:02:13. > :02:17.He was a former commander of the IRA which, in the 70s and 80s,

:02:30. > :02:32.to politics, playing a key role in bringing peace
:02:33. > :02:40.Our Ireland Correspondent, Chris Buckler, looks back at a life
:02:41. > :03:03.Martin McGuinness's personal history is tied to Northern Ireland's past.
:03:04. > :03:09.During the years of violence coming he was one of the faces of IRA
:03:10. > :03:15.leadership. His face has changed since he used to swagger around the
:03:16. > :03:23.no-go areas of Londonderry. His own politics were formed in the turmoil
:03:24. > :03:31.of those decades of unrest. Martin McGuinness, he believed in our
:03:32. > :03:36.people, people he decided who should be free and he believed in
:03:37. > :03:41.reconciliation. Born in Londonderry into a large Catholic family, he
:03:42. > :03:46.came of age as the divisions deepened, ripping communities apart.
:03:47. > :03:55.In that time of violence, she joined the IRA, quickly rising through its
:03:56. > :04:02.ranks. The first body I saw was that of a youth... By 1972 when British
:04:03. > :04:06.soldiers shot dead civil rights protesters in Derry, he was the
:04:07. > :04:13.second in command in the city. It is alleged he was armed with a
:04:14. > :04:17.submachine gun that day. What had started as a fighter civil rights
:04:18. > :04:24.had become a vicious battle. The IRA had a disregard for life. They were
:04:25. > :04:29.responsible for attacks, including bombing Brighton's grand hotel in
:04:30. > :04:34.1984. Lord Tebbit and his wife Margaret, was seriously injured.
:04:35. > :04:41.Today he said he hoped Martin McGuinness was parked in and
:04:42. > :04:47.particularly hot part of hell. He knew the IRA had been elevated to
:04:48. > :04:52.its highest levels and he would have been arrested and charged with many
:04:53. > :04:59.murders he personally committed. So he opted for the Coward's way out
:05:00. > :05:02.and said, I am a man of peace. Martin McGuinness did see
:05:03. > :05:08.opportunities at the ballot box for Sinn Fein. The political party
:05:09. > :05:11.linked to the IRA. Even then, the language of threat remained. We do
:05:12. > :05:15.believe winning elections and any amount of votes will bring freedom
:05:16. > :05:23.to Ireland. It will be the cutting edge of the IRA which will bring
:05:24. > :05:27.freedom. After years of killings and chaos, IRA ceasefires the
:05:28. > :05:32.opportunity for talks between unionists and Republicans. Would you
:05:33. > :05:38.like to shake hands? Would you? I am prepared to. There are some people
:05:39. > :05:46.who will always remember him as the man of war and can never forget the
:05:47. > :05:50.violence of his early years, but for those of us who helped put together
:05:51. > :05:58.the Northern Ireland peace process with him, we will remember his
:05:59. > :06:02.legacy as the man of peace. The Good Friday agreement, which Martin
:06:03. > :06:05.McGuinness helped negotiate laid the foundation for a political
:06:06. > :06:09.breakthrough, a power-sharing government at storm on. And
:06:10. > :06:14.eventually at its head, was the unlikely partnership of two former
:06:15. > :06:19.enemies, Ian Paisley and Martin McGuinness. The firebrand unionist
:06:20. > :06:26.and radical Republican became so closed, they were nicknamed The
:06:27. > :06:30.Chuckle Brothers. That remarkable journey is important. I must say as
:06:31. > :06:34.a Christian and a person who reflects on life, it is not how you
:06:35. > :06:43.started your life that is important, but how you finish your life. There
:06:44. > :06:45.were Republicans who continued to threaten that political progress.
:06:46. > :06:48.But when a police officer was killed, the then Deputy First
:06:49. > :06:53.Minister stood side-by-side with the Chief Constable to condemn the
:06:54. > :06:58.dissident groups. They are traitors to Northern Ireland. Alongside the
:06:59. > :07:03.words, there were actions on both sides. The Queen's cousin Lord
:07:04. > :07:07.Mountbatten was killed by the IRA, but after the troubles, they were
:07:08. > :07:16.able to put their differences aside. Thank you very much. No one can
:07:17. > :07:21.forget the past, but I think we can equally look at the contribution
:07:22. > :07:27.Martin did play. His real focus on reconciliation and reaching out to
:07:28. > :07:32.different communities. But there remained deep divisions at storm on.
