President Robert Mugabe ignores
today's deadline for him to resign. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:13 | |
More protests on the streets,
as moves begin to impeach | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
the President, who's led the country

meets its conditions. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:33 | |

Good afternoon and welcome
to the BBC News at One. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
The deadline set by Zimbabwe's
ruling party for President Robert | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
Mugabe to resign passed this morning
with no response from | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
the head of state. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
His party, Zanu-PF, has now begun
discussing the impeachment | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
of the embattled leader,
calling him a "source | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
of instability", and blaming him
for the country's economic problems. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:58 | |
In a speech to the nation last
night, Mr Mugabe defied expectations | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
and made it clear he had no
intention of stepping down, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
despite intervention
from the military last week. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:05 | |
Ben Brown is in
the capital, Harare. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:11 | |
When Robert Mugabe went on
television last night with that | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
address, there was a real
expectation across the country that | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
he was going to resign and when he
didn't there was shock and | 0:02:23 | 0:02:28 | |
disbelief, and real anger as well.
Today Zanu-PF, his party which has | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
already sacked him as leader, is
launching impeachment proceedings | 0:02:32 | 0:02:37 | |
against him. They will need a two
thirds majority in both houses of | 0:02:37 | 0:02:42 | |
the parliament behind me, but one MP
has said that will take weeks or | 0:02:42 | 0:02:48 | |
months and even then it might not be
successful. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:53 | |
The next age of the battle is set,
Robert Mugabe is on one side and his | 0:02:53 | 0:02:59 | |
party on the other. I will preside
over... Last night he didn't step | 0:02:59 | 0:03:06 | |
down as expected. Party leaders had
given him until today to do so. The | 0:03:06 | 0:03:12 | |
midday deadline to resign has come
and gone. The Zanu-PF party is | 0:03:12 | 0:03:17 | |
planning to put the final wheels in
motion, it has summoned its | 0:03:17 | 0:03:22 | |
lawmakers to the Zanu-PF
headquarters behind me to discuss a | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
possible impeachment. The process
will then move to Parliament with -- | 0:03:26 | 0:03:32 | |
where the constitution says a two
thirds majority will be needed to | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
remove the leader. Lawmakers can
cite misconduct, violating the | 0:03:36 | 0:03:41 | |
constitution or mental or physical
incapacity as grounds for dismissal. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
But it's not clear how long the
process will take and this president | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
doesn't appear to be in the mood to
play ball. It depends how fast it | 0:03:49 | 0:03:56 | |
moves, it could take days or months,
but the beauty is it's a process | 0:03:56 | 0:04:02 | |
that has provided the constitution
in section 97 so I think it is now | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
the only hope for the country that
the president is removed in terms of | 0:04:05 | 0:04:10 | |
that section of the constitution.
Unprecedented waves of protest | 0:04:10 | 0:04:16 | |
across the country have failed to
persuade the only leader of this | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
country has known to go. And they
continue to spread. Students at the | 0:04:20 | 0:04:28 | |
main university are now boycotting
their exams. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:39 | |
We are sick and tired, we want him
to resign. We want change. The | 0:04:41 | 0:04:47 | |
constitution should change, the
parliament should change. And the | 0:04:47 | 0:04:52 | |
war veterans say they will escalate
their protests this week. Mugabe, go | 0:04:52 | 0:04:59 | |
now, go now. Your time is up, please
leave the house and let the country | 0:04:59 | 0:05:05 | |
start on a new page. It's been a
long week of events never witnessed | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
here before and the desire to at
least give the appearance of | 0:05:09 | 0:05:14 | |
removing him by the book is slowing
the process down, but finding the | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
quick resolution to this impasse may
prove very hard to find. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:27 | |
Over the weekend we saw a massive
demonstration against Robert Mugabe | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
here on the streets of Harare, tens
