Tonight at Ten: Jeremy Corbyn says he'll take Labour into power

:00:00.:00:09.

and deliver the socialism of the 21st century.

:00:10.:00:13.

He told the party conference it was time to unite to fight

:00:14.:00:20.

the Conservatives and to be ready for a general election

:00:21.:00:22.

So I ask each and every one of you to accept

:00:23.:00:28.

the decision of the members, end the trench warfare and work

:00:29.:00:30.

We'll have detail and reaction from the Labour conference in Liverpool.

:00:31.:00:40.

Also tonight: Sam Allardyce admits the mistake which ended his career

:00:41.:00:45.

as England football manager but hits out at the journalists

:00:46.:00:47.

It was an error in judgment on my behalf and I paid

:00:48.:00:54.

the consequences, but, you know, entrapment has won on this

:00:55.:00:56.

It was a Russian missile that destroyed a passenger plane over

:00:57.:01:03.

eastern Ukraine in 2014, according to investigators.

:01:04.:01:08.

We talk to the President of Chile who's fighting to change

:01:09.:01:11.

the country's anti-abortion laws - among the strictest in the world.

:01:12.:01:14.

And, a Champions League classic between Celtic

:01:15.:01:16.

Coming up in Sportsday on BBC News: Europe captain Darren Clarke

:01:17.:01:28.

is unimpressed by an article from one of his players' brothers

:01:29.:01:30.

describing the American Ryder Cup supporters as imbeciles.

:01:31.:01:48.

Jeremy Corbyn has told the Labour conference that socialism

:01:49.:01:56.

for the 21st century will be the foundation of the party's

:01:57.:01:59.

programme, as he urged delegates to be prepared for a possible

:02:00.:02:02.

General Election as early as next year.

:02:03.:02:05.

He urged colleagues to end what he called the trench warfare

:02:06.:02:11.

of the past year and he set out a series of policy pledges,

:02:12.:02:14.

including nationalising the railways and defeating Conservative plans

:02:15.:02:16.

Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg listened

:02:17.:02:20.

The leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn.

:02:21.:02:30.

Coming out on top in charge of his party.

:02:31.:02:34.

There's no change in the devotion of his followers.

:02:35.:02:39.

It is a socialism of the 21st-century.

:02:40.:02:51.

Our job is now to win over the unconvinced of our vision.

:02:52.:02:58.

No one will be convinced of a vision promoted

:02:59.:03:01.

So I ask each and every one of you to accept the decision

:03:02.:03:11.

of the members, end the trench warfare, and work together

:03:12.:03:13.

To suits at the front, supporters at the back,

:03:14.:03:24.

he made his ten familiar promises, coming to a leaflet near you.

:03:25.:03:27.

Full employment, a home's guarantee, security at work, a strong,

:03:28.:03:31.

public National Health Service and social care.

:03:32.:03:35.

A national education service for all.

:03:36.:03:38.

Vows too on climate change, public services,

:03:39.:03:41.

I have not come down from the mountain with them.

:03:42.:03:53.

There was no bold offer to colleagues who

:03:54.:03:57.

He needs them if Labour can convincingly make this attack.

:03:58.:04:03.

This isn't a new Government, it's David Cameron's Government

:04:04.:04:07.

repackaged with progressive slogans, but with a new,

:04:08.:04:11.

Who seriously believes the Tories could ever stand up

:04:12.:04:19.

They are the party of the privileged few.

:04:20.:04:32.

Their only plan is the return of grammar schools,

:04:33.:04:35.

segregation and second-class schooling for the majority.

:04:36.:04:38.

Labour is standing up for education for all.

:04:39.:04:44.

There would be a bigger tax on business to pay for education,

:04:45.:04:48.

but despite the referendum result, on anxieties over immigration,

:04:49.:04:51.

his aims to ease the strains, not cut the numbers.

:04:52.:04:57.

A Labour Government will not offer false promises on immigration,

:04:58.:04:59.

We will not sow division by fanning the flames of fear.

:05:00.:05:04.

We will act decisively to end the undercutting of workers' pay

:05:05.:05:08.

and conditions through the exploitation of migrant

:05:09.:05:10.

Labour will reinstate the migrant impact fund and give extra support

:05:11.:05:16.

