25/10/2016 Victoria Derbyshire

Hello it's Tuesday, 9 o'clock, I'm Victoria Derbyshire.

Welcome to the programme, our top story today.

Heathrow airport looks set to expand with a third runway,

cue celebrations from some businesses and protests

We hope the Prime Minister chooses Heathrow expansion because most

local residents around the airport support it, as do businesses small

and large up and down the country, international airlines and crucially

the majority of MPs. I am Jenny from Richmond, this is really bad news

for West London residents and a lot of people will be very angry about

this. Also today, four people have been

killed on a ride at a theme park Plus, demolition of the so-called

jungle camp at Calais continues this morning,

around 6000 people are thought I will go with the people. If I will

come back, I will try again. And we'll speak to the women who're

behind a campaign to ban the phrase Welcome to the programme,

we're live until 11. Particularly keen to hear

from you this morning if you're an "essex girl" -

do you find the phrase offensive? Do you support the idea of banning

it from the dictionary? Do get in touch on all the stories

we're talking about this morning, use the hashtag Victoria live

and If you text, you will be charged Our top story today and it's

going to dominate the programme, it's a debate that's gone

on for decades but after years of discussion and delay,

the government is set rule on whether or not to

expand Heathrow airport. A study last year recommended

a third runway at Heathrow but other options include a new runway

at Gatwick or extending one But the ministerial decision

won't be the end of the matter as our Transport Correspondent

Richard Westcott explains. Decisions don't come

much bigger than this, The first private bid suggests

doubling the length of a current Then there is the two

official airport bids. Here at Gatwick they are already

running by far the busiest single runway airport in the world,

so they want to build a new second runway behind

those trees over there. You get an incredible view from here

on the Heathrow control tower. Over there is where the airport

wants to build its third runway, where the Brownfield starts,

behind that blue building, That last Heathrow proposal

is easily the favourite to win, The leafy suburb of Teddington

is not officially blighted by Heathrow noise but for a third

of the year they get this. Last night our child was woken

up just past midnight, The last two weeks,

every day, every minute. Now residents plan to challenge any

expansion in the courts. I know people who are having to move

after 30 years of living here because they

cannot cope any more. They are going around their homes

with noise cancelling headphones. No one is safe, no one within 30

miles of Heathrow airport is safe of waking up one day and finding

themselves suffering If, as expected, Theresa May

does choose Heathrow, things could get awkward

with the guy she sits I will lie down with you in front

of those bulldozers The Government picks a favourite

today but MPs won't vote With so many protests and legal

challenges in its path, some doubt plans to grow Heathrow

will ever get off the ground. Our political guru Norman Smith

joins us now. Is it actually going to happen?

If you talk to ministers they say yes, this time definitely it's

happening. But hey, this is the longest running soap opera in

British politics, it's been going on for what, 40 years or so, people

first started talking about it when planes had propellors and it was

chocks away and all that sort of thing and here we are still talking

about it. The signs are that inside Downing Street ministers are now set

to give the go-ahead to a third runway at Heathrow. That is not the

end of the process. That is only the start of an incredibly long,

fraught, difficult business because there'll have to be a year's

consultation when there'll be all sorts of objections from

environmental groups, local groups and so on and so forth, you will

probably get a by-election prompted by Zac Goldsmith dead opposed to

Heathrow, there'll be a vote in Parliament, who knows what Boris

Johnson or Justine Greening will do. Then Heathrow will have to submit

the get tailed planning permission. That's when the legal eagles land

and you will see a battering, which means realistically you are talking

a decade or more before any new airport capacity is built at

Heathrow if indeed it is Heathrow that gets the go-ahead.

Thank you. Julian Worricker is in the BBC

Newsroom with a summary Four people have been killed

on a ride at the Dreamworld theme men and two women died

while on a river rapids ride, but gave no information on how

the accident happened. Dreamworld bills itself

as Australia's biggest theme park with more than 50

rides and attractions. With us now is Our Australia

Correspondent Phil Mercer Tell us more about what happened

here, Phil? We have been hearing from ambulance officials here in

eastern Australia and they say that two of the victims were thrown from

a raft on the Thunder River Rapids Ride at Dreamworld, the other two

victims were apparently trapped signed, all succumbing to very

serious injuries. The park has been closed down, pending an

investigation by the authorities. The police in Queensland say that a

crime scene has been established. We understand that earlier in the day,

this particular ride, it's billed as one of the more gentle experiences

for families with young children at Dreamworld, was shut down on at

least one occasion because of a mechanical problem or problems, so

no doubt that mechanical issue will be at the heart of this

investigation into this awful tragedy at one of Australia's most

popular tourist destinations. Thank you very much.

The demolition by French authorities of the Calais migrant camp known

More than 2,000 of its residents were moved out yesterday

and dispersed around France, where they can apply for asylum.

An orderly queue of people there at the moment waiting to go through the

process of being registered as they leave the camp. We'll keep an eye on

events there throughout the day for you here on BBC News. Those are the

live scenes in Calais. At least 59 cadets and guards have

been killed after militants attacked a police college in the Pakistani

city of Quetta. Three gunmen wearing suicide vests

entered the building late last night and opened fire -

all three were later killed during the operation to retake

the training facility. So-called IS has claimed

responsibility for the attack. A paramilitary official told

reporters some of the gunmen were wearing suicide vests. The training

centre is just outside the city of Quetta. The capital of the province.

The same centre has been attacked twice in the last ten years, in 2008

and 2006. Pakistan's been trying to quell an insurgency from the rebels

for years here. Separatists have carried out attacks throughout the

province while activists accuse Government forces of human rights

crimes. It's the country's longest running civil conflict.

Labour's been fined for breaking the rules in the 2015 election campaign.

The eight-foot headstone carved with the former leader Ed Miliband's key

pledges was among the payments missing from Labour's 2015 election

campaign. That's a summary of the latest BBC

News. More at 9. 30. Thank you very much. In the next few

mince we'll be live at Heathrow. Edward says, why not allow Heathrow

and gat wick to expand, thereby saving all the wrangling and Vincent

says, by the time the new runway is built, the new expansion won't be

enough wherever it's built, they should expand Heathrow Gatwick and

Stansted, it makes much more sense. Let's get some sport

with Hugh Ferris. Hugh, a fairly startling story this

morning involving the owner of Watford Football Club

and a forged letter. Yes, hello, good morning. These are

the latest revelations from the Daily Telegraph who've obtained a

copy of a letter which they say falsifies financial information used

to prove the club's Italian owner had enough money when he took over

from his father back in 2014 this was when Watford were in the

Championship at the time, before the season that they were actually

promoted. It's part of the process the Football League went through to

make sure potential owners are fit and proper. They would have needed

all sorts of evidence, including evidence that he could bankroll the

club. A letter was provided to them on headed paper from HSBC who, it

turns out, weren't even the club's holding company bank. So there's

nothing to indicate that he knew this was being submitted on his

behalf. He's been able to bankroll the club in the three seasons since

the time the letter was submitted. It was secured by the executive

chairman at the time, the letter says that he said a third party was

asked to provide it for him. He trusted it was genuine, as I'm sure

you can imagine, and there's now an EFL inquiry and internal inquiry

going on at Watford as well. Nominations for the Ballon D'Or

revealed, what is on the list and what is the prize? It's for the best

player in Europe. It's no longer aligned with Fifa. The 30-man short

list was drip fed to us yesterday compiled by A football magazine. It

includes Messi and Ronaldo, they've won the trophy. Gareth Bale is

included and eight players from the Premier League including Jamie Vardy

and Riyadh Mahrez from champions Leicester City. Jamie Vardy is the

only English player on the short list. The criteria is a little

different now it's the old Ballon D'Or, voted in a different way, it's

more man whether they are just the best player around. No-one will

claim Vardy is better than Ronaldo or Messi but a few voters might let

their heart rule their head. Some unusual tactics in the women's

tour tennis finals, what is going on? Well, the Russian tennis player,

she won a tournament in Moscow on Saturday, fast forward 48-hours,

she's in Singapore, she won the first set, lost the second, was a

breakdown this the third, when she decided to take some impromptu

adjustments with her hair! She's chopping off a chunk of her pony

tail. Half way through the third set, she goes on to win it as well,

miraculously, whether it was because of the hair we don't know but

afterwards she said, every time I would hit a shot my hair would hit

me in the eye and I was struggling so she decided to make drastic

amendments - and it worked! You have never done that, your hair is so

annoying and you chop a bit off? Earlier today it was a lot longer so

it's already been getting in my face today!

