Tonight at Ten: Labour sets out its economic | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
vision for Britain - the Shadow Chancellor says | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
At the party conference in Liverpool, John McDonnell said | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
he favoured more intervention, including boosting the living | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
That's our vision to rebuild and transform Britain. | :00:18. | :00:24. | |
In this party, you no longer have to whisper its | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
And we catch up Labour's defence spokesman amid claims | :00:28. | :00:43. | |
that his speech on nuclear weapons was altered by the leader's office. | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
We'll have the latest from Liverpool, where Labour's | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
divisions on defence were causing more tensions. | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
Also tonight: The double murderer Christopher Halliwell might have | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
killed six other people, according to a former | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
A report from the city of Aleppo - under renewed bombardment, | :00:55. | :01:02. | |
as Syrian forces try to retake the rest of the city. | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
Four hours until the first Trump-Clinton debate of the US | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
presidential campaign, as polls suggest | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
Micah born champion, he made no mistake. | :01:14. | :01:24. | |
And tributes to the great Arnold Palmer, who did more | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
to promote the game of golf than any other champion. | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
On Sportsday later in the hour on BBC News, | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
Burnley get their noses in | :01:32. | :01:32. | |
front against Watford, as they battle it out | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
Labour's economic vision for Britain has been set out by John McDonnell, | :01:35. | :02:02. | |
the Shadow Chancellor, who said the days of whispering the word | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
At the heart of his plan was an increase in the living wage | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
to at least ten pounds an hour, an end to austerity, and more | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
He insisted the world was moving away from the idea of free markets | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg reports from | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
He's one of Labour's hard men with a hard job. | :02:25. | :02:33. | |
John McDonnell wants you to trust him with | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
With a big promise, outbidding the Government's vow | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
Under the next Labour government, everyone will earn | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
When we win the next election, we will write into law | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
Independent forecasts suggest this will be over ?10 an hour. | :02:55. | :03:08. | |
And plenty of plans to intervene in business, and root out the worst. | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
We will clamp down on the abuses of power at the very top. | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
Under Labour there will be no more Philip Greens at all. | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
He promised the audience Labour would repeal tighter rules on trade | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
unions, borrow to invest billions in infrastructure, | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
and spend more to support manufacturing renaissance. | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
And then a declaration it seemed he had dreamt of for years. | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
In the birthplace of John Lennon, it falls to us to inspire | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
Imagine it is a society that is radically transformed, | :03:44. | :03:53. | |
radically fairer, more equal, more democratic. | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
Yes, based on a prosperous economy, but where that | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
In this party, you no longer have to whisper its name, | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
Solidarity with him, certainly, but what about in the hall? | :04:07. | :04:16. | |
I don't come out in hives when I hear the word | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
We are a socialist and democratic party. | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
These are very clear ideas that the best of the Labour movement | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
has always represented, not necessarily the Labour Party always. | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
I think a small minority of the country wants that | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
but there's a large majority of it that doesn't and we must represent | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
John McDonnell had a whole list of ideas to tickle the bellies | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
of the party faithful, but he needs to do more than that | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
to restore Labour's reputation for handling the country's money. | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
As I say, I think there are signs in this speech of progress, | :04:51. | :05:02. | |
with a combative tone around areas where business is trying | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
I think we will want to see a lot more dialogue. | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
Do you think people can trust Labour on the economy now, | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
when you were promising huge amounts more borrowing in order to invest, | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
but also asking companies to pay people more? | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
If you look at some of our European competitors in particular, | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
what they've done is for a long period of time they've had these | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
levels of investment that we are now putting forward. | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
They've also had decent pay rates too, and we have fallen behind | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
