Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source. | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
And our international news from the BBC newsroom. | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
We'll start with an opposition protest in Venezuela. | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
There's been a few of them in the last few months | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
The country is in the midst of an extreme economic crisis. | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
Also our business editor Simon Jack is here to talk | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
He's given his first interview after the EU decision that it should | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
pay back billions of euros of tax to the Irish government. | :00:37. | :00:43. | |
This burst the first British Airways flight to Iran in ten years is | :00:44. | :00:51. | |
taking off. -- the first British flight. | :00:52. | :00:52. | |
This is Cape Canaveral spaceport in Florida. | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
No one was injured but nonetheless raises questions about safety | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
Over 12 million kids went back to school. Unfortunately over the | :00:59. | :01:11. | |
summer holidays things have changed, they are coming back to the | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
increased security and drills, some of which will recreate a terror | :01:17. | :01:17. | |
attack. A vast opposition protest | :01:18. | :01:32. | |
is happening right now. Opposition groups are calling it | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
the Takeover of Caracas. When you see these pictures from | :01:37. | :01:49. | |
earlier it seems like a reasonable description. Hundreds of thousands | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
of people have turned out. This isn't the only rally going on. The | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
president and his supporters have also turned out in force to put a | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
counterargument about the causes of the economic strife Venezuelans are | :02:04. | :02:11. | |
experiencing. Both sides are angry. The anger comes from this severe | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
economic crisis. The failing economy is in trouble because of the price | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
of oil. Yesterday we talked about Nigeria and the impact low oil | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
prices are having there. The same is true in Venezuela, it's causing food | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
shortages and power outages. Hannah Dreier is a pea's correspondent in | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
Caracas. This is how she describes daily life. Every J I check to see | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
if I have water. Usually I don't. People are learning to live in the | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
dark with regular power cuts. I haven't seen sugar, milk, flower or | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
toilet paper on the shelves of a normal grocery store. For maybe a | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
year. It's become one of the most violent cities in the world. Today's | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
going to be unusual. Usually people don't like to be outdoors if they | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
can help it because you might get mugged, kidnapped. It's dangerous. | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
People spend an average of 35 hours a month just waiting in line trying | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
to get something to feed their children. If they're not doing that | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
they might be sleeping because people don't want to waste calories. | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
They might be working on a few jobs and driving a taxi. People are | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
really just struggling to make its day-to-day. The goal of the | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
anti-government protesters is to apply pressure to the authorities to | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
hold what's called recall referendum. The purpose of that from | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
the point of view of the opposition would be to oust President Nicolas | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
Maduro. For his part, he is accusing the opposition of trying to mount a | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
coup. Interesting choice of word, the same word used by Dilma Rousseff | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
to describe her being stripped of the presidency in Brazil. Venezuela | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
is a major oil exporter, it's been hit by falling oil prices. Let's | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
learn more about what's happening. Yolanda Valerie from BBC Mundo can | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
tell us. Never has there been such an amount of money going into | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
Venezuela, as it were. The opposition and people not happy with | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
the government say, whatever happened to that huge amount of | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
money? It's been calculated it is about 10-15 times any money | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
Venezuelan has ever received from oil. The government could have taken | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
that money and sorted out the structure of the country. They | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
didn't. Now it's in a situation where circumstantial problems are | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
bad. This referendum on whether the president should stay, who decides | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
whether it'll happen? There is a huge ... They need to gather 3 | :04:53. | :05:03. | |
million signatures by Venezuelans, each one of them needs to be checked | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
by the council. If they are happy that the signatures are OK. Then the | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
whole referendum mechanism starts. It can take a long time. They say | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
they won't authorise the opposition to go and get that those images | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
until the end of October. You used to be based in Venezuela and | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
reported on your country for the BBC, how would you compare this | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
political and economic crisis with others you've seen in the past? To | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
be absolutely honest with you there has been nothing like this, like it | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
is now. I was there last June and couldn't believe my eyes, I'd never | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
