Formula One bosses insist the race in Bahrain will go ahead, despite | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
protests and political pressure. Police use tear gas and stun | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
grenades in clashes with opposition groups. | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
But the preparations for Sunday's race continue, with the backing of | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
Bahrain's Crown Prince. Cancelling the race just empowers extremists. | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
I think for those of us who are trying to navigate a way out of | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
this political problem, having the race allows us to build bridges. | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
We will be reporting live from the Bahraini capital. | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
Also tonight: The parents wrongly accused of | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
murdering their baby. They tell the BBC of the long fight to prove | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
their innocence. It's been a horrible, horrible two and a half | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
years, to go through this knowing that we are completely innocent and | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
to find really the hospitals didn't really know what they were doing. | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
The Wales striker Ched Evans jailed for rape. The judge tells him he | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
has thrown away a promising career. And, by boat, by train, and running | :01:10. | :01:17. | |
in the rain. The so-called dry run for the Olympic torch relay. | :01:17. | :01:27. | |

Coming up in sport: Andy Murray Good evening, welcome to the BBC | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
News at Six. The Bahraini government and Formula One bosses | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
have insisted this weekend's Grand Prix will go ahead, despite renewed | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
clashes between security forces and anti-government protestors and | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
political pressure to call the race off. The Crown Prince of Bahrain | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
said that cancelling the race would play into the hands of extremists. | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
Activists have threatened to disrupt the race, although | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
authorities have guaranteed the security of those taking part. From | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
the Bahraini capital, Manama, Dan Roan reports. | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
This is not the image of burning rubber that Formula One organisers | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
will have hoped for. Tyres alight on a street in the capital. | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
Bahrain's three days of rage have begun. These are the first clashes | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
in a threatened escalation of protests to coincide with this | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
weekend's Grand Prix. Used to a build-up of a different | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
kind the F1 roadshow has rolled into the heat of the desert. Even | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
here the reality of this divided island is finally catching up with | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
those that run the sport. And today the Crown Prince of Bahrain and the | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
undisputed King of F1, Bernie Ecclestone, were forced to justify | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
the most controversial race in recent years. In Britain | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
politicians are calling for this race to be boycotted, Amnesty | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
International thinks it shouldn't go ahead, given those comments why | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
should this race continue? This race should continue because it is | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
indeed a very big event for this country. It's important | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
economically, socially. I genuinely believe that this race is a force | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
for good. It unites many people from many different religious | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
backgrounds, sects and ethnicities under the roof of Formula One. | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
is nothing to do with us what happens in the country, - we have | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
people in all sorts of countries. We are people in England that's | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
Conservative and Labour that don't agree always on things. So, that's | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
how it is, how the world is. Bahrain has been in turmoil since | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
last year. Many of the Shia majority calling for the dishraougs | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
of the monarchy and release of a prisoned activist on hunger strike. | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
I strongly believe that we need to use this event to promote awareness | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
of the problems facing the country, human rights on the one hand, and | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
political issues on the other. Meanwhile, the wheels keep turning | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
on the track. Two sessions of practice now completed. But there | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
is unease here, Force India cancelled this afternoon's practice | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
after personnel were caught up in a petrol bomb incident and members of | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
another team also witnessed trouble last night. Often teams have a | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
problem, lose a session, it's not the end of the world and we will | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
cope with it. The most important thing is that we are here to | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
support the Bahrain Grand Prix. We are We are totally committed to the | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
Grand Prix. There will be no backing off from our point of view. | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
F1 cars aren't used to going into reverse, and there's no sign of a | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
you-turn now, but the pressure to raise the red flag and abandon this | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
race for the second year in succession will only intensify. | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
Dan joins me from the circuit now. As we seen protesters are gathering | :04:51. | :04:58. | |
on the main highway, what more can you tell us? Well, if the Crown | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
Prince of Bahrain and Bernie Ecclestone hope their joint unified | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
and somewhat defiant statement here this afternoon would suppress calls | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
for a cancellation of this prestigious sporting spectacle, | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
they'll be disappointed. There are reports reaching us that tens of | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
