Sgljtsds South Africa and the world mourn the passing of Nelson Mandela. | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
The man described as the greatest leader of our time. | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
In South Africa, the sadness is mixed with celebration and thanks | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
for the man who brought them democracy. Thank you for the gift of | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
Madiba. Thank you for what he has enable | :00:31. | :00:38. | |
enabled us to know we can become. Here in Britain, people pay tribute | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
to a man whose impact was felt all over the world. | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
He lived this extraordinary life. A belief in this simple principal of | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
fighting discrimination. This extraordinary struggle of all those | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
years in prison. Then the immense triumph of against adversity. | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
There'll be a state funeral a week on Sunday. We are live in | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
Johannesburg with the latest. Also tonight - a lucky escape after the | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
worst tidal surge in 60 years as the east of England is left to count the | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
cost. A Royal Marine who killed a Taliban insurgent is lived a life | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
sentence for murder. And the moment England learnt who they will play in | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
next year's World Cup finals. And coming up in Sportsday on BBC | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
News: England face a difficult day as they try and save the second | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
Ashes Test. That is after Australia pile on the pressure on day two. | :01:38. | :01:58. | |
Good evening. Tributes have been pouring in from around the world for | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
the former South African leader, Nelson Mandela, who died yesterday. | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
The current President confirmed he'll be given a full state funeral | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
a week on Sunday. Tonight, we are in South Africa, where people have been | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
mourning, but also celebrating the life of the man they call the father | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
of the nation. We'll have reaction from Britain and elsewhere to the | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
passing of the man who made the journey from prisoner to President. | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
And we will look at Nelson Mandela's legacy in uniting South Africa after | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
years of apartheid. First tonight, our correspondent, Gabriel | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
Gatehouse, is in Johannesburg. What is the atmosphere there? | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
Well, I am standing just outside the house where a little over 24 hours | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
ago Nelson Mandela passed away and you can probably hear the dancing | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
and the singing in the background. These are old antiapartheid struggle | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
songs. Don't mistake this for happiness though. Flags are flagging | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
at half-mast across South Africa. This is a nation in mourning. | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
They come from all walks of life and from all communities to pay respects | :03:07. | :03:16. | |
outside the home of Nelson Mandela. The sense of bereavement is | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
palpable. For some, almost private, personal. | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
But this is also a coming together, a nation united in mourning, but | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
also in celebration of the life of the man they call Madiba. | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
People are celebrating the life of Nelson Mandela. I think that what he | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
would want us to do to celebrate his life. The world saw him at large. We | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
lived through him. We kept on holding on to that change that he | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
did. I hope with his spirit going, it lives and grows in us. As South | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
Africa prepares for a state funeral of unpress departmented proportions | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
-- unprecedented proportions thoughts turn to what sort of nation | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
Nelson Mandela leaves behind. We will always love Madiba for teaching | :04:09. | :04:16. | |
us that it is possible to overcome hatred and anger in order to build a | :04:17. | :04:24. | |
new nation and a new society. Nelson Mandela went to prison an | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
angry young man - a fighter, committed to defeating his enemies | :04:29. | :04:37. | |
by violence, if necessary. 27 years later, he emerged preaching | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
reconciliation, but he never gave up the struggle. | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
I have no doubt that each and every one of you, all these years, can say | :04:50. | :05:01. | |
with authority and confidence that I have travel travelled this long road | :05:02. | :05:13. | |
to freedom. I trust I did not falter. | :05:14. | :05:22. | |
I made miss-steps along the way, but I have discover discovered the | :05:23. | :05:31. | |
secret that after crossing a great hill one only finds that there are | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
many more hills to cross. In church today, Mr Mandela's | :05:39. | :05:49. | |
long-time collaborator in peace, Archbishop Desmond Tutu gave thanks | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
for a global icon. God, thank you for the gift of Madiba. Thank you | :05:56. | :06:04. | |
for what he has enabled us to know we can become. | :06:05. | :06:13. | |
For decades the struggle against apartheid looked like it might be | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
crushed by a brutal regime. A system that applied violence and racist | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
ideology in equal measure to oppress South Africa's black majority and | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
keep a white elite in power. Having won the battle against apartheid, | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
