:00:22. > :00:27.On the View tonight - Ireland's first private abortion clinic opens
:00:27. > :00:37.next week. We've heard from the campaigners, but what about the
:00:37. > :00:42.political perspective? This image is about Derry's past and this is
:00:42. > :00:45.about the future. But what is coming down the line for the UK's
:00:45. > :00:48.City of Culture? And staying with culture, our professors, Deirdre
:00:48. > :00:55.Heenan and Rick Wilford, are here with their views on that and the
:00:55. > :00:58.rest of the week's headlines. at least three fishy stories.
:00:58. > :01:07.That's a sideways view from Newton Emerson. And you can, of course,
:01:07. > :01:10.follow the programme on Twitter - It doesn't open until next week,
:01:10. > :01:13.but already there have been calls for it to be closed down. The Marie
:01:13. > :01:17.Stopes clinic in Belfast will be Ireland's first private abortion
:01:17. > :01:20.clinic. Pro-choice campaigners say it's a step in the right direction,
:01:20. > :01:23.pro-life supporters say it's an outrage. We have heard a lot of
:01:23. > :01:26.these voices throughout the day, but moves of the politicians have
:01:26. > :01:28.been strangely silent. Both the DUP and Sinn Fein refused to be
:01:28. > :01:33.interviewed, but the Alliance Party's Anna Lo and the SDLP's
:01:33. > :01:40.Alban Maginnis did agree to come in to the studio tonight. Thank you
:01:40. > :01:45.for joining us. Anna Lo you have welcomed today's announcement. Why?
:01:45. > :01:50.Very much if I can first say the Alliance Party has no policy on
:01:50. > :01:54.abortion. I'm speaking as an individual MLA. I very much welcome
:01:54. > :01:59.this, because I think there is a big gap in Northern Ireland with
:01:59. > :02:06.the lack of legislation here in Northern Ireland. This is going to
:02:06. > :02:13.be viewed by the -- filled by the new clinic. There is such confusion
:02:13. > :02:18.about abortion here, it is banned here, unless the woman's life is
:02:18. > :02:24.under threat, or is at risk of having serious damage to her
:02:24. > :02:28.physical or mental health. We have no guidelines on this. In 2000 9
:02:28. > :02:37.the DSS produced a guideline ordered by the High Court and then
:02:37. > :02:40.it was withdrawn. And then now the new revised guidelines have not
:02:40. > :02:49.been published. Medical staff are concerned about whether they're
:02:49. > :02:57.going to carry out abortions or not. And in the last three years, the
:02:57. > :03:03.figures show that each year we had 40 abortions on the NHS. But it is
:03:03. > :03:07.estimated that 40 women a week go to England, or further afield to
:03:07. > :03:14.seek abortion. Do you have a problem with the clinic opening
:03:14. > :03:18.next week? I don't welcome the clinic coming here. The clinic of
:03:18. > :03:23.course has every legal right to establish itself here in Belfast,
:03:23. > :03:30.but I don't welcome it. I ask the question why is the clinic coming
:03:30. > :03:35.here? I think it is part and parcel of a pro-abortion campaign by Marie
:03:35. > :03:44.Stopes and others to bring about a radical change to the law here, to
:03:44. > :03:51.a pro-abortion position. You say pro-abortion, Marie Stopes and its
:03:51. > :03:55.sup supporters would say pro-choice. But that is a euphemism for pro-
:03:55. > :04:01.abortion. Doesn't just mean abortion is a choice. It does not
:04:01. > :04:06.mean that every goes in there will end up. I think if you examine what
:04:06. > :04:10.people are saying, what they're really saying is there should be
:04:10. > :04:17.wider availability of abortion for women here in Northern Ireland.
:04:17. > :04:25.That I believe is the message going out to people. I don't welcome that.
:04:25. > :04:30.I think the majority of people do not welcome a pro-abortion position.
:04:30. > :04:34.Stopgsstopgs advises on sexual health matters and -- Marie Stopes
:04:34. > :04:39.advises on sexual health and other things. Yes and they're free to do
:04:39. > :04:45.that, but if they are providing a stepping stone to England as a
:04:45. > :04:55.satellite clinic here, then I think you could be in dangerous waters.
:04:55. > :04:55.