thousands of protesters are marching along one of Bahrain's | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
highways towards the Pearl Roundabout, in the capital. That | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
was the point for last year's uprising. Eventually it appears | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
this protest today was dispersed by personnel from the military and | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
police using tear gas and stun grenades. But it only goes to show | :05:35. | :05:43. | |
why the mood here tonight in this paddock is tense. The drivers say | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
the right things publicly, but privately they'll rather be | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
somewhere else. For almost three years they've | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
battled to prove their innocence, charged with killing their baby son. | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
Now Rohan Wray and Chana Al-Alas have been acquitted after it was | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
found that their son's injuries were probably caused by him having | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
rickets. The couple are now calling for an inquiry into the two | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
hospitals responsible for Jayden's care. Today, they spoke to the BBC | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
in their only broadcast interview. Our health correspondent Branwen | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
Jeffreys reports. A young couple walking away from | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
court and from a legal and emotional ordeal. Wrongly accused | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
of the death of one baby, they've also had to fight to get their | :06:24. | :06:34. | |
:06:34. | :06:35. | ||
second child back. Jayden was Chana and Rohan's first baby. Fractures | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
were discovered. They found themselves facing a murder charge. | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
The fact that we know how much we love him, we love him so much and | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
the fact that we have been accused, the fact that this has happened is | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
the worst thing ever. Knowing that we are innocent and to be facing a | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
trial, not knowing what the outcome could be, is actually the scariest | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
thing I think anyone could ever go through. The death of Jayden was | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
the beginning of a legal nightmare. While they waited for the murder | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
trial, their second baby was taken into care, moments after birth. | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
was horrible really. I was thinking when am I going to see her again | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
after I have just given birth and I wasn't allowed to hold her. | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
wasn't there for the birth, I wasn't present through any of the | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
labour or anything like that. I couldn't be with her to support her | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
and I felt really terrible. Last year they were cleared of Jayden's | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
murder at court. Their daughter has now been returned to them after | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
another hearing. The judge said Jayden was a very much wanted baby. | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
A postmortem had found Jayden's rickets was extremely severe for a | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
child of his age. Rickets blighted some childhoods a few generations | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
ago. It almost disappeared but cases are now increasing. It's | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
caused by vitamin D and calcium deficiency. That can lead to | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
fragile or deformed bones. There's a greater risk with darker skin, it | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
reduces the vitamin D absorbed from sunshine. It's thought that up to | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
25% of people are vitamin D deficient, making it more important | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
rickets is recognised. It's essential that all doctors consider | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
it as one possible reason why a child's bones may fracture. There | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
are simple blood tests that one can measure that child's vitamin D | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
level and calcium level and other indicaters in the blood as to how | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
significant that vitamin D stke fish especially -- deficiency is as | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
one of the reasons bones may break. Two leading London hospitals missed | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
Jayden's rickets. University College and Great Ormond Street say | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
they regret the distress caused. Jayden's parents now want to | :08:42. | :08:51. | |
rebuild their family life. The trial of the Norwegian gunman | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
Anders Breivik has heard harrowing testimony about how he carried out | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
the massacre of scores of young people at an island youth camp last | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
July. Survivors and victims' relatives sobbed in court as the | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
killer spared no details about how he shot panicked teenagers at point | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
blank range, even as some pleaded for their lives or were paralysed | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
with fear. Our Europe correspondent Matthew Price was in court. Some | :09:10. | :09:18. | |
may find his report upsetting. The atmosphere at court changed | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
today as a country braced itself, though few could imagine what was | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
to come. Throughout it's been Breivik's | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
detachment, his cold, unemotional responses that have been most | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
disturbing. Today, he talked us through his killing spree as if he | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
were describing a day at work. Under normal circumstances I am a | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
night person, he said. -- nice person, he said. As he reached the | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
island and prepared for the massacre, I was thinking, I don't | :09:47. | :09:56. | |
want to do this. Then I thought, this is now or never. | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
He killed 67 on the island. Two others drowned trying to escape. | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
Inside the courtroom Anders Breivik took us through a moment by moment | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
account of what he did, from one victim to the next. It was for many | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
exceedingly difficult to listen to, but impossible to ignore. It was | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
