:00:00. > :00:08.Tonight at Ten: A stark warning that the Zika virus will spread

:00:09. > :00:12.to most countries in South, Central and North America.

:00:13. > :00:16.It's already been blamed for thousands of birth defects

:00:17. > :00:20.in Brazil and so far there's no vaccine or treatment available.

:00:21. > :00:23.The virus is spead by mosquitoes and the World Health Organisation

:00:24. > :00:38.The explosive spread of the virus to a geographical areas is another

:00:39. > :00:42.cause for concern. We'll be reporting from Brazil

:00:43. > :00:45.and we'll be looking at the latest scientific evidence

:00:46. > :00:47.about the Zika virus. Also tonight: At the Hillsborough

:00:48. > :00:50.inquest the coroner tells the jury they must ask whether the 96 victims

:00:51. > :00:52.were killed unlawfully. A British explorer has died just 30

:00:53. > :00:55.miles from finishing the first solo A special report from eastern

:00:56. > :01:15.Afghanistan where so-called Islamic State is trying

:01:16. > :01:22.to extend its influence. And all three panels of Monet's

:01:23. > :01:24.famous Water Lily work will be displayed together in public

:01:25. > :01:29.for the first time in Europe. Later, on Reporting Scotland: Safety

:01:30. > :01:32.on the West Coast railway line. A high-speed train was allowed

:01:33. > :01:35.to cross this viaduct And after a series of landslips

:01:36. > :01:43.force repeated closures of the A83 - extra cash to try to keep

:01:44. > :02:00.the road open. The World Health Organisation has

:02:01. > :02:05.issued a warning that the zika virus, which is being blamed

:02:06. > :02:09.for thousands of birth defects in Brazil, is likely to spread

:02:10. > :02:12.to almost every country in South, There's no vaccine against the virus

:02:13. > :02:17.and pregnant women have been advised to avoid travelling to countries

:02:18. > :02:23.where it's present. The virus is carried by mosquitoes,

:02:24. > :02:25.but experts admit they know very For the latest, let's

:02:26. > :02:38.join our South America In just over a year this

:02:39. > :02:42.little-known virus has arrived here in Brazil, it's out of control

:02:43. > :02:47.taking root here in Brazil and across the Americas. The Zika virus

:02:48. > :02:48.has been linked to debilitating birth defects in children, and as

:02:49. > :02:52.we've been finding out in Rio de birth defects in children, and as

:02:53. > :02:56.Janeiro and in the worst hit areas of northern Brazil, the authorities

:02:57. > :02:58.here are not very well placed to deal with it.

:02:59. > :03:03.Cared for and loved as much as any other child but an increasing number

:03:04. > :03:07.of babies in Brazil are being born with a condition that will affect

:03:08. > :03:13.them for the rest of their lives. Chris Ivory is driving fear into the

:03:14. > :03:16.hearts of thousands of resilient families -- microcephaly. And in

:03:17. > :03:23.many cases mothers may not be aware of it until their baby is born.

:03:24. > :03:25.Linked to the mosquito borne Zika virus the virus is having worldwide

:03:26. > :03:33.repercussions. The explosive spread of Zika virus

:03:34. > :03:36.to new geographical areas with little population immunity is

:03:37. > :03:41.another cause for concern. Especially given the possible link

:03:42. > :03:48.between infection during pregnancy and baby is born with small heads.

:03:49. > :03:52.In the Brazilian city of Salvador, gentle physiotherapy helps ease the

:03:53. > :03:57.pain of muscular problems associated with microcephaly. In addition to

:03:58. > :04:01.smaller than average head size zika may be responsible for a range of

:04:02. > :04:08.debilitating conditions affecting a generation of children and their

:04:09. > :04:11.families. TRANSLATION: It's really hard, he's our first child and we

:04:12. > :04:16.never expected to have a baby that needs special care. His father was

:04:17. > :04:19.still shocked and wanted to remain anonymous and added it was not his

:04:20. > :04:24.fault and the doctors still don't know how the condition will develop.

