BREXIT ROW THREATENS UK PM'S POSITION

UK Prime Minister Theresa May's senior ministers are meeting to discuss Brexit amid a row which has led to speculation over her leadership.

Brexit Secretary David Davis is reportedly considering resigning over Mrs May's plans for a 'backstop' to avoid a hard Irish border.

The proposal would involve the UK matching EU tariffs temporarily - but some Brexiteers believe it could be in place indefinitely.

Theresa May had been hoping to have an agreement in place with her cabinet ahead of a meeting of Eu leaders later this month.

James McGrory of Open Britain - which campaigns against a so-called 'hard Brexit' - says David Davis needs to make his position clear.

GRENFELL FIRE RESIDENT 'DID NOTHING WRONG'

The man who lived in the apartment in which the fire started that killed dozens in the Grenfell Tower disaster bears no responsibility, according to his lawyer.

The public inquiry into the fire has heard that Behailu Kebede called emergency services rapidly, and alerted flatmates and neighbours as soon as he saw smoke.

Mr Kebede was able to leave the London towerblock and saw the blaze spreading rapidly up the building.

It's thought the fire of June last year - which killed 72 people - started in a corner of his kitchen.

Behailu Kebede's lawyer told the Grenfell Inquiry his client is an important witness to what happened - but not a criminal suspect.
