This is BBC World News Today with me Karin Giannone. | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
The British government approves a third runway to be built | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
at London's Heathrow airport after decades of indecision. | :00:17. | :00:24. | |
We think this is the right project for the United Kingdom and it is one | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
that will deliver benefits for the whole United Kingdom. French | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
authorities begin dismantling the Calle camp known as the Jungle, but | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
hundreds of migrants have already slipped away into the countryside. | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
And tragedy at Australia's most famous theme park as four people | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
After decades of delays - the British government has approved | :00:47. | :01:06. | |
the expansion of Heathrow airport in London. | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
The decision has been highly divisive with much political | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
opposition and concerns about the environment. | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
Heathrow Airport's new third runway won't open until 2025 | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
at the earliest but it will be built just north of the existing runways | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
between these two villages which are set to be flattened | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
It's already Europe's busiest airport - with 75 million passengers | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
The next busiest was the airport in Paris, which saw 66 million | :01:34. | :01:44. | |
passengers last year, followed by Istanbul at 62 million | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
According to ACI Europe, more than 1.8 billion passengers | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
pass through Europe's airports ever year, | :01:52. | :01:52. | |
It is a hugely controversial decision here in the UK. Our | :01:53. | :02:03. | |
political editor has been speaking to the Transport Secretary. | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
I have taken a decision that we believe is in the best interest of | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
the UK and that will send a message and create the regional connectivity | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
that will demonstrate far the whole country that we are governing body | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
for country and this is about what is best for Britain. Can you | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
guarantee this is going to be built? Goal we will not shy away from what | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
is best for Britain. We will see this through. Yes, there will be | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
challenges on the way but this is a decision that has been taken after a | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
lengthy process, a detailed analysis, much consideration. We | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
believe this is the right decision for Britain. That was the Transport | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
Secretary. The Government is not united on this issue, though. The | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, was against expanding Heathrow when | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
he was Mayor of London. This is what he had to say. If and when a third | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
runway were to be built. I don't think it will be, but suppose it | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
would be, there would be an overwhelming clamour to build a | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
fourth runway by the end of completion. And then what would | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
London be like? You would have a new York City of beautiful skyscrapers, | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
Paris the city of light, London the city of planes. Those in favour of | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
future's expansion claim it will produce thousands of jobs. Our | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
transport correspondent Richard Wescott reports. | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
Heathrow is always at full throttle. Planes take off and land every 90 | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
seconds. From 430 in the morning till long into the night. They can't | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
squeeze in more flights, so today it has been cleared for expansion. It | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
is vital for the whole country that we connect all the UK to the growing | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
markets of the world. That is what the drug does. And we have been | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
missing out by not having more flights from Inverness and Liverpool | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
and Newquay to the UK boss Mike Hub airport and on to the emerging | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
markets. It is not just about emerging markets. A quarter of you | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
dash-mac the UK's exports leave on planes from Heathrow. This freight | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
firm says they are so short from flights, they're having to ship | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
business to foreign airports. Expansion is vital. It is going to | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
open up new markets. It is going to present -- prevent cargo leaving | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
from Heathrow on drugs each day out to European airports. We can bring | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
it back into the UK and process it and put it on flights leaving from | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
Heathrow. It is estimated the new runway will eventually create nearly | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
77,000 new jobs and boost the economy by ?61 billion over 60 | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
years. That is a new mutt cautious Government figure, much lower than | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
previous estimates. But the road and rail improvements could cost ?5 | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
million. It will have to come from the taxpayer, and some fear oxygen | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
mag fears could rise to pay for it all. -- Fouts. Both fares are a | :05:05. | :05:17. | |
