Description

Europe's busiest airport may be adding a new wing, as the Chancellor suggests the possibility of a third runway at Heathrow. 

An announcement is expected next week for the London airport, as part of plans to boost the UK economy. 

Clean up is underway across the UK and Ireland after storms left millions of people without power. Two people died in separate incidents when their cars were hit by falling trees.

UK and Europe Correspondent Gail Downey joins the show to discuss these issues and the second storm heading their way.
