Civilians flee eastern Ghouta,
as Syrian government forces | 0:00:09 | 0:00:15 | |
advance on the rebel-held area. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:21 | |
Polls are closing in just under an
hour in the Italian general | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
election. Parties on all sides are
hoping for at least a share of | 0:00:24 | 0:00:29 | |
power. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
As Hollywood prepares
for the Oscars, | 0:00:32 | 0:00:33 | |
will the ceremony focus on the films
or the new mood of protest? | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
These are live pictures. Harvey
Weinstein has changed the scope of | 0:00:37 | 0:00:42 | |
award season on what people ask on
red carpets and what they wear full | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
he has changed how the whole
industry is behaving. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:55 | |
Hello and welcome
to World News Today. | 0:00:55 | 0:01:05 | |
The Syrian president has insisted
that the current offensive in | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
Eastern Ghouta must continue as
thousands of civilians flee. He said | 0:01:09 | 0:01:15 | |
also that Western accusations over
chemical weapons are an excuse to | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
attack the Syrian army. A monitor
based in the UK says government | 0:01:19 | 0:01:25 | |
forces have now taken a quarter of
the Ghouta enclave. Our Middle East | 0:01:25 | 0:01:35 | |
editor reports from Damascus. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
These people said their village
was moving because the | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
Syrian Army had arrived. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
One man cursed the Russians and
Iranians, key allies of the regime. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:52 | |
Air strikes, he said,
including banned cluster | 0:01:55 | 0:01:56 | |
bombs had not stopped. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:57 | |
TRANSLATION: It has been
four days, no fuel, no | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
bread, no food, no water. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:01 | |
Where is the world? | 0:02:01 | 0:02:02 | |
Where are human rights? | 0:02:02 | 0:02:03 | |
We are humans, not animals. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:04 | |
400,000 people live
in Eastern Ghouta, an area | 0:02:04 | 0:02:09 | |
of fields and small towns
about the size of Manchester. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
Most of them are civilians who have
not been able to escape the war. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:22 | |
TRANSLATION: When the planes
shelled, I could not see | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
anything in front of me. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
I did not wait for the ambulance,
I started running. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
The air strikes have been
followed by ground troops | 0:02:32 | 0:02:37 | |
who are making rapid advances. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:43 | |
The strategy seems to be to cut
Eastern Ghouta in half. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:48 | |
Negotiations between the rebel
groups and the Russians have been | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
going on for quite some time. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
It is not clear if the objective
is a ceasefire or the effective | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
surrender of the rebels. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
The biggest rebel group says
it is regrouping after a retreat. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:04 | |
The fighting is still going on,
for the regime the prize is the end | 0:03:04 | 0:03:09 | |
of the last major rebel
enclave around Damascus. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:14 | |
For the rebels, these
are desperate moments. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
Jeremy Bowen, BBC News, Damascus. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:21 | |
Italians are voting
in a general election | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
against the backdrop of a bitter
debate on immigration. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:28 | |
Latest indications point,
once again, to no clear majority | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
for any single party. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
Well, let's cross live to Rome. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
My colleague Karin Giannone
is there for us. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:40 | |
It has been a fierce campaign. We
get the results soon. A fierce | 0:03:40 | 0:03:47 | |
campaign indeed. The polls close in
just under an hour. Italians really | 0:03:47 | 0:03:52 | |
do not have a clear idea of what the
likely outcome is going to be. As | 0:03:52 | 0:03:58 | |
you mentioned, no party looks like
it will get the necessary 40 descent | 0:03:58 | 0:04:03 | |
to secure a majority. So, the close
of polls could be the starting point | 0:04:03 | 0:04:08 | |
for coalition talks that may go on
for weeks. This report from our | 0:04:08 | 0:04:14 | |
Europe editor. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
Charming, but troubled Naples,
unhappily encapsulates the problems | 0:04:16 | 0:04:21 | |
at the heart of Italy's elections. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:26 | |
