Tonight at Ten: The advance of the Taliban. | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
They've now taken control of key parts of Sangin in Helmand province. | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
Afghan security forces are battling to regain control of the area once | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
patrolled by British troops as ministers deny the fight | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
We did hear from families who said all the blood that British troops | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
They are too far away and they don't see the reality. | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
We will be reporting from Afghanistan where local | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
commanders have appealed for more NATO support. | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
Also tonight: More problems for Cumbria as the county is flooded | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
for the third time in a month and more rain is forecast over | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
We can't go on like this, not if towns like this | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
The Forth Road Bridge reopens earlier than expected | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
after emergency repairs but heavy goods vehicles are still banned. | :00:56. | :01:06. | |
Enjoy the wine and the mince pies. Goodbye. | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
Festive greetings to the media from Louis Van Gaal | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
following speculation about his position at Old Trafford. | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
And it won't be long, just a couple of hours, | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
before The Beatles' music is finally made available | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
Later on BBC London: Out on the street. | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
A sharp rise in the number of renters in London facing | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
And, riding through red lights and on the pavement. | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
The Taliban say they're back in control of the town of Sangin | :01:35. | :02:01. | |
Fighting between government troops and the Taliban has intensified | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
in recent days and militants say they've taken over the main police | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
base and the government headquarters. | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
But the Afghan government claims that the fighting is still going on, | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
with British military advisers helping the Afghan troops. | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
There have also been clashes further south at Marjah. | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
Our correspondent Shaimaa Khalil sent this report from Kabul. | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
As the Taliban announced victory in Sangin district, | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
Afghan troops are desperately fighting to push them back, | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
not just from the strategic town, but other districts | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
It looked as if things could get better for the Afghan soldiers, | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
after supplies were airdropped and additional troops arrived. | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
TRANSLATION: We're ready to defend our country, | :02:48. | :02:58. | |
And when we get the order, we will fight the enemy. | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
Here in Kabul, the acting Afghan Defence Minister insists | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
the Army is still resisting and that the operation | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
What do you say to British families who have lost relatives in Sangin, | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
in particular, who said the British military provided support, | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
training, money, they paid in blood, only for the Afghan army to fail? | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
The British and other nations, they have contributed | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
with their blood and their contributions and sacrifice, | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
that is always appreciated by the people of Afghanistan. | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
But at the same time in just one year we took over responsibility, | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
we were thinly spread throughout the country. | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
We tried our best to hold all those areas. | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
The latest fighting in Helmand has exposed weaknesses in the Afghan | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
army and the government in maintaining a solid grip | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
of security after the withdrawal of Nato forces. | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
It is in that weakness that the Taliban found the chance | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
to regroup and deal heavy blows to the Afghan troops | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
Each loss of a strategic position also means loss of Afghan lives | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
and families getting caught in the violence. | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
TRANSLATION: We fled home with the clothes on our backs. | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
I went to the market and saw Taliban militants there. | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
In a statement today, the Taliban condemned the British | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
troops for returning to Helmand province to support Afghan forces. | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
They said the British Government has broken its promise to the people not | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
More than 100 British troops were killed in Sangin alone | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
and as the Taliban continue to tighten their hold | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
on the districts of Helmand province, many will continue to ask | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
Are the authorities there saying that without extra support of some | :05:00. | :05:17. | |
kind from NATO retaking Sangin is simply not possible? Essentially | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