horrific. At one point he said people were paralysed with fear in | :10:21. | :10:31. | |
:10:31. | :10:33. | ||
He tricked people, asking if they had seen the terrorist. Some looked | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
sceptical, while some moved towards me. When they got closer, I lifted | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
the gun and shot the first one in the head. | :10:41. | :10:48. | |
Many who survived his attacks left the courtroom in shock. It's really | :10:48. | :10:57. | |
hard and I want to get angry with him, but I just... Just feel empty, | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
emptiness inside me. I really can't explain the feeling. Norway's | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
newspapers choose today not to put the trial on the front page. Some | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
want to hear no more from Breivik, for others it's important he speaks. | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
I think it's necessary. Necessary for my daughter, it's necessary for | :11:15. | :11:22. | |
me. I think it's necessary for Norway to hear and to learn. | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
nine more anguished weeks they will pick apart what happened here and | :11:27. | :11:37. | |
:11:37. | :11:38. | ||
throughout they will be haunted by the man in the dock. | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, says the UK is | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
willing to make a loan of slightly less than �10 billion to the | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
International Monetary Fund. The size of the loan means Mr Osborne | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
won't need it to be rubber-stamped by Parliament and comes on top of | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
previous funds already committed to the IMF. | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
Retail sales for last month are up, boosted, in part, by panic buying | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
at the petrol pump last month. The figures rose by 1.8% and the price | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
of petrol is continuing to rise. New figures suggest refilling the | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
average car's 50-litre tank now costs more than the average | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
family's weekly food bill. Our correspondent Danny Savage reports | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
from West Yorkshire. Yet again the average price of | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
petrol has hit a new high. With diesel just short of its record | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
price set a week ago. Prices are at such a high that many families are | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
now spending more on petrol than food. The average weekly food bill | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
for a family with two children is �70.10. But the average petrol bill | :12:35. | :12:43. | |
to fill a 50-litre tank is now around �71.24. Jenny and Alan, who | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
have two young children, are just one couple feeling the squeeze. | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
much have you spent? �98 today. This shopping cost almost the same | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
as they spend each week on filling up their two cars. We don't use the | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
car as much. We try to use public transport, but it's still too dear. | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
And we don't go as far. We don't - when everyone goes on a bank | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
holiday, we go to friends' houses. The children play together, rather | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
than going off driving when you were younger. Many people now shop | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
around the supermarkets to find the best prices. At the pumps though | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
it's not always so easy. Petrol is up just over 10p a litre since the | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
start of the year and diesel has gone up by about 7p. That's adding | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
�21.72 to the monthly outgoings of a two-car family. Some supermarkets | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
have reduced prices today, but there's still great uncertainty in | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
the Middle East with the tanker drivers' dispute and indeed a 3p | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
tax increase due for August. It's still not looking great for | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
motorists. Of course when cars were first produced they were really | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
only ever driven by the wealthy. Then came mass production and many | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
people got their own car. And now many families have two or more cars. | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
So is it time now to hit reverse and rethink our attitudes towards | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
them because of fuel prices? car family now, not two cars. So | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
yeah, you have to take a different attitude. I am thinking of getting | :14:14. | :14:20. | |
a smaller car. The petrol in this car is ludicrous. I want something | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
cheaper for me. It doesn't matter how much they put fuel up we will | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
keep buying it. That reality means we either have to absorb the price | :14:28. | :14:37. | |
rises, or change our habits. The Wales and Sheffield United | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
striker Ched Evans has been jailed for five years after being found | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
guilty of the rape of a 19-year-old woman. The court was told that he | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
took advantage of a vulnerable young woman who was in no fit state | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
to consent. From Caernarfon Crown Court, Hywel Griffith reports. | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
Star striker for club and country, Ched Evans is an international | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
footballer with fans across the game. Today the judge told him he | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
had thrown away a successful and promising career. Evans listened | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
and wept in the dock. Anything you want to say about Ched's sentence? | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
His family were left stunned, and silent. Evans is already | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
considering an appeal. The footballer found his victim | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
after a night out with former timemate Clayton McDonald. The men | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
met a 19-year-old woman who was drunk on a mixture of wine and | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
double vodkas. She fell over herself several times. At 4.00am | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
she took a a taxi with McDonald to a hotel. The receptionist that | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
night remembers the woman was slurring and stumbling as she went | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
to the room 14, where she was raped by Ched Evans. Outside the bedroom | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
