we have a border lake cross. a terrier. he is quite a character. and a hunting dog like this? he is a hunting dog. he was bred as a hunting dog but never has. right. this is very much a hunting dog. and you can see that it's on the chase. those eyes have something about the gothic horror movie about them. it's certainly after something. it used to keep it away from the fireplace. did it? i can imagine that. it's so lifelike. really, it's fantastic. and if you wanted confirmation of hunting, there is the hunting crop, in bronze, to back it. and if you look at the back, first of all there's an inscription which i must ask you about. but it was clearly fitted to slot onto a wall. and it's got a date, which i would have thought is 1964 rather than 1864. and it would've been made in the black forest.

it probably is pine, and stained to look like walnut, or a more precious wood. but what about this date? the date on the back came from my father. he wrote it on the back of it in case it was stolen. because it was up on the wall of the pub. and actually it was stolen. was it? a rugby team who was trophy hunting took it away and because of the address on the back, it actually came back. this is really quite a valuable item. i think it fits a lot of factors which people are looking for on the market today. if you're an interior decorator, what a piece of interior decoration. a dog lover... you don't need to be just a dog lover to want something like this. because of all those factors, i think it would make between 1,500 and 2,000 at auction. a very much sought-after piece.

a very lovely piece to have. thank you very much for bringing it. well, they do say that you can find a better dressed-up woman in blackpool. would you agree with that? totally. so you're obviously from blackpool. yeah. i have to tell you that i describe myself as a potaholic. i think it applies to both male and female. but the owner of this pair of shoes and this handbag i think was a kindred spirit. i think she could only have been a potaholic. just tell me a little bit about the lady owner. she was my aunt, and she was wonderful. she treasured these, and she gave 'em to me and i've treasured them ever since really. did she wear these on a regular basis? no. i think only once. she'd been invited in the early '60s, i think it was to the queen's garden party. at buckingham palace. yes. absolutely. fantastic. let's have a look in detail

at a pair of shoes that say more about you than money ever can. i think it's fair to say these would have been expensive. oh, yes, i would think so. i have never met a woman yet wearing wedgwood shoes but i think these are absolutely wonderful. let's turn them around because it's not just these buckles, is it? no. absolutely not. it's the heels themselves. these are just breathtaking. absolutely breathtaking. she's actually got a matching bag as well. and dare i ask have you ever worn these? yes, i have. once. have you? they are your size are they? yeah. don't, please. i thought you were gonna ask me to try them on. no. no, no. all i'm interested in knowing is whether or not it's the sort of thing that are being used today. for me, it's like having a car in the garage and not taking it out for a spin. i've worn them once. i thought that was quite cavalier, really. it probably was, wasn't it? but it was good. it was good for

me. okay. so obviously you've got no idea what she had to pay for these way back when. and to be honest with you, i haven't got much of a precedent, 'cause this is a first for me. oh, good. i've come across a wedgwood pram before today but wedgwood shoes and matching bag it's all new. any thoughts... no ideas. it wouldn't matter. so if i offered you £500, would that be...? no. no? i'm sure they're not worth that, but... to me, they're worth everything. exactly. ignore the man behind you. he said take the money. ignore him. okay. i think the proof in the pudding would always be the selling. but if i had to go out... let's put an insurance valuation on. i wouldn't hesitate, on this little group to put the best part of £800. no. oh, right. hey, listen, find me another pair. they would've been worth more if i could get my feet into them, but they're just not my size. this is certainly the lightest piece of jewelry

i've ever seen on the antiques roadshow. but it also happens to be possibly one of the rarest pieces of jewelry i've ever seen on the antiques roadshow. is that what you thought when you brought it? no. it's like a whisper. you can hardly feel it on your hand. what did you think it was made of? i think my mother said it might have been bone. it's... i thought it was old. that's the only thing i knew about it. well, it is seriously old. it's not made of bone, it's made of horsehair. oh. and i think it might well be 17th century that it could be 400 years old. and i think it's part of the kit and caboodle of somebody who's been widowed. and she shunned her real jewelry and traded it in for black and white jewelry. which is highly appropriate for a widow. i actually talked to our picture people here, who recognize it as a type and from the 17th century, and you see it in portraits. and that's desperately important for us in dating these things. it's black and white which is the colors of jacoby in england.

