Tonight at 10 - there'll be no official inquiry into the most | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
violent episode of the miners' strike at Orgreave 32 years ago. | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
Campaigners insist that South Yorkshire Police lied | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
about the events at Orgreave, but the Home Secretary says | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
there is no justification for a public inquiry. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
There were no miscarriages of justice, there were no deaths, | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
There was anger at Westminster among campaigners who'd been expecting | :00:29. | :00:36. | |
a very different outcome, and they promised to | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
Aren't we right in concluding that the establishment stitch-up | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
that she has just announced today, is nothing more | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
We'll have the detail and reaction as the campaigners insist | :00:48. | :00:54. | |

Jim Crowley and Freddy Tylicki, who suffer what are believed to be | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
serious injuries in a fall at Kempton Park this afternoon. | :01:59. | :02:20. | |
There will be no public inquiry into the violent clashes | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
between police and striking miners at Orgreave in 1984. | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
The decision, by the Home Secretary Amber Rudd, has provoked | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
a furious response from campaigners who say it's an "establishment | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
They have consistently accused South Yorkshire Police | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
of using excessive force at Orgreave and of telling lies. | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
Dozens of striking miners were put on trial but the cases collapsed. | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
The Home Secretary said she'd made the decision because there had been | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
no deaths or wrongful convictions - as our political editor | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
Horses, batons, beatings. Orgreave was a battle between thousands of | :02:58. | :03:19. | |
miers on strike and thousands of police, but there will be no | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
inquiry, Noel Hunt for more truth, no new explanation. -- miners on | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
strike. One of the miners there on that day just can't understand why. | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
The things I saw that day, I wake up sweating sometimes in the night, | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
when my mind wanders onto it... And that's why I joined this campaign, | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
to get justice and there's been no justice today. Why would an inquiry | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
make such a difference to you? Because we could say, we could say, | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
we told you so. What we told you happen that day did happen. 95 | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
miners were charged before their cases collapsed, amid suspicions of | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
brutality and cover up in the same police force at Hillsborough, | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
campaigners believed an inquiry was coming. Amber Rudd told all of you, | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
that there would be an inquiry, the only question was what kind. Her | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
exact words were she had to decide what format it would take. It wasn't | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
a question for us of whether or not it would happen, it would be in what | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
form it would take. She said the culture had changed down the light | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
needed to be shone. The Home Secretary denies any promise but her | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
decision met here. I have concluded that there is no case for either a | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
statutory inquiry or an independent review. In this situation, in | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
Orgreave, there were no miscarriages of justice, there were no deaths, | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
there were no convictions. The Right Honourable lady should be aware, | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
therefore it doesn't merit the same level of status as a public inquiry | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
as was required for Hillsborough. Aren't we right in concluding the | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
establishment stitch up that she has just announced today is nothing more | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
than a nakedly political act? This is an astonishing and frankly | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
shameful decision by the government. The government have read those | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
families up the garden path for the last two years. Whilst public | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
enquiries can be successful, too often they cost huge amounts of | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
money, take many years and don't even answer the questions | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
thereafter. But Labour has vowed to keep pushing and keep promising an | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
inquiry one day. I'm astonished, absolutely astonished. When Theresa | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
May with Home Secretary she encouraged the families to write for | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
an inquiry. They may have taken a view if they refuse to have it will | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
go away, but sadly for them it won't. Look at the Hillsborough | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
campaign, look at earlier campaigns in Birmingham and Guilford, the | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
determination of people to get justice never goes away. Yet it is a | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
straightforward game in politics to call for an inquiry. One minister | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
said the hard thing is saying no, but in this case the Home Office | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
concluded an inquiry with its possible costs and complications | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
just wasn't worthwhile. Enquiries don't erase memories. Those that | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
could hardly believe their eyes then and had to believe them now. | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
Our correspondent Dan Johnson is in Orgreave tonight. | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
