0:33This is your Times Radio News Briefing for the morning of Monday, the 5th of October. Green Party leader Zak Palanski has been barred from entering Israel after members voted to define Zionism as racist. Senior Greens, including the party's first MP and former leader Caroline Lucas, have warned that Jewish members of the party will feel scared and unwelcome after the vote. Ashok Kumar is a Green Party member and the spokesperson for the Zionism is Racism campaign, and told Times Radio that he acknowledges that some people will feel that the Green Party is no longer for them. If people who share the ideology of Zionism feel like maybe the Green Party isn't their home, this is part and parcel of political parties and platforms.

1:16Certainly, if I was a trade unionist, maybe I wouldn't feel at home at the Tories. Or if I was a migrant, I might not feel at home in reform. The Conservative Party has unveiled plans for what it calls the most ambitious deregulation project in a generation. Speaking at the party's conference in Birmingham, leader Kemi Badenoch warned radical steps are needed to boost living standards, Proposed measures include ditching green rules on new-build homes, abolishing natural England and backing a third runway at Heathrow. Conservative MP for Broadland and Fakenham Jerome Mayhew told Times Radio that the country needs to be able to make big decisions like this.

1:53How long do we need to take to decide whether or not we need a third runway? It's been going on for 50 years. We've just got to take a decision and implement it. And I fully support if the decision is to get the third runway at Heathrow up and running, let's just get it done. The Pentagon has confirmed that all US Air Force bombers stationed at RAF Fairford have now returned home to America following a suspected terror plot there. A Pentagon spokesman said that the redeployment comes as counterterrorism police in the UK investigate the incident in Gloucestershire, which Andy Burnham warned had strong indications of Iranian links.

2:30Robert Fox is defence editor for the Evening Standard and told Times Radio that the US are also looking at the security arrangements at other RAF shared bases. Fairfoot is one of 12 shared bases between the RAF and US forces and they are very important indeed. And so they're not kicking that into the long grass but it has been made clear tonight that they're also looking at security arrangements at Mildon Hall and Lake and Heath in East Anglia, which are very important strike aircraft bases. Two boats carrying a number of migrants have entered Portsmouth Harbour. Some protesters standing on the pier at the marina in Gosport shouted, send them back as the boats arrived, as well as insults and threats.

3:15Protesters on Hasler Road started chanting shortly after. This comes as Gosport MP Caroline Dynage had earlier confirmed that emergency services were preparing for all eventualities amid the local protests.
