of the local authority and central government for their handling of the disaster. jon kay reports. for their handling of the disaster. father, for their handling of the disaster. we pray for thoss suffering father, we pray for those who are suffering loss, while we pray for those who are waiting with hope. beneath a tower, people of all faiths are trying to heal. it continues to be a time of bewilderment, of anxiety, continues to be a time of bewilderment, ofanxiety, of continues to be a time of bewilderment, of anxiety, of anger. some of the dead and missing are known in this congregation, and even in moments of peace, you can feel the rage will stop heaven knows what the rage will stop heaven knows what the next few weeks hold, as that death toll keeps rising. i am deadly serious, what is going to happen? bianca, i've never seen anything like it. it is terrible, and they

are mad about everything. at a nearby mosque, more donations for the displaced. five days on, some feel they are still having to do what the authorities should be doing. are you from the home office? no, ilit doing. are you from the home office? no, i lit up the road. no one knows that they are here. they are sitting at empty desks. —— no, i live up the road. after criticism of the council, a neighbourhood authority has taken over things here. these volu nteers has taken over things here. these volunteers told me there is progress, but it is painfully slow. 24 progress, but it is painfully slow. 2a hours ago, the prime minister said central government will take control of this and get a grip of it — does it feel like there is a grip?

no. why not? look around you, they're not here. central government are not here. for us to feel that there is a grip, central government needs to make us feel it is on the side of the people. the extra foot patrols promised by theresa may are 110w patrols promised by theresa may are now on the ground, brought in from other parts of london to bring reassurance and information. the leader of the local council says he understands the criticism his authority faced, but he has also defended their response. yes, of course their resolve ways more we can do, and we are attempting to do that, but this was an enormous disaster. it has profound consequences. gratitude this afternoon for the firefighters who we re afternoon for the firefighters who were searching for the lost night and day. there is a growing sense here that all the emotion unleashed by the fire must lead to change. angry, not simply at the poor

response in the days afterwards from the council and the government, but the council and the government, but the years of neglect from the council and successive governments. while politicians talk about the legacy and lessons learned, for some here, it is far too lonely. on a day like this, they say, it is impossible to think about the future. it does feel here tonight that some of the fury that we saw in the first few days after this fire has dissipated somewhat. there does seem to be an acknowledgement that the official response is now getting on track, and a willingness to try and support it. in the last few minutes, we have had a statement from downing street, the prime minister giving no details of that £5 million fund to help those who lived in grenfell tower. there will be an immediate minimum cash payment of £500 per household, and then at

least £5,000 will go into bank accou nts least £5,000 will go into bank accounts or will be made available in other ways. we have been told there will also be extra money for funerals and mental health services. clive. the families of some of those still missing, remain hopeful their relatives may still be alive, but they're also realistic that the chances are slim. our reporter sima kotecha has been speaking to two brothers searching for six members of their family. this is our sister, nadia choukair, her husband, bassem choukair, our mother, sirria choukair. her husband, bassem choukair, our this is nadia's children, mierna choukair, fatima choukair, and zainab choukair. and those are my sister's children. and zainab choukair. two brothers desperately searching for their family who have been missing since the fire. for their family who have they lived on the 22nd floor. for their family who have today they came to the tower to be close to where their family once

lived, to hope for their return, and to pray for all those missing. we hope, we still hope, we still hope to find, to see them. hope, we still hope and we're not going to give up hope. hope, we still hope we will keep coming here and keep hoping to see them again. and keep hoping to see they describe themselves as bereft and say they have received no help from the authorities. ministers say they are doing all they can to assist those who have been affected. all they can to assist those i feel very angry, not supported, and i feel the community have come together better than the government, or the support from the government. than the government, or the support when the casualty bureau numbercame up, i actually rang it and it just went into a voice mail, and to hear that message, that wasjust like a knife in the chest, if you know what i mean. in the chest, if you know what i

