0:00:40 > 0:00:46# Another head hangs lowly
0:00:46 > 0:00:51# Child is slowly taken
0:00:53 > 0:00:57# The violence causes silence
0:00:57 > 0:01:00# Who are we mistaken... #
0:01:00 > 0:01:03They tried to burn down a library.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Now the last group of people that tried to burn down libraries
0:01:07 > 0:01:09were the Nazis before the Second World War.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12# ..In your head, in your head
0:01:12 > 0:01:15# They're fighting
0:01:15 > 0:01:18# With their tanks and their bombs
0:01:18 > 0:01:20# And their bombs and their guns
0:01:20 > 0:01:23# In your head, in your head
0:01:23 > 0:01:26# They are crying
0:01:26 > 0:01:28# In your head
0:01:28 > 0:01:32# In your head... #
0:01:32 > 0:01:34I feel very bitter.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37I feel very angry.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40I feel completely alienated
0:01:40 > 0:01:47when I think that I was attending the funerals of my fellow countrymen
0:01:47 > 0:01:52all the time his emissaries were talking peace to these murderers!
0:01:55 > 0:01:58We've had no negotiations with the IRA
0:01:58 > 0:02:02about the future for Northern Ireland. We have said very clearly
0:02:02 > 0:02:05and repeatedly, that those negotiations, those discussions
0:02:05 > 0:02:09are only possible after a permanent cessation of violence.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11# What I got I got to give it to your mama
0:02:11 > 0:02:15# What I got I got to give it to your papa... #
0:02:15 > 0:02:18I think it's unfortunate.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22I think that the effect will be for Sinn Fein to say, "There we are,
0:02:22 > 0:02:26"we've got a concession before we renounce violence out of the Irish, let's get one out of the British."
0:02:35 > 0:02:42As it stands, whenever you read the document, yes, you can see that there could be peace there,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45but, for the Loyalists, there's an awful lot of trust
0:02:45 > 0:02:48for us to be giving to the British Government and the Irish Government.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51The declaration as it stands looks OK.
0:02:51 > 0:02:58- You will accept it as it stands, could you?- Yes, as long as what is on the paper actually came through.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08Britain has a role in reassuring and persuading the Unionist community
0:03:08 > 0:03:12that its position lies in reconciliation with the rest of the Irish people.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14# I like to move it, move it
0:03:14 > 0:03:18# I like to move it, move it I like to move it, move it
0:03:18 > 0:03:20# You like to move it... #
0:03:20 > 0:03:26I did believe that, by giving Mr Adams this limited visa to come here,
0:03:26 > 0:03:30that we might have a constructive role in pushing the peace process.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32# ..I like to move it, move it
0:03:32 > 0:03:34# I like to move it, move it
0:03:34 > 0:03:36# You like to move it... #
0:03:36 > 0:03:42They hope that by letting Gerry Adams come here for a couple of days on restricted conditions,
0:03:42 > 0:03:47that it will help to bring about the cessation of violence. I hope they're right.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I am quite confident that the IRA would respond positively
0:04:24 > 0:04:30to a package containing the principles, the process and the dynamic
0:04:30 > 0:04:37presented to the British Government as a result of the initiative undertaken by John Hume and myself.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41To the best of my knowledge, the IRA's door remains open.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54# Is it my imagination
0:04:54 > 0:05:00# Or have I finally found something worth living for?
0:05:06 > 0:05:11# I was looking for some action
0:05:11 > 0:05:17# But all I found was cigarettes and alcohol
0:05:24 > 0:05:27# You can wait for a lifetime... #
0:06:02 > 0:06:06I didn't wait 17 years to be told I was innocent of this.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08I always knew I was innocent of this.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12I think the whole sorry debacle of Guildford and Woolwich
0:06:12 > 0:06:15and events in Guildford police station has never been gotten at.
