In 1974, bombs in two Birmingham pubs left 21 people dead | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
and more than 200 injured, one of the worst terror attacks | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
a coroner has ruled that inquests into the deaths are to be re-opened. | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
The inquests were suspended when six men were jailed for the attacks. | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
Their convictions were later quashed. | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
The coroner, Louise Hunt, said there was now new evidence | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
that the police may have missed advance warnings of the bombings. | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
West Midlands Police had opposed the re-opening of the inquests, | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
but the force's Chief Constable today welcomed | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
Our correspondent Sian Lloyd sent this report. | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
Today is... the most seismic day for all of us. | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
Julie Hambleton has campaigned for almost 42 years | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
The 18-year-old was among the 21 who died in the explosions. | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
I hope that our fathers, brothers, sisters, mothers | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
are looking down and they are proud. | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
On the 21st of November 1974, two bombs exploded at the Mulberry Bush | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
and Tavern in the Town pubs in Birmingham city centre. | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
A year later, six men were convicted. | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
The Birmingham Six, as they became known, | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
their convictions overturned by the Court of Appeal. | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
Paddy Hill was one of those men who were wrongly jailed. | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
It's the first step that's ever been taken | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
to finding out the real truth behind the Birmingham pub bombings. | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
West Midlands Police said the coroner did not have the... | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
There's too many skeletons in the cupboard. | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
They knew, they had advance warning, before the bombs went off. | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
Just what West Midlands Police knew in advance of the bombings | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
The coroner said she'd already identified two occasions | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
where chances to prevent the bombings may have been missed. | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
Louise Hunt said, "I have serious concerns that advance notice | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
of the bombs may have been available to the police and that they failed | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
to take the necessary steps to protect life." | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
"There is a wealth of evidence still available which has not | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
in the main been seen by the families or the public | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
"It is still possible for an inquest to ascertain how these 21 | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
pending the criminal trial and later police investigations. | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
The West Midlands force had argued | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
that the power to re-open them had been lost. | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
West Midlands Police in 2016 has nothing to hide. | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
The failings in 1975 of the botched investigation are the biggest | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
failing in the force's history, we don't stand aside from that. | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
The pub bombings were widely acknowledged | :05:01. | :05:01. | |
The names of a number of suspects linked to the attacks | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
were known in Republican circles and by some journalists. | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
This former senior member of the organisation believes | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
the men responsible are unlikely to face trial. | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
The only way there could be convictions would be if the men | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
walked into police stations in the UK and confessed | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
to their parts in the bombing, and that ain't going to happen. | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
You could hear the ambulances coming, | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
Maureen Mitchell survived the attack. | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
Aged 21, she was so badly injured she was given the last rites. | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
You sort of put it all behind you, and then something else | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
will come up, like all this that is happening now. | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
because that would be an end to it then. | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
It's been a long journey for the families | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
They hope they'll now get some of their questions answered. | :05:50. | :06:00. | |
I here sat Birmingham Central police station, where tonight they are | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
considering the coroner's decision. They say they do support it. | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
Evidence about how West Midlands Police responded and what they knew | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
in advance played an important part in this decision. For the families | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
certainly, it is a huge step forward, but the coroner has sounded | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
a note of caution, that the inquests may not resolve all the matters as | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
far as they are concerned. Now, details of how and when the inquest | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
will be held are expected later. We should know more over the coming | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
months. Sian, thank you, Sian Lloyd there. | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
The UK could have a fairer, more humane immigration system | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
that would work better for the economy if it left the EU. | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
That's the latest claim from the Leave campaigners. | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
They want to end the automatic right | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
for EU citizens to live and work here | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
and to accept only those of value to the economy. | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
But those campaigning to remain in the EU said such a system | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
would wreck the economy and could drive up immigration. | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
Our political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, | :06:57. | :06:57. | |
I should warn you, it contains flashing images. | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
Their biggest names, their biggest promise so far. | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
Is it not time we took back control of our immigration policy? | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
Being in the EU means people from 27 other countries can come here | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
but they want exit and an end to all that. | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
You're stitching things up, are you? Yes. | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
We've come to talk about another big stitch-up. | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
Along with the gags, outers are offering a points system | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
where all immigrants would be judged on what they can offer, | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
What we're saying is, have a system whereby | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
the UK Government has to take responsibility | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
But can you guarantee that immigration would actually | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
I think that is very, very likely, but that's up to the Government, | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
what the needs of UK business and industry were. | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
Those who are the brightest and the best, with the right | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
skills for our economy, would be welcome here, | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
and actually this would be a fairer system. | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
What your rivals say is, if we give up EU people | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
that would have a huge effect on the economy. | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
They say it would wreck the economy. I think that's obvious nonsense. | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
Look like they're starting to enjoy this campaign? | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
They're sure their promise of more controls on immigration is one | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
But maybe this referendum will come down to a choice - | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
a trade-off between tighter rules on immigration | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
and what their opponents claim would be serious damage | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
to the economy that every worker would feel. | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
In a typically low-key intervention in this noisy argument, | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
the Home Secretary said the plan just wouldn't work. | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
Well, they're calling for a points-based system, | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
like the Australians have, but if you look at the figures, | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
Australia has nearly double the level of immigration per head | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
Now, the current level of immigration is too high, | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
but there is no silver bullet - controlling immigration is hard. | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
The OECD - respected number crunchers - | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
cautioned if we leave the table, economic shockwaves might be | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
felt right around the world, and the hypothetical end | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
of EU migration has alarmed David Cameron's political friends. | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
It would be unavoidable, inevitable, for us, and | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
I think for many of us in Europe, to follow the same proposals, | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
to implement a points system in the rest of the European Union, | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
so you would get a race to the bottom. | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
Most politicians used to be squeamish about talking immigration, | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
but it's part of this campaign and his long-term gain. | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
Australia looks at what it thinks it needs to expand its country. | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
It's growing its country, so it takes more people pro rata | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
than we would, but the point about it is they can choose. | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
Outers of all stripes think there is mileage in it, | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
but as they take more and more messages around the country, | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
it doesn't feel like this is just about the referendum anymore. | :09:58. | :10:05. | |
It feels now like you are all setting out some kind | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
of alternative Tory vision for after the referendum. | :10:08. | :10:09. | |
After we vote leave on June the 23rd, it will be up | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
to the Government to take back control of not just immigration | :10:15. | :10:16. | |
policy, but obviously of huge sums of money, of our ability to set out | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
So you are setting out an alternative vision | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
for a very different sounding kind of government? | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
Priti, why don't you answer this question? | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
Just about sticking to the script - at least for now. | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
But depending on what you decide in three weeks, | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
So what impact would these plans have on UK immigration? | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
Latest figures show net migration - that's the difference | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
between the number of those arriving and the number of those leaving - | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
That includes 184,000 people from EU countries, | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
who already come in under a points-based system. | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
As we've heard, Leave campaigners want that system extended | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