seen a country like that. The crisis is really deep, it's going down to | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
people not finding food, that's how bad it is, the most basic thing. | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
Somebody asked me, when our Venezuelans going to react? If they | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
don't have food what can be taken away from them? I had no answer for | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
that. It's true the country is in a shape its never seen before. | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
Coverage of that story in English on the BBC News app and in Spanish on | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
BBC Mundo .com. The latest instalment of Apple versus the | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
European Union. Earlier in the week the EU said Apple had to hand over | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
13 billion euros in back tax to Ireland. Apple's boss is Tim cook, | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
he's given his first interview on the subject and it's reasonable to | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
say he's not happy. Here he is on Irish broadcaster RTP. It's | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
maddening. It's maddening and disappointing. -- RTD. | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
It clear this comes from a political place. It has no basis in fact or in | :06:42. | :06:50. | |
law. Unfortunately, it's one of those things we have to work | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
through. When you're accused of doing something that is so foreign | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
to your values, it brings out an outrage in you. That is the Apple | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
perspective. The EU Commissioner responsible for the ruling has | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
responded. She says this is a decision based on the fact of the | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
case. Neither side is budging. The reason Ireland in the middle of all | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
of this is that apple's European headquarters are in court in the | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
South of Ireland. The Irish government doesn't want this money | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
from Apple by the way, because Ireland's corporation tax is | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
relatively low, 12.5%. The government believes the benefits | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
that low rate brings in terms of attracting big businesses outweigh | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
lower tax income. The thing is, the accusation from the EU, is that the | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
top 12 Bridge Mark Addy top isn't being paid by Apple. Tim cook, | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
though, says this is false. Evidently we need some help sifting | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
through all of this. You might remember during the Brexit campaign | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
the BBC had the reality check service to look at what politicians | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
were saying, and came back to us to tell us whether it was reliable, I'm | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
trying to use business editor Simon Jack in a similar way, to establish | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
what is right, and what is wrong in this argument. Apple says it paid | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
$400 million of tax to Ireland. It sounds like a lot of money but it | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
includes other taxes like income tax. If it wasn't so much the money | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
being in Ireland, this is money being made in the European Union and | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
beyond, which is being funnelled towards Ireland and basically pay | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
and no tax at all. This money ended up in accounts which had no taxable | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
jurisdiction anywhere on Earth. This money might as well have been in | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
outer space. What people are wondering is who was responsible for | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
taxing this? The Irish government say, it's not our job to be the | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
world's International tax policeman, collecting taxes on behalf of other | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
countries. The European Commission say it is domiciled in your country, | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
you have some responsibility to collect the tax. We have this | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
stand-off. Quite a personal sense of outrage you heard from Tim cook, | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
maddened, a defiant response to say we haven't done anything wrong. He | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
knows this could be a long, drawn-out dispute. He said we | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
haven't done anything wrong, the government of Ireland hasn't done | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
anything wrong. Through the last 37 years Apple and Ireland have been | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
through thick and thin together, appealing to the Irish vote. He said | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
he was going to repatriate some of the money to the US next year. It | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
throw a bone to US lawmakers who say if anyone around here is owed back | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
taxes, it's us. Who decides who is right? There'll be an appeal, the | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
Irish government have two one half months to appeal to the European | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
Court of Justice. Having said initially they were definitely going | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
to appeal this decision because it wasn't their job and they demand the | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
money, cracks have begun to appear in the coalition, the government | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
coalition, saying it's an awful lot of money, who doesn't want 13 | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
billion euros? This could do a lot of good. They had a cabinet meeting | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
yesterday where they couldn't decide how they would respond. They'll have | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
another one tomorrow. Cracks beginning to appear in the Irish | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
government position. Interesting he was just giving a legal response, | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
but a response, Tim Cook. The level of tax paid by the company 's | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
