Hello welcome to live from the center of the b.b.c. News room Chloe to life with you for the next hour I'm sitting amongst journalists working on a television station b.b.c. World news also that is working on online a many of them are covering the story of hurricane which we will discuss in the next few minutes but 1st I want to bring you this news which is reaching us from the Reuters news agency that has been an explosion at the entry of f. Ailed in Afghanistan the u.s. Military says it has caused a small number of casualties so that news reaching us from the Reuters News Agency an explosion at the entry in the background in Afghanistan has caused a small number of casualties according to the u.s. Military we're going to talk about hurricane which of course has been battering the Caribbean we're hoping to connect with the prime minister and. In the next few minutes a guest on brambles I'm sure you can appreciate we are having a few problems getting through to him communications all patchy in fact communications have been down. Since around 2 am with many people very concerned about what's happened to that one of the b.b.c. Weather presenters has been talking to Tom Cavanagh from b.b.c. Minutes about why hurricane and has been declared a Category 5 storm and explains where it came from. Hi I'm Sarah Keith Lucas and I'm a meteorologist at b.b.c. Weather Center this is b.b.c. Minute on hurricane it's the 9th storm of the 2017 Harken season and it is a huge storm we've only ever had a handful of hearkens with winds this strong 185 miles per hour it's Category 5 on a scale of $1.00 to $5.00 How is that worked out how is the 5 different from a 4 well a Category 5 hurricane is anything producing winds more than 157 miles per hour it's extremely rare that we see storms of quite this strength can you just tell me about where this hurricane started going to originate from Africa actually the storm built up across central Africa it's moved across the Atlantic already gathered pace gathered strength it's moving right across a huge swathe of the Caribbean fear a movie very very heavy but I think the main impacts are going to be the strong winds but also that storm surge as well almost like a bit of a tidal wave moving across a huge region if you see a minute well leisure explain a hurricane let's get a sense of what's happening right now in from Elizabeth Fein who joins us on the line now Elizabeth thanks for speaking to us give us a sense of what's happening right now where you will but currently it's pretty current. You know after the storm passes you know that in. Fact. You know. Given that you did not expect. This it was anticipated to be. Just very grateful right now and there's a big commute with everyone trying to. It's been so that when you get on the Real Well have you managed to venture out yourself and have a look at the damage around your home yes I have I'm actually at the office right now I'm at the prime minister's office where they were. On my way here there's a quite a bit of water. A lot of flooding on all mean roads. And so rain me I'm out about 7 or 8 o'clock this morning so we're dealing with the rain currently the rain has held up. But a lot of preparation was put employee into it that you know that the water runs off quickly and that Audrina with Clay is so you know we're we're looking at recovery within the next 12 to 24 hours. Where were you when the hurricane hit oh I was at home I'm with family and what we found long leaks. You know we we brace ourselves because it is it was predicted to be a song that we've never had not history the extent of it we've never heard of a category 5 plus plus plus so we were waiting for the worst however we are custom of getting some people strong winds and that is what we reckon parenting last night so you know we were saying to be. Very strong so we were able to sleep through the night you know conver really pretty much that me last night. And obviously just to teach consent here is the impact that in have on Bobby-Jo which was hit much much harder to do you know if any communication and has been established to you hearing what happened on that island Well currently from the best of my knowledge communication has not yet been established as a genuine. Communication with the public however I mean the safe company of and Bob you the scientist of the damage and he will communicate to us later on as to what is really need from me. But we've heard that you know the became quite a bit of damage to the prophecy as it pertains to life there would always support the Pay Pal It seems however we are waiting that. Well if you tell us that the prime minister Gaston Brown is actually involved at the moment I'm trying to assess the damage which trying to get 3 Jamie has agreed to speak to us has live on I was on the b.b.c. World Service but we struck him in communications which is perfectly understandable so we will continue trying 3 to him but in the meantime thank you ever so much for speaking to us with Fein from Mt get bring us right up to date with what has happened where she is with Archana. Now let's look at some of the other stories that you are sharing and viewing today in their process of vigils being held in various