little children. And for the families of the adults who were | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
lost. The gunman is believed to have been the son of one of the | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
teachers. He is reported to have shot her dead. We will bring you | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
the latest on this unfolding story tonight. Nick Clegg becomes the | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
first serving minister to question whether possession of some drugs | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
should be decriminalised. Modern- day slavery. The family convicted | :01:18. | :01:22. | |

humiliation. More demonstrations in Egypt on the eve of the | :01:29. | :01:31. | |

protests. And the woman who had a relationship with the DJ John Peel | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
when she was just 15 says she doesn't feel she was abused. | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
totally wanted it. I wanted to be with him. And I didn't really feel | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
that he was so old. I wasn't going to tell him I was so young it | :01:51. | :02:01. | |

Good evening. The horrific details of one of the worst mass shootings | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
in America's history on folding tonight. 27 people, 20 of them | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
children aged between 5 and 10, have been killed after a gunman | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
opened fire at the Priory School in Connecticut. The gunman, reported | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
to be the son of one of the teachers, was found dead at the | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
scene. Traumatised children have spoken of how bullets flew past | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
them as they cowered in their classrooms. Pitiable President | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
Obama said the nation's hearts were broken at the loss of young | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
children with their lives ahead of them. The shooting took place in | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
the small town of Newtown at Sandy Hook Elementary School, just after | :02:59. | :03:09. | |
:03:09. | :03:11. | ||
A Friday morning with Christmas looming. At Sandy Hook Elementary | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
School the children were gathering in their classrooms when the | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
shooting began. The police took the first call soon after 9:30am. | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
Moments later, heavily armed officers went in. Terrified | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
children, aged between 5 and 10, were being carried out. I saw some | :03:29. | :03:37. | |
of the bullets going past the hole. I was right next to it. Then a | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
teacher pulled me into her classroom. We heard shots and | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
everyone went on the ground. Mr Martin closed the door. We went | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
over to a corner and a teacher... Wall of the police officers had | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
machine guns. I was in the gym and I heard seven loud booms. The gym | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
teacher told us to go in the corner. So we all huddled. I kept hearing | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
these booming noises. As alarmed parents rushed back to the school, | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
early reports told of a gunman confronting a teacher, with three | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
people being taken to hospital. But by now the police Swat teams had | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
spread out. It soon became clear this was murder on a horrific scale. | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
There were fatalities. 18 children were pronounced dead at the school. | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
There were two that were transported to area hospitals and | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
pronounced dead there. There were six adults pronounced dead at the | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
scene at the school. As the governor's report of this shooter | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
he is deceased. You US networks say the killer was a man in his 20s | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
whose mother is thought to have been a teacher at the school. In | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
Washington, where the White House flag flies at half mast, Barack | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
Obama addressed the nation as a President and a father. | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
majority of those who died today were children. Beautiful little | :05:01. | :05:11. | |
:05:11. | :05:17. | ||
kids between the ages of five and They had their entire lives ahead | :05:17. | :05:27. | |
:05:27. | :05:31. | ||
of them. Birthdays, graduation so, weddings, kids of their own. Among | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
the fallen were also teachers, men and women who devoted their lives | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
to helping our children fulfil their dreams. So our hearts are | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
broken today. Of the politicians he demanded meaningful action. A hint | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
perhaps at tighter gun laws in a country where the right to bear | :05:49. | :05:56. | |
arms is cherished. But that argument is for tomorrow. For now, | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
America is trying to comprehend the how and why of a mass killing in a | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
small, rural community. Newtown was supposed to be a haven, a world | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
away from the bustle of nearby New York. But today, Sandy Hook | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
Elementary School was robbed of innocence. Joining Columbine and | :06:14. | :06:24. | |
Virginia Tech on the grim roll-call Our correspondent is in Newtown for | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
us this evening. More details are emerging all the time of this | :06:27. | :06:36. | |
terrible tragedy. What more can you tell us? Officials have still not | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
confirmed the name of the gunman. What they are saying is there was | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
