Today even as President Obama ordered new limits to US | :00:08. | :00:15. | |
surveillance practice, he was still defending the National Security | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
Agency. It may seem sometimes that America is being held to a different | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
standard. And I will admit the readiness of some to assume the | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
worst motives by our Government can be frustrating. Is it now time to | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
give an amnesty to the man who triggered all of this, Edward | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
Snowden. We will hear from Noam Chomsky, a former head of the Civil | :00:37. | :00:44. | |
Service, and a key person who monitors our terror laws. The riots, | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
why did the Police Complaints Authority falsely claim a victim had | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
shot a policeman, and why did it take so long to detract it. The fact | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
they knew and let the story run for days, should have led to serious | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
resignations. Just how far will people go to get fit in January. Our | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
man, Nimrod Khamer, goes the distance. Good evening. President | :01:08. | :01:20. | |
Obama today made it official, Edward Snowden's revelations about the | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
actions about the National Security Agency have changed US Government | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
policy on surveillance. The President announced changes to the | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
way phone records are collected and also promised that if he wanted to | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
know what world leaders and close friends and allies were thinking he | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
would lift the phone rather than monitor their calls. Has this | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
exposed a deficiency in oversight and surveillance in Britain? | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
President Obama's spying programme has caused shock at home and outrage | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
abroad. He has been under pressure to act ever since Edward Snowden | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
started revealing just how sweeping US surveillance powers have become. | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
Americans are alarmed that the Government's been hoarding | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
information about their phone calls. Allies like Germany's Angela Merkel | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
are infuriated that America has been tapping their calls. But the | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
President is also under pressure from Anne tell begins community | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
warning him not to limit their power. So, which President Obama was | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
at work today? The former constitutional scholar or the | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
Commander-in-Chief? He criticised Edward Snowden for aiding America's | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
adversaries, but said he didn't want to dwell on Snowden's actions. | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
Regardless of how we got here though, the task before us now is | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
greater than simply repairing the damage done to our operations or | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
preventing more disclosures from taking place in the future. Instead | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
we have to make some important decisions about how to protect | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
ourselves and sustain our leadership in the world while upholding the | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
civil liberties and privacy protections that our ideals and | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
constitution require. The President stopped short to demanding an end to | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
the bulk collection of American phone data. What he did promise was | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
to stop the National Security Agency from holding phone records. But | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
where they will be stored is up for consultation. It means the agencies | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
will have to get permission from a secret intelligence court to access | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
the data. And there's to be a public advocate to represent privacy | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
concerns in those courts. He's also restricting America's ability to spy | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
on foreign leaders. I thought it was a remarkably good speech and well | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
balanced. Of course it won't please people, the most vehement critics on | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
either side, but you never can. I think he has displayed an enormous | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
growth of understanding of what intelligence agencies do and why | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
they are important in the time he has been in office. You know when | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
you actually are responsible for protecting people you behave | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
differently than when all you have to do is talk about T he's | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
responsible now. Today there were yet more leaks from Edward Snowden. | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
This time concerning an NSA programme called Dishfire, documents | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
seen by the Guardian and Channel four News reveal that the NHS has | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
collected 200 million text messages a day from around the world. | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
Apparently enabling the agency to track people's where abouts, | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
contacts and bank details. According to the reports, GCHQ is also able to | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
access the database and to access information they wouldn't normally | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
be legally entitled to see. So do these revelations mean it is time | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
that the Government here followed President Obama's lead and | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
introduced new checks on the country's spies. Ministers refuse to | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
comment on the details. The Foreign Secretary said he had seen no | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
evidence of breaches of individuals' privacy, but there are calls for a | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
review of the law. GCHQ contends and indeed the Foreign Secretary has | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
confirmed it already today that it has always acting within a proper, | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
legal framework. That being so, the question for us now is whether that | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
legal framework is adequate to take account of the enormous | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
technological change which has taken place since the present legislation | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
of put in place. My God bless the United States of America. Thank you. | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
