to make his big pitch to the Lib Dem conference, stick with the | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
coalition, and as importantly, stick with him. Ignore flirtations | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
with Labour at the conference this week, the only conversation in | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
Glasgow may be what kind of coalition we get after the election. | :00:25. | :00:28. | |

This man masterminded Barack Obama's on-line election campaign, | :00:36. | :00:40. | |

Ahhhh. And oh the handbags and the glad | :00:49. | :00:55. | |

Good evening Nick Clegg has a job of work to do at the party annual | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
conference this weekend. The Liberal Democrats poll ratings are | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
in the doldrums, one of his rising stars, Sara Tether, has thrown in | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
the towel. According to the latest stars, Sara Tether, has thrown in | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
Ipsos mori survey of the party supporters, almost half believe | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
Nick Clegg is taking the party in the wrong direction. It has not | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
been a summer of fun for Labour or Conservatives either. Assessing the | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
conference to come. Soft centre? Something harder? | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
Perhaps you prefer your politics a bit NUTier. Conference season | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
normally has it all. It is where the parties compete to tempt voters. | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
The start of this year's conferences mark exactly 600 days | :01:46. | :01:53. | |
until the election. Sweet news for Nick Clegg, whose conference comes | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
first, is he goes into the conference season perhaps the most | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
secure out of all the party leaders, with the least to worry about from | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
the coming few weeks. Friday the 13th didn't start so | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
well for the Lib Dem leader, a call for him to step down from the | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
former fresh spokesman Lord Oakeshott. He said the ratings were | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
down at levels, which if you go back, were only seen by Mrs | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
Thatcher shortly before she left and Michael Foot. The call gained | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
no traction with Vince Cable, he disowned the comments and Nick | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
Clegg was able to shrug them off. It is like foul weather in the | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
autumn, it comes around regularly at this time of year, and as do | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
remarks by Lord Oakeshott. He has said them before about previous | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
leaders, you have people like that said them before about previous | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
in politics. One of the reasons Nick Clegg sleeps well right now is | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
there are no obvious contenders for their job. Had Chris Huhne been | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
acquitted earlier in the year, he would have been the obvious answer | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
to that question. Given what has happened with him. Actually there | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
isn't an obvious alternative leader, in particular because a lot of the | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
criticism levelled at Nick Clegg is by virtue of him being the leader | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
of a small party in Government. That is why activists do understand | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
if there was a new leader of the party they would be in exactly the | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
same position and face the same criticisms. The Lib Dems have had a | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
few sweet successes this year, defeating the Conservatives on | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
boundary reform and childcare ratios went down very well with the | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
base, as did killing off the Communications Data Bill. The | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
budget announcement that the Lib Dem policy of a £10,000 tax-free | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
allowance would be reached by 2014 was also seen as a victory for the | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
party. That all came before the hugely important political news of | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
better economic figures. The economy is starting to turn a | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
corner because of the Lib Dems, without us showing remarkable unity | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
and resolve over the last period, we wouldn't have produced, as we | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
have done, over a million-and-a- half new jobs in the private sector. | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
We wouldn't have provided the confidence to businesses to employ | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
more people and investing in businesses and getting the economy | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
growing again. Nick Clegg has secured his party leadership may be | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
good news for him, does it matter if nobody going to vote for his | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
party? At the moment they are bumping along at around about 11 | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
points in the polls, they have shed bumping along at around about 11 | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
a third Lib Dem members since 2010, however, both of the other party | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
leaders have their problems too. At the moment Liberal Democrat MPs are | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
more confident of holding on to their seats, therefore they are | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
more confident of holding on to less jumpy and ease yr to lead. -- | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
easier to lead. Since Nick Clegg last addressed his | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
party his position may have strengthened, but he still faces | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