only one. What we are here in off the record and what locals are | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
reporting is it was a 20-year-old man whose mother was a teacher in a | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
kindergarten class at the school. The accounts we've been hearing was | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
he entered the school dressed all in black. He was carrying two | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
handguns. He stopped by the principles of this and shot the | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
principle as well as the school psychologist, killing them, and | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
injuring the vice-principal. Then proceeded to his mother's classroom, | :07:08. | :07:15. | |
where it seems most of the shooting took place. He is dead, that has | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
been said. It seems that this point that he shot himself, although that | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
has not been confirmed. We've also been told there was a x4 found in | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
his vehicle. The people here are still asking questions about the | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
details of what happened. But more than that, how this could have | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
happened in this small, peaceful town, especially to children of | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
such a young age. The Deputy Prime Minister has become the first | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
serving minister to question whether possession of some drugs | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
should be decriminalised. Nick Clegg says Britain is losing the | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
war on drug use and there should be a fundamental review of drugs | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
policy. Putting him at odds with the Prime Minister, who this week | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
ruled out any changes. The political consensus on drugs has | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
held firm for decades. No serving minister has dared publicly | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
question the policy of prohibition. Until now. I think it is important | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
that the break this conspiracy of silence, where politicians, when | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
they are in government at least, say, this is all too controversial, | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
we're not going to look elsewhere to make sure we're doing all we can | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
to help families and children in this country who are affected by | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
the plight of drugs. Some people would say that you are sending the | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
wrong message to young people. simply cannot be content with the | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
way things are. To many people are losing their lives to drugs. | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
Clegg wants the government to look at the system in Portugal, where | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
all drugs have been depenalised with a focus on treatment, not | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
punishment. Public concern about drugs there has fallen. He also | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
wants Britain to monitor the experience of the US states of | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
Washington and Colorado, where marijuana has recently been | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
legalised. Calling for a Royal Commission on UK drug laws, the | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
Deputy Prime Minister is exactly contradicting the Prime Minister. | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
don't personally think that a royal commission is the answer, and I | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
don't support the decriminalisation of any drugs that are currently | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
illegal. Without agreement from Downing Street there's no chance of | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
significant change to Britain's drug laws this Parliament. But, as | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
the First Minister of the ground in 40 years to call for a fundamental | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
review, Mr Clegg is looking to a debate in the 2015 election and | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
beyond. As a global drug reform campaign gathers pace, the UN is | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
true -- due to review national policy in 2016. Mr Clegg wants the | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
UK to be at the forefront of new thinking. But critics of reform say | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
drug use is actually falling in Britain. Among 16 to 24 year-olds, | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
11 % fewer have used drugs in the previous year and 15 years before. | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
With cannabis it has fallen 8.3 %, ecstasy 3%, but cocaine use has | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
risen by 2.8 %. Some drug workers say Mr Clegg's intervention is | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
irresponsible. I don't think we should have a softer approach to | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
drugs and their use. I've seen the enormous casualties used by not | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
only drug addiction but also curiosity around drug use, | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
particularly in the teenage population. If you are anti- drugs | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
you're a pro reform, is the message from Mr Clegg. But in making that | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
claim he's crossed into uncharted political territory. No one can yet | :10:28. | :10:35. | |
be sure how voters will respond to a call for a rethink on drugs. Five | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
members of one family had been found guilty of using forced labour, | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
subjecting workers to repeated violence and humiliation and paying | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
them as little as �5 a day. A court in Bristol heard that the ComRes | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
family, who were travellers, repeatedly beat labourers and hosed | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