Thank you very much. It looks like Heathrow Airport

will get a third runway. The government is due to make

the announcement later today though a final decision won't be made

until the end of next year, Our reporter Divya Talwar spent

a day with a family living under If it does get the go-ahead,

what do you think you I think noise pollution

is really going to affect us, even though we are sort of used

to the noise. But with the increased

activity I just wonder how So, going forward, I think it

will definitely make us think about whether we want to stay

here or not. That would be a really big decision

because you have lived A massive decision for us to make,

but being a dad I am obviously concerned for my son's upbringing,

living in this area We will definitely think

about going to an area Wouldn't you miss the sound

of all these planes if you didn't No, definitely not, I think I've

seen enough planes already. Heathrow is the busiest

airport in the UK. It serves more than 73 million

passengers a year. Nearly 1,300 planes fly in and out

of the airport each day and of course that number

would increase significantly with the introduction

of a third runway which will It would also mean demolishing

around 700 homes in nearby villages. Theresa Villiers is the Conservative

MP for Chipping Barnet. She is a former Transport

Minister, but is opposed She told me why she'll fight

the government if they opt I'm posed to a third runway at

Heathrow because it will have a huge negative environmental impact on

millions of people but also because it is undeliverable because of the

legal problems with meeting air quality limits and there is also a

much better alternative and that's building a second runway at Gatwick.

It is deliverable and apparently, will be partially open by 2027? I

think that will never happen. The reason why people have been

discussing a third runway at Heathrow for nearly half a century

and never built one is because it is a very bad idea. I mean this,

putting another quarter of a million flights into Heathrow would

massively increase the noise problem at Heathrow which is already severe.

The project involves would you believe tunnelling the M25. That's

potentially years of transport misery on one of our most important

motorways. There are so many reasons why Heathrow is a bad idea, why

should we attempt to build this runway when we can have one in half

the time, for half the cost and a fraction of the environmental impact

by building at Gatwick instead. We're told by people who have looked

into it, in-depth for years that Heathrow expansion is the way

forward. If we don't expand at Heathrow it will cost the wider

economy between ?30 billion and ?45 billion, it will depend on various

conditions being met, a ban on night flights, more passengers having to

use public transport and so on, why is that not enough for you? Gatwick

would deliver broadly equivalent benefits to the economy. The

benefits of Heathrow expansion have been significantly exaggerated. The

Davis scmarngs who looked into this, even their sort of independent

expert said that some of their estimates for economic benefits for

Heathrow were exaggerated. Gatwick passed 42 million pass jerks it

opened 20 long haul routes in the last 12 months and it is a great

option and it is deliverable. If the Government go for Heathrow this

morning I fear we will have another lost decade in terms of airport

expansion. We will end up with no extra runway like Gordon Brown and

Geoff Hoon did six years ago. Have you ever had a conversation with

Theresa May about Heathrow expansion? She was kind enough to

see me a few days ago and I'm grateful she listened to what I had

to say. She was against expansion of Heathrow? Yes, well, the

Conservative Party's position for many years was against Heathrow

expansion. If the Government give it the green light today there is

another 12 months or so of consultation. I would encourage as

many people as possible to take part because there is still time to

persuade the Government that the Heathrow expansion is the wrong path

and we should go for Gatwick instead. What was her explanation

why why she changed her mind about Heathrow? Well, I'm not able to talk

about conversations I've had the Prime Minister. I put my point of

view and I was pleased to be able to have the opportunity to talk

directly with the Prime Minister about it. No doubt, you notion I'm

sure she has an open mind going into the crucial meeting taking place

today and we will just have to wait to see what the outcome is. Did she

explain why she changed her mind. She is in a tricky position because

of where her constituency is? I was pleased to be able to talk to the

Prime Minister about this and set out my concerns, but I'm not able to

disclose the content of the conversation that we had. It was a

private meeting and the Prime Minister obviously over the course

of the day through the Transport Secretary will be setting out the

decision that's been made. Thank you very much for your time

this morning. Thank you. Rob Gray is the campaign

director at Back Heathrow, a community organisation that wants

to see expansion at Heathrow. It was launched with funding

from Heathrow Airport. Jennie Langrish lives in Richmond,

directly under the approach path Tell us why? Well, I most certainly

am. Life is already made pretty unbearable by the airport. We're

woken up at about 4.30am every morning by the first plane coming

in. The noise throughout the day because, even when it is not over

us, we can hear noise from the other runway. We're already raking the

legal levels of pollution and that's only going to get worse. It is a

disaster if it goes ahead for West London residents and you can expect

a lot of anger and a lot of campaigning to get it stopped. Rob

Gray, you back this expansion. Do you have sympathy with Jennie. Talk

to her about the things she described? Described. Well, we do

back expansion. We represent tens of thousands of local residents around

the airport who support expansion. Most people support expansion in the

boroughs around the airport, but I do understand from Jennie's point of

view, there are noise issues and issues that need to be addressed and

the independent Airports Commission looked at this and they believe as

we hope do the Government that Heathrow can expand, you know,

within noise and pollution limits. There are some significant

advantages to Heathrow expanding. It is the UK's only hub airport. It is

full up. Every other airport has space and crucially, there is huge

momentum behind Heathrow because it has the majority of MPs that support

it, large unions and many local residents, businesses up and down

the UK, it has to be the choice today. What do you say directly to

those residents whose lives will be further blighted by further

expansion? Well, the residents in the villages next to Heathrow, I

have a great deal of sympathy because, you know, most of them

there just want the certainty. Whichever side of the fence you're

on in this debate whether you're for expansion or against it, most people

want governments to stop chopping and changing around and to get on

with it or not get on with T we want Heathrow to be expanded. We think

the Government should make that decision today. There is huge

momentum behind it because there are significant support politically,

locally and nationally. Jennie I wonder if I can read some

messages. This one says, "Heathrow expansion is good for Britain. The

lady who is complaining, when she moved to that area, did she not

realise there was an airport less than 15 miles away." Until you wake

up on the first morning in your new house at 4.30am, you have no idea

what it is going to be like. People who say oh you must have known, you

know, when it is completely silent at 4.30am and then a plane goes

screeching overhead, nothing can prepare you for that. Also we moved

here years and years ago. We moved here before there was a fourth

terminal let alone a fifth terminal and at that stage, Heathrow were

promising I have a letter from them in writing 1999 saying there will

never be a third runway. Promising residents if we allow Terminal 5 to

go ahead, they promised us there wouldn't be a third runway. You

know, I mean, people have a right to say that, you know, even if they did

know, that there was an airport, they didn't expect it to be anything

like the size it is now. We have been lied to con tusy for years and

years and years. Rob Gray, I wonder if you think if the decision is

confirmed today by Theresa May that it will actually be built? Well, we

think, I think, yes. I think it is going to be difficult. You've got

long-term infrastructure meeting short-term politics, but it looks as

though we've got a Government that's prepared to bite the bullet on this.

