Tonight exclusively on Newsnight a senior Labour figure

:00:00.:00:08.

tells us he fears Remain is going to lose the referendum.

:00:09.:00:12.

I think here we are, two weeks away from the very real

:00:13.:00:15.

prospect that Britain will vote for isolation.

:00:16.:00:17.

We report on serious concerns in Labour that the party's elite

:00:18.:00:25.

is failing to engage with the issues that matter to grass

:00:26.:00:28.

And I'll be talking to the Shadow Work

:00:29.:00:32.

She was very sweet, she was listing to me, but I don't think I was

:00:33.:00:44.

making any progress. -- listening. We've sent two campaigners

:00:57.:01:01.

sure of that. He is my brother. A damning report on the UVF pub

:01:25.:01:32.

president, this is a picture you will never see again.

:01:33.:01:39.

Newsnight tonight reveals the deep anxieties of a senior Labour figure

:01:40.:01:45.

that the party is not getting the message out to labour

:01:46.:01:51.

voters to back Remain, and indeed that the message

:01:52.:01:58.

being sent down from the Labour elite is out of tune

:01:59.:02:01.

The former shadow home secretary Andy Burnham has told this programme

:02:02.:02:05.

that he has serious concerns that the country will vote to leave

:02:06.:02:07.

the EU, and that if that happened it could trigger a domino effect

:02:08.:02:11.

which could lead to the breakup of the United Kingdom.

:02:12.:02:13.

Here's our political editor Nick Watt.

:02:14.:02:18.

Blink and you probably missed it, the once mighty Labour machine has

:02:19.:02:25.

been somewhat underpowered during this historic moment in modern

:02:26.:02:30.

British politics. Nothing can go wrong. You would have to be on a

:02:31.:02:35.

very long holiday to a distant galaxy to Misty blue on blue

:02:36.:02:39.

shelling that is shaping perceptions of this referendum. -- to miss. Are

:02:40.:02:46.

we missing the rupture between red and red, the hidden story of this

:02:47.:02:49.

campaign which might do more to decide the result? The working man

:02:50.:02:54.

is not going to prosper when we come out, I don't think, because our

:02:55.:02:58.

largest market will turn our back. We seem to be a country that is open

:02:59.:03:05.

to anything, we have not got our own identity any more. Andy Burnham

:03:06.:03:10.

received a mixed reception from voters on the streets of Manchester,

:03:11.:03:15.

as once natural Labour supporters say they have abandoned the party in

:03:16.:03:18.

favour of Ukip and now is about getting out of the European Union.

:03:19.:03:22.

These encounters illustrated one of his main themes, there is a

:03:23.:03:26.

disconnect between the elite and grassroots voters. And that explains

:03:27.:03:32.

why this referendum is now so close. We've definitely been too much

:03:33.:03:37.

Hampstead and not enough Hull in recent times, and we need to change

:03:38.:03:43.

that. Are you concerned that the referendum could be slipping away?

:03:44.:03:50.

Yes. Here we are, two weeks away from the very real prospect that

:03:51.:03:55.

Britain will vote for isolation, it would be isolation. I think it would

:03:56.:04:00.

have a profound effect on our national life. The fragmentation

:04:01.:04:04.

that will come and the fear and division, those are the things that

:04:05.:04:10.

the terrorists could not great with our bombs, but we will have a

:04:11.:04:13.

situation where society becomes more divided. If this decision is taken,

:04:14.:04:21.

the dominoes will start to fall and it won't just be the EU that breaks

:04:22.:04:28.

up, it will be Britain, as well. The mismatch between Labour activists

:04:29.:04:30.

and wider supporters has been borne out by polls. One found 27% of

:04:31.:04:36.

Labour supporters want to leave the EU, and another found a just 10% of

:04:37.:04:51.

