:02:49. > :02:52.the same again. Pick a song like Yesterday. George Martin suggested
:02:53. > :03:00.to Paul McCartney adding a string quartet. This was it, and he wrote
:03:01. > :03:07.on it at the top here, by Paul McCartney and John London, George
:03:08. > :03:12.Martin Esquire and Mozart, his reference to the fact that it was a
:03:13. > :03:16.classical piece of music. Born in London, he studied music and in the
:03:17. > :03:21.40s formed a band with his childhood friend, Victor Moore, the fortune
:03:22. > :03:26.tellers. The minute you met him, he knew what he wanted to do, and he
:03:27. > :03:31.told us what he wanted us to do, and we did it. If George said, we are
:03:32. > :03:37.going to do this, we did it. It was normal. He was a natural leader. At
:03:38. > :03:42.EMI, he abused classical and novelty recordings. -- he produced classical
:03:43. > :03:47.recordings. The Beatles were a new departure. He captured their energy
:03:48. > :03:56.and prod them to record their own songs. And at Abbey Road, helped
:03:57. > :04:02.create a completely new sound world. George had done no rock 'n' roll
:04:03. > :04:06.when we met him and we had never been in the studio, so we did a lot
:04:07. > :04:11.of learning together. He had a very great musical knowledge and
:04:12. > :04:15.background. God bless George Martin, were Ringo's words today. Sir Paul
:04:16. > :04:20.McCartney said he was like a second father to me, a true gentleman. In
:04:21. > :04:23.the 60s, every other band was following in their wake. I think
:04:24. > :04:27.George was incredibly important. When you're a band and you have
:04:28. > :04:32.beautiful music like the Beatles had, you need someone to be able to
:04:33. > :04:37.get it out the world, and what George did brilliantly was open that
:04:38. > :04:40.door wide. This is George Martin's own recording studio. When he
:04:41. > :04:44.started out, he didn't know much about pop music, which is perhaps
:04:45. > :04:48.why he was so prepared to break boundaries. But he did understand
:04:49. > :04:54.orchestration, arrangement, and the magical potential of the recording
:04:55. > :04:59.studio. Let's punch up the computer mix. He recorded many famous film
:05:00. > :05:04.scores here. He worked with John, Cilla, Shirley Bassey, Carly Simon,
:05:05. > :05:09.Elvis Costello. For one producer in the 70s, working with the young
:05:10. > :05:15.David Bowie, he was an inspiration. His work, combined with the Beatles,
:05:16. > :05:24.busted open the recording studio, giving it the status of a musical
:05:25. > :05:25.instrument in itself. It was a revolution, and George Martin was
:05:26. > :05:32.there at the very centre of it all. Sir George Martin, who has died
:05:33. > :05:35.today at the age of 90. Five of the men who raided a vault
:05:36. > :05:39.in London's Hatton Garden over the Easter Bank Holiday last year

:06:14. > :06:19.stolen. He was limited in the length of sentences that he could pass,
:06:20. > :06:22.Sikander does a burglary, not a robbery, and because the main
:06:23. > :06:24.ringleaders pleaded guilty. But all the same, he passed the maximum
:06:25. > :06:32.sentences that the law allowed. The reinforced wall, more than a

:06:47. > :06:52.lean into wheelie bins. They made away with ?14 million worth. It was
:06:53. > :06:57.Britain's biggest burglary. Today, the Hatton Garden gang learned their
:06:58. > :07:00.punishments, although 77-year-old Brian Reid was too unwell to be
:07:01. > :07:06.sentenced yet. Terry Perkins was given seven years in prison. So was
:07:07. > :07:10.Kenny Collins, and a fourth ringleader, Danny Jones. Cawood, who
:07:11. > :07:14.lost his nerve halfway through the burglary, but six years, but Bill

:07:19. > :07:24.who have moved the stolen property, was given 21 months suspended. There
:07:25. > :07:27.may be people out there who feel a bit of sympathy in relation to those
:07:28. > :07:31.that were sentenced today. However, these were all colours career
:07:32. > :07:37.criminals who had no thought in relation to the property they stole
:07:38. > :07:41.from the victims. ?4 million worth of stolen jewellery and cash was
:07:42. > :07:46.found by police, some buried in a north London graveyard. But ?10

:07:50. > :07:55.with the game, but has never been identified. He is now the flying
:07:56. > :07:59.squad's most wanted man. The gang gave few clues in their police
:08:00. > :08:06.interviews. What was your role in this burglary? No comment. What
:08:07. > :08:13.specialist skill set have you got which made you valuable on this job?
:08:14. > :08:18.No comment. Were you April? No comment. Secretly filmed here by
:08:19. > :08:22.undercover detectives discussing the highest in the pub, the gang had an
:08:23. > :08:27.average age of 63. So why were they still committing crime? When you are
:08:28. > :08:33.a career criminal, that is your thing. No matter how old you get and
:08:34. > :08:37.how much money you have got, you still get a sort of yearling to be
:08:38. > :08:41.on the front line and do things. Although the gang long sentences for