He was confident, but in his comfort zone.

:05:17.:05:21.

And ten years after Tony Blair made his last conference speech,

:05:22.:05:25.

Mr Corbyn was applauded for opposition to Iraq.

:05:26.:05:29.

I believe it was right to apologise on behalf

:05:30.:05:34.

of the party for the Iraq war, right to say that we learned

:05:35.:05:37.

He had stern words on anti-Semitism and abuse, and urged the party

:05:38.:05:46.

to forget their private battles and focus on the public.

:05:47.:05:50.

We are half a million of us, and there will be many more,

:05:51.:05:54.

working together to make our country the place it could be.

:05:55.:06:01.

Conference, united, we can shape the future and build a fairer

:06:02.:06:05.

It was a grand-sounding vision, socialism for the 21st-century.

:06:06.:06:22.

But it was more Jeremy Corbyn's greatest hits, a broad outline

:06:23.:06:27.

of his long held beliefs, than a detailed argument

:06:28.:06:37.

to persuade you to vote Labour at the next election.

:06:38.:06:39.

Do you think the public is ready for 21st-century socialism?

:06:40.:06:42.

Not only are they ready, they need it.

:06:43.:06:43.

It is our job to explain how this system is leaving them behind.

:06:44.:06:46.

I'm very pleased we've got 21st-century socialism.

:06:47.:06:48.

I think it will go down well in the country as well.

:06:49.:06:53.

# The people's flag is deepest red...

:06:54.:06:55.

Jeremy Corbyn's supporters believe his Labour is much more

:06:56.:06:59.

than a cover version of the party of old.

:07:00.:07:03.

But echoes of the past are all around.

:07:04.:07:06.

He has inspired thousands on the left, but he has yet

:07:07.:07:08.

to show that millions will join his chorus.

:07:09.:07:12.

Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Liverpool.

:07:13.:07:18.

Sam Allardyce says he won't rule out a return to football,

:07:19.:07:21.

despite admitting an error of judgement which ended his career

:07:22.:07:24.

as England football manager after just one match in charge.

:07:25.:07:26.

He'd been secretly filmed by reporters offering advice

:07:27.:07:29.

on how to bypass the rules on player transfers.

:07:30.:07:32.

He said he'd been the victim of entrapment.

:07:33.:07:34.

Our sports editor Dan Roan's report contains flashing images.

:07:35.:07:39.

Many said Sam Allardyce came with baggage when he was appointed

:07:40.:07:44.

England manager and today, bags backed, he left home,

:07:45.:07:50.

humiliated, for a holiday he hadn't been planning.

:07:51.:07:53.

Stopping to talk for the first time about the undercover newspaper sting

:07:54.:07:55.

On reflection, it was a silly thing to do but, just

:07:56.:08:02.

to let everybody know, I sort of helped out

:08:03.:08:07.

what was somebody I'd known for 30 years.

:08:08.:08:09.

Unfortunately, it was an error in judgment on my behalf and I've

:08:10.:08:12.

But, you know, entrapment has won on this occasion

:08:13.:08:18.

Allardyce became England's shortest serving ever manager

:08:19.:08:27.

after the Daily Telegraph secretly filmed him securing an in principle

:08:28.:08:31.

?400,000 deal with journalists who were posing as businessmen.

:08:32.:08:37.

The FA took a dim view of his words about avoiding transfer regulations

:08:38.:08:40.

and his disparaging remarks about predecessor, Roy Hodgson.

:08:41.:08:52.

With their credibility as the guardians of the game

:08:53.:08:54.

on the line, Allardyce's bosses deemed his ?3 million

:08:55.:08:56.

English football is a bit of a laughing stock,

:08:57.:09:00.

It's very, very embarrassing for all concerned.

:09:01.:09:03.

Got to get results in the next three or four games.

:09:04.:09:08.

The barely believable events of the last 48-hours have left

:09:09.:09:10.

Allardyce's departure raising serious questions over

:09:11.:09:17.

their judgment in appointing him, but also their ability to govern

:09:18.:09:20.

a globalised game that's changing beyond recognition

:09:21.:09:23.

with unprecedented amounts of money and greed, disparate ownership

:09:24.:09:29.

and ever more powerful clubs and agents, and the crisis

:09:30.:09:31.

