Tonight at Ten: A British man inspired by so-called Islamic State | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
is starting a life sentence for the murder of | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
Mohammed Syeedy plotted the killing of Jalal Uddin. | :00:10. | :00:16. | |
The imam's family say they've been left empty by his murder. | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
The fact that he was murdered by someone inspired by IS showed | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
the true nature and barbarity of this organisation | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
Police say the imam was the victim of independent tolerance, | :00:28. | :00:37. | |
Police say the imam was the victim of intolerance, | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
targeted because his Muslim practices were against IS beliefs. | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
Also on tonight's programme: Angela Merkel says the EU | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
is in a critical situation as leaders plan a way | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
Making plans after Nigel - Diane James is elected | :00:47. | :00:54. | |
Why are aid convoys being blocked from entering the Syrian | :00:55. | :01:02. | |

After 25 years, the mother of the missing toddler Ben Needham | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
has been told to prepare for the worst. | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
And, the Games that keep giving for Great Britain. | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
At the Paralympics in Rio, they win their 50th gold. | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
Coming up in Sportsday on BBC News: Great Britain go 1-0 down | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
against Argentina in the Davis Cup semifinal as Juan Martin del Potro | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
beats Andy Murray in a match of more than five hours. | :01:28. | :01:46. | |
It was a killing inspired by so-called Islamic State | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
Mohammed Syeedy, who's 21, was the getaway driver | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
for a friend, who bludgeoned an imam to death in February, | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
and today Syeedy was sentenced to life at Manchester Crown Court. | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
Jalal Uddin who was 71, was attacked because he practiced | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
Jalal Uddin who was 71, was attacked because he practised | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
a form of Islamic spiritual healing, considered "black magic" | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
The man who carried out the murder, is thought to have fled to Syria. | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
Jalal Uddin came to Britain from Bangladesh in 2002. | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
He lived here illegally but it's said he made a positive contribution | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
The imam sent money home to support his wife and children. | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
They say his murder has left their family empty. | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
Although my father was a Muslim who peacefully practised his faith, | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
he had a love and respect for all religions, cultures | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
and creeds and the fact that he was murdered by someone | :02:43. | :02:50. | |
inspired by IS shows the true nature and barbarity of this | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
This video of Mr Uddin in his white headscarf was filmed secretly. | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
The pensioner's every movement tracked by those | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
It was found on the mobile phone of Mohammed Syeedy, | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
a 21-year-old student and part-time Manchester United steward. | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
Syeedy supported so-called Islamic State. | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
His phone was full of pictures of him making the one-fingered | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
IS salute and holding the group's flag. | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
He worshipped at this Mosque where Jalal Uddin also prayed | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
but the pensioner performed spiritual healing using amulets | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
Syeedy and a friend, Mohammed Kadir, made him their target. | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
Jalal Uddin had eaten a meal with friends and was walking home | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
through this children's park when he was ambushed. | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
Kadir hit him repeatedly on the head with a hammer and then ran off | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
to Syeedy's waiting car, leaving the pensioner | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
bleeding on the floor where he was discovered | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
He fled the country three days later. | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
As the getaway driver, Syeedy has been convicted of murder | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
Mohammed Abdul Rab was the last person to see his friend alive. | :04:07. | :04:14. | |
They ate dinner together every night. | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
Ten past eight and gone, about 20 minutes | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
Jalal Uddin was murdered moments after leaving his house. | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
His friend later had to identify his body. | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
We have two different amulets here, if you like. | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
The practice of spiritual healing is well-known in Islam but it's | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
the first time it's been a basis for murder in Britain. | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
However, it's not the first religiously motivated attack by one | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
The murder in Rochdale is a reflection of what I believe | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
has been happening in the UK and around the world | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
and that is that there is civil war within Islam taking place right now. | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
There are people who have been carrying out the blasphemy law | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
and killing people who they deem not to be Muslim enough. | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
