Of birds of prey that should belong back in this landscape. And why a publicity stunt done 50 years ago is still costing brummie songwriter roy wood a fortune. I mean, it has got to be about a million quid, i would have thought. Im ayo akinwolere, and this is inside out west midlands. How are you doing . Welcome to the show. Tonight, we are in the glorious Peak District, but first, lets talk football, because in 1978 viv anderson became the first black player to play at senior level for england. Now, almost a0 years on, we are still waiting for the first player of south Asian Heritage to play for this country, so we sent our reporter to find out if our clubs are doing enough. Who is going up and who is staying up . The time for talking. Like millions of kids, i dreamt about life as a professional footballer. Well, two left feet and 20 years later, football is my full time job, just not quite the one i had in mind. Needless to say, back then, i had no idea how hard it was going to be for any asian lad to make it as a pro footballer, no matter how talented they are. Because despite 7 of the population being asian, we make up less than 0. 5 of the 4000 or so professional players. In 1996, the report asians cant play football was published, challenging for the first time the lack of asian representation in football. It may well be because the clubs dont take them seriously, they dont look properly at asian players. We need to look at the barriers that are involved. Then in 1999. We now see there are some good asian players out there, and we need to do something. And again in 2005. Football is trying to put its house in order, by putting measures in place to combat racism both on and off the pitch. And, well, you get the picture. Yet here we are in 2017, still asking the same question where are all the asian footballers . I have come to meet danny batth, centre back at Championship Club wolverhampton wanderers. He is one ofjust ten British Asians currently playing professional football, so why arent there more . They dont have the right diet. In this day and age, come on. Asians are scared of the weather. Where did you get that from . it is a religious or cultural thing. That is interesting, that, because clearly that is what they are getting at in bend it like beckham, in 2002 asians prefer cricket. Not sure how true that is. No. I am not a fan of cricket. Their parents want them to become doctors or lawyers. Any young kid will want to have a dream, wont they . I dont think any young kid dreams about being a doctor or a lawyer. You obviously didnt meet my grandparents it is time to move on from stereotypes and to ask what the real barriers are facing asian footballers. Danny has been lucky. Ijust considered myself one of the lads, really, and got stuck in, and i dont think i have ever leant on that as an excuse or felt scapegoated by it. So it is nothing that has really held me back in the past, and i wont let it hold me back in the future. But what about those who dont make it through . What does he think needs to change . It is obviously a case of clubs taking it more seriously, and the structure at grassroot level perhaps being improved. And making sure that these lads get an equal opportunity. We find ourselves in this interesting situation where we are trying to put ourselves in the mindset of the scouts. And because of the lack of British Asian players coming through, do you think that plays on their minds when they go out . Youd think so, because we have spoke about the shocking figures. Not many of these British Asian lads make it through to first team football, so if you are a scout on a sunday morning looking at an under 12s squad, and youre just watching the game, you might look at an asian lad and think, i can pick him, give him a chance. But in the long term, what is the chance of him making the first team . So, are scouts not picking players because they are asian . Well, some clubs recognise the need to recognise the need to change the way they find talented players, like here at West Bromwich albion. Yeah, i have four scouts who are south asian, and they have all got special projects. They have all got a project which we have sat down and discussed, and me as a working class white guy, from a working class white area, where i live, i dont have the same understanding as those guys have about how to find these players. Four of the ten British Asians who are on pro contracts started their careers here at west brom, and steve is clear about the role clubs can play in changing the face of football. There are an awful lot of south asian boys living right close to the hawthorns, and if theyre not playing organised football, its ourjob, its the football clubs responsibility, to go and find out where they are playing football. So some clubs are making changes, but what about the fa, the guardians of the game . Three years ago, they set targets to increase asian participation at grassroots. They wanted 50,000 new British Asian players, 100 role models, 200 new asian scouts, and training scouts to be much more transparent in what it calls its talent id Education Programme. Before last year, there was no talent id Education Programme in football at all, so it was all a bit of a mystery area. A lot of the qualifications are set up specifically for professional clubs, and we have enabled asian scouts from grassroot clubs to go on the same courses, so that theyre able to network with professional clubs, because a lot of football is around networking, who you know within the professional game. So were tying to build those bridges as well. Long term, could you give me some form of timescale when you can see a proper visible breakthrough of asian footballers making it into the higher levels of the english game . I think within two or three years, we will know where we stand within participation. If youre looking at the professional game, and the professional mens game, its hard to put a time frame. If i gave you a time frame, id be guesstimating. I must say, i do feel that for the first time, the fa arentjust talking a good game, theyre out there pushing for change. But, for me, progress is