:00:00. > :00:08.Hello it's Tuesday, 9 o'clock, I'm Victoria Derbyshire.
:00:09. > :00:12.Welcome to the programme, our top story today.
:00:13. > :00:16.Heathrow airport looks set to expand with a third runway,
:00:17. > :00:20.cue celebrations from some businesses and protests
:00:21. > :00:36.We hope the Prime Minister chooses Heathrow expansion because most
:00:37. > :00:40.local residents around the airport support it, as do businesses small
:00:41. > :00:47.and large up and down the country, international airlines and crucially
:00:48. > :00:53.the majority of MPs. I am Jenny from Richmond, this is really bad news
:00:54. > :00:55.for West London residents and a lot of people will be very angry about
:00:56. > :00:57.this. Also today, four people have been
:00:58. > :01:04.killed on a ride at a theme park Plus, demolition of the so-called
:01:05. > :01:10.jungle camp at Calais continues this morning,
:01:11. > :01:12.around 6000 people are thought I will go with the people. If I will
:01:13. > :01:23.come back, I will try again. And we'll speak to the women who're
:01:24. > :01:26.behind a campaign to ban the phrase Welcome to the programme,
:01:27. > :01:40.we're live until 11. Particularly keen to hear
:01:41. > :01:44.from you this morning if you're an "essex girl" -
:01:45. > :01:48.do you find the phrase offensive? Do you support the idea of banning
:01:49. > :01:51.it from the dictionary? Do get in touch on all the stories
:01:52. > :01:54.we're talking about this morning, use the hashtag Victoria live
:01:55. > :01:57.and If you text, you will be charged Our top story today and it's
:01:58. > :02:01.going to dominate the programme, it's a debate that's gone
:02:02. > :02:03.on for decades but after years of discussion and delay,
:02:04. > :02:05.the government is set rule on whether or not to
:02:06. > :02:07.expand Heathrow airport. A study last year recommended
:02:08. > :02:10.a third runway at Heathrow but other options include a new runway
:02:11. > :02:13.at Gatwick or extending one But the ministerial decision
:02:14. > :02:18.won't be the end of the matter as our Transport Correspondent
:02:19. > :02:24.Richard Westcott explains. Decisions don't come
:02:25. > :02:27.much bigger than this, The first private bid suggests
:02:28. > :02:39.doubling the length of a current Then there is the two
:02:40. > :02:44.official airport bids. Here at Gatwick they are already
:02:45. > :02:47.running by far the busiest single runway airport in the world,
:02:48. > :02:50.so they want to build a new second runway behind
:02:51. > :02:54.those trees over there. You get an incredible view from here
:02:55. > :02:58.on the Heathrow control tower. Over there is where the airport
:02:59. > :03:01.wants to build its third runway, where the Brownfield starts,
:03:02. > :03:06.behind that blue building, That last Heathrow proposal
:03:07. > :03:13.is easily the favourite to win, The leafy suburb of Teddington
:03:14. > :03:22.is not officially blighted by Heathrow noise but for a third
:03:23. > :03:25.of the year they get this. Last night our child was woken
:03:26. > :03:30.up just past midnight, The last two weeks,
:03:31. > :03:42.every day, every minute. Now residents plan to challenge any
:03:43. > :03:47.expansion in the courts. I know people who are having to move
:03:48. > :03:50.after 30 years of living here because they
:03:51. > :03:54.cannot cope any more. They are going around their homes
:03:55. > :03:57.with noise cancelling headphones. No one is safe, no one within 30
:03:58. > :04:04.miles of Heathrow airport is safe of waking up one day and finding
:04:05. > :04:07.themselves suffering If, as expected, Theresa May
:04:08. > :04:15.does choose Heathrow, things could get awkward
:04:16. > :04:17.with the guy she sits I will lie down with you in front
:04:18. > :04:24.of those bulldozers The Government picks a favourite
:04:25. > :04:28.today but MPs won't vote With so many protests and legal
:04:29. > :04:33.challenges in its path, some doubt plans to grow Heathrow
:04:34. > :04:50.will ever get off the ground. Our political guru Norman Smith
:04:51. > :04:53.joins us now. Is it actually going to happen?
:04:54. > :04:56.If you talk to ministers they say yes, this time definitely it's
:04:57. > :04:59.happening. But hey, this is the longest running soap opera in
:05:00. > :05:04.British politics, it's been going on for what, 40 years or so, people
:05:05. > :05:07.first started talking about it when planes had propellors and it was
:05:08. > :05:11.chocks away and all that sort of thing and here we are still talking
:05:12. > :05:15.about it. The signs are that inside Downing Street ministers are now set
:05:16. > :05:19.to give the go-ahead to a third runway at Heathrow. That is not the
:05:20. > :05:24.end of the process. That is only the start of an incredibly long,
:05:25. > :05:27.fraught, difficult business because there'll have to be a year's
:05:28. > :05:31.consultation when there'll be all sorts of objections from
:05:32. > :05:36.environmental groups, local groups and so on and so forth, you will
:05:37. > :05:40.probably get a by-election prompted by Zac Goldsmith dead opposed to
:05:41. > :05:44.Heathrow, there'll be a vote in Parliament, who knows what Boris
:05:45. > :05:52.Johnson or Justine Greening will do. Then Heathrow will have to submit
:05:53. > :05:57.the get tailed planning permission. That's when the legal eagles land
:05:58. > :06:01.and you will see a battering, which means realistically you are talking
:06:02. > :06:04.a decade or more before any new airport capacity is built at
:06:05. > :06:06.Heathrow if indeed it is Heathrow that gets the go-ahead.
:06:07. > :06:08.Thank you. Julian Worricker is in the BBC
:06:09. > :06:11.Newsroom with a summary Four people have been killed
:06:12. > :06:17.on a ride at the Dreamworld theme men and two women died
:06:18. > :06:25.while on a river rapids ride, but gave no information on how
:06:26. > :06:28.the accident happened. Dreamworld bills itself
:06:29. > :06:31.as Australia's biggest theme park with more than 50
:06:32. > :06:34.rides and attractions. With us now is Our Australia
:06:35. > :06:43.Correspondent Phil Mercer Tell us more about what happened
:06:44. > :06:46.here, Phil? We have been hearing from ambulance officials here in
:06:47. > :06:53.eastern Australia and they say that two of the victims were thrown from
:06:54. > :06:58.a raft on the Thunder River Rapids Ride at Dreamworld, the other two
:06:59. > :07:02.victims were apparently trapped signed, all succumbing to very
:07:03. > :07:06.serious injuries. The park has been closed down, pending an
:07:07. > :07:10.investigation by the authorities. The police in Queensland say that a
:07:11. > :07:14.crime scene has been established. We understand that earlier in the day,
:07:15. > :07:20.this particular ride, it's billed as one of the more gentle experiences
:07:21. > :07:25.for families with young children at Dreamworld, was shut down on at
:07:26. > :07:29.least one occasion because of a mechanical problem or problems, so
:07:30. > :07:32.no doubt that mechanical issue will be at the heart of this
:07:33. > :07:36.investigation into this awful tragedy at one of Australia's most
:07:37. > :07:39.popular tourist destinations. Thank you very much.
:07:40. > :07:42.The demolition by French authorities of the Calais migrant camp known
:07:43. > :07:49.More than 2,000 of its residents were moved out yesterday
:07:50. > :07:51.and dispersed around France, where they can apply for asylum.
:07:52. > :08:14.An orderly queue of people there at the moment waiting to go through the
:08:15. > :08:18.process of being registered as they leave the camp. We'll keep an eye on
:08:19. > :08:23.events there throughout the day for you here on BBC News. Those are the
:08:24. > :08:27.live scenes in Calais. At least 59 cadets and guards have
:08:28. > :08:31.been killed after militants attacked a police college in the Pakistani
:08:32. > :08:34.city of Quetta. Three gunmen wearing suicide vests
:08:35. > :08:37.entered the building late last night and opened fire -
:08:38. > :08:41.all three were later killed during the operation to retake
:08:42. > :08:49.the training facility. So-called IS has claimed
:08:50. > :09:22.responsibility for the attack. A paramilitary official told
:09:23. > :09:25.reporters some of the gunmen were wearing suicide vests. The training
:09:26. > :09:30.centre is just outside the city of Quetta. The capital of the province.
:09:31. > :09:37.The same centre has been attacked twice in the last ten years, in 2008
:09:38. > :09:41.and 2006. Pakistan's been trying to quell an insurgency from the rebels
:09:42. > :09:44.for years here. Separatists have carried out attacks throughout the
:09:45. > :09:49.province while activists accuse Government forces of human rights
:09:50. > :10:07.crimes. It's the country's longest running civil conflict.
:10:08. > :10:16.Labour's been fined for breaking the rules in the 2015 election campaign.
:10:17. > :10:20.The eight-foot headstone carved with the former leader Ed Miliband's key
:10:21. > :10:23.pledges was among the payments missing from Labour's 2015 election
:10:24. > :10:26.campaign. That's a summary of the latest BBC
:10:27. > :10:31.News. More at 9. 30. Thank you very much. In the next few
:10:32. > :10:35.mince we'll be live at Heathrow. Edward says, why not allow Heathrow
:10:36. > :10:40.and gat wick to expand, thereby saving all the wrangling and Vincent
:10:41. > :10:43.says, by the time the new runway is built, the new expansion won't be
:10:44. > :10:45.enough wherever it's built, they should expand Heathrow Gatwick and
:10:46. > :10:52.Stansted, it makes much more sense. Let's get some sport
:10:53. > :10:55.with Hugh Ferris. Hugh, a fairly startling story this
:10:56. > :10:57.morning involving the owner of Watford Football Club
:10:58. > :11:07.and a forged letter. Yes, hello, good morning. These are
:11:08. > :11:12.the latest revelations from the Daily Telegraph who've obtained a
:11:13. > :11:16.copy of a letter which they say falsifies financial information used
:11:17. > :11:22.to prove the club's Italian owner had enough money when he took over
:11:23. > :11:25.from his father back in 2014 this was when Watford were in the
:11:26. > :11:28.Championship at the time, before the season that they were actually
:11:29. > :11:32.promoted. It's part of the process the Football League went through to
:11:33. > :11:37.make sure potential owners are fit and proper. They would have needed
:11:38. > :11:42.all sorts of evidence, including evidence that he could bankroll the
:11:43. > :11:47.club. A letter was provided to them on headed paper from HSBC who, it
:11:48. > :11:52.turns out, weren't even the club's holding company bank. So there's
:11:53. > :11:55.nothing to indicate that he knew this was being submitted on his
:11:56. > :11:59.behalf. He's been able to bankroll the club in the three seasons since
:12:00. > :12:03.the time the letter was submitted. It was secured by the executive
:12:04. > :12:08.chairman at the time, the letter says that he said a third party was
:12:09. > :12:13.asked to provide it for him. He trusted it was genuine, as I'm sure
:12:14. > :12:18.you can imagine, and there's now an EFL inquiry and internal inquiry
:12:19. > :12:22.going on at Watford as well. Nominations for the Ballon D'Or
:12:23. > :12:28.revealed, what is on the list and what is the prize? It's for the best
:12:29. > :12:34.player in Europe. It's no longer aligned with Fifa. The 30-man short
:12:35. > :12:40.list was drip fed to us yesterday compiled by A football magazine. It
:12:41. > :12:45.includes Messi and Ronaldo, they've won the trophy. Gareth Bale is
:12:46. > :12:48.included and eight players from the Premier League including Jamie Vardy
:12:49. > :12:52.and Riyadh Mahrez from champions Leicester City. Jamie Vardy is the
:12:53. > :12:57.only English player on the short list. The criteria is a little
:12:58. > :13:01.different now it's the old Ballon D'Or, voted in a different way, it's
:13:02. > :13:06.more man whether they are just the best player around. No-one will
:13:07. > :13:12.claim Vardy is better than Ronaldo or Messi but a few voters might let
:13:13. > :13:16.their heart rule their head. Some unusual tactics in the women's
:13:17. > :13:29.tour tennis finals, what is going on? Well, the Russian tennis player,
:13:30. > :13:33.she won a tournament in Moscow on Saturday, fast forward 48-hours,
:13:34. > :13:38.she's in Singapore, she won the first set, lost the second, was a
:13:39. > :13:43.breakdown this the third, when she decided to take some impromptu
:13:44. > :13:48.adjustments with her hair! She's chopping off a chunk of her pony
:13:49. > :13:52.tail. Half way through the third set, she goes on to win it as well,
:13:53. > :13:57.miraculously, whether it was because of the hair we don't know but
:13:58. > :14:03.afterwards she said, every time I would hit a shot my hair would hit
:14:04. > :14:08.me in the eye and I was struggling so she decided to make drastic
:14:09. > :14:11.amendments - and it worked! You have never done that, your hair is so
:14:12. > :14:15.annoying and you chop a bit off? Earlier today it was a lot longer so
:14:16. > :14:16.it's already been getting in my face today!
