that question and it certainly shows that if you have too little regulation, if you have a department for transportkes the stronger case for more intervention and stronger regulation. both this government and previous government intervened on the east coast mainline to take a franchise off a failing private operator. and they ran it directly from government for a period of time untilfinding another operator. i would argue that in the case of the two railways that run my constituency, i would be all for the department for transport at least temporarily taking over from them and being responsible for them. you cannot have a train franchise when no trains run. thank you and good luck with the meeting. thank you. time for a look at the weather with nick miller. it has been a cloudy day for many. even where there have been sunny spells, there have been a few showers, some of them thundery. fading this evening. we are left with a mainly dry night. there could be drizzled from what will be extensive cloud just the further west you are, holding onto clear spells. some of us will go down to single figures,

the department for transport has said while the timing of this announcement is clearly u nfortu nate,ues... most people will share the point, train travel has obviously got room to improve and has done for years. but however, he has performed at the head of the country's most important bodies. this shouldn't detract from him serving at the top of the important public body or from his work in improving safety and modernising our rail network." i'm no expert on the rail network, i am just a passenger but if there's another signalfailure just a passenger but if there's another signal failure at bwlch, i will hurl myself in front of the next train! don't do that. infuriating they can't run the infrastructure properly. what he is being rewarded, i'm not sure. one of the biggest media jobs, most influentialjobs in the country perhaps, editor of the daily mail has come up this week. geordie greg. the guardian saying he has quite a job ahead of him. two sides to this story. what people think of the daily mail under paul dacre. he was never one for fax to create the story, he created the story

the department for transport acknowledged the timing was u nfortu nate.knowledged the timing was unfortunate. less controversially, player, manager and a figure who gave huge support to the hillsborough families, kenny dalglish, said he is hugely proud to receive a knighthood. for everybody that made a contribution, maybe even had to tell a few home truths about myself to get this far, and to come out and get the accolade, i've been awarded, is very humbling. imagine your bought a gold necklace and come christmas gave it to somebody else. oscar—winning actress and brighter emma thompson becomes a dame for services to drama. the troops have been firing indiscriminately. among the cbes, the award below nights and damehoods, bbcjournalist the cbes, the award below nights and damehoods, bbc journalist kate the cbes, the award below nights and damehoods, bbcjournalist kate adie. and author and broadcaster bamber gascoigne. becoming an 0be, gold—medal winning winter 0lympian museum lizzy yarnold. most honours have an two people for work in communities, people l

department for transport would not give it to us. give it to us. here, is it andy burnham standing up on the national stage? standing up on the national stage? the government out because that is myjob. myjob. lives, and they‘re being ruined at the moment. the moment. palace this morning is matt, and it was wild and stormy in places? was wild and stormy in places? it certainly was. certainly was. southern half of the uk, and usually so you could save this time of year. so you could save this time of year. continental europe in the summer but it is a bit early. it is a bit early. let me expect what has been going on. what has been going on. it is all due to the jet stream. due to the jet stream. pushes them on and keeps the weather changeable. changeable. but at the moment as you can see it is almost a split in two. can see it is almost a split in two. pressure patterns across western parts of europe. parts of europe. for several days, almost a week if not more. not more. those weather systems around, it‘s almost like we are in a roadblock. almost li

it contracts for disparity study for the department of transportation because that is a requirement toreceive federal funds and there are provisions the federal government assist with payment for the studies so dot regularly conducts studies but the state of georgia up to this point has not conducted them. >> thank you for the amazing talk. one of the things when i study martin luther king and his life i'm amazed at the organization and institutions he was able to use. i can't imagine all of the group of people these days being able to share cars to organize the kind of bus boycott and in the context of some of the institutions, religious and otherwise, labor unions and things like that that you talked about being broken up, what advice would both of you have to people in my generation and younger to keep some of these dreams and progress going in the context of institutions that might be going away or may not be what they were back in the day when dr. king was doing his work? >> leading up to different events of what we call the black freedom movement there's always institution buildi

also that the transport secretary, when he unveiled the legislation as proposal for heathrow, doesn't even mention climate change at all. there's a real sense in the department. he would lie down in front of the bulldozers were a new runway to be built. the london evening standard says it has obtained a letter from the foreign secretary to councillors in his uxbridge and south ruislip constituency. he goes on to say that heathrow will never be built anyway. it's a real question, isn't it? we have seen the usual questions surge and airbus over decades. there always seem to be more and more new problems. that is climate change one is going to look even more difficult if the uk agrees to do what it says publicly it would do, said internationally it would do, which is to stick to the paris agreement on climate change, which implies the uk will need to go even further than we are at the moment in terms of cutting emissions. that is going to put even more of a squeeze on aviation. if aviation tries to burst out from that, other sectors of the economy will have to pick up this like. things will not get easier for aviation and the emissions front, they will get hard

