3:11 pm
why would you start with the cleanest air rather than clearing up the foul air in central london? >> well, can we respond to that then? why would we start with then? why would we start with the air around here and the clean air around here and not more foetid air not more of the foetid air around london and other around central london and other big well? the big cities as well? well the point that central point is, is that central london, with ulez the london, with its ulez for the last not last several months, if not years they've got a great improvement. >> it's not not perfect, but you've got to you've got to be inclusive. you can't say, well, this area or that area, why? because of the weather actually takes pollution from to takes the pollution from one to the next. got to the next. so you've got to include everybody in that. >> you've the word >> okay. you've used the word inclusivity >> okay. you've used the word inclstreet that i'm getting the street that i'm getting quite regularly go quite regularly here and i'll go to this, colin, is that to you on this, colin, is that actually is to going affect actually this is to going affect the poorest in society, the most? is. going to >> yeah, it is. it's going to affect local businesses. you've heard from a local business affect local businesses. you've heard fr(this local business affect local businesses. you've heard fr(this is cal business affect local businesses. you've heard fr(this is going siness affect local businesses. you've heard fr(this is going to ess affect local businesses. you've heard fr(this is going to affect already. this is going to affect local particularly low local jobs, particularly low paid and it's going to paid jobs. and it's going to affect vital care networks . and affect vital care networks. and what do i mean by that? i mean, if you're a mum, an old mum, an old dad living in beckenham, you've got a son or daughter, uncle or aunt living in swanley
3:12 pm
quite literally, they're not going to be able to get across to look after them as often as they are at the moment because they are at the moment because they simply can't afford it. so include city is great to a point , but why would a zone one mayor punish zone six, which he clearly doesn't understand? when the air is cleaner than on his tube network? that's the obvious place start . place to start. >> it's going to be a problem for who get to say for people who can't get to say their a nurse. it's going theirjob as a nurse. it's going to cost them an extra £12.50 a day, example. might day, for example. that might turn here some turn them off. here you see some of poorer people in society of the poorer people in society might not be able to actually drive cetera. that drive to work. et cetera. that could lead to, dare i say it more short term more deaths in the short term than climate change? >> no, tend to disagree. 90% >> no, i tend to disagree. 90% of population are covered. of the population are covered. there's problem. can of the population are covered. theretheir problem. can of the population are covered. theretheir cars. em. can of the population are covered. theretheir cars. they're can of the population are covered. theretheir cars. they're notin drive their cars. they're not banned. >> shaking your hat. why? >> you're shaking your hat. why? >> you're shaking your hat. why? >> no, it's not 90. the mayor's mismanaged and misrepresented that figure. we believe the number is nearer to 75% of the cars are . he measured them one cars are. he measured them one day on the camera network on the
3:13 pm
red route. he didn't cover anything off the red routes. the borough roads. so he simply can't know how many cars aren't compliant . compliant. >> you mentioned the implementation there, jim, and i think a key point that think this is a key point that has just been raised by the leader the council. another leader of the council. another key would the actual leader of the council. another key behindj the actual leader of the council. another key behind it. the actual leader of the council. another key behind it. know:tual leader of the council. another key behind it. know that science behind it. i know that you is pretty you say, which is pretty obvious. you've got obvious. look, if you've got cars of their cars pumping filth out of their backsides, then yeah, that is going to have an impact on the climate. understand climate. and i do understand that everybody that and i think everybody else would. concerns would. but there are concerns that paid quite a lot that sadiq khan paid quite a lot of money, about £800,000 to imperial with imperial london to come up with a tried to up imperial london to come up with a reasons tried to up imperial london to come up with a reasons fortried to up imperial london to come up with a reasons for implementingp his reasons for implementing ulez. and then he wasn't happy with the results of that study . with the results of that study. and so then imperial said they weren't to anything weren't going to do anything more to rig the deck more as he tried to rig the deck to get what he wants, which is a lot of people think just a tax hike. >> no, i think i think you've got to i think you've just got to at this common to look at this generally common sense think this is sense rules. and i think this is what it's all about. we you mentioned the reasons and grounds. we all accept that stuff coming out at the back of engines isn't going to great engines isn't going to be great for so, look, if for your health. so, look, if there's a there on a study

policies. there is no national policy about road user charging and i have tested this . i've and i have tested this. i've taken advice about it. i really kick the tires to see whether there was anything we could do. >> how hard did you use this? >> how hard did you use this? >> 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 , to really kick just to test it, to really kick the tires , to see whether there the tires, to see whether there was anything that we could do that would stand up and actually stop this coming into force . and stop this coming into force. and by the way, say not enforce. there's no point doing there's no point doing gesture politics that end up not working and just costing the taxpayer . money costing the taxpayer. money >> that's mark harper talking to me earlier. he also said the he thought that there should be no fines for people who drive into the ulez zone by mistake or they can't they can't they can't sign up to the right forms and get
3:26 pm
the right information off the internet because it is so overloaded today with the tfl website , as we've saying on website, as we've been saying on gb news all day, these copycat websites can mean people feel they're haven't they're paid and they haven't done. he asked for a period of grace those and the grace for those people and the hope khan will go hope is that sadiq khan will go with i did him whether with that. i did ask him whether there further money, there was any further money, some money to help some government money to help businesses, seeing businesses, as you're seeing patrick there in bromley affected that's affected by these changes that's been them by sadiq been imposed on them by sadiq khan he well he made clear khan. he said well he made clear there wasn't much else. >> no. look, thank you very , >> no. look, thank you very, very much. great to have that input and talk to mark harper there and be able to find out that actually the government is at least saying they aren't going take action. but going to take some action. but that enough to stop that was not enough to stop protests took place earlier protests that took place earlier on. doubt continue on. and no doubt will continue raging. go now raging. and i'm going to go now to theo chikomba, who's our national reporter, who i understand was actually at some national reporter, who i unthose nd was actually at some national reporter, who i unthose protests|ctually at some national reporter, who i unthose protests earlier at some national reporter, who i unthose protests earlier today. re of those protests earlier today. theo thanks , patrick. theo thanks, patrick. >> well, we're still here. many of those protesters are still here as well. they've been here throughout most of the
3:27 pm
afternoon. but we do know that the last couple of weeks the mayor has been consistent, saying this decision wasn't taken lightly. it's something he feels is the right decision . the feels is the right decision. the mayor's office say he's made this decision to tackle london's toxic air. one of his personal missions since taking office. and they went on to say air pollution has serious and life limiting risks on physical and mental health and is linked to asthma , cancer, heart disease asthma, cancer, heart disease and dementia , among other and dementia, among other conditions . now, these are some conditions. now, these are some of the things we've been raising to people who are here, and they do acknowledge them, but they're saying this money that they're going to have to pay £12.50 a day is like a tax added to some of the challenges they're already facing in their lives, particularly when it comes to the cost of living. but this afternoon, i'm kindly joined by shahzad you have a car which shahzad. you have a car which you're going to have to park now , although this is the situation in yourself, you find yourself in, where do we strike the balance here when we're talking about health issues , but also
