20/06/2013 The One Show

with Alex Jones. And Matt Baker. Our guest tonight is a tennis player who

in the 70s had to deal with one of the most sexist men ever. It is

incredible. Please do not shoot the messenger here. Former men's number

one Bobby Riggs said this. The best way to handle women is to keep them

pregnant and barefoot. He then went on to say "The male is

king, the male is supreme and women should know that" . His words, not

mine! But our guestbook that man in his place in the court. It is 39

time Grand Slam winner Billie Jean King! I can't believe how many

people you have here. We will be talking about this incredible battle

later. I have trouble remembering it. How important was it for you to

make Bobby Riggs eat his words? was quite important. There was so

much attention on it. It really was a reflection of society. Sports are

a microcosm of society. It was about equality. And you nailed it. We will

go into that later. Goodness knows how you cope with the pressure.

will also hear your Wimbledon predictions. I had better start

thinking. I don't have a clue! The pressure is on. Before that, Google

is everywhere. It is on our computers and phones, it is taking

photos of where we live, voters of space. It is even about to send its

own fleet of balloons into the skies. With that much power comes

great responsibility, and many believe Google is not living up to

its mantra - don't be evil. Gentlemen, my name is Doctor Google,

and this is my evil online empire. From my headquarters, I can track

your every move, find out what you are shopping for and follow your

most private conversations. In the past five years, I have turned over

�11 billion, but paid corporation tax of just 10 million. Hah ha-ha!

Just 10 million? That is 1000th of its revenue. That explains why a lot

of people see Google is a bit of a Bond villain. Last month, its top

brass had to explain the company's tax affairs to a committee of angry

MPs. Your company says do no evil, and I think you do do evil. Evil to

me suggests something like the devil. Google, on the other hand, I

am not so sure. If you have an official motto that says don't be

evil, you are testing yourself up for a fall. You are saying to

everybody, you are the good guys. Especially when it came to light

that they had been avoiding paying tax by routing company accounts

through Ireland. And that information was confirmed by a

whistleblower. What did you blow the whistle on? Google were in the press

saying they did not do any selling in the UK. They said that because if

they don't sell in the UK, they don't have to pay much tax here. I

worked for Google's sales team for four years and I want to make

everyone realise that Google had a sales team in the UK and that

selling was what the sales team did. Google makes millions of pounds in

the UK, but it pays hardly anything in tax here. Let's make one thing

clear. What Google is doing is perfectly legal under international

taxation laws, and they are not the only ones at it. Other

multinationals like Starbucks, Amazon and Facebook have faced

similar criticism. But let's be honest, if you had the opportunity

legally to pay less tax, wouldn't you take it? But for the doubters,

Google's tax affairs are just the tip of an iceberg. Stored away on

Google's servers are reams of personal information about us. It

has also come under pressure to do more to block access to indecent

material, but that is not holding the company back. Google processes

over 3 billion searches around the world every day. Its sheer size has

even changed the way internet searches work. It is looking into

ways of automating your home and making a driverless car. It owns

YouTube, and Google maps, and everything you do on it is stored,

so it could know a lot more about you than you think. Rory, one is

through some of the ways Google can access our information. You have

search, Gmail, calendars, chats and Google Android. Anything that goes

into or out of your mobile phone, they have access to. Is it possible

to take Google out of your life? Maybe if you move to Timbuktu. Apart

from that, search for Google dashboard, and you can see what

information they hold on you will stop then you can start to scale

back the information you give them. Would you say Google are revealed?

Not on camera, because they know so much about me! Google is changing

the world and how we do things. These entrepreneurs are among those

who say it is that the better. This is a technical hub supported and

part funded by Google. We provide them with access to an active

community and mentorship and support so that they can launch their own

businesses. What is in it for Google? This is a not-for-profit

activity. We don't write cheques or recruit engineers from the

start-ups. It is a way for us to give back to the start-up

community. Are you offering these businesses tax advice? We do not

offer tax advice. Just as well. Well, Google did not want to

comment, which is interesting, because I thought they wanted to

share everything. But technology correspondent Rory Selin Jones has

followed Google more than most. Let's have a look at their good

versus evil balance sheet. The good thing is that this is one of the

most clever companies in the world. It has thousands of engineers

working on those ideas from those driverless cars to these new glasses

whether internet will come straight into your eyes to those feats of

balloons to bring the internet to remote places. We all use their

services and get a lot from them. At the bad side is what we have heard

about the tax and how much control they have overall of our data and

the worries about privacy. But the real thing about Google was the

mistake it made at the beginning, in saying, we are not evil. They tried

to paint themselves almost as a charity. I spoke to a guy from the

company and other day who was telling me how wonderful the new

Google maps is, and I said, and how does it make money? And he looked at

me like I had used a dirty word. They are a business making huge

amounts of money, and there are compromises involved in that.