cities in India at the seething in response to the killing of the well known journalist in prominent government critic Garry long cash and cash was shot dead outside her home in Bangalore yesterday evening will see deep Chakravarty she is an author and a columnist I was a good friend of Gary's And he told me how they 1st met I 1st wrote a no go read along here's a colleague in believe 1000 eighties so we go back where I should be and. Called a Sunday and she was our correspondent from Bangalore. We became friends as well I will respond Corrie to be quite fearless very curious and with those strong sense of right and wrong. Very elevated sense of social consciousness about people about issues about what she thought needs to be done to. The so-called people who don't have a boy just necessarily even in a professed democracy like India so she always maintained a very very strong worldview if you worried about what she needs to do as a journalist and I think. When she left Sunday Magazine and subsequently other publications and joined. The ticket which was started by her father she sort of took on her own worldview and applied it to the kind of world view that she inherited your world from her father and many. A journal to be reckoned with in Karnataka state. She just sort of expanded her early days of the journalism to be discarded forward if you will when she became an editor and publisher herself and she's been for these past several years she's been increasingly fearless if I may put it that way and she's taken on very very difficult issues about common alyssum about right wing extremism not just with the Hindu right wing extremists but with the Muslim right wing instruments in India as well in fact any kind of extremism she's been come back trying to combat in her own way so when you talk about that fail lessness she has a not strong sense of right or wrong did he fail or did she Fayad that something like this could happen I think she knew that she ran a very very high. Degree of risk but I don't think she was afraid or even if she was I think she managed to admirably cover up and carry on because in in media I mean if you're doing a job in a political space and time. We all are afraid in one way or the other we fear for sometimes ourselves our our families our friends our ambitions our worldviews but we tend to many of us are able to put that fear behind us and carry on regardless because the job needs to be done because we believe in the job that the people you got the job to get done they're off today and even more so in India is fairly supercharged. Michael environment so I think he was very very aware of the risk she ran but she was was a very brave lady. Nothing would stop her except what finally did stop or unfortunately do you think it's become more dangerous for journalists to work in India to have that critical voice that she had I'm not sure really I mean you know it would appear so because you had some I mean if you look at the journalist without borders. They would say that India is one of the more dangerous cases in the world for journalists but I think what has happened in the last few years I would say 5 years or so the risk has emerged as a creator in urban India receiving a lot more of. An India we've been quite spoiled you see a lawyer all these years in Delhi Mumbai Bangalore Calcutta Chennai about elsewhere this is like the privileged Islands when the. People who really run the risk as journalists were those who lived in the hinterland if you will in sort of Outland. But now it is not because of the political situation there is because move inland to the bigger cities you know where yes we run greater risks journalists as a rule run greater risks not just risk to their lives but if you happen in basic government then you know how you know 100 different ways your phones can be tapped your emails can be hacked you could be stopped while you're going overseas because they say that there is a particular complaint against you or there could be so many different ways that are a journalist could be hindered from doing so our job. I'm just going to say we neither have been protests we know they've been vigils held for her today do you think anything will change as a result of her death. In the political environment you know because I think the far right in their hands too much at stake to give up on you know sort of a bleeding heart cause of a journalist being shot at I don't think that's going to change I don't think they're going to change but I think it would make many many journalists and people who work in media print television video who happen colleagues of Cory's or have been friends of Cory's or have been inspired by people like Cory I think we're going to be even more several generations of media people and then I think I'm going to be even more determined to carry on I mean if you want to be dramatic and call it The Good Fight the good work or whatever you will I think it just makes all of us a lot more determined to do what we need to do basically. Journalists respectable fear a favor. To listen to us on the b.b.c. World Service let's return to our top story now in the impact of hurricane in the Caribbean I'm pleased to say we've been able