A British fighter with so-called Islamic State was a former | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
detainee of Guantanamo - and it's claimed became | :00:07. | :00:08. | |
IS released a picture of Ronald Fiddler smiling before - | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
they claim - he bombed Iraqi troops outside Mosul. | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
As fighting there continues, how to stop people from Britain | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
slipping through the net to join IS. | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
When you have the dozens if not hundreds of suspects, | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
there is very little that the security services | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
can do to monitor all of them, all of the time. | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
So how did Ronald Fiddler from Manchester end up | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
A straight couple lose their battle for a civil partnership | :00:39. | :00:45. | |

A British fighter who so-called Islamic State claim died | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
in a suicide bombing in Iraq was a former detainee | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
Fifty year old Ronald Fiddler was released from there in 2004 | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
and was reportedly given compensation of up to a million | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
IS claim that he detonated a car bomb in the last few days | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
at an Iraqi Army base South West of Mosul. | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
There's been fierce fighting there involving Iraqi troops | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
Our Security Correspondent, Frank Gardner, reports. | :02:09. | :02:19. | |
The face of a suicide bomber. A British man, used by so-called | :02:20. | :02:27. | |
Islamic State to blow himself up in Iraq. Hello? Is that the stock | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
market? He was born Ronald Fiddler from Manchester, changing his name | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
later. This is him soon after his release, from 28 years in US | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
detention in Guantanamo Bay. You know I mean business. This is where | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
he chose to end his life. Mosul in northern Iraq. Here at the BBC has | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
been covering the intense fighting by Iraqi forces to dislodge IS from | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
the second city. Outgunned and outmanned, the jihadist have had to | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
resort to booby-traps and suicide bombers to try and slow down the | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
Iraqi advance. His journey began after the 9/11 attacks and in 2001 | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
he travelled to Pakistan. He was arrested the same year and | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
eventually taken to the US base in Kandahar. In 2002 he was transferred | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
to Guantanamo Bay. Two years later he was repatriated to Britain and | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
released, reportedly winning compensation from the government. | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
Then in April 2014, he entered Syria from Turkey to join IS as a fighter. | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
I am mystified as to how this person travelled out to Syria and I can | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
only assume under our false passport, as people who have served | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
time in Guantanamo Bay would have been watched carefully by the | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
British and American intelligence agencies. He was one of hundreds of | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
men taken from Afghanistan to be imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay without | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
trial. Britain lobbied for his release and he later spoke about the | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
abuses he suffered there. Did he fool the British Government? When | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
you have the dozens if not hundreds of suspects, there is very little | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
that the security services can do to monitor all of them, all of the | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
time. Speaking to Panorama after his release from Guantanamo Bay, his | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
family spoke of the transformation they saw in him. He may have changed | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
a little bit when he converted to be a Muslim, he may have changed in | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
that he did not do all the bad things, like going to clubs, going | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
out and meeting girls, smoking, drinking... He turned into a placid | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
person. In the end, it seems he chose to die for a group that has | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
committed unspeakable acts on innocent people. | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
The claim that Ronald Fiddler has blown himself up came from so-called | :04:54. | :05:03. | |
Islamic State and it has to be treated with caution. Can any | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
lessons be learned? The pipeline of British and European jihadist who | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
were two or three years ago flooding across the Turkish border into | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
territory controlled by IS at that has dried up and it is hard for them | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
to cross the border. The lessons are, Guantanamo Bay, incredibly bad | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
in terms of the ideological fight against extremism. It makes it very | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
difficult for America, Britain and other countries, whose nationals | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
