The US First Lady, Michelle Obama, has launched a scathing attack | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
on the Republican Presidential candidate, Donald Trump, | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
accusing him of "sexually predatory behaviour" that is shocking | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
Meanwhile, women have been lining up to accuse Trump of groping | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
Tonight the billionaire businessman has gone on the offensive, | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
denouncing all the claims as "absolutely false". | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
Our North America Editor, Jon Sopel, reports on an increasingly bitter | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
This woman talking to the New York Times recounts how | :02:23. | :02:31. | |
she was on a flight and moved to first class. | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
She found herself sitting next to Donald Trump. | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
He was like an octopus, it was like he had six arms, | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
When he started putting his hand up my skirt that was it. | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
Two allegations regarding sexual misconduct in his | :02:44. | :02:55. | |
A writer for people magazine had gone to interview him and his wife | :02:56. | :03:08. | |
on their first wedding anniversary. Melania are Trump was heavily | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
pregnant and gone up to change when the reporter claims he pounced. She | :03:13. | :03:13. | |
writes: At a rally in Florida, Donald Trump | :03:14. | :03:34. | |
painted himself as the victim, where everyone was ganging up at him and | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
he furiously dismissed the allegations. These claims are all | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
fabricated. They're pure fiction, and they're outright lies. | :03:43. | :03:52. | |
These events never, ever happened and the people that said people | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
meekly, fully understand - you take a look at these people. You study | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
these people, and you'll understand also. So why are all these stories | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
appearing now? Trump support remembers convinced there is | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
effectively a conspiracy between the liberal media and the Clinton | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
campaign but this many stories, from so many different outlets from | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
across the country? Well, the women themselves have a simpler | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
explanation. They were enraged by Trump's denial | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
at the third time of asking in Sunday's presidential debate, that | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
he had ever made unwanted sexual advances towards women. REPORTER: | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
For the record, are you saying what you said on 11 years ago that you | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
did not kiss women or grope women without respect. I have great | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
respect for women Have you ever done those things? Women have respect for | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
me. I will tell you, no I have not. My shell Obama for one isn't buying | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
the line it was idle chat This wasn't just locker room banter. This | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
was a power individual, speaking freely and openly, about sexually | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
predatory behaviour. And actually bragging about kissing | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
and groping women, using language so obscene that many of us were worried | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
about our children hearing it when we turned on the TV. And these | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
comments to a group of ten-year-olds at Trump Tower aren't helping his | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
ka.s I'm going to be dating her in ten years, can you believe it? ? I'm | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
offended every time he opens his mouth. I don't like him at all. I | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
don't respect him He is awful, he is against women. He is always putting | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
women down. I think, I think he's a scum bag. | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
Donald Trump is doing everything he can to switch attention away from | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
himself and making this about a system that he says is rigged. | :05:49. | :05:56. | |
Well, Jon, he has come out fighting, as you say, he is hitting back hard. | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
Are you getting any sense that the tide is beginning to turn now? | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
Fiona, if you just look at the situation on the ground. We learned | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
today a key battle ground state, Virginia, Donald Trump is pulling | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
resources from there. In Wisconsin, another swing state, his polling | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
numbers among women have fallen through the floor since the comments | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
last week and in other battle ground states it is pretty much the same | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
story but Donald Trump is trying to say - look, I may be about to lose | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
this election, it seems, but there are reasons for it. What he did | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
today was give awe full-scale conspiracy theory - give you a | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
full-scale conspiracy they ary. In terges he said, the media, along | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
with Wall Street and major organisations were working in | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
concert to deny the American people a Trump victory. He said at the | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
epicentre of this conspiracy was Hillary Clinton. He said he posed an | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
existential threat to the American system. He went on - they, the media | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
will seek to destroy everything about you, including your | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
reputation, but I am prepared to take the slings and arrows for you, | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
my supporters. Now, one other thing important to add - the numbers | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
