Tonight at 10: Police release the first pictures | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
from inside Grenfell Tower, after the devastating fire, | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
that's feared to have killed more than 58 people. | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
The charred remains of one flat where everyone escaped, | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
is testament to the ferocity of the blaze. | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
Today the Mayor of London, said it was an avoidable tragedy. | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
Remember those who lost their lives in a preventable accident that | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
didn't need to happen, and the tragedy we are seeing | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
is because of the consequence of mistakes and neglect | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
of politicians from the council and from the government. | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
Services have been held to remember the victims, | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
as the local council leader defends his handling of the crisis. | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
The council has been incredibly active since the early hours of | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
I was here at 330 on Wednesday morning, I have | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
Tonight the first payments from a ?5 million Government fund, | :00:58. | :01:05. | |
have been made to survivors of the fire. | :01:06. | :01:06. | |
All eyes are on Brussels, as Britain prepares for the opening | :01:07. | :01:15. | |
President Macron looks set to win a huge majority | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
COMMENTATOR: That is in the air, it is all over! | :01:21. | :01:30. | |
And Pakistan thrash their fierce rival, and title holders India, | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
in the Champions Trophy final, at the Oval. | :01:33. | :01:50. | |
The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan says the Grenfell Tower fire disaster, | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
in which more than 58 people are feared to have died, | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
was the consequence of years of neglect by successive governments | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
He says the tragedy was totally preventable. | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
He was speaking as the leader of the local council | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
in Kensington and Chelsea said he was doing everything | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
he could to provide help to those affected. | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
Tonight, the police have released pictures from inside the tower, | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
showing the devastating aftermath of the fire, as our | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
The people who lived in these flats are all accounted for. | :02:24. | :02:46. | |
They agreed police could release these images tonight to show just | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
how much damage has been done, to show the conditions recovery teams | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
are now faced with as they search Grenfell Tower. | :02:55. | :03:02. | |
Father, we pray for those who are suffering loss, while | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
we pray for those who are waiting with hope, in the end fear. | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
Beneath the tower, people of all faiths are | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
It continues to be a time of anxiety, | :03:18. | :03:28. | |
Some of the dead and missing are known in this | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
congregation, and even in moments of peace, | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
Heaven knows what the next few weeks... | :03:37. | :03:46. | |
If the death toll rises, I am deadly serious, what is going to happen, | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
because the anger, I have never seen anything like it. | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
The community is terrible, and they are mad about everything. | :03:53. | :04:04. | |
At a nearby mosque, more donations for the bereaved | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
The community response remains overwhelming. | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
But five days on, some feel they are still having to do | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
what the authorities should be doing. | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
Are you from the Home Office? No, I live up the road. | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
No one knows that they are here, they are sitting | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
But there are signs of progress, the main rescue centre is now being | :04:21. | :04:36. | |
run by a neighbouring council after all the criticism | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
And the extra foot patrols promised by the Prime Minister are now here, | :04:39. | :04:46. | |
brought in from other parts of London to provide | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
But politicians from all sides know that | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
Angry not simply at the poor response in the days afterwards from | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
the council and the government, but the years of neglect from the | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
Tonight, the Prime Minister has announced that every household | :05:03. | :05:17. | |
affected is to get ?500 cash immediately with at least ?5000 more | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
to follow, and that there will be additional money available to pay | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
for funerals and mental health services. | :05:24. | :05:24. | |
It is a good gesture, I guess, in a way. | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
But Patricia, who lives nearby, told me money is only | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
I'm a mother and a grandmother, and no amount of money | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
The leader of Kensington and Chelsea visited the scene today. | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
He said he understood all the criticism, but he | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
The council has been incredibly active since the early hours | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
I was here at 330 on Wednesday morning, I've been here | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
There are still so many questions about the way | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
the tower was built, the way it was | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
And despite the desperate need for answers, people | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
Gratitude tonight for the firefighters searching through the | :06:07. | :06:16. | |
wreckage, months of gruelling work lie ahead. | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
While politicians talk of the legacy and of lessons learned, | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
One a day like this, they say, it is impossible | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
The families of some of those still missing, | :06:29. | :06:40. | |
remain hopeful their relatives may be alive, but they're | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
also realistic that the chances are slim. | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
Our reporter Sima Kotecha has been speaking to two brothers, | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
searching for six members of their family. | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
This is Nadia's children, Mirna Choucair, Fatima Choucair | :06:54. | :07:09. | |
Two brothers, desperately searching for their family, | :07:10. | :07:17. | |
Today, they came to the tower to be close to where their family once | :07:18. | :07:29. | |
lived, to hope for their return and to pray for all | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
We'll keep coming here and keep hoping to see them again. | :07:33. | :07:47. | |
They describe themselves as bereft and say they have received no help | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
