The government chief whip quits after weeks of controversy over his | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
row with police officers. Andrew Mitchell was accused of calling | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
officers plebs when they refused to let him cycle through the Downing | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
Street Gates. He denied that but said in his resignation letter it | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
was not fair to put colleagues and family through such damaging | :00:21. | :00:28. | |
publicity. The Police Federation welcome his departure. We are | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
pleased that he has taken the right decision. He has not come out with | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
a full explanation of what his version of events are. We will be | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
assessing how damaging the whole affair has been to the government | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
and the Prime Minister. Also tonight: A man who confessed to two | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
murders is jailed for one that cannot be prosecuted for the other | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
because the police failed to follow correct procedure. Christopher | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
Halliwell has been jailed for killing Sian O'Callaghan but the | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
case against him for the murder of Becky Godden has been dropped, to | :00:57. | :01:06. | |
the anguish of her mother. Sian's family have today had the justice | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
for the murder of their beautiful daughter. However, our family's | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
fight for justice, for Becky, has only just begun. | :01:18. | :01:28. | |

John Terry's future is still Good evening. The government chief | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
whip Andrew Mitchell has resigned after weeks of criticism and | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
speculation about his row with police officers in Downing Street. | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
The officers allege that Mr Mitchell had abused them and called | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
them Peps after they refused to allow him to cycle out of the main | :02:22. | :02:30. | |
gate of Downing Street -- plebs. Mr Mitchell denied that. | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
Are the armed police, the Ahmed Gate's stand at the end of Downing | :02:34. | :02:43. | |
Street to protect ministers of the Crown -- the armed Gates. The Chief | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
Whip has lost his job thanks to what happened here a month ago. | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
Andrew Mitchell, the man appointed by David Cameron took instil | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
discipline amongst MPs showed very little of it himself. He shouted at | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
a police officer who did not allow him to cycle through the main gate | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
as he normally did. In a letter to the Prime Minister, Andrew Mitchell | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
wrote of his enormous regret, saying over the last two days it | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
has become clear to me that whatever the rights and wrongs of | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
the matter, I will not be able to fulfil my duties as we both would | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
wish. He goes on to respond to what he | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
was alleged to have set according to an official report leaked to the | :03:27. | :03:37. | |
:03:37. | :03:55. | ||
When the Prime Minister returned home from the EU summit in Brussels, | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
he found Andrew Mitchell waiting for him at Chequers, his official | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
country retreat. Andrew Mitchell has decided that this point to | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
resign. He is a man of honour and he recognises that other people | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
were damaged, the government was damaged as a result and he felt the | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
right thing to do was to remove himself from the picture. | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
perhaps his fate was sealed two weeks ago, when looking ashen-faced | :04:23. | :04:30. | |
and having lost a stone in weight, he was at Prime Minister's | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
Questions. If a member of the public appears to police officer | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
they would be placed in a police van. What the chief whip said and | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
did was wrong and that is why it is important that he apologised and | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
apologised probably. Whether apologising in public or in private, | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
Andrew Mitchell refused to spell out what he had actually said. | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
have apologised to the police officer involved on the gate and he | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
has accepted my apology and I hope we can draw a line under there. | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
the Police Federation, in effect to the police officers' Union never | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
accepted that apology. He still has not come out with a full | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
explanation of what his version of events are according to the report. | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
It is quite right that he has gone. The new government chief whip is | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
another keen cyclist, but the famously courteous Sir George Young | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
is more likely to say please and thank you than his abrasive | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
predecessor. By first refusing to resign, and then doing so after | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
receiving his boss's full backing, Andrew Mitchell has damaged not | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
just himself, but David Cameron, and all because he lost his temper | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
with a police officer whose job it is to protect the home of the Prime | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
Minister. Nick Robinson is that Downing | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
Street now. The fact that Andrew Mitchell has chosen to resign now, | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