:14:17. > :14:22.Thank you very much. It looks like Heathrow Airport
:14:23. > :14:25.will get a third runway. The government is due to make
:14:26. > :14:27.the announcement later today though a final decision won't be made
:14:28. > :14:30.until the end of next year, Our reporter Divya Talwar spent
:14:31. > :14:34.a day with a family living under If it does get the go-ahead,
:14:35. > :14:40.what do you think you I think noise pollution
:14:41. > :14:45.is really going to affect us, even though we are sort of used
:14:46. > :14:49.to the noise. But with the increased
:14:50. > :14:51.activity I just wonder how So, going forward, I think it
:14:52. > :14:59.will definitely make us think about whether we want to stay
:15:00. > :15:03.here or not. That would be a really big decision
:15:04. > :15:06.because you have lived A massive decision for us to make,
:15:07. > :15:13.but being a dad I am obviously concerned for my son's upbringing,
:15:14. > :15:17.living in this area We will definitely think
:15:18. > :15:25.about going to an area Wouldn't you miss the sound
:15:26. > :15:29.of all these planes if you didn't No, definitely not, I think I've
:15:30. > :15:36.seen enough planes already. Heathrow is the busiest
:15:37. > :15:39.airport in the UK. It serves more than 73 million
:15:40. > :15:41.passengers a year. Nearly 1,300 planes fly in and out
:15:42. > :15:50.of the airport each day and of course that number
:15:51. > :15:52.would increase significantly with the introduction
:15:53. > :15:54.of a third runway which will It would also mean demolishing
:15:55. > :16:01.around 700 homes in nearby villages. Theresa Villiers is the Conservative
:16:02. > :16:06.MP for Chipping Barnet. She is a former Transport
:16:07. > :16:08.Minister, but is opposed She told me why she'll fight
:16:09. > :16:26.the government if they opt I'm posed to a third runway at
:16:27. > :16:30.Heathrow because it will have a huge negative environmental impact on
:16:31. > :16:33.millions of people but also because it is undeliverable because of the
:16:34. > :16:37.legal problems with meeting air quality limits and there is also a
:16:38. > :16:42.much better alternative and that's building a second runway at Gatwick.
:16:43. > :16:48.It is deliverable and apparently, will be partially open by 2027? I
:16:49. > :16:51.think that will never happen. The reason why people have been
:16:52. > :16:55.discussing a third runway at Heathrow for nearly half a century
:16:56. > :17:00.and never built one is because it is a very bad idea. I mean this,
:17:01. > :17:04.putting another quarter of a million flights into Heathrow would
:17:05. > :17:09.massively increase the noise problem at Heathrow which is already severe.
:17:10. > :17:12.The project involves would you believe tunnelling the M25. That's
:17:13. > :17:16.potentially years of transport misery on one of our most important
:17:17. > :17:21.motorways. There are so many reasons why Heathrow is a bad idea, why
:17:22. > :17:25.should we attempt to build this runway when we can have one in half
:17:26. > :17:28.the time, for half the cost and a fraction of the environmental impact
:17:29. > :17:34.by building at Gatwick instead. We're told by people who have looked
:17:35. > :17:38.into it, in-depth for years that Heathrow expansion is the way
:17:39. > :17:45.forward. If we don't expand at Heathrow it will cost the wider
:17:46. > :17:50.economy between ?30 billion and ?45 billion, it will depend on various
:17:51. > :17:53.conditions being met, a ban on night flights, more passengers having to
:17:54. > :17:57.use public transport and so on, why is that not enough for you? Gatwick
:17:58. > :18:02.would deliver broadly equivalent benefits to the economy. The
:18:03. > :18:06.benefits of Heathrow expansion have been significantly exaggerated. The
:18:07. > :18:11.Davis scmarngs who looked into this, even their sort of independent
:18:12. > :18:16.expert said that some of their estimates for economic benefits for
:18:17. > :18:20.Heathrow were exaggerated. Gatwick passed 42 million pass jerks it
:18:21. > :18:24.opened 20 long haul routes in the last 12 months and it is a great
:18:25. > :18:27.option and it is deliverable. If the Government go for Heathrow this
:18:28. > :18:32.morning I fear we will have another lost decade in terms of airport
:18:33. > :18:40.expansion. We will end up with no extra runway like Gordon Brown and
:18:41. > :18:43.Geoff Hoon did six years ago. Have you ever had a conversation with
:18:44. > :18:48.Theresa May about Heathrow expansion? She was kind enough to
:18:49. > :18:52.see me a few days ago and I'm grateful she listened to what I had
:18:53. > :18:57.to say. She was against expansion of Heathrow? Yes, well, the
:18:58. > :19:01.Conservative Party's position for many years was against Heathrow
:19:02. > :19:05.expansion. If the Government give it the green light today there is
:19:06. > :19:08.another 12 months or so of consultation. I would encourage as
:19:09. > :19:11.many people as possible to take part because there is still time to
:19:12. > :19:15.persuade the Government that the Heathrow expansion is the wrong path
:19:16. > :19:19.and we should go for Gatwick instead. What was her explanation
:19:20. > :19:24.why why she changed her mind about Heathrow? Well, I'm not able to talk
:19:25. > :19:29.about conversations I've had the Prime Minister. I put my point of
:19:30. > :19:32.view and I was pleased to be able to have the opportunity to talk
:19:33. > :19:37.directly with the Prime Minister about it. No doubt, you notion I'm
:19:38. > :19:41.sure she has an open mind going into the crucial meeting taking place
:19:42. > :19:47.today and we will just have to wait to see what the outcome is. Did she
:19:48. > :19:53.explain why she changed her mind. She is in a tricky position because
:19:54. > :19:56.of where her constituency is? I was pleased to be able to talk to the
:19:57. > :19:59.Prime Minister about this and set out my concerns, but I'm not able to
:20:00. > :20:04.disclose the content of the conversation that we had. It was a
:20:05. > :20:07.private meeting and the Prime Minister obviously over the course
:20:08. > :20:11.of the day through the Transport Secretary will be setting out the
:20:12. > :20:12.decision that's been made. Thank you very much for your time
:20:13. > :20:18.this morning. Thank you. Rob Gray is the campaign
:20:19. > :20:23.director at Back Heathrow, a community organisation that wants
:20:24. > :20:25.to see expansion at Heathrow. It was launched with funding
:20:26. > :20:27.from Heathrow Airport. Jennie Langrish lives in Richmond,
:20:28. > :20:43.directly under the approach path Tell us why? Well, I most certainly
:20:44. > :20:48.am. Life is already made pretty unbearable by the airport. We're
:20:49. > :20:53.woken up at about 4.30am every morning by the first plane coming
:20:54. > :20:57.in. The noise throughout the day because, even when it is not over
:20:58. > :21:03.us, we can hear noise from the other runway. We're already raking the
:21:04. > :21:07.legal levels of pollution and that's only going to get worse. It is a
:21:08. > :21:12.disaster if it goes ahead for West London residents and you can expect
:21:13. > :21:18.a lot of anger and a lot of campaigning to get it stopped. Rob
:21:19. > :21:22.Gray, you back this expansion. Do you have sympathy with Jennie. Talk
:21:23. > :21:29.to her about the things she described? Described. Well, we do
:21:30. > :21:33.back expansion. We represent tens of thousands of local residents around
:21:34. > :21:38.the airport who support expansion. Most people support expansion in the
:21:39. > :21:41.boroughs around the airport, but I do understand from Jennie's point of
:21:42. > :21:44.view, there are noise issues and issues that need to be addressed and
:21:45. > :21:50.the independent Airports Commission looked at this and they believe as
:21:51. > :21:54.we hope do the Government that Heathrow can expand, you know,
:21:55. > :21:57.within noise and pollution limits. There are some significant
:21:58. > :22:03.advantages to Heathrow expanding. It is the UK's only hub airport. It is
:22:04. > :22:07.full up. Every other airport has space and crucially, there is huge
:22:08. > :22:12.momentum behind Heathrow because it has the majority of MPs that support
:22:13. > :22:15.it, large unions and many local residents, businesses up and down
:22:16. > :22:19.the UK, it has to be the choice today. What do you say directly to
:22:20. > :22:25.those residents whose lives will be further blighted by further
:22:26. > :22:29.expansion? Well, the residents in the villages next to Heathrow, I
:22:30. > :22:32.have a great deal of sympathy because, you know, most of them
:22:33. > :22:36.there just want the certainty. Whichever side of the fence you're
:22:37. > :22:40.on in this debate whether you're for expansion or against it, most people
:22:41. > :22:44.want governments to stop chopping and changing around and to get on
:22:45. > :22:47.with it or not get on with T we want Heathrow to be expanded. We think
:22:48. > :22:51.the Government should make that decision today. There is huge
:22:52. > :22:57.momentum behind it because there are significant support politically,
:22:58. > :23:02.locally and nationally. Jennie I wonder if I can read some
:23:03. > :23:06.messages. This one says, "Heathrow expansion is good for Britain. The
:23:07. > :23:10.lady who is complaining, when she moved to that area, did she not
:23:11. > :23:15.realise there was an airport less than 15 miles away." Until you wake
:23:16. > :23:19.up on the first morning in your new house at 4.30am, you have no idea
:23:20. > :23:24.what it is going to be like. People who say oh you must have known, you
:23:25. > :23:30.know, when it is completely silent at 4.30am and then a plane goes
:23:31. > :23:36.screeching overhead, nothing can prepare you for that. Also we moved
:23:37. > :23:40.here years and years ago. We moved here before there was a fourth
:23:41. > :23:47.terminal let alone a fifth terminal and at that stage, Heathrow were
:23:48. > :23:52.promising I have a letter from them in writing 1999 saying there will
:23:53. > :23:55.never be a third runway. Promising residents if we allow Terminal 5 to
:23:56. > :23:59.go ahead, they promised us there wouldn't be a third runway. You
:24:00. > :24:02.know, I mean, people have a right to say that, you know, even if they did
:24:03. > :24:07.know, that there was an airport, they didn't expect it to be anything
:24:08. > :24:12.like the size it is now. We have been lied to con tusy for years and
:24:13. > :24:17.years and years. Rob Gray, I wonder if you think if the decision is
:24:18. > :24:23.confirmed today by Theresa May that it will actually be built? Well, we
:24:24. > :24:27.think, I think, yes. I think it is going to be difficult. You've got
:24:28. > :24:30.long-term infrastructure meeting short-term politics, but it looks as
:24:31. > :24:34.though we've got a Government that's prepared to bite the bullet on this.
