In is BBC World News Today. Unfit to lead a may stkwhror | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
international company. That is the damning conclusion of a British | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
Parliamentary report about media mogul Rupert Murdoch. Rupert | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
Murdoch is not fit to run an international company like BSkyB. | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
To vote or not to vote f that is the question facing France's | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
National Front supporters in the second round of the Presidential | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
election. It is one year since this man was killed, but how much weaker | :00:37. | :00:43. | |
is Al-Qaeda since the American operation to remove him? Also | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
coming up. Coup and counter coup in West Africa. Rebels in Mali say | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
they have the upper hand in fighting against forces loyal to | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
the deposed President. And the art of activism. The occupy movement | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
has spawned new forms of political expression, but can they change | :01:00. | :01:10. | |
:01:10. | :01:14. | ||
The conclusions were damning and potentially far-reaching. A British | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
Parliamentary investigation into the phone hacking scandal at the | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
News of the World concluded that the media mogul Rupert Murdoch is | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
not a fit person to run an international company. It claimed | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
he was Willfully blind to what was going on signed his newspaper. It | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
added there was an instinct to cover up rather than seek out wrong | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
doing. News Corporation has said some hard truths have emerged but | :01:38. | :01:45. | |
that some of the commentary was highly partisan. Rupert Murdoch, | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
till recently seen as the world's most powerful media mogul. Today, | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
declared by MPs not a fit person to run a major international | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
bibusiness because they say he and his colleagues turned a blind eye, | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
for year, to phone hacking by journalists at the News of the | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
World. Everyone in the world knows who is responsible for the wrong | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
doing of News Corporation. Rupert Murdoch. More than any individual | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
alive, he is to blame. Morally, the deeds are his. He paid the piper, | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
and he called the tune. The Culture, Media and Sport committee was more | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
damning about three of his colleagues. Colin Myler, the former | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
editor of the closed News of the World. Tom Crone, who was the legal | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
affairs manager for Mr Murdoch's British newspaper and Les Hinton, | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
for decades his right-hand man. All accused of misleading MPs in the | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
case of Mr Myler and Mr Crone, in part because they had been aware of | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
a 2005 E may showing hacking was more widespread than the company | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
admitted. It is because Mr Mile e Mr Crone and Mr Hinton told MPs in | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
2009 that hacking was the work of a single rogue reporter, that MPs | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
have found them guilty of misleading them. Mr Myler in New | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
York where he is editor for another organisation. He, Mr Crone and Mr | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
Hinton have rejected the damning verdict. It was the disclosure that | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
the News of the World hacked the phone of Milly Dowler that turned | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
hacking into a story of national importance. And since then the | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
rosta of prominent people whose privacy has been invaded by phone | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
hacking has grown and grown. We are used to not ever being seen to | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
criticise Murdoch or the press. To see this frankly brutal report, has | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
come as a bit of a shock. Then I thought is it too much? Has it gone | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
too far? Then I think no, he has a lot of questions to answer. He has | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
a lot to answer for, and I think he is, for the very first time being | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
held to account. So why did the committee reach its verdict on | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
Rupert Murdoch? We find News Corporation carried out an | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
extensive cover up of its rampant law breaking. In the view of the | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
majority of committee member, Rupert Murdoch is not fit to run an | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
international company like BSkyB. The issue on which no Conservative | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
member felt they could support the report itself, was the line put in | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
the middle of the report that said that Mr Rupert Murdoch is not a fit | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
person to run an international company. The media regulator Ofcom | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
is investigating whether BSkyB 39% owned by Rupert Murdoch's News | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
Corporation is fit and proper to hold a broadcasting license. In | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
theory, if Mr Murdoch is deem by MPs not to be fit and proper, that | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
could push Ofcom nearer ho deciding that for BSkyB to retain its | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