:07:33. > :07:35.And when Martin McGuinness walked out of government this year, it was
:07:36. > :07:40.a sign of the political challenges still ahead. They would be faced by
:07:41. > :07:48.others. Ill-health had already forced him to retire after a decade
:07:49. > :07:57.as Northern Ireland's Deputy First Minister. Even though it breaks my
:07:58. > :08:07.heart... My heart lies in the Bogside and with the people of
:08:08. > :08:12.Derry. In painting a true picture of Martin McGuinness, you have to
:08:13. > :08:18.accept contradictions. His IRA past full-colour many people'sviews of
:08:19. > :08:22.him, but as a Republican who worked towards reconciliation, he will be
:08:23. > :08:34.remembered as a key figure in changing Northern Ireland.
:08:35. > :08:52.As we've heard, he spoke about his roots in Londonderry. Hundreds walk
:08:53. > :08:55.behind his coughing as Martin McGuinness's coughing was taken to
:08:56. > :09:01.his family home. These are the streets he grew up in and in the
:09:02. > :09:05.nationalists Bogside area, they came to pay their respects. I don't think
:09:06. > :09:12.anybody wanted to be here watching this today, but I am very proud to
:09:13. > :09:15.be from this city and seeing the cortege, as I saluted Martin
:09:16. > :09:23.McGuinness as he passed because he has done so much for this town, the
:09:24. > :09:28.Bogside, Derry. It is a view echoed here. Martin McGuinness is
:09:29. > :09:33.remembered as a leader who backed projects like this community Centre
:09:34. > :09:39.to help the poor and vulnerable. Derry itself is in mourning. The
:09:40. > :09:51.people are heartbroken. It is very sad. Martin has been here for as
:09:52. > :09:56.long as I can remember. It is a huge loss to this community and the city
:09:57. > :10:01.and the north of Ireland in general. In the heart of the Bogside,
:10:02. > :10:06.Republican flags were at half-mast. Here, they remember those who
:10:07. > :10:11.fought. Martin McGuinness was a towering figure in this city. For
:10:12. > :10:18.many, he was their champion and today they mourn. But for others,
:10:19. > :10:23.the past can never be forgotten. The Enniskillen bombing was one of the
:10:24. > :10:27.worst atrocities of the IRA, 11 people died and more than 60 were
:10:28. > :10:33.injured when a bomb exploded near a war memorial on Remembrance Sunday.
:10:34. > :10:40.As a human being, I don't gloat in his death. But I still won't send
:10:41. > :10:45.the family a sympathy card because I got most of the day card when my
:10:46. > :10:50.daddy and my mummy died. They died at the hands of the IRA in
:10:51. > :10:55.Enniskillen and it will be 30 years and nobody has ever been brought to
:10:56. > :11:02.justice. Martin McGuinness was implicated in it and he will go to
:11:03. > :11:06.his grave with secrets. At times, Derry was prominent in Northern
:11:07. > :11:10.Ireland's troubles and Martin McGuinness's life was bound up in
:11:11. > :11:13.this city. His funeral will take place on Thursday.
:11:14. > :11:16.One of the victims of the IRA bombing campaign was Tim Parry,
:11:17. > :11:19.who was 12 when he was killed in an attack on Warrington
:11:20. > :11:23.Today his father Colin, who set up a charity in his name,
:11:24. > :11:25.said while he didn't forgive Martin McGuiness, he did
:11:26. > :11:28.believe he was sincere in his desire for peace.
