:02:51. > :02:55.remarkably, seven years ago, he was transformed into the man who said
:02:56. > :03:00.yes, yes to becoming First Minister of his country, yes to working with
:03:01. > :03:05.the deputy, once an IRA man in bitter enemy, Martin McGuinness. I

:03:14. > :03:18.decades, his allegiance to Britain, mine to Ireland, but we had a proper
:03:19. > :03:24.decent working relationship and friendship. Ministers who once
:03:25. > :03:31.feared him came to like and admire him. Ian Paisley was the Unionist
:03:32. > :03:38.leader who militantly always said no but at the moment, when it became
:03:39. > :03:42.possible to get a deal with Sinn Fein, he said yes. Nobody else could
:03:43. > :03:47.have done that and he therefore would have a legacy of transforming
:03:48. > :03:53.Northern Ireland from horror and evil into hope and peace. His
:03:54. > :04:00.response to the brutal bloody sectarian violence, which scarred
:04:01. > :04:05.his country from 1969, throughout the 70s, 80s, half of the 90s was to
:04:06. > :04:12.protest, March and threaten on behalf of the Unionists. His became
:04:13. > :04:20.a brand name for the fight against Irish republicanism. A man with no
:04:21. > :04:25.apparent self doubt, he created his own free Presbyterians church,
:04:26. > :04:33.political party. With the first attempt at power`sharing failed, he
:04:34. > :04:41.succeeded, becoming an MP and later, NDP. To many Catholics, he was
:04:42. > :04:47.simply a bigot, a man who had to be ejected from the European Parliament
:04:48. > :04:51.for calling the Pope the Antichrist. In 1998, with the people of Northern
:04:52. > :04:58.Ireland said yes to the Good Friday agreement, he continued to Balerno.
:04:59. > :05:01.He accused the then leader, David Trimble, of selling out and doing
:05:02. > :05:11.dirty deals with terrorists who had yet to give up their weapons. But
:05:12. > :05:15.when they did, the man whose religion was so fundamentalist
:05:16. > :05:20.showed that his politics could be pragmatic. Their bond became so
:05:21. > :05:23.close that they were soon dubbed the chuckle Brothers. That
:05:24. > :05:27.transformation from the once terrifying firebrand was too much
:05:28. > :05:32.for some of his own supporters to bear, too much for others to
:05:33. > :05:37.believe. But his wife says it was rooted in their deep shared
:05:38. > :05:48.religious faith. Yes, we discussed it, we read about it, how we could
:05:49. > :05:52.lose friends and probably would but we thought, the country has come
:05:53. > :05:59.through such a terrible time and people right across the board have
:06:00. > :06:03.been hurt and damaged beyond all description and we can't continue
:06:04. > :06:09.that. Politicians who negotiated with him found a vast gulf between
:06:10. > :06:12.the private Paisley, softly spoken, courteous, witty, and the public
:06:13. > :06:18.persona they feared and even despite. His contribution to peace
:06:19. > :06:27.in Northern Ireland has been immense. He ultimately took the
:06:28. > :06:30.decision to make it happen. Ian Paisley was of course preacher as
:06:31. > :06:34.well as politician. He had been ill for some time. In his final sermon,
:06:35. > :06:41.he reflected on the inevitability of death. Not all his enemies have
:06:42. > :06:45.forgiven him, not all will be grieving tonight, but those who are
:06:46. > :06:48.we give thanks for the man once known as Doctor no who went on to
:06:49. > :06:52.become Doctor yes. politics for almost half a century.
:06:53. > :06:57.His personality and his decision to opinion. Our Ireland correspondent,
:06:58. > :07:14.Chris Buckler, As you have been hearing, he was a
:07:15. > :07:19.man of contradictions. He was so charming one minute and terrifying
:07:20. > :07:24.the next. Many Catholics saw them is a frightening figure. On the other
:07:25. > :07:31.hand, many unionists regarded him as a campaigner, hero. That may well
:07:32. > :07:37.have been his obituary until he agreed to do the deal with Sinn
:07:38. > :07:46.Fein. As a result, he has a very complicated legacy. Time and time
:07:47. > :07:52.again, Ian Paisley has been referred to as a towering figure, his place
:07:53. > :07:58.in history was remembered at Belfast City Hall today the place where
:07:59. > :08:06.decades before, he vowed never to do a deal with Republicans. But that
:08:07. > :08:11.was in many ways a different era. I expect it will go down in history
:08:12. > :08:16.books. There is no doubt that Ian Paisley played a part in bringing
:08:17. > :08:21.peace to this part of the UK. Investment can be seen in Belfast
:08:22. > :08:47.because of the troubles. But there was a personal cost. It is true that
:08:48. > :08:54.he was hurt. The Bible speaks about being wounded in the house of one's
:08:55. > :09:00.friends. On the other side of this city, Ian Paisley was for most of
:09:01. > :09:04.his life seen as the enemy. The Catholic population were terrified
:09:05. > :09:09.of the effect of the things he said early on in his career but I was
:09:10. > :09:18.most happy that he chose the party chose towards the end. And his
:09:19. > :09:21.actions do have a legacy for new generations. These teenagers were
:09:22. > :09:29.born in the late 1990s, when the peace process was cemented. We study
:09:30. > :09:34.him and Northern Ireland has a history course in GCSE. They do see
:09:35. > :09:45.the benefit of those years of political progress. I wouldn't say
:09:46. > :09:49.there is a division. And in this cafe, many were struggling to
:09:50. > :09:53.understand the true reason by Ian Paisley finally agreed to a deal
:09:54. > :10:00.with Sinn Fein after so many years of refusing to even talk to them. He
:10:01. > :10:04.met the enemy. It's easy to demonise the other side when they are far
:10:05. > :10:08.away and you can make whatever assumptions you like about them. Ian
:10:09. > :10:14.Paisley will certainly be remembered, not least in the church
:10:15. > :10:16.he once preached. No one can live that he made a mark in his short
:10:17. > :10:19.time. The South African athlete
:10:20. > :10:21.Oscar Pistorius has been found guilty of the culpable homicide or
:10:22. > :10:23.the manslaughter The parents of Reeva Steenkamp have
:10:24. > :10:29.said they are "shocked" The judge said the 27`year`old

