:00:00. > :00:08.Tonight at 10 - there'll be no official inquiry into the most

:00:09. > :00:18.violent episode of the miners' strike at Orgreave 32 years ago.

:00:19. > :00:20.Campaigners insist that South Yorkshire Police lied

:00:21. > :00:22.about the events at Orgreave, but the Home Secretary says

:00:23. > :00:25.there's no justification for a public inquiry.

:00:26. > :00:29.There were no miscarriages of justice, there were no deaths,

:00:30. > :00:37.There was anger at Westminster among campaigners who'd been expecting

:00:38. > :00:39.a very different outcome, and they promised to

:00:40. > :00:46.Aren't we right in concluding that the establishment stitch-up

:00:47. > :00:48.that she has just announced today, is nothing more

:00:49. > :00:55.We'll have the detail and reaction as the campaigners insist

:00:56. > :01:07.With eight days to polling day in America, signs that the race

:01:08. > :01:09.is tightening in some of those key states.

:01:10. > :01:13.A report from the outskirts of Mosul, as Iraqi special forces

:01:14. > :01:17.advance on the stronghold of the Islamic State group.

:01:18. > :01:21.Jail for 10 years for the lorry driver who killed a mother and three

:01:22. > :01:24.children when he crashed while using a mobile phone.

:01:25. > :01:31.Anyone using a mobile whilst driving is guilty of dangerous driving.

:01:32. > :01:36.It only takes a second of distraction to kill someone.

:01:37. > :01:40.Mark Carney says he'll stay as Governor

:01:41. > :01:44.of the Bank of England until 2019, and not for the full term.

:01:45. > :01:52.A glimpse at the private collection soon to be auctioned.

:01:53. > :01:56.And coming up in Sportsday on BBC News, concern for jockeys

:01:57. > :01:59.Jim Crowley and Freddy Tylicki, who suffer what are believed to be

:02:00. > :02:21.serious injuries in a fall at Kempton Park this afternoon.

:02:22. > :02:27.There will be no public inquiry into the violent clashes

:02:28. > :02:35.between police and striking miners at Orgreave in 1984.

:02:36. > :02:40.The decision, by the Home Secretary Amber Rudd, has provoked

:02:41. > :02:42.a furious response from campaigners who say it's an "establishment

:02:43. > :02:48.They have consistently accused South Yorkshire Police

:02:49. > :02:50.of using excessive force at Orgreave and of telling lies.

:02:51. > :02:53.Dozens of striking miners were put on trial but the cases collapsed.

:02:54. > :02:56.The Home Secretary said she'd made the decision because there had been

:02:57. > :02:59.no deaths or wrongful convictions - as our political editor

:03:00. > :03:20.Horses, batons, beatings. Orgreave was a battle between thousands of

:03:21. > :03:24.miers on strike and thousands of police, but there will be no

:03:25. > :03:30.inquiry, Noel Hunt for more truth, no new explanation. -- miners on

:03:31. > :03:37.strike. One of the miners there on that day just can't understand why.

:03:38. > :03:44.The things I saw that day, I wake up sweating sometimes in the night,

:03:45. > :03:48.when my mind wanders onto it... And that's why I joined this campaign,

:03:49. > :03:55.to get justice and there's been no justice today. Why would an inquiry

:03:56. > :04:00.make such a difference to you? Because we could say, we could say,

:04:01. > :04:07.we told you so. What we told you happen that day did happen. 95

:04:08. > :04:13.miners were charged before their cases collapsed, amid suspicions of

:04:14. > :04:16.brutality and cover up in the same police force at Hillsborough,

:04:17. > :04:22.campaigners believed an inquiry was coming. Amber Rudd told all of you,

:04:23. > :04:26.that there would be an inquiry, the only question was what kind. Her

:04:27. > :04:30.exact words were she had to decide what format it would take. It wasn't

:04:31. > :04:34.a question for us of whether or not it would happen, it would be in what

:04:35. > :04:38.form it would take. She said the culture had changed down the light

:04:39. > :04:43.needed to be shone. The Home Secretary denies any promise but her

:04:44. > :04:47.decision met here. I have concluded that there is no case for either a