Falling living standards,
unemployment, and mass irregular | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
migration from Africa. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:32 | |
But uncertainty hangs in the today. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
Italians are voting for change. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
They are just not sure
which political party to trust. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
TRANSLATION: I am so
worried about Italy. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
I said a prayer before
coming to vote. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:48 | |
TRANSLATION: Italians
are frustrated. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:56 | |
Politicians need to
hear our voice today. | 0:04:56 | 0:05:01 | |
Son of Naples is the leader
of the party tipped to become | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
Italy's largest today. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:11 | |
His Five Star Movement claims to be
corruption-free and people-friendly. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
But the political system
here favours coalitions and meaning | 0:05:13 | 0:05:19 | |
this familiar face could
be kingmaker instead. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:24 | |
Naples and the south of Italy
will swing the vote today. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
Silvio Berlusconi did some
last-minute campaigning here | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
on behalf of a right-wing Coalition. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:30 | |
So, what does this rather chaotic
political picture mean | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
for Italy and Europe? | 0:05:32 | 0:05:33 | |
After all, this is the Eurozone's
third-largest economy. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:37 | |
Confusion is quintessentially
Italian, Brussels is used to it, | 0:05:37 | 0:05:46 | |
the financial markets seem prepared
for it, they believe that | 0:05:46 | 0:05:56 | |
a Coalition government will
smooth away political extremism. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:07 | |
This Napolitan shop is famous for
its handcrafted political figures. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
Today, all Italian voters
will help paint the future | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 | |
landscape of the country. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
Turnout really is key because, in
the weeks before the elections, some | 0:06:13 | 0:06:18 | |
polls were saying as many as 40% of
Italians were not going to bother to | 0:06:18 | 0:06:24 | |
turn up or were undecided. In the
last election 28% of the voting | 0:06:24 | 0:06:30 | |
population and stained. As we heard
there, the South is three critical. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:36 | |
-- abstained. Latest figures show
there is a higher turnout than usual | 0:06:36 | 0:06:40 | |
in the south and a lower turnout
than usual in the north. In the | 0:06:40 | 0:06:45 | |
south that could favour the Five
Star Movement. I been speaking to | 0:06:45 | 0:06:55 | |
John Hooper, Italy correspondent for
the Economist about just how turnout | 0:06:55 | 0:06:57 | |
could affect the result. | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
The first thing that is different is
turnout, which seems to be on the | 0:06:59 | 0:07:04 | |
low side, going the way of maybe 5%
and 10% less this time. And with | 0:07:04 | 0:07:12 | |
very significant regional
variations. In the south, turnout | 0:07:12 | 0:07:16 | |
seems to be higher, which should,
perhaps, favour the Five Star | 0:07:16 | 0:07:20 | |
Movement, which has made the south
into something of a fortress. It | 0:07:20 | 0:07:24 | |
seems to be going lower in the
centre and the North and that may be | 0:07:24 | 0:07:32 | |
bad news for particularly the
Democratic Party. You would be able | 0:07:32 | 0:07:35 | |
to talk about disillusionment with
the parties in the south because of | 0:07:35 | 0:07:43 | |
the economic situation in the south
to two high unemployment. High | 0:07:43 | 0:07:48 | |
unemployment and high juvenile
unemployment. Lots of people in need | 0:07:48 | 0:07:53 | |
25 to 35 age group who are on
short-term contracts, who are not | 0:07:53 | 0:07:58 | |
getting the benefits of full
employment, and who feel there is a | 0:07:58 | 0:08:03 | |
plague on all your houses. Vote for
the Five Star Movement because they | 0:08:03 | 0:08:08 | |
are in new faces and they promised
something different. What exactly do | 0:08:08 | 0:08:13 | |
the Five Star Movement offer? Can
you define them left, right or | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
centre, or none of the above? If you
average out their policies they come | 0:08:17 | 0:08:22 | |
up more in the centre. They are more
like a group in Spain in the fact | 0:08:22 | 0:08:28 | |
they pick policies both from the
right and the left. They would say | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
the left and right mean nothing but
since the fall of the Berlin Wall, | 0:08:32 | 0:08:38 | |
these are outdated concepts. Having
said that, what they really stand | 0:08:38 | 0:08:42 | |
for, certainly according to their
founder, is the introduction of | 0:08:42 | 0:08:47 | |
direct democracy. In other words,
doing away with the present system | 0:08:47 | 0:08:52 | |
of parties and replacing it by a
system in which everybody can click | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
with a mouse and vote on everything.
