caused by it outages. we had one a few weeks ago with the national ee gate system falling over. we've now had this one. one or two events here in the uk not quite on this scale, but the technology was designed over 20 years ago where this technology was placed and designed in the early to thousands. in a different era, there were fewer flights, over 20 years ago, technology has moved on, and we are now seeing over 6000 flights a day coming into or out of the uk. so the technology needs upgrading. anything consumers have a right when they experience such an outage that we'd seen in the last 2a hours to know what investment is going into this critical aviation infrastructure in the uk so that it doesn't happen again. i infrastructure in the uk so that it doesn't happen again.— infrastructure in the uk so that it doesn't happen again. i was speaking there to paul— doesn't happen again. i was speaking there to paul charles. _ doesn't happen again. i was speaking there to paul charles. the _ doesn't happen again. i was speaking there to paul charles. the ultralow i there to paul charles. the ultralow low emission zone has been expanded,
5:37 pm
owners of the most polluting vehicles have to pay £12 50 a day if they drive in the area. london now has the world's largest ultra low emission zone, but other countries have their own zones and they vary by vehicle type and emissions. the measure is still highly controversial. some londoners say they did not get an enough time or support to change their vehicles. these were some of the first cars to enter the new expanded ultra low emission zone. from midnight older and more polluting vehicles passing these signs need to pay a daily charge of £12.50. the mayor's office says it is all about improving the air quality of the capital, preventing deaths like that of ella adoo—kissi—debrah. in 2013 she died following an asthma attack. she was the first person in the uk to have air pollution listed as a cause of death. it is a disgrace that in 2023 we still have the worst asthma deaths in europe.
5:38 pm
it is unacceptable and boys especially between the ages of 13 and 15 appear to be the most vulnerable. enfield in north london is one of the areas now in the zone. we have had to change both our cars but if it is going to help the environment then i think that is a good thing. we have still got the old model of car so it is not ulez compliant, that's going to be £12.50 every day but i'm going to have to make a lot of changes and start walking. i take my son to school, i got to visit my elderly mum. i it doesn't sound a lot but it is. when you have to pay every day. this is where the ultra low emission zone used to start, the south circular. but from today it goes miles that way and any cars driving on these roads that isn't compliant have to pay the charge. it has faced opposition, with some conservative councils refusing to put up signs. if you look at the mayor's
5:39 pm
own impact assessment it will have a minor to no effect on air quality so it is very clear despite what the mayor says this isn't about improving air quality in greater london, it is about raising money from londoners for him. this is about helping ourair be cleaner. in a couple of years' time tfl have predicted there will be no additional money made because of the number of noncompliant vehicles, but every penny made is used to reinvest in public transport. the details around the scheme are hotly disputed, from the impact on air quality to the numbers of cars affected. whatever the arguments, london's expanded ultra low emission zone is now here and the cameras are in action. joe inwood, bbc news. let's speak now to james watkins, he's the head of policy and public impact at the london chamber of commerce and industry.
5:40 pm
thank you very much forjoining us on the programme. how do businesses feel about this expansion? what are you hearing from them?— you hearing from them? thank you, nan . i you hearing from them? thank you, many ithink— you hearing from them? thank you, nancy. i think businesses _ you hearing from them? thank you, nancy. i think businesses have - you hearing from them? thank you, | nancy. i think businesses have been very concerned about the impact of the bottom line. they wanted to have reassurance from the london mayor that they will be supported as we are living through a cost—of—living crisis. we were delighted just two and half weeks ago that the mayor announced a major vehicle scrap scheme which will help small businesses, the small businesses will now get money for up to three vehicles so that they can either be retrofitted or replaced. and that is clearly massive good news. the businesses i speak to say they care about the need for better air quality. we don't want another tragedy that we've just heard in the item before. we need progress. we
5:41 pm
also need to ensure that businesses were not hammered. the mayor has lessened and while the progress has been made in london for businesses in london, they still need help, and thatis in london, they still need help, and that is a major concern. the that is a ma'or concern. the scrappage — that is a major concern. the scrappage scheme - that is a major concern. the scrappage scheme being expended to londoners is a big help. are there other concerns that remain for businesses, as you mentioned, some just outside london may have different challenges. absolutely. in businesses whether _ different challenges. absolutely. in businesses whether it _ different challenges. absolutely. in businesses whether it is _ different challenges. absolutely. in businesses whether it is woking, i businesses whether it is woking, slough, elsewhere, they may go in and out of outer london and they will be hit. the vehicle scrappage scheme, which is a significant improvement in particular, notjust small businesses and charity but all londoners, doesn't apply to people who live just across the border in the home counties. so that is a major concern and we are working with our colleagues in the chambers of commerce across the southeast of
5:42 pm

