As concerns about the environment grow, we ask | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
Sooner or later the skies will be full of everyone does this every | :00:16. | :00:25. | |
year. We will keep looking for space in the skies. | :00:26. | :00:27. | |

killing. First, fasten your seat belts | :02:01. | :02:10. | |
and let's talk about flying. Air traffic controllers | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
are warning that UK skies Friday was the busiest day | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
of the year, with air traffic controllers handling an estimated | :02:16. | :02:27. | |
8,800 flights - a record number. They have called for a drastic | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
modernisation in the way aircraft Enviromentalists too | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
are concerned about the impact We'll discuss that in a moment | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
after Samanthi Flanagan samples some views from passengers at Manchester | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
Airport. Holidays, weekends, business. More | :02:41. | :02:51. | |
and more of us are taking to the air. During peak times, the skies | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
above the UK are bee hive of activity. I am at Manchester | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
Airport, where a staggering 27 million passengers passed through | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
every year. Today alone 100,000 people will take off and land in one | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
of these. This is a really busy day for you at Manchester Airport and | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
this is the busiest summer ever for UK air travel. We have had 718 | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
flights depart from the airport and it will get even busier over summer. | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
As it stands, this weekend alone we will have 400,000 passengers. Do you | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
enjoy being on an aeroplane? Is that part of the holiday? Yes. It is | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
quicker and more convenient. The best thing is take off. What is the | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
appeal of destinations you can only get to by aeroplane? Guaranteed warm | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
weather. The experiences, different food, different people. Huge numbers | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
of people passing through the airport. How do you cope with that | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
capacity? We have just launched a ?1 billion regeneration programme which | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
will see terminal two being redeveloped over ten years, meaning | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
we can accommodate the passengers we have today, but it also means we can | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
have up to 50 million passengers coming through our door. Do any of | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
these passengers feel guilty about flying and the impact on the | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
environment? We think about it but we don't do it often enough for it | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
to have an impact. I don't give it another thought. I have looked at | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
the sky and I have seen the line of smoke, thinking wow. Obviously the | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
environmental impact and the price of the ticket includes the | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
environment tax. I did think about it because the airport is paying for | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
it. I think this every year that it isn't if I mentally friendly and we | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
should do something else. We have had some great staycations. But I | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
can count on one hand the number of days we have been able to go to the | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
beach in the UK. While there is still some space in the sky, we will | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
probably carry on. There are people who think we should fly less because | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
of the impact on the environment. What do you think about that? We are | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
still OK to be flying but we need to do so responsibly. The new aviation | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
strategy which the government is now consulting on will make sure that we | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
not only grow from an aviation perspective but we do so in a way | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
that would be environmentally friendly. It is not about not doing | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
it. It is doing it in the right way. In the meantime, people will just | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
keep on flying. How many times do you fly each year? If we're lucky, | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
twice. Just once this year and it something we look forward to. | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
Hopefully in other words what the end of year without the kids. They | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
don't know about this! -- hopefully another one towards the end of the | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
year without the kids. Samanthi Flanagan at | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
Manchester Airport. Joining us now are Angie Greaves, | :05:42. | :05:42. | |
a radio broadcaster, Graham Hughes, | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
an adventurer and author, Luke Gittos, a lawyer and writer, | :05:48. | :05:48. | |
and Sally Pavey is a campaigner. You have got a world record, Graham. | :05:49. | :05:57. | |
I am the fastest and first person to go to every country in the world | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
without flying. Why on earth would you do that? I thought it would be | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
fun and I raise money for charity and to prove it could be done and to | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
knock down the boundaries and borders, and show that we can travel | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
the world without flying. It is possible. Why is it important not to | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
fly? The environmental impact, first and foremost. What we are doing to | :06:18. | :06:28. | |
the skies is massive and it is having devastating affect on the | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
smaller countries in the world, like Tuvalu, which is suffering from | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
flooding every year. It is soil water, salt water, not just the | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
water that goes away and doesn't leave anything behind. How do you | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
manage to go to every country? Most people don't have the time and | :06:43. | :06:51. | |
money. What a privilege but how do you do it? Moving between islands in | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
the Pacific presents a lot of difficulties. Flying is cheaper, | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
more convenient and quicker. As a broad aim, it is noble not to fly. | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
It is better for all of us to fly less. No, flying is a modern | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
miracle. Not all of us have the time to take trains and buses all over | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
the world. An interesting fact is that the average house income of | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
people using Heathrow Airport has been coming down and down. That is a | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
good thing. More people are able to take flights. I think that is a | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
really good thing. What is also important that this is saving time. | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
Time is very precious. Flying allows us to spend more time doing | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
