Good more tower blocks across england, have failed Safety Checks on cladding, in the wake of the Grenfell Tower fire disaster. 60 high rise buildings in 25 local Authority Areas have now been checked, and the results show a 100 failure rate, in meeting fire safety standards. Local councils are being urged to send samples in for testing more quickly, with more than 500 other buildings nationwide, still to be checked. Duncan kennedy reports. Pendleton in salford, the latest location where Tower Block Cladding is being removed. It is an unsettling sight for another group of residents who have lived here many years. Its left us, as residents, very confused and very concerned about the safety of where we live. The government has continued to test cladding. Tonight, they released new figures. 60 buildings have now failed Safety Checks. That is across 25 local authorities. Of the 25, 14 have been named, including barnet, manchester and sunderland. The government confirmed that of those tested, so far there has been a 100 failure rate on samples. Its a list that keeps on growing, but it is also the fact that every single sample of cladding being tested is now failing that will be most worrying for these local authorities and their residents, but also the government, whose bill for fixing all of this continues to mount. In 2009, six people died at Lakanal House in london. The Report Author was sir kenneth knight. He has been drafted in by the government to join a team to look at the early lessons to be learned from the Grenfell Tower disaster. We asked if the tests being carried out go further than the current regulations. In answer to your question, it is being tested what is the current Building Regulations in place. And the tests would imply that it wouldnt meet the current Building Regulations, and that is the crucial point. Arnold has been a Fire Safety Expert for 20 years. He says cladding currently only has to withstand flame tests from the front. But he says this is simply not enough. Make the tests more robust. Test everything, test every angle, then you will know it works. Today, entire families have been hauling their possessions away from four tower blocks. Safety measures are being put in place. Many were too upset to speak about it. Around 200 people, including this man, are refusing to leave the blocks. Are you planning to stay . Staying have you been told to leave today . Michelle burkard and her 87 year old father, edward, are prepared to move out, but dont know where to go. We went with them to check out a local hotel the council are offering. I have actually heard they are quite hot. Michelle went in and filmed on her phone to see if it was suitable for theirfamily. 0h, theres flies in here. Afterwards, she seemed satisfied with what was being offered. How was the hotel . It was ok. Not too bad. Good enough . Yeah, good enough. Will you be moving . Yes, we will. Camden council says it needs to empty towers to start the remedial work, but accepts its powers to move people are limited. We just keep having the conversation, again and again, keeping people aware, making sure there are people on the block. The Fire Services say it is not safe to stay, and they need to go. 11 days ago, few would have known the words Grenfell Tower or cladding. But because of them, the lives of thousands of people continued to be changed. And a little earlier Duncan Kennedy gave us an update on how many people have been rehoused so far in camden. As far as the accommodation is concerned, we still have 200 people in the flats removing to move out. They say that the alternative is not good enough. The council says they have to go, otherwise there are media work cannot take place. It is still not clear what legal powers the council have two movies people. As far as testing is concerned, we saw that 60 buildings have now failed the Cladding Tests across 25 local authorities. You will remember at the start of this crisis, the government was talking about 600 buildings that needs testing. What is happening with those . How far are we in terms of that testing . What action is going to be taken in terms of those buildings themselves . Will they have to be closed . The brexit secretary, david davis, says hes pretty sure, but not certain, the uk can secure a deal with brussels as it leaves the european union. His remarks come after the chancellor Philip Hammond said no deal would be very, very bad for the uk. Heres our Political Correspondent eleanor garnier. A year after the vote to leave the eu, talks about the terms of britains divorce have now started. And brexit looms overhead for the Prime Minister. But a week after the chancellor said no deal would be very, very bad for the uk, the brexit secretary, the man tasked with securing that deal, seems uncertain as to whether he will get one. Im pretty sure. Im not 100 sure. You can never be. It is a negotiation. You said right at the beginning of this, we are guaranteed to get a deal, you can be sure we will get a deal. You can be sure there will be a deal. Whether its the deal that i want, which is the free trade agreement, the Customs Agreement and so on, its im pretty sure, but im not certain. With the clock for two years of talks ticking down, there are some key issues at the top of the government in tray.

We are trying to ensure that every individual citizen gets their current position, as it were, locked in place for them, so the anxiety can go. This is the real issue. It is about peoples anxiety. Its not about the prospect of deporting people. David davis acknowledged having left we would need a one or two year transitional arrangement, with a phased process, to allow businesses and government time to adapt. But he still insists a bad deal would mean britain walking away. What david davis has revealed is that his handling of this whole affair inspires about as much confidence as a drunken trapeze artist. The problem is that when he crashes to earth, he will bring the whole of the country with him. The details of labours position remains unclear, but the party insists the economy must come first. What we have to have is a brexit which works forjobs and for growth, and also for the protections which working people have. How that comes out of the negotiations remains to be seen.

Its clear there is now a new conciliatory, far less combative tone, from those at the top of government. She is in charge of the negotiations for now. But many tories arent sure if she will see brexit through to the finish, as the Prime Minister is all too aware. A car has collided with pedestrians in newcastle, injuring six people.