side there are two men taking any kind of moral high ground, because | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
they were imprisoned without trial. This is very active, we talk about | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
reopening it. There is the question of what you do about the 400 | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
estimated British jihadist who is still out there. If they do not die | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
on the battlefields are they going to come back. How do you decide who | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
is safe, do you believe the people who say they have turned their back | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
on all of that, most people will want to do exactly that, some may | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
have other ideas. That is the challenge for the government now. | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
Three judges at the Court of Appeal have made it clear the current | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
system in which only gay couples can have a civil partnership - | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
and not straight couples - cannot continue indefinitely. | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
While they rejected a challenge by a heterosexual couple from London | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
who want a civil partnership , they acknowledged the couple | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
had a potential case for discrimination - | :06:19. | :06:19. | |
increasing pressure on the government to consider | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
Here's our Our Home Editor Mark Easton. | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
In 2005, Elton John and David Furnish became one | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
of the first gay couples to form a civil partnership, | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
the Government's answer to growing demands that homosexual partners | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
enjoy equal rights to married heterosexual couples. | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
In 2014, Elton and David had another wedding, | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
converting their civil partnership to a same-sex marriage as the law | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
extended marriage rights to homosexuals. | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
Thousands of gay and lesbian weddings followed. | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
But evolving rights for same-sex couples | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
got some heterosexual partners like Rebecca Steinfield and Charles | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
Keidan asking the courts why they couldn't have the same choice. | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
They didn't fancy the baggage of getting | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
married, but wanted the legal protection of a civil partnership. | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
Today, at the High Court, they lost their case, | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
but claimed the detail of the judgment meant they'd won the | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
All three of the judges agreed that we're being treated | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
differently because of our sexual orientation and that this impacts | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
All three rejected the argument that we | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
All three emphasised that the Government | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
cannot maintain the status quo for much longer. | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
The judges said they thought Government should have more | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
We are handing down our judgments today... | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
Ministers have been wrestling about what to do | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
about civil parer partnership ever since same-sex marriage became legal | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
It is an important matter of social policy. | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
Ministers ordered a review, which under helpfully | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
simply told them the public was deeply divided on the issue, keeping | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
them as they are, extending them to all or abolishing them completely | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
all options on civil partnerships were opposed so the Government | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
Some dismissed civil partnerships as a | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
political stopgap, a second rate marriage. | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
They confer the same rights as marriage, the right to be | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
next of kin, access to your partner's estate and their pension | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
but, unlike marriage, adultery is not grounds for | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
Thousands of same-sex couples have converted | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
full marriage and there's been a big drop | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
Government has always said it wanted to see what effect same-sex marriage | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
Some now argue they've had long enough. | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
The Government has to wake up and smell the coffee. | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
There is a growing feeling this needs to | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
There's a growing appreciation, backed up by the court | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
today, that this is inequality that cannot go on. | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
The problem for ministers is thatle having invented | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
civil partnerships they cannot uninvent them and whatever they do | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
Merseyside Police are this evening hunting for a convicted murderer | :09:06. | :09:16. | |
who was helped by two armed men to escape during a hospital | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
