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