concern for the UK's biggest provider. It is going to be a daily | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
task and fight right throughout two make sure that airlines get value | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
from the airport in relation to this because the airport has a history of | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
inflating investments or that it inflates its reward. We can't allow | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
that to happen. This isn't a firework display. It is a traffic | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
control over south-east England, the most complex our on earth. An extra | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
quarter of a million flights will mean more noise and dirtier air. Air | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
pollution across the UK is damaging the health of thousands of people. | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
It is known to cause over 40,000 premature deaths across the UK and | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
it is particularly serious in hotspots such as can be found around | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
Heathrow. So we really desperately need the Government to take | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
immediate action if they really think that it is important to | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
protect people but might help from the damage caused by air pollution. | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
The Government has given the go-ahead but there is a lot of | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
arguing to be done before any planes are doing this on a new third | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
runway. That was our transport correspondent Richard Wescott | :06:22. | :06:21. | |
reporting. Workers have begun dismantling | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
the migrant camp known as the Jungle, in the French | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
port of Calais. Buses have been taking migrants away | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
from the camp for a second day - but there are new concerns that | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
hundreds - if not thousands - who'd been living there - | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
have gone missing. There are suggestions that many | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
are planning to return - Our correspondent Lucy Williamson | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
sends this report. The Jungle is emptying | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
a little more each day. Far harder to know for sure | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
where everyone has gone. Mohamed isn't planning on leaving, | :06:48. | :06:59. | |
even though you can clearly see police vans from the water tap | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
near his tent. When police broke into my home, | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
I still stay in the tree. You're going to go into the | :07:05. | :07:15. | |
woods here? There's talk of new camps springing | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
up around Calais even before No problem, I go to | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
another Jungle. Aid workers estimate that perhaps | :07:24. | :07:31. | |
2,000 migrants have slipped away to sleep rough around Calais, | :07:32. | :07:40. | |
or head towards other We've seen other people before that | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
have escaped into the forest I think people will try | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
and disappear, at least at first. And then maybe go on to other places | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
like Normandy, and other places As the first empty shelters | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
were dismantled, social workers, backed by police, went door to door | :07:58. | :08:07. | |
encouraging residents to leave. Aid workers have told us that | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
lots of people have left this camp and melted into the | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
fields around Calais. The government says thousands have | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
got on the official buses to leave. But there are still many, | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
many people living here in the Jungle with no | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
sign of leaving. But it's a reminder that | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
as the numbers dwindle, How far into this process have the | :08:31. | :09:02. | |
authorities got tonight? Well, day two of this operation to evict and | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
relocate thousands of migrants has now drawn to a close. The queues | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
have gone away and there have been no buses leaving for the past hour | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
or so. We have decided listed figures from the French authorities | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
who say that now in total over the past few days of this operation 4014 | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
migrants have been given shelter, so they had been through the processing | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
plant behind me and have boarded buses and were taken to what they | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
are calling welcome and orientation centres across France. They're also | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
saying that today alone at 372 unaccompanied children have now been | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
moved to a secure part of the camp and are now sleeping in shipping | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
containers. Might not sound very nice, but much better and safer than | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
the tents they had been living in before. Unaccompanied children have | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
been a real cause for concern for a number of the organisations working | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
on the ground here. Save the Children earlier today asked | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
authorities to delay the demolition of the camp until they had been | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
accounted for. It did not seem that that had happened, and as he saw | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
from the report, demolition began earlier today. They started to | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
dismantle parts of the cap by hand and then small builders -- | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