:24:35. > :24:38.It is always going to be difficult wherever you expand, but I think
:24:39. > :24:42.Heathrow itself has worked harder to address community concerns. It is
:24:43. > :24:45.never going to please everybody. But in the public consultation last year
:24:46. > :24:51.which was carried out by the Airports Commission, there were over
:24:52. > :24:54.70,000 responses. 82% of those were pro-Heathrow and most of those, tens
:24:55. > :25:00.of thousands were from local residents. Yes, there are opposition
:25:01. > :25:04.and support in the local communities, but most people in the
:25:05. > :25:08.boroughs around the airport and more local MPs, Slough are coming round
:25:09. > :25:11.to back Heathrow expansion and they are joined by the majority of MPs
:25:12. > :25:14.across the country and as I say, businesses and unions up and down
:25:15. > :25:18.the country want to see this happen now. I think whatever side of the
:25:19. > :25:22.fence you're on, I think here is a Government that hopefully will say
:25:23. > :25:27.yes and will deliver for Britain. Jennie, what do you say to Rob? I
:25:28. > :25:33.would say that it is, it hasn't been a fair fight. I mean Heathrow spent
:25:34. > :25:37.I think over ?30 million trying to promote the benefits. Residents have
:25:38. > :25:41.a small organisation with one part-time member of staff, but that
:25:42. > :25:45.doesn't mean that their arguments are right just because they have got
:25:46. > :25:49.big business and big money and they can shout louder. There are plenty
:25:50. > :25:52.of businesses who don't agree with Heathrow expansion and certainly
:25:53. > :25:55.local businesses in the area around Heathrow are crowded out because
:25:56. > :26:01.Heathrow pushes up the cost of labour. It pushes up the cost of
:26:02. > :26:05.warehouses and then it creates low quality jobs for people sitting
:26:06. > :26:10.there staring at cases going by or checking people in and it creates a
:26:11. > :26:14.kind of mono culture of an economy around the airport. This idea that
:26:15. > :26:19.it is great for the economy and also the idea that it is great for
:26:20. > :26:22.business. I think something like 11% of flights from Heathrow are
:26:23. > :26:26.business passengers and that's actually been falling. So, you know,
:26:27. > :26:29.I think just because they've got the money and they can shout louder
:26:30. > :26:34.doesn't actually mean that they're right. We're going to hear from Zac
:26:35. > :26:37.Goldsmith, he is the Conservative MP and he threatened to resign and
:26:38. > :26:42.cause a by-election and he would stand as an independent if the
:26:43. > :26:45.Government give third runway expansion at Heathrow the go-ahead.
:26:46. > :26:47.He has been door stepped. Let's have a listen.
:26:48. > :26:51.REPORTER: Good morning Mr Goldsmith how is it going, would you mind
:26:52. > :26:56.having a quick word with us about Heathrow? Could you tell us if you
:26:57. > :26:59.will go ahead with your resignation if Heathrow goes ahead? We will wait
:27:00. > :27:02.to see what the Prime Minister has to say. But it looks very, very
:27:03. > :27:05.likely that Heathrow will be the choice today. I hope the Government
:27:06. > :27:15.makes the right decision. We will wait and see. Have you had a brief
:27:16. > :27:19.with Theresa May yourself? He is your MP, would you back him if he
:27:20. > :27:23.resigns and causes a by-election and stands as an independent? Yes,
:27:24. > :27:29.definitely. He has been very supportive of the campaign against
:27:30. > :27:37.Heathrow expansion. Certainly if it does get the go-ahead that is what I
:27:38. > :27:40.would expect him to do and I would certainly support him. Here are more
:27:41. > :27:47.comments from people watching. Gareth says, "Why is your programme
:27:48. > :27:55.pushing Heathrow expansion and not reporting impartially?" " This twret
:27:56. > :27:59.from LP, "If people chose to live under Heathrow's flightpath, why are
:28:00. > :28:07.you complaining now?" Trevor says, "Can there be any people who lived
:28:08. > :28:10.near major airports that were there before the airport expanded?"
:28:11. > :28:15.Increase in rate of progress to environmental calamity. It is
:28:16. > :28:22.madness! Thank you very much Jennie and to Rob Gray who is the campaign
:28:23. > :28:24.director at Back Heathrow which is a community organisation which
:28:25. > :28:26.supports expansion at Heathrow. It was launched with funding from
:28:27. > :28:35.Heathrow Airport. At least 59 cadets and guards have
:28:36. > :28:38.been killed after militants attacked a police college in the Pakistani
:28:39. > :28:40.city of Quetta. Three gunmen wearing suicide vests
:28:41. > :28:42.entered the building late last night and opened fire -
:28:43. > :28:45.all three were later killed during the operation to retake
:28:46. > :28:58.the training facility. This attack started at 9pm local
:28:59. > :29:06.time. Three to four armed attackers tried to enter into this training
:29:07. > :29:14.facility. It is a police training facility. They engaged with one of
:29:15. > :29:17.the guards on a tower which was overlooking the wall and they killed
:29:18. > :29:23.him and than they entered into the premises and went into one of the
:29:24. > :29:32.dormitories where the recruits were sleeping. Footage that's just come
:29:33. > :29:39.out from local media shows that there was a gunfight in that
:29:40. > :29:46.dormitory. It was put on fire and there is a huge big crater in there
:29:47. > :29:50.as well. It shows that the suicide bombers, three of them, were
:29:51. > :29:53.involved. Two of them blew themselves up and the third one, the
:29:54. > :29:59.local authorities are claiming they shot him dead. The death toll as we
:30:00. > :30:08.now have from the hospital sources is that 60 are dead and that over 1
:30:09. > :30:12.had 00 are wounded -- 100 are wounded.
:30:13. > :30:20.What do you know about the militants? Well, it is quite
:30:21. > :30:28.confusing so far because initially the security officials told media in
:30:29. > :30:35.Pakistan that a local sectarian splinter group is behind this
:30:36. > :30:38.attack. But than we got another e-mail from Pakistani Taliban, a
:30:39. > :30:42.small group, claiming that they were behind it and now we are getting
:30:43. > :30:47.reports that the so-called Islamic State has claimed through its news
:30:48. > :30:54.agency that it was behind this attack. So if it's true then this
:30:55. > :30:57.could be the first official claim of Islamic State of carrying out a
:30:58. > :31:01.violent attack in Pakistan. Thank you.

:32:05. > :32:07.on millions of people but also because it's undeliverable because

:35:27. > :35:38.Jones is at Calais. How are things going? Chaotic scenes
:35:39. > :35:45.earlier when a huge number of people turned up and there was jostling for
:35:46. > :35:51.position in queues. A pretech told me they may start the process of
:35:52. > :35:55.dismantling structures. One of the people who've been living in the
:35:56. > :36:00.jungle from Pakistan is with me. How long have you been here? Six months.
:36:01. > :36:07.What has life been like in the jungle? The young sell no good. Too
:36:08. > :36:11.much of a difficult place. So we are now going to camp. What are you
:36:12. > :36:15.doing now, what is happening today? I don't know. I don't know where we
:36:16. > :36:21.go, I don't know. You are going to stay in France? No, I don't want to
:36:22. > :36:25.stay to France because I want work and we don't have money, we don't
:36:26. > :36:33.have a home, so where we go? Would you lake to go to the UK? Yes, I
:36:34. > :36:36.would like to go UK? Why? Because they're working there, we want work,
:36:37. > :36:41.so what do we do here, we don't have money, we don't have a home so what
:36:42. > :36:45.we do here? What is the situation like? There seems to be a lot of
:36:46. > :36:57.problems with people getting on buses? What do we do now, I don't
:36:58. > :37:03.know. Is it often trouble in the jungle, do you feel safe? I don't
:37:04. > :37:07.know what I do now, I don't know what I do. OK, thank you very much
:37:08. > :37:10.for joining us. A bit of confusion about what people
:37:11. > :37:14.are going to do. I'll take you to this direction to have a chat with a
:37:15. > :37:18.charity worker we spoke to yesterday to see what his take is. We are just
:37:19. > :37:22.going over the railway lines which shows you how makeshift this whole
:37:23. > :37:28.structure is. Can I just butt in for one moment. We spoke to you
:37:29. > :37:35.yesterday on the programme. 24 hours on, how do you think it's going? I'm
:37:36. > :37:43.surprised this morning because I was waiting for the same system as
:37:44. > :37:52.yesterday which hasn't at the has 1,000 to 2,000 others waiting to go
:37:53. > :37:58.to the accommodation centre. Not so many people turning up? No, but a
:37:59. > :38:03.lot of minors, they don't go to UK today, they don't understand exactly
:38:04. > :38:10.what is happening. Normally with minors, they are registered here and
:38:11. > :38:15.they go back to accommodations in Calais to I don't know what. It
:38:16. > :38:26.seemed quite chaotic this morn something For the minors it's
:38:27. > :38:29.chaotic, but for the others, the others don't come, I don't
:38:30. > :38:34.understand why there is people waiting, there is about 2,000 people
:38:35. > :38:42.yesterday, seems to be 500, maybe 1,000 people for two hours, no more.
:38:43. > :38:46.And after that, where are the others, I don't see. Thank you very
:38:47. > :38:51.much for joining us. Confusion about who is going today
:38:52. > :38:55.and you can see there is still a lot of people around and a big police
:38:56. > :39:02.presence making sure things are going off smoothly. A lot of people
:39:03. > :39:06.wondering what their future holds. Migrants have been resigned to
:39:07. > :39:09.getting on buses and going to other parts of France. Another group of
:39:10. > :39:13.people are waiting here to see whether they might be able to get on
:39:14. > :39:18.buses. I've just heard the latest figure so far is more than 2,000
:39:19. > :39:22.people have got on 52 coaches during the course of yesterday and, as of 9
:39:23. > :39:28.o'clock this morning. They are hoping to get more under way. There
:39:29. > :39:32.seems to be a lack of people. Whether that is a sign of people
:39:33. > :39:35.wanting to come down who've come down and others remaining to see
:39:36. > :39:40.what happens when they start bringing in some machinery to clear
:39:41. > :39:44.it. Initially it will be a softly-softly approach. We thought
:39:45. > :39:47.there might be images of bulldozers coming in tearing down camps as we
:39:48. > :39:54.have seen in previous clearances but the authorities are keen to get as
:39:55. > :39:58.many people down here voluntarily before they do anything forcefully.
:39:59. > :40:04.We are expecting clearing teams to do it gently before they go in
:40:05. > :40:08.perhaps towards the end of the week and clear more structures. Save the
:40:09. > :40:11.Children are saying today that they think the demolition should be put
:40:12. > :40:16.on hold until all the children are accounted for. It's thought
:40:17. > :40:20.potentially there is still around 800 children unaccompanied in the
:40:21. > :40:22.jungle, supposed to be moving to shipping containers on the side of
:40:23. > :40:26.the jungle where they will be secure. Overall there is a fear that
:40:27. > :40:30.that is not happening quickly enough and that a lot of the children are
:40:31. > :40:32.still going to be many the catch when the clearing takes place,
:40:33. > :40:35.whatever sort of form it takes. Thank you very much for the moment.
:40:36. > :40:39.We can speak now to Rowan Farrell, a volunteer out in Calais,
:40:40. > :40:41.with French migrants, and Philip Cordery,
:40:42. > :40:43.a French Socialist MP who represents French ex-pats
:40:44. > :40:47.living in The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.
:40:48. > :40:52.A lack of people Simon was saying there. Most people staying in the
:40:53. > :40:58.camp despite the fact it's going to start the clearance today?
:40:59. > :41:02.I've seen a few hundred people taking bags towards the processing
:41:03. > :41:08.warehouse, but to me, the main problem here is the lack of
:41:09. > :41:12.information to people, the process of actually officially informing
:41:13. > :41:16.people in the camp with flyers in all the different languages of the
:41:17. > :41:19.camp only started yesterday. We have known about the evictions coming for
:41:20. > :41:21.just over a month, the associations at least and the press, but that's
:41:22. > :41:26.the first time that officials have come in to tell people there is
:41:27. > :41:31.definitely an eviction and this provision has been put in place.
:41:32. > :41:36.OK, so if they only knew that and had confirmation of that yesterday,
:41:37. > :41:39.I suppose it is feasible that the information hasn't filtered through
:41:40. > :41:44.the thousands who're still there, is that fair?
:41:45. > :41:48.Of course. I mean, my charity's tone a lot of work to inform people.
