:00:00. > :00:00.Tonight a unique insight into the mind of a suicide bomber,

:00:07. > :00:12.Mohammed Daleel, the Syrian who detonated himself in Ansbach

:00:13. > :00:16.last month had been seeing a pyychotherapist in

:00:17. > :00:21.He was looking up with open eyes, even when he should relax

:00:22. > :00:23.and breathe a little deeper, because he said the pictures,

:00:24. > :00:28.the bad pictures can start running the moment the eyes are closed.

:00:29. > :00:32.We'll be discussing the psychology of lone wolf attackers.

:00:33. > :00:34.Jeremy Corbyn says today's Appeal Court decision that Labour

:00:35. > :00:36.party members who joined in the past six months can't

:00:37. > :00:40.vote in the leadership election is undemocratic.

:00:41. > :00:42.I'll be asking Derek Hatton, famously expelled from

:00:43. > :00:47.the Labour Party, whether it's the 80s all over again.

:00:48. > :00:52.Images taken by a professor of English who doggedly goes to work

:00:53. > :00:56.at the university to teach students equally determined to keep learning

:00:57. > :01:09.I will not leave until I lose my soul.

:01:10. > :01:11.Of course sometimes yes, when we were under siege,

:01:12. > :01:13.sometimes I hold my daughter and I ask her for forgiveness,

:01:14. > :01:17.And surfing Newsnight's Olympic sofa tonight, comedian Jenny Eclair.

:01:18. > :01:21.I'm hoping that the very large y-fronted underpants aren't

:01:22. > :01:40.What goes on inside the mind of a suicide bomber?

:01:41. > :01:42.The messages they leave behind tend to be crude Jihadist propaganda.

:01:43. > :01:44.And for obvious reasons, you can't interrogate them.

:01:45. > :01:46.But tonight we can get a real insight.

:01:47. > :01:49.Mohammed Daleel, a 27-year-old refugee from Syria,

:01:50. > :01:53.blew himself up in the little Bavarian town of Ansbach last month,

:01:54. > :02:02.In the 18 months before he wounded eighteen people and then killed

:02:03. > :02:05.himself, he had been receiving treatment for mental illness.

:02:06. > :02:06.Newsnight has learned that a psychological

:02:07. > :02:08.evaluation of Daleel, sent to the German authorities last

:02:09. > :02:11.year, described him as an "extreme character" and one who had

:02:12. > :02:14.the potential to attempt suicide in "spectacular" fashion.

:02:15. > :02:17.That assessment was written by the person who perhaps knew him

:02:18. > :02:19.best, the therapist who treated him over the period of a year.

:02:20. > :02:44.He's been speaking to Gabriel Gatehouse for Newsnight.

:02:45. > :02:46.It was war that drove Mohammad Daleel to Bavaria

:02:47. > :02:48.on a journey from Syria to provincial Germany.

:02:49. > :02:59.But did he come to escape conflict or instead to bring violence

:03:00. > :03:05.with him, to inflict it on the very people who gave him refuge?

:03:06. > :03:17.What motivated this man to blow himself up in this beer garden,

:03:18. > :03:19.one evening last month, claiming to do so in

:03:20. > :03:32.To think that he come with that intention, it doesn't fit for me.

:03:33. > :03:39.In January 2015, he slashed his wrists after he was told he would be

:03:40. > :03:41.deported to Bulgaria, the country where he first entered

:03:42. > :03:47.When he come the first time he has bandages around his arms,

:03:48. > :03:53.They put him into a psychiatric clinic for ten days,

:03:54. > :03:59.and then they left him, then Foreign Office said "OK,

:04:00. > :04:05.you must go back to Bulgaria", then he promised to take gasoline,

:04:06. > :04:08.pour it over him in front of the Bundesamt and set fire.

:04:09. > :04:10.Mohammed Daleel spent dozens of hours in this chair,

:04:11. > :04:17.Along with his wife Gisela, he runs a trauma therapy

:04:18. > :04:23.Over a period of 12 months, Axel and Gisela gained a deep

:04:24. > :04:25.insight into the mind of a future suicide bomber.

