:00:00. > :00:08.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt in West London.

:00:09. > :00:10.The desperate search continues to find the missing

:00:11. > :00:21.Over 24 hours on from the blaze, 12 people are known to have died.

:00:22. > :00:27.Dozens more are still unaccounted for.

:00:28. > :00:32.We don't know if they are alive or dead or if they are in hospital or

:00:33. > :00:33.not. The Prime Minister promises a full

:00:34. > :00:36.investigation onto the causes On the ground there's anger that

:00:37. > :00:47.warnings may have been ignored. There will have been people trapped

:00:48. > :00:49.in that tower knowing that the people who were supposed to look

:00:50. > :00:51.after them didn't care about them. Many spend the night in emergency

:00:52. > :00:54.shelters as the community pull together to support people left

:00:55. > :01:07.without homes and basic needs. On Breakfast today: We'll bring

:01:08. > :01:17.you the latest on the fire and we'll be asking how such a tragedy

:01:18. > :01:20.could have struck in the heart Reports in the US that the man

:01:21. > :01:25.investigating Russia's involvement in the American presidential

:01:26. > :01:27.election is looking at whether President Trump attempted

:01:28. > :01:30.to obstruct justice. The days of coming home to a big

:01:31. > :01:34.mobile bill after a European holiday From today roaming charges

:01:35. > :01:44.are being dropped across the EU. In sport, England's hopes of winning

:01:45. > :01:48.the Champions Trophy are over. Eoin Morgan's men were favourites

:01:49. > :01:51.to win the tournament but they were thrashed by Pakistan

:01:52. > :02:03.in their semi-final in Cardiff After eight muggy start it will be

:02:04. > :02:05.fresh with a mix of sunshine and showers. I will have a full forecast

:02:06. > :02:07.in about 15 minutes. I'm in West London where almost 30

:02:08. > :02:17.hours after fire swept through the Grenfell

:02:18. > :02:28.Tower behind me. It is shocking, the devastation. In

:02:29. > :02:33.the front part you can see some of the smoke emerging. You might have

:02:34. > :02:35.seen images last night, it was clear that there were still claims in the

:02:36. > :02:36.building. This morning the search

:02:37. > :02:38.continues for the scores Many questions remain

:02:39. > :02:43.but this is what we do know. Let's take you through some of the

:02:44. > :02:46.details. Police have confirmed

:02:47. > :02:48.12 people dead so far, but that figure is expected

:02:49. > :02:50.to rise significantly. 34 patients remain in hospital

:02:51. > :03:05.and 18 are in critical care. Around the area, many people have

:03:06. > :03:09.tried to help out, giving those caught up in this accommodation and

:03:10. > :03:11.shelter and food and we will have more on that later this morning.

:03:12. > :03:22.The official death toll is expected to rise at even so it is outstripped

:03:23. > :03:27.by the number of the missing. These are some of their faces. Whole

:03:28. > :03:32.families are unaccounted for. Many of them lived on the top floors.

:03:33. > :03:37.This woman was searching local hospitals for her friend and three

:03:38. > :03:42.children. I don't know if they are alive or dead or if they are in

:03:43. > :03:47.hospital or not. Just waiting and hoping. As dusk fell nearly 18 hours

:03:48. > :03:51.after the blaze started there were still pockets of fire in the tower

:03:52. > :03:56.block. The Prime Minister has promised a full enquiry into why so

:03:57. > :04:01.many lives were lost. Of course, once the scene is secure, once the

:04:02. > :04:05.recovery is complete, then investigation will take place into

:04:06. > :04:10.the cause of the fire and if there are any lessons to be learned.

:04:11. > :04:13.Witnesses say the fire spread rapidly, apparently through the new

:04:14. > :04:18.cladding on the outside of the block installed only last year. This fire

:04:19. > :04:25.expert showed how the foam insulation used in some cladding can

:04:26. > :04:28.catch fire. The actual rigid board installation that I believe is most

:04:29. > :04:33.likely to have been used is made from the same material,

:04:34. > :04:37.polyurethanes. I am now setting fire to this and this is the rate at

:04:38. > :04:41.which it earns. That is very, very rapid and this is a typical material

:04:42. > :04:49.used for insulating external buildings. The firm that carried out

:04:50. > :04:53.the refurbishment said it had met all building control fire regulation

:04:54. > :04:59.and health and safety standards. A later statement removed the section

:05:00. > :05:02.about making fire regulations. The government is sufficiently worried

:05:03. > :05:06.to order checks on any tower blocks that have gone through a similar

:05:07. > :05:10.refurbishment. Some residents of Grenfell Tower had to resort to

:05:11. > :05:16.ropes made of blankets and sheets to escape the burning building. There

:05:17. > :05:23.are many questions to be answered - why was there system? Did the fire

:05:24. > :05:28.alarms work? Is the policy the right advice? There are 4000 tower blocks

:05:29. > :05:29.in the UK. This terrible fire will cause a fundamental rethink about

:05:30. > :05:41.the safety of high-rise living. We will address those safety

:05:42. > :05:44.concerns through the programme this morning and try to answer the

:05:45. > :05:48.questions many people have. One of the features of what happened is how

:05:49. > :05:49.quickly the local community and people from further afield

:05:50. > :05:58.volunteered to help. When something as horrific as this

:05:59. > :06:02.happens you either feel despair and hopelessness or you rise above with

:06:03. > :06:06.optimism and a sense of community to come together and support each

:06:07. > :06:09.other. That has been personified here by the community. They have

:06:10. > :06:13.really come out for each other not just by donating what they have in

:06:14. > :06:17.their homes in terms of food and clothing but also being here for the

:06:18. > :06:20.community to provide the moral and spiritual support. We are here to

:06:21. > :06:25.provide aid, tackling food security and providing help with provisions.

:06:26. > :06:29.Blankets and essential resources to support communities - they soon

:06:30. > :06:34.desperately need the support. Me and my son went through the whole house,

:06:35. > :06:40.clothes, trainers, shoes, pyjamas, anything I could find that I don't

:06:41. > :06:42.need that sits there I have packed up and brought down.

:06:43. > :06:47.Those people arriving during the early hours of the morning. And I

:06:48. > :06:55.can tell you arriving here today there are -- is so much equipment,

:06:56. > :06:59.supplies and blankets and as we arrived people told me that there

:07:00. > :07:03.were truckloads arriving in the early hours of the morning and they

:07:04. > :07:07.are kept in storage to help the people who need it most. One of the

:07:08. > :07:09.places where people are getting assistance is the Westway sports

:07:10. > :07:12.centre. We can go now to our

:07:13. > :07:21.correspondent Andy Moore. Yes, this is one of three reception

:07:22. > :07:26.centres set up last night. It is a giant sports hall and you can see

:07:27. > :07:31.Red Cross staff. It is a giant sports hall and mattresses have been

:07:32. > :07:37.laid out on the floor to accommodate some people perhaps from Grenfell

:07:38. > :07:42.Tower block itself but also those people -30 or 40 homes - around the

:07:43. > :07:45.area who were evacuated for fear of the building collapsing or simply

:07:46. > :07:50.because it is too close to Grenfell Tower. We have seen that huge

:07:51. > :07:58.outpouring of generosity from people and just look at the gifts that have

:07:59. > :08:03.been accumulating here in this sports centre. Just down here you

:08:04. > :08:07.can see toothpaste, there are piles of water, there are clothes, and

:08:08. > :08:12.people have been coming from all over the country to donate gifts

:08:13. > :08:18.like this. And also you saw in my report about the missing people.

:08:19. > :08:24.Look at this. This was left on a car overnight. This is someone searching

:08:25. > :08:29.for Marion last seen on the 19th floor with her mother. Somebody very

:08:30. > :08:33.concerned about this missing lady. Some of these people may have been

:08:34. > :08:37.traced by now. There is still a lot of concern about a lot of people,

:08:38. > :08:44.perhaps dozens of people still missing.

:08:45. > :08:47.Thank you very much. We will be investigating those issues around

:08:48. > :08:51.safety concerns. And later on we will speak with the Fire Service to

:08:52. > :08:59.try to get you the latest in connection with the fatalities and

:09:00. > :09:04.casualties. It is so shocking. Look at the smouldering remains. There is

:09:05. > :09:08.still smoke emerging from the building itself. It really is

:09:09. > :09:14.shocking when you see it so close, as we are this morning. We will

:09:15. > :09:18.speak with a fire expert later on to address some of the worries people

:09:19. > :09:20.have about the cladding and other issues. For the moment it is back to

:09:21. > :09:22.the studio. The Met Police has set up

:09:23. > :09:28.an emergency number for anyone Theresa May will meet political

:09:29. > :09:49.parties from Northern Ireland today She'll discuss plans to restore

:09:50. > :09:52.power-sharing at Stormont, and try to ally growing concerns

:09:53. > :09:55.about her attempt to secure the backing of Democratic Unionist

:09:56. > :09:57.MPs in parliament. Chris Mason is our

:09:58. > :10:04.political correspondent. Good morning. This news was put on

:10:05. > :10:07.the backburner yesterday, rightly so, because of events in west

:10:08. > :10:15.London. The question now is about the talks, how tricky they might be.

:10:16. > :10:18.Good morning. Yes, there was sent at Westminster that the focus rightly

:10:19. > :10:26.shouldn't be here yesterday. Nonetheless there are big question

:10:27. > :10:29.is, firstly about the devolved government in Northern Ireland, then

:10:30. > :10:36.of course the broader context, that was a big issue already, the broader

:10:37. > :10:39.context, the deal struck between the Conservatives and the Democratic

:10:40. > :10:43.Unionist Party, which has secured tenancies at Westminster in the

:10:44. > :10:47.general election last week. The question that is being asked by

:10:48. > :10:51.sceptics of the deal, which is yet to be signed off, is can a

:10:52. > :10:55.conservative government with the support of the Democratic Unionist

:10:56. > :10:59.Party remain entirely impartial in matters of Northern Ireland given it

:11:00. > :11:04.will be hooked up with one particular party? Today the Prime

:11:05. > :11:10.Minister is inviting five different parties from Northern Ireland into

:11:11. > :11:13.Downing Street to discuss the restoration of devolved government

:11:14. > :11:17.with some of them making the argument that they are sceptical

:11:18. > :11:20.about that connection with the Democratic Unionist Party.

:11:21. > :11:25.Discussions with the DUP as far as matters at Westminster are concerned

:11:26. > :11:29.continue. We are yet to find out what the deal amounts to. It could

:11:30. > :11:35.be a little while before we do. Indeed. Something else that was

:11:36. > :11:38.timed quite peculiarly was the announcement by Tim Farron that he

:11:39. > :11:43.is stepping down as leader of the Lib Dems and now the question is was

:11:44. > :11:47.he pushed or did he jump? It is a good question because they're as

:11:48. > :11:49.being pressure on Tim Farron with questions during the general

:11:50. > :11:56.election campaign which effectively boiled down to how he squared with

:11:57. > :11:59.being a practising Christian with leading the party with the word

:12:00. > :12:05.liberal in the title, so there were lots of questions about whether or

:12:06. > :12:07.not he thought gay sex was a scene. In the end after repeated

:12:08. > :12:11.questioning in which he ducked giving a straight answer he said no

:12:12. > :12:16.it wasn't. In his resignation yesterday he said he found it

:12:17. > :12:21.impossible to square being a political leader with his religious

:12:22. > :12:25.convictions. As far as the timing is concerned, just a couple of hours

:12:26. > :12:31.before a senior party official, Lord Patek, said he did not want to

:12:32. > :12:37.continue as home affairs spokesman for the Lib Dems because of concerns

:12:38. > :12:41.he had over what Tim Farron had said during the campaign -- Lord Paddock.

:12:42. > :12:44.I remember speaking with a senior Lib Dem after Tim Farron was

:12:45. > :12:49.appointed two years ago who feared that there could be a problem for

:12:50. > :12:54.Tim Farron growing his religious beliefs with party politics and

:12:55. > :12:59.leadership. In the end that fear then has borne out a couple of years

:13:00. > :13:03.later. There will be a leadership race for the Liberal Democrats over

:13:04. > :13:05.the summer. We will speak with a Lib Dem MP later on on that subject.

:13:06. > :13:07.Thank you for the moment. President Trump is being

:13:08. > :13:09.investigated for possible obstruction of justice,

:13:10. > :13:11.according to the Washington Post. If confirmed, the move

:13:12. > :13:14.by Special Counsel Robert Mueller would mark a turning point

:13:15. > :13:16.in the FBI investigation into Russian interference in last

:13:17. > :13:20.year's presidential election. Mr Trump's lawyer has called

:13:21. > :13:23.the leak of information outrageous, Our North America correspondent

:13:24. > :13:38.David Willis sent this report. These latest allegations centre on

:13:39. > :13:42.testimony from the former FBI director James Comey, the man Donald

:13:43. > :13:49.Trump unceremoniously sacked just a month ago. He gave evidence to

:13:50. > :13:52.Congress saying that while he was director of the FBI Mr Trump

:13:53. > :13:56.attempted to persuade him to drop the investigation into his former

:13:57. > :14:01.National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, a man who was forced to

:14:02. > :14:05.resign after it was revealed that he hadn't been wholly truthful about

:14:06. > :14:11.the extent of his contact with the Russian Ambassador. Well, Donald

:14:12. > :14:15.Trump's lawyer has gone on the attack. He said in a statement the

:14:16. > :14:20.FBI leak of information regarding the President is outrageous,

:14:21. > :14:26.inexcusable and illegal. But the very suggestion that the president

:14:27. > :14:31.of the United States could now be under a criminal enquiry is a

:14:32. > :14:33.significant development in this long-running saga.

:14:34. > :14:36.The Ministry of Defence says it's investigating an accident involving

:14:37. > :14:39.a tank on the Castlemartin firing range in South Pembrokeshire.

:14:40. > :14:41.Officials believe a number of people have been injured.

:14:42. > :14:44.Castlemartin is the only UK Army range normally available

:14:45. > :14:49.The British government needs to do more to improve the well-being

:14:50. > :14:52.The international charity has produced a report examining

:14:53. > :14:54.whether the world's richest countries are meeting

:14:55. > :14:55.internationally-agreed goals for young people.

:14:56. > :14:59.It found that while the UK has made progress dealing with teenage

:15:00. > :15:01.pregnancy and underage drinking, concerns remain over the number

:15:02. > :15:11.of children with poor mental health.

:15:12. > :15:14.The days of coming home from a European holiday

:15:15. > :15:17.to a whopping great big mobile phone bill are over.

:15:18. > :15:30.Good morning. Good morning. This is good news for those who like to go

:15:31. > :15:45.abroad to Europe and don't want to pay massive bills for your phone. I

:15:46. > :15:50.turn roaming off so I talk to nobody during it. They are being scrapped

:15:51. > :15:58.for today. Whatever the package deal is in the UK, you will get that

:15:59. > :16:03.whichever EU country you are in. Sorry, a dodgy cold. It means while

:16:04. > :16:21.you in those countries, you will not be charged more than at home. But if

:16:22. > :16:25.you go for data or text-limiting, you will be charged. It will be the

:16:26. > :16:31.same as at home. People are saying, can I get a cheap Spanish provider

:16:32. > :16:37.and use it in the UK? They have a way around that. It has to be the

:16:38. > :16:47.country you use it in most. It is a home deal. UK news use it abroad and

:16:48. > :17:02.not face extra costs. You are talking to a boss later on. What

:17:03. > :17:05.about them asking for free EU roaming in packages? You have to be

:17:06. > :17:10.more wary of ads. Yes, we could see tariffs go up to account for them.

:17:11. > :17:19.Yes. We will talk to you about that later on the end now for the sport.

:17:20. > :17:25.England are having to get used to not being part of the party.

:17:26. > :17:27.The England cricket captain denied there was any complacency

:17:28. > :17:30.from his side, after they were heavily beaten by Pakistan

:17:31. > :17:35.They went into the match undefeated and as heavy favourites,

:17:36. > :17:37.but were comprehensively outplayed by Pakistan who won

:17:38. > :17:44.They will play either Bangladesh or India in Sunday's final.

:17:45. > :17:46.Southampton have sacked manager Claude Puel.

:17:47. > :17:49.That's despite the Frenchman leading them to the League Cup final

:17:50. > :17:52.and securing a respectable eighth place finish in the Premier League.

:17:53. > :17:59.Puel only joined the Saints a year ago.

:18:00. > :18:02.Manchester United have confirmed the signing of Swedish defender

:18:03. > :18:04.Victor Lindelof from Benfica on a four-year deal.

:18:05. > :18:08.The fee for the 22-year-old is thought to be around ?30 million.

:18:09. > :18:10.And it's been confirmed that the former boxing world

:18:11. > :18:13.champion at five different weights, Floyd Mayweather, will take

:18:14. > :18:14.on the Ulitmate fighting lightweight champion,

:18:15. > :18:18.They'll meet in a bout under normal boxing rules in Las Vegas

:18:19. > :18:42.So, McGregor will have to rein it in. In ultimate fighting they can do

:18:43. > :18:51.anything. This is boxing. The weather. It has been glorious so

:18:52. > :18:55.far this week. Will it continue? We have more summer sunshine in the

:18:56. > :19:00.forecast. A muggy night. Through the day, it will turn more fresh.

:19:01. > :19:05.Sunshine and scattered showers in some parts of the country as well.

:19:06. > :19:09.Today, a cold front working in from the west. A fairly weak front moving

:19:10. > :19:15.east but introducing more fresh air coming in off the Atlantic. That

:19:16. > :19:18.front brings a band of cloud and drizzly rain in Scotland and Wales

:19:19. > :19:24.and down towards the south-west of Wales first thing edging east across

:19:25. > :19:29.the country for today. Any country will have a peter off towards the

:19:30. > :19:34.south-east. Scattered showers in the north-west. Remaining dry for

:19:35. > :19:41.Cornwall, Devon as well. Not as warm as yesterday. 17-18. Pleasant.

:19:42. > :19:45.Temperatures in eastern England, 24. It will feel more fresh during the

:19:46. > :19:49.afternoon when the front moves through. Northern England. One or

:19:50. > :19:55.two showers breaking through the afternoon. Still some sunshine.

:19:56. > :19:59.Scotland, the afternoon, scattered showers. Some could be quite sharp

:20:00. > :20:03.and heavy with gusting winds at times as well. Northern Ireland,

:20:04. > :20:08.blustery showers this afternoon. Temperatures in the mid- and

:20:09. > :20:14.possibly high teens. In Wales, lots to come through. One or two showers

:20:15. > :20:19.towards the north. Not a bad day to come. Showers in northern areas fade

:20:20. > :20:23.away through the evening. Largely dry this evening and overnight for

:20:24. > :20:27.many parts of the country. And with that fresh air around, it will be

:20:28. > :20:33.more comfortable. This coming night, lows of around 12-13. Five degrees

:20:34. > :20:36.cooler than it is this morning. Tomorrow, cloud and outbreaks of

:20:37. > :20:41.rain across parts of western Scotland in particular. Elsewhere,

:20:42. > :20:50.dry weather coming through the day to borrow. Warming up the

:20:51. > :20:55.temperatures on a key upward trend. The weekend. High pressure moves in

:20:56. > :21:01.from the south. We will see warm air coming through Saturday. Rain for

:21:02. > :21:05.the west and north-west of Scotland. Elsewhere, a dry day to come. Light

:21:06. > :21:13.winds. Temperatures on Saturday likely to reach 28 degrees in sunny

:21:14. > :21:17.spots. Even warmer by Sunday. There will still be rain in the final

:21:18. > :21:21.plots of Scotland. Elsewhere, dry. We are likely to see 30 degrees by

:21:22. > :21:24.Sunday. For now, it is back to Charlie.

