The new leaders of Libya call for the guns to come off the streets of | :00:06. | :00:10. | |
Tripoli and tell the rebels to go home. | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
They set out a framework to rule the country and promise democratic | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
elections. Also on tonight's programme: The 15-year-old girl | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
killed by her ex-boyfriend. Her mother calls for the return of the | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
death penalty. I do believe that he did it. He's | :00:27. | :00:36. | |
not innocent. I will help anybody campaign to bring it back. | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
The markets take fright as new unemployment figures in America | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
raise fears of a new recession. Claims some bread can contain as | :00:45. | :00:50. | |

I will be the most despised woman in the world. Madonna tells us why | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
she identified with Wallis Simpson, the subject of her new film. Once | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
you become a public figure, or a celebrity, it is very hard for | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
people to give you more than one dimension to live in. | :01:13. | :01:20. | |
Coming up in sport: A disappointing day in Daegu for Team GB as the men | :01:20. | :01:30. | |

miss out on the medals in the 4 x Good evening. Welcome to the BBC | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
News at Six. Libya's National Transitional Council says most of | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
the country is now secure and safe and it is a matter of time before | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
Colonel Gaddafi is caught or killed. It follows a defiant message from | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
the former Libyan leader in which he vowed to fight a long guerrilla | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
war. Much of Libya is now under the control of rebel forces including | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
Tripoli. These are the only key towns still controlled by Colonel | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
Gaddafi's forces, including Bani Walid, where the former leader may | :02:09. | :02:17. | |
be hiding. As well as Gaddafi, the hunt is on for his sons. Libya's | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
new leaders have set out a timetable for democratic change in | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
the country. They have also called for the guns to be taken off the | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
streets of Tripoli and any rebels who are not from the capital to | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
return home. Jeremy Bowen is in Tripoli and he's been speaking to | :02:33. | :02:43. | |
senior members of the new government. | :02:43. | :02:53. | |
:02:53. | :02:53. | ||
A lot of fervour and guns. Tripoli is in its revolutionary honeymoon, | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
even though Colonel Gaddafi is still at large and parts of the | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
country are controlled by his men. Those people in the capital, who | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
supported the Colonel, keep well away from crowds these days. The | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
streets of Tripoli are still dominated by young fighters. They | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
have moved into the power vacuum left by Colonel Gaddafi. As far as | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
they are concerned, this is their revolution. Libya's new civilian | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
leaders in the National Transitional Council are trying to | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
start the process of persuading them to go home. I'm not too | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
concerned by the guns right now. We need the guns to hunt this killer, | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
but my concern is, when you talk about democracy, when you talk | :03:37. | :03:45. | |
about civil society, you don't want to do that with anti-aircraft guns. | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
GUNFIRE Tripoli's new military headquarters was an American | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
airbase before the Gaddafi years. Its commander was arrested once and | :03:55. | :04:03. | |
he said tortured by the CIA. He's the co-founder in the '90s of a | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
fighting group the Americans said was a terrorist organisation with | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
links to Al-Qaeda. He says all he ever wanted to do was overthrow the | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
Colonel. He says they have a good idea where Gaddafi is, he will get | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
a fair trial if he surrenders and if he won't surrender they will | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
kill him. Bab Al-Aziziya has become a place to take the children. It | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
was the nerve centre of the Gaddafi regime. Now, they write rude | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
messages about him. Assuming they can kill or capture Colonel Gaddafi, | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
this will become the most complete Arab revolution so far. He created | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
a quirky and unique system of government. That's already | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
dissolved so Libya's new leaders have to find a new way to run this | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
country and they have to take the people with them. If they can do it, | :04:57. | :05:06. | |
it will be a huge achievement. We can talk to Jeremy now in | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
Tripoli. You have been talking to people there. Is there a sense that | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
the National Transitional Council is beginning to get a grip on | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
things? Well, they are there and they are recognised by the big | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
powers of the world and the man in the piece who I was talking to is | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
their senior representative here. He's trying to get the guns off the | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
streets. Down there, you might have heard some gunfire - they are | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
preparing for a demonstration. There has been quite a bit of | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
celebratory fire. Big stuff going up in the air as well. While they | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
are tolerating it for the time being, they are saying it can't go | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
on for a long time. We will see what happens in the next few days | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
because he says there will be fewer guns and more police on the streets. | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
Up till now, there is no sign of that happening. How destabilising | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
is it that Colonel Gaddafi keeps popping up and broadcasting defiant | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
messages? I think in all Libyans who don't like Colonel Gaddafi | :06:05. | :06:12. | |
there is this worm of doubt. While he is still there, they can't | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
