Tonight at Ten: The Nigerians hit back at Britain after their country

:00:00.:00:08.

was called fantastically corrupt by David Cameron.

:00:09.:00:21.

The Nigerian President, attending an anticorruption summit in London,

:00:22.:00:24.

I am not going to demand any apology from anybody.

:00:25.:00:29.

But Mr Cameron, overheard yesterday calling Nigeria corrupt,

:00:30.:00:35.

said he was taking steps to stop people hiding stolen wealth

:00:36.:00:38.

One of the steps we're taking to make sure that foreign companies

:00:39.:00:46.

that own UK property have to declare who the beneficial owner is,

:00:47.:00:50.

will be one of the ways we make sure that plundered money from African

:00:51.:00:54.

We'll have more reaction, and we'll be talking

:00:55.:00:57.

to the Nigerian President about the allegations made.

:00:58.:01:04.

Also tonight: The official threat level to Britain

:01:05.:01:07.

from Northern Ireland-related terrorism has been raised

:01:08.:01:08.

More than 90 people have died in a series of bomb

:01:09.:01:16.

attacks in Baghdad claimed by so-called Islamic State.

:01:17.:01:21.

Gordon and Boris both take to the campaign trail on opposing

:01:22.:01:31.

sides of the debate on Britain's future in the EU.

:01:32.:01:34.

And, a concert designed for canine ears, we take Jumble

:01:35.:01:36.

Coming up in Sportsday on BBC News, Sunderland

:01:37.:01:40.

ensure their Premier League survival with a win over Everton

:01:41.:01:42.

but relegate Newcastle and Norwich in the process.

:01:43.:02:04.

President Buhari of Nigeria, whose country was described

:02:05.:02:12.

as fantastically corrupt by David Cameron, has hit back today

:02:13.:02:17.

and suggested that Britain is also a haven for corrupt money.

:02:18.:02:20.

He urged the UK to return billions of pounds of assets stolen

:02:21.:02:24.

by Nigerian officials who fled to Britain.

:02:25.:02:26.

During the day, Mr Cameron was asked what he was doing to stop the London

:02:27.:02:30.

property market being used to hide stolen wealth?

:02:31.:02:33.

President Buhari has been speaking to my colleague Clive Myrie.

:02:34.:02:38.

Mr President, has David Cameron insulted Nigeria?

:02:39.:02:41.

President Buhari arrived in London with the kind of billing unheard

:02:42.:02:44.

of for a foreign guest on an official visit.

:02:45.:02:48.

His country's accused of being fantastically corrupt

:02:49.:02:51.

The President didn't mind the candour, he just wants help

:02:52.:02:58.

and the return of Nigerian money stolen by corrupt officials

:02:59.:03:00.

I am not going to demand any apology from anybody.

:03:01.:03:07.

What I am demanding is the return of assets.

:03:08.:03:11.

Some of those stolen assets end up in London

:03:12.:03:15.

and while the Prime Minister's assessment was brutal...

:03:16.:03:23.

...the President understood the comments.

:03:24.:03:26.

Why should I ask him to apologise for telling the truth?

:03:27.:03:34.

I can't pretend that Nigeria is not corrupt, that there was no

:03:35.:03:37.

London and Nigeria have been linked by corruption for years.

:03:38.:03:46.

This man, James Ibori, the governor of an oil

:03:47.:03:48.

rich Nigerian state, was jailed for 13 years

:03:49.:03:53.

at Southwark Crown Court in 2012 for money-laundering and corruption.

:03:54.:03:56.

He had hidden a fortune in London, buying property and flash cars.

:03:57.:03:59.

The fraud on his own people was worth ?50 million and it's

:04:00.:04:01.

estimated others in Nigeria's greedy ruling elite have laundered billions

:04:02.:04:04.

In the Commons, Mr Cameron made light of yesterday's gaffe.

:04:05.:04:10.

Well, first of all, I better check the microphone

:04:11.:04:12.

is on before speaking, it's probably a good idea.

