policy of stay put so for a long time too long of a time is what the inquiry has concluded the fire service is asked residents to stay where they are and not move so that's a policy that normally can work if the fire is being contained to particular units of high rise block like rainfall but it didn't work because the fire in fact had spread uncontrollably already within the highrise tower so that's a policy that comes under strong criticism also generally they did have a look at issues like the cladding for example so the house had a recent prefab richmond and the cladding which was put on off to the house was built and in recent years that led to the fire basically spreading uncontrollably now and the families of the victims have been responding to the findings. well there has been a lot of criticism that's being reserved for the council i think and reported already shows that the fire service is the individual firemen they're being held in great regard by a by the people in the community and many that i've spoken to have said that they don't want any individual firefighter being blamed t

but there is criticism at a much higher level of the fire service, so things like tactics, equipment was described as gravely inadequate. just one example, of the first four fire crews that arrived that morning, not a single person had training in how to deal with a high—rise fire involving cladding like this. then there is specific criticism around there is specific criticism around the stay put policy, this is the idea that people in the flat were calling 999, in the tower in their flats, calling 999 and one of the to stay put in their flats, not to not to try to escape. that is quite standard advice in a tower block fire like this. the idea is, the theory called compartmentalisation, you keep the fire in the kitchen, you keep the fire in the kitchen, you put it out, it avoids 200—300 people trying to make their way down the stairs at the same time which could be dangerous. the criticism here is the fire service didn't realise early enough that that was not working. it says by 1:30am in the morning, 1:50am at the latest, they should have realised that wasn't working. in fact, that

it is heavily critical of the london fire brigade and the response of emergency services that night. the union representing rank and file firefighters the inquiry is "back to front" and should be focussing on why the building was dangerous the truth is that that fire spread how we did because it was wrapped in flammable cladding, that is a key issue and yet it is not seriously being addressed. the firefighters turned up after that happens, after the building was turned, in reality, into a death trap. the prime minister will try today for a fourth time to secure an early general election in december. i hope that opposition party members would want to trust the public, let them have a say. they had seemed determined not to deliver on the referendum but i think it is time that at this stage, to make sure we can deliver on brexit, we let the general public have a say. it looks like game on for a winter election, with borisjohnson like game on for a winter election, with boris johnson looking like game on for a winter election, with borisjohnson looking set to achieve backing for his decem

the cause of the fire and its rapid spread, the way in which emergency services and others handled the immediate response. as the sponsoring minister under the terms of the inquiries act 2005, i this morning lead copies before parliament of that report. i was in no doubt that the house should have the opportunity to debate it on the day of publication. grenfell was a national tragedy, and this is a report of great national importance. however, i recognise that sir martin has produced a very substantial piece of work, almost 1000 pages across four volumes, the vast majority of honourable and right honourable members will not yet have had the opportunity, therefore, to digest it and analyse it in any great detail, and i believe that members do have an important role to play in scrutinising such reports and the government's response to them, so let me reassure the house that we will seek to schedule further debate on sir martin's findings at the earliest suitable opportunity so that members can debate the report in detail. this may be obviously after the election, but we will certainly en

today, the head of the fire service, dany cotton, personally apologised. r and london fire brigade are truly sorry we could not have saved everyone's life that night. the commissioner was criticised for her evidence in the inquiry when she said she would not have done anything differently that night. the report now, in black and white, shows what went wrong. so it's time the commissioner of the london fire brigade takes ownership of that, of those failings. the report says important steps must be taken to improve fire safety without delay. and it calls on the government to develop new guidelines for evacuating high—rise residential buildings. the government will be accepting all of the recommendations of the judge, sir martin moore—bick, in this first phase in the inquiry and we want lessons to be learnt urgently. families hope today's recommendations will help to bring in changes that could save lives. and this inquiry has some way to go yet. next year, it will consider questions on the cladding, building regulations and the role of the council. and there

the issue is it's the fire service that are criticised by sir martin moore—bick, quite heavily, but he great pains to say that individual firefighters aren't necessarily to blame for anything at all. ultimately they were working within a structure that was too rigid and did not give these guys the proper advice, the proper support, the proper equipment and the proper information and training that they needed in order to be able to fulfil theirjobs that night. the fa ct to fulfil theirjobs that night. the fact that mistakes were made is a tragedy, but those mistakes should not be laid at the doors of any of the individual firefighters on the front line. the management of london fire brigade and the politicians who decided how much its funding was etc, for example mare borisjohnson as he was at the time, are the ones who have a lot of questions to answer, and i do hope that those questions are asked and we do get some sincere and honest answers from them, and maybe some of them accepting responsibility for what they did or didn't do. so that question about responsibility or accountabilit

