Tonight at Ten, the BBC apologises to the victims of Jimmy Savile | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
and Stuart Hall - who carried out decades of abuse at the corporation. | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
An independent inquiry found there were many missed opportunities | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
to uncover their behaviour - partly because of a culture | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
Both of these men used their fame and positions as BBC celebrities | :00:20. | :00:27. | |
They must be condemned for their monstrous behaviour. | :00:28. | :00:37. | |
The report identified 72 people who were abused by Jimmy Savile, | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
but some of the victims say they're not satisfied with the findings. | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
I feel really let down, really let down, because all right, | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
yeah, she's saying about it's only the middle people that knew and it | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
And separately, the DJ Tony Blackburn is sacked by the BBC | :00:53. | :01:00. | |
in a dispute about his evidence to the review. | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
We'll have details of the report, and we'll be hearing more reaction | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
Also tonight: New figures show that net migration to the UK | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
remains near record levels, sparking more debate | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
The latest stage in the FBI's battle with Apple - | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
it wants the company to unlock an iPhone that was used by a gunman. | :01:23. | :01:30. | |
And back on track - the magnificent Flying Scotsman | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
steaming its way from London to York. | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
Tonight on BBC London: A public meeting becomes heated and hostile | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
over plans for a Thames crossing between Kent and Essex. | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
And paying out to passengers - a rail company gives automatic | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
An independent inquiry has found that serious failings at the BBC | :01:47. | :02:12. | |
allowed Jimmy Savile and Stuart Hall to sexually abuse dozens of victims. | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
The review by the former High Court judge Dame Janet Smith found that | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
several opportunities were missed to stop them, | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
partly because of a culture of fear at the corporation. | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
The "monstrous sexual abuse" - in Dame Janet's words - | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
happened over a period of six decades. | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
And the report reveals that Savile assaulted 72 people, | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
Our first report is from our special correspondent, Lucy Manning. | :02:35. | :02:43. | |
While millions were watching the BBC, no one was keeping | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
The BBC created him and allowed a paedophile to prey on its viewers | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
And in the north, Stuart Hall was using his fame to sexually | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
Savile assaulting girls on Top Of The Pops, raping children, | :02:58. | :03:06. | |
and never stopped because he was viewed as untouchable, | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
yet many staff aware of rumours about him. | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
Both of these men used their fame and positions as BBC celebrities | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
They must be condemned for their monstrous behaviour. | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
But the culture of the BBC certainly enabled both Savile and Stuart Hall | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
You say that no senior managers knew what Savile was up to. | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
Isn't this, as some of the victims think, a whitewash? | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
Kevin Cook was just nine, when Savile sexually assaulted him | :03:48. | :03:58. | |
after a visit to Jim'll Fix It - one of 17 victims from the show. | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
They seem to be laying the blame at the feet of all the junior | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
managers, and I cannot believe that it got no further up the chain. | :04:07. | :04:16. | |
Do you think people at the BBC could and should have stopped | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
As I understand it there were some accusations with Savile in early | :04:19. | :04:29. | |
'70s, '72 or '73, so I feel that I shouldn't be here. | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
He received compensation from the BBC and does | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
The BBC failed you when it should have protected you. | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
I am deeply sorry for the hurt caused to each and every one of you. | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
The priest who helped Savile write his book on religion is named | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
as one of three BBC people who could have done something about him. | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
I've got utter, utter sadness that I was so... | :05:01. | :05:11. | |
..angled towards the programme and towards getting some ideas | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
across and that he could actually help me to do that. | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
I feel very bad that I didn't see through and further. | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
One casualty of this report, the DJ Tony Blackburn, | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
He said he had been hung out to dry after his evidence | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
He was the DJ behind the headlines about 15-year-old Claire McAlpine's | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
suicide in 1971, after allegations she was seduced by a celebrity. | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
In a statement today, he denied any inappropriate conduct | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
and said, they are destroying my career and reputation | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
because my version of events does not tally with that. | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
The BBC have decided to make me a scapegoat. | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
