gbnews.com . gbnews.com. >> good morning from bromley in kent which today becomes one of the many boroughs, all london boroughs in fact, 32 of them now, which will be included in the ulez scheme, designed designed to improve air quality . but of course it's extremely controversial and motorists in particular who own cars which do not comply with the emissions level, are furious. let's talk now. i believe he's in the studio there with you, howard cox, who wishes to be london mayor for the reform party in london. good morning, howard. it feels like this day has been a long time in the making. what is motivating king sadiq khan to include , i believe it's about include, i believe it's about 3.5 million more people within the ulez charging scheme . the ulez charging scheme. >> hi, bev. basic what's motivating him is the amount of money he can take out of these people. >> it's as simple as that.

there's no reason for doing it to improve air quality. he's very his own. tfl and even recently the imperial college, which they tried to, he's deputy mayor, tried to manipulate the results. be no results. there will be no demonstrable or benefit demonstrable increase or benefit to quality by moving the to air quality by moving the ulez all the way up to the m25. it's a complete sham. it's a con from a very dishonest mayor >> he would of course say that it is time . um and there are it is time. um and there are global influences which are very much pushing this agenda and it isfime much pushing this agenda and it is time for us to accept that the car is no longer a luxury that we can afford from a planetary environmental point of view. particular older diesel and petrol cars. what would you say to that? howard well, try telling 37 million voters who own cars and some of them two cars, three cars and there's trucks and vans . trucks and vans. >> this is an essential part of our life. it's a it's the very fabnc our life. it's a it's the very fabric of our commercial and the heartbeat of our economy. it's madness what's happening, what we need to do is incentivise people to move to cleaner fuel

technology. we shouldn't need to actually hit people in the pocket. and that's what this this dishonest man keep this dishonest man i keep saying, dishonest. there's so much dishonesty around it. it's reeking in hall in reeking of it. in city hall in london. the fact is people want to . it's part the most to drive. it's part of the most important part of our lives. it's of our lives , it's the freedom of our lives, the scrappage scheme , of course, the scrappage scheme, of course, is designed to help people whose vehicles don't comply . vehicles don't comply. >> correct me if i'm wrong, is it diesel cars that have been made after 2016, but petrol cars after 2006 that don't comply before sorry, 2006? is that right ? right? >> yes, that is right, indeed. but that scrappage scheme doesn't touch the sides and the irony of it, this £2,000 for a car for a non—compliant car, most of those non—compliant cars are being sold to go outside of london where they can pollute out there. it seems that's okay. that's an incredible irony in this . and the £2,000, you know, this. and the £2,000, you know, we're looking at now that compliant cars, diesel and

petrol compliant cars they're increasing in value that £2,000 doesn't wash . it really doesn't. doesn't wash. it really doesn't. >> when you talk to people who have got cars that they're having to sell and we will be talking to some of them here in bromley this morning. there was an interesting angle to this story, howard, that i read in the paper yesterday that i believe you partly behind. believe you were partly behind. and scaffolder that and this was the scaffolder that took tfl to court. if i if i remembered correctly, because he's run up about £11,000 of fine and the court concluded that he doesn't have to pay that money just explain why. >> well noel wilcox, he runs a scaffolding company in north—west london, and he approached me and i was very honoured that he did do that. and i managed to get into the and i managed to get it into the sun exclusive. and what he sun as an exclusive. and what he did challenge. the fact did was a challenge. the fact that the signs themselves do not tell you when you go into london, the greater london you see emission see the word lez low emission zone or ultra low emission zone. you see any thing below you do not see any thing below that says you have to pay if

you're . and that's you're non—compliant. and that's the point. but by doing that, in fact, i can tell you a little anecdote. there's a person who who's a good friend mine, who's a good friend of mine, america over here and america came over here and actually a car. and was actually hired a car. and it was actually hired a car. and it was actually ironically non—compliant. they hit non—compliant. and they were hit with it was sent to with a big fine. it was sent to them over there when they entered the centre of london. but thought they but they thought they were coming air zone. coming into a clean air zone. and spoke to her husband, and she spoke to her husband, who passenger seat. who was in the passenger seat. and she said he said, oh, and he and she said he said, oh, isn't we're going to isn't this great? we're going to a where it's very clean a place where it's very clean air. they didn't know they were paying air. they didn't know they were paying privilege. paying for the privilege. >> how does that need to >> so how how does that need to be addressed ? but presumably, be addressed? but presumably, there's huge cost in tfl changing all of the signage to make it obvious that there is a charge being incurred in order to clean up the air. >> absolutely right, bev. that's what it's got to do. all of the signs have to be replaced completely and they've got to have a big c on it. the congestion charge have that congestion charge does have that and that. if you and that's accepted that. if you see that you're to see that sign, you're going to have to something. but there have to pay something. but there is nothing for you. no clarification whatsoever. and

they're opening up all over the place, outside people's place, even outside people's driveways, they just move driveways, when they just move out of their driveway, they've got out of their driveway, they've 9°t pay out of their driveway, they've got pay £12, 50. got to pay £12, 50. >> howard of course , sadiq khan >> howard of course, sadiq khan would argue fiercely, and he's been doing it all over the media for the last few weeks that the point of this is a long term project to save british lives from , um, pollution . from, um, pollution. >> yeah, we hear this all the time. sadiq khan actually thrives on emotion, not fact . thrives on emotion, not fact. and i repeat what i said just now. imperial college is saying that ulez will have no demonstrable impact on the air quality we breathe. tfl tfl already told them last time that and i did a cbi centre of economic and business research analytical report which actually reported that the cost of a ulez is approaching £1 billion £800 million is what it's going to cost to the economy. in other words, you reduce london's gdp by nearly £1 billion every year. where is he coming from? all he

needs to do is work with drivers, work with people to try and get clean fuel technology put in place. and there's loads of around. and it's here of that around. and it's here for to take and introduce. for us to take and introduce. now he won't do that because he's a he's hell bent on zero in the 2030 ban . the 2030 ban. >> where do you where do you sit though, in terms of public transport and the measures which should go along ? any ultra low should go along? any ultra low emission zone or any low emission zone? surely there needs to be decent public transport options for people alongside died? >> absolutely right. i couldn't agree more. we must do that. but we've got a public transport system that he's actually increased. i think fares by 6. so not is he finding and hitting people in the pocket who drive a car. he's also hitting people who need public transport. and let's forget, one the let's not forget, one of the things he ignores is that how much the much pollution is in the underground. we're looking at 1,800% particulate matter 1,800% more particulate matter in the underground. so he's forcing people to actually endure poor health, poor air

quality whilst taking money from streets above, which are good air quality . it makes no sense. air quality. it makes no sense. bev yeah , okay. bev yeah, okay. >> howard cox from reform , thank >> howard cox from reform, thank you for talking to us this morning . if you are just tuning morning. if you are just tuning in, andrew pierce is in the studio as always today. and i'm down here in bromley in kent on one of the main high streets of dartford is actually the high street. meteorologist street. i've got a meteorologist here, be very here, face you'll be very familiar with jim dale is with us. jim listening the us. jim you're listening to the conversation. you conversation. obviously, you couldn't hear what howard was saying couldn't hear what howard was say i'm couldn't hear what howard was sayi'm aware what couldn't hear what howard was say i'm aware what what couldn't hear what howard was sayi'm aware what what he's about. >> but you know how how it feels about this and how who about this and how people who are pro car feel feel about this . like to give us . would you like to give us the other side as to why we to other side as to why we need to take measures? take these measures? >> first all, this is a >> well, first of all, this is a good day for londoners, for greater london. small steps. but i it's a bigger for i think it's a bigger step for the greater london area and not just the greater london area. we've the country as we've got to talk the country as well because there's many similar going on in similar schemes going on in other similar schemes going on in oth there are 15 across the >> there are 15 across the country. exactly. >> there are 15 across the cou so y. exactly. >> there are 15 across the couso this exactly. >> there are 15 across the couso this is exactly. >> there are 15 across the couso this is the ctly. >> there are 15 across the couso this is the this is the >> so this is the this is the direction of travel. i'm not

going to take this so it's going to take this away. so it's about environment. about the environment. it's about the environment. it's about health. and about people's health. and there's little bit in terms of there's a little bit in terms of making steps in terms of making small steps in terms of climate change mitigating climate change and mitigating that. absolutely say this that. so i absolutely say this is a good day. those that oppose ulez have lost . they need to get ulez have lost. they need to get overit ulez have lost. they need to get over it they need to move over it and they need to move on.and over it and they need to move on. and that's where we are at this is is it too this moment. is it is it too much though, jim? much stick, though, jim? >> and not enough carrots at the moment for something that nobody actually voted for? >> you say nobody >> well, when you say nobody voted elected mayor. voted for, we elected a mayor. i say elected a mayor say london is elected a mayor a few ago. so he's got a few years ago. so he's got a mandate, much as the government have got mandate to do what have got a mandate to do what they you know, much, they do. and, you know, much, much what government much of what this government does, agree but does, i don't agree with, but because elected them , you because we elected them, you have with it. have to have to go with it. you have to be law abiding. have do be law abiding. you have to do the right and you have to the right things and you have to accept what comes. it's exactly the same with the mayor. i appreciate i think the mayor appreciate and i think the mayor appreciated after starmer appreciated after keir starmer had him after had words with him after the uxbndge had words with him after the uxbridge there uxbridge by—election that there needs movement in in needs to be some movement in in in in the what you might call the what we're trying to say the

payback. the what we're trying to say the payback . to car drivers to these payback. to car drivers to these people who would lose their cars.i people who would lose their cars. i understand that. and i think he's gone some way to thousand pound is not a small amount of money for say a 2006 car if you see where i'm going. so there was always going to be there was always when you make when you make movements like this, there's always going to be some that get left behind. and i realise that that and there is sympathy in that direction. but i think 90% of cars and vehicles are compliant in in the london area and beyond. so you know, this is the movement. this is going forward. this is the direction of travel. as i say, there'll be some people, jim, who will say at the moment when bills are going up, we're in this cost of living, cost of lockdown whatever lockdown crisis, whatever you want the hangover of want to call it, the hangover of the last few years, the time is not right now to increase this at moment for all of the at this moment for all of the people who are coming here this morning in bromley, opening their huge their shops, paying huge

electricity which show no electricity bills, which show no sign going down this winter. sign of going down this winter. >> gas. he needs >> electricity and gas. he needs to wait. sadiq khan should have given it what, 6 to 12 months? it wouldn't have made any difference to the planet if he was do that, would it? was to do that, would it? >> was a time coming >> this was a long time coming anyway, make that clear. anyway, let's make that clear. >> on the agenda >> this has been on the agenda for long time. and what what for a long time. and what what drivers have to do and have drivers have got to do and have to do to get to be compliant or to do to get to be compliant or to or to their cars has to or to scrap their cars has been on a time. we i been on for a long time. we i think we could continue saying this forever if we said this next year for example, don't next year for example, i don't think would be think the economics would be that so we're that much better. so we're looking the economic looking at the economic argument. we've got to argument. i think we've got to go the central go back to the central government and say, you put us there the part, you there for the most part, you take there's one little take us out. there's one little piece missing. if i'd piece that's missing. if i'd like to and that is if it's like to add, and that is if it's a financial thing, maybe knock on the of those that on the doors of those that have caused problems than caused these problems more than anybody. is the big oil anybody. and that is the big oil industry provides likes industry that provides the likes of the petrol stations of the petrol petrol stations and they should be putting and maybe they should be putting something in terms of the something in in terms of the financial side to offset that

rather than necessarily londoners, people in the street like people surrounding us like these people surrounding us today that should that should have happened and nobody's knocking on their door. and i find it i find it strange. all right, jim, thank you. >> you're going to be with me this morning. good to you. this morning. good to see you. thank for being here. if you thank you for being here. if you are tuning in, i am in are just tuning in, i am in bromley this morning. bromley in kent this morning. andrew is in london. andrew pierce is in london. we're to locals here we're talking to locals here because, course, ulez because, of course, the ulez expansion day has arrived. all 32 boroughs. now 32 london boroughs. now included. gemma. included. good morning, gemma. now a look your now we can have a look at your sign. i think we know your position on this . how long have position on this. how long have you campaigning why are you been campaigning and why are you been campaigning and why are you it? you so against it? >> partner, oliver i >> my partner, oliver and i first got involved after christmas, so about january we went to the trafalgar square protest and we've been to most of them ever since . of them ever since. >> now those are the protests which sadiq khan said was full of conspiracy theorists and lunatics. how did you feel about that? >> we're certainly not lunatics. we know exactly what we're talking about . we know exactly what we're talking about. i'm afraid paying £12.50 a day is not going to

