David Bowie - rock star, cultural icon and actor - | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
From his breakthrough album in the 1970s - | :00:08. | :00:23. | |
Decade after decade he re-shaped his music and re-invented himself. | :00:24. | :00:36. | |
I got besotted with the idea of creating character after character. | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
I just had to accept I was a person with a very short attention span. | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
From the famous to the fans, they all celebrate a rare talent - | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
Ground control to Major Tom. Great British icon and a gentleman and a | :00:51. | :01:16. | |
legend. I never thought this day was going to come. | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
David Bowie released his last album just days ago with the lyrics | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
Aid begins to arrive in the besieged Syrian town of Madaya | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
while parts of northern England were under water. | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
On Reporting Scotland, and Argyle man is jailed for five years in | :01:36. | :01:45. | |
India on weapons charges. His family said it is a miscarriage of justice. | :01:46. | :01:55. | |
And a suspected case of bird flu is found in Fife but experts say the | :01:56. | :01:56. | |
risk to the public is minimal. Good evening and welcome | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
to the BBC News at Six. Tributes have been pouring in all | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
day following the announcement that David Bowie has died in New York | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
after being ill with cancer. In a career spanning six decades | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
Bowie transcended music, becoming a cultural icon whose | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
influence was felt in the worlds of fashion, art and even | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
Cold War politics. While other singers had | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
their trademark sound, Our Arts Editor Will Gompertz looks | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
back at the man and his music. Here is a special man, with screwed | :02:26. | :02:41. | |
up our eyes and screwed down hairdo. It's David Bowie, it's 1972 and this | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
is his game changing altar ego. I'm only using rock and roll as a | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
medium. I don't think it had been voiced before then. I wanted to be | :02:55. | :03:06. | |
the instigator of new ideas, I wanted to turn things on to new | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
ideas and perspectives, wanted to be Born David Jones and brought up in | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
suburban south London, he restyled himself as David Bowie and in | :03:14. | :03:25. | |
1969, presented his strange world of alienation and ambiguity, misfits. | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
The older generation were bemused, the | :03:29. | :03:38. | |
rockers dismissive. But teenagers in | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
bedrooms from Devon to Dundee were transfixed, last here was somebody | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
who understood them. He would try | :03:49. | :04:00. | |
things. People laughed about his crossdressing, but he did it | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
because he wanted to know was like. I have so much admiration | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
for him. He had that clever thing of creating the persona on stage which | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
was fantastic. When he had enough of that person, he could bring | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
another one on board. He made plain his artistic | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
modus operandi with Just going to have | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
to be a different man. It is looking at an actor's films | :04:29. | :04:39. | |
and taking clippings and saying That is different | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
to most rock stars. I am not a rock star, | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
I am not in rock and roll. The singer-songwriter | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
and performance artist became transfixed by the idea | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
of creating character after character in an act | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
of pop post-modernism. Ziggy Stardust became | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
the Thin White Duke. transatlantic success for this | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
bizarre British export. I get the weirdest reactions | :05:08. | :05:18. | |
from people who know you are going to be on, | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
some of them would be scared to talk to you, some people | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
would say that you would Nothing that you have seen or heard | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
from David Bowie will prepare you for the dramatic | :05:27. | :05:49. | |
performance in The David Bowie was an actor, | :05:50. | :05:50. | |
he started out as a mime artist followed by his various | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
stage personas and in 1976 he took a starring role in | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
this arthouse film. His next stop was Germany, | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
he moved to Berlin where he made a trip to you critically | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
acclaimed albums with # We could be heroes | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
just for one day... His | :06:07. | :06:21. | |
observation of this shifting social behaviours meant was often | :06:22. | :06:32. | |
at the forefront of change from raising gender | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
issues to embracing - Let's Dance was a massive | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
international and commercial success Artistically and aesthetically | :06:37. | :06:50. | |
it was probably my Over the past decade he retreated | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
from public life but continued to make records and pursued | :06:57. | :07:04. | |
creative collaborations. He released his final | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
album, Black Star True to form, it was | :07:11. | :07:23. | |
innovative and in anticipating his own | :07:24. | :07:24. | |
death, visionary. David Bowie was born in Brixton, | :07:25. | :07:36. | |
south London and today fans have been leaving flowers and lighting | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
candles next to a mural Whether it's New York, | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
where Bowie lived or Berlin, where he wrote some of his most | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
famous tracks, people have been talking about how he | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
