:00:09. > :00:18.Nelson Mandela, read fighter, resident and prisoner has been

:00:19. > :00:20.buried in his childhood village. Thousands of dignitaries,

:00:21. > :00:33.celebrities and old friends paid tribute to the man who led South

:00:34. > :00:37.Africans out of oppression. You will remain our guiding light,

:00:38. > :00:45.illuminating the path as we continue the long journey to build the South

:00:46. > :00:52.Africa of your dreams. The end of a long and remarkable journey - we'll

:00:53. > :00:58.be looking at his legacy. Also on tonight's programme: The

:00:59. > :01:05.actor Peter O'Toole - Lawrence of Arabia - has died after a long

:01:06. > :01:08.illness. Providing round the clock care -

:01:09. > :01:11.hospitals in England face fines if they fail to provide the same

:01:12. > :01:16.service at weekends as during the week.

:01:17. > :01:19.And after his Wimbledon triumph, Andy Murray adds the BBC Sports

:01:20. > :01:42.Personality of the Year to his trophy cabinet.

:01:43. > :01:48.Good evening from Qunu, the village behind me where Nelson Mandela grew

:01:49. > :01:58.up and where he was buried today. 4,500 dignitaries - including Prince

:01:59. > :02:02.Charles - took part in the ceremony. There were tributes from President

:02:03. > :02:08.Jacob Zuma, Mandela's granddaughter, and a eulogy from one of his oldest

:02:09. > :02:12.friends. Our first report tonight is from our world affairs editor John

:02:13. > :02:17.Simpson. It was in this rolling countryside

:02:18. > :02:35.that Nelson Mandela's long journey to freedom began. By his own wish,

:02:36. > :02:40.it is where it ended today. The ceremony was well back test and

:02:41. > :02:50.highly polished, with a suitable grandeur to it. The world was

:02:51. > :02:53.watching. The best equipped and trained soldiers, sailors and airmen

:02:54. > :03:04.in Africa by some weight wrought their one-time commander in chief to

:03:05. > :03:13.the funeral ceremony. -- by some way brought. The hymns sung throughout

:03:14. > :03:16.the ceremony were ones Mandela himself particularly loved. Although

:03:17. > :03:20.the funeral has been years in the planning, the vast temporary

:03:21. > :03:27.auditorium was put up in a matter of days. The Mandela family, often

:03:28. > :03:36.driven by disputes about money and status, came together. His widow sat

:03:37. > :03:40.close to winning and Della, his former wife, who has been brought

:03:41. > :03:52.back into the fold in recent months, seemingly less radical than

:03:53. > :03:58.she once was. -- Winnie Mandela. The guests were a mixed bunch. African

:03:59. > :04:03.Presidents, it came, Princes. Prince Charles, representing the Queen,

:04:04. > :04:12.seemed to get less attention than Oprah Winfrey. Richard Ranson was

:04:13. > :04:15.there. So was Gerry Adams, and so was former Archbishop Desmond Tutu,

:04:16. > :04:25.who, only yesterday, seemed to have been snubbed. A long-term close

:04:26. > :04:32.friend of Mandela who, as an ANC activist spent 26 years in jail, as

:04:33. > :04:44.opposed to Mandela's 27, paid his respects. Farewell my dear brother,

:04:45. > :04:51.my mental, my legal. -- my mentor, my leader. I have lost a brother. My

:04:52. > :04:59.life is in a void and I don't know who to turn to. Mandela's

:05:00. > :05:05.granddaughter brought out the human side that people especially loved

:05:06. > :05:09.about him. He was a lot of fun to be around and a great storyteller. He

:05:10. > :05:17.had a great sense of humour. During the past year, we truly missed

:05:18. > :05:22.hearing his voice. At dinner, he liked telling stories about his

:05:23. > :05:28.childhood. He prepared -- preferred ones poking fun at himself.

