:01:28. > :01:30.school seeking shelter run by the UN, it was there they were killed
:01:31. > :01:34.with a direct hit, it appears tonight from an Israeli shell. 15
:01:35. > :01:39.women and children died in the attack, 200 others were injured. The
:01:40. > :01:43.school had been used as a safe haven for the past few days. Israel's
:01:44. > :01:47.sophisticated weaponry tends to be precise. How did a place of refuge
:01:48. > :01:50.come to be hit, and how does that change what has happened in the
:01:51. > :01:54.conflict. We will speak to the Israeli Government in a moment, and
:01:55. > :02:00.hear from the leader of Hamas too. First a look at what happened today.
:02:01. > :02:04.Blockaded by Israel and Egypt, and densely populated, hiding places
:02:05. > :02:09.from the shelling a are few and far between in Gaza.
:02:10. > :02:15.The United Nations-run school was intended to be one of them. Up to
:02:16. > :02:19.800 families were sheltering there when it was hit. 15 died reportedly,
:02:20. > :02:29.including two UN staff, hundreds more were injured. The local
:02:30. > :02:33.hospital struggled to cope. The multiple medical centres had to
:02:34. > :02:38.receive the wounded. Many people are scared. Their children, the young
:02:39. > :02:45.children and women. Israel says there was a four-hour window for
:02:46. > :02:48.evacuation between 10.00 and 2.00 and Hamas prevented civilians from
:02:49. > :02:56.leaving, and the building was shelled at two. 30. But a UN
:02:57. > :03:00.spokesman posted on Twitterer and said precise co-ordinates had been
:03:01. > :03:08.formally given to the Israeli army. He wrote a few weeks over the day
:03:09. > :03:12.that UNRWA tried to negotiate a window for civilians to leave and it
:03:13. > :03:17.was never granted. The UN has reiterated this statement. This was
:03:18. > :03:20.an emergency shelter. We had given the Israeli authorities the idea of
:03:21. > :03:26.the co-ordinates of this school on 12 separate occasions, most recently
:03:27. > :03:31.ten. 56 this morning, they were fully aware it was a shelter. We
:03:32. > :03:34.knew the situation in the area was deteriorating from a security
:03:35. > :03:38.standpoint. So over the course of the day we tried to co-ordinate a
:03:39. > :03:44.period, a window during which we could withdraw our staff and any
:03:45. > :03:49.displace who had chose to go to a safer location would leave. We never
:03:50. > :03:54.confirmed that window or time fared. The IDF is now investigating whether
:03:55. > :03:58.the fatal shell was errant Israeli fire in response to a local Hamas
:03:59. > :04:02.attack, and accused Hamas of firing rockets in the nearby area at the
:04:03. > :04:06.same time. Israel also claims it has been warning civilians to leave the
:04:07. > :04:10.area for days, because of intelligence that Hamas was
:04:11. > :04:15.illegally exploiting it to store weaponry. What is clear that the
:04:16. > :04:19.Palestinian death toll today climbed to 50, attempts at a truce appear
:04:20. > :04:23.more distant than ever. I spoke to the Israeli Government
:04:24. > :04:27.spokesman before coming on air. This is a tragedy, you see pictures like
:04:28. > :04:31.this and you can't help but be moved. Israel does not want to see
:04:32. > :04:35.any civilian casualties in our operation, not one. And of course
:04:36. > :04:39.these deaths are indeed tragic. It is not yet clear to us exactly what
:04:40. > :04:43.happened in this location. There are a number of different COMPLASHGS but
:04:44. > :04:45.we will get to the bottom of it. But you accept Israel could have been
:04:46. > :05:02.responsible for these deaths? Ut It could have been Israeli fire,
:05:03. > :05:08.there were rockets landing in the area from Hamas, we can't exclude
:05:09. > :05:12.the possibility it was Hamas fire, but it could have been our fire. Our
:05:13. > :05:17.forces were receiving fire from that area, from the immediate vicinity of
:05:18. > :05:19.the hospital, it is possible if our forces returned fire to that it
:05:20. > :05:23.could have been our fire as well. But we have to investigate exactly
:05:24. > :05:27.what happened. You had the precise co-ordinates of that shelter, a UN
:05:28. > :05:31.spokesman tonight has said over the course of the day the UN tried to
:05:32. > :05:36.co-ordinate a window with the Israeli army for civilians to leave.
:05:37. > :05:42.It was never granted. Do you accept that? No, I do not. We accepted
:05:43. > :05:47.there would be a humanitarian corridor to allow people to leave
:05:48. > :05:51.between 10.00 and 2.00 in the afternoon, we accepted that. Why
:05:52. > :05:54.didn't the army get that right? Our information is actually the Hamas
:05:55. > :05:59.terrorists acted to prevent people leaving. Which actually is
:06:00. > :06:03.consistent with a consistent pattern of behaviour that we have seen in
:06:04. > :06:07.other places. We have requested people to leave because there is
:06:08. > :06:11.going to be a combat zone, we don't want innocent civilians and Hamas
:06:12. > :06:17.has asked them to stay. Did you know the building had not been evacuated?