:04:56. > :04:59.Legally. Anna Lo, is the service that is going to be provided that
:04:59. > :05:05.isn't currently already available to people who qualify for an
:05:05. > :05:11.abortion free through the NHS? is so difficult to get abortion
:05:11. > :05:17.here. Through NHS. It just makes me so angry that we're just so
:05:17. > :05:22.hypocritical. We know so many women go across to England, they have to
:05:23. > :05:26.make arrangements to go to a private clinic, they have to make
:05:26. > :05:31.travel arrangement and pay for accommodation, it is up to �2,000
:05:31. > :05:36.to go the England. We think we can brush that aside and forget about
:05:36. > :05:40.these women and continue to say, we ban abortion. You say, this is an
:05:40. > :05:43.interesting point, you say it is so difficult for people to get
:05:43. > :05:48.abortion in Northern Ireland on the NHS. It should be river bit as
:05:48. > :05:54.difficult unthe tr stopgsstopgs regime as it is under the -- it
:05:54. > :06:00.should be every bit as difficult under the Marie Stopes regime. Nch
:06:00. > :06:05.yes but at the moment the NHS has no -- Yes but at the moment the NHS
:06:05. > :06:10.has no guideslines and Edwin Poots has been putting so much pressure
:06:11. > :06:17.on the medical staff and they have to explain each case. You think it
:06:17. > :06:23.would be easier for a woman to get it in Marie Stopes. Yes And that is
:06:23. > :06:29.a good thing.Y. You have concedesing the points wilt be
:06:29. > :06:33.easier and you want it to be easier. It will pwh clearer for an
:06:33. > :06:41.independent clinic. Why would it be clearer? It is the same legislation.
:06:41. > :06:46.Threfr two doctors and a psychiatrist. Who are predisposed
:06:46. > :06:53.to allow abortion. They are working within the legal framework. Them
:06:53. > :07:00.work within the law. But with more clarity... J a sentence why would
:07:00. > :07:07.it be easier? Because it is clearer for them. At the the NHS staff are
:07:07. > :07:10.frightened of carrying out that worgs abortion, because they could
:07:10. > :07:16.be punished. Isn't that point, it would help to clarify the situation.
:07:16. > :07:21.Because it is anything but clear at the moment. The guidelines could be
:07:21. > :07:29.published. There should be strict guidelines issued. But the point I
:07:29. > :07:33.make is this. What we see here is an attempt by Marie Stopes to
:07:33. > :07:38.create a culture here a pro- abortion culture. That is why they
:07:38. > :07:46.have come here in my estimation, I cannot see why they're coming here
:07:46. > :07:50.unless they want to change things. They have said, Dawn Purvis has
:07:50. > :08:00.been clear, it is not about creating a pro-abortion climate,
:08:00. > :08:04.but a pro-choice climate. I think those are weezel words. It is a
:08:04. > :08:08.euphemism to promote a pro-abortion culture. What Anna has said and I
:08:08. > :08:12.respect her views, burr he said what should we do for women in
:08:12. > :08:17.Northern Ireland? We should help women in Northern Ireland. But do
:08:17. > :08:23.we help women by encouraging them to go to England to have abortions?
:08:23. > :08:27.I think we don't help them. What about the political debate. The two
:08:27. > :08:31.main parties refused to take part in this programme tonight. Is it
:08:31. > :08:36.not time for politicians to come out of their hiding place and to
:08:36. > :08:40.debate this properly in public and give a lead to members of the
:08:40. > :08:44.public? I'm happy to debate the issue. I'm against abortion and I
:08:44. > :08:50.will present my views in the Assembly. Why do you think others
:08:50. > :08:57.aren't going to discuss it? I don't know. It is odd. The SDLP is clear,
:08:57. > :09:02.it is anti-abortion and it is a pro-life party. What about that
:09:02. > :09:07.wider debate, would you welcome it? Yes, we have been too quiet and let
:09:07. > :09:13.these women go to England and when they come back threfr to hide their
:09:13. > :09:21.feelings and if they have problems they can't go to GPs to seek
:09:21. > :09:24.medical advice. And there are women, listen there are women going on
:09:24. > :09:31.web-sites here, rogue web-sites, getting pills and then sometimes
:09:31. > :09:35.they get them wrong, stieps they're not the right dose ang and they
:09:35. > :09:44.have -- dosage and threfr to go to hospital to get sorted out. But it
:09:44. > :09:48.runs the risk that that doctors can be subject to prosecution.
