05:01
than a nice twang so here we go it is Tuesday I've been out in the garden
13
301150
8050
05:09
because the weather is rather nice now I was asked yesterday if we are going to
14
309200
5940
05:15
see the Sheep so today I decided to do something very technical I actually set
15
315140
6540
05:21
up my camera outside so we could see the sheep in the field but as you can see
16
321680
7670
05:29
the sheep are not there they are there but they are in another field so there
17
329350
6760
05:36
are two fields near my house so there is the field you can see now and there is
18
336110
6450
05:42
another one which is just across to the right but of course my camera can't see
19
342560
8160
05:50
that particular field so this is what I managed to shoot this is what I managed
20
350720
6870
05:57
to film just before my live stream started so that is the view now oh wait
21
357590
8430
06:06
there a minute wait a moment look hello it it looks like the sheep
22
366020
8490
06:14
are coming back I can't believe it there they are Wow I can't believe it so
23
374510
6510
06:21
just as I turn on my camera to show you where the sheep are it looks as if the
24
381020
6390
06:27
sheep are just starting to come back into the field so if you look towards
25
387410
7080
06:34
the right hand of the screen you should see some sheep coming into view when
26
394490
8190
06:42
something comes into view it means it comes into sight it means suddenly it is
27
402680
7620
06:50
visible it is seeable so there you can see the sheep are now coming into the
28
410300
7980
06:58
field they are starting to make their way across the field
29
418280
5550
07:03
so thank goodness my hard work this morning setting up that camera outside
30
423830
6679
07:10
I'm glad that all of that effort has paid off because there they are the
31
430509
5081
07:15
sheep are now starting to come back into the field isn't that nice it's almost as
32
435590
6539
07:22
if they knew that I was doing this because just before I started the
33
442129
5701
07:27
livestream they actually went away would you like to see so this is just before I
34
447830
5640
07:33
started they actually walked away so those are the sheep earlier and these
35
453470
8280
07:41
are the sheep right now they're back oh thank goodness for that
36
461750

6120
11:33
my window so there you can see the view so that is part of the view from my
69
693700
6360
11:40
window you might see some birds flying by as well there are lots of pigeons
70
700060
5510
11:45
flying around in large flocks at the moment so if we are very lucky we might
71
705570
8050
11:53

72
713620
8910
12:02
camera is on they won't come by typical so there is the view yes autumn is
73
722530
8160
12:10
definitely in the air it really does feel as if autumn has arrived as you can
74
730690
5400
12:16
see right now out of the window so we are talking about lots of things I
75
736090
5100
12:21
suppose I suppose I should mention this although I won't say the word don't
76
741190
11220
12:32
worry I won't say it however this is still happening the saga continues the
77
752410
10500
12:42
very long saga which has taken over three years and still we haven't come to
78
762910
8400
12:51
a decision over this particular topic so at the moment there is now a three-day
79
771310
8030
12:59
discussion to work out what will happen next so there is a new deal apparently
80
779340
7200
13:06
concerning this I'm not going to say the word I'm not going to say it however it
81
786540
7630
13:14
still looks as if we might not be leaving the European Union on the 31st
82
794170
5430
13:19
of October however that particular date is still very special because it's my
83
799600
7320
13:26
anniversary here on YouTube and that is the reason why I am here today that's
84
806920
5490
13:32
why I'm doing this everyday during October to celebrate my 13th year
85
812410
7250

mr. duncan from colombia thanks for your live lessons we are talking about
93
862420
6109
14:28
protests today making a protest going on a protest it is something we are going
94
868529
7511
14:36
to talk about today because you may have noticed in the news or the newspapers or
95
876040
7440
14:43
on the internet there are many stories about people who have decided to protest
96
883480
6680
14:50
hong kong is a good example of that there have been protests taking place
97
890160
6450
14:56
for a very long time also in france although having said that i haven't
98
896610
6820
15:03
heard anything about the protests in paris for a long time so are they still
99
903430
6180
15:09
going on are they still happening are the yellow jerseys still protesting in
100
909610
5130
15:14
paris because it would appear that the media in the UK are not reporting it so
101
914740
7050
15:21
is it still going on hello you TAS or Vitesse hello Vitesse i heard that you
102
921790
8760
15:30
don't know who Chris Norman is he was the main singer of the smokey
103
930550
6020
15:36
instrumental group oh yes well I know smokey so they had a lot of hits in the
104
936570
8910
15:45
1970s so yes I have bird of the group smokey although I
105
945480
5560
15:51
didn't realize the lead singer was called Chris Norman yes smokey
106
951040
5460
15:56