:21:25. > :21:37.Welcome back. We are in the shadow of the devastating fire at this

:21:38. > :21:45.tower. There is still smoke rising against the blue sky behind it. A

:21:46. > :21:52.shocking scene this morning. What is amazing is all of the people coming

:21:53. > :22:05.down the offer assistance. You can see people bringing water and food.

:22:06. > :22:08.There are huge piles of duvets and blankets people have brought in

:22:09. > :22:09.overnight for those left homeless. Graham Satchell spend some time with

:22:10. > :22:20.those keen to help. On the street, people reliving

:22:21. > :22:25.the stuff of nightmares, the horror of seeing people jump,

:22:26. > :22:28.seeing them trapped at windows. It was terrible because I saw people

:22:29. > :22:32.at the top floor moving around, screaming for help and before

:22:33. > :22:35.you knew it the fire just Some of those missing

:22:36. > :22:40.have now been identified including 12-year-old Jessica

:22:41. > :22:44.who lived on the 20th floor. We met Sophie, 11, one

:22:45. > :22:47.of her school friends. It is horrible for me to hear

:22:48. > :23:02.that they are missing or dead The grief is very

:23:03. > :23:07.public as some received But with the grief, a truly

:23:08. > :23:09.heartwarming response. Everyone seemed to be carrying

:23:10. > :23:12.bags and boxes of water, Churches, mosques and community

:23:13. > :23:15.centres inundated with We just got stuck in and it

:23:16. > :23:27.has been fantastic. This was a spontaneous response

:23:28. > :23:40.but as the day wore on, a sense of anger that the local

:23:41. > :23:42.authority was nowhere It is just the community

:23:43. > :23:46.doing it by themselves. There is growing anger

:23:47. > :23:49.as well about the fire, anger that poor people

:23:50. > :23:52.in a council-owned block could have perished and anger that

:23:53. > :23:58.warnings were ignored. There is no way that that fire

:23:59. > :24:02.should spread that quickly We went with residents and said that

:24:03. > :24:10.someone needs to look at it. David Collins says concerns

:24:11. > :24:12.he raised about fire safety People trapped in a tower knowing

:24:13. > :24:19.that the people who were supposed to look after them did

:24:20. > :24:21.not care about them. Debris is everywhere on the ground

:24:22. > :24:26.here as questions hang in the air. How could this fire have spread

:24:27. > :24:52.so quickly and why did so many die? Those are the questions so many

:24:53. > :24:57.people in the area are asking. Graham Fieldhouse is a fire-safety

:24:58. > :25:06.expert, and joins me now. Good morning. First of all, many

:25:07. > :25:13.people are asking the same question. The speed of the fire took off. What

:25:14. > :25:18.are your experts telling you about that? It is unusual. We haven't seen

:25:19. > :25:23.a fire takes hold of the external part of a building. When we think

:25:24. > :25:34.about fires, we look at the internal not the external. One of the issues

:25:35. > :25:38.that came out of Lakmal was some of the external assisting the fire.

:25:39. > :25:45.Enquiries were made into that and reports were done. We have another

:25:46. > :25:51.enquiry. We want one that will put things forward that are helpful for

:25:52. > :26:00.the future so we don't have to go through interviews like this again.

:26:01. > :26:05.We need a full enquiry to determine what people knew about the product

:26:06. > :26:13.put in. What specification was for the product? What about the people

:26:14. > :26:18.looking at the certification? What was specified to be put in the

:26:19. > :26:25.property? And the fire doors! One of the interviews yesterday said the

:26:26. > :26:41.corridors were very quickly smoke-locked. Can I just tell the

:26:42. > :26:51.viewers, but there is a lot of debris around. It is really flaky

:26:52. > :27:04.and charred. It is probably the clagging. It will be interesting to

:27:05. > :27:10.find out. This clearly burned in the ferocious fire. It is worth saying

:27:11. > :27:13.even as we are standing here there is a fine layer of dust. You cannot

:27:14. > :30:36.see I'm in West London, where more

:30:37. > :30:54.than 24 hours after fire swept through the Grenfell Tower

:30:55. > :31:08.behind me, you can still see smoke And it is interesting, you can see a

:31:09. > :31:12.little more smoke emerging from this side of the building but it is

:31:13. > :31:18.really shocking to see the remains of the 27 story building behind me.

:31:19. > :31:20.Let's take you through the details of what's happening this morning.

:31:21. > :31:22.Police have confirmed 12 people dead so far,

:31:23. > :31:29.but that figure is expected to rise significantly.

:31:30. > :31:31.In terms of those getting at tension and care:

:31:32. > :31:44.34 patients remain in hospital and 18 are in critical care.

:31:45. > :31:46.Many families from the Grenfell Tower

:31:47. > :31:48.and surrounding buildings have spent the night in emergency accommodation

:31:49. > :31:59.When something as horrific as this happens, you either feel despair at

:32:00. > :32:03.and hopelessness or you rise above with optimism and positivity to

:32:04. > :32:08.support each other. That has been personified

:32:09. > :32:10.here by the community. They have really come out for each

:32:11. > :32:13.other not just by donating what they have in their homes

:32:14. > :32:16.in terms of food and clothing but also being here for

:32:17. > :32:20.the community to provide the moral We are here to provide aid,

:32:21. > :32:25.tackling food security and providing help with provisions,

:32:26. > :32:29.blankets and essential resources to support communities that

:32:30. > :32:31.so desperately need the support. Me and my son went through the whole

:32:32. > :32:34.house, clothes, trainers, shoes, pyjamas, anything

:32:35. > :32:39.I could find that I don't need that sits there I have bagged

:32:40. > :32:49.up and brought down. This is a tightly packed residential

:32:50. > :32:53.area and wherever you go people have left signs saying help yourself,

:32:54. > :33:01.there is water and other supplies as well. Alongside the very real anger

:33:02. > :33:05.is emerging more and more. Many people have come along to help those

:33:06. > :33:10.families who are without a home temporarily. Andy Moore is at the

:33:11. > :33:14.Westway Sport Centre just a short distance from where we are now,

:33:15. > :33:22.where some of those people are being helped. Yes, hello, we are

:33:23. > :33:26.underneath the Westway, the road above us, and we are at this

:33:27. > :33:29.basketball court, together with donations, these bags given to

:33:30. > :33:32.people who have lost everything, they are just here and they are

:33:33. > :33:38.being sorted out into various piles that might be useful for the various

:33:39. > :33:41.people. So, we can see over the back some girls clothes, then it would

:33:42. > :33:46.come around over here there are children's toys, over the far side,

:33:47. > :33:49.and then you can see all of these shoes, this is just an example of

:33:50. > :33:57.the generosity that people are bringing along, these gifts for

:33:58. > :34:01.people who have lost their homes and everything in them. Some of those

:34:02. > :34:05.people have stayed in the sports centre over the back, a huge sports

:34:06. > :34:10.hall where mattresses were laid out on the floor and we understand quite

:34:11. > :34:15.a few people were saying their overnight. Some of them were from

:34:16. > :34:20.the tower block itself, others were from the homes around that had been

:34:21. > :34:24.evacuated because of the danger, because they were too close to

:34:25. > :34:29.Grenfell Tower and there are three emergency centres we understand that

:34:30. > :34:34.have been set up. I talked earlier on about people who are missing. We

:34:35. > :34:42.have seen notices posted up with photos of various people put on

:34:43. > :34:45.cars. A lot of people posting these notices trying to find loved ones

:34:46. > :34:52.and it seems dozens are missing and unaccounted for. Thanks very much

:34:53. > :34:56.for that. We will be spending more time with volunteers and those

:34:57. > :35:01.involved in the process. So many people coming down. We were told

:35:02. > :35:04.there were people arriving in the early hours of the morning with

:35:05. > :35:08.truckloads of materials to try to help people. More of that later and

:35:09. > :35:12.we have the latest updates from the Fire Service about the casualties

:35:13. > :35:15.and exactly what the situation is with the building itself as we can

:35:16. > :35:22.see. This morning there is still smoke emerging and late last night

:35:23. > :35:26.in the darkness you could still see the flames and we will have an

:35:27. > :35:28.update a little later on but for the moment it is back to the studio.

:35:29. > :35:31.Thank you. The Met Police has set up

:35:32. > :35:34.an emergency number for anyone Theresa May will meet political

:35:35. > :35:51.parties from Northern Ireland today She'll discuss plans to restore

:35:52. > :35:54.power-sharing at Stormont, and try to allay growing concerns

:35:55. > :35:57.about her attempt to secure the backing of Democratic Unionist

:35:58. > :36:08.MPs in parliament. Meanwhile, Tim Farron says he is

:36:09. > :36:11.stepping down as leader of the Liberal Democrats because he feels

:36:12. > :36:14.torn between his Christian faith and his political duties.

:36:15. > :36:16.During the campaign he was repeatedly asked

:36:17. > :36:20.Mr Farron will stay on as leader until Parliament goes

:36:21. > :36:23.President Trump is being investigated for possible

:36:24. > :36:25.obstruction of justice, according to the Washington Post.

:36:26. > :36:28.If confirmed, the move by Special Counsel Robert Mueller

:36:29. > :36:30.would mark a turning point in the FBI investigation

:36:31. > :36:32.into Russian interference in last year's presidential election.

:36:33. > :36:35.Mr Trump's lawyer has called the leak of information outrageous,

:36:36. > :36:50.Those are the top stories for you and we will keep you up-to-date with

:36:51. > :36:55.the fire at Grenfell Tower in West London through the morning. It is

:36:56. > :36:59.time to turn to the sport with Mike, and not a great result to begin

:37:00. > :37:06.with. Congratulations to Pakistani. Great result for Pakistan. And it

:37:07. > :37:15.could be Pakistan- India a game. They could play in the final --

:37:16. > :37:18.again. A lot of head scratching for England as they have been building

:37:19. > :37:23.up to the tournament for two years, strong favourites to get to the

:37:24. > :37:27.final at least. What happened? In cricket, there is a fine line

:37:28. > :37:31.between success and failure. It can take just a couple of overs and the

:37:32. > :37:34.momentum changes. And the batsmen didn't perform too. Were they

:37:35. > :37:36.complacent? England's cricketers are out

:37:37. > :37:40.of the Champions Trophy, after a crushing defeat to Pakistan

:37:41. > :37:42.in their semi-final. Eoin Morgan's side had been

:37:43. > :37:45.the favourite for the tournament, but struggled on a slow

:37:46. > :37:49.pitch in Cardiff. Jonny Bairstow, who came

:37:50. > :37:52.into the side, hit 43, but wickets tumbled quickly,

:37:53. > :37:54.including Ben Stokes, who went for 34, without

:37:55. > :37:58.hitting a single boundary. England made just 211,

:37:59. > :38:00.which Pakistan knocked off They play either India or Bangladesh

:38:01. > :38:06.in Sunday's final at The Oval. Morgan denied his team

:38:07. > :38:19.had been complacent. We played against some really good

:38:20. > :38:23.sides the recently and we have managed to beat them. That hasn't

:38:24. > :38:32.gone into our heads at all. In today's gang, going in knowing we

:38:33. > :38:34.would play on a used cricket brought Pakistan's gang closer to home --

:38:35. > :38:35.game. Southampton are looking

:38:36. > :38:38.for a new manager, after sacking The Frenchman had

:38:39. > :38:42.spent just one season at St Mary's, but during that

:38:43. > :38:45.time guided the Saints to the League Cup Final,

:38:46. > :38:48.where they were narrowly beaten by Manchester United,

:38:49. > :38:50.and he helped them to finish a respectable eighth

:38:51. > :38:52.in the Premier League. It's been confirmed that the former

:38:53. > :38:55.boxing world champion at five different weights, Floyd Mayweather,

:38:56. > :38:58.will fight the Ultimate Fighting They will meet in a bout

:38:59. > :39:03.in Las Vegas on the 26th of August. 40-year-old Mayweather retired

:39:04. > :39:05.undefeated after winning his 49th straight bout in September 2015,

:39:06. > :39:07.while the 29-year-old Irishman McGregor is the first

:39:08. > :39:10.fighter in the UFC to have held two belts but has never

:39:11. > :39:12.boxed professionally. The contest will take place under

:39:13. > :39:15.normal boxing rules so Mcgregor will have to limit himself

:39:16. > :39:31.to the noble art of just punching. No kicking all getting on the floor,

:39:32. > :39:36.he will just have to stick to punching.

:39:37. > :39:39.Warren Gatland has named Lions team for Saturday's warm-up game and says

:39:40. > :39:43.he's going to keep the All Blacks guessing ahead of their first

:39:44. > :39:46.Johnny Sexton has been preferred to Owen Farrell at fly half

:39:47. > :39:59.for the Lions' clash with the Maori All Blacks in Rotorua.

:40:00. > :40:02.The US Open golf gets under way in Wisconsin this afternoon.

:40:03. > :40:05.Much of the pre-tournament talk has been about the punishing rough,

:40:06. > :40:11.with long grass surrounding many of the fairways.

:40:12. > :40:14.Organisers took the unusual step of cutting some of it back,

:40:15. > :40:28.We have 60 yards from left alone to write line - you have got 156

:40:29. > :40:33.players of the best in the world, if we can't hit it in that avenue we

:40:34. > :40:38.may as well pack our bags and go home -- right. At no, the US Open,

:40:39. > :40:42.supposed to be a tough test and guy Leigh can't play within a 50 yard

:40:43. > :40:45.zone, I don't think they have much to complain about.

:40:46. > :40:50.For most players are ruffled, up to their knees but for me I would

:40:51. > :40:54.struggle to see over the top. It would be over our shoulders,

:40:55. > :41:04.wouldn't it? And the longest course in US Open history. It will be fun

:41:05. > :41:06.to watch. I think so. You. Sarah will bring you up-to-date with the

:41:07. > :41:08.weather for the week ahead shortly. We now know that at least 12 people

:41:09. > :41:12.have died as a result of the fire The cause remains unknown

:41:13. > :41:15.but questions are already being asked about how this

:41:16. > :41:18.could have happened. In 2009 three women and three

:41:19. > :41:21.children were killed in a fire Southwark Council pleaded guilty

:41:22. > :41:26.to four charges relating to safety breaches and lessons were supposed

:41:27. > :41:28.to have been learnt. Professor Kurt Barling

:41:29. > :41:39.is a journalist who investigated the Southwark fire

:41:40. > :41:41.almost eight years ago, and joins me from our

:41:42. > :41:50.London studio. Thank you for joining us. Can you

:41:51. > :41:55.remind us what happened the Lakanal House fire in 2009? It was a

:41:56. > :42:00.terrible incident at Lakanal House, as you said. Six people died. It was

:42:01. > :42:05.a fire which took over effectively a whole block in south London. Of

:42:06. > :42:08.course, there were many lessons at the time that were said to be

:42:09. > :42:13.learnt. Let me run you through a list of what the inquest into the

:42:14. > :42:17.fire said in 2013 in terms of the main questions that needed to be

:42:18. > :42:20.addressed. Why the fire spread so quickly, should there have been

:42:21. > :42:27.alarmed and sprinklers, did renovation affect safety, was the

:42:28. > :42:32.advice to stay put right and what were the implications for other

:42:33. > :42:35.buildings? What is tragic today is that exactly the same questions are

:42:36. > :42:41.being asked about this fire yesterday. Frankly, it can be

:42:42. > :42:45.described as nothing short of a national scandal that this has been

:42:46. > :42:50.allowed to happen again. After an inquest which looked at so much

:42:51. > :42:54.evidence over 11 weeks in 2013 in Lakanal House, nothing short of a

:42:55. > :42:59.public enquiry will get to the problem of what the problem is with

:43:00. > :43:04.these tower blocks and keeping people safe. There has been a report

:43:05. > :43:09.in plan in government to look at the safety issues, to look at where the

:43:10. > :43:14.sprinklers should be put in place, to look at how when a fire takes

:43:15. > :43:17.place, it should be contained. Why hasn't this moved on, why haven't we

:43:18. > :43:22.seen developments? There are lots of people in the fire safety business

:43:23. > :43:26.who say that the department of communities and the government have

:43:27. > :43:32.dragged their feet. It has to be said, four years on from a really

:43:33. > :43:37.important inquest into a really tragic fire in which six people lost

:43:38. > :43:43.their lives, the same questions being asked - people are right to

:43:44. > :43:47.ask why nothing has been done substantially to prevent this

:43:48. > :43:51.happening again. You see, we have all seen, pictures of the fire

:43:52. > :43:56.yesterday. We have seen how quickly the fire spread. On the 10pm news

:43:57. > :44:02.last night you could still see the glowing fire. That is 22 hours after

:44:03. > :44:05.the fire started. You have to ask yourself the question, the public

:44:06. > :44:10.authorities have a principal responsibility to protect life, to

:44:11. > :44:15.protect the citizen. Clearly this building has failed and the systems

:44:16. > :44:21.put in place to prevent fire in tower blocks has failed too. The

:44:22. > :44:26.evidence is there for all of us to see. The time for talking is over.

:44:27. > :44:31.The time for action has started. Thank you very much for joining us

:44:32. > :44:37.this morning on Breakfast. The time now is coming up to 6:45am and of

:44:38. > :44:40.course the Grenfell Tower fire is the top story this morning and the

:44:41. > :44:44.search continues for dozens of missing people after the London

:44:45. > :44:49.tower block fire which has so far claimed 12 lives. And anger is

:44:50. > :44:53.growing over whether safety concerns were ignored. The Prime Minister has

:44:54. > :45:04.promised a full investigation into why the blaze spread so quickly.

:45:05. > :45:23.We are in West London keeping you up-to-date on that all day. Bye for

:45:24. > :45:33.now, the weather. Is the warm weather going to last? Yes. It will

:45:34. > :45:39.turn hot. For today, after the muggy start, more fresh. A respite in heat

:45:40. > :45:43.and humidity. A fresh feel developing with sunshine and

:45:44. > :45:47.scattered showers. Fresh weather will be drawn in by this weather

:45:48. > :45:56.front heading in from the west. That is introducing that Atlantic in it.

:45:57. > :46:01.Scattered showers. This band of cloud is going east across much of

:46:02. > :46:06.the country. Rainfall disappearing by the time it gets to eastern

:46:07. > :46:12.England. By this afternoon, sunshine and some of us will see scattered

:46:13. > :46:17.showers. Remaining dry across the south-west of England. Not as warm

:46:18. > :46:24.as yesterday. A pleasant day. 17-18. Temperatures around 24 in East

:46:25. > :46:28.Anglia and the south-east. More fresh and less humid during the

:46:29. > :46:30.afternoon with sunshine. Scattered showers developing in parts of

:46:31. > :46:35.northern England, especially the north-west. Scotland as well.

:46:36. > :46:42.Frequent showers by this afternoon. Sunshine in between. The odd sharp

:46:43. > :46:45.shower and thunder around. Show Northern Ireland will be heavy at

:46:46. > :46:52.times and blustery as well with gusty winds. Equally, dry weather.

:46:53. > :46:58.Wales. Showers in the north. Much of Wales a king dry and bright. --

:46:59. > :47:03.looking. Showers easing the way for a time to be showery rain continuing

:47:04. > :47:07.in the far north-west overnight. More dry and comfortable for

:47:08. > :47:14.sleeping. Overnight, temperatures down to 12 - 14. Five degrees lower

:47:15. > :47:19.than this morning first thing. The next morning, dry and settled.

:47:20. > :47:23.Outbreaks of rain in Northern Ireland initially entered the

:47:24. > :47:31.Scotland as well. Elsewhere, dry and fine. 23- 24. High pressure holding

:47:32. > :47:39.on through Friday night and the weekend. That sets the scene for a

:47:40. > :47:43.warm and largely dry weekend. Blustery winds in the north.