still painstakingly slow and, well, some peoplejust arent prepared to wait. Harpreet singh didntjust set up his own club, or his own league, he went one step further and registered his own football association, the panjab fa. Harpreet, explain to me why you decided to form the panjab fa. And what are the benefits of playing for it . I want the Punjabi Community to be able to play International Football. There is so much talent out there. Where are they going to play . Who will they represent . Every player, i believe, should be able to experience the glow of representing their community. I think that is absolutely valuable. Its matchday, and a big moment for harpreet. His team is lining up against an england c side which represents england at non league level. Just as the fa picks players to represent the national side, the panjab fa picks players for its own international competitions, allowing British Asians to get a taste of International Football for the very first time. What its done is actually brought people together. Its given huge engagement. Never mind if youre punjabi, its become the flagship carrier for British Asians, to believe that actually there is light at the end of the tunnel. While we continue to wait for the fas changes to take effect, this could be the nearest a British Asian will get to an england shirt any time soon. If youd like to drop me a line about that film, the e mail address is ayo bbc. Co. Uk. The Peak District is known for its incredible wildlife, but look up, and you might struggle to see any birds of prey. Now, why is this . Well, we have been investigating evidence theyre being shot illegally. I need to warn you, you might find some of the images in this next report a little disturbing. The peak park the uks first and most Popular National park. But something is missing. People love this place, and it is a National Disgrace that we do not have the kind of birds of prey that should belong back in this landscape. Peregrine falcons have been more successful breeding on the side of buildings in our cities which surround the Peak District, rather than up here in the dark peak itself. And for another bird of prey, the situation is even worse. The hen harrier hasnt bred in the Peak District since 2014. It is sometimes called the grey ghost of the moors, due to the males plumage. But it could also be because, in england, they are almost extinct, and the hen harrier has become the symbol of the campaign. This is an integral part of our natural and cultural heritage, and it is not here because of human intervention. We have to have a ban on driven grouse shooting applause. We have seen people who have broken the law, and it is always a minority in any profession that brings it into disrepute, and we want to get rid of them from our profession. February last year, bird watchers spotted something unusual on National Trust land in the Peak District. An armed man, a few metres from what looks like a mock male hen harrier. The suspicion, it was an attempt to lure and kill birds of prey. It was a surprise to see it on our land. But this has been the subject of discussion and debate in the dark peak for some years. Evidence of persecution of birds of prey normally looks like this. The bodies of recovered raptors, with x rays used to prove theyd been shot. This sparrowhawk was found in august. Its the subject of an Ongoing Police investigation. 0fficers didnt bring any charges relating to this footage, but the National Trust cancelled its grouse shooting tenants lease. We need partners who we can work with and trust, and in this instance, it felt like that relationship had broken down. The tenants declined to comment. Grouse shooting takes place in the uk uplands between august and december. So called beaters drive the game birds towards the guns. To sell day shooting, which people will pay thousands of pounds to shoot lots of grouse, you have to kill all the things that might eat the grouse before your clients want to shoot them. Mark avery used to be conservation director of the rspb. Now, he writes about birds and campaigns against grouse shooting. Last year, there was a petition that i started that raised 123,000 signatures actually to ban intensive grouse shooting. Well, thats not to happen very quickly, but more and more people are becoming aware of the problems and agitated about what is happening in our national parks. Devonshire green in sheffield, and one of ten uk events for so called hen harrier day, held to highlight the plight of the bird. Six years ago, there were four successful nests in england. This year, there were three. So i think it is safe to say things are not going very well. There is enough habitat in england for over 320 pairs of hen harriers. This is an integral part of our natural and cultural heritage, and it is not here because of human intervention. The Moorland Association, which represents grouse shooting estates, says it fully supports efforts to encourage numbers of hen harriers. The Moorland Association initially offered inside out the chance to film the work of gamekeepers in the Peak District, but that didnt materialise. It is an industry under increasing fire. The British Association for shooting and conservation represents all forms of shooting. Again, we find ourselves defending grouse shooting. The position from basc is that it is legal, good for conservation, it is good for the habitat, and it protects other birds and other wildlife. And how good is it for the economy . Grouse shooting, we often hear, is a big part of the rural economy. The most recent research put a figure of about £100 million per annum on the grouse shooting economy. I think one of the reasons, especially in the Peak District, it has come under some scrutiny is the apparent illegal persecution of some wildlife. What do you make of that . You can run a shooting estate and develop the habitat and provide a surplus for shooting without breaking the law, and we totally condemn anybody that persecutes wildlife in any way. We have seen people that have been convicted for wildlife crime, whether it is persecution of birds of prey or anything else. If it