:00:00. > :00:08.Tonight at Ten, after decades of debate, a Government decision
:00:09. > :00:20.to expand Heathrow Airport by building a third runway.
:00:21. > :00:24.The decision is highly controversial but ministers say it's right for the
:00:25. > :00:27.economy and proves that the UK is open for business.
:00:28. > :00:29.We believe a third runway for Heathrow is the best
:00:30. > :00:34.It's going to create better connectivity to the different
:00:35. > :00:36.regions of the United Kingdom and to provide the best
:00:37. > :00:40.But there's strong opposition to the plans, with some ministers
:00:41. > :00:42.declaring that the third runway will never happen.
:00:43. > :00:45.I think that Heathrow in the long-term is not in the right
:00:46. > :00:51.place and I'm afraid a third runway is undeliverable.
:00:52. > :00:55.For the people of Harmondsworth, near Heathrow, it's what they'd been
:00:56. > :01:03.dreading, but they say they'll fight the plans all the way.
:01:04. > :01:04.And one Conservative MP has resigned in protest,
:01:05. > :01:18.a special report with Iraqi troops on the verge of entering the city.
:01:19. > :01:20.Until today, the ground I'm standing on used to be
:01:21. > :01:21.part of a self-declared Islamic caliphate.
:01:22. > :01:24.This is now the front line in the battle against IS.
:01:25. > :01:26.In Calais, work starts on dismantling the migrant camp.
:01:27. > :01:29.4,000 people have now been moved out.
:01:30. > :01:37.Care providers are warning that councils are not paying enough
:01:38. > :01:43.towards the cost of caring for the elderly at home.
:01:44. > :01:53.The winner of the 2016 Man Booker Prize for fiction is...
:01:54. > :01:55.The Sellout. And for the first time an American author wins the Man
:01:56. > :02:00.Booker Prize for fiction. We round up the fourth
:02:01. > :02:05.round of the EFL Cup, including an all Premier League
:02:06. > :02:07.clash at Anfield where Daniel Sturridge gave Liverpool
:02:08. > :02:24.the lead against Spurs. After decades of debate,
:02:25. > :02:30.Government approval has finally been given for a third runway
:02:31. > :02:34.at London's Heathrow Airport. Ministers said the decision proved
:02:35. > :02:39.that the UK was open for business. But other ministers disagreed,
:02:40. > :02:42.including the Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, who said
:02:43. > :02:45.it was simply not deliverable. Business leaders have
:02:46. > :02:47.expressed strong support, saying that construction will create
:02:48. > :02:53.thousands of jobs. But, as our business editor
:02:54. > :02:55.Simon Jack reports, many in communities near Heathrow
:02:56. > :02:58.are determined to oppose the scheme because of concerns about noise
:02:59. > :03:00.levels and air pollution. Heathrow, full to bursting, is to
:03:01. > :03:05.have a controversial extension. After years of delay,
:03:06. > :03:08.the Government has decided The decision we've reached
:03:09. > :03:18.today is so important Not just to tackle the immediate
:03:19. > :03:22.shortage of airport capacity, but to set our country on a course
:03:23. > :03:25.to even greater prosperity It's estimated Heathrow expansion
:03:26. > :03:35.will eventually create 77,000 new jobs by 2030 and boost
:03:36. > :03:38.the economy by ?61 billion in 60 years' time, but Heathrow's biggest
:03:39. > :03:43.user is worried higher fares will be That's the worry of the man who runs