them with freezing water in conditions that amounted to modern- | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
day slavery. -- the Connors family. Wiliam Connors, his wife, their | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
sons, John and James, and her son- in-law, Miles. In the far corner of | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
a caravan site near Cheltenham they kept their own private workforce. | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
Vulnerable men were forced to live in filthy conditions where they | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
would be beaten and made to use buckets as toilets. By day the men | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
had to lay patios and driveways. This man, who doesn't want to be | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
identified, says he was picked up by the family when he was drinking | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
alone in a graveyard and taken away to work for them. I had no way of | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
getting out of it all getting away. Once I was there, that was it. | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
Anything else, every part of life or anything, it's over. Gone. | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
police started monitoring the site they filmed Wiliam Connors beating | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
a worker. In all, 19 vulnerable men were eventually liberated. And | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
members of the family were arrested. Inside their properties the police | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
found evidence of a very different lifestyles. Been there toilets were | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
piles of cash. The jury was told the defendants had lived the high | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
life, luxury holidays and expensive homes. The family insisted they | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
were good Samaritans, providing the men with jobs and somewhere to live. | :12:20. | :12:27. | |
But the jury disagreed. This was behaviour against very vulnerable | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
people. Some of the worst I've seen in my career as a police officer. | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
The conditions they lived in, the things they experienced, these are | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
very serious offences. The five defendants sought in the dock as | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
the foreman of the jury read out the guilty verdict. In the public | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
gallery, members of their family also sheltered and cried. So much | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
so that the judge ordered the court to be empty. The five will be | :12:51. | :13:00. | |
The computer hacker Gary McKinnon, who fought successfully for a | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
decade to avoid trial in the US, will not face charges in the UK. | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
The Crown Prosecution Service has dropped all charges against the 46- | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
year-old, who in 2001 was accused of one of the largest ever breaches | :13:12. | :13:18. | |
Tensions remain high in Egypt night ahead of voting in a referendum on | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
the country's draft constitution. President Morsi, who drew up the | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
plans, says ratification is essential if Egypt is to move on | :13:24. | :13:34. | |
:13:34. | :13:34. | ||
from the rule of Hosni Mubarak, who was overthrown last year. There | :13:34. | :13:41. | |
have been widespread protests since the document was published. Lyse | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
Doucet has been gauging opinion among the Egyptians in the final | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
hours before voting. The mood in Tahrir Square was | :13:51. | :13:58. | |
festive but there have been days of protest. A draft driven by the | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
powerful Muslim Brotherhood, they say, too vague on freedoms and | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
women's right's. They where the majority of the people who were | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
writing it who came from the Muslim Brotherhood so definitely they | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
rotate and it does not represent Egypt. A presidential adviser | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
denies this charter has an Islamist agenda. We were fighting this for | :14:24. | :14:31. | |
the last six decades of autocratic system. Or individual rights, all | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
women's rights, all democratic balances were observed in the draft. | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
This quiet village is where President Morsi was born. Most | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
Egyptians live in rural areas, most are poor. This new constitution | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
affect every aspect of their lives, from rights, to religion, to the | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
role of the state. I will be the first one at the polling station, | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
with my wife and family, says this man. This constitution gives power | :15:01. | :15:08. | |
to the poor. But a half hour's drive away, in another town, the | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
president's family home is now encircled by barricades. It was | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
recently targeted by angry protesters. It is not hard to find | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
people's views here. Have you seen your constitution? Yes, we have | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
read it. A revolution gave Egyptians a new freedom to speak | :15:26. | :15:36. | |
their mind. No. Our stronghold in the streets quickly leads to | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
impassioned debate. This is very healthy for the people to say yes | :15:40. | :15:50. | |
:15:50. | :15:53. | ||
or no. They are together. I say yes, but... Is this is representative of | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
Egypt now, it is a good sign, some voting yes, some voting no. One | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
hand is the slogan they have used that Egyptians are altogether. | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
Tomorrow's vote is a major stepping-stone in Egypt's | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