The Daily Telegraph has today alleged that eight current or former

:09:32.:09:39.

Premier League managers have received bungs for player transfers.

:09:40.:09:43.

Their latest film shows an agent saying he knew an ex-manager that

:09:44.:09:46.

Even the body that represents agents has now admitted

:09:47.:09:51.

One former FA Chairman had this to say.

:09:52.:09:56.

If you looked at the sort of figures that are going out to agents,

:09:57.:10:00.

they are gigantic now and at some stage someone has to say -

:10:01.:10:03.

hang on, this is all money going out of football.

:10:04.:10:05.

With the threat of more damaging headlines to come,

:10:06.:10:09.

today the Government expressed its concern,

:10:10.:10:11.

demanding a full investigation, a warning to the FA that this is now

:10:12.:10:14.

about confidence in the way the game is run and not just one manager's

:10:15.:10:18.

An investigation led by Dutch experts has concluded

:10:19.:10:27.

that the missile which shot down a Malaysian airliner over eastern

:10:28.:10:31.

There were 298 people on flight MH-17 - no-one survived.

:10:32.:10:37.

Most of the passengers were from the Netherlands.

:10:38.:10:40.

The Russian government has dismissed the investigation

:10:41.:10:43.

Our transport correspondent Richard Westcott has been

:10:44.:10:47.

Caught in the crossfire of someone else's war,

:10:48.:10:52.

in busy skies that were meant to be safe.

:10:53.:10:58.

Nearly 300 people were on flight MH17, 80 of them children.

:10:59.:11:03.

It was brought down by a Russian built Buk missile, both sides

:11:04.:11:06.

Now, criminal investigators say they're closing

:11:07.:11:11.

TRANSLATION: On 17th July, flight MH17 was shot down by a Buk

:11:12.:11:23.

missile fired from farmland in Pervomaiskyi and the system

:11:24.:11:25.

was brought in from the Russian Federation territory and then

:11:26.:11:28.

returned to the Russian Federation afterwards.

:11:29.:11:30.

This recreation from investigators suggests the missile launcher

:11:31.:11:34.

crossed over the Russian border on the morning MH17 was shot down.

:11:35.:11:40.

Here's a tapped mobile phone call from 9.22am,

:11:41.:11:45.

an officer tells his commander, "it crossed, crossed the line."

:11:46.:11:48.

Now, the line he's talking about is the Russian border.

:11:49.:11:52.

There's no attempt to hide the launcher, which is sat

:11:53.:11:55.

Lots of people took pictures and films, they put them

:11:56.:11:59.

Here it's parked up in a lay-by in the city of Donetsk.

:12:00.:12:04.

The final destination was a farmer's field near the town of Pervomaiskyi,

:12:05.:12:07.

which was controlled by Russian backed separatists.

:12:08.:12:14.

Now, firing left these scorch marks on the ground and locals took

:12:15.:12:17.

It's then filmed heading back to Russia.

:12:18.:12:20.

Crucially, one of its missiles is now missing.

:12:21.:12:23.

President Putin's top spokesman has reiterated to the BBC that Russia

:12:24.:12:27.

We've been ruling out and I've been ruling out the fact that any Russian

:12:28.:12:37.

Any Russian army members, any Russian troops were inside Ukraine.

:12:38.:12:44.

We're still ruling out that possibility.

:12:45.:12:49.

Pryce Fredericks and his girlfriend Daisy were on board MH17,

:12:50.:12:52.

It's a big step towards the truth, a big step.

:12:53.:12:59.

Of course, we want to know exactly who, names and why, especially why.

:13:00.:13:07.

Investigators say they're done to 100 suspects

:13:08.:13:10.

Even if they do eventually name names, it's by no means certain that

:13:11.:13:15.

whoever did this will face a court of law.

:13:16.:13:18.

The US Congress has voted overwhelmingly to reject

:13:19.:13:25.

President Obama's veto of a bill that would allow relatives

:13:26.:13:28.

of the victims of the 9/11 attacks to sue Saudi Arabia.

:13:29.:13:31.

