that tomorrow he will announce a charge of 12.50 for every polluting vehicle entering any part of greater london. notjust the centre of the cityd areas in the uk by air pollution. here on oxford street, the limits for nitrous dioxide were breached 16 times last year. that is 150 more than is allowed. now transport accounts for 80% of the uk's total nitrous oxide emissions by the roadside. diesel engines emitt on average more than petrol and that is why the government is so keen to reduce their use, especially in cities. nearly one in two new cars bought last year were diesel. they are seen as more economical, and when it comes to carbon dioxide emissions, less harmful. however in recent years studies have focus on nitrous oxide as more harmful. it is confusing. volkswagen was found guilty of falsifying emissions data on its diesel vehicles, pretending they were cleaner than they were. that was for its laboratory tests. however, now there is doubts being cast over the value of tests done by all auto makers in a controlled environment. a uk government study compared laboratory test results with the actual performance of vehicles

diesel car owners could get some help from the government if cities adopt new charges to tackle pollutionorce in london in april 2019, with a £24—a—day fee for some drivers. motoring organisations have said diesel car drivers are being "punished" for following a previous government's policy. joining me now is howard cox from the campaign group fair fuel uk. thank you forjoining us. let's deal with the principle before we get to the minutiae of any policy. do you accept that diesel cars are considered problematic these days in terms of pollution? absolutely, i mean, i represent 1.6 terms of pollution? absolutely, i mean, i representi.6 million drivers and they would be the first to agree that they want cleaner emissions. unfortunately what is happening with the various policies around the country, particularly in london, is that they are being demonised and picked on. for example, in london, only 11% of the permissions are generated by diesel cars, and yet they are going to be charged with 100% of the money coming you know, the increase, the £20 or £24, for the problems of the other 90%, t

this was critical to address because pollution was clouding up our cities, and it was important to improve the functioning of our automobiles. our legislation required the department of transportation to set standards so that fuel economy would increase at least 10 miles per gallon over ten years -- that's the time we could foresee -- and continue to rise after that. we instructed the agency to achieve -- and i quote -- the maximum feasible average fuel economy -- end quote -- and directed the secretary of transportation to consider -- quote -- technological feasibility, economic practicality, the effect of other motor vehicle standards of the government on fuel economy, and the need of the united states to conserve energy -- end quote. that's directly from the bill. here's the result: it has just been announced that this program will raise fuel economy to more than 50 miles per gallon by 2025. i think the specifics were 54 miles to the gallon. this would have been impossible in 2007 when we were trying to pass the bill. we could not possibly understand ten years hence tech any detains --

pollution. that is a tough task. it's a really big city, the public transportation can't cope.ore environmentally friendly, and electric cars are, it looks like, the chosen option for the local authorities and it will be also by the customers. it going to be tough, isn't it? even though it is a huge market, everyone here wants an suv. i mean, in terms of sales, they are going through the roof. vw, for the year ahead is... that is a worldwide trend. people just love the riding height of these vehicles, they love the safety perception. so we have a trend towards suvs worldwide, because the customers love the cars. now was the first month, i think, that suvs with the most sold cars in china. it's an astonishing fact. we are going to look at the papers. we are going to look at the papers. we start with the uk spending more money online shopping than any other country in the world. thank you for your tweets. ryan says i buy most stuff online, something like clothes, i would go into the store. he uses amazon prime. don't we all? these figures don't even include the spend on amazon. t