that's what they're saying and you hear that from the local commanders | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
on the ground and the front line but also from the officials. For | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
example, as I spoke to the defence Minister earlier today I asked him | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
what do you want from NATO troops? He basically spoke about the right | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
kind of support. He said that 10, 20, 100 troops on the ground will | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
not make a difference but if we have the right equipment, the right | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
training and, crucially, air support, that is going to make the | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
difference. Remember, that in any of the other battles that has been | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
happening between the Taliban fighters and the Government forces | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
for months now, the real thing that shifted the balance in any of those | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
battles has been air support and that's why you hear from fighters in | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
Sangin how exposed they feel without that so any conversations between | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
the Afghans and NATO allies on how to move forward is definitely going | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
to be about air support. Thank you for the update. | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
The Met Office has warned that Christmas could bring more heavy | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
rain to parts of Cumbria, where some homes and businesses have | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
been flooded for the third time in a month. | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
The River Eden has again burst its banks, forcing some people | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
Forecasters say gale force winds and more heavy rain are due over | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
Christmas, as our correspondent Ed Thomas reports. | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
Hopefully the council will pick it up. | :06:40. | :06:48. | |
This is now becoming all too familiar for newsagent | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
Richard Maguire - for the second time hit by floods. | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
When I first saw it, it was horrifying, really. | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
We cannot go on like this all the time, not if towns like this | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
We cannot have this as a regular occurrence. | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
The River Eden had burst its banks, taken over the high street | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
Well, the first time, a fortnight ago, was about here. | :07:19. | :07:27. | |
Philip Mawdsley is still trying to cope after the first flood here. | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
Where do you begin when you have lost so much? | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
Just going to have to get on with it. | :07:35. | :07:46. | |
The next storm is due to arrive on Christmas Day. | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
The problem is that rivers across Cumbria are full. | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
The ground in places like Appleby is absolutely saturated. | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
So when it rains here, there is nowhere for all this to go. | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
You may have seen an event like we saw yesterday perhaps | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
Well, this is on the back of events over the last month or so. | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
We are seeing a change in the way that the rain storms and rainfall | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
So, how can people move on when they fear more | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
The biggest issue here is the impact on our town. | :08:25. | :08:32. | |
It has the potential to destroy the community, which... | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
..actually is a very, very, very strong community. | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
There will only be two properties occupied in the whole of this area | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
on Christmas Day, which is really sad. | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
But it is still an anxious time, because nobody is certain | :08:45. | :08:53. | |
what the rivers here will do on Christmas Day. | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
The UK economy grew less strongly this year than previously thought, | :08:56. | :09:03. | |
according to the Office for National Statistics. | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
Previously, GDP was estimated to be growing at 0.5% in the third quarter | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
But today this was revised down to 0.4% due to slower | :09:11. | :09:20. | |
than expected growth in the services sector. | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
The ONS also cut its estimate for the second | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
The lower growth means the Bank of England is widely expected | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
to hold back from increasing interest rates | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
The price of oil, which has fallen sharply over the past year to less | :09:33. | :09:41. | |
than 40 dollars a barrel, has created a challenging | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
environment for the oil industry, according to the producers cartel, | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
But it says prices should slowly pick up over the next few years | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
as demand recovers but will probably not reach the previous high of 100 | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
Our industry correspondent John Moylan is here. | :09:56. | :10:04. | |
What happens to oil prices matters to all of us. What Opec says matters | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
too because of its influence in the global oil market. Just 18 months | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
ago prices were up at $115 a barrel. Then they started to tumble, 2015 | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
has been a year of real volatility. Oil was trading at $67 back in the | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