You said you want to be like a boring bank manager so people | :05:33. | :05:40. | |
Do you think John McDonnell has become boring? | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
I think I am getting a bit boring, that's true. | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
Bank manager, well I think we can go into government any time now. | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
We can demonstrate that we can manage the economy effectively. | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
We've got to convince people of that. | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
At conferences, there is always a market for souvenirs. | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
But it's you, not the people here, who will decide | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
if Mr McDonnell's message turns out to be a bestseller. | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Liverpool. | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
Labour's policy on nuclear weapons was again a source | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
The party's defence spokesman, Clive Lewis, | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
that he had no plans to change Labour's official policy | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
of supporting the renewal of the Trident nuclear weapons system. | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
But, as our deputy political editor John Pienaar reports, the phrase | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
was apparently removed from Mr Lewis's speech on the orders | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
Mr Corbyn is opposed to renewing Trident. | :06:30. | :06:38. | |
For Labour, nuclear defence is as tricky as it gets. | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
The party's split for and against, but listen carefully - | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
was this the moment the argument was settled? | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
The moment Trident missiles were accepted as part of Britain's | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
As you know, I am sceptical about Trident renewal, | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
But I am clear that our party has a policy for Trident renewal. | :06:56. | :07:06. | |
Clive Lewis didn't like it, but his speech had been rewritten | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
He meant to go even further, committing Labour to | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
The whole thing is a collective responsibility. | :07:14. | :07:22. | |
Sources say he hurled his phone, punched a wall he was so angry. | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
That he meant to make it even clearer that Labour support for | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
nuclear defence was here to stay, and then at the last moment someone | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
Jeremy Corbyn's always opposed nuclear weapons but his MPs voted | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
He insists he's still on good terms with his defence spokesman. | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
It's not changing policy by autocue, as has been suggested? | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
It was a man hug and we had a good chat. | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
I was on the stage, I thought he gave a really good speech. | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
I don't know about that, but I was there and it was a good | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
speech and I was really proud of him. | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
Supporters of Trident are sure, though, Labour has | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
I think what Clive was trying to do was to say, right, | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
let's concentrate on talking about defence security issues. | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
Let's park this one because the decision has | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
now been taken, and move on, and I think that was a welcome move. | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
And Labour's support for nuclear defence now look settled | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
even before the party completes its policy review. | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
That will please the unions whose members' jobs depend on Trident | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
but it's left antinuclear campaigners feeling beaten. | :08:35. | :08:35. | |
Very disappointing for us and of course also for the majority | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
of party members that we know are opposed to Trident replacement. | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
Jeremy Corbyn is not about to change his mind | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
about nuclear weapons but this time unilateral disarmament looks | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
He's won a new mandate to lead and he's enjoying it but the battles | :08:47. | :08:55. | |
over policy have begun and he can't win them all. | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
John Pienaar, BBC News, Liverpool. | :08:59. | :08:59. | |
Let's join our political editor Laura Kuenssberg | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
Let's talk about the economic vision you were telling us about earlier. | :09:02. | :09:13. | |
Talk about a more interventionist approach, socialism, what is your | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
reading of the approach? They haven't given all the details but by | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
choosing to use the word socialism, it is clear John McDonnell and | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
Jeremy Corbyn want to show they have a different approach to Labour | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
governments that have gone before, with more government intervention, | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
more borrowing to invest if the economy needs it, and in their view | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
more protections for working people. But it's also clear from what was | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
quite a chaotic set of events today, before they get to being able to | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
sell that to the public, before they are able to display that clear | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
division between them and the Conservatives, they have an awful | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
