:00:13. > :00:14.Good morning, welcome to the programme, I'm Joanna Gosling.

:00:15. > :00:16.The funeral is taking place of Israel's former

:00:17. > :00:19.Prince Charles and Boris Johnson are amongst the hundreds of people

:00:20. > :00:24.His critics often claimed he was a naive, overly

:00:25. > :00:32.They were only wrong about the naive part.

:00:33. > :00:42.We will join the service, throughout the morning.

:00:43. > :00:48.President Obama is due to speak in the next half an hour.

:00:49. > :00:52.The end is nigh for the spacecraft Rosetta -

:00:53. > :00:54.as it prepares to crash-land into the comet it's been studying

:00:55. > :00:58.We are live at the European Space Agency.

:00:59. > :01:01.And later, a drug charity says it's saved hundreds of lives

:01:02. > :01:05.It's a year since a change in the law made it possible

:01:06. > :01:08.for an heroin antidote to be given out to friends and relatives to use

:01:09. > :01:19.on addicts who are in danger of overdosing.

:01:20. > :01:25.Welcome to the programme, we're live until 11am.

:01:26. > :01:28.Do get in touch on all the stories we're talking about this morning,

:01:29. > :01:32.And if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate.

:01:33. > :01:35.Leaders from around the world are gathered in Jerusalem this

:01:36. > :01:38.morning to pay their final respects to the former Israeli President

:01:39. > :01:42.The 93-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner suffered a stroke two

:01:43. > :01:46.weeks ago and passed away earlier this week.

:01:47. > :01:49.President Barack Obama and Prince Charles are amongst those

:01:50. > :01:55.Speaking at the ceremony a short while ago, Israeli Prime Minister

:01:56. > :01:59.Benjamin Netanyahu paid tribute to Peres as a man of vision.

:02:00. > :02:01.That so many leaders came from around the world to bid

:02:02. > :02:04.farewell to Shimon is a testament to his optimism, his quest

:02:05. > :02:19.The people of Israel deeply appreciate the honour

:02:20. > :02:29.And the State to which he dedicated his life.

:02:30. > :02:40.He swept so many with his vision and his hope.

:02:41. > :03:04.But we find hope in his legacy, as does the world.

:03:05. > :03:06.With us now is our Middle East correspondent Yolande

:03:07. > :03:14.Tell us more about the tributes that have been heard at the funeral so

:03:15. > :03:20.far. It's a really impressive

:03:21. > :03:26.international line-up, first of all, something quite incredible. To see

:03:27. > :03:31.the National cemetery filled with dozens of world leaders are

:03:32. > :03:35.assembling to remember the life of Shimon Peres. They come from 70

:03:36. > :03:40.different countries, some of them came from the other side of the

:03:41. > :03:43.world. This is a man, as Israeli politicians have been pointing out,

:03:44. > :03:48.his life really mirrored that of Israel itself. Which was created in

:03:49. > :03:53.just 1948. He was somebody who served as an aid to the country's

:03:54. > :03:59.founding fathers. He was a defence official early on and somebody who

:04:00. > :04:04.was very hawkish. Widely credited with many of the achievements making

:04:05. > :04:10.Israel a nuclear power. Also, early on, he supported the creation of

:04:11. > :04:15.Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, on occupied Palestinian

:04:16. > :04:21.land. But then, he went through his big turnaround. He was the hawk that

:04:22. > :04:26.became a dove. In 1993, he oversaw the peace deal, the first peace deal

:04:27. > :04:31.with the Palestinians. That was what won him a Nobel Peace Prize. That is

:04:32. > :04:35.why, really, the Palestinian president, Matt Millar bass, has

:04:36. > :04:41.made just a short visit here but an extremely rare one to Jerusalem.

:04:42. > :04:50.Withstanding a lot of criticism about the mixed legacy of Mr Peres

:04:51. > :04:54.so he could be had. His vision and optimism Barack Obama will focus on,

:04:55. > :05:00.when he gives his eulogy very shortly. What happens, from here?

:05:01. > :05:06.At the moment, we are just hearing from the children of Mr Peretz,

:05:07. > :05:12.their personal recollections of him and then he will be laid to rest

:05:13. > :05:17.alongside the Prime Minister of Israel who was assassinated back in

:05:18. > :05:22.1995. A joint winner of the Nobel Peace Prize with Mr Peretz and the

:05:23. > :05:31.Palestinian president at the time, Yasir Arafat. He will then take his

:05:32. > :05:34.place in the history of Israel. So people can continue to pay their

:05:35. > :05:40.respects. 50,000 members of the Israeli public, most of them went to

:05:41. > :05:47.visit the coffin of Mr Peres, when he was lying in state at the Israeli

:05:48. > :05:52.parliament yesterday. Thank you. This is the scene live in and. We

:05:53. > :05:56.will go back and continue with further coverage. We are expecting

:05:57. > :05:58.to hear from President Barack Obama and we will bring you his tribute

:05:59. > :06:00.when that happens. Annita is in the BBC

:06:01. > :06:02.Newsroom, with a summary It's one of the most complicated

:06:03. > :06:08.and difficult missions ever undertaken by a spacecraft,

:06:09. > :06:10.but the 12-year journey by the Rosetta probe

:06:11. > :06:21.is about to come to an end. Dramatically. The probe, Rosetta,

:06:22. > :06:23.has been in close orbit around the comet 67P will crash landing to the

:06:24. > :06:26.comet in a couple of hours' time. Rosetta is so far out in space

:06:27. > :06:29.that its solar powered instruments are failing, but before impact,

:06:30. > :06:31.it's expected to send back some more Our global science correspondent

:06:32. > :06:35.Rebecca Morelle has more. A final farewell to Comet 67P

:06:36. > :06:38.and a trailblazing mission that's The Rosetta spacecraft's been

:06:39. > :06:44.orbiting this alien world, Now, though, its power is fading,

:06:45. > :06:49.and a crash-landing will bring It's sad that, on the one

:06:50. > :07:00.hand, this is over, but we've achieved

:07:01. > :07:03.something fantastic. There's the excitement

:07:04. > :07:05.of what we have achieved already by doing this mission,

:07:06. > :07:07.and the huge amount of science we have that we've only

:07:08. > :07:09.just started to scrape So, the operations end now,

:07:10. > :07:15.but the science continues. The Rosetta mission blasted off

:07:16. > :07:18.in 2004 and, after a 10-year journey, and it made history when it

:07:19. > :07:21.dropped a small robot After a bumpy touchdown,

:07:22. > :07:30.the robot stopped working But the next landing,

:07:31. > :07:33.of its mothership, will The Rosetta spacecraft was designed

:07:34. > :07:38.to fly to the comet, around the comet,

:07:39. > :07:41.but not to land on it. There's no doubt that

:07:42. > :07:43.as soon as it touches down But it gives scientists

:07:44. > :07:48.the chance to squeeze every last drop of science

:07:49. > :07:50.of this mission, and all the way down,

:07:51. > :07:53.it's going to be taking close-up Rosetta's transformed our

:07:54. > :08:03.understanding of comets. But it's also a mission that has

:08:04. > :08:11.captured the public's imagination. The most senior lawyer working

:08:12. > :08:13.for the independent inquiry into historical allegations of child

:08:14. > :08:18.sex abuse has resigned. Ben Emmerson, who was suspended

:08:19. > :08:20.from the inquiry yesterday after what were said to be questions

:08:21. > :08:23.about his leadership, has denied falling out

:08:24. > :08:29.with the chairwoman, Alexis Jay. The investigation was

:08:30. > :08:31.set up 18 months ago to look at failures by institutions,

:08:32. > :08:34.such as schools and hospitals, to protect children

:08:35. > :08:37.in England and Wales. Questions have been raised

:08:38. > :08:39.about the inquiry's future, but the Prime Minister Theresa May

:08:40. > :08:44.has defended its work. We should always remember why

:08:45. > :08:47.it is that the inquiry was set up And when those terms

:08:48. > :08:51.of reference were set, they were agreed with

:08:52. > :08:53.victims and survivors. And it's victims and survivors

:08:54. > :08:55.who are at the heart For too many years, too many people

:08:56. > :08:59.have been raising their voice, saying what has happened to them,

:09:00. > :09:02.and people have not been listening. We need to learn the

:09:03. > :09:10.lessons from the past. If we don't do that, we can't

:09:11. > :09:13.guarantee that we're going to be able to stop such abuse

:09:14. > :09:15.from happening in the future. The assistant manager

:09:16. > :09:24.of Southampton Football Club has become the latest figure implicated

:09:25. > :09:27.in the Daily Telegraph's investigation into football

:09:28. > :09:28.corruption. The paper says Eric Black has been

:09:29. > :09:30.secretly filmed allegedly advising undercover reporters how to bribe

:09:31. > :09:34.staff at lower league clubs. A spokesperson for

:09:35. > :09:36.Southampton said the club The Chief Constable

:09:37. > :09:45.of South Yorkshire Police has said he'll take legal action

:09:46. > :09:47.after the region's Police and Crime Commissioner

:09:48. > :09:53.asked him to resign. David Crompton was suspended

:09:54. > :09:55.from his role, following the Hillsborough inquest

:09:56. > :09:57.verdicts in April. The PCC Alan Billings says he should

:09:58. > :10:07.quit because he had led a force that put its own reputation before

