Seven years without charge, while my children grew up without me. | :00:18. | :00:28. | |
That is not something that I can forgive. | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
It is not something that I can forget. | :00:33. | :00:40. | |

he still faces arrest for skipping bail if he leaves the embassy. | :00:43. | :00:47. | |

Serial killer Stephen Port - his victims' families are dismayed | :01:05. | :01:06. | |

warnings that they've just been driven underground. | :01:17. | :01:19. | |

A crunch final day in the Premier League for Manchester City, | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
Good evening and welcome to the BBC's News at Six. | :01:39. | :02:01. | |
The Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange, says | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
he will not forgive or forget, after a seven year rape | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
investigation in Sweden was dropped without charge. | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
This afternoon he made a rare appearance on the balcony | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
of Ecuador's embassy in London where he's been holed up for five | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
He called the development an important victory for him, | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
but said it was "extremely regretful" that he's | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
still being threatened with arrest if he leaves the embassy, | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
Prosecutors in Sweden say they're disappointed | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
His alleged victim says she stands by the allegation. | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
On the balcony of the Ecuadorian Embassy | :02:34. | :02:51. | |
Julian Assange emerged this afternoon to have his say on the end | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
of the Swedish investigation against him. | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
Today is an important victory for me and for the UN human rights system. | :03:02. | :03:10. | |
Seven years without charge while my children grew up without me. | :03:11. | :03:20. | |
That is not something that I can forgive, | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
it is not something that I can forget. | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
But prosecutors in Sweden have not cleared Julian Assange, | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
they have simply said they can't pursue the case any further. | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
TRANSLATION: There are now no further measures | :03:36. | :03:36. | |
remaining which are possible to advance the investigation. | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
In order to proceed, it would be necessary | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
for Julian Assange to be formally served notice of the crimes | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
This was a measure that was to have been conducted during an interview | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
in London, but Mr Assange refused to make this possible. | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
This complex international drama began in August 2010 when two | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
women alleged that Julian Assange had sexually assaulted them | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
In December that year he was detained in Britain under | :04:03. | :04:11. | |
In May 2012 the Supreme Court upheld a decision to extradite him | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
And in June Mr Assange walked into the Ecuadorian Embassy in London | :04:17. | :04:24. | |
The Metropolitan Police mounted a 24-hour guard at the embassy. | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
By October 2015 it had cost over ?30 million. | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
Julian Assange is no longer wanted on an international | :04:31. | :04:40. | |
arrest warrant but the Metropolitan Police say that if he stepped out | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
of the embassy they are still obliged to arrest him | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
for failing to surrender to a London court back in 2012. | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
At the embassy this evening his supporters were jubilant. | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
But in Sweden, the woman who accused him of | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
rape issued a statement saying he was evading justice, | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
and expressing her shock that the investigation | :05:01. | :05:01. | |
Julian Assange was not held without charge with for seven years. | :05:02. | :05:10. | |
He was subject to extradition proceedings with in the EU, | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
under the European arrest warrant scheme he would have received a fair | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
trial in Sweden had he chosen to go back. | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
The reason this has lasted seven years is entirely down to him | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
seeking refuge in the Ecuadorian Embassy rather than going to face | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
trial in a country that has governed by the rule of law. | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
The founder of Wikileaks says it was fear that he | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
would be extradited to the United States for leaking | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
classified information that drove him through | :05:35. | :05:35. | |
So despite today's dramatic twist in this long-running diplomatic and | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
legal saga, tonight he is back inside. | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
Helena Lee is outside the Ecudorian embassy where Julian Assange | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
Helena, is there any chance of him leaving? | :05:50. | :06:00. | |
I very much doubt it. I don't think his position has really changed very | :06:01. | :06:08. | |
much, despite the news from Sweden this evening. When he appeared here | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
on about Kenny, he spent some time posing for photographs, he spoke for | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
about 20 minutes. But as we have seen before, he did not answer | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
questions from journalists. He was asked if he would leave the embassy | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
and there was no reply. He was asked if he would surrender to the bail | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
hearing in London and he did not reply. He hinted at the end that he | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
would be willing to have an open dialogue with America, but as | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
Caroline hinted, if he leaves the embassy he will be arrested by The | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
Met, and he faces the risk of being extradited to America. Now, Julian | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