But what effect would such a scheme have on employers and employees? | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
Here's our chief correspondent, Gavin Hewitt. | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
For those coming to our shores from the EU, these proposals | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
would mark a fundamental change to migration into the UK. | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
EU citizens would no longer just travel here for work. | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
They would have to pass a series of tests. | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
Some businesses, like this Bangladeshi restaurant in Kent, | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
They say they can't get the skilled chefs they want from Bangladesh | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
They want a system of migration that doesn't favour Europeans. | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
I welcome any fairer immigration policy. | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
But I believe the British immigration policy is unfair, | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
and one for the British citizen for non-European. | :12:01. | :12:10. | |
Currently, EU citizens have the automatic right | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
Non-EU citizens face a series of hurdles. | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
They have to be high-value workers with job offers, | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
EU citizens would lose their automatic right to come here. | :12:20. | :12:28. | |
awarded for needed skills, an available job, and English. | :12:29. | :12:36. | |
But some businesses are fiercely opposed to the plans. | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
This is a large lettuce farm in Kent. | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
It depends on unskilled workers from the EU - | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
100 staff, mainly migrants from Romania. | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
Without them, the business would struggle. | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
I believe in patrolling the borders and policing | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
the borders, but when it comes to the horticultural sector | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
it requires a high percentage of unskilled workers. | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
So what would happen if the unskilled workers couldn't | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
Well, we've tried in the past to recruit from the local Jobcentres | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
I would seriously worry for the future of my business. | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
This proposed points system would signify a break | :13:17. | :13:18. | |
with the principle of freedom of movement, and that would raise | :13:19. | :13:20. | |
doubts about continued access to the single market. | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
And it's far from clear what impact the system would have on | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
Points-based systems have traditionally been used to increase, | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
That said, any system that imposed new restrictions on EU citizens, | :13:35. | :13:44. | |
whether that's a points-based system or another form of selection, | :13:45. | :13:46. | |
would be expected to reduce the numbers | :13:47. | :13:48. | |
There was not much detail in today's proposal, | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
but the Leave campaign believes promises to restore control over | :13:52. | :13:53. | |
Our deputy political editor, John Pienaar, is in Westminster. | :13:54. | :14:09. | |
John, a big focus on the Leave campaign today, what sort of shape | :14:10. | :14:17. | |
is it in? We have seen how the Leave site have been playing what they see | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
as their trump card of migration control. The opinion polls suggested | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
may all be to play for. Both sides are telling me that the Leave side | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
has the stronger ground campaign, the door knockers to get the vote | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
out, and they are daring to dream. Look at the way David Cameron has | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
had to listen to Cabinet colleagues setting up what looks like an | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
alternative manifesto outside the EU. That may be tough for him to | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
hear. A big vote to remain would be his biggest win and his biggest | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
gamble. A narrow vote to stay, he could be a lame duck. To leave, he | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
would be a dead one. How is the Remain camp reacting to the fact | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
that Leave is the focus today? Well, the Remain side may feel they have | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
the best of it, some of the campaigners do sound a little | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
nervous, though, they feel they are on top of the crossfire of sound | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
bites on the bulletins. We have had the Spanish president warning | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
against a vote to leave the EU, the president of the EU council trying | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
to settle there is of a threat to British sovereignty by saying that | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
integration is a utopian dream, so that effort is also being made. | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
There is a long way to go, and we have seen that as far as they are | :15:33. | :15:42. | |
concerned, they win the economic argument with George Osborne, the | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
Chancellor, writing directly to the Leave side, challenging them to set | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
up that is a British trade outside the EU. But look at the opinion | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
polls, look at the money going down and the bookmakers, and it is a | :15:51. | :15:52. | |
brave punter who will vote on the outcome -- bet on the outcome. | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
There's more analysis of the facts behind the claims | :15:58. | :15:59. | |
on both sides of the referendum debate on the BBC website. | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
A brief look at some of the day's other news stories. | :16:03. | :16:12. | |
Activists in northern Syria say armed groups, backed by the US, | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
have opened up a new front against positions held by so-called | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
Islamic State in a crucial swathe of territory adjoining | :16:19. | :16:20. | |
The offensive, by a Kurdish-led alliance, is directed at an area | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
The aim is to cut IS access to Turkish border areas, | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
which the jihadists have long used to bring foreign | :16:33. | :16:34. | |
The US presidential hopeful, Donald Trump, is to visit Scotland | :16:35. | :16:45. | |
later this month for the official reopening of his Trump | :16:46. | :16:47. | |
Turnberry golf course, which he bought in 2014. | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
The man expected to become the Republican nominee will attend | :16:50. | :16:51. | |
a ceremonial ribbon-cutting on the 24th June 24th - | :16:52. | :17:00. | |
Police in Kent, investigating an alleged breach of spending rules | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
by the Conservative Party in last year's general election, | :17:05. | :17:06. | |
have been given more time to complete their enquiries. | :17:07. | :17:08. | |
They now have an additional 12 months to examine spending | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
in the Thanet South constituency following a successful | :17:13. | :17:14. | |
17 police forces have received or applied for extensions | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
to investigate whether expenses generated by activists on a campaign | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
A former Sunday school teacher, considered to be one of Britain's | :17:23. | :17:33. | |
most prolific paedophiles, is facing a life sentence | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
for a catalogue of abuse against children in Malaysia. | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
Richard Huckle, who's 30 and from Ashford in Kent, | :17:41. | :17:42. | |
He posted thousands of pictures and videos of his victims | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
on an encrypted part of the internet. | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
Our correspondent, Angus Crawford, reports. | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
He was a Sunday school teacher, a friend to their families | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
Richard Huckle sought out children in the poorest | :18:02. | :18:10. | |
He took them on days out, bought them food, gained their trust. | :18:11. | :18:21. | |
But it's also the way he got close to this girl, | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
He took videos of me naked and I told him I wanted | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
I didn't realise what he was doing because I was only three years old. | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
I don't want him to come back to Malaysia. | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
He targeted the vulnerable, getting to know them, | :18:44. | :18:52. | |
staying in the slums for days on end. | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
Huckle was often at this woman's home, she suspected nothing, | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
but she says when her granddaughter was just 12 he asked | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
Here he is in a promotional video for the British Council. | :19:06. | :19:19. | |
He went to charities and orphanages where he helped out | :19:20. | :19:21. | |
We can't show the other entries, that day he brought one | :19:22. | :19:33. | |
A pattern emerged - days out, always with a camera, | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
the children called him 'uncle', but all too often it was | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
All that was captured on film, tens of thousands | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
He then posted them in secret forums on the so-called 'dark web'. | :19:51. | :20:03. | |
Huckle also wrote a self-help guide for other would-be abusers called, | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
It's not often that you get intimate access inside a police sting that | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
He was finally identified by police in Australia, | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
in one of the biggest ever investigations into sex offenders | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
Paul Griffiths is a former British detective, now | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
How great a danger did he pose to children? | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
If he hadn't been arrested, if he hadn't of been | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
taken out of circulation, then he would still be offending | :20:36. | :20:37. | |
And, he certainly struck me as the kind of person | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
who would make the most of any opportunity that arose. | :20:42. | :20:43. | |
So if he had the opportunity to offend against a child, | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
Huckle's victims are left traumatised. | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
Abused by a man who said he'd come to help them. | :20:53. | :20:54. | |
He used his faith to seek them out and then betrayed them. | :20:55. | :21:02. | |
He's pleaded guilty, but there are still many other | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
I think there are two really significant questions. Both of those | :21:07. | :21:13. | |
are for the National Crime Agency. Britain's National Crime Agency. The | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
first is, how much other unidentified victims are there out | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
there? We know that Huckle travelled widely of he came back to this | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
country. He had access to children and he attended churches. The second | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
question equally important is - how many other offenders are there out | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
there, uncaught, directed connected to him? The NCA says it knows of | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
none. I've learnt from that Australian unit you saw in the | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
report that identified Huckle on the so-called dark net that it | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
identified other British offendersers, perhaps 20 or 30. It | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
passed that information on to the National Crime Agency. I spoke to | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
the Agency tonight it says that it always investigates all such | :21:56. | :21:56. | |
intelligence. OK, Angus, thank you. French search teams | :21:57. | :22:07. | |
in the Mediterranean have confirmed that they've detected signals | :22:08. | :22:09. | |
from a black box data recorder from the EgyptAir flight | :22:10. | :22:11. | |
which crashed two weeks ago. It's expected to provide vital | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
information on why the Airbus A320, from Paris to Cairo, | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
went down off the Egyptian coast, Our correspondent, Orla Guerin, | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
reports from Cairo. After less than 24-hours | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
in the water, this acoustic probe picked up a signal from one | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
of the plane's black boxes. Experts on this French naval vessel | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
say this is the first step. If the flight recorders are found | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
intact, the next challenge will be Two weeks on, relatives of the 66 | :22:41. | :22:43. | |