it's the colors of jacoby in mourning. the color of jacoby in death it has to be said. but i'm completely besotted with it. i don't know how it survived, how it's not been torn to shreds. it's very fragile, very light, very papery. it's just like a spider's web or a whisper in your hand. and is that all startling to you? yes. it's just been kept in a jewelry box with a load of other silver jewelry. so i'm surprised it's that fragile. it has probably been in a jewelry box for 400 years. and quite why it survived, i'll never know. and i'm very, very excited by it. i don't know how to transfer that excitement to everybody. i'm hoping to do it. and it's certainly not about money. money's a completely false barometer. if i tell you that it was very valuable i'd be wrong. i think it isn't. i think it's really worth only low hundreds of pounds. maybe no more than £200 or £300. but as a survival, i think it's an astonishingly valuable object, and i've loved every minute of it.

and what will you do now? i don't know. go and put it somewhere safe. very good. it's been safe for four centuries. and it's your job to keep it safe as long as you can. put your hand out. and have a whisper in your hand. a tiny, tiny butterfly on your hand that's 400 years old. what more magic could you ask? i think every cricket enthusiast recognizes that don bradman was the greatest batsman in the history of the game. and on the roadshow we see quite a lot of autographs and occasionally his signature comes along. but i've never seen 92 bradman signatures before. they're all there. how did it all start? it started many years ago. 1948, which was bradman's last tour. and a gentleman, an old gentleman-- i was only five then-- said he had a don bradman autograph, and i really wanted to see, because i was interested in cricket from a very early age. he showed it to me and then i always wanted one. then, in the 1970's, i wrote a letter to don bradman.

they printed his actual address in the radio times, believe it or not, and i got a reply. and he signed it. don bradman. i thought, i must get some more. and then it became an obsession, really. i found cuttings and old things to send to him and photographs, the only color photograph from his last tour in 1948. and he signed every one. and always a reply within a week. wonderful. what a gentleman. what a gentleman. a true gent. well, if we look here, we can see some of the signatures on christmas cards and cigarette cards. and indeed that's a match. that's the last match he ever played. oh, is it? is that when he was out for four? no, naught. if he'd have got four, he'd have had a hundred average. he was 99.99 his test average. exactly, yes. but he played, what, in a 35-year career, score a century every three innings he came to the wicket. quite astonishing. marvelous. so how many years-- lots of photographs. we're talking 25 years to get all these.

he even sent me an actual birthday card on me 40th birthday, which was magic. i didn't expect it. i think i can guess, but why 92 bradman signatures? 92. well, when i got to about 70, i thought, this is about round the same age as don. i'll try and get one for every year of his age. and when he'd reached 92 i had only 91. i sent one last one off, and he just signed it just before he died suddenly. how very poignant. just managed it. and his signature's never changed over the years. fantastic. wonderful. let's talk about values. the bradman album, very difficult to value. but i think if that came up at auction a cricket enthusiast would pay maybe £2,000 or £3,000 for it. possibly more, yes. yes. excellent. wonderful collection. thank you. now our experts know a thing or two about collecting and they have some wonderful collections but even they have been known to pick a dud.

now, bill harriman you know everything there is to know about arms and militaria. you've been an expert in criminal cases. but i was astonished to learn that you even bought a fake. well, i'm afraid that i did. even as learned in such matters, we still very occasionally get stitched up. so this is the fake, is it? it is a fake, yes. tell me the story behind it. i, for many years, always wanted one of these. it's an 1862 colt revolver. i wanted one from the era of the american civil war. can i hold it? i've never actually held a gun or anything like it. i was absolutely desperate to get one from the period of the american civil war. you can tell the date from the serial number. i saw that, and it was for sale with a dealer. i bought it, and i was very pleased with it. i got it home, had a look at it i was still very pleased with it. i showed it to various other people. there was that horrid little seed of doubt planted by a friend of mine, who said, i'm not sure about that.

