Tens of thousands of anti- government protestors gather in | :00:04. | :00:08. | |
Bahrain ahead of Sunday's Formula One Grand Prix. | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
Police use tear gas and fire stun grenades to disperse demonstrators | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
in the capital, Manama. As the racing teams continue their | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
preparations, Bahrain's crown prince insists the Grand Prix must | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
go ahead. Cancelling the race just empowers | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
extremists. I think that for those of us who are trying to navigate | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
the way out of this political problem, having the race allows us | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
to build bridges. We'll be assessing the increasing | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
pressure on Formula One to call the race off. | :00:36. | :00:38. | |

Pressure is building on the organisers of the Formula One Grand | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
Prix due to take place in Bahrain this Sunday. Tens of thousands of | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
anti-government protestors gathered, some calling for the race to be | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
stopped. Police used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse others | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
trying to make their way into the capital, Manama. The Bahraini | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
government and Formula One bosses are insisting the Grand Prix will | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
go ahead, though activists have threatened to disrupt it. From | :02:17. | :02:26. | |
Manama, Dan Roan reports. This is not the image of burning | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
rubber that Formula One organisers would have hoped for, tyres alight | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
on a street in the capital. Bahrain's three days of rage have | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
begun - these the first clashes in a threatened escalation of protests | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
to coincide with this weekend's Grand Prix. Used to a build-up of a | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
different kind, the F1 road show has rolled into the heat of the | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
desert. But even inside the cocoon of the circuit, the reality of this | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
divided island is finally catching up with those that run the sport. | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
And today the Crown Prince of Bahrain and the undisputed king of | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
F1, Bernie Eccleston, were forced to justify the most controversial | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
race in years. REPORTER: In Britain, politicians | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
are calling for the race to be boycotted and Amnesty International | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
thinks it should not go ahead. Given those comments, why should | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
the race continue? I think this race should continue because it is | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
indeed a very big event for this country, important economically and | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
socially. I genuinely believe that this race is a force for good. It | :03:28. | :03:36. | |
unites many people from many different under the roof of Formula | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
One. It has nothing to do with us what happens in the country. As his | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
Royal Highness said, we have people in all sorts of countries. We have | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
people in England, think it is Conservatives and Labour that don't | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
agree always on things. That is how the world is. Bahrain has been in | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
turmoil since last year. Many of the Shia majority are calling for | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
the dissolution of the Sunni monarchy and the release of an | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
activist on hunger strike. I think the media campaign, by highlighting | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
the crime that is happening in this country to the international | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
community, we have taken the opportunity that up the media | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
focusing on Formula One to highlight the issues of concern | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
here. At the end of the first full day of practice, the mood inside | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
the manicured panic -- paddock here at the international circuit is | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
tense. Members of two separate teams of experienced protests for | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
themselves as they travel back to their bases. Force India cancelled | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
this afternoon's practice after personnel were caught up in a | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
petrol bomb incident and members of another team, Sauber, also | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
witnessed trouble last night. F1 cars are not used to going into | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
reverse and there is no sign of a U-turn, but the pressure to raise | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
the Red Flag and abandon the race for the second year in succession | :04:57. | :05:04. | |
will only intensify. Our security correspondent Frank | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
Gardner is here. You have lived in Bahrain and you still go there. Put | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
this into context, how serious is it? I think it is pretty serious. | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
The Grand Prix in Bahrain has been used as a football. There are | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
people on both sides who want it to fail. There are people on the | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
opposition side who say, this is a big, glamorous prize that the | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
government does not deserve because of its human rights record and the | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
fact that they are not getting the democracy they are calling for. But | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
there are hardliners in the Bahraini government who do not | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
