Extremists and government forces in Iraq are battling for control of | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
the country's largest oil refinery. There are conflicting reports, | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
though it's claimed ISIS fighters have seized most of the refinery. | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
Here, David Cameron says the extremists | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
are a direct threat to the UK. The people in that regime, | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
as well as trying to take territory, are also planning to attack us here | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
at home in the United Kingdom. The Iraqi prime minister has called | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
on his countrymen to unite against ISIS. | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
We'll have the latest from Baghdad. Also tonight: | :00:36. | :00:39. | |

And after 25 years, Paxo cycles off Newsnight - on a tandem with Boris. | :00:57. | :01:05. | |
On BBC London, the mayor of Tower Hamlets is accused in the High Court | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
of electoral fraud. And it is nearly two years since Julian Assange took | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
refuge in the Ecuadorian Embassy, but at what cost to London | :01:15. | :01:15. | |
taxpayers? Good evening and welcome to the | :01:16. | :01:34. | |
BBC News at Six. A battle is being waged over Iraq's | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
biggest oil refinery as extremists and government forces | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
fight to take control. The government claims it has now | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
driven out ISIS extremists from the refinery, which lies about | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
a hundred miles north of the capital Baghdad in the town of Baiji. | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
But there are also claims that the extremists currently control | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
three quarters of it. The Iraqi prime minister, Nouri | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
al-Maliki, has used a televised speech to urge his countrymen to | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
unite against ISIS, and formally requested US airstrikes. | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
Here, David Cameron told MPs that the crisis | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
in Iraq poses a direct threat to the UK in that extremists there are | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
also planning to strike in the UK. Jonathan Beale reports from Baghdad. | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
Another day, and another assault by ISIS. The images appear to show the | :02:21. | :02:30. | |
Sunni extremists triumphantly entering Baiji, about 100 miles from | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
the capital, and making the most of the military equipment they have | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
already seized from the Iraqi army. Baiji is home to Iraq's largest oil | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
refinery, and in the past 24 hours, there has been heavy fighting there. | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
We can't verify these images, but they appear to show smoke rising | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
from the direction of the refinery. We were taken by the government of | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
the West of Baghdad. To see their special forces in action. They were | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
carrying out vehicle checks. They appeared well armed and equipped ma | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
and said they were already battle hardened and ready to take on ISIS. | :03:07. | :03:14. | |
Yet, we fight them in Fallujah and some are. And here we are in | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
Baghdad. So any time, anywhere, we fight them. Do you think they will | :03:19. | :03:27. | |
come to Baghdad? No, they can't. This is a carefully choreographed | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
media opportunity by the Iraqi government to show off their best | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
troops, their special forces and to underline that they are in control | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
of the capital, Baghdad. But the reality is ISIS is still fighting in | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
large parts of the country. This is the contrast. These are the latest | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
volunteers for the Iraqi army. They are still learning to march and how | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
to fire their weapons. So far, government forces have proved unable | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
to halt the advance of the Sunni extremists. There is still evident | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
as well of a sectarian divide. They are chanting the name of the leading | :04:07. | :04:14. | |
Shia cleric. Iraq's prime minister, addressing the nation, still insists | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
that despite failings, they are united. TRANSLATION: Not every | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
setback is a defeat. This has allowed Iraq to recover national | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
unity. Not a single Iraqi would benefit from this crisis. Only the | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
terrorists will benefit, and those who trade in arms. Those who start | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
the Fire are burned by fire. But if anyone thought ISIS was a | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
disorganised, disparate group, who was some evidence to make them think | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
again. This is their annual report for 2013, a slick document that | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
boasts of over 1000 assassination and more than 500 car bombings. For | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
Iraq, it is now a fight for survival. Here, Kurdish militia are | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
seen taking on ISIS near the city of Kirkuk. Even if they can be | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
defeated, ISIS has already opened up a sectarian divide that might never | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
heal. Jonathan Beale, BBC News, Baghdad. | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
Jonathan Beale reports from Baghdad. Iran, which neighbours Iraq | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
and is predominantly Shiite Muslim, has vowed to protect holy Shiite | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
shrines from the ISIS Sunni Muslim extremists, which could dramatically | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
escalate the crisis. Our world affairs editor | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
John Simpson is in Baghdad for us. John, you've just returned | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
from the Iraqi town of Karbala, home to one of these shrines. | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
What did you find there? It is in fact home to the most | :05:29. | :05:39. | |
important of all the shrines. I spoke to the man in charge of the | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
general administration of the entire religious area. He is incidentally | :05:47. | :05:55. | |
the man who read out the order that anybody who wanted to volunteer to | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
