one could basis for this request. no one could think it would be legal for the secretary of state to simply find the votes the president needed in order to win. secretary reference parker told the president the truth, that he lost the election in georgia. but president trump did not sit tonight except that answer. instead he suggested he himself might be prosecuted. we know that president trump white house advisers reacted negatively. immediately after the call cassidy hutchinson had a conversation with chief of staff mark meadows. i said mark, ou chief of staff mark meadows. i said mark. you can't _ chief of staff mark meadows. i said mark, you can't possibly _ chief of staff mark meadows. i said mark, you can't possibly think we can pull— mark, you can't possibly think we can pull this off, that call was

president trump and barked in an effort to installjeff carr, as acting attorney general solely because what he would do what others in the department would not do. we know that trump was doing so for a specific purpose, so clark could corruptly employ the justice department authority to help persuade the states to flip electoral votes. for example, when richard donahue and jeff rosen, both appointed by president trump learned of mr clark's proposal, here is why they said they forcefully rejected it. but more importantly, this was not based _ but more importantly, this was not based on _ but more importantly, this was not based on fact this is ashley contrary— based on fact this is ashley contrary to the facts as developed over the _ contrary to the facts as developed over the last several weeks and months — over the last several weeks and months i— over the last several weeks and months. i responded to that and for the drill_ months. i responded to that and for the drill bit — months. i responded to that and for the drill bit department to insert itsetf— the drill bit department to insert itself into— the drill bit department to insert itself into the political process

as his white house counsel threatened to resign. mr chairman, i yield. your woman yields back. the chair recognises florida for an opening statement.— chair recognises florida for an opening statement. thank you, mr chairman for— opening statement. thank you, mr chairman for the _ opening statement. thank you, mr chairman for the president - opening statement. thank you, mrj chairman for the president trump's efforts— chairman for the president trump's efforts to _ chairman for the president trump's efforts to unlawfully overturn the results _ efforts to unlawfully overturn the results of — efforts to unlawfully overturn the results of the 2020 election were not limited to the big lie in pressuring state officials in the department ofjustice officials. department of justice officials. another— department ofjustice officials. another key part of the presidents effort _ another key part of the presidents effort was — another key part of the presidents effort was a scheme to assemble fake eiectors _ effort was a scheme to assemble fake eiectors to _ effort was a scheme to assemble fake electors to cast falls electoral votes — electors to cast falls electoral votes in — electors to cast falls electoral votes in the states that president trump _ votes in the states that president trump lost. this was something done not only— trump lost. this was something done not only with the presidents knowledge but also with his direct participation. rhonda mcdaniel chair of the _ participation. rhonda mcdaniel chair of the republican committee testified its committee that president trump and his attorney john eastman called her and asked her to— john eastman called her and asked her to arrange for the fake collectors to meet and rehearse the process _ collectors to meet and rehearse the process of— collectors to meet and rehearse the process of gassing fake votes. when

remarks he characterises as a meeting rather than a hearing. he said that the committee will be taking a vote on further investigative action based upon new evidence. well, we now know according to our partner network here in the united states cbs news that that vote will be on whether to subpoena the former president donald trump. let's go live to the capital now. our correspondent gary o'donoghuejoins us now. our correspondent gary o'donoghue joins us live. dramatic events, what do you make of them? that is the big question that everyone is been waiting for the answer to put up with the committee use the subpoena to insist that donald trump, and make a deposition. i think it's worth managing some expectations are that, of course because donald trump would still have the right to take the fifth amendment even if he did appear to give a deposition in front of the committee. he could simply refuse to answer any question. but the sheer

fact a congressional committee issuing a subpoena to a former president over his behaviour over an election is a truly historic moment in american politics. and it does look like we will have that perhaps the end of this hearing. i think it is pretty clear which way that vote will go. is pretty clear which way that vote will no. ., ., , is pretty clear which way that vote will no. ., .,, .,, will go. exterminate development as ou sa . will go. exterminate development as you say- this — will go. exterminate development as you say. this committee _ will go. exterminate development as you say. this committee has - you say. this committee has attempted to get steve ballin, former white house aide to give evidence, they failed on that front. not likely to have much more success i would've thought with donald trump. what do you make of that? fit trump. what do you make of that? of course the trump. what do you make of that? (ijf course the department trump. what do you make of that? of course the department ofjustice took steve bannon to court over that because it is a crime to refuse to comply with a subpoena from congress. so donald trump would potentially if he refused to come, let alone take the fifth amendment, but if he refused to come then he would be in contempt of congress. and could be prosecuted for that. adding to the myriad other legal