Tony Blackburn fell short of the standards of evidence that | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
I am making no judgment or accusations about events | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
or behaviours about what happened in the past. | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
As for Stuart Hall, the report did find senior managers knew | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
about his inappropriate sexual behaviour. | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
Amanda was assaulted by him, after he'd been filming | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
The BBC are still guilty in the fact that they knew and no one came | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
Over the time, the 40 years, I've thought to myself, | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
should I have done something about it? | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
It's all about the missed opportunities to stop | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
all the years, it seems no one in charge at any organisation seemed | :06:51. | :07:12. | |
The days of victims being told "keep your mouth shut, | :07:13. | :07:22. | |
In her report Dame Janet said the culture at the BBC | :07:23. | :07:32. | |
Celebrities were "untouchable" and staff were reluctant | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
She went on to assert that "an atmosphere of fear" still exists | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
Our correspondent David Sillito examines how Jimmy Savile was able | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
There is flash photography in his report. | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
VOICE-OVER: It's number one, It's Top Of The Pops. | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
I think we were deluded, deluded by celebrity, | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
Radio 1 was chaos, Top of the Pops was chaos, | :08:02. | :08:09. | |
because in those days disc jockeys were stars. | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
What did people know behind-the-scenes? | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
He was with a girl, a prepubescent girl, | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
I remember she was completely flat-chested and she was wearing | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
Don't look so shocked, this is what he was like, you know. | :08:32. | :08:40. | |
This is Wilfred De'Ath who was in the 60s a BBC radio producer. | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
He says Savile and his very young companion met him in a restaurant | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
So there was never any question you'd have gone to the police over | :08:48. | :08:59. | |
Unthinkable, David. Unthinkable. | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
Some people have said good luck to him. | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
And this, Sylvia Edwards, assaulted on air. | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
Top of the Pops described today as a moral danger. | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
Maybe some of these higher up people need to come down | :09:20. | :09:27. | |
And see what's going on on the floor. | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
They knew it was going on, they should have employed someone | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
Apologising and offering counselling is 40 years too | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
And remember, throughout these years his career was blossoming. | :09:37. | :09:45. | |
He presented programmes for the religious department. | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
I think for quite a while I've wished, looking back, | :09:51. | :09:59. | |
Of course he was a knight of the realm | :10:00. | :10:07. | |
He was a personal friend of Margaret Thatcher and a house | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
And even Mary Whitehouse gave him an award for | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
wholesome programmes for young people. | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
If you think is right to make love before you're married put | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
There are a few hands creeping up there. | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
I think at that time he was untouchable. | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
If you want to understand untouchable, try this. | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
Other DJs gave 24-hour contact details. | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
If you wanted Jimmy Savile contact Leeds | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
You're always doing something physical like cycling. | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
And then there are these extraordinary | :10:49. | :10:50. | |
This on a tea-time show, the question about self | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
The only time you punish yourself is when you are with young | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
And you punish yourself because you're such a villain. | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
You should be kind to them and you're | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
not kind to them and you squeeze them and make them go 'ouch' | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
Jane was 15 when she was assaulted on Top of the Pops. | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
She feels people at the top must have | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
known, but she's also had a personal apology and this, | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
a record of just what was allowed to happen. | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
The enormity of what happened to so many | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
And if it stops, you know, celebrity, or any other person | :11:29. | :11:39. | |
in a position where they take advantage of somebody. | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
And hopefully it will give other people | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
who are experiencing similar things the courage to speak. | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
As we've heard, the BBC has confirmed that the DJ Tony Blackburn | :11:51. | :11:59. | |
has left the corporation as a result of Dame Janet's report, | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
but he claims he's been sacked and made a scapegoat. | :12:03. | :12:04. | |
Our special correspondent Lucy Manning asked the BBC's | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
Director-General Lord Hall about Mr Blackburn's departure | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
as well as the management culture at the corporation. | :12:10. | :12:20. | |
What we've got to do is to learn the lessons of how an organisation | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