of thousands of people taking to the | 0:05:31 | 0:05:37 | |
streets, another huge demonstration
has been called for tomorrow. But Mr | 0:05:37 | 0:05:41 | |
Mugabe has shown he doesn't care
about pressure from his own party, | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
the army, and he doesn't care about
people Power either. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:50 | |
Ben Brown, thank you. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
The EU's chief Brexit negotiator,
Michel Barnier, has warned Britain | 0:05:53 | 0:05:55 | |
that it can't cherry pick parts
of the single market | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
it wants to keep. | 0:05:57 | 0:05:58 | |
But he said that Brussels was ready
to offer the UK the most | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |
ambitious free trade deal
if its terms are met. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
Theresa May is chairing a meeting
of senior Cabinet ministers | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
to discuss the size of the so-called
divorce bill - the money the UK | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
needs to pay to start trade talks. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 | |
Our Political Correspondent Eleanor
Garnier reports from Westminster. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:19 | |
Busy ahead of the budget on
Wednesday, highlighting the | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
Government's plans for investing in
technology and engineering but the | 0:06:23 | 0:06:27 | |
Prime Minister and the Chancellor
too know that Brexit is the backdrop | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
to everything. And it is the money,
the so-called Brexit bill that is | 0:06:31 | 0:06:37 | |
the sticking point in the
negotiations. We have been very | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
clear we will honour our commitments
but I want to see developing that | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
deep and special partnerships with
the European Union for the future | 0:06:43 | 0:06:48 | |
and I want to see us moving together
because a deal that is good for the | 0:06:48 | 0:06:52 | |
UK is a deal that's good for the
rest of the EU. The EU's chief | 0:06:52 | 0:06:58 | |
negotiator said the preference was
for an ambitious trade deal but only | 0:06:58 | 0:07:03 | |
if divorce issues get sorted. I'm
settling the accounts accurately, we | 0:07:03 | 0:07:09 | |
owe this to taxpayers as well as to
all those benefiting from EU funding | 0:07:09 | 0:07:15 | |
projects. But there was also a clear
message on sticking to the rules and | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
the free movement of goods, capital,
services and people. Those who claim | 0:07:19 | 0:07:26 | |
that the UK should cherry pick part
of the single market must stop this | 0:07:26 | 0:07:33 | |
contradiction. The two sides have
been sitting down to negotiations | 0:07:33 | 0:07:38 | |
for months with no major
breakthroughs. There's increasing | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
pressure from Brussels for the UK to
come up with solutions, and back | 0:07:41 | 0:07:45 | |
here calls on the Chancellor to
watch how he spends taxpayers' | 0:07:45 | 0:07:50 | |
money. He cannot afford play Santa
Claus to Jean-Claude Juncker and | 0:07:50 | 0:07:56 | |
Donald Tusk, a needs to make sure we
are paying for what we are | 0:07:56 | 0:08:01 | |
absolutely contracted for, and for
every pound he unnecessarily gives | 0:08:01 | 0:08:05 | |
away to the European Union is a
pound not being spent on British | 0:08:05 | 0:08:10 | |
public services. When Theresa May
and senior ministers meet later to | 0:08:10 | 0:08:14 | |
discuss the size of the Brexit bill,
they will know agreeing to pay more | 0:08:14 | 0:08:19 | |
will quicken the talks but also
caused anger amongst some. Getting | 0:08:19 | 0:08:25 | |
agreement within cabinet is crucial
and as EU leaders keep pointing out, | 0:08:25 | 0:08:29 | |
the clock is ticking. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
In a moment, we'll speak
to our Assistant Political Editor | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
Norman Smith in Westminster,
but first, to Brussels | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
and our Europe Correspondent
Damian Grammaticas. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:42 | |
Damian, what is the message the EU
negotiator Michel Barnier is trying | 0:08:42 | 0:08:47 | |
to send? I think it's very
interesting, the speech this morning | 0:08:47 | 0:08:51 | |
clearly comes within the context of
the things you are hearing in the | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
debate in the UK. The highlight at
the top, Michel Barnier saying the | 0:08:55 | 0:09:00 | |
EU wants the most ambitious free
trade agreement with the UK but to | 0:09:00 | 0:09:04 | |
achieve that his speech went on to
lay out conditions, and of course we | 0:09:04 | 0:09:08 | |
all know about the exit agreement,
dealing with things like money. He | 0:09:08 | 0:09:14 | |
moved on quickly from that, the
speech was all about Michel Barnier | 0:09:14 | 0:09:20 | |
point in the UK towards difficult
choices that the EU believes the UK | 0:09:20 | 0:09:24 | |
has to make to move things forward.