Assange remains here. There are divisions tonight | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
within the Conservative Party over its manifesto commitment | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
to means test winter fuel The Scottish Conservative | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
leader, Ruth Davidson, said she was in favour of retaining | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
the payment for all But the Prime Minister argued | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
it was unfair that wealthy pensioners received the money, | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
while some families were struggling. Would you trust are to keep things | :07:03. | :07:22. | |
running, or run the economy? But has Theresa May dropped a spanning in | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
the works by keeping people guessing about tax and spending plans, and | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
keeping pensioners guessing about who would keep and who would lose | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
the winter fuel allowance? She was not giving much away. We will ensure | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
that the least well off pensioners are protected. At the moment, we see | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
well off pensioners able to be supported with fuel bills, when | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
struggling ordinary working families are not. I think there is a | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
principle of fairness that underpins this. That is not how all Tories see | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
it, especially Scottish Conservatives under Ruth Davidson, | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
who greeted Mrs May in Edinburgh. The Scottish Tory manifesto says, | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
social security devolution allows us to make different choices in | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
Scotland, and so we will protect universal winter fuel payments for | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
all older people, and they will not be subject to means testing. We | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
believe there should not be means testing for the Winter Fuel Payment. | :08:18. | :08:30. | |
The reason is, as many viewers will acknowledge, Scotland has a colder | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
climate and the different amount of housing stock. Devolution allows | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
different decisions. Mrs May's answer, she is writing policy south | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
of the border. We have given Scotland significant powers in | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
relation to welfare and they make a number of decisions about welfare | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
benefits in Scotland. You are a breath of fresh air. More voters | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
might feel the same, if Jeremy Corbyn's promise to protect the fuel | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
allowance and pensions catches on. Labour has been attacked over tax | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
and spending plans which critics say do not add up, but he is hitting | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
back. She has caused a huge amount of anxiety. She has not set at what | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
level she will change it. We think it should be kept and it will be | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
kept under Labour, and it will be universal. Just one way for the SNP | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
to go, right that Theresa May. Taking the Winter Fuel Payment away | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
from pensioners who have paid in all their life is just wrong. The Winter | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
Fuel Payment is not a kings ransom. Not all Tories south of Scotland | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
with Mrs May on pensioners and policies like social care. One | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
former minister said they would be opposing her, except there is an | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
election on. Mrs May once more backing for potentially unpopular | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
decisions if public money is tight after Brexit. You can bet she would | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
hesitate to make risky promises if she was not confident of winning. | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
The Tories look upbeat about the campaign, whether or not they always | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
agree, but life could get tougher for them, for a lot of people | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
afterwards, whoever wins. Well, while she was in Scotland | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
today Theresa May refused to give more details about a manifesto | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
pledge that a second Scottish independence referendum | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
would not take place, unless there was "public | :10:06. | :10:06. | |
consent" for it. Sarah, do we know what's meant | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
by "public consent"? I asked exactly that, would she be | :10:10. | :10:26. | |
relying on opinion polls, or if the SNP win a majority of seats in | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
Scotland at the election, would that demonstrate public consent? And she | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
would not define exactly how she would decide if there was public | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
consent for another vote, and said she would rather we were not talking | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
about independence at all because she thinks this debate could weaken | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
her hand in Brexit negotiations, and accused the SNP of being obsessed | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
with independence. Although it is the Tories in Scotland who are | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
making another referendum central to their election campaign. They are | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
handing out leaflets with "Independence" in block capital | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
letters. They think by saying they are the only ones who can stop | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
another referendum, they can attract unionist voters, while Nicola | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
Sturgeon says that a vote for the SNP is about to make Scotland's | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
voice heard. Theresa May absolutely ruled out the idea of giving her a | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
seat at the Brexit negotiating table, saying that she, Theresa May, | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
will negotiate for the whole of the UK. | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
The former television star Rolf Harris has been | :11:25. | :11:25. | |