Ministers say they are doing all they can to assist those | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
I feel the community have come together better than the government | :07:56. | :08:07. | |
When the casualty bureau number came out, I actually rang it and it | :08:08. | :08:18. | |
To hear that message, that was just like a knife in the chest, | :08:19. | :08:29. | |
The tall tower looms large here, its shadow dominates the area. | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
I'd like to see reform to all high-rise buildings within London. | :08:34. | :08:42. | |
I want the removal, I'd like to see the government remove any | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
future plans of cladding within high-rise buildings. | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
We need to act, we need to learn from our mistakes. | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
The sunshine blazed down on London today but the mood | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
For many, the pain is too great and too raw. | :09:00. | :09:07. | |
Even though they were on the 22nd floor at the time of | :09:08. | :09:16. | |
We have seen grief and sadness turned to rage against the | :09:17. | :09:38. | |
authorities, some up the feelings of the community now? I think some of | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
the theory that we saw in the first few days has dissipated slightly | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
today. -- some of that period. There is an acknowledgement that things | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
are beginning to get on track and there is a sense of willingness to | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
try to make it work, to get behind it and help this community and help | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
those helping this community, but you walk around the streets this | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
evening and there are so many people who will tell you of their | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
frustration and suspicion and I don't understand why there can't be | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
more accurate figures about the numbers of missing and dead, they | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
have some questions about the cladding and the insulation. They | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
have heard so many theories but there is a growing realisation and | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
acceptance that it could be a long time before they get answers to | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
those questions and I think tonight, having seen those pictures from | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
inside the block which showed how intense the blaze was, I think there | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
is also a growing realisation that some of the families like those we | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
have heard waiting for news, that some of them might never know what | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
happened to their loved ones in there. Thanks for joining us. | :10:47. | :10:55. | |
The Chancellor Philip Hammond, says Brexit talks must safeguard | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
the British economy, and that reaching no deal, | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
He was speaking ahead of the start of negotiations, | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
with the European Commission, due to begin tomorrow. | :11:06. | :11:06. | |
Here's our political correspondent Alex Forsyth. | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
It was a key reason for calling the election. | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
Every vote for the Conservatives will make me stronger | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
when I negotiate for Britain with the Prime Ministers, | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
Presidents and Chancellors of the European Union. | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
On the campaign trail a repeated plea. | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
Strengthen my hand in those Brexit negotiations. | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
Instead, by losing her majority, negotiations look tougher. | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
On Brexit the Prime Minister faces pressure from all sides. | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
Some think the Chancellor who backed Remain is one of those pushing | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
Today he upped the stakes on the need to get | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
No deal would be a very bad bad outcome from Britain. | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
But there is a possible worse outcome that is a deal | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
that is deliberately structured to punish us. | :12:01. | :12:01. | |
To suck the lifeblood out of our economy. | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
He said the UK would leave the single market and the customs | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
union but there couldn't be a cliff edge. | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
There would have to be transitional arrangements to keep trade flowing, | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
He even attacked the Tory election campaign for not making more of it. | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
It's true that my role in the election campaign was not | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
I met lots of very interesting people and I heard lots | :12:22. | :12:31. | |
I would have liked to have made much more of our economic record. | :12:32. | :12:48. | |
Whatever the reason for the election result, this is the outcome. | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
Anger from some, but lacking enough MPs on their own, | :12:52. | :12:53. | |
the Tories have turned to Northern Ireland's | :12:54. | :12:55. | |
Democratic Unionist Party, and their views on Brexit will now | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
Theresa May is facing tough battles here, there's a whole raft of laws | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
relating to Brexit that need to be passed. | :13:02. | :13:03. | |
The Parliamentary session has been extended to two years. | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
The Tories alone are divided about what Brexit should mean. | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
And that's without the views of political opponents. | :13:12. | :13:13. | |
Labour could flex its muscles, suggesting today the UK could stay | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
in the customs union which allows tariff-free trade within the EU. | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
Well, I think that should be left on the table. | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
So we could stay inside the customs union? | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
There's also this notion of no deal being a viable deal | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
which Theresa May and the government have repeatedly said. | :13:31. | :13:32. | |
No deal is what happens if you get to the end of the two years | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
and you haven't been able to reach agreement. | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
Extracting the UK from the EU isn't going to be easy, | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
and there's still no real clarity from anyone about what Brexit | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
should or will look like, but it's clear that here | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
as well as in Brussels, the Prime Minister is | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
It's almost a year since the UK voted to leave the European Union, | :13:52. | :13:59. | |
and it's two months since the formal Brexit process was triggered, | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
under Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty governing | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
That means Brexit will take place in March 2019. | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
So, what will the negotiations in Brussels tomorrow involve? | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
Our Europe correspondent Damian Grammaticas explains. | :14:13. | :14:20. | |
