:00:36. > :00:38.said he was taking steps to stop people hiding stolen wealth

:00:39. > :00:46.One of the steps we're taking to make sure that foreign companies

:00:47. > :00:50.that own UK property have to declare who the beneficial owner is,

:00:51. > :00:54.will be one of the ways we make sure that plundered money from African

:01:43. > :02:04.but relegate Newcastle and Norwich in the process.

:02:05. > :02:12.President Buhari of Nigeria, whose country was described

:02:13. > :02:17.as fantastically corrupt by David Cameron, has hit back today

:02:18. > :02:20.and suggested that Britain is also a haven for corrupt money.

:02:21. > :02:24.He urged the UK to return billions of pounds of assets stolen

:02:25. > :02:26.by Nigerian officials who fled to Britain.

:02:27. > :02:30.During the day, Mr Cameron was asked what he was doing to stop the London

:02:31. > :02:33.property market being used to hide stolen wealth?

:02:34. > :02:38.President Buhari has been speaking to my colleague Clive Myrie.

:02:39. > :02:41.Mr President, has David Cameron insulted Nigeria?

:02:42. > :02:44.President Buhari arrived in London with the kind of billing unheard

:02:45. > :02:48.of for a foreign guest on an official visit.

:02:49. > :02:51.His country's accused of being fantastically corrupt

:02:52. > :02:58.The President didn't mind the candour, he just wants help

:02:59. > :03:00.and the return of Nigerian money stolen by corrupt officials

:03:01. > :03:07.I am not going to demand any apology from anybody.

:03:08. > :03:11.What I am demanding is the return of assets.

:03:12. > :03:15.Some of those stolen assets end up in London

:03:16. > :03:23.and while the Prime Minister's assessment was brutal...

:03:24. > :03:26....the President understood the comments.

:03:27. > :03:34.Why should I ask him to apologise for telling the truth?

:03:35. > :03:37.I can't pretend that Nigeria is not corrupt, that there was no

:03:38. > :03:46.London and Nigeria have been linked by corruption for years.

:03:47. > :03:48.This man, James Ibori, the governor of an oil

:03:49. > :03:53.rich Nigerian state, was jailed for 13 years

:03:54. > :03:56.at Southwark Crown Court in 2012 for money-laundering and corruption.

:03:57. > :03:59.He had hidden a fortune in London, buying property and flash cars.

:04:00. > :04:01.The fraud on his own people was worth ?50 million and it's

:04:02. > :04:04.estimated others in Nigeria's greedy ruling elite have laundered billions

:04:05. > :04:10.In the Commons, Mr Cameron made light of yesterday's gaffe.

:04:11. > :04:12.Well, first of all, I better check the microphone

:04:13. > :04:17.is on before speaking, it's probably a good idea.

:04:18. > :04:20.But he was pressed to more vigorously help President Buhari.

:04:21. > :04:23.Has the Prime Minister read the appeals from Nigerian

:04:24. > :04:26.campaigners who say, our efforts are sadly undermined

:04:27. > :04:29.if countries such as your own are welcoming our corrupt

:04:30. > :04:34.to hide their ill-gotten gains in your luxury homes,

:04:35. > :04:37.department stores, car dealerships, private schools, and anywhere else

:04:38. > :04:43.that will accept their cash with no questions asked?

:04:44. > :04:46.One of the steps we're taking to make sure that foreign companies

:04:47. > :04:51.that own UK property have to declare who the beneficial owner is will be

:04:52. > :04:55.one of the ways we make sure that plundered money from African

:04:56. > :05:01.It's Nigerian's ordinary citizens who are losing out.

:05:02. > :05:05.This is an oil rich nation, yet a third of the population

:05:06. > :05:10.The corruption taints all walks of life.

:05:11. > :05:13.When I visited last year our driver was asked for a bribe

:05:14. > :05:23.The police threatened a hefty parking fine if he didn't pay.

:05:24. > :05:29.From the lower levels, everyday to top level managers,

:05:30. > :05:36.The young and old are dying of corruption daily.

:05:37. > :05:41.You can't estimate how much we need to stop corruption in Nigeria.

