11:30 pm
white christmas amazing charity. white christmas gift for one dad, one charity and perhaps the nation's nations —— the nation's sausage roll makers. —— quite a christmas gift. and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers, michael booker, who's the deputy editor at the daily express, and the daily mirror columnist, susie boniface. that's coming up just after the headlines at 11:30. now it's time for the weather with chris fawkes. it's been another day with widespread shower activity. in between showers, we did see some showers, this was captured by days of the gardener in herefordshire. tending to become confined. we never get cold. not a bad start to the weekend in many respects. one of two
11:31 pm
from northern ireland, one or two the north of wales. the showers become aligned with the winds. cabbages bin nine and i2 become aligned with the winds. cabbages bin nine and 12 degrees the most. low pressure moving in. it's going to bring some big contrasts. coming from quite a long way north into the north of the uk. the contrast will build—up on sunday. getting into england and wales as well. across scotland, we will have the best of the day ‘s weather. in stornoway and aberdeen, coles was getting warmer in the south. it's getting warmer in the south. it's getting squished by this area of high pressure. that means we will see rain affecting wales. as
11:32 pm
pressure builds, the rain will becoming lighter and patchy in nature. always a fair bit of cloud across western areas, the best of any sunshine in the north and east that it continues to get colder here, temperatures five degrees in aberdeen. cooling down towards south—east england. the warmest air towards the south—west. that warmer airwill towards the south—west. that warmer air will push back northwards as we go into christmas day itself. along with that, low crowd across some western areas. for western areas, it stays cloudy. it's here we were have the best of any brightness on christmas day. hello. this is bbc news with carole walker. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. flights in and out of gatwick airport have resumed after they were briefly suspended earlier this evening — when a drone was spotted over the airfield. a remembrance service has taken place in lockerbie to remember the 270 people who were killed when pan am flight 103 was destroyed
11:33 pm
by a bomb over the town in 1988. there have been heavy losses in the us financial markets, with traders nervous over the likelihood of a partial government shutdown. and this year's christmas number one is a ladbaby‘s we built this city on sausage rolls — a parody of the 1985 starship song. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are michael booker, who's the deputy editor at the daily express, and the daily mirror columnist, susie boniface. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in — with the gatwick flight chaos featuring on many. transport secretary chris grayling is underfire in the times —
11:34 pm
the paper claims that he put laws regulating drone use on hold despite being made aware repeatedly of the risk they posed to airports. the nightmare before christmas — the i reports that there have been five near misses at gatwick in the past five years and police have "identified persons of interest". catch me if you can — the daily mail reports how the drone saboteur is taunting police by flying his aircraft over the runway again. the guardian reports of how a growing anti—vaccine movement in europe — mainly fuelled by social media, may be blame for a 20—year—high in measles outbreaks. trump's standoff with congress over funding for his us—mexico border wall features on the front of the ft, with the markets taking a grim reaction to the prospect of a government shutdown. amber rudd lashes out atjean—claude juncker in an exclusive interview in the telegraph, saying the european commission president
11:35 pm
had "manhandled" theresa may at last week's summit. the sun features the remarkable story of a builder finding a 76 million pound winning lottery ticket in his van six weeks after the draw. and that story also in the express — reporting that the man, who was from lincolnshire, had tucked the ticket behind his sun visor and forgotten about it. so the newspapers, once again, dominated, not surprisingly, by the chaos at gatwick. let us kick off with the daily mail. a stark headline, catch me if you can. with the daily mail. a stark headline, catch me if you canm with the daily mail. a stark headline, catch me if you can. it is the growing maniac, whoever he or she or they may be, it is what most people will be worrying about, who is it who is doing this, what kind of person does it, and what are they
11:36 pm
getting out of bed? —— drone. the claims from some of those in authority that it is sophisticated is usually the claim for things they can't figure out. being an ecoterrorist, i can't quite see what they are getting out of it like causing an airport shutdown.” they are getting out of it like causing an airport shutdown. i am not sure either. based generally don't go for a high—tech solutions, they sit in a tree and stop fracking and other things. normal people, the only people, the usual group of people who are used to using commercial drones for flouting the law and numbing exactly what the law is and where they can get around it, and for being within a community where perhaps they are not used to, 01’ where perhaps they are not used to, or they are used to having it not discussed outside that community and are very protected and therefore there is no gossip about what they are doing, our career criminals. people delivering drugs to prisons
11:37 pm