:10:08. > :10:09.the welfare of victims. Mr Crompton says he'll challenge

:10:10. > :10:11.that in the high court. The Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt

:10:57. > :10:58.in America into what caused a train to crash into a station

:10:59. > :11:00.in New Jersey yesterday. A 34-year-old woman died and more

:11:14. > :11:18.you're probably only half as wealthy as someone who is now in their 40s

:11:19. > :11:21.was at the same age. That's one of the findings of some

:11:22. > :11:23.research looking at differences in wealth between people born

:11:24. > :11:26.in the 1970s and 1980s. The property boom and generous

:11:27. > :11:28.pensions are the big Our personal finance correspondent

:11:29. > :11:34.Simon Gompertz explains. Making the best of it,

:11:35. > :11:37.but this is the generation Early-30s, struggling to get

:11:38. > :11:40.on the housing ladder, shelling out for rent,

:11:41. > :11:45.instead of a pension. It was very much everyone

:11:46. > :11:48.was spending on credit cards that were limitless, and people could get

:11:49. > :11:50.another one and another one. And I think people didn't think

:11:51. > :11:53.they needed a plan, really. And I grew up in that

:11:54. > :11:59.scenario, as a little boy. It is hard to try and get a place

:12:00. > :12:08.of my own, as well, as it is. I'd like to get to maybe

:12:09. > :12:10.house-sharing stage, or renting, but I think that

:12:11. > :12:13.what is the norm now is renting. It's getting a lot more

:12:14. > :12:15.like Europe, I think. I think it's becoming a bit

:12:16. > :12:18.of a daydream that people can The stark numbers are

:12:19. > :12:22.that the average wealth of this group, born in the early 1980s,

:12:23. > :12:25.is ?27,000 each, including home and savings, while those only ten

:12:26. > :12:28.years old had wealth by the same stage in their lives of ?53,000,

:12:29. > :12:31.helped by house prices and the value If we look across the country

:12:32. > :12:40.as a whole, on average, those born in the '80s have half

:12:41. > :12:42.the wealth of those born ten years earlier

:12:43. > :12:44.did at the same age. And when we look at their incomes,

:12:45. > :12:47.they look about the same. But renters are spending a bigger

:12:48. > :12:50.share of their income That bigger share,

:12:51. > :12:53.who don't own a home. That's crucial, because young adults

:12:54. > :12:58.now paying high rents are watching older generations

:12:59. > :13:00.pull far ahead, as far And, when they're older,

:13:01. > :13:07.they are likely to have stingier That's a summary of the latest BBC

:13:08. > :13:26.News, more at 9:30am. Thank you, let's go back to

:13:27. > :13:30.Jerusalem where the funeral service is underway for the former Prime

:13:31. > :13:34.Minister and President Shimon Peres, being laid to rest in a ceremony

:13:35. > :13:38.being attended by leaders from around the world, the largest

:13:39. > :13:46.gathering of world leaders injuries and for years. The children of

:13:47. > :13:52.Shimon Peres have just paid tribute. They have just followed on from

:13:53. > :13:56.eulogies that have been delivered, paid tribute to the life of a man

:13:57. > :14:07.who has been described as a man of peace. The Prime Minister, Benjamin

:14:08. > :14:12.-- Benjamin Netanyahu said he sought to incredible heights, great man of

:14:13. > :14:21.Israel, great man of the world. This is his funeral service. He will soon

:14:22. > :14:26.be laid to rest, alongside other former leaders and President Obama

:14:27. > :14:44.is about to deliver his eulogy to Shimon Peres.

:14:45. > :14:56.To the generations of the Peres family. To the president, Prime

:14:57. > :15:02.Minister, Netanyahu, members of the Israeli government, heads of state,

:15:03. > :15:11.and government and guests from around the world, including

:15:12. > :15:14.President Mahmoud Abbas, whose presence here is a gesture and a

:15:15. > :15:23.reminder of the unfinished business of peace. To the people of Israel, I

:15:24. > :15:27.could not be more honoured to be in Jerusalem, to say farewell to my

:15:28. > :15:43.friend, Shimon Peres. Who showed us that justice and hope

:15:44. > :15:57.are at the heart of the Zionist idea. A free life in a homeland

:15:58. > :16:07.regained. A secure life in a nation that can defend itself by itself. A

:16:08. > :16:12.full life in friendship with nations that can be counted on as allies.

:16:13. > :16:22.Always. A bountiful life, driven by the

:16:23. > :16:33.simple pleasures of family and by big dreams. This was Shimon Peres'

:16:34. > :16:41.life. This is the state of Israel. This is the story of the Jewish

:16:42. > :16:47.people over the last century. It was made possible by a founding

:16:48. > :16:56.generation that accounts Shimon as one of its own. Shimon once said

:16:57. > :17:05.that the message of the Jewish people to mankind is that faith and

:17:06. > :17:13.moral vision can triumph over all adversity. For Shimon, that moral

:17:14. > :17:24.vision was rooted in an honest reckoning of the world as it is. He

:17:25. > :17:29.said he felt surrounded by a sea of sick and threatening forests when he

:17:30. > :17:32.was born. When his family got the chance to go to Palestine, his

:17:33. > :17:46.beloved grandfather's parting words were simple. Shimon, stay Jew.

:17:47. > :17:53.Propelled with fat face, he found his home, he found his purpose. He

:17:54. > :17:57.found his life's work. -- propelled with that faith. But he was still a

:17:58. > :18:02.teenager when his grandfather was burned alive by the Nazis in the

:18:03. > :18:08.town where Shimon was born. The synagogue in which he prayed became

:18:09. > :18:13.an inferno. The railroad tracks which carried him towards the

:18:14. > :18:23.promised land also delivered so many of his people to death camps. And

:18:24. > :18:28.so, from an early age, Shimon bore witness to the cruelty that human

:18:29. > :18:35.beings could inflict on each other. The ways that one group of people

:18:36. > :18:45.could dehumanise another. The particular madness of anti-Semitism,

:18:46. > :18:49.which has run like a stain through history. That understanding of man's

:18:50. > :18:57.ever present sinfulness would steal him against hardship and make him

:18:58. > :19:04.the jewel and against threats to Jewry around the world. But that

:19:05. > :19:20.understanding would never harden his heart. It would never extinguish his

:19:21. > :19:24.face. -- his faith. It broadened his moral imagination instead, and gave

:19:25. > :19:33.him the capacity to see all people as deserving of dignity and respect.

:19:34. > :19:41.It helped him see not just the world as it is but the world as it should

:19:42. > :19:47.be. What Shimon did to shape the story

:19:48. > :19:55.of Israel is well chronicled. Starting in the kibbutz that he

:19:56. > :20:03.founded with his wife, he began the work of building a moral community.

:20:04. > :20:07.Begu Rhian called him to serve at their headquarters to make sure that

:20:08. > :20:12.the British people have the armaments and organisation to secure

:20:13. > :20:16.their freedom. After independence, surrounded by enemies who denied

:20:17. > :20:24.Israel's existence and sought to drive it into the sea, the child who

:20:25. > :20:31.had wanted to be a poet of the stars became a man who built Israel's

:20:32. > :20:40.defence industry, who laid the foundation for the formidable Armed

:20:41. > :20:45.Forces that won Israel's wars. His skills secured Israel's strategic

:20:46. > :20:53.position, his boldness sent Israeli commandos to rescue Jews from

:20:54. > :21:02.Ethiopia. His statesmanship built an unbreakable bond with United States

:21:03. > :21:09.of the America -- United States of America and so many other countries.

:21:10. > :21:15.His contributions did not end there. Shimon showed what people can do

:21:16. > :21:19.when they harness reason and science to a common cause. He understood

:21:20. > :21:22.that a country without many natural resources could more than make up

:21:23. > :21:32.for it with the talents of its people. He made hard choices to roll

:21:33. > :21:36.back inflation and climb back from a terrible economic crisis. He

:21:37. > :21:44.champions the promise of science and technology to make the desert bloom

:21:45. > :21:48.and turned this tiny country into a central hub of the digital age,

:21:49. > :21:57.making life better not just for people here but people around the

:21:58. > :22:06.world. In deed, Shimon's contribution to this nation is so

:22:07. > :22:11.fundamental, so pervasive that perhaps sometimes they can be

:22:12. > :22:19.overlooked. For younger generation, Shimon was

:22:20. > :22:27.probably remembered more for a peace process that never reached its end

:22:28. > :22:33.point. They would listen to critics on the left who might argue that

:22:34. > :22:40.Shimon did not fully acknowledge the failings of his nation, or perhaps

:22:41. > :22:44.more numerous critics on the right who argue that he refused to see the

:22:45. > :23:02.true wickedness of the world and called him naive.

:23:03. > :23:08.But whatever he shared with his family or his closest friends, to

:23:09. > :23:15.the world he brushed off the critics. And I know from my

:23:16. > :23:26.conversations with him that his pursuit of peace was never naive.