continues, then obviously people will continue to question why grouse shooting continues. The National Trust has advertised for another shooting tenant on its land in the Peak District a decision is due soon. We wont settle for a partner in whom we cannot have 100 confidence in. We have not been prescriptive in our tender about whether it should be driven grouse shooting or not, but certainly very intensive forms of land use are difficult to square with our outcomes, including increasing numbers of birds of prey. There is a problem about their populations in the uk. Some of that may be down to illegal activity, but it is also down to the pressure of human beings wanting more places for recreation, more countryside recreation, more for their homes, so it is notjust a question of persecution, this is a much more complicated issue. In this area of the Peak District, we have a significant and serious problem, which i would even say is a National Disgrace, that we do not have the birds of prey that we should have back in our national park. This could be a fantastic place for coming to watch wildlife, and particularly birds of prey. At the minute, we do not have it, but if you speak to anybody who loves wildlife, who loves the Peak District, they all say, we love that vision, we would love to see that vision. Theres an exciting future if we think about the uplands in a very, very different way. 50 years ago, bbc radio 1 took to the airwaves, and if youre a music geek, youd remember that the first song they played in 1967 was flowers in the rain, by birmingham band the move. Did you know, though, that publicity from that song threatened to bring down a government . Well, nick 0wen has been finding out how that tune is still controversial to this very day. Musicians Love Publicity stunts. It gets them talked about and helps them sell more singles. You know what . Pop stars dont do controversy like they used to. 50 years ago, publicity promoting a song about flower power caused a political storm when five teenagers from birmingham found themselves taking on the most powerful man in britain. There was always a governmental looking car with dark windows parked across the street. It was like. Secret service guys following us and all that, you know . So how did a hippy anthem written half a century ago become one of the most controversial songs in history . 1967 was the summer of love. For a rebellious new generation, it was a time of flower power and free love. I was barely out of short trousers, but at the end of that glorious summer, i remember the excitement surrounding the launch of a new radio station. Good morning, everyone, welcome to the exciting new sound of radio 1. And the first record on Tony Blackburns turntable was flowers in the rain by birmingham band the move. Woke up one morning half asleep. With all my blankets in a heap. And yellow roses scattered all around. Wow, so good to hear it, and on vinyl, you know, just transports me back to that summer of love, 1967. All you need is love, san francisco, flower power, long hair, all that stuff, absolutely brilliant. And also, the 60s as a whole for me, the night england won the world cup, that very night, i went to the windsorjazz festival, and saw the move for the first time ever. Who would have believed id still be talking about that song 50 years later . The move were a five piece band from birmingham with a bad boy reputation. Robert davidson was their photographer. Every time i was sort of near them to photograph them, i never knew what was going to happen, because they would be up there playing, and suddenly a naked woman would appear and skit across the stage or smoke bombs would go off, fire alarms would sound, just anything went. 50 years on, former move bandmates bev bevan and Trevor Burton have agreed to share their memories of those hell raising days. Carl wayne had this massive axe. 0n the way to gigs, we would stop at a second hand shop and buy a couple of tellies for about a fiver each, and hed smash them on stage. A few people got cut. The who smashed their guitars, and we smashed televisions. The man behind the publicity stunts was the bands manager, the late tony secunda. He even orchestrated this saucy photo shoot of the moves songwriter, roy wood, signing a new contract. It was anything for publicity. Thats why bands signed with him. But not everyone was on board. At his home in derbyshire, roy wood plays me some new material, and tells me that back in the 60s he was unhappy the move courted publicity. Ijust wanted us to be a good band. I think, you know, we could have been a much better Musical Group if we had concentrated more on the music. Woke up one morning half asleep. With all my blankets in a heap. And yellow roses scattered all around. Then came the release of flowers in the rain, a song that initially was not controversial at all. It was about someone that wasnt doing very well, mentally. And was in a place where they could recover, you know. Just sitting watching flowers in the rain. And getting away from the stresses of life in general. Flowers in the rain. So how did a song about something about something as innocent as watching flowers in the rain become so controversial, and how come the band that wrote it has never received a penny in royalties . Well, it was all down to another publicity stunt, orchestrated by tony secunda. Without telling the band, he had had a cartoon made to help promote the song. Inspired by scurrilous rumours at the time, it depicted the then Prime Minister, Harold Wilson, in a compromising situation with a woman in a boudoir. But there was no evidence the rumours were true, and wilson hit back. I remember coming out of a gig, and we walked out, and it was was like banks of photographers with flashbulbs going off. It was like being liz taylor, you know. And i said, what is happening . Oh, you dont know . You are being sued by the Prime Minister but even then, tony secunda still did not seem to take it seriously. Instead, he treated the bands Court Appearance as another photo opportunity and arranged for them to arrive in true rock and roll fashion in a chauffeur driven limo. It was a hired rolls royce. We just got out the van, walked round the corner and. There he is we didnt realise how serious it was. Is that you . Thats me. You havent changed at all, trevor. We went to court, but we were late getting there, so it was all over when we arrived. We have no faith in any political sides at all, we vote for people like frank zappa, jimi hendrix. I think we were also putting on a bit of a, we dont care, brave face, smiley faces, were rebels, we dont care about this stuff. But actually, we were pretty. Scared . Pretty scared, really. In court, without the band present, secunda and the cartoon artist had agreed a deal with Harold Wilsons lawyers. All the royalties from flowers in the rain were to go to charities of wilsons choice. I lost more than anybody else. From now until then, i have never been paid a penny. Which is wrong why should i have paid for someone elses misdemeanour . 