That is really the original purpose | 0:08:55 | 0:09:03 | |
of the Five Star Movement and in
fact Grillo put up a post just the | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
other day saying that you have to
remember what you are there for. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:11 | |
This is a party which, once it gets
into power and does that, it should | 0:09:11 | 0:09:16 | |
disband itself. That is why they
call themselves a movement. They | 0:09:16 | 0:09:21 | |
really are different from parties
want to do away with parties. If you | 0:09:21 | 0:09:26 | |
thought it was just the European
Union watching closely what happens | 0:09:26 | 0:09:31 | |
in Italy, think again. I rather
interesting figure has arrived in | 0:09:31 | 0:09:36 | |
town to monitor this election very
closely. None other than Donald | 0:09:36 | 0:09:40 | |
Trump smack former chief strategist,
Steve Bannon. He finds himself very | 0:09:40 | 0:09:45 | |
much aligned with the leader of the
populist, anti-immigration | 0:09:45 | 0:09:53 | |
right-wing party. He has come to
town to give a boost to those forces | 0:09:53 | 0:09:57 | |
of population which have been making
huge waves in this election, which | 0:09:57 | 0:10:01 | |
has been very dominated by the
matter of immigration. Just to take | 0:10:01 | 0:10:06 | |
you through what we are expecting.
Polls close at 11 o'clock local | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
time, just under an hour. Every hour
we will get an updated exit poll. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:16 | |
They are slightly unreliable. There
is a 5% margin for error. At around | 0:10:16 | 0:10:23 | |
0130 GMT, 130 in the morning Italian
time. That is when we will get a | 0:10:23 | 0:10:30 | |
definitive result which may give us
the shape of what has come out of | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
the polls. It will not necessarily
tell us the shape of the Government | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
because that can all be decided by
coalition discussions which may go | 0:10:37 | 0:10:42 | |
one for a very long time to come. We
will see you in the coming hours. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:48 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:54 | |
Another earthquake struck Papua New
Guinea. This one is ranked 6.0 at | 0:10:54 | 0:11:01 | |
the depth of ten kilometres. That is
a week after an earthquake caused | 0:11:01 | 0:11:07 | |
landslides, damaged buildings
enclosed oil and gas operations. The | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
people are in need of supplies. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
The German Chancellor,
Angela Merkel, is set | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
to form her fourth government,
after the centre-left | 0:11:16 | 0:11:18 | |
Social Democrats agreed
to join her conservatives | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
in a renewed coalition. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:21 | |
It brings an end to
the political uncertainty | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
since September's election. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:29 | |
Voters in Switzerland have rejected
a proposal to abolish the mandatory | 0:11:29 | 0:11:33 | |
licence fee for Public broadcasting.
In a referendum, more than 70% said | 0:11:33 | 0:11:38 | |
no to the change. The Swiss pay
almost $500 a year for the public | 0:11:38 | 0:11:43 | |
broadcaster. It broadcasts in all
four national languages. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:50 | |

Tributes to the world's
first four minute miler, | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |

It was just a matter of seconds as
the very lurched onto her side. The | 0:12:15 | 0:12:23 | |
hydrogen bomb. The Americans have
successfully tested a weapon whose | 0:12:23 | 0:12:28 | |
explosive force dwarfed that of the
bomb dropped on Hiroshima. My heart | 0:12:28 | 0:12:37 | |
went bang and bang will stop the
constitutional rights of these | 0:12:37 | 0:12:42 | |
marches and their rights for
citizens of the United States, they | 0:12:42 | 0:12:47 | |
should be protected so they do not
get their heads broken and are sent | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
to hospital. It is religious
controversy. Does it worry that it | 0:12:51 | 0:12:56 | |
will boil up when you get to the
States? It worries me. I hope | 0:12:56 | 0:13:02 | |
everything will be right when you
get to the end of the day. -- will | 0:13:02 | 0:13:08 | |
be all right. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |

The latest headlines... | 0:13:12 | 0:13:17 | |
President Assad says the Government
assault on Eastern Ghouta must | 0:13:17 | 0:13:21 | |
continue with civilians fleeing the
rebel-held enclave. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:31 | |
Millions have been voting in the
election in Italy. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:35 | |
Not long to go now before
the film industry's | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
biggest event of the year
- the Oscars. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
This year's event comes
with Hollywood still reeling | 0:13:40 | 0:13:41 | |
from the allegations of sexual
harassment and sexual | 0:13:41 | 0:13:43 | |
assault against several
high profile figures, | 0:13:43 | 0:13:51 | |
These are the live pictures. Camera
crews and genocide gathering outside | 0:13:51 | 0:13:57 | |
the red carpet area where pretty
soon we will see the stars parade. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:02 | |
-- and journalists. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:08 | |
Will Gompertz reports. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
