:00:09. > :00:13.to come up with the cost of Labour's key childcare policy.
:00:14. > :00:15.Extending free childcare in England was the manifesto pledge
:00:16. > :00:17.he was campaigning on today, yet he struggled badly
:00:18. > :00:23.I will give you the figure in a moment.
:00:24. > :00:36.Meanwhile, Theresa May returns to her main election message -
:00:37. > :00:38.saying only the Conservatives can be trusted
:00:39. > :00:40.to win a good Brexit deal in Brussels.
:00:41. > :00:43.Launching the SNP manifesto, Nicola Sturgeon says victory

:01:00. > :01:01.she's returning to perform in Manchester less than two weeks
:01:02. > :01:10.after the bombing that left 22 people dead.
:01:11. > :01:19.I personally don't think it's showing a great deal of respect. It
:01:20. > :01:24.is not giving them a chance to show respect to their loved ones.
:01:25. > :01:26.The former military leader of Panama, General Manuel Noriega has

:01:32. > :01:33.as Arsene signs a new two-year contract to extend
:01:34. > :01:59.The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has apologised for not knowing
:02:00. > :02:03.the cost of one of Labour's key election pledges on childcare.
:02:04. > :02:06.It was a policy he was out campaigning on today -
:02:07. > :02:09.but during a BBC interview this morning he struggled to come up
:02:10. > :02:11.with the numbers for how much it would cost to extend
:02:12. > :02:17.The Conservatives called it a car-crash interview.
:02:18. > :02:20.Here's our deputy political editor John Pienaar.
:02:21. > :02:25.Got to keep up, can't fall too far behind.
:02:26. > :02:28.More free childcare might play well with voters.
:02:29. > :02:33.Jeremy Corbyn knows what looks and sounds good.
:02:34. > :02:38.Look at these wonderful children here, they all need a nursery place
:02:39. > :02:43.and a chance to grow up and learn together, so ours is a universal
:02:44. > :02:47.provision so every child gets a place in nursery of 30 hours
:02:48. > :02:54.Playtime over, onto Woman's Hour - what could go wrong?
:02:55. > :02:56.How much will it cost to provide un-means tested childcare
:02:57. > :03:05.It will cost...it will obviously cost a lot to do so.
:03:06. > :03:13.I will give you the figures in a moment.
:03:14. > :03:18.You've announced a major policy and you don't know
:03:19. > :03:22.Can I give you the exact figure in a moment please.
:03:23. > :03:25.Is this not exactly the issue with people and the Labour Party
:03:26. > :03:28.which came up under Gordon Brown, that we cannot trust you
:03:29. > :03:38.Our manifesto is fully costed and examined.
:03:39. > :03:40.You are holding your manifesto, you're flicking through it,
:03:41. > :03:43.you've got an iPad there, you've had a phone call
:03:44. > :03:46.and you don't know how much it's going to cost.
:03:47. > :03:48.Can we come back to that in a moment?
:03:49. > :03:52.I think what is important for the voters to understand
:03:53. > :03:54.is if we don't invest in our children and invest
:03:55. > :03:57.in them for the future, they do less well in primary school,
:03:58. > :04:02.less well in secondary school and less well in the future.
:04:03. > :04:06.At a rally in Watford, he was amongst friends.
:04:07. > :04:09.A much better tomorrow for everybody in this country.
:04:10. > :04:17.Mr Corbyn, you are Labour's choice of next Prime Minister,
:04:18. > :04:20.yet this morning you couldn't put a cost on the key childcare policy
:04:21. > :04:26.How do you answer the suggestion that this showed a lack
:04:27. > :04:33.I didn't have the exact figure in front to me so I was unable
:04:34. > :04:37.to answer that question, for which, obviously, I apologise.
:04:38. > :04:41.But I don't apologise for what is in the manifesto.
:04:42. > :04:44.There's always a queue to see Jeremy Corbyn.
:04:45. > :04:46.But whether you are a convert to the cause or not,
:04:47. > :04:50.who doesn't want more for childcare, hospitals and schools,
:04:51. > :04:54.and more tax those who can afford it?
:04:55. > :04:56.Believing Labour can deliver without borrowing and taxing more
:04:57. > :05:00.than the party is admitting, that's another question.
:05:01. > :05:02.And seeing Jeremy Corbyn as not just well-meaning but prime ministerial,
:05:03. > :05:04.a lot of people remain to be convinced.
:05:05. > :05:11.I want to know how he will pay for it all.