:10:35. > :10:36.a gun through his bathroom door, killing Reeva Steenkamp,

:10:41. > :10:42.sentenced next month. He could face up to 15 years

:11:02. > :11:07.ended saw topically in Pretoria today. The judge finally came to her
:11:08. > :11:15.verdict. But it was not quite murder nor was it an acquittal. Reeva
:11:16. > :11:25.Steenkamp's family were not entirely satisfied. It's judgement time. A
:11:26. > :11:31.dramatic pause as Oscar Pistorius stands and weights. The unanimous
:11:32. > :11:37.decision of this court is the following... The judge gets straight
:11:38. > :11:46.to the point. The accused is found not guilty and is discharged.
:11:47. > :11:53.Instead, he is found guilty of culpable homicide. For once, a muted

:12:09. > :12:14.nightly athlete her, believing as the judge now agrees that an
:12:15. > :12:18.intruder had broken in through to Pistorius's own tearful evidence at
:12:19. > :12:30.his murder trial. She was not breathing. To the anxious wait
:12:31. > :12:33.yesterday and today to a verdict. Immediately afterwards, his uncalled
:12:34. > :12:42.thanked the judge for rejecting the charge of murder. We as a family
:12:43. > :12:53.remain deeply affected by the devastating tragedy of event and it
:12:54. > :12:58.won't bring her back but our hearts still go out for her family and
:12:59. > :13:02.friends. When it comes to murder, Oscar Pistorius has been given the
:13:03. > :13:07.benefit of the doubt many here consider he has had a lucky escape.
:13:08. > :13:11.As the Reeva Steenkamp's friends and family, they still need to know
:13:12. > :13:16.whether her killer will spend any time in prison. We have to learn to
:13:17. > :13:21.live without her now. The grieving family have expressed
:13:22. > :13:31.disappointment. Only people that have gone through this will
:13:32. > :13:37.understand. It's easy for other people to look in and see and listen
:13:38. > :13:45.but only once they have gone through it will they know what it is like.
:13:46. > :13:49.Today, Pistorius left court still on bail in a nation no longer startled
:13:50. > :13:55.by the idea of a famous white man being judged by a black woman. She
:13:56. > :14:00.will decide if he goes to prison next month. He could still get a
:14:01. > :14:07.prison term. This is very serious because of the use of a firearm and
:14:08. > :14:12.the fact that four shots were fired. Tonight, Pistorius is back at a
:14:13. > :14:15.relative's house, if all an icon hoping for freedom in a country

