The man who killed the Surrey schoolgirl Milly Dowler is told he | :00:05. | :00:09. | |
will spend the rest of his life in jail. | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
Levi Bellfield is already serving life for murdering two other women. | :00:12. | :00:22. | |
:00:22. | :00:23. | ||
The judge called him a "cruel and pitiless killer". I hope, whilst he | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
is in prison, he is treated with the same brutality he dealt out to | :00:28. | :00:35. | |
his victims, and that his life is a living hell. In my eyes, justice is | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
an eye for an eye. You brutally murder someone, you should pay the | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
ultimate price - A Life For A Life. Milly's family say the horrifying | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
ordeal of their daughter's murder trial has been a mentally scarring | :00:48. | :00:55. | |
experience. We despair of a justice system loaded in favour of the | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
perpetrator of the crime. As a result of the case ,the | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
Director of Public Prosecutions says he will look into the | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
treatment of victims and witnesses. Also tonight: | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
The Governor of the Bank of England says the Greek debt crisis is the | :01:08. | :01:16. | |
biggest threat to Britain's economy. The most serious risk to the UK | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
financial system stems from the worsening sovereign debt crisis in | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
euro area countries. Massive demand for the second round | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
of Olympic tickets means most sports have now sold out. It's | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
mainly football left. It made home furnishing fashionable | :01:28. | :01:31. | |

The man who killed the schoolgirl Milly Dowler, will never be | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
released from jail. Levi Bellfield is already serving life for | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
murdering two other women. He was described by the judge as a cruel | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
and pitiless killer. Milly's family bitterly attacked the ordeal of the | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
trial itself, saying it had been a "living hell" which had made them | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
feel as if they were on trial. The Director of Public Prosecutions has | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
promised to review the treatment of victims and witnesses. And, | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
following criticism from the families of all three murdered | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
women, Surrey Police has apologised for errors which allowed Bellfield | :02:41. | :02:50. | |
to go undetected for so long. Robert Hall reports. | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
Her normal girl, snatched in the blink of an eye on what should have | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
been a normal day. -- a normal girl. A girl whose innermost thoughts and | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
secrets were revealed to a court and the world, on the instructions | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
of a killer eager to divert a jury from his crimes by painting a | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
picture of a troubled teenager who ran away from home. But he failed | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
in that intent. Today, Milly Dowler's family emerged to speak | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
passionately of the happy girl they lost, and the trauma of the past | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
six weeks. To actually see that man in court, a man capable of such a | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
vile and inhuman crime, has been grotesque and distressing for us. | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
The lengths the system goes to to protect his human rights seems so | :03:35. | :03:44. | |
unfair, compared to what we as a family have had to endure. I hope, | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
whilst he is in prison, he is treated with the same brutality he | :03:48. | :03:55. | |
dealt out to his victims, and that his life is a living hell. Levi | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
Bellfield was not in court number eight this morning. He had refused | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
to play any further part in the proceedings. Passing sentence, the | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
trial judge said Milly Dowler had been in the wrong place at the | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
wrong time. She had become a target of Levi Bellfield's on reasoning | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
hatred. He had been a cruel and pitiless killer. Then, referring to | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
the empty dock, the judge said that Bellfield had not even had the | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
courage to come to court to face his victims and receive the | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
sentence. Gemma Dowler said her little sister had been a star. The | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
loss and the trial had put the family grew unbearable pain. | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
was the best sister anyone could ask for. She was a shoulder to cry | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
on, a fashion guru, a person who could make you laugh even when you | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
felt sad, and she would light up a room as soon as she entered. The | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
past few months have been some of the toughest times for the whole | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
family. I can honestly say that the day my mother and father were | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
questioned by the defence QC was the worst day of my life. With | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
regard to the question of justice, in my eyes justice is an eye for an | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
eye. You brutally murder someone, you should pay the ultimate prize. | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
A Life for a life. So in my eyes, no real justice has been done. | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
once happy family say they have been scarred forever by the events | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
of the past 10 years. Without Milly, their lives are incomplete. | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
Tomorrow, Saturday 25th June, would have been Milly's 23rd berth | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
