:04:51. > :04:55.into Hillsborough exonerated the fans of the cause was the force's
:04:56. > :05:00.failures. Today, as I have said before, I want to apologise
:05:01. > :05:03.unreservedly... Yesterday, David Crompton repeated the apology but in
:05:04. > :05:08.between, throughout the two-year long inquest, the force's lawyers
:05:09. > :05:12.repeatedly suggested drunk and noncompliant Liverpool fans were

:05:22. > :05:25.retired officers through disgusting slurs around. In the Commons today,
:05:26. > :05:30.the Shadow Home Secretary said South Yorkshire Police had gone back on
:05:31. > :05:33.their apology. If the police had chosen to maintain its apology, this
:05:34. > :05:37.inquest would have been much shorter. But they didn't and they
:05:38. > :05:43.put the families through hell once again. Earlier, the Home Secretary,
:05:44. > :05:47.her voice cracking with emotion, paid tribute to the Hillsborough
:05:48. > :05:51.campaigners. No one should have to endure what the families and
:05:52. > :05:54.survivors have been through. No one should have to suffer the loss of
:05:55. > :05:59.their loved ones through such appalling circumstances. And no one
:06:00. > :06:04.should have to fight, year after year, decade after decade, in search
:06:05. > :06:06.of the truth. South Yorkshire Police today issued yet another apology,
:06:07. > :06:35.defending their legal tactics. Shortly afterwards, Chief Constable
:06:36. > :06:38.David Crompton was suspended by South Yorkshire's Police and Crime
:06:39. > :06:43.Commissioner, who is himself standing for re-election next week.
:06:44. > :06:46.My decision is based on the erosion of public trust and confidence,

:06:51. > :06:53.this lunchtime, along with public calls for the Chief Constable's
:06:54. > :06:59.resignation from a number of quarters, including local MPs. At
:07:00. > :07:03.the vigil in Liverpool, news that David Crompton had cleared his desk
:07:04. > :07:07.was greeted with delight. One victim's daughter reflected on South
:07:08. > :07:11.Yorkshire's tactics at the inquest. Frustration does not really cover
:07:12. > :07:17.it. I can't explain how angry it makes you feel a cause you know it
:07:18. > :07:23.is not the truth, you know it is a pack of absolute lies. -- because
:07:24. > :07:25.you know. Yesterday's inquest verdicts seem to have reenergised
:07:26. > :07:30.the Hillsborough campaign in the city. It is as though the power has
:07:31. > :07:35.shifted, and it has shifted to the people of Liverpool. There is a way
:07:36. > :07:38.to go before prosecutions and despite the unlawful killing
:07:39. > :07:42.decision yesterday, it may not be straightforward. But this is a fight
:07:43. > :07:47.that has never been easy and after 27 years, you can make -- be sure

:09:05. > :09:15.possible offences on the day. The other is examining allegations
:09:16. > :09:17.of a police cover-up afterwards. Those in charge know some families

:21:26. > :21:32.How different would his foreign policy be? Well, this was a very
:21:33. > :21:37.different Donald Trump that we were presented with earlier on today.
:21:38. > :21:41.Gone wild the bombast, he was reading from a carefully written
:21:42. > :21:47.script, with autocue. That phrase, put America first, with of the NIC
:21:48. > :21:52.isolation in America in the 1930s, he said he wanted Nato members to be
:21:53. > :21:55.paying much more for defence, he said he wanted better trade deals,
:21:56. > :21:58.he said he wanted to make friends with Russia and China to reduce
:21:59. > :22:02.tensions, and he said he would go after so-called Islamic State. We
:22:03. > :22:07.got to the end of the speech and we knew what he wanted, but Howell,
:22:08. > :22:11.which was your original question, we are still unclear on. It was very
:22:12. > :22:16.short on detail and specifics. And one other thing - his signature
:22:17. > :22:20.foreign policy, that of building a wall between the US and Mexico,
:22:21. > :22:24.there was not a single mention of it. Perhaps Donald Trump is starting
:22:25. > :22:29.to row back from some of his more controversial positions.
:22:30. > :22:32.The threat to elephants in Africa from the illegal trade in ivory
:22:33. > :22:34.has never been greater, fuelled by corruption
:22:35. > :22:38.Every year, between 30,000 and 40,000 elephants are being killed,
:22:39. > :22:41.and there are thought to be only 400,000 left.
:22:42. > :22:45.Most of the ivory is being trafficked out
:22:46. > :22:52.In the first of a series of special reports, our Africa correspondent
:22:53. > :22:55.Alastair Leithead in Kenya has been following the smuggling trail.
:22:56. > :22:58.For how much longer will elephants roam beneath the slopes
:22:59. > :23:04.These giants of the natural world are being poached so fast
:23:05. > :23:08.that in a generation, most could be gone,
:23:09. > :23:13.as the greed for ivory drives their slaughter across Africa.