why this time in? I spoke to Andrew Mitchell when he was still at | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
Chequers, having told the Prime Minister that he had to go. The man | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
I have always known as a fighter, a former soldier, the guy who loves | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
political scrapping, the fight had gone out of him. He had fallen | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
victim to the Labour Party who portrayed him as all that was wrong | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
with this government, a man who symbolised that there was won well | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
at the top and another one for everyone else. He was victim as | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
well to the Police Federation, who are fighting this government over | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
kerbs to their pay, cuts to their numbers and reforms to their | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
pensions and working conditions. They were also determined not to | :06:38. | :06:45. | |
give up until he went. And in the end, he fell victim to his own past | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
behaviour. There were too few ministers, too few Conservatives | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
willing to come up and say, I cannot imagine he would say | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
anything like that. The tough guy paid in the end for being too tough. | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
The problem for David Cameron is Andrew Mitchell, like all resigned | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
ministers, will also be forgotten. What will not be forgotten is the | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
Prime Minister tried to defend him and lost him. Once again, this will | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
be added to the tally of those things described by Tory MPs and | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
increasingly the Tory press, as examples of incompetence. Thank you. | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
A taxi driver who admitted murdering two women has been jailed | :07:25. | :07:32. | |
for life, but for only one of the killings. Christopher Hanrahan -- | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
Christopher Halliwell confessed to the murder of Sian O'Callaghan. He | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
also confessed to the murder of Becky Godden but that case had to | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
be abandoned because police failed to follow correct procedures. | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
Taxi driver Christopher Halliwell. He confessed to a policeman that he | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
killed both of these young women. But because of the way officers | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
handled the case, only the family of Sian O'Callaghan has justice. | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
She disappeared in March last year, after leaving a nightclub in | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
Swindon. She got into Christopher Halliwell's cab. He sexually | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
assaulted her and stabbed her in the head. Today he pleaded guilty | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
to that murder. Christopher Halliwell has, by his genius | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
actions, taken my vibrant young daughter's life and caused | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
unimaginable distress -- his penis actions. However, just as has been | :08:26. | :08:36. | |
:08:36. | :08:47. | ||
His heinous actions.And an actress It all came down to when | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
Christopher Halliwell was arrested in a supermarket and his cab was | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
towed away. Whenever officers make an arrest, they are meant to follow | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
strict national guidelines, take a suspect to a police station and | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
speak to a lawyer but that did not happen. Instead, they drove | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
Halliwell into the countryside for nearly four hours, hoping they | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
would keep him talking and Torquay did. Taking them, not only to | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
Sian's body but also the body of her Becky Godden who disappeared | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
eight years earlier. Because police broke the rules of arrest, none of | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
that was admissible in a court of law. In the case of Sian there was | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
enough forensic evidence to press ahead but in Becky's case there was | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
nothing else so that case has been dropped. Sian's family have today | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
had the justice for the murder of their beautiful daughter. However, | :09:49. | :09:57. | |
our family's fight for justice, for Becky, has only just begun. Of his | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
in Sydney, come to Swindon, commit a murder and you will get away with | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
it. -- it seems to me, come to Swindon, commit a murder and you | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
will get a way that. I will never put my trust in the police again. | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
The detective who led the case has been suspended. He has always | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
denied taking Halwell to the police station that day because it might | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
have stopped him talking. The case has been investigated by the | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
Independent Police Complaints Commission. | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
One person has been killed and 12 others, many of them children have | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
been injured in a series of hit and run accident in Cardiff. Police | :10:38. | :10:46. | |
arrested a 31-year-old man tonight. Tonight, the police investigation | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
uncovers the length and breadth of this city as officers tried to map | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
out the route taken by a lone van driver. One woman has lost her life. | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
We understand she has been named locally as Karina Menzies. There | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
are another dozen people, seven of them children who are seriously ill. | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
