:04:42. > :04:44.and what they fear. The building itself
:04:45. > :04:47.is in a very hazardous state. It is going to take a period of time

:06:25. > :06:28.to my colleague Emily Maitliss and insisted the government
:06:29. > :06:41.was doing everything it could. We are committed to rehousing
:06:42. > :06:46.people. Some people may want to go to another borough where they have
:06:47. > :06:49.support. But we went to make sure that within three weeks were people
:06:50. > :06:57.will be rehoused and they have a home to goes to. Do you except that
:06:58. > :07:01.you misread the mood, the anger, you didn't meet residents are resented
:07:02. > :07:05.that? This was a terrible tragedy that took place. People have lost
:07:06. > :07:11.their lives and others have lost everything. All their possessions,
:07:12. > :07:14.their home, and everything. What we are doing is putting in place the
:07:15. > :07:19.support that would help them. That it is a
:07:20. > :07:26.-- terrible tragedy. I have heard reports from the fire brigade, the
:07:27. > :07:30.police and the victims in the tower themselves. But also from other
:07:31. > :07:34.residents, some of them have not been able to go back to their homes
:07:35. > :07:40.either. What was the response? What I am now absolutely focused on is
:07:41. > :07:43.ensuring they get that support on the ground. The government is making
:07:44. > :07:48.money available, we are ensuring we will get to the bottom of what has
:07:49. > :07:49.happened. We will ensure people are rehoused, but we need to make sure
:07:50. > :08:15.that that actually happens. My colleague Ian Watson joins us
:08:16. > :08:18.from London. What did Theresa May say? She didn't answer that
:08:19. > :08:21.directly, she talked about the practical thing she was doing. She
:08:22. > :08:26.did say in the interview that this was a terrible tragedy and we all
:08:27. > :08:30.affected but people weren't just for practical messages, they were
:08:31. > :08:33.looking for empathy. She said the priority was to meet the emergency
:08:34. > :08:39.services as she did yesterday in a private meeting, nonetheless he did
:08:40. > :08:41.not meet the residents directly, that I think aloud a gap for her
:08:42. > :08:44.opponents to suggest she was lacking in sympathy for some of the
:08:45. > :08:50.resident. She was not listening to the concerns. And by the time she
:08:51. > :08:56.did meet the residents outside the church where she met some victims
:08:57. > :09:00.and the victims two families, she was met with cries of coward and
:09:01. > :09:06.shame on you. For a Prime Minister have just come out of a election
:09:07. > :09:09.with a reduced number of MPs in Parliament, would a week in hand, if
:09:10. > :09:17.you like, it wasn't desperately helpful to have the past 24 hours
:09:18. > :09:21.focusing on her again her character, her ability to keep in step with the
:09:22. > :09:27.mood of the country, not necessarily the inability to deal quickly with a
:09:28. > :09:35.totally. We have -- with a tragedy. We have seen the anger of people we
:09:36. > :09:39.-- who want answers. It will be such a difficult process in getting the
:09:40. > :09:45.information they need? Dart things here. What Mrs May was trying to do
:09:46. > :09:49.was trying to start the process of finding the truth. There will be a
:09:50. > :09:53.public enquiry led by the judiciary, an independent enquiry into what
:09:54. > :09:57.happened. In terms of references for that enquiry, not yet drawn up, can
:09:58. > :10:02.be interest to limit the influence by the tenants and residents of the
:10:03. > :10:08.area affected so they can have a say over what the enquiry should look
:10:09. > :10:13.at. But they want answers now about their last relatives, feared dead.