:05:12. > :05:15.He comes across very well with the youngsters
:05:16. > :05:17.but he hasn't got all his facts and figures correct.
:05:18. > :05:20.I think he is one of the most honest politicians we have seen
:05:21. > :05:23.in the last 15 years, to be honest.
:05:24. > :05:26.I've seen him on a couple of things recently and he gives honest
:05:27. > :05:28.answers, which is more than I can say for other members
:05:29. > :05:35.If you don't try something, you don't know how good it is.
:05:36. > :05:39.As far as I'm concerned I have a lot of faith in him.
:05:40. > :05:42.On the BBC's One Show tonight he was happy to accept
:05:43. > :05:46.he never expected to be here, Labour's one hope.
:05:47. > :05:48.Did I ever set out in life to become Prime Minister?
:05:49. > :05:53.I set out in life to try and change things
:05:54. > :05:56.and try and bring about greater justice in our society.
:05:57. > :05:58.I am honoured and proud to lead the party
:05:59. > :06:04.and I am giving it everything I can to win this election.
:06:05. > :06:06.He wants the job now but getting it will take trust
:06:07. > :06:12.You can find details of all the party's policies
:06:13. > :06:19.on childcare on the bbc website - bbc.co.uk/election2017.
:06:20. > :06:22.For the Conservatives it was not Labour's policies but the competence
:06:23. > :06:25.of its leader that was the focus of their fire today.
:06:26. > :06:28.In a speech about Brexit, the Prime Minister questioned
:06:29. > :06:33.Jeremy Corbyn's fitness to conduct talks with the EU.
:06:34. > :06:36.But Labour says Mrs May's negotiating position so far had made
:06:37. > :06:43.Here's our political editor Laura Kuenssberg.
:06:44. > :06:49.It's on all our streets and on the doors where elections
:06:50. > :06:58.Has a shakier few days for Theresa May made much difference?
:06:59. > :07:02.I just wish she'd make her mind up and stick to it.
:07:03. > :07:06.I mean, I know it's a woman's privilege...
:07:07. > :07:09.But they shouldn't do it in politics.
:07:10. > :07:12.Turned against pensioners, hasn't she?
:07:13. > :07:14.But on plenty of doorsteps, the perceptions of the two leaders
:07:15. > :07:22.Well, everything she does is so proficient.
:07:23. > :07:25.I don't like that Mr Corbyn to be the head
:07:26. > :07:28.of the Labour Party, if they get in.
:07:29. > :07:30.I can't see them getting in, can you?
:07:31. > :07:33.I like Theresa May, I think she's good.
:07:34. > :07:41.Theresa May wants to drive her hoped-for contrast home,
:07:42. > :07:44.so after a tricky few days, a top up of her main message -
:07:45. > :07:50.To try to get away from accusations of indecision.
:07:51. > :07:54.Her number one target - the Labour leader.
:07:55. > :07:58.With his position on Brexit, he will find himself alone and naked
:07:59. > :08:06.in the negotiating chamber of the European Union.
:08:07. > :08:09.With the Brexit negotiations due to begin only 11 days
:08:10. > :08:11.after polling day, he is not prepared
:08:12. > :08:20.Prepared to take the difficult decisions that leadership demands.
:08:21. > :08:28.I'm ready to go, Jeremy Corbyn is not.
:08:29. > :08:30.Prime Minister, election campaigns test our leaders, don't they?
:08:31. > :08:33.Isn't the emerging truth of this campaign that it's showing
:08:34. > :08:37.you as a leader to be weaker rather than stronger?
:08:38. > :08:39.Laura, let me tell you what I think strong and stable
:08:40. > :08:46.Strong and stable leadership is about being open with the
:08:47. > :08:49.British people about the challenges that we face, and that's what we've
:08:50. > :08:51.done in the manifesto that we've set out.
:08:52. > :08:54.Strong and stable leadership is about being open about the hard
:08:55. > :08:57.choices that lie ahead in order to build that stronger Britain.
:08:58. > :09:00.But despite the Tories' recent troubles, a new scepticism
:09:01. > :09:07.It is a case of Labour trying to cling on in areas like this,
:09:08. > :09:11.One senior source told me the fundamentals of the campaign
:09:12. > :09:16.Questions in voters' minds about Jeremy Corbyn, the Tories
:09:17. > :09:21.Negotiations in Brussels seem pretty remote from the hard graft
:09:22. > :09:24.of this election campaign, but Theresa May wants to make
:09:25. > :09:29.the choice all about her authority to carry them out.