Ireland, he pointed to that, he said | 0:09:24 | 0:09:30 | |
the UK has said it would apply some
EU rules in Ireland but what rules? | 0:09:30 | 0:09:36 | |
What is the UK willing to commit to
prevent a hard border? They want the | 0:09:36 | 0:09:42 | |
UK to focus on the question of
Ireland. And participation or access | 0:09:42 | 0:09:48 | |
to the single market, he said that
would depend on how much the UK | 0:09:48 | 0:09:52 | |
sought to divert in the future
because he said the legal | 0:09:52 | 0:09:56 | |
consequence of Brexit is that the UK
is quitting the single market, and | 0:09:56 | 0:10:01 | |
UK banks will lose their access. He
said the further the UK diverges, | 0:10:01 | 0:10:06 | |
the harder it will be to get a deal
that gives the UK good access to the | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
single market in the future. Norman,
all of this as Theresa May appears | 0:10:10 | 0:10:18 | |
poised to pay a bigger divorce Bill,
how likely is that to happen? All of | 0:10:18 | 0:10:24 | |
the signs are that Theresa May will
agree to a bigger bill, certainly | 0:10:24 | 0:10:29 | |
than the £18 billion floated by Mrs
May in Florence and that's because | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
they know they have to put more cash
on the table if the EU will move | 0:10:33 | 0:10:39 | |
onto crucial trade talks. The extra
cash will come with strings, so | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
there's likely to be an insistence
this money is only for past bills | 0:10:42 | 0:10:48 | |
signed up for, not ongoing EU
commitments, but they will also want | 0:10:48 | 0:10:52 | |
an assurance the EU will move onto
trade talks. In other words they | 0:10:52 | 0:10:56 | |
will not take the cash, put it in
their back pockets and say how about | 0:10:56 | 0:11:01 | |
more money. But the risk is of a
significant backlash from a public | 0:11:01 | 0:11:06 | |
who were told during the referendum
campaign that we were going to get | 0:11:06 | 0:11:11 | |
£350 million per week for the NHS.
Instead we are having to hand over | 0:11:11 | 0:11:16 | |
billions as part of a divorce Bill.
Already we have heard from Tory MPs | 0:11:16 | 0:11:21 | |
saying we have got to have an
itemised list of why we are having | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
to spend all of this money, and this
in the week of the Budget when the | 0:11:24 | 0:11:31 | |
Chancellor is under massive pressure
to ease off on austerity. I doubt we | 0:11:31 | 0:11:35 | |
will get a fixed figure of how much
we are prepared to pay today or any | 0:11:35 | 0:11:41 | |
time soon, more likely though a nod
and a wink to Brussels that down the | 0:11:41 | 0:11:45 | |
line, yes, we are ready to pay more
and maybe a lot more. Norman, thank | 0:11:45 | 0:11:51 | |
you. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:53 | |
Meanwhile, the European Union
will decide this evening | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
where two major EU agencies,
currently based in London, | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
will be relocated after Brexit. | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
19 cities are bidding
for the European Medicines Agency, | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
while eight want to host
the European Banking Authority. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
More than 1,000 people work
for the two agencies. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
Our Business Correspondent Theo
Leggett has the details. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:17 | |
London's Canary Wharf is home to
some of the worlds biggest banks and | 0:12:17 | 0:12:22 | |
two prestigious EU agencies, the UK
banking authority which monitors the | 0:12:22 | 0:12:27 | |
health of the region 's biggest
banks and the European Medicines | 0:12:27 | 0:12:31 | |
Agency which supervises drugs used
on humans and animals. But now we | 0:12:31 | 0:12:35 | |
are leaving the EU, both
organisations will have to move and | 0:12:35 | 0:12:39 | |
today they will find out where they
are going. Two dozen cities are | 0:12:39 | 0:12:44 | |
scrambling to host them. The
European Commission says the | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
agencies employ about 1100 people,
many well-paid, but they also | 0:12:47 | 0:12:52 | |
attract many business visitors for
meetings, conferences and expert | 0:12:52 | 0:12:57 | |
panels. Between them they book about
40,000 hotel rooms per year. The UK | 0:12:57 | 0:13:02 | |
will lose 1100 good jobs of
regulators who spend money in the | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
capital but there is more to it than
that. Having a regulator creates a | 0:13:06 | 0:13:11 | |
halo effect because lots of American
and Japanese businesses set up shop | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
in London because they want their
staff to be close to the regulator | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
so they can help its decisions.
