Good morning, joanna, hi, good morning, everybody. 17 people have been injured, some seriously, in what Police Describe as a horrendous car crash in stevenage. Two vehicles collided yesterday evening at a car event on the streets, hitting spectators watching from the roadside. Police have asked witnesses to share footage of the crash with them. The government is set to commit to £2 billion in pay increases for Public Sector workers. The plans are set to be unveiled as one of theresa mays last acts as Prime Minister. Its the biggest Public Sector pay rise for six years, which comes following concerns that salaries are rising faster in the private sector. In a speech shortly, sajid javid will tell public figures they must moderate their language as part of a greater effort to tackle extremism. The home secretary will say everyone has part to play to stop the spread of poisonous ideologies. His words follow the publication of a poll suggesting 52 of respondents had witnessed extremism. Englands schools desperately need a multi billion pound cash injection thats according to a group of mps. The Education Select Committee found schools were increasingly being asked to deal with growing pupil numbers and rising costs, without adequate resources. Its calling for a ten year funding plan. The government says funding is currently at its highest level, but it does recognise schools are facing budgeting challenges. Drivers caught not wearing a seatbelt could face points on their licence as well as fines, in an attempt to cut deaths on britains roads. Other measures, including banning Young Drivers from the road at night time and teaching children about the dangers of using a phone near the road, are also being considered by the government. Landlords say that a government plan to ban no fault evictions in england will backfire as lower income tenants will find it hard to rent homes. Proposals to scrap section 21 notices would mean landlords could no longer evict tenants without a reason after their fixed term tenancy period ended. The plan aims to give tenants security and halt revenge evictions when tenants are thrown out for complaining.

In an exclusive interview, business tycoon Sir Richard Branson tells us that a no deal brexit would be the biggest disaster to hit britain in his lifetime and no sane businessman wouldnt be concerned. He was talking to us to mark the fact that its 50 years tomorrow since man first walked on the moon. Before we hearfrom him, lets take a look at how that day made broadcast history. Lift off, we have a lift off. Columbia, columbia, this is houston. Im supposed to float and. And. Fly me to the moon let me play among the stars. Theres a great deal of contrast in it and currently its upside down. History in the making, of course. Well, chloe tilley has been talking to Sir Richard Branson who told her how the event had inspired his love of space. 50 years ago since the moon landings. I know that you posted a picture on twitter, a very youthful Richard Branson watching that. Was that the moment that you really got excited about space travel . It was. I was 19 years old, i was crowded in front of a small little black and White Television set with my two sisters and parents, and we just marvelled at what neil and buzz had just achieved. I remember going outside and looking up at the moon and thinking, good grief, there is two people actually standing on the moon. And i remember my dad saying, you know, one day you children will be become astronauts. And i really believed him. But decades went by, governments were not interested in making you or me astronauts, or people watching this programme, so 15 years ago, i thought, screw it, lets do it, and thats went down to the local Registry Office and registered the name Virgin Galactic and, being an optimist, virgin intergalactic airways. And we set upon the mission of finding the best engineers in the world to Start Building spaceships and mother ships and rockets and space ports, and its been an exciting 14, 15 years. It is, of course, a challenge isnt it . Because the uk government this year declared a Climate Emergency and they want to be Carbon Neutral by 2050. Thats difficult to square when youre looking at things like space travel and your Virgin Galactic empire. How do you square that . We square it by first of all making clear that space has done more for this earth than almost any other industry. So, you know, like, were putting up a massive array of satellites around the earth which will can help connect the five billion people who are not connected. That will help them with health, it will help them with education and other things. We have managed to bring the price of putting people up into space down to roughly the same price as going to new york and back on a Virgin Atlantic upper class seat, and so dramatically dropped it from what it costs to go up on a nasa spaceship or a russian spaceship. And were also developing, with other people, clean fuels. So we think that we can actually bring the environmental cost down to almost zero. I wanted to ask you, actually, about the cleaner fuels, because i know its back in 