also prominent show news side, but also prominent show business type people. very difficult to gauge their pay whether they are men or women, isn't it? so much negotiation goes on in the background. there are agents in there. it's a tricky area, isn't it? of course it's tricky. one of the challenges is usually don't have the transparency, it's all done behind closed doors in secret. that is what has been blown apart by the bbc publishing pay information last week. what anyone would be looking at, and what our lawyers about, is saying is this objectively justified? saying is this objectively justified 7 can you saying is this objectively justified? can you look at these differences at the bbc and justified? if you can't, and if you have a concentration of women at the bottom and men at the top, as we do in this case, then there is a real strong argument to say, that looks a bit like pay determination. that's why the bbc has two address it, because it could be on the wrong side of the law here. it's a publicly funded body, said taxpayers are being told what money is being spent where, but this is a problem

gci’oss spent where, but this is a problem across a lot of industries, isn't it? we can't pretend somehow there are saints in this elsewhere. there are saints in this elsewhere. there are not. it's a problem everywhere, absolutely. the bbc is unusual in the fact it has been required to publish this information. no other employer in any other sector is being asked to do the same thing. although they are going to have to publish their gender pay gap is next year. the average figures. they will not be required to put names and numbers out in the public domain in the way the bbc has. but almost certainly, whichever organisation you go to, whether it is itv or sky, whether it is one of the big financial institutions or high street supermarkets, you will find gender pay gap is and you will almost certainly, i would think, find some pay irregularities. when you actually start to uncover the detail of it. back at the bbc, do you think lord hall can achieve what he says when he talks about it all

being tackled very swiftly? do you think that's possible really? the gender pay gap is closing at a rate that will take a 62 years, nationally, to close at the current rate of progress. we are a bit sceptical about his deadline of three years. having said that, if there is a pay discrimination issue within the bbc, he really does need to address that and address it quickly and he can do that very quickly, there is no reason why he can't sort that out. they will have the information to hand, they will be able to deal with that. but the gender pay gap itself is a complex thing. it has multiple causes and some of those causes are really quite difficult to address. that is why it can take time to deal with, but we say bring it on, let's see if the bbc can lead the way enemy will be applauding them in 2020. thank you. time now for the weather with nick miller. the bbc‘s director general,

lord hall, says he'll go further and faster to tackle the pay gap. he was responding to a letter by high—profile female personalities, who have called on the corporation to "act now". a 20—year—old man has died, after being apprehended by a police officer in an east london shop. he's been been named by his family as rashanjermaine charles. prince william and prince harry have spoken candidly about their relationship with their mother, princess diana, in a documentary marking the twentieth anniversary of her death. now on bbc news, the travel show. coming up on this week's travel show. oh, no, ok!

three o'clock, three o'clock, three. i'm in hong kong to find out how their famous pink dolphins are being affected by the fast pace of development here. we meet one of asia's top chefs to get a new take on traditional cantonese cuisine. we're in northern canada to discover how to use an iceberg to make a cup of tea. i actually know him! and going underground in london, we meet the people who help to keep the trains running all night. this year marks the 20th anniversary of the handover

of hong kong to china. since 1997, the pace of development here has been rapid, as beijing pushes ahead with its transitional "one country, two systems" formula. a plan that will eventually see hong kong merge economically and politically with the communist mainland in 2047. but environmentalists fear that one of hong kong's most iconic creatures may not survive that long. the pink hong kong dolphin was actually a symbol of the handover of hong kong from british back to chinese rule 20 years ago. but now their future is under threat. the dolphins' vivid pink colour isn't caused by pigmentation.

it happens as blood vessels expand and contract as a result of thermo—regulation. it's a system the dolphins use to control their body temperature. the dolphins are meaning good luck in chinese culture and also they go beyond hong kong border to chinese waters, so it's sort of a unity between hong kong and china back in the handover days. so it's sort of a symbol of unification between hong kong and china. they're also a good luck and energetic symbol. unfortunately, you know, their numbers are in decline. so it's not such good luck now. figures from hong kong's fisheries and conservation department show that the numbers of pink dolphins here have crashed, from 188 in 2003 to only 65 in 2015. and although nobody is exactly sure how accurate that figure is, there's no doubt that numbers are falling. i've been coming to hong kong

for around 20 years now and i'm ashamed to say i had no idea there were dolphins in the waters here. but of course you won't find them in victoria harbour where the tourists are. to be in with a chance of seeing the dolphins, you have to leave hong kong island and go west towards the airport. land reclamation, population growth and pollution are all being blamed for destroying the dolphins' habitat. huge new infrastructure projects, like this new bridge and tunnel to macau, may be good for the economy but claim it is playing havoc with the dolphins' natural environment. the hong kong government has announced it will create a new 2,500 hectare marine conservation park in northern lantau waters to help

