Dr Ian Paisley, the firebrand of hardline unionism | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
He ended up sharing power, even friendship, with those who were | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
We were once opponents but today, I have lost a friend. | :00:17. | :00:28. | |
We'll be looking at how the man, nicknamed Dr No, | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
eventually said yes to a deal that brought peace to Northern Ireland. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
Oscar Pistorius is convicted of manslaughter after killing | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
Only once they have gone through it will they know what it is like. | :00:37. | :00:55. | |
In Edinburgh, with six days to go until | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
the Scottish referendum, a frenetic round of campaigning is underway. | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
Alex Salmond and Ed Miliband push for every Yes and No vote | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
as a new poll suggests the result is still on a knife edge. | :01:03. | :01:15. | |
Yorkshire cricket's county champions for the first time in 13 years. They | :01:16. | :01:23. | |

The Reverend Ian Paisley, the distinctive and implacable voice | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
of hardline unionism in Northern Ireland, has died. | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
He co`founded the Democratic Unionist Party | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
and led unionist opposition to Irish republicanism for 37 years. | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
In one of the most remarkable political transformations | :01:55. | :01:55. | |
of recent times, he agreed to share power with his former enemies | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
in the Northern Ireland Assembly in 2007 as First Minister. | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
Among the many tributes to him today, the former IRA commander | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
and Dr Paisley's partner in government, Martin McGuinness, | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
With the first of tonight's reports, here's our political editor, | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
Loved and loathed, admired and feared. Peacemaker MPs breaker. `` | :02:15. | :02:38. | |
and peace breaker. For decades, Ian Paisley was the embodiment of the | :02:39. | :02:47. | |
slogan, Ulster says no, no surrender, no compromise. Until | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
remarkably, seven years ago, he was transformed into the man who said | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
yes, yes to becoming First Minister of his country, yes to working with | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
the deputy, once an IRA man in bitter enemy, Martin McGuinness. I | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
think we confounded everybody. were political opponents for | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
decades, his allegiance to Britain, mine to Ireland, but we had a proper | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
decent working relationship and friendship. Ministers who once | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
feared him came to like and admire him. Ian Paisley was the Unionist | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
leader who militantly always said no but at the moment, when it became | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
possible to get a deal with Sinn Fein, he said yes. Nobody else could | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
have done that and he therefore would have a legacy of transforming | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
Northern Ireland from horror and evil into hope and peace. His | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
response to the brutal bloody sectarian violence, which scarred | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
his country from 1969, throughout the 70s, 80s, half of the 90s was to | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
protest, March and threaten on behalf of the Unionists. His became | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
a brand name for the fight against Irish republicanism. A man with no | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
apparent self doubt, he created his own free Presbyterians church, | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
political party. With the first attempt at power`sharing failed, he | :04:26. | :04:33. | |
succeeded, becoming an MP and later, NDP. To many Catholics, he was | :04:34. | :04:41. | |
simply a bigot, a man who had to be ejected from the European Parliament | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
for calling the Pope the Antichrist. In 1998, with the people of Northern | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
Ireland said yes to the Good Friday agreement, he continued to Balerno. | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
He accused the then leader, David Trimble, of selling out and doing | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
dirty deals with terrorists who had yet to give up their weapons. But | :05:02. | :05:11. | |
when they did, the man whose religion was so fundamentalist | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
showed that his politics could be pragmatic. Their bond became so | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
close that they were soon dubbed the chuckle Brothers. That | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
transformation from the once terrifying firebrand was too much | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
for some of his own supporters to bear, too much for others to | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
believe. But his wife says it was rooted in their deep shared | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
religious faith. Yes, we discussed it, we read about it, how we could | :05:38. | :05:48. | |
lose friends and probably would but we thought, the country has come | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
through such a terrible time and people right across the board have | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
been hurt and damaged beyond all description and we can't continue | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
that. Politicians who negotiated with him found a vast gulf between | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
the private Paisley, softly spoken, courteous, witty, and the public | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
persona they feared and even despite. His contribution to peace | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
in Northern Ireland has been immense. He ultimately took the | :06:19. | :06:27. | |
