chilly. That's all from the BBC News at six | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
so it's goodbye from me, and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
where you are. The bid to expand, Heathrow and | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
Gatwick go head`to`head with rival plans to build a new runway. We look | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
at what it would mean if either one of the airports were allowed to | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
grow. Also tonight: A life ban from teaching for a former head who spent | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
thousands of pounds on school cash on herself and her family. Awarded a | :00:25. | :00:33. | |
CBE and celebrated a as one of the country's top Heads, Jo Shuter has | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
been told she will never be reinstated after bringing her | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
profession into disrepute. Is and "not fit for purpose", a damning | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
report into one of London's A departments. Plus, the green shoots | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
of recovery. How gardening is helping to rehabilitate injured | :00:50. | :01:04. | |
servicemen in Surrey. Good evening and a very warm welcome to you. | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
London's two biggest airports have made their final bids to be allowed | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
to build new runways to meet the soaring demand for air travel to and | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
from the capital. Heathrow has increased its compensation package | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
for those who will lose their home and say its proposal would create | :01:20. | :01:29. | |
100,000 new jobs. Gatwick says its plan would keep fares low and create | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
120,000 jobs. Their proposals have been submitted to the Airports | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
Commission, which will recommend how best to expand UK air capacity after | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
the next general election. Heathrow and Gatwick Airports, now locked`in | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
a battle over who should get a new runway, with both claiming they will | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
provide over 100,000 jobs, and big economic benefits. In its final | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
submission to the Government's commission, a revised plan for a | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
third runway at Heathrow. Part of the offer, more compensation to | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
homeowners. It delivers ?100 billion of growth. It connects all of the UK | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
to all of global growth. It has more support from the local community | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
than opposition from the local community. It addresses a lot of the | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
concerns people have voiced around emissions and around noise. It's a | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
very good deliverable plan. It's a plan we can all back. Another option | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
that has been shortlisted is to extend and split a runway at | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
Heathrow. Many though dispute whether expansion is needed at all. | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
They say an extra runway, where ever it is, would mean more noise and | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
pollution. Initially, the plan was to put the runway right through | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
here, this village, this the proposal it to put it further to the | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
south. It means this 12th century church will be saved. Hundreds of | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
homes, to the south, will still be demolished. Also the M25 will have | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
to be put in a tunnel. Some believe it's the uncertainty that is the | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
most damaging. The area would cease to be the community we know it | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
today. The houses are blighted. You know, they are uncertain as to | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
whether it would happen or not. They should tell my people and set them | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
free and let them know whether it would happen or not. Says a | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
recognised runway here would disrupt fewer people and delivered earlier | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
than Heathrow's at no additional cost to the taxpayer. A two runway | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
Gatwick will make sure the UK has the airport capacity it needs to | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
deliver economic growth in the future. And make sure we have a | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
truly competitive airport market, which will serve passengers, in | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
terms of passenger choice and lower air fares. Is an estuary airport | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
could be an option. Whilst most expect it to be dropped, the Mayor | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
who backs it is still confident. Like I always say, having exhausted | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
all the alternatives this country will eventually do the right thing | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
for long`term prosperity and have an airport where we need it. The | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
arguments aren't new, any recommendations from the Commission | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
won't be until after the next election. The even then, there is no | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
guarantee politicians will act on it. Many in the industry fear this | :04:23. | :04:31. | |
is all an expensive delaying tactic. Plenty more to come tonight, | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
including: Why some flood victims in Surrey are accusing Thames Water of | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
failing to protect their properties. A top former head teacher has been | :04:39. | :04:50. | |
banned from teaching for life after spending thousands of pounds of | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
public money on personal expenses. Jo Shuter was found guilty of | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
unacceptable professional conduct while working at Quintin Kynaston | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
