Hi, Ayshah here, live from the Newsround studio this

:00:13.:00:15.

Great Britain have been breaking records

:00:16.:00:17.

Olympic superstar Adam Peaty broke the 50

:00:18.:00:23.

metre breaststroke world record for the second time

:00:24.:00:25.

in a day as he reached the World Aquatics Championships

:00:26.:00:28.

22-year-old Adam is the defending champion and after winning his

:00:29.:00:33.

semi-final he is now the first person in the world to swim faster

:00:34.:00:36.

Honestly, this morning I knew it was going to be hard to beat that, but

:00:37.:00:52.

coming out tonight, I was a bit down because it's been such an emotional

:00:53.:00:56.

last few days, so I thought I would do what I do, and I'm not going to

:00:57.:01:00.

waste a day and an opportunity because I don't know if it will be

:01:01.:01:03.

my last. I just went out there and did what I do.

:01:04.:01:05.

everyday could be banned in 23 years.

:01:06.:01:10.

to make them run will be replaced by electric cars.

:01:11.:01:15.

The government say they are doing it because they want

:01:16.:01:17.

Lots of people all over the UK live in tower blocks like these.

:01:18.:01:24.

But since the massive fire at Grenfell Tower in London five

:01:25.:01:28.

weeks ago, there have been concerns about how safe they are in

:01:29.:01:31.

Ricky has been to meet Shania who lives in a tower block in London.

:01:32.:01:51.

Hello, Ricky. How long have you lived here for? Basically a year.

:01:52.:01:57.

What have we got here? This is the kitchen. Wow, what a view. This is

:01:58.:02:05.

incredible. What is it like living here and having this view? I love

:02:06.:02:13.

it. The Shard is there. After a long day at school, Chennai is home and

:02:14.:02:17.

showing the round her flat in South London. I used to irritate my mum

:02:18.:02:26.

with my friends. I have lived here for a year and I enjoy it. I like

:02:27.:02:32.

the view, I like my bedroom and I like the bigger space, and it's got

:02:33.:02:38.

a roof garden. I prefer it. Since last month's fire at Grenfell Tower,

:02:39.:02:42.

people who look after other tower blocks around the country have been

:02:43.:02:44.

working to make sure buildings are safe in the future and to make sure

:02:45.:02:48.

a tragedy like that never happens again. What was it like when the

:02:49.:02:56.

fire happened at Grenfell Tower? Did you see anything? Yes, I could see

:02:57.:02:57.

the smoke. Yes, shocking. One of the big things that has been

:02:58.:03:11.

talked about at the Grenfell Tower Fire is this stuff. It is called

:03:12.:03:16.

cladding and it is wrapped around buildings to try and protect it from

:03:17.:03:19.

the weather and to also change the appearance of the tower. Some

:03:20.:03:24.

experts have said that the type of cladding used could have had a part

:03:25.:03:28.

in making the fire at Grenfell Tower much worse.

:03:29.:03:34.

The building here has the same type of cladding that -- but the company

:03:35.:03:42.

that owns it said it would be taken off and replace. They say the fire

:03:43.:03:45.

brigade have checked the building and say it to live in right now

:03:46.:03:49.

because of all the other safety features, including sprinklers and

:03:50.:03:54.

smoke alarms in every home. They told us to test our fire alarms,

:03:55.:03:59.

both of them, and to be careful. We have been given a lot of advice. We

:04:00.:04:03.

have sprinklers basically everywhere. Every room you going,

:04:04.:04:07.

there is a sprinkler. We have been told we are safe and there is

:04:08.:04:14.

nothing for us to worry about. Shania and her mum have heard a lot

:04:15.:04:19.

about tower blocks since the fire at Grenfell Tower. Many people in the

:04:20.:04:21.

blocks with cladding won the authorities to do more to make them

:04:22.:04:25.

feel safe, but Shania and her mum say they are happy living here.

:04:26.:04:28.

13 elephants stopped traffic as they spent half an hour

:04:29.:04:36.

enjoying themselves, munching on bananas

:04:37.:04:38.

It's not the first time that elephants have invaded the village.

:04:39.:04:45.

They're highly respected by the locals who let them hang out

:04:46.:04:47.

Newsround's back right here in about half an hour.

:04:48.:05:04.
