:02:51. > :02:56.In the streets once scarred by sectarian conflict, Martin
:02:57. > :03:00.McGuinness's body was carried home. It was here in Derry's Bogside that
:03:01. > :03:06.his own brand of Irish republicanism was formed amid the turmoil of
:03:07. > :03:09.unrest, and he leaves a legacy of contradictions. He will be
:03:10. > :03:17.remembered as both the ruthless paramilitary and a committed
:03:18. > :03:23.peacemaker. A pioneering piece and pioneering outreach, Martin went
:03:24. > :03:27.beyond what was expected of him. He all the time set the bar very high.
:03:28. > :03:34.You can't ignore the violence whenever you look at his life, can
:03:35. > :03:38.you? Know, and I don't try to. I don't try to. And Martin
:03:39. > :03:43.McGuinness's personal history is tied to Northern Ireland's troubled
:03:44. > :03:49.past. During years of Irish republican violence, you was one of
:03:50. > :03:52.the faces of the IRA's leadership. McGuinness has changed considerably
:03:53. > :03:56.from the young man who used a swagger around the no-go areas of
:03:57. > :04:01.Londonderry as a mantra the Provisional IRA doubt. Born in Derry
:04:02. > :04:10.into a large Catholic family, McGuinness came of age as the
:04:11. > :04:17.troubles deepened. He joined the IRA, quickly rising through its
:04:18. > :04:22.ranks. What had started as a fight for civil rights had become a
:04:23. > :04:27.vicious battle, and the IRA appeared to have a ruthless disregard for
:04:28. > :04:30.life. Republicans were responsible for many notorious attacks,
:04:31. > :04:35.including bombing Brighton's grand hotel during the Conservative Party
:04:36. > :04:38.conference in 1984. Lord Tebbit and his wife Margaret were seriously
:04:39. > :04:43.injured. Today, he said he hoped Martin McGuinness was now parked in
:04:44. > :04:51.a particularly hot and unpleasant coin of hell. He knew that the IRA
:04:52. > :04:54.had been penetrated to its highest levels and that before long, he
:04:55. > :05:00.would have been arrested and charged with some of the many murders which
:05:01. > :05:07.he personally committed. So he opted for the Coward's way out and said,
:05:08. > :05:11.oh, I'm a man of peace. Martin McGuinness did see opportunities at
:05:12. > :05:17.the ballot box for Sinn Fein. The political party linked to the IRA.
:05:18. > :05:21.It even them, the language of threat remained. We don't believe that
:05:22. > :05:25.winning elections will win the freedom of Northern Ireland. At the
:05:26. > :05:30.end of the day, it will be the IRA that will bring freedom. But after
:05:31. > :05:35.years of killings and chaos, in the 1990s, IRA ceasefire is offered the
:05:36. > :05:40.opportunity for talks between unionists and Republicans. Would you
:05:41. > :05:46.like to shake hands? I am prepared to. When there are no guns. There
:05:47. > :05:52.are some people who will always remember him as a man of war and who
:05:53. > :05:56.can never forget the violence of his early years. But for those of us who
:05:57. > :06:01.helped put together the Northern Ireland peace process with him, we
:06:02. > :06:07.will remember his legacy as the man of peace. Martin McGuinness was one
:06:08. > :06:12.of the key negotiators in the long nights of deal-making that led to
:06:13. > :06:15.the Good Friday Agreement and eventually the huge achievement of
:06:16. > :06:21.power-sharing at Stormont. That government brought together at its
:06:22. > :06:25.head the unlikely partnership of two former enemies, Ian Paisley and
:06:26. > :06:30.Martin McGuinness. The firebrand unionist and radical Republican
:06:31. > :06:36.became so close that they were nicknamed the Chuckle Brothers. That
:06:37. > :06:40.remarkable journey is something which is incredibly important. I
:06:41. > :06:44.must say as a Christian, as a person who reflects on life, it is not how
:06:45. > :06:49.you start your life, what is important is how you finish your
:06:50. > :06:52.life. There were republicans who continued to threaten that political
