:01:28. > :01:42.After years of speculation `nd controversy over whether a new four
:01:43. > :01:45.runway hub airport should bd built here, in the Thames Street, the
:01:46. > :01:51.airports commission has now ruled it out. The risks of the project are
:01:52. > :01:55.immense. There is the challdnge of moving a huge airport, becatse
:01:56. > :02:00.Heathrow would have to closd, 7 miles across a major city, loving
:02:01. > :02:07.the staff etc, which we think is awe`inspiring as a project. There
:02:08. > :02:12.are severe environmental heroes ` hurdles to overcome. Also, the costs
:02:13. > :02:15.are very large. Today, camp`igners have celebrated the decision which
:02:16. > :02:18.they have spent years fighthng. They say they are still not taking
:02:19. > :02:27.anything for granted. Absolttely delighted. I think we should feel
:02:28. > :02:31.sorry for those people that live around Gatwick and Heathrow. For
:02:32. > :02:35.them, the battle goes on. I'm not even sure that the bottle. For us.
:02:36. > :02:41.In a few years time, it will raise its head again. Today's announcement
:02:42. > :02:46.brings an end to decades of uncertainty. The first proposals
:02:47. > :02:51.were made in the 1940s. In the 1970s, the government planndd a new
:02:52. > :02:57.airport of the Essex coast but it was abandoned. Then, Alan proposal
:02:58. > :03:03.was thrown out in 2003. A jtdicial review was launched in 2004.
:03:04. > :03:07.Conservationists see the effect could be devastating. Those 300 000
:03:08. > :03:11.birds that come here would have been displaced and I think the
:03:12. > :03:15.populations would have been decimated. That is why it w`s
:03:16. > :03:19.completely unacceptable and unsustainable. But the schele wasn't
:03:20. > :03:24.without its supporters. You've got to think of the unemployed `nd the
:03:25. > :03:28.younger people. It would have brought work to them. I can
:03:29. > :03:33.understand people with their views of not building. All the wildlife
:03:34. > :03:36.and everything. But you've got to think of the future. And thd
:03:37. > :03:41.decision is clearly a major setback for the Mayor of London Borhs
:03:42. > :03:46.Johnson but he is undeterred. It will become obvious that if you want
:03:47. > :03:53.a hub and you cannot keep expanding Heathrow, you're going to h`ve to go
:03:54. > :03:57.back to that option. It took in 120 years to build a tunnel. Thhs thing
:03:58. > :04:02.will take a while. It is cldar a hub airport will not be built in the
:04:03. > :04:04.Thames estuary. What is not clear is how the government will resolve the
:04:05. > :04:08.UK's lack of core capacity. And Louise is in Westminster
:04:09. > :04:10.for us now. Louise, so how much longer do
:04:11. > :04:19.our politicians need to makd a This long`running saga is not going
:04:20. > :04:23.to end any time soon becausd we know the commission isn't going to report
:04:24. > :04:28.back until after the next gdneral election. Business is becomhng
:04:29. > :04:32.increasingly frustrated. I think this is such a political hot potato
:04:33. > :04:37.that no politician wants to firmly back any scheme because it risks
:04:38. > :04:42.alienating voters. So they've put it off until after 2015. Even then
:04:43. > :04:50.whoever forms the next government is not bound by the commission's
:04:51. > :04:53.findings. The final decision will be made by the politicians who hold the
:04:54. > :04:55.power base here. So the Davies Commission has
:04:56. > :04:57.rejected the idea of a Now the spotlight turns fully
:04:58. > :05:00.on Gatwick. A second runway at the Sussdx
:05:01. > :05:04.airport is one of three proposals that will be
:05:05. > :05:07.considered, alongside with creating a third runway at Heathrow, or
:05:08. > :05:10.extending one of the existing ones. Our reporter Mark Sanders is
:05:11. > :05:11.at Gatwick. Mark,
:05:12. > :05:26.what's been the reaction thdre? Gatwick says it has the strongest
:05:27. > :05:32.case to expand and this is now just a straight fight between thhs
:05:33. > :05:40.airport and Heathrow. Boris airport has been discounted. If a sdcond
:05:41. > :05:43.runway is recommended, therd will no doubt be strong opposition. We must
:05:44. > :05:49.decide on the location of the runway and decide on the infrastructure,
:05:50. > :05:54.roads and... Are you looking at the future? This is what Gatwick wants,
:05:55. > :05:57.a second runway to the south of the existing one. The UK's
:05:58. > :06:03.second`biggest airport is now looking to take on its biggdst
:06:04. > :06:06.rival. This now becomes a ddbate where we will either see an
:06:07. > :06:10.additional runway at Gatwick or Heathrow. The advantages of
:06:11. > :06:15.Gatwick, the only deliverable solution, is it will ease the
:06:16. > :06:20.pressure on Heathrow, freeing up spare hub capacity at Heathrow while
:06:21. > :06:25.enabling Gatwick to grow. G`twick says it can build an extra runway
:06:26. > :06:30.for just under ?8 billion, half the cost of one at Heathrow, it claims.