Taxi driver Alan Henning, who was killed by IS in 2014, | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
They went on aid convoys with the same charity. | :05:04. | :05:13. | |
But the jihadist views Syeedy harboured resulted in | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
Mohammed Syeedy shook his head as he was convicted. Tonight he begins a | :05:16. | :05:25. | |
life sentence, he will serve at least 24 years in prison. The family | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
of Jalal Uddin came here to court from Bangladesh they said to seek | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
answers from Syeedy. They said he made the ordeal worse because he | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
showed no remorse or sympathy. They also suffer from the knowledge that | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
the man responsible for the attack, Mohammed Kadir has so far escaped | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
justice. He is believed to be in Syria. And counterterrorism | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
detectives tell me that tonight they do have hopes of tracing him | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
eventually because an international arrest warrant is in place for his | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
capture. Thank you. | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, says | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
the European Union is in a critical situation. | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
She made the warning as EU leaders met in Slovakia | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
to discuss the way forward, following the Brexit vote, | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
She said the EU needed to restore public confidence in its policies | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
on security, fighting terrorism, and the economy. | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
Our Europe editor Katya Adler reports from the summit. | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
Europe's leaders, forging towards a new EU after the shock | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
Well, that was the idea of today's meeting, but as leaders lunched | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
on the Danube River today, the metaphors were all too tempting. | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
The EU is in troubled waters, rather rudderless and keen to steer | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
itself back on a more stable, credible course. | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
Germany's Angela Merkel was resolute. | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
"We need solutions for Europe, we are in a critical | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
What Europe should not do is to continue sleepwalking | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
Everyone here wants the EU not just to survive but to function | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
The problem is, they are deeply disunited. | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
Of course there were disagreements between EU countries before | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
the Brexit vote, the euro and the migrant crisis, | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
but it's the sum total of these events, this perfect storm, | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
that now makes it much harder to paper over those cracks. | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
Central and Eastern Europe want powers back from Brussels, | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
The North views the debt-laden South as a threat to the eurozone, | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
while Mediterranean countries fume about German austerity. | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
But while a powerful German Chancellor used | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
to coax or bully others into line, that's now harder. | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
The migrant crisis damaged her credibility. | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
This evening, as the summit drew to a close, Angela Merkel stood | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
shoulder to shoulder with the French President. | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
But even as they spoke in gushing tones of the summit's | :08:04. | :08:12. | |
constructive spirit, with new plans to defend EU borders, | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
combat illegal migration and reduce youth unemployment, | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
in a press room just next door, this. | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
TRANSLATION: I'm not satisfied with today's discussion | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
about migration and economic growth so there was no way I could do | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
a joint press conference with the German Chancellor | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
I'm not going to simply read words from a script just | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
Consider this, EU leaders had thought employment and migration | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
were subjects they could easily agree on here in Bratislava. | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
They didn't even go near the really difficult topics, like a future EU | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
Britain needs to start those negotiations first, | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
of course, but a deal will need unanimity, | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
with every EU leader on the same page. | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
Katya joins us from the Slovak capital, Bratislava, now. | :09:04. | :09:15. | |
Donald Tusk tonight raised a few British eyebrows when he said | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
Theresa May told him last week she would probably start formal Brexit | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
negotiations this January or February. Now this has not been | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
confirmed by Downing Street. Of course up until now the Prime | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
Minister has remained purposely vague about a start date. Donald | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
Tusk and many of his European partners are impaesht and he tried | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
to use this opportunity to pile on the pressure on the UK. If this | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
sounds he said, she said, just wait until the real horse trading starts. | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