they've. We will remember the happy, fun-loving talented girl that she | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
was he was never allowed to fulfil her potential. This is a gap in our | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
lives that can never be filled. the words of the judge, memories of | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
Milly Dowler will survive and be cherry -- cherished long after Levi | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
Bellfield has been forgotten. Memories that are a heavy burden to | :05:53. | :06:01. | |
a family trying to move on. Levi Bellfield was also accused of | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
trying to abduct another girl the day before he snatched Milly Dowler, | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
but that case was dropped today. The judge said media coverage of | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
the conviction of Bellfield for Milly's murder made it impossible | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
for the jury to deliver a fair verdict. Meanwhile, Milly Dowler's | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
family said they felt her daughter -- their daughter's name had been | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
defamed by the trial. The trial of Levi Bellfield has | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
ended with his victims complaining they have been let down, by the | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
police, by the media and by the courts themselves. Milly Dowler | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
Cosmen family, seen here after giving evidence in the trial, say | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
the court process saw them not as grieving witnesses, but like | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
defendants. -- Milly Dowler's family. Today, the family suggested | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
it had been too much to bear. family has had to pay too high a | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
price for this conviction. The pain and agony we have endured as a | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
family since 21st March 2002 has been compounded by the devastating | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
effects of the trial. This afternoon the Director of Public | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
Prosecutions, Keir Starmer, said the Ministry of Justice was looking | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
at the matter. This trial has raised some fundamental questions | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
about the treatment of victims and witnesses in the court process. | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
Those questions require answers, he said. I have spoken to the Director | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
of Public Prosecutions and he, like me, feels this case shines a light | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
on the fact that we have to have a fundamental rethink of the way | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
victims are treated by the criminal justice system. The police's | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
handling of the case has come under fire, with calls for an official | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
inquiry. I believe you took her off the street that day. I believe your | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
motivation was sexual. I believe you killed her. That is the truth, | :07:49. | :07:56. | |
isn't it? No. These pictures show Bellfield being questioned about | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
Milly's death five years before he was charged with her murder, and | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
despite the fact that detectives had previously not on his door 11 | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
times. He had gone on to kill two more young women. Today, Milly's | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
mother suggested it took too long for the inquiry to get going. | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
DCI Maria Woodall took charge of the investigation we at last felt | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
but progress was being made, and she made every attempt to correct | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
some of the attempts up the mistakes of their predecessors. | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
Surrey Police apologise to the family for mistakes they had made. | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
House-to-house inquiries were not exhausted and an earlier possible | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
lead was not pursued, they admitted. The media is also criticised for | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
coverage which led to the jury being dismissed before they could | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
deliver a verdict on another charge against Bellfield, that he | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
attempted to abduct an 11-year-old girl the day before money | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
disappeared. The judge blamed an avalanche of deplorable publicity, | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
as the alleged victim, now 20, spoke of her disgust on the steps | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
of the court. I am extremely hurt and angry that some of the media | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
reporting has meant this case has now robbed me of justice, and the | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
chance for justice for what happened in 2002. The judge has | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
asked the Attorney General to consider contempt proceedings | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
against journalists, but some media lawyers are suggesting the judge | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
himself should have been clearer. If a warning had been given to the | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
media not to report anything about the conviction of Levi Bellfield in | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
relation to the killing of Milly Dowler, in those circumstances we | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
would have had an opportunity to get a conviction in relation to the | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
other. Thank you. As the family left the court today, the Ministry | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
of Justice said it recognised the trauma suffered by families | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
bereaved through murder and would review the support victims receive. | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
Bellfield is convicted, but tonight journalists, detectives and lawyers | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
stand accused. In pursuing justice done and justice seen to be done, | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
sometimes the system can make the pain even worse. | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