:05:42. > :05:45.President Buhari and his people are asking for the world's

:05:46. > :05:52.What David Cameron decides to do in London could change many lives,

:05:53. > :05:59.Our diplomatic correspondent James Landale is in Downing

:06:00. > :07:24.The threat level from Northern Ireland-related terrorism

:07:25. > :07:26.on the British mainland has been raised from moderate

:07:27. > :07:29.It means the security services believe an attack is

:07:30. > :07:33.Police say there's a real and serious threat from dissident

:07:34. > :07:36.republicans, as our Ireland correspondent Chris Buckler reports.

:07:37. > :07:38.The threat of violence has never left the streets

:07:39. > :07:45.It was only two months ago that the prison officer Adrian Ismay

:07:46. > :07:50.died after a bomb exploded into his van in Belfast.

:07:51. > :07:55.And in recent months there have been other attacks linked

:07:56. > :08:00.to dissident republican paramilitaries.

:08:01. > :08:02.There are now concerns that they will attempt

:08:03. > :08:05.to take their campaign of violence to other parts of the UK.

:08:06. > :08:07.We've seen the murderous capability of dissident republicans

:08:08. > :08:09.in Northern Ireland but, if anything, I suspect this change

:08:10. > :08:12.of threat level indicates a rise in their capacity and capability

:08:13. > :08:18.in mainland GB, and that is something that causes concern.

:08:19. > :08:21.The threat level for international terrorism in the UK

:08:22. > :08:27.is currently at severe, meaning an attack is highly likely.

:08:28. > :08:32.Terrorism linked to Irish dissidents is classified separately.

:08:33. > :08:35.The threat of an attack by Republicans in Northern Ireland

:08:36. > :08:38.is also severe, but in mainland Britain, until today,

:08:39. > :08:41.it was judged by MI5 to be moderate, that an attack

:08:42. > :08:45.Now it has been raised to substantial, which means

:08:46. > :08:52.It's 15 years since the last serious campaign of violence

:08:53. > :08:56.Among the attacks was this bombing at the BBC's

:08:57. > :09:03.And this former Deputy Chief Constable says there are indications

:09:04. > :09:06.that dissidents again have access to explosives.

:09:07. > :09:09.They have deployed a number of undercar booby-traps.

:09:10. > :09:13.It looks as though those were made with Semtex,

:09:14. > :09:16.possibly from old IRA stocks that were decommissioned.

:09:17. > :09:20.They have shown more sophistication in types and frequency of attacks

:09:21. > :09:26.Senior officers had warned that dissidents were planning attacks

:09:27. > :09:29.to coincide with the centenary of the Easter Rising,

:09:30. > :09:32.an historic rebellion against British rule in Ireland.

:09:33. > :09:34.And they are worried in particular about one group

:09:35. > :09:41.The threat from Isis and Al-Qaeda is much

:09:42. > :09:44.higher on the mainland, but, of course, all this does

:09:45. > :09:50.is take away some resources to focus on the threat from the IRA.

:09:51. > :09:53.The truth is the threat from republican paramilitaries never

:09:54. > :09:58.went away, but the raising of the threat level is a reminder

:09:59. > :10:02.to police forces in Britain in particular that there

:10:03. > :10:05.are still people intent on wrecking years of political progress

:10:06. > :10:14.More than 90 people are reported to have been killed in a series

:10:15. > :10:19.The deadliest was in a market in a mainly Shia area

:10:20. > :10:23.The so-called Islamic State group said it was behind that bombing

:10:24. > :10:25.in Sadr City and two further suicide attacks in other parts

:10:26. > :10:32.Our diplomatic correspondent, Paul Adams, reports.

:10:33. > :10:35.Carnage in Sadr City, scenes reminiscent of the darkest

:10:36. > :10:42.This vast, mainly Shi'ite district, the scene of so many atrocities,

:10:43. > :10:47.witnessing the worst attack on the capital in months.

:10:48. > :10:52.A pick-up truck, explosives hidden under fruit and vegetables,

:10:53. > :10:54.detonating in the midst of a busy market.