It is always going to be difficult wherever you expand, but I think

Heathrow itself has worked harder to address community concerns. It is

never going to please everybody. But in the public consultation last year

which was carried out by the Airports Commission, there were over

70,000 responses. 82% of those were pro-Heathrow and most of those, tens

of thousands were from local residents. Yes, there are opposition

and support in the local communities, but most people in the

boroughs around the airport and more local MPs, Slough are coming round

to back Heathrow expansion and they are joined by the majority of MPs

across the country and as I say, businesses and unions up and down

the country want to see this happen now. I think whatever side of the

fence you're on, I think here is a Government that hopefully will say

yes and will deliver for Britain. Jennie, what do you say to Rob? I

would say that it is, it hasn't been a fair fight. I mean Heathrow spent

I think over ?30 million trying to promote the benefits. Residents have

a small organisation with one part-time member of staff, but that

doesn't mean that their arguments are right just because they have got

big business and big money and they can shout louder. There are plenty

of businesses who don't agree with Heathrow expansion and certainly

local businesses in the area around Heathrow are crowded out because

Heathrow pushes up the cost of labour. It pushes up the cost of

warehouses and then it creates low quality jobs for people sitting

there staring at cases going by or checking people in and it creates a

kind of mono culture of an economy around the airport. This idea that

it is great for the economy and also the idea that it is great for

business. I think something like 11% of flights from Heathrow are

business passengers and that's actually been falling. So, you know,

I think just because they've got the money and they can shout louder

doesn't actually mean that they're right. We're going to hear from Zac

Goldsmith, he is the Conservative MP and he threatened to resign and

cause a by-election and he would stand as an independent if the

Government give third runway expansion at Heathrow the go-ahead.

He has been door stepped. Let's have a listen.

REPORTER: Good morning Mr Goldsmith how is it going, would you mind

having a quick word with us about Heathrow? Could you tell us if you

will go ahead with your resignation if Heathrow goes ahead? We will wait

to see what the Prime Minister has to say. But it looks very, very

likely that Heathrow will be the choice today. I hope the Government

makes the right decision. We will wait and see. Have you had a brief

with Theresa May yourself? He is your MP, would you back him if he

resigns and causes a by-election and stands as an independent? Yes,

definitely. He has been very supportive of the campaign against

Heathrow expansion. Certainly if it does get the go-ahead that is what I

would expect him to do and I would certainly support him. Here are more

comments from people watching. Gareth says, "Why is your programme

pushing Heathrow expansion and not reporting impartially?" " This twret

from LP, "If people chose to live under Heathrow's flightpath, why are

you complaining now?" Trevor says, "Can there be any people who lived

near major airports that were there before the airport expanded?"

Increase in rate of progress to environmental calamity. It is

madness! Thank you very much Jennie and to Rob Gray who is the campaign

director at Back Heathrow which is a community organisation which

supports expansion at Heathrow. It was launched with funding from

Heathrow Airport. At least 59 cadets and guards have

been killed after militants attacked a police college in the Pakistani

city of Quetta. Three gunmen wearing suicide vests

entered the building late last night and opened fire -

all three were later killed during the operation to retake

the training facility. This attack started at 9pm local

time. Three to four armed attackers tried to enter into this training

facility. It is a police training facility. They engaged with one of

the guards on a tower which was overlooking the wall and they killed

him and than they entered into the premises and went into one of the

dormitories where the recruits were sleeping. Footage that's just come

out from local media shows that there was a gunfight in that

dormitory. It was put on fire and there is a huge big crater in there

as well. It shows that the suicide bombers, three of them, were

involved. Two of them blew themselves up and the third one, the

local authorities are claiming they shot him dead. The death toll as we

now have from the hospital sources is that 60 are dead and that over 1

had 00 are wounded -- 100 are wounded.

What do you know about the militants? Well, it is quite

confusing so far because initially the security officials told media in

Pakistan that a local sectarian splinter group is behind this

attack. But than we got another e-mail from Pakistani Taliban, a

small group, claiming that they were behind it and now we are getting

reports that the so-called Islamic State has claimed through its news

agency that it was behind this attack. So if it's true then this

could be the first official claim of Islamic State of carrying out a

violent attack in Pakistan. Thank you.

Coming up in the next half hour, it's the second day

all things dancing - ballroom, ballet and Balls!

Here's Julian in the BBC Newsroom with a summary of today's news.

The Transport Secretary Chris Grayling will announce

the Government's preferred option for airport expansion

in the southeast of England this afternoon.

It's expected that ministers will back the decision

by the Davies Commission, which recommended a third

Some MPs told the programme they were against further expansion at

Heathrow. I'm opposed to a third runway at

neath row because it would have a huge negative environmental impact

on millions of people but also because it's undeliverable because

of political opposition, the legal problems with meeting air quality

limits and there's also a much better alternative, that's building

a second runway at Gatwick. Four people have been killed

on a ride at the Dreamworld theme A spokeswoman for the park said

two men and two women in their early 30s and 40s died

while on a river rapids ride. Dreamworld bills itself

as Australia's biggest theme park with more than 50 rides

and attractions. The demolition of the Migrant jungle

camp in Calais is under way. People have been dispersed around

France where they can apply for asylum. A further 6,000 remain in

the camp currently. The Electoral Commission has fined

the Labour Party ?20,000 for breaking campaign spending rules

during the 2015 General Election. It says the party's spending return

was missing payments totalling The report says the party's

treasurer Iain McNichol committed two offences in delivering

this incomplete return. The 8ft "Ed Stone", carved

with ex-leader Ed Miliband's key pledges, was among the payments

missing from Labour's That's a summary of the latest BBC

News - more at 10.00 E-mail from Chris, hearing about

potential expansion, a runway at Heathrow would be a waste of money

and is not in the national interest, money better spent on improvement in

rail in places like Devon and Cornwall. I don't understand why the

Government doesn't consider another airport in Kent as a new airport to

serve London and the south-east, that from a pilot. It's under threat

of becoming a housing estate, the runway could be up and running

Jungle camp in Calais continues this morning -

no bulldozers yet though. Our reporter Simon

Jones is at Calais. How are things going? Chaotic scenes

earlier when a huge number of people turned up and there was jostling for

position in queues. A pretech told me they may start the process of

dismantling structures. One of the people who've been living in the

jungle from Pakistan is with me. How long have you been here? Six months.

What has life been like in the jungle? The young sell no good. Too

much of a difficult place. So we are now going to camp. What are you

doing now, what is happening today? I don't know. I don't know where we

go, I don't know. You are going to stay in France? No, I don't want to

stay to France because I want work and we don't have money, we don't

have a home, so where we go? Would you lake to go to the UK? Yes, I

would like to go UK? Why? Because they're working there, we want work,

so what do we do here, we don't have money, we don't have a home so what

we do here? What is the situation like? There seems to be a lot of

problems with people getting on buses? What do we do now, I don't

know. Is it often trouble in the jungle, do you feel safe? I don't

know what I do now, I don't know what I do. OK, thank you very much

for joining us. A bit of confusion about what people

are going to do. I'll take you to this direction to have a chat with a

charity worker we spoke to yesterday to see what his take is. We are just

going over the railway lines which shows you how makeshift this whole

structure is. Can I just butt in for one moment. We spoke to you

yesterday on the programme. 24 hours on, how do you think it's going? I'm

surprised this morning because I was waiting for the same system as

yesterday which hasn't at the has 1,000 to 2,000 others waiting to go

to the accommodation centre. Not so many people turning up? No, but a

lot of minors, they don't go to UK today, they don't understand exactly

what is happening. Normally with minors, they are registered here and

they go back to accommodations in Calais to I don't know what. It

seemed quite chaotic this morn something For the minors it's

chaotic, but for the others, the others don't come, I don't

understand why there is people waiting, there is about 2,000 people

yesterday, seems to be 500, maybe 1,000 people for two hours, no more.

And after that, where are the others, I don't see. Thank you very

much for joining us. Confusion about who is going today

and you can see there is still a lot of people around and a big police

presence making sure things are going off smoothly. A lot of people

wondering what their future holds. Migrants have been resigned to

getting on buses and going to other parts of France. Another group of

people are waiting here to see whether they might be able to get on

buses. I've just heard the latest figure so far is more than 2,000

people have got on 52 coaches during the course of yesterday and, as of 9

o'clock this morning. They are hoping to get more under way. There

seems to be a lack of people. Whether that is a sign of people

wanting to come down who've come down and others remaining to see

what happens when they start bringing in some machinery to clear

it. Initially it will be a softly-softly approach. We thought

there might be images of bulldozers coming in tearing down camps as we

have seen in previous clearances but the authorities are keen to get as

many people down here voluntarily before they do anything forcefully.