:47:44. > :47:49.Elsewhere, warm and dry up 28 degrees on Saturday. Sunday, wet

:47:50. > :47:54.weather in the far north-west. Elsewhere, dry and pretty hot. By

:47:55. > :47:58.the time it hits Sunday, it could be dirty degrees. Those are colossal

:47:59. > :48:04.temperatures! -- 30 degrees. The days of bringing back a massive

:48:05. > :48:08.mobile bill from a European holiday From today roaming charges

:48:09. > :48:19.are being dropped across the EU. This is good news for anyone who

:48:20. > :48:21.wants to use their phone abroad but is worried about costs in the EU.

:48:22. > :48:25.New rules come into force today which mean if you travel to an EU

:48:26. > :48:28.country and use your mobile phone you'll be charged the same

:48:29. > :48:34.And you won't be hit with extra charges for making calls,

:48:35. > :48:36.sending texts, or using data on-line, as long as it's

:48:37. > :48:41.These new rules have been a long time in the making,

:48:42. > :48:44.after years of complaints that customers have been getting ripped

:48:45. > :48:48.Dave Dysone is the Chief Executive of the mobile network,

:48:49. > :48:59.Good morning to you. Good morning. What are the caveats? Today is a big

:49:00. > :49:05.day for everyone, including mobile operators. They have been told they

:49:53. > :49:57.roaming charges in several countries several years ago. Have you had to

:49:58. > :50:04.increase tariffs? You have lost revenue. We have not. We have

:50:05. > :50:08.offered this for a long time. The approach to this has been first of

:50:09. > :50:14.all research where customers travel overseas the most. We talked to

:50:15. > :50:19.overseas operators whose networks customers go to. We negotiate prices

:50:20. > :50:24.and pass those on to customers. Right now, we have 60 destinations

:50:25. > :50:30.that are included including Europe and countries outside of it, popular

:50:31. > :50:39.destinations like the USA, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand.

:50:40. > :50:46.That means we don't have to put prices up. You did put prices up by

:52:30. > :52:33.coverage of that. But we also wanted to bring

:52:34. > :52:36.you something else this morning. It's a story that might bring

:52:37. > :52:39.a smile to your face. As part of the BBC's Music Day,

:52:40. > :52:42.we wanted to show you one project that's making a difference

:53:15. > :53:19.it is becoming a regular event. Since last July, professional

:53:20. > :53:31.musicians have been brought into play for patients. And it is easy to

:53:32. > :53:36.see the sheer joy it brings. I found myself in an intensive care unit,

:53:37. > :53:43.and I found that experience quite traumatising. It was the idea of

:53:44. > :53:52.Helen especially Taylor. She had only a TV set. I felt alive again.

:53:53. > :53:57.It was transformative. I did not think about my condition, I did not

:53:58. > :54:01.feel any pain. It was quite incredible how they helped me. It

:54:02. > :54:04.was all I could talk about when I left the hospital. Already a

:54:05. > :54:11.volunteer for music in hospitals, she decided to set up ICUHere, to

:54:12. > :54:21.take music into intensive care units. It has proven a big hit. It

:54:22. > :54:31.is soothing. It is good for you. It is making a difference. I don't want

:54:32. > :54:38.to stereotype you, but you are a motorcycle rider and you have

:54:39. > :54:48.tattoos, do you like hard rock? No. And the staff approved of the

:54:49. > :54:59.musical companies. It is relaxing and helps. The day after terror

:55:00. > :55:07.attacks, she helped out in the way she could, by playing in intensive

:55:08. > :55:12.care. I know this can be quite settling for the staff. Sometimes

:55:13. > :55:16.they come it is they need. I come in if it is appropriate. One of the

:55:17. > :55:24.nurses said it was a horrible week and it is just what they needed. And

:02:18. > :02:24.30 hours after fire swept through the Grenfell Tower

:02:25. > :02:27.behind me, you can still see smoke rising from the building

:02:41. > :02:46.shocking the image is of the charred remains of the 24 story building and

:02:47. > :02:48.let me take you through the latest information we have in terms of the

:02:49. > :02:50.fatalities and casualties. Police have confirmed

:02:51. > :02:52.12 people dead so far, but that figure is expected

:02:53. > :02:55.to rise significantly. 34 patients remain in hospital

:02:56. > :03:08.and 18 are in critical care. Now, what we know locally is so many

:03:09. > :03:12.people have gathered around to bring help and offer accommodation and

:03:13. > :03:14.shelter to those who have been caught up in this. Andy Moore has

:03:15. > :03:17.the latest. The official death toll

:03:18. > :03:20.is expected to rise, but even so it;s outstripped

:03:21. > :03:23.by the number of the missing. Many of them lived

:03:24. > :03:30.on the top floors. This woman was searching local

:03:34. > :03:41.or dead or if they're As dusk fell nearly 18 hours

:03:42. > :03:50.after the blaze started, there were still pockets of fire

:03:51. > :03:54.inside the tower block. The Prime Minister has promised

:03:55. > :03:57.there would be a full enquiry Of course, once the scene is secure,

:03:58. > :04:02.once the recovery is complete, then an investigation will take

:04:03. > :04:05.place into the cause of the fire and if there are any

:04:06. > :04:10.lessons to be learned. Witnesses say the fire

:04:11. > :04:14.spread rapidly, apparently through the new cladding

:04:15. > :04:16.on the outside of the block This fire expert showed how the foam

:04:17. > :04:20.insulation used in some cladding The actual rigid-board installation

:04:21. > :04:27.that I believe is most likely to have been used is made

:04:28. > :04:29.from the same material, I'm now setting fire to this

:04:30. > :04:35.and this is the rate That is very, very rapid and this

:04:36. > :04:39.is a typical material used The firm that carried out

:04:40. > :04:51.the refurbishment said it had met all building control fire regulation

:04:52. > :04:54.and health and safety standards. A later statement removed

:04:55. > :04:56.the section about meeting fire The government is sufficiently

:04:57. > :05:01.worried to order checks on any tower blocks that have gone

:05:02. > :05:03.through a similar refurbishment. Some residents of Grenfell Tower had

:05:04. > :05:07.to resort to ropes made of blankets and sheets to escape

:05:08. > :05:18.the burning building. There are many questions to be

:05:19. > :05:21.answered: Why wasn't Is the statehood policy

:05:22. > :05:25.the right advice? There are 4000 tower

:05:26. > :05:27.blocks in the UK. This terrible fire will cause

:05:28. > :05:30.a fundamental rethink about the safety

:05:31. > :05:43.of high-rise living. Later on, we will be discussing some

:05:44. > :05:47.of those questions that have been asked and it is definitely true that

:05:48. > :05:50.there is a growing sense of anger locally about how this building was

:05:51. > :05:55.built and we will be addressing some of those issues later on but walking

:05:56. > :06:00.around here, as you walk around the busy buildup area, everywhere you

:06:01. > :06:03.walk you see little signs on walls offering people assistance, bottles

:06:04. > :06:08.of water, please yourself. Just around the corner from where we are

:06:09. > :06:15.is the Westway Sport Centre, that is where many families are being helped

:06:16. > :06:18.and Andy is here for us now. Yes, good morning, Charlie. I am

:06:19. > :06:23.actually on a basketball court that has been turned into a clearing

:06:24. > :06:27.space for some of the donations. Just look over my shoulder. Lots of

:06:28. > :06:31.clothing, women's clothing has been piled up and sorted out, and on the

:06:32. > :06:37.other side of defence you can see hundreds of water bottles that have

:06:38. > :06:44.been provided. -- defence. A huge outpouring of generosity. One of

:06:45. > :06:50.them is this man from the Sikh welfare - what have you been able to

:06:51. > :06:55.do? We came here early in the day yesterday, we brought a van full of

:06:56. > :07:00.water, clothing, food, and other essentials that we thought we needed

:07:01. > :07:06.here, so we were here yesterday with volunteers. What made you come down?

:07:07. > :07:11.It is on our doorstep and when something like this happens, you

:07:12. > :07:16.want to see if you can do anything. When we came, there was mayhem,

:07:17. > :07:20.people running around trying to get anything they can to find out - you

:07:21. > :07:26.know, they are putting up people's names that they have lost, has

:07:27. > :07:30.anyone seen them, so if we could help one person it is a different.

:07:31. > :07:36.As we look around we can see piles of donations - what is needed now,

:07:37. > :07:39.is more still needed? I don't think we need more clothing, I think we

:07:40. > :07:44.need more essentials. I think first of all we need to try to rehouse

:07:45. > :07:49.these people. There are empty houses in London. There must be somewhere

:07:50. > :07:53.to rehouse these people. Once all of this razzmatazz is finished, that is

:07:54. > :07:58.when the work will start. Where are people going to go after this? They

:07:59. > :08:01.have lost people, people have died, so they need to start trying to

:08:02. > :08:07.rebuild this life that they have lost. Thank you very much. The

:08:08. > :08:13.message perhaps an off donations, cash donations might be more useful

:08:14. > :08:17.now. Charlie. Thank you very much. So, we will

:08:18. > :08:21.pick up on some of those issues many locally are raising, the safety

:08:22. > :08:27.issues on the cladding and about how the fire spread, we will speak with

:08:28. > :08:31.a chartered surveyor, someone who knows the building well. And we will

:08:32. > :08:36.speak with the Fire Service to update everyone on the situation,

:08:37. > :08:40.including the fire officers who were involved in the heroics as they

:08:41. > :08:43.tried to get people out of the blaze. For the moment, though, from

:08:44. > :08:45.here it is back to the studio. Thank you.

:08:46. > :08:48.The Met Police has set up an emergency number for anyone

:08:49. > :08:59.Let's get some reaction from Westminster on the tragic

:09:00. > :09:09.Our political correspondent Chris Mason joins us.

:09:10. > :09:17.Unsurprisingly, there are questions about safety now being asked. Labour

:09:18. > :09:21.is asking the questions, we are asking these questions. What is the

:09:22. > :09:25.governments reaction to this? The striking things politically about

:09:26. > :09:30.this is that yet again politics had to pause yesterday, yet again

:09:31. > :09:35.politicians have been reflecting on the incredible work of the emergency

:09:36. > :09:38.services. And then of course the question to come in the direction of

:09:39. > :09:43.Westminster and political leaders about what they have done up until

:09:44. > :09:47.now and what they can do in the future. So there was agreement as

:09:48. > :09:53.you would expect from politicians about the scale of the horror and

:09:54. > :09:59.how horrendous that was, and also the work of the emergency services.

:10:00. > :10:01.And then Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour leader, pressing specifically on

:10:02. > :10:08.funding for local government, and whether cutbacks in funding may have

:10:09. > :10:12.had... May have been a contributing factor. The other question on the

:10:13. > :10:17.specifics relates to a review of regulations into fire safety that

:10:18. > :10:22.was promised by the government, in fact, promised by the man who is now

:10:23. > :10:26.the chief of staff to the Prime Minister, Gavin Barwell, a former

:10:27. > :10:29.Housing Minister. There have been suggestions from somebody doesn't

:10:30. > :10:33.come along because the government was keen on cutting back on

:10:34. > :10:39.regulations and red tape rather than adding to them. The line from the

:10:40. > :10:42.government department responsible, the Department for Communities and

:10:43. > :10:47.Local Government, is they are still looking at the review of existing

:10:48. > :10:51.regulations. There has been no attempt to prevent them from being

:10:52. > :10:55.published. Those questions remain and we will talk about that later on

:10:56. > :11:00.as well on Breakfast. There is politics going on as well. There is

:11:01. > :11:03.a government to be formed by Theresa May in terms of a majority

:11:04. > :11:10.government. And there has been a resignation? Yes, so, plenty of

:11:11. > :11:13.politics, something of a pause button for obvious reasons

:11:14. > :11:18.yesterday, though not entirely, given what went on last week in the

:11:19. > :11:22.general election. What is happening today is the Prime Minister is

:11:23. > :11:28.inviting in five political parties from Northern Ireland, all of this

:11:29. > :11:31.trying to ensure that devolved government can return to Northern

:11:32. > :11:35.Ireland after the collapse of that earlier this year. That is a big

:11:36. > :11:39.deal of itself but it is complicated by the fact that the Conservatives

:11:40. > :11:45.are also talking to Northern Ireland's UUP about a deal to ensure

:11:46. > :11:51.Theresa May can be propped up in Downing Street -- DUP. And some feel

:11:52. > :11:55.that deal cannot mean the government can be impartial about matters

:11:56. > :11:59.relating to Northern Ireland. And Tim Farron, leader of the Lib Dems,

:12:00. > :12:03.is resigning. He says he doesn't feel that he can combine his

:12:04. > :12:08.committed Christianity with leading the Liberal Democrats. Lots of

:12:09. > :12:11.difficult questions for him on that during the campaign and the Liberal

:12:12. > :12:15.Democrats didn't make a vast amount of progress in the general election

:12:16. > :12:20.either. He will stand down in month and there will be a leadership race

:12:21. > :12:22.over the summer. Thank you very much for the moment.

:13:05. > :13:09.-- the Bank of England is deciding today on whether to raise interest

:13:10. > :13:14.rates. Will it follow the footsteps in the US? We have been talking for

:13:15. > :13:18.years about how low interest rates have been and so what you have is a

:13:19. > :13:21.group of economists from Monetary Policy Committee who will meet

:13:22. > :13:25.monthly and look at what's going on in the economy and work out whether

:13:26. > :13:29.they need to increase or decrease the bank base rate in order to

:13:30. > :13:36.change how much we pay for when we borrow money and when we save money.

:13:37. > :13:40.For a long time now it has been at 0.25% since last year but for a long

:13:41. > :13:46.time you're looking at least eight years that it has been historically

:13:47. > :13:49.low, whereas if you compare that to America they have put up interest

:13:50. > :13:53.rates and that is because they feel quite confident about how the

:13:54. > :14:00.economy is going. They think things are picking up so they should

:14:01. > :14:07.increase interest rates. It is the rate that they have at the moment

:14:08. > :14:11.that is between 1% and 1.25%. This is the second time they have done

:14:12. > :14:14.that recently and they expect to do it before Christmas, so people are

:14:15. > :14:23.wondering if we will do it too? It is unlikely because our economy,

:14:24. > :14:27.economists feel, it isn't as strong. It is an interesting point because

:14:28. > :14:31.we often look to America to look what difference it will make for us.

:14:32. > :14:33.Interesting that the economies are so diverging in some sense. Thank

:14:34. > :14:35.you. -- diverted. There's good news for

:14:41. > :14:42.roaming charges for people using mobile phones abroad

:14:43. > :14:44.comes into force today. The new rules mean that citizens

:15:19. > :15:24.the Grenfell Tower fire became so devastating so quickly. We have been

:15:25. > :15:29.told it broke out on the fourth floor but we don't know the cause.

:15:30. > :15:33.People were told it should be contained and it did not. It raises

:15:34. > :15:38.the question, how did it spread so quickly? Some have pointed to the

:15:39. > :15:41.cladding on the outside of the building, but the fire protection

:15:42. > :15:50.agency says when it is properly fitted, it had actually resist fire.

:15:51. > :15:55.There are also questions about how it was fitted. It did not have a

:15:56. > :16:04.sprinkler system as it was built in 1974. There are no legal requirement

:16:05. > :16:11.for them. So, was the advice to stay put correct? Biosafety specialists

:16:12. > :16:17.have told us you need to keep escape routes free of smoke. However, it

:16:18. > :16:23.spread quickly into the escape routes. How have other buildings

:16:24. > :16:33.been affected? It is not the first. In 2009, six people died and

:16:34. > :16:45.apartment block caught fire in Southwark. We can talk to the chair

:16:46. > :16:48.of a fire safety rescue group. Thank you for joining me this morning.

:16:49. > :16:53.What do you think went wrong with yellow this is the most terrible

:16:54. > :16:58.tragedy. My heart goes out to those affected. It is the wrong time for

:16:59. > :17:09.me to point the finger of blame. But our committee was wise before, not

:17:10. > :17:13.after, the event, and have argued time after time sprinklers need to

:17:14. > :17:18.be installed. There should never have happened. The coroner in 2013

:17:19. > :17:22.said after the Lakanal disaster, sprinklers should be fitted

:17:23. > :17:27.retrospectively. Also, we have waited 11 years for these

:17:28. > :17:34.regulations. The Housing Minister at the time, Gavin Barwell, now Theresa

:17:35. > :17:39.May's Chief of Staff, he was in charge. Have you heard anything from

:17:40. > :17:47.him? These changes did not happen under his watch. Well, it is too

:17:48. > :17:57.early to say precisely what has gone on year. You have only got to look

:17:58. > :18:02.to see we have made countless speeches that sprinklers should be

:18:03. > :18:11.fitted. It is absolutely madness that it is not mandatory. It is

:18:12. > :18:15.impossible to put any amount of money on someone's life. It isn't

:18:16. > :18:21.just this minister or the one before him. It has been very frustrating

:18:22. > :18:24.for our committee. It has taken a tragedy like this to get some

:18:25. > :18:30.attention on the whole issue of sprinklers. I am delighted there

:18:31. > :18:33.will be a proper audit of the 4000 tower blocks. Local authorities and

:18:34. > :18:39.housing associations must immediately make sure all tower

:18:40. > :18:42.blocks have proper safety precautions in place. You have to be

:18:43. > :18:46.delighted after something like this has had to happen and something like

:18:47. > :18:50.this has happened under a Conservative government which you

:18:51. > :18:52.are saying has not committed to the recommendations, safety

:18:53. > :19:02.recommendations, of the people of this country. Well, these

:19:03. > :19:07.recommendations go back to not this government, not the one before, but

:19:08. > :19:11.the one before that. But it is your government that has not reacted to a

:19:12. > :19:16.report in 2013. I apologise for interrupting. It is well to look

:19:17. > :19:23.back, but you have been in charge since 2010. This happened in 2017 in

:19:24. > :19:30.a city dwelling after a report four years ago has not been put in place.

:19:31. > :19:34.Time after time having meetings with officials I think they have been

:19:35. > :19:38.drawn on the fact that the number of deaths have dramatically declined as

:19:39. > :19:41.a result of fires. We warned them something like this would happen. I

:19:42. > :19:47.simply don't understand why no action was taken. I think in time we

:19:48. > :19:53.will get a proper explanation exactly why the decision was taken

:19:54. > :19:59.so long ago not to immediately make sure that local authorities were

:20:00. > :20:05.given the option of retrospectively fitting sprinklers. But I think at

:20:06. > :20:11.the moment I don't want to make matters worse as far as families are

:20:12. > :20:15.concerned. I think we have to wait until there is a full investigation

:20:16. > :20:19.and we do all we possibly can to support the families who are now in

:20:20. > :20:23.absolute despair and still looking for their loved ones. One can only

:20:24. > :20:27.imagine for those families, yes, the situation cannot be made worse

:20:28. > :20:32.because they have lost loved ones, homes, everything. Why are our

:20:33. > :20:36.question is not being made to the former Housing Minister, Gavin

:20:37. > :20:41.Barwell, the Chief of Staff, who has the ear of Theresa May. Why has he

:20:42. > :20:45.not said anything? Have you talked to him? Why has he had such in

:20:46. > :20:51.action? Of course, Parliament has not got together yet. We don't even

:20:52. > :20:57.have a government at the moment. Mr Speaker announced to the House

:20:58. > :21:04.yesterday that the new minister, Nick Heard, was available to discuss

:21:05. > :21:07.the problem with colleagues. She made the immediate announcement she

:21:08. > :21:12.would do everything she can to help the families. I am of no doubt at

:21:13. > :21:21.all that as a matter of urgency, the end her team are trying to get to

:21:22. > :21:25.the bottom of what has happened. -- the Prime Minister and her team. But

:21:26. > :21:29.I don't want to point the finger at anyone. I want to say this is awful

:21:30. > :21:34.and has taken a tragedy to get attention on this issue, that

:21:35. > :21:45.sprinklers save lives and you cannot put any price on someone's life.

:21:46. > :21:47.Thank you. Chairman of the Fire Safety Group.

