Tonight at Ten - David Cameron admits he DID benefit | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
from an offshore trust set up by his late father. | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
The admission follows days of questions, prompted | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
by leaked documents from a Panamanian law firm. | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
Mr Cameron denies his father set up the fund to avoid tax, | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
but reveals that he and his wife did hold shares and paid | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
Samantha and I had a joint account and we owned 5,000 units | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
in Blairmore Investment Trust, which we sold in January 2010. | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
That was worth something like ?30,000. | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
We'll be looking at the Prime Minister's latest attempt | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
to draw a line under the tax haven controversy. | :00:42. | :00:44. | |

opening round 6-under par 66 at the Masters. | :01:36. | :02:00. | |
The Prime Minister has tried once again to draw a line under the tax | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
haven controversy and the persistent questions about his | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
Mr Cameron revealed today that he and his wife had sold | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
shares six years ago, which were held in an offshore fund, | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
The shares were worth around ?30,000. | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
And he insisted that profits from the scheme were subject | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
Mr Cameron also defended his late father and said it was wrong | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
to suggest that Blairmore Holdings had been set up to avoid tax. | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
Our deputy political editor, James Landale, has more details. | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
When a politician is under pressure, when they are facing tough questions | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
about their family and finances, their natural instinct is to say as | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
little as possible and protect their privacy. But then when that pressure | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
gets too great, there always comes a moment when they have to go public. | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
For David Cameron, that moment came this evening. | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
How are you? Good to see you. For days, David Cameron has been dogged | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
by allegations about his late father, about whether Ian Cameron's | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
offshore business avoided paying tax and whether the Prime Minister | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
himself benefitted from the profits. The allegations emerged on Monday | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
after millions of documents from a law firm in Panama were leaked | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
revealing that in the 1980s, Mr Cameron's father set up Blairmore | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
based in the Bahamas that never paid any UK tax. All week, David Cameron | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
has faced tough questions and worse headlines about whether he gained | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
from any offshore investments, all the while campaigning for greater | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
tax transparency at international summits. Tonight, finally, he gave | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
his answer. In 1997 he had bought a holding in his father's company | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
worth ?12,000. Samantha and I had a joint account and we owned 5,000 | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
units in Blairmore Investment Trust which we sold in January 2010. That | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
was worth something like ?30,000. I had paid income tax on the | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
dividends, but there was a profit on it but it was less than the Capital | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
Gains Tax allowance so I didn't pay Capital Gains Tax, but it was | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
subject to all the UK taxes. Mr Cameron insisted his father's | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
company had been created to take advantage of new regulations that | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
allowed stockbrokers for the first time to deal in shares that were | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
valued in dollars. A lot of the criticisms are based on a | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
fundamental misconception which is that Blairmore Investment, a unit | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
trust, was set up with the idea of avoiding tax. It wasn't. It was set | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
up after exchange controls went so people who wanted to invested in | :04:51. | :05:00. | |
dollar companies could do so. So this was an interview that David | :05:01. | :05:19. | |
Cameron didn't want to give, but the partial statements from his office | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
weren't enough. He felt he had to say more to try to draw a line under | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
a story that he felt was misleading and unfair about his father. That at | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
least was his hope. But it was a hope in vain, for Labour MPs tonight | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
said the revelations prompted further questions, questions that | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
