for the moment, anniversary of the grenfell tower fire. renfell tower fire. for the moment, back to you. reeta, thank you very much. let‘s continue to watch what is happening outside st helen‘s church as people are filing out of that memorial service. and in those baskets on the ground, the 73 doves that charlotte was talking about, to represent the 72 people who died a year ago and a 73rd dove to represent the fears that there may have been people never identified who died inside grenfell. you can see david lammy mp there, who spoke during the service, reflecting on the chaos and confusion of a year ago, the search for those who were missing in the early hours. and he said today, i think of the victims who lost their beautiful lives. the people outside our carrying white roses, which they will bring with them once the doves have been released in a silent procession from st helen‘s to the base of grenfell tower, where of course, there has been a service today as well, the unveiling of a community mosaic, the reading out of the names of thos

take one flat, this is black 16, whether grenfell fire started. which should have contained any small fire, but then the building was refurbished. the windows were changed, with new, deeper plastic frames and insulation around them, both flammable. the inquiry‘s main theory is that this provided an escape route for flames to the outside, where cladding had been added, containing more plastic. this too burnt rapidly, turning a kitchen fire into an inferno. there was a catastrophic failure of the rainscreen cladding in terms of its ability to resist the fire spread across the walls of the building. all of the relevant experts are clear that the consequence was a fire that affected multiple stories and multiple compartments. it shot up the tower‘s pillars, entirely covered with cladding, and along the crown of the building, also cladding. the stay—put policy is used when buildings are designed to contain a fire. it's rare for other residents to be at risk and evacuation could hamper the firefighting, but this building had been changed and one inquiry

he accepted he had not done all the fire safety checks when he visited grenfell tower the previous yeared fire doors, escape routes. he also admitted they had not practised on high—rise buildings and he had not known about his boss's fears about us known about his boss's fears about us the book cladding. do you think you'll be able to identify a cladding fire if you saw one? no, i would not be able to identify a cladding fire because i did not know at that point that that was being used as a building material. in his written witness statement, mr dutton said when he arrived at the fire was quickly out of his comfort zone and was having to make decisions he had never made before. but he said we did all we could, we were all exhausted and did our best. mr dow did not feel well enough to continue his evidence today. he has left serious questions for the fire brigade and the way it trained its firefighters. lucy manning, bbc news. i'll be back with you for another of newsday tomorrow. time now for all the sports news in sport today. hello, i'm gavin ramjaun. this is sport today, live from t

he talks year anniversary of the grenfell tower fire. e also talks about the way we live alongside each other and the way we care for each other. he says that grenfell brought so other. he says that grenfell brought so many people together and it would be good if that continued without necessarily having to rally around a tragedy. it is a fundamental revolution in the way we care for each other, he says. and on twitter: what fa ntasyland is each other, he says. and on twitter: what fantasyland is the bishop living in? if more people look after themselves and didn't expect everything for nothing and stop blaming everybody else, we would all be better off. some of you may find that the deeply harsh but it is a point of view. we will also be talking about revenge pornography and the fact that one in three people who make a complaint to the police about it eventually withdraw the complaint because they are not guaranteed anonymity like victims of other alleged sexual crimes. we will be talking about that. this text: my daughter had personal i

as soon with the fire at grenfell tower. as soon as we with the fire at grenfell tower. dlines will be coming up in a few moments on the bbc news channel, in a moment we will say goodbye to viewers on bbc two but first let's look at the weather forecast. for many of us it's a fine and dry day outside, but a day of contrasts. not everywhere is staying dry, we've got some hit and miss heavy showers around. this is the scene taken by one of our weather watchers in north—west wales, beautiful blue skies with barely a cloud, contrast that to the south coast of england, west sussex, fairly grey skies and we will continue to see the threat of showers across parts of southern england in particular through into this afternoon. some of the showers could be heavy and potentially thundery for parts of kent and essex, towards cornwall as well. not all of us seeing them, they will be hit and miss with dry weather in between. more places staying dry, a bit cooler around the east coast, just one or two showers cropping up across the west of scotland and northern ireland. into this evenin

there can be no question that the grenfell fire was a terrible tragedy.news with a tribute was a piece of cheap dramatised marginal journalism. it would have been more appropriate to just allow viewers just to watch and listen to the tributes about the sombre background music which was more appropriate for a hollywood weepy film. and donna ward made this wider point about the weak‘s coverage. this is not news but maudlin, over intrusive reporting. do we need and on the spot reporter? do we need to ask a 13—year—old girl if she misses her uncle? there is an ongoing inquiry which has to give evidence, the bbc should not use its weight to emotionally influence this. the constant marking of anniversaries is not helpful or even of public interest. finally if you think we've forgotten about a certain large—scale sporting occasion that began on thursday that not something you could accuse the bbc off including its news output. no matter where they are harold, the start of a world cup retains the power to excite and you might like little else in sport. —— matter

