I love that sign, blacks for Tromp, I love that's fine, thank you. We're | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
doing great with the African-American community. | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
But it is right to say that Hillary Clinton has | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
The early signs are that black voters are not yet turning out | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
in the numbers that the Clinton campaign would want. | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
We'll ask why, and take the measure of what is happening | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
A black church in Mississippi is torched and vandalised with the | :00:29. | :00:41. | |
words vote Trump. Democrats believe it is an attempt to keep | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
African-Americans away from the polls. | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
And we're in Florida, a state without which no candidate | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
Also, we'll hear from Hollywood actress Susan Sarandon, | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
who is not voting for either of them. | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
I don't vote with my joiner, this is bigger than that. I don't want to | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
spend a lot of time talking about Trump and Hillary. | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
Also tonight - anyone out there old enough | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
We're right to be scared about inflation. It tells us somewhere or | :01:10. | :01:18. | |
other, the macroeconomic framework is wrong. It tells us about | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
dysfunction somewhere in the economy. | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
And this - on British television's 80th birthday, | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
the lengths we go to to track down, or even remake, the lost classics. | :01:26. | :01:42. | |
Someone once said that the only reason we have elections is to see | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
Not quite true in the case of this American election, | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
where a lot is at stake, but the polls are complex to read, | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
and the late Trump momentum makes it an interesting contest to watch. | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
Trumpeters might like to argue that there is increasing | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
We'll see that it may more likely be a lack | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
But let's go straight to Florida, where Mr Trump was campaigning | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
Mark, everybody has memories of Florida playing such a big part on | :02:10. | :02:21. | |
results counting night of American elections past. What is the picture | :02:22. | :02:32. | |
that tonight? Well, absolutely, as you say, in 2012 Eric Obama won this | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
state by just 74,000 votes. But because of the way the system works, | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
that gave him the thumping 29 seats all vote of the electoral college, | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
the Florida electoral college. More than 10% of the total you need | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
across this whole country to get the White House. It is the key battle | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
ground state. Since 2012, the number of registered Republicans has grown | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
by 400,000 vis-a-vis Democrats. So that's why Donald Trump today was | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
saying that he is confident they are going to win, but they don't want to | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
show too much confidence. Can you call it? Well, look, it's definitely | :03:13. | :03:24. | |
got... Hillary Clinton was in the lead. It has definitely got title. | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
It is now too close to call. One poll today had Hillary Clinton one | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
point in front, others say it is within the statistical margin of | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
error. One key thing here - 3.7 million Florida citizens have | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
already voted. The polling amongst them should give the hell Hillary | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
Clinton camp some confidence. Thank you, Mark. Sorry about the delay on | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
the line. Somehow, she is not getting support | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
from those that might support her. There are those on the left | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
who don't like Trump, but simply think voting for more | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
of the same old people like Hillary I suppose it is a philosophy that | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
says you don't use a vote to select Someone who encapsulates this | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
problem for Clinton is the Hollywood actress and activist Susan Sarandon, | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
and I spoke to her A Bernie Sanders supporter, | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
she has strong views At the moment, she is opposing | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
a proposed oil pipeline. As you will hear, it's | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
the Dakota Access pipeline. It's an oil pipeline | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
which is stretching across North Dakota and an area | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
of land belonging to She's also concerned about it having | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
a similar effect to fracking I started by asking her why | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
she was campaigning on the issue. These corporations, these big banks, | :04:35. | :04:47. | |
everybody who is funding this makes sure that people don't know what is | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
going on. People didn't understand fracking for the longest time. In | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
order to stop the fracking in the States that have stopped it, it | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
wasn't because it was progressive, it was because people finally | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