to connect now with the prime minister of. Pisa Gaston Brown who can speak to us live from Antigua thank he fit joining us on what is clearly a very busy day for you Have you been able to assess the damage not only in Mt go but probably more importantly in Peta. I play 1st of all let me add that unlike the prediction of devastation and destruction we had our innovation and impressive readiness and resilience. We certainly done extremely well the extent of the damage is very limited in value to the last reported had with it which would have been around 3 am was one in which a number of properties would have been damaged but we did not get the impression up to that point that the damage was extremely extensive Unfortunately we have no link with our view to presently and we have helicopters and supply you with about you there we're just waiting the all clear so we can give a more accurate description as to what the situation is in Baquba but in any event I really think that we have successfully weathered one of the most powerful hard. Dawned through this region and we have done so with stunning results and I think it's due to the level of preparedness people are venting about you would have heeded the warning and certainly with a tree that this storm with utmost respect and seriousness and as a consequence we would have seen very limited damage compared to the horrendous damage that was predicted. Do you get a sense that the cleanup and the recovery will be. Clearly easier than was Fiat's with such strokes make predictions. Well absolutely and this is due primarily to certain mitigating steps that were made prior to the song so for example we had gone ahead and clear a number of electrical wires all of the trees and thought they were hanging over those wires and I think that would have literally reduce the impact in terms of the amount of Paul line that living there down. Again in fact the drains as well in this country there was a comprehensive national program to ensure that we cleared all of the drain for that they could be the free flow of water and as a result flooding has been extremely limited so I would say that the mitigating Amec the sizes would have helped to reduce the impact of this storm and what is my portent is the actual responsibility that was taken by Butin not only for his personal safety but also for their respective family members and certainly for the neighbors it was a form of cooperation never seen before and as a result the impact of Hurricane Irene would have been limited we spoke to a number of people in Mt guys the last few hours here on my last people think very fearful of what has happened in the future what would you say to people right now he would have friends who have relatives worried about. Well at this point we are really mobilized to really the plight of the body you know I'm confident haven't been divided as president Starman haven't seen the level of preparedness I do not believe that the damage will be extensive the shelves in back with even Spirit anything at the end here and what is also good about that is that most of the structures there will still be structures with reinforced concrete so I'm pretty sure that they would have done well even though we have some information of some damage but at the end of day when you look at the type of catastrophe that we were actually faced with I think that extent of the damage we do in the middle. Animal compared to the protective damage on the u.s. She didn't people were doing that helicopter yourself and going ahead with a supplies to. Absolutely in fact I was there 2 days ago and myself and several My ministers we traveled there so that we could literally heightened level of preparedness and all of the bad events to understand us better the storm and the potential damage or havoc that it could wreak again did to. The property fully and I'm quite sure that as a result we would have been able to mitigate the impact of this stop. Thank you so much for speaking to us that is the prime minister of antique gas John Brown on what is clearly an incredibly busy day. Listening to us with Chloe chilly Welcome to the middle of the b.b.c. News room in London my colleagues are working on a variety of stories if you stories from some of our live pages at b.b.c. News dot com one of the top stories on b.b.c. Africa concerns Nigeria's president Bihari he's canceled his 2nd cap meeting in a week and you'll remember that he recently returned from extended medical leave in London on a business live page there's news that Stanley Fischer the vice chairman of the Federal Reserve has resigned he will leave the u.s. Central bank in mid October in a letter to Donald Trump he said it was all personal reasons and one more top story from the business pages budget airline Ryanair has said it will no longer allow customers to take 2 pieces of hand luggage into the cabin and talk about this in more detail an hour and 15 minutes time with our business correspondent the able. Now to an exclusive story from The Guardian newspaper it's about book worm It's a parasitic disease often found in areas of extreme poverty and it was found the book worm are rampant in County Alabama Jenice behind this report is Ed Pilkington