:04:48. > :04:55.statutory inquiry or an independent review. In this situation, in

:04:56. > :05:00.Orgreave, there were no miscarriages of justice, there were no deaths,

:05:01. > :05:05.there were no convictions. The Right Honourable lady should be aware,

:05:06. > :05:11.therefore it doesn't merit the same level of status as a public inquiry

:05:12. > :05:15.as was required for Hillsborough. Aren't we right in concluding the

:05:16. > :05:21.establishment stitch up that she has just announced today is nothing more

:05:22. > :05:25.than a nakedly political act? This is an astonishing and frankly

:05:26. > :05:28.shameful decision by the government. The government have read those

:05:29. > :05:33.families up the garden path for the last two years. Whilst public

:05:34. > :05:36.enquiries can be successful, too often they cost huge amounts of

:05:37. > :05:41.money, take many years and don't even answer the questions

:05:42. > :05:46.thereafter. But Labour has vowed to keep pushing and keep promising an

:05:47. > :05:49.inquiry one day. I'm astonished, absolutely astonished. When Theresa

:05:50. > :05:55.May with Home Secretary she encouraged the families to write for

:05:56. > :05:58.an inquiry. They may have taken a view if they refuse to have it will

:05:59. > :06:03.go away, but sadly for them it won't. Look at the Hillsborough

:06:04. > :06:06.campaign, look at earlier campaigns in Birmingham and Guilford, the

:06:07. > :06:10.determination of people to get justice never goes away. Yet it is a

:06:11. > :06:14.straightforward game in politics to call for an inquiry. One minister

:06:15. > :06:19.said the hard thing is saying no, but in this case the Home Office

:06:20. > :06:25.concluded an inquiry with its possible costs and complications

:06:26. > :06:31.just wasn't worthwhile. Enquiries don't erase memories. Those that

:06:32. > :06:34.could hardly believe their eyes then and had to believe them now.

:06:35. > :06:39.Our correspondent Dan Johnson is in Orgreave tonight.

:06:40. > :06:46.We have heard already from some of the campaign at Westminster today.

:06:47. > :06:49.What have the local community been saying to you there?

:06:50. > :06:53.I have heard tonight from one of the campaigners here who said this is

:06:54. > :06:57.not over. The campaigners will have a meeting tomorrow to decide what

:06:58. > :07:03.their next move is. When the miners were chased up this field 32 years

:07:04. > :07:05.ago by police on horseback with functions and dogs they felt they

:07:06. > :07:10.were the victims of an abuse of state power. They claimed there was

:07:11. > :07:13.brutality, wrongful arrests and an attempt to frame them for serious

:07:14. > :07:46.offences. We've heard stories of retired police officers, all of them

:07:47. > :07:48.retired of course, will be pleased with this decision today. But for

:07:49. > :07:51.the miners, Orgreave and what happened here, this campaign became

:07:52. > :07:53.symbolic of everything they lost. It was a turning point in their strike.

:07:54. > :07:56.They lost it and thousands of jobs with it. Many would say trade union

:07:57. > :07:58.power has never same the mining communities have been abandoned and

:07:59. > :08:01.left behind. But one thing is for sure, the communities around here,

:08:02. > :08:03.the many feel the mining communities have been abandoned and left behind.

:08:04. > :08:08.But one thing is for sure, the communities former mining villages

:08:09. > :08:14.will not forget the Battle of Orgreave. Thank you.

:08:15. > :08:17.President Obama has let it be known that he does not

:08:18. > :08:18.believe the FBI director, James Comey,

:08:19. > :08:21.is trying to influence the outcome of the presidential election.

:08:22. > :08:22.Democrats have strongly criticised Mr Comey,

:08:23. > :08:24.after he announced the FBI was investigating more material

:08:25. > :08:27.that might relate to Hillary Clinton's use of unofficial e-mails

:08:28. > :08:31.But as our North America editor Jon Sopel reports,

:08:32. > :08:33.the latest allegations seem to have given Donald Trump's campaign

:08:34. > :08:36.a new energy, with just eight days to go.