was it sabotage or The crash has caused a sense | :23:02. | :23:03. | |
of loss acrosses Egypt. The grief is compounded | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
by the unanswered questions. It's still unclear what caused | :23:08. | :23:09. | |
EgyptAir flight 804 If this was an act of terrorism, | :23:10. | :23:11. | |
no group has claimed responsibility. Since the disaster, people here have | :23:12. | :23:20. | |
been mourning for the victims and worrying about the impact | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
of this latest blow to Egypt. For staff at the national airline, | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
the pain is personal. They're our colleagues, | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
brothers and sisters. The anguish in Egypt | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
is echoed in France, French officials here say Paris | :23:36. | :23:49. | |
and Cairo are working closely together and the mystery of flight | :23:50. | :23:57. | |
804 will be solved. I am, myself, I'm very | :23:58. | :24:15. | |
confident that, in the end, we will know the truth | :24:16. | :24:17. | |
about what happened. One should be very cautious and not | :24:18. | :24:19. | |
jump to any conclusions so far. I think that all options | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
are still open. The bereaved are now looking | :24:23. | :24:24. | |
to the black boxes, hoping they will shed light | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
on the disaster that unfolded, Germany has set out plans today | :24:28. | :24:29. | |
for anti-terrorism reforms, including closer secret service | :24:30. | :24:41. | |