so we took it to bits and did a full forensic examination and my heart started to sink through the bottom of my boots 'cause it was very clear that it's a modern-made italian replica, that somebody has aged to make it look like it was from about 1864. so it can take in even you. it did take me in. i paid good money for it. so what did you do then? i went back to the dealer who had sold it to me, and i'd taken the precaution of obtaining expert report, and i showed him this. and eventually with bad grace i have to say, he gave me my money back. he said, okay, i'll have the pistol back. i said, have you got the authority to possess it? i said, i'd better keep it then, hadn't i? i've had it ever since. it's a salutary lesson. it is a salutary lesson. i pick that up occasionally, and it tells me that i'm as fallible as the next man. and it tells me to use your eyes and use your brain and connect the two and don't take anything for granted. and what about your best...

the thing you love best in your collection? it's this. it's... that. piece of shattered bone and metal. do you know what it is? any guesses? this was a pen knife was it? yeah. cheap old penknife. sort of class of knife that was carried by all kinds of people-- farmers, workers. you name it. it's very special to me. why is this so special to you? it was my grandfather's. my maternal grandfather, who is corporal samuel robinson of the seventh battalion. the royal west kent regiment. and that was about sam robinson's person when it was hit by either a machine gun bullet or a piece of shell fragment and it clearly took most of the force of the impact, and he survived the first world war. ( gasps ) so if this had been a little bit to the left a little bit to the right... you and i would not be speaking today. gosh, that's a slightly sobering thought, isn't it? a very sobering thought. and this is him, is it? that is he, indeed. yes. there he is, in his uniform, taken in about i'm guessing about 1916.

that, to me, i think is one of the dearest things that i own. i get a bit emotional about it, as you can probably see. it's wonderful to see, bill. thanks very much. thank you. thanks. this is obviously only the tip of the iceberg. you've got press cuttings, letters from the prime minister lloyd george and pictures of the great man himself, the councillor to mr. h. veno. tell me, what's it all about. i'm related. i'm the great-grandson of sir william henry veno, who was born william reynard varney. right. moved to america and acquired the formula for veno's cough cure. and this is the patent here. this is the... he decided to patent the company in 1894, and he patented veno's drugs company. he moved back to manchester and started a company in chester road, manchester. and here are all the products.

all the products, yes. anyway, tell me about his life. when he moved back to manchester he carried on with the company he built the company up, he became mayor of altrincham. and knighted. there's a letter from the prime minister. two letters, one from lloyd george, one from percy shore inviting him to buckingham palace to be knighted. and from there on, the war broke out, the first world war, which is the letter there. yes. let me just read this letter. this is rather sad. "my dearest mary "i arrived here last night "and am returning to manchester tomorrow night, "and will be with you friday evening. "usual train. "things are looking very black. england has declared war against germany." that must be the first world war. "and everybody is upset and business is at a standstill." rather sad. and i believe, after that he did have problems with a bottle-making company which made bottles too brittle,

and he had to pull them all back because of fear of people getting hurt. so that was another thing which was probably the demise of the company. and in 1925, he then sold the company to beecham's. surely, he would have sold it for an awful lot of money. he would've been a millionaire. he was, he was. he was a millionaire. he was a millionaire. and does any of these riches descend to you? unfortunately not. only the collection from the family. well, individually these items don't add up to much. but when you actually have a whole archive like this, and this is only the tip of the archive i would say that it's going to be in excess of £1,000. and you're still collecting. i am, i am. it's growing. that's tremendous. thanks. thank you. now this... is what i call a dead swanky cocktail set. wow, this is really nice. it says 1938 all over it,

and that's what it says on the silver cocktail shaker that forms the center of this really nice thing. the glass is by walsh. they're cut and engraved. the silver is by boynton who is an extremely knobby silver maker, one of the best english silver makers of the period. the cocktail sticks are in solid mother of pearl capped with solid silver cocks. and i love it. i think it's a hot thing. where did you find it? my dad was doing some work in the loft, and he found this. apparently, the story goes that my great-uncle billy was an accountant, and he was doing some accountancy work somewhere. and literally, rather than actually getting paid in money he was paid in loot. because it's such good quality, and it's such in very good condition, there are people who would love to have this. cocktails are fashionable again. so i think for something that stands you in at nothing, the 400 quid at auction that it's worth is quite nice, and if you wanted to buy it again, then you're into 500, 600 quid.