:41:49. > :41:55.Weekend see that none of the officials were doing it so we've
:41:56. > :41:58.created multi lingual handouts talking about the French asylum
:41:59. > :42:02.system. We get questions like somebody asked last week, do the
:42:03. > :42:05.buses take them to other jungle camps, they ask about the
:42:06. > :42:09.accommodation centres, are they allowed out in the day or forced to
:42:10. > :42:12.go out in the morning and can't return in the evening, they just
:42:13. > :42:16.don't know where the buses take them. I spoke to one person
:42:17. > :42:19.yesterday and he thought the buses were taking them to different
:42:20. > :42:24.countries around Europe and the children thought they were getting
:42:25. > :42:30.on a bus directly to the UK. Let me bring in the French Socialist
:42:31. > :42:34.MP now. Do you think you have got enough information out to the people
:42:35. > :42:40.still living in the camp? Well, I mean, obviously not enough,
:42:41. > :42:46.but if there is some confusion today. It's a big operation and it
:42:47. > :42:49.will take the time that it takes and the intention of the Government is
:42:50. > :42:54.to have a smoother operation. The most important thing is that it's
:42:55. > :42:58.being dismantled and that's what the Government wanted, that's what
:42:59. > :43:03.people wanted and the people who were in the camp will have a more
:43:04. > :43:08.decent lodging in the coming days thanks to a great mobilisation of
:43:09. > :43:12.all the local authorities in France which are going to welcome these
:43:13. > :43:16.migrants. I think it's a real humanitarian act that is being
:43:17. > :43:20.started today. When the cleaning teams go in today
:43:21. > :43:23.which is our understanding of what is going to happen, they will meet
:43:24. > :43:28.people who're still in tents, so will it be up to them to say you
:43:29. > :43:35.need to get to the processing centre? No, I think of course the
:43:36. > :43:43.relodging will continue all day today. There is the problem of the
:43:44. > :43:47.minors and the UK has accepted to take the minors with families but
:43:48. > :43:52.not all minors have families and that's taking a lot of time. It
:43:53. > :43:57.would be good to have maybe a bit more cooperation from that side so
:43:58. > :44:03.that those who really are expecting to rejoin their family can go to the
:44:04. > :44:08.UK as soon as possible. It's really a common responsibility of all, it's
:44:09. > :44:13.not just a French problem that we have in Calais, I think France is
:44:14. > :44:19.showing now that they really want to act and make sure that all the
:44:20. > :44:23.migrants have a decent life. It's important that everyone joins in
:44:24. > :44:26.that effort. What is the extra cooperation that you say is lacking
:44:27. > :44:32.from the British side that you would like to see? Taking all the minors
:44:33. > :44:39.with families, but maybe also a few other minors, I mean at least that
:44:40. > :44:42.and maybe accelerating the movement of the minors to the UK.
:44:43. > :44:53.OK, thank you very much both of you. Calls for the phrase "Essex
:44:54. > :44:56.girl" to be wiped out from the dictionary because it's
:44:57. > :44:58.offensive and derogatory. We'll speak to the two women from
:44:59. > :45:01.Essex who are behind the campaign. Lynette on Facebook says,
:45:02. > :45:04."I am a Essex girl , I was born in Barking,
:45:05. > :45:12.Essex and now living I haven't lost my
:45:13. > :45:19.east London accent!" She's one of this country's
:45:20. > :45:23.greatest ever ballerinas, but you may know her better
:45:24. > :45:26.for being one of the four You are now a fully fledged judge
:45:27. > :45:38.of Strictly Come Dancing. Our favourite thing, Darcy,
:45:39. > :46:08.was you watching him. To be able to get a retraction
:46:09. > :46:42.on each of those kicks. What you did over there,
:46:43. > :46:49.and none of them failed with the energy and attack
:46:50. > :47:00.you gave them. I know you can do it
:47:01. > :47:03.and you tried again, And Darcey Bussell is here
:47:04. > :47:19.because you have a book out which is a collection of beautiful
:47:20. > :47:29.photos of you in your I was subconsciously thinking
:47:30. > :47:33.otherwise! You're very welcome to our programme. You are here in part
:47:34. > :47:37.because you have a book out. A beautiful photo book which reminds
:47:38. > :47:42.people that you actually were a rather good dancer... That's very
:47:43. > :47:47.kind. Some Strictly audience, the younger ones may not realise that? I
:47:48. > :47:52.do get that a lot actually. A lot of people, you know, suddenly go, "I
:47:53. > :47:56.just found out that you were a ballet dancer." I was hoping that
:47:57. > :48:01.somebody would have known. It is difficult when you had a career, I
:48:02. > :48:06.had a long career as a classical dancer. It is never televised, it is
:48:07. > :48:12.in a live stage theatre environment. This is a very different world. Yes.
:48:13. > :48:16.And very, very different compared to the kind of training that you used
:48:17. > :48:22.to have to put in which was six days a week, was it not from a very young
:48:23. > :48:27.age? I started working with the company professionally when I was 17
:48:28. > :48:31.just being a stand-this, an apprentice and getting thrown into
:48:32. > :48:36.roles and then later, I got a job when I was 18 and went into the
:48:37. > :48:40.touring company and in it is full-on. You don't have time to
:48:41. > :48:45.think about anything else except that career and it takes up all of
:48:46. > :48:48.your time. When you were 13 and at ballet school, what did a teacher
:48:49. > :48:53.say to you? LAUGHTER
:48:54. > :48:57.No. She did, I, think in the direction of either get your act
:48:58. > :49:02.together or leave. I was feeling really sorry for myself. I had come
:49:03. > :49:06.late into the Royal Ballet School and was far behind everybody else
:49:07. > :49:10.and didn't believe that I could actually catch up. She said if you
:49:11. > :49:15.don't believe, you might as well leave because if you don't have the
:49:16. > :49:19.guts and the determination to stick your heals in and stick with it then
:49:20. > :49:22.decide now. It was strange at 13 to be told that, but actually it was
:49:23. > :49:25.sort of a slap in the right direction because it made me focus
:49:26. > :49:28.and realise that I didn't want to give up, I wanted to make the most
:49:29. > :49:33.of the time I had there. That's interesting. Luckily you were
:49:34. > :49:37.stubborn perhaps... I was horribly stubborn. Could have been seen as
:49:38. > :49:44.unreasonable pressure on a girl young? I have to admit I was crying
:49:45. > :49:47.every day. I would come out of class and go, "I'm rubbish. I'm hopeless,
:49:48. > :49:52.I can't do what all the others were doing." And I didn't believe inside
:49:53. > :49:55.and she said, "Look, you know, you have all the ability, your body is
:49:56. > :50:00.there, it is just going to take time. If you don't have the head for
:50:01. > :50:07.it, and this is how you're going to act then leave." I have to say I
:50:08. > :50:14.thought, no, no, this is not right! So it was, I think that's been
:50:15. > :50:17.actually a help because then I've realised that I have had to do to
:50:18. > :50:22.stay at the top as well. It is not just about the fight, but the
:50:23. > :50:28.determination of, you know, working each day to your best and doing a
:50:29. > :50:33.bit more than the other person, you know, and also not being typecast. I
:50:34. > :50:36.was always, because I was always the tall, English, British ballerina
:50:37. > :50:39.which was very unusual. We are meant to be small and I had to prove
:50:40. > :50:44.myself that I could fit into roles that weren't seen for tall girls.
:50:45. > :50:48.Are your girls interested in ballet? My oldest isn't. How old is she sth
:50:49. > :50:54.She is 15. She is stopped dancing probably when she was about eight.
:50:55. > :50:59.Which is fine. She was into lots of other activities so I didn't worry
:51:00. > :51:03.about her not doing anything. My youngest loves to try every sort of
:51:04. > :51:06.dance and she, I don't know, if she actually wants to go professionally
:51:07. > :51:10.that way, but she loves musical theatre as well. I think they fell
:51:11. > :51:15.in love with the stage and growing up with me performing and we come to
:51:16. > :51:19.rehearsals and watch things on Saturdays when they didn't have
:51:20. > :51:26.school. So, I'm really happy they've fallen in love with that side of it,
:51:27. > :51:30.but I think dance is an essential part of everybody's life especially
:51:31. > :51:33.a kid's because it is another way of expressing themselves and enjoyment,
:51:34. > :51:36.you know... You have got a dance programme that goes into schools,
:51:37. > :51:40.haven't you? We have a lovely programme that uses the variety of
:51:41. > :51:44.dance genres that are out there. This is like every style you can
:51:45. > :51:48.imagine like Bollywood to line dance, to Greek, to African, you
:51:49. > :51:55.know, and even we do the eras as well, we have a lot of fun like a
:51:56. > :51:59.1980s Rocky, very different styles. To have variety for kids, to just
:52:00. > :52:06.experience something, something that might tick the box because when you
:52:07. > :52:10.turn on the music on, it inspires kids and they move and they don't
:52:11. > :52:14.even appreciate they're exercising. It is a really lovely way of getting
:52:15. > :52:19.them active without them going... Is this a chore? They don't believe it
:52:20. > :52:23.is a chore. They're going, "This is great fun. I've never done anything
:52:24. > :52:27.like this before." For me, it is such an enjoyable thing to do. It is
:52:28. > :52:32.hard work because I want as many schools to have this programme as
:52:33. > :52:37.part of their PE. So we're just trying to feed it in slowly. But
:52:38. > :52:42.really, it is really exciting. Tell us about dancing alongside Dawn
:52:43. > :52:47.French. We have some nice pictures. Oh do you? Well, they are in the
:52:48. > :52:53.book. I mean that was quite an extraordinary thing because
:52:54. > :52:59.obviously I did French And Saunders, but Dawn on The Vicar Of Dibley we
:53:00. > :53:04.did this sketch first... We did this sketch for a charity at the
:53:05. > :53:09.Haymarket theatre and she said, "How would you feel about doing it for
:53:10. > :53:15.Victoria Derbyshire are of Dibley?" I suppose I love her and I love
:53:16. > :53:20.everything she does and to actually be able to laugh at myself as well
:53:21. > :53:23.is incredit blir important. I don't know how you're not corpsing as
:53:24. > :53:27.you're doing that because she is amazing? It was so hard. We were on
:53:28. > :53:31.a tiny stage and it was difficult actually to achieve as much as we
:53:32. > :53:38.did together on there. But she did say, "I want the same costume as
:53:39. > :53:44.you. I want to be able to do as many." She was a brilliant partner.
:53:45. > :53:48.Right Strictly, this is Len's last series as head judge... It is sad.
:53:49. > :53:52.Who do you want to replace him? I couldn't imagine anybody that could
:53:53. > :53:56.replace him, you know, he is unreplaceable. He is such a
:53:57. > :54:00.character and I've grown up watching him and then suddenly sitting next
:54:01. > :54:07.to him. He's such a force where his knowledge, you know, he has been a
:54:08. > :54:11.judge way before this show started, a professional ballroom judge and I
:54:12. > :54:16.love feeding off him and finding out more so why, we would call that in
:54:17. > :54:23.the ballet world and he goes what is that? He goes, no this is what it is
:54:24. > :54:28.called or this is this. I so enjoy the different techniques and waves,
:54:29. > :54:33.but so similar to my profession all those finer details that we try and
:54:34. > :54:38.perfect and it is really exciting. Could Anton do it? Of course, he do
:54:39. > :54:42.it. There are many professionals out there that I think that are putting
:54:43. > :54:53.their CVs forward. Are they? I know there is a list! Hi Carol! Carol is
:54:54. > :54:57.here. But it is going to be really interesting who can replace Len. We
:54:58. > :55:01.will miss him horribly. Could Arlene make a comeback? It is a different
:55:02. > :55:04.world because she is not a professional ballroom Latin and we
:55:05. > :55:08.need a professional ballroom Latin judge as part of that team. It is
:55:09. > :55:12.looking for one of those people, but I mean Arlene, gosh, it would be
:55:13. > :55:15.lovely. I know Arlene well and I respect her and I'm aware of
:55:16. > :55:19.everything she choreographed and created as well. Ed Balls is the
:55:20. > :55:23.star of this series, clearly! I don't know about that. There is
:55:24. > :55:27.others! There are others, but he captured the public's imagination. I
:55:28. > :55:32.wonder if you think he might have to do a John Sergeant and effectively
:55:33. > :55:36.quit because he is taking, you could argue, one could argue taking the
:55:37. > :55:40.place of more talented dancers? I don't know. Actually he is going on
:55:41. > :55:44.a bit of journey as we don't like to say, but he is actually improving
:55:45. > :55:50.and I know people probably go, "No way! " I think he enjoys the
:55:51. > :55:53.entertainment value that he is receiving and he's enjoying
:55:54. > :55:56.delivering as well, but he could be a serious dancer and it will be
:55:57. > :56:01.interesting to see where he goes. I think his ambition is to get to
:56:02. > :56:06.Blackpool! Yes. But, we will see, I don't know. I think he's going to
:56:07. > :56:10.get better. Do you? Yeah. He has got the determination... When? When?