said the revelations prompted they intend to push when Parliament | :05:39. | :05:39. | |
returns next week. What other shareholdings did David Cameron hold | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
whilst he was an MP and Leader of the Opposition? Was he invested in | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
any other trusts that were established in this kind of way? The | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
British people would expect him to be fully transparent about what his | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
shareholdings were. be fully transparent about what his | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
Cameron said he had nothing to hide. But admitted it | :06:00. | :05:59. | |
Cameron said he had nothing to hide. few days. He couldn't bear to say | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
his dad's name dragged through the mud. It is his name that is in the | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
frame now. James, as you were saying, there | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
have been several attempts by Number Ten to draw a line under this. Has | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
he done enough today, do you think? He certainly hopes so. | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
he done enough today, do you think? been completely transparent, he's | :06:22. | :06:21. | |
promising been completely transparent, he's | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
he has admitted that he inherited ?300,000 from his father and can't | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
be completely clear ?300,000 from his father and can't | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
money came from. So, I think it is going to be hard now for there to be | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
further revelations of greater significance. We know David Cameron | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
did actually benefit from an offshore trust, it was legal, but | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
people have differing views about that. Of course, the questions will | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
keep coming, from reporters, from opposition MPs, but he feels he will | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
do enough. The opposition MPs, but he feels he will | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
doesn't look great in terms of political imagery. David Cameron is | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
locked into political imagery. David Cameron is | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
his life, he is trying to convince the British people to vote to stay | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
in the European Union. A huge amount is riding on his shoulders | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
in the European Union. A huge amount persuasive capabilities. Anything | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
like this that distances himself from the electorate, that reminds | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
people of from the electorate, that reminds | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
let's say the timing from the electorate, that reminds | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
James, thank you very The Financial Conduct Authority has | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
intervened to examine the role of British-based banks | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
in the Panama Papers scandal. the Panamanian law firm at the heart | :07:27. | :07:37. | |
of a secretive offshore network. Our business editor, Simon Jack, | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
is in the City of London. Simon, how | :07:43. | :07:54. | |
the City? Well, in the fight against financial crime, that could be tax | :07:55. | :08:03. | |
evasion, money-laundering, banks are required to ask some searching | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
questions, who is the ultimate client? What the Panama Papers | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
reveal is that some law firms, like Mossack Fonseca, go to extraordinary | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
lengths to obscure those very facts. If it is found that the banks that | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
have been sent this letter have not asked tough enough questions, then | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
the consequences can be very serious indeed. Fines from the UK watchdog | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
have run into the tens of millions in situations like this. Fines from | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
the US authorities have run into the many billions. So this letter will | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
focus minds and there will be some anxious days and long nights in the | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
offices behind me in the days ahead. Simon, thank you very much. Simon | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
Jack, our business editor. If you want to find out more | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
about the Panama Papers - and the reaction - | :08:47. | :08:47. | |

for the very latest Two teenage girls, who murdered | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
a vulnerable woman in Hartlepool, have been given life sentences | :08:53. | :09:01. | |
and told they'll serve The girls were 13 and 14 | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
when they attacked Angela Wrightson The first attempt to try the two | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
was abandoned in July last year because of a stream of prejudicial | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
comments made on social media, which resulted in strict reporting | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
restrictions on the retrial. Our corresponent, Danny Savage, | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
has been following the case. There are some ditressing | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
details in his report. Two children in a street | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
