Helen Clark on HARDTalk

  • Russell Brown,

    During last week's brief visit to Britain, Prime Minister Helen Clark was interviewed by the BBC's Sarah Montage for its serious interview slot, HARDTalk. It's on YouTube in three parts, and, thanks to the Patented Public Address Embederator, it is also below.( Update: The videos still won't embed, even with our little fix, so you need to click on each screen grab. Bah.)

    In the first part, Clark ventures little in response to questions on the prospects for a New Zealand republic:

    She seems quite assured discussing goals for sustainability and carbon neutraity. She says "I'm convinced that climate change is a huge and pressing problem.":

    And the final part dwells on the economic and ethical implications of a free trade agreement with China:

    Comments for that last one have been disabled on YouTube ...

    Thoughts?

    On another Utube note, has anyone in NZ noticed "this video is not presently available in your country" notices? They've popped up recently on a number of music videos for songs and albums that (thanks to the dire state of the Australian music industry) haven't been released here yet, and film trailers.

    If that's what passes for "serious interview" on the BBC. Oy... I'm not saying Sarah Montage should have tried to rip Clark's jugular open, but I sure hope the Beeb doesn't feed Gordon Brown and David Cameron that much pap.

    Bollocks. That should've worked -- even without the official embedding code. And here's me thinking Google wasn't Evil ...

    And here's me saving the BBC from having people see a Nike ad on their page.
