0:00:00 > 0:00:04President Mohammed Morsi, President Morsi Tonight: That's it. The
0:00:04 > 0:00:14party's over, or is it? Will the Olympic Games live up to some of
0:00:14 > 0:00:15
0:00:15 > 0:00:20To my fellow countrymen, thank youings thank you for making all
0:00:20 > 0:00:25this possible. Are we more likely to volunteer in the future, will we
0:00:25 > 0:00:29be better at sport. Will did make us continue to feel better about
0:00:29 > 0:00:33Britain. Jeremy Hunt will give us his view. What will be the legacy
0:00:33 > 0:00:37of regenerateing the less well off communities in London? Legacy don't
0:00:37 > 0:00:41pay the mortgage or the bills. It is all nice, if you don't come from
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Stratford, or if you're not around here. Does this great British
0:00:45 > 0:00:50success story, change what it means to be British? We'll ask the
0:00:50 > 0:00:56politicians, those who made the Olympics happen, and those who
0:00:56 > 0:01:02simply watched. Plus, the reverse, of a military
0:01:02 > 0:01:11coup in Egypt, as the President sacks top soldiers and now the
0:01:11 > 0:01:17Good evening, the greatest Games ever, two weeks when Britain
0:01:17 > 0:01:22surprised the world and itself. Surpassing all expectations. In the
0:01:22 > 0:01:27sea of superlatives the athletes have begun to make their way home.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32Before the glow fades, we want to reflect what will last, will it
0:01:32 > 0:01:37help the poorer communities L Team GB mean more than a sporting team?
0:01:37 > 0:01:43Will we think differently about our country. We begin with this report
0:01:43 > 0:01:48from Stephen Smith. # You and me will light up the sky
0:01:48 > 0:01:53# If you stay by my side # We can rule the world #
0:01:53 > 0:02:00. It was billed as the world's greatest after party which was
0:02:00 > 0:02:05inkeeping with the rising note of hyperbole as the Games went on.
0:02:05 > 0:02:14Some would feel, sunk by millions of us, didn't fall far short of
0:02:14 > 0:02:21that billing. So now the medals have been handed out and we can
0:02:21 > 0:02:29stop worrying what a repechage was, how did London 2012 stack up in a
0:02:29 > 0:02:35sports event n the space of 16 days, 44 new world records from set, and
0:02:35 > 0:02:38117 Olympic records. Team GB returned a haul of 65 medals in
0:02:38 > 0:02:48different sports. The research can be published tomorrow, will show a
0:02:48 > 0:02:51
0:02:51 > 0:02:55third of our medallists went to It is going to be a glorious,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58glorious win, Mo Farah for Great Britain, it is gold. Medal-
0:02:58 > 0:03:03clinching performances under pressure, and before the eyes of
0:03:03 > 0:03:09the world, have secured the reputations of an elite group of
0:03:09 > 0:03:12athletes. But it was by no means a cake walk for the politicians. The
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Mayor of London didn't manage to parachute into the Games as
0:03:17 > 0:03:22elegantly of the Queen. But the success of the Olympics and his
0:03:22 > 0:03:25popular touch, mean he's more political capital than most of the
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Cabinet, as he shriel reminded him when reviewing the transport
0:03:28 > 0:03:33performance. And, amongst the people who decided to get out of
0:03:33 > 0:03:41their cars, and get out of the limos and use our wonderful
0:03:41 > 0:03:47transport system, I might mention top athletes as Bryant and wouldn't
0:03:47 > 0:03:51be it be wonderful if the whole of the Cabinet travelled by public
0:03:51 > 0:03:57transport rather than the limos. looked different, three short weeks
0:03:57 > 0:04:04ago. The Army were called in to run security checks after private
0:04:04 > 0:04:10contractors, G4S were forced to admit to a humiliating shambles.
0:04:10 > 0:04:20Today it announced it was giving �2.5 million to the troops as a
0:04:20 > 0:04:23goodwill gesture. # We just want to do the world
0:04:23 > 0:04:29dance social security # Forget about the price tag #
0:04:29 > 0:04:37. Price tag the precise cost to you and I is as hard to get on, as a
0:04:37 > 0:04:41pair of judo PJs, but it was �2.4 billion, and that became more than
0:04:41 > 0:04:47�9 billion in 007, the Prime Minister has said we'll get it all
0:04:47 > 0:04:51back, and more. I'm confident we can derive over �13 billion of
0:04:51 > 0:04:55benefit to the UK economy ofrt next four years as a result of hosting
0:04:55 > 0:04:58these Games. I'm certain when you add in the benefits from
0:04:58 > 0:05:03construction, the total gain will be even greater.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07But what about the fears of undually corporate Games. There
0:05:07 > 0:05:14were complaints over the choice of sponsors and wildernesss of empty
0:05:14 > 0:05:23seats in the early stages. But the number of spectators at the events,
0:05:23 > 0:05:27toped 7.7 million. The people's champions of the Games were the
0:05:27 > 0:05:32volunteers. 70,000 folk who gave up their time to give a helping hand
0:05:32 > 0:05:37and friendly word to proceedings. The wreathed in smiles the
0:05:38 > 0:05:42charismatic Olympics boss, paid them this tribute. We will never
0:05:42 > 0:05:49forget the smiles, the kindness and the support of the wonderful
0:05:50 > 0:05:56volunteers, the much needed heroes of these Games. The Olympics gave
0:05:56 > 0:06:00the world of a view of Britain that might have surprised people, from
0:06:00 > 0:06:04the Opening Ceremony to the diversity of the laureled heroes
