Tributes are paid to David Coleman, described as one of the country's | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
greatest ever broadcasters. He's died at the age of 87. Gunnell leads | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
and goes for it. The face and voice of BBC Sport for more than 40 years, | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
he was credited as setting the standard for the way sport's been | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
covered. They killed my baby. They killed | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
him. It's a many you are dear. The mother of a British surgeon -- It's | :00:32. | :00:34. | |

25 years since the Lockerbie bombing in which 270 people lost their | :00:50. | :00:50. | |
lives. Very good evening to you. Tributes | :00:51. | :01:13. | |
have been pouring in for David Coleman, the veteran TV broadcaster | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
who has died at the age of 87. For almost half a century he brought | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
some of the biggest sporting occasions into our living rooms, | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
covering 11 summer Olympic Games and six football world cups. Brendan | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
Foster said Coleman was the greatest sports broadcaster that ever lived. | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
David Bond looks back at his life. And Coe gets the revenge he wants. | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
It's Linford Christie. It's voice was instantly recognisable and for | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
nearly five decades, the accompaniment to British sport's | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
greatest moments. Good evening and welcome... David Coleman arrived at | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
the BBC in the 1950s. He soon rose to prominence as the anchor of the | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
pioneering Grandstand, delivering major sporting occasions into | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
people's living rooms every weekend. On the programme today rkts we have | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
every one -- today, we have every one of the top international | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
swimmers. Just as technology was reshaping TV, so Coleman's informed, | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
but less formal style, helped to move sport broadcasting into a new | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
era. He was the lead commentator on Match of the Day. Can he do it? He | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
surely must. The first season I was there and for two or three years | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
afterwards, he was the number one football commentator, the number one | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
athletics commentator, the presenter of Match of the Day and the | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
presenter of Sportsnight. He did everything. But athletics was his | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
greatest love. His Olympic comen tears became -- commentaries became | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
legendary. Coleman's talents extended beyond sports reporter and | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
in 1972, he anchored the unfolding horrors of the terrorist siege in | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
the Olympic Village in Munich. There was some shooting. The other detail | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
added since then, when they did arrive, there appeared to be six to | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
eight minutes of shooting, then everything went quiet. Apparently | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
there's been some shooting since. Could provide a lighter touch when | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
needed. For years he fronted the sports quiz A Question of Sport. We | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
used to record two programmes every other Sunday. We used to meet at | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
lunch Times. We had the tradition we would sit down for Sunday lunch, | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. David would sit at the head of the | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
table and debate the previous day's play. Despite his fame, he never | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
enjoyed the limelight. He closely guarded his and his family's | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
privacy. He was also prone to the odd gaffe, Private Eye named their | :03:58. | :04:06. | |
Colemanballs column after him. David Coleman could not be emulated, he | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
was quite simply, the voice of sport. | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
The legendary sports broadcaster, David Coleman, who has died, aged | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
87. The body of a British surgeon, who | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
died in a Syrian prison, has been handed over to his family in | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
Lebanon. Dr Abbas Khan was within days of being released when Syrian | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
authorities say he committed suicide, a claim his family don't | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
believe. Speaking after she saw his body, Fatima Khan has accused the | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
Syrian government has killed her baby. | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
Fatima Khan insisted on going to the hospital today. Hard as it is for a | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
mother to receive her son's body. This was the day Fatima expected to | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
bring Abbas home, after he spent 13 months in Syrian jails. She'd been | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
told he would be freed. Instead, he left Syria in a coffin. They killed | :05:05. | :05:17. | |
my baby. They killed him. It's a murder. The Syrian government says | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
Abbas killed himself in prison. The British surgeon went to work in a | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
hospital in an area controlled by the rebels. They arrested him for | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
entering Syria illegally. It was his profession to give life, not to take | :05:33. | :05:40. | |
life. He can't kill an ant even. He was so good. How can they kill | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
humanitarian aid worker. Fatima spent five months in Damascus trying | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
to free her son. She filmed this on her phone. She visited the prison as | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
often as they let her. She swept the floor at a Muslim shrine because she | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
was told it would bring her luck. She wrote lots of letters, including | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
this one to David Cameron. Everyone in the family did. Even Abbas' | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
six-year-old daughter, she wrote to William Hague. "Please help our dad | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
to come back home, because we miss him too much. We cry every day." His | :06:18. | :06:26. | |
two children had been excitedly preparing for their father's home | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
coming. They'd even decorated the house. Now they know he's not coming | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
home ever. The family says their government failed them. The Foreign | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
Office says they did what they could. The Foreign Office's approach | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
from the beginning has been one of procrastination, inept you'd and -- | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
ineptitu did he and a disregard for my brother's welfare. How can it be | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
that a 57-year-old Indian housewife from Britain managed to knock so | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
many doors and get so many answers? A British doctor's death in Syria is | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
a very political story. But today, it's about a mother's loss. | :07:10. | :07:17. | |
Four American servicemen on a mission to evacuate US citizens in | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
south sue dawn have been injured -- Sudan have been injured after their | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
aircraft was hit near the town of Bor. The south Sudanese army is | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
sending more troops to the town in an attempt to retake it. More than | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
500 people have died since Sunday, when the president accused his | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