:56:11. > :56:14.When is that going to happen? It has happened. I think he's, he loves the
:56:15. > :56:18.challenge. So you know like that lift that went for bli wrong and it
:56:19. > :56:22.is understanding how to recover from things like that. Did you see him
:56:23. > :56:26.straightaway he wanted to prove he could achieve it. He got Katya back
:56:27. > :56:31.up into the air and said, "Look, I can do it. I can do it." Live shows
:56:32. > :56:34.are horrible. Things go wrong. Even as a professional things go wrong,
:56:35. > :56:41.it is just how you cover it up! What do you make of the claims of racism
:56:42. > :56:45.of this year's series after Melvin and Tameka were voted out? I don't
:56:46. > :56:48.believe it exists at all on the programme. If you came on to the
:56:49. > :56:53.show and saw for yourself, it is not there. It is not there at all. I
:56:54. > :56:57.think it was to do with the voting public rather than the show? It is
:56:58. > :57:03.not that. I think these things are unlucky where it falls where people
:57:04. > :57:08.get, where they're in the vote, vote off, the result, that result show
:57:09. > :57:14.and it is horrible to think that it could even mean that, but I just
:57:15. > :57:20.don't see it at all. What about criticism that there are too many
:57:21. > :57:24.trained dancers like Danny Mack had a bit of training we're told up
:57:25. > :57:28.against people who had no formal training? I think again, that's up
:57:29. > :57:33.to the public to rule whether who should move through and who is
:57:34. > :57:38.favourite. If they are too good the audience will get bored. We love to
:57:39. > :57:44.see people develop and get motivated and love learning new styles all the
:57:45. > :57:48.time. For me, as a professional dancer and as a judge, it is a big
:57:49. > :57:54.relief that we have some people that can actually dance, but you never
:57:55. > :58:00.know. I have to say Ore is probably one of the best examples. He is
:58:01. > :58:04.amazing? He is more of an athlete who would ever know he had that
:58:05. > :58:08.musicality and that ability to retain all those steps? That's the
:58:09. > :58:12.hardest thing we forget is picking up the moves and then not going
:58:13. > :58:16.wrong. His focus and his determination and I think that's
:58:17. > :58:20.sometimes better than his actual skill that we're not noticing, but
:58:21. > :58:24.all-round, he is a one-off. Who do you think is going to win this year?
:58:25. > :58:29.You can't tell. You can't tell. It is in, I mean, we advice the public,
:58:30. > :58:34.but it is really up to the public here who they want. OK. To stay.
:58:35. > :58:42.And Darcey Bussell's book, A Life in Pictures is out now.
:58:43. > :58:49.Carol you remember obviously. It is lovely to see you Carol. Which year
:58:50. > :58:57.do you think watts best? Oh no! I'm only in my fifth year.
:58:58. > :59:00.That's OK! LAUGHTER
:59:01. > :59:04.For me, I suppose, one of the most exciting years was when Lewis Smith
:59:05. > :59:12.won. I can't remember what year that was now. It was after the 2012. Of
:59:13. > :59:17.course. That, I think, was even my first yes so it was my first. Darcey
:59:18. > :59:23.that's the wrong answer. Last year was the best! How silly of me! It is
:59:24. > :59:27.lovely to see you both. The weather is lovely too. For some of us, not
:59:28. > :59:30.everywhere, we have had fog around this morning, but you can see from
:59:31. > :59:33.our Weather Watchers pictures we have got some crackers. This one is
:59:34. > :59:37.rather nice. It shows some sunshine coming through. There has been a bit
:59:38. > :59:41.of mist and fog around this morning particularly in the south and in the
:59:42. > :59:45.Highlands, the Vale of York and Cumbria too. That's going to
:59:46. > :59:48.continue to lift and where we've had the showers this morning, most of
:59:49. > :59:52.them will fade across Southern England and Wales. But we could see
:59:53. > :59:55.one or two left behind. So the northern half of the country is
:59:56. > :59:58.where we've got thely on AES share of the sunshine and that will
:59:59. > :00:01.continue through the course of the afternoon. A few showers off the
:00:02. > :00:05.East Coast of England and Scotland fading through the afternoon, but
:00:06. > :00:09.later on, the cloud will thicken across the north-west and here too,
:00:10. > :00:12.we will see strengthening winds and rain later. Across Northern Ireland,
:00:13. > :00:15.once again, there will be bright spells, but there will be sunshine.
:00:16. > :00:19.Some sunshine coming through the cloud in Wales. So a bright
:00:20. > :00:23.afternoon for many. And some sunny spells too as we push into the
:00:24. > :00:27.south-west, but still at times there will be quite a bit of cloud around,
:00:28. > :00:31.which means it will be bright rather than wall to wall blue skies. The
:00:32. > :00:34.situation continues across Southern England and through the Midlands and
:00:35. > :00:38.East Anglia and Kent. Here and there we could catch the odd shower coming
:00:39. > :00:41.out of the thicker cloud. Through the evening and overnight, our
:00:42. > :00:44.weather front brings in rain across Western Scotland and also Northern
:00:45. > :00:48.Ireland. Here strengthening winds as well. There will be a lot of cloud
:00:49. > :00:52.around tonight. There will be patchy fog particularly so across parts of
:00:53. > :00:55.southern England and particularly in the South East. That could be dense
:00:56. > :00:59.and take its time to clear tomorrow, but as a result, it is not going to
:01:00. > :01:02.be as cold a night as the one just gone. Temperatures currently in
:01:03. > :01:05.Scotland are still minus three Celsius. Tomorrow morning, they're
:01:06. > :01:14.going to be plus seven or eight Celsius or that bit higher.
:01:15. > :01:19.Tomorrow we have a front coming into Northern Ireland and Northern
:01:20. > :01:22.England. Behind it, we will see showers. For the rest of the UK dry
:01:23. > :01:27.with sunshine and temperatures creeping up. We could hit 16 or 17
:01:28. > :01:30.Celsius in the South East, when we lose the fog, but generally down
:01:31. > :01:36.this East Coast compared to of late, it will feel much milder because
:01:37. > :01:39.we've lost that on shore easterly wind that's been plaguing us through
:01:40. > :01:42.October. As we head on into Thursday, more of the same. The
:01:43. > :01:46.weather once again stuck in a rut, but a different rut this time. So we
:01:47. > :01:50.still have some weather fronts coming in across Scotland, Northern
:01:51. > :01:54.Ireland, and north-west England. Not producing a lot of rain, but it will
:01:55. > :01:57.be fairly windy. Move away from that, and we're looking at brighter
:01:58. > :02:02.conditions particularly the further south and east that you are with
:02:03. > :02:05.highs up to 16 Celsius. So in the next few days, temperatures will be
:02:06. > :02:08.a couple of degrees above average compared to the last few days when
:02:09. > :02:17.they have been a couple of degrees below average.
:02:18. > :02:19.Hello it's Tuesday, it's 10am, I'm Victoria Derbyshire,
:02:20. > :02:21.welcome to the programme. Our top story today -
:02:22. > :02:29.Heathrow airport looks set to expand with a third runway The chaotic
:02:30. > :02:34.We'll find out in the next few hours whether it's take off for the third
:02:35. > :02:40.runway or the green light for Gatwick. And I'm with residents
:02:41. > :02:44.waiting anxiously for the decision. If a third runway goes ahead, nearly

:04:04. > :04:06.Heathrow because it would have a huge negative environmental impact

:04:19. > :04:21.building a second runway at Gatwick. There are some significant
:04:22. > :04:26.advantages to Heathrow expanding. It's the UK's only hub airport, it's
:04:27. > :04:30.full up. Every other airport has space and crucially, there's huge

:11:59. > :12:01.the signs here out as people are making it clear that they do not
:12:02. > :12:06.want this third runway at Heathrow to go ahead. A lot of people will be

:12:38. > :12:44.The first passenger plane took off in 1946 to Beunos Aires. Last year,
:12:45. > :12:51.75 million passengers passed through here. That is the issue, Heathrow is
:12:52. > :12:54.operating at full capacity, Gatwick isn't far behind it. The Government
:12:55. > :13:01.said they needed to do something about it and since then, we have
:13:02. > :13:03.seen a back-and-forth of consultations, court rulings, until
:13:04. > :13:08.the airport commission was set up in 2012 to take an independent look at
:13:09. > :13:12.what needed to be done. They considered the three options, a new
:13:13. > :13:17.runway, extension of a runway or a new runway at Gatwick. They decided
:13:18. > :13:21.all three were viable but a new runway at Heathrow was the option
:13:22. > :13:24.they would support. We are awaiting to hear what the Government says is
:13:25. > :13:31.their preferred option. It's thought a new runway at Heathrow would
:13:32. > :13:35.increase jobs by maybe 75,000 by 2030 whereas at Gatwick, only 6,500.
:13:36. > :13:41.It's thought a new runway at Heathrow could add up to ?146
:13:42. > :13:44.billion to the UK economy over the next 60 years, at Gatwick that
:13:45. > :13:48.number falls to under ?100 billion. If they are going to get more out of
:13:49. > :13:52.Heathrow, they would have to put more in to build the new runway
:13:53. > :14:06.here, it would cost almost ?17 billion, whereas to build at Gatwick
:14:07. > :14:09.is more like... Homes listen affected by noise pollution.
:14:10. > :14:13.These are the issues the Government will be considering. We should get
:14:14. > :14:17.that decision at lunch time today but it doesn't end there. It will be
:14:18. > :14:23.another year of consultation before a vote goes to the House of Commons.
:14:24. > :14:28.Thank you very much. Our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg is reporting
:14:29. > :14:32.this - so it seems done at last, source tells me Heathrow did get the
:14:33. > :14:37.nod in committee this morning, Number Ten won't confirm or deny.
:14:38. > :14:41.That from our Political Editor Laura ones dering. Let me introduce you to
:14:42. > :14:44.various guests. Stephen Fry represents some
:14:45. > :14:47.businesses in West London and backs Heathrow expansion,
:14:48. > :14:49.and Jackie Clark-Basten owns a local hairdressing business that she says
:14:50. > :14:52.will not survive if the government decides Heathrow should
:14:53. > :15:02.get the go-ahead. An adviser to Boris Johnson joins us
:15:03. > :15:04.also. It seems done, Heathrow is going to get the nod. How do you
:15:05. > :15:19.react? It is just a nod. It is likely it
:15:20. > :15:22.won't get built. There is a high risk of that, not just because of
:15:23. > :15:25.the planning and the legal obstacles but because of the difficulty of
:15:26. > :15:29.financing it. The fact that it requires a huge amount of unbudgeted
:15:30. > :15:34.public expenditure on road and rail access in order to make it work. A
:15:35. > :15:39.little thing like moving the M25 or are they moving the M25 and what the
:15:40. > :15:45.costs of that are and who is going to bear them. We're going to Downing
:15:46. > :15:51.Street where Norman is. Hi Norman. Fill us in more. We're hearing from
:15:52. > :15:54.one of those who was at that meeting, the subcommittee of the
:15:55. > :15:58.Cabinet that met before the full Cabinet to take the actual decision
:15:59. > :16:01.on Heathrow and we're told they have given the green light to Heathrow
:16:02. > :16:06.and what will be happening now is Theresa May will be informing the
:16:07. > :16:10.full Cabinet. Boris Johnson today, avoided us. Normally he goes the
:16:11. > :16:13.front door at Number Ten. Today, he did not. He went round the back
:16:14. > :16:17.door! I suspect because he didn't want to answer too many questions
:16:18. > :16:21.about whether he was going to be lying down in front of bulldozers
:16:22. > :16:25.any time soon! The expectation is that when Chris Grayling gets up in
:16:26. > :16:27.the Commons at 12.30, he will tell MPs that the green light has been
:16:28. > :16:33.given to that third runway at Heathrow.
