:01:07. > :01:09.the expansion of Heathrow airport in London.
:01:10. > :01:11.The decision has been highly divisive with much political
:01:12. > :01:14.opposition and concerns about the environment.
:01:15. > :01:17.Heathrow Airport's new third runway won't open until 2025
:01:18. > :01:20.at the earliest but it will be built just north of the existing runways
:01:21. > :01:26.between these two villages which are set to be flattened
:01:27. > :01:33.It's already Europe's busiest airport - with 75 million passengers
:01:34. > :01:44.The next busiest was the airport in Paris, which saw 66 million
:01:45. > :01:46.passengers last year, followed by Istanbul at 62 million
:01:47. > :01:51.According to ACI Europe, more than 1.8 billion passengers
:01:52. > :01:52.pass through Europe's airports ever year,
:01:53. > :02:03.It is a hugely controversial decision here in the UK. Our
:02:04. > :02:10.political editor has been speaking to the Transport Secretary.
:02:11. > :02:16.I have taken a decision that we believe is in the best interest of
:02:17. > :02:20.the UK and that will send a message and create the regional connectivity
:02:21. > :02:23.that will demonstrate far the whole country that we are governing body
:02:24. > :02:28.for country and this is about what is best for Britain. Can you
:02:29. > :02:32.guarantee this is going to be built? Goal we will not shy away from what
:02:33. > :02:36.is best for Britain. We will see this through. Yes, there will be
:02:37. > :02:39.challenges on the way but this is a decision that has been taken after a
:02:40. > :02:43.lengthy process, a detailed analysis, much consideration. We
:02:44. > :02:47.believe this is the right decision for Britain. That was the Transport
:02:48. > :02:51.Secretary. The Government is not united on this issue, though. The
:02:52. > :02:55.Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, was against expanding Heathrow when
:02:56. > :03:00.he was Mayor of London. This is what he had to say. If and when a third
:03:01. > :03:03.runway were to be built. I don't think it will be, but suppose it
:03:04. > :03:07.would be, there would be an overwhelming clamour to build a
:03:08. > :03:14.fourth runway by the end of completion. And then what would
:03:15. > :03:17.London be like? You would have a new York City of beautiful skyscrapers,
:03:18. > :03:23.Paris the city of light, London the city of planes. Those in favour of
:03:24. > :03:26.future's expansion claim it will produce thousands of jobs. Our
:03:27. > :03:31.transport correspondent Richard Wescott reports.
:03:32. > :03:39.Heathrow is always at full throttle. Planes take off and land every 90
:03:40. > :03:45.seconds. From 430 in the morning till long into the night. They can't
:03:46. > :03:49.squeeze in more flights, so today it has been cleared for expansion. It
:03:50. > :03:53.is vital for the whole country that we connect all the UK to the growing
:03:54. > :03:58.markets of the world. That is what the drug does. And we have been
:03:59. > :04:04.missing out by not having more flights from Inverness and Liverpool
:04:05. > :04:08.and Newquay to the UK boss Mike Hub airport and on to the emerging
:04:09. > :04:13.markets. It is not just about emerging markets. A quarter of you
:04:14. > :04:19.dash-mac the UK's exports leave on planes from Heathrow. This freight
:04:20. > :04:23.firm says they are so short from flights, they're having to ship
:04:24. > :04:28.business to foreign airports. Expansion is vital. It is going to
:04:29. > :04:31.open up new markets. It is going to present -- prevent cargo leaving
:04:32. > :04:37.from Heathrow on drugs each day out to European airports. We can bring
:04:38. > :04:41.it back into the UK and process it and put it on flights leaving from
:04:42. > :04:45.Heathrow. It is estimated the new runway will eventually create nearly
:04:46. > :04:52.77,000 new jobs and boost the economy by ?61 billion over 60
:04:53. > :04:56.years. That is a new mutt cautious Government figure, much lower than
:04:57. > :05:00.previous estimates. But the road and rail improvements could cost ?5
:05:01. > :05:04.million. It will have to come from the taxpayer, and some fear oxygen
:05:05. > :05:17.mag fears could rise to pay for it all. -- Fouts. Both fares are a
:05:18. > :05:22.concern for the UK's biggest provider. It is going to be a daily
:05:23. > :05:28.task and fight right throughout two make sure that airlines get value
:05:29. > :05:32.from the airport in relation to this because the airport has a history of
:05:33. > :05:36.inflating investments or that it inflates its reward. We can't allow
:05:37. > :05:41.that to happen. This isn't a firework display. It is a traffic
:05:42. > :05:45.control over south-east England, the most complex our on earth. An extra
:05:46. > :05:50.quarter of a million flights will mean more noise and dirtier air. Air
:05:51. > :05:54.pollution across the UK is damaging the health of thousands of people.