the lead firefighter at the grenfell tower fire says he wasn't trained in evacuating people from a burninger block. through cladding and it wasn't checked at an earlier safety inspection. that is something that i didn't look at. i wasn't aware of... and knowing what i know now, it is certainly something i would have looked at without a doubt. today's evidence raises serious questions about london fire brigade and its ability to keep people safe in tower blocks. also tonight... mps are debating now on whether to approve a controversial third runway at heathrow. police injamaica say they are still trying to find a motive for the murder of a british couple. and england are back in training after their record—breaking triumph against panama yesterday. is coming up in sportsday, there is a reality check from russia as they are outclassed by uruguay. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. the fire—fighter who first led the response to the grenfell fire has said he wasn't trained in evacuating people from a burning tower block and accepted he hadn't done all the required safety checks o

, and just before the grenfell fire.fore the grenfell fire. on a summer night, three men drove a van into pedestrians on london bridge and then set about stabbing people enjoying an evening out. people murdered on that saturday night —— the people murdered on that saturday night involved french, australians and canadians. the only british victim was james mcmullan but his father simon, and his mother, and his sister say that all of their attem pts his sister say that all of their atte m pts to his sister say that all of their attempts to rememberjames have been disregarded. they wanted to put up this plaque but they have been turned down, twice. we, the victims, are the people who need to have input to be able to express our desires, to be able to put something thatis desires, to be able to put something that is meaningful, hopefully to all of us, but if not they will at least be able to pay respects in a way which we, as a family, of someone who has been caught up in this event deem fit. not to be blocked at every turn.

grenfell. and this is the worst civilian fire in terms of casualties that we have seen in the united kingdom sinceuk was in a different situation. grenfell has become totemic. i think that is why we have seen the remembrance overnight in london. i think it is quite rightly takes place. i do think the council needs to think again about how it is going to work with the grenfell survivors. an independent enquiry is ongoing. it has been really harrowing and extremely moving to hear some of the story showed in the enquiry. an ongoing process. so many questions still. let us hope they are properly a nswered still. let us hope they are properly answered for those who were affected, who survived. notjust those in the tower, but those who live in the community. it affected so live in the community. it affected so many. people just live in the community. it affected so many. peoplejust want live in the community. it affected so many. people just want to feel safe and secure. i think everybody, thinking about grenfell tower today, which is that for every body involved. let us move on. looking at the new york

as the prime minister pointed out, tomorrow marks one year on the anniversary of the grenfell tower fire. i will be meeting families again tomorrow at their silent the sad march. truth and reality is that many of them are still waiting for the security of a permanent home one year on from that disaster. when the prime minister met president donald trump last week, did she do as the foreign secretary suggested and ask him to take over the brexit negotiations? [laughter] [applause] >> mr. davis, you are a senior and supposedly cerebral member of the house. [laughter] in a leap year, anyway. [laughter] you must attempt to recover your composure, i am worried about you and for you. >> on the brexit negotiations, i might remind the honorable gentleman that before december, labor cast doubt on whether we would get a joint report agreed, we did. cast out on whether they got implementation and we did. i wanted to respond to the comment that the honorable gentleman made about the very important subject of providing those who were the victims of the grenfell tower fire with permanent house homes.

days after the fire, the prime minister promised to rehouse grenfell residents within three weeks. dozens of survivors are still dispersed across hotels and temporary flats. hi, antonio. good morning. good to see you again. how are you? antonio lived on the tenth floor of g re nfell tower with his 27—year—old son. during the early hours of the 14th ofjune, as the fire blazed through his tower block, he was rescued by firefighters. his son was out at the time. since the fire, antonio has lived in two hotels and this temporary flat in west london. it's temporary accommodation. it's a beautiful house but it's not my flat. it does not reflect my identity, my way of being, you understand? so if i want to put something up, i have to ask permission. so you can't decorate this place? no, it is nicely decorated but it is not my personal home like grenfell tower. and also, i cannot buy... over the past year, antonio has turned down six permanent properties offered to him by kensington and chelsea council. do you not worry that you are losing public sympathy? you have rejected six offers of pe

what we have heard this morning as the g re nfell we have heard this morning as the grenfell wasn't just the worst fire grenfell wasn't just the worst fire in a residential block in britain since the second world war. it was the fact that the warnings of residents were in ignored, symptomatic of inequality and injustice in our society. one barrister suggested that in the interest of those living in the tower, people he described as being down the social chain, if you like, we re down the social chain, if you like, were ignored while the interests of corporate greed pervaded, basically. the issue of racial, cultural and/ oi’ the issue of racial, cultural and/ or social injustice in grenfell isn't a topic in its own right for the inquiry to consider, but by highlighting the issue in such stark language, the survivors, the relatives of those killed and other residents hope that they can put pressure ultimately on the government to change that so that it does become a topic that the public inquiry considers more in the months to come. tom burrage, thank you. the labour leaderjeremy corbyn has accused the g
