The man who broke
the four-minute mile - | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
Sir Roger Bannister
- has died. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:14 | |
Bannister goes streaking forward. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
His achievement in 1954 gave him
a place in the record books - | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
and in athletics history. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:22 | |
I was absolutely
overwhelmed and delighted. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
It was a great surprise to me to be
able to do it today, | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
and I think I was very lucky. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
We'll be hearing tributes
to Sir Roger from some of those | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
he inspired to compete. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:32 | |
Also tonight... | 0:00:32 | 0:00:37 | |
'Where is the world' say
the people of Eastern Ghouta - | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
as the Syrian government advances
into the rebel-held area. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:45 | |
Still not enough detail
on how the Irish border | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
will work after Brexit -
the Irish government suggests | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
UK proposals may not
be enough for the EU. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
Polls close in Italy,
after an election campaign | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
dominated by immigration. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:01 | |
And, I am in Hollywood,
on the Oscars red carpet, | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
where I will be reporting live
from the 90th Academy Awards. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:09 | |
Good evening. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:25 | |
Sir Roger Bannister -
the first man to run a mile | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
in under four minutes -
has died at the age of 88. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
It was in 1954 that he made
athletics history as an amateur | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
runner on a track in Oxford a moment
that came to symbolise | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
sporting achievement. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
After retiring from athletics
he became a distinguished | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
doctor and neurologist. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
Today fellow athletes paid
tribute to a man who made | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
"the impossible possible"
while the Prime Minister described | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
him as a great British icon. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
Joe Wilson looks back at his life. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:55 | |
NEWSREEL: 25-year-old Roger
Bannister, third from the left. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
There are some moments of sporting
history which become part | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
of the world's history. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
He's decided this
is the right moment. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
What Roger Bannister achieved
in 1954 was like a lunar landing | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
for 20th century sport. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
Bannister's old friend and rival
Chris Chataway is in third place, | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
waiting to take over as pacer. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
To run a mile and stop
the clock before it reached | 0:02:18 | 0:02:19 | |
four minutes in 1954,
this was a magical number, | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
a barrier of human achievement. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
A feat that would redefine
what was humanly possible. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
And it would fall to a young medical
student to achieve it. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:34 | |
After two-and-a-half laps,
Brasher gives way to Chataway. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
Bannister, a superb tactician, has
suffered some criticism in the past | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
for adopting his own rather
unorthodox training methods. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
But they are paying dividends now. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
At this point it
becomes quite painful. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:43 | |
I overtake Chris Chataway
and begin the finish. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:51 | |
And here he comes. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:54 | |
Bannister goes streaking forward
with about 250 yards to the tapes. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:59 | |
Every stride counted. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:00 | |
The tape broke at three
minutes 59.4 seconds. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:06 | |
And Bannister has done it. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:07 | |
Though he is out on his feet,
his coach and team manager tell him | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
he has achieved his ambition. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
It might have felt like the world
stopped when that clock stopped. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
Four minute mile was a sporting
catch phrase everyone recognised. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
All I can say I'm absolutely
overwhelmed and delighted. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
It was a great surprise to me to be
able to do it today. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
And I think I was very lucky. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
There was certainly a feeling of it
being a national event, | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
and something of a landmark
for the country. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:37 | |
Sir Roger Bannister was a hugely
influential figure in sport. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
Especially for those whose
athletics careers came after. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:48 | |
Middle-distance running became
a British tradition, a speciality. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
Today, at the World Indoor Athletics
Championships in Birmingham, | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
two men who also hold the mile world
record talked about their mentor. | 0:03:54 | 0:04:00 | |
Roger was a great athlete. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
He would tease Seb and I in later
years about had he been around | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
in our day and had better tracks
and better shoes and better training | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