5:43 pm
happen. we also need specific electric vehicle charging planes for each jvs and commercial vehicles which is different than for cars. many of us rely on just—in—time deliveries. these vehicles, if we are going to meet net zero, or by the mayor's target means we need a massive upgrade of the eb charging infrastructure, and frankly we are not there yet. infrastructure, and frankly we are not there yet-— infrastructure, and frankly we are not there yet. james watkins from the london — not there yet. james watkins from the london chamber— not there yet. james watkins from the london chamber of— not there yet. james watkins from the london chamber of commerce j not there yet. james watkins from - the london chamber of commerce and industry. thank you very much for your time today. james watkins talking to us about those latest updates to the ulez zonein those latest updates to the ulez zone in london. a critical report into a mental health trust which lost track of patient deaths was edited to remove blame from its leadership. injune, auditors grant thornton revealed how the norfolk and suffolk foundation trust had failed to record thousands of deaths properly.
5:44 pm
but bbc newsnight has found multiple references of "poor", "weak" and "inadequate" governance were removed before publication. the trust and auditors say it was part of a fact checking exercise. at a time when demand for mental health services is at an all—time high, one nhs trust stands accused of being too focused on managing its reputation. we came here when we heard the news that tim had died. caroline aldridge's son tim died while he was waiting for mental health help. i'm just sat there and tried to think, "how will life ever be the same again?" bereaved relatives like caroline believe more than 1,000 patients of the norfolk and suffolk mental health trust died avoidable deaths.
5:45 pm
the figure was disputed by the trust. so local nhs bosses brought in auditors grant thornton, who produced a highly critical report. but the bbc can reveal before publication it was radically changed, reducing blame on executives. 15 mentions of poor, inadequate or weak governance were removed. the published version said... references to a lack of transparency and a culture of fear were also taken out. i think it's despicable. i think it's a real betrayal of their bereaved relatives, of their service users, their carers, their staff. we've seen year after year poor governance and this sort of cover up culture where nobody accepts any responsibility for their actions. hi, rob. nice to meet you. the trust says its standard practice to check the factual

5:47 pm
the trust said it provided further information to ensure the report was evidence—based and it had been open and honest. i'm truly sorry to the family and friends to all of those family and friends. the trust's executives have apologised for ignoring bereaved relatives who said they'd lost count of patient deaths. but those like caroline feel until there's accountability at the top, the scale of the mental health crisis will never be known. nikki fox, bbc east. we speak to a care and mental health campaigner in ipswich. thank you so much forjoining us. tell us about your experience at your local health trust. 50 your experience at your local health trust. �* , your experience at your local health trust, �* , ., your experience at your local health trust. �* , ., , . trust. so i've been involved since 2013. trust. so i've been involved since 2013- we — trust. so i've been involved since 2013. i've had _ trust. so i've been involved since 2013. i've had to _ trust. so i've been involved since 2013. i've had to close _ trust. so i've been involved since 2013. i've had to close family - 2013. i've had to close family members who have required mental

support those bereaved relatives. we know that norfolk and suffolk nhs foundation trust is not able to do that because they are not even able to know which of their patients have died or even how they died. and so many of the bereaved relatives who are in contact with myself and to my co—author of the report have told us that, actually, they feel let down, they feel betrayed. but actually they feel betrayed. but actually they feel betrayed. but actually they feel that the life of their loved ones that didn't matter to the nhs. irate loved ones that didn't matter to the nhs. ~ ., ., nhs. we will leave it there and thank you _ nhs. we will leave it there and thank you very _ nhs. we will leave it there and thank you very much _ nhs. we will leave it there and thank you very much for - nhs. we will leave it there and thank you very much forjoining nhs. we will leave it there and i thank you very much forjoining us as a carrier campaigner and mental health campaigner in ipswich. viewers in the east of england can get more on this story on bbc look east at 6.30 today on bbc one, and nationwide on newsnight at 10.30 on bbc two. a bbc investigation has found that a critical report on a mental health the government says more than

5:56 pm
the weekend is looking promising with high pressure building. now, this weather front won't reach us until thursday, we're ahead of it, so i think there'll be big gaps in the clouds. so with low pressure fairly close to scotland tuesday night and into wednesday, that does mean a few showers and further showers are expected to develop on wednesday. so here's the forecast then. through the night, lengthy clear spells, some showers there across eastern parts of scotland, one or two elsewhere, and quite fresh in the countryside early in the morning on wednesday, perhaps 5 celsius. but in most towns and cities, it'll be in the range of, say, 8—12 celsius. so lots of sunshine to start the day. a weather front is approaching, but it's still way to the west of ireland. for most of us, it's a case of clouds bubbling up through the course of the morning, into the afternoon, as they often do, and, again, those well—scattered showers anywhere from scotland through parts of northern england, towards east anglia. modest temperatures, 18 celsius to about 20 celsius expected in london. so that was wednesday, this is thursday.
5:57 pm
that low pressure only slowly approaching us. and this weather front, at least in the morning, will bring some persistent rain — potentially heavy for a time — to south western parts of england. so this is early on thursday, also affecting wales and then moving to central southern england. it mayjust about clip the midlands too and some rain for a time possible in northern ireland. but late in the day, we think that rain will basically push away towards the southeast of england and then eventually to the near continent. but look at that hull, newcastle, aberdeen on thursday looking mostly sunny. that takes us into friday, and as we head towards the weekend, look at this — an area of high pressure builds south of this jet stream. the jet stream pushes the weather systems way to the north there towards iceland and greenland. and this here is fine settled weather. so with high pressure building this weekend, we are expecting mostly dry, bright, even sunny weather across the uk. look at that, edinburgh and belfast. and temperatures comfortably widely reaching 20 celsius. bye— bye.