license News Corporation should sell most of its BSkyB shares. The | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
News of the World scandal still making news, shaking perhaps the | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
whole of Rupert Murdoch and James Murdoch on their sprawling media | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
empire. -- hold. I am joined by Ben Bradshaw, former British culture | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
and media secretary under Gordon Brown. Were you surprised by the | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
strength of the language used in this report? I refer in particular | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
to that phrase that Murdoch is unfit to run a major organisation? | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
Not really and don't forget these MPs have spent a long time, they | :05:21. | :05:29. | |
have taken a great deal of evidence, they have summoned witnesses, | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
including Rupert and James Murdoch themselves. We know because it has | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
been widely reported about the phone hack, the bribes that were | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
paid to police officers for information, that his papers paid, | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
so we all know, and there is a serious problem here, and these MPs | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
have clearly felt it was serious enough to make this recommendation. | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
But the fact they were split along party line, by this particular | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
phrase, doesn't that now turn it into a bit of a political football, | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
and undermine, if you like, the wait of -- weight of the report's | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
findings? I suggest people who are interested read the report and draw | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
their own conclusion, I think it is worth noting those party lines, | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
whether the Conservatives wanted a milder report which would indicate | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
to me, we know the members of the committee have been holding private | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
meetings with News International recently, whereas the majority, the | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
opposition Labour members and the one Liberal Democrat member, don't | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
forget the Liberal Democrats are part of the Government here, | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
supported the more stronger language report. Think that says | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
more about the fact that Conservatives either haven't | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
learned the lessons of this scandal are in thrall to the Murdoch empire. | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
What power does this report or Select Committee have, in reality? | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
It is advisory in this instance, but of course, I would be very | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
surprised if our independent media regulator Ofcom did not at least | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
take into account the recommendation of the committee, | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
and I would be very surprised too if the Government didn't take it | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
into account, and indeed there will be a vote on this committee's | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
report and it will be very interesting to see how the | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
governing Conservative Party in Britain votes, are they going to | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
vote to support Murdoch, or are they going to vote to support the | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
outrage really that has been expressed not just by this | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
committee, but the broad British public, at what we have learned | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
about the tactics of some of the Murdoch newspapers. What about the | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
long-term consequences of this? Murdoch still owns the time, the | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
Sunday Times as well as his stake, the Sun, as well as BSkyB. If he | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
were to pull out of that, would it be a good thing for the British | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
media? I think there are a number of long-term consequences. I hope | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
one of them that Parliament and elected representatives have taken | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
power back from the media. I think too many years elected politicians | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
have been cowed and fright and by Murdo Fraser -- Rupert Murdoch. All | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
partys have been guilty of this, I hope we get a proper media | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
regulatory landscape that doesn't allow one particular individual or | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
company to amass as much power as Rupert Murdoch has here. Something | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
that would never be allowed in the United States, or most other | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
European countries. There are positives things that could come | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
out of this. Let us look at some of the other news. In the latest stage | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
of his landmark visit to Burma, the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
held talks with Aung San Suu Kyi. Mr Ban praised her for backing away | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
from a boycott of Parliament that had threatened to stall the reforms | :08:33. | :08:40. | |
in Burma. He said she accepted an invitation to visit New York. The | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
former head of the International Money Fund Dominique Strauss-Kahn | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
has suffered another legal setback. A judge in New York has ruled that | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
a civil lawsuit alleging he sexually assaulted a hotel made can | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
go ahead. He the nighs the allegation he tried to rape her | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
