it's a very divisive one and outer parts of london now, where the labour mayor of london wants to extendk labour candidate who says no. what you heard is that the labour leader is not going to tell us. will it be an issue in the future? as sir keir starmer makes a big play to take action on the environment and invest in green industries and green energies. quickly, just to sum up what the state of play is in terms of that issue and the other candidates — a campaign for which is under way, conservatives are against the expansion of the ulez zone, the liberal democrats say it should be paused, while a better more generous scrappage scheme is brought into place and the greens say indeed, measures should go further and repricing should be introduced. jonathan, quite a few by—election �*s coming up. how worried are the conservative parties about them? i would say they're very worried. it depends on which particular one you're talking about, though. we have a potential addition to that list, given the recommendation of the parliamentary standards committee that chris pincher, the former deputy

the heart of that campaign, which the conservative party made much of, was this plan by the labour mayor of londong cars, old polluting vehicles, to the edge of london, which would have just taken in that constituency. people in the constituency with old cars could face a cost of £12.50/$15 a day to drive their cars. and that was credited with tipping it. in the wake of that, as you say, pressure or calls from the right wing of the conservative party and rishi sunak to water down climate policies as a potential vote winner. and now what we have is the sort of backlash to that, if you like. so these environmental groups, some of the biggest in the country, the national trust, the royal society for the protection of birds, the woodland trust, they say between them they have 20 million members. they say they've mobilised those members in the past. and on what they call a critical policy area, they say they are alarmed at reports that the government might be looking at watering down environmental policies. so they say that should not happen and they want an urgent meeting with rishi sunak to get him t

now, plans in london to expand the capital's ultra low emissions zone are at the centre of a major political row. they've been introduced by london's labour mayor to have been a key factor in the party's failure in a recent by—election in the city. a short while ago, however, five conservative—led councils lost their legal action to half the expansion of the scheme at london's high court. the extension of the zone is due to come into force on august 29th. the scheme — already in place in central and inner london — will see drivers of the most polluting vehicles charged £12.50 or nearly $16 a day. our reporter frances read is at the high court and joins us now. tell us more, if you can, about this verdict. . , �* , ., verdict. yeah, sure, we've 'ust had thisjudgmentfi verdict. yeah, sure, we've 'ust had thisjudgment about t verdict. yeah, sure, we've 'ust had thisjudgment about an h verdict. yeah, sure, we'vejust had thisjudgment about an hour - verdict. yeah, sure, we'vejust had thisjudgment about an hour ago i verdict. yeah, sure, we'vejust had i thisjudgment about an hour ago now, this judgment about an hour ago now, and the high court read th

there seems little doubt that a controversial vehicle emissions policy introduced by the labour mayor of londones charges to older or more polluting vehicles. the proposed expansion would take in outer london — which includes uxbridge. so is it the case, that people are less likely to support policies aimed at achieving net zero emissions if they will cost them money in the short term? the polling firm ipsos did some research on this. it found that 62% of people supported subsidies for electric vehicles. but this dropped to 34% when they were told they would have to pay more to drive their diesel or electric car. another key net—zero policy — the phasing out of gas powered boilers — was also supported by 62% of the public. but this fell to 32% when people were told they would have to pay more for an alternative system. i've been speaking to gideon skinner, head of political research at ipsos. he says many voters see green lifestyle choices as a costly option they can ill afford. the public is starting off from a point of in general being very concerned about the environment. broadly, overall, t