:09:48. > :09:54.final sentence. Let us help women to face up to pregnancy that are
:09:54. > :10:03.unplanned, but let us do that on a pro-life basis. Not a pro-abortion
:10:03. > :10:08.basis. Thank you both. Still to come on The View: I was offended
:10:09. > :10:17.when the leader 06 opposition stood by a sign that said, ditch the
:10:17. > :10:19.witch. Political outburst that has travelled the globe and caught the
:10:19. > :10:26.eye of our commentators. It's a city famous for poets, politicians
:10:26. > :10:28.and its past - famous too for Londonderry - or Derry - made the
:10:28. > :10:31.news again this week when the council stepped in to take over
:10:31. > :10:34.marketing the campaign for the City of Culture 2013. The council's
:10:34. > :10:36.Chief Executive took that decision, and we'll be talking to her shortly.
:10:36. > :10:46.But first our Political Correspondent, Martina Purdy, has
:10:46. > :10:47.
:10:47. > :10:56.been to Derry to find out if the city's ready for its big year.
:10:56. > :11:04.cappical of culture is Derry. And Londonderry. This image is about
:11:04. > :11:14.Derry's past. And this image is about the city's future. A city of
:11:14. > :11:16.
:11:16. > :11:21.peace, prosperity, and culture. That vision of unity and prosperity
:11:21. > :11:27.has the city using its hard-won cultural title to rebrand its image
:11:27. > :11:37.at home and abroad in 2013. This is not a united city, it never has
:11:37. > :11:38.
:11:38. > :11:45.been and that is something the city of culture needs to explore. Derry
:11:45. > :11:49.is up for the challenge, say key players at the Bond theme party
:11:50. > :11:56.this week. There will be something for everyone, from your standard
:11:56. > :12:02.pop culture, through to your high brow opera, literature and a full
:12:02. > :12:07.year of celebration. It is a city where we are learning to come
:12:07. > :12:11.together and work as one - one city and one voice. There is no question
:12:11. > :12:16.the city knows how to put on a party, but not everyone has a happy
:12:16. > :12:21.face. In the Bogside, these artists complain about a lack of support
:12:21. > :12:28.among their grievances the closure of their gallery and in term of
:12:28. > :12:34.culture, they feel ignored. If you go in the web-site, you will see
:12:34. > :12:39.cultural champions and there is some worthy champions that we
:12:39. > :12:46.celebrate and enjoy, but one thing is for sure you won't find the
:12:46. > :12:56.Bogside artists there. Why not? need to ask them. There is
:12:56. > :13:03.
:13:03. > :13:07.criticism for Sinn Fein support for Sinn Fein's initial concerns about
:13:07. > :13:11.bidding for the UK title have given way to support for the benefits.
:13:11. > :13:16.think it is time for positivity and that was the message coming from
:13:16. > :13:20.the City yesterday and this morning and there is a united approach both
:13:20. > :13:24.from the Cultural Company and from Derry City Council. The idea of a
:13:24. > :13:28.team may have faded over at the headquarters of the company in
:13:28. > :13:33.charge. Its multi-million pound marketing budget has been taken
:13:33. > :13:37.over by the city council amid threats of legal action. But can a
:13:37. > :13:41.news conference this week really limit the damage? People are saying
:13:41. > :13:46.this is a storm in a teacup but I don't think so and on the eve of
:13:46. > :13:50.the launch of the City of Culture event that is just about to be
:13:50. > :13:57.launched worldwide, it is not a very good thing to have happened.
:13:57. > :14:00.To say the least, it is poor management. Is this for me? Over on
:14:00. > :14:04.the waterside theatre which will come as UK in the title questions
:14:04. > :14:08.are being asked and there is no firm offer of letter to fund two
:14:08. > :14:18.proposed arts projects and a perception that marketing is a
:14:18. > :14:18.
:14:18. > :14:25.problem. For me, Derry is a city of culture and that is the brand that
:14:25. > :14:28.I have used. Other people have issues as to what the city is
:14:28. > :14:33.called and the language to be used. It is a sensitive subject and my
:14:33. > :14:40.sympathies go out to anybody who will try to brand this. What will
:14:40. > :14:44.success look like? The year 2013 will take care of itself. The big
:14:44. > :14:51.thing is 2014 and beyond, the legacy. The infrastructure has to
:14:51. > :14:55.be left in a much better position. Whatever happens, do expect music
:14:55. > :14:59.in the Derry air. As for perfect harmony, that may take more time.
