Now on bbc news, witness hears stories about Charlie Chaplins extraordinary life from the silent film icons son, and the moment Princess Diana visited the uks first hiv aids unit that exclusively cared for patients infected with the virus at London Middlesex hospital. Hello, and welcome to witness, with me, tanya beckett, back here at the British Library in london. We have got another five witnesses who have shared their personal memories of history. This month on the programme, well meet the israeli lawyer who prosecuted the architect of the holocaust. Well visit a chinese archaeologist who worked on the statues of the Terracotta Army. And the son of Charlie Chaplin invites us into his home. But first, were going back to the 1980s and the beginning of the hiv aids outbreak. At that time, stigma about the condition was rife. But, in 1987, Princess Diana agreed to make a highly symbolic visit to the first hiv aids unit in britain. Our first witness, john 0reilly, was a nurse at the unit who welcomed one of the most famous women in the world. For everybody affected by hiv aids around the world, it was a major moment. It was a major coup. It was amazing. Officially, the princess was simply opening the first purpose billed hiv aids ward in britain. But more significantly, she demonstrated her confidence to staff and the public that aids cannot be taken in by casual contact. People were frightened, really frightened, because we didnt know what it was to begin with. There was a lot of aids phobia, a lot of homophobia. The media were unkind, particularly the tabloid press. I hated all of that kind of misinformation and hysteria. The headlines were scaremongering, ignorant, misleading the general public. As far as im concerned, the gay plague was the homophobia, not the virus. I didnt tell anybody what i did. I didnt even tell fellow nurses or doctors what i did. Ijust said i was a nurse at the middlesex hospital. I didnt feel safe. None of us felt safe. But we had very, very few staff. We had very few medical and nursing staff. We couldnt attract staff because people were frightened. The unit has created other pressures in the hospital. Staff treating People With Aids are subject to extra strain. Obviously we have to be careful with blood and body fluids, obviously, because that is the way it is transmitted. Obviously if we are dealing with those things, we will use gloves if necessary. But were not going out of our way use spacesuits and the rest because its totally unnecessary. My First Impressions of Princess Diana was she was warm, sophisticated, elegant, and smart. I warmed to her instantly. She took our consultant down a peg or two, whod really kind of condescendingly said, do you know what this is . He was holding up an x ray of a chest. She just very politely said, i am patron of the british heart and lung foundation, of course i know what an x ray is. I thought good on you, i like that. Anticipation always surrounds what the princess of wales wears for an engagement, but the obersveration has rarely been keener than yesterday. Just one question dominated the whole day. Would she or wouldnt she wear gloves . Princess diana demonstrated that she cared because she took everyones hand. This was diana, the princess of wales, coming in without gloves and shaking our patients hands, as well as ours. It was very moving. The ward can take 12 patients. Today, though, the beds were empty. They were hiding from the media, unhappy with how the epidemic was portrayed in the past. Finally, one agreed to a picture of the princess shaking his hand to prove you cannot catch aids through casual contact. I dont think it took much convincing for him. He was dying. He thought, well, so what . I will do it. And the night it aired, i got lots of notes pushed under my door. It was very, very moving. And i never got any negative reaction from the public at all. For if a royal could go in and shake a patients hands, somebody at the bus stop or the supermarket could do the same. It educated people. I think Princess Dianas departure has done the world a lot of harm. John now works as a psychotherapist in london. Next, to a story from world war two. But this is not about battles it is about the many women who met and married foreign servicemen when they were serving in europe. In 1946, thousands of war brides sailed from Britain To Canada to be reunited with their husbands and begin their new lives. Betty hawkins was one of them. Newsreel since 1939, some 2a,000 british girls have married canadians. 