attending his rallies have not dipped at all. The enthusiasm for | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
him of those attending is still as great. And the numbers of people in | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
America, who believe the message that there is this conspiracy, is | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
still significant. It's just not significant enough at | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
the moment to deliver Donald Trump a presidential election victory. | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
Scotland's First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, has | :07:31. | :07:31. | |
made her strongest move yet for a second referendum | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
She has announced that consultation on legislation for a new referendum | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
She told the SNP conference in Glasgow that the Scottish people | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
should be able to reconsider independence in the light | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
Our Scotland Editor, Sarah Smith, is in Glasgow for us tonight. | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
Given that this is just a consultation at this stage, | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
how significant would you say this is? | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
Well, Nicola Sturgeon is making preparations for a second referendum | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
on Scottish independence. Without definitely saying that she will call | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
for one. Truth is, she is not certain that if that were to happen | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
soon, she would win it. But nonce, she did want to send a clear message | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
today that - but innocence, she did want it send a clear message that if | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
she does t she'll do what is necessary to protect Scotland's | :08:25. | :08:25. | |
interests. Welcome the leader of the Scottish | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
National Party and First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is angry | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
and she didn't mince Accusing the Tories of xenophobia, | :08:32. | :08:41. | |
calling them a disgrace and delivering a stark warning, | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
that if the UK Government doesn't listen to her on Brexit, | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
she's prepared to hold another If you think, for one single second, | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
that I am not serious about doing what it takes to protect | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
Scotland's interests, I can confirm today | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
that the independence referendum bill will be published | :08:58. | :09:06. | |
for consultation next week. Party members were as delighted, | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
as they were surprised. Nicola Sturgeon's speech | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
here in Glasgow was really a direct message to the Prime Minister | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
in Downing Street. A clear warning that if Theresa May | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
doesn't listen to her concerns about Brexit, then Sturgeon | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
could demand a second SNP members are accustomed | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
to being told to be patient, not to rush | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
into a referendum they might lose. But the mood of the party leadership | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
has clearly changed. Is this a threat to the Prime | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
Minister that she must listen to the Scottish Government, | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
or they will call a second No, it's a promise | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
to the Prime Minister. We promise that we will stand up | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
for the interests of We will do everything we have to do | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
to protect our place in Europe. If that's what it takes, | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
that's what we will do. Outside the conference centre, | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
the landscape looks Polls suggest no | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
significant increase Since the fall in the oil price, | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
the economic outlook But Nicola Sturgeon says it's a hard | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
Brexit that will damage Here in Scotland, 80,000 | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
jobs could be lost. Wages could be hit by up to ?2000 | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
and growth in the Just along the Clyde | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
in the Riverside Museum, Scottish voters have their own ideas | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
about what Nicola Sturgeon Work on getting us | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
independence from England. The people of Scotland voted to stay | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
in the UK and the people of the UK There is not much we can do | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
about Brexit now, but you have to make sure you have a good NHS and | :10:44. | :10:52. | |
you've got a good education system. If voters think that making plans | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
for another vote on independence means the Scottish Government might | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
neglect the country's schools or hospitals, | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
that certainly won't help them The battle over the cost | :11:01. | :11:01. | |
of Brexit between Britain's biggest supermarket, Tesco, | :11:02. | :11:13. | |
and the consumer goods Unilever had wanted to push up | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
the price of its products, like Marmite and Pot Noodle, | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
because of the sharp fall in the value of the pound, | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
following the vote to leave the EU. This evening, both companies said | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
the situation had been resolved. As our Economics Editor, | :11:28. | :11:29. | |
Kamal Ahmed reports, there may be more | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
price hikes to come. Tonight, a sort of uneasy peace. | :11:32. | :11:42. | |
Tesco and Unilever demanded that price rises by the maker of mar | :11:43. | :11:52. | |
giet, Ben Jerries... They reached a truce. | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
