homeownership, the plan was all going so well. Or was it? Tonight | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
Newsnight reveals the official Government documents that show house | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
building is set to fall. We know now we have built more than 300,000 | :00:18. | :00:24. | |
houses, new houses in 1953. How will today's voters react to the news | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
that when it comes to housing they never had it so bad. Might they | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
blame the Government? Israel buries the three Israeli | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
teenagers they say were killed by ham marks what retaliation will | :00:36. | :00:42. | |
follow this. Israel's security cabinet is still | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
in session trying to decide how much of a response will satisfy its | :00:47. | :00:57. | |
public. Caitlin Moran's new novel, How To Be A Girl. I feel decidedly | :00:58. | :01:06. | |
would happen tonight and I stopped them. She's here to talk about sex, | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
sexism and getting her socio-political freak on. Who would | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
have thought 40 years ago we would all be sitting here doing Monty | :01:17. | :01:25. | |
Python! Is Monty Python still funny. We went to the opening night of the | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
sell-out reunion. We are going to see Monty Python who are | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
tremenduously still alive. Let's hope we make it back to the studio | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
in time, if not there will be an empty wheelchair and some blue suede | :01:39. | :01:46. | |
shoes. The dream of homeownership has been central to this | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
Government's policies, the Help to Buy scheme gave aid to thousands who | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
wanted to own their own place. But it was always accompanied by the | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
acknowledgement that concrete measure, more housing stock, was the | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
only real long-term answer. Now this programme has seen document that is | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
reveal the number of houses being built is set to decareer, highly | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
embarrassing for the Government, particularly as it is set to hid | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
hard in three months, just before the general election. As | :02:18. | :02:30. | |
The Prime Minister has a picture of this chap in his office, Harold | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
Macmillan, as a post-war Housing Minister he got 300,000 houses built | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
a year. Now under David Cameron houses are going up far from that | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
dizzy rate. This Government has put a lot of elbow degrees into getting | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
Britain building again. It has liberalised the planning laws | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
controversially, and put resources into the Help to Buy scheme, all in | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
the aim to help people own their own homes. But we have seen official | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
documents that in spite of all that work, next year, ahead of the | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
general election, the number of houses built goes down. | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
The leaked document shows what we know already, after the financial | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
crash, the number of housing starts did pick up over the course of the | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
parliament, it is the projections worrying insiders. The next set of | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
figures is expected to show a decrease in the number of houses | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
completed. House starts are projected to increase again, but the | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
figures out on the eve of the next general election are falling to | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
128,000, not good news, a gift, some in Government think for their | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
opponents. Just to say the Prime Minister is incredibly complacent, | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
house completions are at their lowest level since 1924. I know | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
doesn't like the fact, nearly 400,000 new homes delivered since | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
2010, housing starts in the last quarter were at their highest level | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
for five years. Housing starts are an interesting indicator, they tell | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
you about what is happening next, decisions being made now and what | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
builders think they are going to do next. At the point we are in the | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
housing cycle we need to be building a lot more homes than we are | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
currently building. Any decline is not ideal. Of course it is important | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
to put it in context, we need to be building about 250,000 homes a year, | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
we are currently building 150,000. Downing Street asked community | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
secretary, Eric Pickles to jump start house building, the leaked | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
document shows the 9,000 sites for 350,000 homes with full planning | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
permission, but that haven't started building yet, they should be | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
accelerated. It also singles out the council's failure to build | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
replacements for homes sold under Right To Buy. Politicians look silly | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
in hard hats, but you will see a lot more of it in the general election. | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
Promises will be made by all parties on house building. What worries the | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
coalition is that a decrease just before the election makes it harder | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
for them to made they have made concrete progress. That is a lot | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
more brickies getting bothered by politicians. As you mentioned it | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
hits hard in 2015, and according to the figures you have got, what is | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
the Government response to this tonight? They are accepting the | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
figures because they are not rebutting them at all. They are | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
talking about different figures. I think these documents are accurate | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
in the case. What they are pointing out, the Housing Minister said to | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
us, we have delivered 445,000 new homes over the past four years, | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