:03:44. > :03:48.the parent company The airport has a history
:03:49. > :03:52.of inflating investment so that it We can't allow that to happen
:03:53. > :03:56.going forward, so it If airport charges increase
:03:57. > :04:04.and fares rise as a result of that, the economic argument for Heathrow
:04:05. > :04:08.will be significantly undermined. And will the economic glow really
:04:09. > :04:12.spread to the rest of the UK? Politicians and business owners
:04:13. > :04:15.in Scotland are optimistic. Being able to bring more people
:04:16. > :04:18.to Scotland, to Glasgow Airport, to Edinburgh Airport from Heathrow,
:04:19. > :04:22.it makes so much sense. It's making it easier,
:04:23. > :04:25.making the journey easier. Making that itinerary planning
:04:26. > :04:28.easier for travel agents as well, so that the choice
:04:29. > :04:32.can become Scotland. Now a third runway here at Heathrow
:04:33. > :04:37.is a long way away from being what they call 'shovel ready' -
:04:38. > :04:39.political planning, legal, environmental opposition
:04:40. > :04:43.is inevitable in the coming months, but in arriving at today's decision
:04:44. > :04:45.they've achieved what previous And, of course, it's not
:04:46. > :04:54.the only mammoth project After an initial wobble,
:04:55. > :04:58.Hinkley Point got the green light, HS2 is coming fast down the track
:04:59. > :05:01.and we may get some more spending in Now all those projects
:05:02. > :05:04.will have their critics, but others will see it
:05:05. > :05:07.as the beginning of an overdue golden age for
:05:08. > :05:09.infrastructure spending. Business leaders say this
:05:10. > :05:13.announcement sends an important message at a particularly
:05:14. > :05:15.sensitive post-Brexit moment. This is a real game-changer
:05:16. > :05:20.for the economy, not just in terms of the jobs it will create
:05:21. > :05:23.in the short run, but in terms of what it says about what kind
:05:24. > :05:26.of country we want to be, open to the world, outward facing,
:05:27. > :05:29.a global trading nation. I think, particularly at the moment,
:05:30. > :05:31.it's very important in standing for something about the kind
:05:32. > :05:34.of nation we want Not all costs can be measured
:05:35. > :05:37.in billions of pounds. This project has been stopped
:05:38. > :05:41.in its tracks before by environmental concerns and it
:05:42. > :05:44.promises to be a key rallying point Air pollution across the UK
:05:45. > :05:47.is damaging the health It's known to cause over 40,000
:05:48. > :05:54.premature deaths across the UK and this is particularly serious
:05:55. > :05:57.in hotspots such as can be Each of these coloured traces
:05:58. > :06:03.represents a flight over It's already one of the busiest and
:06:04. > :06:08.most complex airspaces in the world. The journey to build a third runway
:06:09. > :06:11.will be will be every As we heard, the Government says
:06:12. > :06:20.the decision proves the UK But there's intense opposition among
:06:21. > :06:27.communities west of London, many represented by Conservative
:06:28. > :06:29.MPs, including the Prime Minister's The Conservative MP
:06:30. > :06:33.for Richmond Park, Zac Goldsmith, has resigned in protest
:06:34. > :06:37.and will stand as an independent candidate in a parliamentary
:06:38. > :06:39.by-election as our political editor, Morning, sir.