Monday morning 11 o'clock Brussels time, at the seventh floor of EU | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
headquarters, the talks that will decide the UK's future finally | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
began, so who are the key players for the UK? David Davis the Brexit | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
secretary takes the lead and for the EU Michel Barnier is the chief | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
negotiator. A former French Foreign Minister has spent months preparing. | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
Meeting Prime Ministers and chancellors across Europe, and also | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
tweeting, he's not averse to self-promotion, and those who know | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
him say he is level-headed but South, and on holiday he said there | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
is a long road ahead. Michel Barnier is a realist, he is calm, I hope the | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
Conservatives will also be calm because that is the best way for | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
negotiations. The EU has laid out its plan and will expect UK to | :15:12. | :15:21. | |
follow it, and the first phase will deal with exit terms, and only if it | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
is satisfied with move to the second phase, the UK's future relationship | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
with the EU. UK wanted trade talks on the start so that the issues are | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
to be focus on first include citizens rights, the rights of EU | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
citizens in the UK and UK citizens in the EU, and financial | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
obligations, how they will be calculating and the Irish border, | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
how to avoid one between North and South. Some in the EU say one thing | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
Michel Barnier will make clear is that the UK's expectation that it | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
can get as good a deal outside the block as inside is not realistic. | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
What is the wishful thinking that you are hearing that you think he | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
will bring down-to-earth? I give you an example. Great Britain decides to | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
get out of the single market and of the customs union, but decides to be | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
in again. I mean, you are out. You are out. Or you are in, you are in. | :16:16. | :16:22. | |
The talks have to be wrapped up by late next year and the timetable is | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
very tight, the issue is very complex. The concern, a logjam in | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
any one area could scupper the whole thing. BBC news, Brussels. | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
Portugal has declared three days of mourning, | :16:38. | :16:39. | |
as the emergency services battle to contain a forest fire which has | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
The blaze took hold in a densely forested region, | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
of the district of Pedrogao Grande, in central Portugal. | :16:49. | :16:50. | |
Many of those who died were trying to escape the flames in their cars. | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
A desperate, sometimes hopeless, battle against nature. | :16:54. | :17:00. | |
Searing heat, strong winds and low humidity - | :17:01. | :17:02. | |
Large areas of central Portugal now ablaze. | :17:03. | :17:10. | |
This mountainous area is no stranger to forest fires, but these are some | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
The speed and ferocity of the flames catching people | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
As the fire rages on several fronts, entire villages have been evacuated. | :17:19. | :17:31. | |
Officials still not sure what remains. | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
TRANSLATION: We were inside the house, the fire was all around us. | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
The firefighters came to get us out because we could | :17:40. | :17:41. | |
As to whether the house burned or not, it must | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
Almost instantly, we saw the fire on the right hand side of the car, | :17:47. | :17:56. | |
and within 15 seconds at the most, the wind that the fire created | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
leapt across to the other side, and within 30 seconds, | :18:01. | :18:02. | |
it was to the right, to the left, to the back of the car. | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
You had no option but to keep driving into the fire. | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
At times, the response has seemed chaotic. | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
Hundreds of firefighters working furiously since yesterday. | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
But some people say they have been left to fend for themselves | :18:16. | :18:17. | |
Thick low-lying clouds of smoke are making it hard for firefighting | :18:18. | :18:25. | |
France and Spain have sent their aircraft to help. | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
As the death toll mounts, the goverment has declared three | :18:32. | :18:33. | |
With no signs of a break in the weather, this battle isn't over. | :18:34. | :18:41. | |
Exit polls in France suggest President Macron's centrist party | :18:42. | :19:02. | |
has won a clear parliamentary majority in the election there. | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
The far-right leader Marine Le Pen has won a parliamentary | :19:06. | :19:07. | |
Projected results say his La Republique En Marche party | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
and allies secured 62% of the 577 seats in the lower house. | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
The Conservative Les Republicains allies 22%. | :19:15. | :19:15. | |
And Marine Le Pen's Front National 1% of the seats. | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
Two months ago, this result would have stunned France, more than 60% | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
of Parliament won by a party that year ago did not even insist. The | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
only surprise today that they didn't win more. Proof of how much Mr | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
Macron and his party have reshaped French politics. TRANSLATION: Today | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
you have given a clear majority to the president and his majority will | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
have the mission to act for France, the majority of French people have | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
preferred to choose hope over anger over optimism over pessimism. And | :19:47. | :19:55. | |
trust over fear. The Front National won just a handful of seats, one of | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
them going to their lead at Marine Le Pen. She will enter the national | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
parliament for the first time. TRANSLATION: In the face of this | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
party and in the face of this beast of the system, we are the only force | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
of resistance to the dilation of France of its social model and its | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
identity -- dilutions. Never before has a French political party won | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
such a stunning majority from scratch, big enough for Mr Macron to | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
push forward with his bold and controversial Labour reforms, big | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
enough even for him to whether the inexperience and diversity of his | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
new MPs. And with around 200 seats shared amongst a divided opposition, | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
some are asking where real political pressure will come from. We must put | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
something on the table and for the moment we have nothing to put on the | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