:10:55. > :10:57.So-called Islamic State said it carried out all today's attacks

:10:58. > :11:01.and that this one was aimed at Shi'ite militiamen

:11:02. > :11:05.but many of the victims were women and children.

:11:06. > :11:08.TRANSLATION: Young people want to live here but security

:11:09. > :11:11.They say they have metal detectors to detect explosives

:11:12. > :11:15.How can car bombs like this go through checkpoints?

:11:16. > :11:17.TRANSLATION: Many people were killed and you can see blood everywhere.

:11:18. > :11:20.They were poor people who were here to earn their living.

:11:21. > :11:26.Can this corrupt Government tell us why?

:11:27. > :11:28.Since the fall of Saddam Hussein, successive Iraqi governments

:11:29. > :11:34.have failed to tackle the problem of corruption.

:11:35. > :11:36.Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki promised to do something about it

:11:37. > :11:41.but attacked and imprisoned those who complained.

:11:42. > :11:44.The army was so corrupt and sectarian that when so-called

:11:45. > :11:46.Islamic State seized huge swathes of the country

:11:47. > :11:52.Under a new Prime Minister, Haider al-Abadi, Government

:11:53. > :11:56.forces have slowly been clawing territory back.

:11:57. > :12:00.But corruption has persisted and popular anger about it has mounted.

:12:01. > :12:03.At the end of April, crowds loyal to the country's most

:12:04. > :12:06.influential Shi'ite cleric stormed the heavily fortified Green Zone

:12:07. > :12:13.As they condemned the latest violence by Islamic State,

:12:14. > :12:15.American officials seemed to be urging the country's

:12:16. > :12:23.The recent spate of attacks by Daesh is a latest reminder of the danger

:12:24. > :12:26.this group poses to all Iraqis and the importance of Iraqi leaders

:12:27. > :12:30.from all communities working together to quickly resolve

:12:31. > :12:34.differences so the progress made against Daesh continues.

:12:35. > :12:36.The Government today said it had retaken two-thirds of

:12:37. > :12:39.the territory it lost to Islamic State two years ago.

:12:40. > :12:42.But even if it is on the back foot, IS is still capable

:12:43. > :12:47.of striking fear far beyond the territory it controls.

:12:48. > :12:55.There are just six weeks to go to the referendum on Britain's

:12:56. > :13:00.And today both sides stepped up their campaigns.

:13:01. > :13:03.Boris Johnson launched the Vote Leave bus in Cornwall,

:13:04. > :13:06.while Gordon Brown, the former Prime Minister,

:13:07. > :13:09.added his voice to the calls to remain in the EU.

:13:10. > :13:11.In a moment our political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, reports

:13:12. > :13:14.on the Gordon Brown intervention, but first our deputy political

:13:15. > :13:20.editor, John Pienaar, reports on his day with Boris Johnson.

:13:21. > :13:26.A crowd that loves you, or think they do, and a big message

:13:27. > :13:29.from the Leave campaign's most famous face - vote to quit the EU.

:13:30. > :13:31.Thank you very much for coming along, everybody.

:13:32. > :13:36.It doesn't look too stage-managed, but it is.

:13:37. > :13:40.Try to raise a pro-EU, anti-Tory poster, and see what happens.

:13:41. > :13:46.You will be coming out on June the 23rd?

:13:47. > :13:50.This stuff's the staple diet of the big campaign,

:13:51. > :14:00.Not always, not everywhere, but Boris Johnson is box office.

:14:01. > :14:03.What people want most, though, are facts, objective truth -

:14:04. > :14:13.Back on the campaign bus - German-made, by the way -

:14:14. > :14:16.and Labour's Gisela Stuart onside, he flatly denied the Leave

:14:17. > :14:18.vote would hit the pound and share prices.

:14:19. > :14:20.A lot of people will be interested in this,

:14:21. > :14:23.and they would like an answer - a straight one, if possible...

:14:24. > :14:26.Are you saying there would be no reaction on the markets?

:14:27. > :14:28.I think it might be a very positive reaction.

