Migration. She says the attorney general and the lord chancellor need to take action over how law firms behave as the number of Channel Crossings continues to climb, with more than 14,700 people intercepted in small boats so far this year. Dame priti warns that the clock is ticking for the government to implement its new illegal migration bill need a deterrent factor . For a start , and removals and a start, and removals and returns. My rwanda plan was returns. My rwanda plan was central to that. The returns agreements that i have put in place and others are now putting in place. We have to get planes leaving the country and show that if you come here illegally, you cant just get a free pass being firm is actually the stance that we should take, and that means removing people and returning people to other third countries or country of origin as well. Dame pretty also spoke to Camilla Tominey about the net zero target, saying the government needs to press pause on the 2050 climate goal. Public are not ready for this and importantly, we cannot just have this state, the Government Central government just sort of saying across again, institutions, local councils , institutions, local councils, county councils, this, these are the targets that you have to meet when we dont have the technology, were not ready. Now, if we want a sensible conversation about climate and the impact of climate change, recognising there are problems is one thing, absolutely, but making sure that we have the tools and the ability that doesnt impose costs and taxes on ordinary people , the on ordinary people, the governments Energy Security plans will be unveiled this week , aiming to power up britain from britain. The Prime Minister and the Energy Security secretary are due to meet bosses from the uks oil and gas. Renewable and Nuclear Industries.

Lower down on the income scale and, you know, and were taxing our oil and gas industry, which has been mentioned in this at 75 at well , the energy and at 75 at well, the energy and security secretary says he and his family have struggled to open accounts at major banks in the wake of the nigel farage.

What ive learned in the three weeks since i came out, as it were , ive just been it were, ive just been inundated by Small Businesses, by folk all around the country. People in absolute fear , terror people in absolute fear, terror lives being ruined. Thousands of lives being ruined. Thousands of businesses being closed and the Prime Minister is ordering a review into the rollout of low traffic neighbourhoods. The scheme, which has been used by councils to stop drivers cutting through residential areas, has been seen by some as an attack on motorists. In an interview with the sunday telegraph, rishi sunak said he supports peoples right to use their cars to do all the things that matter to them. Shadow International Trade secretary Nick Thomas Symonds says the pm should leave the decision to local areas is our position is that it local areas is our position is thatitis local areas is our position is that it is for Community Bodies to make these decisions, whether it is in terms of low traffic neighbourhoods where by the way, there are communities up and down the country, you want to reduce traffic going through their neighbourhoods , whether it their neighbourhoods, whether it is in terms of you know, clean air zones. Weve talked obviously specifically about ulez. Yes, we certainly a well planned certainly believe a well planned low traffic neighbourhood is a good thing. Good thing. And finally, the hs2 programme has been given a red rating by the infrastructure watchdog. It believes the timetable for construction of the first two phases of the rail line from london to birmingham and then on to crewe are unachievable. While the ipas unachievable. While the ipas annual report , which follows the annual report, which follows the resignation of chief executive Mark Thurston, cites major issues with the schedule and the budget. Hs2 issues with the schedule and the budget. Hs2 was initially issues with the schedule and the budget. Hs2 was initially slated budget. Hs2 was initially slated to open in 2026. This has now been delayed by up to seven years. This is dup news. Well bnng years. This is dup news. Well bring you more as it happens. Now lets get straight back to. Emily thank you, ray. So the Prime Minister rishi sunak, has claimed he is on the side of drivers as he orders a full review of the rollout of controversial low traffic neighbourhoods. So controversial low traffic neighbourhoods. So in controversial low traffic neighbourhoods. So in such neighbourhoods. So in such plans, local councils attempt to limit traffic in town and city centres , with drivers centres, with drivers often prevented using quiet prevented from using quiet residential roads as three routes as theyre designed to essentially uptake essentially encourage the uptake of other modes of transport and get rid of cars. Encourage people to get out of their cars and use a bicycle. Well, perhaps. But others see the plans as an attack on motorists and have urged prime and have urged the Prime Minister to defending minister to lean in to defending drivers engage in a rethink drivers and engage in a rethink on zero amid hopes of on net zero amid hopes of attacking labours green ambitions. So were going to go straight to lisa hartle gb News Reporter whos been following this story very closely. She joins now. Joins us from hackney now. Hackney has had quite a lot of controversy over their use of low traffic neighbourhoods. Many are very angry. Am i right. Hello. Yes, well, hackney has the largest coverage of ltns in london, around 70 of the borough is covered. And