2006, wasnt it, that you pledged £i. 6 billion to fight Climate Change. Tell us more about how that money has been used. So, in many different ways, but, i mean, theres one company that particularly excites me. Its called la nzatech. Lanzatech take the waste products from aluminium plants and steel plants and instead ofjust going up chimneys, into the air, it goes through a process and it comes out, ultimately, as jet aviation fuel. And Virgin Atlantic has agreed that we will get that fuel first. And weve already tested one or two flights with it and now its up to lanzatech to Start Building factories next to steel plants and aluminium plants. You know, weve set up the carbon war room, which is working with lots and lots of industries around the world in trying to come up with imaginative ways to tackle Climate Change. Tonight, on my birthday, i go back to Necker Island for a meeting of something called the b team, which is leaders like paul polman from unilever and Arianna Huffington and others, where, as a business community, weve come together to try to push governments towards a clean future. You know, weve been talking to the British Government about introducing something called a clean energy dividend, where each company would be forced to have a dividend against their dirty fuels and to invest that money into clean fuels. So, anyway, were doing what we can. I know that you said in february this year that you wanted to have flown in space by the 50th anniversary of the moon landings. I mean, im guessing nothing is going to go up in space tomorrow. So, when are you expecting to get that going . Well, we decided to move the whole operation to our new space port in new mexico and that were in the process of doing. So its delayed my flight a little bit because, when we get to new mexico, we want to do two or three more tests, final test flights before i go up. But i will be going up in months, not years, and ill be wary to give you a specific date. What do you think Aviation Companies need to do to make sure that the impact of aviation on Climate Change is reduced . Cos were told its one of the most damaging things that we can do. Aviation Companies Must do and are doing a lot. I mean, Virgin Atlantic will have reduced its Carbon Footprint by over 30 by, i think, 2025, by encouraging manufacturers to build the planes from carbon composite materials, not heavy metal, by making the engines more efficient. But, ultimately, the best way of making aviation really clean is for Battery Technology breakthrough to take place so that one day we can actually travel across the atlantic battery powered, and very soon people will be able to travel across the English Channel battery powered. Or, you know, using Companies Like lanzatech with clean fuels. So, lots being done. And, you know, aviation is one thing. Youll find if you leave your air conditioner turned on, thats not good there. Im afraid theres lots of things we need to do, all of us, in order to make sure that we get to that Carbon Neutrality by 2050. I also want to ask you, last week you were warning about the potential disaster for the pound of a no deal brexit. Are you concerned about the impact that could have on your businesses if it happens . Very concerned. I dont think there would be any sane businessmen in britain who wasnt extremely concerned about the impact a no brexit deal would have on their businesses, therefore on their staff, and therefore on the economy as a whole. It will tank the pound against the dollar. It has already been tanked since the referendum. Gone down from 1. 52 to about 1. 23. I think itll go down to parity. So it will be one of the worst disasters that has hit britain in my lifetime. In fact, the worst disaster thats hit britain in my lifetime. So hopefully sense will prevail and, you know, all the various people, whether its the cbi or the bank of england, should be listened to and us business people, and hopefully we can reach a decent agreement with europe. Richard branson, thank you so much for your time, and have a lovely birthday. Thank you so much. Cheers. Sir Richard Branson in an exclusive interview with us. The home secretary says he wants public leaders to show greater moral leadership to help the country tackle the growing rise of extremism. Sajid javid is speaking at an event in central london. We can listen in right now. He wasnt just insulted by we can listen in right now. He wasntjust insulted by a classmate, he was attacked. Not in the 1970s but just a few he was attacked. Not in the 1970s butjust a few months ago. No one can hear his moving story and deny that we still have a problem in this country. And it is notjust racism. With the blind hate of extremism showing its face in many ugly forms. In 2015, we published our Ground Breaking counter extremism strategy. Back then, the Prime Minister led the charge as home secretary and i commend her pioneering work. But four years on its time to take stock and to talk openly about the threat and admit that it has got worse. Yes, progress has been made. But when i hear what happened to that schoolboy, i know that we have to do more. So, we set up that we