That's all from the BBC News at Six so it's goodbye from me - | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Flammable cladding is being removed from this estate in Camden. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
We've learnt there'll be 24 hour fire safety | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
How long is it going to take, we don't know, but the council | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
is working as fast it can, you can't just snap your | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
We're out with another London authority now carrying out | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
All board the new Crossrail trains - as passengers get a first chance | :00:25. | :00:38. | |
Are you a big train fan? Yes. | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
It's just nice to see the kind of trains will be able to | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
And shimmering in the summer sun - this year's Serpentine pavillion | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
brings a touch of Africa to the capital. | :00:58. | :01:11. | |
Good evening, welcome to BBC London News with me, Riz Lateef. | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
First tonight: 24 hour patrols will be set up at the Camden housing | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
development which is now known to have used flammable cladding | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
Council Officials in the borough have confirmed that they are to | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
remove cladding from five blocks on the Chalcots Estate. | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
Until that's done fire wardens will work around | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
the clock to ensure that residents are safe. | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
Katharine Carpenter has spent the day there and joins us now. | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
Yes, I am outside Swiss Cottage library. It has just opened its | :01:40. | :01:54. | |
doors between camping counsel and fire safety experts and local | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
residents, a hasty arrangement after it was confirmed today that the very | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
similar cladding used to grant full tower was used here on the estate, | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
and unsurprisingly it has caused anxiety here, and a certain amount | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
of anger, too, many frustrated that what they suspected was the case has | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
only been just confirmed now, a number of worried faces coming and | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
going. It has been busy here today because we have had inspectors on | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
site, some checking white goods, we know there is 24-hour security | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
patrols bringing in, the area has become a hive of activity and a | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
point of focus both by the media and the country at large. | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
So far just a few panels on the Chalcot estate in Camden have | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
The results have prompted the council to get rid of them all. | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
This estate was refurbished a decade ago. | :02:51. | :02:51. | |
It's now emerged that the cladding contains similar chemicals to those | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
A lot of residents are a bit worried about it. Sprinklers and fire alarms | :02:55. | :03:03. | |
and opening hours, we only have one staircase to go down. No fire | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
alarms, no sprinklers. People are striving for fire extinguishers as | :03:11. | :03:11. | |
well. Locals were sent a letter | :03:12. | :03:12. | |
this morning explaining One thing we were always asking | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
about as fire safety. Fire safety on fire safety, and fire safety. We | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
asked for fire safety, fire alarms, sprinklers, all those things do | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
actually have really active fire safety systems. We ended up with | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
nothing, we ended up with a building that was clad that was supposed to | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
be more safe than what we had before and we were sold that it was more | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
safe. There are key differences with the installation. | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
The council leader has been before the cameras today, | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
Her teams now checkingh corridors and stairwells | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
And checking electrical goods in all the blocks. | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
She says the council is also seeking legal advice... | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
Saying the cladding was not what it ordered ... | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
Why would you expect does not have picked up if it was not based | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
litigation you asked for? I don't think we would have any reason to | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
need to take these panels down to an independent test centre and see if | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
they'd burn. We thought we were working with reputable companies and | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
thought that what we had was specified, and we feel let down it | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
not the case. Bat it is not the case. We need to examine every part | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
of this. We need to ask many question to the Council, the | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
situation where you are spelling lots of money on re-cladding the | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
building. And we need to investigate every part of this process and white | :04:33. | :04:33. | |
out what happened. The mayor today urged other councils | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
to step up their checks on tower We are speaking to other councils | :04:36. | :04:45. | |
across London and and the government has encouraged the acceleration of | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
these jacks, the London Fire Brigade is doing these checks, we have to | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
make sure every single tower block is safe. If it is the place that | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
cladding has been use we make them safe. | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
More money has been promised by government to remove any | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
Camden is holding meetings with its local residents to reassure | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
Well, as I said that meeting is about to get under way, to resident | :05:05. | :05:20. | |
asking questions are Nigel Rumble. What are you hoping to get out of | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
the meeting tonight? We are all hoping to get, and what I am hoping | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
to find out in the meeting is exactly how Camden promises to | :05:32. | :05:45. | |
deliver. Chatting your. As you can see there's a lot of anger here at | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
the moment and that is to be expected. What I hope to get out of | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
the meeting and I'm sure everybody else does is see how Camden can | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