clean up our air. how is that going to clean up our air? £12.50 a day is ludicrous. you know, there are other ways. if our air needs cleaning up, which i personally don't think it does , it's, you know, paying to do thatis , it's, you know, paying to do that is not going to help . that is not going to help. >> and it's your partner who is a tree surgeon, your your your business, your family business is a tree surgeon . now, your is a tree surgeon. now, your vehicle, i believe, is not compliant. do you get a little bit of time, though, in order to make compliant? bit of time, though, in order to ma no. compliant? bit of time, though, in order to ma no. as mpliant? bit of time, though, in order to ma no. as of»liant? bit of time, though, in order to ma no. as of today , that's it. >> no. as of today, that's it. we're paying £12, £0.50 a day for oliver go to work. we're for oliver to go to work. we're a family of six. we're already in living crisis . in a cost of living crisis. we're finding very hard to we're finding it very hard to make ends meet. this has put us under huge, huge pressure . yeah. under huge, huge pressure. yeah. and as oliver says, it's tree surgery is not a price list. it's not like going to the shops and buying a product. it's not a price list. so he's then got to charge his customers. they're going to haggle with him. in effect, this £12.50 a day is

just going to go to sadiq khan andifs just going to go to sadiq khan and it's not going to change anything without air because he will still be buying. he will still be driving that vehicle. >> so he can't use the scrappage scheme or it doesn't work out financially for you as a business to take that money. >> no, financially, that does not help us at all. we're not in a position to get finance. we cannot get a van for the £2,000 scrappage. that is a tip of truck that enables him to do his job. no it's no help to us whatsoever. so therefore it is payg. whatsoever. so therefore it is payg . sadiq khan, £12.50 a day payg. sadiq khan, £12.50 a day to go to work to do his quote. sometimes he's not even earning money. he's out doing quotes. he's out collecting logs, he's not earning money for that. but he will still be paying. it's not fair. >> now. now, sadiq khan would say, you've had time . you've had say, you've had time. you've had plenty of warning to invest in a new vehicle . what would you say new vehicle. what would you say to that ? to that? >> where's the money for that ?

>> where's the money for that? where is the money for that? because we're not in a position we can't get finance that we've already had to finance the tools , the chipper for oliver to go to work. we've had a multitude of things happen . we've just got of things happen. we've just got over covid where we were locked down and work was very thin on the people have the ground. people don't have money their trees cut at money to get their trees cut at the moment. they're struggling to meet. a tree to make ends meet. having a tree cut be a luxury, so our cut can be a luxury, so our business is already suffering and this is just causing it to suffer further. i would also imagine that oliver and possibly yourself, you care about the environment, the very nature of his job is that he environment, the very nature of hisjob is that he is environment, the very nature of his job is that he is he works with trees, so it's not as though you're saying that you don't care about the environment, but you feel it's been too what, soon, too restrictive? >> there should be more exemptions. >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, oliver is, you know, many of his customers will say he's he talks people out of having their trees cut down because he says it's a beautiful tree. leave it where it is. we can just make it look pretty, you know, whatever. he doesn't just chopping

doesn't go around just chopping trees cares trees for down money. he cares about environment . we all about the environment. we all do. but as i no, we haven't do. but as i say, no, we haven't had time to get to this had time to get used to this idea. we haven't had time get idea. we haven't had time to get our finances in place, to get to get a new vehicle and it is just about money. >> and it could literally mean the end of your business. >> absolutely. and that is going to us into huge hardship. to put us into huge hardship. and it's you know, it's the mental health side of things as well. i mean, you know, i hope oliver doesn't mind me saying, but has been depressed over but he has been depressed over this. him physically this. i've seen him physically upset is he going to upset about how is he going to feed his family, how is he going to keep a roof over his family's head? it's heartbreaking . and head? it's heartbreaking. and what sadiq khan is doing to us is heartbreaking. what sadiq khan is doing to us is iokay. eaking. what sadiq khan is doing to us is iokay. well,]. what sadiq khan is doing to us is iokay. well, thank you , gemma. >> okay. well, thank you, gemma. stay for little while stay with me for a little while , course. sadiq , won't you? of course. sadiq khan say that what he's khan will say that what he's trying to do is to help people and to save lives. he says that and to save lives. he says that a lot. one strange thing about ulez. the exemption ulez. i think, is the exemption of classic cars. phil is here to tell me a little bit about that. so this is any car field that's

created before 1973. >> well, it's not that . it's >> well, it's not that. it's actually over 40 years old, but it has been registered historic to get the historic tax status , to get the historic tax status, in effect, and get the exemption . so. >> but does it does it seem a little bit i don't know. >> i don't know. can you explain the logic behind it? i guess these are old cars, but they're often the biggest engines and they're kicking out a lot of fuel. and yet you can now drive them down the high street and not £12. not pay £12. >> 50. no, because >> 50. well no, because our local has done, really local laws has been done, really hasn't it? >> i think most i think the >> i think the most i think the better way do it is to keep better way to do it is to keep old vehicles going and not waste vast resources producing horrible electric vehicles, which do not help the environment at all. like take, for , any little kid who for example, any little kid who goes mining in some third goes out mining in some third world country and pollute the local water supply, locals local water supply, the locals doing consultation that local water supply, the locals doinmining,isultation that local water supply, the locals doinmining, cobalt, n that local water supply, the locals doinmining, cobalt, lithiumt local water supply, the locals doinmining, cobalt, lithium , and mining, cobalt, lithium, whatever, have the severe whatever, and have the severe health from that. also health effects from that. also fairly recently there was a cargo ship fire that okay, they said, oh, it's 50 electric cars. they went 500. that's 5000

electric vehicles . the whole electric vehicles. the whole thing just caught fire. and it's almost impossible to put it out . and that's the dangers of electric vehicles and also the electric vehicles and also the electric vehicles and also the electric vehicle in the minor shunt. it's written off, but it's the danger of the batteries i >> -- >> it's a good point, actually . >> it's a good point, actually. thank you, phil, because, of course, these will be the classic cars of the future. some of these older cars now which which aren't exempt from ulez andrew some of the diesel cars, the petrol cars, anything after 2016 for a petrol , for a diesel 2016 for a petrol, for a diesel car, anything after 2006 for a petrol car a little bit. >> it's actually euro six diesel and euro four petrol. so right, that's basically what it is. look at the cost certificate of conformity on the actual v5 or the logbook and that will tell you what euro standard that car actually is . actually is. >> right? i see. okay but it isn't always entirely clear. thank you, phil, i'm going to be here. andrew, as you know, until

midday this morning and possibly a little bit after as well to talk to mark and pip, because it's a very divisive issue, obviously , sadiq khan is very obviously, sadiq khan is very proud today . obviously, sadiq khan is very proud today. he will be bragging on the global stage that he has the largest car tariff zone in the largest car tariff zone in the entire world. old. but is that necessarily what is right for british people and for british businesses and for people who frankly don't want to have to scrap a car, which is perfectly good, but might be kicking out a little more emissions than a newer car or an electric car . back to emissions than a newer car or an electric car. back to you. >> bev. lots of emails coming in, of course, texas and says ulez . my guess is mayor khan ulez. my guess is mayor khan doesn't care who it affects. he's doing it all with his eyes set on the over their horizon of his next job after he leaves this one. remember, he did a mini world tour a few months ago to promote his cv on the world stage next year of world stage next year of the world health organisation, united nafions health organisation, united nations would nations or similar. it would explain he's listening to explain why he's listening to starmer it being car starmer as well as it being car tax fill his budget black

tax to fill his budget black hole. well, let's be quite clear about by way, about keir starmer, by the way, sir starmer is only sir keir starmer is only latterly a reluctant latterly become a reluctant critic of ulez since the labour party miserably failed to win the uxbridge by—election, which they should have won at a canter. the tories turned it canter. but the tories turned it into a referendum on ulez. dave says if sadiq khan really believes ulez is about cleaning the air quality not feeling the air quality and not feeling the air quality and not feeling the gap in his finances, the huge gap in his finances, he'd objection to he'd have no objection to putting the £12.50 charges and the collects the the fines he collects into the scrappage scheme to make it fit for purpose too. fine, of course, is £180. £90 if you pay it within the first 14 days, jules says there are a lot of causes of asthma other than the exhaust pollutants. dry, stale air indoors, dust mites and the like. but every vehicle in london produces tire and brake dust. the latter can be very dangerous, as it contains asbestos. this ulez expansion is just a money grabbing scheme. you're right, jules. lots you're dead right, jules. lots more coming in. do send us your views, your texts, your emails, your tweets. derek says. is your tweets. derek says. why is no talking the glasgow no one talking about the glasgow system? there is no daily charge

for non—compliant vehicles. there and if you there simply banned. and if you get £60 fine, doubles get a £60 fine, which doubles each time you enter the zone, please highlight this alongside the london ulez bev yeah , you the london ulez bev yeah, you know what? >> there's another interesting issue, and he's absolutely right because there are 51 zones now across the uk. one problem with this system is the car cloning thing. so more than 5000 drivers were fined £160 since october for because they cloned cars. so the admin issues with this system are very costly as well. we're going to be looking at that and the implications about the data and the surveillance . a the data and the surveillance. a huge we got loads of topics. we're going to be here in bromley all morning. all right. that the temperatures rising boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> good morning welcome to your latest gb news weather forecast. i'm craig snell. well, looking ahead to today, some mixture of

talk can take in some of talk so we can take in some of the beautiful sights of bromley. great to you we're great to see you here. we're very happy be here. just very happy to be here. just explain what ulez explain to us what impact ulez being incorporated into bromley today. what impact is it having on the locals? >> well, going to hit a lot >> well, it's going to hit a lot of a lot of of local people and a lot of local businesses very hard. we're very much out london as we're very much out of london as it we have the air it happens. we have the best air quality in greater london. we've got the lowest levels of pollution, a third of our borough is green belt. pollution, a third of our borough is green belt . we go borough is green belt. we go right down to the borders of kent. i'm leaving after i leave you.bev kent. i'm leaving after i leave you. bev i'm going down to biggin that's a village in biggin hill. that's a village in the belt. but they're the green belt. but they're going to be clobbered with this ridiculous cut charge. >> so , of course, sadiq khan >> so, of course, sadiq khan would say , bob, if you want your would say, bob, if you want your constituents to enjoy clean air and to make the most of these wonderful green spaces you have, i'm so sorry , but it's time to i'm so sorry, but it's time to give up on polluting cars. we've had them too long. it's luxury had them too long. it's a luxury we longer afford. from an we can no longer afford. from an environmental point of view, i think points to make. >> firstly, in relation to that's his alleged reason for

doing this. i don't it doing this. i don't believe it really is as far as we're concerned to say, our air quality is the best. also, though, we have the largest percentage of pensioners in greater london. a lot of those people are on fixed incomes . people are on fixed incomes. they've got an old car that they may have had for ten, 15 years. it's well maintained. they use it to run to the shops a couple of miles into bromley, go and see some friends. its mileage is probably a few hundred miles a yeah probably a few hundred miles a year, if that. >> so what does this mean for those pensioners then? it those pensioners then? does it mean of them will mean that some of them will just give driving now? well, give up on driving now? well, it's exactly right. >> i've had a letter a >> i've had a letter from a gentleman who's 83, only came in on sunday on my email. he is going to be trapped in his home, effectively. he can't get out to meet family friends. he's going to be dependent now others to be dependent now on others to come because he come to get him because he cannot afford to invest in a new car. and it's ridiculous idea that you're going to get ulez that you're going to get a ulez compliant for £2,000. is compliant car for £2,000. it is really for the birds. so people like that have lost their independence because of the

mayor. it's his direct fault and his responsibility . his responsibility. >> now, he isn't here today . his responsibility. >> now, he isn't here today. he would say it is about air pollution. he would say that he was voted in to be in control of this wonderful city. and this is what he believes is the right thing to do for the longer term for the grandchildren of your constituents. and that really, frankly, it's just time for a change. well everybody knows that we want to improve air pollution. >> everybody knows that we're getting cleaner and better vehicles coming along . now, the vehicles coming along. now, the government's been encouraging that , and government's been encouraging that, and we're phasing out older vehicles by 2030, but he's doing this in a rush purely for a sake of political grandstanding and also actually to fill a hole in his own coffers because sadiq khan bust the tfl budget long before this ever came along when he imposed a ridiculous fare freeze he couldn't afford and then, of course, their finances fell apart in the pandemic. so he's actually taxing outer londoners to fill up the deficit that he created, the black hole he