:05:29. > :05:31.Government politicians here often acknowledged not enough has been

:05:32. > :05:38.achieved since Mandela came to power in 19 years ago. President Jacob

:05:39. > :05:44.Zuma made this pledge. You will remain our guiding light,

:05:45. > :05:54.illuminating the path as we continue the long journey to build the South

:05:55. > :06:01.Africa of your dreams. We shall not say goodbye, because you are not

:06:02. > :06:13.gone. You will live for ever in our hearts and minds. Long speeches had

:06:14. > :06:27.predictably delayed the programme. But finally it was time for the

:06:28. > :06:31.burial ceremony. It took place away from the cameras while the South

:06:32. > :06:42.African air force paid its last respect. A bugle sounded over the

:06:43. > :06:53.grave of the most admired leader on Earth, who once went barefoot over

:06:54. > :06:59.these hills. As Southern African correspondent is

:07:00. > :07:06.with me. This ceremony was followed VIPs. What did ordinary South

:07:07. > :07:09.Africans make of it's I was in a village not too far from here where

:07:10. > :07:13.he was born and the government put up screens to make sure people could

:07:14. > :07:18.come and see the funeral service. But it was not a large crowd, people

:07:19. > :07:23.decided to watch it at home because they felt it was a bit impersonal,

:07:24. > :07:27.and I sensed a bit of resentment and anger because they say the

:07:28. > :07:31.government did not take the ordinary South Africans into consideration

:07:32. > :07:38.when this funeral was organised. Thank you.

:07:39. > :07:41.Nelson Mandela's death has led to a great deal of soul searching about

:07:42. > :07:47.whether the country has lived up to the ideals he fought for. Our Africa

:07:48. > :07:53.correspondent has been talking to some of his neighbours here in Qunu.

:07:54. > :07:58.Across the road from the Mandelas this morning, this family had just

:07:59. > :08:05.worried that elderly mother who knew Nelson as a boy. Two funerals in a

:08:06. > :08:13.small village this weekend. But the mood here is one of celebration of

:08:14. > :08:17.lives well lived. And this is -- I'm feeling happy about this day because

:08:18. > :08:25.he did a lot to us. We are in freedom because of him. He fought

:08:26. > :08:30.for us. An air force salute swings over a nearby town, a poor

:08:31. > :08:39.neighbourhood assembling for a flavour of his funeral. Well, some

:08:40. > :08:43.people work. Mandela's party the ANC is busy handing out free food. It

:08:44. > :08:50.seems to be the main attraction. Unemployment here is nearly did the

:08:51. > :08:58.percent. ANC is Africa, South Africa is ANC. Even without Mandela?

:08:59. > :09:04.Mandela was an umbrella. It does not mean we cannot survive without him.

:09:05. > :09:09.But while his face is on the banknotes, the ANC is losing some

:09:10. > :09:14.ground. This woman was a teacher and has always voted ANC. But not any

:09:15. > :09:22.more. Everybody wants to grab something from a -- for themselves.

:09:23. > :09:28.It is corruption. Do you think Nelson Mandela's death will change

:09:29. > :09:33.that's it is going to be worse. It's not easy to assess the impact of the

:09:34. > :09:39.week like this. I hacked it will not change anything here. But it has

:09:40. > :09:48.been an opportunity to reflect on the legacy and the extent to which

:09:49. > :09:53.this country is living up to it. John Simpson joins us now. Where is

:09:54. > :10:02.South Africa after these last ten remarkable days? Well, I thought

:10:03. > :10:06.today showed the new South Africa at its absolute best. It was relaxed,

:10:07. > :10:12.it was easy, but where discipline and precision was required, it was

:10:13. > :10:18.there. I thought it did very well. I think President Jacob Zuma has a big

:10:19. > :10:25.problem now after this last week. On Tuesday, he was booed and that does

:10:26. > :10:31.seem to have affected his whole red ability and standing. I've heard

:10:32. > :10:36.people starting to say maybe somebody could challenge his

:10:37. > :10:45.authority just as he did some time ago. Maybe somebody else will come

:10:46. > :10:53.up now. There is also a problem for the ANC itself. Just over that Hill

:10:54. > :10:57.now, sadly, Nelson Mandela, one of the greatest leaders of our time, is

:10:58. > :11:05.lying in his grave. People are bound to say now, increasingly, all the