pieces ofjeopardy that he is already facing for the remember, there is a civil case in new york, and a criminal case which he could be part of in georgia. and then that big question of those documents that were seized from mara lago by the fbi during their inquiry into what he held onto once he left the white house. this could be another legal nightmare for the former president. but we will see how he reacts. i'm sure, because we know donald trump, i'm sure we will hear something through his social media channels about this demand when it happens. i think it's unlikely you will hear a yes or a no from him but he will say something about it because he is always maintained of course to this committee is engaged in a political witch hunt. that has been his stock in the phrase pretty much for every investigation into his behavior. but a truly momentous moment if that vote does take place without overshadowing some actually quite interesting evidence today, not least some evidence from the secret

service of the sheer number of weapons that were in the crowd on january the 5th and indeed on the morning ofjanuary six, that january the 5th and indeed on the morning of january six, that they knew people were saying outside the magnetometers, these devices that check people before they go into rallies for weapons. they found a man up a tree with a glock handgun, another at the corner of 14th and washington. if anyone knows washington, that is a mere stone's throw from the white house, found with an assault weapon. and a whole other series of other people be and seem to carry the stop doing that sort of weapons on the day. their argument is that donald trump and his inner circle knew the crowd was armed. the secret service knew that they knew and they knew what could happen if they let them loose and march them up to the capital. a former department ofjustice prosecutor and fbi consultant. joe,

still, it would be very provocative step, whether or not it actually works to be a big question. did you hear anything _ works to be a big question. did you hear anything that _ works to be a big question. did you hear anything that prev _ works to be a big question. did you hear anything that prev survived i hear anything that prev survived thoughts of criminal proceedings on the part of the us department if congress does not have the right to prosecute, what about the justice department. everyone worming to some the stuff they've heard today? thea;r the stuff they've heard today? they cannot obviously _ the stuff they've heard today? the: cannot obviously ignore it, the stuff they've heard today? ti91 cannot obviously ignore it, but it's certainly very relevant. there's great evidence that they put forth but the narrative is pretty simple and i think adam schiff probably did the best out of everyone. donald trump knew that these theories about him being the winner of the election were nonsense. he knew this because the insiders were telling him this. he privately conceded, yeah, i kinda know i lost the election and yet publicly, he kept saying that he won the election. he kept telling

millions of people, as we heard, they were given these lies and basically, he encouraging this idea that he was ready for winter. and now we have the angry, armed crowd on january now we have the angry, armed crowd onjanuary six and donald trump lets a spark and since this to congress. that's basically the narrative. it's all interesting and fascinating, but if you want to see what the donald trump did wrong, that's what it was. he wasn't negligent and acting like a sore loser come like a politician to lose an election, he was criminally reckless and that is what could potentially lead to charges. will have more in the select committee shortly but let's go to london to catch up with the rest of the days news. thank you so much, the days news. thank you so much, the news in the uk politics again, the news in the uk politics again, the chancellor has insisted that the governments position has not changed and that's despite mounting pressure

you can logistically get people there when you make the plan. we had to get this job done today and we talked to mitch about it earlier. he is not in the room right now but he was with this earlier and said, yeah, we want to expedite this and hopefully they could confine it to just one complaint, arizona, and hopefully they could confine it tojust one complaint, arizona, and then we could go and that would be moving forward with the rest of it. overriding wish is to do it at the capitol but what we are being told very directly is it's going to take days for the capitol to be ok again. we have gotten a very bad report that the commission of the house floor, there is defecation and all that kind of thing as well. i don't

think that's hard to clean up, but i do think it was more from a security standpoint of making sure that everybody is out of the building and how long will that take. ijust got off with the vice president. i got off with the vice president. i got off with the vice president. i got off with the vice president. i got off with the _ off with the vice president. i got off with the vice president—elect. 0k off with the vice president—elect. ok commit left the conversation with, he said he had the impression from mitch that mitch was wanting to get everybody back and do it there. i said we are getting a counterpoint which is that the time to clean up the pooh—pooh they are making all over, literally and figuratively, in the capital and then it could take days to get back. i at the capital and then it could take days to get back.— days to get back. i at the capitol buildin: days to get back. i at the capitol building and _ days to get back. i at the capitol building and literally _ days to get back. i at the capitol building and literally standing i days to get back. i at the capitol. building and literally standing with the us capitol police may for me what you will hear through official channels, paul irving, serjeant at arms, will inform you that there has

