:00:12. > :00:16.Good evening from BBC London News. It's arguably the biggest and most
:00:17. > :00:21.difficult decision facing London and the Home Counties: how to
:00:22. > :00:27.Today, the Prime Minister spelled out the timetable for that decision
:00:28. > :00:31.in what appears to be a movd to stave off a possible
:00:32. > :00:33.rebellion from her MPs and Conservative Councils,
:00:34. > :00:39.Our political editor, Tim Donovan, reports.
:00:40. > :00:41.No decision formally made, but Heathrow now firm favourite
:00:42. > :00:45.No decision formally made, yet legal moves already started
:00:46. > :00:49.Four councils have reminded the Government that a 2010
:00:50. > :00:54.High Court judgment still ndeds to be respected.
:00:55. > :00:57.The leader of Hillingdon, one of those councils,
:00:58. > :01:02.says it required clear answdrs on air pollution and noise `nd any
:01:03. > :01:05.move towards a third runway must still first go
:01:06. > :01:09.through an extensive consultation process.
:01:10. > :01:12.What we notified them of last week was if you attempt to put
:01:13. > :01:15.this through Parliament, without dealing with the matters
:01:16. > :01:18.that we raised in 2010, which are still valid,
:01:19. > :01:21.that's judge made law on the Government, you cannot
:01:22. > :01:30.The Government cannot break the law, no matter what party's in control,
:01:31. > :01:35.That's what the judge told them in 2010 and that's what will happen
:01:36. > :01:38.if they try to move on without dealing with those issues.
:01:39. > :01:41.It's the council's contention that adding 250,000 new flights ` year
:01:42. > :01:45.at Heathrow would make it ilpossible to meet legal requirements on noise
:01:46. > :01:50.and air quality and opponents are readying themselves agahn
:01:51. > :01:55.with the councils forming an alliance with environmental
:01:56. > :02:00.It's the same very broad co`lition that came out against the third
:02:01. > :02:02.runway before and that included Theresa May,
:02:03. > :02:04.it included Boris Johnson, it included many Cabinet
:02:05. > :02:06.ministers, and the arguments are stronger today.
:02:07. > :02:09.But here in Boris Johnson's Uxbridge, in the borough
:02:10. > :02:14.of Hillingdon, the arguments by no means go the same way.
:02:15. > :02:20.It's good for the area. It's good for employment.
:02:21. > :02:25.I know people say there's already one or two runways there
:02:26. > :02:29.You know, but people in the area have actually got used
:02:30. > :02:36.If you're living on the flight path you'd probably understand the reason
:02:37. > :02:40.I like the idea of it because we're London,
:02:41. > :02:43.we need the added attraction that we can deal with
:02:44. > :02:45.the growth in this country, in terms of visitors etc.
:02:46. > :02:51.But the environmental issue is a major concern to myself.
:02:52. > :02:56.Expansion at Heathrow is more economical for the area.
:02:57. > :02:59.You just get used to it, other people will get used to that?
:03:00. > :03:05.Heathrow's gain will be Gatwick s pain unless, of course...
:03:06. > :03:08.The sensible decision for the Government next week,
:03:09. > :03:12.which I hope it's what they will come to, I hope, is to see them give
:03:13. > :03:14.the green light to both Gatwick and Heathrow.
:03:15. > :03:17.But after all the delay there's been, it will be the solutions
:03:18. > :03:23.on air and noise which will be most closely scrutinised.
:03:24. > :03:27.Let's pick up on this with Tim, who's in Richmond tonight.
:03:28. > :03:31.No-one thought it was going to be easy, but do you think people
:03:32. > :03:33.realised it would be at least another year before
:03:34. > :03:43.I'm not sure. See how quickly we've almost assumed a decision h`s been
:03:44. > :03:46.made or is going to be made in favour of Heathrow. Local
:03:47. > :03:50.authorities like Hillingdon, we saw in the film there, and Richlond
:03:51. > :03:53.here, are keen to point out, there's a long way to go. It's the beginning
:03:54. > :03:57.of a process, or will be thd beginning of a process. All the
:03:58. > :04:02.Government will be doing next week through a Cabinet subcommittee is
:04:03. > :04:06.expressing a statement of preference then a more formal process kicks in.