so what is an ltn . So low traffic neighbourhood zone. So as you can see behind me, theres one of the roads thats affected. Its to try and stop vehicles going down there, apart from buses, ambulance and ambulances, Service EmergencyServices Going down. Roads like this. Theres down. Roads like this. Theres planters in the road to stop lorries, for example, going down. But what weve seen since weve been here is motorbike saw a motorbike go onto the pavement to avoid going down. Theres a camera just over there. Whether hell still get picked up, i dont know. But i spoke to some of the residents who live around here because the idea of this is to obviously reduce the traffic going roads and then going down these roads and then to quality to improve air quality for people live and make people who live here and make the one said the roads safer. One lady said that seen a huge that she has seen a huge reduction in traffic. She said this road used to be gridlocked most of the time. So now people are able use this as are not able to use this as a through route, are using the other so she said other roads around. So she said she more taking she sees more parents taking their kids to school or using bikes. The that bikes. You know, the bikes that you what would you you see with the what would you call them . The things attached to children can to them where the children can be because the roads be taken down because the roads are safer. However, i have spoken to another lady and she said that said problems for her is that she also sees what weve seen today with the motorbikes going onto the pavement instead of going down there, which she said is and is obviously more dangerous. And then she has, then the other problem she has, she after a long night she said, is after a long night out, she gets back at the early hours of the morning. Ubers cant bring so has cant bring her home, so she has to walk the streets to then walk down the streets late night on her or late at night on her own or early hours of the morning. And then there was another lady who said is constantly said her husband is constantly getting by accidentally getting fines by accidentally driving this driving down roads such as this one. Has, of one. Now rishi sunak has, of course, ordered a review course, looked ordered a review into this. The department of transport, into just how transport, to look into just how these working, how effective these are working, how effective they because another they are, because again, another lady to around here lady i spoke to around here said that she the that actually she sees the problem pushing from problem pushing traffic from areas affluent areas where its an affluent areas where its an affluent area into the areas where people who live with less money. So actually creating the problem, making worse for making the problem worse for them, congestion around them, making congestion around these worse. So its going these areas worse. So its going to be were going to find out. Itll be interesting to find out what review finds what what the review finds because is this is this improving air quality for everybody or is it simply pushing the problem out to other areas . But its not clear yet areas . But its not clear yet whether councils, whether the government will be allowed to actually change these schemes that in place or indeed that are in place or indeed scrap going despite scrap them Going Forward despite what finds as well. What the review finds as well. Its very interesting, isnt it, live on one it, because if you live on one of these residential roads where theres l10, must be theres an l10, it must be lovely because theres barely any that passes, any traffic that passes, very calm. Probably an improved quality of life if you happen to live on one of those roads. But what seems to happen is all that traffic gets pushed out onto other roads you have other roads and you have gridlock seems to be gridlock and it seems to be causing the most harm to Small Business people, self employed people who maybe people who go about maybe plumbers, maybe self employed couriers cant go about couriers who cant go about their business or their journeys are massively elongated. They cant get from a to b, so the number of jobs they do obviously is reduced less money. It is is reduced less money. So it is a bit of an attack, perhaps a bit of a regressive attack because it well, it costs people who need to go about and do their business in way. Their business in that way. Well, exactly. And if you do accidentally drive down, for example, the street behind me, thats a £60 fine that youre going to be issued with. And this isnt just a scheme thats here, course, its other here, of course, its other cities around the country such as bristol and birmingham. And again, more problems are being reported as here. Reported the same as here. Indeed, if you live in this road, then yeah, its much better. Air quality is going to have been affected. Less have been affected. Theres less traffic, the people traffic, but then the People Living the parts living in the other parts where the drivers are having to take those then those routes around and then theres more congestion. Another person i spoke to around here said then said that the trouble is then the congestion that get the more congestion that you get elsewhere, cars are elsewhere, then the cars are having sit there for longer. Having to sit there for longer. So theres an increase in so theres still an increase in air those areas. So air pollution in those areas. So yeah, theres a lot of yeah, but theres not a lot of information i tried yeah, but theres not a lot of informaearlier i tried yeah, but theres not a lot of