President Obama was determined not to give Edward Snowden any credit | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
today. But would the President even have made this speech if it hadn't | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
been for Snowden's revelations. Many say not. They think it is time this | :05:44. | :05:51. | |
exiled spy was given amnesty. I spoke to MIT professor, Noam | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
Chomsky, earlier this evening, who is a supporter of Edward Snowden. I | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
asked him whether he thought the whistleblower's actions have had an | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
influence on foreign policy? Not foreign policy except indirectly, | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
they have had a major impact on public awareness and opinion. They | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
have led to the exposure of many, actually literally falsehoods about | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
the nature of the policy and what it is alleged to have achieved. You | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
have called for an amnesty for Edward Snowden, but President Obama | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
made it pretty clear in his speech today that he thinks that the | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
actions of Edward Snowden will have some far reaching consequences in | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
relation to your adversaries, that may not be known for many years. I | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
have gone along with the amnesty proposals but I don't think I agree | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
with them. I think he should be honoured for what he did. We might | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
ask for amnesty for the various people engaged in major war crimes, | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
could easily name some, but you don't give amnesty to someone who | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
has done the right thing. You praise him for it. Will we know in several | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
years that there are negative consequences? President Obama | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
doesn't know any more about that than I do. Realistically there is | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
absolutely, I would have thought, no chance of Edward Snowden being | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
honoured. But on the other side, do you think there is a chance that he | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
will have to live out his days in Russia? Well, his coming To the end | :07:25. | :07:36. | |
of his Russian visa soon, we don't know what will happen then. There | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
might be other countries that might be willing to accept him, maybe | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
Brazil. It is pretty clear that most of the world is pretty frightened of | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
the United States. That became very obvious in the scandalous case of | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
the Ava Morales presidential plane travelling back to from Russia, | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
where European countries wouldn't allow the plane to enter their | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
airspace, no doubt out of fear of the United States. Which is a | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
vindictive power. It has made it clear at the highest level that they | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
are going to do anything they can to get hold of him. Noam Chomsky. Well | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
Lord Butler butt, the former Cabinet Secretary, chaired an inquiry into | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
the use of intelligence in the lead up to the Iraq War, and now sits on | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
the Intelligence and Security Committee. David Anderson QC is the | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
independent reviewer of terrorism legislation and they are with me | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
now. Edward Snowden has done the world a service, President Obama, as | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
good as admitted it in the fact that they are changing the law? If all he | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
had done was to draw attention to the capabilities of the intelligence | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
agencies and started a debate, yes, I think that is a service. It could | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
have happened before because actually these things had been | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
debated in parliament. What he has done is drawn attention to it. What | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
he did was to download many thousands of actual intelligence | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
reports and go off to Russia and China with them. We don't know that | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
anything adverse has happened as a result of that to US citizen, | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
British citizens or anybody, we don't know anything? We don't know, | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
but I don't think you will find the Russians and the Chinese haven't | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
studied these carefully or terrorists haven't studied these | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
carefully. Noam Chomsky said that you he would like to see him | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
honoured, that won't happen I don't think. What about an amnesty? I | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
think it is very important that in any organisation for people who come | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
across genuine criminality they should have the opportunity to blow | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
the whistle. I believe actually there are procedures in our | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
intelligence agencies that allow that to happen. What we can't end up | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
with, it seems to me, is a situation in which the likes of Mr Snowden or | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
indeed the editor of the Guardian, are the people who are ultimately | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
determining what it is the public can see and what is too secret for | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
them to see because of the damage caused to national security. You | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
think he should be charged? That is for the Americans, I don't want to | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
get in to what should happen to Mr Snowden. President Obama is making | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
clear that in a time of rapidly changing technology then privacy and | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
civil liberties have to be protected. Let's look at your | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
Intelligence Security Committee, when MI5, MI6 and GCHQ came in front | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
of your committee for the first time, they knew what the questions | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
were, why should the public have faith in that? It was the first time | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
they had come in front of us in public. They knew the general | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
subjects, but actually I thought some interesting things came out of | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
that. They knew the territory, they knew the questions? It hadn't been | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