As forensic teams continue to gather evidence, tonight, Cardiff | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
has become a city of crime scenes, with people struggling to | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
comprehend what they have seen. Police finally tracked the driver | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
of this than to a pub to the south of the city. His victims had | :11:25. | :11:32. | |
seemingly been chosen at random. As a result of the incident that | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
has occurred, a 32-year-old female has lost her life. Our thoughts are | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
with her family and our family liaison officers are with the | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
family at the moment. They are first victims were hit | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
just as the school day came to an end. The driver left children and | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
adults lying in the street. Bystanders watched as a helicopter | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
flew in to try and move the injured to hospital. There were police, | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
ambulance, fire engines, crowds of people around the little girl. She | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
only looked about seven. It looked as if they were just coming back | :12:09. | :12:16. | |
from the shop. He just hit them. the injured started to arrive, | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
Cardiff's largest accident and emergency unit was closed to all | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
other patients. One woman was known to be dragged underneath a van. | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
Others are known to be seriously ill. Detectives are trying to | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
workout what could have triggered such a trail of destruction. | :12:36. | :12:44. | |
Government borrowing fell last month to �12.8 billion, compared | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
with 13.5 billion last year. It is the lowest September borrowing | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
figure since 2008. Despite the improvement, it is unlikely the | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
government will meet the target of wiping out the deficit by 2015. A | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
European Union leaders have taken another step towards forming a | :13:01. | :13:11. | |
:13:11. | :13:11. | ||
banking union in the eurozone. A legislative framework is to be in | :13:11. | :13:18. | |
place by 1st January. There is concern this will lead to the UK | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
being outvoted on the EU banking decisions. | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
Etude car bomb has exploded in Lebanon's capital, Beirut. | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
Opposition leaders have accused the Syrian government of being behind | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
the murder of General Wissam Al- Hassan. It is feared that the | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
conflict in neighbouring Syria is destabilising Lebanon. The bomb | :13:41. | :13:51. | |
:13:51. | :14:01. | ||
went off at rush hour in Sassine The bomb went off in the mainly | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
Christian district of the city and local TV stations were soon | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
broadcasting images of burned cars, damaged buildings and dozens of | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
wounded people. Eight people were killed, and as many as 100 were | :14:12. | :14:20. | |
injured. But the main target was Lebanon's chief security official. | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
He had recently implicated Syria and its Lebanese ally, Hezbollah, | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
in the killing of a former Prime Minister, Rafiq Hariri. He was a | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
fierce critic of the Assad regime in neighbouring Syria, and his | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
death will not only throw Lebanese politics into turmoil, but will | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
create shockwaves in the entire region. After a long period of | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
relative calm, this is the first big bomb attack in the Lebanese | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
capital in four years, but many had feared something like this would | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
happen sooner or later and that Lebanon would be inevitably dragged | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
into the conflict in neighbouring Syria. Some Lebanese political | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
leaders have already accused the Assad regime in Syria of being | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
behind the attack. Coming up: | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
A year after the death of Colonel Gaddafi we investigate who's filled | :15:07. | :15:15. | |
The inquiry into the late BBC presenter Jimmy Savile has now | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
widened into a criminal investigation into allegations of | :15:17. | :15:23. | |
child abuse by other individuals still living. Scotland Yard says it | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
has so far identified 200 potential victims. Today, the children's | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
charity the NSPCC said it was possible that Jimmy Savile was one | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
of the most prolific sex offenders the charity had ever come across. | :15:34. | :15:43. | |
Nick Higham reports. Police investigating Jimmy Savile | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
say that they are dealing with allegations of abuse on an | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
unprecedented scale. Their inquiries have now developed into a | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
formal criminal investigation. That means not just Jimmy Savile, but | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
people still living are now under scrutiny. In the past fortnight, | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
police have assessed over 400 lines of inquiry and over 200 potential | :16:03. | :16:11. | |
victims have been identified, most complaining of abuse by other | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
people. Scotland Yard says the operation has empowered a | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
staggering number of victims to come forward, and many are only now | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
feel confident enough to speak out. The NSPCC says that Jimmy Savile | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