28-year-old Shaun Walmsley fled from Aintree University Hospital | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
as he was getting into a car with prison officers. | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
Our correspondent, Judith Moritz, is at the hospital. | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
Judith, what more can you tell us about what happened? | :09:28. | :09:36. | |
Shaun Walmsley was brought here for a hospital appointment this | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
afternoon and he was escorted from Liverpool prison around three miles | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
away by two prison officers who were about to take him back to jail when | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
they were ambushed as they were getting into a car. They were | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
stopped by two men who had their faces covered and they were | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
brandishing, we understand, a gun and a knife and they threaten the | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
prison guards and force them to let Shaun Walmsley go and then they | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
escaped with the prisoner in a gold coloured Volvo. | :10:08. | :10:31. | |
The prison officers were not injured and they were able to raise the | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
alarm quickly and Merseyside Police say they are involved in an | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
extensive search, they are combing CCTV and they say they are working | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
with the Ministry of Justice and other police forces nationwide to | :10:40. | :10:41. | |
track down Shaun Walmsley. They described him as dangerous. He was | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
sentenced to life imprisonment in 2015 for murder and Merseyside | :10:45. | :10:46. | |
Police say he is still potentially in the company of the two men who | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
escaped with them and they may be armed and they have told members of | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
the public who have information and who may have seen the group, not to | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
approach them but instead to call the police. | :10:55. | :10:55. | |
More than three thousand people are trafficked | :10:56. | :10:56. | |
into the UK every year, according to official statistics - | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
They come from all over the world, but by far the biggest | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
In 2015, this relatively small country accounted for over | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
600 potential victims - about a fifth of the total. | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
Of those, the vast majority were female, and most of them | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
The authorities in Albania have been criticised for failing to crack down | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
on the problem with just 18 convictions last year. | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
My colleague Reeta Chakrabarti has been speaking to some | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
Blessed with natural beauty, but the centre of a dark trade. | :11:20. | :11:28. | |
Albania has over two decades built up a brutal industry, with human | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
TRANSLATION: I hate them and I want them to get | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
Saya, now still a teenager, was just 14 when she was sold | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
into a trafficking ring by a man she thought was her boyfriend. | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
She was forced to sleep with several men a day and tells of a bewildering | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
and terrifying world of abuse in which she could trust no one. | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
TRANSLATION: There were other girls there as well, but I did not talk | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
to them because you could not tell who was connected to whom. | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
They would beat us up and not let us go out. | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
To be controlled by someone, to be used as I was, | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
She lives here in a refuge for trafficked women | :12:14. | :12:24. | |
But these are schoolgirls here, and some already have | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
Saya helped put some of hers behind bars. | :12:30. | :12:40. | |
Several convicted traffickers are held here in this | :12:41. | :12:41. | |
Last year 18 people were sentenced, some | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
The Albanian authorities let us talk to one of them. | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
This man was sentenced to 15 years for trafficking children to Greece | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
and forcing them to work as prostitutes or beggars. | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
What made him, a married man with his own children, | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
TRANSLATION: It was a time where everyone was doing | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
You used a child in order to earn some money, isn't | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
What if that were my child and someone did that to them? | :13:16. | :13:25. | |
He faced justice but Albania has been criticised for a lack | :13:26. | :13:27. | |
of prosecutions and there are concerns over police collusion. | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
Some senior figures question whether trafficking is a real | :13:33. | :13:34. | |
problem but the official line is that there are systems | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
We had a system in place, and it was not an increasing trend, | :13:38. | :13:48. | |
it is constant but it has to be tackled properly and to make always | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
It is away from the modern capital city that all too often | :13:53. | :14:02. | |
Albania remains a poor country and in many areas a woman's role | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
Young women in small-town Albania can be easy prey for grooomer | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
