Warnings of the latest global terror threat. David Cameron

:00:08.:00:13.

pledges support to help tackle Islamist militants in North Africa.

:00:13.:00:16.

Algeria's Prime Ministers says 37 foreign hostages were killed at a

:00:16.:00:22.

gas plant in the Sahara. Six are believed to be British. This attack

:00:22.:00:25.

underlines the threat that terrorist groups pose to the

:00:25.:00:31.

countries and peoples of that region and to our citizens, our

:00:31.:00:36.

companies and interests as well. will be asking how involved British

:00:36.:00:39.

forces may become. More than 5000 schools are forced

:00:39.:00:47.

to close as much of Britain endures a 4th snow and ice.

:00:47.:00:51.

Barack Obama has sworn in for his second term as President. Hundreds

:00:51.:00:55.

of thousands of Americans watch as he urges them to seize the moment

:00:55.:00:59.

after a decade of war and economic woes.

:00:59.:01:03.

Heading home tonight, Prince Harry talks about his five-month tour in

:01:03.:01:06.

Afghanistan and targeting the Taliban. If people are trying to do

:01:06.:01:10.

bad stuff to our guys, we will take them out of the game, I suppose.

:01:10.:01:15.

In sport, Murray stays on course for his second Grand Slam in a row.

:01:15.:01:22.

He beats Gilles Simon to make it to the quarter-finals of the

Good evening. David Cameron says Britain will help to track down and

:01:43.:01:45.

dismantle the terror network responsible for the hostage crisis

:01:45.:01:49.

at a remote gas plant in Algeria. At least 37 foreigners are known to

:01:49.:01:53.

have died during the attack. Six British workers are feared to be

:01:53.:01:57.

amongst them. David Cameron told the Commons that the world was

:01:57.:02:01.

involved in a generational struggle against Al-Qaeda inspired terrorism

:02:01.:02:11.
:02:11.:02:12.

Their language is eerily familiar. A promise to hunt down and destroy

:02:12.:02:16.

Al-Qaeda or's a terrorist network. The location, though, is not. North

:02:16.:02:20.

Africa is fast becoming home, David Cameron says, to a threat none of

:02:20.:02:26.

us can ignore. Not since the war in Afghanistan began as the House of

:02:26.:02:30.

Commons echoed to a warning quite like this. We must frustrate the

:02:30.:02:34.

terrorists with our security. We must beat them militarily. We must

:02:34.:02:39.

address the poisonous narrative they feed on. We must close down

:02:39.:02:42.

the ungoverned space in which they thrive and we must deal with the

:02:42.:02:48.

grievances they used to garner support. Today in Algeria, in this

:02:48.:02:52.

hospital, a reminder that there hostage crisis may be over but all

:02:52.:02:57.

too many, 37 foreigners and one Algerian, will leave here in

:02:57.:03:03.

coffins. One by one, the names of the British victims are emerging.

Carson bills and was a technician at the gas plant. Paul Morgan was

:03:07.:03:12.

in charge of security. The 46-year- old was from Liverpool. As was 49-

:03:12.:03:17.

year-old Garry Barlow, married with two children. Kenneth Whiteside was

:03:17.:03:22.

59 and came originally from Glenrothes in Fife. He leaves a

:03:22.:03:27.

wife and Tim daughters who, along with his brother, learned their

terrible news from an online They informed us that basically

:03:35.:03:41.

what was on Facebook was true, that Kenny was executed. It is a fate

:03:41.:03:45.

many others know they were very lucky to avoid. Alan Wright is only

:03:45.:03:48.

back with his family in Aberdeenshire because he listened

:03:48.:03:52.

to Algerian colleagues who told him to stop hiding and escape through a

fence. As soon as they cut the first weather, it changed my mind

completely. I thought, we are going. -- wire. The Algerian hostage

:04:04.:04:13.

crisis has not, David Cameron's has -- advisers insist, has turned his

:04:13.:04:16.

Prime Minister into another version of Tony Blair. He has no intention

:04:16.:04:20.

of sending British troops to North Africa, let alone raining bombs

:04:20.:04:24.

from tens of thousands of feet. Some fear we have been here before

:04:24.:04:28.

in another part of North Africa. They remember how David Cameron

:04:28.:04:35.

became persuaded for the need for military action in Libya. Can he

:04:35.:04:39.

give a guarantee that his crusading zeal in the event of not being able

:04:39.:04:43.

to get many West African troops will not lead him to the use of

:04:43.:04:47.