:06:53. > :06:56.progress, but when a police officer was killed, the then Deputy First
:06:57. > :07:02.Minister stood side by side with the Chief Constable to condemn those
:07:03. > :07:07.dissident groups. They are traitors to Ireland. Alongside the words,
:07:08. > :07:13.there were actions on all sides. The Queen's is in Lord Mountbatten was
:07:14. > :07:17.killed by the IRA, yet after the Troubles, royal and Republican were
:07:18. > :07:23.able to put their differences aside. I'm still alive. Buckingham Palace
:07:24. > :07:30.says the Queen is sending a private message to Mr McGuinness's widow. No
:07:31. > :07:36.one can forget the past, but I think we can equally look at the
:07:37. > :07:40.contribution that Martin did play, his real focus on reconciliation and
:07:41. > :07:44.reaching out to different communities. But when he resigned as
:07:45. > :07:48.Deputy First Minister this year, he brought down power-sharing. It will
:07:49. > :07:50.now be for others to overcome the disputes between Unionists and
:07:51. > :08:12.Republicans at Stormont. My heart lies with the people of
:08:13. > :08:15.Derry. Tonight, that voice was absent as Republicans gathered to
:08:16. > :08:20.pay their respects. Not all will remember him so fondly, but few
:08:21. > :08:22.would be able to deny that he was a key figure in changing Northern
:08:23. > :08:24.Ireland. Chris Butler, BBC News. Martin McGuinness' life spanned some
:08:25. > :08:27.of the most tumultuous years in Irish history as he moved
:08:28. > :08:29.from IRA commander to Our Special Correspondent Fergal
:08:30. > :08:32.Keane has been to Belfast and Londonderry to assess
:08:33. > :08:34.Martin McGuinness's legacy and the changing
:08:35. > :08:49.political landscape. It was in this city that much of the
:08:50. > :08:55.worst violence happen, and here too, the first secret meetings that
:08:56. > :08:58.brought it to an end. In a room at this monastery in republican west
:08:59. > :09:04.Belfast, the IRA began its long march to peace 31 months ago -- 31
:09:05. > :09:08.years ago. Father Adrian Egan was one of the helpers at that meeting
:09:09. > :09:12.and eventually came to know Martin McGuinness. Despite the current
:09:13. > :09:15.political crisis, his faith in the peace process is absolute. There is
:09:16. > :09:22.no possibility of going back to where we were. Nobody wants to be
:09:23. > :09:25.back there, and I believe that one of the legacies of Martin McGuinness
:09:26. > :09:29.and others who were engaged in the peace process is that it will last
:09:30. > :09:32.and last well into the future. Nearby is the peace line which still
:09:33. > :09:38.separates Protestant and Catholic communities in west Belfast, a
:09:39. > :09:41.reminder that smiles between Martin McGuinness and Ian Paisley couldn't
:09:42. > :09:46.of themselves drained the deep well of mistrust. This war represents the
:09:47. > :09:48.sectarian reality that may take generations to change, but the
:09:49. > :09:54.absence of violence is a crucial start to that process. And it has
:09:55. > :10:02.involved Loyalist man-of-war making the same journey as Martin
:10:03. > :10:06.McGuinness. On the loyalist Chang Hill road, I met Billy Hutchinson,
:10:07. > :10:12.who was jailed for sectarian murder in the 1970s before he took the
:10:13. > :10:18.political road. I don't want to see any young loyalist condemned to a
:10:19. > :10:22.prison or a graveyard, so I think we have got that. But we are in nervous
:10:23. > :10:26.moments at the minute. We have Brexit. We have had the last
:10:27. > :10:31.election, but I still think that people will go via the democratic
:10:32. > :10:35.process. This is a day that inevitably brings the human cost of
:10:36. > :10:39.the Troubles to the fore, the thousands dead and all left on them.
:10:40. > :10:50.The worst atrocity was carried out after IRA ceasefire, 29 people
:10:51. > :10:54.killed at Omagh. Kevin lost his wife at Omagh. He respects Martin
:10:55. > :10:59.McGuinness, but feels that peace has brought neither justice nor truth.
