Thanks Jane.

Tonight on BBC London.
3
We speak to the residents still paying mortgages for flats which burned down in a building fire two years ago, leaving 80 people homeless.
4
We don't know when we'll get any money.
5
I don't know when I'll be able to afford a house.
6
If I'll be able to afford a house, it's just a constant, it's a constant stress.
7
Also on the programme.
8
Extra funding for security at the 60th Notting Hill Carnival.
9
More cameras and stewards to keep the crowd safe.
10
We'll have the details.
11
Plus.
12
Buckingham Palace guards play 9 to 5 in honour of Dolly Parton, who's died aged 80.
13
We look at her London legacy and.
14
And your specialist subject.
15
Transport for London, Maquette.
16
The mastermind moment that's gone viral.
17
We meet the contestant behind a very specialist subject.
18
Good evening and welcome.
19
I'm Alice Bandukravi.
20
Two years on from a building fire in East London which left more than 80 people homeless, residents say they remain in limbo and out of pocket.
21
Some people who lived at the Spectrum building in Dagenham are still paying mortgages for homes that no longer exist.
22
The building was demolished last year after Surveyor reports deemed it unsafe.
23
Here's our work and money correspondent Megan Owen.
24
Two years ago today, flames engulfed the Spectrum building.
25
a residential block in East London.
26
The cause of the fire was never established, but the flames spread rapidly through scaffolding surrounding the building, in place as part of ongoing work to remove cladding.
27
Four months later, the building was demolished.
28
Today, there is little left but wasteland, but the blaze remains etched in the minds of leaseholders James and Sarah.
29
It felt really severe.
30
because I'm watching my home burn down on the news.
31
Woke up, saw embers floating outside the front of our flat.
32
My partner opened the front door, the corridor was full of smoke, at which point we ran out of the building just wearing what we had on.
33
I had no shoes on, no socks.
34
The company that owned the building has since gone into administration, leaving administrators to dish out money for loss and damages.
35
but residents say the process has been painfully slow.
36
It's just to be nice for someone to take responsibility, some accountability and actually say, right, well, we're going to manage it.
37
We're going to manage this process for you.
38
We don't know when we'll get any money.
39
I don't know when I'll be able to afford a house.
40
If I'll be able to afford a house, it's just a constant, it's a constant stress dealing with so many different agencies.
41
Insurance is covering their emergency accommodation for three years.
42
But some worry that if compensation hasn't been paid by then, they'll have to pay rent and mortgage on homes that no longer exist.
43
Well, two years on from the fire here in Dagenham, there have been a lot of parties involved along the way.
44
The leaseholders, the freeholder who's gone into administration, the government, the Greater London Authority,
45
the administrators, and a lot of back and forth over who should get the money.
46
But so far, there's been no payout.
47
It's been a real challenge getting monies out of the insurers and the administrators.
48
We're supporting the leaseholders to make sure they get the money back and they're the front of the queue.
49
When the leaseholders get compensation first, once they've got the compensation, they will then look at how we can try and reclaim some of this money back.
50
Cladding work on the building at the time, which was never completed, had been funded by a government grant, meaning it could be in line to receive some of the payout.
51
It's urging the building's administrators to resolve the insurance settlements quickly and, says more broadly, they continue to work to speed up cladding removal.
52
The administrators say they're now applying to the court to approve the first round of payments to leaseholders and creditors,
53
and getting money out to residents as quickly as the process allows is their priority.
54
Well, Megan is here.
55
Megan, what do you think this tells us about wider building safety?
56
Well, just a reminder that whilst we don't know what the cause of the fire was, it does speak to the wider picture.
57
And that is because the then Secretary of State for Housing, Angela Rayner, visited the site,
58
spoke to press at the time and said that this showed that cladding remediation works needed to be sped up.
59
So let's just take a listen to that.
60
I will be making sure that I push the health
61
and safety executive and the building safety regulators
62
and those responsible who own the buildings to make sure that remediation work is carried out as quickly as possible.
63
It's too slow.
64
People, these are not assets.
65
These are people's homes and people need to feel safe in their own homes.
66
So that was Angela Rayner speaking two years ago.
67
Where are we today?
68
Well, new figures released actually today show that 4,697 residential buildings over 11 metres are currently being monitored with unsafe cladding.
69
but around 60% of those have not yet been remediated.
70
Now, the government says it continues to work to speed up cladding removal and bring the building safety crisis to an end,
71
but these figures do show that there's still quite a long way to go, Alice.