sympathise with the Crown Prince, who we saw there, and do not want | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
it to work. They are waiting for an excuse to absolutely hammer the | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
protesters, believe it or not, to get even tougher with them. If it | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
was cancelled, as many are calling for, although it is hard to gauge | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
how many Bahraini people wanted cancelled, if it was cancelled, the | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
Shia are telling me that they fear retribution from hardliners in | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
Bahrain. It is a deeply divided place. What is the biggest threat? | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
I do not think it is police against protesters. The biggest threat is | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
the Sunni citizens against Shia citizens, the sort of sectarian | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
strife that tore apart Lebanon and Iraq. That could potentially happen | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
in Bahrain, if they don't solve their differences and share power. | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
Thank you. In Egypt tens of thousands gathered | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
in Cairo's Tahrir Square, demanding that the military government hand | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
over power to civilian rule. The demonstration, one of the largest | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
in recent months, follows the disqualification of several leading | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
candidates for the presidential elections next month. | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
Anders Breivik has given a shocking account of the moment he gunned | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
down 69 people at a summer camp in Norway. Speaking at his trial in | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
Oslo and in front of the relatives of his victims he described himself | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
as "a nice person." Survivors and victims' relatives sobbed in court | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
as the killer described in methodical detail how he shot | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
teenagers at point blank range, as some froze in fear or pleaded for | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
their lives. Our correspondent Matthew Price was in court. Some | :07:07. | :07:17. | |
:07:17. | :07:18. | ||
may find his report upsetting. The atmosphere at court changed | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
today, as a country braced itself, although few could imagine what was | :07:22. | :07:29. | |
to come. Throughout it has been Breivik's detachment, his cold and | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
unemotional response us that have been most disturbing. Today, he | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
talked us through his killing spree as if he were describing a day at | :07:37. | :07:45. | |
work. Under normal circumstances, I am a nice person, he said. As he | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
reached the island and prepared for the massacre, I was thinking, I | :07:48. | :07:56. | |
don't want to do this. Then I thought, this is now or never. He | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
killed 67 on the island. Two others drowned trying to escape. Inside | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
the courtroom, Anders Breivik took us through a moment by moment | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
account of what he did, from one victim to the next. It was, for | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
many, exceedingly difficult to listen to but impossible to ignore. | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
It was horrific. At one point, he said, people were paralysed with | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
fear in front of him. I put new ammunition in while they just stood | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
there. Then I shot them in the head. And he tricked people, asking if | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
they had seen the terrorist. Some look sceptical, while some moved | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
towards me. When they got closer, I lifted the gun and shot the first | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
one in the head. Many who survived his attacks left the courtroom in | :08:45. | :08:55. | |
:08:55. | :08:56. | ||
shock. It's really hard. I want to get angry with him. But I just feel | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
emptiness inside of me. I really can't explain the feeling. Norway's | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
newspapers chose today not to put the trial on the front page. Some | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
want to hear no more from Breivik. For others, it is important that he | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
speaks. I think it is necessary, necessary for my daughter, | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
necessary for me and I think it is necessary for Norway to here and to | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
learn. For nine more anguished weeks they will pick apart what | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
happened here. And throughout, they will be haunted by the man in the | :09:29. | :09:36. | |
dock. A young couple cleared of causing | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
the death of their baby son have called for the hospitals involved | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
in his case to be investigated. After a legal battle lasting almost | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
three years, Chana Al-Alas and Rohan Wray were acquitted of | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
abusing their son, who died after suffering a fractured skull. During | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
the trial, doctors discovered he had severe rickets, which causes | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
the bones to become soft. Today, the couple spoke to the BBC. | :10:00. | :10:07. | |
Branwen Jeffreys reports. A young couple, walking away from | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
court and from a legal and emotional ordeal. Wrongly accused | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
of the death of one baby, they have also had to fight to get their | :10:15. | :10:22. | |
second child back. Jayden Wray was Chana and Rohan's first baby but | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
when he was ill in hospital, fractures were discovered. They | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
