Welcome to the show. Tonight's guest can be summed up by the title

of her most iconic song. I'll give you a clue. Girls just want to...

:00:27.:00:31.

Seymour of the legs of that bloke that Andy Murray has just played.

:00:31.:00:37.

It's good but it's not right. him drown his sorrows? That would

:00:37.:00:46.

also be lovely, but it's this... Girls just want to have fun. It's

:00:46.:00:56.
:00:56.:00:57.

Tell us, are you a fan of the tennis? Everybody watches it. I'm

:00:57.:01:04.

not big on sports but I like to watch Serena Williams. Huge

:01:04.:01:10.

congratulations to Andy Murray. was just watching it. Andy's mother,

:01:10.:01:15.

Judy Murray, has been embarrassing debate by saying she really fancies

:01:15.:01:21.

Feliciano Lopez. Do you think he's worth a wolf whistle? Yeah, come on,

:01:21.:01:27.

he's working out hard. If you have an embarrassing mum, or if you are

:01:27.:01:34.

an embarrassing mum yourself, send us a photo. Do tell us why. Have

:01:34.:01:40.

you been an embarrassing mum, you have a son who is 13, Declyn?

:01:40.:01:45.

is the age. I went to picking up one time from work. He was playing

:01:45.:01:52.

lacrosse. I picked him up from practice. He said, you are so

:01:52.:02:02.
:02:02.:02:02.

embarrassing! You came, you looked just like Cyndi Lauper! I am! But

:02:02.:02:12.
:02:12.:02:13.

he's a great kid. I was just telling them how many mothers the

:02:13.:02:17.

lessons - match how many lessons the mother probably drove her son

:02:17.:02:21.

took through his life. If there's one thing a journalist loves, it's

:02:21.:02:25.

telling the people juicy secrets. But our very own journalist, John

:02:25.:02:29.

Sergeant, has a story of why a loose tongue could land you in jail.

:02:29.:02:33.

The key thing when you're talking about the Official Secrets Act is

:02:33.:02:39.

to have a good disguise. The Act is designed to prevent foreign powers

:02:39.:02:44.

stealing away secrets... Or is it? No, everyone is covered by this Act.

:02:44.:02:49.

None of us is meant to have official secret information. When I

:02:49.:02:54.

joined the BBC years ago, I was officially told that I must abide

:02:54.:03:01.

by the Act. So what is the thinking behind this legislation? Professor

:03:01.:03:05.

Keith Jeffries is the only outsider to be giving unrestricted access to

:03:05.:03:10.

the early files of MI6, when the Official Secrets Act started in

:03:10.:03:16.

1911. This is a moment of national paranoia. They are really afraid of

:03:16.:03:19.

German spies swarming across the country. Did they know much about

:03:19.:03:23.

what spies would be like? They didn't have a clue. They thought

:03:23.:03:28.

that any German was potentially a spy. They were worried about German

:03:28.:03:31.

waiters and hairdressers. There were people who believed you could

:03:31.:03:35.

tell spies and Germans by the shape of their head. What did the act

:03:35.:03:39.

changed? For the first time, it established that all government

:03:39.:03:44.

information was secret. And that all government servants had to keep

:03:44.:03:48.

everything secret. If they revealed any information in the purpose of

:03:48.:03:52.

their employment, that they could be prosecuted under the Act.

:03:52.:03:57.

years ago, the short-lived News on Sunday revealed that if you read

:03:57.:04:02.

this you could be sent to prison but two years. And what was this?

:04:02.:04:07.

It was the menu from the Ministry of Defence. Which revealed for the

:04:07.:04:17.
:04:17.:04:18.

first time that spaghetti bolognese cost 75p. It's �5.85 now. It's easy

:04:18.:04:23.

to poke fun at the Official Secrets Act. But break it, and you could

:04:23.:04:29.

face jail, an unlimited fine or both. Catherine Dunne was a GCHQ

:04:29.:04:33.

translator who leaked secrets of the preparations for the Iraq war.

:04:33.:04:38.

She could have been jailed for two years. She has moved to Turkey but,

:04:38.:04:41.

thanks to the internet, we've been able to contact her and she is keen

:04:41.:04:46.

to explain why she decided to break the law and ruin her career. At the

:04:46.:04:52.

time I just wanted to get the information out and try and make a

:04:52.:04:58.

difference. I felt what I did was to prevent an imminent war that

:04:58.:05:07.

would cost the lives of thousands. As it happened, it didn't work.

:05:07.:05:12.

her surprise the case was dropped at the start of her trial. For her

:05:12.:05:16.

supporters, the climbdown exposed the irrelevance of the Act.

:05:16.:05:20.

acted out of conscience. She wasn't a spy or anything of that kind. The

:05:20.:05:25.

idea that you should use the big stick of the Official Secrets Act

:05:25.:05:28.

against a conscience stricken whistleblower is wrong and out of

:05:28.:05:32.

date. The Official Secrets Act is a hangover from wartime.