housing starts are at their highest since 2007. We are playing with | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
different scales, they have gone up according to the Prime Minister in | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
that clip, but the crucial thing is they will dip in the critical period | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
before a general election. In a parliament when you have spent so | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
much effort in getting things moving again, Conservatives and Liberal | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
Democrats. That is why this matters? It really matters because it is | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
about, we think the next election will be about the economic recovery, | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
and what type of recovery it is, and whether people are feeling it or | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
not. And for so many people it is about whether you can own your own | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
home. The prospect of owning your own home and what prices are doing | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
are linked. That is why it matters so much, because it is about the | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
feeling of the economic recovery and whether actually everyone is feeling | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
it. Thank you very much. Meanwhile a Labour peer and former visitor to Ed | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
Miliband, Lord Glassman, has accused the Labour leader of conformist | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
mediocrity, saying we have an England football team of a | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
Government and the reserves are no better. Labour's reports into | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
spending, and devolution is proving fashionable now and they are all at | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
it. It didn't stop everyone telling Labour they have got their figures | :06:39. | :06:46. | |
wrong. We got to the bottom of it. # Stop me stop me | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
This might look like a City, but it is also a political battleground. | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
I'm here to talk to you about what we can do to make the cities of the | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
north a powerhouse for our economy again. With new transport and | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
science and powerful city governance. That the way we solve | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
these questions I'm talking about is with local people making local | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
decisions, with local businesses about how their area can grow, | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
prosper and create the jobs of the future. | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
In the past week the parties have been arguing about who has the best | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
plan to turn around the northern economy. Today Labour published a | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
growth plan by former cabinet minister Lord Adonis. Last week the | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
Chancellor was here in Manchester, talking about how to build a | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
northern powerhouse economy. Today Ed Miliband is over in Leeds talking | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
about much the same kind of thing. All of the parties now agree, we | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
need to rebalance our economy. More jobs and growth, in places like | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
this, and today, it seems, they also agree that one way to achieve that | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
is to devolve more power and money to local Government. Like Manchester | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
City Council over here. But it wasn't just Lord Adoni's is's | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
policies creating news today, there was a battle over statistics. The | :08:18. | :08:25. | |
Adonis review claims that net sector jobs have been created in London. | :08:26. | :08:43. | |
Using a more conventional approach means that 40% of net private sector | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
job creation has been in London, that is much bigger than London's | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
share of the population and does suggest a problem. But not as | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
shocking as the 80% claim. Economic output per head in the UK as a whole | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
is about ?22,000 a year. But that average masks huge regional | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
differences. In London it is up at ?37,000 per head, in the south-east | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
of England, it is ?23,000. Outside of London and the south-east it is | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
much lower. Across the north it is half the level of London. There are | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
significant problems Andrews regional imbalance, the real problem | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
is how to close the differences between Manchester and the | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
south-east, one way to do that could be for greater hours to be | :09:34. | :09:41. | |
controlled from Whitehall. A new system for business rates that is | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
raised locally and spent locally in the areas most in need. Once you | :09:45. | :09:57. | |
start to do that you shrink the gap in that. | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
Parties have been looking to Manchester for lessons? It has been | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
working very, very well but particularly over the last three | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
years, where we have set up the Greater Manchester Authority. We | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
have established the Greater Manchester Transport Fund and set up | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
a business growth hub that gives a one Topshop across the whole. We | :10:19. | :10:31. | |
have started to work on skills. None of this is new, politicians | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
have been grappling with how to boost growth outside of London for | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
decades. This is going to be the youth club this. You can't disco all | :10:39. | :10:47. | |
day! The north has been a relative economic decline for more than a | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
century. It will take more than mayors and faster rail links to turn | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
around a drain like that, the review contains 24 policy recommendations | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
and last week the Chancellor added a half-a-dozen of his own. | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
Individually none of them will achieve very much. But the hope is | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
that taken together they add up to more than the sum of their parts. | :11:09. | :11:17. | |
The policies in the Adonis review themselves have broadly been | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
welcomed by commerce and business today. But a row about statistics | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