bulldozers came in to remove the debris from that area of the camp. | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
We were in the cap an hour or so ago, and everything was calm. Some | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
fires had been lit, some of them just bonfires and others where tents | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
had been set on fire but in the last few moments, we have seen a number | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
of police riot vans and fire engines move down towards the camp. We are | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
about 500 yards from it at the moment. So the French authorities | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
always said this would be a swift operation and it has been swift, but | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
perhaps not quite as swift as they had intended. They been very clear | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
about the fact that this camp will close and it will be cleared by the | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
end of the week. But as you sock in the report, there are still at least | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
1000 migrants living in the camp, some of them showing no sign of | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
leaving just yet. The French authorities said that they will give | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
everyone as much opportunity as they can to come here voluntarily, but | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
they have sent that they will intervene if they have to. Thank you | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
very much. You may remember the scandal that | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
erupted in September last year when the German car giant Volkswagen | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
was caught cheating has given final approval | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
to a 14.7 billion dollar settlement. It means they can start buying back | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
hundreds of thousands Our business correspondent | :11:25. | :11:26. | |
Michelle Fleury is in New York. A huge sum. Is this the final say at | :11:27. | :11:42. | |
least on this part of the matter? Well, I think is part of the matter, | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
yes. This is the final say, if you like. It brings together regulators, | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
lawyers for owners of about 407 to 5000 vehicles and VW. They | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
negotiated a settlement and today the judge has approved it. Now that | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
paves the way for owners of the affected vehicles in this particular | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
instance. We're only talking up two later cars from VW here in America. | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
They can now either sell back their cars to the company or opt to get it | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
fixed. They will also receive some compensation for all the trouble | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
they've been through. But this does not cover three later diesel cars. | :12:20. | :12:27. | |
So that settlement or that agreement with owners of those vehicles still | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
has yet to be reached. Yes, and it is only the United States we are | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
talking about. Where is VW now with the other challenger faces in | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
Europe, for example? We're heard from the EU yesterday urging the | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
company to do more to try and fixed and address the concerns of | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
customers in Europe. Part of the reason is that this scandal came to | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
the surface in the US, so a lot of the focus has been there. I think | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
that is why you're starting to see you ready later is making more | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
noise. Of course, the company had been at the time that this all | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
erupted into Demo 2015 trying to make an aggressive push into the | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
American market to gain more market share. That has really had to be | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
pushed to the side while it focuses on trying to address this issue on | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
both sides of the continent and at the same time, the company has also | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
lost its Chief Executive throughout this process. Michelle, we heard | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
Volkswagen has set aside an enormous amount of money to deal with all | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
this. Is the thinking that it may have to come up with even more? If | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
you look at the settlement today, it is $14 billion. The company we | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
understand has set aside around or up to $20 billion. At the same time, | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
given how many more issues are still out there, it is hard to say whether | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
they will have to put more money aside. There is the Justice | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
Department here in the United States still investigating. A settlement | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
may be reached there and that will involve more money. There are the | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
sums that the company is paying to its dealers in America. There are | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
lawsuits not just here in America but also in other parts of the | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
world, so the final tally is still mounting. Thanks very much. | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
the deadliest ever for migrants crossing the Mediterranean | :14:16. | :14:17. | |
The United Nations refugee agency says this year is likely to be | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
the deadliest ever for migrants crossing the Mediterranean | :14:20. | :14:21. | |
have died since the start of January, with the most dangerous | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
The International Energy Agency says renewable electricity has overtaken | :14:27. | :14:33. | |
coal to become the largest source of power capacity worldwide. | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