School in North London. Katharine Carpenter joins us from outside the | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
school now with more details. Jo Shuter admitted that whilst she was | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
the head here she used school funds for personal gain. Here are a few | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
examples. The professional conduct panel heard she had been paid | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
?28,000 for public speaking in school time. That she had pent | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
around ?7,000 on her own 50th birthday party. That she had | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
furniture for the school, worth around ?1500 send sent to her home | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
address. There were queries raised around ?40,000 in the school's | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
budget. This is made the more remarkable Jo Shuter was awarded a | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
CBE and fated by politicians as one of the top heads in the country. | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
What did the disciplinary panel have to say? I have the outcome here. | :05:53. | :06:01. | |
It's damning, I have to say. It found that although Jo Shuter has | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
been a force for good, it said in many respects, that she had done | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
behaviour which amounted to unacceptable professional misconduct | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
that may bring the profession of teaching into disrepute. It | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
commented that she had shown a lack of insight into the severity and | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
impact of her behaviours. Now, as a result of all of this, she has been | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
given a prohibition order which bans her from teaching. She has been told | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
she won't be able to ask to be reinstated at any point in the | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
future. She can still appeal through the High Court. Now, Jo Shuter | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
resigned from this school around a year ago, since then she has been | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
made acting head of another school in Ilford. We have just discovered | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
that tonight that school, King Sold man High School sent a letter to | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
parents in which it said it had no alternative but to suspend her from | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
post and that it was now looking for anotherle acting head. OK. Thank | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
you. A cyclist has died after being involved in a collision with a lorry | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
in Elephant Castle. The accident happened this afternoon and has led | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
to road closures in the area. The man hasn't been identified yet. No | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
arrests have been made. The former leader of Essex County Council has | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
been suspended from the House of Lords for the rest of the current | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
parliament over his claims for allowances. Lord Hanningfield has | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
been ordered to pay back more than ?3,000 he wrongly claimed. A | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
hospital in south`east London has been criticised today for failing | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
its patients. There were concerns over the A department at the Queen | :07:45. | :07:52. | |
Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich. Not fit for purpose, failing, | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
inadequate. Queen Elizabeth A is not up the job according to the | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
report today. We saw challenges with ambulance handovers. We saw some | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
issues about hand hygiene. Issues about cramped and difficult | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
conditions. Real challenges around the number of patients going | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
through. We saw challenges around flow of patients, both through A | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
and into the rest of the organisation. A long list. The | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
concerns are shared by many patients. I was there 8.00pm in the | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
evening I didn't get home until 2.00am. That is how long I had to | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
wait. You think ` come on. They tend to people quickly. So far so good. | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
Training has gone down. The attituded that I saw here and what I | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
used to know is not the same. This hospital has been dogged for months | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
by crippling debt and organisational change. It started in January last | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
year when the Health Secretary propose downgrading the A The | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
decision was deemed unlawful by the High Court. In OK Queen Elizabeth | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
and Lewisham Hospitals merged. The same month Jeremy Hunt lost his | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
appeal to the High Court. Finally in March this year, thanks to clause | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
119, parliament voted him power in future to close hospitals if others | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
nearby are failing financially. In the face of some opposition the | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
Government said the powers would be used only as a last resort. For | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
those in Lewisham, those changes are worrying. Now this law has gone | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
through, the way it has gone through, Lewisham is part of the | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust they could come back at us at some | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
point in the future. They would be foolish to do so, but they could do. | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
No hospital in England or London is safe from this clause now. As for | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and today's CQC report, the new Trust | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
