:01:58. > :02:05.What have we got here? This is the kitchen. Wow, what a view. This is

:02:06. > :02:13.incredible. What is it like living here and having this view? I love

:02:14. > :02:17.it. The Shard is there. After a long day at school, Chennai is home and

:02:18. > :02:26.showing the round her flat in South London. I used to irritate my mum

:02:27. > :02:32.with my friends. I have lived here for a year and I enjoy it. I like

:02:33. > :02:38.the view, I like my bedroom and I like the bigger space, and it's got

:02:39. > :02:42.a roof garden. I prefer it. Since last month's fire at Grenfell Tower,

:02:43. > :02:44.people who look after other tower blocks around the country have been

:02:45. > :02:48.working to make sure buildings are safe in the future and to make sure

:02:49. > :02:56.a tragedy like that never happens again. What was it like when the

:02:57. > :02:57.fire happened at Grenfell Tower? Did you see anything? Yes, I could see

:02:58. > :03:11.the smoke. Yes, shocking. One of the big things that has been

:03:12. > :03:16.talked about at the Grenfell Tower Fire is this stuff. It is called

:03:17. > :03:19.cladding and it is wrapped around buildings to try and protect it from

:03:20. > :03:24.the weather and to also change the appearance of the tower. Some

:03:25. > :03:28.experts have said that the type of cladding used could have had a part

:03:29. > :03:34.in making the fire at Grenfell Tower much worse.

:03:35. > :03:42.The building here has the same type of cladding that -- but the company

:03:43. > :03:45.that owns it said it would be taken off and replace. They say the fire

:03:46. > :03:49.brigade have checked the building and say it to live in right now

:03:50. > :03:54.because of all the other safety features, including sprinklers and

:03:55. > :03:59.smoke alarms in every home. They told us to test our fire alarms,

:04:00. > :04:03.both of them, and to be careful. We have been given a lot of advice. We

:04:04. > :04:07.have sprinklers basically everywhere. Every room you going,

:04:08. > :04:14.there is a sprinkler. We have been told we are safe and there is

:04:15. > :04:19.nothing for us to worry about. Shania and her mum have heard a lot

:04:20. > :04:21.about tower blocks since the fire at Grenfell Tower. Many people in the

:04:22. > :04:25.blocks with cladding won the authorities to do more to make them

:04:26. > :04:28.feel safe, but Shania and her mum say they are happy living here.

:04:29. > :04:36.13 elephants stopped traffic as they spent half an hour

:04:37. > :04:38.enjoying themselves, munching on bananas