:06:18. > :06:21.At the time I don't know exactly we knew, it was a difficult combat
:06:22. > :06:25.situation when our people were receiving for fire. We had been
:06:26. > :06:28.calling for three days for civilians to vacate that facility, because it
:06:29. > :06:34.was being abused by terrorists who were shooting from that vicinity on
:06:35. > :06:37.our people. Let's be clear the UN... Did you find out if there was
:06:38. > :06:40.children still in that building before you fired? We're not clear it
:06:41. > :06:46.is our fire, you are jumping ahead of what the reality is, let's wait
:06:47. > :06:49.and see. You knew in the morning to evacuate the building, you issued
:06:50. > :06:57.the warning because you were going to fire on the buildings, did you
:06:58. > :07:00.check it had been evacuated? Let's be clear, I didn't know what
:07:01. > :07:05.happened and neither do you, one has to be more judicious before making
:07:06. > :07:08.that sort I have a sum. Can I -- assumption. Can I say the following,
:07:09. > :07:14.there are two example, not that Israel says so, there are two
:07:15. > :07:19.examples that Hamas is storing munitions for their war machine to
:07:20. > :07:22.fire rockets into Israel. The UN Secretary-General himself released a
:07:23. > :07:26.statement, and I can quote, he said specifically those doing so are
:07:27. > :07:34.endangering the lives of innocent civilians. If Hamas is turning UN
:07:35. > :07:39.schools into area where it conducts its terror war machine against
:07:40. > :07:42.Israel the UN Secretary-General said the primary responsibility rests
:07:43. > :07:46.with those terrorists. We don't want to see any fighting around UN
:07:47. > :07:50.facilities, unfortunately the terrorists have forced that fight
:07:51. > :07:53.upon us. The UN told us it tried to co-ordinate a window with the
:07:54. > :07:57.Israeli army for civilians to leave and that was never granted. Now
:07:58. > :08:00.either the Israeli army is not speaking to the Government, or else
:08:01. > :08:06.you are calling him a liar, which is it? Well first of all, let's be fair
:08:07. > :08:10.in a combat situation, reality is very difficult. Anyone in an army
:08:11. > :08:15.can tell you that and anyone who has seen combat can tell you that. My
:08:16. > :08:19.information is Israel agreed to a four-hour period for a humanitarian
:08:20. > :08:22.corridor, and that was disrupted by the Hamas terrorists themselves who
:08:23. > :08:26.didn't want to let the terrorists leave. And that is a consistent
:08:27. > :08:30.pattern. You knew there were children in that building? That is a
:08:31. > :08:34.consistent pattern of behaviour by the terrorists, who deliberately
:08:35. > :08:37.want to leave civilians to protect their military machine. You knew
:08:38. > :08:41.there were children inside that building? I don't know that and you
:08:42. > :08:44.don't know that, I'm sorry that is not correct. You knew it was being
:08:45. > :08:47.used as a shelter by people fleeing the fighting in northern Gaza, you
:08:48. > :08:53.knew there were women and children who had come there to seek shelte We
:08:54. > :08:57.had been asking people to leave. You knew they hadn't been able to leave
:08:58. > :09:01.that building? Once again you are making presumptions, based on
:09:02. > :09:04.information that you have or have not, or what you are suggesting that
:09:05. > :09:08.information you have, we don't know that for a fact. But you said you
:09:09. > :09:12.were going to hit it, you hit it, you killed them, you knew there were
:09:13. > :09:16.children in that building? Sorry, how do you know, the UN itself
:09:17. > :09:20.reported that there was Hamas rocket fire falling in the area, how do you
:09:21. > :09:23.know it was Israel. I'm not excluding the possibility, but it is
:09:24. > :09:28.a difficult combat situation, and you have all the answers. If after
:09:29. > :09:34.the fog of war has passed this does turn out to be the fault of Israel,
:09:35. > :09:39.will you pause, will you reset your rules of engagment tonight? Our
:09:40. > :09:47.rules of engagment are very clear, one does not target civilian, one
:09:48. > :09:50.does not target civilian infrastructure, that is clear and we
:09:51. > :09:55.hold ourselves to high standards. That is not working, if it is not
:09:56. > :09:59.designed to hurt civilian, your strategy is manifestly not working?
:10:00. > :10:02.We are trying to be as surgical as humanely possible in a very
:10:03. > :10:07.difficult combat environment. But I ask you, if you say we cannot return
:10:08. > :10:11.fire, that is forbidden for Israel to return fire because Hamas has
:10:12. > :10:15.adopted these tactic, you are saying Israel has no right to defend itself
:10:16. > :10:19.in the case of thousands of rockets fired at our people. We are trying
:10:20. > :10:23.to be as surgical as is humanely possible in that difficult combat
:10:24. > :10:27.situation, but don't deny country the right to defend itself from the
:10:28. > :10:32.terrorists who are shooting rockets. You have a very effective defence
:10:33. > :10:36.system, it is called the Iron Dome, it stops you for the most part being
:10:37. > :10:42.hit, they don't and they are paying the price with their dead children?
:10:43. > :10:46.No Hamas is responsible for the reality casualties and the
:10:47. > :10:50.Palestinian casualties. They said no to a cease-fire a week ago, a
:10:51. > :10:53.cease-fire proposed by Egypt and supported by the UN and the Arab
:10:54. > :10:59.League. Why is the conflict persitsing because Hamas refuses to
:11:00. > :11:04.accept an Arab League cease-fire proposal. Thank you very much. A
:11:05. > :11:09.little earlier we caught up with the leader of Hamas to ask him whether
:11:10. > :11:12.his organisation uses civilians as human shields, here is his exclusive
:11:13. > :11:19.interview. What would it take for Hamas to sign
:11:20. > :11:23.on to a cease-fire now? TRANSLATION: We want a cease-fire as soon as
:11:24. > :11:28.possible, that's parallel with lifting the siege of Gaza. This is
:11:29. > :11:32.the demand of the Gaza people, I call on the UN, Ban Ki-Moon, the UK
:11:33. > :11:38.and the US to go to the people of Gaza and ask them what they want. I
:11:39. > :11:41.am prepared to accept 100% the consensus of our people in Gaza.