productive creative things when we get to our destination. Not all of | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
us want to be spending our time getting somewhere. We want to be | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
doing things once we are there and that is really | :07:42. | :07:55. | |
important. A couple of facts. Aviation contributes less than 6% of | :07:56. | :07:57. | |
UK emissions. The impact is pretty negligible. Our carbon emissions are | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
capped because we are a member of the EU ETS. So choosing to fly makes | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
very little difference. And directly in my eye line, she is shaking her | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
head and raising eyebrows! I don't agree with that, I'm afraid. You're | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
talking about carbon trading. And it is not just the UK carbon, it is the | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
trading. These aeroplanes are going to and from destinations so it is a | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
much bigger thing of UK trading. What do you mean by that? They are | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
doing the return journey? Exactly. You are flying to Europe so there is | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
carbon trading going on in Europe and you fly back to us, and there is | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
carbon trading. If we carry on the way we are going, we are going to | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
preach. Carbon trading doesn't work. If you added on the cost onto each | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
ticket, less people would fly. What we are talking about is less than | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
half of the UK population actually fly. We are heavily subsidising an | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
aviation industry. It is not a level playing field like car | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
manufacturing. Aviation is heavily subsidised. So the prices should go | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
up? No! While I am hearing what you are saying and I am in total | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
agreement, the average family who saved their money and decides to go | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
on holiday, is not thinking along the lines. If I want to see family | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
in the United States or Barbados, where can I get my family together | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
and leave the UK and be there within eight hours? Where can you have a | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
huge amount of people in one go going to another destination? I will | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
just say, while I really love your stories, I have also been a big | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
believer that travelling is actually the best education of life. You have | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
probably got stories galore. Absolutely. I don't want to see | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
flight prices going up. If you take a few year, holiday with the kids, | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
fine. It is people flying every other day when they don't need to | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
because we have Skype and the internet and ways of having a | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
conference called without actually going to New York. Shouldn't we | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
change our way of thinking? We used to | :10:00. | :10:21. | |
drive without seat belts and nobody would do that now. And we used to | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
drive cars with exhausts and we can now drive electrically. But we can't | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
fly electrically. At the moment. I know it will take a huge amount of | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
battery. In the future there will be an environmental free way of flying. | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
We are ready have them. In Europe we have the trains. But we don't use | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
them. The idea of getting on a train and waking up in your destination in | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
Europe would be brilliant and then trains would be quicker. It costs me | :10:38. | :10:45. | |
more to travel by train from Gatwick to London than it does to fly to | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
Europe. That is not sustainable. As someone who flies an awful lot, she | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
even flew into the studio! That is harsh. It is not all about leisure. | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
People use flights for business a lot of the time. | :11:02. | :11:03. | |
I'm joined now by the businessman Bal Bansal in our Nottingham studio. | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
How often do you fly for work? Probably once a month at least if | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
not twice. People could argue in this day and age you could do those | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
meetings, not sure how far you are flying, but you could do them over | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
Skype or FaceTime, using the computer. Why bother flying to a | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
meeting? You get so much from talking to people around the table. | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
I understand that we have new technologies like Skype and we can | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
talk and see people. But you can easily get distracted. I have been | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
on Skype calls when someone gets distracted and something else is | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
going on. If you are sitting round a table with someone and talking to | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
them, there is so much more value you can get out of that. That is | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
your argument for it. Do you ever feel guilty? You are taking many | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
more flights than the average Brit. What do you feel about that? I don't | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
feel guilty. Time is money. I need to get to places quickly. I need to | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
talk to people, conversations, decisions to be made, and the | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
quicker I can do that, the better. The amount of time you spend | :12:12. | :12:13. | |
checking in, you could have spent that doing other deals. I can do | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
emails, which I do sometimes, but also the process is getting quicker. | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
The app has the boarding pass, so I don't queue for the ticket, I go | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
through, onto the plane. Obviously security is essential. The seat on | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
the plane. It is quicker now. And it will only get quicker. Would you | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
like to do more flights? Would you like more options to fly at | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
different times and have it be more flexible? Some people take trains. | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
There are lots of low cost airlines now. I can get to Paris for ?40. Try | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
to get a train ticket in England from lethal Nottingham to London and | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
it costs ?60, ?80. -- from Leeds or Nottingham to London. Flying is more | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
cost-effective. We were talking earlier in the discussion about | :13:04. | :13:04. | |
environmental concerns overflying. Joining me from our Oxford | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
studio now is Ian Jopson, Do you think enough is being done to | :13:10. | :13:17. | |
make flying more environmentally friendly? I do. You would expect me | :13:18. | :13:26. | |