Nelson Mandela shared his victory with his former oppressors. | :06:33. | :06:40. | |
I think his greatest legacy, to South Africa and to the world, is | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
the emphasis which he has always put on the need for reconciliation. | :06:48. | :06:55. | |
It would be a hard heart indeed that wasn't moved by this spectacle, | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
these flowers, candles, these messages - many written by children | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
in in born in a post apartheid South Africa. Messages which boil down to | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
one thing, tata Madiba, thank you for freeing our country. | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
Though the race laws are gone, South Africa is still a land of vast | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
economic inequalities. In death, as in life, Nelson Mandela's unique | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
ability to bring people together and to lift their spirits remains | :07:30. | :07:37. | |
undimmed. In Britain, tributes to Nelson | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
Mandela came from across the political spectrum. The President | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
was the first to sign a book of condolence for Nelson Mandela in | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
South Africa House. He praised his generosity, humour and sense of | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
forgiveness. Our political editor examines the impact Nelson Mandela | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
made on British politics during the apartheid years and since. This | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
report contains some flash photography. In death, as in life, | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
he's a towering figure, who looks over Parliament alongside Winston | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
Churchill and Abraham Lincoln. To millions, he's more father-figure | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
than politician. A man with the power to move as well as to inspire. | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
This morning, the Prime Minister signed the official book of | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
condolence, ending a biblical quote - blessed are the peace makers. The | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
memory I have is his lack of malice towards those who had done this to | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
him. The Labour leader praised not just Mandela but those in Britain | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
who had fought apartheid. I remember all those people who were part of | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
his movement. He once said about Britain that it was the second | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
headquarters of the ANC in exile. On today of all days, people of all | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
parties and of none, unite in praising Nelson Mandela. During his | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
long struggle against apartheid, that was not always the case. | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
In the 1970s, rugby and cricket teams who agreed to play South | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
African touring sides were targeted. There were demands that British | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
companies and companies stopped invested in the regime. A leading | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
campaigner went on to become Britain's Minister for Africa. Many | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
countries in the west, including Britain and the United States almost | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
saw Nelson Mandela and the ANC as agents of Communist. That is the way | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
it was sense. Nelson Mandela had been in prison for 20 years when | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
Margaret Thatcher choose not to boycott South Africa, but welcome | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
her Prime Minister to Chequers. You don't want to always have the | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
stick to South Africa. I think she's a bit fed up of that. When she does | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
things we want her to do, I think we have to encourage her. She was | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
accused of giving respectability to a murderous regime. Her allies | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
insist she was acting to prevent more bloodshed. What we did was to | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
ensure, so far it was in our power, that apartheid ended peacefully. | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
That was what happened. Now, some people may say that was | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
despite our policy. I would like to think it was because of our policy. | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
Some will never forgive Mrs Thatcher for opposing sanctions and calling | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
Mr Mandela's ANC terrorists. Others point to letters that in private she | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
had for years argued for his release from prison. | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
Nelson Mandela was a regular visitor to London. Gordon Brown sought his | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
help when leading negotiations to make poverty history. He kindly came | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
over and he helped me negotiate a settlement on debt relief, with some | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
of the Finance Ministers of the world. Quietly, behind the scenes, | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
unreported, Nelson Mandela helping us bring about another great change | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
in the world. At the unveiling of his statue in Parliament Square, | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
Mandela recalled what he and an ally had said 45 years earlier. We have | :11:04. | :11:14. | |
hope that one day a statue of a black person would be erected here. | :11:15. | :11:22. | |
Freedom fighter, political prisoner, global statesman. Perhaps Mandela's | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
greatest achievement was to bring together those who once disagreed | :11:27. | :11:34. | |
violently. Thousands of people gathered outside | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
Nelson Mandela's former home in Soweto to celebrate his life. The | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