Labour members favour Brexit. Immigration is what they tend to

:04:52.:04:56.

break as one of the biggest problems, the voters, and that is

:04:57.:04:59.

where they are most at odds with the party they have traditionally voted

:05:00.:05:04.

for and on that issue that they hear the Leave campaign and the Brexit

:05:05.:05:08.

politicians really resonating with them. Andy Burnham is planning to

:05:09.:05:14.

relocate his political career entirely to the North West, as the

:05:15.:05:18.

new mayor of greater Manchester to repair relations with voters who

:05:19.:05:20.

should be Labour's natural supporters. He wants to avoid a

:05:21.:05:27.

repeat of the fate suffered by the party in Scotland after the

:05:28.:05:32.

independence referendum. There is a parallel between the Scottish

:05:33.:05:36.

referendum and what happens to Labour after it and the European

:05:37.:05:39.

referendum, there is, quite a clear parallel. Labour could be threatened

:05:40.:05:47.

afterwards. If we are perceived not to be listening to the concerns that

:05:48.:05:52.

people have expressed. Another challenge for Labour, divisions

:05:53.:05:55.

between former ministers such as Andy Burnham and their leader Jeremy

:05:56.:06:00.

Corbyn. His support for the EU is not exactly heartfelt. Ukip hopes to

:06:01.:06:06.

exploit these divisions as the party attempts to build on its recent

:06:07.:06:11.

modest success in the North West. You have a leader of the Labour

:06:12.:06:14.

Party who clearly is on the record as being anti-EU, and Jeremy Corbyn

:06:15.:06:20.

is now a hostage of the Parliamentary Labour Party. He

:06:21.:06:24.

stands there defending the right for us to be in the EU, and they will

:06:25.:06:29.

pay a price for that after the referendum. But there are some

:06:30.:06:33.

hopeful lines for Labour, Andy Burnham met if you can through

:06:34.:06:38.

spirits in Manchester bash hopeful signs. You are definitely in? Yes.

:06:39.:06:46.

I'm a small business, and you want to be international and trade with

:06:47.:06:50.

other countries. For the moment, Andy Burnham is focusing on winning

:06:51.:06:54.

back former members of the Labour tribe by spelling out the benefits

:06:55.:06:59.

of the EU, he hopes the experience of his father who benefited from EU

:07:00.:07:02.

free movement rules to find work in Germany after missing his job, we'll

:07:03.:07:09.

win over the sceptics. That is it is established in the national psyche,

:07:10.:07:12.

the Alfie design pattern generation, they left to find work elsewhere, at

:07:13.:07:18.

additional industry was being removed by Margaret Thatcher, and

:07:19.:07:20.

that is remembered well in the North West. -- as traditional industry. If

:07:21.:07:28.

it was good enough for us back then, why is it not good enough for others

:07:29.:07:33.

now? Brexit will limit the life chances of today's generation,

:07:34.:07:37.

because if times get tough again, they won't be able to find work

:07:38.:07:41.

elsewhere as easily as we did in the past. Reaching out to an iconic

:07:42.:07:49.

1980s television series shows the scale of Labour's challenging

:07:50.:07:51.

reconnecting with its former grassroots supporters. Calmer waters

:07:52.:07:57.

are likely to remain a long way off regardless of the referendum result.

:07:58.:08:03.

Well, joining me now is Owen Smith - the Shadow Work

:08:04.:08:06.

You heard what Andy Burnham had to say, a real prospect of isolation.

:08:07.:08:15.

Do you agree? It is balanced on a knife edge at it is possible it

:08:16.:08:19.

could go either way. It has clearly got more difficult for those of us

:08:20.:08:22.

who believe we should be remaining to make the case in recent weeks,

:08:23.:08:27.

and the Leave campaign have had the mental, but Andy said what we have

:08:28.:08:33.

got to emphasise -- have had the momentum. Working people need to

:08:34.:08:38.

stay because they will be worse off if we leave. He recognises there is

:08:39.:08:43.

a disconnect between the Labour elite at Westminster and what

:08:44.:08:48.

working-class Labour supporters are fearful. I'm not sure that is right.

:08:49.:08:56.

70% of Labour supporters, Labour voters, are in favour of staying in,

:08:57.:09:01.

so there is actually quite a clear correlation between our position of

:09:02.:09:05.

being in and what pollsters have been told, but on immigration and

:09:06.:09:09.

other things, there are clearly massive worries around the country.

:09:10.:09:16.

