:02:52. > :02:56.sports accessible to only the few. The first Games he will berated the
:02:56. > :03:02.intrinsic virtue of sport. The Olympics, a leveler, ignoring,
:03:02. > :03:09.class, colour or creed. Crucial then, the spirit of taking part of
:03:09. > :03:18.participation. But are the Olympics, as merocratic as they seem in will

:03:41. > :03:45.the Olympics is as elitist as they come. The Frenchman, barren Pierre
:03:45. > :03:52.may have created the modern Olympics, but many sports were not
:03:52. > :03:59.accessible or popular, but they're dramatically overreacted with
:03:59. > :04:07.medals. There's 14 medals in Roweing, but two in basketball. The
:04:07. > :04:12.world, has moved on. This is a game played in south-east
:04:12. > :04:19.Asia, it is easy to learn, and wildly popular, like its Indian
:04:20. > :04:24.neighbour, it is completely ignored by the IOC. These Games may sound
:04:24. > :04:32.jaring in our ears but played by millions. In global terms, sports
:04:32. > :04:39.that are far more popular than say, dressage, hardly get a look in. And
:04:39. > :04:44.in that sense the Olympics have advantage and entrench advantage
:04:44. > :04:53.between nations. In too many cases it is too many children, thinking,
:04:53. > :04:56.taking part in sport just isn't for them. We've got to change that.
:04:56. > :05:02.Cameron's Eton, won more Gold Medals in Beijing than the withhold
:05:03. > :05:08.of India, and the rest of Britain, so well, so far in London 201, with
:05:08. > :05:11.private schools 7% have won 44% of Britain's medals. This is not to
:05:11. > :05:19.decry private schools, but it is to question the idea, that anyone can
:05:19. > :05:23.rise to the top, if they try hard enough. This isn't Eton. It is a
:05:23. > :05:27.school in Tower Hamlets, which hasn't much of a pedigree in show
:05:27. > :05:32.juching, but they still first to produce winners, and with far fewer
:05:32. > :05:36.resources. The facilities are limited. We are
:05:36. > :05:41.inner-city London, and we do not have football fields outside the
:05:41. > :05:46.school. As a result rev a hall, which as you can see, is not too
:05:46. > :05:50.extensive. We have in this particular case, eight tennis
:05:50. > :05:54.tables. You can get a sport with a lot of people to play in a small
:05:54. > :05:59.space. The greenhouse charity works across inner-city London. I
:05:59. > :06:02.occasionally work with them and seen the impact their coaches have
:06:02. > :06:09.in tearing down the obstacles that stand between poorer kids and
:06:09. > :06:12.benefits of sport. They act as coaches, and mentors.
:06:12. > :06:17.Instilling values that extend beyond the sports hall, starting
:06:17. > :06:23.with basics like attendance. I was going like, once or twice a
:06:23. > :06:28.week last year, and then, just went downhill. And then, when table
:06:28. > :06:34.tennis came along, I was coming every day of the week, because I
:06:34. > :06:39.play table tennis after school. What has that done for your school
:06:39. > :06:45.work? Improved it, because I'm in school. There's nothing else to do,
:06:45. > :06:48.and you're not playing table tennis, so you might as well learn. Are you
:06:48. > :06:52.we missing a strick strick the logic is to inspire a new
:06:52. > :07:01.generation of kids, to take up sports, with all the social benefit,
:07:01. > :07:05.that brings. But how on earth are kids supposed to take on rowing or
:07:05. > :07:09.sailing or equestrianism, if they wanted to. If the sport isn't the
:07:09. > :07:16.level playing field we think it is, what does it say about other areas
:07:16. > :07:20.of British life? In the sports we've doing so well in in the
:07:20. > :07:24.Olympic Games, you need a huge amount of resource and coaching to
:07:24. > :07:29.help you. That's the same in Britain, if you look at professions
:07:29. > :07:33.and academia, it is a real issue in this country. We have a society N
:07:33. > :07:39.the UK, where your family background, no the individual
:07:40. > :07:46.talent determine largely where you end up.