in Hartlepool on the night they slowly murdered | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
a vulnerable alcoholic. Today in court, the 15-year-old | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
girls wiped away the odd tear as they were sentenced for as long | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
as they'd been alive. Giving the teenagers | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
a minimum of 15 years each, the judge told them they carried out | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
a cowardly attack sustained over a long period of time, | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
carried out with weapons This is the pair on CCTV just | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
after they'd killed, laughing and sniggering | :09:56. | :10:03. | |
as they called police The girls' voices have been | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
disguised. Where me and my friend are at, | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
can you tell us how long you are going to be, | :10:13. | :10:13. | |
we are freezing. No use ringing up swearing | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
like that... Listed as vulnerable, | :10:17. | :10:18. | |
they were used to officers We'll get somebody along | :10:19. | :10:26. | |
there as soon as we can, all right. Their victim, Angela Wrightson, | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
was a 39-year-old alcoholic. It was a tortuous attack | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
on a helpless woman, using anything in her house | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
they could lay their hands on. This man's daughters used | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
to occasionally hang This sort of makes me wonder | :10:44. | :10:44. | |
what could have happened God forbid if she'd have been | :10:45. | :10:52. | |
with them that night. I would like to think she would have | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
run a mile and made a phone call. When your own kids are near it, | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
you start to worry about it. Another neighbour knew | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
one of the killers. The girls were two of many | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
free-loading drinking youngsters who he and his dog would clear out | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
of Miss Wrightson's home He said today's sentences | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
are not long enough. I've been in jail | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
myself, it's too easy. Our jail sentences | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
should be like America. If you commit murder, | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
minimum 50 years before In court, the older girl says | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
she didn't believe such She thought people could only die of | :11:33. | :11:40. | |
cancer or if they were shot. Their life stories | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
though are complicated. They were both in care, and came | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
from troubled neglected backgrounds. When the older girl was asked | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
in court what her date of birth was, That same girl did this | :11:54. | :11:55. | |
drawing before the attack. What does this say about her mind | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
set? I would suspect they probably didn't | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
know what the outcome My feeling about their behaviour | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
is that they've never been given any boundaries by what good behaviour | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
is and what bad behaviour is. Last summer, the original trial | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
about the murder in this street was abandoned after hundreds | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
of abusive comments online. It was described as a virtual | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
lynching mob. The case was then moved | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
from Teesside to Leeds with a ban on mentioning proceedings | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
on social media. The scars of what happened | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
to Angela Wrightson are still The two girls responsible | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
for her death now join the list of some of the youngest | :12:44. | :12:50. | |
killers in Britain. Our home editor, | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
Mark Easton, is with me. This distressing case has raised | :12:58. | :13:05. | |
other questions about the way young criminals are dealt with in the UK? | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
This was utterly sickening. I think that the sentence probably does | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
reflect the court's and wider society's disgust at the crime. Life | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
for both these girls, they will remain in jail for at least 15 | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
years, and even after that, they won't be released unless the Home | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
Secretary agrees. The UK is very different from the rest of Europe in | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
how it treats children involved even in the most grave crimes, British | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
judges can and do impose life sentences on children, in fact when | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
it comes to murder, they are obliged to do so. Only two other countries | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
in the EU give children life sentences, Cyprus and France, and | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
they do it very, very rarely. Since 2004, the courts in England and | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
Wales have sentenced more than 200 children to life imprisonment. In | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
