Why are Hollywood Actresses Paid Less than Men?
Why are Hollywood actresses paid less than men? Sweden’s troll factory; and the art of listening – why it matters to our relationships.
There has been a steady stream of top Hollywood actresses who have complained that they have been paid less than their male co-stars. Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence and Natalie Portman have all pointed out the disparity. So why in the 21st Century is this still the case? Charlotte McDonald reports.
We investigate a far right website in Sweden that has been secretly recording phone calls with journalists and academics and then posting heavily-edited
versions of the conversations online. The man behind it says he is trying to broaden the debate about immigration. But the site’s targets say their words are being distorted and they feel intimidated.
And how does listening differ from hearing? How important is the art of listening to human relationships and how can we develop that skill? Datshiane Navanayagam reports.