deliver the solutions they are proposing to replace all be cladding | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
in a timely fashion, weeks not months or years, and is to get fire | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
safety improved straightaway. And assurances that this sort of thing | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
can never happen again on other, future types of building | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
constructions. Romcom if I can bring you in, you have a young son living | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
with you in your property. How concerned are you for him at the | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
moment until this is altered out? I am busy concern from some blackboard | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
of you but the important thing is it's on the ground floor, not the | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
top floor where specially I couldn't get out. So yes, I am still worried | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
but when you have no fire alarm you don't know what's happening, you're | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
only could be woken up if there is a commotion and fire, and that is one | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
of the things that you think I am not going to wake up, you know what | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
I mean? Are you reassured by the measures the Council are bringing in | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
today? I think they are doing what they can, trying to do what they can | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
but to me rushing things and not giving us the information, the most | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
important thing is you have two inform the people within the block | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
what your measures are, none of that has happened as we speak. Just | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
finally, I know you are a leaseholder and you are concerned | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
about having paid at money for the refurb which now might have to take | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
down? The figure was 42,000 for what I paid, plus service charges each | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
year for different parts of the building that we have to maintain. | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
I'm concerned they have no legal standing to charge me again because | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
they have charge me already. That would be liable for their own | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
measures to put this right themselves because they haven't | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
signed off on the documentation on their cladding. Obviously many of | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
those things are still to be investigated and one of the | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
questions probably to be raised in the meeting tonight. Back to you. | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
But what about reassuring the thousands of tenants living | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
Our political editor Tim Donovan joined one council housing | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
Help make sure you're right. On a mission of reassurance. We are also | :08:01. | :08:18. | |
telling people how to be fire safety in your own homes, have you got a | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
smoke alarm? You have two? Why is neither one thing above all on | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
people but minds. When we walk around, as they are talking about | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
cladding. Is this new cladding is so inert you could put it on a bonfire | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
and it wouldn't burn. But it the plastic in between it. The good news | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
in Tower Hamlets is we have been putting cladding on the rocks in the | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
last years without that sort of material. And that includes the | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
block itself, in the middle of having cladding put on it, the | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
council is relieved the right material has been used. It is | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
reassuring. That is hardly the only issue troubling tenants. Are lot of | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
people are talking about the staying put policy. Should you stay where | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
you are? After what has happened in that building. As long as everybody | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
tells me it stay put, I'm going out! And let's just examine that. Nobody | :09:20. | :09:29. | |
got save the last time. I don't detect any of my residents to | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
blindly follow advice like that. What is the right thing to do, then? | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
Here are protocols are clearly needed. I am still worried, looking | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
after my children can I do know how I would go down ten stairs if God | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
forbid what happened in that building. Over the last year the | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
council had been reviewing and upgrading its fire assessment across | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
the borough. We need to make sure really that those are put back, | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
then. Aid never found to have removed the fire door from their | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
kitchen. The kitchen itself needs to hold the fire back at base the rest | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
of the property is a safe haven. Marcella moved here in November and | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
now has deepened the door back. Did you have any idea it was important | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
to have a door round your kitchen? No, no, when we had an inspection, | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
they kind of said yes, you have removed that will stop buying. 'S | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
feelings are high on the 16th floor. You have to be responsible now. You | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
have to keep an eye on electricity, when you leave the house, you have | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
to be so mindful but it is another 300 families who needs to be | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
mindful. We are in the same building. Refurbishment here is | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
nearly complete. If the council fully content? Following Grenfell we | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
are looking again, and honestly that has debuted as public enquiry but we | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
are being asked by a lot of residents about sprinkler systems in | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
tall buildings. What are you saying to them, then? We haven't got them | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
but we have them in bits of the building, so the bin store which is | :11:03. | :11:16. | |
vulnerable place, that has a springer system. Are you thinking | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
about billing and elsewhere? I think it is a sound idea. So much could | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
come under review now that's tenants in high-rise blocks here as across | :11:23. | :11:24. | |
the capital are waiting eagerly for answers. | :11:25. | :11:24. | |