counter the effects of building another runway at the airport. the conservationists say that the marine park is in the wrong place and won't help the situation. so, when we go out to the sea, we use a long lens to take high—quality photos, as you see, because there is the information we use to identify the dolphin, just like the fingerprints on your hands. like this one, there is a round tip and a big notch. so from this one we can know exactly this individual has been seen, when and where. we need at least 2,000 dolphins to sustain the long—term survival. but in the current situation, no matter how many times we run the simulations, the population is doomed to extinction. so that's a very worrying scenario. what needs to be done? what we are proposing is, protect what is important to the animals first. now, it's notjust about quantity, about how many kilometres square

of habitat is being protected, but also where it is protected. those core areas should be highly prioritised areas to be protected in terms of stopping the development, lowering the fishing effort. basically reducing the pressure on the animals. so, give them a place to survive. well, determined to try and see some pink dolphins, i headed to lantau with an advocacy and ecotourism group called dolphin watch, who have been working to promote marine conservation here for two decades. many of the dead ones that are found every year are juveniles or babies. i'm going to show a dead dolphin. if you're very sensitive, then you may wish to not look. just looks like it's sleeping. so, what could have happened to this dolphin? ok, there's no crisscross scarring, it didn't drown in a net. what are we going to see today?

are we guaranteed to see dolphins? no, no. it's a 97% success rate, and if we don't see any, then people will get to go again free, assuming they have the time here, but that's a pretty rare occasion, because after 20 years of doing this we have a pretty good idea where the dolphins will be, given the wind and rain and time and tides, but they are wild animals so we can't make promises. you'll see lots of garbage, lots of concrete, lots of boats and hopefully lots of dolphins but, you know, i have to lower expectations because some days it just doesn't happen. i really hope we see a dolphin. the conditions are in our favour, it isn't too windy and where we are now in the waters is near the mouth of the river so the sea isn't too salty. this is their usual habitat, this is what dolphins like. for a while, there's nothing,

and then as we head into the western waters of lantau island, we suddenly get lucky. oh, gosh, there's one over there! oh, i missed it. got to be quick. it's a pink one, is he going to come up again? yep. yep. yep- oh, no, no. three o'clock, three o'clock. ok, over there! people love concrete here. where is the tipping point where you say the dolphins are no longer sustainable, if you like? and even if they are, the gene pool is going to be shrinking with fewer and fewer dolphins so, by the time you list something as endangered, it's quite often too late. as a cosmopolitan city,

which is very wealthy, we have the resource to make a balance between development and conservation of the environment. we can do both. we have to strike a balance. we can have all the development that we want but at the same time we also need to build up the capacity for the dolphins to withstand all the threats. we use the dolphin as the mascot, the symbol of the handover so it's our responsibility to ensure that they will be here for a long time, notjust for us, but for the next generation and future generations to come. time now for the last in our series of films looking at the people who keep london moving long after most people have gone to bed. and this time we meet latoya,

who works overnight at one of the capital's busiest tube stations. my name is latoya raymond and i'm a customer service assistant here at the london underground. and i work for the infamous oxford circus station. since the launch of the 24—hour night tube last year, we actually run 2a hours on fridays and saturdays. my role begins the minute you walk through the station and if you need assistance along the way, anywhere, i'm here. that's what we're here for. that's fine, if you want to touch your oyster card. on there? yeah, that's it. there you go, my love. sound result that, for you. and that's done. thanks so much.

you're welcome, take care. at night, this is where oxford circus comes alive. central london comes alive during the night. everyone's coming out, everyone is going out and having a great time, especially on fridays. you finish work, you don't want to just rush home, so they take advantage of the nightlife, they take advantage of the pubs, the fact that we have 24—hour services. people enjoy it and the atmosphere is always amazing. it's great. i am a people person, i've always been a people person. so you are the actual monopoly man! it is fun, it is absolutely fun. so we've done all the 26 pubs. on the monopoly board? yes. they come down the stairs singing. wejoin in! i don't know how you're still standing. take care. along with persons that are going out, having fun,

going to clubs, we have persons who work and these pubs. i actually know him. i'm sorry, i have to run and hug him. now they can just come through and go home. if you can imagine working throughout the night and then having to wait another two hours for the trains to start running, it's not nice. we go out as well, you know, we aren't all about work, work, work. we're a great bunch, we get on. this is a family. where did you go? yeah, there is no more trains for the bakerloo.

