:00:09. > :00:10.Hello and welcome to this week's Inside Out West Midlands.
:00:11. > :00:13.Coming up: we've all heard of breast cancer, but how many of us realise
:00:14. > :00:17.Half of me thought, "I'm not surprised".
:00:18. > :00:19.The other half of me thought, "wow, I have breast cancer".
:00:20. > :00:21.Also tonight, are Muslims discriminated against
:00:22. > :00:25.I think there are employers out there, as soon as they see a Muslim
:00:26. > :00:27.name, they straightaway say "no" to that person.
:00:28. > :00:30.And Birmingham legends Black Sabbath played their last ever
:00:31. > :00:32.gig on Saturday night, but they haven't
:00:33. > :00:39.The Beatles came and they gave me a flash of inspiration
:00:40. > :00:59.I'm Ayo Akinwolere and this is Inside Out.
:01:00. > :01:04.Our first film tonight looks at a disease many of us
:01:05. > :01:06.will have probably heard about - breast cancer.
:01:07. > :01:10.But how many of us realise that it can affect men as well as women?
:01:11. > :01:22.Giles Cooper from the Gloucestershire-Worchestershire
:01:23. > :01:25.border is recovering from what many see as a women's illness.
:01:26. > :01:27.It has made me realise there are actually not many people
:01:28. > :01:31.out there who've got it that you can sit down and talk to.
:01:32. > :01:33.Giles had breast cancer and a double mastectomy.
:01:34. > :01:35.Half of me thought, "I am not surprised".
:01:36. > :01:41.The other half, of course, is like "wow, I have breast cancer".
:01:42. > :01:43.He was not surprised because the disease had claimed
:01:44. > :01:54.This is my uncle, my father's brother, and he died three
:01:55. > :02:04.Every so often, Giles has felt alone because so much
:02:05. > :02:13.That is because breast cancer in men is so rare.
:02:14. > :02:16.I have come to meet Giles to talk about his experiences and what has
:02:17. > :02:21.The omens were not good and the likelihood was that
:02:22. > :02:27.So obviously it is always on the back of your mind.
:02:28. > :02:32.I knew deep down it probably was cancer, but when you hear those
:02:33. > :02:38.words you automatically think the worst.
:02:39. > :02:41.He is coming through it with the support of his wife
:02:42. > :02:59.You can't look at statistics and results and outcomes
:03:00. > :03:02.because they are based on women's outcomes much more
:03:03. > :03:10.so than what would be available for men.
:03:11. > :03:15.We did not feel that it was as easy to relax over the future.
:03:16. > :03:17.Giles had breast cancer on his right side but decided
:03:18. > :03:20.to have a double mastectomy as a preventative measure.
:03:21. > :03:22.Looking back on it, it was the right decision to make
:03:23. > :03:30.because I subsequently found out in the case of my uncle he had
:03:31. > :03:34.cancer on the one side and then it reappeared on the other side.
:03:35. > :03:41.Hopefully I still have a few years in me.
:03:42. > :03:43.Fewer than 1% of breast cancer patients are men,
:03:44. > :03:45.but Giles feels that campaigning often focuses on women.
:03:46. > :03:48.He has even contacted the charity Breast Cancer Now
:03:49. > :03:53.Here it says I want to help fund the future research now to stop
:03:54. > :03:58.My argument would be, why not change that to men and women
:03:59. > :04:03.The issue I have is that the charities tend to bury any
:04:04. > :04:11.references to male breast cancer in their websites.
:04:12. > :04:16.Some are like Breast Cancer Now, who quite rightly fund research
:04:17. > :04:19.into male breast cancer, don't advertise it on their home page.
:04:20. > :04:23.Roy Collins had breast cancer five years ago and a mastectomy.
:04:24. > :04:26.He lives 200 miles away from Giles in East Sussex and he's agreed
:04:27. > :04:35.I don't suppose men feel very happy about being associated
:04:36. > :04:38.with a disease which is primarily to do with ladies.
