Another shocking addition to the phone hacking list. Police tell | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
Spain Sara Payne's mother she was a target. The eight-year-old was | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
abducted and murdered. Her mother's number is found in notes kept by a | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
News of the World investigator. The paper's former boss, Rebekah | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
Brooks, befriended Sara Payne and backed her child protection | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
campaign. Well, poor Sara Payne tonight. She | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
must be wondering who are her friends? It must be appalling to | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
have heard this. My heart goes out to her. | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
It emerged that the newspaper gave Sara Payne a phone. Also tonight: | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
More than 2 million public sector workers are told how much more they | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
will have to pay for their pensions. It looks about �900 between us to | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
find. We are worried about that. Everything is going up. We have a | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
pay freeze for at least two years. The high speed train crash that has | :01:02. | :01:06. | |

Good evening. The police have told Sara Payne, | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
whose daughter Sarah was murdered by a paedophile, 11 years ago, that | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
she was on a list of people whose phones may have been hacked. Her | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
number appears in notes kept by Glenn Mulcaire, the investigator | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
who specialised in phone hacking for the News of the World. Under | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
the editorship of Rebekah Brooks, the paper went on to champion | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
Sara's campaign for a new child protection law. Sara Payne is said | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
to be devastated. This report contains flash photography. Perhaps, | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
it seems that this astonishing affair no longer had the capacity | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
to shock, but the allegations this seefg that is bereaved mother, that | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
worked alongside the News of the World, was all along one of its | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
victims. Sara Payne ace charity was contacted last night to be told | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
that her details are in the notebooks of phone hacker Glenn | :02:42. | :02:52. | |
:02:52. | :02:52. | ||
Mulcaire. In a statement it said: The last night of the News of the | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
World. It was its last edition. Sara Payne had previously been told | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
she was not a hacking victim. She agreed to write an article for the | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
final issue, describing the tabloid as a force for good and an old | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
friend. We had had a series of terrible and | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
tragic news stories starting with Sara Payne. | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
Rebekah Brooks, the former editor of the News of the World described | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
Sara Payne as her dear friend. The two worked together for campaigning | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
for Sarah's Law where, the public have a right to know where | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
paedophiles are living. Tonight Brookes brox Brookes said that the | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
allegations were abhorrent and upsetting. The idea that anyone on | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
the newspaper knew that Sara or the campaign team were targeted by | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
Glenn Mulcaire is unthinkable. The Sarah's Law campaign began in | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
2000. Glenn Mulcaire was arrested in 2006. It is not known when he | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
obtained her phone information, whether he intercepted her | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
voicemail and if he requested it. If it was News International, this | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
was the reaction of one MP. News International did not campaign | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
for Sarah's Law they gave personal support to Sara Payne and her | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
family. They produced literature, campaign materials, taking her to | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
party conferences, introducing her to politicians, this is the | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
ultimate betrayal of trust. Her newspaper backers got high- | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
level meetings and provided her with a mobile phone. | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
But it is said that the voicemail on this phone was not activated | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
until 18 months ago, suggesting there were no messages. Today's | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
allegations surfaced hours after Lord Justice Leveson said that his | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
judicial inquiry could begin while the police continue to investigate. | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
I believe that it should be possible to focus on the extent of | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
the problem which would not prejudice an investigation without | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
examining who d what to whom which might. | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
News International said once the facts were known it would take | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
action. Glenn Mulcaire, calmly, repeated his mantra. | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
I have no comment to make at this stage. | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
Well, our Business Secretary editor Robert Peston is here. News | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
International said that they would co-operate, but this is another bad | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
blow? It is. News International told me weeks ago, that they | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
assumed that Sara Payne's phone may have been targeted by Glenn | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
Mulcaire, but they could not be certain. They no longer had Glenn | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
Mulcaire's files, they were taken by the police. So the disclosure | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
that it did happen is a shattering blow to the company and of course | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
the disclosure that yet another vulnerable individual's privacy has | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
been invaded. It will only add to the clamour of those who say that | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
the Murdochs should not own such a big chunk of the UK media industry | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
newspapers and the 39% stake in BSkyB. | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
Does this raise more questions about the Murdoch leadership, if | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
you like of the business? Well, the Murdochs say that they did not know | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
that this was happening, but there are critics who say that the fact | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
they didn't know there was wrongdoing on the scale that this | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
was taking place undermines their representation for management. As | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
it happens, James Murdoch is also chairman of the British Skye | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
Broadcasting and the independent directors of British Skye | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
Broadcaster grilled him about what he knew about the wrongdoing of the | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
News of the World. He continued to deny that he had knowledge of the | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
full extent of that. They grilled him on what he is doing to clear it | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
