but the ultra low emission zone, and antipollution policy introduced by sadiq khan, the labour mayor of london, which is to charge vehicles that are noncompliant in terms of pollution for driving in outer london, that is being used by the conservatives as a very local factor to try to increase their support. this is classic metro land, a haven in outer london that grew up with the expansion of the metropolitan railway, in the first half of the last century. photos here generally like a quiet life and they generally tend to vote conservative. that quiet life is about to be disrupted by a by—election in which labour will want to show they are on the march and the tories will want to show they are still in business —— voters here. a busy campaign, the labour candidate, danny beals, who pulled out of a newsnight interview, leaving it to a big hitter to

11:17 pm
people who came to the uk as part of the windrush generation were sent back to the caribbean 7 in what the government has admitted was a case of “historic injustice“. legal experts have told the bbc that the practice of sending patients back to their countries of birth during the 19505, 60s and 70s may have been unlawful. families are now demanding an investigation as our correspondent navtej johal reports. i never had a father. i never had a father figure in my life. i couldn't say the word love. it's taken me years, years to really use that word. the trauma of what happened to these women as children has never left them. nearly 60 years on, this is the first time they've spoken about it publicly. i did feel, and i still do, we was abandoned.
11:18 pm
we were left. in 1966, 12 years after he arrived in britain from the caribbean island of st kitts, june“s father, joseph armatrading, was repatriated after being hospitalised due to a mental illness. his wife and five daughters never saw him again. really sad because... oh, sorry. but it's only in the course of our researching this story that june has learned the truth about what happened to him, including that he wanted to return to his family and that mistakes were made in his case by the uk government. how dare they? this was a vulnerable man. you're supposed to look after your vulnerable people. and they didn't, theyjust left him. they abandoned him. marcia“s mother, another member of the windrush generation, was also sent back from britain on mental health grounds around the same time. it meant marcia was taken into care
11:19 pm
and didn't see her again for nearly 20 years. her being sent back to jamaica in that institution, where we don't know what was going on, that robbed me of a mother. these cases weren't the only ones of their kind. using documents stored in the national archives, for the first time we can show the extent of how many of the windrush generation were repatriated in the 19505, “605 and “705. our findings show more than 400 chronically sick and mentally ill patients were sent back to the caribbean. and evidence suggests it wasn't always for their benefit. government documents from the 19605 show that people like june and marcia“5 parents should only have been repatriated if they wanted to return, if their doctor felt it would benefit their health, and if there were re5ource5 there to look after them. but this letterfrom the jamaican high commission says hospital authorities were trying
11:20 pm
to send patients back largely due to pressure on bed5, giving the impression that this was being done regardless of whether adequate treatment was available. lawyerjacqueline mckenzie has represented hundreds of victims of the windrush scandal. she and other legal experts we've spoken to questioned the legality of the practice. i think this is worse than the windrush scandal, insofar as... well, it's part of the windrush scandal, but it's the most egregious element of it. the state now owe5 it to the descendants of people who were affected to provide them with answers and some sort of redress. in a statement, a government spokesperson said it recognised the campaigning of families seeking to address the historic injustice faced by their loved ones and were committed to righting the wrongs faced by those in the windrush generation. the law has changed since the time of these cases.
11:21 pm
now an independent tribunal has to agree that any repatriation would be in the best interests of the patient. meanwhile, june and marcia“5 search for answers continues. navtejjohal, bbc news. we move to the us now, where the indian prime minister has begun a three—day vi5it. mr modi has led the international yoga day celebrations in new york ahead of his meetings with president biden, in washington dc. he's also due to give a speech to the us congress and will be given a state dinner. mr modi“s trip is important for both countries, as the two presidents will try to build their political and economic relations. authorities in china have fired back at us presidentjoe biden, after he called chinese president xi jinping a “dictator“. mr biden“s comments came during a fundraising event in california. more importantly, they camejust a day after the us secretary of state met with mr xi, in a bid to smooth over
11:22 pm
ruffled relations. here's our correspondent stephen mcdonnel in beijing. now can this be fixed? sure, of course a can. they can still go ahead and have a meeting later in the year probably 0ctober were the leaders of these two world superpowers can sit down with one another possibly in california in october, by then people will have forgotten about this although it will be mentioned in some reports as background, i guess. so they really just have to try and write this out. if they do want to start —— stop this relationship from collapsing any further. but you would love to be a fly on the wall but antony blinken got the news thatjoe biden said this. surely, he would have been tearing his hair out. he“s gone to all of this trouble and come here to all of this trouble and come here to patch things up and just a day
11:23 pm
later we have this fresh crisis with beijing and washington slinging mud at one another. thousands of music fans have been arriving at glastonbury for this year's festival. arctic monkeys, guns n“ roses and sir eltonjohn are among the headline acts. the music itself doesn't start on the main stages until friday but that doesn't stop the fans pitching their tents a couple of days early — as our entertainment correspondent colin paterson reports. cheering welcome to glastonbury! the moments glastonbury opened its doors. three, two, one! cheering festival boss emily eavis doing the duties. welcome, this way. and optimistic friday“s headliners arctic monkeys will play, despite laryngitis causing last night's dublin show to be called off. they cancelled that, he is recovering. i'm sure we're going to be all right. we've got a couple of back—up plans if not but i reckon...