:04:39. > :04:46.It is not how it made me feel, but I bet there are plenty
:04:47. > :04:54.of fellows out there who feel that they cannot have breast cancer
:04:55. > :05:02.How useful would it be to talk things through with another man
:05:03. > :05:21.It is amazing it has taken two years to get to today,
:05:22. > :05:24.to find someone who I can sit down with across a table with and find
:05:25. > :05:27.out what he has been through and what support he got.
:05:28. > :05:35.Men are not known for opening up with each other but the conversation
:05:36. > :05:41.The breast cancer clinic in Cheltenham is a great centre,
:05:42. > :05:44.that feeling when I walked in of being the only man there.
:05:45. > :05:47.Are you happy to take your shirt off in public?
:05:48. > :05:57.We were on a boat trip and this chap got up and I noticed,
:05:58. > :06:00.like everyone else, did that he only had one leg.
:06:01. > :06:03.I sat and looked at him and thought, what do I have to complain about?
:06:04. > :06:06.I found with me that the lump was round the back.
:06:07. > :06:09.I only found it because I poked and prodded because I
:06:10. > :06:26.How was that? It was great to meet Giles, a fellow sufferer. First time
:06:27. > :06:32.for ASBOs. We could spoken all night.
:06:33. > :06:39.He gives me a path that I can see that I am following.
:06:40. > :06:41.Giles still has concerns about how publicity focuses on women,
:06:42. > :06:44.so we're going to have one of the main charities about it
:06:45. > :06:53.I have come to London now to the world-renowned Institute
:06:54. > :06:57.of Cancer research where the charity Breast Cancer Now is funding a big
:06:58. > :07:08.But I did do know enough to tell them about the risks?
:07:09. > :07:10.The charity says 50,000 women are diagnosed with the disease
:07:11. > :07:12.every year in the UK, compared to 359.
:07:13. > :07:17.What we find is that to resonate with the people who are affected
:07:18. > :07:19.by the disease in their thousands, talking about women is more
:07:20. > :07:22.effective and helps us to get as much support for the cause
:07:23. > :07:29.as possible, to raise as much money as possible.
:07:30. > :07:33.Our research aims to stop men and women dying from breast cancer.
:07:34. > :07:38.Breast Cancer Now has invested ?120 million into a long-term study
:07:39. > :07:43.about the disease in men and will continue to support it.
:07:44. > :07:48.This doctor is a geneticist leading a team of scientists.
:07:49. > :07:51.They are studying 2,000 men who have breast cancer
:07:52. > :07:55.and following our filming Giles will now be part of that study.
:07:56. > :08:13.There are two main reasons behind our research,
:08:14. > :08:27.firstly to understand who is getting breast cancer and the second
:08:28. > :08:33.to get the disease treated, how does breast cancer develop
:08:34. > :08:37.So there is lots going on in terms of finding out more
:08:38. > :08:40.We are going to link up with Giles again now.
:08:41. > :08:42.He had his mastectomy here in Cheltenham two years
:08:43. > :08:45.ago and he still has to have regular checkups.
:08:46. > :08:47.Two years on from his mastectomy that left him without nipples,
:08:48. > :08:49.Giles is still too self-conscious to show his scars.
:08:50. > :08:51.This photograph is of a single mastectomy.
:08:52. > :08:54.I think people think it is worse for women in this
:08:55. > :08:57.You would not see a woman walking down the beach having
:08:58. > :09:01.I think it is public awareness, really.
:09:02. > :09:03.Having lost his dad and uncle to breast cancer, Giles
:09:04. > :09:06.But surprisingly no genetic links to his family susceptibility
:09:07. > :09:14.to breast cancer have yet been discovered.
:09:15. > :09:25.He has had extensive genetic testing, looking at the now and
:09:26. > :09:28.breast cancer genes and some other genes, which are mutated Welling
:09:29. > :09:36.creased the risk of breast cancer are little. So far nothing abnormal
:09:37. > :09:42.has been found. With no clear pinpoint about why they men in the
:09:43. > :09:47.family have been affected, Giles and their wife think about their
:09:48. > :09:52.children who are in their 20s. But Giles is hopeful that taking part in
:09:53. > :09:57.studies like the one in London when help -- will help. Hopefully I can
:09:58. > :09:59.help their research and you never know where that might lead.
