in the belief he could fly due to his autism and inability to assess risk.

and hopping on the scales we're with the animals at london zoo for their annual health check
10
Hello and good evening to you.
11
We start with the tragic story of a young boy described by his parents as their complete universe,
12
who fell to his death from the 15th floor window of an East London tower block two years ago.
13
Today, the coroner at the inquest into the five-year-old's death concluded
14
that he naively leapt from the window in the belief he could fly due to his autism and inability to assess risk.
15
With more, we can join our reporter, Thomas McGill, who's in Walthamstow.
16
Hi, Thomas.
17
Yes, hi, good evening, Ryds.
18
Well, a very tough final day into this inquest that, as you say, the coroner found that on the balance of probability,
19
five-year-old Alim leapt from his kitchen window naively and deliberately believing he could fly.
20
And that comes after he popped in there in the early hours of the morning to get some cookies.
21
Now, the evidence shows that, again, on the balance of probability, he got a chair, was able to get onto the windowsill
22
and open a window that should not have been able to be opened before leaping to his death.
23
Now, one of the factors into all of this was
24
that Aleem was autistic and was unable to assess risk or safety and,
25
in fact, had been moved to this 15-storey flat in order to be away from main roads and staircases.
26
Lots of evidence into this, into the condition and safety of those windows and assessing all that evidence,
27
the assistant coroner Ian Wade found that in fact one of the little safety devices
28
or restrictors that had been fitted to the kitchen window had been violated and removed by force.
29
He also said that he took no pleasure in coming to today's conclusion regarding the death of Elim.
30
And an extremely distressing day, as you say, Thomas, for the family.
31
Have they responded to the coroner's findings?
32
Well, there is not just today, but throughout this entire inquest,
33
the family, the mum and dad have been here listening to all the evidence and in fact were physically distraught today.
34
At one point, I was able to see the mum put her hands over her ears as the coroner recapped on some of that evidence.
35
She herself gave evidence and was highly critical of Newham Council, saying the death could have been avoided
36
if they had responded to her numerous complaints about the condition of the windows in this upstairs flat.
37
She also said she was horrified at the time
38
when they were allocated to a flat with an autistic child on the 15th floor.
39
But just to be very clear, the coroner today said that there was no compelling evidence
40
that Newham had acted inappropriately by placing this family in a flat on the 15th story
41
and that contractors had visited some months earlier and placed restrictors on all the windows, making them safe.
42
Unimaginable loss for any family.
43
Thomas with the latest there from Walthamstow.
44
Thank you.
45
You're watching BBC London.
46
Good to have you with us this Monday evening.
47
Plenty more to come, including this.
48
And if you picked up a penguin, how much would it weigh?
49
That's what keepers here at London Zoo are finding out, not just with these guys, but all of the animals.
50
Join me here later for the annual weigh-in.
51
As we've been hearing, the Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, has been in Kyiv on his first visit abroad and has promised to continue support for Ukraine.
52
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian community here in London has been marking the
53
35th anniversary of Independence Day against a backdrop of a continuing war.
54
Our reporter Aisha Baksh is in Holland Park, where a special service is being held this evening.
55
Over to you, Aisha.
56
Well, Riz, many Ukrainian Londoners and their supporters have gathered here in front of this statue in Holland Park, which symbolises Ukrainian independence and freedom.
57
There are prayers being said and also the Ukrainian National Anthem has been sung.
58
And many here are just also coming together to remember those lives lost and to ensure that their voices are heard.
59
Earlier, I spent some time at the Ukrainian Catholic Church, which has become, since the invasion of Ukraine,
60
a hub for spiritual and practical support for Ukrainians here in London.
61
Keeping entertained during the summer holidays at a Ukrainian summer school in central London.
62
This centre was set up shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and many of those who volunteer here came as refugees, including 15-year-old Ola.
63
How has it been for you these last four years to leave Ukraine and start a new life in London?
64
I mean mainly it's just the language barrier and the fact that I needed to learn English to live here.
65
But I think just the support and Ukrainian people that I met here, I think it's been quite well.
66
People don't hear it quite about Ukraine these days, but they need to know that we're still fighting and it's still going on.
67
Over in Westminster, the Houses of Parliament
68
and the Ministry of Defence were illuminated in the Ukrainian flag as a sign of solidarity
69
and continuing support of the Ukrainian people.
70
The Ukrainian community is extremely grateful for the support that they've received, both from the community in London but also from the state as a whole.
71
And I think that during these days especially, people are thinking of hope.
72
are we looking forward to, namely the end of the war and also to return to some kind of normality.