investigation. officerjanelle wanted to know why the rioters were made to believe that the election process was rigged. officer flynn known asked us to look into the actions and activities that resulted in the day's event. officer hodges was concerned about whether anyone in power had a role. officer dunn put it simply. get to the bottom of what happened. we have worked for more than a year to get those answers. we have conducted more than 1000 interviews and depositions. we received and reviewed hundreds of thousands of pages of documents. thanks to the tireless work of our members and investigators, we have left no doubt, none, that donald trump led an effort to upend american democracy that directly

resulted in the violence of january the 6th. he tried to take away the voice of the american people in choosing their president and replaced the will of the voters with his will to remain in power. he is the one person at the centre of the story of what happened onjanuary the 6th. 50 we want to hear from him. the committee needs to do everything in our power to tell the most complete story possible and provide recommendations to help ensure nothing like january the 6th ever happens again. we need to be fair and thorough and gain a full context for the evidence we have obtained. but the need for this committee to hear from obtained. but the need for this committee to hearfrom donald obtained. but the need for this committee to hear from donald trump goes beyond our fact—finding. committee to hear from donald trump goes beyond ourfact—finding. this is a question about accountability to the american people. he must be accountable. he is required to

police have escorted members from the room. without objection the committee stands adjourned. very dramatic proceedings today in this ninth hearing of the special committee. and we heard from liz cheney, the vice chair of the committee the, making as she has done before some very dramatic declarations. she said that there was now sufficient information, as she put it, the criminal referrals for multiple officials in regard to the attack on the us capital on the 6th of january of last year. and liz cheney went on to say we are obligated to get answers directly from the man who orchestrated the attack on the 6th of january. so by attack on the 6th of january. so by a unanimous vote the select committee has now voted to issue that subpoena to former president

donald trump, to get him to testify. let's go to capitol hill now, our correspondent is there. gary, a day of dramatic development. we didn't see this coming, did we? ida. of dramatic development. we didn't see this coming, did we?— of dramatic development. we didn't see this coming, did we? no, we did not. it see this coming, did we? no, we did not- it was — see this coming, did we? no, we did not- it was a — see this coming, did we? no, we did not. it was a question _ see this coming, did we? no, we did not. it was a question that _ see this coming, did we? no, we did not. it was a question that was - not. it was a question that was always out there is would they go as far as to subpoena a former president of the united states and there you saw it, that historic vote. 9—0. the sheerfact there you saw it, that historic vote. 9—0. the sheer fact that it took place. a committee of this house subpoena in a former president to come and give evidence in relation to the january the 6th in tempted insurrection. it begs many more questions than answers to be honest, david. will he comply in any way? will he comply and then not answer any questions? all of those options are possible. and the key thing also is that time is running out for this committee. bear in mind it is a committee set up by the democrats, who control the house of representatives. if they lose the

mid—term elections in 26 day's time, at the end of the year when a new congress comes in the republicans can simply dismantle this committee. so they have a lot of work to do, not just to try and get so they have a lot of work to do, notjust to try and get donald trump in front of them in that sort of period of time but also to finish their report and to hand that over to the public and decide whether or not to recommend criminal charges to the department ofjustice. gieen the department ofjustice. given that it isjust _ the department ofjustice. given that it is just over _ the department ofjustice. given that it isjust over two _ the department ofjustice. given that it is just over two months i that it is just over two months before the committee itself spans, there is very little chance imagine that donald trump will be giving testimony to this committee, so what point are they trying to make here, gary? point are they trying to make here, ga ? f point are they trying to make here, ga ? j ., , ., , , point are they trying to make here, ga? j , ., gary? they're obviously trying to send our message. _ gary? they're obviously trying to send our message. there - gary? they're obviously trying to send our message. there is - gary? they're obviously trying to send our message. there is a - gary? they're obviously trying to - send our message. there is a certain degree of media management in this, there is no doubt about that. no one is above the law i think is what the transco people in the wider world. but they do believe that donald

