The Conservatives hail a historic victory, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
as they sweep Labour aside in the Copeland by-election. | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
They've got a lot to cheer about, it's the first by election win | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
for a party in power in a generation. | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
This is an astounding victory for the Conservative Party but also | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
You know Labour have held this seat since the 1930s. | :00:21. | :00:32. | |
Meanwhile Labour does hang on to its seat in Stoke Central, | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
It's a message about the economy, it's a message about jobs, | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
it is a message about this country, but above all, above all | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
it was a message that hope triumphs over fear. | :00:44. | :00:52. | |
We'll be asking how the political landscape is changed by today's | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
A nerve agent classed as a weapon of mass destruction is found | :00:55. | :01:04. | |
on the face of the murdered half-brother of | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
Claudio Ranieri speaks out after his sacking | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
Is there anything you would like to say to the fans? Yes, I am very sad | :01:12. | :01:24. | |
for them. I wish them all the best. And as Hollywood gears | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
up for its big night, we look at the art of | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
the Oscars acceptance speech. And coming up on BBC News, | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
Premier League managers give their reaction | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
to Claudio Ranieri's sacking. Jose Mourinho said he had been let | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
down by the selfishness of others. The Conservative Party has won | :01:37. | :02:01. | |
a historic by-election in government has taken a seat | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
in a by-election for 35 years, Theresa May said her party had | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
secured an outstanding victory. The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
described their defeat But he said he wouldn't | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
be standing down. Labour has held Copeland since 1935 | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
but the Conservatives overturned a Labour majority of more than two | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
and a half thousand. In a second by-election | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
in Stoke-on-Trent Central, Labour saw off a concerted challenge | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
from the Ukip leader Paul Nuttall - In a moment, we'll have a full | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
report from Stoke but first our Deputy Political Editor John Pienaar | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
is in Copeland. Well, like the storms yesterday, the | :02:44. | :02:58. | |
campaign circus and the big-name politicians have moved on but | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
yesterday's by-elections have left politics a little clearer than | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
before. Labour held off one big challenge and just may have seen of | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
the threat from Ukip in its heartland but losing here in Cumbria | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
hurt Labour and Jeremy Corbyn badly and tonight, Theresa May and the | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
Conservatives looked like a party which need fear no one. My report | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
contained some flash photography. Sometimes party leaders seem to grow | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
a little after a win. Theresa May 's victory appearance here today told | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
you that she had used the Tories winning Copeland to claim she could | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
reach people and parts of Britain no Tory leader has won Britain's | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
Margaret Thatcher. This truly is a government that is working for | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
everyone and for every part of the country. As for the idea that the | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
Tories could win two B, that the government needs good opposition, | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
try telling them that or her. Does Britain need a stronger opposition | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
to hold you to account over Brexit? The opposition will do what they | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
will do and what I am concerned about is what the Conservative | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
government does. We are working for a country that truly works for | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
everyone not just the privileged few. That is the message that people | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
here have heard. Did you think that Copeland would vote Tory? No. We | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
could dream of it. I have been a councillor for 20 something years | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
and we dreamt one day... Nothing like this has ever happened. The | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
Conservative Party candidate, 13,000, 748. | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. It was a big win. The first Win in a by-election | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
by any government over its opposition in 35 years and in a | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
place that has been Labour since 1935. It has been very clear, | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
talking to people throughout this campaign that Jeremy Corbyn does not | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
represent them. And this is Tory territory now, Labour folk do not | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
