:00:00. > :00:15.glorious Good evening and welcome to BBC
:00:16. > :00:18.Points West. Our headlines tonight: United in respect for Nelson Mandela
:00:19. > :00:23.` a vigil in Bristol tonight for a man who changed the world.
:00:24. > :00:27.The Christmas temptation of a payday loan ` but what about the financial
:00:28. > :00:31.hangover? Meet the NatWest banker jailed in
:00:32. > :00:40.the States for fraud, but now back home and unrepentant. Look, I'm not
:00:41. > :00:43.embarrassed about this. As far as I'm concerned, I didn't do anything
:00:44. > :00:46.wrong. And a film about Beckham and his
:00:47. > :00:48.friends ` we talk to the Bristol footballer who was in the same
:00:49. > :00:58.class, back in '92. Good evening. Nelson Mandela is
:00:59. > :01:02.being remembered here in the West tonight. All day, tributes have been
:01:03. > :01:05.paid, flags have been flying at half`mast and tonight in the centre
:01:06. > :01:09.of Bristol, people have gathered for a vigil. They're meeting on the same
:01:10. > :01:20.spot as 23 years ago, when he was released from prison. Sabet
:01:21. > :01:24.Choudhury is there now. In 1990, many of these people
:01:25. > :01:29.gathered here to celebrate Nelson Mandela making that long walk to
:01:30. > :01:34.Freedom. Tonight, many of them have returned, to remember the life of
:01:35. > :01:43.the great man. One who inspired so many people here to fight for change
:01:44. > :01:50.and equality. They need to look at what one man faced and endured, it
:01:51. > :01:58.was like walking through fire. No shortage of tributes today. Nelson
:01:59. > :02:02.Mandela had the massive effect on Bristol's community, prompting
:02:03. > :02:13.people to work for change. It wanted us to get involved and work to stop
:02:14. > :02:17.injustice for everyone, because Nelson Mandela has been an icon for
:02:18. > :02:27.people in Bristol and across the world in terms of fighting for
:02:28. > :02:33.justice. It only 50 years ago that black people weren't allowed to
:02:34. > :02:40.drive this Bristol's bosses. But Mandela's example gave hope to those
:02:41. > :02:47.fighting for equality. It made me wonder what the colour of my skin
:02:48. > :02:54.had to do with my rights. I realised that, as a people, we can't struggle
:02:55. > :02:59.just with violence. We have to put our case forward in a humane way and
:03:00. > :03:01.bring about change. Much has changed, and many still follow
:03:02. > :03:10.Mandela's example, pushing for greater equality. There's plenty of
:03:11. > :03:20.work to be done. We have an unequal city in many ways. It's less on
:03:21. > :03:22.colour, and more on well. We have to balance those inequalities in this
:03:23. > :03:26.great city of ours. We also need people to get involved, and care.
:03:27. > :03:30.Today, the West remembered a towering figure who fought for
:03:31. > :03:38.change and freedom. A man who lived many thousands of miles away, but
:03:39. > :03:41.touched so many close to home. Well, no doubt they will be
:03:42. > :03:46.gathering like this all over the world tonight. But what lasting
:03:47. > :03:50.legacy will Nelson Mandela leave here in the West? The man who
:03:51. > :03:56.organised the schedule and was here in 1990 is here. Why did a man
:03:57. > :04:04.struggle so many e`mails a week means so much to you here? He was an
:04:05. > :04:11.icon. He showed that you could defeat even the most evil regime if
:04:12. > :04:15.you put your mind to something. His compassion, hence resoluteness,
:04:16. > :04:23.showed what you could do, and I think for many people, the struggle
:04:24. > :04:27.against apartheid also affected people's ability to fight racism
:04:28. > :04:35.here in Britain. Also with me as a former Sheriff of Britain.