the tall tower looms large here, it's shadow dominating the area. it's shadow dominating the these men are demanding change. it's shadow dominating the i'd like to see reform to all high—rise buildings within london. to all high—rise buildings within i want the removal... to all high—rise buildings within i'd like to see the government remove any future plans of cladding within remove any future plans high—rise buildings. remove any future plans we need to act. remove any future plans we need to learn from our mistakes, not at the cost of people's lives. the sunshine blazed down on london today, but the mood here remained dark. today, but the mood here remained for many, the pain too great and too raw. still hope, still living in hope that even though they were on the 22nd floor at the time of the incident, of the fire, please, please... the incident, of the fire, please, sima kotecha, bbc news, london. the incident, of the fire, please, the chancellor, philip hammond,

says brexit talks must safeguard the british economy, and that reaching no deal would be bad for britain. and that reaching no deal he was speaking ahead of the start of negotiations with the european commission, due to begin tomorrow. here's our political correspondent alex forsyth. it correspondent alex forsyth. was a key reason for ( election. it was a key reason for calling the election. every vote for the conservatives will make me stronger when i negotiate for britain with the prime minister ‘s —— the prime ministers, chancellors and presidents in the eu. instead, by losing her majority, negotiations look tougher. on brexit, the prime minister faces pressure from all sides. many think the chancellor, who backed remain, is one of those pushing for a moderate approach. he upped the stakes debate on the need to get a good deal with the eu. no

deal would be a very bad outcome for britain, but there is a possible worse outcome, and that is a deal thatis worse outcome, and that is a deal that is deliberately structured to punish us, to suck the lifeblood out of our economy. he said uk would leave this single market and customs union but there could not a cliff edge and there would have to be transitional arrangements to keep trade flowing. the economy must come first. he even attacked the tory election campaign for not making more of it. we did not talk about the economy as much as we should have done. whatever the reason, this is the result. angerfrom some. lacking enough mps on their own, the tories have turned to northern ireland's dup. their views on brexit will now also have to be considered. theresa may is facing tough battles here. there is a raft of laws that need to be passed. the parliamentary session has been extended to two

yea rs, session has been extended to two years, giving the government more time, but that won't make it much easier. the tories are divided about what brexit should mean, and that is without the views of political opponents. labour could flex its muscles, suggesting today the uk could stay in the customs union which allows tariff free trade within the eu. it should be left on the table. 50 we could stay inside the table. 50 we could stay inside the customs union? yes, there was also the notion of no deal being a viable deal, which theresa may and the government have repeatedly said. no deal is what happens if you get to the end of two years and have not reached an agreement. you are pushed over a cliff. extracting the uk from the eu want be easy and there is still no real clarity from anyone about what brexit should or will look like, but it is clear that here as well as in brussels the prime minister is facing a tough fight. alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster. well, some of the key issues in those brexit talks in the coming days will include the rights of eu citizens, that's foreign nationals,

living here, and britons living abroad. there's the size of the divorce bill, what it will it cost to leave the eu. bill, what it will it and then there's the timetable — can the highly complex negotiations be completed in just two years? can the highly complex negotiations damian grammaticas is in brussels for us. damian, in brussels for us. what are we expecting tomorrow? damian, what are we expecting tomorrow? 11am brussels time, on the seventh floor here, those talks will get underway. one of the early issues will be how to proceed. david davis wanted trade talks from the outset, and he has predicted a row over the summer over that, because the eu said it wants first exit issues dealt with, then a future relationship could be talked about. after initial contact between the two sides, we have heard the eu believes its preferred sequence will believes its preferred sequence will be followed. that is significant because it means david davis will have to satisfy the eu on issues you

mentioned — citizens' rights, how they will calculate a final financial settlement before the eu will move on to discussing future relations. these are all tricky things, and on any one of them, the talks could falter. damien, thank you. a murder investigation has begun after the body of an 18—year—old woman, ellen higginbottom, was found in a country park in wigan. the discovery was made in orrell water park. ellen had been reported missing by her family on friday. police say she suffered a brutal attack, and are appealing for anyone with information to come forward. attack, and are appealing for anyone in portugal, more than 60 people have died in a huge forest fire. the blaze was in a mountainous area in the middle of an intense heat wave. area in the middle it's thought the fire was sparked by lightning hitting a tree. here's paul adams. by lightning hitting a tree. is by lightning hitting a tree. a desperate, sometime! battle is a desperate, sometimes hopeless, battle against nature. seafaring