:04:25. > :04:28.Such is the scale of the problem in the city of Recife, the Army has

:04:29. > :04:33.been deployed to battle the mosquito borne virus. Going door-to-door,

:04:34. > :04:40.soldiers check homes and water supplies amid fears that zika may

:04:41. > :04:43.already be out of control. Indeed, zika has spread like wildfire. Here

:04:44. > :04:48.in Colombia there have been thousands of reported cases and the

:04:49. > :04:52.outbreak covers more than 20 countries. Colombia is even advising

:04:53. > :04:57.women to delay any plans they may have to get pregnant. But it's in

:04:58. > :05:00.Brazil where the health system is already under strain and the added

:05:01. > :05:05.pressure of thousands of visitors coming for this year's Olympics that

:05:06. > :05:09.zika is having the biggest impact. While some countries have issued

:05:10. > :05:13.very strict travel advice, the real question is whether Brazil itself

:05:14. > :05:16.can cope with the scale of the zika out-braked. This is the favela on

:05:17. > :05:20.the edge of the Olympic Park with open sewers and lots of stagnant

:05:21. > :05:26.water, perfect mosquito breeding ground. But all the authorities have

:05:27. > :05:30.said they might do so far as fumigate these areas in the run-up

:05:31. > :05:34.to the Games. This house was demolished and now I'm stuck with

:05:35. > :05:38.this standing pool of water, risking zika and dengue fever, says this

:05:39. > :05:42.woman who has lived here for 20 years. Haven't given us any

:05:43. > :05:47.information about how to prevent zika, except to put on insect

:05:48. > :05:51.repellent. Would-be mothers across Latin America are scared. If they

:05:52. > :05:56.have contracted zika it's not until late in a pregnancy that any foetal

:05:57. > :06:00.deformities will show, so it's a race against time. A vaccine for

:06:01. > :06:02.zika may not be found for three years and this is developing into a

:06:03. > :06:06.major health crisis. As we heard, the zika virus

:06:07. > :06:09.is carried by mosquitoes, and there's currently no vaccine

:06:10. > :06:16.or treatment available. So what causes it, how does

:06:17. > :06:19.it spread, and who's Here's our medical

:06:20. > :06:22.correspondent Fergus Walsh. When infected with the zika virus,

:06:23. > :06:30.it can pass it to humans which also spreads dengue

:06:31. > :06:36.fever. The zika virus was identified way

:06:37. > :06:42.back in 1947 in Uganda. But until a few months ago the zika

:06:43. > :06:46.virus was not thought to be a public 80% of those infected

:06:47. > :06:50.have no symptoms. In the rest it can cause a mild

:06:51. > :06:52.fever and headaches, In less than a year it's spread

:06:53. > :07:09.from Mexico, the Caribbean, to South America, 21 countries

:07:10. > :07:11.in all, most notably There doctors believe it represents

:07:12. > :07:16.a major health threat to women infected in the early

:07:17. > :07:22.stages of pregnancy. They think zika may cause a normally

:07:23. > :07:25.rare condition in infants born with unusually small

:07:26. > :07:31.heads and damaged brains. The only serious risk

:07:32. > :07:44.to public health is to pregnant women and pregnant women,

:07:45. > :07:46.if they get infected, they could have babies

:07:47. > :07:47.with microcephaly. So pregnant women should

:07:48. > :07:54.consider very seriously whether to travel to places where

:07:55. > :07:59.there is zika infection going on. Zika is quite unlike the deadly