These worries people have come at you have not sufficiently reassured

:09:17.:09:19.

people about, that is quite clear. I do agree. You have not taken on

:09:20.:09:26.

immigration properly. Immigration is something people worry about, but we

:09:27.:09:31.

are hearing that people are worried about jobs and security and the

:09:32.:09:35.

nature of the work they have and wages, and immigration has become

:09:36.:09:38.

something which sits alongside all of those things, it is bound up with

:09:39.:09:45.

a sense of loss and decline, especially in working-class former

:09:46.:09:47.

industrial areas and we have got to be doing more to speak to those

:09:48.:09:50.

people because they are our people. John Mann, MP of yours, he has

:09:51.:09:58.

announced that he backs the Leave campaign, he says it is not

:09:59.:10:01.

representing working-class interests and he says people are terrified to

:10:02.:10:08.

talk about immigration, and he says there is a mismatch between the

:10:09.:10:12.

things that matter to you and the people in the North West. I come

:10:13.:10:20.

from Pontypridd and directly sent a South Wales working-class

:10:21.:10:22.

constituency and I know the people I represent -- and I represent. I

:10:23.:10:26.

think John Mann is completely wrong about this. For my people in my

:10:27.:10:34.

constituency, and people in Andy's constituency, they will be worse off

:10:35.:10:37.

if we leave the European Union, we will have less tax revenue and we

:10:38.:10:41.

will see a hard right wing Tory government led by nincompoops like

:10:42.:10:46.

Boris Johnson taking money away from my constituency. I would suggest to

:10:47.:10:53.

you, what John Mann says, what kind of country we want to live in in 20

:10:54.:10:59.

years' time, do we want an extra ten within people living here? He says

:11:00.:11:03.

these are the concerns of working class people and you are dismissive

:11:04.:11:10.

of these fears. I said I'm not dismissive of people regarding

:11:11.:11:13.

immigration and I'd do not think we have done enough to address that

:11:14.:11:19.

issue. -- I do not think. There is a genuine need for us to listen to

:11:20.:11:25.

what people are saying, they want us to do something about it, but we

:11:26.:11:28.

should not cut off our noses to spite our face. What is Jeremy

:11:29.:11:34.

Corbyn going to say about the referendum? He is going to say that

:11:35.:11:40.

we hear people's concerns about what immigration does in terms of

:11:41.:11:43.

depressing wages and causing problems in communities, but we have

:11:44.:11:47.

got to express the truth of the complexity, if we had not had

:11:48.:11:50.

immigration we would not have had any bounce back in our economy, and

:11:51.:11:57.

we would not have the NHS... Is that not patronising to your voters? The

:11:58.:12:02.

way in which they are being patronised is being sold a simple

:12:03.:12:05.

lie by the Brexit campaign, which is if you leave we will be better off

:12:06.:12:12.

and we will sort out immigration. You do not hold with Andy Burnham's

:12:13.:12:15.

view that the lesson in the Scottish referendum is one that you should

:12:16.:12:18.

take because you are very much in peril? Look at what happened to

:12:19.:12:24.

Labour after the election and the referendum. I do not think that an

:12:25.:12:29.

allergy is right, the fact is, all parties are split, the Tories are

:12:30.:12:35.

split on this -- I don't think that an allergy is right. We need to work

:12:36.:12:40.

to raid saying those voters after the election, but I go back to the

:12:41.:12:44.

central point, we have got to be clear, Labour collectively, a few

:12:45.:12:49.

people apart, are in favour of staying in because for those

:12:50.:12:52.

workers, even if they have concerns about immigration, they will be

:12:53.:12:57.

worse off, they and their families, if we leave. What happens when you

:12:58.:13:04.

have Labour voters who voted to leave, are they not your people? Of

:13:05.:13:09.

course they are. Whichever way people vote, in this election. We

:13:10.:13:15.

have got to represent all of these people, but we have also got to be

:13:16.:13:19.

leaders and our view as leaders of the Labour movement in this country,

:13:20.:13:28.

trade unions and people like me, people will be better off, ordinary

:13:29.:13:32.

working people will be better off if we stay in the EU and they will be

:13:33.:13:36.

financially disadvantaged, we will have another recession, a hard right

:13:37.:13:39.

wing Tory government making more cuts. They will scrap workers'

:13:40.:13:46.

rights and make cuts in our communities and we will lose out,

:13:47.:13:50.

not them. You have a different agenda but you on the same side as

:13:51.:13:57.

the Tories in this. Not half of them. What will you say to all the

:13:58.:14:03.