released from prison, after serving nearly three | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
The 87-year-old is currently on trial on four counts of alleged | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
indecent assault against three teenagers between 1971 and 1983, | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
He will attend the trial at Southwark Crown Court | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
The serial killer Stephen Port was jailed for life last year | :11:37. | :11:50. | |
Their bodies were all found outside his flat or in a churchyard nearby. | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
Yet their deaths were not initially treated as murder, | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
and detectives missed a number of chances to catch the killer. | :11:58. | :11:59. | |
Now the families of the victims say they're dismayed by slow progress | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
of an inquiry into why the police took so long to catch him. | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
The graveyard in Barking that was Stephen Port's dumping | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
ground for three of the bodies of the four men he killed | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
His first victim was 23-year-old Anthony Walgate. | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
Their families have been waiting for an investigation | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
by the Independent Police Complaints Commission into why detectives | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
failed to spot that there was a serial killer at work | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
But this week they told me their patience has run out. | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
I don't feel that the IPCC are in control of the investigation at all. | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
I think it's the police dictating to what stage it | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
goes, what pace it goes, which is disgusting. | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
Stephen Port used dating apps to lure the men to his home. | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
He then gave them lethal doses of GHB. | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
His first victim, Anthony Walgate, was found at the door of his flat. | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
The others, in nor near the local churchyard over the next 15 months. | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
The police were asked on numerous occasions | :13:02. | :13:03. | |
The IPCC investigation is designed to work out why detectives | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
were so reluctant to connect them, but 20 months on, not a single | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
The explanation for the further delay is an argument | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
between the Independent Police Complaints Commission on the one | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
side and the police officers, the Police Federation | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
and their lawyers on the other side, over the amount of time it | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
would take to go through the 7000 pages of evidence and 750 emails. | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
But while the two sides argue, the families are getting no | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
The IPCC denied that there has been a row, saying the officers have | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
asked for time to understand and absorb the information that | :13:45. | :13:46. | |
will be put to them in interview, which we've agreed, | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
so that the evidence we collect from them is as robust | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
It's very frustrating, disappointing, like you've been let | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
We know we want answers to this and the IPCC dragging their heels | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
The families really want to understand whether the men's | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
murders were misinterpreted because they were gay, | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
or for some other reason, and they are worried that the police | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
officers' memories will fail further if they are not interviewed quickly. | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
Prosecutors drop rape charges against WikiLeaks founder | :14:19. | :14:30. | |
Julian Assange, but he remains in hiding in the Ecuadorian embassy. | :14:31. | :14:38. | |
In the latest in our Your Election series, we hear the concerns | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
Wimbledon won't have to make a decision on whether they hand | :14:43. | :14:51. | |
The former champion has decided she will go through qualifying | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
It's been a year since the ban on so-called "legal | :14:56. | :15:09. | |
highs" came into effect, but they are still available | :15:10. | :15:11. | |
Known as New Psychoactive Substances, or "Spice", | :15:12. | :15:23. | |
the legal highs were made Class B drugs, which meant they had to be | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
taken off the shelves on the High Street. | :15:28. | :15:29. | |
They may not be visible now, but there are warnings that the sale | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
of Spice has been driven underground as Jeremy Cooke reports. | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
They are New Psychoactive Substances, NPS. | :15:37. | :15:38. | |
Not so much a problem, more so an epidemic. | :15:39. | :15:40. | |
It's got a psychological addiction you might associate with crack | :15:41. | :15:50. | |
cocaine and the physical addiction and withdrawals that | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
Just because they say it's illegal, doesn't mean you can't get it. | :15:58. | :16:04. | |
That just makes people more determined to get it. | :16:05. | :16:06. | |
In Edinburgh, the drug subculture has been all about heroin, | :16:07. | :16:08. | |
So here, many chose not to smoke NPS, but to injected. | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
Unbelievable, people losing their lives, | :16:13. | :16:13. | |
That drug is the worst that I've ever used. | :16:14. | :16:28. | |
Worse than heroin, worse than cocaine, worse than crack | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
cocaine, worse than all of them put together, but better. | :16:32. | :16:33. | |
We get a fair amount of drug use here. | :16:34. | :16:42. | |
The street work charities average team are here to help. | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
They've seen first-hand the devastation caused by NPS. | :16:47. | :16:48. | |
Edinburgh was among the first cities in the UK to ban | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
Even the users I've spoken to myself who now no longer use speak | :16:52. | :16:59. | |
about how that was a terrible episode in her life, | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
and they're glad that the ban has come into place. | :17:03. | :17:04. | |
