:00:00. > :00:07.Trying to breathe new life into clean air policy -

:00:08. > :00:10.the Government is to ban all new petrol and diesel

:00:11. > :00:15.Judges had told ministers more needed to be done

:00:16. > :00:21.We have to get rid of petrol and diesel cars off our roads

:00:22. > :00:25.if we're going to make sure that not only do we deal with the health

:00:26. > :00:27.problems that air pollution causes, but also that we meet our

:00:28. > :00:32.Now the race is on for more efficient and cheaper electric

:00:33. > :00:36.cars as the Government promotes cleaner driving.

:00:37. > :00:39.Local councils could charge owners of the dirtiest vehicles,

:00:40. > :00:43.but campaigners say the Government's plans don't go far enough.

:00:44. > :00:50.The parents of Charlie Gard have given up the fight

:00:51. > :00:58.Wildfires in the south of France have forced thousands

:00:59. > :00:59.to leave their homes and campsites overnight.

:01:00. > :01:01.The youngest victim of the Manchester Arena bombing,

:01:02. > :01:05.eight-year-old Saffie Roussos, is laid to rest.

:01:06. > :01:07.And no new world record, but a second gold

:01:08. > :01:14.at the World Championships in Budapest.

:01:15. > :01:20.Novak Djokovic says he is ending his season early after suffering

:01:21. > :01:43.an elbow problem which forced him to retire from Wimbledon.

:01:44. > :01:46.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at six.

:01:47. > :01:49.No one will be able to buy a new diesel or petrol car

:01:50. > :01:53.after 2040 under Government plans to tackle air pollution.

:01:54. > :01:57.The "clean air" strategy published today follows a ruling by judges

:01:58. > :02:00.that ministers have to do more to deal with air pollution.

:02:01. > :02:04.The Government has also announced a ?255 million fund to help

:02:05. > :02:07.councils tackle emissions, including the right

:02:08. > :02:11.to create charging zones for the dirtiest vehicles.

:02:12. > :02:13.But the plans have been criticised by environmental campaigners

:02:14. > :02:19.Our Science Editor David Shukman looks at the proposals.

:02:20. > :02:24.On the worst days, the pollution hangs like a mist over our cities.

:02:25. > :02:27.The gases and particles cause asthma and heart trouble.

:02:28. > :02:31.They may lead to dementia, and they shorten lives, as many

:02:32. > :02:39.And the biggest source of pollution is diesel engines,

:02:40. > :02:44.So the Government has a vision for a future

:02:45. > :02:53.Norway will do this by 2025, France by 2040.

:02:54. > :02:59.And that's the year the Government here is set to move away

:03:00. > :03:02.And that's the year the Government here has set to move away

:03:03. > :03:06.We have to get rid of petrol and diesel cars off our roads

:03:07. > :03:09.if we're to make sure that not only do we deal with the health problems

:03:10. > :03:12.that air pollution causes, but also that we meet our

:03:13. > :03:16.And the good news is that the car industry is already

:03:17. > :03:18.ARCHIVE: At the Austin motor works in Birmingham,

:03:19. > :03:21.Anglo-American cooperation has resulted in a new small car.

:03:22. > :03:23.This is another potentially momentous step, because there

:03:24. > :03:24.proud history of petrol and diesel engines

:03:25. > :03:29.These are machines that shape the way we live and work.

:03:30. > :03:32.But for the sake of everyone's health, their days are now numbered.

:03:33. > :03:35.The headline of a ban by 2040 on sales of new petrol and diesel

:03:36. > :03:37.cars and vans is certainly eye-catching, but what about

:03:38. > :03:43.A couple of months ago, the Government's own advisers said

:03:44. > :03:48.the best way to do that would be to have clean air zones in towns

:03:49. > :03:53.That idea is not in the new plan issued today.

:03:54. > :03:58.Instead, ministers want local councils to take action.

:03:59. > :04:02.So they want to see councils managing traffic better to avoid

:04:03. > :04:07.creating pollution hotspots; removing speed bumps,

:04:08. > :04:09.so cars don't slow down and then accelerate,

:04:10. > :04:16.and fitting older buses with filters to make them cleaner.

:04:17. > :04:18.There is more money for all this, but will it be enough?