Labour supporters of yours in the North East, with Ukip around, what

:14:04.:14:07.

do you say to them about their views? We will say that we have

:14:08.:14:12.

heard loud and clear, whichever way the vote goes, that people have deep

:14:13.:14:16.

concerns about immigration and concerns about the fact that

:14:17.:14:19.

post-industrial bits of Britain, are not very well, we need an active

:14:20.:14:25.

government, and active strategy, putting jobs back into the divinity,

:14:26.:14:28.

and if Labour does not do that, no one is going to. -- into the

:14:29.:14:31.

community. Thanks for joining us. Business leaders have been

:14:32.:14:35.

in the forefront of the EU debate, on both sides of the divide,

:14:36.:14:37.

but now the universities, who've been drowned out,

:14:38.:14:40.

are upping the volume. The difference is they are all

:14:41.:14:42.

singing from the same hymn sheet, Chris Cook has had sight of a report

:14:43.:14:44.

they're publishing tomorrow. This is a report focusing on the

:14:45.:14:52.

contribution of the European Union's research budgets to UK universities.

:14:53.:14:57.

British universities do for nominally well, we get around one in

:14:58.:15:04.

?7 that the EU spends on research in the whole of the EU, and that

:15:05.:15:11.

supports 19,000 jobs, but to be clear, universities get a lot of

:15:12.:15:17.

money, not just on research, but from foreign students, EU students,

:15:18.:15:22.

and they do not want to leave, for mercenary reasons, you might think,

:15:23.:15:26.

but also for other reasons, they are very keen on international

:15:27.:15:29.

collaboration in research which they think is a key thing that the EU

:15:30.:15:35.

enables. Will we hear more from universities?

:15:36.:15:40.

We will not only hear more, we will see something we have not seen

:15:41.:15:47.

before, it is common universities to make pitches to the country and to

:15:48.:15:51.

Westminster, no university leaders are making a play to get their own

:15:52.:15:55.

staff and students to vote for Remain. Appealing to their captive

:15:56.:16:03.

photos. There are millions of students disproportionately young,

:16:04.:16:07.

well-educated, classic Remain quotas and the universities are desperate

:16:08.:16:11.

to mobilise them. The principal of Edinburgh has written to his

:16:12.:16:15.

students basically recommending a Remain vote. The Vice Chancellor of

:16:16.:16:19.

Exeter has done the same in weaker language. I know at least three

:16:20.:16:24.

other vice Chancellors working with their councils on how far it is

:16:25.:16:27.

appropriate for them to go but they are desperate and next week we will

:16:28.:16:31.

see more from the chancellors. Chris Cook, thank you very much.

:16:32.:16:34.

Now the art of persuasion is very important in a Referendum,

:16:35.:16:37.

so we have deployed a passionate advocate on each side of the debate,

:16:38.:16:40.

to take their message into if not quite into the enemy camp then

:16:41.:16:43.

to areas where the majority appears to be against them.

:16:44.:16:45.

Film-maker Warwick Harrington took Roland Rudd, from Business

:16:46.:16:47.

into Europe, to Wolverhampton, and the former spokeswoman

:16:48.:16:50.

for the UK Independence Party Suzanne Burns

:16:51.:16:52.

I think we are going to Hampstead because I'm throwing myself into

:16:53.:17:23.

Why do you think Hampstead is so Europhile?

:17:24.:17:44.

I don't know Hampstead terribly well but I

:17:45.:17:46.

am guessing there are people there who are quite wealthy, has prices

:17:47.:17:49.

The sort of people who probably have not felt

:17:50.:17:55.

the impact of mass uncontrolled immigration

:17:56.:17:56.

the kind of jobs where people's wages are being forced down.

:17:57.:18:06.

Wolverhampton is a great place to go to because it

:18:07.:18:09.

big majority for Out, there is real concern

:18:10.:18:12.

about immigration and perhaps not necessarily an

:18:13.:18:16.

understanding of just how important economically

:18:17.:18:21.

understanding of just how important economically it is for people in

:18:22.:18:24.