:23:26. > :23:41.We are close to the Tsavo national parks here in Kenya,

:23:45. > :23:51.They took us to a secluded spot and asked for complete anonymity.

:24:12. > :24:13.Kenya has reduced poaching recently, but Master says it's
:24:14. > :24:28.And once we sell the tusks, we give them the money.
:24:29. > :24:31.Do you feel any regret for the fact that you're killing these animals
:24:32. > :24:40.that are endangered? I don't regret it.
:24:41. > :24:43.not just from Kenya but from across Africa.
:24:44. > :24:45.We spoke to a shipping agent who helped traffic tusks
:24:46. > :24:53.So how much is it to smuggle a consignment of ivory?
:24:54. > :24:56.TRANSLATION: $10,000 is the minimum, because it's not just one
:24:57. > :25:05.There are security guys, officials, even in my company
:25:06. > :25:09.But the authorities are fighting back.
:25:10. > :25:14.Ivory dogs, trained to sniff out even the smallest bangle.
:25:15. > :25:20.They recently found more than 64 kilos of tusks in air freight.
:25:21. > :25:24.In countries where tourism funds conservation, there's more

:25:38. > :25:42.In Northern Ireland, parties are campaigning to win seats
:25:43. > :25:47.The Democratic Unionists have warned that if Sinn Fein were to overtake
:25:48. > :25:50.them to become the biggest party, it would lead to former IRA man
:25:51. > :25:52.Martin McGuinness becoming First Minister.
:25:53. > :25:57.Here's our Ireland correspondent Chris Buckler.
:25:58. > :26:00.The battle lines of elections in Northern Ireland were drawn a long
:26:01. > :26:05.Yet power-sharing relies on traditional enemies working
:26:06. > :26:11.World-renowned artist Colin Davidson painted this portrait
:26:12. > :26:15.of the late Ian Paisley and he's working on another of Martin
:26:16. > :26:21.McGuiness, to commemorate their time as First and Deputy First Ministers.
:26:22. > :26:25.But the potential of a former IRA leader taking the top job is
:26:26. > :26:29.worrying the party that Dr Paisley founded.
:26:30. > :26:31.The choice is between myself or Martin McGuiness.
:26:32. > :26:34.What I'm saying to people is, you should make the right choice and
:26:35. > :26:36.make sure that I'm the First Minister.
:26:37. > :26:40.But by throwing out that question, you put out the possibility of
:26:41. > :26:41.Martin McGuiness being First Minister.
:26:42. > :26:45.Would you serve in that executive?
:26:46. > :26:48.That is a possibility that I haven't put across in my mind yet.
:26:49. > :26:51.But it is a sign that the political landscape hasn't totally changed.
:26:52. > :26:55.Despite working together in government, Republicans and
:26:56. > :26:57.Unionists could not be called faithful friends.
:26:58. > :27:01.There are some very positive, reasonable and
:27:02. > :27:03.constructive politicians within the DUP but there are also
:27:04. > :27:08.others within the DUP who are sectarian, and anti-Irish.
:27:09. > :27:11.But only months after it looked like Stormont
:27:12. > :27:14.was melting down, there is a certain youthful
:27:15. > :27:17.optimism from the other nationalist party, the SDLP.
:27:18. > :27:21.I don't believe there is any uncertainty in Stormont.
:27:22. > :27:23.People have now accepted we are going to have an
:27:24. > :27:27.What I want is one that actually works.
:27:28. > :27:29.This isn't an election where the focus has been
:27:30. > :27:34.Perhaps it is a sign that Northern Ireland's
:27:35. > :27:39.The debate has instead been about education, the economy and the
:27:40. > :27:45.The divides between the parties have been most obvious