last May. Prosecutors dropped the criminal charges in the case last | :08:57. | :09:05. | |
summer. Work has begun to draw up a new fully civilian constitution in | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
Turkey. A multiparty part tricommittee is cameing up to come | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
up with a democratic charter to replace the existing constitution | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
which was drawn up under military rule 30 years ago. It is expected | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
to take a year. And in football, the manager of the English Premier | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
League team West Bromwich Roy Hodgson has been confirmed as the | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
new manager of the England national side when he takes charge, after | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
the remaining two games of the season, his first task will be to | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
lead his country into the European Championships. The large Mayday | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
rally in Paris the leader of the far right Front National told her | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
supporters that she would not be voting for either President Sarkozy | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
or his challenger Francois Hollande in the next round of the | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
Presidential election. Marine Le Pen said she would cast a blank | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
ballot. Six million people voted for the National Front in the first | :10:02. | :10:10. | |
round, so how they vote this Sunday could be decisive. The traditional | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
Labour Day rally, always a big event if France but more so this | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
years unemployment rose again in April for the 11th month, in line | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
with the anger and frustration directed at Europe. No party has | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
captured the mood better than the Front National. Support for the far | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
right is now at record levels across the country and today the | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
new generation of the party paraded past the statue of Joan of Arc. | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
Marine Le Pen, who casts herself as the modern day patron saint blames | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
open borders and the evils of globalisation, and she is winning | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
the argument. In the first round of this vote some 6.5 million people | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
in France turned out for Marine Le Pen. The President now needs to | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
steal a large percentage of that vote if he is to have any chance of | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
winning on Sunday. Marine Le Pen has told both candidates she | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
doesn't own the vote, which may be true but the size of her support | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
here today she wields great political influence. The res rick | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
was steeped in history and condemnation for five years of | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
broken promises. In the end, she offered noen dorsment of either | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
candidate. -- rhetoric. If votes were awarded for stage design | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
Nicolas Sarkozy would be home and dry, but they are not. In recent | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
days the President has been criticised for straying too far | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
into Front National territory, on immigration, law and order and | :11:37. | :11:44. | |
security. Today, he picked labour reform. I will fight for a new | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
social model. Where the trade unions instead of being a source of | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
conservatism will be a source of transformation. Francois Hollande | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
made a decision last week to stay away from labour day, it is an | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
occasion for the workers he said not the politicians. Perhaps it | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
shows the confidence he exuded with a six point lead in the polls. | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
Tomorrow it is live debate between the two main candidates. The first | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
and only time they go head-to-head. Mr Sarkozy needs a career best | :12:16. | :12:24. | |
performance, without it, his presidency has just days to run. | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
Now it has been a year since the former Al-Qaeda leader Bin Laden | :12:29. | :12:36. | |
was killed in the Pakistani town by US navy seals but where has has | :12:36. | :12:44. | |
that left the militant group. They now have a new leader, Ayman Al- | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
Zawahiri, in the past year US drone attacks have killed a number of key | :12:48. | :12:54. | |
members of the organisation including Ilyas Kashimiri and then | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
there was Anwar Al-Awlaki, a US- born radical Islamist cleric in | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
Yemen. Despite this weakened leadership Al-Qaeda is growing. It | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
has links with Boko Haram in Nigeria, it has formed a | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
partnership with Somalia's Al- Shabab. President Obama who was the | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
man wo ordered the operation to kill Bin Laden has given an | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
interview to the US network, NBC, from the famous situation room in | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
the White House where he watched events unfold on that night.. | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
this point I think all of us understand that we are a long way | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
to go before the night is done, and I have said, this was the longest | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
40 minute moifs life. To cone a phrase, all you know is you have a | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
black hawk down. It is in the courtyard, it turns out to have | :13:49. | :13:58. | |