:06:31. > :06:34.Although a legal agreement leans no second runway can be built before
:06:35. > :06:40.2019 at Gatwick, the airport says a new runway could be ready bx 20 5.
:06:41. > :06:47.But one group opposed to Gatwick expanding says a second runway is
:06:48. > :06:51.not needed, nor wanted. Certainly, we've got a fight on our hands. The
:06:52. > :06:54.Gatwick area conservation c`mpaign has existed for 40 years or so. We
:06:55. > :06:59.have defeated three previous attempts and we can defeat this
:07:00. > :07:02.fourth one as well. The ide` of building a new runway in thd
:07:03. > :07:05.overcrowded Southeast is a nonsense. Gatwick claims getting a
:07:06. > :07:11.second runway would deliver more economic benefits that expansion at
:07:12. > :07:18.Heathrow. It means more jobs. These were some of the views we found
:07:19. > :07:23.Where else are they going to put it? Heathrow is big enough, isn't it?
:07:24. > :07:28.Other than that, you've got to go to Stansted. I think it's a good idea.
:07:29. > :07:31.I think the locals probably are against it and I can understand
:07:32. > :07:40.that. If you live under the flight path, it is not pleasant. Btt it is
:07:41. > :07:45.bound to be economically better It's bound to be good for the local
:07:46. > :07:49.economy, all the hotels and shops in the area. This is where any second
:07:50. > :07:55.runway at Gatwick would be built. Now the airport's claim it should be
:07:56. > :08:02.chosen will have to stand up to student Jenny ` scrutiny.
:08:03. > :08:07.Heathrow claims in effect G`twick isn't the job to become a m`jor

:08:11. > :08:15.and competition there will be over the next few months between Gatwick
:08:16. > :08:17.and Heathrow as they tried to influence the final recommendation.
:08:18. > :08:19.Well, we want to know what you thhnk.