:21:48. > :21:59.And now for the weather. Quite a warm and muggy start to the day.

:22:00. > :22:02.Through the day, some respite from the heat and humidity. Feeling quite

:22:03. > :22:07.fresh, especially in the west. Sunshine and showers today. The

:22:08. > :22:12.fresh feel is down to the fact we have a cold front working eased

:22:13. > :22:16.through the day allowing fresh air from the Atlantic. That front is

:22:17. > :22:23.bringing a band of cloud with drizzly rain going east. Much of it

:22:24. > :22:27.disappearing by East Anglia and the south-east late in the day. Sunny

:22:28. > :22:31.spells for many of us to be showers in the north-west of the country.

:22:32. > :22:36.Remaining dry. Sunshine for the south-west of England and the south

:22:37. > :22:43.coast. Temperature is not as warm as they were yesterday. 17-18 the

:22:44. > :22:48.south-west. Heading our way further north, more cloud in the Midlands

:22:49. > :22:52.and northern England, the chance of the odd shower developing in the

:22:53. > :22:57.afternoon. More showers in Scotland. Some in the heavy side. The odd

:22:58. > :23:02.rumble of thunder mixed in. Sunshine between those blustery showers.

:23:03. > :23:07.Gusty winds for a time across Northern Ireland. Feeling fresh.

:23:08. > :23:12.Sunny spells and scattered showers. Some showers in the north of Wales.

:23:13. > :23:17.Much of Wales, a dry picture in the afternoon. This evening. Showers in

:23:18. > :23:24.the north go away. Largely dry overnight. Not as hot and muggy as

:23:25. > :23:29.recent nights. First thing tomorrow, temperatures, 12-13. Five degrees

:23:30. > :23:35.more cool than the date. Through tomorrow, largely dry through the

:23:36. > :23:41.country. Cloudy in the north-west. Moving to Scotland through the day.

:23:42. > :23:46.England and Wales in that sunshine, feeling quite pleasant. Temperatures

:23:47. > :23:50.up to 23 degrees or so. The weekend. High pressure keeping hold of the

:23:51. > :23:54.weather, moving in from the south. Weather fronts in the north-west.

:23:55. > :23:59.Rain on Saturday in the north and west of Scotland. Elsewhere, dry,

:24:00. > :24:10.warm, 28 degrees or so to be warming up even more. 30 degrees by Sunday.

:24:11. > :24:14.Back to Charlie in West London now. We are in the shower of Grenfell

:24:15. > :24:20.Tower. You can see it over my shoulder. Interesting to hear about

:24:21. > :24:25.moment ago. In London, there are something like 700 tower blocks

:24:26. > :24:31.above 11 storeys. Many people are asking questions about safety. We

:24:32. > :24:35.are talking about how people are being looked after.

:24:36. > :24:38.The Reverend Mark O'Donoghue is the area dean of Kensington

:24:39. > :24:40.and has been organising volunteers helping some of those who escaped

:24:41. > :24:43.the fire who are taking shelter at St Celment's church.

:24:44. > :24:47.And Sophie Duncan is a local resident who lives close by who had

:24:48. > :24:54.As soon as you step into this area it is obvious the lengths people are

:24:55. > :24:57.going to help one another. In a terrible situation, there is

:24:58. > :24:58.something to cling on to. Since 330 yesterday morning, churches were

:24:59. > :25:08.opening doors all around. They were doing

:25:09. > :25:14.what Jesus Christ would do, opening doors and giving people some want to

:25:15. > :25:17.talk to and pray with, providing food and water and shelter and just

:25:18. > :25:33.providing somewhere to go into away from the chaos. In these desperate

:25:34. > :25:37.hours with the missing, with those not certain what has happened to

:25:38. > :25:41.loved ones, what can you offer them? Christ-like compassion. Someone to

:25:42. > :25:49.listen to their story. I met a chap, he spent the entire day going centre

:25:50. > :25:55.to centre looking for his family. He had been so busy he did not stop all

:25:56. > :26:01.day. I asked if it would help if I prayed with him. He was grateful for

:26:02. > :26:09.that. Has been resolved? We have not yet heard. I hope he finds his two

:26:10. > :26:15.friends. I hope they are safe and well. But he is still looking. In

:26:16. > :26:19.among the compassion, a lot of anger as well. That is focusing on

:26:20. > :26:24.specific decisions about the building we can see still

:26:25. > :26:31.smouldering behind us, the cladding, the reason why it spread so quickly.

:26:32. > :26:38.What can you tell us? Earlier on today we saw stuff everywhere. This

:26:39. > :26:43.is quite likely to be from the external cladding of the building.

:26:44. > :26:54.They will have to be an enquiry to look at it quite candid camera look

:26:55. > :27:08.down on the street to my right? -- Can the. What is that? This is

:27:09. > :27:11.probably the installation from behind the cladding. The BRE, the

:27:12. > :27:15.British Research Establishment, will look into this to see if it was of

:27:16. > :27:21.suitable quality for fires. Was it the correct thing specified? And was

:27:22. > :27:25.it what should have gone into the house? And many people are talking

:27:26. > :27:32.about the advice for those caught up in the crisis. Those upper floors,

:27:33. > :27:37.whether they had to stay or leave. There is some advice given that

:27:38. > :27:52.tends to be given. Evacuate, properties that are alarmed, ones

:27:53. > :27:55.not purpose-built. But in a purpose-built block like this, they

:27:56. > :27:59.are told to stay put. But, the true advice is to stay put unless you are

:28:00. > :28:04.affected by fire and smoke. They were. They should have been

:28:05. > :28:11.evacuated. There needs to be clarification to say stay put simply

:28:12. > :28:18.means a small fire on a flatter the 10th floor does not mean all 12 - 20

:28:19. > :28:22.- 30 floors have to be evacuated. Thank you for your time and thank

:28:23. > :28:26.you for spending time with us this morning. We will be following up on

:28:27. > :28:31.the fire service a little later on. They will give us the latest

:28:32. > :28:35.information they have. It is worth saying, we were talking about the

:28:36. > :28:41.compassion of the local area, there is a remembrance wall being started.

:28:42. > :32:12.It is very moving. Some personal messages on

:32:13. > :32:27.Welcome back to West London. We are in the shadow of the Grenfell Tower.

:32:28. > :32:31.It is a sobering moment to see it in broad daylight. You get a sense of

:32:32. > :32:35.the scale of the damage done by that devastating fire. If you look

:32:36. > :32:41.closely this morning we can see the smoke which is still coming from the

:32:42. > :32:44.fourth or fifth floor. You could see late last night the flames were

:32:45. > :32:49.clearly visible and this morning we can see some smoke emerging from the

:32:50. > :32:54.building. The charred remains really are very shocking. Of course the

:32:55. > :32:58.questions this morning are over finding the people who are still

:32:59. > :33:00.missing and unaccounted for. Let me take you through the basic

:33:01. > :33:03.information at this point: Police have confirmed

:33:04. > :33:05.12 people dead so far, but that figure is expected

:33:06. > :33:15.to rise significantly. In terms of those getting

:33:16. > :33:17.injured: 34 patients remain in hospital and 18

:33:18. > :33:26.are in critical care. Lots of people who live in the

:33:27. > :33:32.Grenfell Tower have been looked after locally. In terms of the

:33:33. > :33:35.issues raised, many people here have an increasing sense of anger as

:33:36. > :33:38.people have shown, compassion to those who need help, but also a

:33:39. > :33:41.sense of anger about why this happened with many questions asked

:33:42. > :33:45.about the fire and safety precautions that were or were not in

:33:46. > :33:49.place and earlier on the programme we spoke with Sir David Amis, chair

:33:50. > :33:54.of the all party and Andreev fire safety rescue group, who said the

:33:55. > :33:58.focus now is on those families. At the moment I don't want to make

:33:59. > :34:03.matters worse as far as the families are concerned. I think we have to

:34:04. > :34:07.wait until there is a full investigation and do all that we

:34:08. > :34:12.possibly can to support the families who are now in absolute despair and

:34:13. > :34:17.still looking for their loved ones. Yes, and on the issue of help for

:34:18. > :34:23.those who are here, when we arrived in the morning many people were in

:34:24. > :34:26.the area telling us that lots of water, food, bedding and clothing

:34:27. > :34:31.has been dropped off locally during the night. So much that there are

:34:32. > :34:35.piles waiting to be distributed. As you walk around this busy

:34:36. > :34:40.residential area you can see signs on the wall that said, please, help

:34:41. > :34:44.yourself, there is water if needed. It has been a real feature that has

:34:45. > :34:49.been growing over the last 34 hours of people who have come to help out.

:34:50. > :34:52.Let's hear what people have had to say.

:34:53. > :34:55.When something as horrific as this happens, you either feel despair

:34:56. > :34:58.and hopelessness or you rise above with optimism and a sense

:34:59. > :35:00.of community to come together and support each other.

:35:01. > :35:02.That has been personified here by the community.

:35:03. > :35:06.They have really come out for each other not just by donating

:35:07. > :35:09.what they have in their homes in terms of food and clothing

:35:10. > :35:12.but also being here for the community to provide the moral

:35:13. > :35:16.We are here to provide aid, tackling food security and providing

:35:17. > :35:18.help with provisions, blankets and essential resources

:35:19. > :35:20.to support communities that so desperately need the support.

:35:21. > :35:23.Me and my son went through the whole house, clothes, trainers,

:35:24. > :35:26.shoes, pyjamas, anything I could find that I don't need that

:35:27. > :35:37.sits there I have bagged up and brought down.

:35:38. > :35:44.In terms of the ongoing operation in the building itself, we know from

:35:45. > :35:47.fire officers last night that they were still operating late into the

:35:48. > :35:51.night last night trying to search the building. They did say at that

:35:52. > :35:55.point they had searched most of the building. We will get an update from

:35:56. > :36:00.the Fire Service in the next half an hour. That is coming up. Right now I

:36:01. > :36:04.will hand you back to the studio. Thank you very much. And as the

:36:05. > :36:07.update comes through, we will keep you updated.

:36:08. > :36:10.The Met Police has set up an emergency number for anyone

:36:11. > :36:20.There is other news to bring you: Theresa May will meet political

:36:21. > :36:22.parties from Northern Ireland today at Downing Street.

:36:23. > :36:24.She'll discuss plans to restore power-sharing at Stormont,

:36:25. > :36:32.and try to allay growing concerns about her attempt to secure

:36:33. > :36:36.The backing of the democratic Unionist MPs in parliament.

:36:37. > :36:38.President Trump is being investigated for possible

:36:39. > :36:41.obstruction of justice, according to the Washington Post.

:36:42. > :36:43.If confirmed, the move by Special Counsel Robert Mueller

:36:44. > :36:45.would mark a turning point in the FBI investigation

:36:46. > :36:47.into Russian interference in last year's presidential election.

:36:48. > :36:50.Mr Trump's lawyer has called the leak of information outrageous,

:36:51. > :37:02.The British government needs to do more to improve the well-being

:37:03. > :37:05.The international charity has produced a report examining

:37:06. > :37:07.whether the world's richest countries are meeting

:37:08. > :37:08.internationally-agreed goals for young people.

:37:09. > :37:11.It found that while the UK has made progress dealing with teenage

:37:12. > :37:14.pregnancy and underage drinking, concerns remain over the number

:37:15. > :37:29.We will have the weather in around ten minutes but first it is time to

:37:30. > :37:33.talk about sport and where there are losers, we are feeling the pinch,

:37:34. > :37:37.there are losers - and it wasn't interesting final.

:37:38. > :37:44.It could be Pakistan- India for the second time but England were meant

:37:45. > :37:47.to be there. It was all scripted, apparently. What happened? A lot of

:37:48. > :37:50.head scratching, that's for sure. England's cricketers are out

:37:51. > :37:52.of the Champions Trophy, after a crushing defeat to Pakistan

:37:53. > :37:55.in their semi-final. Eoin Morgan's side had been

:37:56. > :37:57.the favourite for the tournament, but struggled on a slow

:37:58. > :38:00.pitch in Cardiff. Jonny Bairstow, who came

:38:01. > :38:02.into the side, hit 43, but wickets tumbled quickly,

:38:03. > :38:04.including Ben Stokes, who went for 34, without

:38:05. > :38:06.hitting a single boundary. England made just 211,

:38:07. > :38:09.which Pakistan knocked off in less They play either India or Bangladesh

:38:10. > :38:14.in Sunday's final at The Oval. We played against some really good

:38:15. > :38:18.sides recently and we have managed That hasn't gone

:38:19. > :38:21.into our heads at all. In today's game, going in knowing

:38:22. > :38:24.we would play on a used cricket brought Pakistan's game

:38:25. > :38:29.closer to their home. It was a big challenge and one

:38:30. > :38:32.that was too far for us. Southampton are looking

:38:33. > :38:35.for a new manager, after sacking The Frenchman had spent just one

:38:36. > :38:39.season at St Mary's, but during that time guided

:38:40. > :38:42.the Saints to the League Cup Final, where they were narrowly beaten

:38:43. > :38:44.by Manchester United, and he helped them to finish

:38:45. > :38:47.a respectable eighth in the Premier It's been confirmed that the former

:38:48. > :38:50.boxing world champion at five different weights, Floyd Mayweather,

:38:51. > :38:53.will fight the Ultimate Fighting They will meet in a bout

:38:54. > :38:58.in Las Vegas on the 26th of August. 40-year-old Mayweather retired

:38:59. > :39:00.undefeated after winning his 49th straight bout in September 2015,

:39:01. > :39:02.while the 29-year-old Irishman McGregor is the first

:39:03. > :39:06.fighter in the UFC to have held two belts but has never

:39:07. > :39:07.boxed professionally. The contest will take place under

:39:08. > :39:10.normal boxing rules so Mcgregor will have to limit himself

:39:11. > :39:20.to the noble art of just punching. The US Open golf gets under way

:39:21. > :39:23.in Wisconsin this afternoon. Much of the pre-tournament talk has

:39:24. > :39:26.been about the punishing rough, with long grass surrounding

:39:27. > :39:28.many of the fairways. Organisers took the unusual step

:39:29. > :39:31.of cutting some of it back, And this was Lee Westwood on one

:39:32. > :39:39.of his practice rounds retrieving his ball

:39:40. > :39:53.from that rough. Just off the edge of the fairway...

:39:54. > :39:58.I found it! LAUGHTER demonstrating in his own way how long the rough is

:39:59. > :40:02.but Rory McIlroy said that if the players can't keep it on the fairway

:40:03. > :40:05.then they are not good enough to be there. The length of the grass

:40:06. > :40:10.doesn't matter. And when you see them hit the ball and what they are

:40:11. > :40:17.training to do - hitting straight? Could you hit the ball at a grass

:40:18. > :40:21.that high? Could I? You would just take the shot. I would get lost in

:40:22. > :40:22.the grass. We couldn't see over it! Thank you.

:40:23. > :40:25.Tim Farron announced he would be stepping down less than a week

:40:26. > :40:38.There has been criticism of Tim Farron's inability to appeal to

:40:39. > :40:39.white voters. The share of the vote fell.

:40:40. > :40:42.In a statement, he said continued scrutiny of his religious beliefs

:40:43. > :40:50.had been a distraction, obscuring his party's message.

:40:51. > :40:56.There are Christians in politics who take the view that they should

:40:57. > :41:00.impose the tenets of their faith on society. I have not taken that

:41:01. > :41:04.approach because I fundamentally disagree with it. It is not liberal

:41:05. > :41:10.and, actually, counter-productive when it comes to advancing the

:41:11. > :41:14.gospel. Even so I seem to have been the subject of suspicion because of

:41:15. > :41:19.what I believe and who my faith is in. In this case we are kidding

:41:20. > :41:23.ourselves if we think we yet live in a tolerant, liberal society. And

:41:24. > :41:25.that is why I have chosen to step down as leader of the Liberal

:41:26. > :41:25.Democrats. Alistair Carmichael is a Lib Dem MP

:41:26. > :41:36.and former Secretary of State Thank you very much for joining us

:41:37. > :41:40.on BBC Breakfast this morning. Good morning. Did he make the right

:41:41. > :41:45.decision in stepping down? I think he did. If you are not a comfortable

:41:46. > :41:49.in doing the job, if you feel that you are being somehow distracted

:41:50. > :41:54.from doing it, as a modern party leader I think you just can't really

:41:55. > :41:58.allow that. Let's not distract attention away from the fact that in

:41:59. > :42:02.less than two years Tim Farron presided over a quite remarkable

:42:03. > :42:06.revival in the party's fortunes. We have doubled the party membership,

:42:07. > :42:12.we have increased the number of MPs at the general election by 50%, and

:42:13. > :42:16.he has taken us from the political margin again write to the centre of

:42:17. > :42:20.political debate and he has given us political relevance. Yet it has cast

:42:21. > :42:24.doubt on his appointment as leader in the first place. When picking a

:42:25. > :42:28.leader of a political party, how much consideration should be given

:42:29. > :42:34.to his faith? He has said it has clashed and distracted from his

:42:35. > :42:39.political job. I think there are legitimate questions for us all to

:42:40. > :42:43.be asking not just in the Lib Dems about the way in which his faith has

:42:44. > :42:46.been treated in this general election campaign. I have campaign

:42:47. > :42:50.in every general election since 1979. I can never remember questions

:42:51. > :42:54.of theology acquiring this prominence. When we are electing

:42:55. > :43:02.people to parliament, parliament decides what is legal. The general

:43:03. > :43:05.assembly, the Synod of the Church of England will decide what is in full,

:43:06. > :43:11.and that is a distinction we would do well to remember. -- sinful. It

:43:12. > :43:14.is acceptable for a leader to personally believe something is

:43:15. > :43:19.sinful and then extol that it is not sinful in front of the electorate in

:43:20. > :43:23.order to gain votes? Tim Farron's record on equality issues is

:43:24. > :43:27.absolutely impeccable. There is nothing in his voting record in

:43:28. > :43:33.parliament or indeed in his wider conduct in public life which would

:43:34. > :43:37.contradict that. He has never demonstrated bigotry in any way,

:43:38. > :43:42.shape or form. As a Member of Parliament and public figure, that

:43:43. > :43:45.should be enough. It is quite remarkable that he faced these

:43:46. > :43:49.questions time after time after time while others in public life who also

:43:50. > :43:54.claimed to be Christians did not have to face these questions. I

:43:55. > :44:00.think there are some serious questions for the way that the media

:44:01. > :44:03.in particular have treated Tim Farron and his religious beliefs.

:44:04. > :44:07.Let me give you a couple of example is of comments we have had from

:44:08. > :44:11.viewers this morning on social media. Jay said funny how we thought

:44:12. > :44:15.lying to attract votes was OK and even more interesting how he is

:44:16. > :44:19.doing this now rather than before the election result. Jerome Cousin

:44:20. > :44:22.is as a gay man I couldn't vote Lib Dem because it was obvious Tim

:44:23. > :44:26.Farron was completed. Politics and religion need to be separate.

:44:27. > :44:31.Picking up on the point, the timing of the announcement has been in some

:44:32. > :44:35.ways quite peculiar. Was he pushed? No, he wasn't. I was at the meeting

:44:36. > :44:41.of the parliamentary party yesterday afternoon when he made the

:44:42. > :44:47.announcement I think while all Lib Dem colleagues were in at the time

:44:48. > :44:51.and we were all surprised. He caught us cold but there was nothing but

:44:52. > :45:03.support for him in the room. There are ten Lib Dem MPs. Know, 11 of us.

:45:04. > :45:08.12, including yourself. Who should be the next leader in your opinion?