to say that, working for Sustainable Aviation. You can't fly millions of | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
people every day in a way that is eco friendly. You have got to burn | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
millions of litres of oil. It is true. We need to accept that we have | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
an environmental impact as an industry but it is also important to | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
note that as an industry we are the third bid biggest aerospace sector | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
in the world. We donate ?22 billion every year to the UK GDP. But of | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
course there is environmental impact. Aeroplanes make noise, they | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
emit carbon dioxide, they burn fuel. So what are we doing specifically to | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
address that? What are you doing in the aviation industry? | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
As a coalition of around 40 of the biggest aviation companies in the | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
UK, we have set out a road map to 2050 where we see through various | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
measures that I will come onto shortly that we can double the | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
amount of traffic in UK airspace by 2050 whilst not actually increasing | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
CO2 emissions. How will we do that? Firstly we will invest in new | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
fuel-efficient aircraft. Since 2005 the UK airlines have invested some | :14:39. | :14:47. | |
?37 billion in around 470 new aircraft, between 15 and 5% more | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
fuel efficient than the ones they replaced. There are another 400 of | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
those on order. We fly more fuel efficient and quieter aeroplanes. We | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
also change the airspace to make it more efficient. Since 2008 we have | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
made in 300 changes to UK airspace, saving around 5% of CO2 emissions, | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
we have more to do. The airspace above the UK is increasingly | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
congested, we are driving towards airspace modernisation which will | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
make the routes that the aircraft fly more efficient, flying closer to | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
their optimum levels, claiming smoothly to reduce fuel noise and | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
descending more efficiently to reduce fuel and noise again. We are | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
investing a huge amount in developing alternative fuels, | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
sustainable alternative fuels. On the international stage, the | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
industry is committed to by 2020 developing a global what is called a | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
market-based measures scheme, effectively an emissions trading | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
scheme which will reduce emissions between now... So 2020 and 2050. Ian | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
Jopson, Djere Sustainable Aviation, that is what the aviation industry | :16:04. | :16:14. | |
has to say. Back to the panel. Bal said it is important for business, | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
should we be flying more? People say you can do it over Skype or the | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
phone, this is human interaction we are talking about, travel enables | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
human interaction and for the world to be a smaller place. It is not | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
very long ago that if you lived in one country and someone else lived | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
in a different one would be very hard to see and interact with them | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
face to face. I think it would be awful if we just said people can do | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
this over Skype, it would mean the end of face-to-face interaction. | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
Aviation is an important tool for enabling human relationships. Sally | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
is shaking her head is again. Many people have different views | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
depending on where they live. Lots of people do not want the third | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
Remnick -- third runway at Heathrow because they live on the flight | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
path. There is a lot of NIMBY, not in my backyard. You can refuse Mata | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
accuse people of being NIMBYs, there is huge drop in business travel | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
which is only contributing 20%. This growth is low-cost. A huge drop | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
because...? People are not travelling for business as much. | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
That is not on airport, that is across the country. I love Ian | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
Tibbetts, but new aircraft, yes, not the low-cost ones. They are | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
something like 25-year-old aircraft. EasyJet are investing but they do | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
not too long haul, you have to look at the long haul. If I may touch on | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
the noise factor, Ian touches on these streamlined ones, they are | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
concentrating putting motorways above peoples homes, they are | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
getting every single arrival and departure. That is how they cram in | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
more aircraft and save the CO2, there is no consideration about the | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
noise on the ground I am particularly concerned at the fact | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
that everyone here seems to want to put profit above morality. | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
If we continue to do that, we will still be the world leader in | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
slavery, which were used to be. You have to stop at some point and say | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
what will happen in the future? If the polar ice caps melt we will lose | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
every beach in the world. It is all very well going on a beach holiday | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
now, when there is no beach in 20 years, how do you explain that to | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
the grandkids? Ehmer? Bill says I don't care about | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
the environment, being frank, I have no children or grandchildren, I | :18:40. | :18:52. | |
want my travels as convenient and fast as possible. Stuart says I can | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
fly from Edinburgh to Cardiff in an hours ?80 return, compared to an | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
eight-hour journey and ?230 on the train. Nadia says I refuse to fly | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
anywhere in Europe we can travel to public transport, planes are causing | :19:03. | :19:04. | |
untold damage to the skies. Another viewer says maybe economics can save | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
the world, budget airlines are cheaper than trains, increased costs | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
would make us think twice. Another e-mail, most families have | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
won far -- one holiday a year when they fly with a full plane full of | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
people. What about rich people who fly whole aeroplanes for just one | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
