NETHERLANDS: YOUNGSTERS DIE IN NEW YEARS EVE FIRE (V)
TAPE_NUMBER: EF01/0004 IN_TIME: 20:57:04 LENGTH: 00:58 SOURCES: NOS RESTRICTIONS: FEED: VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) SCRIPT: Voice and effects VOICED BY RICHARD VAUGHAN XFA A fire has ripped through a packed New Year's Eve celebration in the Dutch village of Volendam, killing at least five revellers and injuring more than 130. The fire started shortly after midnight local time as around 700 people were welcoming the new year in the picturesque fishing village about 20 kilometers (13 miles) northeast of Amsterdam. VOICE-OVER: 0003 The New Year was only a few minutes old when the fire started. Revellers, mostly teenagers and those in their early twenties, jumped from windows as flames engulfed the Little Heaven dance hall, which was packed at the time. Many of the victims were overcome by dense smoke and had to be pulled to safety by their hair, according to Dutch television. A hospital director in Amsterdam said 53 people had been admitted, about half of them in a critical condition with burn and inhalation injuries. The club, located above a row of old wooden buildings on the harbor, had a dance hall with a bar and cafe on each floor and was often used for weddings and celebrations. Eyewitnesses reported hearing explosions shortly before the blaze, raising fears that fireworks had been ignited inside the building. The death toll, currently standing at five, is expected to rise.

NETHERLANDS: YOUNGSTERS DIE IN NEW YEARS EVE FIRE (2)
TAPE_NUMBER: EF01/0005 IN_TIME: 04:00:44 - 10:10:32 LENGTH: 02:58 SOURCES: Shots 1-6 = NOS, the rest = BBC RESTRICTIONS: FEED: VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) SCRIPT: English/Nat XFA People in the Dutch town of Volendam are starting to come to terms with the loss of life following Sunday night's blaze in a popular disco which killed eight young people and left 200 injured. Investigators sought to explain the cause of the fire that began on the third floor of a party complex just after midnight, setting alight two adjoining night clubs where several hundred teenagers were ringing in 2001. Billowing smoke and lapping flames triggered panic among an estimated 700 visitors as fiery ceiling decorations fell down upon them. Eyewitnesses told of screams and breaking glass as many jumped from windows on the top floor of the bar known as Little Heaven. Scores suffered burn wounds, smoke inhalation and cuts, while others were trampled underfoot as the fleeing masses fell over each other while trying to escape. Firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze and began administering first aid to some of the 200 injured. With 90 people still hospitalised, health officials warned that the death toll could still climb as high as 20. In the initial confusion, concerned parents searched the smoky dark streets for their children as nearby houses were turned into makeshift medical posts. Residents of this harbour town about 20 kilometers (13 miles) northeast of Amsterdam were in mourning after a few minutes of chaos left them with memories they said will haunt them for life. The eight victims were between 16 and 22 years old. Three of them died in nearby hospitals. Emergency workers raced to the scene from across the country, spending more than four hours shuttling some 90 seriously injured to hospitals. By Monday evening, some 12 burn victims had been airlifted by helicopter to neighbouring Belgium and Germany. Forensic experts sifted through the charred remains in search of clues which could be linked to claims that there was only one functioning emergency exit and that fireworks had gone off inside the bar. Public prosecutors were considering a criminal investigation and had launched preliminary inquiries. SOUNDBITE: (English) "A complete disaster here, for this village.

YOKO TIPPED TO HAVE DANCE HIT WITH LENNON SONG As John Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, turns seventy, the artist is tipped with having a huge dancefloor hit. Yoko has recorded an 'electroclash' version of her husband's final song, 'Walking On Thin Ice, with the Pet Shop Boys. The remake is already said to be causing a stir among hip DJs. She was due to give the first public performance of the song in a New York club last night (17FEB03) - the eve of her 70th birthday. She and Lennon were working on the track the night he was shot dead by Mark Chapman in December 1980. Two months later she released the song and made it to number 35 in the UK charts. Now she has collaborated with long-time admirers and Parlophone labelmates Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe for the underground dance-style track. She has been swamped with offers to play at electro clubs such as Nag Nag Nag and The Cock in London. Monday's performance of the song will see her performing with renowned DJ Danny Tenaglia, who has remixed the track at New York's Arc club. Other remixers who have worked on the track to be released in April include Felix Da Housecat. She told PA News: "I'm very excited that people love the record. I've been asked to come over to Britain and play in some electro clubs and I think I will do that. "I'm playing at 6 in the morning in New York, the day before my 70th birthday. Even my son (Sean Lennon) thinks that's pretty good going for his mum. "This feels like a new beginning for me, with the dance community adopting me and my music. It's a very exciting time for me and I'm grateful for everyone's support." On Tuesday Sean is throwing a birthday party for his mum and her closest friends. The ivitation states: "Clothing optional. Chanel No 5 optional. Bring your heart and high heels." Yoko Ono's relationship with the other Beatles and their fans wasn't always happy a happy one, but was rarely short on action: A member of New York's avant-garde art scene, she staged concerts in a loft. She met Lennon in 1966 at one of her shows in London, Unfinished Paintings And Objects. Both were married to other partners at the time. After marrying at a quiet civil ceremony on Gibraltar in 1969, Lennon and Ono famously turned their seven-day honeymoon at the Amsterdam Hilton into a "bed-in". From their hotel room, the ex-Beatle and his new wife held press conferences where they appealed for world peace. Two years later, in October 1971, Lennon's most famous solo recording, 'Imagine', was released. Ono once said of the song: "For us, it was like a summation of what we believed." Ono was born into a wealthy and socially prominent Japanese family, spending a lot of time before the Second World War travelling between Japan and the US. Yoko moved to New York permanently in the early 60s. Lennon and Ono left Britain for good on September 3, 1971, flying to the US to make a new home. Lennon later recalled: "It was Yoko who sold me on New York." On March 20, 1975 - their sixth wedding anniversary - Lennon and Ono renewed their vows in a Druid celebration in the White Room of Lennon's sprawling apartment overlooking New York's Central Park. The couple's son, Sean Ono Taro Lennon, was born the same year on Lennon's birthday, weighing in at a eight pounds and 10 ounces. Lennon had another son, Julian, from his previous marriage to first wife, Cynthia. On December 8, 1980, Lennon was gunned down outside his home in the Dakota apartment block in Manhattan by assassin Mark Chapman. Chapman, sentenced to 20 years-to life, remains in prison. He was refused parole in November last year. In March last year, Ono hired a billboard in London's Piccadilly Circus to show a poster, surrounded by neon flashing lights, which quoted Lennon's song Imagine: "Imagine all the people living life in peace."