:07:46. > :07:51.# Some people think I'm bonkers # London 2012, talks of the diversity
:07:51. > :07:57.of modern Britain, yet it is as difficult to break into sporting
:07:57. > :08:07.eleets as it's ever been. Society that perpetuates entrenched
:08:07. > :08:10.
:08:10. > :08:16.advantage, is never going to be as successful that is meritocratic.
:08:16. > :08:20.Fatima Whitbread, James Cracknell and Baroness Campbell is with us,
:08:20. > :08:24.and chairs a schools sports trust. Fatima Whitbread you look how well
:08:24. > :08:30.we're doing. If we spent money on sports that
:08:30. > :08:33.were accessible to all, and these involve Olympic forts, would we do
:08:33. > :08:38.better? I would like to say this, nobody in their wildest dreams
:08:38. > :08:42.would have ever imagineed the amount of success we've had in 2012,
:08:42. > :08:45.so congratulations to all those and the leeths. What worries me, one of
:08:45. > :08:50.the most important things that comes out of this, is we're trying
:08:50. > :08:54.to inspire the next generation of youth. Thereof, what concerns me is
:08:55. > :08:58.this a sudden influx of young people coming into sports, clubs
:08:58. > :09:03.and schools, will struggle. And the Government had long enough to think
:09:03. > :09:06.about this, in terms of putting more funds in and into the
:09:06. > :09:11.structure and infrastructure and help it develop partnerships with
:09:11. > :09:16.the schools, and the clubs. There are a lot of specialised events
:09:16. > :09:21.that the schools can't cope with, and hope for the partnership of the
:09:21. > :09:25.clubs, which is a voluntary sector. You make the big funding decisions,
:09:25. > :09:30.am I right they're based on excellence. If rowing, does
:09:30. > :09:34.brilliantly, you will put more money into rowing. If sailing does
:09:34. > :09:40.good, you will put more in. If you put money into the kind of stuff
:09:41. > :09:44.that allows children to compete, and to grow, you're going to get
:09:45. > :09:50.rewards from that, don't just go with what is delivering gold?
:09:50. > :09:56.have to understand the structure. UK Sport isn't the only body that
:09:56. > :10:00.funds sport. There's Sport England, Wales and Northern Ireland, that
:10:00. > :10:03.participation. I call it the Formula One end of sport, it is to
:10:03. > :10:07.take those people who are talented and ensure they have everything
:10:07. > :10:10.around them to give them the best chance of world class success. What
:10:10. > :10:16.you're seeing is ten years of very hard work to create a high
:10:16. > :10:19.performance system in this country, using Lottery, and xeck ker money
:10:19. > :10:25.that is resulting great results across a range of sports, not just
:10:25. > :10:29.in a few selected sport. In sports the charge of elitism could be
:10:29. > :10:35.directed at these sports, for example in rowing and sailing,
:10:35. > :10:39.you're a big rower, you rowed, an independent school, do you think
:10:40. > :10:44.you had a natural advantage? Natural advantage in terms I went
:10:44. > :10:50.to a school that rowed, the same way, if I wanted to play rugby, I
:10:50. > :10:54.guess it was disadvantage, because the school went rowing, because
:10:54. > :11:00.someone got injured in rugby and they stopped it. I think it is
:11:00. > :11:06.elitism is one thing. What it does give you is that I was lucky enough,
:11:06. > :11:13.because of a good education, that I could take the gamble of saying,
:11:14. > :11:17.I'll see if I can go to the Olympics, and then fall back... I
:11:17. > :11:21.went to debt, but still thought there's education to fall back on,
:11:21. > :11:27.which is different from saying, I have to go to work straightaway.
