Egypt's military says sorry for the deaths of protestors in the past | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
week's unrest and insists that Monday's parliamentary elections | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
will go ahead. But some protestors are not convinced and are are | :00:23. | :00:30. | |

but beneath the apparent unity, big differences exist between France | :00:33. | :00:42. | |
and Germany on how to stabilise the euro. The Harry Potter author JK | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
Rowling tells the inquiry into UK media ethics that press intrusion | :00:44. | :00:54. | |
hounded her out of her home. Also coming up in the programme... We | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
have a special report from the Syrian/ Turkish border. How safe | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
are Syrian anti-government protestors who've crossed into | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
Turkey? The assumption is that agents of Syrian intelligence were | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
waiting for him, grabbed him and perhaps took him back over the | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
Syrian border. Most people round here think that he's been killed | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
already. And the first novel of beat generation writer Jack Kerouac | :01:18. | :01:28. | |
:01:28. | :01:39. | ||
is finally published more than 40 Hello and welcome. After six days | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
of violence in which nearly 40 people have died, Egypt's ruling | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
military has insisted that parliamentary elections will go | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
ahead as planned on Monday. But protestors in Cairo's Tahrir Square, | :01:47. | :01:56. | |
:01:57. | :01:57. | ||
the symbolic heart of the Egyptian revolution, are not placated. | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
Although a truce has been brokered by Muslim clerics, there are still | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
large crowds in the square demanding the military leadership | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
step down immediately. Jon Leyne reports from Cairo. The state of | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
Egypt four days before what should be a triumphant celebration of | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
democracy. The troops on the streets, barbed-wire surrounds the | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
Interior Ministry. Overnight there was the latest in a series of | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
truces between police and protesters. But nobody is | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
optimistic it will hold. On state TV two generals appeared. For the | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
first time they offered an apology for the deaths of protesters. They | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
insisted they were not like the former regime, they did not want to | :02:37. | :02:46. | |
hold on to power. But in the city of Ismailiyah, they sent tanks out | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
during the night as demonstrations continued across Egypt. The | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
opposition claimed live fire is now being used against them, the army | :02:55. | :03:02. | |
firmly deny they had shot any protesters. After last night's | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
apology, two more generals appear today to insist elections on Monday | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
will go ahead. TRANSLATION: We will not relinquish power because of a | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
slogan chanting crowd. Being in power is not a blessing, it is a | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
curse. Meanwhile, parliamentary elections are still scheduled for | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
Monday. There is almost no campaigning going on, but the bosom | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
but there had are among the parties who do want them to happen -- of | :03:30. | :03:38. | |
the Muslim Brotherhood. -- the Muslim Brotherhood. We need can't, | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
we need to bring the quietness back to Egypt because we are losing | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
money every day. In Tahrir Square there are mixed opinions about the | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
election but determination that they won the generals to go and | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
hand over power to a civilian government. The generals have | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
apologised but they also made it clear they are not about to give up | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
power. The crowds here have not been pacified by anything they have | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
heard, they made it clear they are not going anywhere either. We could | :04:06. | :04:14. | |
be in for a long stalemate. Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, which expects | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
to do well in the election, says next Monday's poll must go ahead. | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
The group is the largest to be represented in the election. It's | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
also Egypt's oldest and largest Islamist organisation and has | :04:27. | :04:34. | |
influenced similar movements across the Arab world. In previous | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
elections, the group ran candidates as independents to get round a ban | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
on religious parties. In 2005, its candidates won 88 seats, a fifth of | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
the total, and far outstripping the legal opposition, which won only 14 | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
seats. After the fall of President Mubarak, the group was legalised. | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
And standing as the Freedom and Justice Party, it's said it will | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
contest up to half the seats in next week's elections. Joining us | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
now from Cairo is Kamal Al Helbawy, spokesperson for the Muslim | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
Brotherhood. Is it fair to say the Muslim brothers have done a deal | :05:10. | :05:20. | |
with the military? I do believe that the Muslim Brotherhood played | :05:20. | :05:30. | |
:05:30. | :05:30. | ||
the role the area efficiently with the military and with the people of | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
Egypt. Now they are coming to elections, the people understand | :05:34. | :05:42. | |