I remember smokey they had a lot of what I would call middle-of-the-road music so
107
956500
7440
16:03
music that is popular so it isn't a particular type of music it is
108
963940
5900
16:09
middle-of-the-road I think so yes of course I know who smokey is I was
109
969840
6910
16:16
a young child during the 1970s although I can't think of any of their songs but
110
976750
7080
16:23
I do know the group hello Rahul you are looking nice in your white t-shirt well
111
983830
6480
16:30
today I am actually wearing my happy face so there it is I am actually
112
990310
5880
16:36
wearing my smiley face t-shirt today although you can't see it unfortunately
113
996190
8000
16:44
Francisco who is watching in Italy what's the weather like in Italy is it
114
1004190
4810
16:49
nice there I really hope it is hello to Mohammed hello mr. Duncan nice to see
115
1009000
6630
16:55
you all here today so protesting there are protests taking
116
1015630
5610
17:01
place around the world eric says what does it mean to make a good protest we
117
1021240
7590
17:08
have seen that without violence it is not possible to get the expected results
118
1028830
5700
17:14
well this is something I'll be talking about later when we talk about different
119
1034530
4110
17:18
types of protests so where we talk about protesting we are often angry or
120
1038640
7550
17:26
dissatisfied or maybe there is a certain change that we want to see so when you
121
1046190
6070
17:32
protest a protest can be an individual protest so in fact what person alone can
122
1052260
8520
17:40
protest so maybe I could protest outside my local post office every time they put
123
1060780
7950
17:48
the price of stamps up so every time they increase the price of postage
124
1068730
4710
17:53
stamps I could stand outside the post office and I could protest
125
1073440
5820
17:59
about it so one person can protest or a thousand people or hundred thousand
126
1079260
7170
18:06
people can protest of course there are different types of protest there are
127
1086430
5790
18:12
silent protests like now I am going to have a silent protest at the moment
128
1092220
8070
18:20
excuse me hmm I'm sorry about that my throat is a
129
1100290
14160
18:34
little dry at the moment because I've been outside and at this time of year
130
1114450
4500
18:38
the air is very dry and unfortunately my throat was feeling a little sensitive so
131
1118950
9240
18:48
yes there are many different types of protest there are protests where people
132
1128190
4590
18:52
say nothing or do nothing they just sit maybe they block a road or maybe they
133
1132780
6720
18:59
block a path or maybe they all sit outside a building so people cannot get
134
1139500
5760
19:05
here so we call that type of protest a sit-in sit-in so a sit-in means a
135
1145260
9330
19:14
protest where people just sit or they block a place maybe they sit on the road
136
1154590
6000
19:20
and they stop the traffic from going through or maybe they sit at work and
137
1160590
6750
19:27
they do no work they do nothing to help the company so they sit in this was very
138
1167340
8370
19:35
popular during the 1970s here in the UK there are there were many sit-ins so
139
1175710
6060
19:41
when we say a sit-in a protest where people just sat and did nothing they all
140
1181770
5610
19:47
gathered and did nothing so I suppose another word is strike as
141
1187380
6000
19:53
well so you can go on strike quite often people will strike if they are
142
1193380
5760
19:59
dissatisfied with their employment rights or their salary they will go on
143
1199140
6990
20:06
strike so yes there are many ways of protesting thank you Eric for your
144
1206130
6120
20:12
message the live chat is very busy
145
1212250
4750
20:17
it is raining here I suppose it is the same in other countries but I love the
146
1217000
10650
20:27
color of autumn Thank You Sara that's very kind of you Pedro is here
147
1227650
4920
20:32
hello Pedro nice to see you here today I used to practice Brazilian
148
1232570
7350
20:39
Jujitsu mm-hmm that's interesting jiu-jitsu now that is a type of martial
149
1239920
8400
20:48
art where you use your hands and I think your fists and maybe your feet and
150
1248320
9050
20:57
perhaps sometimes your head I'm not quite sure I have never tried martial
151
1257370
7480
21:04
arts I've never tried karate I've never tried kung-fu I've never tried jiu-jitsu
152
1264850
8490
21:13
I've never tried any of those things to be to be honest with you I've never
153
1273340
4530
21:17
tried them I'm not a very physical person you may have noticed hello to
154
1277870
7350
21:25
Irene it is foggy today I am interested to find out what Pedro is doing with his
155
1285220
8730
21:33
jujitsu I wonder if you've ever done it to another person maybe in self-defense
156
1293950
7500
21:41
if you were having a fight have you ever used your jujitsu so go on strike Rolfie
157
1301450
11040
21:52
asks is go on strike the same as protest yes it is it is just a different type of
158
1312490
7380
21:59
protest so you protest about something you
159
1319870
3870
22:03
disagree with quite often in your job so maybe your employer is not paying you
160
1323740
6540
22:10