11:24 pm
oh, really? not telling you anything, colin. could... we always have back—up plans for everything. could the churnups, whoever they are, step up to headline if he doesn't? i wouldn't like to say. there needs to be a surprise. the glastonbury founder michael eavis stayed in his land this year the capacity has been increased to a total of 210,000, including this eltonjohn fan who“d come a long, long way. i came all the way from korea just for glastonbury. festivalgoers were using all kinds of techniques to bring in their belongings. you would think it was my first rodeo! it's a lot of stuff. some very dubious washing methods were being discussed. you have arrived at glastonbury with two buckets, can you explain? one is to wash my body and one is to wash my face. so i've got lots of flannels. and only at glastonbury can you have a misunderstanding like this. the rollers, explain. i know. it's not great. so we were walking then it all snapped and now we've
11:25 pm
literally had to drag it the whole way, it's a nightmare. and the rollers? what rollers? oh, my rollers! i thought you meant the rollers, the wheels of the thing. ijust got a curly blow this morning. the music doesn't even start on the main stages for another two days. bye from glastonbury! you have been watching newsday. just before we go a reminder of our main story coastguard are in testifying their search for the submersible near the wreck of the titanic near the north atlantic. as estimates suggest that five men on board could run out of oxygen in less than 20 hours. the us coast guard has confirmed that more tapping noises have been found. that is all we have for you. bye for now. hello. wednesday brought plenty of summer warmth and sunshine. but there were some showers, too, not least in the north of scotland. take a look at what happened in wick.
11:26 pm
these thunderstorms really lined up and delivered 58 millimetres of rain. that is more rain than wick would normally expect to see in the whole of a typical june now for thursday. high pressure is going to be building its way in across the uk. you might think that that would mean completely dry weather. well, actually, in spite of that building area of high pressure, there will still be some scattered showers, but this time mostly across england and wales. and in between the showers, some very warm sunshine. many places will spend the day dry and certainly most will start the day dry. there“ll be some early mist which will clear away some spells of sunshine, but we will see showers developing, particularly across england and wales. and with light winds, those showers are likely to be quite slow moving, not as many showers for northern ireland and the bulk of scotland will stay completely dry. temperatures north to south, 15 to maybe 28 degrees celsius. and then through thursday night, while we'll see increasing humidity, more cloud and some rain splashing its way and particularly
11:27 pm
to northern ireland, perhaps western parts of scotland as well by the end of the night. those higher temperatures, ten to 15 degrees, an increasingly muggy feel, which certainly will continue to be the case into friday. more cloud across the north and the west of the uk with some outbreaks of rain even down towards the southeast, a bit more cloud in the mix. still some spells of sunshine, but with that extra cloud, temperatures a little bit lower, 20 to 25 degrees, a very warm and muggy nights on friday nights. and on saturday, we will start the day with a fair amount of cloud, perhaps some mist and murk here and there, some spots of drizzle. things should brighten up as the day wears on some spells of sunshine. and if you get enough sunshine, it will feel very warm indeed, perhaps up to 28 or 29 degrees in the south east, but glasgow, belfast, still up to 24. that wedge, a very warm and humid air. but between these weather fronts here. but as this cold front swings its way eastwards as we get into sunday, well, that
11:28 pm
will change things. the timing is a little bit uncertain, but it looks like that cold front will bring some quite heavy and perhaps thundery rain eastwards across the uk. so that wet weather sweeping its way eastwards and with it some cooler, fresher conditions.