:10:00. > :10:02.And since we made that film Breast Cancer Now has increased
:10:03. > :10:04.the information it already had about male breast
:10:05. > :10:15.Giles has told us he feels this is "fantastic".
:10:16. > :10:21.Just two days ago the city ? and the world ? said goodbye to some
:10:22. > :10:26.true legends of rock: Brummie-band Black Sabbath.
:10:27. > :10:36.I can't imagine doing anything else. It has been an amazing journey. It
:10:37. > :10:46.is sad it is the last show, but good we are all at the top of our game.
:10:47. > :10:48.Inside Out has been investigating whether the under-representation
:10:49. > :10:51.of British Muslims in top professional roles is the result
:10:52. > :11:12.Can your name or your religion hurt your search for a job?
:11:13. > :11:15.It's a topic of constant debate amongst many Muslims in the UK
:11:16. > :11:18.According to a recent MP-backed report, Muslims are nearly three
:11:19. > :11:21.times more likely to be unemployed than anyone else.
:11:22. > :11:23.So assumptions are based on your race, gender, age, religion.
:11:24. > :11:25.Diversity coach Sneha works with hundreds of recruitment
:11:26. > :11:28.She claims some officers who attended her previous courses
:11:29. > :11:30.have admitted to routinely rejecting applicants with Muslim
:11:31. > :11:34.They've said to me, off the record, that when organisations do contact
:11:35. > :11:36.them, they have said, "please, don't send us
:11:37. > :11:40.And when I questioned them, as in are you colluding with them
:11:41. > :11:42.in not sending names that are unusual or foreign
:11:43. > :11:43.names, the recruitment consultants have said,
:11:44. > :11:46."well, we need business and what is the point of sending
:11:47. > :11:47.them CVs and applications when they're just
:11:48. > :11:55.Are Muslim applicants at a disadvantage?
:11:56. > :11:57.Are their CV's more likely to be rejected?
:11:58. > :12:02.To find out we are going to undertake an experiment.
:12:03. > :12:05.If we are talking about managerial jobs, discrimination testing
:12:06. > :12:08.at a managerial level then it's really a CV or an application
:12:09. > :12:16.We've teamed up with one of the UK's most renowned social scientists
:12:17. > :12:18.to help with the methodology of our experiment,
:12:19. > :12:25.What we've done here is create two CVs that are more or less identical,
:12:26. > :12:36.So Adam in one case we have here, and Mohamed in another.
:12:37. > :12:38.So, aside from their very different names, our two job-seekers
:12:39. > :12:43.Both have obtained degrees in business from top-ranking
:12:44. > :12:45.universities and both have previously worked
:12:46. > :12:50.They will each be submitting applications for exactly the same
:12:51. > :12:52.100 vacancies in the highly competitive field
:12:53. > :13:04.Later, we'll find out how they are doing.
:13:05. > :13:15.Like many Muslim women, Zazama attends classes to help
:13:16. > :13:18.Lessons like this are taking place across the capital,
:13:19. > :13:21.after Government research suggested poor language skills were to blame
:13:22. > :13:24.for high levels of unemployment among Britain's Islamic communities.
:13:25. > :13:26.But even Muslims who speak impeccable English
:13:27. > :13:33.I think there are employers out there who would, well,
:13:34. > :13:36.as soon as they see a Muslim name, they could straightaway say
:13:37. > :13:44."Ahmed", who doesn't want to be identified,
:13:45. > :13:47.is a building contractor and says he is speaking from experience
:13:48. > :13:49.following a disturbing incident with a potential employer.
:13:50. > :13:51.He mentioned that he is actually recruiting someone for
:13:52. > :13:56.It would involve travelling to China, Japan.
:13:57. > :13:59.It was probably my dream job, I'd say.
:14:00. > :14:03.He said to me he'll read through the CV and he'll get back to me.
:14:04. > :14:05.We exchanged numbers and that was that.