3:28 pm
about health issues, but also the implications it the financial implications it has on yourself and many others? >> i think the you know, the health argument is a really difficult argument if difficult argument because if you data and you you look at the data and you look stats and you can look at the stats and you can accept has had benefit accept that ulez has had benefit in the london area, but when you're expanding 225mi2, there's 600mi2 making this new ulez expansion , the largest low expansion, the largest low emission zone in the world. >> when you go out to those areas and you find that they're positively rural and these are areas where communities tend to be they tend rely on be poorer, they tend to rely on their cars and their cars tend to and they cannot to be older and they cannot afford to change a newer afford to change up to a newer car. then when you look at the balance between lives balance between making lives harder to the harder for people to the perceived improvement in air pollution , you've got to say pollution, you've got to say this is the wrong time to be doing this now for yourself. >> you now have to park your car. us about your car and car. tell us about your car and the implication is going to the implication this is going to have on you. >> i think it's quite tragic . >> i think it's quite tragic. >> i think it's quite tragic. >> fits into a >> so my car fits into a category you would describe >> so my car fits into a catmodern you would describe >> so my car fits into a catmodern classic. vould describe as modern classic. >> when you have classic cars >> so when you have classic cars technically over 40 years old,
3:29 pm
you them as you can register them as historic and they are ulez exempt. >> so cars from the 80s and 90s that regarded as that are often regarded as classics, fit into that. >> my car is a 1989 bmw e30. i bought this just before this announcement came into effect, so i was particularly upset when they decided to do this because i live right just outside the nonh i live right just outside the north circular right now . so north circular right now. so obviously now i'm going to be impacted by it. i use car impacted by it. i use my car fairly most fairly regularly, unlike most classic car owners. and is classic car owners. and this is the carbon footprint the thing, the carbon footprint or of running a or the effect of running a classic car is pretty negligible. so, for example, if you take a regular car, a regular car, the co2 tonnage per yean regular car, the co2 tonnage per year, you're talking about four and a half with a classic and a half tonnes with a classic car, it's about 600kg. that's about it. i tend to use mine a little bit more than most people, so it particularly hits me hard. but thinking to me hard. but i am thinking to keep car for now and just go keep the car for now and just go on as much pays me on the pay as much as it pays me to pay the £12.50. but i think for of if you look to pay the £12.50. but i think forthe of if you look to pay the £12.50. but i think forthe financial if you look to pay the £12.50. but i think forthe financial implications 3k to pay the £12.50. but i think forthe financial implications of at the financial implications of changing your car right now, it's actually cheaper to pay £12.50. >> t- e finally , you've been >> and just finally, you've been following this from the very
3:30 pm
beginning. you seen? beginning. what have you seen? and how have you managed to strike a with looking strike a balance with looking all arguments? yeah all of those arguments? yeah i think a key thing here. >> and obviously i'm very pro car. i'm pro motorist, but i've tried to look at the facts and the real data behind this and i can't justification for can't see any justification for it. is why i've of it. and this is why i've sort of stood shoulder shoulder with stood shoulder to shoulder with these how these protesters as well. how things i think it things have changed. i think it suddenly the suddenly got real in the parlance . you know, the sense parlance. you know, the sense that today it's actually happened. and i have to be honest with you, most of these events that i've been to, they've been very fun. there's been sort been there's been a sort of festival atmosphere today. i detect tension , and i detect a little tension, and i think there's been 1 or 2 skirmishes as well. and i think that it's going to hit them that now it's going to hit them and going to get and people are going to get fined. to get hit fined. they're going to get hit in the pocket. businesses are going are going going to close. people are going to their jobs. can't to lose their jobs. they can't visit elderly. elderly visit the elderly. the elderly are lose their are going to lose their independence. it got independence. suddenly it got real. think is independence. suddenly it got reallast think is independence. suddenly it got reallast that think is independence. suddenly it got reallast that we've ink is independence. suddenly it got reallast that we've seen is independence. suddenly it got reallast that we've seen over the last that we've seen over this. and i think it might actually get more intense. >> so much for your >> thank you so much for your time there. well, he's just one
3:31 pm
of spoken to of many who we've spoken to today. is that argument today. and it is that argument you to strike balance you have to strike a balance when to health, the when it comes to health, the money it as but money side of it as well. but also businesses, many people arguing sides. and of arguing on various sides. and of course, there's research well course, there's research as well which points to the direction of various . but of various different areas. but of course, here today, people have been passionate about why what they think about this expansion in absolutely . in absolutely. >> look, christopher hope, our political editor. firstly thank you very much theo chikomba on national reporter thank you very much from those protests as well. now look , very shortly i'm well. now look, very shortly i'm going interviewing the going to be interviewing the conservative mayoral candidate for london, susan hall, to try to get her views on what on earth she would do if she got elected. should party have elected. should her party have not a bit to not been doing a bit more to stop this that we're in stop this mess that we're in to begin i'm also begin with? but i'm also going to addressing of those to be addressing some of those other stories in town. more other big stories in town. more violence, stabbings at violence, more stabbings at notting hill carnival. when will that asylum cutting that end? asylum seekers cutting off tax to evade the home off their tax to evade the home office. what on earth is office. and what on earth is still the chaos in still going on with the chaos in our i'll you after still going on with the chaos in our headlines you after still going on with the chaos in our headlines with you after still going on with the chaos in

the showers could be on the heavy side, but there'll be lots of stay and of places that stay dry and enjoy some afternoon sunshine, though cloud will bubble up though the cloud will bubble up and 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 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 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 head drier and brighter as we head into saturday. look looks like things are heating up . things are heating up. >> boxed boilers proud sponsors of weather on gb news as. well. >> welcome back to bromley where the main theme of today's show is looking at the ulez rollout across greater london. why? because it's also probably going to come to a town or city near
3:36 pm