has threatened to knock the report off its tracks. The author of the | :11:27. | :11:34. | |
report Lord Adonis is with us now. Thanks for coming in. Let's clear up | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
the figure, do you accept now in the clear light of day that your | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
statistics were wrong? No I don't accept they were wrong, there is | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
different data sets, the figures we were using in respect of job | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
creation outside London is a data set which refers to where jobs are | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
actually located, ONS survey is about where people live. They were | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
based on data that runs out in 2012? That is the last data published on | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
the data set. The other data set refers to where people live. What is | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
so striking from Duncan's report is which either of the data sets you | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
use, you can have an argument about which is the more appropriate, what | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
they show is that job growth has been disproportionately in London, | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
and if you take the wider south-east too, even more disproportionately | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
there too. The big issue which he raises is how do we get really | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
serious growth strategies in place in cities beyond London. With the | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
date that, why not use the data that all the recognised companies are | :12:32. | :12:39. | |
using, Matt Hancock has said your figures are out of date. You said | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
80% and every other economist of credibility has said 40%? The | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
figures we used are from the Centre for Cities, a reputable think-tank | :12:48. | :12:56. | |
that publishes data on the relative performance of cities. There are two | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
different data sets you can use, when the latest data comes out from | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
where jobs are located as opposed to where people live. That first data | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
set will be updated. This is a diversionary tactic. It is, but I | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
pick up on it because it really goes to the heart of what many people | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
will say about you in the party and outside which is you have a | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
credibility problem with the economy, and you are using | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
statistics now that many people disregard? I should be clear, in my | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
report, when you look at the source for the data it says what the source | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
is and makes it clear these figures refer to 2010-2012, I don't accept | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
the credibility issue at all. This is exactly what people want to do is | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
to have a debate about precisely how many jobs have been created where as | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
accepting the issue of regional imbalance. The big issue for us as a | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
country and it is not party political, it is what we do to | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
address the underlying challenge. The underlying challenge is there is | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
a great record of growth in London, London and the wider south-east, | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
even within that there are pockets of acute poverty and big disparities | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
that need to be addressed. But we all want to see the powerhouses of | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
the Midlands and the north live up to their potential. And putting in | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
place policies to see that happen is important. You gave give it to local | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
authorities, they give it back to business, why not cut business rates | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
and do something with massive effect? We are talking about funds | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
that need to be spent, for infrastructure, skills, essentially | :14:26. | :14:34. | |
purposes. There is a wider he -- debate about that. Why not cut | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
business rates instead? If you talk to business about what they want to | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
see in cities, two things come clear time and again. There is a big | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
skills crisis a problem of high youth unemployment and shortage of | :14:49. | :14:50. | |
skills, particularly technician skills and they want to see the | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
infrastructure attended to. The funds we are talking about, I'm not | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
talking about taxing anybody any more at all. The question is whether | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
priorities are set at the local and regional level or at the national | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
level. Now as Duncan said in his report, we are very unusual in this | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
country in the degree of centralisation of spending | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
decisions. People like Richard Lees who are outstanding leaders of big | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
authorities like Manchester, what they say, rightly, if we are in | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
charge of Manchester you want to make a big difference and give us | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
more tools for the job. They should then decide what the priorities are. | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
David Cameron said in 2009 what Michael Heseltine has already said | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
and the Liberal Democrats. The problem is they haven't done it. | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
There is an arms race now to decentralise? It is one thing to | :15:41. | :15:42. | |
make speeches it is another to act. decentralise? It is one thing to | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
deal of respect for, and his report is starting to create a consensus, | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
he said himself today that what has happened in the last two years since | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
his report was published is a stepping stone to what we need to | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
see, which is much greater responsibility taken at the level of | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
city leaders for improving their infrastructure and skills and making | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
it is more probusiness. There is a problem here, as Lord Glassman said, | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
and Len McClusky said last week, there is no coherent and cohesive | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