have to do more. So, we set up the commission for countering extremism to help us do just that andi extremism to help us do just that and i thank them for their work so farand and i thank them for their work so far and while i do welcome their initial findings, they laid far and while i do welcome their initialfindings, they laid bare the ugly truth. Just over half of the respondents to their consultation had witnessed extremism in some way. 0ne had witnessed extremism in some way. One in five had seen it in their own area. Almost a quarter online. The targets a re area. Almost a quarter online. The targets are many and varied and the top group identified by the commission is the most at risk from extremism, everyone. When over half of us having witnessed extremism it has gone from a minority issue to one that affects us all. And the way we all live our lives is under unprecedented attack. People are getting angry about more things. And extremists are quick to try and exploit that. You know, in 2015, our focus was on exploit that. You know, in 2015, our focus was on extreme exploit that. You know, in 2015, our focus was on extreme islamist, particularly the lure of daesh. While the stronghold has been wiped out, the threat certainly remains. But now the fault lines dividing our society have splintered and spread. Reports of far right extremism, anti semitism, anti muslim hatred, theyre all on the rise. Women are being robbed of their opportunities by religious extremists. The internet has further emboldened those who are inclined to hate. Angry words they whip up a climate of fear and incite hate and violence and public disorder, oppression and segregation. Women beaten on a bus because they are gay. Sledgehammer attacks on mosques. Children being forced into marriage. Christians, muslims and jews being slaughtered in sri lanka, christchurch and pittsburgh. Public discourse is hardening and becoming less constructive. Around the world, populism and even open racism have catapulted extremists to power. Now, im proud to say this has not happened in mainstream politics here. We are naturally liberally minded people. We remain the most successful multiracial democracy in the world. Ukip have floundered since they moved further right, with their leader being advised by edl founder Stephen Yaxley lennon, a man who is now behind bars. That decision sparked a wave of resignations and their support has collapsed. And we must give credit where credit is due. So i applaud nigel farage for walking away, branding ukip thugs and extremists. And even though his brexit party has not made my life any easier, i want to be clear, they are not extremists. Because, it doesnt help to exaggerate the problem, to demonise anyone with a different view and to see danger when it is not there. Thankfully, our party has not there. Thankfully, our party has not gone down the same road as much of europe and the us our politics has not gone down. But we must act 110w has not gone down. But we must act now to avoid sliding into the barely masked racism of nationalism. Because there is one thing i know for sure about this country. We are better than that. We wontjust accept a rising anger. We wontjust slap ourselves on our back and talk about the success of our counter extremism strategy. We will leave sajid javid theyre talking about extremism and saying in this country he is comfortable with where we are but we are expecting him to go on to say public figures must moderate their language as part of a greater effort to tackle extremism, and he is expected to say also that he knows what it is like to be told to go back where he came from, following on of course from those comments from donald trump, who has been accused of racism for telling four Democratic Congress women to go back to the countries they originally came from and that is something we are going to be talking about a little bit later on the programme. Do let us know your thoughts on that, the usual ways of getting in touch. Two million Public Sector workers, including Police Officers, soldiers and teachers are to get above inflation pay rises. But critics say the plan isnt properly funded and will lead to cuts elsewhere. Lets get more from our Political Correspondent iain watson. The biggest Public Sector pay rise for six years. Tell us how it breaks down . It will be the biggest pay rise for some years but critics say it is nowhere near enough after those years of austerity. In effect, what the government is offering is above inflation increases for some Public Sector workers, so for civil serva nts Public Sector workers, so for Civil Servants they will get 2 and i the rate of inflation, but for Police Officers they will get 2. 5 . Hopefully we will hear from sajid javid about that later. Similarly, so javid about that later. Similarly, so will those in the military. There will be an even bigger increase for most teachers, round 2. 75 . This data is not supposed to be out until monday but it was leaked to the times but as far as i am aware they are correct. As long as inflation busting increases creates a political challenge for Phillip Hammonds success at numb