person? There is a concept that people who | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
fly you... Are selfish, the first person said he did not care about | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
the environment. I care about the environment. Profit or environment? | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
Climate change, we have to deal with that problem. The problem with | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
places like you mentioned is a lack of infrastructure. Floods are a | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
problem in the poor countries that need to be developed to cope with | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
climate change, it is a different issue. It is their problem?! It is a | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
problem with infrastructure and development. We have floats in the | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
UK. It is not a moral issue about taking a holiday. Taking a holiday | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
is not akin to slavery, there is nothing morally wrong with taking a | :20:08. | :20:15. | |
cheap flight. This is about... This is about leisure time. More and more | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
poor people can take holidays, that is the key dimension. I think there | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
is snobbery around cheap flights, the people taking cheap flights are | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
the people who can only afford cheap flights, the people who take one | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
holiday a year, at max, to spend some time abroad. There is a | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
snobbery as if that is not a worthwhile thing to do. I completely | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
agree on cheap flights, I think they should stay. I think the train fares | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
need to come down so we have an option. | :20:47. | :20:48. | |
ALL TALK AT ONCE This discussion has certainly taken off, but we need to | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
landed for the time being. -- land it. | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
Adeel Akhtar has always been admired as a go-to actor with parts | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
in prestigious productions such as The Night Manager | :21:00. | :21:00. | |
But this year he received a deserved public accolade when he became | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
the first non-white performer to win best male actor at the BAFTAs | :21:06. | :21:07. | |
for his performance in the hard-hitting BBC drama | :21:08. | :21:09. | |
I went to meet him to talk about his career and his upbringing | :21:10. | :21:18. | |
Yes, he is here. Yes, it is what we suspect. You can call me Jas. I | :21:19. | :21:37. | |
continue that your husband is an extremely persistent man. | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
Dramas like The Night Manager, Appletree Yard, we will get onto | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
some of the other work in a moment. Very diverse work. What first drew | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
you to acting? When I was growing up, whenever I turned on television | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
and saw Asian stories being told there were things like My Beautiful | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
Launderette, Buddha Of Suburbia, Bhaji On The Beach. They were very | :22:00. | :22:07. | |
original stories being told about Asians and there experience. I was | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
drawn to it. You wanted to be part of that world? I did. Murdered By My | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
Father, let's talk about it. You're beautiful. Like your mother. She'd | :22:19. | :22:28. | |
be proud. Just remind me and everyone else, | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
your role in this particular drama? I play the father of a girl who he | :22:33. | :22:41. | |
eventually, by the end of the story, kills through what is known as an | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
honour killing. You've been promised already, that's | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
all that matters! Do you know what people will say?! What will happen?! | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
To Alice?! We would not even be able to give you away! | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
It is a story about pride. We all fall victim to that in our own way. | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
The idea of culture and religion, ethnicity, sexuality, it bleeds away | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
and that is what we are trying to get to. | :23:09. | :23:18. | |
You won the BAFTA for that. That must have been an amazing feeling, | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
the first non-white actor to win Best Male in the TV batters? What do | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
you make of that? Amazing. Pride and joy to think that somebody looking | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
out there, a younger version of me, might find some inspiration. I think | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
you're looking for the phrase role model but do not want to say it? | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
That would be nice. Other Asian actors I have spoken to have limited | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
roles for them, whether it is shopkeepers all the stereotypes. I | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
suppose that is an issue? It was, when I was first acting it was very | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
narrow and I only got certain roles. There are real obstacles that I have | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
gone through and other Asian actors have gone through. But I try not to | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
look at that. I just tried to do what I do, the best I can. You grew | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
up in a Muslim household, was religion a big part of life? Sort | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
of. I grew up as great a moderate Muslim. I definitely was aware of | :24:24. | :24:30. | |
other Muslim kids who had a lot more strict upbringing than I had. Were | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
you religious yourself, did you go through that stage? It was more a | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
nod to it, I would not eat pork or drink, but when my sister went to | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
university she became a practising Muslim and through her I was | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
practising for quite a chunk of my teenage years, praying five times a | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
day and stuff. 15, 16, I just stopped. I got to a point where the | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
questions that it used to answer certainly were not as important as | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
other questions I was asking. My life took a different direction, | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
really. And your life took a different | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
direction may be from what your dad wanted? In terms of career. What did | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
he make of the acting? My dad was and still is quite strict. | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
Understandably so, he came over at a particular time from Pakistan, it | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
was really tough for him to find work and provide for his family, so | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
he just wanted me and my sister to be professionals. Ironically, your | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
first big break was as a hapless terrorist. In the British film For | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
Lions. You fly to the target, when I dial | :25:44. | :25:54. | |
this you go to heaven, Brook Road. -- brother Crow. Did you have mixed | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
feelings about joking about terrorism? Terrorism? Not really, if | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