like it and some feel they no reason why, Copeland depends on Sellafield | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
and Jeremy Corbyn has opposed nuclear power. The nuclear probably | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
had quite a lot to do with it because Jeremy Corbyn said he did | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
not want it and maybe he did do a U-turn on that, but knows. The men | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
have done no good when they have been prime ministers, so maybe a | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
changes everything. No hope for Labour under Jeremy Corbyn? I don't | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
think so. I have to back him because I am a Labour man. I think it is | :05:29. | :05:37. | |
hopeless. Still can't been a safe seat for Labour but Jeremy Corbyn | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
turned up he to celebrate holding out against Ukip. It is a message | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
about the economy, about jobs, about this country but above all, it was a | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
message that hope triumphs over fear. What about Copeland? He had | :05:53. | :06:00. | |
already been dogged by that defeat all day. Our party mentorship is in | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
good heart, it is very large and strong and we will be out again | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
tomorrow and every other day campaigning to get the message | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
across social justice in Britain. Yet the team Ukip in Stoke was a big | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
relief to Labour. And a painful blow to Ukip and it's defeated candidate | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
and leader. This seat was number 72 on our hit list, a lot more will | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
happen, there is a lot more to come from us, we are not going anywhere, | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
I am not going anywhere so therefore, we move on and our time | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
will come. Paul Nuttall may not be on his way out as leader but his | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
campaign wobbled and then failed and the questions being raised when Ukip | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
lost Nigel Farage, did it lose its way? Those are beautiful! Just now | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
Theresa May looks the biggest winner, ruling her party against | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
weakened and divided opponents with an assurance that is almost regal. | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
Well done indeed. I will see you on Monday. Back to business means back | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
to Brexit and there is nothing easy about that. John Pienaar, BBC News, | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
Copeland. As John mentioned, it wasn't just | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
Labour who suffered defeat in yesterday's by-elections, | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
Ukip struggled too. A fact particularly marked in Stoke | :07:11. | :07:11. | |
on Trent, which had voted So, what next for Ukip | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
and their leader Paul Nuttall? Alex Forsyth is in Stoke | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
for us this evening. This should have been prime Ukip | :07:18. | :07:31. | |
territory, almost 70% of the residence of Stoke voted to leave | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
the EU during the referendum, Labour's candidate in this | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
by-election backed Remain but still Ukip came second to him. They did | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
improve on their performance in the General Election but the party fell | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
far short of the significant breakthrough it had hoped for. The | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
morning after a hard-fought campaign brought dawning realisation for a | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
Ukip that they had been rejected by voters. The party had hoped for a | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
big win. In Stoke more than two thirds of people voted to leave the | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
EU but even where Brexit proved so popular, Ukip suffered defeat. | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
People may have voted Brexit but it does not mean it Ukip. No, it does | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
not and that is what Ukip is all about, Brexit. They have got no | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
policies whatsoever whereas Labour had. Stoke has long been a Labour | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
stronghold, a collection of West Midlands towns with a rich | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
industrial heritage. A prime target for the Ukip leader who is keen to | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
prove that the party can win over working people. But Paul Nuttall had | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
a tough campaign, forced to quell claims he had lost close friends at | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
Hillsborough. Senior figures say that did play a part but insist he | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
is still the right man to lead Ukip. Was this a Ukip failure or a Paul | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
Nuttall failure? This is a party failure. It is a party failure. | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
Winning by-elections like this takes time and people have to get used to | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
you as a party. You have been around for years! Yes, focused on one | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
single issue, getting Britain out of the European union and we are now | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
evolving into something bigger and we need to get that across to the | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