:10:14. > :10:16.They want how many people have died, answers on how quickly and where
:10:17. > :10:21.there might be rehoused. She suggested the local area, they were
:10:22. > :10:25.worried they might be moved out of the area and the community. Those
:10:26. > :10:29.are pressing questions, they say they have not been answered. There
:10:30. > :10:33.is a great deal of anger and frustration spilling over, this is
:10:34. > :10:40.getting a bit wider now. There are demonstrations going past ten
:10:41. > :10:45.Downing St, to Oxford Street, the main shopping street of London, the
:10:46. > :10:47.headquarters of the BBC. There's a feeling that something that had
:10:48. > :10:52.started as a desperate tragedy, there are now bigger questions about
:10:53. > :10:55.how people are treated in this country, the gap between rich and
:10:56. > :10:59.poor, a bigger political time is not just for the Prime Minister that all
:11:00. > :11:03.political parties in Britain. Ian Watson, thank you for the time
:11:04. > :11:11.being. That protest has now moved on. We'll have much more coverage of
:11:12. > :11:12.the West London tower block fire from 9:30pm local time, the viewers
:11:13. > :11:17.in the UK. President Trump has announced that
:11:18. > :11:19.he's cancelling what he's called his predecessor's one-sided
:11:20. > :11:21.deal with Cuba. At a ceremony with the
:11:22. > :11:23.Cuban-American community in Miami, he signed what he described
:11:24. > :11:25.as a commitment to strengthen the policy
:11:26. > :11:28.of the United States towards Cuba. He said that easing restrictions
:11:29. > :11:30.on travel and trade only enriched the Cuban regime and did not
:11:31. > :11:44.help the Cuban people. The profits from investment and
:11:45. > :11:51.tourism flow directly to the military. The regime takes the money
:11:52. > :11:56.and owns the industry. The outcome of last administration's executive
:11:57. > :12:03.action has been owned the more profession and a move -- more
:12:04. > :12:06.repression and a move to crush the peaceful democratic movement. So
:12:07. > :12:09.effective immediately, I am cancelling the last administration's
:12:10. > :12:22.completely one-sided deal with Cuba. President from speaking to some of
:12:23. > :12:35.the Cuban-American community in Miami. We spoke to will grant in
:12:36. > :12:39.Havana. That is what stood out to me, we knew he would break with the
:12:40. > :12:43.Obama policy, reimposing restrictions that have been eased by
:12:44. > :12:49.his predecessor. But it was just the degree to which he ramped up the
:12:50. > :12:55.rhetoric that stood out to us in Cuba. This was speaking about the
:12:56. > :13:00.government as a dictatorship, attacking the military as milking
:13:01. > :13:05.the tourism dollars that were coming into Cuba, it was heavy on human
:13:06. > :13:09.rights, he challenged keeper to lay out as he put it, a better deal.
:13:10. > :13:14.Despite all the noise, if you look at exactly what was said, he has not
:13:15. > :13:20.rolled back completely on the Obama era policies. Thus on certain
:13:21. > :13:24.elements. Specifically, to do with travel, and trade so that US
:13:25. > :13:29.companies can't work with the commercial wing of the Cuban
:13:30. > :13:34.military. But things still will continue as they were in terms of,
:13:35. > :13:39.for example, direct flights to Cuba from the United States. Don't go
:13:40. > :13:45.away, we will go to Washington now and Barbara Joyce us. We were
:13:46. > :13:51.expecting this but as we'll was saying, a stronger rhetoric than
:13:52. > :13:55.perhaps we have anticipated? President Trump had promised a
:13:56. > :13:59.certain constituency, Cuban-American hardliners in Miami, that he would
:14:00. > :14:04.do this. They are the minority, actually, in that community now,
:14:05. > :14:07.over time there has been much greater openness to a did
:14:08. > :14:19.it was to them he was speaking. He spoke to them in Miami. These are
:14:20. > :14:24.their views about the Castro regime. He was influenced by hardline
:14:25. > :14:31.Cuban-American lawmakers, especially Senator Marco Rubio. He went with
:14:32. > :14:34.that rhetoric, painting the regime and very black colours, making this
:14:35. > :14:40.very much a human rights issue, saying that the regime was
:14:41. > :14:48.oppressing people, destabilising the region, and that it was benefiting
:14:49. > :14:52.from the results of President Obama 's's detente and that they would
:14:53. > :14:56.change it in that way but we'll is right, the actual changes were not
:14:57. > :15:02.so much a rollback but tightening some of the money to the commercial
:15:03. > :15:08.element of the military. I think what we will be looking for is that
:15:09. > :15:12.tone that he has set, that line, how that will affect the relationship
:15:13. > :15:16.with the government, I think it probably signals a return to a much
:15:17. > :15:22.more adversarial type of relationship and that is going to
:15:23. > :15:25.distress a lot of people here, the business and tourism community, and
:15:26. > :15:27.lawmakers as well. Not just about that those on the Republican side of
:15:28. > :15:43.the who are pressing for this let's point those two will. From
:15:44. > :15:46.those who want a transparent process, political parties to be
:15:47. > :15:51.allowed, voting and free elections, that won't happen Willett? Not
:15:52. > :15:55.through these means, no. I don't think the Cuban government has ever
:15:56. > :16:02.responded well to those demands from Washington and it won't start now.
