:01:53. > :01:59.Sir George Martin, widely acknowledged to be one
:02:00. > :02:01.of the music industry's most creative talents,
:02:02. > :02:03.the producer of most of The Beatles' hits,
:02:04. > :02:08.Sir Paul McCartney called him the Fifth Beatle and said he'd been
:02:09. > :02:12.Among many worldwide tributes today he was called a 'genius'
:02:13. > :02:14.who transformed the world of studio recording
:02:15. > :02:16.and encouraged musicians to take risks, as our arts editor,
:02:17. > :02:41.Here comes the take. George Martin, in the studio... With The Beatles.
:02:42. > :02:45.They were a band without a record deal who played like an orchestra
:02:46. > :02:51.without a conductor. Until she signed them, shaped them and helped
:02:52. > :02:56.give them a sound. We were a creative team. Always looking for
:02:57. > :03:00.something slightly out of reach. He stretched them, encouraged them. He
:03:01. > :03:07.was their producer, arranger, adviser and, to an extent, their
:03:08. > :03:12.music teacher. George had done no rock 'n' roll when we met him and
:03:13. > :03:17.we'd never been in a studio, so we did a lot of learning together. He
:03:18. > :03:22.had a very great musical knowledge and background. Which he brought to
:03:23. > :03:27.bear. He suggested to Paul McCartney that a string quartet be added to
:03:28. > :03:36.Yesterday. This is it, and he wrote on it at the top here, by Paul
:03:37. > :03:42.McCartney, John Lennon, George Martinez inquire, and Mozart. A
:03:43. > :03:49.reference to the fact that it was a classical piece of music. He also
:03:50. > :03:57.told John Lennon to up the tempo on Please Please Me. We said about
:03:58. > :04:02.doubling the speed and would I like the hear it now? I said to him after
:04:03. > :04:07.the end of the session, you've got your first number one. He was right.
:04:08. > :04:14.George Martin had helped them change the game. His work combined with The
:04:15. > :04:19.Beatles and the engineer busted open the recording studio as giving it
:04:20. > :04:28.the status of a musical instrument in itself. And here they are,
:04:29. > :04:35.em-Rick and Martin, who worked today on Day In A Life He wanted to go
:04:36. > :04:40.from this note to that note over 24 bars in your own time, but you don't
:04:41. > :04:45.listen to the music next to you, or you will get a sense of rhythm. He
:04:46. > :04:49.said, we can't do that. George explained it again to them. There
:04:50. > :04:54.was a bit of an atmosphere developing. There's five tracks of
:04:55. > :05:01.that orchestra. It was the first time George had suggested we linked
:05:02. > :05:04.up to four-track machines. I think George was incredibly important.
:05:05. > :05:08.When you're a band and you have beautiful music like The Beatles had
:05:09. > :05:12.you need someone to be able to get it out there to the world. What
:05:13. > :05:19.George did brilliantly was open that door wide. George Martin was born in
:05:20. > :05:26.London. He trained as a classical musician and in the '40s formed a
:05:27. > :05:31.band with Verdictsor Moore called The Fortune Tellers. The minute you
:05:32. > :05:36.met him he told us what he wanted to do, and if George said we are going
:05:37. > :05:41.to do this, you did it. He was a natural leader. Sir Paul McCartney
:05:42. > :05:47.said today he was like a second father to him. God bless George
:05:48. > :05:51.Martin, were Ringo's words. George Martin was a gentle, humble,
:05:52. > :05:55.cultured man who, with a little help from his friends, The Beatles,
:05:56. > :05:57.became a radical revolutionary. He loved them for giving him the
:05:58. > :06:00.opportunity, and they loved him. The pioneering music producer,
:06:01. > :06:16.Sir George Martin, who's died today We've heard words like pioneering
:06:17. > :06:21.and revolutionary and radical. For me what was truly remarkable about
:06:22. > :06:24.George Martin is he proved that classical music and pop music don't
:06:25. > :06:28.exist in different worlds, that if you bring them together something
:06:29. > :06:34.remarkable can be achieved. It was interesting in that package there to
:06:35. > :06:39.see Paul McCartney citing Mozart, George Martin and himself. In a way
:06:40. > :06:42.The Beatles and George Martin were an odd couple. They came from
:06:43. > :06:51.different worlds. He was an officer in the Royal Navy. He went on to
:06:52. > :06:59.produce comedy albums with The Goonss. These guys were from the
:07:00. > :07:04.north, ir reverent, but when you put them together alchemy was created.
:07:05. > :07:10.Quite a remarkable feat. What he was able to do, introducing them to
:07:11. > :07:14.music they had never heard before. Paul McCartney didn't read music
:07:15. > :07:19.then, doesn't read music now. He opened up their world, to give them
:07:20. > :07:23.a whole new canvas to play with and the result was number one after
:07:24. > :07:25.number one and a catalogue of music that the world will never forget.
:07:26. > :07:30.Will, thank you. Buckingham Palace has made a formal
:07:31. > :07:32.complaint against The Sun newspaper, which printed a story claiming
:07:33. > :07:35.the Queen supported Britain leaving In a rare move, the Palace said it
:07:36. > :07:39.had registered a complaint with the Independent Press
:07:40. > :07:41.Standards Organisation. The report claimed that the Queen
:07:42. > :07:44.had expressed strong Eurosceptic views five years ago to Nick Clegg
:07:45. > :07:47.when he was Deputy Prime Minister. Our royal correspondent,