influenced their lives. Our Arts Correspondent David Sillito | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
has been listening to reaction that. He was a real person. A | :07:52. | :08:49. | |
creator. Brixton, his birthplace, Berlin, his creative escape. And | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
this, the place made famous by the legendary album cover. This is the | :08:55. | :09:04. | |
spot. You can still see the gaslamp. For most of us, this is as close as | :09:05. | :09:13. | |
you ever got to David Barry. For his fans, he was like an alien who had | :09:14. | :09:21. | |
arrived in strange clothes -- David Bowie. What he did was give people | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
permission to live their lives differently. He probably saved my | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
life, through his lyrics and songs differently. He probably saved my | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
and attitude. When I was a troubled teenager. I actually appear on this | :09:40. | :09:47. | |
record. David Bowie has been part of my life since I first met him in | :09:48. | :09:56. | |
1967 so it feels like a major pet prop has been knocked away. Among | :09:57. | :10:07. | |
the tributes... Madonna, Sir Paul McCartney and the man who helped | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
create some of his greatest albums, Brian Eno. He said I received an | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
e-mail seven days ago, it ended, thank you for our good times, Brian. | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
They will never rot. I realise now he was saying goodbye. | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
David Bowie stretched musical boundaries - | :10:29. | :10:29. | |
His willingness to challenge convention influenced what people | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
Some have said he changed the face of modern Britain. | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
Our Home Editor Mark Easton looks at the huge influence David Bowie | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
David Bowie provided a changing soundtrack to the formative years | :10:44. | :10:56. | |
But across the decades he was also an advocate for imagination, | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
A 17-year-old David Jones has just founded the Society | :11:03. | :11:13. | |
for the prevention of cruelty to long-haired men. | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
In 1964 the boy from south London was interviewed by the BBC, | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
For the last two years we've had comments like, | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
I think it just has to stop now. thrown at us. | :11:24. | :11:33. | |
Britain has become far more tolerant of difference. | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
The cultural influence of David Bowie provided the social fuel for | :11:41. | :11:48. | |
that revolution. I have found I collect, I am a collector. I collect | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
personalities. His artistry and energy prodded Britain towards the | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
global creative powerhouse it has become. He was fearless, courageous, | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
innovative, he kept on changing, and he's had a massive impact on the way | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
this country is seen by the world as the most creative nation on earth. A | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
retrospective put together by the V documented his influence into | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
every corner of creative space, fashion, digital technology, design, | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
sexuality. He declared he was gay and always have been and he was | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
pushing a pram and had a wife. He was very provocative, he played with | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
the media. In presenting that vision, being super cool, looking | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
gorgeous, he changed the minds of millions. We are asking you to cut | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
down to the absolute minimum the use of electricity for heating and for | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
other purposes in your homes. In grey, troubled Britain, David Bowie | :12:52. | :13:00. | |
was a colourful antidote. Glam rock star man cultural conformity. He | :13:01. | :13:08. | |
gave space to strangeness and made it cool. If he defined what it meant | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
to be young and smart, for many British Abie Boomers he was also a | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
companion when it came to getting older. He never lost his sense of | :13:20. | :13:28. | |
urgency and vitality and creativity right up to his death. Some will | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
wonder what the fuss is about, he was not to everyone's taste. But | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
when the British team stepped into the Olympic Stadium it was David | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
Bowie who provided the anthem. He is a hero to many. A man who changed | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
the way the world sees Britain and Britain sees itself. | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
Well, our Arts Editor Will Gompertz is here, he was much more | :13:57. | :13:58. | |
He was a great artist. Plain and simple. Like any true artist, what | :13:59. | :14:10. | |
he was able to do was reflect the world back to us, in a way that not | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
only helped us make sense of it but opened it up, ask us questions. Help | :14:14. | :14:22. | |
us understand ourselves. Those personas he too gone. Character | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
after character. It was helpful for us because he shifted as the Times | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
shifted. We grew up with him. He remained relevant. What was crucial | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
about him, what he said was universal. Those characters were not | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
just awed folk. They were versions of the Everyman. They were coming up | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
with themes which are important to all of us. When we show our own | :14:48. | :14:58. | |
children David Bowie, even 13-year-olds, quite extraordinary. I | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
called him the Picasso of pop in the way that he synthesised ideas of the | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
modern age and make sense of them in beautiful, precise pieces of work, | :15:07. | :15:07. | |
pieces of art. And there will be a special | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
programme on the life and music of of David Bowie on BBC One | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
a little later tonight. That's David Bowie - | :15:18. | :15:19. | |
Sound and Vision - We've been reporting on the death of | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
David Bowie - musical superstar and And still to come, last minute pleas | :15:23. | :15:37. | |
