spraying some of the cameras with red paint . with red paint. >> well, yes, indeed. no, this has been an absolute hotspot for vandalising the cameras, apparently about 9 in 10 of the cameras have so far been vandalised . but that kind of vandalised. but that kind of 9 in 10 figure is doing the rounds a lot at the moment because that's the same number of cars that's the same number of cars that sadiq khan says are actually ulez compliant . look, actually ulez compliant. look, it might not like but it might not look like it, but i'm actually one of the most i'm actually on one of the most controversial roads for the whole roll scheme whole capital's roll out scheme here road, and here it is chatterton road, and this about mile and a bit this is about a mile and a bit outside of bromley, which is a heck long way outside heck of a long way outside central london. and the fact is that a lot of people around here are saying, we don't are saying, well, we don't really understand why we would have ulez have to be dragged into a ulez charge. £12.50 a day is the amount of money that people are paying amount of money that people are paying to move their cars if their car isn't compliant. not to say that it's been a bit hit and around here would be an and miss around here would be an understatement. which is why i am at a cafe called hit or am now at a cafe called hit or miss, and i'm going to come in and talk to a range of different

scrapped my van when it opened and i offered £5,000 and i was offered £5,000 to scrap van. i raided my scrap my van. i raided my savings and got myself into some high interest debt to buy ulez friendly car. it's the right thing to do. i'm a single mum. i work a lot look after my work a lot to look after my family and when they sent family and. and when they sent me cheque the beginning me the cheque at the beginning of it bounced of april, it bounced and i called them and said, they've called them up and said, they've got a problem. they said there's an indefinite timeframe on on how with so how we deal with this. so i've written sought written letters, i've sought legal advice, found out that it is to dishonour a cheque is illegal to dishonour a cheque and know what the next and i don't know what the next move is, think i'm going move is, but i think i'm going to file the courts to. to file at the courts to. >> but aren't. but you are. >> but you aren't. but you are. despite that, actually despite that, you are actually in favour of ulez, aren't you? >> yeah. yeah i think if we are, if we're creating problems with pollution , driving pollution, driving certain vehicles, making vehicles, if we're making a mess, have to clean it up . we mess, we have to clean it up. we have and we're all part of have to and we're all part of it. of my income it. so regardless of my income status , i support it. status, i support it. >> and i'm going to move it on now. i'm going to move it on now. i'm going to move it on now. and what was your name again? sarah. sarah oh, there you go. easy to remember that. i

should have got first time should have got that first time round, i? now, just round, shouldn't i? now, just quickly, are quickly, sarah, you are. you are also in favour ulez. lot of also in favour of ulez. a lot of people this high street are people on this high street are concerned that it might put them out it might reduce out of business, it might reduce footfall. next door, they're hairdressers next door, they're saying might saying that people might not come out of town because it come from out of town because it basically adds £12.50 to the price haircut. what do price of their haircut. what do you of that? you reckon to all of that? >> i'm very sympathetic those >> i'm very sympathetic to those people, but there are buses and trains which you can get if you don't to pay that. don't want to pay that. so pubuc don't want to pay that. so public transport to be public transport needs to be used and the most of the used more and the most of the cars vans compliant. cars and vans are compliant. it's cars, 80% vans and but it's 90% cars, 80% vans and but 100% of will benefit from 100% of people will benefit from cleaner okay. cleaner air. okay. >> right. interesting stuff, >> all right. interesting stuff, right? let's just back it right? well let's just back it up bit here. and you up a little bit here. and you might be able to see quite a few david things. it's david bowie themed things. it's because bowie, kind because david bowie, well, kind of so far down the of grew up not so far down the road here and was filming a lot of music videos here as of his music videos here as well. going be stationed well. i'm going to be stationed in around bromley all day, in and around bromley all day, and i'm going be speaking to in and around bromley all day, a|variety]oing be speaking to in and around bromley all day, a|variety ofng be speaking to in and around bromley all day, a|variety of different speaking to in and around bromley all day, a|variety of different peopleg to in and around bromley all day, a|variety of different people aso a variety of different people as we discuss, frankly, as well. one most controversial one of the most controversial policies times . back to policies of our times. back to you the studio .

you in the studio. >> patrick, thank you so interesting views there. let's get another interesting view from mcdonald , who is from claire mcdonald, who is a member of mums for lungs. good afternoon to you, claire. i have anidea afternoon to you, claire. i have an idea of what your view is on this. how are you feeling today or your thoughts today and what difference do you think it's going to make in the long term in i think the ulez expansion is great news for londoners as air pollution is a public health crisis. >> it kills 44,000 londoners each year . 250,000 children >> it kills 44,000 londoners each year. 250,000 children in the capital have asthma and 28,000 of them are are hospitalised each year. we know that the ulez brings down air pollution in the centre of london. when it was introduced last, it brought pollution down by 50% and when it was introduced to inner london, it brought nitrogen dioxide levels down by 21. so we know it works

in a way that , you know, we need in a way that, you know, we need to respond to air pollution in a community way rather than as individuals. and the ulez works. >> what would you say to those people who are really hit in the pocket by this? and it is actually causing such massive disruption to their lives or even person lives? i was reading one elderly gentleman was saying he can't afford to go and see his children or his grandchild because it's going to cost him so much a week with this with this charge . this charge. >> oh, yeah, i have a huge amount of sympathy. i feel like it's such a difficult situation for people to be put in. and i and i think it's wrong that we're putting this situation personally. we have a family business and we do heavy deliveries every day. and we had to get rid of our van because it wasn't ulez compliant when our area went into the ulez last in 2021. and we didn't have a scrappage scheme and we couldn't afford to get a new van. so

we're having to cobble together our deliveries using sort of hire cars and zip vans and but what think feel is that we are being made to choose between our livelihoods and our family and our family's health and our children's health. and it just feels like that's really unhelpful to putting livelihoods against children's health so well, in other words , perhaps well, in other words, perhaps there should have been more help for those with businesses, for instance, to help them get over maybe an extended scrappage scheme or a bit more money. oh, yeah, definitely . i think the yeah, definitely. i think the government should step in in in the way that it has in other clean air zones, in other parts of the country. it's provided funds, but it hasn't done for london and i think that's hugely problematic . problematic. >> okay. and to just look at the bigger picture, i mean, is the problem, i think they've identified the nitrogen oxides. this what comes from diesel this is what comes from diesel vehicles in particular in the particulates. and that's really what lungs in terms of what harms the lungs in terms of the asthma and so on.

>> yeah. so nitrogen dioxide comes from sort of fossil fuels, from burning petrol. it's a gas . and the other thing that's really worrying is particulate matter and that's the dust that comes from brakes and tires . comes from brakes and tires. >> so even without the problem about the fuel, it's just the vehicles moving along the road producing this stuff . producing this stuff. >> yeah. and that's why electric cars are also still polluting and because they're heavier , and because they're heavier, they actually create more dust, more particulate matter from their tires because they're heavier . heavier. >> yeah. so just to put it into into some context for people, the damage that air pollution does, how does that compare to, say, the damage that smoking does ? does? >> well, i think there was a report out today that say that it was actually the same it was as damaging . and i think we all as damaging. and i think we all understand that smoking is bad for our health. um but in the way that we don't necessarily quite understand yet about the impact of air pollution. but but

actually the science is catching up and we do know now that it is incredibly bad for our health. >> yeah, but interesting point, as you said, about the electric vehicles, think is the vehicles, which we think is the answer everything. answer to everything. but of course, particulate still course, the particulate is still being produced. claire, thank you very indeed your you very much indeed for your time. mums time. joining us there from mums for lungs. but as we mentioned to gb news has identified at to gb news has now identified at least four fake websites hitting the internet today , the first the internet today, the first day of the expansion of the scheme. >> um, let's speak to derek mitchell , sun, cyber security mitchell, sun, cyber security expert at derek for fake websites. what more can you tell us about this and how many people could this potentially hit ? hit? >> it could potentially hit hundreds . we always find that hundreds. we always find that fake websites appear round about the time where we've got some events it could be. >> we saw that during the vaccination when we let people apply for vaccinations, we see it during black friday for amazon events. these fake websites appear and again today , given the launch of the

expanded ulez , these websites expanded ulez, these websites tend appear and they tend to tend to appear and they tend to appear quite high up in the search rankings, they're search rankings, and they're quite in way quite sophisticated in the way that they're presented. >> forward . >> and put forward. >> and put forward. >> absolutely. so they appear there's two types of websites you find. >> one could be a clone of the original website. they look very similar. you think you're at the original website, but you're not. the second one could an not. the second one could be an intermediary website that in fact you're going them and fact you're going to them and they then forward they actually will then forward across the first type the scamming website will take your payment more. the payment and do no more. the second type may well pay the fine for you or the charge, but they will take administration they will take an administration costs paying more. costs so you end up paying more. >> so how can people distinguish between on the real website and the fake one? what do they need to do? >> so the good thing is it's not too difficult to distinguish . too difficult to distinguish. first thing is the real website does have what we call the end of the domain. that's a bit that you in the top of your you see in the top of your browser that says org .uk. and given that only given its org that only government agencies can register

these websites. secondly if you do a search for it, find the website that's not sitting under a line that says sponsored find the proper tfl website. tfl gov.uk and click on that. i would bookmark that and have that saved in your favourites. you can go back to that any time. there's also a padlock that appears at the top of the browser. click on the padlock and that will tell you that you're correct website. you're on the correct website. that's been validated. so three tips to you can tips there as to what you can do, right? tips there as to what you can do, so ht? tips there as to what you can do, so just to reiterate on that >> so just to reiterate on that last one, on the on the genuine website, there is a padlock logo that click on top that you can click on the top corner where the where corner next to where the where the website name is padlock logo. >> click on that. it will say connected and will tell you connected and it will tell you this been validated this website has been validated and validating on and it's validating you're on the correct website and that website a spam website isn't just a spam website isn't just a spam website . website. >> now the other thing >> got it. now the other thing is i guess you're paying by is i guess if you're paying by credit card , you will have some credit card, you will have some kind of fallback, some kind of security with your credit card company. if you go through onto a scam website . a scam website. >> yes, absolutely . >> yes, absolutely.

