Heathrow third runway: 'Most of the village would be demolished'
"Three-quarters of the village would be demolished. It wouldn't be a viable community. Pubs, the shops will go because there aren't enough customers.
"The bus won't come up on the main road because there's a runway in the way. It's a lose, lose, lose all round."
Justine Bayley lives in Harmondsworth, a village in Hillingdon in west London, which would be partially demolished to make way for a third runway at Heathrow Airport.
She told BBC London the expansion plan isn't "realistic" when the mayor of London has pledged to reduce pollution and noise.
"Sadiq Khan has been working very hard to improve both in London. We're actually part of London here and we'd like to see the improvements as well," she says.
"By putting lots more planes in the air and lots more cars delivering people to the airport, they all produce noise, they produce pollution."
Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, confirmed on Wednesday that the government supports a third runway at Heathrow Airport, saying it is "badly needed".
While Justine, who is part of campaign group Stop Heathrow Expansion, is against a third runway, others in London are in favour.
Some business groups say a third runway is vital to stimulate the economy and create new jobs.
John Dickie from BusinessLDN said the expansion of the airport was about competitiveness and connectivity.
He said: "Other cities in Europe and indeed globally are stealing a march on us.
"They're improving that connectivity, they're improving the number of cities they can connect directly and that makes it a competitive advantage for them and a competitive disadvantage for us, but it's more than just that.
"Anyone who's flown from Heathrow recently will know that the airport is absolutely full."
Will a third runway at Heathrow help UK growth?
What's the plan for a third runway at Heathrow Airport?
Will a third runway at Heathrow help UK growth?
Now the government has given the green light to a third runway, there are issues to consider around the cost, the environmental impact and the time it would take to build.
It's likely there would be a complex planning process that follows. It's also likely that environmental campaigners would challenge the plans.
Speaking to BBC Radio London as Reeves made the announcement Sir Sadiq Khan reiterated his previous opposition to the project, saying that noise, air pollution and climate change targets were his main concerns.
He said: "We have in London made huge progress in cleaning up our air – still one of the most polluted parts of London with air pollution is around Heathrow.
"Not withstanding my support for growth, I do not support a new runway in Heathrow."

More Chaos Plagues New Gaza Aid System
The distribution centers of the much-criticized new aid system for the Gaza Strip were mired in new chaos Monday amid conflicting reports over the weekend that Hamas had threatened to attack workers for the Israeli-backed group handing out food supplies. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a group set up to bypass traditional aid distribution, said Saturday that some of its workers had been threatened by Hamas, the militant group that led the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel and controls Gaza. On Monday, Hamas denied the accusations and accused the aid group of lacking neutrality. Shootings near aid distribution centers have killed nearly 50 people and wounded some 300 since the foundation began operations at the end of May. The Israeli military has acknowledged firing near people who had deviated from 'designated access routes' and who did not respond to verbal warnings. Gaza health officials say dozens of Palestinians have been killed trying to get aid. Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza has razed huge urban areas and forced almost all the enclave's 2 million residents to flee their homes at least once. Israel cut off deliveries of food, fuel and other essential goods to Gaza in March as a way to pressure Hamas, a blockade that ended in mid-May after almost 80 days. Aid groups and some Israeli military officers have warned that the restrictions have pushed Palestinians in Gaza to the bring of starvation. Israel has accused Hamas of diverting aid from humanitarian groups under the previous distribution system, which was managed by the United Nations across hundreds of distribution sites. The U.N. has said there was no evidence that the militants systematically diverted aid. Israel agreed to allow some aid into Gaza last month. Most has come through the foundation, which has four distribution sites that are operated by private American security contractors in coordination with the Israeli military. The U.N. and other aid groups have boycotted this system, and have accused Israel of using aid as a part of its military strategy. On Saturday, the foundation said it was 'impossible to proceed' with aid distribution because Hamas had threatened its staff. In its response Monday, Hamas said the foundation 'continues to spread canned lies' and called it 'nothing more than a propaganda front for the Israeli occupation army.' Yet even beyond the dispute over security threats and earlier attacks on civilians, the foundation's distribution work remained mired in chaos. After announcing the opening of one center Monday through its Facebook page, the foundation posted less than 20 minutes later that distributions were completed and it had closed. The comment section filled with angry reactions to the short notice and opening period. A second post said the foundation had closed another center 'because of the chaos of surrounding crowds, which prevented the safe delivery of aid.' The foundation then closed comments on its posts. Despite the reopening of some aid deliveries, international aid groups warn that Palestinians are still at serious risk of malnutrition. The distribution sites remain hard to reach for many Palestinians, particularly those in the north of Gaza. The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization said Monday that the average Palestinian was getting only about two-thirds of the necessary daily caloric intake. It added that continuing to impede aid flows could be classified as a war crime. This article originally appeared in The New York Times. Copyright 2025