:08:37. > :08:42.Hillary Clinton was in Cleveland today trying to look relaxed in a

:08:43. > :08:47.soul food cafe, but has is a troubled soul after the intervention

:08:48. > :08:49.of the FBI last Friday, when the director announced his new

:08:50. > :08:55.investigation. At a rally she gave vent to her frustration. Why in the

:08:56. > :08:57.world the FBI would decide to jump into an Hillary Clinton was in

:08:58. > :09:00.Cleveland today trying to look relaxed in a soul food cafe, but

:09:01. > :09:02.hers is a troubled soul after the intervention of the FBI last Friday,

:09:03. > :09:05.when the director announced his new investigation. At a rally she gave

:09:06. > :09:08.vent to her frustration. Why in the world the FBI would decide to jump

:09:09. > :09:10.into an election evidence of any wrongdoing, with just days I'm not

:09:11. > :09:13.making excuses, and I regret it. Now they apparently want to look at it

:09:14. > :09:16.was a mistake and I regret it. Now they apparently want to look did of

:09:17. > :09:21.one of my staff. I'm sure they will reach the same conclusion they did

:09:22. > :09:26.when change the mind of her staunch supporters lining up to see her but

:09:27. > :09:30.it might affect independents. The White House wouldn't condemn what

:09:31. > :09:34.the FBI did but isn't this very nuanced comment from the President's

:09:35. > :09:37.spokesperson about how the Department of Justice should behave

:09:38. > :09:41.this close to an election. It's important in the mind of the

:09:42. > :09:44.president that those authorities are tempered by at my e-mails for the

:09:45. > :09:47.last year, there is no case here. It won't change the mind of her staunch

:09:48. > :09:49.supporters lining up to see her but it might affect independents. The

:09:50. > :09:51.White House wouldn't condemn what the FBI did but isn't this very

:09:52. > :09:53.nuanced comment from the President's spokesperson about how the

:09:54. > :09:56.Department of Justice should behave this close to an election. It's

:09:57. > :09:58.important in the mind of the President that those authorities are

:09:59. > :10:00.tempered by an adherence to long-standing and the president and

:10:01. > :10:02.the President believes it is guidelines to be followed. And why

:10:03. > :10:04.would you stress that unless you think they might have breached

:10:05. > :10:06.conventional norms? While in office Hillary Clinton relied on a private

:10:07. > :10:08.e-mail account on her own server, sending thousands of messages both

:10:09. > :10:11.personal and government related. The FBI said that was negligent but

:10:12. > :10:16.didn't press charges. Now, in a separate case involving one of the

:10:17. > :10:19.estranged husband of her close aide, more e-mails have come to light and

:10:20. > :10:23.the FBI has reopened its investigation. But that in itself is

:10:24. > :10:27.proving controversial. It's not normal for the FBI to comment on an

:10:28. > :10:33.ongoing investigation and some Democrats now say the director James

:10:34. > :10:37.Cornick dill me might have broken the law which prevents federal

:10:38. > :10:41.enforcement officers seeking to influence the outcome of an

:10:42. > :10:46.election. Tonight is the night of carved pumpkins as Americans are a

:10:47. > :10:52.great Halloween but tonight Hillary Clinton feels she's been tricked,

:10:53. > :10:57.while the FBI has given Donald Trump his biggest treat. The Trump

:10:58. > :11:00.campaign has never been known for its calm or Serenity Douglas to the

:11:01. > :11:05.raw nurse a sense of euphoria at the moment, because these people here

:11:06. > :11:10.and the Trump campaign believes that the FBI's intervention could be a

:11:11. > :11:17.game changer. I think more people will come on the Trump train. The

:11:18. > :11:21.impact should be the independents. I think they go back and forth

:11:22. > :11:25.depending on the scandal of the moment. Have to give the FBI credit,

:11:26. > :11:32.that was so bad what happened originally, and it took guts for the

:11:33. > :11:36.director to make the movie made in light of the opposition he had,

:11:37. > :11:42.where they are trying to protect her from criminal prosecution. It's too

:11:43. > :11:47.soon to say what the impact of the FBI intervention will be, but listen

:11:48. > :11:50.to Donald Trump, all the talk last week of this being rigged election

:11:51. > :11:58.has gone. He has fresh believe he can will win. It is a very noisy

:11:59. > :12:01.hall here in Detroit where Donald Trump has just finished speaking.