:11:42. > :11:46.What the Americans seem to be working on is a two-stage deal,
:11:47. > :11:51.where there will be a truce were the guns the rockets will stop firing
:11:52. > :11:56.and then there will be a serious negotiation about how to boost the
:11:57. > :12:00.Gaza economy, how to ease the blockade on Gaza and to give the
:12:01. > :12:04.people of Gaza a better life. Are you prepared to accept a two-stage
:12:05. > :12:09.solution to this? TRANSLATION: Regardless of the
:12:10. > :12:14.mechanism, what is important to me is that there should be a genuine
:12:15. > :12:17.guarantee to lift the siege on Gaza. These promises have been made in the
:12:18. > :12:21.past but nothing was done. People cannot go for medical treatment or
:12:22. > :12:25.to work. Why are the people of Gaza being punished for the slow death in
:12:26. > :12:29.the world's biggest prison. This is a crime. We want to halt in the
:12:30. > :12:32.aggression and an end of the siege. We accept clear and precise articles
:12:33. > :12:37.that the international community will commit to. We are eager that
:12:38. > :12:45.the bloodshed should end in Gaza today. Talk of resistance, how can
:12:46. > :12:49.any idea of resistance justify putting rockets in a school
:12:50. > :12:55.building? TRANSLATION: Frankly this is a lie.
:12:56. > :12:58.Let Israel show where are the rocket launchers in Gaza. This is not
:12:59. > :13:04.something that has come from Israel, this is the UN relief and works
:13:05. > :13:10.agency which has said that up to 20 rockets were deposited in a school
:13:11. > :13:15.building inside Gaza, they are furious. The secretary-general of
:13:16. > :13:19.the United Nations has expressed his outrage, he said those responsible
:13:20. > :13:24.are turning schools into potential military targets and endangering the
:13:25. > :13:29.lives of innocent children? TRANSLATION: This is not true.
:13:30. > :13:32.Rocket launchers in Gaza belong to the resistance, they are hidden
:13:33. > :13:39.underground and Israel is unable to reach them. This is why it pretends
:13:40. > :13:43.that they are in civilian as so Israel is hitting hospital, mosques
:13:44. > :13:49.and buildings. The world is sitting idle, it is hypocritical towards
:13:50. > :13:54.Israel but blames the victim. Hamas stands accused of deliberately
:13:55. > :13:58.endangering the lives of Palestinian civilians, the Israeli Government
:13:59. > :14:06.has said you are using Palestinians, men, women and children as human
:14:07. > :14:09.shields? TRANSLATION: This is a lie, Hamas is defending itself and
:14:10. > :14:13.sacrificing its leadership for the sake of its people. The one who is
:14:14. > :14:19.responsible for killing Palestinians is Israel, using F-16s, artillery
:14:20. > :14:23.and all US and western weapons. Hamas and any resistance movements
:14:24. > :14:26.when it defend against the occupier is actually defending its people. We
:14:27. > :14:30.are doing what other people are doing when they are subject to
:14:31. > :14:36.occupation and oppression. But telling people to stay in their
:14:37. > :14:41.homes when it is clear that Israelis intend an attack is in a way
:14:42. > :14:44.condemning them to death? TRANSLATION: This is wrong
:14:45. > :14:49.information, Hamas does not give orders to people to stay inside
:14:50. > :14:53.their homes. Hamas encourages people to stand fast and let the
:14:54. > :14:57.Palestinians show their stead fastness. This is the will of the
:14:58. > :15:01.people. Go to Gaza and see the people in hospitals and see the
:15:02. > :15:05.areas destroyed. These people were determined to preserve their land.
:15:06. > :15:08.You should not put the blame on the victims. The blame should go to the
:15:09. > :15:14.Israeli that has committed this massacre. We have 700 Palestinians
:15:15. > :15:19.killed, most of them are civilians. Where as Hamas is focussing on
:15:20. > :15:23.killing Israeli soldiers who came to Gaza to attack Palestinians. This is
:15:24. > :15:30.the ethical difference between the Palestinian resistance and the
:15:31. > :15:35.Israeli aggression. Let me talk about Hamas's determination, it
:15:36. > :15:42.seems, to continue with the rocket attacks into Israel. This is
:15:43. > :15:49.statement issued by the outgoing President of Israel, Shimon Peres,
:15:50. > :15:53.he said no state in the world would be prepared to accept rockets fired
:15:54. > :15:56.at its mothers and children, or terrorists emerging from tunnels to
:15:57. > :16:03.kill innocent people. Do you understand why the Israelis are so
:16:04. > :16:11.utterly determined to end this threat to their civilian population?
:16:12. > :16:15.TRANSLATION: Is there a state in the world that accepts an occupier and
:16:16. > :16:21.enemy and usurper to come and occupy their land. Who has occupied
:16:22. > :16:23.Palestinian, is it not the Palestine movement and Israel. Doesn't
:16:24. > :16:27.international law state that the West Bank is an occupied land. What
:16:28. > :16:32.has the international community done, the crisis is the problem that
:16:33. > :16:35.the Palestinians are suffering from is the occupation, as Palestinians
:16:36. > :16:40.we accept the international law. But it should be applied to us and the
:16:41. > :16:44.Israelis. Israel is occupying, it is building settlements, Israel is the
:16:45. > :16:49.one w kills, it is making people homeless. Is not the truth that
:16:50. > :16:54.Hamas in many ways is weaker now than it has been for a very long
:16:55. > :16:57.time. You have lost key allies, I'm thinking of the Muslim Brotherhood
:16:58. > :17:01.in Egypt, I'm thinking of your allies in Iran no longer close to
:17:02. > :17:07.you, you are in desperate financial trouble. You can't even afford to
:17:08. > :17:14.pay the salaries of public sector inside Gaza?
