another form of natural energy here in greece and a perfect way to relax after a long day sightseeing. i'll let him tell you more about it and we'll see you next time. i'm in the town of aidipsos in greece, and i was a little bit worried about this because i thought the travel show had set me up because that water looks freezing cold. but i've been told that these are hot springs which have been here for thousands of years. they've been visited by roman emperors, hollywood superstars and now an east london geezer. savage. oh, oh, oh, bad. this isjust gorgeous. now, there's a lot of history to these pools because legend has it that goddess athena created these springs for her favourite hero, hercules, so he could come here and kick back and heal himself after his herculean tasks.
are hot springs which have been here for thousands of years. they've been visited by roman emperors, hollywood superstars and now an east london geezer. savage. oh, oh, oh, bad. this isjust gorgeous. now, there's a lot of history to these pools because legend has it that goddess athena created these springs for her favourite hero, hercules, so he could come here and kick back and heal himself after his herculean tasks. i think it's quite fitting for someone like me. now, they say that the minerals in these baths have got healing properties, but the best thing is they're free. let's see what this one's like. this one's super hot.
earning him a life sentence, only the parole board can decide whether he can be released from prison. so, the prison parole hearing took place at hmp wood hill. that is where charles bronson was with the panel and his lawyer but we were able to watch it from the royal courts of justice and we heard from the prison 0fficer responsible for charles bronson and he said while he was no longer violent she did not think he would be able to cope with life outside prison and most intriguingly we heard from bronson himself and he started by telling the panel that he had done more porridge than goldilocks and the three bears. at times the hearing was punctuated by laughter, afterjust over an hour bronson said he was bored and when talking about taking a prison governor hostage he said there is nothing like wrapping a governor up like a christmas turkey, heened by saying in his gravelly voice give me a chance, a break, to prove to you people that i'm just a normal geezer, wanting to get on with his
boring branch meetings and boring structures that we've had are not the way forward, reading out the minutes and all the rest... speaking as an old geezer, i sympathise with the difficulties. but also, speaking as somebody who looks at britain today, i see that the clear majority of young people, for example, voted remain and still wish britain was inside the european union. they may look at you, one of the most influential prominent union leaders in the country, who still today says, "i have no regrets about supporting brexit. "i do not want to see britain ever talk about returning to the eu," and young people think you're out of touch with the way they feel. well, i may be out of touch with their views to some extent, they may be out of touch with why some people on the left oppose the european union... sorry to interrupt, because we haven't got that much time, but if a young person says to you today, "mick, even now, "how can you say it was right to support brexit when we see "a 4% cut in gdp as a direct result of brexit?" we see inflation, partly a result

back to what you see... i don't want to go back. ..as a golden age, you couldn't, and i'll tell you why you couldn't, because trade union membership in the �*70s was roughly at 75—80%. today it's at roughly a quarter, 25%. you know how many people under the age of 25... i don't want to go back. ..are actually in unions? 496. and that's a challenge for us. it's more than a challenge, it's a catastrophe. well, it's a challenge for us in the sense that we've left vast areas of the economy unorganised. and what i tell the tuc and anyone else that will listen, and when we go out on the road and do road shows, enough is enough and the people's assembly, thousands of young people come out and they're asking us, "how do we organise in these new forms of work?" and we've got to find a way, as trade unionists, and old geezers like me have got to change the means and the ways through which we organise. i recognise that, and i know that boring branch meetings and boring structures that we've had are not the way forward, reading out the minutes and all the rest... speaking as an old geezer, i sympathise with the difficulties. but also, speaking as somebody who looks at britain today, i see that the clear majority of young people, for example,