:04:13.:04:17.

But he was pressed to more vigorously help President Buhari.

:04:18.:04:20.

Has the Prime Minister read the appeals from Nigerian

:04:21.:04:23.

campaigners who say, our efforts are sadly undermined

:04:24.:04:26.

if countries such as your own are welcoming our corrupt

:04:27.:04:29.

to hide their ill-gotten gains in your luxury homes,

:04:30.:04:34.

department stores, car dealerships, private schools, and anywhere else

:04:35.:04:37.

that will accept their cash with no questions asked?

:04:38.:04:43.

One of the steps we're taking to make sure that foreign companies

:04:44.:04:46.

that own UK property have to declare who the beneficial owner is will be

:04:47.:04:51.

one of the ways we make sure that plundered money from African

:04:52.:04:55.

It's Nigerian's ordinary citizens who are losing out.

:04:56.:05:01.

This is an oil rich nation, yet a third of the population

:05:02.:05:05.

The corruption taints all walks of life.

:05:06.:05:10.

When I visited last year our driver was asked for a bribe

:05:11.:05:13.

The police threatened a hefty parking fine if he didn't pay.

:05:14.:05:23.

From the lower levels, everyday to top level managers,

:05:24.:05:29.

The young and old are dying of corruption daily.

:05:30.:05:36.

You can't estimate how much we need to stop corruption in Nigeria.

:05:37.:05:41.

President Buhari and his people are asking for the world's

:05:42.:05:45.

What David Cameron decides to do in London could change many lives,

:05:46.:05:52.

Our diplomatic correspondent James Landale is in Downing

:05:53.:05:59.

The threat level from Northern Ireland-related terrorism

:06:00.:07:24.

on the British mainland has been raised from moderate

:07:25.:07:26.

It means the security services believe an attack is

:07:27.:07:29.

Police say there's a real and serious threat from dissident

:07:30.:07:33.

republicans, as our Ireland correspondent Chris Buckler reports.

:07:34.:07:36.

The threat of violence has never left the streets

:07:37.:07:38.

It was only two months ago that the prison officer Adrian Ismay

:07:39.:07:45.

died after a bomb exploded into his van in Belfast.

:07:46.:07:50.

And in recent months there have been other attacks linked

:07:51.:07:55.

to dissident republican paramilitaries.

:07:56.:08:00.

There are now concerns that they will attempt

:08:01.:08:02.

to take their campaign of violence to other parts of the UK.

:08:03.:08:05.

We've seen the murderous capability of dissident republicans

:08:06.:08:07.

in Northern Ireland but, if anything, I suspect this change

:08:08.:08:09.

of threat level indicates a rise in their capacity and capability

:08:10.:08:12.

in mainland GB, and that is something that causes concern.

:08:13.:08:18.

The threat level for international terrorism in the UK

:08:19.:08:21.

is currently at severe, meaning an attack is highly likely.

:08:22.:08:27.

Terrorism linked to Irish dissidents is classified separately.

:08:28.:08:32.

The threat of an attack by Republicans in Northern Ireland

:08:33.:08:35.

is also severe, but in mainland Britain, until today,

:08:36.:08:38.

it was judged by MI5 to be moderate, that an attack

:08:39.:08:41.

Now it has been raised to substantial, which means

:08:42.:08:45.

It's 15 years since the last serious campaign of violence

:08:46.:08:52.

Among the attacks was this bombing at the BBC's

:08:53.:08:56.

And this former Deputy Chief Constable says there are indications

:08:57.:09:03.

that dissidents again have access to explosives.

:09:04.:09:06.

They have deployed a number of undercar booby-traps.

:09:07.:09:09.

It looks as though those were made with Semtex,

:09:10.:09:13.

possibly from old IRA stocks that were decommissioned.

:09:14.:09:16.

They have shown more sophistication in types and frequency of attacks

:09:17.:09:20.

Senior officers had warned that dissidents were planning attacks

:09:21.:09:26.

to coincide with the centenary of the Easter Rising,

:09:27.:09:29.

an historic rebellion against British rule in Ireland.