But NPS is still on the streets here, as users like Rab now know. | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
I've lost numerous people over, and it is not nice. | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
Friends have died, others have been left with terrible scars, | :17:13. | :17:14. | |
the drug destroys the flesh where it's injected. | :17:15. | :17:23. | |
A few of my mates have holes in their legs at the moment. | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
A mega haul of seized Street spice at the headquarters of police | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
Scotland's NPS Unit, the only one of its kind in the UK. | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
Each one gram package costs a tenner, enough here for countless | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
hits with a street value of hundreds of thousands of pounds. | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
Even before the ban, Police Scotland had been working | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
to take out assembly plants like this one, | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
where NPS, brought in from China, was prepared and packaged, | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
We will never arrest our way out of the issue | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
It's about informing young people of the dangers | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
these substances present, and making sure that they make | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
as best an informed decision as possible. | :18:09. | :18:17. | |
At Manchester Metropolitan University, they're preparing | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
Early conclusions are that spice dealing has been driven underground, | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
but it's still available and extremely dangerous. | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
Some estimates suggest it is 700 times more potent than | :18:33. | :18:34. | |
As soon as you take one street dealer is taken out, they just | :18:35. | :18:54. | |
I don't think you can stop the street level dealing. | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
And if you have dealers, you have this. | :18:59. | :19:00. | |
For the young street homeless here, spice remains a clear | :19:01. | :19:02. | |
It's made vulnerable people more vulnerable, | :19:03. | :19:04. | |
people turning on each other, people who smoke together are now | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
selling to each other, stealing from each other. | :19:08. | :19:09. | |
People are being put out to beg to pay for the spice habit, it has | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
For Beth, the ban on legal highs has been irrelevant. | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
She's clean now, but just a couple of months ago, | :19:18. | :19:19. | |
this 22-year-old single mum was on the street, and on the spice. | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
I didn't wash, didn't clean my hair, didn't care about nothing. | :19:23. | :19:24. | |
I wasn't bothered. It just took everything away. | :19:25. | :19:26. | |
Banning doesn't work, what might work? | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
I think you need to look at mental health and that. | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
There is a reason why people wanting to smoke it, | :19:32. | :19:33. | |
not just because it is banned, not because it is legal, | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
not because it is illegal, there is a problem with that person. | :19:37. | :19:38. | |
A year in, then, the ban is having mixed success. | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
Spice is no longer on sale in high street shops. | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
But the young and the homeless are still finding it, | :19:47. | :19:48. | |
still learning that a new kind of high comes with | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
A former youth team coach at Newcastle United has been charged | :19:52. | :20:01. | |
George Ormond, who's 61, will appear in court next month | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
following an investigation by Northumbria Police | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
Danny Savage is outside St James' Park for us. | :20:08. | :20:16. | |
When this investigation began at them end of last comment Newcastle | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
United football club said they would cooperate fully with it. Since then, | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
the allegations have been investigated by Northumbria Police. | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
Today came the first charges against George Ormond, he is 61 years old, | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
he used to be a youth coach here some years ago at Newcastle United. | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
He also worked at other clubs in the area as well. He has been charged | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
with 29 historical child sexual offences, dating back between 1973 | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
for the earliest, and 1998 for the most recent over a 25 year period. | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
It is understood that the allegations have been made by 17 | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
different individuals, all of them are male. Mr Ormond will appear | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
before Newcastle magistrates in June for the next part of this case. | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
A local authority in greater Manchester has asked all funeral | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
directors to reject any request to commit the body of the Moors | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
murderer Ian Brady. Brady, who killed five children with Myra | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
Hindley died on Monday. The council, which includes supper with more, | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
once funeral directors to have no involvement in the disposal of his | :21:30. | :21:30. | |
body. And throughout the campaign we've | :21:31. | :21:32. | |
been asking voters what issues are important to them, | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
and what they'd like to see changed. Today, it's the turn | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
of Thorrun Govind, a pharmacist from Bolton, who's been | :21:41. | :21:42. | |
talking to Amol Rajan. We are helping bridge the gap | :21:43. | :21:57. | |
between health and social care. We are a vital resource, and we want to | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
keep providing the service we do. I am a community pharmacist based in | :22:03. | :22:04. | |
the Northwest. This is an election issue because if | :22:05. | :22:16. | |
the cuts to community pharmacy, which impact our patients, so if we | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
are worried about the NHS, we should worry about community pharmacy and | :22:22. | :22:28. | |
the part it plays within the NHS. Pharmacists and pharmacies are | :22:29. | :22:30. | |
really pressurised environment at the moment, and we are trying to do | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
