been offered the celtic manager's job permanently after the completion of an historic "treble treble". celtic beat hearts 2—1 to win the scottish cup. here's chris mclaughlin. the 134th scottish cup final. for celtic, though, three was the magic number. their prize — a treble for the third year in a row. for the men in maroon, a single—single would do just fine. the first half was pretty much like the mid—may glasgow weather — all a little bit dull. hearts sat in to soak up what celtic could offer, and despite this edouard chance, the champions offered up very little. but, shortly after the break, the goal the game was crying out for. this could be a big moment. it could be a very, very big moment! first blood to the underdogs, but their lead didn't last long. celtic pushed, hearts tripped, penalty given. edouard's leveller providing relief

for those in green and white. it all got a little bit stodgy again until ten minutes before the end. with history in their sights, edouard once again made hampden roar. a victory, silverware, and enough for neil lennon to be offered the celtic job on a permanent basis. it wasn't their best performance. these supporters won't care about that, but celtic have made world football history. the treble—treble is theirs. chris mclaughlin, bbc news, hampden park. well done to them. it is 5:32 a.m.. brea kfast well done to them. it is 5:32 a.m.. breakfast is coming up at six a.m.. now on bbc news it's time to witness history — which this month features five stories from lgbt history to mark 50 years since the stonewall riots.

hello and welcome to witness history with me, ben hunte. we are in new york with a special edition to mark lg bt york with a special edition to mark lgbt pride. today we have some extra ordinary moments in the past, coming up, told to us by the people who we re up, told to us by the people who were there. in this programme we will hear about the struggle for lg bt rights will hear about the struggle for lgbt rights in uganda, look back at the lesbian activist sue invaded a bbc news studio in the uk, will hear from the danish couple who made history having the world's first same—sex civil union. and we will speak to the former partner of terrence higgins, who helped form the hugely influential hiv and aids trust. but first a story that began right here in new york. in 1969 the stonewall inn was one of very few 93v stonewall inn was one of very few gay bars in the city. a police raid onjune gay bars in the city. a police raid on june 28 of gay bars in the city. a police raid onjune 28 of that year sparked several nights of protesting. it was

the moment that the lgbt community has said enough is enough in the modern gay rights movement was born. the act of homosexuality was illegal, when i crocombe m49 of the 50 states. they were a real danger to me. —— when i grew up. he was a chance for me to finally express my feelings about what had been done to me as feelings about what had been done to measa feelings about what had been done to me as a young gay kid growing up in an anti—gay society. and wasn't alone. people wanted to show their anger and resentment at the police for all their years of brutality and intolerance. they liked to get their jollies beating us because they would find us in cruising areas and the dark movie houses, outside on the dark movie houses, outside on the street, in a bar, in a part, whatever. —— park. so these two little blocks on christopher street, which was in greenwich village, was

oui’ which was in greenwich village, was our one little refuge we found, which was at nighttime when nobody else cared. we found places that we could sit, that we could talk, and it may not have been a great place, you know, for most people, but it was our place. the stonewall bulb was our place. the stonewall bulb was one of the gay bars. the first night of rebellion i was hanging out just a block away. they heard the sirens, the bars, they were raiding the stonewall bar. my reaction was to run towards the bar. because that is where the excitement was. i was 20 years old. and in that crowd were, you know, obviously drag queens and people who were effeminate males. and then these quys effeminate males. and then these guys who look like regular guys like me. and we were all together and the anger was towards them, the police. people started yelling at them and started tossing coins and stuff started tossing coins and stuff started coming flying from different

directions. the police then went inside for shelter. this parking metre was partially out of the ground that apparently a car or a truck had hit. theyjoin three other people, we lifted up the parking metre and we used it as a battering ram on the doors of the stonewall, because we wanted to get to the cops. i wanted to kill the cops. that's how i feel. we would have really hurt those cops if they had not brought more policemen. and it went on for several nights. the police were absolutely shocked. they had never before seen gay people in such resistance. we found our strength and ourselves and each other. on the anniversary of the stonewall rebellion we wanted to commemorate it. we decided on doing a march. it wasn't a march two just protest, it was a march to celebrate who we are, to be proud and excited

and happy to be gay. we made it to central park. we were very thrilled with ourselves and our numbers. and it showed that we could do more. and every year more and more people come to march in theirfirst every year more and more people come to march in their first open every year more and more people come to march in theirfirst open pride march in the light in public. it's very empowering for everyone of us. and it's still very emotional for me. we started a tradition. a tradition of respect, of pride, of joyi, of community. tradition of respect, of pride, of joyi, of community. john o'brien are still actively campaigning for lgbt human rights was not currently coming over 70 countries around the world, being gay is illegal. in uganda in 2009, and tried to increase already strict punishment for homosexuality. they argued for