European Union leaders have agreed in principle to a second bail-out | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
package for Greece if it imposes the necessary austerity measures | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
and spending cuts. Shortly after agreement was reached, the Governor | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
of the Bank of England, Mervyn King, warned that the eurozone debt | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
crisis poses the most immediate threat to the UK's financial | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
stability. The Bank of England, in its new | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
role to prevent a recurrence of the great financial crash of 2007-2008, | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
has identified the turmoil, the storm in the eurozone as posing the | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
greatest dangers to our banks. most serious and immediate risk to | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
the UK financial system stems from the worsening sovereign debt crisis | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
in several of euro area countries. This is the clear and Present | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
danger - Greece, where thousands are protesting against public | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
spending cuts and tax rises, austerity which eurozone ministers | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
are demanding as the price of financial support to prevent the | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
country going bust. Meet the men of the Bank of England - and they are | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
all men - charged with reducing risks in the banking system. The | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
majority of bankers have told them that Government debts going bad as | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
their greatest anxiety. The Bank of England says that based on the | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
current price for insuring debt, investors believe there is an 80% | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
probability that Greece will not be able to repay all of its debts, and | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
no chance of almost 50% at both Ireland and Portugal will at some | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
point default. Slightly more encouraging, the Bank of England's | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
disclosure that the direct loans of British banks, big British banks, | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
to Greece are not huge. But that does not mean that the eurozone's | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
financial crisis could not cause severe problems for the British | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
banking system and the British economy. Experience has shown that | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
contagion can spread through financial markets. A UK bank could | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
have lent to a bank that itself hadn't meant to a bank that in turn | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
was exposed to sovereign risk. -- that had lent to a bank. Today, EU | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
leaders agreed to prop up Greece with new loans subject to the Greek | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
parliament voting through new austerity measures. But one leader | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
is not lending more. We are not in the eurozone, so it would be | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
drawing to be drawn into the European element of a future | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
payment. I sought assurances on that and I got them. What is the | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
Bank of England's view of the new Euro loans to Greece? Simply the | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
belief that we will just lend a bit more will never be an answer to a | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
problem which is essentially one of solvency. It can buy time and | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
opportunities like this. Maybe that time is useful, but only if it is | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
used to put in place a more fundamental solution. To put it | :12:50. | :12:56. | |
another way, the eurozone loan by itself will not harm the euros | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
storm swirling around Greece and Europe's banks. | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
Gavin Hewitt is in Brussels, where the European leaders have been | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
meeting. It has been a tumultuous week for Greece and the whole | :13:08. | :13:18. | |
:13:18. | :13:19. | ||
Europe's leaders left here with a great sense of apprehension. They | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
simply don't know what will happen in Greece next week, whether the | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
parliament will be able to push through these austerity measures. | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
There are signs from grace that opposition to the courts is growing. | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
A poll out today says 70% of Greek people oppose these cuts, and that | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
begs the question what will happen if there is resistance? Bear in | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
mind that in the next few weeks, the Greek government as it stands | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
will run out of cash and that is why one very senior EU official | :13:52. | :13:59. | |
said we are actually standing on the edge of a cliff. | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
London 2012 organisers have said this evening that 17 Olympic sport | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
have now sold out after a frenetic second round of sales. Tickets | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
remain for only five sports - football, volleyball, wrestling, | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
weightlifting and boxing. Over 2 million tickets went on sale this | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
morning on the London 2012 website, and demand was so high the system | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
struggled to cope. Never has an Olympics been in quite so much | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
demand. The quest for an elusive golden ticket to the Games goes on. | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
This was the scene up and down the country as Olympic enthusiast woke | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
up early to be online when the sale started at 6 am. This family in | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
Nottingham got in quickly. The system was slow but eventually they | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
