:04:26. > :04:28.tribute. Drivers could be hit by a new daily
:04:29. > :04:31.charge under the Mayor's plan He's previously announced plans to
:04:32. > :04:35.create an ultra-low emissions zone. Today, we learned when its coming
:04:36. > :04:38.in and how much motorists will pay. You can't see it,
:04:39. > :04:43.but the air in London, A stark warning from the mayor
:04:44. > :04:47.to these schoolchildren He compared today's air
:04:48. > :04:53.to the great smog in 1952, which led to the government passing
:04:54. > :04:56.the Clean Air Act. If you opened your front door,
:04:57. > :05:00.you would step out and you couldn't see in front of you,
:05:01. > :05:02.so it was incredibly visible. This was a smog that lasted not one
:05:03. > :05:06.day, not two days, but four days, But the really, I suppose
:05:07. > :05:10.the critical element was that The mayor has put cleaning up
:05:11. > :05:16.London's air at the heart of his mayoralty and today he set
:05:17. > :05:20.out a timetable for his plan. On top of the current
:05:21. > :05:24.congestion charge of ?11.50, from October this year a further
:05:25. > :05:27.T-Charge of ?10 will hit those But from April 2019 that will become
:05:28. > :05:34.the ULEZ, and that charge And by 2021, that's to be extended
:05:35. > :05:41.out as far as the North and South circulars for the most polluting
:05:42. > :05:44.cars, and it will be charged across the whole of Greater London
:05:45. > :05:47.for lorries and buses, Nowhere else in the
:05:48. > :05:54.world has done this. What we're doing is the ultralow
:05:55. > :05:57.emissions zone for central London by 2019, subject to consultation,
:05:58. > :06:01.that's the quickest we can go. We're going to go London wide
:06:02. > :06:07.for lorries, coaches and buses by 2020, subject to consultation,
:06:08. > :06:11.and the earliest we can do up to the South circular
:06:12. > :06:15.and North circular is 2021. We've got to give people a chance
:06:16. > :06:18.to move away from diesel. That's an adjustment
:06:19. > :06:20.that will be difficult for some business owners,
:06:21. > :06:22.like Jeremy, who runs this It's going to make a huge
:06:23. > :06:26.impact to the business, because it means virtually changing
:06:27. > :06:33.the entire fleet. The five we've changed her body cost
:06:34. > :06:36.just under ?750,000 and to upgrade the rest of the fleet will cost
:06:37. > :06:39.about ?2 million. Not the sort of money you keep
:06:40. > :06:42.in your back pocket. But for green campaigners it falls
:06:43. > :06:44.short of what the Mayor I was absolutely
:06:45. > :06:53.expecting much more. We were hoping that heavy
:06:54. > :06:55.goods vehicles, lorries, buses and coaches would all have
:06:56. > :06:58.to be ULEZ compliant by 2019. That's been pushed back to 2020,
:06:59. > :07:03.and that means more people being exposed to more dirty
:07:04. > :07:05.air for longer. The mayor hopes that introducing
:07:06. > :07:08.the ULEZ will lead to a 50% cut There will now be a public
:07:09. > :07:16.consultation on the plans. So as we've heard former
:07:17. > :07:23.Mayor Ken Livingstone has been suspended from the Labour Party
:07:24. > :07:31.following a disciplinary hearing It's not the first time
:07:32. > :07:35.the outspoken politician has fallen It was 31 years ago that
:07:36. > :07:38.Ken Livingstone waved goodbye He'd been its leader for five years,
:07:39. > :07:43.building a reputation on keeping fares down and courting controversy
:07:44. > :07:46.with some of the company he kept But he wasn't out of power
:07:47. > :07:49.for long, becoming MP Never far from the headlines,
:07:50. > :07:53.London's former lead politician decided he'd have a tilt at the top
:07:54. > :07:55.job again, when Tony Blair's government decided
:07:56. > :07:58.that capital needed a mayor. Folk hero to some, dangerous
:07:59. > :08:01.extremist to others, Ken Livingstone's always been
:08:02. > :08:03.a colourful character. Only Tony Blair didn't
:08:04. > :08:07.want Ken Livingstone. I think that would be disastrous
:08:08. > :08:09.for the Labour Party, Frank Dobson was selected
:08:10. > :08:16.as Labour's candidate, You can say now, are you going
:08:17. > :08:21.to support me or are you going Ken Livingstone leaving
:08:22. > :08:29.the Labour Party, to I have been forced to choose
:08:30. > :08:36.between the party I love and who I've given 31
:08:37. > :08:39.years of my life to, and upholding the democratic
:08:40. > :08:40.rights of Londoners. He won easily, back
:08:41. > :08:42.running London once more. As I was saying before I was so
:08:43. > :08:46.rudely interrupted 14 years ago... And before long, the Labour
:08:47. > :08:50.Party let him back in. It looks very much as if red Ken
:08:51. > :08:55.is having the last laugh. He went on to win the mayoral race
:08:56. > :08:57.as Labour's candidate the following year, but in 2005
:08:58. > :09:01.became involved in a high profile anti-Semitism row,
:09:02. > :09:03.after these comments to a newspaper reporter one
:09:04. > :09:20.night outside City Hall. It led him to being temporarily
:09:21. > :09:23.suspended from office a year later, and at the next election he lost
:09:24. > :09:28.to Boris Johnson. Ken Livingstone was proudly rolled
:09:29. > :09:31.out as one of Sadiq Khan's early backers when he decided to run
:09:32. > :09:34.for mayor, but after the outburst that got him into trouble,
:09:35. > :09:36.Labour's candidate for City Hall I'm disgusted and appalled
:09:37. > :09:42.by what Ken has been saying. Of course there has to be
:09:43. > :09:44.due process, but he's Tonight Ken Livingstone's been
:09:45. > :09:47.suspended from the party for two years, one of
:09:48. > :09:52.which he's already served. But let's get a check
:09:53. > :10:10.on the weather with Wendy. Thank you, Mrs T in Brentford
:10:11. > :10:15.spotted a fleeting glimpse of blue sky today. I think we will see a few
:10:16. > :10:20.more sunny spells through this week and in those it will feel quite
:10:21. > :10:24.warm, but not tonight. We are going to have clear skies. Almost clear
:10:25. > :10:28.completely out there at a moment and the temperature will fall back, 6-7,
:10:29. > :10:34.a little bit lower for some. There could be a touch of frost in
:10:35. > :10:38.sheltered spots. A sunny start tomorrow and a common theme in the
:10:39. > :10:42.next few days, rather more cloudy afternoon. Average temperatures up
:10:43. > :10:52.to about 14 degrees. This Thursday we'll be chasing some cloud around,
:10:53. > :10:55.some sunny from time to time and it will take one of those to get
:10:56. > :10:57.temperatures up to about 15 degrees. Light winds and dry again. On the
:10:58. > :11:01.outlook, more of the same for Friday and into the weekend it warms up a