:11:27. > :11:33.Who is going to get to row, kids in Hackney, are not going to be, able
:11:33. > :11:38.to even get a foot in the boat? I accept the statement you're
:11:38. > :11:44.making, but as it happens, rowing, are working exceptionally hard to
:11:44. > :11:48.trying to provide a whole range to provide access of rowing. They're a
:11:48. > :11:52.huge range of activities in schools, where they're using a rowing,
:11:52. > :11:56.machines, they're doing come and try activities, and they would say,
:11:56. > :12:04.clearly, the balance of people in rowing, is changing.
:12:04. > :12:09.You got to be near a river, for a start. Or a canal. But, in terms of
:12:09. > :12:15.rowing, clubs, which are better rather than skools schools, are
:12:15. > :12:20.cheaper to join than a gym. Don't mean rowing, means anything else.
:12:20. > :12:24.Let's take equestrianism, mill field school has a whole equest
:12:24. > :12:28.treeian centre, we should support that, if that's one of the sports
:12:29. > :12:33.in the Olympics, you want to do as well as you can? There are two
:12:33. > :12:38.different issues, one is do we want to maximise the medals, Team GB
:12:38. > :12:43.wins, and we've done that magnificently well. And sap sue has
:12:43. > :12:51.been involved in that class. The disconnect comes when we look at
:12:51. > :12:57.the rationale for public investment in the elite sport. The ration 58
:12:57. > :13:00.is it will have benefits, the Olympic programme have high entry
:13:00. > :13:03.costs, which are incredibly expensive for people to get
:13:03. > :13:07.involved with. Even if they wanted to get involved in dressage,
:13:07. > :13:12.showjumping, they won't be able to do it. The UK Sport which has one
:13:12. > :13:17.responsibility and without going through the quangos, sporting has
:13:17. > :13:21.the other, there's a disconnect between the rationals. Do you
:13:21. > :13:25.accept It depends whether you want to inspire a generation using sport
:13:25. > :13:29.as a tool. We've done a programme called international inspiration,
:13:29. > :13:34.which is the international legacy from London 2012, where where we
:13:34. > :13:38.worked in 20 developing countries, to tackle the broader social issues
:13:38. > :13:45.in the communities. So it isn't always that what you're doing is
:13:45. > :13:47.inspiring them to take up cycling. Surely that's the way that children,
:13:47. > :13:53.the way children understand excellence is to become better and
:13:53. > :13:58.better and better, in a sport. can they get better, when you're
:13:58. > :14:02.taking away the playing fields, and currently the 12 boroughs,
:14:02. > :14:07.surrounding the stadium, are playing on carparks. Funds for
:14:07. > :14:12.school sports as well. A lot of the unfortunately, it falls upon the
:14:12. > :14:17.schools, as it always does, to provide that level of expertise.
:14:17. > :14:20.Most of the specialised events can't be taught at schools. Usually
:14:20. > :14:24.what happens in the curriculum, there's not enough sport on the
:14:24. > :14:29.cuck limb, it only figures, or actually, concentrates on the
:14:29. > :14:34.different seasons, and probably days, two weeks, before the actual
:14:34. > :14:39.sport day, or cross-country, there's not enough, I don't think.
:14:39. > :14:44.The volunteerism. The Olympics should be about, is
:14:44. > :14:49.forming elite sport is one thing. In terms of the legacy to get
:14:49. > :14:55.people more physically active. That's is the bomb that is waiting
:14:55. > :14:59.to hit us. The physical active, to become, more active, the diabetes
:14:59. > :15:04.time bomb that will whack us, can be avoided. So, if you take,
:15:04. > :15:10.investing money into sport, if you think, the Beijing Olympics, no
:15:10. > :15:16.European or caw caseian got a medal in track, from 100 metres up to the
:15:16. > :15:19.Marathon. It is not amount of money, Mo Farah has changed that, but he
:15:19. > :15:22.has a different background. It is about getting people into
:15:23. > :15:31.physically active. And changing a social thing. You accept the way to
:15:31. > :15:36.do that, is to make sport, a centre, key thing in the curriculum to give
:15:36. > :15:42.facilities for children to enjoy sport. A lot of schools, don't have
:15:42. > :15:45.facilities, and demand, depend so much on volunteers don't they?
