Tonight at 10:00pm: Young people could lose some benefits under a | :00:05. | :00:10. | |
future Conservative government. David Cameron tells the Conservative | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
Conference that the under 25s need to be earning or learning, not | :00:13. | :00:23. | |
relying on benefits. Today it is still possible to leave school, to | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
sign on, find a flat, start claiming housing benefit and opt for a live | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
on benefits. Isn't it time for bold action here? The Prime Minister also | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
appealed to voters to allow the Conservatives to finish the job | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
they've started in coalition. Also tonight: A mentally ill man has | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
been detained indefinitely for stabbing a schoolgirl to death on a | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
bus. Humiliated by his own party - Silvio | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
Berlusconi is forced to abandon a bid to topple the Italian | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
government. One of the world's best-selling | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
authors - the American writer Tom Clancy - has died at the age of 66. | :00:57. | :01:05. | |
And a rather mixed night for the Manchester clubs in the Champions | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
League. And coming up in Sportsday on BBC | :01:07. | :01:14. | |
News, all tonight's Champions League results. Plus good and bad news for | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
Chelsea's Fernando Torres - he escapes Punishment for scratching an | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
opponent but is out injured for three weeks. | :01:20. | :01:40. | |
Good evening. Young people could lose the right to some benefits | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
under a future Conservative government. David Cameron, | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
addressing his party conference, said the under 25s should "earn or | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
learn" and not live a life on the dole. And looking ahead to the next | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
election, he asked voters to allow the Conservatives to "finish the | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
job" they've started in coalition. Our political editor Nick Robinson's | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
report from Manchester contains flash photography. | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
It was a long, long wait for this party to get back into government. | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
Today they queued to hear their leader try to convince them that | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
after three years of cuts and compromises, they are not heading | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
back to opposition. David Cameron's speech was short of rhetorical fizz | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
but long on sober warnings, that the job he had set out to do was only | :02:32. | :02:39. | |
half done. This past year 's have been a real struggle. But what | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
people want to know is this, was the struggle worth it. Here is the | :02:45. | :02:52. | |
honest answer, the struggle will only be worth it if we as a country | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
finish the job we have started. Finish the job, a phrase he used no | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
fewer than 15 times. Anyone who thought the problems were over was, | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
he said, living in a fantasyland. After three years of cuts, we still | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
have one of the biggest budget deficits anywhere in the world. We | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
are still spending more than we earn. We still need to earn more, | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
and yes, our government still needs to spend less. What has really | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
stirred the Tories is not so much talk of what they are doing but | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
tributes to what Margaret Thatcher once did, and attacks on Labour, who | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
they believe have reverted to the policies they once argued for when | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
she was Prime Minister. Taxes on banks they want to spend ten times | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
over and an energy promise they admitted 24 hours later they might | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
not be able to keep. It is sticking plasters and quick fixes cobbled | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
together for the TV cameras, read Ed plasters and quick fixes cobbled | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
and his Blue Peter economy. Ed Balls used to taunt him every week, he | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
said, by claiming the economy was flat-lining. He joked that he had a | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
gesture of his own for the Shadow Chancellor. Don't worry, it is not a | :04:04. | :04:11. | |
rude one. Jobs are up, construction is up, manufacturing is up, inward | :04:11. | :04:19. | |
investment, retail sales, home building, consumer confidence, all | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
of these things are up. The oceans can rise, empires can fall but one | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
thing will never change. It is labour that wrecks our economy and | :04:27. | :04:34. | |
we Conservatives clear it up. Profit and wealth creation were not dirty | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
words, he insisted. Recalling his pride on the day his wife, Samantha, | :04:38. | :04:45. | |
set up her first business. This was a speech billed in advance as having | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
no new policies but there was a glimpse of one, and a pretty | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
dramatic one, designed to deal with the 1 million young people now not | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
in education or employment or training. Today it is still possible | :04:56. | :05:03. | |
to leave school, sign on, find a flat, start claiming housing benefit | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
and opt for a life on benefits. Isn't it time for bold action here? | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
Or to school, go to college, do an apprenticeship, get a job but just | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
choose the dole? We have got to offer them something better than | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
that. What that means, we are now told, is the next Tory manifesto | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
will include a promise to end automatic entitlement to housing | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
benefit for the under 25s, and it may curb Jobseeker's Allowance, too. | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
