Think this is the A 680 but in the meantime it's between one and. If you know the public and you conclude it's a $161.00. Radio . Please. Fine and healthy. Because the. Deadline is fast approaching. OK while I'm drawing some screen a little bit nicer things up a little bit for us after a trench will damper over the weekend and on Friday morning I was asking should we put in young people behind bars we had a really fascinating conversation didn't weigh about young people and crime and how we punish or rehabilitate and why we put the emphasis we're going to speak to Amber before half 10 this morning he was a former Manchester gang member who now works with young people to get themselves back on the straight and narrow incredible person with an amazing story to tell we'll do that before hearts and this morning firstly it's just a month to go until the 29th of August when the P.P.I. Complaints deadline a Rives the worst P.P.I. It's been plaguing us in it for years now I've been both of that hounded bombarded with Coles asking us to cleanse or the Financial Conduct of Thora he is now urging cost of us to jog their memories back to the ninety's the 2000 where they might have bought products that were missed sold with P.P.I. At the same time financial experts sorry about this on the campaign for the F.C.A. Sara good morning good morning sir equity sorry I didn't get that word is there must be so in theory it's a little guidance to most things. Sarah what is likely to qualify people for P.P.I. At this point if they haven't already got themselves briefed. Well if you think you were sold P.P.I. And that 64000000 policies was sold from as you said in 1902000 on which I mean many people many of these policies were mis sold and that's because people weren't able to claim on the maybe they were self employed will they already had an illness a condition that meant that they couldn't then claim on a P.P.I. . Policy if they were able to work in some cases they would sell these policies without them realising in other cases the bank or credit card provider and a high level of commission and didn't tell the person about it there are basically a whole raft of reasons why you may have had a payment protection P.P.I. Policy with a bank loan or card and actually you could have a claim but you have as you said in the introduction just got one months to go now to make that claim and possibly get thousands of pounds back to say what kind of returns people get on it. Well it does vary very widely I mean it can be from a few 100 pounds right up to I mean some people had tens of thousands of pounds and Mark heard from a gentleman just 10 minutes or so ago who got 15000 pounds which wow he's just about to retire so he's very happy about that so it really does depend on the kind of policy you had what it was protecting How many years you had it many people had more than one policy they may have had a couple of credit cards maybe a home improvement loan or a car loan they found out they actually had 3 or 4 of these policies that they completely forgotten about and have been able to claim for them and this is money coming directly from the bank so they're the ones that have to stump up the insurance companies yeah it's banks and it's basically the banks and the loan providers same credit card store can provide is calling providers and the banks and they've basically had to ring fence a huge amount of money I mean they've already paid out over 35000000000 pounds I know it's a massive amount of compensation and in May alone which is the last month that we go up to date figures for they paid out over $35350000000.00 pounds that's $10000000.00 pounds a day they were paying out in P.P.I. Compensation are in think in the US are that Sarah sorry for that was going to continue to triple. Our I think that that's not really going to have much of a profound impact on that business is it that kind of money well I mean it has had a bit of an impact on the business and certainly in the early days I think when when they were 1st starting to set aside that money but it is money they've had you know that they've been told very clearly they have to set it aside and I think now that they know you know people are claiming as I said people are still claiming money still being paid out but I think the main message is I mean I talk to people who still haven't started to claim who think they may have had a policy either didn't think it's worth it or maybe they're worried that it'll mess up their relationship with their bank account provider and you know that's not the case a tool they they won't treat you any differently it won't affect your credit rating and I mean genuinely You have got nothing to lose the worst case scenario. As you will have you will end up no worse off than you are now and the best case scenario you could have I mean it may be just a few 100 pounds it could be a few 1000 it could be many thousands of fans but it will be money that is rightfully yours that if you don't claim it you won't get it here we've all been in the situation where we've seen the numbers on the phone with answered we're not quite sure who it is we take the call and it is somebody trying to convince us to seek P.P.I. Claims to go with them to use that company has that been a bit of a psychological impact on the fact that people haven't been bombarded by these calls people put off claiming by the fact