Tonight at Ten, inside one of Europe's biggest jails, | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Wandsworth in south London, to see the challenge | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
There's overcrowding, violence, drugs, and corruption - | :00:10. | :00:17. | |
leaving both staff and inmates fearing for their own | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
They're so short-staffed in here, this place can't be run. | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
Staffing levels are often cited as a major cause | :00:26. | :00:34. | |
of the prison's problems, taking a heavy toll | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
I think I'm probably the most stressed that I've been | :00:37. | :00:44. | |
We'll have an exclusive report, on the day the Government unveiled | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
a radical reform programme for prisons in England and Wales | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
Those reforms were featured, along with 20 other bills, | :00:52. | :01:00. | |
as the Government outlined its plans for the year ahead. | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
The police commander on the day of the Hillsborough football | :01:06. | :01:07. | |

but we caught up with him in San Francisco. | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
When I was at the Coroner's Court, I gave a message and I had nothing | :01:17. | :01:21. | |

Queen's Speech setting out the Government's plans | :01:46. | :02:11. | |
for the year ahead. Among them was a measure to reform | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
the troubled prison system in England and Wales - | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
the biggest reform since The governors of six prisons | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
are to be given extensive new powers over budgets | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
and education programmes. Among them is Wandsworth Prison | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
in south-west London, After months of negotiating | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
with the Ministry of Justice, the BBC has gained exclusive access | :02:29. | :02:36. | |
inside the prison to see Our correspondent Ed Thomas has | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
spent the past week inside. The BBC has been given | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
unprecedented access Over seven days, we saw | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
the fear and violence. There's one person under restraint | :02:54. | :03:04. | |
there. You've got to be able | :03:05. | :03:05. | |
to defend yourself, innit. If you can't defend yourself, | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
you'll become a victim, innit? And the prison officers pushed | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
to the very edge. I think I'm probably the most | :03:13. | :03:24. | |
stressed I've been in 24 years A prisoner has refused | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
to go back to his cell. 20 years ago, the inmate | :03:27. | :03:43. | |
in the middle of all of this We can't identify him, | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
but he told us he was trapped I've had warfare | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
with politics in jail. I've got sliced down the side | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
of the face. I've got three broken | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
bones in my hand. I've had murderers in here, | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
left right and centre. I've gone to them, and said, look, | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
at the end of the day, you're putting in a predicament | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
where I have no alternative but to utilise violence | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
for my safety. And, with the greatest of respect, | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
they're so short staffed in here, Even a lot of the staff that | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
are in here are in fear. Next E Wing - and the smell | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
of cannabis is everywhere. It's overwhelming, | :04:23. | :04:31. | |
especially up here. And then we see it - | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
a group smoking below No-one cares, it's | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
like there's no order. How do you feel about people smoking | :04:39. | :04:47. | |
cannabis down there? Imagine they can't get it next week, | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
there's going to be fights and that. Where can you get cannabis | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
from around here? How does that make | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
you feel, hearing that? Well, obviously, | :04:59. | :05:11. | |
it's not good, is it? It defeats everything that we're | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
trying to do as a service. You don't have to look far to find | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
drugs in Wandsworth. He says all drugs are available | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
at all times. You can get Spice, you can get | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
heroin, you can get crack. All I've got to do is go down | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
to the twos, to the threes, Everything's there, | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
anything you like. Then there's the alcohol, | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
brewed in cells. And the mobile phones too, | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
all smuggled into Wandsworth. A smartphone, several hundred quid | :05:46. | :05:59. | |
they go for, retail price. This prisoner asked us not | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
to show his face. I know officers that charge you say | :06:03. | :06:11. | |
?500 a parcel, the size of, say, three tennis balls full of drugs, | :06:12. | :06:24. | |
phones, whatever you want. The BBC was invited here to hear | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