spring. As the year closes, prices have | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
fallen again. This week hitting just over $36 a barrel, its lowest level | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
for more than a decade. So, why is this happening? | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
Places like this are at the heart of an energy revolution that's | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
boosted US oil and gas production and caused prices to fall. | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
And when the countries that make up Opec opted not to cut production | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
Now the oil producing cartel says growing demand in the years ahead | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
will cause prices to recover to around $70 after adjusting | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
for inflation by the end of the decade. | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
There is a huge amount of physical oil above ground and this oversupply | :11:07. | :11:14. | |
is going to keep prices low for quite sometime. | :11:15. | :11:27. | |
Their assumptions that the price is going to rise to $70 by 2020 | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
is very unlikely, unless there is some geo-political intervention. | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
There are winners and losers in this low oil price world. | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
The steep fall in petrol prices this year has kept more cash | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
But big oil producers like Saudi Arabia have | :11:40. | :11:47. | |
seen their income fall, they're getting less cash | :11:48. | :11:49. | |
The oil majors have also slashed investment, hitting employment | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
An estimated 65,000 oil-related jobs have gone across the UK this year, | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
I think there probably will be more job losses. | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
There's been a tremendous number this year but if we don't get | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
exploring again, if we don't get rigs back working and seismic | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
vessels out acquiring data again I think we will see more losses. | :12:19. | :12:27. | |
Back in the US, low oil prices are starting to hurt higher cost | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
producers like fracking firms but Opec says its share of the oil | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
market is still likely to fall by the end of the decade. | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
Longer term Opec thinks oil prices could hit $95 a barrel by 2040. But | :12:39. | :12:46. | |
that suggests that we will not be returning to those high prices that | :12:47. | :12:47. | |
we saw just a few years ago. A brief look at some | :12:48. | :12:57. | |
of the day's other news stories. In Iraq, a major military offensive | :12:58. | :12:59. | |
to push Islamic State militants out of the strategic town of Ramadi | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
is being held back by fierce fighting and bombs | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
planted by the militants. Iraqi officials say they remain | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
confident they will recapture the city before | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
the end of this week. Labour says the Government's promise | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
of an extra ?3.8 billion for the NHS in England next year will be | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
swallowed up by hospital deficits and higher pension costs for staff | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
and that very little will be left The Department of Health says | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
Labour's assumptions were wrong, and they hadn't taken into account | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
efficiency savings likely to be The Scottish Government's plans | :13:32. | :13:33. | |
for a minimum price for alcohol would contravene | :13:34. | :13:41. | |
European trade laws. That's the ruling of | :13:42. | :13:42. | |
the European Court of Justice. Instead, judges said that tax rises | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
on alcoholic drinks were likely The case will now go to the Court | :13:48. | :13:49. | |
of Session in Edinburgh for a final Almost three days after | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
a landslide in China a man has been pulled | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
alive from the rubble The 19-year-old man survived | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
by eating fruit that The accident was caused by a huge | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
rubbish dump collapsing, burying dozens of buildings | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
in a pile of earth and construction A huge rescue and clear-up | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
operation is under way. At least four bodies have been | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
recovered so far. More than 70 people | :14:23. | :14:24. | |
are still missing. The Forth Road Bridge has reopened | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
to traffic after urgent repairs The long delays and diversions | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
suffered by drivers were eased as cars were allowed to cross | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
the bridge between Edinburgh and Fife just before | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
dawn this morning. Ministers were forced to close | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
the 51-year-old crossing to all traffic earlier this month | :14:45. | :14:46. | |
after a crack was found Lorries and other heavy | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
vehicles are still banned, Christmas has come early | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
for these drivers. For just under three weeks the road | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
network in the east of Scotland had been cut in half after | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
the Forth Road Bridge was closed to all traffic, but now | :15:06. | :15:07. | |
it's working once again, with cars, small vans, | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
cyclists allowed back on. It's tremendous that it's open, | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
it's great that it's open early. Engineers dangling high | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
above the Forth have been working hard to repair the cracked | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