What we are seeing here is a supermarket in the UK, and an | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
importer in the UK, arguing over who is going to accept the cost to them | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
of the falling pound. Neither of them really want to pass it on to | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
customers if they can avoid it but they don't want to absorb it into | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
their own pocket. Unilever's claim was simple, it is Koss us more to | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
import goods we need higher prices from Tesco to compensate. Tesco said | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
no and suddenly some of the famous brands disappeared from test Joe | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
online. This has been a PR coup for Tesco. I'm told it was Unilever that | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
backed down. It is not just anner a ultimate between a supplier of | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
Marmite and a very big supermarket i.s implications go far wider. Yes, | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
we import a lot of food but we also import a lot of other things, like | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
fuel and there, prices are already starting to rise. We could be on a | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
new road towards inflation, price rises shall as what Britain imports | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
becomes more expensive. In the 1970s, inflation approached 30% and | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
since then, has been on a gradual downward march. After the financial | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
crisis, the economy slowed so rapidly, inflation dipped below 0%. | :13:13. | :13:22. | |
But with sterling falling in value, many economists believe inflation | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
could be up as high as 3% by the end of next year. Ultimately there maybe | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
inflation coming into the UK economy, and that means the | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
Government has to redouble its efforts to invest in infrastructure | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
to counter that effect. This they can do that, if we can find other | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
ways to grow, then that will more than offset any of the problems that | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
might be caused by inflation coming threw from Brexit. He says stopping | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
the jams and investing in major projects like road improvements will | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
boost the economy and if the economy is strong, then wage growth is | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
strong. That makes inflation less damaging. | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
And we could be doing a lot more of this... | :13:57. | :14:07. | |
A 1990s campaign for Made in Britain, suddenly appealing again as | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
imports become more expensive. Speaking today, the Government | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
insisted the economy is strong. There are a whole host of things | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
that companies are looking at, in terms of their investments. I think | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
what's really encouraging for all of us, is that since the date on 23rd | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
June, we've continued to see strong investment into the UK. | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
No price rises yet for these shoppers but the battle between | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
Tesco and Unilever is a sign of something much larger. If inflation | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
does rise, that will bring the effect of the fall in the pound into | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
everyone's living room. There are safety concerns | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
about two-thirds of A departments in hospitals in England, | :14:45. | :14:46. | |
according to the watchdog, the Care It's blaming the crisis in care | :14:47. | :14:48. | |
in A mainly on a lack of care for the elderly, which is causing | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
a rise in emergency admissions It's a view echoed by England's most | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
senior emergency doctor who says the NHS is on its knees and parts | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
"will implode" this winter. I'm one of the emergency doctors | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
here, how are you doing? Another challenging day | :15:05. | :15:13. | |
at the Queen's Hospital in Romford. It has one of the biggest emergency | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
departments in the country and there's no | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
respite, no let up. We have vast numbers of patients | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
coming in through the doors. In a place like this, | :15:26. | :15:36. | |
we can see up to 600, The numbers are definitely | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
a big issue, shall I say. The last CQC inspection here said | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
the department needed to improve But more patients, | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
many old and frail, The Queen's Hospital | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
here in Romford is not alone. The latest CQC report shows that | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
a rising demand in services and very tight budgets means hundreds | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
of hospitals across England Today's report looks at the state | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
of care across the health and social Nearly two thirds of A units | :16:04. | :16:11. | |
were judged to be inadequate or requiring improvement | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
when it comes to safety. And hospitals are seeing | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
many more older people. Admissions of those over-85 have | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
increased by one third But there has also been a 26% drop | :16:25. | :16:26. | |
in the number of older people getting care from councils over | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
the past four years. People who should be getting adult | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
social care are either not getting a service or they are presenting | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
to the NHS, or we see Accident Emergency attendances up, | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
emergency referrals being up and particularly older people | :16:46. | :16:47. | |