rehearsed. No. One of the interesting things that came out was | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
that they said they got actual evidence of the way in which | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
terrorists on the basis of what Edward Snowden had revealed were | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
changing their habits. They say that, but why should the public have | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
any faith, if you are going to say you are putting the MI5 and MI6 and | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
GCHQ in front of a committee on accountability and you tell them | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
what they will be asked, where is the faith in that? It was good they | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
came before the committee. Part of this is the intelligence agencies | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
themselves showing a bit more transparency. Should they? I think | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
they should. So far as the Intelligence and Security Committee | :11:19. | :11:20. | |
is concerned, it is facing a real test. It has produced two reports in | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
recent years that I think people have perceived as underwhelming. One | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
on rendition, where I don't think they got to the bottom of t and one | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
on 7/7, where the inquest showed there were some things they missed. | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
They have an extraordinary triple now, they have got the investigation | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
of Woolich, that is a detailed one. They have got the whole | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
investigation of surveillance and the balance between liberty and | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
security, to top that off they have also now got the againson Inquiry | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
into possible complicity in torture. Those are all huge jobs. The members | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
of the Intelligence and Security Committee have other things do, | :11:57. | :11:58. | |
constituencies and parliamentary activities. I hope they are | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
resourced to do that. Interesting, you have been underwhelming? I can't | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
speak for previous committees. Have you got too much on your plate? We | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
have a great deal on our plate. Is it too much? Time will tell. We are | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
just finishing the Woolich inquiry, we have asked for evidence on the | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
Snowden relations and the balance between liberty and security. We're | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
taking on the staff that were serving the againson committee, we | :12:28. | :12:35. | |
will have extra staff -- Gibson committee. | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
The allegations about Dishfire, we know that it is incredibly complex, | :12:41. | :12:48. | |
the allegation is that GCHQ have circumvented UK laws by taking these | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
200 million texts daily, stored in the US. Our spies have accessed this | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
stuff which is essentially against British law. Do they have access to | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
Dishfire? I can't comment on that. Are you concerned about that? We | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
will look at it, we look at all these things. But what I can remind | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
you of is that during the summer it was said that GCHQ had evaded the | :13:12. | :13:18. | |
law by using Prism. We did look into that, and every case in which the | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
GCHQ had asked for information from NSA through Prism, there was a | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
proper warrant for it. We confirmed that. So they had always acted | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
within the law. Now these allegations today, I don't know, but | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
we will look into it. As a matter of urgency? Well yeah, of course. But | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
the problem with that is we actually don't know. If GCHQ is acting, as it | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
were, outside the law, we don't know. Are you concerned about that? | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
I think everybody should be concerned. I think equally they will | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
be wrong to think that we're dealing here with organisations that are out | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
of control. We don't just rely on the Intelligence and Security | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
Committee. We also have two intelligence commissioners who are | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
formidable former Court of Appeal judges who have quite respective | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
low-sized staffs and who spend quite a lot of their time looking into the | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
activities of GCHQ and other agencies, and coming to their own | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
conclusion that is they publish, and very few people read. Thank you very | :14:22. | :14:22. | |
much. Today the family of Mark Duggan, | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
shot dead by police in north London in 2011 received an apology from the | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
Independent Police Complaints Commisssion. The police watchdog | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
said it had wrongly told the media that he had fired at the police | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
before he was shot. In a damning admission, the IPCC said it knew | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
that the Duggan family's confidence in the commission and investigation | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
was damaged by mistakes made at an early stage. Where did the IPCC put | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
out than I correct information and why didn't it correct the record as | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
soon as it realised it was wrong. Here is Jim Reid. | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
His death sparked the worst riots in a generation. Last week a court | :15:05. | :15:12. | |
found police acted within the law when they shot and killed Mark | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
Duggan. But serious questions remain about the way the authorities | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
handled this case. Today the police watchdog, the IPCC, apologised to | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
the Duggan family for putting out misleading information in the | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
aftermath of the shooting. That information continuity out not just | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
-- turned Knott -- turned out not just to be false but inflammatory. | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
To look at the significance you have to look at the way events unfolded. | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
Mark Duggan was shot dead at six. 15pm on August fourth. A police | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
officer was taken to hospital after a bullet was found stuck in his | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
radio. Almost immediately the police watchdog was called to investigate. | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