life imprisonment and even the death penalty. well, victor, transmen, was one of the first lgbt human rights activists to go public in uganda. uganda already has a law that can be used against homosexuality, but the new backbench bill goes much further. the penalty for gay sex could be death. i got death rates. my could be death. i got death rates. my children got death threats. the story of lg bt my children got death threats. the story of lgbt activism was lonely, sometimes. but i've felt we are not just going to be buried like this. ina just going to be buried like this. in a country where biblical values are deeply ingrained, homosexuality is generally deployed. my family was very conservative family, a staunch catholic family. me being the first bond girl then. they had issues with gender identity. i transgressed gender. —— first born. from this oh

my started being aware of my existence. they bought me a very nice yellow dress. and i went and changed. i've bought football shorts. i felt like comfortable that way. and then when i came out my father was in the hallway and he gave me a slap and he said go back and dress up appropriately. and then i put on that yellow dress and insight i felt like was different 110w. insight i felt like was different now. i wasn't proud anymore, wasn't happy anymore. i've fought against my sexual orientation for so many yea rs. my sexual orientation for so many years. i was on my own because my family didn't want anything to do with me at that point. and, eventually, i was homeless. so i've felt that they needed to heal from this thing that was causing me suffering. in so i took myself to churches. reject sodomy! they were praying for me. and then as they

started praying, they started stripping me off, it was my close making mea stripping me off, it was my close making me a man. so they stripped me naked. and they started to lay their hands on me. and these are boys and their pastor. they laid hands on my genital area, because they said it was the centre of it all. and that is when i said it was torture. but i said "this is hu wei am" was top inside me i've felt it was ok to be the way that i was —— guehai. and that god is not mad at me. seeing as homosexuality here is illegal, the 93v homosexuality here is illegal, the gay scene is pretty much underground. i went to that bar and they just started smiling, underground. i went to that bar and theyjust started smiling, life had come. they didn't want to go back home when i went there. because they met lesbians, proud ones. people dressed like me, people expressing

themselves like me, people in love with other women. they had their partners me. and i was like they had reached heaven. last year, under the headline "hang them" a tabloid magazine published the names and addresses of 100 gay men and lesbians. the effects of that publication were major. they were horrible. a loss of people during that period lost jobs, horrible. a loss of people during that period lostjobs, were evicted from homes, killed. —— a lot of. applause lawyers and activists had challenged the end homosexuality act on the grounds that it violated human rights. my children know me as daddy and they call me daddy. they don't say hi, trans— daddy, hi, former lesbian trans— daddy. they call me daddy. it shouldn't matter. but it matters now that identify as a

transgender man matters now that identify as a tra nsgender man because matters now that identify as a transgender man because that is a beginning of a conversation of what transgender is. not for me, because they have survived, but there are people who are still struggling to come out or to even ask for what they need. so then it matters. victor musaka on the fight against discrimination in uganda. next, the 23rd of may 1988 a group of lesbians invaded a live bbc news studio in london. they were protesting new laws limiting lg bt london. they were protesting new laws limiting lgbt rates in the uk. this is one of the women there. the six 0'clock news from the bbc. in the house of lords a vote is taking place now... protesting about rights for lesbian and gay people. in general, written was quite a hostile environment in the 1980s for

the lgbt community, about 75% of people that it was mostly always wrong to be gay. similar by walking down the street, if somebody identified you as lesbian or gay you could get abuse and you could be violently attacked, just for being. way obviously don't want children taught the game lesbian lifestyle is natural or normal. it is not. it never has been. and it never will be. my overriding concern is the promotion of hot positive images of homosexuality in primary schools and right through. that is what is causing many people offence. there was a catalyst moment where a book was a catalyst moment where a book was published about a girl who lives with her two dads. and it sort of kicked off a moral panic in parliament stop what we were told we we re parliament stop what we were told we were doing was destroying the heterosexual family. so that lobby gi’oup heterosexual family. so that lobby group to get this cause enacted.