:45:09. > :45:12.Joe Swinson served as deputy leader, Sir Vince Cable, the voice of

:45:13. > :45:17.experience, Ed Davey, Norman Lamb, who are you going for? I will have

:45:18. > :45:21.that conversation with my colleagues in the next couple of days, but you

:45:22. > :45:25.are right to highlight that although we are very small as a parliamentary

:45:26. > :45:29.party, we have some of the biggest hitters in parliament amongst the 12

:45:30. > :45:34.and we are exceptionally fortunate that the richness of the trees that

:45:35. > :45:38.we have. That is something for which the party should take into Regiment

:45:39. > :45:49.in future. Thank you very much for your time this morning.

:45:50. > :46:03.The weather. Good morning. A monkey and warm start to the day for many

:46:04. > :46:10.of us. -- muggy. Through the day, things will feel more fresh. Plenty

:46:11. > :46:17.of sunshine. A few showers as well. Through the day, a cold front will

:46:18. > :46:22.go west to east, opening the door for the fresh air to come in from

:46:23. > :46:27.the west. This cloud and drizzly rain will fizzle out as it goes east

:46:28. > :46:33.towards East Anglia. The south-west later on. Showers in Scotland and

:46:34. > :46:38.Northern Ireland. Further south across the country, dry through the

:46:39. > :46:45.day. The south-west of England, not as hot. 17-18. The south-east, warm

:46:46. > :46:50.and muggy for the first part of the day. 24 degrees. Fresh during the

:46:51. > :46:55.afternoon when the front goes east. Cloudy in the Midlands and northern

:46:56. > :47:00.England. Spells of sunshine. Isolated showers. More showers in

:47:01. > :47:05.Scotland. Equally, dry and bright weather in between. If you catch one

:47:06. > :47:09.of those showers, quite sharp and heavy. The odd rumble of thunder.

:47:10. > :47:15.Windy with showers in Northern Ireland that the temperatures there

:47:16. > :47:19.in the mid-to-high teens. Sunshine and a few showers in the north of

:47:20. > :47:22.Wales in north-west England. Showers to the north tends to fade away

:47:23. > :47:31.through the overnight period. The early hours Friday. Most places will

:47:32. > :47:38.dry. Crash. 12- 30 degrees. -- Fresh. Five degrees cooler than

:47:39. > :47:42.today. Cloud in the west of the country. Rain for Northern Ireland

:47:43. > :47:48.pushing the Scotland. Further south, dry once again. In the sunshine, a

:47:49. > :47:55.pleasant day. Temperatures between 15 in Glasgow to 17 in London. High

:47:56. > :48:00.pressure will stick around into the weekend. It will keep weather fronts

:48:01. > :48:04.at bay. A weather front of the north-west. Saturday, wet and windy

:48:05. > :48:09.weather across the far north west of Scotland. For the rest of the

:48:10. > :48:13.country, a dry and warm day. 28 degrees towards the south-east. It

:48:14. > :48:22.will feel quite hot. Sunday. Warming up even more. By Sunday afternoon,

:48:23. > :48:25.temperatures up to 30 degrees. Slightly cooler with outbreaks of

:48:26. > :48:28.rain in the far north-west of Scotland. Looking like a hot weekend

:48:29. > :48:34.to come. Temperatures will rise into the new week. Back to you, Charlie.

:48:35. > :48:45.This is West London. Those blue skies contrasting to the image

:48:46. > :48:49.behind me. A shocking image. Broad daylight. Some smoke still emerging

:48:50. > :48:53.from what looks like the lower floors. The charred remains of the

:48:54. > :48:58.tower block itself. Several things emerging this morning. One is the

:48:59. > :49:04.help and compassion of people. So many people rallying around to help

:49:05. > :49:10.out those caught in this crisis. The other thing emerging is those

:49:11. > :49:15.messages. It is those missing and unaccounted for at the moment in

:49:16. > :49:19.that desperate situation people are in at the moment as people try to

:49:20. > :49:25.locate loved ones. You can see the tribute wall, a remembrance wall,

:49:26. > :49:29.just around the corner. Messages for individuals who people know have

:49:30. > :49:35.been killed. There are other messages of support. It is moving

:49:36. > :49:48.standing there and people are adding messages this morning. Now for the

:49:49. > :49:51.practical matters. This is a chartered surveyor. Good morning.

:49:52. > :49:56.Good morning. First of all, there are so many questions to do with how

:49:57. > :50:02.the fire spread so quickly. Can you give us initial thoughts? First of

:50:03. > :50:08.all, you think about the people and then the reasons behind it. How and

:50:09. > :50:15.why did it start? How did it spread so quickly? What was the influence

:50:16. > :50:19.of the refurbishment? More importantly, what can we learn from

:50:20. > :50:22.it and how quickly can we do it? Already on the programme this

:50:23. > :50:29.morning, many people are asking questions about accidents like this

:50:30. > :50:37.that have happened before to be I called it an accident, but people

:50:38. > :50:44.have said it is avoidable. People said that recommendations after

:50:45. > :50:51.Southwark in 2009 were not implemented. The reason is because

:50:52. > :50:57.things like this don't happen often. It is not something to be

:50:58. > :51:01.celebrated. Was it the combination of circumstances that led to this?

:51:02. > :51:04.We need to find a quickly. Anyone who knows this area well, you look

:51:05. > :51:10.around and have the charred remains of a tower block. Move the camera

:51:11. > :51:15.around to our right. You can see that building is replicated. There

:51:16. > :51:21.are two in shot. In many centres in the UK, there are tower blocks

:51:22. > :51:26.similar to this. How can anyone in those buildings have confidence in

:51:27. > :51:29.the building they are living in bearing in mind what has happened

:51:30. > :51:33.here? Sadly, when something like this happens, people look up

:51:34. > :51:39.procedures affecting their Rome buildings. They can be more modest.

:51:40. > :51:46.-- their own. They can think about what would happen if, tragically,

:51:47. > :51:50.similar circumstances arose. That is a good thing in a way. We look at

:51:51. > :51:54.those things differently than we did before and try to learn quickly from

:51:55. > :52:00.those mistakes. In terms of being official, we know groups living here

:52:01. > :52:07.had raised fears over a long period of time and say they were not

:52:08. > :52:11.listened to. Do you think this time around that issues will be addressed

:52:12. > :52:20.properly? Because the concern is when a report comes out, people will

:52:21. > :52:25.read it but nothing will change. The idea of a fire in buildings like

:52:26. > :52:30.this is if it starts in one building, it should stay that, and

:52:31. > :52:38.it should be that it does not spread elsewhere so fatalities are kept to

:52:39. > :52:42.a minimum. That is the first point. Of course, the balding work has been

:52:43. > :52:47.done in the design of the building and whether it is appropriate given

:52:48. > :52:51.what has happened in the future. -- building. Thank you very much. We

:52:52. > :52:55.will be back you through the morning. It is worth saying just

:52:56. > :52:58.after eight o'clock we will speak to the fire service for any updates

:52:59. > :53:09.they have captured his and the situation with the building itself.

:53:10. > :53:09.-- they have on this and the situation.

:53:10. > :53:12.The days of bringing back a massive mobile bill from a European holiday

:53:13. > :53:16.From today roaming charges are being dropped across the EU.

:53:17. > :53:19.New rules come into force today which mean

:53:20. > :53:23.if you travel to an EU country and use your mobile phone you'll be

:53:24. > :53:26.charged the same as if you were here in the UK.

:53:27. > :53:29.So you won't be hit with extra charges for making calls,

:53:30. > :53:33.sending texts or using data on line as long as it's in your plan.

:53:34. > :53:36.These new rules have been a long time in the making,

:53:37. > :53:39.after years of complaints that customers have been getting ripped

:53:40. > :53:43.Hannah Maundrell is the editor in chief of the comparison website,

:53:44. > :53:49.She is with us now. Good morning. This is great news for people using

:53:50. > :53:53.mobiles abroad. It is such a pain when you get back and realise you

:53:54. > :53:57.have been charged for so many things he did not realise were going to be

:53:58. > :54:02.added to your bill. What are the caveats? This is good for people

:54:03. > :54:09.going to the EU this summer that the we have seen costs spiral everywhere

:54:10. > :54:16.else. It means you will not be charged extra in the EU, Iceland,

:54:17. > :54:22.Norway, etc. But you do need to remember that it is not free calls.

:54:23. > :54:26.It is the same usage you get back home. If you go over the allowance

:54:27. > :54:33.in your contract, you will be charged more. If you are on an

:54:34. > :54:45.unlimited data deal, it could be tapped overseas. If you are on a

:54:46. > :54:48.cheap deal that is less than ?3 a gig, it could be different. It only

:54:49. > :54:55.applies to 28 EU countries and a few others. Look at Turkey, a Rocca, the

:54:56. > :55:03.USA, anywhere else, first, because you could be stung by bills that are

:55:04. > :55:09.not included. -- Morocco. People are asking what will happen if we leave

:55:10. > :55:14.the EU? Without a crystal ball, we do not know. It will be up for

:55:15. > :55:18.discussion. It will not be top of the negotiation table. It is

:55:19. > :55:23.possible a new arrangement could be agreed. We don't know at this stage.

:55:24. > :55:30.What we do know is that they will apply until we leave the EU. If you

:55:31. > :55:37.are holidaying in the EU, you can enjoy it. Could it mean you can get

:55:38. > :55:41.a deal with a Spanish provider if they are cheaper and use it here

:55:42. > :55:47.like a normal phone? If only that was the case. You need to use your

:55:48. > :55:57.phone in your home country. If you use it more here, then that is the

:55:58. > :56:01.network. If you use it more overseas, the network would find

:56:02. > :56:06.out. They will monitor it. You need to keep an eye on it that be the

:56:07. > :56:16.same said if you are travelling for a longer period. -- on it. You need

:56:17. > :56:24.to keep a look at that. Thank you very much. That is it for me for

:56:25. > :56:29.now. We will keep you updated on the events following the tragic fire in

:56:30. > :59:50.West London at Grenfell Tower. Charlie is bringing you the latest.

:59:51. > :59:58.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt in West London.

:59:59. > :00:00.The desperate search continues to find the missing

:00:01. > :00:07.Over 24 hours on from the blaze, 12 people are known to have died.

:00:08. > :00:12.Scores more are still unaccounted for.

:00:13. > :00:17.We don't know if they're alive or dead,

:00:18. > :00:20.or if they're in hospital or not, we have not any clues.

:00:21. > :00:21.The Prime Minister promises a full investigation

:00:22. > :00:28.On the ground, there's anger that warnings may have been ignored.

:00:29. > :00:31.People trapped in that tower, knowing that the people

:00:32. > :00:34.that were supposed to look after them didn't care about them.

:00:35. > :00:36.Many spent the night in emergency shelters,

:00:37. > :00:59.to support people left without homes and basic needs.

:01:00. > :01:01.Good morning, it's Thursday 15th June.

:01:02. > :01:04.On Breakfast today, we'll bring you the latest on the fire,

:01:05. > :01:06.and we'll be asking how a tragedy like this

:01:07. > :01:10.could have struck in the heart of the capital.

:01:11. > :01:12.Also this morning, Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron steps down

:01:13. > :01:15.from the post saying he's torn between his Christian faith

:01:16. > :01:20.The days of coming home to a big mobile bill

:01:21. > :01:22.after a European holiday should now be over.

:01:23. > :01:25.From today, roaming charges are being dropped across the EU.

:01:26. > :01:31.In sport, England's hopes of winning the Champions Trophy are over.

:01:32. > :01:33.Eoin Morgan's men were favourites to win the tournament,

:01:34. > :01:38.in their semifinal in Cardiff by eight wickets.

:01:39. > :01:50.Good morning, a muddy start, but things will feel fresh and through

:01:51. > :01:51.the day, a mix of sunshine and showers, all the details for you in

:01:52. > :01:56.about 15 minutes. Good morning, I'm in West London,

:01:57. > :02:00.more than 24 hours after fire swept through the Grenfell Tower

:02:01. > :02:02.behind me, you can still see and the Fire Services at work

:02:03. > :02:17.around the remains. Late last night, you may have seen

:02:18. > :02:22.the images against the dark night sky, you could see flames inside.

:02:23. > :02:26.But it really is a devastating, sobering sight this morning, the

:02:27. > :02:31.smouldering carcass of the building itself. Let's bring you up to date

:02:32. > :02:38.with the latest we have in terms of information on fatalities and

:02:39. > :02:44.casualties. Police have confirmed that 12 people are dead, but they

:02:45. > :02:48.have also said that figure is expected to rise significantly. 34

:02:49. > :02:52.patients, in all, remain in hospital. Of those, 18 are in

:02:53. > :02:57.critical care. We will be speaking to the Fire Service in the next ten

:02:58. > :03:02.minutes or so here on Breakfast to get the very latest information for

:03:03. > :03:05.you. Locally, hundreds of families are without homes because of the

:03:06. > :03:10.building fire, and many people have been helping out, bringing produce,

:03:11. > :03:12.bringing water and blankets for those in need. Let's get the very

:03:13. > :03:16.latest now from Andy Moore. The official death toll

:03:17. > :03:19.is expected to rise, but even so it is outstripped

:03:20. > :03:22.by the number of the missing. These are some of their faces -

:03:23. > :03:27.whole families are unaccounted for, many of them lived

:03:28. > :03:31.on the top floors. This woman was searching

:03:32. > :03:32.local hospitals for her friend

:03:33. > :03:34.and three children. We don't know if there are alive

:03:35. > :03:38.or dead, or if they're in hospital or not, we have not any clues,

:03:39. > :03:40.just waiting and hoping. As dusk fell, nearly 18 hours

:03:41. > :03:43.after the blaze started, there were still pockets of fire

:03:44. > :03:48.inside the tower block. The Prime Minister promised

:03:49. > :03:50.there would be a full inquiry Of course, once the scene is secure,

:03:51. > :03:58.once the recovery is complete, then an investigation will take

:03:59. > :04:02.place into the cause of the fire and if there are any

:04:03. > :04:04.lessons to be learned. Witnesses say the fire

:04:05. > :04:08.spread rapidly, apparently through the new cladding

:04:09. > :04:11.on the outside of the block, how the foam insulation used

:04:12. > :04:23.in some cladding can catch fire. The actual rigid-board insulation

:04:24. > :04:27.that I believe is most likely to have been used is made from

:04:28. > :04:30.the same material, polyurethane. and this is the rate

:04:31. > :04:33.at which it burns. and this is a typical material used

:04:34. > :04:43.for insulating external buildings. The firm that carried out

:04:44. > :04:45.the refurbishment said it had met all building control,

:04:46. > :04:47.fire regulation, A later statement removed a section

:04:48. > :04:56.about meeting fire regulations. The Government is sufficiently

:04:57. > :04:58.worried to order checks on any tower blocks that have

:04:59. > :05:03.undergone a similar refurbishment. Some residents of Grenfell Tower

:05:04. > :05:07.had to resort to ropes made of blankets and sheets

:05:08. > :05:10.to escape the burning building. There are many questions

:05:11. > :05:13.to be answered. Why was there no sprinkler system?

:05:14. > :05:17.Did the alarms work? Is the stay-put policy

:05:18. > :05:20.the right advice? There are 4000 tower

:05:21. > :05:22.blocks in the UK. This terrible fire will cause

:05:23. > :05:46.a fundamental rethink about Andy is with me now, you have spent

:05:47. > :05:50.30 hours here, in your hand, and I made reference to this, there are

:05:51. > :05:54.lots of these pieces, it is like charcoal, isn't it? Yes, you saw in

:05:55. > :05:58.my report what happens when the lightweight insulating foam is

:05:59. > :06:05.satellite, you apply some heat, and then it does burn, and this is that

:06:06. > :06:08.lightweight insulating foam. It has blown on the wind from the tower

:06:09. > :06:13.behind us, this is the cladding that is being blamed for the spread of

:06:14. > :06:19.the fire. And that is just flaking away. It looks quite solid, but it

:06:20. > :06:23.just breaks up, doesn't it? This is lightweight insulating material. The

:06:24. > :06:27.problem is, this cladding material may be fire resistant, but it is

:06:28. > :06:32.charred all the way through, it does catch light, and this is the sort of

:06:33. > :06:36.material that is on dozens of high-rises here in the UK, hundreds

:06:37. > :06:39.if not thousands around the world, and we have seen how it can burn,

:06:40. > :06:45.how it can transmit the fire. What is going to happen to this foam now

:06:46. > :06:49.on these buildings? Is it going to have to be removed? Are those

:06:50. > :06:55.buildings safe to live in? We had a wake-up call with the Lakmal house

:06:56. > :06:59.fire some years ago, 2009 in South London, when cladding like this was

:07:00. > :07:03.blamed for the spread of the fire. -- Lakanal House. Six people died,

:07:04. > :07:08.it seemed that we did not learn the lesson. But we claim this will be a

:07:09. > :07:13.sea change in our attitude to this sort of cladding, this insulating

:07:14. > :07:17.foam. Of two sides to this story, the practicalities that you were

:07:18. > :07:21.talking about, the people here and the desperate search for those who

:07:22. > :07:24.are unaccounted for. I know you have been spending time with some of the

:07:25. > :07:29.families were homeless because of the fire. That is right, and the

:07:30. > :07:36.search for the missing goes on. Only this morning I saw a poster placed

:07:37. > :07:38.on the windscreen of a car, an appeal for information about a

:07:39. > :07:43.19-year-old girl that was missing. Lots of people are searching

:07:44. > :07:49.hospitals for information about loved ones. We do not know the

:07:50. > :07:52.numbers, but it seems perhaps dozens of people are missing, whole

:07:53. > :07:57.families, as I said in my report, families of six, families of five,

:07:58. > :08:03.three generations of the same family, all missing, unaccounted

:08:04. > :08:07.for. Many of them, sadly, were on the top floors of the building. The

:08:08. > :08:11.firefighters are in there, trying to search through the building, but we

:08:12. > :08:15.have heard it will be a very long and complicated process. As Andy was

:08:16. > :08:19.saying, we are getting some updates from the Fire Service, saying they

:08:20. > :08:24.thought they had searched most of the building. It is worth saying, in

:08:25. > :08:28.a round about five minutes also, we will be speaking live to the Fire

:08:29. > :08:31.Service to get the very latest update on the situation. For the

:08:32. > :08:35.moment, from West London, back to the studio.

:08:36. > :08:38.Let's get some reaction from Westminster

:08:39. > :08:47.Morning, Chris. Earlier we spoke to Chris Mason joins us.

:08:48. > :08:50.Morning, Chris. Earlier we spoke to the chairman of the all-party fire

:08:51. > :08:54.rescue group, he said meetings would be taking place to look into the

:08:55. > :08:57.safety aspects of this, and this is why Labour is calling for an urgent

:08:58. > :09:02.look at the safety precautions and Whitemoor was not done.