lot more work to do, more energy to expend in just keeping the show on | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
the road. But after the date they can be no question this is going to | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
be one of the very clear, big divisions between Labour and the | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
Conservatives as we head towards the general election. That may still be | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
four years away, but it may not be, and we know now for sure the Labour | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
Party will be showing a very different approach, a clear gulf | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
between them and the Conservatives when finally the next time round we | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
get to make up our minds. The double murderer | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
Christopher Halliwell may have killed six other people, | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
according to a former detective - Steve Fulcher - who said he'd | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
formed his opinion based of information given | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
by Halliwell himself. Halliwell was told last week that | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
he'd have to stay in prison for the rest of his life for the murder | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
of Becky Godden in 2003. He was already in jail | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
for the murder of Sian O'Callaghan Our correspondent Jon Kay | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
reports from Wiltshire. In the countryside near Swindon, | :10:51. | :10:57. | |
Christopher Halliwell murdered two young women and disposed | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
of their bodies. Becky Godden on the left in 2003, | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
Sian O'Callaghan eight years later. When Christopher Halliwell | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
was arrested in 2011, he was brought here by police, | :11:08. | :11:15. | |
stood in this field and had a one-to-one conversation | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
with the detective who was Now that detective has told the BBC | :11:19. | :11:20. | |
he believes Halliwell may I spent a lot of time | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
with Christopher Halliwell. He was contrite, fully contrite, | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
crying on my shoulder And there's no question, | :11:34. | :11:35. | |
from all the information that I gathered when I was running | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
this inquiry in 2011, The principal thing he said was, | :11:42. | :11:43. | |
"the police want to interview me So you think there are, | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
what, six other murders? That's what I conclude | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
from him saying that. He suggested Halliwell could be | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
involved in the disappearance 13 years ago of local | :11:58. | :11:59. | |
mother Linda Razzell. Her husband was jailed | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
but claims he's innocent. Today Mrs Razzell's relatives | :12:06. | :12:07. | |
said they were satisfied with the original | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
police investigation. Claudia Lawrence is another name | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
mentioned in the new media, but North Yorkshire Police say | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
they are not aware of a link Steve Fulcher resigned | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
from the two years ago. He had been criticised over the way | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
he arrested the taxi driver, although last week a judge said he'd | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
acted in good faith. The new police team says it's | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
committed to investigating Halliwell's past, and will work | :12:33. | :12:34. | |
with forces across the country. The Russian government has warned | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
that the tone and rhetoric of British and American officials, | :12:37. | :12:45. | |
who've accused Russia of unleashing a 'new hell' | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
on the Syrian city of Aleppo, are unacceptable and could damage | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
international relations. In Aleppo more than 320 civilians | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
are said to have been killed since the ceasefire brokered | :12:58. | :12:59. | |
by America and Russia The city, Syria's biggest, | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
has been divided into east and west. The eastern part, under | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
the control of rebel groups, has been under siege | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
for months, leaving quarter The western district is still under | :13:12. | :13:13. | |
the control of the Assad regime, It's been carrying out dozens | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
of bombing raids to retake Our Middle East correspondent | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
Quentin Sommerville some distressing images in the | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
piece. Aleppo has never been | :13:29. | :13:41. | |
more overwhelmed. At Al-Quds Hospital, | :13:42. | :13:42. | |
the wounded lie in corridors, there aren't any beds, | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
they are fast running out Four days of relentless Russian | :13:45. | :13:46. | |
and Syrian bombing of civilians has led | :13:47. | :13:56. | |
to a grisly sight. Hospitals are awash | :13:57. | :13:58. | |
in the blood of civilians. These men, badly injured | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
but conscious, pray to God and curse God is watching you, | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
you oppressor, he says. The bombs are bigger and the air | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
raids more intensive now. 61 children were admitted to city | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
hospitals overnight. In one, five died at the weekend | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
because there were no ventilators. The BBC's Panorama has been | :14:20. | :14:31. | |
following Ismail, a rescue worker. The regime dropped two | :14:32. | :14:44. | |
barrel bombs here. They had been attending a funeral | :14:45. | :14:45. | |