section 28 and local authorities from promoting homosexuality. the second part of it banned the teaching of the acceptability of homosexuality in schools stop basically it meant the closing down of services. so young people became very vulnerable, particularly. and schools couldn't protect people from being bullied. all kinds of groups all over the country began to protest. actor emma keller was head ofa protest. actor emma keller was head of a procession that stretched nearly two miles. a group of lesbians chained themselves to buckingham palace gates dressed as suffragettes. a group of cells into the house of lords. through all of the house of lords. through all of the campaigning, prior to the enactment, we could not get the media to understand what the impact was going to be on our community, oui’ was going to be on our community, our children. so, really, the only thing left was to actually be then used by being on the news. we met outside television centre. we managed to get through the security. the whole thing was timing, really.

and as soon as the lights changed we barged into the studio. the whole place went mad. i got smacked to the ground by i don't know how many people. one of our number managed to handcuff herself to a camera. the other one got behind the newsdesk, where she was quite violently subdued by nicholas witchell, who has since apologised. sue carried on trying to read the news. and they do apologise if you are hearing quite a lot of noise in the studio at the moment. i'm afraid that we have rather been invaded. in the footage it's all got rather muffled and you could hear little muffled shouts of "stop this section 28". but eventually we were all arrested. he did get huge media coverage. the headlines were all about learning lesbians. but over time and beyond that i've heard from quite a lot of people what it meant to them as young lg bt people people what it meant to them as young lgbt people in their own home, knowing that they were gay but maybe

not out, it just knowing that they were gay but maybe not out, itjust felt knowing that they were gay but maybe not out, it just felt a knowing that they were gay but maybe not out, itjust felt a little bit empowering. here we are again a television centre 30 years later. clearly things are a lot better than they we re things are a lot better than they were in the 1980s but it has com pletely were in the 1980s but it has completely changed and there are dangerous and serious pockets of this homophobia. we need to be in solidarity with all communities worldwide who are in danger and fear of their lives. i'm glad we did it dig the fact we are here today means the story has been remembered. you can watch witness history every month on bbc news channel or catch up month on bbc news channel or catch up with our films online and over 1000 radio programmes. just search bbc witness history. in denmark in 1989 a couple made history when they became one of the first in the world to bejoined in a same—sex union. they told us all about it it was a

very special day for us. it was a marvellous day. we had been fighting for the partnership for many years. we had a right—wing government in denmark and the government was against it. i had been a vicarfor many years. i think it was difficult for many people and they were confronted, what do you think about having a gay vicar. many people conflated homosexuality with dirt. coming out for me was very difficult. i came from a village, a family where homosexuality was not discussed. i got married and got children. it was only my wife who knew that i was interested in other guys. she said you have to live the

life which is yours. when i met 0ve i knew this was the man for me. denmark is usually thought of as a liberal and tolerant country and this summer they have taken that tolerance a degree further. in may they passed a law allowing homosexuals to enter into registered partnerships. partnerships they think of as marriage. quietly at the ce ntre think of as marriage. quietly at the centre of all the excitement, these men are making history. ithought the other day when i went to the town hall to get papers to partnership i was so happy. for the first time i could allow myself to have the same feeling as everyone else who is going to be married. i was so else who is going to be married. i was so happy. the partnership law was so happy. the partnership law was very much like a normal lawful man and women only one of the two had to be a danish citizen. you are

not allowed to adopt. you were not allowed to have your partnership registered in a church. they were the three things that departed from normal marriage, otherwise it was just like marriage. both of us thought, at last, that the day had come to us. the sun was shining and we we re come to us. the sun was shining and we were dripping in horse carriages through copenhagen. it was a nice trip to remember. —— we were driven in horse carriages. there were 11 couples that day at city hall and we we re couples that day at city hall and we were couple number two. it was a very strange day. there were so many journalists and photographs. it was,

ina way, journalists and photographs. it was, in a way, difficult to be there yourself. whether you are married before a mayor at a city hall or a vicar ina before a mayor at a city hall or a vicar in a church, it is the same marriage to god. i have always talked about even as my husband and i think it is strange to call him my partner. denmark has had this law for 25 years. it has been normal. in fa ct, for 25 years. it has been normal. in fact, i sometimes think it has been so long that it isn't worth discussing. ivan and 0ve, one of the first couples in the world to enter into a civil partnership. we now had back to london for a story on one of

the darkest periods of lgbt history. terrence higgins in 1982 died from hiv/aids, one of the first people in the uk to be killed by the disease. and let his partner to set up the terence higgins trust that went on to become one of your‘s hiv and sexual health charities. —— one of europe's. when i met terry i was 18 and he was 35 at the time. i had never had a boyfriend and was not particularly comfortable in the gay community at all. terry was just a very nice guy, a very warm guy to me. he always used to cook for me because i was no good at cooking. used to make sure i ate. he was also very handsome, i thought, and very attractive. in 1982 he started to

