10:30 pm
the film has been directed by his sonjason. our sports editor dan roan has been speaking to both of them at old trafford. sir alex, tell me, what was it like revisiting the most important moments of your life, both good and bad? in my career i never used reflection as part of my management. i always looked forward and the next day was the most important day to me. the reflection was quite powerful for me. you know, i realised... "god, did we do that?" recounting hisjourney from his working class roots in glasgow, sir alex ferguson never give in, released later this month, follows the iconic scotsman�*s playing and managerial career, as well as the more personal side of a man who won it all. the impossible dream... i didn't want to fail, i couldn't fail. that was always a driving force for me.
10:31 pm
football management is such a sacrifice that you don't have time for family. did you feel a sense of great responsibility, jason, to do your father's remarkable careerjustice? yeah, idid. but then i quite quickly flipped that from the point of view of looking at it and utilising the relationship we have as a tool to make something that was very personal and intimate. ambulance service. my dad has collapsed. alexander ferguson. and for the first time, the circumstances surrounding the devastating brain haemorrhage that ferguson suffered three years ago are revealed. i tried to get out of my bed and just collapsed. i fell against the shoe rack and all the shoes fell out and made a noise, and cathy, fortunately, was downstairs. she came up and i don't remember a thing from then. i was lucky. what was your greatest fear at that moment? my memory. without doubt. if i lost my memory, it's not me. and then when i lost my voice, i was a bit terrified to be honest with you.
10:32 pm
if i go tomorrow, i'll be grateful for the three years extra i had. the film ends with ferguson's defining triumph in the 1999 final of the champions league, a competition recently threatened by the proposed european super league. united's fans storming old trafford in protest at the role of the club's owners in the failed plot. what did you make of that and what's happened since? every club should have that dream. you cannot ever forget the real reason for football, that the smallest guy can climb to the top of everest, we can't do without that. something would be lost. lost. ferguson won 38 trophies over more than a quarter of a century at united. the complete control he had at old trafford is increasingly rare in management today, with the shift towards player power. they are more fragile, they need more care. it's become a more protective life.
10:33 pm
do you think that you would find it harder, if starting your managerial career today? personally, i don't think so. i think i had that personality and the drive to do well, and the hunger. the good ones will find a way. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. good night. this is not an indian problem. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the chief executive of uk musicjamie njoku—goodwin who's also a former government special adviser. and also with us is the broadcaster and writer for the jacobin dawn foster. a warm welcome back it's good to see
10:34 pm
you. jamie, did i get your name right or have i completely miss pronounce it? i rather be clear this up pronounce it? i rather be clear this up now at the start. otherwise it will both be too embarrassed to say. so i do say the end, brilliant. just to bring you up—to—date with different pages. the financial times, which goes big on david cameron's select committee appearance, where he defended his lobbying of ministers on behalf of greensill capital. on the same story, the metro says the former pm travelled to cornwall on lex greensill�*s private jet whilelobbying the government. the guardian goes with the cameron story — but also has an image from that stand—off between protestors and immigration enforcement officers in glasgow. the yorkshire post says local restrictions may be imposed, due to the recent spread of the indian variant. the pm is under pressure to up vaccination rates in worst affected areas, according to the mirror. the mail takes a swipe at prince harry, over comments
10:35 pm
he made to a us podcast about the royal family. there's a similar look to the sun, which says the duke of sussex has blasted his father's parenting. so let's begin... terrifying thing for any parent when the child comments on the parenting skills. the independent and this is the worrying question about what happens with this new variant. we are told that the vaccines will help protect us from getting seriously ill. but nonetheless there is some anger at least in lancashire but an effort to provide search oxidation has been blocked by the nhs. what's auoin on? i has been blocked by the nhs. what's going on? i think _ has been blocked by the nhs. what's going on? i think essentially - has been blocked by the nhs. what's going on? i think essentially they - going on? i think essentially they will be some worry that any variance won't essentially be covered by the new vaccine. i think the matter what happens there will always be that worry with coronavirus. we see this with flu every year. every single year we have to essentially develop
10:36 pm