really be sure that he won't come back in some form to haunt their | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
lives again. While they are behaving here, they are celebrating | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
- there is a ship tooting its siren there as well to join in - while | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
they are celebrating this extraordinary revolutionary | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
honeymoon, the fact is, he is still in the country and he is a reminder | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
of everything that went before and which they hope will be no part | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
whatsoever of their future. Thank you. | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
A teenage boy described by a judge as devious, calculating and | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
controlling has been jailed for a minimum of 14 years for murdering | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
his 15-year-old ex-girlfriend. Joshua Davies killed Rebecca | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
Aylward in October last year by hitting her repeatedly with a rock | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
in woodland near Bridgend. Swansea Crown Court heard how Davies had | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
discussed killing her in texts and on the internet with one of his | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
friends joking that he would buy him breakfast if he carried out his | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
threat. This is 16-year-old Joshua Davies | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
who a judge described as devious, calculating and controlled. He | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
lured his ex-girlfriend into this stretch of woodland where he | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
battered her to death with a rock. His victim was Rebecca Aylward. The | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
court was told she trusted and loved him. The two had dated for | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
several months. After today's sentence, Rebecca's family said her | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
death had cast a permanent shadow over them. It seems like it's just | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
happened. We haven't been able to move on at all. I don't think we | :07:57. | :08:04. | |
will for a while. We just feel just as bad, don't we? It is devastating. | :08:04. | :08:13. | |
She was like a second mother to me. Devastated. Davies murdered Rebecca | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
in October last year. Her body was found face down in these woods near | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
Bridgend, a day after she was reported missing. The trial heard | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
that he openly plotted to kill Rebecca during an exchange of text | :08:28. | :08:38. | |
:08:38. | :08:57. | ||
messages with one of his friends. At the time, this friend thought it | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
was all a sick joke. But after discovering that Rebecca had been | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
murdered he reported it to the police. When Joshua Davies invited | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
Rebecca to this spot last year, she thought he wanted to rekindle their | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
relationship. But the truth couldn't have been any more | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
different. It was said in court that he killed her because of a | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
deep-seated hatred. Davies, who has denied the murder and shown no | :09:25. | :09:34. | |
remorse, was told he will serve a minimum of 14 years. | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
Fears grew today that the US economy could slip back into | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
recession after the latest monthly figures showed no increase in the | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
number of people with jobs. The gloomy data, which was worse than | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
predicted, led to falls in stock markets on both sides of the | :09:51. | :09:58. | |
Atlantic. On Wall Street today, the opening | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
bell was rung by smiling business women who have created jobs. The | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
bitter irony because the US economy as a whole has not. On both sides | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
of the Atlantic, markets fell on news that job creation here was all | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
but paralysed. Some 14 million Americans are out of work. Over the | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
past year, the economy had been adding jobs at a painfully slow | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
rate, but in August the number of hirings and firings cancelled each | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
other out, meaning net job creation was zero. The American population | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
grows each month by 130,000. We need that many jobs to stay even. | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
We didn't create any jobs at all. Unemployment is alarming high and | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
it is unlikely to fall in the near future. For Barack Obama, | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
unemployment is more than an Achilles heel, it is a big bull's- | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
eye on his presidency. The job numbers deepen fears of a double- | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
dip recession. Next week, the President will unveil a highly | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
anticipated jobs package combining tax breaks for employers with a | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
proposed upgrade of America's roads and railways, creating construction | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
work. At this Jobcentre in Virginia, we found mixed opinions as to | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
whether the Government can make a difference. He is digging things - | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
I don't agree everything he has done. I did vote for him. I'm not | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
sure at this point the Government can do so much. The cash | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
constraints are there. Not sure there is anything they can do | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
meaningfully. There is a catch-22 here. For the economy to grow, | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
companies must hire workers and invest, but they will only do that | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
when they see evidence of growth. The President, departing for Camp | :11:46. | :11:53. | |
David, knows it is about confidence and right now there isn't any. | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
We can speak to Mark Mardell in Washington. How bad is this for the | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
US economy and for the President? Well, it is the first time since | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
World War Two that there has been no overall creation of jobs. It is | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
a neat symbol of an economy that seems to have stagnated, it won't | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