It's amazing being here because 30 years ago, I

:18:25.:18:27.

started as a journalist at the Express and Star and recently they

:18:28.:18:30.

had a very interesting poll saying that 80% favoured Brexit.

:18:31.:18:32.

This was one of the strongest entries in the world

:18:33.:18:37.

once, why can't we be like that again?

:18:38.:18:39.

I don't really like Nigel Farage but what he

:18:40.:18:42.

says makes sense, I watched last night and I watched David Cameron,

:18:43.:18:45.

Nigel Farage is passionate about this country.

:18:46.:18:47.

Lately I'm feeling what will happen to my

:18:48.:18:50.

She wants a bigger house, she can't get one.

:18:51.:18:55.

No disrespect to the families who are

:18:56.:19:03.

coming in from Europe, you're welcome but you have to step

:19:04.:19:06.

let them step back and look after the kids In this country first.

:19:07.:19:10.

One is, there have been a lot of jobs created recently and

:19:11.:19:15.

about nine out of ten of those jobs have been

:19:16.:19:18.

people living here, so

:19:19.:19:19.

It actually feels quite at home, my favourite French cafe chain

:19:20.:19:33.

there and a fabulous homeware store that I use there.

:19:34.:19:39.

I just think I want to be able to vote in to power my MPs to make

:19:40.:19:57.

the laws and if I don't like it I can vote

:19:58.:19:59.

them out but those commissioners, you can't get rid of them.

:20:00.:20:02.

Are you feeling you are not living in a

:20:03.:20:04.

I don't have a problem with immigration, I just

:20:05.:20:12.

It means that from 28 other countries...

:20:13.:20:16.

And if it was not for the fact that we have

:20:17.:20:21.

East European immigrants, pouring into this country, as you say, then

:20:22.:20:23.

the construction industry would collapse.

:20:24.:20:25.

About whether we should stay in or out.

:20:26.:20:29.

If we leave, we end up with a recession.

:20:30.:20:34.

That is what the governor of the Bank of England says.

:20:35.:20:37.

I'll give you a quick example, right?

:20:38.:20:56.

They are doing a big plant here - they are.

:20:57.:21:05.

And by the end of this year, there will be 1600

:21:06.:21:09.

jobs in Wolverhampton and 30,000 jobs in the whole of the West

:21:10.:21:12.

Never mind that, it's all about people who got no skills or

:21:13.:21:20.

I've got no skills, no qualifications, no nothing.

:21:21.:21:25.

If it was just about us, we would probably vote to stay, we're

:21:26.:21:36.

thinking of our kids, we are struggling to get the deposit for a

:21:37.:21:39.

house and we've got good jobs and I don't want that for my children. I

:21:40.:21:44.

don't want them to be, they've got good jobs but Bristol can't afford a

:21:45.:21:50.

house. Almost everyone we have spoken to who is that they will vote

:21:51.:21:56.

Out has mentioned house prices, has that surprised you? Per house prices

:21:57.:22:00.

hasn't surprised me, what surprises me is that there is a school of

:22:01.:22:05.

thought that somehow if house prices crash that could somehow be good

:22:06.:22:09.

news because their kids can get onto the housing ladder and they can sort

:22:10.:22:11.

out later. One of the main reasons I am voting

:22:12.:22:23.

to leave is because of the huge democratic deficit of the EU. It

:22:24.:22:30.

behaves like a dictatorship. Hi fine, but these are problems that we

:22:31.:22:35.

can talk about and resolve. There are plenty of flaws in the current

:22:36.:22:41.

UK democratic system. We can apply the same argumentation, then we've

:22:42.:22:45.

got to pack in our passports and it is the argument, making the argument

:22:46.:22:51.

flawed because we have a non-elected House of Lords.

:22:52.:22:58.

Argue for staying in all voting out? Out. Any reason why? Immigration.

:22:59.:23:12.

Refugees is different but you've got people coming to this country who

:23:13.:23:16.

are getting benefits and have never paid anything and they can't speak

:23:17.:23:22.