the whole of the rest of the European Union, the courts have | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
handed out in the last 25 years just two such sentences. It is a | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
strikingly different approach? I think it is. Many countries do have | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
a upper limit on child sentences, three years, ten years. But many | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
states have a different view. They see juvenile offending as a welfare | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
issue rather than a criminal issue. Indeed, in this case, two children | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
who murdered Angela Wrightson, there will be questions for Hartlepool's | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
Children's Services, the youngsters had an appalling childhood, they | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
were both well-known to social services, they had been in council | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
care for two years. Just a little xm pl, on the day of the murder, one of | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
the two children went to see her mother, she wanted to spend some | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
more time with her mum. The mother gave the child cider and strong | :14:45. | :14:52. | |
painkillers, told her to go away and said, "Why don't you go and kill | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
yourself?" None of this excuses the girls' actions. It does pose | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
difficult questions about the responsibility of parents, | :15:02. | :15:03. | |
certainly, but also the state. Thank you. | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
Prosecutors in Belgium have released new images of the unidentified | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
terror suspect seen in Brussels airport moments before the bomb | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
The CCTV pictures show the suspect at various points | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
Officials are hoping someone may recognise him. | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
Our correspondent, James Reynolds, reports from Brussels on the latest | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
Three men entered Brussels airport with explosives. | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
The two on the left detonated theirs. | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
The one on the right, who Belgium calls "the man with the hat", | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
He managed to get away amid this, the aftermath of the explosions. | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
Belgian officers have tried to retrace his steps that morning. | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
The police have now put together this video of his escape. | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
A security camera picks him up on the outskirts | :15:56. | :15:57. | |
He's wearing a distinctive hat and pale jacket. | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
At this point, no-one has any reason to notice him. | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
The authorities are desperate to find more footage | :16:07. | :16:14. | |
We especially appeal to people who might have filmed or taken | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
a photograph of the suspect or think they can provide | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
An hour after the explosions, a security camera films the suspect | :16:25. | :16:31. | |
Later, in town, he crosses a busy road. | :16:32. | :16:40. | |
At 9.49am, almost two hours after the bombs went off, | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
he is seen again, possibly talking on the phone. | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
The cameras lost the third man at about this point, | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
This is a quiet neighbourhood, near the centre of town. | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
He could have gone anywhere from here. | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
This is the best shot the police have of their suspect's face. | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
But they still don't know his name, nor where he may be hiding. | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
20 years after the war in Bosnia, the country is still struggling | :17:10. | :17:18. | |
to deal with the legacy of that conflict, which includes many | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
thousands of sexual crimes committed against women. | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
The EU's ambassador to Bosnia-Herzegovina has insisted | :17:25. | :17:26. | |
that there can be no impunity for the perpetrators. | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
Human rights groups say that as many as 20,000 women were raped, | :17:32. | :17:33. | |
often in camps set up for that purpose. | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
Our special correspondent, Fergal Keane, reports | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
from the town of Visegrad - and there are some distressing | :17:41. | :17:42. | |
The Muslims of Visegrad were trapped. | :17:43. | :17:52. | |
Hundreds were murdered, herded to the banks of the River Drina. | :17:53. | :18:15. | |
On its famous bridge, the Serbs executed men, | :18:16. | :18:17. | |
But, 24 years on, the memory of horror is being deliberately | :18:18. | :18:30. | |
erased - and nowhere is it more obvious than here. | :18:31. | :18:53. | |
Ramza Mohic was raped here at the Vilina Vlas hotel. | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
Other survivors say it was used as a rape camp. | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
One alleged as many as 200 women suffered, though exact | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
Ramza says she was attacked by Milan Lukic, a commander | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
in the White Eagles militia, later jailed for mass murder. | :19:09. | :19:46. | |