decision to make it happen. Ian Paisley was of course preacher as | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
well as politician. He had been ill for some time. In his final sermon, | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
he reflected on the inevitability of death. Not all his enemies have | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
forgiven him, not all will be grieving tonight, but those who are | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
we give thanks for the man once known as Doctor no who went on to | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
become Doctor yes. politics for almost half a century. | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
His personality and his decision to opinion. Our Ireland correspondent, | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
Chris Buckler, As you have been hearing, he was a | :06:58. | :07:14. | |
man of contradictions. He was so charming one minute and terrifying | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
the next. Many Catholics saw them is a frightening figure. On the other | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
hand, many unionists regarded him as a campaigner, hero. That may well | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
have been his obituary until he agreed to do the deal with Sinn | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
Fein. As a result, he has a very complicated legacy. Time and time | :07:38. | :07:46. | |
again, Ian Paisley has been referred to as a towering figure, his place | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
in history was remembered at Belfast City Hall today the place where | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
decades before, he vowed never to do a deal with Republicans. But that | :07:59. | :08:06. | |
was in many ways a different era. I expect it will go down in history | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
books. There is no doubt that Ian Paisley played a part in bringing | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
peace to this part of the UK. Investment can be seen in Belfast | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
because of the troubles. But there was a personal cost. It is true that | :08:22. | :08:47. | |
he was hurt. The Bible speaks about being wounded in the house of one's | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
friends. On the other side of this city, Ian Paisley was for most of | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
his life seen as the enemy. The Catholic population were terrified | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
of the effect of the things he said early on in his career but I was | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
most happy that he chose the party chose towards the end. And his | :09:10. | :09:18. | |
actions do have a legacy for new generations. These teenagers were | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
born in the late 1990s, when the peace process was cemented. We study | :09:22. | :09:29. | |
him and Northern Ireland has a history course in GCSE. They do see | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
the benefit of those years of political progress. I wouldn't say | :09:35. | :09:45. | |
there is a division. And in this cafe, many were struggling to | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
understand the true reason by Ian Paisley finally agreed to a deal | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
with Sinn Fein after so many years of refusing to even talk to them. He | :09:54. | :10:00. | |
met the enemy. It's easy to demonise the other side when they are far | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
away and you can make whatever assumptions you like about them. Ian | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
Paisley will certainly be remembered, not least in the church | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
he once preached. No one can live that he made a mark in his short | :10:15. | :10:16. | |
time. The South African athlete | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
Oscar Pistorius has been found guilty of the culpable homicide or | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
the manslaughter The parents of Reeva Steenkamp have | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
said they are "shocked" The judge said the 27`year`old | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
Olympic and Paralympic sprinter had acted negligently when he fired | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
a gun through his bathroom door, killing Reeva Steenkamp, | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
but he was cleared of murder. Pistorius will be | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
sentenced next month. He could face up to 15 years | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
behind bars. Our Africa correspondent, | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
Andrew Harding, joins us Five months of drama and suspense | :10:45. | :11:01. | |
ended saw topically in Pretoria today. The judge finally came to her | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
verdict. But it was not quite murder nor was it an acquittal. Reeva | :11:08. | :11:15. | |
Steenkamp's family were not entirely satisfied. It's judgement time. A | :11:16. | :11:25. | |
dramatic pause as Oscar Pistorius stands and weights. The unanimous | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
decision of this court is the following... The judge gets straight | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
to the point. The accused is found not guilty and is discharged. | :11:38. | :11:46. | |
Instead, he is found guilty of culpable homicide. For once, a muted | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
reaction. He had been warned to expect this lesser verdict. Reeva | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
Steenkamp's family and friends try to contain their emotions. From the | :12:00. | :12:08. | |
nightly athlete her, believing as the judge now agrees that an | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
intruder had broken in through to Pistorius's own tearful evidence at | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
his murder trial. She was not breathing. To the anxious wait | :12:19. | :12:30. | |
yesterday and today to a verdict. Immediately afterwards, his uncalled | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
thanked the judge for rejecting the charge of murder. We as a family | :12:34. | :12:42. | |
remain deeply affected by the devastating tragedy of event and it | :12:43. | :12:53. | |
won't bring her back but our hearts still go out for her family and | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
friends. When it comes to murder, Oscar Pistorius has been given the | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