>> yes, absolutely. >> you can you can actually claim that money back from the from the website if you've been fraudulently done out of that money. so, of course, you can do that. a debit that. it's different for a debit card credit card, but card from a credit card, but that's would be doing. if that's what i would be doing. if you think you've been the you think you've been on the fake website, get in touch immediately your credit immediately with your credit card see what card company to see what payments they payments going through. they might to stop it. might be able to stop it. certainly should be able to certainly you should be able to get that money back. >> thanks very >> derek, thanks very much indeed. sound and of indeed. that sound advice and of course, be careful where you click, as they say. derek mitchell security expert, mitchell, cyber security expert, thanks . thanks very much. >> well, very shortly we will be bringing you lots more about the chaos in the skies, because around 200,000 travellers have been affected by those delays and cancellations ins after that technical issue with air traffic control yesterday . we'll bring control yesterday. we'll bring you the latest. now, though , you the latest. now, though, your weather forecast . your weather forecast. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers. proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news.

>> 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 low pressure is as a little frontal system is also affecting much of wales and southwest england. that's bringing a lot of cloud and some longer spells of generally light , but occasionally moderate rain and drizzle moving slowly through wales in the south—west into the midlands a little bit later on, drier towards the south—east, albeit cloudy, sunshine and showers for scotland, northern ireland and northern england . the heaviest northern england. the heaviest of downpours for northern of the downpours for northern scotland cool. 21 scotland will feel cool. 21 celsius the afternoon high in the southeast. now that system that i mentioned, bringing the cloud and rain or drizzle to central parts, that clears into the southeast through the evening. some heavier showers developing alongside it. but either way, it's out of the way. by either way, it's out of the way. by dawn , showers continuing to by dawn, showers continuing to feed into the north and

northwest. but some clear spells emerging and a cool night to come. a bit more comfortable for sleeping than, i suppose , at sleeping than, i suppose, at times last week. then into the start of wednesday, we've got some sunshine about first thing, still some showers coming into the north and west, but increasingly by the afternoon , increasingly by the afternoon, the heaviest and most frequent showers will be in the northern half of the uk. driest towards the south and southwest. and feeling warm in the sunny spells, 21 celsius. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, proud sponsors of weather on .

through until 7:00 this evening. gb news is the people's channel. britain's watching . britain's watching. >> and welcome back to the live desk. now, it's estimated around 200,000 travellers are still being affected by delays and cancelled plans after that technical issue brought down the uk's air traffic control system. and then in the past few minutes , downing street has said it cannot rule out the possibility that an inputting error by a french airline may have caused the disruption on the pm's official spokesman. going to on say that airlines should be taking every possible step to communicate passengers as communicate with passengers as the air traffic control fault has been fixed. >> but departure lounges abroad are full of passengers as are still full of passengers as airlines scramble to clear the backlog. and we're being warned that the disruption could continue for several more days . continue for several more days. >> well, we've got disruption at

heathrow and gatwick scores of flights being hit there . but flights being hit there. but let's travel now to the east midlands airport and join will hollis, where you found probably the only airport in britain that's operating pretty much as normal. will >> yes, well, east midlands airport like to talk about how the airport is well known for freight , but the airport is well known for freight, but it the airport is well known for freight , but it also the airport is well known for freight, but it also is really good for getting out for holiday destinations to europe , destinations to europe, particularly to places like the canary islands because of its small stature when compared to things airports like heathrow, it tends to be the east midlands airport . it tends to work as it airport. it tends to work as it should do, even when there are these times of crisis. i've just had a little bit of a look at the latest statement from east midlands airport, which is run by the manchester airport group, which course runs manchester which of course runs manchester and stansted airport as well. and they say that while they

seem to be working as normal, their terminals are going to be busier than usual and airport staff are working closely with agents and the airline to try and get people to their destinations or back from their destinations or back from their destinations as safely and quickly as possible. this is something that's been going on for about 24 hours now since the nats. that's the air traffic control service , said that they control service, said that they had a problem, a technical issue with their systems. it was specifically to do with the fact that they couldn't alter matically process flight plans. so everything was having to be done manually. so planes in the air were having to be delayed and input manually, something that takes much longer for. meanwhile, planes that are actually on the ground with with passengers not actually in the air yet, they were either cancelled or delayed heavily . cancelled or delayed heavily. now, what we've been hearing

. 1230. >> here's our top stories. 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 , making sure responsibilities, making sure that passengers get home. thousands are still waiting for their flights after air traffic controllers had to manually input flight plans yesterday, although national air traffic services has now resolved the problem, they're warning of continuing delays while backlogs are cleared as well, as we've been hearing, dozens of anti ulez demonstrators are now protesting outside downing street . some have been seen street. some have been seen carrying mocked up car registration plates, reading , registration plates, reading, get khan out. it's after the ultra low emission zone was expand to cover the whole caphal expand to cover the whole capital. drivers whose vehicles don't meet minimum emission standards when entering the zone will now have to pay £12.50 a day. prime minister rishi sunak, speaking earlier, said that the mayor went about the plan. the

wrong way . well, two men are in wrong way. well, two men are in hospital after a number of stabbing incidents at london's notting hill carnival. 29 year old is in a critical condition and 19 year old is in a serious but stable condition. both were stabbed yesterday evening as the festival came to a close . police festival came to a close. police say six other men, aged 18 to 40, sustained non—life threatening injuries in separate stabbing incidents . meanwhile, stabbing incidents. meanwhile, the met police federation saying that 75 officers were assaulted at that event, including one sexually relaxing environmental rules will help lead to the construction of 100,000 new homes in england by 2030. that's according to the government. eu era restrictions currently mean that housebuilders must consider the impact that new developments may have on rivers and waterways. but the government says new housing contributes a small fraction of pollution and easing the rules could lead to an £18 billion boost to the

economy . meanwhile, economy. meanwhile, environmental campaigners are warning that changes could just allow developers to cut corners as you can get more on all of those stories by visiting our website, gbnews.com .

gb news radio . now let's update

gb news radio. now let's update you with some pictures from outside downing street with anti ulez demonstrators protesting and carrying placards saying stop the toxic air, lie and ulez all about money. >> yes, you might not be able to appreciate the size of the crowds there, but there are dozens of people lining that road to downing street. they're blowing whistles, they're banging others have banging drums. others have carried mocked up car registration plates which are reading get khan out . reading get khan out. >> well, rishi sunak has joined the debate, hitting out at the london mayor, sadiq khan , saying london mayor, sadiq khan, saying that he was opposed to the expansion expansion of ulez. this is the prime minister telling broadcasters i think people and families are struggling with the cost of living. he also had his thoughts on expanding housebuilding and also the issue of airline passengers . this is what he had passengers. this is what he had to say to journalists a little earlier. >> well, unlock 100,000 new homes in community is where people want those homes to be

built. that's fantastic for young first time, buyers also will provide an £18 billion boost to our economy and support tens of thousands of jobs. and we're able to do this because previously it was a disproportion and poorly targeted old eu ruling that blocked these homes. thankfully, we can now reverse that. and alongside that, we're investing hundreds of millions of pounds to continue protecting and enhancing our precious natural environment . environment. >> you say you care about the environment. >> we've got north sea exploration . we've got a new exploration. we've got a new coal mine in cumbria. you say you're the of the motorist. >> how do you square that ? >> how do you square all that? >> how do you square all that? >> think what most >> well, i think what most people agree me that, people will agree with me that, of we want to get to net of course, we want to get to net zero, but we just want to do that in a proportionate and pragmatic way that doesn't unnecessarily families pragmatic way that doesn't unn

reduce carbon emissions and when it comes to tackling pollution in our rivers, announced in our rivers, we've announced a plan for water. >> and that was that. maybe the £0.50 in the metre run out there. however, we didn't get on to the air traffic control, did we? well, let's get on to it right now because we can tell you that the estimate is there are 200,000 passengers still still stranded abroad and mark harper, the transport secretary, ordering an independent review of what's happened in terms of the air traffic control system . the air traffic control system. he spoke to us a little earlier i >> -- >> this was a technical fault. we do not think there was a cyber security incident . isn't. cyber security incident. isn't. and what will happen now with an incident this magnitude is incident of this magnitude is there will be an independent review of the civil aviation authority , will be putting authority, will be putting together a report in the coming days, which obviously i will take a look at to see whether there are lessons to learn for there are lessons to learn for the future, to see whether we can the impact of this. can reduce the impact of this. again, it's nearly a decade since there a significant since there was a significant issue this, and to issue like this, and we want to