Here on a still concealed
Oscars red carpet, just | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
about everybody has got an opinion
about what is going | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
to happen tonight. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:17 | |
But what does a genuine Hollywood
insider, with her ear | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 | |
to the ground think? | 0:14:19 | 0:14:20 | |
Does she expect there to be
a post-Weinstein reaction that might | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
change how Academy members vote? | 0:14:23 | 0:14:28 | |
I don't think so. Harvey Weinstein
has changed the scope of awards | 0:14:28 | 0:14:34 | |
season and what people ask about on
red carpets and what they wear, how | 0:14:34 | 0:14:39 | |
the whole industry is changing. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
In terms of voting on the Oscars,
I don't think that there will be | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
a real effect on who wins
and who loses. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
My daughter, Angela was... | 0:14:46 | 0:14:47 | |
I would be surprised
if Three Billboards repeated | 0:14:47 | 0:14:49 | |
its Bafta success
and won Best PPicture. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
That movie is quite polarising among
American Academy members. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:57 | |
The Shape of Water,
Guillermo Del Toro's film, is one | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
that has won a lot of the precursor
awards that lead up to the Oscars, | 0:15:01 | 0:15:05 | |
so that seems to be sort
of a rising contender. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:07 | |
Who is going to win? | 0:15:07 | 0:15:08 | |
I would put my money on Get Out. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
Chris was just telling me
how he felt much more | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
comfortable with my being here. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:14 | |
Noted. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:15 | |
What about Best Actor? | 0:15:15 | 0:15:16 | |
You cannot reason with a tiger! | 0:15:16 | 0:15:17 | |
Not when your head is in its mouth. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
The front runner for Best Actor
is Gary Oldman for Darkest Hour, | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
for whom this is, in many ways,
possibly a lifetime | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |
achievement award. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:27 | |
There is an outside contender,
Timothee Chalamet for | 0:15:27 | 0:15:29 | |
Call Me By Your Name. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:30 | |
He has kind of captured,
what I think of as the | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
ingenue spot this year. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:35 | |
This year it is seemingly held by a
beautiful young man. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:42 | |
Surely Francis McDormand
is a shoo-in as Best Actress for her | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
performance in Three Billboards
as a grieving, seething mother. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:52 | |
Her performance in Three
Billboards... | 0:15:52 | 0:15:57 | |
If there is any movie that sort
of captured the #MeToo movement | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
and the idea of female rage,
surely it is this one. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
And what about Greta Gerwig
and her film Lady Bird? | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
Could she become just the second
woman in the history | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
of the Oscars to walk away
with the Best Director prize? | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
I think Greta Gerwig is a long shot. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:12 | |
I think her being nominated is
a milestone for a female director. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:20 | |
It has happens so rarely. Kathryn
Bigelow is the anyone who has won in | 0:16:20 | 0:16:24 | |
the category. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:28 | |
Three, two, one. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:29 | |
Ready? | 0:16:29 | 0:16:30 | |
Action! | 0:16:30 | 0:16:31 | |
Guillermo Del Toro is the person
I would put my money on. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
This could indeed be the year
that The Shape of Water is the film | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
that makes the biggest... | 0:16:37 | 0:16:38 | |
Splash? | 0:16:38 | 0:16:39 | |
Will Gompertz, BBC News, Hollywood. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:45 | |
Let's go live to Hollywood. You are
looking stunning. We can see people | 0:16:45 | 0:16:51 | |
are riding behind you. What is your
sense, our people focused on the | 0:16:51 | 0:16:58 | |
films all the controversy? It is
impossible to separate the two. This | 0:16:58 | 0:17:03 | |
is the culmination of the awards
season with the biggest awards yet | 0:17:03 | 0:17:07 | |
to come. People are celebrating some
of the most adverse range of movies | 0:17:07 | 0:17:11 | |
we have had for best picture
nominee. We have tragic comedies in | 0:17:11 | 0:17:16 | |
Three Billboards to romances in Call
Me By Your Name, and The Shape Of | 0:17:16 | 0:17:27 | |
Water. Among those films we have
seen a lot of diversity and | 0:17:27 | 0:17:31 | |
storylines talking about the
underdogs, the underrepresented, | 0:17:31 | 0:17:36 | |
capturing the culture right now.
