Now on BBC1, its time for the news where you are.

Good afternoon from BBC London News, I'm Victoria Hollins.

People living near Grenfell Tower say they're worried families

will lose out because of a "power vaccum" at the top of Kensington

Both the leader and deputy leader resigned yesterday -

some now fear there will be delays rehousing victims of

Although assurances have been given that they will be offered a

temporary home by Wednesday. She and her neighbours were evacuated but

this local resident has gone back home to the Lancaster Westminster

estate, right next to the Grenfell Tower.

Everyone has gone. There used to be so many noises, people having

dinner, TV, it was nice to know that there are people around. Now there

is nobody around there. Is no light, that will always... There will never

be light from this end ever again. She fears, following resignations at

Juan Ignacio Chela, there will be a power vacuum.

Now he resigned, who is taking responsibility? Who is he palming

this off to? People must be in place to manage what is going on here. It

seems like no-one is managing anything at the moment. Been

disaster's father is a former deputy Mayor of the borough he believes

that there should be firm guidance. There should be somebody from the

top to show them that this is in reality temporary accommodation and

give them a timeline within four, six, ten weeks, you will be rehoused

nearby, in your community where you belong.

Local people here are still grieving and are still angry. No matter what

the political fallout from the resignations, they need urgent help

in terms of rehousing and reassurance they will not be pushed

out from this area. Police have released footage

of what they've described as a "devastating" robbery on a 92

year old woman. She was followed as she walked down

a street in Hackney on Tuesday. Her attacker grabbed her handbag

and she was dragged along the floor. Police say the pensioner suffered

"devastating psycological trauma". A controversial boxing match

will take place at the O2 Bareknuckle boxing has often been

regarded as secretive and bloody. But one competitor from Slough says

he hopes tonight's event will help prove the sport can be legitimate

and popular - others say Stan's only been a bare

knuckle boxer for nine There's a lot of professional boxing

promoters that can't get the O2. We have this dirty secret,

we're fighting at the O2. Of course, all boxing started bear

knuckle but after gloves were introduced in the 1890s, it spent

a long time in the wilderness. For decades, barenuckle boxing has

enjoyed a rather dark reputation. I don't think anyone

here would disagree with that. When you think of it,

you think of secretive, unlicensed, bloody affairs

with very few rules. But now the fight is on to make it

not only legitimate but a Putting on 14 matches at one

of the country's top venues is a watershed moment but the big

question is, is it safe? Our medical provisions

are exactly the same as the British board of

boxing coal and we've the British board of boxing coal

and we've also got a red towel that our doctor can throw

into the ring at any time to have a look

at The British Board of

Boxing Control provides medical care, tests, background

checks, and it's... Approved by the government.

This is a tough, dangerous sport. There are many people who want the

sport banned. I'm surprised that is venue sup as the O2 want bareknuckle

boxing but that's up to them. We can't stop them.

Adele has cancelled the last two concerts of her tour

at Wembley Stadium, saying she's damaged her vocal cords.

The singer was due to perform at Wembley tonight and tomorrow