methods he would have beaten us. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:09 | |
He was one of the cleverest people
I think I've ever met, | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
and he was, in equal measure,
modest as well. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
He never really got what he did
and it wasn't a front. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:22 | |
This weekend, Laura Muir ran
the 1500 metres at the World Indoors | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
in true style, giving
everything for silver. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:29 | |
She studied medicine to become
a vet, and recognises her link | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
to Sir Roger Bannister. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:37 | |
I think he was very influential
and very sort of inspirational | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
to a lot of people, and to me,
that you can combine, you know, | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
academics and running. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
Sir Roger Bannister
was knighted in 1975. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
Athletics was only
a small part of his life. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
He regarded his work as
a neurologist as more significant. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
When he was diagnosed
with Parkinson's disease | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
he described the gentle irony that
a neurologist should find himself | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
with a neurological condition. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:07 | |
Training for Bannister was half
an hour a day on a cinder track. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
The world's first sub four minute
miler was also perhaps | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
sport's last great amateur. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:20 | |
Sir Roger Bannister who has
died at the age of 88. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:26 | |
The Syrian leader Bashar Al Assad
has said that the offensive | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
on Eastern Ghouta must continue,
as his forces take parts of the area | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
back from rebel groups. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
More than 600 civilians have
died in the fighting | 0:05:36 | 0:05:37 | |
and thousands have been fleeing. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
The United Nations has been
trying get an aid convoy | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
into Eastern Ghouta but so far,
conditions have made | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
that impossible. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:44 | |
Our Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen
sent this report from Damascus. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:51 | |
These people said their village
was moving because the | 0:05:51 | 0:05:53 | |
Syrian Army had arrived. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:58 | |
One man cursed the Russians and
Iranians, key allies of the regime. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
Air strikes he said including banned
cluster bombs had not stopped. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:08 | |
TRANSLATION: It has been
four days, no fuel, no | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
bread, no food, no water. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:12 | |
Where is the world? | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
Where are human rights? | 0:06:14 | 0:06:14 | |
We are humans, not animals. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:22 | |
400,000 people live
in Eastern Ghouta, an area | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
of fields and small towns
about the size of Manchester. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:31 | |
Most of them are civilians who have
not been able to escape the war. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:39 | |
TRANSLATION: When the planes
shelled, I could not see | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
anything in front of me. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:43 | |
I did not wait for the ambulance,
I started running. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:51 | |
For people who don't get away
in time, the risk is death. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
Syria's war creates rivers of tears. | 0:06:54 | 0:07:01 | |
And kills without
discrimination or hesitation. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:09 | |
Western countries and others have
condemned attacks that kill | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
and injure civilians. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:16 | |
The UN humanitarian chief called it
collective punishment. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:22 | |
President Bashar Assad
said the condemnation | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
was a ridiculous lie. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:28 | |
Syria, he said, was
fighting terrorism. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:35 | |
The air strikes have been
followed by ground troops | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
who are making rapid advances. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
The strategy seems to be to cut
Eastern Ghouta in half. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:46 | |
Negotiations between the rebel
groups and the Russians have been | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
going on for quite some time. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
It is not clear if the objective
is a ceasefire or the effective | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
surrender of the rebels. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
The biggest rebel group says
it is regrouping after a retreat. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:03 | |
The fighting is still going on,
for the regime the prize is the end | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
of the last major rebel
enclave around Damascus. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
For the rebels, these
are desperate moments. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
Jeremy Bowen, BBC News, Damascus. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:17 | |
The Irish foreign minister has
suggested that Britain's proposals | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
for the Irish border after Brexit
may be rejected by the EU because it | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
will need to protect how
the single market works. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
Simon Coveney said there was little
new detail on how to avoid a hard | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
border in the Prime Minister's
speech on Friday - | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
today Theresa May said all parties
were committed to avoiding one. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