:04:36. > :04:40.Mandela's legacy has a lasting impact, but how far do we need to
:04:41. > :04:44.call? We still have a way to go, but if we embody the principles that he
:04:45. > :04:49.taught us, it's always to think about the future. Finally the future
:04:50. > :04:53.battle is about economic rights. We have civil rights, but we need to
:04:54. > :04:59.make sure that people can be on the board of companies, that we have
:05:00. > :05:04.private and public sector services, whether that is education or health
:05:05. > :05:10.and leisure. These are the key areas where we can still change and still
:05:11. > :05:14.do better. Bristol can lead the way. Thank you very much indeed. As one
:05:15. > :05:20.person said to be denied, the greatest respect of the West can pay
:05:21. > :05:21.to Nelson Mandela is to make sure that future generations remember his
:05:22. > :05:25.legacy. Thanks, Sabet. And we'll have more
:05:26. > :05:31.reaction, including from the Deputy Prime Minister in Cheltenham, a
:05:32. > :05:34.little later. More news first, though, and a Royal
:05:35. > :05:37.Marine from Taunton who was convicted of murdering a captured
:05:38. > :05:39.insurgent in Afghanistan has been sentenced to life in prison.
:05:40. > :05:42.Sergeant Alexander Blackman was first named publicly yesterday after
:05:43. > :05:49.being described as Marine A during his trial. The killing was captured
:05:50. > :05:52.on a camera mounted to the helmet of another serviceman. Sergeant
:05:53. > :05:58.Blackman has also been dismissed from the armed forces with disgrace.
:05:59. > :06:01.The jury in the trial of a Bristol mother accused of killing her baby
:06:02. > :06:04.has been directed by the judge to find her not guilty of manslaughter.
:06:05. > :06:07.3`month`old Paris Vince`Stephens died of catastrophic head injuries
:06:08. > :06:12.after being taken to the Bristol Children's Hospital in January.
:06:13. > :06:15.Teenager Danah Vince and her partner William Stephens have both denied
:06:16. > :06:24.allegations of manslaughter and causing or allowing the death of a
:06:25. > :06:27.child. The trial continues. There was a sharp warning for
:06:28. > :06:30.Christmas shoppers in Bristol today ` don't take out loans you can't
:06:31. > :06:34.afford. Charities are worried that people who are struggling to meet
:06:35. > :06:37.the cost of Christmas will turn to so`called payday lenders. And one
:06:38. > :06:39.former manager in the industry has told our business correspondent Dave
:06:40. > :06:50.Harvey that people were 'routinely' lent more than they could afford.
:06:51. > :06:55.The whole idea was, whatever someone came in to get, we were trying sell
:06:56. > :07:00.them the maximum. For six years, Andrew Smith was a manager for high
:07:01. > :07:04.street payday loan company. Today, the companies insist they are just
:07:05. > :07:07.meeting demand. But Mr Smith told me the inside story was all about
:07:08. > :07:13.pushing loans as high as possible. Why did we do that, because we
:07:14. > :07:16.needed to sell them the maximum, and the chances of them be paying it was
:07:17. > :07:24.low. Therefore, we would make money and interest. Isn't there something
:07:25. > :07:28.about making sure the person can be paid the debt? No, there was no real
:07:29. > :07:34.check on whether they could afford to repay, or whether they had
:07:35. > :07:39.another run. It was all about making sure that every person who walked in
:07:40. > :07:44.the door and we could sell money to, we did. In recent months, this
:07:45. > :07:52.industry has gone from the back streets to the political limelight.
:07:53. > :07:58.You think you're charges are extortionate? No, we don't accept
:07:59. > :08:06.that. When they came before MPs, they insisted the only lend
:08:07. > :08:10.responsibly. These are short`term loans. So maybe Andrew Smith is out
:08:11. > :08:14.of date? Perhaps the payday lenders have cleaned up their act and stop
:08:15. > :08:18.encouraging people to take out bigger loans than they can afford.
:08:19. > :08:22.Well, people who do get into trouble with this kind of lending often end
:08:23. > :08:32.up here, and the Citizen 's advice bureau. Inside, and is helping a
:08:33. > :08:37.woman with a stack of payday loans. She has asked us not to show her
:08:38. > :08:42.face. What started as a sheep under pounds has spiralled into over
:08:43. > :08:46.?1000. Each loan was taken to pay off the last. They suggested to me
:08:47. > :08:50.that I should take out a different loan with another company to pay
:08:51. > :08:55.that one back. And then, when I will be second company, I went back to
:08:56. > :09:01.the first company to get a loan from them to pay the second company.
