means that the that means that the perpetrator, the gun person has not been apprehended yet, but from our understanding, at least two people are feared to have been killed at this shooting at this high school and four people at least believed to have been injured in what is being described in this statement from barrow county sheriffs office, this being an ongoing situation. live tv images and images where we understand that there are a number of ambulances with cnn saying that they saw a patient being loaded into a helicopter that had landed at the school

where monitoring this is the time being butjustjoining us, there is a live situation going on in the united states, in georgia, the us state of georgia. this is right outside of atlanta where reuters news agency have reported that two people have been killed and at least four people have been injured. so, we are continuing to monitor this for you in the moment we get any more updates, will bring them to you and from my understanding from the statement of authorities is that this is still a live situation and those responsible have not been apprehended and when monitoring not for you, the other live story, the other live shot that where monitoring is from israel where we are expecting the israeli leader benjamin netanyahu to speak

eminently, we are expecting to speak half an hour ago but the timings of slipped. but follow on his apology that he made earlier on this week, apologising and asking for forgiveness from israelis for failing to return the six hostages that were found killed in gaza on saturday for the weekend and this comes as many protests across the country over his handling of the negotiations in terms of the cease—fire but also a hostage release deal and the families of those related to people still being held hostage and really unhappy with the way this really government is dealing with this in benjamin netanyahu werejust dealing with this in benjamin netanyahu were just monitoring that live shot as we were

expecting them to speak about half an hour ago but will continue tojust monitor half an hour ago but will continue to just monitor that live shot and we are continuing to monitor that situation, the ongoing situation in the us state of georgia as well. so, a number of developing stories that we just got our focus on but of course, throughout the day, we've been reporting on the grenfell tower fire inquiry and that second part of that inquiry has come through and has been described as a damning report we are able to speak to the deputy police commissioner who talked more about the criminal investigation. today is a hugely — criminal investigation. today is a hugely significant - is a hugely significant milestone for particularly the bereaved and the survivals of grenfell tower. my thoughts and the thoughts of the met police are with them following the report. this inquiry makes very

clear, very direct findings. our investigation started in june 2017 and continues apace the question of how sure i am forjustice for the question of how sure i am for justice for those who the question of how sure i am forjustice for those who died, all those affected by a tower, they have my and the whole teams absolute commitment and will do everything we can to secure justice. will do everything we can to securejustice. i cannot sit here and give a guarantee that sir martin and his findings are quite clear. 0urjob now the inquiry report which is done under a different legal framework is to go through it line by line, assess its impact on our criminal investigation and present the whole of the criminal case to the crown prosecutor service ever those are able to listen to sir martin this morning and announcing the publication will hear that the grenfell tower

tragedy was avoidable. when the clear lenses for my criminal investigation is that it was avoidable —— if it was avoidable, why wasn't it avoided? all those with this fire, will continue to follow the evidence and we will present the best possible evidence in the best possible case for the crown prosecution service. . , ., ., ., all service. can give us an idea at all what sort _ service. can give us an idea at all what sort of _ service. can give us an idea at all what sort of the senses - service. can give us an idea at| all what sort of the senses you are looking at?— are looking at? our investigation - are looking at? our investigation was . are looking at? our - investigation was started in 2017 is investigating some of the most serious offences. that includes corporate manslaughter and that is organisations and companies. it is investigating gross negligent manslaughter which is in relation to individuals. we are investigating misconduct in public office and some of the most serious health and safety offences and we will forward the evidence wherever it may go and present that case to the crown prosecution service. and crown prosecution service. and for the grenfell _ crown prosecution service. and for the grenfell tower community, the survivors, it is

been a long time coming and there's still a long way to go on this, to give us an idea of the timeline we are talking about and why it takes so long to do that? i about and why it takes so long to do that?— to do that? i recognise the very lengthy _ to do that? i recognise the very lengthy criminal- very lengthy criminal investigation in the public inquiry must have a significant impact on those affected and i cannot pretend to put myself in those shoes. sitting here today, i think it would take us 12 to 18 months to conclude a criminal investigation, which includes reviewing sir martin's inquiry report and the forensic way, line by line to establish do we need to make further inquiries, do we need to reinterview people and approach any further witnesses in order to present the evidence to the crown the metropolitan police deputy commissioner they're speaking to my colleague and on that inquiry report on her live