electorate. This was a significant defeat, instead of proving it can | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
win over disillusioned Labour voters, it is less struggling to | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
explain what it stands for beyond Brexit. Its former leaders | :09:23. | :09:45. | |
said the campaign failed to cut through on key issues. There is a | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
debate in Ukip as to how strong we should be on the immigration issue. | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
I feel we should own it. We will have to look at that and think. | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
Worry tough enough and clear enough. In Stoke, local Ukip members admit | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
that the party has to broaden its appeal, particularly given that the | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
Conservatives in government have promised to deliver Brexit. There is | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
no point in trying to dress up as reasonable what was a defeat. | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
Compared with expectations. We need to press on. Our number one target | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
was to get the UK out of the European union, that is what we | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
campaign for, but that was only the first call, we have to move on and | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
get our message across to people on issues other than the European | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
Union. Having failed to do that here in Stoke, Ukip is once again | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
searching for direction. Alex Forsyth, BBC News, Stoke-on-Trent. | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
Our Deputy Political Editor John Pienaar is in Copeland this evening. | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
Where do today's by-election results leave the main parties? | :10:29. | :10:38. | |
Comparisons between Theresa May and Margaret Thatcher are very easily | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
made and very easily overblown but there are some comparisons to be | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
made. The ambition to reach out to blue-collar workers and voters and | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
winning in Copeland backed up by some very rosy opinion polls of late | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
will encourage some Conservatives to believe that that high ambition may | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
not be unattainable. For Labour, for Jeremy Corbyn and those around him, | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
there will be relieved that they have seen of this potentially | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
existential threat from Ukip, but that is a long way from becoming a | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
potential party of government. Now, that is a lot to do right there. | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
Those who are opposed to Jeremy Corbyn in his party believes there | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
is no hope while he is leader and they see the party, even though they | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
may hang on to strongholds in the north and in the Midlands and | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
elsewhere, carrying on, simply too weak to die and quite unable to win | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
an election. In other words carrying on in a sort of twilight zone, in a | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
perpetual state of opposition. John, many thanks. | :11:47. | :11:47. | |
A woman who died after being hit by debris in Wolverhampton city | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
centre during yesterday's storm has been named as Tahnie Martin. | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
Storm Doris brought winds of nearly 100 miles per hour. | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
It caused power cuts and travel chaos as flights were grounded | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
A man has been jailed for six years for killing an innocent bystander | :12:01. | :12:09. | |
with a single punch in an unprovoked attack. Trevor Timon, who's 31, | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
admitted the manslaughter of Oliver Dearlove in Blackheath | :12:13. | :12:14. | |
in south-east London last August, but was cleared of murder. | :12:15. | :12:16. | |
The judge said the "senseless" attack had caused "untold misery" | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
Police in Malaysia say a highly toxic nerve agent called VX has been | :12:20. | :12:30. | |
found on the face of Kim Jong Nam- the murdered half brother | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
Mr Kim died last week after two women accosted him briefly | :12:34. | :12:41. | |
in a check-in hall at an airport in Kuala Lumpur. | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
The nerve agent, VX, is classified as a weapon of mass | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
Our correspondent Rupert Wingfield-Hayes reports | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
Last week at Kuala Lumpur airport someone chose to attack Kim Jong Nam | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
in full view of at least half a dozen CCTV cameras. | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
It was a very deliberate and very public act of violence. | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
It is the VX nerve agent which is a chemical weapon. | :13:07. | :13:20. | |
Kim Jong Nam was walking across this busy departures hall last week | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
Now we know what they choose to kill him, VX, one of the most | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
Just a tiny drop, one hundredth of a gram would have | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
VX is also banned under international convention yet someone | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
decided to use it here in the midst of this international airport. | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
VX is colourless and odourless with the feel of engine oil. | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