you do it well it is truthful and you can't knock it. Running squat | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
down, holding explosives, things you should not laugh at but really | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
funny. What did your dad make of it? I think he laughed. I take it he is | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
on board by now? Yes. Did the BAFTA help out? He is not outspoken about | :26:22. | :26:29. | |
his feelings, he would just go, you know, well done. I put it in pride | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
of place in the living room. I have just had a little baby and it is a | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
bit chaotic in the house and I found it behind the Weetabix packet in the | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
kitchen and we haven't moved it since. It's got to fit into life, | :26:45. | :26:51. | |
doesn't it? Thank you so much for talking to us. I have really enjoyed | :26:52. | :26:53. | |
it. Still to come on | :26:54. | :26:56. | |
Sunday Morning Live: The shipping container turned | :26:57. | :26:58. | |
into a des res for the homeless. It gave me an opportunity to | :26:59. | :27:08. | |
integrate back into society properly and have my own space. | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
This week began with the announcement that the Daleks' | :27:14. | :27:15. | |
arch enemy Doctor Who would transform into female form | :27:16. | :27:17. | |
Jodie Whittaker will break the all-male mould by taking | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
Later in the week, advertisers were put on notice that they would | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
be facing tougher rules from their watchdog, | :27:28. | :27:28. | |
the Advertising Standards Authority, on gender portrayal. | :27:29. | :27:37. | |
I'm reorganising my living space... Pampering Hector... Rehearsing with | :27:38. | :27:48. | |
the girl Starc before writing down my innermost thoughts. That's | :27:49. | :27:54. | |
nothing compared to captain awesome's day. Island cut the enemy | :27:55. | :28:04. | |
secret Starc -- I'll uncover enemy secret... | :28:05. | :28:11. | |
It doesn't just happen by magic. Behind every great Christmas, | :28:12. | :28:15. | |
there's mum. Women! Don't expect any help on | :28:16. | :28:30. | |
Thursday! It's going to be OK for an advert to | :28:31. | :28:35. | |
show a woman shopping or cleaning or for a man doing the DIY task in the | :28:36. | :28:39. | |
home. What we will be looking for is adverts that go beyond that and | :28:40. | :28:44. | |
paint a picture that it is a woman 's to tide you back to her family | :28:45. | :28:48. | |
who have trashed the house, that is her job in life. We are worried | :28:49. | :28:53. | |
about that sort of depiction. Similarly adverts mocking men for | :28:54. | :28:58. | |
being hopeless at performing straightforward parental or | :28:59. | :29:00. | |
household tasks just because they are a man. | :29:01. | :29:01. | |
So the ad men and ad women will be under scrutiny. | :29:02. | :29:04. | |
"About time," say some, while others say it's another | :29:05. | :29:06. | |
So are we too sensitive to stereotypes? | :29:07. | :29:09. | |
Joining us now are Angela Epstein, a journalist and broadcaster. | :29:10. | :29:12. | |
Otegha Uwagba is a writer and brand consultant who has | :29:13. | :29:15. | |
Emma Dabiri is a social historian and feminist. | :29:16. | :29:26. | |
Obviously I need to come to you first since I got your name wrong! | :29:27. | :29:42. | |
Isn't this going over the top? A bit too PC conscious? Regulating | :29:43. | :29:47. | |
advertising for something like this? It isn't over the top at all. If you | :29:48. | :29:52. | |
listen to what the guy speaking were saying, it is very reasonable. It is | :29:53. | :29:56. | |
not saying that women can't do any domestic work in an advert, and men | :29:57. | :30:00. | |
can't do anything traditionally assumed to be the man's role. They | :30:01. | :30:08. | |
are looking at more pernicious messages that are firm stereotypes. | :30:09. | :30:11. | |
It is not as though advertising is a benign industry that seeks to | :30:12. | :30:18. | |
disseminate information. It absolutely is trying to condition us | :30:19. | :30:24. | |
to think in certain ways. And it is absolutely necessary that we have a | :30:25. | :30:27. | |
regulatory body that makes sure that is not done in ways that are | :30:28. | :30:31. | |
extremely damaging, which has often been the case in the past. The | :30:32. | :30:35. | |
Advertising Standards Authority chief executive said that tougher | :30:36. | :30:41. | |
standards can play an important role in tackling inequalities. I think | :30:42. | :30:43. | |
the whole thing is a load of rubbish, to be quite honest. At the | :30:44. | :30:48. | |
moment we have a female Prime Minister, female monarch and the | :30:49. | :30:50. | |
most powerful person in the judiciary is a woman, and they have | :30:51. | :30:59. | |
always days back row all been brought up -- and they have all been | :31:00. | :31:03. | |
brought up watching Fairy Liquid adverts. But we have the gender pay | :31:04. | :31:09. | |
gap and inequality. I should earn the same as you if I am doing the | :31:10. | :31:12. | |
same job, without question. I don't care whose face is on the banknote, | :31:13. | :31:19. | |
man or a woman, so long as I get the same number of banknotes. But gender | :31:20. | :31:25. | |
stereotypes catch the accident of what is out there. There are | :31:26. | :31:29. | |
exaggerated truths. I am Jewish, a mother with kids, and if I fuss and | :31:30. | :31:34. | |
say you haven't eaten your dinner, I get colleagues saying I am a | :31:35. | :31:38. | |
protective Jewish mother. I'm not offended by that because it is | :31:39. | :31:41. | |
taking a little side of my character and making it into an exaggerated | :31:42. | :31:45. | |
truth. That happened in advertising. Women like to keep their houses | :31:46. | :31:49. | |
clean and nice and it doesn't stop them being high-flying corporate | :31:50. | :31:53. | |
lawyers because the two are not mutually exclusive and advertising | :31:54. | :31:57. | |
just plays on that. You have worked in advertising. I am all for the | :31:58. | :32:05. | |
regulation. In journalism there is the free speech argument, which I | :32:06. | :32:09. | |
understand. Advertising is about influencing people to change their | :32:10. | :32:11. | |
behaviour and it needs to be regulated like other businesses. As | :32:12. | :32:15. | |
for the stereotypes you just discussed, the protective Jewish | :32:16. | :32:18. | |
mother is benign. A stereotype that is not benign our stereotypes | :32:19. | :32:24. | |
associated with black men, black women, people of colour, disabled | :32:25. | :32:28. | |
people, gay people. Stereotypes kill. The reason Trayvon Martin was | :32:29. | :32:33. | |
shot down is because there is a stereotype black men being criminals | :32:34. | :32:37. | |
and is dangerous. I don't remember seeing any positive black role | :32:38. | :32:40. | |
models on television during the 80s and it didn't turn me into a | :32:41. | :32:44. | |
criminal. They were always bad guys. I am doing something very different | :32:45. | :32:48. | |
and so are you. Of course but it is fair to say that we are probably | :32:49. | :32:54. | |
exceptions. If you turn on the BBC, any TV channel, there are not that | :32:55. | :32:58. | |
many people of colour who are not playing the council estate | :32:59. | :33:01. | |
stereotype. It is important that we have better examples and role | :33:02. | :33:05. | |
models. Take us into an advertising board room. Are there lots of women | :33:06. | :33:09. | |
and black people? In the boardrooms, there are not. It is generally white | :33:10. | :33:14. | |
men and it is something I always found deeply problematic and I am | :33:15. | :33:19. | |
trying to change that with my brand. There are black people in | :33:20. | :33:21. | |
advertising and women but they are at the bottom. The decision makers | :33:22. | :33:25. | |
and strategists are white men and that needs to change. When we are | :33:26. | :33:31. | |
talking about regulation, we're also talking about protecting them. The | :33:32. | :33:35. | |
stereotype of men not being able to cook and do things, which comes into | :33:36. | :33:39. | |
this. I don't think men or women need protecting from stereotypes. I | :33:40. | :33:43. | |
don't know any women who had their life choices determined by adverts. | :33:44. | :33:48. | |
They don't exist. If you look across the board, women are smashing gender | :33:49. | :33:52. | |
stereotypes in all areas of society. They are outperforming men in | :33:53. | :33:56. | |