they've been hounded by calls from clans claims companies Yeah I think that stuff is something that I here mean some people are you know sick of hearing about the whole thing and they definitely say you're getting the calls from the claims companies I mean that is going to start fairly soon because we've only got a month to go yogas the 29th is the deadline I mean my message is you do not have to use a company to help you make a claim it's your decision if you do use one they may take say 20 percent of any money they get back to you get back for you but it is a personal decision my main My main message is please don't lose that by leaving it until the very last minute and then thinking but you know I haven't got time if you don't know you provide it was maybe you had to say it but it was still called a number of years ago and the company doesn't exist anymore the F.C.A. Website which is F.D.A. To order U.K. Forward slash P.P.I. They've got a really useful list of provide is so you can search for a company find out what it was cold and then who you need to complain to now because it's changed hands I think that's something that put some people off I think watching around anymore the name on the statement isn't who I remember but you can find that information if you go to the bank's website they have an online center you can make your claim online they all many of them have call centers as well and if you don't want to do any of this online anything actually I want to talk to somebody then you can ring the F.C.A. As well they have a helpline which is open extended hours from now on and you can call the. Give you the number if you want me to go yeah OK it's 801018 double line Sarah thank you so much I'm sworn in really feel. Sorry for speaking to us about this morning if you if your claim in now is the time 29th of August is that deadline of let's not attack this morning actually of my government he said you need to look at P.R. She sent me a link to that link that the Sarah get back so I'm going off on that as well if you are on B.B.C. Radio much just another thought on this I'm like but. Not. Radio Manchester how are you all rights I'm terrible Morrison for Mike Sweeney at this morning and Mike for me and he says morning Darrell with mortgages involved in the P.P.I. Issue yes they were just speaking see a financial expert about the fact that we have literally weeks left to claim on P.P.R. You know those calls you've been bombarded by for weeks and weeks and weeks of infuriating calls from people well actually could be worth quite a bit of money to be honest with you not what's worth no ignoring of the next couple weeks 29th of August is the deadline yet mortgages and loans and stuff you can go to the website put details in jobs Google actually P.P.I. Claims details. He's been lent from etc and I'll do the work for you and see if you some money back. If you text. Mike at the start of a text message if you want to say hi this morning Do you ever feel like you have been discriminated against for being working class or something has happened to you the B.B.C. . Has got a new program on tonight's called How to break into the elite really really fascinating look at the disparity between classes and the disparity between between classes and the classes actually getting on in life and social mobility and all those things inequality opportunity etc really interesting that I think will strike a chord with the senators with me. Talked to me on the week that we had another return in Indiana in Downing Street I mean we're talking in the week that College Oxford has its 4th prime minister we're talking the week that. Which is a school set up just south of in the year 1440 for the education of $74.00 boys of the $77.00 prime ministers in Britain this is the 20th Alexander Boris to 4 Johnson is the 20th to go to this one school in the year 1440 and it seems like Eton and Oxford are the kind of spirit and makes a combination of the British probably because a huge proportion of prime ministers seem to have gone there and you know I went to Cambridge University I didn't go to Eton. I think I'm pleased to say but it does these institutions do create a tremendous sense that you know. But also that you are part of this club fascinating. Night from. Will in full. Travel. Good morning D.M.P. 56 then earlier accident. Apparently there is still one line close you leave the motorway so this is affecting traffic away from Manchester but the queue isn't quite lengthy as it was one point was right back towards with but if you are experienced at. 7 It voted not to reason why and it's off the main carriage way the accident still closed because of flooding. And also the. Relief Road So we've seen traffic queuing through and struggling through points and it's well it's busier than usual 85 trying to get through between points in a grove delays on the steady I'm 60. 2 With Manchester this is a birch ward and it looks like it could be broken down vehicle that one the inside lane is closed off the queues building towards the get in lights from 10th whistle and a closure still in Rochdale of the 8 infield road where they're dealing with. They've been issues on trains today because of flooding on the line in much to Victoria still dealing with problems I think the water the subsided but it is going to take a while for the timetable to recover if you know give us a cool 1018.