It's the first time in his presidency that Mr Obama's veto

:13:32.:13:34.

Relatives of the victims of 9/11 want to sue Saudi Arabia

:13:35.:13:40.

over its alleged backing of the hijackers.

:13:41.:13:44.

Mr Obama had argued that such lawsuits would damage

:13:45.:13:46.

The US Secretary of State, John Kerry, has warned his Russian

:13:47.:13:53.

counterpart that Washington will end talks on Syria

:13:54.:13:55.

unless Moscow stops the bombing of Aleppo.

:13:56.:13:59.

In a phone call with Sergei Lavrov, Mr Kerry said the US held Russia

:14:00.:14:03.

responsible for the use of incendiary and bunker

:14:04.:14:05.

Today, the UN Secretary General said conditions there had become worse

:14:06.:14:11.

Shimon Peres, the former President of Israel and recipient

:14:12.:14:18.

of the Nobel Peace Prize, has died at the age of 93.

:14:19.:14:20.

He was one of the defining figures of the Israeli state and played

:14:21.:14:24.

an essential role in forging a political deal with

:14:25.:14:26.

He'd been in hospital in recent weeks after suffering a stroke.

:14:27.:14:32.

Mr Peres was one of the generation of Israeli politicians who laid

:14:33.:14:35.

the foundations of the new nation in 1948, as Orla Guerin

:14:36.:14:38.

Israel has lost its eminent elder statesman, born before the state and

:14:39.:14:54.

one of its great defenders. Shimon Peres was a key figure in the Middle

:14:55.:14:59.

East and on the world stage, where he was celebrated as a tireless

:15:00.:15:04.

campaigner for peace. There were tributes today at home and abroad.

:15:05.:15:10.

Shimon devoted his life to our nation and to the pursuit of peace.

:15:11.:15:15.

He set his gaze on the future. He did so much to protect our people.

:15:16.:15:20.

He worked so his last days for peace and a better future for all. The US

:15:21.:15:26.

Secretary of State, said a towering figure was gone, but his influence

:15:27.:15:34.

would remain. Everybody who knew him admired him, who was inspired by

:15:35.:15:39.

him, and by his example for the pursuit of justice and peace, will

:15:40.:15:44.

continue, I know, to remain inspired and motivated by him. The former

:15:45.:15:50.

Middle East envoy, Tony Blair, said he was a friend, mentor and

:15:51.:15:57.

inspiration. He was someone that I, you know, will always respect and

:15:58.:16:04.

cherish. He always used to say to me, anyone who occupies a high

:16:05.:16:07.

office in a government, they always have to work out - do they want to

:16:08.:16:10.

be in the guest book or the history book. I think it's pretty clear that

:16:11.:16:16.

his place belongs in the history book. His history began in Poland in

:16:17.:16:23.

1923. As a child Peres came to the Holy Land when it was still under

:16:24.:16:31.

British rule. He worked alongside David Ben-Gurion, Israel's founding

:16:32.:16:35.

father, negotiating deals that helped the new nation become a

:16:36.:16:40.

formidable military power. He was the prime mover behind Israel's

:16:41.:16:45.

nuclear programme and, initially, a strong supporter of Israeli

:16:46.:16:50.

settlements on occupied Palestinian land. At the Israeli parliament this

:16:51.:16:55.

evening, flags flying at half-mast for the last of the generation who

:16:56.:17:00.

built the state. Shimon Peres was first elected to parliament in 1959

:17:01.:17:07.

here, at the Knesset, for decades he helped to shape Israeli life. He

:17:08.:17:12.

held virtually every major post and during his long years in politics,

:17:13.:17:17.

his political views changed, the man who was a security hawk became a

:17:18.:17:26.

champion of peace. Peres was one of the architects of the Oslo Accords,

:17:27.:17:30.

Israel's first peace deal with the Palestinians, which promised so

:17:31.:17:37.

much. What we are doing today is more than signing an agreement, it

:17:38.:17:46.

is a revolution yesterday a dream, today a commitment. He shared a

:17:47.:17:51.

Nobel Prize with the late Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat,

:17:52.:17:56.

and the then Israeli Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin. Today, he was

:17:57.:18:03.

described as a partner for peace by the Palestinian President, Mahmoud

:18:04.:18:06.

