the tributes to the actor and director Richard Attenborough | :00:47. | :00:47. | |
who's died at the age of 90. A British victim of the ebola virus | :00:48. | :01:11. | |
is being kept in strict isolation this evening in a London hospital. | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
William Pooley, a 29-year-old nurse, contracted | :01:15. | :01:15. | |
the potentially fatal disease while treating patients in Sierra Leone, | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
where he's been called a hero. He was flown home by the RAF last | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
night and is being cared for at the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead. | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
Our health correspondent Branwen Jeffreys reports. | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
William Pooley went to Sierra Leone to care for the dying, visiting AIDS | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
and cancer patients in their homes. When the ebola outbreak struck, he | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
left the hospice team to volunteer in a hospital putting his own life | :01:41. | :01:48. | |
at risk. He is really a hero. A wonderful volunteer. He is very | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
compassionate. He truly loves people. I admire him. Now he is a | :01:55. | :02:04. | |
patient in the UK's only high-level isolation unit. His bed sealed | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
inside a tent, the air in and out of filtered. The team treating him will | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
reach in using special suits built into the tent, all designed to avoid | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
contact with the virus. This high-tech unit could not be more | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
different from the hospital in Sierra Leone. There, the number of | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
patients was overwhelming staff. He was putting in sometimes 18 hour | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
days. We have been understaffed at the hospital. The nursing staff | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
sometimes are afraid to go in under certain circumstances. In those | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
difficult conditions, teams are taking every precaution. Just a | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
brief exposure to the virus is enough. It is transmitted through | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
direct contact with bodily fluids, constant vigilance is needed to spot | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
early symptoms. Today, his family said they were astounded by the | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
speed of the operation to bring him back to the UK. They say he couldn't | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
be in a better place and he is receiving excellent care here. In | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
health care facilities, of a kind that most of the ebola victims in | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
Africa don't have access to. There is no proven treatment for the | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
virus. But they can put him on a trip to maintain his fluid levels | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
and use antibiotics toward off any other infections. Giving this | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
dedicated nurse a fighting chance of recovery. | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
Branwen Jeffreys reports. With just over three weeks to go | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
until the Scottish referendum on independence there's | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
a second televised debate tonight. Scotland's First Minister, Alex | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
Salmond, will be putting the case FOR independence and the former | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
Labour chancellor, Alistair Darling, will argue that the country should | :03:54. | :03:54. | |
stay within the United Kingdom. Both men had to rise to a different | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
challenge before tonight's debate. stay within the United Kingdom. | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
Once the Scottish actor James McAvoy had nominated them they couldn't not | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
take the ice bucket challenge. Alistair Darling unflappable | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
as ever. Go Scotland! | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
Alex Salmond, characteristically more animated. | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
Glasgow's magnificent Kelvingrove Museum will host this second TV | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
encounter and this time viewers across the UK can watch it live. | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
Last time, Alistair Darling attacked Alex Salmond on the question | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
of which currency an independent Scotland would use. | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
Supporters of the union say Scotland's First | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
Minister still has no answer to this most vital question. | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
What people want tonight are not just quick one-liners from | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
Alex Salmond, but real answers, real answers about the currency, | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
real answers about funding for Scotland, about the future | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
of jobs and hospitals. That's what people want, | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
real answers, and if he does not deliver, I think | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
he'll get a very negative response. Alex Salmond's supporters want | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
a more robust performance from him tonight and they expect him to | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
challenge Alistair Darling as what they see as Scotland's uncertain | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
future inside the European Union. To drive momentum back into the Yes | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
campaign, Alex Salmond will have to try to turn the tables forcing | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
Alistair Darling onto the defensive. We can expect to hear a lot | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
from Alex Salmond tonight on what he sees as the consequences | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
for Scotland's public services especially the NHS, if the country | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
votes to stay in the union. I'd be absolutley sure the | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
First Minister tonight is going to set out the very positive case | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
for Scottish independence. Of course, the important thing to | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
point out is how badly we have been let down by Westminster and | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
the threats that lie down the road if we were to remain within the UK. | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
The polls still put the anti-independence campaign ahead. | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
But that lead narrowed after the last TV debate, despite Alistair | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
Darling's strong performance. Will tonight be the pivot on | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
which the campaign will turn? It is perhaps the most important 90 | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
minutes in this long, long battle. And our Scotland Correspondent | :06:07. | :06:07. | |
Lorna Gordon is in Glasgow. Really important, especially with | :06:08. | :06:20. | |
someone we don't know. Yes, there are a big proportion of Scotland's | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
four million-plus electorate who have already made their minds up but | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
there is a significant amount of people, the undecided people, and | :06:27. | :06:35. | |
