:24 | |
For many children in
the area, this place is | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
at the centre of their lives. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
Since the fire, it has become
even more important. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
It's different when it's
in your area and it actually affects | 0:17:31 | 0:17:33 | |
you. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:34 | |
Many of the children here lost
friends and their homes. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
We've been staying in
a hotel for six months. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:39 | |
Before, I used to have a space
where I could do my homework | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
and everything could
be nice and quiet. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
And I could have my own time. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:45 | |
But now in the hotel,
because I've got a lot | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
of siblings and they
are all young, they run | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
around and you don't
have your own personal space. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
118 families are still
in emergency accommodation. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
The Royal Borough of Kensington
and Chelsea Council says | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
the process has been slow. | 0:17:56 | 0:18:02 | |
but they are beginning
to make progress. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:04 | |
Alison Moses has been rehoused. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
Here is where I have
all my grandchildren | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
and my baby stuff. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
And has also been reunited
with a memory box found | 0:18:11 | 0:18:13 | |
amongst the ashes of her
flat in Grenfell Tower. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:18 | |
She says families desperately
need stability in order | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
to rebuild their lives. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
They cannot grieve normally. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
That grieving probably
won't even take place now | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
until they have a home
and they are somewhat settled. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:33 | |
Then grieving can start. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
This is so sad. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:37 | |
There's a lot of work to be done. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:39 | |
Christmas is just around the corner. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
People should not still be
in hotels at this stage. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:47 | |
People here feel like the world
will move on | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
and forget what happened. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:54 | |
But this community is defiant
and say they will continue | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
to show strength in
the shadow of this tragedy. | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |

With all the sport,
here's Karthi Gnanasegaram | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
at the BBC Sport Centre. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:09 | |
Clive, good evening. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:13 | |
It was an important derby day in
the Premier League, but it is time | 0:19:13 | 0:19:16 | |
to pop out of the room if you don't
want to know today's results | 0:19:16 | 0:19:23 | |
as Match of the Day 2
and Sportscene later in Scotland, | 0:19:23 | 0:19:25 | |
follow on BBC One. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:26 | |
Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side
have set a new English top flight | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
record with their 14th successive
victory this season. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
Nicolas Otamendi scored the winner
as they beat Manchester United | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
2-1 at Old Trafford. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:41 | |
Wayne Rooney scored for the first
time in a Merseyside derby, | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
his penalty conversion making sure
of a point for Everton as they drew | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
1-1 with Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:48 | |
Liverpool remain in fourth place. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:49 | |
While City's win
increases their lead at the top | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
of the table to 11 points,
a huge blow to their title rivals. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
And Southampton and Arsenal drew
1-1 today after a late | 0:19:55 | 0:19:58 | |
Olivier Giroud header salvaged
a point for Arsenal, | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |
who are in fifth place. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:01 | |
In the Scottish Premiership,
Hibernian scored twice in the final | 0:20:01 | 0:20:04 | |
15 minutes to come back from two
goals down to draw 2-2 with Celtic, | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
who are now unbeaten
in 68 domestic games. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:09 | |
In rugby union's European Champions
Cup, Exeter's year long unbeaten run | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
at home came to an end
with defeat to Leinster. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
Harlequins' hopes of reaching
the quarter finals are over | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
after defeat to Ulster. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:18 | |
While Wasps lost for the second
time in their campaign, | 0:20:18 | 0:20:21 | |
beaten by an impressive
La Rochelle side by 49-29. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
Adam Wild rounds up the action. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:33 | |
La Rochelle may be a new
name amongst Europe's | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
rugby elite, but theirs | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
is a side fast catching the eye
and turning the heads of the game's | 0:20:48 | 0:20:51 | |
more established order. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:52 | |
Teams like Wasps, history,
tradition on their side, | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
still Rob Miller's early try
was something of a surprise. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:57 | |
So too La Rochelle's
response, at least for | 0:20:57 | 0:20:59 | |
Danny Cipriani. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:00 | |
His kick charged down
and Wasps' good work | 0:21:00 | 0:21:02 | |
immediately on done. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:03 | |
As if to encapsulate
the French side's | 0:21:03 | 0:21:04 | |
this his first-ever | 0:21:04 | 0:21:05 | |
start in a professional game,
this his first try, putting | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
La Rochelle further ahead
from where they would | 0:21:08 | 0:21:10 | |
scarcely look back. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:11 | |
They ran in six tries
in all, another | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
formidable performance. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:14 | |
It may be their first time
in Europe's premier tournament, | 0:21:14 | 0:21:19 | |
yet they remain the side
setting the pace. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
Behind them in the group, Ulster,
now up to second, 17-5 the | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
scoreline in this wintry
win over Harlequins. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:27 | |
For Saracens, it was
the weather that won. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
Their match against
Clermont Auvergne lost | 0:21:29 | 0:21:30 | |
amidst the snow. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:35 | |
Whilst in Exeter, there
were plenty of hats, but not | 0:21:35 | 0:21:40 | |
all strictly designed for warmth. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:42 | |
The Chiefs were given
hope against Leinster | 0:21:42 | 0:21:43 | |
with this James Shaw try. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
But the Irish side bundled
and barged their way back, 18-8. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:47 | |
They stay top of their group. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:49 | |
Adam Wild, BBC News. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:54 | |
Ronnie O'Sullivan has equalled
Steve Davis's record by winning | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
a sixth UK Snooker title. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
O'Sullivan beat
Shaun Murphy by 10-5. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
He has won two of snooker's three
Major titles this year. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:08 | |
And there's more on the BBC Sport