details leaked to the media this morning suggest the fire service has been heavily criticised for its the first emergency call of the night. quick, quick, quick, quick. they're on their way. as the fire took hold, residents who rang 999 were told to stay put. i mean, my uncle lived on the top floor of the tower. and he called the fire services on a number of occasions that night. he was calm, collected, because he was told to stay where he was. they knew where he was and they were coming to get him. and then, eventually, the smoke came into his flat and he... ..he died, you know. you know, they didn't do enough, i feel. could the fire service have done more? normally fires in tower blocks are contained in one flat. residents are told to stay put because it's safer than trying to get out. your full name? danielle amara cotton. the public enquiry was told there was an early need for a total evacuation. but at grenfell the stay put policy was kept in place for almost two hours. i wouldn't change anything we did on the night, i think... the head of london's fire brigade stunned residents

and we'll pull out all the fire service fire suppression i can tell you what's a led to that decision and what's caused the delay throughout t afternoon into the evening. afternoon most afternoon and into the evening we've been a we've been trying to get to a point working with the new star. with their subject matter experts from the petrochemical. the petrochemical mutual aid organization. with thdir contractors and our and our fire suppression crews to get to the point where we could vent adjacent tanks that we've talked about quite a bit over the last 24 plus hours. the ones that were concerned might have been damaged by yesterday's fire. we are very close to getting that done the venting that is and new store new star is going to take care of in the evening hours into tomorrow. we've been taking measurements all day long to assess any kind of threat from vapor from the various sources in the facility and we've had 0 a indication of any kind of a threat ignition. all afternoon. at this the containment ponds we've been talking about. are still have not been great. they still have th

parts of the report seen by the bbc are critical of the fire service response on the night of the fire the report. we've not yet read the report in full. we've seen the headlines. we will see it at ten o'clock, along with everyone else. i think there are obviously lessons that have been identified. our task is to read that report thoroughly, turn those lessons into lessons learned and then make sure that we move forward, improving fire and rescue services and helping to serve the communities that we should do. do you feel, this is something that we touched on yesterday, i know there are details within that report which obviously you don't want to go into until it's officially released at ten o'clock this morning. do you feel that members of the fire service have been unfairly scrutinised ? well, we don't shy away from the scrutiny. i think it's right that we are looked at and questioned, as well, but we do sometimes question the fact that we've had planners, designers, architects, construction firms, subcontractors, building owners, building maintenance — all those things have gone wro

all those things failed before the fire service comes along to put things right. ation failure is being laid at the feet of the fire and rescue service. the chairman of the inquiry, sir martin moore—bick, met the grenfell families yesterday and told them he has written to the prime minister, saying he confidently expects the government and those in charge of the emergency services to implement his recommendations without delay. and the bereaved wonder if they will ever get justice. hamid aljafari's family didn't all escape. his father ali died. there's not a day i won't remember him. every second, anywhere, i can smell him, i can feel him, you know? the memories, you know? to be honest, i don't know, we lost what we are fighting for, i don't know the meaning ofjustice. i don't know, it's now more than two years. we're kind of like leftovers, we don't know what's happening. this tower once dominated the skyline in the most terrible way way, a symbol now of so many failings, and the families agonise about how 72 people could have died in what was supposed to be the s

but the fire service does have questions to answer. graham satchell, bbc news. f the london fire brigade, i wonder what your reaction is to the planning about this type of incident, saying it was wholly inadequate? a girl it is unfortunate somebody has leaked this, it will cause a lot of dismay to firefighters and the local community and we are complying with the agreement we reached with the g re nfell tower agreement we reached with the grenfell tower inquiry. the first frustration firefighters will have is that, as we want from the start, the inquiry is back to front. we are looking at the night of the fire instead of what led up to it. the truth is that fire spread in the way it did because it was wrapped in clu b it did because it was wrapped in club —— in flammable cladding, that isa club —— in flammable cladding, that is a key issue but it is not being addressed. the firefighters turned up addressed. the firefighters turned up after the building had, in reality, already been turned into a death trap. firefighters' reactions, which were remarkable in the ci

jeremy corbyn is embroiled in this now because the labour party voiced their support for the fire serviceesidents are attacking them for having done that. this has become political as well. and it will be about, i suppose it's about whether people will take ownership. and when this first happened there were criticisms with the politicians and how they handled it and it took time for people to go down and actually meet with people. this thing totally, it was shocking. it was seen across the world and i think there were multiple failures actually just even in think there were multiple failures actuallyjust even in terms of the response in the royal stepped in and kind of seen as the most sensitive people around the whole time. we actually went and met some of the victims. jets let's just hope there's nothing like this again in there's nothing like this again in the report makes a difference. we've only got a minute or so left so let us only got a minute or so left so let us turn to something slightly more cheerful. going back to the telegraph and we are coming to halloween and obviously the

