Anders Breivik is declared sane. The judge sentences him to 21 years | :00:05. | :00:11. | |
for killing 77 people in attacks in Norway. Breivik smiled as the judge | :00:11. | :00:15. | |

killing more. TRANSLATION: I wish to apologise to | :00:24. | :00:27. | |

News at Six. Anders Breivik, the right wing extremist who murdered | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
77 people in Norway last summer, has been given the country's | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
maximum sentence of 21 years. But that can be extended if he's still | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
deemed to be a threat to society. Breivik said he did not recognise | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
the court, would not appeal the verdict and apologised for not | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
killing more. During the trial, he had admitted carrying out a car | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
bombing in the capital Oslo and going on a shooting rampage on | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
Utoeya island. The youngest victim was 14. Our Correspondent, James | :02:14. | :02:24. | |

The events of a single day in July last year, the 22nd, have been | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
described by the Prime Minister of Norway as a nightmare beyond | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
comprehension. Well, today, this trial tied to make some sense of | :02:35. | :02:42. | |
the actions of a single gunman acting entirely alone. | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
Anders Breivik says he killed to destroy a liberal multicultural | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
Norway. Today and Norwegian court demonstrated his failure to achieve | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
that goal. Briefly, Breivik attended a fascist salute before | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
hearing the verdict of five judges. Guilty of mass murder and terrorism | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
and not insane. TRANSLATION: Anders Breivik, born | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
in 1979, his sentence to 21 years and a minimum period of 10 years. | :03:15. | :03:22. | |
There was a smile, on his face. For him, being judged sane have somehow | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
reinforces his self-image as a political prisoner. But for most of | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
the bereaved and survivors I spoke to, it was the right judgment. | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
Breivik did not have the excuse of insanity. That is exactly what we | :03:35. | :03:43. | |
hoped for. Sometimes we were afraid they would hesitate to have such a | :03:43. | :03:51. | |
verdict. On 22nd July, I hid in the cafe building. And survived. I am | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
very pleased but decision was one I agree with and I feel it's the | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
right one. His trail of killing started here in Oslo with a huge | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
bomb explosion outside the prime minister's office. Eight people | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
were killed. Much later, this picture of Breivik leaving the | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
scene was found on CCTV. As the emergency services defend the | :04:17. | :04:25. | |
capital city, he was heading to the island of Utoeya. The sound is | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
haunting. GUNFIRE. The sound of him killing young people at their | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
annual camp organised by the Labour Party. Legitimate targets, he | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
called them, being trained as Marxists to promote a multicultural | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
Europe. He had more than one hour before the police arrived. He | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
killed more than 69 people here. shot all my friends when they were | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
trying to swim away from him. And he shot my friends when they were | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
hiding. He shot my friends when they were running away from him. It | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
was horrible. When armed police finally arrived, he surrendered | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
without a fight. A few weeks later, he's taken back to the island to | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
talk through his actions. You can just see the tether the police used | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
to ensure he did not escape. Anders Breivik killed 77 people in the | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
space of four hours, shooting most of his victims at very close range | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
with obsessive precision. Most were young adults, some still children, | :05:32. | :05:40. | |
the youngest was 14. But this evening, when he was | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
allowed a moment to speak in court, he used it to apologise to other | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
extremists for not killing more people that day. Before the judge | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
cut him off mid-sentence. Anders Breivik will begin his 21 years | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
preventive detention at this prison on the outskirts of Oslo. Most | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
Norwegians believe conditions will never be right for him to be | :06:01. | :06:08. | |
released. He will be in solitary confinement in prison cells | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
prepared especially for him to protect other criminals and protect | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
him from them. Most Norwegians I spoke to today are relieved justice | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
has been done. Some are dismayed, thinking possibly Anders Breivik | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
will be too comfortable in prison, where he may be given extra sales, | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
extra space, to compensate him for the solitary confinement he will | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
endure if he has to be protected from other prisoners. It is also to | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
be said, many Norwegians will be disgusted by the fact he was able | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
to use the court this evening as a platform to try and propagate more | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
of his poisonous views, seeking to apologise to other ultra- | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
nationalists, for failing to kill more people that date. But I think, | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
in many ways, the overwhelming feeling, having talked to families | :06:58. | :07:05. | |
and survivors outside the court, it is that he won't be coming out of | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