It is a similar story in the banking | 0:13:18 | 0:13:25 | |
sector, the European Banking
Authority may be a relatively small | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
agency but it wields a lot of
influence. It tells us a lot about | 0:13:28 | 0:13:34 | |
where the Europeans once their
financial centre to be, and secondly | 0:13:34 | 0:13:39 | |
there is a whole ecosystem that's
built up around the banking | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
authority here in London. Will that
move as well? Quite possibly there | 0:13:42 | 0:13:47 | |
are more jobs that will move with
retail banks moving to follow the | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
regulator. The result has been a
kind of beauty parade with cities | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
across Europe setting out their
stalls. They have to provide | 0:13:55 | 0:14:00 | |
offices, good transport links and
hundreds of school places. Bucharest | 0:14:00 | 0:14:08 | |
is... And they have been offering
extra perks such as subsidised rent, | 0:14:08 | 0:14:13 | |
language lessons and free visits to
the zoo. Even heads of government | 0:14:13 | 0:14:17 | |
have been helping with the hard
sell. Other EU members may not | 0:14:17 | 0:14:23 | |
necessarily be keen on Britain's
departure but they are happy to pick | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
up benefits where they can. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
The German Chancellor Angela
Merkel's attempts to form | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
a coalition government have
collapsed, raising the prospect | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
of the country facing
another general election. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:40 | |
After weeks of negotiations,
the centrist Free Democrats - | 0:14:40 | 0:14:42 | |
the FDP - pulled out of talks,
with its leader saying there was no | 0:14:42 | 0:14:45 | |
basis of trust between the parties. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:46 | |
Mrs Merkel has been meeting
the German President this morning. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:49 | |
Damien McGuinness is in Berlin. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:55 | |
What does this now mean
for Angela Merkel and for Germany? | 0:14:55 | 0:14:59 | |
It is certainly a blow for Angela
Merkel because she was responsible | 0:14:59 | 0:15:05 | |
really as the potential Chancellor
of making these coalition talks | 0:15:05 | 0:15:09 | |
work. Some people say it will be
hard for her to survive politically | 0:15:09 | 0:15:13 | |
which means this will be the end of
the Merkel era, unexpectedly sooner | 0:15:13 | 0:15:18 | |
than thought, but it depends how the
public reacts to this breakdown in | 0:15:18 | 0:15:23 | |
the coalition talks because the
recriminations are already starting | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
and this morning most German
commentators seem to be blaming the | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
liberal SDP party, the ones who
walked out of the talks, for the | 0:15:30 | 0:15:35 | |
breakdown -- FDP. If there is a
backlash, Angela Merkel could be | 0:15:35 | 0:15:42 | |
strengthened because often when
things get rocky, either abroad or | 0:15:42 | 0:15:47 | |
domestically, she is often seen as
an anchor of stability so she could | 0:15:47 | 0:15:51 | |
even emerge stronger from this. What
is clear is that we will see a | 0:15:51 | 0:15:56 | |
period of political instability in
Germany because none of the options | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
going forward for the new government
are good. We either have a minority | 0:15:59 | 0:16:07 | |
government, fresh elections, and
they would mean months before the | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
next elections take place and this
would lead her effectively in | 0:16:09 | 0:16:13 | |
political limbo which could have a
big impact on the German economy. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:17 | |
Damien, thank you. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
The former Wimbledon singles
champion Jana Novotna has died | 0:16:19 | 0:16:21 | |
of cancer at the age of 49. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
The Czech tennis player won
the Championship in 1998, | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
after losing five years earlier
to Steffi Graf in a memorable match. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:29 | |
Ms Novotna, who also had
an outstanding doubles | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
career, has been described
by the Women's Tennis Association | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
as an inspiration. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
Our sports correspondent David
Ornstein looks back at her life. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
It is one of Wimbledon's most
enduring images. Jana Novotna may | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
have lost the final at she got a
shoulder to cry on from the Duchess | 0:16:48 | 0:16:57 | |
of Kent and the hearts of the
British public. She just told me, | 0:16:57 | 0:17:03 | |
you will do it. I believe one day
you will do it. And I just became | 0:17:03 | 0:17:08 | |
very emotional. It was very nice. I
appreciated it. Novotna finished | 0:17:08 | 0:17:17 | |
runner-up again but a year later she
finally won the trophy. News of her | 0:17:17 | 0:17:25 | |
death has been met with a mixture of
shock and an outpouring of tributes. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:33 | |
I can only describe her as a
ruthless competitor on the court but | 0:17:33 | 0:17:38 | |
utterly sweet and charming of it.
