More or Less · Species in Decline? · 11 Oct 2014 podcast

What do you think the 52% figure tells us then? voice-verified

So the figure probably isn't as clear-cut as the headlines or the press releases from the WWF and the Zoological Society of London suggest. voice-verified

But Steve Buckland pointed out to me that to caveat the figure in lots of detail would have obscured the message that the WWF and the Zoological Society were trying to get across, namely that man is having a serious impact on wildlife. voice-verified

But as climate change scientists have found in the past, trying to exaggerate your message, even if you believe in the cause, can backfire and can make people more sceptical about future claims. voice-verified

That's all for this week. voice-verified

Thank you very much for listening. voice-verified

More or Less · WS MoreOrLess: Will Berlin see a sub-two-hour marathon? · 6 Oct 2014 podcast

Hello, I'm Wesley Stevenson and you're listening to More or Less on the BBC World Service. voice-verified

And Ben Carter here has been trying to run a kilometre in two minutes and 54 seconds because that was the speed that Kenyan Dennis Komoto ran each kilometre when he won the Berlin Marathon and broke the men's world record at the end of September. voice-verified

Now, we're in Regent's Park in London, which is a beautiful setting. voice-verified

But how did you do, Ben? voice-verified

I think we'd better go back to the studio. voice-verified

We're back in the studio and Ben has finally caught his breath. voice-verified

Don't worry, Ben. voice-verified

I won't make you run again. voice-verified

But to a man who really can run. voice-verified

In Berlin last Sunday, Kenyan runner Dennis Komoto set a new world record for the men's marathon. voice-verified