:14:29. > :14:31.Do you really believe the pound would not fall, as it has

:14:32. > :14:36.May I remind you that everybody said the pound would fall as a result

:14:37. > :14:39.of us leaving the ERM, on the contrary, the pound

:14:40. > :14:40.strengthened and interest rates were cut.

:14:41. > :14:43.And with all the talk of corruption in the air?

:14:44. > :14:46.I would say that the EU budget is endemically corrupt.

:14:47. > :14:49.I think it is something that is in the nature of the beast

:14:50. > :14:54.Just because it's collective funding, nobody has any

:14:55. > :14:56.sense of particular, individual, national

:14:57. > :15:00.responsibility for it, so a lot of it gets wasted.

:15:01. > :15:09.He looks like he's winning support, but it doesn't mean he always is.

:15:10. > :15:11.You know Boris Johnson, he's a bit of a character?

:15:12. > :15:15.But he's not going to help you make your mind

:15:16. > :15:19.Like you said, he's a very charismatic individual,

:15:20. > :15:21.I think we all can say that, can't we?

:15:22. > :15:24.But, when it comes down to it, a place like Cornwall needs to think

:15:25. > :15:26.properly and needs to think about how important

:15:27. > :15:30.I'm a big Boris fan, but for his personality.

:15:31. > :15:32.I'm not sure about his politics and about leaving Europe.

:15:33. > :15:41.Tell me this, is Boris going to help you make up your mind

:15:42. > :15:46.He will help make my mind more determined to vote Out.

:15:47. > :15:50.Not very original, politicians pulling pints, but the

:15:51. > :15:54.They rather like Boris Johnson, too, but this referendum is real.

:15:55. > :15:57.So how should we look at the man who is the Leave campaign's biggest

:15:58. > :16:00.asset and who just may also be Britain's

:16:01. > :16:15.It is six years since Gordon Brown was in charge.

:16:16. > :16:18.In power, his biggest call was to keep us out of

:16:19. > :16:21.the European Union's biggest project, joining the euro.

:16:22. > :16:24.But if Labour's campaign for In has been short on gusto,

:16:25. > :16:30.We should be a leader in Europe, not simply a member.

:16:31. > :16:33.We should not be fully out and we should not be half out.

:16:34. > :16:39.There have been nerves about getting Labour voters involved.

:16:40. > :16:41.Reluctant support for the European Union might not get

:16:42. > :16:46.But beyond the economics, the former Prime Minister is using different

:16:47. > :16:51.We British have historically been outward looking, not inward looking.

:16:52. > :16:54.We've not seen the Channel as some sort of moat.

:16:55. > :16:59.What sense does it make if we think of ourselves in this way,

:17:00. > :17:01.that we break off relations with our nearest neighbours?

:17:02. > :17:03.Mr Brown's fiery last-minute political sermons did galvanise

:17:04. > :17:15.When the independence referendum looked close and tight,

:17:16. > :17:24.But will voters around the UK listen to him now?

:17:25. > :17:28.I opposed joining the euro and I stood out against some

:17:29. > :17:31.of my colleagues on that because I thought that

:17:32. > :17:36.I'm not going to support Europe right or wrong.

:17:37. > :17:38.I'm going to support European cooperation where it is in Britain's

:17:39. > :17:41.national interest and I will oppose it if I think it is not

:17:42. > :17:46.When you look at the campaign right now that is trying

:17:47. > :17:48.to persuade people to stay, do you see the leadership that

:17:49. > :17:54.I think we've had a phoney war and we are now into

:17:55. > :17:58.You've got six weeks to go and I think the positive message I'm

:17:59. > :18:00.putting forward has got a way of getting across particularly

:18:01. > :18:02.to people that did not vote Conservative.

:18:03. > :18:05.The implication of you coming forward to make this case is that

:18:06. > :18:08.you are not convinced that Labour has been showing the leadership that

:18:09. > :18:11.Are you satisfied with how engaged Jeremy Corbyn has been?

:18:12. > :18:13.I can make a contribution, but when people realise

:18:14. > :18:16.that the Labour Party is fully behind staying

:18:17. > :18:19.in the European Union, I think the Labour voters who have

:18:20. > :18:23.historically in the last 20 or 30 years supported Europe,

:18:24. > :18:26.will come out to vote in favour of Europe.