trump orchestrated what happened on january the 6th. and their argument would be of course you want to hear from the man we think is central to the whole process. now, as you say, the whole process. now, as you say, the likelihood of it actually happening i think is pretty small. there will be lots and lots of toing and froing legally. there can be stalling tactics i am matching donald trump has lawyers thinking about this already. but bearing in mind there are people who have refused to obey a subpoena to this committee, namely steve bannon, president from's former adviser, and he is going to be sentenced for that will stop having been convicted in a court. so there are criminal jeopardy is here for donald trump if he chooses to completely disavow this committee and refuses to cooperate in any way whatsoever. but time is the crucial issue.— time is the crucial issue. now, the mid-term — time is the crucial issue. now, the mid-term elections _ time is the crucial issue. now, the mid-term elections of _ time is the crucial issue. now, the mid-term elections of course - time is the crucial issue. now, the mid-term elections of course are l time is the crucial issue. now, the i mid-term elections of course are 28 mid—term elections of course are 28 days away or so. how much impact

will any of this have on voters going to the polls do think huw bearing in mind that donald trump's name is not on the ballot. i bearing in mind that donald trump's name is not on the ballot.— name is not on the ballot. i think in truth a lot _ name is not on the ballot. i think in truth a lot of— name is not on the ballot. i think in truth a lot of people's - name is not on the ballot. i think in truth a lot of people's views i name is not on the ballot. i think in truth a lot of people's views ofj in truth a lot of people's views of january the 6th is already baked into the numbers. bear in mind this is the ninth hearing. we are now, what, nearly two years on from january the sick. people of kind of made up their mind i think out there in the wider public. i think it is unlikely to make a huge impact on the way people vote. but creating i think the atmosphere where you can try and establish the idea is the committee has that all of this could happen all over again is something that maybe motivating for those voters who think well this is just the mid—term election, surely not much at stake. i might not bother. there maybe democratically seeing this as a way perhaps turning out, the debate, given this idea that if you don't do something this could

repeat itself in the not too distant future. ~ , ., future. with me in the studio throughout — future. with me in the studio throughout all— future. with me in the studio throughout all this _ future. with me in the studio throughout all this has - future. with me in the studio throughout all this has been | future. with me in the studio i throughout all this has been joe throughout all this has beenjoe moreno, who is a former department ofjustice prosecutor and fbi consultant. joe, a vote to subpoena the former president donald trump, what you make of that? it is the former president donald trump, what you make of that?— what you make of that? it is a surprise. _ what you make of that? it is a surprise. i _ what you make of that? it is a surprise, i did _ what you make of that? it is a surprise, i did not— what you make of that? it is a surprise, i did not see - what you make of that? it is a surprise, i did not see this - what you make of that? it is a - surprise, i did not see this coming. as we have watched all these committee hearings i can't help but think this is the impeachment investigation that congress should have done following january the 6th. and i understand they wanted to get it done while donald trump still had a few days left in his term and so they rushed it. but i have to think, have they come and they could have waited, they didn't have to do it back then, had congress done that, had they elicited the tremendous evidence that they have gotten over this past year, it would have taken a while but i think the end result could have been getting a lot more republicans to convict donald trump. and that of course could have barred him from running for president again. all of this is great if it

turns to a criminal referral if this is where it goes. at the end of the day this is largely political argument. sol day this is largely political argument. so i salute congress for soliciting this evidence, i think it is really powerful. but i have to wonder what could have been how they handle this in a different way. liz cheney said that the committee now has sufficient information to bring criminal referrals involving, as she put it, multiple officials. what you think is going to come out of this? that is interesting. i'm not surprised if congress ultimately refers this against donald trump. the justice department will take that as it will and will have to make its own decision whether or not it thinks it merits criminal prosecution. other officials could be interesting too. the kit is noticeable that congress is taking a wider net than just donald trump. but of course the subpoena that congresswoman cheney called for is for donald trump. and she said we owe it to our constitution and our children to elicit all the facts. it will be fascinating to see how

former president trump response. given they will be up to the attorney general merrick garland to decide whether any criminal charges are brought against anybody involved here, he really is on a sticky wicket here. he can't win because he is going to alienate one side of the offer isn't in this very polarised country, whatever decision he reaches on prosecutions. absolutely ri r ht. reaches on prosecutions. absolutely riht. he reaches on prosecutions. absolutely right- he is — reaches on prosecutions. absolutely right- he is in _ reaches on prosecutions. absolutely right- he is in a _ reaches on prosecutions. absolutely right. he is in a very _ reaches on prosecutions. absolutely right. he is in a very unenviable - right. he is in a very unenviable position, whether it is this other classified documents, whether it is other investigations that are ongoing. yes, there is no doubt that many people in this country will say whatever decision is reached is a political one. i hope that the attorney general and the men and women who support in thejustice department will make what is best for the country and what is best under the law in putting politics aside i have confidence that they will. aside i have confidence that they will. do aside i have confidence that they will. y ., aside i have confidence that they will. , ., ~ aside i have confidence that they will. i. ~ _, will. do you think the committee succeeded _ will. do you think the committee succeeded today _ will. do you think the committee succeeded today in _ will. do you think the committee succeeded today in its _ will. do you think the committee succeeded today in its central. will. do you think the committee l succeeded today in its central aim to draw a direct link between donald trump and the uprising at the capitol building?—