message, you come out with the policies that sound grabby but there | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
is no narrative that seems to carry the public with you? Today there is | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
strong and strong narrative, which we need to put power in the hand of | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
people who will make a difference. Business leaders, political leaders, | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
those people who have responsibility for the health and welfare of their | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
cities. You would expect on this for the public to gather around Ed | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
Miliband and say forget the last years we are with Labour? Today's | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
report is one building block and that is what we are discussing. The | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
big question which people will ask of Ed Miliband and Labour is are | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
they addressing the issues that really matter to the country. | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
Getting unemployment down, getting more skills, more apprentice, more | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
growth companies, more innovation, all of that infrastructure sorted | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
out we had a report about housing, getting housing numbers and starts | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
up. These are things that really matter to people, this agenda of | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
empowering city leaders and giving them the tools for the job goes to | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
the heart of being able to make a difference, community by community, | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
better jobs, better paid jobs too across the whole country. Is that | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
how you were won over, you of course were a David Miliband supporter and | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
now you're very much in the Ed camp, you are doing his work. What is it | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
about him then that has really sold himself to you? He's looking to the | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
needs of the country, which is what you expect all good political | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
leaders to do. The issues he's talking about, which is the problem | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
of relatively low growth rates, which we still have even with the | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
catch-up we are experiencing at the moment. We are not seeing the growth | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
there is translated into improvements in living standards, | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
because we have low productivity in this country and how you improve it, | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
getting public services working better and the infrastructure, these | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
things matter to the country. Why isn't it catching on within your | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
party and the wider public, people talk about his power ebbing away day | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
by day? I don't accept that at all. Labour has been doing every election | :18:19. | :18:31. | |
happening he is doing better. Getting more and better jobs in | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
every community in the country, there is no more important issue | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
than that at the moment. The policies we have been talking about | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
today to empower local business and political leaders to tackle skills | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
shortages, promote a better environment for businesses to grow, | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
to deal with infrastructure, including that big issue which we | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
had at the beginning of the programme, housing, looming up the | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
political agenda, that is what Ed and. Labour Party is talking about. | :18:56. | :19:09. | |
Listening to that are our guests. Rachel you have isolated the problem | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
as being with Ed Miliband's character, pretty scathing about | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
him, a man looking like he's giving birth without being sure there is a | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
baby inside? That is what a former Labour cabinet minister said to me. | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
There is a sense of despair on the Labour benches among MPs and some | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
candidates. This sense that this is Labour's election to lose if you | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
like, everything should be more Ed Miliband, David Cameron is not a | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
popular leader, there is austerity, the four-party system should make | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
this a Labour victory, and yet the party doesn't seem to be breaking | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
through. It is strange in many ways he's an admirable character, he has | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
interesting ideas, Andrew Adonis's report today is sensible and will do | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
good things. He's a radical in some ways, yet he doesn't seem to be able | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
to articulate that. There is a credibility gap if you like. He | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
talks about remaking capitalism, but there is a cap between the energy | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
price freeze and this kind of revolution that he's promising. And | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
people don't quite, it doesn't quite ring true. When another senior | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
figure said to me's a curious mixture of dogma and indecision. It | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
is this kind of lack of authenticity therefore. Can you say hand on heart | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
that he's taking you with him? Whether or not he's taking me with | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
him is irrelevant, he needs to take the country with him as Andrew | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
pointed out. Is he taking the country with him? He's winning local | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
election, he's still leading in the poll, his personal ratings are dire, | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
that is undeniable. The big question is do those poor personal ratings | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
stop him being Prime Minister next year or are they already factored in | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
the Prime Minister. Those people saying they don't think he's prime | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
ministerial material, but they are voting Labour. More pollsters are | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
being told they will vote Labour than the Conservatives. He does have | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