delayed in hospital. This could be part of the answer | :16:48. | :16:56. | |
is easing the pressure on hospitals. Granby hub in Liverpool offers care | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
to those like Ellen McNaught, who was well enough to be discharged | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
from hospital but even too frail What was meant to be | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
a four-week stay for Ellen has I need two carers at least to use | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
this equipment and help me. So, other people probably | :17:11. | :17:18. | |
need the same. You know, we just can't get carers, | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
so we are taken to a place like this where people can come in and get | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
that little bit of respite The Department of Health says | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
the system is coping well, given the pressures, | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
but leading doctors point to waiting times in A E this summer that | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
were worse than in During these winter months | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
we are going to see extreme pressure on hospitals and I think | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
we could see hospitals falling over as we face | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
the winter pressures. The picture today is one of a system | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
that's on the edge. Bob Dylan has won the Nobel | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
Prize for Literature. It's the first time - | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
in 115 years of the prize - that the award has been | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
given to a musician. The legendary singer-songwriter now | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
ranks alongside former winners and giants of literature such | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
as Hemingway, Steinbeck and Sartre. Dylan was awarded the accolade | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
for having created "new poetic expressions within the great | :18:17. | :18:18. | |
American song tradition". Our Arts Editor Will Gompertz has | :18:19. | :18:20. | |
the story. # Johnny's in the basement | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
mixing up the medicine #. As Bob Dylan said himself, | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
he has a way with words. His lyrics have been sung, | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
quoted and discussed the world over, and today it earned him | :18:32. | :18:33. | |
the Nobel Prize for literature. For having created new poetic | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
expressions within the great You got a sense of the | :18:41. | :18:50. | |
austere Swedish Academy was stepping out of its | :18:51. | :18:58. | |
literary comfort zone. Does Bob Dylan really | :18:59. | :18:59. | |

for the uninitiated. If you want to start listening | :19:02. | :19:09. | |
or reading, you may start with Blonde on Blonde, | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
the album from 1966. an extraordinary example | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
of his brilliant way of rhyming and putting together refrains | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
and his pictorial Bob Dylan's position as an iconic | :19:24. | :19:25. | |
musician who helped elevate the status of pop music from an | :19:26. | :19:35. | |
ephemeral disposable entertainment into a bona fide artform | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
is well-established. # The answer my friend | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
is blowing in the wind # The answer is blowing | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
in the wind #. Becoming a Nobel laureate | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
takes him into another realm, to join an elite group | :19:52. | :19:53. | |
of the world's greatest literary writers from novelist | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
Alice Munro to the late poet TS His work is timeless and it's | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
gonna reverberate for not just years or decades - | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
for centuries. And in that I do think | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
it is incredibly valid. That he gets the Nobel Prize | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
for This is not someone that is a song | :20:10. | :20:11. | |

has that knack for coining a phrase that becomes | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
part of everyday speech. He has his own literary voice, | :20:45. | :20:46. | |
his own sense of meter and rhyme, He is a contemporary chronicler, | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
storyteller, moralist and poet whose work and words have | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
changed attitudes and lives. The new elected head | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
of the United Nations has said with so many conflicts around | :21:00. | :21:07. | |
the globe, we are facing a very difficult moment | :21:08. | :21:09. | |
in the history of our world. Antonio Guterres, a former prime | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
minister of Portugal, said the conflict in Syria | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
is "breaking his heart" and that But with the city of Aleppo plunged | :21:16. | :21:17. | |
into some of the worst violence in the country's | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
five year civil war, what can the UN - | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
and Mr Guterres - do? He's been speaking to our | :21:28. | :21:29. | |

tasked with ending the world's most For five long years, | :21:32. | :21:35. | |

on what's called the most Antonio Guterres, | :21:48. | :22:00. | |
former Portuguese Prime For years he berated the world | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
to do more for refugees. Because the Syrians | :22:04. | :22:11. | |
deserve much more. Now he must focus on stopping | :22:12. | :22:13. | |
the wars But as he gives his | :22:14. | :22:15. | |
first interview, some, including Britain's Foreign | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
Secretary, say there is more talk of The role of the Secretary | :22:24. | :22:25. | |
General is to try to be an honest broker, | :22:26. | :22:31. | |

on some issues there are very dramatic contradictions | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
which cannot be breached. Today, from the US, | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
call for Mr Guterres to strengthen this house. | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
The countries of the world here reflecting, I believe, | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
the longings and the urgent needs of our citizens, | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