page which shows are monitoring all the different reactions to what is being described as and we are hoping to speak to somebody who was looking at building regulations a little bit later on in the programme so, do stay with us. find bit later on in the programme so, do stay with us.— bit later on in the programme so, do stay with us. and we are expecting _ so, do stay with us. and we are expecting benjamin _ so, do stay with us. and we are expecting benjamin netanyahu| so, do stay with us. and we are l expecting benjamin netanyahu to speak and we are keeping an eye on the live shot in the developing story in georgia in the us state of georgia were at least two people are feared to have been killed in a shooting which is still being described as an active shooting and a high school. a lot going on here on bbc news and do stay with us before the time being, we will turn our attention to westminster for the former home secretary has been knocked out of the conservative leadership contest in the first round. tori envious of been casting their vote on who they want to have replaced rishi sunak in the former minister topped the

poll followed by the former business secretary. vicki young was watching the announcements. this is the first stages of this contest and it's a long time since rishi sunak said he was going to stand down with the conservatives are really taking this pretty slowly and not like recent contest where the conservative party were choosing a new prime minister, this is to decide what was going to be the leader of the opposition with a huge task i had to rebuild after that disaster is election defeat in as priti patel, the former home secretary has gone out at this stage, and it is pretty tight. 0nly stage, and it is pretty tight. only 121 stage, and it is pretty tight. 0nly121 conservative mps left after the election and rishi sunak says he is not going to vote in this contest and the leaders of others are pretty electorate. quite volatile and to change their minds and everything can change. but coming out on top with 28 votes

and then we had james cleverly foreign secretary as well priti patel on 1a and he goes to another around next week and i'll bring the number down to four and those four will go to the conservative party conference or they will make their case and then they will be whittled down to two by the mp5 at that point, when you're mps at that point, when you're at the final two, it goes out to conservative party members. these candidates are making their case for their fellow mps but they do have to be mindful of what tory members want because ultimately, they're the ones are putting pressure on their mps disabled one way or their mps disabled one way or the other and also in the end, they will have time.— the other and also in the end, they will have time. would we exect they will have time. would we meet to _ they will have time. would we expect to happen _ they will have time. would we expect to happen next - they will have time. would we expect to happen next week? | they will have time. would we i expect to happen next week? it is difficult to tell, someone just said to me it is difficult to predict because in the past,

we can say there have been some some shenanigans with people lending their votes to make sure that someone else falls off the bottom because they might be seen as a competitor for those votes. for those imminent questions is what happens to those votes that priti patel had? will she come out in favour of somebody else but even if she were to do that, would necessarily mean though herformer supporters though her former supporters would switch though herformer supporters would switch and they would not be vying to try to attract them and others have said to me, saying that they don't mind the fact that they say she has drawn support from across the party from some and others may deem to be more centrist and appealing to lots of different people injames cleverly. we people in james cleverly. we are going _ people injames cleverly. we are going straight to israel to hearfrom benjamin netanyahu.

hear from benjamin netanyahu. experiencing hearfrom benjamin netanyahu. experiencing days of horror, sorrow and rage. we could go, we experienced such horror. yesterday, i visited in the afternoon the family of one of the hostages murdered in cold blood and earlier i spoke to several of the families of these murdered hostages. interior hard out and i said to them that i'm sorry. i apologise and we did not get them out and we worked so hard to get them. we were close, but we didn't. and they changed,

ourfamilies, worried about our families, worried about their loved ourfamilies, worried about their loved ones, to families grieving for their fallen beloved. that's all about i know but it is a horror. we also lost brief policeman and brave soldiers were fighting in the gaza front. and i embrace theirfamilies as the gaza front. and i embrace their families as well. all our people do. on october seven, we experienced the worst savagery in the century. in october seven, the experience, the worst savagery on the jewish people since the holocaust.

these savages massacred our people. they beheaded our men, they raped our women and then murdered them. they burned babies alive, they took 255 of our people hostages to their underground dungeons. that is a horror that the world saw and responded to initially. it is important that we remember it, but we were given a reminder. a terrible reminder. last week, when these savages murdered six of our hostages and cord blood —— in cold blood, they riddled them with bullets and they shot each of them the head. some of

them several times. and these are the savages, these are the terrorists that iran implanted into our border. and we are committed to defeating them, to removing this evil from our nits. i want to talk to you today about some of the things that we must do to achieve that goal, including the questions of the philadelphia corridor. of the philadelphi corridor. 0ften often you see maps of israel and you think it is a goliath, i would like to give you an over view of where israel is. this is the middle east and this is the entire arab world and this is israel. it is one