for victims of an earlier bombing. Sometimes, I got feeling that I'm | :14:46. | :15:27. | |
living the last days of my life. Aleppo is burning, without any | :15:28. | :15:36. | |
mercy, killing everything. Strong words are being used | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
to describe what is happening here. But sometimes it's | :15:40. | :15:47. | |
the quietest moments that Mohammed Gennady calls | :15:48. | :15:49. | |
for his son, Hassan. The family moved | :15:50. | :16:08. | |
here five years ago. They never thought it | :16:09. | :16:29. | |
would end like this. But then who could have predicted | :16:30. | :16:31. | |
Aleppo's horrors? Quentin Somerville, | :16:32. | :16:33. | |
BBC News, Beirut. In just under four hours' time | :16:34. | :16:43. | |
the two US presidential candidates, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
will face each other in their first televised debate | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
together ahead of the election in The encounter is expected | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
to be watched by around 100 million Americans | :16:55. | :17:03. | |
at a time when some opinion polls are suggesting | :17:04. | :17:05. | |
an even closer contest. Let's join our North America editor | :17:06. | :17:07. | |
Jon Sopel who's at the debate The anticipation and expectation is | :17:08. | :17:17. | |
off the scale. This is the occasion where once every four years politics | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
intersects with bare knuckle cage fighting. As you say, the TV | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
audience promises to be massive. The sort of figures you'd expect for the | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
Super Bowl or the final episode of Friends, not that there will be much | :17:32. | :17:33. | |
friendship on show tonight. They have clocked up thousands of | :17:34. | :17:41. | |
campaign miles but not before have they come together face-to-face on | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
the debate stage. Both have immense challenges. Arnold Trump knows what | :17:45. | :17:51. | |
he wants to do, kick out illegal immigrants, build a wall, bring back | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
manufacturing jobs, but how is he going to do that? He also needs to | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
show he has the temperament. If Trump complete a sentence with the | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
right grammar that will be seen as a success for him. He's the one with a | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
mountain to climb but the opportunity to do it. With | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
expectations so low, if he is articulate and knowledgeable he | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
wins. Are, expectation. That is one of Hillary Clinton's problems. She | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
knows policy backwards but must not come across as too much of a wonk, | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
though her fundamental difficulty is that she is seen as divisive and | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
untrustworthy. Something her senior campaign staff recognise. He's done | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
a lot of attacking on her, that's taken a toll. We don't think those | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
attacks were fair. But they have hurt her. So when she talks to the | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
American people and tell them I understand people have concerns and | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
questions, there is a reason why you have those questions, and she's | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
going to work to earn their trust. Once upon a time they socialise | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
together, now they are engaged in the most polarising and | :18:58. | :18:59. | |
unpredictable battle that America has seen. And that's because there's | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
never been a candidate like Donald Trump. He can be charming, yes. But | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
most often in debate he's been a street fighter and a bully. Don't | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
worry about it, little Marco. Let's hear it, big Donald. Don't worry | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
about it, little markers. The voters have a right to know. You are the | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
lying guy up here. You said September 30 that Isis was not a | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
factor. Who are you talking to? I'm talking right here. You interrupted | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
me. Will you apologise? Most blue you are not going to be able to | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
insult your way to the presidency, that's not going to happen. But he's | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
come a lot further than anyone predicted. A lot of experts are | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
saying that whatever happens tonight went really affect the outcome of | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
this race. But those pundits have been wrong throughout. What unfolds | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
tonight really does matter, and both camps know it. Jon Sopel, BBC News, | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
New York. You can see the first Presidential | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
debate from New York overnight Now, the company which runs | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
Alton Towers, Merlin Attractions, is facing a fine of up | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
to ?10 million pounds after admitting failings | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
on its Smiler rollercoaster ride. A court heard today that the impact | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
of a crash in June last year, which left five passengers | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
with life-changing injuries, was like a car accident | :20:27. | :20:28. | |
at 90 miles an hour. The moment the Smiler rollercoaster | :20:29. | :20:30. | |
collided with a carriage already on the track and at least four young | :20:31. | :20:40. | |
lives were changed forever. The impact was similar to that | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
of a family car crashing at 90 mph. Today the five who sustained | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
the most serious injuries came In the front row Joe Pugh | :20:51. | :20:52. | |