cool. once an antique becomes valuable it becomes copy-able. and toby jugs became very, very collectible in the late 19th century. how old is this one, do you think? well, i'm not sure. i was hoping it was very old. what's very old? well, 1785? that's a very specific date. so have you done any research on it? i've done a little bit. tried the internet and i've seen pictures of very similar ones associated with the wood family. the wood family of staffordshire. of staffordshire, yes. rafe wood, enoch wood. famous family of potters. those are just the sort of jugs that people were very keen to get their hands on in the late 19th century when there was this great wave of

china mania and for that reason, the staffordshire factories, at that time, started producing very good copies of things that then were 100 years old or so. the earliest one i saw that looked like this one was 1785. right. but in view of what i've said about these being essentially copied in the late 19th century are you sure? no, no. now, i'm going to look at it in detail. let's look at this fella. he's... beautifully modeled face. he's got a wart on the cheek. he's got a gap in his teeth. he's holding a foaming jug. and then, he's sitting on this barrel. actually, look at the shirt with those buttons and the creases. the creases in his britches. and then, at his feet, a dog, a spaniel, i think. the colors are what we call in-glaze colors. these are metallic oxides that are put on to the piece

and actually are sealed into the glaze. and you get this incredibly lustrous glaze. very, very bright green. this lovely bunch of reeds forming the handle. and it's only when we actually look underneath, we can see the color of the clay. it's a very white clay. the clay has come from materials quarried down in cornwall, and shipped all the way up to staffordshire. and then, it's covered in this glaze which has the blue-y tinge to it, which we therefore call pearlware. in other words there's a lot of work that's gone into this. and that's the clue as to whether it's right or wrong. which way are you inclining yourself? i think he's right. you're right. he is right. he's known as the lord hal sailor. many of these toby jugs take names from famous admirals at the time.

there's a rodney sailor as well, but this one is the hal sailor. and it does date exactly to the 1780's and it is almost certainly from the stable of rafe wood. a 19th-century copy would probably be worth somewhere in the region of £50. a 1785, 1790 piece like this is worth £5,000. 5,000. very good. i must get him insured. i owe you a very big thank-you. the beatles played eight times here in blackpool so i was expecting to see programs, tickets, signatures, all day, it's nearly the end of the day and you're the first person to come in with some beatles memorabilia. so i thank you so much. did you get these yourself? i did. i was a very young girl. i lived in middlesex. my dad was the p.r.o. at heathrow airport, and it was my hobby. i was mad on collecting autographs

of famous people. how old were you then? about 12. it was early '60s, so that's giving me age away. but yeah, i actually got these myself. so he worked in heathrow and had access to all the v.i.p.'s going backwards and forwards. and he would go along and just ask for their autographs saying, it's for my daughter? well, for the beatles, he actually took me with him. you met them. yes. i sat on paul mccartney's knee. wow! i was very embarrassed. i had very sensible sandals on. i was trying to hide me feet. it was wonderful. and apart from the beatles, who else did he meet or did you meet? the rolling stones. i got their autographs as well. you said that they terrified you. they did terrify me. they were very... heavy-looking even then. although you look back on photographs they look quite sweet now. but at the time, they looked quite heavy to me. and you kept these and then you stopped collecting. there's loads in there. loads and

loads and loads. margo fonteyn and muhammad ali and absolutely loads. but yeah, for the last few years they've been in a drawer. i won't tell you what drawer. they've been in a drawer. i can guess. yes. i can guess. and as far as value's concerned, the beatles, the rolling stones brian jones, muhammad ali you go on and on and i start adding... barbra streisand liza minelli. there's about 80 in total in the books. so exceptional books. have you thought about value? no, no, we've never... because today, this represents an important autograph collection. they are worth in the region of £3,000 to £4,000. each album. so we're talking about £6,000 to £8,000 for the collection. wow. wow! how many children have they gotta be shared with? maybe i won't now. so a ballroom jewel in a ballroom.