Abbas, but others were more critical. Everybody here remembers

:18:07.:18:10.

him as the man who lost the opportunity for real peace by

:18:11.:18:14.

deceiving the Palestinians with the Oslo agreement and ending up

:18:15.:18:18.

deceiving the course of peace. At the end of his long life, peace

:18:19.:18:25.

eluded Shimon Peres. Now that he's gone, according to President Obama.

:18:26.:18:27.

A light has gone out. The tributes to the Israeli

:18:28.:18:34.

statesman, Shimon Peres, Our Middle East editor,

:18:35.:18:36.

Jeremy Bowen, is with me. Let's talk about his contribution

:18:37.:18:43.

and legacy. What is your assessment? He was a man who throughout a long

:18:44.:18:48.

career did a number of things. He never waivered from his desire for

:18:49.:18:52.

Israeli to be the strongest power in the region. So he did a lot to build

:18:53.:18:56.

up the armed forces, to make sure that they got to a place where they

:18:57.:19:01.

could get nuclear weapons, even though they don't acknowledge they

:19:02.:19:04.

have got them. People know they are there. Later in life he decided that

:19:05.:19:10.

the other side had changed, that a deal was possible with the

:19:11.:19:13.

Palestinians with other Arabs as well. So he didn't waiver from

:19:14.:19:21.

wanting Israel to be strong, but he decided peace was a good idea. It

:19:22.:19:25.

hasn't worked out. The dream... We were looking at that, those pictures

:19:26.:19:30.

23 years ago on the White House lawn. It seems like a world away. I

:19:31.:19:35.

remember looking at that. The thing about the Israelis and the

:19:36.:19:38.

Palestinians involved in that at that time they really thought the

:19:39.:19:44.

world was changing. Sadly, it did not. He is is a man who came to

:19:45.:19:51.

Israel as an immigrant, when it was under British rule, when it was an

:19:52.:19:55.

under developed society, with the exception of some cities, now he

:19:56.:20:01.

goes to his grave seeing, before he died, he the remarkable

:20:02.:20:03.

transformation which he was a big part of. I think that's something

:20:04.:20:08.

which certainly is where he sits in Israeli history, that he was part of

:20:09.:20:13.

the development of the state from the very beginning and his death

:20:14.:20:17.

closes that chapter. Jeremy, thanks very much again. Jeremy Bowen there.

:20:18.:20:23.

A brief look at some of the day's other news stories.

:20:24.:20:26.

Ben Emmerson QC, the most senior lawyer working on the child abuse

:20:27.:20:29.

inquiry for England and Wales, has been suspended.

:20:30.:20:31.

A statement released by the inquiry said there had been concerns

:20:32.:20:33.

about aspects of his leadership, which were now being investigated.

:20:34.:20:38.

Junior doctors in England have lost their High Court battle

:20:39.:20:41.

challenging the legality of the new contract which is set

:20:42.:20:43.

The judge rejected arguments that the Health Secretary, Jeremy

:20:44.:20:47.

The Department of Health has welcomed the ruling and called

:20:48.:20:51.

There's continuing speculation about the future of Germany's

:20:52.:20:59.

largest bank, Deutsche, after it was forced to deny

:21:00.:21:06.

that it was in talks with the German government

:21:07.:21:08.

The bank has seen its share price collapse in recent weeks over

:21:09.:21:12.

worries about its profitability, bad debts and the huge fine it

:21:13.:21:15.

faces for a mis-selling scandal in America.

:21:16.:21:18.

The body which represents the British car industry says

:21:19.:21:20.

continued membership of the European single market is the only way

:21:21.:21:23.

It's the strongest warning yet from a major trade association

:21:24.:21:26.

The car industry contributes nearly ?20 billion a year to the British

:21:27.:21:33.

economy, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders.

:21:34.:21:38.

Our business editor, Simon Jack, reports from the Paris Motor Show.

:21:39.:21:40.

A Tour de France for the UK's car industry.

:21:41.:21:44.

Today, in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, British-made

:21:45.:21:48.

cars, from Aston Martin to Vauxhall, were lined up alongside each other.

:21:49.:21:51.