:11:29. > :11:31.Our correspondent Judith Moritz has been speaking to families of those
:11:32. > :11:48.In March 1993, Northern Ireland's troubles came to Warrington. Two
:11:49. > :11:53.bombs exploded in the town centre, injuring many and killing two young
:11:54. > :12:00.boys. Three-year-old Johnathan Ball and Tim Parry, who was 12. The
:12:01. > :12:04.killing of Jonathan and Tim was wrong. Years later, Martin
:12:05. > :12:08.McGuinness said the attack had been shameful and the parents decided to
:12:09. > :12:13.work together with the former IRA commander who visited the peace
:12:14. > :12:17.Centre be built. Having the challenge of meeting this man who
:12:18. > :12:21.was seen as an ogre, as a merchant of death, or whatever, by the
:12:22. > :12:28.British generally. For me, coming face to face was quite unsettling.
:12:29. > :12:35.We spoke man to man, there was no rancour, there was no... Criticism
:12:36. > :12:38.of one by the other. It was a meaningful set of conversations
:12:39. > :12:45.every time I met him. Would you go so far as to say you were friends?
:12:46. > :12:53.No, not friends. Yesterday was the anniversary of the Warrington bomb.
:12:54. > :12:56.24 years on, the two young children will never be forgotten and the
:12:57. > :12:58.death of Martin McGuinness has prompted very mixed feelings in this
:12:59. > :13:05.community. There has been a lot of pain with the IRA but there has also
:13:06. > :13:11.been peace. I remember when he went to meet the Queen. I never thought I
:13:12. > :13:15.would see that in my lifetime. There was no way you could justify what
:13:16. > :13:19.they did, planting bombs in dustbins in the streets, planting bombs in
:13:20. > :13:22.pubs to kill indiscriminately, there is no justification for that and
:13:23. > :13:28.there never will be. I live in Warrington and I know there is many
:13:29. > :13:33.here who feel the same. In 1974, people died when the IRA bomb two
:13:34. > :13:37.Birmingham pubs. Some of their relatives said they will never be
:13:38. > :13:41.able to forgive him. How can a change, you can never forget what he
:13:42. > :13:46.did it in is pass, which is what everybody seems to be forgetting. He
:13:47. > :13:54.has blood on his hands and he allegedly has killed people. How is
:13:55. > :13:58.it possible to forget that? In Warrington, Tim Parry's parents also
:13:59. > :14:02.say they cannot forgive, but they add, working with Martin McGuinness
:14:03. > :14:04.has helped them make peace the legacy of their son's death.
:14:05. > :14:06.Let's go back to our Ireland Correspondent,
:14:07. > :14:18.A controversial figure but an important figure, what sort of gap
:14:19. > :14:23.does he leave behind? I think in some ways, for both unionists and
:14:24. > :14:27.Republicans, he leaves behind an important figure because he was a
:14:28. > :14:31.negotiator, somebody who understood compromise. That was important in
:14:32. > :14:35.setting up the power-sharing government 's. Storm on the at the
:14:36. > :14:40.moment is in a period of crisis and they need someone who can act in
:14:41. > :14:49.that way, bring the two sides together. And act, as Martin
:14:50. > :14:54.McGuinness often did, as someone who is appear to be statesman so many
:14:55. > :14:58.times. It is easy to look back on someone's live to paint them as a
:14:59. > :15:02.hero or villain, and that is so much more true when it comes to Martin
:15:03. > :15:06.McGuinness. He was always someone who saw the advantage in moving
:15:07. > :15:12.things forward as well, politically. If you look behind be here at the
:15:13. > :15:16.Bogside in Derry where he lived, the conflicts cause so much hurt and
:15:17. > :15:20.anger, there are still paintings on the wall but show those days of
:15:21. > :15:24.violence. Perhaps the important legacy for Martin McGuinness is to
:15:25. > :15:31.ensure history isn't repeated. Chris, thank you very much.
:15:32. > :15:36.Our main headline... Martin McGuinness, the former IRA commander
:15:37. > :15:41.who became a key figure in the Northern Ireland peace process, has
:15:42. > :15:44.died. And still to come - Nicola Sturgeon pushes her case for a
:15:45. > :15:47.second independence referendum for Scotland.
:15:48. > :15:50.Coming up in Sportsday on BBC News - a review by UK Athletics finds
:15:51. > :15:53.that the classification system for para-athletes is open to abuse
:15:54. > :16:03.It follows concerns raised in the lead-up to Rio 2016.
