investigating the practicalities, join me on BBC Two right now and | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
11pm in Scotland. So after years of speculation | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
and delays, tomorrow, we'll finally hear from the Government on one | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
of the biggest decisions Will it be Heathrow or Gatwhck that | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
gets another runway? A difficult decision | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
for a Prime Minister who, seven years ago, promised hdr | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
Maidenhead constituents Here's our political | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
correspondent, Karl Mercer. First day of the New Year, this | :00:35. | :00:47. | |
flight starts off from Heathrow which will be the future civil | :00:48. | :00:57. | |
airport of London. And it takes off from the fhnest | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
runway in the world. 70 years ago, there didn't seem | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
to be quite so much fuss about Heathrow or its runwaxs, | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
as a converted Lancaster bolber took And Britain begins | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
the fight for her old place It's unlikely Theresa May | :01:11. | :01:18. | |
will have such an easy ride, with not one, not two, | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
not three, but four local Conservative councils lining up | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
to take legal action against the Government if Hdathrow | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
expansion gets the go-ahead. One is even in her backyard - | :01:29. | :01:37. | |
here in Windsor and Maidenhdad where we started our journex | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
across the Tory opposition. There are very strong feelings here. | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
A third runway would be a mhle closer, flying 650 feet lowdr over | :01:43. | :01:51. | |
Maidenhead. So I think our Maidenhead rdsidents | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
understand that as well. But they are very strongly | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
pro-Gatwick compared with Hdathrow. Next stop, Hillingdon, | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
right next to the airport. The current noise footprint | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
of Heathrow affects 725,000 people. If it were allowed to build a third | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
runway, it would have a noise footprint larger than | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
the five biggest airports Local Tory MP Zac Goldsmith has | :02:11. | :02:11. | |
already promised to stand down Do you think the third runw`y | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
will ever get built? I think it's a terrible | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
waste of time. It's a waste of money | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
and I think it's - in the old words of Quentin Hogg | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
- "stark-staring bonkers"! Our final leg took us to Wandsworth, | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
where we showed the Conserv`tive I thought the last sentence | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
was quite interesting. This is where she promised to fight | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
against a third runway, sayhng this, I hope the Secretary of State | :02:45. | :02:59. | |
recognises that as a result of this announcement, | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
nobody is going to take this Government seriously | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
on the environment again. It appears her own council | :03:06. | :03:06. | |
leaders feel the same now. There's been a very straightforward | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
position from Wandsworth, which is that at the moment, | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
people are having to face the noise and | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
pollution from the runway, as well as the traffic leadhng | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
to it, Heathrow Airport. Nobody's justified why | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
we should continue to have ht Heathrow supporters, though, | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
insist the Government should give it It's at full capacity now, | :03:21. | :03:29. | |
so we do need a decision th`t will, I hope, grant Heathrow the chance | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
to move forward. And that, in turn, will cre`te | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
40,000 jobs in London alone and some Despite its many supporters, any | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
decision to expand Heathrow looks Much has been said Heathrow, | :03:41. | :03:49. | |
but what about Gatwick Yes, it is a two horse race, you | :03:50. | :04:00. | |
might say, Gatwick still shouting their corner. The smart mondy is on | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
Heathrow tomorrow when the government make the announcdment and | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
that throws up problems. Ond political and one legal. Zac | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
Goldsmith may note -- go at Richmond Park. | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
Boris Johnson threatening to lay in front of the bulldozers, I doubt he | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
will, and Justine Greening `lso opposed to it. I suspect whdn you | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
look at it, it is the legal challenge that counts the government | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
out and drags this through the court. Parliament is expectdd to | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
vote on it this time next ydar. I suspect the legal challenges will | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
drag on longer and this could be an issue at the next election. And I | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
expect we will talk about it with you tomorrow. Thank you verx much. | :04:45. | :04:45. | |
What happens when rents go up, but benefits can't | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
In some cases, it's led to people being evicted. | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
At the moment, councils onlx have a legal duty to help | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
who are a priority - such as disabled people. | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
But now, a London MP is leading the fight to change the law, | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
as our political editor, Tim Donovan, explains. | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
I was just very, very depressed because I thought after all these | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
years, I'm in something like this, this is not fair. | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
Kelly was evicted from her home when her rent was put up | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
and her housing benefit didn't cover it. | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
She presented herself at the local council offices. | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
They said to me, I'm not a vulnerable person, | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
I turned round and said, anybody that lives | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
I suffer from depression, anxiety, my back, where | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
The council did take pity on her and gave her two weeks | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
in a bedsit, but it had no further duty towards her. | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
Kelly got a place in this supported housing for 150 | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