:17:15. > :17:17.TRANSLATION: Hamas will not surrender, yes Hamas is going
:17:18. > :17:21.through a difficult time. This could be a wrong miscalculation by
:17:22. > :17:25.Netenyahu, encouraged by sides here and there, that Hamas is weakened
:17:26. > :17:28.and the Gaza people are weakened and exhausted through the siege. He
:17:29. > :17:34.thought that Hamas would be an easy prey, and then he was surprised that
:17:35. > :17:37.the people of Gaza and Hamas are stronger. Difficult circumstances
:17:38. > :17:46.will not break us. Hamas does not fight because it has allies, it
:17:47. > :17:50.fights because it has a just cause. Recession, what recession? The UK is
:17:51. > :17:54.now set to grow faster than any other major economy this year,
:17:55. > :17:58.according to the latest IMF forecast, which even suggests the
:17:59. > :18:07.country has surpassed its previous peak. In terms of output we are back
:18:08. > :18:12.to pre-2008 crash levels. But the financial crisis has radically
:18:13. > :18:16.reshaped the way people are working and who they are working for. We
:18:17. > :18:20.have this report. # A little bit independent

:18:26. > :18:27.# In your talk Figures out tomorrow shows the
:18:28. > :18:32.economy returning to pre-recession peak. Employment was already higher
:18:33. > :18:36.than when the recession began six years ago. More people are choose to
:18:37. > :18:40.go stand on their own two feet and work for themselves. Fewer people
:18:41. > :18:49.are working for the state. This Bristol cafe is owned and run by a
:18:50. > :18:54.former teacher. Eight months ago Melody Beard left the public sector
:18:55. > :19:02.and, with a little help from a local enterprise organisation called Brev,
:19:03. > :19:06.set out for herself, opening The Hungry Catterpillar Cafe. I always
:19:07. > :19:10.wanted to work for myself. I have that personality, maybe it takes a
:19:11. > :19:15.certain type of personality to do that. Working for yourself is not
:19:16. > :19:18.exactly child's play? You need to manage the cashflow and watch that
:19:19. > :19:23.very closely, that is the difference of whether you will stay afloat or
:19:24. > :19:37.not. All of those things you are going Toffler the to have to have
:19:38. > :19:42.the initiative to do it. The three biggest self-employed strayed here
:19:43. > :19:46.but the new self-employed are different. The largest rise is from
:19:47. > :19:49.professional occupation, that is jobs like accountant, consultants
:19:50. > :19:54.and lawyers. 5% of the self-employed describe
:19:55. > :20:02.themselves as happy to be so. Although on average their earnings
:20:03. > :20:06.are 25% below those of employees. The rise in self-employment has been
:20:07. > :20:10.one of the most remarkable features of the recession and recovery.
:20:11. > :20:17.People become self-employed for very different reasons. For some it is a
:20:18. > :20:20.fourth forced choice, others value the freedom and get struck by a
:20:21. > :20:30.great idea. And sometimes find it works better with childcare. In many
:20:31. > :20:34.ways you have the best of bo worlds. There is days when it is a dream,
:20:35. > :20:37.and other days are bonkers. Obviously I'm still providing the
:20:38. > :20:41.lion's share of the childcare, as well as trying to juggle my own work
:20:42. > :20:47.around things. And that can be really quite hardcore. I ask myself
:20:48. > :20:51.do I want to get back into a company, and often the answer is,
:20:52. > :20:55.yes, simply because security does mean a lot. You have a lot more
:20:56. > :21:02.control over the work that you are doing, you can manage your projects
:21:03. > :21:07.without extra pressures added to you, in the public sector everyone
:21:08. > :21:11.wants you to do for more less all the time. That can lead toe a lot of
:21:12. > :21:15.pressure. The big story of the 20th century was the rise of the state
:21:16. > :21:20.and the increase in public sector employment. Already there are signs
:21:21. > :21:25.that the 21st century might look very different. By 2020 more people
:21:26. > :21:29.could be working for themselves than working for the Government. That's a
:21:30. > :21:39.profound change in our economy, which could cause an equally
:21:40. > :21:43.profound shift in our politics. The RSA think-tank has been examining
:21:44. > :21:47.rises in unemployment, and believes it -- the rise of self-employment,
:21:48. > :21:50.and believes it could herald a change in society. We are becoming
:21:51. > :21:55.more individualistic as a society, because we know that one thing that
:21:56. > :21:58.self-employed people enormously value is the freedom to make their
:21:59. > :22:03.own successes and mistakes. They want to be accountable for their own
:22:04. > :22:07.lives. It also has potentially quite big political implication, because
:22:08. > :22:12.we know that people who work in the public sector are more likely to
:22:13. > :22:21.vote Labour. But the research shows that around about 350% 35% of
:22:22. > :22:25.self-employed people believe the Conservative Party to be best for
:22:26. > :22:29.their business, where only 10% say Labour is. The smaller state and the
:22:30. > :22:35.large rise in self-employment are two of many changes in our economy.
:22:36. > :22:39.The economy might be back where it was in 2008, but the impact of the
:22:40. > :22:43.reshaping of the last six years, will be felt for generations to
:22:44. > :22:47.come. Whether or not you believe in the
:22:48. > :22:51.death penalty, only a hardened few would suggest that those who die on
:22:52. > :22:57.death row should take a good two hours to go. That is what happened
:22:58. > :23:00.to double murderer Joseph Wood in a zone national cirriculum the third
:23:01. > :23:05.botched execution in the US this year. Witnesses said he was left
:23:06. > :23:10.snotting and gasping for air, under sedation, as a new cocktail of drugs
:23:11. > :23:15.was administered to him. The cocktail of drugs has changed as a
:23:16. > :23:25.result of embargoes of drugs in the EU who have made the drugs used on
:23:26. > :23:31.death row illegal. This was no miscarriage of justice,
:23:32. > :23:36.25 years ago Joseph Wood killed his ex-girlfriend and her father. He was
:23:37. > :23:40.said to be smiling when he shot both in cold blood at their garage in
:23:41. > :23:47.Arizona. So everybody here from what I heard said it was excruciating.
