HARDtalk
with Katharine Hamnett
Fashion
designer Katharine Hamnett is interviewed by Sarah Montague on tonight's
BBC News 24 HARDtalk programme.
One
of Britain's best known award-winning designers, Katharine Hamnett
is the most overtly political fashion designer of her generation,
campaigning on issues from nuclear weapons to the war in Iraq.
She's
just been to Mali with Oxfam, and is campaigning against United
States cotton subsidies, which will be discussed at the World Trade
Organisation meeting in Cancun this week.
Having
seen at first hand the poverty in Mali, she is outraged at the subsidies
and wants to persuade the world's rich nations to do more for the
world's poor.
Katharine
Hamnett talks to Sarah Montague on BBC News 24's HARDtalk at 11.30pm
today (Friday 12 September).
All the
BBC's digital services are now available on Freeview,
the new free-to-view digital terrestrial television service, as well
as on satellite and cable.

from BBCi, as well as 11 national BBC radio networks.