:15:45. > :15:50.Secondary schools have physical education teachers, but after
:15:50. > :15:56.school sport, that's a challenge. There is a bigger, and I agree
:15:56. > :16:00.entirely with you two, there's a bigger issue. Do you want
:16:00. > :16:04.Government to do more at primary schools? That's where we capture
:16:04. > :16:11.kids' imagination, inspiration, where we give them a chance, to be
:16:11. > :16:15.really activity. And Fatima to do that, we have specialist teachers,
:16:15. > :16:21.we we don't have that in our primary schools. Our kids, deserve
:16:21. > :16:28.the right to be as physically literate as they are in school.
:16:28. > :16:35.What does the Government say when you ask for more money? I don't do
:16:35. > :16:39.that for UK Sport. Is there beyond the UK. Olympics presents itself as
:16:39. > :16:44.global and inclusive mercratic institution, James picks out
:16:44. > :16:50.athletics, where medals are distributed around the world and
:16:50. > :16:55.low cost. But where is the Asian sports, they're wonderful, highly
:16:55. > :16:59.popular. We're having rugby sevens, and golf in Rio. I'm afraid I'm
:16:59. > :17:03.going to stop you there. We have to move on and continue this
:17:03. > :17:08.conversation, Jessica Ennis, Mo Farah, Louis Smith, diverse ethic
:17:08. > :17:13.backgrounds of the Olympians, have hailed some Team GB has embadment
:17:13. > :17:16.of the multi-kurlttuerl nation. Back when the bid was launched, the
:17:16. > :17:23.ethic diversity was one of the documents key selling points. How
:17:23. > :17:33.many of the pledges made in the bid to encourage diversity has been
:17:33. > :17:45.
:17:45. > :17:51.# I can feel my soul ascending # Thanks to the city's diversity,
:17:51. > :18:01.there will be supporters from every Olympic nation, every athlete will
:18:01. > :18:09.
:18:09. > :18:16.If, like me, you fancy shooting hoops on the court in that video,
:18:16. > :18:20.forget about it. It is not there any more. What of the proud claims
:18:20. > :18:26.we heard about diversity and inclusiveness, way back when the UK
:18:26. > :18:30.won the bid for the Games. According to official documents,
:18:30. > :18:36.London 01 was committed to ensuring the business opportunities provided
:18:36. > :18:41.by the Games, as spread as widely and fairly as possible. And, to
:18:41. > :18:51.getting more black, Asian, and minority ethic people involved in
:18:51. > :19:00.
:19:00. > :19:10.All right, come on, work the back. This gym in it west London has
:19:10. > :19:10.
:19:10. > :19:15.produced many title-winning boxers, including former British middle
:19:15. > :19:20.weight champ. Now it is under threat for closure for lack of
:19:20. > :19:30.money. Another prospect is 14-year- old, Vladimir Ndeda. His mum's
:19:30. > :19:36.Ukrainian, his dad's Kenyan, and he's all Londoner. Vladimir has
:19:36. > :19:40.been watching the boxing in the Games, and hope to go to Rio.
:19:40. > :19:46.you see people from your area, or new generation, you think that
:19:46. > :19:52.could be me one day, so you try to get to that position. Boxing is an

:20:02. > :20:04.
:20:04. > :20:09.Mr Akay has been running this gym for almost 40 years, but he's
:20:09. > :20:13.struggling to keep it open, through fund raising appeals and the modest
:20:13. > :20:16.subs he charges his young contenders. Are you getting any
:20:16. > :20:24.backing from the Olympics people? No we haven't. That's one thing,
:20:24. > :20:28.which I find it very difficult to understand. I think, the Olympics,
:20:28. > :20:32.you concentrate from the grass roots, where people like these boys
:20:32. > :20:38.come from, and the clubs, and institutions like ours, I help them
:20:38. > :20:43.to encourage us to keep these boys ready for the Olympics, or whatever.