and so forth. that is what most commercial drones used for. why would they go freelance into buzzing around airports? it is difficult to see what they are gaining out of this exercise. unless they did it to start with thought let us try again. this is upsetting people. they still can't get it. this guideline is perfect for the. no—one knows who said that. —— for this story. they said that. —— for this story. they said there is a shortlist of potential suspects. we have no detail that. this is what has been fed out there. the police are doing something. no—one has a clue. that is the problem. the daily mail have gone dramatic with their coverage of it. it reads like a boyzone thrill of. all like hard. they call it the drone saboteur —— boeree split was owi'i drone saboteur —— boeree split was own thriller. it is extraordinary given the large numbers of police the troops have been brought in,
11:38 pm
there do seem to be means of tracking some of these drones and the way they are being operated, it does seem extraordinary that whoever is behind this is playing this game. lam nota is behind this is playing this game. i am not a massive conspiracy theorist, believe you me, but it does seem as if they are not telling us does seem as if they are not telling us something. obviously they have to keep something back because it is a criminal investigation. why having to shut it down is one that has been set a lot. why haven't you got something to stop it? it seems to for most of the day. they can't see where it is landing either. they are not so common in the sky is that you cannot see one landing someone's back garden. it is elsewhere in here that the army has had to borrow some of this kit from a private contractor. i am relatively certain from some of the people i have known within the armed forces, there would
11:39 pm
be people within our intelligence services, within the armed forces, who have the ability, in moments, two find who is responsible for this, to track it, stop it, bring it out, and make sure it is not a problem any more. they are not the ones currently tasked with doing this. they started off with the sussex police. they moved it on to whoever the ministry of defence has managed to get shipped in. the pictures from the airport seems to show a lot of people standing around with their hands in their pockets. there seems to be some box ticking and health and safety going on. there seems to be some box ticking and health and safety going onm is hard to understand why those people had not been involved will stop or if they are... we have specialists who can do this. the telegraph, its take on the story says that police at home in on the identity of the gatwick drone attack. you wonder where that comes from —— attack. attack. you wonder where that comes from -- attack. i hope it weights from -- attack. i hope it weights from tomorrow so that we can see someone from tomorrow so that we can see someone being pulled out of a dingy little bedroom near the airport ——
11:40 pm
waits for. i do not have the confidence. given it has taken three days and we are still no clear. as we we re days and we are still no clear. as we were leaving the office to come here they were being buzzed again. it seems no—one has a handle on this at all, despite the great kit we we re at all, despite the great kit we were reading about in the papers, something has come over from israel, something has come over from israel, something that does not work properly that they were using in syria to track various drones over there. we have all this great kit will stop it does not seem to be working. the problem with the 21st century, we are surrounded by technology, to put ourfaith in it, that it will solve our problems, he we have a high—tech 21st century king, a drone that has cameras and lights and carlen buzz gatwick‘s control tower and it appears that you either have the army doing something so high—tech it is not working or the tech is somehow letting us down —— and that can buzz. all we're doing it in a low technology way and policeman leading appeals spotting these guys to see
11:41 pm
can see appeals spotting these guys to see can see it. and suggestions that the drone was circling the control tower and flashing lights defiantly at the police. defined drones. if it is that closed how do they know when to flash the slats? —— defiant. it seems we are enjoying some of this. there are people in gatwick not enjoying it at all. it has been written like a boyzone thrill of. —— boy's own thriller. the sun has an extraordinary details on this. saying there is someone who appears to have been the suspect. yes there is an engineer. he was going out to a party with his wife and was driving along a country lane not far from gatwick and saw a man in a high vis jacket with a big thing with
11:42 pm
lights and arms, he described that, he said it was a drone. it was time to put in a rucksack. he saw him cycling off with this. the problem with this it may be a genuine eyewitness account of what he saw and he may be entirely right. this kind of story when no—one is sure what is going on, you get a lot of chinese whispers and things that get twisted slightly in the retelling. people are looking for things that are suspicious that aren't necessarily. if this is the drone maniac as you persist in calling him, then why is he wearing a high vis jacket, four health and safety reasons? why would you want to be seen? we have lights, someone on a bike, a rucksack. it sounds like someone has watched et. it has gone very science fiction the weight some newspapers are reporting it. we enjoyed writing the sort of stuff on reading the sort of stuff, but
11:43 pm
