New Providence Wharf fire: Blaze at tower blocked wrapped in 'Grenfell cladding' tackled by more than 100 firefighters
Residents have had to evacuate themselves from a blaze in a London block of flats covered in the same type of cladding as Grenfell Tower. More than 100 firefighters tackled the fire at New Providence Wharf in Poplar, east London on Friday morning. More than 20 fire engines and around a dozen ambulances were rushed to the scene. The fire ripped through three floors of the 19-storey building, which contains more than 500 flats. Residents said they had to evacuate themselves from the burning building after fire alarms and a waking watch system, whereby trained personnel patrol the floors and exterior of a building, failed. One resident told The Telegraph they were told to stay in the building, rather than evacuate.

Hijacked gloves, politicization concerns in 2020 census
U.S. Census Bureau officials on Thursday recapped the challenges of executing the nation's head count, which included hijacked personal protective equipment for census takers, difficulty getting access to tribal lands because of pandemic restrictions and worry that nonprofits wouldn't want to partner with the statistical agency because of the Trump administration’s failed effort to add a citizenship question to the census. The assessment of the once-a-decade census by top Census Bureau officials came during a virtual meeting of the bureau's National Advisory Committee on Racial, Ethnic and Other Populations. Tim Olson, who led the data collection efforts for the 2020 census, acknowledged that bureau officials, before the start of the head count, worried that community groups and nonprofits wouldn't want to partner with the agency in encouraging people to participate because of the Trump administration's failed efforts to gather citizenship information on U.S. residents.