steelwork that forced Its shutdown led to traffic jams, | :15:27. | :15:28. | |
long detours and packed trains for those who chose | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
to leave the car at home. Local businesses that rely | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
on the bridge for trade have been Christmas is normally our busiest | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
time of year and it has been absolutely dead, but hopefully our | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
friends from over the water While the bridge reopening has | :15:47. | :15:48. | |
delighted most motorists, large lorries are still barred | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
from it until a permanent repair The impact on the haulage industry | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
could run to ?40 million. For us it is adding | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
on a 60-mile round trip, The closure is costing | :16:03. | :16:04. | |
her company dear. From our point of view, | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
we operate 15 lorries and on average most of them will be crossing | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
the bridge each day, so the cost for us is running | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
into thousands of pounds a week. The effect of that could be | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
catastrophic on us and other For some the transport disruption | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
and worries continue, but for others the partial | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
re-opening of this crossing is a much welcomed early | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
gift for those heading This week we've been reflecting | :16:36. | :16:37. | |
on this year's migration crisis which has reached record levels | :16:38. | :16:50. | |
in Europe in recent months. Some experts have advised caution, | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
stressing that mass movement of people has been an even greater | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
challenge for the international community at key points | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
in the past century, including the Second World War | :17:01. | :17:02. | |
and the wars in Vietnam In the last of our series, | :17:03. | :17:04. | |
our world affairs editor, John Simpson, takes the longer view | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
over patterns of mass migration. The vast wave of would-be immigrants | :17:09. | :17:16. | |
into Europe has seemed unprecedented, and yet this sort | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
of thing has been happening again When Germany invaded Belgium | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
in 1914, 1 million people fled the country, and 250,000 | :17:24. | :17:32. | |
came to Britain. After 1945, an estimated 12 million | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
ethnic Germans fled Eastern Europe. They took refuge in | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
East and West Germany. During the Kosovo conflict | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
in 1988-89, hundreds of thousands During the Kosovo conflict | :17:49. | :18:01. | |
in 1998-99, hundreds of thousands But there is something | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
new and different about I think it is a crisis of politics | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
rather than numbers. What's dramatic about today is this | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
is the first time Europe has faced people coming outside of Europe | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
in large numbers as refugees. So the fact that many are Muslims, | :18:14. | :18:15. | |
that they are from the Middle East, is perceived often as threatening, | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
as challenging Europe's identity. Even so, for centuries now, Britain, | :18:20. | :18:21. | |
like the rest of Europe, has accepted great waves | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
of immigrants, and each time it has needed at least a generation | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
to absorb them. This process of absorption has never | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
been as great as it is now, with more than 300 languages | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
being spoken in schools Yet with each new wave | :18:36. | :18:37. | |
of immigrants, the basic reaction NEWSREEL: The Asians arrived | :18:38. | :18:45. | |
in cold, wet weather at Stansted... We saw this divided response | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
when almost 60,000 Ugandan Asians were forced out by | :18:52. | :18:53. | |
Idi Amin in the 1970s. Some people welcomed | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
them, others didn't. If there was room, there was houses, | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
there was jobs I would say nothing about it, nothing at all, but again, | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
I say that we have too many coloured people in this country to absorb | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
in our community at this time. That hasn't always been | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
the international response. After the Vietnam War, | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
the Vietnamese boat people, fearing Communist persecution, | :19:21. | :19:22. | |
sought refuge abroad, and the United States persuaded | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
the outside world to accept them. We have a global problem, | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
which is poor global governance, if you like, | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
at a multilateral level. The US doesn't have the influence | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
that it had, and the big powers don't agree fundamentally on some | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
of these big issues, No-one can come in with a big stick | :19:47. | :19:48. | |
and sort it out, therefore we are left picking up the pieces | :19:49. | :19:56. | |
in ways that are extremely An entire century of | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
exile and homelessness. So is the cause - conflict | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
and bad government. Unless they are dealt with, | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
the flow won't stop. The former England football player | :20:11. | :20:19. | |
and coach, Don Howe, He earned 23 England caps before | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