73
Father Vitaly, who himself is a refugee, is leading the Independence Day prayers.
74
His parents are still in Ukraine and his brother is still fighting on the front line.
75
In all Ukrainian families there are someone who is defending in the front line
76
or just preparing for defense or maybe died in this war.
77
We need to be together, we need to pray together for our freedom,
78
for our hope the war will finish.
79
What are your hopes for yourself, for your family and for Ukraine?
80
I mean, of course, hopefully everything was going to end and everything's going to be alright.
81
But hopefully every Ukrainian is going to find a meaning in their life and they won't give up.
82
As Ukrainian Londoners come together to mark Independence Day with resilience across the generation.
83
Solidarity, this event will go on for much of the evening and over at the Catholic Church.
84
That special prayer service will also continue and some of those priests and volunteers are also here in Lomar.
85
Aisha, many thanks.
86
Turning now to some of the day's other stories making the headlines.
87
A man's been arrested on suspicion of murder after a fatal fire in Hounslow.
88
Nine people were taken to hospital following the blaze on Barclay Avenue on Wednesday.
89
A 48-year-old woman later died and another remains in a life-threatening condition.
90
The 34-year-old suspect was arrested while travelling to France by train.
91
Network Rail is warning that journeys between London
92
and Southend may take a few minutes longer than usual due to this summer's weather.
93
It's imposing speed restrictions on the C2C route from tomorrow and on the Greater Anglia route to Southend from next week.
94
It says the clay that sits under the railway in Essex has dried out and shrunk, causing issues with the quality of the track.
95
Bus drivers in North London and Essex are to go ahead with strikes over working conditions in hot weather.
96
Some drivers say their cabs can exceed 40 degrees.
97
Members of Unite will walk out for four days from tomorrow, followed by more strikes in the coming weeks.
98
And you can see more stories
99
and the latest updates where you live on your local BBC News website and of course on the BBC News app.
100
Next, London is still experiencing drought conditions and despite some rain,
101
much of the landscape is still trying to recover after weeks of extreme heat.
102
And with hosepipe bands still in place, the ground still isn't getting the water it needs.
103
Bryony Williams has been finding out more about what's been happening beneath the capital soil.
104
London's parched parks have become unmissable as high temperatures and drought have turned green to yellow.
105
This is what we can see from above, but what's happening below?
106
Rob, describe to me what is London's geological make-up like?
107
Well, predominantly it's London clay, down to a fairly good depth,
108
100-and-something metres in places, underlain by other material with chalk at depth.
109
Where we're standing at the moment is on a granular soil called a terrace gravel, which overlies the London clay in places.
110
Not everywhere, but in places.
111
So now we know a lot of London ground is made up of clay, let's take a look at what happens to it.
112
Firstly, when it rains.
113
Clay absorbs the moisture and its volume expands.
114
But during high heat and lack of rain, of rain the moisture evaporates from the soil and it shrinks significantly.
115
This loss of water causes the clay to contract and crack and sometimes you might see the effects of it.
116
The movement of the ground if you're on clay soil affects the structures, it affects what's sitting on it.
117
So if the clay gets warm, as the weather we've had recently, so So if it loses volume, it's going to go down and contract.
118
So you get the cracking, but you get downward movement.
119
If a house is sitting on top of the clay, it will go down with it.
120
To repair the ground, it needs rain.
121
We have had some, but is it making a difference?
122
If it lands straight on the clay, assume you've got topsoil, the topsoil will absorb a certain amount of it
123
and then it will go down and sit on the clay layer effectively.
124
And then you'll get surface runoff, so the excess water will just run off, go nowhere.
125
What you really need is protracted rain.
126
It doesn't have to be intense rain.
127
Reasonable amount of rain over a long period of time, so it's got time to percolate down into the very fine voids in the London clay.
128
People will be worried about their gardens at the moment,
129
but is there anything people can do to help the kind of deep layers of soil recover?
130
Or is it just, like you said, a waiting game?
131
It's a waiting game, I think.
132
So it is a very slow process.
133
If you want to talk about figures, the permeability of London clay vertically is about 1 times 10 to the minus 10 metres per second. So that's...
134
Oh.
135
Imperceivably slow.
136
It was really, really slow.
137
So even when the grass turns green again, the clay may not have fully recovered.
138
As we've heard from the expert, it's a really, really slow process.
139
Bryony Williams, BBC London.
140
Some other local stories on BBC News.
141
Why some residents near Heathrow are unhappy with compensation offered over a new runway compared to those near Gatwick Airport.