:23:48. > :23:50.You don't know what excruciating is. What's excruciating is seeing your
:23:51. > :23:55.dad lying there in a pool of blood, seeing your sister lying there in a
:23:56. > :23:59.pool of blood. That's excruciating. This man deserved it. But Wood's
:24:00. > :24:06.execution wasn't straight forward by any means. He hung on for two hours.
:24:07. > :24:10.Gasping for air 600 times. Another controversial death as authorities
:24:11. > :24:14.struggle to get hold of the chemicals needed for a lethal
:24:15. > :24:20.injection. You guys are blowing this all out of proportion about these
:24:21. > :24:25.drugs. This man conducted a horrifying murder and you guys are
:24:26. > :24:32.going let's worry about the drug and how it affected him. Why didn't we
:24:33. > :24:36.give him a bullet, some Draino, why not something else, everybody is
:24:37. > :24:42.worried about the drugs. Drugs have been used on death row since 1982,
:24:43. > :24:46.the idea was to make the process as quick and painless as possible.
:24:47. > :24:53.Until recently three were used, first a sedating agent, then a
:24:54. > :25:02.neuromuscular blocker to cause paralysis, and then a lethal dose of
:25:03. > :25:06.potassium chloride, but a campaign by activists has brought a shortage
:25:07. > :25:12.of one of the drugs. The key moment came in to 12 when a blanket EU
:25:13. > :25:16.export ban came into force. We are seeing states scrambling around to
:25:17. > :25:20.find any drugs and mixing them together in untested and
:25:21. > :25:25.experimental combination, pulling this heavy shroud of secrecy around
:25:26. > :25:28.the whole process. We don't know the quality of the drugs and whether
:25:29. > :25:32.they have been tested to a sufficient degree and the effect it
:25:33. > :25:37.will have on a human being when you inject these drugs. This is the
:25:38. > :25:41.third botched execution this year. Clayton Lockett tried to get up 14
:25:42. > :25:46.minutes after he was injected with a new drug mix. He later died of a
:25:47. > :25:54.heart attack. And Dennis Maguire appeared to gasp and choke for half
:25:55. > :26:06.an hour after he was given Minizolan and hydromorphone, the same two drug
:26:07. > :26:11.combinations used last night. Ten Tennessee brought in new drug
:26:12. > :26:14.cocktails. But they could be challenged in court named cruel
:26:15. > :26:19.punishment which would be unconstitutional. The lethal
:26:20. > :26:23.injection has never been humane, that is a myth. We are seeing the
:26:24. > :26:33.debunking of the myth. The original cocktail had a par littic agent --
:26:34. > :26:37.paralythic agent and that was only to prevent us seeing the torment the
:26:38. > :26:40.victim was in. Now the medical veil is being pulled back and we are
:26:41. > :26:45.seeing the reality of what is happening in the execution chamber.
:26:46. > :26:48.The Governor of Arizona has ordered an investigation into last night's
:26:49. > :26:53.execution, but she said justice had still been done. And Joseph Wood had
:26:54. > :26:59.still died a better death than his two victims on another evening some
:27:00. > :27:08.25 years ago. With me now is the head of Reprieve,
:27:09. > :27:12.and Mark Class whose 12-year-old daughter Polly was raped and
:27:13. > :27:15.murdered in 1993. Mark, where is your daughter's killer now? My
:27:16. > :27:22.daughter's killer has been residing on death row at San equipment tan
:27:23. > :27:27.prison in Northern California, only about fives mimes from my home for
:27:28. > :27:33.the past 17 years. He's in a process of appeals now. The law in
:27:34. > :27:37.California has recently changed which means he won't be executed?