A new report by the agency says half-a-million solar panels | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
were installed every day around the world last year. | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
China accounted for forty per cent of all renewable capacity increases. | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
A Canadian nurse has been charged with murdering eight elderly | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
patients at nursing homes in the province of Ontario. | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
She's been identified her as 49-year-old Elizabeth | :14:59. | :15:00. | |
The victims - aged from 75 to 96 - had been given an unspecified drug. | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
The alleged murders took place between 2007 and 2014. | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
A local police chief said officers began investigating after receiving | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
a tip-off, but he wouldn't speculate about a motive. | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
Police in the Australian state of Queensland are investigating | :15:19. | :15:20. | |
an accident at the country's largest theme park, that left | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
The two men and two women were on a circular raft | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
which over-turned on a water ride at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast. | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
Witnesses said they had heard terrible screams when the raft | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
overturned at Australia's biggest theme park. | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
Early investigations suggest that water pushed one craft | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
into another, forcing it to tip over. | :15:44. | :15:55. | |
Two of the victims were thrown of the | :15:56. | :16:03. | |
Thunder River Rapids ride, according to ambulance officials, who have | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
Two other people died after being trapped inside. | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
That was probably the first ride I went on | :16:12. | :16:13. | |
Obviously, the kids on board were screaming. | :16:14. | :16:24. | |
We were waiting there for about half an hour. | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
They drained all the water out and then | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
had to refill and back-up and then we were allowed to go. | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
The police say that a crime scene has been | :16:34. | :16:35. | |
established at the popular tourist destination south-east of Brisbane. | :16:36. | :16:37. | |
The Queensland coroner is also conducting an enquiry into the | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
deaths of four people aged in their 30s and 40s. | :16:41. | :16:42. | |
Our thoughts and prayers are of course with the | :16:43. | :16:44. | |
families of those who have lost loved ones. | :16:45. | :16:46. | |
On what should have been a wonderful family day out. | :16:47. | :16:48. | |
But understandably, what people have | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
witnessed there today at Dreamworld has been | :16:52. | :16:53. | |
Australia's Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said | :16:54. | :17:00. | |
be a place for family fun and happiness, not tragedy. | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
The Thunder River Rapids ride is described on | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
Dreamworld's website as a moderate thrill, | :17:09. | :17:10. | |
The park will be closed indefinitely while investigations continue. | :17:11. | :17:18. | |
An attack in the dead of night, targetting a police training | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
college in Pakistan, has killed at least 60 cadets | :17:22. | :17:23. | |
Militants burst into the hostel for trainees in Quetta. | :17:24. | :17:32. | |
Both so-called Islamic State - and a Taliban splinter group | :17:33. | :17:34. | |
young recruits of Quetta Police Academy as three militants wielding | :17:35. | :17:53. | |
guns and wearing suicide bomber jackets broke in and started a | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
Shooting down police cadets and throwing hand | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
Almost 500 police cadets and trainers were rescued after a | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
military operation lasting several hours. | :18:04. | :18:05. | |
Two militants blew up their | :18:06. | :18:06. | |
Most of the victims were police cadets. | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
The local District Hospital was filled with survivors. | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
More than the wounds, they appeared stunned by | :18:16. | :18:17. | |
Abdul was among those who hid in a closet | :18:18. | :18:25. | |
as the militants picked off his colleagues one by one. | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
TRANSLATION: We were hiding in a room. | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
My cousin shouted when he got shot in the eye. | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
When they come inside, the suicide bomber blew himself up. | :18:37. | :18:42. | |

Academy, scene of last night's carnage. | :18:57. | :18:58. | |
This is the third time this very building has come under attack, | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
located on a road where security forces are often targeted by | :19:02. | :19:03. | |
As the city once again buries its dead, questions are | :19:04. | :19:16. | |
now being raised as to how well prepared the Government is to deal | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
The Government admits there is a problem. | :19:21. | :19:22. | |
You have to be more vigilant and agility has | :19:23. | :19:24. | |
Having said all this, we still are humans. | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
If there are lapses, we will take them into account. | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
We are not shifting the responsibility. | :19:35. | :19:35. | |
Quetta has seen many similar attacks by both | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
separatists and various Islamist militant factions over the recent | :19:41. | :19:42. | |
Meanwhile, in the city, the people prepare once more to bury | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
In Iraq, the slow assault against so-called Islamic State goes on. | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
There are reports of more clashes in the western Iraqi town of Rutba, | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
where militants launched a surprise attack on Sunday. | :19:57. | :19:58. | |
