:02:05. > :02:06.trying to gather all the cups from Starbucks, they are not taking part,
:02:07. > :02:18.maybe they are doing else. But to me, that is a we are trialling

:02:52. > :02:53.story. Seeing both my sons wanting to risk their lives for me, it was a
:02:54. > :02:55.big, big thing. But now, thanks to top chefs
:02:56. > :02:58.like Hugh, there's no shortage of people wanting to get
:02:59. > :03:00.into the food business, but some jobs don't
:03:01. > :03:02.have the same pulling power. Nurses, GPs, plumbers,
:03:03. > :03:04.they're all high on the list of professions struggling
:03:05. > :03:06.to recruit enough new workers. And there's a crisis
:03:07. > :03:32.looming on our roads, too, The career break I've been looking
:03:33. > :03:34.for! Second only to being an astronaut, driving a lorry was quite
:03:35. > :03:41.simply the stuff of dreams when I was a child. But it seems it has
:03:42. > :03:45.lost its lustre. In the UK, there are 315,000 truck drivers like Terry
:03:46. > :03:50.here, but the haulage industry says that is nowhere near enough. It
:03:51. > :03:59.claims that we need 60,000 more right now, and by 2018, another
:04:00. > :04:08.100,000. And for businesses like this family haulage company, the
:04:09. > :04:12.shortage of drivers touches us all. We cannot get machines to building
:04:13. > :04:17.sites to build houses it affects every single business. A recent
:04:18. > :04:22.report highlighted a lack of younger drivers, as well as woeful levels of
:04:23. > :04:26.female and minority drivers. Young people aren't coming through because
:04:27. > :04:30.there is enough help in schools. We are not attracting them at a young
:04:31. > :04:33.enough age. There are loads of different jobs that women and men
:04:34. > :04:40.can do, and that is what we want - more people. I have rolled up near
:04:41. > :04:44.Grimsby. This is big trucking territory, but it also happens to
:04:45. > :04:49.have one of the highest unemployment rates in the country. So, can we
:04:50. > :04:55.convince some locals that a truck's life is for them? We've persuaded
:04:56. > :05:01.Sean, pate and Alex and Kelly to give it a go. Are you not
:05:02. > :05:08.intimidated by the size of them? The articulated ones look a bit... Dicey
:05:09. > :05:12.looking. It is daunting when you see them close up. Different seeing them
:05:13. > :05:18.on the road. And selling them driving as a possible career, some
:05:19. > :05:23.surprisingly young truckers. First in the convoy, Lindsey's daughter
:05:24. > :05:29.Sammy. Then every Shannon. At 20, she is Britain's youngest female
:05:30. > :05:37.truck driver. Then Lindsey's son, John. All these guys, tell them
:05:38. > :05:43.about the benefits of being a truck driver. We specialise in heavy
:05:44. > :05:49.transport. We are escorted by the police a lot. It is quite exciting.
:05:50. > :05:55.Everything starts from the back of a lorry, really, doesn't it? It is
:05:56. > :06:01.time for our volunteers to get behind the wheel. It's a daunting
:06:02. > :06:06.prospect. Have you driven anything that size before? Not at all. The
:06:07. > :06:12.first test, to drive the wagon in a circle and stop safely. Terry, the
:06:13. > :06:18.instructor, is on hand. Our truckers will be judging how well they do.
:06:19. > :06:22.The second test is trickier - reversing into an imaginary loading
:06:23. > :06:29.bay. It is meant to go in there, I think! While a potential recruits
:06:30. > :06:35.get to grips with the trucks... Theresa that was awesome. Sally from
:06:36. > :06:39.the transport Association tells me the industry has an image problem
:06:40. > :06:45.when it comes to diversity and wages. The industry has been
:06:46. > :06:51.pigeonholed. It is very much white, middle-aged driver. And we've got to
:06:52. > :06:54.move on from that perception. If you are eager to encourage more people
:06:55. > :07:02.into truck driving, shouldn't the average wage be higher? It is around
:07:03. > :07:09.?28,000, the average. But if you want to work the big retailers, it
:07:10. > :07:14.would be in the region of ?30,000. All of our potential truckers have
:07:15. > :07:19.finished their tests will stop Judge Sammy is impressed. But after their
:07:20. > :07:26.day with us, are our recruits still interested in being truckers? It is
:07:27. > :07:34.a fallback - they all want to be truck drivers. It was amazing, and I
:07:35. > :07:40.would definitely do it again. It has definitely changed my mind, today.