He joins us now from New York site at tell us about your investigation. Well this is the 1st study of its type in modern times it was done by the school of Tropical Medicine in Houston Texas and what they did is they took samples of people down in and in one particular county Lawrence County. In the middle of the state in the deep south of the United States and this much awaited result was pretty shocking it found that more than one in 3 actually 34 percent of the. Show d.n.a. Exposure for hookworm. Now you have to sort of understand a bit about her quim to know why that's such a shocking result 1st off people thought to be eradicated from the states decades ago in fact they stopped looking for it but here we are finding out that it's still rampant and the thing about Book One is that it's an indicator of extreme poverty this is a parasite that you often get through the soles your feet if you're not wearing shoes it climbs through your body goes through the bloodstream and ends up in your gut and then sucks your blood and it depletes particularly the energy and the intellectual development of children it's a very strong indicator of extreme poverty and the fact that it's still sitting there in the deep south of the United States. Proportions that are pretty shocking has come as a wake up call that's how the scientists are describing it a wake up call for the inequality that is there in the United States today so tell us about the people you met and the conditions in which they mean. Again you want to bear in mind where this county sits it sounds County it was known as Bloody downs in the 1950 s. And sixty's because it was a central point of the civil rights struggle it's where Martin Luther King led the marches from Selma to Montgomery in the battle for voting rights in the civil rights movement today still come out primarily African-American and what you find on there is virtually no public assistance whatsoever about 80 percent of the people who live there have no public investment in sewage treatment and I visited spent several days down there and I saw many many houses vast majority of them where waste is pumped directly from houses through waste pipes out of a house down the field around the house maybe only 2030 feet and then just dumped in the open land that's not done out of desire the people who live in those conditions are despairing about it but they can't afford to do any. Thing else the local government expects them to pay for their own septic tanks they cost about $15000.00 the average income is $18000.00 so you can imagine it's absolutely impossible for people to invest in their own sanitation and as a result people are living in quickly shocking conditions there's so it is washing back into houses whenever the rains come and therefore it's not surprising that kids in particular are being exposed to these parasites that thrive amid such poverty. Were you shocked at what you saw. That would be putting it mildly I mean I went to one particular house where I saw this high sewage pipe coming out of the house there was a kid sitting on the stoop. With the pipe was just maybe a foot or 2 away from the kid who went out into a little trees and you saw the door sewage coming out of it and there's this cool kind of maybe 10 foot call of open sewage it was right it was actually moving when you look closely at it was moving with. And this is just maybe 20 feet away from the house maybe only 5 or 10 feet away from a basketball net where the kids were playing. And drinking water another pipe and drinking water was passing directly over the pool just feet away from this rising mass of sewage. And I thought yeah I was shocked personally I was shocked I thought I've lived in America now 11 years never seen anything quite like that you don't expect such extreme poverty to exist in a country that prides itself on being the richest country in the world I mean in 2017 Ed thank you so much for sharing your investigation with us that is at Pilkington has the genesis of The Guardian newspaper behind that story coming out of County Alabama you're listening to us on the b.b.c. World Service 30 minutes still to come to kind. You're with the b.b.c. World Service before the news we get creative I'm looking at this thinking light sky drift transparency from poetry to visual arts a lot of the words in the studio sometimes just like things are on the look you know they'll want to come up with something and literature for some rock to show you that there was crying when I was writing because it's very emotional we get inside the creative mind me to Palestinian rap when I start speaking Arabic some people. Scared a feminist filmmaker is about women is the man who comes and sees the beans as we delve into the world behind the arts how do you simply profoundly connect and say something anyone from the u.k.

