En Hello. Welcome to Outside Source.
The Golden Globes, women made a | 0:00:09 | 0:00:14 | |
stand in several ways. They wore
black in solidarity with victims of | 0:00:14 | 0:00:19 | |
sexual violence and with a speech of
the night did a new political | 0:00:19 | 0:00:23 | |
contender emerge? A new day is on
the horizon! Here Carrie Gracie has | 0:00:23 | 0:00:31 | |
been explaining why she has quit as
our China editor. I cannot collude | 0:00:31 | 0:00:37 | |
in what I see as unlawful pay
discrimination. A woman being sued | 0:00:37 | 0:00:46 | |
by Radiohead, the band claims a
track rips off one of theirs. We | 0:00:46 | 0:00:50 | |
will play you both. Later we will
look at Theresa May's Cabinet | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
reshuffle. | 0:00:52 | 0:01:02 | |
It was inevitable the Golden Globes
were dominated by Hollywood's sex | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
abuse scandal. The first major
awards since the Harvey Weinstein | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
story broke in October. Almost all
of those who attended wore black to | 0:01:18 | 0:01:23 | |
show support for the victims. This
is what some of them said. There's | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
no way I am ever going to be in a
room and be treated in the way that | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
people have been treated ever again
and in the stand up and not say I | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
don't agree with that. The whole
reason why this was able to take | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
place like anything that's abuse of
power is it's silence and people | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
feeling they can't. I don't feel
like that any more. Time's up, some | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
things we don't need to discuss any
more, equal pay for equal work, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:50 | |
well, doh! Harassment in the
workplace, come on, time's up on all | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
that stuff. Four months ago you
couldn't have dreamed of a night | 0:01:54 | 0:02:01 | |
like this and the conversations that
are being had. I think it's exciting | 0:02:01 | 0:02:08 | |
times for all of us. No question who
made the most talked about speech. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:13 | |
Oprah Winfrey became the first black
woman to receive a Golden Globes | 0:02:13 | 0:02:18 | |
lifetime achievement award and
didn't hold back. So I want all the | 0:02:18 | 0:02:24 | |
girls watching here now to know that
a new day is on the horizon! After | 0:02:24 | 0:02:29 | |
that speech we are seeing hashtags
like Oprah Winfrey for President, | 0:02:29 | 0:02:34 | |
Oprah Winfrey 2020. I have been
speaking to the BBC's Peter Bowes | 0:02:34 | 0:02:39 | |
and his analysis of what happened at
the ceremony. This is the issue that | 0:02:39 | 0:02:44 | |
has dominated Hollywood over the
last three months and clearly this | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
is the highest profile time of the
year, the major shop front from | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
Hollywood, normally to sell
television shows and movies, now | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
it's to, if you like, sell a
political issue, that Hollywood | 0:02:54 | 0:02:59 | |
feels strongly about and the anding
stresses that wore black were | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
determined to do so, almost 100%
did, to get their point across and | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
we heard what Oprah Winfrey had to
say. I think equally behind the | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
scenes people are saying this is
just the beginning, just the | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
beginning of a process for
Hollywood, we might see more of | 0:03:13 | 0:03:18 | |
these demonstrations, something
similar to this at the Oscars in a | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
few weeks' time. This is the
beginning of potentially quite a | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
long process of change. Change of
attitude in the workplace for | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
Hollywood. Presumably it's also
about the way structure, power is | 0:03:28 | 0:03:33 | |
structured in Hollywood. And the big
studios who dominate are still | 0:03:33 | 0:03:38 | |
dominated by men, isn't that fair?
That is a fair thing to say. There | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |
are some women in prominent senior
positions in the studios but yes, | 0:03:42 | 0:03:47 | |
you are right, Hollywood is largely
run in those top roles by men and | 0:03:47 | 0:03:52 | |
change has to come from the top. But
it's also going to come in terms of | 0:03:52 | 0:03:58 | |
equal pay for the same work, in
terms of attitudes towards clearly | 0:03:58 | 0:04:03 | |
this big issue of sexual harassment.
I don't think anyone believes it's | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
going to end immediately, attitudes
have to change in terms of | 0:04:07 | 0:04:12 | |
workplace, women have to feel as if
they can complain, they can report | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
men who are behaving badly, that
isn't going to change overnight | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
again because they have to feel
comfortable, perhaps policies have | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
to be changed internally in
companies. I think people recognise | 0:04:24 | 0:04:28 | |
that a lot of work still needs to be
done. Another major story today | 0:04:28 | 0:04:34 | |
concerns Carrie Gracie who has
resigned as the BBC's China editor | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
because she says the BBC won't pay
her as much as men who are doing | 0:04:37 | 0:04:42 | |
equivalent roles here at the BBC. At
the Golden Globes on the red carpet | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
the BBC's James Cook spoke to the
actress Emma Watson and the BBC came | 0:04:45 | 0:04:50 | |
up as did Carrie. BBC's obviously
committed to 50-50 by 2020, that's a | 0:04:50 | 0:04:55 | |
great commitment. We need to see
them fulfil it. And more needs to be | 0:04:55 | 0:05:02 | |
made and more public commitments
like that from other organisations | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
like the BBC. One of our foreign
correspondents Carrie dwrasy has | 0:05:05 | 0:05:11 | |
resigned tonight complaining about
pay inequality and failure to reach | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
that solution. This is what we are
saying, I think more needs to be | 0:05:14 | 0:05:20 | |
done. By making these commitments
public we need to be holding these | 0:05:20 | 0:05:26 | |
organisations accountable. And I
think that what has happened | 0:05:26 | 0:05:31 | |
tonight, that resignation is a
really good example that, you know, | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
you have got to follow through. You
have to back up what you are saying | 0:05:34 | 0:05:38 | |
and it's important and we will hold
you accountable. Carrie Gracie has | 0:05:38 | 0:05:43 | |
resooned as the BBC's China editor.
-- resigned. She will continue to | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
work here in the BBC newsroom.
Carrie was one of four international | 0:05:46 | 0:05:51 | |
editors here at the BBC News, you
will have seen all of them on | 0:05:51 | 0:06:01 | |
Outside Source. Now last July the
BBC was obliged to release this list | 0:06:01 | 0:06:07 | |
of all its employees who earn over
£150,000. Carrie and Katya's names | 0:06:07 | 0:06:12 | |
were not on that list. John and
Jeremy's were. This was Carrie | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
Gracie speaking earlier. Six months
ago we discovered the pay | 0:06:16 | 0:06:23 | |
discrepancies at the BBC. They
affected me very directly. I have | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
spent the intervening time trying to
put them right through an equal pay | 0:06:26 | 0:06:30 | |
complaint, through a formal
grievance. I have repeatedly told | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
management that I would not find it
possible to go back to China in the | 0:06:34 | 0:06:39 | |
new year without the grievance
resolved. It is still unresolved. I | 0:06:39 | 0:06:47 | |
cannot collude in what I see as
unlawful pay discrimination. The BBC | 0:06:47 | 0:06:51 | |
has released a statement today. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:59 | |
A separate report we are told for on
air staff will be published in the | 0:07:16 | 0:07:21 | |
not too distant future. This is
Carrie Gracie's response to that. I | 0:07:21 | 0:07:26 | |
am still disappointed by the BBC's
response. The BBC talks about a | 0:07:26 | 0:07:30 | |
gender pay gap but what I am talking
about is not a gender pay gap where | 0:07:30 | 0:07:36 | |
sometimes men and women are in
different roles which explain the | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
differences in pay. What I am
talking about is pay discrimination | 0:07:39 | 0:07:43 | |
which is when men are paid more for
doing the same job or a job of equal | 0:07:43 | 0:07:48 | |
value. Now that is illegal. There
are two issues here, the issue of | 0:07:48 | 0:07:53 | |
equal and fair pay and the broader
issue of the gender pay gap. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:58 | |
Jennifer mill Lynnes is an
employment partner with a legal firm | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
and is advising a number of senior
women at the BBC on equal pay issues | 0:08:01 | 0:08:06 | |
including Carrie Gracie. Here is her
reaction today. Equal pay falls | 0:08:06 | 0:08:13 | |
within the equality ability --
equality act, it's an issue of women | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
and men being paid the same for
equal work. It is different to the | 0:08:17 | 0:08:22 | |
gender pay gap or statistics we are
hearing a lot about in the news at | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
the moment because this is the first
year that the requirements to report | 0:08:25 | 0:08:29 | |
on gender pay stats have come in so
employers are doing this on a | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
regular basis at the moment and will
do up until about Easter time. The | 0:08:32 | 0:08:36 | |
BBC has reported its jepder pay
statistics and it's one of the | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
defences it has used against
Carrie's letter today -- gender, | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
that its gender pay stats look
healthy as compared to the national | 0:08:44 | 0:08:48 | |
average, the national average is
around 18% of discrepancy with male | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
and female pay. The BBC's is around
9%. The issues are very different. A | 0:08:51 | 0:08:56 | |
gender pay statistic or gender pay
reporting that we are seeing is | 0:08:56 | 0:09:01 | |
across the organisation, it takes
groups of men, groups of women, | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
compares them against each other and
then comes out with a statistic but | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
it doesn't deal with individual
issues of discrimination like the | 0:09:07 | 0:09:11 | |
one that Carrie is complaining of.