72
Definitely.
73
Thank you very much for that, Megan Owen, our work and money correspondent.
74
Lots more to come, including...
75
Everything's going to be OK.
76
Everything's going to be OK?
77
This summer's latest Hollywood blockbuster hits our screens aboard a vintage train in Essex.
78
Notting Hill Carnival will mark its 60th
79
anniversary this bank holiday weekend with the streets of West London set to come alive with music, costumes and celebration.
80
This year, organisers have been given extra funding to provide increased security measures to keep the millions in the crowds safe.
81
Our political editor Carl Mercer has more.
82
James, Aidan and Andrew are part of the team putting the final touches to this year's carnival safety plans.
83
For the last couple of weeks they've been out across the route, fitting temporary CCTV cameras to buildings and lampposts.
84
They'll be close to 90 this year, up from 20 a year ago.
85
It's part of a new safety package made possible by a £4.5 million grant from City Hall, after last year's carnival was hit by fears of overcrowding and crushes.
86
It was only saved by a last minute handout from the mayor.
87
This year is more planned.
88
It's always important to get it right, but I think this year is more significant.
89
We've been entrusted, as you know, with additional funding.
90
We've been working really hard to make sure that
91
that funding is spent wisely and for the purpose that it was given for.
92
And as you can see we've been really investing a lot of it in technology as well as personnel
93
so we're really looking forward to this year.
94
The extra money will also see a record number of stewards, up from 1750 to around 3,500 and increased use of these.
95
Last year there were 14 of these big signs on the route, this year there will be 40, a simple but effective way to direct crowds.
96
I always use the example, if you're stuck on a tube in the middle of a tunnel and you're not getting anything, it might only be five minutes,
97
but it's quite agitating, you don't know what's happening, you don't know when you're going to go on, but if there's messaging and you're being told,
98
look we're held here, it's going to be five minutes and then you're going to be on your way, it just calms people down.
99
This West London warehouse is where most of the new safety kit is being shipped out from.
100
If it's not going onto lamp posts on the route, it will be going to a new control centre for Carnival.
101
This is where organisers and the Blue Light Services coordinate the event, able to monitor every part of the route and spot any potential problems.
102
This year's will be much bigger than last.
103
We did have a lot of support from the Metropolitan Police
104
but they're now rightly focusing on their core responsibility so we're now stepping into the space.
105
I think it's important that the public also know that the Met are not walking away.
106
This is a transitional period that we're going to go through.
107
It's a massive step change for Carnival and I think it will be foolish just to go off a cliff edge and, OK, this organisation is doing it now, now it goes to that.
108
We have taken full control but we are fully supported by the NPS as well.
109
The Met Police trialled facial recognition at two sites at last year's Carnival, using it to make 60 arrests.
110
It's expected they'll be using it in more areas this year.
111
Carl Mercer, BBC London.
112
And you can head online for more information on what you
113
need to know ahead of this weekend Notting Hill Carnival
114
and BBC Radio London will have special programming on Bank Holiday Monday throughout the day.
115
A round-up of some of the day's other news stories now.
116
A 15-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with the death of another teenage boy.
117
A 17-year-old victim was stabbed and died in a building housing Brent Council's headquarters and library yesterday afternoon.
118
A Metropolitan Police officer who said he hated homeless people and couldn't wait to taser someone has been sacked from the force.
119
PC Lloyd Hunter was filmed during an undercover BBC Panorama investigation focused on Charing Cross Police Station.
120
And rail services between Southend Victoria and London Liverpool Street have resumed after a train derailed in Wickford earlier this month.
121
All services had been suspended since the 14th of August when the London-bound train carrying 45 passengers partially came off the tracks.
122
Lowering waiting times for patients at London's A&Es is an ongoing challenge.
123
Extreme summer temperatures have significantly increased demand for urgent care.
124
It means hospitals are having to find new and creative ways to help patients access the care they need.
125
Tolua Deoye has been to Northwick Park Hospital in northwest London where they've introduced a new system.
126
Most of us have been there before.
127
You turn up at A&E expecting to queue to register, queue to be triaged, then queue to be seen.
128
Well, here at Northwick Park Hospital, they've come up with a way to reduce all that queuing with a digital doorway.
129
So it's quite simple.
130
You turn up, you scan the QR code, then you get a series of questions, including your personal details and questions about your condition.
131
Staff can then identify potentially critical cases within minutes.
132
If I say I've got an illness, we then break it down into which body area, which system it is that's affected.