News. Hello welcome back to life on the b.b.c. Will set his claim live with the for the next 30 minutes now top global trend in the last hour is Salvador Dali this is in response to results of a d.n.a. Test on the Spanish artist remains year regional etc Done Eva Hart is him sitting next to me in the news room so this is a story that we've been following on the u.s. With great interest just remind us of the back story feel it here is a particularly juicy one this one now a woman called Maria Martinez who's a lady in her early sixty's and she claims that her who has claimed for a number of years almost 10 years that she was the daughter of Salvador Dali she says that this was the result of an affair that she was a love child her mother worked in a seaside town a seaside resort in Catalonia northeastern Spain where Dolly lived and worked for a long time she did bear some resemblance to Talia had to be said and she finally won a court case in Madrid after years of trying to get Dolly's remains exe you and now they're buried under the stage in his theater museum in and another nearby town the foundation that runs this museum was it was opposed to the exhumation 40 but once the court decision happened allowed it to take place there was a big ceremony. That the museum had to be closed off lots of journalists were brought in a massive worldwide interest in the story and they took material this material has been tested and the d.n.a. Tests say if she is not the daughter of Salvador Dali has there been any reaction from her well and I would not that I've seen from her specifically the foundation itself has condemned the whole exhumation process he said it's been an absurd affair and. There it was without evidence that the examination took place anyway and it's criticized the court in stern language as it is also said that it reserves the right to take actions for damages and compensation and you have to realize of course the museum had to be shot for this is this whole process to take place so they could be further claims essentially say that they said there wasn't any evidence did she not have to present any evidence at all before the exhumation was approved Well she has previously tried to take a d.n.a. Test they did it several years ago they did tests on a mask that belonged to Salvador dalà but the test those tests were inconclusive and they decided that there was not enough. Results so that the only way of getting good d.n.a. Test were by Go to examine him and take samples directly from his body Danny thanks for popping over to speak to us that's our Europe regional editor down 800. It's a c. Supporter c I like it is just sat down speeches in the next couple of minutes about Nissan's latest electric car but 1st let's talk about this with our senior and statement reporter Chichi isn't Disney's latest live action movie a lot and it's got a new character it's a little bit controversial tell us why Chichi Well the new character. Is caught as the rumor mill has sparked prints and and the reason it's causing controversy is because it's played by a young gentleman called Billy Magnussen and the reason that's controversial is because he white and I don't know if your listeners or anybody else. Remembers the animation of Aladdin there were no white characters in it the other reason this is causing controversy is because since Disney announced they were making a live action Levy often the costing has been king and a lot of fans of the are. You know all the animation I didn't really unhappy with the costing of the lease Herrick says because none of them come from an Arabic or Middle Eastern background has there been any reaction from I'm a guy Ritchie is directing this film has there been any reaction from the team behind it to Melissa criticism of the casting Well this is the other issue is Disney when they start making a film or going into production and very credibly secretive about the process and I actually spoke to Dr Ritchie a couple of weeks ago and he didn't even know that he was going to start shooting on the Monday and then this model of state before so they do keep things on the to themselves effectively the so there's been no official comment from them but you know this isn't the 1st time Holywood has been accused of whitewashing all sticking in a white character to be able to sell the film. They've had Scarlett Johanssen was criticised when she took a part of the lead part because that was based on the Japanese animation. Of Jasmine Aladdin is health Indian and people feel like the role should have someone of our Because that's where the traditional fables come from Tilda Swinton was criticised when she took the role of the ancient one and Dr Strange. Let's move show death note has been criticized because that again was based. In Asia and it's not that many I think you know Asian characters and it was moved and set in the u.s. . It's it's constantly becoming more and more vocal and the criticism of Hollywood effectively taking characters and replacing them with a white character over the last sorry to say that back in 9 Top $100.00 films since 20075.7 names or speaking characters were Asian That is incredibly low I mean it begs the question if the same much criticism of this happening why is. Hollywood's not responding well you could also the same question about black characters were female characters in front of and behind the lead it had there has been a turning point only a couple of weeks ago screen was dead cold the whole had stepped out of a role in Help way and he issued a statement saying that he felt that he had to respect the fact