If you have been near Twitter today | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
you will know colleagues and
commentators have been reacting to | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
this story. Here is the BBC
Newsnight presenter saying. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:25 | |
This is part of a longer thread of
tweets on Twitter. One other from | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
Evan. He says. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:43 | |
That's part of a thread of nine
tweets if you want to find them | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
online. That's one view. Next the
analysis of the BBC's media editor. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:59 | |
There is tremendous anger among many
female staff at all levels of this | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
corporation. Senior figures at the
BBC say they take this issue very | 0:10:02 | 0:10:07 | |
seriously but many employees have
found the process of fighting for | 0:10:07 | 0:10:12 | |
equal pay completely unbearable. The
sal yens of this story arises from | 0:10:12 | 0:10:16 | |
implications beyond this place, it's
happening in a climate in which many | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
women across several industries say
they've suffered injustice and | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
inequality for far too long.
Now I doubt you missed over the | 0:10:23 | 0:10:29 | |
weekend Donald Trump calling himself
a stable genius. Well he is starting | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
his week visiting a couple of, well
established republican states. He | 0:10:33 | 0:10:38 | |
will be in Tennessee and Georgia and
will be among friends. You will find | 0:10:38 | 0:10:43 | |
thousands of blue collar workers in
these states who helped him to | 0:10:43 | 0:10:47 | |
presidency. He will highlight a plan
to help farmers and rural | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
communities. That's in a speech in
Nashville which he will give later. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:55 | |
There were a number of stories to
talk about, this one of them. Here. | 0:10:55 | 0:11:02 | |
I think he is looking forward to
getting out of town for a little | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
bit, when he is in front of crowds
he seems to draw energy from that. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
He is going to end up in Georgia,
watch ago football game with two | 0:11:08 | 0:11:14 | |
southern states as well and I hear
he is going to be surrounding | 0:11:14 | 0:11:19 | |
himself with corporate CEOs, might
try to see if they can do more for | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
workers. Some corporations have
already announced bonuses and | 0:11:23 | 0:11:28 | |
they've given credit to republican
tax bill so I think he may try to | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
keep the ball rolling on that
because it makes for good press and | 0:11:31 | 0:11:35 | |
takes attention away from the fire
and fury book and the tweets he sent | 0:11:35 | 0:11:39 | |
out over the weekend and other
distractions. There is the book. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:43 | |
Inside the Trump White House,
written by Michael Wolff who has | 0:11:43 | 0:11:49 | |
been giving interviews about his
experience collecting information | 0:11:49 | 0:11:50 | |
for the book. Here is some of the
latest he said. The people in the | 0:11:50 | 0:11:55 | |
White House are like everybody else
in the country. What's going to | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
happen here, we don't know from day
to day. This is for them as for | 0:11:58 | 0:12:08 | |
everyone an extraordinary
experience. I think that they | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
certainly question what's going to
happen here, like everybody else. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:16 | |
There are many moments in which the
25th amendment has come up, in which | 0:12:16 | 0:12:22 | |
gives the Cabinet the ability to
remove the President and they don't | 0:12:22 | 0:12:26 | |
say, they don't say the Cabinet is
going to remove the President, but | 0:12:26 | 0:12:31 | |
they do say things like this is a
little 25th amendmenty here. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:36 | |
Inevitably he is seeing his book as
a game-changer. Here is Anthony on | 0:12:36 | 0:12:43 | |
whether that's is overstating
things. If you listen to the lines | 0:12:43 | 0:12:45 | |
he is hearing this and they're
saying that, these are not direct | 0:12:45 | 0:12:50 | |
atrib bugs. The 25th amendment is
such a long shot as getting a | 0:12:50 | 0:12:55 | |
majority of the President's Trump's
hand-picked Cabinet to vet to remove | 0:12:55 | 0:12:59 | |
him and approval from Congress,
that's is even more unlikely than an | 0:12:59 | 0:13:03 | |
impeachment proceedings. So I think
you are looking several steps down | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
the line. Maybe there could be a
little gallows humour in the White | 0:13:06 | 0:13:12 | |
House or if Donald Trump does
something they don't like they could | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
joke about it. It's amazing Michael
Wolf had that access to sit there | 0:13:14 | 0:13:19 | |
like a fly on the wall talking about
those conversations but it's | 0:13:19 | 0:13:23 | |
difficult to judge if they were
legitimately serious or just office | 0:13:23 | 0:13:28 | |
workplace jokes. President Trump is
attending a college football game. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
The national championship no less.
It's taking place in Atlanta. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
Wouldn't normally mention that but
the President hasn't attended lots | 0:13:36 | 0:13:41 | |
of these large-scale events. Why
could this be different? It's | 0:13:41 | 0:13:46 | |
Alabama against Georgia, two states
Donald Trump carried. He has | 0:13:46 | 0:13:50 | |
particular connection to Alabama,
they turned out in big numbers for | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
him when he started campaigning.
Georgia was an interesting state. It | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
was a little bit more of a narrow
margin with him and Hillary Clinton | 0:13:56 | 0:14:02 | |
in the election than say Obama
against Romney in 2012. But he is | 0:14:02 | 0:14:08 | |
going to have some corporate CEOs as
his guests, this could be networking | 0:14:08 | 0:14:13 | |
away - a way to communicate with
them in a less normal setting and | 0:14:13 | 0:14:17 | |
twist their arms on economic issues
a little bit. One last thing, | 0:14:17 | 0:14:21 | |
earlier I mentioned Oprah Winfrey's
speech at the Golden Globes. Here is | 0:14:21 | 0:14:27 | |
a piece online. Does the speech
provide clues about a presidential | 0:14:27 | 0:14:32 | |
run. She hit a lot of the marks you
would expect a polished candidate to | 0:14:32 | 0:14:38 | |
use when they're positioning
themselves for a presidential run. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:42 | |
She talked about her personal
upbringing as a less affluent child | 0:14:42 | 0:14:50 | |
in Wisconsin, she cite anecdotes
about famous people, she had catchy | 0:14:50 | 0:14:54 | |
phrases, a new day is on the horizon
Fon ash brighter morning, you could | 0:14:54 | 0:14:59 | |
imagine those on a hat or bumper
sticker. She has name recognition, | 0:14:59 | 0:15:05 | |
money, 2020 is a long way off, as we
both know, stranger things have | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
happened. In this dweet from the
Washington Times, saying Donald | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
Trump is talking in Nashville later.