was unavailable for comment. They released a statement saying an | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
action plan is in place and progress is being made. Next, residents in | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
Staines whose homes were flooded this winter claim it could have been | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
avoided if Thames Water had maintained a sluice gate. The | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
company disagrees. It says that the flooding had nothing to do with | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
maintenance and say they did everything they could to protect | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
homes. You walk on the carpet and they are spongy under your feet. | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
Michael is 83 and has lived here for most of his life am he had never | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
been flooded until February. He didn't have insurance. He is trying | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
to do the repairs himself. Total cost will end up, I would say, | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
?15,000. Yeah. The which is out of the question for me. I haven't got | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
?18,000. The floods have been blamed on an xraerd amount of rainfall. | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
People here say they were flooded because this gate didn't work. This | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
carries water towards Staines. As you can see, it's controlled by a | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
number of sluice gates. One of these failed and the water carried on | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
flowing down to Staines. On 9th February the Environment Agency | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
asked Thames Water to close this gate. It didn't happen until three | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
days later when homes were already under water. This is a log from the | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
Environment Agency of what happened during the flooding. It clearly | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
says, sluice eight, not functional. It also says they had contacted | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
Thames Water about what to do when a sluice is broken. Thames Water have | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
told us it wasn't broken at all. That it wasn't closed immediately | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
because closing it could risk flooding other areas. If they needed | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
to take the time to consider what to do. The impact of the floods, even | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
though it was a natural event, was actually exasperated by a degree of | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
under investment. The local MP has raised the issue in the Commons. I | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
don't want to happen what happened in 2003, lots of floods, then | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
everyone forgets about it. Then 11 years later we are in the same | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
place, without really having learnt proper lessons. Thames Water | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
cancelled an interview with us. In a statement said: | :12:02. | :12:17. | |
the Environment Agency has supported this opinion saying information | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
logged on the ground can turn out to be wrong. Those affected by flooding | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
say they are still waiting for answers. Stay with us. Still to come | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
tonight: The injured soldiers and how a gardening scheme in Surrey is | :12:36. | :12:48. | |
helping with their recovery. Next week's election will see not just | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
thousands of councillors and euro MPs being voted in, but a clutch of | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
directly elected Mayor's as well. One of those is in Watford where the | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
Liberal Democrats are hoping to reverse the trend of what many polls | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
suggest is falling Popp lart. The town has had a Lib Dem Mayor for the | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
past 12 years and now Dorothy Thornhill is bidding for a fourth | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
term. It can be tough trying to convince people you should be the | :13:14. | :13:20. | |
new Mayor of Watford. No thank you. I'm standing for UKIP. We have been | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
to a pro`Dorothy, it's on tape. This is the only town outside London | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
where people can vote for a Mayor this year. What do they want a Mayor | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
to do for them? Hold the town together and unite whatever | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
communities there are in the town. Listen to the people and make sure | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
that what the people want, he or she does it. I have no idea. This | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
doesn't ` just doesn't bother me. The parliamentary seat here in | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
Watford swings between Labour and the Conservatives. The last three | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
elections have been won by the Liberal Democrats. With opinion | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
polls suggesting a big drop in support for the party since the last | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
election, the question now is, can the Lib Dems win the vote for Mayor | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
here again for the fourth time? This is one woman who firmly believes she | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
can buck the national trend, the current Lib Dem Mayor, checking the | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
progress of town centre building works. One thing about being Mayor, | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
you are very visible and very accountable. People know what you | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
have been doing. They will either like it or hate it. There is no | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
doubt who is actually doing it. I have to believe that my track record | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
speaks for itself. The Lib Dems main pledges for Watford are: I will vote | :14:36. | :14:43. | |