:23:27. > :23:31.On one special occasion, each time, he would read the names of the

:23:32. > :23:35.family that he lost. As a young man he fed his village by working in the

:23:36. > :23:40.fields during the day, but then defending its by carrying a rifle at

:23:41. > :23:47.night. He understood, in this war-torn region, where too often

:23:48. > :23:52.Arab youths are taught to hate Israel from an early age, he

:23:53. > :24:04.understood just how hard peace would be. I'm sure he was alternatively

:24:05. > :24:07.angry and used to hear the same critics who called him hopelessly

:24:08. > :24:17.naive depend on the defence architecture that he himself had

:24:18. > :24:24.helped to build. I don't believe he was naive. He understood from

:24:25. > :24:31.hardened experience that true security comes to making peace with

:24:32. > :24:37.your neighbours. We won them all, he said of Israel's wars, but we did

:24:38. > :24:48.not win the greatest victory that we aspire to, release from the need to

:24:49. > :24:56.win victories. And just as he understood the practical necessity

:24:57. > :24:59.of peace, Shimon believe that Israel's exceptionalism was rooted

:25:00. > :25:09.not only infidelity to the Jewish people, -- was rooted not only in

:25:10. > :25:15.fidelity to the Jewish people but in the moral precepts of his Jewish

:25:16. > :25:21.faith. The Jewish people were not born to rule another people, he

:25:22. > :25:35.said. From the very first day, we are a guest, slaves and masters. Out

:25:36. > :25:43.of the hardships of the diaspora he found room in his heart for others

:25:44. > :25:48.who suffered. He came to hate prejudice with the passion of one

:25:49. > :25:56.who knows how it feels to be its targets. Even in the face of

:25:57. > :26:04.terrorist attacks, even after repeated disappointments at the

:26:05. > :26:11.negotiation table, he insisted that, as human beings, Palestinians must

:26:12. > :26:15.be seen as equal in dignity to Jews and must therefore be equal in

:26:16. > :26:24.self-determination. Because of his sense of justice, his analysis of

:26:25. > :26:30.Israel's security, his understanding of Israel's meaning, he believes

:26:31. > :26:39.that the Zionist idea would be best protected when Palestinians too had

:26:40. > :26:47.a state of their own. Of course, we gather here in the knowledge that

:26:48. > :26:59.Shimon never saw his dream of peace achieved. The region is going

:27:00. > :27:11.through a chaotic time. Threats are ever present. And yet he did not

:27:12. > :27:17.stop dreaming, and he did not stop working. By the time that I came to

:27:18. > :27:24.work with Shimon he was in the twilight of his years, although he

:27:25. > :27:29.might not admit it. I would be the tenth US president since John F.

:27:30. > :27:37.Kennedy to sit down with Shimon. The tenth to fall prey to his charms. I

:27:38. > :27:41.think of him sitting in the Oval Office, this final member of

:27:42. > :27:48.Israel's founding generation, under the portrait of George Washington,

:27:49. > :27:52.telling me stories from the past but, more often, talking with and

:27:53. > :28:04.he's Yaz of the present. His most recent lecture, his next project.

:28:05. > :28:12.His plans for the future. The wonders of his grandchildren. In

:28:13. > :28:20.many ways, he reminded me of some of the giants of the 20th-century that

:28:21. > :28:26.I've had the honour to meet. -- some other giants. Men like Nelson

:28:27. > :28:30.Mandela, women like Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. Leaders who have

:28:31. > :28:39.seen so much, whose lives span such momentous ethics that they find no

:28:40. > :28:53.needs to posture or traffic in what is popular in the moment. People who

:28:54. > :29:05.speak with the depth and knowledge, not in sound bites. They find no

:29:06. > :29:08.interest in polls or fads, and like these leaders, Shimon could be true

:29:09. > :29:17.to his convictions even if they cut against the grain of current

:29:18. > :29:23.opinion. He knew better than the cynic that if you look out over the

:29:24. > :29:32.arc of history, human beings should be filled not with fear but with

:29:33. > :29:37.hope. I'm sure that is why he was so excited about technology because,

:29:38. > :29:42.for him, it symbolised the march of human progress. And it is why he

:29:43. > :29:47.loved so much to talk about young people. Because he saw young people

:29:48. > :29:57.unburdened by the prejudices of the past. It's why he believed in

:29:58. > :30:07.miracles, because, in Israel, he saw a miracle come true. As Americans

:30:08. > :30:12.and Israelis, we often talk about the unbreakable bond between our

:30:13. > :30:19.nations and, yes, these bonds and compass common interests. Vital

:30:20. > :30:28.cooperation that makes both our nations more secure. But, today, we

:30:29. > :30:36.are reminded that the bonds that matter most... Anchored in a

:30:37. > :30:42.Judaeo-Christian tradition we believe an irreducible value of

:30:43. > :30:50.every human being. I nations were built on that idea -- our nations

:30:51. > :30:54.were built. They were built in large part by stubborn idealists and

:30:55. > :31:01.striping immigrants, including those who had fled war and oppression. --

:31:02. > :31:09.striving immigrants. Both our nations had flaws that were not

:31:10. > :31:14.always fixed. Parts of our history that dates back to our founding that

:31:15. > :31:25.we do not always squarely address. But because our founders planted not

:31:26. > :31:32.just flags in the eternal soil, but also planted the seeds of democracy,

:31:33. > :31:43.we have the ability to always pursue a better world. We have the capacity

:31:44. > :31:51.to do what is right. As an American, as a Christian, a person partly of

:31:52. > :32:00.African descent, born in Hawaii, a place that could not be further than

:32:01. > :32:11.where Shimon spent his youth, I took great pleasure in my friendship with

:32:12. > :32:17.his older, wiser man. We shared a love of words and books and history.

:32:18. > :32:26.And, perhaps, like most politicians we shared too much great joy in

:32:27. > :32:30.hearing ourselves talk. But beyond that, I think, our friendship was

:32:31. > :32:35.rooted in the fact that I could somehow see myself in his story and

:32:36. > :32:43.maybe he could see himself in line. Because, for all of our differences,

:32:44. > :32:51.both of us had lived such unlikely lives.

:32:52. > :32:54.It was so surprising to see the two of us,

:32:55. > :33:03.where we had started. Talking together in the White House, meeting

:33:04. > :33:16.here, in Israel. Both of us understood we were here

:33:17. > :33:25.only because, in some way, we reflected the magnificent story of

:33:26. > :33:31.our nations. Shimon 's story, the story of Israel. The experience of

:33:32. > :33:37.the Jewish people. I believe it is universal. It's the story of a

:33:38. > :33:41.people who come over so many centuries in the wilderness, never

:33:42. > :33:49.gave up on that basic human longing to return home. It's a story of a

:33:50. > :33:54.people who suffered the boot of oppression and the shutting of the

:33:55. > :33:59.gas chamber's door. And, yet, never gave up on a belief in goodness.

:34:00. > :34:10.And it's the story of a man who was counted on and off and counted out,

:34:11. > :34:15.again and again, and who never lost hope.

:34:16. > :34:21.Shimon Peres reminds us that the state of Israel, like the United

:34:22. > :34:29.States of America, was not built by cynics. We exist, because people

:34:30. > :34:34.before us refused to be constrained by the past or the difficulties of

:34:35. > :34:38.the present. And Shimon Peres was never cynical.

:34:39. > :34:47.It is that faith, that optimism, that belief, even when all the

:34:48. > :34:55.evidence is to the contrary, that tomorrow can be better. That makes

:34:56. > :35:03.us not just on Shimon Peres, but love him. -- just honour. The last

:35:04. > :35:07.of the founding generation has gone and Shimon accomplish enough things

:35:08. > :35:11.in his life for 1000 members he understood it is better to live to

:35:12. > :35:15.the very end of his time on earth with a longing not for the past, but

:35:16. > :35:23.for the dreams that have not yet come true. Then Israel that is

:35:24. > :35:27.secure with a just and lasting peace with its neighbours. Now this work

:35:28. > :35:40.is in the hands of Israel's next generation. In the hands of Israel

:35:41. > :35:45.'s next generation and friends. Like Joshua, we feel the weight of

:35:46. > :35:48.responsibility that Shimon seemed to wear so lightly. We draw strength

:35:49. > :35:58.from his example and the fact that he believed in us. Even when we

:35:59. > :36:03.doubted ourselves. Scripture tells us that before his death, Moses

:36:04. > :36:11.said, "I call upon heaven and earth to bear witness this day that I have

:36:12. > :36:17.set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore,

:36:18. > :36:30.choose life. That you and your offspring may live.

:36:31. > :36:39.Choose life. Fort Shimon chose life. Let us make his work our own. May

:36:40. > :36:41.God bless his memory, may God bless this country and this world that he

:36:42. > :37:19.loved so dearly. Shimon : President Barack Obama paying

:37:20. > :37:24.tribute to Shimon Peres, now being embraced by members of his family.

:37:25. > :37:29.He said he had the capacity to see all people as deserving of dignity

:37:30. > :37:33.and respect. He understood true security comes from making peace

:37:34. > :37:37.with your neighbours. He hated prejudice, he said. He said that he

:37:38. > :37:43.seemed to wear the weight of responsibility lightly. Some of what

:37:44. > :37:48.he said echoed Bill Clinton, who spoke a little earlier. You can see

:37:49. > :37:55.him there, now. He spoke earlier at this service. And said how Israel

:37:56. > :38:01.had watched Shimon Peres grow into a wise statesman. I think this is now

:38:02. > :38:07.in the morning prayer. At the service.

:38:08. > :38:09.In our Tel Aviv studio this morning is the Former Israeli Justice

:38:10. > :38:12.Minister Dr Yossi Beilin who served under Shimon Peres as his cabinet

:38:13. > :38:14.Secretary and was instrumental in initiating the Oslo Accords.