:16:34. > :16:36.You were an add vasor to Boris Johnson. It seems he will be given
:16:37. > :16:41.permission to crit sides, but not in a loud voice? Well, Boris is very
:16:42. > :16:44.good at criticising in quiet voices. We will just have to see how he play
:16:45. > :16:49.that is. That's for him. I don't think he'll have any bulldozers to
:16:50. > :16:53.lie down in front of however, until well after the next general election
:16:54. > :16:58.for the reasons I just gave before. I think this is the wrong choice for
:16:59. > :17:02.a Brexit economy. Because if you want to show the world that you're
:17:03. > :17:07.open, you should go for a solution which is much cheaper, which is
:17:08. > :17:10.deliverable, which is less rocky and Heathrow solution is one that's been
:17:11. > :17:13.tried over and over again and every time it makes progress, and it hits
:17:14. > :17:18.a brick wall and I think that's what is going to happen to this proposal
:17:19. > :17:24.as well. It can't stack up and made to work at ?18 billion. Let's bring
:17:25. > :17:29.in Stephen Fry. You would be happy, I think, if this announcement goes
:17:30. > :17:34.according to plan. Just talk to Daniel Moylan, who clearly thinks it
:17:35. > :17:41.is very bad idea, why you say it is the right idea? Hello Victoria. Good
:17:42. > :17:44.morning, Daniel. Daniel, and I have crossed swords on occasion on
:17:45. > :17:51.Twitter over this very subject. I'm happy. If the rumour coming ot of
:17:52. > :17:56.out of Downing Street is true. Why? ?211 billion worth of economic
:17:57. > :17:59.benefit into the country is why. I disagree with you Daniel, you're
:18:00. > :18:03.wrong on the message it sends post Brexit. It is actually saying to the
:18:04. > :18:08.world that the UK is open for business. It is a very serious
:18:09. > :18:12.statement. And West London businesses need very serious
:18:13. > :18:15.statements which are positive, which are saying we're going somewhere,
:18:16. > :18:20.we're doing something and that yes, we're ready to do business and West
:18:21. > :18:23.London would be delighted, businesses would be delighted, with
:18:24. > :18:25.this decision if what is coming out of Downing Street at the moment is
:18:26. > :18:29.true. What about the point that Mr Moylan
:18:30. > :18:32.makes that it is very unlikely, it is ever doing to to happen because
:18:33. > :18:38.there will be so many legal challenges, we know about four, Tory
:18:39. > :18:41.run councils including one covered by Theresa May's constituency who
:18:42. > :18:48.are going to bring a legal challenge against Heathrow expansion? Indeed.
:18:49. > :18:52.Well where I live Windsor and Eton Council using local rate payers
:18:53. > :18:58.money. Well, I might write a letter about that! But the point is, the
:18:59. > :19:02.Flat Either Society was going for a long time until we discovered it is
:19:03. > :19:07.round. Lots of people said that the steam engines wouldn't work and that
:19:08. > :19:11.would we would die if we were travelling at 40mph. Unless you try
:19:12. > :19:15.and achieve these things they become unachievable. If we talk something
:19:16. > :19:18.down, we will continue not to deliver. It is about time this
:19:19. > :19:23.country actually turned round and said, "We can do it. We're going to
:19:24. > :19:29.do this and deliver Heathrow, runway three and it is going to make money
:19:30. > :19:36.for the UK economy." Jackie, owner of a hairdressing saloon. It would
:19:37. > :19:43.be at the end of this third runway, Jackie, what would that mean for
:19:44. > :19:50.your business? Well, obviously a lot of the residents which are clients
:19:51. > :19:54.of mine, they will be moved out of the area. They will be moved out. I
:19:55. > :19:58.don't know how much longer I will survive once the residents have been
:19:59. > :20:04.evicted from their homes. Are you expecting to be evicted well? We
:20:05. > :20:09.aren't in the line of demolition, but Heathrow said it will be
:20:10. > :20:13.uninhabitable due to its close proximity to the runway, we will
:20:14. > :20:17.probably be in a second wave of properties that will be demolished.
:20:18. > :20:20.You have been fighting this effectively your whole life. They
:20:21. > :20:25.have been trying to get a third runway since you were born. Do you
:20:26. > :20:30.think you can win this fight again? I think so. I mean we were in this
:20:31. > :20:37.position under the last Labour Government in that particular
:20:38. > :20:40.session, we launched a legal challenge which we took the
:20:41. > :20:45.Government to court over and we won. Gun, we have legal challenges which
:20:46. > :20:48.in place and we will activate those rather soon and again we will win
:20:49. > :20:51.the case and this whole recommendation will be thrown into
:20:52. > :20:54.the long grass. We will see. Thank you very much, Jackie. Stephen,
:20:55. > :20:55.thank you for your time. Daniel, thank you very much for your time as
:20:56. > :21:00.well. Four people have been killed
:21:01. > :21:09.on a ride at the Dreamworld theme Queensland police say there was an
:21:10. > :21:18.accident involving a malfunctioning conveyor-belt on a water ride called
:21:19. > :21:26.Thunder River Rapids. A journalist is on the line now. I
:21:27. > :21:29.gather Josh there has been a police press conference. What more detail
:21:30. > :21:32.have they been able to give you? Yes, the police held their second
:21:33. > :21:37.and final press conference for the evening. They just gave the ages of
:21:38. > :21:44.the victims. That's a woman in her 40s, a woman in her 30s, and another
:21:45. > :21:47.woman and a man in their 30s. The initial investigation suggested that
:21:48. > :21:51.water pushed one raft into another raft causing one of them to tip up.
:21:52. > :21:55.When that happened, some of the adults were thrown into a wooden
:21:56. > :21:59.conveyor-belt. Two others were trapped in the ride possibly
:22:00. > :22:05.underwater. They say there was nothing the bystanders could have
:22:06. > :22:09.done to save those people. A number of eyewitnesses were seen running
:22:10. > :22:13.interest that site visibly upset and it was shortly after that the park
:22:14. > :22:17.was closed and clouds of people came streaming out.
:22:18. > :22:22.So it was to do with some piece of technology going wrong, was it, that
:22:23. > :22:27.one raft went into the other one? Ambulance officials have said there
:22:28. > :22:30.was some type of malfunction. The crash scene investigators are on
:22:31. > :22:34.site at the moment to determine exactly what happened, but this
:22:35. > :22:38.ride, it first opened in 1986 and has been running for decades without
:22:39. > :22:43.incident. It is known as a family friendly ride. Families who bring
:22:44. > :22:47.their loved ones here, everyone pretty much goes on the Thunder
:22:48. > :22:53.River Rapid Ride. It consists of a large rubber tyre with about six or
:22:54. > :22:59.so seats connected to the top of that tyre. You sit-in it. You're
:23:00. > :23:03.Velcro strapped in and you're taken up a wooden conveyor-belt and
:23:04. > :23:07.released into the rapids and you do a circuit finishing in a few
:23:08. > :23:11.minutes. This is one of the most well-known rides here at Dreamworld
:23:12. > :23:15.and there were never any issues of this. Something like this has really
:23:16. > :23:18.shaken everybody in Queensland and no doubt, it will have ramifications
:23:19. > :23:24.for the tourism industry. And have you had a statement yet
:23:25. > :23:28.from the owners of the theme park? Yes, they released a statement this
:23:29. > :23:33.afternoon saying they were shocked and deeply saddened by what happened
:23:34. > :23:38.here and they said their first priority was helping the victims'
:23:39. > :23:42.families. The CEO did come out the front and addressed the media just
:23:43. > :23:46.before the ambulance officer and a police officer. He said that they're
:23:47. > :23:50.doing all they can to help the families. It is not clear at this
:23:51. > :23:53.stage how long the park will remain closed and of course, school
:23:54. > :23:57.holidays are coming up and the summer is approaching. Usually this
:23:58. > :24:00.is one of the major draw cards of the gold coast.
:24:01. > :24:04.Thank you very much, Josh, thank you for your time.
:24:05. > :24:08.A reporter with ABC News in Australia.
:24:09. > :24:11.This morning, one of the Ukip leadership contenders tells us he's
:24:12. > :24:14.standing down from the race to back his rival Paul Nuttall MEP.
:24:15. > :24:16.We can speak to the West Midlands MEP Bill Etheridge.
:24:17. > :24:32.Well, when we first had the vacancy for leader, Paul was my preferred
:24:33. > :24:35.choice then and I was really hoping he would stand and bring the party
:24:36. > :24:40.together and take us on to new strengths. Unfortunately, at that
:24:41. > :24:44.time, he didn't stand and I felt I had an obligation to stand and I'm
:24:45. > :24:47.graltful for the support I've received. This time around, Paul has
:24:48. > :24:51.said that he's ready to go for it. He will take us forward and I can
:24:52. > :24:55.think of no better man to unify the party. Rather than letting my own
:24:56. > :24:59.personal ambitions to get in the way, it is time to put the party
:25:00. > :25:04.first and I will be supporting Paul. I think he'll make a fantastic
:25:05. > :25:09.leader. What strand of Ukipry do people like you and Paul Nuttall
:25:10. > :25:13.represent, do you think? Well, I know what strand I represent. There
:25:14. > :25:19.is a difference between me and Paul. I'm the libertarian side of Ukip.
:25:20. > :25:24.I'm very much into small state, lower taxation, direct democracy and
:25:25. > :25:28.really, quite a firebrand for that, whereas Paul, he's more of a, within
:25:29. > :25:33.the party, he sits right in the centre of opinion. He is a unifier.
:25:34. > :25:36.He is someone we can all believe in. He doesn't 100% agree with
:25:37. > :25:39.everything I agree, but what I do believe in, this is a guy who has
:25:40. > :25:44.got his heart in the right place and will take the party forward and we
:25:45. > :25:47.can all trust. Right, because you'll know another contender Suzanne Evans
:25:48. > :25:54.says she will make the party less toxic and she will occupy the common
:25:55. > :25:58.sense centre ground. Too much testosterone she says! Well, I think
:25:59. > :26:04.it is remarkable that anyone who wants to lead a party would call it
:26:05. > :26:11.toxic in the first place. Frankly Ms Evans has got her point of view and
:26:12. > :26:14.I would like to say to everyone else considering standing as example,
:26:15. > :26:19.please follow my example, let's have a unity candidate. Paul is the right
:26:20. > :26:22.man for the job and why don't we come in behind Paul and say these
:26:23. > :26:27.silly comments, let's forget that and move forward and be united.
:26:28. > :26:32.Right, I gather you were in the room when that heated conversation began
:26:33. > :26:36.between Steven Woolf and Mike Hookem. What was that like? Well, I
:26:37. > :26:40.was in the steel industry for 20 years before I moved into politics.
:26:41. > :26:45.So believe me, it was absolutely nothing. I have seen proper heated
:26:46. > :26:48.debates and that wasn't one. It was quite remarkable when Stephen got up
:26:49. > :26:52.and suggested that Mike follow him outside. But look, that's done and
:26:53. > :26:57.dusted now. Stephen is no longer in the party. We've got an inquiry
:26:58. > :27:02.result coming out tomorrow which will really clarify everything, but
:27:03. > :27:05.we move forward now and forget that sorry and embarrassing episode.
:27:06. > :27:11.Let's get on with the future. Swofl thinks the future is a death spiral
:27:12. > :27:14.for Ukip. -- Steven Woolf. Sometimes when people don't get what they
:27:15. > :27:19.want, they can take it one of two-ways. They can be honourable and
:27:20. > :27:23.move on with within a party or organisation and help it, or throw
:27:24. > :27:26.their toys ot of the pram and sit on their own in the back berdges and
:27:27. > :27:30.Stephen has chosen his path. That's up to him. I wish him well for his
:27:31. > :27:34.life outside of Ukip, but you know, we move on as Ukip and we are going
:27:35. > :27:39.to be united after this election. And now you've got, now you've won
:27:40. > :27:45.the Brexit vorkts what's the point in Ukip? Well, now, the exciting
:27:46. > :27:49.part starts. We can put forward radical policies for reform within
:27:50. > :27:52.our country. I believe that we had a long period of time where all of the
:27:53. > :27:55.political parties actually were saying very much the same things.
:27:56. > :27:58.And the reason for that was because they didn't have the power to make
:27:59. > :28:01.real change in our country. Now we have, if we can make Brexit be
:28:02. > :28:04.followed through and keep Mrs May true to her word then we've got an
:28:05. > :28:08.opportunity where the people can really vote on a whole range of
:28:09. > :28:11.changes, different ways of doing things and different taxation
:28:12. > :28:14.systems, I would like to see VAT scrapped and replaced with a local
:28:15. > :28:20.sales tax. There is all sorts of things that we can do. But we need
:28:21. > :28:24.now to get that Brexit decision fully threw and we can start
:28:25. > :28:30.changing the country. It is a time to be optimist k and forward
:28:31. > :28:37.looking. I want to play you a clip with John
:28:38. > :28:40.Rhys Evans. This is what he told the Daily Politics yesterday.