make doesn't happen make sure it doesn't happen again of all the again because of all the disruption been caused disruption that's been caused to thousands of passengers across the around the world. >> well, we can speak to travel correspondent for the independent , correspondent for the independent, simon correspondent for the independent , simon calder. good independent, simon calder. good afternoon to you, simon. we'll get on to the disruption for passengers in just a second, but we have just heard that this could be due to an error with the french air traffic control. can you just explain what what may have happened here? >> yeah, and this is pure speculation. i can't give you anything more than speculation because the nats, the national air traffic control service has not responded to my inquiries. and so therefore, i can only enter the realms of speculation. and that is that i've heard from more than one source that there was a flight plan filed which was a flight plan filed which was simply faulty. it was incompatible with the nats system . and what should have

system. and what should have happened was that the system should have just said, well , should have just said, well, that's a load of rubbish and rejected it. but instead it appeared to have accepted it and through some curious kind of corner of the immensely complex air traffic control system , it air traffic control system, it made , urged to take everything made, urged to take everything down. and yes, you can see the effect of that 200,000 people at least waking up this morning where they didn't expect or want to be. now the interesting thing is, simon, in the past few minutes, we've had number 10 downing street not ruling out the possibility that the inputting error by a french airline could have caused the disruption, which itself is telling them. >> they're not actually denying that. and we've got this independent review being carried out harper has ordered out that mark harper has ordered into or may not have into what may or may not have happened at swanwick. but the other prime other issue is the prime minister's spokesman also saying, rightly expect all saying, we rightly expect all airlines to be fulfilling their dufies

airlines to be fulfilling their duties as carriers should be proactively communicating with passengers about their rights, which may be indicating they don't believe they are at the moment. >> oh no, of course they're not. and i've heard from multiple passengers on multiple airlines saying that the airline has just let them down. the airlines know exactly what the rules are because they've been in force for about the last 15 years. the airlines also know that because they were written to , in no they were written to, in no uncertain terms, a year ago by the civil aviation authority that they are expected at times of disruption to put people and systems in place, particularly to look after people who perhaps are not adept at fixing up alternative flights and finding hotels and so on. and the airlines have failed to adhere to that presumed thinking. actually, we don't need to do this. we would we pay any penalty if that happens. now obviously they will eventually

get a get some kind of kick in the pants. i think . but at the the pants. i think. but at the moment, it's just miserable for passengers and for ministers to come out again and just say, well, this is what the airlines are supposed to do without. there being any significant enforcement. i'm afraid , is enforcement. i'm afraid, is a sign that we really need more action on it. the airlines, of course, absolutely hate this. they've already lost. i calculate, around £80 million as a result of this. and they'll be having some interesting discussions with the air traffic control provider to find out how they're going to recover some of that. >> i was going to ask, are they able to recoup from nats this this outfit down at swanwick because they are a commercial organisation, effectively? >> sure. yeah. well, i imagine that discussions are going on. airliners are airlines are actually shareholders in nats and so therefore that can that might slightly compromise what

they are asking for but most definitely and it may be that if there is something which can show that the air traffic control system did not work with reasonable wasn't organised with reasonable wasn't organised with reasonable care and skill, then at that stage , even individual at that stage, even individual travellers can start to trying to reclaim losses such as all the people who didn't manage to get to work today and are probably losing their wages. >> simon yeah, we've heard you loud and clear, but unfortunately we're getting a bit of a break up on the signal there in estonia. but we'll try and get back to you a little later to get an update. but thank you very much indeed for updating us. and just remind updating us. and just to remind you, the airlines are liable you, the airlines are not liable for because this is for compensation because this is extraordinary circumstance outside of their control. however, they are duty bound, as simon says, provide you with simon says, to provide you with accommodation and food and drink. >> yeah. do you get in touch with us? if you are stuck, we would like to hear your stories, maybe actually you as

maybe actually talk to you as well. gb views at gb news.com now something completely different. the government is set to embark on a house building bonanza as housing secretary michael gove is set to disregard hard eu era water pollution restrictions. >> well, under these plans, rules on the so—called nutrient neutrality are designed to ensure that the building project does not increase nutrient levels in the waterways, will become advisory , and that means become advisory, and that means local councils could ignore them to increase house building. >> if successful up to 140,000 new homes could be built in england. well to tell us more about this is gb news is deputy political editor tom harwood. tom, the prime minister has been accused of not really caring that much about the environment and this announcement today really seems to support that. doesn't it ? doesn't it? >> well, this announcement today rolls back a ruling of the european court of justice that implemented policy across the united kingdom, now affecting .

united kingdom, now affecting. one quarter of councils in england. >> so far, expected to be rolled out further as time goes on. that means that if you want to build a house in these areas so far that are under the nutrient neutrality guidelines as they're known, they would need to offset the amount of phosphorus or nitrates. >> that may well be emitted. and that means that housing developers have been expected to buy up farmland elsewhere in the country, turn it into wetlands or turn it into woodland. >> and of course , that can cost >> and of course, that can cost a lot of money. >> it can cost more than £10,000 per house being built. and so in the areas where these rules have been implemented so far , what been implemented so far, what we've seen is a dramatic fall in house building. of course, this has only been the case after 2018. after this eu court of justice ruling was delivered and

it has meant a huge change to the landscape of building in this country . the the landscape of building in this country. the home builders federation estimates around 160,000 homes that were going to be built now can't be under those rules. so the government is rolling back those rules, making them advisory and at the same time, it's delivering a different way of approaching nutrient neutrality. it's delivering a way in which there can be investment at at source. and indeed the government isn't the state investing in the sort of wetlands and water processing plants . it's important at this plants. it's important at this point to remember this isn't to do with sewage in rivers . this do with sewage in rivers. this is about phosphates and nitrates that come about from construction . construction. >> but environmental groups are saying it's still pollution . and saying it's still pollution. and given the course, the outrage over what's happened to our rivers and beaches with sewage pollution, is this a high risk

strategy electorally ? strategy electorally? >> well, on the one hand, it might risk upsetting environmental groups . on the environmental groups. on the other hand, we've seen what's happenedin other hand, we've seen what's happened in the netherlands, where the same ruling has meant incredibly harsh regulations put on farmers and farms because, of course, another thing that releases nitrates into the into the ground is of course farming actually to a larger degree than house building does. and we've seen farmers in the netherlands commit suicide as a result of this ruling. we've seen a new political party in the netherlands spring up as a result of this ruling and upset the entire political circumstance in that country. on the one hand, there's that risk for the government if they didn't do anything about this ruling in the united kingdom. but similarly, of course, there are risks on the other side for the government about environmental groups trying to tie this together with the scandal of waterways being impure through to sewage. and so

the government has a tightrope to walk here, of course, but ultimately it might think that the housing crisis trumps the other issues here. after all, this ruling from the ecj has only been about since 2018. >> a bridge over troubled waters. tom in our westminster studio, thanks very much indeed i >> -- >> the metropolitan police have confirmed that two men are in hospital following a spate of stabbings at the notting hill carnival yesterday . one of the carnival yesterday. one of the men is in a critical condition. the force confirming six others received non—life threatening injuries in separate stabbings and a total of 275 arrests over the two days of carnival for a range of offences, including possession of offensive weapons , assaulting police, drug possession and sexual offences. >> the police saying that the occasion marred by serious violence . let's get more with violence. let's get more with our gb news home and security editor mark white, who's there near one of the location where

the stabbing took place. and clearly a major criminal investigation underway now . mark investigation underway now. mark >> yeah , we are just at the >> yeah, we are just at the scene of that most serious incident that happened at about 9:00 last night. incident that happened at about 9:00 last night . a 29 year old 9:00 last night. a 29 year old man received multiple stab injuries and is critically ill injuries and is critically ill in hospital at this hour. injuries and is critically ill in hospital at this hour . about in hospital at this hour. about an hour before that , down in an hour before that, down in ladbroke grove, another stabbing incident in which a 19 year old man received serious injuries. he is reported to be stable in hospital at present . and then, hospital at present. and then, as you mentioned, yes, six other incidents in which people were stabbed, people all age ranging from 18 up to 40, as police deau from 18 up to 40, as police dealt with, sadly , a very dealt with, sadly, a very violent end to the carnival. it happened last year as well after a few years, of course, it was covid when we didn't have carnival for a couple of years ,

carnival for a couple of years, but even before that it wasn't as violent as. it was this year. and last year on the monday night and it always appears to be at the end when police are trying to disperse. people encourage them to go home, that there are those in the crowd that do not want to do that, that do not want to do that, that react very violently towards the police. and then we see the results. of course, the other incidents, of course, are often scores settling gang violence that erupts during the carnival as well . all 275 is the carnival as well. all 275 is the total number of people who have been arrested for a variety of offences , including the offences, including the possession of dangerous weapons. we know that in one incident, a firearm arm was seized by police officers there also reporting that multiple police officers were injured during the carnival, including one who was bitten. others who were sexually assaulted . and speaking to some

assaulted. and speaking to some police officers, as i have done this morning, there is a great deal of anger that they have tried their best to sort of over the years evolve their approach to be much more approachable all and to police accordingly at carnival and it doesn't seem to help whatever they do at the end of carnival , there is always of carnival, there is always this propensity for scenes of violence. and once again, that was borne out. >> but by and large, mark, across the weekend, detectives are praising the positive and good natured atmosphere . the good natured atmosphere. the >> yes, absolutely. i mean, there are hundreds of thousands of people that come to carnival and you can't forget that the vast majority of people are here to enjoy the event peacefully. and they did just that. but clearly , there were hundreds of clearly, there were hundreds of others judging by the fact we had 275 arrests as a small