these stories, to see the pressure from a Governor | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
who's demanding change. Corruption is the one thing that | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
I absolutely cannot stand, one of the first things we will do | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
with reform is to think very carefully about how do we deal | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
with those issues of corruption and what do we do to tackle those | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
staff bringing those drugs in? That will deal with some | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
of the issues that you've highlighted and you've | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
seen over the last week. But how long will this | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
prison reform take? The pressure inside is building now, | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
and officers are getting hurt. At the moment, he's just been | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
a victim of an assault. My wife worries that I'm | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
not going to come home. If she could, she would have me out | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
of the job. Wandsworth has been | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
Andy Topping's life. I believe my staff want | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
to make a difference. What's happening | :07:24. | :07:32. | |
to your mental health? I don't think people care | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
about what's happening What is happening | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
to your mental health? I think I'm probably the most | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
stressed I've been in 24 If I'm like my colleagues, | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
I'll retire and I'll die early. This prison revolution, | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
a promise to fix broken jails, The access we have had inside | :07:58. | :08:21. | |
Wandsworth is so rare, to walk down these corridors, to go into the | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
cells and speak to inmates, because the governor here wanted to open up | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
his prison to the outside world. He wanted people to know the pressure | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
he is facing and call for change. Wandsworth will now lead the prison | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
reform. Here, they say it will help with rehabilitation and reoffending, | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
and also speak to the staff here. They say what happens here matters, | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
because too many lives have been wasted, lost behind the prison cell. | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
Ed Thomas in Wandsworth prison tonight. | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
Michael Gove, the Justice Secretary, has admitted there are significant | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
problems within the prison system in England and Wales. | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
He says he has serious concerns about the safety of prisoners | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
and prison staff, and that drugs and violence behind bars | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
could undermine the reforms he is proposing. | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
One new measure could see more prisoners let out of jail to work | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
on day release as part of their rehabilitation. | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
Our special correspondent Lucy Manning reports. | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
Michael Gove knows he's got problems - what to do about prisons many | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
say are overcrowded, underfunded, full | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
So he thinks his new autonomous jails will work. | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
They will, I hope, be places of rehabilitation, | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
But as gangs fight over the supply of drugs in Wandsworth's prison | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
yard, it is clear they're a long way from that. | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
And he doesn't shy away from a damning assessment. | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
Your Chief Inspector of Prisons says that some prisons | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
Do you agree that some of them are not | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
Why do you think they're not fit for purpose? | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
There are some prisons which are not safe enough. | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
Not safe enough for prisoners, Not safe enough for the dedicated | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
Related to that, there are some prisons simply not doing a good | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
enough job in providing either education or employment | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
And he admits the increase in drugs and weapons is worrying. | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
The startling footage of a drone flying in a package of highly | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
addictive legal highs and phones into a prison cell is something | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
the Justice Secretary saw when broadcast by the BBC this week. | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
What did you make of what you saw from that footage? | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
I thought the public will now realise one of the big | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
We're taking action now to deal with the corruption that sometimes | :10:37. | :10:45. | |
facilitates getting these drugs into prison. | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