Reforming welfare and education would, the prime minister claimed, | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
let all those who put the effort in have a chance to make it. It is this | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
party that is for the many, not the few. The land of despair was Labour | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
but the land of hope is Tory. This was not a pitch for another | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
coalition. Nick Clegg was never mentioned, the coalition just once. | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
It was, instead, a Tory rallying cry. Together, we have made it this | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
far. Together we will finish the job we have started and together we will | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
build that land of opportunity. What will stay in the memory from this | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
conference is the Tories' laser-like focus on the threat from Ed | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
Miliband, which they once laughed off. This was part a plea and part a | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
warning. A plea for the country not to shove the government out of power | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
before it has finished its job, a warning that he says Labour would | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
take the country back to 1970s socialism. He will have the chance | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
to make just one more conference speech before you get to decide | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
whether they can stay at number ten. As we heard, the Prime Minister | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
wants the under 25s to "earn or learn", as he put it, rather than | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
opting for a life on benefits. There are currently 1 million young people | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
who are not in education, employment or training - so-called NEETs - in | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
the UK. Our home editor, Mark Easton, is here to look at the | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
potential impact. The proportion of the UK's young | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
people who are NEETS has long been a significant cause for concern. The | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
number currently stands at just over 1 million young people - 15% of our | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
under 25-year-olds - much worse than many of our European neighbours. | :07:16. | :07:25. | |
It is a familiar story, a young person leaves school with few if any | :07:25. | :07:32. | |
qualifications, then finds that jobs are almost impossible to get, ends | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
up on welfare and cannot escape. I have been asking, can I have an | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
apprentice ship to start my tattooed job and people say not yet, not yet. | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
I kept -- that is all I kept getting cold. Academics calculate that | :07:48. | :07:59. | |
today's crop of NEETs will cost the state £22 billion to £100 billion. | :07:59. | :08:06. | |
There is a review looking at expanding training and | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
apprenticeships. One in five young workers is currently unemployed. But | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
he more controversial idea is to stop many young people's benefits, | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
as they do with some youngsters in the Netherlands. Conservative | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
sources say they propose ending automatic entitlement to housing | :08:23. | :08:32. | |
benefit, currently page to 400,000 under 25-year-olds. -- currently | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
paid. After school you should be taking advantages of the | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
opportunities we are providing for apprenticeships and traineeships, it | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
is just right that we extend this to the next election because youth | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
unemployment is an evil. There are concerns that stopping benefits may | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
make some people even less likely to get a job. I think it sends out a | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
very poor message at a time when we need to say to young people, you | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
will be supported to take risks in the early stage of your career. It | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
sends a poor message that the housing safety net could be | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
withdrawn. Nothing is going to happen straightaway. There's a | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
review, then a Conservative manifesto and then an election of | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
course. A government official and Treasury minister have told the BBC | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
course. A government official and that Jobseeker's Allowance may | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
become a payment for training the under 25s. What is clear is that the | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
Tories have got Britain's NEETs in their sights. | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
Our political editor, Nick Robinson, is in Manchester. We have heard a | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
series of speeches from party leaders in recent weeks, how do you | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
see things tonight? The sense I have had in the past couple of weeks in | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
particular is almost a back to the future. At the Conservative | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
conference they have stressed their desire for a smaller state, for | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
government to do less, a tougher welfare system, much more | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
traditional standards in education. That followed a week on from a | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
Labour conference with a labour leader who dared to talk about | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
socialism and presented himself as tough enough to stand up to | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
business, rather learn to simply cosy up to business. -- rather than. | :10:16. | :10:25. | |
David Cameron and Ed Miliband, I have a sense they are nostalgic for | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
the certainties of the Thatcher. The rhetoric is one thing but the policy | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
detail is another -- certainties of the Thatcher era. There are a lot of | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
questions about how the latest welfare crackdown woodwork, who | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