proportion of the overall number. but they can sadly mar an event and mar the reputation of event of the event because instead of talking about, you know, the joyous occasion that carnival was for so many, we're talking about the fact that eight people were stabbed . and eight people were stabbed. and now, of course, today is the clean up job. you've got the local authorities who are in there making sure that the streets around notting hill are clean once again , clean of clean once again, clean of things like this. you can take a look around. that's the nitrous oxide gas everywhere you look are these canisters that people were inhaling during carnival itself as well. the government in the process of making it to illegal carry those. but at the moment , it's illegal carry those. but at the moment, it's not illegal to carry them . carry them. >> but clearly the focus once more back on on knife crime as well. mark, thanks for updating us there at the scene. as we were saying, critical injuries will update you on any more that we get on that as well. mark,

thanks very much indeed. stay with us here on gb news. >> we will be talking about the air traffic control meltdown, which is affecting so many of you at the moment. well, downing street ruled out the street hasn't ruled out the possibility inputting possibility that an inputting error by a french airline could have caused all that disruption . we'll have more on that very .we'll have more on that very shortly . shortly. >> the temperature's rising . >> the temperature's rising. boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> 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 low pressure is. a little frontal system is also affecting much of wales and southwest england. that's bringing a lot of cloud and some longer spells of cloud and some longer spells of general light. but occasionally moderate rain and drizzle moving slowly through

for the last hour or so. people started to come here from different parts of london. some have come from outside of london, but their main message here is to say this is not the plan that they think should go ahead. but of course, we do know it's kicking in from today. that £12.50 charge for people living in london whose cars don't meet those mission standards. and of course, this is not just affecting londoners, but people who travel from outside of london, coming into london as well. but the problem is a lot of people are saying we can't afford to buy new cars or new vans. it's affecting businesses, charities and so on. but we've heard from the mayor's office saying this is the right plan . saying this is the right plan. it's going to save lives. it's going to have long term impact that will ensure that people can have good lives and breathe clean air. but of course, some people criticise that as well. but we are kindly joined this afternoon by gemma, who lives in

the area of bromley. thank you so much for your time this afternoon. just tell me why you are here this afternoon and why this is so important to you. >> i'm here today. we've been to most of the protests since january . to be most of the protests since january. to be honest, it's kind of taken over our lives. and that's because as we are just so passionate about what this is doing to people emotionally and financially , we i've heard from financially, we i've heard from parents that are going to be unable to take their children to school without paying £12.50 a day. my sister cares for a 93 year old lady with dementia and she can no longer drive to see her unless she pays £12.50 a day to go and see her. they've built up a bond there , close there. up a bond there, close there. you know, this lady relies on my sister for her personal care, for her everyday care. and now my sister can't go and see her unless she pays £12.50 a day. and for what? you know, that's not paying . that's paying for

not paying. that's paying for nothing. the air is still going to be exactly the same. take the cars off the road if it really is about clean air pay in £12, 50 and still driving your car is just a cash grab . that's all just a cash grab. that's all this is, is a cash grab. it's all about money. we know that there is a scrappage scheme in place so people can take their cars. cdl’s. >> cars. >> this is for businesses, charities and people who have the opportunity to get some for money their car. what do you make of that scheme? it's no good. >> it's not worth the paper it's written on. we have our own tree surgery firm . my partner's van surgery firm. my partner's van is not compliant, but he could get the 2000, i believe, or whatever it is for scrappage. but how do we buy a new van that is compliant for £2,000? there's a cost of living crisis going on. we're already finding it extremely hard to make ends meet £2,000 is not going to buy us a

van and we don't have savings and we are unable to get finance us to finance a new van. so it's everything is just putting people in more and more financial pressure. and i honestly think that come this time next year, i think there's going to be a real rise in mental health and people's suicide rates. you know, i hate to say it, but i've seen people cw to say it, but i've seen people cry over this. i've seen people die oppressed over this this is really, really going to affect people's mental health. it's just not fair. >> gemma, thank you so much for your time. well, as you heard from gemma, she's just one of many who are here who are against these new plans. but we, of course, heard from the mayor's office that this will indeed be positive for people's lives in the long term, despite having to pay £12.50 a day. and of course, i've heard from the transport secretary this morning about how this is going to impact londoners financially, particularly those who are struggling at the moment with the cost of living increasing.

but for now , though, the noise but for now, though, the noise is still increasing and many of those who are protesting will be here for the rest of this afternoon . afternoon. >> theo, thank you very much. possibly some good for news gemma and other van drivers because we were talking about this earlier, weren't we? white van drivers and others that are going in for work can actually claim tax relief on the ulez charge, but it has to be for work purposes, not for commuting. >> so if you do have a white van or a goods vehicle, hmrc is saying you will be able to claim the tax relief on that charge. when you do your accounts. so thatis when you do your accounts. so that is actually one thing that perhaps people should put into the calc relations when they're looking at that £12.50. >> well, lisa hartle gb news is london reporter can now join us from enfield in north london. good afternoon to you, lisa. what have people been saying to you there for? >> hello. well so enfield, north

london and the ulez expansion came out this way today. >> this morning i spoke to a builder called kevin and we're going to hear from him in just a moment. he's got three vans. none of them are compliant. aren't he said to replace all three is going to cost him around £100,000. so he's not quite sure what he's going to do. here's a little clip do. but here's a little clip from had to say. from what he had to say. >> local building contractor >> i'm local building contractor from london. from north london. >> we've traded around this area for over 30 odd years and from today , those three vans, you can today, those three vans, you can see over there are non compliant. so that means it's going to cost £12, £0.50 a day per van before we start any work . i think mayor khan and mark harper could really have got together on this and thought this through a bit more. it's not just me, it's my customers . not just me, it's my customers. cost of living crisis . it's just cost of living crisis. it's just a bit more thought and compassion. i think would have

would have probably got to a more agreeable position with everybody concerned . so enfield everybody concerned. so enfield is a lot of people have been asking me or asking me but say asking me or asking me but say asking the question why is it that on the outer areas of london where pollution isn't as bad, are we having ulez brought in? >> well, i interviewed a scientist last week and he explained to me that areas like bromley, like enfield, are being targeted by ulez to try and bnng targeted by ulez to try and bring that pollution levels down here because he said pollution picks up with the air and moves into places like central london where it much worse. where it makes it much worse. but of course, on the other hand, those people who have been saying of this to me, saying all of this to me, they're saying, yes, we understand air pollution understand that air pollution needs , but why needs to be tackled, but why were only given months were we only given nine months nofice were we only given nine months notice prepare for this? and notice to prepare for this? and it's of living it's during a cost of living crisis. some i've spoken crisis. some people i've spoken to genuinely just don't know to are genuinely just don't know what afford what to do. they can't afford the day and can't the £12.50 a day and they can't afford to replace their vehicle. so left people very so it's left people in a very desperate situation .

desperate situation. >> okay, lisa, thank you for that in london, in that. in north london, in enfield . let's head back south enfield. let's head back south now. we heard of one voice in bromley outside number 10. let's hear another now. daniel madley from daniel's a bromley jewellers who can join us down there in bromley in kent. thank you very much indeed your you very much indeed for your time. just give us a little pen portrait of your circumstances at the moment with this charge coming in today. >> yes, i've been here for 35 years. we've been trading out of bromley as a manufacturing and retail jewellers. we've got through the pandemic, we've got through the pandemic, we've got through the pandemic, we've got through the depression . but this through the depression. but this i think, will actually break us. i think, will actually break us. i am really, really fearful for what might happen in the future and the lack of customers that always came into the shop , always came into the shop, always came into the shop, always travelled here by by their own transport. but now once they've got to pay £12, £0.50 a day, i think it will stop them coming. >> okay. so it's not necessarily

what you're having to pay out yourself in getting from a to b and delivering various items. it's actually the customers coming in into bromley. >> yeah, that's one angle. the other angle is yes , it's costing other angle is yes, it's costing me or it would have cost me 80 something pound a week because i come into bromley seven days a week . my car that come into bromley seven days a week. my car that i had come into bromley seven days a week . my car that i had before, week. my car that i had before, i wasn't ulez compliant. so what i wasn't ulez compliant. so what i had to do was sell it for a fraction of the money and then buy a new car . fraction of the money and then buy a new car. and it worked out to £110 a week for finance and less the £80. and i've ended up buying a brand new car for something like £35 a week. so in one way i've gained , but it's one way i've gained, but it's not right. you shouldn't have to be. i love my old car, but unfortunately it's gone and i've got another car . got another car. >> when you hear about the health warnings, though, that come with the risk of air pollution , do you not think, pollution, do you not think, daniel, that that is a

legitimate argument, especially if you've got children with severe asthma or you're a severe asthma sufferer yourself . asthma sufferer yourself. >> i am an asthma sufferer myself. i've got long term covid. but yes, i agree . myself. i've got long term covid. but yes, i agree. in a london in the inner inner london, yes . london in the inner inner london, yes. but london in the inner inner london, yes . but when london in the inner inner london, yes. but when you come to places like bromley , to places like bromley, orpington, i now live in chelsfield. there are so many open spaces. it doesn't really ring true. and again , if he were ring true. and again, if he were serious, he would have just banned all of them, not put a charge on them. so again, it is a money making machine and i'm afraid it's going to affect so many people, not just in the zone, but people that come from ashford, maidstone , meopham ashford, maidstone, meopham they're going to go somewhere else. they'll probably go to the blue bluewater or lakeside and it's just going to take money away from bromley. >> now, one of the criticisms as well, daniel, was that in the preparation for this, that , you

preparation for this, that, you know, there was a lack of public transport infrastructure . what's transport infrastructure. what's your assessment of how people can get to from a to b in bromley using buses or or even other forms like train and so on? well the trains have never been a problem. >> buses, from what i've seen, there's plenty of buses. as i say, i've moved to chelsfield village in the last six months and from chelsfield to orpington there was plenty of buses. so again , that don't ring true, but again, that don't ring true, but so it's just going to affect the people, especially the older person. sorry no, sorry, daniel. >> i was just trying to just be clear. so there are plenty of buses so people could get on pubuc buses so people could get on public transport to come and see you . you. >> yes. in the immediate area of bromley. yes that's not a problem, but that's not where a lot of our customers come from. right so a lot of our customers come from the south—east of england. >> okay . okay. >> okay. okay. >> okay. okay.