been especially piloted by a pilot who cushions everyone onboard.. | :13:58. | :14:05. | |
I will tell you when I saw that pilot, I gave him a pretty good hug. | :14:05. | :14:14. | |
I am joined from New York by a journalist. In the course of your | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
research, for this book, what was the thing that surprised you most | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
about the hunt for Bin Laden? I mean I guess one of the things | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
that surprised me, having visited inside the compound where Bin Laden | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
lived, the only outsider to do so, but the kind of life he was leading. | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
I mean you know, he had three wives, ranging in age from 29 to 62. He | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
had a dozen kids and grand kids. There were other, about a dozen | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
other people living in the compound, people who were protecting him and | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
their families. They were living a simple life, they had very few | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
heaters, in a place that gets cold in the winter. They had no air | :14:56. | :15:02. | |
conditioning, they were growing their own vegetables, they were | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
living this kind of almost like back o the land lifestyle on the | :15:06. | :15:14. | |
compound. -- to. Each of the wives had her own kitsch within a crude | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
bucket suspended over the stove where kitchen smells would be | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
sucked up to the outside. Bin Laden had a tiny toilet where he would do | :15:23. | :15:31. | |
his business. A kitchen... Didn't you say in spite of all these | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
people living openly in town, nonetheless the intelligence that | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
President Obama was confronted with, on a, on the basis of which he had | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
to take a decision to launch this attack, wasn't that secure, was it, | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
there were doubts? There were huge doubts. At one point is the deputy | :15:51. | :15:58. | |
director of CIA who is a veteran of the CIA, and who said to the | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
President before the raid, the circumstantial case that Iraq had | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
weapons of mass destruction is better, than the circumstantial | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
case that Bin Laden was in the compound. That is a sobering thing | :16:10. | :16:17. | |
to have a veteran CIA guy tell you, and you know, President Obama at a | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
certain point decided the intelligence picture was never | :16:20. | :16:27. | |
going to improve. The only way they could improve it was by taking the | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
measures that might spook the target. And so he would have to | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
make a decision based on imperfect information which is the | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
intelligence business, intelligence is not about definitive proof | :16:42. | :16:52. | |
:16:52. | :17:04. | ||
usually, it is about kind of things There were many there were against | :17:04. | :17:13. | |
the raids. The number to military adviser to the President suggested | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
another option that was a small experimental bomb to be dropped on | :17:17. | :17:25. | |
compound. There were many against it and many had much more real | :17:25. | :17:35. | |
:17:35. | :17:40. | ||
experience. Joe Biden was elected senator when President Obama was 10. | :17:40. | :17:48. | |
It was a decisive decision. Fascinating stuff, thank you. | :17:48. | :17:55. | |
In Mali's capital, Bamako, soldiers from the ruling junta have overrun | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
the barracks of the presidential guard. Leaders who handed over | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
authority to a civilian Government on 12th April said they had fended | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
off attacks on the national TV station, the airport and a military | :18:10. | :18:17. | |
base. Vehicles turning back in the streets of Mali's capital as the | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
City remains tense. There were further outbreaks of shooting after | :18:20. | :18:27. | |
the attempted counter-coup. TRANSLATION: But we spent a | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
sleepless night. They are shooting at people, stray bullets are | :18:32. | :18:40. | |
killing people. We want this to stop. This morning, this tank stood | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
outside the headquarters of state TV which the anti-German to forces | :18:44. | :18:51. | |
are trying to takeover. There were few people on the streets. -- | :18:51. | :19:01. | |
:19:01. | :19:02. | ||
Imitating the gunfire he had heard, this man said he had seen soldiers | :19:02. | :19:12. | |
of the presidential garden at shooting. It began with forces | :19:12. | :19:19. | |
loyal to them seizing power. They remain loyal to the former | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
president ousted during the coup. Under dog mess, they attacked the | :19:24. | :19:30. | |
TV station, the airport and a military base. -- dog mess. Earlier | :19:30. | :19:37. | |
today, soldiers loyal to the coup leader appeared saying they still | :19:37. | :19:44. | |
held these key locations. The TV showed weapons and ammunition | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
belonging to captured troops. They suggested they had had foreign | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
backing. What to demonstrate his how volatile Mali continues to be | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
even though a coup leaders have handed over power to an interim | :19:59. | :20:06. | |
Government. The job of restoring constitutional control remains | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
acute. It is May Day and the international | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
workers' holiday was turned into a day of international protest. This | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
was the scene in Turin a few hours ago. They were angry about the | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
austerity measures. In Spain, thousands took to the streets after | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
two years of deep spending cuts, tax hikes and one-in-four Spanish | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