informaearlier to i tried yeah, but theres not a lot of informaearlier to find tried yeah, but theres not a lot of informaearlier to find like a looking earlier to find like a map of all the different areas of where are, theres of where they are, but theres not a lot of information and no data to really show exactly how many these areas have in many of these areas have been in implemented here or across the country. Yes. If you were if you happen to be trying to drive around central london, it is quite a difficult experience. I must say. Lisa hartle they are gb News Reporter live from hackney. One of the most lightened areas in london. So id love to bring in my panel now to discuss that, im joined by gb news presenter Darren Grimes and former labour mp Stephen Pound. Thank you very Stephen Pound. Thank you very much indeed forjoining me this much indeed for joining me this afternoon. Its interesting afternoon. So its interesting what there, stephen. What lisa says there, stephen. These schemes are good for people who happen to live on that residential street that is now and quiet. But what now peaceful and quiet. But what about the gridlock down the road . 7 can we 7 can we have . Can we have a reality 7 can we have a reality check here . No. No. Okay, stephen, always, always go on. Look for 50 years, to my certain knowledge , weve been certain knowledge, weve been stopping rat running by making one way streets, blocking off streets. Weve always done it. If youre going let the if youre going to let the motorists like mr toad going motorists be like mr toad going up and roaring the up and roaring through the countryside and people countryside and knocking people into fine. Thats great countryside and knocking people int the fine. Thats great countryside and knocking people int the motorist,. Thats great countryside and knocking people int the motorist, butats great countryside and knocking people int the motorist, but its great for the motorist, but its pretty bad for city. Look, pretty bad for the city. Look, rishi sunaks comments were both childish thought childish and frankly ill thought out. If he wants to take away and of the last and destroy one of the last vestiges local government vestiges of local government democracy, then let him out democracy, then let him come out and it. And say it. Is not to do with this is not to do with democracy. These systems were often imposed the often imposed during the pandemic proper pandemic without proper consultation against locals wishes because there is a strong anti car lobby, particularly in local councils in london, where they believe that this is the way to get cars gone. Im sorry, they are democratic. You can vote on them. Every council vote them. Every council has a vote on things ealing where on the things in ealing where im know, had eight im from, you know, we had eight uns im from, you know, we had eight ltns people they wanted ltns people voted. They wanted to two of them and lose six. Why do they bother with consulting . Yeah, well, because the consultation is of course you have whether consultation is of course you hav even whether consultation is of course you haveven going whether consultation is of course you haveven going wear|ether consultation is of course you haveven going wear oneer consultation is of course you haveven going wear one on its even going to wear one on this but then if its not this thing. But then if its not popular, it doesnt work. Thought, you know, popular, it doesnt work. A thought, you know, popular, it doesnt work. A man thought, you know, popular, it doesnt work. A man of thought, you know, popular, it doesnt work. A man of the ught, you know, popular, it doesnt work. A man of the labourou know, popular, it doesnt work. A man of the labour party, ow, as a man of the labour party, you would want to support the working you speak to working man. And if you speak to people who need to around people who need to get around london and other areas the london and other areas of the country their cars because country in their cars because they cant carry around all their in their their toolkit with them in their handbag. Emily i speak the handbag. Emily i speak as the father of electrician. Father of an electrician. Is a sparky. He drives my son is a sparky. He drives around in his van, but hes all his working life. Been his working life. Hes been certain cant go certain streets you cant go down and quite frankly, if he cant find your way around as your about driving around your point about driving around central london, earth in central london, who on earth in their would drive their right mind would drive down Oxford Street . In central london. My car in central london. Oxford fined oxford got fined. I got fined because think i went into an because i think i went into an you should be let off you. Hands up. I think i went into an ltn and mistake because it wasnt and by mistake because it wasnt actually that obvious. Darren its not just london though, right . These things are happening in newcastle, example , and newcastle, for example, and other the country other places around the country and i see it as an assault on motorists. I actually see it as this theory to try and get this nudge theory to try and get people out of their cars. Thats what want to do ultimately what they want to do ultimately to have fewer people. Whats wrong with that, darren . Well because and because its about freedom and liberty. Should all be free liberty. We should all be free to drive cars if we want to. I dont accept that air quality in london has been getting worse. London has been getting worse. Actually, if you compare it to 1970, parties matter down by 76, at least. So air qualit