>> so looking at, you know, you've sort of worked out your numbers in terms of buying your car and you've obviously saved a little bit and not having to spend on the ulez, but looking at the business itself , what at the business itself, what sort of hit could you be taking, do you think, in this next 12 months ? months? >> well, obviously, we've got to wait and see. but i anticipate at least a 20% decrease this and something like that in our day and day and age. it's you can't sustain it. do you have fighting to do things to and up everything? >> do you have staff that you employ as well, daniel i mean, might you have lost staff because of this charge being imposed ? imposed? >> well, that will happen . i've >> well, that will happen. i've got three staff at the moment . got three staff at the moment. one of my staff . she's going to one of my staff. she's going to have to pay the ulez charge 6006 days a week. her car doesn't comply. she can't afford to buy a new car. so at the end of the

day, she'll either have to give up work, which is not right. and then she probably will go and claim benefits . and again, that claim benefits. and again, that puts pressure on the government . so they didn't really think it through. it would have been nice if they would have given us more warning or even, as i've heard other people say , that £2.50 other people say, that £2.50 a week to get you used to it. and then gradually a increase, maybe sliding scale just come in. yes, yeah. instead of just coming in with £3.50 a day. i mean it's outrageous really . you probably outrageous really. you probably can't see the frustration that i've got . but believe me, i am i've got. but believe me, i am frustrated . and there's nothing frustrated. and there's nothing we can do. and in actual fact, it makes you and i'm sad to say it, it makes you want to go out and commit crime. it's wrong. but that's what it makes you do. >> daniel, thank you very much indeed for updating us there with the position. daniel of

bromley jewellers, very difficult, isn't it? yeah. just to update you, in fact, there are quite a few cameras there apparently bromley that have apparently in bromley that have had paint over the lenses. i had red paint over the lenses. i think that's what daniel was relating to there. there have been some instances of some vandalism there. we'll update you, of course, as we get more. >> sounds like the reaction >> it sounds like the reaction from people would be quite different if had been handled different if it had been handled slightly better, like what he talked stepped talked about, the stepped increase . increase. >> yeah. but just >> yeah. yeah. but just to update labour indicating update you, labour indicating that the whole idea of ulez, they was introduced under they say was introduced under they say was introduced under the conservative mayor, a certain boris johnson and that the initial expansion of the scheme was suggested by a conservative government . add conservative government. add that to the mix . that to the mix. >> stay with us here on gb news. there's plenty more in the mix because we'll be talking about environmental campaigners who are saying that a government plan to build thousands of new homes lead more homes will lead to more pollution in uk rivers. before that , here's pollution in uk rivers. before that, here's your weather . that, here's your weather. >> looks like things are heating

up. boxed boilers, proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. sponsors of weather on. gb news. >> hello there. >> hello there. >> i'm greg dewhurst and welcome to your latest gb news weather forecast. >> we do have some showery outbreaks of rain clearing south eastwards. and then wednesday will be a day of sunny spells and scattered showers. and that's all down to this area of low pressure just pushing southeast words across the north and east of the uk, introducing that showery weather. and we can see that front across see that weather front across england giving some england and wales giving some sharp of rain this sharp bursts of rain this evening overnight it evening and overnight as it pushes slowly south eastwards, clear on behind clear spells following on behind with a scattering of showers, showers, frequent across showers, most frequent across northern of scotland, northern parts of scotland, perhaps north wales, north—west england, later on to 1 or 2 heavy ones. temperatures a little fresher than recent nights, even in towns and cities. we could go into single figures, but then a bright start to wednesday morning showers , to wednesday morning showers, though, from the word go across the north and the west and through the day. it's generally

a sunny spells and a case of sunny spells and scattered showers. some of the showers could be on the heavy side, there'll be lots of side, but there'll be lots of places stay and enjoy places that stay dry and enjoy some afternoon sunshine, though the cloud will bubble up and temperatures recent temperatures similar to recent days, generally the high teens to low 20s highs around 22 celsius towards the south—east into thursday . a bright day into thursday. a bright day across the north and east of the uk. some sunny spells, 1 or 2 showers, but across the west and south, outbreaks of rain pushing in here, which will turn increasingly heavy and that looks like it will hang around on friday, but then turning much dner on friday, but then turning much drier and brighter as we head into saturday. looks like things are heating up . are heating up. >> boxed boilers, proud sponsors of weather on .

7:00 this evening. gb news the people's channel, britain's watching . watching. >> welcome back to the live desk. let's bring you some breaking news. we're getting from the united states . you may from the united states. you may remember, nathan, whether correspondent updating us on correspondent was updating us on hurricane idalia , warning that hurricane idalia, warning that it would be hitting us later in the week. well, it's starting to intensify considerably between being told at the gulf coast of florida. that's from sarasota up to tampa . we're being told that to tampa. we're being told that people are being urged to evacuate this is by ron desantis, the governor there in a news conference. schools are being closed and a major airport already being closed ahead of landfall tomorrow. they believe

hurricane warnings and watches are in effect for parts of the gulf coast of florida where, of course, many people from the uk do holiday and it is threatening to bring a life threatening storm surge inundation along parts of florida's gulf coast. >> flash flooding and urban flooding. according to the hurricane centre, is also possible . idalia strengthened to possible. idalia strengthened to a hurricane earlier this morning with maximum sustained winds of 75mph. yeah, it's a category three at the moment. >> the storm surge, they think could cause water. the seawater to rise up to 12ft in parts of northern florida , along the northern florida, along the coastal areas, up into tampa. that's why they are so concerned, giving what could be the flooding as a result. ron desantis, the governor, saying this is a major hurricane and urging people to take it very seriously. so we'll be updating you as we get more from the states on that in the last hour,

as we were discussing housing secretary michael gove is set to slash eco bureaucracy as part of plans to build 140,000 new homes in england . well, under these in england. well, under these proposals, the rules on so—called nutrient neutral city designed to ensure building projects do not dangerously increase the levels in waterways will become adviser three. and that means local councils can ignore them to increase their housebuilding. >> it comes just three months after labour leader sir keir starmer said he would give local authorities more power to build on green land. greenbelt land if he were to win the next general election. well, to tell us more about this is gb news deputy political editor tom harwood. tom some environmental groups slam this announcement, but of course, the government has this target, doesn't it? this pledge to build 300,000 new homes every year and it's way off it at the moment . moment. >> it certainly is. now when people might think of nutrient neutrality, they might get a bit

bored. it might sound like something that's irrelevant to sort of how we live our lives, but this particular ruling from the european court of justice came about in 2018. it's been responsible for some pretty profound political consequences . people at home might remember the dutch farmers revolt in the last 12 months. that's all to do with this ruling as well. we saw dutch farmers committing suicide in some cases, a new political party in that country upends playing politics in that country due to the stringent rules that came in. stopping farming as they knew it in the netherlands. well, the way in which it was appued well, the way in which it was applied in the united kingdom didn't apply to agriculture. instead it has applied to housebuilding . that is despite housebuilding. that is despite housebuilding. that is despite housebuilding being responsible for around 1% of the nitrates that are emitted by agriculture and what it means is that if any developer or housebuilder wants to construct a new home in the

areas where this ruling has already been deployed and it's only been deployed in around a quarter of council areas at the moment by natural england, although that is expected had this announcement not come from the government today, that would have been expected to extend to all council areas in england as time went on. but in the areas where it currently has been implemented, we've seen a massive drop in expectations for housebuilding . and why is that? housebuilding. and why is that? it's a ruling that says that new houses can't disturb the neutral quality of the land and at all. it has to be neutral and now that's almost impossible for anyone to do when building. so what's been happening is in order to ensure that near neutrality house builders have had to buy up land elsewhere where and stop it being farmed, turn it into wetland and the like to balance out the project of the house building. and for an individual house that could

run more than £10,000. so it's stopping houses being built. so says the government and the home builders federation. and it's making those houses more expensive . so what the expensive. so what the government is announcing today is that they will suspend that ruling , make it advisory, but ruling, make it advisory, but also on the other hand , make also on the other hand, make sure that there are national government projects to ensure that the nutrient quality of waterways and land is enhanced through treatment and indeed through treatment and indeed through the construction of wetland in and of themselves . wetland in and of themselves. >> but a lot of people might be a bit confused, as you can. how do you offset that pollution when a lot of it is sort of fertilisers and so on leaching through into the water system and of course the nutrient pollution then causes algae blooms and, you know, quite serious pollution . serious pollution. >> well, exactly. that's what the offsetting had been doing, i.e. stopping land being farmed. stop ing fertilisers being used

on that land and therefore turning it into wetland that was doing precisely the opposite of releasing more nitrates into said land . but at the moment said land. but at the moment that has been the onus of people who want to build homes trying to buy up farmland and change it elsewhere . this is shifting from elsewhere. this is shifting from being at the onus of those who want to build homes and onto more of a government project to make sure that the state sets sort of that nutrient neutrality and the home builders can build homes . homes. >> okay, thank you very >> okay, tom, thank you very much indeed that. this is much indeed for that. this is update you the situation with update you on the situation with the flights non flights. the flights or non flights. latest pa today, latest figures from pa today, 281 flights, at least are being cancelled . up to 200,000 people cancelled. up to 200,000 people affected. we'll be updating you live from portugal with those stranded there. first, news headunes stranded there. first, news headlines were .

