the leader of kensington and chelsea council, nicholas paget—brown, has announced that he's standingown — after days of mounting criticism of the authority's response to the grenfell tower fire. it was rebuked by downing street after a decision last night to abort a public meeting — and there's been further evidence that cost—cutting resulted in a downgrading of building refurbishments. in his statement, mr paget—brown said he had to accept responsibility for what he called "perceived" failings after the tragedy — which has claimed according to police at least 80 lives. here's our home affairs correspondent tom symonds. were you pressured by no 10 to resign? the pressure simply got too great. he was the leader criticised with failing to cope with the crisis in his backyard. his council quickly lost the confidence of grenfell‘s victims. chanting: we wantjustice! we want justice! two weeks ago, his council offices were invaded. and last night, he couldn't even hold a council meeting after deciding that it wasn't possible to speak freely because journalists were in the room. in particul

it was just so unlike nicholas. >> by friday afternoon, the family was frantic. so you decided to call the police? >> we went in -- >> we went into the sheriff's department and filled out missing persons reports for both of them. >> as authorities processed those reports, three other sheriff's deputies were over on elm street investigating something so troubling they later called in a crime scene van. that got the attention of john and cathy lang, who saw the van go straight towards the house of their good friend, byron smith. a 64-year-old retired man living on his own. >> i was decorating the christmas tree. i saw a big, huge truck go down his road, called the crime scene unit. and i shouted for john, i think you were in the kitchen. and i said, call byron's cell. something has happened. >> what did you worry, what did you think had happened? >> i thought he was dead. >> cathy and john feared the worst for their friend, who had seemed out of sorts in recent months. everything was fine when byron first moved back to his hometown of little falls about five years

the royal correspondent nicholas witchell is at the king edward vii hospital in west london and sendhealth incident. no one expects the duke to be in hospital for more than a couple of nights. he was admitted last night on the road from windsor as a precautionary measure for the treatment of an infection linked to a pre—existing condition. that is thought to be a reference to 2012 when he was twice admitted for the treatment of a bladder infection. that was successful. the following year he had abdominal surgery. he recovered after a couple of months and in recent times his health as being good. however, he is 96 now. he is stepping back from public life. today he has been in good spirits. the fact the queen carried on with the programme at royal ascot, indicates there is no cause for concern. let's have a look at some of the other top stories. the prince of wales has visited the scene of monday's terror attack outside a mosque in north london. police are questioning a man held in connection with the attack in which a van was driven at worshippers. prince charles has sent a message f

. >> all right, joining me is chairman and ceo and president of american electric power, nicholas akinsuch for being with us, mr. chairman here. >> good to be with you, john. >> you heard from rex tillerson, an energy guy like yourself. he ran exxonmobil for years. he actually was in favor of the united states staying part of the paris climate deal. where do you stand? >> yeah, i think it was disappointing he got out of the agreement, but at the same time, i think it's really encouraging that he's going to stay engaged with the international community, because we do a lot of work with the international community about technology deployment and those types of things to advance around a cleaner energy future. so, i think it's great news to stay engaged. it is an international issue that we need to solve from that standpoint. >> do you think -- are you confident, or what proof do you have that he will stay engage snead former secretary of state john kerry said maybe not so eloquently, it's like o.j. simpson saying he's going to find the real killer. everybody knows he's not going to do tha

nicholas dudgeon having to balance their enthusiasm, people who got involved in politics to get involvedeon. the broader opinion has gone, let's focus on public services and have a bit of stability and calm down with all of this constitutional talk. a difficult balancing act for the snp. their whole raison d'etre or, the s&p, is scottish independence. at the same time, brexit has into being and that has thrown a spell in the works for everyone. we have seen the effect south of the border on westminster politics, now it is having a similar effect over that. this is the one silver lining in the cloud for theresa may. it is not happening, she can relax about this for a while. having said that, nicola sturgeon is a formidable politician. and you should never discount that. all politicians have their shelf life. she's been around for a long time. you know, it may be that her time. you know, it may be that her time is slowly coming to an end. ok, google have been naughty according to the european commission. that's the front page of the frying chill times as well, giles. brussels £2.1i billion

joining me now is ambassador nicholas burns. a former undersecretary of state for political affairs. he is now a professor at the harvard kennedy school of government. max boot, a senior fellow for national security studies at the council of foreign relations. he is a former adviser for mitt romney's 2012 campaign. and "new york times" reporter and msnbc contributor yamiche alcindor. let me start with you, yamiche. we finally get the president admitting he is under investigation. we went for a long period of time with statements and charges and rumors back and forward. and he kept really emphasizing, i have been told i'm not under investigation. now, it switches this week. he admits or concedes he's under investigation and then goes right after the investigators, saying it's a witch hunt. >> well, to me, it's a remarkable moment because now we have the president saying with no questions that he is now undeinvestigation. at's really important because he fired james comey for the main point that he wanted to get rid of this quote/

she wants to know whether or not this bill will cut nicholas' care and what this means for nicholas' future. i think it's wrong for republicans to push through a bill when nicholas' mother can't know what the impact will be on her and her child. so i believe we should post online any bill that's going to affect families like that and for that reason, i ask unanimous consent that a substitute or perfecting substitute amendment offered to calendar no. 120, h.r. 1628, not be in order if the text of the amendment has not been filed at the desk and made available on a public website for at least 72 hours, along with an analysis by the congressional budget office of the bill's budgetary coverage and cost implications. the presiding officer: is there objection? mr. mcconnell: i object. the presiding officer: objection is heard. mr. schatz: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from hawaii. mr. schatz: we democrats are here on the floor to take a and it against a bill that's a disaster for our nation's health care. medicaid patients, families with loved ones in nursing homes, peo

nicholas: this is a good question.n we are in this position is because of the ingenuity of a lot of the european gas producers that allowed us to get to this point. i think it will be market-driven. if we can continue to export higher volumes going into the future. i think there are policy things the administration is trying to do. i think we have identified from -- a trade transport, energy is important. if you look at natural gas trade, the deficit is $35 billion just for natural gas imports. that could be a billion dollars surplus in the u.s. that could get as high as $16 billion by 2020. anna: this is a growing story. how much is it help out by infrastructure restraints, if at all? i have been reading about the broker, tricky infrastructure constraints. is this something that holds back exports? nicholas: i think a bigger issue is that these projects take four or five years to build. rush to build these projects, and the first phase of projects are about to come on my next two years. but the u.s. is producing so mu