:14:06. > :14:08.A few days later, "Ahmed" received a text message from the man
:14:09. > :14:22.Wow, this could be a "yes' for me, until I opened the text.
:14:23. > :14:28."My previous dislike of Islam has now hardened into real hate.
:14:29. > :14:30."That false and decadent religion now threatens our society."
:14:31. > :14:34.This person with so much hatred, he's got my address,
:14:35. > :14:39.I wasn't sleeping, eating was downhill,
:14:40. > :14:46.It was only after I got the police involved I slowly felt a bit safe.
:14:47. > :14:50.Muslim men, like Ahmed, are 76% less likely to be
:14:51. > :14:53.employed than their white Christian counterparts.
:14:54. > :15:00.Growing numbers claim they are barred from work due to prejudice.
:15:01. > :15:04.There's a perception of Muslim employees being considered disloyal,
:15:05. > :15:06.considered to be political, their appearances sometimes are read
:15:07. > :15:11.as them being fundamentalist and it's leading to a significant
:15:12. > :15:22.number of Muslim employees being discriminated against.
:15:23. > :15:24.Nabila is a barrister who represents Muslims taking legal
:15:25. > :15:31.She believes that prejudice against Muslims in the job market
:15:32. > :15:33.has escalated dramatically in the last 15 years.
:15:34. > :15:36.Every time there is a terrorist incident what you will see
:15:37. > :15:43.is there is a growth in mistreatment of employees.
:15:44. > :15:46.There have been a spate of these cases, since 7/7 and more recently,
:15:47. > :15:58.It's two weeks since we began our experiment to discover if having
:15:59. > :16:04.a Muslim name harms your chances of getting work.
:16:05. > :16:06.Our job-seekers are applying for the same positions
:16:07. > :16:12.They have sent out 50 applications each and Adam has already received
:16:13. > :16:18.I have a few offers to consider right now, so I will get back
:16:19. > :16:23.There have been no calls for Mohamed.
:16:24. > :16:30.But, there are still another 50 vacancies to apply for.
:16:31. > :16:31.In Britain, there is a well-established tradition
:16:32. > :16:34.where Muslims and Asians have modified their names in order
:16:35. > :16:36.to improve their chances on the job market.
:16:37. > :16:38.Some Muslims have even been forced by their bosses
:16:39. > :16:43.I had a student job where the employer looked
:16:44. > :16:46.at my name and said "oh, that won't do".
:16:47. > :16:48.He said "introduce yourself as Terry Miles,
:16:49. > :17:08.Some 30 years later and Fayaz, a young Muslim trying
:17:09. > :17:10.to start his career, believes little has changed.
:17:11. > :17:14.Since childhood, I always wanted to pursue a religious education
:17:15. > :17:17.as a profession and I have done anything everything that I can
:17:18. > :17:19.to make sure, you know, I get the qualifications necessary
:17:20. > :17:25.I applied to over 30 different state schools since January 2014
:17:26. > :17:32.and I have never been short listed for any interview.
:17:33. > :17:35.Since then I changed my name to Harry, there were changes
:17:36. > :17:46.It is three months since our job seekers each applied
:17:47. > :17:55.Adam here got 12 positive responses and four inquiries
:17:56. > :18:02.And Mohamed only got four positive responses,
:18:03. > :18:12.What we've identified very clearly is that the Muslim-sounding person
:18:13. > :18:14.CV is only likely to get an interview in one
:18:15. > :18:24.Our research is based on a small sample of responses but it does
:18:25. > :18:29.indicate a pattern of prejudice against Muslims in the UK workforce.
:18:30. > :18:31.Some organisations are trialling name-blind CVs, which stop
:18:32. > :18:36.recruitment officers making unfair judgments.
:18:37. > :18:37.But unemployed chartered surveyor Khalil Ur Rahman
:18:38. > :18:45.I have seen many people who are less skilled than me but have risen up
:18:46. > :18:48.into more senior management positions, much faster and much
:18:49. > :18:56.An application from a candidate like myself, at that early stage,
:18:57. > :18:59.sometimes they don't reveal the name of the person.