grow. Of course, that is bad for a President who wants to be re- | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
elected next year. He's got this big speech on a jobs package next | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
week. That is more about politics than economics because the | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
Republicans will probably kill all the ideas in it. So 2012 is set for | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
a big argument about two very different visions - about how to | :12:33. | :12:40. | |
create jobs. It will be all about jobs. In the last hour, the Crown | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
Prosecution Service has said it's dropping charges against a nurse | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
accused in connection with the deaths of patients at a hospital in | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
Stockport. The CPS says there is insufficient evidence for a trial | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
to proceed against 27-year-old Rebecca Leighton. Judith Moritz is | :12:54. | :13:01. | |
at the hospital. What more can you tell us? Rebecca Leighton had faced | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
three charges of causing criminal damage with intent to endanger life | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
after it was suspected that medical supplies had been tampered with, | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
that insulin had been added to saline products. She was charged in | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
July but let go this afternoon, we understand that she left prison | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
this afternoon. Those charges have been dropped. Greater Manchester | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
Police, whose case this is, say that the case is not over. They say | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
that although Rebecca Leighton has been let go, they now have reason | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
to believe that as many as 40 patients here at Stepping Hill may | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
have had their medical products tampered with and they believe | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
seven of those patients may have died as a result. The police say | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
they are not launching a murder investigation but instead they are | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
calling it an enquiry into suspicious deaths. They say that | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
this is one of the most challenging and complex enquiries they have | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
ever had to deal with. Lastly, the Crown Prosecution Service, who were | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
involved in bringing those charges against Rebecca Leighton, have | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
explained this afternoon that she was charged under "the threshold | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
test" which means that when they brought the charges they didn't | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
quite have enough evidence against her. They believed that would | :14:13. | :14:23. | |
:14:23. | :14:24. | ||
emerge in time. It hasn't and as a A teenage go macro Grand Prix men | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
have been jailed for plotting to kidnap and rape two 16 year olds in | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
Lancashire. Stephanie Knight told the girls they were going clubbing, | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
but instead they were lured to a house where they were sexually | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
assaulted. Two brothers and their cousin had been given indeterminate | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
sentences for the attacks, which happened in Accrington two years | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
ago. There's been a big increase in the number of people convicted of | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
child sex abuse offences in England and Wales, up almost 57 %. It's | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
believed the rise is because more offenders are being caught. For the | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
first time, the BBC has obtained a more comprehensive measure of | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
convictions for the sex abuse of children in England and Wales. It | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
includes the most serious crime of rape. In 2005, 1363 people were | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
convicted of child sex abuse. By last year, the figure was 2135 - an | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
increase of nearly 57 %. That doesn't mean abuse is more | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
widespread. Police believe the rise in convictions is down to better | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
detection and awareness. We think it's part of a number of signs that | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
we see that children who are victims of terrible crimes are | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
becoming more confident to come forward and tell their stories. For | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
us, that's an important step in the right direction. Peter Saunders was | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
sexually abused as a child and now works with victims. He says only a | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
minority actually see their abuser convicted. The figures we are | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
talking about are the tip of the iceberg. But it is undoubtedly one | :15:58. | :16:07. | |
of the hardest crimes to convict. It goes on behind closed doors and | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
prosecuting an historic case, when people are brave enough to come | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
forward, is extremely difficult. The NSPCC suggests that one in 20 | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
secondary school children have been sexually assaulted, and that last | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
year police in England and Wales were notified of 23,000 offences. | :16:22. | :16:28. | |
10 times the number of convictions. But it's the Internet which is | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
increasingly worrying child protection groups. Nearly 300 | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
people have been convicted of grooming children online since 2004. | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
And this helpline for child sex abusers has seen a huge increase in | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
the number of men who admitted using images of child abuse on the | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
internet. Hour helpline has been enormous numbers of people | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
contacting us. Men, mostly because of their consumption of child | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
pornography. Some of them because they are regrettable that they did | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
it and hope it doesn't come back to haunt them. Others, because they | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
are troubled about why they did it and what it means about their risk | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
to children. And others because they have been arrested and they | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
