Description

Report by Tracey Titterington on a demonstration by anti-whaling campaigners coinciding with the annual conference of the International Whaling Commission in Glasgow. The commission is under renewed pressure from member countries Japan, Norway and Iceland to lift the ban on whale hunting. They say whale stocks have recovered since the ban was introduced in 1982, a claim refuted by environmentalists. Includes speeches/interviews by/with Tony Banks MP; David Bellamy, environmentalist; Alan Thornton, Environmental Investigation Agency; vox pop with protesters. Broadcast on Radio Clyde.