:19:00. > :19:02.But clearly when you walk into an interview, it is quite
:19:03. > :19:11.apparent that you are not going to be John Smith.
:19:12. > :19:15.High levels of unemployment are having a devastating effect
:19:16. > :19:18.on Islamic communities across the capital.
:19:19. > :19:20.More than half of Muslim households are in poverty,
:19:21. > :19:31.Changing this will require equal access to jobs.
:19:32. > :19:48.They played their first ever gig at this pub. After 15 years on the
:19:49. > :19:53.road, rock legends Black Sabbath have their last ever to. Fittingly
:19:54. > :19:59.Birmingham. We sent Nick Owen to Birmingham. We sent Nick Owen to
:20:00. > :20:06.meet the band. It has to come to an end at some point. It is going to be
:20:07. > :20:13.sad this is the last show, but good we are Robert the top of our game. I
:20:14. > :20:19.am sad, but I think it is time. I can't imagine doing anything else,
:20:20. > :20:24.it has been an amazing journey. Too many people they are like gods.
:20:25. > :20:29.Until they arrived, the sound was not heard. Great to see them
:20:30. > :20:39.together one last time and in their hometown. Fallout two came together
:20:40. > :20:43.in 1968 to form Black Sabbath. 70 million record sales and a Grammy
:20:44. > :20:50.later, they have decided to call it a day. It all started in Birmingham.
:20:51. > :20:58.This is the street where Ozzy Osbourne lived and then around the
:20:59. > :21:06.corner you find where built and Geezer work, and beyond that is
:21:07. > :21:08.Tony. For talents growing up a few streets apart, who would've thought
:21:09. > :21:15.they would go one to the world on fire? This is rare footage of the
:21:16. > :21:24.band's first ever gig at a park in band's first ever gig at a park in
:21:25. > :21:27.central Birmingham in 1968. How does they band that has done everything
:21:28. > :21:36.sign of? They go back home, of course. Timing is always in my
:21:37. > :21:42.heart. -- Birmingham. I love going into the beloved. It is where we
:21:43. > :21:46.started. The whole world is going back to Birmingham. It sounds like
:21:47. > :21:53.the obvious choice but it nearly didn't work out. When this tour was
:21:54. > :21:57.first bricked it finished in South America. I said to the manager, we
:21:58. > :22:07.cannot finish in South America, we need to do Birmingham. That is
:22:08. > :22:12.something this Black Sabbath fan is delighted about. I am really looking
:22:13. > :22:19.forward to it. I have butterflies and I'm nervous and I'm anticipating
:22:20. > :22:25.it. I cannot wait to be there and to get in the arena and feel the
:22:26. > :22:28.atmosphere. Chris Hopkins has seen the band plays 70 times and has
:22:29. > :22:35.travelled the world to feed his obsession. I want to know what
:22:36. > :22:40.found out they were from Birmingham found out they were from Birmingham
:22:41. > :22:46.I was captivated. I was captured by it. I never looked back. But
:22:47. > :22:52.Birmingham is not just the band's home city. It goes deeper than that,
:22:53. > :22:58.Birmingham affected the whole sound of Black Sabbath and it all happens
:22:59. > :23:02.by accident. If you do not know much about the history of Black Sabbath,
:23:03. > :23:09.you need to know something about Tony's finger. Before they hit the
:23:10. > :23:16.big time, the band members all had day jobs. One member nearly lost his
:23:17. > :23:22.career before it started. I was a welder and I was going to leave the
:23:23. > :23:26.job on that day. I went home for lunch and I said to my mum that I
:23:27. > :23:32.was not going to go when that afternoon, I have finished. She said
:23:33. > :23:38.to go back in and finish properly. OK. I went back to work. You have to
:23:39. > :23:44.push the sheet metal in and the guillotine comes down. I'm putting
:23:45. > :23:53.my hand in it and it came down, bangs. It took the end of two
:23:54. > :23:59.fingers. The doctor said he would never play guitar again. He not only
:24:00. > :24:03.played guitar, he invented a new sound. He could not bend the strings
:24:04. > :24:12.properly because his fingers were cut off. He used to make little
:24:13. > :24:20.thimbles out of fairy liquid bottles, put them over his fingers
:24:21. > :24:27.while they were still molten and until that the top. -- and then put
:24:28. > :24:36.leather on top. I don't know how he played like that. It took some
:24:37. > :24:41.ingenuity to take the pressure off his fragile fingertips. He made his
:24:42. > :24:52.guitar strings slacker and invented a new sound. I thought of heaviness.