you. but i'm going to start this segment a little bit of segment with a little bit of breaking news you. this has breaking news for you. this has just come through me here. just come through to me here. 20,000 crossed 20,000 people have now crossed the so far this the english channel. so far this yeah the english channel. so far this year. news can reveal year. gb news can reveal official home office figures show up until yesterday, show that up until yesterday, 19,800 migrants had arrived in small boats . however, gb news is small boats. however, gb news is kent producer has seen up to 300 migrants being brought into dover harbour on border force vessels, bringing that total now as you can guess, way above 20,000. it's understood they crossed the channel in at least six dinghies. we will be going to our home and security editor on that. and indeed the violence in notting hill carnival very, very shortly. but i'm going to bnng very shortly. but i'm going to bring into the fray now, susan hall, conservative hall, who is the conservative mayoral london. mayoral candidate for london. susan, thank you very much for joining me. great to have you on the show. first things first, susan. the show. first things first, susan . the ulez rollout is susan. the ulez rollout is causing loads of controversy here. it's going here. people saying it's going to put them out of business, but some of the people are saying we need it. that especially the need it. so that especially the youth live longer
3:37 pm
youth of today can live longer with cleaner are you with cleaner air where are you on this? >> well, the tfl's own impact assessment showed that it wouldn't really make any difference at all. >> so i'm absolutely against the ulez expansion and when mayor in may of next year it voted in as mayor, i will stop the expansion on day one. >> so you would stop the ulez expansion on day one. can i just read you what's atiq khan tweeted earlier today ? susan if tweeted earlier today? susan if that's okay. the ulez expansion will mean that 5 million more londoners can breathe cleaner air. 90% of cars seen driving out of london already meet the standards . they won't have to standards. they won't have to pay a standards. they won't have to pay a penny, he says. the central london ulez has helped reduce child asthma hospitalisations attributable to air pollution by 30. so would you not want that ? you not want that? >> patrick all this is, is a money grab. that's all it is . money grab. that's all it is. £200 million are putting into the budget from really off the
3:38 pm
back of poorer londoners . this back of poorer londoners. this ulez expansion is not needed. it's not needed to clean up the air. there are other ways of looking at pockets of air pollution that would be much better dealt with than charging poorer londoners £12.50 every time they get in their car. it's a ridiculous scheme. i would stop it on day one . stop it on day one. >> you've mentioned there about poorer londoners. that's certainly what i'm hearing a lot of on the ground here in bromley, which is that they feel as it is going to affect as though it is going to affect the working class. the poor and the working class. the most. >> absolutely. it will do. and it will damage businesses. it will also damage businesses. if business on a on if you've got a business on a on a high street that's by the border, people are not going to just come into london if they haven't car to haven't got a compliant car to buy newspaper to get their buy a newspaper to get their nails done to use the shops in general , they'll use somewhere general, they'll use somewhere outside london. so it's going to affect londoners in so many different ways . and it's just different ways. and it's just not necessary. it really isn't . not necessary. it really isn't.
3:39 pm
yeah >> what a lot of people might be wondering is how a conservative government with at one time an 80 odd seat majority party managed to allow this to happen in our capital and frankly, pave the way for it happening in other major cities like birmingham, like manchester, like liverpool . i mean, with like liverpool. i mean, with respect, happened on respect, this has happened on your all with your watch. well all with respect, i'm just looking at london and if you devolve powers down to a mayor, it is down to the mayor to decide what happens i >> -- >> sadiq khan is famous for blaming the government for absolutely everything. this ulez expansion is completely down to sadiq khan. he needn't have put it in. i've i've asked him for months and months. not to. but he just doesn't listen to anybody. obviously he won't listen to me, but he's not listening to londoners and it's londoners that voted him in. so he should be listening to what londoners are saying . well what londoners are saying. well what do you make of some of the language that sadiq khan has
3:40 pm
used? >> anyone who was against ulez was supposedly in league with conspiracy theorists . they were conspiracy theorists. they were members of the far right, conspiracy theorists. they were members of the far right , for members of the far right, for example. it was, i think for a lot of people, regarded as the demonisation of the opposition. susan i know well , demonisation of the opposition. susan i know well, i'm used to listening to sadiq khan. >> he's very dismissive of any anybody, especially if they don't agree with him. he spends his entire time being dismissive of londoners , which is of londoners, which is unforgivable. and of course , he unforgivable. and of course, he blames the government for absolutely everything when lots of is down to him. of this is down to him. londoners should remember he has got a £21 billion budget. he should be doing things to help londoners instead of that, as you well know, patrick, we've got very many problems in london which need to be resolved . which need to be resolved. >> well, talk to me about some of the other problems. notting hill carnival yet again. we saw well, the last time i checked anyway, eight serious stabbing incidents . i anyway, eight serious stabbing incidents. i mean, you can just add that to the list. and i believe that you might take some drastic so not only drastic action. so not only would stop ulez on day one
3:41 pm
would you stop ulez on day one if the mayor of if you became the mayor of london, i believe you might also do something notting do something about notting hill carnival. right ? carnival. is that right? >> i'd take positive action >> no, i'd take positive action on notting hill carnival. very many people thoroughly enjoy it andifs many people thoroughly enjoy it and it's a real spectacle. and because it's so successful , i because it's so successful, i think 2 million people went to it. it's outgrown where it is. and that's a problem. it's very difficult to police and therefore very difficult to keep people safe. and surely as a mayor, the one thing you would want to do is to keep londoners safe and therefore , we would safe and therefore, we would have to look and talk to the people that organise it. and see if there is a way of moving it to a place where it's much, much safer. so other people can enjoy it even more so . it even more so. >> susan, just one more with you, if that's okay. it's caught you, if that's okay. it's caught you on the hop a bit. this i understand. but that breaking news that i broke just a few minutes ago, which that minutes ago, which is that 20,000 now come 20,000 people have now come across far this across the channel. so far this yeah across the channel. so far this year. according gb year. that is according to gb news sources . so, again, you
3:42 pm
news sources. so, again, you know, you are going to be potentially conservative potentially the conservative mayor london. we have got mayor of london. we have got a conservative government, rishi sunak's, going to sunak's, saying he's going to stop the boats. it's not happening, it? happening, is it? >> it's certainly challenging at the moment. and i don't know what they can do beyond what they're doing, but let's hope that they do. we've got to stop this. i mean , it's shocking the this. i mean, it's shocking the amount of people that are putting themselves in danger coming across the ocean, that's for sure. something has to be done. let's wait and see what what's going to be suggested . what's going to be suggested. >> okay, susan , thank you very >> okay, susan, thank you very much. susan hall there, the conservative london mayoral candidate. right now , when candidate. right now, when i come back, you heard a bit about notting hill there. heard notting hill there. you heard a bit the channel migrant bit about the channel migrant crisis. be covering both crisis. i'll be covering both of those also those stories. but i'm also going having a look at the going to be having a look at the ongoing incident, 200,000 brits stranded abroad , stranded here stranded abroad, stranded here in the uk, unable to get abroad with what's been going on in the chaos skies. but i want chaos in our skies. but i want to know, has britain been
3:43 pm
attacked? have we been hacked, or just old or is this just a good old fashioned i'm or is this just a good old fasisured i'm or is this just a good old fasisure we're i'm or is this just a good old fasisure we're being i'm or is this just a good old fasisure we're being told i'm or is this just a good old fasisure we're being told then not sure we're being told the truth.