Meanwhile around Mosul, Kurdish forces taking part | :19:59. | :20:00. | |
in the offensive to retake the city are besieging a key | :20:01. | :20:02. | |
On a visit to France, the US Defence Secretary Ash Carter | :20:03. | :20:12. | |
spoke about widening the battle against IS beyond Mosul. | :20:13. | :20:21. | |
With our local partners in the Rocky security forces, -- the Iraq | :20:22. | :20:34. | |
security forces, we have commenced the operation in Mosul. The Iraqis | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
are fighting with skill and courage, enabled by the coalition. And today, | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
we as members of the coalition resolved to follow through with that | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
same sense of urgency and focus on developing and collapsing the | :20:50. | :21:00. | |
control of Islamic State over Raqqa as well. We have already begun | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
laying the groundwork to commence the isolation of Raqqa. | :21:04. | :21:05. | |
We're just hours away from the awarding of | :21:06. | :21:07. | |
the Man Booker Prize for fiction, one of the most prestigious prizes | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
Let's have a look at some of the contenders on the shortlist | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
Scottish author Graeme Macrae Burnet has 3 to 1 odds for crime | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
From the UK Deborah Levy is nominated for Hot Milk which sees | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
a woman forced to confront her difficult relationship | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
with her mother when the pair travel to Spain to try to find a cure | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
Canada's Madeleine Thien Do Not Say We Have Nothing | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
Her novel is about a young woman who flees China in the aftermath | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
Our Arts Correspondent Rebecca Jones is at London's Guildhall. | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
She has been speaking to some of the judges. Hello and welcome to the | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
Guildhall, we're in a few hours, we will find out who has won one of the | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
world's most important literary prizes. It promises to be quite a | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
party. 500 guests are expected from the champagne reception behind us | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
and among them, the six writers short listed for the prize this | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
year. One of them, this will be a career defining moment. I am | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
delighted to say that we are joined by two of this year's judges. The | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
actress Olivia Williams and the writer and academic John Day. Thank | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
you for joining us. Olivia, you read 135 books as part of this process. | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
Where and when? Everywhere. In bed. I would not speak to my family | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
unless they had a candle stuck to their face. -- a reader structure | :22:28. | :22:37. | |
their face. I would have read while cycling if I could have done. John, | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
what made the six books that you selected for the short list stand | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
out? It is hard to isolate any one particular characteristic, but we | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
all felt that a prize like this rewards readability and the ability | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
of a novel to sustain and reveal new parts of itself through multiple | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
encounters. We have all read the short list of books many, many times | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
now and that is the main quality which I think we are judging. | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
Olivia, by all accounts you were quite a feisty bunch of judges this | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
year, with people threatening to jump off bridges and are themselves | :23:14. | :23:15. | |
out of windows and their book did not make the cut. Naming no names. | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
So how did you go about picking a winner? We deferred to our very fine | :23:21. | :23:27. | |
chairperson, Amanda Foreman, who ran a strict comment and no | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
interruptions and run up onto the next judge and then we went to the | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
full gamut of electoral possibilities from first past the | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
post to proportional representation to how does this make you feel and | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
how does this make you feel was the winner. And we all felt incredibly | :23:43. | :23:50. | |
excited by the result. It is such an intriguing mix this year, John. You | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
have some crime, thrillers, historical drama, even a bit of | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
comedy. Tell me, does it come down to the best book or is it the best | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
arguments by certain judges? Good question. Difficult to separate the | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
two. Once we have exhausted all of our various voting methods, I think | :24:08. | :24:15. | |
what we settled on was that visceral feeling of first encountering these | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
novels and how they made us feel and how it felt to have with them for | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
ten months and revisit them, so put forward all of our very nuanced and | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
intellectually advanced arguments and settled on feeling. A very quick | :24:27. | :24:33. | |
final question. Are you believed it is all over? I am still with the | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
euphoria. Tomorrow morning, when my hangover sets in, I will be | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
relieved, but right now I am very excited at being here. Yes, I think | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
families will be excited. John day, Olivia Williams, 20 very much. We | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
will bring you the announcement of the winner live in a special | :24:54. | :25:02. | |
programme and that begins at 9:30pm. A special programme on BBC world | :25:03. | :25:04. | |