getting back to the serious point there are a lot of people suffering for this. one day one of these drones will bring down a plane. that is the big fear throughout. the reason might so many planes had been grounded. many people have been stuck on planes, others diverted to other airports, all kinds of christmas plans disrupted. the transport secretary, chris grayling, not for the first time, under pressure. i think many people are questioning why it more restrictions we re questioning why it more restrictions were not in place, more laws were not in place, more measures in place to prevent a drone causing such chaos. i think it is the laws governing the sale of them and the manufacture of them would have some sort of effect, whether it would have had is an effect, other laws, whoever is doing it is a criminal anyway. any new laws which chris grayling may or may not have shelved would not have had any effect, but
11:44 pm
labour have come out fighting in the times as saying there were these plans, he shelved them, again it was because of things such as braces and that has taken over so much time in parliament that these things get kicked into the long grass and things are not getting done. it can be said about a lot of things in this country at the moment. we have taken our eye this country at the moment. we have ta ken our eye off this country at the moment. we have taken our eye off the ball in many ways because brexit has taken up so much time. going back to the point, chris grayling has survived trains this year. he might survive this, even though it took in 20 hours to make a statement... let us see what he can do. i don't remember labour screaming and shouting about drones six month ago. as the opposition, you do use these occasions. we are fully aware, about drones being used to supply contra band fully aware, about drones being used to supply contraband to prisons. and pilots and pilots unions have been warning about this for a long time as well. the airports have been reporting repeated incursions into theirair reporting repeated incursions into their air space. they are created by private companies, they don't have
11:45 pm
to be told by the government to have an issue about something.“ to be told by the government to have an issue about something. if they wa nted an issue about something. if they wanted to put up the kind of softwa re wanted to put up the kind of software or infrastructure in their airport that would do something to block this, if there is any such thing, they could and should have done it before. it's too late, isn't it? we have it's too late, isn't it? we have guy it's too late, isn't it? we have guy involved. equal opportunity, it is. it's not going to stop someone like that. if you really have the will to do it, you will do it whatever the law is. you can do it with a model aeroplane. let's look at some of the other stories. the financial times talking about the market is heading for a bleak year and is donald trump fights for a border war, for a bleak year and is donald trump fights fora borderwar, in for a bleak year and is donald trump fights for a border war, in part because of concerns about the shutdown of the us government. wall street heading to its worse
11:46 pm
december. donald trump has long said the strength of the economy is the thing which is one of the great standards. he's having a rough time at the moment. america looks as though it's going to take a bit of a dark turn as well. around this time of year, there are things with the stock market. it does go down, it's a bit more erratic than normal. but it's a big sign that things are looking into a great thing. when he first went to the white house, all the economists said, if you are going to cut taxes, you will have a short—term boom in the economy. you are going to have a depression, you're going to have a burst. at the same time as you have half a dozen
11:47 pm
associates. yet michael flynn, this week, he was told, your sentence is going to be put on ice until we know. rush hour, miller. it's all building upa know. rush hour, miller. it's all building up a head of steam ahead of trump and you can see his tweets as he does from the toilet at six o'clock washington time, getting increasingly angry. the administration losing dozens of key allies but it does look as though this concern now have the budget, over the economy could be really serious news. your idea of the shutdown as well. it sometimes plays into his hands. it seems to happen quite a lot in america. he is wanting to build this wall. his big
11:48 pm
rump of support, still seems to support him. it does take those jobs away he has been saying he is protecting. will got a lot of other stories to try and fit in. go back to the telegraph which has lasted blast at eu chiefjuncker. amber rudd having a real go. this goes back to theresa may having a go at juncker. amber rudd has an issue with the way he was manhandling the prime minister and the way he ruffled a woman's hair at an event, saying that when she is to go to the eu for meetings, she would make the point of having a terrible cold sure she would not be drawn into these big bear hugs. we have this week in which theresa may has allegedly been called a stupid woman byjeremy
11:49 pm

11:50 pm
would be negotiating britain's future. when you see a guy doing it. it is wrong what he's doing. how he has got any power and do this sort of thing, it beggars belief in the current environment. the fact he has taken ——it has taken a week for a senior politician to say that. they are plated amber rudd for saying it. she is also stepping it up a bit. it isa she is also stepping it up a bit. it is a story that has been done and dusted. moved onto something else. she's come back and talked about him manhandling the prime minister. this could further profile. it's not going to do any harm to her case. she is seen as somebody who is very pro—european. also somebody prepared to stand up. that might help her prospects in the future. what is a majority? she is policy and her