Billie, on the privacy issue, how do you feel now that your government

has access to you all your e-mails? I am OK about it, but I understand

why people would not be. I told everybody in the tennis press

office, whatever you write, everybody can see. So are you all

right with it? That is the deal now. You have to think. The only trouble

is that sometimes I hit that send button, and then I want to bring it

back! How can I retrieve it before anybody sees it? Otherwise, you just

have to think different league. Secrets don't work. I just think we

have to be alert. Are you willing to have the whole world look at it?

From our point of view in Britain, Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, all of

these companies are in the US. We are giving them our data. They may

be lovely, but it is them that decide what happens. It is very

complex. But they don't realise what they are creating.

Now, let's take ourselves back to the late 60s. Women in America could

not get their own credit cards. In the UK, within earned up to 45% less

than men for the same job and female tennis players at far less money

than the men. We know those facts are correct, because we googled

them. Anyway, enter Billie here. Here she is in her new cinema

documentary, explaining how her fight for equality began at a young

age. As a child, I realised that girls did not have power and people

would not listen to us in the same way they listened to boys. I could

not articulate it then. I felt these things bubbling up in me. I decided

I was going to spend the rest of my life fighting for equal

opportunities for boys and girls, men and women. I knew that tennis

would be a platform if I became number one. That was majestic

footage. They bring back great memories. You did become world

number one, but after that, the fight really took off in 1968, when

women became professional. We fought for professional tennis first. The

all England club voted for it, so we owe a lot of debt to them. Then when

we first got money in 1968, that was the first year. They are going to

get �1.6 million. Thanks to you.But the point is that when Rod Labour

got his cheque for �2000 and I got my check the �750, I went, oh, no. I

thought it would be even. So I thought, here we go again. We were

fighting so hard for pro tennis. I wanted to be with the men as an

association, and they didn't want us. So that was not fun. Rejection

is not fun anyway, but it was hard because these guys were my friends.

And you were playing for a dollar? We signed that dollar contract, nine

of us. That was the moment of the birth of women's professional tennis

as we know today. Today we are celebrating our 40th anniversary. We

start of the Association three years later in 1973 at the Gloucester

Hotel in London. It was during the Queens tournament. It was an �18,000

tournament. And I said to Betty stove, from Holland, Locke the

doors, don't let anybody out. We will have an association by the end

of this meeting, or not. And she goes, great. She is really tall. And

we signed on and elected our officers that they. My former

husband had the bylaws written, because he was a lawyer. We were an

association at the end of that day on June 20, 1973, which is today.

it was all going great guns, and then there was this guy we spoke

about at the beginning, Bobby Riggs, who was a chauvinist and a thorn in

women's side, permanently. And then you two challenged each other to a

tennis match. He followed me around for three years and I would not play

him, and then he played Margaret and she lost, and then I had to play.

Margaret took one for the team. I had to play him. I knew it was about

social change. People only pay attention to women in sports if we

are in the men's arena. And because 95% of the media is controlled by

men, it is about them. It was a flamboyant match. It was like the

World Cup would be here. I am coming out on managing she and litter -- on

an Egyptian litter, with these beefcake guys carrying me. They were

adorable, from Huston. We watched the documentary this morning, a

friend and myself, in our pyjamas. We were screaming at the TV. How

much pressure were you feeling at took another 34 years for Wimbledon

to do the same. But tennis is not the only profession to drag its

heels. Jasmine Harman serves up the It is wrong. They are both doing the

same job. We are living in a different age now, so why should we

not get paid the same wages for the same work? But that headline figure

does not begin to account the percentage of women working part

time. If you put them into the mix, the pay gap increases to nearly 20%.

It means that as women would have to work nearly two months more every

year to earn the same as our male political sense? We all are. We want

equal rights for men and women. That is the way the world needs to go for

all of us, because we are all in this together. I have always tried

to think about trying to be good to each other.

On a different subject, when we sent Mike to Lyme Regis in search of a

rare bird, none of us were sure if you would find anything. But never

doubt the Dilger. Prepare yourself for the weakest stakeout in natural

history history. The variety of birds in Britain is

growing, and is now more diverse than ever. The arrival of new

species often start with just a few leading the way. So I am on a

mission to track down an exotic bird, called the hoopoe, that could

be the next regular site in Britain. Only 100 of these

mysterious verbs are spotted every year, so they are tough to find.

Even when one is located, it usually disappears within hours, so I have a

challenge on my hands. This is a map of all the recent sighting this

year. Even though they are fairly well spread, there is a real hotspot

along the south coast. So that is where I am headed in the hope of

finding a hoopoe. Better known as a package holiday bird, it is so

rarely seen here that most which will have only spotted one on beach

holidays in the Met. But far from the Mediterranean, my destination

today is Lyme Regis in Dorset, as their have been sightings here over

the last week. You have been catching up with this elusive

hoopoe? Yes, I saw it last Saturday. I have some photos from

Chris Cook on the West Midlands, who came just to see this word.

