observer reports that the government repeatedly failed to act on fire safety warnings before the fire at grenfellads with the queen's respond to the fire, praising her majesty for calming the nation. the sunday telegraph says theresa may could face a leadership challenge from within her own party if she waters down brexit. the sunday times reports that senior conservative figures have told the prime minister she has ten days to improve her performance orface a confidence vote in the party. let's have a closer look through the papers. the sunday telegraph, which of course all the papers are focusing on, the tragedy that happened in north kensington. the sunday telegraph, the inferno response, not good enough, and admits the pm. obviously reflecting on her statement. just saying that basically it wasn't good enough, robert. it is her body language, i think they are all talking about, it isn't manoeuvring adroitly enough, to get up to see the victims. she does feel very deeply about this, ironically, but finds it difficult to get her feelings across, as her great friend, faithful first the te na nt

more now on the grenfell tower fire. chairing a meeting of the government task force that's been set up to support victims of the grenfell tower fire in west london. at least 30 people are known to have been killed but many are still missing. let's go straight to west london and my colleague ben brown. ben. we have been getting some more information, haven't we? we're hoping for a police news conference, actually. it was due to be at one o'clock yearjust close to g re nfell tower be at one o'clock yearjust close to grenfell tower with the metropolitan police commander stuart cundy. that is actually now been delayed. we're not sure how long for but we will be getting an update, or at least the latest information from the police on the investigation into what happened in the tower block and also possibly the casualties figures. the dovetail still standing officially at 30 but the police have always said that will rise. unofficially, we understand that the total of dead and missing is currently 70 and minute 2a people in hos

the grenfell fire killed at least 79 people. local london officials say grenfell has changed everything. >> i realize it is disruptive to people's lives, but safety comes first. if it is not safe, people need to go. >> what we found while the insulation was safe, the standard was not fire retardant. obviously this was disappointing. we shared that news with our residents and on thursday night, we had a public meeting with residents where they shared a number of concerns about fire safety that i hadn't been aware of. >> let's now bring in a professor of structure engineering at city engineering in the city of london. looking back at the fire, if it was the cladding, how would it help the fire spread so quickly and why are authorities concerned about other buildings? >> because it has been determined that the cladding has flammable material. there is a serious risk of fire and, of course, we have seen evidence in the grenfell building. the fire authorities have made a risk assessment and decided that the fire services could not cop

opened with a minute's silence, to remember those affected by the recent terror attacks, and the grenfell tower firence. musicians and fans remembering those who died at grenfell towers and in the terror attacks in london and manchester. recent events mean already significant security here has increased even further. as thousands of people have come come into the festival, bag searches and body searches. and it's notjust at entry points. across the festival site, random checks as well as a police presence that's hard to miss. the organisers try to make sure festivalgoers feel safe without affecting their enjoyment. people here feel they've got the balance just about right. it's a self policing place. everyone is here for everyone else. looking after each other so i'm sure we'll all be fine. so, you feel safe? yeah, definitely. although there was a bit more security and a bit more time getting through the gates, it's for a really good reason and i think everyone isjust having a great time and behaving really well and everyone is being so kind to each other. none of it seems to have taken away from th

but introducing them widely might mean a new approach to fire safety. grenfellpassive safety. could all blocks have active measures to prevent fire? one of these modern developments will have fire detection systems and sprinklers, and bringing those older blocks up to this sort of standard would not be cheap, and it would certainly be disruptive for the residents. but what price should we put on a life, especially on the lives of those living in towers, often the poorest in society? this disaster has triggered a national debate which could last yea rs. the jury on the bill cosby sex assault trial continues to be deadlocked after five days of deliberation. the judge has instructed thejury to continue to try to reach a verdict. mr cosby is accused of drugging and sexually assaulting andrea constand at his philadelphia—area home in 200a. he spoke to supporters outside the trial. ijust want i just want to wish all of the fathers are happy fathers day and i wa nt to fathers are happy fathers day and i want to thank the jury for their long days and that i must work in

he began by reflecting on the grenfell disaster. the firedon has killed at least 79 people. what makes it both a tragedy and an outrage is that every single one of those deaths could have been avoided. turning to the speech itself, he argued there was very little in it. a threadbare legislative programme from a government that has lost its majority and apparently run out of ideas altogether. this would be a sin legislative programme, even if it was for one year, but for two years? two yea rs 7 there is not enough in it to fill a year. he turned to what was not in the speech, including means testing the winter fuel payment. and older people and their families might also be keen for some clarity around the government's policy on social care. whether it is still what was originally set out in the conservative manifesto or whether it is what was later amended to, or whether it is no something else entirely. and then, it was on to brexit. we need full access to the single market and the customs arrangements that provide britain as the brexit secr