:09:03. > :09:07.Yes, he made it very clear that his view is that the Government ought to

:09:08. > :09:17.have done more in the past. The current government, the previous one

:09:18. > :09:20.as well, particularly with the installation of sprinklers in older

:09:21. > :09:23.buildings, where they were not put in when it was built. There are

:09:24. > :09:27.searching questions for the Government coming from that

:09:28. > :09:30.committee and elsewhere, from former senior fire officer is, for

:09:31. > :09:35.instance, saying that the desire to cut back on regulation, in their

:09:36. > :09:41.view, has perhaps stood in the way of refreshing the necessary rules

:09:42. > :09:45.around fire safety in tower blocks. Particular questions coming the way

:09:46. > :09:49.of Gavin Barwell. He was a housing minister until just last week, then

:09:50. > :09:54.he lost his seat, and within hours he was appointed as the Prime

:09:55. > :09:58.Minister's chief of staff. There are questions as to whether a review

:09:59. > :10:03.that the Government promised in fire safety regulations has been anyway

:10:04. > :10:08.repressed all sat on by the Government. It insists it has not,

:10:09. > :10:11.that the work to do with those regulations is ongoing, but you can

:10:12. > :10:14.imagine those questions will continue now, given what happened

:10:15. > :10:20.yesterday. Of course, our thoughts are with the fire, but politics

:10:21. > :10:24.continues - after maybe a brief pause because of recent tragic

:10:25. > :10:29.events, we had Theresa May negotiating with the DUP, and I

:10:30. > :10:35.wonder how surprisingly resignation is. Yes, very striking, isn't it,

:10:36. > :10:42.that fought the third time in just a few weeks, politics causing almost

:10:43. > :10:46.yesterday because of the tower block fire? Politicians yet again

:10:47. > :10:50.reflecting on the incredible work of the emergency services. A couple of

:10:51. > :10:55.big things still going on politically, the Government trying

:10:56. > :10:59.to stitch together a with the Democratic Unionist Party, to try to

:11:00. > :11:03.ensure they have a majority of the Conservatives plus the DUP, and the

:11:04. > :11:06.Prime Minister inviting in five political parties from Northern

:11:07. > :11:11.Ireland, one after another today, all part of the attempt to restore

:11:12. > :11:15.devolved government to Northern Ireland. Some are concerned with

:11:16. > :11:19.this idea of the Conservatives and the DUP working together, suggesting

:11:20. > :11:22.that the Government in Westminster would not be able to be impartial as

:11:23. > :11:27.far as Northern Ireland is concerned. And the Tim Farron,

:11:28. > :11:31.leader of the Liberal Democrats, is resigning, stepping down in about a

:11:32. > :11:35.month's time. You remember he got all those awkward questions during

:11:36. > :11:37.the election campaign about how he squared his Christianity with

:11:38. > :11:42.leading a party with the word liberal in the title, questions

:11:43. > :11:45.about gay sex and whether he thought it was a sin. The Liberal Democrats

:11:46. > :11:50.made some progress at the general election in terms of seats, but not

:11:51. > :11:53.a vast amount, and he has decided he cannot square leadership with these

:11:54. > :11:57.religious convictions, so we will step down in the summer, and there

:11:58. > :12:00.will be a leadership race. OK, Chris, thank you very much for the

:12:01. > :12:04.moment. Chris Mason there. President Trump

:12:05. > :12:05.is being investigated for possible obstruction of justice,

:12:06. > :12:07.according to the Washington Post. If confirmed, the move

:12:08. > :12:10.by Special Counsel Robert Mueller would mark a turning point

:12:11. > :12:12.in the FBI investigation into Russian interference in last

:12:13. > :12:15.year's presidential election. Mr Trump's lawyer

:12:16. > :12:18.has called the leak of information "outrageous, inexcusable

:12:19. > :12:24.and illegal." There's good news

:12:25. > :12:26.for mobile phone users. A European Union law to abolish

:12:27. > :12:28.roaming charges for people using mobile phones abroad

:12:29. > :12:31.comes into force today. The new rules mean that citizens

:12:32. > :12:33.travelling within the EU will be able to call,

:12:34. > :12:36.text and browse the internet on mobile devices at

:12:37. > :12:38.the same price they pay at home. But consumer group Which warns phone

:12:39. > :12:41.users could face unexpected charges if they exceed

:12:42. > :12:48.their plan allowances. The new rules mean citizens

:12:49. > :12:53.travelling within the EU will be able to call, text and browse the

:12:54. > :12:55.internet at the same price they do at home.

:12:56. > :13:01.It is a big day for all consumers across Europe, and mobile operators

:13:02. > :13:04.as well. Essentially, in simple terms, the mobile operators have

:13:05. > :13:09.been told they are not allowed to charge any extra when their

:13:10. > :13:16.customers travel to EU destinations. There is a little bit of confusion

:13:17. > :13:22.in terms of what is included. The time now is 30 minutes past eight,

:13:23. > :13:26.that brings you date with the main news, but our main focus is the

:13:27. > :13:30.aftermath of the tragic fire at Grenfell Tower in west London which

:13:31. > :13:35.has already claimed 12 lives, many people critically ill in hospital,

:13:36. > :13:40.and still many people missing as well. Charlie is in west London for

:13:41. > :13:42.us, outside the tower, taking stock, as questions are now asked about

:13:43. > :13:51.safety. Charlie. It is very sobering in the bright

:13:52. > :13:54.sunshine of a Thursday morning, looking at the wrecked carcass of

:13:55. > :13:59.the building here. I think if you look at some of the images we are

:14:00. > :14:03.seeing this morning, what has become apparent today is that there is

:14:04. > :14:09.still some smoke emerging from the building. It would appear to be from

:14:10. > :14:14.the lower levels of the building. And you can see the black and

:14:15. > :14:17.carcass of the building itself, this morning very much the focus is on

:14:18. > :14:23.those missing and still unaccounted for. So many people we have spoken

:14:24. > :14:25.to on the ground have been coming up to us, talking about those people

:14:26. > :14:30.who have yet to be accounted for. We know the police have confirmed that

:14:31. > :14:35.12 people have died so far, but it is also clear, they have made a very

:14:36. > :14:39.clear, that they expect that number to rise. We are going to get the

:14:40. > :14:42.latest from the Fire Service now, we can speak to Dany Cotton, the

:14:43. > :14:47.commissioner of the London Fire Brigade, thank you for your time at

:14:48. > :14:48.this busy time, can you update us with the latest information you

:14:49. > :14:57.have? Still some smoke coming from the

:14:58. > :15:01.building as you can see behind me, due to the fact that on the upper

:15:02. > :15:06.floors, some very small pockets of fire remaining. Due to the nature of

:15:07. > :15:09.the building at the moment, we are not sending firefighters in there

:15:10. > :15:14.because it is not structurally, you know, safe for them to go to the

:15:15. > :15:17.edges of the building. While we have been doing over night watching

:15:18. > :15:21.briefs and firefighting from inside the central part of the building, we

:15:22. > :15:26.do not want to put any firefighters at risk. There will still be some

:15:27. > :15:30.smoke coming from the building. The plan going forward for today is,

:15:31. > :15:34.along with structural layers and the local authority, I have my urban

:15:35. > :15:39.search and rescue team coming down to make an assessment of the

:15:40. > :15:46.building. To look at ways that we can shore up the building, to enable

:15:47. > :15:50.us, and the police and DVI to continue the search. 24 residential

:15:51. > :15:56.floors, how many of those have your office has been able to search so

:15:57. > :16:03.far? We have been able to do a very brief search of all floors, we have

:16:04. > :16:06.been up as far as the 24th floor. That has not extended up to the

:16:07. > :16:10.wider area of all the floors, due to the severity of the fire and all the

:16:11. > :16:14.fire debris spread across the floors, it will be a difficult and

:16:15. > :16:17.painstaking process to search through systematically. There is

:16:18. > :16:21.still a number of flaws which will require a thorough search for us to

:16:22. > :16:26.be able to make sure there are no further people involved in this

:16:27. > :16:31.fire. -- a number of flaws. But we anticipate there may be people

:16:32. > :16:36.involved in the upper floors. -- a number of floors. Tell us a little

:16:37. > :16:39.more about that, many people still so concerned about those missing and

:16:40. > :16:45.unaccounted for, what information you getting from offices inside the

:16:46. > :16:49.building? Inside the building obviously, terribly difficult, it is

:16:50. > :16:53.very difficult for people to comprehend, when they look at a

:16:54. > :16:58.building, while we cannot go in there and see it. Obviously, due to

:16:59. > :17:00.the severity of the fire and what happens in those circumstances,

:17:01. > :17:05.everything inside all of those rooms basically ends up on the floor, in

:17:06. > :17:08.large amounts of volume of staff. Combined with the amount of water in

:17:09. > :17:12.there, it becomes very difficult for officers to get in there, in order

:17:13. > :17:15.to do a systematic and proper search we need to make it safe so that a

:17:16. > :17:20.number of officers can go in there and go through it. We are aware

:17:21. > :17:23.there are people unaccounted for, obviously family and friends who are

:17:24. > :17:28.very distressed and need to know the whereabouts of their loved ones. We

:17:29. > :17:30.are doing everything we can to work as hard as we can with police and

:17:31. > :17:37.other colleagues to make that happen. Can you tell us a little

:17:38. > :17:40.more about the immediate aftermath, when officers first arrived, what

:17:41. > :17:48.were they able to do at that stage, which levels were they able to

:17:49. > :17:51.reach? Very early on in the fire, my firefighters, battled through

:17:52. > :17:56.intense heat, to reach some of the very high floors, I spoke with the

:17:57. > :18:00.crew last night, the 20th floor, they had got that far, looking for

:18:01. > :18:03.people. We specifically targeted flats where we were getting calls

:18:04. > :18:07.where we knew where people work. As the commission of the London Fire

:18:08. > :18:10.Brigade, I have to say it was a stressful and difficult time, I was

:18:11. > :18:14.looking at a building engulfed in fire, I knew that members of the

:18:15. > :18:17.public were still trapped, I was committing hundreds of firefighters

:18:18. > :18:22.into a building that to a lot of people looked terribly unsafe. My

:18:23. > :18:25.firefighters were desperate to get in there and desperate to rescue

:18:26. > :18:30.people and we committed crew after crew into a very dangerous, very hot

:18:31. > :18:35.and dangerous situation, as we have a passion to do as much as we could

:18:36. > :18:38.to rescue people in there. Very challenging, difficult and traumatic

:18:39. > :18:43.event for everyone involved. Have any of your officers been injured?

:18:44. > :18:50.We had minor injuries yesterday, up to nine of my firefighters suffered

:18:51. > :18:55.minor burns, heat exhaustion, due to the intensity in the building, and

:18:56. > :18:59.the hard work, and some slips and trips. There was debris falling

:19:00. > :19:05.everywhere. I'm more concerned longer term about the mental impact

:19:06. > :19:08.on a lot of people who were here, because this event was unprecedented

:19:09. > :19:13.and people saw and heard things on a scale they had never seen before.

:19:14. > :19:16.Going forward, one of my main concerns for firefighters is about

:19:17. > :19:21.mental well-being and doing trauma care and counselling for them. I

:19:22. > :19:24.understand the point you made about the difficult circumstances the

:19:25. > :19:29.officers are working in. The figure of those confirmed dead, the police

:19:30. > :19:33.figure, so far, 12 confirmed dead, they have warned they expect that

:19:34. > :19:40.figure to rise significantly. What more can you add to that?

:19:41. > :19:43.Unfortunately, this is the awful thing for the people involved, we

:19:44. > :19:47.are unaware of how may people are in the building, as you can appreciate,

:19:48. > :19:50.this is a very large building with a large number of people in there.

:19:51. > :19:55.Some people may have lived alone, we are not sure if they are in there

:19:56. > :19:58.way with friends and family. People who were reported missing who

:19:59. > :20:02.subsequently may have been with rest centres and hospitals. We are

:20:03. > :20:05.completely unaware of, we can only work with numbers in the local

:20:06. > :20:10.authority and police who seem to be missing. As soon as we can, we will

:20:11. > :20:13.go into the building and do the painstaking fingertip search in

:20:14. > :20:20.conjunction with the police and the TVI. -- DVI. Investigations will be

:20:21. > :20:24.ongoing but locally, we are speaking with so many people who are asking

:20:25. > :20:32.questions about why the fire spread so quickly, what can you tell us so

:20:33. > :20:35.far, from what you have seen? What I can tell you in my professional

:20:36. > :20:40.capacity is that I have never seen a fire like this in my career, the

:20:41. > :20:45.fire spread very quickly, you will appreciate, far too early to

:20:46. > :20:47.speculate about the cause of that. There will be a thorough

:20:48. > :20:51.investigation which the fire brigade will take part in and we will give

:20:52. > :20:55.professional advice too. At this moment in time, I do not want to

:20:56. > :21:00.speculate. We are still in the rescue phase of the operation,

:21:01. > :21:03.trying to identify who's missing, and trying to make sure this

:21:04. > :21:08.building is safe. That is the priority. Thank you very much for

:21:09. > :21:15.joining us today, London Fire Brigade Commissioner, giving us the

:21:16. > :21:18.latest, Dany Cotton. Talking about the building and the work of her

:21:19. > :21:23.officers. We will be here in West London throughout the remainder of

:21:24. > :21:24.the programme. Take a break from events here, we will look at the

:21:25. > :21:32.weather. Warm humid start to the day for many

:21:33. > :21:36.of us but as we had through the day, things turning fresher, a day of

:21:37. > :21:41.sunny spells and scattered showers. The fresher air is drawn in behind a

:21:42. > :21:49.cold front working in from the Atlantic. Very weak frontal system.

:21:50. > :21:54.Ringing cloud and drizzle across many parts of the country. Midlands,

:21:55. > :21:59.further south, rain petering out, a band of cloud heading east, find

:22:00. > :22:02.that, from the West, fresher air moving in, bringing showers,

:22:03. > :22:06.particularly from Northern Ireland and Scotland, much of England and

:22:07. > :22:12.Wales stays dry through into the afternoon. Plenty of sunshine across

:22:13. > :22:18.Evan and Cornwall, temperatures 17, 18 degrees. Across the south-east of

:22:19. > :22:22.England and East Anglia, 23, 20 4 degrees, early on, before things

:22:23. > :22:25.turn fresher, after the cold front through the afternoon. Patchy cloud

:22:26. > :22:29.through the Midlands, if you showers cropping up, more in the way of

:22:30. > :22:34.showers across parts of Scotland. Some sunshine in between the showers

:22:35. > :22:38.but if you catch one, could be heavy, potentially the odd rumble of

:22:39. > :22:42.thunder mixed in as well. Some is sharp showers across Northern

:22:43. > :22:46.Ireland, sharp wind in and around the shower, and the odd shower

:22:47. > :22:50.across Wales, but much of it stays dry, and in the sunshine a pleasant

:22:51. > :22:55.enough day. Through the course of the evening and overnight, most

:22:56. > :22:59.showers ease away in the north, largely dry, cloudy, drizzly rain.

:23:00. > :23:04.Temperatures will be lower than they were last night, 12 to 13 degrees,

:23:05. > :23:08.quite sticky and quite muddy overnight. Through the day tomorrow,

:23:09. > :23:11.outbreaks of rain initially for Northern Ireland, creeping in across

:23:12. > :23:17.parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland, for the rest of the UK, a

:23:18. > :23:21.dry day. More cloud than there has been, but in the sunshine, towards

:23:22. > :23:25.the south, 23, 20 4 degrees. High pressure really drives the weather

:23:26. > :23:30.as we move through Friday night, on into the weekend as well. Weather

:23:31. > :23:32.front lingering in the far north-west, high-pressure stopping

:23:33. > :23:37.them progressing across the country. A bit of rain, a bit breezy, in the

:23:38. > :23:47.far north-west, elsewhere, a dry day on Saturday, light wind, 28 degrees.

:23:48. > :23:52.-- 23, 24 degrees. Hot weather developing over the weekend, as high

:23:53. > :23:59.as 30 degrees, and a little rain in the north-west.

:24:00. > :24:04.Welcome back to west London, in the shadow of what remains of Grenfell

:24:05. > :24:08.Tower and it is worth taking a moment this morning to look at the

:24:09. > :24:12.images, as you look at it now, you can see there is still some smoke

:24:13. > :24:16.emerging from what looks like the lower floors, since the time we have

:24:17. > :24:20.been here, if anything, you would think there is a little more smoke.

:24:21. > :24:26.Images late last night in the darkness, you could see fires raging

:24:27. > :24:30.in some parts of the building. But it is a blackened structure now.

:24:31. > :24:34.Just hearing from the Fire Service about the operation ongoing, very

:24:35. > :24:38.difficult circumstances for the officers to work in, clearly, and

:24:39. > :24:44.for local people and for those in the building, desperate situation

:24:45. > :24:47.now, trying to find those missing and unaccounted for. With me now, a

:24:48. > :24:51.man who lived very close. Piers Thompson lives close

:24:52. > :25:01.by and is helping his friend I know that sometimes it sounds

:25:02. > :25:05.cliched but there is a real spirit, it is remarkable how people have

:25:06. > :25:12.rallied around. This has always been a strong community, but up against

:25:13. > :25:15.the railway and the motorway, recently the council have unveiled

:25:16. > :25:19.plans to demolish this whole area. So what was already a strong

:25:20. > :25:23.community has come together even more with big public meetings,

:25:24. > :25:27.talking to each other... Discussing the issues. I have just been

:25:28. > :25:30.speaking with one or two people, almost everyone has a connection

:25:34. > :25:38.people who lived in the building. I would like to thank Fire Brigade, on

:25:39. > :25:44.the floor, yesterday, they say the friend of -- the life of my friend,

:25:45. > :25:49.he was stumbling around in the dark. -- they saved the life of my friend.

:25:50. > :25:54.One family lives over there, their mum lives there in the tower. The

:25:55. > :25:58.way the town will work, people were in and out of people's flats the

:25:59. > :26:00.whole time, that is one of the problems that people have had, they

:26:01. > :26:07.do not quite know where people were, in the building. But it is a strong

:26:08. > :26:11.community, and we keep having external pressures bringing us

:26:12. > :26:15.together. This is the last straw. One of the things I have noticed, in

:26:16. > :26:19.among the awful things happening, does not seem like much but so much

:26:20. > :26:24.debris, around, in your garden near, I noticed it, pieces of charcoal,

:26:25. > :26:29.which experts are telling us are bits of the cladding. They have

:26:30. > :26:34.fallen from the building. That is the insulation. Looks like a fake

:26:35. > :26:39.volcano erupted and there is policy director love everywhere. That is

:26:40. > :26:45.obviously terrible. -- and there is polystyrene lava everywhere. We will

:26:46. > :26:50.have a tragic roll of the people, people who did not make it out of

:26:51. > :26:54.the building. -- tragic roll call. This community is going to be

:26:55. > :26:58.devastated. We will leave it there. The search for the missing and

:26:59. > :27:02.unaccounted for continues. We will have more coverage from here in West

:27:03. > :30:35.London a little bit later. Now, the news, travel and

:30:36. > :30:40.Welcome back to West London, if we show you the images against the

:30:41. > :30:43.bright blue skies this morning, Grenfell Tower, the scene of the

:30:44. > :30:47.dreadful fire in which it has been confirmed that 12 people died, and

:30:48. > :30:51.you can see this morning as we look at the tower, there is still some

:30:52. > :30:56.smoke emerging from what looks like the lower floors of the building. In

:30:57. > :31:01.terms of the numbers, we know that the police are saying there are

:31:02. > :31:14.likely to be many more fatalities in the fire itself,

:31:15. > :31:17.65 people rescued by the Fire Service, we had an update in the

:31:18. > :31:19.last few minutes from Dany Cotton, the Commissioner of the London Fire

:31:20. > :31:20.Brigade. Many people so concerned about those missing and as yet

:31:21. > :31:25.unaccounted for. We have been able to do a very brief

:31:26. > :31:29.search of all fours, we have been up to the 24th floor but that has not

:31:30. > :31:32.extended out across all floors and due to the severity of the fire and

:31:33. > :31:36.the amount of fire debris spread across those flaws, it will be a

:31:37. > :31:39.very difficult and painstaking process to search through

:31:40. > :31:43.systematically, so there are still a number of flaws that will require a

:31:44. > :31:45.thorough search for us to be able to make sure there are no further

:31:46. > :31:53.people involved in this buyer. Those searches on going, that is

:31:54. > :31:58.Dany Cotton, the commission of the fire brigade. We asked if she could

:31:59. > :32:01.shed any more light on whether there may be more fatalities and she said

:32:02. > :32:06.that, in these awful circumstances, they were not able to do that

:32:07. > :32:09.because of the conditions that officers are working in, so the

:32:10. > :32:15.figures we have at the moment remain the same while their work goes on.