for junior doctors in England How some of the country's biggest | :15:38. | :15:54. | |
counties are not taking of the most polluting vehicles on the road. | :15:55. | :16:05. | |
An aid convoy carrying a month's supply of food, | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
medicine and winter clothing, has entered the besieged Syrian town | :16:09. | :16:10. | |
40,000 people are trapped there by a government blockade | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
and they've received no food since October. | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
There are reports that some have starved to death. | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
The convoy left Damascus this morning. | :16:21. | :16:21. | |
Our chief international correspondent, Lyse Doucet reports. | :16:22. | :16:29. | |
Aid finally arrived in Madaya just as darkness fell. | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
Cheers of joy and relief rose from the crowds. | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
Thousands waited all day in the cold at this barrier at the entrance | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
Many had been living on boiled grass. | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
Look at what we're eating, this woman wails. | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
This cry for help was filmed by activists. | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
But the UN says it has credible reports that people have | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
Food, blankets, medicine will be unloaded in warehouses tonight. | :17:01. | :17:09. | |
And the same mission is now underway in northern Syria in two villages | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
In this conflict, food is used by all sides as a weapon of war. | :17:14. | :17:23. | |
Images said to be Madaya's emaciated children raised alarm in many | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
This is now the face of Syria's suffering. | :17:30. | :17:37. | |
Today's aid will help ease this crisis but it's not enough. | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
We know that in the city there is around 40,000 people | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
We are taking in supplies that should feed them for a month. | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
But what we really need is access all the time to ensure this | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
The lorries will keep moving if there are no other delays. | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
But missions like this are urgently needed across Syria. | :18:00. | :18:01. | |
4.5 million people are living in desperate conditions, | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
The Chairman of the Environment Agency, Sir Phillip Dilley, | :18:04. | :18:16. | |
has resigned following criticism over his handling of | :18:17. | :18:17. | |
Sir Phillip was summoned before MPs after it emerged | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
he was at his holiday home in Barbados while parts | :18:22. | :18:23. | |
of the country battled severe weather. | :18:24. | :18:25. | |
Our Science Editor David Shukman is here. | :18:26. | :18:37. | |
This happened over Christmas, why is he only resigning now? Yesterday | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
they dug up new details, the newspapers about their holiday in | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
Barbados. MPs from both sides of the house representing victims of the | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
flooding Lancashire and Yorkshire, he was enjoying the Caribbean. In a | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
statement this evening, he said he thought the job was part-time, three | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
days per week. He said he never realised he would be on-call around | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
the clock short notice but he will not get much sympathy. Before this | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
blew up, he said it would be a good thing for someone in his position | :19:13. | :19:14. | |
blew up, he said it would be a good turn up at flood events and | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
blew up, he said it would be a good was happening, to see if he could | :19:18. | :19:17. | |
help but this comes as was happening, to see if he could | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
review into flood defences. was happening, to see if he could | :19:23. | :19:24. | |
holiday in the sun at the was happening, to see if he could | :19:25. | :19:26. | |
was becoming a distraction. Thank you. | :19:27. | :19:55. | |
he compiled a video diary of his shifts on Saturday and Sunday. | :19:56. | :20:05. | |
could mean longer hours and reduced pay. | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
In its current form, this contract will stretch already | :20:09. | :20:16. | |
demoralised and overstretched junior doctors to a breaking point. | :20:17. | :20:18. | |
But the government says many doctors will be better off and protected | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
It will be damaging and we will do everything we can to mitigate | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
its effects but you can't have a strike of this scale | :20:29. | :20:30. | |
in our NHS without there being some real difficulties for patients. | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
Hospitals like Milton Keynes University Hospital have made | :20:38. | :20:39. | |
contingency plans for the junior doctors walk-out which will affect | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
Other patients have been told their appointments have been | :20:43. | :20:59. | |
postponed although some will go ahead involving consultants | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
who are not affected by the industrial action. | :21:02. | :21:03. | |
Across England, more than 1400 in patient and more than 2500 | :21:04. | :21:05. | |
outpatient procedures and appointments have been put off | :21:06. | :21:07. | |
Because it is the not knowing that is the horrid part. | :21:08. | :21:20. | |
Doctors like Henry will walk out tomorrow but talks will continue | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
in the hope of averting two further planned strikes. | :21:23. | :21:33. | |
The Justice Secretary, Michael Gove, is to meet officials from G4S | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
after allegations of abuse and mistreatment at a young | :21:37. | :21:38. | |
offenders' institution run by the company. | :21:39. | :21:40. | |
The claims, to be aired tonight on the BBC's Panorama programme, | :21:41. | :21:42. | |
centre on the Medway Secure Training Centre, | :21:43. | :21:44. | |
Here's our social affairs correspondent Alison Holt. | :21:45. | :22:04. | |
This is Medway secure training centre in Kent, | :22:05. | :22:06. | |
here 12-17 year olds who have committed crimes | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
Panarama were able to see first-hand the way some trainees were treated. | :22:11. | :22:18. | |
Filming secretly, he witnessed some staff slapping some children. | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
The teenagers are challenging, this 14-year-old is trying to wind | :22:23. | :22:31. | |