:38:15. > :38:18.From Jerusalem, is the Editor in Chief of the Jerusalem Post,

:38:19. > :38:21.Yaakov Katz, who met the former Israeli Prime Minister several times

:38:22. > :38:25.as a reporter and travelled with him on official trips.

:38:26. > :38:27.Joining me now is Professor Yossi Mekleberg an associate fellow

:38:28. > :38:30.for the Middle East and North Africa at the think tank Chatham House.

:38:31. > :38:37.He's an expert in the politics and history of Israel.

:38:38. > :38:49.Thank you all for joining us. , first of all, Yossi you worked with

:38:50. > :38:54.him for many years, tell us what he was like.

:38:55. > :39:02.First of all, I loved him, I loved this man. I was very close to him,

:39:03. > :39:08.for many, many years. It was never boring to be with him. He was

:39:09. > :39:15.unusually interesting. He always could tell you things that you never

:39:16. > :39:22.knew about. He didn't like to waste time, which was our common

:39:23. > :39:30.denominator. So, he liked to work, I liked to work. . We could do many

:39:31. > :39:37.things together. What I can say about him is that he was curious in

:39:38. > :39:40.an unusual way. I mean, it was not that he was only cure is in some

:39:41. > :39:45.political issues, wanted to know about politics of other nations and

:39:46. > :39:53.whatever -- only curious. He was curious about everything. Which was

:39:54. > :39:58.difficult, for me. I was interested in many things, but not in

:39:59. > :40:02.everything! But, sometimes he was like a child, wanting to know more

:40:03. > :40:08.about everything. The last thing was his interest in the human brains.

:40:09. > :40:15.And another thing, he knew he was a very important person. He had his

:40:16. > :40:22.ego, no doubt. He had his self-confidence, no doubt. But he

:40:23. > :40:29.was never ever smug. In the highest point of his career, when it felt

:40:30. > :40:35.like he was exactly where he wanted to be, you could think that maybe

:40:36. > :40:40.this is a moment in which he will allow himself to be a little bit

:40:41. > :40:46.smug or cynical about others, to dismiss others it's never happened

:40:47. > :40:54.to him. He was a politician who knew what he wanted, which is quite rare.

:40:55. > :41:00.He had a very, very clear agenda. As an executive, he knew more than many

:41:01. > :41:05.others how to get there. Both President Barack Obama and Bill

:41:06. > :41:09.Clinton felt the need to address what some have described as naivete

:41:10. > :41:14.in Shimon Peres, because of his desire for peace. They said he

:41:15. > :41:15.absolutely was not naive, but he had that vision. How would you describe

:41:16. > :41:24.him? First of all, there was naivete in

:41:25. > :41:29.him. It is never, you know, black and white. That people are totally

:41:30. > :41:33.cynical or totally naive. He was old enough and experienced enough not to

:41:34. > :41:40.be a naive person, a dreamer, who is not connected to reality. But there

:41:41. > :41:46.were points of naivete. Mainly about trust in people. Sometimes, I said

:41:47. > :41:53.to him, Shimon, how can you trust this person? You know who he is. He

:41:54. > :41:56.said, no, no, no, in everybody there is positive things. I believe he

:41:57. > :42:03.said to me something like that, he will fulfil it. Sometimes he was

:42:04. > :42:11.right. Sometimes he was wrong. But, there is no doubt that he was very

:42:12. > :42:15.optimistic. Now, most of the wise people are pessimistic, in my view.

:42:16. > :42:22.But, without optimism, you cannot achieve anything. Even if he knew

:42:23. > :42:29.that in many cases he will not be able to implement what he wanted, he

:42:30. > :42:33.understood that, as an optimist, you can believe that if you are doing

:42:34. > :42:41.the right things, in your view, you can achieve your target. Or at least

:42:42. > :42:45.get close to it. But if you are pessimistic, wise as much as you can

:42:46. > :42:49.be wise, and you do not do things because you believe the chance is

:42:50. > :42:55.not big, then, for sure, nothing will happen. As the years... That

:42:56. > :43:00.was, perhaps, close to naivete. As the years went on and as he realised

:43:01. > :43:05.what might hope happen after the Oslo accords might not happen, did

:43:06. > :43:11.he grow close to disillusioned at all? No. On the one hand, we all

:43:12. > :43:17.hoped that in five years, we could get to the permanent agreement. The

:43:18. > :43:23.deadline was made 1999. Nothing happened under Netanyahu. Of course,

:43:24. > :43:29.it created frustration. But, he did not give up.

:43:30. > :43:39.He convinced us, the people who were his colleagues then, in the party or

:43:40. > :43:44.others that you have to wait longer. Apparently. The fact that we did not

:43:45. > :43:50.meet the deadline didn't mean that we are doomed and only we, Israelis,

:43:51. > :43:56.will never have peace with our neighbours. He understood that

:43:57. > :44:01.eventually it will happen because it is a mutual interest of the

:44:02. > :44:04.Palestinians and of the Israelis. Because of the extremists on both

:44:05. > :44:13.sides, it might take longer. But he never gave up. It was not because of

:44:14. > :44:17.unusual strength or whatever, he just couldn't. He couldn't. Because

:44:18. > :44:25.of being, if you wish, selfish, he could not give up on it and we could

:44:26. > :44:30.not give up on it. Yaakov Katz editor in chief of the Jerusalem

:44:31. > :44:34.Post, obviously, he had his ideals, optimism about peace, but it was

:44:35. > :44:39.founded in a pragmatism for the protection of Israel. And he made

:44:40. > :44:46.sure that Israel's defence industry was strong. No question about it.

:44:47. > :44:49.Shimon Peres, I think is beyond just being about a founding father and

:44:50. > :44:54.one of the members of the founding generation of the state of Israel in

:44:55. > :44:58.having a hand in building the state. Mostly known for building the

:44:59. > :45:01.military as we know today. He was the one who crafted the deal in the

:45:02. > :45:06.midnight and 50s for Israel to obtain a nuclear reactor from the

:45:07. > :45:11.French around the Suez crisis -- mid-19 50s. He opened the doors to

:45:12. > :45:16.France to get France as Israel's main strategic partner and combat

:45:17. > :45:20.air -- aircraft. Over the years, that was what he was known for, he

:45:21. > :45:21.built up the Israel air space industries which is an international

:45:22. > :45:32.conglomerate today. He is possibly the world leader when

:45:33. > :45:36.it comes to drones, electronic warfare and other systems. You can

:45:37. > :45:40.attribute those things to Shimon Peres. But, I think, at the same

:45:41. > :45:45.time, you genuinely believe that a peace deal with the Palestinians and

:45:46. > :45:50.the separation from them, the establishment of a Palestinian state

:45:51. > :45:54.no doubt including the removal of many Israeli settlements in the West

:45:55. > :46:00.back was part of the Israeli interest, part of a vision in

:46:01. > :46:04.keeping Israel strong, ensuring its strength and survival in the face of

:46:05. > :46:07.the multitude of threats and challenges it faces in the region.

:46:08. > :46:12.That is what made him unique. On the one hand he was a hawk when it came

:46:13. > :46:17.to Israeli security and military, but when you look at his vision of

:46:18. > :46:20.the new Middle East, how Israel should separate from the

:46:21. > :46:23.Palestinians and give them a state which is something that, let's say,

:46:24. > :46:27.people on the right and even some members of the current Israeli

:46:28. > :46:34.government believe is wrong and too dangerous, Peres would have argued

:46:35. > :46:37.that this is part of the way of keeping Israel strong. It is part of

:46:38. > :46:44.one overarching vision. Yaakov Katz, thank you for joining us. Dr Yossi

:46:45. > :46:51.Beilin, I hope you can remain with us for a few minutes longer. With me

:46:52. > :46:57.in the studio I have Professor Yossi Mekleberg from Regents University,

:46:58. > :47:02.the director of social sciences. How did you see the legacy of Shimon

:47:03. > :47:06.Peres? Gulp it is so difficult to talk about the legacy of someone who

:47:07. > :47:13.was active politically in Israeli life for seven decades, just to sum

:47:14. > :47:16.it up in a sentence. I think Dr Yossi Beilin express the complexity

:47:17. > :47:23.of the man and the revolution of his thinking. He is the product of the

:47:24. > :47:29.history that he lived, from the Holocaust and post-Holocaust and

:47:30. > :47:34.independence, the Cold War, to globalisation. In many ways, he

:47:35. > :47:38.evolved with the world and saw the changes. He had this intellectual

:47:39. > :47:43.capacity that many politicians don't have, to change his mind and to

:47:44. > :47:48.understand that it was right at a certain point but not necessarily

:47:49. > :47:56.right at another point. So at one point it was red phase rail to be a

:47:57. > :48:00.strong military power, -- it was right for Israel to be a strong

:48:01. > :48:08.military power, but also to understand that this -- that of

:48:09. > :48:13.Israel wants to stay... They need to extend the hand of peace towards the

:48:14. > :48:21.Palestinians and acceptability within the region. I obviously did

:48:22. > :48:27.not know Shimon Peres as well as Dr Yossi Beilin, but in the meeting of

:48:28. > :48:33.a small British delegation you could see some of the dreams, but not a

:48:34. > :48:37.daydreamer. It is a vision. When he talks... Why are you talking to me

:48:38. > :48:43.about boulders, talk to me about the digital age. We need to talk about a

:48:44. > :48:47.Middle East that is not a low-wage economy, people involved in hi-tech.