:09:30.:09:32.

And they are worried in particular about one group

:09:33.:09:34.

The threat from Isis and Al-Qaeda is much

:09:35.:09:41.

higher on the mainland, but, of course, all this does

:09:42.:09:44.

is take away some resources to focus on the threat from the IRA.

:09:45.:09:50.

The truth is the threat from republican paramilitaries never

:09:51.:09:53.

went away, but the raising of the threat level is a reminder

:09:54.:09:58.

to police forces in Britain in particular that there

:09:59.:10:02.

are still people intent on wrecking years of political progress

:10:03.:10:05.

More than 90 people are reported to have been killed in a series

:10:06.:10:14.

The deadliest was in a market in a mainly Shia area

:10:15.:10:19.

The so-called Islamic State group said it was behind that bombing

:10:20.:10:23.

in Sadr City and two further suicide attacks in other parts

:10:24.:10:25.

Our diplomatic correspondent, Paul Adams, reports.

:10:26.:10:32.

Carnage in Sadr City, scenes reminiscent of the darkest

:10:33.:10:35.

This vast, mainly Shi'ite district, the scene of so many atrocities,

:10:36.:10:42.

witnessing the worst attack on the capital in months.

:10:43.:10:47.

A pick-up truck, explosives hidden under fruit and vegetables,

:10:48.:10:52.

detonating in the midst of a busy market.

:10:53.:10:54.

So-called Islamic State said it carried out all today's attacks

:10:55.:10:57.

and that this one was aimed at Shi'ite militiamen

:10:58.:11:01.

but many of the victims were women and children.

:11:02.:11:05.

TRANSLATION: Young people want to live here but security

:11:06.:11:08.

They say they have metal detectors to detect explosives

:11:09.:11:11.

How can car bombs like this go through checkpoints?

:11:12.:11:15.

TRANSLATION: Many people were killed and you can see blood everywhere.

:11:16.:11:17.

They were poor people who were here to earn their living.

:11:18.:11:20.

Can this corrupt Government tell us why?

:11:21.:11:26.

Since the fall of Saddam Hussein, successive Iraqi governments

:11:27.:11:28.

have failed to tackle the problem of corruption.

:11:29.:11:34.

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki promised to do something about it

:11:35.:11:36.

but attacked and imprisoned those who complained.

:11:37.:11:41.

The army was so corrupt and sectarian that when so-called

:11:42.:11:44.

Islamic State seized huge swathes of the country

:11:45.:11:46.

Under a new Prime Minister, Haider al-Abadi, Government

:11:47.:11:52.

forces have slowly been clawing territory back.

:11:53.:11:56.

But corruption has persisted and popular anger about it has mounted.

:11:57.:12:00.

At the end of April, crowds loyal to the country's most

:12:01.:12:03.

influential Shi'ite cleric stormed the heavily fortified Green Zone

:12:04.:12:06.

As they condemned the latest violence by Islamic State,

:12:07.:12:13.

American officials seemed to be urging the country's

:12:14.:12:15.

The recent spate of attacks by Daesh is a latest reminder of the danger

:12:16.:12:23.

this group poses to all Iraqis and the importance of Iraqi leaders

:12:24.:12:26.

from all communities working together to quickly resolve

:12:27.:12:30.

differences so the progress made against Daesh continues.

:12:31.:12:34.

The Government today said it had retaken two-thirds of

:12:35.:12:36.

the territory it lost to Islamic State two years ago.

:12:37.:12:39.

But even if it is on the back foot, IS is still capable

:12:40.:12:42.

of striking fear far beyond the territory it controls.

:12:43.:12:47.

There are just six weeks to go to the referendum on Britain's

:12:48.:12:55.

And today both sides stepped up their campaigns.

:12:56.:13:00.

Boris Johnson launched the Vote Leave bus in Cornwall,

:13:01.:13:03.

while Gordon Brown, the former Prime Minister,

:13:04.:13:06.

added his voice to the calls to remain in the EU.