jops burg township was at -- Johannesburg township was at the | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
heart of the fight against apartheid. | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
Paying tribute to the father of the nation through song and dance. | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
Nelson Mandela was the reconcile ler. This is the very house that Mr | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
Mandela returned the to when he was released from prison, back in | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
February of 1990. We met one of Mr Mandela's | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
neighbours. We all know that... He told us how he took the | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
newly-released prisoner to meet those who lived the same street. I | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
went with Mandela to reintroduce him back to the | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
went with Mandela to reintroduce him back to neighbour s. To make them | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
aware he still loves them. When I wept to school here in Soweto in the | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
late 1970s and 1980s Mr Mandela over the road there, where you see that | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
crowd was still in prison. All this was dead road. This is why Soweto | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
embodied the spirit of the fight against apartheid. Mr Mandela | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
inspired this place to keep that fight going against racial | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
oppression. White South Africans feared after | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
Nelson Mandela's death they would face an uncertain future. | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
The men who succeeded Mandela as President told me that there is | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
nothing to fear. There are some people in the country who feel like | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
that, that when Mandela goes, then all hell will break lose. | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
It's wrong. People should not entertain this | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
fear that something disastrous will happen. Tonight, as the people | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
continue to celebrate Nelson Mandela's life through songs, | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
there's no doubt that his legacy in this place will live on for a long | :13:46. | :13:47. | |
time to come. Our world affairs editor is here | :13:48. | :14:00. | |
with me. You have met Mr Mandela. You interviewed him. What are your | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
personal recollections? I was just watching the report there and | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
thinking of the first time I met Mandela, in 1991. I met him quite a | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
lot of times over the years. I went to that house. I was an | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
hour-and-a-half late for the appointment. I thought, I am going | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
to find out whether he is a decent, nice human being or not. And I was | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
full of apologies, of course. He took me in. Put his arms around me | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
and all the time I was apologising, he was thanking me for my kindness. | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
Can you imagine - in coming to see him. | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
He just had that ability - I never found it in any other leader that I | :14:44. | :14:52. | |
have ever met - to treat you at the level that you could perhaps | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
possibly find it in your heart to be - not the flawed, ordinary, normal | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
failed person that you were, but the person you could be. He seemed to | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
treat you like that. I have a very good friend who has got a profoundly | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
disabled son and this friend goes to see Mandela, or used to go and see | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
Mandela a great deal. When Mandela found out about the son, he insisted | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
that my friend should bring him. He looked after him. He talked to him, | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
which was not easy. He fed him. I have interviewed and met a lot of | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
leaders, I cannot think of anybody who could do that kind of thing. | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
Thank you very much. Well, we will have more on the | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
passing of Nelson Mandela and developments in South Africa later | :15:41. | :15:41. | |
in the programme. But first tonight's other news now | :15:42. | :15:49. | |
and hundreds of properties have been flooded across the east coast of | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
England after a powerful storm triggered the worst tidal surge for | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
60 years. In Boston in Lincolnshire, people have begun to clear up the | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
damage caused when flood defences were breached last night. In | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
Norfolk, a number of properties fell into | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
Scarborough, on the north-east coast, and as the tidal surge came, | :16:07. | :16:15. | |
the driver of this vehicle only had seconds to save himself. He | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
clambered to safety as his van was carried out to sea. -- carried out | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
to sea. In North Wales, Rhyl was underwater. The lifeboat crews on | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
the roads were offering lifts to those in need. | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
In Hemsby in Norfolk, Holmes crashed into the sea. Others hung | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
precariously to the cliff side. Last night's tidal surge was the biggest | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
for 60 years. Steve lost everything when his home collapsed. We stood by | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
the patio doors here and we could see the kitchen fold, the | :16:54. | :17:02. | |
floorboards of the kitchen fold up. As the tide rose last night, he | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
fought to save his home, helped by friends and neighbours who formed a | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
