An ignited container was thrown towards the Volant Media building in Park Royal at about 20:30 BST on Wednesday, but landed in a car park where the fire quickly went out.

Oisin McGuinness, 21, Nathan Dunn, 19, and a 16-year-old boy appeared side-by-side in the dock at London's Westminster Magistrates' Court charged with arson with intent to endanger life.