tumultuous journey from authoritarian rule to democracy. | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
But this nation is now deeply divided over where it is heading. | :16:16. | :16:23. | |
Our Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen joins me now. We have been looking | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
into the Arab uprisings all week. From your experience, what | :16:26. | :16:34. | |
conclusions can you draw? Remember the incredible euphoria when Hosni | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
Mubarak was removed from office. People at that time thought | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
mistakenly, that things were going to get much better, much faster. | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
But when the weight of an autocracy of a police state is removed, all | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
kinds of things come flooding to the surface. It takes a long time | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
to digest them. What has emerged is it is clear the region will not be | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
a row of dominoes falling over, and a new dispensation emerging, it is | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
a generation long process of change and this week we have been looking | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
at some of the big forces reshaping the Middle East. The desire for | :17:11. | :17:18. | |
change by the under 30 s. Religion, the place of Islam, and the way the | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
uprisings have become entangled with existing conflicts like the | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
cold war between Saudi Arabia and Iran. What is coming up? Iran and | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
its nuclear plants, that could be a big stories. Sectarian tension | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
running right through the region. The civil war in Syria could belong. | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
What happens the day after Assad if he goes or read in the decade after | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
as one top diplomat said to me the other day. And the Israeli- | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
Palestinian conflict, of course, I could go on. One way of looking at | :17:51. | :17:58. | |
this, just to say, if this is a five at play, then around the end | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
of Act Two, the beginning of Act 3, there is an awful lot to come. | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
Thank you. Coming up on tonight's programme: | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
The debutant showing England the route to success in the Test series | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
in India. A woman who told a tabloid | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
newspaper she had a relationship with the BBC DJ John Peel when she | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
was just 15, says she now bitterly regrets going public. Jane Nevin | :18:23. | :18:30. | |
met John Peel in 1969. He was 30 at the time. She says she did not feel | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
abused and kept the relationship secret until the recent revelations | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
about Jimmy Savile. She has been talking to our correspondent David | :18:36. | :18:44. | |
Sillito. This is a picture of Jane Nevin in | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
1969. Her age? 15, 16, and yes I was a naughty girl, very | :18:49. | :18:55. | |
promiscuous in those days. 40 years on, Jane wanted to talk to me about | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
that time, to put the record straight about one specific sexual | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
relationship with the BBC DJ John Peel. You met him at a Black | :19:04. | :19:12. | |
Sabbath big, how young were you? Was that to be used? No, I totally | :19:12. | :19:19. | |
wanted it. I wanted to be with him. I did not feel that he was so Wald | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
and I was not going to tell him I was so young either. He did not | :19:23. | :19:30. | |
know? Of course he didn't. Am are going to say, by the way, I am 15? | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
Why did she speak to the papers? She said the Jimmy Savile | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
revelations had thrown up questions about other DJs. It has been | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
claimed that John Peel's wife was 15 when they married. She wanted to | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
make a point about what was and what was not abuse. John Peel has | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
perhaps got a bit of a tarnish on him now, which is partly my fault. | :19:52. | :20:00. | |
It should not be that way. He was marvellous. He was lovely to me. | :20:00. | :20:08. | |
was a time when boundaries were being blurred. Take the words of | :20:08. | :20:18. | |
this song, Vagabond Virgin. # you were 13, a child from the | :20:18. | :20:25. | |
villages... 30 in? In the 1960s, Virginia Ironside was a groovy rock | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
columnist. Today, she is an agony aunt and she feels free love | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
brought great unhappiness. You were expected to sleep with everybody. | :20:36. | :20:42. | |
The whole idea of no means no, in the 60s, that did not really exist. | :20:42. | :20:49. | |
As far as age goes, it was all blurred. It is curious how the | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
Jimmy Savile staff has sparked, in a lot of my friends of my own age, | :20:55. | :21:02. | |
a real feeling of misery of how things were in the 60s, and how | :21:02. | :21:11. | |
abused we felt. It was, she says, a time of sexual chaos. This is Jimmy | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
Savile's autobiography, written in 1974. On final page, his final | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
thought is all about sex, young ladies and the risk of going to | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
prison. Did no one question this at the time? And who could you speak | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
to? In the sixties and seventies, David Hughes was working in the | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
music business. As a PR man, what stands out is how few questions | :21:34. | :21:44. | |
:21:44. | :21:45. | ||
were being asked. The press did not take an interest in any scandal, | :21:45. | :21:52. | |
where it over -- able to have arisen. For some, it was an era of | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
liberation but others took advantage. If you wanted to speak | :21:58. | :22:08. | |