The rape camp is now reopened as a spa hotel. | :19:47. | :19:57. | |
Tourists from across the region enjoy themselves here. | :19:58. | :20:05. | |
If you arrived here as a guest, you'd never know these rooms had | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
Young girls and women were raped here, murdered. | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
Some were so desperate to escape their tormentors | :20:15. | :20:16. | |
that they ran, they jumped over the balcony to commit suicide. | :20:17. | :20:25. | |
The White Eagles even allowed a photographer | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
Essad Jihic was 21 years old when he was taken to Vilina Vlas. | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
He is the figure in black jacket and white jeans. | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
After this beating, he and the other men were taken away and shot. | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
Did you recognise your brother in the photograph? | :20:43. | :21:08. | |
The Serbs remember their dead here, above Visegrad. | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
The town is controlled by the hardline nationalist party | :21:13. | :21:14. | |
of Radovan Karadzic, which fuelled the descent into genocide. | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
But, in Visegrad today, you dare not use that word. | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
The council removed the word from the memorial to the victims | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
And the Vilina Vlas hotel, where women were raped, | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
men tortured by Serb extremists, that too is now run by the party | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
of Karadzic, which denies it was a place of mass atrocity. | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
Miroslav Kojic is a senior party figure. | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
Do you believe it is morally appropriate for your party, | :21:48. | :21:49. | |
which governs in that area, to run a hotel where such horrific | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
Most of the killers and rapists of Visegrad have so | :21:54. | :22:24. | |
Only one paramilitary has been convicted of rape at Vilina Vlas. | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
Across Bosnia, there are many thousands of rapes that have gone | :22:31. | :22:32. | |
unprosecuted and, as Bosnia still struggles to rebuild after a war, | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
the chances of justice for rape victims are fading. | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
In most wars, sexual crimes have gone unpunished. | :22:44. | :22:45. | |
Now there is an international campaign to change this. | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
In every country, it's very difficult to come to terms | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
with all of the crimes that were committed but, | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
at some stage, punity has to be dealt in a fair and balanced way. | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
There can be no different standards of justice. | :23:01. | :23:11. | |
At Vilina Vlas, the memory of atrocity is being erased. | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
It stands as a symbol of humanity betrayed. | :23:15. | :23:39. | |

A brief look at some of the day's other news stories: | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
A 49-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder | :23:57. | :23:58. | |
following the disappearance of a serving police officer. | :23:59. | :24:00. | |
PC Gordon Semple was last seen on Friday after visiting | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
Scotland Yard said human remains have been discovered | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
The number of recorded deaths in England and Wales reached | :24:08. | :24:15. | |
Many of the additional deaths have been attributed to flu - | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
and the fact that flu vaccines were less effective. | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
The chief executive of the Co-operative Group is to take | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
Richard Pennycook is said to have asked for the reduction - | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
from ?1.25 million to ?750,000 - because his job has become easier | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
since the Co-op overcame a financial crisis two years ago. | :24:38. | :24:48. | |
A year-and-a-half after most British troops left Afghanistan, | :24:49. | :24:50. | |
Taliban fighters have been steadily regaining control | :24:51. | :24:52. | |
British troops spent 13 years in a military campaign | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
More than 450 British service personnel lost their lives - | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
Now the Afghan army has begun a new offensive, to drive back | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
Our correspondent, Justin Rowlatt, has been to the former | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
British base Camp Bastion - now called Camp Shorabak - | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
I'm flying to what is left of Camp Bastion. | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
Bastion was the main British base in Afghanistan. | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
Very few journalists have been here since the British withdrew. | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
So this is what remains of that vast complex. | :25:30. | :25:31. | |
It's now called Camp Shorabak and is the headquarters of Afghan | :25:32. | :25:33. | |
national forces, but one thing hasn't changed. | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
Helmand is still without question the key front line in the battle | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
But the record of Afghan forces has not been good. | :25:43. | :25:52. | |
They have made what they call strategic withdrawals from a series | :25:53. | :25:54. | |
of key towns in Helmand in recent months. | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
