:00:12. > :00:16.Good evening and welcome. The chaos at Gatwick on Christmas Eve should

:00:17. > :00:21.be "a wake up call for all airports across the UK". More than 11,000

:00:22. > :00:25.passengers were affected by delays and cancellations because of a power

:00:26. > :00:28.failure. Today the Transport Select Committee says there was "confusion"

:00:29. > :00:37.and a "lack of information" at the airport. Our transport correspondent

:00:38. > :00:42.Tom Edwards has the story. Gatwick this morning and families

:00:43. > :00:49.jetting off for the Easter break and so far, nothing unusual. The queues,

:00:50. > :00:55.I think, and the procedures, but the airport seems OK. It's evident from

:00:56. > :01:00.past errors, listen to the public. We've never had an issue. Nothing

:01:01. > :01:04.disastrous has ever happened. I think they do quite well on the

:01:05. > :01:09.whole. We try to deal with this calmly. We know there are people who

:01:10. > :01:12.have been here over seven hours. This was Christmas Eve, when more

:01:13. > :01:17.than 11,000 travellers were affected by long delays and cancellations.

:01:18. > :01:22.Eventually, police had to ask airline staff to leave baggage

:01:23. > :01:26.reclaim for their own safety. Not everyone got home for Christmas. We

:01:27. > :01:30.have been here since ten past nine, and we found out our flight was

:01:31. > :01:35.cancelled because of the work we have done. A lot of flights have

:01:36. > :01:40.been cancelled. I am trying to remain positive. Hoping I will get

:01:41. > :01:43.home. The problems were caused by a river bursting its banks, which

:01:44. > :01:48.knocked out power in the North terminal. As it was Christmas Eve,

:01:49. > :01:51.the airport tried to avoid more cancellations by moving flights to

:01:52. > :01:56.the South terminal. That had never been done before. There were only

:01:57. > :02:01.four buses to transfer passengers. Today's report found there was a

:02:02. > :02:07.lack of information and a lack of clarity about who was in charge and

:02:08. > :02:12.there was confusion over compensation. Incidentally, Gatwick

:02:13. > :02:14.have said they would never try the same thing again. Transport Select

:02:15. > :02:20.Committee says the incident should serve as a wake`up call to every

:02:21. > :02:25.airport in the UK. Passengers simply didn't know what was happening, that

:02:26. > :02:29.is because there was not a proper contingency plan. That must never

:02:30. > :02:32.happen again. There should be a proper contingency plan put together

:02:33. > :02:36.by the airport, the airlines and all those involved in the airport, so

:02:37. > :02:43.that passengers welfare is put first. That did not happen on

:02:44. > :02:46.Christmas Eve. Gatwick says it is spending ?30 million strengthening

:02:47. > :02:51.its flood defences and improving its contingency plans. To make sure the

:02:52. > :02:53.same thing does not happen again. Four men are beginning life

:02:54. > :02:56.sentences for the murder of an innocent sales assistant who was

:02:57. > :03:00.caught up in a bloodthirsty feud between two Turkish gangs in north

:03:01. > :03:06.London. 21`year`old Cem Duzgan was shot eleven times as he played pool

:03:07. > :03:17.with friends in 2009. Chris Rogers joins me with more details.

:03:18. > :03:21.Is Cem Duzgan was playing with friends at a Turkish social club in

:03:22. > :03:26.Hackney, a Turkish gang had been holding a so`called Council of War

:03:27. > :03:29.meeting with members at the Pound shop on Tottenham High Road. They

:03:30. > :03:37.were planning a revenge attack on a rival gang. That night, the gunman,

:03:38. > :03:41.Blaize Lunkula, 28, walked into the club and shot Cem Duzgan 11 times

:03:42. > :03:49.with a submachine gun at close range. He was told he would serve at

:03:50. > :03:52.least 35 years. Three other men, Yusuf Arslan, Ndombasi Makusu and

:03:53. > :03:56.Christian Barabutu were also sentenced for life after being

:03:57. > :04:01.convicted of murder. It is a horrifying case, more horrifying

:04:02. > :04:08.because Cem Duzgan was killed in a mistake of mistaken identity. He was

:04:09. > :04:10.caught between two rival gangs, the Hackney Turks and the Tottenham

:04:11. > :04:13.Turks. Courts across the country will go

:04:14. > :04:16.digital in two years after a successful pilot of a paperless

:04:17. > :04:20.system at Bromley Magistrates. Ministers say it's helped speed up

:04:21. > :04:29.criminal cases and save money. Sarah Harris reports.