It is so deadly it is classified by the United Nations as a weapon | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
Symptoms include coughing, shortness of breath, | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
South Korea says the North started producing chemical weapons | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
in the 1980s and has up to 5000 tonnes of stocks. | :14:03. | :14:10. | |
North Korea's young dictator Kim Jong Un already | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
Some think he is now sending a chilling new message, | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
by killing his older brother with the world's | :14:19. | :14:20. | |
What they have demonstrated is that they do have a weapon | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
of mass destruction, VX, which has the potential to kill | :14:26. | :14:27. | |
They have shown that they want to be part of the weapons | :14:28. | :14:35. | |
of mass destruction club and that they should | :14:36. | :14:37. | |
And if we do nothing, then we're going to be | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
This is probably far more dangerous than the nuclear weapons programme | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
which has been much vaunted in public in the last 12 months. | :14:48. | :14:55. | |
The more we learn, the more bizarre this story becomes. | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
This is one of the alleged assassins taking part | :14:59. | :15:00. | |
Nothing about her suggests she could be a killer. | :15:01. | :15:10. | |
About the only thing we know for sure is that Kim Jong Nam must | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
His body convulsed, his lungs gasping for air. | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
Rupert Wingfield-Hayes, BBC News, in Kuala Lumpur. | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
Our top story this evening - the Prime Minister declares | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
the Copeland by-election a historic victory - as they | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
I am in Hollywood among the setup for the Oscars where it could be the | :15:36. | :15:49. | |
speeches and not the films that get everybody talking. | :15:50. | :15:50. | |
And later in the hour on Inside Six Nations on BBC News, | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
we are here in Edinburgh as we preview all of | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
the crunch matches in Week 3 of the Championship. | :15:56. | :16:09. | |
Claudio Ranieri has this afternoon spoken about his abrupt | :16:10. | :16:11. | |
sacking by Leicester - saying "yesterday my dream died." | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
Ranieri led Leicester to the Premier League title | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
But he was dismissed last night after a string of poor results that | :16:18. | :16:25. | |
has left the side just one point above the relegation zone. | :16:26. | :16:27. | |
Our Sports Editor Dan Roan reports from Leicester. | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
At least there is still some loyalty here in Leicester. Claudio Ranieri | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
remained in demand today as both he and the city came to terms with his | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
dismissal. The miracle worker out of work. I am very sad for them. I wish | :16:43. | :16:50. | |
them all the best. Emotions among the neighbours were high. It is a | :16:51. | :17:00. | |
disgrace. Claudio Ranieri! Having masterminded the least likely and | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
most popular triumph ever seen in the Premier League, the Italian has | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
become the victim of his most controversial sacking. Nine months | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
ago, Ranieri was the toast of Leicester. Cheers! The phase has | :17:12. | :17:19. | |
long gone. Today's press conference flat and the man who stood alongside | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
Ranieri in the dugout, left to describe his mood. A bit shocked as | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
we all were but his tone was no different. Very level-headed | :17:29. | :17:36. | |
interns, that is football. Can you say he hadn't lost some parts of the | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
dressing room? It is pure speculation, there was a lot of | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
frustration because of results but he had lost the dressing room. The | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
ruthlessness of the dismissal have shocked those who have spent a | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
lifetime in the game. Former Leicester star Gary Lineker paid a | :17:53. | :18:02. | |
very public ... Doubting his success and he is angry. To toss that all | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
away on a premature decision and a disloyal and in many ways, a lack of | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
gratitude, is quite gobsmacking. I am not ashamed to say that last | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
night when I heard the news, I shed a tear for Claudio Ranieri, for | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
football and my club. Ranieri's barely believable triumph won | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
admirers across the world but since then, the euphoria has evaporated | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
and the champions are languishing one point from the relegation zone. | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
The owners said their club was in crisis and with survival on the | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
line, decided to act. The fans are divided. 50% of the fans wanted him | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
sacked because of the results but I would have kept him. Disgusting, | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
after what he did last year. There were former rivals talking also. | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
This decision I think has everyone in football united. Because it is | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
something very difficult to accept, but at the same time, it is good for | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