the soft voters on either side who are veering towards yes or no, but | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
who may yet change their minds. Alistair Darling in Alex Salmond | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
tonight are aiming their arguments at them. Expect some familiar ground | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
to be revisited. We will hear arguments over the economy, | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
currency, oil, the NHS, but a word of warning. Both of these men are | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
skilled debaters but don't expect that necessarily to transfer into a | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
bump in the polls. Lorna, thanks very much | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
Lorna Gordon is in Glasgow. And you can see the second televised | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
debate on Scottish independence ahead of next month's referendum | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
at 8.30 tonight on BBC Two and on BBC One in Scotland. | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
A woman who killed her three-year-old son has been jailed | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
for 11 years by a judge at the High Court in Edinburgh. | :07:22. | :07:32. | |
Rosdeep Adekoya denied murdering Mikaeel Kular, but admitted a lesser | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
charge of culpable homicide. Andrew Anderson reports | :07:36. | :07:35. | |
from Edinburgh. indeed his mother had beaten him | :07:36. | :07:45. | |
after they have eaten at a restaurant. Mikaeel died from | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
internal injuries in Edinburgh. Two days later, she called the police, | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
claiming her son had disappeared. A massive police operation was | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
launched in the north of the city. In this particular case it became | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
clear that Mikaeel had not gone missing. Of his own accord. As had | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
been reported. His body was lying in woodland 20 miles away. His mother | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
had wrapped him in bedding, put his body in a suitcase, and hidden it in | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
behind her sister 's house. Eventually, she led police to him. | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
behind her sister 's house. Eventually, she At court in | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
Edinburgh this morning, Rosdeep Adekoya was sentenced to 11 years. | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
Originally charged with murder, she admitted a lesser charge of culpable | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
homicide. The judge told her: Rosdeep Adekoya and her family were | :08:33. | :08:48. | |
known to social services in Edinburgh and in Fife. The social | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
workers involvement ended in December last year. Four weeks | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
later, Rosdeep Adekoya killed her son. There were now been enquiry | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
into the more could be done. The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, | :09:06. | :09:15. | |
has called for tougher powers to deal with | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
extremists who return to Britain from fighting in Iraq and Syria. | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
Writing in the Daily Telegraph, he said people travelling to war zones | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
without telling the authorities should be presumed to be potential | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
terrorists - until proven innocent. The idea's been dismissed | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
as 'simplistic' by the Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg. | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
Here's our Political Correspondent Iain Watson. | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
Around half of the 500 British Stetsons fighting in Syria and Iraq | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
alongside Islamic State militants could come from London, and today | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
Doris Johnson called for tougher action against potential terrorists. | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
Writing in the Daily Telegraph, he said: | :09:50. | :09:59. | |
in other words, they would be a presumption of guilt, not innocents. | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
He says: control orders were introduced by | :10:04. | :10:14. | |
the last Labour government and scrapped by the coalition. These | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
allow terrorist suspects to be detained in their own homes without | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
trial. Terror suspects are often taken to this Court in central | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
London for their initial hearing, and the Home Office said the | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
government intends to take the strongest possible action against | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
those that commit crimes when abroad. The Liberal Democrats | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
believe that Boris Johnson's apparent solutions to tackling | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
Islamic State sympathisers are too simplistic. I sometimes wish it was | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
as simple as he implies, all we need to do is pass a law and everything | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
will be well. I'm afraid passing a law in Westminster is not suddenly | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
going to remove the existence of Isis, it is a threat that will stay | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
there for some period of time. Dominic Grieve, until recently the | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
government's most senior legal adviser said the puzzle was | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
Draconian. There are lots of reasons why people might go to Iraq or | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
Syria, people might be a workers, they might have family in the | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
region, you can't just presume that people going to those countries are | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
going to be involved in jihadist activities. Boris Johnson has said | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
he wants to become a Conservative MP again, telling the Daily Telegraph | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
the government should be tougher on terrorists won't have harmed his | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
chances. Hundreds of people gathered in | :11:33. | :11:41. | |
St Louis, Missouri for the funeral of Michael Brown - | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
the unarmed black teenager shot dead by police more than two weeks ago. | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
His death was followed by a week of rioting and looting that put | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
the issue of race relations back on political agenda in America. | :11:52. | :11:53. | |
Our correspondent Aleem Maqbool isi n St Louis. | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
Yes, hundreds of people, among them the family of Michael Brown, the | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
teenager who was shot dead in Bergson, but also civil rights | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
activists like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, and hundreds of people | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
from the local community, African-Americans mainly. There | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
hasn't been any trouble here of the type of the protests you were | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
talking about, able say just attending this is part of their | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
protest, we have mothers saying they are here because it could have been | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