at nights, at the moment, we only have five lines that are running. so the problem with that is, most persons, they aren't quite aware of what lines are running and how to get home. so again, this is where knowing the job, knowing the stations and knowing how to help persons. we have all the resources we need to make sure that we can get everyone home. so now that the last bakerloo line has left, it's time for us to shut the gates so no—one else can enter. they can always use the northbound or southbound victoria line or the central line if they need to get home but for tonight, there's no more bakerloo line trains. stay with us, because still to come on this week's show... ..coming up next, we eat out

here in hong kong with one of asia's top chefs. chrysanthemum is not traditional for this dish but it really adds a nice floralness and we got this inspiration from having snake soup in hong kong. and head to the far north of canada to meet the local people who survive some of the harshest winters on earth. the travel show, your essential guide, wherever you're heading. up next, here's another in our series of films to mark canada's 150th birthday this year. and this week, we're off to the far north of the country to meet some of the people who live in the town of qikiqtarjuaq, inside the arctic circle. well, to finish off this week, we're heading back to hong kong,

a melting pot of cantonese and western cultures and an amazing place to visit if you love food. may chow was voted asia's best female chef earlier this year, and she is building a reputation as the driving force behind a new generation of chefs who are specialising in what's being called neo—cantonese cuisine. we were lucky enough to go behind the scenes at her happy paradise restaurant in hong kong to watch her cook one of the most popular dishes. today we're going to cook for you a three yellow wine chicken. so basically it's originally a hong kong dish but at happy paradise we do neo—cantonese food so we're going to do it with more cantonese techniques, having a bit more refined. what we have here is a local breed three yellow chicken. we've already slow—cooked it.

for the breast, we've cooked it at 58 degrees. for the thigh, we've cooked it at 83 degrees and for the feet, just a little garnish, because chinese people did nose to tail first. we're going to do a rice on top with seasonal mushrooms, a little bit of chrysanthemum butter, just to lighten it a little bit, to make it more floral, and it's going to be finished with a shaoxing broth. we're going to put the chicken in. it's already fully cooked, so what we're really doing is reheating it. we're going to start the broth. this broth is shiitake based. you can really smell a lot of shiitake mushrooms in there. we also have shaoxing wine. shaoxing wine is the most commonly used cooking wine for chinese people,

but when you cook it with something like yellow wine chicken, we're quite aggressive with adding the shaoxing wine. we're going to stir—fry the mushrooms. in cantonese terms, it's actually called chicken mushrooms. so that's why we're adding it as well. we're trying to get a bit of colour. then we're going to add, this is really nice, this is the chrysanthemum butter. that's going to add a really nice floralness to the fried rice. we're layering the flavours into the chicken. just a little bit more of that shaoxing wine. so this we're going to put aside for garnish.

just going to chop the chicken. the chicken should be ready. so we're going to take the chicken out. now we'rejust going to ladle the rice on top. now we're going to garnish with a bit of chrysanthemum. it isn't traditional for this dish but it really adds a nice floralness. we got this inspiration from having snake soup in hong kong. the chrysa nthemum also represents chicken feathers.

and then, table—side, we garnish with the soup. so this is our version of yellow wine chicken. refined cantonese food with super comfort levels. well, that's all we've got time for in this edition of the programme. coming up next week, as pakistan prepares to mark 70 years of independence, we go to karachi to get a taste of life in the city. there'sjust so much more to karachi than we know. it has depth, in terms of the people who live here, the cultures that exist, the lifestyles, the architecture, there's so much to see. well, i hope you canjoin us

for that, if you can. don't forget, if you want to join the rest of the travel team on theirjourneys, in real—time, you can sign up to us on our social media feeds. all the details should be on your screen now. but until next time, from me, carmen roberts and the rest of the travel show team here in hong kong, it's goodbye. heady showers continued to affect parts of england and wales this evening, slowly fading as we go into the night. an area of rain in the parts of the midlands as the night goes on. the clearer skies will be in the west where there will be a

few fog patches developing, temperatures the most of us holding the double figures, some of those clearer spots in the west might dip down to single figures in the countryside. east—west split across parts of the uk tomorrow, some outbreaks of rain, and a few brighter ones and sharp showers affecting parts of east anglia and the far south—east of england, a cool breeze coming in, some spots on the coast just into cool breeze coming in, some spots on the coastjust into the mid teens, but in the west with some good sunny spells, a warm day, 20 faulkner 25 celsius in glasgow for example.