:09:30. > :09:32.But the Tory wobble has been noticed on the doorstep,
:09:33. > :09:36.and it's here that her party has to make their case.
:09:37. > :09:40.And house by house and street by street, for both sides,
:09:41. > :09:56.Both Conservatives and Labour returning to their main messages
:09:57. > :10:00.today but a bumpy ride for Jeremy Corbyn? It has not been an easy day
:10:01. > :10:05.for the Labour leader. He had to apologise for the confusion caused
:10:06. > :10:10.by not having his numbers. We are at that stage where it has the faint
:10:11. > :10:15.jangling of Tory nerves and the faint jangling of Labour
:10:16. > :10:19.opportunity, it is double or quits time. Both parties will be doubling
:10:20. > :10:26.down on their main messages. Theresa May is saying again and again, trust
:10:27. > :10:31.me on Brexit. Just in case you hadn't realised, trust me, not him.
:10:32. > :10:37.For Jeremy Corbyn the messages, give me a chance. Think about public
:10:38. > :10:39.services and the strain there under, but give me a chance because I could
:10:40. > :10:45.be different. Clearly, there has been a bit of a shift. We have seen
:10:46. > :10:50.since the sky-high Tory poll leads, there has been a shift. On the
:10:51. > :10:55.doorstep it suggests it too. People are less forgiving of Theresa May. I
:10:56. > :11:00.think there is less sceptics is towards her. It turns of the broad
:11:01. > :11:03.picture, I think neither the most pessimistic person in Tory
:11:04. > :11:07.headquarters nor the most optimistic person in Labour headquarters would
:11:08. > :11:11.be willing to bet very much on anything other than some form of a
:11:12. > :11:17.Tory win. Things have shifted in the last ten days and they may yet shift
:11:18. > :11:25.again. The parties are going back to their basic messages, they're safe
:11:26. > :11:27.territory, but what voters will make of that, of course, it is up to
:11:28. > :11:29.them. Thank you. The Scottish National Party has
:11:30. > :11:31.launched its election manifesto pledging to promote
:11:32. > :11:33.fairness and opportunity. The party's leader, Nicola Sturgeon,
:11:34. > :11:35.said Labour was in disarray and the only way to keep
:11:36. > :11:37.the Conservatives in check She also said that an SNP victory
:11:38. > :11:41.in Scotland would "further reinforce" the mandate for a second
:11:42. > :11:43.referendum on independence. Our Scotland editor,
:11:44. > :11:58.Sarah Smith, is in Perth. Sophie, this is a bit of a tricky
:11:59. > :12:02.election for the SNP. In some eyes they are the victims of their own
:12:03. > :12:06.success. They did so well in 2015 when they won all but three of the
:12:07. > :12:11.seats in Scotland. It is almost impossible for them to do any better
:12:12. > :12:15.than that. But if they lose any seats, their opponents will seize on
:12:16. > :12:19.that and say that shows support for another referendum on Scottish
:12:20. > :12:21.independence is in decline. So the SNP are very keen that this election
:12:22. > :12:36.does not become a referendum on whether or
:12:37. > :12:39.not to have another referendum. Instead today they were trying to
:12:40. > :12:40.focus on Brexit, under plans for increased public spending and an end
:12:41. > :12:44.to Social Security cuts instead. Nicola Sturgeon knows she won't be
:12:45. > :12:46.walking into Number Ten The SNP can't form a UK
:12:47. > :12:50.Government, so her pitch? They are the only
:12:51. > :12:51.effective opposition. Now, more than ever,
:12:52. > :12:54.it is vital to have strong SNP voices standing up
:12:55. > :12:56.for Scotland at Westminster. A vote for the SNP on June 8th
:12:57. > :12:58.will strengthen Scotland's It will strengthen Scotland's hand
:12:59. > :13:03.against an extreme Brexit, and it will strengthen Scotland's
:13:04. > :13:09.right to make our own decisions. The SNP also advocate an additional
:13:10. > :13:15.?118 billion in public spending, raising the minimum wage to over
:13:16. > :13:19.?10, and raising the top rate Nicola Sturgeon had much less to say
:13:20. > :13:26.about a second referendum At the end of the Brexit process,
:13:27. > :13:37.not now, but at the end of that process, I think Scotland should
:13:38. > :13:39.have a choice over our own future. But I've also said that,
:13:40. > :13:42.in this election, there's a more immediate opportunity
:13:43. > :13:44.and that is to strengthen Scotland's You've even changed your language