He has just started. Here is him | 0:15:12 | 0:15:16 | |
talking right now. Mark Morris,
state Senate majority leader, I have | 0:15:16 | 0:15:21 | |
done my job now, all right! OK. I
have done my job. Did I do a good | 0:15:21 | 0:15:27 | |
job, did I leave out anybody? I hope
not. It's always trouble when you do | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
that, you leave out one prn, it's
like for the rest of your life they | 0:15:31 | 0:15:35 | |
never speak to you. It's always very
dangerous, thank you very much. I am | 0:15:35 | 0:15:40 | |
also thrilled to see one of my good
friends and early supporters and | 0:15:40 | 0:15:46 | |
that is Tom and I just said... I
also want to thank the American farm | 0:15:46 | 0:15:53 | |
bureau. I said I was going to
mention you and I am, because you | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
have been there from the beginning
and that tractor that you... That's | 0:15:56 | 0:16:00 | |
President Trump talking to farmers
in Nashville. He looks so at ease, | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
doesn't he? This is one of the
environments in which he seems most | 0:16:03 | 0:16:08 | |
comfortable and will be a welcome
break from the furore in Washington | 0:16:08 | 0:16:12 | |
around the book. We will keep
listening to that in case he says | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
something worth playing to you. In a
few minutes we will be going back to | 0:16:15 | 0:16:20 | |
the US because 2017 for America was
the costliest year on record for | 0:16:20 | 0:16:25 | |
weather and climate disasters. We
will look in more detail at that. A | 0:16:25 | 0:16:35 | |
couple who meat on a Muslim dating
site have been convicted of planning | 0:16:35 | 0:16:39 | |
an IS inspired terror attack on the
UK in the run-up to Christmas 2016. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:53 | |
We got reaction from local people
about the couple. I have spoken to a | 0:17:04 | 0:17:08 | |
couple of colleagues of his at local
factories who say he came across as | 0:17:08 | 0:17:14 | |
quiet, normal, hard working, he even
gave people lifts home. The local | 0:17:14 | 0:17:20 | |
police commander here in Derby says
this was clearly a very serious plot | 0:17:20 | 0:17:24 | |
and he makes the point that here on
this street where a few minutes' | 0:17:24 | 0:17:27 | |
walk from the main shopping centre
in Derby, and that's precisely the | 0:17:27 | 0:17:31 | |
kind of place that terrorists tend
to target. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:45 | |
We are live here in the BBC
newsroom. Lead store -- story cops | 0:17:48 | 0:17:54 | |
from the Golden Globes where stars
wore black to show solidarity with | 0:17:54 | 0:18:00 | |
victims of Hollywood's sex scandal.
Iran has banned the teaching of | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
English in primary schools calling
the subject a cultural invasion. The | 0:18:04 | 0:18:09 | |
education ministry says schools will
focus on Persianian skills and | 0:18:09 | 0:18:14 | |
Islamic culture. BBC Indonesia has
images of a volcano erupting on a | 0:18:14 | 0:18:19 | |
tiny island. Officials thought the
volcano was dormant. Evidently not. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:24 | |
It's been erupting since Friday and
600 residents have had to be | 0:18:24 | 0:18:28 | |
evacuated. Thousands of you have
been looking at this fire at trump | 0:18:28 | 0:18:33 | |
tower in New York. It was located on
the roof of the building. Three | 0:18:33 | 0:18:38 | |
people including a firefighter
suffered minor injuries. As we have | 0:18:38 | 0:18:41 | |
been discussing, President is not in
New York, he is in Georgia and | 0:18:41 | 0:18:43 | |
Tennessee.
2017 was the costliest year ever for | 0:18:43 | 0:18:52 | |
weather and climate disasters in the
US. The authorities are estimating | 0:18:52 | 0:18:56 | |
that cost is in the region of $306
billion. Just for context, the | 0:18:56 | 0:19:03 | |
previous record year was 2005 when
the costs were $215 billion. Let's | 0:19:03 | 0:19:09 | |
remind ourselves of why 2017 was so
challenging. These pictures for | 0:19:09 | 0:19:14 | |
instance are of Hurricane Harvey
that hit Texas in August. It cost | 0:19:14 | 0:19:20 | |
alone $180 billion. More than any
other natural disaster in American | 0:19:20 | 0:19:24 | |
history. This is Hurricane Maria
which hit Puerto Rico particularly | 0:19:24 | 0:19:34 | |
hard. Recently, still we were
covering the wildfires in California | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
in December, close to a quarter of a
million people had to leave homes | 0:19:37 | 0:19:42 | |
and these wildfires were the most
destructive on record in this part | 0:19:42 | 0:19:46 | |
of the US. So, huge costs, let's
speak about this. Who picks up the | 0:19:46 | 0:19:56 | |
bill? Partly there will be insurance
company bills. Last week we had a | 0:19:56 | 0:20:01 | |
German insurance company that came
out with a number, the number was | 0:20:01 | 0:20:04 | |
global and not just for the US but
the US given the hurricanes you | 0:20:04 | 0:20:09 | |
mentioned and wild fires and other
disasters that we have had, does | 0:20:09 | 0:20:13 | |
constitute a large bulk of that
amount and they said it costs the | 0:20:13 | 0:20:19 | |
insurance triabout $135 billion but
they said overall, including the | 0:20:19 | 0:20:24 | |
uninsured losses, the number is
around $330 billion. You can see | 0:20:24 | 0:20:28 | |
that is a wide gap, the reason for
that is there is still a lot of | 0:20:28 | 0:20:33 | |
small businesses, individuals who
don't necessarily take insurance | 0:20:33 | 0:20:36 | |
here in the US. So while you will
have authorities footing that bill, | 0:20:36 | 0:20:40 | |
some part will be insurance
companies, a lot will be borne by | 0:20:40 | 0:20:45 | |
individuals as well as small
businesses. But it's also going | 0:20:45 | 0:20:49 | |
ahead, it's going to be difficult
even for people who want to rush in | 0:20:49 | 0:20:52 | |
and get insurance, in some parts of
the country certainly it's going to | 0:20:52 | 0:20:56 | |
be harder to do that. As we covered
these stories there seems to be a | 0:20:56 | 0:21:01 | |
consensus amongst scientists,
politicians, that climate change is | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
driving more extreme weather and
perhaps we should expect another | 0:21:04 | 0:21:09 | |
record year sooner rather than
later. That's right. This is | 0:21:09 | 0:21:13 | |
something also with the independent
assurance companies anticipating as | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
well as that report we have had
today that we have not seen the | 0:21:16 | 0:21:18 | |
worst yet and it could just get
worse from here on. That's why the | 0:21:18 | 0:21:24 | |
future is so important that, will
people be able to get insurance, | 0:21:24 | 0:21:27 | |
there are parts of Florida, for
example, where it's difficult for | 0:21:27 | 0:21:31 | |
people to get insurance and I think
going ahead the problems really | 0:21:31 | 0:21:35 | |
amplify. Stay with us, we want to
ask about two stories. This is the | 0:21:35 | 0:21:40 | |
other. Two of Apple's big
shareholders say the company needs | 0:21:40 | 0:21:44 | |
to do more to help teenagers and
younger children to put down | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
devices, the concern is about
addiction and the impact on mental | 0:21:47 | 0:21:51 | |
health. The guess is how much
leverage do shareholders have? They | 0:21:51 | 0:21:59 | |
are quite big shareholders. One is
actually teachers pension fund,s had | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
something you might have expected
from an investor like that because | 0:22:02 | 0:22:06 | |
we have had examples in America of
investors who are, for example, | 0:22:06 | 0:22:10 | |
pension funds taking up social
causes or asking for changes in the | 0:22:10 | 0:22:15 | |
way a particular company operates
because for a social cause. But the | 0:22:15 | 0:22:19 | |
other big investor, which is a huge
investor, billions of dlas in its | 0:22:19 | 0:22:24 | |
fund, that is surprising for a
statement like that to come from | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
them, as far as investors what
they're saying in the letter to | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
Apple is this will make good
business sense if you start paying | 0:22:30 | 0:22:33 | |
attention to health issues,
eventually in the long run it will | 0:22:33 | 0:22:38 | |
make business sense because they say
there's growing societal unease that | 0:22:38 | 0:22:41 | |
at least some people might be
getting too much of a good thing. If | 0:22:41 | 0:22:45 | |
you look at what have they asked
Apple to do, they've asked them to | 0:22:45 | 0:22:49 | |
spread awareness among parents about
possible addiction and what they can | 0:22:49 | 0:22:54 | |
do to reduce iPhone usage by their
children and to also study the | 0:22:54 | 0:22:58 | |
impact on mental health of being
addicted to your phone. In that | 0:22:58 | 0:23:03 | |
sense I think for the company to
respond to that, which it so far | 0:23:03 | 0:23:08 | |
hasn't, they're in an easy spot but
remember this also comes off the | 0:23:08 | 0:23:12 | |
back of last week and the week
before we were talking about iPhones | 0:23:12 | 0:23:17 | |
- Apple being on the back foot and
they had to say they were slowing | 0:23:17 | 0:23:22 | |
down iPhones because of battery
issues. Of course it's not good news | 0:23:22 | 0:23:26 | |
investors have said this. But in
that sense they're not really in a | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
sticky spot. What's also interesting
is on the issue of children using | 0:23:29 | 0:23:34 | |
social media or technology normally
the onus is on parents or teachers | 0:23:34 | 0:23:40 | |
or children themselves to take
responsibility. As tech companies | 0:23:40 | 0:23:42 | |
get pulled into that discussion it's
going to be interesting to see them | 0:23:42 | 0:23:47 | |
respond. That's right. This is not -
it's a talking point in the US, you | 0:23:47 | 0:23:53 | |
will remember a former Facebook
executive also talked about saying | 0:23:53 | 0:23:56 | |
Facebook was designed in a way that
it was meant to be addictive. This | 0:23:56 | 0:24:00 | |
is suddenly become a talking point.