benefit of the doubt many here consider he has had a lucky escape. | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
As the Reeva Steenkamp's friends and family, they still need to know | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
whether her killer will spend any time in prison. We have to learn to | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
live without her now. The grieving family have expressed | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
disappointment. Only people that have gone through this will | :13:22. | :13:31. | |
understand. It's easy for other people to look in and see and listen | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
but only once they have gone through it will they know what it is like. | :13:38. | :13:45. | |
Today, Pistorius left court still on bail in a nation no longer startled | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
by the idea of a famous white man being judged by a black woman. She | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
will decide if he goes to prison next month. He could still get a | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
prison term. This is very serious because of the use of a firearm and | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
the fact that four shots were fired. Tonight, Pistorius is back at a | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
relative's house, if all an icon hoping for freedom in a country | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
still wondering whether justice has been done. | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
Oscar Pistorius has been an icon for Paralympic sport and for | :14:19. | :14:20. | |
South Africa since he won his first gold at the | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
Force of personality and sheer determination helped him | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
win many more in the years to come but some who | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
knew him had concerns about a more troubled side to his personality. | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
Our chief sports correspondent, Dan Roan, reports. | :14:36. | :14:43. | |
Oscar Pistorius did more than win races. He changed the way the world | :14:44. | :14:51. | |
viewed disability. But long before you became extraordinary, ordinary | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
was all he wanted to be. They may call me the blade runner, but I was | :14:56. | :15:04. | |
just Oscar. Today, I can look back and say my parents made the right | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
decision. Few know Pistorius as well as this Olympian, his long`term | :15:11. | :15:19. | |
training partner. I can't count how many times he hugged me. A | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
gentleman. He will stick to his ways. That dream began when at | :15:25. | :15:32. | |
school, Pistorius was given prosthetics and began to run. It was | :15:33. | :15:41. | |
here in Pretoria in March 2004 when a teenage Pistorius, after just two | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
months of training with blades, showed just how good he was. | :15:46. | :15:57. | |
Confidence was no problem as Pistorius told the BBC in 2007. I | :15:58. | :16:05. | |
put in more hours, eat better, the better, I am more diligent. Oscar | :16:06. | :16:15. | |
Pistorius is flying away from all of them! Paralympic golds followed in | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
Athens and Beijing. By now, Pistorius had become a brand. They | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
told me I would never walk, the man with no legs can't drive, anything | :16:26. | :16:33. | |
is you want to tell me? In 2012, Pistorius made history. But there | :16:34. | :16:44. | |
was controversy in London. He told me they had to move out of the room | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
because Oscar had gone hysterical and was shouting and screaming on | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
the phone. I heard the story from so many other athletes who said it was | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
terrible to witness this incredible meltdown. He later said he left the | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
room on medical advice before a big race. There was a growing sense fame | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
and fortune had gone to his team`mates had. At Pretoria | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
University where the story is based his training a new generation of | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
Paralympic hopefuls remain loyal. He is still an inspiration for me. Even | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
though these circumstances. When I lost my leg I saw him doing so well | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
without two legs and he was a role model of mine. The story is being | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
sentence next month his feature remains unclear. `` with Pistorius. | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
In terms of Paralympics he was the first global star. Now life for him | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
will be incredibly different. People already asking if he can return to | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
athletics. I think Rio is virtually impossible. It is how he feels | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
psychologically and how people will treat him around the world. The | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
world. Pistorius will now be defined by tragic events away from the | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
track. Whatever his punishment. One of sports most dramatic falls from | :17:57. | :18:10. | |
grace is complete. Six days to go to a referendum. Both sides are pushing | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
hard for every last vote. Sophie is in Edinburgh. The campaigning has | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
intensified. The First Minister Alex and took the yes campaign on a world | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
winter of seven cities in Scotland while the Labour leader Ed Miliband | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
was joined by the former prime ministers Gordon Brown at a rally in | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
Glasgow urging people to vote no. The latest polls suggest the result | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
close to call. So close in fact that the Chancellor George Osborne has | :18:36. | :18:44. | |
pulled out of G20 talks in Australia next weekend saying he felt he | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
should stay in the UK given the economic risks if Scotland votes | :18:48. | :18:49. | |