chris grayling is the transport secretary, he is in charge of the department for transport.o be worse than any of us could have predicted. we have people standing on platforms across the north of england waiting for trains that are not coming. this is bad for our economy, but —— bad for local communities and bad for the reputation of the north. as you identified, every service between oxen home and windermere in the lake district has been cancelled, at a time of school holidays. you said, we knew this would be bad in advance. did you say that then? yes, we knew, they were already having problems with the previous timetable operating it because they had chronic drivers shortages and an overreliance on overtime and they have had industrial relations problems for over 12 months. 20 days of strike action from the gods. they cannot comprehend how to run a rail service. it isn‘t free fall. i‘m afraid everybody is suffering and thatis afraid everybody is suffering and that is down to chris grayling failing to get a grip of the situation. this new timetable, clearly the introduction

the department for transport has not given the prime minister good advice... strong performance from28th ofjune, as promised, and she refused to say thatis promised, and she refused to say that is the case. meanwhile we hear that is the case. meanwhile we hear that a 4—page note of the government's backstop position in the event of no deal being reached before the uk leaves the eu having been circulated among cabinet members, so let's see what norman thinks of all that. lots to chew over, and what do i know, suggesting jeremy corbyn would never go on brexit, he goes on brexit. we get a sense of theresa may's difficulties, unable to say about white paper setting out their objectives would be produced ahead of eu summit. last week we were told it would be produced ahead of the summit and now the signs are towards delaying it, another thing emerging, it seems that mrs may, who for months has been walking a tightrope between the brexiteers and the leavers over what sort of customs deal she will reach, is now risking a showdown with the brexiteers following the circulation of this backsto

furthermore, department for transport hasn't published a comprehensive service access assessment so itcan the business case for expansion ensure passenger benefits are met? he said he will keep charges close to current levels. what sort of assurance is that? further uncertainties already drawn remain around the noise analysis and the flight around the noise analysis and the flight path modelling. it remains whether the revised version addresses these and other issues. he says he will encourage heathrow to work with communities about longer respite periods. what teeth are there in any of those proposals and promises? he claims about the benefits of new technologies, and they have to be based on real evidence and not some fanciful expectation of future advances. some of us haven't forgotten his empty promises on dual fuel the trains which he was told didn't exist. he says he intends and expects 15% of slots for domestic connections. how will that be secured? intentions and expectations and encouragements possibly not enough. it is imperative the government provide guarantees to this house

[applause] and that is why the institute is named the department of transportation number one in the administration for action form recently announced the department of transportation has already initiated over 100 t. regulatory actions, the most of any cabinet or agency in the government by far. [applause] consequently it is no coincidence that after a sluggish eight years america's economy is still on the project tree of strong economic growth. that means more prosperity and more jobs for more americans. consumer confidence is a 17 year high. 3 million new jobs have been created last year alone and in may 2018 the unemployment rate fell to 3.8% the lowest amount most 50 years. [applause] and this includes 300,000 new manufacturing jobs in three and 37,000 new construction jobs. gallup reports a record 57% of americans believe that now is a great time to find a quality job and in fact today there are more job openings then there are unemployed americans something that is never before occurred since these measures -- since these measures.

what is more, the figures now, the department for transport figures now show that the regional airporte only major in there who opposes this, the mayor of manchester opposes this because he knows it is bad for manchester airport and the north—west region. there is so much fallout from it, not least, jeremy corbyn who opposed it, paul mps supported it then backed him. what does that mean for your party? the problem is i know that heathrow airport did a very heavy lobbying exercise over the last few days and i took to people who felt very pressured, some who said if we have been whipped to oppose the government they would have no problem doing that. but u nfortu nately, if have no problem doing that. but unfortunately, if a lot of people are telling them that they must support the government, to two many did. iam support the government, to two many did. i am impressed and support the government, to two many did. iam impressed and number of mps from all around the country also realised that those, so many gaps with the government figures and that we know you can't hold the government. we

questions and like i said, the environmental impact, the questionable economic impact, the department for transportle but also on climate change targets, it in mission is, to the benefits outweigh the cost? yes, we think they clearly do. one point two make about the costis do. one point two make about the cost is that it is a privately financed piece of infrastructure and the cost is significant, £14 billion or so, at the airport has invested 12 billion in the last decade are breaking the terminal. it looks doable. in terms of compensation, there is an extremely large package, well above what the law requires that tries to mitigate that. how damaging other delays? this is 20 yea rs damaging other delays? this is 20 years in the making and we are not —— not much further forward getting it built, how damages —— damaging is that women look at our competitors in europe were smack it is damaging. those competitors are not hanging around, they are adding runways and adding capacity and eating our lunch. we are an island nation, the biggest and biggest comic busiest passenger nation in the world. it shows