understood, and people were turning on their taps and finding out water | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
shooting out of it, they were not Democrats or Republicans, they were | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
people who couldn't even live in their houses. This is not a partisan | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
issue, except for the fact that nobody has information. One of the | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
things we have to do now, just like in South Africa, is to start | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
withdrawing our money from the big banks that are funding the | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
pipelines. People like me who know about the pipeline and have been | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
opposed to the pipeline, we have to put our money where mouth is. You | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
have to stop liking the wit and passing pleats around. If you can't | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
go there, at least withdraw your money -- liking tweets. I understand | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
why supporting the Green candidate, there are so many people that will | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
have the worldview that you have who will say, that is an indulgence at | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
this point, it is a battle between Clinton and Trump, ultimately you | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
have to make a choice between one of those two. OK, ultimately I don't | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
have to make the choice to vote against my own best interests, | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
because the reason we are in the situation we're in is because | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
everyone has been voting the lesser of two evils also wrong. It's | :06:08. | :06:15. | |
important to have a new party it is important to get these independent | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
candidates to 5%. Hillary Clinton is almost certainly going to win, she's | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
got all of the press, the networks, the newspapers behind her. It's | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
important to vote not only with my conscience but to get that 5% up. A | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
lot of people don't want to vote at all. I would urge them to vote the | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
down ticket, but for the future. Abraham Lincoln was the third party | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
candidate. The DNC, having seen what I saw during the primary, is so | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
corrupt it is not worthy of our votes. If you woke up on Wednesday | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
morning next week and it is president Trump, you won't feel an | :06:49. | :06:56. | |
ounce of contrition or regret? Everything that I care about, I'm | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
worried about the war is, I'm worried about Syria and all of these | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
things that actually exist. I'm worried about fracking and the | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
environment. No matter who gets in, they don't address these things, | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
because money has taken over our system. For me, it doesn't matter. | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
The fact that Bernie Sanders, you have been a big fan of him and | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
supported him, he says, you've got to vote for Hillary and make that | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
choice in this election. Does that carry no weight with you? Bernie | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
also said, no matter who I tell you to vote for, don't vote with me, | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
vote with your heart. The thing you should be focusing gone, that we | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
have to focus on, is taking the Senate and the House back. If you | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
notice all the talk about the Supreme Court, Judge Obama hasn't | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
been able to get his guy in there. We have to take it with | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
progressives, the House and the Senate. That is where things are | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
going to be decided. We have to get the money out of that part of the | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
super delegates who also lobbyists. Citizen united has done terrible | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
things to the government. You have to go and vote down, that is equally | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
as important, that's what we are going to be left with. Depending on | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
what happens the House and the Senate, nobody can get anything | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
done. A lot of young women think it is the most natural thing in the | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
world that you might have a woman president. A lot of women of your | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
generation might take the view that that is a big thing for the United | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
States to elect a woman president. Does that not sway you to say, | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
Hillary Clinton, first woman president, that would be a big | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
moment for the US, in a good way? You know, I want the right woman. | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
There are women that have, you know, great women that have, that I | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
admire, that have headed nations, and you've had a woman, and I don't | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
know how you felt about that. I don't vote with my gender, this is | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
bigger than that. I don't want to spend a lot of time talking about | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
Trump and Hillary, that's not why I'm here. This is bigger than who | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
wins the election. This water... I mean, what is everything, it's not | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
going to matter what happens in this election if we don't have water. And | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
