Eit I Tonight at Ten: More setbacks for the NATO-led mission in | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
Afghanistan. The Taliban has suspended all talks with the | :00:15. | :00:22. | |
Americans on finding a way ahead. And western forces have been told | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
by the Afghan government to pull back to their bases. Britain says | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
that this does not change the exit strategy. | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
We have to be clear that there is a plan in Afghanistan, to hand over | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
to a capable Afghan army, police and government at the end of 2014. | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
We will do that without a political settlement, or with a political | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
settlement. That is up to the Taliban. | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
We have the latest from Kabul on the response. Also tonight: In | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
Switzerland, the families of children killed in Tuesday's coach | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
accident have been visiting the scene. A review of placing in | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
England and Wales, recommends radical change, including filetness | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
tests. 23 years after the Hillsborough | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
football disaster, secret documents show that one police officer blame | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
drunken Liverpool fans. It is nonsense. The same old story | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
that the Liverpool fans were drunk and ticketless. I was neither. | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
There were thousands and thousands of Liverpool fans there. | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
COMMENTATOR: Manchester United are out of Europe... Manchester United | :01:26. | :01:33. | |

And why Matilda is waltzing away with all of the 234078 nations for | :01:38. | :01:42. | |

chelt knack festival as Big Bucks take his fourth World Hurdle. His | :01:51. | :02:01. | |
:02:01. | :02:10. | ||
16th win in a row -- Big Bucks. Good evening. The military mission | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
in Afghanistan, led led by NATO has suffered more sbs today. The | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
Taliban announced it was suspended talks with the American on try to | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
find a way forward, Hamid Karzai called on western forces to pull | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
back to their bases after an American soldier killed 16 | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
civilians at the weekend, but David Cameron has told our Political | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
Editor, Nick Robinson, that this will not lead to a change of | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
strategy. It all began here, almost 7,000 miles from Afghanistan. A | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
place where once Twin Towers stood, now a memorial, to the 2,983 who | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
died on a single day. David and Samantha Cameron remember | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
9/11, she was in New York, he in London. | :02:56. | :03:04. | |
For hours, he had no idea whether she was safe. | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
Katherine Wolf was not. Her death and many others remembered today, | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
triggered a war a decade old and not yet over. | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
Do you understand how some people seeing you here may say that so | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
much has been sacrificed for so little? Of course. Britain losing | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
over 400 of our soldiers. It is worth remembering why we are there, | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
this is the right place to remember it. Nearly 3,000 people, including | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
68 67 British nationals died here on 9/11. That terrorism was coming | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
straight out of Afghanistan, Pakistan, that area of the world. | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
But in Afghanistan, today, another setback for hopes of a political | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
solution. The Taliban announced that they were no longer prepared | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
to talk with the United States. The reason, they claimed, not the | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
burning of the coshan, nor the slaughter of 16 civilians by an | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
American soldier, but conditions, they said, were put down by | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
American negotiators. The Afghan President, Hamid Karzai, adding to | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
the pressure, telling the US Defense Secretary, to pull all | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
international troops back to their bases. Does it depress you now that | :04:17. | :04:24. | |
the talks between the United States and the Taliban e -- seem to be at | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
an end? We have to be clear to have a plan in Afghanistan, to hand | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
Dover a capable Afghan army, police and government at the end of 2014. | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
We do that with or without a political cementment. | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
Afghanistan has been the substance that has lain beneath the White | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
House splendour. Last night, the Obamas hosted a state dinner, | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
attended by the special relationships, the great and the | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
good. They dined on bias bias bias, they drank on the prays of one | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
leader for another. -- praise. | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
In good times and in bad, he is just the kind of partner you want | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
at your side. I trust him. He says what he does, and he does what he | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
says. I've seen his character. There are three things about Barack | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
that really stand out for me, strength, moral authority and | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
wisdom. He has pressed the re-set button on the moral authority of | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
the entire free world. A conSerb tiv praising Obama's | :05:28. | :05:37. | |
strength, in a country where con sefbtis derive their weakness. It | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
was their predecessors that began the war that started here it is be | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
fitting that David Cameron ends his trip to the United States here. | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
This gaping awe-inspiring black hole, all that is left of one of | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
the two Twin Towers. A reminder of the roots of the war which the | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
Prime Minister and the President are still struggling to end. | :05:57. | :06:07. | |
To find an end, with honour. Well, now, for the latest in Kabul, | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
the response and how they see what has happened today, let's talk to | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
Quintin Sommerville who joins us now. How do you see the impact on | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
the exit strategy pursued by the West? Well, two key parts of that | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