We are expecting clearing teams to do it gently before they go in

perhaps towards the end of the week and clear more structures. Save the

Children are saying today that they think the demolition should be put

on hold until all the children are accounted for. It's thought

potentially there is still around 800 children unaccompanied in the

jungle, supposed to be moving to shipping containers on the side of

the jungle where they will be secure. Overall there is a fear that

that is not happening quickly enough and that a lot of the children are

still going to be many the catch when the clearing takes place,

whatever sort of form it takes. Thank you very much for the moment.

We can speak now to Rowan Farrell, a volunteer out in Calais,

with French migrants, and Philip Cordery,

a French Socialist MP who represents French ex-pats

living in The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.

A lack of people Simon was saying there. Most people staying in the

camp despite the fact it's going to start the clearance today?

I've seen a few hundred people taking bags towards the processing

warehouse, but to me, the main problem here is the lack of

information to people, the process of actually officially informing

people in the camp with flyers in all the different languages of the

camp only started yesterday. We have known about the evictions coming for

just over a month, the associations at least and the press, but that's

the first time that officials have come in to tell people there is

definitely an eviction and this provision has been put in place.

OK, so if they only knew that and had confirmation of that yesterday,

I suppose it is feasible that the information hasn't filtered through

the thousands who're still there, is that fair?

Of course. I mean, my charity's tone a lot of work to inform people.

Weekend see that none of the officials were doing it so we've

created multi lingual handouts talking about the French asylum

system. We get questions like somebody asked last week, do the

buses take them to other jungle camps, they ask about the

accommodation centres, are they allowed out in the day or forced to

go out in the morning and can't return in the evening, they just

don't know where the buses take them. I spoke to one person

yesterday and he thought the buses were taking them to different

countries around Europe and the children thought they were getting

on a bus directly to the UK. Let me bring in the French Socialist

MP now. Do you think you have got enough information out to the people

still living in the camp? Well, I mean, obviously not enough,

but if there is some confusion today. It's a big operation and it

will take the time that it takes and the intention of the Government is

to have a smoother operation. The most important thing is that it's

being dismantled and that's what the Government wanted, that's what

people wanted and the people who were in the camp will have a more

decent lodging in the coming days thanks to a great mobilisation of

all the local authorities in France which are going to welcome these

migrants. I think it's a real humanitarian act that is being

started today. When the cleaning teams go in today

which is our understanding of what is going to happen, they will meet

people who're still in tents, so will it be up to them to say you

need to get to the processing centre? No, I think of course the

relodging will continue all day today. There is the problem of the

minors and the UK has accepted to take the minors with families but

not all minors have families and that's taking a lot of time. It

would be good to have maybe a bit more cooperation from that side so

that those who really are expecting to rejoin their family can go to the

UK as soon as possible. It's really a common responsibility of all, it's

not just a French problem that we have in Calais, I think France is

showing now that they really want to act and make sure that all the

migrants have a decent life. It's important that everyone joins in

that effort. What is the extra cooperation that you say is lacking

from the British side that you would like to see? Taking all the minors

with families, but maybe also a few other minors, I mean at least that

and maybe accelerating the movement of the minors to the UK.

OK, thank you very much both of you. Calls for the phrase "Essex

girl" to be wiped out from the dictionary because it's

offensive and derogatory. We'll speak to the two women from

Essex who are behind the campaign. Lynette on Facebook says,

"I am a Essex girl , I was born in Barking,

Essex and now living I haven't lost my

east London accent!" She's one of this country's

greatest ever ballerinas, but you may know her better

for being one of the four You are now a fully fledged judge

of Strictly Come Dancing. Our favourite thing, Darcy,

was you watching him. To be able to get a retraction

on each of those kicks. What you did over there,

and none of them failed with the energy and attack

you gave them. I know you can do it

and you tried again, And Darcey Bussell is here

because you have a book out which is a collection of beautiful

photos of you in your I was subconsciously thinking

otherwise! You're very welcome to our programme. You are here in part

because you have a book out. A beautiful photo book which reminds

people that you actually were a rather good dancer... That's very

kind. Some Strictly audience, the younger ones may not realise that? I

do get that a lot actually. A lot of people, you know, suddenly go, "I

just found out that you were a ballet dancer." I was hoping that

somebody would have known. It is difficult when you had a career, I

had a long career as a classical dancer. It is never televised, it is

in a live stage theatre environment. This is a very different world. Yes.

And very, very different compared to the kind of training that you used

to have to put in which was six days a week, was it not from a very young

age? I started working with the company professionally when I was 17

just being a stand-this, an apprentice and getting thrown into

roles and then later, I got a job when I was 18 and went into the

touring company and in it is full-on. You don't have time to

think about anything else except that career and it takes up all of

your time. When you were 13 and at ballet school, what did a teacher

say to you? LAUGHTER

No. She did, I, think in the direction of either get your act

together or leave. I was feeling really sorry for myself. I had come

late into the Royal Ballet School and was far behind everybody else

and didn't believe that I could actually catch up. She said if you

don't believe, you might as well leave because if you don't have the

guts and the determination to stick your heals in and stick with it then

decide now. It was strange at 13 to be told that, but actually it was

sort of a slap in the right direction because it made me focus

and realise that I didn't want to give up, I wanted to make the most

of the time I had there. That's interesting. Luckily you were

stubborn perhaps... I was horribly stubborn. Could have been seen as

unreasonable pressure on a girl young? I have to admit I was crying

every day. I would come out of class and go, "I'm rubbish. I'm hopeless,

I can't do what all the others were doing." And I didn't believe inside

and she said, "Look, you know, you have all the ability, your body is

there, it is just going to take time. If you don't have the head for

it, and this is how you're going to act then leave." I have to say I

thought, no, no, this is not right! So it was, I think that's been

actually a help because then I've realised that I have had to do to

stay at the top as well. It is not just about the fight, but the

determination of, you know, working each day to your best and doing a

bit more than the other person, you know, and also not being typecast. I

was always, because I was always the tall, English, British ballerina

which was very unusual. We are meant to be small and I had to prove

myself that I could fit into roles that weren't seen for tall girls.

Are your girls interested in ballet? My oldest isn't. How old is she sth

She is 15. She is stopped dancing probably when she was about eight.

Which is fine. She was into lots of other activities so I didn't worry

about her not doing anything. My youngest loves to try every sort of

dance and she, I don't know, if she actually wants to go professionally

that way, but she loves musical theatre as well. I think they fell

in love with the stage and growing up with me performing and we come to

rehearsals and watch things on Saturdays when they didn't have

school. So, I'm really happy they've fallen in love with that side of it,

but I think dance is an essential part of everybody's life especially

a kid's because it is another way of expressing themselves and enjoyment,

you know... You have got a dance programme that goes into schools,

haven't you? We have a lovely programme that uses the variety of

dance genres that are out there. This is like every style you can

imagine like Bollywood to line dance, to Greek, to African, you

know, and even we do the eras as well, we have a lot of fun like a

1980s Rocky, very different styles. To have variety for kids, to just

experience something, something that might tick the box because when you

turn on the music on, it inspires kids and they move and they don't

even appreciate they're exercising. It is a really lovely way of getting

them active without them going... Is this a chore? They don't believe it

is a chore. They're going, "This is great fun. I've never done anything

like this before." For me, it is such an enjoyable thing to do. It is

hard work because I want as many schools to have this programme as

part of their PE. So we're just trying to feed it in slowly. But

really, it is really exciting. Tell us about dancing alongside Dawn

French. We have some nice pictures. Oh do you? Well, they are in the

book. I mean that was quite an extraordinary thing because

obviously I did French And Saunders, but Dawn on The Vicar Of Dibley we

did this sketch first... We did this sketch for a charity at the

Haymarket theatre and she said, "How would you feel about doing it for

Victoria Derbyshire are of Dibley?" I suppose I love her and I love

everything she does and to actually be able to laugh at myself as well

is incredit blir important. I don't know how you're not corpsing as

you're doing that because she is amazing? It was so hard. We were on

a tiny stage and it was difficult actually to achieve as much as we

did together on there. But she did say, "I want the same costume as

you. I want to be able to do as many." She was a brilliant partner.