:09:02. > :09:03.Today, staff were out in festive spirit amongst the Christmas
:09:04. > :09:11.shoppers. Their message, enjoy the fun, but the Wear of the easy money.
:09:12. > :09:20.94% of clients said no one checked if they could repay the loan. We
:09:21. > :09:25.don't believe that they are playing by their own rules and protecting
:09:26. > :09:29.people who borrow from them. In Bridgwater, Andrew Smith is working
:09:30. > :09:35.for a debt advice charity, helping victims of the interest industry he
:09:36. > :09:40.still believes are living people into debt. Some people have racked
:09:41. > :09:43.up enormous debts and a thousands and thousands of pounds. That cannot
:09:44. > :09:46.be right. Well, Russell Hamblin Boone speaks
:09:47. > :09:50.for the industry, and earlier I asked him if lenders are pushing
:09:51. > :09:57.people to take out bigger loans than they should. Now, we're not. For
:09:58. > :10:01.over a year, we have had restrictions on the number of times
:10:02. > :10:05.loans can be extended. But people need to have the option to pay off
:10:06. > :10:10.part of the loan and carry`over other parts of it to pay at a later
:10:11. > :10:16.time. We heard for someone who was desperate and went to her lender who
:10:17. > :10:21.told her to go to another lender to pay that back. There are standards
:10:22. > :10:27.in place to make sure assessments are done, and if a lender find out
:10:28. > :10:33.someone has an outstanding loan, they must make judgement. You
:10:34. > :10:38.mentioned affordability assessments, but citizens advice told us that
:10:39. > :10:44.your members are feeling to ask customers nine times out of ten if
:10:45. > :10:50.they can afford to pay that back. Our own assessment says we are doing
:10:51. > :10:56.that. It is not always obvious to someone sat in front of a computer
:10:57. > :10:59.screen, but those checks are going on behind`the`scenes with a whole
:11:00. > :11:03.range of different information, because we don't want to lend to
:11:04. > :11:07.people who can't afford to pay them back. Finally, do you accept the
:11:08. > :11:12.people coming to you are often desperate, and sometimes in very
:11:13. > :11:19.vulnerable situations? They are not reading through a lot of small
:11:20. > :11:24.print, the desperate for the money, so shouldn't your members have more
:11:25. > :11:26.responsibility? You have to have a regular and disposable income in
:11:27. > :11:31.order to have alone in first place, and the used by a whole variety of
:11:32. > :11:38.people, people who are in financial difficulty will get help from the
:11:39. > :11:41.lender, and we won't be encouraging people to take out short`term loans
:11:42. > :11:46.that will lead to long`term debt. Many thanks indeed for joining us.
:11:47. > :11:50.An amateur footballer has been jailed for six months for causing a
:11:51. > :11:53.crash on the M5 in Somerset that killed his friend and seriously
:11:54. > :11:56.injured another man. 25`year`old Tom Pilling had already pleaded guilty
:11:57. > :11:59.to causing death by careless driving and driving without insurance. He

:12:29. > :12:37.low point, and why his bar is cash only. I'm not embarrassed about
:12:38. > :12:38.anything that has happened to me. As far as I'm concerned, I didn't do
:12:39. > :12:43.anything wrong. Giles Darby ` one of the NatWest
:12:44. > :12:45.Three. In the US in 2007, they were jailed for conspiring with former
:12:46. > :12:56.Enron staff to defraud NatWest, pocketing millions. I change of
:12:57. > :12:59.plea, they have fully accepted responsibility of the significant
:13:00. > :13:03.lapse in judgement that led to the filing of these charges. Giles Darby
:13:04. > :13:06.says they pleaded guilty in the US to get shorter jail terms, and
:13:07. > :13:14.overall were victims caught up in the much larger Enron scandal.
:13:15. > :13:19.George Bush just wanted to run a mile from any connection with Enron,
:13:20. > :13:27.and set a task force in motion to put many `` as many people in prison
:13:28. > :13:31.as possible. We were some of them. I didn't do anything knowingly
:13:32. > :13:34.illegal. For years in the UK, the trio had fought extradition to the
:13:35. > :13:43.US, winning support against a treaty drawn up to counter terrorism. We
:13:44. > :13:46.were unfortunate victims of an unfair treaty. At the time, the head
:13:47. > :13:49.of the Serious Fraud Office said they would have been extradited
:13:50. > :13:56.under the old act. Ultimately, Giles Darby served 18 months in US jails
:13:57. > :14:01.and at Leyhill. I'm not going to say I regret anything, because I don't.