strategy, you know they lie in ruins. The plan was to fight the | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
Taliban on the battlefield and bring them to the negotiating table. | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
They refused to come, because they did not want to speak to Hamid | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
Karzai. They see him as illegitimate, they see him as an | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
American stooge and they refuse to talk with him. The Western | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
diplomats here say that the Taliban will never negotiate with Hamid | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
Karzai, for as long as he is in the presidential palace, there cannot | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
be anything approaching peace talks. The second part was that this was a | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
counterinsurgency, the foreign troops living among the Afghan | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
people, fighting for them and protecting for them. Hamid Karzai | :07:05. | :07:15. | |
has made it clear that foreign troops are no longer welcome. | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
Thank you very much. Now, the authorities in Switzerland | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
say that eight Belgium children who survived the coach accident in the | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
Fernch Alps are being flown home tonight. News came after a day in | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
which many of the parents of the 22 children who have died, visited the | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
crash site. The last year of primary school, | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
and photos of the annual ski trip to the Fernch Alps. Incensible that | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
such a fun holiday could this way. The village here has been welcoming | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
the group for 13 years. In the same hotel in which they stayed, another | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
party was boarding a coach today, the same company, a similar age. | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
The local mountain guide here, saw the children on that last fateful | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
day of their holiday. TRANSLATION: They were clattering | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
through the village, returning from the slopes. In a small village like | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
this one, every child feels like one of your own. | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
The coach crashed at the end of the winding mountain road, on the first | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
stretch of motorway and in the first tunnel. It has been a brutal | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
24 hours for the parents. They left their hotel today for the grim task | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
of identifying the bodies. And then, the crash site where | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
their children had died. We too were taken through the | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
tunnel to the spot where the coach had ploughed head on into a | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
concrete pillar. There were the flowers laid by the families and on | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
the wall the tributes. TRANSLATION: We have identified 19 | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
of the 28 victims, says the police manman here, but we are still | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
trying to identify the remaining nine. | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
The cause of the accident is still unknown. The investigation is | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
focused on the postmortem of the driver and what is left of the | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
vehicle. In this hanger, the crash | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
investigators are working through the wreckage to find out why the | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
bus swerved as it did. At the moment, there are more questions | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
than answers. There was no liquid on the road, no | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
ice, no other vehicle involved. The bus was new. Was it the driver who | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
suffered a catastrophic heart attack? Or was it just plain and | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
simple, driver-error? One theory that is emerging is that the driver | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
may have been handling a DVD at the time. If true it will only | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
intensify the grief. There was lots of that tonight at the service of | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
remembrance here in Sierra Leone, the church was packed. | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
-- in sore sore. The church was packed. In the congregation, the | :09:52. | :10:00. | |
policemen, the first toy arrive at the scene. The children prayed, the | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
parents held them closer and they cried. | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
An official report has called for radical changes to the way that | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
police in England and Wales are recuted, promoted and paid. The | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
changes are to include higher educational requirements to join | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
the force, lower starting salaries and Ann newel fitness test for all | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
officers. Some have welcome the plans. The main policing union, | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
called it a deliberate and sustained attack We have this | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
report. They call it, the job, but today's | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
reforms are based on the idea that modern police officers should | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
consider themselves less as blue colour workers and more as educated | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
professionals driven by performance-related pay and | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
stricter fitness regimes. At the start of this new police career, | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
the salaries will be lower. Currently �23,500, the Windsor | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
reforms would see them cut to nds19,000. After all, forces are | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
not short of applicants. Working their way up the pay scales | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
will depend on performance, not on times served. The type of recruits | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
will change. A job with currently no entry requirement, will require | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
higher educational standards. 80 graduates a year will be fast- | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
tracked to higher ranks, inspector and above, without having to pound | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
the beat as a PC. It is a complex environment. It | :11:25. | :11:32. | |
requires the most intellectually able people to have the qualities | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
which are as important as courage, self-control, the ability to assess | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
situations and dealing with people. Dealing with people means chasing | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
them, sometimes. The report concludes that not all officers are | :11:44. | :11:51. | |