Right Strictly, this is Len's last series as head judge... It is sad.

Who do you want to replace him? I couldn't imagine anybody that could

replace him, you know, he is unreplaceable. He is such a

character and I've grown up watching him and then suddenly sitting next

to him. He's such a force where his knowledge, you know, he has been a

judge way before this show started, a professional ballroom judge and I

love feeding off him and finding out more so why, we would call that in

the ballet world and he goes what is that? He goes, no this is what it is

called or this is this. I so enjoy the different techniques and waves,

but so similar to my profession all those finer details that we try and

perfect and it is really exciting. Could Anton do it? Of course, he do

it. There are many professionals out there that I think that are putting

their CVs forward. Are they? I know there is a list! Hi Carol! Carol is

here. But it is going to be really interesting who can replace Len. We

will miss him horribly. Could Arlene make a comeback? It is a different

world because she is not a professional ballroom Latin and we

need a professional ballroom Latin judge as part of that team. It is

looking for one of those people, but I mean Arlene, gosh, it would be

lovely. I know Arlene well and I respect her and I'm aware of

everything she choreographed and created as well. Ed Balls is the

star of this series, clearly! I don't know about that. There is

others! There are others, but he captured the public's imagination. I

wonder if you think he might have to do a John Sergeant and effectively

quit because he is taking, you could argue, one could argue taking the

place of more talented dancers? I don't know. Actually he is going on

a bit of journey as we don't like to say, but he is actually improving

and I know people probably go, "No way! " I think he enjoys the

entertainment value that he is receiving and he's enjoying

delivering as well, but he could be a serious dancer and it will be

interesting to see where he goes. I think his ambition is to get to

Blackpool! Yes. But, we will see, I don't know. I think he's going to

get better. Do you? Yeah. He has got the determination... When? When?

When is that going to happen? It has happened. I think he's, he loves the

challenge. So you know like that lift that went for bli wrong and it

is understanding how to recover from things like that. Did you see him

straightaway he wanted to prove he could achieve it. He got Katya back

up into the air and said, "Look, I can do it. I can do it." Live shows

are horrible. Things go wrong. Even as a professional things go wrong,

it is just how you cover it up! What do you make of the claims of racism

of this year's series after Melvin and Tameka were voted out? I don't

believe it exists at all on the programme. If you came on to the

show and saw for yourself, it is not there. It is not there at all. I

think it was to do with the voting public rather than the show? It is

not that. I think these things are unlucky where it falls where people

get, where they're in the vote, vote off, the result, that result show

and it is horrible to think that it could even mean that, but I just

don't see it at all. What about criticism that there are too many

trained dancers like Danny Mack had a bit of training we're told up

against people who had no formal training? I think again, that's up

to the public to rule whether who should move through and who is

favourite. If they are too good the audience will get bored. We love to

see people develop and get motivated and love learning new styles all the

time. For me, as a professional dancer and as a judge, it is a big

relief that we have some people that can actually dance, but you never

know. I have to say Ore is probably one of the best examples. He is

amazing? He is more of an athlete who would ever know he had that

musicality and that ability to retain all those steps? That's the

hardest thing we forget is picking up the moves and then not going

wrong. His focus and his determination and I think that's

sometimes better than his actual skill that we're not noticing, but

all-round, he is a one-off. Who do you think is going to win this year?

You can't tell. You can't tell. It is in, I mean, we advice the public,

but it is really up to the public here who they want. OK. To stay.

And Darcey Bussell's book, A Life in Pictures is out now.

Carol you remember obviously. It is lovely to see you Carol. Which year

do you think watts best? Oh no! I'm only in my fifth year.

That's OK! LAUGHTER

For me, I suppose, one of the most exciting years was when Lewis Smith

won. I can't remember what year that was now. It was after the 2012. Of

course. That, I think, was even my first yes so it was my first. Darcey

that's the wrong answer. Last year was the best! How silly of me! It is

lovely to see you both. The weather is lovely too. For some of us, not

everywhere, we have had fog around this morning, but you can see from

our Weather Watchers pictures we have got some crackers. This one is

rather nice. It shows some sunshine coming through. There has been a bit

of mist and fog around this morning particularly in the south and in the

Highlands, the Vale of York and Cumbria too. That's going to

continue to lift and where we've had the showers this morning, most of

them will fade across Southern England and Wales. But we could see

one or two left behind. So the northern half of the country is

where we've got thely on AES share of the sunshine and that will

continue through the course of the afternoon. A few showers off the

East Coast of England and Scotland fading through the afternoon, but

later on, the cloud will thicken across the north-west and here too,

we will see strengthening winds and rain later. Across Northern Ireland,

once again, there will be bright spells, but there will be sunshine.

Some sunshine coming through the cloud in Wales. So a bright

afternoon for many. And some sunny spells too as we push into the

south-west, but still at times there will be quite a bit of cloud around,

which means it will be bright rather than wall to wall blue skies. The

situation continues across Southern England and through the Midlands and

East Anglia and Kent. Here and there we could catch the odd shower coming

out of the thicker cloud. Through the evening and overnight, our

weather front brings in rain across Western Scotland and also Northern

Ireland. Here strengthening winds as well. There will be a lot of cloud

around tonight. There will be patchy fog particularly so across parts of

southern England and particularly in the South East. That could be dense

and take its time to clear tomorrow, but as a result, it is not going to

be as cold a night as the one just gone. Temperatures currently in

Scotland are still minus three Celsius. Tomorrow morning, they're

going to be plus seven or eight Celsius or that bit higher.

Tomorrow we have a front coming into Northern Ireland and Northern

England. Behind it, we will see showers. For the rest of the UK dry

with sunshine and temperatures creeping up. We could hit 16 or 17

Celsius in the South East, when we lose the fog, but generally down

this East Coast compared to of late, it will feel much milder because

we've lost that on shore easterly wind that's been plaguing us through

October. As we head on into Thursday, more of the same. The

weather once again stuck in a rut, but a different rut this time. So we

still have some weather fronts coming in across Scotland, Northern

Ireland, and north-west England. Not producing a lot of rain, but it will

be fairly windy. Move away from that, and we're looking at brighter

conditions particularly the further south and east that you are with

highs up to 16 Celsius. So in the next few days, temperatures will be

a couple of degrees above average compared to the last few days when

they have been a couple of degrees below average.

Heathrow airport looks set to expand with a third runway The chaotic

We'll find out in the next few hours whether it's take off for the third

runway or the green light for Gatwick. And I'm with residents

waiting anxiously for the decision. If a third runway goes ahead, nearly

80 homes could be demolished here. Heathrow airport looks set to expand

with a third runway. contest to find a new Ukip leader -

we'll hear from one of them and from two celebrity Essex girls

who are happy with that tag. Good Morning it's

Tuesday 25th October. Here's Julian in the BBC Newsroom

with a summary of today's news. The Transport Secretary Chris

Grayling will announce the government's preferred option

for airport expansion in the southeast of

England this afternoon. It's expected that ministers

will back the decision by the Davies Commission,

which recommended a third runway Theresa Villiers, the former

transport minister and Conservative MP for Chipping Barnet told this

programme she was against further I'm opposed to a third runway at

Heathrow because it would have a huge negative environmental impact

on thousands of people. It's undeliverable because of the

political opposition, the legal problems with meeting air quality

limits, and there's also a much better alternative and that's

building a second runway at Gatwick. There are some significant

advantages to Heathrow expanding. It's the UK's only hub airport, it's

full up. Every other airport has space and crucially, there's huge

momentum behind Heathrow because it's got the majority of MPs that

support it, large unions, many local residents, businesses up and down

the UK. It just has to be the choice today.