:18:27. > :18:29.He may be long gone from the biggest job, but in the next

:18:30. > :18:32.few weeks he will be on our screens and in this debate.

:18:33. > :18:34.Gordon Brown always did want to make completely sure

:18:35. > :18:44.Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Westminster.

:18:45. > :18:47.The government White Paper on the future of the BBC will be

:18:48. > :18:49.published tomorrow and it's expected to shape the BBC's governance,

:18:50. > :18:52.finances, and range of activities, for the coming decade.

:18:53. > :18:54.Some of the details are emerging ahead of publication.

:18:55. > :19:01.Our media correspondent, David Sillito, is here.

:19:02. > :19:10.What are you learning? Months of negotiation and at last some light.

:19:11. > :19:15.The BBC trust that oversees the BBC almost certain is going to go. If

:19:16. > :19:19.you want to complain about impartiality or accuracy in future

:19:20. > :19:23.you will go to the government regulator, Ofcom. The day-to-day

:19:24. > :19:27.running, they will be a new board but how much those directors will be

:19:28. > :19:31.appointed by the government? Still some debate on that but what is

:19:32. > :19:37.interesting other things not appear in the White Paper. No sign of top

:19:38. > :19:41.slicing, giving money away to rival broadcasters. No mention of meddling

:19:42. > :19:47.in the schedules, telling the BBC when it can or can't put on Strictly

:19:48. > :19:52.Come Dancing. But a change overpaid. If you are a manager, all your pay

:19:53. > :20:00.details are public but not if you are a start but in the future,

:20:01. > :20:05.anybody paid more than -- more than 400 5000 -- 400 ?50,000.

:20:06. > :20:10.Members of the National Assembly for Wales elected last week have

:20:11. > :20:13.failed to agree on who should be First Minister for

:20:14. > :20:17.Ever since the Assembly was created, the post has been held

:20:18. > :20:21.The proposed election today of Carwyn Jones, the First Minister

:20:22. > :20:23.since 2009, was blocked by a combination of Plaid Cymru,

:20:24. > :20:30.Plaid Cymru nominated its leader, Leanne Wood, for First Minister.

:20:31. > :20:32.The result was a tie and the deadlock looks set

:20:33. > :20:42.In Brazil, senators are debating whether the president,

:20:43. > :20:46.Dilma Rousseff, should face a full impeachment trial.

:20:47. > :20:50.If a simple majority votes in favour, as is expected,

:20:51. > :20:52.she will be automatically suspended for six months.

:20:53. > :20:54.The president is accused of illegally manipulating finances

:20:55. > :21:05.Moves to force the president from office have divided Brazil.

:21:06. > :21:15.We can join our correspondent Wyre Davies in the capital, Brasilia.

:21:16. > :21:21.Brazil is deeply divided, the government's opponents say this is a

:21:22. > :21:26.day of hope but these borders say it is the day democracy died. At the

:21:27. > :21:29.centre of it all, the country's first female president, about be

:21:30. > :21:32.ceremoniously suspended in what she says is a coup d'etat.

:21:33. > :21:34.The final hours before Brazil's Senate began

:21:35. > :21:35.a debate on the future of the country's

:21:53. > :21:56.but is destined to play no official role in the Games themselves.

:22:01. > :22:05.Facing humiliation but still defiant, in a rare sit-down

:22:06. > :22:08.interview, Dilma Rousseff told me the accusations

:22:09. > :22:11.against her were baseless and that she was the victim

:22:12. > :22:18.of a judicial coup by her political enemies.

:22:19. > :22:20.TRANSLATION: We will keep fighting to come back

:22:21. > :22:23.to government if the impeachment request is accepted.

:22:24. > :22:26.What we will do is to resist, resist and resist.

:22:27. > :22:34.And fight to ensure that we will come out victorious.

:22:35. > :22:37.But with the economy in recession and the government in the grip

:22:38. > :22:42.of a huge corruption scandal, there is nationwide discontent.

:22:43. > :22:45.Dilma Rousseff's popularity has fallen to an all-time low.

