Around the UK, a hidden crisis has been growing over the past eight years.Since the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017, something extraordinary has become clear about many of Britain's high-rise residential buildings. They are nothing like as safe as we had imagined. In fact, the latest statistics show that more than 5,000 high-rise buildings have faults so serious they pose a risk to life. Clearing this up has quietly become one of the biggest infrastructure challenges of our generation, with a bill totalling £16.6 billion and rising, and a project which could continue for the next 20 years.Author and housing journalist Peter Apps investigates the building safety crisis through the story of one building which has many of the problems afflicting places across the country.What is the reality for people living there? Why was it built like this? And with the government's promise of 1.5 million new homes over the next five years, do we risk making the same mistakes again?Presenter: Peter Apps Producer: Ant Adeane Assistant Producer: May Robson Executive Producer: Anishka Sharma Mix: Mike WoolleyA Reduced Listening production for Radio 4

In this episode Jules speaks to 20-year-old Kerry, who's only been out of prison a month at the time of recording. They chat about how losing a friend in the Grenfell Tower fire at the age of 13 had a massive impact on Kerry, who later became expelled from school, and at the age of 17 received a 5 year prison sentence. For Kerry, being recalled back to prison after being released half way through her sentence was a big wake up call, and changed her outlook on moving forwards.

The Grenfell Tower fire in 2017 is a scandalous stain on British history. The fire claimed 72 lives but despite the relentless battle families and campaigners have faced, no one has yet been brought to justice. However, this hasn't stopped survivors and bereaved families fighting to make sure the legacy of Grenfell's victims lives on. Lucy and Lee talk to Sandra Ruiz from the Grenfell Tower Memorial Commission. Sandra speaks about the importance of collective community action and how that has helped relatives and survivors take ownership of the decision-making process in the ways Grenfell is memorialised, including the more organic methods of remembering those who died.Find out more about the Grenfell Tower Memorial Commission (https://www.grenfelltowermemorial.co.uk/) Hosted on Acast.

It was one of the UK's worst modern disasters - and yet seven years on, no one has been held accountable for the Grenfell fire. With the official inquiry's final report set to be released, people are expecting answers. How did the London tower block catch fire so quickly in June 2017? Why did 72 people die? And who is to blame?A police investigation is still ongoing, meaning the bereaved and survivors of Grenfell Tower will have to wait until at least 2027 before anyone can face charges. Chief Reporter Rob Mendick has been speaking to Flora and Hisam who were directly affected by the fire, Kimia Zabihyan (Advocate and Co-ordinator of Grenfell Next of Kin), and lawyer Imran Khan to hear what they think about the inquiry and what they want to see from the upcoming report into the tragedy.Reporter: Robert MendickProducer: Georgia CoanScript Editor: Venetia RaineyExecutive Producer: Louisa WellsStudio Operator: Meghan SearleSocial Media Producer: Niamh WalshEditor: Camilla TomineyOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.

This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS One month into 2025, attempted counter-racist Neely Fuller Jr. transitioned after 9 decades of being a Victim of White Supremacy. Attempted counter-racists around the globe send their condolences and gratitude to Mr. Fuller's attempted family for his years service to Replace White Supremacy With Justice. We'll see if Fuller's transition motivates more non-white people to use their time Producing Justice or at least to ease up on name-calling black people. Gus won't hold his breath on the name-calling. We also hear about plans to raze the ruins of Grenfell Tower - where dozens of people perished in the 2017 blaze.

In the hot, dry summer of 1976, Mary Joy Langdon made a very bold decision: she joined the fire service. She was the first woman in the UK to work as a professional operational fire-fighter. Then, after eight years, she changed course - and became a nun.In 1989, as Sister Mary Joy Langdon, she founded the Wormwood Scrubs Pony Centre, introducing inner-city children and young people with disabilities to horse riding. Recently it helped children traumatised by the Grenfell Tower fire. The Centre also attracted one of Britain's most acclaimed painters – Lucian Freud - who came to draw the horses.

In the worst UK residential fire since World War II, fire engulfed the twenty-four story Grenfell Tower building in West London, claiming the lives of seventy people. Investigations revealed a primary reason the flames spread so quickly was the cladding that covered the building’s exterior. The material was aluminum on the outside but had an extremely flammable plastic core. How was such a dangerous material allowed to be sold? The product’s sellers failed to disclose poor fire safety test results. And buyers, drawn by the material’s cheap price tag, failed to heed warning signs. The shiny cladding looked nice on the outside. Some of Jesus’ harshest words were directed at religious teachers He accused of covering corruption behind a nice-looking exterior. He said they were like “whitewashed tombs”—"beautiful on the outside” but inside full of dead bones (Matthew 23:27). Instead of pursuing “justice, mercy and faithfulness” (v. 23), they were focused on looking good—cleaning “the outside of the cup” but not the “greed and self-indulgence” inside (v. 25). It’s easier to focus on looking good than to bring our sin and brokenness honestly before God. But a nice-looking exterior doesn’t make a corrupt heart any less dangerous. God invites us to let Him transform all of us from the inside (1 John 1:9).

Der schlimmste Wohnhausbrand in Großbritannien seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg erfasste den 24-stöckigen Grenfell Tower im Westen Londons und forderte 70 Todesopfer. Die Untersuchungen ergaben, dass einer der Hauptgründe für die rasche Ausbreitung der Flammen die Verkleidung war, die bei der Renovierung der Außenfassade des Gebäudes verwendet wurde. Das Material bestand außen aus Aluminium, hatte aber einen extrem brennbaren Kunststoffkern.

As the long-awaited final report into Grenfell Tower is made public, we look at the cladding that has been at the centre of the story for seven years. We ask Richard Hull, an expert in chemistry and fire science who's been following the story, why it was used in the first place and what made it so dangerous. Also this week, the neuroscience of the Oasis queue, the technology powering Paralympic athletes and strange sounds from space...

The final report into the Grenfell Tower fire was released last week. It unequivocally states that the tragedy was the result of systemic failures across central and local government, in the construction and design industries and among local social housing managers – and that the 72 deaths were avoidable.
