European leaders gather tonight in boroughs toast work out how to | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
respond to shock of the anti-EU election results. David Cameron | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
arrives this evening, he say it is can't be business as usual. Brussels | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
has got too big, too bossy too interfering. We need more for nation | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
states. It should be nation states where possible. Europe only where | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
necessary. Labour and the Liberal Democrats try to form late their own | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
response to win back response. Also tonight: Are -- Rolf Harris begins | :00:33. | :00:44. | |
his defence against allegations of sexual abuse and even breaks into | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
song. The bank that likes to say yes is up for sale. With a flotation on | :00:48. | :00:54. | |
the stock market. The missing Nigerian schoolgirls. Now the army | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
claims it knows where they are, but it's too dangerous to rescue them. | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
Ahead of the Tour de France's arrival in Yorkshire, lessons from a | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
veteran in his 80s on the effects of endurance cycling. Tonight, on BBC | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
London. As counting continues at Tower Hamlets there are allegations | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
of intimidation during the local election. And, "every parents | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
nightmare", how a judge described a former teacher who sexually | :01:20. | :01:20. | |
assaulted children. Good evening and welcome to the BBC | :01:21. | :01:33. | |
News at Six. The Prime Minister has arrived in Brussels along with other | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
national leaders to discuss the implications of the weekend's | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
sweeping electoral gains by anti-EU parties. David Cameron has already | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
said Brussels is too big and too bossy and that the EU must change in | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
response to the victory of parties such as UKIP. Our Europe editor, | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
Gavin Hewitt, is in Brussels for us this inning. Evening. Are we likely | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
to see change? It's an informal dinner and one of the more important | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
European gatherings. How will Europe's leaders respond to the fact | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
that a significant number of voters turned against the European | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
establishment? There is lots of talk here of change, but whatle exactly | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
do they have in mind? Late afternoon, with the leaders | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
motorcades began sweeping into Brussels for an inquest into an | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
election that saw huge gains by eurosceptic parties. David Cameron | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
was quick to push an agenda for change. The European Union cannot | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
just shrug off these results and carry on as before. We need change. | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
We need an approach that recognises that Europe should concentrate on | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
what matters, on growth and jobs and not try to do so much. We need an | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
approach that recognises that Brussels has got too big, too bossy | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
to interfering. The French President, Francois Hollande, said | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
he was looking to reorientate economic policy towards growth and | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
protecting jobs. In Brussels, all eyes were on the German Chancellor, | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
Angela Merkel, now more influential than ever. Will she back an EU doing | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
less, but better? Will she respond to voters turning against austerity? | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
Some of the election winners have been setting out their approach in | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
the new European parliament. Here is the French far right leader, Marie | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
Le Pen. Our objective is to block with our elected members all harmful | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
developments by the European Union which involves defending the | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
interests of France and the interests of French. In a sign of | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
the new tension that exists. The powerful German Finance Minister | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
today denounced her party as fascist. Another victor, Nigel | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
Farage, was back in Broughsels, looking for allies but rejecting any | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
alliance with Le Pen. There is no chances at all of any accommodation | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
of any kind being found between UKIP and the French National Front. It | :04:06. | :04:15. | |
won't be easy over dinner tonight. David Cameron does see an | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
opportunity and he does have allies in arguing that what Europe needs is | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
less Brussels and doing things better. On the other hand, we also | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
heard another leader coming in today saying - you know the eurosceptic | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
surge when the economy improves. It will be difficult tonight reaching | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
an agreement as to what to do. Fiona. OK, Gavin, in Brussels, thank | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
you very much. Here, as party leaders absorb the shock of UKIP's | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
surge in the European elections, they have been setting out how they | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
