one of my favorites, during the laurent exhibition, one of my favorite moments is one suzy stopped in her tracks. she said, this is it, this is what is true of any great artist or any great designer. when they do something, it can be shocking and avant-garde, but years later, we stand and look at it and believe it has always existed. i think that this is true of jean paul gaultier's work. i know that have been friends for a very long time. it is my honor to introduce both suzy menkes, fashion editor of the international herald tribune, and mr. jean paul gaultier. [applause] >> the love seat. [laughter] i just want to know, can you hear me? please shout loudly if you cannot. [laughter] yes or no, you can hear? >> somebody said no. >> mic people, can i be heard? should i start? ok, good. so before i introduced one of the funniest, wittiest, most amusing and funkiest designers that i know, i would like to start with something a little bit more serious. you know, in fashion, the reason that people laughed seem obvious when you see the exhibition of all it's incredible glory and excitement

suzie is here to pick up her uniform to work as a volunteer. >> to be involved in something so huge and so old. >> but with two weeks to go, how much excitement is there outside this stadium right across the u.k.? "bbc news" commissioned a survey to get the opinions of 2,000 people. only 36% of them said they were more excited about the games now than they were at the start of the year. despite the huge crowds that turned out to see the olympic flame, including here. 58% of people we asked said the torch relay had not made them anymore interested in the olympics. >> i couldn't tell you what day it starts. i honestly couldn't. >> and although proudly displaying its rings, across the u.k., 67% of people thought the games would not benefit their local area. but there were some positives for the organizers. 55% felt the olympics would be good value and just over half that the games would not be a waste of taxpayer money. john, "bbc news." >> this is gmt from "bbc world news" with me. these are the headlines. the united nations are trying to get a service to hamah where activists say 200 peo