created, the black hole he created in tfl's finances. that's the real reason for this. >> so what can the conservatives do? what can rishi sunak do? he certainly changed the rhetoric about the motorists after the uxbndge about the motorists after the uxbridge by—election it was quite noticeable, i think, to a lot of our viewers and listeners were in touch and they were quite heartened by the mood music. they were hearing from rishi sunak. but what else can he do? >> well, what i hope you'll do is you'll support an amendment that's put down the that's been put down in the house of by my colleague, house of lords by my colleague, lord moynihan, which would house of lords by my colleague, lord m(the1an, which would house of lords by my colleague, lord m(the consent:h would house of lords by my colleague, lord m(the consent ofwould house of lords by my colleague, lord m(the consent of the ld require the consent of the london boroughs, affected by any extension this scheme . it extension of this scheme. it wouldn't retrospective, but wouldn't be retrospective, but it cut off from the day it would cut it off from the day that act came into parliament. we could do that reasonably quickly, not immediately, but it will people light the will give people light at the end the tunnel. that's one end of the tunnel. that's one thing the government can do. the second thing, of course, is it's a political one, frankly, and that's around get that's to rally around and get a change mayor our change of mayor because our candidate for susan hall, candidate for mayor, susan hall, is to scrapping ulez is committed to scrapping ulez on day one. so there's a political action. there is a legislative not as quick

legislative action. not as quick as but least it as i'd like, but at least it will be something we mustn't give up on this at all. what is will be something we mustn't givecity on this at all. what is will be something we mustn't givecity of this at all. what is will be something we mustn't givecity of bromley ll. what is will be something we mustn't givecity of bromley ?. what is the city of bromley? >> is it a city or a town? i'm so— >> is it a city or a town? i'm so sorry. i should know the answer to that. >> officially. it's a london borough. i think we call it a town. but of course, it's a collection of communities. bromley beckenham, bromley orpington, beckenham, chislehurst, bromley orpington, beckenham, chis|of urst, bromley orpington, beckenham, chis|of the , bromley orpington, beckenham, chis|of the big london borough part of the big london borough of the largest borough of bromley, the largest borough in say, one of the in london. as i say, one of the greenest, greenest in greenest, the greenest in london, greenest, the greenest in lonand what it like? i mean, >> and what is it like? i mean, just just to our viewers just just to tell our viewers and listeners who aren't familiar this area, is it familiar with this area, is it an affluent prosperous, is an affluent is it prosperous, is it particularly diverse area? it a particularly diverse area? >> actually a much more >> it's actually a much more mixed people think. mixed area than people think. people assume or suburbs must mean and prosperous. well, mean leafy and prosperous. well, parts are. but as i say, we've also got a very the highest pensioner population in london. we have also areas of real deprivation and low income. we have a number of between the wars, estates . we've also got wars, estates. we've also got areas like penge which are much closer to inner london and we've got quite a lot of people living

on fixed incomes. we've got a mixed range of income levels here. so i've got to two communities in my constituency where we've got a lot of people on minimum wage, on low wage jobs, a lot of people running small businesses. the classic white van man that you find in this part of london. when i went in my own family, we've got people who need carers come people who need carers to come in to help my elderly mother. they have little cars to they they have little cars to run around they can't afford run around in. they can't afford expensive they're not on expensive cars. they're not on big wages and they're the people who to be hit by this i >> -- >> okay, bob, it's lovely to see you this morning, sir. bob neill there, this area, there, mp for this area, conservative mp. don't go anywhere, will you can go conservative mp. don't go any\get'e, will you can go conservative mp. don't go any\get merill you can go conservative mp. don't go any\get me al you can go conservative mp. don't go any\get me a coffee you can go conservative mp. don't go any\get me a coffee ifu can go conservative mp. don't go any\get me a coffee if youn go conservative mp. don't go any\get me a coffee if you want. and get me a coffee if you want. i think i've just told sir bob neill to go and get me a cappuccino. we're not sure on coffee shops in this area. now, jim dale is here this morning. jim dale is here this morning. jim it's very difficult to argue when bob talking about when you hear bob talking about the impacts on some of the most marginalised people, those on low income pensioners who have a

little run around , they've had little run around, they've had for a few years who thought they could carry on visiting the grandchildren in it and not have to pay this £12.50 a day or risk the £90 fine. and so just give us some sort of proportionality here as to why we need to have this. >> the reason we have to have it is, is the direction of travel in terms of health, in terms of environment, in terms of small steps. and i say that as a meteorologist in terms of the climate change side of things. that's all we can do. we can't do this this on our own. and this has been replicated in certain ways across the country. so we're standing here in a pedestrian which which pedestrian zone, which is which is nice . it's pedestrian zone, which is which is nice. it's no pedestrian zone, which is which is nice . it's no cars, no is quite nice. it's no cars, no fumes , apart from a few fumes, apart from a few cigarettes here and there, but it's actually quite pleasant . so it's actually quite pleasant. so i approached this, perhaps not as a scientist, if you like, or working within the scientific community. and i approach it in terms of saying common sense, this is common sense, this is the direction of travel and while i have sympathy for the implementing motion the implementing motion in the difficulties that that certain

members of the of the population will have , always when you make will have, always when you make major changes , this happen major changes, this will happen . i think you've just got to look at the big picture in the direction travel and for me, direction of travel and for me, the environment and health come first. >> do we have much clear science on how bad cars are for the environment, petrol and diesel cars ? cars? >>i cars? >> i think we do. we could have this interview certainly on a diesel car if you wish. and you know, i don't think we come out of it very well after about an houh of it very well after about an hour. the irony, jim, is that there was a very noisy, very smelly looking diesel generator just of the just here with one of the doughnut stands and thought, just here with one of the dougihet stands and thought, just here with one of the dougihe hasn'tis and thought, just here with one of the dougihe hasn't he'sd thought, just here with one of the dougihe hasn't he's not hought, just here with one of the dougihe hasn't he's not goingt, well, he hasn't he's not going to be ulez compliant with his generator, he? generator, is he? >> that's the trouble. we >> and that's the trouble. we see this sort contradictions see this sort of contradictions when move around a city like when you move around a city like this, be there this, there will always be there will always little will always be little, little things there. things here and there. >> mentioned the classic >> you mentioned the classic cars earlier. perhaps reason cars earlier. perhaps the reason for because they are for that is because they are classic and can get classic cars and they can get away it. but the probably away with it. but the probably arguably small proportion of arguably a small proportion of the of cars and the total amount of cars and what trying or what what we're trying to do or what what we're trying to do or

what the the city car is what the what the city car is trying to do trying to trying to do is trying to implement that across the board, if like, more of the if you like, more of the population involved. and i think when look at londoners and population involved. and i think whethem look at londoners and population involved. and i think whethem and: at londoners and population involved. and i think whethem and the londoners and population involved. and i think whethem and the polls ners and population involved. and i think whethem and the polls that and population involved. and i think whethem and the polls that i've ask them and the polls that i've seen, the vast, vast majority of them accept that this is the direction of travel. >> okay, jim, thank you. i like the fact that you're saying direction of travel. got a direction of travel. it's got a lovely sort appropriateness lovely sort of appropriateness to i was just watching to that. and i was just watching a skateboarder go flying past and know, a skateboarder go flying past and next know, a skateboarder go flying past and next generation, know, a skateboarder go flying past and next generation, they're ow, the next generation, they're quite skateboards. quite happy on skateboards. i wouldn't on wouldn't be happy on a skateboard. justin crockett joins imagine you joins me now. i imagine you wouldn't happy a wouldn't be happy on a skateboard would you? wouldn't be happy on a skatyouard would you? wouldn't be happy on a skatyou have would you? wouldn't be happy on a skatyou have beenrvould you? wouldn't be happy on a skatyou have been drivingou? wouldn't be happy on a skatyou have been driving an but you have been driving an electric car for many years. >> yes. we bought our first >> oh, yes. we bought our first electric in 2014 and electric car in 2014 and i bought my current 1 in 2016. >> you have had one of the >> you must have had one of the first off the production line. >> you must have had one of the firsioff the production line. >> you must have had one of the firsi thinka production line. >> you must have had one of the firsi think we oduction line. >> you must have had one of the firsi think we were ion line. >> you must have had one of the firsi think we were prettye. >> you must have had one of the firsi think we were pretty early. >> i think we were pretty early. we bmw i3 and then in 2016 we had a bmw i3 and then in 2016 i bought a tesla model s and my wife changed the i3 for a tesla model. three, two years ago. so and the reason we drive electric cars is because they're better, they accelerate faster, they're

cheaper to maintain. they they are cheaper to run. they need very little maintenance and frankly, the whole experience is fantastic now. >> yeah . so, so you even though >> yeah. so, so you even though you're pro electric car, you have your concerns about ulez from a data security point of view. now, this is something i don't think gets enough coverage. all those cameras which are going up around this borough now, around the whole of greater are filming us, greater london, are filming us, surveilling us and keeping that data. >> yes . so the data. >> yes. so the anpr cameras data. >> yes . so the anpr cameras now, >> yes. so the anpr cameras now, i don't know the individual cameras, so that's automatic number plate recognition. that's right. that's what's being used. the point is that that is information about where people are travelling, how they're travelling at. and i question the security because for example, in the united states, they have something called the ndr , which is a national defence ndr, which is a national defence authorisation act, which basically means certain companies cannot be providers to critical infrastructure in the us without a defence authorisation . and we saw a few

authorisation. and we saw a few years ago with mobile and telecoms networks , some telecoms networks, some manufacturers being banned from those networks and the question is, is what's going on with the type of equipment and etcetera that's being used for these networks. now the other problem is a large number of these cameras have actually been stolen. so once you steal a camera, it's a bit like stealing a laptop. you know, there is information on that relating to it's credentials. it's it's security credentials. it's network access. et cetera. et cetera. and how is that being managed? what i would really like to see is some evidence that , you know, gchq or like to see is some evidence that, you know, gchq or somebody like this has done a full and thorough investigation, not only into this network, but all the council networks as well. and i think a lot of them will be found wanting that could be another legal loophole . another legal loophole. >> of course, that does get the london assembly into some sort of trouble. and to get them locked, tied up in all sorts of judicial knots, actually , judicial knots, actually, because if it is found, i think what you're saying is if it is

found that these cameras are containing all of this data and we haven't given our permission effectively, then there could be a huge class action. >> you've got dpa, you've got the gdpr , etcetera, etcetera, the gdpr, etcetera, etcetera, all sorts of and this has all been put in in a bit of a rush. and i rather suspect there'd be some corners cut. i don't know. but i think somebody somewhere needs to ask the question, is this a proper freedom of information request? and maybe that's gb news could that's something gb news could ask for. i don't know. >> but but you do think that in terms of moving towards electric vehicles, not necessarily for the planet, but for the individual , the planet, but for the individual, is a good thing to move towards? >> yes. so without a doubt. i mean, i drive an electric vehicle because they are better . i had my first test drive in 2013 and i was blown away and i thought, i've got to have this. you know, that's why i bought an electric vehicle. i mean, the environmental credentials are a nice bonus on top and i have a super eco house and all this

sort of thing. air source, heat pump. i have the. you must be very rich. justin no, no. i did most of it myself. funnily enough. i did it because that's part of the problem is that some of the eco, the environmental cars, the teslas, they don't give them away. they don't. give them away. no, they don't. but you add the total but when you add up the total cost ownership, even when cost of ownership, even when i bought bought mine, the total cost the cost of ownership, given the mileage doing at the time, mileage i was doing at the time, made sense, you know, made a lot of sense, you know, and that's that's it came. and that's that's how it came. but mean, this 20, 30 but no, i mean, this 20, 30 bannau petrol cars . i just bannau petrol cars. i just wonder why the government do it because no matter it doesn't matter because by 2030 people will be buying electrics anyway because they'll be cheaper and better. you know? so why bother, you know, upsetting people. >> right. well, sadiq khan >> all right. well, sadiq khan is upsetting people today. justin, thank you so much for joining there. there are joining me there. there are a lot of people upset about it today. of course, andrew. but those people who think we should be relying our cars, be relying less on our cars, that we should be looking after the next the planets for the next generation, lots of kids walking around course ,