:04:26. > :04:28.Mr Daleel, who claimed to be an opposition activist,

:04:29. > :04:36.told them he had been brutally tortured in Aleppo.

:04:37. > :04:39.For example, they fix him to the wall so tight that his veins

:04:40. > :04:41.were still swollen here, and when you stand there,

:04:42. > :04:44.every five minutes you get an electric shock so you cannot

:04:45. > :04:50.Traumatisation has very typical symptoms.

:04:51. > :04:52.If you talk to somebody and he describes the symptoms

:04:53. > :04:57.you can say he has that post-traumatic stress disorder.

:04:58. > :04:59.And did he have post-traumatic stress disorder?

:05:00. > :05:06.He once said - I made a relaxation exercise with him later

:05:07. > :05:08.in the therapy, I asked him "Please close your eyes."

:05:09. > :05:16.He always was looking up with open eyes, even when he should relax

:05:17. > :05:18.and breathe deeper, because he said the pictures,

:05:19. > :05:24.the bad pictures can start running the moment the eyes are closed.

:05:25. > :05:26.After their first session last year, Axel von Maltitz wrote

:05:27. > :05:27.an extensive psychological assessment.

:05:28. > :05:30.Daleel, he said, was a man filled with anger and hopelessness,

:05:31. > :05:40.and in an observation that now seems prophetic he wrote...

:05:41. > :05:42.Mr Daleel is an extreme spirit, and it's possible that he even

:05:43. > :05:48.puts his suicide into a spectacular scenery.

:05:49. > :05:51.In 2013, Daleel gave an interview to Bulgarian television.

:05:52. > :05:54.He told reporters he had been injured in a rocket attack

:05:55. > :05:57.on his home in Aleppo, an attack in which his wife

:05:58. > :06:04.He also alleged he had been mistreated in Bulgarian detention.

:06:05. > :06:06.Von Maltitz's psychological assessment made its way to the

:06:07. > :06:17.They quietly dropped their threat to deport Daleel, who continued

:06:18. > :06:19.living at a hostel in Ansbach while receiving treatment

:06:20. > :06:22.Then, on 13th July, he received another deportation notice.

:06:23. > :06:34.Ten days later, he would blow himself up.

:06:35. > :06:37.Most important that happened was that he got a letter telling,

:06:38. > :06:46.Sure, because that is always what he promised.

:06:47. > :06:52.That is what I warned the officers for.

:06:53. > :06:59."Be careful with him if he has to be deported to Bulgaria."

:07:00. > :07:00.It is impossible to say whether Mohammed Daleel's

:07:01. > :07:02.imminent deportation acted as some sort of trigger.

:07:03. > :07:04.Investigators have told me they are not ruling out

:07:05. > :07:07.the possibility that he may have been in contact with Jihadist groups

:07:08. > :07:11.But they do say that his communication online with people

:07:12. > :07:13.purporting to represent Islamic State was a relatively

:07:14. > :07:21.recent development, and that in the minutes before

:07:22. > :07:23.he detonated his bomb he was communicating with

:07:24. > :07:31.The German security services are working to identify two

:07:32. > :07:41.different types of potential Islamic State attack.

:07:42. > :07:43.One, co-ordinated, IS-led, of the type we saw

:07:44. > :07:48.The other, the self-radicalising lone wolf.

:07:49. > :07:52.Mohammed Daleel, they believe, falls into the second category.

:07:53. > :08:30.Mohammed Daleel managed to kill only himself.

:08:31. > :08:34.From an Islamic State point of view, this was a botched operation.

:08:35. > :08:38.But if he had managed to get through into this square,

:08:39. > :08:41.which at the time was packed with 2,500 concert goers,

:08:42. > :08:43.if he had managed to detonate his bomb properly,

:08:44. > :08:49.this could have been a very, very deadly attack indeed.

:08:50. > :08:52.And that is why Germany is feeling so vulnerable right now.

:08:53. > :08:54.For many Germans, last summer's outpouring of good will

:08:55. > :09:34.towards refugees has given way to suspicion and resentment.

:09:35. > :09:36.For his therapy, Mohammed Daleel travelled from Ansbach

:09:37. > :09:43.He used to ride his bike along the shores of the lake.