142
In Surrey, the unsolved mystery of the body of a woman discovered in a railway tunnel 120 years ago
143
you can listen to it on sounds.
144
And the Essex racing driver who went from playing computer games in Covid to winning the real-life circuits of South America.
145
More on those and other stories on the BBC News app.
146
Right now though we're off to the zoo.
147
We heard earlier how the summer's extreme heat has had an impact on the land.
148
It's also been challenging on many creatures big and small.
149
Keepers at London Zoo are checking on the health of the animals as part of their annual weigh-in today
150
and Matt Graveling is there too.
151
Hi there Matt.
152
Welcome to Penguin Beats Riz, myself and 76 Humboldt penguins originally from Chile and Peru.
153
Lannister just down there having a little preen.
154
Hey we're live on the television Lannister.
155
She wants her best side.
156
Now I can tell you that they all weigh about four kilos each
157
and how do we know that because the zoo has weighed them all
158
but not just the penguins all of the animals here at
159
the zoo every day they are looking after the health care
160
but once a year we're lucky enough to get a call to come in
161
and find out a little bit more about their annual weigh-in all creatures great
162
and small from those
163
that weigh up to 700 kilos stand stand to those of less than a gram each counted
164
and weighed the results significant to the survival of its species
165
so weight is really important for us to be able to do our job properly just
166
because it again it helps us
167
understand an overall picture of health we can look for trends whether the animal weight has gone up
168
or down also it helps us dose any medication we need
169
to give an animal i think we've been pretty lucky we have managed to cope with the heat okay
170
but it will be nice to see if that is reflected in the weights we get.
171
London Zoo is celebrating its bicentenary and is now home to more than 10,000 animals made up from around 400 species.
172
As you can imagine, the mechanics behind the measuring are far from straightforward.
173
Ultimately, you need to get the animal on the scales.
174
Some are bribed with food, others like Genghis from Mongolia here are simply walked on.
175
What does he weigh, Mick?
176
It's 670 kilos.
177
They'll occasionally lose a little bit of weight in the winter, which is perfectly normal for Bactrian camels.
178
They come from Mongolia and China and it gets down to minus 40.
179
They're not that bothered by the heat.
180
I wouldn't say they like it.
181
They don't even sweat till it gets to 41 degrees.
182
So they're tougher than me with the heat, that's for sure.
183
All of the information gathered is shared with other zoos.
184
London Zoo, just one part of a global effort helping to reintroduce these Petula snails.
185
Although everybody looks at the big tigers and lions and gorillas and stuff, it's just as important for us to look at the health
186
and well-being of these animals as it is anything else in the zoo.
187
How many individual snails have you got in here?
188
Well, I know that we've got just under 2,000 snails in this room, but that's of nine species.
189
You're not weighing them all?
190
We're not, no. Unless you want to help us.
191
No, I think weighing a few of them is going to be enough.
192
This one doesn't want to be weighed.
193
No, he's off, isn't he?
194
See, that's the thing.
195
Snails, people think they don't move very fast, but take your eye off them and they're away.
196
So, whether weighing snails or Sumatran tigers, this growing database collected here in the capital is contributing to conservation around the world.
197
Matt Graveling, BBC London.
198
I think the most interesting thing for me, being here all day, is just seeing the technical side of it, how the keepers weigh animals with two legs, four legs, no legs, wings.
199
And the penguins, well, they're not the most cooperative of birds, but they do have their tricks, the keepers.
200
So I'm gonna bring in Jess, who is the lead keeper for birds here at London Zoo, who's holding a glitter ball here.
201
I need to know why, what's this about?
202
It's really just the penguins like it.
203
They're simple folk and they quite like shiny things.
204
It reminds them of the scales on the fish so it does tend to kind of get them a bit excited, get them engaged with something going on so it's a nice kind of starter.
205
Get the penguins over then we can work on the weighing.
206
And that's how you kind of lure them onto the scales?
207
They can be a way yeah so they're already trained to come to a whistle
208
which is great so we can use that but maybe
209
if they're not in the mood for the whistle they can come over with the disco ball
210
and then from there just lots of fish, lots of encouragement.
211
We heard from Dave Clark about the snails
212
and how the information is being shared around the world to other projects also in the conservation of that species.
213
Where does the data from the penguins go?
214
Same process really, so it goes on to ZIMS, the Zoological Information Management Systems.
215
We upload all of our data there, whether it be weights, lengths, just general notes and medical stuff as well is all super helpful
216
and in the future we can always utilise that with wild populations, looking at maybe chickweights and what is a chick with unlimited resources weigh when it's 18 days old.