we are in a very, very dangerous place all over. You have fracking | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
issues in England. We have to start looking at the greed that is | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
corrupting our water source for future generations. And on top of | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
that, the racism that goes into what's going on in this pipeline. | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
Susan Sarandon, it's been interesting hearing that | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
perspective, thank you so much. You're welcome. | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
Now, Hillary Clinton's problem Part Two. | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
She needs black and Hispanic voters on her side. | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
Not just to support her in opinion polls, but to actually go out | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
African Americans certainly did vote when Obama was on the ticket, | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
and for the Democrats, it would be huge if they could | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
bottle that support and carry it into this and future elections. | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
But the indications from early voting though are that the Obama | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
Perhaps lack of enthusiasm affects that community. | :09:55. | :10:09. | |
It is no wonder, that it's all hands on deck to mobilise that support. | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
Here is somebody who has dedicated her life to making | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
While Donald Trump and his dad were being sued, by the Department | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
of Justice for denying housing the African-American families... | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
No, I'm not making this up, I'm just stating facts. | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
At that same time, Hillary was going undercover from school | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
to school to make sure that disadvantaged kids were getting | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
That tells you something about their respective values. | :10:35. | :10:44. | |
And Hillary hasn't stopped fighting for justice. | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
Hasn't stopped fighting for equality ever since. | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
Her heart has always been in the right place. | :10:51. | :10:52. | |
Race is definitely an issue. What are you hearing that? Well, today we | :10:53. | :11:15. | |
awoke to news that a black church in Mississippi had been thwarted and | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
found lies with the words, vote Trump. Police are calling it a hate | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
crime that amounts to vote in the mid-. It is an extreme case, but one | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
that the Democrats fear is happening in several other states, suppression | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
of the black vote. North Carolina, a critical swing state, has seen early | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
voting Beckett hailed in many black neighbourhoods through a new | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
Republican-backed law, indeed, a federal appeals court has accused | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
those behind it of an almost surgical assault on back turnout. | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
Other residents have found themselves removed from the | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
electoral register without being advised how or even why. Democrats | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
believe it is a thematic attempt to keep African-Americans from the | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
polls, knowing or believing that they would go frequent and over | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
Trump. Hillary's problem is not just the suppression of those black | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
votes, is it? I guess it's not. It's also of course the personalities | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
involved. Obama won 92% of the African-American vote and be under | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
45 is. They fear that Clinton just won't have that same appeal. Here is | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
what you have to wonder is Donbas might early voting is where | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
Democrats get their numbers up. Republicans tend to leave it | :12:27. | :12:36. | |
conservatively until the day itself. Nobody has counted any actual | :12:37. | :12:38. | |
ballots yet. But the data suggests that African-Americans are failing | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
to vote at those levels they did four years ago. We've heard Obama | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
earlier, we've heard him on the stump for Clinton, he is usually | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
relaxed, dropped joking around. But last night there was a new urgency | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
in his voice. It was petitioning people to go out and vote. Clearly | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
there may not be the same incentive for them to vote Clinton as they did | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
Obama. But think about this, if the black vote stays at home it is also | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
in some sense a referendum on what he himself is achieved or fail to | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
achieve in his time in power. Thank you, Emily. | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
We're joined now from Florida by Leslie Wimes, | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
founder and President of the Democratic | :13:15. | :13:16. | |
Thank you for joining us. Just describe what you think is | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
happening? In Florida, do you think there is a large degree of | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
African-American abstention in this election? Thank you for having me. I | :13:27. | :13:34. | |
think what has happened is Hillary Clinton's campaign decided that they | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
were going to just use surrogates to get the African-American vote out. | :13:39. | :13:46. | |
And that was a mistake. We love President Obama, we support | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
