Buildings at Newcastle upon Tyne and University College London Hospitals NHS trusts have been found to have combustible cladding. They will now have to take action and continue with 24-hour fire warden patrols in the meantime. It brings the total of failed sites to five - none of the buildings has patients staying overnight. One is an office building, while the others see and treat patients during the day. In all the cases - except one - the cladding is being removed. The exception is UCLH, where a building at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery has failed tests. Other options are being explored because of the size of the building involved. Thirty-eight of the highest risk sites have now been checked. NHS bosses said the review of sites would now be expanded to other hospitals, with another six added to the high-priority list. A spokesman for NHS Improvement, the regulator in charge of carrying out the checks, said: "Patient safety continues to be our absolute priority, and we'll make sure the NHS is supported to carry out the urgent fire safety checks required." The urgent checks were ordered by Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt following the Grenfell Tower fire. In Scotland, health boards have confirmed combustible cladding has not been used on any buildings.
Two more hospitals have failed fire safety checks, ordered in the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower fire.

One woman has found a simple way to show solidarity against racism - wear a safety pin. @Cheeahs has started the hashtag #SafetyPin which has been shared nearly 30,000 times. Angered by the stories of racism, she used Twitter to find a way of showing her frustration. She decided that a safety pin was the simplest solution. @Cheeah's real name is Allison - she doesn't want her surname used for safety reasons. She lives in London. Speaking to the BBC she says, "This is meant to be more than just a symbolic gesture or a way for like-minded people to pat each other on the back. If people wear the pin and support the campaign they are saying they are prepared to be part of the solution. It could be by confronting racist behaviour, or if that is not possible at least documenting it. More generally it is about reaching out to people and letting them know they are safe and welcome," she says. @EmilyBaah asks, "Why do u need a #safetypin to show you're not racist? Surely u should just not be racist as a default setting, maybe?". Other Twitter users have taken sarcastic sideswipes at the campaign and the people throwing their weight behind it. Offensive graffiti has been scrawled at a Polish centre in London, cards reading "no more Polish vermin" have been posted through letterboxes in Cambridge and a US veteran has been called "an immigrant" and told to "get back to Africa" while on a tram in Manchester. Allison is not from the UK - she is from New England, USA - but she considers herself an "undercover immigrant" due to the fact she is white and English speaking. "I am not a British citizen, I cannot vote but I am a part of this society. I am married to an Englishman and have lived here for six years. It is important for me to stand with others who can't go undercover." Written by Zak Brophy, UGC & Social News Team
There have been reports of racist abuse in the UK since the referendum result.

Smyth, 25, from Eglinton retained his 100 metres T13 title, bursting away from the field to win in a world record time of 10.46 seconds. Glengormley man McKillop, also a hot favourite to repeat his Beijing win, was a runaway winner of the T32 title over 800 metres. McKillop also set a new world best, coming home in 1.57.22. Australian Brad Scott was with McKillop at the bell, but the Irish man went it alone for the final 400 metres and the 22-year-old finished more than four seconds ahead of Tunisia's Mohamed Charmi with Scott taking bronze. McKillop said watching Smyth's victory earlier had inspired him. "We are best friends and room-mates. I could not have walked into that bedroom tonight without a gold medal around my neck," said McKillop" Both athletes can each win a second gold later in the Games. Sprinter Smyth, who won double gold in 2008, is targeting another success in the 200 metres while McKillop goes in the 1500m final on Monday. McKillop is unbeaten at Paralympic level for six years and won over his two distances at last year's World Championships. Smyth, visually impaired because of Stargardt disease, was disappointed not to qualify for the Olympics, missing the 100m 'A' standard by 0.04 seconds. The fastest Paralympian in the world spread his arms wide in celebration as he crossed the line, winning by a margin not even Usain Bolt is accustomed to. The reigning champion's victory was never in doubt as he won by over half a second from Cuban Luis Felipe Gutierrez. Smyth has run quicker, but only in non-disabled competition. Another Paralympic crown helped make up for the Derry athlete's disappointment at missing out on Olympic qualification. Draped in an Irish flag which declared him the 'fastest Paralympian on the planet', he said: "Coming in as champion, you are under pressure to retain your titles so thankfully I was able to do that. "It was an added bonus to run quickly and break the world record again. "To be in that stadium with 80,000 people, half of them seeming like they're Irish cheering, and even the British were really supportive, makes the whole Games a lot better." Asked if it made up for his Olympic absence, he said: "It was very disappointing to be so close, I had put in a lot of hard work to try and get there and it would have been fantastic. "There is definitely something sweeter about coming to a major event, succeeding and coming away with the gold medal." Earlier, Ireland celebrated gold in the pool when Darragh McDonald won the 400m freestyle S6 in a time of 4.55.56
Northern Ireland runners Jason Smyth and Michael McKillop won gold medals at the Paralympics on Saturday night.

Jordan Henderson's curling effort put the Reds ahead before Edin Dzeko finished off a slick move to equalise. But Brazil midfielder Coutinho capped a fine display with the decisive goal when he struck from 25 yards. The result leaves City five points behind Chelsea having played a game extra, while Liverpool move to fifth. Liverpool's 3-2 victory in this fixture last April was seen as a pivotal moment for the Reds in last season's title charge, although ultimately it was City that went on to win the Premier League a month later. With current league leaders Chelsea in League Cup final action against Tottenham, City manager Manuel Pellegrini had underlined the importance of this match and the need for his side to "keep fighting" in the title race. Media playback is not supported on this device City made a two-point gain on Chelsea last weekend but they were unable to make up further ground on Jose Mourinho's side after Coutinho scored the winning goal against them at Anfield for the second consecutive season. For Liverpool, it kept their unbeaten league record in 2015 and, having taken 26 points from a possible 30, momentum appears to be building in their bid to finish in one of the Champions League places. Liverpool only arrived back at 04:30 GMT on Friday following their penalty shootout defeat by Besiktas in the Europa League last week, and despite the physical toils of their travels Rodgers felt his players would be "mentally ready" to face City. They showed few signs of tiredness, although it was Coutinho, rested for last week's trip to Istanbul, who was at the heart of Liverpool's attacking play. Coutinho's sharpness helped Liverpool take an 11th-minute lead when he stole the ball off Vincent Kompany, making his 200th league appearance for City, and Raheem Sterling slipped the ball out wide to Henderson. Media playback is not supported on this device The England midfielder, who wore the Liverpool captain's armband in the absence of the injured Steven Gerrard, cut inside onto his favoured right foot and curled a stunning shot past Joe Hart and into the top right corner of the net. The goal brought greater urgency to City's play and they almost equalised when Sergio Aguero latched on to David Silva's through ball only for the Argentine forward's shot to rebound off the post. City got themselves on level terms before the half-hour mark with a slick move that culminated in Aguero's clever pass into the area for Dzeko, and the Bosnia forward clinically dispatched a low shot past Simon Mignolet in the Liverpool goal. Aguero headed over from a dangerous position shortly after half-time, while Liverpool's Adam Lallana had the ball in the net again when he glanced in a free-kick only for the officials to judge he did so from an offside position. Coutinho always seemed Liverpool's most likely source of another goal and delivered the telling blow with a strike akin to the quality of the one he scored in their 2-0 win against Southampton last Sunday. The playmaker jinked in from the left flank and curled a spectacular shot past Hart and into the top right corner of the net in front of the Kop.
Philippe Coutinho scored a stunning winner as Liverpool dented Manchester City's Premier League title defence with a narrow victory at Anfield.
