final word to ulez per. >> mhm. i've got about ten i mean and he's it's he's lost his mum and it's horrible when the horrible when you're the favourite child and the parent dies the other siblings favourite child and the parent die are the other siblings favourite child and the parent dieare well. the other siblings go are well. >> but some people , you know >> but some people, you know he's not been convicted of anything. he has said that he you know he has all denied all allegations . you know he has all denied all allegations. but you you know he has all denied all allegations . but you know, in my allegations. but you know, in my view i do i kind of agree with matthew and lois in this one. if somebody's done something wrong, they should be investigated properly. be nice they should be investigated prthe'ly. be nice they should be investigated prthe police be nice they should be investigated prthe police would be nice they should be investigated prthe police would also; nice if the police would also investigate t

everybody every uber driver i speak to is sick of him, is sick of all the ulez nonsense.nd shaun bailey last and i think shaun bailey last time round, uh, everybody thought bailey was, was thought shaun bailey was, was going terribly and going to do terribly and actually really well. actually did really well. so this round, think , i this time round, i think, i think to have think we're going to have another and this time another surprise. and this time it actually go over it could actually go over the line we line and dethrone, uh, can we will . will see right. >> what are the times going >> and what are the times going with anneliese? >> times have got mental >> so the times have got mental ill health driving surge in disability claims. so the cost of the benefit to the taxpayer is set to rise 50% amid warnings the bill is out of control. and this this rankles with me because when you think of disability benefit , you because when you think of disability benefit, you think of, you know, somebody who can't, you know, use their arms or like that. so they or something like

so who michelle is you, so who michelle is ulez you, you're have to do it. you're going to have to doi frequently had a panellist, habib, on this panellist, ben habib, on this program frequently. program and he will frequently. he will cite these various aspects of international law and he will say it is legal to do this. so there are people out there actually, that would dispute that it's dispute the fact that it's illegal whatever is to do illegal or whatever it is to do that. i want to just also focus on the facts, because i don't want to be glossed over. want it to be glossed over. 6000 asylum want it to be glossed over. 6000 asyabsolutely have gone. it's >> absolutely have gone. it's outrageous. and that's why one of the key points in labour's five point plan is to get on top of the backlog we saw today. the prime off for prime minister told off for having lied the british having lied to the british people, claiming rid of people, claiming he'd got rid of the but actually he the backlog, but actually he hasn't. ask you about that >> so let me ask you about that then. so these peo

about ulez and destroying ulez cameras, but actually , i mean, i remember actually, i mean, i rememberse i'm a lot older than you , um, that that it older than you, um, that that it was about lead in petrol and lead in petrol was actually killing children. and they that's why they got rid of it. and i think now now that that we needit and i think now now that that we need it and what great ormond street are saying and, and this is all came about because of ella adoo—kissi—debrah who died when she was nine and the coroner said it's because of it was because of air pollution, because she had asthma. and her mum said that had she known it was a bad place to live, they would have moved . and so it's would have moved. and so it's actually giving information to people to say , you've got a sick people to say, you've got a sick child and, and you need to move and is this just great ormond street hospital or or doctors? >> well, no, this is great ormond street hospital saying we need to think about this and what we should do is actually going back to technology. >> information out there. >> th

so revoking things such as ulez.breakout and the speech hasn't even breakout and the speech hasn't evestrange. didn't realise >> strange. i didn't realise that london had own foreign that london had its own foreign policy, seems that that's policy, but it seems that that's what the mayor has been engaging with, to with, i suppose each to their own. cook, thank you so own. millie cook, thank you so much for bringing that news much for bringing us that news there. i think that's about one big trip month, big international trip a month, which , uh, must nice. which, uh, must be nice. >> a of miles as well. when >> a lot of miles as well. when we come back, our panel is going to talking through some of to be talking us through some of the hitting the the stories hitting the headunes the stories hitting the headlines today. first of all, though, let's bring bang though, let's bring you bang up to headlines . to date with the headlines. here's ray addison . here's ray addison. >> thanks, pip. and tom, it's 132. our top sto

ulez. >> it's only a mere £8 a day to drive in birmingham.t is in london. but a staggering , um, london. but a staggering, um, piece of data that came to light here. howard, the council in birmingham has lost 2500 car parking spaces every year since 2012. this is a long terme downward trend , and you can only downward trend, and you can only conclude that they simply want cars off the road . but what are cars off the road. but what are people meant to do to get about? >> well, this is the point . it >> well, this is the point. it is. this is the whole country is doing it and the government are not stopping these local authorities doing it, particularly as you well know, in london, we're seeing at in london, what we're seeing at the the driver is the moment is the driver is being if you've 95% being picked on. if you've 95% of drivers, 37 million of us driver , diesel or petrol vehicle driver, diesel or petrol vehicle , and i'm afraid it's not going to change. the electric vehicle is not going to take over from it. but you know, you know, one

. >> now we know what all the money from ulez has gone to is blimming extravagant fireworks display.f may. >> they are promoting himself. >> vote and that's all >> vote for me. and that's all that all it was was disgraceful. and what really annoyed me about thatis and what really annoyed me about that is the very time he was that is at the very time he was boasting is boasting about how london is diverse inclusive and diverse and inclusive and everyone's to be what they everyone's free to be what they want they want, want and who they want, especially they're carrying especially if they're carrying a knife because that poor little knife. because that poor little liar i know. 16 life on primrose hill. as mayor khan was hill. just as mayor khan was coming all that coming out with all that claptrap, to honest you. claptrap, to be honest with you. and 23rd child. well and he was the 23rd child. well it's teenager murdered in london 18 by knife crime. i know . gone 18 by knife crime. i know. gone up so much under mayor khan . i up so much under mayor khan. i mean, i just and have we heard

. >> ulez though charlie , those >> ulez though charlie, those alternative methods of work don't exist in that area. they didn't exist in the coal belts when maggie thatcher finally wound the pits down across the country , there was nothing for country, there was nothing for those people. so that's my point. my point is, if we can state subsidies and industry with key strategic national importance, it's not like making fridges. making steel is the backbone of building in britain. and we're importing that from countries where they burn coking coal. anyway, the pollution is simply offshored and we're offshoring our guilt by moving this overseas. but we're devastating british jobs. therefore, we could some money in from the state to make sure we stay sovereign and we keep those jobs flowing . we those jobs flowing. we >> well, i think you make a very powerful case. and it may be that actually , you know, people that actually, you know, people who might be losing their jobs who might be losing theirjobs in the steel sector, as i say, could be retrained and redeployed to for, uh, you know,