:05:55. > :05:58.It is known to cause over 40,000 premature deaths across the UK and
:05:59. > :06:02.it is particularly serious in hotspots such as can be found around
:06:03. > :06:05.Heathrow. So we really desperately need the Government to take
:06:06. > :06:08.immediate action if they really think that it is important to
:06:09. > :06:13.protect people but might help from the damage caused by air pollution.
:06:14. > :06:16.The Government has given the go-ahead but there is a lot of
:06:17. > :06:21.arguing to be done before any planes are doing this on a new third
:06:22. > :06:21.runway. That was our transport correspondent Richard Wescott
:06:22. > :06:25.reporting. Workers have begun dismantling
:06:26. > :06:27.the migrant camp known as the Jungle, in the French
:06:28. > :06:29.port of Calais. Buses have been taking migrants away
:06:30. > :06:32.from the camp for a second day - but there are new concerns that
:06:33. > :06:35.hundreds - if not thousands - who'd been living there -
:06:36. > :06:37.have gone missing. There are suggestions that many
:06:38. > :06:40.are planning to return - Our correspondent Lucy Williamson
:06:41. > :06:44.sends this report. The Jungle is emptying
:06:45. > :06:47.a little more each day. Far harder to know for sure
:06:48. > :06:59.where everyone has gone. Mohamed isn't planning on leaving,
:07:00. > :07:01.even though you can clearly see police vans from the water tap
:07:02. > :07:04.near his tent. When police broke into my home,
:07:05. > :07:15.I still stay in the tree. You're going to go into the
:07:16. > :07:19.woods here? There's talk of new camps springing
:07:20. > :07:23.up around Calais even before No problem, I go to
:07:24. > :07:31.another Jungle. Aid workers estimate that perhaps
:07:32. > :07:40.2,000 migrants have slipped away to sleep rough around Calais,
:07:41. > :07:43.or head towards other We've seen other people before that
:07:44. > :07:50.have escaped into the forest I think people will try
:07:51. > :07:54.and disappear, at least at first. And then maybe go on to other places
:07:55. > :07:57.like Normandy, and other places As the first empty shelters
:07:58. > :08:07.were dismantled, social workers, backed by police, went door to door
:08:08. > :08:14.encouraging residents to leave. Aid workers have told us that
:08:15. > :08:19.lots of people have left this camp and melted into the
:08:20. > :08:21.fields around Calais. The government says thousands have
:08:22. > :08:24.got on the official buses to leave. But there are still many,
:08:25. > :08:26.many people living here in the Jungle with no
:08:27. > :08:30.sign of leaving. But it's a reminder that
:08:31. > :09:02.as the numbers dwindle, How far into this process have the
:09:03. > :09:06.authorities got tonight? Well, day two of this operation to evict and
:09:07. > :09:10.relocate thousands of migrants has now drawn to a close. The queues
:09:11. > :09:14.have gone away and there have been no buses leaving for the past hour
:09:15. > :09:16.or so. We have decided listed figures from the French authorities
:09:17. > :09:21.who say that now in total over the past few days of this operation 4014
:09:22. > :09:24.migrants have been given shelter, so they had been through the processing
:09:25. > :09:28.plant behind me and have boarded buses and were taken to what they
:09:29. > :09:33.are calling welcome and orientation centres across France. They're also
:09:34. > :09:35.saying that today alone at 372 unaccompanied children have now been
:09:36. > :09:39.moved to a secure part of the camp and are now sleeping in shipping
:09:40. > :09:43.containers. Might not sound very nice, but much better and safer than
:09:44. > :09:48.the tents they had been living in before. Unaccompanied children have
:09:49. > :09:54.been a real cause for concern for a number of the organisations working
:09:55. > :09:56.on the ground here. Save the Children earlier today asked
:09:57. > :10:00.authorities to delay the demolition of the camp until they had been
:10:01. > :10:03.accounted for. It did not seem that that had happened, and as he saw
:10:04. > :10:07.from the report, demolition began earlier today. They started to
:10:08. > :10:13.dismantle parts of the cap by hand and then small builders --
:10:14. > :10:17.bulldozers came in to remove the debris from that area of the camp.
