Working class tradition of writers. Art is everywhere, thats what were told in ourtraining. Well, theres never been anything on summergangs road ever people are a bit worried that its been so extraordinary, its beaten all expectations, and the complacency that might come from that might mean that day by day, week by week, we dont keep going, we dont keep fighting for audiences. Ooh, heres me volunteering at the turner prize. Ooh, heres me with another robot. The play lovingly satirises the full blooded enthusiasm of hulls day glo dressed army of volunteer guides, some of whom were in the audience. So you were a volunteer . I was. How did you find the play . I found it very funny. And quite affecting towards the end, because we put a lot into it and we loved doing it and we think we have helped make hull better. The one thing right the end, especially for me, was the fact that they were talking about how bad people think hull was before. Nobody wanted to go to hull, and everything has c

And coming up on sportsday on bbc news as that clock ticks on transfer deadline day, the premier league witnessed its fastest goal this season, as tottenham took an early lead against manchester united. Good evening. Theresa may has defended her leadership at the start of a three day trade visit to china. She insisted to reporters that she wasnt a quitter, following days of criticism from within her own party. Speaking in beijing, the Prime Ministerforecast a golden era in trade relations between the two countries, but admitted that her government had to do more to advance its domestic agenda. Our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg is travelling with the Prime Minister. Even the most carefully planned entrance can go a touch awry. A bit of pushing and shoving, not the political kind this time. Asias red carpets, though, hardly provide a rest. Theresa mays here to do business, b

And reagan wanted to negotiate with them. He wanted, from the very start, to negotiate with them. In january of 1983, in discussing some of the arms negotiations with the soviets, he wrote in his diary, found i was wishing i could do the negotiating with the soviets. They cant be any tougher than Frank Freeman and harry cohen, the respective heads of paramount studios and columbia pictures. So, let me briefly summarize three examples of reagan engaging his cold war adversaries. And the first is, you know, still a somewhat surprising story of reagan and pregorbachev soviet leaders. For more than five years, reagan wrote in his memoir, recalling the year 1985, id made little progress with my efforts at quiet diplomacy. For one thing, the soviets, soviet leaders kept dying on me.