I think there was enough out there as Dame Janet says | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
for an organisation that was attuned to listening to people that | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
were scanning the press outside, scanning | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
what was being said, I feel there was more to be done. | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
Tony Blackburn wasn't found guilty of any | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
misconduct in this report, so why sack him? | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
We've parted company because Dame Janet made it clear | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
that the investigation which she was asked about was really | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
important to her investigation into the BBC. | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
Tony Blackburn was interviewed according | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
to the records, according to her belief, by two people. | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
She says she doesn't believe his evidence. | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
He says you've made him a scapegoat and | :13:09. | :13:10. | |
This is not about allegations about what might or might not have | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
Dame Janet rejects his evidence to the inquiry. | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
When we are having an inquiry which we want to be open | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
and to lead to proper conclusions that people can learn from, | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
and this organisation can learn from, then is really important that | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
everyone behaves in a proper way, and she | :13:30. | :13:31. | |
It's fair enough for him to have a different | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
recollection, isn't it, without him losing his job? | :13:36. | :13:37. | |
I would point you to the paragraphs in her report where she says | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
that his solicitor said you should believe the documents you have | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
in front of you rather than what my client has said. | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
You are the head of an organisation that | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
Because we should have known, we could have known, | :13:51. | :13:59. | |
in my view, and we could have done something to stop this. | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
And that's why I think today is about apology | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
to the victims, survivors I prefer to call them, | :14:07. | :14:08. | |
That was Lord Hall speaking to our special correspondent, | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
And for details of organisations which offer advice and support | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
on sexual abuse, you can go online to bbc.co.uk/actionline, | :14:21. | :14:25. | |

David Cameron insists the government is taking action to cut net | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
migration, despite the latest figures. | :14:46. | :14:47. | |
They show that net migration to the UK - | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
the difference between the number of people coming in and leaving - | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
It's a long way off Mr Cameron's promised target of tens | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
Our deputy political editor James Landale has more details. | :15:01. | :15:08. | |
Most towns experience some immigration and Preston is no | :15:09. | :15:10. | |
In recent years Lancashire has seen growing numbers | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
of people coming here from central and eastern Europe. | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
Just down the road at an aerodrome Prime Minister | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
insisted his plans to curb the benefits of EU migrants | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
would bring down the numbers in numbers that he | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
Now we've got this agreement that people | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
cannot get ?10,000, or sometimes even more, | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
the minute they arrive in the UK and work, that will have an impact. | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
So the best answer is to stay in a reformed European Union, | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
put in place those welfare restrictions which will make | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
a difference, and then do everything we can in all the other areas | :15:48. | :15:49. | |
to bring down the excessively high rate | :15:50. | :15:51. | |
Today's figures show that in the year to September 323,000 | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
more people came to live in the UK than | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
Of that total 172,000 came from the European | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
Union, 49,000 of whom came from Romania and Bulgaria. | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
A rising number since restrictions against | :16:13. | :16:14. | |
Please join me in welcoming vote Leave's | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
Ministers campaigning to leave the EU say | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
that this shows that their Government's - | :16:26. | :16:27. | |
yes, their Government's - target of getting migration below | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
100,000 can't be met when the numbers have been three | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
Having targets to say that we're driving | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
down immigration simply won't work one we have no control over | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
European Union countries to come to the United Kingdom. | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
The problem for the Government is they want to focus | :16:47. | :16:48. | |
this referendum campaign on what they see as the economic | :16:49. | :16:50. | |
They don't want to be on the defensive over | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
immigration, which their critics claim can't be controlled | :16:56. | :16:56. | |
And pictures like this won't make that task any easier. | :16:57. | :17:06. | |
Today a French court gave the go-ahead for the forced eviction | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
of up to 1000 migrants from the so-called Jungle camp | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
in Calais - news that will keep immigration in the headlines | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