:06:40. > :06:45.Is it Heathrow or Gatwick? By this morning,
:06:46. > :06:46.there was little doubt. Even the Downing Street cat
:06:47. > :06:51.would have guessed Heathrow. But after years and years and years
:06:52. > :06:58.of delay, ministers were ready to plump for the third runway -
:06:59. > :07:01.one of the most controversial Mr Speaker, this is a momentous
:07:02. > :07:06.step for our country. The decisions taken earlier today,
:07:07. > :07:08.which I shall outline But as the Education
:07:09. > :07:13.Secretary's face suggests... Morning, if Heathrow is chosen
:07:14. > :07:17.will you continue? ...not even the whole Cabinet backs
:07:18. > :07:21.a new third runway at Heathrow. She and the Foreign Secretary will
:07:22. > :07:29.be allowed to protest, politely. Are you still going to
:07:30. > :07:31.oppose Heathrow, Boris? I think it very likely that it
:07:32. > :07:38.will be stopped and I just remind you that this is not the first time
:07:39. > :07:41.the UK Government has publicly decided in favour of a third
:07:42. > :07:43.runway at Heathrow. You will recall, it was
:07:44. > :07:46.the Blair Government that did A few dozen other Tories
:07:47. > :07:50.will oppose the plan. There is, right now,
:07:51. > :07:52.a majority for Heathrow A devastating decision, I think,
:07:53. > :08:01.for the national economic interest Just what have they been
:08:02. > :08:06.doing all these months, apart from worrying about splits
:08:07. > :08:09.in the Cabinet, and the Foreign Secretary throwing himself
:08:10. > :08:12.in front of the bulldozers? We welcome the decision
:08:13. > :08:14.after what has been world leading Finally, almost ending
:08:15. > :08:20.what the Chamber of Commerce called the economic illiteracy of failing
:08:21. > :08:23.to make a decision. The former Tory MP Zac Goldsmith has
:08:24. > :08:30.quit his party in protest. He won his seat vowing
:08:31. > :08:33.to block Heathrow. He'll try to keep it
:08:34. > :08:35.as an independent doing the same, The sheer complexity,
:08:36. > :08:41.the legal risks, the costs, means that Heathrow expansion is not
:08:42. > :08:45.going to get off the ground. Ministers want you to think
:08:46. > :08:48.the decision shows Britain's open But there is a year-long
:08:49. > :08:51.consultation, there are no diggers No planes on that new runway
:08:52. > :08:57.for almost a decade, Despite the political
:08:58. > :09:03.and practical complications, the man in charge
:09:04. > :09:05.claims it will happen. We have taken a decision
:09:06. > :09:08.that we believe is in the interests of the whole of the United Kingdom,
:09:09. > :09:11.that will send a message to the world that Britain
:09:12. > :09:13.is open for business in the post-Brexit world,
:09:14. > :09:15.that will create the regional connectivity that will demonstrate
:09:16. > :09:18.to the whole country that we are governing for the whole
:09:19. > :09:21.country and we are not - Can you guarantee this is actually
:09:22. > :09:23.going to be built? We are not going to shy away
:09:24. > :09:26.from doing what is best for Britain. Yes, there'll be challenges
:09:27. > :09:28.on the way, but this is a decision that's been taken
:09:29. > :09:31.after a lengthy process. But can you guarantee that one
:09:32. > :09:34.day our viewers might board a plane or will board a plane
:09:35. > :09:37.on a new runway at Heathrow? I'm absolutely clear that's
:09:38. > :09:39.what's going to happen. Interesting moves from protesters
:09:40. > :09:44.today will be the least There'll likely be challenges
:09:45. > :09:52.in the court from councils, green groups, maybe even
:09:53. > :09:54.from rival airports. Theresa May was 11 years
:09:55. > :09:56.old when the first But she may have plenty of birthdays
:09:57. > :10:02.before the final plan Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News,
:10:03. > :10:09.Westminster. The Government has insisted that
:10:10. > :10:13.if the plan goes ahead, a ?2.6 billion compensation scheme
:10:14. > :10:15.will be put in place There'd be a purchase scheme
:10:16. > :10:21.for those losing their homes and people affected by noise
:10:22. > :10:24.would be offered sound insulation. The expansion plans affect
:10:25. > :10:26.the areas to the north Business leaders say there'd be
:10:27. > :10:30.a clear economic boost but, as Elaine Dunkley reports,
:10:31. > :10:32.people in the village of Harmondsworth have
:10:33. > :10:36.more immediate concerns. The village of Harmondsworth has
