This is BBC World News Today with me, Zeinab Badawi. | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
30 years on since the Falklands War between Argentina and Britain began, | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
the tensions remain. Britain says its up to the | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
islanders themselves to decide their future, the Argentine | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
president renews her country's claim on the territory. | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
A step forward, but still a long way to go. Aung San Suu Kyi's | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
supporters in Burma celebrate their sweeping victory in the | :00:32. | :00:42. | |
parliamentary by-elections. We hope that this will be the beginning of | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
a new era where there albeit more emphasis on the role of the people | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
and the everyday politics of our country. | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
Separatist rebels in Mali declare independence in the north of the | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
country as West African nations impose sanctions on the coup | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
leaders. Also coming up in the programme: | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
Can a nation's happiness index be measured? | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
The kingdom of Bhutan leads the way at a UN summit on how citizens' | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
well-being should be part of good economic development. | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
The enfant terrible of British art, Damien Hirst, gets his first | :01:13. | :01:22. | |
retrospective. Is there more to him than the ability to shock? | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
thing you have to have, is that people have to say well. I hate art | :01:27. | :01:36. | |
that you have to think about. Hello and welcome. 30 years ago | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
today, Britain and Argentina went to war over the Falkland Islands. | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
The Argentine military junta at the time, stunned the world when it | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
landed troops in Port Stanley. Britain retaliated, by sending a | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
naval task force to reclaim the territory. And after two and a half | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
months, the war ended in defeat for Argentina. | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
Today, both countries have been holding separate events to mark the | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
start of the conflict. British veterans gathered at a | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
memorial chapel, with the families of those who died. The UK lost 255 | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
soldiers in the battle. And in Argentina, ceremonies have been | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
held across the country to remember the more than 650 troops who were | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
killed. The Argentine president, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
used one ceremony to call on Britain to discuss the sovereignty | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
of the islands. But the UK says it will only agree to sovereignty | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
talks if the islanders themselves ask them to do so. The BBC's World | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
Affairs Editor, John Simpson, reports from the Argentinian | :02:35. | :02:45. | |
:02:45. | :03:14. | ||
I am terribly sorry. We had the pictures but not the sound. We hope | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
to bring back to you a little later in the programme. Meanwhile let's | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
press on with another major story. The parliamentary by-elections in | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
Burma on Sunday have been hailed by the pro-democracy leader, Aung San | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
Suu Kyi, as marking a new era for the people. Her party, the National | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
Leagure for Democracy, won nearly all the 45 seats up for grabs, | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
though official results are not in yet. However, most of the | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
parliament's 600 seats are held by backers of the military, so it's | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
not clear what impact Aung San Suu Kyi and her party will have on | :03:42. | :03:52. | |
:03:52. | :03:55. | ||
Burma's future. There are rare moments in the story | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
of troubled countries when hope appears. In Burma today, you could | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
not mistake the surge of optimism. A landslide victory bought out the | :04:06. | :04:15. | |
:04:16. | :04:18. | ||
crowds to Chiyo the woman they For a few moments, the slight | :04:18. | :04:28. | |
:04:28. | :04:30. | ||
figure was lost from view in the press of bodies. Then she appeared. | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
Mindful that the powerful military would be listening, she urged | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
magnanimity and reminded them that this was a Democratic victory. | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
is not so much our triumph but a triumph for the people who decided | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
they must be involved in political processes of this country. We hope | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
this will be the beginning of a new era where there will be more | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
emphasis on the role of the people and the everyday politics of our | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
country. We hope that in future there will be more chances for many | :04:59. | :05:06. | |
more people and many more parties. Thank you. There are some in her | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
own party and supporters who believe that entering the by- | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
election as a be a mistake given that they would not deliver full | :05:13. | :05:19. | |
democracy. Today, thanks to the sweeping victory, Aung San Suu Kyi | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
will feel vindicated. Images like these will make Burma's | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
leaders nervous. They want something in return for reforming. | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
An end to punitive international sanctions. We have so much | :05:36. | :05:43. | |
opportunity to develop our country, but this sanction cost up Torness. | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
They need to abandon the sanction. In all likelihood these are fading | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
