The tributes being paid to one of Britain's most | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
popular entertainers, Victoria Wood, who's died | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
The comedian, singer and writer who inspired a new generation | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
of female comics entertained millions with her original | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
blend of gentle humour and social observation. | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
If Marjorie were to let her concentration lapse | :00:23. | :00:37. | |
for just one second, I could literally... | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
There was no social barrier, no class barrier, no sex barrier. | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
She was just one of us, she made us look at ourselves | :00:47. | :00:49. | |

this evening to one of Britain's most original and popular | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
entertainers, Victoria Wood, who's The comedian, singer and writer | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
made a name for herself on the male-dominated comedy | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
circuit, and she inspired a new generation of female comics | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
in a hugely-successful career Victoria Wood's close friend | :02:33. | :02:36. | |

really make the rafters rock... Victoria Wood doing what she did | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
best. Let's do it, let's do it tonight! Turning the dull realities | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
of everyday life into comedy gold. She had an ear for the ordinary, and | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
I for the ridiculous and I love of language that shone through in all | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
of her work. Let's direct, let's do it tonight! The self-styled shy | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
Cheryl from Bury got her big break on a TV talent show in 1990's 1974. | :03:32. | :03:40. | |
I wonder what they'll give me, money would be ideal. Probably be | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
something practical... I did not know whether I could make a career | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
out of it. At university, I was a big flop, and I have this feeling | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
there was something I could do, but I could not nailed down what it was, | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
because there was no role models for me. There was nobody else doing | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
that. I was blundering about in the dark. The producers did not think | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
so, they booked her a lot on That's Life. And in the 1980s, she turned | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
to stand up. Hello. I am looking for my friend. | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
Kimberley. She offered an alternative to alternative comedy, | :04:27. | :04:36. | |
delivering her jokes with a smile and a not a smear. Another swapping | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
party, I ended up with a man who owned a DIY shop, he said, what | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
would you like me to do? I said, insulate the loft and like the hot | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
water tank. She gave inspiration to other women, she was not having to | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
be sexy and rude, although she was all of those things. She was just | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
William, and she made it seem to other women that they could do this. | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
I am Victoria Wood. She found her comedy soul mate in Julie Walters as | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
her sketch show partner and an actress who could deliver her | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
scripts with precision timing. It has been a terrible week. I thought | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
I was having an early menopause. The dog had been messing about with the | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
thermostat. Her acute observational skills were developed in childhood, | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
during which she led an isolated life. Because she had not found a | :05:34. | :05:42. | |
role, she often found herself... I will not so neglected, because our | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
parents did not neglect is, but they let us do our own thing, and | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
Victoria did not know what she was going to do. She felt she would like | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
to do something, but she could not find a niche until at 13 she went to | :05:56. | :06:03. | |
the Rochdale youth Theatre, and then she found that she could write | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
something and see it performed. Which is exactly what you did with | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
her fabulous spoof soap opera Acorn Antiques. She could do serious as | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
well, both as a writer and actress. I don't have a sympathetic, loving, | :06:22. | :06:29. | |
interesting friend. The BAFTA goes to Victoria Wood. | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
I did not bring any jokes. I was not expecting to get either of them. She | :06:35. | :06:43. | |
was a multi-award-winning performer, writer, dramatist and musician who | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
brought joy to millions, inspired generations and created some of the | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
best television made. She was a gifted artist who left her fans | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
wanting more. The comedian, singer | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
and writer Victoria Wood, Her Majesty the Queen | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
will mark her 90th birthday tomorrow, and her grandson, | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
the Duke of Cambridge, has told the BBC that it is her style | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
and approach to the role of a constitutional monarch | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
that he will try to follow So, on the eve of the birthday | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