:11:00. > :11:02.The victims are always at the bottom. They always have been at the
:11:03. > :11:08.bottom. The victims issue must be dealt with. If the peace process is
:11:09. > :11:12.going to go anywhere, it must be dealt with now. Drive west towards
:11:13. > :11:16.the edges of the old Protestant plantation, and you reach the
:11:17. > :11:21.political heartland of Martin McGuinness, where he joined the IRA
:11:22. > :11:24.to fight for a united Ireland. As he was dying, and electorally
:11:25. > :11:29.triumphant Sinn Fein called for a referendum on the issue. These two
:11:30. > :11:33.men, one a Catholic peace activist, the other a Protestant minister,
:11:34. > :11:38.were his friends. I have said to him on occasions that yes, there is that
:11:39. > :11:45.journey that Sinn Fein and many nationalists are on, but please, do
:11:46. > :11:51.not rush down that road, ignoring how the unionist family are
:11:52. > :11:56.responding to this call for a border and a united Ireland. Politically, I
:11:57. > :12:01.think it is not realistic, but what is realistic is to imagine that
:12:02. > :12:07.people can learn to respect one another and to have a united Ireland
:12:08. > :12:09.in that sense, a place of respect. Perhaps the most enduring legacy of
:12:10. > :12:14.the generation that moved from war to peace is realism, learned by
:12:15. > :12:17.Martin McGuinness and others at an immense cost to this society. Fergal
:12:18. > :12:19.Keane, BBC News. The campaign of violence carried out
:12:20. > :12:22.by the Provisional IRA against British rule included
:12:23. > :12:24.several attacks on English cities and towns that left
:12:25. > :12:27.dozens of people dead. The families of some
:12:28. > :12:30.victims came to know Others said they could never come
:12:31. > :12:35.to terms with what he had done. This report is from our home
:12:36. > :12:41.editor Mark Easton. The IRA's campaign of bombings
:12:42. > :12:45.and murders on mainland Britain saw At the time, Martin McGuinness
:12:46. > :12:52.was a vocal supporter of what he called the war
:12:53. > :12:55.against British rule. The only way that Irish people can
:12:56. > :12:58.bring about the freedom of their country is through the use
:12:59. > :13:08.of armed struggle. In 1974, the IRA planted bombs
:13:09. > :13:12.in English pubs, in Guildford, Woolwich and in Birmingham
:13:13. > :13:16.when a series of explosions one November night killed
:13:17. > :13:22.21 people and injured 182. Among the victims, 18-year-old
:13:23. > :13:30.Maxine Hambleton, whose family still regards Martin McGuinness
:13:31. > :13:33.as complicit in mass murder. You can't forget what
:13:34. > :13:38.he did in his past. That is what everyone seems to be
:13:39. > :13:46.forgetting. He has blood on his hands, and he allegedly has killed
:13:47. > :13:50.people. He turned from government to peacemaker, but Martin McGuinness
:13:51. > :13:52.never apologised for the IRA's attempt to assassinate Prime
:13:53. > :13:57.Minister Margaret Thatcher in Brighton. Many will never forgive
:13:58. > :14:01.him for the death and carnage. Conservative peer Lord Dobbs was at
:14:02. > :14:06.the Grand Hotel that terrible morning. I can't forget. Can I
:14:07. > :14:10.forgive? Well, it doesn't matter whether I can forgive or not, what
:14:11. > :14:13.matters is what is going on in Northern Ireland today, and that is
:14:14. > :14:16.excellent and we must never take that for granted and believe that
:14:17. > :14:25.the old times couldn't come back. What we have is a very precious
:14:26. > :14:30.jewel of peace. It shouldn't have happened. In 2001, Michael
:14:31. > :14:33.McGuinness went to Warrington, where an IRA bomb had killed two boys
:14:34. > :14:37.eight years earlier. Of the peace centre set up in the Young victims'
:14:38. > :14:41.names, the Sinn Fein leader told the parents of the children that he
:14:42. > :14:44.accepted some responsibility for the tragedy. Having the challenge of
:14:45. > :14:49.meeting this figurehead, this man who was seen as an ogre and a
:14:50. > :14:55.merchant of death by the British generally, to meet him face-to-face
:14:56. > :15:01.was quite unsettling. We spoke man-to-man. There was no rancour. I
:15:02. > :15:06.can not forgive and equally, not be angry. How times change. In 1991,
:15:07. > :15:12.the IRA fired three mortar shells into Downing Street. Today, prime
:15:13. > :15:16.ministers past and present paid tribute to an IRA commander who
:15:17. > :15:19.would once have willed that attack to find its target. Just as Martin
:15:20. > :15:24.McGuinness's relationship with Britain changed over the decades, so