She was such a warm person, always | 0:17:38 | 0:17:42 | |
very friendly. She would come up and
give you kisses and smile, she was | 0:17:42 | 0:17:49 | |
really loved by everyone. She rose
to prominence in the early 90s and | 0:17:49 | 0:17:54 | |
went on to become one of the most
exciting, popular and successful | 0:17:54 | 0:18:00 | |
players of regeneration. Wimbledon
was her only grand slam singles | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
title but she collected 16 in
doubles and 100 tournament wins | 0:18:04 | 0:18:09 | |
across a glittering career, laying
her way into the International | 0:18:09 | 0:18:13 | |
tennis Hall of Fame. She was back on
the lawns of Wimbledon as recently | 0:18:13 | 0:18:20 | |
as 2016, rolling back the years in
the invitational mixed doubles. But | 0:18:20 | 0:18:25 | |
Jana Novotna will always be
remembered for the tears and then | 0:18:25 | 0:18:28 | |
the triumph, refusing to let the
setbacks keep her down, eventually | 0:18:28 | 0:18:32 | |
coming back on top and writing her
name into history with a smile. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:36 | |
Jana Novotna, who has died at the
age of 49. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |

And coming up, a change in culture -
the new head of UK Sport calls | 0:18:52 | 0:18:56 | |
for more to be done to improve
the welfare of top-level athletes. | 0:18:56 | 0:19:05 | |
In sport, the cricketers relax ahead
of the Ashes Test. Jake Ball | 0:19:07 | 0:19:13 | |

The notorious cult leader
Charles Manson, who directed his | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
followers to commit a string
of brutal murders, has died aged 83. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:27 | |
He'd been in prison in California
for more than four decades. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:32 | |
In 1969, his followers,
known as the Manson family, | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
killed seven people. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
Among them was the heavily pregnant
Hollywood actress Sharon Tate, | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
the wife of Roman Polanski. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
James Cook reports from Los Angeles. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
Charles Manson. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:46 | |
The name itself is
synonymous with evil. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:48 | |
A killer who did no
killing but whose crimes | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
shocked the world. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:54 | |
In August 1969, followers
of his cult broke into the | 0:19:54 | 0:19:59 | |
home of Sharon Tate. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:01 | |
The pregnant actress,
who was married to the director | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
Roman Polanski, was brutally
murdered along with four of her | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
friends. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:06 | |
The next night, the so-called
Manson family killed | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
again, tying up and murdering
a wealthy couple. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:13 | |
This was the ramshackle
ranch in Death Valley | 0:20:13 | 0:20:15 | |
where Manson lived in a commune
with his runaway fans. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:22 | |
They apparently used LSD
and saw the guitar playing | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
ex-convict as a kind of saint. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
Or perhaps a devil. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
Charles Manson was charged,
not with wielding a knife | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
or firing a gun, but with
controlling and directing the | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
killers. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:39 | |
I don't accept the court,
I don't accept the whole situation. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
I was in the desert
minding my business. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:43 | |
This confusion belongs to you. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:47 | |
It is your confusion. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:48 | |
I don't have any guilt,
I know what I've | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
done. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:51 | |
No man can judge me. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
I can judge me. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:54 | |
What have you done, Charlie? | 0:20:54 | 0:20:55 | |
Why had he done it? | 0:20:55 | 0:20:56 | |
Apparently to spark
a race war, it would be | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
called Helter Skelter,
and | 0:20:58 | 0:20:59 | |
he would use it to seize power. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:04 | |
In 1971, he was
sentenced to death on | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
seven counts of murder,
later commuted to life in prison. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:14 | |
Over the years, Charles
Manson applied for | 0:21:14 | 0:21:16 | |
parole time and time again, but he