:28:41. > :28:42.You were strongly criticised for the way you were asked
:28:43. > :28:44.to respond to a claim made by another Ukip candidate,
:28:45. > :28:47.this was in the run-up to the general election,
:28:48. > :28:48.that some homosexuals prefer sex with animals.
:28:49. > :28:51.You did say by talking about how a gay donkey tried
:28:52. > :28:57.Do you know, Jo, it's interesting what you are trying to do
:28:58. > :29:00.because I am trying to tell you my serious vision for Ukip
:29:01. > :29:04.It was playful banter with a mischievous activist.
:29:05. > :29:07.I concede it was a mistake to be playful with an activist
:29:08. > :29:13.The guy was just asking questions in the street.
:29:14. > :29:17.I was very early coming into politics and I am sorry
:29:18. > :29:24.if I offended anybody by doing that, but, please, can we move on?
:29:25. > :29:36.What do you think of that? Well, I don't know Mr Evans. It sounds like
:29:37. > :29:41.when you put him on-the-spot he tried to be honest. He should follow
:29:42. > :29:44.my advice and my example and withdraw as the other candidates
:29:45. > :29:49.should, from this race and let us get behind Paul Nuttall and let's
:29:50. > :29:53.not give anymore hostages to fortune and saying silly things like that
:29:54. > :29:56.that people can use against the whole party. I would like to think
:29:57. > :30:00.it was a foolish attempt at a joke that went wrong, but it was
:30:01. > :30:04.ill-advised and a pretty stupid thing to say. We're expecting
:30:05. > :30:09.Heathrow to get the green light, would you back that?
:30:10. > :30:14.Yeah. I mean, I feel for the local residents. Obviously, as all of us
:30:15. > :30:18.must do, it will be a situation where people will lose their homes
:30:19. > :30:22.and life is going to become difficult, but for the greater good
:30:23. > :30:26.of the economy we do need to be open for business and we need airport
:30:27. > :30:30.expansion. It is a really positive and optimistic thing. I would like
:30:31. > :30:34.to see the Government talking about expansion across the country and not
:30:35. > :30:37.just Heathrow. Let's look at really boosting and booming as a country.
:30:38. > :30:41.We've got a bright future ahead of us and this is one way we can really
:30:42. > :30:43.make an impact on the world scene. Great on him. Good decision, let's
:30:44. > :31:00.crack on with it. We are seeing Calais. We used to
:31:01. > :31:05.have Sangatte in Calais and now we have got this place. What are your
:31:06. > :31:09.thoughts? When I went out there, I spoke to quite a few of the people
:31:10. > :31:15.there. First of all, they were living in conditions that were
:31:16. > :31:19.appalling, absolutely appalling. It can't be tolerated in the 21st
:31:20. > :31:23.century in civilised society. But not just that, every one of them
:31:24. > :31:26.that I spoke to, I said is there a problem in France, is there
:31:27. > :31:29.something you are kneeing from, is there some reason why you want to go
:31:30. > :31:33.to the UK and every one of them said it was for economic reasons. That
:31:34. > :31:37.unfortunately is not acceptable. The French Government have got to, not
:31:38. > :31:41.just clear the camps, but process the people who're there. Let's find
:31:42. > :31:45.out who they are. Are they genuine asylum seekers? If so, we should
:31:46. > :31:50.table our fair share and they should be given asylum. If they are simply
:31:51. > :31:54.trying to advance themselves economically by coming to the UK for
:31:55. > :31:57.better benefits systems or whatever it may be, I'm afraid that's not
:31:58. > :32:00.within the current rules of our immigration system and can't be
:32:01. > :32:03.allowed. So the French Government have to take responsibility. It's on
:32:04. > :32:11.their soil after all. Thank you very much for your time

:35:49. > :35:53.taking place. Norman. Yes, it looks like it's Heathrow a
:35:54. > :35:56.go-go. We don't know which of the Heathrow options because there are
:35:57. > :35:59.obviously two of them, building a third runway or extending the
:36:00. > :36:02.existing north runway but I think most of the indications are it will
:36:03. > :36:06.be a green light for that third runway which has been the preferred
:36:07. > :36:11.option of successive Governments, it's what the independent Davis
:36:12. > :36:15.Commission recommended and significantly remember this, Theresa
:36:16. > :36:19.May has licensed a bit of Cabinet dissent. She wouldn't have to do
:36:20. > :36:23.that for Gatwick because there isn't really any Cabinet dissent over

:36:32. > :36:35.opposition, Boris Johnson talked about lying down in front of the
:36:36. > :36:41.bulldozers, so it looks definite now that when Chris Grayling gets up in
:36:42. > :36:44.the Commons about 12. 30, he'll formally announce that the
:36:45. > :36:48.Government is at long last going to give the go-ahead to Heathrow. Let's
:36:49. > :36:51.go to Heathrow and our Transport Correspondent Richard Westcott.
:36:52. > :36:55.Looks like they've won? Yes. We haven't spoken to the boss
:36:56. > :36:59.yet. I think they have been pretty confident that they were going to
:37:00. > :37:02.win for some time. We have all been basically thinking the Government's
:37:03. > :37:06.going to pick this Heathrow option. You heard Norman say we think it's
:37:07. > :37:11.the third runway. There were two Heathrow options on the table, one
:37:12. > :37:15.was a private bid, not from the airport, which involved doubling the
:37:16. > :37:18.length of the runway and the other is a separate third runway which
:37:19. > :37:25.would be way over the north in the distance. It looks like the official
:37:26. > :37:29.bid is the one they'll pick, the one that brings the most jobs and
:37:30. > :37:32.economy and it's also the most controversial but it looks like that
:37:33. > :37:40.is what the Government has gone for. Still a long way to go, of course.
:37:41. > :37:43.Let's talk to the campaign coordinator for Stop Heathrow
:37:44. > :37:50.Expansion. Hi, there. That is the resident-led
:37:51. > :37:54.organisation that opposed Heathrow. Also a resident in Harmondsworth
:37:55. > :38:00.whose house is in the demolition zone if Heathrow gets the green
:38:01. > :38:02.light and Neil's family have also lives in the village for
:38:03. > :38:08.generations. Thank you all for talking to us. Rob, your reaction
:38:09. > :38:14.that it looks like Heathrow has won? Well, it may look like the
:38:15. > :38:16.Government's going for expansion at Heathrow Airport but let's not
:38:17. > :38:23.forget that we have been here before. The Governments in 2009
:38:24. > :38:26.supported the third runway at Heathrow and that proposal was
:38:27. > :38:30.successfully challenged in the High Court so that is the precedent
:38:31. > :38:40.that's been set and I'm sure that will happen again. And is that what
:38:41. > :38:45.you are banking on do you think? Yes, I am, we won last time and I'm
:38:46. > :38:47.sure we'll win again. We can't underestimate the stress this is
:38:48. > :38:52.causing residents for many, many years. My home is blighted, I will
:38:53. > :38:57.lose my home, I will lose my family home and my community and I think
:38:58. > :38:59.there needs to be more empathy and understanding from people about the
:39:00. > :39:07.impact this is having on villages. Yes. That is a really good point.
:39:08. > :39:11.There are some people who say well if you live there you are going to
:39:12. > :39:17.live in the flight path and they have very little sympathy, it has to
:39:18. > :39:22.be said? I've lived here since the mid 70s, I lived in Longed for which
:39:23. > :39:27.was beautiful and that's sited for demolition as well. I moved to
:39:28. > :39:31.Harmondsworth in 1987. At that time there was no talk about demolishing
:39:32. > :39:38.Harmondsworth village and other people have moved into the villages,
:39:39. > :39:43.many moved in after the promise of the fifth terminal of no third
:39:44. > :39:46.runway, people accepted the word of Heathrow which has been prove tonne
:39:47. > :39:49.be lies. Neil, we can obviously hear the
:39:50. > :39:53.planes which you put up with a lot of the time. Is your own home
:39:54. > :40:00.blighted, would you be forced to move, what would be your situation?
:40:01. > :40:04.My home will be 54 paces from the new boundary fence, it will be
:40:05. > :40:10.impossible to live there, I'll be included in the 4500 homes that will
:40:11. > :40:15.be a terrible place to live. I wonder what happens to our Prime
:40:16. > :40:19.Ministers when they get into power? Historically Theresa May's been
:40:20. > :40:24.opposed to a third runway. The people in Maidenhead on new flight
:40:25. > :40:28.paths now elected to be on a position of a third runway. We had a
:40:29. > :40:32.Conservative promise, no ifs no buts no third runway and we made life
:40:33. > :40:36.decisions based on that, where to send children to school, where to
:40:37. > :40:42.lay loved ones to rest, how much to invest in a property. Heathrow
:40:43. > :40:46.affects more people than five of the key European aeroplanes combined. It
:40:47. > :40:51.will have a noise envelope of one million people. The people deserve a
:40:52. > :40:54.quality of life, it's not all about money, we deserve a quality of life
:40:55. > :40:59.and there are serious health issues with living on the flight paths. 460
:41:00. > :41:05.schools will be on the flight paths. So you put your faith in politicians
:41:06. > :41:10.and they let you down, you say? They have let us down. The thing is, it's
:41:11. > :41:14.a terrible thing for democracy, terrible thing for Theresa May in
:41:15. > :41:17.actual fact because we believed Theresa May when she stood outside
:41:18. > :41:21.Downing Street and said she'd act, not for the mighty but for the few.
:41:22. > :41:25.She pointed at a TV screen, I took that as being me and my community
:41:26. > :41:29.and I was very optimistic with Theresa May, now I think she's no
:41:30. > :41:37.better than all the other politicians before and David Cameron
:41:38. > :41:41.was pretty much a liar and I think she has has betrayed us and the
:41:42. > :41:48.people of Maidenhead. Thank you very much all of you for speaking to
:41:49. > :41:51.passionately, Neil, Rob and Elish. Carole Walker is at a protest
:41:52. > :41:56.opposite Downing Street right now. High, Carole.
:41:57. > :42:00.Hello, Victoria. As the Cabinet are meeting in Downing Street, we are
:42:01. > :42:05.hearing they are going to go ahead and recommend another runway at
:42:06. > :42:09.Heathrow, opposite this we have got a group of Liberal Democrats who're
:42:10. > :42:14.protesting at the decision and I'm joined now by Suzanne Kraymer who
:42:15. > :42:18.speaks for the party in the Lord's and by Wes Streeting for Labour.
:42:19. > :42:25.Suzanne, what is the point of the demo? It's to get our message over.
:42:26. > :42:28.We have fought against this third runway at Heathrow for over 20
:42:29. > :42:32.years, it's the wrong decision for London, it's wrong for business but
:42:33. > :42:36.air pollution, noise, congestion, nobody has an answer as to how we
:42:37. > :42:39.can get more people to the airport and this decision needs to be
:42:40. > :42:44.stopped in its tracks. The Cabinet needs to know. It may be able to
:42:45. > :42:50.steam roller a Boris Johnson, but it's certainly not going to be steam
:42:51. > :43:00.rollering us. We are fighting this. Wes Streeting for Labour, the
:43:01. > :43:07.leadership of your party, John McDonnell and Jeremy Corbyn, what
:43:08. > :43:09.are your thoughts? Some of my colleagues have a strong
:43:10. > :43:15.constituency interest and you would expect them to fight the corner. As
:43:16. > :43:20.an East London Essex MP, there are huge benefits to Heathrow in terms
:43:21. > :43:25.of jobs, accessibility for my constituents, but most importantly,
:43:26. > :43:31.we have seen dither and delay on airport capacity. So many of my
:43:32. > :43:34.colleagues from the north of England, Wales and Scotland, from
:43:35. > :43:40.right across the country, are looking for Heathrow, because as a
:43:41. > :43:43.hub airport, it would bring significant benefits for the UK. We
:43:44. > :43:50.know this has been a very long awaited decision. There have been
:43:51. > :43:58.endless reviews and so on. There are still going to be -- there's still
:43:59. > :44:04.going to be a lot of time to go. Do you think there's going to A reverse
:44:05. > :44:07.of the decision? We have heard from from Governments before and when
:44:08. > :44:10.they get into the detail they find the disadvantages. It's not just the
:44:11. > :44:14.extraordinary cost of building Heathrow because it's in the middle
:44:15. > :44:18.of a huge residential area, they find they can't get people to the
:44:19. > :44:22.airport, it's always falling apart over that, they can't get planning
:44:23. > :44:26.permission, they find themselves in the port because they fail on things
:44:27. > :44:30.like air pollution, so this is going to be a long fight. That's it. We
:44:31. > :44:34.are certainly not going to give up. When you have a wrong decision, very
:44:35. > :44:38.usually in the end, the project doesn't happen.