Here's our Political
Correspondent Eleanor Garnier. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:40 | |
It is more than 300 miles long. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:46 | |
Tens of thousands of
people cross it everyday. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
And more than £1 billion is done
in trade between Northern Ireland | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
and the Republic every week. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
But after Brexit, these roads
will be the new frontier | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
between the UK and EU. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
The challenge, how to keep
this border invisible, | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
when Britain is outside the single
market and the customs union. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:07 | |
We are committed, the Irish
government is committed, | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
all the parties in Northern Ireland,
to making sure there | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
is no hard border. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:12 | |
The Prime Minister's plans
would mean 80% of companies | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
would face no new customs checks
and with new technology, | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
she believes a hard
border can be avoided. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:19 | |
But the Irish government
has its doubts. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:26 | |
I am not sure that the
European Union will be able | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
to support a situation whereby 80%
of companies that trade north | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
and south and south north
will actually protect the integrity | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
of the EU single market. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:40 | |
To sort out this most difficult
of Brexit conundrums, | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
multiple sides need to be won over
and the Prime Minister | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
has already made clear,
she will not accept the fallback | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
position in Brussels. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
One that would see Northern Ireland
stick to the rules and | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
regulations of the EU. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:55 | |
Mrs May believes her latest
thinking is a step forward. | 0:09:55 | 0:10:01 | |
It sets out some ways,
particularly on the issue | 0:10:01 | 0:10:02 | |
of customs across-the-border,
in which we can resolve | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
that and I am pleased
to say that the Taoiseach, | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
when I met him recently,
has agreed that the UK and Irish | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
governments and the Commission can
sit down and look in more | 0:10:09 | 0:10:12 | |
detail at the proposals
that we have put forward. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:19 | |
But others elsewhere
in the UK have their doubts. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:23 | |
I think one of the most shameful
features of the whole Brexit | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
process has been the way,
the negligent way in | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
which the interests of Ireland have
just been cast aside. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
So, when I hear her talk
about technological solutions, | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
I guess there is nobody
who would disagree with | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
the objectives she is setting,
but she is talking at the moment | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
about technological solutions that
perhaps do not even exist. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:44 | |
The Irish border is a key sticking
point in the talks, but other | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
problems need solving, too. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
This week we will get a better
idea of how convinced | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
Brussels is when the EU side
publishes its draft guidelines | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
for the next round of talks
about the shape of our future | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
relationship with
the European Union. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:00 | |
It could give us a big sign as to
whether what the Prime Minister | 0:11:00 | 0:11:04 | |
is asking for is achievable. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:05 | |
Eleanor Garnier, BBC
News, Westminster. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:13 | |
Meanwhile Downing Street says
Theresa May spoke to President Trump | 0:11:15 | 0:11:17 | |
today to express her 'deep concern'
about his plans to | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
impose trade tariffs. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:21 | |
The President wants tariffs
on imported steel and aluminium | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
to protect American jobs. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:24 | |
But the plan has sparked
fears of a trade war | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
between the US, Europe and China. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:33 | |
In the last few minutes,
polling stations have closed | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
in Italy after an election campaign
dominated by concerns | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
about immigration and the economy. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
Both right-wing parties and the anti
establishment Five Star movement | 0:11:41 | 0:11:43 | |
have been predicted to make gains. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
We'll be live in Rome
with our Europe Editor | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
Katya Adler in a moment -
but first here's her | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
report from Naples. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:57 | |
In polling stations across Italy
today there was a sense of | 0:12:00 | 0:12:06 | |
uncertainty. Voters told us they
wanted change, but were not sure | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
which political party to trust.
TRANSLATION: Italians are | 0:12:10 | 0:12:18 | |
frustrated, but the politicians need
to hear our voice. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
TRANSLATION: I am so worried about
Italy. I said a prayer before coming | 0:12:21 | 0:12:24 | |
to vote. Marty Lorenzi and other
centre-left leaders are preparing | 0:12:24 | 0:12:31 | |
for a bruising at the polls. Italian
say they're a top concerns remain | 0:12:31 | 0:12:35 | |
the insecure job market here,
frustrations with the euro and mass | 0:12:35 | 0:12:42 | |
irregular migration from Africa.