died a prisoner, having shattered | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
the peace and love of the 1960s
with diabolical violence. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:29 | |
The owner of British Gas, Centrica,
has announced it will scrap standard | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
gas and electricity tariffs
for new customers. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
It claims this is part of a series
of measures which will be | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
significantly more effective
than the government's proposed | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
cap on energy bills. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:44 | |
Our Business Correspondent
Simon Gompertz is here. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:50 | |
What difference is this likely to
make? Two thirds of gas and | 0:21:50 | 0:21:56 | |
electricity customers are on what we
call standard variable tariffs. | 0:21:56 | 0:22:02 | |
These are the tariffs the Prime
Minister last month condemned as | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
rip-off prices and promised that
there would be a price coming in. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:10 | |
What British Gas and Centrica are
seeing is there's a better way, but | 0:22:10 | 0:22:15 | |
they will start phasing it out from
next spring. If they come to the end | 0:22:15 | 0:22:24 | |
of a fixed-rate deal but will not be
put on the expensive one as they | 0:22:24 | 0:22:28 | |
have up until now. They say there is
not a catch. Some people might be | 0:22:28 | 0:22:36 | |
suspicious. It will be difficult to
negotiate this. They will need to be | 0:22:36 | 0:22:44 | |
more wary. The other thing they've
said is £200 should be taken off the | 0:22:44 | 0:22:50 | |
average bill. How do they get that
number? Adding together the cost of | 0:22:50 | 0:22:56 | |
subsidising renewable energy,
putting high-tech smart meters in, | 0:22:56 | 0:23:02 | |
subsidising the bills of people on
low incomes. People say that should | 0:23:02 | 0:23:09 | |
come out of taxation because it is
government policy. The company is | 0:23:09 | 0:23:14 | |
trying to put out it is not them
responsible for all of the expensive | 0:23:14 | 0:23:19 | |
bills. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
A BBC investigation has uncovered
claims of child abuse | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
within the Jehovah's Witness
organisation, and there are fears | 0:23:25 | 0:23:27 | |
the Church's own rules could be
protecting alleged perpetrators. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:29 | |
Some experts believe the problem
could be widespread, | 0:23:29 | 0:23:31 | |
and the Charity Commission has now
launched an inquiry. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
Felicity Kvesic reports. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:40 | |
Louise Palmer from Halesowen
was just four years old when her | 0:23:40 | 0:23:42 | |
brother started sexually assaulting
and raping her. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:44 | |
She's waived her right
to anonymity to tell her story. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:48 | |
It just felt normal. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:49 | |
Growing up I thought that's
what you did with your brother, | 0:23:49 | 0:23:52 | |
that's what happened. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:56 | |
They had been born into
the Jehovah's Witness faith, | 0:23:56 | 0:23:58 | |
an organisation that preaches
kindness and unity. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
She feels let down by them
after they told her not to go | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
to the police when she revealed
the years of abuse. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:05 | |
I asked them, "What should I do? | 0:24:05 | 0:24:07 | |
Do you report it to the police?
Do I report it to the police?" | 0:24:07 | 0:24:14 | |
And their words were
that they strongly advised me | 0:24:14 | 0:24:17 | |
not to go to the police because it
would bring reproach on Jehovah. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:20 | |
Louise's brother Richard Davenport
was found guilty in 2015 | 0:24:20 | 0:24:22 | |
and is serving a 10-year sentence
for rape and abuse. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:25 | |
She wants the Jehovah's Witnesses to
rethink their protection policies. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:30 | |
I believe children aren't safe. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
Safeguarding policies
need to be updated. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:37 | |
No child is ever going to feel
like they can come forward, | 0:24:37 | 0:24:40 | |
and they're not going to be
supported if they come | 0:24:40 | 0:24:43 | |
forward either. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:46 | |
In 2013 the Charity Commission
started a statutory inquiry | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
into the organisation known
as the Watchtower Bible | 0:24:48 | 0:24:50 | |
and Tract Society after
safeguarding issues. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:52 | |
The inquiry is still ongoing
and an MP says he wants reassurances | 0:24:52 | 0:24:54 | |
that safeguarding is top
of the agenda. | 0:24:54 | 0:25:01 | |