all of us to realise how football is. It wasn't long ago Ranieri | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
helped bring this city to a standstill and many wanted him to | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
stay forever. The journey has ended faster than anyone imagined. Tonight | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
in a statement, Claudio Ranieri said his dream had died. Leicester City | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
have to look forward, just 13 games left in order to salvage their | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
Premier League status. Even if they manage to do it, one sense is that | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
this sacking will forever be seen as a symbol of something rather | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
unsavoury in the modern game and his departure from the world of sport | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
will be seen as having lost something. | :19:43. | :19:51. | |
A former suspect in connection with the murder of black teenager Stephen | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
Lawrence is facing jail for his role in a ?4 million drugs plot. | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
Neil Acourt is due to be sentenced at Kingston Crown Court alongside | :20:02. | :20:03. | |

The head of the Unite union, Len McCluskey has described | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
a meeting with the chief executive of the French car giant PSA Group | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
PSA - which makes Peugeot and Citroen cars - | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
is in talks to take control of Vauxhall and Opel. | :20:18. | :20:19. | |
That's raised concerns about the future of Vauxhall's | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
factories at Ellesmere Port and Luton, which employ | :20:22. | :20:23. | |
Kenneth Noye, who's serving a life sentence for murdering a man | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
in a road-rage attack, has won a High Court battle | :20:31. | :20:32. | |
over whether he gets moved to an open prison. | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
Noye, who's 69, stabbed a man to death in 1996 on the M25 in Kent. | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
He'd argued that it was unfair and irrational not to allow him | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
Past problems are continuing to haunt the Royal Bank of Scotland. | :20:43. | :20:51. | |
The bank - which is over 70% owned by the government - | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
warned today that it made a loss of nearly ?7 billion last year. | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
That's three times more than the loss they made the year before. | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
Our Business Editor Simon Jack takes a look at what's happening at RBS. | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
Not so much a lost decade as a decade of losses. | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
Since then, 4 billion, 1 billion, 2 billion, | :21:11. | :21:17. | |
6 billion, 9 billion, 3 billion, 2 billion and today, 7 billion. | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
For the ninth time in a row, fines and compensation for sins | :21:22. | :21:29. | |
of the past have laid waste to any profits made and further | :21:30. | :21:31. | |
I haven't put a number out and I won't put a number out. | :21:32. | :21:40. | |
My view is always talk to our people first, whether affected, | :21:41. | :21:42. | |
and there will be job cuts in this organisation. | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
There has to be given that over the next four years it will take | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
?2 billion of cost out of this organisation to reshape it, | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
But that is not going to happen quite yet. | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
It is not over yet, there is a really big fine | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
There is going to be more job losses but that will be coming | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
across the banking industry as digitalisation takes place. | :22:07. | :22:08. | |
But it is hiding a pretty decent performance from | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
the high street bank. But unfortunately, it is going | :22:12. | :22:13. | |
to take some time before that really shines through. | :22:14. | :22:15. | |
I stood right here in 2008, I did not expect to still be | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
here in 2017 reporting on yet another multi-billion pound loss. | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
It was not supposed to take this long to fix and the fact that it has | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
shows that no one really knew just how big a mess the world's | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
biggest bank at the time had got itself into. | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
In 2008, the government of today announced an emergency | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
?45 billion bailout to prevent a complete collapse. | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
Could things have been done differently? | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
With the benefit of hindsight, it should have been fully nationalised, | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
then broken up and used in the national interest. | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
But the taxpayer is now stuck with the losses and it will be some | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
years before it can be returned in a way that taxpayers | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
The bank is much healthier today but with more losses yet to come, | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
it seems certain we will be marking a full decade in the red | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
This Sunday, the film industry's great and good will celebrate | :23:09. | :23:16. | |
La La Land - a tribute to Hollywood itself - | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
is widely expected to sweep the board. | :23:23. | :23:24. | |
The ceremony is no stranger to controversy, and this year is set | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