around here today. of course, it's the summer holidays, flying around on skateboards. maybe it's the summer holidays, flying around a1 skateboards. maybe it's the summer holidays, flying around a there's)oards. maybe it's the summer holidays, flying around a there's aards. maybe it's the summer holidays, flying around a there's a middle maybe there's a there's a middle ground somewhere that to be ground somewhere that has to be met. to you. met. back to you. >> right. bev turner >> all right. that's bev turner in bromley, talking about the introduction of the absolutely loathed ultra low emission zone expansion. now still to come, the chaos at our airports, the worst since 2010. we're gb news britain's news channel. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> good morning. welcome to your latest gb news weather forecast. i'm craig snell. well, looking ahead to today , it's a mixture ahead to today, it's a mixture of sunshine and scattered showers for most of us, but it'll be pretty breezy up across the north. so start day the north. so we start the day with this band showery with this band of showery rain across northern england, parts of that will sink its way of wales that will sink its way south eastwards as the goes south eastwards as the day goes on it scotland and on behind it for scotland and northern ireland, really some blustery showers from the word go heaviest these go. the heaviest of these showers probably across showers probably up across northern think come northern scotland. i think come the , best of drier the afternoon, best of any drier and brighter weather will be

across england and in across northern england and in any sunshine, not feeling too bad the time of year in the bad for the time of year in the south, see highs south, we could see highs reaching around 21 or 22 degrees into the evening . this band of into the evening. this band of rain across the midlands will sink its way south eastwards, clearing the southeast as we go through course of the night. through the course of the night. that will leave lot of that will leave a lot of southern parts of the dry and southern parts of the uk dry and clear, where north clear, where further north continuation showers and continuation of some showers and again some of these could be potentially up the potentially heavy up across the far scotland under the far north of scotland under the clear skies, turning a little bit cool for the time of year. could see lows falling down to about degrees some about 5 to 6 degrees in some prone spots. but that'll set us up a fairly bright start up for a fairly bright start across parts the across many parts of the country. and hopeful country. and i'm hopeful a little bit more in the way of sunshine around to sunshine around compared to today. the risk of today. but still, the risk of some some these some showers, some of these showers could be quite heavy initially across northern england. sink england. they may well sink their of the their way into parts of the midlands and east anglia as the day with perhaps day goes on with perhaps the driest conditions driest and brightest conditions tomorrow the tomorrow down towards the south—west, very similar south—west, highs very similar to what we'd be seeing today.

>> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, proud sponsors of weather on .

7:00 this evening. gb news is the people's channel. britain's watching . watching. >> well, it's 1025 on britain's >> well, it's1025 on britain's news and gb news with me, andrew pearson bev turner, who is in bromley talking about the introduction of the expansion of the ultra low emission zone. i'm

talking to you about the absolute chaos at our airports. again, holiday. do again, bank holiday. what do you expect ? days more disruption expect? days more disruption predicted after a major system failure in britain's air traffic control system left tens of thousands stranded . of course, thousands stranded. of course, bank holiday, one of the busiest days of the year. the technical fault caused 80% of flights to be delayed and estimated 1200 cancelled in the single worst day of air traffic disruption since the icelandic volcano eruption in 2010. joining us now from join us now is paul charles, who's the chief executive at the pc agency. paul executive at the pc agency. paul, morning to you. it puts it in perspective, doesn't it? the last time we had disruption like this, there was a major volcanic eruption in iceland. this time it was nothing to do with iceland . presumably the system iceland. presumably the system just got overloaded. no backup system . and just got overloaded. no backup system .and i read with just got overloaded. no backup system . and i read with horror system. and i read with horror that they were reduced to having to log a lot of the flights by hand. yes we've seen over 1600 flight cancellations now since yesterday morning when this outage first occurred.

>> and no, it wasn't a hack. it seems to have been a failure of the software somewhere there. and it does seem remarkable that they then have to resort to manual processes, which, to be fair, is a safe way of making sure aircraft land. okay. and take off. okay. but it shouldn't be like that. in this day and age, there should be a backup system. there should be better software for. and that's why i think the government needs to launch into launch a national inquiry into the state our british the state of our british infrastructure around aviation at the moment. >> yeah, because am i have i got this right, paul? it just seems to me virtually every bank houday to me virtually every bank holiday or major holiday period, there a problem the there is a problem with the airlines problems airlines and problems with delays and disruptions. this being course, for being the worst, of course, for 13 years. >> we've certainly seen some high profile incidents over recent bank holidays. just a few weeks ago, were talking about weeks ago, we were talking about the e—gates falling over. of course , which affected of course, which affected all of our airports around the uk. now this time it's over 6000 flights that have been affected and literally half a million people around the world who were caught

up in this. many of them will lose money. they won't get compensation because the airlines say it's not our fault. it was nats computer system to blame . and i hate to say it, but blame. and i hate to say it, but i dare say we'll have more issues, which is why we need to see the government be proactive on this, do a resilience test against all the aviation infrastructure in this country and tell us where things are going wrong so they can learn from it. >> what often happens as well, just to make it worse for families and people caught up in this, paul, we hear again and again nobody tells people what's happening . there's some happening. there's some photographs the papers today photographs in the papers today of some very anguished looking passengers very passengers and some very anguished staff trying to placate them. why is that information not not forthcoming ? >> well, 7 >> well, airlines, to be fair, have got better at communicating, sending texts and emails when there's a problem with your flight. i got one last week about a 20 minute delay, which i was surprised about, but at least they were communicating. so they have got better. still good

better. but it's still not good enough. now is the enough. and i think now is the time for a conversation and debate to be properly taking place about when there is an outage this, how airlines, outage like this, how airlines, airports and nats all working together can communicate better together can communicate better to consumers, especially in other destinations, not in the uk . often when you're in an uk. often when you're in an airport somewhere in europe, for example , all the communication example, all the communication is much poorer. example, all the communication is much poorer . they example, all the communication is much poorer. they don't example, all the communication is much poorer . they don't know is much poorer. they don't know what's going on at the airline representative desk locally and that needs to improve. and i think with better think it's time with better technology now to find a much better system for consumers to rely on. >> mark, just finally, we know don't we, that heathrow airport is probably the busiest airport in the world. so don't we need in the world. so don't we need in this country an air traffic control system that reflects that? and also , more that? and also, more importantly, a backup system in case there is a problem . case there is a problem. >> we should have a system we're proud of, whether that's the gates, whether it's the air traffic control system that controls thousands of flights a day , we should be in a situation day, we should be in a situation where our technology is fail safe . that's why need a uk

safe. that's why we need a uk government inquiry to determine what the technology should be when the next investment is going to be. and let's see, some millions spent on creating this resilient infrastructure so that consumers don't lose tens of millions of pounds as they have donein millions of pounds as they have done in the last 24 hours. >> all right . that's paul >> all right. that's paul charles, who's the chief executive at the agency. and executive at the pc agency. and we of course, keep you up we will, of course, keep you up to date all that to date with all that disruption. more flights disruption. many more flights have today with have been cancelled today with some predictions the disruption will continue right up until friday. an airport friday. who'd go to an airport anywhere near a bank holiday? not me . still to come, bev is in not me. still to come, bev is in bromley. this morning talking about that expansion. finally it's of the ultra low it's happened of the ultra low emission zone. sadiq khan stealth tax on millions and millions of people. £12.50 a day. if you've got an older polluting car, that's after your morning news, of course, with ray addison . thanks andrew. ray addison. thanks andrew. >> it's 1030. ray addison. thanks andrew. >> it's1030. our top story , ray addison. thanks andrew. >> it's 1030. our top story , the >> it's 1030. our top story, the transport secretary has told gb

news. the people's channel. britain's news. channel >> very good morning. this is britain's newsroom on gb news. i don't know whether you were watching earlier, but mp for the area, sir bob neill was here. he did and buy me a coffee. very did go and buy me a coffee. very nice man. right? i'm here this morning talking to locals about the the ulez scheme the fact that the ulez scheme has extended across huge has been extended across a huge area today. all 32 london boroughs are now included in sadiq khan's masterplan to make the car less polluting . of the car less polluting. of course, if you have one of these vehicles, you can go on to the tfl website, you can put in your registration number and it will tell you whether car is tell you whether your car is compliant not. it depend compliant or not. it will depend on whether it's diesel or petrol and year the car was made. and what year the car was made. of khan will tell of course, sadiq khan will tell you is all about saving the you this is all about saving the planet, the environment, planet, saving the environment, stopping . and stopping global warming. and meteorologist and friend of the channel dale, here with channel jim dale, is here with me morning. so we're stood me this morning. so we're stood here, jim, on a lovely sunny day me this morning. so we're stood herecome on a lovely sunny day me this morning. so we're stood herecome out. lovely sunny day has come out. >> yes. >> yes. >> honestly, i'm very conflicted about global warming. we've had about global warming. we've had a conversation morning about global warming. we've had a climate;ation morning about global warming. we've had a climate change. morning about climate change. >> have. this only >> we have. and this is only a small part of it. i think the

main part ulez is more main part of ulez is more towards the health issue than it is necessarily to climate change. but every little helps , change. but every little helps, as they say. >> what difference does it make to climate change? because of course , you know, sadiq khan has course, you know, sadiq khan has been all been saying we've all got a responsibility. got agenda responsibility. we've got agenda 2030, rid of 2030, we'll be getting rid of all and diesel cars by all petrol and diesel cars by 2030. as a meteorologist and an environmentalist, does that warm your heart up? >> yes, it does. it's never going to come in one lump. it's never going to happen tomorrow. it's small steps ulez is it's small steps and ulez is a little bit of a part of that, a little bit of a part of that, a little bit of a part of that, a little bit of a step forward, if you like, a nice step forward. as i said to you earlier, we're starting nice pedestrian zone starting a nice pedestrian zone here bromley is here in bromley and it is refreshing to not not to have traffic going past you , whatever traffic going past you, whatever they're so i view they're putting out. so i view this as a common sense move. that's how i see it from a health point of view particularly. but it has a wrap around in terms of the environment as well. >> okay. i'm just seeing off off camera here alan miller of the together group. hello. how are you? see you. good to you? good to see you. good to see you. now, why are you here

this morning, alan? why? why bromley? going on here today? well, i think bromley is so >> well, i think bromley is so important. lived in shortlands important. i lived in shortlands for of years and i'm for a couple of years and i'm often here actually often around here actually visiting, travelling through. and a really and bromley has done a really sterling challenge, has made some important points about some very important points about the to residents and the impacts to residents and people that are here. the fact they don't want obviously they don't want it obviously they don't want it obviously they were involved in the judicial review, but we should remember that particular judicial was about very judicial review was about very specific legal specific technical legal questions and not about the bigger questions around the democratic question about the consultation being ignored, which the mayor has drilled down on today , saying, well, it was on today, saying, well, it was never a referendum . he bought never a referendum. he bought the cameras beforehand, but also the cameras beforehand, but also the harmful impacts that are going to happen to the majority of people in terms of charges and the cost of living crisis we've seen today as well, that shadow cabinet ministers and the labour party have come out saying this is not the right thing to do. sadiq khan isn't listening even to people in his own party and at the same time

he's drilling down on these claims as the scientific health claims as the scientific health claims . but claims as the scientific health claims. but tfl's claims as the scientific health claims . but tfl's report itself claims. but tfl's report itself said there'd be, if anything, very negligible impacts by doing this. but we know that the cost would be enormous. it's what it is. it's a cash grab. we've also seen, unfortunately, the mayor's office tampering and trying to change scientific reports with queen mary's university and imperial. so i'm here today at bromley to show some support for the traders is very important. retail and hospitality party. and you know, we've just come out of a really tough period. as we all know, the whole lockdowns . we've got this cost of living crisis now . and also to say that crisis now. and also to say that this isn't over now because many people are very upset, they're very angry. we've seen in the midlands with the clean air zone that tens of thousands of people just not pay the birmingham just did not pay the birmingham city council have now kind of had them all appealed and they've not paid . people are they've not paid. people are furious about this. it's unaccept reputable. and the fact that we keep getting gaslit now by mayor who keeps drilling