window two other men looked on, one tried filming events on his mobile | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
phone. The following morning the victim | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
woke to find her clothes scattered across the room. She had no idea | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
how she had arrived there. Ched Evans has been his club's | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
player of the season, scoring 35 goals. He told police footballers | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
like him could have their pick of the girls. The jury cleared Clayton | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
McDonald of rape. He left court to return to his football career at | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
Port Vale. But Ched Evans is tonight beginning a five-year jail | :16:18. | :16:28. | |

Grand Prix will go ahead. Coming up: | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
A new Bob Marley film, with unseen footage and candid assessment of | :16:40. | :16:50. | |

Now, picture the scene. It is July 3rd, and the Olympic torch is | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
making its way through the East Midlands. By that date, it will | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
have reached day 46 of its 70 day journey, and today hundreds of | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
volunteers took part in a dry run for that part of the route, from | :17:18. | :17:25. | |
Leicester to Peterborough. Our correspondent was with them. How | :17:25. | :17:32. | |
did it go? Every dress-rehearsal is pretty tense. This was no exception. | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
But in just under an hour, the last of the runners will make their way | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
through the centre of Peterborough at the end of a journey which began | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
at sun rise in Leicester. They will not be alone. Will them -- with | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
them will be more than 300 support staff and dozens of escort vehicles, | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
combining to come up with an event which they hope will run like | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
clockwork for a start sunrise at the Space Centre, and the wheels of | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
the machine that is the Olympic torch relay are beginning to turn. | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
19-year-old Jasmine had been selected to run the first leg of | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
the 80 mile trip across three counties. Whether carried by | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
runners or in a vehicle, the torch travels in a protective envelope, | :18:15. | :18:21. | |
with roads closed around it to ensure that it stays on time. | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
Commuters and communities had been warned, but many had not | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
anticipated the scale of the disruption. The amount of traffic | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
going through the town, I am not happy. Why are waiting for our bus | :18:33. | :18:39. | |
now. It is late. It is ridiculous. It is a waste of time. It will only | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
happen once in my lifetime, so why not? The torch's journey will take | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
it to more than 1000 places throughout the UK, travelling 8000 | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
miles. From the thousands who applied to carry it, 8000 torch | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
bearers will run the route at a speed of four miles an hour. This | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
will be day 46 of that journey, chosen for its particular | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
challenges. This is a rigorous test, and it will allow us to do what we | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
have done in all our testing, which is to go away and look at the | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
things we may need to modify or refine. It is the elusive chase for | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
perfection. In this village, sealed off to allow the convoy's passage, | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
they are expecting 2000 people to watch the real thing. It is a real | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
carnival atmosphere, with the open- top buses. It is great. Priority | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
number one - even on a choppy crossing of Rutland Water, will be | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
to keep the flame alight, whether in the torches or in the specially | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
designed London. Another challenge on a long list, but despite the | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
disruption, today's dry run has whetted local appetite for the | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
summer can down ahead. Perhaps there are better ways of helping us | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
navigate around and perhaps better ways of reducing disruption, but | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
the sense I am getting tonight is that the planning has paid off. | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
The Scottish National Party has launched its manifesto for next | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
month's council elections. Alex Salmond said his party was looking | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
to implement policies in local councils that it had already | :20:11. | :20:18. | |
introduced at a national level to protect jobs and create opportunity. | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
Every SNP councillor elected across Scotland will introduce the same | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
policies. No compulsory redundancies and introduction of a | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
living wage. Even at tough times, you can have efficiency in | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
government leading to protection of jobs and establishing fairness for | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
all. It is the last full day of | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
campaigning in the first round of the French presidential elections. | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
The polls show President Sarkozy still trailing his Socialist rival | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
Francois Hollande, and the gap appears to be widening. The vote is | :20:45. | :20:53. | |
on Sunday, and there is a sense of real change in the air. | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
Not since 1981 has a Socialist challenger won the French | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
presidency, but in Bordeaux last night, they dared to believe. | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
Francois Hollande knows that the first round vote will be close on | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
Sunday, but polls suggest he will beat Nicolas Sarkozy in the run-off | :21:08. | :21:15. | |
in two weeks' time, and by some margin. On Sunday, the president | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
appealed to the revolutionary spirit. Rise up against the opinion | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
polls, he said, and the soft left that detest success. The problem is, | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
unemployment has risen. The working class resent the wealthy elite | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