an image problem, which he's reluctant to engage with, to look at | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
polls saying you are weird and geeky and your brother is more popular | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
than you must hurt. He doesn't really want to engage in this stuff, | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
he likes to float above the fray and see himself as a serious, positive | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
and intellectual figure. But the fundamentals still favour Labour. | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
Just pick up on that curious phrase "a mixture of dogma and indecision", | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
that goes to the heart of the Sun thing. A leader who clearly thinks | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
and feels things very strongly but some how can't say them? I pick up | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
on what has just been said, Labour is leading in polls and in real | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
elections it has been doing well. That is a big vote of confidence in | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
Ed Miliband's leadership, in terms of taking decisions that matter he | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
has taken big and bold decision, the decisions we have taken today about | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
being prepared to empower city leaders, big decisions there. The | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
decision he took, which I think is one, because I have been talking a | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
lot with the business community about this report, it is an exercise | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
in total immersion visiting the cities, the biggest issue they have | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
raised is Europe. They don't want a Government or Prime Minister that | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
plays fast and loose with the national interest when it comes to | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
Europe. Ed took his time to make the decision, and he came out decisively | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
that Labour will not hold a referendum unless there is a treaty | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
change. Much more decisive than David Cameron who has offered a | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
referendum on terms unknown for a negotiation that hasn't begun as | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
yet. You could say what more can he be doing, if you have bold policies | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
were is the blockage? The problem is the voters don't see Ed Miliband | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
standing on the steps of Number Ten. They can't imagine him as Prime | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
Minister. Credibility is about stylishness and sense of humour, you | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
can't describe it or say you have got it, you have to demonstrate it | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
in small and large situation. It is that gap between the pronouncements | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
and the reality and then the little things, holding up the Sun for a | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
photograph, and then apologising for it. That is kind of the worst of all | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
worlds, and if you can't get those little decisions right in | :23:08. | :23:09. | |
opposition, it begs the question how would you deal with nuclear war. Do | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
you take this on board when you hear it? Joss it is the big -- It is the | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
big decisions that matter. The biggest decision we will take is | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
whether or not to stay in the European Union. The cavalier | :23:24. | :23:25. | |
approach the Government has been taking to this issue is in the eyes | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
of the business community and economic leaders is not one they | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
find attractive. It is Ed Miliband who has taken the strong and | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
principled stand. I don't accept this picture at all that when it | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
comes to the big challenges he has been found to be there when needed? | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
. The problem is this is Labour's election to lose, it shouldn't be, | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
Labour got its second worst result in 200 years in 2010. They were | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
supposed to be tearing themselves in two with Civil War, it is amazing | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
they are still leading in the polls and he's bookies' favourite to | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
become Prime Minister next year given the party he inherited in | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
2010. The crowds were so big the funerals themselves were delayed | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
2010. The crowds were so big the accommodate the mourners. This was | :24:12. | :24:13. | |
Israel's response on a human level to a crime that has rocked the | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
entire nation. Three teenagers abducted and murdered while hitch | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
hiking home from school in the occupied West Bank. Private grief | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
and political outrage are often close neighbours in this part of the | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
world. There are angry calls for revenge, and the Palestinians have | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
asked why the world hasn't recognised their dead, five | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
teenagers killed in the search for the missing teenagers. How will | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
Israel retaliate and when is the question. What considerations will | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
inform the Israeli Prime Minister's decisions this evening and in the | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
coming days? They are still talking here late at night. On the one hand | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
there are those feelings you mentioned. Those people who want | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
revenge. Sometimes expressed on the streets in pretty ugly terms, I have | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
to say. On the other there were all the consideringses that would -- | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
considerations that would lead him not to go for a biggest calculation. | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
America has urged caution tonight. There are many in the Israeli camp | :25:10. | :25:16. | |
who feel doing something dramatic might cause the Palestinian | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
Authority to collapse or face serious difficulties. It is Ramadan, | :25:21. | :25:23. | |
that is another reason why they don't want too big an escalation. | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
For all of those reasons the people I'm talking to tonight expect that | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
in the next day or two we will see more of what we have seen in the | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