:08:08. > :08:10.at a state banquet in Berlin This is this morning's Sun headline
:08:11. > :08:20.- Queen backs Brexit. The Sun's story claims that,
:08:21. > :08:23.five years ago, the Queen let rip at Nick Clegg, then
:08:24. > :08:26.Deputy Prime Minister, during a lunch at Windsor Castle,
:08:27. > :08:29.and told him in the presence of several other ministers
:08:30. > :08:31.that she believed the EU was heading Today, Mr Clegg said he had no
:08:32. > :08:38.recollection of such a conversation. I think it's appalling
:08:39. > :08:41.that the people who want to pull the United Kingdom, to drag
:08:42. > :08:44.the United Kingdom out of the European Union are now
:08:45. > :08:47.trying to drag the Queen As for the story in The Sun,
:08:48. > :08:57.it's nonsense, it's not true, The court circular records

:09:21. > :09:26.then confirmation that it was making a formal complaint about The Sun's
:09:27. > :09:29.story to the Independent Press In response, the Sun said,
:09:30. > :09:33."The Sun stands by its story, which was based on two
:09:34. > :09:34.impeccable sources." Well, as ever, we can't be precisely
:09:35. > :09:41.sure but, whatever her thought is, they may well include
:09:42. > :09:51.an element of exasperation. And that's because no-one knows
:09:52. > :09:54.better than the Queen does that one of the principal duties of a
:09:55. > :09:59.constitutional monarch is to steer clear of politics. But we should
:10:00. > :10:03.remember she does ask questions. She makes observations, sometimes quite
:10:04. > :10:08.pointed ones to her Ministers. But when it comes to opinions on major
:10:09. > :10:12.issues, she has, I think, remained pretty punctiliously neutral now for
:10:13. > :10:18.64 years. Officials insist that when it comes to taking sides, there is
:10:19. > :10:22.no question of her doing that in anyway over the EU referendum. Nick,

:13:19. > :13:21.strike by junior doctors is taking its toll
:13:22. > :13:25.on the NHS in England. The 48-hour walkout began at 8

:13:45. > :13:49.forced to abandon plans to relax the Sunday trading laws
:13:50. > :13:52.in England and Wales. It follows this evening's vote
:13:53. > :13:54.in the House of Commons, when a group of Conservative rebels
:13:55. > :13:56.sided with opposition parties, including the SNP,
:13:57. > :13:58.to defeat the plans. Ministers had wanted to give
:13:59. > :14:01.councils the power to allow large shops to open longer
:14:02. > :14:03.than the current six-hour limit, as our political correspondent
:14:04. > :14:08.Vicki Young reports. For 20 years there's been
:14:09. > :14:11.a compromise on the high streets of England and Wales,
:14:12. > :14:14.businesses can trade, customers can shop, but shorter
:14:15. > :14:17.hours means Sunday is different But the Government wanted councils
:14:18. > :14:22.to be allowed to lift those restrictions so shopping centres
:14:23. > :14:25.could compete with online retailers. It's frustrating sometimes the shops
:14:26. > :14:31.can't open early enough and you have to go to a shop, wait for 30 minutes
:14:32. > :14:34.before you're allowed to pay for. I work on Sundays and I find that
:14:35. > :14:38.finishing work at 6.00pm gives me that extra time in the evening
:14:39. > :14:40.to kind of have dinner In Parliament, many Conservative MPs
:14:41. > :14:44.said a more liberal approach In life we all have
:14:45. > :14:51.to find our own balance. If you've got to work,
:14:52. > :14:53.you've got to work. We are all capable of deciding
:14:54. > :14:56.whether we work or shop on a Sunday. Others sided with Labour
:14:57. > :14:59.and the SNP, telling the Minister that people would feel under
:15:00. > :15:03.pressure to work longer hours. Frankly, even God took
:15:04. > :15:12.a rest on the seventh day. Just sit down and rest this