there will be more. Now, Berlin worries | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
it could be next. Germany's intelligence chief told me | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
the danger is acute. TRANSLATION: An attack can | :25:16. | :25:18. | |

authorities say they've kept the small radical Islamist scene | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
here under tight control, but with the sudden arrival last | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
year of tens of thousands of young Muslim men, | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
there's concern here about parallel societies springing up | :25:45. | :25:50. | |

identity to protect his family TRANSLATION: Two guys stopped me | :26:05. | :26:08. | |

documents in Britain have been discovered in the heart | :28:46. | :28:49. | |
of the City of London. More than 400 Roman tablets, | :28:50. | :28:52. | |
which were used for correspondence and as legal documents, | :28:53. | :28:54. | |
were unearthed in an archaeological dig just yards from | :28:55. | :28:59. | |
the Bank of England. It's just a tiny piece of wood, | :29:00. | :29:00. | |

temple have been uncovered near the Mansion House | :29:53. | :29:55. | |

of London's ancient past. 50 years on, another redevelopment | :30:15. | :30:16. | |
has allowed a second dig. Thousands of artefacts including | :30:17. | :30:18. | |
the writing tablets. The Romans wrote by scratching words | :30:19. | :30:22. | |
into wax and, occasionally, they scratched too deeply, | :30:23. | :30:24. | |
and they left marks in the wood. It has taken hours of work | :30:25. | :30:27. | |
to decipher the marks "Per forum totum", through the whole | :30:28. | :30:29. | |
marketplace, "reantur"... It seems to be an ill-judged | :30:30. | :30:34. | |
investment, the first bad loan in the history | :30:35. | :30:40. | |
of the City of London. Some of those tablets appear to be | :30:41. | :30:43. | |
legal documents, so it's possibly the first building we can identify | :30:44. | :30:53. | |