0:06:04 > 0:06:10and heroines, it is fair to say the confidence and success on show,
0:06:10 > 0:06:14caught a few of us unawares too. Well just before coming on air, I
0:06:14 > 0:06:18spoke to the Culture Secretary, hupt Hunt. Some people called this
0:06:18 > 0:06:23the best Games ever. Do you think they're right? Well, we are only
0:06:23 > 0:06:28half way through. As someone who has been staying up late at night
0:06:28 > 0:06:32trying to make sure we do everything properly, I'm nervous
0:06:32 > 0:06:36about making those claims. But we have surprised ourselves and the
0:06:36 > 0:06:40world, in the last couple of weeks. I think we have shown the world
0:06:40 > 0:06:44that we are comfortable as a country, with our contemporary
0:06:44 > 0:06:48present, and not just with our glorious past. I think we've shown
0:06:48 > 0:06:52the world we're not a nation of gracious losers and enjoy winning
0:06:52 > 0:06:56as well and that's surprised ourselves, and perhaps, most of all,
0:06:56 > 0:07:01we have welcomeed the world as I think we all knew we would, but
0:07:01 > 0:07:07done it with a huge smile. rightly say we're half way through,
0:07:07 > 0:07:10in the way we have Paralympic Games coming up. If the good stuff is
0:07:10 > 0:07:16true, when did Britain stop being broke snn I don't think F you think
0:07:16 > 0:07:19about the rights we had a year ago, that was a side to modern Britain,
0:07:19 > 0:07:23unfortunately we do have social breakdown and deprived parts of our
0:07:23 > 0:07:26country. What we've seen in the last two weeks is another side to
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Britain. What we've taken away from what's happened in the last two
0:07:30 > 0:07:35weeks, is let's think about how we can bring out the best in our
0:07:35 > 0:07:39country. Are we still broken in some ways, or were we never broken,
0:07:39 > 0:07:44but pockets of problems where they are in ever I country and the
0:07:44 > 0:07:48broken rhetoric in the election, and the rights weren't true?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51would be wrong, after the most amazing two weeks after, ever, to
0:07:51 > 0:07:56pretend we don't have huge social problems to deal with. What I think
0:07:56 > 0:08:02the last two weeks does, is it gives us a way through, and I hope
0:08:02 > 0:08:06that the lessons of the last two weeks will go well beyond sport.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10We've shown what we can do if everyone pulls together and if we
0:08:10 > 0:08:14decide as a country, we want to think big and do something amazing.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18If you think of the intractable social problems, it is when people
0:08:18 > 0:08:26stopped, and steped back and said look let's really think about how
0:08:26 > 0:08:31to tackle this. How do you do it in schools. There are those who say it
0:08:31 > 0:08:35is wrong to scrap the target for children to do PE times. They
0:08:35 > 0:08:38should have targets and have something to work towards, and
0:08:38 > 0:08:41that's Government's role? If the problems are about money and
0:08:41 > 0:08:46targets, the last Government would be the most successful Government
0:08:46 > 0:08:49in history. They threw money, let's take another example, they through
0:08:49 > 0:08:53money into literacy and numeracy and the standards didn't go up. And
0:08:53 > 0:08:59what I think we've learnt from that, and remember, that we came into
0:08:59 > 0:09:06office, in a country where 60% of schoolchildren did no regular
0:09:06 > 0:09:10competitive sport at all. The Prime Minister also said we need to end
0:09:10 > 0:09:15the almost surprise in culture in schools? If we're going to change,
0:09:15 > 0:09:19and not have a country where two- thirds of the children aren't doing
0:09:19 > 0:09:24competitive sport. Are there schools actually where all must
0:09:25 > 0:09:27have prizes, where are the schools do, you know them? We've had had a
0:09:27 > 0:09:33problem with attitudes towards competitive sport. Do you know
0:09:33 > 0:09:38specifically, this is a very generalised charge, do you know any
0:09:38 > 0:09:42specific schools, where we have an all, must have prizes culture?
0:09:42 > 0:09:47has been a problem throughout. you know any schools? You're not
0:09:47 > 0:09:52letting the answer. With the greatest respect. Let me tell you.
0:09:52 > 0:09:58One school, name me one school and we'll move on. Do you know one
0:09:58 > 0:10:04school... It sounds to me, with the greatest respect, you are not
0:10:04 > 0:10:10listening, 60% did no regular competitive sport. All must have
0:10:10 > 0:10:13prizes culture in a specific school, one in your constituency The fact a
0:10:13 > 0:10:16school is not offering competitive sport is an indication they don't
0:10:16 > 0:10:21believe the importance in competitive sport f we're going to
0:10:21 > 0:10:26tackle this, we have to change values and change ethos, and the
0:10:27 > 0:10:35heart of those reforms is that's thousand we do, empower heads to
0:10:35 > 0:10:39create the ethos. The press release was a package worth �13 billion,
0:10:39 > 0:10:42where does this figure come from? We have done analysis of the
0:10:42 > 0:10:47potential contracts we could win for the British economy on the
0:10:47 > 0:10:51basis of the success of the Olympics. We completed the biggest
0:10:51 > 0:10:56construction project in Europe, on time and to budget. And that was, a
0:10:56 > 0:11:00British construction industry that had not always had the best of
0:11:00 > 0:11:05reputations for doing things. Indeed. And we've changed that.