and Leah Washington, to their left Vicky Balch | :20:53. | :21:01. | |
and then Daniel Thorpe. In the row behind Chanda Chauhan | :21:02. | :21:03. | |
and her daughter Meera, just They listened intently as the court | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
was told about the disbelief and horror they felt as they saw | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
the train on the track and they knew They heard the injuries that led | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
to both Leah Washington and Victoria Balch having legs | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
amputated, caused bleeding so severe And how they were left | :21:23. | :21:24. | |
suspended for hours with significant delay before | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
they were reached by paramedics. This was probably the most | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
challenging incident I've ever We'd got a complex ride structure | :21:34. | :21:35. | |
similar to a scaffolding structure, we'd got an unstable ride, | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
not designed to stay in that position, but we'd also | :21:43. | :21:44. | |
got 16 casualties. We've got 16 casualties | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
stuck on the ride itself. The computer safety system had | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
activated and stopped the ride before the accident happened | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
but it was overridden by engineers. The prosecution said that once | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
the ride had been stopped, no one individual had a full | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
understanding of the big picture, and staff had come to distrust | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
fault signals and instead Merlin Attractions have admitted | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
breaking health and safety law but the company says it has | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
a good safety record. Sophie Long, BBC News, | :22:18. | :22:20. | |

months. Sir Dave Brailsford, | :23:25. | :23:26. | |
the head of the Team Sky, has defended a decision to ask | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
for official permission for Sir Bradley Wiggins to use | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
powerful steroid injections Sir Dave said the injections | :23:33. | :23:34. | |
were to treat asthma and allergies, and were not used to | :23:35. | :23:44. | |
enhance performance. He says the treatment | :23:45. | :23:46. | |
was legitimate. He's been speaking to our | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
sports editor Dan Roan. They are two of sport's | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
most successful figures. Sir Dave Brailsford, mastermind | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
of Britain's cycling revolution, and Sir Bradley Wiggins, | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
his country's most decorated Olympian, but suddenly both | :24:01. | :24:02. | |
find their reputations on the line. Two weeks ago Russian hackers | :24:03. | :24:04. | |
revealed Wiggins' use of steroid injections | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
in the build-up to big races. The drugs were permitted under TUEs, | :24:09. | :24:10. | |
or therapeutic use exemptions, allowing banned treatments | :24:11. | :24:12. | |
for a valid medical Wiggins defended himself | :24:13. | :24:14. | |
yesterday, insisting he took the drug for his asthma | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
and today his former boss at Team Sky finally broke his | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
silence, Brailsford telling me Do not think, on reflection, | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
that was a mistake? No, I don't think it was a mistake | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
because if you have an expert telling you it's right, | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
the right medication to take and it is recommended | :24:36. | :24:37. | |
by an expert and a doctor and the process, and the | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
anti-doping authorities also agree with that, I think, | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
I don't see why at that moment in time I would disagree and say no, | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
I don't agree with all of this. We are not using it to enhance | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
performance, it is for a medical While there is no suggestion Sky | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
or Wiggins broke any rules, experts and cyclists have questioned | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
the use Others have asked why, | :25:02. | :25:02. | |
if Bradley Wiggins was ill enough to need it before the 2012 Tour de | :25:03. | :25:10. | |
France win, he said he was in good health at that time | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
in his autobiography. With the information | :25:15. | :25:16. | |
that I had at the time, five or six years ago, | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
at that moment in time, with the information | :25:20. | :25:21. | |
that was presented to me and the expert opinion and the whole | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
process, I would make So you don't feel you've | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
crossed that thin blue line The one mantra - you can ask | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
anyone in this team, we absolutely, absolutely | :25:33. | :25:43. | |
there is no crossing that line. You claim to be whiter than white, | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
but are you in a grey area, perhaps? That's a fair question | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
as there is obviously a debate Team Sky have emphasised their zero | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
tolerance approach to doping and have faced a barrage | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
of criticism, and Brailsford admits they are now rethinking the policies | :26:04. | :26:05. | |
on such medication. Certainly, going forward, | :26:06. | :26:08. | |
I think there is a broader debate within the whole TUE, | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
the authorities and ourselves included, that should any TUE be | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
made public in the future? And I think that's | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
what we should be doing. Certainly, we're looking | :26:22. | :26:23. | |
at it as a policy. Amid unprecedented scrutiny | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
