have failed safety checks on cladding, in the wake

:01:51.:01:54.

of the Grenfell Tower fire disaster. 60 high rise buildings in 25

:01:55.:01:58.

local authority areas have now been checked,

:01:59.:02:01.

and the results show a 100% failure rate in meeting

:02:02.:02:03.

fire safety standards. Local councils are being urged

:02:04.:02:08.

to send samples in for testing more still to be checked.

here's Duncan Kennedy. Pendleton in Salford, the latest

location where tower block cladding is being removed. It is unsettling

:02:28.:02:34.

sight for another group of residents have lived here many years. It is

:02:35.:02:40.

left us as residents very confused and very concerned about the safety

:02:41.:02:45.

of where we live. The government has continued to test cladding. Tonight,

:02:46.:02:50.

they released new figures. 60 buildings have now failed safety

:02:51.:02:55.

checks. That is across 25 local authorities. Of the 25, 14 have been

:02:56.:03:02.

named, including Barnet, Manchester and Sunderland. The government

:03:03.:03:05.

confirmed that of those tested, so far there has been a 100% failure

:03:06.:03:11.

rate on samples. It is a list that keeps on growing, but it is also the

:03:12.:03:15.

fact that every single sample of cladding being tested is now failing

:03:16.:03:20.

that will be most worrying for these local authorities and their

:03:21.:03:24.

residents, but also the government, whose bill for fixing all of this

:03:25.:03:32.

continues to mount. In 2009, six people died at Lakanal House in

:03:33.:03:37.

London. The report author was Sir Kenneth Knight. He has been drafted

:03:38.:03:41.

in by the government to join a team to look at the early lessons to be

:03:42.:03:44.

learned from the Grenfell Tower disaster. We asked if the tests

:03:45.:03:48.

being carried out go further than the current regulations. In answer

:03:49.:03:54.

to your question, it is being tested what is the current building

:03:55.:03:57.

regulations in place. And the tests would imply that it wouldn't meet

:03:58.:04:03.

the current building regular -- regulations, and that is the crucial

:04:04.:04:04.

point. Arnold has been a fire safety point. Arnold has been a fire safety

:04:05.:04:12.

expert for 20 years. He says cladding currently only has to

:04:13.:04:15.

withstand flame tests from the front. But he says this is simply

:04:16.:04:21.

not enough. Make the tests more robust. Test everything, test every

:04:22.:04:30.

angle, then you will know it works. Today, entire families have been

:04:31.:04:33.

hauling their possessions away from four tower blocks. Safety measures

:04:34.:04:38.

are being put in place. Many were too upset to speak about it. Around

:04:39.:04:44.

200 people, including this man, are refusing to leave the blocks. Are

:04:45.:04:51.

you planning to stay? Staying. Have you been told to leave today? Michel

:04:52.:05:01.

Burkard and her 87-year-old father, Edward, are prepared to move out,

:05:02.:05:05.

but don't know where to go. We went with them to check out a local hotel

:05:06.:05:09.

the council are offering. I have actually heard they are quite hot.

:05:10.:05:17.

Michelle filmed on their phone to see if it was suitable for their

:05:18.:05:21.

family. Afterwards, she seemed satisfied with what was being

:05:22.:05:26.

offered. How was the Hotel? It was OK. Not too bad. Good enough? Yeah,

:05:27.:05:34.

good enough. With you moving? Yes, we will. Camden Council says it

remove people are limited. We just keep having the conversation again

:05:46.:05:48.

and again, keeping people awake, making sure there are people on the

:05:49.:05:53.

block. The fire services say it is not safe to stay, and they need to

:05:54.:05:58.

go. 11 days ago few would have known the words Grenfell Tower or

:05:59.:06:02.

cladding. But because of them, the lives of thousands of people

:06:03.:06:03.

continued to be changed. Questions were Camden Council in

:06:04.:06:05.

the Chalcots Estate for us tonight. Questions were Camden Council in

:06:06.:06:10.

north London over testing and whether or not they can force people

:06:11.:06:15.

to leave over safety fears. Indeed, these are issues for councils across

:06:16.:06:22.

England. Yeah, lots of confusion here and elsewhere over this issue

:06:23.:06:25.

of accommodation and over the issue of testing. As far as the

:06:26.:06:29.

accommodation is concerned, we still have 200 people in 120 flats

:06:30.:06:34.

refusing to move out. They say the alternative is simply aren't good

:06:35.:06:38.

enough. They don't want to go into leisure centres like this. The

:06:39.:06:41.

council say they have to go, otherwise this remedial work cannot

:06:42.:06:45.

take place, although it is still not clear what legal powers the council

:06:46.:06:49.

have had to move these people. As far as the testing is concerned, 60

:06:50.:06:53.

buildings have now failed this cladding test across 25 local

:06:54.:06:57.

authorities. But you will remember, at the start of this crisis, the

:06:58.:07:02.

government was talking about 600 buildings that need testing. What is

:07:03.:07:06.

in terms of the testing with those? in terms of the testing with those?

:07:07.:07:09.

Also, what action will be taken in Also, what action will be taken in

terms of those buildings themselves? Will people have to move out? Will

:07:15.:07:17.

those buildings have to be closed? 11 days after Grenfell Tower, we

:07:18.:07:21.

still have lots of unanswered, questions.

:07:22.:07:23.

Duncan Kennedy in North London. The Brexit Secretary,

:07:24.:07:25.

David Davis, says he's "pretty sure" but not certain,

:07:26.:07:27.

the UK can secure a deal with Brussels, as it

:07:28.:07:30.

leaves the European Union. His remarks come after

:07:31.:07:33.

the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, said no deal would be "very,

:07:34.:07:35.

very bad" for the UK. Here's our Political Correspondent,

:08:00.:08:06.

I'm not 100% sure. You said right at the

:08:07.:08:11.

beginning of this, "We are guaranteed to get a deal,

:08:12.:08:12.

you can be sure we will get a deal." You can be sure

:08:13.:08:16.

there will be a deal. Whether it's the deal

but I'm not certain. With the clock for two years

brewing over who will set the rules and apply them for this new system?

Will it be British judges, the European Court of Justice or a

as dealing with Brexit negotiations, she has to meet the expectations at
