Just getting inside the tower i want you know people in handcuffs people in courtrooms people in jail cells. You know people in print where it says what their daughter all because what use is that the inquiry report criticizes the fire brigade for a series of bad decisions on the night of the fire with disastrous consequences but many people blame the local council they say complaints made before the fire were ignored and that they didnt feel safe.

But due to overfishing they are at risk of extinction. Conservationists are trying to save the endangered birds. One last chance to relax together before things starts to get uncomfortable. An appointment with dr roberts is not something these penguins seem to be looking forward to so at the moment put are doing is were just checking on the penguins and making sure that theyre all ready for release so we each one has his own and we thought this is medical records this one he had known as well so he was 70 percent oiled and he was emaciated he was really underweight the conservationists take in sea birds in peril and try to prepare them to be released back into the wilds thousands of injured animals come here every year some will stay here forever as they would not so wife and their nature will habitats. But these birds might not be here in the long term. They are in danger of extinction its quite possible that one can go extinct in the future and weve had a dramatic declines in time with numbers even between the concert last year and this year the numbers of dropped by about 2000 breeding as so we have less than 20000 breeding pairs thats scary you know. At least penguins 1st have to spend time in a small box but only briefly until they have fully recovered and are ready to return to the wild. In simons town one of the few remaining penguin colonies they are released. Oh. It went really well. So quickly they didnt get confused the crowd was very polite and not too noisy so that didnt scare the penguins and they were they went straight out in the direction they should have gone. Already we can see them i think theres one head sticking out over there so now the threats that they face of the same as all the other wild penguins people need to think about the impacts of what theyre doing and how they can affect the penguins but all of the sea life and other wildlife that is in danger from human interaction. Still the message seems to have got through to the hundreds of people in the crowd over here we have a lot of folk in nations who are trying to save the oceans and. Get back in but theres a lot more we can do is you must do more to protect them because you see what is happening and see this is not only seen as it used to be there is less problem than in the worst Case Scenario the last african penguin colony will die our roads in 20 or 30 years but people here definitely want to prevent that from happening.