:12:02. > :12:05.The Department of Justice in the past few moments have issued a

:12:06. > :12:12.statement to Congress saying they will work with the FBI as closely as

:12:13. > :12:15.possible, that they will give all resources on workers judiciously as

:12:16. > :12:20.possible. What we don't know is whether we will get any kind of

:12:21. > :12:24.verdict before or after the election, but one very important

:12:25. > :12:29.footnote to add is the Democrats are awaiting the next set of polls with

:12:30. > :12:31.extreme anxiety, and just as the Trump camp are looking forward to

:12:32. > :12:39.them. Back to you. Thank you very much.

:12:40. > :12:41.Jon Sopel in Detroit with the latest on the campaign.

:12:42. > :12:44.You can find out the latest in the race to the White House

:12:45. > :12:55.There you will see Jon Sopel's material and the backgrounds to lots

:12:56. > :12:57.of the key states and the state of the campaign.

:12:58. > :13:01.Mark Carney has announced he will stay in post as governor

:13:02. > :13:04.of the Bank of England until the end of June 2019.

:13:05. > :13:08.Mr Carney - who met Theresa May today at Number Ten -

:13:09. > :13:11.had been facing calls from prominent Conservatives for him to stand down,

:13:12. > :13:15.following his warnings about the potential impact of Brexit.

:13:16. > :13:21.Mr Carney's departure in 2019 is one year beyond his current term,

:13:22. > :13:25.but means he will not stay on for a full eight-year term.

:13:26. > :13:31.We can discuss this with Simon Jack. A word first of all about the

:13:32. > :13:37.decision on the way it was made. The first important thing to say what it

:13:38. > :13:41.was his decision. He arrived as a surprise superstar for signing in

:13:42. > :13:44.football terms, that George Osborne appointed. At first everyone thought

:13:45. > :13:48.he was great, he seemed to charm just about everyone to stop as the

:13:49. > :13:53.referendum approached, which had been called when he was first tired,

:13:54. > :13:59.he angered some. Some thought he was getting too political by half by

:14:00. > :14:01.warnings of an economic shock that might happen. They thought he was

:14:02. > :14:07.overstepping his brief. At that point people thought, he said the

:14:08. > :14:11.pound would fall and he was right about that, he warned of an economic

:14:12. > :14:16.shock that hasn't materialised yet, then he cut interest rates just

:14:17. > :14:22.after the which Theresa May criticised in a conference speech,

:14:23. > :14:25.saying that hurt savers. A lot of people thinking some testy exchanges

:14:26. > :14:31.between some of the Brexiteers and him. He said he will see out his

:14:32. > :14:37.term until 2019 and that's enough for him. The end of June 20 19. What

:14:38. > :14:42.does that mean, in terms of that Brexit timetable? Crucially if we

:14:43. > :14:48.trigger Article 50 by the end of March 2017, that takes us to march

:14:49. > :14:52.2019, so it sees us through group. He will see it through to the end of

:14:53. > :14:57.that particular process. If you like him or loathe him, most people think

:14:58. > :15:01.losing your central bank chief in a process as immense as that is not

:15:02. > :15:05.ideal. He's clearly decided that the UK need him for one more year. After

:15:06. > :15:09.Theresa May backed him saying he was the right man for the job, he says

:15:10. > :15:13.he will stay on. His family are still going back to Canada in 2018.

:15:14. > :15:17.He says he has unfinished business here and will stick around until

:15:18. > :15:21.2019. Thank you. Simon Jack, our business editor.

:15:22. > :15:23.Iraqi Special Forces trying to drive so-called Islamic State

:15:24. > :15:26.from its stronghold in the city of Mosul, have advanced

:15:27. > :15:27.to the eastern outskirts of the city.

:15:28. > :15:30.The campaign - now in its third week - involves hundreds of troops

:15:31. > :15:33.in heavily-armoured vehicles all supported

:15:34. > :15:39.Our international correspondent Ian Pannell and cameraman

:15:40. > :15:41.Darren Conway are travelling with the Iraqi Special Forces

:15:42. > :15:52.This battle isn't just for one city, but an entire nation.

