Inside London’s newly refurbished Big Ben – BBC News
One of the world’s most recognisable clocks has had a facelift.
Restoration on Big Ben’s Elizabeth Tower, next to the Houses of Parliament in London, England, is due to be completed this summer to a budget of £79.7m.
The BBC has been given special access inside the tower to take a closer look.

Despite police crackdowns and accusations of brutality during protests this week, India’s ‘youth-led’ Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) is showing no signs of slowing down, as it gathers support from the public and opposition politicians.
The group is demanding education reforms and the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who oversaw exams in the country which were subject to corruption claims. The group began after India’s Chief Justice, Surya Kant, allegedly compared unemployed young people and activists to cockroaches and parasites during a court hearing. He later said he was only referring to people with “fake and bogus degrees”, but when graduate Abhijeet Dipke used the name Cockroach Party to start a satirical group online, it gained millions of followers rapidly and grew into one of the most unexpected challenges to the powerful, nationalist government.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowed to take care of the country’s youth in a midnight video, after the party called for nationwide protests to be held again on Friday and talks between representatives of the Cockroach Party and government officials later took place in Delhi, but as our Global Affairs Correspondent and India specialist Anbarasan Ethirajan explains, the fractures between young people in India and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) run deeper than anger over exam fraud.

I love Big Ben, it is England’s landmark, is sad to know the building around it is falling apart and could at any time go up in flames. 🤦🏻♂️

Big Ben is now 163 years old
And it was built on Tuesday 31st May 1859.

I don't really know about anyone else but for myself, the new colour scheme on the clockface is going to take quite a bit of getting used to with the gold and the Prussian blue paint.
I am aware of the reasons why it was painted like this as it's how it was originally but it's the first time in my own lifetime that I have saw it painted in these colours as opposed to how it was before restoration work began last decade.
I know that it's a form of Blue paint called Prussian Blue but it does look like a form of Purple at first glance.
Still, a nice change if a bit weird.🥴

They've done a great job, I just don't see why it had to be so expensive.

Can we know why the visit of BigBen is forbidden to foreign tourists ?
Is it related to terrorist risks or other reasons ?

1:36 Can we stop this annoying visual cliche of starting a shot all blurry and coming into focus? Just start the shot in focus. Waiting for it to come in to focus is like the internet of 20 years ago and waiting for a photo to download and slowly get clearer, its dumb

Imagine travelling to London in the old days through pokey little villages and over rolling hills, having never seen anything higher than a few stories and then you get to the capital city and see that beautiful clocktower, would be a sight to behold