We have heard already from some of the campaign at Westminster today. | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
What have the local community been saying to you there? | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
I have heard tonight from one of the campaigners here who said this is | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
not over. The campaigners will have a meeting tomorrow to decide what | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
their next move is. When the miners were chased up this field 32 years | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
ago by police on horseback with functions and dogs they felt they | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
were the victims of an abuse of state power. They claimed there was | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
brutality, wrongful arrests and an attempt to frame them for serious | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
offences. We've heard stories of retired police officers, all of them | :07:13. | :07:45. | |
retired of course, will be pleased with this decision today. But for | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
the miners, Orgreave and what happened here, this campaign became | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
symbolic of everything they lost. It was a turning point in their strike. | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
They lost it and thousands of jobs with it. Many would say trade union | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
power has never same the mining communities have been abandoned and | :07:56. | :07:57. | |
left behind. But one thing is for sure, the communities around here, | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
the many feel the mining communities have been abandoned and left behind. | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
But one thing is for sure, the communities former mining villages | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
will not forget the Battle of Orgreave. Thank you. | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
President Obama has let it be known that he does not | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
believe the FBI director, James Comey, | :08:17. | :08:17. | |
is trying to influence the outcome of the presidential election. | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
Democrats have strongly criticised Mr Comey, | :08:21. | :08:21. | |
after he announced the FBI was investigating more material | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
that might relate to Hillary Clinton's use of unofficial e-mails | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
But as our North America editor Jon Sopel reports, | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
the latest allegations seem to have given Donald Trump's campaign | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
a new energy, with just eight days to go. | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
Hillary Clinton was in Cleveland today trying to look relaxed in a | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
soul food cafe, but has is a troubled soul after the intervention | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
of the FBI last Friday, when the director announced his new | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
investigation. At a rally she gave vent to her frustration. Why in the | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
world the FBI would decide to jump into an Hillary Clinton was in | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
Cleveland today trying to look relaxed in a soul food cafe, but | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
hers is a troubled soul after the intervention of the FBI last Friday, | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
when the director announced his new investigation. At a rally she gave | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
vent to her frustration. Why in the world the FBI would decide to jump | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
into an election evidence of any wrongdoing, with just days I'm not | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
making excuses, and I regret it. Now they apparently want to look at it | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
was a mistake and I regret it. Now they apparently want to look did of | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
one of my staff. I'm sure they will reach the same conclusion they did | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
when change the mind of her staunch supporters lining up to see her but | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
it might affect independents. The White House wouldn't condemn what | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
the FBI did but isn't this very nuanced comment from the President's | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
spokesperson about how the Department of Justice should behave | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
this close to an election. It's important in the mind of the | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
president that those authorities are tempered by at my e-mails for the | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
last year, there is no case here. It won't change the mind of her staunch | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
supporters lining up to see her but it might affect independents. The | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
White House wouldn't condemn what the FBI did but isn't this very | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
nuanced comment from the President's spokesperson about how the | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
Department of Justice should behave this close to an election. It's | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
important in the mind of the President that those authorities are | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
tempered by an adherence to long-standing and the president and | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
the President believes it is guidelines to be followed. And why | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
would you stress that unless you think they might have breached | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
conventional norms? While in office Hillary Clinton relied on a private | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
e-mail account on her own server, sending thousands of messages both | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
personal and government related. The FBI said that was negligent but | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
didn't press charges. Now, in a separate case involving one of the | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
estranged husband of her close aide, more e-mails have come to light and | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
the FBI has reopened its investigation. But that in itself is | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
proving controversial. It's not normal for the FBI to comment on an | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
ongoing investigation and some Democrats now say the director James | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
Cornick dill me might have broken the law which prevents federal | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