of the roots tiniest countries. i give her the thumb tests, you need a bigger thumb. i give her the thumb tests, you need a biggerthumb. it i give her the thumb tests, you need a bigger thumb. it is a tiny country. as the tiniest countries on the planet. 0ne tenth of 1% of the territory of the arab world, maybe two tenths. because of the river, regular income of thejordan river, to the sea, the mediterranean sea. so when hamas is talking about liberating palestine from the river to the sea, but they're basically saying is destroy israel. in the entire width of this, around the width of this, altogether widest point right here. tiny. and here is gaza, that you see here, that is gaza. and i want to zoom in and when i zoom in, remember how

tiny this is. remember the distance. here it is enlarged, this is israel. this is the mediterranean sea, jordan is right here. mrs egypt and now look at gaza. where is gaza? gazais look at gaza. where is gaza? gaza is implanted in this tiny country, 30 miles from tel aviv, a0 miles from her capital, jerusalem, a0 miles over here, these are three of israel's largest cities. gaza is within spitting distance to them. israel up to the disengagement of 2005, israel controlled this border under an agreement with egypt after the camp david peace accords. this is called the philadelphi corridor to the red sea, this was our border. and while there

was our border. and while there was a minimalamount was our border. and while there was a minimal amount of terrorism, we did not face a big problem but let's zoom in on that a bit more. here is the gaza strip enlarged. before the disengagement of 2005. end of the gaza strip is firmly under israeli control. we control the border, you cannot smuggling weapons, they tried but we stop them. you control the land border and control of this border. between egypt and gaza, the gaza strip and this is the philadelphi corridor corridor, the raffle crossing but look at the raffle crossing but look at the distances from gaza. it is four miles to another city in israel where he visited that bereaved family yesterday. it is a population of 170,000 people, four miles away. some

of our communities which is one mile away from gaza. less than one mile away, literally walking distance and as long as we control this, as long as these communities sometimes they were harassed by this but it's marginal. we control the security situation. but israel unilaterally disengage from gaza. itjust went out, took out everything, took out the army, it stripped, uprooted communities and got 2000 people, the army left the philadelphi corridor. this is gaza after the disengagement and hamas now has weapon smuggling operations nurtured by iran, financed by iran, financed by iran, delivered by iran. and here's what happened. that philadelphi corridor

became completely, the other borders controlled by us. but once this was perforated even though the policy of egypt was to prevent that, did not necessarily work and did not succeed. and once we left our side of the philadelphi corridor, rockets went in missiles went in, drones went in, emma went in, weapons manufacturing equipment came in, total drilling equipment came in. once we left the philadelphi corridor, they decided to turn it into a terrorist enclave that would endanger not only the communities around it but would endanger tel aviv, jerusalem, the entirety of israel, he became a huge terrorist base because we left that corridor.

and so, we vowed, i would say, you have to understand that the centrality of the philadelphi corridor to the arming of gaza and the arming of hamas, this all lead to the october seven the massacre. which hamas is proudly vowed to do it again and again and again. we vowed that they will not be able to do it and so, as far as gaza is concerned, three more goals, the first goal was to destroy hamas military and governing capabilities. the second was to free our hostages and the third was to ensure that gaza never again poses a threat to israel. and all three of those goals, all three of them go through israel's control of the philadelphi corridor corridor

and we want to destroy their army capabilities, you cannot allow them to rearm to control the corridor. you cannot let them have come it's not going to prevent them from terrorising us and attacking us, it's also to prevent hamas orany us, it's also to prevent hamas or any other terrorist organisation from terrorising the people of gaza. gaza cannot have a future if gaza remains, being able to rearm terrorists through the corridor. also to release the hostages. you cannot prevent, if you leave this corridor, you cannot prevent hamas, not only not smuggling weapons come in terrorist smuggling terrorists, and also crossing the distance, it is

mere metres away. crossing the barrier above ground, dealing up barrier above ground, dealing up to go underground, they disappear and then they end in iran or any disappear and then they end in iran orany human, disappear and then they end in iran or any human, and they're gone forever. and you need something to squeeze them to prevent them to put pressure on them to release the remaining hostages and if you want to release the hostages, you've got to control the philadelphi corridor. in the third goal of making sure we prevent gaza from being again a threat israel, it is clear, gaza must be demilitarised and that can only be demilitarised if the philadelphi corridor remains underfirm control and is not a supply line for armaments and for terror equipment. supply line for armaments and forterror equipment. i supply line for armaments and for terror equipment. i think thatis for terror equipment. i think that is clear to most israelis, all israelis. but the question