3:44 pm
3:45 pm
3:46 pm
& co weeknights from . six & co weeknights from. six >> okay, welcome back to bromley. in case you're wondering why we're here, it's because it is the epicentre of britain's climate controversy. today, with the rollout that today, with the rollout of that ulez it's not the ulez scheme. but it's not the only in town. no, and i'm only story in town. no, and i'm going go to mark white going to go to mark white now. our insecurity for
3:47 pm
our home insecurity editor for all on yet more all the latest on yet more violence notting hill violence at notting hill carnival. when will it end? it seems like every single year, mark, it seems like every single year we're of stabbings year we're talking of stabbings and we're talking of deaths. what's the latest? >> yeah , thing. police very >> yeah, thing. police very disappointed at the way that notting hill carnival finished again with more in the way of serious violence here just in the last hour. we've had a team of detectives that have arrived here at this scene, the scene where 29 year old man suffered critical injuries when he was stabbed at 9:00 last night. critical injuries when he was stabbed at 9:00 last night . we stabbed at 9:00 last night. we have exclusive images as well showing taken by one of our contact facts right in the heart of carnival yesterday evening , of carnival yesterday evening, just as they were moved in to try to disperse people. and once again, it turned violent, numerous inside shots he filmed of fights and scuffles with the police. he also filmed the
3:48 pm
aftermath of the stabbing of a 19 year old man as that injured person was carried on a stretcher by paramedics surrounded by officers, taking them out of the carnival to be treated in hospital . they are treated in hospital. they are still in a serious but stable condition in hospital. and as you say, patrick, a total of nine, eight stabbings that took place yesterday. on top of that, multiple police officers who were assaulted and one was bitten, several were sexually assaulted as well. a total of 275 arrests. and the metropolitan police say they are now reviewing the policing operation, as they always do after big operations like this . after big operations like this. and they are giving serious and thorough consider ation to the potential for changing the way in which the carnival is policed in which the carnival is policed in the years ahead .
3:49 pm
in the years ahead. >> absolutely. mark, thank you very, very much . mark white. very, very much. mark white. there are home and security edhon there are home and security editor. right. i'm going to talk about another major news story that's , 200,000 that's still ongoing, 200,000 brits or so are either stranded abroad or can't get to where they want to. in the uk. i'm going to now to jeremy going to talk now to jeremy spake, who is an aviation expert and may know him and viewers may well know him from on the wall from a fly on the wall documentary airport. jeremy thank you very much. great to have you on the show. look, what's going on. have we been hacked what's going on. have we been hac no, don't think we have >> no, i don't think we have been hacked. patrick simply because had been because if it had been a cybercrime , it would taken cybercrime, it would have taken them longer to them a great deal longer to recover the actual data trail. and it came back within seven hours. and cyber experts are telling me that it's highly unlikely actually unlikely that that was actually an attack. i believe it was probably breakdown in probably a breakdown in communications between the uk's nats and brussels eurocontrol, which provides all of the data about all of the flight plans for all of the aircraft flying not only over uk airspace, but
3:50 pm
also over europe . also over europe. >> yeah, but a breakdown in communication just simply won't be good enough for the amount of people who've had to remain abroad , pay loads of money to abroad, pay loads of money to change their flights , maybe change their flights, maybe even, i say it, their even, dare i say it, lose their job by not getting back into work time and their boss not work on time and their boss not believing . believing them. >> yeah. no, it's a it's an unfortunate situation because the trouble is that once one aircraft gets cancelled, if that aircraft gets cancelled, if that aircraft isn't actually at its base, it then gets stranded. and what we're now seeing is the residual effect of hundreds of flights being cancelled yesterday, particularly for british airlines, because once their aircraft left london or manchester or birmingham and has gone down route, if they then can't get back, the crew then go out of hours, which means they can't operate until they've had at least 12 hours rest. so we're seeing the residual fallout of that. and sadly, when people are being asked to rebook, if there aren't seats available on the next flight , they have to wait next flight, they have to wait for seats become available.