:22:46. > :22:49.Reason enough for these senators today to be supporting calls

:22:50. > :22:51.for the President's impeachment and her immediate

:22:52. > :22:59.All things will be good for us because we have

:23:00. > :23:03.This is the question, and we need to solve this

:23:04. > :23:11.This long, drawn-out, divisive process is being played out

:23:12. > :23:15.in the full glare of the media and the consensus is that it has

:23:40. > :23:41.Saudi Arabia's state oil company has opened its door to Western

:23:42. > :23:44.journalists ahead of a massive share flotation which would confirm

:23:45. > :23:49.its place as the world's most valuable company.

:23:50. > :23:52.Saudi Aramco is worth an estimated 2 trillion dollars -

:23:53. > :23:55.four times bigger than its nearest corporate rival, Apple.

:23:56. > :23:58.It produces over 10 million barrels of oil a day -

:23:59. > :24:02.Saudi Arabia is dependent on it for 90% of its revenue,

:24:03. > :24:05.but the kingdom's rulers plan to use the money from the flotation

:24:06. > :24:10.Our business editor, Simon Jack, reports

:24:11. > :24:20.The temperature is still about 43 Celsius or about 109 Fahrenheit.

:24:21. > :24:24.One in every eight barrels of crude oil comes from underneath

:24:25. > :24:30.This single plant produces more than the entire North Sea.

:24:31. > :24:33.It's rare to be invited here but the state-owned oil

:24:34. > :24:36.company and its chief executive, Amin Nasser,

:24:37. > :24:44.It's offering up a slice of the world's most valuable company

:24:45. > :24:49.to try to encourage future foreign investment in other industries.

:24:50. > :24:52.This is Shaybah, a south-eastern outpost of Aramco's sprawling

:24:53. > :24:55.empire, which they now want to sell a slice

:24:56. > :25:02.Do they want to sell the family silver, change the oil regime

:25:03. > :25:08.and strategy and diversify the Saudi economy after all these years?

:25:09. > :25:11.I think it is timely and overdue to identify new resources,

:25:12. > :25:13.rely more on investment for additional streams

:25:14. > :25:23.Is that because of the arrival of US shale?

:25:24. > :25:25.Is it because we are looking at a future with fewer hydrocarbons?

:25:26. > :25:31.Are you worried that you have so much of the stuff in the ground

:25:32. > :25:33.that one day you won't be able to sell it?

:25:34. > :25:38.Yes, there are more energy resources coming, electric car, renewables,

:25:39. > :25:40.but they are starting from a small base, there is still

:25:41. > :25:50.However, oil will continue to play a major part for the long term.

:25:51. > :25:53.Near Aramco's headquarters in Dhahran, people agreed that

:25:54. > :26:03.They graduated and have degrees but they stay at home.

:26:04. > :26:06.And there are older men like us who are retired,

:26:07. > :26:12.God willing, I want a job and a shop and to get

:26:13. > :26:16.And later, after I retire, I want my kids to be comfortable

:26:17. > :26:22.Make no mistake, diversifying does not mean producing less oil.

:26:23. > :26:26.In fact, Aramco said it would probably produce more this

:26:27. > :26:30.year than last, but why, when it pushes global prices down?

:26:31. > :26:33.It doesn't, as it were, matter whether they produce

:26:34. > :26:35.them at low prices today because they are not saving

:26:36. > :26:39.them up, as it were, for high prices tomorrow.

:26:40. > :26:42.They continue to produce regardless of the price because,

:26:43. > :26:48.in effect, you could regard their reserves as infinite.

:26:49. > :26:50.So, no relief in sight for competitors like the North Sea.

:26:51. > :26:53.The oil beneath the desert will keep on coming.

:26:54. > :27:03.Football, and it's been a crucial evening for teams struggling

:27:04. > :27:11.Sunderland have saved themselves, and ensured the relegation of local

:27:12. > :27:13.rivals Newcastle and also Norwich, with a 3-0 win

:27:14. > :27:19.Our correspondent Andy Swiss has been watching the action.