that the character he was supposed to play and how boys had Asian descent and he didn't want to effectively be accused of whitewashing the reason that's so different is because when Scarlett Johansson was criticised she didn't step out of the role when Emma Stone and remarked criticize they didn't help the world he's the 1st quite notable actor to step aside and make a comment also saying my ad or you could look at it from the point of view that the Hollywood you get behind him lines produces back to him and said that they would cost that character from an Asian descent rather than just finding a white face to put in that role could speak she's like you very much as a senior entertainment reporter Chichi is. Sitting opposite me is c I like it business news reporter we're going to talk we'll couple of business stories 1st up next sounds latest version of its electric car which today yes indeed this is a new version of the nissen leaf which is in fact the world's best selling electric car and what's good about the new one is this it'll have a much longer range than the previous version must really important if you're driving an electric car you don't want to be left stranded now the original the sun leaf was launched back in 2010 and its goal the sun's goal at the time was to make a mainstream electric car it's been on sale for 7 years and during that period they've sold about $280000.00 of them which is pretty good for a niche market but compared to the overall car market it's a drop in the ocean. And. What it was launched it didn't have any major rivals there was the Chevrolet Volt which the plug in hybrid not quite the same thing but not much on the market so it had the market pretty much to itself and in its day it was acceptable as a city run around it had a range of around 100 miles before Minutes that wasn't exciting but was perfectly adequate but now things are changing for the past few years we've had the Tesla Model s. On the market which has much much better performance much faster much longer range and more expensive. So that was a different kind of car it was a prestige car but now Tesla is launching its model 3 which is meant to be a mainstream car it's a lot cheaper but it still has much longer range than the old necessarily still is a lot faster and other manufacturers mainstream manufacturers like Volkswagen they're coming up with a lot of new electric models which will be on the market in the next few years they will also have more than 250 miles as their range they'll also have much better performance so listen basically having pioneered this market to a certain extent now needs to up its game because it's going to get a lot more congested and as we know the market for electric cars is starting to grow rapidly it's likely to grow even more quickly in the years to come because of tightening up emissions regulations Let's also talk about Ryanair the airline is changing its baggage policy again and again and rather confusingly so budget airlines in the past have encouraged us not to carry hold luggage so they've charged us for carrying hold luggage and there's a reason for this it takes time to load it's heavy so it costs fuel for the airlines and the airlines want to keep prices down they want to keep their costs down so they can keep prices down they operate on those margins now passengers reacted to that by carrying a lot of hand luggage and a couple of years ago Ryanair actually relaxed its rules on hand luggage and said that people could carry 2 bags on board unfortunately the airline says that passengers have been abusing that which means people have been carrying on too many bad. That 2 big and holding up aircraft so that they can't take off on time and that's a problem so what they're saying now is that you can carry 2 pieces of luggage to the gate but unless you have priority boarding you'll only be able to carry one of them onto the aircraft the other one be put in the hold free of charge and if you have one of those nifty little Willie cases that a lot of people like to take on his hand luggage one Fred that'll have to go in the hole to whatever unless you buy speedy boarding No no we lose it all unless you're speeding as we understand it the messages from Ryanair this morning were a little confused but my colleague Richard Quest going to transport correspondent has been investigating this and as we understand it we'll be cases will have to go in the hole all bit free of charge so you take 3 security as 100 at hand luggage and then they put them in the whole industry isn't it so many people it's a selling point is no you can take this on board I mean it people are going to be pretty fed up with the case and don't get me on I do think there will be a certain amount of confusion until passengers get used to this but you have to remember that the airlines are trying to balance encouraging people to pay for hold luggage and runners now reduce the amount of charges for hold luggage as part of all this they wanted people not to carry her hold luggage but if they carry too much hand luggage you get on board the aircraft you've got your bags you don't know where to put them the aircrew have to take them off you and put them in the hold and all of