human chain to rescue the family's belongings. We will leave it in | :17:14. | :17:21. | |
storage until we get sorted. What they salvaged is being stored in a | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
local pub until they find a new home. In Boston in Lincolnshire, | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
water cascaded into the town. For many, the day was spent clearing | :17:30. | :17:37. | |
the mess. I spent all year saving up to replace my furniture in my | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
lounge, it is all ruined. At this lifeboat station, the crew recorded | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
the moment they were overpowered by the sea. The rescuers almost needed | :17:48. | :17:57. | |
rescuing from the rising tide. In Great Yarmouth, defences held. | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
Officials checked on the sea wall at high tide to make sure. The | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
Environment Agency says flood defences and advanced warning saved | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
up to 800,000 homes along the East Coast. In Hemsby last night, they | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
watched as Holmes drifted out to sea. The community is once again | :18:20. | :18:29. | |
bracing itself against the tide. In Hemsby they have been campaigning | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
for a sea wall to be built and there is anger tonight, people say they | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
have been left down and left unprotected. -- have been let down. | :18:37. | :18:43. | |
In Scotland, snow and ice could be the next challenge. | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
A Royal Marine filmed killing a Taliban insurgent in cold blood has | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
been given a life sentence with a recommendation he serves a minimum | :18:50. | :18:51. | |
of ten years in prison. Sergeant Alexander Blackman was convicted | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
last month of murdering the Afghan in Helmand Province two years ago. | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
You may find some of our defence correspondent Jonathan Beale's | :19:00. | :19:08. | |
report distressing. Sergeant Al Blackman, a Marine with | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
a proud career and promising future. At least until what has been called | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
a moment of madness. His murder of a wounded Afghan fighter. Today in | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
court the same military panel that has already convicted him passed | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
sentence, life with a minimum of ten years in jail. The judge said, you | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
treated that Afghan man with contempt and murdered him in cold | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
blood. The crime was filmed on a helmet camera worn by one of the | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
Marines. These are the stills from the video played in court that, for | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
the first time, shows Sergeant Blackman's face. He can be heard | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
discussing what to do with the wounded Afghan prisoner lying out of | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
you. Then, I should warn you, he fires the fatal shot. | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
Shuffle off this mortal coil, you BLEEP . | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
Prince Charles has visited the scene where nine | :20:07. | :20:16. | |
that he betrayed his uniform and tarnished the British military's | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
reputation. He was marched out of court for the last time after being | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
informed that he was being dismissed with disgrace from Her Majesty's | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
servers. He is very sorry for any damage caused to the Royal Marines, | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
and he would like to thank the public for support shown to him and | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
his wife. Wii REPORTER: Will he be appealing? | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
Yes. These images filmed around the same time by another group of | :20:48. | :20:49. | |
Marines nearby gives the sense of what they faced, an area of Helmand | :20:50. | :20:56. | |
described in court as hell on earth, a reason why this case has proved | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
highly controversial. A friend says it was a relentless fight against a | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
ruthless enemy. I have spent the last two hours with Sergeant | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
Blackman and his wife as they awaited sentence. At heart, he is | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
still a Royal Marines commando, and their main ethos is to go in the | :21:14. | :21:23. | |
face of adversity. He was described by his commanding officer as not a | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
bad man with a normal citizen tainted only by the impact of war. | :21:28. | :21:36. | |
There's been a warning that that balancing the UK's finances could | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
become more difficult, as a result of measures announced by the | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
Chancellor George Osborne in yesterday's autumn statement. The | :21:43. | :21:44. | |
Institute for Fiscal Studies has suggested there will have to be | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
deeper public spending cuts and said it's unclear where the money for | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
some of the plans will come from. Let's get more on this with our | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
chief economics correspondent Hugh Pym. | :21:54. | :21:55. | |
The high road to recovery, that is what George Osborne says is his plan | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
for the UK. As he visited the JCB factory in Staffordshire today, he | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
was keen to stress the economy was growing in the right places. In the | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
Autumn Statement I set out a plan for a responsible recovery. The job | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
is not done, I want to make sure many more jobs are being created in | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
places like JCB, manufacturing businesses around Britain. But on | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
his plans to balance the books and achieve a surplus in five years, | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