Joining me now is Arnold Tarling, who's a fire safety expert. | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
People right across London, rightly concerned they want assurances that | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
the homes are safe. Does what the government's | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
announcement today, No, I don't. Basically all they are | :11:37. | :11:46. | |
looking at is the housing side. But it is not just a product that is | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
placed in houses. What about your school, your hospital, leisure | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
centre, the place where you work? That is clad will stop do you know | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
if that is the same material? How do you know? The problems with fire | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
safety are much deeper than that. This is the tip of the iceberg. Why | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
is it allowed this kind of cladding material, why was it allowed to be | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
used here when it is banned in some other countries? For that you have | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
to ask the advisers to government, the people who advise the ministers. | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
You have ministers there, they don't know anything about building the mad | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
they don't know anything about building regulations. They rely upon | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
their advisers. They are the people to ask. Would you have hoped to have | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
banned this? I would have thought they would have banned it long ago. | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
In fact it was banned in London under the old 1935 building act, | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
these materials would never have been allowed, we learned from the | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
great Fire of London, which stopped the incendiaries in the Second World | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
War turning the whole of the London into a huge fireball. Let us pick up | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
on the concerns of the residents that we had in both of those reports | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
at the top of our programme. Should residents in those buildings be | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
demanding to be moved out until their safety can be guaranteed, do | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
you think? Of course they should. They should be decanting these | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
properties straight straightaway, getting large families with children | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
out of the property, getting the people who are disabled out of the | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
properties, and if you look at the rate at which that fire spread, and | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
you think that fire wardens will get everybody out and wake them up? The | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
fire wardens may well end up dying in a property that goes up in the | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
same way. We actually have pictures where you were testing the material. | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
I think you were with one of our reporters last week and you were | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
testing the material so you would not feel comfortable living in a | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
building that had this kind of cladding? Well, the material I was | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
testing was slightly different but it is commonly used in insulation | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
and it is put in around every single replacement windows scheme I know, | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
it is called polyurethanes. What we have in this building is | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
polyethylene, a thermoplastic moulting at a. Both are bad, both | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
give off toxic fumes, and both spread fire rapidly, and these have | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
been built into buildings and these products would never have been | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
allowed to have the London building act not been removed. Are you | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
suggesting what is needed is a complete overhaul of current | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
building regulations, because what we have been hearing over the past | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
week is that how buildings are maintained, refurbished, there is a | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
lot of third-party contractors involved, it is subcontracted... | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
Where does that sort of responsibility and those checks come | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
in and like? The response abilities and checks have been done away with, | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
architects used to be on site, clerk of works on site, people who knew | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
what they were doing. We used to have the building inspector who was | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
got rid of Wendy GLC went. The checks and balances that were built | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
up by the Victorians, and the people who followed them have all been | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
stripped away. They have all gone, and we need to basics. Things that | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
we knew in the past and now ignore. OK, Arnold, so much to talk about | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
but for now we will leave it there. Thank you indeed for your time. | :15:16. | :15:17. | |
Well, we approached the government for an intrview on this important | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
issue for Londoners living in towerblocks... | :15:23. | :15:23. | |
But neither the Secretary of State for Communities | :15:24. | :15:25. | |
and Local Government Sajid Javid, or the Housing Minister Alok Sharma | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
You're watching BBC London News, still to come tonight: | :15:29. | :15:41. | |
Brixton honours the African and Caribbean troops who fought during | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
the first and second world Wars. And a slice of Africa arrives in Hyde | :15:49. | :15:56. | |
Park, is summer's Serpentine Pavilion. | :15:57. | :15:58. | |
A Surrey NHS Trust has been fined for safety failings | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
in relation to the death of a mentally ill patient. | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
20-year-old Adam Withers died after falling from a chimney | :16:04. | :16:05. | |
in the grounds of Epsom hospital in 2014. | :16:06. | :16:07. | |
Michael Buchanan has the details and joins us | :16:08. | :16:09. | |
Yes, indeed. Adam Withers had no previous history of mental health | :16:10. | :16:28. | |
problems but in the spring of 2014 he became seriously ill and was | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
taken to the Langley unit run by the Surrey and Borders partnership | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
mental health trust in the grounds of absent General Hospital. One | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
evening in May of 2014 Adam went into courtyard, climbed up onto the | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
roof of a low-level building nearby which then gave him access to a | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