British troops in the future? I would say to the Honourable

:04:47.:04:51.

Gentleman... No such guarantee was forthcoming. This is what the Prime

:04:51.:04:55.

Minister says he will deploy. will contribute British

:04:55.:04:58.

intelligence and counter-terrorism assets to an international effort

:04:58.:05:03.

to find and dismantle the network that planned and ordered this

:05:03.:05:07.

brutal support for staff Labour's sounded supportive, but their

:05:07.:05:13.

leader's rhetoric is lower key. Countering terrorism begins with

:05:13.:05:17.

understanding it and dealing with it in the right way. The work will

:05:17.:05:21.

be painstaking, diplomatic and political as much as military.

:05:21.:05:25.

Collaborative and multilateral, not unilateral. What became plain is

:05:25.:05:28.

that while a hostage crisis may be over, British involvement in North

:05:28.:05:32.

Africa is set to grow. The Prime Minister insists that we simply

:05:32.:05:42.
:05:42.:05:42.

cannot any longer ignore what is So, just how much of a threat is

:05:42.:05:45.

posed by terrorists in North Africa and what are the options for

:05:45.:05:53.

The attack and Algeria caught the whole world off guard when the

:05:53.:05:57.

militants stormed and, suddenly a threat only a few experts had been

:05:57.:06:01.

warning of was real. Tackling extremism across an entire, very

:06:01.:06:07.

fragile region is the new imperative. All because Islamists

:06:07.:06:13.

involving grave witnesses in Mali I able to cause mayhem in the country

:06:13.:06:17.

next door, Algeria. The Algerian government is clear.

:06:17.:06:20.

The attackers came across the desert from Mali. Certainly, they

:06:20.:06:25.

would have been able to exploit the desert terrain. Experts point out

:06:25.:06:29.

that borders in this region, and the airlines on a map, have little

:06:29.:06:39.
:06:39.:06:39.

They used to wandering around as nomads. It is a vast, vast area

:06:39.:06:43.

with a very small population. There is nothing, apparently, there.

:06:43.:06:50.

There is very little there. Of course, it is an area that is, to

:06:50.:06:54.

all intents and purposes, impossible to police. This is the

:06:54.:07:00.

man accused of leading the attack. It seems he found safe haven to

:07:00.:07:04.

plot in the north of Mali, a huge area under the control of rebels

:07:04.:07:10.

backed by Al-Qaeda and other Islamist groups. The French are

:07:10.:07:14.

fighting in Mali precisely because they fear the whole country could

:07:14.:07:20.

fall to extremists. Today, French troops report taking a town and

:07:20.:07:26.

driving the rebels back. Now, David Cameron is talking about more of

:07:26.:07:31.

this. British support, delivering French troops and equipment to Mali.

:07:31.:07:35.

Britain also wants far greater international an African effort to

:07:35.:07:38.

strengthen good government and the entire economy of the region to

:07:38.:07:42.

squeeze out extremists. The foreign forces have come in, whether they

:07:42.:07:46.

are French or African. They are going to drive out the jihadists,

:07:46.:07:50.

but what then? How is the situation going to be stabilised if we have

:07:50.:07:55.

essentially moved from eight position of jihadists controlling

:07:55.:08:00.

urban centres in Mali to some sort of running insurgency? That is the

:08:00.:08:04.

awful prospect Mali faces if there is not a credible strategy to

:08:04.:08:09.

consolidate peace. So, a huge range of challenges for

:08:09.:08:13.

Britain and international allies. Not just helping to rescue Mali,

:08:13.:08:18.

but also supporting solutions led by Africa's and regional powers,

:08:18.:08:23.

like Nigeria. Otherwise, tackling extremism could just look like

:08:23.:08:27.

former colonial powers imposing their way.

:08:27.:08:31.

Or than 5000 schools were forced to close today as snow and icy

:08:31.:08:35.

conditions caused disruption across huge swathes of the UK for a 4th

:08:35.:08:39.

day. Road, rail and air services were also affected. The snow has

:08:39.:08:43.

been heaviest in the north-east of England. Danny Savage is in

:08:43.:08:48.

Northumberland. Well, Sophie, after many hours the

:08:48.:08:52.

snow is starting to use. If you measure it, it would be a foot deep.

:08:52.:09:02.