Conservative. Thank you very much. I have not had that said today at all. | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
Four years ago, the Conservatives say 12 years is too long for the | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
same person to be Mayor. There is no real democracy in the Town Hall. | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
People now know this. The Town Hall is looking tired. There is no such | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
thing as a successful politician when you stay too long. I think | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
Dorothy's time is up. You need a fresh pair of eyes. Conservative | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
priorities are improving local shops, cutting town hall costs and | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
better facilities for motorists. We used to elect three items free of | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
charge. Since the Lib Dems taken over they have started charging for | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
collecting items. Labour's top pledges are: | :15:23. | :15:31. | |
Proper funding for the hospital. There is an issue about the | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
hospital, whether it will get built or not. No proper funding. There is | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
no proper planning for the hospital. As you can see, this area is the | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
most densely populated in the county. I'm from UKIP I'm standing | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
for Mayor of Watford. Yes. You have my vote. It's UKIP's first vote in | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
the Mayoral race here. Its candidate say he's riding high on the party's | :15:58. | :16:06. | |
popularity. I'm hoping that they will think, I might as well vote | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
UKIP for the Mayor as as well. Pledges are: | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
For many, the Mayoral election here next Thursday will be a testing | :16:16. | :16:22. | |
ground. Can the Lib Dems buck the national trend and how strong are | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
their opponents? The results will be announced on Friday 23rd. In the | :16:27. | :16:34. | |
European elections in London, the British National Party is fielding a | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
full list of candidates, their leader, nick Griffin, says they are | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
campaigning on Europe and immigration. I think there is really | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
two issues people are voting about in this election. The first is | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
getting out of Europe. We are saying if people go for a referendum it | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
will be rigged like it was in 1975. We are just saying Britain should | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
withdraw straightaway, no arguments, no referendum. Just get Britain out. | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
Secondly, we are the only party which when we say stop immigration, | :17:00. | :17:01. | |
we actually mean it. Football, and Tottenham have started | :17:02. | :17:16. | |
the search for their third manager in two years after confirming the | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
sacking of Tim Sherwood this afternoon. | :17:20. | :17:20. | |
Our sports reporter Chris Slegg joins me. I suppose it was always a | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
question of when rather than if? Yes, ever since Tim Sherwood was | :17:26. | :17:34. | |
handed the contract he had the air of a temporary caretaker. He even | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
said he felt like a supply teacher. He has always been honest, he | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
labelled his players much of a muchness, had a pop at the owners, | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
and today he was sacked. Is there any word on who the new man or woman | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
might be? Not from the club, they have said they started their search | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
but the favourites with most of the bookmakers is the Southampton head | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
coach, taking an unfashionable club to eighth in the league. Also the | :18:10. | :18:27. | |
head coach from Ajax. Also Rafa Benitez, and David Moyes who did a | :18:28. | :18:35. | |
good job at Everton. Today we asked the former Tottenham defender who he | :18:36. | :18:43. | |
would like to see given the job. I liked what Frank diverse said, | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
here's coveted throughout Europe. He is a young manager who has proven | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
himself in the Dutch league and done very well, but more than that I | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
think he is a young manager who has proven himself in the Dutch league | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
and done very well, but more than that I think here's someone who has | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
what it takes building the club top to bottom. Gary Lineker stood up for | :19:05. | :19:12. | |
Tim Sherwood and Twitter, saying he was refreshingly different. He said | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
it always seems to be the person who runs the team and not the people who | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
run the club who are to blame. Thanks very much. | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
An innovative gardening therapy unit has been opened at Headley Court | :19:25. | :19:26. | |
military rehabilitation centre in Epsom. It's designed to help injured | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
servicemen recover their strength, mobility and co`ordination. And some | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
of their plants are going to be on display at the Chelsea Flower Show. | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
Our Defence Correspondent Caroline Wyatt has the story. | :19:37. | :19:44. | |
The rows planted to mark a new beginning at the opening of a garden | :19:45. | :19:54. | |
centre with a difference. These soldiers are both at the | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
rehabilitation centre learning horticulture as part of their | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
therapy. Hayden was injured in a car accident. It is a nice change from | :20:02. | :20:10. | |
the clinical physio we do. It is nice and relaxing, not only mentally | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
relaxing but it gets you up and about without realising it, which is | :20:16. | :20:22. | |
good physio. Horticultural therapist Carol is also working with John | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