People must be free to practise
their religion and we don't | 0:25:01 | 0:25:04 | |
want to intrude upon that
but if it is established | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
on the basis of a rigorous inquiry
that something is going badly wrong, | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
that is going to have to be ripped
out root and branch. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
I tried to speak to some elders
at several Kingdom Halls | 0:25:13 | 0:25:15 | |
across the West Midlands. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
Their phones either rang
out or they referred me | 0:25:17 | 0:25:19 | |
to the Watchtower in London,
which is their headquarters. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:21 | |
The Watchtower refused to put
anybody up for interview. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:23 | |
Instead they've given
me a statement... | 0:25:23 | 0:25:26 | |
For Louise, a survivor of years
of abuse, the message is simple - | 0:25:34 | 0:25:38 | |
don't stay silent, tell the police. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:44 | |
Three people arrested in connection
with the disappearance of Gaia Pope | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
have been released from the police
investigation without | 0:25:53 | 0:25:55 | |
any further action. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:56 | |
The 19-year-old's body was found
on Saturday in a field near Swanage, | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
11 days after she was last seen. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:00 | |
Dorset Police are treating her death
as "unexplained" pending | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
toxicology results. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:09 | |
The new chair of UK
Sport Dame Katherine Grainger, | 0:26:09 | 0:26:11 | |
has called for "a lot more" to be
done to improve the | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
welfare of athletes. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:15 | |
Several governing bodies
are embroiled in bullying | 0:26:15 | 0:26:18 | |
allegations, and Dame Katherine,
an Olympic rowing gold medallist, | 0:26:18 | 0:26:22 | |
says they must "rise
to the challenge" of improving | 0:26:22 | 0:26:25 | |
the culture in top level sport. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:26 | |
UK Sport is issuing new guidance
to coaches on how to treat | 0:26:26 | 0:26:29 | |
athletes with respect,
as Richard Conway reports. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:35 | |
It has been an era of unprecedented
success for British sport but with | 0:26:35 | 0:26:41 | |
complaints and enquiries under way
within a number the UK's leading | 0:26:41 | 0:26:47 | |
sports federations, many are asking
if winning has been prioritised over | 0:26:47 | 0:26:49 | |
welfare. In response, Dame Katherine
Grainger, who cheers UK sport, the | 0:26:49 | 0:27:00 | |
funding authority for elite
athletes, is urging them to improve. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:06 | |
Nobody believes it should be medals
at any cost. There is an | 0:27:06 | 0:27:11 | |
understanding that the healthiest
atmosphere you can have, to keep | 0:27:11 | 0:27:16 | |
people in the system, you want them
succeeding and being pushed hard but | 0:27:16 | 0:27:20 | |
also, you need to enjoy it, you need
to be passionate about it. British | 0:27:20 | 0:27:26 | |
gymnastics is the latest body to be
dragged into the crisis after care | 0:27:26 | 0:27:31 | |
standards were questions at other
organisations. Change cannot come | 0:27:31 | 0:27:41 | |
soon enough for those who say
they've experienced a culture of | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
bullying. For us there was no one to
talk to. You fear that if you speak | 0:27:43 | 0:27:54 | |
up you're going to be kicked off the
team. There needs to be something or | 0:27:54 | 0:28:00 | |
someone we can speak to, with no
repercussions, who will have her | 0:28:00 | 0:28:04 | |
back. UK sport has now released new
guidance to help sports such as | 0:28:04 | 0:28:10 | |
Britain's hugely successful cycling
team. It includes advice to coaches | 0:28:10 | 0:28:14 | |
on how to treat athletes with more
respect. The hope is that a greater | 0:28:14 | 0:28:20 | |
focus on welfare can forge a new
winning combination. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:25 | |
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh
are today celebrating their 70th | 0:28:25 | 0:28:28 | |
wedding anniversary -
the longest in the royal | 0:28:28 | 0:28:30 | |
family's history. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:31 | |
They are marking the occasion
privately with family | 0:28:31 | 0:28:33 | |
and friends at Windsor Castle. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:34 | |
The church bells are
ringing out this lunchtime | 0:28:34 | 0:28:36 | |
at Westminster Abbey,
where the Queen and Prince | 0:28:36 | 0:28:38 | |
Philip were married. | 0:28:38 | 0:28:39 | |
Our royal correspondent
Nicholas Witchell reports. | 0:28:39 | 0:28:43 | |
ARCHIVE NEWSREADER: For any girl,
wedding day is the day of her life. | 0:28:43 | 0:28:46 | |
As the 21-year-old princess arrived
at Westminster Abbey, | 0:28:46 | 0:28:48 | |
it was her moment too. | 0:28:48 | 0:28:52 | |
A November day two years after
the end of the Second World War. | 0:28:52 | 0:28:55 | |