0:11:05 > 0:11:10have �1 billion to look forward to? One is the tourism, on the basis of
0:11:10 > 0:11:16the global profile we've had as a country, we put in place a tourist
0:11:16 > 0:11:22strategy, we think we'll get 4.5 million additional touristness the
0:11:22 > 0:11:27years that follow the Olympics. report by Oxford economics
0:11:27 > 0:11:34commissioned by Lloyds Banking group and they say 70% is generated
0:11:34 > 0:11:37prior to and during the Games, so the legacy is 5 billion, but not 13
0:11:37 > 0:11:40billion. That figure came by investment by UK trade and
0:11:41 > 0:11:46investment, it wasn't the Lloyds Bank report, that was talking about
0:11:46 > 0:11:50a �16 billion. Johnson said that was the figure came from today.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54figure, it is important to say, we've calculated a figure, this
0:11:54 > 0:12:00week we've announced big deals already, for example, the
0:12:00 > 0:12:05commitment to building trains, the development of Battersea power
0:12:05 > 0:12:08station, but the contracts have to be won. It is not something.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12billion is not certain? We have to go out there and win, as a
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Government we want to play our part but it is British businesses that
0:12:16 > 0:12:21have to go out there, we will bang the drum for what we have to
0:12:21 > 0:12:25achieve. People watching, think the Olympic Games is proof a big
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Government effort and spending public money is good for Britain
0:12:29 > 0:12:32because it creates jobs and more money in the future, even though we
0:12:32 > 0:12:35might dispuet the figure? That's trying to be a little bit
0:12:35 > 0:12:41ideological about the success of the last two weeks. Government
0:12:41 > 0:12:47definitely has a role, and I am a big believer in Government being
0:12:47 > 0:12:50big and audacious and ambitious. And �1 billion. We are announcing a
0:12:50 > 0:12:55high investment in high speed rail, despite the difficult circumstances
0:12:55 > 0:12:58because we recognise there's a role for public investment. As also it
0:12:58 > 0:13:02is a week we understand the importance of values in our society.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07And a week where we understand when Government and citizens work
0:13:07 > 0:13:13together with a big shared purpose. That's the magic we want to put in
0:13:13 > 0:13:18a bolt and keep and spread around as long as possible. Thank you very
0:13:18 > 0:13:22much. Now the key location for the Games, Stratford in East London was
0:13:22 > 0:13:29chosen in part because a lot of money might help regenerate one of
0:13:29 > 0:13:33the poorest areas in this country. Borough of Newham played host to
0:13:33 > 0:13:42one of the finest events we can remember, and being associated for
0:13:42 > 0:13:48being the centre of the world for two weeks. But what has it gained?
0:13:48 > 0:13:54Olympics is not about us. It is about the sponsors, the big multi-
0:13:54 > 0:14:01corporate companies. Last few weeks I have been working in the athletes
0:14:01 > 0:14:05village nrk the catering department, and aif he been practice Bol as as
0:14:05 > 0:14:13well. We're saying there should be no development at our expense, the
0:14:13 > 0:14:17way the council doing is doing it, they want to displace us. Newham is
0:14:17 > 0:14:21home to one of the diverse populationness UK and one of the
0:14:21 > 0:14:25least well off. Local people told us despite all the money puched
0:14:25 > 0:14:30into staging the Games, they fear only a small amount will trickle to
0:14:30 > 0:14:34people like themselves. Thank you very much. I was born and bred here.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39I worked in this market for the last 30 years. Raising the
0:14:39 > 0:14:44aspirations, raising the hopes, especially to the local community,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47if anything, it left a little bit of a sad taste, to be honest. For
0:14:47 > 0:14:53seven years we've been looking forward to the Olympics, local, I
0:14:53 > 0:15:00don't know anyone who has a ticket or gone there. Legacy don't pay the
0:15:00 > 0:15:07mortgage or the bills, legacy don't, but listen we don't get regenerated,
0:15:07 > 0:15:12it is nice if you're not from Stratford or not from here. It is
0:15:12 > 0:15:19nice if you're in he had brued. You want to work two miles from where
0:15:19 > 0:15:23the stadium has been, it is not nice. There are those who fear
0:15:23 > 0:15:27regeneration will merely mean gent at the case, leading to the
0:15:27 > 0:15:32displacement of people. The London point with the outstanding views,
0:15:32 > 0:15:36hosted a number of broadcasters, but residents of the carpenters he
0:15:36 > 0:15:41is skate where it is locateed are battling the council to plans to
0:15:41 > 0:15:45demolish their homes to make way for a new development. There's a
0:15:45 > 0:15:48real strong community, and hub of activity here, they don't tend to
0:15:48 > 0:15:53talk about those things. The standard press release from the
0:15:53 > 0:15:58council is it is an area in decline, that's not true. There's buoyant
0:15:58 > 0:16:01businesses here. There's a lively residents, community here. So, why
0:16:01 > 0:16:04destroy that. They think the community is something they will
0:16:04 > 0:16:08create. One of the things they've said is we need to raise the
0:16:08 > 0:16:11aspiration of residents. They're not our parents, they don't need to
0:16:11 > 0:16:18raise my aspiration, I have been to university. There are professionals
0:16:18 > 0:16:23here and other types of people working. It is patronising to say
0:16:23 > 0:16:26raise the residents, without understanding the residents you're
0:16:26 > 0:16:32talking about. There are also plenty who are hopeful the positive
0:16:32 > 0:16:38glow will continue. A recent nationwide guardian ICM poll show
0:16:38 > 0:16:42support is strongest amonk the under 5s. When the bid for the
0:16:42 > 0:16:48Olympics was announced I was at home, I was in primary school, so
0:16:48 > 0:16:52it was about, I was about 11 years old. My mum said to me, great,
0:16:52 > 0:16:58London won. I was young and didn't understand much, I knew it was
0:16:58 > 0:17:03going to be a young celebration. My mum said "you might be working
0:17:04 > 0:17:08there" I thought me, never. She said that, and actually it came
0:17:08 > 0:17:15true, surprisingly enough. I think things will change for the better.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20Me being a younger person, this was my first paid jobs, working for the
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Olympics, although the work was volunteering. Knowing a big company
0:17:24 > 0:17:29and meeting people from a big company, hopefully will open doors.