0:06:15 > 0:06:21I think that it's a travesty of justice as much for the victims
0:06:21 > 0:06:25as it was for the people who were put in prison for crimes they didn't commit.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28# But it's just your attitude
0:06:28 > 0:06:31# It's tearing me apart
0:06:31 > 0:06:33# It's ruining every day... #
0:07:08 > 0:07:11# Swing low in a darkless hour
0:07:11 > 0:07:13# And you turn and cower
0:07:13 > 0:07:15# See it turn to dust
0:07:15 > 0:07:17# Move on a stone dark night
0:07:17 > 0:07:18# We take to flight
0:07:18 > 0:07:20# Snowfall turns to... #
0:07:35 > 0:07:39This is a demonstration that people power is stronger,
0:07:39 > 0:07:42has more tenacity, has more dignity
0:07:42 > 0:07:46and will win than all the power the RUC have at their disposal.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51These armed men who are surrounding us,
0:07:51 > 0:07:54and those armed men who they supplied with weapons,
0:07:54 > 0:08:01who attack this demonstration and who are killing nationalists in the city of Belfast, are no match
0:08:01 > 0:08:07and will be no match against the nationalist people of Belfast - north, south, east and west!
0:08:14 > 0:08:16# Roughneck and rudeness
0:08:16 > 0:08:18# We should be using
0:08:18 > 0:08:21# On the ones that practise wicked charms
0:08:21 > 0:08:23# For the sword in the stone
0:08:23 > 0:08:24# Bad to the bone
0:08:25 > 0:08:28# Battle's not over even when it's won
0:08:28 > 0:08:31# And when a child is born
0:08:31 > 0:08:34# Into this world
0:08:34 > 0:08:39# It has no concept of the tone the skin it's living in
0:08:39 > 0:08:43# There's not a second
0:08:43 > 0:08:45# We're seven seconds away
0:08:46 > 0:08:48# And just as long as I stay... #
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Everything is up for grabs
0:08:52 > 0:08:57and slowly, but surely, the British Government is surrendering.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16# Confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur
0:09:16 > 0:09:18# Of what is known as...
0:09:18 > 0:09:19# Park life

0:09:49 > 0:09:51Bodies are piled on top of each other.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53They were obviously all sitting watching the game.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58The gunmen obviously came in, opened fire and the people were shot dead
0:09:58 > 0:10:01as they were sitting watching the game on TV.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06It's just beneath contempt...people who could carry out this type of thing.
0:10:06 > 0:10:13Let's just picture a future conversation that you may have with your daughter who asks you,
0:10:13 > 0:10:16"What did you do in your so-called war, Daddy?"
0:10:16 > 0:10:21And you will say, "I killed a man of 87.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23"He was sitting with his back to me.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26"He was watching the World Cup.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30"I shot him dead. He was 87."
0:10:30 > 0:10:35She won't think that the record of a hero. Will she?
0:10:35 > 0:10:36BELL TOLLS
0:10:46 > 0:10:48# Violently happy
0:10:50 > 0:10:53# Cos I love you
0:10:55 > 0:10:56# Violently happy... #
0:10:56 > 0:10:59I feel very empty.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01It's almost as if someone was dead.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06There's a lot of fans that would go just once a year to Daniel. That's their life.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09# .. Before I get into trouble... #
0:11:33 > 0:11:36We have said from the beginning of this process
0:11:36 > 0:11:40that our goal was seeing the end to violence in Northern Ireland
0:11:40 > 0:11:44and the beginning of a broad-based political process.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46# Streets like a jungle
0:11:46 > 0:11:49# So call the police... #
0:11:50 > 0:11:53I've no doubt that there are talks going on already.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57I don't think that the IRA would have launched out into the dark.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00They must have known that certain concessions were going to be made.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Now they're capitalising on that and demanding more, they're insatiable.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06# ..It's paranoid
0:12:06 > 0:12:09# On sunny beaches... #
0:12:11 > 0:12:16If he is attempting to get the Provisionals to the table
0:12:16 > 0:12:19without a total renunciation of violence, then I would deplore that.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22I also deplore the fact that it appears from that statement
0:12:22 > 0:12:26that he is joining with Adams in calling on the British Government
0:12:26 > 0:12:31to become the persuaders of Unionists to become a part of a united Ireland.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36It's just been announced that from midnight tonight, the leadership of the IRA...