Thank you for that. Ukip's Deputy Chairman, Diane James, | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
has been elected to replace At their annual conference | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
in Bournemouth, she claimed Ukip is now the "opposition party | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
in waiting" and they'd be keeping up the pressure on Theresa May, | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
for a "100% exit" Our deputy political editor, | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
John Pienaar, has more. His report does contain | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
flash photography. He will miss the spotlight and his | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
followers are missing him already. It felt more like an emotional | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
leaving do than a coronation His role in forcing the EU | :10:19. | :10:20. | |
referendum is written into history Reminding the new management | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
of its new mission. The only time we will know Brexit | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
means Brexit is when that has been put in the bin and we get | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
back a British passport. An end to EU regulations - | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
what he called true independence. We have won the war, | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
we must now win the peace. ANNOUNCER: The leader of the UK | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
Independence Party - Diane James. She was backed by Mr Farage | :10:51. | :11:08. | |
in a bitterly divisive contest. Her job is to reunite the party | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
and set new goals, starting with this message | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
to the Prime Minister. If you're watching TV today, | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
you will be watching When you try to undermine us, | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
demoralise us, demotivate us - just remember where the best | :11:26. | :11:35. | |
ideas that you steal, where they came from and in all | :11:36. | :11:45. | |
likelihood where they will come She promised to keep up the pressure | :11:46. | :11:47. | |
to deliver on Brexit. Stop the faff, stop | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
the fudge and the farce. The new leader was the only one | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
Ukip's biggest donor - millionaire businessman Aaron Banks | :11:56. | :12:04. | |
- was prepared to back. The feuding in the party ran deep | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
and Ukip members say And whatever problems there have | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
been, if there have been any, What could be better than having | :12:10. | :12:17. | |
a lady running the show? We are not all just a bunch | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
of beery, boozy people in Ukip. Nigel Farage has that very special | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
gift of being able to tell Members have been covering this | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
giant leaving card for Nigel Farage with fond farewells | :12:32. | :12:39. | |
and they will miss his charisma as they try to answer the question - | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
what is Ukip for now the vote But right-wing parties have found | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
a place in politics across Europe and there are protest votes up | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
for grabs, especially with the main opposition parties at Westminster | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
so weak and divided. But now Diane James' | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
life gets tougher. Filling the shoes of one | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
of Britain's best-known Satisfying her members' sharpened | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
appetite for glory even harder. The mother of the toddler | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
Ben Needham, who disappeared on the Greek island of Kos 25 years | :13:13. | :13:21. | |
ago, says she's been told to "prepare for the worst" as police | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
begin a fresh search It's now thought Ben, | :13:26. | :13:27. | |
who was 21 months old, may have accidentally been crushed | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
by a digger on an island Ben Needham was only 21 months | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
old when he was last seen. For a generation, his family has | :13:35. | :13:42. | |
searched for him. They have even released artists' | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
impressions of him as an adult, The last time I saw Ben, | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
he was playing where But the police now have a new lead | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
which forces the family They have to re-examine what may | :13:57. | :14:05. | |
have happened around this, the family farmhouse | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
where he was last seen. One person on Kos has come forward | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
with information about a friend, a digger driver who was working | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
at a nearby building site The friend claims that the digger | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
driver may have accidentally run If he had come forward 25 | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
years before, or the man who did the accident, | :14:26. | :14:33. | |
we probably could have forgiven him. And Ben would have been laid | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
to rest, we would have And of course I would | :14:37. | :14:44. | |
have been angry. The digger driver himself | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
died last year. Locals in Kos have told | :14:49. | :14:59. | |
the BBC they doubt he had But to his mother, | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
the new information feels final. I don't think the police would have | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
given us this information if it This purpose in my life has always | :15:08. | :15:19. | |
been looking for Ben. My reason for waking up in | :15:20. | :15:33. | |
the morning and dealing with life. The police in Britain and Greece | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
have long had to consider the possibility that | :15:40. | :15:53. | |
Ben Needham is dead. In 2012 South Yorkshire Police | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
officers even came to Kos Ben was last seen here, | :15:56. | :15:57. | |
around his family's farmhouse. His family has spent more | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