This is the leader of the | 0:12:42 | 0:12:47 | |
antiestablishment Five Star
movement, tipped tonight to become | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
the largest political party. I
caught up with him this morning just | 0:12:51 | 0:12:55 | |
before he cast his vote. Traditional
politicians have kept telling | 0:12:55 | 0:13:00 | |
Italians that everything is fine and
it is not. Our motto is to be | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
amongst the people. But the
political system here favours | 0:13:04 | 0:13:11 | |
coalitions, so his controversial
party could be left out in the cold. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:17 | |
Meaning this familiar face could be
kingmaker in stead. Naples and the | 0:13:17 | 0:13:23 | |
south of Italy will swing the vote
today. Silvio Berlusconi campaigned | 0:13:23 | 0:13:28 | |
here this weekend on behalf of a
right-wing Coalition peppered with | 0:13:28 | 0:13:33 | |
populists. Like this rising star
anti-immigration politician voting | 0:13:33 | 0:13:37 | |
today in Milan. So what does this
rather chaotic political picture | 0:13:37 | 0:13:45 | |
being for Italy and Europe? After
all, this is the Eurozone's | 0:13:45 | 0:13:49 | |
third-largest economy. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:55 | |
third-largest economy. Confusion is
quintessentially Italian, Brussels | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
is used to it, the financial markets
seem prepared for it and they | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
believe that a Coalition government
will water down more extremist | 0:14:01 | 0:14:05 | |
populist policies on offer. But how
does that help Italians get to grips | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
with their problems? This person has
a civilian protest party in Naples. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:17 | |
TRANSLATION: These days the Italian
politicians blame everything on | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
immigration but that is alive. Use
an employment, precarious contracts, | 0:14:20 | 0:14:25 | |
that is our problem and that is why
Italians live badly. Their votes now | 0:14:25 | 0:14:32 | |
cars, all Italians can do is wait.
The election will be followed by | 0:14:32 | 0:14:37 | |
weeks of political Horst trading,
change does not come fast in Italy. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:43 | |
Let us join our reporter. Exit polls
are coming through and what do they | 0:14:43 | 0:14:52 | |
suggest? They are literally just
coming in and on this rainy, cloudy | 0:14:52 | 0:15:00 | |
night in Italy, the political
results look equally nebulous and | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
what will be a bitter shock for the
traditional parties, it looks like | 0:15:03 | 0:15:08 | |
the Five Star party has become
Italy's largest party. But with not | 0:15:08 | 0:15:15 | |
enough seats to govern alone in
either the upper or lower house of | 0:15:15 | 0:15:21 | |
Parliament, Silvio Berlusconi's
Coalition looks like it can garner | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
more seats but you can bet that the
next few weeks will be full of | 0:15:24 | 0:15:28 | |
arguing and fighting and horse
trading. That will frustrate Italian | 0:15:28 | 0:15:33 | |
voters enormously after this
divisive election campaign, they are | 0:15:33 | 0:15:37 | |
just demanding change. Thank you.
Higher temperatures are expected | 0:15:37 | 0:15:47 | |
almost everywhere tomorrow. The thaw
has meant flooding in some places | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
and there have been problems on the
railways. Our correspondent is at | 0:15:50 | 0:15:56 | |
Carlisle station. Yes, there have
been some frustrated passengers here | 0:15:56 | 0:16:01 | |
because even though Network Rail has
been able to clear their West Coast | 0:16:01 | 0:16:06 | |
mainline, there is still no trains
heading north to Glasgow. Anyone | 0:16:06 | 0:16:10 | |
wanting to travel has to get a coach
to head into Scotland. There are | 0:16:10 | 0:16:16 | |
other branch lines that are still
blocked by snow and we saw engineers | 0:16:16 | 0:16:20 | |
earlier trying to dig out a train
that had been stuck in a snow drift | 0:16:20 | 0:16:24 | |
for three days and they say the snow
keeps blowing over the line but they | 0:16:24 | 0:16:28 | |
are hoping that things can go back
to something like normal tomorrow. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:32 | |
In other parts of the country, there
are villages in Devon | 0:16:32 | 0:16:40 | |
are villages in Devon that have no
water. There have been power cuts in | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
parts of the country, water
shortages in London and an appeal | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
for blood donors to come forward.
