:07:10. > :07:17.Two brothers, desperately searching for their family,
:07:18. > :07:29.Today, they came to the tower to be close to where their family once
:07:30. > :07:32.lived, to hope for their return and to pray for all
:07:33. > :07:47.We'll keep coming here and keep hoping to see them again.
:07:48. > :07:50.They describe themselves as bereft and say they have received no help
:07:51. > :07:55.Ministers say they are doing all they can to assist those
:07:56. > :08:07.I feel the community have come together better than the government
:08:08. > :08:18.When the casualty bureau number came out, I actually rang it and it
:08:19. > :08:29.To hear that message, that was just like a knife in the chest,
:08:30. > :08:33.The tall tower looms large here, its shadow dominates the area.
:08:34. > :08:42.I'd like to see reform to all high-rise buildings within London.
:08:43. > :08:45.I want the removal, I'd like to see the government remove any
:08:46. > :08:48.future plans of cladding within high-rise buildings.

:09:17. > :09:38.We have seen grief and sadness turned to rage against the
:09:39. > :09:44.authorities, some up the feelings of the community now? I think some of
:09:45. > :09:50.the theory that we saw in the first few days has dissipated slightly
:09:51. > :09:52.today. -- some of that period. There is an acknowledgement that things
:09:53. > :09:57.are beginning to get on track and there is a sense of willingness to
:09:58. > :10:03.try to make it work, to get behind it and help this community and help
:10:04. > :10:06.those helping this community, but you walk around the streets this
:10:07. > :10:10.evening and there are so many people who will tell you of their
:10:11. > :10:15.frustration and suspicion and I don't understand why there can't be
:10:16. > :10:18.more accurate figures about the numbers of missing and dead, they
:10:19. > :10:22.have some questions about the cladding and the insulation. They
:10:23. > :10:27.have heard so many theories but there is a growing realisation and
:10:28. > :10:31.acceptance that it could be a long time before they get answers to
:10:32. > :10:34.those questions and I think tonight, having seen those pictures from
:10:35. > :10:39.inside the block which showed how intense the blaze was, I think there
:10:40. > :10:42.is also a growing realisation that some of the families like those we
:10:43. > :10:46.have heard waiting for news, that some of them might never know what
:10:47. > :10:55.happened to their loved ones in there. Thanks for joining us.
:10:56. > :10:59.The Chancellor Philip Hammond, says Brexit talks must safeguard

:11:06. > :11:06.with the European Commission, due to begin tomorrow.
:11:07. > :11:09.Here's our political correspondent Alex Forsyth.
:11:10. > :11:13.It was a key reason for calling the election.
:11:14. > :11:17.Every vote for the Conservatives will make me stronger
:11:18. > :11:21.when I negotiate for Britain with the Prime Ministers,
:11:22. > :11:27.Presidents and Chancellors of the European Union.
:11:28. > :11:31.On the campaign trail a repeated plea.
:11:32. > :11:33.Strengthen my hand in those Brexit negotiations.
:11:34. > :11:37.Instead, by losing her majority, negotiations look tougher.
:11:38. > :11:43.On Brexit the Prime Minister faces pressure from all sides.
:11:44. > :11:46.Some think the Chancellor who backed Remain is one of those pushing
:11:47. > :11:50.Today he upped the stakes on the need to get
:11:51. > :11:57.No deal would be a very bad bad outcome from Britain.
:11:58. > :12:00.But there is a possible worse outcome that is a deal
:12:01. > :12:01.that is deliberately structured to punish us.
:12:02. > :12:04.To suck the lifeblood out of our economy.
:12:05. > :12:07.He said the UK would leave the single market and the customs
:12:08. > :12:09.union but there couldn't be a cliff edge.
:12:10. > :12:12.There would have to be transitional arrangements to keep trade flowing,
:12:13. > :12:18.He even attacked the Tory election campaign for not making more of it.
:12:19. > :12:21.It's true that my role in the election campaign was not
:12:22. > :12:31.I met lots of very interesting people and I heard lots
:12:32. > :12:48.I would have liked to have made much more of our economic record.
:12:49. > :12:51.Whatever the reason for the election result, this is the outcome.