:20:43. > :20:48.So far, we haven't got any, they didn't even have a look at what is
:20:48. > :20:53.going on. Have you tried contacting them, and saying, we're here, we
:20:53. > :20:58.could do with some money? amount of boxers, we have this year,
:20:58. > :21:06.I don't want to beg for anything. They should be coming to us, to say
:21:06. > :21:12.for what you're doing, you deserve this, and help us to keep on going
:21:12. > :21:17.Ladies, would you like to try one of our new sandwiches.
:21:17. > :21:24.What about that pledge to give ethic minority businesses, a taste
:21:24. > :21:30.of those sweet Olympic contracts? This firm from London's gar nayian
:21:30. > :21:34.community, applied for VIP meals and feed some athletes. When the
:21:34. > :21:39.Olympics came along, we thought grab the opportunity, present
:21:39. > :21:43.ourselves in a positive light, where, we're a well respected
:21:43. > :21:48.business, we have big corporate clients, let's do this. We actually
:21:48. > :21:52.felt we could get even one little contract. Nothing came through.
:21:52. > :21:57.Part of me feels, perhaps, it was never intended for small business
:21:57. > :22:03.to get contracts. It was almost like, let do something to look like
:22:03. > :22:08.we're doing something about it, a situation to ensure people feel
:22:08. > :22:14.involved, or, they have the chance, a small chance, that's kind of the
:22:14. > :22:18.impression I get. They didn't really mean it? And there was no
:22:18. > :22:22.follow through or intention almost. Fewer than 7% of contracts have

:23:19. > :23:25.film, but they told us no-one was available. ODA says it played an
:23:25. > :23:32.active role and engage in black, Asian and ethic minorities. Locog,
:23:33. > :23:36.said it exceeded the targets it set itself. I'm joined by Diane Abbott,
:23:36. > :23:41.whose constituency borders the Olympic Park. Does it look like
:23:41. > :23:45.that way to you? The Olympics are fantastic, the athletes, Opening
:23:45. > :23:51.Ceremony, all the wonderful volunteers, reflect the diversity
:23:51. > :23:58.of the area. Unfortunately, when it comes to jobs, and contracts, the
:23:58. > :24:03.people of the East End were let down. Locog, say they met targets,
:24:03. > :24:08.they were derisory. All this was said under the Labour Government.
:24:08. > :24:12.Do you think they didn't try hard, saying we want to enforce this
:24:12. > :24:17.point was the targets were set under a different mayor. A mayor
:24:17. > :24:21.who had a key role to play in this. What is striking, it is not just
:24:21. > :24:25.the lack of people getting jobs and contracts, it is the real issues is
:24:25. > :24:30.the low number of local people getting jobs and contracts. That's
:24:30. > :24:37.what underlice it. Did you try and do anything about this? I met with
:24:37. > :24:43.Ken, months after 2005, I met with the ODA, Ken was very committed, to
:24:43. > :24:49.putting pressure on the ODA and Locog, when you had a change of
:24:49. > :24:54.mayor, diversity is not his issue. If it delivered, not only the Games,
:24:54. > :25:00.but buildings, and facilities, on time, on budget, and to a high
:25:00. > :25:05.quality, will that in itself, not bring industry and business? I was
:25:05. > :25:12.reading the document for Locog, they had a picture of the last big
:25:12. > :25:17.team of apprentices, around 77 of them. I counted, I think, five,
:25:17. > :25:26.black apprentices. Whatever they say, the failure to get local kids,
:25:26. > :25:33.apprenticeships was scandalous. know it is not just territory, but
:25:33. > :25:37.you must have concerns over black and Asian and ethic minority
:25:37. > :25:40.business owners. I'm not in a position to comment. Obviously, I
:25:40. > :25:45.know that there has been a commitment on everybody's part to
:25:45. > :25:49.try and do that. But I'm no expert on that. You're saying clearly, you
:25:49. > :25:54.don't think Locog, made that commitment. The figures speak for
:25:54. > :26:00.themselves. Less than 20% of employees, on the Olympic Park,
:26:00. > :26:08.came from the five surrounding boroughs. Locog paid lip service.