0:17:29 > 0:17:35My biggest hope for the future, would be, for there to be more jobs
0:17:35 > 0:17:43out there. I graduate, the first thing would be to be employed, and
0:17:43 > 0:17:46that's my biggest hope. One local group the manor garden allotment
0:17:46 > 0:17:51society was forced off the Olympic site when it was redeveloped but
0:17:51 > 0:17:55has been promised a home in the new park.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59We sincerely believe that this community, going into the park, as
0:17:59 > 0:18:06stakeholder and local community is great for the park, we will be the
0:18:06 > 0:18:10first people back in there. We will be the first key to the authorities
0:18:10 > 0:18:14understanding how genuinely, local people, are going to resettle back
0:18:14 > 0:18:18in the environment that will become whatever it is in 20 years' time
0:18:18 > 0:18:23when they're finished doing the building work. I hope it is part of
0:18:23 > 0:18:30a park, that does grow in organic way, and does become somewhere
0:18:30 > 0:18:36where families like to be, and are comfortable and secure. There are
0:18:36 > 0:18:40good examples of post-Olympic legacies in different places, where
0:18:40 > 0:18:45there's failure and those areas have become no-go zones and
0:18:45 > 0:18:49difficult places force people to manage. And that would be a
0:18:49 > 0:18:57dreadful waste of fantastic part of this city. Because, you know the
0:18:57 > 0:19:01East End of London is the best bit of London. Well Sir Robin Wales is
0:19:01 > 0:19:04the Mayor of Newham and board member of the London legacy
0:19:04 > 0:19:08development co-operation. Osita Madu is a Stratford resident and
0:19:08 > 0:19:14Matt Johnson is front man of the band, The The with a long time
0:19:14 > 0:19:18family history in Stratford. What do local people get out of this?
0:19:18 > 0:19:22There must be some good things? good things is there's great
0:19:22 > 0:19:26infrastructure in Stratford in terms of the transport and shopping
0:19:26 > 0:19:30facilities. That's a given, that's why residents want to remain in the
0:19:30 > 0:19:35area. There's a strong community within Stratford, many people lived
0:19:35 > 0:19:40there 60 years or more. The carpenter estate, many people say
0:19:40 > 0:19:43they're home owners, some are retired, there's young
0:19:43 > 0:19:48professionals and need to keep the community together. That's what we
0:19:48 > 0:19:53want. You think that's a risk? we the regeneration planned.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57have to persuade people it will be good for them, because they've been
0:19:57 > 0:20:02putting up with activity there. Why isn't the message this will be good
0:20:02 > 0:20:06because you think it will be good? If you take the carpenters, for
0:20:06 > 0:20:10than half residents have moved to their opportunities. The promise of
0:20:10 > 0:20:14the Games, was that the East End would be transformed. There was a
0:20:14 > 0:20:18sporlts promise, as well, where there's doubts about. We have been
0:20:18 > 0:20:22preparing for this for five, six years, for example, we set up Work
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Place to help people in work. The problem in London is that there's
0:20:26 > 0:20:34international competition for jobs. Just because you make jobs happen
0:20:34 > 0:20:41doesn't mean people get them. When people send out CVs,% get work.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Result we got 5,000 people in work. Why would the Games make a
0:20:45 > 0:20:48stkphirches They've create eted the bill, the council has been working
0:20:48 > 0:20:54on infrastructure for 25 years, they've improved it, and created
0:20:54 > 0:20:57and opened up the land so the jobs will come. In the piece, you were
0:20:57 > 0:21:04talking about economics, 100,000 jobs, vast amount of opportunities,
0:21:04 > 0:21:10but we must get the residents in jobs, we don't want people sweeping
0:21:10 > 0:21:14into it. We put 5,000 residents in local work this year, and that's
0:21:14 > 0:21:18excluding temporary gains jobs. community will stand still, you'll
0:21:18 > 0:21:24change. But, do you see this as a big opportunity, that it will
0:21:24 > 0:21:29change for the better for local folk? I don't think you can
0:21:29 > 0:21:32underestimate the impact that the swift demolition of well known
0:21:32 > 0:21:36streets scapes, buildings, people's homes has on the human psyche. And
0:21:36 > 0:21:41there's a tendency, that when the stuff happens too fast, you break
0:21:41 > 0:21:48the links with the past, with generations. I left there, my
0:21:48 > 0:21:52family had a pub, the skat two Puddings from '6, to 2000, I have
0:21:52 > 0:22:00family living in the area. There was huge amount of change in the
0:22:00 > 0:22:0506s, and early 70s, many beloved buildings were demolished. There
0:22:05 > 0:22:10was a sense of de local election, I was upset looking for my old school
0:22:10 > 0:22:13this. Is a wonderful opportunity. What happened in the 70s, had a
0:22:13 > 0:22:17negative effect. That is a problem, because everybody remembers
0:22:17 > 0:22:20communities up and down the countries that were destroyed in
0:22:20 > 0:22:25different ways, that would be a problem now if you force it We're
0:22:25 > 0:22:29here to do the best we can for the local community. There's a massive
0:22:29 > 0:22:34opportunity, people will come in, but the people in Newham that we'll
0:22:34 > 0:22:39make a difference to. If the East End of London is to get the same
0:22:39 > 0:22:43average levels as London itself, we need to get 0,000 people in Newham,
0:22:43 > 0:22:50long-term unemployed, into work. That's the challenge, the challenge
0:22:50 > 0:22:56is to the people, then they need housing, interesting thing is the
0:22:56 > 0:23:02Olympic Park there's a hundred houses demolished, I will have 320
0:23:02 > 0:23:08family homes, so there are new opportunities, but it must benefit
0:23:08 > 0:23:14the local residents. If house price GCSE up, proconsumeably local
0:23:14 > 0:23:18people would benefit? That's the theory. The practicality of it is