Our Arts Editor Will Gompertz is in Los Angeles and joins us | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
It is all being put together at the moment for Sunday's Oscar show which | :23:33. | :23:45. | |
I think might be one of the most interesting in modern times. Not | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
just because of the films but because of the speeches. In these | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
uncertain times across the world, particularly in America, what will | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
winners choose to say on this most public of stages about the world in | :23:58. | :24:06. | |
which their films reflect? In the past, in troubled times, there have | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
been some really good speeches and some real howlers. I have been | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
finding out what it takes to make a really great winners Oscars speech. | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
Once upon a time, going up to collect your Oscar | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
You shook a hand, smiled politely and maybe offered a brief remark. | :24:27. | :24:33. | |
Thank you with all my heart. Marlon Brando for the Godfather. | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
But then Marlon Brando upped the speech-making game in 1973, | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
And asking a Native American to explain why. | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
He very regretfully cannot accept this very generous award. And the | :24:48. | :24:57. | |
reasons for this being, the treatment of American Indian is | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
today, by the film industry. Excuse me. | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
this could be a vintage year for memorable Oscar speeches. | :25:05. | :25:11. | |
If those making them follow the rules. | :25:12. | :25:13. | |
First of all, you have to start with the hallmarks of what makes | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
So you have to speak with authenticity, you have | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
to speak from the heart, you have to connect to the material | :25:23. | :25:25. | |
I sincerely hope I will always be a credit to my race and to the motion | :25:26. | :25:35. | |
picture industry. My heart is too full to tell you just how I feel and | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
may I say thank you and God bless. to pick up one of these on Sunday | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
night - except theirs won't be made out of chocolate - | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
is being told to keep their speech down to 45 seconds. | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
It is, though, a live show, so theoretically, | :25:50. | :25:51. | |
they could bang on forever. Except the organisers | :25:52. | :25:53. | |
have a humiliating weapon they can deploy, which is to ask the band | :25:54. | :25:56. | |
to strike up and drown It is an awful feeling | :25:57. | :25:58. | |
because I don't make that The director will say | :25:59. | :26:06. | |
to me, OK, get him off. Your time is up, thank you very | :26:07. | :26:14. | |
much! A classic example of how not to do | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
it and that would be Michael Moore's example when he received | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
the Best Documentary award for Bowling for Columbine. | :26:22. | :26:23. | |
There was a great amount of negativity about George Bush | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
who was the President at the time. His attack, though, was so personal | :26:27. | :26:28. | |
and so clearly biased that he was almost booed off | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
the stage, even though nothing This year, the Academy has | :26:32. | :26:33. | |
asked winners to deliver a heartfelt memorable message. | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
That or possibly face the indignity of hearing | :26:38. | :26:40. | |
the dreaded wrap it up music. Time for a look at the weather. | :26:41. | :26:49. | |
Here's Tomasz Schafernaker. Let's talk with a spectacular blue | :26:50. | :27:07. | |
sky. This is from Cornwall today. The weekend, different story, it | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
will probably look a little like the sky behind me. Wind and rain on the | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
way but nothing like what we had yesterday. Looking pretty mixed this | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
weekend. This is the sunshine and fine weather from early on but now, | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
the clouds invading parts of the UK. Some rain has already moved through | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
and it is pretty downhill as far as the weekend is concerned. Don't | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
expect any blue skies through Saturday or Sunday. Rain splashing | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
through and by the end of the night, dribs and drabs of rain anywhere and | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
with that mild south westerly wind, so one good aspect. The rain coming | :27:44. | :27:50. | |
through and one area I want to point out through this weekend is actually | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
north-western areas of the UK. There will be rain in other parts of the | :27:55. | :27:59. | |
country on and off and the further south and south east you are, the | :28:00. | :28:03. | |
light it will be, but it is around this area, we will see bouts of rain | :28:04. | :28:07. | |
waxing and waning through the weekend. There could be a little bit | :28:08. | :28:17. | |
of flooding. By the end of Saturday, we could have a little bit of | :28:18. | :28:24. | |
brightness across Scotland and Northern Ireland. And this is | :28:25. | :28:28. | |
Saturday, it will be windy around the coast at times. Sunday will get | :28:29. | :28:32. | |
very windy around these western approaches around the coasts of | :28:33. | :28:38. | |
Wales. Slightly better, the south-east, so a bit of sunshine. A | :28:39. | :28:40. | |
better weekend but not ideal. That's all from the BBC News at Six | :28:41. | :28:47. | |
- so it's goodbye from me - | :28:48. | :28:50. |