:04:07. > :04:10.They have to produce a national policy statement, which will explain
:04:11. > :04:14.how they deal with the unanswered questions about air quality,
:04:15. > :04:18.traffic, how you build and so on. That's the point here. That's why
:04:19. > :04:22.these authorities like Hillhngdon are saying, you know, watch what you
:04:23. > :04:28.do here. We are ready to take legal action at any turn. What do you make
:04:29. > :04:33.of the unusual arrangements to allow ministers to oppose their
:04:34. > :04:38.Government's policy? It is tnusual. It gives you an idea of what a
:04:39. > :04:42.difficult decision this one is. In effect, this is giving ministers a
:04:43. > :04:47.limited freedom to object, to criticise. Ministers, like Boris
:04:48. > :04:50.Johnson, the MP for Uxbridgd, former London Mayor, and Justine Greening,
:04:51. > :04:56.the Education Secretary, an MP for put any, the right to criticise a
:04:57. > :05:00.decision apparently, but not how the decision was reached nor to actively
:05:01. > :05:06.campaign. There are some lilitations there. Attention then turns to
:05:07. > :05:10.people like Zac Goldsmith, the MP here in Richmond Park. Evenhng
:05:11. > :05:13.Standard reporting today th`t a meeting last night he said he could
:05:14. > :05:18.stand down and then stand as an independent in a by-election here.
:05:19. > :05:21.What's more, this article stggested that Conservatives locally will
:05:22. > :05:27.support him. That could raise all kinds of issues. There are `ll kinds
:05:28. > :05:29.of political implications wd are about to see play out. Tim, thank
:05:30. > :05:32.you. Now to news we're
:05:33. > :05:34.getting of a disturbance Let's cross to our reporter
:05:35. > :05:47.Marc Ashdown in the newsrool. There was an incident involving a
:05:48. > :05:52.group of prisoners at about 3. 0pm. The Prison Officers' Associ`tion
:05:53. > :05:56.told us it resulted in one prisoner being killed, two others injured and
:05:57. > :05:59.taken to hospital with what they say were stab wounds. At the tile, they
:06:00. > :06:03.said no prison officers werd involved. But literally just in the
:06:04. > :06:05.past few minutes, we've had a statement from the Met police saying
:06:06. > :06:10.they've launched a murder investigation. A man in his 20s was
:06:11. > :06:14.pronounced dead at the scend. A postmortem will follow. He's not
:06:15. > :06:22.been formally identified yet. They are in the process of inforling his
:06:23. > :06:26.next of kin. They said two len, aged 21 and 30, were taken to hospital
:06:27. > :06:30.with stab wounds. They're in a critical condition. They confirmed a
:06:31. > :06:35.34-year-old prisoner was arrested at the scene and is in custody at a
:06:36. > :06:38.police station tonight. The Ministry of Justice are aware of all this but
:06:39. > :06:42.can't comment further. It c`used, what I'm told, was a minor
:06:43. > :06:46.disturbance. About 120 prisoners were removed from the area while it
:06:47. > :06:53.was dealt with. I'm told thhngs are back to normal. Pen tonvilld has had
:06:54. > :06:56.a difficult recent history. Two inspections question its vi`bility
:06:57. > :06:59.going forward unless it has substantial investment in btildings
:07:00. > :07:01.and staffing. An incident lhke this, where a prisoner has been khlled,
:07:02. > :07:19.will raise more difficult qtestions. It's a photograph that capttred
:07:20. > :07:21.a unique moment in the '50s. A group portrait of some of the most
:07:22. > :07:25.notable jazz musicians of their time - including Dizzy Gillespie,
:07:26. > :07:27.Count Basie, and Theloneous Monk. Now the landmark picture,
:07:28. > :07:29."Harlem 1958" is being recreated in Hackney -
:07:30. > :07:30.bringing together 58 The great and the great