who seduce them with promises of a better life. | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
That better life is invariably outside Albania but Anna | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
TRANSLATION: He said he was looking for a girl | :14:23. | :14:29. | |
She is now in a safe house in the UK, duped into leaving home | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
and then sold into prostitution, she weeps throughout our | :14:36. | :14:37. | |
interview but insists she wants to tell her story. | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
TRANSLATION: I was somewhere underground with no sense | :14:44. | :14:45. | |
Anna is now supported in this safe house run by the Salvation Army. | :14:46. | :15:12. | |
She has a baby which gives her a reason to carry on. | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
Her story should trigger alarm in authorities | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
A broken life caused by a brutal crime. | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
Hospital services across nearly two-thirds of England | :15:23. | :15:32. | |
BBC analysis of plans to transform the health service and save costs | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
in 44 areas has found that 28 of them affect hospital care, | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
to centralising services on fewer sites. | :15:40. | :15:41. | |
NHS England argues that the plans will allow them to put | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
more resources into care in the community. | :15:45. | :15:46. | |
NHS budgets in England are rising, but patient demand | :15:47. | :15:58. | |
Now, each local area has been told to come up | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
At this Nottingham Trust, seen here recently, | :16:05. | :16:12. | |
they want to shift resources out of hospitals and into the community. | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
If somebody is in a hospital bed, that costs a lot of money per day. | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
If that could be better spent, by giving people the care | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
they need in the community, then we can reinvest that money | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
But the plan involves cutting 200 hospital beds at two sites and local | :16:25. | :16:32. | |
campaigners are concerned that patient care will suffer. | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
If we take out 200 beds, have we got the real capacity | :16:37. | :16:38. | |
and professionalism to deal with those patients | :16:39. | :16:40. | |
We've seen massive cuts in social care and we need to be assured | :16:41. | :16:52. | |
that we can have the full professional capacity | :16:53. | :16:54. | |
The NHS in England is under extreme pressure simply trying to deal | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
with the daily needs of patients, budgets are overstretched, | :16:59. | :17:00. | |
so trying to carry out an ambitious transformation programme, | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
which itself requires more investment, is going | :17:04. | :17:04. | |
Local health and social care leaders in England have drawn up | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
what are known as sustainability and transformation plans or STPs, | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
BBC analysis has found that in 28, cuts to services are proposed, | :17:14. | :17:20. | |
these include plans to downgrade A units, schemes to centralise | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
maternity services and to close some hospitals with resources | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
Hi, I'm Cathy, I've just come to see how you are. | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
The plans also involve concentrating specialist care | :17:34. | :17:35. | |
For one part of London, cancer experts are being brought | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
together in one hospital, covering a population | :17:41. | :17:42. | |
So having a big team means we've been able to think of new ways, | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
new models of giving treatments to patients close to their home. | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
So a good example is breast cancer chemothearpy, | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
where we're now testing a model where patients can now | :17:58. | :17:59. | |
self-administer their own drugs in their own home. | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
Elsewhere in the UK, there are differing approaches. | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
In Scotland, there are hubs where GPs work alongside social | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
Welsh local authorities and NHS bodies are pooling budgets | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
Whatever the proposed solutions, the big challenges for the NHS | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
An Israeli soldier who killed a wounded Palestinian | :18:21. | :18:29. | |
attacker has been sentenced to 18-months in prison. | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
A military court convicted Elor Azaria of manslaughter | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
for shooting dead Abdul Fatah al-Sharif as he lay | :18:38. | :18:39. | |
badly hurt on the ground in the occupied West Bank. | :18:40. | :18:49. | |
Some Israelis have called for the soldier to be pardoned, | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
Palestinians have condemned the sentence as too lenient. | :18:53. | :18:54. | |
The Prime Minister, Theresa May, has held talks with the French | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
presidential candidate, Emmanuel Macron. | :18:58. | :18:58. | |
The presidential frontrunner said he would like UK banks and workers | :18:59. | :19:00. | |
This evening, Mr Macron held a rally to addressed some of the 200,000 | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
French voters in the capital who make London effectively | :19:06. | :19:07. | |
The Government took in more money that it spent last month, | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
according to the Office for National Statistics. | :19:14. | :19:15. | |
The first month of the year traditionally sees a surplus | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
because of the high level of receipts from income tax. | :19:19. | :19:20. | |