chancellor said he is 100% not going anywhere. the chancellor has been speaking to the bbc�*s economics editor in washington, where is attending the international monetary fund and bank meetings. mr; monetary fund and bank meetings. ii total focus monetary fund and bank meetings. ii; total focus is on delivering the mini budget and total focus is on delivering the mini budgetand making total focus is on delivering the mini budget and making sure that we get growth back into our economy. that is the central prize, the main focus of myjob. and the reason why i am here in washington, the reason you are here, is because we have got imf annuals. anybody is looking at the same problems. everybody is talking energy, everybody is talking about inflation and everybody is talking about how we can get growth back into the global economy. mr kwarteng did acknowledge that there was what he called "some turbulence" following his mini—budget but said he would still be presenting his plan for balancing the uk's finances on the 31st of october. government borrowing costs fell and the pound jumped on earlier rumours of a potential

government u—turn, sterling rising to one dollar 13. this is how it was trading a short while ago. you may remember the pound hit a low of one dollar 3 cents immediately after the mini—budget, as the financial market reacted to the chancellor's unfunded tax cutting plans. much of the pressure on the chancellor and liz truss — who's been prime ministerforjust 37 days — has come from within their own party. during a stormy meeting of the backbench1922 committee last night, one mp — robert halfon — accused the prime minister of "trashing blue—collar conservatism" by slashing taxes for the wealthy and not ruling out a real—terms cut in benefits. this was a tweet from the tory news website — conservative home — saying it is now more likely, than not that the mini—budget will be withdrawn and that the chancellor may have to go. here's the deputy editor of that site. talking to people at the conservative party conference that was a disconnect between advisers in

different parts of the government who thought the cuts were going to come from different places. but it is clear if you step back and look at it in the round that to find the money to make the tax cuts work and calm the markets would require extraordinary spending cuts. tory mps won't pass it and when the prime minister works out i don't think she's going to have any option but to withdraw the mini budget. and here's a number of conservative mps openly calling for changes to the unfunded tax cuts announced by mr. kwarteng last month: there are many, myself included, the belief that it is quite possible that he will simply have to come forward with a further rowing back on the tax announcements. i forward with a further rowing back on the tax announcements. i think it is better to — on the tax announcements. i think it is better to look _ on the tax announcements. i think it is better to look at _ on the tax announcements. i think it is better to look at this _ on the tax announcements. i think it is better to look at this more - is better to look at this more carefully— is better to look at this more carefully in the context of what has happened — carefully in the context of what has happened in the past few weeks and so you _ happened in the past few weeks and so you know we have got some of this wrong _ so you know we have got some of this wrong and _ so you know we have got some of this wrong and these tax cuts need to be introduced over time. it is wrong and these tax cuts need to be introduced over time.— introduced over time. it is indeed a toic introduced over time. it is indeed a to - ic of introduced over time. it is indeed a topic of conversation _ introduced over time. it is indeed a topic of conversation around - introduced over time. it is indeed a topic of conversation around the i introduced over time. it is indeed a| topic of conversation around the tea roonrs— topic of conversation around the tea roonrs of— topic of conversation around the tea roonrs of the — topic of conversation around the tea rooms of the house _ topic of conversation around the tea rooms of the house of— topic of conversation around the tea rooms of the house of commons . topic of conversation around the tea rooms of the house of commons as| rooms of the house of commons as well because — rooms of the house of commons as well because we _

kwasi kwarteng is in washington, attending the annual meetings of the imf and world bank. so what does the imf make of the uk government's tax—cutting plans? a reminder that earlier this week, it downgraded its forecast for uk gdp growth next year to just 0.3% from its previous prediction of 0.5%. and here's the head of the imf, responding to questions today about the uk's mini—budget: our message to everybody, notjust of the uk, to everybody at this time, fiscal policy should not undermine monetary policy. because if it does, then the task of monetary policy becomes only harder and it translates into the necessity for even further increase of rates and tightening financial conditions. so don't prolong the pain, make sure that actions are coherent and could