:27:38. > :27:41.There was a federal judge that deemed the death penalty in
:27:42. > :27:45.California cruel and unusual punishment. I would personally take
:27:46. > :27:49.exception with his definition of cruel, as was previously done in the
:27:50. > :27:57.piece that you just showed. But I'm very confident that ruling will be
:27:58. > :28:02.reversed upon appeal. So if your daughter's murderer had been Joseph
:28:03. > :28:05.Wood, who we saw in that film from Arizona who took two hours to die,
:28:06. > :28:11.would you have had a problem with that? No, not at all. From what I
:28:12. > :28:14.hear, and I have heard, in fact, that he did suffer pain during
:28:15. > :28:19.death, but nobody really knows that. The family members of his victim
:28:20. > :28:22.said he died snoring, or that he was snoring for two hours, as did the
:28:23. > :28:26.Sheriff and other representatives from the state. It was only his
:28:27. > :28:32.defence attorneys that claim it w cruel and unusual. Claire? I'm not
:28:33. > :28:36.sure that, my understanding is that various independent reporters also
:28:37. > :28:43.said that it was very disturbing to watch, that he gasped over 600
:28:44. > :28:48.times, and that it seems to me that this being the third one of these
:28:49. > :28:53.botched executions in the past six months, the US really has to look at
:28:54. > :28:57.whether it still gets to execute people, if such execution has to
:28:58. > :29:02.pass the cruel and unusual punishment. Do you accept this is an
:29:03. > :29:05.unintended consequence of the ban that you fought so hard to get, the
:29:06. > :29:11.ban on the export of lethal drugs that has, if you like, left people
:29:12. > :29:15.writhing in agony? It is not the European Union ban, it is the
:29:16. > :29:21.pharmaceutical companies who have said, these guys make medicine, they
:29:22. > :29:24.said they don't want their medicines used to kill people. That is
:29:25. > :29:28.something an organisation can do and I believe it is commendable. What is
:29:29. > :29:32.your response to Claire after hearing that? It is the European ban
:29:33. > :29:36.on the drugs, on the sale of the drugs to the United States. So
:29:37. > :29:41.frankly, there is the blood on the hands of people like Claire for all
:29:42. > :29:46.of these botched executions. I personally wish they would step
:29:47. > :29:51.aside and let us ajudicate justice as we deem fit in our country. It
:29:52. > :29:56.does seem if they are going to kill them way, if they believe in the
:29:57. > :30:01.death penalty it is only made worse for the ban, not better? It is not a
:30:02. > :30:05.European ban, it is American companies that manufacture the drugs
:30:06. > :30:09.and put these agreements in place. You support that? Yes, of course, I
:30:10. > :30:14.believe the death penalty is not something that a state should... And
:30:15. > :30:18.it makes it worse? I think Obama is looking into the question of the
:30:19. > :30:25.death penalty, and the Governor of A Rhone to that is looking at it to --
:30:26. > :30:31.a zonia is looking at it to -- Arizona is looking at it to see if
:30:32. > :30:34.it should continue. Of course people affected by these crimes, including
:30:35. > :30:41.the gentleman on the show, of course they will want to see the people who
:30:42. > :30:46.have caused them that sort of pain torn limb from limb. I have a
:30:47. > :30:52.daughter, if my daughter was killed I would absolutely want that to
:30:53. > :30:55.happen. But I in that situation shouldn't be part of the criminal
:30:56. > :30:59.justice system that deals with that. You could support the death penalty?
:31:00. > :31:03.If somebody killed my daughter I would want the death penalty carried
:31:04. > :31:08.out. That said I don't think I as that victim should get to dictate
:31:09. > :31:12.what happens. Do you believe, that do you think the victims do have any
:31:13. > :31:17.part to play in whether the death penalty should be carried out or
:31:18. > :31:21.not? The word "victim" doesn't exist in the United States constitution.
:31:22. > :31:25.But there are all kinds of rights put forward for the perpetrators of
:31:26. > :31:31.crime. The only way I have in this system at all is if I'm approached
:31:32. > :31:34.by a prosecutor as he's trying to make up his mind about imposing the
:31:35. > :31:39.death penalty or to look for it. I want to be really clear here, I
:31:40. > :31:45.don't want to see anybody torn limb from limb. I do want to see
:31:46. > :31:49.individuals who have been found guilty of heinous murders to be
:31:50. > :31:52.executed if in fact that is what a jury of their peers said and there
:31:53. > :31:56.is no question as to whether or not these individuals are guilty. There
:31:57. > :32:02.is a vast chasam between what she said and I just said. Do you believe
:32:03. > :32:06.that every method used is equally acceptable, would there be a better
:32:07. > :32:10.way, if you like of execution? Yes, absolutely, if people want to do a
:32:11. > :32:17.painless execution that is not going to be prolonged or cruel or unusual,
:32:18. > :32:23.they can do firing squads, that's pretty sure fire, or they can do the
:32:24. > :32:28.guillotine, for odness sake, there is no ambiguity about that, once the
:32:29. > :32:32.head rolls off there is no pain whatsoever, that is a done deal. The
:32:33. > :32:38.guillotine may be a step too far, what about the firing squad, you are
:32:39. > :32:43.not dealing with companies and not putting people in a place where they
:32:44. > :32:47.have to ban exports? There is a specific problem with lethal
:32:48. > :32:51.injection in that it appears to make executions surgical, it appears to
:32:52. > :32:58.make it humane, and it is not. As you were saying earlier the effects
:32:59. > :33:00.are actually horrible. The fact that people receive anaesthetic at the
:33:01. > :33:05.beginning means nobody gets to see that. It is absolutely not the case
:33:06. > :33:11.that lethal injection or execution is humane. At least if one were to
:33:12. > :33:16.be talking about a firing squad or whatever, there would be something
:33:17. > :33:21.less disingenious about that. I think in reality America has
:33:22. > :33:25.invested a great deal in the idea of humane execution, and if someone
:33:26. > :33:28.brought in the guillotine or the fire squad there would be
:33:29. > :33:33.significant investigation around that.
:33:34. > :33:37.Around ?75 million of salvageable material is buried in UK landfill
:33:38. > :33:44.every year. Much of it the old toaster, the laptop and old model
:33:45. > :33:49.cellphone. It includes precious metals too. How did we become such a
:33:50. > :34:07.throwaway society. An audit committee says we need to re-think
:34:08. > :34:14.our economy. We have this report. A kettle with a switch that doesn't
:34:15. > :34:20.work, chuck it. One key on your keyboard not working, begin it. We
:34:21. > :34:26.love our electronic gadgets and gizmo, but one tiny thing going
:34:27. > :34:32.wrong or a new shiny model coming along, the old one ends up on the
:34:33. > :34:39.scrap heap. Electronics is the fastest growing waste stream in the
:34:40. > :34:45.UK. Every year thousands of tonnes of lap tops and other gadgets end up
:34:46. > :34:49.in landfill. Our throw away culture is bad for the environment but good
:34:50. > :34:53.for the economy. It drives innovation because new stuff is
:34:54. > :35:02.better. Imagine if mobile phones hadn't changed in 20 years... Hello.