intinned to claw back support. The Liberal Democrat leader, Nick | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
Clegg,, insists he won't stand down. Ed Miliband says it's | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
"understandable" people worry aboutle immigration, but leaving | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
Europe is not the answer for Britain. The Labour leader was | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
speaking in Thurrock, where his party lost control of the council on | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
Thursday. This report from our Carole Walker has flash photography. | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
Territory where UKIP is making serious in-roads. Thurrock is a key | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
target for Labour. A seat it must seize if it is to win the general | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
election, but where the party has just is lost control of the council. | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
Ed Miliband said he had listen #d to voters concerns, but therwill be no | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
move to the right on immigration. I'm on the side of immigrants. | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
Immigration benefits our country. I'm proud to say immigration | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
benefits our country. I think you know here you have to engage people | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
on the issue of immigration, saying what you can do and what you can't | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
do. I totally agree with you though, that part of the key to this is to | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
show there is a different vision of the future. The man who won three | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
elections for Labour said that's the right approach. Many of those people | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
who come in as immigrants to our country are creative, innovative, | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
hard-working diligent and contribute to our economy. If Labour was to go | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
down and (inaudible) UKIP it would be a massive mistake and wouldn't | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
bring us many votes in my view. The message on immigration is not | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
getting through to voters. That was apparent from some we spoke to. I | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
used to vote for Labour, but I don't vote any more. I don't think they | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
take the imgays seriously. Maybe now they are taking - looking at what | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
people think. I think everyone is upset with how the country is going | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
at the moment. I think that is why everyone everyone is doing the UKIP | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
thing. Even though I don't think it's the right decision. I voted for | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
UKIP. I believe there is too much immigration over here. The yes. It's | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
a small country. We are getting over populated. Ed Miliband is promising | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
a radical and bold offer at the next election. The questions he faced | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
here certainly youing ises he has work to do if he is to win back | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
voters in places like this, who feel the established parties are simply | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
not addressing their concerns. We met two young Labour members who | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
said the problem is not just the message, it's the man. He's not on | :07:20. | :07:29. | |
Tony Blair's type of level of attracting voters. I still think - I | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
don't believe he's good at the propaganda side of things. He | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
doesn't really get across to us as much as previous. He is still | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
decent. Yeah. The Lib Dem leader is under pressure too to show how he | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
will reconnect with voters. He says he won't stand down or change his | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
pro-European stance despite his party's drubbing at the polls. It | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
has been a massive setback for us last week. We were right to stick to | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
our values and right to seek to make that case. No-one else was doing it. | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
No-one else is doing it in British politics. The votes of Essex man and | :08:08. | :08:15. | |
woman could be critical in deciding the next election. This could well | :08:16. | :08:16. | |
be a popular destination for all the party leaders in the year ahead. | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
Carole Walker, BBC news, Thurrock. Our political editor, Nick Robinson, | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
is in Westminster for us. Nick, it's clear the main parties have their | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
work cut out to, a, win back support and, b, make headway in Europe? That | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
is right. Each in their own way, of the party leaders, are trying to | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
move they get it, they heard the anger of sectors of the electorate. | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
David Cameron talking tough in Brussels. Ed Miliband conceding that | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
Labour had lost the link with the very people who founded the Labour | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
Party, the link with what we used to call the working-classes and he now | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
calls working people. It's Nick Clegg who is fighting for his job | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
tonight. Extraordinary development, Vince Cable, the Business Secretary, | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
a Liberal Democrat of course, has just released a statement condemning | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
one of his own friends, his own allies, for paying for an opinion | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
poll designed to show that he, Vince Cable, would do a better job as | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