And we are also taking action to ensure that we audit our estate | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
in order to ensure that we can prevent drugs coming in in the way | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
But critics complain there are just too many people in jails | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
So, part of Mr Gove's plan is allowing people out to work. | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
That means the prisoners can spend time out of their cell and out | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
of jail, working for an employer, learning what responsibility means | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
and preparing for a useful life on the outside. | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
Will that be safe for the wider public? | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
He admits the rise in suicide, self-harm and violence | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
could undermine his reforms but denies funding and staffing | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
But he accepts too many are re-offending. | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
The whole point of having someone in prison, the whole point | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
of spending as much as parents spend to send their kids to Eton | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
on an individual, every year, is to change their lives. | :11:48. | :11:49. | |
We won't a change their lives if we leave them banged | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
It is only by transforming our prisons that we will make | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
That's why, when people say this is a soft agenda and you're | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
coddling prisoners, they couldn't be more wrong. | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
When you have drugs ordered in and just lifted up | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
and over the prison walls, the problems are pretty stark. | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
Mr Gove knows them - but can anything he does change them? | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
Lucy Manning, talking to the Justice Secretary, Michael Gove. | :12:13. | :12:23. | |
Tomorrow on the programme Ed Thomas will have the second | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
of his special reports from inside Wandsworth Prison. | :12:27. | :12:28. | |
As well as prison reform in England and Wales, | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
the Government has been setting out other legislative plans | :12:31. | :12:32. | |
There were 21 bills, including reform of the adoption | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
system in England, plans to recover money back from foreign visitors | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
who use the NHS and a legal right to fast broadband around the UK. | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
But, as our political editor Laura Kuenssberg reports, the day | :12:48. | :12:49. | |
was again clouded by arguments within the Conservative Party | :12:50. | :12:51. | |
The show must go on, and what a show. | :12:52. | :13:03. | |
However uncertain the next five weeks, however divided | :13:04. | :13:05. | |
the governing party, the gold shines as brightly as ever, | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
The Crown, that symbol of power so precious it | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
Arriving first, to be ready for the Royal head. | :13:17. | :13:27. | |
On the 63rd occasion, the Queen proclaiming | :13:28. | :13:35. | |
For the first time, at 90, the monarch taking the lift. | :13:36. | :13:48. | |
A different route into the Royal Robing Room | :13:49. | :13:50. | |
The Labour leader's first time at the front. | :13:51. | :14:05. | |
The Tory leader knows it just might be his last. | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
So the proposals, ministers on both sides of the EU debate want | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
you to think they're still thinking about us all. | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
My Government will use the opportunity of a strengthening | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
economy to deliver security for working people, to increase life | :14:23. | :14:24. | |
In these most gilded of surroundings, a plan | :14:25. | :14:33. | |
My Government will legislate to reform prisons and courts to give | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
There are plans to speed up adoptions and more support | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
An Education Bill, with more Academies in England | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
and new universities too, and a sugar tax on soft drinks. | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
The Prime Minister believes these plans show his ambition to help | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
people politics has forgotten, a one-nation Government, | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
There'll be new laws to tackle extremism and proposed extra powers | :15:04. | :15:11. | |
for the security services and, awkward for Labour, a Bill to renew | :15:12. | :15:13. | |
But look who's watching, look who's waiting, the referendum | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
My Government will hold a referendum on membership of the European Union. | :15:20. | :15:32. | |
Today hasn't been short on ceremony, these occasions never are, | :15:33. | :15:39. | |
but now the Queen's headed back up to the Palace. | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
In terms of brand new ideas, it all feels rather empty. | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
The referendum has put strain on the Government, | :15:50. | :15:51. | |
so it's avoided anything too controversial and some | :15:52. | :15:52. | |
of the previous tricky ideas have actually disappeared. | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
There was no sign of a Sovereignty Bill to appease those | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