were not allowed to be with him when he died and they found | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
themselves facing a murder charge. The fact that we know how much we | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
loved him, we loved him so much. And the fact that we have been | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
accused, the fact that this has happened is the worst thing ever. | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
Knowing we are innocent and to be facing the trial not knowing what | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
the outcome could be is actually the scariest thing that anyone | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
could ever go through. The death of Jayden Wray was the beginning of a | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
legal nightmare. While they waited for the murder trial, their second | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
baby was taken into care, moments after birth. It was horrible. I was | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
thinking, when am I going to see her, after had just given birth and | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
I was not allowed to hold her. I was not there for the birth, I | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
was not present for any of the Labour. I could not be there to | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
support her and I felt really terrible. Last year, Jayden Wray's | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
parents were cleared of his murder at court. Now their daughter has | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
been returned to them after 18 months in care. The judge said that | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
Jayden Wray was a very much wanted baby. Earth a postmortem had found | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
that is rickets was extremely severe foreign child of his age. | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
Yet two leading London hospitals had missed it. University College | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
in great -- and Great Ormond Street say they regret the distress caused. | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
Rickets blighted trialled puts a few generations ago. It almost | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
disappeared but cases are now increasing. It is caused by vitamin | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
D and calcium deficiency, which can lead to fragile and deformed bones. | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
There is a greater risk with darker skin. It reduces the vitamin D | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
absorbed from sunshine. It is thought up to 25% of people are | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
vitamin D deficiency, making it more important that rickets is | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
recognised. It is essential that all doctors consider it as one | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
possible reason why a child's bones might fracture. There are some | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
simple blood tests that one can measure a vitamin D level as well | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
as the calcium level and a couple of other indicators in the blood as | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
to how significant that vitamin D deficiency is, as one of the | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
reasons why Burns may break. Jayden Wray's parents want an inquiry and | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
better awareness of rickets among doctors. Most of all, they want to | :12:39. | :12:46. | |
rebuild their family life. The Wales and Sheffield United | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
footballer Ched Evans has been jailed for five years after being | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
found guilty of the rape of a 19- year-old on a night out. The court | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
was told that Evans took advantage of a vulnerable young woman who was | :12:55. | :13:05. | |
:13:05. | :13:06. | ||
An aeroplane has question Pakistan with 120 people on board. There are | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
no reports of any survivors. The airliner had set off from Karachi | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
and came down in a residential area at moments before it was supposed | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
to land in Islamabad airport. At Karachi airport, an agonising | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
wait. Relatives desperate to know if their loved ones were on the | :13:27. | :13:35. | |
passenger list and if any survivors had been found. The airline, Bhoja | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
Air, reopened this year. It was their first flight from Karachi to | :13:39. | :13:47. | |
Islamabad. But the flight never made it to the capital. The Boeing | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
737 came down in a storm. Apparently with the loss of | :13:50. | :13:57. | |
everybody on board. On the ground, poignant reminders of their lives | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
ended in an instant. The pilot was said to have been highly | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
experienced. The airline has said the weather was to blame. Police | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
are collecting debris and carrying out examinations at the scene. They | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
are hunks of twisted metal all over the ground here. The airline came | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
down in a residential district and part of the aeroplane are scattered | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
on people's homes. It was making its approach to Islamabad, coming | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
into land, when disaster struck. In the words of one local man, the sky | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
turned red. Some local residents told us the aeroplane was on fire | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
before it hit the ground, but that is not confirmed. Investigations | :14:41. | :14:49. | |
are continuing. Relatives will have many questions. Mohammed was robbed | :14:49. | :14:56. | |
of his sister. The rescue team found my sister's mobile phone and | :14:56. | :15:03. | |
some jewellery near her dead body and they contacted us. Tonight it | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
is the time of grief. Instead of happy reunions at the airport, the | :15:08. | :15:18. | |
:15:18. | :15:21. | ||
agony of bereavement. Some families have lost more than one member. | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
Coming up on the programme: In China, we have a special report | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
from inside Chongqing, the city where British businessman was | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