:26:08. > :26:12.Looking now at both the question of for example the lucky star Jim, the
:26:12. > :26:17.- gym, now we have women's boxing in the Olympics, that fundamental
:26:17. > :26:23.support has not been there. You heard him say, 40 years and they're
:26:23. > :26:27.struggling to carry on. With the upsurgeon of boxing that needs to
:26:27. > :26:33.be addressed? There are hidden barriers, for economically
:26:33. > :26:37.disvainged to get into sport and he can sell, decent equipment and
:26:37. > :26:42.coaching, bordering the prospective a little. What about the
:26:42. > :26:48.professions, if the state needs to get involved, to ensure access, to
:26:48. > :26:53.elite sport, how much more for elite proprofessions. You are
:26:53. > :26:57.talking not the idea of sport for all, but competition for all. We
:26:58. > :27:01.need to get that engendered for all. This is a sense of belonging for
:27:01. > :27:05.your young children. We have a lot to be grateful for, the voluntary
:27:05. > :27:08.sector and what they do. We shouldn't have to rely on them, but
:27:08. > :27:13.we do. A lot of the children could be on the streets, involved in
:27:13. > :27:16.crime, drugs, and there could be a whole lot more issues going on.
:27:16. > :27:21.First and foremost, it is important we have the facilities, and
:27:21. > :27:25.voluntary services to help them. As I said, earlier, the schools, and
:27:25. > :27:28.the clubs coming together in partnership is important. But the
:27:28. > :27:31.ideology is really what's missing within the schools. What's wrong
:27:31. > :27:35.with being competitive, and what's wrong with winning, at the end of
:27:35. > :27:40.the day, this is what it is all about. Life is competitive. This
:27:40. > :27:45.idea that Hackney kids, and Hackney schools don't encourage competitive
:27:45. > :27:50.sports, is foolish. Before they started building, you would
:27:50. > :27:55.literally, hundreds of Hackney and East End children, being massively
:27:55. > :28:02.competitive on football. We have rowing, clubs, the issue isn't that
:28:02. > :28:12.Hackney kids don't want to compete. The problem is access to fassifplts
:28:12. > :28:16.Left-leaning, LEAs: I'm interested in a charity that funds, community
:28:16. > :28:20.sports clubs, the problem is the schools shut the gates and there is
:28:20. > :28:24.no place for the kids to go. So there are enough community sports
:28:24. > :28:28.clubs, which like the boxing gym, will give them discipline, a
:28:28. > :28:38.purpose, and social crime in the area around them reduces. You need
:28:38. > :28:41.to have a place. I have to saifplt The biggest
:28:41. > :28:45.punishment is... Thank you very much. I'm sure we'll return to this.
:28:45. > :28:49.Tomorrow, we'll be looking at another Olympic pledge that the

:30:13. > :30:17.The ADFS allegiance 60,000 transactions, are at issue and the

:30:26. > :30:30.of its flagrantly deceptive actions. It got its hands on internal e-

:30:48. > :30:52.That type of industrial language, and alleged unethical behaviour is

:31:02. > :31:02.
:31:02. > :31:10.one of the few ethical banks left. The institution said it is only UK
:31:10. > :31:17.institution most ethical worldwide. The bank refuteed the allegations
:31:17. > :31:27.says 99.9% of its transactions were above bored and legal. It is maybe
:31:27. > :31:31.known as these transactions were known as U-turns, they were allowed
:31:31. > :31:37.to 2008, provided they weren't originateing from and ending up in
:31:38. > :31:43.Iran. It is said Standard Chartered falsified details relating to these
:31:43. > :31:48.transactions. Not everyone has lost faith. Standard & Poors, said it
:31:48. > :31:55.wouldn't affect the credit rating and brokers in vest tech, told the
:31:55. > :32:01.shares were still a buy. Standard Chartered has too strong a record
:32:01. > :32:05.to be dismissed on basis of allegations that we cannot verify.