:32:16. > :32:20.Andy Moore, our correspondent, is with me. You have been here since

:32:21. > :32:24.the beginning, London Fire Brigade talking about the circumstances they

:32:25. > :32:29.are working in, how hard it has been to work both initially and now

:32:30. > :32:34.within the building? Yes, I was here from about 2am

:32:35. > :32:39.yesterday morning when the block was completely ablaze, and we now know

:32:40. > :32:42.that, even at that stage, firefighters were inside that

:32:43. > :32:47.building. I couldn't conceive of anybody being alive inside the

:32:48. > :32:50.building at any stage but we know that firefighters with breathing

:32:51. > :32:54.apparatus were going inside, trying to rescue people, and they have been

:32:55. > :32:58.doing that all along. They are in there now trying to get, they

:32:59. > :33:01.managed to get even to the top floor, they say they have managed to

:33:02. > :33:10.get to the top floor but have not been able to thoroughly searched the

:33:11. > :33:12.entire building to find all the casualties, they said that will be a

:33:13. > :33:15.very long, complex process. There were fears yesterday night the

:33:16. > :33:18.building would collapse, we all saw the images of the towers collapsing

:33:19. > :33:23.at 9/11, I saw the building alight and I certainly thought it might

:33:24. > :33:26.collapse at any stage, now we know there were firefighters in there

:33:27. > :33:31.trying to rescue people. Indeed, Dany Cotton saying a small

:33:32. > :33:34.number of them did need medical assistants, presumably because of

:33:35. > :33:38.smoke inhalation and other issues. You have been spending time here

:33:39. > :33:42.talking to people this morning, in amongst these dreadful situations,

:33:43. > :33:53.the search for the missing and those unaccounted for,

:33:54. > :33:56.continues. The way this community has reacted is extraordinary, you

:33:57. > :33:59.can see just over that, as you look around, piles of things that people

:34:00. > :34:01.have left on walls outside houses with notes said, please help

:34:02. > :34:03.yourself. It is a real feature of what has happened here.

:34:04. > :34:06.Yes, I have been at the basketball court a few hundred yards away and

:34:07. > :34:10.it is full of donations, bags that have not been opened yet, people are

:34:11. > :34:14.trying to go through it, sorting out children's clothes, there are dozens

:34:15. > :34:18.of pairs of shoes, gallons of water that has been donated. People have

:34:19. > :34:22.been incredibly generous, but I think the message this morning is,

:34:23. > :34:26.you have done a fantastic job, thank you very much for what you have

:34:27. > :34:30.given us, I know Breakfast viewers have been calling insane, what can

:34:31. > :34:35.we do, where can we take donations? I think the message this morning is,

:34:36. > :34:38.we have got enough, thank you very much, perhaps consider helping in

:34:39. > :34:42.some other way, perhaps a cash donation would be useful.

:34:43. > :34:46.Worth mentioning in amongst the compassion shown by some people

:34:47. > :34:50.there is a real sense of anger about those outstanding questions, about

:34:51. > :34:54.why the fire spread so quickly, why people were given advice to stay

:34:55. > :35:00.when possibly they should have tried to get out themselves?

:35:01. > :35:03.Yes, certainly, the BBC was standing here yesterday lunchtime conducting

:35:04. > :35:05.an interview with the head of the local council and after that

:35:06. > :35:09.interview was finished some people were shouting, there is blood on

:35:10. > :35:13.your hands. Certainly a lot of people are blaming the local council

:35:14. > :35:17.who, in the end, are the owners of the building, and the management

:35:18. > :35:22.company that run it, there were a lot of complaints over the years,

:35:23. > :35:26.people very angry, especially about this cladding, this insulating

:35:27. > :35:29.material that seems to have caused so many problems in this building.

:35:30. > :35:49.We know it has been used in hundreds,

:35:50. > :35:51.maybe thousands of buildings around the world, people now I think will

:35:52. > :35:53.have to reconsider what we do with that cladding.

:35:54. > :35:56.It may be fire resistant but if sufficient heat is applied then it

:35:57. > :35:58.does go up in flames. You and I have both noticed everywhere you walk

:35:59. > :36:01.around here there are little bits. These are the bits, it is like

:36:02. > :36:03.charcoal, really flimsy, it just breaks away when you touch it.

:36:04. > :36:06.It is almost the consistency of polystyrene ceiling tiles, and this

:36:07. > :36:08.is the insulating material that may be between boards, fire resistant

:36:09. > :36:10.boards, you can see it is black throughout, it has burned

:36:11. > :36:14.throughout, floated down from the building. This is the kind of

:36:15. > :36:21.material that is being blamed for spreading the fire so quickly. The

:36:22. > :36:26.company that did the work, they say it was in compliance with all the

:36:27. > :36:30.regulations and standards, and the company that carried out the work on

:36:31. > :36:36.the panels, they said there is no evidence at the moment, no

:36:37. > :36:39.convincing evidence, that the panels were to blame for the fire

:36:40. > :36:44.spreading, but certainly that is what a lot of people who live there

:36:45. > :36:45.believe this sort of stuff was to blame for the fire spreading so

:36:46. > :36:48.quickly. Thank you very much, for the time

:36:49. > :36:52.being. That is all from us for the moment,

:36:53. > :36:55.we have been here at the scene of the fire throughout the morning and

:36:56. > :36:59.the images remain, every time you look at it, they still stop you in

:37:00. > :37:03.your tracks, many people just passing by, stopping, looking for a

:37:04. > :37:06.moment and thinking of those missing and, as yet, for.

:37:07. > :37:14.Charlie, thanks very much. There have been questions about

:37:15. > :37:17.safety, how the blaze managed to spread so quickly.

:37:18. > :37:24.The Prime Minister has promised a "proper investigation"

:37:25. > :37:30.into the fire which engulfed Grenfell Tower.

:37:31. > :37:33.Earlier we spoke to the Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Fire

:37:34. > :37:34.Safety rescue Group and Conservative MP Sir David Amess.

:37:35. > :37:39.We have made countless speeches saying that Brinker should be

:37:40. > :37:44.fitted. It is absolute madness that it is mandatory for sprinklers to

:37:45. > :37:47.automatically be fitted in all new school buildings and it is

:37:48. > :37:52.impossible to put any amount of money on someone's life, so it isn't

:37:53. > :37:57.just this minister or the minister before, it has been very, very

:37:58. > :37:59.frustrating and it has taken a tragedy like this now to get some

:38:00. > :38:07.attention. John Healey is the shadow Housing

:38:08. > :38:12.Minister and joins us from Westminster. We spoke to said David

:38:13. > :38:15.Namath earlier in his role as a child the committee and an MP and

:38:16. > :38:21.what he made a point of saying is that these problems, the lack of

:38:22. > :38:24.changes to regulations, installation of sprinklers, etc, this has gone

:38:25. > :38:28.back years and years and years. Labour needs to take as much

:38:29. > :38:35.responsibility for in action as much as the Conservatives. I don't accept

:38:36. > :38:39.that, but as we consider these wider questions we have to bear in mind it

:38:40. > :38:42.is still desperately difficult down there at Grenfell Tower, many people

:38:43. > :38:45.are still missing, there are still flames in parts of the building and

:38:46. > :38:49.the firefighters still have not reached all part of that building so

:38:50. > :38:54.we have to bear that in mind. As far as our record as a Labour Government

:38:55. > :38:58.goes, we brought in regulations requiring all new tower blocks to

:38:59. > :39:03.have sprinkler systems fitted, we overhauled the guidance for

:39:04. > :39:07.assessing the risk and when we had a similar fire in Camberwell we had a

:39:08. > :39:11.review done within a month of that fire reporting back to ministers and

:39:12. > :39:16.published, so it is a good thing that Theresa May has ordered this

:39:17. > :39:22.review. It needs to be done without delay and report for the summer but

:39:23. > :39:25.most important, like others have said, they can start to act now on

:39:26. > :39:28.the recommendations that were there in the cauldron of support that they

:39:29. > :39:33.have had for over four years so they can start by installing sprinklers

:39:34. > :39:37.in the high risk blocks, the highest rise blocks. They can overhaul the

:39:38. > :39:42.building regulations as they promised to do four years ago and

:39:43. > :39:45.they can make sure people do have clear advice and information when

:39:46. > :39:52.they live in high-rise blocks like this about what to do when there is

:39:53. > :39:54.a fire. You brought up the tragic fire which killed six people in

:39:55. > :40:03.Camberwell in September 2000 and nine. Shortly after that there were

:40:04. > :40:07.reassurances asked for from the Labour Government that changes be

:40:08. > :40:12.made. You said you put in regulation for the new tower blocks, that still

:40:13. > :40:16.left tower blocks like Grenfell Tower, which was built in 1974,

:40:17. > :40:21.without those safety measures. Why were they not considered as

:40:22. > :40:25.important. We brought in those regulations in 2006, the coroner's

:40:26. > :40:30.report after Lakanal House in Camberwell, the terrible fire that

:40:31. > :40:34.claimed six lives, came in the spring of 2013, it was then the

:40:35. > :40:36.Government said first of all that they would overhaul the building

:40:37. > :40:41.regulations, and we are still waiting. Secondly they rejected out

:40:42. > :40:56.of hand even encouraging the retrofitting of these sprinkler

:40:57. > :40:59.systems in other high-rise blocks. They should act on those

:41:00. > :41:01.recommendations, it has been on the table for four years, they should

:41:02. > :41:04.start now in those high-rise blocks which are highest risk, there is no

:41:05. > :41:06.reason now not to start installing those sprinkler systems and starting

:41:07. > :41:08.the job of overhauling peace building regulations. This is the

:41:09. > :41:10.Bible the industry, designers, constructors, people who maintain,

:41:11. > :41:13.landlords, all views were looking after these sorts of properties.

:41:14. > :41:21.John Healy, thank you very much for joining us.

:41:22. > :41:24.The Metropolitan Police have said about emergency number for anyone

:41:25. > :41:28.concerned about friends or family at Grenfell Tower. The number is 0800

:41:29. > :41:37.0961 233. Theresa May will meet political

:41:38. > :41:39.parties from Northern Ireland She'll discuss plans to restore

:41:40. > :41:43.power-sharing at Stormont, and try to allay growing concerns

:41:44. > :41:46.about her attempt to secure the backing of Democratic Unionist

:41:47. > :41:49.MPs in parliament. President Trump is being

:41:50. > :41:56.investigated for possible obstruction of justice,

:41:57. > :42:00.according to the Washington Post. If confirmed, the move

:42:01. > :42:03.by Special Counsel Robert Mueller would mark a turning point

:42:04. > :42:05.in the FBI investigation into Russian interference in last

:42:06. > :42:07.year's presidential election. Mr Trump's lawyer has called

:42:08. > :42:09.the leak of information "outrageous, The days of coming home

:42:34. > :42:37.will be scrapped so whatever deal you are on in the UK is what you

:42:42. > :42:44.other words, you should not get that message saying you will be charged

:42:51. > :42:51.are some caveats, as always. If you are on an unlimited data plan it

:43:08. > :43:10.travel and spend a lot of time in the EU, if you spend more time in

:43:11. > :43:14.other countries than the UK, you need to be careful with that because

:43:15. > :43:17.what the mobile providers are saying is your predominant tone has to be

:43:27. > :43:31.was and on the whole it will mean you shouldn't come back, like Mike

:43:54. > :43:59.Steph, thank you very much. You will answer the questions about what is

:44:00. > :44:02.going on in the cricket? Not what England had planned, they

:44:03. > :44:04.were the favourites to win the champions Trophy but they are out,

:44:05. > :44:12.so questions are being asked. The England cricket captain has

:44:13. > :44:15.denied there was any complacency from his side

:44:16. > :44:16.after they were heavily beaten by Pakistan,

:44:17. > :44:18.in the Champions Trophy semi-final. They went into the match undefeated

:44:19. > :44:21.and as strong favourites, but Eoin Morgan's side

:44:22. > :44:23.were comprehensively outplayed by Pakistan,

:44:24. > :44:24.who won by eight wickets. They will play either Bangladesh

:44:25. > :44:30.or India in Sunday's final. We played against some really good

:44:31. > :44:33.sides recently and we've That hasn't gone

:44:34. > :44:38.to our heads at all. In today's game, going in knowing

:44:39. > :44:44.we would play on a used wicket potentially brought Pakistan's game

:44:45. > :44:48.closer to their home. Southampton are looking

:44:49. > :44:50.for a new manager, after sacking The Frenchman had spent just one

:44:51. > :44:55.season at St Mary's, but during that time guided

:44:56. > :44:58.the Saints to the League Cup Final, where they were narrowly beaten

:44:59. > :45:01.by Manchester United, and he helped them to finish

:45:02. > :45:03.a respectable eighth The US Open golf, gets under way

:45:04. > :45:12.in Wisconsin, this afternoon. Much of the pre-tournament talk,

:45:13. > :45:16.has been about the punishing rough, with long grass surrounding

:45:17. > :45:18.many of the fairways. Organisers took the unusual step

:45:19. > :45:22.of cutting some of it back. Look at that grass, come up to my

:45:23. > :45:29.waist, I would have thought. 3,000 athletes from over 200 nations

:45:30. > :45:33.are descending on London this summer It will be the last chance,

:45:34. > :45:37.to see stars of the track Usain Bolt and Mo Farah,

:45:38. > :45:42.run competitively - on the track, at least,

:45:43. > :45:44.they will be hanging Let's take a look at some

:45:45. > :46:00.of the highlights. Usain Bolt! He's done it! Semenuk's

:46:01. > :46:06.the champion! It's a new British record! It's a mammoth jump! New

:46:07. > :46:17.world record! Raina Sophie Hitchen, what an effort! It is huge! A new

:46:18. > :46:26.British record! She is going to win the world title! A beautiful jump!

:46:27. > :46:33.Laura Muir now, she has smashed the British record! Mo Farah wins the

:46:34. > :46:37.gold! It gives you goose bumps, so does this position, it is a bit

:46:38. > :46:41.lumpy on the sofa. I can't remember a time we have had so many football

:46:42. > :46:44.world champions and record holders on the sofa.

:46:45. > :46:47.We are joined in the studio by three former track and field world

:46:48. > :46:49.champions and record holders, Colin Jackson, Sally Gunnell

:46:50. > :46:57.Identity now we have is enough time to talk to you! Lovat crack on then,

:46:58. > :47:01.I suppose will stop Sally, what has been the impact and the legacy of Mo

:47:02. > :47:06.Farah and Usain Bolt in particular at this difficult time for the sport

:47:07. > :47:13.as a whole, have they saved it, even? I think it is enormous, to

:47:14. > :47:17.have two massive personalities and with Bolt, his last ever race will

:47:18. > :47:20.be at the World Championships and the sport will miss him. But at the

:47:21. > :47:24.same time, he's unique at what he has done. He is an amazing character

:47:25. > :47:27.and what he has brought to the sport. Yes, he will stay within the

:47:28. > :47:32.sport, but we will probably never find somebody like him. We shouldn't

:47:33. > :47:35.be trying to replace him, he is a one-off. I have never known all the

:47:36. > :47:39.years I have been involved in athletics a character like him, and

:47:40. > :47:42.hopefully with mower, we might not see on the track but we will see him

:47:43. > :47:50.on the road, so yes, the sport will miss him. How much from all of your

:47:51. > :47:56.experiences from retiring as great athletes, how much will they missed

:47:57. > :47:58.the sport? I think hugely. Usain himself loves entertaining, so he

:47:59. > :48:03.will try to fill that void doing something else. He is highly

:48:04. > :48:05.talented, I'll be honest. I have seen him do Semenuk things from

:48:06. > :48:09.acting the musical stuff as well, so he will find his outlet somewhere. I

:48:10. > :48:15.will certainly misses performances on the track but we won't see the

:48:16. > :48:19.last of him. I think he is probably ready to retire, the pressure of

:48:20. > :48:24.being at the top since 2008 when he burst on the scene at Beijing, his

:48:25. > :48:29.body I think is falling apart. I do think he is a Big Train. LAUGHTER

:48:30. > :48:35.I don't think he will miss all those hard sessions with Coach mills, as

:48:36. > :48:38.he calls him, but he is an entertainer, and he happens to be a

:48:39. > :48:42.very fast athlete. I think he is ready to retire and move onto the

:48:43. > :48:48.next age of whatever life holds forth Usain Bolt. Probably not

:48:49. > :48:56.Manchester United though. LAUGHTER I can vouch for the fact he can

:48:57. > :49:02.dance. You gave him that move? If I helped him, before he was known at

:49:03. > :49:05.all. So let's look at London, a fitting place to say goodbye and

:49:06. > :49:08.what an important time, given all the terrible things that have

:49:09. > :49:13.happened, for London to be staging this and rolling back the memories

:49:14. > :49:17.of 2012. And that is what we are all hoping for, I'm sure we will. Today

:49:18. > :49:21.we have another 60,000 tickets going on sale. That is a demand, the

:49:22. > :49:25.tickets for the World Championships have almost sold out, so that is why

:49:26. > :49:28.they are releasing another lot. The Paras, there are still tickets to

:49:29. > :49:33.get hold of but that has already been the most successful ticket

:49:34. > :49:37.sales for any World Championships. That is key and important. That is

:49:38. > :49:40.what we want to do. Where we have so many great performers coming

:49:41. > :49:44.forward, there is a new generation, and we want to feel that real buzz

:49:45. > :49:48.of a family coming together and enjoying that track every night. You

:49:49. > :49:53.say a new generation yet you said that when the one as great as Usain

:49:54. > :49:57.Bolt, that's not very fair, is it? You will still see great

:49:58. > :49:59.performances, that is the key. As an athletics fan I am looking forward

:50:00. > :50:04.to seeing some great athletic performances. I don't think we

:50:05. > :50:07.should really look for another Usain, personally, because he is

:50:08. > :50:09.outstanding in any sport, weather track and field or football or

:50:10. > :50:15.anything, he is an outstanding character. I think this

:50:16. > :50:18.Championships is important for UK Athletics was that there are

:50:19. > :50:22.problems behind the scene, talks about public credibility, changing

:50:23. > :50:26.the world records perhaps, so I think the London 2017, it has a

:50:27. > :50:29.really important part to play in the element of athletics. Without

:50:30. > :50:34.question he will struggle without Usain Bolt, he has carried the sport

:50:35. > :50:38.on his shoulders. Great athletics, great new stars is really important

:50:39. > :50:42.for the next age of the element of the sport. I know Sebastian Coe who

:50:43. > :50:45.is here from the IAAF will say exactly the same. If you look back

:50:46. > :50:50.to Rio last year, it wasn't brilliant for athletics, the stadium

:50:51. > :50:53.was in full, so London 2017 has a really important part to play in the

:50:54. > :51:01.sport's developer in. How much does it feel different winning a World

:51:02. > :51:06.Championships to an Olympic gold? It is different. Once every four years

:51:07. > :51:12.as opposed to once every two years makes a big difference, and Dylan

:51:13. > :51:17.picks does have that cachet. But nonetheless, the atmosphere for 2017

:51:18. > :51:23.will be incredible, without any question. Recognise this? Oh yes. I

:51:24. > :51:29.remember watching this performance in a cafe, I actually wasn't in the

:51:30. > :51:32.stadium. If you said to me, in your career what was the exciting moment,

:51:33. > :51:37.it would be this, not winning the Olympics. Although the pressure on

:51:38. > :51:40.the Olympics, it is so great. I think mine was the Olympics, I think

:51:41. > :51:45.it is because you dream about it from a very young girl and everyone

:51:46. > :51:49.knows the Olympics, whereas the worlds doesn't have that history

:51:50. > :51:53.behind it. It is every two years. Jonathan Briggs the world record, I

:51:54. > :51:58.broke the world record, to me at a store that Olympic title. And Colin

:51:59. > :52:01.broke world record in the World Championships as well. I remember

:52:02. > :52:05.this race as well, I remember how poorly you the night before. Sally

:52:06. > :52:08.was in a bad state in the cafe, I remember we were sitting and

:52:09. > :52:11.chatting away about it, her eyes were streaming and everything, I was

:52:12. > :52:16.like, you'll be all right tomorrow, and you were! Still in shock, I

:52:17. > :52:21.probably learned more about my self in that race, it's amazing. I think

:52:22. > :52:25.it is just the excitement that we are here in London, and it is

:52:26. > :52:28.summer, we are going to hold a World Championships. Thank you so much

:52:29. > :52:34.coming in. Can't wait for it all to start. Let's hope it is more popular

:52:35. > :52:38.than the last set of Olympics. The ticket sales are great both of the

:52:39. > :52:42.World Championships and the power athletics as well. We have been for

:52:43. > :52:44.the anniversary game is quite a view time since 2012 and they have all

:52:45. > :52:51.been really good. Thank you the joining us. It is 852. Do you want

:52:52. > :52:56.to do this bit? The weather with Sarah? Let's have a look. It was a

:52:57. > :52:59.warm humid night last night and for many of us quite a murky start to

:53:00. > :53:07.the Davis Cup as we have through the day, things will stop to feel a bit

:53:08. > :53:10.-- a muggy start to the day. It is this cold front that will be

:53:11. > :53:14.introducing the fresh air, moving in from the Atlantic. As that slowly

:53:15. > :53:19.shifts its way from West to East, we will draw in that westerly breeze.

