:00:00. > :00:00.Hello, a very good evening to you, I'm Tom Hepworth, you're
:00:07. > :00:11.Coming up - the daily flight paths seen over Gatwick and Heathrow
:00:12. > :00:14.as the two airports fought for an extra runway.
:00:15. > :00:21.As Heathrow is chosen where does that leave Gatwick now?
:00:22. > :00:27.We will look at this carefully and seriously but legal challenges are
:00:28. > :00:31.not really what is on our mhnd at the moment. We are relieved. We
:00:32. > :00:38.don't wish airport expansion on anybody. And there is a Met Office
:00:39. > :00:43.fog warning in place, all the details on that shortly.
:00:44. > :00:44.The transport secretary Chris Grayling called
:00:45. > :00:46.it a momentous step, it's one which was certainlx
:00:47. > :00:50.The Government announced today Heathrow would get a third runway,
:00:51. > :00:53.bringing with it the governlent says, tens of thousands of new jobs
:00:54. > :00:55.Gatwick had campaigned hard for a second runway
:00:56. > :01:15.jubilation in West Sussex as the new jubilation in West Sussex as the new
:01:16. > :01:19.son Ken and people who had campaigned against expansion at
:01:20. > :01:22.Gatwick. We don't wish it on anybody but at the moment we are relieved
:01:23. > :01:31.but we do not believe Gatwick will go away. A second runway wotld have
:01:32. > :01:36.brought benefits to business. This is electronics factory would have
:01:37. > :01:38.been forced to relocate. Thdre are concerns whether the existing
:01:39. > :01:45.infrastructure would have bden able to hope. There is insufficidnt
:01:46. > :01:50.housing in the area as it is. The infrastructure, the roads and rail
:01:51. > :01:54.are already overloaded. I don't think the problem is in the sky but
:01:55. > :02:01.then he run the ground. Cars will not be able to move. Gatwick has not
:02:02. > :02:10.given up and its lawyers will be scrutinising the detail of today's
:02:11. > :02:14.announcement. We are still standing by willing to the love of a second
:02:15. > :02:20.runway at Gatwick whenever the government wishes to engage with us
:02:21. > :02:21.to do that. -- deliver. The government has said today G`twick is
:02:22. > :02:23.a very credible option. Giving the green light to Hdathrow
:02:24. > :02:26.over Gatwick has split opinhon within the conservative party,
:02:27. > :02:28.many of those MP's in Sussex agreed John Redwood the MP for Wokhngham
:02:29. > :02:32.has said it was wrong to expand Heathrow, in Reading Alok Sharma has
:02:33. > :02:35.given it his enthusiastic b`cking, while his colleague Rob Wilson said
:02:36. > :02:38.the decision was finely bal`nced Our Political Editor Peter Henley's
:02:39. > :02:47.at Westminster for us tonight. Why has it taken so long
:02:48. > :03:00.to get to this point? Simply because businesses don't have
:03:01. > :03:05.votes and it is thought that count at Westminster. Seven years ago
:03:06. > :03:10.there was a person who said the cause of the noise and pollttion
:03:11. > :03:12.Heathrow should be better btt not bigger. Who was that person? Let me
:03:13. > :03:14.give you a clue. Our Prime Minister,
:03:15. > :03:16.writing then simply as MP for Maidenhead in Berkshire,
:03:17. > :03:18.worried about Heathrow expansion But that wasn't as strong
:03:19. > :03:23.as Boris Johnson, preparing to lie in front of the bulldozers,
:03:24. > :03:26.And a U-turn isn't a U-turn if it puts you on the right coursd -
:03:27. > :03:46.and that's what some I've been very frustrated as I think
:03:47. > :03:49.many in the country will have been. You do not improve the qualhty of
:03:50. > :03:51.decision-making by dragging out the process and this really has been.
:03:52. > :03:57.There are plenty still saying this will all end in tears.
:03:58. > :04:01.Or that it may be won't happen at all!
:04:02. > :04:03.Demonstrations at Westminstdr are just the start, some saxing it
:04:04. > :04:06.would have made more sense to beef up regional airports.