0utside court, tony secunda played down the impact the ruling would have. If the records a hit worldwide, it could come to about £10,000. Cost him nothing well never see the money, so i do not think well miss it. If the promotion for this record was a publicity stunt, as some people are saying, it has been a pretty expensive one for you. It wasnt a publicity stunt. How can anybody suggest it was . We did it as a cartoon, remember that. We did it . You did it the case made National Headlines and ruffled feathers in the corridors of power. We got really quite scared, we were always looking behind us, because we thought there were secret service guys following us. Are you serious . Yes. There was was a governmental looking car with black windows parked across the street when we came out of a gig. Keeping their eye on us so how much did that court ruling cost the band . You have got to remember that, every time flowers in the rain is played on the radio, it brings in royalties, and it is included in almost every compilation of the summer of love. That certainly adds up. Do you have any concept how much you might have made and lost . No to be fair, i havent really sat down and thought about it, in case i get depressed i mean, it has got to be about a million quid, i would have thought. The Harold WilsonCharitable Trust told us each year royalties from the song have ranged from £25,000 to just a few hundred, but it couldnt give us a grand total. The moneys gone to a range of charities, chosen by Harold Wilson and his widow, lady wilson, including scope, Stoke Mandeville hospital, and a number of methodist chapels. It wouldve been nice, i think, if we could have been part of saying which charities the money should go to. I probably would have chosen the Birmingham Childrens hospital. Because youre a brummie . Yeah. I dont want to give it away to people that i dont know. But despite the controversy, flowers in the rain remains a classic. Woke up one morning half asleep with all my blankets in a heap and yellow roses scattered all around. And, for me, it will always conjure up memories of that magical summer of love, half a century ago. Right, were at the end of the show. Have a good one, bye bye. Hello there. A pretty pleasant autumn day out there across many parts of the country. Some sunshine, a bit of cloud in the north and west, but look at this view from stirling, beautiful blue skies and just a little bit of fair weather cloud. A little more cloud is moving in from the north west, because we have this frontal system heading in from the atlantic. A fairly weak feature but introducing more cloud to Northern Ireland at the west of scotla nd to Northern Ireland at the west of scotland with some outbreaks of patchy rain and a few showers creeping into parts of north west england, down to the north midlands. Most other parts of the country fine and dry. Sunny spells across much of wales and southern england. Some places a little cloudy but the cloud is thinning and breaking. Mostly dry, 17 or 18. Cloudy skies as we move to the north west. To the east of the pennines, more likely to get some sunshine breaking through. Fairly cloudy with one or two light showers in Northern Ireland and for the western half of scotland, the rain will move in. Eastern scotland looking mostly fine but not as warm as yesterday. Into the evening hours, quite a lot of cloud, particularly in the northern half of the country. We will see some patchy outbreaks of rain here overnight and the odd spot of drizzle further south. With all that cloud around, it will be a mild night, certainly frost free, temperatures around 11 12 for most of us to kick off your monday morning. To start the new working week, a cloudy start. Some holes in the cloud, sunny spells in central and eastern parts of the country. A band of light showers just pushing a bit further eastwards across the country into the afternoon. Some sunny spells in scotland are likely to see some more persistent rain arriving in Northern Ireland in the afternoon, ahead of that 14 18d. Quite mild but things turning increasingly breezy and unsettled. Into tuesday, this first front work southwards and eastwards across the country, tending to fizzle out as it does so. Just a band of cloud, quite breezy with a few showers working south, followed by brighter conditions from the north west. The next area of low pressure brings rain across scotland later on tuesday, but ahead of that 18 degrees or so in the sunnier spells, turning cooler for scotland with the arrival of wind and rain. Through the course of the week, fairly unsettled, quite breezy, some sunshine, particularly towards the south and east. The wettest and windiest weather is likely in the North Western half of the country. You can find more details on the forecast up to ten days ahead by heading to our website. This is bbc news. The headlines at 11 Hurricane Nate is downgraded to a Tropical Storm and is expected to quickly weaken as it moves further across americas deep south. After her difficult party conference, theresa may says shes resilient and wont hide from a challenge. Nicola sturgeon says she will commit to exploring all options to secure eu citizens status in scotland ahead of her partys annual conference.