The press started to call about the story. A late night spokesman at the | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
IPCC told the reporter that they didn't know the order in which the | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
shots were fired. We understand the officer was shot first before the | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
male was shot. A clear impression was given that gunfire had been | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
exchanged that evening. That a shoot out of some kind had taken place on | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
the streets of Tottenham. One of the reporters given that information was | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
from the Press Association, the news agency whose material is then sent | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
on to every broadcaster and newspaper in the country. The same | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
news was flashed up on 24-hour TV channel, that worried IPCC | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
investigator Colin Sparrow, at the firearms unit HQ in Whitechapel East | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
London. He told The next day the ballistics came | :16:44. | :17:16. | |
out. The bullet in the radio was a police bullet, not from the gun of | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
Mark Duggan, there was no dramatic firefight. But nothing was done to | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
correct the false impression there was a shoot out that night. Some | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
newspapers continued to say there had been. That afternoon Mark | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
Duggan's family and supporters walked to Tottenham Police Station | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
to protest peacefully. To put out all this misinformation, to put out | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
this idea that there was a shoot out when there absolutely wasn't a shoot | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
out and they knew. To refusing to to the family home to inform them. | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
These are the only reasons and sole reasons we went to Tottenham Police | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
Station, had they done the things they were supposed to have done we | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
wouldn't have gone there. Tottenham, there wouldn't have been a riot | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
there, and I would imagine there wouldn't have been riots in all | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
those other areas of London where there were riots. As riots took hold | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
across England the IPCC decided not to correct the full story of a shoot | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
out. It took another three days until the watchdog released the | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
results of those ballistic tests. The fact that they knew and let the | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
story persist should have led to resignations, seems to me. There are | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
two roles for IPCC in statute, one is police scrutiny and the other is | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
public guardianship, on both counts they failed. So, if the police | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
watchdog knew something was wrong, knew that false and inflammatory | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
information was still being reported, why didn't it do something | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
about it? Well, on Sunday August seventh after the first night of | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
rioting, it did issue a statement, warning people to ignore rumours | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
that Mark Duggan had been executed by police. But it didn't even | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
mention those false reports of a firefight. The IPCC has told | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
Newsnight it didn't want the results of those ballistics tests to be made | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
public until its own investigators could take evidence from the | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
firearms officers involved. That same afternoon 11 members of the | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
Met's elite CO-19 team sat together in a room for eight hours before | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
giving written statements, something allowed under the current | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
guidelines. The officers involved have always denied they broke any | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
rules or colluded inappropriately. It is a concern that has been raised | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
before. Most notably after the shooting of Jean Charles DeMenezes. | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
I think we need a team of investigative lawyers leading | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
investigations. We need an Independent Police Complaints | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
Commisssion that is more like the Crown Prosecution Service, only that | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
can get confidence back. Today the IPCC said armed police should be | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
separated after a shooting and banned from conferring. Officers | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
involved in the Duggan case, will also be told to answer the | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
watchdog's questions at an interview, something they have so | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
far refused to do. We asked the IPCC to come on to Newsnight tonight, but | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
they said they cannot be interviewed by the shooting of Mark Duggan, | :20:13. | :20:20. | |
until their own investigation is complete. Jeremy Clarkson is a | :20:21. | :20:27. | |
notorious and prodigious tweeter, more than two million people follow | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
him on-line. Many will see the photo of him seemingly asleep on the | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
plane, surrounded by Top Gear colleagues, next to a piece of paper | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
with a message scrawled on it, which some would find offensive. "Sadly I | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
fell asleep on the plane" when the image was shared on-line. He later | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
deleted the tweet and wanted to apologise to anyone who was upset by | :20:56. | :21:05. | |
the tweet. Joining me is the rugby player turned Strictly star and | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
anti-bullying campaigner. You have seen the picture, what do you think | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
of it? Initially I was shocked at the word "gay" used in an offensive | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
manner. The horrible swear word offensive to women any way. It was | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
disappointing to see that. Again you know, we know that Clarkson is very | :21:24. | :21:33. | |
close to the bone in the stuff he Does. And the power of social media | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
and why we are here talking about it. He has to be a role model and | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
can't be seen to be doing the wrong thing. Personally I think we need to | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
educate the next beginlation to understand what gay means, and not | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