:09:44. > :09:44.Across the water, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein.

:09:45. > :09:48.His next session was pencilled in for 1st August.

:09:49. > :09:52.Across the water, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein.

:09:53. > :09:54.Across the water, Switzerland, Austria, Lichtenstein.

:09:55. > :09:56.His next session was pencilled in for 1st August.

:09:57. > :10:00.Much of what he said in the therapy room cannot be verified.

:10:01. > :10:03.His role in the opposition, the torture, the wife and child.

:10:04. > :10:04.Did you get a sense you believed him?

:10:05. > :10:41.Mohammed Daleel was the first Islamic State-inspired suicide

:10:42. > :10:49.But everyone who knew him said he never seemed particularly religious.

:10:50. > :10:55.So, are we giving too much credence to IS for an attack they may have

:10:56. > :10:59.We don't know all the facts, and we probably never will,

:11:00. > :11:01.but from what we do know, it is clear that Mohammed Daleel

:11:02. > :11:08.He was neither just a would-be Jihadist mass murderer,

:11:09. > :11:15.nor was he simply a mentally disturbed victim of war.

:11:16. > :11:21.His case raises difficult questions for German society

:11:22. > :11:26.and beyond about attitudes to refugees, about violence

:11:27. > :11:28.and mental health, and about what it means to call something

:11:29. > :11:40.Now I'm joined by Sajda Mughal, a 7/7 survivor who became

:11:41. > :11:43.a de-radicalisation expert, and Andrew Silke, who has advised

:11:44. > :11:55.Good evening. Unpicking this idea of no simple biepryes Is there a

:11:56. > :11:59.profile a psychological profile who for someone who has radicalised to

:12:00. > :12:04.the point of an tact? There isn't a single profile and people will love

:12:05. > :12:07.if there was, that clearly described every terrorist and suicide bomber

:12:08. > :12:11.but there isn't oneches and instead what we have is a series of profiles

:12:12. > :12:16.and so we have different types of terrorists, and because of that, we

:12:17. > :12:20.don't have a single root cause for why people become involved. Mental

:12:21. > :12:23.illness gets flagged up in cases like this, but the reality most

:12:24. > :12:28.terrorists don't have a history of mental illn't so we can't look at

:12:29. > :12:32.that and see this is the key reason. I have to agree there is not one

:12:33. > :12:37.single factor that leads someone to radicalisation. I have been working

:12:38. > :12:41.on this issue and I have worked with a large number of individuals who

:12:42. > :12:44.have been at risk of radicalisation, mainly young people and I know

:12:45. > :12:49.people who have been radicalised and there are a number of factor,

:12:50. > :12:54.whether it is socioeconomic or whether it is personal grievance.

:12:55. > :12:58.What I was going to say, but there is a big difference, between someone

:12:59. > :13:02.who is suicidal and someone intent on committing suicide and taking

:13:03. > :13:07.people with them. There is a difference for but when we look at

:13:08. > :13:09.this specific case, there were obviously mental health issues there

:13:10. > :13:14.and the questions that I have been left with, when watching the

:13:15. > :13:17.documentary was in terms of of the support the individual was

:13:18. > :13:21.receiving, where they receiving adequate support, there are

:13:22. > :13:26.questions round that, but also questions round who the person was,

:13:27. > :13:30.they were calling in Saudi, and also the internet, you had one of the

:13:31. > :13:32.authorities I think the representatives from Bulgaria who

:13:33. > :13:36.mentioned the internet. Again, with my own experience and research, the

:13:37. > :13:42.internet is playing a part in terms of radicalisation.

:13:43. > :13:44.Do you think IS has changed that, changed the way that radicalisation

:13:45. > :13:52.happens, changed the modus operandi. I think that IS are trying to

:13:53. > :13:56.exploit the internet and opportunities. They are

:13:57. > :13:59.opportunistic. And claim credit for anyone that they can.

