Good evening. The london fire brigade commissioner dany cotton has rejected calls for her resignation which have come from survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire. But she has expressed her deepest sorrow at not being able to save more lives. 72 people died in the tower block fire in june 2017. A report following the first stage of the Public Inquiry has criticised the fire brigade for serious shortcomings in the way it dealt with the fire. The inquirys chairman said the absence of a plan to evacuate the tower was a major omission by the london fire brigade and more lives could have been saved had the so called stay put policy been abandoned sooner. Our special correspondent lucy manning reports. And a warning, some viewers may find some of the images in her report upsetting. Y . Y . The last thing i was hearing from my aunt was where are the firefighters. And i asked the same, where are the firefighters . Since the tower, i have no meaning in my life. No inquiry can comfort them. Nothing brings them back. No words ease their harsh reality. Grenfell was a National Tragedy but for them it was a deeply personal one. Losing their husband, daughter into children. Six month old child dying in her mothers arms. This is our family my whole family died the cladding that surrounded the building from spreading these flames broke building regulations. They were covered in a flammable material. The focus is what happened on the night, despite the bravery of some firefighters, the fire brigade is heavily criticised for institutional and systemic failures. Telling people to stay put in these flames cost lives. Told to stay put in the building, his five year old son did not make it out. On the night i was there, i was suffering and still suffering from the situation. There was no excuse. Suffering from the situation. There was no excuse. We should have been rescued and held by the firefighters she lost her mother and aunt. Theyre responsible to a job, they had training, they had legislations that told them what to do and they did not do it. They should be prosecuted and i am not seeing individual firemen that did a ha rd seeing individual firemen that did a hard job, bless them, seeing individual firemen that did a hardjob, bless them, they seeing individual firemen that did a hard job, bless them, they probably did not get paid that well, but the seniors of the top did not do well. I would not change a thing we did that night stopped by today, she apologised to the families. The 72 lives lost for the worst thing ever in the london fire brigade are truly sorry that we could not save everyones lives that night. I think youll be very difficult for us to draw that conclusion and i think even some have no expert evidence to draw that conclusion. Will you resign . No, i will retire in draw that conclusion. Will you resign . No, iwill retire in six months time because i will make those changes if i resign, i cannot do that. They were warned that there could be a serious fire moments before. My life was saved by a brave firefighter from the 16th floor who came and rescued me when i was taking my last breaths and in the report, they point out that there are many, many instances of brave and courageous acts by firefighters. My and courageous acts by firefighters. My own personal view is that she needs to be dismissed from her post. In the commons, they stood silent for a minute as survivors and bereaved looked on at the politicians they feel let them down. They asked for the truth and we promised them the truth. We owe them the truth. And today, the whole country, the whole world is finally hearing the truth about what happened at grenfell hearing the truth about what happened at gre nfell tower. Hearing the truth about what happened at Grenfell Tower. The simple fact is, mr speaker, the exact same cladding is on similar high rises, sprinklers have not been fitted and thousands of people will go to bed tonight and tomorrow night not feeling safe in this country. This tower is a devastating testa m e nt to this tower is a devastating testament to the companies that made the cladding. The authorities that allowed it to be put on in the fire brigade who saved some but failed others. With me now are david neita hes a member of the group bme lawyers for grenfell. And Arnold Tarling a chartered surveyor and fire expert. What stands out for you . Well, i was not too surprised by the outcome. The fact that it was taken in the industry that a lot of the comments made were unwise in regards to not making any changes in the comment that they made absolutely no difference had there been a landing on the shard. It showed a lack of understanding of willingness to learn from experience and the lack of learning from experience doesnt just come from grenfell, it comes from before that. We have had many fires, when previous which at one point the assistant and Deputy Commissioner with the role for safety a nd commissioner with the role for safety and assurance and the judge had issued what is called an order of 43 letter which called into question the application of building regulations and also the stay put policy. But one of the big mistakes is made when the state policy is that it is made when the state policy is thatitis is made when the state policy is that it is written in the wrong way around. What it says is stay put a much more affected by heat or smoke. If they admitted a different policy, u nless if they admitted a different policy, unless you are affected by heat and smoke, stay put. Then people would have understood it and people would have understood it and people would have been evacuated much sooner. On the other hand, there were people on the other hand, there were people on the night being told by the fire service to stay put and so, the order of the sentence surely didnt apply to the firefighters. They are only repeating the first part, stay put. But the reason they were doing thatis put. But the reason they were doing that is because they were not expecting the fire to move that fast. The people on the ground would not have expected the fire to move that fast. More senior people wouldve been reasonably aware of similar fires wouldve been reasonably aware of similarfires in dubai france and around the world. And it was well known that this was going on, i gave warnings in 2014 and fire offices we re warnings in 2014 and fire offices were there and people from the Building Research establishment for there. We raised the issue of cladding, timber cladding and nothing was done. What advice are they giving . That goes back that there was a chance to go back and go change things what advice was he given . Be here in the report saying that everyone is hearing the truth andi that everyone is hearing the truth and i suppose hearing the truth is not comforting unless action is being taken on the basis of the truth and one other things thats come today repeatedly from comments by those who understood that there are risks still applied to the 400 of the buildings covered in the same cladding or some the cladding. But on that, theyre only talking about buildings above 18 metres what about the buildings up to 18 metres . The properties that are clad with this material . I raised the issue with a member of the ministry of housing. And his responses to why it was still on there is that we do not