enforcement officers seeking to influence the outcome of an | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
election. Tonight is the night of carved pumpkins as Americans are a | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
great Halloween but tonight Hillary Clinton feels she's been tricked, | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
while the FBI has given Donald Trump his biggest treat. The Trump | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
campaign has never been known for its calm or Serenity Douglas to the | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
raw nurse a sense of euphoria at the moment, because these people here | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
and the Trump campaign believes that the FBI's intervention could be a | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
game changer. I think more people will come on the Trump train. The | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
impact should be the independents. I think they go back and forth | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
depending on the scandal of the moment. Have to give the FBI credit, | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
that was so bad what happened originally, and it took guts for the | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
director to make the movie made in light of the opposition he had, | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
where they are trying to protect her from criminal prosecution. It's too | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
soon to say what the impact of the FBI intervention will be, but listen | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
to Donald Trump, all the talk last week of this being rigged election | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
has gone. He has fresh believe he can will win. It is a very noisy | :11:50. | :11:57. | |
hall here in Detroit where Donald Trump has just finished speaking. | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
The Department of Justice in the past few moments have issued a | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
statement to Congress saying they will work with the FBI as closely as | :12:04. | :12:11. | |
possible, that they will give all resources on workers judiciously as | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
possible. What we don't know is whether we will get any kind of | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
verdict before or after the election, but one very important | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
footnote to add is the Democrats are awaiting the next set of polls with | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
extreme anxiety, and just as the Trump camp are looking forward to | :12:30. | :12:30. | |
them. Back to you. Thank you very much. | :12:31. | :12:38. | |

Mark Carney has announced he will stay in post as governor | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
of the Bank of England until the end of June 2019. | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
Mr Carney - who met Theresa May today at Number Ten - | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
had been facing calls from prominent Conservatives for him to stand down, | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
following his warnings about the potential impact of Brexit. | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
Mr Carney's departure in 2019 is one year beyond his current term, | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
but means he will not stay on for a full eight-year term. | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
We can discuss this with Simon Jack. A word first of all about the | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
decision on the way it was made. The first important thing to say what it | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
was his decision. He arrived as a surprise superstar for signing in | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
football terms, that George Osborne appointed. At first everyone thought | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
he was great, he seemed to charm just about everyone to stop as the | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
referendum approached, which had been called when he was first tired, | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
he angered some. Some thought he was getting too political by half by | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
warnings of an economic shock that might happen. They thought he was | :13:59. | :14:00. | |
overstepping his brief. At that point people thought, he said the | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
pound would fall and he was right about that, he warned of an economic | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
shock that hasn't materialised yet, then he cut interest rates just | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
after the which Theresa May criticised in a conference speech, | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
saying that hurt savers. A lot of people thinking some testy exchanges | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
between some of the Brexiteers and him. He said he will see out his | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
term until 2019 and that's enough for him. The end of June 20 19. What | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
does that mean, in terms of that Brexit timetable? Crucially if we | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
trigger Article 50 by the end of March 2017, that takes us to march | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
2019, so it sees us through group. He will see it through to the end of | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
that particular process. If you like him or loathe him, most people think | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
losing your central bank chief in a process as immense as that is not | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
ideal. He's clearly decided that the UK need him for one more year. After | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
Theresa May backed him saying he was the right man for the job, he says | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
he will stay on. His family are still going back to Canada in 2018. | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
He says he has unfinished business here and will stick around until | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
2019. Thank you. Simon Jack, our business editor. | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
Iraqi Special Forces trying to drive so-called Islamic State | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
from its stronghold in the city of Mosul, have advanced | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
to the eastern outskirts of the city. | :15:26. | :15:26. | |
The campaign - now in its third week - involves hundreds of troops | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
in heavily-armoured vehicles all supported | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
Our international correspondent Ian Pannell and cameraman | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
Darren Conway are travelling with the Iraqi Special Forces | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
