His family say he is in Intensive Care suffering from serious smoke inhalation. They have thanked the bravery of the firefighters who risked their lives to get him out. He was finally rescued 11 hours after the blaze started. There is anger in the community, directed at almost anyone in the community. Sadiq khan saw it for himself when he went to visit. How many children died and what are you going to do about it . Police say they have now started criminal investigation. Thats not to say there was a crime committed, but they will investigate to establish whether there was one. Police voiced the hope that the final number of casualties will be below 100. They admit that some victims may never be identified. Meanwhile, Tens Of Thousands of people in tower blocks around the country are wondering if their homes are safe. These three tower blocks in luton are due to be refurbished with new cladding. The local council is now doublechecking to make sure it will be safe. 0ne resident said there had been plenty of fires before but they were never a big problem. Just contained in one flat because it is all concrete. As 0011 flat because it is all concrete. As 50011 as you flat because it is all concrete. As soon as you put cladding on the outside you have a fire source that will engulf the whole lot. The leader of the local council said they thought about installing a Sprinkle A System in the tower when it was renovated last year, but he said there was no collective view among residents in favour of it. 0ur correspondent has been following this throughout the morning. You saw when the tower was engulfed in fla mes when the tower was engulfed in fla m es to when the tower was engulfed in flames to where it is now. Whats the latest . The latest is that the death toll has gone up to 17. As you say, thats the official death toll. We know there were six bodies found around the base of the building and theres another 11 bodies still in theres another 11 bodies still in the tower block that havent been recovered. 0n the tower block that havent been recovered. On top of that we have the list of the dead. Probably something more than 60. Some of the National Newspapers say its a figure of more than 60. The bbc understands from talking to relatives and people searching for news about people on facebook, weve got a list of Something Like 60 names. There might be other people on named on top of that. You can understand the reluctance of the Emergency Services, the police and fire, to give precise numbers, but certainly they have warned that the death toll is likely to rise significantly. Its just a terribly difficult task to locate and remove bodies from that tower block behind me, likea bodies from that tower block behind me, like a giant black tombstone. We heard yesterday that some parts of the building are too dangerous to reach. Firefighters can get up the central Concrete Core but when they get to the top floor is the structure is not safe so they cant go in and they might be able to use drones to examine the outside of the building, there might be able to use specially trained dogs to go in, but at the moment the building is too dangerous for those firefighters to go in. They said it would be a long and complex operation to locate and remove the bodies. As we heard, police say there may be victims that will never be identified. Thanks very much. We will be speaking to a Forensic Fire Investigator later in the programme, discussing some of those points. Political parties are coming under increasing pressure to explain why more steps werent taken to prevent the Grenfell Tower block disaster.

Alongside some of these practical questions which are merging, there isa questions which are merging, there is a growing sense of anger amongst that community. I wonder, how is that community. I wonder, how is that being reflected by political leaders . Good morning. Theres a real sense at westminster of that sense of anger and how it has to be dealt with. And answers have to be provided. The Prime Minister in announcing that public enquiry yesterday are hoping that comes with a vehicle forfinding yesterday are hoping that comes with a vehicle for finding those answers, which she will be aware and the residents will be very soon as well that that is unlikely to provide the immediate and quick answers, the very nature of public enquiries is that they take time. I think there will be calls for some sort of interim report as soon as possible to try to adjust some of those concerns as quickly as can be achieved. Yesterday we saw political leaders heading down to the scene. We sawjeremy corbyn meeting friends and relatives, we saw him hugging one woman who was looking for someone who was missing. The Prime Minister went as well, although it was a pretty quick visit, Described Asa was a pretty quick visit, described as a private visit. She met Emergency Services and some charities but none of the local people. There has been some criticism of her for that. People. There has been some criticism of herfor that. My understanding is the calculation was made that it was a difficult situation for the Prime Minister. They were concerned about getting her away and the Security Detail she would have with her if she was roaming in amongst the crowd. As i say, there has been some criticism. Anyone in a position of authority, perhaps entirely understandably now, is facing the rafah, the anger, of local people. The wrath. Sadiq khan was facing that last night. Government has announced a scheme to make sure lots of extra funding goes in the direction of the local council.