0:23:18 > 0:23:24that that won't happen. The thing that will happen is there's a
0:23:24 > 0:23:30shortage of family homes. The capital estate have lots avail
0:23:30 > 0:23:35available. The proposal is to sell it to a developer. Do you see, as a
0:23:35 > 0:23:39wider point, do you see in any community are people live, we're
0:23:39 > 0:23:43reluctant to change. The change has to come. It's a case of managing it
0:23:43 > 0:23:47We're in favour of regeneration, but it must be done the right way.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51What is happening in terms of Newham's policy is to displace the
0:23:51 > 0:23:54residents that live there, and have something in place of that. What do
0:23:54 > 0:23:59you hope will last from this? We have been talking about the party's
0:23:59 > 0:24:03over and it will go on through the Paralympics too. And that will be
0:24:03 > 0:24:09fun. What do you think might last, that would be good and people will
0:24:09 > 0:24:14hold on to? Involving the local community. Organic, change, and it
0:24:14 > 0:24:22has been a fantastic event. Many people were cynical about it. It
0:24:22 > 0:24:26has been a triech. Now it is the time to involve the local community.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Local residents associations, small businesses rather than large chain,
0:24:30 > 0:24:36and the organisations you set up, working with the council, because
0:24:36 > 0:24:40there's a perception, for many local residents that councils, not
0:24:40 > 0:24:44just in thu ham, Tower Hamlets as well, and Hackney, there's a
0:24:44 > 0:24:49perception, that they're more interested in working with property
0:24:49 > 0:24:53developers and big business. I will be clear, honestly, we do surveyors
0:24:53 > 0:24:57and check, and people are pleased with what we're doing, we're not
0:24:57 > 0:25:01bringing developers, but working with UCL one of the greatest
0:25:01 > 0:25:06universities of the world. We want to bring that level of ability and
0:25:06 > 0:25:10our kids can benefit from. You have to plan. You saw the kid, a young
0:25:10 > 0:25:15woman who saw the owe limb pirkss it is that person, bringing that
0:25:16 > 0:25:22standard and quality in. What you build the homes and properties. I
0:25:22 > 0:25:26say, 320 social houses affordable in the Olympic Village, fantastic
0:25:26 > 0:25:31opportunities, we need to make sure, it comes to jobs. Without jobs the
0:25:31 > 0:25:3620,000 people who need to get in work will not get them. We have to
0:25:36 > 0:25:41support them into it. My great worry is the Government will work
0:25:41 > 0:25:44away from Legacy, it is a 20 year job, the Olympics won't solve it.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49It gives aus start of process, but it is a 20 year job.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54Thank you all very much. None of us can remember an Olympics during
0:25:54 > 0:26:03which we've heard the British National Anthem so often. But when
0:26:03 > 0:26:07you saw a Scotsman, Andy Murray, or a man born in Somalia, Mo Farah
0:26:07 > 0:26:11saying THIS is MY country, did it change anything. Did the success of
0:26:11 > 0:26:16the athletes or organisation, or sense that British could have fun,
0:26:16 > 0:26:19make an enduring difference to the idea, sometimes a vague one, of
0:26:19 > 0:26:29what Britishness is about. Carlo Ann Duffy wrote a poem which
0:26:29 > 0:26:34
0:26:34 > 0:26:38suggests we have changed. Here she Translateing the British, 2012

0:28:14 > 0:28:19from some friends. Akram Khan choreographed some of the Opening
0:28:19 > 0:28:23Ceremony. Anna Minton, Julien Temple
0:28:23 > 0:28:31documentary, London the modern banel lone.
0:28:31 > 0:28:37Toby Young is a journalist, and Tessa Jowell is deputy Mayor of The
0:28:37 > 0:28:42Olympics duties. My duties came to an end. Have the Olympics changed
0:28:42 > 0:28:47us? Changed us? Well, I think it is too early to judge. And I think
0:28:47 > 0:28:51many of the questions that you've asked in the programme this evening
0:28:51 > 0:28:56will take some time to answer. I think that what's happened over the
0:28:56 > 0:29:03last, really, since the torch arrived in the middle of May, is
0:29:03 > 0:29:07that millions of people have had an opportunity to be part and take
0:29:07 > 0:29:11part in a great national moment. As people have said to me, time and
0:29:11 > 0:29:17time again, to feel that they mattered. And that has come as a
0:29:17 > 0:29:23surprise to many people. Now, I think that second, lots of people
0:29:24 > 0:29:30would like that sense of their purpose, and their involvement to
0:29:30 > 0:29:38continue. The question is how? And I think the how will be much more
0:29:38 > 0:29:43than it has to be more than rhetorical. It has to be by a
0:29:43 > 0:29:50redefined relationship between politicians and the wider public.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54And giving as in a way its own way the torch relay did, more power to
0:29:54 > 0:29:58local communities. But also, the explore in detail, but one thing
0:29:58 > 0:30:04was politicians broadly agreed it was a good thing, and that doesn't
0:30:04 > 0:30:08happen. Right from the start, and I firmly believe that if you
0:30:08 > 0:30:14undertake a national project like this, which extends in this case,
0:30:14 > 0:30:19in my involvement for ten years, the Olympiad lasts for seven years,
0:30:19 > 0:30:24the only way to do it is to create cross-party agreement for the role
0:30:24 > 0:30:30of politicians to be defined and then for politicians to stand back
0:30:30 > 0:30:35and allow the wider public, and all the other agencies that have
0:30:35 > 0:30:40contributed so richly and well to play their part. I'm struck, that
0:30:40 > 0:30:46the voice, who wrote the script for the Opening Ceremony, it showed we
0:30:46 > 0:30:50were a better nation than we thought thrrm. Do you think people
0:30:50 > 0:30:56were surprise surprised. Opening Ceremony was filled with
0:30:56 > 0:31:00unexpected moments. It took me by surprise, from the very beginning.