they are the most organised group in Egypt and they are heading to | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
get there with other is a must so at least 50 per cent of the vote. | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
Nobody disputes you will have a strong showing but the specific | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
question is the protesters out in Tahrir Square now, many of them | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
secularists, say they are concerned a new transitional government may | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
have to answer to the military in some way. What is your view on the | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
role of the military now in Egypt? Should it be enshrined in any new | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
constitution? I believe the military role should be shrinking | :06:17. | :06:24. | |
in the future and the more participation from the | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
revolutionary and civilian powers in growing the future and shaping | :06:28. | :06:36. | |
the future of Egypt, not only in implementation. I wrote and spoke | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
on Arabic Television about the role in the future and the co-operation | :06:42. | :06:49. | |
between the revolutionary and the army. And at least 19 people from | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
the revolutionary should be collected who was quite genuine and | :06:53. | :07:01. | |
trusted by the people to participate in working for the | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
future and resolutions with the military council and not to leave | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
all the burden on the shoulders of the Military Council as happened | :07:11. | :07:18. | |
during the last 10 months since the fall of Mubarak. The military have | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
said they will hand over to win national salvation government. Who, | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
in your view, would be right to lead that government? We've heard | :07:29. | :07:39. | |
:07:39. | :07:39. | ||
different names. Who would be acceptable to you? For me every one | :07:39. | :07:48. | |
of them is acceptable because it is a transition period and it will not | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
continue more than a few months and it will be very busy but I do | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
believe any potential candidate, if they accepted to play the role of | :07:59. | :08:08. | |
the transitional period to lead this government, they will have no | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
role to play in the future of Egypt, or participate in elections as | :08:11. | :08:20. | |
candidates. And remove so can lead but will have no right to | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
participate in the presidential elections. Another name was | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
mentioned but I think he did not approve that and they wanted to | :08:30. | :08:40. | |
:08:40. | :08:45. | ||
stay behind until the presidential The leaders of France and Germany | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
are proposing changes to the European Union treaties to tighten | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
control over the eurozone. President Sarkozy and the German | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
Chancellor Angela Merkel also expressed their strong support for | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
Italy's interim prime minister, Mario Monti, after the three met in | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
Strasbourg today. France and Germany are keen to present a | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
united front, however, they disagree on the role of the | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
European Central Bank in helping stabilise the eurozone. From | :09:02. | :09:12. | |
:09:12. | :09:19. | ||
Or on the Franco-German border in a city synonymous with the idea of | :09:19. | :09:26. | |
European unity -- unity, they want to send a message to the markets | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
that Italy is in safe hands and has the support of its allies. But what | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
is this new triumvirate going to do to try to present the eurozone | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
crisis spinning out of control? TRANSLATION: Faced with the gravity | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
of the situation we have told Mario Monti that France and Germany will | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
propose changes to the treaty over the next few days to improve | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
eurozone confidence. We hope Italy will join us. The idea of a treaty | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
change will not be welcomed by everyone. Many are focusing on | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
trying to persuade Germany to ease its opposition to allow the | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
European Central Bank to use it unlimited firepower to protect | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
countries which are struggling to service their debts. No sign yet of | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
Mrs Merkel budging. TRANSLATION: Were modifying the | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
treaty we are talking about fiscal union, political co-operation, it | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
is a different story, we have proposals, which have nothing to do | :10:26. | :10:33. | |
with the ECB. Plenty for Mario Monti to ponder as he embarks on | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
the enormous task of trying to turn the Italian economy around. His | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
country is too big to fail but too big to bail. The eurozone needs him | :10:42. | :10:49. | |
to deliver. TRANSLATION: We have shared our | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
thoughts on this and we agree the health of the eurozone his priority. | :10:52. | :10:59. | |
It is fundamental duras days, that the eurozone integrate. -- the euro | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
stays. They will meet again in Rome and then there is another Euro- | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
summit in a couple of weeks amid a feeling that time is beginning to | :11:07. | :11:17. | |
:11:17. | :11:22. | ||
run out. Now a look at some of the days other news... -- day's. The | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
Yemeni president may have signed a deal to step down, but the violence | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
continues in the capital Sanaa. At least five people were killed and | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