:07:41. > :07:44.Without truck drivers come a little in this country would be distributed
:07:45. > :07:47.or bought and sold. Finding the next generation of truck drivers isn't
:07:48. > :07:56.only desirable, it is vital for the country. Right, which way is
:07:57. > :07:59.Nashville? Thanks so much, Andy. I'm just flicking through
:08:00. > :08:02.Truck Stop News here, out their coveted Truck Stop
:08:03. > :08:07.of the Year Award. And the award for best facilities
:08:08. > :08:32.goes to Chippenham Pit Stop! Hello. You are getting giddy for the
:08:33. > :08:38.award! I am here at Chippenham Pit Stop, where 100 hungry truckers bed
:08:39. > :08:42.down every evening. They have the best facilities in the country, and
:08:43. > :08:47.they are really good. They even have a barber. They have an outdoor gym,
:08:48. > :08:51.and they have women's facilities with hairdryers and underfloor
:08:52. > :08:56.heating. Inside, it is like no I have ever seen before. There are
:08:57. > :09:01.plants and flowers if you want to oxygenate your cab. There is fruit
:09:02. > :09:06.and veg, locally sourced, locally grown and used on the menu here.
:09:07. > :09:10.Sheila toils away every day, making the most amazing cake. I had the
:09:11. > :09:16.lemon drizzle and it is amazing. Let's talk to Neal. You are holding
:09:17. > :09:20.your ward with pride. Well done. Thank you very much indeed. This is
:09:21. > :09:27.different to what we expect from a truck stop. We are next really.
:09:28. > :09:30.Having freshly cooked food and locally sourced products, hopefully
:09:31. > :09:34.we will appeal to the next generation of boys and girls coming
:09:35. > :09:38.through the ranks now. Hello, guys, if you had a daughter, would you
:09:39. > :09:48.want her to get into trucking? No chance. Not even... My son is not
:09:49. > :09:54.even doing it. Have you used the facilities here? I had not used the
:09:55. > :10:03.barber's, because I shave my own head. My girlfriend does it for me.
:10:04. > :10:08.Have you used the gym? Next time. We're going to kick it up a notch.
:10:09. > :10:14.We have a very special menu. Tonight, having pigeon breast, leek
:10:15. > :10:17.and nettle potato cakes, and they are going to be delicious. I am
:10:18. > :10:25.looking forward to seeing what the lads think of these. Sheila's cakes
:10:26. > :10:31.sound like another level. I could see you in the hairdresser's. I
:10:32. > :10:36.would fancy being a truck driver. Long distance Clara! All sorts of
:10:37. > :10:39.possibilities for plan B here! it's the presidential
:10:40. > :10:41.campaign that's turned into the ultimate
:10:42. > :10:43.un-popularity contest. From their mud-slinging
:10:44. > :10:44.debates, you'd be forgiven
:10:45. > :10:45.for thinking they have polar-opposite viewpoints
:10:46. > :10:47.on almost every issue. But is it really so easy
:10:48. > :11:01.to spot the difference? He would rather have a puppet as
:11:02. > :11:06.president in the United States. You are the puppet. The debates are over
:11:07. > :11:14.and plenty has been set, but who said what? Can people here call the
:11:15. > :11:20.quotes? If I want to knock a story off the front page, I just change my
:11:21. > :11:31.hairstyle. Tromp. I'll say Clinton. It's Clinton. What do you expect
:11:32. > :11:42.from Trump? Just something shocking. I think he's not. Next... Trump. You
:11:43. > :11:52.think that's Trump? It is Clinton, in fact. I would say that is a
:11:53. > :12:04.Trump. It sounds boring and wordy, so I would say Clinton. You think
:12:05. > :12:13.the sensors are out to get Clinton? I like his style. Including his
:12:14. > :12:18.hair? Sounds like something Trump would say. Clinton. Its Trump.
