NewsReutersArconic knowingly supplied flammable panels for use in tower - emails
By Tom Bergin LONDON (Reuters) - Six emails sent by and to an Arconic Inc sales manager raise questions about why the company supplied combustible cladding to a distributor for use at Grenfell Tower, despite publicly warning such panels were a fire risk for tall buildings. The emails, dating from 2014 and seen by Reuters, were between Deborah French, Arconic's UK sales manager, and executives at the contractors involved in the bidding process for the refurbishment contract at Grenfell Tower in London, where 79 people died in a blaze last week. When asked about the emails, Arconic said in a statement that it had known the panels would be used at Grenfell Tower but that it was not its role to decide what was or was not compliant with local building regulations.

The pessimists were wrong about Brexit, it hasn’t damaged the economy – yet
Had Europe remained the free trade area that the UK joined in 1973, it might have been. Well, yes, because it should encourage both the UK and Europe to look beyond the rather bad-tempered present debate and think about what might be the optimal relationship between the two sides.
NewsReutersUAE sees 'parting of ways' if Qatar does not accept Arab demands
By Aziz El Yaakoubi DUBAI (Reuters) - A senior United Arab Emirates official said on Saturday that if Qatar did not accept an ultimatum issued by fellow Arab states which imposed a boycott this month on the tiny Gulf Arab nation, there would be a "parting of ways". The 13-point list of demands from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and the UAE include closing the Al Jazeera satellite television network, curbing relations with Iran, shutting a Turkish base in Doha and paying reparations. The demands are apparently aimed at dismantling Qatar's two-decade-old interventionist foreign policy, which has reflected the clout generated by its vast natural gas and oil wealth but incensed conservative Arab peers over its alleged support for Islamists they regard as mortal threats to their dynastic rule.

Andrea Leadsom appeared to praise the supposed strong negotiating team, which has already been rebuffed twice in the first week of talks.

Demons are demons, no one is impervious to the perils of addiction, not even Ant McPartlin.

UK: More tower blocks fail safety tests after Grenfell fire
Britain’s housing safety scandal intensified on Saturday as officials confirmed that 27 tower blocks in 15 council areas of England had failed fire safety tests. The news follows chaotic scenes on Friday night as thousands of North London residents were forced to leave their high-rise homes amid safety concerns following the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy. Work to secure their flats on the Chalcots estate could take up to four weeks and urgent accommodation was being sought by Camden Council. More supplies and food donations arriving at the Chalcots relief centre at Swiss Cottage Leisure Centre pic.twitter.com/8cengWfKHu— Camden New Journal (@NewJournal) 24 juin 2017 Council leader Georgia Gould said: “The most important thing, I think, is to keep communicating with people, take a personalised approach, you know. “We’ve got social services here working with people who need extra support. And just keep reassuring people that we are doing this because we want them to be safe and we will do everything in our power to make sure they’re safely housed before we get them back into their blocks.” Here’s an update we did around midnight with council leader Georgia Gould where she explains Chalcots evacuation https://t.co/5Sw1V7dhlQ pic.twitter.com/IKlqTHwCPn— Camden New Journal (@NewJournal) 24 juin 2017 Five tower blocks in Camden were cleared on Friday although one was later deemed safe. Outside cladding is the focus of investigations into why the Grenfell fire spread so quickly, killing at least 79 people, having started in a fridge freezer. British officials have conducted tests on some 600 high-rise buildings across England after fire ravaged the Grenfell social tower block in west London on June 14, in the capital’s most deadly blaze since World War Two. Prime Minister Theresa May, who was forced to apologise for the government’s initial slow response to the tragedy, said the authorities were now racing to establish what needed to be done. “In some cases it’s possible to take mitigating action,“ she told Sky news. “In others it’s been necessary for people to move out on a temporary basis and that is what happened in Camden last night.” “What is needed to keep people safe is being done” says Prime Minister theresa_may responding to the #Camden estate evacuation pic.twitter.com/PqcNPWoZLP— Sky News (SkyNews) 24 juin 2017 The fire has become a flashpoint for public anger at the record of May’s Conservative Party in government following austerity -driven cuts to local authority budgets. Grenfell Tower is located in Kensington, one of the richest boroughs in Europe. British police have said they are considering bringing manslaughter charges over the Grenfell fire. with Reuters