133
We ask a few basic questions about the problems and then also a few red flag indicators.
134
We now have you on our electronic system.
135
We know that you are here and also we know why you're here.
136
So the next step is the triage nurse will call you in.
137
They now have their forms pre-populated with all of this information.
138
Bosses say this system offers increased privacy because you're not having to tell reception about your issues out in the open.
139
It reduces errors and reduces the administration, cutting the queuing time.
140
I think improving that first initial contact time for patients is crucial.
141
They were waiting for sometimes 30, 40 minutes just to book in and then another way to see the triage nurse.
142
By using the digital check-in, what we managed to do is eliminate that.
143
Patients are booking in in a matter of two to three minutes, doing a quick self-triage, which means that their overall time spent in the emergency department is significantly less.
144
Now you get an estimation of your waiting time and patients have that visibility and clarity from the moment they arrive.
145
Reception staff remain available for anyone unable to use the system for any reason.
146
It's due to launch at Ealing Hospital in October.
147
After that it will be at Chelsea and Westminster, St Mary's, West Middlesex and Hillingdon. So
148
if this all goes well you might see the system at
149
the hospital near you soon now for a look at the
150
bbc news app at gatwick airport travelers are returning to what's

158
Now remembering the country music icon Dolly Parton, London fans and musicians have been paying tribute to the singer,
159
songwriter and actress who died in Nashville at the age of 80.
160
in a career lasting over seven decades.
161
Her legacy lives on in the capital, as Chris Sleg reports.
162
Miss Dolly Parton.
163
1975, Dolly Parton plays London for the first time.
164
Well, a good way down the railroad track, there was this little run-down shag.
165
The talents won her admirers spanning the globe and the decades.
166
Working not to fly, what a way to make a living.
167
The band Ward Thomas were among those inspired by her
168
and went on to become the first UK country act to reach number one in the main album chart.
169
She was a true unifier,
170
she was a true songwriter and she was just a positive essence to the world and we absolutely love her.
171
We're now about to go on tour for our 10 year anniversary of that number one album.
172
And yeah, even planning the tour, we constantly say to each other, what would Dolly do?
173
Thank you, London.
174
In 2019, she came to London to launch her 9 to 5 musical in the West End.
175
Despite her immense fame, she always remained grounded.
176
She was never one of those people that said, how are you?
177
How are you?
178
She always said, I love your shirt.
179
That color looks great on you.
180
I love your hair.
181
She always found something special about you to make you feel special.
182
And it instantly put you at ease.
183
She firmly believed every child should get the chance to learn to read and created her imagination library, gifting young children a book every month.
184
Camden Council was among those to benefit.
185
I thought it was an incredible way of her to use her fame.
186
I think having the influence she has and focusing on literacy is incredible.
187
and knowing that we've given out nearly 15,000 books since February alone is amazing.
188
This morning, even the Buckingham Palace guards played nine to five in honour of Dolly Parton.
189
Has loved here in London as she was around the world.
190
Chris Sleg, BBC London.
191
Now, festival season is in full swing, but there's one thing festival goers would rather do without, the dust.
192
After one of London's driest summers on record, there are concerns about conditions in the capital's parks, with the parched ground underfoot creating some extremely dry conditions.
193
Organisers of all points east at Victoria Park introduced additional ground protection and dust mitigation measures following problems there last year,
194
but some visitors this year have called it a dust bowl and say they've had to wear masks.
195
Anna O'Neill has the story.
196
The hot weather is making London parks dusty and dry.
197
We all know how hot it's been already this year
198
and it's easy to see why the residents living near this park with thousands of people coming in
199
and out for the festival have got a real problem with the dust.
200
These social media videos from the All Points East Festival last weekend show the dust flying around.
201
The extra dust can be uncomfortable not just for festival goers but also local residents.
202
You're somewhat sweating in your flat and if you try and open your windows, a wave of dust and noise comes in.
203
It becomes rather unbearable and you can see the dust cloud pretty much anywhere.
204
It's rather noticeable from our flat and you really don't want to go near it.
205
There are concerns that more dust is having an effect on nature too.
206
When we then have a major festival with huge footfall and massive stages and industrial sized derigging,
207
setting up, the soil gets extremely compacted and that basically creates further stress.
208
But what effect is this dust having on our health?
209
These particles are pulverised sand, grass.
210
they will contain environmental bacteria and mycobacterium depending on the season.
211
There may be mould spores and pollens within the dust that's floating
212
and when it goes deeper down into the lungs it can cause inflammation.