that takes time so they're trying to keep time delays down to a minimum and inconvenience down to a minimum as well so that keeps costs low as well so it's a balance this is their latest version of trying to sort that out we will see how it goes thank you very. Confused and I'm can see you other passengers will be to absolutely that is the I like it and business news reports. Now report in the l.a. Times from a classroom in Los Angeles of a teacher he talked to his students about DACA dream as it's gone viral history teacher David will. Thomas Jefferson High School in downtown l.a. Off to students about my response to the latest news on the defensive Action for Childhood Arrivals program after President Trump announced plans to end it well we can speak to David will now he's just a class in Los Angeles Hi David Ok are you doing good frank you know before we get into your conversation in the classroom to people listening around the world who have no idea what the difference Action for Childhood Arrivals program is just explain to us. What it does is it is a bit of protection for about 800 documented systems in our country that the Obama administration put in place and allows them to reapply every couple of years for work visas and the ability to continue to go to college and be productive citizens in our society and so you raised bases an issue in your club yeah because a decision yesterday by Trump I just wanted to get a feel for the for the class and see how they were feeling about it so we talked about it for about 15 minutes at the beginning of class and how did you approach it and what were the conversations that you. Well for the most part I asked them but you know what is what happened the doco what charm do yesterday and from there I was able to prompt kids to you know to get responses from them about what they felt about it and what they knew about it and I asked them the researcher a little bit further just like a little simple Google search and then we continue to talk about it but the number one thing I want to do is reassure him that you know I'm here for them and I have their backs and I wouldn't I wouldn't when Elaine think that happened to me it was in our schools. A new school is in downtown l.a. So I'm assuming that the wrong number of students whose families are affected by this yeah when I asked if your family's after explained if your family would be affected by that almost every single kid raise their hand so we have a large population here at our school where it would definitely affect. This negatively with a worried. Yeah I think they are a little bit worried but I think it's the same worry that happened when Trump was elected it just what does this mean for them personally and their family and so there is a little you know to be scared to be worried but I had to reassure him that there's no sense of us having a freak out about it right now though let's get all the facts and let's figure out how we can combat this in the best way possible that you usually talk about these only things like missing you. Yeah I think I do I think it's very easy because I'm a you know I think history teacher that when we have current events that occurred there we bring them up in class just to show that you know that it's good to be aware of your know your immediate community but also what's gotten around locally and you know around the world as well well thank you ever so much for speaking to us about that David said he sounds like a very interesting classes that you hold far more interesting than the ones I had at school that's David Willetts who's just out of class in l.a. .

That's the start of a New York Fashion Week and them has some news that some people may think is progressive to luxury French fashion houses with brands such as Christian Dior Gucci seller wrong and Luis all have found ultra thin models on shoots and also on the catwalks we can speak to full models now here in the u.k. Katie green the NASA Edge to man the t. Shirt Wilson and also Alice pins Thank you all for speaking to us. Katie 1st of all what's your experience within the industry how much pressure is put on models for this ultra thin look immense pressure every model out there is being told to since and then thin and I have firsthand experience on the face of one's brought back in 2008 now I got signed to an agency who then told me to lose 2 stone and to my healthy size 12 to a size 8. To 4 pm They gave me so the gym regime to stick to every day I left the agency didn't want to sacrifice my health so happiness subsequently you know I called my career out and made a successful career as a plus size model and I've never been happier but to show I want to bring you in because I know you've worked internationally you've worked in from the particular pressure in from wants to look a certain way and you know it's. Cost him for his past so. Anyway it cost him so. Give me an offer here and if you're not. Like this go. And he was. So there's always a. Woman. I'm to you think in your view the girls that you see that I see profession do you think they are just these women that are super super thin or are they having to work very very hard to keep the weight off. No I think. Not I like my. Wife. I'm