Welcome to the World Today, an hour of international news from the bbc. We begin here in london. In June 2017 a debit sitting fire broke out at the Grenfell Tower. 72 people died and dozens more were Injured. For more than seven years, families and survivors have been waiting to find out what went wrong and today they finally got answers from the public inquiry. It says the people killed in the fire were failed it on the Server Level by successive governments, companies and the authorities, through incompetence, honesty and greed. All of the debts were avoidable to now the families of those who died wantjustice. All the deaths were avoidable. 0ur Report is from tom symonds. It includes images of Grenfell Tower on fire. There have been seven years of mornings over grenfell with no definitive answers to the question, why did this happen . Today was different. But this is how it all began. A fridge caught fire, the owner called 999 then got out, then turned on his camera. 31 minutes later, flames reached the roof, then unstoppable. Buildings are designed to prevent fires spreading. As these pictures show, this one totally failed. Nick burton was among the few rescued, guided to safety. I dont actually remember coming out into the light. I dont remember, like, being handed over, i dont remember when i took my first real breath. I know that i thought i was going to die and melt at some stage. He coughs. In the tower. They call that the grenfell cough, but he lost his wife, pily, after the fire. She was the last of its 72 victims. And this was the final conclusion of the chairman of the seven year public inquiry. The simple truth is that the deaths that occurred were all avoidable, and those who lived in the tower were badly failed over a number of years and in a number of different ways by those who were responsible for ensuring the safety of the building and its occupants. The largest group representing victims of the fire have always said exactly that. Human life was never a priority, and we lost friends, neighbours and Loved Ones in the most horrific way, through greed, corruption, incompetence and negligence. If youre looking for the one Person Or Company that might have been to blame for the deaths of 72 people here at grenfell, you wont find it in this massive seven volume report, because this was a failure of the system at all levels, across the board and it started at the top, with Governments Labour and conservative. They were warned fires involving flammable cladding over 18 years. Six died at Lakanal House in south london, but ministers and civil servants didnt change the regulations governing building materials. In 2010, David Cameron and nick Cleggs Government wanted a bonfire of regulations to help businesses. In the run up to grenfell, the inquiry says, matters of safety were ignored, delayed or disregarded. In 2016, the ageing west London Block was refurbished, with new cladding, to make it look good next to a newly constructed school. But look at the Design Sheets of Aluminium And Plastic shaped into square boxes. A multinational, arconic, made the sheets. It didnt come up with the design, but it knew the Box Shape was extremely dangerous, according to the inquiry. It had commissioned tests and found the boxes collected molten plastic. Yet this was deliberately concealed from the construction market, and arconic must take responsibility for the use of cladding at grenfell, the report says. A host of contractors were involved in the work itself, including an architect, studio e, a cladding installer, harley facades, and a project manager, rydon. They were incompetent, the inquiry found, and passed the buck when it came to safety. The Prime Minister visited grenfell two weeks ago without any publicity, leaving a wreath. Today, he said it was imperative there was a swift police investigation. And he went further. So i can tell the House Today that this government will write to all companies found by the inquiry to have been part of these horrific failings as the first step to stop them being awarded government contracts. And we will, of course, support the metropolitan police and the prosecutors as they complete their investigation. But nazanin aghlani, who lost her mother, wanted the police investigation, which has been delayed by this inquiry, to take priority. It has certainly delayed justice for us. Its meant that criminal Prosecutions Couldnt have happened, and all those people that should be facing criminal prosecutions have had a platform to kind of trial their story. No charges are expected until the end of 2026 at the earliest, nearly ten years after grenfell. Tom symonds, bbc news. Seven Yea Rs seven years on, suivivois seven years on, survivors of the fire and those bruised by its a thatjustice has not been delivered. Lucy manning has spent the day with people affected say that. 72 names, and one of