murdered, triggering a huge political crisis in the ruling | :15:33. | :15:40. | |
Communist Party. It has been the final day of | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
campaigning in France before the first round of the presidential | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
elections on Sunday. 10 candidates are standing. Only two will win | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
through to the second-round run-off in May. They are expected to be | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
President Sarkozy and their Socialist rival, Francois Hollande, | :15:56. | :16:05. | |
ahead in the polls at the moment. The French President and his final | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
campaign stop in Nice tonight. Nicolas Sarkozy knows that the | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
polls are predicting his downfall. Today he conceded that he had made | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
mistakes. One of them, not being solemn enough as President. Tonight | :16:19. | :16:26. | |
he spoke very personally. I know what they are going to say, but I | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
am sentimental and I am going to tell you something and that is true. | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
The presidency has not changed me. I have not become mummified. I am a | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
human being who deeply loves this country. The President blames the | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
media for having written him off and insists that the silent | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
majority will support him. Go to a city like Bordeaux, and you | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
understand President Sarkozy's difficulty. When you visit | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
factories like this producer of organic drinks, the overwhelming | :16:57. | :17:06. | |
concern is with the stagnating economy and unemployment at 10%. | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
Employment, raising employment and quality of life. The main issue for | :17:09. | :17:17. | |
the French is employment. President's main opponent, the | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
Socialist Francois Holland, has tapped into this. At his final | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
major rally, he promises to make gross and not austerity his | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
priority. In every poll, Francois Hollande has been the favourite to | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
win in the second round. You can expect the Sarkozy campaign to use | :17:34. | :17:42. | |
every opportunity to try and portray him as a dangerous Spender. | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
So far vertex do not appear to have heard him. -- the attacks. When I | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
spoke to him afterwards, he said that he expected a clear result | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
from the first round, a desire for change. Are you going to win? | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
not sure. I hope so. His critics say he has never held a job in | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
Government before but he likes to present himself as Mr Normal, for | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
protecting the French way of life. As for President Sarkozy, his | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
challenge appears to be immense. is the artist of French politics, | :18:17. | :18:25. | |
but he will need to be the magician of French electoral history. Never | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
has anybody surmounted such a change. Whatever the polls suggest, | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
there is an unpredictable, volatile mood in France that could still | :18:35. | :18:41. | |
deliver a surprise. The Chancellor George Osborne says | :18:42. | :18:49. | |
the UK is willing to make a loan of �10 million of additional money to | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
the IMF. He says it will not add to the UK debt burden and will boost | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
the organisation's ability to lend to those in financial difficulty, | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
including those in the eurozone. How will this go down with Tory | :19:03. | :19:09. | |
backbenchers? One euro-sceptic MP has referred to this on his blog as | :19:09. | :19:15. | |
IMF bail-out ball. Euro-sceptic MPs think that the IMF may be a global | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
fund, but the loans will simply be used to bail-out eurozone countries | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
and they will be used to underwrite the currency that has failed. | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
George Osborne insists that the loans offered with strings attached, | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
and we will get our money back with interest. The money that is being | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
offered today is part of a package that was agreed after a vote in | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
Parliament last summer. On that occasion, 30 Tory MPs rebelled | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
against the Government. By keeping the announcement today within that | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
overall package, just less than �10 million, the Government has avoided | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
triggering another potentially tricky vote in Parliament. Thank | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
you. In China, the ruling Communist | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
party is struggling to contain a political crisis triggered by the | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
death of the British businessman Neil Heywood. One of the party's | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
most senior figures, Bo Xilai, has already been sacked, and his wife | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
is being investigated amid claims that she had Neil Heywood murdered. | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
More victims are claiming that they are the victims of Bo Xilai and | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
they are starting to come forward. We have this special report from | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
Chongqing in south-western China. It is the question that will not go | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
away. How did Neil Heywood die, here at the Lucky Hotel in one of | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
its secluded villas last September? The Chinese Communist Party, and | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
mash in the scandal, has promised that the rule of law will prevail. | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