:08:00. > :08:02.Ebola virus, which has killed more Ebola is highly contagious,

:08:03. > :08:13.whereas Zika does not pass This is not Ebola, this

:08:14. > :08:17.is a disease that is transmitted from mosquitoes so it

:08:18. > :08:23.will only be a problem in areas where there is this

:08:24. > :08:25.the same mosquito that But like Ebola it is an emerging

:08:26. > :08:32.infectious disease, It's too cold in the UK

:08:33. > :08:36.for the mosquito that carries the zika virus,

:08:37. > :08:38.so it's not a public But global health officials believe

:08:39. > :08:43.in time it will spread to many more countries, including parts

:08:44. > :08:44.of the United States. At the inquests into the deaths

:08:45. > :08:50.of 96 football fans at the Hillsborough Stadium

:08:51. > :08:53.in Sheffield in 1989, the coroner has started summing up

:08:54. > :08:56.260 days of evidence. He's asked the jury to answer

:08:57. > :08:59.a series of questions, including whether the Liverpool

:09:00. > :09:00.supporters who died Our north of England correspondent

:09:01. > :09:07.Judith Moritz has more details. Hillsborough took away

:09:08. > :09:11.the lives of 96 men, They were mothers and fathers,

:09:12. > :09:17.brothers and sisters, The youngest was just ten,

:09:18. > :09:23.the oldest a pensioner of nearly 70. Their families have spent more

:09:24. > :09:25.than a quarter of a century For the last two years they have sat

:09:26. > :09:30.through hours of harrowing The coroner's speech today marks

:09:31. > :09:35.the beginning of the end. I don't know what I am

:09:36. > :09:41.going to do when this is over, I really, truly don't know

:09:42. > :09:45.what I am going to do. Hillsborough is all

:09:46. > :09:47.I have ever known. The inquests have examined every

:09:48. > :09:50.aspect of what happened at Britain's worst stadium disaster,

:09:51. > :09:52.when the fans were crushed Now the jurors have been given

:09:53. > :09:57.a questionnaire based Amongst the 14 questions they'll

:09:58. > :10:04.have to answer is whether the 96 people who died were

:10:05. > :10:05.unlawfully killed. They will also be asked

:10:06. > :10:07.whether the police and ambulance services made any errors

:10:08. > :10:09.which contributed to And they will consider topics

:10:10. > :10:15.including the design of the stadium Former Chief Superintendent David

:10:16. > :10:19.Dukinfield was in charge More than 25 years later,

:10:20. > :10:23.he came to the new inquests Was he responsible for manslaughter

:10:24. > :10:33.by gross negligence? The jury have to be sure of that

:10:34. > :10:37.if accepting the fans It is nearly two years since

:10:38. > :10:42.the jurors came to Hillsborough. They saw for themselves

:10:43. > :10:44.where the crowd built up here outside the ground

:10:45. > :10:51.and they went through the tunnel, under the Sheffield Wednesday

:10:52. > :10:55.sign, towards the pitch. Since then, they have sat

:10:56. > :10:59.through many months of often very harrowing evidence and their task

:11:00. > :11:02.will be to find answers She is pleased the jury

:11:03. > :11:11.is being asked for more than just What the narrative does is give

:11:12. > :11:26.the opportunity to expand on what is ultimately going out

:11:27. > :11:29.to the public so it isn't just a finding and a one line

:11:30. > :11:32.statement that the people can The coroner is expected to take

:11:33. > :11:37.three weeks to sum up the evidence. The jury will be

:11:38. > :11:39.sent out next month. Tributes have been paid

:11:40. > :11:44.to the British explorer Henry Worsley, who's died

:11:45. > :11:47.in his attempt to become the first person to cross the Antarctic

:11:48. > :11:50.without support. The former army officer had walked

:11:51. > :11:54.more than 900 miles and was only 30 miles from his goal

:11:55. > :11:57.when he was taken ill and airlifted He was attempting a 1,000-mile