:48:48. > :48:53.So it is this capacity of renewal that I have not seen in any other

:48:54. > :48:56.politician. Dr Yossi Beilin, a man with the huge legacy, a man with the

:48:57. > :49:05.enormous ability, as you have described. Why did he never win a

:49:06. > :49:22.popular mandate at an election? Well, he won once in 84, he became

:49:23. > :49:27.the Prime Minister. Then he got the real popular support. Otherwise, you

:49:28. > :49:31.got 50% in 96, which was a tragedy. I believe that had he then be the

:49:32. > :49:37.Prime Minister of Israel, we could have achieved peace with the

:49:38. > :49:41.Palestinians by 1999. I think that what happened to him, if we talk

:49:42. > :49:49.about popularity, is that he was very popular when he was a hawkish

:49:50. > :49:58.leader in the Labour Party, because then he could get the support of one

:49:59. > :50:03.of its leaders, and on the other hand the support of the

:50:04. > :50:13.centre-right. When he moved in the 70s, 80s and, of course, the 90s,

:50:14. > :50:18.them all dovish part of the political arena in Israel, he lost

:50:19. > :50:22.the centre-right, and he was left with the centre-left and the left,

:50:23. > :50:31.which made it very very difficult for him to win again. When he was

:50:32. > :50:35.nominated as the leader of his party after the resignation of Yitzhak

:50:36. > :50:42.Rabin and 77, he was nominated because he was the most popular

:50:43. > :50:47.leader in that party, as a minister of defence who was considered a real

:50:48. > :50:52.hawk. When he became dovish, at least in the perception of the

:50:53. > :50:58.people, rightly so, I believe, you lost part of the support and

:50:59. > :51:04.regained it only when he became president. And, in a way, he gave up

:51:05. > :51:15.on actually speaking his mind loudly enough. Professor Yossi Mekleberg,

:51:16. > :51:19.is that the eternal conundrum, effectively, in Israel, trying to

:51:20. > :51:22.get the right balance between hawkish and being a dove, the need

:51:23. > :51:29.for popular support and the desire for peace? You need to won an

:51:30. > :51:35.election on a platform that you need to change completely your glove for

:51:36. > :51:41.the sake of the country. But I think there is a way to combine, and

:51:42. > :51:45.Shimon Peres managed to combine it for many years. It was not as

:51:46. > :51:52.popular when he was a politician, then he became a father figure as a

:51:58. > :52:01.Israeli politics that you had to be very strong in negotiation. You have

:52:02. > :52:05.to be strong negotiation but you need to have a strategy and a

:52:31. > :52:36.the day, more than it was Shimon Peres loss for not serving as Prime

:52:37. > :52:42.Minister, it was the loss of the country. Thank you very much, Dr

:53:13. > :53:15.will crash land on a comet it has been orbiting for two years.

:53:16. > :53:18.It'll bring to an end a twelve year mission by the European Space Agency

:53:19. > :53:21.to try to gather data, which could eventually tell us how

:53:22. > :53:24.It's pretty big stuff and since being launched into space,

:53:25. > :53:26.Rosetta has travelled billions of miles.

:53:27. > :53:30.It is sent back thousands of images and even landed a Robert onto the

:53:31. > :53:32.surface of the comet. Now there is just the small matter of crushing

:53:33. > :53:33.itself into a frozen peas of cosmic debris travelling through space at

:53:34. > :53:38.around 30,000 miles an hour. Oh, I'm just so happy,

:53:39. > :54:22.it's just wonderful! We've waited so long

:54:23. > :54:56.and now it's happening! Let's talk now to Sarah

:54:57. > :54:58.Cruddas, who's a space And Paul McMahon, he works

:54:59. > :55:01.for Airbus which built the Rosetta spacecraft - he's responsible

:55:02. > :55:03.for the 'reaction wheels' which basically control the movement

:55:04. > :55:06.of it, and he had to fix them when they failed

:55:07. > :55:15.on the other side of Jupiter. We will get you to explain how you

:55:16. > :55:20.did that. Sarah, it has been described as you's moon landing

:55:21. > :55:25.moment. Really? I think we take for granted how much we have done in

:55:26. > :55:29.space, but we had an very little. We have not sent humans back to the

:55:30. > :55:34.Moon" years, we have never landed on a comet until this mission happened.

:55:35. > :55:40.It had an epic journey across the solar system. The technical

:55:41. > :55:46.equivalent of this was landing a fly on a speeding bullet. At the moment,

:55:47. > :55:49.the comet is moving at around 14 kilometres a second. We have managed

:55:50. > :55:54.to send a spacecraft from Earth, which was dreams up in the

:55:55. > :55:58.mid-1980s, send it to this comet, chase it across the solar system,

:55:59. > :56:03.study how life might have come to be. Comets were around at the early

:56:04. > :56:07.solar system we think they might have ceded a very young earth with

:56:08. > :56:10.the potential ingredients for life. We are updating the jigsaw pieces

:56:11. > :56:14.together and we have never done something like this before, it is an

:56:15. > :56:19.Apollo moment in terms of exploration. It is great for Europe,

:56:20. > :56:23.it is just huge ad incredible. Lots of people have worked very hard. It

:56:24. > :56:27.was an expensive mission, but you get a lot of innovation and

:56:28. > :56:31.technology back from. It is a game changeable to stop it is the next

:56:32. > :56:37.piece in the jigsaw of asking the fundamental questions of who we are,

:56:38. > :56:41.where we came from, why we exist, is there life beyond the solar system

:56:42. > :56:44.and in the solar system? All these questions, extraordinary claims

:56:45. > :56:48.require extraordinary evidence, as a MIDI wants that. We are piecing

:56:49. > :56:52.together evidence to answer fundamental questions about our

:56:53. > :56:57.existence. Paul, I said you are effectively responsible for the

:56:58. > :57:00.wheels? There four reaction wheels on board Rosetta, used to point the

:57:01. > :57:05.spacecraft whenever they want to image something or reorient the

:57:06. > :57:12.spacecraft. There was a problem with them, and it is quite a long way

:57:13. > :57:16.away?! After Rosetta flew past a comet in 2008, we noticed that the

:57:17. > :57:20.friction that one of the wheels was increasing, so we had to work on it,

:57:21. > :57:25.change the parameters, managed to really book eight it when it was

:57:26. > :57:29.orbiting Jupiter, so that when it came out of hibernation in January

:57:30. > :57:33.2014, it started at the wheels again, things were running much

:57:34. > :57:39.better. If that had not been fixed, it would have been kaput? It would

:57:40. > :57:42.not have been a kaput mission, but it would have been a degraded

:57:43. > :57:47.mission. They could not have used the reaction wheels as they wanted,

:57:48. > :57:51.they would have had to rely more on thrusters. Looking at the orbit of

:57:52. > :57:59.Rosetta, it is a triangular shaped orbit. Every time the spacecraft

:58:00. > :58:02.goes round one of the corners of the triangle, the reaction wheels rotate

:58:03. > :58:06.the spacecraft and pointed in a new direction. They were working very,

:58:07. > :58:10.very hard. Sarah, you have described what was

:58:11. > :58:14.done as like landing a fly on a moving bullet, that brings it home

:58:15. > :58:20.when you talk about that. In terms of what is being done today, why is

:58:21. > :58:24.it being crashed into the comet? Its panels will not get enough energy or

:58:25. > :58:30.heat from the sun to keep it away, because it is going so far away. It

:58:31. > :58:34.could be sent to sleep. The comet orbits around the earth, it takes

:58:35. > :58:39.about six years to orbit around the sun. We could put was that it sleep

:58:40. > :58:44.and maybe wake it up, it probably would not wake up and it could just

:58:45. > :58:49.end up as space junk, space debris. As humans we have always generated

:58:50. > :58:54.waste. I am talking about colliding with a comet, it is the final piece

:58:55. > :58:57.of science in the mission, I really interesting area where they will try

:58:58. > :59:02.to land Rosetta. As soon as it collides we will not get further

:59:03. > :59:06.communication, but we will get lots of closer pictures. This but they

:59:07. > :59:13.have picked is rather flat, it is almost like goose bumps, embryos of

:59:14. > :59:17.comments. It will help us understand more about how comets form. You hear

:59:18. > :59:22.about words like solar systems, comets etc, but we don't know the

:59:23. > :59:27.exact and says about many things, so it is helping along the way in terms

:59:28. > :59:32.of science and potential. The amount of research and data and information

:59:33. > :59:36.means that kids at school now who might be interested in space, if

:59:37. > :59:45.they become a scientist in 20 or 30 years, they will be studying data

:59:46. > :59:46.from this mission, so it is not over in terms of research and exciting

:59:47. > :59:51.developments. Very cool, thank you. Get in touch

:59:52. > :59:57.if you have any thoughts on that, now mat has the weather.

:59:58. > :00:03.A cool breeze will bring in showers. They have been most frequent across

:00:04. > :00:08.western area so far. If you will make towards the east in the

:00:09. > :00:13.afternoon. Big gaps between some of the showers, many staying completely

:00:14. > :00:18.dry through the day. Not far off yesterday's values, 12 to 19

:00:19. > :00:22.degrees. As showers go through you will notice a chill in the wind.

:09:51. > :09:56.That bigger share, who don't own a home.