whose around the president, and his sensitive to accusations that he is | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
the bling-bling President. He has been promising that the more you | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
work, the more money you get. But unfortunately, many do not see it | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
that way. They work a lot and do not get money. He did more things | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
for the rich people. In a frenetic door-to-door campaign, Mr Hollande | :21:48. | :21:56. | |
has promised to profoundly changed France and preserve the cherished | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
welfare state. Critics say both candidates have dodged the | :21:59. | :22:05. | |
fundamental debate on cuts that will be needed, whoever is elected. | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
When the real plan will be issued, you can bet that there will be a | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
strong protest coming from any part, from the left or the right. Which | :22:15. | :22:24. | |
perhaps explains why many will vote for two political extremes. On the | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
left, and Jean-Luc Melenchon, a Trotskyist who promises to increase | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
the minimum wage. On the right, Marine Le Pen, who stands against | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
Europe and immigration. It is unlikely that either of the two | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
fringe candidates will reach the run-off, but they do influence the | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
debate. Marine Le Pen has already dragged Nicolas Sarkozy to the | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
right and conversely, Jean-Luc Melenchon could pull Francois | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
Hollande to the left. Come Monday morning, and the race for the | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
second round vote, the supporters of these two camps will be up for | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
grabs. If the Left were to win on May 6th, it could change the | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
political narrative in Europe. Francois Hollande wants to rewrite | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
the Eurozone treaty for which Angela Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
fought so hard. He is a global icon and the voice | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
of reggae, who introduced the music to millions. Now the first ever | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
authorised film about Bob Marley's life has been released. It | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
premiered last night in front of thousands in Jamaica's capital, | :23:18. | :23:28. | |
:23:28. | :23:31. | ||
Kingston. Bob Marley, a Jamaican pop star, | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
peace broker and to many of his fans, something of a profit. Last | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
night, a new film about his life opened in Jamaica, at which his | :23:43. | :23:51. | |
widow, Wheater, spoke. Yes, bless! It is good for us as Africans and | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
Jamaicans to be here to watch this memorable programme tonight. | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
died over 30 years ago, but remains an everyday presence in the lives | :24:00. | :24:07. | |
of millions across the globe through his music and his lyrics. | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
# Get up, stand up. The Oscar- winning director of the documentary | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
came to the project as a Marley fan, but with the intention of revealing | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
the man. Yes, he has human faults, but so does everyone. I really | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
believe that he was not a hypocrite, that he believed what he was saying. | :24:27. | :24:33. | |
He did give a lot of his money away. I do not have that type of richness. | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
My richness is life. The film highlights the tension that Bob | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
Marley felt about having a white father and a black mother. His | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
mixed race made him feel like an outsider. He found his identity in | :24:45. | :24:53. | |
music and religion. This is my identity. It is said in the Bible | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
that all music will befall people to play and dance. That music is | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
reggae. Bob Marley became a hero in Jamaica and a target for the | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
island's politics. He survived that assassination attempt, only to die | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
a few days -- a few years later from cancer. Regardless of the | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
film's future commercial success, it has already been a hit with the | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
11 children Bob Marley had during his short life, giving them an | :25:22. | :25:32. | |

insight into a father they barely Now the weather. How is it looking? | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
Go to the cinema, and at least you will be dry! We have more of the | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
same right the way through the weekend. There will be spells of | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
sunshine and it will feel pleasant, but but don't be fooled, because | :25:46. | :25:52. | |
the heat from the sun will trigger more showers, frequent and heavy as | :25:52. | :25:58. | |
well. We have had a lot of showers today. Storms, lightning, Hale, | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
particularly in the south-east. The storms are not as bad now, but it | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
will not be dry everywhere overnight. Clear skies in land, | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
though, and it will be particularly cold in Wales and the West Midlands. | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
Then the sun shines tomorrow, the cloud builds, showers develop and | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
become extensive in the afternoon, with slow-moving and heavy | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
downpours. In the south-west of England, there will be some | :26:25. | :26:33. | |
sunshine and fewer showers. Quite breezy, though. We have had a few | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
thunderstorms in Northern Ireland today. There is a risk tomorrow | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
again, but there will be sunshine between the showers. The best of | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
the sunshine in Scotland will be along the west coast again. Lots of | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
heavy showers, may be a bit of snow over higher ground. Some slow- | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
moving downpours across northern England, particularly east of the | :26:55. | :27:01. | |
Pennines, into the Midlands and the south-east of England. Those | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
showers will be dropping the temperatures as well. For the | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
marathon, it will start off dry and chilly. There will be a risk of | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
seeing some showers. That story is mirrored across the UK on Sunday. A | :27:15. | :27:20. |