Brailsford will hope that having come out fighting, | :26:28. | :26:28. | |
the pressure on him, his team and Wiggins will finally | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
ease, but the debate over what sport deems ethical | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
and fair will continue. Well now, President Obama has been | :26:36. | :26:37. | |
leading the tributes to the golfer Arnold Palmer, | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
who's died at the age of 87. Palmer won the US Masters four | :26:44. | :26:46. | |
times and The Open twice and was held to be one of the most | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
influential figures Mr Obama described him | :26:51. | :26:52. | |
as 'the King', with a 'fearless approach that inspired | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
a generation'. Our correspondent Katie Gornall | :26:57. | :26:58. | |
looks back at his life Arnold Palmer, golfer, | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
aviator, man of many parts. They said he could so capture | :27:03. | :27:09. | |
the public, he could Arnold Palmer, the champion golfer | :27:10. | :27:11. | |
whose charisma drew a legion of fans He won his first Major, the Masters, | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
in 1958, and two years later, the television | :27:18. | :27:24. | |
cameras followed. Golf had found | :27:25. | :27:26. | |
its star of the screen. He was five foot ten but very much | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
like a middleweight boxer, He used to grip | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
the club and thump it. he was not a flashing rapier, | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
it was wham, crash, bang, wallop. And he caught the | :27:39. | :27:45. | |
imagination of people. His nickname was "The King", | :27:46. | :27:47. | |
and it was fitting. From 58 through to 1964, | :27:48. | :27:51. | |
he won seven major titles. Including four Masters | :27:52. | :27:53. | |
and two Open Championships. His success stretched | :27:54. | :28:03. | |
beyond the fairways. Adverts and endorsements made Palmer | :28:04. | :28:07. | |
golf's first millionaire, and those who followed in his footsteps say | :28:08. | :28:12. | |
they would never be competing When golf needed him in the 60s | :28:13. | :28:14. | |
and 70s, he brought golf to the masses, and he leaves | :28:15. | :28:20. | |
a legacy that no one else in any other sport, | :28:21. | :28:23. | |
I think, can leave. It was not just golfers | :28:24. | :28:25. | |
that Palmer influenced. Today, President Obama | :28:26. | :28:31. | |
paid his own tribute to a man whose appeal endured, | :28:32. | :28:34. | |
even when the victories dried up. This, his final US Open | :28:35. | :28:36. | |
appearance in 1994. I suppose the most | :28:37. | :28:38. | |
important thing... ..is the fact that it has been | :28:39. | :28:54. | |
as good as it has been to me. There have been better | :28:55. | :29:00. | |
golfers than Palmer, but there may never be one more | :29:01. | :29:06. | |
popular, or one who loved Today's tributes to the golfer | :29:07. | :29:09. | |
Arnold Palmer, who's A sculpture of an oversized | :29:10. | :29:21. | |
backside, more than ?20,000 in pennies, and a suit | :29:22. | :29:26. | |
made of bricks. They're all among the works | :29:27. | :29:28. | |
of the artists shortlisted for this year's Turner Prize, | :29:29. | :29:31. | |
which go on show at Tate The prize was created | :29:32. | :29:33. | |
over 30 years ago with the aim of boosting interest | :29:34. | :29:36. | |
in contemporary art in Britain. Our arts editor Will Gompertz has | :29:37. | :29:38. | |
been taking a look. Hello and welcome to | :29:39. | :29:42. | |
the 2016 Turner Prize. The winner will be | :29:43. | :29:45. | |
announced in December. This is the exhibit of our first | :29:46. | :29:49. | |
contender, Michael Dean, He wants to make words physical, | :29:50. | :29:51. | |
so each one of these totemic like objects | :29:52. | :29:59. | |
is either a letter or a word. Here, though, these tombstones | :30:00. | :30:02. | |
are the artist and his children. Here he is, here is his missus, | :30:03. | :30:04. | |
here's his two kids. And on the floor a very strong | :30:05. | :30:07. | |
political statement. This is 20,436 1p coins, which is, | :30:08. | :30:12. | |
according to the artist, the UK Next up is Josephine Pryde, | :30:13. | :30:15. | |
an artist who is mainly known And these images showing a manicured | :30:16. | :30:23. | |
hand handling everyday objects look very casual | :30:24. | :30:30. | |
but in fact they're staged. She wants to challenge notions | :30:31. | :30:32. | |
of advertising and fashion and how But there's more to Josephine | :30:33. | :30:35. | |
than photographs because down Now, in previous gallery exhibitions | :30:36. | :30:41. | |
where this has been shown, you can sit on it and trundle | :30:42. | :30:45. | |
around the space. But not here because it's in London | :30:46. | :30:47. | |
and it doesn't move because there's This is the work of Helen Marten, | :30:48. | :30:50. | |
the third artist on the short list This time, though, she uses | :30:51. | :30:56. | |
materials both found and fabricated Here we have one | :30:57. | :31:02. | |
which is a day at work. The raw materials, the machine | :31:03. | :31:06. | |
and the output. Over here, this is after work, | :31:07. | :31:08. | |
this is a scene at home, you're relaxed, lying down, | :31:09. | :31:11. | |
taking it easy. And then over here, right | :31:12. | :31:14. | |
at the top, a pair of lungs as you exhale after a hard day | :31:15. | :31:21. | |
at the coal face. I really like them, | :31:22. | :31:24. | |
I think they bear scrutiny. We now enter the surreal world | :31:25. | :31:28. | |
of Anthea Hamilton, This is London, the summer skyline | :31:29. | :31:31. | |
as she knows it from her flat. Then she's hung out, | :31:32. | :31:39. | |
like a washing line here, If you think that's kind of wild, | :31:40. | :31:43. | |
check the next space. So, she's recreated a Manhattan loft | :31:44. | :31:48. | |
apartment in this space with floor-to-ceiling redbrick | :31:49. | :31:51. | |
wallpaper, there's even this redbrick suit, and then | :31:52. | :31:58. | |
around here is the big Now some people might think that | :31:59. | :32:00. | |
sums up the Turner prize, but I think that would be | :32:01. | :32:04. | |
harsh this year. Just a few of this year's turn the | :32:05. | :32:07. | |
delights. Newsnight's about to begin over | :32:08. | :32:19. | |
on BBC2 in a few moments. We are live in Liverpool at the | :32:20. | :32:27. | |
Labour conference. Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell has said Labour is a | :32:28. | :32:32. | |
government in waiting and an unashamedly socialist one at that. | :32:33. | :32:35. | |