leader of the Liberal Democrats than Nick Clegg. That he would be more | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
likely to persuade people to vote for the party. Dr Cable has just | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
said it was "totally inexcusable and unacceptable, there is no leadership | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
issue as far as I'm concerned". He may think that. There clearly is | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
one. My hunch is Nick Clegg will survive and can survive, but his | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
party persists in talking about whether he should. Nick Robinson, at | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
Westminster, thank you. Rolf Harris has denied abusing a friend of his | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
daughter's as he began his defence against charges of indecent assault. | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
Mr Harris, who is 84, described the early years of his career, even | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
breaking into song. He described himself as a "touchy-feely" kind of | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
person, but denied prosecution claims he had abused four girls | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
between 1968 and 1986. From Southwark Crown Court, David | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
Sillito, sent this report. Rolf Harris arrived as he has done every | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
day during this trial, with his wife and daughter. There were more | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
cameras today because this was finally his chance to speak. It was | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
going to be a day of revelations. Some of the most painful and | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
embarrassing secrets of Rolf Harris' life. He was questioned about how he | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
had become a star. His songs, he treated the jury to a brief burst of | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
Jake the Peg. # There's the Jake the Peg... # | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
It moved on to his personal life. His home in south London and a | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
friend of his daughter, who they took on holiday when she was 13. In | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
court, Rolf Harris was asked if he had indecently assaulted her. She | :10:51. | :10:57. | |
said, no. It was put to him: The alleged victim said that you hugged | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
her, and she found it creepy. Have you hugged her? Yes I'm a | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
touchy-feely person. In a sexual way or not? No. He admitted they did a | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
sexual relationship. He sat down. His votes was quiet her. He said - I | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
find it very hard to discuss this. It's very embarrassing, a married | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
man, a much younger girl. I shunneden have been doing it. He was | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
asked, did she appear to be a willing participant or not? He said, | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
she did. On the other charges he said he had never been to the | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
Portsmouth Community Centre where one woman said she had been | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
assaulted. The allegation in Cambridge, he said he was in Canada | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
at the time. All the charges were denied. The friend of his daughter | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
he said it was a betrayal. He said he felt sickened by what he'd done. | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
David Sillito, BBC News, Southwark Crown Court. The police have begun | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
an investigation into attempts to fix a World Cup friendly between | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
Scotland and Nigeria that is due to be played in London tomorrow. The | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
Scottish Football Association have been contacted by the National Crime | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
Agency. With more, Daniel Boettcher is at Craven Cottage for us, where | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
the game is due to be played. Daniel, what more can you tell us | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
abouts it? Tomorrow evening, between Nigeria and Scotland, as part of | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
Nigeria's preparation for the World Cup, it appears that the game was | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
red flagged. Some kind of alert was raised. Whether it was due to | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
monitoring to betting or intelligence we don't know. The NCA | :12:30. | :12:37. | |
acted. The Scottish FA is meeting with the authorities and will | :12:38. | :12:49. | |
prepare for the match as normal. There is no suggestion that any | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
individual involved in the game is under suspicion. The game, as far as | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
we know, will continue as planned tomorrow evening. Thank you very | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
much. Sorry. We had a few technical problems. Shares are to be sold in | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
the high street bank, TSB, for the first time in nearly 20 years. | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
Lloyds Banking Group, which owns TSB, will float a quarter of the | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
shares on the stock market next month and the rest will be sold off | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
entirely by the end of next year to create a new challenger bank. The | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
sale is a condition of the agreement struck with the Government when it | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
bailed out Lloyds after the banking crash. Here's our business | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
correspondent, Simon Jack. You may have noticed the return of an old | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
brand to the high street. TSB is back. Lloyds is sell Egg selling it | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
to the public with the first 25% of shares up for grabs next month. The | :13:39. | :13:46. | |