3:51 pm
for seats to become available. so a consumer, it so if you're a consumer, it isn't very pleasant, for isn't very pleasant, that's for sure . sure. >> no, look , i think it's >> no, look, i think it's important to allay fears , important to allay fears, though, because this time yesterday, we were having a look at whether or not it was very similar, had all the hallmarks of some kind of attack. it had actually hit the busiest actually hit one of the busiest travel days the year, travel days of the year, appeared very similar to appeared to be very similar to what went with not what went on with the us, not just couple ago . and just a couple of months ago. and also well, the fact that it also as well, the fact that it seemed like it was quite targeted. it wasn't actually going put at risk, this going to put lives at risk, this particular issue, it particular cyber issue, but it was massive was just causing massive disruption. would find disruption. people would find that a very convenient if it wasn't attack. wasn't some kind of attack. i think . think. >> yeah, i m... think. >> yeah, i if people are >> yeah, i think if people are conspiratorial theorists , then conspiratorial theorists, then you could read anything into this , to be brutally frank. but this, to be brutally frank. but the system failure was data being transferred around the actual flights, routings , the actual flights, routings, the altitudes. they were going to be at. and the problem is that the data flow started to slow right down and it meant that air traffic across the uk were having to manually input flight
3:52 pm

4:21 pm
4:22 pm
4:23 pm
4:24 pm
online gb news. britain's news. channel >> yes. okay, everybody. welcome back. now, as you can see, i'm in bromley in kent and we are focusing a bit on the ulez scheme that has come into force here today. but it's not just here. very shortly i'm going to take you birmingham. that's take you to birmingham. that's another of world that another part of the world that is see green schemes is going to see green schemes rolled out again, very, very controversially. but here's a big one for you. this news broke, not so ago. 20,000 broke, not so long ago. 20,000 people now crossed the people have now crossed the channelin people have now crossed the channel in not so small boats already this year, but yesterday it was mooted that maybe a way of keeping track of some of these people would to have ankle tags and wrist tags, similar to how you see offenders on bail so that monitor that we can monitor them, monitor their movements, know monitor their movements, we know where stop people where they are and stop people absconding. now by
4:25 pm
absconding. i am joined now by henry international henry bolton, international border security expert the border security expert and the former leader of ukip react, former leader of ukip to react, henry to the news that apparently we are now seeing thousands albanian asylum thousands of albanian asylum seekers cutting off ankle tags so that they can evade the home office. henry, what's going on there ? there? >> hey, patrick, when it comes to albanian organised criminals, we've got to remember that they were born of the civil war in albania, the war in kosovo and the conflict in the republic of northern macedonia . northern macedonia. >> all of these were wars in which the albanians took on the authorities because the authorities because the authorities were primarily trying to clamp down on albanian organised crime. >> these are people who have a culture here that is really centuries old of disregarding and flying in the face of law . and flying in the face of law. >> that's their culture. not all albanians, but certainly a great many of them. and if british
4:26 pm
politicians and law enforcement authorities think that they're deaung authorities think that they're dealing with, you know, the average british burglar here who's just simply exploiting an opportunity to move people across the channel, then they are sorely mistaken . those of us are sorely mistaken. those of us who were in kosovo in the early or early 2000 were warning of this . we were warning the this. we were warning the european union . we were warning european union. we were warning the united nations that the appeasement, the western appeasement, the western appeasement of the albanian community in kosovo was breeding a future organised crime explosion in europe. that's what's happened . the albanians what's happened. the albanians have established networks reaching down into south america and they now control if , if not and they now control if, if not all, then a substantial amount of the cocaine and heroin trade in the united kingdom, as well as being responsible for about 97% of the illegal firearms held in the uk, these are ruthless, well—organised , professional and well—organised, professional and
4:27 pm
highly dangerous criminal networks. they are not people who are going to be deterred by having an ankle bracelet . having an ankle bracelet. >> yeah, and henry, this i think actually summarises what one of the major issues with the ankle bracelets plan was in the first place, which is that well, if you want to abscond, you would just cut it off and you would back that the security just cut it off and you would ba our that the security just cut it off and you would ba our police that the security just cut it off and you would ba our police force the security just cut it off and you would baour police force is; security just cut it off and you would baour police force is; se> patrick, we're starting from the a fundamental fundamentally the a fundamental fundamentally the wrong place. these are criminals. these aren't people we just want to keep an eye on these are people who are involved in transnational organised crime. they're people smugglers , they're narcotics smugglers, they're narcotics smugglers, they're narcotics smugglers, they're narcotics smugglers, they're firearms smugglers, they're firearms smugglers, and they're coming over here and bringing their foot soldiers over here. >> the national crime agency knows it. they've been open
4:28 pm
about it . about it. >> the swedes have got a similar problem. >> france has got a similar problem. >> germany's got a similar problem. is albanian problem. this is albanian organised crime. and if we don't recognise such and we recognise it as such and we we're applying solution chains that we'd apply to somebody who had given asbo or something, had given asbo to or something, then we're way off the mark. >> we there is a serious underestimation of how dangerous these people are. they have absolutely no regard for the law in albania in europe or here. >> they need to be dealt with as such. >> they need to be dealt with as such . they're criminals, robust such. they're criminals, robust as criminals. and we need to treat them accordingly . i treat them accordingly. i suppose one of the saving graces maybe i'm wrong, though, henry. >> one of the saving graces is that we do have a returns agreement with albania . as far that we do have a returns agii ement with albania . as far that we do have a returns agii understand albania . as far that we do have a returns agii understand ,.lbania . as far that we do have a returns agii understand , we nia . as far that we do have a returns agii understand , we do.. as far as i understand, we do. >> indeed we do. and in fact, we're working more closely with the albanians. >> i would say that we need to work actually work with them to actually dismember the albanian organised crime, not simply to liaise with the albanians as we are doing
4:29 pm
so, need a far more robust so, we need a far more robust working relationship the working relationship with the albanians. we do have albanians. 0.1. but we do have that returns agreement. >> what the government has not put in place is the structures and the resources to make sure those returns happen and they also have not found the political will to drive through the legal problems. if somebody if an albanian comes into this country and is tagged, they need to be picked up, driven to an airfield and put on a plane and sent to the airport in albania, and that that's an end to it. >> there should be no court for them, no appeal . all right, them, no appeal. all right, henry , let me cut in, right. henry, let me cut in, right. >> because i am here today primarily talking about an issue that taxpayers feel they are being needlessly clobbered with. but also talking that was but i am also talking that was ulez by the way. what i'm talking to you about another talking to you about is another issue feel issue where taxpayers feel incredibly porous incredibly hard done by porous borders . us paying, of course, borders. us paying, of course, for people coming across in a variety of different methods that are working in general
4:30 pm