by our mayor who keeps drilling down these claims about the down on these claims about the emergencies and the scientific benefits, he would do much better to get into tfl and go underground. there and actually the way we if we really want to extend lives, we want to make sure that people have better housing and they can earn money in places like this and get better incomes that in the last 100 is people have 100 years is how people have done i'm here today to done that. so i'm here today to show support and say no to ulez still. >> well, you know, sadiq khan would say that with any change, any sort of industrial shift we've had in the past, there will always be casualties. ortiz and risk is that the and that the risk is that the luddhes and that the risk is that the luddites say we don't want any change. we do not want this. we just want to carry on as we are. we should all be allowed to drive and drive polluting diesel cars and petrol just being petrol cars. are you just being a luddite? alan it's really a luddite? alan it's a really good question because if we look at the last four decades, there's been some fantastic improvements. >> we've had catalytic converters. look at the converters. if you look at the health, if you look at the air quality in the last four

decades, massively improved in terms of european and international statistics, we rank very highly in london and in britain with that . and so the in britain with that. and so the nofion in britain with that. and so the notion and he's also used the argument that it's like the smoking ban and it has sort of improved health and well, obviously not like the obviously it's not like the smoking because smoking smoking ban because the smoking ban actually ban ban was actually a ban everywhere. could have everywhere. people could have had about that or had their views about that or not. you couldn't pay to carry on smoking the particular on smoking in the particular place right. so this whole thing, levels, thing, these example levels, it's about being a luddite. it's not about being a luddite. i think if you ask everyone in the abstract, they want the abstract, do they want better? not better? of course, everyone, not even abstract. in even in the abstract. in reality, want great air. the reality, we want great air. the question is how bad is our air right now, right? in terms of the metrics. it's actually the metrics. and it's actually very there are places very good. there are places where it's problematic, like in on underground and on the underground and particularly here this apparently bromley i was learning today from mp sir bob neill that actually bromley has the cleanest air of all the london boroughs. >> and that's that's the question it to guys in question isn't it to you guys in the our air the studio is our air sufficiently bad that we need to make these sorts of compromises

on businesses families and on businesses and families and the pensioners that bob neil was talking about as well? jim dale will be here with me later. alan miller, good to see you. so back to you guys in the studio. maybe that's to and that's the question to tanya and nigel are joining nigel nelson who are joining us now, sufficiently you now, is sufficiently bad. do you think in your experience that we have to make these changes and make quickly? have to make these changes and ma we quickly? have to make these changes and ma we asjuickly? have to make these changes and ma we as introduced, tanya >> we well, as introduced, tanya is with me, tanya buxton , lovely is with me, tanya buxton, lovely to see you again, tony. >> you had a lovely time away with your family in greece and you're looking fabulous. now you're looking fabulous. and now to always looks to nelson, who always looks fabulous, even though i always disagree absolutely disagree with absolutely everything nigel everything you say. nigel tanya, to the ultra low to you first on on the ultra low emission zone, you any emission zone, do you see any case for expansion? case for it? expansion? >> all. and also its >> none at all. and also its foundations are set on falsehood. and we need to dig down and get rid of those first infamously, has said infamously, what sadiq has said is the truth about why ulez is happening untruth and so happening isn't untruth and so we to just dig down onto we need to just dig down onto the that he's saying. the things that he's saying. you know, extra deaths and know, the 4000 extra deaths and what air quality what the actual air quality is. it's all a bit bleary and before you start rolling things out,

you start rolling things out, you need to have hard facts, don't you? >> you do. >> you do. >> you do. nigel. >> you do. nigel. there >> you do. nigel. there is unease the labour ranks . unease now in the labour ranks. >> yes, i'm a bit disappointed by at moment about this. >> well, not for the first time of course, but. but there's only unease in the labour ranks since they win the by—election. >> correct. oxbridge has spooked politicians yeah politicians of all parties. yeah because have walked because they should have walked it zelenskyy. it by johnson zelenskyy. >> made it >> the tories made it a referendum on the ultra low emission they failed to emission zone and they failed to win that. >> that's right. and the result is that labour been scared is that labour have been scared off yeah. as off ulez completely, yeah. as everyone has and all politicians seem have mean, seem to have been. i mean, i agree with ulez in principle. i think that it's been a success in central london. of course in central london. and of course he it has, has cut he does. it has, it has cut pollution by half there. believe it . where where i think sadiq it. where where i think sadiq khan got it wrong was that he could have graduated the charge. it was not about money, as he says then just graduated the charge say start at £2.50 before going all the way up to £12. 50. and most importantly for the outlying counties surrounding .

outlying counties surrounding. london to make the scrappage scheme available to them. so if you have a nurse who lives in kent working at a london hospital and suddenly hit by ulez , she should have the two. ulez, she should have the two. she or he should have the £2,000 to scrap the car and buy a new one. >> yeah, but a new car. i don't have a car, tony, but a new car. you get £2,000 to scrap your old car. what's a new car are you going to get for £2,000? you're not. >> it's hitting the poor. >> it's hitting the poor. >> it's hitting the poor. >> it's wrong. and really, i'm very glad that everybody is taking this on. i'm glad that that we're taking this on because shouldn't be happening. i mean, the gb news >> i mean, the gb news poll actually really interesting actually was really interesting on the fact that so many people were when actually were against it when actually only people are actually only 10% of people are actually affected it. affected by it. >> yeah, i think it's because it's another tax night and people like taxes. people don't like new taxes. >> don't. >> no, indeed they don't. >> no, indeed they don't. >> can broaden this >> yeah, we can broaden this beyond south—east beyond london and the south—east because do. you've got because it will do. you've got one bristol, a similar one in bristol, a similar version. birmingham, glasgow and it's coming and we and we saw sadiq khan in the we saw at the weekend wants to introduce some form of road pricing scheme to

he not but he says not he says not but he says not labour are going to declare war on the motorists aren't they. >> well not sure about that. >> well i'm not sure about that. and road pricing was a was and also road pricing was a was an that came up under the an idea that came up under the tories. i they were tories. i mean they were thinking about doing it. thinking about about doing it. we do something we have got to do something about congestion roads. about congestion on the roads. it may be that best way it may be that the best way of doing be some kind of doing it would be some kind of per mile charge. get rid of the road tax. on the basis of that. but there are all sorts of things that you might decide to do doesn't make it anti do that doesn't make it anti motorist. it means just a new way of actually organising it. all right. >> talk about another >> let's talk about another form of because we of transport, because here we are, holiday, tony. and are, bank holiday, tony. and guess our major guess what? chaos our major airports, heathrow airports, particularly heathrow , the largest, busiest airport in world, and the worst in the world, and the worst disruption since 2010, it's unbelievable , isn't it? unbelievable, isn't it? >> it's unbelievable that they've also said that they don't know why this has happened. and that's what i find a bit galling. i mean, it a bit galling. i mean, is it a cyber attack? what has made this happen? it can't just be that the systems are down. how can the systems are down. how can the systems are down. how can the system be down and the

is not hospital policy. what it is, a group. it's the lgbtq is, is a group. it's the lgbtq friends network at the hospital put idea up. so as put this idea up. so as far as the hospital goes, they follow the hospital goes, they follow the gmc guidelines, which are you must in fact establish the identity of the patient. and what's wrong with them? they have put this up on notice boards. >> yes, they have. >> yes, they have. >> yes, they have. >> yes, they've suggested this as an idea is a form of pressure. yes. i mean, they're a pressure. yes. i mean, they're a pressure group in that sense. they're and it they're a pressure group. and it quite clearly is ridiculous not to be to ask someone's to be able to ask someone's name. can't whether name. i can't see even whether you're or whatever you you're trans or whatever you are. your name be a problem. >> but it's been stated our >> but it's been stated now our secretary, secretary state secretary, secretary of state suella braverman said suella braverman has said a woman should be called a woman. we should have our freedom we should not have our freedom of from of speech taken away from us just cause offence. just in case we cause offence. facts are facts and this needs to just stop. is funding to just stop. who is funding this pressure group is what i want to why are they want to know. why are they allowed our hospitals allowed into our hospitals to do this? hospitals should this? really, hospitals should be dealing with saving lives and preventing being preventing people from being ill. man management ill. this middle man management of causes , they have of these woke causes, they have to stop because let me tell you, we our nhs is failing us. it's

failing us. it's failing the british people . and here we are british people. and here we are having this argument about this. >> when it comes to language, it should be a matter of common sense, really. i mean, i think that you can substitute parent for mother or father for in a lot and i think that lot of cases. and i think that that's probably fine. also, it depends the preference of the depends on the preference of the patient. mean, i that patient. i mean, i think that assuming not an assuming you're not an emergency, ask the patient what they want. and saying they want. and you're saying that were going in, you that if you were going in, you want to be a woman, you want to be a mother, that's fine. >> i am. >> i am. >> i am. >> i am >>iam. >> i ama >> i am. >> i am a woman. >>— >> i am a woman. >> you're a bloke. it's not about wanting to a woman. about wanting to be a woman. >> want it to be called. >> i don't want it to be called. sorry i missed the word called out. >> that not feel okay. >> that not feel okay. >> let me just nip forward because i want to squeeze in another story if you can go to the break. extraordinary the break. this extraordinary story away. the story will not go away. the mother now of the football bloke story will not go away. the motikissed/ of the football bloke story will not go away. the motikissed/ of girl, ootball bloke story will not go away. the motikissed/ of girl, she's.l bloke story will not go away. the motikissed/ of girl, she's gone> if she was greek, you'd see it as a tragedy, her

it as a greek tragedy, her pulling her hair out, tearing her clothes, her particularly on this know, it is this witch hunt. you know, it is ridiculous. but you know, lot ridiculous. but you know, a lot of it is. you've got to go into the nuances of it. so if was the nuances of it. so if i was the nuances of it. so if i was the mother of jennifer hermoso, i want some bloke i would not want some bloke grabbing her and giving her a full kiss on the mouth. but full on kiss on the mouth. but it was time of victor and it was a time of victor and glory and what he should have said, as we said earlier, is that just said, that he should have just said, look, really sorry. yeah, look, i'm really sorry. yeah, quite. and as he hasn't, it makes think i think that makes me think that i think that it's not just about this because actually , you people do actually, you know, people do get and do things get overexcited and do things that shouldn't have get overexcited and do things that so shouldn't have get overexcited and do things that so i'm shouldn't have get overexcited and do things that so i'm not shouldn't have get overexcited and do things that so i'm not soyuldn't have get overexcited and do things that so i'm not so downt have get overexcited and do things that so i'm not so down on|ve done. so i'm not so down on that. but i think is it representing something else that's going on in spanish football? >> makes you wonder, nigel, very briefly. >> yeah, that i agree with it. >> yeah, that i agree with it. >> this is ridiculous. >> this is ridiculous. >> well, should have said was >> well, he should have said was i overcome the emotion of i was overcome by the emotion of the occasion. shouldn't the occasion. i shouldn't have done he apologises to. he done that. he apologises to. he also put one woman over his shoulder like a fireman's hoist. and i think that he needs to apologise publicly for what he did, and he should have done

that immediately. now, what's going to happen is, however you cut it, this man is going he is going to have to either resign or be fired. >> it's tarnished the allure of the victory for the spanish women. >> talking about the >> no one's talking about the victory at all. they're just talking about what happened. but also, there is a also, i think there is a machoism football that needs machoism in football that needs to little, bit be evened to little, little bit be evened out. i think so. >> right. nigel tonya >> that's right. nigel and tonya are they haven't are coming back. they haven't disagreed but i'm disagreed very much, but i'm sure in next. sure they will in the next. we're working it. we're working up to it. >> yes. >> yes. >> now, still to come, we're going to be going back to bromley latest the bromley for the latest on the expansion horrible ultra expansion of the horrible ultra low emission zone. this is britain's on gb the britain's news on gb news, the people's channel. >> temperature's rising. >> the temperature's rising. boxt proud sponsors of boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on gb news . weather on gb news. >> hi there. >> hi there. >> it's aidan mcgivern here with the gb news forecast from the met office. >> a lot of cloud around today and there'll be rain or showers for many of us, but the brightest skies will be in the north, albeit with some heavy downpours, especially for northern scotland. that's where

good morning . this is britain's good morning. this is britain's newsroom on gb news. andrew pierce is in the studio, as always, but i am out in bromley in kent this morning because, of course, ulez take hold. today is the day that london's ultra low emission zone doubles in size, expanding from eight to all 32 boroughs, making it the largest car charging zone in the whole world. is it a war on motorists? certain petrol and diesel vehicles will now have to pay £12.50 a day or risk a whopping £90 fine. >> and of course , it's bank >> and of course, it's bank houday >> and of course, it's bank holiday and the travel chaos . holiday and the travel chaos. thousands of brits are still stranded abroad after a uk air traffic fault yesterday. the fallout could last for days . fallout could last for days. and as i would like to know what

you think. email us your views at gb views. gbnews.com. but first, here's your morning news with . ray with. ray >> thanks, andrew. rapidly approaching 11:01. our top story , the transport secretary has told gb news an independent review will take place following massive disruption to air travel. mark harper says he hopes airlines will be stepping up to their responsibilities , up to their responsibilities, making sure that passengers get back home. thousands of passengers are still waiting for their flights after air traffic controllers had to manually input flight plans yesterday . input flight plans yesterday. although national air traffic services has now resolved that problem , they are warning of problem, they are warning of continuing delays while backlogs are cleared. travel expert simon calder told us it's had a major impact. >> i had counted over 1200 flights cancelled and that is 200,000 people waking up this morning where they didn't want

to be. and i dare say a few places of work will be looking a bit empty today as people can't get home and i'm afraid things are getting worse before they get better . british airways and get better. british airways and easyjet have got around 60 cancellations each today . that cancellations each today. that represents another 20,000 or so travellers . travellers. >> well, london has become the world's largest pollution charging area after the ultra low emission zone was expanded to cover the whole of the caphal to cover the whole of the capital. drivers whose vehicles don't meet minimum emission standards when entering the zone will now have to pay £12.50 a day. however transport for london is offering grants to residents and to businesses for scrapping non—compliant vehicles. trans sport secretary mark harper told us earlier on that the mayor went about the plan in the wrong way. >> i don't have the power to stop it coming into force.