:04:07. > :04:13.If you look at places like Bournemouth, Southampton, they have
:04:14. > :04:15.want to fly directly from somewhere want to fly directly from somewhere
:04:16. > :04:17.close to them to their desthnation. Others saying for the environment's
:04:18. > :04:27.sake, we cannot have a free We need to be looking at who is
:04:28. > :04:32.flying, why they are flying and deal with that demand. The result of this
:04:33. > :04:36.is if we increase carbon in one area we have to cut back on it in another
:04:37. > :04:43.area and that will have an dffect on small businesses. The papers will
:04:44. > :04:47.not hold to these it up as ` havoc it but as somebody prepared to go
:04:48. > :04:48.against their own constituents' interests, and in the country's
:04:49. > :04:50.interests. The Confederation of
:04:51. > :04:52.British Industry said it wotld be an enormous relief that exp`nsion
:04:53. > :04:55.was at last happening at He`throw. Today's decision has been w`rmly
:04:56. > :04:57.welcomed by businesses in the Thames Valley too
:04:58. > :05:01.as Alastair Fee reports. Fruit and cut flowers
:05:02. > :05:04.flying in from Colombia. Heathrow is a passenger airport
:05:05. > :05:07.but on every plane, there is cargo, It is anticipated that
:05:08. > :05:13.a third runway will help open up 40 new markets had
:05:14. > :05:18.almost doubled capacity. It gives Heathrow the ability
:05:19. > :05:21.to reach out to all Collection, handling,
:05:22. > :05:25.screening and delivery. The nearby freight services
:05:26. > :05:28.do it all. It will give you the opporttnity
:05:29. > :05:32.to reach out to China, to new emerging markets,
:05:33. > :05:34.to South America, to India, It gives the opportunity
:05:35. > :05:38.for Scottish salmon, the biggest export out of the UK,
:05:39. > :05:41.to reach new destinations. The flowers and fruit in thdse
:05:42. > :05:46.boxes come here thanks Expansion means opening up lany more
:05:47. > :05:53.destinations like this. It gives stability, it makes us able
:05:54. > :05:56.to look to the future. Steve Bowles runs a Berkshire
:05:57. > :05:57.haulage company. The family business
:05:58. > :05:59.started in the 1950s. All their work involves frehght
:06:00. > :06:08.going in and out of Heathrow. It means that we know we can
:06:09. > :06:11.strongly expand, we can go out and buy a few
:06:12. > :06:13.more trucks, perhaps. The freight industry has
:06:14. > :06:20.argued that, in terms of global competition,
:06:21. > :06:23.we are already playing catch up China has built 50
:06:24. > :06:25.airports in five years. We are looking to build one
:06:26. > :06:28.runway in ten years. Shows a great difference in how
:06:29. > :06:31.we are looking at the world and how Heathrow is the UK's biggest port
:06:32. > :06:36.by value, dwarfing the goods that come in and out
:06:37. > :06:39.through seaports like South`mpton. With the vote to leave the DU,
:06:40. > :06:41.many feel that expansion is even more important to show the world
:06:42. > :06:44.that Britain is a trading n`tion Here's a final thought
:06:45. > :06:57.from Our Transport correspondent Paul Clifton who has been at Gatwick
:06:58. > :07:10.all day following events. The choice of Heathrow surprised
:07:11. > :07:16.though one. To be honest, it is the same choice that has been m`de every
:07:17. > :07:19.time during the 40 years th`t a new runway has been discussed.
:07:20. > :07:24.Businesses in the Thames Valley relished the thousands of jobs they
:07:25. > :07:30.believe will now flow westw`rds from a larger Heathrow. Gatwick @irport
:07:31. > :07:34.was handed no crumbs from the politicians' table. A second runway
:07:35. > :07:39.was barely mentioned to the relief of many people who live arotnd here.
:07:40. > :07:42.Now there will be a year of consultation and then the House of
:07:43. > :07:48.Commons will fought on it and then Wellcome detailed planning. There
:07:49. > :07:56.will be protests, legal challenges, it will be at least a decadd before
:07:57. > :08:01.any new runway is built. But after 40 years of debate, something really
:08:02. > :08:03.has changed today. Gatwick @irport is the clear loser.
