ITN Morning News (9/3/1997) - partial

The latter part of the ITN Morning News from the early hours of Sunday, 9th March, 1997. Stories of the day include mandatory HIV screenings being considered for doctors, an overhaul of the pension system, possible contaminated water, Prince William's confirmation, and the fact that in China you could see both a solar eclipse and the Hale-Bopp comet simultaneously. Sports-wise, David Coulthard has just won the Australian GP in which Damon Hill somehow went out on the parade lap, Man Utd lost to Sunderland, free-scoring Bolton hit seven, and there were mad scenes at the Goldstone Ground which saw Ray Wilkins attacked by a pitch invader. Straddling the news and sport divide, the match-fixing trial of Bruce Grobbelaar, John Fashanu, Hans Segers, and a Malaysian businessman had reached a deadlock with no verdict returned. All were eventually cleared of all charges (subsequent libel actions notwithstanding), though personally I've never been convinced in the slightest that nothing dodgy was going on. Also contains two ad breaks a few promos. Many thanks to Ben for providing this recording. (If you're a copyright holder and have any objections, please feel free to contact me. Alternatively, I haven't monetised the video, so you're welcome to do so, and that way everybody wins.)