:09:57. > :10:00.That's crucial, because young adults now paying high rents

:17:32. > :17:35.hours, the Rosetta spacecraft will crash land on the comet it has

:17:36. > :17:37.been orbiting and studying It'll bring an end to

:17:38. > :17:41.an amazing 12-year mission by the European Space Agency

:17:42. > :17:44.to try to gather data from the comet data, which could help us discover

:17:45. > :17:47.how our solar system was created. Since being launched into space,

:17:48. > :17:49.Rosetta has travelled billions of miles, sent back thousands

:17:50. > :17:52.of images and even landed a robot Now there's just the small matter

:17:53. > :17:56.of crashing itself, at something approaching walking pace speed,

:17:57. > :17:59.into a frozen piece of cosmic debris travelling through space

:18:00. > :18:15.at about 30,000 miles an hour. We can speak to Rebecca Morelle, our

:18:16. > :18:21.correspondent at mission control in Germany. It is almost over for

:18:22. > :18:26.Rosetta, tell us about how they are feeling? Not too long to go. The

:18:27. > :18:32.Rosetta spacecraft is currently in freefall, heading for a gentle

:18:33. > :18:36.collision. It will not be an explosive impact with the surface of

:18:37. > :18:40.the comet, but it will finish the spacecraft. There is a mix of

:18:41. > :18:44.emotions from the team. There is the pride in what the mission has

:18:45. > :18:51.achieved, it was conceived in the 1980s, the idea to do this. It is

:18:52. > :18:56.one of the most bold and, in some ways, bonkers space missions ever

:18:57. > :19:00.attempted. The idea of hunting a comet down that speeding through the

:19:01. > :19:04.solar system, take ten years to get there, put a spacecraft in orbit

:19:05. > :19:09.around it, land something on that. But all things had to come to an

:19:10. > :19:12.end, so pride and then sadness. But rather than letting the spacecraft

:19:13. > :19:17.fade into oblivion, because the problem is that the comet is moving

:19:18. > :19:21.away from the sun at the moment and resented his solar powered, it will

:19:22. > :19:30.run out of power a eventually. -- and Rosetta is solar powered. So

:19:31. > :19:33.they are dumping it on the surface of the comet, where it will remain

:19:34. > :19:36.for a very long time to come. There is real sadness from the team, one

:19:37. > :19:40.of the scientists I spoke to had a pack of tissues, he said he has

:19:41. > :19:46.cried at every stage so will be crying at the end of the mission. A

:19:47. > :19:51.real mix at Mission HQ. It has cost a huge amount, troubled

:19:52. > :19:59.a huge distance, what has been achieved? What is known now that was

:20:00. > :20:04.not known before Rosetta's mission? The mission has totally transformed

:20:05. > :20:09.our understanding of comets. We knew that comets were balls of ice and

:20:10. > :20:13.dust whizzing around the solar system. But when you look at the

:20:14. > :20:18.first images that came back, the shape and the geological complexity,

:20:19. > :20:22.the mountains on the surface, the cracks, the boulders the size of

:20:23. > :20:28.houses, it is a really interesting place just to look at, for starters.

:20:29. > :20:32.Comets are really imparted to study, they are relics from the dawn of the

:20:33. > :20:37.solar system -- really important to study. They are practically

:20:38. > :20:43.unchanged for 4.6 billion years. If you can get onto the surface of a

:20:44. > :20:50.comet and study it in detail, like the Philae robot did, it is like a

:20:51. > :20:54.time capsule. We found out that the comet has chemicals on their recent

:20:55. > :20:59.to life, so there is an idea that a crash landing from a comet into the

:21:00. > :21:04.earth delivered to these chemicals here and kick-started life here. If

:21:05. > :21:08.you find these things, you can find about the origins of planets,

:21:09. > :21:13.origins of the Earth and our origin, too. The observations will stop, but

:21:14. > :21:19.scientists recommend have enough to keep them busy for decades to come.

:21:20. > :21:26.Joining the dots from what you describe as a relic from the dawn of

:21:27. > :21:31.the solar system to how planets became, there is a huge amount of

:21:32. > :21:40.distance between those two. How on earth do you join those dots? What

:21:41. > :21:45.happens now? Basically, the idea is that you just have a bucket load of

:21:46. > :21:49.data. The two years that the Rosetta spacecraft has been orbiting the

:21:50. > :21:54.comet, there are 11 instruments are. It has recorded the gases coming

:21:55. > :21:59.off, the chemical make-up, the temperature. The magnetic field

:22:00. > :22:04.around it. That sort of thing. And also the data that came back from

:22:05. > :22:09.Philae. But then you had to take it back and study, it will take time.

:22:10. > :22:13.You need to find out what is there and how it fits together. We have

:22:14. > :22:18.models of what happened at the very start up the solar system. If you

:22:19. > :22:21.have the raw material, you can chuck that information into those models

:22:22. > :22:27.and that will give you a better idea of what happened. The science is one

:22:28. > :22:31.legacy of this. One thing is how it has captured the public's

:22:32. > :22:35.imagination. This is a robotic mission. People have an affinity

:22:36. > :22:38.with the spacecraft that went down two years ago. There must have been

:22:39. > :22:44.kids there watching their coverage couple of years ago of the Philae

:22:45. > :22:50.landing thinking that being a scientist sounds really quite fun

:22:51. > :22:53.and interesting as a job, so there is also that and the ambition of

:22:54. > :22:58.this. The mission goes to show that you can have really bold ideas,

:22:59. > :23:02.hunting down a comet, getting to orbit around it, landing on it costs

:23:03. > :23:06.a lot of money. It takes a lot of guts to do it. It might have gone

:23:07. > :23:12.horribly wrong. If you have these big ideas and you can achieve them,

:23:13. > :23:18.that is also fantastic. That will be important for the space missions to

:23:19. > :23:21.come into in the future. The Rosetta mission has held up exactly what you

:23:22. > :23:24.can do in terms of space science, that will be a real legacy. Thank

:23:25. > :23:42.you, Rebecca. A short time ago I spoke to Paul

:23:43. > :23:44.McMahon, who built the wheels on the Rosetta.

:23:45. > :23:45.There are four reaction wheels which are used

:23:46. > :23:48.to point the spacecraft where they want to image something

:23:49. > :23:50.or re-orientate the spacecraft on a new trajectory.

:23:51. > :23:52.There was a problem with them, wasn't there?

:23:53. > :23:54.What a long way away, explain what happened.

:23:55. > :23:56.After Rosetta flew past, comet is in 2008, we noticed

:23:57. > :23:58.that the friction on one of the wheels was increasing,

:23:59. > :24:01.We changed some of the parameters and we managed to read lubricated

:24:02. > :24:11.-- really lubricate it while it was out by Jupiter.

:24:12. > :24:13.So that when it came out of hibernation, in January, 2014,

:24:14. > :24:16.they started up the wheels again and things were running much better.

:24:17. > :24:18.So, presumably, that was fundamental.

:24:19. > :24:20.If that hadn't have been fixed that would have been kaput?

:24:21. > :24:23.No, it would not have been kaput to the mission,

:24:24. > :24:25.but it would it would have been a degraded mission

:24:26. > :24:28.because they would not have been able to use the reaction wheels

:24:29. > :24:31.They would have had to rely more on the thrusters.

:24:32. > :24:34.If you look at the orbit of Rosetta round the comment,

:24:35. > :24:36.basically a triangular-shaped orbit, every time the spacecraft goes

:24:37. > :24:39.round one of the corners of the triangle, the reaction wheels

:24:40. > :24:42.and rotate the space craft and point it in a new direction,

:24:43. > :24:49.Let's talk to Monica Grady, who joins us from Darmstadt.

:24:50. > :24:51.She's a Professor of Planetary and Space Science at

:24:52. > :24:56.the Open University, based at the European Space Agency.

:24:57. > :25:03.Thank you very much for joining us. Before I ask how you are feeling, I

:25:04. > :25:07.want to just show everyone how you are feeling and reacting two years

:25:08. > :25:10.ago when the Rosetta dropped the Philae lander on the comet.

:25:11. > :25:44.I think you were quite excited. I was mildly pleased, yes. What has

:25:45. > :25:49.got you so excited about this mission? I have been involved with

:25:50. > :25:56.it for a long time. I was looking to day as a picture that was drawn of

:25:57. > :26:02.the instrument that I have been associated with, it was run in 1993.

:26:03. > :26:05.This is the first schematic diagram. I have been looking into the science

:26:06. > :26:12.of comets since well before then. To go through the journey of Rosetta

:26:13. > :26:17.and the Philae, of course, and come to the end, it has been huge part of

:26:18. > :26:21.my scientific career. Our science correspondent Rebecca said it was a

:26:22. > :26:25.bold and bonkers project. Did you ever think it would be possible to

:26:26. > :26:31.achieve what has been achieved, landing a probe on a comet?

:26:32. > :26:37.I take issue with the bonkers. It was certainly bold. You don't start

:26:38. > :26:42.out a mission thinking that you will not be able to achieve it, you

:26:43. > :26:46.started thinking, yes, actually, it is really well planned, the

:26:47. > :26:51.engineers know what they are doing. Then something goes wrong like, oh,

:26:52. > :26:54.crikey, the launch was postponed for a year. And you have to look for

:26:55. > :27:01.another commentary target, which is what happened. And you think, OK, we

:27:02. > :27:06.have not had quite the information that we need. But it has been

:27:07. > :27:10.fantastic to trouble for 8 billion kilometres or whatever it is, a huge

:27:11. > :27:16.number of kilometres, and do the things that the Rosetta spacecraft

:27:17. > :27:21.has done, it is an enormous project and has been a huge success.