At Westminster Abbey a wedding
of the then Princess Elizabeth | 0:28:55 | 0:28:58 | |
and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten. | 0:28:58 | 0:29:01 | |
And now the solemn service begins. | 0:29:01 | 0:29:04 | |
I, Elizabeth Alexandra Mary... | 0:29:09 | 0:29:11 | |
Take thee, Philip... | 0:29:11 | 0:29:12 | |
Take thee, Philip... | 0:29:12 | 0:29:14 | |
To my wedded husband. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:15 | |
To my wedded husband. | 0:29:15 | 0:29:18 | |
BAND PLAYS THE WEDDING MARCH. | 0:29:18 | 0:29:25 | |
It was the start of a marriage
which has endured for 70 years | 0:29:25 | 0:29:28 | |
and which from the moment Elizabeth
came to the throne in 1952 has | 0:29:28 | 0:29:31 | |
underpinned the success
and stability of her reign as Queen. | 0:29:31 | 0:29:35 | |
Those who know them have no doubt
that the bride and groom who signed | 0:29:35 | 0:29:39 | |
the marriage register that day
at the Abbey were deeply | 0:29:39 | 0:29:41 | |
committed to each other. | 0:29:41 | 0:29:44 | |
Obviously they were
very much in love. | 0:29:44 | 0:29:47 | |
It's early love, as far
as I can understand, | 0:29:47 | 0:29:51 | |
so it's a love match,
essentially, it's | 0:29:51 | 0:29:53 | |
a great love story. | 0:29:53 | 0:29:54 | |
Deeply loyal sense of duty,
which is bolstered and encouraged | 0:29:54 | 0:29:59 | |
and uplifted, as it were,
by their faith. | 0:29:59 | 0:30:02 | |
The early years of the Queen's
reign were not without | 0:30:02 | 0:30:04 | |
difficulty for the Duke. | 0:30:04 | 0:30:06 | |
He felt he had no clear purpose,
but he adapted to the role | 0:30:06 | 0:30:10 | |
of consort to the monarch
and for decade after decade | 0:30:10 | 0:30:15 | |
they toured the world and fulfilled
official duties together, | 0:30:15 | 0:30:17 | |
a couple so much of whose
lives have been public, | 0:30:17 | 0:30:19 | |
sustained by the private bond
between them which remains strong | 0:30:19 | 0:30:23 | |
and deep, as the latest photographs,
issued to mark their platinum | 0:30:23 | 0:30:27 | |
wedding anniversary, make clear. | 0:30:27 | 0:30:33 | |
At Westminster Abbey
bells are being rung | 0:30:33 | 0:30:35 | |
to mark the anniversary. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:35 | |
As for the couple themselves,
they are spending the day | 0:30:35 | 0:30:38 | |
quietly at Westminster,
where there will be a quiet family | 0:30:38 | 0:30:41 | |
party in their honour tonight. | 0:30:41 | 0:30:45 | |
Time for a | 0:30:49 | 0:30:50 | |
Time for a look at the weather. I'm
sure you will have noticed a change | 0:30:50 | 0:30:56 | |
in the feel of the weather. Rewind
to yesterday morning and many of us | 0:30:56 | 0:31:00 | |
started the day like this, with a
touch of frost and temperatures | 0:31:00 | 0:31:04 | |
below freezing. This morning was
completely different. If you dressed | 0:31:04 | 0:31:08 | |
for cold weather you probably
regretted it because some of us were | 0:31:08 | 0:31:11 | |
in single digits by the rush hour,
but with that, some cloud and | 0:31:11 | 0:31:16 | |
outbreaks of rain. There are
conveyor belts of clothes streaming | 0:31:16 | 0:31:19 | |
in from the Atlantic which will
continue to bring outbreaks of rain | 0:31:19 | 0:31:22 | |
at times throughout this week. It is
all about this mild air wafting up | 0:31:22 | 0:31:27 | |
from the south-west. Something
colder is holding on. Most of us | 0:31:27 | 0:31:34 | |
cloudy with patchy rain, some
brightness for Wales and the | 0:31:34 | 0:31:39 | |
Midlands but most places will not
see any of that. Still a little bit | 0:31:39 | 0:31:43 | |
colder across Scotland, in fact
three degrees is the afternoon high. | 0:31:43 | 0:31:48 | |
As we grow through the ceiling and
tonight it will stay cloudy. Some | 0:31:48 | 0:31:54 | |
heavy rain for Northern Ireland,
southern Scotland and northern | 0:31:54 | 0:31:58 | |
Scotland. Everywhere else, mild.
Very mild across southern areas. | 0:31:58 | 0:32:11 | |
Elsewhere, wet start. Heavy bursts
of rain. Northern Ireland, largely | 0:32:11 | 0:32:15 | |
dry at this stage. Cloudy and damp
and murky for parts of northern | 0:32:15 | 0:32:20 | |
England. Look at these temperatures,
11, 12 degrees as we start off the | 0:32:20 | 0:32:28 | |
day. As we go on, we keep the feed
of mild south-westerly wind. The | 0:32:28 | 0:32:35 | |
rain is slowly trudging north. We
will see a batch of rain pushing in. | 0:32:35 | 0:32:40 | |
For central and eastern areas it
should stay dry for much of the day. | 0:32:40 | 0:32:44 | |
There's a chance of seeing some
glimmers brightness through the | 0:32:44 | 0:32:46 | |
cloud. It will be that bit colder
further north. Through Tuesday into | 0:32:46 | 0:32:53 | |
Wednesday we tried to lose this area
of low pressure but there's another | 0:32:53 | 0:32:56 | |
one hot on its heels and this
weather front threatens to bring | 0:32:56 | 0:32:59 | |
some heavy rain in places on
Wednesday. There could be some | 0:32:59 | 0:33:04 | |
issues. In the south-east, very
mild, quite windy. Further north and | 0:33:04 | 0:33:10 | |
west, single digit temperatures
across Scotland. As we head towards | 0:33:10 | 0:33:13 | |
the end of the week it looks like
the cold weather will stage a | 0:33:13 | 0:33:17 | |
comeback. There will be some jurors
at times but particularly across the | 0:33:17 | 0:33:23 | |
northern half it will turn colder
again by the end of the | 0:33:23 | 0:33:25 |