professional life and education. They are leaving any stereotypical | :33:57. | :33:59. | |
vision of what women should do in the dust. The reality is that women | :34:00. | :34:03. | |
can cope with stereotypes. If you look at the research that the ASA | :34:04. | :34:13. | |
put into this, it is junk. They treat it as fun, stereotypes. People | :34:14. | :34:20. | |
recognise that it is superficial. What about little kids that are | :34:21. | :34:24. | |
watching? People can make a judgment about what an adverts reflect real | :34:25. | :34:28. | |
life. Everyone recognises when an advert is making a stereotypical | :34:29. | :34:31. | |
point. If we are saying that adverts don't influence, what is the point | :34:32. | :34:36. | |
of them? They do influence and they do have an important role. The point | :34:37. | :34:40. | |
is that people can make informed decisions. But do they? Nobody knows | :34:41. | :34:45. | |
any woman who has had their life choices affected by what appeared in | :34:46. | :34:50. | |
an advert. They don't exist. It is not advertisement alone. It is | :34:51. | :34:56. | |
multilayered. All of these ideas about what women should do and | :34:57. | :35:00. | |
should be are coming from across society and advertising is just one | :35:01. | :35:06. | |
part of that. Angela, can I put this to you. The Yorkie advert. How did | :35:07. | :35:14. | |
it make you feel? It made me laugh. Not for women? I just didn't care. I | :35:15. | :35:18. | |
have a 13-year-old daughter with three older brothers. She should | :35:19. | :35:22. | |
either be a tremendous tomboy, brought up with mud and dirt and | :35:23. | :35:25. | |
footballs, and not because I have said they have got to play with | :35:26. | :35:29. | |
those things because they are boys. The instead, biology, whatever it is | :35:30. | :35:32. | |
as making them do those things, and she loves dolls and poor fee and | :35:33. | :35:36. | |
glittery accessories. She said she wants to be a human rights lawyer | :35:37. | :35:48. | |
one day and the next she wants to run a beauty salon. She has seen me | :35:49. | :35:52. | |
being a working mother. I don't want her choices to be diminished. I | :35:53. | :35:56. | |
don't think Fairy Liquid adverts will limit choice. It makes us laugh | :35:57. | :36:00. | |
and we are consumers. We want to know if that bottle of washing up | :36:01. | :36:04. | |
liquid will do the job. I have a 19-year-old daughter and I was | :36:05. | :36:07. | |
uncomfortable looking back at that Yorkie advert. What do you think? | :36:08. | :36:11. | |
That advert I didn't actually find that problematic. For little girls? | :36:12. | :36:19. | |
It is an exaggerated example of a gender stereotype. If you are | :36:20. | :36:24. | |
slightly older and more intelligent, you can see that it is an | :36:25. | :36:28. | |
exaggerated example. What are problematic things like the beach | :36:29. | :36:31. | |
body advert, which shows the negative stereotype of what women's | :36:32. | :36:34. | |
bodies should look like and those are that young girls and teenagers | :36:35. | :36:39. | |
see and internalise as what they should do. It is the same thing with | :36:40. | :36:45. | |
adverts about mothers looking after Christmas. Why can't dads look after | :36:46. | :36:50. | |
Christmas and do the housework? We are still talking about it 20 years | :36:51. | :36:54. | |
later. It was such a rarity to reverse the stereotype like that. | :36:55. | :36:58. | |
Let's take a non-commercial break and go to Emma. Very good. Keith | :36:59. | :37:05. | |
says stereotyping happens because stereotypes actually exist. Burying | :37:06. | :37:09. | |
your head in the sand and tarting will not stop them happening. Susan | :37:10. | :37:13. | |
says if we are eager to accept that women can do anything, we should | :37:14. | :37:18. | |
also embrace that we can be perfectly happy in the home roles | :37:19. | :37:22. | |
that we have held for generations. David says that stereotypes have an | :37:23. | :37:25. | |
effect in real life so let's do something about it. There says it is | :37:26. | :37:29. | |
about time that there was more equality in gender and the way it is | :37:30. | :37:34. | |
portrayed. Stereotypes should be wiped out and we need to remember | :37:35. | :37:39. | |
that anyone can do anything. Marie says the reason a stereotype becomes | :37:40. | :37:42. | |
a stereotype in the first place is because it is a truism. Let people | :37:43. | :37:47. | |
be people and teach children the same thing as well. Thank you. And | :37:48. | :37:50. | |
thank you to our panel. I'm afraid we are out of time on this. | :37:51. | :37:59. | |
Homelessness is a growing problem in the UK, manifested most starkly | :38:00. | :38:01. | |
by those sleeping rough on the streets of our cities. | :38:02. | :38:04. | |
That reportedly amounted to more than 4,000 people | :38:05. | :38:06. | |
A Bristol businessman concerned about the issue has decided that | :38:07. | :38:10. | |
rather than give money to the homeless he would find | :38:11. | :38:12. | |
a unique way of helping those with nowhere to sleep, | :38:13. | :38:14. | |
Today I am in Bristol and I am house-hunting. This isn't exactly a | :38:15. | :38:22. | |
prime location but it is the beginning of one man's dream. That | :38:23. | :38:29. | |
man is Jasper Thompson, who is bringing a whole new meaning to | :38:30. | :38:36. | |
homes under the hammer. Hello. I'm very busy at the moment. I'm good, | :38:37. | :38:41. | |
thank you. This is the site! I can hear lots of noise and I can see | :38:42. | :38:45. | |
lots of container type things. What is going on? Today we are completing | :38:46. | :38:52. | |
this shipping container. It is actually a shipping container. | :38:53. | :38:59. | |
Jasper is transforming these 3.5 tonne steel structures into flats | :39:00. | :39:03. | |
for the homeless. This one was donated to us by a local shipping | :39:04. | :39:08. | |
company. Can you show me around? Absolutely. Mind your step. This is | :39:09. | :39:18. | |
the bathroom. And we have a living area. This is going to be a proper | :39:19. | :39:29. | |
home for someone? A proper home for someone. I appreciate the help you | :39:30. | :39:32. | |
have given me over the last few months. Jasper has never worked with | :39:33. | :39:37. | |
homeless people before. He has been in the army, he has worked in | :39:38. | :39:41. | |
private security in Afghanistan and Iraq, and now he runs a Jamaican | :39:42. | :39:45. | |
restaurant in Bristol. He came up with this novel plan to put a roof | :39:46. | :39:49. | |
over people's heads last winter. The shipping containers came about | :39:50. | :39:52. | |
through the use of what we have got on this site at the moment. It was | :39:53. | :39:57. | |
previously a car wash. I spoke to one of the guys who left it here and | :39:58. | :40:01. | |
he said I could utilise it. I put six guys in the containers during | :40:02. | :40:04. | |
the winter months, just to help them. Just to get out of the cold | :40:05. | :40:11. | |
for a bit. I decided it was a good idea and I decided to convert them | :40:12. | :40:16. | |
into flats. He has also converted his friends and restaurant customers | :40:17. | :40:20. | |
into workers to help out. He has now persuaded a bunch of local tradesmen | :40:21. | :40:25. | |
to give up their time for free. A hard-working man here called Gary. | :40:26. | :40:29. | |
What are you doing today? Just a bit of security. Helping out with the | :40:30. | :40:36. | |
plumbing. What do you think about this project? It helps people to get | :40:37. | :40:42. | |
off the street. It helps with drug problems and hopefully help them get | :40:43. | :40:46. | |
back into life. Another helping hand today is from Lee, who was about to | :40:47. | :40:49. | |
move into one of the shipping containers. He has been homeless for | :40:50. | :40:54. | |
18 months, sleeping rough in woodland. How did you become | :40:55. | :41:01. | |
homeless? I was working as a head chef for about eight years. I was | :41:02. | :41:05. | |
under a hell of a lot of pressure all the time. I just couldn't really | :41:06. | :41:10. | |
function any more as a human. I started to have a meltdown, really. | :41:11. | :41:15. | |
I had to pack in work because I was so stressed out. I didn't have any | :41:16. | :41:20. | |
way of supporting myself and I ended up homeless. While we have been | :41:21. | :41:26. | |
talking, Jasper has been out to get supplies and has come across another | :41:27. | :41:30. | |
homeless man in need of shelter. We were coming back from the shops. The | :41:31. | :41:35. | |
van broke down. And as I walked around the corner, there was a line | :41:36. | :41:39. | |