the inputting error by a french airline could have caused the meltdown down at the uk's air traffic control system. >> the fault has been fixed, but quite why it happened still isn't clear. departure lounges abroad are still full of passengers as airlines scramble to clear the backlog. we are being warned that the disruption could continue for several more days. could continue for several more days . well, east midlands days. well, east midlands airport say they are operating a near normal flight schedule today. near normal flight schedule today . they lucky them. our east today. they lucky them. our east midlands reporter will hollis is there for us. will what is the latest situation there so many other airports not doing as well as east midlands by the sounds of it , yes. of it, yes. >> well, east midlands airport tends to do really well when there are these national problems affecting particularly those major airports like heathrow , particularly because heathrow, particularly because it is a small , heathrow, particularly because it is a small, major airport. we've heard from the airport as you've just said, saying it's a

near normal schedule. but they say that it's going to be busier than normal inside of the terminal. airport staff will be helping agents that work for the airlines, for people that do have a problem. passengers the advice is, of course, to get in touch with your airline and find out what's going on. this has been happening. the effect of the air traffic control systems problem has been happening now for around 24 hours until remotely . we've been told that remotely. we've been told that it's a technical issue . we've it's a technical issue. we've heard from the transport secretary, mark harper, on gb news this morning saying that it doesn't appear to be a cyber security problem. it appears to be a fault with a technical system . that system should have system. that system should have normally, if it was working correctly , we just processed correctly, we just processed flight plans automatically because safety is a priority . because safety is a priority. the team at the national air traffic services, which is the biggest air traffic service in the uk, managing around 250

million passengers in and out of uk airspace . they say that they uk airspace. they say that they have identified and remedied that problem, but of course the effect continues and that's why you are seeing right now pictures of passengers stranded at airports across europe . the at airports across europe. the end of holiday destination zones, particularly places like gran canary and mallorca, places where they were hoping to get a bit of an end of summer or last bank holiday of summer holiday, where there are still quite significant problems and where there are going to be delays for quite substantial, while quite a substantial amount of time probably until the end of the week. yeah, indeed. >> and the estimate at the moment, 200,000 stranded abroad will at that particular airport. thank you for that. let's just remind you the prime minister rishi sunak telling reporters earlier, i know people will be enormously frustrated by the disruption that's impacting them. how badly ? well, let's

them. how badly? well, let's speak to one stranded passenger, richard klaus, who can join us now from madeira in portugal. richard does that make you feel better that the prime minister is thinking about you? >> not necessarily . >> not necessarily. >> not necessarily. >> just just update us. i mean, the sky is blue. and of rac, it looks pretty warm there as well, but frustrating. i guess . but frustrating. i guess. >> extremely frustrating when the airline are not giving you any kind of information regarding where you're going to be sleeping. just cancel the flight, give us a new flight for the 4th of september when we should have been leaving on the 28th of august and now i've had to book a new hotel for myself . to book a new hotel for myself. >> so you are going to be arriving home a week later than scheduled ? i mean, some people scheduled? i mean, some people would go, oh , lucky you, you're would go, oh, lucky you, you're out there celebrating your 30th wedding anniversary, aren't you

heard from the over the heard from the mayor over the last couple of and months last couple of weeks and months about how this is going to be a move which will help people within london considering the millions of cars which are on the roads at the moment. many people different people from different households, not just have one car but have several cars. car now, but have several cars. and saying is to going and he's saying this is to going have implications , have health implications, positive implications positive health implications going forward. but i'm kindly joined this afternoon soon by kingsley. you've been here throughout the day, just tell me why today is so important for you. you've been carrying around this coffin as well. >> well, i mean , the we've been >> well, i mean, the we've been fighting ulez for a very fighting this ulez for a very long time. >> we've persecuted left, >> we've been persecuted left, right and centre. >> we've been called far right. >> we've been called far right. >> sorts >> we've been called all sorts of names. >> wrongly arrested >> i've been wrongly arrested for allegedly taking cameras. >> w- e cleared since >> i've been cleared since cleared all charges. >> i've been cleared since cle.i'di all charges. >> i've been cleared since cle.i'd justall charges. >> i've been cleared since cle.i'd just like harges. >> i've been cleared since cle.i'd just like to ges. >> i've been cleared since cle.i'd just like to add, but >> i'd just like to add, but constantly being attacked from >> i'd just like to add, but con system 3eing attacked from >> i'd just like to add, but con system ,3ing attacked from >> i'd just like to add, but con system , we attacked from >> i'd just like to add, but con system , we that cked from >> i'd just like to add, but con system , we that wed from >> i'd just like to add, but con system , we that we relym >> i'd just like to add, but con system , we that we rely on the system, we that we rely on to keep law and order, to keep democracy intact. but sadiq khan seems to be totally ignoring that his manifesto , he didn't

that his manifesto, he didn't mention ulez. he's a second manifesto. he was directly asked is, are you going to extend the ulez? >> and he said, no. so we feel hard done by because he's done it anyway. >> but we think, well, it's okay because there'll be consultation. >> we had the consultation and not only was negative, he not only was it negative, he manipulated figures to try not only was it negative, he m'make ated figures to try not only was it negative, he m'make itzd figures to try not only was it negative, he m'make it a figures to try not only was it negative, he m'make it a bit figures to try not only was it negative, he m'make it a bit more'es to try not only was it negative, he m'make it a bit more palatable i >> -- >> even after manipulating it, he's still only it down to he's still only got it down to 60. so it's still a massive rejection of ulez. but the thing is, when i listen to sadiq khan today was saying, oh, it was a difficult decision because we got this climate change crisis. well, that's nonsense, because the simple fact is the ulez is making climate change worse . making climate change worse. nobody seems to be grasping the simple concept of just because you've air scheme you've got a clean air scheme doesn't mean it produces clean air. if you take a city car where a transport is where a public transport is quite got night bus quite good, you've got night bus services, you've got a tube service, you've got fairly service, you've got a fairly decent train schools decent train service. schools are supermarkets decent train service. schools are walking supermarkets decent train service. schools are walking distance, permarkets decent train service. schools are walking distance, etcetera,ts are walking distance, etcetera, and you them you've got to and you tell them you've got to sell car someone in the sell that car to someone in the countryside, is basically countryside, which is basically what's

countryside, which is basically whtpeople those city >> people are moving those city cars countryside where cars to the countryside where there are night there there are no night buses, there is it is no tube service. so it doesn't scientist doesn't take a rocket scientist to that car is now to work out. that car is now polluting even more. well done, sadiq where's that's sadiq khan. where's that's that's crisis . and that's the climate crisis. and the thing is, mr city owner now wants to replace that car. so now there's two on the road now there's two cars on the road instead one. now the instead of one. now the counterargument there's counterargument is there's a scrappage , but nobody's scrappage scheme, but nobody's going their £10,000 car going to sell their £10,000 car for £2,000. and indeed, it's not a guaranteed £2,000 either. so some people have been told that they're only getting £500 because, oh, well, we've given it a very low valuation because we don't think it's worth £2,000 and only get that. well it's and you only get that. well it's now been opened to everybody, but bit to open it but it's a bit late to open it to everybody. all this time to everybody. but all this time we've saying, this is we've been saying, look, this is not want tell not enough. if you want to tell me car is not usable on the me my car is not usable on the roads, need to give me the roads, you need to give me the full value of it. >> but that's what's >> but that's not what's happening. it that the happening. it seems that the government to government are powerless to overpower well, overpower sadiq khan. well, that's , but i that's what they say, but i can't. the sceptic in me says, well, they overpowered stormont when they wanted to. they overpowered with

overpowered boris johnson with the cannons they the water cannons when they wanted they wanted to. so they could do they could the gla and say, could shut down the gla and say, you're not acting in the public interest. they're interest. but i think they're just a gift that just waiting for a gift that keeps can say, keeps giving so they can say, oh, you know, susan hall oh, well, you know, susan hall will just be able to walk in. yeah. here yeah. so that's why we're here today. want to rishi today. we just want to rishi sunak to listen. >> very quickly, you've >> just very quickly, you've been attention been getting a lot of attention today. we've this if today. we've got this coffin. if we just tell we can just show it, just tell us you're trying depict us what you're trying to depict here. are walking here. for those who are walking in this area, meaningful, meaningful democrat consultation has passed away because sadiq khan has had a consultation . khan has had a consultation. >> he's ignored it. democracy has passed away because he didn't put this in his manifesto. won't put it until manifesto. he won't put it until the main election next year. if he did and said, you know, he did that and said, you know, vote me in may and i'll vote for me in may and i'll bnngin vote for me in may and i'll bring in the ulez and if he won that and square, we would that fair and square, we would all but not all go home. but that's not what's happening. it what's happening. he's doing it anyway. mandate. anyway. he's got no mandate. he's got consultation. so we he's got no consultation. so we feel democracy passed feel that democracy has passed away. and secondly, we've got this first pass of the post system. sadiq khan allowed this first pass of the post sy�*changeadiq khan allowed this first pass of the post sy�*changeadiq system allowed this first pass of the post sy�*changeadiq system imayoral to change the system for mayoral elections to first past the post. hell he have post. how the hell does he have the power to do that? first past

