than insurance companies don't provide that much information about how they arrive". bbc iverify has tried to find out about war and what factors could lead to you paying a lot more. if you live in an area with lots of ethnic minorities, you could be paying what's been done to buy —— dubbed by some and ethnicity payment. i:e., you're paying more. let me explain a bit about how we arrived at these figures using the screens here. bbc verifiers looked at thousands of addresses in every local authority in england. we've gone to a price comparison website and got quotes for each of these addresses. all of the details we used were the same — a 30—year—old teacher driving a ford fiesta. the only thing we changed was the address.
5:51 pm
and if you live in an area with more people from ethnic minority backgrounds, your costs go up, and they go up a lot. have a look at this example here just outside of birmingham, an area called sandwell. these two areas in sandwell are pretty similar. they have similar levels of crime and similar levels of car accidents. the big difference is the number of people from ethnic minorities. you can see here in this area, it'sjust over 10%. down here, it'sjust under 45%. we went on an insurance comparison website and got quotes for both of these areas. have a look at the difference. up here in princes end, with this lower ethnic minority population, with its lower ethnic minority population, we were quoted just under £2,000. but down here in great bridge, with its higher ethnic minority population, the quote was £800 more, — almost £2,800. more — almost £2,800. this isn't an isolated example either. this was happening all over england when we did these searches. on average, car insurance quotes were a third higher in the most ethnically
5:52 pm
diverse parts of england compared with the least diverse. so, what's the reaction been? well, we went to citizens advice. they've looked at this sort of thing before and we put our figures to them. this was their response. we are talking about hundreds of pounds during a cost of living crisis when every single pound counts. that's why it's essential that insurers and their regulator, the financial conduct authority, answer the question of what is going on here and what is driving this ethnicity penalty. we also put these findings to the association of british insurers. they're the group that represents insurance firms. they pointed out that insurers are considering a wide range of what they call "risk—related factors" when they're working out car insurance quotes. they also told us that insurers do not and cannot use ethnicity as a factor when setting prices. but they added... sorry, let me just get it up here.
5:53 pm
they added... so, that debate will continue. so, that debate will continue — not for the first time is raising questions about how exactly the insurance world works. it's pretty secretive, but this research suggests it can be pretty unfair, too. that's just about it from me today. i'm going to leave you with one more story. it's a fascinating story. police have adopted a new tactic in their fight police have adopted a new tactic in theirfight against police have adopted a new tactic in their fight against anti—social behaviour. it's called a trojan bus. officers in south shields, near newcastle, are using decoy public transport — rather than police cars — to give them an element of surprise. our north of england reporter, rowan bridge, has the story. behaviour like this causes fear and intimidation for communities across the country. children causing misery for those who are targeted.
5:54 pm
tonight, we've joined the fight against it in south shields. this is northumbria police's trojan bus. it gives the element of surprise. they've gone on the platform of the train station. it allows them to get close to trouble without being recognised. we'rejustjumping back on the metro to go down towards the, erm, city centre. this is the new front line in tackling anti—social behaviour. we'll quickly go through the briefing for our operation tonight on the trojan bus. tonight's operation began a few hours earlier with a briefing at south shields police station. whispering: as you can see, they'rejust running through the operation at the moment. now, it's an ordinary stagecoach bus that's going to be driving around, but it won't be on a normal bus route. instead, it's going to target areas that are hotspots for anti—social behaviour. we've been out less than an hour, and already, police are dealing with trouble at the bus station. i've spoke to his mam,
5:55 pm
she's aware of the search. i've told her she can come down the station and see the body—worn if she wants to. children letting off fireworks. you have to leave right now, right? they're handed a dispersal order and banned from the area. how effective is a dispersal order in trying to tackle these sorts of problems? yeah, it's very effective. itjust shows by... we've dealt with it there and then. they're getting given a chance. they might have found themselves in a little bit of bother _ with the wrong group. this is your chance to go leave the area and you won't find . yourself in bother. it seems to be getting a lot worse at the moment around the area, especially down the seafront. at the moment, the last couple of weeks, there's been a couple of teenagers smashing all the windows and that. people don't want to come out at night, basically, because of it. terrible. when you get on, it's full of them on their bikes and the abuse and the language isjust terrible. all on their vapes. awful. they've got no respect for anybody and they're just abusive. it's horrible. they're going on one wheel, running in front of you. -

of anti—social behaviour. rowan bridge, bbc news, south shields. hello there, good evening. a rather wet start across the southeast of england today, but for many, it was largely dry. the best of the sunshine towards the west today, such as here in northern ireland, also western scotland. wales and the southwest of england, seeing lots of blue sky around, some sunny spells, but also some showers blowing in from the north sea, though, further east. and the general forecast, as we head through the rest of the week, it's going to be changeable — wet and windy at times, some frost and fog forming perhaps for some over the next couple of nights. and then the air turns briefly milder through the middle part of the week. now, overnight tonight, we look out towards the northwest of scotland, into northern ireland, where we see a couple of weather fronts approaching. temperatures dipping away for a while, but then rising again as the cloud starts to thicken and the rain pushes through. but further south, for england and wales, it's going to be rather chilly. it's going to feel rather chilly. there'll be a frost and also some fog developing
5:58 pm
as the winds lighten — the fog most likely for the east midlands and into east anglia. but this is how we'll start of the day on tuesday. now, that fog will be slow to lift and clear. there will be some hazy sunshine across the southeastern quadrant of the uk. further north and west, that front just continues to slip further southwards and eastwards, but as it bumps into the high pressure, it's fizzling out. so, the rain will be really quite negligible by the time we get to the end of the day. brighter skies developing behind the front. a scattering of showers and temperatures are milder across much of scotland, northern england and northern ireland, 9 or 10 celsius here. now, as we head through tuesday night, again, a frost possible across england and wales, but to windy for any frost to form but too windy for any frost to form really further north than that and another warm front approaches. now, this is going to drag with it some milder—feeling air and also some further outbreaks of rain — heaviest towards the west across northern ireland, western scotland, down through northwest england, western wales and the southwest of england. but it's a largely dry day, but with thickening cloud through the afternoon across eastern england.
5:59 pm
temperatures here reaching double figures as that milder air gradually sweeps its way eastwards. but then a couple of cold fronts will be pushing through as we head through thursday. so, again, it will be turning colderfor most. this rain pushes across east anglia through central southern england, perhaps pepping up at times. brighter skies, but also a good scattering of showers and some chillier—feeling air. some of these showers could be wintry, perhaps over today at six: the former tory mp lee anderson doubles down on his controversial claims about london mayor sadiq khan. mr anderson has again refused to apologise for saying that the mayor