:22:08. | :22:12. | ||
out, who was listening? 40 years on, we are facing the reckoning. | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, has used his final | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
speech in the House of Lords before standing down at the end of the | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
year to make an impassioned plea for society to stop marginalising | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
the elderly. Dr Williams said the quality of life for older people | :22:24. | :22:32. | |
was a pressing issue, but one which was still largely ignored. | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
One in six of us are over-65s. They are an army the nation needs, says | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
Rowan Williams, but instead they are patronised. We are becoming | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
used to speaking of an ageing population. Of Dr Williams told | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
peers that contempt for the elderly in wider society had recently -- | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
had even caused recent care home abuse. People think older citizens | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
are passive or a nuisance. The more easily they slip into abusive | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
patterns and behaviour. I think it would be harder for the terrible | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
abuse cases to have happened, it would have been harder if they had | :23:12. | :23:18. | |
been a more positive accepting attitude in society. In ten years | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
at Lambeth Palace, Romain Williams has frequently criticised Society | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
for valuing human wealth rather than the human qualities which | :23:26. | :23:33. | |
matter. He warned that the question of elderly abuse was being ignored, | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
while we look at our watches waiting for them to be off our | :23:36. | :23:42. | |
hands. They are people like eight- year-old Lorna Sinclair, whose | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
shops raised thousands for charity. Often, she says, older people are | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
wasted. They are very undervalued, they are forgotten and there is a | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
place for all of them. They have such experience but no one wants to | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
know about them. Today, people are only interested in young people. | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
in Bakewell, formerly the government's voice for older people, | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
backed Dr Williams' call for England to follow Wales and | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
Northern Ireland and appoint a special representative for the | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
elderly. My have called for a commissioner for older people and I | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
think that is very important to take on the problems which exist | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
with an ageing population and to address them as the Archbishop have | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
asked. A more than half of people aged over 60 volunteer or care for | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
family members, saving the economy billions of pounds. The elderly are | :24:35. | :24:42. | |
participants in society, says Dr Williams, not passengers. | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
The former BBC newsreader, Kenneth Kendall, has died in hospital on | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
the Isle of Wight. He was 88. Kenneth Kendall began his BBC | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
career as a radio announcer, before becoming one of the first | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
television newsreaders. He read his last bulletin in 1981, and was then | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
host of the popular channel 4 programme, Treasure Hunt. Paying | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
tribute, the acting Director- General of the BBC, Tim Davie, | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
called him one of the broadcasting greats, who will be hugely missed. | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
England's cricketers have put themselves in a commanding position | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
on the second day of the 4th Test against India. Joe Root scored 73 | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
on his debut, as England finished on 330 all out. India have | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
struggled a reply, finishing the day on 87 for four. Joe Wilson | :25:23. | :25:31. | |
reports from Nagpur. Don't let it be said that lack poor | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
is unprepared, around the cricket ground they were taking no chances | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
-- Nagpur of. The stadium was built so far from anywhere that only be | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
devoted made there by morning. There were precious few inside to | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
see Matt Prior make a valuable 50. He is a well-established asset in | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
England's side. Joe route is his surprise, a gift. Few expected him | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
even to play here. He may look 21, going on 12, but he could not have | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
batted with more maturity. Graeme Swann bashed some timely runs as | :26:08. | :26:15. | |
well, making his 5th Test -- Fifth Test 50 in his 50th Test. The total | :26:15. | :26:22. | |
looked good but it depended on the other team. As the afternoon | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
progressed, the interest grew. Look at the queue here now for people | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
waiting to get in. What Indian fans really laugh is seeing their team | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
backed. Virender Sehwag only entertained England. Cleaned up 40. | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
Anderson had got rid of a big problem in the first over. By the | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
close, England have four wickets, Anderson, three, including Sachin | :26:48. | :26:54. | |
Tendulkar. He may never bat in a test again and India may not have a | :26:54. | :27:00. | |
way back from this match. There is more on the BBC News | :27:00. | :27:03. |