President Obama, but that love and support has not transferred to | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
Hillary Clinton. What she needed to do was engage the African-American | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
community on her own. Her campaign needed to get into the communities, | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
engage the people and, you know, encourage the African-American | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
community to vote for her on her own merit. And that didn't happen. | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
Because that didn't happen, she's not seeing the numbers in the early | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
voting. You know, we're going to go out, we're going to listen to Barack | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
Obama, we are going to enjoy his rallies. But, you know, she did not | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
present her case to the community. And you're seeing it in the numbers. | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
She is not getting people to the polls. Would you say that the | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
African-American community or indifferent between a Clinton | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
victory and they Trump victory? Are they quite prepared to say, Trump | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
wins, that's OK with us? I don't think that it is... I wouldn't look | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
at it that way. I think what it is is the community is saying, you | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
know, what's the difference? I think they are saying that, you know, no | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
matter who gets in, is it going to make a difference to our issues? She | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
needed to get into the community and speak to the issues. She couldn't | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
just rely on President Obama, and that's what she did. Right now, with | :15:07. | :15:18. | |
President Obama being the president, we're still seeing our young men | :15:19. | :15:20. | |
being shot dead in the streets, we're still seeing our unemployment | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
rates sky-high, and systemic racism. She needed to get in and really, | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
really say, hey, I'm for you, I'm rooting for you. She didn't do that. | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
If she is not going to get into the communities and make her case, | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
what's the difference between her and Trump? It's interesting you | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
should put it that way. Many would say, I mean, you could characterised | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
the Trump candidacy as something of an angry white backlash against | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
political correctness and things that have been done over the last 30 | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
years in the United States. I'm interested that that is not how | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
people are reading it. They are saying, they are all as bad as each | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
other. I'm sorry, what was that? It's just interesting that people | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
would be saying, all of the candidates or as bad as each other, | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
you know, given what looks like quite a big difference between the | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
candidates, from here. What you have do understand is that the black | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
community feels like their boat has been taken for granted for a very | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
long time by the Democratic party. So what the Clinton campaign needed | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
to do was to get into the community and say, we're not taking due for | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
granted. There is not a push to quote the vote, to say, hey, I'm not | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
taking you for granted. It's the same old, same old. If she is not | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
getting into the community and engaging the community it's like, | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
hey, you're taking before granted so why should I get out and support | :16:41. | :16:48. | |
you? You have to look at it like, 2008 and 2012 was historic. You have | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
the first African-American president. There was a connection | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
there. She doesn't have that same black Obama connection, she needs to | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
really get into the community and really push her candidacy, and she | :17:00. | :17:07. | |
didn't do that. How many black Americans do you know that are going | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
to vote for Donald Trump, who say, actually, I like what Donald Trump | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
says about Mexicans and building walls and all that other stuff? To | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
be perfectly honest with you, I know one! | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
LAUGHTER One person has said, I'm going to | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
vote for Donald Trump. I don't know anyone who is going to rush out and | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
vote for Donald Trump, it's just that they are not enthusiastic about | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
Hillary Clinton, that's the big. Is that thing you must reflect on, when | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
Barack Obama became president, we thought we might be in an era of | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
post-racial politics in the US and everything would stabilise. It feels | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
from here as boat race is as big or bigger issue than it has been for a | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
long time. -- that race is as big an issue. It is a remarkably divided | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
society at the moment. You know, it is sad, it is sad that it had to be | :17:59. | :18:07. | |
that way, but it is. That's another reason why she needed to get into | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