who want to leave the EU and only vague proposals for a British Bill | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
of Rights to replace the Human Rights Act. | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
What's actually happening, as a result of this, | :16:09. | :16:10. | |
is that a Government agenda has been parked, or even dropped. | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
That seems to me, not to be the right thing to do. | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
But David Cameron was sticking to his script. | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
This is a Queen's Speech that combines economic security | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
It's the Queen's Speech of a progressive, one-nation | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
Jeremy Corbyn was far from impressed. | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
Whether you're actually in or out of the EU, | :16:36. | :16:37. | |
the main obstacle holding back the people of this country | :16:38. | :16:52. | |
is not the EU, but that Conservative Government. | :16:53. | :16:54. | |
When the Prime Minister talks about this being a one-nation | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
Queen's Speech we, on these benches, know which nation | :16:57. | :16:58. | |
These are strange times in Westminster. | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
Parliament's most significant event of the year might be soon forgotten, | :17:02. | :17:03. | |
but perhaps moments of big political risk require small ambition. | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
a diluted agenda ahead of the EU referendum. What was your sense of | :17:09. | :17:21. | |
the programme unveiled? The referendum howling around | :17:22. | :17:23. | |
Westminster at the moment, along with the wind tonight. It feels like | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
that the Queen's Speech today might not have mattered very much. We may | :17:28. | :17:29. | |
look back in six or 12 months' what was set out today mattered very | :17:30. | :17:37. | |
much. Not just because there are plans and ideased in there that | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
could make a difference, cracking on with broadband in the countryside, | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
paving the way for new universities which might charge higher fees or | :17:46. | :17:47. | |
changes to the prison system or the care system, for that matter. But | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
also because it tells us something more about what David Cameron wants | :17:54. | :17:54. | |
to do with his time in office, if he makes it through the referendum. A | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
member of his team said to me the message he is trying to put forward | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
is that he cares and people who politics has | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
long-forgotten. For the Labour Party and the other oppositions, David | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
Cameron's ambition in that sense might be | :18:13. | :18:13. | |
having a real brass neck. In a time of a squeeze on public budgets the | :18:14. | :18:21. | |
rhetoric certainly rubs with the reality. | :18:22. | :18:22. | |
lay out the Government's desired path, through the centre ground of | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
through the referendum unscathed. Laura, thank | :18:29. | :18:36. | |
you very much again. If you would like more | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
details on the the measures in the Queen's Speech there are full | :18:42. | :18:43. | |
details on our website. bbc.co.uk/politics | :18:44. | :18:52. | |
is the address you need. David Duckenfield -- | :18:53. | :19:16. | |
the former chief superintendent of South Yorkshire police -- | :19:17. | :19:17. | |
who was in charge of policing on the day of the Hillsborough | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
football disaster -- has refused to respond | :19:21. | :19:22. | |
to calls -- that he should The inquests into the deaths | :19:23. | :19:32. | |
of the 96 Liverpool fans -- who died at the ground in 1989 -- | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
concluded that they had David Duckenfield -- | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
the former chief superintendent I gave a message and I had nothing | :19:40. | :20:19. | |
more to say. I hope you will excuse me. It was three weeks ago that the | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
families of the 96 fans who died left the inquests in a mood of | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
jubilant belief. 27 years of fighting for justice at an end. The | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
jury ruled that all of those who lost their lives did so as a result | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
of unlawful killing. David Duckenfield gave the order that | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
opened the gates that allowed supporters into overcrowded | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
terraces. The family say he compounded his mistakes by lying | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
about it over subsequent inquiries. It was the failure to tell the | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
truth, as well as the unlawful killing decisions at the inquest, | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
that have led families to call for Mr Dukinfield to face criminal | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
charges. He may have tried to keep a low profile in places like the | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
United States, but the Crown Prosecution Service are still to | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
decide if he should be subject to new legal proceedings. Tonight, | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
David Duckenfield is believed to be back in Britain, with the message | :21:18. | :21:19. | |
from the Hillsborough families that he still has not been held fully | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
account for his disastrous actions. The Nigerian army has confirmed that | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