depends on what kind of company they want to be. He said he sent a sense | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
of personal outrage. Many people watching will feel outrage you can | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
make hundreds of billions of dollars which aren't taxed anywhere in the | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
world. They say, look, it's not our job to clear up the International | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
tax mess. What American authorities have been saying is some progress | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
has been made by the OECD to stop this happening. What we don't need | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
is the EU, which they think is getting too big for its boots, | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
jumping in here and taking unilateral action which they say | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
setback this collaborative approach, to clear up who pays what tax, when | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
you have big multinationals like this. If you are a regular outside | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
source viewer, you know I can access any information coming from the BBC | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
newsroom, social media, live feeds, stills of any story is developing. | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
We can access any wire copy coming in from the various news agencies. | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
Update you on what's been happening in New Zealand, developing in the | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
past few hours. Evacuations are underway because of a powerful 7.1 | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
magnitude earthquake, which struck, as you can see from this copy, | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
before dawn. We know this happens off the east coast of the North | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
Island. If we go in closer we can see we've marked a place, Gisborne, | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
the closest city to the epicentre. The epicentre was 170 kilometres off | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
the coast. Plenty advice being sent to New Zealanders. | :11:58. | :12:08. | |
Even as far away as Auckland there is concern. | :12:09. | :12:19. | |
We'll keep an eye on that. No sign of a tsunami at the moment, but the | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
warning remains in place. In a few minutes we'll turn to France with | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
the help of Hugh Scofield because today millions of French | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
schoolchildren went back to school and have been greeted by much more | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
stringent security measures. And plans for drills. Teaching very | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
young children about what to do during a terror attack. We'll get | :12:45. | :12:45. | |
you more details on that. Junior doctors plan to work out on | :12:46. | :12:59. | |
three more five-day strike between now and Christmas. On top of the | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
strike already announced this month. It comes after Prime Minister | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
Theresa May attacked the British Medical Association accusing them of | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
playing politics rather than putting patients first. We've got record | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
levels of funding in the NHS, we've got more doctors now in the NHS than | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
we've seen in its history. This is a deal safer patients. The government | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
is putting patients first. The BMA should be putting patients first, | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
not playing politics. We're not playing politics with junior doctors | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
or patients. This contract has been rejected by junior doctors, they've | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
rejected it because they have no faith in it, they could not accept a | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
contract that discriminate against carers, against parents, doctors | :13:47. | :13:48. | |
with disabilities. As usual we live in the BBC newsroom | :13:49. | :14:05. | |
with outside source, the lead story coming from South America. A huge | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
opposition demonstration in Venezuela. A serious economic crisis | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
there. The people you can see on the street are blaming the government | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
for it. That bring some of the main story is being covered by BBC World | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
Service. A law comes into effect today in the German state of Bavaria | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
allowing authorities to tell new refugees where to live. All refugees | :14:27. | :14:33. | |
dependent on state for benefits and housing will be allocated a town | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
where they must settle for up to three years. BBC World Service radio | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
is carrying the story. A ceasefire in Ukraine which began midnight | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
local time has so far held by the first time in nearly a year there | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
has been a proper hole in shelling between Ukrainian troops and | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
separatists backed by Russia, as we'd expect. BBC Ukrainian and | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
Russian are covering that. Australian police have captured this | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
enormous crocodile. 3.4 metres long. It had been eating nearby livestock, | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
put up a struggle, but was eventually subdued with the help of | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
a veteran wrangler. The crocodile is now spending time in a nearby | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
crocodile farm, you can watch the full video through the BBC news app. | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
In Florida earlier a rocket exploded during a test. This is the moment it | :15:22. | :15:34. | |
happened. The explosion was so strong it shook several buildings | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
kilometres away. When you see the pictures it's not hard to imagine | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
that happening. Space X started putting up communications including | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
this tweet. It's described this morning's anomaly and told us there | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
weren't any injuries. Anomaly is one word, setback would be another. | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