that are not working in general , do you think taxpayer in , do you think the taxpayer in this being ripped this country is being ripped right off? >> oh, of course, patrick look pred >> oh, of course, patrick look ripped off in two ways. >> we've got politicians and officials who are so out of touch with what the ordinary person is having to deal with today that they're coming up with rules and regulations that are just increasing suffering. >> they seem to disregard it. they're out of touch. the second thing is that we are being clobbered for taxes that really are the result of bad organisation. we've got bad organisation. we've got bad organisation in health care, bad organisation in health care, bad organisation in health care, bad organisation in our schools, bad organisation in our schools, bad organisation on our in terms of the immigration, but also bad immigrants organisation in terms of the way we run local government . we've got a mayor of government. we've got a mayor of london in my opinion. i mean i'm in kent, he's starting to encroach on our patch now. he he absolutely is out of touch, but he's imposing restrictions on us partly because he can't afford
4:31 pm
to run his administration properly. he's spending money where money doesn't need to be spent and charging the taxpayer for it. and the tax repair is buckling. it's simply not good enough. all right, henry, look, thank you very much for your time. >> henry bolton, there, the former leader of ukip and international control international border control expert. i come back, expert. look, when i come back, the views that henry was talking about are not actually about there are not actually massively dissimilar the massively dissimilar from the vast people on the vast majority of people on the ground here. i'm to ground here. i'm going to be having a little look at the vandalism that's taking place, the that's the civil disobedience that's taking place in the face of ulez and levies like it. and other green levies like it. i'll be right back with you after your headlines. stay tuned i >> patrick. thank you and good afternoon. this is the latest from the newsroom . well, gb news from the newsroom. well, gb news can reveal at least 20,000 people have crossed the english channel so far this year. official home office figures show that up until yesterday,

4:35 pm
most expensive green zone anywhere in in the world. and there are concerns that is going to come to every single city across the uk. no sign of global warming here at the moment in bromley where it does look like it could rain at any moment, but no matter because i've got quite a lot cover as everybody a lot of cover as everybody were able wonderful able to see new wonderful rainbow ensemble rainbow coloured ensemble of umbrellas, to umbrellas, everything's got to be these days. be rainbow coloured these days. otherwise illegal. however, otherwise it's illegal. however, a people are saying a lot of people are saying that the air zone, the ulez the clean air zone, the ulez zone is a great thing. look, obviously people say that it will lead cleaner air, will lead to cleaner air, therefore it will save lives. also, it will pave the way for a much brighter, future much brighter, greener future and especially save the children. been children. however it's not been without protest . and earlier on without protest. and earlier on we were witnessing some rather heavy protests taking place heavy duty protests taking place in central london. our national reporter theo chikomba, was at those protests , getting in those protests, getting in amongst it, speaking to people about why they were against ulez . take it away, theo. this is a real unfair levy on hardworking londoners who simply cannot
4:36 pm
afford to replace their vehicles. >> and they're being punished for that. so you've got people , for that. so you've got people, you've got carers, nurses and shift workers. you've got all of these people who are probably too busy even now to come here and be in front of your cameras and be in front of your cameras and speaking to you because they're too busy earning a living. and sidique khan, i think has waged war on people on lower incomes. and this will push people into serious poverty . so he is absolutely be making this . he says . so he is absolutely be making this. he says it's about . so he is absolutely be making this . he says it's about toxic this. he says it's about toxic air. we kind of know that that's complete nonsense because it's been disproven scientifically . been disproven scientifically. see, this is a tax and pure and simple. that's it. and if he was really serious about toxic air, he'd be looking at the tube network, which roughly 5 million londoners use every day . that is londoners use every day. that is dangerously toxic . but of dangerously toxic. but of course, you can't charge a tax for that. so the motorists yet again is having to feel the pain of khan's ulez extension. and
4:37 pm
it's a total money grabbing scam . it really is. >> and what's been obvious to me here in bromley today is the variety of different people who are concerned about this. we've got carers who are worried about whether or not they're going to be to actually and pay be able to actually go and pay the extra £12.50 if their car is in to look after an in compliance to look after an elderly relative. got nhs elderly relative. we've got nhs nurses who are worried about having to pay again go in. if having to pay again to go in. if they work a night shift, will they work a night shift, will they have pay twice if they they have to pay twice if they come of that night shift? come out of that night shift? you've got small local business owners about owners who are worried about the footfall. et cetera. but i'm going to north going to take us now to north london reporter lisa london with our reporter lisa hartle, believe has hartle, who i believe has somebody there who also feels a little disenfranchise somebody there who also feels a little going nfranchise somebody there who also feels a little going nfra lisa, e to what's going on. lisa, over to you . you. >> hello. yes, so we're in southgate arnos grove , and i'm southgate arnos grove, and i'm joined by kevin croft. >> so , kevin, you're a local >> so, kevin, you're a local building builder, but you've got a building company, three vans, none of them compliant for ulez. >> that's right . good afternoon. >> that's right. good afternoon. yeah so we've got this is one of
4:38 pm
three vans that we own , all of three vans that we own, all of which become non—commercial compliant today. and the result of that is it's £12, 50 for each of that is it's £12, 50 for each of the vans. so, you know, the best part of £40 per day to keep these vans running around, you know , london. so it's quite know, london. so it's quite a big, quite a big outlay amongst everything else. >> and you were telling me how expensive it is if you're to going replace them. >> yeah. so we've done some some enquiries . >> yeah. so we've done some some enquiries. the choices are pretty limited at the moment. new diesel vans of which we run ford's . my information is that ford's. my information is that they've closed the order book on those and not accepting any more orders for new diesel vans. so only other alternative is to purchase battery and they're running . i've got a rough quotes running. i've got a rough quotes
4:39 pm
of about £37,000 per van. so that's the best part of £100,000 to replace the three vans that we've got . not only that, we've we've got. not only that, we've got to rack them out , sign, got to rack them out, sign, write them security on all the doors because of the crime that's in in london at the moment and all that sort of stuff. it'sjust moment and all that sort of stuff. it's just a real big outlay for a small company like us. >> us. >> and you were telling me that. yes you do want cleaner air. that needs to be tackled. but you were saying that there's not been given. been enough time given. >> right . we think >> that's right. we think probably another three years would have been better for us as a business. and i'm sure i've spoken to lots of other contractors that i know, and they're in the same position is, you know, a bit more time. you know, these vans will naturally run their course and become uneconomical to operate anyway, and that would be the time to
4:40 pm

4:42 pm
