under the new rules and the change in the rules, the bbc has moved a long way towards this and for the first time from the bbc is nothing explicitly that the tarp programme presenters warehouse with names across the country are now able to express their personal views and social media about topics that they feel strongly about and presumably topics they do not feel strongly about as well. he you feel strongly about as well. he you feel strongly about immigration, he is an insult people and he can see precisely what he feels about the governments immigration policy.— he feels about the governments immigration policy. effort people exress immigration policy. effort people ex - ress a immigration policy. effort people express a very — immigration policy. effort people express a very different - immigration policy. effort people express a very different views . immigration policy. effort people | express a very different views and you probably would not of been able to do so— you probably would not of been able to do so because under the rules, he might've _ to do so because under the rules, he might've seen as maligning the character— might've seen as maligning the character of a politician.- might've seen as maligning the character of a politician. many were unha-- character of a politician. many were unhappy with _ character of a politician. many were

over half of the uk's transport emissions come from cars. so to help meet climate targets, the government had banned the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030, although that's now been pushed back to 2035. even with a few extra years added, this is still a huge change. the car owners and car makers, some manufacturers embraced electric early, but bentley wasn't one of them. so how are things going now? and it's true hq. luxury leather interiors and all the wooden dashboard and trim taken from the exact same tree to make sure it matches. it takes around 130 hours

to craft one of these cars. although bentleys are generally bought for their owner to drive themselves around for anyone who's got a chauffeur, well, this one has also got screens in the back. and when you think bentley, well, you're probably more likely to think about this kind of finery than you are where the nearest electric charger is. well, that and the price tag. bentley starts at 169,000 for the most basic. so is it worth it? there's nothing that gives you 207 miles an hour and that kind of a rival presence. when you pull up outside the best hotel, you get the best parking place. no posh hotel. i'm at the bentley factory to meet my tour guide for the day. hello. lovely to meet you, too. thank you. 0n the right hand side, you've got our suv line. so this consists of 44 process stations along the way.

we're being underneath the car. i'm not a mechanic. i'm not used to saying it like that. it's only two and a half tonnes. this production line alone produces 140 cars a week after each vehicle spends 13 minutes in each bay undergoing over 70 different production processes. there are 64 basic colours to choose from, and if for any reason you don't like any of them, well, you can have one custom made. and rumour has it that a lady once came in asking for a car to be made the same colour as her nail varnish. and now for the whole section dedicated to the leather interior, all the colours, but also smell. it really smells of leather in here. it's beautiful, isn't it? and is there some sort of sustainability element to this? so all of our hides that we have here, these are byproducts of the meat industry. so this is where we bring

the hide over here. we lay it down on this bed. we've got a camera system that scans it. we then automatically map out the most effective way for all the panels to fit on that, and then it cuts them all out perfectly. and there's the sewing room, rows of giant sewing machines, creating more options than most of us could probably even think up. mesmerising to watch. you can even have your name embroidered on the seat he wanted. we talk so much on this program about automation, but what's really struck me here today is how many of the processes are still hand—crafted. except there's one key part of the car that's about to leap into the 21st century. bentley is planning to replace its famed 12 cylinder engine with an electric motor across its range by 2030. it's investing two and one half billion pound to achieve it. but is it ready? we're extremely ready.
