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

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

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.