213
All Points East organisers AEG say they've introduced additional ground protection
214
and walkways on the site to protect the ground
215
and told us we've carried out extensive restoration and reseeding work since late summer 2025 to create a more resilient environment.
216
But some people are worried that if the climate gets drier and festivals get more popular, local communities will feel the impact.
217
We know that people appreciate the festivals, but we think there has to be about balance of interest
218
and making sure that the park can sustain the level of activity.
219
It's summertime, people want to use the park.
220
With festivals also this weekend in Battersea, Southwark and Reading, the advice for festival goers is to come prepared with extra water, sunglasses to keep the dust out of the eyes
221
and maybe even a bandana or mask to stop dust from getting in the mouth and nose.
222
Anna O'Neill, BBC London.
223
Now, some of us commute so much, we may not even notice the different seat designs on the tube.
224
But one Londoner has made them her specialist subject.
225
Emily Medhurst has gone viral on social media after appearing on Mastermind, answering questions on this very niche subject.
226
We're going to chat to Emily in just a moment, but first, let's see how she got on.
227
And your specialist subject?
228
Transport for London maquette.
229
The history of the carpet-like fabric used to cover the seats of the capital's public transport vehicles.
230
In two minutes.
231
Here we go.
232
Which design depicting landmarks such as the Dome of St Paul's
233
and the London Eye is named after the publicity manager who commissioned moquettes for London Transport in the 1930s.
234
Barman.
235
Yes, the 1940s moquette known as Roundel or Bullseye was originally attributed to Eddie Chapman, but was later discovered to be the work of which other designer?
236
Joy Jarvis.
237
It was Joy Jarvis.
238
Well, that's Emily Medhurst from Ealing, scoring eight points on your chosen subject, and I'm so glad that you've joined us this evening.
239
I have so many questions.
240
First of all, I can't help but notice your sweater vest, which you wore on Mastermind.
241
Tell us about it.
242
Is that your favourite maquette?
243
How long does it take?
244
So this is the overground maquette, which was originally designed by Wallace Sewell.
245
So I just love the colours.
246
It was also something I could knit as well.
247
And it probably took about 100 hours with all the planning and everything in the end.
248
Yeah, it was a bit of a labour of love.
249
Well, it's only right that you should wear it not once but twice on telly to show it off.
250
How did you get into this, as I said earlier, niche subject?
251
Well, I've always been interested in textiles and design.
252
Grew up in London, loved the tube, loved the design that's part of TFL.
253
And then I went to an open day at Acton Depot a couple of years ago
254
and they had a stand there about maquette and I was like, this is a perfect marriage of my interest.
255
And then going on Mastermind was just a really good excuse to really delve into the topic.
256
So tell us about going on Mastermind.
257
I can only imagine that there's a huge amount of pressure.
258
Did you have to revise?
259
Were you nervous?
260
Yeah, there was a lot of revision leading up.
261
I wasn't too nervous, I think, until the week before, and then it really hit that I was actually going to be on the show, flew over to Belfast to film it,
262
and that was very nerve-wracking.
263
And how do you revise in that situation?
264
Were you just going on the tube and on the overground, refreshing your memory?
265
There's a couple of books out there, and the London Transport Museum has a really great archive as well, So I was kind of using all of that.
266
I recorded it all.
267
I made a podcast that I listened to all the time.
268
I made my partner listen to it all the time.
269
I think everyone was very bored of hearing it by the end, but it obviously worked a little bit.
270
And remind us how you did in the show.
271
So I came third.
272
There were amazing contestants in my round who did really good, but I did, I said, I want to get at least seven and I did better than that.
273
So that was good.
274
And just finally, since you're the expert, what makes a good moquette?
275
Oh, I mean, I'm sure there are some designers that would have some strict rules, but I think a unique design,
276
good use of colour and just like a really good identity to maybe the line or what it's meant to be representing.
277
Well, we've seen some wonderful examples here.
278
And of course, your own knitted sweater vest.
279
Emily Medhurst, thank you so much for coming in and telling us all about it.
280
Thank you.
281
Now, the stars of Practical Magic 2 will be walking the
282
red carpet in London tonight as the long-awaited sequel gets its UK premiere.
283
Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock return for the follow-up to the 1998 cult classic alongside Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams.
284
And while it may be a very Hollywood production, there's a little bit of Essex magic in the movie too with locations used during filming.
285
More now from Laura Foster.
286
I'm sure you've heard of the Owens family.
287
The original Practical Magic was set and shot in the USA, but this time filming has taken them to the Epping-Onger railway line.