former deputy of plotting a coup. The head of the NHS watchdog the | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
Care Quality Commission has criticised the effect of a target | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
culture in the NHS, particularly in Accident Emergency departments. | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
David Prior also said the Health Service had become too powerful to | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
criticise, with even the most senior staff afraid to speak out. | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
The UK, US and Libyan governments have vowed to work together to | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
reveal the full facts of the Lockerbie bombing, which claimed 270 | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
lives. The announcement came in a joint statement as memorial events | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
were held on the 25th anniversary of the tragedy. | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
A quarter of a century on, there is much that we do not know about the | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
Lockerbie bombing, but it's a mark of how the world has changed that | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
Libya today pledged to work with the West to try to find some of the | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
answers. Today, though, here in Lockerbie, the focus was not on | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
politics, but on something much more personal. | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
The 21 st December, 1988, the shortest day of the year and for | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
Lockerbie, the longest and darkest night. 25 years on, those who are | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
learning about Lockerbie only now gathered here with those who will | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
never forget. The grief was undimmed, the bonds unbroken. We | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
welcome you, once again, to this place and in doing so, we seek to | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
comfort and console you, to offer what healing we can in the touch of | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
friendship from those who have also experienced suffering. And the | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
suffering spans the globe. Raymond Pagnucco was just 13 when his father | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
Robert was murdered here. I still miss my dad every day. I learned a | :09:33. | :09:41. | |
lot from my father. I have plenty of good memories. That keeps me going. | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
Did you take any comfort from today's service? Yes, I did. The | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
people of Lockerbie have kept everyone's memory alive. And at | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
tonight's memorial service, there was a reminder that despair can | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
breed hope. Every year now two scholars from Lockerbie study at an | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
American university, which lost 35 of its own. They had hopes. They had | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
dreams, ambitions and plans. They were loved and irreplaceable. We are | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
looking back and acting forward on their behalf. At the same moment, | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
across the Atlantic, they were also remembering. My beloved sister, | :10:23. | :10:33. | |
Shannon Davis. Jay Josef Kingham. 270 chimes in Virginia for 270 | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
victims of terrorism. In London too, today was about remembrance. Even | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
here in Westminster, the official story of Lockerbie was challenged by | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
a father who believes the convicted bomber, Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi, | :10:47. | :10:55. | |
was framed. He died, my friend, over Christmas if you pray, please pray | :10:56. | :11:04. | |
for his innocent family. Please pray also that we, who will sit down at a | :11:05. | :11:14. | |
Christmas table with chairs forever empty may find peace. There comes a | :11:15. | :11:23. | |
point when any tragedy moves from news to history. But even after a | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
quarter of a century, the Lockerbie bombing is not yet there. | :11:29. | :11:41. | |
Let's take you to the sport now. Good evening. As usual, Match of the | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
Day follows the news, so look away now, if you don't want to know | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
today's Premier League results. Liverpool have moved to the top of | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
the league following their 3-1 win at home to Cardiff, a day after | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
signing a new long-term contract, Luis Suarez scored two of | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
Liverpool's goals. But there's still uncertainty over the future of | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
Cardiff manager, Malky Mackay, in a week when he was told by owner, | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
Vincent Tan to resign or be sacked, Mackay, a clear favourite with the | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
fans, responded today by insisting he will not walk out on the club. | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
Hot on the tails of the new leaders, Liverpool, are Manchester City. They | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
added four more to their impressive goal tally, beating Fulham 4-2. | :12:21. | :12:28. | |
Vincent Kompany among the goal scorers. City are up to second in | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
the league. Here are the other results: | :12:31. | :12:48. | |
Celtic have extended their unbeaten run in the Scottish Premiership to | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
16 games now, following their 2-0 win against Hearts. Kris Commons | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
opened the scoring before James Forrest completed the victory. | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
Celtic are now ten points clear at the top of the table. | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
Dundee United are in second, they beat Ross County 1-0. | :13:10. | :13:23. | |
Burnley are the new leaders in the championship. QPR have been knocked | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
off the top spot, losing 1-0 to Leicester. The match will probably | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
be best remembered for this: A furry visitor, a squirrel invaded the | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
pitch. The match was delayed for over four minutes, before it was | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
eventually chase add way. -- chased away. | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
Leicester Tigers have confirmed that Toby Flood will leave the club at | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
the end of the season. He's been linked with a move to French club | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
Toulouse, which would rule him out of playing for England, since | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
players based overseas aren't eligible for selection. The news | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
came on the day Leicester suffered their heaviest defeat in the Aviva | :14:00. | :14:07. | |
Premiership, beaten 49-10. Saracens stay top of the league. | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
Bath continued their winning streak, beating harlins 14--- Harlequins | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
14-3. That's all the sport. Back to you, | :14:15. | :14:26. | |
Kate. Now, in case you weren't watching | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
the final earlier, Abbey Clancy and her partner, Aljaz Skorjanec, have | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
been crowned the winners of the this year's Strictly Come Dancing. I have | :14:37. | :14:45. | |
great pleasure in crowning Abbey and Aljaz Strictly Come Dancing | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
Champions 2013. Yes, Sir Bruce presented the winning couple with | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
the Glitterball trophy in the 11th series of the show. More than six | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
million votes were cast in the first all-woman final which saw Clancy | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
beat BBC Breakfast Susanna Reid and Natalie Gumede. | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
Much more on all of today's stories on the BBC News channel. That's all | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
from me and the team here. A very good night to you. Bye-bye. | :15:11. | :15:21. | |
Hello. I can't see the weather taking much time off this Christmas. | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
The run up over the next few days really quite turbulent at times. | :15:29. | :15:29. |
