:00:43. > :00:54.alliance between London gay activists and striking miners during

:00:55. > :01:12.the 80s now turned into a fhlm. Welcome to BBC London News with me,

:01:13. > :01:17.Riz Lateef. The Mayor, Boris Johnson,

:01:18. > :01:19.is insisting his vision of a new airport in the

:01:20. > :01:23.Thames Estuary is not dead `nd he's The Airports Commission has decided

:01:24. > :01:33.the multi`billion pound project is too expensive,

:01:34. > :01:34.with many environmental challenges. The Labour group

:01:35. > :01:37.at City Hall has accused thd Mayor of wasting more than ?5 million of

:01:38. > :01:40.taxpayer money on a vanity project. Karl Mercer has been speaking to

:01:41. > :01:55.Mr Johnson. The talking goes on, the Excel for

:01:56. > :01:58.the airport scheme similarlx considered to history. Game over for

:01:59. > :02:01.the Thames Estuary? On a day of interviews, we took

:02:02. > :02:05.our turn to quiz the Mayor, who s blaming civil servants in Whitehall

:02:06. > :02:08.for the demise of the Estuary scheme, saying they've alwaxs

:02:09. > :02:15.supported expansion at Heathrow They were very disappointed when

:02:16. > :02:19.Labour did that U`turn and decided not to go ahead with the thhrd

:02:20. > :02:23.runway and the transport Department and the Treasury think that is the

:02:24. > :02:29.right way forward. You say politicians have nothing to do with

:02:30. > :02:33.this? Politicians are out of step, I would agree with you. There is a

:02:34. > :02:37.complete abdication of responsibility. We in City Hall are

:02:38. > :02:43.trying to produce and have produced a valid, bold, original long`term

:02:44. > :02:46.solution that really deals with most of the issues and it delivers jobs

:02:47. > :02:52.and regeneration, it is within. It delivers nothing. Well, it would

:02:53. > :02:58.deliver those things. What we have heard from anybody passionately

:02:59. > :03:04.advocating another option... Why am I... The Prime Minister, for

:03:05. > :03:07.example? What we need to he`r is what the other solution shotld be. I

:03:08. > :03:16.do not think it is reasonable to keep going with a process that

:03:17. > :03:22.consigns this vital decision to senior civil servants, no m`tter how

:03:23. > :03:25.distinguished. The Murphy 's is more criticism from City Hall opponents.

:03:26. > :03:31.Pushing his plan has cost London's taxpayers more than ?5 millhon.

:03:32. > :03:36.Boris Johnson did not look `t any research before spending so much

:03:37. > :03:38.public money pushing the S Toure airport puzzle, it was never going

:03:39. > :03:40.to work. It's also reported that the Lib Dems

:03:41. > :03:50.will tomorrow rule out airport We have argued against expanding

:03:51. > :03:54.airport capacity in the south`east, we need to restrain airport growth

:03:55. > :03:57.and travel growth for climate change reasons.

:03:58. > :03:59.Boris Johnson was in Swindon this afternoon, campaigning

:04:00. > :04:04.He may soon be one himself, of course, in Uxbridge,

:04:05. > :04:10.For now, though, his cable car across the river in

:04:11. > :04:14.east London , known as the Dmirates airline, may be as close as he gets

:04:15. > :04:22.So what happens now there are three options on the table, and how will

:04:23. > :04:25.the people living near the `irports earmarked for expansion react?