:27:22. > :27:26.With something that is so outside of the thinking of most of us, it has

:27:27. > :27:32.been hard to grapple with how significant this is and what has

:27:33. > :27:37.been achieved in terms of technically and everything else.

:27:38. > :27:43.Just try to encapsulate that for us? Technically, the landing of Philae

:27:44. > :27:48.on the comet was almost successful. It landed on its side instead of its

:27:49. > :27:55.legs. It achieved most of its objective. You had to think about

:27:56. > :27:59.the communications. I'm talking to you from Darmstadt in Germany, I can

:28:00. > :28:03.hear a tiny delay on the line. Imagine trying to talk to me if the

:28:04. > :28:08.delay was 20 minutes, which is what it is between here and Rosetta. You

:28:09. > :28:12.can't have a proper conversation, so you have to send a packet of

:28:13. > :28:17.instructions and wait for something to happen. All that programming has

:28:18. > :28:22.to be done in advance. The fact that the instruments worked as well as

:28:23. > :28:26.they did with each other on very, very low amounts of power, it has

:28:27. > :28:32.been a wonderfully cooperative venture with all these scientists

:28:33. > :28:37.throughout Europe. And to come together and then get different data

:28:38. > :28:41.from the different instruments and then talk about the data together

:28:42. > :28:46.and collaborate, to build up a much more complete picture of a comet,

:28:47. > :28:52.which is overturning the other models we have had in the past of a

:28:53. > :29:01.comet, it has just been wonderful. What have you learned, then? We have

:29:02. > :29:05.learned about what the comet is made from, we have seen the composition

:29:06. > :29:09.is perhaps slightly different from what we thought in terms of the

:29:10. > :29:15.minerals. Certainly with the water and the ice, the hydrogen in the

:29:16. > :29:19.water is different from how we would have predicted it to be, knowing

:29:20. > :29:24.what we do about the hydrogen in the sun and on the earth. So we had to

:29:25. > :29:29.think a lot about what happened to the water when the solar system was

:29:30. > :29:33.forming. Of course, we have found all these building blocks, the

:29:34. > :29:37.glycine, the sugars, these really important molecules essential for

:29:38. > :29:41.life. We have found those. I think the most fascinating thing is the

:29:42. > :29:49.images. When you look at these images, as Rebecca said a minute

:29:50. > :29:53.ago, the chasms, they appear to be strata, they look like riverbeds and

:29:54. > :29:57.grey seal valleys. They are not. You try to interpret them in terms of

:29:58. > :30:04.terrestrial processes, and you can't. It has built a new science

:30:05. > :30:08.of, tree morphology, which is interpreting these landforms. That

:30:09. > :30:12.is so important and so interesting -- a new science of comet

:30:13. > :30:18.morphology. They will apply to all sorts of bodies in the solar

:30:19. > :30:25.systems, moons around other planets, Pluto, asteroids. It is the

:30:26. > :30:31.beginning. The mission, the data collection part of the mission is

:30:32. > :30:35.over, but the data reduction and interpretation and understanding and

:30:36. > :30:39.application has only just started. Thank you very much, Monica.

:30:40. > :30:42.As Italian police recover two stolen Van Goghs,

:35:58. > :36:04.we understand will be a whole range of allegations that are made over a

:36:05. > :36:08.series of days in the newspaper. Continued this week. Ten month

:36:09. > :36:14.investigation. The results of which they are revealing and have been

:36:15. > :36:20.doing so. Sam Allardyce was revealed to be, by undercover reporters,

:36:21. > :36:24.talking to them about potentially getting around third-party ownership

:36:25. > :36:29.rules. Suggesting he knew a way how to do that. He was the negotiating

:36:30. > :36:35.an appearance fee of ?400,000. It was within 24 hours, almost, there's

:36:36. > :36:40.newspaper allegations coming out, in the Daily Telegraph, that he lost

:36:41. > :36:44.his job. Tommy Wright in the day subsequent was one of those named,

:36:45. > :36:48.Barnsley Assistant Manager placed under investigation. You can see him

:36:49. > :36:52.here. Sacked yesterday as a result of the allegations in the Daily

:37:19. > :37:24.Telegraph. It has been a sinew of, including today of allegations that

:37:25. > :37:29.Southampton manager Eric Black gave undercover reporter 's advice on how

:37:44. > :37:47.denies the claims. Southampton have said they will investigate those

:37:48. > :37:51.claims, including, you can understand that as these claims and

:37:52. > :37:55.all the investigations, the details of that are revealed, day by day,

:37:56. > :37:59.there are more investigations that have to be done by clubs. They are

:38:00. > :38:04.seeking all the information from the Daily Telegraph. Police are getting

:38:05. > :38:09.involved as well. We don't know how long it will go on for. A suggestion

:38:10. > :38:12.that ten months of work will be relayed in the newspaper over the

:38:13. > :38:16.next few days. Interesting to see who else they are able to name and

:38:17. > :38:21.what effect it has on some of those people's careers.

:38:22. > :38:28.It's a year since a change in the law made it possible

:38:42. > :38:45.But figures show more people than ever in England and wales

:38:46. > :38:51.are dying from heroin and other opiate drugs.

:38:52. > :38:54.With me now is Karl Price a former drug user who has been saved

:38:55. > :38:56.from dying of an overdose by naloxone on three occasions.

:38:57. > :38:59.And Stacey Smith from the charity Change Grow Live, which has trained

:39:00. > :39:02.more than 6,000 people to be able to administer naloxone.

:39:03. > :39:11.Thank you both for coming in. Stacey, tell us how it works. It

:39:12. > :39:15.sounds like a miracle if somebody has overdosed, but this injection

:39:16. > :39:20.can reverse that? What naloxone does, it reverses the effect of the

:39:21. > :39:25.opiate overdose. The main killer from an acute overdose is not being

:39:26. > :39:29.able to breathe. What naloxone does, it boots out the opiate and allows

:39:30. > :39:35.the person to breathe again. It is as simple as that. How many people

:39:36. > :39:40.has your charity actually trained? We've trained round about... Mostly

:39:41. > :39:45.all of our staff teams, we've already saved 241 lives. It has been

:39:46. > :39:48.a real driver for us, when the regulations changed in October, we

:39:49. > :39:55.were really driving this training for people. Stacey says you can't

:39:56. > :40:02.breathe when you overdose with an opiate. You have been there, three

:40:03. > :40:06.times, describe what it is like. You kind of, you know, becomes

:40:07. > :40:11.semi-unconscious. Your breathing drops, your heart rate drops. You

:40:12. > :40:14.can, kind of, you are where little bit of what is going on around you

:40:15. > :40:20.but you can't speak, you can't move, stuff like that. -- you are aware.

:40:21. > :40:28.It's not a nice place to go to. And you feel you are dying? That there's

:40:29. > :40:32.no way back? No... You kind of... You're not really sure what's going

:40:33. > :40:39.on. You feel like you're kind of slipping into a deep sleep type of

:40:40. > :40:43.thing. You will feel really drowsy. And you are, pretty much,

:40:44. > :40:47.unconscious. As I mentioned, you have overdosed three times and on

:40:48. > :40:52.those three occasions, your life has been saved with this injection.

:40:53. > :40:56.Yeah. When you are injected, what happens, then? What it does, it

:40:57. > :41:00.actually removed the morphine from your receptors in your brain. It

:41:01. > :41:05.will give you a massive adrenaline rush. -- it actually removes. You go

:41:06. > :41:10.from being unconscious, unresponsive, and you will wake up

:41:11. > :41:14.really quickly. It will put you into a withdrawal. Describe how all of

:41:15. > :41:23.that feels, in the moment. The first time I had it, obviously,

:41:24. > :41:27.it was quite surprising because I never had it before. The second and

:41:28. > :41:32.third time I had it, I obviously knew what was happening. I was more

:41:33. > :41:36.aware. I was just pretty relieved to be alive, if I'm honest. Once the

:41:37. > :41:44.doctors and nurses had explained to me what had happened, I was just

:41:45. > :41:48.relieved that it was there. I wouldn't be sitting here today if it

:41:49. > :41:53.wasn't for naloxone. I am one of the success stories because I had it on

:41:54. > :41:58.three occasions. On one of those occasions, I had overdosed and 20

:41:59. > :42:02.minutes later, when the naloxone wore off, I overdosed again. It kind

:42:03. > :42:08.of saved my life twice in one sitting. Having gone through that

:42:09. > :42:13.experience once and knowing that you would have died, if you hadn't of

:42:14. > :42:19.had the naloxone, you might think that would be a wake-up call. How

:42:20. > :42:24.did you react to that? I guess, when you're addicted to, you know, class

:42:25. > :42:30.a drugs, every time you use, you're risking life, really. You don't

:42:31. > :42:34.really look at it like that. The power of addiction and the way that

:42:35. > :42:41.you think, even though you know you are taking a risk, you, kind of,

:42:42. > :42:48.don't think about that stuff. Your main priority is using drugs. Did

:42:49. > :42:54.naloxone take away your fear of overdosing? To be fair, kind of

:42:55. > :42:58.before I'd had the naloxone, I didn't really have a fear of

:42:59. > :43:04.overdosing. It's not something that you think about. When I was using, I

:43:05. > :43:09.would kind of use as much as I could, every single day, if I could

:43:10. > :43:15.get hold of it. I didn't, kind of, think well, there's a risk I might

:43:16. > :43:19.overdose. My overdoses and a lot of ones I have heard of and I have had

:43:20. > :43:23.friends and a partner who died, they are accidental overdoses because

:43:24. > :43:30.they are not thinking they are using too much. Or that they are at risk

:43:31. > :43:35.of overdose. Stacey, could the knowledge that there is an injection

:43:36. > :43:41.that can effectively bring you back to life after an overdose take away

:43:42. > :43:46.a fear of overdosing, for some? I think as Karl has explained, people

:43:47. > :43:49.are not in that state of mind at that moment. We know that most

:43:50. > :43:53.overdoses are accidental overdoses, these people don't necessarily want

:43:54. > :43:57.to die but they are caught up in their habit. I think when we give

:43:58. > :44:01.naloxone, there is a lot more training that goes with it around

:44:02. > :44:06.basic life support, how to put people in the recovery position,

:44:07. > :44:09.make sure you ring 999 and it is an opportunity for drugs workers to

:44:10. > :44:13.bring people into treatment. The most dangerous is when you use on

:44:14. > :44:17.your own in an unsafe place because there is nobody there to help you.