single homeless people, but she was lucky. | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
We cannot have us having 600 people a year referred to us, | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
when we can only accommodatd about 100 every year. | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
When we reject them, it often means back out | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
onto the streets or under the local bridges, for example. | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
Housing campaigners are backing a plan to make councils responsible | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
for advising all homeless in future, not just those in priority need | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
This London MP is the driving force, trying to get his private | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
It would also double the amount of time councils had to help people | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
It changes quite dramatically, 40 years of rationing | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
We're not closing this down to only the priority need, | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
this will be to anyone that's homeless, so they will be able | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
You can go to your council for help because you're homeless and legally | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
you can be sent away to sleep on the streets. | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
This could be the biggest change in the way homeless people | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
are treated by their local authorities that there | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
It wouldn't give councils an obligation to house | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
But more responsibilities would mean more costs. | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
Our anxiety is, it could pl`ce extra responsibilities on councils without | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
giving us the resources to `ctually deliver those responsibilithes. | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
But with rising rents going hand-in-hand with more evictions, | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
campaigners say these measures are sorely needed. | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
For years, he's mesmerised `udiences as one of the principal dancers | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
But Carlos Acosta, who only recently hung up his ballet shoes, | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
He's bringing his new Cuban dance company to Sadler's Wells. | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
Louisa Preston has been speaking to him. | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
Ballet has been his life for more than three decades, stunning crowds | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
Now the superstar is bringing his new | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
contemporary dance company to the London stage. | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
Half of the company comes from a ballet background. | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
The other half comes from the modern background. | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
From that foundation, we edtcate them in all the dance forms that we | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
So any choreographer can dream big, and the comp`ny has | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
You are very much dedicated to inspiring the | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
next generation and you're hoping to start a school for disadvantaged | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
I'm very passionate about that because it is all about givhng | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
It is about giving positive things to the world, so the new | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
With his desire now to achieve even more | :08:27. | :08:35. | |
offstage than on, his familx plays a significant part in everything he | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
My kids will be growing with this project. | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
Already, my eldest, Isla, has been on | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
I think this is a possibility I am giving them | :08:47. | :08:55. | |
that I never had, to be abld to open your eyes and see | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
it is all around you, dance and music is all around | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
I am looking forward to that as well. | :09:01. | :09:10. | |
For somebody who is just starting out, | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
I think the most important thing is believe in | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
yourself, never give up and be resilient. | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
Really work very hard for what you want, | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
I'll say goodnight now and leave you with Stav Danaos | :09:27. | :09:36. | |
Good evening. It looks like this week, there will not be much rain in | :09:37. | :09:46. | |
the forecast, thanks to high pressure, settling game in what will | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
be dry weather and light winds. You will notice it turning milddr and we | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
lose the easterly wind we h`ve had virtually the entire October. Before | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
that, chilly air and a weather front across the region bringing outbreaks | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
of rain, some heavy by the dnd of the night and first thing tomorrow | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
morning. 9-10d, held up bec`use of the cloud and rain. Through Tuesday, | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
the rain fizzles out and we should see brightness developing hdre and | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
there, but I'm easterly wind, very light. 14-15dC at best. In the | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
Wednesday, high pressure brhngs in mild south-westerly winds, the | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
clouds break up nicely and temperatures 17 Celsius in the | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
capital, feeling very pleas`nt in the south-westerly wind and the | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
sunshine. Thursday, much of the same, largely dry, variable cloud, a | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
bit cloudy at which will impact the temperatures. 16 Celsius, mhld for | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
the time of year. The area of high pressure to the South of thd UK we | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
are close to the centre and winds remain light, with variable cloud | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
and some sunshine. Temperattres of around 60 degrees. Towards the | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
weekend, more of the same, weekend, more of the same, mainly | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
dry and feeling very mild. Now your national weather. | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
Good evening, major changes in the weather over the next couple of | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
days, the result being it will turn milder by day and also by night A | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
breeze picking up, a westerly, something we have not seen much of | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
this month. But there will not be a great deal of rain around. We did | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
have rain today across the south-west, leaden skies in Bristol, | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
not much of a sunset here, but the different North of the border. Fiery | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
skies here and it is | :11:39. | :11:39. |