of disused cars. I found him in the car. What is your name? Dale? Hello. | :41:40. | :41:46. | |
How long have you been living in the car? Since mats. And why? The break | :41:47. | :41:53. | |
up of a relationship. -- six months. What was it like? Variable. Some | :41:54. | :42:02. | |
days I had nothing. What have you come here for today? Just something | :42:03. | :42:08. | |
to eat and a chat. In this unusual community it is not just local | :42:09. | :42:11. | |
tradesmen volunteering time and skills. The future tenants of these | :42:12. | :42:15. | |
containers, the homeless people themselves, have got to pitch in as | :42:16. | :42:19. | |
well. It is really important to get these homeless guys working on the | :42:20. | :42:23. | |
containers. It gives them self belief, self-worth. A structure to | :42:24. | :42:30. | |
their day. And potentially a home at the end of it. This man has his eye | :42:31. | :42:38. | |
on this container home. He has been on the streets until recently | :42:39. | :42:40. | |
struggling with drug addiction. I have been sleeping rough for six | :42:41. | :42:45. | |
months. Now I am here, working as part of a community, helping myself | :42:46. | :42:48. | |
in the first place and helping other homeless people to rebuild their | :42:49. | :42:54. | |
lives. I am blessed, you know? Jasper reckons that all in the | :42:55. | :42:57. | |
containers should cost around ?10,000 each to buy and refurbished. | :42:58. | :43:03. | |
But thanks to the hard-working volunteers and donated fittings, so | :43:04. | :43:08. | |
far they have got nothing. He is planning another 20 units in Bristol | :43:09. | :43:11. | |
and he hopes they will take off nationwide. The first container is | :43:12. | :43:16. | |
now a finished home and Lee will soon have a roof over his head. How | :43:17. | :43:23. | |
are you doing? Very good. How are you? Ready for the big move? I am | :43:24. | :43:31. | |
indeed. I hope you get sorted, mate. A proper bed. And a shower! It is | :43:32. | :43:41. | |
quite big and roomy. It is like a little hotel shower. It is going to | :43:42. | :43:47. | |
give me some security, an opportunity to integrate back into | :43:48. | :43:50. | |
society properly. I can find work. I can live here, do bits and pieces | :43:51. | :43:54. | |
and just have my own space. People taking selfies like this | :43:55. | :44:00. | |
is a routine sight these days. But a famous selfie has now | :44:01. | :44:03. | |
ended up as the subject of a court battle in America. | :44:04. | :44:13. | |
That's because the picture The image went viral with millions | :44:14. | :44:15. | |
of people viewing it. Photographer David Slater set up | :44:16. | :44:19. | |
the shot and so claims copyright. But the animal rights group | :44:20. | :44:22. | |
Peta says the macaque monkey is the owner, | :44:23. | :44:25. | |
and has taken the matter to court The case highlights the broader | :44:26. | :44:27. | |
issue of whether animals deserve the same rights as humans, | :44:28. | :44:32. | |
which we'll move on to shortly. But first let's talk | :44:33. | :44:36. | |
about this dispute over Joining the panel now | :44:37. | :44:38. | |
are David Slater, the photographer whose camera was used to take | :44:39. | :44:43. | |
the monkey selfie, Elisa Allen, the director of Peta UK, | :44:44. | :44:47. | |
Peter Tatchell, a human rights campaigner, and Angela | :44:48. | :44:49. | |
Epstein is still with us. We have to start with you, David. | :44:50. | :45:03. | |
Tell us the story, B is the sort of photographs you normally take? I am | :45:04. | :45:07. | |
a conservation photographer, it has been my passion and play for 20 | :45:08. | :45:11. | |
years. I was in a tropical rainforest where these macaques | :45:12. | :45:14. | |
live, so much so that they befriended me over the days that I | :45:15. | :45:19. | |
was with them. I thought if I set my camera up on a tripod and offered | :45:20. | :45:24. | |
them a button to press, a cable release, no doubt their natural | :45:25. | :45:28. | |
curiosity would be to bring them in, press the button. The noise of the | :45:29. | :45:32. | |
camera excited them, I press the button, made the noise, they would | :45:33. | :45:36. | |
look on the lens and take their own photograph. It is a fantastic | :45:37. | :45:41. | |
photograph, but the key thing is you enticed them that they press the | :45:42. | :45:46. | |
button? I am definitely the creator of this, it is my intent to my | :45:47. | :45:51. | |
creativity and also my experience with the monkeys that I knew there | :45:52. | :45:55. | |
was a great chance they would press the button. The problem is people | :45:56. | :46:00. | |
now think that pressing the button is taking a photograph. Elisa Allen, | :46:01. | :46:07. | |
why is it important that the monkey has the rights to the photo? Very | :46:08. | :46:13. | |
quickly, US copyright law is very clear on the issue, it does not | :46:14. | :46:17. | |
matter who owns the camera, it is the individual who presses the | :46:18. | :46:20. | |
shutter button who is the creator of the image. I really want to look at | :46:21. | :46:26. | |
the wider issue here, that is if this case is successful, this would | :46:27. | :46:31. | |
be the very first time that an animal has been declared the owner | :46:32. | :46:36. | |
of property rather than simply seen as a piece of property, which is how | :46:37. | :46:43. | |
the law currently use animals. There is not anything inherently extreme | :46:44. | :46:47. | |
about this lawsuit, if we look at 100 years ago women were not allowed | :46:48. | :46:52. | |
to own property, women were seen as the property of men, as were | :46:53. | :46:57. | |
children. Thankfully society has evolved and history tells us the law | :46:58. | :47:02. | |
evolves with it. Animal rights is the same as gender rights, in | :47:03. | :47:07. | |
equality? Certainly, Peter can speak about this issue and the into link | :47:08. | :47:10. | |
between human rights and animal rights, but in this case we are | :47:11. | :47:16. | |
questioning, just as your age, your race don't determine whether or not | :47:17. | :47:21. | |
you are entitled to rights, maybe your species should not? Lots of | :47:22. | :47:28. | |
people will be watching this and they will say that a lovely | :47:29. | :47:30. | |
organisation which looks after animals are bullies and many people | :47:31. | :47:36. | |
and companies are to be bad things, monkeys as pets, circuses, wherever | :47:37. | :47:39. | |
they are being treated inhumanely. Surely you should be picking those | :47:40. | :47:46. | |
fights. Look at David? Exactly. He has gone there to raise the profile | :47:47. | :47:51. | |
of these monkeys and you are attacking him. This is not a | :47:52. | :47:55. | |
personal issue, David and I spent a good bit of time just getting to | :47:56. | :47:58. | |
know each other and it is safe to say that we agree on more than we | :47:59. | :48:04. | |
disagree on. It is not a personal matter, this is a copyright dispute | :48:05. | :48:08. | |
and it does not change the fact that David is trying to claim ownership | :48:09. | :48:14. | |
over an image that he did not take and is attempting to profit from an | :48:15. | :48:17. | |
image that is not or should not be his. Peter, there are people around | :48:18. | :48:22. | |
the world really struggling, marginalised, no control over their | :48:23. | :48:25. | |
lives, being abused. There are so many people like that. Does this | :48:26. | :48:29. | |
undermine their battle when you are talking about a monkey? Not at all, | :48:30. | :48:34. | |
human rights and animal rights come from the same place, it is about the | :48:35. | :48:39. | |
prevention of suffering. Is a monkey suffering because it has not got | :48:40. | :48:43. | |
money from a picture? A group that is a different issue. In that case I | :48:44. | :48:47. | |
would say if a randomly and accidentally pressed the shutter | :48:48. | :48:54. | |
than the monkeys should not have copyright, if the monkey had | :48:55. | :48:57. | |
knowledge by watching a human and then press the shutter and they did | :48:58. | :49:01. | |
so intentionally and deliberately, then they should have copyright. | :49:02. | :49:05. | |
Knowledge and intention is key to the creative process and creativity | :49:06. | :49:11. | |
gives copyright. Angela, many people are told will be outraged, saying | :49:12. | :49:17. | |
did you just hear yourself?! -- many people at home. I had to check the | :49:18. | :49:22. | |
date on the paper to see that it is not able the first! I abhor any | :49:23. | :49:27. | |
cruelty to animals, we need to robustly legislate animal research, | :49:28. | :49:31. | |
