The chief executive of west London's Kensington and Chelsea Council - who's been among the officials and politicians facing criticism over the Grenfell Tower fire - has resigned. Nicholas Holgate called the disaster, in which at least 79 people died, "heart-breaking", adding that remaining in office would be a "distraction".

He also said that Local Government Secretary Sajid Javid had asked him to quit, but Mr Javid hasn't yet commented on the claim.

Prime Minister Theresa May announced on Wednesday that 68 social housing flats in Kensington Row, about 1.5 miles away from Grenfell Tower, would be made available to survivors.

Many UK opposition politicians want a unilateral offer that EU migrants can stay, but Mrs May has so far said a reciprocal deal with the EU is needed.

Harry speaks out about monarchy and Diana's funeral

He says he doesn't want to destroy the "magic" of the monarchy, but Prince Harry has spoken candidly about the stress of the top role. "Is there any one of the Royal Family who wants to be king or queen? I don't think so," he said in an interview with Newsweek magazine. The prince also questioned why, at the funeral of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997, he was required to join the procession behind her coffin through the streets of London. No child of 12 "should be asked to do that", he said.
