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