English... I agree but if you come here and you have to work for four

:23:23.:23:27.

years before you get any benefits, that's better. What have you learned

:23:28.:23:35.

today? That immigration is a major issue, the sense of unfairness is

:23:36.:23:38.

really worrying people. They probably will vote to stay in if it

:23:39.:23:43.

means that we can be economically better off but they want to see the

:23:44.:23:48.

benefits of the single market much more evenly distributed. What

:23:49.:23:52.

shocked me was the passion from one side and the other was quite rare to

:23:53.:23:58.

find. We managed to find you some people to talk to but the passion

:23:59.:24:04.

was rare. Do you think we live in a democracy? Yes. She was sweet and

:24:05.:24:11.

listened and was smiling but I don't think I was making any headway!

:24:12.:24:19.

Nothing more is going to happen. OK! LAUGHTER

:24:20.:24:23.

The Persuaders! Last night on Newsnight we revealed

:24:24.:24:26.

doubts that the Eritrean man extradited from Sudan to Italy

:24:27.:24:29.

to face human trafficking charges relating to thousands of migrants,

:24:30.:24:31.

and possible homicide charges, is actually Mered Medhane,

:24:32.:24:41.

the man the security A man with a similar name appears to

:24:42.:24:43.

have been arrested in this place. The sister of the man being held

:24:44.:24:52.

who lives in Norway has today insisted her brother is a victim

:24:53.:24:55.

of mistaken identity and that he just happens

:24:56.:24:57.

to have the same first name. Who really is this man? What we know

:24:58.:25:05.

is that he has been extradited from Sudan to Italy, authorities from

:25:06.:25:09.

their belief he is a people smuggling boss called Mered

:25:10.:25:11.

Medhanie, others say they've got the wrong man and they have actually

:25:12.:25:14.

picked up an innocent Eritrean refugee. Those making the case

:25:15.:25:22.

include the sister of the man arrested, who says that she

:25:23.:25:26.

recognises him as her brother whom she has been living with in

:25:27.:25:31.

Khartoum. You couldn't be mistaken, it is definitely your brother? Yeah,

:25:32.:25:37.

it's definitely my brother. I'm not mistaken because I have been looking

:25:38.:25:41.

for him for two weeks, yesterday, all of a sudden, he came on the

:25:42.:25:48.

Internet as a human trafficker. He is not human trafficker. I'm sure of

:25:49.:25:54.

them, it's my brother. When was the first moment you realised that he

:25:55.:25:59.

had been arrested? I saw it on Facebook. What was your reaction? I

:26:00.:26:08.

was going crazy, I'm worried sick. Because the photo I saw yesterday,

:26:09.:26:16.

it is disturbing, he looks awful! Her version of events does is

:26:17.:26:20.

incredible. She says that her brother was arrested in Khartoum on

:26:21.:26:27.

May 24, the same day that authorities say that they arrested a

:26:28.:26:31.

man they believe is the notorious people smuggler -- smuggler, bed and

:26:32.:26:36.

Madonna. She says she has not heard anything from her brothers on

:26:37.:26:40.

Saturday. I have been searching for him two weeks. They told me there is

:26:41.:26:52.

nobody of that name in prison. If they cautioned him he would say that

:26:53.:26:55.

my sister Could police have mistaken the

:26:56.:27:17.

refugee on the left on the right? We asked a world leading facial

:27:18.:27:20.

recognition expert to compare these images with those of the man

:27:21.:27:26.

arrested. In an ideal world it would have been nice to undertake a full

:27:27.:27:30.

friends and review, make a proper comparison. I have been able to make

:27:31.:27:34.

a preliminary review and look at these images in detail and I am of

:27:35.:27:41.

the view that the person we believe to be the smuggler is not the person

:27:42.:27:45.

we see in custody. Equally, the person we understand to be the

:27:46.:27:50.

innocent party in this is most likely to be the person who is in

:27:51.:27:57.

custody. The arrest was a joint operation between British, Italian

:27:58.:28:03.

and Sudanese authorities. The sister of the arrested man wants answers

:28:04.:28:04.

from the police. I want to say to the police

:28:05.:28:05.

in England that they They should be investigating,

:28:06.:28:08.

he's not a human trafficker, he's an innocent refugee

:28:09.:28:11.

who arrived last year in Sudan. He doesn't do anything

:28:12.:28:13.

about the smuggling or anything. The real smuggling kingpin is

:28:14.:28:30.

accused of trafficking thousands of migrants across the Mediterranean to

:28:31.:28:35.