This battle isn't just for one city, but an entire nation. | :15:41. | :15:51. | |
Iraq is a country shattered and shocked by years of civil war. | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
Many expect of these troops to pause, to wait for other | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
fighters on other fronts, but that's not what happened today. | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
As we joined Iraqi counterterrorism forces, moving to the last town | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
between them and so-called Islamic State. | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
Well, the armoured column, as you can see, has now | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
moved out into desert, in what they call a flanking | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
manoeuvre, in other words just going round the town of Bazwaya, | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
We are in the lead vehicles here with | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
the commander of counterterrorism forces. | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
Over there is the town of Bazwaya where | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
they are going to try to get to, and if they manage to get | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
through that then they will manage to move on | :16:41. | :16:42. | |
even further towards their main target. | :16:43. | :16:43. | |
Over the weekend these men were attacked by the militants. | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
In the confusion of battle they lost more than a dozen of their comrades. | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
Taking the fight back to Isis, and the closer they get, | :16:51. | :17:01. | |
After more than two years it feels this conflict is moving | :17:02. | :17:16. | |
The counterterrorism unit have just advanced | :17:17. | :17:44. | |
They just opened attack on what they think are IS positions, | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
we've just been told to get back into the vehicles. | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
They have another unit coming from the other side of the town. | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
There is also a fighter jet overhead trying to give some cover, | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
as you would expect, it's a very confused | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
Many thought the town was abandoned to the fighters, | :17:58. | :18:05. | |
but from behind closed doors, on walls and along alleyways, dozens | :18:06. | :18:07. | |
They've been trapped between warring parties here for years, | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
We liberated the land and the people. | :18:15. | :18:28. | |
And finally, there on the horizon, less than a mile away, is | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
the heart of the self-declared caliphate of Islamic State. | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
TRANSLATION: We are very, very close to Mosul. | :18:39. | :18:40. | |
We have run out of time today but tomorrow | :18:41. | :18:42. | |
the Iraqi people and the world will celebrate its liberation. | :18:43. | :18:49. | |

Ian Pannell, BBC News, just outside Mosul. | :19:32. | :19:45. | |
A lorry driver has been jailed for 10 years for killing | :19:46. | :19:47. | |
a mother and three children, because he was looking | :19:48. | :19:49. | |
at his mobile phone while travelling at 50 miles an hour. | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
The judge said that Tomasz Kroker might as well have had | :19:54. | :19:55. | |
his eyes closed when he crashed into stationary traffic | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
The family said the 10-year sentence was insufficient for a crime | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
which - they said - had caused so much suffering and destruction, | :20:04. | :20:06. | |

The precious moments of a family life which no longer exists. Here, | :20:21. | :20:28. | |
Ethan, Josh and their sister Aimee, the three children who died in the | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
crash. They died with their mother Tracey, at the end of what had been | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
a family holiday. They were killed by this man, Tomasz Kroker, seen | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
here on his mobile phone moments before the crash. Cameras in his | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
lorry show him scroll through his music for up to 45 seconds, before | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
he hit a queue of stationary traffic. Tomasz Kroker can be seen | :20:53. | :21:01. | |
in the hooded top moments after the crash. Tracy's Mark was in the Silva | :21:02. | :21:09. | |
estate which shunted the vehicle under the lorry. We pulled up behind | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
some lorries just crawling along. And then that was it. Bank. | :21:16. | :21:23. | |
I looked down at his car and I couldn't believe it. The crash | :21:24. | :21:36. | |
happened on the A34 in Berkshire. The judge said it was as if Tomasz | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
Kroker had been driving with his eyes closed. Aimee's birth mother | :21:42. | :21:49. | |
said driving with a mobile phone had tragic consequences. His use of a | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
mobile phone while driving turned the lorry into a lethal weapon. It | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
only takes a second of distraction to kill someone, destroying your | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
life, your family's lives and those of your victim and their family. The | :22:03. | :22:09. | |
law in this area is clear. It is illegal to use mobile phones while | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
driving are traffic lights or while queueing. But you can use them if | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
parked or making a 999 emergency call. Hands-free sets are also | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
allowed, but if police EU distracted, they can stop and | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
penalised you. The RAC said today mobile phones played a part in more | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
than 400 accidents last year, in which 22 people died. The government | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
has already announced it plans to double the penalties for using a | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
mobile phone. In future, motorists could face a ?200 fine and six | :22:45. | :22:51. | |
points on their licence. Tomasz Kroker was today jailed for a total | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
of ten years after he admitted dangerous driving. His victims' | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
family say their deaths could have been avoided and has left them | :23:01. | :23:02. | |
arrest. -- the rest. The jockeys Jim Crowley | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
and Freddy Tylicki have been taken to hospital with suspected spinal | :23:10. | :23:11. | |
injuries, after four horses fell The horses were not reported | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
to be seriously injured. Fellow riders Steve Drowne | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