maintenance ladder that had been propped against a 130 foot | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
industrial chimney on the grounds of the hospital. He then climb to the | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
top of the chimney and in a distressed state of mind felled to | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
his death. Some of the horror was actually watched by his mother and | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
his twin sister who were visiting and the hospital at the time. The | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
Health and Safety Executive prosecuted the Surrey and Borders | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
partnership over safety failings because the trust had been warned | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
going back as far as 2012 that this route that Adam had taken to get to | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
the chimney was well-known, getting onto the roof of this building had | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
been repeatedly warned that this was a way that patients could abscond. | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
The trust pleaded guilty, today, and win the past hour I been fined | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
?300,000. They haven't responded to that fine but the Langley unit that | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
Adam was at has since been closed. They've been hailed | :17:45. | :17:52. | |
as the future of rail travel - and today, passengers got a first | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
glimpse of the new trains on Crossrail - or the | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
Elizabeth Line as it The first of the 66-train | :18:01. | :18:02. | |
fleet went into service between Liverpool Street | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
and Shenfield - which is just one area hoping | :18:06. | :18:06. | |
to benefit from faster more reliable The first Elizabeth | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
line train draws in, After a few final checks, | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
and fan photos, it's ready | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
to go into service. Capable of carrying | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
1,500 passengers, and with better efficiency, | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
journeys will be quicker, too. Going to make your life | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
easier, hopefully? Absolutely. | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
I hope so. I've been travelling | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
on these trains for years and they're always just really | :18:39. | :18:39. | |
run down and old and... Well, air conditioning makes | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
a difference, today. Sheila's son will be driving one | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
of the 66 new trains in the fleet. | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
I'm happy for him. Are you proud of him? | :18:55. | :18:56. | |
Yes, of course I am. A new train has brought the spotters | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
out two, of all ages. Yes, I have been for | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
quite a while, now. So, I live in Romford, | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
so right in the heart of the line, really, and | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
over the last couple trains being tested and all | :19:12. | :19:12. | |
the improvement works kind Been disrupted for so long | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
in London is just nice to see what kind of trains we'll be able | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
to get into once it opens. And this is what they | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
are trying to improve, just one commuter service | :19:24. | :19:25. | |
elsewhere in London today. Well, as you're experiencing, | :19:26. | :19:27. | |
you've got your jacket on, so have I, it's a warm day | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
in London, another warm day. This is air cooled, | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
there is proper passenger Visual displays as well as public | :19:38. | :19:39. | |
address announcements. Great, clean seats and | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
configurations, through carriages that give that sense | :19:44. | :19:44. | |
of space as well so this is going to Of course, this is also good | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
news for Shenfield, it The journey time will be quicker | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
so it should be good for business. I do think it will be | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
good, bringing more people in, hopefully | :19:57. | :19:58. | |
it will be all right. Put you on the map? | :19:59. | :20:00. | |
Yes, it will do. There's too much congestion, | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
for a little village, if This area sort of normally | :20:05. | :20:06. | |
would have been sort of stockbrokers which were going into the city, | :20:07. | :20:15. | |
but the Crossrail is obviously opening up over to the west London | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
side of things so we've had more buyers | :20:19. | :20:20. | |
from sort of Islington, following. The full route | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
through central London should be operating | :20:24. | :20:24. | |
from December next year. Next: honouring of the some | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
two million black soldiers who fought for Britain in the First | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
and Second World Wars. The UK's first memorial to African | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
and Caribbean heroes of the conflicts has been | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
unveiled in Brixton. Hundreds of people turned up in | :20:39. | :20:51. | |
Windrush Square to honour the African and Caribbean men and women | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
who served in the two world wars and see the memorial unveiled. APPLAUSE | :20:55. | :21:02. | |
92-year-old Alan Wilmot was in the royal Navy during World War II and | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
was glad to have made it to the ceremony will stop today is a | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
special day in my life because I didn't dream that I would be around | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
to see things like this happening. You know, because years ago nothing | :21:15. | :21:23. | |
was done to more or less make it known the contribution that was made | :21:24. | :21:31. | |
by the African west Indian and Indian servicemen. Many came to | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
honour and remember their loved ones and were just believe they were | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
being recognised at last. One of the reasons it has taken 100 years to | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
remember this is because in 1919 when there was a victory margin | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
London, African and Caribbean 's went invited and so they were | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
written out of the history of the First World War. A great day for | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
black people all over England. To see this happening because a lot of | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
us did not know that black people fought in the war, especially from | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
way back, the First World War. Victor Ponta like uncle served in | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
the Royal air Force in the Second World War and the 82-year-old made a | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