:14:59. > :15:02.Sharon O'Connor is the chief executive of Derry City Council.
:15:02. > :15:07.She took the decision to order the Culture Company to transfer its
:15:07. > :15:14.marketing responsibilities to the council and she's with me now. So,
:15:14. > :15:18.why did you instruct the Culture Company to make that change?
:15:18. > :15:22.Well, we have come through the planning stage and we are about go
:15:22. > :15:26.into implementation. We have had a long series of conversations about
:15:26. > :15:30.the resources needed to get us really into 5th gear in terms of
:15:30. > :15:34.the marketing effort and we all acknowledged and agreed that we
:15:34. > :15:38.need additional resources to do that so it seemed to me to make
:15:38. > :15:42.sense for this small team in the Culture Company to be integrated
:15:42. > :15:48.into the Derry City Council team. The timing is what has caught
:15:48. > :15:53.people of the hop. It is two weeks today until the launch of the City
:15:53. > :15:57.of Culture 2013. You wrote to the chief executive of the Culture
:15:57. > :16:00.Company and you say you have had reservations about the marketing
:16:00. > :16:07.operation for eight months. Why did you wait frontal two weeks before
:16:07. > :16:11.the launch to do anything about it? That is a piece of confidential
:16:11. > :16:14.correspondence between me and the chief executive. We have had
:16:14. > :16:18.ongoing conversations about increasing the level of resources
:16:18. > :16:23.within the marketing effort. There is never a good time to have any
:16:23. > :16:28.change happen but this should not have been rehearsed in public view.
:16:28. > :16:34.This was about scenes the transition to a full resourced
:16:34. > :16:38.marketing for. Why two weeks before? Because it is to the lead-
:16:38. > :16:44.up to the Lord as a programme. There is no other time to do it but
:16:44. > :16:48.now. You could have done it eight months ago. With respect, I could
:16:48. > :16:52.not have done at eight months ago because I was really finding my
:16:52. > :16:57.feet in the job eight months ago. In terms of the marketing effort,
:16:57. > :17:00.the Culture Company were in planning mode. Does it look bad?
:17:00. > :17:05.is very unfortunate it has been rehearsed in the public domain and
:17:05. > :17:09.no one would have wished it to have happened in the way that it did. I
:17:09. > :17:14.did everything to prevent it happening. What was the problem?
:17:14. > :17:18.Can you explain it? What will be fixed by the transfer that you have
:17:18. > :17:22.instructed? I am responsible on behalf of the city to make sure the
:17:22. > :17:26.project is as successful as everyone wants it to be at a lot of
:17:26. > :17:30.people have been raising concerns about the visibility for City of
:17:30. > :17:35.Culture. There is no point in as marketing us to the city. We have
:17:35. > :17:38.to market it to the rest of the islands and to the world. We have
:17:38. > :17:43.acknowledged and we have to acknowledge that no one in the
:17:43. > :17:49.region has done this before. No one has had a UK City of Culture, no
:17:49. > :17:51.one has managed a project on this scale. We are learning and
:17:52. > :17:56.developing present understanding of what is required which is why we
:17:56. > :18:00.have had to consider what is required, make changes as
:18:00. > :18:05.appropriate, and we have done that a now. It is 81 days until you
:18:05. > :18:10.actually launch the year that his 2013. Did this problem you
:18:10. > :18:18.identified come down to an individual? Or was the structure?
