新安全法案不足,留下建筑物面临风险

建築物在新安全法下仍然容易發生火災,行業領袖警告

英國政府提出的新火災安全法令遭到建造業領袖的強烈批評,領袖警告該法令仍會讓建築物容易發生火災,因為指南過於寬鬆,容易被解讀。根據英國建設管理學會會長大衛·瓊斯(David Jones)的說法,這個法令是「軟弱無力的」(spineless),並會讓開發商利用漏洞,將利潤置於安全之上。

該法令旨在解決可燃外牆板材的危機,但被批評為允許太多「可以忍受的風險」(tolerable risks)。例如,它將允許窗戶系統和樓層之間的可燃材料保持不變,即使它們可能會讓火災蔓延。这引發了人們的擔憂,即該法令無法充分保護高層建築的居民,與外牆板材活動家所提出的類似擔憂相呼應。截至目前,斯特拉特福德東村(Stratfords East Village)所有63棟公寓樓已被發現具有危險的外牆板材和火災安全缺陷。

該法令是政府將格倫費爾火災(Grenfell fire)後的火災安全指南轉化為法律的結果。然而,像瓊斯這樣的行業領袖認為,這些指南是「寬鬆的」(loose)和「容易被解讀的」(open to interpretation)。這引發了人們的擔憂,即該法令無法有效地防止未來的火災。根據瓊斯的說法,「它讓開發商利用漏洞,將利潤置於安全之上。」他進一步補充說,這個法令是「軟弱無力的」(spineless),並且無法為高層建築的居民提供充分的保護。

該法令遭到了各方的批評,包括外牆板材活動家,他們一直倡導更嚴格的火災安全法規。他們認為,這個法令無法解決可燃外牆板材危機的根源,只會提供一個暫時的解決方案。英國政府尚未對批評做出回應,但預計在未來幾天內會對該法令提供詳細的解釋。

隨著對該法令的辯論繼續,高層建築的居民仍然擔心自己的安全。該法令引發了更多的疑問,而不是答案,還需要觀察它是否能夠有效地防止未來的火災。英國政府正面臨著解決可燃外牆板材危機的壓力,該法令預計將成為未來幾周的關注點之一。

英國政府的一位發言人在一份聲明中表示,他們致力於確保高層建築居民的安全。然而,他們拒絕對該法令的具體細節發表評論。英國政府承諾在未來幾天內對該法令提供詳細的解釋,還需要觀察他們如何應對行業領袖和外牆板材活動家所提出的擔憂。

該法令預計將成為未來幾周的關注點之一,英國政府正面臨著解決可燃外牆板材危機的壓力。隨著對該法令的辯論繼續,高層建築的居民仍然擔心自己的安全。只有時間才能告訴我們該法令是否能夠有效地防止未來的火災,和確保高層建築居民的安全。

"US Denies Visas to UK Social Media Activists"

In a recent development, the US State Department has denied visas to five individuals, including two UK social media campaigners, Imran Ahmed and Clare Melford, citing their efforts to coerce American tech platforms into suppressing free speech. This move has been met with condemnation from European leaders, who view it as an attempt to undermine digital sovereignty. The UK government, however, has expressed support for the US stance on upholding free speech, while maintaining its commitment to addressing online hate and disinformation.

Democratic Board Member Sues to Block Trump's Name from Kennedy Center

A Democratic board member, Representative Joyce Beatty, has filed a lawsuit to remove President Donald Trump's name from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, claiming the renaming was illegal without Congressional approval. The board, dominated by Trump allies, voted to rename the center in his honor, citing his efforts to strengthen the center's finances and modernize its facilities. The lawsuit argues that the center was intended to be a "living memorial" to President Kennedy, and the renaming undermines its original purpose.

"Algeria Declares French Colonisation a Crime"

Algeria's parliament has unanimously passed a law declaring France's colonization of the country a crime, demanding an apology and reparations, and criminalizing the glorification of colonialism. This move comes amid strained diplomatic relations between the two nations, with France's President Emmanuel Macron previously acknowledging the colonization as a "crime against humanity" but not offering an apology. The legislation is part of a growing global trend of Western powers being pressured to offer reparations for colonialism and slavery, and return looted artifacts.