:14:02. > :14:06.But, would I do something differently? I would at that point
:14:07. > :14:08.cooperate with the FBI early on, which would not have led to the
:14:09. > :14:16.years and years of stress afterwards. Ironically perhaps, if
:14:17. > :14:21.you pop in here for a pint, it is cash only. He does not do credit. I
:14:22. > :14:25.simply refuse to pay the bank charges for having a credit card

:15:14. > :15:24.release from prison had on the country as a whole.
:15:25. > :15:31.There was an incredible period in our time, and obviously, the fairy
:15:32. > :15:35.tale continued with the 1995 Rugby World Cup, where he was instrumental
:15:36. > :15:39.in bringing the nation together. Just an incredible human being, and

:16:13. > :16:15.Mark Sampson has been appointed head coach of the England women's team on
:16:16. > :16:19.a four`year contract. Mark had been at the club for five years, leading

:16:28. > :16:30.chairman says he's in it for the long`haul, and wants to deliver top
:16:31. > :16:33.flight football. 41`year`old Lee Power is the club's third chairman
:16:34. > :16:38.this calendar year, having taken control earlier this week. He's now
:16:39. > :16:43.the sole investor at the League One club. But who is Lee Power, and what
:16:44. > :16:48.is he promising for Swindon fans? No scarf being held up in the stand
:16:49. > :16:52.today ` Lee Power says he wants to be a low profile chairman. He's a
:16:53. > :16:55.former player ` his clubs included Norwich Bradford. Since retiring,
:16:56. > :17:04.he's been a businessman and a football agent. Something he
:17:05. > :17:09.believes gives him an advantage. Football is a bit of the jungle. I
:17:10. > :17:15.think I navigate it quite well, and have a lot of friends and contacts.
:17:16. > :17:18.I'm well versed in football and now every eventuality. I think that's
:17:19. > :17:22.what stands me in good stead and gives me an edge over the others. So
:17:23. > :17:30.you shouldn't be ripped off by agents? I think I need `` when they
:17:31. > :17:33.turn up here, they will understand that! That's the benefit that I
:17:34. > :17:37.have, that experience. Power was brought to the club in April by
:17:38. > :17:40.former chairman Jed McCrory. He says he's invested over ?1 million since,
:17:41. > :17:44.now buying out other shareholders to take control. That prompted McCrory
:17:45. > :17:49.to step down this week. He'd bought the club for ?1 in January, saving
:17:50. > :17:52.it from administration. It leaves just two people on the club's board
:17:53. > :17:57.` Chairman Lee Power and director Sangita Shah who has been overseeing
:17:58. > :18:02.the club's finances. A third director will be appointed but they
:18:03. > :18:06.won't be investing. Lee Power has reassured fans he he's here for the
:18:07. > :18:14.long`term, and believes the club can challenge for promotion and be run
:18:15. > :18:21.as a profit`making business. There have been a lot better business
:18:22. > :18:28.people coming into football, and I'm confident in my ability. I want to
:18:29. > :18:33.get the team to the championship, and then it will make money. That's
:18:34. > :18:36.why I'm here, and the only way that I can achieve success is on that
:18:37. > :18:41.green pitch out there. He's a Swiss resident so can only spend 90 days
:18:42. > :18:44.in England a year. But he says this will be his main focus and he tries
:18:45. > :18:48.to give the club some much`needed stability.
:18:49. > :18:51.You can see more of that interview on our Facebook page and the BBC
:18:52. > :18:55.Sport Website. Swindon Town aren't in action this weekend, having been
:18:56. > :18:59.beaten in the last round of the FA Cup. But it's the first game for
:19:00. > :19:01.Bristol City's new manager Steve Cotterill on Sunday. City take on
:19:02. > :19:05.non`League side Tamworth, hoping to make it into the draw for the third
:19:06. > :19:08.round, where the Premier league sides enter the competition. Bristol
:19:09. > :19:11.Rovers will be hoping for the same as they host Crawley at the Memorial
:19:12. > :19:14.Stadium tomorrow. In the Championship, Yeovil Town are
:19:15. > :19:18.looking for their third win in a row, as Charlton are the visitors to
:19:19. > :19:24.Huish Park. In League Two, Cheltenham travel to Morecambe.