0:12:36 > 0:12:41# Things can only get better
0:12:41 > 0:12:45# Can only get better
0:12:45 > 0:12:48# Now I found you... #
0:12:51 > 0:12:58Deep, deep suspicion because this talks about complete cessation of military operations.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00It doesn't say that that cessation is permanent.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04# ..Now I've found you
0:13:04 > 0:13:08# You, and you... #
0:13:08 > 0:13:12The onus is on Mr Major to seize this moment.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19I also want to appeal to the Unionists to join with us,
0:13:19 > 0:13:24to join with others, to join with all the people of this island.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26# ..In a different life... #
0:13:26 > 0:13:30We've just received a piece of paper, making that announcement
0:13:30 > 0:13:33from the IRA, announcing a total cessation of violence.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38That is a piece of news that will be welcomed by Irish people everywhere,
0:13:38 > 0:13:40but particularly the people on the streets of Northern Ireland.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49# ..Things can only get better
0:13:51 > 0:13:54# Can only get better
0:13:54 > 0:13:58# Now I've found you
0:13:58 > 0:14:04# Things can only get Things can only get better
0:14:04 > 0:14:10# Things can only get better Can only get better
0:14:10 > 0:14:13# Now I've found you... #
0:14:13 > 0:14:18It's extremely regrettable but, I think, because of the experience
0:14:18 > 0:14:21of the past five years, it's just sadly inevitable.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26Hopefully it will bring the sectarian confrontations, which have been extremely serious, to an end.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30# Ain't love, ain't love Ain't love a surprise
0:14:30 > 0:14:34# Ain't love, ain't love Ain't love a surprise... #
0:14:40 > 0:14:45So I said you are the first Prime Minister that ever asked
0:14:45 > 0:14:50a political opponent - ever - in this room, or outside this room,
0:14:50 > 0:14:56that if he doesn't swear that he believes in your truthfulness, then you will not speak to him.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58The Reverend Ian Paisley continued to read
0:14:58 > 0:15:01a further part of his statement to a Cabinet room,
0:15:01 > 0:15:05which, by that time, had no Prime Minister and no ministers in it.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10I think there's something going on that we don't know about.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13We already know that John Major hasn't been absolutely truthful
0:15:13 > 0:15:18and the IRA just won't stop suddenly after 25 years
0:15:18 > 0:15:20with nothing out of it.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22# ..As a matter of fact
0:15:22 > 0:15:24# At the drop of a hat
0:15:24 > 0:15:26# You're my love surprise... #
0:15:44 > 0:15:46What's wrong? I know, son.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50You have to use an actor's voice for this child.
0:15:59 > 0:16:05When the final history is written, there will be the names of many extraordinary men and women
0:16:05 > 0:16:11who have been a part of this process over many years, trying to move the process of peace forward,
0:16:11 > 0:16:15but one of the names that will be there will be Gerry Adams
0:16:15 > 0:16:19who has been a courageous leader in advancing the cause of peace.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35Get the hell out of Ireland and take all their troops out of Ireland and stay in England where they belong.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39# Creeps keep crawling Drunks keep falling
0:16:39 > 0:16:40# Teasers keep teasing... #
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Things should develop in such a way
0:16:44 > 0:16:48that there's no road back to terrorism for Sinn Fein, IRA.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51# ..Death keeps a knocking Souls are up for auction
0:16:51 > 0:16:53# Ain't no use in praying
0:16:53 > 0:16:57# That's the way it's staying... #
0:16:57 > 0:17:01It's a bit silly and a bit bizarre that you have to come to New York
0:17:01 > 0:17:04for us to have this discussion. Why not back in Belfast?
0:17:04 > 0:17:08- In due course these discussions can take place.- Why not now, Michael?
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- Rather than talk about the IRA and what it's going to do...- Why not?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- You speak for them, Mr Adams. - But you speak for the British Army.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20- But you speak for the IRA. - I do not.- Then who does?
0:17:44 > 0:17:47# Two can play that game
0:17:47 > 0:17:49# Two can play that game
0:17:49 > 0:17:53# Two can play that game
0:18:07 > 0:18:11# Lately you've been acting mighty strange
0:18:11 > 0:18:16# To me it seems your attitude has changed... #
0:18:16 > 0:18:18It is important that they cease their violence,
0:18:18 > 0:18:25that they cease it now, even if it is to be conditioned by being as permanent as the Provisional IRA's
0:18:25 > 0:18:27or lasting while the British Government allows
0:18:27 > 0:18:30the people of Northern Ireland and the principle of consent to reign.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33At least let us stop the violence and let us stop it now.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36# ..If you want to do your own thing
0:18:36 > 0:18:38# I hear what you're saying
0:18:38 > 0:18:42# Two can play that game you're playing
0:18:42 > 0:18:44# Two can play that game... #
0:18:44 > 0:18:51..Conveying Loyalist military command will universally cease all operational hostilities
0:18:51 > 0:18:57as from 12 midnight on Thursday, 13th October, 1994,
0:18:57 > 0:18:59in all sincerity.