the community and say, hey, I'm really pushing for change. It was a | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
great opportunity for her to do that. It is a missed opportunity. | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
We've got rather used to low inflation, | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
So you might like to brace yourself for something a little | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
The fall in the pound is pushing up import prices, and that is feeding | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
One reputable forecast, from the National Institute | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
Now that 4% is best viewed as a one-off price hike. | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
So the good news is that inflation will recede after that. | :18:40. | :18:41. | |
and that will be a hit on living standards. | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
Is this the Brexit bite? Or will we find a way around it? | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
VOICEOVER: For hundreds of years, we have changed our notes and our coins | :18:50. | :19:06. | |
but always asked the same question, how far will our money takers? The | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
past couple of years the cost of living has barely risen at all, we | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
have even had a glee flurry of deflation, but now, prices are on | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
the up, 1% last month. -- a brief flurry. We are now told that was | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
just the start, inflation could hit 4% next year. Inflation works by | :19:26. | :19:33. | |
eroding the buying power of a set amount of money and here is a good | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
example, this is a heavy silver ornate coin, from 1887, this was | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
worth four shillings. Back then, we can establish that it would have | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
bought you about ?25 worth of goods, using today's values, but it was | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
actually worth it for shillings, and in today's money, that is the | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
equivalent to just 20p. The intervening 130 odd years, the | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
buying power of a coin like this has gone down by over 100 times. | :20:03. | :20:09. | |
Inflation has been low for years, today's report predicted rising | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
sharply in the coming months, it puts the blame for that in one | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
place, the plunging value of the pound, which will make imported | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
goods more expensive. Once you get to four or 5%, you will notice, the | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
price of milk, other prices, will be rising. It is something that is | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
going to hurt people. Next year will be worrying for other reasons as | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
well. There is the risk associated with the exit from the European | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
Union and we must understand the responses of firms and households, | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
which may be to rein back investment and increase levels of saving, all | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
of which will add to their down demand. I am worried for that reason | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
and naturally I worry for people who will feel of worse in the year then | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
they are today, that is not a good place to be. For the now, the Bank | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
of England has targeted inflation of 2%. Economists have long agreed that | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
gently rising prices are good for the economy, but still, you mention | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
inflation and lots of us tend to shudder. Why are so many people | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
nervous about inflation? They have heard about things like this, this | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
is a Weimar Republic 50 million mark note, remember, the hyperinflation | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
there, it was dwarfed by Yugoslavia, in the 1990s, this banknote is worth | :21:25. | :21:34. | |
500 billion! This is the highest in the nomination banknote ever | :21:35. | :21:42. | |
printed, from Zimbabwe, the $100 trillion note...! Nobody is | :21:43. | :21:44. | |
suggesting that hyperinflation is on the way to Europe or the UK, what it | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
is the memory of economic disasters such as this which still cloud | :21:48. | :21:55. | |
thinking. We already seeing a real-world impact on the fall in | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
sterling, tomorrow the RAC will announce research showing the price | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
of petrol rising at its fastest rate in three and a half years. Diesel | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
has gone up even more, all because oil is sold in dollars. For those on | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
tight incomes or getting by on limited savings, the prospect of | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
high inflation is an unwelcome spectre. This does look like bad | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
news for savers, there is a growing gap between the rate of interest | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
they can get on cash, because of monetary policy, and the standard of | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
living costs, inflation numbers, which will squeeze the spending | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
power of the savings they have got. It will further force savers to look | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
at the stock market as an alternative, the only place that can | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
generate meaningful long-term returns but that does come with | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
investment risk. There has been a run of inflation forecast recently, | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
and 4% is the highest peak I have heard predicted, few doubt inflation | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
is coming back. With it, questions that banks and households have not | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