that's a decision for the mayor of london, backed by the labour leader . i of london, backed by the labour leader. i think he should think again . he says this is to do again. he says this is to do with air quality. his own impact assessment says this will only have a minor to negligible effect on air pollution . it's effect on air pollution. it's not about air pollution . it's not about air pollution. it's about a money raising exercise . about a money raising exercise. and this is absolutely not the time to be putting all those costs on hard pressed and hard working londoners and those in the area outside london. >> and that's the government view. but mums for lungs campaigner karina fernandez says mayor khan did make the right decision in. >> i myself have spent a lot of time in hospital with my son who has asthma. i'm asthmatic also myself, both of us really, really feel it on high pollution days and to sit by my son's hospital bed not knowing whether or not they're able to bring his asthma control, which is asthma under control, which is clearly exacerbated by pollution . when you think about little children's faces , they're about children's faces, they're about the height of your average exhaust pipe .

exhaust pipe. >> two men are in hospital after a number of stabbing incidents at london's notting hill carnival. we should be able to cross now to our home and security editor mark white in north—west london, mark, good morning. some pretty shocking reports of violence against the pubuc reports of violence against the public and the police to yes , public and the police to yes, for the second year running, notting hill carnival was marred by significant violence on the final evening . final evening. >> we're at the scene of the most serious incident in which a 29 year old man was stabbed and critically injured at 9:00 last night, an hour before that, a 19 year old man was stabbed and serious , injured. he's in serious, injured. he's in a stable condition in hospital . stable condition in hospital. add to that, six other men between the age of 18 and 40 who were also stabbed during the evening but received non non—life threatening injuries. police say multiple officers were assaulted, weapons seized, including firearms . they are

including firearms. they are going to review the events of yesterday with a view to determining whether there need to be changes as next year. >> mark white there in north—west london. we'll bring you more on that story as we get it. now shop price inflation has shown signs of slowing reaching its lowest rate since october last year , according to the last year, according to the british retail consortium , british retail consortium, pnces british retail consortium, prices rose by 6.9% in the year leading up to august eight. that's down from 8.4% in july. and the fall has been attributed to a slower rise in fresh food pnces. to a slower rise in fresh food prices . as the nhs is expanding, prices. as the nhs is expanding, blood pressure checks in local communities to help prevent heart attacks and stroke use. high street pharmacies delivered just under 150,000 thousand checks to over 40 year olds in the year to may more than double the year to may more than double the number the previous year. now, this new funding will see a further 2.5 million checks carried out and it's thought that it could help to prevent more than 1300 cardiovascular

events each year. this is gb news across the uk on tv , in news across the uk on tv, in your car, on digital radio and on your smart speaker by saying play gb news now let's get back to beth and . andrew to beth and. andrew >> well, it's finally law after much wrangling and a high court challenge by a number of conservative boroughs, the ultra low emission zone has been expanded to cover all 32 boroughs. stanley johnson , boroughs. stanley johnson, veteran environmental campaigner , delighted to say, joins me in the studio . so the tories think the studio. so the tories think for once , stanley they've got for once, stanley they've got something with which they can really take the fight to labour because they saw what happened in the by—election, in the uxbridge by—election, triggered by the resignation of a boris johnson. they a certain boris johnson. they held to on that seat against the odds when they lost two seats in different parts of the country on a crushing swing to the other side, i think the tories are seriously barking up the wrong tree if they think that

attacking ulez is going to be the secret of success at the next election. >> and in fact, you could argue, since you mentioned the former mp for uxbridge and reisner, you could argue that maybe the victory in uxbridge was a little bit of a residual admiration and memory and recollection of the former of the former mp. i say to get some sound, you know, i'm old enough to remember a great tory triumph . and what was that? tory triumph. and what was that? it was the 1956 clean air act based on four years later, the 1952 smog in london. as i say , i 1952 smog in london. as i say, i was old enough. i was school. i remember it all now. it would be really , really crazy for the really, really crazy for the conservative to say, okay, for electoral gain , we are going to electoral gain, we are going to dump quite a lot of our environmental policies, including this. today for me is a moment of great rejoicing. instead of saying this is expanded ulez zone is that largest charging zone in the world. why don't call it the

largest anti—pollution exercise? largest anti —pollution exercise? and largest anti—pollution exercise? and we are still way above w.h.o. guidelines for air pollution and we really are. so yes, we've had huge improvements. so your correspondents have pointed that out in air quality over the last decadesin out in air quality over the last decades in london. but there's a long, long way to go. and this charge, this policy is absolutely vital. and the tories will be betraying themselves, betraying their own environmental record if they dump it. >> but i'm not a scientist, stanley. but there is increasing evidence that a lot of the pollution that's caused by cars isn't coming out of the exhaust pipe. it's coming from the vehicle tire, it's coming from the pollution thrown up the particle pollution thrown up by tire, much more so than by the tire, much more so than the what's coming out of the exhaust pipe. so shouldn't we aren't looking in the wrong aren't we looking in the wrong place? >> p- p of the particles >> well, some of the particles are also coming out of the exhaust pipe. i mean, that's the 2.5 whatever it is. the 2.5 ppm or whatever it is. the particle pollution. but we have to look at all aspects of the and in fact, there's an argument that, you know, the sheer weight

of the new vehicles is one of the problems as well in terms of road damage and so on. now the car has to be looked at. it has to be disciplined and it has to be brought in to the way we live. and i think, honestly, this is part of part of doing the right thing . i have just as the right thing. i have just as you know, come back from eight weeks in china. i've been going to china on and off since 1974 when i first went to china. the air pollution was horrendous. it got worse at the end of the at the end of the 70s and 80s. but now i tell you, beijing , for now i tell you, beijing, for example, is a transformed city and so is most of the other. and why are they transformed? because they've had massive because they've had this massive shift towards electric vehicles in the cities. >> trouble is, electric vehicles are expensive. stanley people have scrap their car if they have to scrap their car if they can't pay the £12.50. can't afford to pay the £12.50. the scrappage scheme is £2,000. you that towards a new car. you put that towards a new car. what a new car. if you're to going buy a new one, £30,000, i talk some van drivers, a

talk to some van drivers, a business. i talked to for a piece i did in the mail on saturday. yes, he has a wholesale grocery business. five vans, he has to replace vans, three. he has to replace at a cost of £100,000. he's 65. he doesn't want that level of debt. he's closed the business down. that's heartbreaking. fine 86 year old business. but you're barking up the right tree there in in your comments. in your in your comments. >> yes, there is a case for >> and yes, there is a case for helping help young people at the margin who do have the kind of situation you describe . but situation you describe. but actually, look, if you look at the which are the number of cars which are non—compliant , it is a very, non—compliant, it is a very, very small number, relatively speaking. we're going back , i speaking. we're going back, i think it's 2005 for petrol vehicles in 2016 for diesel vehicles in 2016 for diesel vehicles . so, yes, what the vehicles. so, yes, what the government and this case, what the local government acas tfl ought to be doing is really looking again at some of his compensation schemes, the scrapping scheme , the schemes scrapping scheme, the schemes for, you know , alternative for, you know, alternative systems. i think one of the schemes you can get is yes, you get money, but you also get you know, transport passes there know, transport passes and there must be lot more cars who are

must be a lot more cars who are not compliant standing because the projections his own the projections in his own financial hall by financial report to city hall by the mayor, khan, in 2005, the mayor, sadiq khan, in 2005, the mayor, sadiq khan, in 2005, the ulez will be bringing £1.1 billion in revenue. >> that includes the fines, of course, which are £180, not 90, 180, unless you pay up in 14 days. >> well, of course , now you do >> well, of course, now you do raise raise an intriguing point. i've been rather singing the praises of the of the mayor and warning against the tory mayoral candidate, making this her main plank. but of course , right to plank. but of course, right to say, was there more in this than meets the eye was said he'd gone sort of running out of money and did he think this was a useful, useful measure? well who can say yeah, couldn't you persuade yeah, why couldn't you persuade bons yeah, why couldn't you persuade boris to run again mayor boris to run again as mayor >> walked last time. he >> he walked it last time. he won twice. he'd it again won it twice. he'd walk it again in against the deacon, and he'd . he'd it on a platform you . he'd do it on a platform you wouldn't course wouldn't approve of. of course it he would scrap up it would be. he would scrap up the expansion of ultra low emission zone day one. emission zone on day one. >> very much he would do >> i very much doubt he would do that. he could relaunch

that. he could he could relaunch his political career. >> i don't he do that. >> i don't he would do that. >> i don't he would do that. >> mean, my recollection is >> i mean, my recollection is that it was as mayor of london, he brought in first stage. he brought in the first stage. >> opposes the expansion. >> but he opposes the expansion. >> but he opposes the expansion. >> first of ulez. >> the first stage of ulez. i haven't a chance to talk to haven't had a chance to talk to him enough on this one. i would to hope persuade him that in the long reducing our pollution long run, reducing our pollution is absolute priority . he of is an absolute priority. he of course the you see the figures , course the you see the figures, it's very difficult to pin down how many deaths and years lost or lost through air pollution . or lost through air pollution. it seems to vary between 4000 a year to 40,000 a year. you can't pin it down. but nonetheless, look at in in the broad. in the broad, what we're doing today is a matter of rejoicing. >> he is your car ulez friendly i >> -- >> he -_ >> he well, lam >> he well, as a matter of it, it is a matter of fact it is. and even my old one, which was the 2005 super forest , was the 2005 super forest, was actually amazingly ulez friendly. and the new one will be two. >> do you think this do you think just finally , i talked to think just finally, i talked to labour about this a lot and

they're very nervous about it, very about of very anxious about it because of what happened the what happened in the by—election. and they say they think would like think it would be like the congestion once congestion charge once it once it settles down. i'm not so sure they're right because £12, £0.50 a day of the week, a day every day of the week, every week. it's a every day of the week. it's a lot money if you're on lot of money if you're on a fixed income. and also if you're running a small business and you need a van or a lorry or as i say , as i understand it today , i say, as i understand it today, i have read in in the newspaper and i may be wrong about that if it was in my newspaper, it was in the daily mail. it must be true. >> i have read that that van, small van man, white van man, can actually also set off against his tax return . the against his tax return. the payment that's true. >> they can write it off to their tax, but that means people outside of the ulez zone are using their hard earned taxes to subsidise white van man in london. >> well, so they should. so they should. we are talking about something which is not actually their fault, which is the general increase in pollution and the polluter pays principle