:44:39. > :44:42.Very briefly, Wes, your party's official position is, you have got
:44:43. > :44:46.four tests that have got to be met. Do you think there is a danger your
:44:47. > :44:52.party is seen as fudging theish you? I'm confident that our four tests
:44:53. > :44:55.are met by Heathrow. That with does conclusion of Labour's backbench
:44:56. > :44:58.Transport Committee. My colleagues who have constituency difficulties
:44:59. > :45:01.should be able to stand up for their constituencies but I think it's also
:45:02. > :45:04.important to recognise the majority of Labour MPs do see Heathrow as the
:45:05. > :45:07.right option for the UK and certainly that's where my vote will
:45:08. > :45:13.be going, I suspect many of my colleagues as well. Wes and Susan,
:45:14. > :45:17.thank you both very much indeed. Small but vocal protest going on and
:45:18. > :45:19.we are expecting to hear from the Transport Secretary in less than a
:45:20. > :45:32.couple of hours from now. The jury in the trial of a British
:45:33. > :45:35.investment banker accused of murdering two Indonesian women
:45:36. > :45:37.in his Hong Kong flat have been shown a video he filmed whilst
:45:38. > :45:40.allegedly sexually assaulting Let's speak to our correspondent
:45:41. > :45:57.Danny Vincent, who's in Hong Kong. Tell us what the video shows? Hong
:45:58. > :46:01.Kong is considered one of the safest cities in the world and many here
:46:02. > :46:06.are shocked by the graphic nature of this alleged crime. At the centre of
:46:07. > :46:09.it, there is a man, a British Government banker called Rurik
:46:10. > :46:13.Jutting, a 31-year-old Cambridge educated banker. He has been living
:46:14. > :46:19.here for a number of years and two years ago, almost to the day, he has
:46:20. > :46:23.been accused of murdering two Indonesian sex workers. Today, in
:46:24. > :46:28.court, the jury and the public were shown a number of different videos
:46:29. > :46:34.shot by Rurik Jutting. The first one was not shown to the public, but the
:46:35. > :46:40.jurors were able to see it and essentially Rurik Jutting describes
:46:41. > :46:46.some of the acts that he was carrying out to his first victim.
:46:47. > :46:52.The second video shown to the public was somewhat of a video selfie. It
:46:53. > :46:56.showed Mr Jutting explaining what he had done. He explained in graphic
:46:57. > :47:00.language the torture that he carried out on the victim. He went on to
:47:01. > :47:08.explain the type of violence that he used. His use of drugs and his
:47:09. > :47:15.lifestyle in Hong Kong as well as his motivations for committing an
:47:16. > :47:20.act like this And Rurik Jutting has pleaded guilty to manslaughter, but
:47:21. > :47:27.it was rejected by the prosecution? That's correct. Yesterday in court,
:47:28. > :47:32.he pleaded not guilty to murder on two counts. Decided to plead guilt
:47:33. > :47:40.crisis to manslaughter however in the video we saw in the court today
:47:41. > :47:50.he uses the word "Murder." He goes on, he films on his iPhone and he
:47:51. > :47:53.says, "My name is Rurik Jutting Mr Jutting and I committed murder." His
:47:54. > :47:57.barristers will need to put the case, they will have to argue
:47:58. > :48:01.strongly to get this charge taken down to manslaughter.
:48:02. > :48:05.Thank you very much. Danny Vincent reporting from Hong
:48:06. > :48:09.Kong. This e-mail from Paul and it is
:48:10. > :48:14.about the Heathrow decision, "Right decision at last for whingers
:48:15. > :48:21.listening in. I have a three bed semi north of Nottingham. I would
:48:22. > :48:23.jump at the exchange of somebody nifg near Heathrow Airport with good
:48:24. > :48:27.views of the aircraft." It's not very often that politicians
:48:28. > :48:30.provide us with moments of laughter, but here's something
:48:31. > :48:32.that is guaranteed to make Labour MP Helen Goodman asking
:48:33. > :48:36.a question yesterday in the house of commons about the implications
:48:37. > :48:38.of Brexit for birds trying Light pollution isn't just
:48:39. > :48:41.a problem for people wanting It's also a problem
:48:42. > :48:45.for birds who get confused about when they should begin
:48:46. > :48:47.the dawn chorus. They sing for so long
:48:48. > :48:49.that they don't have any I am sure the minister will
:48:50. > :48:53.understand why this is a problem... I wish to hear the honourable lady
:48:54. > :49:26.at such point as she has had the opportunity to regain
:49:27. > :49:28.the necessary composure. Brexit does give
:49:29. > :49:32.the opportunity... ...for us to control procurement,
:49:33. > :49:37.so when the minister is talking to local authorities about what kind
:49:38. > :49:40.of LED lighting to purchase, will he encourage them to buy lights
:49:41. > :49:43.from Thorns in Spennymoor I still can't work out
:49:44. > :50:00.what the MP shouting out "A contemptuous term applied
:50:01. > :50:10.to a type of young woman, supposedly to be found in and around
:50:11. > :50:13.Essex, and variously characterized as unintelligent,
:50:14. > :50:18.promiscuous, and materialistic." That is the official dictionary
:50:19. > :50:21.definition of an "Essex girl", but now a group of women from Essex
:50:22. > :50:31.are campaigning to get it removed. Natalie Collins from
:50:32. > :50:38.the Essex Feminist Collective. Grace Andrews, she's a former star
:50:39. > :50:46.of The Only Way Is Essex. Natalie, why do you want it out of
:50:47. > :50:53.the dictionary? Hello. Good morning. Good morning. Think partly because
:50:54. > :50:58.it is obis a let. There is so many different types of women in Essex.
:50:59. > :51:02.It is so sexist and one of the definitions about it being a working
:51:03. > :51:06.class woman. We are beyond the point where this is appropriate or
:51:07. > :51:12.acceptable to kind of den owe grate an entire sex of people from the
:51:13. > :51:16.Essex really. I've got a 13-year-old daughter. I don't want her growing
:51:17. > :51:21.up thinking this is the expectation for her life living in Essex and
:51:22. > :51:29.that's isn't what I hope she thinks her identity is. No one takes it
:51:30. > :51:35.seriously, do they? It is a joke. I don't think it is a joke. We moved
:51:36. > :51:39.to Essex, it was like oh she is going to be an Essex girl and it
:51:40. > :51:43.maybe tongue in cheek, but the experience of that maybe for women
:51:44. > :51:50.from Essex is it is harder for them to get jobs. To have an Essex
:51:51. > :51:54.accent, they may go for a job interview and fail to get the job
:51:55. > :51:59.because the prejudice gets in the way of that. We know that's the
:52:00. > :52:06.case. Blond women. I used to have long hair. So it does have a knock
:52:07. > :52:09.on effect to the real things that affect women's lives even if that's
:52:10. > :52:21.not the intention in this language in the first place.
:52:22. > :52:30.It is actually sometimes it can be an advantage being an Essex girl. An
:52:31. > :52:36.Essex girl is a stigma. Probably something that you know, my parents,
:52:37. > :52:40.grandparents, all come from Essex, probably something like that that
:52:41. > :52:44.was a stigma all those years ago and yeah, I'm proud to be an Essex girl,
:52:45. > :52:48.why not? Essex is a beautiful county. It is not just about the
:52:49. > :52:53.people that live there. You want to have a look at the area around
:52:54. > :53:05.Essex. Yeah, we have got blond hair and we dance around our handbags in
:53:06. > :53:11.the disco in the 80s, but hey ho. There were a few northerners did
:53:12. > :53:16.that as well. Helen, good morning, are you from Essex or live there
:53:17. > :53:21.now? I was born in Romford. What do you think of the idea from Natalie
:53:22. > :53:25.that the term, "Essex girl" Should be taken out of the dictionary? I
:53:26. > :53:37.can't believe it is in the dictionary.
:53:38. > :53:48.Why would I have an issue with it? It is said in such derogatory terms?
:53:49. > :53:51.I've never had it used in a derogatory way. I would probably
:53:52. > :53:57.laugh it off. People will take the mickey out of you about something
:53:58. > :54:01.from wherever you are. If you're from Yorkshire, they will call you a
:54:02. > :54:07.Yorkshire lass. Do you take that Natalie? Depending on which county
:54:08. > :54:18.you're from and I have had from Lancashire. Is it not just the same
:54:19. > :54:21.with Essex? This is a gender stereotype. It is not just about
:54:22. > :54:26.wearing certain hats or liking certain animals. This is about being
:54:27. > :54:30.promiscuous. This is about being unintelligent. These are not
:54:31. > :54:38.pleasant descriptors of people. There is a question about when
:54:39. > :54:42.something in a dictionary does that give validity to it? What we need to
:54:43. > :54:51.do, we need to be questioning this and saying, "Is this really the
:54:52. > :54:56.truth?" The woman who was on before said she was really proud of Essex.
:54:57. > :55:01.It doesn't describe the women I've met in Essex and doesn't describe
:55:02. > :55:05.Essex as a whole. There are lots of television programmes and other
:55:06. > :55:13.entities that are taking advantage and capitalising on this. The Only
:55:14. > :55:18.Way Of Etion setion reinforces that women in Essex are perceived and are
:55:19. > :55:20.actually a certain way and I think that's really dangerous and
:55:21. > :55:24.inappropriate and a bad thing for young women and young girls to think
:55:25. > :55:30.that's what I should aspire for and that's what I should want.
:55:31. > :55:34.Let me bring in Grace Andrews. Dangerous and inappropriate the kind
:55:35. > :55:36.of stereotype that you have been perpetuating on that programme
:55:37. > :55:45.according to Natalie? Yes, definitely. It is just totally
:55:46. > :55:51.untrue. It is not very nice to be perceived as unintelligent if you
:55:52. > :55:56.are from Essex. I think that in all different areas, there is, you know,
:55:57. > :55:59.different people, they say that we are merelistic. Well, there are
:56:00. > :56:02.people who are materialistic anywhere in the world and then there
:56:03. > :56:10.is people that aren't so materialistic. To say that it is
:56:11. > :56:15.just Essex is not right at all and I really disagree. Would you back this
:56:16. > :56:20.move then by Natalie from the Essex feminist collective to get it taken
:56:21. > :56:27.out of the dictionary? 100 million percent! Definitely!
:56:28. > :56:34.There is no question about it. Natalie, 100 million percent! I'm
:56:35. > :56:37.pleased about that! LAUGHTER
:56:38. > :56:44.Go on, Lynn, what do you want to say? That's not fair! I want it to
:56:45. > :56:54.stay in there! Listen, it doesn't matter where you come from or who
:56:55. > :57:02.you are, I'm proud to be an Essex girl rather that than be a Chelsea
:57:03. > :57:08.bun! It is just to do with what they're
:57:09. > :57:15.saying, this is Essex. No it is not, you get it everywhere you go. So,
:57:16. > :57:24.why just because you're from Essex are you not intelligent? That
:57:25. > :57:28.doesn't make sense. Back to the war when we wasn't intelligent. It is
:57:29. > :57:35.part of our heritage. Be proud girls. I'm not proud of the
:57:36. > :57:37.definition that living in Essex makes me unintelligent and
:57:38. > :57:41.promiscuous and that's a bad thing A, because I am a woman, if it was a
:57:42. > :57:48.man and he was promiscuous, it would be fine. There is a problem with the
:57:49. > :57:53.dictionary definition means there is something wrong with you and you're
:57:54. > :57:59.unintelligent, stupid, super fshal, that's a problem. Yes, I think
:58:00. > :58:05.that's what the problem is. My father and his side are from Essex.
:58:06. > :58:10.My hum however grew up in Is laning tonne and moved to Hertfordshire, if
:58:11. > :58:16.I say I'm from Hertfordshire, you get a different response to hi, I'm
:58:17. > :58:20.Grace from Essex. There is no bad thing of being proud from Essex
:58:21. > :58:30.because that doesn't come into it. All right Thank you very much,
:58:31. > :58:33.ladies. Helen, Lynn, Natalie, and Grace.