Dawson who was shot in the head whilst serving in Helmand. The | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
25`year`old has been a patient here since September 2012. I love doing | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
it because you come down here, it is peaceful. You do what she asks, then | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
you go back to the ward and just relax. It is very therapeutic, | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
peaceful. There is no stress, no one having a go at you. In recent years, | :20:48. | :20:55. | |
Headley Court has treated 500 of the most seriously injured personnel | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
from the war in Afghanistan, at least 200 of them amputees, and | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
before that the wounded from the war in Iraq. For most the process of | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
rehabilitation is a long one that can go on for years, which means | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
horticultural therapy is a chance to learn something new in new | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
surroundings. Carroll and the soldiers have been growing the | :21:18. | :21:31. | |
plants for a charity . There is a reason behind it, it is not just | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
sitting on the gym equipment. They have to focus, you have to focus on | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
what you are doing. For Headley Court the number of war wounded from | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
Afghanistan is going down, although some soldiers are still being | :21:46. | :21:52. | |
treated here years on. This can sow the seeds of recovery and the start | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
of a return to normal life for them. It's that time of the evening for a | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
check on the weather with Wendy. After today's thunder, visit the | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
storm before the calm? I got it the right way round? That is exactly | :22:10. | :22:16. | |
what it is, and some of the showers today were really heavy, and the | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
thunder was bone shaking in places. This radar picture is strewn with | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
pretty colours, you can see the extent of the showers we have had | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
today and there are still more to feed into our part of the world as | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
we go into this evening. After that, at the same time tomorrow high | :22:37. | :22:38. | |
pressure will have firmly established itself over the UK so | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
for the rest of the week we will have fine weather and temperatures | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
will be picking up. It will become warmer day by day. At the moment we | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
have the threat of those showers. Some of them are heavy, some maybe | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
thundery as we go through the rest of the evening and they may be quite | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
slow moving. After midnight there is less likelihood of us seeing them | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
and there will be clear skies as pressure builds. There could be the | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
odd shower and fog patch in the early stages of the morning. Even | :23:14. | :23:21. | |
here in London right in the centre and out into the suburbs, | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
temperatures could be as low as four or five Celsius. Brown spots across | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
the countryside may be even colder than that, and a touch of frost is | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
not out of the question. The first thing tomorrow, it is pretty nippy | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
and that may turn hazy as we go through the afternoon. There is a | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
very small chance of catching a shower tomorrow afternoon but you | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
would be very unlucky to get one of those. Temperatures will be climbing | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
all the time, maybe 20 degrees outside of London, feeling very | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
pleasant indeed. By the time you get to Thursday the chances of seeing a | :24:01. | :24:07. | |
shower are almost nil. It looks like it may start a breakdown on Saturday | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
but we could get away with it. Very pleasant, thank you very much. Now | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
the main headlines: The Chief Executive of AstraZeneca has warned | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
that the development of new drugs could be delayed if the company were | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
to be taken over by Pfizer. MPs are hearing evidence on the proposed | :24:25. | :24:26. | |
takeover amid worries it could damage UK interests. | :24:27. | :24:28. | |
A man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering a chef who disappeared | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
from her home in York in 2009. No trace of Claudia Lawrence has ever | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
been found. The parents and friends of the | :24:36. | :24:37. | |
abducted Nigerian schoolgirls have begun to identify them from a video | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
released by their captors. The girls were seized by Boko Haram militants | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
a month ago. Both Heathrow and Gatwick Airport | :24:49. | :24:50. | |
have submitted revised expansion plans for Government Approval. | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
Heathrow has improved its offer of compensation to homeowners, while | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
Gatwick says it plans create more than a hundred thousand jobs. | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
And a former head has been banned for life from teaching after | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
spending thousands of pounds of public money on personal expenses. | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
Jo Shuter was found guilty of unacceptable professional conduct | :25:11. | :25:12. | |
while working at Quintin Kynaston School in north London. | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
That's it for now. I'll be back later during the ten o'clock news. | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
Until then from all of us on the team, thanks for watching and have a | :25:24. | :25:25. | |
lovely evening. | :25:26. | :25:31. |