the power to do that? first past the post is a terrible, flawed system need it. system and we need to scrap it. we proportional we need proportional representation . want representation. we want to resurrect . sadly, we resurrect democracy. sadly, we mourn democracy . mourn democracy. >> kingsley, thank you so much for your time. as you've seen, he's is someone who's been getting attention on throughout the day here with his coffin here. but he's passionate about this and over the last couple of months, he's been pro testing alongside many of others who have been here this afternoon. but for now, though, many people will be here. we've heard from both sides . and of course, there both sides. and of course, there are many passion, passion people who this is going to affect who say this is going to affect their livelihoods and their pocket . pocket as well. >> so, yeah, thank you for that. in . let's actually in whitehall. let's actually just point out as labour says, that actually certain that it was actually a certain bofis that it was actually a certain boris as conservative boris johnson as conservative mayor of london who introduced or developed at ulez, but implemented by sadiq khan and also so sadiq khan saying that this very tough decision, he says , will prevent 4000 says, will prevent 4000 premature deaths a year from dirty air in the capital. just

for a little bit of balance there. >> do stay with us here on the live desk on gb news. we'll be talking about the growing pressure for the spanish football federation. president luis rubiales, to resign over the so—called gate scandal. the so—called kiss gate scandal. coming next, your weather looks like things are heating up. >> boxed boilers, proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. of weather on. gb news. >> hello there. i'm greg dewhurst and welcome to your latest gb news weather forecast. we do have some showers , we do have some showers, outbreaks of rain clearing south eastwards. and then wednesday will be a day of sunny spells and scattered showers. and that's all down this area of that's all down to this area of low pushing south low pressure just pushing south eastwards across the north and eastwards across the north and east of the uk, introducing that showery weather. and we can see that front across that weather front across england giving some england and wales giving some sharp rain this sharp bursts of rain this evening and overnight as it pushes slowly south eastwards clear following on behind clear spells following on behind with a scattering of showers, showers most across showers most frequent across northern parts of scotland,

perhaps north wales, north—west england, later on to 1 or 2 heavy ones. temperatures a little fresher than recent nights, even in towns and cities. we could go into single figures , but then a bright start figures, but then a bright start to wednesday morning showers , to wednesday morning showers, though, from the word go across the north and the west and through the day. it's generally a sunny spells and a case of sunny spells and scattered showers. some of the showers could be on the heavy side, but there'll be lots of places that stay dry and enjoy some afternoon sunshine, though the will up and the cloud will bubble up and temperatures to recent temperatures similar to recent days, generally high teens days, generally the high teens to low 20s highs around 22 celsius towards the south—east into thursday . a bright day into thursday. a bright day across the north and east of the uk. some sunny spells, 1 or 2 showers, but across the west and south, outbreaks of rain pushing in here, which will turn increasingly heavy. and that looks like it will hang around on friday. but then turning much dner on friday. but then turning much drier brighter as head drier and brighter as we head into . saturday into. saturday >> looks like things are heating up . boxed boilers, proud

up. boxed boilers, proud sponsors of weather on .

people's. >> now, let's update you on so—called kiss gate , this sort so—called kiss gate, this sort of soap opera that's almost developing in spain . regional developing in spain. regional representatives of the royal spanish soccer federation demand adding the immediate resignation of luis rubiales for kissing that player, jenni hermoso on the lips at that world cup . the lips at that world cup. >> so far, he has not resigned .

>> so far, he has not resigned. but the federation's move came as the situation has now spiralled into a national row over women's rights, macho behaviour and sexual abuse, with many ministers asking for rubiales to leave his role. >> let's get more now with sports journalist ben jacobs , sports journalist ben jacobs, who can join us. and ben , who can join us. and ben, there's this sort of very strange bureaucratic situation where they can ask him to resign. they can try and suspend him, but they can't sack him. it seems , seemingly at the moment. seems, seemingly at the moment. >> and part of that is also because there's an ongoing investigation. >> so rubiales has been suspended for a period of 90 days whilst fifa to determine whether or not they can proceed. >> and any result of that particular investigation will have a bearing within the football community and how the spanish can act. >> and then at the same time, there's been a preliminary investigation opened by the national court, which is the top

criminal court in spain, to determine whether this would constitute a form of sexual assault. and it would also require within the next 15 days, the player herself, jenni hermoso to potentially file a complaint . so we've got complaint. so we've got a provisional criminal investigation. we've got a fifa investigation. we've got a fifa investigation. we've got the regional leaders of the spanish football federation also calling for the resignation of luis rubiales, and yet he's stuck to his position. and we know a few days ago he said publicly, not once, but three times, he will not resign. so this is kind of becoming spain's metoo moment. but it's also been very poorly handled. and as you say, there's a lot of bureaucratic red tape. and i think if rubiales had apologised and showed contrition and probably stood down as well in the immediate aftermath , then in the immediate aftermath, then he could have prevented what's now become a far bigger scandal and situation for not just rubiales, but the spanish football federation to deal with

a few people. >> it appears to be backing him is his mother. she's on the second day of a hunger strike inside a spanish church . and inside a spanish church. and we're just looking at pictures of that church and outside actually , i think there's quite actually, i think there's quite actually, i think there's quite a few locals as supporters of her gathering . her gathering. >> yes. this is rubiales mother. as you say, angela's bucha, who has locked herself in a spanish church and gone on a hunger strike in protest of what she believes is the treatment against her son. and whereas, you can understand anybody's perspective and a mother sticking up for her son, the protest is very much going against the grain because spanish politics and spanish footballers , 81 players from all footballers, 81 players from all of the women's world cup winning squad and many past players, male players, the wider football community fifpro and i think the average football fan have all

seen the footage and all realised that it was entirely inappropriate to kiss jenni hermoso on the lips. so there's only one way this is going to end, which is eventually through one way or the other. rubiales being removed from his position, but it's very painful. it's very pubuc but it's very painful. it's very public and it shows you that the spanish fa and the wider football culture needs to change because rubiales represents a variety of different problems and this incident has brought them to the fore . and it's such them to the fore. and it's such a shame because we should be talking about the incredible journey of the spanish women's national team winning a world cup . and instead we're talking cup. and instead we're talking about luis rubiales. >> where does spain's coach figure in this? because he seems to have been a little silent, doesn't he ? doesn't he? >> well, jorge vilda came out and said that rubiales is behaviour was inappropriate, but there are a variety of figures, including vilda, who was sitting including vilda, who was sitting

in the room when rubiales said that he wasn't going to resign and they were either applauding or nodding or didn't speak out at that time . and that was at that time. and that was probably the time to speak out. now i think everyone is speaking , including vilda. but remember , he's had his own scandal in the build up to the world cup. 15 players originally said they wouldn't play for him because they like the management they didn't like the management style and wanted structural style and they wanted structural changes within the spanish football federation and the women's team specifically, and only three those 15 ended up only three of those 15 ended up to going the world cup. so this is back to back scandals in between winning women's world between winning a women's world cup one for coach before cup one for the coach before thatis cup one for the coach before that is still ultimately ongoing and now luis rubiales , the and now luis rubiales, the president of the spanish . so president of the spanish. so it's not a good look. and again, we should be talking about the football and sadly, we're not. >> now, where do we go from here? because we've got the spanish fa, we've got uefa, we've got fifa at the top of the tree who have suspended him, i think a 90 day period. do they

actually have the power in their disciplinary weaponry, if you like, just to remove him eventually ? eventually? >> well, there's a lot of appeals processes. so the short answer is yes. but the long answer is yes. but the long answer is yes. but the long answer is no. and that is particularly important to stress . if there is to be a process within spain's national court. so fifa effectively will have to bow first and foremost to a criminal case should one progress and then based on the result of that, they can act within fifa . they could also within fifa. they could also take steps to remove rubiales. but there's a lengthy appeal process that could ultimately see him go to the court of arbitration for sport. so if rubiales wants to stay in his position , he can fight this over position, he can fight this over many weeks, which is unfortunate because it will continue to create headlines . but because it will continue to create headlines. but fifa technically have the power . technically have the power. okay, it's a bit more complicated than that. >> there's quite a glittering occasion tonight, isn't there, ben? the football player of the year award . who do you think is

year award. who do you think is going to take the top? the top prize there ? prize there? >> yes . men prize there? >> yes. men and women are going to be given awards, both at senior level, if you like , for senior level, if you like, for the players of the year and also for the young player of the yean for the young player of the year, too . we've got the likes year, too. we've got the likes of erling haaland, bukayo saka, rachel and sam kerr. rachel daly and sam kerr. they're probably the main contenders on the men's side. there's heavy. manchester city represents because they of course, won the treble. kevin de bruyne and john stones are there , but erling haaland is in likelihood the favourite, i think, on the women's side, it's a little bit harder to call. keep an eye on rachel daly. she had an incredible season and sam kerr is in there as well and is always going to be one of the favourites well . favourites as well. >> i do wonder, given what's been happening in spain, whether perhaps the women's winner will get a more robust run of applause maybe today or tonight rather. well, i think we should be treating both awards equally anyway rather than necessarily