I think in many ways that's what the | 0:24:00 | 0:24:04 | |
investors in their letter are
saying, that people are beginning to | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
talk about this, there is unease
about it, if you start addressing it | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
you will be ahead of the curve and
eventually it will make good | 0:24:10 | 0:24:14 | |
business sense. Thank you very much.
Telling us about pressure on Apple | 0:24:14 | 0:24:21 | |
and that issue and also talking to
us about 2017 being the costliest | 0:24:21 | 0:24:25 | |
year on record in terms of natural
disasters in the US. Let's talk | 0:24:25 | 0:24:31 | |
about the French President. He is in
China. He has been in Beijing. He is | 0:24:31 | 0:24:35 | |
calling for a more balanced approach
from the Chinese to trade with the | 0:24:35 | 0:24:39 | |
rest of the world. We will have to
see if they're ready to listen top | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
that. He says France is going to be
taking the lead on getting access to | 0:24:42 | 0:24:48 | |
China. He was elected in France as
the champion of globalisation, at | 0:24:48 | 0:24:53 | |
the same time, he said I am all for
free trade but not for naivety. He | 0:24:53 | 0:24:58 | |
will try to balance the tone and
send a message that France is open | 0:24:58 | 0:25:03 | |
for business, wants to sell more to
China, is happy about Chinese | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
companies coming to France but also
wants to retain some sort of control | 0:25:06 | 0:25:13 | |
over investment and in compensation
also wants China to lose their own | 0:25:13 | 0:25:17 | |
rules on foreign investment. Thank
you very much. In the second half of | 0:25:17 | 0:25:23 | |
Outside Source we will be live in
Westminster because this was a much | 0:25:23 | 0:25:29 | |
anticipated day. Theresa May's been
reshuffling her Cabinet. We will | 0:25:29 | 0:25:32 | |
hear who is up and who is down and,
frankly, who stayed put, because a | 0:25:32 | 0:25:37 | |
lot of the big guns within the
Government have not shifted their | 0:25:37 | 0:25:41 | |
portfolio. We will run you through
everything that's happened in | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
Westminster. Any questions on that
send them my way. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:48 | |
I will put them to Leila. We will
speak to you in a few minutes' time. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:56 | |
Hello. Plenty to talk about in world
weather at the moment. Let's start | 0:26:07 | 0:26:12 | |
off in North America. The talking
point here is the big freeze | 0:26:12 | 0:26:16 | |
affecting eastern Canada and the
north-east of the USA. There is | 0:26:16 | 0:26:21 | |
signs of something less cold over
the next few days. It's a weather | 0:26:21 | 0:26:25 | |
front bringing snow out of the Great
Lakes and down to the south, we | 0:26:25 | 0:26:29 | |
could see freezing rain. We will
need to keep an eye on that. The | 0:26:29 | 0:26:33 | |
snow across Canada affecting Quebec,
some snow flurries through New York. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:39 | |
Freezing rain possibly across
Nashville, Tennessee and Georgia and | 0:26:39 | 0:26:43 | |
that could be an issue. Indications
of things getting milder over the | 0:26:43 | 0:26:48 | |
next few days. Temperatures above
freezing, the first time that's | 0:26:48 | 0:26:53 | |
happened so far this year.
Across to Australia. It's a real | 0:26:53 | 0:26:58 | |
different story. Heatwave conditions
across the south-east. But as you | 0:26:58 | 0:27:02 | |
can see from the satellite some
sharp showers here marking an end to | 0:27:02 | 0:27:09 | |
that extreme heatwave: We need to
keep a close eye to the north-west, | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
potential for a storm here. The
sharp showers through Sydney is | 0:27:12 | 0:27:16 | |
helping to bring a lowering of
temperatures. 36. That could | 0:27:16 | 0:27:20 | |
potentially bring localised flooding
as well. Staying with a risk of | 0:27:20 | 0:27:25 | |
heavy rain, plenty of it from an
ex-cyclone which is now leaving from | 0:27:25 | 0:27:36 | |
Madgascar.
By contrast, we are going now to | 0:27:36 | 0:27:44 | |
cold and snow, particularly in
Europe and particularly in Spain | 0:27:44 | 0:27:47 | |
where it's been bitterly cold with
heavy snow and early on Monday | 0:27:47 | 0:27:51 | |
morning temperatures fell down to
lows of minus eight which is very | 0:27:51 | 0:27:55 | |
unusual for them even for this time
of year. Another weather front | 0:27:55 | 0:28:00 | |
bringing more stormy weather
conditions into Portugal and Spain | 0:28:00 | 0:28:03 | |
and that, as it bumps into higher
ground, will eventually bring more | 0:28:03 | 0:28:06 | |
snow but it's going to be rain and
some of that heavy indeed. A brief | 0:28:06 | 0:28:13 | |
lull in proceedings across the
Pryeneese. Still stormy and sharp | 0:28:13 | 0:28:19 | |
showers to come through France and
snow to the Alps and still a | 0:28:19 | 0:28:23 | |
potential for heavy rain as that
system clears through across central | 0:28:23 | 0:28:26 | |
Italy where we have seen localised
flooding across Rome with heavy rain | 0:28:26 | 0:28:31 | |
in recent days. Good news for those
heading over to the Alps, some very | 0:28:31 | 0:28:37 | |
heavy snowfall to higher ground.
There has been rain at lower levels, | 0:28:37 | 0:28:41 | |
but this was a couple of days ago,
plenty of fresh snow at the moment. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:46 | |
Back to the UK, things are quieter.
A grey day on Tuesday. Patchy fog | 0:28:46 | 0:28:51 | |
around first thing in the morning.