and Ted Durcan also fell but were able to walk | :23:19. | :23:20. | |
off the course. The Labour MP Keith Vaz has been | :23:21. | :23:35. | |
elected to the labour Justice committee after he was forced to | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
step down from the home affairs select committee. Mr Vaz left his | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
position after newspaper allegations that he had paid for the services of | :23:44. | :23:46. | |

to Scotland's Officials in Glasgow have approved - | :24:04. | :24:05. | |
in principle - a controversial plan to set up the UK's first so-called | :24:06. | :24:16. | |
"consumption rooms", where drug addicts can inject | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
heroin and also smoke the drug The scheme aims to address | :24:21. | :24:22. | |
the problems caused by an estimated 500 users, who inject | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
on the streets of Glasgow. Our social affairs correspondent | :24:28. | :24:29. | |
Michael Buchanan has the story. We came to this wasteland | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
to see the remnants The necessary tools of an heroin | :24:35. | :24:36. | |
addiction strewn far and wide. Up to 500 people inject heroin | :24:37. | :24:44. | |
in public in Glasgow. Within minutes, we'd been joined | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
by two of them. They'd come for their | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
first hit of the day. Moments later I watched | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
as the heroin kicked in. With such problems, plans are afoot | :24:59. | :25:15. | |
to open the UK's first consumption centre, a clinic where addicts can | :25:16. | :25:25. | |
safely take their drugs. Safe injecting rooms | :25:26. | :25:27. | |
would save a lot of lives. Coming to places like this, | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
as you can see, it's certainly You come round here at night time, | :25:32. | :25:33. | |
there's no guarantee you're Drug-related deaths are at record | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
levels across Britain, and experts said a spike in new HIV | :25:40. | :25:47. | |
infections in Glasgow last year was mainly due to heroin | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
users sharing needles. But it's also an issue | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
of public safety. This neighbourhood has had to live | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
with the dangers of used needles She went to put her baby | :26:03. | :26:05. | |

in the kid's pram. This is a safe consumption | :26:12. | :26:21. | |
room in Denmark. Needles are clean and kept on-site, | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
protecting both users Glasgow's drug services | :26:27. | :26:34. | |
are highly regarded, but officials believe more is needed | :26:35. | :26:41. | |
to help street users. One option would see addicts | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
bring their own drugs to the clinic and hopefully engage | :26:45. | :26:46. | |
with other services. We know that a lot of people that | :26:47. | :26:48. | |
are in this situation are homeless, have mental and physical health | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
problems, so it's not just teaching This pharmacy highlights | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
the drug problem. It has a separate entrance | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
for users of methadone, But opening consumption rooms | :27:03. | :27:05. | |
will not reduce demand, It's effectively legalising drugs | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
and providing people with easier It's promoted, I think, | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
by people who in many instances have given up on the idea of recovery, | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
and their most convincing and persuasive suggestion | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
is to enable people to use illegal That is not how Scotland should be | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
tackling its drug problem. Heroin addiction has ravaged | :27:27. | :27:33. | |

Glasgow. Hundreds of works of art, | :27:42. | :27:48. | |
from David Bowie's personal collection, are to go on display | :27:49. | :27:50. | |
at Sotheby's in London from tomorrow, ahead of an auction | :27:51. | :27:53. | |
in a few weeks' time. Bowie was actively involved in art | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
throughout his career, as an artist himself, | :27:58. | :27:59. | |
as a writer, The exhibition includes work | :28:00. | :28:02. | |
from some of the 20th century's Our arts editor Will Gompertz has | :28:03. | :28:07. | |
had an exclusive preview. David Bowie made this | :28:08. | :28:19. | |
painting with Damien Hirst, who described the singer | :28:20. | :28:22. | |
as "childish and childlike One of the star attractions | :28:23. | :28:25. | |

entire collection of art. I'm not a buyer of things, | :28:38. | :28:39. | |
I think the only thing I buy addictively and obsessively, | :28:40. | :28:43. | |
probably, is art. The sale is extensive in both | :28:44. | :28:48. | |
content and style. There's pop art, German | :28:49. | :28:57. | |
Expressionism, British Modernism, a Tintoretto, some Picasso | :28:58. | :29:02. | |
pottery and a chess set So Beth, 350 works, what do | :29:03. | :29:04. | |
they tell us about the collector? They tell us an awful lot | :29:05. | :29:12. | |
about David's way of thinking, how A very particular world, | :29:13. | :29:14. | |
his recent history. A lot of works in the collection | :29:15. | :29:21. | |
are modern British, painting and sculpture, | :29:22. | :29:26. | |
and, of course, he was a A lot of the art was made around | :29:27. | :29:28. | |
that period, or the period So David used the collection | :29:29. | :29:34. | |
to understand his place It is largely a mid-20th century | :29:35. | :29:39. | |
take on British life, of city living, landscapes | :29:40. | :29:43. | |
and coastal scenes, all of which might seem | :29:44. | :29:47. | |
quite conservative for a man with a reputation | :29:48. | :29:49. | |
as an avant-garde performer. He acquired much of it | :29:50. | :29:53. | |
in the mid-90s, with the help He was the most remarkable man | :29:54. | :29:55. | |
to work with. He was deeply invested | :29:56. | :30:04. | |
in what he was doing. His focus was exhausting | :30:05. | :30:07. | |
and all encompassing, and when he was on subject, | :30:08. | :30:10. | |
on the subject of buying modern British pictures, | :30:11. | :30:12. | |
he was incredibly intense. I think you see the intensity | :30:13. | :30:17. | |
with some of the selections OK, but which one of those | :30:18. | :30:19. | |
on sale was his favourite? He very famously talked | :30:20. | :30:25. | |
about the Auerbach, and that's David talked about how this work | :30:26. | :30:28. | |
could change the way he felt If he was feeling joyous that | :30:29. | :30:34. | |
morning he said, hey, yes, I want to sound | :30:35. | :30:39. | |
like that painting looks. Several of these poppy post modern | :30:40. | :30:48. | |
pieces from Bowie's collection are priced in the low hundreds | :30:49. | :30:51. | |
of pounds, tantalising for some, maybe, but then that's the auction | :30:52. | :30:54. | |
