:00:07. > :00:20.Tonight, flights diverted and a runway closed as protesters breached
:00:21. > :00:25.security at Stansted Airport. People have to be kept away from the
:00:26. > :00:30.site of the reports. No question whatsoever about that. On opposite
:00:31. > :00:33.sides of the Brexit argument, we have been talking to people at
:00:34. > :00:34.Harwich and Norwich. In warm weather expected for
:00:35. > :00:42.tomorrow. First tonight a leading security
:00:43. > :00:45.expert says he's shocked at a breach of security that happened
:00:46. > :00:47.at Stansted Airport last night. Flights were diverted
:00:48. > :00:49.after protestors padlocked themselves to the undercarriage
:00:50. > :00:51.of an aircraft. and the runway was closed
:00:52. > :00:54.for nearly an hour and a half. The protesters were
:00:55. > :00:59.objecting to people being Stansted handles 24 million
:01:00. > :01:09.passengers per year, rarely do things come
:01:10. > :01:11.to a standstill but last Now borders, no nations,
:01:12. > :01:22.stop deportations! They were apparently changed
:01:23. > :01:25.to the wheel of the jet which was due to fly
:01:26. > :01:27.to Nigeria and Ghana. It was about 9:30pm last
:01:28. > :01:33.night when reports came through that protesters have got
:01:34. > :01:35.through the fence onto As a result of that at 10pm
:01:36. > :01:41.the runway had to be shut and it remained shut for about one hour
:01:42. > :01:45.and 15 minutes when police declared that it was safe to reopen and has
:01:46. > :01:49.a results 23 fights are meant to be coming in as to be diverted
:01:50. > :01:52.to airports elsewhere. The jets remained grounded,
:01:53. > :01:54.passengers on board Campaigners said it was the first
:01:55. > :02:01.time this form of direct action had halted a mass deportation flight
:02:02. > :02:03.and called it an MPs have been called,
:02:04. > :02:09.the Home Office has been e-mailed and called repeatedly,
:02:10. > :02:14.legal action has been taken and basically it seemed as though
:02:15. > :02:21.nothing was really working. We tried all other modes to prevent
:02:22. > :02:24.this action and we just felt as though in the end people's lives
:02:25. > :02:29.were more imperative. Police say those arrested were held
:02:30. > :02:32.on suspicion of aggravated trespass. Airport officials and see
:02:33. > :02:37.the incident was quickly contained in what was a room or part
:02:38. > :02:40.of the site away from the runway In a statement the Home Office said
:02:41. > :02:46.we respect everyone's right to peaceful protest but we are clear
:02:47. > :02:50.that removal is an essential element We expect those with no legal basis
:02:51. > :02:54.to remain in the UK to leave voluntarily but if they do not
:02:55. > :02:57.we will seek to enforce The campaigners claim that such
:02:58. > :03:03.flights are destroying the lives of hundreds of people,
:03:04. > :03:06.some with valid claims for asylum. They say the protest
:03:07. > :03:25.is just the start and Professor Anthony Lees is the
:03:26. > :03:30.director of the centre of Security studies at the University of
:03:31. > :03:33.Birmingham. I asked them of what happened was a breach of security.
:03:34. > :03:40.On the face of it it is shocking and very much so, serious breach of
:03:41. > :03:45.security. It should not be possible for people to get on the wrong side
:03:46. > :03:52.of an airport, and definitely not be possible for people to get on the
:03:53. > :03:56.runway. Official super incident was quickly contained or on-site and it
:03:57. > :04:04.was away from the main passenger terminal. Does that go in anyway to
:04:05. > :04:12.allocating the matter? Not at all, it is most unconvincing. People have
:04:13. > :04:16.got to be kept away from the air side of airports. No question
:04:17. > :04:21.whatsoever about that. When it comes to the wider question of security we
:04:22. > :04:27.have had the suggestion that Britain might withdraw cooperation on
:04:28. > :04:33.security matters if a deal can be reached on trade. Do you think that
:04:34. > :04:43.could have serious implications? It could, our airports and ports are
:04:44. > :04:50.the arteries which keep Britain in touch with those with weak trade
:04:51. > :04:54.that they will be even more important than they were before. We
:04:55. > :04:59.must act as if we are serious about the security and Stansted Airport
:05:00. > :05:03.urgently need to explain why in drop the ball. Thank you.
:05:04. > :05:06.Well tonight Stansted Airport have told us a criminal investigation
:05:07. > :05:08.is underway and they are working with the police to
:05:09. > :05:13.Next tonight, the implications for all of us living in this region
:05:14. > :05:16.as Britain finally commits to Brexit.
:05:17. > :05:19.Overall we voted decisively to leave the European Union
:05:20. > :05:23.In fact the only place where a majority of people voted
:05:24. > :05:30.Today we've been gathering opinion in that city and we've also been
:05:31. > :05:32.to the Essex coast where the mood is very different.
:05:33. > :05:42.This from our chief reporter, Kim Riley.