new TSB is selling itself on back to basics banking, the kind it did 200 | :13:47. | :13:54. | |
years ago. The new TSB will start life with 631 branches across the | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
country from which it will serve 4.5 million customers, a number it hopes | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
to grow. That makes it the seventh biggest bank in the UK. Starting | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
life with millions of current account customers gives it a massive | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
advantage over the rest of the new entrance. Why? We are still very | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
reluctant to change our current account. I have been with them for a | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
very long time. I am very happy with them. It's a case of trusting | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
people. I have two bank accounts. I'm very happy with them. You become | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
lazy and can't get bothered. Unless some spectacular offer was | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
introduced to us. There are quite a few new kids on the block. TSB will | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
have to work hard. There Are small players out there with distinctive | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
offers like Metro Bank and the supermarket banks. TSB is | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
essentially a clone of Lloyds. I find it difficult to understand what | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
it will bring to the market that is distinctive. It's hoped small | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
investors will buy a fifth of the shares. Those who hang on to them | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
for a year will get a loyalty bonus. In a more crowded market, a new bank | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
will needed to hang on tos old customers. Simon Jack, BBC News. | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
The top story this evening: David Cameron's in Brussels for talks with | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
EU leaders on how to respond to the european election results. And still | :15:17. | :15:23. | |
to come... UEFA launches an investigation into the treatment of | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
a disabled Chelsea football fan. Later on BBC London. The smash and | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
grab raid in which thieves stole ?150,000 worth of luxury goods And | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
could Spurs be on the verge of signing this man as their new | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
manager? Senior military leaders in Nigeria | :15:35. | :15:49. | |
claim that they know where more than 200 schoolgirls, kidnapped by a | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
militant Islamist group, are being held. They won't reveal the exact | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
location where Boko Haram are holding the girls and they've ruled | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
out using force to free them saying it's too dangerous. They were taken | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
six weeks ago from their school in Chibok in the northern state of | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
Borno. It's thought they're being held somewhere in the Sambisa forest | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
reserve - an area 16 times the size of London - near the border with | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
Cameroon. Will Ross reports on the latest developments from the | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
capital, Abuja. There has been no sign of the abducted girls since | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
this video was released by Boko Haram more than two weeks ago. All | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
very embarrassing for the military which had deployed ground troops and | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
surveillance planes. But when a crowd turned up in support of the | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
much criticised military, it was announced that the girls had finally | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
been located. The good news is that we know where the girls are but we | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
cannot tell you. We cannot comment on specifics. Leave us alone, we are | :16:47. | :16:53. | |
working and will get the girls back. He did suggest using force to get | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
the teenage students out would be too risky to try. This is what is | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
left of the school in Chibok from where the girls were seized. They | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
were taken in the middle of the night and loaded onto trucks. A | :17:05. | :17:11. | |
father whose daughters are missing told the BBC what he made of the | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
latest news on the military. TRANSLATION: I used to be completely | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
downhearted but now that we have some information about their | :17:18. | :17:19. | |
whereabouts, we are beginning to feel comforted. The government | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
should do everything it can to secure their release alive. The news | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
may be seen as a breakthrough but there are plenty of people who are | :17:28. | :17:29. | |
reluctant to take official statements at face value. In | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
churches and mosques, Nigerians keep praying for the return of the girls | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
and an end to the relentless violence. Almost 500 people have | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
been killed by Boko Haram since the girls were abducted six weeks ago. | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
Using the military is of course not the only option available to the | :17:49. | :17:55. | |
government. The BBC has learned that negotiations have been attempted | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
with Boko Haram and a deal was almost struck that would have seen | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
50 of the girls released in exchange for setting free 100 Boko Haram | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
prisoners, but that government backed out of the deal at the 11th | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