:24:53. > :24:55.He was a brilliant player and he played in a different way which
:24:56. > :25:02.created something no one had heard before. A new sound needed a new
:25:03. > :25:06.name. Although the band initially did not like the time, one music
:25:07. > :25:14.journalist came up with the phrase heavy metal. It stuck and a musical
:25:15. > :25:18.movement was born. The name heavy-metal did not exist before
:25:19. > :25:23.Black Sabbath, they are heavy metal and this is embedded in Birmingham.
:25:24. > :25:28.But does the city gives them the due date desire? Although they have
:25:29. > :25:34.stars on the walk of Fame at Ozzy Osbourne has a tram named in his
:25:35. > :25:38.honour. Some people do not think it is enough. We started the
:25:39. > :25:44.heavy-metal project in 2007 because we realise that people want to come
:25:45. > :25:51.here to see the home of Black Sabbath and other bands, but there
:25:52. > :25:55.was nothing to come and see. You step off the train in Liverpool and
:25:56. > :26:01.everywhere you look you will see something related to the Beatles.
:26:02. > :26:05.That is great because that is a city embracing its heritage. When you
:26:06. > :26:09.step off the train heard you see those signifiers and there are no
:26:10. > :26:15.obvious landmarks for people to come and pay tribute. That is a travesty.
:26:16. > :26:22.There is no monument to the band 's, but if there was it should be here
:26:23. > :26:27.on summer Lane. It was here that Tony lost his fingertips working in
:26:28. > :26:33.a factory. Surely there should be a blue plaque here at least. Last week
:26:34. > :26:41.fans from all over the world flock to Birmingham to see the final
:26:42. > :26:48.concert. We came from Israel. We knew we had to be here for the last
:26:49. > :26:54.show. We come from Germany. We are coming from France for Black Sabbath
:26:55. > :27:01.because they are big fans. The fans came to Birmingham from near and
:27:02. > :27:09.far, and when the time finally came the band did not disappoint. What
:27:10. > :27:22.did our fans make of it all? It was a great show. They were on top form.
:27:23. > :27:27.The crowd went absolutely bonkers. It was a night of mixed emotion as
:27:28. > :27:35.Black Sabbath said goodbye forever. The tour was called The End, and
:27:36. > :27:43.that sounds pretty final. But is it really all over? I am not doing it
:27:44. > :27:50.again. I think it is the end. People will remember us from these shows.
:27:51. > :27:54.They are not going to see us again. We are not going to do any more
:27:55. > :28:02.tours, at least I am not. I would not rule of -- rule out doing a one
:28:03. > :28:06.off shore or something. So there is some hope for Black Sabbath fans.
:28:07. > :28:14.Perhaps if it does happen, they will be back in Birmingham Sunday. I wish
:28:15. > :28:23.I got to meet the band. Do not forget we are on iPlayer and
:28:24. > :28:36.Twitter. You can also e-mail me. That is everything from tonight.
:28:37. > :28:41.Goodbye. Next week we reveal how one leading supermarket special offer is
:28:42. > :29:00.not always what they seem. That is at 6:30pm. -- 7:30pm.
:29:01. > :29:03.Hello, I'm Riz Lateef with your 90-second update.
:29:04. > :29:06.Overcrowded - the number of patients on wards in England have been
:29:07. > :29:09.at unsafe levels in nine out of ten hospitals this winter.
:29:10. > :29:14.NHS bosses said there were problems discharging frail patients.
:29:15. > :29:18.More controversy over President Trump's visit to the UK.
:29:19. > :29:22.The Speaker of the House of Commons said he didn't