Palestinians say Israel and its allies fired on crowd near Gaza aid site. Hospital says 6 killed
KHAN YUNIS, Gaza Strip — Palestinians say Israeli forces and allied local gunmen fired toward a crowd heading to an Israeli- and U.S.-supported food distribution center in the Gaza Strip early Monday. Gaza's Health Ministry said six people were killed. The gunmen appeared to be allied with the Israeli military, operating in close proximity to troops and retreating into an Israeli military zone in the southern city of Rafah after the crowd hurled stones at them, witnesses said. The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Israel recently acknowledged supporting local armed groups opposed to Hamas. It was the latest in a number of shootings that have killed at least 127 people and wounded hundreds since the rollout of a new food distribution system, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. Israel and the United States say the new system is designed to circumvent Hamas, but it has been rejected by the U.N. and major aid groups. Experts have meanwhile warned that Israel's blockade and its ongoing military campaign have put Gaza at risk of famine. Palestinians say Israeli forces have repeatedly fired toward crowds heading to the food centers since they opened last month. In previous instances, the Israeli military has said it fired warning shots at people who approached its forces near the centers, which are in military zones off limits to independent media. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the Israeli- and U.S.-supported private contractor running the sites, says there has been no violence in or around the centers themselves. But GHF repeatedly warns would-be food recipients that stepping off the road designated by the military for people to reach the centers represents 'a great danger.' It paused delivery at its three distribution sites last week to hold discussions with the military about improving safety on the routes. GHF closed the Rafah site on Monday due to the 'chaos of the crowds,' according to a Facebook site associated with the group. A GHF spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Heba Joda, who was in the crowd Monday, said gunfire broke out at a roundabout where previous shootings have occurred, around a kilometer (half a mile) from the aid site. She said the shots came from the 'dangerous zone' where Israeli troops and their allies are stationed. She said she saw men from a local militia led by Yasser Abu Shabab trying to organize the crowds into lines on the road. When people pushed forward, the gunmen opened fire. People then hurled stones at them, forcing them to withdraw toward the Israeli positions, she said. The Abu Shabab group, which calls itself the Popular Forces, says it is guarding the surroundings of the GHF centers in southern Gaza. Aid workers say it has a long history of looting U.N. aid trucks. GHF has said it does not work with the Abu Shabab group. Hussein Shamimi, who was also in the crowd, said his 14-year-old cousin was among those killed. 'There was an ambush … the Israelis from one side and Abu Shabab from another,' he said. Mohamed Kabaga, a Palestinian displaced from northern Gaza, said he saw masked men firing toward the crowds after trying to organize them. 'They fired at us directly,' he said while being treated at Nasser Hospital, in the nearby city of Khan Yunis. He had been shot in the neck, as were three other people seen by an Associated Press journalist at the hospital. Kabaga said he saw around 50 masked men with 4x4 vehicles in the area around the roundabout, close to Israeli military lines. 'We didn't receive anything,' he said. 'They shot us.' Nasser Hospital said several men had been shot in the upper body, including some in the head. Zaher al-Waheidi, head of the Health Ministry's records department, said six people were killed and more than 99 wounded, some of them at another GHF center in central Gaza. Israel has demanded GHF replace the U.N.-run system that has distributed food, medicine and other supplies to Palestinians since the war began. Israel accuses Hamas of siphoning off aid and using it to fund militant activities, but U.N. officials say there is no evidence of any systematic diversion. The U.N. and other humanitarian groups have rejected the GHF system. It says the mechanism is incapable of meeting Gaza's huge demands and that it is being used for Israel's military purposes, including its goal to move Gaza's entire population of more than 2 million people to the south of the territory around the food centers. Throughout the war, the U.N.-led network has delivered supplies at hundreds of distribution points around Gaza, meaning large crowds haven't had to trek for hours past Israeli troops to receive aid. Israel sealed off Gaza from all food, medicine and fuel at the beginning of March, shortly before it ended a ceasefire with Hamas. It began allowing small amounts of aid in last month, but U.N. agencies say they have struggled to deliver it because of Israeli restrictions, the breakdown of law and order and widespread looting. The war began when Hamas-led militants stormed into Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting 251. They are still holding 55 hostages, more than half of them believed to be dead, after most of the rest were released in ceasefire agreements or other deals. Israel's military campaign has killed over 54,900 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which has said women and children make up most of the dead. It does not say how many of those killed were civilians or combatants. The war has destroyed vast areas of Gaza, displaced some 90% of the population and left the territory almost completely reliant on international aid. Hamas has said it will only release the remaining hostages in return for a lasting ceasefire and an Israeli withdrawal. Israel says it will continue the war until all the captives are returned and Hamas is defeated or disarmed and sent into exile. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that even then, Israel will maintain open-ended control over Gaza and facilitate what he refers to as the voluntary emigration of much of its population to other countries, a plan rejected by most of the international community, including the Palestinians, who view it as a blueprint for their forcible expulsion.

TC Line calls for Monday, June 8, 2025
'What readers said' was appalling • I was shocked to see the 'R' word printed in 'What Readers Said This Week' on June 7. Our school district runs a big campaign every March to 'Spread the Word to End the Word.' Please adhere and promote. • The 'What Readers Said' section of the paper this Saturday was even more appalling than usual. Two of your commenters had no problem using the 'R' word or a variation of it, and then the TC Line printed it for even more people to read. As I said before in a TC call you chose not to print, if people want to see what others have to say about a Times-Call article posted on Facebook, they can swim into the effluent-filled waters of that social media platform themselves. Why waste column inches on this? Absolutely appalling. Government waste In the federal government, if inspectors general in government agencies would do their jobs controlling spending, there would be no need for DOGE. Government waste without controls. Next president The next U.S. president will sure have their hands full reversing all of Trump's revengeful, unlawful executive orders. ICE under Trump Protests in support of immigrants and their children have been nonviolent, whether at detention centers, ICE facilities, on the streets, and in Washington, D.C., where a few thousand marched from ICE headquarters to the White House. ICE under Trump is now sending out agents with full combat gear and with masks to homes of immigrants it incite fear. Immigrants, including those with legal status, are being detained and deported to highly dangerous places. Federal and state laws, as well as the U.S. Constitution, are being violated. This appears to be intentional, to invoke stronger responses so martial law can be used to suppress everyone's rights.