celebrations, let's join This is where the Queen will spend | :07:14. | :07:31. | |
her birthday tomorrow, a day of public and private celebrations, | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
which end with a dinner hosted by Prince Charles. Prince William will | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
be there, he has been paying tribute to his grandmother. He has addressed | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
criticism levelled at him that he is work-shy. He said that when the | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
Queen was ready to hand down more responsible it is, he would be the | :07:51. | :07:51. | |
first to accept them. You've had a chance over | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
more than 30 years now to observe our current | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
monarch, the Queen. From the particular perspective that | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
you have as a future King, what has I think the Queen's duty | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
and her service, her tolerance, her commitment to others, | :08:03. | :08:13. | |
I think that's all been It's been a real sort of guiding | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
example of just what a good monarch can be, and it's been incredibly | :08:17. | :08:24. | |
insightful for me growing up, watching her leadership | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
in that role. You've referred already to her sense | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
of duty, to the conspicuous devotion to duty that she's | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
displayed over the decades. To what extent would you say that | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
you share that degree I think Royal duty is | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
extremely important. It's part of the fabric | :08:45. | :08:52. | |
of what the Royal Family and any future monarch has, | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
and it's something I take duty very seriously | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
and I take my responsibilities It's about finding your own | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
way at the right time. If you're not careful, | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
duty can sort of weigh you down I think you've got to develop | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
into the duty role. It's because there is an impression | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
in some quarters that you are in some way | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
a slightly reluctant Royal. You will have seen, or I'm sure | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
people will have told you about some of the stories, | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
some of the headlines Work-shy William, I think some | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
of them said. There has also been criticism | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
of the Duchess of a similar vein. Do you regard that criticism, | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
that impression as being a fair one? To be honest, I'm going to get | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
plenty of criticism over my lifetime and it's something that I don't | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
completely ignore, but it's not something I take | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
completely to heart. I'm concentrating very much | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
on my role as a father. I'm a new father and I take my | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
duties and responsibilities to my family very seriously | :10:08. | :10:09. | |
and I want to bring my children up as good people, with the idea | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
of service and duty But if I can't give my time | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
to my children as well, Plus, serving the community | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
with the air ambulance... I find the ambulance role very | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
important to me. I'd like to explore a little, | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
what kind of King will William V be? We've become used to the present | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
Queen being scrupulously, pretty scrupulously detached | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
from all issues. Your father, on the other hand, | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
as Prince of Wales, of course, is very much involved in all sorts | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
of issues and has indicated that he would wish to convene | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
when he becomes King - make heartfelt interventions, | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
I think, is the phrase in use. What is your sense of what is | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
acceptable for a constitutional How involved can a constitutional | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
monarch be in current issues? It's a very good question | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
and something that occupies a lot of my thinking space, | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
how on earth you would develop into something modern | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
in today's world. I am in a unique position, | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
a very privileged position, to be able to see some of this now, | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
which is that I've got my If you like, more of a passive role | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
in how she believes I've got my father who minds | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
an awful lot about many of the causes he's involved | :11:40. | :11:49. | |
in and really digs down into his charitable areas as much | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
as he can. But I think, in the Queen, | :11:52. | :11:53. | |
I have an extraordinary example of someone who's done an enormous | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
amount of good. She's probably the best | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
role model I could have. I sense that you are saying, | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
when the time comes, you will hope to be a rather more | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