:14:00. > :14:05.Do you think in your experience that they focus on people vulnerable? I

:14:06. > :14:09.think that IS are very, no the in the sense of a Machiavellian paster

:14:10. > :14:13.mind in trying to reach and manipulate vulnerable people,

:14:14. > :14:18.looking at the UK experience, ten, 12 years ago, we had the type of

:14:19. > :14:22.charismatic recruiters who were active and out there in society in

:14:23. > :14:25.some places but they have disappeared and shifted into the

:14:26. > :14:30.background. That is very much with IS. I don't think that they have

:14:31. > :14:34.recruiters trying to manipulate people. They are producing

:14:35. > :14:38.propaganda and hoping that an audience receives it.

:14:39. > :14:43.It is hard to work out the depths of the radicalisation. Yes, somebody

:14:44. > :14:50.says that this is for IS but no idea how it is a late radicalisation, or

:14:51. > :14:57.if it was one at all? With this case it was at later stage but I disagree

:14:58. > :15:00.with Andrew in terms of IS and vulnerable groups with my own

:15:01. > :15:06.experience of working with groups of people at risk and publishing a

:15:07. > :15:11.paper on extremism in 2012 we say that there are vulnerable groups

:15:12. > :15:15.that recruiters such as IS pick on. So those with mental health issues,

:15:16. > :15:21.young people, women, and university students.

:15:22. > :15:29.Andrew? I disagree. I think a lot of people with mental health issues are

:15:30. > :15:33.flagged up. There could be 40 or 50% that Channel are working with have

:15:34. > :15:39.mental health issues but people committed with mental health Irishes

:15:40. > :15:42.very few have these problems. People with mental health issues are

:15:43. > :15:48.flagged up with concern but few make it all the way to become terrorists.

:15:49. > :15:53.They are people who are in a sense easy to pick on as being vulnerable.

:15:54. > :15:58.But then there is a decision about the different methods used to

:15:59. > :16:02.counter this. Would you say that the prevent strategy of ideology is a

:16:03. > :16:07.reasonable one? I say we have to look at ideology. To look at it, yes

:16:08. > :16:14.why. There are some individuals who have been radicalised and are at

:16:15. > :16:21.risk. I have worked with them, they have possessed incorrect Islamic

:16:22. > :16:26.ideology. So we have to look at ideology and factors, international

:16:27. > :16:30.grievances, the rise of Islamophobia, alienation, to look at

:16:31. > :16:34.radicalisation broadly and look at mental health. Especially those

:16:35. > :16:38.suffering from mental health. Why? Because if you have a group

:16:39. > :16:42.providing an individual with a sense of belonging, a sense of importance,

:16:43. > :16:47.they can be drawn into that. What is the best way in your view? I

:16:48. > :16:54.agree to look at a range of factors. It is not a one factor problem.

:16:55. > :16:56.What about ideology? It is a facilitator but necessarily

:16:57. > :17:00.important. For me the post important thing is identity. Where the

:17:01. > :17:05.individual's sense of identity lies. It tells me about the vulnerability

:17:06. > :17:10.toed a cadisation than necessarily the ideology that exists. Many of

:17:11. > :17:15.the convicted terrorists I have met with video a poor understanding of

:17:16. > :17:20.the understanding of the cause it is simple, naive in many respects. But

:17:21. > :17:22.what is key is the sense of identity and a sense of connection to the

:17:23. > :17:24.cause. Thank you very much.

:17:25. > :17:27.Lawyers will be the real winners in Labour's endless court battles

:17:28. > :17:30.to sort out who can and cannot vote in the leadership contest.

:17:31. > :17:33.As of tonight, people who joined the Labour party after January 12th

:17:34. > :17:37.Today, three Appeal Court judges ruled in favour of the NEC

:17:38. > :17:40.and overturned the previous ruling that swept away a ban on recruits -

:17:41. > :17:43.estimated to be 125,000 - who joined the party after January

:17:44. > :17:51.Members of Mr Corbyn's team said it was the wrong decision,

:17:52. > :17:54.Well, watching all this from the sidelines, in a week

:17:55. > :17:56.where Labour's deputy leader has complained

:17:57. > :17:57.of "Trotskyite infiltration" - a claim vehemently denied

:17:58. > :18:07.The former deputy leader of Liverpool City Council

:18:08. > :18:10.was expelled from the party in the early 80s for being a member

:18:11. > :18:24.Good evening. Thank you very much for joining us. What do you make of

:18:25. > :18:27.the ruling? When you think about it, 130,000 people joined the Labour

:18:28. > :18:30.Party. A letter from the General Secretary, and told that they could

:18:31. > :18:34.vote for the leader. Then that decision was changed.