enough money or maybe they make some changes maybe your lunch hour has been
161
1330280
7110
22:17
cut to just half an hour so you will go on strike
162
1337390
4350
22:21
you will protest by stopping your work you will refuse to work so during the
163
1341740
9040
22:30
1970s here in the UK there were many strikes quite often involving the energy
164
1350780
7990
22:38
suppliers so the people that supplied the things that kept our electricity
165
1358770
6510
22:45
flowing and by that I mean coal so the the coal miners would go on strike and
166
1365280
7860
22:53
then because of that there would be no electricity so quite often and I
167
1373140
5399
22:58
remember this from the 1970s growing up quite often we would have no electricity
168
1378539
5191
23:03
across the whole country there would be power cuts the electricity would go off
169
1383730
5370
23:09
because there would be no coal to to fuel the power stations so I remember
170
1389100
7650
23:16
that quite quite vividly I remember still sitting in the dark
171
1396750
6360
23:23
with just a candle to light my way around the house because there was no
172
1403110
6059
23:29
electricity can you imagine that so that was the 1970s during the 1970s there
173
1409169
8701
23:37
were many strikes industrial strikes or another way of describing it is
174
1417870
7640
23:45
industrial action so when you take industrial action it means you go on
175
1425510
6190
23:51
strike mr. Duncan can you pronounce two words all and owned all owned owned all
176
1431700
21979
24:13
that's it we are going to do something very unusual now way back in 2013 I did
177
1453710
8740
24:22
a series of video lessons during October and we are now going to go back in time
178
1462450
8160
24:30
to 2013 and this is a very unusual video because in this particular video we are
179
1470610
7980
24:38
going to take a look behind the scenes so now we
180
1478590
8279
24:46
will go back in time to 2013 it was this very day six years ago and as I
181
1486869
10260
24:57
mentioned we are going to take a look behind the scenes let there be light
182
1497129
8841
25:05
there it is I have lots and lots of lights in the studio because lighting is
183
1505970
8100
25:14
very important in videography photography and filmmaking lighting is a
184
1514070
10120
25:24
key element you need lots and lots of lighting and my studio has plenty of
185
1524190
6449
25:30
lighting I have about 10 or 11 lights in this studio some are large ones this is
186
1530639
8100
25:38
quite a big light even though the light seems powerful it isn't using much
187
1538739
7050
25:45
electricity because the bulb in here is a low energy bulb so even though it
188
1545789
5370
25:51
seems to be using lots of energy it isn't it's very kind to the environment
189
1551159
7671
25:59
if there is one element of video making that people tend to get wrong it's the
190
1559039
6850
26:05
sound sound quality in video is just as important as picture quality if you
191
1565889
7260
26:13
can't hear what's going on in the video there the message you're trying to put
192
1573149
5160
26:18
across will be lost so you do need a good quality microphone the camera I am
193
1578309
6480
26:24
recording on at the moment has an internal microphone and that is the
194
1584789
5161
26:29
recording quality that you can hear now it's not that good it sounds like I'm in
195
1589950
4199
26:34
a big empty box but this microphone is a professional external microphone you can
196
1594149
7740
26:41
plug this in to your camera and it will give you a lovely clear rich sound this
197
1601889
7260
26:49
is a directional microphone this means that it will only
198
1609149
4381
26:53
pick up sound that is coming from the front so anything going in here will be
199
1613530
6450
26:59
very clear anything here or at the back will be canceled out so when you are
200
1619980
7050
27:07
recording sound this is the sort of microphone you need and if you are going
201
1627030
5880
27:12
outside you need to protect this so normally you put a large cover over this
202
1632910
6810
27:19
normally the cover is made of plastic and then over the top of the plastic you
203
1639720
4410
27:24
put a fluffy windshield and that stops the wind noise from affecting the
204
1644130
7770
27:31
microphone it's great I love it in professional terms this is called a
205
1651900
7290
27:39
shotgun microphone here is another one of my lights this is a
206
1659190
13140
27:52
professional-grade light you'll see these a lot on television
207
1672330
3510
27:55
normally when interviews are taking place you'll see them dotted around in
208
1675840
6510
28:02
the background lighting the room this is called the dado light and this is a very
209
1682350
6540
28:08
useful light because well first of all they're very small and you can hide them
210
1688890
5070
28:13
away in corners and they are very easy to position incredibly lightweight and
211
1693960
6720
28:20
the other thing is you can dim them very easily so by using this you can adjust
212
1700680
6990
28:27
the light itself the strength of the light can be altered so this dims the
213
1707670
9060
28:36
light right down low so if you want a bright strong light oh my gosh it's
214
1716730
11220
28:47