:13:45. > :13:50.about independence, you talk about Scotland have a choice,
:13:51. > :13:52.we almost never hear you actually saying a second
:13:53. > :13:56.referendum on independence, whilst your opponents
:13:57. > :13:58.are putting that front It's as though you're almost a bit
:13:59. > :14:02.embarrassed about it? I've got opponents, yes, saying I'm
:14:03. > :14:05.talking about nothing else, when - as you've just said -
:14:06. > :14:08.that's not true. But they want to talk
:14:09. > :14:11.about nothing else because they, particularly the Tories,
:14:12. > :14:14.are embarrassed about their record and about the policies that
:14:15. > :14:18.are in their manifesto. Right on cue, a Tory
:14:19. > :14:21.protest promising to block You say more SNP MPs will be able
:14:22. > :14:33.to stand up to the Tories, you have just about every MP
:14:34. > :14:36.in Scotland with 56 of them. What real material difference did
:14:37. > :14:40.any of them make to the lives of any Scottish voters in two
:14:41. > :14:42.years in Westminster? We're seeing, almost with every week
:14:43. > :14:45.that passes right now that this Prime Minister is not so much
:14:46. > :14:48.the Iron Lady than she is Therefore, the stronger the SNP
:14:49. > :14:54.and Scotland's voice is, then the more we can effect change
:14:55. > :14:57.to Tory positions that The SNP's biggest challenge
:14:58. > :15:05.is holding onto all those MPs. It'll be difficult to hold onto 56
:15:06. > :15:08.seats, nobody seriously But I'd be surprised if they lose
:15:09. > :15:13.more than half a dozen. But if they lose even
:15:14. > :15:16.jsut two or three seats, it'll be said their vote
:15:17. > :15:18.is going backwards and that they've lost momentum towards another
:15:19. > :15:23.independence referendum. It will certainly be spun that way
:15:24. > :15:26.by the other parties. With so many seats to defend,
:15:27. > :15:31.there's not a moment to lose. Less than two weeks
:15:32. > :15:38.after the suicide bomb at Manchester Arena,
:15:39. > :15:40.that left 22 people dead, the American singer Ariana Grande
:15:41. > :15:42.has announced she'll perform in the city on Sunday

:17:27. > :17:41.It has a capacity of about 50,000 people who, for speed of entry,
:17:42. > :17:45.are being asked not to bring bags, but that's down to security,
:17:46. > :17:49.too which will be upper most in people's minds.

:18:34. > :18:36.I think it's amazing that she's coming back.
:18:37. > :18:42.I think it's something that should be commended, really.
:18:43. > :18:44.It's something that, yeah, it's definitely needed.
:18:45. > :18:47.I think it'll just be a message to them, you know,
:18:48. > :18:50.You shouldn't be ashamed of who you are.

:20:17. > :20:24.I had no need to be there and he had no reason to cut bits off me.
:20:25. > :20:27.It was mass betrayal in the operating theatre.
:20:28. > :20:36.Ian Paterson removed lumps, performed entire mastectomies,
:20:37. > :20:38.deliberate mutilation, for no medical reason.
:20:39. > :20:41.My flesh was black and rotten, the stuff was just oozing out,
:20:42. > :20:45.Judy Conduit suffered a catastrophic infection following Paterson's phony
:20:46. > :20:52.diagnosis that both her breasts must be removed.
:20:53. > :20:56.It was an act, yeah, and he duped everybody, including doctors,
:20:57. > :21:06.I hate him now. I hate him with a vengeance.
:21:07. > :21:11.John Ingram was among the ten former patients chosen
:21:12. > :21:13.to testify against Paterson at his nine week trial.
:21:14. > :21:16.As a man, his case was not typical, but in every other aspect
:21:17. > :21:22.He persuaded me to undergo a double mastectomy.
:21:23. > :21:25.A massively invasive procedure and the lumps in John's chest
:21:26. > :21:41.Paterson exploited me as a person for his own ends both as a cash cow,
:21:42. > :21:45.being paid to operate needlessly on me, to satisfy whatever bit
:21:46. > :21:49.of twisted logic is in his head and also he exploited me
:21:50. > :22:01.I thought it was cowardly and pathetic that he tried
:22:02. > :22:11.to rationalise the way he victimised me, the way he hurt
:22:12. > :22:13.me, both physically and mentally, and then tried to defend himself
:22:14. > :22:16.using the same vulnerability he had exploited to get me under
:22:17. > :22:24.Solicitors believe Ian Paterson's victims run to the hundreds,
:22:25. > :22:30.quite possibly the thousands, and for every face here the same
:22:31. > :22:39.Perhaps he liked the adoration of the patient.