:05:32.:05:35.

governments are bound to want to keep their secrets secret. That's

:05:35.:05:39.

the problem. Politicians don't want to have their grubby little secrets

:05:39.:05:44.

exposed. So Whitehall and Westminster have every incentive to

:05:44.:05:48.

retain the Act. And therefore, the only way you will get it stopped or

:05:49.:05:52.

reform despite pressure from outside. One of the biggest threats

:05:52.:05:55.

to government secrets comes from the internet. Thousands of

:05:55.:06:02.

confidential documents have been published by WikiLeaks. So has the

:06:02.:06:07.

Official Secrets Act had its day? It still embodies the notion that

:06:07.:06:10.

all government information is secret unless the Government

:06:10.:06:14.

chooses to release it. And that means as well as hiding genuine

:06:14.:06:17.

national secrets, there's the potential and sometimes the

:06:17.:06:20.

suspicion that governments might hide things for embarrassment

:06:20.:06:27.

reasons. That's not good enough. The government has become more open

:06:27.:06:33.

in recent years. We know that is the headquarters of MI6. But within

:06:33.:06:36.

that building there are still plenty of secrets. And so there

:06:36.:06:43.

should be. Lovely hat, John. He looked smart. Talking of the Act,

:06:43.:06:47.

you got to be careful what you say to hairdressers. Yet, but he

:06:47.:06:51.

doesn't look like you say it's a long time in the chair. You don't

:06:51.:06:55.

know what's going on and do that hat. That's true. George Bernard

:06:55.:06:59.

Shaw once famously said that as Brits and you Americans were two

:06:59.:07:03.

countries separated by a common language. It's true. Talking of

:07:04.:07:10.

languages, I'm not so great. Alex speaks Welsh and Inglis form --.

:07:10.:07:15.

But now there are a number of mobile phone apps that translator

:07:15.:07:23.

at the touch of a button. When we Brits go abroad and of faced with

:07:23.:07:30.

the language barrier, things can get a little bit embarrassing.

:07:30.:07:35.

Thank you for speaking English. not any more. Technology has come

:07:35.:07:39.

to the rescue. I've hopped off the Eurostar and arrived in Paris. I'm

:07:39.:07:44.

going to spend all day speaking French using only this to help the.

:07:44.:07:47.

My phone is armed with an application which can translate my

:07:47.:07:51.

voice into French and from French back into English. And I don't have

:07:51.:07:56.

to write a message or look up the words. I want to do some

:07:56.:08:05.

sightseeing. I'm going to see it can translate, where is the Louvre.

:08:05.:08:10.

Where is the Louvre? It's working. Where is Billy's? Minor teething

:08:10.:08:20.
:08:20.:08:22.

problems. Where is the museum? I'm going to put in the Louvre. One

:08:22.:08:32.
:08:32.:08:51.

Merci. Nitro wheels are Hayes. That's confusing in any language!

:08:51.:08:58.

Let's help the app out by speaking slower. It is far and take the

:08:58.:09:03.

Metro. We have figured out that I need to get to a Metro. Merci, au

:09:03.:09:09.

revoir. We are underground. I want to find out how to buy a ticket.

:09:09.:09:19.
:09:19.:09:21.

One ticket, please. What do you think? It's good? Very good.

:09:21.:09:28.

Success! It worked, I got my ticket. I made it. The first part of my

:09:28.:09:38.
:09:38.:09:45.

Time to reward myself with an ice cream. What fragrance? I'm guessing

:09:45.:09:51.

that means flavour. This is working a treat. Off to the Eiffel Tower.

:09:51.:10:01.
:10:01.:10:09.

I wonder what my cab driver thinks Another Parisian landmark, and I

:10:09.:10:19.
:10:19.:10:21.

can't leave here without having my It's been a bit hit and miss. So do

:10:21.:10:26.

the apps make us recognise it's not perfect? It is dependent on the

:10:26.:10:29.

noise around you and whatever else is going on and the connection you

:10:29.:10:33.

have. Let's not forget this was an element of almost science-fiction

:10:33.:10:38.

10 years ago, now it's a reality. We are breaking barriers. We are

:10:38.:10:41.

enabling people from different cultures to embrace and communicate

:10:41.:10:45.

with each other. The final and most important test is the language of

:10:45.:10:55.
:10:55.:10:59.

I think this is going to be worth understanding! Could you repeat it

:10:59.:11:09.
:11:09.:11:16.

It makes me very happy to see you. Did you notice that was the only

:11:16.:11:22.

phrase that she didn't actually Query? All he was trying to say was

:11:22.:11:28.