did manage to submit an application. We were well planned and we sorted | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
out what we wanted to go for, and in the end we ended up going for | :14:56. | :15:03. | |
anything because the things we wanted were not available. Others | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
have less look more growth. Sally in Plymouth was held up online for | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
half-an-hour, and now fears the worst when the results are revealed | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
this weekend. I am not feeling confident of getting the tickets. | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
Unless you were in ride at the beginning of the session this | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
morning and successfully submitted, you have not got much hope. This | :15:26. | :15:34. | |
stage of the process is open until July the third. Those who had some | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
good luck in the initial ballot can apply for or scraps that are left | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
from July 8th. In December, more of these tickets will be released for | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
sale. All over the Olympic Park, sold-out signs can be prepared. | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
Tickets for hand ball have now gone, a sport hardly known in the UK. | :15:55. | :16:01. | |
Seats for hockey were also taken this morning, and judo as well. | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
Nearly �400 million has already been raised from tickets out of a | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
total target of 500 million, and we are still more than one year from | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
the start of the Games. Nobody could have predicted that people | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
would be looking on at 6 am desperately trying to get their | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
hands on tickets to the sort of sport some people had feared might | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
never sell. British competitors like Ben Ainslie can already be | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
sure they will be watched by capacity crowds. It is just | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
fantastic, the interest in the Olympic Games, and that will be an | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
important part of it, having the atmosphere. It is difficult with | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
the demand for the tickets, there will always be people missing out. | :16:42. | :16:50. | |
It will be a spectacle the like of which this country has never seen | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
before. The reality is that most people will have to settle for | :16:53. | :17:03. | |
:17:03. | :17:04. | ||
watching on television. Coming up: it is Murray magic on | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
Centre Court as he secures a place in the 4th round of Wimbledon. | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
The pioneering home design company Habitat has announced its UK arm | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
has gone into administration. Up to 30 Habitat stores outside London | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
will close and hundreds of jobs are at risk. It was the brand that | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
summed up the Swinging 60s with its pastel colours and Conran designs, | :17:26. | :17:36. | |
:17:36. | :17:38. | ||
but it has been overtaken in recent years by retail giants like Ikea. | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
The British high street had seen nothing like it before, a breath of | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
fresh air into our houses and how we live. Habitat created a design | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
revolution which the 60s baby boomers laptop. Low-maintenance | :17:52. | :17:59. | |
chic home where, and not a chintz print in sight. From its heyday to | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
a black day, only this store in London and two others in the | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
capital will survive. 30 stores around the country will go, along | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
with more than 700 jobs. When money for essentials is tight, fancy | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
house furnishings are the luxury and Habitat is paying a private -- | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
heavy price for that. There is also poignancy in its demise, as an idea | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
it has become a victim of its own success, having persuaded the | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
British public good design is affordable for everyone, other | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
shops selling the same idea have sprung up everywhere pricing | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
Habitat out of the market. The biggest beast in that market is | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
Ikea with its cheap flat-pack do- it-yourself chic. It has created | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
its own homogenous culture, nodding to Habitat's original idea at a | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
fraction of the cost. They are selling stuff you would buy a in | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
Ikea but it is more expensive, that is part of the problem. For those | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
of us who remember it from the 60s, it is a bit of a loss but it has | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
not been the same for years. Terence Conran today said in | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
typical 60s fashion that he was sad his love child, Habitat, appears to | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
be dying. For many people of a particular generation, Habitat was | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
more than just a shop. It was an extraordinarily interesting and | :19:24. | :19:31. | |
brave experiment. You can't point tours single Habitat item that you | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
can say represents Habitat, it is more of an idea. Happy Habitat | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
customers found it to be true that your life can be enhanced by having | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
a better teapot. Everything you needed for a tasteful lifestyles. | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
Habitat's place in the history of design is assured, not least | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
because so many others have successfully mimicked it. | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
In Libya, the opposition has drawn up what they say are detailed plans | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
to rebuild the nation's society if and when Colonel Gaddafi is no | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