Space X was planning to go ahead with an unmanned rocket launch this | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
weekend at the same location, Cape Canaveral in Florida. It happened on | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
space launch pad 20 of the complex. Space X has been pushing hard to | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
develop a number of different technologies, reusable rocket is | :16:14. | :16:15. | |
where rockets go to space, come back down and are used again. Affordable, | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
I use that in inverted commas, private space travel. This will not | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
have helped those efforts. I've been talking to Jonathan Amos about the | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
story, particularly about what exactly happened here. It's normal | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
for space X ahead of the launch to hold the rocket on the launch pad | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
and fire up the engines for a few seconds to check all engines are | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
working normally. If seem OK, they give the launch in the next few days | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
the go-ahead to fly. Clearly something went spectacularly wrong. | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
It's not clear to me at the moment whether the explosion happened | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
during that firing or just prior to it. There was a lot of flammable | :16:58. | :17:05. | |
liquid going into the rocket. It's driven off liquid kerosene and | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
oxygen. Bring them together and it's a combustible combination as you | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
would expect for a rocket. As we saw from the smoke moving across the | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
Cape, it was a big explosion, quite a lot of damage to the pad. Space X | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
had other problems with those reusable rockets failing to hit... | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
They're innovating. How much of a setback is this? Is it inevitable as | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
a company pushes the boundaries? It's not easy, this is a company | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
that likes to innovate, it's difficult to run a routine operation | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
and innovate at the same time, one of the criticisms some of the other | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
companies level apps basics. If the accident they had in June 2015 is | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
anything to go by, they lost a Falcon rocket in flight, it broke up | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
two minutes after launch, the company parked all of its future | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
plans for a few months while it got everybody in the company to focus on | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
the issues that went wrong on that flight. So they could get the Falcon | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
back in the air again. I'm sure that's what Elon musk will do. He's | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
got his fingers in a few pies, he's running the Tesla motor company. | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
He's got another renewables company. He's opened this enormous battery | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
factory in the south-west United States. He must be running backwards | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
and forwards with all of these companies trying to push them | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
forward. That's why he has attracted the attention he has come he's a | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
charismatic figure, he likes to introduce new things. People sit up | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
and take notice. In the last 20 minutes the first British Airways | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
flight from the UK to Iran in nine years has taken off. This is another | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
step in the opening up of relations between Iran and much of the rest of | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
the world since the nuclear deal last year. In particular the lifting | :18:58. | :19:05. | |
of international sanctions. A correspondent from BBC Persian has | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
been explaining who might make the most of these flights. The majority | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
are visiting in Iran are not necessarily Europeans and North | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
Americans, usually people from places like Iraq who come for | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
religious purposes and visit holy cities. With bringing a new route to | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
Iran to British Airways, there will be a possibility of more Europeans | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
and North Americans visiting Iran. It's a beautiful country, there are | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
a lot of places to visit, but it has its own difficulties. It's a dry | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
country, not your typical holiday if you want to go somewhere like | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
Cyprus, it's not going to be like that, it's quite exotic, if you | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
like. Is it expected other carriers will fly from elsewhere in Europe | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
and North America? Earlier this year we saw Air France has started to | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
resume its flights to Iran and KLM is expressing interest. We think in | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
October they will release flights. British Airways is significant | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
because it's quite a big aeroplane. My guess is they are probably | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
banking on getting a lot of Iranians who want to fly to North America, | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
Canada, and the United States. That is probably why they are thinking | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
the market can potentially be to their benefit. Four years ago when | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
BMR used to fly to Iran it was only three flights a week. From Iran to | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
Malaysian. We learnt a US lawsuit is seeking billions of dollars of | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
assets in Malaysia, it involves its Prime Minister. It mentions an | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
unnamed official, a government minister has confirmed it is the | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
Prime Minister. I'll let our correspondent pick up the story. | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