:07:31. > :07:38.of the British jazz world, not known for their time kedping
:07:39. > :07:43.unless it's when they're performing, but these musicians made it
:07:44. > :07:46.here to celebrate 30 years of this East End establishment,
:07:47. > :07:50.the Premises Studios in Hackney Look this way, look
:07:51. > :07:52.towards my chest. They're recreating Art Kane's
:07:53. > :07:57.historic jazz group portrait "Harlem 1958" which featured the likes
:07:58. > :08:00.of Dizzy Gillespie and Count Basie. Today's eminent group,
:08:01. > :08:04.some of the country's leading jazz It's a place that's very important
:08:05. > :08:12.to my development as a musician We're here to take photos
:08:13. > :08:16.to document the vast and varied types, cultures,
:08:17. > :08:19.creeds, skills of musicians that The Premises has always been a jazz
:08:20. > :08:35.place, right from the beginning Over the years, we've
:08:36. > :08:41.had all kinds of people We really wanted to celebrate
:08:42. > :08:50.the 30 years' association But it's also a chance to s`y thank
:08:51. > :08:56.you to the Premises for providing a home and a hub for this
:08:57. > :08:59.extended jazz family. I've been involved with the Premises
:09:00. > :09:05.since I was 15 years old. I used to come here and plax
:09:06. > :09:09.with jazz musicians It's great to get all
:09:10. > :09:21.these musicians together and have the recreation of that
:09:22. > :09:24.photograph and for it to me`n From Harlem 1958 to Hackney 201 -
:09:25. > :09:39.history in the taking. That's all from me, so I'll wish
:09:40. > :09:41.you a very goodnight. And I'll leave you with
:09:42. > :09:52.Elizabeth Rizzini for It has turned colderment a chilly
:09:53. > :09:56.wind around today, a lovely sunny afternoon for the most part. It led
:09:57. > :10:03.to a really pretty sun set out there. Just the right amount of
:10:04. > :10:08.cloud. What's happening over the next few days is that we'll see a
:10:09. > :10:11.bit of an east-west split sdt up. There'll be a chilly wind for
:10:12. > :10:16.everyone. But particularly so for Eastern areas. Here we may see one
:10:17. > :10:20.or two showers at times too. Drier the further west you are. Plenty of
:10:21. > :10:24.sunshine here. But we will `lso get cooler nights. It will feel chillier
:10:25. > :10:28.tonight than last night. Cldar skies for the most part, staying dry. We
:10:29. > :10:32.have got a north-westerly whnd. It helps to keep mist and fog patches
:10:33. > :10:37.at bay. Temperatures in towns, down to eight or nine degrees. In rural
:10:38. > :10:41.spots we could be looking at fives and sixes. Locally a cool start to
:10:42. > :10:46.the day tomorrow. Not a bad looking day. There'll be plenty of sunshine
:10:47. > :10:51.around. Small chance of one or two showers in north Eastern parts. Wind
:10:52. > :10:55.chill around as well. Temperatures higher than today, 15 degreds
:10:56. > :10:57.Celsius. Looking ahead, we still see showers out towards the east, then
:10:58. > :11:09.further west, it will be mostly dry. Good evening. As you've just seen
:11:10. > :11:13.from your local outlook, not a huge amount changes over the next few
:11:14. > :11:18.days. The weather patterns will be blocked again. What is driving that?
:11:19. > :11:21.It's a deep area of low pressure, the remnants of hurricane Nicole in
:11:22. > :11:25.the Atlantic. That's heading towards Greenland. Set to pile up the snow
:11:26. > :11:30.here, metres of it in the next few days. It's dragging a lot of warm
:11:31. > :11:33.air into the North Atlantic on the Eastern flank. What that does is
:11:34. > :11:37.build this, high pressure. That s not going to move a great deal over
:11:38. > :11:38.the next few days. To the east, low pressure in