:13:07.:13:09.

In a moment our political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, reports

:13:10.:13:11.

on the Gordon Brown intervention, but first our deputy political

:13:12.:13:14.

editor, John Pienaar, reports on his day with Boris Johnson.

:13:15.:13:20.

A crowd that loves you, or think they do, and a big message

:13:21.:13:26.

from the Leave campaign's most famous face - vote to quit the EU.

:13:27.:13:29.

Thank you very much for coming along, everybody.

:13:30.:13:31.

It doesn't look too stage-managed, but it is.

:13:32.:13:36.

Try to raise a pro-EU, anti-Tory poster, and see what happens.

:13:37.:13:40.

You will be coming out on June the 23rd?

:13:41.:13:46.

This stuff's the staple diet of the big campaign,

:13:47.:13:50.

Not always, not everywhere, but Boris Johnson is box office.

:13:51.:14:00.

What people want most, though, are facts, objective truth -

:14:01.:14:03.

Back on the campaign bus - German-made, by the way -

:14:04.:14:13.

and Labour's Gisela Stuart onside, he flatly denied the Leave

:14:14.:14:16.

vote would hit the pound and share prices.

:14:17.:14:18.

A lot of people will be interested in this,

:14:19.:14:20.

and they would like an answer - a straight one, if possible...

:14:21.:14:23.

Are you saying there would be no reaction on the markets?

:14:24.:14:26.

I think it might be a very positive reaction.

:14:27.:14:28.

Do you really believe the pound would not fall, as it has

:14:29.:14:31.

May I remind you that everybody said the pound would fall as a result

:14:32.:14:36.

of us leaving the ERM, on the contrary, the pound

:14:37.:14:39.

strengthened and interest rates were cut.

:14:40.:14:40.

And with all the talk of corruption in the air?

:14:41.:14:43.

I would say that the EU budget is endemically corrupt.

:14:44.:14:46.

I think it is something that is in the nature of the beast

:14:47.:14:49.

Just because it's collective funding, nobody has any

:14:50.:14:54.

sense of particular, individual, national

:14:55.:14:56.

responsibility for it, so a lot of it gets wasted.

:14:57.:15:00.

He looks like he's winning support, but it doesn't mean he always is.

:15:01.:15:09.

You know Boris Johnson, he's a bit of a character?

:15:10.:15:11.

But he's not going to help you make your mind

:15:12.:15:15.

Like you said, he's a very charismatic individual,

:15:16.:15:19.

I think we all can say that, can't we?

:15:20.:15:21.

But, when it comes down to it, a place like Cornwall needs to think

:15:22.:15:24.

properly and needs to think about how important

:15:25.:15:26.

I'm a big Boris fan, but for his personality.

:15:27.:15:30.

I'm not sure about his politics and about leaving Europe.

:15:31.:15:32.

Tell me this, is Boris going to help you make up your mind

:15:33.:15:41.

He will help make my mind more determined to vote Out.

:15:42.:15:46.

Not very original, politicians pulling pints, but the

:15:47.:15:50.

They rather like Boris Johnson, too, but this referendum is real.

:15:51.:15:54.

So how should we look at the man who is the Leave campaign's biggest

:15:55.:15:57.

asset and who just may also be Britain's

:15:58.:16:00.

It is six years since Gordon Brown was in charge.

:16:01.:16:15.

In power, his biggest call was to keep us out of

:16:16.:16:18.

the European Union's biggest project, joining the euro.

:16:19.:16:21.

But if Labour's campaign for In has been short on gusto,

:16:22.:16:24.

We should be a leader in Europe, not simply a member.

:16:25.:16:30.

We should not be fully out and we should not be half out.

:16:31.:16:33.

There have been nerves about getting Labour voters involved.

:16:34.:16:39.

Reluctant support for the European Union might not get

:16:40.:16:41.

But beyond the economics, the former Prime Minister is using different

:16:42.:16:46.