Frustration is rising on the streets of Malaysia. This was the first | :20:48. | :20:56. | |
rally since the Department of Justice filing its... Protesters | :20:57. | :21:06. | |
called for the arrest of a Malaysian official alleged to have received | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
some of the money. It is widely understood that Embolo what is the | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
Prime Minister, Najib Razak. He has denied any wrongdoing. Many people | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
have told me they want Prime Minister Najib Razak to step down. | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
They say even if he wasn't named in the lawsuit, the fiasco happened | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
under his watch. Members of Parliament are behind him 100%. Now | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
a senior minister in his Cabinet has confirmed to the BBC Malaysian | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
official one is the Prime Minister. But says not guilty. You're saying | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
Malaysian official number one is the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Najib | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
Razak? While I agree Embolo one is the Prime Minister... The fact of | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
the matter is the Department of Justice did not name him directly. | :21:56. | :22:07. | |
-- MO1 is the Prime Minister. He was in charge, this happened under his | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
watch. Shouldn't he take responsibility? Yes, he took | :22:11. | :22:19. | |
responsibility by ensuring that it's on the right path. To say some NGO, | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
some opposition, is against the Prime Minister, and asking the Prime | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
Minister to vacate his position, to step down, I think is a bit too | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
much. A former Prime Minister is calling for Najib Razak to step down | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
but the government says he's using this scandal against Najib Razak for | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
his own personal gain and isn't without fault. I admit there is some | :22:45. | :22:53. | |
corruption in my stuff. Not me. During my time we don't have | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
corruption on this scale involving the Prime Minister himself and | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
involving some described by the US as the biggest fraud and | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
money-laundering that they have in their case. Now, the fight is going | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
to Malaysian's villages, where the bulk of voters live. The opposition | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
is on tour to explain the scale of the fraud. With elections expected | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
in the next year, this is where the real battle will be fought. | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
New reports out in the UK today that suggests some people aren't getting | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
jobs in top banks because of the way they dress at interview. Sebastien | :23:37. | :23:38. | |
Crispin put us on to this story. This is a report from the social | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
mobility commission that looks at how easy it is for people to move | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
across social boundaries. What it did today was released and a report | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
on investment banking. Graduates were being held back because they | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
weren't able to monitor these unspoken social conventions covering | :24:01. | :24:02. | |
anything from the type of clothes they where just the way they speak, | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
the sorts of things they do in their spare time. One applicant was told | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
he was wearing a tie that was too loud, others for wearing brown shoes | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
with a suit, others because they didn't have the right social | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
connections within their family. It's these vague and unspoken rules | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
that hiring managers set quite high store in. These vague and unspoken | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
laws are hard to monitor and change. Are the banks involved in the study | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
admitting there is a problem? It's a difficult issue to address, | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
campaigners have been raising the problem of social mobility in the UK | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
for a long time and Theresa May has said it is a priority to improve the | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
life chances of people across the UK. The report makes several | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
recommendations to the banking sector, it does need to make an | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
effort to look across social boundaries to make sure they are | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
inclusive employers, use more... Monitor data more closely to make | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
sure it is being fair. There are certain other things being | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
recommended in the report. How easy they are to implement remains | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
tricky. The first step will be the sect acknowledging there is a | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
problem. There might be people watching now who run businesses and | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
say it is important what you wear when you turn up for interview. If | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
you don't think about what fits with the company you're talking to, | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
perhaps it's evidence you are not taking the application as seriously | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
as you might. What the report is trying to say is, of course there | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
will be things important to hiring managers, but the things those | :25:33. | :25:40. | |
people set store in... It's unfair if you discriminate against someone | :25:41. | :25:42. | |
because they don't know these unspoken rules. If there is more | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
guidance from another searing as to what's expected, perhaps it would be | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
a step closer. I think what the report is trying to say is it's | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
unfair to block someone from getting a job they should be entitled to, | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
simply because they turned up in the wrong clothes. I'll be back with you | :25:58. | :25:59. | |
