0:00.0 | Morning has broken. This has not been a great week for Britain. It's not been a great week for the government. |
0:04.6 | It's not been a great week for anybody, really. The BBC, I've had an absolute mayor. |
0:09.4 | The government yesterday could have had the opportunity to discuss in great detail |
0:13.8 | exactly what was going on with the leak of the Afghanistan list, the kill list, as it's been called. |
0:20.2 | The 18,000 people who are now |
0:22.7 | living here, 18 and a half thousand actually, have been brought here as a result of a drastic |
0:27.6 | and dreadful mistake made by a member of the Royal Marines who sent out an email with 18.5,000 |

1:36.6 | it now turns out that they're actually going to be claiming compensation |