:08:04. > :08:05.And there'll be more reaction to the expansion of Heathrow
:08:06. > :08:10.on BBC Radio Berkshire tomorrow morning from 7 with David Prever.
:08:11. > :08:13.A Dorset woman who has cysthc fibrosis says she's devastated
:08:14. > :08:15.that the hospital service she relies on is under review.
:08:16. > :08:17.Karen Pearce currently recehves care for the condition,
:08:18. > :08:20.which causes a build up of sticky mucus in the body,
:08:21. > :08:23.The trust says because of staffing changes it's likely there won't be
:08:24. > :08:26.a specialist consultant basdd there from the new year.
:08:27. > :08:28.It says it's working with University Hospital Sotthampton
:08:29. > :08:30.to ensure ongoing high qualhty care but Karen fears any change
:08:31. > :08:45.This is a service that I have been attending for six years.
:08:46. > :08:48.It is local, it is accessible, and it means that I can get timely
:08:49. > :08:54.Particularly when you are unwell, the last thing you want to be doing
:08:55. > :09:03.is travelling a 60-mile round-trip to another facility.
:09:04. > :09:05.Onto football and Reading h`ve been in action in the fourth
:09:06. > :09:08.round of the EFL cup against Premier league Arsenal tonight.
:09:09. > :09:19.The Royals lost 2-0 Tim Dellor is live at the Emirates stadiul for us.
:09:20. > :09:24.And Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain brace giving Arsenal recovered colfortable
:09:25. > :09:29.wind. A calamitous breakdown in passing on the edge of the own
:09:30. > :09:38.penalty box at 33 minutes. @rsene Wenger's team never looked troubled.
:09:39. > :09:42.For Reading fans, the wait goes on, 14 times they have met and 04 times
:09:43. > :09:43.Arsenal have won. The final score, 2-0.
:09:44. > :09:46.That's the latest thanks for being there, we'll be b`ck
:09:47. > :09:48.with bulletins in BBC Breakfast but now here's Alexis Green
:09:49. > :09:58.We are looking at some mist and fog patches and the Met office has
:09:59. > :10:01.issued a yellow warning. It may become widespread in the early
:10:02. > :10:06.morning. The temperature dropping in the countryside to around sdven
:10:07. > :10:10.Celsius. These are the valuds in towns and cities. Tomorrow lorning
:10:11. > :10:15.for the rush-hour drive to work there will be some dense fog.
:10:16. > :10:20.Visibility up to about 50 mdtres in some places and the mist and fog may
:10:21. > :10:26.be slow to clear in some pl`ces and lingering until 11 in the morning.
:10:27. > :10:32.The odd stray shower and varying amounts of cloud and the high
:10:33. > :10:36.tomorrow off 16 Celsius. Today we saw a keen and prolonged periods of
:10:37. > :10:40.sunshine tomorrow mean a high of 17 as well. High-pressure conthnuing to
:10:41. > :10:44.build from the south-west through the course of our state and a
:10:45. > :10:49.settled day with light winds and lots of sunshine, varying alounts of
:10:50. > :10:54.cloud and maybe mist and fog patches. That is the theme dach day
:10:55. > :10:57.this week with mist and fog to start each day which may be slow to clear
:10:58. > :11:02.in places with light south-westerly winds. A high
:11:03. > :11:06.settled and on the mild side. Nick now has all the national weather.
:11:07. > :11:14.Hello. Autumn is the season of change, most noticeably with those
:11:15. > :11:16.autumn colours on display today in Buckinghamshire, as photographed by
:11:17. > :11:19.one of our weather watchers. Always helps when there is blue sky above.
:11:20. > :11:22.Our weather is always changing regardless of the season. One of
:11:23. > :11:27.those changes is taking place, we are losing last week's Easterly
:11:28. > :11:31.winds and now a westerly wind. That means it's turning milder by day and
:11:32. > :11:35.night but it does mean the return of Atlantic weather fronts, especially
:11:36. > :11:40.to north-western parts of the UK. The reason, high pressure in Germany
:11:41. > :11:43.and low pressure Iceland. Here is the first of those weather fronts
:11:44. > :11:48.for Scotland and Northern Ireland through the night, the first part of
:11:49. > :11:49.tomorrow. There isn't a huge amount of rain associated with this. Could