:11:58. > :12:02.unsupported trek across the continent, following in

:12:03. > :12:06.the footsteps of Sir Ernest Shackleton a century ago,

:12:07. > :12:08.as our science editor Nowhere on Earth is more

:12:09. > :12:16.hostile to human life. So crossing the icy,

:12:17. > :12:18.vast and dangerous continent of Antarctica alone and unaided

:12:19. > :12:20.was always going to be Henry Worsley was trying something

:12:21. > :12:26.no one had managed before, and he nearly did it,

:12:27. > :12:28.but ill and exhausted I have run out of time,

:12:29. > :12:47.physical endurance, and simple sheer ability to slide

:12:48. > :12:49.one ski in front of the other to travel the distance required

:12:50. > :12:54.to reach my goal. After a trek of 900 miles with just

:12:55. > :13:00.30 to go he called for a pick-up. He was flown to Chile

:13:01. > :13:02.and after complete Henry Worsley was someone who knew

:13:03. > :13:11.the dangers of the Polar world. Before a previous expedition

:13:12. > :13:13.to Antarctica he trained in Greenland and seemed to remain

:13:14. > :13:15.calm, whatever happened. Henry?

:13:16. > :13:22.Yes? How are you?

:13:23. > :13:26.Are you OK? Yeah, I'm all right.

:13:27. > :13:28.You crack on. And last year he told us

:13:29. > :13:32.what worried him most. The biggest threat really

:13:33. > :13:34.will be from the weather, and possibly from crevasses

:13:35. > :13:36.on the final 100 miles as I come down the

:13:37. > :13:38.Shackleton Glacier. His hope was to follow

:13:39. > :13:41.in the footsteps of the great polar explorer Ernest Shackleton,

:13:42. > :13:43.who tried and failed to cross the captain of the expedition ship

:13:44. > :13:51.Endurance. Travelling alone was the ultimate

:13:52. > :13:55.test. Going solo with no resupply

:13:56. > :14:00.and being unassisted in all shapes and forms is the purist form

:14:01. > :14:03.and the hardest form of travel quite possibly on the surface

:14:04. > :14:06.of the Earth. Only a week ago he believed

:14:07. > :14:09.he was still on course. I'm jolly hungry, I'm

:14:10. > :14:17.jolly tired and I've got a deadline to meet for a pick-up

:14:18. > :14:21.on somewhere around the 24th. He never made it,

:14:22. > :14:27.but his friends Princes William and Harry, said

:14:28. > :14:30.he'll be an inspiration, and he'll be remembered

:14:31. > :14:32.for coming so close to making David Shukman reporting

:14:33. > :14:35.on the explorer Henry Worsley, President Ashraf Ghani

:14:36. > :14:42.of Afghanistan has called on the international community

:14:43. > :14:44.to help his government tackle the growing threat of so-called

:14:45. > :14:47.Islamic State in the east It means that, one year

:14:48. > :14:53.after the end of the Nato combat mission, the Afghan authorities

:14:54. > :14:56.are struggling to cope with threats From Afghanistan, our correspondent

:14:57. > :15:00.Justin Rowlatt sent Refugees put up rough shelters

:15:01. > :15:09.on a patch of wasteland outside These aren't victims of the Taliban,

:15:10. > :15:19.but of so-called Islamic State. The Islamist militants have seized

:15:20. > :15:22.territory in the remote eastern provinces of Afghanistan,

:15:23. > :15:24.driving local people The refugees tell stories

:15:25. > :15:34.of horrific violence. She says IS, Daesh they call it

:15:35. > :15:41.here, attacked her village. I don't know where my

:15:42. > :15:49.father is, she tells us. Rahman Wali's brother was one

:15:50. > :15:52.of more than 100 men IS abducted TRANSLATION: At first we had no idea

:15:53. > :16:00.what happened to him. They said everyone was being held

:16:01. > :16:06.in a small room and IS was torturing Wali recognised his brother Rahman

:16:07. > :16:23.Gul in an Isis propaganda video. The video showed Gul being led

:16:24. > :16:26.with nine other villagers to where a row of bombs

:16:27. > :16:29.had been buried. Each man was forced

:16:30. > :16:32.to sit on a bomb. IS has struck within

:16:33. > :16:41.an hour of Kabul. The police say it's only a matter

:16:42. > :16:45.of time before it attacks the Afghan capital, and the threat isn't just

