this dramatic decision by goldsmiths university of london. it will probably horrify students everywhere to hear this because it could be the shape of things to come. goldsmith university has decided to ban beef burgers and the reason they give for that is beef is one of the most things that produces carbon into the atmosphere and so therefore it is environmentally friendly to ban people eating beef. the college board and says it's impossible to ignore a call for action which they say comes ignore a call for action which they say comes from students who feel passionately about the environment. if you're going to do this anyway, i think goldsmiths has a reputation for being quite cutting—edge and quite politically active so i think this possibly would go down better with goldsmith students then perhaps in other areas stop and they can just leave the campus and get a burger somewhere else!” just leave the campus and get a burger somewhere else! i do think there is something in this, they are doing it because they want to become carbon neutral by

of the potential for a wide—scale blackout for years. and the metro leads on a university banning the sale of burgers on campus to help tackle global warming. goldsmiths, university of londonnteresting front page, isn't it? steph, you were having a good look at the front page of the ft? this was a story that came out yesterday that's been picked up by the papers, facial recognition stop either the cameras that can basically recognise your face and see whether your... collect data on you and see how often you come to an area. king's cross in london is apparently using facial recognition and canary apparently using facial recognition and ca nary wharf apparently using facial recognition and canary wharf is considering following this. there's been a bit ofa following this. there's been a bit of a who ha about whether this is right or not, because it's obviously very big brother. watford? it says the cameras are for public security but it's not confirmed how long they keep the information for and what they use it for —— what for? it's got a lot of people talking about whether it's legally right. if you're someone that goes to that area, you're someone that goes to that area ,

of. let's handed over to katie for the metro. this is a massive move. goldsmith university and the university of london— carbon neutral. so they aren't selling beef on campus. i think it's a fairly popular action with goldsmith students. they tend to be pretty creative, liberal, leftist types. they get various protests, but i think, you keep hearing people talk about this kind of thing. there is often too little discussion of what becoming carbon neutral actually means for society. like cutting down on me, reducing the number of flights, you know, if it was only cups and stores... so it's good to see action on this campus —— straws. i think it's good to see them putting the agenda into practice. yes, good. thank you for being with us. the plaza. —— a pleasure. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you to my guests this evening, jessica elgot and katy balls. we'll have someth

now is dr sarah cefai, a lecturer in gender, sexuality and cultural studies at goldsmith‘s university of londonquite different issues, the advertisement for philadelphia suggested that men parenting is funny, so the source of the humour in the entertainment in the advertisement is men looking after babies and that is accented by the reference to mothering in the advert, both in the beginning and at the end. at the end, one of the male character says to the other, don't tell mum. positioning mothering as responsible for child care and also quite boring and punitive we might think that there may be issues around cultural appropriation given that the bagels with cream cheese arrive on his sushi train and in relation to the volkswagen, we see quite a different issue or the female characters treated as quite passive and she is associated with passivity in two ways she is looking after the baby and she is passive to the car as a drives by and purportedly she is passive in relation to its emissions. so it is her association with femininity and nature that let's the viewer know that this is one that do

october 31. joining me now is professor tim bale, a professor of european politics at queen mary university of london the state of the talks between the uk and the eu? increasingly looking like all roads lead to us crashing out of the eu without a deal. there is a reluctance, i think on the eu side, understandably, to reopen the withdrawal agreement, that seems to be the price that borisjohnson‘s government is demanding if they are to undertake any fresh talks. it is stalemate. what room for negotiation might there be, because i was hearing a suggestion from the polish government that perhaps the backstop could be limited to five years, say. what wriggle room do you see there being? very difficult, on that front, because the whole point of the backstop is an insurance policy, and anyone familiar with taking out and anyone familiar with taking out an insurance policy on their home would know that they would not want to put a time limit on it. it's very difficult to imagine the eu doing that. unless, borisjohnson‘s government would allow them to do that not legally but through a political declaration,

a university is banning the sale of burgers to try to fight global warming. goldsmiths, which is part of the university of londonmiths student union president, was asked on the today programme whether a university should be imposing lifestyle choices on its students. of course its reducing choice. news outlets like guido fawkes, right—wing sensationalists out there saying left wing loonies ban hamburgers but that's missing the point i think. stopping the sale of beef was a symbolic gesture. this thing came out of the ipcc report last october, we have 12 years to combat the climate emergency, it's not something small, it is a catastrophe that we have on our hands if we don't intervene. what you're saying is you admit banning beef burgers is tokenistic but it's important to show the direction of travel, show willingness that you acknowledge there is a problem. i wouldn't say it was tokenistic, i would say we are taking responsibility for our share of carbon emissions but as well as preventing the sale of beef we've moved our endowment fund, £2.5 million to an ethical fund, that won't be involved in the production
