the fire service said they arrived within minutes of getting the call. fire was right from the bottom floor, right up right from the bottom floor, right up to the top floor. i have described this as an extensive fire, as extremely significant, but we did ask at a recent press conference if there have been any investigations into the fire so far. they said it was too early. so we don't know what the cause of the fire is at this stage but they are still very much working on this ongoing operation. we have heard from the scottish secretary, david mundell, and he has said uk government stands ready to help financially or otherwise. this building has been called iconic by very many people this morning. a word which is overused. but it does show you just how important this building is. possibly not to just the people of glasgow, but also beyond. we've also heard many people say that they are just absolutely devastated by what has happened. we are not sure how much of this building will be left, but the description from the fire service suggests that the damage

cumbria and northumbria fire services have been helping.ese the busiest week in the history of the greater manchester fire service. the carbon dioxide shortage which has hit britain's food and drink industry has now spread to crumpets. the simultaneous shutdown of several major carbon dioxide plants is effecting supplies of many everyday products, including soft drinks, beers and meat. here's our business correspondent, emma simpson, her report does contain some flashing images. crumpets, one of our favourite treats. they should be making 25,000 of them an hour at this factory. but the production lines have ground to a halt. two of warburtons' big bakeries have run out of co2. this is the point at which we package our crumpets and here we fill every packet with c02. that helps us maintain the freshness and quality of our product over the shelf life. i've got two plants here that haven't run for the last ten days. it's a massive impact on our ability to provide our customers. but supermarkets aren't running out of crumpets just yet. it's not

this is where we begin to see some of the real dilemmas and problems which fire services face. y of those who called the nfb control room on the night of the nfb control room on the night of the fire said they could not leave. because of the conditions in the lobbies. martin seaward from the fire brigade union said many firefighters remain traumatised, facing challenges beyond their knowledge and training and procedures. he asked if they were put in an impossible position and he agreed with the assertion made on many occasions throughout this week by other barristers, particularly representing the relatives of those killed and survivors, that grenfell tower was a highly combustible death trap. it was guilty, people were guilty in his words of a serial noncompliance with building regulations and there was a complete failure at every stage in terms of fire safety. we also heard from the fire safety. we also heard from the fire officers association and all three organisations representing the firefighters rejected any criticism, any suggestion that the decisions of firefighters ta

it's notjust the fire service — park rangers are here, too, with mountain rescue teams and ambulance by the soldiers. currently, we've broken our boys down into various locations and we're beating the fire with paddles. we're supporting them by moving equipment, we're putting water on the fires and we're doing everything we can to stop this fire at the moment. the fire service says it most needs a significant downpour of rain, but none has been forecast for at least a week. this is the best chance of keeping the moors wet. and as they continue to smoulder, a pall of pollution and smoke hangs in the air. the effects of this fire go far beyond these moors. you really should not underestimate how much of a community effort this. behind me, someone has turned up to deliver supplies for the police officers and community workers keeping this area available and safe for the emergency teams to come in and out, everyone is pulling together. everyone wants the fire to be out. it is something everyone here has real investment in. judith, thank you. the prime minister is due in brussels shortly

the fire service said it faced multiple dilemmas about whether to tell people to leave because of thed toxic escape route, the single farewell, and difficulty communicating with residents. it had more calls that night from people needing immediate help to get out than in the previous decade from the whole of london. the price of petrol rose last month at the fastest rate for 18 years. figures from the rac show that rising global oil prices helped put up fuel costs by nearly 6p a litre in may, with the average price of petrol reaching 129.1ip a litre. average diesel prices rose to just over 132p a litre. the rac says higher crude oil prices and a weaker pound are to blame. newspapers across the north of england have joined forces to call on theresa may to get a grip and deal with the delays and cancellations on the rail network. the papers, including the manchester evening news, liverpool echo and yorkshire post, have urged the prime minister to call an emergency summit at downing street to find a solution to the disruption caused by the new rail timetables. danny savage reports. commu