go out to fight ISIS should do so, though he is a very senior man. | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
Never given an interview before. He was very nervous about the future of | :06:05. | :06:05. | |
this country, and was was very nervous about the future of | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
this country, and warning that the entire existence of the state of | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
Iraq is in danger and indeed, could endanger all the states around, | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
which of course would mean Iran as well. The US has confirmed tonight | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
that the Iraqi prime minister has requested air strikes. Yes. I think | :06:27. | :06:37. | |
that was inevitable. It looks like an attempt to force the Americans' | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
hand. President Obama is going through yet another one of these | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
lengthy discussion processes before he makes his announcement on what he | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
will do. I think it will be very hard now for him just to say, sorry, | :06:52. | :06:59. | |
we can't really help you. I think the Iraqi government is getting a | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
bit desperate. Last week, three of its battalions collapsed in the face | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
of the ISIS advance. They need something really good to stop ISIS | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
altogether. Thank you. We can talk now to our Deputy political editor | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
James Langdale in Downing Street. David Cameron pointed out in the | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
Commons today that in his view, Iraq poses a direct threat to us in the | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
UK? Yes, the point he was making was that in his view, it would be wrong | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
to think the conflict in Iraq has nothing to do with us. He said "the | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
people of that regime, namely ISIS, are planning to attack us here in | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
the UK". He said radicalised militants coming back from Iraq and | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
Syria now posed a greater threat to the UK than those coming back from | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
Afghanistan and Pakistan. He said police and intelligence forces were | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
looking at the issue. Was why he chaired a meeting of the National | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
Security Council here this afternoon to discuss the situation. That is | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
why his officials let us know today that already, 65 people have been | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
arrested here for what are called jihadi and Syria related activity. | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
Again, the prime minister made clear that no British involvement in any | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
military action will happen. Instead, he said there should be | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
more pressure on the Maliki regime to be more inclusive, and closed | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
down in these spaces in Iraq that are allowing extremism to spread. | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
What did you find there? Health bosses are warning | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
of a major funding gap looming in England's NHS budget. | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
The BBC understands that there is a projected deficit | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
of up to ?2 billion in the financial year beginning next April. | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
The Department of Health says it will continue to make the necessary | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
savings to meet rising demand. Here's our Health Editor, Hugh Pym. | :08:50. | :08:58. | |
Caring more for patients in their homes. One of the key aims of health | :08:59. | :09:07. | |
policy, including with Southwark and Lambeth integrated care. Christine | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
has multiple health problems. A home visit from a nurse is often the best | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
option, removing the need for expensive hospital treatment. In the | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
long run, shifting more resources into the community may save money, | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
but right now the NHS faces a financial squeeze. The NHS, and more | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
specifically hospitals, are caught between rapidly rising cost as they | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
have taken on more nurses to deal with the concerns about quality. | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
They have got rising drug costs, and pensions are going up. An estimate | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
by the health regulator Monitor undermines the scale of the | :09:45. | :09:53. | |
challenge. The annual budget is ?78 billion. Monitor says that for next | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
year, there is a funding gap of just over five early on. It says that | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
even after realistic efficiency savings, a deficit of ?1.6 billion | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
will remain. In the Commons, the prime minister was challenged over | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
the figures. The estimate is being made today are being made on the | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
basis that we have set challenges for the NHS in terms of making | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
efficiencies. After four years in government, they have met those | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
efficiency challenges every year under this government. And that | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
money has been ploughed back into better patient care in our NHS. The | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
big question now is whether further efficiency savings can be found to | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
cover next year's gap. The NHS is facing mounting financial | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
pressures, a budget which in effect has been frozen after taking account | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
of inflation and a growing population with increasing demands | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
for treatment. And even at this community-based trust, which is | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
doing its best to minimise hospital stays, there are financial | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
headaches. We are an organisation that has balanced our books and hit | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
our financial targets pretty much 14 years in a row. This year, we are | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
facing really serious financial challenges. And next year? And next | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
year, tougher still. Whatever the pressures, NHS do their best for | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
patients. A report by a think-tank, the Commonwealth fund, rated the NHS | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