:16:04. > :16:05.Britain is introducing new security measures on planes which will see
:16:06. > :16:09.passengers banned from taking on laptops, tablets and some phones
:16:10. > :16:11.in their hand luggage, on flights from several
:16:12. > :16:15.The move, announced this afternoon, follows similar
:16:16. > :16:18.restrictions announced by US authorities overnight.
:16:19. > :16:20.Our security correspondent Frank Gardner looks at what has
:16:21. > :16:30.prompted this latest tightening of airline security.
:16:31. > :16:37.Familiar, tedious, time-consuming. Getting laptops and other devices
:16:38. > :16:41.through airport security on direct flights from the Middle East to the
:16:42. > :16:44.UK is about to get even more complicated. Anything bigger than a
:16:45. > :16:50.smartphone will now have to go in the hold. British Airways, easyJet
:16:51. > :16:56.and four other UK airlines are affected. So, too, are eight Middle
:16:57. > :17:00.Eastern and North Africa and Karius. It follows a similar measure
:17:01. > :17:03.introduced by the United States. The list of affected airlines was
:17:04. > :17:06.published today by the Government, which says the security of the
:17:07. > :17:10.travelling public is its highest priority. So what has prompted this?
:17:11. > :17:14.Last year's laptop bomb on board this flight out of Somalia raised a
:17:15. > :17:20.lot of concerns. Smuggled aboard either group tosh about, it blew a
:17:21. > :17:24.hole inside the plane, killing the bomb. Amazingly, the pilot was able
:17:25. > :17:29.to land it safely. The year before, so-called Islamic State put a bomb
:17:30. > :17:33.on a passenger plane out of Egypt, killing everyone on board. That
:17:34. > :17:37.device was in the hold, where the new ban on laptops does not apply.
:17:38. > :17:41.In Whitehall, the BBC understands, there were some concerns about
:17:42. > :17:46.introducing this ban. It is not based on any specific plot, rather
:17:47. > :17:50.an evolving threat. There is bound to be a commercial and diplomatic
:17:51. > :17:54.price for this. It is also yet one more encumbrance for air passengers.
:17:55. > :17:58.I'm afraid to say that the scope for disruption is immense. First people
:17:59. > :18:03.will get the wrong end of many sticks, they will think it applies
:18:04. > :18:09.to all flights from the UK, as well as from these six countries. And of
:18:10. > :18:13.course, people will have organised hand baggage only flights and they
:18:14. > :18:18.will suddenly need to check things in. It is going to be, I'm afraid,
:18:19. > :18:23.an almighty muddle and till we get used to the idea. Business
:18:24. > :18:26.travellers who need to work in mid flight will be especially
:18:27. > :18:30.inconvenienced. And there is no end to the ban in sight. A ban on taking
:18:31. > :18:32.liquids over 100 millilitres introduced in 11 years ago is still
:18:33. > :18:34.in place. The rising cost of food,
:18:35. > :18:37.fuel and electronic goods have pushed inflation to its highest
:18:38. > :18:40.level for three-and-a-half years. Last month, prices
:18:41. > :18:41.rose 2.3%, compared It was a bigger jump than expected
:18:42. > :18:49.and at least part of it is due to the fall in the value
:18:50. > :18:51.of the pound since Our economics editor,
:18:52. > :18:54.Kamal Ahmed, has more. Whether it's the food we buy
:18:55. > :18:58.or the fuel we fill up on, or the laptop we want
:18:59. > :19:02.or the upgraded television, prices are rising, as inflation
:19:03. > :19:06.creeps back into the UK economy. Today, it hit 2.3%,
:19:07. > :19:09.the highest since 2013 Part of what is going
:19:10. > :19:20.on is the effect of a fall in the price of sterling,
:19:21. > :19:25.following the referendum. But there is often a number
:19:26. > :19:30.of factors that will be going on. We've also seen commodity prices
:19:31. > :19:32.around the world starting to rise, So, there are often
:19:33. > :19:36.a number of factors, So, this is our workshop,
:19:37. > :19:41.this is where we do... Rob runs a kitchen
:19:42. > :19:43.business in Sheffield. For him, rising prices
:19:44. > :19:48.are a headache. We've had price rises
:19:49. > :19:50.on appliances and on components One reason we get them