not. Crazy. Alice what about your experiences. I just think maybe being inside is not natural for everyone. I I'm sorry is there I myself of my life and I want those coaches of all those I am one of those. I would never just. You know my white men my. Of Colby's to somebody I know if I vote for this kind of life so somebody could con daughter dedicate to them more doing. A full career. Really sorry to interrupt just explain to our listeners around the world you say that you so many see right is that something you have to work out or do you mean You mean like actually I knew so for free then. Are you behind them or the lady in the horse and the 1st thing he saw me always. It's I'm not sure it's not show at all in the eyes and. Yeah I didn't actually. Go see him I want to know it's easy to draw precise I think they just imagine as themselves sometimes and. Yeah it all depends on what you can high fashion model is I think it's easier for them to maintain like Roy because you know we have to work with Marge to do that why. Well. And I don't have an answer I want you to speak to Alice because Alice says she's never seen any pressure put on models to be thin and she says herself she's a very slim naturally slim model. I mean I would say like I was saying earlier some people aren't actually saying and in my experience I have seen models who are trying to much to say into a certain type of hold however. It depends when you're more than an agency of the campaign you're going for I would say I would say my person is I would never quite encouraged anyone to try and I saw no need to talk but. It's more of a pressure point in France I haven't seen that much of an issue in the u.k. I just really think because they have a good short gran's in the shoulder and asked them that there's a lot more pressure. Just explained the sucking of the ice cubes comment that you just made that. Well somehow some models have committed saying that they don't have anything and they just I mean does not help all of. Us myself and I would never do that because I like it and that's not what I do I always encourage a healthy lifestyle. Is not necessarily just because you want to be really not the be all end all of the want Alice because from that point the Panetta made there about the kitchen the house is wanting to have the really slim models why do you think that is g think the plates look better on. Thin women. I think what you're seeing bullying is really. Not so you know and. I do Ok I mean I. Have men therefore it's not natural for everyone to be but then made up in. Any of it. So you know 5 years old that I was always just them. So I don't know we're just really. All white people and I think maybe in me personally would the right there all be Instagram while it goes on like all this and all those whatever. They. Were under too much pressure or people who are. I don't know where does well you. Should speak to Alice. And I guess. Maybe for her not to be skinny but I've seen girls and I'm. And I've been told myself that I'm a size 8 and. I'm not and I'm somebody and I have. I'm going to. Be as I am for my height. Did you say too much breasts Yeah what you meant to do about that. We design of the so we've said that he didn't like the way the clothes. I had not. Quite the clothes and someone just doesn't. They sell to some of the buyers were like well I. Buy Buy and so. I think this this move by these 2 you know French fashion houses the ultra thin models on shoots and on catwalks do you think that will actually happen for the 3 with that. You'll see both sides 60 but we're not used to go forward but we go to. Where they're going to cost. Healthy 8. Yeah my fear is that sometimes people say this and they'll do it for attention and then they put on the back burner you know to different countries they said oh we're going to models they last about a month and then they go back to using them I mean going back to sort of why design is you skinny models actually have to do with a fashion designer a few years ago and he admitted this that the only reasonable use is very small goals include because it saves money on fabric I mean that's an absolutely ludicrous comment but that's how he sells he not very androgynous very almost boy because it saves on expensive fabric. Well you told me a lot today I think you have so much for speaking to us that's Katie green We also heard from Vanessa Lateesha Wilson and also from Alice pins how much time left on today's program but if you've been on social media or indeed been on the b.b.c.

Catch if there is a bigger tone. 7 But the real stuff. Is the 3rd time I've listened to and it's still making me giggle it's a video that was spotted online by Emily from a team in fact she's sitting here with me in the center of the news we were chuckling away well that was playing essentially footage of an Irishman's attempt to remove a bats from his home it's gone viral with more than a 1000000 views to be honest it wasn't necessarily the most sensible way to try and get a bat out of your room for a start they close the door I would've thought that was number one in the door and it might fly up by itself but it really is worth a couple of minutes of your time and it cause great.