:04:26. > :04:26.Let's find out from our Transport Correspondent,

:04:27. > :04:42.The third runway could come right through here, placards like this one

:04:43. > :04:45.have appeared this afternoon opposing that and while there has

:04:46. > :04:48.not been much surprise that the Thames Estuary has been ruldd out,

:04:49. > :04:54.it has increased the anxietx a little bit. In the villages around

:04:55. > :05:00.Heathrow, the death of the Thames Estuary airport beans they were the

:05:01. > :05:03.focus of expansion. Some colmunities feel threatened and there are mixed

:05:04. > :05:10.feelings about the airport expanding. We have lived with this

:05:11. > :05:13.fear of not knowing what is going on and they wish somebody would make a

:05:14. > :05:19.decision and let us get on with our lives. I would 100% disagred, it

:05:20. > :05:23.aside news for the residents. When people are looking for jobs these

:05:24. > :05:31.days, I think it will bring more jobs. It means that loads of people

:05:32. > :05:34.will have to move out of thd area. Those feelings or in contrast to

:05:35. > :05:39.what business leaders meeting in London want. We want politicians to

:05:40. > :05:43.make a decision as soon as possible. They want runways nine and say lack

:05:44. > :05:47.of capacity is restricting trade. They want runways nine and say lack

:05:48. > :05:53.of capacity is We need extr` capacity now, tomorrow would not be

:05:54. > :05:57.too soon. I am pleased that Davis is focusing on what is deliver`ble in a

:05:58. > :06:02.realistic time frame. My colpetitors in Holland and Germany have better

:06:03. > :06:08.access to some aspects of the Chinese market than I have. And it

:06:09. > :06:12.is getting worse. At the molent we're talking about one runway, I

:06:13. > :06:17.think capacity as for two of them by 2013. And that is really wh`t the

:06:18. > :06:20.economy needs. A government commission will recommend the

:06:21. > :06:25.location of one runway next summer. On the short list, a new runway at

:06:26. > :06:30.Heathrow to the north`west that could extend over the M25, or

:06:31. > :06:33.another option is to extend the existing runway to allow take`offs

:06:34. > :06:38.and landings at the same tile. The third option is for another runway

:06:39. > :06:46.at Gatwick. We have a fight on our hands. The conservation campaign has

:06:47. > :06:52.existed for 40 years and we have defeated three previous attdmpts and

:06:53. > :06:53.we can defeat this one also. By the Mayor has called the commission

:06:54. > :06:58.making the recommendation are relevant, business groups still have

:06:59. > :07:02.faith in the process. I think it is ridiculous, just because ond

:07:03. > :07:07.politician has not got their project through that suddenly the commission

:07:08. > :07:10.is doing something wrong. All the parties have backed this colmission,

:07:11. > :07:13.they are going through a tortuous process of going through evhdence

:07:14. > :07:18.and they absolutely have to respect that. The death of the estu`ry

:07:19. > :07:23.airport has focused the minds of those who live next to London's

:07:24. > :07:30.airports. This is another ttrn in a long politically problematic

:07:31. > :07:33.aviation debate. I have read this report and it is very dismissive of

:07:34. > :07:38.the Tech three airport and one could still out. It says it well the

:07:39. > :07:43.recogniser need for a hub ahrport IQ through, we believe there should be

:07:44. > :07:46.part of an effective system of competing airports. To meet the

:07:47. > :07:51.needs of a widely spread and diverse market like London. Reading between

:07:52. > :07:58.the lines, perhaps they mean a stronger Gatwick. Tom, thank you.

:07:59. > :08:00.We can talk to the Mayor's aviation advisor, Daniel

:08:01. > :08:18.Tom alluded to that, expanshon is at Heathrow or Gatwick but you are

:08:19. > :08:22.flying the flag for the Thales Estuary. It doesn't have business

:08:23. > :08:26.environment backing and there is no money for it but you are positive?

:08:27. > :08:31.Yes, because it is right answer and I think it is because Howard Davies

:08:32. > :08:34.is asking himself the questhon which is set for self, not by the

:08:35. > :08:39.government, which is, where can you get three kilometres of tarlac in

:08:40. > :08:45.the hope that nobody notices? What Boris is looking at is a city

:08:46. > :08:50.growing from 8.3 two 10 million people with the need for holes and

:08:51. > :08:53.jobs and larger mass of devdlopment and housing in the east and

:08:54. > :08:55.insufficient employment and the opportunities that arise from

:08:56. > :08:59.relocating the airport, you solve the aviation problems and even

:09:00. > :09:02.Howard Davies admitted that and the opportunities you get from

:09:03. > :09:07.relocating that and the way it can allow the city to grow is hhs job.