several new flu vaccines. i think this will happen with coronavirus. essentially we will have to keep developing new coronavirus vaccines to make sure it doesn't keep developing over and over again. we've already seen this. there are new variance developing. and we are told that essentially some of the original coronavirus vaccines are effective against the developing variance but some of them will be. and we will essentially have to develop new vaccines for all the new parents. i think there will be some panic. but i think we do have to view the same way we view flu. i think people are panicking but we do have to view it and saying we beat cold, we beat flu every year. it develops the same way and were panicking because we have been inside all year, essentially. do you
10:37 pm
look at this — inside all year, essentially. do you look at this and _ inside all year, essentially. do you look at this and think _ inside all year, essentially. do you look at this and think "now- inside all year, essentially. do you| look at this and think "now worried about the relaxation, and worried about the relaxation, and worried about everything opening up". or have you ever to get to this place that says like dawn has got to and being pragmatic about the risks and the rewards of greater relaxation combined with vaccination? we all want to get _ combined with vaccination? we all want to get to _ combined with vaccination? we all want to get to a — combined with vaccination? we all want to get to a point _ combined with vaccination? we all want to get to a point where - combined with vaccination? we all want to get to a point where we i combined with vaccination? we all. want to get to a point where we open safely— want to get to a point where we open safely but _ want to get to a point where we open safely but none of us want to get to a point _ safely but none of us want to get to a point finding ourselves back and more _ a point finding ourselves back and more restrictions. obviously, the fear has — more restrictions. obviously, the fear has always been on this route our restriction there is some sort of new_ our restriction there is some sort of new variant might come along and knock_ of new variant might come along and knock things off course. that's heightened at the moment when we are three. _ heightened at the moment when we are three. four_ heightened at the moment when we are three, four days away to the move to stage _ three, four days away to the move to stage i“ _ three, four days away to the move to stage iii with indoor mixing allowed again _ stage iii with indoor mixing allowed again it's _ stage iii with indoor mixing allowed again. it's obviously of concern but we always— again. it's obviously of concern but we always expect that they would be community variance. the question is are they— community variance. the question is are they going to be vaccine resistant, are they more transmissible? there doesn't seem to be of any— transmissible? there doesn't seem to be of any evidence at the moment that there — be of any evidence at the moment that there are resistant to the

10:41 pm
clearly doesn't feel any pressure to stabilise the government at all. it's absolutely awful for everybody who has been forced out of their homes. it's absolutely appalling and it is a terrible breach of human rights for so many people who can't return to their homelands.- return to their homelands. jamie, what's so interesting _ return to their homelands. jamie, what's so interesting picked - return to their homelands. jamie, what's so interesting picked up i return to their homelands. jamie, j what's so interesting picked up on the headline in the ft, is really the headline in the ft, is really the streetcar suits between due and arabs. this is the disturbing fresh twist on a very old conflicts. where is people were about the tensions have rubbed along as neighbours. i think a fifth of the population of israel is of arab descent. they are now in hand—to—hand combat. israel is of arab descent. they are now in hand-to-hand combat. indeed. so ou've now in hand-to-hand combat. indeed. so you've got — now in hand-to-hand combat. indeed.

10:44 pm
through. he seemed to act as though a payday loan service for nurses with the acts of kindness with a p didn't seem to understand exactly what people are going through throughout coronavirus. i think he got really nailed when she said the 56 messages that he had sent it to the treasury in one day and said that it was more like into stocking them lobbying. he really got nailed by the questions that were actually sent to him throughout this. but he had no answers. it was very obvious watching that, watching him answer and seeing how easily he was angered and seeing how easily he was angered and riled, etc that we are watching and riled, etc that we are watching a man who was and then complain that he wasn't of guidance. and then former prime ministers were given
10:45 pm
enough guidance on how to make money without breaking rules after they'd resigned. and anybody watching it, anybody who had a minimum wagejob oran anybody who had a minimum wagejob or an average paintjob must�*ve felt watching this man claimed that he needed a bit of guidance on how to make multi millions. without breaking the law. it was genuinely incredible. brute breaking the law. it was genuinely incredible. ~ , ., �* incredible. we should say, he hasn't broken any rules as far as anybody could tell at the moment. but do you think those are the right rules is obviously a second point. the metro is putting sleazy. it seized on him using the private plane that lex greensill who then was his employer owns to be able to travel between london and uk airport in which he has a home. what do you make around the papers? i have to say, there's not much sympathetic coverage so far in the front pages. we haven't seen all the front pages but the ones we've seen so far, they're not