hour. More marches and demonstrations are planned. On the | :18:07. | :18:17. | |
city streets across Nigeria, the calls to bring back our girls alive | :18:18. | :18:27. | |
ring out. Ukraine says its troops now control | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
the main airport in the eastern city of Donetsk after a fierce battle | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
with pro-Russian militants. The separatists seized the airport | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
yesterday - they say more than 30 of their fighters have been killed. | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
Ukraine's new President, Petro Poroshenko, has vowed to tackle the | :18:44. | :18:45. | |
eastern uprising within hours not months. Russia has called for an | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
immediate end to military action. Pope Francis has announced he will | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
meet a group of people who were sexually abused by the clergy at the | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
Vatican next month. Speaking after his Middle East tour, the Pope said | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
he would show zero tolerance for anyone in the Roman Catholic Church | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
who abuses children. The church has been strongly criticised in the past | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
for covering up accusations of abuse to protect its priests. Here's our | :19:05. | :19:06. | |
Diplomatic Correspondent James Robbins. He keeps breaking new | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
ground. Flying home from the Middle East, Pope Francis promised a hugely | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
symbolic first meeting with victims of sexual abuse by priests. | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
TRANSLATION: In the first days of June, I will have a mass with six to | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
eight people who have been abused and then they will have a meeting | :19:25. | :19:32. | |
with me. Two are from Germany and two are from England or Ireland, I | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
am not sure, and others as well. On this issue, we must go forward, | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
forward, zero tolerance. So what is the first reaction from victims? | :19:40. | :19:50. | |
Inevitably, mixed. Kate Walmsley was abused by a priest in Derry | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
repeatedly from the age of eight. My childhood was taken away from me, | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
you know? Really, really bad, and I do not want to go and see the Pope | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
and kiss his ring, and bow down to him and things like that because I | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
do not believe he is any higher than any other victims. The sexual abuse | :20:06. | :20:18. | |
of children by priests was rarely discussed in public before the | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
1970s. It was not until the 1980s that the first cases came to light | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
in the United States and Canada. In the '90s, revelations by the | :20:29. | :20:30. | |
American priest John Geoghan caused public outrage. In 2009, reports | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
revealed thousands of victims of abuse in Ireland, stretching back | :20:34. | :20:42. | |
decades. The next year, it emerged the head of the Irish Catholic | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
Church Cardinal Sean Brady had interviewed children who had been | :20:46. | :20:47. | |
abused. He is accused of telling them to keep silent about it. The | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
Catholic Church is still under enormous pressure to abandon any | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
appearance that abusers or those who covered up for them can still get | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
away with it. Pope Francis has used the words "zero tolerance" and there | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
are plenty of people waiting to judge the extent to which he lives | :21:04. | :21:12. | |
up to that promise. When a Chelsea fan who also happens to be in a | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
wheelchair went to cheer on her team at a game in Paris, she didn't | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
expect to be placed with jeering home fans, let alone spat on and | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
have bottles thrown at her. But sadly her experience is not that | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
unusual - the incident is being investigated by UEFA and could have | :21:27. | :21:28. | |
implications for clubs in the Premier League. Katie Gornall | :21:29. | :21:39. | |
reports. A glamour tie in the Champions League between two of the | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
richest clubs in the world. Almost Chelsea fans, this was a chance to | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
enjoy the surroundings and cheer on their team. These supporters were | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
denied the chance because they were sat in the wheelchair section. There | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
were ten of us and thousands of them. We thought, we are not going | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
to get out of here. At that point, I thought, this is going to get worse. | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
Somebody is going to get to is the injured and it seemed like hell. It | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
seemed like I was sitting in hell. Lisa and other disabled fans were | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
forced to sit just yards away from the Paris St Germain crowd. They | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
were left terrified. I have seen her get upset before but she was shaking | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
and crying and I could not calm her down. It made me really angry. UEFA | :22:28. | :22:38. | |
is investigating and the team is facing a partial stadium closure if | :22:39. | :22:50. | |
found guilty of discrimination. Here at Manchester City, disabled | :22:51. | :22:52. | |
supporters are always looked after and always sat with their own fans | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
but campaigners say that is not the case elsewhere in the Premier | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
League. Last season, five clubs sat away fans with opposing supporters, | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