And at 3.30 on BBC News we'll be putting your questions

to Simon Calder, the travel and transport writer.

So if you have any questions about the economic or environmental

impact of the decision, for example, please get in touch

Four people have been killed on a ride at the Dreamworld theme

A spokeswoman for the park said two men and two women

in their early 30s and 40s died while on a river rapids ride.

Dreamworld bills itself as Australia's biggest theme park

with more than 50 rides and attractions.

The Prime Minister said his thoughts and prayers were with the families

of those who'd died. Officials have been speaking to the media this

morning. We are deeply shocked and saddened by this and our hearts and

our thoughts go to the families involved and to their loved ones.

One of the rides has sustained some sort of malfunction, causing two

people to be ejected from a ride and another two people were caught

inside the ride. Two males and two females. They were assessed by the

Queensland ambulance personnel and had all sustained injuries that were

incompatible with living. We are now working together with the park to

determine how this tragic incident occurred. I can confirm at this

point that four adult persons have died as a result of this.

Government troops then moved in, killing three gunmen.

Seventy five people have also been wounded.

Both the Islamic State group, and a faction calling itself

the Karachi Taliban, have claimed responsibility.

The Chief Constable of Devon and Cornwall has been placed under

supplying false financial information. The Daily Telegraph

claims it's got a forged bank letter when Mr Pozzo became the owner when

they were in the premiership in 2014. They could have points

deducted or be fined if they are found to be at fault. The newspaper

says there is no indication Pozzo knew the letter had been obtained or

submitted on his behalf. Just one English player has made the

short list for the Ballon D'Or awarded to the best player in

Europe. It's Jamie Vardy, he's joined by seven others from the

Premier League, including his team-mate Riyadh Mahrez among the 30

nominees overall, Ronaldo and Messi who've won the trophy each of the

last years are of course also on the list.

half her hair off at the beginning of the deciding set, having been

provided with scissors by the umpire, by the way. She didn't just

happen to have some ready to go. In that deciding set, she went ahead by

seven. It was bothering me a lot, I was trying to put it behind my head

band but my hair is very thick and heavy and when I was giving the

forehands, every time I would give a good shot and I was coming, it would

hit my eye every time and I would struggle. I thought OK what's more

important now, my hair which I can let grow or the match so I thought I

got to let it go now. Winners find ways to win.

In a couple of hours' time we'll know which airport the Government

wants to expand though it feels like one of the worst kept secrets,

everyone's expecting them to opt for Heathrow.

Heathrow is the busiest airport in the UK.

It serves more than 73 million passengers a year.

Nearly 1300 planes fly in and out of the airport each day.

That number would rise with the introduction

A new runway will cost ?17.6 billion.

It would mean demolishing around 700 homes in nearby villages.

Our reporter Frankie McCamley is at Harmondsworth,

one of the areas which will be affected and Rachel

Well, Victoria, just here speaking to locals, they are extremely tense

waiting for this decision to take place. We are on the green in the

centre of Harmondsworth. It's really dominated discussions. You can see

the signs here out as people are making it clear that they do not

want this third runway at Heathrow to go ahead. A lot of people will be

heading down here later on for that decision, meeting in the local but

pub behind us where they have been coming together and gaeshting as

their campaign against this Heathrow runway has been taking place. Now,

this village and Longed for down the road could see up to 800 homes

destroyed if the airport expansion at Heathrow where our correspondent

Rachel Horne is there for us -- Longford.

The first passenger plane took off in 1946 to Beunos Aires. Last year,

75 million passengers passed through here. That is the issue, Heathrow is

operating at full capacity, Gatwick isn't far behind it. The Government

said they needed to do something about it and since then, we have

seen a back-and-forth of consultations, court rulings, until

the airport commission was set up in 2012 to take an independent look at

what needed to be done. They considered the three options, a new

runway, extension of a runway or a new runway at Gatwick. They decided

all three were viable but a new runway at Heathrow was the option

they would support. We are awaiting to hear what the Government says is

their preferred option. It's thought a new runway at Heathrow would

increase jobs by maybe 75,000 by 2030 whereas at Gatwick, only 6,500.

It's thought a new runway at Heathrow could add up to ?146

billion to the UK economy over the next 60 years, at Gatwick that

number falls to under ?100 billion. If they are going to get more out of

Heathrow, they would have to put more in to build the new runway

here, it would cost almost ?17 billion, whereas to build at Gatwick

is more like... Homes listen affected by noise pollution.

These are the issues the Government will be considering. We should get

that decision at lunch time today but it doesn't end there. It will be

another year of consultation before a vote goes to the House of Commons.

Thank you very much. Our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg is reporting

this - so it seems done at last, source tells me Heathrow did get the

nod in committee this morning, Number Ten won't confirm or deny.

That from our Political Editor Laura ones dering. Let me introduce you to

various guests. Stephen Fry represents some

businesses in West London and backs Heathrow expansion,

and Jackie Clark-Basten owns a local hairdressing business that she says

will not survive if the government decides Heathrow should

get the go-ahead. An adviser to Boris Johnson joins us

also. It seems done, Heathrow is going to get the nod. How do you

react? It is just a nod. It is likely it

won't get built. There is a high risk of that, not just because of

the planning and the legal obstacles but because of the difficulty of

financing it. The fact that it requires a huge amount of unbudgeted

public expenditure on road and rail access in order to make it work. A

little thing like moving the M25 or are they moving the M25 and what the

costs of that are and who is going to bear them. We're going to Downing

Street where Norman is. Hi Norman. Fill us in more. We're hearing from

one of those who was at that meeting, the subcommittee of the

Cabinet that met before the full Cabinet to take the actual decision

on Heathrow and we're told they have given the green light to Heathrow

and what will be happening now is Theresa May will be informing the

full Cabinet. Boris Johnson today, avoided us. Normally he goes the

front door at Number Ten. Today, he did not. He went round the back

door! I suspect because he didn't want to answer too many questions

about whether he was going to be lying down in front of bulldozers

any time soon! The expectation is that when Chris Grayling gets up in

the Commons at 12.30, he will tell MPs that the green light has been

given to that third runway at Heathrow.

You were an add vasor to Boris Johnson. It seems he will be given

permission to crit sides, but not in a loud voice? Well, Boris is very

good at criticising in quiet voices. We will just have to see how he play

that is. That's for him. I don't think he'll have any bulldozers to

lie down in front of however, until well after the next general election

for the reasons I just gave before. I think this is the wrong choice for

a Brexit economy. Because if you want to show the world that you're

open, you should go for a solution which is much cheaper, which is

deliverable, which is less rocky and Heathrow solution is one that's been

tried over and over again and every time it makes progress, and it hits

a brick wall and I think that's what is going to happen to this proposal

as well. It can't stack up and made to work at ?18 billion. Let's bring

in Stephen Fry. You would be happy, I think, if this announcement goes

according to plan. Just talk to Daniel Moylan, who clearly thinks it

is very bad idea, why you say it is the right idea? Hello Victoria. Good

morning, Daniel. Daniel, and I have crossed swords on occasion on

Twitter over this very subject. I'm happy. If the rumour coming ot of

out of Downing Street is true. Why? ?211 billion worth of economic

benefit into the country is why. I disagree with you Daniel, you're

wrong on the message it sends post Brexit. It is actually saying to the

world that the UK is open for business. It is a very serious

statement. And West London businesses need very serious

statements which are positive, which are saying we're going somewhere,

we're doing something and that yes, we're ready to do business and West

London would be delighted, businesses would be delighted, with

this decision if what is coming out of Downing Street at the moment is

true. What about the point that Mr Moylan

makes that it is very unlikely, it is ever doing to to happen because

there will be so many legal challenges, we know about four, Tory

run councils including one covered by Theresa May's constituency who

are going to bring a legal challenge against Heathrow expansion? Indeed.

