today to remember the victims of the blaze. nick quraishi reports. the devastation caused by the inferno stops people in their tracks. the dark reality abundantly clear in broad daylight. four days on, the community is still angry about a lack of co—ordination, communication and accountability. it's always the public that runs to the rescue. where's the authorities? where are they? residents, community leaders and volunteers took their frustrations to downing street, spending two hours with the prime minister. it was a robust discussion, there was forceful emotion in the room, people were able to say what they wanted to say and we felt that was listened to and listened to carefully. theresa may, who has come in for widespread personal criticism over her handling of the crisis, said she'd heard the concerns. the prime minister admitted: whitehall officials have been drafted in to help kensington and chelsea council cope with the response and the red cross will provide psychological support. as people wait and pray for the missing, church services today will remember those who didn't mak

yet left their properties to evacuate. nick quraishi reports. testing around the clock. the government says as many as 600 high—rise blocks will need to be checked for fire safety. councils are being urged to prioritise buildings they're most worried about. so far, 3a samples of cladding examined across 17 councils in england haven't met the required standards, a 100% failure rate. the councils include manchester, hounslow and plymouth. fire authorities are also having to examine exposed pipes, cable ducts, escape routes and fire doors. it's a huge undertaking and it's not just residential blocks. checks are taking place in scores of nhs buildings, like hull royal infirmary. ministers say a failed test doesn't necessarily mean a building has to be evacuated, but in north london hundreds of people are spending a second night in temporary accommodation. camden council says it was left with no choice because of multiple fire safety failures. some, though, still don't want to go. the council officials came to the door, banging on the door, "get out, get out," but the chap round the hallw

speak to nick quraishi, our correspondent we were speaking to a few moments ago, who was moved. where are you now, nick has yellow just moved was moved. where are you now, nick has yellowjust moved a short distance away. if you've been with me for the last hour or so, i've been speaking from just inside the cordon but that gordon has moved, it was near london bridge and as soon as we got here it moved further back and it's been moved again as police, and it's been moved again as police, and shout at people —— cordon. saying move, there could be danger, or they have to move for operational reasons. and incident unfolded on london bridge a couple of hours ago. a number of people were hit with a white van. three people got out, some stabbings were reported, then another incident unfolded on the of london bridge, and then another potential incident in three areas in a dramatic few hours. we know there's been more than one fatality on london bridge, we don't know how many but that's what police have been telling us. clearly everyone is taking this very seriously, theresa may is to chai

evacuation are evident. nick quraishi, bbc news. our correspondent catriona renton is in camden in north london. good morning. good morning. you will see there are people still coming here to the centre to get advice. we have seen people in the last few minutes coming to talk to council officials at the door here, to get information. but we are seeing far fewer people coming here now than we have seen over the last 36 hours or so. have seen over the last 36 hours or so. that's because over that time many people have now been found temporary accommodation. as we've just heard, from a council statement we received, offers of accommodation have been made to nearly 200 people who have had to leave and most of these offers, they say, have been accepted. the council say they have worked through the night and will continue today, to secure further accommodation, whilst emergency fireworks are undertaken and construction work has already started on one of the blocks, which was one that was going to be evacuated but wasn't evacuated. the other four while, evacuated but wasn't evacuated. the other

been evacuated. 83 people refused to leave. 0ne tower cleared as safe. here is nick quraishi with the details. "we cannot guarantee your safety." the message from camden council as 4000 residents were told to leave their homes late on friday night. individuals are not being forced to leave, they are being told to leave for their own safety and it's up to them to decide. i intend to stay put and go back in there tonight. i think it is a knee—jerk reaction from the council. in the aftermath of grenfell tower, cladding here had been ruled unsafe. concerns have also been raised about fire doors and gas pipes. any area which was not completely to the best standards was a deep concern given the combination and that was the message from the fire services today. the issue is a combination of the two factors that is why we have taken the action we have taken tonight. at the leisure centre, air beds was assembled to cater for up to 100 residents. it will take up to four weeks to remove the external cladding and during that time, people are being urged to stay with family and friends or in hot

reminder of the complex and lengthy process of recovering bodies from this charred shell. nick quraishi, bbc news. 0ur correspondent simonjones is in west london, outside notting hill methodist church, where one of the services will be held. it is going to be an incredibly sad occasion. well, after the shock, after the grief, after the anger, church leaders are hoping that today will be a day of reflection. there is going to be a service here at 11am. 0f is going to be a service here at 11am. of course, the churches in this area played a huge role since the tragedy. some of them opened up their doors on the night it was happening, at 3am, got people in, gave them some shelter, they were pa rt gave them some shelter, they were part of taking in donations of food and clothing from the local to help those affected. community to help those affected. but a lot of people here have been saying, although it is greatly church has done that, why is it up to the church to do it? they are asking where the government has and also where the local been, and also where the local council has be

that many parents don't know when young children should have their first check—up. nick quraishi reports. medical advice recommends a child should start dental checkups when they develop their first tooth. yet this analysis of all nhs trusts in england has found a worrying lack of take—up. in the year to march, just 20% of one to two—year—olds saw a dentist, meaning 80% didn't. 60% aged one to four missed out on a dental checkup during that same period. the faculty of dental surgery is blaming a widespread misunderstanding about when children should have their first checkup, which, according to guidelines, is around six months. in the year to 2016, well over 9,000 children in england aged one to four had teeth extracted in hospitals, often under general anaesthetic. most of this is down to tooth decay, which the faculty insists is 90% preventable. it says, in a system where dental checkups are free for all under—18s, there is no excuse for the findings. could a political party with no mps become the party of government in just one election? that is the challenge facing the new fr