:10:37. > :10:43.been a battleground for Heathrow Today, villagers arrived to hear
:10:44. > :10:51.the news they were dread - a large part of Harmondsworth
:10:52. > :10:53.will be demolished to make Expansion will not be at any
:10:54. > :10:57.cost to local people, Some residents fear it could be
:10:58. > :11:08.the end of village life. I mean, that would be
:11:09. > :11:12.the saddest thing. If they pulled my house down,
:11:13. > :11:17.I just think I'll cry buckets. We've no promise of actually getting
:11:18. > :11:20.anything like what we've got. I came here based on that there
:11:21. > :11:31.would be no third runway. We moved here in 2010
:11:32. > :11:33.and David Cameron said in 2010 - no ifs, no buts,
:11:34. > :11:36.there will be no third runway. So, I'd be surprised if I vote
:11:37. > :11:38.Conservative again. The Heer family own three
:11:39. > :11:40.homes on this road, More than 700 homes and the village
:11:41. > :11:47.primary school are due to go. Around 20 people, we are on the
:11:48. > :11:49.same street. If we moved out, if we can't find
:11:50. > :12:02.places like this, all together. The airport have said
:12:03. > :12:04.they will offer compensation. The compensation does not matter
:12:05. > :12:09.for us, the family matters for us, Over in neighbouring Hounslow some
:12:10. > :12:13.small businesses are delighted We need expansion and it's good
:12:14. > :12:18.for the area, more jobs, I think it's marvellous
:12:19. > :12:25.news for Heathrow. I work at Heathrow and it's good
:12:26. > :12:28.for, you know, the jobs round here. I understand the environment
:12:29. > :12:31.is going to be affected in some way, but it's the jobs that
:12:32. > :12:34.matter most, I think. And what about that environmental
:12:35. > :12:38.impact? Already this school playground
:12:39. > :12:43.in Hounslow has shelters to reduce As plans are drawn up,
:12:44. > :12:50.today's decision is likely to have a huge effect on the next
:12:51. > :12:53.generation living near Heathrow. Live to Heathrow Airport
:12:54. > :13:05.and our business editor, Simon Jack. Boris Johnson was confident today
:13:06. > :13:10.saying this plan was undeliverable. What is your assessment of it? Well,
:13:11. > :13:15.as is the exactly the right question to ask, will this ever be built? We
:13:16. > :13:19.heard the Transport Secretary there saying absolutely, but he faces very
:13:20. > :13:25.stiff political xi to say from within his own party. The
:13:26. > :13:28.vulnerability to this may be a legal one and whether this project can
:13:29. > :13:33.make clear the environmental hurdles it has to. They've made assumptions
:13:34. > :13:37.about that, that in the years to come the actual pollution from cars
:13:38. > :13:41.in this area will actually go down and they're making assumptions as
:13:42. > :13:46.that goes down the overall area will pass those hurdles. Some people
:13:47. > :13:51.think those assumptions are optimistic. I spoke to Willie Walsh,
:13:52. > :13:55.he famously told me once he never thought it would be built in his
:13:56. > :13:59.lifetime. I asked him how he was feeling today, whether he thought he
:14:00. > :14:04.was in good health. All I will say if this does get built after years
:14:05. > :14:07.of delay, it will prove a lot of sceptics and big doubters and
:14:08. > :14:13.enemies of this project very wrong. Thank you very much.
:14:14. > :14:15.In Iraq, on the ninth day of the offensive
:14:16. > :14:18.to retake the city of Mosul, most Iraqi government and Kurdish
:14:19. > :14:20.forces are still some distance from the city.
:14:21. > :14:22.But a group of special forces, advancing from the east,
:14:23. > :14:25.are now only three miles from the outskirts of the city,

:14:32. > :14:34.Fred Scott, are with the Golden Brigade, part of Iraq's

:14:56. > :14:57.It's the job of elite counter-terrorism forces
:14:58. > :15:03.Experience and hardened as they may be, they know it's likely
:15:04. > :15:05.to be the toughest battle they've ever fought.
:15:06. > :15:09.This is the largest military operation in Iraq for years.
:15:10. > :15:21.An epic struggle for the future of the country.
:15:22. > :15:24.The troops face IEDs and mortar strikes, as they fight ever closer
:15:25. > :15:32.Mosul is ground zero for Islamic State and a fundamental
:15:33. > :15:52.No surprise, both are ready to fight to the death to control it.
:15:53. > :15:54.There are far more people here than the troops expected
:15:55. > :15:59.So many Iraqis have known nothing other than a state of war.