Well where I live Windsor and Eton Council using local rate payers

money. Well, I might write a letter about that! But the point is, the

Flat Either Society was going for a long time until we discovered it is

round. Lots of people said that the steam engines wouldn't work and that

would we would die if we were travelling at 40mph. Unless you try

and achieve these things they become unachievable. If we talk something

down, we will continue not to deliver. It is about time this

country actually turned round and said, "We can do it. We're going to

do this and deliver Heathrow, runway three and it is going to make money

for the UK economy." Jackie, owner of a hairdressing saloon. It would

be at the end of this third runway, Jackie, what would that mean for

your business? Well, obviously a lot of the residents which are clients

of mine, they will be moved out of the area. They will be moved out. I

don't know how much longer I will survive once the residents have been

evicted from their homes. Are you expecting to be evicted well? We

aren't in the line of demolition, but Heathrow said it will be

uninhabitable due to its close proximity to the runway, we will

probably be in a second wave of properties that will be demolished.

You have been fighting this effectively your whole life. They

have been trying to get a third runway since you were born. Do you

think you can win this fight again? I think so. I mean we were in this

position under the last Labour Government in that particular

session, we launched a legal challenge which we took the

Government to court over and we won. Gun, we have legal challenges which

in place and we will activate those rather soon and again we will win

the case and this whole recommendation will be thrown into

the long grass. We will see. Thank you very much, Jackie. Stephen,

thank you for your time. Daniel, thank you very much for your time as

well. Four people have been killed

on a ride at the Dreamworld theme Queensland police say there was an

accident involving a malfunctioning conveyor-belt on a water ride called

Thunder River Rapids. A journalist is on the line now. I

gather Josh there has been a police press conference. What more detail

have they been able to give you? Yes, the police held their second

and final press conference for the evening. They just gave the ages of

the victims. That's a woman in her 40s, a woman in her 30s, and another

woman and a man in their 30s. The initial investigation suggested that

water pushed one raft into another raft causing one of them to tip up.

When that happened, some of the adults were thrown into a wooden

conveyor-belt. Two others were trapped in the ride possibly

underwater. They say there was nothing the bystanders could have

done to save those people. A number of eyewitnesses were seen running

interest that site visibly upset and it was shortly after that the park

was closed and clouds of people came streaming out.

So it was to do with some piece of technology going wrong, was it, that

one raft went into the other one? Ambulance officials have said there

was some type of malfunction. The crash scene investigators are on

site at the moment to determine exactly what happened, but this

ride, it first opened in 1986 and has been running for decades without

incident. It is known as a family friendly ride. Families who bring

their loved ones here, everyone pretty much goes on the Thunder

River Rapid Ride. It consists of a large rubber tyre with about six or

so seats connected to the top of that tyre. You sit-in it. You're

Velcro strapped in and you're taken up a wooden conveyor-belt and

released into the rapids and you do a circuit finishing in a few

minutes. This is one of the most well-known rides here at Dreamworld

and there were never any issues of this. Something like this has really

shaken everybody in Queensland and no doubt, it will have ramifications

for the tourism industry. And have you had a statement yet

from the owners of the theme park? Yes, they released a statement this

afternoon saying they were shocked and deeply saddened by what happened

here and they said their first priority was helping the victims'

families. The CEO did come out the front and addressed the media just

before the ambulance officer and a police officer. He said that they're

doing all they can to help the families. It is not clear at this

stage how long the park will remain closed and of course, school

holidays are coming up and the summer is approaching. Usually this

is one of the major draw cards of the gold coast.

Thank you very much, Josh, thank you for your time.

A reporter with ABC News in Australia.

This morning, one of the Ukip leadership contenders tells us he's

standing down from the race to back his rival Paul Nuttall MEP.

We can speak to the West Midlands MEP Bill Etheridge.

Well, when we first had the vacancy for leader, Paul was my preferred

choice then and I was really hoping he would stand and bring the party

together and take us on to new strengths. Unfortunately, at that

time, he didn't stand and I felt I had an obligation to stand and I'm

graltful for the support I've received. This time around, Paul has

said that he's ready to go for it. He will take us forward and I can

think of no better man to unify the party. Rather than letting my own

personal ambitions to get in the way, it is time to put the party

first and I will be supporting Paul. I think he'll make a fantastic

leader. What strand of Ukipry do people like you and Paul Nuttall

represent, do you think? Well, I know what strand I represent. There

is a difference between me and Paul. I'm the libertarian side of Ukip.

I'm very much into small state, lower taxation, direct democracy and

really, quite a firebrand for that, whereas Paul, he's more of a, within

the party, he sits right in the centre of opinion. He is a unifier.

He is someone we can all believe in. He doesn't 100% agree with

everything I agree, but what I do believe in, this is a guy who has

got his heart in the right place and will take the party forward and we

can all trust. Right, because you'll know another contender Suzanne Evans

says she will make the party less toxic and she will occupy the common

sense centre ground. Too much testosterone she says! Well, I think

it is remarkable that anyone who wants to lead a party would call it

toxic in the first place. Frankly Ms Evans has got her point of view and

I would like to say to everyone else considering standing as example,

please follow my example, let's have a unity candidate. Paul is the right

man for the job and why don't we come in behind Paul and say these

silly comments, let's forget that and move forward and be united.

Right, I gather you were in the room when that heated conversation began

between Steven Woolf and Mike Hookem. What was that like? Well, I

was in the steel industry for 20 years before I moved into politics.

So believe me, it was absolutely nothing. I have seen proper heated

debates and that wasn't one. It was quite remarkable when Stephen got up

and suggested that Mike follow him outside. But look, that's done and

dusted now. Stephen is no longer in the party. We've got an inquiry

result coming out tomorrow which will really clarify everything, but

we move forward now and forget that sorry and embarrassing episode.

Let's get on with the future. Swofl thinks the future is a death spiral

for Ukip. -- Steven Woolf. Sometimes when people don't get what they

want, they can take it one of two-ways. They can be honourable and

move on with within a party or organisation and help it, or throw

their toys ot of the pram and sit on their own in the back berdges and

Stephen has chosen his path. That's up to him. I wish him well for his

life outside of Ukip, but you know, we move on as Ukip and we are going

to be united after this election. And now you've got, now you've won

the Brexit vorkts what's the point in Ukip? Well, now, the exciting

part starts. We can put forward radical policies for reform within

our country. I believe that we had a long period of time where all of the

political parties actually were saying very much the same things.

And the reason for that was because they didn't have the power to make

real change in our country. Now we have, if we can make Brexit be

followed through and keep Mrs May true to her word then we've got an

opportunity where the people can really vote on a whole range of

changes, different ways of doing things and different taxation

systems, I would like to see VAT scrapped and replaced with a local

sales tax. There is all sorts of things that we can do. But we need

now to get that Brexit decision fully threw and we can start

changing the country. It is a time to be optimist k and forward

looking. I want to play you a clip with John

Rhys Evans. This is what he told the Daily Politics yesterday.

You were strongly criticised for the way you were asked

to respond to a claim made by another Ukip candidate,

this was in the run-up to the general election,

that some homosexuals prefer sex with animals.

You did say by talking about how a gay donkey tried

Do you know, Jo, it's interesting what you are trying to do

because I am trying to tell you my serious vision for Ukip

It was playful banter with a mischievous activist.

I concede it was a mistake to be playful with an activist

The guy was just asking questions in the street.

I was very early coming into politics and I am sorry

if I offended anybody by doing that, but, please, can we move on?

What do you think of that? Well, I don't know Mr Evans. It sounds like

when you put him on-the-spot he tried to be honest. He should follow

my advice and my example and withdraw as the other candidates

should, from this race and let us get behind Paul Nuttall and let's

not give anymore hostages to fortune and saying silly things like that

that people can use against the whole party. I would like to think

it was a foolish attempt at a joke that went wrong, but it was

ill-advised and a pretty stupid thing to say. We're expecting

Heathrow to get the green light, would you back that?

Yeah. I mean, I feel for the local residents. Obviously, as all of us

must do, it will be a situation where people will lose their homes

and life is going to become difficult, but for the greater good

of the economy we do need to be open for business and we need airport

expansion. It is a really positive and optimistic thing. I would like

to see the Government talking about expansion across the country and not

just Heathrow. Let's look at really boosting and booming as a country.