tell me about it. come on. ere'd you find it? at a car boot sale. and? and with some more bits and bobs. so i gave about five pounds for that and a few of the little trinket things. obviously, i didn't know until a later time it was diamonds. but it's different unusual, and things like that, so i thought... why not? so you were attracted to the way it returned the light. it sort of scintillated away there. goodness me. well, it is a most remarkable thing, and it's one of the most glamorous pieces of jewelry i've seen for a long time, actually. really? definitely. because it's not a brooch at all. it's not? no. i said it was a brooch. i thought it was a brooch for a while. but actually it's half a tiara. tiara? yes. and it would've sat opposite another wing at exactly the same form on the forehead of a girl who'd have come to a ballroom like this dressed to the nines dressed to the highest possible level that she could afford wearing her diamonds

and wearing that in the front of her forehead that turned her into a greek goddess, frankly. really? yeah. i'm amazed. and i'm amazed, too, because i love it, and i think it's highly figurative, and i think the anatomy of the bird's wing is beautifully suggested by the undulation of the metalwork. and it's set in silver and gold, which is perfect for the period. every setting has been pierced out by hand from the gold sheet. and you can see the engraver's mark. and then, he pierces it with a file, and then builds up the settings beyond that to make what is one of the most poetic forms of jewelry i've ever seen. in a way, we're slightly out of tune with it because we do see it as a bird's wing but it's not a bird's wing. it's the wings of a god. it's a hermes wing. it's an amorini's wing. and it stands for eternal love. and it does evoke a period long gone. it evokes a time when entertainments were hard to find. there was no television, no radio, no cinema,

no telephone no computer. oh, my god. and what do you do? you'd go out to what was called an entertainment. you'd have an invitation a very smart invitation, lined with gold, and it would say somebody would receive you for a dance, even a small dance, sometimes which would be a cue to you as to how to dress. but whatever happened, you were dressed to the highest possible pitch that you could afford. and the highest possible pitch that this woman could afford was quite high indeed. because as you now know, they are diamonds, and they're not marcasites are they? and we have to understand what the other parts of her arrangements would have been if she was wearing diamond feathers in her hair what her dress would have been like what her carriage would have been like when it waited outside and it could've been in this ballroom. it is of the same period as this ballroom. it dates from about 1900. and she's dressing as a greek goddess. well, heaven only knows. i don't think one could find a more exciting thing. what do you feel about all of that? speechless. good.

marvelous. i almost am. i've sort of run out now. i think it's fantastic. i'm, like, how does he do this? well, i've seen them before and they were made by the greatest jewelers, by boucheron and cartier giuliano. oh, really? superb names involved themselves in this style and it's not a unique thing. what we do slightly ache to see is the other brooch. maybe it will come forward somehow or another. but they do exist in pairs. they were mounted on a tiara frame. they can be taken on and off and worn as brooches. and they're very desirable and they're still very poetic. and with all of that comes some high value. so five pounds' investment from you... if it were a tiara with both wings, it would return £12,000 to £15,000. oh, my god. are you serious? oh, my god. i want to scream. i'm not gonna scream. i wouldn't scream. oh, my gosh! really? and half of it is worth less than half,

but it's still worth £5,000 or £6,000 of anybody's money. oh, my god. i can't... i'm so giddy. fantastic. that is amazing. no, i'm thrilled. i love it. in this splendid ballroom, it's easy to imagine the dances that have taken place here the bands that have played on this stage and of course, the organists. i mentioned reginald dixon earlier on. and this organ he designed it himself and played on it and phil, our organist for the day, is gonna play us out with a little number you might just recognize in a moment. but first, thank you to the people of blackpool for bringing along such a wonderful array and variety of objects. and phil, now, over to you. would you kindly take it away?

