heathrow is full today. what is actually happening, madam deputy speaker, is that we are seeing business leave the united kingdom and go to airports like frankfurt, amsterdam, paris, that have made additional capacity provision. this proposal for a third runway at heathrow was first published in 2002. hong kong published theirs in 2011, theirs will be built within five years. if we are to remain internationally competitive, does my right honourable friend not agree that we should get on and build it? i know it is not on the cards, but i would support a fourth and fifth runway, actually, at heathrow, and at gatwick. if you were asking me to come up with the most backward—looking, ill—thought—through, poorly bottomed out, badly articulated, on a wing and a prayer, bad value for money, most polluting airport plan i could find, this would be it. 4,000 homes will go, 8,000 to 10,000 people forcibly removed from their community, the biggest forcible move of human beings since the scottish highland clearances

idiot left over heathrow, that would have been seen as quite credible but in the end he bottled it, he went abroad. he has now decided to two to, that his resignation would be pointless, better to stay inside cabinet since the decision about heathrow was already made but you could say the same about brexit? except i am not buying that. for now, you could definitely not say it. we are talking about collective responsibility. if you are part of the cabinets, and you cannot defend a cabinet policy, you have got to go. i wonder whether he has left it a bit too late. i don't know what's oui’ a bit too late. i don't know what's our credibility he can salvage from this. from some of the tweets to date and some internal tory politics, he has always been quite unpopular with his parliamentary colleagues. there is an element of jealousy i suspect, he commands headlines. he has an almost effortless ability to communicate. he does. i spoke to some backbenchers who said they had seen boris in london and in their constituencies and he can cut through to people. but we have seen some tweets saying

along with heathrow, nine other airports have scored good. three major airports have been told they must improve the services they provide disabled passengers. and for the second year in a row, manchester has been ranked poor. the only airport to receive the rating. following our report on bbc brea kfast following our report on bbc breakfast earlier this year we had a huge response on social media with many highlighting long waits to disembark and a lack of understanding from special assistant staff on how best to look after those with physical and hidden disabilities. we have manchester airport is poor this year, principally because waiting times have been too long. we have undertakings under place with manchester and they haven‘t performance plan to improve. what has been great about this report is that it has acted as a catalyst for improvement. so he‘s removed from poor last year to good this year with a on management time. and another removed up to very good this year. the department of transport say they welcome the progress made by

heathrow? nobody believes that, do they? that isjust brinkmanship? so no deal doesn't really exist, like brexit doesn't exist, it is a fa ntasy. brexit doesn't exist, it is a fantasy. i mean, the way it was sold to the british people. another brexit, leaving the eu, might be possible. no deal would probably meana possible. no deal would probably mean a temporary measure, temporary transition. of course, as we say in french, the temporary can last for a very long time. we already have a transition deal. of course. so it is not really the case now? we don't. because of ireland. just going through the separate elements...m is very helpful to do this, because people have lost sense of this over the months. the uk government agreed to the backstop idea in december, theresa may reiterated this to gold ta ps theresa may reiterated this to gold taps last march. she now says because of the arrangement zanni chequers agreement, which would know is going nowhere, we don't need a backstop and everything will be ok. the irish government and michel barnier are say

heathrow airport says flights are not affected. the former pakistani prime minister has begun a ten—yearjail sentence. he arrived back in the country last night from the uk. nawaz sharif was convicted in absentia by an anti—corruption court last week. but he says he's the victim of a political conspiracy that aims to ensure his party loses in the country's upcoming elections. secunder kermani was on the plane back to pakistan with him and has this report. nawaz sherif was met by a crowd ofjournalists as he boarded a flight heading to lahore. he knew that when he landed he'd be arrested. i know that i'll be going straight to the jail, of course. this is a struggle for the restoration of democracy in pakistan, for the restoration of sanity to the vote, and i am prepared to pay any price for that. sharif‘s supporters claim the real reason he was convicted is because the pakistani army want him out of power ahead of the elections. defying roadblocks, cuts to mobile phone service and pre—emptive arrests, thousands turned out in

at heathrow, the divers left quietly to resume their normal lives. they still insist they are not heroes. across the world, their skill and courage will not be forgotten. time to look at the weather. we have had some really heavy rain. there is plenty from the heaviest storms, but over the next few days, as the temperature is building, it ta kes ce ntre as the temperature is building, it takes centre stage. by sunday, you'll see highs hitting 31 degrees across eastern parts of england. we have had plenty of them today. a number of these affecting southern parts of scotland. showers across the peak district two, and a whole raft of downpours and thunderstorms working across from wales into southern parts of england. those showers came across the sky, the skies looked something like this earlier in the day. it was the second run that we saw some heavy showers. looking at this evening weather, the showers will still be with us for the next few hours and perhaps as you are thinking to head down for sleep, it will be pretty warm still. temperatures at 11