:19:51. > :19:55.in from Europe is the quality is there, which we don't have
:19:56. > :19:57.in the UK. So, price rises on all
:19:58. > :19:59.of those things. And it's very difficult for us
:20:00. > :20:01.to pass all of those price rises on to our customers
:20:02. > :20:06.in a very competitive market. Rising inflation has raised fresh
:20:07. > :20:14.fears over a pay squeeze. In 2015, our incomes were increasing
:20:15. > :20:16.at an average of 2.8%. At that time, prices
:20:17. > :20:20.were only going up by 0.4%. Since then, inflation has
:20:21. > :20:25.been increasing, today, For incomes, they did rise a little
:20:26. > :20:31.but are now falling, to the same The consumer has kept spending
:20:32. > :20:40.since the referendum, keeping the UK economy purring
:20:41. > :20:44.along pretty nicely. But a recent survey of thousands
:20:45. > :20:49.of consumers across Britain about what they were worried
:20:50. > :20:53.about revealed that two concerns had leapt to the top of the list,
:20:54. > :20:58.above concerns about immigration, And the two concerns are these -
:20:59. > :21:08.the economy and rising prices. Attention now moves here,
:21:09. > :21:11.Bank of England, where rising inflation often means one thing -
:21:12. > :21:15.rising interest rates. But with those consumer concerns

:21:20. > :21:21.most economists believe we won't see The Scottish Parliament has begun
:21:22. > :21:50.debating calls for a second Nicola Sturgeon has said it would be
:21:51. > :21:51.completely unsustainable for Westminster to deny Scotland a
:21:52. > :21:54.second vote. She wants a new referendum in 2018
:21:55. > :21:57.or 2019, but still needs permission from Westminster,
:21:58. > :21:59.and Theresa May has said Let's get the latest from our
:22:00. > :22:08.Scotland editor, Sarah Smith. Nicola Sturgeon hopes she is
:22:09. > :22:11.marching towards another vote on Scottish independence. The first
:22:12. > :22:14.step is to get the Scottish Parliament to follow her and asked
:22:15. > :22:19.the UK Government to allow a referendum. Whether we like it or
:22:20. > :22:21.not, Scotland again faces a fundamental decision about what sort
:22:22. > :22:26.of country we want to be. The question before this chamber is
:22:27. > :22:29.simple - who gets to make that decision? For the UK Government to
:22:30. > :22:33.stand in the way of Scotland even having the choice would be in my
:22:34. > :22:41.view wrong, unfair and utterly unsustainable. Tories here and in
:22:42. > :22:45.Westminster believe they can sustain their position, that now is not the
:22:46. > :22:49.time. The people of Scotland do not want, it will not wash to have a

:22:54. > :23:01.me that dragging us there, it is with a heavy heart, a big Tory did
:23:02. > :23:03.this, run away. It will not do. Nicola Sturgeon wakes up every
:23:04. > :23:06.single day thinking of ways to engineer another referendum, because
:23:07. > :23:15.leaving the UK is the only thing that matters to her. The SNP need
:23:16. > :23:20.the greens to win the vote. They fear Scotland will not have a say in
:23:21. > :23:24.the Brexit process. The citizens of Scotland, the only people voice less
:23:25. > :23:30.in that process. I won't vote for it. The SNP will almost certainly
:23:31. > :23:33.win this vote, even though the Tories, Labour and the Lib Dems will
:23:34. > :23:38.vote against them. The nationalists have got the numbers in Parliament.
:23:39. > :23:42.But the opposition parties are sure that beyond here, Scottish voters
:23:43. > :23:48.don't want another referendum. It is mostly no voters who don't want to
:23:49. > :23:51.go through it all again. Many a voters can't wait for another
:23:52. > :23:55.referendum. I don't think there should be another one. They had
:23:56. > :24:00.their chance, and voted to remain part of the UK. Contact I think my
:24:01. > :24:04.mother is completely wrong because we were basically promised we would
:24:05. > :24:09.stay in the European Union, basically. And we are not in the
:24:10. > :24:14.European Union, so that is a bit of a sore point for me. And I want to
:24:15. > :24:17.be independent. The debate in Hollywood will continue tomorrow.