challenges next week, motions on Trident, the 50p tax rate, the | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
spare room subsidy and tuition fee, all promise to be uncomfortable. | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
With Britain ruled out of military action in Syria and the economy | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
looking well, there is nothing it that trip the party into an | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
existential fist fight. That means they can all concentrate their | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
address in trying to push the other parties out of the picture. Now we | :05:16. | :05:23. | |
speak to our political editor. Where do you think the sparks will | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
fly at conference conference? There will be a few sparks, I was amazed | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
that there was 600 days to the next election. There will be sparks at | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
the conference, many more in the 600 days. The sparks will be quite, | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
quite massive, but nothing compared to what we will see close to the | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
election. We will get row over the economy. There is some who want | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
some kind of Plan B, they always get this at Lib Dem conferences. | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
Today we gather that Nick Clegg will put forward his own amendment | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
and personalise it, and say if you defeat this you will defeat me. I | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
would say that will be avert, there is also nuclear supsidies and a | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
couple of others. You will hear a lot of rows coming out of Lib Dem | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
conference, and it is fair to say, my sources tell me, at a very | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
senior meeting of Conservative and Lib Dem ministers, they regularly | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
meet for this thing called coalition r 2.0. The clue is in the | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
name, ministers who would like the coalition to continue after the | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
next election. The last meeting of that, just before the summer, was | :06:29. | :06:38. | |
very rancour res, partly because of the story we broke on Newsnight | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
that Nick Clegg said he wanted to unilaterally kill the childcare | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
ideas. You had an unhappy coalition, such that Conservatives at the | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
dinner said to their Lib Dem counterparts, we don't believe | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
anything you say any more, we think in the future you will go to Labour. | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
The Lib Dems had to remonstrate and say we won't and we have an open | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
mind. The reason I tell this story and it is relevant this is now I | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
gather from very good people, including friends of the Prime | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
Minister, it is being patched up because of Syria. Syria has | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
massively changed the mood between the two guys at the top. That is | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
what made the coalition seem to get the two guys at the top. That is | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
along better, simply over Syria? I think there is for David Cameron | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
and Nick Clegg there has been a realise that Ed Miliband will do | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
what he needs to do politically to get into the best spot. That | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
clarifies what the next coalition negotiations might be like. So | :07:35. | :07:53. | |
worth waiting for? Now in the history of the world, there have | :07:53. | :08:01. | |
been five huge waves of ex tifpbgss, one wiped out dinosaurs and one | :08:01. | :08:09. | |
wiped out 98% of the life on earth. Many think there is a next wave, | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
caused by us. That is if you believe that economic growth and | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
technologies like GM destroy biodiversity and ecosystems. Emma | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
Duncan doesn't believe anything of the sort and believes the green | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
lobby is wrong-headed, she is in the studio as is Craig Bennett, who | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
disagrees. Here is Emma on why we and the world's creatures might not | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
be going to hell in a four-wheel drive. | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
Since man sharpened his first spear he has been killing off other | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
species at an astonishing rate. All the world's continents used to have | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
great beasts like Africa's elephants and Rhinos, in Britain we | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
used to have giant deer with Antlers 12-feet wide. Most | :08:58. | :09:06. | |
scientists believe these huge creatures got wiped out as people | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
spread across the globe and killed them off. Progress and economic | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
growth have allowed mankind to dominate the planet, to the point | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
where we have squeezed out other species. Many environmentalists | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
believe unless we slow growth down and adopt eco friendly technologies, | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
we will condemn more species to extinction. I don't believe that is | :09:29. | :09:37. | |
right. Right now we are at a crucial juncture for other species, | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
the earth has seen five waves of destruction caused by geological | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
events. Now even without climate change damage, scientists think man | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
has pushed the world to the brink of a sixth great extinction. If you | :09:50. | :09:57. | |
look at the underlying rate of current extinctions, I'm inclined | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
