London fire: Council leader denies bad handling of fire response

The leader of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Nicholas Paget-Brown, has told the BBC the council has a "very well organised" operation in response to the fire at Grenfell Tower.

Responding to accusations from survivors that the council has not provided the support they need, Mr Paget-Brown said he "understands" the criticisms.

Police say at least 58 people are dead or missing following the fire on Tuesday night. The number is expected to rise.