There are very real controversy | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
surrounding the Oscars. The Me Too
movement is capturing the fact that | 0:17:39 | 0:17:45 | |
there has been rampant sexual abuse
in this industry which Harvey | 0:17:45 | 0:17:50 | |
Weinstein has come to symbolise.
Also the underrepresentation of | 0:17:50 | 0:17:56 | |
minorities in Hollywood. I expect in
a ceremony for all of that really to | 0:17:56 | 0:18:00 | |
come to light. We can see the
excitement behind you already. Also | 0:18:00 | 0:18:05 | |
a change in the presenter line-up.
Casey Affleck has withdrawn, hasn't | 0:18:05 | 0:18:12 | |
he? There has been a lot of conflict
because he has been accused of | 0:18:12 | 0:18:18 | |
sexual assault. He denied and said
they had settled the matter. That | 0:18:18 | 0:18:23 | |
was going to overshadow the
tradition of having the person who | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
won best actor present the best
actress award. He withdrew and said | 0:18:26 | 0:18:31 | |
he will not be attending the Oscars.
The Academy thanked him for that and | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
said they want the focus to be on
winners. Instead we are going to be | 0:18:34 | 0:18:39 | |
having Jodie Foster and Jennifer
Lawrence presents best actress and | 0:18:39 | 0:18:43 | |
also, for best actor, we're going to
have Jane Fonda and Heron Mellon -- | 0:18:43 | 0:18:49 | |
Helen Mirren presenting that. Thank
you very much. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:56 | |
We will of course bring
you all the winners | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
and the reaction from the red carpet
here on World News, | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
which kicks at 0100 GMT. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:02 | |
And you can find much
more on the Academy | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
Awards on our website. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:11 | |
Now the sport. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:19 | |
Talking of the red carpet it
certainly hasn't been rolled out in | 0:19:19 | 0:19:24 | |
Central London. The pressure has
increased on Arsene Wenger. Brighton | 0:19:24 | 0:19:29 | |
& Hove Albion were 2-1 winners over
the gunners. Record signing barmy | 0:19:29 | 0:19:37 | |
Yanks scored for Arsenal. Arsene
Wenger's sign of four points behind | 0:19:37 | 0:19:43 | |
Tottenham. It took us a while to get
into the game. They were sharper us | 0:19:43 | 0:19:53 | |
on the ball. We made some defensive
mistakes. In the second half it was | 0:19:53 | 0:19:59 | |
all us but we could not find a goal.
We are going through a tough time. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:05 | |
Of course it is difficult at the
moment. As tough as you can | 0:20:05 | 0:20:10 | |
remember, do you think, this week?
Three defeats back-to-back. It never | 0:20:10 | 0:20:15 | |
happened to me in my life. It hit me
on the confident side and you could | 0:20:15 | 0:20:21 | |
see the team at the moment struggles
a bit. A Barnardo 's silver goal | 0:20:21 | 0:20:27 | |
proved the difference as Manchester
City extended their lead at the top | 0:20:27 | 0:20:31 | |
of the table to 18 points. The blues
managed just three shots on goal | 0:20:31 | 0:20:37 | |
throughout the game and are
languishing five points of the | 0:20:37 | 0:20:42 | |
Champions League qualification
places. Pep Guardiola is on target | 0:20:42 | 0:20:47 | |
to win the title in three different
countries. 18, a strong team, like | 0:20:47 | 0:20:57 | |
Chelsea, are still the champions. We
did not concede one shot on target. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:07 | |
Against the Chelsea players,
everybody was involved and I was | 0:21:07 | 0:21:13 | |
very happy. Lionel Messi scored his
600th career goal from a wonderfully | 0:21:13 | 0:21:18 | |
struck free kick. They are eight
points clear of the division. The | 0:21:18 | 0:21:29 | |
Atletico defence only conceded 12
goals in 27 games. The Catalans | 0:21:29 | 0:21:34 | |
remain unbeaten this year. They
almost scored a late equaliser only | 0:21:34 | 0:21:41 | |
to have it ruled out for offside.