all up. The questions have been raised | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
about the credibility of his denials, others at the News of the | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
World said he knew more than he is saying. For now, the independent | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
directors are sticking with murder murder, James Murdoch. Giving him | :07:01. | :07:08. | |
the benefit of the doubt, but as one said that he is to an extent on | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
probation and the issue of whether he is the right chairman will be | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
re-examineed at a later date. Millions of civil servants, NHS | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
staff and teachers have found out how much more their pensions are | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
likely to cost. The lowest pay will face no increases, but everything | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
elsewhere. The highest paying will pay up to �3,000 more. The | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
Government says that this is needed as people are living longer, but | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
critics argue that the money is going to the Treasury to help to | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
cut the deficit. How much more will public sector | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
work verse to pay into their pensions? Today 2.5 million | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
teachers, civil servants and health workers got a taste much what is to | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
come. For Kim Barnes and her husband, who | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
also works in the public sector it means having to pay more towards | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
their retirement from next April. It looks to be about �900 a wreer | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
between us to find. We are very worried about that -- year between | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
us to find. We are worried about that. Everything is going up. We | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
have a pay freeze of up to two years. We are looking at ways to | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
pay for this. How much the workers pay is | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
depending on what they earn and what they do. For those earning up | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
to �15,000, there is no change, but a nurse earning about �21,000 will | :08:31. | :08:41. | |
have to contribute about �1,26 -- �126 a year. A teacher on �35,000 | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
will pay about �400 a year. An NHS consultant will pay up to �3,000 | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
more. Now, all of that is the start as | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
workers are likely to pay in more to meet the Government's �2.8 | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
billion savings target. Today, the Chancellor insisted that the | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
changes are necessary. We are to get among the best | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
pension in Britain, but of course, as we are all living longer, you | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
have to make a contribution to that as well. I think that is fair to | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
them. They get a great pension which many in the private sector | :09:15. | :09:23. | |
would be jealous of. The announcement led some unions to | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
want of a repeat of last month's strikes, many are unconvinced that | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
major changes are needed. They are asked to work longer, pay | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
more, -- pay less, even though the independent evidence is that they | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
don't have to do that. If the Government is not changing | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
direction, we anticipate large- scale strikes in the autumn. | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
Some in the medical professions have concerns. They argue a that | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
the NHS pension scheme is not in trouble. That it takes in more cash | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
than it pays out. This is purely a way of the | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
Treasury raising money from the public sector workers by an | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
arbitratory tax on their pension scheme. It is not needed to help | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
the pension schemes to be in surplus. | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
With the negotiations on specific pension schemes getting under way, | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
one union leader warned that the Government's taxes are put the that | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
in jeopardy. They want changes by October, but the timetable is | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
looking tight. Or Political Correspondent Vicki | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
Young is at Westminster. So, does this bring the strikes closer? | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
shorter answer to that is "yes". That is as the unions are angry. | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
They are irritated about the timing of this. They say that the talks | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
are continuing, yet the Government is undermining that. Listen to the | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
language from the union leaders accusing the Government of crude | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
and naive tactics. It does not bode well, but they are concerned about | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
the broader point. They are angry as they say this is nothing more | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
than a tax on public sector workers, that the money goes into the | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
Treasury coffers to be used to pay down some of the deficit. That the | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
public sector workers are punished for Ancic crisis that they did not | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
cause, but the Government is determined to stick to their guns. | :11:10. | :11:17. | |
They say this is about fairness, that the public sector workers will | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
have decent pension. Many in the private sectors don't have that | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
guarantee. They say that this should not be a surprise as even | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
under Labour they had to agree to pay higher pension contributions. | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
One union leader said that he thought that November would be the | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
month for strike action to happen, ministers say that the talks are | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
still going on, which they are, that there is a chance of a | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
settlement. At least 20 people have been killed | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
and dozens more injured in southern Afghanistan. The Taliban admitted | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
responsibility for the attacks in Tarin Kot which targeted the police | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
headquarters and the deputy governor's office. The one of the | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
victims is named as the BBC journalist Ahmad Omid Khpalwak who | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
worked for the Pashtu Service. An inquest into the death of a | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
rogue killing of soldiers has returned a verdict of unknown | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
killing. Major James Bowman, Lieutenant Neal | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
Turkington and Corporal Arjun Purja Pun died in an attack at their base | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
in Helmand province last year the conclusion that there was no | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
evidence of a failure to protect the men. | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
The Chinese have received criticism for the high speed railway crash in | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
which 3 people died. Premier Wen Jianbao's visit followed a public | :12:43. | :12:53. | |
:12:53. | :12:59. | ||