them Khadija Khalloufi is theirs. Khadija khalloufi. Their daughter, sister and aunt. Khadija was a joyful person. My sister is always smiling. She always have a positive attitude. How does it feel to hear that your sister and the other deaths were avoidable . When you are hearing that, everything was avoidable, you hurt also because of their dishonesty. You have anger inside you. You say, what are they waiting for, to make charges, to make criminal prosecution manslaughter, to give us justice . And this is what we want. 1,700 pages that amplify injustice, grief and fury. We are traumatised. We are empty inside now. Seven years, justice delayed isjustice denied. And we were robbed of our right for this justice. Its thought 52 year old khadija went to check on another family as she tried to escape. She never made it out of the building. We want to speak about khadija as a good memory. But we speak all the time, khadija was burnt, khadija died in that circumstances, so we are hurting our self. Hello, were calling from Grenfell Tower, yes. What flat are you in . 183. Were trying to get out. Marcio and Andrea Gomes and their two children were trapped on the 21st floor. This was their 999 call. They survived, but andrea was seven months pregnant, and Baby Logan was stillborn. We knew exactly what our truth was. Its great to see it now in black and white, written down, but you can see there from the fraudulence, the greed, the dishonesty that was going on. Does it give you the answers about how and why your little baby died . No, i dont think it gives me the answers of how logan died, or how anybody died. I mean, we can see there, it could have been all avoidable. Its good to hear, which i already knew, that logan died peacefully. Sorry. Its ok. Yeah, and i knew that from the doctors reports, but theres something about hearing it in the inquiry as well. But it could have been all avoided, grenfell could have been avoided in its entirety, so im glad he wrote that down. Grenfell was notjust a building, but a community. The babies, children, parents and grandparents died here, the report is clear, due to dishonesty, disregard and incompetence. Lucy manning, bbc news. Israels prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has benjamin Neta Nyahu has addressed Benjamin Netanyahu has addressed the media from jerusalem. He said israel will not withdraw its troops from the Border Area between southern goj up and egypt until theres a guarantee that it can never be used as a lifeline for hamas. I agreed to reduce the number of troops along the Philadelphi Corridor, 0k . Because we dont need a division and a half on this eight Mile Corridor and we dont need it, ok . They can both protect themselves and prevent the smuggling of terrorists, of the hostages them outside and keep the corridor intact and prevent its perforation. So we dont need that much and i said we can reduce the number of the troops, and we did, but i think the other think they are asking is, what happens in phase two, 0k . Were talking about phase one, 42 days. Again, in somewhat reduced presence because he dont need as large a force, but we are also ready to begin discussions about a permanent Cease Fire, and the conditions that we shall have for permanent Cease Fire must include a situation where the Philadelphi Corridor cannot be perforated Stub Somebody has to be there, that. Me anyone. Who will actually show us, not on paper, not in words, not in a slide, but on the ground for the day after day, week after week, month after month, that they can actually prevent the recurrence of what happened, we are open to consider it. But i dont see that happening. And until that happens, i dont see that happening right now, and in till that happens, until that happens, were there. Benjamin netanyahu speaking a little earlier. Lets speak to Ourjerusalem Correspondent Mike Thomson. No deviation from the war goals, then, make . Indeed, not, no, he goals, then, make . Indeed, not, no. He has goals, then, make . Indeed, not, no. He hasiust goals, then, make . Indeed, not, no, he hasjust totally goals, then, make . Indeed, not, no, he hasjust totally doubled i no, he has just totally doubled down on this insistence that is really troops, even if in reduced numbers, must remain in the Philadelphi Corridor, and that has been a Deal Breaker for hamas, which has said repeatedly that its complete the undetectable to them and they wont sign and Cease Fire deal that includes that completely un acceptable. 