burning my eyes out if you want to low moody atmospheric light
215
1727950
9860
29:00
the only thing about these is they get incredibly hot sometimes I forget and
216
1740210
5590
29:05
grab hold of it let's just say it burns my hand a little bit I have three of
217
1745800
6300
29:12
these lights in my studio and I normally use them for background lighting now
218
1752100
8040
29:20
this is a very useful bit of kit this is called the monitor I plug this into my
219
1760140
6540
29:26
camera to allow myself to see what the camera is seeing so in other words I am
220
1766680
8250
29:34
seeing what the camera is seeing so I can see myself does that make sense
221
1774930
9210
29:44
I hope so
222
1784140
3260
29:50
I'm ready for my close-up action look at that
223
1790670
6770
29:57
it's a clapperboard you've probably seen these loads and loads of times on movie
224
1797440
7180
30:04
sets and sometimes they use them in TV as well but not as often clapper boards
225
1804620
8790
30:13
are used mainly in the film industry and they serve many purposes they allow the
226
1813410
7770
30:21
editor to see what is being filmed and also when it was filmed and who filmed
227
1821180
9300
30:30
it and some of the technical things at the bottom there but the most important
228
1830480
6720
30:37
thing on set that a clapper board does is that it makes a noise and that allows
229
1837200
9870
30:47
the editor later to match the sound and the picture together so when you're
230
1847070
8760
30:55
recording sound on a film set normally the sound is recorded
231
1855830
4320
31:00
separately from the picture so they use this to add a mark to the film and to
232
1860150
11460
31:11
the recording track so the soundtrack has this sound and the picture has the
233
1871610
7440
31:19
movement so you can match the two together and then you have a
234
1879050
4760
31:23
synchronized picture that means that the sound and the movement will match like
235
1883810
7780
31:31
now can you see and cut
236
1891590
10160
31:46
here it is my most favorite piece of equipment it is of course a camera this
237
1906000
8370
31:54
is my a camera I call it the a camera because this is the camera I tend to use
238
1914370
6090
32:00
for most of my main shots certainly when I'm indoors here in the studio this is
239
1920460
6180
32:06
the camera I normally use I have five cameras in total I have this one I have
240
1926640
6840
32:13
the one that I'm using now to film this over there I also have a DSLR camera and
241
1933480
7200
32:20
I have two other cameras as well so in fact I have well too many cameras some
242
1940680
7320
32:28
people would say I also use my smartphone sometimes for taking still
243
1948000
5790
32:33
pictures because of course the quality now of mobile phone pictures it is very
244
1953790
6360
32:40
high so you can actually nowadays use still pictures from your mobile phone as
245
1960150
6840
32:46
you can see on the front here there is a piece of reflective glass and this
246
1966990
4740
32:51
allows me to use an autocue so sometimes when I'm speaking for a very long time I
247
1971730
8090
32:59
forget the words if Barack Obama can have an autocue so Q mr. Duncan
248
1979820
10979
33:15
and we are back I hope you enjoyed that we went back in time to 2013 didn't I
249
1995190
7260
33:22
look thin there do you think I looked very thin so that that was six years ago
250
2002450
6230
33:28
having said that my studio has changed a lot since then so six years ago I wasn't
251
2008680
8350
33:37
making my live streams so because of the new technology that has come along since
252
2017030
6980
33:44
2013 my whole studio is now completely
253
2024010
3970
33:47
different so there is a lot more equipment in here than there was before
254
2027980
5960
33:53
if you could see my studio now it is full of equipment lights reflectors
255
2033940
8850
34:02
microphones all sorts of strange Gant's gadgets and devices I must say so I hope
256
2042790
8230
34:11
you enjoyed that it may have been a little bit boring for some people but I
257
2051020
4109
34:15
hope not sometimes it's nice to take a look
258
2055129
3831
34:18
behind the scenes it is interesting to see how things are done what are the
259
2058960
8740
34:27
Sheep doing let's have a look outside the sheep are still there yes there they
260
2067700
6300
34:34
are definitely so the sheep are in the field
261
2074000
4260
34:38
at the back of the house they have returned they wondered off earlier but
262
2078260
4590
34:42
they're back now so say her big hello to the Sheep back to the live chat
263
2082850
7289
34:50

264
2090139
8511

4110
35:28

4110
35:32
towba lessons again and again thank you very much for that I hope you enjoyed it
270
2132830
6570
35:39
mr. Duncan can we call you a geek of Technology well I must be honest I am a
271
2139400
6959
35:46
big fan of technology I love gadgets I love devices I love things that are
272
2146359
7071
35:53
electronic so I'm always very interested in those sorts of things
273
2153430
5189
35:58
computers I love computers I love playing around with my computer I
274
2158619
6281
36:04
love experimenting with all of my devices and the things that I have here
275
2164900
5790
36:10