:18:18. > :18:23.do not want to get to talking about individuals. The Culture Company
:18:23. > :18:29.have a very small team. We now know really that the lessons that we
:18:29. > :18:33.have learned from the bit that it required a city-wide effort to make
:18:33. > :18:37.sure we communicate effectively with the markets and audiences we
:18:37. > :18:42.are trying to reach so we needed more resources, so it is about
:18:42. > :18:46.resources. One individual has been suspended about his position. That
:18:46. > :18:56.is in the public record. Does the chief executive of the Culture
:18:56. > :18:59.Company have your full support? are very much as one on this. The
:18:59. > :19:06.chairman of the Culture Company, there chief executive of the
:19:06. > :19:10.Culture Company and myself, we have been in dialogue as to how to carry
:19:10. > :19:17.the programme on, and the legacy we derive from the project, the other
:19:17. > :19:20.critical dimension, about making a longer term contribution to the
:19:20. > :19:25.economic prosperity of the region are. Is this all the shuffling of
:19:25. > :19:29.the cards we will see? Is the matter sorted out and sold, and you
:19:30. > :19:33.can move to a big launch in a fortnight's time? Are there are
:19:33. > :19:38.other things unresolved? We are where we need to be in terms of the
:19:38. > :19:42.lead-up to the launch but if you compare our experience to places
:19:42. > :19:49.like Liverpool and Cork, this has been at a relatively uneventful
:19:49. > :19:53.build up. They brought Phil Redmond in. Where is your Seb Coe, the man
:19:53. > :19:58.who poured the Olympics together? That is what is missing, that is
:19:58. > :20:02.what people are saying. We have a team of clever people we are
:20:03. > :20:06.recommending the team as we speak. The personal actually was
:20:06. > :20:10.fundamental to the bid process has come back in to assist us with
:20:10. > :20:14.marketing and we will strengthen our programming team. We have
:20:14. > :20:18.Graham Farrell who delivered the Queen's Festival for many years
:20:18. > :20:24.successfully, so we have got talent, resources and expertise, and we
:20:24. > :20:27.have a city that can deliver on of his. Is that an individual who is -
:20:27. > :20:30.- is that a position that is replacing the individual? It is
:20:31. > :20:35.about leadership for the marketing effort because we now have passed
:20:35. > :20:40.20 people in terms of the team and it does about resourcing that. --
:20:40. > :20:44.we now have plus 20 people. Can you say hand on heart that the UK City
:20:45. > :20:50.of Culture, Londonderry, is going to be the big success everybody
:20:50. > :20:54.wants it to because Mac I saw for myself the first real detailed
:20:54. > :20:57.exposure of the programme because we have to keep it under wraps.
:20:57. > :21:02.is like getting your Christmas presents early otherwise. I am
:21:02. > :21:06.finding it difficult not to duck everybody all the exciting things
:21:06. > :21:11.in the programme. -- not to tell everybody all the exciting things
:21:11. > :21:13.in the programme. Thank you very much, the chief executive of Derry
:21:13. > :21:18.City Council. Let's get a different view of
:21:18. > :21:23.political life here with Newton's News.
:21:23. > :21:26.In other news this week, wind and tidal power projects have been
:21:27. > :21:31.approved by DUP minister Arlene Foster. If you want power, you need
:21:31. > :21:36.to know which way the wind is blowing and go with the flow, said
:21:36. > :21:40.the former politician. Stormont may be forced to debate abortion in the
:21:40. > :21:45.same way it debated welfare reform with Jim Fearn saying they are
:21:45. > :21:51.against it although they are for, the SDLP pour -- SDLP being against
:21:51. > :21:56.Sinn Fein, and the Unionists being the bad guys and everyone expecting
:21:56. > :22:02.the problem to be sorted out in Britain. Peter Robinson has accused

:22:28. > :22:32.�26 million fund for numeracy and literacy. This money became
:22:32. > :22:36.available due to a miscalculation in another fund but don't expect to
:22:36. > :22:40.read anything about that in a press release. Finally, Sinn Fein has
:22:40. > :22:44.refused to decommission fishing votes. Cancelling the scheme, the
:22:44. > :22:50.Minister said they can be no decommissioning without guaranteed
:22:50. > :22:55.limits on future catchers, like not a mullet.
:22:55. > :23:00.That is one view there politics. With me once again our pair of
:23:00. > :23:04.professors, Deirdre Heenan and Rick Wilford. Let me ask you, Deirdre,
:23:04. > :23:09.about the debate we were hearing about abortion. It has reopened an
:23:09. > :23:14.issue which has rarely been out of the headlines. Exactly. My response
:23:14. > :23:18.to you is what debate? The whole issue is that our politicians in
:23:18. > :23:22.particular, health care professionals, have dodged the
:23:22. > :23:26.issue. In the 21st century it is appalling that you have so much
:23:26. > :23:31.difficulty in getting individuals to come along and discuss what is a
:23:31. > :23:35.very complex emotive and toxic issue. To come along and say we are
:23:35. > :23:39.interested in women's health, we want to help women but we will not
:23:39. > :23:45.discuss the options, we will not discuss the reality. The idea in
:23:45. > :23:52.Northern Ireland is if we do not discuss it, it isn't happening.
