highways england have given us a statement. of the improvements they previously used to protect and often enhance the environment. the decision is expected in the next few weeks. this proposal is one of several under consideration but there is clearly concern about potential impact on trees. let's ta ke let's take a look at the weather.l lot of dry and fine weather over the weekend but don't expect wall—to—wall sunshine. sunshine this morning, this was the scene earlier in sheffield, cloud increasing. alas try and break story the further south and east you are. some brightness across east of scotland but clouding over there as well. a weather front has brought rain and potential for localised flooding and northern ireland. that has moved into scotland and northern parts of england and not very nice there this afternoon, a bit breezy and some thundery downpours. potential for some rain into northern parts of england, anywhere south of york should be largely dry although a bit more cloudy for the west and sunny spells coming thro

do you think the options available, under consideration by highways england at the moment, do you feel are. we discussed an option which was one of their earliest options which was to expand the land to the east of the a3 which doesn't involve the land grab. we don't have the assurances we wa nt grab. we don't have the assurances we want and we need to know this heritage site enjoyed by over1 million people a year will be safe and protected. thanks very much, matthew. later we will talk to a motoring journalist who believes we should take other things into account when making these decisions. highways england have given us a statement, they say they care about the environment and protecting the habitat around wisley isa protecting the habitat around wisley is a priority as it develops proposals for the junction. they say they are working closely with the rhs and they have a proud track record of delivering road improvements that protects and is an times in hance is the environment. two sides of the argument but there is concern here that if the a3 —— and in harnesses the environment. a

highways england said this in a statement. upgrading the junction will do this.ecision is expected in the next few weeks. concerns over these trees have stepped up a gear. tim muffett, bbc news. in a moment it'll be time for the film review. but first, here's click. driving in india is an experience. the roads are cramped, the horn is omnipresent and the rules are... well, the rules are here somewhere, i'm sure of it. and that's why we won't be doing a piece about self driving cars in india any time soon. despite the fact that it seems like everyone in india travels in the car, that's not true by any means, many people choose to travel by train instead. but, if you think that's any less intense, think again. yeah, about those rules. mumbai central station is a massive heaving hub connecting the city to the north and east of india. but, if you look closer you'll see something else connecting the commuters to the rest of the world. 116 wireless access points provide free wi—fi to anyone with an indian phone number. it has been provided by google which at the moment

around 3:15am, emergency services and staff from highways england were called to junction 1a of the m1n arrival, we found a three vehicle collision on the southbound carriageway. two heavy goods vehicles and one minibus. six men and two women sadly died at the seams. a woman, a man and a five—year—old girl who are also travelling in the minibus, were taken to hospital. they all remain there in serious condition with life—threatening injuries. another woman was also taken to hospital with serious injuries not believed to be life—threatening. the scene facing officers who attended was complex and the recovery operation was tragically, as people have lost their lives and it is ourjob to establish what happened. officers are working to establish —— to work with the families abroad. some of the people came from india. this collision was deeply distressing for members of the public who witnessed it, for emergency services workers who attended it and i'm pleased to say that officers from thames valley police supported by the fire service and representatives from ambulance services and display

a leading motoring lawyer, nick freeman, says it sends out a bad message, while highways england claim wouldn't release more detailed figures, arguing it could prejudice the effective operation of the dart charge. that has left toll—payers angry. if you are based in the uk, and you are using the crossing regularly, and you are paying for it, it seems wholly unfair that there are other people who are getting away without paying, purely because their vehicles are not registered in the uk. free wi—fi is coming to residents on the lowest incomes in tower hamlets, courtesy of the council, after it approved a plan for broadband availability in town centres and social housing. free digital training will also be given to ensure more families have access to online support services and opportunities. tower hamlets council says nearly a quarter of residents living on low incomes don't have access to wi—fi, with the figure even higher among the elderly and disabled. let's have a look at the travel situation now. there is a good service on the tubes this morning. a look at the roads, and on the m25

it is the heart of a complex highway system. in new england, all roads lead to boston and boston has continued growing. today, it's metropolitan area extends over 42 cities and towns. million.ion of 2.5 once country roads served the outlying areas adequately overnight, they became city streets. traffic hopelessly entangled. at the statehouse, there was a -- entangled. it took over an hour. at the statehouse, there was a highway on paper which could have alleviated all of the congestion. lack of public support kept it in the piles until the people of essex county got it out into the light of day. here, you see on the map highway , 128, starting from gloucester, it swings in a wide 80 mile arc around the ring of greater -- around the rim of greater boston. the last section is now nearing completion. today john smith can leave his , family in the morning and travel safely and quickly over a modern express highway to his job. because new roads pump increased values into adjacent land, he travels past property whose values have increased 100 times

new revenues have come to the old new england towns along the highway. not to forget mr.mith and thousands more like him, here he is arriving at his place of work without having had to fight the boston traffic. the people of essex county pushed for the construction of 128, they did not know they would ring boston with a golden semi circle. so far, you have seen what improved highways in traffic means to a metropolitan area. all good roads are part of an interstate system that serves the whole nation. the great primary roads that need goode cities, we secondary roads to serve the small towns of america. for that story, we go to north carolina. why north carolina? rural few years ago, the lived in the back roads. let's see how this investment is paying off. in a typical farm home in north carolina. the family's day has begun. father and son are on their way, one to the farmers market and the other to his factory job. daughter has a few seconds longer. everybody is on the move. lived pretty much 21,000the farm, but now miles of secondary roads connect them. the old dirt road

highway act. again, investments like this, certainly across new england and the northeast, in central station, if we are not , as membersby that of the american family, that we are wrong. we need to go back to the idea that there is a regular investment, a regular appropriation, in terms of infrastructure spending. and i could map out easily how that might come about based on reprieve -- based on repatriated. reporter: there has been an agreement on repatriating .oreign profits at a lower rate ?here are you republicans want to go to a payitorial system where you the tax but not the second layer of taxes. democrats have been in a couple of different places on that. where are you right now as democrats look to the system for tax reform? reporter: i could -- rep. neal: i could see us moving towards a hybrid system. i think there is ample opportunity here. let's talk about all of these systems and figure out what might be the best one for america. but here's the problem. that thethey argued money that was brought back ,hould be taxed at 5.25% because that would lead to job creation. the next day, lar

highway act. i think that, again, investments like this certainly across new england and the northeast, in penn central station, if we are not embarrassed by that, as members of the american family, there is something wrong. we need to go back to the idea that there is a regular investment, a regular appropriation in terms of infrastructure spending. and i could map out easily how that might come about based on repatriating $2.8 trillion offshore. richard: there has been brought agreement on repatriating foreign profits at a lower rate. you on what the future tax system would look like on foreign profits? republicans want to go to a territorial system where you pay the foreign tax but not the second later u.s. tax. democrats have been in a couple of different places on that. where are you right now as republicans look towards a territorial system is part of tax reform? rep. neal: i could see us moving towards a hybrid system. i think examining all of this often be part of the tax reform discussion. i think there is ample opportunity here. let's talk about all of these systems and figure out what might