:08:20. > :08:22.Is it the correct decision to dismiss the idea of an airport in

:12:43. > :12:46.stuff. Good evening. First, can I say that along with most of the rest
:12:47. > :12:50.of the NHS, particularly in Kent, we've seen large increases hn the
:12:51. > :12:55.number of patients coming to us We recognised that as a trust `nd we
:12:56. > :12:59.have put in place recruitment campaigns and funded additional ?3
:13:00. > :13:09.million worth of nurses. 55 of those nurses are now already in posts
:13:10. > :13:14.since the queues... We've h`d difficulties retaining some of our
:13:15. > :13:17.consultants. We've recruited for new surgical consultants. These go a
:13:18. > :13:21.long way to addressing some of the issues which the CQC were rhghtly
:13:22. > :13:24.concerned about in relation to staffing levels and safety
:13:25. > :13:29.associated with that. It gods a long way to addressing some of those
:13:30. > :13:33.issues but it doesn't go a long way to addressing issues such as
:13:34. > :13:36.bullying and harassment. It says the staff engagement score is alongst
:13:37. > :13:44.the worst 20% of trusts in the country and that staff are contacted
:13:45. > :13:51.directly on numerous occasions. You are the man in charge of th`t
:13:52. > :13:55.culture. Yes and that is of concern to us. We've been meeting whth staff
:13:56. > :14:01.and asking them why they fedl that and what exactly they would wish to
:14:02. > :14:04.see done differently. I think there is undoubtedly a view among our
:14:05. > :14:09.staff applications within the trust could be a lot better. They don t
:14:10. > :14:14.always understand why some of the priorities of the trust, whhch are
:14:15. > :14:18.driven towards providing good care, rapid access to patients and so on,
:14:19. > :14:24.impact them in the way it does. But I would say that the key CQC's
:14:25. > :14:29.report highlighted the very high quality delivered across all eight
:14:30. > :14:32.areas they inspected in all three of our hospitals and that we rdmain a
:14:33. > :14:40.hospital with a 20% lower mortality rate than the average of England,
:14:41. > :14:46.with very good infection control procedures and excellent outcomes in
:14:47. > :14:49.our surgery. The patient experience and the impact of the treatlents
:14:50. > :14:58.have been positive in this hospital for a number of years and rdmain so.
:14:59. > :15:05.Briefly and finally, all thhs has been happening on your watch. Are

:21:41. > :21:44.been a long one. She has suffered a stroke and she discovered she had a
:21:45. > :21:49.hole in her heart. Life changed a lot. I was going on to do a job up
:21:50. > :21:55.in Scotland has that got cancelled because they wouldn't insurd me So,
:21:56. > :22:01.that flipped everything on hts head. I just have to be really th`nkful
:22:02. > :22:05.that I had nothing afterwards. I'm not learning how to talk or walk
:22:06. > :22:10.again. As soon as you tell people you've had a stroke, everyone has a
:22:11. > :22:14.story. Initially thinking it was a migraine and at the age of just 37,
:22:15. > :22:18.Dawn couldn't believe she h`d suffered a stroke but after a heart
:22:19. > :22:24.operation and gradual recovdry, she is now back to work. It has made me
:22:25. > :22:36.look at life differently and it has made me be more appreciativd and try
:22:37. > :22:42.and live in the here and now. Appearing this week at the Larlowe
:22:43. > :22:46.Theatre in Canterbury, the `ctor is enjoying work just a stones throw
:22:47. > :22:49.from her home on the Kent coast after moving to Whitstable with her
:22:50. > :22:56.partner and young daughter two years ago. Me and my partner are both from
:22:57. > :23:02.Scotland so I didn't really feel like I saw my child being brought up
:23:03. > :23:06.in London. I forced my dreal on her by moving to the sea. I lovd the
:23:07. > :23:12.fact she will finish school in the summer and be able to go and run and
:23:13. > :23:18.have a swim. It's amazing. Ht has been quite a year for Dawn but fully
:23:19. > :23:21.recovered now and back onst`ge, life has returned to the normality of
:23:22. > :23:31.juggling acting and a mother. Neither Gillingham nor Crawley are
:23:32. > :23:34.likely to make it to Wemblex for the the FA Cup final,
:23:35. > :23:37.at least not in the near future However they do have a good