one of the 200 Chibok schoolgirls, kidnapped by the militant group | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
Boko Haram, has been found, the first to be | :21:34. | :21:35. | |
rescued in two years. The girls were kidnapped | :21:36. | :21:37. | |
by militants from a boarding school in the north-east of the country | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
in April 2014. Our correspondent, Will Ross, | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
spent time in northern Nigeria following the story, | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
and he's with me now. Would be people be right in thinking | :21:48. | :21:56. | |
and hoping that the circumstances of this girl will lead to finding lots | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
of the others? Very difficult to say, of course. Fantastic news for | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
young Amina's family wef understand there has been a very emotional | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
reunion in her home village. Her mother apparently couldn't stop | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
hugging her. Literally people around had to make sure they didn't | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
collapse on the ground, they were hugging each other so hard. Her life | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
has changed completely. She's come out of this captivity with a four | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
month old baby girl. Yes, the big question is, what about the other | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
218 schoolgirls who are still missing? I think this rescue will | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
give some hope to those relatives that one day they'll also be able to | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
be able to be reunited. It's very difficult still. We think some of | :22:42. | :22:50. | |
them could be being held in this forest. Any attempt to rescue them | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
will be fraught with danger. The jihadists guard them very closely. | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
They know have value. They have tried to use them as bargaining | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
chips to get their own commanders released in a kind of peace deal. | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
Thanks very much for the update. Will Ross there for us. | :23:12. | :23:18. | |
Agreement has been reached to end the long-running dispute | :23:19. | :23:20. | |
between the Government and junior doctors in England. | :23:21. | :23:22. | |
The dispute, over the terms of a new employment contract | :23:23. | :23:24. | |
and weekend working, has resulted in a series | :23:25. | :23:26. | |
But the agreement must still be agreed by junior doctors | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
in a vote as our health editor, Hugh Pym, reports. | :23:31. | :23:32. | |
A dispute which began last autumn, a series of strikes at hospitals | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
in England, tens of thousands of cancelled operations and now, | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
after 10 days of intensive talks, the Government and the doctors' | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
union have reached agreement over a new contract. | :23:43. | :23:44. | |
For ministers, weekend pay was the the key issue. | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
This has the effect of making it much cheaper for hospitals to roster | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
extra doctors at weekends, which will mean that we can promise | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
patients, as part of a bigger seven-day NHS programme, | :23:57. | :23:58. | |
that they should be able to get the same, high quality care | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
which ever day of the week they're admitted to hospitals. | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
But for the British Medical Association there | :24:06. | :24:06. | |
The real important issues in this contract are around making sure | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
There is appropriate educational value to working. | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
That we train the future workforce, consultant workforce, | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
and ensure that patient safety in this country is maintained. | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
The contract agreement will see a basic pay rise of between 10% | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
and 11% with a reduction in unsocial hours pay and an allowance | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
after working more than six weekends per year. | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
Equal opportunities concerns, mainly affecting | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
One doctor said she was now less worried about working | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
I think it is genuinely for the first time addressing junior | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
doctors real and heartfelt concerns about the notion that they can | :24:48. | :24:49. | |
still provide a safe service for patients while being stretched | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
There'll be no further industrial action at hospitals while the ballot | :24:53. | :25:01. | |
Junior doctors members of the BMA will study what's been agreed | :25:02. | :25:09. | |
in early July and certainly no-one's taking the result for granted. | :25:10. | :25:18. | |
It's been a bitter dispute and there's been a negative reaction | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
Even so, the agreement does look like a big step forward with both | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
sides far apart only a few weeks ago, each arguing | :25:26. | :25:27. | |
The Welsh Labour leader, Carwyn Jones, has been re-elected | :25:28. | :25:35. | |
Opposition parties in effect blocked his appointment last week, | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
