so how useful is the government's new air strategy? of what they are announcing. while we welcome the move to cleaner vehicles, it is too long in the future to do anything about the air quality crisis we have now. it seems we have another secretary of state failing to grasp what even he calls a public health emergency. we should've seen the environment secretary announcing today a paradigms shift, a system shift to put people at the heart of towns and cities and not more cars, however they are powered. and we need him to talk about a massive investment in public transport, about a proper network of clean air zones. much more investment is needed in cleaner transport, critics say. they will be looking to the chancellor and his autumn statement to see how much the government is willing to spend to clean up illegally polluted air. roger harrabin, bbc news. and roger's with me. —— norman smith is with me. this is a bold headline. how dramatic is this politically? it sounds like there should be a drum roll with this announcement, the end of

it's all part of the fight against air pollution.oger harrabin has the story air pollution is linked to 40,000 premature deaths a year. the government was ordered by the court to publish a full strategy to clean up the air this month. the biggest problem is toxic n02 emissions from diesel vehicles. i go down the gym every day of the week, but i would not dream of running down here. people tell me it is bad. i accept that. but there is nothing i can do about it personally. there is data coming out showing the effect on respiratory health, mortalities, in newspapers all the time. so massively concerned. electric vehicles are seen as the long—term solution. the government confirmed today its policy of banning the sale of new diesel and petrol cars by 2040. we have to get rid of petrol and diesel cars from our roads if we are going to make sure not only do we deal with the health problems air pollution causes, but also that we meet our climate change targets. the good news is the car industry is already moving in this direction. but what

deal with air pollution. government has also announced a £255 million fund to help councils tackle emissions, including the right to create charging zones for the dirtiest vehicles. but the plans have been criticised by environmental campaigners for not going far enough. 0ur science editor david shukman looks at the proposals. 0n the worst days, the pollution hangs like a mist over our cities. the gases and particles cause asthma and heart trouble. they may lead to dementia, and they shorten lives, as many as 40,000 in britain every year. and the biggest source of pollution is diesel engines, and we have millions of them. so the government has a vision for a future where all our cars will be electric. norway will do this by 2025, france by 2040. and that's the year the government here has set to move away from conventional engines. we have to get rid of petrol and diesel cars off our roads if we're to make sure that not only that we deal with the health problems that air pollution causes, but also that we mee

and it will get warmer as the air sinks. it's not a major heatup, but it will be hot in the inland bay valleys. advisory for the east bay hills and santa cruz mountains on saturday and sunday. not for san francisco, san jose or oakland. tomorrow, a lot like today. about the same, maybe a few degrees warmer. as we go into saturday and sunday, we peak. that will be with temperatures in the inland valleys, 99, 100 degrees. that's where we're going. nothing crazy unusual here. fog along the coast. it's pulled back a little, but the fog will be back tomorrow as you know. current temperatures like last night, there's the fog. pick it out here getting squished through the gap you can barely see it. one of the things i talked about was environmental clues about what's happening with the weather. the fog is not up high, it's not drifting. it's hugging the hill. it's coming over. that's because the high pressure is building in. models are correct, high pressure will build in and it should be a warmer day tomorrow. when i come back, we

and air has been critical in the tucson sector but we have lost a bit of the air capability in that sector and we understand we are going to lose some more in the future here. and i understand there is increased activity in other sectors. but still 50% of the marijuana comes through the tucson sector especially in the hot summer we have a number of of deaths in the desert and the air assets are critical to getting to people before they -- before it's life threatening. could you share what the impact has been of decrease in air in the tucson sector and any plans you have to further decrease it? because this is a concerns of ours. we have made gants and we feel we are potentially going to welose some more air. >> as far as flight hours, is that what your concern is. >> flight hours and assets. >> ok so we execute about 95,000 flight hours a year that's been a pretty consistent number with us. there has been more movement. as tucson has gained a moreof a control of the border than it was 10 years ago, when the flight hours were much higher than they are right now, but in a process of the -- o
