to ensure heathrow airport was closed down. there were people inside your own organisation who said hang on a minute, that is not what we are about. you have to consider strategy in a way that you're not doing. the fact of the matter is, with the aviation industry and the whole carbon economy, all this activity is bringing us to destruction. there's people in extinction rebellion and other networks who is an act of conscience are going to be taking action against that. i'll give you a quote from somebody, i don't know if you know him personally, but simon mckibbin, a lecturer at cambridge university, joined extinction rebellion and now left, specifically horrified and upset by your plan to shutdown heathrow with drones and he said threatening to fly drones into a busy essbase is a departure from the ethics of nonviolence and it threatens people and puts people at risk. he said i believe if this is permitted to go ahead we'll lose the goodwill of the public. why do you persist with this? because we're facing mass starvation, and

strike action called off at heathrow and there are other strikes planned. lots of people have been affected, so what have people gotten from the strikes that were cold? it hasn't beena strikes that were cold? it hasn't been a great week for aviation, it has to be said. and a lot of people who might have flights booked, might be on the hook. the heathrow strikes have been delayed until the 23rd and 24th. 50 have been delayed until the 23rd and 24th. so you still do have some is that our rights when it comes to strike action, but that is only if the airline is responsible for the strikes. if it is the airline's own staff on strike, then you are entitled to compensation and that is quite considerable. but if it is something like heathrow, it is the ground staff who have been striking, it is really only the airline's responsibility to get people on another fight as soon as possible. my inbox has been heaving this morning from people who have panic booked other fights with other airlines thinking they would be cove red. airlines thinking they would be covered. u

i went to see this all that heathrow this week. in this experimental line, they were saying, leave that stuff in the bag. the line was travelling through much, much faster. it enables people to get through faster. plus, when you look at the security side, it is much, much safer. you can take the bag and turn it around on the screen and sly set like a ct scanner, it is therefore much better for security, as well. so it does not take away the need for cheques, but they need not be so intrusive. i suppose at times they would need to test what is in the bottle. that's exactly it. i saw on the screens that happening almost automatically, it was flagging up things that they wanted to have two search icon. they can actually tell what liquids are in there. because they can turn it round and sliced it, they can see what the battery is made of, all this kind of stuff. the flow of people through means that in future, the queues will be much lower, much faster for security i think it is an important signal as we leave europe on the 31st of oct
