the london fire brigade was called at 2:1i1i this morning.t was declared with a huge emergency response. 45 fire engines were sent with 225 firefighters. the first of them were at the scene within five minutes of the call. residents have been describing the terrifying moment of what happened in the block of flats in the early hours of this morning. one woman, who is six months pregnant, has told us that as they were making their way down the stairs, the smoke became heavier and everyone was coughing. she also said there was no warning and no fire alarm. other residents spoke of the terrifying situation. there was a lot of smoke. you couldn't breathe and we managed to reach downstairs, and we went in the hallway, in the hall, there was a firefighter that said, you know, justjust run across the other side of the building, basically. there was no alarm. we didn't hear any alarm. there is no sprinklers in that building at all. as red cross volunteers sorted clothing for people, a resident who was at work at the time said his 16—year—old son was i

the, the amount paid by london i'll say london. east really by the amount paid by london, about two thirds of the, of what is paid in the rest of the uk. but that gap has widened quite a lot over the past two decades. and i'd say there's three broad reasons for that. if you if you're looking at the tax side of the equafion looking at the tax side of the equation first, is that income is taxed at higher rates than capital gains, and there are more capital gains made in in london than the rest of the uk. the second is that non—work income has more advantageous tax treatment. so for example, dividends and income from rental properties are not subject to national insurance. and the third is that people in in london pay far lower levels of council tax as a proportion of the value of their property than the value of their property than the people in the rest of the uk. so this ipp report that you just mentioned says that the amounts paid in london are less than half those paid in the nonh than half those paid in the north east. >> why do

ordinary londoners don't have that june. >> no, no, no, ordinary londoners don't have that. don't have plots against our life. at least ihope plots against our life. at least i hope that we aren't having plots against our lives that regularly happen. >> yes, but there are plots against against brits every day. >> there are. there are specific plots against sadiq khan which there aren't specific plots against us. and we know like donald trump, there was an assassination attempt. he was that close from being killed again . and that is someone who again. and that is someone who has lots of security. so i think that it's not weird for someone who faces a large amount of death threats to say , i'm, i'm death threats to say, i'm, i'm i'm frightened about that. >> i agree, he needs it. my only point being is he has this security team. jews don't have security team. jews don't have security with them. police by their side all the time. londoners don't have it all the time. i'm just making the point. yes, he deserves it. yes there are threats against his life, but he has 24 hour secu

the gold will not leave london, and most likely, no matter what. yes, great britain and the united states keep a huge amount of this metal in storage, both their own and others', the americans alone have about 8,000 tons. it is believed that everyone more convenient. new york and london are the main trading floors, so when gold changes hands, it doesn't even need to be moved anywhere, just the accounting documents need to be changed. the problem is that it's almost impossible to return the bars when needed. india has been demanding its gold from london for decades, but has only returned 100 tons, or a quarter. even under ugachavis, britain refused to return its gold reserves to venezuela. the battle lasted a long time, and they managed to wrest some from john bull, but it looks like 60 tons will never return to karakos never. the situation with the americans is the same, almost the last one who got his gold from them in full was de gaulle. he, however, had to buy the french bars for paper... dollars, which the general sent to the states by steamshi