as fit as they could be, so there has been fitness tests prescribed. | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
Anyone failing three times, feys a pay cut. Dismissal is an option. | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
Officers on the frontline are having a tough time, the summer | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
riots, the cuts and now the prospect of sweeping reform. | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
Many will see themselves losing tens of thousands of pounds because | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
of the first report and then this one. The police officers need it | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
live. They have certain commitments, they thought they would get certain | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
amounts of pay, that has been slashed. | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
Police chiefs wanted Windsor to go further, but Britain's top | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
policeman made it clear, that he supports the broad thrust of the | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
reforms. When the money is tight, and we | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
have to develop our talent and adapt to a new world. These are the | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
things that we have to in the least consider. It will take a lot of | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
talking and consensus-building, but I'm sure that we can use the ideas | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
to develop the police in the future. One thread has been that the police | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
have had it too easy for too long. One proposal, that they lose the | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
protection that they currently enjoy from being made redundant, | :12:59. | :13:06. | |
but the band that stops them going on strike, that is staying. | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
New evidence suggests that a further 7,000 women in the UK, many | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
have been given sub-standard breast implants, made by PIP. Around | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
47,000 women are now believed to have been given the implants. They | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
are filled with non-medical medical grade silicone. They are known to | :13:28. | :13:34. | |
be caused to rupture. 20 years after the Hillsborough | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
investigation, the BBC has seen documents that shows that the | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
police blame the situation on drunken fans. | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
An official inquiry found that the disaster, which claimed the lives | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
of 96 people was caused by poor crowd control by South Yorkshire | :13:52. | :14:02. | |
:14:02. | :14:02. | ||
It is almost exactly 23 years since the late up a cup semi-final turned | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
to disaster. Fans had gone to watch Liverpool play Nottingham Forest. - | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
- since the FA Cup semi-final. The crash happened after an exit gate | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
was opened on the orders of South Yorkshire Police and fans surged in. | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
The Taylor inquiry blamed a lack of police control. The then Prime | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
Minister, Margaret Thatcher, who toured the ground the next day, | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
seems to have been told another story. Radio 4's World at One | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
programme has seen leaked government documents. In one letter, | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
advisers told Mrs Thatcher about comments made by the then Chief | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
Constable of Merseyside Police, Sir Kenneth Oxford. He is said to have | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
believed that a key factor in causing the disaster was the fact | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
that large numbers of Liverpool fans had turned up without tickets. | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
This was getting lost sight of in attempts to blame the police, the | :14:54. | :15:04. | |
:15:04. | :15:10. | ||
Today, Merseyside Police said it was inappropriate to comment on the | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
contents of the letter. Peter Carney survive the crush at | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
Hillsborough and was upset to hear the police remarks within the | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
government papers. It is absolute nonsense, it is the same old story, | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
that Liverpool fans on that day were drunk and ticketless. I was | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
neither. Thousands of Liverpool supporters were not. The 96 people | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
who died are commemorated here at Anfield. Are their relatives and | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
others have long campaigned for full disclosure of all information. | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
In 2009, the Hillsborough independent panel was created. | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
Today's leaked government documents form just some of thousands of | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
papers that the panel is currently examining. Today, a spokesman said | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
that its work was complex and difficult, and they are expecting | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
to report back in the autumn. Nicholas was 27 when he died at | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
Hillsborough. His mother, Pat, is content to wait for the panel to | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
analyse all the documents, in the hope that the whole story will then | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
emerge. It is like a knife going into your heart and turning all the | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
time. Because it has been such a long time for us. Every so often, | :16:19. | :16:26. | |
these reports, or information comes out. And it is not the whole truth. | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
At Hillsborough, the dead are still remembered. 23 years after | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
Britain's worst ever sporting disaster, many say that the truth | :16:35. | :16:45. | |
:16:45. | :16:51. | ||
Coming up. It is two for sporting on the night! It is a bad night for | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
Manchester City. A joint Manchester United in being knocked out of the | :16:55. | :17:05. | |
:17:05. | :17:06. | ||
More than 8,000 people have died in the Syrian uprising in the past | :17:06. | :17:13. | |
year, during the latest estimates - - according to the latest estimate | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
from the United Nations. One of the victims killed was a 13-year-old | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
boy who was picked up by security forces. His family say he was | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
tortured to death. Our special correspondent has been speaking to | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
his relatives and the report contains some distressing images. | :17:29. | :17:37. | |
It is today a city of funerals, as the regime steps up the campaign | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
against its enemies. Burnt buildings mark the terrain of | :17:40. | :17:48. | |
battle. Yet it was here a year ago that the Syrian people overcame | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
their fear. In Deraa, the first large demonstration against the | :17:53. | :18:01. | |
Assad regime. At this mosque, the focal point of the demonstrations, | :18:01. | :18:07. | |