in a casual homophobic way with him sleeping on a plane alongside | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
offensive wear words. Again, he's in the public eye, on one of the | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
biggest TV shows in England with Top Gear. You know, it is a shame that | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
you know it has come to this point of him being smeared across the | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
papers. But I think that personally he has afollow -- apologised, and | :22:14. | :22:23. | |
how can we draw the positives out in some respects and use what he has | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
done to educate people about it and say he has done wrong and apologised | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
and taken it off Twitter. Now we need to use that and say that's not | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
acceptable in a social media environment. It wasn't exactly a | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
fulsome apology. What I wonder is you are very acutely aware of | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
bullying, I wondered if you were the son of a father who was a big Top | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
Gear fan and you saw that, and you were a son that was gay and perhaps | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
hadn't come out. What impact a tweet like that would have. Clarkson's | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
followers are also kids? Yeah, absolutely. You know not only in | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
this country, you know Top Gear is global. Ultimately you know the word | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
"gay" at the moment, especially in playgrounds is used in casual way, | :23:14. | :23:21. | |
casual homophobia in playgrounds is rife, it can be "faggot", "homo" or | :23:22. | :23:30. | |
"gay". If you are the father of a child in the closet or mother, one | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
you probably might not know, for that reason, when that child might | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
not want to come out and think actually if I come out what will I | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
be subjected to. If it all right to see star on TV doing that, he's | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
portraying that is OK and perreceiving that is OK. It is the | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
knock-on effects it has. Bearing in mind we have come a long way. 20 | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
years ago it was racism and it has taken that next generation to drive | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
a cultural change. Homophobia is where racism was 20 years ago. There | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
is a lot of work to be done. And it does start by educating the next | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
generation of youngsters. That is how I perceive it. Do you think he | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
should do a bit of penance? I can't hear you. Do you think he should do | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
penance? I can't hear you, sorry, good night. | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
We wanted to talk to Jeremy Clarkson tonight but we were unable to | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
contact him. January is traditionally the month | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
when people sometimes make rash decisions to go dry, go low-carb, | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
get fit fast. The Sunday supplements are full of fitness programmes | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
promising to change your life and the clothes and gears to go with it. | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
The new fad is Extreme Fittness, we sent Nimrod Khamer out to look at | :24:44. | :24:52. | |
four of the latest crazes. Hydrospining, which combines cycling | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
and swimming is huge in France, and only just now arrived in the UK. I | :24:57. | :25:09. | |
went to check it out. The resistance is 12-times higher than with air, | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
because you are inside the water. So you burn much more calories, now you | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
are inside the water, I want you to go much quicker. Go on. She gave me | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
a challenge to hit the record speed of 60 kms per hour. I'm not sure you | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
have the perfect position. It was a little bit tougher than I thought. | :25:30. | :25:39. | |
40. 50 if you want to challenge. You want to maybe film the numbers! | :25:40. | :25:50. | |
After all that exercise, I needed something less strenuous and more | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
relaxing, like yoga with your dog. Doga! So the dog was chosen because | :25:57. | :26:04. | |
he is the most comfortable? He's man's best friend and they like to | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
be touched and they are very complimentry to the owner. This is | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
the breed that I -- breathing that I use. You have to lift your eyes and | :26:15. | :26:26. | |
go "hah", "hah". Lift him up. : I'm not going to lie it was weird and it | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
got even weirder. Row, row, row the boat | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
# Gently down the stream... . What are you doing with your feet | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
Breathe into your waistline. Use that breath. Just stay still, let's | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
do it again, I'm going to give you a little squash and we're going to | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
breathe together. Breathe, push your hips up. Inhale! Lift up, lift up, | :26:52. | :26:59. | |
lift up. There, push into your arms, straighten t arms. I had a good | :27:00. | :27:07. | |
time, but my sternest test was still to come. | :27:08. | :27:20. | |
I went to a session called Vikings and Valkaries, designed to separate | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
the men from the boys. Take it up with momentum push. Down, down, | :27:27. | :27:41. | |
down. Try the technique. Just pretend I'm wrecking it. You have to | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
grab both hands. We have some big kit and see great results for people | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
who come not being able to lift the tyre within an inch, and within a | :27:50. | :27:53. | |
few weeks they are flipping it five or six times up and down the track. | :27:54. | :28:08. | |
Heave, heave. Heave. I had held my own against some seriously big guy, | :28:09. | :28:13. | |
but wanted to try something more cardiovascular. The new tip after | :28:14. | :28:24. | |
work activity all Overgrown town, is exercise and raving, Raveosise. She | :28:25. | :28:34. | |
showed us the move and we had to copy her. There is no alcohol, it is | :28:35. | :28:44. | |
healthy and it is a fun thing to do after work and it gets you fit | :28:45. | :28:49. | |
really. I had loads of fun, but after a long day of extreme exercise | :28:50. | :28:57. | |
I felt raved out. But I guess that's the point. Nimrod Khamer, clearly | :28:58. | :29:05. | |
loved Doga the best. Tomorrow morning's front | :29:06. | :29:40. | |
25 leading charities urge David Cameron to open Britain's doors to | :29:41. | :29:45. | |
its share of the most vulnerable refugees. And finally on the | :29:46. | :30:15. | |
That's it for tonight. Jeremy back on Monday. We leave you the work of | :30:16. | :30:24. | |
the University of Queensland's Global University Institute, they | :30:25. | :30:30. | |
spent years filming coral and then speeding the images | :30:31. | :31:32. | |
Good evening, today's heavy showers have cleared away, | :31:33. | :31:33. |