This was no showroom though, this was delivering a message -

:21:52.:21:55.

only continued membership of the European single market can

:21:56.:21:58.

The future success and our current strength, and we're incredibly

:21:59.:22:05.

successful at the moment, that is under threat if we're not

:22:06.:22:07.

People will say - we buy a lot of German cars,

:22:08.:22:11.

it's a very important market for foreign manufacturers,

:22:12.:22:15.

they will be crackers to get into a tit-for-tat tariff war.

:22:16.:22:17.

Things are going to be OK, a way will be found?

:22:18.:22:20.

However, if you're talking about building cars and developing

:22:21.:22:25.

cars in the UK, you need to be part of the single market.

:22:26.:22:28.

Even if you had a free trade agreement, you would still have

:22:29.:22:31.

to complete all the administration and processes of having

:22:32.:22:33.

Anything that adds cost makes us uncompetitive.

:22:34.:22:40.

The simplest way to leave is also the biggest threat to jobs,

:22:41.:22:43.

falling back on the rules of the World Trade Organisation

:22:44.:22:47.

could place tariffs of 10% on cars and components,

:22:48.:22:50.

a terrible result, according to one of the UK's biggest car makers.

:22:51.:22:56.

You know, if we would have, say 10% duties to play on parts,

:22:57.:22:59.

for instance, that is something customers would have to pay.

:23:00.:23:01.

Also, if we export to Europe and become less competitive,

:23:02.:23:06.

you know maybe we could sell less, we would have fewer jobs in the UK.

:23:07.:23:10.

Now publicly the big companies are saying, let's wait and see,

:23:11.:23:13.

but privately, behind closed doors, like here at the Eiffel Tower,

:23:14.:23:16.

they are worried that the perceived increased probability of a hard

:23:17.:23:22.

Brexit, that is out of the European single market, could mean tariffs,

:23:23.:23:25.

it could mean a restriction on the movement of people or both.

:23:26.:23:28.

They're also worried that this whole process could drag

:23:29.:23:32.

on for years and those are years in which they need to start making

:23:33.:23:35.

decisions on where the UK is going to fit into their European,

:23:36.:23:38.

into their global manufacturing strategy.

:23:39.:23:43.

Today's message was aimed at the UK Government.

:23:44.:23:45.

Trade Minister, Mark Garnier, said he understood the concerns,

:23:46.:23:48.

but he didn't seem to be able to offer much reassurance.

:23:49.:23:52.

We can't guarantee anything but, as I say, we're not going to provide

:23:53.:24:02.

a running commentary on what Brexit is going to look like,

:24:03.:24:05.

but there are elements that we need to protect.

:24:06.:24:07.

In the case of the automotive sector, those things we must

:24:08.:24:09.

protect and try to achieve is zero tariff access.

:24:10.:24:12.

A demand to remain in the single market seems unrealistic when even

:24:13.:24:14.

hoping for the desired clarity still seems a long way off.

:24:15.:24:17.

There are only six countries in the world where abortion

:24:18.:24:23.

is unconditionally illegal, where a woman can be prosecuted

:24:24.:24:25.

for terminating a pregnancy whatever the circumstances.

:24:26.:24:29.

One of those countries is Chile, where the country's first ever

:24:30.:24:36.

female head of state is now trying to change the law, introducing

:24:37.:24:39.

a Bill to allow abortion in certain limited circumstances.

:24:40.:24:41.

But Michelle Bachelet is facing some powerful political

:24:42.:24:50.

Chile is a sophisticated nation in which some old attitudes endure.

:24:51.:24:59.

Abortion here is completely banned, forcing women sometimes

:25:00.:25:01.

There are private clinics and black market drugs, but not for the poor.

:25:02.:25:05.

Pro choice groups, in shock campaign videos, say a DIY abortion

:25:06.:25:08.

I spoke to two women who found they were both carrying foetuses

:25:09.:25:23.

which had no possibility of survival.

:25:24.:25:26.

Neither was allowed an abortion, even though Andrea's

:25:27.:25:29.

Doctors told Palla to pray, both had to carry their babies

:25:30.:25:34.

for months and give birth to them without any hope they'd live.

:25:35.:25:38.