yes. Lorna Gordon reports. A report contains flash photography. | :18:50. | :19:03. | |
Both sides are neck and back. Alex Salmond believes it could happen. | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
This week has seen a coordinated intervention by banks and some | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
businesses questioning the wisdom of a yes vote. The rhetoric from both | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
side is ramping up. We will not be bullied out of our opportunity. Our | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
once`in`a`lifetime opportunity to create a prosperous country. And a | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
fairer society. Some people are now beyond the reach of the political | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
cut and thrust. The postal votes have already been cast. This is the | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
largest electorate who have ever registered here in Scotland. There | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
could be a record turnout. It is not clear which side that would favour. | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
This time next week we will know how Scotland has voted. At the moment it | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
looks as if the result could be incredibly close. Tonight, here in | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
Glasgow, the campaigning has been continuing. Gordon Brown is saying | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
the Scottish Parliament has the powers to run services like the NHS. | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
And that will stay the case if Scotland votes no. I give this | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
guarantee that we as Scots with these powers, we guarantee the | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
National Health Service will remain in public hands, universal free at | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
the point of need, for ever, or as long as the Scottish people wanted. | :20:22. | :20:29. | |
Also this evening there was noisy opposition to a visit from the UK | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
Peter none shall Farage wading into the arguments over Scotland's | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
future. `` Ukip leader Nigel Farage. It's not clear what the affects the | :20:39. | :20:46. | |
intervention will have if any. This is about separation from England and | :20:47. | :20:55. | |
signing up... APPLAUSE Signing up to a new treaty to be a | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
part, to be a province of a full EU state. This final weekend will see a | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
huge push from both sides, the stakes could not be higher and there | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
are likely to be thousands of volunteers campaigning on the | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
ground. We few days away from the people of Scotland taking control of | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
the future of our own country. The Westminster Establishment doesn't | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
want that to happen and they will throw everything they can but I | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
don't think it will work. Amongst the heated political arguments time | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
for a little humour amongst voters. I have the time to decide draws ever | :21:33. | :21:40. | |
closer. `` as the time to decide. Tonight the polls are on a knife | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
edge and voters face a decision with the polls are on a knife edge and | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
voters face a decision with good Allan Little has been looking at how | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
Scottish independence for so long a distant dream for a minority of | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
Scots has moved into mainstream politics. They have come a long | :21:56. | :22:03. | |
way. In the Scotland of 30 years ago Scottish Nationalists were | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
relatively marginal to the political discourse. Seen by many as dreamers, | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
eccentrics. Most people took the unity of the UK for granted like | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
them. How has independence come to occupy the centre ground? In 1979 | :22:15. | :22:21. | |
Scotland failed to secure even a relatively weak National Assembly. | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
How does the same nation now stand on the brink perhaps of outright | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
independence? In the 1970s in Scotland Britain, the British state, | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
counted for a lot. It's dug coal colour milled steel, built ships, | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
manufactured motorcars, supplied the electricity that that your home and | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
the cash equipped with. `` you the gas you cooked with. If you were a | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
minor in Midlothian you are part of a community of shared interest with | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
minors in Yorkshire and south Wales. This industrial Scotland was | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
part of a vast pan British enterprise. The 1980s changed all | :23:02. | :23:08. | |
that. The working class communities that sustain the great nationalised | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
industries were bedrocks of British identity and sentiment. In Scotland. | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
They have all but gone. Go back a little further. For anyone born in | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
the first decade of the 20th century Britain meant empire. Scotland was | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
locked into a system of global trade known as Imperial preference. When | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
that generation thought of the world, they thought of the old kith | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
and kin family of English speaking nations. They thought of Durban and | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
Delhi and Singapore and Sydney. Not Paris or Rome Berlin. Go for it a | :23:41. | :23:47. | |
generation to anyone born in the 1930s. For them a powerful sense of | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
Britishness was anchored in the experience of the Second World War. | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