But at ?9.4 billion, the surplus last month | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
I'm joined by our economics editor, Kamal Ahmed. | :19:24. | :19:32. | |
What can we draw from this? How many times have we sat on this set and | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
said a barrowing black hole for the Government. Today, there seems to be | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
borrowing green shoots. It's down to the performance of the economy, both | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
before and after the referendum. It's been much stronger than people | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
thought. When the economy is performing strongly, businesses make | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
more profits. They start to pay more tax to the Government, people's | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
earnings go up, slightly more quickly, they pay more tax to the | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
government. That all feeds into these good borrowing numbers today. | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
Of course, we are already starting to look towards the Budget, which is | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
on 8th March next month. What does it mean for that? I think a couple | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
of things. The Office for Budget Responsibility, the official | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
economic watch dog dog for the country will upgrade growth again | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
for 2017, good for borrowing. The Chancellor may have some money to | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
play with. Could he help on that business rates controversy and help | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
with the NHS and social care? To be clear, officials I spoke to in the | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
Treasury over recent days have been clear that Mr Hammond wants to | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
balance the books. There is a concern in the Treasury, there | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
hasn't been a Brexit impact on the economy yet, but with Article 50 to | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
be triggered, with the tough negotiations ahead about leaving the | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
European Union, if there is going to be a Brexit effect, any money they | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
will have now they will want to save up and spend later to mitigate some | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
of those economic risks. Kamal, thank you. | :21:02. | :21:10. | |
Next week, Northern Ireland returns to the polls just nine months | :21:11. | :21:12. | |
The power-sharing Government fell apart last month | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
after the Deputy First Minister, Martin McGuinness, resigned, | :21:16. | :21:17. | |
amid a complete break down of relations between the DUP | :21:18. | :21:19. | |
Bitter words between the former Coalition partners have fuelled | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
memories of divisive elections from Northern Ireland's past, | :21:24. | :21:25. | |
ARCHIVE: Well, one place that the polls so far | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
and our own computer can't really help us is Northern Ireland. | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
How elections are reported has changed over the decades. | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
ARCHIVE: The real issue before the Ulster voters has not been | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
But in Northern Ireland, it sometimes feels like the politics | :21:38. | :21:46. | |
Throughout the years, votes have often been | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
presented as a battle between Irish Nationalism | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
and British Unionism and it's clear those old divisions run deep | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
in the bad blood of this current campaign. | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
Well, the allegation is that in Northern Ireland we don't have | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
enough respect for Orangemen to walk down a road for 10 minutes. | :22:05. | :22:11. | |
This heated election follows the collapse of Stormont's | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
power-sharing Government and there is frustration among | :22:17. | :22:17. | |
voters following allegations of incompetence and even corruption. | :22:18. | :22:19. | |
It's time they all got their act together, learnt to work together | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
and put power-sharing and all it stood for into practice. | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
Ian Paisley's hardlined voice softened with age and he eventually | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
lead his Democratic Unionist Party into Government with Sinn Fein, | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
but 10 years later there's a new DUP leader and Irish Republicans | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
are once again being portrayed as the enemy. | :22:38. | :22:39. | |
If you feed a crocodile, they're going to keep coming back | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
Arlene Foster was forced from the office of First Minister | :22:43. | :22:49. | |
when Sinn Fein walked out of Government over a financial | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
scandal surrounding a botched green energy initiative. | :22:52. | :23:00. | |
She was the minister in charge when the scheme was designed | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
inexplicable without cost controls, but she's not asking | :23:04. | :23:05. | |
for forgiveness, she's fighting back with what are, | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
I mean, if you've listened to what I've said, I've said I want | :23:08. | :23:15. | |
devolution back up and running again so that we can have | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
Do you regret any of your words over the last months? | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
Well, maybe that's a question you should ask other parties | :23:23. | :23:24. | |
because when you look at the brutality of what happened | :23:25. | :23:26. | |
to me, in December, in January, when you look at the rhetoric | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