0riginally, Mr Netanyahu was supposed to have agreed to a Bridging Arrangement with the us Secretary Of State Antony Blinken after a long discussion, in which she had said that he was fully on board for it and it was now up to hamas, but he appears to have added this reduced factor rather than withdrawal, just reducing the number, hamas has said no numbers accountable. It must be a full withdrawal. He was also questioned about whether he had promised that withdrawal to Antony Blinken, the us Secretary Of State. Exactly, yes, as i wasjust saying there, she had had a long meeting with mr blinken, three hours, after which israel was on board and it was up to hamas to compromise and agree a deal, blinken said, butjust hours later, Mr Netanyahu said he felt troops remaining in that corridor between the southern border of gaza with egypt, that was essential to stop weapons and other things being smuggled by hamas making their defeat, as he put it, difficult if not impossible. Some of the reporters there at that conference Democrats Conference for putting forward the use of the hostages that Press Conference. So what degree are they going to be satisfied with the Press Conference . I be satisfied with the Press Conference . Be satisfied with the Press Conference . I think they are auoin to conference . I think they are going to be conference . I think they are going to be externally going to be externally dissatisfied. It has been said, some families and the politicians, including the Defence Minister you have the land, that, essentially, what Mr Netanyahu is doing is sacrificing the lives of hostages by not agreeing a Deal Andindeed Hostages by not agreeing a deal and indeed four of the six who were killed by hamas, they were, its understood, believed to be on the list of hostages to be on the list of hostages to be on the list of hostages to be released and could have been released last month had a deal been reached Defence Yoav gallant. Mr netanyahu was insisting, yes, if we do make a deal now, were only endangering ourselves the future, people say we can come back and deal with the problem if it arises on that border, but he said, look at lebanon. We are not able to do that they are. Look at what happened since we point out in 2005, and he was saying it would just endanger more israeli lives. The map he showed, no reference to the west bank, where we have seen violence flare, jewish settlers and palestinian, those who live in the west bank, palestinians, coming to blows, palestinians, coming to blows, palestinians having died and been Injured.

More as the details come in. Hello there. Look out for contrasting Weather Conditions across the country over the next few days. After having the wettest summer on record in scotland, the sunshine will come as a welcome surprise and it will turn increasingly humid. More cloud across eastern Scotland And North East England, but again, still quite warm. And then further south, well see a spell of Heavy Rain as an area of low pressure develops, and that front is going to lingerfor a few days at least. So, Heavy Rain across Southern England and parts of south wales. You can see the first signs of that first thing on thursday morning. Its going to continue to drift its way steadily westwards and intensify. Quite a lot of Cloud Spilling in off the north sea, but with lighter winds further north and west, here, we should get a little more sunshine. And in that shelter, temperatures will start to respond, so we could see highs perhaps on Thursday Afternoon of 22 degrees. Now, lets take a look at what happens through thursday evening, because that rain will intensify further. A spell of Heavy Rain moving its way across South West england. That eases away, and then another pulse of wet weather is going to feed in towards the early hours of friday morning. Dont forget the brighter colours, the intensity of the rainfall. Some areas could see as much as 80 to 100mm of rain before this low pressure pulls away. So another wet start across the South West, with further areas of Showery Rain Pushing into south East England as well. An easterly wind will hopefully give a little more sunshine across eastern england, and more Humidity And Warmth to go with it, so temperatures potentially peaking at 25 degrees. We might see 25 in Western Scotland as well. Into saturday, that area of low Pressure Potentiallyjust drifts that little bit further south, but still the risk of further Heavy Rain, sunny spells elsewhere, and again those temperatures into the mid 20s. But by the time we get into sunday, it looks likely that the low pressure will then start to drift its way that little bit further north and east. So the midlands, Parts Of Lincolnshire and perhaps East Anglia could see more in the way of heavier rain. And cloudier conditions potentially further north as well, as the Wind Direction is now starting to change, so not quite as warm, not quite as humid. Take care. This is bbc news. The headlines. For people had been killed following the shooting at a High School at the us state of georgia. The police say one suspect is now in custody. The us issue sanctions against executives at rush possible state funded broadcaster accusing them of influencing the president ial election in november.