:16:03. > :16:06.He almost suggested the fact that President Raul Castro is stepping
:16:07. > :16:10.down next year was somehow related to this harder stance. But Mr Castro
:16:11. > :16:17.has made it clear he intended to step down for quite some time. In
:16:18. > :16:20.fact, if anything, human rights organisations are advising against
:16:21. > :16:23.taking this type of harder stance because they fear that it might
:16:24. > :16:27.strengthen the hand of hardliners within the Cuban Communist Party. So
:16:28. > :16:32.there is a lot of people pointing out some of the inconsistencies in
:16:33. > :16:36.this policy. For example, obliging US citizens to come to Cuba in
:16:37. > :16:40.organised groups. That means the chances are they would stay within
:16:41. > :16:44.state run hotels and not the private Centre, exactly the part of the
:16:45. > :16:48.economy that the Trump administration is trying to empower.
:16:49. > :16:55.There are a lot of people suggesting this is misguided but the
:16:56. > :16:58.administration is clear that the previous of nurses and midweek,
:16:59. > :17:05.rolled over for the Castro government, and that they will take
:17:06. > :17:09.a harder stance. -- the previous Administration was weak. We will
:17:10. > :17:14.keep the focus on Donald Trump because the president has once again
:17:15. > :17:16.taken to twitter. The president has taken to Twitter
:17:17. > :17:19.to confirm he's being investigated for obstruction of justice
:17:20. > :17:21.in connection with the firing He said: "I am being investigated
:17:22. > :17:25.for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me
:17:26. > :17:27.to fire the FBI Director!" Once again he called
:17:28. > :17:29.it a "Witch Hunt". He also insisted that "After seven
:17:30. > :17:31.months of investigations and committee hearings
:17:32. > :17:33.about my alleged collusion with the Russians, nobody has been
:17:34. > :17:39.able to show any proof." As a result, sources close to the US
:17:40. > :17:43.Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein, say he may have
:17:44. > :17:46.to recuse himself from the inquiry as he may now be
:17:47. > :17:48.a potential witness. Our correspondent in Washington,
:17:49. > :18:04.Rajini Vaidyanathan James Comey the former FBI director,
:18:05. > :18:08.testified before the Senate last week and remember, he was fired by
:18:09. > :18:11.President club at the beginning of May. He testified before the Senate
:18:12. > :18:16.but President Trump was not the subject of the investigation is into
:18:17. > :18:20.whether the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians. But of course, he
:18:21. > :18:26.only knew what was going on while he was in post. But then James Kelly
:18:27. > :18:32.was fired, and someone called Robert Mallo was taken over -- takeover of
:18:33. > :18:39.the investigation as special council. Now that Mr Muller has
:18:40. > :18:42.taken over. He has broadened the scope of the enquiry and is now
:18:43. > :18:52.investigating President Trump. But whether he is -- for whether he
