well, this landmarkjudgment today is good news for london, because it means we can make progress from the end of next month. the decision to expand ulez was a difficult one, not one i took lightly, but it is essential, because in our great city, over 4,000 people die prematurely linked with air quality. there are children who have stunted lungs forever and adults with a host of health issues, cancer, dementia, heart disease, and i have been listening through this process, and i will carry on listening, from next week we will be expanding further the support we give to londoners, although it is the case, the high court confirmed, that nine out of ten cars in london are compliant, they will not pay a penny more but they will see the benefits of cleaner air, almosti million families will be eligible for financial support, every single small business will be

eligible for support, and every charity is eligible for more support from next week. rosamund adoo—kissi—debrah is a world health organization advocate for health and air quality and founder of the ella roberta family foundation, based in london. she became a clean air advocate, after her nine—year—old daughter, ella, died in 2013 from a rare and severe form of asthma. she welcomed the ruling. what the coroner said is there were illegal levels of air pollution everywhere, and if it wasn't for the illegal levels of air pollution, ella wouldn't have got asthma, nor would she have died on that fatal night. but please can we still remember that 8—12 children die every year, just in london alone? and 250,000 children in london now have asthma, and we also have long covid as well.

so this is really, really a health issue, not an environment issue. a police force which returned a shotgun certificate to a man, just weeks before he committed one of the uk's worst mass shootings, still needs to make improvements, according to the police watchdog. 22—year—old jake davison shot and killed four people in plymouth, in august 2021. the police watchdog says that, since then, devon and cornwall police has significantly improved firearms licensing practices, but still needs to tackle a backlog in processing applications. the owners of a hotel in south wales destined to house asylum—seekers have secured a temporary high court injunction against protestors. in regular demonstrations, people have chained themselves to the ground and dumped large rocks outside the stradey park hotel in carmarthenshire. despite now being barred from the site, campaigners have vowed to continue their fight

against the plans. more now on england's win against denmark at the women's world cup. the lionesses got an early goal and held on to their one—nil lead until the end of the game. the win puts them at the top of their group, with one just one game to go until the knockout stage. 0ur reporter emily brown took in the atmosphere at boxpark in wembley, and caught up with some fans after the match. lots of support here for the lioness is today. the earlier star did not but of any england fans who came here where they sold over 300 tickets for people to come and watch the live screening of the event and what a result for england. the win put a smile and many young peoples faces. young people who come from across the country here today to cheer on their team and we can speak to some of them now. some young people who are really into football and theyjoin me now. we have phoebe

from day one, she was just my rock. rebecca's dog, poppy, died after it was hit by a car last december. amazing dog. loyal, loved other people over dogs. —— other people, other dogs... she was a rock for me when sleeping in a tent. so just great to be around, really. poppy had been her therapy dog while she was homeless. when i lost her, it was a very big shock. stayed in my room. couldn“t even talk about it at the time. but help came from an unlikely source. three brothers from sidmouth. dan. casey. buddy. when our dad came to us and said, like, about a lady losing her dog, and then we found and then told us that she lives in a hostel and that like she can't afford to get a new one, we asked dad if we could, like, save up to buy her one. and £450 of busked money later, the boys had enough

to buy her a new dog. thank you. this is rebecca's new dog, rainbow. and how did it make you feel seeing her react to receiving the dog? great. because, like, that i meant so much to her, and she found it so hard to, like, live without her dog. l like, she really needed another one. glad that she had another dog. glad that she had someone to hug and be with. very proud of them. it's always nice to see your children giving back. everyone's been so giving to them for the couple of years they've been busking. it's nice to acknowledge that people are giving to them. they can give back as well. and it's a nice achievement for them as well. what was your reaction when you when you saw rainbow for the first time? when i saw the kids at the door, i was like, what are they doing here? and then i spotted them

holding the little puppy. and ijust knew then, it was just... i broke down in tears straightaway. so, yeah, it“sjust overwhelming. incredible. absolutely amazing children. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz. hello. for some of us, it's been quite a showery day. let's see how the rest of the day is looking, and as we head into the evening hours, a little change, sunny spells and scattered showers. the weekend, on the other hand, is looking quite unsettled. let's have a look at the satellite picture, and you can see a low pressure there spinning around just to the north—west of our neighbourhood. that is going to be driving our weather through this evening into tomorrow as well. so it's just to the west here, but already ahead of it, one oi’ two showers. the temperatures at the end of the afternoon, pretty much the average for the time of the year, in the range of around, say, 19 to 22 degrees celsius for most of us. this evening and overnight, that low pressure slowly closes in on us.

ahead of it, you can see showers become a little bit more widespread for a time. in fact, they could be quite heavy early hours of the morning. it's not going to be a cold night by any means. temperatures will be, in most towns and cities, around 13—15 degrees celsius. so the weekend, then. if you cast your mind back to last saturday, for some of us, it was a total wash—out. this saturday is not looking so bad. yes, low pressure is close by. there“ll be plenty of showers around and a blustery wind, but the rain won't be persistent, and in fact we“re expecting quite a few sunny spells. so here is saturday. i think the clouds will be fast moving, pushed along by that strong west, south—westerly breeze. temperatures will be around 18—21 degrees celsius. and as far as the ashes are concerned, well, they're scheduled until monday, i think showers are possible almost at any time, and quite brisk winds as well, with temperatures of 20 degrees celsius.

now on sunday, another low pressure heads our way with its weather front. here's the jet stream, it“s pointing right at us. and thatjet stream is not going to change, really, for the foreseeable future, so we'll keep getting these weather fronts, these low pressures. and the forecast temperatures, well, actually in sunnier scotland, it could nudge up to 20 degrees celsius, about the same for the south, but it will be more cloudy with outbreaks of rain. and talking about rainfall, so far thisjuly has been wet. take a look at parts of western britain, here we've had about 179% of the rain normally we have this time of the year. bye— bye.

live from london. this is bbc news. the high court rules an expansion of the london“s ultra low emission zone — which is aimed at reducing air pollution — can go ahead. fears of another flare—up at the israel—lebanon border after a growing number of incidents. and at the women's world cup, a crucial win

for england over denmark. hello. a warm welcome to bbc news now — three hours of fast—moving news, interviews and reaction. we start in london, where the high court has ruled that a major plan which aims to reduce air pollution in the capital can go ahead. the plan is to expand the city's ultra low emissions zone, known as the ulez. it currently covers the central area — shown in pink — on this map. drivers of the most polluting vehicles in the zone — are charged 12.50 a day. london“s labour mayor — sadiq khan — wants to extend the boundary of the zone to cover the whole

of greater london. five conservative—led councils tried to have the expansion