Elsewhere in Spain, Valencia lead | 0:21:41 | 0:21:47 | |
real Bettis in Sunday's other big
clash. The Fiorentina captain has | 0:21:47 | 0:21:59 | |
died after a sudden illness. The
Florence -based outfit was scheduled | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
to play Udinese. He joined the team
and made 58 appearances for them. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:19 | |
Sir Roger Bannister, the first man
to break the four-minute mile, has | 0:22:19 | 0:22:23 | |

British co-captain he made some
mistakes but held his nerve to claim | 0:23:02 | 0:23:06 | |
the gold. The Burundi athlete was in
a class of her own and defended her | 0:23:06 | 0:23:17 | |
title. The fastest time of the world
in 2018. Thank you. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:31 | |
Sir Roger Bannister -
the first man to run a mile | 0:23:31 | 0:23:34 | |
in under four minutes -
has died at the age of 88. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:37 | |
He set the record on a track
in Oxford in 1954 - | 0:23:37 | 0:23:40 | |
later winning the gold at the same
distance at that year's | 0:23:40 | 0:23:42 | |
Commonwealth Games. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:43 | |

NEWSREEL: 25-year-old Roger
Bannister, third from the left. | 0:23:57 | 0:23:59 | |
There are some moments of sporting
history which become part | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
of the world's history. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:02 | |
He's decided this
is the right moment. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
What Roger Bannister achieved
in 1954 was like a lunar landing | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
for 20th century sport. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:08 | |
Bannister's old friend and rival
Chris Chataway is in third place, | 0:24:08 | 0:24:10 | |
waiting to take over as pacer. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:12 | |
To run a mile and stop
the clock before it reached | 0:24:12 | 0:24:14 | |
four minutes in 1954,
this was a magical number, | 0:24:14 | 0:24:17 | |
a barrier of human achievement. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:18 | |
A feat that would redefine
what was humanly possible. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:20 | |
And it would fall to a young medical
student to achieve it. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:23 | |
After two-and-a-half laps,
Brasher gives way to Chataway. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:25 | |
Bannister, a superb tactician, has
suffered some criticism in the past | 0:24:25 | 0:24:27 | |
for adopting his own rather
unorthodox training methods. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:29 | |
But they are paying dividends now. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:32 | |
At this point it
becomes quite painful. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:32 | |
I overtake Chris Chataway
and begin the finish. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
And here he comes. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:36 | |
Bannister goes streaking forward
with about 250 yards to the tapes. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:40 | |
Every stride counted. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:42 | |
The tape broke at three
minutes 59.4 seconds. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:48 | |
And Bannister has done it. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:50 | |
Though he is out on his feet,
his coach and team manager tell him | 0:24:50 | 0:24:53 | |
he has achieved his ambition. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:55 | |
It might have felt like the world
stopped when that clock stopped. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:58 | |
Four minute mile was a sporting
catch phrase everyone recognised. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:02 | |
There was certainly a feeling of it
being a national event and something | 0:25:02 | 0:25:06 | |
of a landmark for the country. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:17 | |
I am overwhelmed and delighted at
being able to do it today. I was | 0:25:19 | 0:25:27 | |
very lucky. Sir Roger Bannister was
knighted in 1995. He regarded his | 0:25:27 | 0:25:33 | |
work as a neurologist as more
consistent. He described the gentle | 0:25:33 | 0:25:40 | |
irony when he was diagnosed with
Parkinson's disease. His training | 0:25:40 | 0:25:50 | |
would have been half an hour a day
on the cinder track. He was perhaps | 0:25:50 | 0:25:57 | |
sport's last great amateur. Sir
Roger Bannister, who | 0:25:57 | 0:26:03 |