We British have historically been outward looking, not inward looking.

:16:47.:16:51.

We've not seen the Channel as some sort of moat.

:16:52.:16:54.

What sense does it make if we think of ourselves in this way,

:16:55.:16:59.

that we break off relations with our nearest neighbours?

:17:00.:17:01.

Mr Brown's fiery last-minute political sermons did galvanise

:17:02.:17:03.

When the independence referendum looked close and tight,

:17:04.:17:15.

But will voters around the UK listen to him now?

:17:16.:17:24.

I opposed joining the euro and I stood out against some

:17:25.:17:28.

of my colleagues on that because I thought that

:17:29.:17:31.

I'm not going to support Europe right or wrong.

:17:32.:17:36.

I'm going to support European cooperation where it is in Britain's

:17:37.:17:38.

national interest and I will oppose it if I think it is not

:17:39.:17:41.

When you look at the campaign right now that is trying

:17:42.:17:46.

to persuade people to stay, do you see the leadership that

:17:47.:17:48.

I think we've had a phoney war and we are now into

:17:49.:17:54.

You've got six weeks to go and I think the positive message I'm

:17:55.:17:58.

putting forward has got a way of getting across particularly

:17:59.:18:00.

to people that did not vote Conservative.

:18:01.:18:02.

The implication of you coming forward to make this case is that

:18:03.:18:05.

you are not convinced that Labour has been showing the leadership that

:18:06.:18:08.

Are you satisfied with how engaged Jeremy Corbyn has been?

:18:09.:18:11.

I can make a contribution, but when people realise

:18:12.:18:13.

that the Labour Party is fully behind staying

:18:14.:18:16.

in the European Union, I think the Labour voters who have

:18:17.:18:19.

historically in the last 20 or 30 years supported Europe,

:18:20.:18:23.

will come out to vote in favour of Europe.

:18:24.:18:26.

He may be long gone from the biggest job, but in the next

:18:27.:18:29.

few weeks he will be on our screens and in this debate.

:18:30.:18:32.

Gordon Brown always did want to make completely sure

:18:33.:18:34.

Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Westminster.

:18:35.:18:44.

The government White Paper on the future of the BBC will be

:18:45.:18:47.

published tomorrow and it's expected to shape the BBC's governance,

:18:48.:18:49.

finances, and range of activities, for the coming decade.

:18:50.:18:52.

Some of the details are emerging ahead of publication.

:18:53.:18:54.

Our media correspondent, David Sillito, is here.

:18:55.:19:01.

What are you learning? Months of negotiation and at last some light.

:19:02.:19:10.

The BBC trust that oversees the BBC almost certain is going to go. If

:19:11.:19:15.

you want to complain about impartiality or accuracy in future

:19:16.:19:19.

you will go to the government regulator, Ofcom. The day-to-day

:19:20.:19:23.

running, they will be a new board but how much those directors will be

:19:24.:19:27.

appointed by the government? Still some debate on that but what is

:19:28.:19:31.

interesting other things not appear in the White Paper. No sign of top

:19:32.:19:37.

slicing, giving money away to rival broadcasters. No mention of meddling

:19:38.:19:41.

in the schedules, telling the BBC when it can or can't put on Strictly

:19:42.:19:47.

Come Dancing. But a change overpaid. If you are a manager, all your pay

:19:48.:19:52.

details are public but not if you are a start but in the future,

:19:53.:20:00.

anybody paid more than -- more than 400 5000 -- 400 ?50,000.

:20:01.:20:05.

Members of the National Assembly for Wales elected last week have

:20:06.:20:10.

failed to agree on who should be First Minister for

:20:11.:20:13.

Ever since the Assembly was created, the post has been held

:20:14.:20:17.

The proposed election today of Carwyn Jones, the First Minister

:20:18.:20:21.

since 2009, was blocked by a combination of Plaid Cymru,

:20:22.:20:23.

Plaid Cymru nominated its leader, Leanne Wood, for First Minister.