i've been in the fire service almost 38 yea rs been in the fire service almost 38 years and the reasonill. speaking to relatives of those who died. good morning from bbc london, i'm alpa patel. the chief inspector of prisons says he has concerns that child inmates are being sent back to feltham young 0ffenders institute in west london. injuly, inspectors found there had been an appalling decline in standards calling it violent and dangerous. the ministry ofjustice insists improvements have been made after stopping new placements there in the summer. i think anyone must be concerned about conditions in which children are held and particularly after such are held and particularly after such a difficult inspection where we found that simply conditions were unsuitable and unsafe so yes of course i'm concerned and we will be returning in due course to inspect again andi returning in due course to inspect again and i hope that this time we will find a sustained improvement, a proper improvement built on solid foundations. an average of 230 domestic abuse offences are reported in the capital

police say they are investigating the incident with the fire service but the details seem to be that banks, some people say it might have been caused by an exploding gas canister or cylinder but that again remains part of the investigation and, as you can see, there are still people here from the fire service making sure that the scene is kept pristine overnight, although all the roads around springfield street in morecambe have now reopened. this week we've been looking at the devastating impact of knife crime on young people and their families. figures given to the bbc show that in london alone this year there have been more than 3,000 injuries caused in knife attacks. quite apart from the impact on the victims and their families, there can be serious effects on entire communities. in the third of my special reports on knife crime, i spoke to some of the people living in one london borough that's been deeply affected by knife crime. the ripples of knife crime spread fast whole communities are damaged. there were members of staff were trying to massage this boy's heart outside our sc

jessica rang the fire service and was told to stay put. at no time was she asked to leave. um... did. no—one did. jessica was on the phone for 55 minutes. it was the longest call of the night. the line was still open when she died. to my mind, hers was a managed death. the public enquiry heard that the fire at grenfell tower was out of control after 27 minutes, but the stay—put policy, telling residents to remain in their flats, was left in place for almost two hours. the fact that no—one took charge in starting an evacuation early on, the fact that they didn't know how to evacuate people, really, from that type of building, baffles me. had they evacuated early on, we would have had a lot less lives lost. the remit of the enquiry‘s first report is narrow. it will look at the events of the night, how the fire started and spread, and the fire service is likely to be criticised. but the bigger questions about building regulations, the role of the local authority and construction companies, blame, and justice won't be addressed until next year. and still, today, there are hundreds of

from them is that they are happy that a level of scrutiny and criticism has been applied to the fire service but they feel that this report has been done back to front because phase 2 which begins next year will look at the people who made the decisions about the renovation who made the decisions about the cladding that was to be used the council is the tenants organization the contractors involved who as far as the local community are concerned are the people directly responsible for this fire in the 1st place so there's a level of frustration here that they've got to wait even longer it's 2 and a half years since this fire before people are actually held accountable the people they feel are responsible and on top of that a police investigation into what happened to grenfell can't be completed until after phase 2 so they're a long long way from seeing justice done for what happened at grenfell. more officials in the u.s. will give evidence on what they knew about president gone from surface to pressure cranes president into investigating a political rival they'll testify before an impeachme

really the most important assets in the fire service.two very important bills for fire service, and first responders yesterday. and that includes sb542, which is a presumptive clause for ptsd for first responders. really, what it says is the trauma that the firefighters see on a daily basis, collectively is a mental health condition that needs to be considered presumptive for any sort of treatment and care. that's a really important step for firefighters. >> this means they can get worker's compensation, while they are sort of recovering from what they're going through. >> yeah, that's exactly right. i think that's probably the biggest consideration for this, and a lot of communities, firefighters act as the first responders from medical emergencies to fires. you take those daily incidents, the shootings, the traumatic accidents, the medical emergencies they're responding on, you compound that with a lot of destruction, and sometimes into communities they live. those daily stressors add up. there's a continual rock being put in the backp

government on fire safety well control now what do you make of the criticism levelled at london's fire service industry port. i think some of the criticisms are genuine. i think what's slightly odd is the entire emphasis being on the fire brigade the way it has been in the last only 24 hours or so there were holes in the regulations that clothing didn't comply with building regulations the public materials were found to be flammable so the manufacturers are awful the people at city. put. a price the reason it's called bow is because the people who received a copy of the report early received on monday that includes the bereaved survivors relatives and called participants it was disappointing was that it was leaked yesterday before those people were able to speak out themselves because they all signed an agreement not to do so until today. and to the film which of anger and outrage when this tragedy took place 2 years ago and some of that anger remains how much progress has been made in the u.k. to help prevent fires like a grand friends from happening again. not as much as most people would li