in my studio the only sad thing is at the end of that video that you just
276
2170690
5850
36:16
watched that big camera is no more sadly my lovely big professional camera
277
2176540
8940
36:25
died about four years ago unfortunately one day it suddenly stopped working so I
278
2185480
10170
36:35
tried to get it fixed but I was told that it would cost as much as a new
279
2195650
6660
36:42
camera to get it fixed and we are talking thousands of pounds so sadly my
280
2202310
7140
36:49
lovely big camera that you saw in that video is no more I don't have it anymore
281
2209450
4740
36:54
because it has broken sadly I I still remember how upset and devastated I felt
282
2214190
8790
37:02
when it happened yes I love watching behind the scenes videos says Ramsey
283
2222980
8670
37:11
Nouah that's okay I'm glad to hear it today we are talking about this
284
2231650
5160
37:16
particular topic this subject that you might hear a lot of people talking about
285
2236810
6799
37:23
so when we talk about protests we mean a disagreement maybe something that you
286
2243609
6401
37:30
disagree with something that has happened something that a person has
287
2250010
4980
37:34
done or maybe a change that is about to take place and you disagree with it
288
2254990
7050
37:42
so you want to protest you will go on a protest so protest is a disagreement you
289
2262040
9780
37:51
show your disagreement by doing something to protest is an action you
290
2271820
7370
37:59
protest another way of describing it of course is demonstrate so you demonstrate
291
2279190
10390
38:09
you go on a demonstration so when you demonstrate it means you go into the
292
2289580
6300
38:15
street or maybe you march through a certain area you walk maybe with a group
293
2295880
6870
38:22
of people you demonstrate so in this respect you are showing your outrage you
294
2302750
7380
38:30
are showing your anger so to demonstrate is to show so you show something you
295
2310130
8330
38:38
demonstrate so in that respect you are showing your anger or your disagreement
296
2318460
7630
38:46
with something you demonstrate so we might say that these words are very
297
2326090
6300
38:52
similar you protest you demonstrate you go on a demonstration you protest I
298
2332390
10670
39:03
suppose this is a type of protest so when you march to march is to walk in a
299
2343060
9610
39:12
steady line or in an organized way so if you march quite often it means you walk
300
2352670
8070
39:20
in a group and normally an organized group so March a protest can also be
301
2360740
8940
39:29
described as a march you go on a march you've protest so you protest you go on
302
2369680
12000
39:41
a march you march
303
2381680
5510
39:47
a group of people can also be described as rally so this can actually be used as
304
2387780
7800
39:55
both a noun and verb so rally means to gather together if you gather in a group
305
2395580
7950
40:03
if you gather for some sort of protest or conference you will have a rally
306
2403530
8240
40:11
quite often at a rally there will be people giving speeches so the group will
307
2411770
8080
40:19
watch and then quite often you will see people also giving speeches at a rally
308
2419850
6660
40:26
in politics you will often have a rally so rally is a group a group of people
309
2426510
8670
40:35
that come together for a particular reason quite often to protest or to meet
310
2435180
5360
40:40
because you have similar interests a rally you can have a car rally so maybe
311
2440540
7570
40:48
people come together who have a common interest in cars rally I like that word
312
2448110
8120
40:56
another one and this is one I mentioned earlier click it to pick it if you pick
313
2456230
7420
41:03
it it means you stay in one place maybe you stand in a group perhaps outside a
314
2463650
7140
41:10
factory and of course you will often stop people from going in so a picket is
315
2470790
7200
41:17
often a group of people and quite often it is a type of protest that is
316
2477990
5700
41:23
organized by a union so if a union a group of people who look out for each
317
2483690
7500
41:31
other's interests gets together they will pick it so during the 1970s as I
318
2491190
7470
41:38
mentioned earlier I remember there were many strikes many people would pick it
319
2498660
6200
41:44
outside factories and coal mines so yes that is a word I know very well
320
2504860
10180
41:55
to protest is to stand up if you stand up you stand up for what you believe in
321
2515040
8980
42:04
you stand up for what you believe is correct or fair maybe you stand up
322
2524020
7760
42:11
against something so to stand up is to make your voice heard you stand up you
323
2531780
8290
42:20
protest so this is another way of describing the action of going on a
324
2540070
6930
42:27
protest you stand up it is a very obvious way of making your voice heard
325
2547000
7760
42:34
you stand up stand up for your rights you stand up for your freedom to stand
326
2554760
8440
42:43
up so it looks like a very simple sentence but this actually has a very
327
2563200
5820
42:49
heavy and serious meaning when people protest we will often say that they take
328
2569020
9870
42:58
to the streets so quite often if you take to the streets