Nitro wheels are Haye. Cyndi, you are quoted as saying I'd do speak

:11:28.:11:33.

the Queen's English, just the wrong Queens, it's over be 59th Bridge in

:11:33.:11:40.

New York. Do people struggle sometimes to understand you? No, I

:11:40.:11:45.

think it's really great when I come here because you all have an accent.

:11:45.:11:50.

It's a really thick accent to me. I feel comfortable because I have an

:11:50.:11:54.

accent, too. Especially if I go to Australia, they we have an accent.

:11:54.:12:00.

I don't mind your accent because it makes me... I like accents. What

:12:00.:12:06.

about County Durham, here? It's nice. I think it's great to have an

:12:06.:12:10.

accent. You know where people are from, it's the flavour of the world.

:12:10.:12:15.

You are back on tour, touring Europe. I am. With music in a

:12:15.:12:20.

different style to what people might accept -- expect. Edit a

:12:20.:12:30.
:12:30.:12:30.

Blues CD. -- idea Day Blues CD. It's been quite extraordinary for

:12:30.:12:38.

me. I feel so lucky. To be singing this, it's Blues but we mix it up.

:12:38.:12:43.

It's kind of a fabulous gift to be able to go back, because when I

:12:43.:12:47.

started singing I was in a Janis Joplin cover band. I kind of went

:12:48.:12:52.

back and started again. You are sounding great. We've got a clip of

:12:52.:13:02.
:13:02.:13:19.

# Early this morning. # All that's left arm my shattered

:13:19.:13:29.
:13:29.:13:30.

dreams... You do sound incredible. Have you completely ditched the old

:13:30.:13:36.

songs? No, that's what I was trying to tell you. We do them with a

:13:36.:13:41.

blues flavour. It's kind of fun. It's hilarious to me. I have a

:13:41.:13:51.
:13:51.:13:53.

blast. I do goals -- Girls Just Want To Have Fun. I meant that song

:13:53.:13:58.

to empower women. Being part of a song like that which gives

:13:58.:14:03.

empowerment to women all over the world is fantastic. It's become an

:14:03.:14:11.

anthem. It's always been. On we go. Many things have been used to heal

:14:11.:14:17.

wounds over the years that leave a nasty taste in your mouth. Leeches,

:14:17.:14:21.

maggots, even intestinal parasites. Enough - people are eating their

:14:22.:14:28.

tea! The latest from Birmingham is far from sour. It's quite sweet.

:14:28.:14:36.

Its sugar. A bats better. -- that is better. When it comes to

:14:36.:14:41.

treating wounds, infection is the number one enemy. It can even be

:14:41.:14:45.

life threatening. Here at the new Queen Elizabeth Hospital in

:14:45.:14:48.

Birmingham, a pioneering study is looking at a sweet solution to

:14:48.:14:53.

wound healing. Ordinary sugar, the stuff we put in our tea. It's

:14:53.:15:00.

proving an effective solution. This nursing lecturer is the man who's

:15:00.:15:06.

convinced the NHS to take this treatment seriously. He grew up in

:15:06.:15:10.

Zimbabwe. With no money for medicine, his father treated his

:15:10.:15:20.
:15:20.:15:20.

wounds with sugar. UCATT yourself and you turn to sugar. He was

:15:20.:15:29.

pouring sugar on to the wound? The tie the sugar around it.

:15:29.:15:39.
:15:39.:15:39.

would rip off a bit of his shirt, When Moses first arrived in the UK,

:15:39.:15:43.

he was surprised to see that we were not using sugar in our

:15:43.:15:50.

hospitals. He has fought to win approval to test it on patients.

:15:50.:15:54.

Malcolm Day had a skin graft on his elbow in 2009 after an insect bite

:15:54.:15:58.

became infected. But the skin covering his joined refuses to heal.

:15:58.:16:04.

He started sugar treatment 24 hours ago. Malcolm, it is about the size

:16:04.:16:11.

of a 10 pence piece on the edge of your elbow. It looks very sore.

:16:11.:16:17.

is not so red as it was yesterday. Sugar Greece poured on to cause,

:16:17.:16:21.

then carefully rolled onto the wind. Depending on size and severity of

:16:21.:16:27.

the wind, the sugar dressing can be replaced as often as twice a day.

:16:27.:16:31.

This is not the first time sweet stuff has been used by the NHS.

:16:31.:16:36.

Clinical trials have shown that honey has anti-bacterial properties

:16:36.:16:41.

and can promote wound healing. But Moses' research centres on sugar,

:16:41.:16:45.

as it is readily available, and perhaps more importantly to the NHS,

:16:45.:16:48.

it is cheap. So what other properties of sugar that enable it

:16:48.:16:53.

to fight infection in wounds? It all centres on sugar's ability to

:16:53.:16:59.

absorb moisture. The bacteria that cause the infection need water to

:16:59.:17:06.

survive. As you pour sugar run to the wind, it sucks up the water,

:17:06.:17:12.

dehydrating and killing any bacteria. Moses has won support for

:17:12.:17:16.

his sugar treatment from a hospital consultant, who is backing the

:17:16.:17:24.

project. He himself used sugar to treat gunshot wounds in Kenya.