:10:18. > :10:21.We were in the cap an hour or so ago, and everything was calm. Some
:10:22. > :10:25.fires had been lit, some of them just bonfires and others where tents
:10:26. > :10:27.had been set on fire but in the last few moments, we have seen a number
:10:28. > :10:32.of police riot vans and fire engines move down towards the camp. We are
:10:33. > :10:35.about 500 yards from it at the moment. So the French authorities
:10:36. > :10:39.always said this would be a swift operation and it has been swift, but
:10:40. > :10:44.perhaps not quite as swift as they had intended. They been very clear
:10:45. > :10:47.about the fact that this camp will close and it will be cleared by the
:10:48. > :10:54.end of the week. But as you sock in the report, there are still at least
:10:55. > :10:57.1000 migrants living in the camp, some of them showing no sign of
:10:58. > :11:01.leaving just yet. The French authorities said that they will give
:11:02. > :11:06.everyone as much opportunity as they can to come here voluntarily, but
:11:07. > :11:08.they have sent that they will intervene if they have to. Thank you
:11:09. > :11:12.very much. You may remember the scandal that
:11:13. > :11:15.erupted in September last year when the German car giant Volkswagen
:11:16. > :11:17.was caught cheating has given final approval
:11:18. > :11:24.to a 14.7 billion dollar settlement. It means they can start buying back
:11:25. > :11:26.hundreds of thousands Our business correspondent
:11:27. > :11:42.Michelle Fleury is in New York. A huge sum. Is this the final say at
:11:43. > :11:47.least on this part of the matter? Well, I think is part of the matter,
:11:48. > :11:53.yes. This is the final say, if you like. It brings together regulators,
:11:54. > :11:58.lawyers for owners of about 407 to 5000 vehicles and VW. They
:11:59. > :12:03.negotiated a settlement and today the judge has approved it. Now that
:12:04. > :12:07.paves the way for owners of the affected vehicles in this particular
:12:08. > :12:11.instance. We're only talking up two later cars from VW here in America.
:12:12. > :12:16.They can now either sell back their cars to the company or opt to get it
:12:17. > :12:19.fixed. They will also receive some compensation for all the trouble
:12:20. > :12:27.they've been through. But this does not cover three later diesel cars.
:12:28. > :12:31.So that settlement or that agreement with owners of those vehicles still
:12:32. > :12:34.has yet to be reached. Yes, and it is only the United States we are
:12:35. > :12:39.talking about. Where is VW now with the other challenger faces in
:12:40. > :12:45.Europe, for example? We're heard from the EU yesterday urging the
:12:46. > :12:48.company to do more to try and fixed and address the concerns of
:12:49. > :12:54.customers in Europe. Part of the reason is that this scandal came to
:12:55. > :12:58.the surface in the US, so a lot of the focus has been there. I think
:12:59. > :13:02.that is why you're starting to see you ready later is making more
:13:03. > :13:06.noise. Of course, the company had been at the time that this all
:13:07. > :13:10.erupted into Demo 2015 trying to make an aggressive push into the
:13:11. > :13:14.American market to gain more market share. That has really had to be
:13:15. > :13:20.pushed to the side while it focuses on trying to address this issue on
:13:21. > :13:23.both sides of the continent and at the same time, the company has also
:13:24. > :13:28.lost its Chief Executive throughout this process. Michelle, we heard
:13:29. > :13:31.Volkswagen has set aside an enormous amount of money to deal with all
:13:32. > :13:38.this. Is the thinking that it may have to come up with even more? If
:13:39. > :13:43.you look at the settlement today, it is $14 billion. The company we
:13:44. > :13:47.understand has set aside around or up to $20 billion. At the same time,
:13:48. > :13:52.given how many more issues are still out there, it is hard to say whether
:13:53. > :13:56.they will have to put more money aside. There is the Justice
:13:57. > :13:59.Department here in the United States still investigating. A settlement
:14:00. > :14:03.may be reached there and that will involve more money. There are the
:14:04. > :14:07.sums that the company is paying to its dealers in America. There are
:14:08. > :14:10.lawsuits not just here in America but also in other parts of the
:14:11. > :14:15.world, so the final tally is still mounting. Thanks very much.