:09:24. > :09:26.Catherine Middleton, the Queen, at her favourite home, Windsor Castle,
:09:27. > :09:32.was letting rip about the European Union. That, at least, is the claim
:09:33. > :09:37.from an anonymous source to the Sun. Alongside a front-page headline,
:09:38. > :09:41.Queen backs Brexit, the Sun claims that as a lunch in Windsor, the
:09:42. > :09:45.monarch said she believed the EU was heading in the wrong direction. Over
:09:46. > :09:48.the page, the paper says the lunch was attended by the then Deputy
:09:49. > :09:52.Prime Minister Nick Clegg, to whom the remarks were principally
:09:53. > :09:56.directed, and a handful of other ministers. But today, Mr Clegg said
:09:57. > :09:59.he had no recollection of such a conversation. I think it's appalling
:10:00. > :10:06.that the people who want to pull the United Kingdom out of the European
:10:07. > :10:12.Union are now trying to drag the Queen into the European referendum
:10:13. > :10:16.debate. As for the story in the Sun, it's nonsense. It's not true. I
:10:17. > :10:20.couldn't be clearer than that. Buckingham Palace initially stressed
:10:21. > :10:25.the Queen's political neutrality. Later, it confirmed that it was
:10:26. > :10:27.making a formal complaint about the story to the Independent Press
:10:28. > :10:37.Standards Organisation. In response, the Sun said:
:10:38. > :10:44.might this have been the occasion at the centre of the story? The court
:10:45. > :10:48.circular shows that in early April 2011, there was a meeting of the
:10:49. > :10:52.Privy Council at Windsor, attended by Mr Clegg. There was also Michael
:10:53. > :10:57.Gove, then the Education Secretary, and several other ministers. None
:10:58. > :11:02.has made any comment today. So what are we to make of all this? Well,
:11:03. > :11:06.the Queen does ask questions and make observations on occasions, but
:11:07. > :11:11.she doesn't take over the political positions. Her officials point to 64
:11:12. > :11:14.years of pretty punctilious neutrality. They say any idea that

:16:44. > :16:52.gym there was an incredible silence. The air was thick with the smell of

:17:01. > :17:06.first in the streets there were a lot of bands running towards the
:17:07. > :17:11.school. -- a lot of mothers. A friend shouted to me that there was
:17:12. > :17:17.a gunman in the primary school. It was hours with no news. The most
:17:18. > :17:24.incredibly long wait. It was like a form of torture. He was the only one
:17:25. > :17:29.evacuated from the gym that did not survive. I was not with her when she
:17:30. > :17:37.died. That is the thing that I regret most. That is the regret, the

:19:07. > :19:17.For 20 years a compromise on the high streets of England and Wales,
:19:18. > :19:20.customers can trade and shop although shorter hours makes and a
:19:21. > :19:26.different to other days. Now the government thinks councils should be
:19:27. > :19:30.allowed to lift those restrictions, what do shoppers think? I grew up in
:19:31. > :19:34.a Christian family sayings and eight is a day for religious things in
:19:35. > :19:38.church, not shopping. And is frustrating that the shops don't
:19:39. > :19:43.open early enough and you have to wait for 30 minutes before you can
:19:44. > :19:48.pay. I work on Sundays and I find that extra time in the evening gives
:19:49. > :19:52.me time to have dinner with my family. Longer hours would stimulate
:19:53. > :19:57.growth and create jobs, they say, the think the law needs updating to
:19:58. > :20:02.catch up with our shopping habits. After all we can all shop online any
:20:03. > :20:06.time on a Sunday and they say that large shopping centres should be
:20:07. > :20:10.able to compete with that. In Parliament many Conservative MPs
:20:11. > :20:16.agreed, saying it was right to let local areas decide what was best for
:20:17. > :20:19.them. In life we all have to find our own balance and we are all
:20:20. > :20:25.capable of deciding whether we work or shop on Sunday. Yet other Tory
:20:26. > :20:30.MPs threatened to side with Labour and the SNP and oppose the idea.
:20:31. > :20:41.I've heard so many MPs say that, I want to keep Sunday special for my
:20:42. > :20:43.family. Why should shop workers be different? In Scotland extending
:20:44. > :20:45.opening hours already in force yet the SNP in Westminster refuses to
:20:46. > :20:49.support the same measures for England and Wales, saying they want
:20:50. > :20:53.higher rates in Scotland protected. So with defeat on the cards time for
:20:54. > :20:58.the government to come up with a plan. Rather than applying
:20:59. > :21:01.legalisation Nationwide from day one the government will invite local
:21:02. > :21:05.authority is that wished to liberalise hours to apply for
:21:06. > :21:10.participation in an exploratory phase. The sound of a minister
:21:11. > :21:16.backtracking promising to test the idea of longer opening hours in 12
:21:17. > :21:20.areas at first. The owner of this chain of shops which does not open
:21:21. > :21:25.at all on Sundays says it is a matter of priorities. Will they be
:21:26. > :21:29.more money available to open for longer hours? I'm not sure. I think
:21:30. > :21:34.we need to put some family values before money. Today has been a
:21:35. > :21:38.victory for those wanting to protect Sundays at least for now.
:21:39. > :21:43.This has ended in a highly embarrassing defeat for the
:21:44. > :21:46.government, even the offer of compromise rejected by other 30
:21:47. > :21:50.votes. A lot of anger directed at the is an Peter Wright from the
:21:51. > :21:53.government. They have accused them of hypocrisy for failing to support
:21:54. > :21:57.a measure in England and Wales that they already have in Scotland. The
:21:58. > :22:00.truth is though that if the Conservative Party had been united
:22:01. > :22:05.over this they would have got their way. The government has to decide
:22:06. > :22:09.now whether to try again, try to get it through the Lords, maybe bring it