:15:53. > :15:59.Iraq is a country shattered and shocked by years of civil war.

:16:00. > :16:01.Many expect of these troops to pause, to wait for other

:16:02. > :16:07.fighters on other fronts, but that's not what happened today.

:16:08. > :16:10.As we joined Iraqi counterterrorism forces, moving to the last town

:16:11. > :16:15.between them and so-called Islamic State.

:16:16. > :16:18.Well, the armoured column, as you can see, has now

:16:19. > :16:20.moved out into desert, in what they call a flanking

:16:21. > :16:23.manoeuvre, in other words just going round the town of Bazwaya,

:16:24. > :16:27.We are in the lead vehicles here with

:16:28. > :16:32.the commander of counterterrorism forces.

:16:33. > :16:37.Over there is the town of Bazwaya where

:16:38. > :16:41.they are going to try to get to, and if they manage to get

:16:42. > :16:43.through that then they will manage to move on

:16:44. > :16:44.even further towards their main target.

:16:45. > :16:47.Over the weekend these men were attacked by the militants.

:16:48. > :16:51.In the confusion of battle they lost more than a dozen of their comrades.

:16:52. > :17:02.Taking the fight back to Isis, and the closer they get,

:17:03. > :17:17.After more than two years it feels this conflict is moving

:17:18. > :17:45.The counterterrorism unit have just advanced

:17:46. > :17:48.They just opened attack on what they think are IS positions,

:17:49. > :17:51.we've just been told to get back into the vehicles.

:17:52. > :17:54.They have another unit coming from the other side of the town.

:17:55. > :17:57.There is also a fighter jet overhead trying to give some cover,

:17:58. > :17:58.as you would expect, it's a very confused

:17:59. > :18:06.Many thought the town was abandoned to the fighters,

:18:07. > :18:08.but from behind closed doors, on walls and along alleyways, dozens

:18:09. > :18:15.They've been trapped between warring parties here for years,

:18:16. > :18:29.We liberated the land and the people.

:18:30. > :18:32.And finally, there on the horizon, less than a mile away, is

:18:33. > :18:39.the heart of the self-declared caliphate of Islamic State.

:18:40. > :18:41.TRANSLATION: We are very, very close to Mosul.

:18:42. > :18:44.We have run out of time today but tomorrow

:18:45. > :18:50.the Iraqi people and the world will celebrate its liberation.

:18:51. > :18:53.The people who live here are Shebak, an ethnic group who have suffered

:18:54. > :19:04.TRANSLATION: Thank God we survived Daesh.

:19:05. > :19:18.Don't go out, or we will behead you."

:19:19. > :19:21.They are also a reminder of the sectarian problems here.

:19:22. > :19:24.If they are ever to live in peace, this campaign also needs a plan

:19:25. > :19:32.As more families are made homeless, more lives lost, and still the real

:19:33. > :19:46.Ian Pannell, BBC News, just outside Mosul.

:19:47. > :19:48.A lorry driver has been jailed for 10 years for killing

:19:49. > :19:51.a mother and three children, because he was looking

:19:52. > :19:54.at his mobile phone while travelling at 50 miles an hour.

:19:55. > :19:56.The judge said that Tomasz Kroker might as well have had

:19:57. > :19:59.his eyes closed when he crashed into stationary traffic

:20:00. > :20:04.The family said the 10-year sentence was insufficient for a crime

:20:05. > :20:07.which - they said - had caused so much suffering and destruction,

:20:08. > :20:21.as our correspondent Duncan Kennedy reports.

:20:22. > :20:29.The precious moments of a family life which no longer exists. Here,

:20:30. > :20:32.Ethan, Josh and their sister Aimee, the three children who died in the

:20:33. > :20:38.crash. They died with their mother Tracey, at the end of what had been

:20:39. > :20:43.a family holiday. They were killed by this man, Tomasz Kroker, seen

:20:44. > :20:46.here on his mobile phone moments before the crash. Cameras in his

:20:47. > :20:53.lorry show him scroll through his music for up to 45 seconds, before

:20:54. > :21:02.he hit a queue of stationary traffic. Tomasz Kroker can be seen

:21:03. > :21:09.in the hooded top moments after the crash. Tracy's Mark was in the Silva

:21:10. > :21:16.estate which shunted the vehicle under the lorry. We pulled up behind

:21:17. > :21:24.some lorries just crawling along. And then that was it. Bank.