Beautiful, isn't it? The plumage is really fresh. And you can see the

mud on the bill. These birds migrate from Africa to Europe, and currently

only turn up in England when they accidentally overshoot. How long has

it been knocking around? About a week. That is unusual. Hoopoe is

often stay for a day or two, but we have had a lot of rain and strong

winds. If the bird tries to return now, it will be flying against the

wind. It will try and find its home. When a rare bird lands, there

is a flutter of activity online. In the last week, there have been

frequent posts on websites like this one. But over the last 24 hours, the

trail has gone cold. I hope I haven't missed it. I am told there

has been a group of the -- bird-watchers at the pitch and putt

car park over the last two days, and they were all lingering near a blue

skip. And that is it, so at least I am in the right place. All I have to

do now is find it. Hoopoes like really short turf to feed on to look

for lots of juicy invertebrates, leather jackets, worms, grubs,

Beatles. This is a good place to start. Hang on. It is there! Look! I

am standing a metre from the skip, and it is in the field. Oh, As! It

looks totally at home. Its crest is laid-back, and it has a long bill.

Beautiful, pink plumage. Fabulous, dazzling black and white wings. This

is the easiest to which I have ever gone on. I found the bird within 30

seconds. Beautiful. My word, look at that! The crest is up and

everything. They have a startling ability to show how they are feeling

as well. In alarm and excitement, they flicked open their plumes in

this stunning fan. I can't believe this. The bird is just preening

itself, keeping those fabulous feathers in tiptop condition. This

bird is putting on the most amazing show. Look at that! I love seeing

rare birds, especially ones as beautiful as this. And who knows?

With warmer summers that we are getting, this could be a much more

regular occurrence. Until then, keep your eyes peeled in spring for a

black and white bird exploding out of the grassland.

Have you ever known such excitement? ! After 30 seconds he still put in

for a full-day's pay! This is a woman you will be interested in. She

had to deal with men doubting her abilities. Amy Johnson was prepared

to go a long way to prove her ex-boyfriend wrong.

In 1930, when men dominated the skies, one for men flew an

incredible 10,000 miles from England to Australia in a machine like this.

Ever since the Wright brothers's first powered flight in 1903, men

designed, built and flew aeroplanes with varying degrees of success. For

most women, it was pretty much a closed shop, except for one woman

who stands tall among this old boys club. Her name was Amy Johnson. With

only two years flying experience behind her, she became the first

woman to complete that epic journey in this plane solo. She was born and

raised in whole, the oldest of four girls in 1903. In 1923 she pursued

her dream of flying by moving to London. After just 16 hours of

Jewish she gained her pilot license. Not content with just being able to

fly, she was able to fix aeroplanes and was the first woman in the

country to hold a ground engineer's license. This would be the start of

an incredible flying career. She decided to beat the record in 1930

set for a flight from Britain to Australia in this gypsy moth. It was

bought second-hand for �600. On the 5th of May, she prepared to take off

from Croydon airport with compass and map for navigation, and another

essential item. Part of the survival kit apart from water and a portable

stove and quinine, she was advised to take a revolver just in case she

was making a forced landing in a difficult environment. How difficult

is it to fly? There is no autopilot. She was hand flying. Some of the

legs would have been 11 hours at the time. Why did you do it?She wanted

to prove to her former boyfriend that she was capable of leading an

independent life, so it was partly to show him what she could do. And

partly there were records to be made. The path took over Vienna,

through Turkey, over Iraq and arriving in India two days earlier

than the German had done. Although torrential rain, bad light and lack

of fuel forced her to crash land in Rangoon, damaging her aeroplane and

putting paid to her record attempt. I have taken to the skies above this

airfield with compass and map just to see what it is like to navigate

from an open cockpit. It is on through Singapore, arriving to a

heroes welcome in Darwin on the 24th of May. The 19.5 days that she took

did not beat the record but she became the first woman to fly solo

from England to Australia. It was a huge achievement. The Australians

loved her. She was officially the darling of the age. Hello,

everybody. My seem to have got here at last. It has been a long time but

here I am and jolly glad to be here at last. Amy Johnson came home to

the hero's welcome, was awarded the CBE, and went on to set more records

will solo flights around the world. She had become a worldwide celebrity

but her life was tragically cut short in 1941, when on a mission for

the air transport auxiliary she crashed in the Thames estuary.

Despite numerous attempts to find her, she and her aeroplane have

never been recovered. The celebrated aviator was just 37 years old. Amy

Johnson did leave behind a trophy paid for by her Australian money and

for 80 years has been awarded to people from Hull. The current holder

is here with her grandmother, who won the cup for helping save her

family's life when a fire broke out at home. We have a replica of the

trophy here. I was just going to ask you... I would love to do it. My dad

was a firefighter. How appropriate. What an honour for me to be able to

give you this. What would you like to do when you

leave school? I would like to become a policewoman. My dad was a police

officer, too. You covered it! you pick out the winners? I have no