3000 of them have already been sent to canada by the department of immigration. We left our families and our relatives, our friends, for this one man that we were in love with. It was a marvellous thing that the canadian government did. And, i mean, they moved 47,000 women and over 22,000 children. When the war started, we thought london was going to be blitzkrieged. If you dont know What Blitzkrieging is, it is having hundreds of bombers coming over and dropping bombs. B1 bombs were terrifying because you could hear them coming. And this one came down with the enginesjust roaring. And it hit the houses at the back of us. The canadians, of course, are part of the commonwealth. Newsreel another big ship tying itself up at the british port. So the canadian troops started coming over. They talked to everybody. Thats the canadian way. This canadian soldier that became my husband was a very nice looking guy. I was 18 or 19 years old when i met him. It was a case of being young, being in love. He asked me to marry him. I asked my mother. She seemed to think it was a good idea. More wives and kiddies of canadian servicemen are off to their land of opportunity across the sea. It was a one way trip we didnt know these men very well when we agreed to marry them. On arrival at the port, everyone is safely stored aboard the ship which will take them on their long journey. We sailed over it took ten days to sail over. We wondered what it was going to be like, of course. Canada is proud of our 18,000 adopted daughters, willing to learn about canadian life through classes. We did not know thing except that canada was vast. We did not know a thing except that canada was vast. All we could see was snow. When i first came to this house, there was no running water, there was no electricity, there was no bathroom. We didnt have a lot of money. Ken had to work away quite a lot. I think that, ill admit, that is probably why i had eight children. When husbands have to work away, youre glad to see them when they come back. There were a lot of us who were very brave, or else very silly i dont know which it was, well, i would say an adventure. Betty hawkins talking to witness from her home in canada. Now to one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century. In the spring of 1974, a group of farmers in china accidentally uncovered the site of the vast Terracotta Army. Our next witness is an archaeologist, li xiuzhen, who has devoted her career to these life size warriors. Newsreel its a vast pottery army being unearthed from the tomb it has laid in for more than 2000 years. And li xiuzhen still works on the site of the Terracotta Army in china. Remember, you can watch witness every month on the bbc news channel and you can catch up on all of the films along with more than 1,000 Radio Programmes in our on line archive. Just go to bbc news. In 1961, adolf eichmann, the nazi who planned the holocaust was put on trial injerusalem. Gabriel bach was a young israeli lawyer at the time and was chosen as one of the prosecutors in a trial attracting worldwide attention. Newsreel in the ninth week of This Jerusalem Trial for the murder of 6 million jews, Albert Eichmann takes the stand in the bullet proof dock. Eichmann was the head of what is called Thejewish Department Of The Ss and the gestapo. In many german documents, it was called 0peration eichmann, the murder of thejews of europe. Hitler and himmler and these people who actually made the order to kill all thejews in 1941, they, of course, were more guilty. But eichmann was in charge of the whole of the carrying out of the holocaust. Eichmann, in 1960, was caught by israeli agents in the argentine. And then he was brought to israel. Two days after he arrived in israel, the Minister Ofjustice called me, and he said, mr bach, i imagine you will be one of the prosecutors in the trial. But would you be prepared to be in charge of the investigation . The whole world spoke about it, in all the newspapers. You could see that eichmann was proud about anything he did in order to prevent the saving of a single jew. Translation and then they took my mother, and she said, let us go before her. They called mother and shot her too. There was a man in israel. I put him on the stage as a witness, and then i asked him, what happened to your family . He said he had no idea what auschwitz meant. And he said, my wife, when we came there, was sent to the left. Which we were told afterwards was the gas chambers. And i had a little daughter, two and a half years old, and of course, they also said to the left. Then they asked what was your profession . and i said i was an engineer in the army. So sent to the right, they wanted me to do some work. And i had a boy. How old was he . Hub]. So the ss commander said he had to speak to the commander in chief. So it took a few minutes, and then said the boy, run after your mother. And i saw the witness, he was back there, with with tears in his eyes. And he said, i couldnt see my wife any more, she was swallowed up in the crowd. I couldnt see my son anymore, he was swallowed in the crowd. But my little daughter, she had a red coat, and that little red dot, getting smaller and smaller this is how my family disappeared from my life. At that time, my little daughter was exactly two all and a half years old, and i had bought her a red coat, two weeks before that. And so when the witness said that about the red coat, it suddenly cut off my voice completely. I suddenly couldnt utter a sound. Until this very day, i can be in a restaurant, i can be in the street, and i suddenly feel my heart beating, and i turn