London fire

The Metropolitan Police say manslaughter, health and safety, and fire safety charges will be considered.

BBC reports a total of 79 people are feared dead after the blaze destroyed 151 homes in the Kensington tower block and nearby.

In Salford, cladding is to be removed from nine of its residential tower blocks because of safety concerns.

An outpouring of heart-wrenching messages from London's Syrian community mourned the death of Mohammad Al-Hajali, 23, a civil engineering student at the University of West London.

At least 17 people have been confirmed dead in Wednesday's blaze in the 24-story tower, and that number is likely to rise, officials said.

The student arrived in the UK in 2014 after fleeing his home in Daraa, Syria, and crossing the Mediterranean Sea from Turkey.