Milder wind will bring some rain by | 0:28:51 | 0:28:55 | |
the end of the day. Take care. | 0:28:55 | 0:28:58 | |
Hello - I'm Ros Atkins,
this is Outside Source, | 0:30:11 | 0:30:15 | |
and these are some of the main
stories here in the BBC Newsroom: | 0:30:15 | 0:30:22 | |
Women and men wore black
in solidarity with the victims | 0:30:22 | 0:30:24 | |
of sexual violence and harassment,
and with the speech of the night did | 0:30:24 | 0:30:27 | |
a new political contender emerge? | 0:30:27 | 0:30:30 | |
The new day is on the horizon! | 0:30:30 | 0:30:34 | |
Here at the BBC, Carrie Gracie's
been explaining why she's quit | 0:30:34 | 0:30:36 | |
as our China editor. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:37 | |
I cannot collude in what I see as
unlawful pay discrimination. | 0:30:37 | 0:30:48 | |
And Theresa May has been
reshuffling her cabinet - | 0:30:48 | 0:30:51 | |
the Education Secretary Justine
Greening has left the Government, | 0:30:51 | 0:30:53 | |
but other senior figures
are staying in their posts - | 0:30:53 | 0:30:55 | |
we'll be live in Westminster
for the latest. | 0:30:55 | 0:30:57 | |
That in a moment. | 0:30:57 | 0:31:08 | |
Around 200,000 Salvadorans living
in the US are being given | 0:31:10 | 0:31:14 | |
18 months to leave. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:19 | |
The government has ended
the immigration scheme that | 0:31:19 | 0:31:27 | |
had allowed them to stay. | 0:31:27 | 0:31:28 | |
It's called the Temporary Protected
Status programme, or TPS. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:30 | |
It came in 1990, designed to help
people affected by natural | 0:31:30 | 0:31:33 | |
disasters and conflicts. | 0:31:33 | 0:31:36 | |
Thousands of people from El Salvador
became eligible after two | 0:31:36 | 0:31:38 | |
earthquakes in 2001. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:47 | |
Salvadorans are getting
a lot of attention - | 0:31:47 | 0:31:49 | |
the biggest group affected,
but thousands of Haitians | 0:31:49 | 0:31:51 | |
and Nicaraguans have also been told
they must leave. | 0:31:51 | 0:31:53 | |
Hondurans have a temporary extension
so their future is still unclear. | 0:31:53 | 0:31:55 | |
Here's the latest from
Luis Fajardo, BBC Mundo, Miami. | 0:31:55 | 0:32:04 | |
There are some moments of anguish
hin ere the Salvadoran | 0:32:04 | 0:32:07 | |
community in the US. | 0:32:07 | 0:32:11 | |
As you were mentioning they have
been given 18 months to leave, | 0:32:11 | 0:32:14 | |
and in many cases they have children
who are US citizens. | 0:32:14 | 0:32:17 | |
Something like one quarter of them
are homeowners, so they have | 0:32:17 | 0:32:19 | |
their entire lives built in the US,
and now they are being told that | 0:32:19 | 0:32:23 | |
they have to move to a country where
perhaps their children have never | 0:32:23 | 0:32:26 | |
been, and they are not being given
a lot of choices right now. | 0:32:26 | 0:32:29 | |
But isn't the argument
of the government that this | 0:32:29 | 0:32:31 | |
was only ever supposed to be
a temporary status? | 0:32:31 | 0:32:33 | |
That's right, that's
what President Trump's | 0:32:33 | 0:32:35 | |
supporters have been saying,
that this was from the very | 0:32:35 | 0:32:37 | |
beginning a temporary situation
for humanitarian reasons. | 0:32:37 | 0:32:41 | |
However, the counter-argument that
critics of President Trump have been | 0:32:41 | 0:32:44 | |
espousing these few days is that
Salvadorans in this community | 0:32:44 | 0:32:46 | |
have their lives built here,
they have been successful | 0:32:46 | 0:32:56 | |
as immigrants in the US,
and there is not such a strong | 0:32:59 | 0:33:02 | |
argument to send them to a country
that is one of the most violent | 0:33:02 | 0:33:06 | |
countries in the world,
in El Salvador, a country that has | 0:33:06 | 0:33:08 | |
enormous economic problems
of its own, and it is going | 0:33:08 | 0:33:11 | |
to inevitably also create some
instability in El Salvador, | 0:33:11 | 0:33:13 | |
and that, the critics argue,
would not be in the interests | 0:33:13 | 0:33:15 | |
of the US. | 0:33:15 | 0:33:16 | |
And in terms of how this
is going to be enforced, | 0:33:16 | 0:33:19 | |
what is the government's plan? | 0:33:19 | 0:33:27 | |
The government has been saying
that they are giving an 18-month | 0:33:27 | 0:33:30 | |
period so people can
put their affairs in order. | 0:33:30 | 0:33:32 | |
They say that they can
look for other avenues, | 0:33:32 | 0:33:34 | |
other legal avenues,
to stay in the country. | 0:33:34 | 0:33:36 | |
However, this is going to be very
difficult, and this is precisely | 0:33:36 | 0:33:39 | |
what critics are underlining,
that the situation is going | 0:33:39 | 0:33:41 | |
to create very complicated family
situations where families might have | 0:33:41 | 0:33:50 | |
to decide between breaking up,
and their children, | 0:33:50 | 0:33:52 | |
their US citizen children,
staying in the country, and others | 0:33:52 | 0:33:54 | |
going back to El Salvador,
or otherwise trying to start | 0:33:54 | 0:33:56 | |
new lives in a country
that is going to appear in many | 0:33:56 | 0:33:59 | |
ways foreign to them. | 0:33:59 | 0:34:09 | |
Thanks, and remember if you speak
Spanish you can follow that on the | 0:34:17 | 0:34:20 | |
website. | 0:34:20 | 0:34:25 | |
Let's get the latest on the Cabinet
reshuffle. | 0:34:25 | 0:34:27 | |
Downing Street has been busy today
with a cabinet reshuffle underway. | 0:34:27 | 0:34:30 | |
So what moves has Prime
Minster Theresa May made? | 0:34:30 | 0:34:32 | |
Well, Education Secretary Justine
Greening has resigned | 0:34:32 | 0:34:34 | |
after refusing to move
to Work and Pensions. | 0:34:34 | 0:34:36 | |
She's replaced by this
man, Damian Hinds. | 0:34:36 | 0:34:37 | |
We also know Matt Hancock
is the new Culture Secretary. | 0:34:37 | 0:34:40 | |
He replaces Karen Bradley, who
becomes Northern Ireland Secretary. | 0:34:40 | 0:34:42 | |
James Brokenshire resigned that
post for health reasons. | 0:34:42 | 0:34:50 | |
Those are some of the headlines. | 0:34:50 | 0:34:51 | |
Let's go to Leila Nathoo,
at Westminster. | 0:34:51 | 0:34:53 | |
I guess this is as much about who
didn't move as who did? Yes, the | 0:34:53 | 0:35:00 | |
overall picture is certainly quite
limited reshuffle. The biggest jobs, | 0:35:00 | 0:35:04 | |
Home Secretary, Foreign Secretary,
Chancellor, the man in charge of | 0:35:04 | 0:35:08 | |
Brexit, they all remained where they
were and there was some limited | 0:35:08 | 0:35:12 | |
movement in the middle ranks,
really, of Theresa May's top team. | 0:35:12 | 0:35:16 | |
Remember she is constrained in her
authority by how bold she can be in | 0:35:16 | 0:35:20 | |
her reshuffle, but there were a
couple of upsets. You mentioned | 0:35:20 | 0:35:23 | |
Justine Greening quitting the
Government. She was to be moved from | 0:35:23 | 0:35:35 | |
Education Secretary to be in charge
of Work and Pensions, but she | 0:35:35 | 0:35:37 | |
refused to do so and has therefore
resign from the Government. And the | 0:35:37 | 0:35:40 | |
Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, he
had been a candidate for being moved | 0:35:40 | 0:35:42 | |
as well but he apparently persuaded
the Prime Minister of the merits of | 0:35:42 | 0:35:45 | |
letting him stay in post and have an
expanded brief of taking over social | 0:35:45 | 0:35:50 | |
care, so a few upsets related
Theresa May's plans. And the Jeremy | 0:35:50 | 0:35:54 | |
Hunt decision is important because
of the huge pressure on the National | 0:35:54 | 0:35:58 | |
Health Service at the moment and the
political pressure on the Government | 0:35:58 | 0:36:01 | |
because of an? Absolutely. Jeremy
Hunt has been in charge of the NHS | 0:36:01 | 0:36:05 | |
for some time. He has | 0:36:05 | 0:36:17 | |
been in some eyes a controversial
figure, presiding over major changes | 0:36:21 | 0:36:23 | |
to the way the health system is run.
Now, he had been tipped to possibly | 0:36:23 | 0:36:26 | |
move departments, but certainly
Theresa May seems to have been | 0:36:26 | 0:36:28 | |
convinced that the continuity,
having someone with experience, is | 0:36:28 | 0:36:30 | |
the better choice in this job. He
seemingly made a strong case for | 0:36:30 | 0:36:32 | |
remaining in his role, and the idea
that health and social care should | 0:36:32 | 0:36:35 | |
be linked, something the Government
has been very keen to stress, that | 0:36:35 | 0:36:37 | |
those two aspects of care should be
linked, so Jeremy Hunt's taking on | 0:36:37 | 0:36:42 | |
an expanded brief, really, in charge
of the NHS and social care when he | 0:36:42 | 0:36:46 | |
had in fact been tipped to be moved.