:16:46. > :16:50.here in Afghanistan. It says Isis is openly fighting

:16:51. > :16:58.the Taliban to create a safe haven in the mountains in

:16:59. > :17:01.the east of the country - potentially a second stronghold

:17:02. > :17:05.from which to launch attacks So how serious a threat

:17:06. > :17:13.is IS in Afghanistan? To answer that, you

:17:14. > :17:17.need to leave Kabul. An IS commander has agreed to talk

:17:18. > :17:23.to an Afghan colleague. This man struggles

:17:24. > :17:33.to assemble his AK-47. You must fight to the

:17:34. > :17:46.bitter end, he says. These are disaffected former Taliban

:17:47. > :17:51.who now want to fight a global jihad The commander says

:17:52. > :17:58.they plan more attacks. TRANSLATION: At the moment,

:17:59. > :18:01.we exist in three provinces In the others, we are waiting

:18:02. > :18:07.for orders from our leader, IS is reckoned to have hundreds,

:18:08. > :18:15.not thousands, of fighters. Not a huge force, but enough

:18:16. > :18:22.to bring mayhem and misery. The Afghan army has

:18:23. > :18:26.struck back against IS. It says IS has little

:18:27. > :18:29.support from locals But the Defence Minister warns that

:18:30. > :18:36.eliminating IS in Afghanistan will require an

:18:37. > :18:40.international response. The key question is from where

:18:41. > :18:45.they are getting all this funding and how they are transferring this

:18:46. > :18:49.funding and how this movement of goods and money and everything

:18:50. > :18:53.else is happening. So that is why Afghanistan alone

:18:54. > :18:57.cannot deal with all these challenges, because it is

:18:58. > :19:01.coming from outside. This isn't the first foreign

:19:02. > :19:07.terrorist organisation to try and establish a base

:19:08. > :19:10.in the mountains of eastern The Tora Bora cave complex

:20:25. > :20:29.to stay away. Cecil Parkinson, one of the most

:20:30. > :20:31.prominent Conservative politicians of the 1980s and a close ally

:20:32. > :20:35.of Margaret Thatcher, Lord Parkinson served in several

:20:36. > :20:43.ministerial departments when Mrs Thatcher won her landslide

:20:44. > :20:47.election victory in 1983. As James Landale reports,

:20:48. > :20:50.Lord Parkinson's career was undermined by a scandal

:20:51. > :20:52.when his affair with His report does contain flash

:20:53. > :20:58.photography from the start. Cecil Parkinson was the charming

:20:59. > :21:02.face of Margaret Thatcher's Government, a friend as much

:21:03. > :21:05.as an ally who flattered her, believed in her and above all

:21:06. > :21:09.helped to win elections. What we do now is going to shake

:21:10. > :21:13.the future for our children. The young businessman was cut

:21:14. > :21:17.from the same cloth as Mrs Thatcher, both self-made, both

:21:18. > :21:20.of humble origins. And in the early 1980s

:21:21. > :21:22.she rewarded him with a seat And in 1983 he paid her back

:21:23. > :21:31.with a thumping majority. But within months of those scenes

:21:32. > :21:33.of triumph here at the old Tory party headquarters,

:21:34. > :21:36.Cecil Parkinson snatched defeat He was out of office

:21:37. > :21:48.and in disgrace. It emerged that he'd

:21:49. > :21:50.been having a long affair with his secretary, Sara Keays,

:21:51. > :21:52.who was now pregnant. At the Tory conference

:21:53. > :21:54.in Blackpool in 1983 he fought But after Keys claimed that he'd

:21:55. > :22:04.broken a promise to marry her, The Right Honourable Cecil Parkinson

:22:05. > :22:08.has tendered his resignation as Secretary of State

:22:09. > :22:10.for Trade and Industry. He was mocked in public

:22:11. > :22:13.but missed in Downing Street. And four years later Mrs Thatcher

:22:14. > :22:16.gave him a second political life as Energy Secretary,

:22:17. > :22:19.with a brief to privatise more national industries,

:22:20. > :22:21.just as years earlier he'd opened up He was part of the great political