:19:25. > :19:27.Well, stay with us Ali, as our next guest played a part in a real`life
:19:28. > :19:30.footballing fairy tale that's now been made into a film. Some of
:19:31. > :19:34.Manchester United's youth team of 1992 have gone onto to some pretty
:19:35. > :19:37.big things ` we're talking about the likes of David Beckham, Ryan Giggs
:19:38. > :19:41.and the Neville brothers, to name a few. And alongside them two decades
:19:42. > :19:50.ago was Bristol's Raphael Burke, and they've been reunited for the film.
:19:51. > :19:53.Thanks for joining us. First of all, let's take a look of some of the
:19:54. > :19:59.pictures when you were in the Class of 92. It must have been quite a
:20:00. > :20:07.class. What was it like playing with them? At the time, you don't realise
:20:08. > :20:13.what opportunity you have, but in that team, there are four national
:20:14. > :20:18.captains, 4000 Premier league appearances, and they are just a
:20:19. > :20:26.fantastic team so I always say to people it's been a privilege to be
:20:27. > :20:29.part of that. I was 18. You have seen a lot of those guys go on to
:20:30. > :20:36.amazing careers. Do you have any regrets? People have asked me that,
:20:37. > :20:41.but I never have regrets. I just think that you need to do is brush
:20:42. > :20:46.yourself off, start again, and that's why I have gone into
:20:47. > :20:49.coaching, to put right what didn't happen then. I have been coaching
:20:50. > :20:55.for 12 years, and that he's been brilliant to work with the young
:20:56. > :21:03.players. I want to ask you about the film. I'm a frustrated actors at
:21:04. > :21:09.heart! What was like being part a major film? It was fantastic. It has
:21:10. > :21:14.been a whirlwind. If I'm honest, the best part for me was getting on the
:21:15. > :21:19.pitch again with those players. To play with David Beckham again, Ryan
:21:20. > :21:28.Giggs, Paul Scholes, it was just brilliant. The fun we had on the day
:21:29. > :21:35.was fantastic. Widely why did not think you made it like they did? I
:21:36. > :21:40.think, if you're talented, which people say that I was, you really
:21:41. > :21:44.need to apply yourself. I was a teenager, I didn't understand that,
:21:45. > :21:52.with the young players I work with, I just want to say that I say this
:21:53. > :22:00.to them, talent plus hard work equals good results. Talent by
:22:01. > :22:03.itself produces nothing. I told the young players but no matter how
:22:04. > :22:08.skilful they are, they have to apply themselves. Train hard, and keep
:22:09. > :22:14.pushing yourself. That's what I try to say to the young players. That is
:22:15. > :22:19.very inspirational. And even if you have about 5% talent, you think you
:22:20. > :22:28.can make it? I think so, because if you apply yourself, you will make
:22:29. > :22:32.it. Hope for us all yet! Now let's go back to the big story
:22:33. > :22:35.here in the West and around the world tonight ` the tributes and
:22:36. > :22:39.legacy left by Nelson Mandela. Well, it was on the mind of the Deputy
:22:40. > :22:42.Prime Minister when he toured Cheltenham and Bristol today. Nick
:22:43. > :22:46.Clegg talked of how the former ANC leader had inspired him ` and he met
:22:47. > :22:49.a new generation moved by Mandela. Paul Barltrop reports.
:22:50. > :22:52.It was not politics as usual today. The visit of the Deputy Prime
:22:53. > :22:55.Minister to two vital Lib Dem`held constituencies felt a little muted.