288
Some of the filming took place here on the line, but some of it involved moving a railway carriage nearly 40 miles away to Leavesden Studios in Hertfordshire.
289
It had some aqua props put underneath it so we could simulate the train moving, so gentle rocking.
290
It was very exciting actually to be on a film set.
291
It's not something everyone gets to do every day.
292
What was it like being there, Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock?
293
Lovely.
294
Everyone was really friendly.
295
Just having a normal conversation with Sandra, you know, starstruck, it's amazing.
296
What were you talking about?
297
Just generally about the railway and the train carriage and where it came from and what we were about.
298
Everything's going to be OK.
299
Everything's going to be OK?
300
Just like it was when we had to bury a corpse under a rose bush? much, that kind of line or different.
301
Meanwhile, the film crew turned a church and graveyard in nearby Lambourne into one from New England.
302
Carpenters were putting up the false front on the church.
303
They were putting false gravestones in the churchyard.
304
It looked good and when we came to church on the Sunday, people didn't even notice it.
305
Both locations were paid money by the film studios.
306
The railway says it wasn't six figures, but it was quite a high figure.
307
jobs and and christmas and visitors coming to see us all helps us make sure
308
that we can carry on telling the story of of how britain's railways moved
309
so if you're looking for the exact seats that sandra bullock
310
and nicole kidman sat in well you need seats 17 and 18 now at the moment
311
they're marked with these paper stars
312
but the team here i think you're getting a little plaque
313
put up on the side just to commemorate their moment in this big hollywood film
314
and looks like there may be more plaques popping up in future.
315
We are really busy at the moment.
316
We've seen a real uptick in enquiries over the last few weeks.
317
Who's been in contact with you over the last few weeks?
318
I couldn't possibly say.
319
Give us a clue.
320
I can't say because it's under NDAs.
321
Rob will also actually appear in the film.
322
Is your name going to appear in the credits as Train Guy or Rob Benzzi?
323
I don't know is the honest answer to that.
324
I never asked a question.
325
We'll have to wait until the film is out next week to see if he makes the cut.
326
Laura Foster, BBC Luke East on the Epping-Onger Railway Line.
327
Now we didn't get that much rain overnight but is there more on the way?
328
Let's find out from Christopher Blanchett.
329
Good evening to you.
330
We've had another hot and sunny one today haven't we?
331
If you were hoping for some rain or showers you will have been disappointed.
332
Many areas reaching 27 Celsius.
333
Now we did see a few splashes of rain first thing this morning across the capital
334
but you can see on the satellite radar picture
335
that weather soon pulled away
336
and actually we still have a Met Office yellow warning in
337
force for the chance of thunderstorms for the next few hours
338
but really they are very much hit and miss and most of us won't see any at all.
339
So it's a dry start to the night
340
but there are changes on the way as we head through
341
the early hours we're expecting a band of heavy thundery rain to arrive from the south
342
and move in across the capital
343
and it will be a warm humid night temperatures holding in the mid to high teens
344
so very wet start to the day tomorrow with
345
that heavy rain we could well see some localized flooding poor conditions on the roads
346
but that rain pulls away fairly smartly and by lunchtime
347
and into the afternoon it's dry again
348
and there'll be some sunshine breaking through one or two residual showers
349
and temperature wise around about the mid-20s so a notch down on today but still a humid feel.
350
That takes us to Friday and it's a case of sunshine and showers arriving on southwesterly winds.
351
Some of these showers could be heavy with the odd rumble of thunder at times
352
and temperatures come mid-afternoon on Friday a little bit lower once again around about 22
353
or 23 degrees so a somewhat fresher feel.
354
That takes us to the weekend and we have low pressure nearby bringing outbreaks of rain on Saturday fairly widespread.
355
Sunday starts dry with some sunshine
356
but further rain is expected to arrive from the west through the second half of the day.
357
So you can see through the bank holiday weekend it is rather unsettled
358
but as we start next week
359
and start a new month September on Tuesday it's back to dry weather
360
but it will be a good bit fresher with afternoon highs reaching 22 degrees.
361
Well that's about it from me.
362
Just a reminder
363
that you can see some of those incredible photographs from the
364
wildlife photographer of the year competition on our website ahead of
365
going on display at the natural history museum in a few
366
months time i will be here later with our 10 30 bulletin
367
but in the meantime of course plenty more stories on the bbc news app
368
but for now from all of us here whatever you're doing do have a lovely evening 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.