0:18:59 > 0:19:04We offer to the loved ones, of all innocent victims
0:19:04 > 0:19:10over the past 25 years abject and true remorse.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13No words of ours will compensate
0:19:13 > 0:19:18for the intolerable suffering they have undergone during this conflict.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22Let us firmly resolve, therefore,
0:19:22 > 0:19:26to respect our differing views of freedom, culture and aspiration
0:19:26 > 0:19:30and never again permit our political circumstances
0:19:30 > 0:19:33to degenerate into bloody warfare.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38The Radio Ulster headlines this morning.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42The Loyalist ceasefire has been marked by modest celebrations in Belfast.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44# Don't stop moving, baby
0:19:44 > 0:19:48# All it's doing is driving me crazy... #
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I think it's good.
0:19:50 > 0:19:56It stops all the trouble. You're not as scared to come on the road in case there's a bomb or anything.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03Since I have always regarded the IRA ceasefire as permanent,
0:20:03 > 0:20:07I regard the Loyalist ceasefire as permanent also.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16# ..Don't stop moving, baby
0:20:16 > 0:20:20# All it's doing is driving me crazy... #
0:20:20 > 0:20:25Thousands of young men and women have suffered here through the Troubles.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26They've went to prison, they've left their families behind
0:20:26 > 0:20:30and she's sitting there saying you can't talk to murderers?
0:20:30 > 0:20:34She's calling the people out there in them streets murderers.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Here. Here.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39..Support those people who have fought republicanism.
0:20:39 > 0:20:46I want to remind you of one great Unionist, Edward Carson, when he said
0:20:46 > 0:20:48look after the minority.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50We didn't.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52And have we suffered for it!
0:20:52 > 0:20:55# Everything changes but you
0:20:55 > 0:20:57# We're a thousand miles apart
0:20:57 > 0:21:00# But you know I love you
0:21:00 > 0:21:02# Everything changes but you
0:21:02 > 0:21:05# You know every single day
0:21:05 > 0:21:07# I'll be thinking about you
0:21:07 > 0:21:10# Everything changes but you
0:21:10 > 0:21:12# We're a thousand miles apart
0:21:12 > 0:21:14# But I still love you
0:21:14 > 0:21:16# Everything changes but you
0:21:16 > 0:21:22# I'll spend every single day, thinking about you... #
0:21:27 > 0:21:30# I come home in the morning light
0:21:30 > 0:21:35# My mother says when you gonna live your life right?
0:21:35 > 0:21:38# Oh, mama dear, we're not the fortunate ones
0:21:38 > 0:21:42# And girls they wanna have fun
0:21:42 > 0:21:45# Oh, girls just wanna have fun... #
0:21:45 > 0:21:49There's a lot of people win money like this, they say it'll never change them.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Do you think it will change you?
0:21:51 > 0:21:52No, it couldn't.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55At my age, could it change me?
0:21:58 > 0:22:00# If it hadn't have been for Cotton Eye Joe
0:22:00 > 0:22:02# I'd have been married a long time ago
0:22:02 > 0:22:06# Where did you come from? Where did you go? Where did you come from Cotton Eye Joe?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08# If it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe
0:22:08 > 0:22:09# I'd have been married a long time ago.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11# Where did you come from, where did you go?
0:22:11 > 0:22:13# Where did you come from Cotton Eye Joe?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22# If it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe
0:22:22 > 0:22:23# I'd have been married a long time ago
0:22:23 > 0:22:26# Where did you come from, where did you go?