:24:18. > :24:22.Debate over Scotland's feature will not be resolved so soon. There is a
:24:23. > :24:24.long road ahead in this battle over who gets to decide when or if there
:24:25. > :24:28.is a vote on independence. The writer Colin Dexter,
:24:29. > :24:31.who created Inspector Morse, The Morse novels sold millions
:24:32. > :24:36.and were adapted for television. Our arts correspondent Lizo Mzimba
:24:37. > :24:56.looks back at his life. Morse and Lewis. Two of literature
:24:57. > :25:02.and television's best-known policemen. So many crimes solved by
:25:03. > :25:07.them over a pint. Which came first, the death or the theft? And
:25:08. > :25:13.occasionally, under the watchful eye of their creator Colin Dexter.
:25:14. > :25:20.Dexter came up with Morse during a wet family holiday in the nineteen
:25:21. > :25:23.seventies. I gave him a few of my qualities, a liking for crosswords
:25:24. > :25:27.and real ale and Richard Wagner and so on. So I suppose in a way it is a
:25:28. > :25:35.composite factor, a slightly melancholy man. And a cheerful sort
:25:36. > :25:41.of pessimist. Where do we start, sir? How the hell should I know?!
:25:42. > :25:46.Hang on a minute, I am feeling as you are about being bounced along.
:25:47. > :25:52.The books made his characters even more popular. As a writer, what I
:25:53. > :25:57.will remember him for is the convoluted twists in his plots.
:25:58. > :26:07.Nobody plotted with more deviousness than Colin Dexter. He had a mind
:26:08. > :26:11.like a corkscrew. Morse ran for almost 15 years, its appeal not just
:26:12. > :26:16.its complex storytelling but more the relationship of its two lead
:26:17. > :26:23.characters. An added appeal for fans, the chance to spot Colin
:26:24. > :26:29.Dexter's cameos in many scenes. People often ask me why I killed him
:26:30. > :26:34.off. I say, I did not kill him off at all, I say, he died of natural
:26:35. > :26:38.causes. His crime writing may have been dark and threatening. He will
:26:39. > :26:40.be remembered as an author who was the opposite, warm, friendly and
:26:41. > :26:44.loved by his fans. The writer Colin Dexter,
:26:45. > :27:03.who has died at the age of 86. There is some much better weather on
:27:04. > :27:08.the way, but today, it was a wintry scene in Scotland. If you managed to
:27:09. > :27:12.miss the showers, it was not too bad, here, for example, in Norfolk.
:27:13. > :27:16.But there's still quite a few showers to come in Scotland,
:27:17. > :27:21.especially in northern Scotland. Showers running eastwards across
:27:22. > :27:24.England and Wales at the moment, with thickening cloud behind. And we
:27:25. > :27:34.will see that bringing some heavy rain in the south-west of England
:27:35. > :27:41.and some hill snow. This will be bumping into the cold air across
:27:42. > :27:44.Scotland and Northern Ireland. Dry for many parts of eastern England,
:27:45. > :27:48.but there will be a stronger wind can appear, ahead of this rain which
:27:49. > :27:56.will pivot very slowly eastwards and northwards. Northern Scotland
:27:57. > :28:03.staying largely dry, fewer showers by the morning. It could be quite an
:28:04. > :28:10.icy start. This weather front, not far away from the southern options.
:28:11. > :28:15.If you're stuck underneath this wet weather across north Wales and
:28:16. > :28:21.northern England, temperatures at six or seven, not a very nice day of
:28:22. > :28:25.it is not quite as wet as we head into Thursday. Still got this arc of
:28:26. > :28:30.rain, which will be working eastwards, we'd the rain petering
:28:31. > :28:33.out. Best of the weather, for Scotland and Northern Ireland, after
:28:34. > :28:38.another frosty start. I said things were settling down chosen by the
:28:39. > :28:40.weekend, which is quite unusual, it will be much drier! But watch out,
:28:41. > :28:47.the nights could be rather chilly. On BBC One, we now join the BBC's