last day or two. Which is raids against suspected Hamas militants in | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
the West Bank. And further air strikes in response to rockets or | :25:40. | :25:48. | |
mortar rounds on Gaza. We caught up with the crowds heading | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
to the murdered teenagers' funeral. Tens of thousands filed down through | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
the heat of late afternoon to pay their respects and to send a | :25:58. | :26:05. | |
message. It is as if we all want, we all are big body and limbs were | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
taken from us individually. It is not just a personal suffering, it is | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
a suffering for the whole nation. We need to act in a way that terrorists | :26:14. | :26:21. | |
won't even think of doing anything like this. Innocent children don't | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
deserve to be kidnapped and murdered in this way. It wasn't the moment | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
deserve to be kidnapped and murdered for asking what happens next. But it | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
is a thought on everyone's minds. In this conflict that has spanned | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
decades, there have been any number of personal tragedies. But the | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
timing of this couldn't be much more delicate, Israelis and Palestinians | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
have just given up after years of faltering attempts to talk peace. | :26:49. | :26:51. | |
The potential for escalation now is obvious. | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
Adding to the difficulty of this day was the revelation of an emergency | :26:56. | :27:02. | |
services call from one of the teen's buried today, Gilad Shaar, he made | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
it soon after he and his friends are abducted. | :27:09. | :27:31. | |
In pursuing the perpetrators Israeli forces yesterday raided homes in | :27:32. | :27:39. | |
Hebron. Israel says the two Palestinian suspects it named | :27:40. | :27:44. | |
earlier were Hamas members. But the militant organisation has neither | :27:45. | :27:50. | |
claimed the kidnap nor entirely denied it. TRANSLATION: The story of | :27:51. | :27:53. | |
the disappearance and the killing of the three settlers relies only on | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
the Israeli tale and the Israeli occupation is trying to utilise this | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
tale to enforce aggression on the Palestinians and the resistance. We | :28:02. | :28:05. | |
stress that the Israeli threats don't scare Hamas. Not its leaders, | :28:06. | :28:11. | |
nor our Palestinian people, and we warn the occupation from waging any | :28:12. | :28:15. | |
war or wide scale aggression against our Palestinian people. This morning | :28:16. | :28:24. | |
the Israeli air force was in action, with strikes against 34 targets in | :28:25. | :28:28. | |
Gaza. It follows an upsurge in rocket attacks on Israel. And | :28:29. | :28:33. | |
although this injured many, this was not the promised Israeli response to | :28:34. | :28:36. | |
the kidnap. Something being weighed tonight in Jerusalem. I wouldn't | :28:37. | :28:41. | |
want to rule in or rule out any kind of self-defence operations, what we | :28:42. | :28:48. | |
do know is that Gaza has become a huge warehouse of long range | :28:49. | :28:53. | |
rockets, that can strike at Tel Aviv, these are not in small | :28:54. | :28:57. | |
numbers. The notion that Iran could have a forward position along the | :28:58. | :29:03. | |
Mediterranean on the Gaza strip, and fill Gaza with rockets of different | :29:04. | :29:10. | |
types, Fager 3 or 5 is something that Israel has a hard time | :29:11. | :29:16. | |
accepting. This was a day of high emotion as | :29:17. | :29:20. | |
parents buried their sons. But it was a day also for politics, for the | :29:21. | :29:26. | |
Israeli Prime Minister addressed the funeral, telling mourners that the | :29:27. | :29:29. | |
abductions had brought Israel together, and shown them an inner | :29:30. | :29:36. | |
strength. The coming days will demonstra how much further loss | :29:37. | :29:39. | |
there will be as he makes good on his promise to strike back against | :29:40. | :29:46. | |
Hamas. We have a columnist and commentators from the Israeli | :29:47. | :29:55. | |
newspaper. Thank you for joining us. It was interesting the end to that, | :29:56. | :29:58. | |
talking about Binyamin Netanyahu's speech. He was asked by the families | :29:59. | :30:02. | |
not to mention the Israeli response. I wonder what that tells us about | :30:03. | :30:08. | |
the need to keep the politics and the private separate? Well, let's | :30:09. | :30:16. | |
say something that is usually not said about Prime Minister Netherton. | :30:17. | :30:19. | |
Although he's hawkish, Conservative and not very courageous on trying to | :30:20. | :30:27. | |
achieve peace, he's actually rather averse to extensive use of violence. | :30:28. | :30:31. | |
His years in Government have been rather peaceful. We did not see | :30:32. | :30:36. | |
breakthrough to peace, but he's not trigger happy, he's not enjoying | :30:37. | :30:42. | |
getting into unnecessary wars, unlike some previous Israeli | :30:43. | :30:47. | |
leaders. So what you see so far is actually that while Mr Abbas, and Mr | :30:48. | :31:00. | |
N Binyamin Netanyahu, they are both trying to prevent escalation. Yet | :31:01. | :31:06. | |
the situation is very explosive, any rocket that hits southern Israel and | :31:07. | :31:12. | |
causing casualties can cause the retaliation, because it is very | :31:13. | :31:15. | |
explosive and sensitive. But the different parties do not want | :31:16. | :31:20. | |
escalation tonight. It looks as if there is an interesting cabinet | :31:21. | :31:23. | |
split, some members talking of building up the settlement, naming | :31:24. | :31:31. | |
them after the young teenagers, and there are warnings against this? | :31:32. | :31:35. | |
Absolutely the extreme right in Israel, represented in the | :31:36. | :31:39. | |
Government actually is calling for extreme actions of all sorts. So far | :31:40. | :31:45. | |
the moderates and the cabinet, led by Prime Minister Netenyahu, under t | :31:46. | :31:53. | |
influence of the military, a moderating factor, have been able to | :31:54. | :31:56. | |
stop it. We don't know what tomorrow holds, but so far, actually | :31:57. | :31:59. | |
throughout these two-and-a-half weeks of this tragedy, this horrible | :32:00. | :32:05. | |
tragedy, you have seen mainly on the Israeli side, but also on the | :32:06. | :32:09. | |
Palestinian Authority side, actually rather responsible behaviour, facing | :32:10. | :32:15. | |
with this ghastly violence. Do you think, and Israel like any nation | :32:16. | :32:19. | |
closes ranks when its young are killed, do you think it will be able | :32:20. | :32:25. | |
to respond to this as a crime? If it knows who the perpetrators are, just | :32:26. | :32:32. | |
to try them? Look there is always a battle for the soul of Israel. First | :32:33. | :32:36. | |
of all there was something very impressive about the kind of | :32:37. | :32:40. | |
combination of solidarity within Israel, and again a relatively | :32:41. | :32:44. | |
restrained and responsible Government policy so far. But | :32:45. | :32:48. | |
definitely the rage and the anger and the pain of the day are | :32:49. | :32:52. | |
challenging the Government and cabinet and anything, this is a very | :32:53. | :32:57. | |
sensitive moment, anything can go wrong in this kind of situation. I | :32:58. | :33:00. | |