:04:19. > :04:24.What we need now is some robust action taken by Governments

:04:25. > :04:27.and not just relying on local authorities to make

:04:28. > :04:30.The car-maker Volvo has already declared a switch

:04:31. > :04:36.Others also have electric plans, but the boss of Aston Martin says

:04:37. > :04:39.the Government hasn't thought through the implications.

:04:40. > :04:42.If you don't have the infrastructure, if you don't

:04:43. > :04:44.have the skills, if you don't have the wherewithal to pay for it,

:04:45. > :04:50.then as a statement or a policy, it's absurd.

:04:51. > :04:53.Year after year, Britain has seen levels of nitrogen dioxide well

:04:54. > :04:58.The Government is under court order to clean up,

:04:59. > :05:01.and an environmental group that launched legal action says

:05:02. > :05:04.the Environment Secretary still isn't doing enough.

:05:05. > :05:11.He's passing the buck to local authorities

:05:12. > :05:13.and coming up with headline-grabbing initiatives for something

:05:14. > :05:15.that's 23 years away from now, and cheating people

:05:16. > :05:20.You can't always see air pollution, but politicians can't avoid it.

:05:21. > :05:21.The Government says it is responding, but doesn't

:05:22. > :05:30.The result - a signal of real change, but not for a while.

:05:31. > :05:37.So what do all the proposals mean for the motor industry,

:05:38. > :05:39.and for those thinking of buying a new car?

:05:40. > :05:53.It's not the rain that worries him. It's what he's breathing. Tim is so

:05:54. > :05:57.concerned about air quality here in Bristol that he started wearing a

:05:58. > :06:01.device to measure the pollution from vehicles. Shocked by the data he has

:06:02. > :06:06.gathered, he welcomes the government's plans. But as a

:06:07. > :06:10.commuter and as a father, he would like action sooner. It's good news

:06:11. > :06:15.in that they are paying attention to the problem, but it all feels a bit

:06:16. > :06:18.late in the day. 2040 is a long way away. It doesn't feel like the

:06:19. > :06:24.solutions they are coming up with will solve it in the short term. You

:06:25. > :06:28.see? At the taxi rank, we meet Mike, who is thinking about a new car, but

:06:29. > :06:37.he's not sure an electric vehicle is practical. It is a good idea for the

:06:38. > :06:40.environment, certainly. But for this game, it is not going to be viable,

:06:41. > :06:49.pure electric, unless you can get the milage. A lot of people do 120

:06:50. > :06:54.miles a day. What are you going to do, stop and charge for two hours?

:06:55. > :06:57.What will convince him? Well, Bristol was one of several places

:06:58. > :07:01.trialling different schemes to encourage cleaner, greener motoring,

:07:02. > :07:07.like the charging points that have been installed at locations across

:07:08. > :07:11.the city. Melanie loves her electric car and is convinced that this is

:07:12. > :07:16.the future, so much so that she is building a business around them. But

:07:17. > :07:19.what about the practicalities? Wouldn't the streets before the

:07:20. > :07:24.cables if everyone had to judge a vehicle at home? Well, there are

:07:25. > :07:28.some interesting solutions for that. My favourite one is lamp post

:07:29. > :07:32.charging. A few companies have developed a charger which fits into

:07:33. > :07:38.a standard lamp post am so they can be installed on the street. You

:07:39. > :07:42.don't need a driveway. So the Government may have decided on our

:07:43. > :07:47.destination, but how we get to cleaner air and how much that

:07:48. > :07:49.journey costs us tonight seems less straightforward. Jon Kay, BBC News,

:07:50. > :07:50.Bristol. With me now is our Science

:07:51. > :07:58.Editor David Shukman. 2040 seems a long way off, but how

:07:59. > :08:02.big a challenge will it be to get the country ready for the big

:08:03. > :08:06.Switch? It is a massive challenge, and involves a kind of revolution.