are calling on the UN and, by extension, the Secretary | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
General, to do more than this institution has ever done before. | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
71 years ago the UN emerged from the ashes | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
of war with a promise of | :24:01. | :24:02. | |
Competing interests shaped it from the start. | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
They are all backing Mr Guterres now, but he knows big | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
A brief look at some of the day's other news stories. | :24:10. | :24:19. | |
The Nigerian government says that 21 schoolgirls - | :24:20. | :24:21. | |
kidnapped more than two years ago by Islamist militants - | :24:22. | :24:23. | |
Boko Haram abducted more than 270 girls from a school in Chibok, | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
The government has denied four imprisoned militants | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
Figures from the Home Office show a sharp rise in reports of hate | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
The statistics - from police forces in England and Wales - | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
show a 41% increase in offences in July - | :24:48. | :24:49. | |
A high court case has begun about whether the government needs | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
Parliament's approval to leave the European Union. | :24:54. | :24:55. | |
One of the lead claimants is investment fund manager | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
Gina Miller, who wanted the UK to stay in the EU. | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
The government called it an attempt to stifle the will of the people. | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
A gorilla is safely back in its enclosure after escaping | :25:09. | :25:10. | |
Visitors were locked inside cafes while armed police were called | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
The zoo said the gorilla - called Kumbuka - | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
He was tranquilised and returned to his enclosure. | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
The world's longest reigning monarch, the king of Thailand, | :25:27. | :25:28. | |
It's prompted an outpouring of grief across the country. | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
Revered as the father of the nation, the king is considered by many Thai | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
The country will now observe a period of mourning | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
His death means the Queen is now the world's longest serving monarch. | :25:43. | :25:50. | |
Our South Asia correspondent, Jonathan Head reports from Bangkok. | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
It was a moment everyone here knew was coming but few | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
The long-expected announcement from the palace, that the king | :25:58. | :26:08. | |
who had reigned and inspired them for 70 years, had died. | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
Still the cry went out - "Long live the king." | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
Well, we've seen an intensely emotional reaction here to the news | :26:19. | :26:28. | |
The unquestioned reverence to the monarchy in Thailand is not | :26:29. | :26:36. | |
what it was, but the emotional bond that people across this country | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
feel, to a man they still refer to as "Father of the nation", | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
His death will leave an enormous void, one which may well have | :26:43. | :26:52. | |
consequences for this country's political stability. | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
He'd acceded to the throne when the monarchy was | :26:59. | :27:00. | |
weak and Thailand an undeveloped rural country. | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
But by allying himself with | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
a succession of military governments, he rebuilt the | :27:09. | :27:10. | |
Tapping into Thai traditions of semidivine | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
Yet he was passionately interested in rural development, | :27:16. | :27:22. | |
travelling extensively to promote his own projects. | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
During the Cold War he used his royal stature to | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
help shore up the central government against a tenacious Communist | :27:33. | :27:35. | |
He is credited with mediating several political crises. | :27:36. | :27:41. | |
Yet later in his reign the monarchy was accused of taking sides in | :27:42. | :27:44. | |
By the time of his death he had been out of public sight for | :27:45. | :27:51. | |
Yet many Thais remember him as the ruler that brought them | :27:52. | :27:58. | |
She's the poster girl of British track and field, a World Champion, | :27:59. | :28:11. | |
Olympic champion at London 2012 and she won silver | :28:12. | :28:14. | |
at Rio this year - but today Jessica Ennis Hill | :28:15. | :28:17. | |
announced her retirement from athletics. | :28:18. | :28:22. | |
The heptathlete said she'd made some 'amazing memories' | :28:23. | :28:24. | |
Jessica Ennis-Hill has packed more into her career than most of us | :28:25. | :28:37. | |
could dream of but she knows now is the time to say goodbye. | :28:38. | :28:40. | |
She'd already been the heptathlon World Champion but London 2012 | :28:41. | :28:56. | |
On Super Saturday the nation held its breath as Ennis-Hill | :28:57. | :29:02. | |
cemented her status as its poster girl. | :29:03. | :29:04. | |
COMMENTATOR: Jessica Ennis is the Olympic champion. | :29:05. | :29:09. | |
It catapulted her into a world of celebrity, and, of course, | :29:10. | :29:12. | |
After the Olympics, though, came a different challenge, | :29:13. | :29:17. | |
becoming a wife and then mother to son, Reggie, | :29:18. | :29:21. | |
yet she came back to become World Champion again last year, | :29:22. | :29:24. | |
and in Rio a silver medal made the tears flow as she | :29:25. | :29:27. | |
You know, I've got to go away now and make a big | :29:28. | :29:33. | |
These years have been amazing, just really proud. | :29:34. | :29:40. | |
Those who know the pressure of competing at the highest level | :29:41. | :29:43. | |
understand why she's bowed out at the very top. | :29:44. | :29:46. | |
This was the scene of her greatest triumph and fans were hoping to see | :29:47. | :29:49. | |
more of her next year when London hosts the World | :29:50. | :29:52. | |
But those who competed under the same pressure, | :29:53. | :29:58. | |
say they understand why she bowed out at the very top. | :29:59. | :30:02. | |
She's achieved something that most athletes only ever dream about. | :30:03. | :30:04. | |
Now she has the next however many years ahead, | :30:05. | :30:09. | |
hopefully being inspirational, supportive and motivational | :30:10. | :30:10. | |
Humble, hard working but fiercely determined, Ennis-Hill will go down | :30:11. | :30:19. | |
in British sporting history, as the ultimate all-rounder. | :30:20. | :30:25. | |