:53:20. > :53:22.On the front, not much rain, a few spots for Northern Ireland out of

:53:23. > :53:27.the Midlands, mainly a band of cloud as it shifts across southern England

:53:28. > :53:30.into East Anglia too. From the north-west, plenty of showers moving

:53:31. > :53:34.in on that westerly breeze, whereas further south we are expecting

:53:35. > :53:38.things to stay largely dry. This is 4pm. Across the south-west of Inler

:53:39. > :53:42.income 17, 18 degrees, a little cooler than recent days, slightly

:53:43. > :53:46.fresher too across the south-east, but quite warm and muggy for the

:53:47. > :53:50.first part of the day before that cold front shifts is Woods. A bit

:53:51. > :53:53.more patchy cloud through the Midlands and northern England, where

:53:54. > :53:56.we are likely to see the odd shower. More frequent showers across parts

:53:57. > :53:59.of Scotland. Sunny intervals between but if you catch some of the showers

:54:00. > :54:05.as they push eastwards across Scotland, could be the odd rumble of

:54:06. > :54:07.thunder. Some sharp showers across Northern Ireland with some gusty

:54:08. > :54:10.winds and temperatures in the mid to high teens. You can catch one or two

:54:11. > :54:14.passing showers across the far north of Wales but for much of Wales, it

:54:15. > :54:18.stays dry in that sunshine. Through the evening hours for many of us, a

:54:19. > :54:22.dry bright into the day. Overnight, the showers in the north Kent is

:54:23. > :54:25.away a time, a bit more cloud and patchy rain into Northern Ireland

:54:26. > :54:28.through the early hours of Friday. First thing tomorrow morning, the

:54:29. > :54:32.average is around 12 or 13 typically. Certainly more

:54:33. > :54:35.comfortable for sleeping, not quite as muggy as it was first thing this

:54:36. > :54:39.morning. Through the day tomorrow, quite a lot of cloud across Northern

:54:40. > :54:42.Ireland and Scotland with some patchy rain moving north-eastwards.

:54:43. > :54:46.Elsewhere across the country, another dry day to come, and it will

:54:47. > :54:50.feel quite worn once again. In the sunnier spells, 23 or 24 degrees.

:54:51. > :54:54.That warming trend stays with us into the weekend too. High-pressure

:54:55. > :54:58.moving in from the south, that is keeping weather fronts at bay, just

:54:59. > :55:01.a front sitting at the far north-west there. A bit of wet

:55:02. > :55:05.weather and quite breezy for the north-west of Scotland but for the

:55:06. > :55:09.rest of the country it is dry, sunny spells. Look at those temper just

:55:10. > :55:15.come out to around 28 on Saturday, moving up as we're heading into

:55:16. > :55:20.Sunday. Temptress topping at 30 degrees or so. A bit of rain to come

:55:21. > :55:30.across the far north-west. For now, back to Charlie in London.

:55:31. > :55:39.You can see the carcass of Grenfell Tower. We are spending emojis

:55:40. > :55:42.looking at the building itself. -- we are spending a few minutes

:55:43. > :55:45.looking at the building. Still some smoke emerging from what looks like

:55:46. > :55:49.the lower floors. We have watched that during the morning. The images

:55:50. > :55:53.from last night where against the dark skies you could see fire still

:55:54. > :55:56.raging from within. But it is sobering to look at it as many

:55:57. > :56:00.people pass by this morning and they take a moment and just look at what

:56:01. > :56:04.happened. The story this morning is of those missing and those as yet

:56:05. > :56:08.unaccounted for. We were speaking to Danny Cotan from the Fire Service a

:56:09. > :56:13.little earlier on. She was saying that even though fire officers have

:56:14. > :56:18.been able to go throughout the tower itself, they are unable to give

:56:19. > :56:22.people any numbers, in terms of the casualties. We now police have said

:56:23. > :56:27.12 people confirmed dead, but everyone is expecting that number to

:56:28. > :56:30.rise significantly. Many people locally have been trying to help out

:56:31. > :56:35.those who have been caught up in this crisis. Graham Satchell has

:56:36. > :56:41.been having a look at those stories for us now.

:56:42. > :56:43.It burned all day, the smoke visible for miles.

:56:44. > :56:46.On the street, people reliving what is the stuff of nightmares -

:56:47. > :56:50.the horror of seeing people jump, seeing people trapped at windows.

:56:51. > :56:53.It was terrible because I saw people, like the top floor,

:56:54. > :56:56.waving their hands, "Help," screaming for help and before

:56:57. > :56:59.we knew it the fire just engulfed that part, and you can

:57:00. > :57:07.Some of those who are missing have now been identified,

:57:08. > :57:08.including 12-year-old Jessica Urbano, who lived

:57:09. > :57:17.We met Sophie, who's 11, one of her school friends.

:57:18. > :57:21.She's still missing, she was on the news,

:57:22. > :57:24.and it's horrible for me to hear that they're missing or they're dead

:57:25. > :57:31.The grief very public, as some received terrible news.

:57:32. > :57:34.But with the grief, a truly heart-warming response.

:57:35. > :57:36.Everyone seemed to be carrying bags and boxes

:57:37. > :57:45.Churches, mosques, community centres inundated

:57:46. > :57:56.Everybody here is a volunteer, none of us know each other,

:57:57. > :57:58.we've just got stuck in and it's been fantastic,

:57:59. > :58:03.the community spirit has been really good.

:58:04. > :58:06.This a spontaneous response but, as the day wore on, a sense of anger

:58:07. > :58:08.that the local authority was nowhere to be seen.

:58:09. > :58:10.There's no-one out here, it's really just the community

:58:11. > :58:15.It's just really members of the community coordinating

:58:16. > :58:18.There is also growing anger about the fire -

:58:19. > :58:20.anger that it's poor people in a council-owned block

:58:21. > :58:27.I don't care what anyone says, there's no way that that fire

:58:28. > :58:34.should spread that quickly on a newly-refurbished building.

:58:35. > :58:35.We went as residents and said, "Look, someone

:58:36. > :58:38.needs to look at this, because there are

:58:39. > :58:40.David Collins says concerns he raised about fire

:58:41. > :58:43.safety at the tower block were brushed aside.

:58:44. > :58:45.There will have been people trapped in that tower knowing

:58:46. > :58:48.that the people that were supposed to look after them

:58:49. > :59:04.Debris from the fire is everywhere on the ground here,

:59:05. > :59:17.How could this fire have spread so quickly, and why did so many die?

:59:18. > :59:23.Graham Satchell, BBC News, West London. So many of those questions

:59:24. > :59:26.resonating with local people here. We should just give you the

:59:27. > :59:33.statements that have come from the various organisations involved.

:59:34. > :59:37.Kensington and Chelsea Management organisation who run the building

:59:38. > :59:41.say, the fire is devastating, reports of injury and loss of life

:59:42. > :59:46.are heartbreaking, we want to pay tribute to the bravery of the

:59:47. > :59:49.emergency services, members of the public to continue to selflessly do

:59:50. > :59:52.all they can. The events of last night and early this morning are a

:59:53. > :59:57.tragedy and we are doing everything we can to assist the residents of

:59:58. > :00:01.Grenfell Tower, those affected by the tragedy, that will be our

:00:02. > :00:04.immediate concern. Also from Kensington and Chelsea

:00:05. > :00:08.council, they say, we are providing emergency accommodation for those

:00:09. > :00:11.affected by the fire, our immediate priority is to accommodate the

:00:12. > :00:15.residents of Grenfell Tower and their families.

:00:16. > :00:19.Very much their focus at this stage is the families affected. Let's

:00:20. > :00:23.speak more about this now with two people closely involved in this

:00:24. > :00:29.area. The right reverend and Bishop of Kensington, who has spent the

:00:30. > :00:34.last 30 hours was also helping people locally, and Pilgrim Tucker,

:00:35. > :00:39.who was the housing officer at Grenfell Tower in 2015. There is a

:00:40. > :00:44.lot of anger in the community at the moment relating to what wasn't done

:00:45. > :00:49.as people here are seeing it. It was obvious at the time, I worked here

:00:50. > :00:53.in 2015, that the tenants were very aware of multiple problems with the

:00:54. > :00:59.building, including potential fire safety problems. I worked with that

:01:00. > :01:03.community, the tenant management just didn't listen to them, the

:01:04. > :01:08.contract it just didn't listen to the tenants' concerned, and it took

:01:09. > :01:12.some of the tenants being brave enough to protest and refuse access

:01:13. > :01:19.to the contractors into their flats to eventually get some of their

:01:20. > :01:23.problems addressed, but only for those tenants who were brave enough

:01:24. > :01:27.and able to protest. Some people we have spoken to this morning suggest

:01:28. > :01:30.it was almost like that awful line that now is not the time to be

:01:31. > :01:35.addressing those things but that is not what is protected by people who

:01:36. > :01:38.have been caught up in this? Know, the community, the people who have

:01:39. > :01:41.been directly affected are in terrible shock, but there is anger

:01:42. > :01:49.waiting to happen, they have been angry for a number of years about

:01:50. > :01:52.what was going on, their lives have just been devastated, and this was

:01:53. > :01:56.all entirely preventable. They have been warning about this for years.

:01:57. > :02:00.Bishop, you have joined us to talk about the compassion alongside that

:02:01. > :02:04.anger, sometimes it sounds very cliched but you have been talking

:02:05. > :02:08.directly to people who know people who are still unaccounted for in the

:02:09. > :02:12.building? Yes, yesterday was extraordinary in many ways, just the

:02:13. > :02:16.outpouring of compassion from so many people in the community here

:02:17. > :02:19.but your heart just goes out to people, I was speaking yesterday to

:02:20. > :02:23.a number of people gathering in one of our churches nearby, Saint

:02:24. > :02:27.Clements just around the corner from the travel, people anxious about

:02:28. > :02:38.family members, friends, wondering where they were, also a bit of news

:02:39. > :02:41.comes through that perhaps they are OK, hospital somewhere, just not

:02:42. > :02:43.knowing, we are in that phase at the moment, just not knowing where

:02:44. > :02:46.people are and that is the real anxiety for many people. Pilgrim,

:02:47. > :02:49.people who know this area well, you can see the devastation behind us

:02:50. > :02:53.but you only have to look closely and you can see a lot of other

:02:54. > :02:57.buildings here, replicated in cities across the UK, these questions are

:02:58. > :03:01.being asked about these tower block -- this tower block and relevant

:03:02. > :03:05.elsewhere. Yes, and they go right to the top, to the heart of this

:03:06. > :03:11.Government, Theresa May's chief of staff was responsible, consecutive

:03:12. > :03:16.housing ministers have ignored reports about fire safety and not

:03:17. > :03:20.implemented much-needed regulation. Those same politicians voted

:03:21. > :03:24.against, just last year, they voted against a clause in the bill which

:03:25. > :03:29.would have made homes safe for human habitation. Theresa May has said

:03:30. > :03:34.there will be a full investigation, I know that will be greeted with

:03:35. > :03:38.some scepticism by a lot of people. Bishop, if I could give you the last

:03:39. > :03:41.thought, we have seen the wall of remembrance which is just behind us

:03:42. > :03:46.there. It is sobering reading the messages there, some people

:03:47. > :03:53.obviously directly know those who have been caught up. That is right,

:03:54. > :03:56.today one of the thoughts is for those people who may get bad news

:03:57. > :04:00.today, we all know the death count will probably rise, people will get

:04:01. > :04:03.bad and so our focus as a church and those of us looking to convert

:04:04. > :04:07.people is to bring some of that comfort today as people get news.

:04:08. > :04:13.Worth bearing in mind the emergency services who spent much of

:04:14. > :04:16.yesterday, Fire Services, ambulance crews, people who have the job of

:04:17. > :04:22.going into the building and recovering bodies, many people the

:04:23. > :04:26.same who have dealt with the Manchester attacks and London Bridge

:04:27. > :04:29.attacks, three once-in-a-lifetime events in one month, our heart and

:04:30. > :04:34.thoughts go out to them as well. Thank you very much for your time,

:04:35. > :04:38.Bishop and Pilgrim. We heard earlier from the

:04:39. > :04:43.commission, the Fire Commissioner, saying that some of those fire

:04:44. > :04:47.officers who are involved in the initial rescue operation were indeed

:04:48. > :04:50.themselves needing medical assistance. We will have more from

:04:51. > :04:52.here a little later on in the morning. Now, a break for some news,

:04:53. > :06:29.travel and weather where you are. I'll be back at 1.30pm

:06:30. > :06:31.with the lunchtime news - Over the last few months on BBC

:06:32. > :06:42.Breakfast we've had to report some harrowing news,

:06:43. > :06:44.including yesterday's fire but we also wanted to bring

:06:45. > :06:53.you something else this morning. As part of the BBC's Music Day,

:06:54. > :06:57.we wanted to show you how the power of music is being used to make

:06:58. > :07:03.a difference to patients at a hospital in Manchester,

:07:04. > :07:05.and to the medical staff Our entertainment correspondent,

:07:06. > :07:21.Colin Paterson, has This is not how a hospital high

:07:22. > :07:22.dependency unit normally sounds. But at the Manchester Royal Infirmary it

:07:23. > :07:38.is becoming a regular event. Since last July, professional

:07:39. > :07:51.musicians have been brought into play for patients. And it is easy to

:07:52. > :07:54.see the sheer joy it brings. I found myself in an intensive care unit and

:07:55. > :07:59.found that experience quite traumatising. It was the high idea

:08:00. > :08:06.of Helen Ashley Taylor. Her hospital stay was transformed by a snatch of

:08:07. > :08:10.music on the TV set. That moment I felt alive again, it was

:08:11. > :08:13.transformative. I didn't feel isolated any more, I didn't think

:08:14. > :08:17.about my condition, I didn't think about pain, I didn't feel any pain,

:08:18. > :08:21.it was just quite incredible, it was lovely and it was all I could talk

:08:22. > :08:30.about when I left the hospital. Already a volunteer for music in

:08:31. > :08:33.hospitals, she decided to set up ICU Hear to take music into intensive

:08:34. > :08:40.care units, and it has proved to be a big hit. It is soothing. Music is

:08:41. > :08:45.good for you. It is making a difference. I don't want to

:08:46. > :08:49.stereotype you but you were in a motorcycle crash and you have some

:08:50. > :08:58.rather big tattoo. Are you a fan of the hard Rock? These are from a few

:08:59. > :09:03.years ago when I had a lot of her! And the staff approve of the musical

:09:04. > :09:07.accompaniment. It is quite a nice moment when the music is playing and

:09:08. > :09:11.the patient can be calm, because it is quite stressful. And to show how

:09:12. > :09:15.much music has become part of the hospital, the day after the

:09:16. > :09:19.Manchester bomb clarinettist Rachel Philpott, a regular here, helped out

:09:20. > :09:26.in the way she could, by playing in intensive care. I know that this can

:09:27. > :09:30.be quite settling for the stuff, I often have feedback saying this is

:09:31. > :09:33.what they needed, so I offered to come in if it was appropriate. One

:09:34. > :09:40.of the nurses said, this has been a horrible week and this is what we

:09:41. > :09:45.needed today. And one patient, Jacqueline, told me that having

:09:46. > :09:49.music played by her bedside could make her a whole day better. It's

:09:50. > :09:55.wonderful, it's lovely music. To me, music is really good for healing.

:09:56. > :10:04.The power of music. Just how powerful can music be? It can move

:10:05. > :10:13.mountains, can't it? And it can move people's hearts. Don't start me

:10:14. > :10:14.crying. It can do wonders. Colin Paterson, BBC News, Manchester Royal

:10:15. > :10:21.Infirmary. Wonderful hearing about the power of

:10:22. > :10:25.music as part of BBC Music Day. Let's take you back to West London,

:10:26. > :10:42.where Charlie is. We're in the shadow of Grenfell

:10:43. > :10:45.Tower year, you can see over my shoulder there the building, what

:10:46. > :10:49.remains of it, we have seen smoke emerging from some of the lower

:10:50. > :10:53.floors this morning, a very sobering sight, many people passing by just

:10:54. > :10:56.stopping and looking and taking in what has happened. We know Theresa

:10:57. > :11:01.May is due to visit the site later this morning, there has been an

:11:02. > :11:03.announcement this morning. People gathering with me for some final

:11:04. > :11:23.thoughts this morning. You have been helping those who have

:11:24. > :11:27.been turning up here. First of all our thoughts and grace to those

:11:28. > :11:30.affected in this tragic incident. Yes, it has been a big operation

:11:31. > :11:40.yesterday, we have been inundated with volunteers, we heard up with

:11:41. > :11:42.Humanity first, a community charity, and have had volunteers since

:11:43. > :11:47.yesterday morning helping with British Red Cross, with the council,

:11:48. > :11:55.liaising with all of the respite centres around the town. The spirit

:11:56. > :12:02.in the community is amazing. People are coming here for donations from

:12:03. > :12:05.as far away from Hampshire, we had volunteers throughout the night

:12:06. > :12:11.working with the authorities and local charities. If I could ask, and

:12:12. > :12:14.some of the practical questions a lot of people are asking this

:12:15. > :12:18.morning about how the fire spread so quickly, why would the instructions

:12:19. > :12:22.to stay in place? These are big issues about which people locally

:12:23. > :12:26.are very angry. Definitely, what came across yesterday and today is

:12:27. > :12:31.not just that anger but also the community spirit, as we have said.

:12:32. > :12:42.But also the question is, why did it happen, how did it happen, why did

:12:43. > :12:44.it spread so quickly, what can we learn from what happened and what

:12:45. > :12:46.are the implications for elsewhere? We need to find out very quickly and

:12:47. > :12:49.independent report, not overreact but learn very fast. We know there

:12:50. > :12:52.will be a full investigation which may be met with scepticism by people

:12:53. > :12:56.like you, this is your home. If you had seen that building go up, like I

:12:57. > :12:59.saw it from my back window, you will know that building was not fit for

:13:00. > :13:03.purpose. Somewhere along the line someone made a catastrophic error.

:13:04. > :13:07.At the moment we are breathing but there is a bubbling anger underneath

:13:08. > :13:14.and we do want to see someone held accountable for this. We want to see

:13:15. > :13:19.justice for those victims, because that was unavoidable tragedy. Thank

:13:20. > :13:22.you so much for your time this morning, that completes our coverage

:13:23. > :13:25.from West London this morning. Coverage will continue on the BBC

:13:26. > :13:33.News Channel. From everyone here, goodbye.

:13:34. > :13:36.For the first time, the Science Museum is opening its doors

:13:37. > :13:43.so you can vote for Britain's greatest invention.