:08:07. > :08:11.If you think back to the age of the horse and carriage, the coaching inn

:08:12. > :08:15.is up and down the country had to supply horses for the next stage of

:08:16. > :08:19.someone's journey. They then had to switch to supplying petrol. Now they

:08:20. > :08:22.will have to switch to supplying charging points so that electric

:08:23. > :08:27.motorists can get to the next stage of their trip. There are 8000 petrol

:08:28. > :08:31.stations up and down the country. This is a massive challenge. We have

:08:32. > :08:34.heard concerns about the range of electric cars. That means that if

:08:35. > :08:38.you buy one, you will want your office to have a charging point, and

:08:39. > :08:41.your supermarket and airports and railway station. And if you live in

:08:42. > :08:51.a terraced house, we have heard one suggestion for how you might sort

:08:52. > :08:54.out that problem of running a cable across the pavement. That is a real

:08:55. > :08:56.issue to be sorted. The other big question is public attitudes. The

:08:57. > :08:59.insurance company Aviva asked 2000 motorists what they would buy next.

:09:00. > :09:03.Only one in eight said they would buy a hybrid or an electric car.

:09:04. > :09:07.Most would buy petrol, some would even buy a diesel. They were asked

:09:08. > :09:13.why. The biggest reason was the price of electric cars, and then

:09:14. > :09:18.that question of the limited range. So as Jon Kay said, we are on a

:09:19. > :09:21.journey. The government has set the destination, but this will not

:09:22. > :09:23.happen overnight. David, many thanks.

:09:24. > :09:26.The parents of the terminally ill baby boy Charlie Gard

:09:27. > :09:30.have given up their fight to take him home to die.

:09:31. > :09:32.At the High Court, lawyers accepted that he should be

:09:33. > :09:35.But there's still no agreement on when the 11-month-old's

:09:36. > :09:44.Our Medical Correspondent Fergus Walsh is at the High Court.

:09:45. > :09:53.What is the latest sticking point? It is that the family wants Charlie

:09:54. > :09:56.transferred to a hospice and for a private medical team to take over

:09:57. > :10:01.his care so that they can have a period of days with him, a period of

:10:02. > :10:06.reflection to build memories with him before his ventilator is

:10:07. > :10:08.switched off. They say that some nurses at Great Ormond Street caring

:10:09. > :10:14.for Charlie have volunteered to do that and that they have a private

:10:15. > :10:17.GP. Hospices are not set up to take children on ventilators for long

:10:18. > :10:21.periods. They haven't found a hospice willing to take him, and

:10:22. > :10:26.although they have a private GP, they haven't been able to find a

:10:27. > :10:30.paediatric intensive care consultant and they have appealed tonight for

:10:31. > :10:35.one to come forward overnight. Great Ormond Street have said that waiting

:10:36. > :10:39.here was causing stress for the family and for the staff, and they

:10:40. > :10:43.would like to see Charlie transferred to a hospice no later

:10:44. > :10:48.than Friday. So the judge ordered that if they can't come to an

:10:49. > :10:54.agreement by noon tomorrow, Charlie should be transferred to a hospice

:10:55. > :10:59.and palliative care should begin and his breathing tube should be

:11:00. > :11:02.withdrawn shortly thereafter. He said it is now three and a half

:11:03. > :11:04.months since he ruled that Charlie should be allowed to die with

:11:05. > :11:09.dignity. He was conscious that Charlie may be suffering and that

:11:10. > :11:13.this process should now come to an end. Fergus Walsh at the High Court.

:11:14. > :11:19.The owner of Sports Direct, Mike Ashley, has won his legal

:11:20. > :11:21.battle with an investment banker over an alleged ?15 million deal

:11:22. > :11:24.Mr Ashley told the High Court he couldn't remember

:11:25. > :11:29."as it was a night of heavy drinking," and denied he promised

:11:30. > :11:31.the banker the money if he doubled the company's share price.

:11:32. > :11:33.The judge said no-one at the pub would have

:11:34. > :11:38.thought any offer Mr Ashley made was serious.

:11:39. > :11:41.The Supreme Court has ruled that charging people

:11:42. > :11:44.to bring cases before employment tribunals is unlawful.

:11:45. > :11:46.The Government introduced the fees of up to ?1,200

:11:47. > :11:52.Now it must repay ?32 million to claimants.

:11:53. > :11:54.The trade union, Unison, had argued that the charges

:11:55. > :11:57.prevented workers getting access to justice.

