ban by union training drivers and it will affect 15 rail companies and signals at the start of more disruption in a long—running dispute over pay. mark ashdown has more. this industrial _ mark ashdown has more. this industrial action _ mark ashdown has more. this industrial action is _ mark ashdown has more. in 3 industrial action is short of a strike day but drivers will not work overtime from first thing tomorrow until saturday night so six full days in total. that is important because most train companies rely on drivers working that overtime in order to run their full schedules. so this action will affect 15 operators running services across england. let's have a look at of them. we have got thameslink and southern down here. great northern, of course, lner and avante west coast — they run trains all the way from london up into scotland. so what can we expect? well, many have said they will have to run at reduced timetables. for example, some may cancel the first and last trains of the day. there could also be some short notice cancellations, as well. so, as ever, passengers advised to check before you travel. now, this dispute, of course, is about pay. aslef has rejected

an offer of a 4% rise backdated to last year and a further 4% this year. the operators and the government, of course, wanted the union to agree to changes to working practices, to modernise the railways. the good news, aslef doesn't have any full strike days planned at this stage, but the other railway union, the rmt, they are also in dispute over pay, jobs and working conditions, and they rejected a similar pay offer. and as you can see, they are planning three further 24—hour walk—outs on july 20th, the 22nd, and july 29th. they will involve guards and station staff. so, no further negotiations between the companies and either union are planned. i'm afraid there is a summer of rail disruption looking increasingly likely. mark ashdown reporting there. electric cars have been promoted as one of the solutions to reducing the world's dependence on fossil fuels and its production has increased significantly around the world but a report from the

university of technology in sydney says switching to electric elcteric cars could electric eleri could actually electric cars could actually cause more problems for the environment. also domination is an author of that and she explained why.— explained why. evs are important _ explained why. evs are important and - explained why. evs are important and they - explained why. evs are important and they are | important and they are important and they are important in terms of combustion vehicles right now and we know they are increasing demand for about transition minerals so this includes lithium, cobalt, copper, graphite, nickeland rare lithium, cobalt, copper, graphite, nickel and rare earth and we know that there is a new mining happening across the globe which is leading to some human rights impact and also environmental harm. e35 environmental harm. ev production _ environmental harm. ev production has been backed up significantly. is it too late when it comes to that impact, what you said about mining? it is not too late. ev production will continue for the next decade and onwards, so it is important that we think about