0:31:00 > 0:31:05You could see it deported r departed from the official
0:31:05 > 0:31:08narratives that were expected from this sort of thing. Prime ministers
0:31:08 > 0:31:13since John Major have been struggling to find the definition
0:31:13 > 0:31:17of Britishness, and they failed miserablely. And the opg ceremony
0:31:17 > 0:31:22opened that window, and that's what really gave the Games such a big
0:31:22 > 0:31:28lift. I was such a critic, actually, and remain a critic of the economic
0:31:28 > 0:31:38model behind the Olympics. But the Opening Ceremony was... Recount the
0:31:38 > 0:31:44money. I wouldn't like to put it in those terms. When I saw the flag
0:31:44 > 0:31:47being carried, it was the Britishness never defined in my
0:31:48 > 0:31:51lifetime. A Russian friend said you could poke fun at yourself. The
0:31:52 > 0:31:58China yees couldn't do it, and Russians couldn't do when they have
0:31:58 > 0:32:01the World Cup. He thought that was Gwent essentially Britishness?
0:32:01 > 0:32:05self-prep recase came through in the Opening Ceremony and throughout
0:32:05 > 0:32:12the Olympics with the reaction of some of our Olympics to not winning,
0:32:12 > 0:32:17but we won a lot as well. For me, the real impression left by the
0:32:17 > 0:32:22Olympics was a resurgence sense of identity and Conservatives with a
0:32:22 > 0:32:27small C for whom preserveing the union and clawing some of the
0:32:27 > 0:32:32Sovereign powers back from the EU are the biggest priorities. The
0:32:32 > 0:32:38worry was multi-culturalism trumps any sense of national identity, the
0:32:38 > 0:32:44identity trump a sense of belonging. Two different things? The lesson of
0:32:44 > 0:32:48the Olympics is we may be multi- ethic society now, but we're not
0:32:48 > 0:32:53wholly multi-cultural, in terms Britishness truchs other sources of
0:32:53 > 0:32:59identity. And we saw that when Mo Farah was asked by a journalist,
0:32:59 > 0:33:04whether he would have preferred to run for Somalia, he said absolutely
0:33:04 > 0:33:07not, I am British and when I put on the British shirt I was proud.
0:33:07 > 0:33:12was a clearly a big theme, you looked at people who represent
0:33:12 > 0:33:16Britain and they look like the people we are, which is different
0:33:16 > 0:33:19races and cultures and religions? It is a celebration what we've
0:33:19 > 0:33:24become. We've done that, by allowing people from all over the
0:33:24 > 0:33:28world to come here and be part of Britain but retain, really strong
0:33:29 > 0:33:35cultures they bring to London, particularly the film I just made
0:33:35 > 0:33:39is about London, and change, and improve the city by the diversity
0:33:39 > 0:33:43of experience, and creativity they bring to a place. Upbl like America,
0:33:43 > 0:33:50where I think you are told to forget you're Mexican if you're
0:33:50 > 0:33:55living in America, here, we encourage, that kind of multi-
0:33:55 > 0:34:00culttureism. Do you think it is either or, it is not you're either
0:34:00 > 0:34:07British or something else? Pioneering city that gets beyond
0:34:07 > 0:34:13the old ideas of nationality and creates a dynamic 21st century to
0:34:13 > 0:34:16live. Is that played outside London, you were talking about his film, is
0:34:16 > 0:34:22that true of the rest of the country? I don't know. It is
0:34:22 > 0:34:25difficult to say. For me, all I can add is the same thing, it was
0:34:25 > 0:34:30extremely, there's been as positive reaction from the people. Ever are
0:34:30 > 0:34:33I time I was in the stadium or park, I saw so many different kinds of
0:34:33 > 0:34:40people, that were positive. There was wonderful, there was a sense of
0:34:40 > 0:34:45hope. And not just a sense of hope, but sense of a pride and also, a
0:34:45 > 0:34:51kind of confidence that I've never felt bf. You personally have never
0:34:51 > 0:34:55felt before? I was brorn and brought up here, and I never felt
0:34:55 > 0:34:59such an amount of self-confidence. We need that and that's really
0:34:59 > 0:35:04strong and important for us. There was a lot of that. But if you go
0:35:04 > 0:35:12back to the bid and the way we presented the bid in Singapore, it
0:35:12 > 0:35:18relied heavily on confounding this view, that so many people, in other
0:35:18 > 0:35:23countries other than Britain that we are a nation of Beefeaters that
0:35:23 > 0:35:28spend the weekend in Stonehenge. London is a great diverse and open
0:35:28 > 0:35:32city, that was why we took 20 young people from East London as the face
0:35:32 > 0:35:39of London. They spoke, 2 different languages, 20 different
0:35:39 > 0:35:43nationalities. But I think, before - it is important not to draw
0:35:43 > 0:35:47conclusions about this, too quickly. If you like, allow the public
0:35:47 > 0:35:52debate that's going on, and public reflection, to influence how this
0:35:52 > 0:35:56settles in the medium term. Because around the country, the torch relay,
0:35:56 > 0:36:01interpreted that moment of the torch arriving in a multitude of
0:36:01 > 0:36:06ditch ways. And that varied. From the West Country, to the north of
0:36:06 > 0:36:10Scotland, to the Highlands, and it is important therefore to realise a
0:36:10 > 0:36:15whole lot of identities were captured in this one event.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19remember when the French won the World Cup and there was a multi-
0:36:19 > 0:36:25cultural and multi-racial team and they said it is good for France it
0:36:25 > 0:36:30will bring us together. A year ago there was rights, so it may not
0:36:30 > 0:36:36mean all that much in the long- term? It is hard to say. But, I
0:36:36 > 0:36:39can't imagine that Alex Salmond took comfort from the image of the
0:36:39 > 0:36:44Scottish gold medal winners, wrapping themselves up in the Union
0:36:44 > 0:36:51Jack, that could be a poster for both the labour and the
0:36:51 > 0:37:00Conservative campaign to preserve the union. And Sir Chris Hoy, which
0:37:00 > 0:37:07Alex Salmond tried to claim, Scalolmpian which he claimed to be
0:37:07 > 0:37:09his. Do you think it is Team GB? Well I think, back to your previous
0:37:09 > 0:37:14point about whether or not we'll benefit in the long-term. A year
0:37:14 > 0:37:18later, in France, there were rights. This has been a two week party for
0:37:18 > 0:37:24Britain. But you know the economic realities of where we're at today,
0:37:24 > 0:37:30are far more significant, in terms of the social cohesion, we find
0:37:30 > 0:37:35ourselves a year from now. I mean, my big concern with this, is what
0:37:35 > 0:37:40this legacy will be about. These Games cost us an enormous amount of
0:37:41 > 0:37:44money, far more money than they should have cost us, because we
0:37:44 > 0:37:48pursued the broken economic model based on huge amount of debts and
0:37:48 > 0:37:53inflated property prices. The question is we've paid �10 billion,
0:37:53 > 0:37:58that's a Conservative estimate for this park. Is it going to be our
0:37:58 > 0:38:04park? Or is it in fact solid off to one private company after another?