Having kicked off the European leg of their 'Licks' world tour with a well received concert at the Olympia Halle in Munich, Germany on Wednesday (Wednesday 4th June), the aging giants of rock, were in light-hearted mood. Ask about their concert song lists, Mick Jagger - who dominated the Q&A -said they just took the names of all their hits, threw them in the air and selected the first 21 that hit the floor. The only serious note was struck when they were asked about the choice of German rockers Boehse Onkelz (Evil Uncles) as support band for the gig in Hanover on August 8. It caused controversy when it was reported in the UK press that the group had far-right connections. Subsequently the band -whose were booked without the Rolling Stones' knowledge' - denied being racist or having any fascist links. They admitted being the darlings of the German skinhead scene in the 1980s, but claimed to have disowned the movement when its politics moved to the right. They claim their followers now are mainstream hard rock fans. Jagger said they accepted the expalnation and the band would still support the Rolling Stones. The band played to thousands of excited German fans in the Olympia Halle venue with a set which included the best of both the old and new. Their '40 Licks' world tour marks their 40th anniversary as a band. Jagger will celebrate his 60th birthday in July. With the American, Asian, and Australian legs of their 'Licks' tour now in the rear view mirror, the Stones will spend the summer of 2003 zigzagging throughout Europe. The tour will last three-and-a-half months wrapping up mid-September in the band's native England. In the various cities, including Paris, London, Munich, and Stockholm, the Stones will perform in a variety of venues - large stadiums , medium-sized arenas , and small theatres all in the same week. Keith has been referring to the tour as the 'Fruit Of The Loom' tour , saying "Small, medium, and large. We come in all sizes." Opening acts for the tour include AC/DC, the Cranberries, Counting Crows, the Hives, the Pretenders, and ZZ Top.

Wide shot Rolling Stones exit stage STONE'S ON A ROLL IN MUNICH The Rolling Stones joked there way through a press conference in Munich on Thursday. Having kicked off the European leg of their 'Licks' world tour with a well received concert at the Olympia Halle in Munich, Germany on Wednesday (Wednesday 4th June), the aging giants of rock, were in light-hearted mood. Ask about their concert song lists, Mick Jagger - who dominated the Q&A -said they just took the names of all their hits, threw them in the air and selected the first 21 that hit the floor. The only serious note was struck when they were asked about the choice of German rockers Boehse Onkelz (Evil Uncles) as support band for the gig in Hanover on August 8. It caused controversy when it was reported in the UK press that the group had far-right connections. Subsequently the band -whose were booked without the Rolling Stones' knowledge' - denied being racist or having any fascist links. They admitted being the darlings of the German skinhead scene in the 1980s, but claimed to have disowned the movement when its politics moved to the right. They claim their followers now are mainstream hard rock fans. Jagger said they accepted the expalnation and the band would still support the Rolling Stones. The band played to thousands of excited German fans in the Olympia Halle venue with a set which included the best of both the old and new. Their '40 Licks' world tour marks their 40th anniversary as a band. Jagger will celebrate his 60th birthday in July. With the American, Asian, and Australian legs of their 'Licks' tour now in the rear view mirror, the Stones will spend the summer of 2003 zigzagging throughout Europe. The tour will last three-and-a-half months wrapping up mid-September in the band's native England. In the various cities, including Paris, London, Munich, and Stockholm, the Stones will perform in a variety of venues - large stadiums , medium-sized arenas , and small theatres all in the same week. Keith has been referring to the tour as the 'Fruit Of The Loom' tour , saying "Small, medium, and large. We come in all sizes." Opening acts for the tour include AC/DC, the Cranberries, Counting Crows, the Hives, the Pretenders, and ZZ Top.
