:02:15. > :02:19.of the most famous female presenters at the BBC, calling on the
:02:20. > :02:24.corporation to act now to end its gender pay gap. Good morning,
:02:25. > :02:30.friends, thanks for tuning in... That list was the trigger for the
:02:31. > :02:34.letter today, publishing the BBC's highest-paid stars. In the top 20
:02:35. > :02:37.names was only one woman. The best paid men were being paid more than
:02:38. > :02:43.twice what the top women were earning. This open letter to The
:02:44. > :02:47.Papers said that this week's annual report confirmed what many have long
:02:48. > :02:52.suspected, that women were being paid less than men for the same
:02:53. > :02:55.work. On the whole, I think it is fantastic that so many wonderful
:02:56. > :02:59.women have been prepared to put their head above the parapet. We got
:03:00. > :03:05.stick, we knew we would, that was why it would never be an easy thing
:03:06. > :03:13.to do. But it isn't just about, it is not about, getting whacking great
:03:14. > :03:16.pay rises for women who are already well paid. It is about pay parity
:03:17. > :03:18.and getting then is for everybody. The letter today says that the BBC
:03:19. > :03:25.has known about the pay disparity for years, we want to go on record
:03:26. > :03:29.to call upon you to act now. Women's Hour... When programmes such
:03:30. > :03:34.as Women's Hour went on as 60 years ago, equal pay for equal work was a
:03:35. > :03:38.pressing issue. The fact it remains an issue despite law changes in the
:03:39. > :03:42.1960s and 70s after pressures from the women's movement is a sign of
:03:43. > :03:46.how tough it is to find quick solutions. Attitudes of their age
:03:47. > :03:51.and experience and authority affect the pay divide, but it is worth
:03:52. > :04:01.noting that in the top 20 there is not a single black or Asian
:04:02. > :04:03.presenter. It comes at a time where the BBC is facing opposition over
:04:04. > :04:06.plans to change terms and conditions for the rest of staff, paid a
:04:07. > :04:09.fraction of what any star gets. The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn says
:04:10. > :04:15.this taps into a wider issue of fairness and pay. This gender pay
:04:16. > :04:20.gap is appalling, we would insist on a strong gender pay audit as every
:04:21. > :04:26.organisation, and we would also look at a 20-1 ratio between the chief
:04:27. > :04:30.executive and lowest paid staff in every public sector organisation. In
:04:31. > :04:34.response, the BBC said today the overall pay gap there is 10%, less
:04:35. > :04:39.than the national average of 18% but it needed to go further and faster
:04:40. > :04:42.to close the pay gap. The director-general said he is
:04:43. > :04:44.confident that next year's figures will look very different.

:05:08. > :05:09.minister, said it was shocking and Prime Minister Theresa May said the
:05:10. > :05:13.BBC had to look at the whole question of what it paid men and