unemployed. Greece, grilled by debt, more than | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
2000 people marched through central Athens ahead of national elections | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
these -- this Sunday. In the United States, the Occupy | :20:46. | :20:52. | |
movement is holding demonstrations against capitalism. It is | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
supporting new forms of artistic expression which have a directly | :20:55. | :21:04. | |
:21:05. | :21:08. | ||
New York, the centre of the global art world. Since last October, it | :21:08. | :21:18. | |
has been at the centre of something else. The Occupy movement. Whether | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
the protest leave a lasting impact, what is for certain come they are | :21:23. | :21:32. | |
already impacting on its art and culture. It is simple. It suggests | :21:32. | :21:42. | |
:21:42. | :21:47. | ||
and 99% and reads as a bat symbol. Instead of a superhero, it is | :21:47. | :21:56. | |
ourselves. 99% coming to save our self. We are our own superhero. | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
Meet the eliminators. Mission, to project slogans on to buildings | :22:00. | :22:08. | |
from a van. They have created a brand of more successful than many | :22:08. | :22:17. | |
brands. Is it performance art or is it activism? For the generation of | :22:17. | :22:25. | |
artists that art in Occupy, it is a piece of scepticism. It is people | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
putting out their work. The poster is where the white-walled gallery | :22:31. | :22:37. | |
meets the black blog, where fine art meets St top. What they did was | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
it a curse out of ourselves, out of the gallery system, out of this | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
serve -- self referential way of working and we were able to engage | :22:48. | :22:54. | |
with the outside world. With my work for Occupy, I am not just | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
producing a cool image, I am producing a functional and | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
persuasive piece of work that will be pasted on buildings and held up | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
by demonstrators. Please turn around and exit the block. Since | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
they were expelled from the original camp, they have been | :23:14. | :23:23. | |
playing cat-and-mouse with the police Knightly. As the real police | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
moved in, so do actors playing a spoof police force. You don't have | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
any money to pay S. A night after night, they turn New York into a | :23:34. | :23:41. | |
venue for the culture war. Of course, today's artistic rabble is | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
tomorrow's guy in the Academy but at least with this lot, you can't | :23:45. | :23:52. | |
call them RAAD balls without a cause. -- rebels Without a Cause. I | :23:52. | :23:59. | |
am joined by Laurie Penny who has been following the protests. Dr | :23:59. | :24:05. | |
Occupy movement promised to action in New York. Is anything happening? | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
There are lots of protests all over the city that started at 8am to | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
stop some of the pickets were backed by a unions around current | :24:17. | :24:25. | |
union disputes and some were people going down in groups of 20, 30, 40, | :24:25. | :24:33. | |
picketing financial institutions, and right now, there are people | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
using the black blog tactics where people are taking to the streets | :24:38. | :24:47. | |
and gathering for a rally. What is that rally? Black blocker. They | :24:47. | :24:55. | |
dress in black and mask up as a pre- cursor to people in other | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
situations. It is not just in New York, there are protests in LA, | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
Chicago, Philadelphia, people using a variety of tactics. In Madison | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
Square Gardens, there is a free university being held aimed at | :25:13. | :25:22. | |
raising the problems of student debt. Can a movement like this | :25:22. | :25:29. | |
survive, given it no longer has this physical base like it had in | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
Zucotti Park? It doesn't have a proper leadership or a hierarchy. | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
Can it sustain itself? That is an interesting question. Particularly | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
the question about space because the movement has changed both in | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
New York, London and across the world since all these spaces were | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
evicted by police. What has happened today is they have had the | :25:54. | :26:01. | |
pop up occupation which is in a never Parkin New York. It is | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
functioning as Homebase. People are going to try it and converge on | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
Zucotti Park. It is interesting how that's based has functioned in | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
place of a traditional leadership structure, as long as people feel | :26:16. | :26:22. | |
they have a place to go to. Space is a contested resource, never more | :26:22. | :26:32. | |
so than now. For that is all we have time for. Thank you very much. | :26:32. | :26:34. | |

Hello. We had a lovely day across parts of Scotland, with England and | :27:06. | :27:12. | |
Wales seeing rain. Tomorrow, it will be mostly a dry day. This | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
weather front is still with us and it is pushing his way northwards | :27:15. | :27:21. | |
through the night and it will keep thick cloud across Northern Ireland | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
and towards the Midlands. Some sunshine to the west of that band | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
and further north. Through the afternoon, things should brighten | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
up bed temperatures will struggle with that breeze coming in from the | :27:35. | :27:45. | |

North Sea. -- but. Across south- west England, the trade -- day | :27:45. | :27:49. | |
should be dry and bright. Temperatures up to 16. South-west | :27:49. | :27:55. | |
Wales, another place where we will see brighter spells. The north-east | :27:55. | :28:00. | |
is staying over cast. Northern Ireland, a cloudy day but not huge | :28:00. | :28:07. | |
amounts of rain. Temperatures around 12 Celsius. For Scotland, it | :28:07. | :28:11. |
