:00:22. > :00:26.Martin McGuinness first came to prominence at the height

:00:27. > :00:29.of the IRA's violent campaign against British rule.

:00:30. > :00:32.But the man who began with violence turned into a politician

:00:33. > :00:37.with a pivotal role in bringing peace to Northern Ireland.

:00:38. > :00:40.The same fierceness that he brought to the arms struggle,

:00:41. > :00:43.he then brought to the cause of peace.

:00:44. > :00:49.He was determined to give Northern Ireland a different future.

:01:26. > :01:29.And the man who created Inspector Morse, the writer

:01:30. > :01:36.Colin Dexter, has died at his home in Oxford at the age of 86.

:01:46. > :02:05.following the sacking of Claudio Ranieri.

:02:06. > :02:10.Thousands of people have gathered at a candlelit vigil in Belfast

:02:11. > :02:14.tonight following the death of Northern Ireland's former deputy

:02:15. > :02:18.The IRA commander turned peacemaking politician

:02:19. > :02:24.was thought to be suffering from a rare heart condition.

:02:25. > :02:27.Leading figures in the peace process paid tribute to the role he played

:02:28. > :02:29.in securing the Good Friday Agreement.

:02:30. > :02:31.Buckingham Palace said the Queen, who finally shook hands

:02:32. > :02:33.with him in 2012, was sending a private

:02:34. > :02:38.The families of some of the IRA's many victims said

:02:39. > :02:50.Our Ireland correspondent Chris Buckler reports.

: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

:17:12. > :17:13.ensure that those images are not repeated in the future.

:17:14. > :17:18.Thank you. Airline passengers travelling

:17:19. > :17:22.to the UK from six countries in the Middle East and North Africa

:17:23. > :17:26.are to be banned from carrying laptops and other electronic

:17:27. > :17:28.devices bigger than a phone The Prime Minister's

:17:29. > :17:36.spokesman said the measures The move follows a similar

:17:37. > :17:39.ban announced by the US Our security correspondent

:17:40. > :17:42.Frank Gardner reports. Getting laptops and other electrical

:17:43. > :17:49.devices through airport security on certain direct flights

:17:50. > :17:51.from the Middle East to the UK is about to get

:17:52. > :17:55.even more complicated. Anything bigger than

:17:56. > :17:57.a smartphone will now have to go in the hold,

:17:58. > :17:59.creating new opportunities British Airways, easyJet and four

:18:00. > :18:05.other UK airlines are affected. So too are eight Middle Eastern

:18:06. > :18:07.and North African carriers. It follows a similar measure

:18:08. > :18:10.introduced by the United States which shares its intelligence with

:18:11. > :18:15.Britain. Elevated intelligence that we're

:18:16. > :18:20.aware of indicates that terrorist groups continue to target commercial

:18:21. > :18:24.aviation and are aggressive in pursuing innovative methods

:18:25. > :18:27.to undertake smuggling explosive devices

:18:28. > :18:32.in various consumer objects. There is some recent evidence

:18:33. > :18:35.of bombs getting on to planes. This aircraft had a hole blown

:18:36. > :18:39.in its side over Somalia last year when an al-Shabab militant smuggled

:18:40. > :18:41.an explosive laptop on board. He was killed but miraculously

:18:42. > :18:44.everyone else survived. The passengers on this

:18:48. > :18:52.killing everyone on board after so-called Islamic State had

:18:53. > :18:55.placed a bomb in the hold, the very place travellers

:18:56. > :18:58.are being told they'll now Behind closed doors in Whitehall

:18:59. > :19:08.there's been intensive discussion over how far-reaching

:19:09. > :19:11.to make this ban. Security officials believe

:19:12. > :19:13.the ongoing threat from jihadists But there'll be a price

:19:14. > :19:17.to pay for this. Both commercially

:19:18. > :19:19.and diplomatically. The countries affected

:19:20. > :19:22.are western allies. All this comes on the back

:19:23. > :19:26.of President Trump's highly controversial ban on travellers

:19:27. > :19:30.from Muslim majority countries. Now this latest measure will be

:19:31. > :19:34.viewed by many around the world as discriminatory and even

:19:35. > :19:37.anti-Islamic, possibly Business travellers deprived

:19:38. > :19:43.of their laptops, families deprived of their gaming tablets,

:19:44. > :19:48.the Government knows this ban is not going to be popular

:19:49. > :19:51.and there's no end date in sight. The ban on carrying

:19:52. > :19:53.liquids over 100mls, introduced 11 years ago,

:19:54. > :19:55.is still in place. A man has appeared in court

:19:56. > :20:04.charged with the murder Bidhya Sagar Das, who is 33,

:20:33. > :20:36.or the fuel we fill up on, the new model laptop we want

:20:37. > :20:39.or the upgraded television, prices are rising, as inflation

:20:40. > :20:44.creeps back into the UK economy. Today, it hit 2.3%,

:20:45. > :20:48.the highest since 2013 Part of what is going

: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

:22:05. > :22:11.but are now falling, to the same The consumer has kept spending

: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,

:22:36. > :22:40.above concerns about the NHS. And the two concerns are these -

:22:50. > :22:54.one thing - rising interest rates. But with those consumer concerns

: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

:29:44. > :29:54.best-known policemen. So many crimes solved

: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

:30:22. > :30:24.it's a composite factor, Hang on a minute, I'm as unhappy

:31:11. > :31:16.the chance to spot Colin Dexter's People often ask me why

: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