outcry in the way that the The Wen Jiabao bow is the paternal | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
face of the Communist Party. In times of crisis like this one, he | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
is called upon to suit the nation's nerves. But at the crash site, he | :13:11. | :13:19. | |
was bowing to public anger. TRANSLATION: No matter if it is a | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
mechanical fault, a management problem or indeed a manufacturing | :13:25. | :13:33. | |
issue, we will get to the bottom of this. The two high-speed trains | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
collided on Saturday night. At least one of the carriages was | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
buried at the site, leading to accusations of a cover-up. That has | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
been denied by the authorities. This train crash not only called | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
into question the future of China's high-speed rail network, it also | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
created a deep sense of mistrust between the authorities and the | :13:57. | :14:03. | |
people. Public anger has been inflamed by allegations of | :14:03. | :14:10. | |
corruption which, if true, may have compromised safety. This man is | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
looking for answers. -- this lady is looking for answers, her husband | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
was killed in the crash. TRANSLATION: Officials from the | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
railway ministry kept blaming the accident on a lightning strike. | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
What I am waiting for is a clear explanation of what happened. | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
speed rail has rapidly expanded across China. In January this year, | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
the country had around 5,000 miles of routes, but that is expected to | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
grow to around 8,000 by the end of this year alone. And massive | :14:47. | :14:55. | |
investment has gone in. Last year around �66 billion. But critics say | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
the network has been built too fast without enough expertise. China had | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
hoped to sell its technology abroad, but that is now in jeopardy. What | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
had started as a project that generated huge national pride has | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
now created anger. The White House is still confident | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
that a compromise can be reached to end the stand-off over America's | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
debt problems. The US Treasury has warned that the country will run | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
out of money to pay its bills unless the current borrowing limit | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
of more than $14 trillion is increased by next Tuesday. A | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
crucial vote is due to take place in the next hour. Our North America | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
editor Mark Mardell is in Washington. | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
Just how close is this vote going to be? I think it will be very | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
tight. The Republican leader has been seeing his own hardline | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
members this afternoon trying to control and persuade them to back | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
his plan. That tells you something, how difficult it is for the | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
Republicans to get their own rook hardliners on side and that is | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
important. If he does win this vote and get it through the house, it | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
goes to the Senate, controlled by the Democrats, and they will kill | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
it off. Then you have to get a process of compromise, putting bits | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
in and taking bits out. When you think it how difficult it has been | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
for that if Republicans to sell this deal to his own side, think | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
how difficult it will be to sell a compromise in a few days' time. | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
There has been a lot of rhetoric flying about, some people saying | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
America's stature depends on this. It is pretty important because if | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
it goes to August 2nd, next Tuesday, and they don't have enough money to | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
pay all of their bills and their debts, it does diminish America in | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
the eyes of the world. Tea Party hardliners say actually there is | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
money sloshing around and they will find ways of paying it, others like | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
President Obama are saying it will trigger an economic crisis | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
throughout the world. I suspect the truth is somewhere in between, but | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
it has never happened before so we don't know. Wall Street doesn't | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
know, we don't know how the markets will react. But with the world and | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
American economy pretty fragile, it can't be good. Thank you. | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
Coming up on tonight's programme: A special report from Misrata, a | :17:20. | :17:28. | |
city caught in the crossfire of the The company that owned the care | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
home at the centre of shocking revelations of abuse on Panorama | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
has been told that there are serious concerns about some of its | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
other services. The Care Quality Commission says the problems are | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
not on the same scale as those discovered at Winterbourne View, | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
but called for root and branch reforms at the parent company, | :17:43. | :17:53. | |

Castlebeck. Our correspondent Reeta These scenes of people with | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
learning disabilities being hit, slapped and abused shot all who | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
viewed them. Film secretly by Panorama they led to the watchdog, | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
the Care Quality Commission, inspecting all the services in | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
England run by Castlebeck. The CQC today unveiled concerns about four | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
places, although not on the same scale as Winterbourne View. They | :18:15. | :18:25. | |
:18:25. | :18:31. | ||
include Rose Villa, also in Bristol, Per I would agree, it does appear | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
very damning and most of their recommendations the CQC have put | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
forward. Over the cost -- course of the last six months, we had already | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
started looking at a whole series of changes that we needed to make | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
within the organisation. The prime minister, on a visit to Bristol, | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
warned Castlebeck of what could happen if they did not improve. | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
care home providers are not up to shake, they should be properly | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
criticised and have those homes taken away from them. How we care | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
for the elderly and for other people who need care is vitally | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
important. Terry Brian worked at Winterbourne View and blew the | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
whistle on what was going on. He sits for people with learning | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
disabilities should not be locked up for long periods. Some people | :19:14. | :19:23. | |
were here for many years. There is nothing worse, people feel | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
forgotten. It is a closed society. Winterbourne View is now closed and | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