helped save 12 boys and their football coach who were trapped in a cave in thailand have arrived back at heathrow airport. they said the they weren't heroes, just a group of people who had a unique set of skills. one of them, john volanthen, who was responsible for bringing up to half the boys out, has been speaking to the bbc about the rescue, as robert hall reports. they had spent days in the total darkness of a flooded cave system. this morning, blinking in the flashlights, the seven rescuers arrived to applause from the crowd of well—wishers who had shared a drama replayed around the world. the skilled cave diving team you see before you are in a class of their own. when rick stanton and his colleague john volanthen emerged from the inky waters two miles from the cave entrance, they could hardly believe what they saw. how many of you? 13? brilliant. today, for the first time, he spoke in detail about that moment. we were swimming along an underwater passage, wherever there is a space, we passage, wherever there is a space, we surface, we shout, and also we smell, and in this case we smelt t

resigned or stormed out on that basis anymore that he's going to lay down in front of the doors at heathrow. she has called his bluff and the others very efficiently and they are now in a position where they have decided, one presumes, to stay within the organisation in order to influence its future direction which is exactly what they think we should not do —— they said we should not do with the european union. 8-ball this is right not only have they have acknowledged they cannot differ from that. this is where we are and continue to go. take us inside the times of the last word on this. their front times of the last word on this. theirfront page talks times of the last word on this. their front page talks about boris johnson, but there's also this series of images of what it is like inside chequers. there is no air conditioning, there are pictures in the mirror that show common pictures in the telegraph that show them having a discussion in their tiny windows better open a crack. they're worried about him jumping out and running away, obviously were trying to get mobile phone receptio

from the moment i landed at heathrow this afternoon all the way up heathrow this afternoon all the way up to coming into the bbc tonight people have come up to me and asked about donald trump being in town, they have asked why this is not a state visit, why is he not having a formal dinner with the queen, and what makes this trip different from some any others? there is a sense on the ground here in london today and across the uk that this is no ordinarily trip. so i guess the only time this slightly reminds me of is during the time of the president you served, george w bush, in the run—up to the invasion of iraq when anti—american sentiment was at its height and we saw huge protests against the invasion of iraq in the uk that we did not see in the united states. how much consternation was there in the white house at the strain the british american relationship was put under during that time? i felt it tremendously. we felt it after 911, that we were appreciated, pro mr blair coming overfor appreciated, pro mr blair coming over for several days but then appreciated, pro mr blair co

london's heathrow airport has released its latest half year results — and its seen a 2.3% rise in revenues. it's britain's busiest airport — and hasjust had permission granted to build a new runway. we asked the boss— john holland kaye — if he's preparing for a no—deal brexit. of course, that is something com pletely of course, that is something completely beyond our control, and unlike airlines and some other businesses, we cannot take our custom elsewhere. we are a large, fixed investment, we are going to be here, but the strength that we have is london, and the resilience of heathrow. so we are confident that we will be here, and thriving in the future, what happens on march the sist, future, what happens on march the 31st, of course, we don't know, but what we have been doing is taking responsible steps to protect our business through that time, and you will see through our results that we have been raising £1 billion of bonds to help protect us, so we do need to go back into the financial markets the two—year years. —— don't need to go back. as we make should that be th

at london's heathrow airport, someone, somewhere has got a list. on it, 90 names, russians, men and women — considered by the security services of this country to have had some part in activities organised by the russian intelligence service. espionage on a massive scale. every country has its intelligence services. some of them, to put it delicately, are more active than others. and in the case of the soviet union, their offensive intelligence services were way, way beyond anyone else's. we were getting increasingly fed up simply with the volume of soviet intelligence officers who were being stuffed into the embassy and the trade delegation in london. i recall at the time the security services, mi5, telling me that they couldn't actually keep an eye on such massive numbers of people. and i learnt, to my surprise, that it took about nine security men to follow one soviet espionage officer. and so we were on a losing game. we didn't know because of the sheer numbers, really, what they were up to. this man agreed to talk about his experiences with

it is surprising he didn't resign before now, he could have resigned over heathrow and many people would have thought that would have been an honourable resignation. i think today's resignation. i think today's resignation may have been coming for some time but i think it's been triggered by david davis more than anything else. i think borisjohnson has a single question to answer. david davis resign because it was his portfolio. he could not look michel barnier in the eye and believe what he was saying. boris johnson isn't negotiating with michel barnier, so it is a slightly strange one that it has come today. it's clearly designed to cause theresa may damage on further his own political ambition. stephen, what about the impression that is left of the government now in the public ‘s eyes, given that it is in charge of such a crucial process, which the majority of people in this country which the majority of people in this cou ntry voted which the majority of people in this country voted for and a process that will affect the lives of everyone whether they voted for it or not? it's not