establishing himself as a renowned He was a key member of the coaching | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
staff for three England managers in a career that spanned | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
more than 50 years. Louis van Gaal, the Manchester | :20:33. | :20:41. | |
United manager, spent just a few minutes fielding questions | :20:42. | :20:43. | |
from journalists today before walking out of a news conference | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
in response to all the speculation He's been criticised recently | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
because United have been knocked out of the Champions' League and have | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
also lost their last six games. Let's join our sports correspondent, | :20:56. | :20:57. | |
David Ornstein, at Old Trafford. This was an extraordinary | :20:58. | :21:07. | |
performance from Louis van Gaal. The like of which we rarely see in top | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
level sport. The big question is, was this premeditated, an attempt to | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
galvanise the players, fans and staff, to create a siege mentality. | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
Or was it a sign of Louis van Gaal beginning to show the strain of | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
Manchester United's worst run of form in 17 years? He arrived in May | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
2014 to great fanfare and with a glittering CV. Louis van Gaal | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
formerly of Ajax, Barcelona and Bayern Munich picked to take | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
Manchester United back to the summit of their post-Sir Alex Ferguson | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
plummet. He made a reasonable start, but now after a run of six games | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
without victory the pressure is on. Today the media bore the brunt. Has | :21:52. | :21:59. | |
anybody in this room not a feeling to apologise to me? Nobody has that | :22:00. | :22:12. | |
feeling? That's what I am wondering. I was already sacked. I have read, I | :22:13. | :22:20. | |
have been sacked. I helped my players. I wish you a merry | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
Christmas and maybe also a happy new year when I see you. Enjoy the wine | :22:27. | :22:37. | |
and a mince pie. Goodbye. And with that he was off. The glare said it | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
all. But if Louis van Gaal felt isolated he felt a friend in a | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
rival, the Premier League's longest serving manager. I personally have | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
huge respect for Louis van Gaal and I think what's going on on there at | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
the moment is disrespectful. This guy has worked for 30 years in | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
football and has delivered unbelievable quality of work. But | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
the world's biggest clubs demand success and van Gaal must now call | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
upon all his experience to deliver what Manchester United expect. | :23:13. | :23:20. | |
Fixtures over the Christmas period are always vital for van Gaal never | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
more so than now. Chelsea's sacking of Jose Mourinho last week show that | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
at the biggest clubs managers are rarely safe, however big their name | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
or reputation. The bottom line is that it is results that matter most. | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
Huw. David, thank you. In one sense, it's an early | :23:36. | :23:43. | |
Christmas present for Beatles fans, because from tomorrow The Beatles' | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
music will finally be available on streaming services such | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
as Spotify, Google Play and Apple The tracks will go live at one | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
minute past midnight, including their studio albums | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
and their best-known compilation 1967, all you need is love, | :23:55. | :24:10. | |
broadcast live by what was then the latest thing, satellite. But 38 | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
years on there's a new technology growing ology growing rapidly, 80% a | :24:17. | :24:28. | |
year - streaming. All you need is a computer or smartphone. Any song at | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
the push of a button. So if you want to listen to Yesterday, you've got a | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
great choice. Kenny G? Andre Rieux... But not until now the | :24:36. | :24:56. | |
Beatles original, the decision to stream though hasn't been taken | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
lightly. Big old acts like the Stones and Led Zeppelin, they keep | :25:03. | :25:09. | |
the lights on at record labels. For every Ed Sheeran or Taylor Swift, a | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
lot of money goes into hearing about those artists and those artists | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
don't often make money back. Remember, the biggest selling album | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
of the year of 2000 was The Beatles. And visit Abbey Road studios and | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
there's always a crowd of young people. So 50 years on after their | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
heyday here at Abbey Road, The Beatles are still finding a new | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
generation of fans, but are they buying the music? You like The | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
Beatles? Of course. Have you ever bought a Beatles song? What? | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
Actually no. No. I just YouTube it. No. My dad has it already. The | :25:52. | :26:04. | |
problem is CDs brought a torrent of cash, streaming a dibble, but it is | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
where the fans are going. If you're not, there even a song like | :26:08. | :26:10. | |
Yesterday can be foregroten. E not, there even a song like | :26:11. | :26:12. | |
Yesterday can be foregroten. -- forgotten. I don't know it. I have | :26:13. | :26:23. | |
no idea. I don't know, mate. I don't know, mate. Happy Christmas! So, | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
streaming might not be lucrative but it will at least give them a chance | :26:29. | :26:30. | |
to meet The Beatles. | :26:31. | :26:35. |