several wounded when gunmen loyal to the president opened fire on | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
thousands of protesters objecting to his being given immunity from | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
prosecution. President Saleh has condemned the attacks and ordered | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
an investigation into the violence. Large international supermarket | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
chains like Tesco and Walmart can now set up shop in India following | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
a ruling by the government. Supporters of the move say it will | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
increase competition and quality while reducing prices. Opponents | :11:50. | :11:57. | |
believe it will squeeze out India's smaller and poorer traders. The | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
leaders of Hamas and Fatah say they have narrowed their differences | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
after talks in Cairo. The work in session between Mahmoud Abbas and | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
the political leader of Hamas was the first since Hamas took control | :12:12. | :12:19. | |
of Gaza in 2007, leaving Fatah with just the West Bank to control. | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
American Samoa's football team have won their first international match | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
after 30 consecutive defeat. They beat Tonga in their first | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
qualifying match for the 2014 World Cup. In his previous 13 matches | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
they conceded 229 goals, scored just 12 and suffered a world record | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
31-0 defeat to Australia in a World Cup qualifier 10 years ago. They | :12:44. | :12:51. | |
have done well now. A succession of the rich and famous, like the actor | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
Hugh Grant, have been appearing before the Leveson Inquiry into | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
media ethics here in London this week. Today the Harry Potter author, | :12:58. | :13:06. | |
JK Rowling, was the main witness at the inquiry. She told the committee | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
that press intrusion into her personal life was so great that she | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
felt she was hounded out of her first home. The government | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
appointed Lord Leveson to carry out the inquiry into media practices | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
after a phone and e mail hacking standard engulfed newspapers here, | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
especially in the Rupert Murdoch news empire. Nicholas Witchell has | :13:23. | :13:31. | |
more. She has written books which have captivated millions, yet for | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
JK Rowling there is an absolute rule, that heroin children are | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
entitled to complete privacy. Unfortunately as she told the | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
inquiry... A significant section of press in my view have seen it | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
almost as a challenge. Many times she said she felt trapped at home | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
by photographers. She recalled an incident after the birth of her | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
son... We were besieged for one week, then I believe the | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
photographers had gone. For the first time in a week I was able to | :14:04. | :14:11. | |
get out of the house with my daughter and the baby. We were | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
long-nosed, on this occasion I saw the photographer taking the picture | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
from across the street, I pulled my daughter behind me because it | :14:17. | :14:25. | |
ignored. I rather absurdly gave chase, how I thought I could out | :14:25. | :14:32. | |
run a twentysomething a paparazzo while pushing a buggy... My | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
daughter was saying calm down, don't be silly, it does not matter. | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
But it mattered hugely to meet. Much of the media did excellent | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
work, she said, but there was a section which seemed to have few | :14:42. | :14:49. | |
scruples. The attitude seems to be utterly Cavalier. In difference. | :14:49. | :14:57. | |
What does it matter? You are famous. You're asking for it. JK Rowling | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
said if you fought back again some papers you could expect retribution. | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
In the case of the actress Sienna Miller, the risk could amount to | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
physical danger. She told the inquiry how, for years, she had | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
faced almost daily pursued by photographers. She said at times it | :15:14. | :15:24. | |
I would find myself at 21 running down the street at midnight with | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
ten big men chasing me and the fact they had cameras in their hands | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
meant that was legal, but if you take them away, you have a pack of | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
men chasing a woman and that's a very intimidating situation to be | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
in. Photographers seemed to know her movements and reporters her | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
secrets. They accused her family of leaking information. Her phone was | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
being hacked, in fact. When she finally saw the notes kept by Glenn | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
Mulcaire, this is what she found. Dates referring to very personal | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
things within my life. All my telephone numbers, the three I had | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
changed in three months and my access numbers, PIN numbers and | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
password for my e-mail that was later used to hack it. The whole | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
experience, she said, had created distrust and anxiety and left her | :16:17. | :16:27. | |
feeling violated. The Arab League has given Syria one day to agree to | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
allow an observer mission into the country or face sanctions. The | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
country's been suspended from the Arab League because of a violent | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