From which Britain and merged with immense moral stature. The Carter | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
sanction your Majesty, and means it. That and the post`war reforms of the | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
government which launched the age of Social Security, universal health | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
care, full employment and ever greater social equality. `` says | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
thank you your Majesty. This is the world into which we generation was | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
born, the bonds of shared experience and values that I Scotland to the | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
rest of the UK was strong. Even as they evolved through Empire, | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
industry, world war, and welfare state. `` that tide. From the 1980s | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
they began to weaken. Scotland repeatedly voted Labour. After each | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
election a team of Conservative ministers took office at St Andrews | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
house to govern. Scotland began to talk of a democratic deficit. To | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
challenge not just couldn't policy, but the very legitimacy of | :24:45. | :24:46. | |
Westminster rule. `` government policy. Scottish Labour moved on to | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
this territory and became the champion of a strong devolved | :24:54. | :24:55. | |
Scottish parliament. With primary legislative powers. When it was | :24:56. | :25:03. | |
established in 1999 Labour thought its very existence would kill | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
nationalism stone dead. Instead, Holyrood became the focal point of a | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
distinct Scottish political space. The independence caused stage not to | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
lie down and die. `` did not. In this campaign the course has raised | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
a far broader spectrum of people than the SNP 's traditional support | :25:24. | :25:30. | |
base. It has in particular attracted large numbers of people normally | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
inclined to vote Labour. What are the ties that bind the union now? | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
How strong are they? One for sure is the enduring sentiment of | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
Britishness. Many Scots still feel British to their core. The prounion | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
campaign also relied heavily on fear. Fear of uncertainty. `` pro | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
union campaigners. If the Scots vote no next week what is the future of | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
the union? Will the genie of Scottish independence go back into | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
its bottle? If I've learned anything from reporting this campaign over | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
the last 12 months or so it is this. If unionists survive future | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
generations of Scots will need reasons to love it as our | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
grandparents and parents generations did. And not just to fear | :26:17. | :26:29. | |
alternative. You can see more of that on panorama on BBC1 at 830 on | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
Monday evening. Brian Taylor joins me now. Six days to go. The | :26:35. | :26:37. | |
atmosphere is increasingly fractious. Deutsche Bank is issued | :26:38. | :26:45. | |
what can only be described as an apocalyptic assessment of what it | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
sees as the damage associated with independence. Alex Salmond is | :26:50. | :26:52. | |
pursuing his complaint against the Treasury, who he accused is for | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
releasing sensitive information about RBS. A business person has | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
lodged a police complaint. Princes Street in Edinburgh earlier today, | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
there was a basket giving us a selection from Alvis. I swear his | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
tempo increased as he was surrounded by the cavalcade of campaigners. `` | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
Elvis. They have to decide which side they trust, Jews they believe | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
the economy would thrive or flounder under independence? `` do they | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
believe. There is a seamless to creeping in over Edinburgh, it is | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
scarcely conducive to clarity. `` sea mist. The people of Scotland | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
have to pick their way through a my asthma of competing offers and | :27:37. | :27:45. | |

party leader. `` Oxbridge for Uxbridge. It was put to him, was | :28:09. | :28:16. | |
this the first step on the road to demonstrate? He rejected that are | :28:17. | :28:19. | |
plenty of people will wonder. I should warn you, my report contains | :28:20. | :28:26. | |
flash photography. Boris Johnson already has one drop. He arrived | :28:27. | :28:29. | |
with his wife this evening looking for another as a member of | :28:30. | :28:36. | |
Parliament. It's a very good field and I will do my best. He used to | :28:37. | :28:40. | |
say he wouldn't stand for the Commons while he was still mad but | :28:41. | :28:44. | |
he has changed his mind and decided he wants to serve this suburban | :28:45. | :28:49. | |
London seat at the end of a July and decided he wants to serve this | :28:50. | :28:52. | |
suburban London seat at the end of a July commuters here have got a | :28:53. | :28:55. | |
household name candidate but will they want an MP who is already a | :28:56. | :29:01. | |
mayor? Maybe, if you put in the hard work. He's done enough for London | :29:02. | :29:06. | |
and he has helped with the new buses and the bikes. He is to Rekik he's | :29:07. | :29:11. | |
done wonders for London. As an MP, no, he is too much of a loose | :29:12. | :29:18. | |
cannon. He is grateful. He urged tonight a Conservative candidate, | :29:19. | :29:21. | |
plenty of Tories think he fancies himself as a Conservative leader as | :29:22. | :29:27. | |
well. I am obviously thrilled. It will be a tough and wrong fight but | :29:28. | :29:32. | |
I have no doubt whatever, that we are going to be able to return. | :29:33. | :29:37. | |
David Cameron and the Conservatives, with an absolute majority in 2015. | :29:38. | :29:41. | |