:21:38. > :21:42.happened on the A34 in Berkshire. The judge said it was as if Tomasz

:21:43. > :21:50.Kroker had been driving with his eyes closed. Aimee's birth mother

:21:51. > :21:54.said driving with a mobile phone had tragic consequences. His use of a

:21:55. > :21:59.mobile phone while driving turned the lorry into a lethal weapon. It

:22:00. > :22:03.only takes a second of distraction to kill someone, destroying your

:22:04. > :22:10.life, your family's lives and those of your victim and their family. The

:22:11. > :22:15.law in this area is clear. It is illegal to use mobile phones while

:22:16. > :22:21.driving are traffic lights or while queueing. But you can use them if

:22:22. > :22:25.parked or making a 999 emergency call. Hands-free sets are also

:22:26. > :22:32.allowed, but if police EU distracted, they can stop and

:22:33. > :22:35.penalised you. The RAC said today mobile phones played a part in more

:22:36. > :22:41.than 400 accidents last year, in which 22 people died. The government

:22:42. > :22:45.has already announced it plans to double the penalties for using a

:22:46. > :22:52.mobile phone. In future, motorists could face a ?200 fine and six

:22:53. > :22:56.points on their licence. Tomasz Kroker was today jailed for a total

:22:57. > :23:01.of ten years after he admitted dangerous driving. His victims'

:23:02. > :23:03.family say their deaths could have been avoided and has left them

:23:11. > :23:12.and Freddy Tylicki have been taken to hospital with suspected spinal

:23:13. > :23:15.injuries, after four horses fell The horses were not reported

:23:37. > :23:39.elected to the labour Justice committee after he was forced to

:23:40. > :23:44.step down from the home affairs select committee. Mr Vaz left his

:24:18. > :24:21.to set up the UK's first so-called "consumption rooms",

:24:22. > :24:23.where drug addicts can inject heroin and also smoke the drug

:24:24. > :24:28.The scheme aims to address the problems caused by

:24:29. > :24:31.an estimated 500 users, who inject on the streets of Glasgow.

:24:32. > :24:36.Our social affairs correspondent Michael Buchanan has the story.

:24:37. > :24:38.We came to this wasteland to see the remnants

:24:39. > :24:45.The necessary tools of an heroin addiction strewn far and wide.

:24:46. > :24:50.Up to 500 people inject heroin in public in Glasgow.

:24:51. > :24:56.Within minutes, we'd been joined by two of them.

:24:57. > :24:59.They'd come for their first hit of the day.

:25:00. > :25:17.Moments later I watched as the heroin kicked in.

:25:18. > :25:26.With such problems, plans are afoot to open the UK's first consumption

:25:27. > :25:28.centre, a clinic where addicts can safely take their drugs.

:25:29. > :25:32.Safe injecting rooms would save a lot of lives.

:25:33. > :25:34.Coming to places like this, as you can see, it's certainly

:25:35. > :25:40.You come round here at night time, there's no guarantee you're

:25:41. > :25:48.Drug-related deaths are at record levels across Britain,

:25:49. > :25:53.and experts said a spike in new HIV infections in Glasgow last year

:25:54. > :25:57.was mainly due to heroin users sharing needles.

:25:58. > :26:03.But it's also an issue of public safety.

:26:04. > :26:06.This neighbourhood has had to live with the dangers of used needles

:26:13. > :26:22.Not a needle, needles, in the kid's pram.

:26:23. > :26:27.This is a safe consumption room in Denmark.

:26:28. > :26:36.Needles are clean and kept on-site, protecting both users

:26:37. > :26:42.Glasgow's drug services are highly regarded,

:26:43. > :26:45.but officials believe more is needed to help street users.

:26:46. > :26:47.One option would see addicts bring their own drugs to the clinic

:26:48. > :26:49.and hopefully engage with other services.