:35:03. > :35:09.So how can we continue producing better things without throwing away
:35:10. > :35:16.old ones. World record-breaking yachts woman, Dame Ellen McArthur
:35:17. > :35:20.believes the answer lies in a circumstance hall economy. When you
:35:21. > :35:24.sale around the world you take everything you need, and all you
:35:25. > :35:31.have at the end of it is all you have. I have never thought about
:35:32. > :35:36.that concept when I stepped off the boat and I realised the global
:35:37. > :35:41.economy was similar and we have a fine night number of resources and
:35:42. > :35:45.perpouring through them. We have a linear site, we take, make and
:35:46. > :35:51.dispose, when we talk about a circular economy, we design it from
:35:52. > :35:55.the outset for the cone components to flow within a system, rather than
:35:56. > :36:00.stake, make and dispose, you take and make and then feed back into the
:36:01. > :36:08.economy. Some forward-thinking designers are already embracing
:36:09. > :36:15.circular economy ideas. Take the simple light bulb, the new ones are
:36:16. > :36:21.energy efficient, LEDs are made from a complex mix of rare materials. At
:36:22. > :36:26.the moment if you want a new light bulb, you take the old one out,
:36:27. > :36:32.throw it in the waste bin and buy a new one. We create a bulb that means
:36:33. > :36:39.you can update the LEDs in the middle, press the butt onnen to in
:36:40. > :36:45.the middle and as a customer you get the latest one. New ones arrive in
:36:46. > :36:49.the post and the old ones go back. Rather than something going off in
:36:50. > :36:55.the waste treatment and you have no value from. You have can
:36:56. > :37:01.remanufacture it and resell it as a new product.
:37:02. > :37:06.I'm Dave, a designer from the Netherlands, I had an idea for a
:37:07. > :37:12.modular smartphone. Smash the screen, clip on a new one. Want a
:37:13. > :37:17.better camera, no problem. With the modular phone you only replace the
:37:18. > :37:21.parts you need, not the whole handset. Currently they usually only
:37:22. > :37:27.last for two years or something like that, this one you can upgrade every
:37:28. > :37:34.time you get old or repair a part if it gets broken so you don't have to
:37:35. > :37:38.throw it away. The problem is most manufacturers make money by selling
:37:39. > :37:42.lots of products. Not by investing in designs that make their products
:37:43. > :37:51.last longer. But some economists believe this
:37:52. > :37:57.business model will change. That model of creating profits by
:37:58. > :38:02.manufacturing material stuff and pushing it through the system relied
:38:03. > :38:07.on the idea that we had cheap resource prices but resource prices
:38:08. > :38:11.that were continually coming down. Since the millennium things have
:38:12. > :38:15.changed dramatically. Commodity prices are rising fast, more
:38:16. > :38:22.volatile than they ever were before. Two things are driving the change in
:38:23. > :38:26.commodity price, massive expansion of demand, more people wanting more
:38:27. > :38:30.of this material stuff, particularly in the emerging economies, and the
:38:31. > :38:38.second is higher costs associated with supplying it. Our beloved
:38:39. > :38:44.electronics are packed full of precious metals. Making them slim,
:38:45. > :38:50.light and smart. Circuit boards rely on gold to conduct electricity.
:38:51. > :38:56.There is one hundred-times more gold in smartphones than a tonne of gold
:38:57. > :39:02.ore. Each year we dump about 20 tonnes of precious medals in
:39:03. > :39:06.landfill. It would be more if it were for recycling plants like this
:39:07. > :39:14.one in Kent. Many broken and unloved gadgets end up here, where their
:39:15. > :39:23.precious contents are salvaged. What if our electronic goods didn't fail.
:39:24. > :39:28.I'm going to cut this to generate really severe damage. As you can see
:39:29. > :39:35.there is a crack and the only thing I have to do is close the crack and
:39:36. > :39:42.wait for one minute. After one minute I tried to open the crack
:39:43. > :39:45.again. As you can see it is very strong.
:39:46. > :39:49.If we made our gadgets from self-healing plastics they would
:39:50. > :39:52.always look shiny and new. And researchers in America have
:39:53. > :39:58.developed an astonishing self-healing material that can fix
:39:59. > :40:05.electronic circuits. This is a circuit brain, and the electronic
:40:06. > :40:11.brain inside all of your gadget s. If one of them break everything
:40:12. > :40:19.stops works. How the healing capsule works you have teeny amounts of
:40:20. > :40:23.metal, and when it breaks it puts what is necessary in here. It is
:40:24. > :40:30.products like this which will create a circular economy, to use throwaway
:40:31. > :40:34.item, something we love and feel happy about and we don't have to
:40:35. > :40:38.feel the guilt of throwing them away.
:40:39. > :40:42.In case there was a danger that you forgot what was going on in
:40:43. > :40:51.Scotland, a quick reminder of the Commonwealth Games so far.
:40:52. > :40:52.It gives me great pleasure to re-Claire the 20 Commonwealth Games
:40:53. > :41:07.in 2014. # On to the Highlands
:41:08. > :41:12.# We're leaving the lowlands # The mountains and glens stretch
:41:13. > :41:17.before you She's done it
:41:18. > :41:27.# Nessie # I believe in you Ross Murdoch will
:41:28. > :41:30.take the gold for Scotland. The Loch Ness monster and the tea cake, it
:41:31. > :41:34.was a celebration of all things north of the border. Team GB does
:41:35. > :41:38.not exist and Scotland has struck gold four times. But the games
:41:39. > :41:42.finish six weeks before the country, Scotland that is, goes to the polls
:41:43. > :41:46.to decide its future, will the patriotism and the pride play a role
:41:47. > :41:52.in the ultimate result in the referendum. Joining me now musician
:41:53. > :41:56.and commentator Pat Cane, and former minister Brian Wilson. Pat do you
:41:57. > :41:59.believe it will ultimately help the yes campaign? I didn't until I
:42:00. > :42:04.wandered through the streets of Glasgow today. If you are a Scottish
:42:05. > :42:08.football fan you are at best ironic and at worst fatalistic about the
:42:09. > :42:15.outcome of major sporting events. But the city was abuzz today. I
:42:16. > :42:20.thought the ceremony last night was a combination of Gallicness and
:42:21. > :42:24.beauty. The sense of conviviality and well being and gentle
:42:25. > :42:29.positiveness of being a nation in the world whether it is sporting or
:42:30. > :42:33.anything else, I got a sense of the "yes" campaign as well. Why does
:42:34. > :42:39.conviviality and sunshine and happiness mean that Scotland is
:42:40. > :42:42.better alone? Why do you feel and want your country to have a future.