Not all that has fallen today. Most of it has. Where it has, it has

:09:02.:09:06.

been very difficult for many people. In north-east England tonight,

:09:06.:09:11.

driving conditions have been terrible. Blizzards have been

:09:11.:09:15.

raging all day, leaving lorries unable to get traction and standard

:09:15.:09:19.

at the bottom of hills. It has been bad elsewhere as well. This was

:09:19.:09:25.

this evening's rush-hour in Belfast. People struggling in the conditions.

:09:25.:09:29.

Kim East Yorkshire, a bit of creativity was needed to get this a

:09:29.:09:33.

van moving again. The gritters were out, but, in some places, it did

:09:33.:09:39.

not make a difference. There was a bigger effect on schools. Nearly

:09:39.:09:45.

5000 were closed. I got a text message last night saying that the

:09:45.:09:48.

school would be closed. I had to get my grandparents to look after

:09:48.:09:53.

him. I had to cancel two jobs today, I'm self-employed so I need to

:09:53.:09:57.

arrange them for another day. snow hit areas, a few did remain

:09:57.:10:02.

open. The head of this academy was clear about his reasons. They have

:10:02.:10:06.

played in the snow wall weekend, it's a school day. We are ready, we

:10:06.:10:10.

are back at work, the roads are open, transport is running and I

:10:10.:10:15.

want children here working. Most schools closed because teachers

:10:15.:10:20.

could not get in or they could not offer meals. Some sceptics also

:10:20.:10:22.

suggested they may have closed because opening and finding that

:10:22.:10:28.

many pupils did not turn up could have damaged absence records and

:10:28.:10:32.

potentially league table places. don't know any head teacher that

:10:32.:10:36.

would close a school on the basis of it causing problems for absence

:10:36.:10:41.

records. All head teachers I know close on the basis of health and

:10:41.:10:44.

safety alone. School grounds were mainly used instead for sledging

:10:44.:10:49.

and more creative activities. To the obvious delight of pupils,

:10:49.:10:55.

given the day off. It is good fun, sledging. It is good fun being off

:10:55.:11:01.

school. I love the snow, it is just great. I love our weather in the

:11:01.:11:06.

north-east. In Consett, ambulance staff were deployed on mast to keep

:11:06.:11:13.

clearing the snow. Emergency calls were to be answered, they had to

:11:13.:11:17.

get their vehicles out. Spare a thought for this lorry driver,

:11:17.:11:24.

scram did for two days on the A66 in County Durham, one of the flee

:11:24.:11:27.

when routes closed by snow drifts, despite the best efforts of snow

:11:27.:11:32.

plough drivers and the emergency services. Durham police say that

:11:32.:11:37.

particular route, D A66, will probably not open until tomorrow

:11:38.:11:43.

because conditions are still bad. If you want to know if you're

:11:43.:11:46.

children's schools are open tomorrow, the advice is to listen

:11:46.:11:52.

to your local radio stations or the BBC News website.

:11:52.:11:56.

President Obama has been sworn in for his second term as President of

:11:56.:11:59.

the United States. He took his oath of office on the steps of Congress

:11:59.:12:03.

in Washington in front of hundreds of thousands of people. He said

:12:03.:12:06.

America was bound together by a allegiance to its founding

:12:06.:12:10.

principles, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. He said a

:12:10.:12:20.

decade of war was ending and If the roaring from the crowd

:12:20.:12:25.

packing the capital is anything to go by, the President has arrival in

:12:25.:12:35.
:12:35.:12:44.

Beyonce sang the national anthem, alongside pop there was traditional

:12:44.:12:47.

pomp as past presidents took to the stage. The crowd here strained to

:12:47.:12:54.

see the First Lady. Her new haircut is the talk of the media. But all

:12:54.:12:59.

the marching bands and the 21 gun salute are for one man. I do

:12:59.:13:05.

solemnly swear... This is pageant with a political purpose. A choir

:13:05.:13:08.

sang the Battle Hill of the Republic, the President linked to

:13:08.:13:12.

the founding principles of America, life, liberty, the pursuit of

:13:13.:13:18.

happiness, to his vision of America. A little girl born into poverty

:13:19.:13:22.

knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else because

:13:22.:13:26.

she is an American, she is free, she is equal, not only in the eyes

:13:26.:13:29.

of God but in our own. everybody appeared enthralled, but

:13:30.:13:33.

he went out of his way to mention the big issues which enrage his

:13:33.:13:38.

opponents, gun-control, immigration, climate change and gay rights.

