London fire: No more survivors likely, say rescuers
Rescuers do not expect to find anyone else alive in the west London block of flats which was engulfed by a massive fire, the fire service says.
London Fire Commissioner Dany Cotton said there were still "unknown numbers" of people in the smouldering ruins of Grenfell Tower, in north Kensington.
People have been desperately seeking news of missing family and friends, after 12 people were confirmed dead.
Police have warned the number of deaths is expected to rise.
PM Theresa May has promised a full investigation, as questions were being asked about the speed at which the fire spread.
Thirty-four people remain in hospital - 18 of whom are in a critical condition.
Firefighters were called to the 24-storey residential tower at 00:54 BST on Wednesday, at a time when hundreds of people were thought to have been inside, most of them sleeping.
Many were woken by neighbours, or shouts from below, and fled the building. Fire crews rescued 65 adults and children, but some stayed in their homes, trapped by smoke and flames.