:16:00. > :16:06.Civilians have been constantly caught in the crossfire.
:16:07. > :16:20.A neighbour takes his hand, promising to help.
:16:21. > :16:23.But for some, the sight of men with guns on the horizon only

:16:53. > :16:55.from the counter-terrorism force are still having to clear house
:16:56. > :17:00.by house to make sure there are no remnants of Islamic State left.
:17:01. > :17:03.The battle for Mosul matters to Britain and America, to the people
:17:04. > :17:05.of Paris and Brussels, but, above all, this

:17:39. > :17:40.In truth, it's gone much better and much faster
:17:41. > :17:44.But this is now the front line and right down that road,
:17:45. > :17:47.just three miles away, is the city limits of Mosul

:17:57. > :17:59.forces of Iraq to try and take over the city.
:18:00. > :18:02.Today, scores of family were told to leave town for their own safety.

:20:00. > :20:02.We've seen people before they have, kind of, escaped into the forest
:20:03. > :20:07.So I think people will try and disappear, at least at first,

:21:05. > :21:07.Ministers say the current system is at breaking point.
:21:08. > :21:10.The proposals include more patients being treated in the community,
:21:11. > :21:19.Opposition politicians have questioned the lack of detail
:21:20. > :21:21.in the plan, which they say is not properly costed.
:21:22. > :21:23.In a fortnight's time, American voters will be visiting
:21:24. > :21:26.the polling stations to elect a new president.
:21:27. > :21:29.But in states where there is early voting, milllions have already taken
:21:30. > :21:31.part and cast their votes and there's evidence that turnout
:21:32. > :21:35.Our North America editor, Jon Sopel, is at a polling station
:21:36. > :21:47.Jon, to what extent should we be reading anything into these early he
:21:48. > :21:50.voting patterns? Well, so many people have voted already that the
:21:51. > :21:55.parties have pretty good records of who has voted. One statistic stands
:21:56. > :21:59.out here in Florida. It is that so far it's estimated that 150,000
:22:00. > :22:05.Latino voters have already cast their vote. That is double at the
:22:06. > :22:09.same time four years ago. That is seen as very good news for the
:22:10. > :22:15.Democratic Party. That is a similar story we are hearing in Nevada,
:22:16. > :22:20.Texas and Arizona and Colorado. Registered Democratic voters are way
:22:21. > :22:23.up on four years. The nervousness in the Clinton camp is being replaced
:22:24. > :22:26.by a confidence, but also a sense that they've got to win big if
:22:27. > :22:30.they're going to counter the charges that this election is rigged. That
:22:31. > :22:36.is the charge that is still being made by Donald Trump. One piece of
:22:37. > :22:41.good news for him today, if not for Americans, Obama Care, health
:22:42. > :22:44.insurance, went up 25%. That sort of issue plays straight into Donald
:22:45. > :22:48.Trump's Agenda. Jon thank you very much. Jon Sopel there with the
:22:49. > :22:54.latest at a polling station there in Florida.
:22:55. > :22:56.Militants have attacked a police training college in Pakistan,
:22:57. > :22:58.killing at least 60 people, another 100 were injured.
:22:59. > :23:00.The attackers burst into a hostel in Quetta where hundreds
:23:01. > :23:05.Both so-called Islamic State and a Taliban group have said
:23:06. > :23:09.they were responsible, as our correspondent,
:23:10. > :23:14.A night of horrors unfolded for the young recruits
:23:15. > :23:19.Three militants, wielding guns and wearing suicide bomber jackets,
:23:20. > :23:22.broke in and started a bloody rampage, shooting and
:23:23. > :23:31.Almost 500 police cadets and trainers were rescued
:23:32. > :23:33.after a military operation that lasted several hours.
:23:34. > :23:39.The local district hospital was filled with the survivors.
:23:40. > :23:42.Abdulla was among those who hid in a closet as the militants picked
:23:43. > :23:53.His cousin was among the dead, his were the last cries he heard.