to say we are right on the tipping point. The numbers of species going | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
extinct annually could be as few as 200 but as many as well over 10,000. | :10:05. | :10:12. | |
While it is true if there weren't seven billion on the planet, other | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
species would be having a more comfortable time. The problem isn't | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
growth, it is poverty. Look at a satellite map of the island of | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
Hispaniola, the western side is Haiti, where people's average | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
income is $771 a year. It has been striped bear, not surprising, | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
people who can't afford fuel chop trees down. On the eastern side of | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
the island is the Dominican Republic, where the average income | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
is $5,800 a year, it has plenty of forest. Richer countries have | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
better Government, and without a decent Government you can't have | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
conservation work. Richer countries clean up their rivers and their air. | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
Population growth, which is the biggest problem for other species, | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
slows as countries get richer, and people start pressing their | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
Governments for change. That is what happened in the west in the | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
1960s with the formation of groups like Greenpeace, and WWF, that | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
played a large part in the passage of laws, to clean up the | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
played a large part in the passage environment and protect other | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
species. You can see how things have | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
improved in this countries as we have got richer. Our rivers, once | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
little better than open sewer are getting cleaner all the time. You | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
can see the wildlife coming back. 30 years ago there were otters in | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
6% of the sites surveyed by the Environment Agency. In the most | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
recent survey it had spread to 60%. And in China, which has made a huge | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
mess of its environment, National Parks are being create at an | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
astonishing pace. It set up the first one in 1982 and now has | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
three-times the amount of land in National Park as America has. | :11:53. | :12:05. | |
London Zoo is nearly 200 years old. The technological progresses has | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
London Zoo is nearly 200 years old. revolutionised the work of | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
conservationists in recent years. Conservation used to be done mostly | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
by men in shorts with not much more than a pair of binoculars, here it | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
has heavy duty technology at its disposelia. In Brazil | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
environmentalists used NASA site light data to embarrass politicians | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
environmentalists used NASA site into doing something about | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
deforestation. That is one of the main reasons why deforestation in | :12:34. | :12:41. | |
the Brazilian Amazon has fell down to 5,000 square metres last year. | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
Technology has also had a huge impact on agriculture. Fertiliser, | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
pesticides and genetically modified seeds have boosted farm yields. In | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
America, for instance, corn production has increased five-fold | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
over the past 60 years, while the area harvested has increased by | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
only half. With demand for food expected to double by 2050, if we | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
are to leave any land for other species, we have to make farming | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
more intensive still. And use all the tools available to us. This is | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
why a former anti-GM company parts company with those in the green | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
movement, who don't like intensive ago culture, and would prefer we | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
farmed organically. You really have to use twice as much land to | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
produce the same amount of food and crops with organic. If the whole | :13:30. | :13:37. | |
world was to turn organic it would mean essentially destroying all the | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
rainforest to feed the number we have now. Intensive and | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
conventional farming for all of the ills is a very efficient way of | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
using land. The challenge now is to sustainably intensify to produce | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
more food for a growing human population and hopefully a | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
reduction in land area to be prevefrd for natural areas and eek | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
toe-is is emit is. The why -- and ecosystems. The idea | :14:04. | :14:12. | |
here my seem odd. We need to change our thinking about how best to look | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
after other species, if we are going to avoid the sixth great | :14:16. | :14:22. | |
extinction. Emma Duncan and Craig Bennett of Friends of the Earth | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
joins me now. Emma is right in the developed world Governments are | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
responsible, Governments create good policy which reduces, for | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
example, pollution? I think we have seen obviously a strong growth of | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
environmental movement in the seen obviously a strong growth of | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