deliver consistent. and i do believe that it deliver consistent. and i do believe thatitis deliver consistent. and i do believe that it is correct to be led by evidence, so if the evidence is that there has to be a recalibration, it is right for governments to do so. here's the assessment of our economics editor, faisal islam, who's in washington following the chancellor. what a surreal moment, talking to a chancellor under a pincer movement of pressure, notjust from the markets as i was reporting also as chris was reporting from the politics as well. and so the matter now at hand is how much time do they have to come up with this credible plan? can it last 18 days? i thought it was significant that the chancellor acknowledged that some turbulence was down to uk factors, basically his mini budget. but in general he thought the global situation was dicey. which raises the question as to why risks were

taken in this dicey situation and how much time they have got to sort the situation out. and here's our political editor chris mason again: i think ithinka i think a u—turn and a pretty big one is— i think a u—turn and a pretty big one is inevitable and another thing that is— one is inevitable and another thing that is inevitable is a paralysis and to— that is inevitable is a paralysis and to let _ that is inevitable is a paralysis and to let you happens. the consequence for prime minister for a loss of— consequence for prime minister for a loss of authority is you have to seek— loss of authority is you have to seek your _ loss of authority is you have to seek your authority elsewhere, being propped _ seek your authority elsewhere, being propped up by the views of conservative mps. who are going to see the _ conservative mps. who are going to see the prime minister and, as i was reporting _ see the prime minister and, as i was reporting a _ see the prime minister and, as i was reporting a few minutes ago, planting _ reporting a few minutes ago, planting in her eara reporting a few minutes ago, planting in her ear a whole range of ideas. _ planting in her ear a whole range of ideas. sonre — planting in her ear a whole range of ideas, some of them contradictory. and she _ ideas, some of them contradictory. and she has — ideas, some of them contradictory. and she has to stitch together those ideas _ and she has to stitch together those ideas and _ and she has to stitch together those ideas and try and find something that is— ideas and try and find something that is palatable to her party and palatable to the markets as well. so there _ palatable to the markets as well. so there will— palatable to the markets as well. so there will be a u—turn, the question is the _ there will be a u—turn, the question is the timing. can westminster, the government, the markets stomach waiting _ government, the markets stomach waiting as — government, the markets stomach waiting as long as two weeks on monday — waiting as long as two weeks on monday. right now the answer looks like beand _ monday. right now the answer looks like beand no, they can't, they will have _ like beand no, they can't, they will have to _ like beand no, they can't, they will have to be — like beand no, they can't, they will have to be some movement before

exemplary model to aspire to. hey, congratulations! who is going to speak? in this moment i think immediately of those wonderful architects from the shortlist who didn't win tonight. my heart goes out to you. we know that choosing a winner from this list is like picking the best from a tiger, a duck, a fish, and a zebra. the quality and variety of the shortlist must be apparent to everybody. the stirling prize is awarded to a building stop modelling couege awarded to a building stop modelling college library is the work of many hands on many minds. the college created the possibility for success in how they manage the project. we knew we were building for a

motivated client. we were asked to build for the long term using present resources wisely. this is the first time a college has won the stirling prize. our clients are also here tonight for the client of the year shortlist. here tonight for the client of the yearshortlist. it here tonight for the client of the year shortlist. it is good tonight to celebrate the contribution that so many colleges have made through enlightened commissioning for the treatment of architectural culture in britain. i want to thank tim and claire who led the team in my office. their steadfast dedication to resolving every detail is what places me on the podium tonight. we had wonderful consultants and simon and ben among many others. we worked as architects... i know of no other builder who makes you feel so at home when you join their team. it is a great example of collaboration. i witnessed their site manager explaining to the bricklayers that

they would never get the opportunity to build brickwork like this again and they should treat it as the chance of a lifetime. that is a kind of dedication that wins sterling prices. something i want to single out is the planning team and especiallyjohn neal at historic england, who had to take a risk in backing this substantial new building on a sensitive heritage site. it takes courage to back a proposal when it would be easier to stop it but water it down. one change i would welcome in the building industry is that we all take collective action to reduce the stress experienced by people who work in building projects. this project has been an exception often a punishing process. i've been very fortunate in my life to have had the support of my wife, mary, who carefully stitches up the rubble then is at the end of difficult days. thanks very much indeed. 50 difficult days. thanks very much