don't know what their future has in store. The majority of child sex | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
abuse still remains unreported. The government will soon announce new | :17:16. | :17:25. | |
measures to try to change that. Our top story - the new leaders of | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
Libya call for the guns to come off the streets of Tripoli and tell the | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
rebels to go home, as they plan democratic elections. Up Close And | :17:35. | :17:38. | |

Several types of bread can contain as much salt per slice as a packet | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
of crisps. High salt levels are often found in fresh baked loaves | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
in shops and supermarkets, rather than packaged bread board off the | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
shelf. That's according to a group of medical experts campaigning to | :18:17. | :18:24. | |
reduce salt in our diets. We all need salt, but too much can raise | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
blood pressure, which is linked to heart disease and stroke. The | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
government recommends no more than six grams of salt a day for adults. | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
But average consumption is 8.5 grams. Most salt we eat is not | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
added at the table, but it's already in our food - such as bread, | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
one of the major sources of salt in diet. Bread manufacturers have cut | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
salt levels by around a third in the past decade. But not enough, | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
according to campaigners. They looked at nearly 300 different | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
loaves. Although most met the current maximum level of 1.1 grams | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
of salt per 100 grams of bread, about two thick slices, more than | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
one in three would fail a lower target of one gram of salt per 100 | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
grams of bread, coming in next year. He few are buying pre-packaged | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
bread you can look at the labels and try to swap the brand for | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
another that is lower in salt. It can make quite a big difference | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
over a day, particularly if you are feeding your child toast for | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
breakfast and sandwiches for lunch, you can cut out a few grams by it | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
swopping. The research found that premium speciality breads, which | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
some assume is a healthy option, generally contained a lot more salt | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
than mass produced, sliced bread. This love contains two-and-a-half | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
times as much salt per 100 grams as this one. Standard bread that we | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
buy in the supermarket, that has seen massive reductions in salt. | :19:53. | :19:59. | |
Yes, there are still some problems with some speciality products, but | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
those armed routinely bought and consumed. Therefore be volume of | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
salt we can see men bread every day in this country has dropped | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
dramatically in the last decade. His artisan French Baker, Paul, | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
which has dozens of shops around London, had among the highest salt | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
levels in its bread. It says as a result of the survey it has | :20:20. | :20:27. | |
immediately reduced its salt content. Its millions of pounds | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
over budget and several years later. Until just a few hours ago, | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
spiralling costs meant Edinburgh's new tram network was not even going | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
to run into the city centre. Councillors have reversed that | :20:38. | :20:45. | |
decision. This is one of Edinburgh's main streets. The track | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
has already been laid, but for a while it looked as if the trams | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
would never arrive. That has changed now in what has become a | :20:52. | :20:59. | |
very long running saga. This is what it should look like. And 11 | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
mile tramline easing congestion in Scotland's capital city. But | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
there's been contractual disputes, cost overruns and long delays. And | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
exasperation from the long- suffering residents of Edinburgh. | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
Nobody wanted it and now we are having to pay for it. It's been a | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
shambles. It's a disgrace. I don't want to talk about it because I | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
think I would be very rude. This project has lurched from crisis to | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
crisis, and now a U-turn on the decision to further short and the | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
route. The trams will now run to the city centre after all. | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
decision did this city's reputation no good. People could not | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
understand why we would want to have a tramline that went to when | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
nobody wanted to go and we would always run at a loss. A trams have | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
juddered from one controversy to the next. The original route would | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
have connected one side of the city to the other, but that was scaled | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
back to the city centre and revised again to terminate at Haymarket. At | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
the same time, costs have soared. The original �545 million price tag | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
has ballooned. It's now estimated at more than �770 million. By the | :22:11. | :22:18. | |
time that loan is paid off, but costs will have reached �1 billion. | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
Many along the proposed route to say that business is now getting | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
better but they've still been left counting the cost. I feel very | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
strongly about the project. It's been mismanaged and has cost me in | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
excess of �100,000. Its cost many people their livelihoods on the | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
tram route. Having an open chequebook could be disastrous for | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
the city. It's like a gambler who has lost his car and is now getting | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
his house on the outcome. So what of the City's reputation? This | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