the cars of the secret police were chased away. Omar, he has asked us | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
to protect his identity, was there. You have that feeling, if you will | :18:13. | :18:20. | |
ask anyone, they will tell you, that time, we got a kind of freedom. | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
But freedom's ecstasy was short. On the same day, the regime hit back. | :18:26. | :18:33. | |
These sisters witnessed its brutality. TRANSLATION: One injured | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
protester fell to the ground. He tried to escape by crawling to | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
safety. But they apprehended him, and beat him up severely with | :18:41. | :18:49. | |
batons. I was watching all of this from my window. | :18:49. | :18:59. | |
:18:59. | :19:04. | ||
The girl's father filmed the But when I saw the level of | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
shooting and killing that we witnessed with our own eyes, we | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
decided to go out and protest against the killing and the | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
detention of children. The mosque became a place of refuge. A | :19:15. | :19:25. | |
makeshift clinic for the injured. Then, on the night of 23rd March, | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
the mosque itself was stormed. Above the gunfire, the cleric's | :19:30. | :19:40. | |
:19:40. | :19:43. | ||
Over the next month, the crackdown intensified. By 25th April, Deraa | :19:43. | :19:51. | |
was under siege. People from outlying villages March to try to | :19:51. | :19:58. | |
reach the city. 13-year-old hands are joined them -- marched to try | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
to reach the city. The march was attacked and the 13-year-old boy | :20:04. | :20:12. | |
was winded and arrested. -- was wounded. TRANSLATION: He was shot | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
in the lake and tried to hide behind an olive tree. The security | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
forces fountain, arrested him and began slapping him on the neck. | :20:20. | :20:27. | |
Then they put him in a car. A month later, his body was returned to his | :20:27. | :20:35. | |
family. His uncle was present. I looked at his body, which was | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
inches away from me, this small body that was subjected to extreme | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
horrific treatment, and hardly anything left intact, I felt pain | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
and taking in every cell. He was subjected to the most horrific | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
torture, they even cut off his he is. The government denies he was | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
tortured but the child became the icon of Syria's revolution. He is | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
among hundreds of dead children. Many others are intention -- | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
detention. Those fateful days in Deraa established a pattern that | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
would spread across Syria, of people no longer afraid, | :21:14. | :21:21. | |
challenging a government that would resort to ever more ruthless | :21:21. | :21:27. | |
methods to stay in power. The image is of a city locked into permanent | :21:27. | :21:35. | |
Argentina says it will take legal action against companies involved | :21:35. | :21:41. | |
in oil exploration in the Falklands. The Foreign Minister said that oil | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
development in the waters was illegal. | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
The UK Government said it supported the rights of the islanders to | :21:49. | :21:56. | |
develop their oil resources. Plaid Cymru has elected a new | :21:56. | :22:06. | |
:22:06. | :22:06. | ||
leader. She is lee Leeanne Wood. Plaid Cymru was in Government with | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
Labour until the national assembly elections last year. | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
None of us get everything right first time. I don't and I won't as | :22:15. | :22:21. | |
leader, but one thing we have always got right and always will is | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
that this party, our chief driver, will be the people in this land | :22:26. | :22:33. | |
that we love. Leannean Wood. | :22:33. | :22:40. | |
Football and it has been a bad night for both of the Manchester | :22:40. | :22:47. | |
clubs. Manchester United lost 5-3. City went out on the away goals | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
rules. Olly Foster watched the action. | :22:51. | :23:00. | |
:23:01. | :23:01. | ||
How about this for a party trick? Get it wrong and need a new short. | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
Bilbao put the tie out of Manchester United's reach. Bilbao | :23:05. | :23:11. | |
fluffed easier chances than that. Perhaps this defender was getting | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
bored at the other end because most of the action was at the Manchester | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
United goalmouth. Wayne Rooney did sign off with | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
something special, but beaten home and away over the two legs, | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
Manchester United returned chaseant after their European travels. | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
Manchester City will have heard that result by the time they kicked | :23:31. | :23:38. | |
off at home, but Sporting Lisbon wiped the smile off their faces. | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
Sporting scored another by half- time and it didn't appear a | :23:43. | :23:52. | |
Sporting contest for City. They got three goals. | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
One last throw of the of the dice saw the City keeper go for broke, | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
but City, like Manchester United, will put their blinkers on for the | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
final stretch in the Premier League and that could be a nailbiting | :24:04. | :24:14. | |

Ma Matilda the musical leads the race at the Olivier nominations. | :24:27. | :24:37. | |
:24:37. | :24:41. | ||
This is my second visit to Matilda. It is an astonishing show. | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
Have you come far? From Lancashire. Why this one? I don't know. My | :24:46. | :24:54. | |
friend told me about it and when I heard, I was like, "I will go and | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
see it now.". Matilda popped up in the nominations for this year's | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
Oliviers in every category. For Matilda the musical at | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
Cambridge. Ten nominations. Well, it is an | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
amazing feeling to be part of something like this. It has been | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
right from the beginning. The question is why? For Paul Kay | :25:19. | :25:29. | |
:25:29. | :25:30. | ||
it is all about freedom. I pitched my character somewhere between | :25:30. | :25:40. | |
:25:40. | :25:42. | ||
Kenneth Connor and Enoch Powell. Maybe kicking the West End up a bit. | :25:42. | :25:52. | |

This is a Royal Shakespeare Company production and this path to | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
Broadway is becoming a well worn one. | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
War Horse brings in �13 million a year. The route is being followed | :26:02. | :26:09. | |
by another of its products, One Man Two Governors. | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
The commercial theatre doesn't have a bedrock of funding from which to | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
develop work and one of the problems of commercial theatre is | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
when they make money, they don't reinvest it into the work. | :26:19. | :26:25. |