Italy, hundreds are said to have died, this arrest was meant to be

:28:36.:28:38.

one of the first big blows to the network behind the flow of people.

:28:39.:28:43.

Authorities in Italy say they are now checking the identity of the man

:28:44.:28:47.

they have. In Britain and the National Crime Agency says it is

:28:48.:28:51.

still too early to comment on the claims but what was originally

:28:52.:28:55.

touted as a major success is now looking increasingly dubious.

:28:56.:28:59.

When two Ulster Volunteer Force gunmen burst into a packed bar

:29:00.:29:02.

in Loughinisland in County Down as customers watched the Republic

:29:03.:29:04.

of Ireland playing Italy in the World Cup in 1994,

:29:05.:29:09.

they sprayed bullets indiscriminately, killing six men

:29:10.:29:11.

Now 22 years later, after a long campaign for Justice

:29:12.:29:21.

a second Ombudsman's report has concluded that there was significant

:29:22.:29:23.

collusion by the security forces in the murders.

:29:24.:29:25.

Among Dr Michael Maguire's damning findings was the revelation

:29:26.:29:27.

that the murder squad that carried out the killings had been involved

:29:28.:29:30.

in a number of other murders but had avoided arrest because the RUC's

:29:31.:29:38.

Special Branch intelligence unit had withheld evidence from detectives

:29:39.:29:40.

I'm joined now by the solicitor for the families, Niall Murphy.

:29:41.:29:49.

What was the reaction of the families? We had a private briefing

:29:50.:30:02.

yesterday with. The Maguire -- with doctor Maguire, the reaction was

:30:03.:30:09.

that the families were euphoric, exoneration of a 22 year campaign, a

:30:10.:30:15.

campaign conducted with dignity and perseverance, but the euphoria that

:30:16.:30:19.

their suspicions had been confirmed by an official state, the office of

:30:20.:30:26.

the police ombudsman, but it turns to one of outrage, their campaign

:30:27.:30:31.

had been about truth recovery, but when they received the truth it was

:30:32.:30:35.

a very difficult truth and a series of facts which were difficult to

:30:36.:30:40.

come to terms with. Very damning finding regarding a number of

:30:41.:30:46.

different counts for the police, and also the fact that Loyalist

:30:47.:30:48.

paramilitaries were being employed as police informants. Who do you

:30:49.:30:52.

think is responsible for the miscarriage of justice? Ultimate

:30:53.:30:59.

responsibility must be in those in senior positions, this is the latest

:31:00.:31:06.

report which joins a library of equally condemning reports from

:31:07.:31:13.

Stevens, Savile, the silver and reports by the previous police

:31:14.:31:19.

ombudsman, but this cannot gather dust on the shelf and there must be

:31:20.:31:22.

accountability and that accountability must come from those

:31:23.:31:30.

in senior positions who inserted the policy which allowed the grotesque

:31:31.:31:32.

intelligence failings which manifested themselves in the

:31:33.:31:39.

conclusion that collusion was a feature this atrocity. Do you think

:31:40.:31:43.

the authorities know who committed these murders? I know for a fact

:31:44.:31:47.

they know who committed these murders, it is laid out in the

:31:48.:31:53.

report. The authorities knew who committed the murders within 24

:31:54.:31:57.

hours. Is there the possibility that the case could be reopened? There

:31:58.:32:05.

are difficulties and we would hope not to raise false hopes. A

:32:06.:32:11.

prosecution to the criminal standard must be built on evidence, but the

:32:12.:32:15.

problem is that far from securing and preserving evidence, the RUC

:32:16.:32:21.

destroyed evidence as they came across it, nine out of 16 suspects

:32:22.:32:25.

did not have their fingerprints, DNA horror to Mac -- DNA or hair samples

:32:26.:32:34.

taken. They have three a la lovers and three boiler suits and three

:32:35.:32:39.