-- en meshed. Will that happen? The British businessman may have been | :20:47. | :20:54. | |
murdered. His once powerful friend, Bo Xilai, has been sacked and is | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
under investigation. Rumours swirled that his wife ordered the | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
killing, even that she was there when cyanide was slipped into Neil | :21:02. | :21:11. | |
Heywood's drink. Under Bo Xilai, Chongqing, it was his fiefdom, the | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
home to 20 million people. But his rule was ruthless. His signature | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
policy was a crackdown on crime, smashing what he called mafia gangs. | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
Thousands were arrested. Many seem to have been businessman, tortured | :21:24. | :21:31. | |
and forced to hand over their wealth. Li Jun, once a billionaire, | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
is in hiding outside China. He says he was held for three months, | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
accused of crimes he never committed and tortured by Bo | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
Xilai's henchmen. They even took this photograph of him after he | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
paid millions to secure his own freedom. When he fled China, he | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
says that his family were arrested, too. My brother was tortured for | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
six days and nights. He is innocent, but he was sentenced to 18 years in | :21:57. | :22:04. | |
prison. There are thousands like me. Bo Xilai and his deputy killed | :22:04. | :22:12. | |
people to silence them. He deserves to die. Before Neil Heywood's death, | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
Bo Xilai's apparent disregard for the law did not seem to bother the | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
Communist Party. Charismatic and populist, he was feted as a rising | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
staff. He spent billions on popular projects like cheap housing for the | :22:26. | :22:34. | |
poor, making it the fastest growing metropolis in China. Bo Xilai did | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
great things for the people. Like many, this woman still support him | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
and wants him to be reinstated. As you dig through this story, it | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
seems that Bo Xilai's popularity had become a threat to the other | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
grey men at the top of the Communist Party. He was building | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
his own power base and the death of Neil Heywood has provided the | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
opportunity for them to bring him down. So will China now reopen not | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
just Neil Heywood's case, but those of Li Jun and hundreds more? The | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
former billionaire says that he is too scared to come back until China | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
truly has the rule of law and democracy. For now, it's still has | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
the role of the Communist Party. Many in the city say they are | :23:16. | :23:23. | |
victims, two and are waiting for the day when they can see justice. | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
Bert Weedon, once credited as the man who taught the world to play | :23:28. | :23:35. | |
electric guitar, has died at the age of 91. Already an established | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
guitarist, he played on thousands of BBC radio broadcasts in the | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
1950s. It was his book Play Guitar In A Day, used by Eric Clapton, | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
Paul McCartney and Pete Townshend to name but a few, that brought him | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
international acclaim. He is a global icon and the voice | :23:53. | :24:01. | |
of reggae. He introduced the music to millions. Another first ever -- | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
now the first ever authorised film about Bob Marley's life has | :24:06. | :24:13. | |
premiered in Kingston, Jamaica. Bob Marley, the Jamaican pop star, | :24:13. | :24:20. | |
peace broker, and too many of his fans, something of a prophet. Last | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
night, a new film about his life opened in Jamaica, at which his | :24:25. | :24:33. | |
widow, at Rita Marley, spoke. want to say it is good for us as | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
Africans and Jamaicans to be here, to watch this memorable programme | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
tonight. He died over 30 years ago but remains an everyday presence in | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
the lives of millions of people across the globe, through his music | :24:45. | :24:55. | |
:24:55. | :24:58. | ||
and his lyrics. # Get Up, Stand Up. | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
The intention of the film was to reveal the man. Yes, he had faults, | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
but everybody had faults. I believe that he was not a hypocrite and he | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
believed what he was saying. He did give a lot of his money away. | :25:12. | :25:18. | |
you a rich man? Or what do you mean by rich? Have you got a lot of | :25:18. | :25:24. | |
possessions, money in the bag? don't have that type of richness. I | :25:24. | :25:30. | |
am rich in life. The film highlights the tensions Bob Marley | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
felt about having a black mother and a white father. He found his | :25:35. | :25:41. | |
identity in music and religion. This is my identity. There shall be | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
a music that all people shall play and sing and dance to. What music | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
could that be? Reggae. Bob Marley may that proper see a reality, | :25:50. | :25:59. | |
becoming a hero in America and a target for political unrest. -- | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
that prophecy. He survived an assassination attempt. When you | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
realise this might be your last opportunity to do anything, you | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
place a greater value on every moment, every second of every day. | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
Bob Marley liked football and he liked to win. He worked hard. His | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
life was cut short when he died of cancer only 36. By which time, he | :26:21. | :26:26. |