The effects of the storm and snow | 0:16:46 | 0:16:49 | |
are still having an impact. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
Oscars shortly - first,
Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
is at the BBC Sport Centre. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:55 | |
Thank you. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:56 | |
Good evening. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
Andrew Pozzi credited
the late Sir Roger Bannister | 0:16:58 | 0:16:59 | |
as his inspiration behind winning
gold in the 60 metres | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
hurdles at the World Indoor
Athletics Championships. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
Pozzi had to dip on the line to win
by a hundreth of a second. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
Great Britain also won two bronzes
on the final day in Birmingham, | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
taking their medal tally to seven. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:15 | |
Meanwhile, Sir Mo Farah
won the new "Big Half" | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
race in London today. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:19 | |
The four-time Olympic champion,
who's switched from the track | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
to road-running, took part
in the 13.1 mile event as part | 0:17:21 | 0:17:24 | |
of his preparation for next
month's London Marathon, | 0:17:24 | 0:17:27 | |
where he's hoping to become
the first British male | 0:17:27 | 0:17:29 | |
winner for 15 years. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:34 | |
Onto the day's football,
and Match of the Day and Sportscene | 0:17:34 | 0:17:38 | |
are on BBC One later,
so if you don't want | 0:17:38 | 0:17:39 | |
to hear what happened,
you know what to do... | 0:17:39 | 0:17:43 | |
Manchester City are just four
wins away from clinching | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
the Premier League title,
after beating champions, | 0:17:45 | 0:17:47 | |
Chelsea, 1-0 at home. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:50 | |
Bernado Silva's goal means
they're now 18 points clear | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
at the top of the table. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:55 | |
Meanwhile, in the early kick off,
Arsenal's woes continue - | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
beaten by Brighton for the first
time in 36 years, with pressure | 0:17:58 | 0:18:02 | |
mounting on their manager,
Arsene Wenger, who's admitted it's | 0:18:02 | 0:18:04 | |
now almost impossible for Arsenal
to finish in the top four. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:10 | |
In the Scottish Cup,
Carl McHugh scored a wonder-goal | 0:18:10 | 0:18:12 | |
against Hearts to put Motherwell
into the semi-finals. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:17 | |
Rangers are also through - they'll
play Celtic in the last four. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:22 | |
England's women have drawn
with Germany 2-2 at | 0:18:22 | 0:18:24 | |
the "She Believes" Cup. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
Ellen White's goals helped
make-up for some costly | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
errors in New Jersey. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:35 | |
Still Neville... | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
David Beckham was amongst the crowd,
after giving the side | 0:18:38 | 0:18:40 | |
a pre-match pep talk. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:42 | |
His former team mate,
and Lionesses' new manager, | 0:18:42 | 0:18:43 | |
Phil Neville, has now one win
and a draw to his name. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
That's it from me, but there's much
more on the BBC Sport website | 0:18:46 | 0:18:49 | |
including news of a gripping final
at the Welsh Open Snooker. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
The Oscars ceremony gets underway
in just over two hours' time. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
This year's Academy Awards takes
place against the backdrop | 0:18:55 | 0:18:57 | |
of the Harvey Weinstein allegations,
and the MeToo and TimesUp movement. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:03 | |
We'll be live shortly
with our Arts Editor Will Gompertz | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
but first here's his look,
at some of the main contenders. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:08 | |
Here on a still concealed
Oscars red carpet, just | 0:19:08 | 0:19:10 | |
about everybody has got an opinion
about what is going | 0:19:10 | 0:19:12 | |
to happen tonight. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
But what does a genuine Hollywood
insider, with her ear | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
to the ground, think? | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
Does she expect there to be
a post-Weinstein reaction that might | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
change how Academy members vote? | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
I don't think so. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:26 | |
I think Harvey Weinstein has changed
the scope of the awards season, | 0:19:26 | 0:19:30 | |
he has changed what people ask
about on red carpets, | 0:19:30 | 0:19:33 | |
what they wear, he has changed how
the whole industry is behaving, | 0:19:33 | 0:19:36 | |
but, in terms of voting
on the Oscars, I don't think | 0:19:36 | 0:19:38 | |