appues and the polluter pays principle applies here and it is absolutely right that society as absolutely right that society as a whole should help with this. >> all right. that's a robust defence the ultra low defence of the ultra low emission zone. don't forget, it was boris johnson certain boris johnson, as of london who johnson, as mayor of london who introduced emission johnson, as mayor of london who introdwhich emission johnson, as mayor of london who introdwhich is emission johnson, as mayor of london who introdwhich is beingmission johnson, as mayor of london who introdwhich is being expanded, zone, which is being expanded, he implacably opposes the expansion. his old man expansion. unlike his old man stanley , who thinks it's a good stanley, who thinks it's a good idea. we're going to go back now live to brompton bromley with bev turner, who's getting reaction expansion the reaction to expansion on the ground. bev >> thank you, andrew. that's right. i'm down here on bromley high street, fantastic fruit and veg market here. i'm going to talk in just a moment to one of the people who runs that stall. will tell us how it's affecting their but i their business. but i was talking a little bit talking just a little bit earlier local mum who earlier to a local mum who wanted to tell me her thoughts on the issue. she saw us there with gb microphone and with the gb news microphone and this parisa had to say. this is what parisa had to say. >> what we do at the moment we walk a lot and we use the bus a lot in winter. >> yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. in the snow. >> loads of european in

with ulez today ? with ulez today? >> the problem is obviously £12.50 a day to come to work with two vans to make sure we get enough stock looking at £25 a day. so that cost has got to come from somewhere. and unfortunately it means our pnces unfortunately it means our prices go up. so it hits the public. >> and when i got down here just just before as we were setting up, you were saying that a colleague of yours can't now drive the van to your store? yeah he kind of lives at the end of high street, so it's of the high street, so it's a 250 yard drive and that's going to cost £12.50 a day just to come out short distance. >> so he's now lost van and >> so he's now lost his van and walking work just to keep walking to work just to keep costs down so can keep our costs down so we can keep our costs down so we can keep our costs too. cost living costs down too. cost of living crisis is helping the public and you've had warning, of course. >> tfl would say sadiq khan, the london assembly would say, we warned james, this warned you, james, this was coming. scrapped coming. you haven't scrapped your a new one. your van and got a new one. >> and if you look at the prices of the used vehicles from a year ago to today, they've up by ago to today, they've gone up by more £2,000 scrappage more than the £2,000 scrappage allowance allowing

allowance that he's allowing us. >> that because , do you think >> is that because, do you think that people who are selling second hand compliant cars have put up for very put the prices up for that very reason? they're in reason? they know they're in demand? yes. >> supply and demand. >> yeah. the supply and demand. so seen an opportunity >> yeah. the supply and demand. so they'veeen an opportunity >> yeah. the supply and demand. so they've taken1 opportunity >> yeah. the supply and demand. so they've taken fullportunity >> yeah. the supply and demand. so they've taken full advantage and they've taken full advantage of it. and it just impacts local businesses, footfall of customers. if you're bringing customers. so if you're bringing your two vans here today to put all this fantastic produce and we need more people like you running these small businesses, we don't just want to buy all our fruit veg from supermarket. >> look how wonderful this is. and how will you manage that £25 extra a day. you're just going to it on to the customer. to pass it on to the customer. >> have to pass it on. and >> we'll have to pass it on. and it's same. we've obviously it's the same. we've obviously we to the other market we speak to the other market traders down and be traders who come down and may be in position. the price in the same position. the price increase go on to the increase will just go on to the general public because we can't afford to not do basically general public because we can't aff01are) not do basically general public because we can't aff01are your do basically general public because we can't aff01are your customers ally general public because we can't aff01are your customers very and are your customers very wealthy people? and are your customers very wealthy they le? and are your customers very wealthy they be able to pay you >> will they be able to pay you an few pounds? i can see an extra few pounds? i can see somebody queue behind somebody in the queue behind laughing suggestion. laughing at that suggestion. >> i'm a regular customer and can imagine time the can you imagine a time when the pnces can you imagine a time when the prices have to go up?

>> sadiq khan use when he's talking about the talking about ulez and the expansion is safety. expansion of ulez is safety. simon says this is for your simon he says this is for your safety, for the public, the safety, for the public, for the london people. this is going to keep you safe. >> well, if he's more worried about doing about safety, i'd be doing something crime. something about knife crime. more die through more young people die through knife through knife crime than die through asthma year . knife crime than die through asthma year. that's the asthma each year. that's the sort of thing. so it shows how he's his priorities wrong. he's got his priorities wrong. it's to do with it's got nothing to do with safety it's all safety in that sense. it's all to with money raising. go to do with money raising. go back to one, follow the back to square one, follow the money. i say this to every money. and i say this to every news channel out there. follow the money. >> khan will be very >> sadiq khan will be very popular other global popular today with other global leaders who are very tied into agenda 20 and 30. the global movement of travel towards net zero and towards the banning of petrol and diesel cars. in fact, by 2030 is he showboats a bit, do you think, on the global stage? because he now has the largest ulez zone in the world, you'd have to ask him whether he's showboating. >> can tell you this, if >> but i can tell you this, if it's doing for his own ego, it's doing it for his own ego, thatis it's doing it for his own ego, that is another reason not to do it. you should be doing it for

what good and what is right. what is good and what is right. and said, everybody knows and as i said, everybody knows that air pollution the that the air pollution on the tube is far, far worse than it is around here. and even in central it's far worse central london, it's far worse than here. so why than it is out here. so why isn't tackling that if you isn't he tackling that if you knew there was a problem with air pollution somewhere, you tackle that first, wouldn't. tackle that first, you wouldn't. then people then go and punish the people who's do with. okay. >> well, local councillor simon fulthorpe, thank you so for fulthorpe, thank you so much for joining bromley this joining us here in bromley this morning. to read you morning. i just want to read you a bit what sadiq khan a little bit of what sadiq khan has said, this morning. has said, andrew, this morning. he a landmark day. it he said it is a landmark day. it will lead greener, will lead to a greener, healthier london and sadiq khan says the evidence shows that says all the evidence shows that it's clean air zones like ulez that changer in a that are the game changer in a city london. city like london. >> all right. that's bev turner. and going back bev and we'll be going back to bev in bromley. >> he's also said in an interview he's done the morning round interviews this round of interviews this morning, the morning, which is more than the labour they've ducked labour party has. they've ducked out because they don't out of this because they don't want be about ulez. he want to be asked about ulez. he says, accept that ulez was a says, i accept that ulez was a factor relation to uxbridge says, i accept that ulez was a fact rise relation to uxbridge says, i accept that ulez was a fact rise oflation to uxbridge says, i accept that ulez was a fact

patrick christys on gb news. i'm gb news radio . gb news radio. and it's 1125 here with britain's newsroom on gb news

with andrew pierce and bev turner. >> well, bank holiday, my word . >> well, bank holiday, my word. air travellers are now facing days of disruption after a massive system failure yesterday in britain's air traffic control system. tens of thousands of people stranded on one of the busiest travel days of the year. didn't they see it coming ? i'm didn't they see it coming? i'm going to go now to will hollis, who's our east midlands reporter will, you're at the airport there. how bad is it? how bad is there. how bad is it? how bad is the disruption? yes talk about the disruption? yes talk about the wrong thing at the wrong time. >> this was the year that was supposed to reimagine the travel industry , especially after that industry, especially after that really difficult period getting over covid and all of the problems with holiday last year. so many being cancelled, people being forced off of planes on the runways. this was the year that was supposed to bring back to some sort of normal standard. well, of course, we had the wildfires across europe . and wildfires across europe. and then for people that were thinking maybe towards the end of the summer for that bank

houday of the summer for that bank holiday getaway , they'd be able holiday getaway, they'd be able to jet off on one of the planes. that appears to be a riding just behind me now at east midlands airport and get a bit of a break or return from their late summer holiday. no, they weren't able to get that because this air traffic control problem that we've been hearing about since around midday yesterday, yesterday afternoon has caused some of the biggest disruption that we've seen in air travel for a decade now. the nats, that's the national air traffic control service, they say that this is something that hasn't happened for ten years. they manage the air traffic services for pretty much every airport , for pretty much every airport, as well as about 250 million passengers flying in. and out of uk airspace . in any given normal uk airspace. in any given normal yeah uk airspace. in any given normal year, he pre—covid . so what? year, he pre—covid. so what? we've got a problem now is the fallout from what happened yesterday. they say that they've identified and remedied the problem with their system. that

meant that they had to input all of the flight data manually . of the flight data manually. their automatic systems went down. that was fixed at around 4:00 yesterday. but now people are still stuck on the other end of their destination where they were hoping to return back to the uk yesterday or in the early hours of this morning . what hours of this morning. what we've heard from the transport secretary earlier today on gb news is that this could go on for quite some time, for a few days. he also told us this morning that it wasn't a cyber security attack. it was simply a technical fault. as i said , that technical fault. as i said, that has been remedied now. now, the advice for people that are still stuck in this problem is to get in touch with the civil aviation authority . if you think that authority. if you think that you're having a problem that's worth getting in touch with that national body, you should be provided with at least food and dnnk provided with at least food and drink and accommodation . if you drink and accommodation. if you need an overnight stay at wherever your airport is, your

destination, those are very much the basic minimum . but also your the basic minimum. but also your advice is to get in touch with your airline to find out what's going on, particularly because as the people that fly our planes, our pilots and the attendants that work on them are displayed right. they're all over europe right now in places where they might not have expected to be, and particularly one of the crucial things is that they're hours have changed. so they won't actually legally be to fly in the way that be able to fly in the way that they would have been expected to certainly over the last 24 hours. so definitely get in touch with your airline to find out is going to happen . if out what is going to happen. if you hoping to be getting on you are hoping to be getting on a the near future. a flight in the near future. >> right. that's will >> all right. that's will hollis, midlands reporter hollis, east midlands reporter who's at east midlands airport. we're back in we're going to be back in bromley turner the bromley with bev turner on the as just a few hours old as it's just a few hours old now. ulez the ultra low emission zone has been expanded. i was talking lots people down talking to lots of people down there. whom aren't very there. most of whom aren't very happy. there. most of whom aren't very happy going there. most of whom aren't very happy. going to happy. but first we're going to get headlines now because get the headlines now because you're newsroom get the headlines now because yotgb newsroom get the headlines now because yotgb news newsroom get the headlines now because yotgb news headlineszwsroom get the headlines now because yotgb news headlines with om

telegraph about woke police. nigel you, of course, are the high priest of woke. we might . high priest of woke. we might. so come on foam at the mouth. >> thank you for that introduction . this is mark introduction. this is mark rowley, the met police commissioner and he wants to stop his officers getting involved in politics. round of applause . so some of that, some applause. so some of that, some of it makes sense. the idea is you don't wear badges apart from a poppy you don't wear badges apart from a poppy or or a police memorial badge or a healthy hero's wristband. everything else is banned. wristband. everything else is banned . so yeah, fairly sensible banned. so yeah, fairly sensible . i mean, he'd be quite right. you don't want police cars decked out in rainbow flags any more than you want them covered in the officer's favourite football team. that makes sense. but he's also banning things like they mustn't take the knee at a black lives matter protest first they mustn't dance with extinction. extinction rebellion activists . well, hang on, i say activists. well, hang on, i say good. activists. well, hang on, i say good . you don't think? do you

good. you don't think? do you not think, though, that. >> no, i want them to arrest them. not to dance with them, but. >> exactly. but isn't the isn't the answer to actually be flexible about things like this? no.and flexible about things like this? no. and if some kind of engagement with the protesters. no. works as far as policing goes, it's good that they do it to punish them because the police are there to be a neutral policing body. >> now, i was at the lockdown protests. i was at the first from the first one to the last one. i was at the lockdown process. i saw how aggressive the police were with me. i had a policeman on the first protest come scream in my face. so come and scream in my face. so you know, they're not allowed to have not. have opinions. they are not. they're there police. they're just there to police. they're just there to police. they're be bending the they're not to be bending the knee doing tiktoks or dancing knee or doing tiktoks or dancing or that. they're or doing any of that. they're and paid to be the and they're paid to be the police. they're supposed to be neutral they're to uphold police. they're supposed to be neu right. they're to uphold police. they're supposed to be neu right. i they're to uphold police. they're supposed to be neu right. i don't re to uphold police. they're supposed to be neu right. i don't care uphold police. they're supposed to be neu right. i don't care whatld the right. i don't care what their opinion is, their job is to what i'm arguing is to uphold what i'm arguing is that if you can defuse tension. but doesn't but doesn't , but it doesn't but it doesn't, it stick themselves