there were questions from a leading think tank which are cute austerity | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
was needed. He says he wants a surplus in 2018/19, that is a big | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
additional cuts in public servers spending more, possibly, social | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
security spending. Assuming no tax rises, the IFA says that after | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
public servers cut of 2.3% a year between 2011 and 2016 that will have | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
to be 3.7% cuts for the next three years, or ?12 billion a year of | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
welfare cuts by 2019. After bruising exchanges in the Commons, the Shadow | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
Chancellor was back in the fray. Unless we can have stronger growth | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
working for more people, with living standards rising, we will not be | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
able to get the deficit down and invest in public services. Some | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
economists argue that growth has been too dependent on consumer | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
spending, fuelled by borrowing and people running down savings, with a | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
genuine recovery requiring more business investment and exports. | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
That as Christmas approaches, Mr Osborne will feel that some growth | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
is better than none. -- but as Christmas approaches. | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
Take a look at this - the reaction of the FA chairman Greg Dyke to | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
England's draw in the next year's World Cup in Brazil. England will | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
play Uruguay, Italy and Costa Rica. It's not just the draw that's | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
tough, England will have to play their opening game in Manaus, the | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
jungle city where humidity levels exceed 80%. Our sports editor David | :23:57. | :23:58. | |
Bond reports from the draw in Brazil. | :23:59. | :24:05. | |
Welcome to the World Cup, Brazilian style. Organisers have spent | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
millions of pounds converting this tropical beach resort in to the | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
venue for today's final draw. Much of the talk in recent days has been | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
of the country's problems and handling such a big global event, | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
but as the great and good of the game arrived, a sense at last of | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
excited anticipation. England manager Roy Hodgson was not only | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
worried about who England played but where, with the risk of having to | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
travel vast distances across the country. So the hope was that when | :24:36. | :24:42. | |
1966 World Cup winner Sir Geoff Hurst drew out the crucial ball, he | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
might give England a lucky break. England! Oh! FHM and Greg Dyke did | :24:49. | :24:58. | |
not hide what he thought. -- FA chairman Greg Dyke. First they will | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
play Italy in the heat and humidity of the Amazon city of Manaus. They | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
will end with that uses match against Costa Rica, but in between | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
is the crucial game against Luis Suarez's Uruguay in Sao Paulo. You | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
don't win on paper, you don't look at games and think which ones you | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
will win, lose or draw, you go out on each occasion, a level against | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
11, the field I mentioned is the same and if you are well required | :25:26. | :25:32. | |
you have a chance of winning -- 11 against 11. England will return to | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
Brazil next summer knowing they start the World Cup as outsiders. | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
While the draw today was far from easy, it could have been much, much | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
tougher. If he was worried, Roy Hodgson was not showing it tonight. | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
He now has six months to find a formula which will help his England | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
team defied expectations. More now on our top story and the | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
reaction to the death of Nelson Mandela. In a rare moment of | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
unanimity, world leaders have paid tribute to the former South African | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
president. From the African nations, to China, Iran, Russia, | :26:06. | :26:07. | |
Europe and across Asia, he's been described as a visionary and the | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
greatest leader of our time. Tributes have also been paid in the | :26:13. | :26:15. | |
United States. Let's go live to Washington and join our North | :26:16. | :26:26. | |
America editor Mark Mardell. The death of no other leader has | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
quite evoked these sorts of reactions from around the world, | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
left and right, north and south, east and West. The message that has | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
come through was that Mandela was a healer, but he was not always seen | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
that way, particularly here. His own struggle inspired President Obama to | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
take his first steps in politics, because there are deep echoes with | :26:50. | :26:52. | |
his struggle in this country, which has fought its own battle against | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
the imposition of one race's political power on another. The flag | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
at the White House flies at half-mast in honour of a man who | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
means much to America. Inside, on the desk of the USA's | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
first black president, sits this photo, a memento of their first | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