prison at any time soon. And that, above all, they won't have to see | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
him or hear from him again in the future. | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
James, thank you. James, joining us from Oslo. The Press Complaints | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
Commission says it's received more than 850 complaints from the public | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
about the Sun newspaper's decision to publish photographs of Prince | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
Harry naked in a hotel room in Las Vegas. The paper says they were | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
freely available on the internet and had already been viewed by | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
millions of people. Our Royal Correspondent, Nicholas Witchell, | :07:33. | :07:43. | |

Self restraint lasted rather less than 48 hours. This morning, the | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
frustration felt in Britain's tabloid newsrooms came too much for | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
the Sun newspaper and there inside his pages with the voters of Prince | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
Harry in Las Vegas. The freedom of the press had outweighed the | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
privacy of this particular individual. This is about the | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
ludicrous situation where a picture can be seen by hundreds of millions | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
of people around the world on the internet, but can't be seen in the | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
nation's favourite newspaper. According to the Sun newspaper this | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
morning, there is a clear public interest in publishing the pictures | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
in order for the debate around them to be fully informed. But the rival | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
Daily Mirror disagreed and said -- so did the editor of the | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
Independent. He was at a private hotel room with people he had | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
invited into the room. A private party. Some body betrayed his trust | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
and took those pictures. There is no public interest in those | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
pictures at all. The former deputy prime minister Lord Prescott, once | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
a notable victim of the tabloid himself, said there was all about | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
profit. Somebody gets a photograph, makes money, and the others by the | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
pictures and make money again. It's nothing to do the public interest. | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
It is profit, profit, profit. this is happening in the shadow of | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
Lord Justice Leggatt some's inquiry into the behaviour of the British | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
press. Among the options he will be considering our continued self- | :09:12. | :09:20. | |
regulation by a reshaped Press A new strength and a regulator, | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
possibly underpinned by legislation. Or full scope of the laws ball for | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
that is the least favoured option for editors. That is all for the | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
future, of course. Right now Prince Harry and his advisers must decide | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
whether they are going to make a formal complaint to the Press | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
Complaints Commission. That is being considered at the moment for | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
that as I understand it, no decision has been taken about a | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
complete. Prince Harry have been advised by his family to keep a low | :09:48. | :09:55. | |
profile. Because the story may not be over. More photographs of his | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
exploits in Las Vegas are said to be circulating. His dream holiday | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
has well and truly turned into a nightmare. | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
New figures suggest the British economy shrank by less than first | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
thought between April and June. The Office for National Statistics | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
originally estimated that GDP, the total value of goods and services | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
produced in the economy, would contract by 0.7% in that period. | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
But it's now reduced the scale of the fall. Our Chief Economics | :10:21. | :10:31. | |
Correspondent, Hugh Pym, explains. Digging down into the data, the | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
statisticians have come up with the latest snapshot of the economy. | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
They say it's not been quite as bad as they thought. They had said | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
output fell by 0.7% between April and June but now they think it was | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
not 0.5%. So why is that? The answer lies in industries like | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
construction and mining, which things have turned out better than | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
first thought. This company surprised triggers off a bit says | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
trading has been difficult, but not as bad as the data implied -- | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
supply is diggers calls up I was surprised by the degree of | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
contracts and suggested. We have seen some softening but not to the | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
degree we have in the figures in the last couple of quarters bought | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
the key is what he meant. Industrial production including | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
mining had fallen 1.3% over three months, it was suggested. Now it is | :11:21. | :11:31. | |
0.9%. For construction, 5.2% has been revised that to 3.9%. So what | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
about the consumer side of the economy? The latest figures show | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
household spending fell again with budgets being squeezed because | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
cost-of-living increases were running well ahead of average pay | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
rises. With inflation predicted to fall further, that pressure could | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
