:02:04. > :02:09.women charged more on sex as Thai street. Deborah will have strong
:02:10. > :02:16.views, but tell us what it is about -- on the high street. It has been
:02:17. > :02:20.staring us in the face for years. We have accepted it, and it is the way
:02:21. > :02:27.companies and shops charge women well for the same product, and this
:02:28. > :02:33.Times story by the consumer affairs editor, has brilliant examples. If
:02:34. > :02:40.you want to buy a scooter for a child in pink, it will cost ?5 more.

:03:03. > :03:11.bizarre reason cost less then goes' parents -- snick. -- 's secular. We
:03:12. > :03:15.have known about it but we have accepted it. We have not realise the
:03:16. > :03:23.huge disparities. They are shocking figures. It is so weird, because it
:03:24. > :03:30.is embarrassing to admit, but I have always bought men's races. --
:03:31. > :03:38.raises. Just because it is cheaper. I thought maybe the reason women's
:03:39. > :03:42.razors were more expensive is because they were in with something,
:03:43. > :03:53.but actually it is just that they are pink -- infused. An interesting
:03:54. > :03:58.story of something that has stayed us in the face for ages. The Times
:03:59. > :04:09.have analysed hundreds of products and, with these startling results.
:04:10. > :04:13.You have the reactions. The woman leading the committee in the Commons
:04:14. > :04:17.for women's equality is calling it unacceptable, and there is a
:04:18. > :04:22.suggestion retail bosses could be called before Parliament to justify
:04:23. > :04:34.this discrepancy tween men on whom are pricing. -- men and women's. We
:04:35. > :04:41.are 40 years on from equal pay but we know it is the gender pay still.
:04:42. > :04:46.Something as simple as spending money, you have to pay more if you
:04:47. > :04:53.are a female. There was an example of boys' pants being expensive, but
:04:54. > :04:59.they were examples of girls' costing more. It applies online as well.
:05:00. > :05:10.That will be an interesting investigation. Deborah, start us on
:05:11. > :05:18.the Daily Telegraph. They talk about David Cameron whacking a Muslim veil
:05:19. > :05:24.then -- backing. They have been clever picking up on comments that
:05:25. > :05:28.everyone else didn't really think about too much this morning, that
:05:29. > :05:39.the Prime Minister made on the Today programme where he says it could be
:05:40. > :05:45.possible for schools, courts, hospitals, border checks, those
:05:46. > :05:50.sorts of places, for women who have chosen to wear a veil to not be able
:05:51. > :05:56.to wear them, but people should have a right to choose what they want to
:05:57. > :06:03.read. He is not advocating Draconian systems like in France and Belgium
:06:04. > :06:07.-- what they want to wear. But this will probably if night that debate
:06:08. > :06:13.which has been long-running anyway. -- ignite. There is a whole package
:06:14. > :06:16.of measures such as the issue to deal with making Muslim women speak
:06:17. > :06:22.English, which has been controversial today. Apparently
:06:23. > :06:28.there will be other measures that will be announced. It is all aimed
:06:29. > :06:31.at stopping people from being radicalised and joining is an
:06:32. > :06:36.extent. An interesting point -- Islamic State. What is the
:06:37. > :06:40.connection? Getting people to speak English when they beat in the UK,
:06:41. > :06:46.that sounds sensible if a touch not practical. But going beyond that,
:06:47. > :06:52.that is different. Cameron did go beyond that today. There is enough
:06:53. > :07:04.meat in what he said about English lessons going one step you want. --
:07:05. > :07:14.beyond. Baroness Warsi called a lazy connection by saying that if a woman
:07:15. > :07:25.is here for 2.5 years and does not learn English, they can to -- be
:07:26. > :07:27.deported. And then British Muslims are being radicalised and deported
:07:28. > :07:33.into terrorism. That was today's story. The Telegraph have picked up
:07:34. > :07:39.on other comments made about the veil and how he would want it in
:07:40. > :07:46.certain circumstances like courts, council buildings perhaps where
:07:47. > :07:51.people are meeting where the public overlaps with the private, he would
:07:52. > :07:59.like to see the veil banned. It happens in France, Bolton and other
:08:00. > :08:06.bases in Europe -- Belgium. It feeds into that whole wider debate about
:08:07. > :08:18.multiculturalism and the liberation of women. Telling people what to
:08:19. > :08:23.wear. Tolerance is the British byword, and this does not seem very
:08:24. > :08:32.tolerant. Let's go to the Financial Times. I think it is your turn. It
:08:33. > :08:37.is our main news tonight, Chinese steel imports pushed mills to bring
:08:38. > :08:44.catastrophe. We are talking about Port Talbot being mothballed. This