:13:38.:13:41.

journey is not complete and tell our gay brothers and sisters are

:13:41.:13:47.

treated like anyone else under the law. For if we are truly created

:13:47.:13:50.

equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal

:13:50.:13:57.

as well. The clearly-defined his mission for the next four years.

:13:57.:14:02.

That is our generation's task. To make these words, these rights,

:14:02.:14:10.

these values, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, real for

:14:10.:14:16.

every American. He will face plenty of opposition to his plans. But not

:14:16.:14:22.

here, not today. This was a celebration of Obama's America and

:14:22.:14:25.

the people that re-elected him. had the world on his shoulders in

:14:25.:14:28.

the beginning and he continues still. I think he will be fine, he

:14:28.:14:34.

will be good. All Americans will be represented by this man. This is

:14:34.:14:36.

America coming out, and a lot of people didn't think it would happen

:14:36.:14:40.

the second time. After a break for lunch and more speeches, the Big

:14:40.:14:43.

Parade to mark the beginning of this President's second term in

:14:43.:14:52.

Four years ago, the inauguration made history with the first black

:14:52.:14:57.

President of the USA. Today he set out how he plans to shake history

:14:57.:15:02.

with an uncompromising speech that tells of battles still ahead. But

:15:02.:15:07.

now it is a time for broad smiles, basking in the adulation of

:15:07.:15:13.

supporters who believe in a promise of hope and change.

:15:13.:15:16.

Coming up on the programme: Tributes are paid to the film

:15:16.:15:26.

director and restaurant critic Prince Harry is on his way back to

:15:26.:15:29.

Britain from Afghanistan after completing a five-month tour of

:15:29.:15:33.

duty as an Apache helicopter co- pilot. In a series of interviews

:15:33.:15:37.

during his time there, which can only be broadcast now, he has

:15:37.:15:41.

spoken about firing at Taliban fighters and house serving his

:15:41.:15:45.

country always comes first. He was also highly critical of the British

:15:45.:15:54.

press. For the past 20 weeks, he has disappeared from public view.

:15:54.:16:01.

Deployed to Afghanistan, flying an Apache attack helicopter. My father

:16:01.:16:04.

is always reminding me who I am but it is very easy to completely

:16:04.:16:10.

forget about who I am when I am in the army. As co-pilot gun on the

:16:10.:16:13.

Apache, Harry has had to be prepared to use lethal force

:16:13.:16:19.

against the Taliban. Take a life to save a life. That is what we

:16:19.:16:24.

revolve around, I suppose. If there are people trying to do bad stuff

:16:24.:16:29.

to our guys, we will take that in the game, I suppose. It is not the

:16:29.:16:34.

reason I decided to do this job. The reason I did this was to get

:16:34.:16:39.

back out here and to carry on with a job. He deployed to Afghanistan

:16:39.:16:43.

under something of a cloud. Shortly before he left, on a private visit

:16:43.:16:48.

to Las Vegas, he made what he accepts it as a serious mistake. He

:16:48.:16:50.

was photographed naked playing strip billiards and a naked woman

:16:50.:16:57.

was with him. I have probably done what other people have done. But it

:16:57.:17:00.

was in a private area and there should be privacy that people

:17:00.:17:06.

should expect. It was too much army and not enough prints. This is my

:17:06.:17:11.

bed and I do not make it when I come down here. He was in

:17:11.:17:14.

Afghanistan over Christmas. One of the guys, part of the gang, as he

:17:14.:17:19.

puts it. He was also there when the news of the Duchess of Cambridge's

:17:19.:17:24.

pregnancy was made public. I had a chat to them. I did not send a

:17:24.:17:28.

letter of congratulations, like most of the newspaper's... Of how

:17:28.:17:30.

they think they know my relationship between myself and my

:17:30.:17:40.
:17:40.:17:41.

sister and -- sister-in-law his bizarre but they are wrong as usual.

:17:41.:17:45.

Prince Harry has a deep antipathy towards the British press.

:17:45.:17:48.

father always says don't read it, everyone says don't read it,

:17:49.:17:52.

because it is rubbish. I'm surprised how many people in the UK

:17:52.:17:56.

read it. It just upset me and angers me that people can get away

:17:56.:18:00.

with writing the stuff that they do, not just about me but everybody.

:18:00.:18:04.