:22:56. > :22:57.Instead of scoring points against political foes, Nick Clegg joined
:22:58. > :23:08.cross`party praise for the departed statesman. Obviously, he had a huge
:23:09. > :23:14.impression on everyone, but global leaders in British politics today,
:23:15. > :23:20.all of us were youngsters and teenagers at the time when Nelson
:23:21. > :23:23.Mandela was exercising such a huge positive influence not only in his
:23:24. > :23:26.own country, but across the world. Even as the visitor answered
:23:27. > :23:29.questions from pupils at this Cheltenham school, the man who
:23:30. > :23:32.united black and white looked on. On Monday, MPs will gather at
:23:33. > :23:38.Parliament to pay tribute to Nelson Mandela. What do you know about
:23:39. > :23:41.Mandela? Today, though, at Balcarras and countless other schools,
:23:42. > :23:48.teachers held special sessions with pupils. Mandela said, no, we have to
:23:49. > :23:51.have one South Africa. We cannot have two. When these sixth formers
:23:52. > :23:56.were born, Nelson Mandela was already South Africa's President.
:23:57. > :24:01.But they all know something of the decades of struggle that went
:24:02. > :24:09.before. This morning, my dad woke me up by saying, we have had some sad
:24:10. > :24:15.news. My mum goes to South Africa quite a bit, so it was big news.
:24:16. > :24:21.It's such a topic that all generation knows about it. It is
:24:22. > :24:27.hard to take for granted, when he fought for his whole lifetime. The
:24:28. > :24:32.world will not be the same because of this. Nick Clegg left for his
:24:33. > :24:40.next visit. The flag at half`mast remainder that politics has lost one
:24:41. > :24:48.of its greatest. Let's take a look at the weather.
:24:49. > :24:53.It is fairly chilly, it has to be said, but more will characterise the
:24:54. > :24:58.weather as we go through the weekend, will be a less cold story.
:24:59. > :25:03.I think they will be nuanced differences, when you talk about it
:25:04. > :25:09.being mild or less cold, but temperatures will certainly be on
:25:10. > :25:12.the rise. The part, a good deal of dry weather through the weekend, but
:25:13. > :25:19.that said, there will be some shares in western parts. Equally, it will
:25:20. > :25:22.be a competition of cloud cover and some sunshine, with the best of the
:25:23. > :25:28.sunshine on Sunday afternoon. Winds later on Saturday. Without somebody
:25:29. > :25:33.in mind, it's worth noting if I run this sequence right through, the one
:25:34. > :25:38.common thread through to next week is this bit of pressure to the
:25:39. > :25:41.south`east. The pressure will always be from a southerly quarter, which
:25:42. > :25:44.means that it will not be desperately cold. We will see
:25:45. > :25:53.chillier pictures, but not desperately cold. It looks like
:25:54. > :25:57.it'll at least next weekend and in the run`up of Christmas, we will be
:25:58. > :26:06.stuck in a similar pattern. No snow for the foreseeable future. Tonight,
:26:07. > :26:09.when a two lecturers around, particularly across western areas,
:26:10. > :26:16.and then clear skies around with". As we get through towards daybreak,
:26:17. > :26:20.temperatures between two and four Celsius for the majority of us.
:26:21. > :26:26.Tomorrow, we will need to cater for some showers of the Bristol Channel,
:26:27. > :26:31.and a availability in the flow as we go through the afternoon. Sharers
:26:32. > :26:40.initially through the central part of Somerset will become much of
:26:41. > :26:44.wider at the Northern areas. A filament of cloud around with some
:26:45. > :26:48.brighter spells in temperatures by the latter stages of mid`afternoon
:26:49. > :26:53.should be up to in about eight or 10 Celsius. So op on today.
:26:54. > :26:59.Temperatures may be higher still on Sunday. As we look beyond that into
:27:00. > :27:05.the start of next week, expect some fog on Sunday night into Monday, and
:27:06. > :27:07.will remain for a few days, but temperatures fairly healthy for the
:27:08. > :27:11.time of year. Thank you very much indeed. And just before we leave you
:27:12. > :27:14.` time to open our sixth window on our advent calendar. And tonight's
:27:15. > :27:22.picture has been sent by John Hesledon and it's taken in
:27:23. > :27:26.Marlborough in Wiltshire. Thank you. I'm not sure if any of that white
:27:27. > :27:32.stuff is on the way this weekend. Let's hope not! I'm sure the shops
:27:33. > :27:40.are going to be delightful this weekend! Be with you over the
:27:41. > :27:43.weekend. Sunday Politics is also on this weekend, the last in the
:27:44. > :27:46.series. Have a lovely weekend. Goodbye.