:22:40. > :22:42.I mean, if you tell someone they're going to die of breast cancer,
:22:43. > :22:45.but if you let me operate on you, you're not.
:22:46. > :22:47.Then tell them afterwards that the pathology showed that, yes,
:22:48. > :22:50.if I hadn't operated on you, you were going to get breast cancer,
:22:51. > :22:54.even though it's untrue, then that patient is grateful
:22:55. > :22:57.to you and likes you and indeed all the patients, before they found
:22:58. > :22:59.out that he had actually misled them, thought he was
:23:00. > :23:04.Ian Paterson had always denied deliberately causing harm,
:23:05. > :23:08.but his patients, his victims, have seen him convicted
:23:09. > :23:11.and tomorrow will see him sentenced for his crimes.
:23:12. > :23:14.This guy potentially has a history of offending that spans 15
:23:15. > :23:19.years or more maybe, and that has got to be addressed.
:23:20. > :23:24.The sentence has got to be significant enough so that society
:23:25. > :23:35.In my eyes, he deserves nothing less than a life sentence,
:23:36. > :23:42.I hope they throw away the key and he never comes out.
:23:43. > :23:47.Never to do this to anybody else again.
:23:48. > :23:49.Paterson has been told to expect a custodial sentence
:23:50. > :23:54.The maximum punishment is life in prison.
:23:55. > :24:02.Police in Cambridge say they've completed their investigation

:25:02. > :25:04.Political leaders in Wales have been debating in a live TV debate this
:25:05. > :25:07.evening in Cardiff where the issue of how Wales would fair outside
:25:08. > :25:09.of the European Union dominated the debate.
:25:10. > :25:11.Well my colleague, Huw Edwards, was chairing the debate
:25:12. > :25:23.Sophie, thank you very much. Well, I think I can say it was lively. It
:25:24. > :25:28.was polite for the most part. You are quite right, the main focus was
:25:29. > :25:32.on Brexit. The likely impact, if you like, of the Brexit process on the
:25:33. > :25:38.Welsh economy, on Welsh public spending. On the future of Wales in
:25:39. > :25:42.the years ahead. Another dimension to that Brexit debate about the
:25:43. > :25:45.Welsh voice, if you like, the Welsh perspective. To what extent will
:25:46. > :25:51.that be properly represented in those talks at the highest level,
:25:52. > :25:56.led by Theresa May and David Davis and others? Concerns about the
:25:57. > :26:00.extent to which Welsh problems will be properly represented. Ben Wright
:26:01. > :26:06.was listening to the exchanges. This is his report. Five parties, vying
:26:07. > :26:10.to speak for Wales at Westminster. For years Labour has ruled the roost
:26:11. > :26:13.here, more than half of the parliamentary constituencies are
:26:14. > :26:16.currently red and this evening it was the First Minister of Wales
:26:17. > :26:20.arguing Labour's case. He was asked early on about the causes of
:26:21. > :26:23.terrorism. I don't agree with you that this would not have happened if
:26:24. > :26:27.it wasn't, if British foreign policy had been different. The gentleman
:26:28. > :26:32.made the point correctly about Sweden. This is a war, as they see
:26:33. > :26:38.it, against all those who don't believe as they believe. Turkey has
:26:39. > :26:43.been on the receiving end of these attacks. On to Brexit. More than
:26:44. > :26:50.half the voters in Wales backed leave in the EU referendum. There's
:26:51. > :26:55.a Welsh MP in the Brexit department, as a minister, actively articulating
:26:56. > :26:59.the case for Wales. David Jones. It's really important that we get
:27:00. > :27:03.this right. This will set the scene for future generations. I have to
:27:04. > :27:06.say, I've got no confidence whatsoever that having Jeremy Corbyn
:27:07. > :27:10.doing those negotiations is going to deliver the right result for Wales.