Europe is indeed dealing with a migration crisis, | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
and that would be the same whether the United | :17:21. | :17:22. | |
Kingdom was in the European Union or outside of the European Union. | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
As members of the EU we are able to work with others to strengthen | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
Those who want to campaign on immigration said | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
Frankly, when I look at the Eurozone I look | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
at the migrant crisis, I look at the fact that the European Union | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
now wants to admit Bosnia and to admit Turkey within five | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
years as full members, only one thing is | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
going to happen - the numbers coming to Britain will go up. | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
And we'll find out if he's right when the next | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
figures come out in May, a month before the referendum. | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
James Landale, BBC News, Westminster. | :17:57. | :17:58. | |
Greece has recalled its ambassador to Austria - | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
the latest evidence of growing divisions among EU states over | :18:03. | :18:05. | |

are obvious, though. The fear is that the migrant system | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
is on the brink of total collapse. The owner of Alton Towers is to be | :20:32. | :20:34. | |

is outside FBI headquarters This is a battle that has pitted the | :21:13. | :21:28. | |
boss of America's most successful company against the most senior law | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
enforcement officer in the land. Apple versus the FBI. And at heart | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
is a simple what iPhone. But it has become a wider almost philosophical | :21:40. | :21:40. | |
discussion about data privacy become a wider almost philosophical | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
public safety. The San Bernardino killings | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
in California before Christmas, and the worst terror attack | :21:47. | :21:48. | |
on US soil since 9/11. in the shoot-out with police that | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
followed, a mobile phone was recovered whose | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
secrets the police are desperate to crack to determine | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
whether Tashfeen Malik But the move to do that has run | :22:01. | :22:02. | |
into fierce resistance Today giving evidence at Congress | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
the director of the FBI said this was the toughest | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
issue he'd ever faced I love encryption, I love | :22:15. | :22:16. | |
privacy, and when I hear corporations saying we are going | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
to take you to a world where no one can look at your stuff, | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
part of me thinks that's great, I don't want anybody | :22:25. | :22:26. | |
looking at my stuff. But then I step back and say, | :22:27. | :22:28. | |
law enforcement, which I'm part of, really does save people's lives | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
and we do that a whole lot through search warrants | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
of mobile devices. At the moment if a phone is locked | :22:39. | :22:40. | |
you have ten attempts to put in a password, and after that all | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
the data on the device is erased. The FBI is demanding | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
that Apple write new software to disable that | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
function so that the phone can be numerical password until one opens | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
it. said they'd gone as far as they can | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
go. Apple has cooperated | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
with the FBI fully in this case. They came to us and asked us | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
for all of the information we had on this phone, and we gave | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
everything that we had. But this case is not | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
about one phone, this case What is at stake here is - | :23:12. | :23:13. | |
can the government compel Apple to write software | :23:14. | :23:23. | |
that we believe would make hundreds of millions | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
of customers vulnerable around There may not be | :23:27. | :23:28. | |
another case like this. Apple is reported to | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
be working on a phone that is uncrackable, | :23:36. | :23:37. | |
even by its own software engineers. That may be a boon for privacy | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
campaigners, less so for those whose job it is to investigate | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
the activities of This present case, though, | :23:46. | :23:47. | |
will be decided in the courts, not by a small band of protesters | :23:48. | :23:55. | |
outside the FBI HQ. But they are not | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
an isolated minority. Polls suggest that Americans | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
are split down the middle on letting the FBI do whatever | :24:05. | :24:06. | |
it needs to and the profound belief that some things, | :24:07. | :24:18. | |
like the data on your phone, are none of the | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
government's business. Political campaigning is drawing | :24:22. | :24:22. | |
to a close in Ireland ahead of tomorrow's election - | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
a contest which could produce a hung parliament and weeks | :24:27. | :24:28. | |
of political uncertainty. Our Ireland correspondent | :24:29. | :24:30. | |
Chris Buckler is in Dublin tonight. Even opponents of the main | :24:31. | :24:42. | |
government party here are using the word recovery, the economy has | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
improved. People have not forgotten the messes that this country's | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
finances got into and they are still feeling the pain of increased taxes | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
and spending cuts and there are some candidates who see opportunity in | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
that, independents, and Sinn Fein looking to replicate their success | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