that was directed towards me, I think we should all | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
Stormont's opposition parties are back out on the road, | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
campaigning again, including the nationalist SDLP. | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
But they all know that there's no guarantee | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
of a new power-sharing deal and that means there is a chance that | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
Westminster might have to take over Government here, | :23:49. | :23:49. | |
at least for a period, through what's known as direct rule. | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
We could have exactly the same result or we could have | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
The problem is, if we get the same result, we end up with direct rule | :23:57. | :24:06. | |
and once we have direct rule, I'm not sure we'll get the Assembly | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
With all the cosy appearances now gone at Stormont, | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
the cross-community Alliance Party believes people have been | :24:13. | :24:14. | |
given a taste of just how bitter things have become. | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
Every time we have an election, we get this sectarian rhetoric, | :24:18. | :24:19. | |
we get this divisive rhetoric, and it drags the community back | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
to a place that I don't really think we need to be. | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
It sometimes feels like all politics here is dominated by unionism | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
or nationalism, but there are real issues worrying people too, | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
including health, education, the economy and Brexit. | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
I think the public, by in large, have moved on and I think us | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
as politicians have a bit of catching up to do. | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
I don't get depressed too often, but when I listened to one | :24:45. | :24:52. | |
of the last debates and possibly the youngest DUP member's | :24:53. | :24:54. | |
contribution, it did get me down because he stood up looking sympathy | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
because it had been a very difficult 10 years for the DUP and it had been | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
difficult because they don't want to share power. | :25:02. | :25:03. | |
Martin McGuinness, who made the journey from IRA leader | :25:04. | :25:05. | |
to Deputy First Minister, stepped down ahead of this election. | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
The new face of the Sinn Fein leadership in Northern Ireland | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
is Michelle O'Neill, and she doesn't have the | :25:12. | :25:23. | |
paramilitary past of her predecessor, but she's been | :25:24. | :25:25. | |
criticised for speaking at an IRA commemoration during this campaign. | :25:26. | :25:27. | |
I attended the commemoration of four young fellas | :25:28. | :25:29. | |
Four young fellas that found themselves in | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
But they were also four young men who were involved in an IRA attack | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
And we'll always have a different narrative on the past, | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
but that's where we need to get to in society, where | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
we actually understand that we have a different narrative. | :25:44. | :25:45. | |
It's undeniable that the peace process has changed Northern Ireland | :25:46. | :25:47. | |
for the better, but the pictures of political togetherness | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
seem somewhat dated now and after this election, | :25:51. | :25:52. | |
it could take many months to get an agreement that would allow | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
Manchester City's manager, Pep Guardiola, said his club's | :25:57. | :26:04. | |
critics would "kill them" if they didn't reach | :26:05. | :26:06. | |
the quarter-final of the Champions League. | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
Tonight, at the Etihad, they firmly kept the target | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
in their sights in what can only be described as a goal-extravaganza. | :26:13. | :26:14. | |
They faced Monaco in the first leg and won 5-3. | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
Our sports correspondent, Andy Swiss, reports. | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
Manchester City, Monaco and a goal feast. | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
City burst out of the blocks, Raheem Sterling with | :26:30. | :26:31. | |
Radamel Falcao, once a United player, back to haunt City. | :26:32. | :26:41. | |
And the hosts' frustration only increased as Mbappe thumped Monaco | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
Well, that was nothing as next, City's keeper saved a penalty | :26:45. | :26:53. | |
and Monaco's had a howler, Aguero somehow squirming it | :26:54. | :26:55. | |
Well, this moment of magic from Falcao. | :26:56. | :27:04. | |
Monaco 3-2 up, City once again in deep trouble. | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
But thrillingly, remarkably, they turned it round. | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
Aguero levelled it up again before goals from Stones and Sane completed | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
For the City fans, quite dazzling drama and a night | :27:18. | :27:20. | |
Yes, one of the most extraordinary games you'll ever see. City do still | :27:21. | :27:30. | |
have some work to do in the second leg, a 2-0 win would be enough for | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
Monaco, for now, at least, the fans here won't be worrying about that. | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
They can just celebrate a quite, unforgettable night, Fiona. Andy, at | :27:41. | :27:42. | |

wasn't even recognised by last year's industry experts | :28:45. | :28:51. | |
for the Brits, they didn't nominate any artist from the Grime scene | :28:52. | :28:54. | |
and Stormzy showed his frustration. # And the mighties | :28:55. | :28:56. | |

the Brits increased Stormzy says giving the genre | :29:09. | :29:15. | |