217
And we can look at the wild penguins, see what's going on with them and maybe where they compare as well.
218
So it's all really helpful information.
219
Now we can't do a piece here this year without saying it's your bicentenary.
220
At 200 years of the zoo, which is fantastic.
221
But as part of that, you're also going to be getting a 20 million pound donation to build something really exciting, which I know is also looking at the healthcare, which is so important here.
222
Yeah, it's really exciting to have the donation our new wildlife
223
health center it's going to make massive improvements especially on the veterinary side
224
but also for all aspects of caring for animals so whether
225
that be doing new x-rays
226
or getting a ct machine how exciting uh nutrition uh post-mortems everything like
227
that as well as research is going to be super super
228
beneficial to have a brand new space especially made exactly for
229
it you have over 1 million visitors a year here to
230
this zoo it's a lot of people there's a lot of of animals, over 10,400 species, as we said in my report.
231
But behind the scenes, there's also a huge army of people.
232
So who is involved in the actual way?
233
Eelpie Island is well known for its artistic community, some of whom open their homes and studios twice a year for visitors.
234
This is a studio.
235
And this is a studio.
236
Apart from the love shack, they do most of their cartooning in their nearby studio.
237
Which one's bitter and which one's twisted?
238
She's bitter, of course she is.
239
She's the wife.
240
Wives are always bitter.
241
These are our Twickenham tea towels.
242
I've got to take them up to the shop because we sell them at the local shop as well.
243
Lovely tea towels, Sheba, but where are the eel pies?
244
It was time to head over to the mainland to see if I could get this ancient snack back on the menu.
245
Hello, are you Pete?
246
Hiya.
247
Nice to meet you, I'm Anna.
248
Skin, braw and cleanse two good-sized Thames eels.
249
Trim off the fins and cut them into pieces about three inches long.
250
Put these in a stew pan with two ounces of butter.
251
I think this could be a winner.
252
I do.
253
I think somebody ought to make an eel pie.
254
Oh, what a shame.
255
We should have done that for today.
256
I'm in the social committee here, so I could organise that.
257
Over the summer, we've been sharing some of the stories of people, Londoners living in alternative ways on BBC London.
258
If you want to see those films in full, just head over to the BBC London YouTube channel.
259
Now, it has felt a bit cooler today.
260
How is the rest of the week looking?
261
Here's Jen.
262
Thank you very much.
263
Good evening.
264
Plenty of dry and fine weather in the forecast as we head through tonight and into Tuesday, but signs are that things will turn much more unsettled through the middle part of the week.
265
Today though we've seen plenty of sunny spells, a bit of fair weather cloud coming and going through the afternoon
266
and this is the view that we'll have as we head into Tuesday as well.
267
So for tomorrow dry and sunny at first but over the next few days things will gradually turn much more unsettled.
268
High pressure in charge at the moment that is gradually moving its way northwards and eastwards.
269
These weather fronts just trying to make inroads and when they do reach us they are going to bring some showers.
270
Now for the rest of this evening and overnight.
271
It's fairly quiet out there.
272
We have clear spells, just a gentle to moderate east
273
or northeasterly breeze and those overnight temperatures 13 to 15 degrees Celsius for most.
274
Now tomorrow morning it will get off to a dry and bright start.
275
Plenty of sunshine actually.
276
Once again like today we'll see a bit of
277
that fair weather cloud bubbling up through the afternoon
278
and it's going to be feeling a little bit warmer tomorrow than today 24
279
or 25 degrees some places up to 26 degrees celsius now on tuesday night we'll start off dry and clear
280
but as the night goes on we'll start to see some of those showers moving up from the south
281
and some of those showers could be heavy
282
and thundery especially where you see those green colors behind me
283
that indicates some real hefty downpours 14 to 16 degrees the overnight lower
284
and it is going to be feeling quite muggy as we move into wednesday as well much more humid feeling day
285
There are showers breaking out as we head into the afternoon as well.
286
Not everywhere we'll see them, but if you do, some of them could be heavy and thundery.
287
Those temperatures, again, up to 26 degrees Celsius.
288
Here's the outlook then for the rest of the week.
289
And as you can see, it's a fairly unsettled picture.
290
We do have more showers or longer spells of rain in the forecast.
291
The temperature coming down gradually as we head through the week.
292
So by the weekend, we're looking at highs of around 23 degrees. And that's it.
293
More stories on our website, including the paws on patrol at one of our busiest stations.
294
Yes, dog patrols have joined security teams at Waterloo.
295
From me and everyone on the team, thanks for watching and enjoy your evening.
296
Bye-bye.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