We've got a bright future ahead of us and this is one way we can really

make an impact on the world scene. Great on him. Good decision, let's

crack on with it. We are seeing Calais. We used to

have Sangatte in Calais and now we have got this place. What are your

thoughts? When I went out there, I spoke to quite a few of the people

there. First of all, they were living in conditions that were

appalling, absolutely appalling. It can't be tolerated in the 21st

century in civilised society. But not just that, every one of them

that I spoke to, I said is there a problem in France, is there

something you are kneeing from, is there some reason why you want to go

to the UK and every one of them said it was for economic reasons. That

unfortunately is not acceptable. The French Government have got to, not

just clear the camps, but process the people who're there. Let's find

out who they are. Are they genuine asylum seekers? If so, we should

table our fair share and they should be given asylum. If they are simply

trying to advance themselves economically by coming to the UK for

better benefits systems or whatever it may be, I'm afraid that's not

within the current rules of our immigration system and can't be

allowed. So the French Government have to take responsibility. It's on

their soil after all. Thank you very much for your time

this morning. He has announced he won't run in the competition to be

leader of Ukip now, he's standing down in favour of his colleague Paul

with a summary of today's news. A source has told the BBC that the

Heathrow runway expansion has been given approval. Chris Grayling is

expected to outline the Government's preferred option in full later on.

The Davies Commission which looked into airport expansion recommended a

third runway at Heathrow which many London and south-east MPs are

opposed to. Four people have been killed

on a ride at the Dreamworld theme A spokeswoman for the park said

two men and two women in their early 30s and 40s died

while on a river rapids ride. Dreamworld bills itself

rides and attractions. Australia's prime minister

Malcolm Turnbull said his thoughts and prayers were with the families

of those who had died. Officials at the park have been

The Cabinet is meeting before an official announcement is made about

Heathrow. A source has told our Political Editor it's got the

go-ahead and Norman is outside Downing Street where the meeting is

taking place. Norman. Yes, it looks like it's Heathrow a

go-go. We don't know which of the Heathrow options because there are

obviously two of them, building a third runway or extending the

existing north runway but I think most of the indications are it will

be a green light for that third runway which has been the preferred

option of successive Governments, it's what the independent Davis

Commission recommended and significantly remember this, Theresa

May has licensed a bit of Cabinet dissent. She wouldn't have to do

that for Gatwick because there isn't really any Cabinet dissent over

Gatwick, there most certainly is over Heathrow, we know big players

like Boris Johnson and Justine Greening previously signalled their

opposition, Boris Johnson talked about lying down in front of the

bulldozers, so it looks definite now that when Chris Grayling gets up in

the Commons about 12. 30, he'll formally announce that the

Government is at long last going to give the go-ahead to Heathrow. Let's

go to Heathrow and our Transport Correspondent Richard Westcott.

Looks like they've won? Yes. We haven't spoken to the boss

yet. I think they have been pretty confident that they were going to

win for some time. We have all been basically thinking the Government's

going to pick this Heathrow option. You heard Norman say we think it's

the third runway. There were two Heathrow options on the table, one

was a private bid, not from the airport, which involved doubling the

length of the runway and the other is a separate third runway which

would be way over the north in the distance. It looks like the official

bid is the one they'll pick, the one that brings the most jobs and

economy and it's also the most controversial but it looks like that

is what the Government has gone for. Still a long way to go, of course.

Let's talk to the campaign coordinator for Stop Heathrow

Expansion. Hi, there. That is the resident-led

organisation that opposed Heathrow. Also a resident in Harmondsworth

whose house is in the demolition zone if Heathrow gets the green

light and Neil's family have also lives in the village for

generations. Thank you all for talking to us. Rob, your reaction

that it looks like Heathrow has won? Well, it may look like the

Government's going for expansion at Heathrow Airport but let's not

forget that we have been here before. The Governments in 2009

supported the third runway at Heathrow and that proposal was

successfully challenged in the High Court so that is the precedent

that's been set and I'm sure that will happen again. And is that what

you are banking on do you think? Yes, I am, we won last time and I'm

sure we'll win again. We can't underestimate the stress this is

causing residents for many, many years. My home is blighted, I will

lose my home, I will lose my family home and my community and I think

there needs to be more empathy and understanding from people about the

impact this is having on villages. Yes. That is a really good point.

There are some people who say well if you live there you are going to

live in the flight path and they have very little sympathy, it has to

be said? I've lived here since the mid 70s, I lived in Longed for which

was beautiful and that's sited for demolition as well. I moved to

Harmondsworth in 1987. At that time there was no talk about demolishing

Harmondsworth village and other people have moved into the villages,

many moved in after the promise of the fifth terminal of no third

runway, people accepted the word of Heathrow which has been prove tonne

be lies. Neil, we can obviously hear the

planes which you put up with a lot of the time. Is your own home

blighted, would you be forced to move, what would be your situation?

My home will be 54 paces from the new boundary fence, it will be

impossible to live there, I'll be included in the 4500 homes that will

be a terrible place to live. I wonder what happens to our Prime

Ministers when they get into power? Historically Theresa May's been

opposed to a third runway. The people in Maidenhead on new flight

paths now elected to be on a position of a third runway. We had a

Conservative promise, no ifs no buts no third runway and we made life

decisions based on that, where to send children to school, where to

lay loved ones to rest, how much to invest in a property. Heathrow

affects more people than five of the key European aeroplanes combined. It

will have a noise envelope of one million people. The people deserve a

quality of life, it's not all about money, we deserve a quality of life

and there are serious health issues with living on the flight paths. 460

schools will be on the flight paths. So you put your faith in politicians

and they let you down, you say? They have let us down. The thing is, it's

a terrible thing for democracy, terrible thing for Theresa May in

actual fact because we believed Theresa May when she stood outside

Downing Street and said she'd act, not for the mighty but for the few.

She pointed at a TV screen, I took that as being me and my community

and I was very optimistic with Theresa May, now I think she's no

better than all the other politicians before and David Cameron

was pretty much a liar and I think she has has betrayed us and the

people of Maidenhead. Thank you very much all of you for speaking to

passionately, Neil, Rob and Elish. Carole Walker is at a protest

opposite Downing Street right now. High, Carole.

Hello, Victoria. As the Cabinet are meeting in Downing Street, we are

hearing they are going to go ahead and recommend another runway at

Heathrow, opposite this we have got a group of Liberal Democrats who're

protesting at the decision and I'm joined now by Suzanne Kraymer who

speaks for the party in the Lord's and by Wes Streeting for Labour.

Suzanne, what is the point of the demo? It's to get our message over.

We have fought against this third runway at Heathrow for over 20

years, it's the wrong decision for London, it's wrong for business but

air pollution, noise, congestion, nobody has an answer as to how we

can get more people to the airport and this decision needs to be

stopped in its tracks. The Cabinet needs to know. It may be able to

steam roller a Boris Johnson, but it's certainly not going to be steam

rollering us. We are fighting this. Wes Streeting for Labour, the

leadership of your party, John McDonnell and Jeremy Corbyn, what

are your thoughts? Some of my colleagues have a strong

constituency interest and you would expect them to fight the corner. As

an East London Essex MP, there are huge benefits to Heathrow in terms

of jobs, accessibility for my constituents, but most importantly,

we have seen dither and delay on airport capacity. So many of my

colleagues from the north of England, Wales and Scotland, from

right across the country, are looking for Heathrow, because as a

hub airport, it would bring significant benefits for the UK. We

know this has been a very long awaited decision. There have been

endless reviews and so on. There are still going to be -- there's still

going to be a lot of time to go. Do you think there's going to A reverse

of the decision? We have heard from from Governments before and when

they get into the detail they find the disadvantages. It's not just the

extraordinary cost of building Heathrow because it's in the middle

of a huge residential area, they find they can't get people to the

airport, it's always falling apart over that, they can't get planning