:44:18. > :44:20.One of our drivers at the moment is trying to get naloxone out to as

:44:21. > :44:24.many people as possible through drug workers, pharmacists, through

:44:25. > :44:28.lifeguards, the police. There are all of these people that may come

:44:29. > :44:32.across those people. What message is that sending? A message that an

:44:33. > :44:38.overdose isn't the worst thing to fear because there is the antidote?

:44:39. > :44:43.Everybody deserves a second chance. If Karl hadn't received naloxone, he

:44:44. > :44:47.would not be here today. That is the message. People go through stages

:44:48. > :44:50.and they deserve a chance to get their lives on track and it brings

:44:51. > :44:53.people into services and allows us to work with people. It is very

:44:54. > :44:57.difficult to work with someone when they are dead. This is a drug that

:44:58. > :45:01.is completely simple. It is given and it reverses the effects. Andrew

:45:02. > :45:05.on Facebook, we spend too much time and money pandering to the

:45:06. > :45:10.self-inflicted injuries. Youngsters think it is fine to take legal highs

:45:11. > :45:14.and self-inflicted drugs, no it isn't, it is the slippery slope.

:45:15. > :45:17.Think of the money and time wasted in hospitals to save these people so

:45:18. > :45:19.they can do it again. Life is tough for everybody, get over it. Do you

:45:20. > :45:30.want to react to that? I think until you have actually been

:45:31. > :45:34.few active addiction, to understand that, for me, addiction is a mental

:45:35. > :45:39.illness. When I was using drugs, people might think that I had a

:45:40. > :45:43.choice on whether or not to do that, but once I was mentally and

:45:44. > :45:48.physically addicted to it it's kind of became my whole life. I was

:45:49. > :45:52.saying yesterday it is kind of like when you put a horse into a race,

:45:53. > :45:59.they have got blinkers on, they don't see anything else around them,

:46:00. > :46:03.they have just got complete tunnel vision. That is kind of what it was

:46:04. > :46:07.like when I was using. I was rounded from a really early age, I had a

:46:08. > :46:11.really traumatic childhood. It is not as simple as one day I decided

:46:12. > :46:17.to use drugs, I will just pick them up. At the end of the day, there are

:46:18. > :46:25.people out there using, there are people out there that will overdose.

:46:26. > :46:29.Nalaoxone will save their life. It does not make them bad people

:46:30. > :46:37.because they are using drugs. For me, it can only be positive. Now I

:46:38. > :46:43.get to work with people and I get to see it on a daily basis, and I am

:46:44. > :46:47.very passionate about trying to make people more aware of Nalaoxone, and

:46:48. > :46:52.the fact that it can save people's lives. I get people coming out of

:46:53. > :46:55.prison with no tolerance, who might think that they can come out of

:46:56. > :47:00.prison and use the same amount of drugs as they did before they went

:47:01. > :47:05.into prison, they are at massive risk of overdose. And like Stacey

:47:06. > :47:09.said, about the families as well. Because obviously I have had a

:47:10. > :47:14.partner that has died from it. On that particular day, if I had had a

:47:15. > :47:18.Naloxone kit with me, she would probably still be here today.

:47:19. > :47:25.When you look back on your life, what was it that made you decide in

:47:26. > :47:30.the end to stop taking drugs? I kind of got to a point where I had just

:47:31. > :47:34.had enough, you know? You have to hit rock bottom. I got to a point

:47:35. > :47:41.where it was either using drugs was probably going to kill me, my life

:47:42. > :47:45.was just chaos, you know? I was sick of hurting other people. The thing

:47:46. > :47:50.with addiction, it is a family illness. It is not just about poor

:47:51. > :47:56.me, I am addicted to drugs. I never used to think about the impact that

:47:57. > :48:00.it would have on my family, my loved ones, people around me. And society

:48:01. > :48:05.in general. I didn't think about that stuff. I got to a point where I

:48:06. > :48:12.had just had enough. I wanted to change my life, I did not want to be

:48:13. > :48:16.that person any more, I wanted to become a better person. I just got

:48:17. > :48:23.sick of it, if I'm honest. Thank you, Carl and Stacey.

:49:06. > :49:09.That so many leaders came from around the world to bid

:49:10. > :49:13.farewell to Shimon is a testament to his optimism, his quest

:49:14. > :49:25.The people of Israel deeply appreciate the honour

:49:26. > :49:36.And the State to which he dedicated his life.

:49:37. > :49:48.He swept so many with his vision and his hope.

:49:49. > :50:11.But we find hope in his legacy, as does the world.

:50:12. > :50:14.President Obama paid tribute to Mr Peres' stature as both

:50:15. > :50:19.a defender of Israel and a maker of peace.

:50:20. > :50:22.He understood, in this war-torn region, where, too often, Arab

:50:23. > :50:30.youths are taught to hate Israel, from an early age.

:50:31. > :50:37.He understood just how hard peace would be.

:50:38. > :50:39.I am sure he was alternatively angry and

:50:40. > :50:46.bemused, to hear the same critics who called him hopelessly naive

:50:47. > :50:50.depend on the defence architecture that he himself had helped to build.

:50:51. > :51:06.But he understood, from hard-earned experience, that true security comes

:51:07. > :51:12.through making peace with your neighbours.

:51:13. > :51:15.We won them all, he said of Israel's wars, but we did not win

:51:43. > :51:45.born in 70s had at same age, a new report by the Institute

:51:46. > :51:51.The IFS says that today's thirty-something generation has

:51:52. > :51:53.missed out on house price increases and better pensions.

:51:54. > :51:56.Let's talk to Andrew Hood, who is an economist at the Institute

:51:57. > :52:02.of Economic Affairs and one of the authors of the report.

:52:03. > :52:10.Thank you very much for joining us. It is a very short difference in

:52:11. > :52:15.terms of age for a huge difference in terms of wealth. How has that

:52:16. > :52:19.happened? Because there has been a sharp fall in the homeownership

:52:20. > :52:24.rate. Looking at those born in the early 1980s, at the age of 30, 40%

:52:25. > :52:30.owned their own home, compared to more than 55% of those born in the

:52:31. > :52:35.1970s. That figure is more than 55% for those born in the 40s, 50s and

:52:36. > :52:40.60 's. Will the trend continue at this sort of rate? I don't know

:52:41. > :52:45.about this sort of rate, but as long as house prices continue to rise

:52:46. > :52:50.faster than earnings, as they have over the past decade and beyond, it

:52:51. > :52:54.is likely that that home ownership trend we are seeing across

:52:55. > :52:58.generations is likely to continue. That is partly because it is not

:52:59. > :53:02.about the fact that people can't afford the mortgage is, they can't

:53:03. > :53:06.afford the deposits. It is quite a tight snapshot over a

:53:07. > :53:10.short time frame. Would you expect that to change or will this be a

:53:11. > :53:17.moment looked back on as the moment weather was a big divide?

:53:18. > :53:21.Taking a longer view, the issue is not just the wealth that those in

:53:22. > :53:26.their 30s have now, it is how they will build up as they move towards

:53:27. > :53:30.retirement. Not only do they own fewer homes, meaning they have less

:53:31. > :53:35.wealth now, they will not benefit to the same extent from future house

:53:36. > :53:39.price increases. On top of that, you have the fact that generous company

:53:40. > :53:43.pensions in the private sector are much less available to those

:53:44. > :53:50.currently in their 30s to those that win their 30s 20 ago.

:53:51. > :53:55.Rolling forward, people will own their houses, it is just who and

:53:56. > :54:00.where they are concentrated? Can you evaluate what you think the future

:54:01. > :54:05.trends would be? The houses that are older generations and the current

:54:06. > :54:11.retired population hold will have to go to somebody. The question is who.

:54:12. > :54:14.That is where this difference in inequality between generations might

:56:36. > :56:40.Antwerp. He committed suicide in 1890. If you have broken into the

:56:41. > :56:48.Van Gogh Museum, you get your pick of Van Goghs, why those two? I'm

:56:49. > :56:52.afraid I don't know the answer. Are they particularly significant? They

:57:36. > :57:40.back to the museum? Yes, but we do not know when. Presumably with
