This statement is false. Brent tells Candy that "London hasn't seen smog since 1952", indicating that "smog" is no longer common in London (though it once was, during the industrial revolution).
Candy says that "the fog will be around all weekend". The expression "to be around" indicates that fog will "be present". Example: "Humans have been around for thousands of years". The main point of Candy's report is that there is a lot of fog in London this weekend.
This statement is false. Although Brent describes "smog" as the result of coal "burning", he is not referring to a burning building.
Towards the end of this broadcast, Candy falls down a hole in the street and ends up in a "sewer" which smells "really bad". "Sewers" are the network of underground tunnels and pipes which drain waste and water. Brent concludes the dialogue by thanking Candy, who is "reporting live from the heart of the London sewers".
This statement is false. Candy initially reports that London is full of "smog" this weekend. Brent then corrects her saying that there is no longer a lot of "smog" (which describes industrial pollution) in London. Brent explains that "smog is caused by a mixture of smoke and sulphur dioxide. 'Fog" is a natural occurrence which has to do with condensation in the atmosphere. Fog and smog are terms which describe different weather conditions.