-- after 500 years. welcome to our viewers on public television in america and also are around the globe. malala lost part of her skull when she was shot by the taliban, but she did not lose her passion for helping girls go to school. today she speaks on video for the first time since she was attacked four months ago, and promises to carry on working for others. she spoke shortly after having surgery to reconstruct her skull. >> her doctor says she has not shed a tear since she arrived. she has faced her ordeal with determination and calm. this is her, quietly on her way to surgery on saturday. 24 hours later, she was speaking. it is now clear that she has suffered no long-term brain

injury or cognitive damage. >> they are like my mother and father. a mother and father are not with me but i had wonderful doctors and nurses who took care of me. >> the surgery took five hours. doctors drew on their experience treating soldiers wounded in iraq and afghanistan. they carried out to separate operations, one to her skull and 12 per year. the red line chose the path of bullets as it passed through her head. the impact and bruised her brain, but the bullet did not enter it, and that dramatically improved her recovery chances. a titanium plate was fitted to repair her shattered skull. it required a delicate surgery very close to the lining up for brain. a copley implant should restore some hearing to her damaged ear. today the doctor who fitted the

titanium plate said that she was recovering well. >> i expect her to recover and continue with our education and hopefully go on to university. >> that education is the point, the cost for which he suffered, and to which she is now devoted. >> when you educate a girl, you educate the whole family. you educate a generation. you educate all the other coming children. >> in launching the malala fund, she shows a determination to turn this terrible experience into something positive. quite courage and resolution have turned a 15-year-old schoolgirl into a powerful, global symbol of the right of girls to be educated. >> she said god has given her a

second life and she will use it well. >> what an extraordinary young woman. as she continues to recover today the taliban are the focus of talks in london between the leaders of pakistan and afghanistan. the goal is to create a more stable environment for when nato forces leave afghanistan in 2014. the mission is to get the taliban to negotiate peace but what are the chances? >> 12 years into a war that has cost 440 british lives the prime minister invited the leaders of both afghanistan and pakistan to talk about the threats facing them all. >> the united kingdom will continue to stand firmly behind both countries as they work together to bring peace and stability to the region. finally, the progress we have achieved today sends a very clear message to the taliban. now is the time for everyone to participate in a peaceful

political process in afghanistan. >> as british troops prepared to withdraw from afghanistan and handoff to afghan forces, intense combat like this is rare now. the military believe they have done their job and that this insurgency, like all others needs a political solution. >> the clock is ticking. we have until the end of 2014 maybe not as long as that to get this thing sorted out because we are leaving, and everyone knows it. >> however unpalatable that means the taliban coming down from the hills and in to talks. the taliban have been weakened by the defection of fighters such as this commander i met on a recent trip to afghanistan who has come over to the government's side. but the taliban have been stopped from negotiating a pakistan until now.

what has changed and what makes the peace process more likely to bear fruit is that the pakistan military and political leaders reversed their position on the taliban. pakistan now believes it security is best served by releasing taliban prisoners from jail encouraging them to enter peace talks. >> peak in afghanistan is peace in pakistan. we feel we can only survive together. one can change and have new friends and for the relationships with friends. >> britain has influence in both of these countries and will need to involve russia, iran, and india for this to work but today was a start. president karzai ended his day in royal comfort. he has one more year of this before an election in which she has to stand down, a year to forge a peace that has been elusive until now. >> with so much violence at the

moment pakistan and afghanistan those peace talks are particularly important. a 5-year-old boy has been freed and alabama after police shot dead the gunman who was holding him. the child was taken last week from his school bus after it and jimmy lee dykes held the boy in a bunker after a week. never say he was a missing person with anti-government use. the u.s. and france have agreed that military operations in mali should be handed over to united nations mission as soon as possible. french forces entered northern mali three weeks ago launching aerial strikes against islamic militants. today, the french president held talks with american vice- president joe biden in paris. iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad has volunteered to

become the first person sent into space by his country's fledgling space program. he made the offer during an address to sciences a week after it ran successfully sent a monkey into orbit. corruption on a scale never previously seen. that is help police in europe are describing a match fixing scheme involving up to 700 football games around the globe. more than half of those were in europe and now the very integrity of the sport is being questioned. our correspondent tim frank has the details. >> the global game is at risk from a global crime network. what had long been feared that only quietly talked about was today painfully exposed. don't let the plant setting detract from the revelation that match fixing has affected the highest reaches of football. >> this is on a scale not seen