:26:50. > :26:53.We know that a lot of people that are in this situation are homeless,

:26:54. > :26:57.have mental and physical health problems, so it's not just teaching

:26:58. > :27:03.This pharmacy highlights the drug problem.

:27:04. > :27:06.It has a separate entrance for users of methadone,

:27:07. > :27:11.But opening consumption rooms will not reduce demand,

:27:12. > :27:16.It's effectively legalising drugs and providing people with easier

:27:17. > :27:21.It's promoted, I think, by people who in many instances have

:27:22. > :27:24.given up on the idea of recovery, and their most convincing

:27:25. > :27:27.and persuasive suggestion is to enable people to use illegal

:27:28. > :27:35.That is not how Scotland should be tackling its drug problem.

:27:36. > :27:37.Heroin addiction has ravaged the lives of many in Glasgow,

:27:38. > :27:42.Dealing with that legacy has now put the city at the forefront

:27:50. > :27:52.Hundreds of works of art, from David Bowie's personal

:27:53. > :27:54.collection, are to go on display at Sotheby's in London

:27:55. > :27:58.from tomorrow, ahead of an auction in a few weeks' time.

:27:59. > :28:01.Bowie was actively involved in art throughout his career,

:28:02. > :28:03.as an artist himself, as a writer,

:28:04. > :28:08.The exhibition includes work from some of the 20th century's

:28:09. > :28:21.Our arts editor Will Gompertz has had an exclusive preview.

:28:22. > :28:23.David Bowie made this painting with Damien Hirst,

:28:24. > :28:26.who described the singer as "childish and childlike

:28:27. > :28:38.One of the star attractions in the sale, which accounts for well

:28:39. > :28:41.over 50% of the late pop star's entire collection of art.

:28:42. > :28:44.I'm not a buyer of things, I think the only thing I buy

:28:45. > :28:49.addictively and obsessively, probably, is art.

:28:50. > :28:58.The sale is extensive in both content and style.

:28:59. > :29:03.There's pop art, German Expressionism, British Modernism,

:29:04. > :29:06.a Tintoretto, some Picasso pottery and a chess set

:29:07. > :29:13.So Beth, 350 works, what do they tell us about the collector?

:29:14. > :29:16.They tell us an awful lot about David's way of thinking, how

:29:17. > :29:22.A very particular world, his recent history.

:29:23. > :29:27.A lot of works in the collection are modern British,

:29:28. > :29:29.painting and sculpture, and, of course, he was a

:29:30. > :29:35.A lot of the art was made around that period, or the period

:29:36. > :29:40.So David used the collection to understand his place

:29:41. > :29:44.It is largely a mid-20th century take on British life,

:29:45. > :29:48.of city living, landscapes and coastal scenes,

:29:49. > :29:50.all of which might seem quite conservative for

:29:51. > :29:54.a man with a reputation as an avant-garde performer.

:29:55. > :29:57.He acquired much of it in the mid-90s, with the help

:29:58. > :30:05.He was the most remarkable man to work with.

:30:06. > :30:09.He was deeply invested in what he was doing.

:30:10. > :30:11.His focus was exhausting and all encompassing,

:30:12. > :30:13.and when he was on subject, on the subject of buying

:30:14. > :30:18.modern British pictures, he was incredibly intense.

:30:19. > :30:20.I think you see the intensity with some of the selections

:30:21. > :30:26.OK, but which one of those on sale was his favourite?

:30:27. > :30:29.He very famously talked about the Auerbach, and that's

:30:30. > :30:36.David talked about how this work could change the way he felt

:30:37. > :30:40.If he was feeling joyous that morning he said, hey,

:30:41. > :30:49.yes, I want to sound like that painting looks.

:30:50. > :30:52.Several of these poppy post modern pieces from Bowie's collection

:30:53. > :30:56.are priced in the low hundreds of pounds, tantalising for some,

:30:57. > :31:00.maybe, but then that's the auction estimate before the bidding starts.

:31:01. > :31:17.There will be little more on the US elections coming up on Newsnight.

:31:18. > :31:21.Whether it is Trump or Clinton that wins next week, they will be