as top amongst leading economies for safe and efficient care. Hugh Pym, | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
BBC News. Here's our Health Editor, Hugh Pym. | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
Poor white children are leaving school with worse qualifications | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
than equally deprived black and Asian pupils. | :11:33. | :11:34. | |
That's according to a group of MPs, who are calling for, | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
amongst other things, longer school days to encourage students to do | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
their homework in school. Our education correspondent | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
Gillian Hargreaves reports. Jack, who attends the North Shore | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
academy in Stockton on Tees, is one of the lucky ones. | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
He and his classmates are being taught | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
in a rapidly improving school. But white working class children | :11:57. | :11:58. | |
elsewhere are falling far behind pupils who are wealthier or | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
from different ethnic groups. Here, they believe it is caused | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
by a lack of confidence. Generations of families have not | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
achieved in the past, and those generations are being embedded. | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
No jobs, no aspirations, why go to school? | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
The underachievement of white working class children is, in the | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
words of MPs, real and persistent and can't be excused by poverty | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
alone. Just under a third achieved at least | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
five good GCSEs including English and maths last year, compared to | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
more than half of children from a poor Indian background | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
and over three quarters of underprivileged children | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
from Chinese families. There are no excuses, and we can | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
make a huge and transformative difference to poor children if we | :12:48. | :12:49. | |
improve the quality of schools, if we increase the incentives to | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
deploy the best teachers to provide education for the children from | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
the most challenging circumstances. This is one of the places where they | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
teach teachers. The Institute of Education attracts | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
students from all over the world. But are the teachers of tomorrow | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
prepared to move and work in some of our more disadvantaged communities? | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
I have a job starting in July in inner London. | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
The pay grade is much higher than in the rest of the UK. | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
It is not the be all and end all, but it is something teachers take | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
into consideration. The people training the teachers of | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
tomorrow said it is no good blaming parents if children fail at school. | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
I have worked in white working class communities | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
in secondary schools, and I have never come across a parent who | :13:35. | :13:42. | |
didn't want their child to do well. Parents want the best | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
for their children, and they have high aspirations for them. | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
It is the job of schools to work with parents to | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
make sure they support their children in the right way. | :13:53. | :13:54. | |
Being working class in England makes you more likely to | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
fail at school than in most developed countries, and | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
politicians say that must change. Gillian Hargreaves, BBC News. | :14:01. | :14:02. | |
in most Our top story this evening: | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
Extremists in Iraq battle government forces for the control of the | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
country's largest oil refinery. Still to come, the threat posed to | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
England's World Cup hopes by Uruguay's star striker. On BBC | :14:17. | :14:21. | |

cash away in a London park. And happy birthday to Lord's, the | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
home of cricket which is celebrating its 200th anniversary. | :14:30. | :14:43. | |
The global online trade in child sex abuse images is out | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
of control according to a senior US police officer. | :14:47. | :14:48. | |
The BBC was given exclusive access to what's known | :14:49. | :14:50. | |
as the Predator unit of US homeland security, which tracks paedophiles | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
not just in the United States, but all around the world. | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
Just this year, Operation Predator has led to 1,000 arrests across | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
Our Correspondent Angus Crawford has this special report which | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
The suspect was observed attaching child porn | :15:05. | :15:13. | |
A new day, another operation for this special unit of police | :15:14. | :15:21. | |
Their mission to arrest child abusers and stop the trade | :15:22. | :15:33. | |
Groggy and confused, a suspect is led away. | :15:34. | :15:46. | |
What officers have been doing is searching the address, | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
taking out hard drives, computers, and CDs. | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
They have already found a significant quantity | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
Some of the children in the pictures are as young as six years old. | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
Just a matter of how many tips we get | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
What does that tell you about the scale | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
But armed raids are only one of the tactics being used to tackle | :16:12. | :16:27. | |
Posing as as a paedophile to catch paedophiles, | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
this special agent is online and under cover, | :16:33. | :16:34. | |
offering children for sex to men and women across the world. | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
There is a rare time where I don't speak to someone in the UK. | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
It's more than 3,000 miles from the hi-tech cybercrime centre | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
in Washington DC to this place, Verwood, | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
But information from an agent in the US led to | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
Luscombe had asked the under cover agent to abuse | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
