"so—called disadvantaged", he says. for the people of grenfell do not recognise the version of themselves that has entered the public imagination. nina masroh has lived on the estate for nearly 30 years. we were portrayed as a poor, uneducated, disadvantaged people who didn't work, on benefits which is the actual opposite. a lot of people do work. there are some very highly educated people living on council estates in grenfell tower itself. there were architects, there were engineers, people worked in social media, in technology, it. so to have this kind of view, simply because somebody lives on a council estate, that they are not worthy

or they are less than anyone else, is a complete... it's a fallacy. did you feel insulted by it? deeply insulted, deeply insulted. i think also there was that sense of — oh, they're alljust a bunch of foreigners. that's what makes london, i suppose that's what makes the uk. we're a multi—cultural society. its location has made grenfell tower a graphic symbol of inequality in britain, an inequality that before the fire was hidden in plain sight. 71 people died in this block, it is difficult to escape the rebuke to all of us that its charred remains represent. allan little, bbc news, in west london. from 10.30am tomorrow there will be full coverage of the grenfell memorial service with my colleage mishal hussain. that's all for tonight.

the york at his team's winter training base. he and his team's doctors are now preparing their defence. i sat down and spoke with the tour de france champion and began by asking him whether or not the general public would simply think there goes another cheating cyclist? i can understand a lots of people's reactions, especially given the history of the sport, but this is obviously a very different case. this is not a positive test. as it stands, the uci have asked me for more information regarding my use of sub you tomorrow, a very —— salbutamol, a very common medicine in using abu dhabi treating asthma. i think all asthmatics will know what it is. i have been only too happy to try and help the uci fill in the blanks and to give all that
10:35 pm
information out, along with the team, to try and get to the bottom of what has happened here. do you have proper medical records to back your defence? i mean, well, yes, i have certainly shared everything i have certainly shared everything i have with the uci, and told them, basically, i mean i've got a very clear routine when i use my inhaler, and how money times i use it, and i've given all that information to the uci to try and get to the bottom of this. you might be banned, you might be stripped of your vuelta title and you might not be allowed to ta ke title and you might not be allowed to take part in events next year. as it stands right now, i am just going to try and focus on the process, try to try and focus on the process, try to give the authorities all of the releva nt to give the authorities all of the relevant information, and make sure that i give myself the best chance in this case. but i'm certainly not going to speculate about the outcome, as it stands. and, finally,

i7 and now we are up to 22 points from 17 matches, so we are pushing our way into the top half, and it all comes from a good, sound, solid defensive base. and today we pass the ball well, we moved the ball better, we got in the opposition‘s box, look at the first goal. terrific move down the right—hand side, lovely cross, header. wayne rooney following in, that goal instinct is not left him. the keeper fumbled it a bit and wayne is the only one on the move, who gets the ball on the back of the net. elsewhere tonight, leicester enjoyed a comprehensive win at southampton, liverpool were left frustrated by west brom, goal—less too between west ham and arsenal. whilst there were wins for manchester united against bournemouth, and totteham against brighton. celtic have stretched their unbeaten domestic run to 69 matches after beating hamilton academical 3—1 to maintain their five—point lead at the top of the scottish premiership table. meanwhile, rangers stay second after coming from a goal down

10:41 pm
option as well. they have this incredible record at this ground, they haven't lost to england at a test match here at the waca since 1978, but, even so, their captain steve smith says his team are taking nothing for granted. england are a very good side, and no doubt they will come back really hard this week. for us, the message i have said to the boys is don't get complacent. keep playing really good, hard, aggressive cricket and do the basics really well. if we do that on this wicket hopefully we will get the result we are after at the end of this week. australia with another wonderful opportunity to seal an ashes series at home soil. this is the last ever ashes test here at the waca. next time, they will be playing at a new stadium here in perth. england will be hoping they can spoil the farewell party and keep this ashes series alive. what a test that will be for england. and just to recap on our top story this evening — the four—time tour de france winner chris froome says he hopes his
