:01:47. > :01:51.village is surrounded by armoured vehicles, more than 100 youths have
:01:51. > :01:57.been arrested in three days because the government wanted to seem like

:03:49. > :03:54.sport in which taking risks is expected. The decision to defy
:03:54. > :03:57.critics and a drive through with his controversial race could be its

:04:07. > :04:12.changed things from the perspective of those there?
:04:12. > :04:16.There is no doubt that the first death of this grand prix weekend

:04:26. > :04:31.was told the News of the death of that protester. He was visibly
:04:31. > :04:35.shocked, the last thing he wanted to hear given the controversy
:04:35. > :04:42.raging around the wisdom of bringing this event back to this
:04:42. > :04:47.Arab kingdom. It still goes ahead, the race. The BBC has learned the

:04:52. > :04:59.his concern at what he is seeing, the violence he has been seen on TV,
:04:59. > :05:04.to urge restraint when it comes to dinner with the protest. And to ask
:05:04. > :05:07.him with the urgency to bring in the reforms the Independent
:05:07. > :05:13.Commission has recommended, including the release of political
:05:13. > :05:18.prisoners. The opposition has called for the abandonment of this
:05:18. > :05:21.race. This strengthening of tone and language can only be seen as

:05:42. > :05:44.Labour peer Jack Ashley, who's died after a short illness. He was 89. A
:05:44. > :05:48.life-long disability rights campaigner, Lord Ashley, who lost
:05:48. > :05:50.his hearing in his forties, had a long and successful career at
:05:50. > :05:54.Westminster. David Cameron said he'd made a major contribution to

:06:04. > :06:04.
:06:04. > :06:08.affection". The Lord Ashley commanded huge
:06:08. > :06:12.respect and affection across political lines, but he was not

:06:20. > :06:24.people are expressing their great anger at the refusal of the
:06:24. > :06:29.government to give them proper legislative rights. He worked for
:06:29. > :06:33.the BBC in the 1960s. This is a documentary he made about life on
:06:33. > :06:40.the dole. Many unemployed people have told me queueing for the doll
:06:40. > :06:43.is humiliating. He is there any way you can... A year went on to
:06:43. > :06:47.campaign for the disadvantaged in Parliament. Jack Ashley was MP for
:06:47. > :06:51.Stoke the 26 years although he almost stood down when he lost his
:06:52. > :06:57.hearing in a routine operation two years after winning his seat.
:06:57. > :07:01.Normally, he used to sit in the front bench because if he asked a
:07:01. > :07:05.question, the Prime Minister's answer would be tight about, and
:07:05. > :07:09.would be on a little screen. Colleagues remember a determined
:07:09. > :07:15.campaigner. He is whole life was devoted to dealing with the problem
:07:15. > :07:21.that he faced, which was disability. He proved that if you really do
:07:21. > :07:27.work at it and campaign, you can make progress. When Jack entered
:07:27. > :07:34.Parliament, there was no provision for disabled people on access to
:07:34. > :07:38.the built environment. There were no environment -- allowances. He
:07:38. > :07:43.leaves a much better legacy than was left to him. Lord Ashley will
:07:43. > :07:48.be remembered as the champion of the rights of disabled people, who
:07:48. > :07:51.changed laws and public attitudes. Lord Ashley, who died today. The

:08:57. > :09:02.the wreckage of the Boeing 737 are still littered the fields outside
:09:02. > :09:09.the capital. The aeroplane which came down in a storm, was about 30
:09:09. > :09:14.years old. The airline, Bhoja Air, reopened only last month, after 10
:09:14. > :09:18.years of financial problems. Tonight, people are still coming to
:09:18. > :09:22.check the list of the dead. This has been a day of grieving, and
:09:22. > :09:27.burying, and of many questions. People are demanding to know if the
:09:27. > :09:30.airline should have been allowed to reopen, and if the aeroplane was
:09:30. > :09:36.too old. The owner of the airline has been barred from leaving the
:09:36. > :09:40.country. The government has promised a thorough investigation.