before, involving hundreds of criminals and corrupted officials and players affecting hundreds of potential matches generating very large amounts of illicit profits. -- illicit profits. >> worldwide, 680 recent matches are under suspicion, including a champions league ty played in europe. there are at least 425 people involved officials players and criminals. the nightmare for the football association here at wembley is that match fixing kills the very idea of sport. if we cannot believe we are watching real competition then what is the. in turning up at all? today, the england team were training ahead of their game with brazil on wednesday. >> let alone being part of

that i am completely shocked. i don't want to be related to anything like that. >> asian betting rings are believed to be the captains of this criminal in -- criminal industry. international criminal networks are a mishmash of global rules. the problem is becoming clear. fighting and defeating it will be much tougher. >> what will be the fallout from this investigation? i spoke with a football analyst for espn in new york. how widespread is this match fixing? how high does it go? >> we are not exactly sure how high it goes yet. sometimes these things are just the tip of the icebergs, but i think it is very very serious. not so serious in terms of the money we are talking about, but

obviously the money is colossal, but i think the bedrock of all sports is, when you look down on the field what is happening between those white lines, do you believe it to be true? if there is any doubt is not true, you say to yourself, that football. but in the times we are talking about where the games could be fixed, their mind says, this is where the big problems come then, it is the perception. >> it will undermine the credibility of matches that are not fixed at all. >> this is a sport that has provided many things for a long, long time. i would imagine at this point we are talking about small amounts of money. it leads me to believe that we are also talking about some of the smaller leagues.

some of these players make $200,000 a week. why would to talk about fixing a game for $100,000? this is just the tip of the iceberg. if it does not go any farther than this, i think they can eradicated. but if we do start to find out they are talking about maybe two champion leagues involved, maybe one in england then there are real problems in the sport. >> do you expect to see arrests of some of those involved? >> yes. there is no question that the authorities in the sport realize exactly what we are talking about. they realize the integrity of this great sport is at stake and they are going to do everything in their power to eradicate it. i would say there would be very heavy sentences, anyone who is found guilty whether it is a

manager, players, whoever it is, they are really going to suffer the consequences. somebody has to be made an example of now, and it has to be seen to the rest of the world that football is intent on cleaning up its own house. it will not leave it to somebody else to do it. this is going to be really serious. >> can we make the beautiful game beautiful again? >> i think we can make it beautiful again. i know one battle will spoil the barrel but once you throw out the apple, i think the barrel becomes good again, and i think we will have no problems down the line. they cannot be involved in this. it is not worth their while to be involved in it. i think the beautiful game will be just beautiful. >> thanks so much, tommy. the syrian city of homs has seen some of the worst fighting of

this civil war. as many as 20,000 people have died in the streets, but people do still live there, trying to create whatever normality they can. we have gone to see what they live is like for them. >> a fight to win the game. in this part ok homs, children get a chance to forget the war. everyone is trying to make the best of breaks between the fighting. i grant is part of a newly built market set up -- this playground is part of a newly built market set up by the local area. dozens of shops were hastily put up. she'd tell me there is an urgent need. >> displaced people could not get to their places of work. they started selling goods on the pavement, so a neighbor suggested setting up shops on a

neighboring piece of land. glaxo much of the city has been destroyed. people here are eager to tell their stories, but some do not want to appear on camera fearing arrest by security forces if they speak their mind. this man tells me he used to have a well paying job, but now he is selling through to try and make a living. he says he was forced out of his home. for more than a year now, he is living with 20 members of his family in one single flat. everyone is grateful to get back to normal, but behind-the- scenes, there is a lot of anger. he also lost his well paying job and is selling lipsticks and cosmetics. he tells me everyone is tired and there will be no end to the suffering unless syrians for give each other and make a new start. >> there is a window of hope for those who lost their means of living but given the scale of the crisis, it is not enough.

what people can make your hardly feeds them, but for most of those affected by the violence, there is no such opportunity. you cannot forget the war altogether. before we left the market, a jet fighters screamed overhead. look at the destruction here. it will take more than a small market to make up for this. residents are not back yet. it is deserted and destroyed. this is one of many areas of homs that are just as ruined. >> the longer the conflict goes on, the harder it is to imagine that forgiveness. you are watching bbc world news america. still to come, uncovering a royal resting ground. after centuries of searching the remains of king richard iii are found under the asphalt.