:21:48. > :21:52.Guildhall, we're in a few hours, we will find out who has won one of the
:21:53. > :21:57.world's most important literary prizes. It promises to be quite a
:21:58. > :22:01.party. 500 guests are expected from the champagne reception behind us
:22:02. > :22:05.and among them, the six writers short listed for the prize this
:22:06. > :22:08.year. One of them, this will be a career defining moment. I am
:22:09. > :22:13.delighted to say that we are joined by two of this year's judges. The
:22:14. > :22:18.actress Olivia Williams and the writer and academic John Day. Thank
:22:19. > :22:24.you for joining us. Olivia, you read 135 books as part of this process.
:22:25. > :22:27.Where and when? Everywhere. In bed. I would not speak to my family
:22:28. > :22:37.unless they had a candle stuck to their face. -- a reader structure
:22:38. > :22:43.their face. I would have read while cycling if I could have done. John,
:22:44. > :22:49.what made the six books that you selected for the short list stand
:22:50. > :22:52.out? It is hard to isolate any one particular characteristic, but we
:22:53. > :22:56.all felt that a prize like this rewards readability and the ability
:22:57. > :23:01.of a novel to sustain and reveal new parts of itself through multiple
:23:02. > :23:05.encounters. We have all read the short list of books many, many times
:23:06. > :23:09.now and that is the main quality which I think we are judging.
:23:10. > :23:13.Olivia, by all accounts you were quite a feisty bunch of judges this
:23:14. > :23:15.year, with people threatening to jump off bridges and are themselves
:23:16. > :23:20.out of windows and their book did not make the cut. Naming no names.
:23:21. > :23:27.So how did you go about picking a winner? We deferred to our very fine
:23:28. > :23:30.chairperson, Amanda Foreman, who ran a strict comment and no
:23:31. > :23:35.interruptions and run up onto the next judge and then we went to the
:23:36. > :23:38.full gamut of electoral possibilities from first past the
:23:39. > :23:42.post to proportional representation to how does this make you feel and
:23:43. > :23:50.how does this make you feel was the winner. And we all felt incredibly
:23:51. > :23:53.excited by the result. It is such an intriguing mix this year, John. You
:23:54. > :23:57.have some crime, thrillers, historical drama, even a bit of
:23:58. > :24:03.comedy. Tell me, does it come down to the best book or is it the best
:24:04. > :24:07.arguments by certain judges? Good question. Difficult to separate the
:24:08. > :24:15.two. Once we have exhausted all of our various voting methods, I think
:24:16. > :24:19.what we settled on was that visceral feeling of first encountering these
:24:20. > :24:23.novels and how they made us feel and how it felt to have with them for
:24:24. > :24:26.ten months and revisit them, so put forward all of our very nuanced and
:24:27. > :24:33.intellectually advanced arguments and settled on feeling. A very quick
:24:34. > :24:38.final question. Are you believed it is all over? I am still with the
:24:39. > :24:43.euphoria. Tomorrow morning, when my hangover sets in, I will be
:24:44. > :24:50.relieved, but right now I am very excited at being here. Yes, I think
:24:51. > :24:53.families will be excited. John day, Olivia Williams, 20 very much. We
:24:54. > :25:02.will bring you the announcement of the winner live in a special