:23:52. > :24:01.some politicians, and I said politicians turned us down, this
:24:01. > :24:10.issue is toxic. It is. It is black and white. There was a debate on
:24:10. > :24:15.this. There was unanimity across the chamber. When there was a
:24:15. > :24:20.proposal to afford to the health committee to look at the Motor --
:24:20. > :24:25.medical advice, that was defeated. Politicians here moral outrage at
:24:25. > :24:32.clubs as what could be the light of reasoned debate. Deirdre, the other
:24:32. > :24:35.issue is the Derry-Londonderry city of culture. Did you hear what the
:24:35. > :24:42.chief executive of Derry City Council had to say? Were you
:24:42. > :24:44.reassured by her? It is fair to say that I was very perplexed when this
:24:44. > :24:47.became public and recriminations became public and you would have
:24:47. > :24:55.thought that in a diplomatic way this could have been sorted out
:24:55. > :24:59.behind closed doors. I know we say could -- any publicity is good two
:24:59. > :25:07.publicity but I do not think it is good publicity. This will not cast
:25:07. > :25:11.a Shadow. Local government is involved, MLAs, MPs involved, there
:25:11. > :25:16.is going to be debate, discussion about who does what and that is to
:25:16. > :25:20.be expected. Let's all get behind the bid to make sure it is a
:25:20. > :25:24.success because this is our opportunity and we cannot allow it
:25:24. > :25:29.to be overshadowed by bureaucracy and administrative difficult is.
:25:29. > :25:35.lot of people would agree with that. What is your story of the week,
:25:35. > :25:41.Rick? The first Australian Prime Minister who turned, in Parliament,
:25:41. > :25:45.on her detractor, the Leader of the Opposition. It was dramatic stuff.
:25:45. > :25:49.He wants to know what misogyny looks like a modern Australia. He
:25:49. > :25:53.doesn't need a motion in the House of representatives, he needs a
:25:53. > :25:58.mirror. I was offended when the Leader of the Opposition went
:25:58. > :26:01.outside in the front of Parliament and stood next to a sign that said
:26:01. > :26:06.ditch and the witch. I was offended when the Leader of the Opposition
:26:07. > :26:11.got next to a sign that described to me as a man's Pritch. And it was
:26:11. > :26:17.dramatic stuff. I watched 15 minutes of it. She stood there
:26:17. > :26:21.without a note. It was mesmerising. It was an excoriating piece of
:26:21. > :26:25.invective that she spoke without a note. It was controlled mustard
:26:25. > :26:30.passion and it is something that many women are actually
:26:30. > :26:36.sympathising with, and many men, this kind of cash for misogyny. He
:26:36. > :26:40.described abortion as the easy way out which was another issue which
:26:40. > :26:49.offended her. They rightly for its stock very dramatic stuff. Check it
:26:49. > :26:53.out on the internet if you have not seen it. The David Cameron speech.
:26:53. > :26:57.Just call me Dave. Heat is a compassionate Conservative and he
:26:57. > :27:01.has been as understood. They are not the nasty party. He is the
:27:01. > :27:05.party for the vulnerable, the people at the bottom of society and
:27:05. > :27:10.the Conservatives are not where they came from. Tell that to the
:27:10. > :27:13.unemployed, disabled, the low-paid, the nurses, the teachers, the
:27:13. > :27:19.people who feel squeezed by this Government. They will not be
:27:19. > :27:28.impressed by what he had to save. Tweet of the week? Tory conference.
:27:28. > :27:31.George Osborne speech and the Guardian writer, Patrick Wintour,
:27:31. > :27:34.who said "Workers of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but
:27:34. > :27:37.your employment rights." this is the right to redundancy, claims
:27:37. > :27:44.against dismissal in exchange for shares and a company, it will not
:27:44. > :27:49.go anywhere. Your choice? Chris Rock, his tweed was, now you have a
:27:49. > :27:53.clear choice between the man who got rid of Bin Laden or the man who
:27:53. > :27:58.wants to get rid of big bird. It is a reference to Mitt Romney who said
:27:58. > :28:03.that he would make cuts to the PBS, most closely associated with sesame
:28:03. > :28:07.Street. Is that a vote winner or vote loser, we will see. I'm
:28:07. > :28:12.looking forward to the second debate? It is crucial for a
:28:12. > :28:19.Starodubtsev that he puts in a top- class performance given the
:28:19. > :28:26.lacklustre performance last time. And the by-election? The first Tory
:28:26. > :28:31.defence, Louise Minchin's seed, Corby. Interesting to see how it