would lose, which benefits, at what level and when? That would all have | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
to be clarified. Questions about how Labour's policy of an energy freeze | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
would work in practice. Perhaps these two men now feel they have had | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
a chance to tell the country what they really, deep down sink. And | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
perhaps the country has a sense -- what they really, deep down, think | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
for the perhaps the country has a sense that not all politicians are | :11:07. | :11:14. | |
the same. A 23-year-old man has been detained | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
indefinitely under the Mental Health Act after admitting the manslaughter | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
of a teenager in Birmingham. Christina Edkins was stabbed to | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
death on a bus as she travelled to school. Her family say questions | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
need to be asked about whether Philip Simelane had been properly | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
supervised on his release from prison at the end of 2012. Our | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
correspondent, Sian Lloyd, reports from Birmingham. | :11:30. | :11:37. | |
Christina Edkins was a daughter, a sister and a promising pupil. Two | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
weeks after her 16th birthday, she was killed by a stranger on a way to | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
school. Phillip Simelane stabbed the teenager in the chest with a kitchen | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
knife. This is the moment he boarded the bus, two hours before Christina | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
got on. He had been homeless after being released from prison three | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
months earlier. The 23-year-old was diagnosed with paranoid | :12:01. | :12:08. | |
schizophrenia. The judge said it was difficult to understand how anyone | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
with his condition could be released without supervision. Christina's | :12:11. | :12:19. | |
family were in court, wearing purple, her favourite colour. They | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
believe she would be alive today if Phillip Simelane had been | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
supervised. It was clearly identified that this guy had a | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
severe problem. He had threatened his mother with a knife only a | :12:32. | :12:39. | |
matter of months before. It was clear he was a danger. Police had | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
been called to Phillip Simelane's family home 21 times. In July 2012 | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
he was jailed for threatening his mother with a knife. In prison, | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
mental health experts placed warning markers on his file. He was released | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
without supervision in December 2012. Phillip Simelane has been | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
detained at a secure clinic in Birmingham. The sentence passed | :13:03. | :13:09. | |
today means he cannot you released without an order from the secretary | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
of state. -- cannot be released. Mental health experts believe he | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
will need lifelong treatment but questions are being asked about how | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
a man with such severe mental illness could be released from | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
prison without supervision. The agencies involved in his case, | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
including two health trusts, are investigating. Mental health experts | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
who dealt with him recommended he received supervision, it seems he | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
fell through the cracks and was not picked up on the outside. March the | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
7th began as an ordinary day for Christine and her family, a girl who | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
was looking forward to the prom was on her way to school. She died | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
because she sat down near a man whose untreated illness led him to | :13:52. | :14:01. | |
kill. President Obama has called a meeting of all congressional | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
leaders, it's due to start in the next half-hour, to try to break the | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
budget deadlock which has caused the partial shutdown of the US | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
Government. There are fears that a prolonged stalemate will lead to | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
something of an economic crisis. Our correspondent is monitoring events. | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
Any sign at all that Democrats and Republicans are going to find some | :14:19. | :14:26. | |
common ground? There's always hope. At the moment, this feels more like | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
the theatre of negotiation and any meaningful attempt to reach a | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
compromise. Neither side wants to be seen to be dragging their heels, and | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
so they come up with plans, meetings and proposals. But there is very | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
little middle ground for them to even discuss. We heard today from | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
the banks, they came to the White House. They said how worried they | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
were about the damage this was doing the American economy. And we heard | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
from the heads of national intelligence agencies, who said how | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
worried they were about the damage this was doing to national security. | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
Amongst the problems is that this isn't just a battle between | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
Republicans and Democrats, this is a battle within the Republican party, | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
which in Congress is fairly sharply divided between and moderates. The | :15:07. | :15:16. | |
Italian government has survived a vote of confidence despite a threat | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
by the former Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, to bring it down. Mr | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
Berlusconi was forced into an abrupt change of plan after some of his own | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
party colleagues rejected his demands and supported the | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