developed world over the last 40 years which has been really | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
successful in encouraging Government to put in basic | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
pollution controls. We haven't seen any real attempts to make sure that | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
our consumption and lifestyles are sustainable and work within | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
environmental limits. It is wrong to suggest that some how there is | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
not a strong environmental movement in the developing world. Actually | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
Friends of the Earth, we are part of the international group with | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
groups in over 80 countries, most in developing countries. | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
I think that is absolutely right and one of the great developments | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
we are seeing. With economic growth you get the environment getting | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
worse up to a certain point, and then you get things getting better | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
as people get richer. One of the reasons that happens is people | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
start minding about their environment, once they have | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
satisfied their basic needs like food, shelter, education they start | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
caring more about things on a wider basis. | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
All growth is good, let's take the might of dairy farmers in this | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
country. They are going to the wall every single week because cheap | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
milk is brought in from Lithuania and Poland. Is that better for us, | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
that milk is older and the carbon footprint of bringing it in and no | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
sustainable dairy industry. Is that the kind of thing that reduces | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
pollution? You have to look at it on a wider scale and look at what | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
growth brings, it brings sewage systems, poor countries can't | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
afford that. You build a sewage system you clean your rivers up, | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
you start introducing regulation to make the air cleaner because people | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
want cleaner air. Every age people get richer they want their | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
environment cleaned up. I think it is a really old fashioned approach | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
actually to suggest that all that matters is the quantity of growth. | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
And this obsession with how much percentage points of growth we are | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
talking about is very misleading. We need to be having a discussion | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
not so much about the quantity of growth, but the quality of growth. | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
If we left the studio and went and growth, but the quality of growth. | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
smashed a few shop windows, it would add to GDP a tiny bit. It | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
would not add to the quality of people's lives. We need to talk | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
about the purpose of the economy, what is it for, how can it lead to | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
real human progress and make life better on this planet. The | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
scientists have changed their view from anti-GM to say they are good | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
for the planet? A journalist.They feed more people using less | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
territory? Again that's a very forced dichotomy. What we need to | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
do is not think about a reductionist approach about whether | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
this bit of land here is for agriculture and this bit of land | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
for urban areas and this bit for something else. What wf learned | :17:30. | :17:36. | |
over the last few decades is to get multiple uses out of the land. And | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
not to have the agricultural deserts we have in East Anglia, we | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
need to think about biodiversity living in areas where we use axe | :17:46. | :17:54. | |
culture. If you are going to have the organic agriculture that | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
Friends of the Earth want, you will plough up every piece of wild | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
territory on the earth. Isn't the argument the consumption? | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
We have actually got to change our lifestyle, given the fine night | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
resources. There is such a thing as unsustainable growth? If you look | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
at countries that don't have growth you find they destroy their | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
environments much more quickly than those of you that have had growth | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
and have the prosperity. Would you accept that? We have to have a | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
sensible debate about what progress is in the 21st century. Do you | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
accept be you say Friends of the Earth is operating, but do you | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
accept in underdeveloped countries, for whatever reason, that pollution, | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
problems with the environment are much greater than in developed | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
countries? I think it is dangerous to generalise, at the end of the | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
day if you look at one thing, carbon emissions we are worse in | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
this country, developed countries, we are not taking it seriously | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
enough to control those. You can focus on a few hours of pollution | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