giving more emphasis to one or the other because of the circumstance sources in spain. >> but it is going to be better and ultimately more helpful to be focusing again on awards and on football. so hopefully what we'll see tomorrow morning is less headlines about spain and less headlines about spain and less rubiales finally does the right thing and just stands down and more headlines about winners and more headlines about winners and celebrating both male and female footballers . female footballers. >> that could be wishful thinking , >> that could be wishful thinking, but. but we'll see. sports journalist ben jacobs, really appreciate your insight this afternoon. thank you. just looking. >> the first award of the pfa player of the year 1973 to 1974. norman bates. your legs, hunter the leeds defender. now he wouldn't be anyone to mess with. coming up, crossing live to notting hill police saying that the violence has marred the carnival again this year. reaction coming up with mark white, our home affairs editor. first. latest news headlines with . ray

gb news radio. >> welcome back to the live desk. we've had protests taking place in whitehall outside downing street on today's expansion of the ulez scheme across other boroughs of london, sadiq khan, the london mayor

saying that it was vital to bnng saying that it was vital to bring cleaner air and improve the health of londoners. but it has been controversial. earlier, our political editor christopher hope spoke to the transport secretary, mark harper , and secretary, mark harper, and asked him about his thoughts on the scheme. >> look very carefully at whether there was anything that i could do, whether i had the powers to block the rollout of this scheme. the law says you could do. well, no. some people say that's what the law says and they refer to. i know on on your channel, section 143 of the gla act, but i've looked at it very carefully. it doesn't allow me to do that. it has two tests in it. one is about one refers to people being impacted outside london, which you refer to , but london, which you refer to, but it also talks about whether the mayor's policies are in conflict with some national policies . with some national policies. there is no national policy about road user charging , and i about road user charging, and i have tested this . i've taken have tested this. i've taken advice about it. i really kick the tires to see whether there was anything we could do to use

this very , very hard. i well, this very, very hard. i well, i took advice from my own department. i took legal advice from the department, but i also took legal advice from outside the department. excellent advice. just to test it, the department. excellent advice. just to test it , to advice. just to test it, to really kick the tires , to see really kick the tires, to see whether there was anything that we could do that would stand up and actually stop this coming into force . and by the way, say into force. and by the way, say not in force. there's no point doing there's no point doing gesture politics that end up not working and just costing the taxpayer money. >> well, that's what transport secretary mark harper had to say . lisa hartle gb news, london reporter, joins us now from arnos grove in north london. what are residents there having to say today? lisa >> hello. well, i'm moving about a bit today, so i'm still in enfield, but i'll be back in arnos grove again later. >> but since i last spoke to you guys, i have been speaking to people and was people walking by and there was one who started talking one lady who started talking to me had idea that ulez me and she had no idea that ulez was here today . so then

was starting here today. so then she worried if her car was actually couldn't actually compliant, we couldn't get tfl website to check get on the tfl website to check because that's so busy. you can't get on there. so we did go on website on a different website which said wasn't compliant. said her car wasn't compliant. so course i said to her just so of course i said to herjust wait the government wait until the government website clear later and website is clear later and double check on there. but she said if the case, she said if this is the case, she said, don't said, i'm a carer and i don't earn money pay £12.50 earn enough money to pay £12.50 a day. i don't have even if i did get the scrappage scheme of the £2,000, that's not enough for get a car and she said for me to get a car and she said again, like i said earlier, she says, haven't they given us says, why haven't they given us more to more notice, more time to be able prepare this ? and able to prepare for this? and that's something that was also said to me by smaller businesses that's something that was also said i'vene by smaller businesses that's something that was also said i'vene by speakingyusinesses that's something that was also said i'vene by speakingyusi and as that i've been speaking to. and in a man, mechanic in particular, a man, a mechanic who in south who owns a garage in south london kevin, who london called kevin, who i believe we can hear a clip from now. >> i've got three vehicles that i've got on the fleet that i use use for customers that i lend out to them . out to them. >> i've got a personal vehicle that i will have to pay £12, £0.50 a day just to to travel and from work, which is an extra

£62.50 a week, which is it's going to cripple the local. >> it is crazy. >> it is crazy. >> you're not going to buy a new car for £2,000. >> you're not to going buy a used car for £2,000. >> that's compatible. >> that's compatible. >> all the prices have rocketed just because of the deadline . me just because of the deadline. me personally, i looked yes today for a compatible vehicle and the price from last year to this yean price from last year to this year, it's gone up like £5,000. i've got a lot of customers coming in. i've had one today that's not compliant. it's just that's not compliant. it's just that to put four new tyres on it just for an mot and he's got to get rid of it. so it's all the customers coming in with, with diesel vehicles. >> they're all saying, do i get it fixed? >> do i not get it fixed? >> do i not get it fixed? >> i can't afford to buy a car in. >> it's going to hurt a lot of people. >> the concerns is, of course, one of the one of the concerns is, of course, that if like this lady who i spoke to today, she didn't know that her vehicle wasn't compliant. so from today, she to pay £12, 50 a day.

she has to pay £12, 50 a day. that's something have go that's something you have to go onune that's something you have to go online otherwise you're online to do. otherwise you're going to receive a fine through the £180. that's reduced the post of £180. that's reduced to £90. if you pay it within two weeks. she would have had to weeks. and she would have had to pay weeks. and she would have had to pay that today or tomorrow at the . the latest. >> lisa, thank you very much indeed for updating us there in north london. more reaction, of course, to come throughout the afternoon. thanks very much indeed. >> within the last hour, it's been announced that the way in which notting hill carnival which the notting hill carnival is is being is run and policed is being reviewed was, again hit reviewed after it was, again hit by violence over the bank houday by violence over the bank holiday weekend . and the met, holiday weekend. and the met, police confirming men police confirming that two men are hospital following are in hospital following a spate one of whom spate of stabbings. one of whom is in a critical condition . is in a critical condition. >> let's get more with our home and security editor, mark white, who's joining us at scene of who's joining us at the scene of one those stabbings, which is one of those stabbings, which is a crime scene, i guess now , a crime scene, i guess now, mark. and certainly the met police decrying what they say was serious last night i >> -- >> yes.i >> yes. i mean, i think >> yes . i mean, i think they are >> yes. i mean, i think they are very disillusioned and not just a little angry at what unfolded

here. again, on a monday night. there seems to be a familiar pattern with the monday night because it's clearly the end of carnival . a lot of people don't carnival. a lot of people don't want to curtail their partying, but come mid—evening, the agreement always is that it's got to end and people have got to go home. but that always is a flashpoint . it's always a flashpoint. it's always a flashpoint. it's always a flashpoint as well for rival gangs as people with disagree moments that want to settle scores. and we saw eight separate stabbing incidents that took place within the carnival footprint , including the took place within the carnival footprint, including the most serious here on the northern fringes of the carnival in which a man is still critically ill in hospital . we obtained exclusive hospital. we obtained exclusive images actually from one of our contacts who was filming within the heart of the carnival itself, just as the evening was progressing and things started to turn more violent and he

filmed more multiple incidents in which people were scuffling, fighting , being arrested. one fighting, being arrested. one incident in which the 19 year old man who was stabbed in ladbroke grove and who was seriously injured was carried away on a stretcher surrounded by dozens of police officers and paramedics , as well as they were paramedics, as well as they were taking him out through the crowds for treatment. so there's no doubt there is a great deal of disappointment here. senior officers say they will, as they always do , review the way in always do, review the way in which the policing operation takes place in carnival . and takes place in carnival. and they are going to, they say, give thorough consideration to potential changes to the way in which carnival is policed and run in the years ahead . run in the years ahead. >> there is a suggestion , mark, >> there is a suggestion, mark, that there is too much focus put on the crime that happens at

notting hill carnival when actually the arrest rates are broadly similar to glastonbury . broadly similar to glastonbury. >> well, yeah, that's one thing. that's certainly a complaint i've heard before , and they're i've heard before, and they're probably right. you know , i'm probably right. you know, i'm not really sure and i haven't heard of many days at glastonbury. having said that though, where eight people have been stabbed, there's certainly crime at glastonbury , much of it crime at glastonbury, much of it is related . to the concentration is related. to the concentration of drugs and the dealing of drugs and some public order offences that take place at glastonbury. there may be more serious injury, but i'm not aware of multiple stabbings that happen on a regular basis at glastonbury in the same way that they'll often mar the end of the

notting hill carnival. so there are certainly questions that need to be asked about what else can be done to try to prevent this, should it be held over a longer period in terms of giving people an opportunity to sort of disperse over a longer period of time ? i think the police have time? i think the police have come up that i think it was a 9:00 cut off because they feel that that is late enough in the evening anyway, when many people in what is a largely residential area around here have got to try to get to sleep for work the next again day as well . so lots next again day as well. so lots of issues and there's the age old issue that always boils up about, you know, is notting hill in the area where the carnival is contained or just too small for an event of this size ? for an event of this size? should it go to larger area was that's the one that keeps getting repeated. but the carnival organisers are adamant that they want it the authentic carnival to continue within this

footprint in the notting hill area. mark thank you very much indeed for updating us with that. >> and of course we'll see what that met police review actually bnngs that met police review actually brings forward after they look at all the circumstances. thank you very much indeed . now, you very much indeed. now, another 300 flights being cancel today. having looked at the situation at heathrow and gatwick in particular, downing street now saying that airlines should be taking every possible step to communicate with passengers about the disruption caused by that air traffic control meltdown in departure lounges abroad are still full of passengers as airlines scramble to clear the backlog and we're being warned that the disruption could continue for several more days. >> well, a little earlier , we >> well, a little earlier, we spoke to stranded passenger richard klaus. he told us how him and his wife, they're been celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary. but they're struggling to get any support to get home from madeira in portugal. it's frustrating when the airline are not giving you