:12:19. > :12:35.Goodness! Hugh, let's talk about your latest
:12:36. > :12:38.campaign. You're talking about the ivory trade and trying to save the
:12:39. > :12:43.African elephant. How long have you been involved? Well, I've been going
:12:44. > :12:46.to Africa for a while, but the chance to do something about it and
:12:47. > :12:51.make a documentary came this year, and I started following the ivory
:12:52. > :12:54.trade, looking at the crisis facing the African elephant. 30,000 are
:12:55. > :13:02.being killed in Africa every year. There is still a voracious demand
:13:03. > :13:07.for ivory products. That demand is widely understood to be all about
:13:08. > :13:10.the Asian market. I went from the tragic killing fields of northern
:13:11. > :13:16.Mozambique, one of the worst poaching hot in Africa, to look at
:13:17. > :13:21.the market in Hong Kong and China to try and find out how the ivory was
:13:22. > :13:24.being smuggled. We went undercover, put a lot of time and resources into
:13:25. > :13:28.trying to get to the bottom of what's driving this trade. One thing
:13:29. > :13:32.that popped up that we really weren't expecting - loads of ivory
:13:33. > :13:38.arriving in Hong Kong from Europe and the UK. We actually have a legal
:13:39. > :13:42.ivory trade here in the UK. We cannot export raw tasks, even though
:13:43. > :13:47.there are some knocking around from colonial times, but we sell a lot of
:13:48. > :13:54.carved objects. In the last few years, those objects have started
:13:55. > :13:59.going out to Asia really fast, some legally, some illegally. My problem
:14:00. > :14:07.with that is, the UK carved ivory is propping up the market. That means,
:14:08. > :14:12.you know, that makes us somehow complicit, and it means that we need
:14:13. > :14:14.to look at how we sell ivory in this country and really assess whether we
:14:15. > :14:20.could be contributing to the problem. My films conclude that we
:14:21. > :14:25.pretty much are. You mentioned Mozambique. This is you seeing the
:14:26. > :14:31.results of poaching for the first time. Atypical gang will include a
:14:32. > :14:35.couple of men to cut out the tasks and carry them away. Between all of
:14:36. > :14:55.them, they will probably share as little as ?100 for their work.
:14:56. > :15:06.Either they are getting a very good price or they don't mind what they
:15:07. > :15:10.shoot. Is it right that these elephants are being killed because a
:15:11. > :15:15.third of their task is actually inside the skull? Yeah, you can't
:15:16. > :15:20.really take ivory from an elephant without killing it. The biggest and
:15:21. > :15:26.most valuable part is inside the head of the elephant, so it is
:15:27. > :15:37.always a legal business. -- a lethal business.
:15:38. > :15:39.Prince William is backing your campaign,
:15:40. > :15:42.and has even gone as far as to say the royal ivory collection
:15:43. > :15:45.Where do you stand on the antique trade?
:15:46. > :15:50.That is the crunch question. We have been complacent about antique Ivory,
:15:51. > :15:58.because it is old, it has been around a long time, we think it is
:15:59. > :16:01.not part of a problem, but pre-1947 antique Ivory is streaming out to
:16:02. > :16:03.Asia and propping up the market and giving cover for poached ivory. That
:16:04. > :16:09.means that is the problem Ivory, we really need to have another look at
:16:10. > :16:14.that. Any so-called band that the government might be talking about,
:16:15. > :16:19.if it does not look at pre-1947 Ivory, it will be pulling up short.
:16:20. > :16:23.Needs to be a blanket. Is that what you are asking for? Is that what you
:16:24. > :16:25.are trying to get? I have tried to get conversations with the
:16:26. > :16:29.government in the programme, we caught up with the Minister of the
:16:30. > :16:34.environment in the second programme, and I had a brief conversation...
:16:35. > :16:46.But I think it was the government are some here. Into manifestos they
:16:47. > :16:49.have said they want a total ban on the ivory trade, we are now waiting
:16:50. > :16:51.to see exactly when and how they deliver on that promise. This is
:16:52. > :16:54.still a very real process for you, in the edit with the second
:16:55. > :16:57.programme, so hopefully, we will see more. It has been intense! First
:16:58. > :17:07.episode is on BBC One, it is on Monday night.
:17:08. > :17:10.Saving Africa's Elephants: Hugh and the Ivory War.
:17:11. > :17:13.Now, on the face of it you might not think
:17:14. > :17:15.the Northern Irish countryside has much in common with the plateaus
:17:16. > :17:19.But one man's looking to change all that with a few
:17:20. > :17:22.plants and a polytunnel and Jennie Brown's been to meet him.
