Good evening and welcome. The chaos at Gatwick on Christmas Eve should | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
be "a wake up call for all airports across the UK". More than 11,000 | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
passengers were affected by delays and cancellations because of a power | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
failure. Today the Transport Select Committee says there was "confusion" | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
and a "lack of information" at the airport. Our transport correspondent | :00:29. | :00:37. | |
Tom Edwards has the story. Gatwick this morning and families | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
jetting off for the Easter break and so far, nothing unusual. The queues, | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
I think, and the procedures, but the airport seems OK. It's evident from | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
past errors, listen to the public. We've never had an issue. Nothing | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
disastrous has ever happened. I think they do quite well on the | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
whole. We try to deal with this calmly. We know there are people who | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
have been here over seven hours. This was Christmas Eve, when more | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
than 11,000 travellers were affected by long delays and cancellations. | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
Eventually, police had to ask airline staff to leave baggage | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
reclaim for their own safety. Not everyone got home for Christmas. We | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
have been here since ten past nine, and we found out our flight was | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
cancelled because of the work we have done. A lot of flights have | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
been cancelled. I am trying to remain positive. Hoping I will get | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
home. The problems were caused by a river bursting its banks, which | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
knocked out power in the North terminal. As it was Christmas Eve, | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
the airport tried to avoid more cancellations by moving flights to | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
the South terminal. That had never been done before. There were only | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
four buses to transfer passengers. Today's report found there was a | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
lack of information and a lack of clarity about who was in charge and | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
there was confusion over compensation. Incidentally, Gatwick | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
have said they would never try the same thing again. Transport Select | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
Committee says the incident should serve as a wake`up call to every | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
airport in the UK. Passengers simply didn't know what was happening, that | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
is because there was not a proper contingency plan. That must never | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
happen again. There should be a proper contingency plan put together | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
by the airport, the airlines and all those involved in the airport, so | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
that passengers welfare is put first. That did not happen on | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
Christmas Eve. Gatwick says it is spending ?30 million strengthening | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
its flood defences and improving its contingency plans. To make sure the | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
same thing does not happen again. Four men are beginning life | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
sentences for the murder of an innocent sales assistant who was | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
caught up in a bloodthirsty feud between two Turkish gangs in north | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
London. 21`year`old Cem Duzgan was shot eleven times as he played pool | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
with friends in 2009. Chris Rogers joins me with more details. | :03:07. | :03:17. | |
Is Cem Duzgan was playing with friends at a Turkish social club in | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
Hackney, a Turkish gang had been holding a so`called Council of War | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
meeting with members at the Pound shop on Tottenham High Road. They | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
were planning a revenge attack on a rival gang. That night, the gunman, | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
Blaize Lunkula, 28, walked into the club and shot Cem Duzgan 11 times | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
with a submachine gun at close range. He was told he would serve at | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
least 35 years. Three other men, Yusuf Arslan, Ndombasi Makusu and | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
Christian Barabutu were also sentenced for life after being | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
convicted of murder. It is a horrifying case, more horrifying | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
because Cem Duzgan was killed in a mistake of mistaken identity. He was | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
caught between two rival gangs, the Hackney Turks and the Tottenham | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
Turks. Courts across the country will go | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
digital in two years after a successful pilot of a paperless | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
system at Bromley Magistrates. Ministers say it's helped speed up | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
criminal cases and save money. Sarah Harris reports. | :04:21. | :04:29. | |
This is CCTV footage. This is just a demonstration, but Bromley | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
Magistrates Court have been leading the way, showing that by doing away | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
with bundles of paper and embracing new technology, the justice system | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
is more efficient. The policing minister came to see for himself. | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
He's been so impressed by the feedback here he's pledged ?75 | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
million a year to make sure courts across the UK are operating | :04:47. | :04:54. | |
completely digitally by 2016. The magistrates say it's transformed the | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
way they can operate. It means that fewer cases collapse on the day. It | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
means because they can interview witnesses remotely, more witnesses | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
turn up they get better results. Body cameras already in use in the | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
USA are about to be piloted by the Met here, with 500 devices being | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
used to collect evidence. It's all costing millions of pounds up front, | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
but it's expected to save money in the long run. We reckon we will be | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
able to generate around ?500,000. A quarter of that will go into | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
technology in the next couple of years, so we're funding that to | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
ensure the police are able to fight crime in a way that is fitting in | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
the 21st century rather than the 19th century. But not everyone is | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
convinced all this technology will be secure. Alistair Ewing | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
investigates computer hacking from his London bureau. It's possible | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
people could sell their services such as organised crime to hack in | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
and try and get these details. Hacking into a top government | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
computer would be very difficult. It's very important the government | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
implement the system correctly first time round, to make sure the proper | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
level of security are installed. The government insists information will | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
be secured with time and money being saved, bringing justice into the | :06:18. | :06:29. | |
digital age. It is good night from me and I will | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
leave you with the weather with Sarah Keith`Lucas. | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
It is good night from me and I will leave you with the We had fine | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
spring sunshine today. There is more on the cards for the weekend. It is | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
largely dry through both days. There will be some sunny spells on offer | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
through the day tomorrow, after a chilly start. We have quite a cold | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
night outside tonight, with light winds and clear spells. Temperatures | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
in rural spots down to near freezing. In the middle of London, | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
temperatures holding up at seven or eight degrees. After the chilly | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
start of Saturday morning, plenty of sunshine on offer through the course | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
of the morning. In the afternoon, cloud filters in and it should say | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
`` it should stay generally dry. 14`15d. A similar day on Sunday, if | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
you are planning on running the London Marathon. After a cold start, | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
highs of 15 Celsius and staying generally dry. This is the outlook. | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
Largely dry, elsewhere across the UK, Alex Deakin has the National | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
forecast for you. Good night. Good evening. This weekend should be | :07:31. | :07:40. | |
a little brighter than last weekend. Most of us will see spells of | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
sunshine. Across northern Britain as well as any sunshine there will be a | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
brisk breeze developing some rain. In the south, generally it should | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
stay dry with spells of sunshine. In the South at the moment we have | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
largely clear skies. Hence another cold night. Further north, the wind | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
is increasing and the cloud bringing persistent rain across western | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
Scotland. The breeze, rain and cloud keeping it miles. In the south | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
again, five - six, in towns and cities. In rural areas, not far off | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
freezing. A chilly start to the weekend. Generally sunny across the | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
south. It will cloud over through the day but we should hang on to | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
sunny spells across East Anglia and the south-east. The sun has got some | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
power in it, it will start to lift the temperatures. By 9am the cloud | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
is thickening across North Wales and north-west England. Rain will spread | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
its way south across Scotland and Northern Ireland. There could | :08:37. | :08:37. |
