Stay with us on BBC One - it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Good evening and welcome to BBC London News, with me, Ben Bland. | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
The mayor is calling on the government to spend more | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
than ?0.5 billion on compensating people who are prepared to give | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
Sadiq Khan says his proposals for a diesel scrappage scheme | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
would reduce air pollution, but his opponents disagree. | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
Our political editor Tim Donovan reports. | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
Much air pollution may be invisible, but it's killing 10,000 people | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
Diesel vehicles should be scrapped, says the mayor, and the Government | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
Unless they step in and take action against polluting diesel vehicles, | :00:43. | :00:50. | |
I'm afraid they will be held to be in breach again of the law. | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
It's in the Government's interest - not just because of the law, | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
but because they can help address the poor quality air in London - | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
to step in and have a national diesel scrappage scheme. | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
Now the mayor wants ?3500 offered for each van | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
or minibus and ?2000 in credit for the 130,000 private vehicles. | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
What I would like to see is allowing people to move not | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
just from a diesel car, but hopefully to electric cars | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
and things like that, because you have to have... | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
If you're going to get rid of one car, you have | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
to have an environmentally friendly alternative. | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
There are some who point to Paris for lessons, | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
where the Champs-Elysees is closed to traffic once a month, | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
and sections of the right and left bank of the Seine are now | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
permanently given over to walkers and cyclists. | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
Using a system of stickers on high polluting days, | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
some vehicles are not allowed on the road. | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
And in 2020, the mayor here says all diesel cars will be banned | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
In London, they're saying it's not quite what it's cracked up to be. | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
If we pursue the programme we're going through, | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
by 2020 we will have reduced the air pollution in London by at least | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
half, and that's the date at which they are talking | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
about doing a diesel ban in quite a small area of Paris. | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
So, you know, the programme we have got is a very practical one | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
From this October in London, drivers of the most polluting | :02:15. | :02:23. | |
vehicles will have to pay a daily toxicity charge of ?10 to come | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
Sutton United fans braved the cold this morning and queued up | :02:27. | :02:36. | |
from the early hours to get tickets for one the biggest games | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
In just over a week they play Arsenal, in the fifth | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
round of the FA Cup, and amongst the fans, hopes | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
are running high for a Cup upset, as Jim Wheble's been finding out. | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
It was all about this today in Sutton. | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
It meant an early start, time to contemplate the big game. | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
We're going to have a bacon roll, cup of tea. | :02:59. | :03:10. | |
I do hope Arsenal bring out their full team. | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
I had heard a rumour that this flicker of confidence was in part | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
It's our reserve goalkeeper, Wayne - roly-poly goalie. | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
The roly-poly goalie is around here somewhere. | :03:23. | :03:31. | |
I've got a feeling we will have to catch up with him. | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
The queue for tickets was getting longer and longer and longer. | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
And it was this goal, in the fourth round against Leeds, | :03:37. | :03:49. | |
which has made the game against Premier League giants | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
They call it the magic of the FA Cup. | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
Realistically, I think you're the one getting carried away. | :03:56. | :04:06. | |
I've got my feet firmly on the ground. | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
We're just delighted to be in the fifth round. | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
We've seen you on the sauce bottles and T-shirts. | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
Do you think you're going to step in to the goal on the big day? | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
Do you think you might be called upon? | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
It would be good, but we will be leaving the heat | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
on Arsenal at the moment, with the chilli sauce. | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
Now, let's have a look at the weather. | :04:28. | :04:36. | |
It's going to be a dry and largely sunny day, | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
And that wind means it'll still feel pretty cold, | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
with a top temperature of eight degrees Celsius. | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
Claudia-Liza Armah will be with you during BBC Breakfast, | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
but until then have a lovely evening. | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
I'm sure most of us are glad to see the back of this weekend. It's been | :04:53. | :05:15. | |
cold, bleak and at times wintry. It provided some beautiful weather | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
Watchers photos, like Sheffield earlier today. I suspect some of the | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
lying snow will be blown around by strong winds starting to develop. | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
The odd spot of drizzle into the far north-east. The wind strengthening | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
here. Already signs of something a little bit miles, temperatures | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
climbing up. However it's not going to feel that warm straightaway. | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
Because of the strength of the wind. The wind however will break up the | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
cloud, so some sunshine into central and Southern areas. The cloud is | :05:49. | :05:57. | |
thickening all the time. The odd bit of drizzle. Some sunny spells and | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
highs of around 80 degrees. Similar story | :06:05. | :06:06. |