:08:45. > :08:49.is a difficult and miserable thing for a lot of people. Devastating
:08:50. > :08:55.news. Widely expected where they were stacking steel in the car park
:08:56. > :09:00.because they could not sell it. About 1000 people using their jobs
:09:01. > :09:06.in Port Talbot and other plants across Britain. But from the grim
:09:07. > :09:12.news of the job losses, what is to come? China, which has been blamed
:09:13. > :09:17.for this lot of steel on the world market, is now trying to go for what
:09:18. > :09:26.is called market economy status with the World Trade Organisation. That
:09:27. > :09:31.means an economy where people buy and sell under state subsidy. We
:09:32. > :09:36.know China has not, and there have been warnings that this will cost
:09:37. > :09:42.Europeans millions of jobs and pounds in lost production because we
:09:43. > :09:47.will be flooded with Chinese goods. If people think this is blue-collar
:09:48. > :09:56.jobs, it is not. You will see paralegal, accountancy, professional
:09:57. > :10:02.jobs to the some extent any growth of China will carry on. But
:10:03. > :10:08.globalisation is unstoppable. People say the government should intervene,
:10:09. > :10:16.but to do what? One of our commentators said tonight about an
:10:17. > :10:20.overvalued currency. We cannot have any influence on that. At least the
:10:21. > :10:25.government don't want to have any influence over that. While everyone
:10:26. > :10:30.is bashing China over steel, the government has been all out on the
:10:31. > :10:35.offensive to woo Chinese investment to the UK, and with regard to the
:10:36. > :10:42.recognition from the WTO, bridging is supporting that. -- Britain. EU
:10:43. > :10:47.states are divided over whether they want to support China getting this
:10:48. > :10:55.economy status, but Britain is in favour, which shows that Housing act
:10:56. > :10:58.you have. It is a complex picture. -- balancing. I think David Cameron
:10:59. > :11:02.was going to tackle the Chinese leadership over steel, but we have
:11:03. > :11:09.not seen much evidence of that. Let's move on. The Sun, one big
:11:10. > :11:17.story, crackshot probed by crackpots. What is this about? This
:11:18. > :11:25.is another interesting example of a British soldier being chased through
:11:26. > :11:31.the courts potentially to do with actions on the battlefield. In this
:11:32. > :11:36.case, the British sniper is being probed for killing an Iraqi who is
:11:37. > :11:43.about to via a grenade because he did not shout a warning. That seems
:11:44. > :11:46.ludicrous. Why would you shout a warning if you are going to kill
:11:47. > :11:52.someone? The whole point of being a sniper is you are not seen. And you
:11:53. > :11:59.are in a wall sign. If you shout, it allows people to your position. --
:12:00. > :12:07.war zone. Top Army witch-hunt, it says, and there is a sense that
:12:08. > :12:12.certain law firms are chasing after an persecuting soldiers for actions
:12:13. > :12:18.they did during the Iraq war and the Afghanistan war. Iraq is especially
:12:19. > :12:25.in the spotlight because of this Iraqi historic allegations tribunal
:12:26. > :12:28.looking at about 1500 allegations relating to almost 300 soldiers who
:12:29. > :12:31.have been questioned in relation to this. There is a suggestion that
:12:32. > :12:43.charges could be bought against them. We have had the investigation
:12:44. > :12:46.into the incident where there are incidents where soldiers have
:12:47. > :12:53.misbehaved, but the idea that it is on a industrial scale does seem a
:12:54. > :12:59.bit suspicious. Or that every shot has to be investigated legally
:13:00. > :13:08.afterwards. It has an effect on the ability of commanders of Britain to
:13:09. > :13:14.wage war. There is a real concern that if you... There are lots of
:13:15. > :13:18.laws that legislate war anyway, any idea that you can add extra millions
:13:19. > :13:24.through human rights legislation really restricts the abilities of
:13:25. > :13:40.commanders to give conduct -- conduct battle. And Friends United.
:13:41. > :13:53.No more friends need reuniting says the Daily Telegraph. It is gone. It
:13:54. > :14:00.seems innovative and amazing, and it did what you said on the tin. You
:14:01. > :14:07.put your details in and classmates or people you never wanted to hear
:14:08. > :14:14.from again come up. Why did it die? It was overtaken by Facebook. And
:14:15. > :14:21.other social websites that were available. Did you use it with lack
:14:22. > :14:27.I did, actually. I put in my old school and all of these people
:14:28. > :14:31.popped up. It was years ago, then Facebook came along and you were at
:14:32. > :14:39.United, so you don't need to be reunited. It is interesting. This
:14:40. > :14:45.article talks about how it was blamed for thousands of divorces. It
:14:46. > :14:55.reignited millions of friendships as well. That is it for this hour.