:14:24. > :14:28.Force of personality and sheer determination helped him
:14:29. > :14:31.win many more in the years to come but some who
:14:32. > :14:35.knew him had concerns about a more troubled side to his personality.
:14:36. > :14:43.Our chief sports correspondent, Dan Roan, reports.
:14:44. > :14:51.Oscar Pistorius did more than win races. He changed the way the world
:14:52. > :14:55.viewed disability. But long before you became extraordinary, ordinary
:14:56. > :15:04.was all he wanted to be. They may call me the blade runner, but I was
:15:05. > :15:10.just Oscar. Today, I can look back and say my parents made the right
:15:11. > :15:19.decision. Few know Pistorius as well as this Olympian, his long`term
:15:20. > :15:24.training partner. I can't count how many times he hugged me. A
:15:25. > :15:32.gentleman. He will stick to his ways. That dream began when at
:15:33. > :15:41.school, Pistorius was given prosthetics and began to run. It was
:15:42. > :15:45.here in Pretoria in March 2004 when a teenage Pistorius, after just two
:15:46. > :15:57.months of training with blades, showed just how good he was.
:15:58. > :16:05.Confidence was no problem as Pistorius told the BBC in 2007. I
:16:06. > :16:15.put in more hours, eat better, the better, I am more diligent. Oscar
:16:16. > :16:19.Pistorius is flying away from all of them! Paralympic golds followed in
:16:20. > :16:25.Athens and Beijing. By now, Pistorius had become a brand. They
:16:26. > :16:33.told me I would never walk, the man with no legs can't drive, anything
:16:34. > :16:44.is you want to tell me? In 2012, Pistorius made history. But there
:16:45. > :16:48.was controversy in London. He told me they had to move out of the room
:16:49. > :16:52.because Oscar had gone hysterical and was shouting and screaming on
:16:53. > :16:57.the phone. I heard the story from so many other athletes who said it was
:16:58. > :17:01.terrible to witness this incredible meltdown. He later said he left the
:17:02. > :17:05.room on medical advice before a big race. There was a growing sense fame

:17:40. > :17:45.will be incredibly different. People already asking if he can return to
:17:46. > :17:48.athletics. I think Rio is virtually impossible. It is how he feels
:17:49. > :17:51.psychologically and how people will treat him around the world. The
:17:52. > :17:56.world. Pistorius will now be defined by tragic events away from the
:17:57. > :18:10.track. Whatever his punishment. One of sports most dramatic falls from
:18:11. > :18:15.grace is complete. Six days to go to a referendum. Both sides are pushing
:18:16. > :18:19.hard for every last vote. Sophie is in Edinburgh. The campaigning has
:18:20. > :18:23.intensified. The First Minister Alex and took the yes campaign on a world
:18:24. > :18:26.winter of seven cities in Scotland while the Labour leader Ed Miliband
:18:27. > :18:30.was joined by the former prime ministers Gordon Brown at a rally in
:18:31. > :18:35.Glasgow urging people to vote no. The latest polls suggest the result
:18:36. > :18:44.close to call. So close in fact that the Chancellor George Osborne has

:19:48. > :19:52.This time next week we will know how Scotland has voted. At the moment it
:19:53. > :19:55.looks as if the result could be incredibly close. Tonight, here in