:42:43. > :42:46.Why do you want your country to have a positive future, and how do you
:42:47. > :42:49.think you will get there. That has been the core of the yes campaign's
:42:50. > :42:53.case for the last three years. I think there is an element of
:42:54. > :42:58.demonstrating competence. If everything goes well with the event
:42:59. > :43:02.it is a bit like the spectacle of the Scottish Parliament over the
:43:03. > :43:05.next ten or so years, we have demonstrated we can govern
:43:06. > :43:08.ourselves, one of the things about the event is we can show ourselves
:43:09. > :43:13.off to the wider world. That is quite connected to wanting to be in
:43:14. > :43:22.the world as a nation state. I would say that. I am ain the yes campaign.
:43:23. > :43:27.I think these people in the streets of Glasgow their joy of the event is
:43:28. > :43:30.unrelated to their political opinions and we should keep it that
:43:31. > :43:34.way. What we should be celebrating is the internationalism of the
:43:35. > :43:39.event. The sport, the wonderful weather, Glasgow showing its face to
:43:40. > :43:46.the world, wonderful things to celebrate. Let's pay tribute to the
:43:47. > :43:52.people with the vision to set all this in motion. Anyone who tries to
:43:53. > :43:55.bring politicians into it or draw interm stations around people
:43:56. > :43:59.enjoying themselves will pay a price for that. What I would say is don't
:44:00. > :44:02.do it. Nobody is interested in talking about politics in this
:44:03. > :44:06.context, we're interested in talking about the Commonwealth Games. It is
:44:07. > :44:12.a cynical ploy isn't it, where the public think they are being pushed
:44:13. > :44:19.into a feeling of happiness by a big event and they will resist that? The
:44:20. > :44:24.original definition of the Olympics is 12 days of peace. It is slightly
:44:25. > :44:28.niave to think you can separate international sporting events from
:44:29. > :44:35.political processes. Come on! I think it is a demonstration of how
:44:36. > :44:39.people of Scotland and Glasgow can demonstrate the friendliness and the
:44:40. > :44:42.competence and ability to pull fantastic things off at a global
:44:43. > :44:47.level to the wider world. People can connect that to politics if they
:44:48. > :44:52.want. I will because that is my bent, but other people are happy to
:44:53. > :44:56.enjoy the event. Of course. A lot of the debate up until now has been
:44:57. > :45:02.over the dry macro-economics of what happened to Scotland, this is about
:45:03. > :45:09.identity, pride, passion, it is hitting a different note isn't it?
:45:10. > :45:13.You just stand very strongly against it trying to connect the two things.
:45:14. > :45:17.We all know the timing of a referendum was meant to take account
:45:18. > :45:20.or come off the back of this and the Ryder Cup coming up and so on. It
:45:21. > :45:26.was always planned in that timetable. But I think even within
:45:27. > :45:29.these two years things have changed, I think people have become very
:45:30. > :45:38.resistant to the idea that sports events should be used or manipulated
:45:39. > :45:43.by politicians in that way. Pat says you can't separate them, I think we
:45:44. > :45:46.should all try to. I think 99% of the people out there in the streets
:45:47. > :45:50.of Glasgow are having a great time and want to separate them. We should
:45:51. > :45:54.celebrate the internationalism of is it all and have a good time. You
:45:55. > :45:59.can't have internationalism without nations Bryan, forgot's sake?
:46:00. > :46:04.Nations and states are different things. I believe we have a
:46:05. > :46:10.disagreement on that in the Scottish context. Is there a moment where the
:46:11. > :46:15.tot in you wants to change -- the Scot in you wants to change your
:46:16. > :46:23.mind and say this is brilliant? What about independence? Go on Bryan,
:46:24. > :46:27.break the habit of a lifetime. I didn't get the question, you keep
:46:28. > :46:31.even which raising the question you are trying to introduce something in
:46:32. > :46:38.it, and I don't think people want to be in it. There is more reaction to
:46:39. > :46:42.introducing it as Bryan does, my attitude is suspend the hostilities
:46:43. > :46:47.and let's not judge people on their private and patriotism. Everyone in
:46:48. > :46:51.that swimming arena tonight and in Glasgow, they have exactly the same
:46:52. > :46:56.sentiments of private and patriotism no matter which countries they are
:46:57. > :46:59.supporting, let's celebrate it rather than being divided in any
:47:00. > :47:02.way. Just time quickly to whizz through
:47:03. > :47:49.the papers: That's all from us tonight, hope you
:47:50. > :48:14.can join us again, from all of us here good night.
:48:15. > :48:25.Hello again after another warm night it could be a grey start in the
:48:26. > :48:29.morning for eastern England, the low cloud will get burned back to the
:48:30. > :48:33.coast. More than we had today, mind you. Elsewhere lots of sunshine,
:48:34. > :48:36.building heat triggering a few showers in the south. It is possible
:48:37. > :48:40.we could get a shower along the north coast of Northern Ireland. It
:48:41. > :48:41.will be the last hot day for Northern Ireland