What is the story with Justine | 0:36:46 | 0:36:54 | |
Greening, Leila, why would she
turned that down? I think she felt | 0:36:54 | 0:36:58 | |
very strongly about her role in
education. In recent days she had | 0:36:58 | 0:37:02 | |
been mooted as someone who was going
to be moved and that obviously does | 0:37:02 | 0:37:06 | |
not inspire confidence, she
recognised the Government had lost | 0:37:06 | 0:37:09 | |
confidence in her and her role. She
said on the BBC that she is | 0:37:09 | 0:37:14 | |
continuing to work for social
mobility, she wants to promote the | 0:37:14 | 0:37:18 | |
equality of opportunity and social
mobility and says she will continue | 0:37:18 | 0:37:20 | |
to do that outside the Government
and she says that is more important | 0:37:20 | 0:37:32 | |
than having any ministerial role, so
it is clear that if she couldn't | 0:37:32 | 0:37:34 | |
have education she didn't really
want anything else but I think that | 0:37:34 | 0:37:37 | |
is the biggest upset tonight of
Theresa May's reshuffle plans, that | 0:37:37 | 0:37:39 | |
Justine Greening has quit the
Government and has not taken the | 0:37:39 | 0:37:41 | |
poster she was offered. Leila,
thanks for keeping us up-to-date. We | 0:37:41 | 0:37:43 | |
appreciate it. Let's move to the
East China Seas. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:46 | |
Fears of an environmental disaster
in the East China Sea. | 0:37:46 | 0:37:49 | |
An oil tanker collided
with a cargo ship two days ago - | 0:37:49 | 0:37:52 | |
it's leaking - and it's in danger
of exploding and sinking. | 0:37:52 | 0:37:54 | |
You can see this ship
in these pictures. | 0:37:54 | 0:37:58 | |
We know it was carrying almost
a million barrels of condensate - | 0:37:58 | 0:38:01 | |
that's an ultra-light version
of crude oil. | 0:38:01 | 0:38:03 | |
It's not thick or black
and it doesn't smell. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:05 | |
But it is toxic and it's
colourless - which makes it | 0:38:05 | 0:38:07 | |
much harder to detect. | 0:38:08 | 0:38:10 | |
We don't know how this happened,
but we do know where this happened. | 0:38:10 | 0:38:13 | |
The ship left the Kharg
Islands in Iran. | 0:38:13 | 0:38:16 | |
It was heading to South Korea. | 0:38:16 | 0:38:19 | |
But it collided with the cargo ship
around 250km off the coast | 0:38:19 | 0:38:22 | |
of Shanghai in the mouth
of the Yangtze River Delta. | 0:38:22 | 0:38:32 | |
This is a human tragedy
as well, I should say - | 0:38:34 | 0:38:37 | |
there are 32 crew members -
one body has been found, | 0:38:37 | 0:38:39 | |
the others are missing. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:40 | |
Robin Brant has more. | 0:38:40 | 0:38:41 | |
I think the focus is certainly
shifting towards the potential to be | 0:38:41 | 0:38:44 | |
disastrous, actually. | 0:38:44 | 0:38:45 | |
When you look at the
amount of oil on board | 0:38:45 | 0:38:48 | |
Sanchi, nearly a million
barrels of this stuff. | 0:38:48 | 0:38:50 | |
It's called condensate actually -
it's not the thick crude we often | 0:38:50 | 0:38:52 | |
expect to see in these
kind of incidents. | 0:38:52 | 0:38:54 | |
When you look at that volume it
has the potential to be | 0:38:54 | 0:38:57 | |
the worst kind of spill
of its kind since 1991, | 0:38:57 | 0:39:00 | |
but the focus definitely
at the moment as we approach what | 0:39:00 | 0:39:05 | |
will be night number three
for the search and rescue operation | 0:39:05 | 0:39:09 | |
remains trying to find
the 31 remaining members | 0:39:09 | 0:39:11 | |
who are still missing. | 0:39:11 | 0:39:12 | |
30 of those on board
the Sanchi were Iranian, | 0:39:12 | 0:39:15 | |
two were Bangladeshi. | 0:39:15 | 0:39:16 | |
We know that one body has been
discovered at the moment but that | 0:39:16 | 0:39:19 | |
person remained unidentified,
so it appears, as we | 0:39:19 | 0:39:29 | |
head into Monday night
here on the east coast of China, | 0:39:32 | 0:39:35 | |
that 31 people are still missing
from | 0:39:35 | 0:39:36 | |
this vessel, and their fate
looks increasingly grim. | 0:39:36 | 0:39:38 | |
But the environmental
impact could be huge, | 0:39:38 | 0:39:40 | |
The | 0:39:40 | 0:39:40 | |
and as I said there are some issues
in their favour in terms of | 0:39:40 | 0:39:44 | |
mitigating the possible
impact of this spill, | 0:39:44 | 0:39:45 | |
and going against -
the stuff on board Sanchi | 0:39:45 | 0:39:47 | |
and there's lots of it,
136,000 tonnes of condensate, | 0:39:47 | 0:39:50 | |
like I said, a refined form of oil,
far less dense, colourless | 0:39:50 | 0:39:53 | |
and odourless and more explosive. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:57 | |
All of that means it's hard
particularly at this time for | 0:39:57 | 0:40:00 | |
the rescue operation involved to see
the extent of the spill. | 0:40:00 | 0:40:02 | |
Going in their favour
slightly is the fact | 0:40:02 | 0:40:05 | |
that it is some 200 miles off
the eastern coast of Shanghai | 0:40:05 | 0:40:08 | |
from where I am speaking
to you at the moment, | 0:40:08 | 0:40:13 | |
so not near the huge
conurbation that is this city. | 0:40:13 | 0:40:17 | |

Let's talk about a place called
Stockton in California, named the | 0:40:28 | 0:40:32 | |
most miserable city in America in
2011, but we have been told that has | 0:40:32 | 0:40:37 | |
been changing, in part thanks to a
27-year-old mayor, the youngest city | 0:40:37 | 0:40:41 | |
reader in all of the country. From
Stockton, he went to Stanford | 0:40:41 | 0:40:46 | |
University for his education and
after graduating he travelled, even | 0:40:46 | 0:40:51 | |
worked at the White House before
tragedy brought him home, and he has | 0:40:51 | 0:40:55 | |
made this report with the BBC. A
very violent day in Stockton, five | 0:40:55 | 0:41:01 | |
people dead... | 0:41:01 | 0:41:10 | |
In one of Stockton's
deadliest days on record. | 0:41:10 | 0:41:12 | |
Stockton stands as the largest US
city to declare bankruptcy. | 0:41:12 | 0:41:15 | |
There's a lot of love,
there's also a lot of pain. | 0:41:15 | 0:41:17 | |
My childhood and upbringing
is probably the primary reason why | 0:41:17 | 0:41:20 | |
I am on the path I am on today. | 0:41:20 | 0:41:22 | |
Sometimes I pinch myself. | 0:41:22 | 0:41:23 | |
Like, yo, you're the mayor! | 0:41:23 | 0:41:24 | |
Especially when it comes to things
like problem-solving, | 0:41:24 | 0:41:26 | |
why don't they do it like that? | 0:41:26 | 0:41:28 | |