longer in power. In Tripoli, they say there is an increasingly well- | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
organised network of anti-Gaddafi activist. Their counterpart in | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
Benghazi have been speaking to the BBC about their campaign and how | :20:19. | :20:28. | |
they plan to respond if events reach crisis point. | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
All ordinary life is on hold in this city, even for the children. | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
Schools are closed, so instead they march and wait for the fall of | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
Gaddafi. But the question is, how mighty fall? And with how much | :20:44. | :20:52. | |
violence? People are wondering what awaits them. For the first time, | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
the rebels have confirmed to the BBC their link to an underground | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
network in Tripoli. This member of the once banned Libyan Muslim | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
Brotherhood is now part of the rebel leadership and every night he | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
speaks by satellite phone to 100 people across Tripoli to plan for | :21:09. | :21:19. | |
:21:19. | :21:19. | ||
if and when the Gaddafi regime collapses. We are sure the uprising | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
will happen in Tripoli, the only thing would be the timing. A what | :21:23. | :21:29. | |
would be the trigger? No one can exactly do timing because it is | :21:29. | :21:39. | |
multi-dimensional. The military, NATO, all of these things together | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
have to hit the right time. And to regime protests in the Libyan | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
capital in March were brutally put down by Gaddafi's militias. This | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
time the plan is for any new uprising in Tripoli to erupt just | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
as the rebel military victory is imminent, but it is also the day | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
after Gaddafi falls the rebels are worried about. Benghazi paid with | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
wanton destruction for its freedom. The military barracks in the City | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
is now twisted metal and rubble, a stark warning of what could happen | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
in Tripoli. So the rebels plan to move their headquarters to the | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
Libyan capital as soon as they can to appeal for car and hope their de | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
facto president, a widely respected former judge, can hold the country | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
together. We are truly worried about security in Tripoli but we | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
have put in place plants and people and we hope this will protect the | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
city. So the rebels hope to secure the secret loyalty of police and | :22:38. | :22:45. | |
army officers in Tripoli. Many people in the army and security | :22:45. | :22:55. | |
:22:55. | :22:55. | ||
forces will help us, and now they are telling us Mark they are with | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
Gaddafi but at the moment they will be with the Libyan people. It is | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
not easy from here to check out the secret underground network in | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
Tripoli, but it fits in with what I have been hearing from other | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
sources. Though any uprising in Tripoli will depend on the success | :23:11. | :23:21. | |
:23:21. | :23:23. | ||
of the military campaign - both the rebels' and NATO pause mark. | :23:23. | :23:30. | |
Peter Falk, the star of Columbo, has died. He was 83 and had been | :23:30. | :23:40. | |
:23:40. | :23:40. | ||
suffering from Alzheimer's disease. He had lost NI to cancer as a child | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
and was told he would never make it as a TV and film actor, but Columbo | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
went on to be a great success. The trench coat was his own, which he | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
wore for 25 years. Andy Murray has made it through to | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
the quarter-finals of Wimbledon this evening and was made to work | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
hard for his victory against Ljubicic in four set. There was not | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
such good news for Britain's women - both Elena Baltacha and Laura | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
Robson were beaten earlier in the day. | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
The name is Andy, not to him. Andy Murray says he has been wound up by | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
spectators who during his name CL the name of the former British | :24:24. | :24:34. | |
number one, Tim Henman. Harmless humour or bad taste of fending at | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
Wimbledon. I would hope everyone supports him, rather than winding | :24:39. | :24:49. | |
:24:49. | :24:50. | ||
him up. His opponent was Ivan Ljubicic, one of those Eastern | :24:50. | :25:00. | |
:25:00. | :25:04. | ||
European behemoths. Andy Murray After a trade as brakes, Murray | :25:04. | :25:14. | |
:25:14. | :25:14. | ||
broke again. His mouth went the familiar oblong, but this time in | :25:14. | :25:20. | |
joy. First set to Murray. When on top, the very best players give no | :25:20. | :25:27. | |
quarter. The next game, Andy Murray double-faulted and gifted the break. | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
double-faulted and gifted the break. Ljubicic, as big and impassive as a | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
tree trunk didn't bend again. He took the advantage all the way to | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
set point. Whatever Andy Murray said to himself worked. In the | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
third set, Murray swung his axe and the tree began to splinter, paving | :25:46. | :25:52. | |
the way to a double break. In no time, it was 6-12 Murray. As night | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
settled, nerves were doing anything but. It was high-tension relieved | :25:57. | :26:07. | |
:26:07. | :26:07. | ||
by the odd moment of class, and in by the odd moment of class, and in | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
the end, come the tie-break, relief. I moved really good so that is a | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
step in the right direction, much better than my last match. The | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
matches will get tougher but I am ready. Earlier the two remaining | :26:18. | :26:23. |