:09:08. > :09:11.And he will carry on backing that. But this commission, which had

:09:12. > :09:15.cross`party backing, has spdnt nine months looking at it and it has come

:09:16. > :09:22.back and says it is not a vhable option. Why not put that to bed Is

:09:23. > :09:27.this not just sour grapes? No, this is the right option and are a series

:09:28. > :09:31.of challenges, Howard Davies did not identify any challenge as bding a

:09:32. > :09:37.show stopper, he just said hn a rather pathetic and bureaucratic way

:09:38. > :09:44.that it is too complicated. So his answer is wrong? It is not the

:09:45. > :09:46.answer you wanted? He has got himself into this rabbit hole of

:09:47. > :09:51.representing or offering to present two different options, one of which

:09:52. > :09:54.politically undeliverable, we have seen that at Heathrow, and Gatwick

:09:55. > :09:59.would mean that unlike any other country, we had deliberatelx turned

:10:00. > :10:03.our back and having a hub ahrport, probably for the rest of thhs

:10:04. > :10:08.century. Howard Davies is wrong wrong not caused Oris disagrees He

:10:09. > :10:13.is asking the wrong questions and coming up this in an excesshvely

:10:14. > :10:16.aquatic way. How do you respond to a business group where ironist

:10:17. > :10:22.Valentine says just because one balance `` one politician h`s not

:10:23. > :10:25.get his way means the commission is doing something wrong. Are xou

:10:26. > :10:30.criticising the commission because you did not get the answer xou

:10:31. > :10:33.wanted? No, I would agree, ht is not because the Boris disagrees with the

:10:34. > :10:37.commission, it is because they have asked the wrong question. This will

:10:38. > :10:41.ultimately be a political ddcision and it is a decision to be lade by

:10:42. > :10:46.government. And I am confiddnt that are Howard Davies says, he will be

:10:47. > :10:50.relevant if he comes up with an answer like Heathrow expanshon,

:10:51. > :10:55.which is politically undeliverable. So today the idea has been rejected,

:10:56. > :11:00.not on the short list, what are you and the Mayor going to do about

:11:01. > :11:03.this? We will carry on camp`igning. It is right solution for London and

:11:04. > :11:10.it addresses the and challenges that London faces. It is easy to see

:11:11. > :11:12.other politicians, Val Short cross and others, on television and none

:11:13. > :11:17.of them have any solution. Stephen Knight from the Lib Dems has a

:11:18. > :11:22.solution... Would you consider any legal challenge? Nobody has ruled

:11:23. > :11:28.out any option but that is not the first focus. You are not ruling that

:11:29. > :11:30.I'd? Nobody rules out any option. We must leave it there. Thank xou for

:11:31. > :11:33.your time. New Scotland Yard goes

:11:34. > :11:50.on the market. In this Bloomsbury book shop was the

:11:51. > :11:56.central hub for a significant part of British social history. The

:12:10. > :12:12.A man has been found guilty of sending abusive messages to

:12:13. > :12:15.Peter Nunn branded Stella Creasy a witch and re`tweeted

:12:16. > :12:20.He claimed he was trying to provoke debate on the social networking site

:12:21. > :12:26.Katharine Carpenter was in court and joins us now with more details

:12:27. > :12:35.This began last summer just after a successful campaign to get ` famous

:12:41. > :12:44.campaigner Caroline prayers where two of those people behind the

:12:45. > :12:48.campaign but it left them exposed to a series of abusive tweets on the

:12:49. > :12:54.social networking site, Twitter Among those sending messages was

:12:55. > :13:04.33`year`old Peter Nunn, a f`ther from Bristol and a prolific blogger.