had to worry about full-year. -- have not had to worry about for | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
years. STUDIO: Prison staff are warning | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
of a crisis in the jails and it seems their concerns | :23:13. | :23:14. | |
about violence and suicide The Justice Secretary Liz Truss met | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
union leaders today, and is publishing | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
a white paper tomorrow. Now, if there are two | :23:21. | :23:22. | |
approaches to penal policy, the reformist one and the "lock em | :23:23. | :23:24. | |
up and throw away the key" one, it seems that Liz Truss is more | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
on the reforming side. Our Political Editor | :23:29. | :23:30. | |
Nick Watt is with me. Big moment tomorrow, this takes | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
place against the backdrop of increased violence in prison the big | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
announcement from Liz Truss, she will announce she is setting aside | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
another money to recruit an extra two and a half thousand prison | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
officers, to deal with that end violence and increased use of drugs. | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
Whitehall sources are saying this is absolutely a break with the approach | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
of her predecessor but one, Chris Grayling, as part of the deficit | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
reduction plan, cutting the number of prison staff as the prison | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
population increase. What about the broader issue, of how you look upon | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
and reform prison system? If it is adios Chris Grayling, it is viva | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
Michael Gove, there had been an assumption that she was distancing | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
herself from him when she said she could not commit to his prison | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
reform plan, but she is going to embrace the key elements of that, | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
and there are two key principles, principal number one, greater | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
autonomy from prison governors, helping them to set health and | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
education budget so that they can give prison is purposeful activity | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
so they are better placed when they come out of prison and you hope to | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
reduce the reoffending rate. In return for the autonomy, much | :24:46. | :24:47. | |
greater transparency, the publication effectively of league | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
tables of prisons, to identify the successful ones and the failing | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
ones. Why, if Liz Truss is embracing this revolution from Michael Gove, | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
was she so cautious in September? When she turned up in the department | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
in July, she opened the prison reform locker, it was empty, because | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
Michael Gove had been thinking of other things...! The referendum. | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
Amid ongoing tensions between Vladimir Putin and the West, | :25:16. | :25:17. | |
Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko recently warned that his country | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
could face a "full scale invasion from Russia". | :25:21. | :25:22. | |
One woman who says she is determined at all costs to fight Russian | :25:23. | :25:25. | |
Earlier this year, Savchenko, a former Ukrainian military pilot, | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
was released from a Russian gaol in a prisoner exchange. | :25:29. | :25:30. | |
She had been sentenced to 22 years for killing two Russian journalists | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
in eastern Ukraine, charges she denied. | :25:34. | :25:35. | |
On her return home she was hailed as a hero and a symbol | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
She's now a member of the Ukrainian Parliament and has | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
been mentioned as a future presidential candidate. | :25:42. | :25:43. | |
Kirsty Wark has been to interview her and hear her | :25:44. | :25:45. | |
First, what was behind her recent trip to Moscow, | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
her first time on Russian soil since her release. | :25:49. | :26:24. | |
Did you fear for your safety? Are you afraid of anything? | :26:25. | :26:40. | |
You were the very first Ukrainian military pilot who was a woman. How | :26:41. | :26:51. | |
did you get to do that? The day that you were captured, it I | :26:52. | :27:16. | |
think you said, I think I read that if you had had a grenade in your | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
hand, you would have set it off. When you were captured, you went to | :27:20. | :27:28. | |
court, you were in front of Russian judges | :27:29. | :27:36. | |
you define them by giving them the middle finger! | :27:37. | :28:10. | |
You deny that you had anything to do with the deaths of the Russian | :28:11. | :28:13. | |
journalists? He went on hunger strike, several | :28:14. | :28:32. | |
times. Once, for 83 days. How did you keep going, you must have been | :28:33. | :28:33. | |
weak. How did you manage to deal with not | :28:34. | :28:58. | |
eating? President Petro Poroshenko awarded | :28:59. | :29:34. | |
you hero of Ukraine, the highest award for Ukraine. Now, your | :29:35. | :29:45. | |
approval ratings for Nadiya Savchenko our 44%, for the | :29:46. | :29:50. | |
president, 3%! What you think about that? | :29:51. | :30:20. | |
You very much wanted to be seen as an anti-corruption politician, what | :30:21. | :30:26. | |
do you make of the story in The Times of London today, saying | :30:27. | :30:31. | |
Ukrainian MPs are forced to declare their million pound fortunes, and | :30:32. | :30:37. | |
indeed, each MP on average has close to ?1 million in cash? | :30:38. | :31:05. | |
Do you believe that Crimea will ever be part of Ukraine again? | :31:06. | :31:49. | |
Tell me, how do you think the rest of the world should view Vladimir | :31:50. | :31:54. | |
Putin? Finally, do you ever miss being a | :31:55. | :32:33. | |
fighter pilot? STUDIO: That was recorded earlier | :32:34. | :32:43. | |