its patients elsewhere, but while the company running it, Castlebeck, | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
has come under close scrutiny, experts say the problems identified | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
in its homes are likely to be found in similar places run by other | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
private sector companies. These disturbing images have prompted the | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
watchdog to carry out another bidder review, this time not just | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
of Castlebeck, but the whole sector. -- digger review. | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
It's emerged tonight that the leader of Libya's rebel forces has | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
been shot dead. It's believed Abdel Fattah Younes was being questioned | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
by rebels about whether his family still had ties to Colonel Gaddafi's | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
regime. Meanwhile, Libyan rebels have launched an offensive against | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
a strategically important town held by Gaddafi's forces near the | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
Tunisian border. The conflict has remained largely deadlocked over | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
the past few weeks. From Tripoli, Colonel Gaddafi retains control | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
over much of the west while the rebels control eastern Libya from | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
their base in Benghazi. The western port city of Misrata is still the | :20:25. | :20:35. | |
:20:35. | :20:38. | ||
key battleground. Our world affairs 115 Tripoli Street, Misrata. The | :20:38. | :20:46. | |
road at the centre of an epic And a family home caught in the | :20:46. | :20:56. | |
:20:56. | :20:56. | ||
Shattered by bombs and bullets, charred by fire. Its ruins are a | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
testament to the ferocity of what has happened here. Nadia was born | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
in this house. She had four brothers won this battle began. One | :21:06. | :21:13. | |
was killed by Colonel Gaddafi's men. The other three are now volunteer | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
soldiers of the rebel army. For Nadia and her mother, there is | :21:18. | :21:28. | |
:21:28. | :21:28. | ||
anger and grief. Everything, she hasn't any more. Just sad. What | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
they want is for Colonel Gaddafi to stand trial. This week, Britain | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
shifted its position. Now saying that although Colonel Gaddafi must | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
leave power, he could conceivably stay in the country if that is what | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
the Libyan people want. But just look at what has happened here, | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
look at the sheer scale of destruction. Hundreds of people | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
died in the battle for Misrata and they can't forgive or forget. What | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
they want is justice. And however much Britain, France and America | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
want a quick settlement here, it is difficult to imagine a political | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
solution that is acceptable to the government in Tripoli and the | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
people of Misrata. And the City is still under attack. A petrol depot | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
was struck by rockets this week, hardly conducive for peace talks. | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
The truth is that Ms Rutter remains on a war footing, hundreds of its | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
men are dug-in, stretching for miles along the latest front lines. | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
There are -- they are a little more organised, better equipped, even if | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
they can't even -- always say who they are firing at. They plan to go | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
all the way to Tripoli, but progress has been far slower than | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
Britain and the West hoped for. It is fighting not talking that | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
concentrates minds here. The rebels say they will not stop until they | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
forced Gaddafi from power and out of Libya. With NATO's help they | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
have advanced, but they lack momentum. And Britain and others | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
may have little choice but to ride out of war with no clear end in | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
sight. A High Court judge has ruled that | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
BT must block access to a website which provides links to pirated | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
films. The landmark case over the Newzbin 2 site marks the first time | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
an internet service provider has been ordered to block its | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
subscribers from accessing such a website. The ruling could lead to a | :23:22. | :23:32. | |
:23:32. | :23:33. | ||
wider crackdown on internet piracy. The first colour TV and 37 ft totem | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
pole are among some of the exhibits on display for the first time in | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
decades at the National Museum of Scotland. It is opening its doors | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
tomorrow after a multi-million- pound refurbishment. James could | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
have been to take a look. This is the story of a restless | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
people and a restless nation. It is the story of the steam engine which | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
revolutionised industry, of John Logie Baird's television which | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
changed the lives of millions, and it is the story of Scottish | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
pioneers who put a small country on the mat. The treasures -- treasures | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
they brought home are under one roof. The origins of these | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
collections came from Scots, great inventors, great explorers, can | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
earn your services missionaries and a lot of Scots came back here and | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
donated them to the museum. In many ways the stories of the story of | :24:27. | :24:33. | |
Scotland. There are also much older tales, like T-rex and the Natural | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
History gallery. In here, there are stories of survival and some of the | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
exhibits themselves have survived for decades in the freezer, some | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
date back to the 19th century. Now they are being used again to teach | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
the theory of evolution. Charles Darwin, who studied in Edinburgh, | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
collected this little bird in Chile and Alexander Fleming was awarded | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
this medal when he won the Nobel Prize for discovering penicillin. | :24:59. | :25:06. | |
It is a gem in an eclectic collection. We have a chance to in | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
a way remake the universal museum that was the dream of the Victorian | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
period, putting lots of subjects together and giving people a way to | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
understand the interconnectedness of nature and people and the ideas | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
about science. But what does this museum have to say about Scotland | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
today? I think this opening is very significant in that it demonstrates | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
there is a spirit of confidence in Scotland. Whatever happens | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
politically, it will encourage people to perhaps take a more | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
optimistic view of the future. museum is much loved, donations for | :25:43. | :25:47. |