north of the border here in the South. Or of that makes this not | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
just an uncertain election but one that is unsettling for the | :25:08. | :25:08. | |
politicians. try to avoid looking | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
like used-car salesmen. But the Irish Prime Minister | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
is visiting business after business Enda Kenny's sales pitch is simple - | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
the Taoiseach says he's ensured Ireland's recovery | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
after a period of crisis, and he's even called | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
his critics whingers. Do the whingers not | :25:30. | :25:30. | |
have a point in saying that Dublin is benefiting from this | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
recovery, other places aren't? I recall, and you will recall, | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
in the days of the veneer of endless wealth in Ireland | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
the same comments were being made that the Celtic Tiger | :25:45. | :25:46. | |
never passed our way. That's why we look for | :25:47. | :25:48. | |
a second term so that we can finish the job and | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
deal with that myth. But there are people | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
still waiting to see In Ireland's own era | :25:58. | :25:59. | |
of austerity new taxes and spending cuts | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
have been introduced. Very hard. | :26:03. | :26:03. | |
Very hard. Especially when you are on social | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
welfare, know what I mean, All that's gaining | :26:08. | :26:09. | |
is them, all of them. There are people trying | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
to take advantage Independent and anti-austerity | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
candidates are attempting to woo voters from Labour, the junior | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
partner in the Coalition Government, as well as Fianna Fail, | :26:26. | :26:28. | |
the main opposition party. Its leader has been campaigning | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
hard, trying to win back voters who blame | :26:33. | :26:34. | |
them for taking a gamble Fianna Fail were in charge | :26:35. | :26:36. | |
when the Celtic Tiger collapsed. All politicians, including myself, | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
have a lot to do to overcome They are wary of politicians coming | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
forward with promises. There is another leader | :26:46. | :26:56. | |
being talked about a lot. Once seen as the political wing | :26:57. | :26:58. | |
of the IRA north of the border, Sinn Fein has tried to reinvent | :26:59. | :27:06. | |
itself into an antiestablishment The real issues are | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
whether the elites rule us, Whether it's fairness | :27:10. | :27:18. | |
or whether it is the continuation of what we've seen | :27:19. | :27:25. | |
for the last ten years. The problem for Mr Adams | :27:26. | :27:27. | |
is that the Republic's big So far they've ruled out forming | :27:28. | :27:30. | |
a coalition with Sinn Fein. The polls suggest that | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
after this vote a deal will have to be done | :27:34. | :27:36. | |
if a government is to be formed. If not, it could mean another | :27:37. | :27:39. | |
election for Ireland. Football - and all three English | :27:40. | :27:41. | |
teams progressed to the last 16 There were wins for Tottenham, | :27:42. | :27:49. | |
Liverpool, and Manchetser United, but United already 2-1 down | :27:50. | :27:55. | |
from the first leg against the Danish side Midtjylland went | :27:56. | :27:59. | |
further behind at Old Trafford - before a stirring comeback - | :28:00. | :28:03. | |
as Andy Swiss reports. So would it be the Theatre of | :28:04. | :28:06. | |
Dreams, or the stuff of nightmares? and it wasn't about | :28:07. | :28:17. | |
to get any easier. Midtjylland are European minnows | :28:18. | :28:20. | |
and yet 2-1 up after the first leg, The Old Trafford faithful | :28:21. | :28:27. | |
were unimpressed. United had to respond and they did | :28:28. | :28:30. | |
thanks to an own goal from Nikolay But Juan Mata's kick | :28:31. | :28:36. | |
was brilliantly saved. But just when United needed a hero, | :28:37. | :28:38. | |
how they found one. 18-year-old local boy | :28:39. | :28:42. | |
Marcus Rashford on his debut. He was only playing | :28:43. | :28:45. | |
because of an injury But first he levelled it | :28:46. | :28:51. | |
and with extra time beckoning Two late goals, including | :28:52. | :28:54. | |
one from Memphis Depay, United through 6-3 on aggregate | :28:55. | :29:01. | |
on a night of nerves, One of the world's most | :29:02. | :29:07. | |
famous steam locomotives - the Flying Scotsman - | :29:08. | :29:14. | |
is back on the tracks, and today it completed a journey | :29:15. | :29:17. | |
from London to York. It follows a refit which took ten | :29:18. | :29:20. | |
years and cost ?4 million. And as our transport correspondent | :29:21. | :29:24. | |
Richard Westcott reports, the Flying Scotsman can | :29:25. | :29:26. | |
still draw the crowds. It's not a locomotive, | :29:27. | :29:33. | |
it's a celebrity, Flying Scotsman, back centrestage on its old stomping | :29:34. | :29:39. | |
ground eating up the miles. For the crew it's a tough, | :29:40. | :29:42. | |
filthy, rewarding job. This very cramped passage is just | :29:43. | :29:48. | |
one of the things that makes It meant that drivers could change | :29:49. | :29:51. | |
over whilst the train was still moving, and that made this | :29:52. | :30:05. | |
the first service that went This engine was taken out of service | :30:06. | :30:18. | |
in the 60s and shipped off to the United States and shipped off to | :30:19. | :30:22. | |
Australia, it's caused heartbreak, heartache and heart attacks and | :30:23. | :30:26. | |
bankruptcies. It's been in the workshop for years. Many believed it | :30:27. | :30:29. | |
would never again run on these tracks. | :30:30. | :30:37. | |
Flying Scotsman has always made headlines. | :30:38. | :30:40. | |
It was the first train officially clocked at 100 mph. | :30:41. | :30:42. | |
Today the only delays were down to train spotters | :30:43. | :30:48. | |
At its birthplace in Doncaster it can still pull the crowds. | :30:49. | :30:52. | |
The enthusiasm and people coming to are stars for the day. | :30:53. | :31:07. | |
the track-side to see the trains go by. | :31:08. | :31:11. | |
it's great to see that everybody is supporting the engine. | :31:12. | :31:13. | |
After a decade out of the limelight, Flying Scotsman is going | :31:14. | :31:16. | |
to be touring again so thousands more can revel in this sight. | :31:17. | :31:19. | |