days of economic isolation, but remember the majority of people | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
were not voting this time around. For families like this one, the | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
next step must be a general election that will bring the | :06:00. | :06:08. | |
Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner -- Aung San Suu Kyi to power. She will | :06:08. | :06:16. | |
be our president. I believe it. she wins the chair, she can help a | :06:16. | :06:25. | |
lot to our people. That is what our people hope for the best. | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
When the cheering fades, the hard talking will begin with the | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
government. Those uncertain neck initiations will depend whether the | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
woman he carried the day can carry the country. | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
Earlier, I spoke to the UN's envoy to Burma, Vijay Nambiar. I asked | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
him if this vote raises expectations about the reform | :06:48. | :06:58. | |
process. In a sense, for the first time, the | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
fact that this election though a small by election, includes | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
political forces that have been excluded for 20 years. It therefore | :07:07. | :07:16. | |
has the potential of changing fundamentally a quality of | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
political diversity in the country. It will help bring a change that | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
has so far been irreversible. There is a potential for it becoming | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
irreversible as you go along, but there are still problems. There are | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
problems of the ongoing peace process, the humanitarian problems, | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
the questions of human rights as well as a serious Medes associate | :07:40. | :07:49. | |
economic development. Therefore the tasks have just begun. Sure enough, | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
I want to reiterate that because how much of a foothold is this | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
going to give Aung San Suu Kyi? Shall only have 40 odd seat out of | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
a Parliament where there are 600 seats. Yes, but it provides her | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
with a platform as she herself mentioned, the members are not | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
important. It provides an opportunity inside Parliament to | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
reach out to the persons who are now members of parliament including | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
those in the army and it provides her an opportunity to build on the | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
basis she has already established for a larger political collective | :08:26. | :08:33. | |
political future. Is she going to be able to weave this difficult | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
path in meeting those expectations, but also keeping a channel open to | :08:39. | :08:46. | |
the authorities, in particular the President? Yes, she has actually | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
expressed a confidence that she would be able to proceed in that | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
direction, meet up with the political leadership in a | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
constructive manner. She wants to work towards the larger issues that | :09:01. | :09:09. | |
confront the people. In the social and economic to ballot mental | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
concerns, it is the larger areas of peace recognition that she will | :09:13. | :09:20. | |
address. Now a look at some of the days | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
other news, and unemployment across the countries that use the euro, | :09:24. | :09:33. | |

The Argentine president has today renew her commitment to regain the | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
territory. I will World Affairs terror -- our world affairs | :09:42. | :09:47. | |

Early morning. The elegant understated memorial to more than | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
600 Argentine dead in the war is about to input. Miguel is waiting | :09:59. | :10:07. | |
to pay his respects to friends and comrades. TRANSLATION: 30 years on, | :10:07. | :10:16. | |
so many lives loss for no reason. It was not worth a single life. | :10:16. | :10:25. | |
Captain Armando was one of the pilot. TRANSLATION: I am sorry that | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
22 Britons died. As professionals we had to do our job and that | :10:31. | :10:40. | |
caused casualties. After 30 years, attitudes remain unchanged. The | :10:40. | :10:47. | |
students were not even born then, but they all think the same way. | :10:47. | :10:55. | |
TRANSLATION: People were taken from us by M empire. Will there be | :10:55. | :11:04. | |
another war over the Falklands? Yes or no? No. Argentina could not do | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
it anyway. Ever since the collapse of the military regime here after | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
the Falklands war, successive civilian governments have been | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
cutting back savagely on military spending. No new players for 30 | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
years, only just enough money to pay the wages. This is a country | :11:22. | :11:29. | |
which was chosen unilaterally to disarm itself. Now it is conducting | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
a diplomatic war to get the islands. Gabriella, political ally for the | :11:35. | :11:43. | |
government, thinks it is a success. It is the first time that we are in | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
the same way with Argentina in his claim. It is important to show that | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
there is support. This is the first time that this happened. | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
British doubt it. Most Latin American countries are apparently | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
saying quietly that they do not want to get involved. People in | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
Argentina would be mistaken if they thought Britain was retreating from | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
the scene or not interested in the region or weakening in any way in | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
our commitment to the people of the Falkland Islands. Critics of the | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
government here think the reason the diplomatic battle is heating up | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