:11:06. > :11:12.past is the past, that was Nelson Mandela's battle. Now, what is the

:11:13. > :11:17.ANC doing about the future? So, Nelson Mandela's life has come full

:11:18. > :11:21.circle. He once said the only tribute he wanted was a recognition

:11:22. > :11:27.he had done his duty. In the last ten days, whether it was resident

:11:28. > :11:31.bomber's eulogy or millions of small tributes from South Africans, one

:11:32. > :11:35.thing has shone right through. Behind me is a man who has done

:11:36. > :11:44.right from his people. That's all from us. Now, the rest of the day's

:11:45. > :11:47.news. The actor Peter O'Toole, who became

:11:48. > :11:50.an international star as Lawrence of Arabia, has died in hospital in

:11:51. > :11:53.London. He was 81 and had been ill for some time. The Irish President

:11:54. > :11:57.said tonight, "Ireland and the world has lost one of the giants of film

:11:58. > :12:02.and theatre." Nick Higham looks back at his life.

:12:03. > :12:13.David lean's epic Lawrence of Arabia. We need a miracle. It turned

:12:14. > :12:20.a jobbing actor with piercing blue eyes into a global form star, the

:12:21. > :12:26.ultimate dashing hero. He played Hamlet on stage, posed for IT

:12:27. > :12:36.photographers and starred in a succession of Hollywood movies. I

:12:37. > :12:47.want a son. All my Sons are bustards. But the swaggering screen

:12:48. > :12:53.star was a renowned hell-raiser with his friend Richard Harris. In time,

:12:54. > :12:59.the drink threatened to destroy his career, and the man himself. A

:13:00. > :13:05.return to the London stage as Macbeth in 1980 was a fiasco. But by

:13:06. > :13:14.the time he played the alcoholic journalist Geoffrey Benard, he had

:13:15. > :13:24.given up the booze. I found myself in bed with Barry. A great jockey.

:13:25. > :13:31.He ended his career playing versions of himself - frail but still full of

:13:32. > :13:43.life, as intravenous, when he played an ageing actor. -- as in Venus.

:13:44. > :13:46.Peter O'Toole, who's died aged 81. Hospitals in England are to face

:13:47. > :13:50.sanctions if they don't provide the same level of care at weekends as

:13:51. > :13:53.they do during the rest of the week. The proposals have been confirmed by

:13:54. > :13:55.the Medical Director of NHS England, Sir Bruce Keogh, following concerns

:13:56. > :14:02.about higher death rates of patients on Saturdays and Sundays. Jane

:14:03. > :14:07.Draper reports. The NHS is constantly busy and under

:14:08. > :14:12.pressure at times. Now, hospitals in England are being told they must

:14:13. > :14:18.have more senior doctors on wards and run more tests and scans at

:14:19. > :14:21.weekends. Firstly, you don't have inappropriate admissions to the

:14:22. > :14:25.hospital. Secondly, when those patients are admitted, they get a

:14:26. > :14:30.diagnosis quicker and appropriate treatment is started more quickly,

:14:31. > :14:35.so they spend less time in hospital. The hospital as a whole is

:14:36. > :14:39.more efficient. Some hospitals, like Poole Hospital, already have more

:14:40. > :14:44.senior staff working throughout the week. Today's plan recommends

:14:45. > :14:48.removing the right of consultants to refuse to work at weekends. The

:14:49. > :14:55.initial focus is on making sure patients with urgent problems are

:14:56. > :14:59.seen quickly by senior doctors. This is not just about patients admitted

:15:00. > :15:05.ads emergencies. Ultimately, the NHS is being axed to provide a service

:15:06. > :15:12.where they work seamlessly seven days a week. Some tough negotiations

:15:13. > :15:15.with doctors leaders lied ahead. The doctors union agrees seven-day

:15:16. > :15:20.services are vital, but it will choose for its workers to have a

:15:21. > :15:27.worklife balance. Already, there are warnings about whether these changes

:15:28. > :15:31.are affordable. We're not sure how much, probably between ?1 billion

:15:32. > :15:34.and ?2 billion. That will be a challenge. Many hospitals are

:15:35. > :15:41.struggling to balance their books even now. The changes begin with