government. The episode has raised questions about Mr Berlusconi's | :15:30. | :15:38. | |
future in Italian politics. A day of high Roman drama. Silvio Berlusconi | :15:38. | :15:45. | |
arrived at the Senate, having pledged to bring down the | :15:45. | :15:52. | |
government. Inside, the Prime Minister appealed for a vote of | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
confidence, saying Italians could not take any more scenes of what he | :15:55. | :16:01. | |
called political bloodshed. The government 's problems, he said, | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
must be separated from the legal problems of Silvio Berlusconi, and | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
that the government's collapse would be fatal for Italy. While he was | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
speaking, Silvio Berlusconi sauntered into the chamber, weary | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
from a night of trying to get his party to back him. There were | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
gestures of respect but dozens of his MPs were preparing to defy him. | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
So he announced an extraordinary U-turn. | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
TRANSLATION: Italy needs a government that can deliver reforms. | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
We have decided to support the government. The Prime Minister had | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
survived and gave this response to Mr Berlusconi's climb-down. When he | :16:41. | :16:50. | |
left the Senate, he faced boos and shouts from some of the crowd | :16:50. | :16:58. | |
outside. Some of his allies spoke bitterly of traitors in the party, | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
others tried to defend their leader. No, more than ever he has shown he | :17:02. | :17:13. | |
is a statesman. He took the decision is only considering the interests of | :17:13. | :17:20. | |
the country. Why this drama? Instability in Italy could have | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
shaken the eurozone. After all the days of political intrigue, there is | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
one unanswered question. Is Italy any more stable now than it was? Is | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
it any more capable of carrying out much-needed reforms in the midst of | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
the longest recession since World War II? This crisis has shown Silvio | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
Berlusconi's influence slipping away. There was a moment today when | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
the man who has dominated Italian politics for 20 years appeared | :17:46. | :17:55. | |
weak, and he knew it. A teenager accused of plotting terrorist | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
attacks and targeting lost brothers gone on trial at the Old Bailey. | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
Prosecutors say the boy, who was 16 at the time, made a plan based on a | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
mass shooting at Columbine, a high school back in America back in 19 | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
99. He has admitted possessing pipe bombs but has denied other charges | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
under the terrorism act. The town of Loughborough. Was this the intended | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
target for a 16-year-old Boyd's alleged campaign of terror? A court | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
was told today the teenager planned a series of lethal ataxia, including | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
one at his former school. The boy, who can't be identified for legal | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
reasons, has Asperger's, a form of autism. So a court appointed | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
intermediary sat with him in the dock. He listened as the prosecution | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
intermediary sat with him in the described how a police search of his | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
home revealed The Mujahideen Poisons Handbook and weapons. Nine petrol | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
bombs, several pipe bombs along with guns and ammunition. And a notebook | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
containing his alleged plans for the school. He wrote about entering each | :19:01. | :19:07. | |
classroom, taking out the teachers. Use explosives to eliminate most of | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
the students. Although the teenager denies any connection with | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
terrorism, he has admitted to charges of possessing explosives. | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
The members of the jury have been told they have to decide whether he | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
is just a social mitzvot or something much more sinister. | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
Tomorrow the court will hear more details of his alleged plans to | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
Tomorrow the court will hear more attack the residents of his | :19:30. | :19:36. | |
hometown. In Greece, the political chaos of the past few years has been | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
intensified by the growth of the extreme right wing party called | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
Golden Dawn. Its leader, Nikolaos Michaloliakos, has been in court | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
this evening charged with organising a criminal group. He and five MPs | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
have been arrested and also charged with assault, money-laundering and | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
charges linked to the murder of a singer and left-wing activist, | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
Pavlos Fyssas. He was stabbed to death by a Golden Dawn supporter. | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
The investigation has prompted new allegations of violence amongst | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
party members. This report does contain some flash photography. A | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
party leader or a criminal boss? Nikolaos Michaloliakos is the head | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
of Golden Dawn, led to court a night charged with running an organised | :20:20. | :20:27. | |
crime gang. Accounts are murder, assault and money-laundering. Golden | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
Dawn has soared with Greece's economic collapse coming out of | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
nowhere to get 18 MPs are the third most popular party. It is an | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
intensely secretive organisation, but we had very rare insight from an | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
ex-supporter. TRANSLATION: I saw clubs and seats. | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
They talked of eating up gay and dark skinned people. Then a party | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