:12:52. > :12:53.Anger from some, but lacking enough MPs on their own,
:12:54. > :12:55.the Tories have turned to Northern Ireland's
:12:56. > :12:57.Democratic Unionist Party, and their views on Brexit will now
:12:58. > :13:01.Theresa May is facing tough battles here, there's a whole raft of laws
:13:02. > :13:03.relating to Brexit that need to be passed.
:13:04. > :13:06.The Parliamentary session has been extended to two years.
:13:07. > :13:11.The Tories alone are divided about what Brexit should mean.
:13:12. > :13:13.And that's without the views of political opponents.
:13:14. > :13:19.Labour could flex its muscles, suggesting today the UK could stay
:13:20. > :13:22.in the customs union which allows tariff-free trade within the EU.
:13:23. > :13:24.Well, I think that should be left on the table.
:13:25. > :13:26.So we could stay inside the customs union?
:13:27. > :13:30.There's also this notion of no deal being a viable deal
:13:31. > :13:32.which Theresa May and the government have repeatedly said.
:13:33. > :13:36.No deal is what happens if you get to the end of the two years
:13:37. > :13:38.and you haven't been able to reach agreement.
:13:39. > :13:42.Extracting the UK from the EU isn't going to be easy,
:13:43. > :13:46.and there's still no real clarity from anyone about what Brexit
:13:47. > :13:49.should or will look like, but it's clear that here
:13:50. > :13:51.as well as in Brussels, the Prime Minister is
:13:52. > :13:59.It's almost a year since the UK voted to leave the European Union,
:14:00. > :14:02.and it's two months since the formal Brexit process was triggered,
:14:03. > :14:04.under Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty governing
:14:05. > :14:10.That means Brexit will take place in March 2019.
:14:11. > :14:12.So, what will the negotiations in Brussels tomorrow involve?
:14:13. > :14:20.Our Europe correspondent Damian Grammaticas explains.
:14:21. > :14:27.Monday morning 11 o'clock Brussels time, at the seventh floor of EU
:14:28. > :14:30.headquarters, the talks that will decide the UK's future finally
:14:31. > :14:36.began, so who are the key players for the UK? David Davis the Brexit
:14:37. > :14:42.secretary takes the lead and for the EU Michel Barnier is the chief
:14:43. > :14:47.negotiator. A former French Foreign Minister has spent months preparing.
:14:48. > :14:52.Meeting Prime Ministers and chancellors across Europe, and also
:14:53. > :14:56.tweeting, he's not averse to self-promotion, and those who know
:14:57. > :15:00.him say he is level-headed but South, and on holiday he said there
:15:01. > :15:06.is a long road ahead. Michel Barnier is a realist, he is calm, I hope the
:15:07. > :15:11.Conservatives will also be calm because that is the best way for
:15:12. > :15:21.negotiations. The EU has laid out its plan and will expect UK to
:15:22. > :15:25.follow it, and the first phase will deal with exit terms, and only if it
:15:26. > :15:30.is satisfied with move to the second phase, the UK's future relationship
:15:31. > :15:33.with the EU. UK wanted trade talks on the start so that the issues are
:15:34. > :15:40.to be focus on first include citizens rights, the rights of EU
:15:41. > :15:43.citizens in the UK and UK citizens in the EU, and financial
:15:44. > :15:47.obligations, how they will be calculating and the Irish border,
:15:48. > :15:51.how to avoid one between North and South. Some in the EU say one thing
:15:52. > :15:56.Michel Barnier will make clear is that the UK's expectation that it
:15:57. > :16:00.can get as good a deal outside the block as inside is not realistic.
:16:01. > :16:04.What is the wishful thinking that you are hearing that you think he
:16:05. > :16:09.will bring down-to-earth? I give you an example. Great Britain decides to
:16:10. > :16:15.get out of the single market and of the customs union, but decides to be
:16:16. > :16:22.in again. I mean, you are out. You are out. Or you are in, you are in.
:16:23. > :16:25.The talks have to be wrapped up by late next year and the timetable is
:16:26. > :16:30.very tight, the issue is very complex. The concern, a logjam in