crackdown against anti-Government protesters. The leader of the | :16:37. | :16:44. | |
opposition Free Syrian Army has told the BBC that the President's | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
regime will fall soon. The colonel has given a rare interview to our | :16:49. | :16:55. | |
editor John Simpson, who is in south-east turkey. -- Turkey. The | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
border between Turkey on this side and Syria, a closed country on the | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
brink of civil war. It looks quiet enough, but refugees slip across | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
all the time, among them soldiers who have rebelled against the | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
Syrian Government. But even though they are under Turkish protection | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
now, they are not necessarily safe. There are seven refugee camps in | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
this area. Many of the people who now live in them have been here for | :17:23. | :17:30. | |
several months. A senior Syrian officer, who defected, lived here | :17:30. | :17:36. | |
until late September. Then he went out by bus to do some shopping in | :17:36. | :17:45. | |
the nearby town. Somewhere round here the colonel disappeared. The | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
assumption is that agents of Syrian intelligence were waiting for him, | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
grabbed hum, and perhaps took him back over the Syrian border. Most | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
people around here think that he's been killed already. Syrian | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
refugees still come here to shop, but they tend to be more wary now. | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
Some don't want to show their faces on camera. They all seem to know | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
about the disappearance of the colonel. The Turkishing police keep | :18:15. | :18:25. | |
an eye on us. Though, in the end, they let us go on filming. And the | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
Turkish army makes it hard to contact the leader the the Syrian | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
rebels, who has come across the border. He and all the defecting | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
soldiers are held in this one camp. While we were filming the pictures | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
of the soldiers, the Turkish army came and arrested us and a judge | :18:42. | :18:49. | |
had to get us freed. The only way we could interview the colonel was | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
via the internet. It was all done very much at the last minute and it | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
was pretty bizarre. We set up in a nearby farmyard and the chief of | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
the Free Syrian Army appeared. The first time he's been interviewed on | :19:03. | :19:12. | |
camera. TRANSLATION: We assure everyone that the President of | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
Syria is finished. The Syrian nation is determined to bring this | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
dictator down. Will it happen? TRANSLATION: God willing, God | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
willing, very soon. The system is rotten to the core. It may look | :19:28. | :19:35. | |
strong on the outside, but at the heart it's weak. Inside Syria, the | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
Free Syrian km army will be more and -- Army, will be more and more | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
important as the situation gets worse. It's not civil war there yet, | :19:44. | :19:54. | |
:19:54. | :19:55. | ||
but it seems to be heading that way. The Rory Peck Awards pay tribute to | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
the freelance camera operators who risk their lives literally, to | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
bring you pictures from difficult and dangerous places. This year's | :20:03. | :20:09. | |
Sony Professional Impact Award went to a disturbing undercover | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
documentary about the lives of impoverished children in Zimbabwe. | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
Fill maker, Jezza Neumann said it was the toughest shoot he had ever | :20:17. | :20:25. | |
been on. This school in Zimbabwe has 1,000 pupils. 350 of them are | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
orphans. They are keen to learn, but the vast majority of their | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
families can't afford the school fees, so one day they are forced to | :20:33. | :20:43. | |
:20:43. | :20:51. | ||
Jezza Neumann isn't supposed to be filming this. He has permission to | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
make a documentary about the childhood of a South African | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
colleague. What they are actually doing could get them deported or | :20:58. | :21:06. | |
thrown in jail. To get these shots, the camera's on the ground and | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
Jezza Neumann is pretending to tie up his shoelaces. He's interrogated | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
in total 12 times. But it's the Zimbabweans there filming who Jezza | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
Neumann worries about most. I did feel our contributors were at | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
severe risk and they are the ones that the authorities would actually | :21:25. | :21:35. | |
:21:35. | :21:40. | ||
go after and the ones who are Nineyear-old Esther cares for her | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
dying mother. Her father has already died of AIDS. HIV positive | :21:45. | :21:55. | |
:21:55. | :22:07. | ||
herself, she is also looking after The most heart-breaking moment | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
comes when they return to see Esther and she tells them that her | :22:10. | :22:17. | |
mother has died. Here's a young child who tells us mat ter of | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
factly, that her -- matter of factly, that her mother has died. | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
That is how she delivers it. The other sadness is she actually says | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
it's a relief, because it means she no longer has to look after her | :22:31. | :22:38. | |
mother as well as teen know. Tino. This story does have a happy ending. | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
Viewers were so moved by the plight of Esther and the other children, | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
that donations poured in. She and Tction ino no longer have to look | :22:47. | :22:56. | |