than a quarter of a century hoping But excavations on this | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
island will soon begin. And his family will have to endure | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
a search which may James Reynolds, BBC News, | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
Kos. Four days after a ceasefire began | :16:12. | :16:22. | |
in Syria, a humanitarian aid convoy is still being blocked from entering | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
the northern city of Aleppo. The US has called on Russia | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
to persuade the Syrian government to allow access, | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
but Moscow is blaming rebel Jeremy Bowen is in Aleppo, | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
from where he's been Where does the truth lying in all | :16:33. | :16:49. | |
this? Is aid getting in? If not, why not, and wasn't that the point of | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
the ceasefire? It was one of the points of the ceasefire, and both | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
sides are blaming each other, as always. The UN has said specifically | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
that the problem is that there are some permissions that the Syrians | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
have to give, and then maybe things can go ahead. You know, the war is | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
still going on here. As I was waiting to speak to you this evening | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
I have been hearing steady artillery fire. That does not necessarily mean | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
the ceasefire is being broken, because not everybody is part of it, | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
but it is a sign of what is going on here, the dangers and difficulties. | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
Part of the problem is that Castello Road, the highway that they would | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
take to come in from Turkey, and that has been a heavily contested | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
area for some time. Fighting between both sides on this very strategic | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
highway. And now there are Russian soldiers up there, who are manning | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
various checkpoints. The Syrians say they have pulled back. The rebels | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
say they have pulled back. The thing about humanitarian access in this | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
war is that it is not just about need. It is about politics and | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
strategy as well, because the Syrians have deliberately besieged | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
areas they want to take control of. And they have stopped food getting | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
in. It has been a successful tactic. It has worked in parts of Damascus, | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
and in different places. They were trying to do all of this in East | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
Aleppo as well, rebel held Easter Aleppo. I think we can only conclude | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
that there are people there who do not want to dial you to their siege | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
of the area at all. -- to die loot their siege of the area. The | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
humanitarian aspects of this are one of the reasons why various rebel | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
groups got involved, even though they thought the deal was letting | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
the asset regime off the hook. I think if they cannot get the | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
humanitarian side of this working, then it is another serious crack in | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
an agreement which already, I think, seems to be deteriorating. Jeremy, | :18:59. | :19:00. | |
many thanks. A British man with autism says he'll | :19:01. | :19:04. | |

or just that a boy who's got mental health issues can be taken away | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
from his family and his support network, really to satisfy | :19:50. | :19:53. | |

the allegations are serious I don't know what my defence | :20:29. | :20:30. | |
would be because I've not seen the evidence or the charges | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
against me in the UK. But I know that if there is a debt | :20:36. | :20:38. | |

years of argument left. Daniel Sandford, BBC News, | :21:01. | :21:08. | |
at Westminster Magistrates' Court. Until his political views | :21:09. | :21:15. | |
began to raise eyebrows, Donald Trump's fame derived | :21:16. | :21:17. | |
from a hit US TV show, Well, chat show host Jimmy Fallon | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
has now done what some have dreamed of, and ruffled | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
the famous golden thatch of the Republican | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
Presidential nominee. Mr Trump retained his | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
composure and his comb-over. There's been yet more success | :21:34. | :21:41. | |
for Britain at the Paralympics, with four more gold medals so far | :21:42. | :21:43. | |
on day nine in Rio. Paralympics GB are now | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
within touching distance It is a feat worth celebrating. | :21:47. | :22:08. | |
Britain's 50th gold of the games, and in Paul Blake, the happiest | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
history maker. Blake, who has cerebral palsy, took bronze and | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
silver at London 2012, but here, in the 400 metres, it was finally gold. | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
A landmark moment for Blake, who celebrated by throwing his mascot to | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
his mum in the crowd, but also for the entire British team. Having | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
notched up their golden half-century, they simply rode on | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
through, Sophie Christiansen winning her third title here, with another | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
peerless performance. There was also dressage gold for Natasha Baker and | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
the flag bearer at the opening ceremony, Lee Pearson. And another | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
in a sport similar to bowls for David Smith. Britain, passed 50 | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