:20:24.:20:30.

The result was a tie and the deadlock looks set

:20:31.:20:32.

In Brazil, senators are debating whether the president,

:20:33.:20:42.

Dilma Rousseff, should face a full impeachment trial.

:20:43.:20:46.

If a simple majority votes in favour, as is expected,

:20:47.:20:50.

she will be automatically suspended for six months.

:20:51.:20:52.

The president is accused of illegally manipulating finances

:20:53.:20:54.

Moves to force the president from office have divided Brazil.

:20:55.:21:05.

We can join our correspondent Wyre Davies in the capital, Brasilia.

:21:06.:21:15.

Brazil is deeply divided, the government's opponents say this is a

:21:16.:21:21.

day of hope but these borders say it is the day democracy died. At the

:21:22.:21:26.

centre of it all, the country's first female president, about be

:21:27.:21:29.

ceremoniously suspended in what she says is a coup d'etat.

:21:30.:21:32.

The final hours before Brazil's Senate began

:21:33.:21:34.

a debate on the future of the country's

:21:35.:21:35.

Dilma Rousseff's opponents in the streets of the capital,

:21:36.:21:41.

ecstatic in the knowledge that she could soon be

:21:42.:21:43.

Last week, President Rousseff had welcomed the Olympic flame to Brazil

:21:44.:21:52.

but is destined to play no official role in the Games themselves.

:21:53.:21:56.

Instead, the prospect of an impeachment trial over charges

:21:57.:21:58.

that she illegally concealed the size of the deficit.

:21:59.:22:00.

Facing humiliation but still defiant, in a rare sit-down

:22:01.:22:05.

interview, Dilma Rousseff told me the accusations

:22:06.:22:08.

against her were baseless and that she was the victim

:22:09.:22:11.

of a judicial coup by her political enemies.

:22:12.:22:18.

TRANSLATION: We will keep fighting to come back

:22:19.:22:20.

to government if the impeachment request is accepted.

:22:21.:22:23.

What we will do is to resist, resist and resist.

:22:24.:22:26.

And fight to ensure that we will come out victorious.

:22:27.:22:34.

But with the economy in recession and the government in the grip

:22:35.:22:37.

of a huge corruption scandal, there is nationwide discontent.

:22:38.:22:42.

Dilma Rousseff's popularity has fallen to an all-time low.

:22:43.:22:45.

Reason enough for these senators today to be supporting calls

:22:46.:22:49.

for the President's impeachment and her immediate

:22:50.:22:51.

All things will be good for us because we have

:22:52.:22:59.

This is the question, and we need to solve this

:23:00.:23:03.

This long, drawn-out, divisive process is being played out

:23:04.:23:11.

in the full glare of the media and the consensus is that it has

:23:12.:23:15.

badly damaged the standing and reputation of Brazil's

:23:16.:23:17.

In Rome, the Pope even offered prayers for his fellow South

:23:18.:23:24.

But in Brazil, few have any faith that the country's myriad problems

:23:25.:23:29.

will be quickly solved by Dilma Rousseff's

Saudi Arabia's state oil company has opened its door to Western

:23:40.:23:41.

journalists ahead of a massive share flotation which would confirm

:23:42.:23:44.

its place as the world's most valuable company.

:23:45.:23:49.

Saudi Aramco is worth an estimated 2 trillion dollars -

:23:50.:23:52.

four times bigger than its nearest corporate rival, Apple.

:23:53.:23:55.

It produces over 10 million barrels of oil a day -

:23:56.:23:58.

Saudi Arabia is dependent on it for 90% of its revenue,

:23:59.:24:02.

but the kingdom's rulers plan to use the money from the flotation

:24:03.:24:05.

Our business editor, Simon Jack, reports

:24:06.:24:10.

The temperature is still about 43 Celsius or about 109 Fahrenheit.

:24:11.:24:20.

One in every eight barrels of crude oil comes from underneath

:24:21.:24:24.

This single plant produces more than the entire North Sea.