be easing. Consumers are still very nervous but they are spending a | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
little bit more and perhaps the weather has played in to bat as | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
well. The next six months, if inflation continues to come down, | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
it should help households find more money in the budgets and spend a | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
bit more on the High Street. Shoppers we spoke to do they were | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
still cautious about their spending plans. We just 10 to get on with it, | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
buy it, moan about it, because become too much else about it. | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
is tough for everybody and it won't be easy. Are you spending the same | :12:21. | :12:28. | |
as you work? It's extremely difficult. Whether its | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
manufacturing or service industries, the fact is, we are still in | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
recession. The economy is not sparkling normally and the | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
political debate over where growth is going to come from is likely to | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
intensify. Two people have died in a shooting | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
near the Empire State Building in New York. Police say a disgruntled | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
worker had killed a former colleague before being shot dead by | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
police. Nine people were wounded in the exchange of fire. Michelle | :12:51. | :13:00. | |
Fleury reports from Manhattan. What should have been another | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
bustling day in midtown Manhattan took a frightening term. A gunman | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
opened fire in the middle of the city's rush out. In one of the | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
world's best loan landmarks, the Empire State Building. He and one | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
other are dead and nine others were wounded, some by police gunfire. | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
disgruntled former employee of a company at that address shot and | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
killed a former co-worker. Striking him three times. The subject, | :13:28. | :13:34. | |
Geoffrey Johnson, aged 53, then fled eastbound on West 34th Street. | :13:34. | :13:41. | |
To Fifth Avenue. Then he walked northbound along the line with a 45 | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
calibre handgun secreted in a black bag he had under his arm. Geoffrey | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
Johnson was laid off one year ago. It's believed he went back to his | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
old workplace to confront a former colleague. In the mayhem, | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
bystanders described the scene. had multiple gunshot and one single | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
gunshot and then it was pretty so real because there was no screaming, | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
just slow motion. I saw girl running next to me going down and | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
that could it be me. She was hit in the leg. Hopefully, she will be OK. | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
It is several hours since the gunmen opened fire and this is | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
still an active crime scene. Police have cordoned off several blocks of | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
midtown Manhattan. Over my shoulder is the Empire State Building. Very | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
popular with tourists at this time of year. The area, though, also has | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
a lot of office blocks. Making this normally and normally bustling part | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
of town. Michael Bloomberg, an outspoken critic of gun-control | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
laws in the USA, spoke from the scene. New York City is the safest | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
big city in the country and we are going to have a record low number | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
of murders this year but we are not immune to the national problem of | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
gun violence. Officials say the incident had nothing to do with | :15:00. | :15:09. | |
The US Anti-Doping Agency says it has stripped cycling's Lance | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
Armstrong of his Tour de France titles and has issued a lifetime | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
ban from the sport. It follows his decision not to fight charges, | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
brought by agency, that he used performance-enhancing drugs. | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
Armstrong said he had grown weary of what he has described as a witch | :15:23. | :15:33. | |
:15:33. | :15:36. | ||
hunt against him. Lance Armstrong's White story is | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
one of the most dramatic sport has ever known. He won the Tour de | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
France seven times in a row, elevating cycling to new levels and | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
his own profile to the American A- list. It was all the more | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
extraordinary because he did it after overcoming life-threatening | :15:52. | :15:59. | |
cancer. But his career and reputation have been dogged by | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
persistent allegations that his achievements were fuelled by banned | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
performance-enhancing drugs. Claims he has always denied. A I try not | :16:08. | :16:15. | |
to let it bother me and just keeps rolling right along. I know what I | :16:15. | :16:22. | |
know and I know what I do and it did. That is not going to change. | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
Today, it did change. Faced with a raft of charges from the US Anti- | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
Doping Agency, backed up by as many as 10 the former team-mates, he and | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
characteristically through in the towel. In a statement he said, | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
there comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, enough is | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
enough. For me, that time is now it. Armstrong says this is not an | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
admission of guilt. Despite that, the US Anti-Doping Agency has | :16:50. | :16:56. | |
banned him for life and stripped him of his titles. Those can be | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