:23:38. > :23:39.chance of getting to football's headquarters in the Johnstone
:23:40. > :23:41.Paint Trophy which begins today Our sports reporter Neil
:23:42. > :23:47.Bell joins us from Chatham. Neil, this competition isn't
:23:48. > :23:52.always taken too seriously. The problem is the Trophy is only
:23:53. > :23:56.open to clubs in the League One and League Two, so it lacks a bht of
:23:57. > :23:59.glamour but it does give cltbs like the Gills and Crawley a gre`t chance
:24:00. > :24:03.of progressing and all football supporters love the opportunity
:24:04. > :24:09.of going to a Wembley final. Gillingham begin their camp`ign
:24:10. > :24:12.at League Two side Stevenagd who could include a couple of former
:24:13. > :24:16.Gills favourites in Charlie Lee and Chris Whelpdale who both left the
:24:17. > :24:20.Priestfield Stadium in the summer. Gillingham skipper Doug Loft looks
:24:21. > :24:26.likely to miss the game through injury and they be hoping to avoid
:24:27. > :24:29.further injuries with a league Crawley Town will be hoping to make
:24:30. > :24:33.progress against League Two Boss John Gregory will no doubt make
:24:34. > :24:36.a few changes but clubs have to include
:24:37. > :24:39.at least half the players who featured in their last leagte game
:24:40. > :24:42.which does restrict their options Brighton and Hove Albion will face
:24:43. > :24:50.their former manager Oscar Garcia Garcia left the Albion following
:24:51. > :25:00.their play off defeat in Max and briefly returned to manage Laccabi
:25:01. > :25:03.Tel Aviv but is back in the UK. Earlier today he took over `t second
:25:04. > :25:24.place Watford who the Seagulls visit It is the preliminary round
:25:25. > :25:29.replays. It's Whitstable town.. Teams left in the competition
:25:30. > :25:35.include West allotment Celthc! Back to our top story, the news
:25:36. > :25:40.that Boris Johnson's idea of a hub airport in the Thames Estuary has
:25:41. > :25:43.not been included in a shortlist Instead,
:25:44. > :25:59.Gatwick and Heathrow will b`ttle it Nick Ridley says, he is an dx`air
:26:00. > :26:03.traffic controller. He says additional runway capacity hs
:26:04. > :26:09.necessary. It is wrong to dhsmiss an entirely new airport. I Gatwick nor
:26:10. > :26:14.he are ideal. He would be horrified at all that additional air traffic
:26:15. > :26:18.over London. Gatwick's transport links are not good enough.
:26:19. > :26:23.Andrew says, it is and alwaxs has been a very bad idea. He talks about
:26:24. > :26:31.four in the Thames estuary `nd the problems with bird strike. The
:26:32. > :26:33.letters SSS I and conservathon mean anything, the estuary airport should
:26:34. > :26:40.never happen. Quite a quiet day today. Lots of
:26:41. > :26:44.cloud around but it has been straying try. More of the s`me over
:26:45. > :26:47.the next couple of days. It will be settled. Not an awful lot in terms
:26:48. > :26:52.of sunshine. Tomorrow will be the brightest day of the week. Lots of
:26:53. > :26:56.cloud around meaning that temperatures will be up to 08 or 19
:26:57. > :27:00.degrees. Where that cloud cover starts to thin, you should be seeing
:27:01. > :27:03.temperatures as high as 23 or 2 degrees. That area of high
:27:04. > :27:10.pressure, the reason we are seeing the settled weather and tod`y we had
:27:11. > :27:14.highs of 18 or 19 degrees. Hnto tonight, mostly we stay dry. You
:27:15. > :27:19.might see a little bit of lhght patchy rain and drizzle. Because we
:27:20. > :27:24.have light winds, you might see a little bit of mist and fog.
:27:25. > :27:32.Temperatures staying pretty mild. Those of 16 or 17 degrees. @ misty
:27:33. > :27:38.and murky start of the day tomorrow but it should be fairly thin. Or
:27:39. > :28:01.cloud in the morning but brhghtening up a little bit by the afternoon.
:28:02. > :28:07.Temperatures will be 14 or 05 degrees. Settled weather as you
:28:08. > :28:11.start the day on Thursday. Luch more of the same. We will be seehng
:28:12. > :28:17.brightness by the afternoon but a fairly dull picture. Those lighter
:28:18. > :28:21.winds will stay with us. As we end the week, much more of the same An
:28:22. > :28:25.area of high pressure is st`ying with us. Settled towards thd weekend
:28:26. > :28:31.but on the whole, feeling pretty warm for the time of year.
:28:32. > :28:45.That's it for now. We will see you tomorrow. Goodbye.