today in London. Regular television services | :32:44. | :32:56. | |
in Britain are 80 years old today. We were first with that news | :32:57. | :32:58. | |
because we did it last week. But in those 80 wonderful years, | :32:59. | :33:01. | |
a lot has been broadcast and a lot has been lost, | :33:02. | :33:04. | |
in the old days TV was not really considered a medium to record and it | :33:05. | :33:07. | |
certainly wasn't all uploaded and stored on a big | :33:08. | :33:10. | |
server in Oregon. However, bits of old archive do | :33:11. | :33:12. | |
surface from time to time, and to celebrate TV's 80th, | :33:13. | :33:14. | |
our technology editor David Grossman has been looking at some material | :33:15. | :33:17. | |
that has remained unseen, VOICEOVER: There are not | :33:18. | :33:19. | |
many people alive today for whom television is not | :33:20. | :33:30. | |
woven into their lives. But for most of its history, | :33:31. | :33:32. | |
it has been a fleeting Then... | :33:33. | :33:35. | |
Gone forever. Preserving television has always | :33:36. | :33:51. | |
been a fabulously The film cans here at the BBC's | :33:52. | :33:53. | |
archive in Perivale have to be capped at just the right | :33:54. | :33:58. | |
temperature and humidity. And then there's finding | :33:59. | :34:02. | |
the space for everything. The financial incentive | :34:03. | :34:05. | |
has always been there, for television companies to dump far | :34:06. | :34:07. | |
more than they hang onto. Like a play or a concert, | :34:08. | :34:14. | |
TV wasn't meant to survive. Keeping it meant pointing a film | :34:15. | :34:21. | |
camera at a TV screen, only worth the trouble | :34:22. | :34:24. | |
to sell something abroad. Here, an insect has inserted itself | :34:25. | :34:28. | |
into an early episode And this is a Wombles? | :34:29. | :34:40. | |
That's a Wombles, yes. That's not missing? | :34:41. | :34:44. | |
No, it's not missing. Kaleidoscope is a group of TV | :34:45. | :34:52. | |
historian is always looking Although most of the film in this | :34:53. | :34:54. | |
box was never lost, it was a job lot bought | :34:55. | :35:02. | |
from a private collector, I guess the kind of proudest one | :35:03. | :35:04. | |
is that, He didn't even know | :35:05. | :35:10. | |
it was an avengers episode from 1961 because he hadn't actually played it | :35:11. | :35:14. | |
at all, ever. Only two episodes were thought | :35:15. | :35:20. | |
to survive from the first Before this projector illuminated | :35:21. | :35:22. | |
this old film, this episode of The Avengers hadn't | :35:23. | :35:42. | |
been seen for 55 years. You were'nt by any chance | :35:43. | :35:54. | |
a Desert Rat, were you? Well, you may remember this | :35:55. | :35:57. | |
sort of thing. As soon as it reaches that mark, | :35:58. | :35:58. | |
it blows this place to smithereens A jab against the wall, same thing. | :35:59. | :36:03. | |
You're bluffing. Well, you've got about 30 | :36:04. | :36:12. | |
seconds to find out. Hand me that cigarette. | :36:13. | :36:14. | |
Take it. So few episodes survive | :36:15. | :36:15. | |
from the first series. Anything you find from that | :36:16. | :36:17. | |
tells me a little bit more about the development | :36:18. | :36:20. | |
from that show. And you can see just | :36:21. | :36:28. | |
how far it plays. These episodes have come back, | :36:29. | :36:30. | |
written by top quality writers. Troy Kennedy Martin, | :36:31. | :36:42. | |
the creative talents behind I'll have no sugar. | :36:43. | :36:44. | |
I heard you were like that. I don't know how Madigan | :36:45. | :36:48. | |
puts up with you. I bear his children. | :36:49. | :36:53. | |
Some of them, no doubt. Well, one of them is my Tommy | :36:54. | :36:55. | |
and he's going out with He's more than going out with her, | :36:56. | :36:59. | |
he's courting her. As long as I'm alive, | :37:00. | :37:02. | |
no one of those cousins are going to Television is such an ephemeral | :37:03. | :37:05. | |
medium, It holds a great mirror up | :37:06. | :37:10. | |
to society as it was. It shows how people looked, | :37:11. | :37:15. | |
how they talked, what their attitudes were, | :37:16. | :37:19. | |
what their aspirations were. And so I think just as a social | :37:20. | :37:22. | |
document they are very important. Can this old footage | :37:23. | :37:25. | |
ever be more than a Can it do what it was intended | :37:26. | :37:38. | |
to do when it was made, To modern viewers, | :37:39. | :37:42. | |
the pace can seem leaden, and the comedy, well, | :37:43. | :37:45. | |
not necessarily very funny. Some of those things we have | :37:46. | :37:49. | |
released in the past I never would have thought would have | :37:50. | :37:52. | |
sold as many copies. I know there is an audience | :37:53. | :37:54. | |
for a lot of this stuff. There will always be some kind | :37:55. | :37:57. | |
of audience, but whether it is in | :37:58. | :37:59. | |
the low hundreds you can't always ascertain until you | :38:00. | :38:01. | |
actually release it. what someone is going to want in 30 | :38:02. | :38:15. | |

have said, you're mad to keep it all, who is going to | :38:27. | :38:29. | |

happy birthday to you. Come on, it's got to be, | :38:38. | :38:42. | |
you're having a wash! There is a lot that can be done | :38:43. | :38:46. | |
to old footage to smooth its reception | :38:47. | :38:49. | |
with a new audience. A colour broadcast archived in black | :38:50. | :38:51. | |
and white, can sometimes have | :38:52. | :38:53. | |
its colour recovered. All the information needed | :38:54. | :38:55. | |
is miraculously contained in the And where no pictures | :38:56. | :38:57. | |
survive, a fan's DIY audio recording can be | :38:58. | :39:03. | |

recreated 50 years later. It's available from | :39:10. | :39:11. | |
the BBC's online content Like a black and white 60s drama, | :39:12. | :39:12. | |
the world of archive TV is full of bold characters, | :39:13. | :39:16. | |
and not a little intrigued. We have a couple of leads that | :39:17. | :39:23. | |
were given to us of a few episodes that are known | :39:24. | :39:27. | |
to be missing from the BBC archive. You can't say of what? | :39:28. | :39:34. | |
No, I can't. It's terribly sad when you know | :39:35. | :39:53. | |
there are things out there that you know they are stuck | :39:54. | :39:56. | |
in somebody's hands, whom, for whatever reason doesn't | :39:57. | :39:58. | |
want to part with them. It can be quite | :39:59. | :40:01. | |
heartbreaking, you know. And sometimes you have | :40:02. | :40:02. | |
to play a long game. Eighty years of television have | :40:03. | :40:04. | |
generated more hours than anyone could | :40:05. | :40:06. | |
possibly watch or keep. Nevertheless, like prime-time | :40:07. | :40:14. | |
gumshoes, the heroes of archive TV | :40:15. | :40:16. | |
battle on against the odds. Against time, greed, | :40:17. | :40:18. | |
and of course... STUDIO: We all have nights where | :40:19. | :40:30. | |
