john watson is there. it talk about that lead. it means that europe only need six and a half more points which would see them win back the ryder cup but we know what makes this competition so special. it is the vibrant and loud and boisterous atmosphere created by the crowds who turn out to watch. the benefits of playing on home soil is being felt by the players because they are currently leading into macro of the four foursome matches this afternoon. that format is where each member of the team takes alternate shots with the same balls. but speculate if europe and get another couple of points on the board, that would set them up well heading into the final singles matches tomorrow. all 12 members of each team, team usa and steam europe, will play tomorrow. if they can acquire the requisite points

needed europe would win back the ryder cup. it is in american possession at the moment. they haven't won on european soil in 25 yea rs. haven't won on european soil in 25 years. team europe hoping to win six ryder cups on european soil and they are well placed at the moment. it will see them win back the ryder cup. a lot of talk about tiger woods coming into this winning his first tournament in five years. he hasn't produced his best golf so far. surprising we have seen him play back—to—back matches today. the europeans are on top of the moment. rory mcilroy playing his best. for the european captain thomas bjorn and certainly credit to him, because as one of the players that have qualified automatically by acquiring the requisite points he had those four wild card picks. sergio saad garcia, henrik stenson, ian poulter who loves this competition and paul casey, those players who have come to the board and blood europe in this dominant position heading into the final day tomorrow. —— put

a story about the soviet union's efforts to ban booze, find out about the murder of anti—apartheid campaigner steve biko, and hearfrom a former prisoner of war who build the bridge over the river choir at the bridge over the river choir at the end of the second world war. but we start with an individual who created one of the world's most widely used fitness programmes, catch to five k. in 1996 to get over a bad relationship break—upjudge clark started running. after a few weeks having caught the bug decided to create a plan to help get other people running and he put it on his website. little did he know where it would take him. i had never had particular success with this. i a lwa ys particular success with this. i always thought it was for someone else, but when i would go to a gym 01’ else, but when i would go to a gym or try running, i was met with defeat. i guess that is not for me,

iam not defeat. i guess that is not for me, i am not that kind of person. in my early 20s i had a bad break—up and in that moment i have a lot of excess energy and in that moment i have a lot of excess energy and theyjust in that moment i have a lot of excess energy and they just started running. it was something i had never enjoyed and i didn't enjoy it then. i remember putting on my shoes and going out the door and instantly thinking why am i doing this? after running for a few weeks the discomfort of it and the pain and the slowness all sort of faded away andi the slowness all sort of faded away and i began to realise this was something that could actually feel really good and rewarding. meditative even. part of what i created in that period was a schedule called couch to 5k which was intended to help people who had never gone running before they start running. —— to start running. one of the things i really wanted to do was basically figure out how do you

avoid the painful dreary horrible mmp avoid the painful dreary horrible ramp up that i went through, the idea that you have to go through a wall of discomfort in order to start running. i had a theory that maybe you could do it in a gentler way, a way that you could see some of those rewards of running much sooner. and s0 rewards of running much sooner. and sol rewards of running much sooner. and so i wrote couch to 5k with that in mind, how do you gradually start jogging mind, how do you gradually start jogging from zero and become a runner in nine weeks? but i had what turned out to be a really lucky for accurate instinct about how this stuff works, but interval training, where basically you run for 60 seconds and then walk for 90 seconds, or if it turns out that is actually there is a lot of science behind that to show how that works for introducing new kind of stress and ability into the body. at the same timei and ability into the body. at the

same time i was creating a website, s0 same time i was creating a website, sol same time i was creating a website, so i was telling everybody. i was telling my friends, my family, strangers on the intranet about how to run, the things i have learned about running and the benefits of it. but i have to say it wasn't until really the mid—2000s that suddenly the thing began to blow up. i created some community forums for this website and that started to grow people, so it wasn't necessarily the schedule that group, it was the community that grew around the programme and that grew kind of outside of me. i think it continues to that this point there are many, many communities of couch to 5k around the world. i don't have ha rd to 5k around the world. i don't have hard numbers for how many people use couch to 5k, but i estimate it has to be into the millions were tens of millions from nearly every country. anybody can run. we do it all the time as kids. we used to run until