is that Argentina's economy is in trouble on all of this provides | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
useful distraction. Even the critics think the islands belong to | :12:30. | :12:39. | |
Argentina. 30 years since the start there. | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
Let's look at other news in brief. Unemployment across the euro-zone | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
has gone up to almost 11% in February. | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
10.8% of people in Eurozone countries are unemployed. That's | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
the highest figure since the formation of the euro back in 1999. | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
The worst figures are in Spain, where 23.6% of people are out of | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
work. And there was bad news in France - manufacturing output is at | :12:59. | :13:07. | |
its worst level there for three years. | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
Kofi Annan has said there has been no process on the ground in | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
implementing a ceasefire which is a key condition of his ceasefire. He | :13:16. | :13:24. | |
has been briefing the UN Council. A rising death toll for military it | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
pro-reform protesters. I'm the three widows of Osama Bin Laden | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
have been given jail sentences for living in Pakistan illegally. | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
All five were captured during the raid on the compound where Osama | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
Bin Laden was found and killed. They will each serve 45 days. | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
The head of Russia's civil aviation agency has said that the plane that | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
crashed in Siberia on Monday appears to have not been properly | :13:51. | :13:57. | |
de Iced before it took off. 31 people were killed after the crash. | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
12 of those on board survived, but are in a serious condition in | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
hospital. The West African regional body has | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
impose sanctions on the soldiers to seize power in Mali de weeks ago. | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
The junta had been forced to promise a return to democratic rule, | :14:16. | :14:23. | |
but that was not enough. In Mali, rebels have captured the historic | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
trading town of Timbuktu giving them control of the north of the | :14:26. | :14:36. | |
:14:36. | :14:39. | ||
The rapid advance in Mali has taken many by surprise. Heavily a dark -- | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
armed, they have taken a position to gain ground. They are currently | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
in the ancient city of Timbuktu, which gives them for control of the | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
north of the country. Nearly 1,000 years old, the significance of the | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
city cannot be overestimated. Once a regional hub of, say, today it | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
still possesses a vast cultural well. -- harbour of Commerce. The | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
library told ancient manuscripts dating through the centuries. So | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
who are the rebels now control in Timbuktu and the rest of the North? | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
Well, they consist of a bewildering array of groups, including | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
Islamists but the majority are tour Rake, fighting a separatist cause. | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
They are less fighting for and the autonomous state -- they say they | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
are fighting for an autonomous state, and given that they control | :15:33. | :15:41. | |
the north, they will stop fighting and begin defending their territory. | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
Our objective is not to go farther than the borders. We do not want to | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
create problems for the government of Marley and the region. So from | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
the moment we have liberated our Tel Reyes -- territories, we have | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
achieved our objective, we will stop there. They may say they have | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
no intentions of destabilising the region, but nonetheless the | :16:03. | :16:11. | |
neighbouring countries are very I think that the prospect of power | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
falling into the hands of fundamentalists is a nightmare, not | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
only for us, but all the countries in the region and we will take all | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
measures to make sure the fundamentalists do not take power. | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
Back in the capital city, residents are bracing themselves for the | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
impact of the economic sanctions that have just been imposed by the | :16:33. | :16:43. | |
:16:43. | :16:44. | ||
To talk some more is the veteran West African analyst, Kaye Whiteman. | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
Do you think the gains by the rebels in the north are | :16:47. | :16:56. | |
irreversible? Not irreversible, but they will be hard to undo. They do | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
have limited objectives anyway. imposition of sanctions on the | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
leaders of the coup, will this further complicate matters and | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
allow the rebels to exploit the confusion even more? Certainly will | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
not help, because the confusion is already considerable. But will they | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
want to move in on Bamako? At the moment they seem to want to | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
consolidate their own power having captured three major towns in | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
north-eastern Marley. They will probably want to consolidate that. | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
There also are Islamists with them who were not as important, but they | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
have another agenda. Their objectives could very well be that | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
they would like to take over the whole of the country, but I think | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
there is a more limited agenda. Traditionally, they are not known | :17:49. | :17:55. | |
as people having sympathies with Al co-leader -- Al-Qaeda or or more | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