modern monarch and bring something I think the Royal Family has | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
to modernise and develop as it goes along and it has to stay relevant, | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
and that's the challenge for me. How do I make the Royal Family | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
relevant in the next 20 years' time? It could be 40 years' time, | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
60 years' time, I don't know I certainly don't lie awake at night | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
waiting or hoping for it, because it sadly means | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
that my family have moved on, But you must be confident | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
that you can do that, that you can make and keep | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
the monarchy relevant It's something that I think is very | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
important and the Queen is a fantastic role model to lead | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
that, as she has done A red interview with Prince William, | :12:46. | :13:03. | |
how much of an inside does it give us into his thinking? His focus is | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
on the monarchy in 20 years' time, his challenge, as he said, is to | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
ensure it is relevant. His determination, stubborn | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
determination, is to ensure he has as much control over his life at the | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
moment, and make sure it is as normal as he can make it. He feels | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
that having a job, being a hands-on parent, it keeps him in touch with | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
the wider world. He does not want to be on a pedestal. He also said that | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
both his grandmother and his father support his work/ life balance. He | :13:43. | :13:50. | |
is a traditionalist in his style of monarchy, the non-interventionist | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
style, as practised by his godmother. | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
The Queen will go on a walkabout in Windsor tomorrow, there are already | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
people camped out. Some caught a glimpse of our oldest and longest | :14:04. | :14:04. | |

the right to a long reign. Such republican views weren't | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
obviously in evidence She has served our nation with such | :16:14. | :16:14. | |
dignity, with such ability, for so many years, 64 years | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
on the throne. It's right we will have | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
the opportunity in the House tomorrow to pay tribute | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
to what she has done, and I know the whole | :16:27. | :16:28. | |
country and the whole House will want to join me in saying, | :16:29. | :16:31. | |

for business to have stable trading conditions was for the UK | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
to remain a member. His wasn't the only | :17:45. | :17:46. | |
American voice heard today. No fewer than eight former US | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
treasury secretaries have signed a letter to the Times newspaper | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
warning that leaving the EU would be The letter was published on the eve | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
of President Obama's Sealed over a burger, | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
the special relationship - America and Britain, | :17:59. | :18:08. | |
might there be a new risk to that relationship if Britain | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
were to leave the EU? After tension over Libya, | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
now eight former US Treasury secretaries have warned that a vote | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
to leave on June the 23rd represents a risky bet | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
on the UK's economic future. If Britain leaves the EU, | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
Britain will be poorer, Europe will be poorer, | :18:26. | :18:27. | |
America will be poorer. There will be less confidence, | :18:28. | :18:29. | |
more uncertainty. Writing in the Times, | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
the Treasury secretaries say that Brexit threatens trade with Europe's | :18:33. | :18:39. | |
large common market, although they do admit that over | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
time Britain would no doubt be able to re-establish ties, | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
it would be a difficult environment to negotiate and the risk | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
of accidents is real. They are concerns shared | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
by some American businesses one of which is Ford, | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
which employs 14,000 I met the company's Chief Executive | :19:02. | :19:03. | |
in Detroit to ask him We are concerned about | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
the uncertainty and instability that leaving the EU may have, | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
of which the consequences What we do know is so far | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
we have seen a negative effect on the Sterling, | :19:13. | :19:21. | |
which is impacting us. Our view as a business is to have | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
stability around the trading conditions which we think the best | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
way to do that is for the UK to stay part of a reformed EU, | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
but that will be up to the residents A lot of this is about trade, | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
those who support leaving the EU say new free-trade deals would be easier | :19:37. | :19:44. | |
without the need to gain agreement from 27 other | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
European countries. Obviously I respect their | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
backgrounds but they are making a number of mistakes | :19:51. | :19:52. | |
in their analysis. The first is to say that Britain | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