TRANSLATION: I felt just like a zombie,

:25:39.:25:41.

like The Walking Dead, who just had to get up every day

:25:42.:25:45.

TRANSLATION: For my part, I felt powerless, having to live

:25:46.:25:53.

this process after having my daughter declared unviable.

:25:54.:25:57.

I suffered unnecessarily, not just me, but my family

:25:58.:26:00.

President Michelle Bachelet is on a mission to change things.

:26:01.:26:10.

Previous governments have tried, but her Bill, to allow abortion

:26:11.:26:13.

in some cases, has gone much further than any other and has

:26:14.:26:16.

I told her what had happened to Paola and Andrea.

:26:17.:26:25.

It's awful because I have had friends who have gone

:26:26.:26:28.

Usually, it really, sort of, emotionally destroys the person.

:26:29.:26:32.

There are some people who might be able to live with it,

:26:33.:26:35.

and that's OK, but there's a lot of people who,

:26:36.:26:38.

really, are destroyed emotionally afterwards and their lives

:26:39.:26:41.

So that's why we do believe that they should

:26:42.:26:56.

But change is slow and President Bachelet's Bill

:26:57.:26:59.

It only allows for abortion in three particular circumstances -

:27:00.:27:03.

if a woman's life is in danger, if the pregnancy is the result

:27:04.:27:06.

of a rape or if the baby has no chance of survival.

:27:07.:27:09.

None of this goes down well with the church which fears the Bill

:27:10.:27:12.

could eventually usher in abortion on demand.

:27:13.:27:14.

Gloria is one, she was raped as a child by a cousin

:27:15.:27:23.

The family arranged for a termination, which she says

:27:24.:27:27.

TRANSLATION: In my case, if I had a choice, I would have

:27:28.:27:35.

had my daughter, but it wasn't my choice.

:27:36.:27:39.

Abortions scar you for life, before and after.

:27:40.:27:48.

It scars you negatively for life and nothing good

:27:49.:27:51.

Her church is part of the organised campaign against the government's

:27:52.:27:57.

Gloria tried to take her own life several times and her church has

:27:58.:28:03.

A typical service here is as much rock-and-roll as religion,

:28:04.:28:09.

but the message on abortion is clear.

:28:10.:28:20.

Michelle Bachelet wants to change both the law and entrenched

:28:21.:28:23.

attitudes in this male dominated society.

:28:24.:28:28.

Women are seen as citizens of second-class and not full citizens.

:28:29.:28:33.

She faces political as well as social challenges,

:28:34.:28:35.

but Chile could now be on the cusp of giving its women

:28:36.:28:40.

the choices their mothers were denied.

:28:41.:28:41.

Tonight's football, and in the Champions League there's

:28:57.:28:58.

been an action-packed match in Glasgow between Celtic

:28:59.:29:00.

and Manchester City while Arsenal took on the Swiss champions,

:29:01.:29:03.

Our sports correspondent, Joe Wilson, was watching.

:29:04.:29:05.

It takes something to stand out in the crowd.

:29:06.:29:09.

Amongst 60,000 voices, one which sold 100 million records.

:29:10.:29:13.

Celtic's atmosphere may be unique, the players have to respond.

:29:14.:29:18.

Anyone shouting "offside" would not be heard.

:29:19.:29:27.

Nine minutes later, Celtic's players looking for an offside flag,

:29:28.:29:29.

The evening began frantic and then just accelerated.

:29:30.:29:36.

The last touch came from a City boot, Raheem Sterling didn't mean

:29:37.:29:42.

that goal, he knew plenty about the next one.

:29:43.:29:45.

Quick, back down the other end, 2-2 - we'd not played half an hour.

:29:46.:29:49.

Now this was getting ridiculous, Dembele,

:29:50.:29:52.

again, second-half, that's 3-2, isn't it?

:29:53.:29:55.

And, guess what, the goals finally stopped.

:29:56.:30:03.

A thrilling draw to Rod's choreography.

:30:04.:30:07.

Theo Walcott scored both Arsenal's goals in their 2-0 win over Basel,

:30:08.:30:10.

at a time when England need someone to inspire English players,

:30:11.:30:13.

third favourite for the England job is Arsene Wenger.

:30:14.:30:16.