0:38:04 > 0:38:08Into is it, what's going to happen, is it our park, will we feel
0:38:08 > 0:38:13ownership of the park? Anybody who has any view on this is determined
0:38:13 > 0:38:18it will. And what is interesting, if you go around the park, they're
0:38:18 > 0:38:23closed at the moment, because of the security issues, in relation to
0:38:23 > 0:38:27staging the Games, but the connections, to the surrounding
0:38:27 > 0:38:31boroughs, have been an important and specific action to prevent the
0:38:31 > 0:38:38park becoming a done nut. But there is one other point, which is I
0:38:38 > 0:38:44think that volunteers, 70,000 volunteers are probably the most
0:38:44 > 0:38:50powerful catalyst in this. There are, already, ats of how many more
0:38:50 > 0:38:54people want to volunteer. A big focus next weekend on a join in
0:38:54 > 0:38:58campaign so people go to their local sports clubs, supported by
0:38:58 > 0:39:04owe limb peance, and are able to take up the opportunities to try
0:39:04 > 0:39:08sport. So this is now change will happen. The volunteers question is
0:39:08 > 0:39:14interesting, because knowing London as well as you do, people were
0:39:14 > 0:39:19coming up to volunteers, talking to strangers on the Tubes, and saying
0:39:19 > 0:39:23"what are you doing today" that's change, which you don't find in
0:39:23 > 0:39:29London on the Tube. They played a huge part beyond their job?
0:39:29 > 0:39:32response to it, everyone's had to the Games, is largely because of
0:39:32 > 0:39:37that welcomeing spirit they brought. It is a question of volunteering
0:39:37 > 0:39:42being the answer. What we need in this economic situation is jobs for
0:39:42 > 0:39:49young people. We can't expect them to endlessly volunteer and be
0:39:49 > 0:39:54interns and do unpaid work. There is a danger of Olympic amnesia,
0:39:54 > 0:39:58there's a media feeding frenzy in this euphoria of the moment which
0:39:58 > 0:40:04is well deserved, but, we are back to reality now, the Closing
0:40:04 > 0:40:10Ceremony was an indication of that. It is like a bad night at the Brits,
0:40:10 > 0:40:14compared to the opening one, and we mustn't lose there were rights in
0:40:14 > 0:40:19London a year ago because of the tensions underlying the city.
0:40:19 > 0:40:24that is one thing to volunteer for once in a lifetime chance to serve
0:40:24 > 0:40:29the country in the Olympics and another thing to put the work in a
0:40:30 > 0:40:34local sports club, or other things, it might not carry over? What is
0:40:34 > 0:40:37the question. The volunteers, the question of volunteers, is a one-
0:40:37 > 0:40:42off for the Olympics, because that's full of glamour, because
0:40:42 > 0:40:46that's what people want to do it, but not other things? For me, I was
0:40:46 > 0:40:53amazed by the volunteers, for the amount of work they did. But, for
0:40:53 > 0:40:57me, what's important is the legacy, this idea of the legacy, to create
0:40:57 > 0:41:01self-confidence, is a huge challenge. The fact we have self-
0:41:01 > 0:41:04confidence, if you ask me, am I cynical about the legacy, I would
0:41:04 > 0:41:09say no, I don't want to be cynical. You have to put in a lot of work
0:41:09 > 0:41:14for the legacy to work. It is not just, there is a sense there's a
0:41:14 > 0:41:18danger that, OK, the legacy, we're excited, and ueforism, and
0:41:18 > 0:41:22everything will drop down. But we have to put in as much work as we
0:41:22 > 0:41:27did, in creating the Olympics, during the whole two weeks, immense
0:41:27 > 0:41:31amount of efficient. Do you think, it shoots also the idea that
0:41:31 > 0:41:36British can't do big projects. There's a staple of the whinge
0:41:36 > 0:41:41about ourselves for years, we don't do the big stuff the French do
0:41:41 > 0:41:46that? I visited the park last Wednesday and was so impressed by
0:41:46 > 0:41:50how smoothly it was running and how everyone was getting along and all
0:41:51 > 0:41:57the different bits were measuring together and we went on the javelin,
0:41:57 > 0:42:02this train, that took nine minutes and it felt the narrative of
0:42:02 > 0:42:08national decline, that we couldn't do anything right was at odds of
0:42:08 > 0:42:12what I was witnessing. Did it go on time and on budget? Not depending
0:42:12 > 0:42:19on whiching butt you take, take the Budget I announced in the House of
0:42:19 > 0:42:24Commons in March 2007, �89.3 billion, it is still the Budget and
0:42:24 > 0:42:29the Budget has come in half a billion below that figure. Thank
0:42:29 > 0:42:32you. Now, back to a bit of business, as usual. And the new
0:42:32 > 0:42:37democratically elected President of Egypt, President Mohammed Morsi has
0:42:37 > 0:42:41fired two top soldiers and the Defence Minister. Will this shakeup,
0:42:41 > 0:42:45comes after an attack which is Islamic extremists on border guards