:23:14. > :23:16.in Cairo's Tahrir Square, the focal point of

:23:17. > :23:19.the protests of 2011. There's a warning from

:23:20. > :23:24.the new regime that demonstrations will not be tolerated against

:23:25. > :23:26.President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi. The president stands accused

:23:27. > :23:29.of betraying the hopes of those who took to the streets five years

:23:30. > :23:32.ago, as our correspondent In Tahrir Square, a show of devotion

:23:33. > :23:42.to Egypt's latest strongman, The security forces were there

:23:43. > :23:50.in numbers to prevent any new stirrings of unrest

:23:51. > :23:53.in the birthplace of the revolution. The familiar face of

:23:54. > :23:57.a police state on display. The authorities have

:23:58. > :23:59.done their utmost to ensure only supporters of President

:24:00. > :24:03.al-Sisi are here today. In the past two weeks,

:24:04. > :24:06.they have raided about 5000 homes in central Cairo looking

:24:07. > :24:09.for anyone who might be Five years on, protests

:24:10. > :24:15.are virtually banned in Egypt. Many icons of the revolution that

:24:16. > :24:19.took place here in Tahrir Square It was a very different picture

:24:20. > :24:28.in 2011, when people power swept away Hosni Mubarak and

:24:29. > :24:34.freedom was in the air. Some who were in the square then

:24:35. > :24:39.are facing new threats today. Among them, one of Egypt's most

:24:40. > :24:43.respected human rights campaigners. He has already been detained

:24:44. > :24:46.because of a story he wrote How many people do you know

:24:47. > :24:54.who are now in jail? Those who are not are either living

:24:55. > :25:03.in exile or are on the run or counting the days before

:25:04. > :25:08.they land there, like I did. Is it a risk now just doing

:25:09. > :25:12.an interview like this? Doing an interview like this

:25:13. > :25:16.is a risk to both of us. Noor knows the risks

:25:17. > :25:20.here only too well. The student shows me a photo

:25:21. > :25:24.of his time in Tahrir Square Both he and his brother have been

:25:25. > :25:30.detained in recent years. Noor says he himself was held

:25:31. > :25:40.for three months and tortured. TRANSLATION: They started giving me

:25:41. > :25:43.shocks, here and here, They also put out cigarettes

:25:44. > :25:53.on my hand and on my shoulder. I was subjected to a whole day

:25:54. > :25:58.of torture before my interrogation. Back in Tahrir Square,

:25:59. > :26:02.the skies darkened as the revolution There is little trace

:26:03. > :26:09.of the uprising here now. Or of the hopes it brought

:26:10. > :26:17.for a different future. Tennis news, and Johanna Konta has

:26:18. > :26:23.become the first British competitor since 1984 to reach the quarterfinal

:26:24. > :26:27.of a Grand Slam tournament. And with Andy Murray also winning,

:26:28. > :26:30.it means that for the first time in 39 years Britain is represented

:26:31. > :26:34.in the men's and women's quarterfinals of a Grand Slam,

:26:35. > :26:36.as our sports correspondent A place in the quarterfinals

:26:37. > :26:43.and her best ever performance For a player who was ranked 150th

:26:44. > :26:50.in the world just over a year ago I'm just incredibly happy

:26:51. > :26:55.to still be here in the tournament. The fact that it's the quarterfinal

:26:56. > :26:58.of the Australian Open Johanna Konta was carrying the hopes

:26:59. > :27:03.of British women's tennis At first there were nerves

:27:04. > :27:11.as she handed the opening set to her Russian opponent,

:27:12. > :27:13.Ekaterina Makarova, However, Konta's surge

:27:14. > :27:17.through the rankings has coincided And then, after three hours and four

:27:18. > :27:25.minutes of attrition, For Australian tennis,

:27:26. > :27:35.Konta was the one that got away. Born in Sydney to Hungarian parents,