get less energetic and he was always complaining about headaches. but i was away at one point and i came back and heard that terry had found out had collapsed —— that terry had collapsed in a nightclub and been taken into collapsed in a nightclub and been ta ken into hospital. collapsed in a nightclub and been taken into hospital. and he was very sick. we were starting to hear about this american disease, what was being called gay —related immune deficiency at that time. in new york, this is greenwich village. here, the killer disease has taken its greatest toll of death and fear amongst those who walk in its shadow. we still had no idea what it was. was at a lifestyle thing? some kind of infection? what was it. until terry got ill we had not heard of any cases in britain. the last timei of any cases in britain. the last time i went i was going to take some ice lollies and lucozade for him. i went up to the ward and there were

curtains around his bed and i was standing just a few feet away and i could see there was quite some activity inside. ijust stood there. then one of the nurses in one of the physicians came around and said that they were sorry to tell me that terry had just died. they had been trying to resuscitate him as i had been standing at the end of the bed a few feet away from the end of the bed. and it was... that was hard. very ha rd bed. and it was... that was hard. very hard thing to see. and here. the funeral of terry higgins took place here at the crematorium in north london. the cause of death was toxoplasmosis, a brain infection that most people can tame but in his case proved fatal. after terry died

there was a virus discovered and then tests developed. it became known as hiv. there were deaths upon deaths. i lost... known as hiv. there were deaths upon deaths. ilost... in known as hiv. there were deaths upon deaths. i lost... in my diaries in the back of it i have names. i stopped counting at 35 names. and those were people that i knew closely enough to call a friend. we realise that something needed to be done and so we set up an organisation, a charity, to do some advocacy around this and safe sex information and messages. we wanted to name it after terry because of what he meant to us. the terence higgins trust was europe's first hiv, or aids charity and i am

really, really pleased that it still exists now. rupert whitaker went on to become a leading immunologist. and that is all for that special lg bt and that is all for that special lgbt edition of witness history. we will be back next month with more first—hand accounts of extraordinary moments from around the globe. for now, from me here in stonewalling new york, goodbye. —— here in stonewall, new york. hello. for some, it's been a sunny start to the bank holiday weekend. we saw a high of 25 celsius in london on saturday afternoon. this is herne bay, in kent, around about the same time. for others, a very different story. cloudy, outbreaks of rain across parts of northern ireland, northern england and scotland,

and many of us will see some rain over the next few days. it'll be turning cool and breezier, as well, but also some spells of sunshine. but the rain and the strengthening breeze comes courtesy of an atlantic front working its way eastwards, likely to stall through much of the weekend across the far north of scotland. it's certainly scotland which will see the lion's share of the rain through the early hours of sunday morning, and northern scotland will keep that rain through much of the day on sunday. rain initially across northern ireland, clearing its way eastwards and turning more showery on its journey across england and wales. the rain quite patchy across east anglia and south—east england. some may stay mainly dry. behind that band of rain, a few showers, but also some sunshine. a fine afternoon across northern ireland, north—west england and wales, but quite breezy. some gusty winds coupled with that rain across northern scotland, so temperatures here just nine or 10 celsius. elsewhere, we're looking at 14—19 celsius, maybe 20 or 21 across east anglia and south—east england. any rain here will pull away through the evening. behind it, some clearer skies. still that rain continuing across scotland overnight, but slowly starting to become more showery.

a slightly cooler night as we go into the early hours of bank holiday monday. we're looking at lows of between about 7—11 celsius. so here's bank holiday monday. still some rain across scotland, sinking its way a bit further southwards, becoming slightly more showery. elsewhere, it is sunshine and showers, and the showers most frequent the further north and west you are. not so many getting across to east anglia and south—east england, but nowhere immune on bank holiday monday from a shower. in between, some spells of sunshine. that will help temperatures up to between 14 and 18 celsius, but certainly a cooler feeling day. we keep that cooler feel as we go into wednesday. 0urwinds are coming from the north or the north—west. that's always going to continue to feed some showers across. probably not quite as many as what we'll see on bank holiday monday, but some of those showers could lingerfor a time through tuesday across south—east england and east anglia. fewer showers actually on tuesday the further west you are, potentially, but again, anywhere could catch a shower. temperature—wise we're looking at 11—17 celsius on tuesday. little change, really, for wednesday and thursday. sunny spells and showers, the showers most frequent the further north and west you are,

driest further south and east. bye— bye.