:18:35. > :18:37.Now it was changed for a reason reason--the reason being that they

:18:38. > :18:41.thought that the vast majority of them would vote for Jeremy Corbyn,

:18:42. > :18:46.probably true. But for them all of a sudden to say democracy is OK as

:18:47. > :18:51.long as it is the right way, is verging on political corruption to

:18:52. > :18:59.be honest. This week, Tom Watson said: Old

:19:00. > :19:04.hands twist young articles. That's how Trotsky's interests operate. Are

:19:05. > :19:09.trots ski infiltrating the Labour Party? I really don't know what

:19:10. > :19:13.happened to him. I think he has lost it. The reality is that we are

:19:14. > :19:17.talking about hundreds of thousands of people. They don't get their arms

:19:18. > :19:20.twisted. They are people delighted that they are seeing a Labour Party

:19:21. > :19:25.going in a particular way. Where they have seen in the past it has

:19:26. > :19:29.gone the wrong way, now they are in a position to say that there is

:19:30. > :19:34.light at the end of the tunnel. That is encouraging.

:19:35. > :19:39.Why is he saying that? I don't understand. I whole lot of MPs are

:19:40. > :19:43.getting worried. They are seeing the writing on the wall. Not only MPs.

:19:44. > :19:48.But the media are getting worried. What makes me laugh is that we are

:19:49. > :19:53.told all the time that Jeremy Corbyn is unelectable. If that is the case,

:19:54. > :19:57.then the likes of the Mail, the Express, to the Daily Telegraph, and

:19:58. > :20:01.to a degree the BBC, who have supported the Tory policies, that

:20:02. > :20:06.they would be saying this is great, allowing it to happen... Let's talk

:20:07. > :20:10.about your position as far as the Labour Party is concerns, would you

:20:11. > :20:15.like to be part of it? The reason why they are vicious on the attacks

:20:16. > :20:18.on Jeremy Corbyn is because they see that he is electable and pushing

:20:19. > :20:24.forward policies that they are frightened off. My position? I tried

:20:25. > :20:28.to join the Labour Party after 31 years, when was it just after the

:20:29. > :20:33.general election. I got a letter saying "yes", I was a member. I got

:20:34. > :20:38.a membership card. Then three weeks letter saying it had to go to the

:20:39. > :20:44.NEC. I am waiting. But at the end of the day the reality is for 30 years

:20:45. > :20:48.I have never voted for anyone else but Labour never joined another

:20:49. > :20:53.political party, nor campaigned for another party that is the case.

:20:54. > :20:57.Do you want back in? Being a member is irrelevant. The support is

:20:58. > :21:02.important. I have never supported anyone other than the Labour Party.

:21:03. > :21:07.Does Jeremy Corbyn want you back in? Ask him. I have not spoken to him

:21:08. > :21:12.for a good while. Do you see parallels as to what is

:21:13. > :21:19.happening now and the 19-80s? There are. But then Neil Kinnock bullied a

:21:20. > :21:24.lot of people in the councils to go against people in the '80s. Now

:21:25. > :21:29.there is no Neil Kinnock. And B, there is not one council. But an

:21:30. > :21:35.entire movement. That is a very different situation. They are trying

:21:36. > :21:39.everything, bullying through the courts, bullying by using the press

:21:40. > :21:42.and at the end of the day more and more people are joining the Labour

:21:43. > :21:46.Party. And ironically enough, that up until the time that the MPs

:21:47. > :21:50.started this coup, Labour was starting to get to a position where

:21:51. > :21:55.it was starting to tie with the Tories, increasing in popularity.

:21:56. > :21:57.And people saying yes, Jeremy Corbyn is electable, he could be the next

:21:58. > :22:01.Prime Minister. That frightens so many people.