:32:05. > :32:08.There are regulators involved in this, and there seems to be one
:32:08. > :32:13.this, and there seems to be one that which took this drastic view.
:32:13. > :32:16.We believe that the management is right, in defending its record, and
:32:17. > :32:21.we hope that clarity will be achieved very soon.
:32:21. > :32:25.Only last week, the Standard Chartered boss, Peter Sands,
:32:25. > :32:30.boasted how his bank was boring and predictable, he is a favourite to
:32:30. > :32:34.take over from the Bank of England. Finding a singiling banker or
:32:34. > :32:39.regulator with no smudges is proving impossible. Why is it once
:32:39. > :32:48.again the Americans are coming down hardest on British banks. A month
:32:48. > :32:53.ago was Barclays, and his his, having gamble money. They've had
:32:53. > :32:58.gambleism for hundreds of years, only we in 20 years have seen the
:32:58. > :33:02.banking sector go off the rails. And, so I think they've developed a
:33:02. > :33:07.rel effective set of regulators, that do the job properly, in the
:33:07. > :33:11.way ours don't. It is interesting the Americans rather than the local
:33:11. > :33:14.regulator, which appears to be exposing British banks, wrongdoing.
:33:14. > :33:18.The Americans are exasperated that the British watchdog was snoozeing
:33:18. > :33:22.rather than barking or biting. But the Americans are also, guilty of
:33:22. > :33:29.appearing to push their foreign policy on foreign countries, and
:33:29. > :33:33.companies. The US dollar is the delobl reserve currency, but should
:33:33. > :33:37.every transaction be related from New York or Washington. Fifplt
:33:37. > :33:42.allegations are proveen true, this is devastating. When you say
:33:42. > :33:46.devastating, could this destroy the bank as we know it? Credibility of
:33:46. > :33:52.the bank will be destroyed. The only way the bank in this operation,
:33:52. > :33:56.can survive is to root out, strip out all the problems, rebuild from
:33:56. > :34:00.ground zero and operate aid cording to strict controls. Standard
:34:00. > :34:04.Chartered could face formal charges this month. If found guilty could
:34:04. > :34:08.lose its banking licence in New York. But the real damage, would be
:34:08. > :34:14.on its global reputation, which may never recover.
:34:14. > :34:22.Here to discuss this latest blow to the City of London's reputation,
:34:22. > :34:26.are Mark verks erman who runs a advising bankers, and the editor of
:34:26. > :34:31.City AM, a question, do you think there's a sense which the Americans
:34:31. > :34:41.are out to get us? There is a sense amongst some in the City is that is
:34:41. > :34:42.
:34:42. > :34:49.the case. UK banks have made mistakes, but eurozone have too.
:34:49. > :34:52.Bad to think none of the problems originated there. In fact, the sub-
:34:52. > :34:57.prime crisis was American, Fannie Mae and many of the problems were
:34:57. > :35:00.from the US. Everybody is to blame for the crisis. This narrative that
:35:00. > :35:07.is projected by Americans, that all of the problems are from London is
:35:07. > :35:10.wrong. But, Mark, look at whose made the accusation, the New York
:35:10. > :35:14.State Department of finance, a little known organisation, and
:35:14. > :35:19.although different financial authorities, this one, has suddenly
:35:19. > :35:25.come up with the accusation, which of course, Standard Chartered,
:35:25. > :35:30.refute all but bar .1% of it? I find shocking is a organisation
:35:30. > :35:35.like this, New York state, enterity has brought a major case. 30,000
:35:35. > :35:39.document they've looked at, years to do the examination, and the
:35:39. > :35:42.investigation, these are extremely serious charges, they would never
:35:42. > :35:48.have laid the charges without a strong, underlying evidence of
:35:48. > :35:55.truth. What I find absolutely shocking, here, is the fact that
:35:55. > :36:01.three, extremely large British banks in a row, Barclays, his his,
:36:01. > :36:05.and now Standard Chartered, have demonstrated, lack of superprigs.