control, we are missing the big picture, in climate change it is | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
the richer countries to blame far and away for climate change. Is | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
carbon control a problem? We are not sure how, treem it will be, at | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
the moment we haven't had any temperature increased for the last | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
ten years. The range of estimates of what climate change might be | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
have very, very large. What I do know if we want to decarbonise | :19:23. | :19:31. | |
energy, without growth we won't get that. It is ridiculous to suggest | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
that the environmental lobby is against new technology, we promote | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
it all the time. Let's not have an ideolgical approach to suggest it | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
is all good or all bad. We need a pragmatic approach, some are good | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
and some bad and it depends on the context. Central London was | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
swinging at the start of London Fashion Week, it has late low | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
acquired edge with affects the fashion world's love of finer | :19:55. | :20:03. | |
product dues, cashmere, silk and tweed. The arrival of a clutch of | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
designers known all over the world, happening in le central London. I | :20:08. | :20:16. | |
began not at the catwalk but outside an iconic British store. | :20:16. | :20:25. | |
Who is your favourite British designer? Probably Matthew | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
Williamson. Stella McCartney is good. Christopher Kane.At the | :20:30. | :20:37. | |
moment Victoria Beckham. Young British designers and young | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
British customers are very savvy, you might not be able to afford | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
something from the catwalk collections but they make for the | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
high street. Two collections for Topshop were a | :20:50. | :20:56. | |
sell-out, the best collaboration Topshop had ever done and the | :20:56. | :21:04. | |
customers came back for more. London Fashion Week is open for | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
business, and Newsnight blagged a front row seat. While once London | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
stood in the shadow of New York, Milan and Paris, it is now the big | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
ticket. It is seen as such a creative place and people want to | :21:17. | :21:23. | |
be part of it. Tom Ford, case in point, is based in London. It makes | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
sense for people to be here. Over the next week, when the 58 | :21:26. | :21:33. | |
designers will show off their collections in front of the top | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
journalist, bloggers and buyers, clothes are a serious business. | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
With fashion contributing £21 billion to the economy. According | :21:43. | :21:49. | |
to the British Fashion Council millions of orders will be placed | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
over the next few days. Names like Richard Westley and Burberry will | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
be there, as well as other brands reinventing themselves like Dax. | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
The theme is Made in Britain, and the clamour is led by the younger | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
designers. They manufacture on their doorstep and it is easier, | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
some of the bigger brands are also looking at how they can do more | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
manufacturing in the UK. Made in Britain, designed in Britain does | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
sell. One of the freshest talents to combine British fabrics and | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
sharp tailoring, is Christopher Raeburn. I watched him back stage | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
as he revved up for the show. When I was studying I found there was | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
already something of a loss of skills. In fact it was something | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
that you turn it on the head and you realise it is an obligation as | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
a young designer to continue, to really encourage and inspire | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
manufacturing, the skills that go with it. Clearly my outfit wasn't | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
quite up to scratch. This is a wool mac, this is from the autumn winter | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
collection. It is pure pool and all the production for this is done in | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
East London as well. We are hoping that will keep you nicely protected. | :23:06. | :23:18. | |
The hall of packed and a Hughes sense of anticipation for | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
Christopher Raeburn's first main show. The Business Minister was | :23:21. | :23:31. | |
squashed in between the fashionistas in the front row, the | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
clothes draped beautifully, the models immpossibly elegant and | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
striking, well most of them. In less than 20 minutes it was all | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
over. The fashion writers and buyers will decide if Christopher | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
Raeburn will be next spring's must- have designer. | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
It is amazing what you can do with just 140 characters. Last night in | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
a single tweet Twitter announced the intention to float on the US | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
stock market. The global media frenzy that followed is the | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
clearest possible testament to the unique power of the medium. One man | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
who understands that power more than most is Harper Reid, tech | :24:06. | :24:13. | |
whizz and self-proclaimed cool buy, and the guy who ran the on-line | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
campaign for Barack Obama's re- election last year. Are you first | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