although it is a critical part of evolution in order to save people | :49:32. | :49:35. | |
from disease and illness, but I think this is a spectacular own goal | :49:36. | :49:45. | |
by Peta because all your potential good workers undermined by the fact | :49:46. | :49:48. | |
that David took it upon himself to make this enterprising journey, did | :49:49. | :49:50. | |
not hurt the monkeys in any way, lets, shot and created the image and | :49:51. | :49:53. | |
these monkeys happened to take the photograph. Copyright means your | :49:54. | :49:56. | |
image or your personal intellectual property is not compromised. I | :49:57. | :50:01. | |
assume the macaques are still living happily, they are not thinking we | :50:02. | :50:05. | |
could have gone to Harrods with the proceeds?! It is part of the bigger | :50:06. | :50:09. | |
picture. The little man is being made an example to be part of the | :50:10. | :50:14. | |
bigger picture. The bigger picture, inhumane hunting, they are real and | :50:15. | :50:19. | |
important issues. With the greatest respect, this is a joke that you are | :50:20. | :50:23. | |
doing this, your organisation should be hanging its head in shame. Strong | :50:24. | :50:33. | |
words from Angela. You as star these monkeys suffering. The answer is | :50:34. | :50:41. | |
yes. Their populations are dwindling, they decreased by about | :50:42. | :50:46. | |
20% of the last 20 years. Their habitats are being destroyed at an | :50:47. | :50:49. | |
alarming rate, they are poached for Bush meets, they are in dire need of | :50:50. | :50:55. | |
help. They could certainly benefit from the proceeds of this copyright. | :50:56. | :51:07. | |
This case is about the fundamental rights of these highly | :51:08. | :51:10. | |
sophisticated, highly intelligent animals. They reckon site does not | :51:11. | :51:15. | |
recognise themselves in the mirror. ALL TALK AT ONCE Emma has somebody | :51:16. | :51:22. | |
with a religious perspective on this. | :51:23. | :51:24. | |
I'm joined now by Nitin Mehta, founder of the Hindu | :51:25. | :51:27. | |
To all animals deserve the same respect, the same rights as humans? | :51:28. | :51:37. | |
Good morning. According to the Hindu perspective, animals feel pain and | :51:38. | :51:44. | |
to have emotions, they feel pain and pleasure. As human beings it is only | :51:45. | :51:49. | |
right that we are called them those rights. As Mahatma Gandhi said, is a | :51:50. | :51:57. | |
superior species we have to be more compassionate to other forms of life | :51:58. | :52:02. | |
that we live with on this planet. Where does that end? Let's say you | :52:03. | :52:06. | |
were being attacked by an animal, you would do everything you could to | :52:07. | :52:10. | |
defend yourself? Absolutely, that is how it should be. But we are hunting | :52:11. | :52:19. | |
animals, we are doing experiments on them, tens of thousands are put in a | :52:20. | :52:24. | |
shed. Some of those experiments, people have campaigned for those | :52:25. | :52:31. | |
experiments to be more ethical, they have saved many lives, advances in | :52:32. | :52:35. | |
cancer treatments have come through by experimenting on animals. I am | :52:36. | :52:40. | |
not sure about that. There are lots of side effects. Animals have a | :52:41. | :52:43. | |
different metabolism to human beings. As Mahatma Gandhi said, for | :52:44. | :52:50. | |
him, the life of a lamb is as sacred as the life of a human being. As a | :52:51. | :52:56. | |
superior disease we had to do better with the animal kingdom. This kind | :52:57. | :53:02. | |
of violence that we are carrying out on animals... It is all very well | :53:03. | :53:09. | |
saying this is a vegetarian, millions of people will eat meat and | :53:10. | :53:13. | |
continue to eat meat, does that not make what you are doing slightly | :53:14. | :53:19. | |
futile? At the time people thought colonialism or slavery would always | :53:20. | :53:22. | |
be there, eventually it was abolished. Eventually I think there | :53:23. | :53:28. | |
will be a time when not for the sake of the animals but the human race we | :53:29. | :53:32. | |
have to really... Nitin Mehta, we had to leave it there. Not for the | :53:33. | :53:38. | |
animals' say, but the humans' sake. If you had to save a life, would it | :53:39. | :53:44. | |
be and animal life or a human one? Take off your Peta hat and speak | :53:45. | :53:48. | |
personally. I don't know the specifics. I have no idea what I | :53:49. | :53:54. | |
would do in a moment of panic. You would save an animal ahead of a | :53:55. | :54:01. | |
human? In a moment of panic and crisis, I don't get any single one | :54:02. | :54:06. | |
of us can predict. Is that your viewpoint? The bigger picture, there | :54:07. | :54:11. | |
is a great ape Project which proposes that great apes like | :54:12. | :54:19. | |
gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans and bonobos are so humanlike that | :54:20. | :54:23. | |
they deserve basic legal protections such as the right to life, | :54:24. | :54:29. | |
protection against suffering and freedom from incarceration. I think | :54:30. | :54:35. | |
that is the way to go. I think we need to recognise that we humans are | :54:36. | :54:41. | |
not unique in our capacity for feelings, emotions, language, | :54:42. | :54:45. | |
sociability and so on. We need to extend the realm of life... Rights | :54:46. | :54:50. | |
to other thinking, feeling creatures which feel pain and suffering the | :54:51. | :54:56. | |
same as us. If we would not want to inflict suffering on the humans, why | :54:57. | :55:01. | |
should we inflicted on others suffering... Nobody is suggesting | :55:02. | :55:04. | |
that human life is so precious that we should be allowed to just | :55:05. | :55:09. | |
liberally treat animals inhumanely. I was out cycling in the Lake | :55:10. | :55:12. | |
District at the beginning of the week on holiday, I fell off my bike | :55:13. | :55:16. | |
trying to swerve because a man was walking his dog, his instinctive | :55:17. | :55:22. | |
reaction, he was calming the dogs down, I was lying face down and he | :55:23. | :55:26. | |
suddenly said, are you all right? There is a disproportionate culture | :55:27. | :55:31. | |
in this country that we see animal suffering has a right at the expense | :55:32. | :55:35. | |
of humanity. Nobody wants animals to suffer that you cannot in anywhere | :55:36. | :55:39. | |
compare a monkey taking its own picture with vivisection and it is | :55:40. | :55:47. | |
disgraceful that the two R. I went out there to raise these | :55:48. | :55:51. | |
issues, this is what conservation Sitak -- photography does. To be | :55:52. | :55:58. | |
harangued by an animal rights organisation is a bit... That is | :55:59. | :56:06. | |
what we all have time for. Emma has some comments. You can command to | :56:07. | :56:16. | |
Facebooked life. Early in the programme we debated gender | :56:17. | :56:20. | |
stereotypes, Nanette Newman starred in some washing up liquid outfits in | :56:21. | :56:23. | |
the 80s. Let's remind you. Ferry's longer | :56:24. | :56:29. | |
lasting Certs mean it can do all this and more, much more. On average | :56:30. | :56:35. | |
50% more. And, of course, it is still as mild and gentle as ever. It | :56:36. | :56:40. | |
is not just a little bit better, it is 50% better than the best of the | :56:41. | :56:45. | |
rest. Nanette Newman, good morning. How do you feel about these new | :56:46. | :56:50. | |
rules from the advertising Standards Authority? Perhaps your advert would | :56:51. | :56:58. | |
not be made today? I think it is so ridiculous. They really | :56:59. | :57:00. | |
underestimate us women. We are cleverer and more savvy. To be | :57:01. | :57:03. | |
offended by somebody standing in a commercial and saying this product | :57:04. | :57:07. | |
is better than anything else, whether a man, a woman or whatever, | :57:08. | :57:13. | |
it is just a commercial. They are ridiculous that they will ban this. | :57:14. | :57:16. | |
There are much more important things. I do not think because you | :57:17. | :57:22. | |
stand there saying use this washing-up liquid or wash the floor | :57:23. | :57:26. | |
with this that you are demeaning women. You might not be demeaning it | :57:27. | :57:30. | |
but you might be influencing what a girl thinks her role could be. | :57:31. | :57:35. | |
Advertising is very powerful, you admit that? About it is not that | :57:36. | :57:39. | |
powerful and I do not know of any women who would feel they would be | :57:40. | :57:42. | |
rushed back to the kitchen sink because of an advert. Women can do | :57:43. | :57:48. | |
anything, we have got there, we are very intelligent, we can be | :57:49. | :57:51. | |