:15:25. > :15:28.Britain's relationship with Irish Republicanism has changed. Just a
:15:29. > :15:35.couple of years ago, Number Ten described Anglo-Irish relations as
:15:36. > :15:37.being at an all-time high. The threat from Ireland - related
:15:38. > :15:46.terrorism in mainland Britain is still officially described as
:15:47. > :15:51.substantial. But at last we can's Saint Patrick's Bay Parade
:15:52. > :15:52.demonstrated, of equal importance is the friendship which is as close as
:15:53. > :15:55.it has ever been. And our Ireland correspondent
:15:56. > :16:02.Chris Buckler is in Londonderry now. We have seen people on the streets
:16:03. > :16:06.of Londonderry and the streets of Belfast tonight but will Martin
:16:07. > :16:11.McGuinness's role in the peace process, his legacy be one that
:16:12. > :16:16.lasts long into the future? Well, this might sound strange but I think
:16:17. > :16:19.there will be many unionists along with nationalists and republicans
:16:20. > :16:23.who do feel Martin McGuinness's loss and that's partly because he was a
:16:24. > :16:27.negotiator, a man who was capable of compromise. If you look at the
:16:28. > :16:31.moment that Stormont is in crisis, power-sharing is in need of
:16:32. > :16:34.restoration, he would have been a key figure in those talks and
:16:35. > :16:37.ultimately he will be missed from that table. Whenever you look back
:16:38. > :16:43.on someone's life you very often try to paint them as either a hero or
:16:44. > :16:44.villain, truth is it's normally more complicated and that and that's
:16:45. > :16:49.certainly true with Martin McGuinness. He was a man who for
:16:50. > :16:52.years defended IRA violence, but he also pushed politics forward here
:16:53. > :16:56.and the difference can be seen on the streets of places like Derry,
:16:57. > :17:00.where once Army and police patrols would have been on the streets,
:17:01. > :17:04.where paramilitary activity would have been a real concern. Now all
:17:05. > :17:08.those images of history are just reflected on the walls in murals.
:17:09. > :17:11.The real and true lasting legacy of Martin McGuinness will be to try and

:21:23. > :21:25.are a headache. We've had price rises
:21:26. > :21:28.on appliances and on components One reason we get them
:21:29. > :21:33.in from Europe is the quality is there, which we don't have
:21:34. > :21:35.in the UK. So, price rises on all
:21:36. > :21:38.of those things. And it's very difficult for us
:21:39. > :21:41.to pass all of those price rises on to our customers
:21:42. > :21:44.in a very competitive market. Rising inflation has raised fresh
:21:45. > :21:49.fears over a pay squeeze. In 2015, our incomes were increasing
:21:50. > :21:53.at an average of 2.8%. At that time, prices
:21:54. > :21:57.were only going up by 0.4%. Since then, inflation
:21:58. > :22:04.has been increasing. For incomes, they did rise a little

:22:12. > :22:20.since the referendum, keeping the UK economy purring

:22:34. > :22:35.about revealed that two concerns had Above concerns about immigration,

:23:20. > :23:24.for many families the current drought has already had
:23:25. > :23:27.a devastating impact as Andrew Harding reports
:23:28. > :23:32.from Puntland in northern Somalia. We are deep in northern Somalia
:23:33. > :23:41.where roads are as rare as rivers and every drought is a test
:23:42. > :23:45.to be stoically endured. We find 1,000 nomadic families
:23:46. > :23:55.gathered in the stifling heat They've travelled miles
:23:56. > :24:01.in search of help. Guns everywhere, of course,
:24:02. > :24:04.clan wars, pirates, militants - But this drought is something
:24:05. > :24:11.out of the ordinary. They say they've never lived
:24:12. > :24:19.through anything like it before. There's not much in town
:24:20. > :24:29.except for a well. Abduwali and his wife
:24:30. > :24:33.are accomplished builders. Five of you sleep here every night,
:24:34. > :24:39.it's quite a squeeze. You might assume they're used
:24:40. > :24:42.to this sort of poverty. Then a mobile phone
:24:43. > :24:49.appears from a pocket. It's a useful reminder that these
:24:50. > :24:51.aren't poor people at all, And what they're experiencing today
:24:52. > :24:59.is what we'd recognise Outside town, like rock paintings,
:25:00. > :25:10.the nomads' dead livestock. Across Somali, the drought has
:25:11. > :25:15.already killed millions of goats. This family had 100, the equivalent
:25:16. > :25:19.of almost ?10,000 in savings. We were wealthy before this,
:25:20. > :25:22.she says, now we're destitute, Some of the sickest children have
:25:23. > :25:33.been taken to a clinic in town. But their youngest child