in the queue for Twitter shares? Yeah, maybe, it is such an | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
interesting company because it has powered so many revolutions, real | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
ref lugs and it has changed so many industries -- revolutions and it | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
has changed so many industries. You would want a return on your money? | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
How will they monetise, it there is talk of advertising on Twitter, | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
will it not irritate people. I wonder how they will do it, they | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
produced a company in the US, it is a large advertising network for | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
mobile phones, maybe the advertising is just not on Twitter, | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
but on the general internet or. Of. We will have to wait a see a bit. | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
How do you think Twitter will change and how do you think the way | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
people use Twitter will change? I don't think Twitter will change | :25:10. | :25:17. | |
much. I do think people will be they might react interestingly if | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
Twitter does drastic changes. But Twitter has had had a long time to | :25:21. | :25:23. | |
mess this up and they haven't. I Twitter has had had a long time to | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
don't know why an IPO would be a trigger to cause a problem. So | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
actually they would not want to upset their customers as well as | :25:33. | :25:40. | |
shareholders. Exactly.So you obviously have been the person in a | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
sense who has revolutionised, in American politics, at least, the | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
idea of using the on-line media. You had a team, but you were the | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
guy? I had a team and some really You had a team, but you were the | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
great co-workers that really helped out. You had people from Google and | :25:56. | :26:02. | |
Craig's list, people from everywhere helping you? That whole | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
pour of what is out there, mining data on people. Do you think | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
essentially the Internet is not a place for privacy. The reason I say | :26:10. | :26:20. | |
is I wonder looking at the revealing of certain things lately, | :26:21. | :26:27. | |
Governments all over the world mine our data and others data? It is a | :26:27. | :26:34. | |
hard thing to answer in a way I think I could go on for hours. It | :26:34. | :26:40. | |
is a nuanced situation, on the one hand the goal is to stop terrorism, | :26:40. | :26:46. | |
on the otherhand, I was the guy that had "internet freedom" written | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
on my hand in a photocall. I wonder how we can have both of these | :26:50. | :26:57. | |
things and if we can achieve both of them. With that said the | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
Internet is challenging privacy as we know it, I'm 35 and I think in | :27:02. | :27:09. | |
regards to internet privacy I'm old. When you look at 25-year-olds they | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
use it so differently. When you look at 20 yearled olds they use it | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
different from 25-year-olds, the younger you go, people who grew up | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
with the interin the, their definition of privacy is completely | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
different. Is it good or bad?I don't think we can make a judgment | :27:25. | :27:30. | |
yet, any judgment we would make is using our pasts and lives and | :27:30. | :27:34. | |
understanding that we grew up with to make the judgment. In that case | :27:34. | :27:42. | |
isn't there a universal moral code, but more a gep rationale moral | :27:42. | :27:48. | |
code? It is a paradime shift, we will talk -- Dara dime shift, we | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
code? It is a paradime shift, we will talk about data and it should | :27:52. | :27:57. | |
be secure, another person says the same word and means something | :27:57. | :28:02. | |
different. I don't want to conflate it with NMA thing. Any talk about | :28:02. | :28:09. | |
privacy you have toed accept that young people use the Internet -- | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
you have to accept that young people use the Internet in a | :28:12. | :28:16. | |
different way. If you were working for Barack Obama, the on-line | :28:16. | :28:20. | |
campaign, would some decent on-line campaign have made a difference to | :28:20. | :28:24. | |
him had he been running up to the decision of whether or not to go | :28:24. | :28:30. | |
for military intervention. Would he have been so out of step from the | :28:30. | :28:35. | |
American people if you used your data mining? One thing for | :28:36. | :28:40. | |
Governments, especially those working in social media and use it | :28:40. | :28:45. | |
to listen. I know the White House really puts the ear to the ground | :28:45. | :28:48. | |
and lisenceps to what people are saying. There is a lot of | :28:48. | :28:52. | |
notifications, I got a notification from Twitter and the White House | :28:52. | :28:55. | |
that the President of going to be doing a live address a couple of | :28:55. | :28:59. | |
weeks ago. That is great, but how are they listening? How do the | :28:59. | :29:03. | |
Governments around the world listen? That is the really | :29:03. | :29:07. | |
interesting piece. Will you be back in for whatever candidates they | :29:07. | :29:11. | |
are? They know my number and they should call, we will see how it | :29:11. | :29:16. | |
goes, take some naps, see my wife, that might be fun. | :29:16. | :29:21. | |
Last night we set you the challenge of cracking a secret code at the | :29:21. | :29:25. | |
end of the programme. Well done to Danny for being the first to tweet | :29:25. | :29:34. | |
with the correct answer. We extend the uncoded message to | :29:34. | :29:36. | |
with the correct answer. you all: | :29:36. | :30:02. | |
The Beatles are to release more live performances, 63 track, 37 of | :30:02. | :30:11. | |
them previouslyen released. To get you in the mood here is a rare | :30:11. | :30:15. | |
performance in the Odeon theatre 50 years and 16 days ago. In August | :30:15. | :30:26. | |

# Shake it up baby # Twist and shout | :30:35. | :30:42. | |
# Come on come on come on baby now # Come on and work it all out | :30:42. | :30:49. | |
# Well you twist a little girl | :30:49. | :30:50. |