:17:23. > :17:27.With 165 million cups of tea drunk in the UK every day, we clearly love
:17:28. > :17:31.those leaves, and feeding the habit means we have two import 140,000
:17:32. > :17:36.tonnes of tea every year, and the hotter climates in the world, like
:17:37. > :17:42.Bertin and Kenya. There is a place that might just give us a home-grown
:17:43. > :17:47.cuppa. -- Bhutan. And it is a little bit surprise. Northern Ireland? One
:17:48. > :17:53.man seems to think so. Oscar has ambitious plans for the tea
:17:54. > :17:59.plantation here, the first, and he's growing seedlings just outside
:18:00. > :18:03.Belfast. These are your babies. It is amazing that it has come this
:18:04. > :18:08.far. The journey they have been on his four years, so far. You must be
:18:09. > :18:13.so proud! His travels throughout Asia gave him the hots for a cuppa,
:18:14. > :18:16.so he returned to Belfast to set up 80 importing company and now he
:18:17. > :18:25.thinks he has found tea plants that will grow here. These are from
:18:26. > :18:34.Tanzania, a particularly cold state. They have a bit more sunshine. --
:18:35. > :18:36.set up a tea importing company. A lot of things working against us
:18:37. > :18:43.here, but I like a challenge! To be honest, I
:18:44. > :18:48.can't help feeling that the Northern Ireland climate is never going to
:18:49. > :18:52.nurture eight T plantation, but Oscar is certain he has a place
:18:53. > :18:59.which is perfect, and this is it, on the Irish peninsula, bought a very.
:19:00. > :19:06.-- a tea Plantation. The sum is out today, but will this really work for
:19:07. > :19:09.tea? I need some expert advice. -- the sun is out today. This BBC
:19:10. > :19:12.weatherman may be the man for it. It is almost guaranteed to be frost
:19:13. > :19:18.free here, that is the special bit about where we are, you have the
:19:19. > :19:21.Irish Sea, just a few miles over there, it is already going to be
:19:22. > :19:24.warm, that is like having a winter duvet, but you have the lake as
:19:25. > :19:27.well, that is like having a hot water bottle, it keeps everything a
:19:28. > :19:32.little bit warmer. Oscar is not a meteorologist but he found somewhere
:19:33. > :19:36.induces to growing tea? I think he is brave, if I was going to plant
:19:37. > :19:47.tea plants anywhere in Northern Ireland, right here is where I would
:19:48. > :19:48.do it. This is the tea fields. But why here? What makes this so
:19:49. > :19:58.special? Will respond to you need a lot of rain. Plus, this
:19:59. > :20:02.is the height of the sun, during the day. It doesn't look like much, what
:20:03. > :20:07.Oscar aims to plant 500 of his specially nurtured tea plants here,

:20:20. > :20:26.which will be grown import a very, and I am one of the first to try
:20:27. > :20:29.this home-grown brew. -- grown in Portferry. We will have about four
:20:30. > :20:40.minutes. This is the moment of truth, I'm so
:20:41. > :20:52.excited, the first tee grown in Northern Ireland. I will sit some of
:20:53. > :20:59.this... Cheers. -- sip. I'm pleasant surprise, that is lovely, that is
:21:00. > :21:02.gorgeous, actually. But, who am I to judge? Let's leave it to the real
:21:03. > :21:13.jury, the possible paying patrons of Portaferry. What are you thinking,
:21:14. > :21:16.happy with that? Yes, I like it. I would drink that. Like a Chinese
:21:17. > :21:21.green tea, a bit like. I like it. What you think? It is nice. Would
:21:22. > :21:32.you say that has Northern Irish personality? Yes, possibly. It is
:21:33. > :21:43.nice. I admit, I was sceptical, but there just might be something
:21:44. > :21:46.brewing in Portaferry. STUDIO: It is a shame we do not have anything to
:21:47. > :21:49.taste. What are you doing? I have moved on from the truckstop news, I
:21:50. > :21:57.am doing you's new book. Look at the size of that! -- I am reading Hugh's
:21:58. > :22:00.new book. It is a real-time, it is an a to Z of ingredients, building
:22:01. > :22:05.up your kitten condiments, no ingredient need hold any fear for

:22:16. > :22:22.River Cottage, the guys that you see on the show, who teach the courses,
:22:23. > :22:25.really. We were at Chippenham truckstop earlier on, and we have
:22:26. > :22:30.come up with a meal menu for tonight. We are serving the truckers
:22:31. > :22:36.pigeon breasts with nettle and potato cakes for starters, bacon and
:22:37. > :22:43.maple cookies, we know they like their bacon. Do they go together?
:22:44. > :22:46.Sweet and savoury, yes. Is that something to munch on down the
:22:47. > :22:52.motorway, we will go to junction 17 on the M4 and find out. We usually
:22:53. > :22:59.see pigeon in a different capacity, I'm sure. Is it nice, in your belly?
:23:00. > :23:02.It is lovely, it tastes different, it tastes very nice. Cook very well.