:22:02. > :22:02.Derek Hatton thank you very much for joining us.

:22:03. > :22:06.When we see film of Aleppo, the biggest city in Syria,

:22:07. > :22:08.it's hard to comprehend the visceral hardships, the hunger

:22:09. > :22:12.As a young doctor there told Newsnight last week,

:22:13. > :22:14.it's almost impossible to sleep, not least because you worry that

:22:15. > :22:18.But people are desperate to have some normality,

:22:19. > :22:19.and one such person is Abdulkafi Alhamdo,

:22:20. > :22:21.a professor of English at Aleppo University.

:22:22. > :22:24.He still tries to get to work, and his students too,

:22:25. > :22:27.all the while in fear of a barrel bomb attack, or an air strike.

:22:28. > :22:29.I spoke to him on Skype earlier this evening,

:22:30. > :22:32.and we asked him to take some photographs for us this afternoon

:22:33. > :22:56.Of course, we and many academic people here decided to stay and

:22:57. > :23:02.teach those people who could not have a chance to study in other

:23:03. > :23:07.places. All of those people who wanted to live here, who decided

:23:08. > :23:12.that it would be a challenge to the situation.

:23:13. > :23:16.So I will keep teaching here at the university. I will teach these

:23:17. > :23:20.students who need someone to teach them.

:23:21. > :23:26.Tell me, how dangerous is it for you to get to university each day? Yeah,

:23:27. > :23:32.I mean, when I get to the university, my wife will get worried

:23:33. > :23:37.until I am back. Of course when I get out to the university I will be

:23:38. > :23:41.worried about my wife and my six-month-old daughter.

:23:42. > :23:47.Tell me about the difficult journey that the students make to get to

:23:48. > :23:52.you. How difficult is it for them? Some students have to walk an hour

:23:53. > :24:00.to arrive at the university. Some of the bombs are cluster bombs. Even

:24:01. > :24:03.when they were doing their exams, many bombs, many rockets fell

:24:04. > :24:12.aboutside us. Are other areas of the city not so

:24:13. > :24:17.badly bombed? I can say that my why exactly is not that dangerous

:24:18. > :24:29.according to the other quarters. Because my quarter is so close to

:24:30. > :24:34.that front line. By the way my ball Connie is open to air snipers.

:24:35. > :24:40.We understand that there are 15 doctors left in the area of Aleppo

:24:41. > :24:44.for 300,000 people. Even the normal things for your daughter getting

:24:45. > :24:48.sick at the age of six months, you must pray that does not happen? I

:24:49. > :24:52.want to tell you something, the day before yesterday when the chlorine

:24:53. > :24:58.attack, me and my wife, my daughter, we were affected by the attack. But

:24:59. > :25:03.I couldn't go to that hospitals as they were full of the attack. About

:25:04. > :25:07.100 people were injured. So I could not go as I know that people would

:25:08. > :25:12.not help me. Give me a sense of the route you

:25:13. > :25:18.sent us, a route you would take to buy food. What is it like to go

:25:19. > :25:26.along the street to get food? My road, everything is destroyed. Some

:25:27. > :25:30.people live in this area. But every now and then I would hide as the

:25:31. > :25:40.plane is above me. How do you live with death so close

:25:41. > :25:45.the whole time? We used to living with such danger. Death is

:25:46. > :25:51.everywhere. Now we wake up in the morning and I open my mobile to see

:25:52. > :25:57.and read that my friend died, that my colleague died, my student died.

:25:58. > :26:01.I take it as usual things. I go to those people. I say sorry to their

:26:02. > :26:08.families. And then I continue my life. This is how we live here.

:26:09. > :26:11.You sent us an image of a little boy looking happy eating a raw

:26:12. > :26:18.vegetable. Tell me about that picture. What does it say about

:26:19. > :26:25.Aleppo? Today I could eat for the first time in 40 days, I could eat

:26:26. > :26:31.tomatoes, I was so happy I could take a selfie with the tomorrowatow.

