Hello and welcome to Central London when in two hours we will get that second and final report into the Grenfell Tower Fire disaster in which 72 people lost their lives a little over seven years ago. The inquiry has been running more than six years. The culmination of so much work. And, of course, some key people will look for answers and they include bereaved families, families and friends of the 72 people, the survivors of the fire as well as the wider Grenfell Tower community. I spoke to a survivor who told me that while today is important, it will not represent a point of closure for many people who are looking for action, consequences, accountability and a path towards possible prosecution. Some of the bereaved did not want this public inquiry to be the first step. They wanted a Police Investigation to be the first step. They will wait to hear what the chair of the inquiry will say today which might point possibly towards next steps. We will have many Reports Today and keep you up
