British Prime Minister orders public inquiry into the Grenfell Tower fire.

The British prime minister Theresa May has ordered a full public inquiry into the fire that destroyed the Grenfell Tower apartment block in London on Wednesday, amid mounting anger that such a disaster could happen.

Also in the programme: President Trump describes reports that he's under criminal investigation as the single greatest witch-hunt in political history, and one of Russia's most celebrated actors, Alexei Batalov, has died at the age of eighty-eight.
