British Police, investigating the Grenfell Tower fire, say they have “reasonable grounds” to suspect that corporate manslaughter offences may have been committed. Grenfell Tower campaigners, however, haven't been fully satisfied with the announcement, as organizations guilty of corporate manslaughter are only liable to a fine, and not imprisonment. Camilia Shambayati reports from London.