would like to point out that one of the things that makes the situation | :33:01. | :33:05. | |
so dangerous is that we have had the collapse of the peace negotiations a | :33:06. | :33:09. | |
few months ago. Actually nothing filled the vacuum, it is very | :33:10. | :33:13. | |
dangerous in the Middle East all together. And definitely in Israel | :33:14. | :33:18. | |
and Palestine, not to have an organising principle, not to have | :33:19. | :33:25. | |
some stablising concept. Right now, specifically the parties, the | :33:26. | :33:29. | |
leaders on both sides have been acting responsibly, but the fact | :33:30. | :33:33. | |
that we do not have a political process, and the wish to have the | :33:34. | :33:39. | |
finalal status agreement, this creates a very dangerous situation. | :33:40. | :33:43. | |
We might survive this event, but the next one might really cause major | :33:44. | :33:51. | |
escalation. When How to be a Woman exploded on | :33:52. | :33:55. | |
to the scene, it was pretty clear a new voice of feminism was launched | :33:56. | :34:00. | |
loud and clear, it shrouded from the roof tops or a chair more | :34:01. | :34:05. | |
explicitly, it was funnier, self-deprecating, allowing for the | :34:06. | :34:11. | |
inconsistencies that belie any attempt at doctrine. It was Caitlin | :34:12. | :34:19. | |
Moran, she has a new book, of a young woman growing up in the 1990s | :34:20. | :34:24. | |
wanting to be a music journalist. Now an extract from The Horse's | :34:25. | :34:29. | |
Mouth, it contains language that some might find offensive. "I feel | :34:30. | :34:38. | |
excitingly free. Things were going to happen to me last night that I | :34:39. | :34:43. | |
did not like, and I stopped them. I have never prevented my own doom | :34:44. | :34:47. | |
before. I have never stood in the path of uncertain happiness and told | :34:48. | :34:52. | |
myself, lovingly, like a mother to myself, no, this unhappiness will | :34:53. | :34:57. | |
not suit you. Turn around and go another way. I have previously been | :34:58. | :35:02. | |
resigned to any and all fates ahead, mute and compliant, worried about | :35:03. | :35:06. | |
seeming weird or unfuckable, or about making a fuss. But now, things | :35:07. | :35:10. | |
have changed. Because it seems I'm now the kind of girl who can | :35:11. | :35:15. | |
instigate a threesome and then cancel a threesome and then order a | :35:16. | :35:20. | |
cab. I'm in charge of me. I can change fates, I can reorder | :35:21. | :35:24. | |
evenings. I can say yes, and then say no. And this is new information | :35:25. | :35:29. | |
to me. And I like this information, I like all information about me. | :35:30. | :35:35. | |
Because I'm compiling a dossier, I'm my own specialist subject. You spent | :35:36. | :35:43. | |
a lot of the day with us, thank you very much. It was my absolute | :35:44. | :35:47. | |
pleasure. And mainly because I get out of childcare and it is really | :35:48. | :35:52. | |
interesting to find out there is a television in the corner playing the | :35:53. | :35:59. | |
World Cup. We have turned -- It turned around now in case someone | :36:00. | :36:05. | |
scores! Your novel goes straight in because on the first few pages the | :36:06. | :36:11. | |
heroine is masterbating? It is a great way to start a novel. The more | :36:12. | :36:15. | |
you are not supposed to write about something I want to write about it. | :36:16. | :36:18. | |
Not to be controversial, but it is why, these are the things that drive | :36:19. | :36:22. | |
you nuts. So much of being a girl is visceral and you are not allowed to | :36:23. | :36:26. | |
speak about it. When I wrote How to be a Woman is each chapter is | :36:27. | :36:30. | |
something you are supposed to keep Crete, master a decision, | :36:31. | :36:37. | |
menstruation, eating discords, hair. I thought these are the things that | :36:38. | :36:41. | |
drive us nuts and these are the things that keep us deO'pressed. I | :36:42. | :36:46. | |
found it funny. It is interesting that is the controversial things, we | :36:47. | :36:49. | |
are on a news show talking about war and death and all these appalling | :36:50. | :36:52. | |
things, and still to open a book with a 13-year-old girl doing | :36:53. | :36:58. | |
something pleasant and relaxing is kind of like ahhh. It is fully | :36:59. | :37:04. | |
accepted that teenage sex drive for teenage boys is full on, did you | :37:05. | :37:07. | |
feel it was important to portray girls with a healthy sex drive? No | :37:08. | :37:12. | |
hugely. There is a bit in the book where she's talking about how she | :37:13. | :37:17. | |
wants to be a lady sex pirate and adventurer, that reclaiming of | :37:18. | :37:20. | |
sexuality. I started writing the book because I was in a huge fury of | :37:21. | :37:28. | |
anger after reading Fifty Shades of Grey. There was a massive feminist | :37:29. | :37:35. | |
argument that we needed to have an argument, but to surmise the plot, a | :37:36. | :37:42. | |
young virgin who meets an older man, who says if you let me spank you on | :37:43. | :37:48. | |
the clitoris I will buy you an iPad, I thought this is not female | :37:49. | :37:53. | |
sexuality. I want to write something funny and dirty who wants to do | :37:54. | :37:57. | |
things. What is the word "slag" meaning to you? I'm using it | :37:58. | :38:03. | |
cheerfully, if it is used in anger that is awful. Is it when a woman | :38:04. | :38:06. | |
sleeps around a lot, is that something you would encourage? That | :38:07. | :38:12. | |
is your lady sex adventurers? Again it is quite a good hobby. The two | :38:13. | :38:17. | |
hobbies I think any teenage girl should have, masturbation is a very | :38:18. | :38:21. | |
good and calming one, maybe for country walks and then the | :38:22. | :38:24. | |
revolution, those are the three hobbies for any teenage girl. | :38:25. | :38:28. | |
Sleeping around as long as you are doing safely with people you like, | :38:29. | :38:31. | |
it is a nice way of meeting people and having interesting | :38:32. | :38:37. | |
conversations. Your novel could be read as a Marxist treaty, it is | :38:38. | :38:44. | |
about the benefits system, dependency, what is going on. The | :38:45. | :38:48. | |
heroine says everything could be solved with more money? Yeah, it | :38:49. | :38:52. | |
isn't just rude stuff, it isn't just shagging, there is lots of stuff. | :38:53. | :38:55. | |
The two main things I wanted to write about were sex and class. | :38:56. | :38:58. | |
Because one of the things I had repeatedly said to me since I became | :38:59. | :39:03. | |
famous and successful that I was not working-class or middle-class. Seen | :39:04. | :39:08. | |
though I speak in a middle-class voice I'm still from the ghetto in | :39:09. | :39:14. | |
Wolverhampton. As soon as you get money the middle-classes coopt you, | :39:15. | :39:17. | |
the only thing left for the working-class is failure, you can | :39:18. | :39:21. | |
never be rich and successful and working-class. There is such a | :39:22. | :39:25. | |
difference between middle and working-class culture, I wanted to | :39:26. | :39:29. | |
set it in the 1990s becau that is the last time that working-class was | :39:30. | :39:33. | |
supreme, all the bands, working-class bands, people would | :39:34. | :39:36. | |
pretend to be working-class. Is this where you get your words, your | :39:37. | :39:41. | |
socio-political freak on. What would you say to young people now who | :39:42. | :39:44. | |
believe politics is a waste of time. That all politicians are the same, | :39:45. | :39:48. | |
even Jeremy, come to that! What do you say to people who are just | :39:49. | :39:52. | |
starting out? I know this is the hopefully if this sells this is the | :39:53. | :39:56. | |
first of a trilogy, the next one is how to be famous and then how to | :39:57. | :40:00. | |
change the world. I want to write about politics and explain it to | :40:01. | :40:03. | |