may have had accomplices. He is one of the most prolific sex offenders | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
that we have actually come across in our service. You can either do | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
that on your own, or you may well have some assistance, so it is not | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
surprising on our part that the police are now investigating other | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
individuals. Jimmy Savile's activities to come to locations | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
across the country where he was trusted and, in many cases, given | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
his own room more special status. They included the BBC, an approved | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
school in Staines, Leeds General Infirmary, Stoke Mandeville | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
Hospital, and the Broadmoor secure psychiatric hospital. Police have | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
also looked into allegations that he abused inmates at a children's | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
home in Jersey. He also owned at least seven properties of his own, | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
plus a motor home, and abused victims in many places and over | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
many years. Yet no one spotted the pattern of behaviour. He worked in | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
hospitals, he worked with children constantly. He created these | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
programmes where he could get close to children. When I think of him, I | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
think of a perfect pattern of behaviour that would take all the | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
boxers, really, to highlight the behaviour of a sex offender. | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
BBC confirmed today that a Panorama investigation into Jimmy Savile's | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
activities will be transmitted on Monday, possibly as an hour-long | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
special. It has also been given the go-ahead by police to stop an | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
internal inquiry, headed by a former judge, Dame Janet Smith, | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
into Jimmy Savile's conduct and the custom and practice as at the BBC | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
at the time. The day after the Panorama programme, the Director- | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
General will give evidence to MPs, in a scandal that just keeps | :18:06. | :18:12. | |
growing. The energy regulator, Ofgem, has | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
announced measures to simplify gas and electricity bills. They include | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
having one unit charge for gas and electricity, reducing the number of | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
available tariffs, and making energy firms tell you what their | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
cheapest tariffs is on your bill. It comes after David Cameron | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
appeared to go even further earlier this week, saying the Government | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
would compel energy firms to offer customers their lowest tariffs. | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
Tomorrow it will be exactly a year since Colonel Gaddafi was captured | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
and killed by Libyan revolutionaries. Libya had | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
democratic elections this summer, but it's still struggling to | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
overcome its past, with evidence that torture is still being used by | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
Gaddafi supporters. Our Middle East editor reports from Libya, and you | :18:50. | :19:00. | |
may find some images in his report distressing. | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
Omran Shaaban captured the dictator. His parents are proud and they miss | :19:04. | :19:11. | |
him, because he is dead now, too. A year ago their son, here in the | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
brown leather jacket, was the one who found Colonel Gaddafi hiding in | :19:14. | :19:24. | |
a drainage pipe. As a revolutionary hero, he posed with the gun that he | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
took from Gaddafi. His parents still have it at their house in | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
Misrata, but their son died last month after being captured and | :19:33. | :19:41. | |
tortured by men still loyal to their dead leader. At the same time, | :19:41. | :19:48. | |
this man was tortured for about 60 days, he says, by Gaddafi's people, | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
hung upside down, whipped, burned and given electric shocks. He says | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
female nurses cut his ankles with scalpels and said it was the flesh | :19:57. | :20:04. | |
of Misrata's rats. Both tortured men were held in the old regime's | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
last refuge, Bani Walid, near Misrata. This week, it has been | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
attacked by fighters loyal to the new order. During the civil war | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
last year, Bani Walid helped to prosecute the siege of Misrata. Its | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
defenders never cracked, and now Misurata feels like a city state. | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
Tripoli Street was the centre of Misrata's war. Steadily, it is | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
being rebuilt. Their victory Museum is here, but winning the peace, | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
unravelling Gaddafi's legacy, is taking time. Someone here told me | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
that when Gaddafi was killed, Libya was like a bottle of cola that had | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
been shaken for 42 years. When the top came off, everything overflowed. | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
Certainly a lot of old grievances are still coming out. There have | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
been armed clashes and people have been killed, but the civil war has | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
not restarted. It could have been much worse. Back in Tripoli, | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
Colonel Gaddafi's bold leadership compound is being used as a rubbish | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
dump. The power vacuum he left has been filled not by politicians, | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