Jihad est movements. They are seen as more moderate. One wonders why | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
they have this alliance with the Islamist fighters. I think the | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
Islamists are piggy-backing on their back. They are there because | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
of the fall of Gaddafi. They were in the army and they got kicked out | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
and took an awful lot of their arms there and establish themselves in | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
the north-east. This is the result, a direct consequence. Do you think | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
the actions could trigger similar actions elsewhere, like in Niger or | :18:29. | :18:38. | |
Mauritania? The name of what they consider their homeland stretches | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
to five or six different countries through Algeria, Libya, Mauritania | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
and Niger. That is important because of the Ukrainian. These are | :18:47. | :18:54. | |
things that remain to be seen. -- because of the uranium. What would | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
they base that on? Ethnically, of a uniform regardless of where they | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
live? If you look at the Kurdish groups, they speak a different | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
language dependent on whether they are in Turkey, Syria or Iraq? | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
have a definite culture of their own. They have their own language | :19:10. | :19:17. | |
with a different dialect. They are known as a different group in terms | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
of music, jury. By a quite homogenous, regardless of the | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
geographical to Eric -- territory - - are they quite a homogenous? Has | :19:29. | :19:39. | |
:19:39. | :19:46. | ||
their homeland got a front really? That is the question. Now do you | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
think that bringing happiness to a country can really be measured in | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
any meaningful way? Well, the UN is hosting a special summit called by | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
the tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan to discuss this. Bhutan | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
believes that any economic system must take happiness into account. | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
Last year, the UN adopted Bhutan's proposal to make happiness a | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
development indicator, using a model from the kingdom, that | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
defines the quality of life as a balance between the material and | :20:05. | :20:13. | |
the spiritual. One survey actually ranked the Bhutanese as the | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
"happiest" people in Asia, even though their average income is just | :20:16. | :20:24. | |
over $100 a month. Jeffrey Sachs is currently an economist at Columbia | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
University. He's also seeking to become president of the World Bank. | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
And he joins us now from the Happiness and Wellbeing Summit at | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
the UN in New York. Can governments really measure an individual or a | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
nation's happiness in any meaningful way that works for | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
economists? You s, they can. And many are already doing so -- yes | :20:41. | :20:49. | |
they can. Many global surveys do exactly that, they ask people in | :20:49. | :20:56. | |
different ways if they are happy. Were you happy yesterday? Or in a | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
somewhat different manner, how do you evaluate your life? Are you | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
satisfied with your life, all things considered? How do you feel | :21:03. | :21:10. | |
your life is going? So there are different types of happiness. There | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
is the mood, emotions, the ups and downs of the everyday. There is the | :21:14. | :21:20. | |
evaluative happiness and then the sense of purpose in happiness which | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
Aristotle put a virtue one. All of these things can be measured and | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
are being measured, and a tremendous amount is being learned | :21:26. | :21:32. | |
from the measurements. In terms of economics and economic development, | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
is there a link between how productive a country might be, | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
depending on how happy its people are? If you look at China, they | :21:40. | :21:46. | |
should be pretty happy, because they are productive. Well, in | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
general, there is a relationship that higher incomes are associated | :21:51. | :21:58. | |
with more happiness, but income is by no means the main determinant or | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
even a powerful determinant of overall happiness. Some poorer | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
countries have rank very high. The United States has had the | :22:06. | :22:15. | |
unfortunate reality of going 50 years since 1960 travelling the | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
gross national product per-person but having no movement of the | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
needle of happiness -- troubling. Income counts, but it isn't | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
everything. Public health also counts. There are social support | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
systems that can. What counts our trust in your government and | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
individuals in the community, and the resilience he of the community. | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
All of these factors have been demonstrated to play a major role | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
in how people feel about their lives, and governments can do | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
something about it. You have worked for many years with impoverished | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
communities around the world. Do you say that money is not | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
everything, go and be happy even if you are poor? You can't say that, | :22:57. | :23:04. | |
can you? Of course one does not say that. A low levels of income, the | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
need for basic needs is absolutely the life-and-death issue and is a | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