appeared but for the man leading the fight against doping, the | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
implications for a Lance Armstrong are clear. Those are very serious | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
charges and it means he is effectively acknowledging that they | :17:09. | :17:16. | |
had substance and that allows you, under the rules, to impose | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
sanctions. Cycling has become accustomed to dealing with major | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
doping scandals but the Lance Armstrong case may be the biggest | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
blow yet to its credibility. The sport says it has cleaned up its | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
act and in this country at least, that is crucial because it is | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
enjoying an unprecedented surge in success and popularity. One of | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
plants and Strang's former team mates says cycling has changed. | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
Just watching the Tour de France, it is a completely different style | :17:46. | :17:54. | |
of racing from 10 years ago. many, Lance Armstrong will always | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
be known as one of sport's biggest heroes and one today's developments | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
leave a lot of questions unanswered, his reputation has been damaged, | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
perhaps beyond repair. Our top story tonight: Anders | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
Breivik who murdered 77 people in Norway last year is sentenced to | :18:10. | :18:18. | |

took Claire Lomas 16 days to complete this year's London | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
Marathon. This morning it was a shorter journey to bring the pan | :19:24. | :19:33. | |
and put flame to the host city. do you put that into words? So | :19:33. | :19:40. | |
proud and I feel very privileged to be asked to be involved in today. I | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
have a lot of respect for those you are going to come back bringing the | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
medals for Team GB again! The UK is still suffering from withdrawal | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
symptoms from the Olympics, the Paralympics could be the antidote. | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
More than 4000 athletes are set to compete. We had a few days of the | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
blues after the Olympic Games but people sooner quickly snapped out | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
of it and recognised we were only halfway through. Paralympic sport | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
is just mind-blowing when you watch it. With the flame now in the heart | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
of the capital, the countdown to the Paralympics is truly under way. | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
At Paralympics that organisers hope will be the most high profile ever | :20:22. | :20:29. | |
staged. One that it is hoped will transcend sport and help change | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
attitudes towards disabled people. The torch relay is a crucial part | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
of the mission to get the public fully engaged. London is the first | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
of the cauldron Whiting's from the flames which were created on the | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
highest peaks of the UK. Over the next few days there will be similar | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
events in Belfast, Edinburgh and Cardiff. Before flames will then | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
come together at Stoke Mandeville on Tuesday when the start of a 24 | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
hour really to Stratford. This afternoon at the English game was | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
taken to the preparations for this week's Notting Hill Carnival. Then | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
on to the Houses of Parliament. The Paralympic symbol now hangs from | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
Tower Bridge, just five days and counting before the next great | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
festival of sport. Later we will hear about the man | :21:16. | :21:26. | |
:21:26. | :21:32. | ||
who conceived the Paralympics. A man who killed six people | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
including his wife and two young children in a knife attack in | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
Jersey has been convicted of manslaughter. During his trial the | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
court heard Damian Rzeszowski, a Polish National, was affected by | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
what was described as a psychotic symptoms. | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
Damian Rzeszowski, described in court as a hard-working family | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
living man, and man who, one summer afternoon, killed all those closest | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
to him. A Kent only imagine the grief of the families who have lost | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
their loved ones in such brutal circumstances. The events of 14th | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
August 1920 11 have left a very sad, indelible mark on Jersey's history. | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
When emergency services answered frantic calls to the flat innocent | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
Hillier, they were faced with an horrific scene. This is a police | :22:15. | :22:22. | |
plan of the flat. Damian Rzeszowski attacked his father in law in the | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
bedroom and then moved into the lounge in search of his wife and | :22:25. | :22:34. | |
children. Armed with kitchen knives, he turned on his father not as he | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
watched TV. His two-year-old son, his five-year-old daughter and her | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
friend, both aged five, were attacked as they played. Their | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
mother was found critically injured in the street as was Damian | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
Rzeszowski's wife. The first police officers to arrive here found him | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
inside the flat with what were clearly self-inflicted stab wounds. | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
The prosecution rejected his claims that he could remember little of | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
what has happened and he had suffered some mental breakdown. He | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
was a man whose desire for revenge at his wife's affair had exploded | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