just the point of exhaustion, laughing the whole time. he can reca ptu re laughing the whole time. he can recapture that spirit. that ability is within almost all of us. i'm still trying to get my wife and our daughter to be runners but i'm working on that. i am working on them. our next film takes us back to 1944 them. our next film takes us back to 19114 and the second world war. the allies wanted to speed up the end of the conflict through operation market garden. a paratroop drop into holland. the final objective was a bridge in our home for a young woman named... watched the parachute coming down. now in her 90s, she recalls those terrifying few days. it was to clear a corridor of the dutch rivers over 1000 troop carriers and 500 greatest took part

in this, the greatest airborne operation ever undertaken. it looked like falling stars or something. all black, the things in the air. altogether 4600 aircraft we re the air. altogether 4600 aircraft were involved in the action. altogether 10,000 men of the first british airborne division the red devils... we were excited of course. we thought we would be freed. i was 19 years old when the germans invented. the shuttle invaded. it was a vei’y invented. the shuttle invaded. it was a very difficult time in the netherlands. we hated them, from the moment we saw them. my brother was taken prisoner by the germans and

they took him to germany. my father had to go away and the germans wa nted had to go away and the germans wanted to take him to. we had not much food any more. they took our home, bought normal life was absolutely devastated. —— our normal life. the allied's plan was that the paras would take the bridges in our him and the second army would come and help them and so they would make another attack on germany from arnhem. never before had troops in landed openly so far behind enemy lines. never before had the daylight landed on this scale inattentive. we could hear the fighting, sometimes it was very near to us. you couldn't go out. there was too much shooting. god we had enough provision for six

people. more in the cellar upstairs i must say. we were so awful that we would be freed. we started to worry after three days already, some of the noise and shooting went far—away stop —— we were so we we would be freed. the second army failed to come over the river. everybody did their best but the germans fought like lions i must say. but the 10,000 men who landed itioi'e say. but the 10,000 men who landed more than 7500 were taken prisoner or lost their lives. less than one quarter came back in 60 over the river after nine of the most gallant and exhausting days of the war. after the fighting we had to leave the city and we didn't know where to go. we had to take what we had with

this, because on the signs it says leave arnhem and if you are still there at four o'clock in the afternoon you will be shot. many yea rs i afternoon you will be shot. many years i was too busy to think about that. now i am living here all along and there is more time to think. i put all these happenings in a little book for my grandchildren. my great—grandchildren. it is good that my family great—grandchildren. it is good that myfamily and great—grandchildren. it is good that my family and children know how terrible it was, what we went through. an extraordinary moment in history. after nelson mandela was jailed, a man called steve biko emerged as one of the key leaders in the anti—apartheid movement in south africa. in 1977 he was picked up by the police and thrown into jail. three weeks later he was dead. in

this moving film his friend peter jones, who was arrested at the same time, back at the events surrounding his friends death. time, back at the events surrounding his friend's death. i miss my friend steve bi ko his friend's death. i miss my friend steve biko and i am forever in his debt. steve biko and i am forever in his d e bt. steve steve biko and i am forever in his debt. steve biko is one of the people that originated the new generation of young political minded black people. the black consciousness movement. we believe that in our country, those people will have the same status before the law and they will have the same political rights before the law. the apartheid government ensured that there was no resistance against its doctrines and against its policies. there was a roadblock and they then searched the car. they found an

identity document which was mine. they then said who is peterjones? i said that as me. they said oh, and who are you, big man? is at stake? he saidi who are you, big man? is at stake? he said i am steve big 0. we were locked up together in oneself. the next morning we started getting an uneasy feeling because there were now more police and in a convoy of three car is we sped towards port elizabeth. in port elizabeth was the headquarters of the security police for that region. the building has been converted into a block of flats. steve biko was being walked to his death along this very corridor, and man poised to fill the void left behind after mandela was jailed. we were taken up to the fifth floor and we were manacled each to a separate window. one of

the senior police, a maker, came in and said now i can confirm that you are officially being detained under section six of the terrorism act dustup that is the act in which you disappear. they separated us. i can only had a chance to shout steve's name and that was the last time i saw steve alive. three weeks and three days later i had just heard a lot of commotion. many, many people singing protest songs, the cell next to mine was being filled with many people. then young men told me that they have just returned from the funeral of steve biko ulster and that was the first time i heard about the death of steve biko. i