up a male member of staff on the other side of the door | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
but rather than calming the situation, when the boy appears | :22:35. | :22:36. | |
radio, the man moves in rapidly to restrain him. | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
The programme shows one has his fingers on the boy's | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
windpipe as he complained he can't breathe. | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
More generally, some staff appeared to deliver the hide their actions | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
The Justice Secretary told MPs he will meet officials | :22:55. | :23:03. | |
from the company that runs Medway tomorrow, | :23:04. | :23:05. | |
We must treat these allegations with the utmost seriousness. | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
Kent Police and Medway child protection team are investigating | :23:11. | :23:12. | |
matters on the basis of the information shared with them | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
The police will decide in due course whether criminal charges | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
G4S has suspended seven staff, it has already said it is shocked | :23:19. | :23:27. | |
by the allegations and that with others involved in safeguarding | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
children at Medway, it will investigate thoroughly but it | :23:31. | :23:32. | |
won't comment further until it has seen the programme. | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
You can see the story in full on | :23:39. | :23:40. | |
Panorama: Teenage Prison Abuse Exposed, on BBC One, | :23:41. | :23:42. | |
Anglican church leaders from around the world are meeting in Canterbury, | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
hoping to resolve differences over homosexuality and women clerics. | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
There's a deep divide within the church, | :23:53. | :23:53. | |
with African bishops threatening to walk out. | :23:54. | :23:55. | |
Our religious affairs correspondent Caroline Wyatt | :23:56. | :23:56. | |
Through the ages, Canterbury Cathedral has seen | :23:57. | :24:07. | |
many of its archbishops martyred for their faith. | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
Its archbishop today, Justin Welby, has been trying to resolve | :24:11. | :24:12. | |
the future of the Anglican Communion and bring together liberals | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
and conservatives to bridge the divides over homosexuality. | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
There are deep divisions within individual churches | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
I think I would be disappointed if, at the end of the week, | :24:26. | :24:36. | |
it just looked like a fudge, like papering over the issues. | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
What happens if some of the primates, as we've heard | :24:40. | :24:41. | |
they might, actually do walk out of the meeting, | :24:42. | :24:43. | |
some of the most conservative primates? | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
If they decide to leave, that is up to them. | :24:48. | :24:54. | |
We are a Communion, but each church is autonomous. | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
So, will the most traditionalists from Africa and elsewhere really | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
walk out of this meeting angry with churches that have | :25:04. | :25:05. | |
When the North Americans took their stand, it | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
Therefore, there has been trouble getting together all this time | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
So it is possible that that trouble will continue and it will manifest | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
itself in folk having to leave the meeting, and I understand that. | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
Clergyman Jeremy Davies wants the primates here to | :25:25. | :25:26. | |
stand up for gay people, especially in Africa. | :25:27. | :25:28. | |
He married his long-term partner Simon, despite the Church | :25:29. | :25:30. | |
of England's ban on same-sex marriage. | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
The church has an opportunity to be prophetic about it, | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
to stand up against not only the vilification of gay people | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
but the way they are oppressed and abused, and often put to death. | :25:42. | :25:50. | |
The primates will come together here to pray. | :25:51. | :25:52. | |
So far, we are told, the meeting is going well. | :25:53. | :25:55. | |

Time for a look at the weather - here's Sarah Keith-Lucas. | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
It has been a day of sunny spells and heavy showers. That was captured | :26:08. | :26:18. | |
nicely by a weather watcher. Dark shower clouds looming. Heavy showers | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
set to continue through the course of this evening and overnight. Low | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
pressure firmly in charge towards the east. Rotating around that | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
low-pressure, brisk winds and heavy showers. Severe gales in parts of | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
western Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Irish Sea coasts in | :26:36. | :26:42. | |
particular. 1-6 degrees Celsius in towns and cities but cold in the | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
countryside. Could be some frost and icy stretches first thing on Tuesday | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
morning. Take care on an treated services, slippery roads and icy | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
patches. Another day of sunny intervals but blustery showers. | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
Heavy showers across parts of Scotland falling as snow on top of | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
the hills. A chance of hail and thunder in Northern Ireland mixed in | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
with showers. Sunny intervals and showers in northern England. | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
Blustery winds in the Irish Sea. Hill snow in central Wales but South | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
and Southern and central England, dry and bright weather. It will feel | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
cold, particularly exposed to the north breeze. Wind chill in | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
tomorrow's forecast. The heaviest showers out of Northern Ireland, in | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
the Midlands. Hill snow for parts of Wales and Scotland. Drier, brighter | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
weather with sunshine. Highs of 5-8 degrees Celsius. Typical but turning | :27:41. | :27:43. | |
colder through the course of this week. Feeling more like winter and | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
less like spring. In a moment the news where you are - | :27:48. | :27:50. | |
but before we go another look back at David Bowie's | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
incredible life and work. | :27:55. | :27:56. |