329
2578890
4650
43:03
it means you will go on a protest so people will come out of their houses
330
2583540
6620
43:10
maybe they feel strongly about something a certain issue and they will take to
331
2590160
6820
43:16
the streets now before anyone says mr. Duncan that normally means that violence
332
2596980
9870
43:26
will take place so yes a violent protest can actually be described as this as
333
2606850
6210
43:33
well so if people take to the streets quite often it means they are doing
334
2613060
4950
43:38
something angrily or in an angry way so you take to the streets you go on a
335
2618010
7980
43:45
protest and quite often this will mean that the protest is an angry protest the
336
2625990
7830
43:53
people will take to the streets they have had enough they are a little
337
2633820
7830
44:01
annoyed when you protest you take a stand you
338
2641650
9350
44:11
take a stand so to take a stand means you are making yourself heard and quite
339
2651000
8460
44:19
often seen as well so to take a stand is to take a certain position quite often
340
2659460
7080
44:26
politically so to take a stand you stand up for something you believe in you take
341
2666540
6660
44:33
a stand sometimes we say make a stand so you might make a stand or take a stand
342
2673200
8630
44:41
you stand up against something something you believe is right or wrong Express I
343
2681830
11980
44:53
suppose the best word to describe the form of demonstration or demonstrating
344
2693810
9750
45:03
you are expressing your feelings so to express is to show how you feel so maybe
345
2703560
8040
45:11
you express yourself by shouting or maybe you make some sort of noise
346
2711600
7580
45:19
perhaps with your car so quite often people will get in their cars and they
347
2719180
5260
45:24
will protest in their vehicles maybe they will be beep beep beep sound their
348
2724440
8460
45:32
horns so there are many ways to express yourself if you are protesting against
349
2732900
6660
45:39
something to demonstrate you express your feelings you express your views you
350
2739560
11250
45:50
express how you feel and I suppose this is also another way you rise or rage
351
2750810
11060
46:01
against something so if you rise or rage it means you come out so maybe you take
352
2761870
9340
46:11
to the streets you come out you go to a certain place and you will show your
353
2771210
6899
46:18
or disappointment or your disagreement you will rise or you will rage against
354
2778109
7980
46:26
something and of course the word that I used earlier rally so you can also rally
355
2786089
6480
46:32
against something as well so these two words are quite strong words so when you
356
2792569
7381
46:39
rise then it means you appear you appear and you begin your protest you rise up
357
2799950
8250
46:48
and of course quite often people might be angry you show your rage you rise
358
2808200
7319
46:55
against you rage against there was a group in the 1980s called Rage Against
359
2815519
8431
47:03
the Machine if you are a fan of the 1980s I'm sure you will know about that
360
2823950
7700
47:11
thank you very much for your lovely messages today yes I know this is a big
361
2831650
4179
47:15
subject but I think it's one that is good to talk about because it has become
362
2835829
6091
47:21
a bit of a buzzword over these past few years I suppose it all started way back
363
2841920
6839
47:28
in 2011 during the Arab uprising or the Arab Spring so that's really when
364
2848759
7891
47:36
protesting started to take hold across well the Middle East and now the world
365
2856650
8419
47:45
so a lot of people are unhappy about lots of things and to show how unhappy
366
2865069
6520
47:51
they are they will stage a protest so if you stage a protest
367
2871589
8280
47:59
it means you carry out or you organize so to stage something means to organize
368
2879869
9541
48:09
or arrange so you staged a protest you actually go out and do it quite often
369
2889410
9149
48:18
there will be a lot of organizing maybe this is a good point to mention social
370
2898559
6631
48:25
media because social media has been blamed
371
2905190
5480
48:30
and also credited at the same time for encouraging people to stage a protest in
372
2910670
7710
48:38
certain countries social media is sometimes blocked so there are countries
373
2918380
5160
48:43
around the world that will sometimes block social media or maybe any form of
374
2923540
7170
48:50
communication such as whatsapp can also be blocked so to stage a protest means
375
2930710
6960
48:57
to go out and raise your voice about something to show that you are unhappy
376
2937670
6600
49:04
about a certain thing now here's an interesting word and it's one I want to
377
2944270
6840
49:11
introduce March on mass now this is an interesting not only an interesting word
378
2951110
10710
49:21
but also an interesting phrase as well so you march on mass you march in a
379
2961820
7860
49:29
large group so a large demonstration a large protest we can say that the people
380
2969680
5790
49:35
march on mass which comes from the French language so in a large group so a
381
2975470
9660
49:45
large group of people marching together we can say that they march on mass and
