Take a look at the "introduction to referencing" link above and get familiar with how to create references. You might want to look at the page source for the airport article to see how others have done the referencing. And of course you are welcome to ask for help. Remember

The url= parameter will be the https address of the article. If you're reading via the news app then you'll need to hit the share button to copy the URL
The title= parameter is easy - it's the title of the article at the top
The work= parameter is "BBC News"
The date= parameter is the date of the news article - typically at the top of the page
title= Tom Hanks' debut novel lifts lid on movie industry, and his on-set behaviour
work= BBC News
date = 9 May 2023
access-date = 9 May 2023
If you want to get advanced, then because this article has a named author you could add
first1 = Rebecca
last1 = Jones
Now, bring all that together and you get <ref>{{cite news | url = https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-65404525 | title= Tom Hanks' debut novel lifts lid on movie industry, and his on-set behaviour | work= BBC News | date = 9 May 2023 | access-date = 9 May 2023 | first1 = Rebecca | last1 = Jones}}</ref>
Hope that makes sense? Mobile does make it more difficult, yes, but not impossible. But using a mobile is not an excuse for not doing references. It's not optional.