leaving the European Union would result in isolation | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
but in fact it's the opposite, In Saudi Arabia today, | :20:00. | :20:03. | |

he is a trump card. For the Leave campaign the freedom | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
of being out of the EU will make relations | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
with the US even more special. Our North America Editor Jon Sopel | :20:26. | :20:27. | |

and Saudi Arabia, have the tensions been evident there? Yes, very much. | :20:44. | :20:51. | |
It's interesting that Saudi Arabia and the US share common objectives | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
but little common ground on how to get there, take Syria and the fight | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
against so-called Islamic State. The Saudis think that America has been | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
weak and inconsistent and the Americans think the Saudis haven't | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
done enough. On the Iranian nuclear deal America believes that Saudi | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
should share the neighbourhood and that infuriated the Saudis. Barack | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
Obama raised the issue of human rights in the wave of executions | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
there have been in Saudi Arabia. I was told there was a full and frank | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
discussion about that. Tomorrow as we mentioned President Obama comes | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
to Britain, is he coming with a prepared specific message for people | :21:35. | :21:42. | |
here? Well, just like the talks with the Saudis, this president in the | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
final months of his presidency prefers candour to caution. He will | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
follow in the footsteps of the eighth Treasury secretaries, a White | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
House briefing that took place before this visit about the need to | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
his beak out about Britain's role in Europe. It will attract charges of | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
rank hypocrisy from the vote to leave campaigners who will say | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
America would never have pulled the sovereignty would -- pooled | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
sovereignty with Canada and Mexico as it is asking Britain to do in | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
Europe but I spoke to someone close to the president and he said the | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
British people will be left in no uncertain terms about the views of | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
the President, there will be no ambiguity. We will talk to you again | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
tomorrow. John Sobol is travelling with President Obama in Riyadh. | :22:30. | :22:37. | |
The Government has been heavily criticised by | :22:38. | :22:38. | |
the National Audit Office for failing to provide | :22:39. | :22:40. | |
a full account of spending by academy schools in England. | :22:41. | :22:42. | |
The watchdog said there wasn't enough accurate information | :22:43. | :22:44. | |
for Parliament to verify how the public money had been used. | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
The Prime Minister has been defending his plans to force every | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
state school in England to become an academy, | :22:51. | :22:52. | |
saying it was time to "finish the job". | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
Let's talk to Branwen Jeffreys. The criticism I have just mentioned from | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
the National Audit Office, exceptionally strong? You couldn't | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
get a more severe telling off. The accounts today were published for | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
education spending in England, nine months after every single other | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
government department will stop even with the extra time the National | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
Audit Office said it could not be sure that they were true and fair | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
account of how billions of pounds of tax money had been spent. Why? | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
Because of the difficulty in keeping track of how the land and money held | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
by 5000 academy schools is managed in England, and just hours after | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
David Cameron was defending plans to make 15,000 more schools become | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
academies. The government says it's got robust measures in place that | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
are fit for purpose to keep a check on academies, it is looking at | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
accounting as well. There is deep unease among Conservative | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
backbenchers this evening, once said that this report raises questions | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
about whether officials could oversee further educational reforms | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
and Labour has said it has highlighted how opaque the finances | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
of some academy trusts can be. Thanks very much. | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
New figures show that unemployment increased | :24:11. | :24:12. | |
by 21,000 - to 1.7 million - between December and February. | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
It's the first time the total has gone up in almost a year. | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
Ministers who favour Britain staying in the EU - | :24:22. | :24:23. | |
claim that uncertainty caused by the referendum - | :24:24. | :24:25. | |
The Japanese car maker Mitsubishi has apologised | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
for falsifying fuel data - on more than 600,000 vehicles - | :24:33. | :24:34. | |
in order to make them appear more efficient. | :24:35. | :24:36. | |
The company's share price has fallen sharply - | :24:37. | :24:38. | |
and the Japanese government is considering whether | :24:39. | :24:40. | |