0:42:45 > 0:42:49last week. It prompted new demonstrationness the Tahrir Square
0:42:49 > 0:42:52by President Mohammed Morsi supporters. Our Diplomatic Editor
0:42:52 > 0:42:56is here. Has President Morsi won this battle do you think? Look, it
0:42:56 > 0:43:01is going on between the military and the Muslim Brotherhood for 60
0:43:01 > 0:43:05years, it has been through many stages. What we can say is this an
0:43:05 > 0:43:08important step in restoring the country's progress, towards
0:43:08 > 0:43:12parliamentary democracy and civilian rule, in a place where
0:43:12 > 0:43:15clearly the military have had an enormous amount of influence and
0:43:15 > 0:43:20felt it was their right to run things for many years. Looking at
0:43:20 > 0:43:24the recent past, back in June, things seemed to be comeing to a
0:43:24 > 0:43:27head before the second round of voting in the presidential
0:43:27 > 0:43:29elections, you had this extraordinary decision by the
0:43:29 > 0:43:35constitutional court, anuling parliamentary elections which
0:43:35 > 0:43:40brought in a big majority of Muslim Brotherhood and more militant MPs
0:43:41 > 0:43:44from the movement. You had the voting on the 16th of June, it
0:43:44 > 0:43:49started, two days, that of course was the nation's chance to choose
0:43:49 > 0:43:57what they wanted, and they chose President Morsi, the man from the
0:43:57 > 0:44:01brotherhood. Before the results came in, a whole raft of steps from
0:44:01 > 0:44:07SCAFings the junta who had been running the country, limiting the
0:44:07 > 0:44:13powers of this new President. So, it was pretty clear there was going
0:44:13 > 0:44:18to be a showdown. And when President Morsi met the leadership,
0:44:18 > 0:44:24you could see the former members of SCAF, who were about to hand over
0:44:24 > 0:44:26to him, looking glum-faced around the table. Since then most have
0:44:27 > 0:44:31done, Field Marshal Tantawi, Sami Annan the head of the air force,
0:44:31 > 0:44:36the head of the Navy, shouldn'ted off to a job. Two people elevated,
0:44:36 > 0:44:39the head of military intelligence is now a Defence Minister, and
0:44:39 > 0:44:44another again, chief-of-staff. capacity do they have the
0:44:44 > 0:44:49exgenerals to fight back, or to move things along their way?
0:44:49 > 0:44:52know, last night the crowds were in Tahrir Square called by the
0:44:52 > 0:44:55President to show solidarity, they were delighted what they'd done.
0:44:55 > 0:45:02The capacity of the generals, like Field Marshal Tantawi, who was
0:45:02 > 0:45:09heading for his 80s, well known for dyeing his hair and regarded as Lee
0:45:09 > 0:45:12that are JIC figure, minimal. The question is what will be the
0:45:12 > 0:45:17institution to fight back. They have a huge amount of power in the
0:45:17 > 0:45:21economy, and throughout society in Egypt and the new generals, who
0:45:21 > 0:45:25were now running things are steeped in the ways of the military cast.
0:45:25 > 0:45:30Thank you very much. Before we go, a quick look at the tomorrow's
0:45:30 > 0:45:36front pages. The Times has big race front pages. The Times has big race
0:45:36 > 0:45:45for tickets. And the new number two is satisfy vaidges,ness N he didn't
0:45:45 > 0:45:52like the Closing Ceremony. 2012, things to remember the Olympics by.
0:45:52 > 0:45:57The Daily Mail says it is never too late to exercise. And the financial
0:45:57 > 0:46:03Times says e-mails tell fierce over payment, over a EU Saudi story,
0:46:03 > 0:46:13which you will have to read for yourselves. No doubt we'll be back
0:46:13 > 0:46:37
0:46:38 > 0:46:41to a Games-tree diet tomorrow night. Now the weather, coming in the
0:46:41 > 0:46:46direction, will be wet and windy at times. There will be sunshine on
0:46:46 > 0:46:51Tuesday. A humid day, hazy sunshine but steamy and showers will develop.
0:46:51 > 0:46:55They will be heavy if you catch one, they will be scattered all over the
0:46:55 > 0:47:00UK. It will be difficult to nail down the detail, but if you expect
0:47:00 > 0:47:06one or two, you shouldn't be surprised. Thunder by the afternoon.
0:47:06 > 0:47:10Temperatures, easily getting up into the low to mid-0s, hopefully,
0:47:10 > 0:47:14parts to the south-west Wales, might not do too badly, avaieding
0:47:14 > 0:47:19the showers. But elsewhere, there will be heavy ones. And indeed for
0:47:19 > 0:47:23Northern Ireland, where we had lively thunderstorms today, we
0:47:23 > 0:47:28could see some heavy showers developing again. Winds not too
0:47:28 > 0:47:33strong. For Scotland, some brightness away from the far north-
0:47:33 > 0:47:39east, may stay tkphroomy and damp. On Wednesday, it turns wet and
0:47:39 > 0:47:47windy, across most northern areas, eventually. Rain will be first to
0:47:47 > 0:47:52arrive further south, particularly out west. Let me show you the chart.
