President Mohammed Morsi, President Morsi Tonight: That's it. The | 0:00:00 | 0:00:04 | |
party's over, or is it? Will the Olympic Games live up to some of | 0:00:04 | 0:00:14 | |

To my fellow countrymen, thank youings thank you for making all | 0:00:15 | 0:00:20 | |
this possible. Are we more likely to volunteer in the future, will we | 0:00:20 | 0:00:25 | |
be better at sport. Will did make us continue to feel better about | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
Britain. Jeremy Hunt will give us his view. What will be the legacy | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
of regenerateing the less well off communities in London? Legacy don't | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
pay the mortgage or the bills. It is all nice, if you don't come from | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
Stratford, or if you're not around here. Does this great British | 0:00:41 | 0:00:45 | |
success story, change what it means to be British? We'll ask the | 0:00:45 | 0:00:50 | |
politicians, those who made the Olympics happen, and those who | 0:00:50 | 0:00:56 | |
simply watched. Plus, the reverse, of a military | 0:00:56 | 0:01:02 | |
coup in Egypt, as the President sacks top soldiers and now the | 0:01:02 | 0:01:11 | |
Good evening, the greatest Games ever, two weeks when Britain | 0:01:11 | 0:01:17 | |
surprised the world and itself. Surpassing all expectations. In the | 0:01:17 | 0:01:22 | |
sea of superlatives the athletes have begun to make their way home. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:27 | |
Before the glow fades, we want to reflect what will last, will it | 0:01:27 | 0:01:32 | |
help the poorer communities L Team GB mean more than a sporting team? | 0:01:32 | 0:01:37 | |
Will we think differently about our country. We begin with this report | 0:01:37 | 0:01:43 | |
from Stephen Smith. # You and me will light up the sky | 0:01:43 | 0:01:48 | |
# If you stay by my side # We can rule the world # | 0:01:48 | 0:01:53 | |
. It was billed as the world's greatest after party which was | 0:01:53 | 0:02:00 | |
inkeeping with the rising note of hyperbole as the Games went on. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:05 | |
Some would feel, sunk by millions of us, didn't fall far short of | 0:02:05 | 0:02:14 | |
that billing. So now the medals have been handed out and we can | 0:02:14 | 0:02:21 | |
stop worrying what a repechage was, how did London 2012 stack up in a | 0:02:21 | 0:02:29 | |
sports event n the space of 16 days, 44 new world records from set, and | 0:02:29 | 0:02:35 | |
117 Olympic records. Team GB returned a haul of 65 medals in | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
different sports. The research can be published tomorrow, will show a | 0:02:38 | 0:02:48 | |

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

from some friends. Akram Khan choreographed some of the Opening | 0:28:14 | 0:28:19 | |

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