the uk says they will reduce carbon emissions by 80% by 2050, just recently the ultra low emission zoneing tackled. i don't think those are bad things at all but i do think that not enough. there was a report that came out recently that said that the countries in the world are nowhere near wrong “— countries in the world are nowhere near wrong —— on track to reach their paris goals. but we're talking about this country, that you are protesting in. those particular targets a re protesting in. those particular targets are enough to mitigate —— not enough to mitigate the disasters ahead of us. so extinction rebellion once legally binding policies to reduce carbon emissions to zero by 2025, according to everyone looking at that, the zero carbon britain and others say it is not achievable, to say to get net to zero by 2030, britain would need 130,000 extra wind turbines which would cover the area the size of wales, everybody would have to cut back on meat and dairy, severe restrictions on flying, one flight every two years. and they say the numbers just don't stack up. i have heard that as w

the ultra low emission zone will affect the most polluting vehicles, from motorbikes to hgvs.can dominate our cities. in this image, scientists have used orange and red to represent where the air is dirtiest. in this case, the busy streets and junctions of central london. outside a school, we use a heat camera to reveal pollution you cannot see with the naked eye. the exhaust fumes stand out because they are hotter than the surroundings and they flow right past the children who are more exposed than adults because they are closer to the ground. scientists say the effects could be worse than previously thought. over the years we have learned more and more about what air pollution can do to us but we cannot see the stuff, so let's imagine the tiny particles and gases that are drifting around. and as we breathe them in, we are coming to understand the range of effects they can have inside us. the first impact is in our airways and lungs, risking inflammation and asthma attacks and diseases like lung cancer. and down inside the lungs, the smallest particles can cross into the bloo

from next monday, london is introducing an ultra—low emission zone for the dirtiest vehicles.week. the most polluting cars, motorcycles and vans will be charged £12.50 a day, on top of the congestion charge, which is £11.50. larger vehicles will pay £100. our science editor david shukman reports. outside a school, we use a heat camera to reveal air pollution. scientists are discovering that it‘s far more dangerous than previously thought. the exhaust stands out in this video, because it‘s hotter than the surroundings. it flows right beside the children. they‘re closer to the ground than adults, so their health is more at risk. this is the equipment that you‘ll be using to monitor air pollution, and how clean or dirty the air that you‘re breathing over that week is. to find out more, researchers hand out pollution monitors. these backpacks are fitted with devices to measure the quality of the air. so it sucks in air and stores all the data here. the children themselves are well aware of what pollution can mean for them. air pollution can go through your lungs and make you feel