controversial well yes. controversial? well yes. >> well, a wet afternoon here in birmingham. >> you can probably see the cars going past me in one of the central roads through the city. and while people are probably quite happy to be in those cars right now to avoid the rain , right now to avoid the rain, they have had to pay a charge to drive into this one metre circle that encircles the city centre. the ring road of birmingham, one mile in diameter for essentially for the clean air zone . and for the clean air zone. and there is not quite a charge that there is not quite a charge that there is not quite a charge that there is in london only £8 for a day. of course , compliant day. of course, compliant vehicles that are of a class. that means that they only pollute so much or they're electrical vehicles or low emissions. they can drive in quite freely. but why is it worth coming to birmingham on a day like today when , of course, day like today when, of course, the story is about ulez in london? well, ultimately , london? well, ultimately, patrick, it's about trend
4:43 pm
because the trend of what happensin because the trend of what happens in our biggest cities tend to flow downwards to our smaller cities and potentially eventually towns. now there are clean air zones in eight cities, including in bath in birmingham, where i am today, and in sheffield . and there are two sheffield. and there are two main reasons for why any city council like birmingham city council would choose to bring a clean air zone into effect. ultimately, a clean air zone . it ultimately, a clean air zone. it does what it says on the tin. they're trying to bring down pollution in the city. now, birmingham city council announcing their interim report that since 2021, when the clean air zone was introduced, they brought down nitrogen levels by 13. that's a real worry for people that have asthma. the levels of nitrogen . so that's levels of nitrogen. so that's one sign of why it's worth doing it. the other one is, of course, cash. it. the other one is, of course, cash . and here in birmingham, cash. and here in birmingham, through charges of entering the clean air zone or payments of
4:44 pm
entering the city council has raised £79 million since it launched it two years ago . launched it two years ago. >> well, thank you very much as well, hollis. they're reporting from birmingham. and like i said, look what we're witnessing here around greater london is probably going to come to somewhere you. so it's somewhere near you. so it's important, i think, to gauge the reaction i'm getting important, i think, to gauge the reéfaryn i'm getting important, i think, to gauge the reéfar from i'm getting important, i think, to gauge the reéfar from people i'm getting important, i think, to gauge the reéfar from people ism getting important, i think, to gauge the reéfar from people is thatetting important, i think, to gauge the reéfar from people is that they so far from people is that they know the cost of it. they know what concerns bit what the concerns are a bit sketchy about environmental sketchy about what environmental benefit they're going to benefit that they're going to actually it. the actually see from it. but the environment is not the only story town. and when i come story in town. and when i come back, will talking about story in town. and when i come bac gangs.l talking about story in town. and when i come bac gangs and talking about story in town. and when i come bac gangs and violenceibout story in town. and when i come bac gangs and violence that may the gangs and violence that may well erupted in london late well have erupted in london late last more multiple last night. more multiple stabbings again at notting stabbings yet again at notting hill carnival. what, if anything, is going to be done to stop it? i'll see you in a tick

4:49 pm
to the violence that's erupted yet again at the end of carnival with eight separate stabbing incidents. we've got some exclusive footage from inside the heart of the carnival yesterday evening as things were supposedly wrapping up for the day, but it descended into multiple incidents of violence that are contact filmed . police that are contact filmed. police moving in to arrest a number of individuals. he also filmed as the victim of one stabbing incident , a the victim of one stabbing incident, a 19 year old man was stretchered out by paramedics surrounded by multiple police officers as they worked their way through the crowd to get that young man to hospital. a seriously injured but stable in hospital this morning. another man in a critical condition, six others in less serious injured. now, in terms is of another incident, we also obtained footage of that that shows a
4:50 pm
group of young men all dressed in black with balaclavas who are running away . it seems from an running away. it seems from an incident being pursued by police officers on horseback back. and if we actually freeze . one of if we actually freeze. one of the images there, you can see very alarmingly what is clearly a long bladed weapon in this person's hand . it is, we think , person's hand. it is, we think, probably a machete . that person, probably a machete. that person, we don't know if this person has been apprehended as yet, but we don't know if this person has been apprehended as yet , but the been apprehended as yet, but the metropolitan police have said that multiple people were stopped and searched , weapons stopped and searched, weapons recovered, including long knives and including actually a firearm as well. so it's a very worrying scenes that really marred what had been otherwise a very peaceful carnival up until that point . but

5:36 pm
side, but there'll be lots of places that stay dry and enjoy some afternoon sunshine, though the cloud will bubble up and temperatures to recent temperatures similar to recent days, the high teens days, generally the high teens to low 20s highs around 22 celsius towards the southeast into thursday. a bright day across the north and east of the uk. some sunny spells and 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, then turning much on friday, but then turning much dner on friday, but then turning much drier and brighter head drier and brighter as we head into saturday. a brighter outlook with boxt solar >> proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> yes . okay. so welcome back to >> yes. okay. so welcome back to bromley, which is actually, believe it or not, quite famous for charles darwin. having lived here while ago. but here a little while ago. but i am to going whizz you over now to an interview that i did
5:37 pm
earlier a chap owns earlier on with a chap who owns a mash up traditional a pie and mash up traditional pie mash shop few of pie and mash shop and a few of his mates well the his mates as well to get the views of ordinary about views of ordinary people about what going to do to them what ulez is going to do to them and area. it away . and their area. take it away. i'm going to get stuck right into that in a minute, but first i've got to set the world to rights. my new here and we rights. my new mates here and we are the old cockney pie and are at the old cockney pie and mash bromley . what's mash shop in bromley. what's your yousef yousef and your name? yousef yousef and yousef. this is this is your gaff, isn't it, really? it is indeed. and how are indeed. okay and how worried are you about ulez in this high street your business? street in your business? >> , starting from >> well, starting like from covid sort of mortgage rates to the bills going up, electric and all materials. >> and now the ulez. i'm worried about people travelling to london where they can't afford it with my business, a lot of my clientele is probably above 60. a lot of them don't have phones, a lot of them that drive, if it comes to the parking now, ringo, they can't actually put no money into a metre. so i'm a a little
5:38 pm
bit worried of the future. to be fair. >> and this is the other aspect to it. it's not just about the ulez charge. it's about the way you actually pay for your parking and you've rightly parking now. and you've rightly identified a lot of that is through apps, isn't it? >> indeed. through apps, isn't it? >> a|deed. through apps, isn't it? >> a|deeof the old >> and a lot of the old generation don't even have mobile a lot of my mobile phones. so a lot of my clientele that comes here is quite old. they need to park outside. they find it hard to park because of the new restrictions. and now the ulez on top. who knows ? on top. who knows? >> so the elderly and local businesses could be affected . businesses could be affected. but i've got a mate over here who thinks that the working class might be affected quite badly what's your name badly as well. what's your name and you think? name and what do you think? my name is and i just it to is greg and i just believe it to be tyrannical because you've got numerous happening as numerous things happening as ukip on the park thing. >> if you don't have the facility to pay for park by cash , then you're restricting people with the ability to pay. so you're penalising them by really manipulation of the law and an entire radical way to prevent them from enabling them to pay, which makes them, you know, when
5:39 pm
