:02:41. > :02:43.We have been told were in Grenfell Tower on

:02:50. > :02:57.The investigations into how this happened will be complex and
:02:58. > :03:00.lengthy, but the residents' association for Grenfell Tower and

:04:08. > :04:09.We are told there will be a more official

:05:13. > :05:15.for families who needed help or basic information in the initial
:05:16. > :05:20.hours after this appalling disaster was not good enough.
:05:21. > :05:23.There have been huge frustrations that people do not
:05:24. > :05:33.know who to talk to, that they can't get through on the council hotlines.
:05:34. > :05:35.Earlier, I spoke to our political correspondent, Alex Forsyth, and
:05:36. > :05:38.began by asking her about whether the Prime Minister's statement
:05:39. > :05:42.There has been anger, and a lot of frustration from some
:05:43. > :05:45.members of the local community at what they see
:05:46. > :05:46.as an inadequate response to what has
:05:47. > :05:48.happened, not just from the
:05:49. > :05:50.Government but also from the local authority, Kensington and Chelsea
:05:51. > :05:55.Theresa May was personally criticised for not

:05:58. > :06:02.In the past few days, she visited a hospital yesterday, and
:06:03. > :06:07.today she hosted this meeting in Downing Street.
:06:08. > :06:11.I am told that these actions she has now come out with a
:06:12. > :06:16.direct response to what she has been hearing from people on the ground.
:06:17. > :06:18.which is why we have seen the Prime Minister announced
:06:19. > :06:21.that ?5 million emergency fund, which will start to be distributed
:06:22. > :06:24.That is for basic things like food, travel money.
:06:25. > :06:26.She has renewed the commitment to rehouse
:06:27. > :06:27.people within three weeks, in the local
:06:28. > :06:31.area if they want to, or as
:06:32. > :06:34.She has also talked about people on the

:06:44. > :06:46.Theresa May is trying to reassure people that the Government is doing
:06:47. > :06:58.what it can after it has had such criticism for its response so far.
:06:59. > :07:03.The message from the Government now is that they are trying to listen to
:07:04. > :07:09.the local community and do what they need. More than three days on from
:07:10. > :07:14.this fire, there seems to be little evidence that there is help on the
:07:15. > :07:18.ground for people who need it. Only this morning, we were still here and
:07:19. > :07:22.reports from people they are saying that the effort had been driven by
:07:23. > :07:27.the community rather than any of the authorities. That is what Theresa
:07:28. > :07:30.May is trying to address. She listened to that from residents in
:07:31. > :07:36.the meeting at Downing Street today which is why she came up with these
:07:37. > :07:39.specific actions. Damian Green, the first Secretary of State in the UK,
:07:40. > :07:43.to all intents and purposes, the Deputy Prime Minister, he said in an
:07:44. > :07:46.interview this morning that that help on the ground would start from
:07:47. > :07:51.today. There is a recognition that it does not been there to this
:07:52. > :07:54.point. The Government is saying they are acting on this now, they are
:07:55. > :07:58.acting on this and he will now see a difference. What remains to be seen
:07:59. > :08:03.is whether or not that now appears on the ground and whether or not
:08:04. > :08:07.that will satisfy residents in Kensington who feel that so far they
:08:08. > :08:09.have not had the support they need. The Government is trying to get on
:08:10. > :08:14.the front foot but still having to convince the community.

:17:35. > :17:39.just a few words, we want to be peacemakers acres there is enough

:17:56. > :18:00.in the last day or so? Definitely, and there needs to be answers, there
:18:01. > :18:04.needs to be a response to that, but if you are just here at this scene,
:18:05. > :18:08.so many people are grieving and weeping that I do not think lashing
:18:09. > :18:12.out... The news and the press do a great job, but yesterday was not a
:18:13. > :18:17.true reflection of what happened. I was at a church and all we did all

:18:21. > :18:24.the news is riots and kicking down doors. That is not a true

:19:00. > :19:03.council members, and we are doing this very organically, but we are
:19:04. > :19:07.doing our best to lead a community, but we are still morning very much.
:19:08. > :19:11.That is one of the issues, we have heard that people are still sleeping
:19:12. > :19:15.on floors, people who have been made homeless, and also this Government
:19:16. > :19:18.task force, which has been created, is supposed to be on the ground
:19:19. > :19:28.today. Have you seen any evidence that? Note, but there is a lot of
:19:29. > :19:32.talk of community, people saying that we are in the richest borough,
:19:33. > :19:35.people could just purchase a block and house people. It is not as
:19:36. > :19:40.straightforward as that, but people on the ground are thinking, why, it
:19:41. > :19:47.is not just happen? We just want things to get done. A few days after
:19:48. > :19:51.this disaster, it is such a difficult time, the grief is still
:19:52. > :19:58.so raw, because not everybody knows what happened to their loved ones in
:19:59. > :20:01.that building. Yes, and one of the ladies who was really grieving, and
:20:02. > :20:06.the grief is understandable, we are not saying you cannot grieve,
:20:07. > :20:08.because of course you see all the information going out, but actually,
:20:09. > :20:15.I would like to encourage people to have people in grief. People are
:20:16. > :20:22.very end in need of a hug and consolation, so a bottle of water