it causes more stick themselves to the ground. >> they will not get out of the way of ambulances. they will not get the way people get out of the way of people going to work. and then you've got idiot officers got idiot police officers dancing even dancing with them, causing even more all those things don't >> well, all those things don't happen at the same time. >> makes a mockery of the >> it makes a mockery of the law. >> makes a mockery of >> it really makes a mockery of the also takes into the law. and it also takes into complete disregard what the majority of the british public want. law there want. you know, the law is there to our rules and our laws to uphold our rules and our laws as the majority of the british public, in. public, we vote them in. >> giving the police a human >> but giving the police a human face must the law. >> we they are not allowed >> we they they are not allowed to have these woke opinions. they are driving the public pick off police. i don't trust off the police. i don't trust the after having the police anymore. after having a shouting my face, a policeman shouting my face, i'm quite dubious about how i'm now quite dubious about how i'm now quite dubious about how i behave with police. and was. i behave with police. and i was. i behave with police. and i was. i very law abiding and i am still very law abiding and trusted the police and was always there for the police. then that happened and i'm seeing all these other different things they've they're things that they've they're bending and bending the knee here and dancing upholding dancing there and upholding things. maybe you should things. well, maybe you should have he should have have to me, he should have engage with you. >> you wouldn't. you >> maybe you wouldn't. you wouldn't them engage

wouldn't distrust them to engage with wouldn't distrust them to engage witii just want to do their job. >> but you don't want them shouting in your face either, do you? no. >> but that wasn't doing their job well, the point i'm making is >> well, the point i'm making is that the flexibility that that's why the flexibility would exist. so as can would exist. so as you can actually defuse tension if actually defuse a tension if it's remember for it's possible. i remember for instance, just had the instance, we've just had had the notting hill carnival police notting hill carnival and police danced with the with with everyone first everyone there. when i first went the notting went to the notting hill carnival , was went to the notting hill carnival, was hiding with went to the notting hill carnival , was hiding with the carnival, i was hiding with the police a dustbin lid as police under a dustbin lid as bncks police under a dustbin lid as bricks over it. surely it's bricks came over it. surely it's better to join in with people if you it doesn't take their you can. it doesn't take their neutrality does . it's neutrality away. it does. it's not expressing an opinion. not about expressing an opinion. it's . it's different. >> about a kind >> you're talking about a kind of that's very of carnival that's very different protest. there's different to protest. there's two things going two different things going on there. the carnival. >> carnival was used to turn into riots the point i'm making. >> how many stabbings were at this still not this one? there's still not serious one last night. >> they're investigating. >> they're investigating. >> thank you much. it's >> thank you very much. so it's still not great? >> right. no, >> no, no, that's right. no, there stabbings last night, >> no, no, that's right. no, the and stabbings last night, >> no, no, that's right. no, the and you tabbings last night, >> no, no, that's right. no, the and you do bings last night, >> no, no, that's right. no, the and you do tend last night, >> no, no, that's right. no, the and you do tend to st night, >> no, no, that's right. no, the and you do tend to getight, >> no, no, that's right. no, the and you do tend to get that. so. and you do tend to get that. but but the idea that it doesn't turn a riot anymore or may turn into a riot anymore or may have something do with a have something to do with a rather gentler policing

rather gentler form of policing and actually joining and the police actually joining in bit with the revellers, in a bit with the revellers, gentler form of policing doesn't is same as joining in is not the same as joining in there things. there to different things. >> don't think the police >> yes. i don't think the police should this heavy should be this heavy handed entity . if we're going to have a entity. if we're going to have a carnival, let's do it nicely. you don't have to join in. you have to be the police. >> we're to going move on because rwanda, remember rwanda, we going to deport we are going to deport illegal migrants rwanda. hope we are going to deport illegal misome; rwanda. hope we are going to deport illegal misome point. anda. hope we are going to deport illegal misome point. nigel hope we are going to deport illegal misome point. nigel let's hope we are going to deport illegal misome point. nigel let's go ope we are going to deport illegal misome point. nigel let's go toe at some point. nigel let's go to you . tonya, the home secretary you. tonya, the home secretary >> yes. i mean, the real problem here and has been throughout many years, and especially since brexit is the economic court of human rights . brexit is the economic court of human rights. i brexit is the economic court of human rights . i mean, sorry, the human rights. i mean, sorry, the european court of human rights, the ec echr we need to get out of that because they are anti british. they they want us not to have any british traditions . to have any british traditions. they are an unaccountable outsider and they take our laws into their hands and do what they want with them. so the first step to get anything done in britain is that we have to

leave it. that's the most important thing that needs to happen rwanda, with many happen with rwanda, with so many cases overturned. cases and being overturned. >> home secretary has >> and the home secretary has actually attacked court for actually attacked the court for being that being politicised, she has that she's the court for she's attacked the court for being politicised and everybody is that is in agreement now that they should that the should we should leave that the whole of leaving for whole point of leaving for brexit most british people, the point was to be able point of brexit was to be able to country autonomously to rule our country autonomously . me now, nigel, when the european court of human rights decided took the decision to block the flight to rwanda, which had been agreed through the british parliament, we were never told the name of the judge. the the identity, the country they're from or even their gender out rageous secretive and appalling when we've got our very own sophisticated judiciary in this country which is the envy of the world, i would argue and at the moment, the judiciary in this country are putting a block on rwanda at this point. rwanda as well at this point. >> this point, yeah, we'll >> at this point, yeah, we'll have to see what the supreme round round against. we'll round one round against. we'll have the supreme have to see what the supreme supreme back. supreme court comes back. >> senior judge the

>> the most seniorjudge in the land agrees with the idea. >> yes. >> yes. >> i mean, or didn't object to it. no. >> i mean, at the moment that the courts have ruled going to sending to rwanda legal, sending people to rwanda legal, the or the concern now is whether or not actually is a safe not it actually is a safe country. that is what the supreme is deciding at the supreme court is deciding at the moment. would it comes to the supreme court is deciding at the mome|they're.d it comes to the supreme court is deciding at the mome|they're.d it anti—british e supreme court is deciding at the mome|they're.d it anti—british . echr? they're not anti—british. half their decisions have gone in our favour and some half haven't . another another half haven't. another another half haven't. another another half haven't. they have . haven't. they have. >> when our when our courts and our justice >> when our when our courts and ourjustice system has said something , then that should be something, then that should be it. it shouldn't be. then well hang on somewhere else should we not? >> should we not as a country be part of a of a club where you decide the acceptable forms of international behaviour ? we international behaviour? we criticise russia for the invasion of ukraine. very difficult to do that. if we end up on the same side of russia and get chucked out or leave the echr we're in the we're in the united nations, we're in all sorts. well, there's another example.

>> i mean, why do we need to be in the european court? do you think the british judiciary is good hs think the british judiciary is good its job? good at its job? >> well, not a question >> well, it's not a question about whether it's good. and i think it is whether it's good at its job. it's often, often a question what parliament question of what parliament does. for instance, does. take, for instance, the one that recently one that's that came up recently because the government has been apologising rising to armed forces , veterans who were gay , forces, veterans who were gay, who were chucked out of the army or jailed for that. who were chucked out of the army orjailed for that. now, who were chucked out of the army or jailed for that. now, that was an echr decision to remove the gay ban in the armed forces. everyone now agrees with that decision. but they didn't agree with it at the time. in 2000 when it was made. >> and right . we're pressure of >> and right. we're pressure of time. we want to rattle through these stories because as the other school rule uniform, now you've both been your parents. yeah. when i was a kid, i used to wear my brother's hand—me—down school jacket. it was too big for me because he was too big for me because he was a bit bigger than me. but you put up with it lots of kids had hand—me—down jackets.

you put up with it lots of kids had hand—me—down jackets . mine had hand—me—down jackets. mine did. yeah, but now it's becoming really the average child will go through how many items of school uniform over the years. >> it says 945 items of school uniform costing almost £1,800, but still . but still, my but still. but still, my argument for that is, do you know what it would be like if they didn't have that uniform? so i am a real advocate for school uniform. yeah, me too. because it would be a nightmare in the mornings, you know, trying to decide what they want and especially when, you know, rich afford named stuff rich kids can afford named stuff poor that kind of poor kids can't. so that kind of immortalises of that. immortalises all of that. the problem with lot of the problem i have with a lot of the uniforms is that the schools that decide that they want bespoke so instead of bespoke ones. and so instead of being able to go to a supermarket and get a jumper for £12, have buy the bespoke £12, you have to buy the bespoke one 30. and that's where one for 30. and that's where real problems come in. >> the yeah, agree totally with that. yeah. i if that. yeah. i mean if you actually all this actually insist on all this agreement. yes well we disagree on the previous two items that if you have a designated school uniform shop, you've got to go to, you'll pay more. yeah so

school uniforms should be much more generic. you can get a badge to put on your blazer. that's the sort of thing that you need. and that would keep the cost down for parents. >> yes, i completely agree. and also children's, because >> yes, i completely agree. and also got children's, because >> yes, i completely agree. and also got two children's, because >> yes, i completely agree. and also got two girls'en's, because >> yes, i completely agree. and also got two girls'en's,two:ause >> yes, i completely agree. and also got two girls'en's,two boys. i've got two girls and two boys. the two and number four the number two and number four always hand—me—downs, did always wore hand—me—downs, did they? mind ? >> and didn't mind? >> and didn't mind? >> care. >> i don't care. >>— >> i don't care. >> no . yeah. i mean, let's be >> no. yeah. i mean, let's be honest. i'm sure they did, but i don't care . don't care. >> i was number four, so i got my brother's hand—me—downs. yeah, right. but i didn't mind. yeah, right. but i didn't mind. yeah, it is. what yeah, that's what it is. what was done? well, my. >> my kids were different genders, so was a more genders, so it was a bit more tricky. >> w- >> right, right, right. >> right, right, right. >> now we've got time for one last one. i can't believe this. this is in the mail. tonya tell me sombrero . yes. what is me about sombrero. yes. what is the hell is happening now at reading festival now, right. >> they're talking about cultural appropriation. that whole phrase makes me so cross. i mean, i just don't understand it. i'll give you an example of why it's complete rubbish. my

cousin married a sri lankan woman and i here's the girl's mother said to me , would you mother said to me, would you like to wear a sari? and i thought, how lovely. i'll wear a sari to a wedding. and you know who was upset about it? the greek lot. because the greek lot wanted me not to wear the sari because then i'd be, you know, i'd siding with the i'd be kind of siding with the sri lot. so it just shows sri lankan lot. so it just shows you that real people have no problem this. know, my problem with this. you know, my sri lankan family wanted me to wear if you want to go wear a sari. if you want to go in full greek dancing woman garb and and your and you're british and your whatever are, do it's whatever you are, do it. it's this stupid rules that just are ridiculous. this stupid rules that just are ridiandjs. this stupid rules that just are ridiand so what's happened >> and so what's happened here with the sombrero, then? who's banned i mean, it's banned it? well i mean, it's been banned at various pop festivals. >> it's ready festival at the moment. yeah. the reading festival. they're banning moment. yeah. the reading festivalnow./'re banning moment. yeah. the reading festival now. and)anning moment. yeah. the reading festival now. and the ing that selling now. and the point that richard littlejohn in the mail makes is he wore an army makes is that he wore an army surplus jacket to the 1970 isle of wight pop festival. my parents wouldn't allow me to go to that. it didn't mean he'd appropriated the parachute regiment, but i think he makes a very good point there.

>> yeah, he often does, i'm afraid. that's it from tanya buxton and jonathan there, of course. with another course. be back with us another time next, the live time. up next, it's the live desk with mark longhurst and pip tomson. but first, we're going to word from to get a final word from beverley turner, who is down there in where is she? she's in kent talking about the expansion of the ultra low emission zone. bev thank you guys. >> i'm sorry i wasn't in the studio today, but it's been really interesting here down in bromley this morning. just one message here. this is a bit of a morality tale for you all. this is one viewer, diana local two here. she says she checked her car on the website ulez car reg on the website ulez website three times in the last month was told that her car was compliant . today, she logged on compliant. today, she logged on for final check and suddenly for a final check and suddenly the said that her car was the site said that her car was not compliant. diana says, i'm 74 years old. i'm now left with the prospect of having to fork out for a new car. suddenly or not be able to do the shopping or go out with the car. so check, check if your car is