member came to visit me. He said he could break someone's arm and leg | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
for 300 euros. Burn a car for 1000. At the guy in hospital for 1500. | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
for 300 euros. Burn a car for 1000. Later, he came back and told us not | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
to say a word or he would burn us alive. It was after a left-wing | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
musician, Pavlos Fyssas, was killed by an alleged Golden Dawn member, | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
that the police clamp-down began. Huge protests demanded that the | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
party be reined in. But footage from one appeared to back claims of | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
police collusion. These men are alongside police fighting back | :21:24. | :21:25. | |
police collusion. These men are protesters. At least one of them is | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
now identified as belonging to Golden Dawn. That, says this | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
migrant, is why the party got away with it. He was almost killed a year | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
ago, he says by suspected Golden Dawn supporters, but nothing was | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
done. TRANSLATION: They asked me where I | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
was far from. I said Pakistan and TRANSLATION: They asked me where I | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
they stopped me. The police did nothing. They never talked to me | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
again. Because I'm a foreigner. If I was Greek then they would act. Now | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
I'm terrified to go outside. I want to leave Greece for England, where | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
it's safe. Nazi paraphernalia at the home of one of the Golden Dawn MPs | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
charged. The views of the party and violent reputation were known, but | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
authorities say they could only act when they have approved. Outside the | :22:10. | :22:14. | |

remained defiant. They say they are simply proud nationalists, victims | :22:19. | :22:31. | |
of a political witchhunt. The party has a huge hit in the past | :22:31. | :22:32. | |
fortnight, but it still has a has a huge hit in the past | :22:32. | :22:34. | |

destroying its ideology will be far harder. It's been a mixed night for | :22:44. | :22:50. | |
Manchester's clubs tonight. City suffered a 3-1 defeat at home to | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
Bayern Munich. United left Ukraine with a point after a 1-1 draw | :22:54. | :23:01. | |
against Shakhtar Donetsk. But David Moyes a handshake and a headache. | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
How to revive Manchester United's stumbling start to the season? The | :23:05. | :23:11. | |
answer, like this. Danny Welbeck, in four Wayne Rooney, prodding them | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
ahead and prompting a roar of relief. Back came Shakhtar Donetsk | :23:15. | :23:23. | |
with 15 minutes left, Tyson blasted them level but United have clung on | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
for a gutsy draw. As for Manchester City, they had a night to forget | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
against Bayern Munich. It began with a goalkeeping glitch. Ribeiro read | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
giving Bayern Munich the lead with a hefty helping hand from Joe Hart. | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
His night and city's didn't improve. Bayern Munich blew them away after | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
the break. It was 2-0 before their misery was completed in some sap | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
cashbacks and style. At least Negredo gave them something to | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
cheer. But a 3-1 defeat will be little consolation. One of the | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
world's bestselling authors, Tom Clancy, has died at the age of 66. | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
He was made famous by books including The Hunt For Red October | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
and Patriot Games. He was amongst the first wave of popular writers to | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
and Patriot Games. He was amongst translate that success to other | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
formats, including Hollywood blockbusters and video games. The | :24:18. | :24:26. | |
film adaptation of Tom Clancy's 1982 debut novel, The Hunt For Red | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
October. Described by the then-President Ronald Reagan as, my | :24:32. | :24:38. | |
kind of yarn will stop the Cold War thriller launched the author's Korea | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
and that of his fictional protagonist, Jack Ryan. A CIA | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
operative who would appear in protagonist, Jack Ryan. A CIA | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
subsequent novels, several of which would also be turned into Hollywood | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
blockbusters. Clancy gave his adrenaline inducing stories added | :24:50. | :24:56. | |
potency by meticulously researching factual details. I pay attention to | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
potency by meticulously researching the real world. I find the people in | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
that business and I say, is that possible? In the mid-90s he wrote | :25:04. | :25:11. | |
debt of honour, a book some consider prophetic, for featuring a passenger | :25:11. | :25:17. | |
plane crashing into Washington's Capitol building. I discussed it | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
with an air force officer. He goes, Mr Clancy, to the best of my | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
knowledge, if we had a plane to do this it would be secret, I wouldn't | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
be able to talk to you about it. But to the best of my knowledge we have | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
never looked at this possibility before. He was fascinated by naval | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
history from an early age, but Poor eyesight prevented him from pursuing | :25:38. | :25:45. | |
a career in it. Before long, he was one of the world 's wealthiest and | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
best-known novelist. In 1986, the New York Times described his writing | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
as a verbal equivalent of a high-tech video game, an area of | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
entertainment the enterprising author was successfully to enter | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
into. Writing, Tom Clancy said, was like playing golf. You kept going | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
until you got it right, which, his millions of fans would agree, he | :26:06. | :26:07. | |
did. | :26:08. | :26:09. |