Active service in Afghanistan has been imported to Prince Harry. He

:18:04.:18:08.

says William would love to be given the same opportunity. His tour of

:18:08.:18:12.

duty is complete and unlike the last time, he has not had to come

:18:12.:18:16.

home early because the media reported that he was there. For me,

:18:17.:18:20.

that heard, being pulled out at that point. Being dragged away from

:18:20.:18:28.

my guys. It was not done in the wrong way, but it was... For five

:18:28.:18:35.

months, he has seen action, being scrambled to take on the Taliban. A

:18:35.:18:40.

young Prince, with a point to prove, doing his duty alongside his

:18:40.:18:45.

comrades. There is a special programme

:18:45.:18:49.

showing more of Prince Harry's tour in Afghanistan on the BBC News

:18:49.:18:53.

Channel at 10:30pm tonight. The Government has seen off an

:18:53.:18:57.

attempt tonight to block its plans to introduce a 1% cap on many

:18:57.:19:01.

working age benefits and tax credits. During an earlier debate

:19:01.:19:04.

in the Commons, the shadow employment minister Stephen Timms

:19:04.:19:07.

hinted that Labour would restore the link between benefits and

:19:07.:19:11.

inflation. James Landale is at Westminster for us now. What

:19:11.:19:17.

exactly did he say? In the last few minutes, MPs have now voted to

:19:17.:19:22.

increase that array of working age benefits and tax credits by just 1%.

:19:22.:19:25.

That is less than inflation, and effective real terms cut. The

:19:25.:19:31.

Government says it has to happen to cut the deficit and Labour says it

:19:31.:19:34.

is unfairly targeting the less well-off in society. Labour has

:19:34.:19:40.

never said what it would do instead. Today in the House of Commons, the

:19:40.:19:44.

shadow Welfare Minister, Stephen Timms, gave a pretty clear answer.

:19:44.:19:48.

He was asked by a Conservative MP if it was now Labour's division to

:19:48.:19:54.

increase the benefits in line with inflation. Is that a commitment, he

:19:54.:20:02.

asked. He replied, indeed. Operating should be in line with

:20:02.:20:07.

inflation, as it always has been. But within minutes Labour said that

:20:07.:20:12.

was not a commitment. The bottom line is that cutting benefits is

:20:12.:20:15.

politically difficult and Labour will have to face those difficult

:20:15.:20:19.

choices. The question is how long they will be able to sustain the

:20:19.:20:22.

position of opposing cuts on the one hand and on the other, not

:20:22.:20:28.

saying what they would do instead. At 24 year-old woman remains in a

:20:28.:20:31.

critical stage in hospital following the avalanche that killed

:20:31.:20:36.

four walkers in Glencoe on Saturday. Police have named the 4th person

:20:37.:20:40.

who died as 29 year-old Rachel Majumdar, a hospital doctor in

:20:40.:20:46.

Harrogate. The three others that died were Una Finnegan, also a

:20:46.:20:50.

doctor, and PhD students Christopher Bell and Tom Chesters.

:20:50.:20:54.

Israelis go to the polls tomorrow and the country is braced for a

:20:54.:20:58.

swing to the right that could put Israel on a collision course with

:20:58.:21:01.

its allies overseas. Binyamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister, is

:21:01.:21:06.

under pressure at prom lustreless and religious parties, and has

:21:06.:21:13.

adopted tougher more controversial policies about building in illegal

:21:13.:21:17.

Jewish settlements. -- under pressure from nationalist and

:21:17.:21:23.

religious parties. He is taking a selection by storm. Naftali Bennett

:21:23.:21:29.

is a dot com millionaire whose forthright views have drain support

:21:29.:21:35.

from the ruling Conservative Likud party. Almost unstoppable on

:21:35.:21:38.

election trail, he does not duck controversial issues and he says

:21:39.:21:45.

what many on the Israeli right privately think. Do you support the

:21:45.:21:49.

creation of a Palestinian state in the West Bank? If not, how do you

:21:49.:21:53.

resolve the national ambitions of millions of Palestinians? If a

:21:53.:21:57.

Palestinian state would be founded, it would ensure eternal strife and

:21:57.:22:01.

miserable life for the next 200 years between us and the

:22:01.:22:05.

Palestinians. They want a full- blown state. I believe that we

:22:05.:22:10.

cannot give a full-blown estate. But Binyamin Netanyahu is expected

:22:11.:22:15.

to be returned as Prime Minister. Campaign adverts claim that only he

:22:15.:22:19.

has the strength to deal with Israel's enemies, Iran and

:22:19.:22:26.