golds and still counting. Some achievement. It was something we | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
only dreamt of at this stage, rather than envisaged, but the dream was | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
big and we wanted to achieve it, so in some ways it feels intensely | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
satisfying. We have converted nearly half of all our medals into gold. | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
And one athlete has contributed more than most. Silver in the relay last | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
night completed an extraordinary Games for Cox. She took four medals | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
here across two sports, athletics and cycling, something no Britain | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
has done since 1988. I never aimed to make history, just to do | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
something different and enjoy it and encourage other people, to let them | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
know they could do things that were bit challenging. I have achieved | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
what I wanted to achieve and I am happy and I just want to sleep now. | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
But it wasn't just a successful day for Britain. In the long jump for | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
visually impaired athletes, the Brazilian athlete leaping for glory. | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
Each athlete is guided into their take-off, and how she took off. Gold | :23:58. | :24:06. | |
for the hosts to cheer. And there has been more successful | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
Britain in the last half-hour. Gordon Reid has won the wheelchair | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
tennis singles event. Hannah Cockroft has won her third | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
wheelchair race title in the 800 metres. That means that Britain has | :24:19. | :24:28. | |
now won 121 medals at these Games, beating the 120 from London 2012. | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
That was their target before they came here and they have done it with | :24:33. | :24:34. | |
more than two days to spare. Last night's storms across parts | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
of England dumped more rain in six hours than had been seen | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
in six weeks. Flash flooding has caused problems | :24:43. | :24:44. | |
on the roads and on the railways, where a train derailed | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
because of a landslide next to the main lines in and out | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
of north London near Watford. The derailed train hit another one | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
coming in the opposite direction, UK City of Culture was created | :24:55. | :24:56. | |
with the aim of bringing communities together and helping artistic talent | :24:57. | :25:06. | |
to flourish, through culture. Will Gompertz has been | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
following the city's progress And he returned to Derry to see | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
if it has delivered the hoped-for Londonderry, nearly three years | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
after it was UK City of Culture. Back then, the snaking Peace Bridge | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
connecting two sides of a divided city was a new landmark symbolising | :25:24. | :25:25. | |
a fresh start. It has been a great success, | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
but what else, if anything, remains in terms of a legacy | :25:29. | :25:31. | |
from Derry's 12 months And I know that some people say, | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
well, is that all it was? If that is all it was, | :25:36. | :25:49. | |
I still think it was great. The promises did not come | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
through in terms of authorities, But this being Derry, | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
I think we're used to that. The city's troubled past | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
is well documented. There is much greater interest | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
in the city and more and more people want to come and experience that | :26:07. | :26:14. | |
whole cultural European regeneration You can see really | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
significant growth. We expected a dip in 2014 | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
and this month past, in August, we had the greatest | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
occupancy we have The City of Culture has | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
left a positive legacy. Derry has come up on the map | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
after City of Culture. But there's not a lot of legacy | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
from it, I don't think. Because naturally enough, | :26:44. | :26:52. | |
you will get people coming. Maybe they're wee | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
businessmen themselves. And they're saying, oh, here, | :26:59. | :26:59. | |
this is a nice place. Investment has been made, | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
albeit relatively modest, in this fashion and | :27:03. | :27:10. | |
textile design centre. It's an attempt to fill at least | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
part of the significant economic hole left by the demise of Derry's | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
shirt-making industry. This gallery has seen | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
some investment, too. Its director has some advice | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
for Hull, the next I think you have to think strongly | :27:26. | :27:27. | |
about this issue of legacy. What happens afterwards, | :27:28. | :27:34. | |
what happens to the organisations? What happens to the spaces | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
afterwards that have been realised? What happens to the spaces in terms | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
of the huge amounts of public funds being pumped | :27:42. | :27:44. | |
into them and programmes? They really need to consider | :27:45. | :27:47. | |
in terms of what that Some feel the possibilities created | :27:48. | :27:49. | |
by Derry's year as City of Culture Others, that it has | :27:50. | :27:55. | |
kick-started a new renaissance. Almost all agree that it was time | :27:56. | :27:59. | |
and money well spent. And next Thursday, Will Gompertz | :28:00. | :28:04. | |
will be reporting on the launch of Hull's year as UK | :28:05. | :28:11. | |
City of Culture. That's all from us. Now it's time | :28:12. | :28:17. | |
for the news where you are. | :28:18. | :28:25. |