you get a ticket . and so it you get a ticket. and so it continues, then with the ulez, the working classes and those who afford this facility who cannot afford this facility , we are penalised again. and then they are restricted in their movement . and obviously their movement. and obviously their movement. and obviously the values, they haven't got any money at the moment. so add that to their costs. it's just outright tyrannical. outright ragingly tyrannical. why do you think they're doing it? >> because sadiq khan's very strong on this. says, look, strong on this. he says, look, you a difficult you know, it was a difficult decision. i didn't really want to have to do it for the environment. people are going to to have to do it for the envfromient. people are going to to have to do it for the envfrom ient pollution. re going to die from air pollution. >> that's just nonsense, >> well, that's just nonsense, as know, because the as we all know, because the statistics that statistics and the figures that have back people have have come back that people have shown that in contradictory have come back that people have sh that. hat in contradictory have come back that people have sh that. hat all1 contradictory have come back that people have sh that. hat all1 contrthe tory to that. it's all about the money. that. money. it's as simple as that. if it concerned about the if it was concerned about the environment, just don't let environment, you just don't let cars drive into an environment that they're going that you believe they're going to you get animated >> so you get quite animated with that. >> so you get quite animated witino,at. >> so you get quite animated witino, i'll totally agree with >> no, i'll totally agree with him. you the pollution, him. you know, the pollution, i can central can understand central london. what get head around what i can't get my head around . we're in .we're out of london. we're in kent. .we're out of london. we're in kent . right. .we're out of london. we're in kent. right. if it was that bad, like greg said, it would be a stop . it wouldn't be a £12.50
5:40 pm
stop. it wouldn't be a £12.50 charge per day to drive a car. that's no good for the environment. >> he's trying to say sadiq khan, he came out yesterday and he said that actually outer london was where some of the worst pollution was. well, i don't know . don't know. >> is he underground and outside of london? because there seems to be a lot more pollution within those parameters. and further be like, further that it would be like, let's this. i'll go into a let's do this. i'll go into a pub, i'll pay £12.50 and i'll smoke in front of everyone. yeah because basically doing because you're basically doing the it's the same thing. if it's absolutely regarding the environment, you would just stop it. there's any truth in it. so if there's any truth in that, would oh look , that, you would say, oh look, here's the here is the actual foundations evidence for foundations and evidence for this assertion. and a result, this assertion. and as a result, we must stop. but no , you can we must stop. but no, you can pay us £12.50, you can carry on killing everybody, but unless you're poor, you can really, you know , i was going to say, take it. >> i can tell it. — >> i can tell you, it.— >> i can tell you, i can it. >> i can tell you, i can tell you you're getting worked up about it. but this is the strength though. strength of feeling, though. it's people affects it's real. people it affects real you yourself, it's real. people it affects real have you yourself, it's real. people it affects realhave lot you yourself, it's real. people it affects real have lot to you yourself, it's real. people it affects realhave lot to do yourself, it's real. people it affects realhave lot to do on urself, it's real. people it affects realhave lot to do on this.f, you have a lot to do on this high street that we're on here
5:41 pm
across road. across the road. >> yeah, i just think >> yeah, but yeah, i just think it's going to affect all the local people. people can't local people. and people can't afford £12.50 day. >> what do you the knock >> what do you think the knock on will be to this area on effect will be to this area then? because you've a lot then? because you've got a lot of shops here, then? because you've got a lot of you? shops here, haven't you? >> aren't to travel >> people aren't going to travel so end up doing more so far. i'll end up doing more deliveries and things like that. it's going more it's just going to cost more money for everyone, isn't it? just especially the poorer gain? yeah, ones are yeah, they're the ones that are impacted food impacted because the food is going is going up. going up their rent is going up. now got as now they got this as an additional you will additional cost. you will strangle them and keep them where are and suppress where they are and suppress them. that's what will happen and get the and they won't get the opportunity get out of the opportunity to get out of the position in. position they're in. >> i can see that you've >> well, i can see that you've got a couple of customers lined up waiting for you as well. so can i just say thank you very, very much? i'm going to get stuck this and good luck to stuck into this and good luck to you must you all as well, chaps, i must say for your time. say thank you for your time. take care. i did indeed get stuck into that pie and mash, and do not regret it. look, and i do not regret it. look, i'm to you i'm just going to read you a little comment from sadiq little comment here from sadiq khan this. all the khan who says this. all the evidence it's clean evidence shows that it's clean air that are the air zones like ulez that are the game in a like game changer in a city like london it comes to cutting
5:42 pm
london when it comes to cutting toxic and toxic air quickly and meaningfully protect people's meaningfully to protect people's health. ulez that health. it's thanks to ulez that we now set to get london's we are now set to get london's air within legal in the air within legal limits in the next of years. 184 years next couple of years. 184 years earlier than previously projected. well, there we go. now earlier on, i spoke to susan hall, who was the conservative london mayoral candidate who staunchly disagrees with basically everything that sadiq khan's had to say. the tfl's own impact assessment showed that it wouldn't really make any difference at all. >> so i'm absolutely against the ulez expansion . and when mayor ulez expansion. and when mayor in may of next year it voted in as mayor, i will stop the expansion on day one. can i just read you what sadiq khan tweeted earlier today? >> susan, if that's okay, the ulez expansion will mean that 5 million more londoners can breathe cleaner air. 90% of cars seen driving out of london already meet the standards they won't have to pay a penny, he says. the central london ulez has helped reduce child asthma hospitalisations attributable to
5:43 pm
air pollution by 30. so would you not want that ? you not want that? >> patrick all this is a money grab. that's all it is . it's grab. that's all it is. it's £200 million. they're putting into the budget from really off the back of poorer londoners. this ulez expansion is not needed. this ulez expansion is not needed . it's not needed to clean needed. it's not needed to clean up the air. there are other ways of looking at pockets of air pollution that would be much better dealt with than charging poorer londoners £12.50 every time they get in their car. it's a ridiculous scheme. i would stop it on day one. >> you've mentioned there about poorer londoners. that's certainly what i'm hearing a lot of the ground here bromley of on the ground here in bromley , they feel as , which is that they feel as though going the though it is going to affect the poor the working class. the most. >> absolutely. it will do. and it will also damage businesses. so if you've a business on a so if you've got a business on a on a high street that's by the border, people are not going to just into london if they just come into london if they haven't compliant car haven't got a compliant car to buy get their buy a newspaper to get their nails done to use the shops in
5:44 pm
general , they'll use somewhere general, they'll use somewhere outside london. so it's going to affect londoners in so many different ways . it's just not different ways. it's just not necessary. it really isn't . necessary. it really isn't. >> well, look , clearly, this is >> well, look, clearly, this is a massively divisive issue, both politically , economically, politically, economically, environmentally . when i come environmentally. when i come back, i'll have more from bromley with rio ferdinand taylor . that's right. bromley with rio ferdinand taylor. that's right. i think maybe i could learn a thing or two from rio, couldn't.