:23:37. > :23:40.the announcement today of a cup of ?30 for a percent is a considerable
:23:41. > :23:44.saving in the years to come. For a long time now the Premier League
:23:45. > :23:49.clubs have defended rising ticket prices by pointing to high levels of
:23:50. > :23:52.demand and the need to maximise match day revenue but today finally

:24:11. > :24:16.with the threat of more protests on the way a big win. Loyalty in the
:24:17. > :24:20.Premier League has come at an ever increasing cost, but the clubs have
:24:21. > :24:27.now agreed to cap a tickets at ?30 the next three seasons. It feels
:24:28. > :24:31.absolutely the right thing to do. We looking at our most loyal fans,
:24:32. > :24:34.those who are almost invariably season-ticket holders, however many
:24:35. > :24:38.away games they go to, the commitment and of course they are
:24:39. > :24:42.going to travel, they are being asked to travel on Monday nights and
:24:43. > :24:46.midweek and therefore to reward them and do something tangible, to butt
:24:47. > :24:51.in place that ?30 cup is to be welcomed. Action like this as well
:24:52. > :24:54.as the passionate atmosphere away fans helped generate has turned the
:24:55. > :25:01.Premier League into a global phenomenon. But with a record new TV
:25:02. > :25:04.deal worth ?8 billion the clubs were under mounting pressure to pass on
:25:05. > :25:11.some of the wealth to their customers. Funds' groups had wanted
:25:12. > :25:19.the tickets to cost no more than ?80 so is the -- ?20, so is this good
:25:20. > :25:25.enough? We've been campaigning for 20 is plenty now, not quite got bad,
:25:26. > :25:28.yet got some way towards it. Stoke fans paid ?50 at Stamford Bridge
:25:29. > :25:33.last Saturday, like me, they will regard this as a good advance
:25:34. > :25:40.although there may be more steps to be taken. Last month thousands of
:25:41. > :25:44.Bull fans voted with their feet -- thousands of Liverpool fans voted
:25:45. > :25:48.with their feet in protest at the prices by walking out at Anfield.
:25:49. > :25:50.Some will feel that the step taken today is a step in the right
:25:51. > :26:02.direction. From flooding across parts of the
:26:03. > :26:05.Midlands, torrential rain in Rutland, one weather watcher sent
:26:06. > :26:09.this picture, they have been out with their cameras, smoke on the
:26:10. > :26:13.high ground, over the Brecon Beacons for example and part of the
:26:14. > :26:18.Pennines, some sunshine in London, hopefully more of this than the
:26:19. > :26:20.other in the next few days, the weather settling down, overnight
:26:21. > :26:25.dampness persisting across parts of eastern England, from
:26:26. > :26:28.Northamptonshire to the ease to Midlands and down to London, clear
:26:29. > :26:32.in the west although this means this is where lower temperatures will be,
:26:33. > :26:37.a shop frost first thing in the morning across the heart of
:26:38. > :26:41.Scotland, a sparkling start to the day, some fog patches, not much of
:26:42. > :26:45.an issue. The northern and western side of England and Wales will enjoy
:26:46. > :26:50.sunshine, compared with the wet and windy weather we saw this morning in
:26:51. > :26:54.that part. A great start further east, again through the south-east
:26:55. > :26:58.and London towards Yorkshire, sunshine for East Anglia, and
:26:59. > :27:02.hopefully within this cloudy zone things will improve a little but
:27:03. > :27:07.don't hold your breath, it will probably stay a bit grey and as a
:27:08. > :27:11.consequence, quite cool. Some sunshine although it will cloud over
:27:12. > :27:16.across Northern Ireland, the best of the sunshine, where it will stay
:27:17. > :27:20.grey, perhaps no more than six or 7 degrees. Into Friday, more fine
:27:21. > :27:25.weather for England and Wales, variable cloud in the central area,
:27:26. > :27:28.maybe staying cloudier, thicker cloud for northern and western
:27:29. > :27:33.Scotland, wet weather coming in here. The message for the weekend is
:27:34. > :27:37.optimistic, most areas will be dry, hopefully you will see sunshine,
:27:38. > :27:44.although with fairly chilly nights. George. Thank you.
:27:45. > :27:46.In a moment we'll join the BBC's news teams where you are.
:27:47. > :27:49.But before that we leave you with some images
:27:50. > :27:54.of Sir George Martin, who produced the Beatles,
:27:55. > :28:05.George had done little or no rock and roll when we met him and we had
:28:06. > :28:26.never been in a studio so we did a lot of learning together.
