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.

In Lebanon, one in five people have been forced to leave their homes since fighting renewed in March.
The BBC’s Middle East correspondent Hugo Bachega joined paramedics on duty in Nabatieh – a city that was once vibrant, but is now abandoned.
Israel say some ambulances and health facilities in Lebanon are being used by Hezbollah – but paramedics say there is no evidence of this claim.
Elsewhere, the Israel Defense Forces said troops had killed more than 20 Hezbollah fighters operating from a hospital compound in Bint Jbeil on Sunday, the site of fierce fighting during the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah.
Lebanon’s health ministry denied the claim, accusing Israel of targeting civilians and medical facilities.

Police in Greece have been recruiting migrants to violently push other migrants back across its land border with Turkey, according to wide-ranging evidence uncovered by the BBC.
Pushbacks – forcing migrants and asylum seekers back across borders without due process – are generally considered illegal under international law.
The Greek prime minister told the BBC he was “totally unaware” about allegations of the use of migrants for pushbacks, while the country’s authorities have not responded to our written detailed requests for comment.

US President Donald Trump has accused Iran of doing a “very poor job” in handling oil passing through the Strait of Hormuz, arguing it was “not the agreement we have”.
It comes as the ceasefire between the US and Iran was agreed earlier this week, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu aiming to begin direct talks with Lebanon for peaceful relations.
A US State Department official confirmed it would host a meeting next week in Washington “to discuss ongoing ceasefire negotiations with Israel and Lebanon”.
After Israeli strikes continued in Lebanon throughout Thursday, Trump said that Israel would be “scaling back” its strikes in the country to support peace talks.

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. 🤦🏻♂️

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.🥴

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