into violence. Expert witnesses for the defence argued that his | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
depression over the marriage break- up had made him and mentally | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
unstable and in the end, the court agreed with that view. Outside, a | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
police liaison officer read a statement from the family. This | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
tragedy is even more painful as we have lost our children and | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
grandchildren are. Knowing that we will never be able to play with | :23:39. | :23:48. | |
them again or cuddled them and we can never talk to them again and it | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
makes the pain unbearable. Damian Rzeszowski will be sentenced in a | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
few weeks' time. He has twice tried to take his own life and is now | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
facing the consequences of those terrible minutes on a summer | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
afternoon. The number of measles cases in | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
England and Wales almost doubled in the first half of this year, | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
compared to the same period last year, according to the Health | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
Protection Agency. In total there were 964 cases from January to June | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
with ongoing outbreaks in Merseyside and Sussex. The Health | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
Promotion Agency says it is vital children receive both doses of the | :24:19. | :24:26. | |
MMR vaccination before the start of the new school year. | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
As we have heard, the Paralympics gets under way next week but how | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
did it all begin? It can be traced back to a German Jew who fled the | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
Nazis before the outbreak of the Second World War. When Dr Ludwig | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
Guttmann arrived in Britain, he started a spinal unit for injured | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
servicemen. He soon realised that sport could help rebuild their | :24:44. | :24:52. | |
lives and from that evolved the Paralympics. | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
Modern Paralympian is in training at Stoke Mandeville stadium, | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
members of a global sports movement which started here at a makeshift | :25:00. | :25:07. | |
wartime hospital, thanks to the energy and vision of one man. Dr Dr | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
Ludwig Guttmann was a Jewish refugee who fled Germany and helped | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
found the spinal injuries unit. For over 30 years, he inspired his | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
patients, many ex servicemen, to use sport to transform their lives. | :25:23. | :25:30. | |
We started with the soldiers in the war, a simple games first like | :25:30. | :25:37. | |
darts into the wall. We then had snooker and then restarted skittles | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
and then I saw of course how these men reacted, not only physically, | :25:42. | :25:49. | |
but psychologically. On the opening day of the London Olympics in 1948, | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
he organised the first Stoke Mandeville Games. By the 1960s, | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
disabled sports have been accepted into the Olympic movement as the | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
Paralympics. Philip Lewis played table tennis as a Paralympian and | :26:03. | :26:11. | |
was treated by Dr Ludwig Goodman. He was quite a severe man with his | :26:12. | :26:20. | |
staff and with the paraplegics. But, behind it all, there was that sort | :26:20. | :26:26. | |
of tremendous kindness. He made you realise that he wanted to do the | :26:26. | :26:36. | |
:26:36. | :26:37. | ||
best for you. But you had to put your bit. Here at Stoke Mandeville, | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
be treated many of Britain's Paralympian as and many others who | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
years ago would have been written off as incurable and left to die. | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
The spinal injuries unit here is one part of his legacy. Another | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
part is a commitment to helping disabled people fulfil their | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
potential, whether as athletes, individuals or as members of | :26:59. | :27:07. | |
society. One of Britain's greatest modern Paralympian is says disabled | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
people told Dr Ludwig Goodman agreed debt. He believed disabled | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
people should live normal lives and I think it was his persistence at a | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
time when not so people thought he was slightly mad thinking that | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
disabled people could contribute and he just stood up to everyone. | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
He is now commemorated by a new statute at Stoke Mandeville, a man | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
with a passionate belief in the power of sport to restore it not as | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
disabled people's fitness, but their self-esteem and their dignity | :27:35. | :27:45. | |
:27:45. | :27:49. | ||
as well. There is rain around right now | :27:49. | :27:54. | |
across the more the southern and central parts of your cake. It will | :27:54. | :28:00. | |
edge its way further northwards. The showers across Scotland will | :28:00. | :28:08. | |
dwindle tonight. Not desperately cold with temperatures of 14 or 15 | :28:08. | :28:14. | |
degrees. A lot of rain around tomorrow and gusty winds along the | :28:14. | :28:18. | |
south coast. Otherwise, the winners will be fairly light which means | :28:18. | :28:23. | |
that the rain all be a slow moving. There will be a few lucky places | :28:23. | :28:29. | |
which avoid the reins. Northern Ireland and western Scotland are | :28:29. | :28:37. | |
best placed to see some sunshine at. Some thunder and lightning and | :28:37. | :28:43. | |
maybe he'll have mixed in. Southernmost counties are England | :28:43. | :28:48. | |
will have a brisk wind to add to the disappointing feel of things on | :28:48. | :28:54. | |
Saturday afternoon. The low- pressure responsible for the wet | :28:55. | :28:59. | |
weather just eases out into the North Sea as we going to Sunday. | :28:59. | :29:03. | |
They will be a few showers left behind, Sunday looks like the best | :29:03. | :29:07. | |
day. Some sunshine, lighter winds and although temperatures don't | :29:07. | :29:10. | |
look spectacular, it will feel rather more pleasant in the | :29:10. | :29:18. |