people. I was brought up with a dad who was a big trade unionist and | :40:04. | :40:08. | |
been brought up very poor he explained the history of the labour | :40:09. | :40:10. | |
movement to me and how everything has changed in this country is | :40:11. | :40:13. | |
because people went out and changed it. People in power will never hand | :40:14. | :40:17. | |
power down to people you have to go and ask for power. Is it going to be | :40:18. | :40:21. | |
done through the political system? Not currently now, it needs to be | :40:22. | :40:25. | |
from the grassroots up. One of the books I want to write. It seems nuts | :40:26. | :40:30. | |
to me you had labour movement in a pre-Twitter era it was collections | :40:31. | :40:33. | |
and sending MPs to parliament who would represent their | :40:34. | :40:34. | |
constituencies, now the idea of doing that, which is kind of why I'm | :40:35. | :40:40. | |
in favour of UKIP, because I find them incredibly inspiring, if this | :40:41. | :40:45. | |
useful bunch of ass-hats have got to this point where they control the | :40:46. | :40:49. | |
political debate. Imagine a good UKIP having these conversations and | :40:50. | :40:52. | |
how quickly they would change things. Misogyny, I wonder if you | :40:53. | :40:57. | |
think that we missed that, my generation or the generation before | :40:58. | :41:02. | |
us accepted it as the last bastion of offensiveness that was OK. We | :41:03. | :41:06. | |
have ruled out race and religious crimes and homophobia, and yet some | :41:07. | :41:11. | |
how the women got forgotten. Still there is that viral thing that is | :41:12. | :41:17. | |
going on at the moment do it like a girl, they ask people to do their | :41:18. | :41:20. | |
impression of running and throwing like a girl, being a girl is still | :41:21. | :41:25. | |
seen as a bad thing, that is where I wanted to write a book about a girl | :41:26. | :41:29. | |
who followed her will and desire and learned from her mistakes and wanted | :41:30. | :41:32. | |
to be a good and noble person, not pretty, good and noble a have a | :41:33. | :41:36. | |
really good time. Those things are key, it should be pleasurable to be | :41:37. | :41:40. | |
a woman, we still see ourselves as a massive list of problems. It took me | :41:41. | :41:46. | |
until I was 34 I'm alive, to realise that, I'm entertaining and I work | :41:47. | :41:52. | |
hard and I can do things. When the remaining members of Monty Python | :41:53. | :41:55. | |
announced they would return for one last reunion | :41:56. | :41:58. | |
announced they would return for one quick to pick up the tickets. It | :41:59. | :42:05. | |
sold out in 44 seconds. Tonight the pythons took to the stage for the | :42:06. | :42:08. | |
first of their ten performances. This is a little flavour of what is | :42:09. | :42:13. | |
on offer. Who would have thought 40 years ago we would all be sitting | :42:14. | :42:18. | |
here doing Monty Python! # I'm a lumber Jack and I'm OK, I | :42:19. | :42:24. | |
work all night and sleep all day # He's a lumberjack and he's OK. | :42:25. | :42:33. | |
Is your wife a goer, know what I mean, know what I mean, say no more. | :42:34. | :42:38. | |
I beg your pardon? Your wife, does she go. Well joining us now the | :42:39. | :42:47. | |
comedian Marcus Bridgestock, she go. Well joining us now the | :42:48. | :42:54. | |
Asha Atalar, who produced the TV show The Office, they have dashed | :42:55. | :42:58. | |
across London to give us your thoughts. Lovely to have you both | :42:59. | :43:02. | |
here. We were amazed you made it? We missed the end to come and tell you | :43:03. | :43:05. | |
how good and enjoyable the whole thing was. Quite inconvenient being | :43:06. | :43:11. | |
here? Spoil add lovely evening of comedy. Was it great? You go first | :43:12. | :43:18. | |
because you are less of a man. I came out more of a fan than I went | :43:19. | :43:22. | |
in. I was nervous for them because you don't want to ruin -- you are | :43:23. | :43:29. | |
less of a fan than I was. I was nervous for them, I thought tonight | :43:30. | :43:36. | |
was patchy, the production was great, they filled the O2 and didn't | :43:37. | :43:41. | |
let themselves down. The people were waiting for the catch phrases, | :43:42. | :43:47. | |
massive ripple of laughter. Slightly shaky first night in places. They | :43:48. | :43:51. | |
expanded on the stuff people knew, they expanded out and did new | :43:52. | :43:55. | |
things, at the end they turned a lot of the familiar sketch, afterwards | :43:56. | :44:00. | |
into a big huge production number. People have said on-line about the | :44:01. | :44:03. | |
price of tickets, for any of these sorts of things. I think you are | :44:04. | :44:10. | |
getting an awful lot on stage. John Cleese said there was no new | :44:11. | :44:13. | |
material? There was a tonne of new material, loads, not whole new | :44:14. | :44:17. | |
sketches really, but different versions of things. Like what? They | :44:18. | :44:26. | |
expanded out their "isn't it awfully nice to have a penis" song, to | :44:27. | :44:30. | |
include the ladies. And one for everybody as well with the bottoms. | :44:31. | :44:35. | |
And they did a lovely dance number for "sit on my face and tell me that | :44:36. | :44:39. | |
you love me". It was liesly choreographed. Why should they do | :44:40. | :44:42. | |
new material because people were going to see the old material, I | :44:43. | :44:45. | |
thought that was an unfair accusation. That Mick Jagger line, a | :44:46. | :44:52. | |
bunch of wrinkly old men trying to relief their youth when he did the | :44:53. | :44:57. | |
promo for them? He's not wrong. They were candid they did it a bit for | :44:58. | :45:04. | |
money didn't they? Cleese has a very expensive divorce, several. They are | :45:05. | :45:07. | |
not the only people in Britain to go to work to earn money. There is | :45:08. | :45:10. | |
nothing really wrong with that, I think there is only something wrong | :45:11. | :45:13. | |
with that if you short change your fans massively. And they didn't. I | :45:14. | :45:19. | |
have seen younger men put on more lazy shows than those guys. Thanks. | :45:20. | :45:24. | |
I did mean you! I don't think anyone would think that. Where did it fall | :45:25. | :45:29. | |
down for you, did it feel dated? It did feel a bit dated but that's sort | :45:30. | :45:33. | |
of the joy of it, you don't go there to see a contemporary Monty Python. | :45:34. | :45:38. | |
There were times when their age, there is nothing wrong with old | :45:39. | :45:41. | |
people doing comedy, there should be more of it. We were saying in the | :45:42. | :45:45. | |
car that sometimes they didn't quite have the energy to push through a | :45:46. | :45:52. | |
couple of sketches, it felt they were sagging. I wouldn't be | :45:53. | :45:57. | |
surprised if it came through in the next few shows. They played in a lot | :45:58. | :46:02. | |
of footage but I have seen it before. We will try to get you the | :46:03. | :46:05. | |
ending. That is it for tonight, we leave you with a journalist from | :46:06. | :46:10. | |
Kansas City who performed a social experiment by sending a photograph | :46:11. | :46:14. | |
of herself to 40 Photoshop designers in different countries around the | :46:15. | :46:19. | |
world, she gave each one the same instruction, make me look beautiful | :46:20. | :46:24. | |
in a fashion magazine. Here is what they sent back. | :46:25. | :47:14. | |
On Wednesday England and Wales will see the best of the sunshine, for | :47:15. | :47:19. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland, it is a bright start to the day. But the | :47:20. | :47:22. | |
winds will pick up, more cloud arriving for the afternoon, as the | :47:23. | :47:26. | |
rain sets its way in and moves further south. It might produce some | :47:27. | :47:31. | |
patchy light rain along the north coast of Northern Ireland. Further | :47:32. | :47:32. | |
south it stays | :47:33. | :47:34. |