:27:11. > :27:14.Mr Millar is a member of the Welsh Assembly, the Tory leader in Wales
:27:15. > :27:19.was away celebrating his wedding anniversary. A fact not lost on
:27:20. > :27:24.Plaid Cymru's leader. Redistribution of wealth from the EU and we can't
:27:25. > :27:26.guarantee that same redistribution of wealth will happen through the
:27:27. > :27:30.Westminster Government. My concerns are that the Tories will try to grab
:27:31. > :27:34.that money for themselves and we will lose out. That's what we have
:27:35. > :27:39.to guard against. That's what we have to get guarantees from the
:27:40. > :27:42.Tories about. Although their leader has gone on holiday. Their main
:27:43. > :28:23.election slog is to defend in This is the way forward for
:28:24. > :28:27.Wales. Thank you very much. Neil, tax havens have no health service
:28:28. > :28:31.and poor spending on education. Each and every one of them... Next week's
:28:32. > :28:34.election will be the Fifth time in over two years. Everyone in Wales
:28:35. > :28:39.has been able to go to the polls. An election that will test Labour's
:28:40. > :28:46.defences and their opponents lines of attack. Ben Wright, BBC News.
:28:47. > :28:51.Let's stay with one of the points that Ben picked up in the debate.
:28:52. > :28:56.The process of devolving more power to the Welsh Government and to the
:28:57. > :28:59.National Assembly of Wales. There is a very important Brexit context to
:29:00. > :29:02.all of that. What happens to all the powers that come back from boroughs
:29:03. > :29:07.thaels are repatriated as we say at the end of that Brexit process? It's
:29:08. > :29:11.absolutely a crucial part in it debate. How many of those powers
:29:12. > :29:15.will come to Cardiff? How many will stop, if you like, at Westminster?
:29:16. > :29:19.There is a lot of uncertainty around this. I have to say, although we
:29:20. > :29:22.touched on it briefly in the debate, this is really, for me, one of the
:29:23. > :29:25.key questions about the years ahead. It's really one of the key questions
:29:26. > :29:31.about how Wales performs in the years ahead. So a very, very
:29:32. > :29:34.important Brexit context over and above the debate that is taking
:29:35. > :29:41.place in this election campaign. Huw, thank you Sophie. .
:29:42. > :29:44.After months of speculation the Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger,
:29:45. > :29:46.has agreed a new two-year contract with the club.
:29:47. > :29:48.Arsenal finished fifth in the Premier League this season,
:29:49. > :29:50.the first time they've finished outside the top four
:29:51. > :29:57.But on Saturday, Arsenal beat Chelsea to win the FA Cup.
:29:58. > :29:59.The former military leader of Panama, General Manuel Noriega,
:30:00. > :30:07.He was seen as the last strongman of Latin America.
:30:08. > :30:10.A key ally to the United States in the 1980s, Noriega was helpful
:30:11. > :30:12.in Washington's battle against the spread of Communism
:30:13. > :30:13.before being toppled when American troops invaded.
:30:14. > :30:22.Our world affairs editor, John Simpson, looks back at his life.
:30:23. > :30:27.American politicians used to say of leaders like Manuel Noriega -
:30:28. > :30:34.he may be a son of a bitch, but he's our son of a bitch.
:30:35. > :30:36.They selected him, trained him, encouraged him to be
:30:37. > :30:39.a bulwark against communism, but Noriega went too far.
:30:40. > :30:42.The CIA used him to get information about Fidel Castro in Cuba,
:30:43. > :30:50.then found he was giving information about the CIA to Castro.
:30:51. > :30:53.They decided not to turn a blind eye to his large scale
:30:54. > :30:57.drug dealing any more, especially when he started
:30:58. > :31:05."I say to the North Americans, stop threatening because I'm
:31:06. > :31:17.By 1989, President George H W Bush had had enough.
:31:18. > :31:19.General Noriega's reckless threats and attacks upon Americans in Panama
:31:20. > :31:21.created an imminent danger to the 35,000 American
:31:22. > :31:33.Noriega hid in the Vatican Embassy in Panama City, but the US Army
:31:34. > :31:40.bombarded the building with heavy metal music at unbearable levels.
:31:41. > :31:43.In 1990, he was flown to Miami and charged with drug-trafficking,
:31:44. > :31:47.and although the defence argued that the CIA had known
:31:48. > :31:56.all about this, he was sentenced to 40 years jail in 1992.

:32:00. > :32:08.At home the crowds rejoiced, some waved teddy bears because,
:32:09. > :32:10.weirdly, Noriega used to collect them.
:32:11. > :32:13.He spent the rest of his life in prison in the US,
:32:14. > :32:18.Two years ago he asked for forgiveness from all
:32:19. > :32:27.His death draws a line under the old Latin America of corrupt,
:32:28. > :32:30.military dictators, and under one of America's worse policy