Why aren't you doing it? | 0:41:28 | 0:41:29 | |
You're the Mayor! | 0:41:29 | 0:41:30 | |
Or you can at least call
the people that can do it. | 0:41:30 | 0:41:36 | |
In Stockton, I lived in four out
of the five hot zone areas, | 0:41:36 | 0:41:39 | |
areas that are currently having
a lot of the city's | 0:41:39 | 0:41:41 | |
violent crime issues. | 0:41:41 | 0:41:42 | |
My father has been
incarcerated all my life. | 0:41:42 | 0:41:44 | |
My mother had me as a teenager. | 0:41:44 | 0:41:46 | |
So growing up in poverty,
a lot of the things I now do policy | 0:41:46 | 0:41:49 | |
work on, or research,
or read about or speak about, | 0:41:49 | 0:41:52 | |
are things that I have lived
and felt very viscerally. | 0:41:52 | 0:41:58 | |
I literally had no intention
of coming back to Stockton | 0:41:58 | 0:42:00 | |
when I graduated high school. | 0:42:00 | 0:42:01 | |
I spent time in El Salvador,
I was in DC, working | 0:42:01 | 0:42:04 | |
in the White House. | 0:42:04 | 0:42:07 | |
There were a lot of options
available, and Stockton | 0:42:07 | 0:42:09 | |
wasn't one of them. | 0:42:09 | 0:42:10 | |
One of my cousins was
murdered in Stockton. | 0:42:10 | 0:42:15 | |
And that kind of shifted the whole
paradigm around what it | 0:42:15 | 0:42:18 | |
meant to be successful
and what it was I wanted to do. | 0:42:18 | 0:42:23 | |
So today is a really
exciting day for the city. | 0:42:23 | 0:42:33 | |
We have a venue around Heroes Park,
and about the work this | 0:42:35 | 0:42:45 | |
church
has done in replacing | 0:42:47 | 0:42:48 | |
the backboard that was vandalised
a couple of months ago. | 0:42:48 | 0:42:50 | |
It's a great day in the city. | 0:42:50 | 0:42:52 | |
It shows how in Stockton
it is regular people that | 0:42:52 | 0:42:54 | |
are driving a lot of the change. | 0:42:54 | 0:42:56 | |
Often times, it's hard
to convey the amount of work, | 0:42:56 | 0:42:58 | |
discipline and sacrifice it takes
to get into a position like this, | 0:42:58 | 0:43:01 | |
especially if you're
the first or the youngest. | 0:43:01 | 0:43:03 | |
Even more so, both. | 0:43:03 | 0:43:04 | |
What you think of Stockton now? | 0:43:04 | 0:43:06 | |
Stockton is a city on the rise. | 0:43:06 | 0:43:07 | |
I think Stockton is
the all-American city. | 0:43:07 | 0:43:09 | |
It's a place where you
can make an impact. | 0:43:09 | 0:43:11 | |
My grandmother used to always
tell me the Scripture - | 0:43:11 | 0:43:14 | |
don't despise small beginnings. | 0:43:14 | 0:43:15 | |
The Lord rejoices in
seeing the work begin. | 0:43:15 | 0:43:17 | |
I'm personally getting a lot
of attention, but I would be | 0:43:17 | 0:43:19 | |
so upset if we can't look back four
years from now and can't point | 0:43:19 | 0:43:23 | |
to things that are better,
but for me and my team being here. | 0:43:23 | 0:43:26 | |
What a remarkable guy. Every day on
Outside Source we bring you the best | 0:43:26 | 0:43:31 | |
of the day's International
journalism, and we will know move | 0:43:31 | 0:43:36 | |
from Stockton to Africa, a report by
Andrew Harding on renewable energy, | 0:43:36 | 0:43:39 | |
which is very slowly gaining
traction in Africa, solar and wind | 0:43:39 | 0:43:44 | |
power devices bringing power to
rural communities, touching millions | 0:43:44 | 0:43:47 | |
of lives. Here is Andrew's story. | 0:43:47 | 0:44:00 | |
On a flooded path in rural Zambia,
Africa's past meets Africa's future. | 0:44:01 | 0:44:04 | |
There is the old broken bridge,
a symbol of the creaking | 0:44:04 | 0:44:06 | |
infrastructure still holding back
development on this continent. | 0:44:06 | 0:44:08 | |
And there, perched on Judith's
head, sits the future. | 0:44:08 | 0:44:11 | |
Judith is a solar power saleswoman,
on the way to a new client. | 0:44:11 | 0:44:16 | |
She works for one of several
companies now making inroads. | 0:44:16 | 0:44:19 | |
In the countryside,
here and across Africa, | 0:44:19 | 0:44:20 | |
almost no one is on the grid. | 0:44:20 | 0:44:29 | |
The costs, the distances,
or just too big. | 0:44:29 | 0:44:31 | |
But today small solar
panels are changing lives, | 0:44:31 | 0:44:33 | |
and saving poor families a small
fortune in kerosene and batteries. | 0:44:33 | 0:44:35 | |
Inside a box full of software allows
the company to make its profit, | 0:44:35 | 0:44:38 | |
charging a monthly fee for power
for the first year and a half. | 0:44:38 | 0:44:48 | |
It's much better because we don't
even really know when electricity | 0:44:52 | 0:44:54 | |
is going to come to a community such
as this one, but if we have people | 0:44:54 | 0:44:58 | |
that are bringing in such technology
then it's better for this community. | 0:44:58 | 0:45:01 | |
So you jump ahead, you leapfrog? | 0:45:01 | 0:45:02 | |
Yeah. | 0:45:02 | 0:45:03 | |
That idea of leapfrogging over
old infrastructure is not | 0:45:03 | 0:45:06 | |
entirely new here in Africa. | 0:45:06 | 0:45:12 | |
The Trailblazer is something you'll
now find in almost every hand. | 0:45:12 | 0:45:14 | |
The speed and the success
of the mobile phone revolution | 0:45:14 | 0:45:17 | |
in Africa has been extraordinary. | 0:45:17 | 0:45:18 | |
It has transformed this continent,
and it has made a lot of other | 0:45:18 | 0:45:21 | |
businesses start to think,
why can't we do the same? | 0:45:21 | 0:45:31 | |
In a way it is a surprise the solar
industry has not been quicker off | 0:45:31 | 0:45:36 | |
the mark in this sun-drenched
region. They are moving fast now, | 0:45:36 | 0:45:41 | |
with plants like this one almost
operational. The impact on a vast | 0:45:41 | 0:45:45 | |
continent could be profound as power
generation goes local. We see the | 0:45:45 | 0:45:51 | |
continent being electrified, not on
the basis of large central power | 0:45:51 | 0:45:54 | |
stations with a large transmission
grid, but rather on the basis of | 0:45:54 | 0:45:58 | |
smaller micro grids. And it will
transform this continent? Because it | 0:45:58 | 0:46:03 | |
gives power to the people quicker
than the conventional way, so there | 0:46:03 | 0:46:07 | |
is the potential for faster economic
development which always flows to | 0:46:07 | 0:46:14 | |
electricity. For all this
continent's green potential there is | 0:46:14 | 0:46:17 | |
still the politics to content with.
Here in South Africa for instance | 0:46:17 | 0:46:22 | |
the government remains preoccupied
with coal-fired power stations and | 0:46:22 | 0:46:25 | |
with lucrative nuclear contracts.