:15:42. > :15:44.urgent and emergency care. Hospitals who fail to transform their working

:15:45. > :15:50.patterns will face fines running to millions of pounds. Leaders of the

:15:51. > :16:00.NHS in England know this is a big challenge, but say patients deserve

:16:01. > :16:03.nothing less. Syrian activists claim government

:16:04. > :16:06.air raids have killed 37 people - among them 14 children - in the

:16:07. > :16:08.northern city of Aleppo. A video, which cannot be independently

:16:09. > :16:11.verified, appears to show the main square in Aleppo. The city is

:16:12. > :16:15.divided between government and rebel held areas, with regular air raids

:16:16. > :16:18.on the rebel districts. About 200,000 protestors have taken

:16:19. > :16:22.to the streets of the Ukrainian capital Kiev to again demand a

:16:23. > :16:24.stronger relationship with Europe. But the EU today called off talks

:16:25. > :16:27.about closer integration, claiming the Ukrainian president wasn't

:16:28. > :16:35.serious enough about forming closer ties.

:16:36. > :16:40.Ireland officially emerged from its bailout programme tonight. In a

:16:41. > :16:45.televised address to the nation, it was acknowledged that despite recent

:16:46. > :16:49.economic improvements, many people are yet to feel the benefits.

:16:50. > :16:54.However, he insisted sacrifices made by the public are starting to make a

:16:55. > :17:00.difference. Now, let's get the support needs.

:17:01. > :17:05.As you may have seen earlier, Andy Murray has been crowned the BBC

:17:06. > :17:10.sports personality of the year. The Wimbledon champion received his

:17:11. > :17:23.award from a tennis legend. Our correspondent reports. This year's

:17:24. > :17:31.ten won is Andy Murray. -- this year's Sports Personality of the

:17:32. > :17:39.Year. Now at his training base in Florida, he has won one of sport 's

:17:40. > :17:42.most famous awards. I couldn't have done it without you. I know

:17:43. > :17:46.sometimes I'm not the easiest worsened to support. I've had a lot

:17:47. > :17:52.of pressure on me for a long time so I'm glad I've managed to break

:17:53. > :17:58.through. After Sir Bradley Wiggins last year, 2013 is once again given

:17:59. > :18:05.British sport 20 to celebrate, and tonight was a chance to do precisely

:18:06. > :18:12.that. The prize for team of the year went to the British and Irish and

:18:13. > :18:19.after the big tree in Australia. Please welcome Sir Alex Ferguson.

:18:20. > :18:24.One of the ovations of the night went to Sir Alex Ferguson, honoured

:18:25. > :18:34.for his extraordinary managerial career. A special reward for one of

:18:35. > :18:37.sport's most special talents. It's been eventful in the Premier

:18:38. > :18:44.League. If you don't want to know what has happened, leave the room.

:18:45. > :18:48.Luis Suarez scored twice as Liverpool recorded their biggest win

:18:49. > :18:53.at White Hart Lane. Manchester United ended a run of four league

:18:54. > :18:59.games without a win and Norwich drew with Swansea. Australia look set to

:19:00. > :19:03.reclaim the Ashes after taking complete control of the third test

:19:04. > :19:08.in Perth. They will resume on day four with a lead of 369 runs. The

:19:09. > :19:20.tourist bowled out cheaply and Stuart Broad had to go for a scan on

:19:21. > :19:27.his butt -- his foot. Australia closed with 230 543. Leicester have

:19:28. > :19:32.kept alive their hopes of reaching the quarterfinals of the Heineken

:19:33. > :19:44.Cup. There was a last-minute converted try for the Tigers, who

:19:45. > :19:55.snatched a 15 height --- 14 win. That's all from us. In a moment on

:19:56. > :19:58.BBC One, the news where you are, but we leave you now with images of

:19:59. > :20:22.Nelson Mandela on the day he was laid to rest. Goodnight.

:20:23. > :20:30.You will remain our guiding light, illuminating the path as we continue

:20:31. > :20:31.the long journey to build the South Africa of your