:15:24. > :15:31.fell on deaf ears. After that embarrassing

:15:44. > :15:45.thousands of jobs and, actually, that flexibility
:15:46. > :15:48.for consumers and residents on a Sunday, to have the same rights
:15:49. > :15:51.as they do in Scotland. We have to be very clear about this,

:15:55. > :15:58.at the SNP, accusing them of hypocrisy and of denying English

:24:24. > :24:25.presidential-style news conferences, where he brings a few friends

:26:35. > :26:36.longer than she would have wanted. It highlighted Donald Trump's
:26:37. > :26:40.resilience. Many Republicans hoped he would be brought back
:26:41. > :26:45.down-to-earth last night. But now he's only a few victories away from
:26:46. > :26:49.being unstoppable. Nick, many thanks for the update. Nick Bryant there
:26:50. > :26:55.for us in Detroit. The number of African rhinos
:26:56. > :26:57.being killed by poachers has increased for the sixth
:26:58. > :26:59.year in a row, according At least 1,300 rhinos were killed
:27:00. > :27:05.across Africa in 2015. It's the highest level
:27:06. > :27:07.since the current surge Since then, nearly 6,000 African
:27:08. > :27:10.rhinos have been killed as a result The current rhino population
:27:11. > :27:14.on the continent is now estimated Our science editor,
:27:15. > :27:23.David Shukman, has this report. A desperate attempt
:27:24. > :27:25.to save rhinos from poachers. The start of an extraordinary
:27:26. > :27:27.mission in South Africa to move The scale of the slaughter
:27:28. > :27:31.is so alarming that anything is better, even this,
:27:32. > :27:34.than leaving the animals at risk. There's been a worrying rise
:27:35. > :27:36.in the numbers killed The rhino's horns can be
:27:37. > :27:49.worth more than gold. A massive push to boost patrols,
:27:50. > :27:51.to track down the poachers, a bit of a difference in some areas,
:27:52. > :27:55.but the danger is constant. We have to think where would we be
:27:56. > :27:59.if it hadn't been for the huge We would be I think a lot worse off
:28:00. > :28:06.than we currently are. But there's still a huge amount
:28:07. > :28:08.to do and massive threats. In some countries the
:28:09. > :28:10.situation is catastrophic. In Namibia, where we filmed
:28:11. > :28:12.this rhino last autumn, the killings have quadrupled
:28:13. > :28:14.in the past two years. At the moment, more rhinos are being
:28:15. > :28:17.born than are being killed, but the fear is that a tipping point
:28:18. > :28:26.is fast approaching. These rhinos are safe,
:28:27. > :28:28.at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo but protection is
:28:29. > :28:31.becoming essential. At the current rate of losses,
:28:32. > :28:34.the worse case scenario within about a decade rhinos
:28:35. > :28:37.will only be living in some The blunt truth is that the price
:28:38. > :28:41.of rhino horn is so high, that even the best efforts
:28:42. > :28:44.at conservation are simply no match One radical idea is to cut off
:28:45. > :28:55.the horns before the poachers get there and to flood the market,
:28:56. > :28:58.but that could fuel demand. Another plan is to transport
:28:59. > :29:00.the animals between different countries to improve
:29:01. > :29:02.their chances of breeding A third option is to fit monitoring
:29:03. > :29:10.devices to the rhinos to track where they are, but the poachers
:29:11. > :29:13.are often one step ahead. So they understand
:29:14. > :29:15.the intelligence concept. So we're really dealing with a very
:29:16. > :29:21.more sophisticated criminal element There are several different species
:29:22. > :29:28.of rhino, this one is a northern There are just three
:29:29. > :29:31.of her kind left. For some, extinction

:30:04. > :30:05.if you're Zlatan Ibrahimovic. That's him on the wing,
:30:06. > :30:07.crossing the ball for 3-1 down on aggregate,