:27:20. > :27:21.Even for Sunderland's most dogged supporters,

:27:22. > :27:24.there has not been much to smile about this season, but they swarmed

:27:25. > :27:29.the Stadium of Light with a double incentive.

:27:30. > :27:32.Victory over Everton would not just secure their safety, it

:27:33. > :27:36.would relegate their local rivals, Newcastle.

:27:37. > :27:38.And if those neighbours were watching on nervously,

:27:39. > :27:44.First, Patrick van Aanholt eased the tension with

:27:45. > :27:51.And very soon it was the Stadium of Delight.

:27:52. > :27:53.Lamine Kone lashing home a second before the break and sending

:27:54. > :28:02.And, come the second half, their joy and Newcastle's

:28:03. > :28:10.Once Kone had made it 3-0, the party was in full swing

:28:11. > :28:15.and the final whistle brought relief and release.

:28:16. > :28:17.While their fiercest rivals plummet through the Premier League trapdoor,

:28:18. > :28:27.Sunderland have, once again, pulled off the great escape.

:28:28. > :28:34.A night of high emotions here in the north-east, delight for Sunderland

:28:35. > :28:39.but what about Newcastle? They have spent more than ?80 million on new

:28:40. > :28:44.players in the last year and yet they are down. So our Norwich City

:28:45. > :28:48.despite winning tonight. Grim night for those teams but here in

:28:49. > :28:49.Sunderland you sense that the celebrations are only just

:28:50. > :28:54.beginning. Thank you, Andy. The Brighton Festival, England's

:28:55. > :28:56.largest international arts festival, To mark the event, the musician

:28:57. > :28:59.and performance artist Laurie Anderson has been appointed

:29:00. > :29:02.guest creative director. The fesitval programme features

:29:03. > :29:07.everything from LED street sculptures and Shakespeare

:29:08. > :29:10.to Anderson's own events which include the British premiere

:29:11. > :29:13.of her Music for Dogs. The concert was specially designed

:29:14. > :29:17.for canine ears so our arts editor, Will Gompertz, took his dog Jumble

:29:18. > :29:24.along to check it out. These dogs thought they were going

:29:25. > :29:29.for a walk in the park, but were taken to the amphitheatre

:29:30. > :29:35.instead, for a concert for canines. I took Jumble, my four-legged

:29:36. > :29:38.friend, to see what he made The veteran American artist

:29:39. > :29:50.and musician whose project this is. There were some bits,

:29:51. > :29:57.the thundery bits, that And the dogs at the end,

:29:58. > :30:08.when you make them all bark and cry,

:30:09. > :30:09.what's that all about? Well, I think they'd been ready

:30:10. > :30:14.polite the whole time, it's normal to express yourself

:30:15. > :30:19.at the end of a show. If you don't know your work, Laurie,

:30:20. > :30:22.and you don't know you, And since, as an artist,

:30:38. > :30:51.prominance in the early 80s when, to her complete surprise,

:30:52. > :30:53.an experimental sonic piece she had made as an art project suddenly

:30:54. > :30:55.became a global pop sensation. I didn't even know what the charts

:30:56. > :31:02.were. I don't mean to be bragging,

:31:03. > :31:04.but I didn't really So someone said, "You're

:31:05. > :31:08.on the charts..." We thought pop culture was idiotic,

:31:09. > :31:16.made for ten-year-olds. Among the many projects she's

:31:17. > :31:19.commissioned for the Brighton Festival is an installation inspired

:31:20. > :31:21.by her late husband, It features his old guitars

:31:22. > :31:26.and amps, which have been arranged to produce a continuous

:31:27. > :31:34.overlapping feedback loop. All of these sounds of harmonic,

:31:35. > :31:37.complex overtones, would fill So instead of going, "Thank you,

:31:38. > :31:46.hello, thanks for coming," you know? He would already be

:31:47. > :31:48.in this noise world. It is very three-dimensional

:31:49. > :31:51.and very complex. It does sound interesting,

:31:52. > :32:12.but I'm not sure it's Today we are looking ahead to

:32:13. > :32:15.tomorrow, a White Paper on the BBC and an argued over whether the