went to may match that was my bed andi went to may match that was my bed and ijust went to may match that was my bed and i just sat there. went to may match that was my bed and ijust sat there. —— my map. with... to me it was like a huge hole in my soul, just an inconsolable at the which even today would make me weep at unexpected moments. the police said the leader of the black consciousness movement had lost his life by accident when his head struck a wall when he was being restrained. steve biko's family believe he was thrown at the wild quite deliberately by the police officers. steve biko's death and the brutality of it highlighted like no other event at the time the extent to which the apartheid regime

would go to protect itself. remember, you can watch witness every month on the bbc news channel 01’ every month on the bbc news channel or you every month on the bbc news channel 01’ you can every month on the bbc news channel or you can catch up on all our films along with more than a thousand radio programmes. just go to the online archive. now, a former british prisoner of war describes how he survived sickness, starvation and brutality as the japanese forced allied prisoners to build a railway bridge over the river over the second world war. it looks like an ordinary bridge but the past makes ita ordinary bridge but the past makes it a symbol of the suffering of human heroism. the japanese wanted

to build this railway through thailand up 700 miles to jungle, threw rocks and we were the means, we became the white colleagues. we left civilisation and entered another world, for almost four years as it turned out in the end. at that time they hated the people but did that for them. in fact if you had a rifle you would have shot the lot. i

was in place called tama can where we build the bridge over the river kwai. we would be on these chanting, japanese up to ten. you would do that all the time then. racked with malaria and doesn't treat it in by tropical ulcers and buying of cholera to starving prisoners drag themselves each day from the camps do under the burning sun. if they fight for a moment there would be guards, from any death was happy release. i had dirt, splinters from these in my leg. this guard started to break down —— the scar. it would

turn into a big ulcer. major author moon of the australian medics took me ona moon of the australian medics took me on a bamboo table and without anaesthetic he cut up my leg and he pulled out a great big tendon. and of course but saved my life. the men in theirone of course but saved my life. the men in their one next to me, he was cove red in their one next to me, he was covered with these ulcers, terrible he was. he was delirious and he was full of maggots. i remember him saying next to me. i can see the flies coming out of his mouth then. the whole length was built in the incredible time of only 14 months. every mile of the railway cost 400

human lives. every fourth sleeper represents the death of a man. but the allied prisoners more than 16,000 died, but the asians no one knows for certain but the estimate is nearly 100,000 dead. you never give up because you want to survive, it was as simple as that. he always had in the back of your mind that sometime you would be free. for our final story we head to the soviet union in 1985. worried about the effects of alcoholism the communist authorities brought down restrictions on the sale of alcohol. however within a few years the soviet economy had begun to fall apart. and so had the alcohol ban. witness talks to alexander said cope, a former communist advisor. they used to be just one image of

the soviet worker and this was it. young, efficient and above all sober. but now there is another. other sleep and halfway to dipsomaniac. translation: a quarter of all workers would have a glass of vodka because before going to work. this was widespread among our working class. the russians call alcohol the green snake and opening time the hour of the will. but the two together and the results can be disastrous. translation: i saw clearly that in a country where a quarter of all workers are alcoholics this country survives by killing its own people. that was very clear to me. the state makes billions in alcohol tax at the state has ordered its people to sober up.

translation: as someone who spoke to gorbachev often i can tell that he didn't understand what the ussr was about. of all the soviet freedoms, only one was always there. the freedom to drink. all russians love vodka. four years ambulances have patrolled city streets ticking people to special braying at centres. but medical facilities are now to be improved. the authorities say they will fight this ugly phenomenon in and remove it from soviet life. translation: as part of the campaign, alcohol sales were limited to the period from 2pm to 7pm. many wine shops were closed and most importantly only one bottle of vodka was sold per person. so if you had a birthday party you had to show

your passport to prove that it wasn't really your birthday. —— that it was really your birthday. translation: by about 1988, 1989, it became clear that the campaign was damaging. the soviet system simply collapsed. millions of people lost theirjobs. in the soviet days, if a worker had a drink before going to work, at least there was some restraint on him in the workplace. the collapse of the ussr there were no social structures any more and the alcoholic had nothing holding him

back. wouldn't it understand that and neither did gorbachev. that is all from witness this month here at the british library. we will be back next month with more first—hand accou nts next month with more first—hand a ccou nts of next month with more first—hand accounts of extraordinary moments in history. but now, from me and the rest of the witness team, goodbye. hello. on the other late september sunshine across much of england and wales through the rest of the afternoon. slightly different story further north. another land in scotla nd further north. another land in scotland much macleod, briggs of