:23:54. > :23:55.TRANSLATION: We were hiding in a room.
:23:56. > :23:58.My cousin shouted when he got shot in the eye, then
:23:59. > :24:01.When the commandos came inside, the suicide bomber blew himself up.
:24:02. > :24:08.There was a huge blast, it threw me almost 10 feet away.
:24:09. > :24:12.A strange, uneasy silence outside Quetta's Police Academy,
:24:13. > :24:17.This is the third time this very building has come under attack,
:24:18. > :24:20.located on a road where security forces are often targeted
:24:21. > :24:25.As the city once again buries its dead, questions are now
:24:26. > :24:28.being raised as to how well prepared the government is to deal
:24:29. > :24:34.The government admits there is a problem.
:24:35. > :24:38.You have to be more vigil and agility has to be shown.
:24:39. > :24:41.Having said all this, we're still all humans.
:24:42. > :24:45.If there are lapses, we will take them into account.
:24:46. > :24:48.We're not shifting the responsibility,
:24:49. > :24:52.we're not ignoring it, we're examining it.
:24:53. > :25:00.Quetta has seen many similar attacks by both separatists and various
:25:01. > :25:02.Islamist militant factions over the recent years.
:25:03. > :25:04.Meanwhile in the city, the people prepare, once more,
:25:05. > :25:12.The vast majority of local authorities are not paying realistic
:25:13. > :25:16.prices to support older and disabled people.
:25:17. > :25:19.That's according to the UK Home Care Association which says
:25:20. > :25:21.there's already evidence that home care providers are handing
:25:22. > :25:24.back council contracts because of a lack of funds.
:25:25. > :25:27.The Government insists that more money is going into providing people
:25:28. > :25:33.Our social affairs correspondent, Alison Holt, has the story.
:25:34. > :25:37.Kim Hassall can travel miles during her shift.
:25:38. > :25:40.She covers large parts of rural south England as a care
:25:41. > :25:45.worker, supporting people in their own homes.
:25:46. > :25:48.According to today's report, many councils simply don't cover
:25:49. > :25:49.the real costs of the time and training
:25:50. > :25:51.she and others need to provide that care.
:25:52. > :25:53.Hello. Hello, my love.
:25:54. > :25:55.How are you? Nice to see you.
:25:56. > :26:02.85-year-old Pat Carrington normally gets help with washing and dressing,
:26:03. > :26:04.it means she and her 92-year-old husband can cope at home.
:26:05. > :26:08.Many of the people Kim supports are council funded, often she finds
:26:09. > :26:14.Some people might need an extra half an hour, just so that you can put
:26:15. > :26:17.some washing on, change the bedding and change their clothes
:26:18. > :26:24.It is a bit of a worry that they can't live the life
:26:25. > :26:28.they used to lead before they needed care.
:26:29. > :26:30.Today's UK Home Care Association report estimates it costs
:26:31. > :26:36.?16.70 an hour to cover basic home care costs,
:26:37. > :26:47.but on average councils pay ?14.58, more than ?2 less.
:26:48. > :26:49.At the not-for-profit agency where Kim works,
:26:50. > :26:51.they've already pulled out of four local authority contracts.
:26:52. > :26:54.In one particular case, we were losing ?100,000 a month,
:26:55. > :26:57.Just things like recruitment, it costs a fortune.
:26:58. > :26:59.One month we spent ?28,000 just on recruitment advertising,
:27:00. > :27:11.At the moment, 80% of the home care they provide here is for local
:27:12. > :27:16.authorities, but they've decided to survive they will have to cater
:27:17. > :27:19.more for people who can afford to pay for themselves.
:27:20. > :27:20.Councils blame underfunding by central government
:27:21. > :27:23.for the problems that care companies face.
:27:24. > :27:27.If they cannot take local authority contracts and are solely relying
:27:28. > :27:31.on the private sector, then that means that local
:27:32. > :27:35.authorities are going to find it very difficult to support those
:27:36. > :27:40.who need their help, the most vulnerable people in our society.