:26:32. > :26:38.All of the people here are so happy as for 40 days, imagine I could not

:26:39. > :26:42.even see a vegetable or a tomato. A vegetable, of any kind. So all

:26:43. > :26:48.people are happy to see that and to eat and taste such a thing. I think

:26:49. > :26:54.these are the most delicious vegetables and fruits that I have

:26:55. > :26:58.eaten in all my life. Obviously this three-hour aid

:26:59. > :27:04.corridor is important. Especially for the children to get nourishment?

:27:05. > :27:09.Russia is said that they will have a ceasefire of 40 hours. But we don't

:27:10. > :27:17.have this ceasefire. They are continuing to bomb every now and

:27:18. > :27:21.then but still the cars could come into Aleppo.

:27:22. > :27:26.Tell me if you could leave, would you, or would you stay in Aleppo?

:27:27. > :27:31.What we want only is freedom. We will not runaway. We will not leave

:27:32. > :27:37.this land for other people. Of course, sometimes yes. When we were

:27:38. > :27:44.under siege, sometimes I hold my daughter and I ask her Forsythe

:27:45. > :27:50.giveness as I have to stay here. I tell her -- I ask her for

:27:51. > :28:00.forgiveness. I have to stay here. She is only six months but I have to

:28:01. > :28:06.stay here. I will not leave her to know that I ran away simply. I

:28:07. > :28:11.stayed here as I wanted to stay. Maybe this affects her future but I

:28:12. > :28:14.can't leave and people will not leave, by the way.

:28:15. > :28:19.Thank you very much. Now, breaking news of a very happy

:28:20. > :28:28.kind. Bradley Wiggins has won gold along with his team in the men's

:28:29. > :28:30.cycling team pursuit. He has now won more medals in Great Britain Olympic

:28:31. > :28:33.On BBC2 now, a long time performer who's slumming it

:28:34. > :28:37.I'm sorry - that's actually tomorrow night, when I'll be reporting

:28:38. > :28:41.No, tonight, I'm afraid it's more from the burger-flecked bean bag

:28:42. > :28:42.of our Olympics correspondent, Stephen Smith.

:28:43. > :28:44.He's been sampling Brazilian cocktails with comedian Jenny Eclair

:28:45. > :28:48.My favourite bit is the Olympic flame.

:28:49. > :28:52.It is like the whole world getting together round a barbecue isn't it.

:28:53. > :28:54.Caipirinhas today, which is the national

:28:55. > :29:09.That will see me through a few hours of Olympic watching.

:29:10. > :29:15.I am hoping that the very large y-fronted underpants aren't

:29:16. > :29:23.Paxman, you know, when he complained about the elastic going.

:29:24. > :29:34.Very few women go back to the Olympics

:29:35. > :29:44.You feel sorry for the ones at the back.

:29:45. > :29:47.If I were her I would pretend to fall.

:29:48. > :29:49.Who is going to claim the gold medal in Rio,

:29:50. > :29:52.up to the line and the gold medal goes to Great Britain.

:29:53. > :30:00.It is a science, isn't it, with this.

:30:01. > :30:04.The old man has talked to me about this, and it sounds like this.

:30:05. > :30:14.Have you ever played to a half-empty house?

:30:15. > :30:16.Do you know, I have played so many half-empty houses they've had

:30:17. > :30:19.to say to me "We just had a change of venue.

:30:20. > :30:23.You know, like you were meant to be in the big hall tonight?

:30:24. > :30:27.We have put some chairs out in the foyer, are you OK with that?"

:30:28. > :30:38.That was uncharacteristic, that landing.

:30:39. > :30:40.There's not enough badly dismounted finishes being covered up.

:30:41. > :31:03.Their position is well and truly dominating here.

:31:04. > :31:06.These women will always be able to wear sleeveless.

:31:07. > :31:08.As long as they keep up a little bit

:31:09. > :31:19.Great Britain's Glover and Stanning defend their Olympic title

:31:20. > :31:25.I've enjoyed it so much, thank you for coming.

:31:26. > :31:28.Can't drink any more though, because I've got my middle-aged

:31:29. > :31:35.I am going to squeeze into a leotard so I will say thank you very much.

:31:36. > :31:52.The fabulous Jenni Eclair and Steve Smith.

:31:53. > :31:54.That's all we have time for - goodnight.
