and the management. we will be looking at the roles each and every one of those has played. everyone has seen the videos of the fire. we will be looking at not only how the fire spread up the external facade of the tower, but looking at everything that went on inside. the fire safety precautions, how the building was managed and maintained and also constructed and refurbished. the stay put advice that london fire brigade gave at the outset of the fire has been widely reported on in the media, and our investigation will look at the totality of what happened, how it happened and why it happened. we have to look at the deaths of what we believe might be 80 people who lost their lives in this fire and the investigation will look at not only the events leading up to the fire, but also the actions of all those involved on the night and whether it had any impact on the deaths of those who were inside the tower. i will say it again, the truly tragic fire

myself and ask a few questions. one man has broken his silence and fighting back tears, these families have listened. as another convex layer is peeled off the darkest of dark nights. —— the complex layer. more now on the case of charlie gard where his parents have been back in the high court for a hearing into their application to be allowed to take their terminally ill baby to take him to the us for experimental treatment — the family‘s spokesman alisdair seton marsden has been making a statement outside the court in the last few minutes. baby charlie and his parents, connie and chris, are thankful for the outcome of the hearing in the high court today in front ofjustice francis. charlie‘s parents look forward to the new evidence being heard by the high court this thursday, the 13th ofjuly, that will result in charlie‘s parents taking him to either the united states in an of america or to italy for ground—breaking treatment. mum and dad say that if charlie is still fighting,

but dozens of london traders have lost their livelihoods. yvonne had just been taken to see a shell of her jewellery store that she had run for the last 15 years. my friend called me at 12 o‘clock, and i was sleeping. so i don‘t know what had happened, i thought it was an emergency call, so i took the phone out. and then i called her back, and she said, camden lock is on fire. everything i own is what i sell, so it‘s all gone. everything, definitely. it was the central market hall where it is thought the fire started. another decades—old guitar store was also lost. the owners have still got their shop nearby but £10,000 worth of stock has gone up in smoke. coming here and seeing all the glass just smashed in and the black and the roof completely gone, i feel really emotional. shocked and devastated, really. ten fire engines were on the scene in minutes. 70 firefighters fought to stop the spread to nearby pubs and restaurants. investigation into how the fire started is underway. it was a well—developed
7:53 pm
fire when we got here. fire crews worked very hard with breathing apparatus and hose to contain it within that area of the property, and we managed to save the rest of the property. it‘s the second time in recent years the north london market has been hit by a serious blaze. in february 2008, a fire put many waterside traders out of the business for 15 months. the issue we had there was that it took weeks for traders to be really relocated to a new position to trade and for a lot of market traders, if you lose one week‘s trade, you‘re done. you can lose your business completely. so the question now isn‘t so much about the fire, what has been damaged or what is lost, it‘s more about getting traders trading again, as quickly as possible. traders were confident this tight—knit community would pull together to support those worst affected. most of all, many were just grateful, knowing it could have been much worse.

brexit will mean higherfood prices, with lower quality and less choice — that‘s the warning from the former boss of sainsbury‘s, justin king — who supported the remain campaign. his claims are however disputed by other industry analysts who believe leaving the eu could give us an opportunity to lower bills. tom heap reports. food and farming combined are by far our biggest manufacturing sector. and the eu is involved all along the chain from what grows in our fields to the labels on the pack. the eu also guarantees free trade across the continent, and the man who ran one of our biggest supermarkets and a remain supporter, says any threat to this frictionless system will be worse for shoppers. i think one can say very clearly what the direction will be. higher prices, less choice and poorer quality. because all of these dimensions have been improved by these open trading relationships that we‘ve had over the last 40 years. he also says the eu has driven up standards, and means we can get fresh vegetables all year round.
7:55 pm
but food prices inside the eu are higher than the global average. so consumer goods manufacturer and pro—brexit campaignerjohn mills says leaving could give us an opportunity to lower bills. food prices inside the eu vary from food product food to product, but on average they are about 20% higher than they are in the rest of the world. so there is very substantial scope for food prices coming down if we switch sources of supply outside the eu. the fortunes of retailers and the fate of farmers will be in the hands of those negotiating our brexit deal and future trade arrangements. tom heap, bbc news. and you can see more on that story on tonight‘s panorama, britain‘s food and farming: the brexit effect, on bbc one at 8.30. it‘s become the first national park in the world to gain