the best for the patient, but it is also a safety issue. We are not | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
handing out apples and pears, we are handing out drugs that can | :22:40. | :22:41. | |
potentially kill someone. We need to make sure that pharmacies are | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
provided appropriate funding to have the right amount of staff to make | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
sure we can be safe. With community pharmacies, the clue is in the name. | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
The great thing about pharmacies is they tend to be in areas where there | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
is high health inequalities, so if we weren't here, I wonder where the | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
patients would go and how they would fare. Brexit poses new challenges. | :23:05. | :23:12. | |
Brexit is going to impact our community pharmacy. Some of the | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
regulations, such as the EU. Medicines directive, which involves | :23:19. | :23:20. | |
scanning every item into the pharmacy, will have a big impact on | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
staffing. We require extra staff to do that. How can we do that with the | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
cuts? What does the future look like for community pharmacies like this? | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
It looks bleak. We will have pharmacy closures. We don't know how | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
many will close, but it will impact on the NHS, because more people will | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
visit a any -- A Some of the vulnerable patients will suffer. | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
With weeks to go, she is clear on what basis she will cast her vote. | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
If I can find a party that will support local community pharmacies | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
and value the work that we do in helping save money for the NHS, and | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
helping provide for our patients, there may have definitely got my | :24:05. | :24:05. | |
vote. And if you want to find out more | :24:06. | :24:08. | |

are on the verge of If they win or draw their last | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
Scottish Premiership match this weekend, | :24:26. | :24:37. | |
they will have been unbeaten When they first stepped out | :24:38. | :24:39. | |
last August, A season the like of | :24:40. | :24:48. | |
which football has rarely seen. Nine months, 37 games, | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
not one single defeat. Last night's thrashing | :24:53. | :24:54. | |
of Partick put Celtic a chance to become | :24:55. | :24:55. | |
the New Invincibles. I think any football coach, | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
manager, player will tell It doesn't matter what country | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
it's in, what league it's in, it's a huge testament | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
to the professionalism, and the quality | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
and the mentality of the squad. In England, Arsenal won the league | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
unbeaten in 2004, but in Scotland, Here on Sunday, Celtic | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
could break a host of records. So far, they've scored some | :25:23. | :25:33. | |
104 goals and notched up 103 points. But perhaps most remarkably, | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
they're some 30 points clear It could be the biggest | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
title winning margin in history. The decline of Rangers has | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
left Celtic with little competition. Ali McCoist right through | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
the Celtic defence... And one of Scottish football's most | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
famous voices fears for the future. And it looks as if Rangers | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
are going to be out of it for quite some time, | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
because of lack of money, and only their big support keeps them going. | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
So yes, it has been far too easy. And people will have to admit, | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
they're beginning to lose interest. Exactly 50 years since the so-called | :26:17. | :26:18. | |
Lisbon Lions won the European Cup, they could have another team | :26:19. | :26:25. | |
of history makers, the league champions in a league of their own. | :26:26. | :26:27. | |
Andy Swiss, BBC News, Celtic Park. Time for a look at the weather. | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
Here's Sarah Keith-Lucas. Sunday should be a decent day, a | :26:33. | :26:51. | |
mixed forecast. Some sunshine, this is Somerset earlier in the day, a | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
lot of heavy showers around, too. Humanists clouds producing the | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
showers, you can see it in the images. Further east, more | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
persistent rain, and an area of cloud. This was Nottinghamshire. | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
Cloud and rain, the rain is now pushing its way northwards. We will | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
see rain across North East England, eastern Scotland, too. Elsewhere, | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
heavy and thundery showers ease away through the evening and overnight, | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
too. Saturday morning, many of us with clear skies, dry and quite a | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
fresh start to the day. There will be the around from the word go, | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
particularly in northern and eastern parts of Scotland. A soggy day to | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
come, here. Elsewhere, another day of sunshine and showers. The showers | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
tomorrow are hit and miss, but they will be at times heavy and thundery | :27:44. | :27:46. | |
through the course of the afternoon. Not a bad day between the showers. | :27:47. | :27:52. | |
Warm sunshine, 18 or so, but keep the brolly close to hand. Sunday, | :27:53. | :27:57. | |
most showers fade away. The better day of the weekend for most of us. | :27:58. | :28:00. | |
If you showers in the north-west, but might wind, temperature is not | :28:01. | :28:06. | |
doing badly, up to 20 by the time we get to Sunday. And we have fine and | :28:07. | :28:11. | |
settled weather for the week ahead. Through the weekend, here is your | :28:12. | :28:15. | |
summary, heavy showers, some sunshine through Saturday, fewer | :28:16. | :28:20. | |
showers, dry through the day on Sunday and it. To feel warmer, too. | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
Those temperatures creep up a few degrees into the new working week. | :28:25. | :28:34. | |