this happened at Aston Villa, Liverpool, Manchester United, Spurs | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
and West Ham. Clubs should be treating disabled fans exactly the | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
same. They are the people who pay their wages, let them be part of the | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
game. UEFA and Harry St Germain have declined to comment while the | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
investigation is ongoing. The dry for change continues. -- Harry St | :23:22. | :23:29. | |
Germain. The world's greatest cycling race, the Tour de France, | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
will begin - in Yorkshire - this summer. Sir Bradley Wiggins, Chris | :23:34. | :23:35. | |
Froome and Mark Cavendish are among those hoping to compete in one of | :23:36. | :23:42. | |
the most gruelling events in sport. But what effect does such endurance | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
exercise have on the body? Our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh - | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
who's a keen cyclist - has tried to find out, and began by meeting one | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
of the heroes of British cycling. Yorkshire born and bred, Brian | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
Robinson is still cycling at 83. He is a true sporting icon, the first | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
Briton to finish the Tour de France, and the first to win a stage of the | :23:59. | :24:06. | |
race. Hello, Brian. Hello. Nice to go for a bike ride. It is great, | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
isn't it? FRENCH COMMENTARY. | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
This was Brian in 1959, finishing 20 minutes ahead of the rest of the | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
field after a gruelling 126 mile stage, one of the biggest winning | :24:21. | :24:30. | |
margins in tour history. More than half a century later, the tour is | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
coming to Yorkshire. He will be there and hopes he has more years of | :24:35. | :24:41. | |
cycling to come. I can recommend it and they do say that it puts ten | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
years on your life. If it gives me another ten years, I will be happy! | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
Elite cyclists are among the fittest people on the planet. One small | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
study suggested they live eight years longer than the general | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
population but the same may not be true for the growing army of | :24:59. | :25:06. | |
Lycra-clad amateurs. When you're doing a climb like this it does not | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
feel that good for your health but what effect does this sort of | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
continuous endurance exercise have on the body? At the University of | :25:14. | :25:15. | |
Kent, scientists tested older endurance cyclists like me and | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
pushed them to the limit on the bike. Well done. Well done. That was | :25:19. | :25:32. | |
tiring! They found their heart health was as good as fit adults | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
decades their junior. That means you are at a lower risk of having | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
vascular disease and will also lower your risk of a fatality. So your | :25:43. | :25:54. | |
advice to the middle aged men in Lycra is to keep cycling? Continue | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
what you are doing. That is my best win. It is a big race. Brian | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
Robinson is living proof of the benefits of cycling and says his | :26:06. | :26:08. | |
only health problems have been when he has fallen off his bike. Time for | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
a look at the weather with Louise Lear. | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
he has fallen off his bike. Time for a look at the weather with Half term | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
week continues and I suspect there have been skies like this across | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
eastern England. It has been pretty miserable indeed. The wettest | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
weather will be in the east with brighter skies perhaps if we are | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
lucky. There has been this rain spilling in off the North Sea, | :26:36. | :26:43. | |
winning a fair amount of rain in. Summer showers in the West, some | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
thundery. There have been glimpses of sunshine, not a bad afternoon | :26:48. | :26:50. | |
across the West and North East Scotland, but underneath the cloud, | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
that rain keeps on coming. There is another conveyor belt of wet weather | :26:57. | :27:04. | |
tonight 's -- tonight, particularly towards the east of the Pennines. | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
Tomorrow will be a great start but predominantly dry in the south. | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
Hopefully, a little bit of brightness in the south-west. That | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
rain will sit across North Wales, the Midlands and through eastern | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
England with a brisk easterly winds, making it feel quite cool. A level | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
of uncertainty just how far north this rain will go, potentially | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
pushing into southern Scotland. The far north of Northern Ireland, it | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
starts off largely fine and dry. You will see showers develop in Northern | :27:37. | :27:41. | |
Ireland is. You can see the grey, wet afternoon here. To the north and | :27:42. | :27:47. | |
south, a little bit brighter with highs of 17 degrees, lighter winds | :27:48. | :27:51. | |
in the south-west. As we move on to Thursday, that weather front sits | :27:52. | :27:57. | |
there. The weather front will decay somewhat. Signs of something a | :27:58. | :28:05. | |
little warmer with 19 degrees and drier weather. Thank you. A reminder | :28:06. | :28:15. | |
of our main story... David Cameron is in Brussels for talks with EU | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
leaders about how to respond to the European election results. That's | :28:20. | :28:23. | |
all from the BBC News at Six - so it's goodbye from me and | :28:24. | :28:24. |
