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