but today he was elected following a deal with Plaid Cymru. | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
Their leader, Leanne Wood, said it was just a "one-off" | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
Venezuelan police have fired tear gas at thousands of protesters | :25:47. | :25:54. | |
in the capital who blame the socialist government | :25:55. | :25:56. | |
Police arrested several people and blocked roads to prevent | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
the demonstrators from marching to the headquarters of the Electoral | :26:03. | :26:04. | |
The opposition is trying to oust President Maduro from office, | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
but the move has been blocked by authorities. | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
Liverpool failed to win the Europa League Final this | :26:16. | :26:17. | |
Our sports correspondent, Joe Wilson, reports from Basle. | :26:18. | :26:26. | |
Thousands in Basel would never get near to the football stadium. | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
The ticketless and the devoted were left to the fanzone, to be fans. | :26:34. | :26:36. | |
# We're the best football team in the land | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
By 7.00pm local time, rain had fallen. | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
Between the discarded beer cans, keeping dry was a priority. | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
The ground had a roof, with seats beneath, if far | :26:50. | :26:51. | |
On the pitch, this final began at cautious pace. | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
An opening for Liverpool's leaping Daniel Sturridge, | :26:58. | :26:58. | |
Perhaps they could let Sturridge have the ball. | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
So often, the word after Sturridge has been "injured." | :27:05. | :27:19. | |
This time, just follow the ball. | :27:20. | :27:21. | |
Suddenly, Liverpool surged forward and there were certain they saw | :27:22. | :27:24. | |
a handball before half-time. | :27:25. | :27:25. | |
Second half began with Liverpool left standing and Sevilla | :27:26. | :27:32. | |
Just over an hour gone, and the final was transformed. | :27:33. | :27:45. | |
Not the interpretation of the offside rules, | :27:46. | :27:48. | |
this was, however you see it, whether you believe it, 3-1. | :27:49. | :27:52. | |
Liverpool lost a final they had controlled, and that hurts | :27:53. | :27:55. | |
Well the fan zone behind me empty. Sevilla won this tournament three | :27:56. | :28:13. | |
years in a row. What about Jurgen Klopp, his team were off the pace in | :28:14. | :28:17. | |
the Premier League and lost in two Cup finals. He told me, you simply | :28:18. | :28:23. | |
cannot do that as manager of Liverpool and be deemed successful. | :28:24. | :28:27. | |
All right, Joe, thanks very much again. Joe Wilson there with the | :28:28. | :28:31. | |
latest on the outcome of that match there in Basel. | :28:32. | :28:37. | |
Some of the world's best composers and songwriters will be honoured | :28:38. | :28:40. | |
tomorrow at the annual Ivor Novello awards in London which celebrate | :28:41. | :28:42. | |
excellence in British and Irish songwriting and composing. | :28:43. | :28:45. | |
But behind the scenes there is another, less | :28:46. | :28:47. | |
well-known tale of success, the young British talents | :28:48. | :28:49. | |
who are writing songs for some of the biggest names | :28:50. | :28:52. | |
Colleen Harris has been talking to two of them. | :28:53. | :28:55. | |
# These four lonely walls can't change the way | :28:56. | :29:00. | |
it doesn't get much bigger than Beyonce. | :29:01. | :29:07. | |
Carla Marie Williams, a youth worker from London, | :29:08. | :29:09. | |
pursued song writing as a career, and it paid off. | :29:10. | :29:14. | |
# Nothing else had us, now you're not here, | :29:15. | :29:16. | |
When Running came out, I was in Westfield. | :29:17. | :29:19. | |
Someone was like - "wow, Beyonce's just dropped a song." | :29:20. | :29:22. | |
I was like, "it's me. Yay!" | :29:23. | :29:24. | |
Then I was like, oh, this is international now. | :29:25. | :29:29. | |
This isn't just, like, about London or anything. | :29:30. | :29:31. | |
Being British, and clearly with something to say, | :29:32. | :29:39. | |
Beyonce called on Carla Marie for her latest album, Lemonade. | :29:40. | :29:44. | |
I think definitely it's opened up other | :29:45. | :29:53. | |
doors, especially in America because I feel like they love what | :29:54. | :29:56. | |
When you listen to Freedom and you listen to Running, | :29:57. | :30:01. | |
they're different types of song to what maybe | :30:02. | :30:03. | |
Last year, British songwriters earnt more than ?500 million collectively | :30:04. | :30:09. | |
and this week some of the best will be honoured at the songwriting | :30:10. | :30:14. | |
We have fantastic music education and also we now | :30:15. | :30:20. | |
have a history of 50 or 60 years of fantastic writers, such | :30:21. | :30:24. | |
as the Beatles, David Bowie, Kate Bush, | :30:25. | :30:27. | |
All of these fantastic writers and they act | :30:28. | :30:34. | |
as role models for the next generation coming up. | :30:35. | :30:36. | |
Another Brit doing well in America is Bradford girl, Teddy Sinclair. | :30:37. | :30:40. | |
She posted a song online and caught the attention of the right people. | :30:41. | :30:44. | |
Now living in New York, she's penned songs for Madonna and, | :30:45. | :30:48. | |
# Waiting on that sunshine for I think I need that back...# | :30:49. | :30:55. | |
I feel very lucky to work with Rihanna, | :30:56. | :30:59. | |
to work with Madonna, Alicia Keys because | :31:00. | :31:04. | |
the most important feelings or thoughts or opinions I've had, | :31:05. | :31:08. | |
that I've put into music, are things that | :31:09. | :31:10. | |
they've also shared enough to believe in it when they | :31:11. | :31:13. | |
Despite their success, 80% of British songwriters are men. | :31:14. | :31:17. | |
So creating workshops for female newcomers | :31:18. | :31:20. | |
Whether or not it's about emotion, heartbreak, politics, you know, | :31:21. | :31:26. | |
always try and dig a little bit deeper. | :31:27. | :31:28. | |
Words to inspire the next generation. | :31:29. | :31:31. | |
# I'm going to keep running because a winner | :31:32. | :31:36. | |