meeting. When Obama visited the prison on Robben Island in South | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
Africa he told his daughters of the link between Mandela, Gandhi and | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
Martin Luther King, an example, he says, to the world today. We will | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
not likely see the likes of Nelson Mandela again. So it falls to us as | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
best we can to follow the example he set. To make decisions guided not by | :27:35. | :27:41. | |
hate but by love. To never discount the difference that one person can | :27:42. | :27:47. | |
make. To strive for a future that is worthy of his sacrifice. | :27:48. | :27:57. | |
Nelson Mandela was fated in Washington shortly after his release | :27:58. | :28:00. | |
from prison, but his struggle against apartheid divided the | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
country and he was not taken off the terrorist list until 2008. He was | :28:05. | :28:09. | |
welcomed as South Africa's president, warm hugs from the First | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
Lady who became Secretary of State, who told the BBC that people should | :28:15. | :28:19. | |
mourn and celebrate. We have so much still to learn from him, his | :28:20. | :28:23. | |
example, his understanding of how people need to be brought together. | :28:24. | :28:27. | |
The whole idea of truth and reconciliation, which helped to pave | :28:28. | :28:33. | |
the way for a new South Africa. Mandela was once labelled a | :28:34. | :28:37. | |
Communist by some, but Wall Street fell silent in homage this morning. | :28:38. | :28:42. | |
As the news broke in New York, it was perhaps in Harlem that the | :28:43. | :28:45. | |
tributes were most heartfelt. Mandela was fascinated by the | :28:46. | :28:49. | |
American struggle against white supremacy and is a hero here. We | :28:50. | :28:54. | |
should not mourn him, we should be happy we had somebody to walk the | :28:55. | :28:57. | |
face of this earth and fight for our rights. He was a man, an ordinary | :28:58. | :29:02. | |
man, who decided to fight for what was right. Outside the South African | :29:03. | :29:10. | |
embassy, flowers at the foot of the defiant statue of a man who once | :29:11. | :29:15. | |
evoked fierce divisions but in death is an icon of unity and forgiveness. | :29:16. | :29:17. | |
The anti-apartheid movement in Britain increased the pressure to | :29:18. | :29:20. | |
release Nelson Mandela from his long years in prison. He thanked the | :29:21. | :29:24. | |
British people in a visit in 1996. Razia Iqbal has been looking at his | :29:25. | :29:26. | |
relationship with Britain and the legacy he left behind. | :29:27. | :29:33. | |
From prison to president, he occupied a special place in the | :29:34. | :29:37. | |
heart of a nation thousands of miles from his own. From streets to | :29:38. | :29:42. | |
squares and statues, signposts switch underscored a connection to | :29:43. | :29:46. | |
the study against apartheid outside of South Africa. It is hard to | :29:47. | :29:52. | |
believe the place he was held in higher esteem than the London | :29:53. | :29:56. | |
Borough of Lambeth. It was here in Brixton, home to one of the largest | :29:57. | :30:01. | |
black communities, that he received a rapturous reception. For a man | :30:02. | :30:05. | |
whose life was transformed by the struggle, he in turn transformed the | :30:06. | :30:09. | |
lives of those he encountered. Allah he changed my life, he brought | :30:10. | :30:14. | |
Brixton together, he united us, he was a symbol of peace. Probably the | :30:15. | :30:21. | |
greatest man to have lived in your lifetime. A moment during morning | :30:22. | :30:26. | |
assembly to pray and reflect. Aged ten and 11, these children have been | :30:27. | :30:32. | |
told about Nelson Mandela by their headteacher. He is, like, a great he | :30:33. | :30:38. | |
wrote. Nobody will forget in easily, he will go on for generations. I | :30:39. | :30:45. | |
think he is a great inspiration, a true hero. I think everybody will be | :30:46. | :30:49. | |
remembering him today throughout the whole world. And I think they will | :30:50. | :30:58. | |
in hundreds of years to come, in fact. That is how great he really | :30:59. | :31:05. | |
was. His legacy is enshrined in UK scholarships for disadvantaged | :31:06. | :31:09. | |
students from South Africa. For this lawyer from the Eastern Cape, | :31:10. | :31:13. | |
history is never far from the surface. He ran with my friends to | :31:14. | :31:19. | |
be in the stadium -- I ran with my friends to be in the stadium where | :31:20. | :31:23. | |
he was giving an address. Those henries never fade. -- those | :31:24. | :31:31. | |
memories. The historical and cultural connections are deep. This | :31:32. | :31:35. | |
anthem for a generation was the centrepiece of a concert to mark | :31:36. | :31:43. | |
Mandela's 70th birthday. He was still in prison. His absence then, | :31:44. | :31:46. | |
as well as now, powerfully present. Let's talk to our Johannesburg | :31:47. | :31:48. | |
correspondent Nomsa Maseko, who joins me here in the studio. South | :31:49. | :31:52. | |
Africa is in mourning, as we have seen, but also beginning to look | :31:53. | :31:59. | |
ahead to what South Africa will be without Mandela? That's correct. I | :32:00. | :32:03. | |
am thousands of miles from home at a moment, when news broke yesterday I | :32:04. | :32:08. | |
felt I should have been home, but at the same time I feel this sense of | :32:09. | :32:12. | |
connection with what I am feeling here and people home are feeling, | :32:13. | :32:17. | |
and there is a determination not to let the rainbow nation that Mandela | :32:18. | :32:21. | |
dreamt of two died along with him. There is a determination, | :32:22. | :32:26. | |
particularly from the younger generation carrying the torch of | :32:27. | :32:29. | |
Nelson Mandela, they just society and a free and peaceful country. -- | :32:30. | :32:35. | |
of a just society. That's all from us. In a moment on | :32:36. | :32:39. | |
BBC One it's time for the news where you are. We'll leave you now with | :32:40. | :32:42. | |
some of the extraordinary images of the life and legacy of Nelson | :32:43. | :32:45. | |
Mandela, the father of modern South Africa, who has died at the age of | :32:46. | :32:52. | |
95. There is no easy road to freedom. | :32:53. | :32:57. | |
None of us acting alone can achieve success. We must therefore act | :32:58. | :33:03. | |
together as a united people. Let there be justice for all. Let there | :33:04. | :33:10. | |
be peace for all. Let there be work, prior, water for all. Let each know | :33:11. | :33:20. | |
that, for each, the body, the mind and the soul, have been freed to | :33:21. | :33:28. | |
fulfil themselves. Never, never and never again shall it be that this | :33:29. | :33:36. | |
beautiful land will gain experience the oppression of one by another, | :33:37. | :33:47. | |
the sun shall never set on so glorious a human achievement. | :33:48. | :33:50. |