their son who was shot dead. Others are saying they're going to continue | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
despite until they get justice that means not just justice for Michael | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
Brown and prosecution of the police officer who killed him but also a | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
real change in what happens in ratio between the police and | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
African-American communities across this country. That is the real test, | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
once all these cameras disappear, whether they will be real change, no | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
one is yet sure whether that will happen. | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
isi n St Louis. The government of France has | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
collapsed in a row over the country's faltering economy. | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
Two senior cabinet ministers criticised | :13:01. | :13:01. | |
the current austerity programme, and President Francois Hollande has | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
now asked his prime minister to form a new cabinet by tomorrow. | :13:06. | :13:06. | |
Lucy Williamson reports from Paris. France's latest political crisis | :13:07. | :13:17. | |
grew out of this, a bottle of wine nicknamed recovery by the | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
President's on economy minister who then offered his boss a drink from | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
it. He might as well have called it a humiliation. After losing his job | :13:25. | :13:31. | |
today, he made his point more directly. That France needed to ease | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
up on its austerity policies and head in a different direction. | :13:35. | :13:43. | |
TRANSLATION: The way in which the deficit is being forcibly reduced if | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
sinking all the European economies and what we don't want and what I'm | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
obliged to say, we don't want the European Union to continue its | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
descent into hell. But behind the photos, this family feud has rumbled | :13:57. | :14:06. | |
on for years and it's not just Montebourg without a job today. One | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
by one, France's former Cabinet ministers have been summoned here to | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
the Prime Minister's office to explain why they should keep their | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
jobs. It's a public display of power, designed to show that | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
President Hollande is still in charge. But even if that solves one | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
problem for the president, it could end up creating another one. Even if | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
he can strengthen his control on the government, then the assembly might | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
rebel. If they don't vote for the budget, which is the key issue | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
within the majority, then we will have to go to a general election. | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
Enthusiasm for Francois Hollande is damper than ever here. Uniden 20% of | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
voters believe he can turn things around. He needs to deliver economic | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
gains to stand a chance of real action but with growth stagnant and | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
his party divided, he is struggling to find any shelter from the storm. | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
Lucy Williamson reports from Paris. Leading figures in the movie | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
industry have been remembering the actor and Oscar-winning director | :15:15. | :15:16. | |
Lord Attenborough, who's died at the age of 90. | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
The broadcaster Lord Bragg described him as a man of colossal | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
range, who had done a tremendous amount for the film industry. | :15:23. | :15:24. | |
Our arts editor Will Gompertz looks back at his life. | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
A young Richard Attenborough playing a young Richard his first film role. | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
He was a teenage drama student at the time, he had been talent spotted | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
by Noel Coward, the film's director. It led to this role in which he made | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
his name as a violent and psychotic pinky brown. In the 1947 film | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
adaptation of Graham Greene's novel Brighton Rock. He really was a | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
dreadful young man cometh thirsted for this power and from the power | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
came his ruthlessness. And it was a frightening character to play. | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
Tonight, this is your life. Richard Attenborough was soon a national | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
celebrity much to the amusement of his brothers, John and David. In | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
1969 the actor turned director. The film version of the stage musical oh | :16:26. | :16:34. | |
what a lovely War. And historical drama about a Winston Churchill | :16:35. | :16:43. | |
followed. And then in 1982 came another film about a charismatic | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
leader, Gandhi was an epic in every way. Years in the making, a cast of | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
thousands and when it came to it, awards galore, including an Oscar | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
for the director. In the movies is heaven on earth for me and I would | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
want to go on and on until I fell off a tweak and disappeared. He not | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
only had a knack and talents, think you would call a genius for knowing | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
what to do and for having the persistence to go ahead and do it. | :17:16. | :17:23. | |
He was an extraordinary man, he was the canopy for the British film | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
industry in the last 60 or 70 years. Richard Attenborough was not only | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
one of the most distinguished actors and directors of his generation, he | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
also played a significant part in shaping and's post-war cultural | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
life. He was a president of BAFTA, chairman of the BFI and life | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
president of Chelsea football club. We have lost a wonderful man and a | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
true friend, he loved our football club and he really was an | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
inspiration. There were moments he used to come down to the dressing | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
room, it had a real impact on the team. He used to share with myself | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
and foreign players as a real Chelsea fan back in the day. Richard | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
Attenborough was an end-user stick Labour Party supporter, a compelling | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
social activist and an energetic fundraiser for many charities. He | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
was a compassionate, intelligent and wonderfully wholehearted man. | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
looks back at his life. Richard Attenborough, whose death | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
was announced last night. And there's a special tribute | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
programme to Lord Attenborough tonight on BBC1 at 10.30. | :18:31. | :18:36. |