that there will be a real effect
on who wins and who loses. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:42 | |
My daughter, Angela,
was murdered seven months ago. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
It seems to me that the police
department is too busy torturing | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
black folks and eating Krispy Kremes
to solve actual crime. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
I would be surprised
if Three Billboards repeated | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
its BAFTA success and won Best
Picture. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
That movie is quite polarising among
American Academy members. | 0:19:56 | 0:20:02 | |
The Shape of Water,
Guillermo Del Toro's film is one | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
that has won a lot of the precursor
awards that lead up to the Oscars, | 0:20:04 | 0:20:08 | |
so that seems to be sort
of a rising contender. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
Who is going to win? | 0:20:10 | 0:20:11 | |
I would put my money on Get Out. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:13 | |
Chris was just telling me
how he felt much more | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
comfortable with my being here. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:17 | |
Noted. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:18 | |
What about Best Actor? | 0:20:18 | 0:20:19 | |
You cannot reason with a tiger! | 0:20:19 | 0:20:20 | |
When your head is in its mouth! | 0:20:20 | 0:20:23 | |
The front runner for Best Actor
is Gary Oldman for Darkest Hour, | 0:20:23 | 0:20:26 | |
for whom this is, in many ways,
possibly a lifetime | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
achievement award. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:30 | |
There is an outside contender,
Timothee Chalamet for | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
Call Me By Your Name. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:35 | |
He has kind of captured,
what I think of as the | 0:20:35 | 0:20:38 | |
ingenue spot this year. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:40 | |
Normally reserved for a beautiful
young woman, this year it seems | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
to be held by a beautiful young man. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
Surely Francis McDormand
is a shoo-in as Best Actress for her | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |
performance in Three Billboards
as a grieving, seething mother. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:52 | |
What is with the new
attitude, Dixon? | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
Your mamma been coaching ya? | 0:20:54 | 0:20:57 | |
Her performance in Three Billboards,
if there is any movie that sort | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
of captured the #MeToo movement
and the idea of female rage, | 0:21:00 | 0:21:04 | |
surely it is this one
and McDormand's performance | 0:21:04 | 0:21:06 | |
in the whole film. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:08 | |
Go, girl. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:10 | |
And what about Greta Gerwig
and her film Lady Bird? | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
Could she become just the second
woman in the history | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |
of the Oscars to walk away
with the Best Director prize? | 0:21:15 | 0:21:19 | |
I think Greta Gerwig is a long shot. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
I think her being nominated is
a milestone for a female director. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:25 | |
It has happened so rarely. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:26 | |
Kathryn Bigelow is the only
one who has actually | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
won in the category. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:30 | |
Three, two, one. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:31 | |
Ready? | 0:21:31 | 0:21:32 | |
Action! | 0:21:32 | 0:21:33 | |
Guillermo Del Toro is the person
I would put my money on. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:41 | |
This may very well be the most
sensitive asset ever to be held. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:47 | |
This could indeed be the year,
but The Shape of Water is the film | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
that makes the biggest... | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
Splash? | 0:21:52 | 0:21:53 | |
Will Gompertz, BBC News, Hollywood. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:55 | |
So, as the stars begin to arrive for
the Oscars, we can see that the red | 0:21:55 | 0:22:00 | |
carpet will be a more colourful
affair than the BAFTAs and the | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
Golden Globes and that is because
there is no black dress code. It is | 0:22:03 | 0:22:07 | |
not to say that there is a
forgetfulness about what has been | 0:22:07 | 0:22:12 | |
going on, the stories and the
revelations, there is still a great | 0:22:12 | 0:22:16 | |
deal of seriousness about it and it
is here where you can seal it. The | 0:22:16 | 0:22:21 | |
social engagement has gone to
another level and you can see that | 0:22:21 | 0:22:25 | |
reflected in the movie short listed
for the awards. Thank you. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:29 | |
That's all from me,
stay with us on BBC1 - | 0:22:29 | 0:22:31 |