have the capacity to cope with removing it all. Theres no edict thatis, removing it all. Theres no edict that is, not to remove cladding on low rise buildings and just as damaging there as it is on the high rise. Damaging there as it is on the highrise. And there are still cladding this material. Yes, indeed. So the high rise building should be the top of the priority list . Yes, they should be. But it should not be just concentrated on them. But yet, they have not been done . They have not been done know. We hear from the chairman saying that this has to be treated as a matter of emergencies. Below it has to be treated as an emergency. The leaseholders and others do not have money to do the work. There was a massive breakdown in the approved documents which have been highlighted in inquests in previous inquiries as being at fault in the approved documents led to the disaster that we have. It goes back to the government and advisers to the ministers, what advice did they give to make the building safe . Were going to add to leave it there, but thank you very much for joining us. The bill for a general election has cleared the house of lords this evening, and can now go forward for royal assent to allow parliament to be dissolved next week. Earlier, the Prime Minister has clashed with the labour leader over the nhs, brexit and leadership at the last Prime Ministers questions before polling day on december the 12th. Jeremy corbyn said voters had a once in a generation chance to save the nhs, which was in greater danger than at any time in its history. Borisjohnson warned of economic catastrophe and political disaster if labour got into power. 0ur Political EditorLaura Kuenssberg reports. The warm up. Parliament cameras capturing the last moments of this particular generation. The commons has examined every angle of brexit and failed to come to a conclusion. So that conclusion will not be for all of us to decide what we make of them. And the contrast between these two is profound. Of the twist that this election cannot be clearer. People have a chance to vote for real change and after years of conservative and lib dem cuts, tax hand outs for the riches. Conservative and lib dem cuts, tax handouts for the riches. Theyll be scrapping to be heard and it will not be a gentlemanly debate. Leadership means standing for the people of this country and getting brexit done and ending the dither and the delay. The time for protest is over, mr speaker, it is time for leadership. They have been trying out their lines, practising their pitches, this slogan youll hear again and again, but this is the substance of the plants of the country that will determine who has the privilege of coming back to this place and in the end, who takes up the Prime Ministers position in the glare and under the pressure of the dispatch box. Jeremy corbyn is already on the road, from the comments straight to the marginal seat, labour suggested that they might agree to another referendum on independence in scotland. Keeping hold of any campaign is harder than directing a group of toddler. For the next five e ks, is a big opportunity and the risk for the s p. Opportunity and the risk for the s p. Weeks. Opportunity and the risk for the s p. Weeks. The only way out of the mess us to stop brexit and a vote for the ds the mess us to stop brexit and a vote for the d5 in p is for the rate of scotla nd vote for the d5 in p is for the rate of scotland to choose its own future and not have borisjohnson determine oui and not have borisjohnson determine our future but put it into our hands. There might be a huge change, several of the mps gathering with the lib dem leader stood for different parties the last time around. The liberal democrats from fighting our most ambitious selection yet because this general election is one where the future of out election is one where the future of our country for generations is at sta ke. Our country for generations is at stake. More than 50 mps and made the decision to go, taking their own histories with them. Churchills grandson is saying goodbye. Pretty neck it has become a rougher place, we are in a period of profound disruption. But we are in an area where things are just blown up and institutions are in great strain. Would you forgive me for asking you what your graham teddy my grandfather may think of you stepping down . If youll be pleased, i tried. That is the thing. It has beena i tried. That is the thing. It has been a great honour and i really mean that. And im very sad to be going. Weather forced out by choice, elections are about farewells and these are the speakers last days in his official chair as well. This is the story of individuals and the soul. So thats the challenge on the ground what do the next few weeks hold . Well, just after midnight next wednesday, parliament will be dissolved and there will be a five Week Campaign until the country goes to the polls on december the 12th the first december election since 1923. As it stands, brexit is now due to happen by 31st of january 2020. Lets speak to our political correspondet helen catt. Helen, we were sitting in the report, some were leaving and the speaker, now we understand in the last hour, they have also decided to stand down. That tally of more than 50 mp5, stand down. That tally of more than 50 mps, nikki morgan, the culture secretary has stated that for the first time in18 secretary has stated that for the first time in 18 years, shall not be standing in receipts and particularly what is interesting about her letter that she has published is that she also cites what she says is the clear impact of herfamily in what she says is the clear impact of her family in the abuse she receives for doing thejob of her family in the abuse she receives for doing the job of a her family in the abuse she receives for doing thejob of a modern mp and says that is only worth it if parliament does what it is supposed to do and the implication of that is at the moment it has not. She mentioned that abuse which has been a topic that we have are particularly among female mps in the last sort of years becoming a real issue. We will see how that plays during the campaign. And what exactly a re during the campaign. And what exactly are you most looking forward to in this forthcoming campaign . What you think is going to be worth watching . I think it is going to be really Interesting Campaign across the board. We have the first december Election Campaign since the 19205 december Election Campaign since the 1920s and it is going to be unusual circumstances and anything can happen. So the parties can go in thinking that they wanted to be about one thing it will be entirely different as the campaign progresses in this one could be unpredictable because you have some unpredictable players in there too. And the conservatives are going to want to keep it on brexit because they feel they have a clear message there and they have a clear message there and they could be a really interesting factor in this because they have not been present in the general election, the brexit party. The snp are looking to build the case of scotlands right to choose, labour would like it to be Public Services but it does not really matter what the various parties wanted to be about, it is when you get the message is put before the voters we find out what really happens.