crucial source of happiness. Money counts a lot for very poor people, | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
but once the high incomes are reached, other things count. Even | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
along the path of development it is possible to have a more balanced | :23:22. | :23:28. | |
approach when it takes into account community, social support, mental | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
health and the honesty of government. They all play a very | :23:32. | :23:39. | |
important role. Very quickly, are you happy, Jeffrey? I am extremely | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
happy and very pleased that the world is taking up this issue in a | :23:43. | :23:50. | |
very realistic way today. Ending with a smile, thank you very much. | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
It's put a smile on my face as well. Damien Hirst is often seen as the | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
enfant terrible of contemporary British art. Loved and loathed in | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
equal measure, the Tate Modern Gallery in London is staging the | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
first major survey show of his work in the UK. Surprising perhaps for | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
the artist who, for the past 20 years or so, has so often been in | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
the headlines, whether it's over his pickled shark, rotting cow's | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
head or diamond encrusted skull. Our Arts Editor Will Gompertz has | :24:13. | :24:23. | |
:24:23. | :24:23. | ||
Damien Hirst in front of the art work that made him famous, and | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
shaped his image as the bad boy of British art. But that was more than | :24:27. | :24:33. | |
20 years ago. Today, he has grown up and has grey hairs and is during | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
a career retrospective at Tate Modern. A greatest-hits show of | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
spot paintings and dead animals in formaldehyde. People have to go, | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
well! I hate art that you have to think about. I like art that grabs | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
you, like in the National History Museum -- Natural History Museum. | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
What is the difference between your work and a piece not in a museum? | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
Any thing done well his art. Somebody once said to me, how do | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
you know it is art? Is it in an art gallery? In 2008, Damien Hirst | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
bought these pieces and many others to Sotheby's for an unprecedented | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
auction of new works by living artists. It turned out to be a | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
momentous occasion. He ended up taking away over �100 million. | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic, the Leman brothers were | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
in the process of going bust. pushing the point too far to say | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
that making money is part of your We all need money to survive and | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
you have to respect money because there are so many people without it. | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
I became aware that she can definitely use money to get | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
people's attention. After I did my auction at Sotheby's I started to | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
get notice on the street by businessmen. Behind the scenes, you | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
are a generous man who supports a lot of artists, but your public | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
image is that you were a money- grabbing show off? Really? Really! | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
I think the image is important to who you are. I don't see it as an | :26:03. | :26:12. | |
image, it is what I represent. I would rather I wasn't just a money- | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
grabbing show of underneath. Damien Hirst told me it was strange having | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
a retrospective. And becoming part of the Establishment. In my mind, I | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
always thought I wanted to be upon. I wanted young think -- kids to | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
think I am called, stupid things like that. In the end you become | :26:30. | :26:37. | |
like an old fart. He's not still doing those animals in formaldehyde, | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
EC? That sort of thing. Damien Hirst said he was not the sort to | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
look back at his work. He prefers to look to the future and what he | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
sees as infinite possibilities. Which has always been his approach | :26:49. | :26:59. | |

A reminder of our main news: The Argentine President has reaffirmed | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
her country's claim to the Falkland Islands during a ceremony to mark | :27:06. | :27:10. | |

Well that's all from the programme. Next the weather. But for now from | :27:14. | :27:24. | |

me Zeinab Badawi and the rest of Hello there. Yes, the rumours are | :27:30. | :27:36. | |
true. After a mild weather, things are turning to snow. An ample | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
warning for tonight across the northern half of Scotland for heavy | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
snowfall as we head through the night. This weather front brings a | :27:43. | :27:47. | |
band of rain and the heavier it gets interacting with the cold it | :27:47. | :27:53. | |
will steadily turn to cold. Five or 10 centimetres away from the | :27:53. | :27:55. | |
immediate coast across northern Scotland, and later in the night | :27:55. | :28:01. | |
through the borders, and through the northern hills of England. To | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
up to five centimetres in the four cars. In the south, dry and mild, | :28:05. | :28:09. | |
but further north the temperatures fall away and it is likely to be I | :28:09. | :28:14. | |
see as well as Meli. Tomorrow, strong, biting winds across the | :28:14. | :28:18. | |
northern areas but in the south it turns cloudy and wet. As the | :28:18. | :28:25. | |
weather moves into southern England, the Midlands, we will see the cloud | :28:25. | :28:31. | |
feeling in and it will hold on to double-digit temperatures. Highs of | :28:31. | :28:34. | |
only five or six degrees in Scotland tomorrow. Snow falling | :28:34. | :28:37. | |
across the hills of northern England as we head through Tuesday | :28:37. | :28:42. | |
evening with strong winds, and we could see blizzard conditions. The | :28:42. | :28:45. |