382
2985130
7230
49:52
that is French in a large group a large group of people will congregate so if a
383
2992360
11640
50:04
group of people get together we congregate we get together so we mess oh
384
3004000
10080
50:14
I like that one now there is a word that has quite a few meanings so if you mess
385
3014080
6210
50:20
as a verb it means you gather you gather together you congregate so if you
386
3020290
8790
50:29
congregate it means you gather together you get together you form a group you
387
3029080
7260
50:36
might talk about people that go to church on Sunday they will congregate
388
3036340
6710
50:43
they are the people who gather together on Sunday to pray so
389
3043050
6289
50:49
they congregate and we can name that group as a congregation so when we say
390
3049339
6051
50:55
congregation it means they have congregated so they congregate the group
391
3055390
8380
51:03
of people are a congregation and also you can gather or group so these are
392
3063770
12390
51:16
actually two separate words you gather you group you gather together you group
393
3076160
8640
51:24
together so both of these words can show the formation of a crowd or a group of
394
3084800
7470
51:32
people so gather you bring something together you bring people together group
395
3092270
6380
51:38
well this can be used as a noun and a verb so the people who are together are
396
3098650
7959
51:46
the group but also the formation of the group as a verb is group so you will
397
3106609
9931
51:56
gather you will group I suppose another word that I haven't written down is a
398
3116540
7769
52:04
mess so you can amass as well which is to gather together lots of people on the
399
3124309
8881
52:13
live stream now wanting to say hello pal Mira says I am a bad protestor I do not
400
3133190
7200
52:20
like it well some people feel strongly now from
401
3140390
4290
52:24
my own opinion I know I shouldn't give my opinion but I don't see the problem
402
3144680
5220
52:29
with protesting because sometimes you have to sometimes you have no other
403
3149900
6620
52:36
resort so quite often protesting is the last resort you have tried everything
404
3156520
8529
52:45
else you have tried to speak to people you've tried to get answers you've tried
405
3165049
6991
52:52
to make changes so quite often I think going on a protest
406
3172040
6450
52:58
is the last resort it is the last thing that you can do you have no other choice
407
3178490
7190
53:05
no other options but to protest
408
3185680
6630
53:13
Cathy Yanni hello Cathy Arne nice to see you here on the live chat today so when
409
3193390
6790
53:20
you go on a March you protest you stand up for what you believe in
410
3200180
5580
53:25
there are many protests taking place around the world have you ever been on a
411
3205760
5370
53:31
protest is there something that you have felt so strongly about that you have
412
3211130
6600
53:37
actually gone out into the street and protested about so is there something
413
3217730
5820
53:43
you have ever protested palmyra says what about Gandhism well I suppose
414
3223550
7140
53:50
Gandhism is very similar to passive protesting so a person who is passive in
415
3230690
7320
53:58
their protest is a person who says nothing and does nothing and of course
416
3238010
5580
54:03
there are many other ways of protesting besides walking or marching or shouting
417
3243590
6600
54:10
or screaming or being silent you can also have hunger protests as well so
418
3250190
7950
54:18
maybe a person who feels strongly about something will actually stop eating food
419
3258140
4890
54:23
as a protest so they will go on hunger strike so when we talk about hunger
420
3263030
7680
54:30
strike it means a person who a person who goes on strike and to do that they
421
3270710
9480
54:40
refuse to eat mr. Duncan why don't you come back to the first studio that one
422
3280190
7080
54:47
in front of the computer well unfortunately the computer that I have
423
3287270
6690
54:53
now and all of the equipment is very noisy so the reason why I can't sit in
424
3293960
6120
55:00
front of my computer anymore when I do the live streams is because of the noise
425
3300080
4740
55:04
so my computer system and all the other things that I use to keep everything
426
3304820
5850
55:10
cool it is very noisy so that's the reason
427
3310670
3960
55:14
why I don't sit in front of my computer anymore during the live streams hello to
428
3314630
8970
55:23
Ibrahim hello mr. Duncan and everyone else I am
429
3323600
3870
55:27
too late yes I will be going soon we have been talking about an interesting
430
3327470
6360
55:33
subject today we've been talking about going on a protest or standing up for
431
3333830
6870
55:40
something you believe in maybe something you think is right or wrong
432
3340700
4500
55:45
or maybe a change that you feel has to happen so quite often you will see
433
3345200
5520
55:50
people with a protest sign something they will hold up as a way of getting
434
3350720
7980
55:58
their message across so quite often they will shout or they will call maybe a
435
3358700
5580
56:04
phrase or a slogan and also quite often you will see protest signs something a
436
3364280
