With me, tanya beckett. I am here at the British Library to guide you through another five extraordinary moments from the recent past. We will meet a man who was the first to walk the entire length of the great wall of china, a scientist who sealed herself inside a giant greenhouse for an environmental experiment and a cuban musician who remembers recording one of the countrys most successful albums. But first, in september 1977, anti apartheid activist steve biko, leader of the black Consciousness Movement in south africa, died in police custody. Weeks earlier, he had been arrested. Witness has spoken to bikos friend, peterjones, who was arrested with him. I miss my friend steve biko and i am forever in his debt. Steve biko is one of the people that originated the new generation of Young Political minded black people. The black Consciousness Movement. We believe in our country there will be no minority, no majority, there willjust be people. And those people will have the same status
Of her partys annual conference, with british politics still domionated by turmoil over Brexit Laura Kuenssberg reports. Tory, tory, tory. Scum, scum, scum. The Prime Minister might find it hard to listen to that, let alone agree. The tory conference, a magnet for discontent and fury in some quarters. Most of the protests peaceful, or noisy at least. But theresa may does think she needs to Pay Attention to the national mood. After labour courted votes promising to scrap University Fees in england, they will be frozen there is a confirmation of a rethink too.