Hezbollah. In recent months, Binyamin Netanyahu has tried to

:22:26.:22:29.

establish his right-wing credentials by supporting More

:22:29.:22:34.

building in Jewish settlements on occupied Palestinian land.

:22:34.:22:37.

Settlements that are seen as illegal under international law.

:22:37.:22:41.

Even that is not enough to appease some of his critics and former

:22:41.:22:46.

supporters on the right. One recent report said there had been a record

:22:46.:22:51.

a surge in settlement expansion. Not enough for those on the

:22:51.:22:55.

religious right, who say that he is still not tough enough on the

:22:55.:23:02.

Palestinians. I think Israel has to be strong in negotiations. By being

:23:02.:23:09.

weak in negotiations, that is detrimental to our security.

:23:09.:23:12.

others are worried that Binyamin Netanyahu's decision to form an

:23:12.:23:18.

alliance with the ultra-nationalist Avigdor Lieberman could hit Israel

:23:18.:23:23.

overseas. Israel is going to be under the brand of increased

:23:23.:23:27.

international criticism and what is most dangerous, it is criticism

:23:27.:23:31.

coming from its friends, Europe and the United States, not from the

:23:31.:23:35.

people that we know do not like us already. Binyamin Netanyahu and

:23:35.:23:39.

Barack Obama have never been close. Reports from Washington say that

:23:39.:23:42.

the US President is already resigned to a difficult

:23:42.:23:46.

relationship with an even more right wing Binyamin Netanyahu

:23:46.:23:52.

Government in Israel. Administrators say the troubled

:23:52.:23:55.

music chain HMV will start accepting gift vouchers again from

:23:56.:23:59.

tomorrow. They had previously angered many customers by stating

:23:59.:24:02.

that gift cards could not be redeemed in stores after the

:24:02.:24:06.

company went into administration last week. 4000 jobs in more than

:24:06.:24:12.

200 stores are at risk. The film director and restaurant

:24:12.:24:14.

critic Michael Winner has died at the age of 77. He had been

:24:15.:24:20.

suffering from cancer. He made more than 30 films, including the

:24:20.:24:22.

successful Death Wish films starring Charles Bronson. He was

:24:22.:24:28.

also famous for his restaurant, and win and dinners in the Sunday Times.

:24:28.:24:31.

-- restaurant column Winner's Dinners.

:24:31.:24:35.

In later life, Michael Winner became famous for a TV commercial

:24:35.:24:40.

catchphrase. Calm down, dear. It is a commercial. The phrase became so

:24:40.:24:43.

popular that even the Prime Minister used it. But once he had

:24:43.:24:51.

been known mainly as a film director. Their violence made his

:24:51.:24:54.

films controversial. The star of this one summed up the contrasting

:24:54.:24:59.

sides of his character. Michael is an absolute monster but he has a

:24:59.:25:05.

wicked sense of humour and I like that, I really like to laugh.

:25:05.:25:09.

started making films in the 1960s, many starring Oliver Reed and many

:25:09.:25:16.

praised by the critics. The Jokers was one. I am not rich. I am just

:25:16.:25:20.

on a conveyor belt. I will set my brother on you. He can be extremely

:25:20.:25:26.

violent. I am going to kill you, son. The film that made him

:25:26.:25:29.

notorious was Death Wish, about a middle-class vigilante played by

:25:29.:25:35.

Charles Bronson. I said to Charley, I have got this script, about a man

:25:35.:25:39.

whose wife is marred and goes out and shoot them. He said he would

:25:39.:25:49.
:25:49.:25:51.

like to do it. I said issued a movie? And he said, no, get muggers.

:25:51.:25:56.

He was also a bombastic restaurant critic who paved the way for others

:25:56.:25:59.

like him. He would like to be remembered as a great film director

:25:59.:26:03.

but that will not happen. Almost everybody who made a film with him,

:26:03.:26:07.

that is their worst film, except Charles Bronson. He will be

:26:07.:26:11.

remembered by me as an entertaining restaurant critic and by the world

:26:11.:26:17.

as the man in the insurance adverts. I don't think he would care. Later

:26:17.:26:23.

he founded the Police Memorial Trust for offices killed in a line

:26:23.:26:32.

of duty. He met his wife in 1997 and beforehand he had many younger

:26:32.:26:36.

girlfriends, like Jenny Seagrove. The man himself was rude,

:26:36.:26:39.

outrageous, entertaining and quite able to take the mickey out of

:26:39.:26:43.