even though they have been democratically elected, but by | :21:14. | :21:23. | |
tribes and armed men. These guards the new parliament as it struggles | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
to former -- a functioning government. But there are dozens of | :21:28. | :21:35. | |
militia, with their own agendas. TRANSLATION: I do not believe the | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
situation will deteriorate. If it did, Libya could always go back to | :21:38. | :21:46. | |
tribal rule, which solves problems easily. If Libya's Democrats cannot | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
start to govern soon, the divisions in this country might have on them. | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
The traffic flows in Tripoli, and so does hope, but time is not | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
elastic. A new search has begun on the Greek | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
island of Kos for Ben Needham, the British toddler who went missing | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
from his family's farmhouse over two decades ago. Police are | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
focusing on a pile of rubble at a building site close to where he was | :22:12. | :22:20. | |
last seen. Danny Savage is in Kos and has sent this report. | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
Blue and white British police take cordons off a field on a Greek | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
hillside. This may mark the spot where the body of a British toddler | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
lies. Ben Needham vanished here in 1991, but was he abducted, or the | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
victim of a tragic accident? Sniffer dogs have been driven here | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
all the way from the UK to follow up long-running concerns that he | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
was buried under soil and rubble being moved during building work at | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
the time. We have access to better equipment, better facilities, | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
better-trained staff. We are in a position where we can do a far more | :22:57. | :23:04. | |
in-depth research today than what was available back in 1991. This is | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
the spot where Ben Needham was last seen alive 21 years ago. For the | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
first time in two decades, police have come to search the area in | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
detail. He was with his grandparents, who were living on | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
Kos. He was playing alone when, at 2:30pm, he went quiet and was never | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
seen again. His mum was waitressing in a local restaurant. She was told | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
by her mother later that night that he was missing. His grandfather was | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
renovating the house he disappeared from, and this is where today's | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
search is focused, even though the area was examined at the time. His | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
mother was just 19 when her little boy vanished and ever since then | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
she has been convinced he is still alive somewhere. He will come back. | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
And I will watch him grow up for the rest of his life. That's the | :23:56. | :24:02. | |
only thing I can do, keep waiting. This is an artist's impression of | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
what Ben Needham could have looked like now. If this week's search | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
finds his body, it will shatter the hopes of him still being out there | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
somewhere. If it does not, everyone will still be baffled about what | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
happened here. She's the star of a low budget film | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
about the effects of a Hurricane Katrina-style storm. Quavenjanay | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
Wallis was aged just five when she auditioned for the part in Beasts | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
Of The Southern Wild. Now, at the ripe old age of nine, she's tipped | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
to become the youngest actress ever to be nominated for an Oscar. Lizo | :24:35. | :24:45. | |
Mzimba has been to meet her. day, the storm will come... | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
Quvenzhane Wallis plays Hushpuppy, who has to care for herself and her | :24:49. | :24:56. | |
father when their home is hit by natural disaster. It has been | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
gathering rave reviews, with many predicting Oscar recognition for | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
the nine-year-old. Do you think it might happen? I don't think. But if | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
it happens, it happens. Lots of people have been talking such a lot | :25:10. | :25:17. | |
about this film and about you. How does that feel? Kind of good. And | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
it's fun to have that attention, but not too much, because I don't | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
want to get, like, too excited, because I don't like getting too | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
excited. What about being famous? don't like that either. She might | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
not have a choice if she goes on to become the youngest person ever to | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
win a competitive Oscar. She would be one year younger than Tatum | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
O'Neal, who was 10 when she won Best Supporting actress for Paper | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
Moon. But she would not beat Shirley Temple, who won her an | :25:51. | :25:57. | |
honorary Oscar when she was just six. Quvenzhane Wallis was just | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
five when she auditioned. Even at that age, the director says her | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
talent stood out. We looked at 4000 kids and we had never seen anything | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
like that from any kid at any age, never mind five years old. She | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
could barely read the script, but she could perform it. Since then, | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
the movie has surpassed expectations, and many believe the | :26:21. | :26:24. |