there will be a lot of scrutiny of the fire service, and of the materials used in the refurbishment butay the building was designed. what we have heard from the experts reports today is that the building materials, in their opinion, were not appropriate, but the way the cladding system was fitted together, the gaps that it had exposed the plastic core of the cladding, the combustible part, because it was exposed, the flames captured on that and spread rapidly through the building. a lot of people with questions to answer, tom burridge, thank you. a teenagerfrom london has been found guilty of plotting a terror attack as part of britain's first all female cell, pledging allegiance to the islamic state group. safaa boular was 16 when she was first investigated by the police. her sister and mother have already pleaded guilty to terror offences. let's speak now to drjoana cook, who is an expert on the radicalisation of women at the international centre for the study of radicalisation at kings college. we are billing this as the first all—female cell, is that your understanding? in the uk, c

no one nit fire service is running from the questions that need to be addressed. et have the evidence of those who attended and tried to fight that fire that night. the implications seems to come across in the reporting that firefighters were sat back in some way. they were risking their lives that night, going up high into that building to save lives. they were removing people from the building. i don't think anyone‘s implying that the firefighters were standing back, it is whether they were sticking too rigidly into the rule, contained fires is what we do and didn't improvise enough on the night when they saw and maybe weren't taught to improvise enough when they saw the fire was not contained. well those are questions that i do think need to be addressed. i'm not sure we can answer them at the present time. but firefighters were removing large numbers of people from the building. and one question, hypothetical question is if a call is made to an emergency fire control where people say, i have opened my front door and the place is full of thick black smoke, what

it's linked to the stable strategy, the idea that the fire service was telling residents to stay in theirfor him didn't constitute the breach of the compartment, the idea that one compartment of the tower had been breached. the stable strategy is based on the idea that the fire will be contained within one part of the building —— the stay—put strategy. the list one part of the building —— the stay-put strategy. the list not working, he said that could have been serious in terms of the impact it had on firefighting in a high—rise building but initially he played the significance of that down because ultimately the fire was on forfour and the because ultimately the fire was on for four and the file lift was essentially really to carry equipment and personnel to get to the bridge two floors below the fire, where the fire crews connect their hoses and mount their operation to tackle the blaze. thank you. breaking news to bring cue from the courts. we are hearing that two people have been found guilty of murdering a nanny and have been sentenced to life imprisonment and the starting point for

the scottish fire and rescue service has said that the historic building has been extensively damaged with some surrounding buildings. it was undergoing a multi—million pound restoration project following a similar blaze four years ago. firefighters say there were no casualties. scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, has been visiting the site this afternoon to see the damage for herself. she praised the speed of the response and the skill of the firefighters in preventing the loss of lives. our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon, reports. this was a sight glasgow never expected to see again. its world —famous school of art engulfed by fire once more. thick black smoke and flames spreading quickly, rising high into the night sky. i looked up and i saw this massive orange cloud. and i just thought to myself, surely that's not the art school, at because it was on fire recently as well. weird that it is happening again. yeah, it feels like a dream. it can't be real. yeah, it can't be real. it isjust, like, strange. glasgow's not got very much luck with fires these days. i think pr

the fire service declared a major incident. 50 firefighters said to be putting a heavy attack on the sual for the moorland to catch fire, particularly in the summer months. but the residents here say what is unusual is that their houses are so close to pockets of flame like this which keep flaring up. it is unforgiving, inaccessible land. the hoses only reach so far. firefighters have to stamp out some elevated hotspots and keep coming back to re—extinguish fires. the heat was that intense it was turning the spray to steam, if you like. but it did stop it. it stopped it right on the peak. but as you can see this morning, it is flaming up again. it was just the smoke. the stinging smoke in your eyes. the army has been asked to be ready to respond. a request is being put together for help. but we have not made a decision yet whether or not to actually submit that request. so we are making the necessary preparations should they be needed. the point being, i think i get this sense just from being here, for the last couple of hours, it is a very changeable situation. as the country basks i