:13:05. > :13:08.What did he say in these messages? Much of the contact is too graphic

:13:09. > :13:13.to describe here. He called Stella Creasy a wedge and described how you

:13:14. > :13:16.might rape `` hug you might rape a witch and he reach tweeted `

:13:17. > :13:24.specific rape threat aimed `t Stella Creasy. He said that he also had

:13:25. > :13:27.been the victim of abuse on Twitter and said that radical feminhsts had

:13:28. > :13:32.been abusing him, trying to close his account. He said he did not

:13:33. > :13:38.realise that he had offended anyone. The prosecution were not buxing

:13:39. > :13:41.that, they said that this w`s a game about just how far you could take

:13:42. > :13:46.things. The judge was very dismissive of his evidence `nd she

:13:47. > :13:50.said it was bizarre and self`deluded and she found him guilty. Today

:13:51. > :13:57.Peter Nunn told me he was vdry disappointed with Patrick. H think

:13:58. > :14:00.it is a dark day for free speech. I will use a time to consider my

:14:01. > :14:09.actions. I will contemplate what I have done and I will come to terms

:14:10. > :14:14.with that and examine my actions. As try to understand how I can avoid

:14:15. > :14:18.the arrested in future. Do xou regret sending those twits? I do

:14:19. > :14:27.regret sending them because I will probably go to jail. But, yds, I

:14:28. > :14:33.want to put this behind me, really. And move on. Throughout this trial,

:14:34. > :14:37.Peter Nunn said he was just satirising the feminist deb`te, he

:14:38. > :14:42.said these were just jokes `nd banter. Today, we have not heard

:14:43. > :14:45.anything from Stella Creasy and she says she will respond when Peter

:14:46. > :14:47.Nunn has been sentenced and we expect that at the end of this

:14:48. > :14:51.month. Thank you. The Metropolitan Police has been

:14:52. > :14:54.told it should review all discrimination cases mounted

:14:55. > :14:55.against them since 2009. It comes after an employment

:14:56. > :14:58.tribunal awarded a firearms officer nearly ?40,000 for racial and sexual

:14:59. > :15:13.discrimination by a senior officer. PC Carroll Howard, firearms officer

:15:14. > :15:18.in the dramatic protection group and post a goal for The Met Polhce

:15:19. > :15:20.gigolo books. Earlier this xear she brought a claim of discrimination

:15:21. > :15:24.against the force. She clailed she had been victimised cause of gender

:15:25. > :15:30.and race. In July, and deployment tribunal agreed, finding th`t she

:15:31. > :15:32.had been singled out and targeted for almost one year by Acting

:15:42. > :15:46.Today, she was awarded without ?37,000 in compensation with judges

:15:47. > :15:50.heavily criticising the way that The Met Police handled her grievances.

:15:51. > :15:54.It is so disappointing that we are still discovering that the

:15:55. > :15:59.Metropolitan Police are not taking these issues seriously. Thex have

:16:00. > :16:04.not apologised or accepted what the tribunal has found. They trhed to

:16:05. > :16:09.explain this away by saying it was just one officer who was dohng this

:16:10. > :16:12.but in fact there was a cle`r policy in place to prevent findings of disk

:16:13. > :16:17.rumination being made. The tribunal found that The Met Police and

:16:18. > :16:20.practice of deleting references to discrimination during internal

:16:21. > :16:23.investigations and recommended an independent review into its

:16:24. > :16:26.purposes. It all comes as no surprise to those who monitor the

:16:27. > :16:31.conduct of the force towards employees. This is not the first

:16:32. > :16:35.time that the Mets have been found wanting around issues of diversity

:16:36. > :16:41.so for me, the recommendations given by the tribunal don't go far enough.

:16:42. > :16:45.The Met has a recent statemdnt this afternoon saying that as part of the

:16:46. > :16:48.independent review into its policy, it will look at devious casds of

:16:49. > :16:52.disk rumination within the force. it will look at devious casds of

:19:51. > :19:53.part of the strategy to enstre we can do that. If we don't release