:27:46. > :27:47.on what are sometimes called the moral issues.
:27:48. > :27:49.The Ulster Unionists are aiming to take votes from the
:27:50. > :27:53.DUP by appearing more liberal on issues like abortion and same-sex
:27:54. > :27:58.If you are against same-sex marriage, you are on the wrong
:27:59. > :28:03.That doesn't mean you are wrong to hold that belief
:28:04. > :28:05.but I do believe that time will show that
:28:06. > :28:08.same-sex marriage will come to Northern Ireland.
:28:09. > :28:12.The challenge for the Alliance, the only cross-community
:28:13. > :28:15.party in the Stormont executive, is to get households to
:28:16. > :28:19.break the pattern of voting for unionists or nationalists.
:28:20. > :28:23.There's a consistent 10-11% of the population
:28:24. > :28:25.that votes for parties other than unionists or nationalists.
:28:26. > :28:30.When you look at the division this society has had
:28:31. > :28:33.and compare with other societies around the world, that is actually
:28:34. > :28:36.But the colours of orange and green that
:28:37. > :28:40.represent unionism and nationalism still dominate politics here.
:28:41. > :28:42.That means power-sharing requires some
:28:43. > :28:56.Tens of thousands of people have gathered on the streets of Liverpool
:28:57. > :28:58.to remember the 96 fans killed in the Hillsborough disaster.
:28:59. > :29:05.Our correspondent Jeremy Cooke was there with the family
:29:06. > :29:10.It was in the streets of Merseyside that the foundations were laid
:29:11. > :29:18.In homes like Donna's, where she has campaigned for decades
:29:19. > :29:21.for truth and justice in the name of her brother, Paul Carlile.
:29:22. > :29:26.I could not stop fighting for Hillsborough and for
:29:27. > :29:29.I just wanted everyone to know what they did.
:29:30. > :29:31.The Hillsborough tragedy took lives and changed lives
:29:32. > :29:37.All his life, Richard has known his mum as a campaigner.
:29:38. > :29:41.Crying, she was happy, you could tell that there
:29:42. > :29:44.was a whole range of emotions in her voice.
:29:45. > :29:47.I was just like, as soon as she came in and seen me,
:29:48. > :29:49.she just squeezed me, gave me the biggest hug
:29:50. > :29:53.It was a line of questioning he was aware of...
:29:54. > :29:58.The news keeps coming with the suspension of South
:29:59. > :30:00.Yorkshire Chief Constable David Crompton.
:30:01. > :30:04.That is what we have wanted, accountability.
:30:05. > :30:12.The family is on the move, bound for the memorial service
:30:13. > :30:17.Three generations, supporting each other.
:30:18. > :30:20.I really feel like worried for them because I'm doing my communion
:30:21. > :30:24.and I've been lighting candles for them, so they would actually,

:30:36. > :30:46.You are feeling happy and then you think, "Well,
:30:47. > :31:02.This family is just one of so many touched by the Hillsborough tragedy.
:31:03. > :31:06.And they stood, as they always have stood, shoulder to shoulder.
:31:07. > :31:14.Feeling the support of their city, and finally, the comfort
:31:15. > :31:21.Instead of deep sadness, like it normally is, it was pride.
:31:22. > :31:24.I miss him terribly, you know, and that pain of losing him is never
:31:25. > :31:33.But I am proud that we fought for him the way we did.
:31:34. > :31:40.Well, that's it from us on the day that Liverpool honoured the 96
:31:41. > :31:46.Hillsborough victims and paid tribute to their families,
:31:47. > :31:50.who have fought for truth and justice for so long.