It is a roll call of places British troops gave their lives to defend. | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
So is strategic withdrawal just another way of saying surrender? | :26:06. | :26:14. | |
All around us is what was formerly known as Bastion... | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
Brigadier General Rowling is with Resolute Support, | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
the current Nato mission in Afghanistan. | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
I would say I have only withdrawn from the areas | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
We are trying to say, after this year, let's look | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
at the capabilities of the Afghan army and let's help them help | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
themselves get to a place where they can fight | :26:39. | :26:40. | |
This is the training part of Resolute Support's mission. | :26:41. | :26:48. | |
It also offers advice and assistance, but is it working? | :26:49. | :26:55. | |
A big test of that has just begun - a major offensive to retake Sangin. | :26:56. | :27:02. | |
The Afghans can expect a tough battle. | :27:03. | :27:05. | |
Over 100 British soldiers died defending Sangin in some | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
of the fiercest fighting British forces had experienced for decades. | :27:09. | :27:18. | |
This year's harvest is already under way, and it's expected to be | :27:19. | :27:25. | |
Helmand now produces enough heroin to supply | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
The vast profit opium generates is a key reason why, | :27:31. | :27:39. | |
a decade after British forces first came to Helmand, the same familiar | :27:40. | :27:42. | |
territory is being contested in this deadly war. | :27:43. | :27:52. | |
And, all the while, local people suffer terrible injuries | :27:53. | :27:54. | |
As I leave Helmand, it isn't hard to understand why so many Afghans | :27:55. | :28:02. | |
want to leave the country and make a new life in Europe. | :28:03. | :28:09. | |
The first golf major of the year - the Masters - | :28:10. | :28:18. | |
is underway in Augusta, with Rory McIroy aiming | :28:19. | :28:20. | |
to capture the only big prize that's alluded him. | :28:21. | :28:23. | |
But so far it's been defending champion Jordan Spieth | :28:24. | :28:25. | |
who has set the early pace, as our sports correspondent | :28:26. | :28:27. | |
Under sunny skies, a warm welcome for Rory McIlroy, | :28:28. | :28:33. | |
as he began his latest shot at golfing history. | :28:34. | :28:36. | |
The Masters is the only major title missing from his CV and, | :28:37. | :28:40. | |
among the late starters, he was soon finding his range, | :28:41. | :28:43. | |
Ahead of him, the sport's new bright young thing had set the pace. | :28:44. | :28:51. | |
Defending champion, Jordan Spieth, with a superb 6-under, | :28:52. | :28:55. | |
Australia's Jason Day may not be quite a household name, | :28:56. | :29:01. | |
but he is the new world number one and was soon showing why. | :29:02. | :29:05. | |
England's Paul Casey was also in the hunt, three off | :29:06. | :29:11. | |
the lead, thanks to some peerless pinpoint accuracy. | :29:12. | :29:13. | |
But the day's unwanted headlines belonged to Ernie Els. | :29:14. | :29:16. | |
Just count these putts as he recorded the worst opening | :29:17. | :29:20. | |
hole in Masters history, an almost excruciating ten shots. | :29:21. | :29:26. | |
Rarely has one man's chances been over quite | :29:27. | :29:29. | |
A rare copy of Shakespeare's First Folio - dating from 1623 - | :29:30. | :29:38. | |
has been discovered in a stately home on a Scottish island. | :29:39. | :29:42. | |
The copy of the first collected edition of Shakespeare's plays | :29:43. | :29:44. | |
was found at Mount Stuart House on the Isle of Bute. | :29:45. | :29:47. | |
Experts who authenticated the book said the discovery | :29:48. | :29:49. | |
It will now go on public display, as our Scotland correspondent, | :29:50. | :29:54. | |
It is one of the world's most sought-after books | :29:55. | :30:00. | |
This is why the folio is so magical, because The Tempest is one | :30:01. | :30:10. | |
of about 19 plays that actually would have been lost... | :30:11. | :30:14. | |
In terms of literary discoveries, it doesn't get much bigger than this. | :30:15. | :30:19. | |
I kept walking past these boxes that said "Shakespeare" | :30:20. | :30:21. | |
I started looking at it and I just couldn't believe what they were. | :30:22. | :30:27. | |
I got terribly overexcited, and then I almost had | :30:28. | :30:30. | |
to sort of pull myself back and stop my hands shaking and try | :30:31. | :30:34. | |
and get someone to tell me this was the real deal. | :30:35. | :30:39. | |
This three-volume first folio is both exquisitely beautiful | :30:40. | :30:43. | |
and fascinating and, without the First Folio, | :30:44. | :30:47. | |
William Shakespeare's legacy would be very different indeed. | :30:48. | :30:54. | |
Now is the winter of our discontent... | :30:55. | :30:57. | |
Richard III, Macbeth, The Tempest, As You Like It - | :30:58. | :31:00. | |
36 of the Bard's plays were preserved in the publication. | :31:01. | :31:03. | |
Without it, some of them would have been lost for ever. | :31:04. | :31:08. | |
This newest discovery was found here, a Gothic revival stately home | :31:09. | :31:12. | |
The publication had been languishing unrecognised in a vault | :31:13. | :31:16. | |
It is often errors that are really important marks... | :31:17. | :31:24. | |
The detective work to prove its authenticity fell to an academic | :31:25. | :31:26. | |
from Oxford, searching for watermarks, imperfections - | :31:27. | :31:30. | |
even the inky thumbprints of Jacobean printers can be used | :31:31. | :31:34. | |
It really is a first folio, and that was the most exciting | :31:35. | :31:40. | |
It's a great thrill to find one in Scotland. | :31:41. | :31:45. | |
This First Folio discovery comes ahead of the 400th anniversary | :31:46. | :31:47. | |
In a year celebrating one of our greatest writers, | :31:48. | :31:53. | |
this rarest of publications, rescued from obscurity, | :31:54. | :31:56. | |
is now on display in its island home. | :31:57. | :32:00. | |