From his home, he sent obscene images as payment. | :17:04. | :17:12. | |
The US passed the evidence to Dorset police. | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
Luscombe was sent to prison for five years. | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
These are tapes of his police interview, played | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
In Los Angeles, an extraordinary computer programme | :17:27. | :17:45. | |
allows officers to monitor paedophiles across the world. | :17:46. | :17:47. | |
The software has never been filmed here before. | :17:48. | :17:49. | |
Each coloured dot another possible offender. | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
The software programme that we utilise is capturing information | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
of when images or videos of child pornography are uploaded or | :18:02. | :18:02. | |
So from what I can see just above Croydon there is a red dot. | :18:03. | :18:14. | |
That means there is an individual there, who we know | :18:15. | :18:16. | |
at this moment is swapping images of child sexual abuse. | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
And this style of policing may soon be coming to the UK. | :18:21. | :18:27. | |
earlier in the year to train more than 100 British detectives. | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
The message is clear - international co-operation means | :18:32. | :18:33. | |
In France railway workers are causing massive disruption | :18:34. | :18:49. | |
in a national strike that is now into an eighth day - | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
with no sign of a settlement. The whole country has been affected | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
and there are huge traffic jams in the country's largest cities. | :18:56. | :18:57. | |
From Paris our correspondent Christian Fraser reports. | :18:58. | :19:06. | |
The railway workers battling riot police in front of | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
the French Parliament. This began as a one-day strike. | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
It's into a second week, amid threats they will extend it to July. | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
It is the worst industrial action Francois Hollande has faced and | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
at the start of the tourist season. TRANSLATION: The president can say | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
what he likes, eventually he will back down. | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
They always do. Those trains that did roll into | :19:34. | :19:36. | |

with weary and angry commuters. TRANSLATION: | :19:40. | :19:40. | |

got to stop. This is new a battle | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
of wills between a deeply unpopular government and an equally | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
unpopular trade union movement. At a time of zero growth | :19:55. | :19:56. | |
and high unemployment, there is little sympathy for | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
protected public workers, least of all the train drivers, many of | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
whom will retire at the age of 50. The railway is 40 billion euros | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
in the red and that debt is rising. SNDF is desperate | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
for workers to come back. The strike has cost up | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
150 million euros already, said this spokeswoman. | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
It benefits no one. Of course, France is no stranger to | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
strikes, but every so often one goes to the distance and | :20:27. | :20:28. | |
with pressure from Brussels, Francois Hollande is yielding the | :20:29. | :20:30. | |
axe. He can little afford to to give | :20:31. | :20:39. | |
way at the first test on the street. There are just over 24 hours to go | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
before England take on Uruguay in their critical World Cup match. | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
After losing their opening game to Italy, England need | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
at least a draw if they're to have a realistic hope of progressing. | :20:49. | :20:50. | |
From Sao Paulo, our Chief Sports Correspondent Dan | :20:51. | :20:51. | |
Roan sent this report. England arrived at their Sao Paulo | :20:52. | :21:03. | |
base today for a match on which their World Cup campaign could | :21:04. | :21:05. | |
hinge. This is the man who could stand in their way, after more than | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
a month on the sidelines, Luis Suarez is fit for tomorrow's game | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
after missing his country's defeat to Costa Rica. One of the sport's | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
most controversial figures, the Liverpool striker has received wan | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
-- bans for racial abuse and then biting an opponent. But last season | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
he was the Premier League's most feared striker. They will have their | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
main man back for this game and he will play and we know from the | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
Premier League what a handful he is as a player and how many qualities | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
he brings to the game. So we will have our work cut out. If England | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
need inspiration after their defeat to Italy, they need look no further | :21:50. | :22:00. | |
than Mexico 86. Gary Lineker helping the team qualify the last time they | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
lost their opening World Cup match. He said the current squad must | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
believe in themselves. If England play in a similar manner with an | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
aggressive forward, attacking possession kind of game with the | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
likes of sterling going at people, I would be confident. Uruguay were | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
poor in the first game. I expect them to improve, but it is easier | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
going into a second match if you have lost like both teams have, have | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
you have played well rather than being pretty awful as Uruguay were. | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
All week that is the message that Roy Hodgson will have been | :22:37. | :22:38. | |
delivering to his players as they prepare for a game they dare not | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
lose. It will become clear soon whether they have listened and | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
learned. Dan is in Sao Paulo for us now. What is the mood in the England | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
camp, but I guess the answer must be publicly optimistic? I think so. | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
After all they were gallant losers in Manaus against Italy. So England | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
will draw confidence from that. Having said, they're playing an | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
experienced side in Uruguay tomorrow in Sao Paulo and they will be aware | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
that now it is results that count and should they lose here, then they | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
