Subject: BBC World Service Insight on EMF

Hello all, - and congratulations to Roger Coghill and his cooperators,

last night I got a big surprise. Norwegian all-day-news-channel radio
switches over to BBC World Service at night - and suddenly I heard Roger
Coghills name mentioned and EMR ... (BBC World Service, Insight at 22
hours GMT, 2.12.98)

They had a over 10 minutes long bit on EMR - focussing on mobile phones.
Starting with a finnish angle, where the number of mobile phones is just
about to exceed the number of corded telephones. So they started by
interviewing a woman who was ill with ES; then cut in a good bit with
Roger Coghill (who did a good job). Then they went on to Nokia (finnish
of course) - where some public relations person for this subject (oddly
enough obviously english of origin and language) said his bit about it
being perfectly harmless - but he included that standards so far only
are about the thermal part of the radiation.

Roger Coghill was allowed to come back, again good. A finnish researcher
from some official institute said the standard official response about
nothing found so far etc...
The Nokia person was asked whether he thought that there was a chance
that in a couple of years it would be found that the radiation in fact
was harmful - and his answer was evasive.
Some consumers were asked and gave the normal non-informed answers.

Perhaps it is possible to get the whole thing tanscribed from the BBC.

It was a good program, serious in tone, balanced, good reporter.

with warm greetings
Ingrid High