:24:25.:24:30.

It's rare to be invited here but the state-owned oil

:24:31.:24:33.

company and its chief executive, Amin Nasser,

:24:34.:24:36.

It's offering up a slice of the world's most valuable company

:24:37.:24:44.

to try to encourage future foreign investment in other industries.

:24:45.:24:49.

This is Shaybah, a south-eastern outpost of Aramco's sprawling

:24:50.:24:52.

empire, which they now want to sell a slice

:24:53.:24:55.

Do they want to sell the family silver, change the oil regime

:24:56.:25:02.

and strategy and diversify the Saudi economy after all these years?

:25:03.:25:08.

I think it is timely and overdue to identify new resources,

:25:09.:25:11.

rely more on investment for additional streams

:25:12.:25:13.

Is that because of the arrival of US shale?

:25:14.:25:23.

Is it because we are looking at a future with fewer hydrocarbons?

:25:24.:25:25.

Are you worried that you have so much of the stuff in the ground

:25:26.:25:31.

that one day you won't be able to sell it?

:25:32.:25:33.

Yes, there are more energy resources coming, electric car, renewables,

:25:34.:25:38.

but they are starting from a small base, there is still

:25:39.:25:40.

However, oil will continue to play a major part for the long term.

:25:41.:25:50.

Near Aramco's headquarters in Dhahran, people agreed that

:25:51.:25:53.

They graduated and have degrees but they stay at home.

:25:54.:26:03.

And there are older men like us who are retired,

:26:04.:26:06.

God willing, I want a job and a shop and to get

:26:07.:26:12.

And later, after I retire, I want my kids to be comfortable

:26:13.:26:16.

Make no mistake, diversifying does not mean producing less oil.

:26:17.:26:22.

In fact, Aramco said it would probably produce more this

:26:23.:26:26.

year than last, but why, when it pushes global prices down?

:26:27.:26:30.

It doesn't, as it were, matter whether they produce

:26:31.:26:33.

them at low prices today because they are not saving

:26:34.:26:35.

them up, as it were, for high prices tomorrow.

:26:36.:26:39.

They continue to produce regardless of the price because,

:26:40.:26:42.

in effect, you could regard their reserves as infinite.

:26:43.:26:48.

So, no relief in sight for competitors like the North Sea.

:26:49.:26:50.

The oil beneath the desert will keep on coming.

:26:51.:26:53.

Football, and it's been a crucial evening for teams struggling

:26:54.:27:03.

Sunderland have saved themselves, and ensured the relegation of local

:27:04.:27:11.

rivals Newcastle and also Norwich, with a 3-0 win

:27:12.:27:13.

Our correspondent Andy Swiss has been watching the action.

:27:14.:27:19.

Even for Sunderland's most dogged supporters,

:27:20.:27:21.

there has not been much to smile about this season, but they swarmed

:27:22.:27:24.

the Stadium of Light with a double incentive.

:27:25.:27:29.

Victory over Everton would not just secure their safety, it

:27:30.:27:32.

would relegate their local rivals, Newcastle.

:27:33.:27:36.

And if those neighbours were watching on nervously,

:27:37.:27:38.

First, Patrick van Aanholt eased the tension with

:27:39.:27:44.

And very soon it was the Stadium of Delight.

:27:45.:27:51.

Lamine Kone lashing home a second before the break and sending

:27:52.:27:53.

And, come the second half, their joy and Newcastle's

:27:54.:28:02.

Once Kone had made it 3-0, the party was in full swing

:28:03.:28:10.

and the final whistle brought relief and release.

:28:11.:28:15.

While their fiercest rivals plummet through the Premier League trapdoor,

:28:16.:28:17.

Sunderland have, once again, pulled off the great escape.

:28:18.:28:27.

A night of high emotions here in the north-east, delight for Sunderland

:28:28.:28:34.

but what about Newcastle? They have spent more than ?80 million on new

:28:35.:28:39.

players in the last year and yet they are down. So our Norwich City