8550
56:12
person will hold up there are many ways of describing a protest I did show you
437
3372830
7320
56:20
the words so these are the basic words that we talked about or mention when we
438
3380150
6360
56:26
talk about going on a protest so you protest demonstrate rally picket march
439
3386510
9800
56:36
stand against and there is another word that I will show you on the screen right
440
3396310
8500
56:44
now so this word has a slightly different meaning when we talk about
441
3404810
4670
56:49
Protestant this is a very different thing altogether so this relates to a
442
3409480
6700
56:56
religious divide between those who follow the Catholic Church and those who
443
3416180
6300
57:02
don't this of course occurred after the
444
3422480
3180
57:05
Reformation so that is one word that does relate to protesting but in a quite
445
3425660
9630
57:15
different way hello to the live chat Oh lots of people are talking about this
446
3435290
7319
57:22
now
447
3442609
2271
57:25
thank you very much for your lovely messages protesting the government
448
3445780
4990
57:30
always ends in jail well maybe for some people so you may have heard that here
449
3450770
7620
57:38
in the UK there have been lots of protests taking place in London for
450
3458390
4020
57:42
example and there have been a lot of arrests so people have literally been
451
3462410
7170
57:49
taken off the streets by the police for protesting but I suppose in some ways it
452
3469580
6480
57:56
isn't the protest but maybe the type of protest so I know that sometimes when
453
3476060
7770
58:03
you have a protest you might feel strongly about a certain
454
3483830
3870
58:07
subject or issue however there might be another group who feel the opposite way
455
3487700
5130
58:12
so sometimes you can have two protests occurring at the same time so one group
456
3492830
8030
58:20
feels one way and the other group feels the other way and they sometimes clash
457
3500860
7780
58:28
and when they clash they fight and when they fight there is violence
458
3508640
6720
58:35
so sometimes protests can become violent or aggressive so yes but as far as I am
459
3515360
9660
58:45
concerned quite often protesting is a good thing
460
3525020
4680
58:49
I was asked earlier mr. Duncan have you ever protested ah I see now I remember
461
3529700
7560
58:57
many years ago I went to London I went on something called a pride march and it
462
3537260
5160
59:02
was the first time I'd ever done it would you like to see a photograph now
463
3542420
4230
59:06
I'm only going to put this on the screen quickly because I'm sure some people
464
3546650
3390
59:10
will complain about this so many years ago in my youth when I was young and
465
3550040
6780
59:16
foolish I went on a march in London called a pride march and there I am
466
3556820
9680
59:26
there I am on a pride march many many years ago that is around about 26 maybe
467
3566500
9370
59:35
27 years ago when the world was a very different
468
3575870
4209
59:40
place so even I have protested sometimes I've protested not very often
469
3580079
8040
59:48
though in fact I think that was the last time I did it about 28 years ago so I've
470
3588119
5911
59:54
only protested once and that was way back in I think it was around about 2000
471
3594030
7620
60:01
oh sorry 1993 or 1994 quite a long time ago in fact hello to Magda hello also -

3633859
10421
60:44
with this on the front so you can see even 28 years ago I was a very big fan
477
3644280
8130
60:52
of this particular brand 28 years ago Kathy Anna in Brazil we have had many
478
3652410
7620
61:00
protests about the bolson ro government yes I believe there are people who are
479
3660030
7319
61:07
not very happy with the state of things at the moment in Brazil also I believe
480
3667349
10291
61:17
in Spain and also Hong Kong where else Lebanon I think there have been big
481
3677640
8219
61:25
protests in Lebanon so many around the world and of course here in London there
482
3685859
6391
61:32
have been many protests recently taking place arm it says a pride march how can
483
3692250
7410
61:39
you do that how can I very easily actually I just walk down the road very
484
3699660
6240
61:45
easily Thank You Palmyra thank you also to patch you who joined
485
3705900
6360
61:52
eight today yes of course Pedro yes it was an LGBT protest but way
486
3712260
8790
62:01
before way before the modern times of protesting so way back in the early
487
3721050
7430
62:08
1990s we were still suffering the country was still suffering from all
488
3728480
7600
62:16
sorts of things so we were coming out of the end of a very harsh government here
489
3736080
7020
62:23
in the UK it's very interesting there are many countries in the Middle East
490
3743100
5310
62:28
and Africa that are protecting Sudan and Lebanon because of their rights I think
491
3748410
8490
62:36
so well this is something that happens quite often when there is a problem in
492
3756900
4620
62:41
one country quite often you will find other countries coming to their aid or
493
3761520
5250
62:46
maybe coming to their defense so I don't think that's unusual I think that
494
3766770
5010
62:51
happens quite often in fact hello lo Tran
495
3771780