:11:58. > :12:06.Our Legal Affairs Correspondent Clive Coleman reports.

:12:07. > :12:12.A massive victory for unison at the highest court in the land. Workers

:12:13. > :12:18.fees for bringing claims to employment tribunal 's gone. From

:12:19. > :12:21.builders to bankers, teachers two police officers, workers can bring

:12:22. > :12:27.tribunal claims for everything from unfair dismissal and pay disputes to

:12:28. > :12:31.discrimination. Issuing a claim and having a trial was free until four

:12:32. > :12:37.years ago, when to try and deter weak cases, the coalition government

:12:38. > :12:45.introduced fees of up to ?1200, and that was before you paid a lawyer a

:12:46. > :12:47.penny. That left this career taking his employer to task over his

:12:48. > :12:52.employment status with the fee he couldn't pay. He is still working

:12:53. > :12:56.for them and they are defending the claim. He could only pay to bring it

:12:57. > :13:02.with the help of his union. Most people working in this industry are

:13:03. > :13:06.living on the paycheque, basically. So it's really hard to take from

:13:07. > :13:12.your pocket for something that you don't even know when it will end. In

:13:13. > :13:16.March, Unison argued that tribunal fees would discourage true and

:13:17. > :13:21.denied workers access to justice. The court has now agreed. Today's

:13:22. > :13:25.ruling is huge. It means that not only the order which introduced

:13:26. > :13:28.tribunal fees back in 2013 is quashed, it also means that everyone

:13:29. > :13:33.who paid those fees, and that is a sum amounting to some ?32 million,

:13:34. > :13:39.will now get their money back. After a four-year legal struggle, Unison

:13:40. > :13:43.were delighted. We knew from day one that this was not just unlawful, it

:13:44. > :13:47.was immoral that low-paid workers should be put in this position.

:13:48. > :13:52.Faced with a damning assessment of the fees, the Government responded

:13:53. > :13:57.swiftly. We respect the judgment. We will take it fully on board and we

:13:58. > :14:02.are going to comply with it. Already, we are taking action today.

:14:03. > :14:05.Tribunal charges stopped today, making claims by workers like Ronnie

:14:06. > :14:08.a good deal more affordable. Clive Coleman, BBC News.

:14:09. > :14:18.Diesel and petrol cars will be banned from 2040

:14:19. > :14:20.as the government tries to tackle pollution.

:14:26. > :14:27.Ross Barkley's career at Everton is over.

:14:28. > :14:42.The midfielder has turned down a new contract with the club.

:14:43. > :14:45.More than 10,000 people in the south of France,

:14:46. > :14:47.including many British tourists, have been forced to leave

:14:48. > :14:48.their homes and campsites overnight, to escape

:14:49. > :14:53.Many had to spend the night in sports halls and other public

:14:54. > :14:56.buildings, while some have taken refuge on beaches.

:15:06. > :15:22.This hill behind me has been one of those this afternoon that has been

:15:23. > :15:27.burning, smoking all afternoon. It is one of a number we have seen

:15:28. > :15:31.around this area, we have seen flames, smoke and also wave after

:15:32. > :15:34.wave of these aircraft coming through, dumping their fire

:15:35. > :15:40.retardant material onto hills like this, only to see the flames shoot

:15:41. > :15:45.up behind them. Sometimes they are successful, sometimes they are not.

:15:46. > :15:51.10,000 people caught up in this, many hundreds, and thousands of them

:15:52. > :15:53.British holiday-makers. And for them, it has been a terrifying start