Four Mitsubishi and Nissan models are affected - most of them | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton - the frontrunners in the Republican | :24:45. | :24:58. | |
and Democratic races to be presidential | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
candidates in November - have both secured comfortable wins | :25:03. | :25:04. | |
in the crucial New York primary contest. | :25:05. | :25:06. | |
But there's still some way to go before the choice is finalised. | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
The Democratic nominee will need the votes of 2,383 delegates. | :25:12. | :25:18. | |
So far Hillary Clinton has 1,930 - she still needs 453 to become | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
For the Republicans - their candidate needs the support | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
of 1,237 delegates - Donald Trump has 845 - | :25:28. | :25:29. | |
Our correspondent Nick Bryant watched the results in New York | :25:30. | :25:37. | |
Donald Trump entered his victory rally with Big Apple swagger. | :25:38. | :25:52. | |
Frank Sinatra's great anthem echoing around the atrium of the skyscraper | :25:53. | :26:01. | |
I can think of nowhere that I would rather have this victory. | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
Winning over 60% of the vote, which gives him a big delegate haul | :26:06. | :26:15. | |
that moves him closer to the Republican | :26:16. | :26:17. | |
We don't have much of a race anymore, based on what I'm | :26:18. | :26:24. | |
Senator Cruz is just about mathematically eliminated. | :26:25. | :26:26. | |
For all of his boasts the race is not over yet, | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
he can still be stopped if his opponents get enough | :26:30. | :26:31. | |
delegates in upcoming contests to deprive him of an | :26:32. | :26:34. | |
# Let's hear it for New York... # | :26:35. | :26:41. | |
For Hillary Clinton, it's becoming far more clear-cut. | :26:42. | :26:43. | |
And for New York's former senator, this was the happiest | :26:44. | :26:45. | |
Today you proved once again there's no place like home. | :26:46. | :26:54. | |
No wonder the big grin, it's become almost impossible | :26:55. | :26:56. | |
for her rival, Bernie Sanders, to catch her. | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
The race for the Democratic nomination is in the home stretch, | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
Many Democrats still refuse to embrace her but with the Republican | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
Party in a state of civil war, are we looking at America's | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
This really was the night of the front runners, | :27:14. | :27:20. | |
Donald Trump winning in the state of his birth, | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
Hillary Clinton claiming victory in her adopted political home. | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
It really was a case of New York, New York. | :27:28. | :27:29. | |
In Poland, tens of thousands of people are expected to take | :27:30. | :27:37. | |
to the streets tomorrow - in the biggest protest | :27:38. | :27:39. | |
so far against a new proposal to ban abortion. | :27:40. | :27:44. | |
Poland already has some of the strictest abortion laws | :27:45. | :27:46. | |
in the European Union, but the move - supported | :27:47. | :27:49. | |
by the Roman Catholic Church - and to some extent by the Polish | :27:50. | :27:51. | |
government - is causing deep divisons within society. | :27:52. | :27:54. | |
As Reeta Chakrabarti reports from Warsaw. | :27:55. | :28:00. | |
A stark reminder of old and dangerous measures. | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
The coat hanger protests have swept Poland for weeks with people bluntly | :28:06. | :28:08. | |
suggesting that a move to ban abortion could see a return | :28:09. | :28:11. | |
We are a very Catholic country and I don't have anything | :28:12. | :28:20. | |
against Catholics, but I do mind when the priests | :28:21. | :28:22. | |
I came here because I believe that our abortion legislation | :28:23. | :28:29. | |
a citizens' bill into Parliament to ban abortion. | :28:30. | :28:44. | |
Poland already has some of the most restrictive abortion laws in the EU, | :28:45. | :28:53. | |
it's allowed in cases of rape, if the mother's life is in danger, | :28:54. | :28:56. | |
or if there are medical problems with the foetus. | :28:57. | :28:58. | |
There have been attempts in the past to tighten the laws further, | :28:59. | :29:01. | |
the difference this time around for pro-life campaigners | :29:02. | :29:03. | |
is a Conservative government that actively promotes traditional, | :29:04. | :29:05. | |
The government has expressed some support for a ban and campaigners | :29:06. | :29:11. | |
are hopeful the law will at least be tightened. | :29:12. | :29:18. | |
The main aim of this initiative is to ensure that every human being, | :29:19. | :29:21. | |
regardless of its stage of development will have the same | :29:22. | :29:23. | |
Don't you think that by backing the bill you will be making Poland | :29:24. | :29:36. | |
much more restrictive than most of the other | :29:37. | :29:37. | |
Well, I would say that a person from the moment of conception has | :29:38. | :29:46. | |
a unique genetic code, completely independent | :29:47. | :29:47. | |
That view is shared and widely promoted by the Catholic Church | :29:48. | :29:53. | |
Its importance lies not just in religion but in the country's | :29:54. | :30:02. | |
recent history, when communism was opposed by the church. | :30:03. | :30:04. | |
It was the Communists who made the abortion law very liberal. | :30:05. | :30:12. | |
And I think it is understandable that a country which says goodbye | :30:13. | :30:21. | |
to Communism changes many things, including this one. | :30:22. | :30:23. | |
Opinion polls suggest Poland is less liberal on abortion than it was 20 | :30:24. | :30:26. | |
years ago, but moves to ban it entirely dividing society. | :30:27. | :30:29. | |
And could leave Poland at odds with the rest of the EU. | :30:30. | :30:34. | |
In a moment, here on BBC One, it'll be time for the news | :30:35. | :30:44. | |
where you are - but we'll leave you with some memories | :30:45. | :30:46. | |
of one of Britain's best-loved entertainers, | :30:47. | :30:48. | |
# Let's do it, let's do it, I really want to run amok # | :30:49. | :30:54. | |
If Marjorie were to let her concentration lapse for just one | :30:55. | :31:08. | |
# Let's go, because I know, just how I wanted to behave | :31:09. | :31:13. | |
# Beat me on the bottom with a Woman's Weekly | :31:14. | :31:19. | |
# Let's do it, let's do it...# | :31:20. | :31:21. | |
Have you ever been three weeks late? | :31:22. | :31:24. |