That is not going to stop Africa's | 0:46:25 | 0:46:29 | |
energy revolution, but it could slow
down. But back in rural Zambia, the | 0:46:29 | 0:46:35 | |
word is spreading fast. The
brand-new solar panel has been | 0:46:35 | 0:46:40 | |
charging on the roof all day, and in
a pitch dark Farmhouse... | 0:46:40 | 0:46:51 | |
The first taste of electric light,
light for on work, late | 0:46:51 | 0:46:59 | |
-- light for progress,
as a continent seeks | 0:46:59 | 0:47:01 | |
to leapfrog into the future. | 0:47:01 | 0:47:03 | |
Andrew Harding, BBC News, Zambia. | 0:47:03 | 0:47:04 | |
If you have been watching since the
beginning of the programmes you will | 0:47:04 | 0:47:07 | |
know a number of our stories today
have looked at women's experience, | 0:47:07 | 0:47:11 | |
from the Golden globes to Carrie
Gracie's resignation here at the | 0:47:11 | 0:47:16 | |
BBC, to this next story which is a
study in Sweden which is found that | 0:47:16 | 0:47:19 | |
women are not getting the same
treatment as men after they have at | 0:47:19 | 0:47:23 | |
heart attacks. This is the
experience of one woman who almost | 0:47:23 | 0:47:28 | |
died five years ago. | 0:47:28 | 0:47:38 | |
Her name is Philippa Hicken. I was
not thinking I'm having a heart | 0:47:38 | 0:47:41 | |
attack and I need to go to hospital,
I was just thinking I need someone | 0:47:41 | 0:47:44 | |
to listen to me. My symptoms, aching
shoulder, neck, chest, almost | 0:47:44 | 0:47:49 | |
flu-like, they were put down to a
virus. | 0:47:49 | 0:47:51 | |
Katie Silver is the BBC's
health reporter. | 0:47:51 | 0:47:53 | |
I asked her if this issue
of gender is specific to this | 0:47:53 | 0:47:56 | |
type of heart attack -
or a more general problem. | 0:47:56 | 0:48:00 | |
It is a more general problem. So
basically what they did is looked at | 0:48:00 | 0:48:05 | |
180,000 different people who had
heart attacks in Sweden over a | 0:48:05 | 0:48:07 | |
10-year period, and they looked at
whether or not they were likely to | 0:48:07 | 0:48:11 | |
receive the treatment guidelines as
per the EU guidelines, and basically | 0:48:11 | 0:48:15 | |
in most cases with women they were
not receiving the guidelines | 0:48:15 | 0:48:18 | |
according to these treatment
protocol. And that was having an | 0:48:18 | 0:48:21 | |
effect on whether or not they were
likely to survive these heart | 0:48:21 | 0:48:25 | |
attacks, so there were three times
more likely to die in the years | 0:48:25 | 0:48:28 | |
following a heart attack because
they were not getting the same | 0:48:28 | 0:48:31 | |
treatment. But why not? If you think
of a stereotypical heart attack | 0:48:31 | 0:48:38 | |
patient, that it is a man with
diabetes may be overweight, | 0:48:38 | 0:48:42 | |
middle-aged, smokes, that is the
stereotype. So in the clip we just | 0:48:42 | 0:48:46 | |
saw, that woman, and perhaps the
doctors seeing her, they don't have | 0:48:46 | 0:48:50 | |
this idea of heart attacks being
associated with women, and that is | 0:48:50 | 0:48:53 | |
despite the fact that a third of
women in the UK, sorry, a third of | 0:48:53 | 0:48:57 | |
heart attack survivors in the UK are
actually women. Hold on, let me | 0:48:57 | 0:49:01 | |
understand this properly. This is
about doctors and their perception | 0:49:01 | 0:49:05 | |
of who needs the most help? It is
the perception of doctors and of the | 0:49:05 | 0:49:11 | |
patients themselves, about who is
likely to suffer from a heart | 0:49:11 | 0:49:13 | |
attack. So the idea is to change
perception around who might be | 0:49:13 | 0:49:18 | |
having these problems, so the
British Heart Foundation for example | 0:49:18 | 0:49:21 | |
says at least it is a very
compatible problem. We can change | 0:49:21 | 0:49:24 | |
this perception, and it is just
about raising awareness. How do they | 0:49:24 | 0:49:28 | |
propose to do that? I guess through
stories like this, through | 0:49:28 | 0:49:32 | |
campaigns. That is the future in
terms of looking at whether or not | 0:49:32 | 0:49:36 | |
now here in the UK whether the same
problem exists -- were the same | 0:49:36 | 0:49:41 | |
problem exists, making sure people
are more aware. Let's wrap up | 0:49:41 | 0:49:44 | |
today's programme. | 0:49:44 | 0:49:45 | |
Radiohead is suing Lana del Rey. | 0:49:45 | 0:49:46 | |
She's got a new album out. | 0:49:46 | 0:49:48 | |
Its closing track
is called Get Free. | 0:49:48 | 0:49:49 | |
Have a listen. | 0:49:50 | 0:49:59 | |
MUSIC: Get Free
by Lana del Rey | 0:50:06 | 0:50:10 | |
And then this is Creep from
Radiohead from 1992. | 0:50:11 | 0:50:15 | |
# Youth looked like a feather -- you
float like, in a beautiful world. | 0:50:15 | 0:50:28 | |
# I wish I was special.
# You're so very special | 0:50:28 | 0:50:36 | |
I'll let you make your mind up. | 0:50:40 | 0:50:42 | |
Lana Del Rey's confirmed the rumour. | 0:50:42 | 0:50:46 | |
"It's true about the lawsuit. | 0:50:46 | 0:50:47 | |
Although I know my song
wasn't inspired by Creep, | 0:50:47 | 0:50:49 | |
Radiohead feel it was and want 100%
of the publishing - | 0:50:49 | 0:50:52 | |
I offered up to 40 over the last few
months but they will | 0:50:52 | 0:50:55 | |
only accept 100. | 0:50:55 | 0:50:56 | |
Their lawyers have been relentless,
so we will deal with it in court." | 0:50:56 | 0:51:05 | |
Here's Chi Chi Izundu,
BBC's senior Entertainment Reporter. | 0:51:05 | 0:51:10 | |
She says this is going to go to
court, Lana del Rey, and the track | 0:51:10 | 0:51:17 | |
in question is off her latest album,
the track Get Free, as you have | 0:51:17 | 0:51:22 | |
heard. Radiohead are claiming it is
really like their track Creek, from | 0:51:22 | 0:51:30 | |
their album released in 1982. --
dirt track Creep. This is about | 0:51:30 | 0:51:37 | |
whether they have copied the same
card progression, so the knots that | 0:51:37 | 0:51:41 | |
hit at a specific time within the
melodies, are they exactly the same, | 0:51:41 | 0:51:44 | |
and is normally roughly, incredibly
roughly, how they decide whether | 0:51:44 | 0:51:50 | |
something has infringed copyright --
the notes. But Creep, the song that | 0:51:50 | 0:51:56 | |
Radiohead claim Lana del Rey
copyright, it was sued by copyright | 0:51:56 | 0:52:03 | |
by another band called the Hollies
said it was an exact copy of their | 0:52:03 | 0:52:10 | |
track The Area That I Breathe, and
they are people who take back | 0:52:10 | 0:52:15 | |
royalties from Creep. We won't know
what is going to happen and normally | 0:52:15 | 0:52:18 | |
these things take an incredibly long
time. It would have taken an | 0:52:18 | 0:52:22 | |
incredibly long time to get to this
point, even, because lawyers | 0:52:22 | 0:52:25 | |
normally thrash this out for ages
before it even becomes public | 0:52:25 | 0:52:29 | |
domain. There are musicologists
involved, experts involved, so | 0:52:29 | 0:52:33 | |
whether this does go to court or not
is anyone's guess at this point in | 0:52:33 | 0:52:37 | |
time. There have been other
high-profile cases in this domain. | 0:52:37 | 0:52:42 | |
Coldplay accused of taking her Joe
Satriani track, Mark Ronson as well, | 0:52:42 | 0:52:58 | |
and this was probably at the centre
of the most famous case... | 0:52:58 | 0:53:10 | |
That was Bloodlines By Robin Thicke,
and they had to pay money to Marvin | 0:53:16 | 0:53:25 | |
Gaye's estate. Here is their back on
that, not the end of the story. | 0:53:25 | 0:53:32 | |
Initially they were awarded $7
million when it came to royalties, | 0:53:32 | 0:53:36 | |
which was chopped down. However, it
is still worth noting how long these | 0:53:36 | 0:53:40 | |
things take because it is still
going through the courts today. The | 0:53:40 | 0:53:44 | |
Marvin Gaye estate and Pharrell
Williams and Robin Thicke, locked in | 0:53:44 | 0:53:48 | |
a legal battle over appeals, of what
to pay in financial compensation. | 0:53:48 | 0:53:54 | |
Other court cases, Ed Sheeran was
taken action against regarding one | 0:53:54 | 0:53:57 | |
of his popular tracks, Photograph,
two British writers said it sounded | 0:53:57 | 0:54:03 | |
a lot like one of their tracks, and
let's not forget that at the heart | 0:54:03 | 0:54:06 | |
of this it is copying. Radiohead
were accused of copying the Hollies, | 0:54:06 | 0:54:17 | |
and now they are accusing Lana del
Rey of copying their track. It is so | 0:54:17 | 0:54:27 | |
hard to come up with original music
these days and this is the problem | 0:54:27 | 0:54:31 | |
and why we will probably continue to
see a number of court cases similar | 0:54:31 | 0:54:34 | |
to theirs. Inspiration, coming up
with an original piece of music, | 0:54:34 | 0:54:37 | |
based on the chord structures that
already exist, is nearly impossible. | 0:54:37 | 0:54:41 | |