whole saga has been so sad. It's done no credit to this city | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
whatsoever. It could have and should have been handled so much | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
differently. There are still potential problems ahead. No date | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
for when the trams will start and no apparent guarantee that the | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
overall bill won't rise still further. Even if we now know when | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
the end of the line will be. And even though the trams are not yet | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
operational, the tram tracks are already in need of repair. This | :23:19. | :23:27. | |
street is set to be closed from next week. People living here are | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
saying things couldn't get worse. Celtic have been reinstated him to | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
the euro -- into the Europa League after FC Sion were expelled from | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
the competition for fielding ineligible players during their win. | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
FC Sion have three days to appeal against the verdict. Her career in | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
music has been a long and successful one, but Madonna's film | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
career has been less glittering. Her new film tells the story of | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
Wallis Simpson, whose affair with Edward VII scandalised Britain and | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
led to his abdication. In her only British interview, Madonna has been | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
talking to our arts editor about what she hoped to achieve with the | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
film. The report contains flash photography. Enter Madonna. | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
Performing for the cameras. She is promoting her new film, though this | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
time she's not the start but the director. It's not usual for this | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
much faster be made about a rookie film director. But then Madonna is | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
hardly typical. She's very famous and she gets treated rather | :24:32. | :24:42. | |
:24:42. | :24:43. | ||
differently. What's wrong? subject of celebrity is an | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
essential theme running through her new film, W.E.. It tells the story | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
of Wallis Simpson's affair with Edward VII. Let's stop this talk | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
about marriage. I can't see any good coming from it. And considers | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
what the future Duchess of Windsor lost by becoming a public figure. | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
will be the most despised woman in the world. The price of fame is an | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
issue close to the director's heart. Once you become a public figure or | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
a celebrity, it's very hard for people to give you more than one | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
dimension to live in. You are reduced to a soundbite. It can | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
often be frustrating because you spend most of your time-saving, | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
that's not me, that's not what I said or did. I'm sure that Wallis | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
Simpson felt the same way. A Wallis Simpson story is well known, it | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
featured in the Oscar-winning the King's Speech. So Madonna has added | :25:40. | :25:49. | |
another element. A parallel story about an obsessed Manhattan dweller | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
who has a complicated love life. To mix two stories and two time frames | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
would be a challenge for an experienced director. For a | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
relatively new one, it's a huge undertaking. A nightmare! The | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
details of the stories and the world they lived in, the luxury, | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
the objects... I don't know what I was thinking when I was writing the | :26:11. | :26:18. | |
script. The film has divided critic, from light and warm, to pure scorn. | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
But the director of Black Swan thinks the Material Girl has come | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
up with the goods. Everyone has seen the King's Speech. To see | :26:26. | :26:33. | |
another window into that story was fascinating. Now the stuttering | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
King is a supporting actor played by a different actor. It's just | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
interesting to see how we different artist approaches that universe and | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
how they fit together is pretty cool. At the end of the press | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
conference there was this bizarre scene. Hardened hacks turned into | :26:52. | :26:59. | |
diehard fans desperate for an autograph. An ironic episode given | :26:59. | :27:06. | |
that B-movie questions the cult of celebrity. -- given that the movie | :27:06. | :27:13. | |
It's gorgeous for some of us, it's been a lovely day today. But for a | :27:13. | :27:19. | |
few it is going to be a bit wet, particularly tomorrow. In the south | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
we have had lots of sunshine, but the cloud is already bringing rain | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
to parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland. It will become more | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
extensive across northern Britain tonight, moving into north-west | :27:30. | :27:34. | |
England and North Wales. For most of England and Wales it is a dry | :27:34. | :27:39. | |
night. Turning increasingly cloudy and quite misty along the south | :27:39. | :27:46. | |
coast. Into the weekend, across many eastern counties of England it | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
will be a sparkling day. But further west it will be a different | :27:49. | :27:53. | |
story. Rain spreading across northern England in too much of | :27:53. | :27:56. | |
Wales. We will see the rain trickling into the south-west of | :27:56. | :28:00. | |
England. Some dry and bright conditions for the morning but in | :28:00. | :28:03. | |
Devon and Cornwall in particular we will see the rain arriving in the | :28:03. | :28:08. | |
late afternoon. The rain heading towards Cardiff, but much of west | :28:08. | :28:18. | |
:28:18. | :28:18. | ||
and north Wales will stay soggy throughout the day. Wet weather to | :28:18. | :28:22. | |
start the day across much of Scotland. We will keep some showers | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
drifting in across the Highlands, but parts of the north-east should | :28:25. | :28:29. | |
turn drier and the central belt also turning brighter eventually. | :28:29. | :28:33. | |
It will be a wet day across parts of northern England was a much of | :28:33. | :28:38. | |
your trouble stay dry-eyed. The Midlands and the south-east have a | :28:38. | :28:43. | |
cracking day. The sun comes out and temperatures in East Anglia, maybe | :28:43. | :28:47. |