:05:43. > :05:47.This is pure in Harwich, a port which has had close links with
:05:48. > :05:54.mainland Europe but it is very much a Brexit town. In this area more
:05:55. > :06:01.than 69% of people voted to leave while 30% voted to remain. What do
:06:02. > :06:07.voters want now? Control of our borders back in control of our lives
:06:08. > :06:10.back. Controlling immigration to bring people in who are prepared to
:06:11. > :06:18.work, we need them for the NHS and agricultural work. Immigration
:06:19. > :06:20.Minister, controlling immigration. This man runs Harwich harbour ferry
:06:21. > :06:26.and is worried about his future here. After investing a lot of money
:06:27. > :06:33.in the business, my wife as it was, we have a house in the UK, so there
:06:34. > :06:37.is a lot of money involved. After the country voted to leave the EU
:06:38. > :06:43.remain supporters held a mass rally outside Norwich city Hall. 56% of
:06:44. > :06:48.photos here wanted to stay. Katie was a key speaker and reflected
:06:49. > :06:55.today about the official first steps. What I'm hoping for is even
:06:56. > :07:00.being a pragmatist accepting it is going ahead as for the best possible
:07:01. > :07:05.deal. I don't suspect we will get it. The future for science and
:07:06. > :07:11.research in the region is an issue addressed by the MPs for the areas
:07:12. > :07:16.this evening. Message my party should give is be consensual and try
:07:17. > :07:19.moment that has not happened and a moment that has not happened and a
:07:20. > :07:24.lot of people are sceptical about the future. Client will say one
:07:25. > :07:27.thing and I will see another and that is the political debate works
:07:28. > :07:32.but we must have dialogue and there was more dialogue behind-the-scenes.
:07:33. > :07:35.I would love to meet clients of scientists and talk to the material
:07:36. > :07:40.they have to say and transmit that back to the government because these
:07:41. > :07:43.concerns must be dealt with. For the majority in Norwich voted to stay in
:07:44. > :07:47.acceptance that the referendum battles long lost. The fight
:07:48. > :07:51.accusing the best possible Brexit deal.
:07:52. > :07:53.Let's get the thoughts of our political correspondent
:07:54. > :07:54.Andrew Sinclair who's at Westminster tonight
:07:55. > :07:57.we heard about from Kim about the importance of science
:07:58. > :07:59.in these negotiations, what else is important
:08:00. > :08:13.Science is definitely top four places like the Norwich Research
:08:14. > :08:17.Park and Telecom, space science in jungle, to continue to be successful
:08:18. > :08:22.beneath the European co-operation. Also great importance is ease of
:08:23. > :08:26.movement. And these companies get the best and brightest to work here?
:08:27. > :08:33.Can farmers get migrant labour to work in the fields? Can the NHS and
:08:34. > :08:38.care homes get the staff they need? Airports like so tired and Stansted
:08:39. > :08:41.won the open skies policy to continue and farmers need to know
:08:42. > :08:46.they can keep selling food into Europe. Fishermen hope to get back
:08:47. > :08:50.control over the waters. A lot of people are watching these
:08:51. > :08:55.negotiations closely. How easy will it be to sort this
:08:56. > :08:59.out? The consensus is that when it comes to sign the cooperation it
:09:00. > :09:04.will be easy to sort out, MPs probably -- MPs also think it will
:09:05. > :09:11.be easy to sort out the rights of EU nationals but the one thing can MPW
:09:12. > :09:17.is that farming and fishing may get a raw deal but these are raw --
:09:18. > :09:20.these are early days. One more thing on this historic day, one of our MPs
:09:21. > :09:26.has been the focus of a lot of attention today. That is the MP for
:09:27. > :09:30.Clachan Douglas Carswell. If he had not defected to Ukip and won the
:09:31. > :09:36.by-election in 2014 David Cameron may have changed his mind on calling
:09:37. > :09:39.a referendum. Carswell may not be the most popular of people around
:09:40. > :09:40.but he will have a place in the Brexit history books.
:09:41. > :09:43.And there's more information on what Brexit might mean
:09:44. > :09:46.Go to bbc.co.uk where you'll find a special live page.
:09:47. > :09:50.And there are also details on how much the UK might have to pay
:09:51. > :09:59.and what the key negotiating areas might be.
:10:00. > :10:02.That's all from me, coming up now the weather with Alex,
:10:03. > :10:14.Good evening. There was a lot of Kylo Ren tonight and that helped
:10:15. > :10:20.temperatures back but tomorrow they could be much higher, perhaps 22
:10:21. > :10:25.degrees. The terms of patchy rain as we go through the night with a lot
:10:26. > :10:31.of dry weather, especially mild, 1011 our law. The weather system is
:10:32. > :10:35.well to the west of a subtle change in the wind direction towards a
:10:36. > :10:39.southerly, that will bring drier contoured the hourly rate is
:10:40. > :10:42.expected to be brighter through tomorrow. Having said that it could
:10:43. > :10:45.be a cloudy start with one or two showers possible, a much better
:10:46. > :10:51.chance of that cloud shifting and breaking to allow sunshine and once
:10:52. > :10:53.the sun shines out the temperatures could shoot up and we could be
:10:54. > :10:58.looking at highs of 20 degrees tomorrow. This is the outlet, on
:10:59. > :11:01.Friday gradually we will see the weather system bringing in cooler
:11:02. > :11:08.fresher air for the weekend. Showers far. The outlook for the next few
:11:09. > :11:10.days, temperatures coming down a bit but staying decent for this time of
:11:11. > :11:16.year. Here is Darren Bett with the national weather.
:11:17. > :11:22.The warm air coming up on a southerly breeze all the way from
:11:23. > :11:25.Iberia and across France into England and Wales. To achieve the
:11:26. > :11:30.high temperatures we need to get into some of this dryer air and
:11:31. > :11:33.sunshine. Even with the cloud today, 17 degrees. Not just about the
:11:34. > :11:37.temperatures, let's not forget there is some rain around as well. Quite
:11:38. > :11:42.wet in Pembrokeshire for much of the day. More rain overnight tonight,
:11:43. > :11:44.some rain and drizzle in northern and western areas. Wetter weather
:11:45. > :11:49.moving northwards across Scotland. Some rain in the south-west,
:11:50. > :11:53.shuffling towards the Midlands. Overnight, a lot of cloud around. It
:11:54. > :11:55.is going to be very mild indeed for the time