around and i see a little boy or a little girl in red coat. The former isreali prosecutor, gabriel bach, speaking to us in jerusalem. In april 1872, the silent movie star, Charlie Chaplin, Returned To America after two decades in exile in switzerland. For our final film this month, witness has been to the comedians former home on lake geneva, to meet his son, eugene. Charlie chaplin, my father, he was a pioneer in silent movies. He understood, he saw the potential of filmmaking. He made about 80 films while he was in america. By the age of 23, he was world famous. This is the house where i grew up but its a museum now. I was born here, in switzerland. Im numberfive of the eight kids my father had with 0ona. In the 1950s, there was a witch hunt against the liberals in america, and my father, he was accused of being a sympathiser to communists. Plus he had problems with his private life. So when he went to europe, he received a telegram, saying that they revoked his visa, and that he had to go in front of a moral committee, if he wanted to re enter america. He was very hurt by that. He said, if they are going to treat me like that, im not going back. Switzerland is the last part of his life, where he didnt do as many films, but he really had the normal life he always wanted. We lived in a bubble. My parents were really in love with each other. He was funny at home. But he was very strict on education. He wanted us to do well at school, and he wanted us to be well behaved at home. We would have dinner every night. If you wanted to get up to go to the toilet you would have to ask permission. We all had our turns to be able to speak. With me, he always said, you know, you can do whatever you want. But whatever you are going to do, do it well. In the 1970s he was invited to go to america to receive an oscar. He was surprised and bothered about it. I think he had very mixed feelings, because of all the bad memories he had there. My mothers view, she thought it would be a great opportunity for my father and america to kind of forgive each other, and she was right. The reception in the United States was great. Obviously it was much better than he expected. He was very touched by that. Especially at the oscars. There was a 20 minute standing ovation. All his friends were there. Afterwards, he was in a better mood. I could feel that the pressure of having to go over there was over. Ive learned one thing he is mine emotionally, but he is not mine any more, because he is such a public figure. He is everyones, and everyone has their theories about him. Before, i got very mad about that, but now i accept it. I have my truth now. Five years after his return to the us, Charlie Chaplin died on christmas day, 1977. His son eugene still lives near the family mansion. That is all from witness this month. From me, tanya beckett, and the rest of the witness team, goodbye. On. Good afternoon. West is definitely best for sunday sunshine. Further east, quite a lot of cloud around. 0n the Satellite Picture you can see this Cloud Across Scotland and eastern england, then further west the sunshine, temperatures in Northern Ireland creeping up to 20 degrees. Just 7 degrees on the yorkshire coast, but on the coast of cornwall, plenty of sunshine. 0pen scotland, on the east, plenty of cloud, so a day of contrast which will continue through the rest of the afternoon. A sunday stroll across eastern areas, you are the afternoon.

Through this evening and tonight, cloud will continue to affect the eastern half of the country but whereas through the day that has left things rather chilly, overnight temperatures will hold up. It will be a little milder. But out west with those clear spells it could be cold enough for a touch of frost. Into tomorrow, more of the same. We will continue to see in north easterly wind feeding into scotla nd north easterly wind feeding into scotland and across the east some of Thatis Scotland and across the east some of that is getting into the midlands. It could just the odd spot of drizzle and things will equally brighten up a bit. Chilly along the east coast, main degrees, but further west even with some sunshine it will not be quite as warm as today. All of us getting slightly cooler air. A subtle change in tuesday, if you watch the isobars, to the stretch apart. Not so many of them on the charts and that shows us them on the charts and that shows us the winds will be lighter on tuesday. Still rather cloudy in the east, perhaps the odd splash of a breeze, perhaps not quite as chilly, especially in the sunshine, 13 16, relatively pleasant. For the middle of the week, things should turn warmer, more sunshine and lighter winds, but by the end of the week another change with cloud and some rain likely. We have not had much of that recently, but it will creep up from the south. Plenty of details on the weather for the next ten days where you are on our website. This is bbc news. Im shaun ley.

The Liberal Democrats commit to keeping the triple lock on pensions but those on higher incomes would lose the winter fuel payment