:04:30. > :04:31.This is CCTV footage. This is just a demonstration, but Bromley

:04:32. > :04:34.Magistrates Court have been leading the way, showing that by doing away

:04:35. > :04:39.with bundles of paper and embracing new technology, the justice system

:04:40. > :04:43.is more efficient. The policing minister came to see for himself.

:04:44. > :04:46.He's been so impressed by the feedback here he's pledged ?75

:04:47. > :04:54.million a year to make sure courts across the UK are operating

:04:55. > :05:00.completely digitally by 2016. The magistrates say it's transformed the

:05:01. > :05:05.way they can operate. It means that fewer cases collapse on the day. It

:05:06. > :05:13.means because they can interview witnesses remotely, more witnesses

:05:14. > :05:17.turn up they get better results. Body cameras already in use in the

:05:18. > :05:23.USA are about to be piloted by the Met here, with 500 devices being

:05:24. > :05:26.used to collect evidence. It's all costing millions of pounds up front,

:05:27. > :05:34.but it's expected to save money in the long run. We reckon we will be

:05:35. > :05:37.able to generate around ?500,000. A quarter of that will go into

:05:38. > :05:40.technology in the next couple of years, so we're funding that to

:05:41. > :05:44.ensure the police are able to fight crime in a way that is fitting in

:05:45. > :05:47.the 21st century rather than the 19th century. But not everyone is

:05:48. > :05:49.convinced all this technology will be secure. Alistair Ewing

:05:50. > :05:54.investigates computer hacking from his London bureau. It's possible

:05:55. > :06:01.people could sell their services such as organised crime to hack in

:06:02. > :06:05.and try and get these details. Hacking into a top government

:06:06. > :06:08.computer would be very difficult. It's very important the government

:06:09. > :06:14.implement the system correctly first time round, to make sure the proper

:06:15. > :06:17.level of security are installed. The government insists information will

:06:18. > :06:29.be secured with time and money being saved, bringing justice into the

:06:30. > :06:33.digital age. It is good night from me and I will

:06:34. > :06:36.leave you with the weather with Sarah Keith`Lucas.

:06:37. > :06:39.It is good night from me and I will leave you with the We had fine

:06:40. > :06:43.spring sunshine today. There is more on the cards for the weekend. It is

:06:44. > :06:47.largely dry through both days. There will be some sunny spells on offer

:06:48. > :06:52.through the day tomorrow, after a chilly start. We have quite a cold

:06:53. > :06:56.night outside tonight, with light winds and clear spells. Temperatures

:06:57. > :06:59.in rural spots down to near freezing. In the middle of London,

:07:00. > :07:03.temperatures holding up at seven or eight degrees. After the chilly

:07:04. > :07:07.start of Saturday morning, plenty of sunshine on offer through the course

:07:08. > :07:12.of the morning. In the afternoon, cloud filters in and it should say

:07:13. > :07:18.`` it should stay generally dry. 14`15d. A similar day on Sunday, if

:07:19. > :07:22.you are planning on running the London Marathon. After a cold start,

:07:23. > :07:27.highs of 15 Celsius and staying generally dry. This is the outlook.

:07:28. > :07:30.Largely dry, elsewhere across the UK, Alex Deakin has the National

:07:31. > :07:40.forecast for you. Good night. Good evening. This weekend should be

:07:41. > :07:44.a little brighter than last weekend. Most of us will see spells of

:07:45. > :07:48.sunshine. Across northern Britain as well as any sunshine there will be a

:07:49. > :07:53.brisk breeze developing some rain. In the south, generally it should

:07:54. > :07:56.stay dry with spells of sunshine. In the South at the moment we have

:07:57. > :08:00.largely clear skies. Hence another cold night. Further north, the wind

:08:01. > :08:05.is increasing and the cloud bringing persistent rain across western

:08:06. > :08:09.Scotland. The breeze, rain and cloud keeping it miles. In the south

:08:10. > :08:14.again, five - six, in towns and cities. In rural areas, not far off

:08:15. > :08:18.freezing. A chilly start to the weekend. Generally sunny across the

:08:19. > :08:21.south. It will cloud over through the day but we should hang on to

:08:22. > :08:26.sunny spells across East Anglia and the south-east. The sun has got some

:08:27. > :08:30.power in it, it will start to lift the temperatures. By 9am the cloud

:08:31. > :08:36.is thickening across North Wales and north-west England. Rain will spread

:08:37. > :08:37.its way south across Scotland and Northern Ireland. There could