:27:41. > :27:43.I'll help you make your bed for you, all right?
:27:44. > :27:45.The Government says it's up to councils to ensure care companies
:27:46. > :27:48.pay their staff properly and that it is putting significantly
:27:49. > :27:50.more money into providing dignified care for people who need it.
:27:51. > :28:08.At the Guildhall in the City of London, within the past hour,
:28:09. > :28:10.the winner of this year's Man Booker Literary Prize
:28:11. > :28:14.Paul Beatty is the first American author to win the prestigious award
:28:15. > :28:18.Our arts editor, Will Gompertz, is at Guildhall with the winner.
:28:19. > :28:28.Huw, this is the book, The Sellout, by Paul Beatty. It was described by
:28:29. > :28:37.Amanda Foreman, "an inventive modern satire that slays sacred cows and
:28:38. > :28:43.takes aims at racial and political taboos." You were crying when you
:28:44. > :28:47.were awarded the prize? Yeah. I've been crying a lot about this book
:28:48. > :28:51.for whatever reason. I put a lot into it. I'm deeply thankful that
:28:52. > :28:58.people get something from the book. That means a lot to me. It's been
:28:59. > :29:04.called a satire, it's been called a comic novel, an epic book that
:29:05. > :29:07.explores America's relations with race relations. All those you
:29:08. > :29:11.questioned. How would you describe your own book? Me questioning
:29:12. > :29:15.myself. What I think, how I see the world. What does history mean to me.
:29:16. > :29:18.What does progress mean to me. For me it's all funny because I never
:29:19. > :29:23.know what anything means. It's fun to try to figure it out. You have
:29:24. > :29:28.that young guy who lives in this suburb of Los Angeles who has no
:29:29. > :29:35.name, who is a young black guy, his father gets killed by the police,
:29:36. > :29:40.who decides to bring back slavery and segregation. Yeah. What are you
:29:41. > :29:45.exploring here, what are you going after here? It doesn't sound funny
:29:46. > :29:49.coming the ouf youth your mouth. Taking these things, not make fun of
:29:50. > :29:55.them, make light of how we look at these things and how we see
:29:56. > :29:58.ourselves currentlily and how we examine ourselves through the past.
:29:59. > :30:02.The guy in the book is trying to create some silent history. A
:30:03. > :30:06.history that only he knows about and only the people in his town know
:30:07. > :30:10.about and, but he can't keep it a secret, I think. He ends up in front
:30:11. > :30:22.of the state prosecutor, of course. Yes. It reminds me of Richard
:30:23. > :30:28.Pyrors's early comedy. There is a real anger. I don't know if it's
:30:29. > :30:33.anger, so much Assadness, anger is there, I guess. I mean America is an
:30:34. > :30:37.angry country, I think. It's an angry globe, I think. I don't think
:30:38. > :30:42.anger is the central thing. There is a lot of frustration and irony. Like
:30:43. > :30:47.this thing of... What hes a the American dream, what does it mean?
:30:48. > :30:53.When you get it, then what? It's... Yeah... Yeah, there's... There's
:30:54. > :30:56.just an anger. I don't know. I don't think it's an angry book.
:30:57. > :31:00.I understand why people say that. You know what, I think it's a great
:31:01. > :31:03.book. Thank you. Congratulations. Well done for being the first
:31:04. > :31:09.American winner of the prize. Thank you. Would any of your guys know
:31:10. > :31:15.what you won back home? Some will, some won't sfwlchlt we do. Thank
:31:16. > :31:17.you. Thank you. Huw. Thank you very much. Congratulations to Paul
:31:18. > :31:20.Beatty. You know what the West thinks
:31:21. > :31:27.of Putin and his country's actions in Syria and Ukraine,
:31:28. > :31:29.we're looking at what the Russians think and what they're being told,
:31:30. > :31:32.and it makes interesting viewing. Join me now on BBC Two,