today, cambodians came out in force to bid farewell to their former king. he was known as king father, and following his death in beijing last year, there has been an elaborate cremation ceremony, with hundreds of thousands lining the streets. jonathan has filed this report from there. >> three months of careful planning had gone into this, the first royal funeral in cambodia for more than 50 years. in life, he was a complex contradictory figure. his death has brought cambodians together in a show of national reverence to their king. the cremation ceremony inside the palace walls was a formal state occasion attended by officials and foreign dignitaries. but outside, ordinary cambodians found their own way to say farewell to a man who profoundly shaped their nation, for good,

and sometimes the bad. it is nearly 40 years since the khmer rouge attempted to walk out history and tradition in this country, and yet, as you can see, the public hunger for rituals surrounding buddhism and the monetary is a strong as ever -- surrounding buddhism and the monarchiesy. the current king and his widow presided over the occasion. but it was organized by the prime minister, the man who has ruled cam the area of the then he ever did and keeps the monarchies in a strictly ceremonial role. he got a sendoff worthy of a national hero. it is unlikely that any of his descendants will enjoy sets stature -- such stature.

>> from top oil men to head of the church of england. the new archbishop of canterbury has been sworn in at a service and london at st. paul's cathedral. it marks a new chapter for the world's 80 million anglicans. many are hoping for a different kind of leadership. >> this was the moment and archbishop was made. they were appointing the right person. >> we do by virtue of the authorities vested in us -- >> the archbishop read the court's verdict. the selection was confirmed. he will be enthroned in canterbury next month. speaking before the service, he repeated his opposition to

legislation creating a marriage, did to be debated in the house of commons tomorrow but he denies it put him on a collision course with the government. >> the government wanted. we think there are issues around the way it is going forward. it is not a collision course, is just part of the normal discussion that one has. we have made our views clear and i am very much with the house of bishops on this. that have made their views clear. >> justin will be makes an unexpected candidate as archbishop of canterbury. he rose to the top of the oil industry before giving up a big salary to become a trainee priest in 1989. he became bishop barely 18 months ago. the challenges facing him r e enormous. the church is/issues of sexuality and gender and has to

work in an increasingly secular society. one man says his relative inexperience in the church could actually help him. >> people who have been bishop for a while cannot help but turned native. it is probably as well that the house of bishops has not had long enough to get at him and stop him being who he is. >> as today's ceremony ended, the doors of st. paul's were thrown open and the new archbishop emerged symbolically into his new domain. he has taken on what many regard as an impossible job, one made all the harder by the weight of expectation settling on him. >> now from church to crown. of 500 year-old mystery has finally been solved today. for centuries, the final resting place of the last english king to die in battle was unknown, but now archaeologists have unearthed

richard iii in a car park, of all places. depicted by shakespeare as a hunchback villain, he was killed in 1485. >> a long-lost english king, richard iii killed a leading his army against henry tudo 527 years ago. he was the last english monarchs slain in battle. over the centuries, the location of his grave has become a mystery. archaeologists began their search for richard last summer more in hope than expectation. despite all the anticipated difficulties, within hours of this first tranche being dug there was a breakthrough. human remains being found in this grave. the skeleton was largely intact, but the grave was crudely doug. there was evidence that the

hands had been found. the question was this once the king of england? >> it is the conclusion that beyond reasonable doubt the individual exhumed in september 2012 is indeed richard iii, the last plantagenet king of england. >> the evidence is overwhelming. study of the bones revealed they were from a young man of slender build. there was a pronounced curvature of the spine, all consistent with contemporary descriptions of richard. the bones also contained dna successfully matched to the king's known deceiving -- lalliving descendants. he has not been judged kindly by christmas. -- not been judged kindly by

history. he was played as a tyrannical, a 20th-century dictator. his modern-day admirers say there's no evidence that he murdered the princess in the tower. >> now is time for the facts to be given. once the people know everything they need to know about richard iii, i think it will have a very different assessment of the tax. >> the grave has already given up many secrets. we know that he was wounded in battle 10 times. preparations are being made to inter the remains of richard iii in a cathedral here next year. >> he worked -- whether he was a villain or not, he still ended up buried in a car park. continue watching bbc world