we are seeing as a result of what happened of the terrible fire in grenfell fire in kensington, we have in samples of cladding and materials on their tower blocks. these have been tested, many have been found not to be to the fire safety standards. that is why action has been taken. in some cases it is possible to take mitigating action. in others it has been necessary to have people move out on a temporary basis. that is what happened in camden last night. it was notjust a question of the cladding in camden. there were a number of issues that came together which meant the fire service was concerned about those tower blocks. you have considered that the grenfell response amounted to a failure of the state. what has been done to avoid that being the case in terms of these evacuations? i did indeed say the initial response to the grenfell tower fire was not good enough. that is why the government stepped in. we have been providing the capacity, the capability, for the kensington and chelsea area. we are bringing other people in so we can see people who have lost their homes in the grenfel

jon, there were lots of concerns about coverage of the grenfell tower fire. week a number of viewers commented on it being used as a backdrop to news bulletins when it was still burning. was that a concern of yours? yes, that was the main one. there was no real need to have somebody on the scene standing in front of a burning tower. it seemed as though you were dwelling on... in a way, it was a type of hysteria, because in the end it wound a lot of people up to make protests when they might otherwise not have done. the bbc need to realise that perhaps they were part of the megaphones talk by a lot of people, including politicians, who incited those people to behave like that. and that is down to planning people making sure that they are installing fireproof panels. she can't be responsible for that, and yet, some people were blaming herfor it. you think the bbc was doing interviews in an irresponsible way? i don't think you helped matters by allowing those people to say what they were saying, particularly outside when they were protesting at the town hall. we

he says, following the horrific fire and grenfell tower, councils with tower blocks in there every haverking with there every have been working with the local fire service and undertaking urgent reviews of their buildings. double checks having made to make sure that previous work has been carried out properly. thatjust came in from the local govenment association. let's get the latest on the investigation into the fire now from our correspondent mark lowen, who's at the police cordon. you heard in richard lister‘s report a clip from the metropolitan police who came out here to give us a little more information this morning, in which they confirmed that there were at least 30 people known to have been killed in this fire, but the representative from the metropolitan police said there are many more bodies inside the building and that is now the painstaking forensic work that is continuing. when you look at the charred shell of grenfell tower, you can see how difficult it would be for people to access particularly the higherfloors for people to access particularly the higher floors will st

the shadow of the worst fire in decades now looms large over social housing. grenfell was destroyed from the bottom to the top. the fire started in a kitchen on the lower floor. now police have confirmed what eyewitnesses said, the origin of the inferno was a hotpoint fridge, like this one, in that kitchen. flames escaped through a window and began to race up and across the outside of the building. which is why the focus right from the start has been on what was added to the tower during its refurbishment. aluminium cladding and foam insulation and, right from the start, police wanted to know how fire resistant was it. preliminary tests on the insulation samples collected from grenfell tower show that they combusted soon after the test started. the initial tests on the cladding tiles also failed the safety tests. such are our safety concerns on the outcome of those tests we have shared our data with the department for communities and local government. the cladding and insulation simply should not have burned so quickly. instead of a fire which devoured the tower, it sh

he said that the grenfell tower fire highlights the flaws of conservative party policy. s raised concerns about the lack of fire safety in the block. the action group warned that "it is a truly terrifying thought that the action group firmly believes that only a catastrophic event will expose the ineptitude and incompetence of our landlord." so not only should more had been done to prevent those tragic deaths, but the prime minister has now had to publicly apologise for her government is pitiful response for those who have lost their homes and loved ones. a tower block in flames due to poor building quality and an heroic response by the fire and rescue service who are desperately overstretched and understaffed and local government response that has left victims sleeping out for a few days and bridges as they had nowhere else to go. make no mistake, this is the brutal reality of austerity economics that has failed on its own terms and leads to falling living standards and inequality and disasters. amidst all the recriminations, local groups are still working hard to suppor

joins us, to talk a bit about the shape of that forthcoming inquiry into the gronefeld file —— grenfell tower firew into the gronefeld file —— grenfell towerfire. we know who into the gronefeld file —— grenfell tower fire. we know who the judge will be, sir martin moore—bick, but what needs to happen in terms of appointing an advocate for the residents? the government announced this concept of an independent public advocate last week, and it's not at this stage play how that appointment will take place. the thing that we at the law society of very clear about is that the residents must have a say in who that is. we don't have a say in who that is. we don't have strong views between the public inquiry or inquests route, but if this were an inquest, the residents would be able to choose their own advocates to represent them. so even though that may not be the position here, it's essential that their views are taken fully into account in making this appointment. what will determine whether they get a chance to have a say in who their abaca is? the details have not yet been announced by the government

my government will initiate into the tragic fire at grenfell fire and ensure the appropriate lessons are learned. to support victims by government will take forward measures to introduce an independent public that will help bereaved families after public disaster and support them from public inquest. we will continue to invest in our armed forces making a commitment to spend at least 2% of national income on defense and delivering on the armed forces covenant across the united kingdom. my government will bring forward proposals to ensure the critical national infrastructure is protected to safeguard national security. a commission for countering extremism will be established to support the government and stamping out extremist ideology and all of its forms so it is denied a safe space to spread. the night of the terrorist attacks in manchester and london my counterterrorism strategy will be reviewed to ensure police and security services have all the powers they need and the custodial sentences for terrorism related offenses are sufficient to keep the population safe. my ministers wi