:15:54. > :15:57.to their summer season. The ranging power of

:15:58. > :16:00.the fires was at its most This was Bormes les-Mimosas,

:16:01. > :16:03.west of St Tropez, where hillsides were engulfed by the burning

:16:04. > :16:05.shrubs and trees. For hours, it swept

:16:06. > :16:07.across the countryside Thousands of people,

:16:08. > :16:12.including British tourists were forced out of campsites

:16:13. > :16:24.and other homes. At around midnight

:16:25. > :16:26.we were then woken up. I just looked up and 180

:16:27. > :16:30.degrees of my vision It was in the sky, it was amazing

:16:31. > :16:35.and a very, very scary sight to see. The sheer force of

:16:36. > :16:37.the fires were caught Strong winds gave them

:16:38. > :16:41.an unstoppable energy and many Even the 4000 firefighters

:16:42. > :16:46.and soldiers sent in, couldn't get control

:16:47. > :16:52.when faced with this. The fires lead to a huge

:16:53. > :16:55.evacuation of 10,000 people, They were told to spend the night

:16:56. > :17:02.on nearby beaches, out in the open. The morning brought no

:17:03. > :17:08.letup in the fires. Some tourists were far enough away

:17:09. > :17:13.to continue their holiday, but the lushness of their scenery

:20:54. > :20:55.reversing the policy Mr Trump said he'd reached

:20:56. > :21:10.the decision after consulting How surprisingly is this

:21:11. > :21:14.announcement? The Defence Secretary said a few months ago there would be

:21:15. > :21:19.a review of this policy, but the timing has come completely out of

:21:20. > :21:22.the blue. No one was expecting it. We rang the Pentagon expecting a

:21:23. > :21:29.comment, and they're referred everybody back to the White House.

:21:30. > :21:35.Donald Trump also announced it on Twitter. Where else? Saint Armed

:21:36. > :21:39.Forces cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and

:21:40. > :21:42.disruption that transgender in the military would entail. He has also

:21:43. > :21:47.said transgender personnel will not be able to serve in any capacity.

:21:48. > :21:52.There are already a few thousand serving in the US military at the

:21:53. > :21:57.moment. To the question, what happens to them now? There is no

:21:58. > :22:00.answer. It doesn't sound like the policy has been formulated. A gay

:22:01. > :22:05.Republican group said this is politics, pure and simple, nothing

:22:06. > :22:11.else to this. It seems this is a policy that is designed to appeal to

:22:12. > :22:15.Donald Trump's Conservative belts. This is a manifestation of what is

:22:16. > :22:20.known as the culture wars that has been raging in the US for 50 years.

:22:21. > :22:24.It affected abortion, gun law, gay rights and today it is transgender

:22:25. > :22:28.Armed Forces personnel. Many thanks. The British economy grew by just

:22:29. > :22:31.0.3% between April and June, according to the Office for National

:22:32. > :22:36.Statistics. The figure was driven by good retail

:22:37. > :22:39.figures and a booming film industry, but this is the economy's weakest

:22:40. > :22:42.six-month period for five years. Our business correspondent

:22:43. > :22:50.Simon Gompertz has the details. Everything we make, all our

:22:51. > :22:53.building, all the services provided, the total is still going up,

:22:54. > :22:57.but at a much reduced pace. Construction had the

:22:58. > :23:01.toughest three months. This Buckinghamshire

:23:02. > :23:12.house-building firm says higher about Brexit are making customers

:23:13. > :23:16.put off decisions. We've been given orders for jobs

:23:17. > :23:21.and at the last minute, the clients have pulled them

:23:22. > :23:23.away from us. While growth of gross domestic

:23:24. > :23:35.product or GDP each quarter was strong for most of last year,

:23:36. > :23:39.it's fallen back this year so the UK is lagging behind the fastest

:23:40. > :23:41.moving big economies. If we are struggling to push up

:23:42. > :23:43.production at a robust pace, then that's a worry because it puts

:23:44. > :23:48.a question over whether we can carry on creating new jobs and what sort

:23:49. > :23:52.of pay rises we can look forward to. The faltering building

:23:53. > :23:57.trade has a wider impact. Including on service

:23:58. > :23:59.businesses like the architect behind the same project,

:24:00. > :24:03.services like shops and restaurants have kept the economy growing,

:24:04. > :24:09.but here, there is concern. It's definitely not a crisis,

:24:10. > :24:11.because we are still busy on projects, we've still got

:24:12. > :24:14.lots of work on. It's just there is a slight

:24:15. > :24:17.levelling off from what has been a really quite productive last two

:24:23. > :24:26.trainees today, countered that the government is investing

:24:27. > :24:29.in skills and infrastructure, but he adds promising

:24:30. > :24:32.a Brexit transition period The transition period and interim

:24:33. > :24:38.structure with the European Union would give businesses and consumers