after -- and Tino no longer have to look after themselves. The American | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
writer Jack Kerouac, who died more than 40 years ago, is best known | :23:00. | :23:07. | |
for his book On The Road. It became the Bible for the Beat Generation | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
in America, but his very first novel, written while he was at sea | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
in the Second World War has never been published until now. It's | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
called The Sea Is My Brother: The Lost Novel in one moment I'll | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
discuss the book with Stuart Evers, but first we'll hear a little of | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
Jack Kerouac himself reading from his book On The Road. I was trflg | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
west one time at the junction of the -- travelling west one time at | :23:34. | :23:43. | |
the junction of the state line of you tar and I saw -- Utah and I saw | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
the of God with his forefinger pointing straight at me. Through | :23:49. | :23:55. | |
halos and gold folds his right hand would say "Boy, go across the | :23:55. | :24:03. | |
ground. Go home from man. Go grown alone. Go role your bones alone. Go | :24:03. | :24:13. | |
:24:13. | :24:14. | ||
there and be little beneath my sight." Also, "And of this world | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
you report yourself well and truly." That was Jack Kerouac | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
reading there. Stuart Evers joins me now. This new published novel, | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
The Sea Is My Brother: The Lost Novel, you have actually read it | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
and it has just come out today? Yeah. It's an interesting book. | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
Like with many of his books it's very auto buy graphical and it | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
talks about him being in the merchant Marines, but what is | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
interesting for people who know and love him, it is not very polished | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
or as zipy perhaps as -- wouldn't expect that. Give him a | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
break, he wrote it when he was 21? There are flashes of the Jack | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
Kerouac that people have come to love and adore within the book. | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
There is lots of youthful kind of indiscretions within the text, | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
which doesn't make it perhaps the kind of literary event that perhaps | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
we might think it is. It tells you a little about how he was | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
developing perhaps as a writer. is a very interesting book in terms | :25:14. | :25:22. | |
of his obsessions that came through, the outsidism and America and the | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
concept of looking for things outside of a real sense of a place | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
and looking for something support spiritual. You are in your 30's, so | :25:33. | :25:43. | |
why do you think his writing has such enduring appeal? What is it? | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
William S Burroughs said this book sold one million pairs of Levis and | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
they are the last bastion of cool in as much they are famous for | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
their lifestyle. Even as much as their actual output. It was about | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
the Beat era. Why was that so important? It was a precursor to | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
rock'n'roll and it came around at the time when he wrote On The Road. | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
You can imagine there is a real sea change in America and you can | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
imagine anyone trying to get hold of his book and following in his | :26:16. | :26:18. | |
footsteps. There is something about him that appeals to the rebel in | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
all of us? Yes, absolutely. He did things that nobody else had ever | :26:22. | :26:30. | |
done. He wrote about them certainly. It's still as poignant and as | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
exciting now as it was then. book came out today. You must be a | :26:35. | :26:41. | |
fast reader? I got it two weeks ago. Are you a bit of a rebel too? | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
quite too. Thank you very much. That is all from the programme. | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
Next it's the weather, but for the moment from me, and the rest of the | :26:52. | :26:59. | |
moment from me, and the rest of the team, goodbye. There are two sides | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
to autumn weather, the mild and misty, the quiet or the wild and | :27:04. | :27:09. | |
windy. That's what we have at the moment. This area of deep pressure | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
is just off the north-west of the United Kingdom, giving strong winds | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
across northernmost parts. The winds are increasing for us all, so | :27:17. | :27:24. | |
blustery day for us all. It is pushing cold air across the country. | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
Another band will work south during the day and gusty winds on these as | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
well. Tending to weaken though just to a line of showers, as it reaches | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
further south. That's where it will be sitting at around 3pm. Ahead of | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
it though, there will be plenty of sun before the thicker cloud and a | :27:40. | :27:45. | |
few showers get in much later in the day. That band of showers also | :27:45. | :27:48. | |
stretching right into parts of south-west England and moving | :27:48. | :27:51. | |
through Wales, with the blustery winds. Brighter conditions follow | :27:51. | :27:55. | |
on behind. It could be quite a spell of heavy rain across northern | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
England, but it will brighten in the afternoon. A few showers | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
following on to the north and west of Northern Ireland. Breezy and | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
chilly feeling in the afternoon and yes, this is snow. Central | :28:04. | :28:09. | |
highlands into the crammians. Snow above 150 metres. Settling above | :28:09. | :28:18. |