could be knocked out of the World Cup as early as Friday, would you | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
believe. So there will be tension and anxiety if they win of course | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
they will put themselves on target to qualify and a draw will probably | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
be enough should they beat Costa Rica. It is a sign of their | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
confidence that they're bound to keep the same team. They may tweak | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
it and move Wayne Rooney to his favoured position in the centre. But | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
in Liverpool's Suarez, they face an opponent who should be feared | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
whether he is coming back from injury or not. He is the Premier | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
League's pantomime villain, imagine if he helped knock England out? | :23:52. | :23:53. | |
Thank you. The golfer Rory McIlroy has chosen | :23:54. | :24:06. | |
to represent Ireland at the 2016 Rio Olympics and not Great Britain. | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
McIlroy is from Northern Ireland and had the option of playing | :24:10. | :24:11. | |
for either country. But the two-time major champion says | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
that playing for Ireland as a boy influenced his decision. | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
He also says he considered missing the games altogether because he | :24:18. | :24:19. | |
didn't want to offend anyone. The Duchess of Cambridge has visited | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
the newly restored Bletchley Park - home to the Second World War | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
code-breakers - where she opened a museum commemorating their work. | :24:26. | :24:27. | |
Katherine's paternal grandmother and great aunt worked alongside | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
each other at Bletchley's Hut 16. It cost ?8 million to restore | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
the home of the Government Code and Cypher School in Buckinghamshire. | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
After 25 years at the helm, Jeremy Paxman is presenting his | :24:40. | :24:40. | |
last edition of Newsnight tonight. last edition of Newsnight tonight. | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
Bews He's known | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
for his abrasive interviewing style which can strike fear into | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
the heart of many a politician. Tonight though presents | :24:54. | :24:55. | |
his biggest challenge yet - interviewing Boris Johnson | :24:56. | :24:57. | |
while cycling with him on a tandem. Lizo Mzimba reports. | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
Good evening. By this time tomorrow... He presented his first | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
Newsnight a quarter of a century ago. Now Jeremy Paxman is stepping | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
down. When he leaves the studio tonight it will mark the end of a | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
chapter. The show will be saying goodbye to its best known presenter, | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
the world of politics will be saying goodbye to one of the most | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
influential interviewers. Did you threat on the Reiverest overrule. | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
Did you threat on the overrule him. I have accounted for my decision. | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
Did you threat on the overrule him. Perhaps his most famous exchange | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
with the then Home Secretary Michael Howard. Many others faced a Jeremy | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
Paxman interrogation. How do you propose to use your time. #i789 ills | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
another occasion you don't want to talk to somebody who doesn't agree | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
with you. You don't pray together? No. Why do you smile? Because... Why | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
do you ask me the question. I'm trying to finds out how you feel | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
about it. I mean... Possibly. The view of Tony Blair's director of | :26:12. | :26:18. | |
communications. You knew if Jeremy Paxman was doing the programme you | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
needed to put more work into it. A minister who went into an veer | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
without having thought through what could go wrong I think you could | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
ends up in trouble. Even Newsnight's weather forecast got the Paxman | :26:34. | :26:40. | |
treatment. Here it is, Sean of the usual nonsense about wearing woolly | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
socks. And the second Newsnight weather forecast. Take an umbrella | :26:46. | :26:47. | |
with you tomorrow. This is weather forecast. Take an umbrella | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
idea. I have done war zones that are easier than this. Tonight we? Will | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
see him riding off into the sun set. Good night. Time for the weather | :26:58. | :27:06. | |
now. It has been a lovely day in northern parts, up into the mid to | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
high 20s. 27 degrees in the Perth area. Up o' into the mid 20s. | :27:12. | :27:18. | |
Tomorrow we will lose the heat and temperatures down by a few degrees, | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
but still warm. The cooler air coming in behind a cold front. There | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
won't be much weather on it, but it will introduce some fresher air and | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
the odd spot of rain down the east. But basically a dry night and | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
temperatures holding up well. That front could give the odd spot of | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
rain in the east of England. But otherwise a lot of dry weather. The | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
skies should brighten and you should see some sunshine. The odd shower | :27:47. | :27:52. | |
possible close to the south coast. That breeze will introduce cooler | :27:53. | :27:56. | |
air and temperatures will be lower in northern and central parts. Still | :27:57. | :28:02. | |
comfortable enough in the high teens. Further south it will be | :28:03. | :28:05. | |
warmer than today. Particularly south of the M4, where we could get | :28:06. | :28:12. | |
into the mid 20s and possibly up to 27 degrees in Somerset, Dorset and | :28:13. | :28:17. | |
Wiltshire and Hampshire. Of course we have the racing at Ascot. | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
Tomorrow night all eyes on the big match in Brazil. We have a cold | :28:22. | :28:27. | |
front moving in and it will be cool. Temperatures around 14 degrees for | :28:28. | :28:30. | |
the England players. It should suit them. And it is lore than it will be | :28:31. | :28:36. | |
back home tomorrow. On Friday, still coolish in the far north. But | :28:37. | :28:41. | |
otherwise a pleasant day. Plenty of dry and bright weather. The warmest | :28:42. | :28:46. | |
warm in the south and west. A lot of dry weather this weekend and some | :28:47. | :28:49. | |
sunshine. The highest temperatures in the | :28:50. | :28:50. |