special journey to be in Brixton today. I have flown from Jamaica to | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
be here today. To get this opportunity to let people know that | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
the parts of the Jamaicans have played in the Second World War. The | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
ceremony included an African inspired parade with Carnival | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
puppets and stilt-walkers. Before dignitaries laid wreaths for the | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
fallen. This is overdue, recognition of a huge part that African and | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
Caribbean soldiers and labourers played in both world wars, we should | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
have done this years ago. It is hoped the memorial will ensure the | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
young African and Caribbean people never forget the contributions that | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
forefathers had in the two world wars. | :22:52. | :22:59. | |
It's inspired by the artist's African heritage and based on a tree | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
used as a meeting place in his native village. | :23:03. | :23:04. | |
Francis K r has brought a piece of Burkina Faso to London for this | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
It opens on Friday and Emilia Papodopoulos has | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
A dazzling African canopy in the heart of central London. This year's | :23:11. | :23:28. | |
Serpentine Pavilion motors blends art and space. Francis K r was | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
inspired by trees in his native Burkina Faso, arriving from the | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
shade, and the blue paint is symbolic. The blue paint was on the | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
best clothes that you have and in Mike colchicum NVQ blue is that | :23:41. | :23:49. | |
colour. Yes, I wanted to show myself with a best horror and this is this. | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
The past two years have seen an eclectic mix of the gallery's front | :23:56. | :24:05. | |
transformed. It was earned their woven bats overwhelming filming of | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
honour. I am nervous, it is London, it is Kensington Park committed the | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
Serpentine. It is unbelievable but I succeeded, I was able to do it! Yes! | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
There are many different elements to destructor, the main is the central | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
courtyard, almost like it was designed for the British summer in | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
mind because when it rains, which it can do quite often, the rain will | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
funnel through this central part here, to create a waterfall. I want | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
the visitor to arrive and then feel the elements. Be protected by them, | :24:38. | :24:44. | |
but be exposed to them, to have a very intense feeling. It is for | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
everyone, it is somehow, it is very open, people can find out the way | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
they use it, it isn't prescriptive soap children will find a different | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
use from adults. It opens from tomorrow until October and no matter | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
what great British weather has in store, its design means it is always | :25:04. | :25:04. | |
ready to welcome visitors. Spectacular! It has cooled down a | :25:05. | :25:13. | |
little bit, relatively, I should say. Let's check on the weather with | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
Ben Rich. What a difference a Day makes. Yesterday we were in extreme | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
heat with some very high temperatures, in | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
fact the hottest June date since 1976. Today in Hounslow, dawn was | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
like this with speckled clouds, the first sign of what was to come | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
coming thickening clouds, and then for some of us not all, | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
thunderstorms will stop this line of storms worked from west to east, | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
quite a lot of lightning but some places avoiding it and staying | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
completely dry. Once the line of storm had passed through, things | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
cleared up again, more cloud, some sunshine, but the big difference | :25:50. | :25:51. | |
what the temperature dropped. Yesterday at Heathrow, 35, down to | :25:52. | :26:00. | |
24 today. That story was repeated across the area, one degree warmer | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
air however was the Essex coast, the shelter provided with the coast. | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
Tonight, cooler, comfortable for sleeping, 14 or 15 degrees, a mild | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
or warm night but it will feel quite different to the ones we have | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
recently had. Tamara actually not a bad day, again a fair amount of | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
cloud but I am expecting that to break up at times to give some | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
spells, of sunshine, once again that cooler feel, 22-24 . A bit of a | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
breeze as well which I should imagine will be refreshing. Friday, | :26:35. | :26:43. | |
a quiet night, but they change into Saturday morning, a weather front is | :26:44. | :26:46. | |
approaching from the north-west, and rather than clearing cleanly through | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
this is actually going to hang around for a while on Saturday | :26:51. | :26:52. | |
morning so Saturday could well start off cloudy with splashes of rain at | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
time, the rain probably liked and patchy but clearing up and | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
brightening up into the afternoon on Saturday, temperatures still | :27:03. | :27:04. | |
sticking that cooler fresher feel, as we go on into Sunday. Lots of dry | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
weather around, temperatures again back down into the 20s. | :27:09. | :27:11. | |
Still warm! Then, thank you very much. | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
The Prime Minister has said around 600 high rises across England | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
are using similar cladding to Grenfell Tower. | :27:20. | :27:21. | |
Urgent tests have so far confirmed that seven tower blocks are covered | :27:22. | :27:24. | |
in combustible cladding in four local authorities. | :27:25. | :27:27. | |
Theresa May has travelled to Brussels for a European summit | :27:28. | :27:30. | |
to discuss Brexit and ways to protect the rights of EU | :27:31. | :27:32. | |
citizens living away from their home countries. | :27:33. | :27:40. | |
Asad will be back later though during the ten o'clock news. | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
From all the team here, thanks for watching and do | :27:45. | :27:46. | |
Across the country, 11 million people | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
But how would their landlords manage living as tenants? | :27:52. | :28:00. | |
It's helped me appreciate that decisions we make | :28:01. | :28:03. | |
The Week The Landlords Moved In starts: | :28:04. | :28:24. | |
Well, I'm not nice. And I see you, mate. | :28:25. | :28:30. | |