:25:34. > :25:39.never made it this far. Abduwali and a five-year-old show
:25:40. > :25:43.us the unmarked grave of a nine-month-old,
:25:44. > :25:48.he died last week. If this drought continues
:25:49. > :25:54.I fear my other children will die too, he says,
:25:55. > :25:56.we have only two goats left. It's not enough,
:25:57. > :26:00.I will have to beg now. For now, of course, the priority
:26:01. > :26:08.is to save lives and to drag Somalia away from famine but beyond that
:26:09. > :26:12.with the climate changing and the droughts here getting
:26:13. > :26:14.tougher, it's tempting to wonder whether the days of
:26:15. > :26:23.the nomad are numbered. Sunset, and the wind picks
:26:24. > :26:27.up, but still no rain. Andrew Harding, BBC News,
:26:28. > :26:35.in northern Somalia. Scotland's First Minister,
:26:36. > :26:37.Nicola Sturgeon, has told members of the Assembly that it would be
:26:38. > :26:40.unfair and utterly unsustainable for the Westminster Government
:26:41. > :26:42.to refuse to allow a second She was speaking at the start
:26:43. > :26:48.of a two-day debate on whether the Scottish Government
:26:49. > :26:50.should ask the UK for the power Conservative, Labour
:26:51. > :26:53.and the Liberal Democrat Our Scotland editor
:26:54. > :27:00.Sarah Smith reports. Nicola Sturgeon hopes
:27:01. > :27:03.she is marching towards another vote The first step is to get
:27:04. > :27:10.the Scottish Parliament to follow her and ask the UK
:27:11. > :27:14.Government to allow a referendum. Whether we like it or not,
:27:15. > :27:17.Scotland again faces a fundamental decision about what sort of country
:27:18. > :27:20.we want to be. The question before this
:27:21. > :27:23.chamber is simple - For the UK Government to stand
:27:24. > :27:28.in the way of Scotland even having the choice would be,
:27:29. > :27:30.in my view, wrong, unfair Tories here and in Westminster
:27:31. > :27:38.believe they can sustain their position that now
:27:39. > :27:42.is not the time. The people of Scotland don't want
:27:43. > :27:45.it, it will not wash to have a First Minister standing
:27:46. > :27:48.there, washing her hands, saying, it is not me
:27:49. > :27:50.that is dragging us there, it is with a heavy heart,
:27:51. > :27:55.a big Tory did this, and ran away. It won't do, First Minister,
:27:56. > :27:58.take responsibility. Nicola Sturgeon wakes up every
:27:59. > :28:02.single day thinking of ways to engineer another referendum,
:28:03. > :28:05.because leaving the UK is the only The SNP need the Greens
:28:06. > :28:11.to win the vote. They fear Scotland won't have a say
:28:12. > :28:14.in the Brexit process. The citizens of Scotland, the only
:28:15. > :28:18.people voiceless in that process. The SNP will almost certainly win
:28:19. > :28:32.this vote, even though the Tories, Labour and the Lib Dems
:28:33. > :28:34.will all vote against them. The nationalists have got
:28:35. > :28:36.the numbers in Parliament. But the opposition parties are sure
:28:37. > :28:38.that beyond here Scottish voters It is mostly No voters who don't
:28:39. > :28:45.want to go through it all again. Many Yes voters can't wait
:28:46. > :28:48.for another referendum. I don't think there
:28:49. > :28:52.should be another one. They had their chance, and we voted
:28:53. > :28:57.to remain part of the UK. I think my mother is completely
:28:58. > :29:01.wrong because we were basically promised we would stay
:29:02. > :29:05.in the European Union, basically. And we are not in the
:29:06. > :29:08.European Union, so that is a bit The debate in Holyrood
:29:09. > :29:13.will continue tomorrow. The debate over Scotland's future
:29:14. > :29:18.will not be resolved so soon. There is a long road
:29:19. > :29:22.ahead in this battle over who gets to decide
:29:23. > :29:24.when or if there is The man who created Inspector Morse,
:29:25. > :29:32.the writer Colin Dexter, The Morse novels sold millions
:29:33. > :29:39.and were adapted for television. Our arts correspondent Lizo Mzimba
:29:40. > :29:43.looks back at his life. Two of literature and television's

:29:55. > :30:01.by them over a pint. Which came first,
:30:02. > :30:04.the death or the theft? And, occasionally,
:30:05. > :30:06.under the watchful eye Dexter came up with Morse
:30:07. > :30:12.during a wet family I gave him a few of my qualities,
:30:13. > :30:19.a great liking for crosswords and real ale and Richard Wagner
:30:20. > :30:21.and so on. So, I suppose in a way

:31:17. > :31:23.I killed Morse off. I say, I didn't kill him off at all,
:31:24. > :31:31.I say, he died of natural causes. His crime writing may have been