is, one, wanting to leave gaza for a2 days, they can come back. aside from what i said that they could smuggle the terrorists out, come back, i want to show you what they've got under there. i want to show you that. this is what they have under philadelphi corridor, the supply lines are talking about. this is one of the tunnels look at the engineering and investment here, we've got dozens of tunnels in the philadelphi corridor. to give an impression of the size of these things. this is a soldier, this is a tunnel. you could drive a truck through this. indeed, you could. here's a truck, on the. this is a huge problem. you're

just going to walk away? we have to control it, right? and what you see this, you understand that. but the next question is if you leave if you come back, that's what they tell us. we'll have complete international legitimacy to come back. sorry, we have gone down that route. we are down that road we left lebanon if people said you can leave lebanon and you can come back in the first time they fire a rocket, you can come back in the world will support you. it didn't. and we have been out of lebanon for 2a years. they said the same thing we left gaza in the same thing we left gaza in the disengagement. you can leave in the first rocket, the prime minister said this to me. the first rocket above ground or below ground will be able to go back and it's been 20 years and we haven't gone back in

because you all know and understand that the international community, including from the countries due to the propaganda levied against israel in them, they will be enormous international pressure not to come back. what is the message, in the war. in the war. and we want to come back and resume, we will pay an exorbitant price in many fields, including the lives of our men, to come back and it's notjust a military question, is a military political strategic question. can we make that decision. we are not going to leave. a2 days weather. i am not going to leave in just come backin not going to leave in just come back in and is not going to take another 2a years to come backin take another 2a years to come back in and god knows where price, probably more

kidnappings and massacres how many more murders and how many more rapes, not going to happen. but if you stay, this will kill the deal. and i say, such a deal will kill us. and there won't be a deal that way. this is a false narrative. i made a deal already. 0ne this is a false narrative. i made a deal already. one that brought back under the hostages, 117 alive. and i'm committed to return the remaining 101 and i'll do everything they can to get them. believing philadelphi corridor does not advance the release of the hostages because the deal cannot be advanced. they will give you a minor part if they get anything, keep the rest. you know they started giving us hostages? we went to

philadelphi corridor, but we went that's that's only for the pressure as long as it in for the pressure as long as it in for the pressure, they wouldn't first deal that we got was a result of our invasion, military pressure we put in, they give us the hostages. after that, they thought well, we'll have the international pressure turn on israel so we wanted to make any concession. but after rafa, their tune changed and they began to change. if we leave rafa, if we leave philadelphi corridor, there won't be any pressure we will not get the hostages. i said i was willing to make a deal. the real obstacle to making a deal is not israel, and it is not me, it is hamas.

0n and it is not me, it is hamas. on april 27, and it is not me, it is hamas. 0n april27, i put and it is not me, it is hamas. on april 27, i put forward a proposal by israel which secretaries said extremely generous and on may 31, having met antony blinken again, i said we agreed to the us proposal and hamas refused. 0n proposal and hamas refused. on august 16, the us brought forth what they called the final bridge and proposal. again, we accepted, hamas refused. and on august 19, second secretary antony blinken, said now hamas is to do the same. and i was a week ago. the deputy cia director said israel showed seriousness of the negotiations and now hamas make the deal, must make the deal. this was

last week. and i ask you... you're watching benjamin netanyahu giving press statement live from jerusalem addressing why he feels the israeli troops have to control that philadelphi corridor, that tiny strip of land between gaza and egypt. a controversial suggestion because the strategic importance strip of land is a major sticking point in further negotiations with hamas over a cease—fire and a hostage release deal and as to to this, will bring that to you here on bbc news.

at six: the deaths of all 72 people killed by the fire in grenfell tower in london were avoidable — the final verdict from the public inquiry. it says the catastrophic fire here injune 2017 was the result of a chain of failures by governments and private companies by governments and private companies. grenfell was on a "path to disaster" that began many years ago. 5a adults and 18 children died. the prime minister says grenfell residents were "ignored" and left in a "death trap". now their families want justice. we are traumatised. we are empty inside now. seven years, justice delayed isjustice denied. we'll be looking at who the report says was responsible and asking whether the families of those who died will ever get realjustice. also on the programme...