0:22:26 > 0:22:27# Where did you come from Cotton Eye Joe? #
0:22:27 > 0:22:34I am now prepared to make a working assumption that the ceasefire is intended to be permanent.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38This means we can move carefully towards the beginning of dialogue
0:22:38 > 0:22:41between Sinn Fein and the Government.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Peace cannot be assured finally
0:22:43 > 0:22:49until the paramilitaries on both sides hand in their weapons.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52# ..He came to town like a midwinter storm
0:22:52 > 0:22:56# He rode through the fields so handsome and strong
0:22:56 > 0:23:00# His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun
0:23:00 > 0:23:03# But all he had come for was having some fun... #
0:23:03 > 0:23:08Well, I have enough space at home that I can store it.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13And possibly even enough space that I can take it out for a drive, occasionally.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22I think the British Prime Minister has shown a degree of imagination.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Of course, there are many difficulties down the road,
0:23:25 > 0:23:28but it's quite clear we now have something to build upon.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33I would like to see now a rapid demilitarisation of the situation
0:23:33 > 0:23:37and the British soldiers taken off our streets.
0:23:56 > 0:24:01We've got a taste of peace now, we won't let go. I think
0:24:01 > 0:24:05there's the kind of community that won't let go. We will go forward.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09# Oh-oh, we're in trouble
0:24:09 > 0:24:13# Something's come along and it's burst our bubble
0:24:13 > 0:24:16# Oh-oh, we're in trouble
0:24:16 > 0:24:20# We'll catch a ticket on the next space shuttle
0:24:25 > 0:24:28# Yeah, yeah
0:24:30 > 0:24:32# Trouble. #
0:24:34 > 0:24:39Now that I am no longer in a position to make a further contribution as Taoiseach,
0:24:39 > 0:24:43I would appeal to all those who are and who will be in a position
0:24:43 > 0:24:48to influence the course of events to hold fast to and to build on
0:24:48 > 0:24:56what has been achieved for the sake of everybody living and for future generations on this island.
0:25:00 > 0:25:05I hereby declare John Bruton to have been nominated
0:25:05 > 0:25:08by Dail Eireann for appointment by An Taoiseach.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16The first duty of a government is to keep good order,
0:25:16 > 0:25:19which means promoting peace.
0:25:19 > 0:25:25Normal life in Northern Ireland is now our first national aim.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00We are here and we're entering these discussions
0:26:00 > 0:26:05on the basis of our electoral mandate and we hope to move speedily through
0:26:05 > 0:26:11these discussions towards inclusive peace talks with all the parties to the conflict involved.
0:26:43 > 0:26:48# I'm free to be whatever I,
0:26:48 > 0:26:50# Whatever I choose
0:26:50 > 0:26:54# And I'll sing the blues if I want... #
0:26:54 > 0:26:59I'm just hoping that everything goes well, that the peace process continues with its momentum.
0:26:59 > 0:27:04Are you behind the IRA's inclination to go along with the ceasefire?
0:27:04 > 0:27:08We're happy that everything is moving forward. Thank you.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10# ..You only see what people want you to see... #
0:27:17 > 0:27:20We expressed our disappointment at the British Government
0:27:20 > 0:27:25that the prisoner issue hadn't been dealt with properly, particularly at Christmas.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29We also pointed out to them that the perception in the Loyalist community within the prisons
0:27:29 > 0:27:34is that the British Government have become more hard line on prisoners
0:27:34 > 0:27:37since the Loyalist ceasefire and we feel that's a retrograde step.
0:27:37 > 0:27:42# ..I'm free to be wherever you...
0:27:42 > 0:27:47I'm talking in the first instance about their release for Christmas,
0:27:47 > 0:27:51- but this should only be the beginning...- A permanent release?
0:27:51 > 0:27:55A permanent release. Yes, I think so. It would have to be phased,
0:27:55 > 0:27:59but I believe it would be a positive contribution to the peace process.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Those who have been convicted independently by the courts
0:28:03 > 0:28:06must expect to serve their sentences according to law.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- So, no amnesty?- That is correct.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13# ..I'm free to be whatever I
0:28:13 > 0:28:18# Whatever I choose And I'll sing the blues if I want. #
0:28:19 > 0:28:22# Baby, if you've got to go away
0:28:22 > 0:28:26# Don't think I could take the pain
0:28:26 > 0:28:30# Won't you stay another day?
0:28:33 > 0:28:37# Baby, you're all I miss
0:28:37 > 0:28:41# Don't you say it's the final kiss
0:28:41 > 0:28:46# Won't you stay another day... #