:17:24.:17:27.

dressings for wounds need to be absorbent, nonadherent and capable

:17:27.:17:32.

of suppressing infection. Sugar ticks the boxes. And it is widely

:17:32.:17:39.

available, cheap and well tolerated. They have now started a full

:17:39.:17:43.

clinical trial of the sugar treatment that will take up to 18

:17:43.:17:46.

months to complete. For patients like Malcolm Day, sugar treatment

:17:46.:17:52.

is already proving effective. After 48 hours, his wind has improved

:17:52.:17:56.

significantly. Sugar treatments cost just �1.50 on average per

:17:57.:18:00.

patient. So if the trial proves successful, there could save the

:18:00.:18:05.

NHS a fortune and be available on wards like this within two years.

:18:05.:18:11.

Something to think about next time you asked one lump or two?

:18:11.:18:15.

Had is definitely a cheap alternative. He said you are

:18:16.:18:20.

desperately trying to give up sugar. Yes, it is very hard, because it is

:18:20.:18:24.

in everything. And it promotes yeast all the time. I guess it

:18:24.:18:29.

works great on wounds. It is quite surprising. It is surprising,

:18:30.:18:36.

because they always say Sugar is bad for you. Cyndi, in 1984, you

:18:36.:18:41.

won the first ever MTV award for Best Female Video for Girls Just

:18:42.:18:45.

Want to Have Fun. And it is still following you around. This is

:18:45.:18:51.

brilliant. This was you belting it out when you and other passengers

:18:51.:18:56.

were delayed at Buenos Aires airport. That was obviously very

:18:56.:19:01.

any Prom queue. You see that lady next to me? She was the person

:19:01.:19:07.

making the announcements, and suddenly she turned into a DJ.

:19:07.:19:12.

There was a bachelor rent party going on. And when the flight was

:19:12.:19:17.

delayed, they started the party. They were dressed in Carnival

:19:17.:19:20.

because it was carnival time, and the poor bride had a thing on her

:19:20.:19:23.

head. They blindfolded her and they were singing over the microphone.

:19:23.:19:29.

And then there was a rugby team, and they were chanting. And then

:19:29.:19:34.

suddenly they were like Cyndi is here, and she is going to sing. I

:19:34.:19:41.

thought, this is just like the movie. They are so funny, too.

:19:42.:19:46.

1984, when you won the award, that must have been an amazing feeling.

:19:46.:19:51.

Well, I was nominated for seven and I was so glad to win one, because

:19:51.:19:55.

my mom was there. And I wore the tiara and wanted to be Queen of

:19:55.:20:00.

something. Did you realise at the time that you were going to plays

:20:00.:20:06.

this trail for women in pop? Well, I would have loved to have done

:20:06.:20:14.

that anyway so, because I think sisterhood is powerful. We have a

:20:14.:20:21.

lovely picture of you with Lady Gaga. You are certainly have a role

:20:21.:20:25.

model. You know, she does her own thing. She is very much into art

:20:25.:20:32.

and sculpture. It was really enjoyable to do that campaign with

:20:32.:20:40.

her. I never felt like a freak. I could just relax. We raised a lot

:20:40.:20:48.

of money for AIDS awareness. have played Glastonbury and spent a

:20:48.:20:52.

lot of -- you have played Glasgow and you seem to have Scotland?

:20:52.:20:59.

I have friends there. My friend Angela is also a singer. She is

:20:59.:21:05.

from there, and they held a party for me. All the musicians got

:21:05.:21:10.

together and they played fiddle music. It was wonderful. As a treat,

:21:10.:21:18.

we have made you or Lady Lauper of Lochaber. We have sorted you're a

:21:18.:21:22.

bit of land in the Highlands. We planted an oak tree there for you.

:21:22.:21:29.

There is the proof. Thank you. That is so sweet! Earlier, we asked for

:21:29.:21:37.

pictures of your embarrassing mums. We have had loads. Here is Hannah

:21:37.:21:44.

with Herr embarrassing mum no Greece. -- Louise. What have you

:21:44.:21:53.

got? Lauren says, my mom does all she can to embarrass me, but I love

:21:53.:22:00.

her dearly. This is Kirsten and Jess. This is their mum. They say

:22:00.:22:06.

she asks for random things and stars ram conversations in shops.

:22:06.:22:11.

am sure Billy's mum, when he is older, will thank him for that.

:22:11.:22:16.

went out of her way. My son would be embarrassed of the shot with me

:22:16.:22:20.

holding my MTV award. The Memphis Blues tour continues at London hums