:27:36. > :27:39.she moved to Eastbourne at the age of 14, and became

:27:40. > :27:43.a British citizen in 2012. Her win brings to an

:27:44. > :27:46.end a 32-year wait. The last British woman to reach

:27:47. > :27:50.a grand slam quarterfinal was Jo Durie back in 1984,

:27:51. > :27:54.who beat a 15-year-old Steffi Graf That was seven years

:27:55. > :28:01.before Konta was born. It's great for the game,

:28:02. > :28:04.it's great for British tennis, it's great for the girls' game

:28:05. > :28:07.in Great Britain because we now have somebody in the back end of slams,

:28:08. > :28:10.and that gets them talking Konta will now meet Chinese

:28:11. > :28:15.qualifier Zhang Shuai for a place So far she's gone under the radar

:28:16. > :28:19.in Melbourne but now the world is waking up to the

:28:20. > :28:27.name Johanna Konta. One of the most eagerly-anticipated

:28:28. > :28:31.art exhibitions of recent years opens later this week

:28:32. > :28:33.at the Royal Academy in London. It will bring together some

:28:34. > :28:36.of the world's best-known works, examining the role that gardens have

:28:37. > :28:38.played in the development of art The work of Monet will be

:28:39. > :28:43.the starting point, and the exhibition will include

:28:44. > :28:46.all three panels of the famous water lily work displayed together

:28:47. > :28:49.in public for the first time in Europe, as our arts editor

:28:50. > :29:04.Will Gompertz reports. A vast landscape without land. Or

:29:05. > :29:08.sky. A view not so much from Monet's Japanese bridge but floating

:29:09. > :29:13.somewhere in his famous water garden. You are immersed in and

:29:14. > :29:19.disoriented by the artist's sensory world. Here we have Monet's great

:29:20. > :29:23.Agapanthus Triptych, one of the major works that preoccupied him for

:29:24. > :29:27.the last ten years of his life. Apparently he would sit for long

:29:28. > :29:32.hours almost every day by his water lily Pond, looking at the shifts of

:29:33. > :29:36.light, reflection, the movement of these rafts of water lilies on the

:29:37. > :29:42.surface of the water, and then go away and distil it all in the

:29:43. > :29:47.studio. Monet created gardens to enjoy and paint wherever he lived.

:29:48. > :29:51.He saw himself as an artist gardener, as did his friends, like

:29:52. > :29:56.when well, who depicted him at work. It was when he moved to northern

:29:57. > :30:01.France that he made a garden to equal one of his paintings. He

:30:02. > :30:08.treated the garden as an artwork in itself. Yes, he designed it with an

:30:09. > :30:12.artist's eye. He went around with pots of paint to work out the colour

:30:13. > :30:19.harmonies in the garden. Perhaps not everyone knows what an extraordinary

:30:20. > :30:24.knowledgeable gardener Monet was. He knew a tremendous amount about

:30:25. > :30:31.horticulture and botany. So does this man. How do these paintings

:30:32. > :30:36.make you feel as a gardener? They make me feel like I want to be

:30:37. > :30:43.painting. They are just so beautifully observed. The colour is

:30:44. > :30:47.so rich, being able to get very close to these paintings and see the

:30:48. > :30:54.colour come out of one thing over the next over the next, it's a very

:30:55. > :30:58.similar process to planting. Sometimes there is moments of

:30:59. > :31:05.incandescents. It's marvellous. There are over 120 paintings in this

:31:06. > :31:10.show, made by late 19th and early 20th century avant-garde artists who

:31:11. > :31:14.studied light effects and colour relationships. Matisse and Kandinsky

:31:15. > :31:21.feature, but for me it is Monet's flowers that stand out.

:31:22. > :31:23.Newsnight is coming up over on BBC Two.

:31:24. > :31:32.Is it wrong for Google to try and Payless, we ask Labour's Shadow

:31:33. > :31:35.Chancellor about it in the studio. Here on BBC One, it's time

:31:36. > :31:37.for the news where you are.