:36:05. > :36:14.You think it is justifiable as it were hunt? It is not a hunt, the
:36:14. > :36:15.evidence speaks for itself. Look at this language, from The New York
:36:15. > :36:22.State Department of Financial Service.
:36:22. > :36:27.Saying there's a result of this, a vulnerability to terrorists, drug
:36:27. > :36:33.King pins, corrupt regimes, this is a ramping up of language is it
:36:33. > :36:37.helpful? If you look language on page 20, where it says the CEO
:36:37. > :36:44.assured the deputy the bank was compliant in all matters, and they
:36:44. > :36:48.believed he lied to the examiners, here is a CEO... You had it coming,
:36:48. > :36:51.three failures, is what Mark is saying? This is a claim from
:36:51. > :36:55.effectively a prosecutor. The language is too over the stop and
:36:55. > :37:00.extreme. It sounds like a lirks, trying to make a point. I have no
:37:00. > :37:05.idea, the right and wrongs of this case F Standard Chartered did do
:37:05. > :37:11.wrong, they need to be penalised. It is not UK banks, but it involves
:37:11. > :37:19.up to 20 banks. But in terms of what is Standard Chartered, the
:37:19. > :37:23.immediate impact is the share price st? It collapsed by 25%, regulator
:37:23. > :37:27.accuses an institution of having done something, and immediately,
:37:27. > :37:33.the institution is penalised regardless of whether the full
:37:33. > :37:38.scale of what is claimed is true. disagree and it is missing the
:37:39. > :37:42.point. The point is two-and-a-half to three years investigation,
:37:42. > :37:50.30,000 documents, damning e-mails. Standard Chartered knew it was
:37:50. > :37:55.comeing Yes and the instructions came from London. All of the
:37:55. > :37:59.frauds: I am not defending chartered.. I'm not putting the
:37:59. > :38:03.case to the prosecution, I'm saying the sefdz so damning, it is
:38:03. > :38:09.difficult to say, how if at all, Standard Chartered could do
:38:09. > :38:15.anything whore other than attempt to soften the blow. The bigger
:38:15. > :38:21.story here is with HSBC, and now this, is that the damage it is
:38:21. > :38:26.doing to the probety as the world's major centre? It shows massive
:38:26. > :38:30.failures in British institutions, and regulatery failures, in the UK.
:38:30. > :38:34.My point is it is not and just UK that have failed, there's
:38:34. > :38:38.corruption all over the place in other countries and banks. Is this
:38:38. > :38:43.damaging London in particular? is damaging London, because what's
:38:43. > :38:48.happening is this type of tone at the top, this failure to supervise,
:38:48. > :38:52.and this type of behaviour, has been not looked at in Britain, but
:38:52. > :38:59.it is looked at elsewhere. And it is time for the UK regulators to
:38:59. > :39:04.wake up and get justice, top as the HSBC and these organisations, not
:39:04. > :39:12.only in British banks but every bank which break the law. Sthool

:39:52. > :39:59.didn't take that seriously, then, today they still don't. Not taking

:40:04. > :40:09.too, and nothing, not even dirty great reflections on window screens,

:43:29. > :43:36.gifts was engaging people in the idea of discussion about art?
:43:36. > :43:41.but he was he revelled in the juice of language. He had written poetry
:43:41. > :43:48.in his day, actually. And in some way, he actually turned this
:43:48. > :43:55.incredible, appetite for language, into a detackive instrument, into
:43:55. > :44:03.communication. What he hated, among the many things, Bob was a great
:44:03. > :44:08.hateer of the mertrirks and vain and nar cystic, and sank moan news,

:44:34. > :44:38.art bf you could actually earn, could get a yield of true greatness.
:44:38. > :44:44.Did he, where he did The Shock of the New, did he have a blind spot
:44:44. > :44:53.for concept actual art. For example, we can talk about the other artists,
:44:53. > :45:00.but also, what he decision liked, Joyce self Boys, he had no point of