sets of clubs and all the weapons used and the getaway car, the

:32:40.:32:46.

largest exhibit they could have, but they destroyed the car within ten

:32:47.:32:50.

months. The problem is the police failed to gather the evidence and

:32:51.:32:55.

when they did they destroyed it. I wonder when the common station was

:32:56.:32:59.

with the ombudsman, whether he had a view in this and whether anybody

:33:00.:33:03.

will ever be brought to justice? -- when the conversation. The ombudsman

:33:04.:33:10.

said this was an investigation characterised by indifference and

:33:11.:33:12.

incompetence and neglect. He stated that the approach to inform a

:33:13.:33:18.

handling was one of see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, and

:33:19.:33:23.

this investigation did not have a chance because it did not want a

:33:24.:33:27.

chance. The people that committed this atrocity had killed before and

:33:28.:33:29.

they have the confidence that they were able to act with impunity to

:33:30.:33:33.

commit this atrocity. These are facts which are laid out very

:33:34.:33:38.

clearly, supported by original intelligence which has been viewed

:33:39.:33:42.

by police ombudsman investigators and has informed these very strong

:33:43.:33:45.

and robust conclusions which we see in the report. Thanks for joining

:33:46.:33:47.

us. Pete Souza is not a household name

:33:48.:33:52.

but you probably know his work. For the past eight years he's been

:33:53.:33:55.

the chief official White House photographer recording

:33:56.:34:01.

Barack Obama's presidency capturing not just

:34:02.:34:02.

the man but also history. From intimate family moments

:34:03.:34:06.

to drama in the situation room, and every single one of his images

:34:07.:34:08.

is archived forever. We spoke to Pete Souza as both men's

:34:09.:34:12.

tenure comes to an end. I started to photograph him in a way

:34:13.:34:42.

that, if he ever became president, the pictures I was taking early

:34:43.:34:48.

on would have some context. For instance, there's a picture

:34:49.:34:56.

I made of him, we went to Russia, and there is a picture of him

:34:57.:34:59.

when I was consciously He's walking around

:35:00.:35:02.

Red Square, on a sidewalk, I was trying to show

:35:03.:35:09.

that in the picture, that here is this US Senator walking

:35:10.:35:16.

through Red Square and no one is paying

:35:17.:35:19.

attention to him. I said to myself, if he ever became

:35:20.:35:23.

president, this is a picture You can imagine, what it would be

:35:24.:35:27.

like to have somebody pointing And certainly once

:35:28.:35:37.

he became president I think it took him several months

:35:38.:35:44.

to finally figure out that I was not going away,

:35:45.:35:54.

and that this was going to be part of his life, there was going to be

:35:55.:36:00.

this guy documenting his every move. The interesting thing about being

a White House photographer, Meaning, whether it is a serious

national security meeting, or a fun moment with a staff

person's child coming So in that context I observe him

:36:24.:36:25.

in every aspect of his life When you add up his day,

:36:26.:36:37.

and all the things I photograph, Someone in my office who kind

of monitors this said that I'd probably end up taking

:36:49.:36:58.

at the end of eight years The ones that are the hardest

:36:59.:37:01.

for me, I will say that when I'm photographing the president

consoling families, Especially after the shootings

:37:12.:37:13.

where the emotions of I don't regret taking those

:37:14.:37:28.

photographs but they I'm sure that I probably had tears

:37:29.:37:34.

flowing down my cheek, just to think Time Magazine at the end

:37:35.:37:46.

of his first term asked me to choose ten pictures

:37:47.:38:01.

which represented my favourites that Because you need to show him

:38:02.:38:04.

in all aspects of his life. I mean, sure, there are pictures

:38:05.:38:21.

where he is interacting with little But I don't want people

:38:22.:38:24.

to think that's all he does. What about anguishing

:38:25.:38:35.

in the situation over Isis? So, for me, it is the body of work

:38:36.:38:37.

which is important, and not saying, "This picture is the iconic picture

of the Obama administration". Tomorrow morning's front pages,

for a $20million legal action from two US songwriters.

:39:55.:39:58.

They claim Sheeran's multi-million pound track 'photograph' copied