:24:39. > :24:41.that degree of certainty. And I think that would be a way

:24:42. > :24:45.of strengthening economic growth later in the year

:24:46. > :24:50.and into next year. One bright spot is a jump

:24:51. > :24:52.in film production, like the upcoming Star Wars,

:24:53. > :24:57.partly filmed in the UK. So far this year though,

:24:58. > :24:59.the economy isn't turning out to be the blockbuster we'd

:25:00. > :25:02.all like to see. Great Britain's Adam Peaty has

:25:03. > :25:09.won his second gold medal He won the 50 metre breastroke

:25:10. > :25:15.and just missed out on breaking Our Sports correspondent,

:25:16. > :25:38.Jo Wilson reports. When Adam Peaty swims, he has

:25:39. > :25:44.Britain's swimming with him, but he has won super fan. His grand in

:25:45. > :25:50.Uttoxeter. The World Championships in Budapest, she has travelled in

:25:51. > :25:57.person. To be here at this time, it meant the world to me. It is very

:25:58. > :26:02.touching. I couldn't go and see him in Rio, but as I say, this has made

:26:03. > :26:07.up for everything and I am so pleased I have come. It is 20 years

:26:08. > :26:14.since I have flown. But it was well worth it. After two world record

:26:15. > :26:20.Tuesday, was it too much to expect more from Adam Peaty today? There

:26:21. > :26:25.has been extensive attention on the muscle of the man, but so much rests

:26:26. > :26:30.on the technicality of Peaty's swim, he makes the old-fashioned

:26:31. > :26:38.breaststroke more active, efficient and more urgent. Yesterday he did 50

:26:39. > :26:44.metres in 29.5 seconds. That is what he was chasing again, as well as

:26:45. > :26:53.winning the race, of course. Just outside his own world record. Don't

:26:54. > :26:58.there be disappointed. As Peaty prepared for the railway, experts

:26:59. > :27:03.marvelled. We have seen, he has the top ten times in history. They are

:27:04. > :27:09.all Adam Peaty and it will just keep getting quicker and just be his name

:27:10. > :27:15.because no one is even close to him. 50 and 102 world champion, just 22,.

:27:16. > :27:17.Joe Wilson, BBC News. Time for a look at the weather,

:27:18. > :27:31.here's Jay Wynne. We saw some sunshine coming through,

:27:32. > :27:35.but also some pretty lively showers. That is what we have at the moment

:27:36. > :27:41.in parts of Yorkshire, Lincolnshire. Further showers across the North and

:27:42. > :27:48.west of the UK overnight, but these should be fairly dry. 10 degrees in

:27:49. > :27:51.northern Scotland. Big picture for tomorrow, looks unsettled, low

:27:52. > :27:56.pressure is in charge with lots of ice bars so it will be windy.

:27:57. > :28:01.Eastern side of Scotland should be reasonable. But Briggs of rain and

:28:02. > :28:06.showers in Northern Ireland and one two getting into north-western

:28:07. > :28:10.England early on. But the West Midlands and eastern England, it is

:28:11. > :28:15.a reasonable start. Make the most of that because towards the south and

:28:16. > :28:18.west we have cloud and showers. We will see the showers spreading

:28:19. > :28:23.across the UK so just about anywhere could see some rain at some stage

:28:24. > :28:26.through the day. It is a day of sunny spells and showers so there

:28:27. > :28:36.will be bright interludes. We get is 70 degrees in -- 17 degrees. In

:28:37. > :28:38.evening, showers around but in Northern Ireland and western

:28:39. > :28:42.Scotland, something a bit wetter and windy to get you through the

:28:43. > :28:45.evening. Closer this area of low pressure, that is where the rain

:28:46. > :28:50.will be on Friday. Further south we have this system heading in. After a

:28:51. > :28:53.dry start for the southern half of the UK, rain spreading in from the

:28:54. > :28:56.south and West and some of it will be heavy and further north and looks

:28:57. > :29:02.like getting cloudy with rain at times. Into the weekend it is cool

:29:03. > :29:05.and breezy. Showers around, but not all doom and gloom because there

:29:06. > :29:10.should be some spells of sunshine as well.

:29:11. > :29:14.That's it, so goodbye from me, but now on BBC One, let's