:23:03. > :23:10.What do you think of the nettle potato cakes? Taste like bubble and
:23:11. > :23:15.squeak! It is a good hearty food. It is good but it is not hearty, not
:23:16. > :23:27.enough on the plate. Maple and bacon cookies, move on, I had a sneaky
:23:28. > :23:30.sample, they are delicious. You had some cookies, do you want some
:23:31. > :23:33.cookies? Come on, come on baby are good. They are nice, they are nice.
:23:34. > :23:36.Loads of bacon as well, that is exactly what you want after a long
:23:37. > :23:39.day on the road. Different. Different. LAUGHTER
:23:40. > :23:44.Getting both sides of the argument on tonight's show, he says, not
:23:45. > :23:50.putting any of my kids into this game. Lovely nettle potatoes, that

:24:00. > :24:01.and needs a transplant and it's looking like his son Ben
:24:02. > :24:04.may be his best option. And that's not as far-fetched
:24:05. > :24:06.as you might think. There were 36 liver

:24:40. > :24:42.father became aware that he was infected, hepatitis C is a virus
:24:43. > :24:48.that attacks the liver. It causes scarring. This scarring also known

:24:54. > :24:58.GP, in South Bend, I had a wife, three children. I was starting to
:24:59. > :25:01.get quite depressed about what was happening. As my father became more
:25:02. > :25:06.and more ill, obviously it was having an effect on his general
:25:07. > :25:13.well-being. His mental state. -- Southend. I ended up retiring,
:25:14. > :25:21.medically, and soon afterwards, divorced. As time went on, I really
:25:22. > :25:29.did start missing my family, and I tried to make contact with my
:25:30. > :25:34.children. Luckily, they responded. My eldest son, Jarrett, in
:25:35. > :25:39.particular. October, 2014, my father told me he had cancer and he was
:25:40. > :25:43.basically going through various tests, so the doctors could see
:25:44. > :25:49.whether they could remove the tumour. During this time, the liver
:25:50. > :25:54.cancer had progressed to the point where now the only curative
:25:55. > :25:58.procedure would actually be a liver transplant. When my dad was put on
:25:59. > :26:04.the donor list, we were very aware that cancer was what aggressive. It
:26:05. > :26:10.might be the case that he did not receive a donation in time.
:26:11. > :26:11.Straightaway I put myself forward. I said, I would like to donate my
:26:12. > :26:30.liver to my dad. After some tests, they found out
:26:31. > :26:32.that I would need to donate 66% of my liver, and that meant I was in
:26:33. > :26:38.the category. You can have two little liver left in him, for his
:26:39. > :26:44.own survival. At that point, unbeknown to me, my youngest son had
:26:45. > :26:52.had a private blood test. He would also be suitable as a living donor.
:26:53. > :26:55.We did not expect me to be able to go ahead with it, I am much slighter
:26:56. > :26:59.than my brother, you would not think I would have a sufficient liver, if
:27:00. > :27:05.my brother was not able to. They thought that he was more suitable,
:27:06. > :27:10.he needed only 54% of his liver to be taken. The risks to him were
:27:11. > :27:19.lower, and much as I did not like hearing that, it was the right thing
:27:20. > :27:22.to do. Stark reality, very soon we realised, this would be the only
:27:23. > :27:31.option for the Cure, and to see both my sons wanting to risk their lives
:27:32. > :27:43.for me, that was a big thing for me. It was hard to accept that. It is
:27:44. > :27:46.difficult to say how proud I am of my brother. We had the opportunity
:27:47. > :27:49.to go through and help someone you love. The bravery he showed, to go
:27:50. > :28:01.through with the transplant, it was huge.
:28:02. > :28:06.After the operation, I was left with around 45% of my liver. After a
:28:07. > :28:13.week, my liver had regenerated to 75%! That is truly remarkable. After
:28:14. > :28:17.three months, my liver was up to 100%. Functioning perfectly
:28:18. > :28:25.normally. I have a new life, a new way of thinking about life. And I am
:28:26. > :28:32.extremely grateful, to both my sons. The type of relationship we have is
:28:33. > :28:37.much closer than we had before. I feel glad to be alive, I feel there
:28:38. > :28:44.is a purpose to me that I did not have before.
:28:45. > :28:51.The bond is so close between father and son anyway... What a lovely
:28:52. > :28:58.story. Think of that some of the decisions that families have to
:28:59. > :29:03.make. That is all we have time for, in tonight 's programme. Thanks so
:29:04. > :29:09.much to our guest Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, his fight to