The financial conduct a thorough support line available on the website a couple people asking for this again F C dot org dot U.K. Slash P.P.I. Or you can call the F C helpline on 0800. That's the number of 80101 double light stops you do it you've only got a couple of couple weeks to do it. But the answer to that Quiz we're looking for somebody who's won lots of awards on 0800 to one a double to 5 let's talk about this on Friday I was asking should we put young people behind bars we had a really fascinating chat you and I didn't know about this so it came as a judge sentenced to teenage boys in connection with the death of the Manchester Grammar School pupil Yousif Makki condemned knife crime as being a cancer on society 17 year old Yousef was stabbed in hell bombs in March you remember that it was a big story one of those real big catalysts for that conversation about knife crime well earlier this month one of the teenagers was cleared of murder manslaughter saying that he acted in self defense boy as we called him because we can't reveal the names who actually stabbed Giese if admitted to lying to police immediately afterwards he was sentenced to 60 month detention and training order the effectively means he's going to spend about 8 months in custody the other boy teenager boy baby also admitted to carry a knife to his role he was given a 4 month detention in training order so he'll spend 2 months in custody while I cope with Emma Emma is a former Manchester gang member and then working with a local group called Positive Futures to help her get back on track and overcome drug addiction she gave me her. By you know. Not being tall and. You know your knives a lot for those for people families Michael for that family and that potential future you know if they don't call and you cannot just put your name and then release the gun and then they get used to be an institutional I've got in every single night you know the males call it all tales to just say that's an Asian on you'll see Oriana of being in a pub again this is really fast and they could you give us some insight into how that was he. Was told what kind of is the sales hot powerful anyway because you've got some sort of power from holding weapons and banning guns is just you constantly like pressured into into Skaven certain way and you know you saw get used to the law because you know that if anything else is going that you know that they're going to going to get they're going to be there I just saw a thing and just saw gauges at the Apollo the ailing guns I when I was there going I was in was just a lot it just. It just didn't happen you had to opt out but blown out today but not shot of a don't care attitude but brutal what you mean by that. Like as not as it. Did put people in cars taken to the malls could kill any sort of got bought. By really limited. Goal rewrite. Grounds. And you said that there's a there's a saw a sense of empowerment is that the class from doing not yes because what you see nowadays I consumed is like a walking around like smoking and sweating still fly I'm not falling to lose by you know today's music today's television. You know if I could. If I did again the music and. The role by. The mind of the news today and listen to that child because luckily I've got loads of money got going live clearly. You know not to seem to get away with it I think well we can do our. Thing obvious solutions as well as obviously restrict in and regulate him will. Games can be accessed access from all kind of content young people access whether that's through the parents or otherwise the other obvious conclusion to draw is that we need to empower young people if young people are seeking this power through things like knives and and gang culture and pairing them another way would be a good antidote I'm not going to show you always have an implementation somewhere. Seek out an admission. It had instructions on Israel because it's already didn't say now you know me so kids about addiction is passing down and it's not. But I think that you can put restrictions on it like the older generation could I people my age the ones I still cannot not impounding might have led a very gung ho about whether or not passing it down was also a calking industry because it's a case of the count you need to be able to access that kind of content and understand that it's wrong and not be influenced by it right your moral compass and your understanding of what is right and wrong needs to be strong enough for you to play I call I play Grand Theft Auto I do have got Grand Theft Auto on the Playstation at home and occasionally when I can get a chance from a girlfriend and the journey back down I'll sometimes I got it all I know the difference between right and wrong I know that I'm not taking into my life and I appreciate that that's very simplistic in that I'm not wrapped up in all the other things that are involved in the sort of and trap young people into gang culture but if it is that we're going wrong to eat earlier monitoring an earlier guidance on what your moral compass is not causing I think Countryfile I've just been saying and it's going today at least 510 years of the before it comes down I think because it's already been shown it's already this is already over well 500 Katrina got me already and I think it's good I think it's a laugh to get a longer think you can hear it again focused on small areas already. A lot that forgot about. The over generations it's all about it's all been about you know the wealthy and the older generation did not bother to now. The counselors that people had a question because you had you lift yourself out of gun culture what was the Terrence. When I got got into drug addiction and I went into the OPs that's how I got out of that I don't think I got out of it if I don't go into rehab. So for you it was rehabilitation which is one of the things that we kind of regret and say there's this constant debate isn't there we have it on Friday but tween heavy handed police sentences stricter police sentences and using initiatives rather than locking people up and put them behind bars using initiatives that rehabilitate people view as rehabilitation. From alcohol from from drugs as you say. Again that seems like a really obvious thing to do doesn't it let's rehabilitate our young rather than lock them up is that right yeah yeah I don't see the point in looking at someone not because I know the 1st time I got arrested like a basking in the world and. You know when I went back and told them everyone was like. Wow I've only. Been arrested so gave me even more power inside people that unlocked. You know many former Manchester gang members with her story and likes to you know watch these really enjoying this because we talked about this on Friday and we did the fun in on it you were incredibly passionate and you're incredibly articulate and you were considered interesting about it and it's so important that we do as a society can together debate these things and all voices are heard but sometimes there is no substitute for the experience of somebody who has been there on the front line and is seen it and has experienced it and knows what it's about the ins and outs of it how you can be so easily trapped in that kind of life and what we do to get people out of it and there's a moment and then there's a charity as well positive features He's a really really great things right food source in business I. Think. So Daisy has a. Person here as you claim. Lots of awards were looking for Terri and with sure money met you and oh yeah I'm fine thank you what you think I'm sorry for you. All that's a really good call Alex Ferguson is a really really really good one yeah I was wrong. On the Sara Lee He has definitely been lots of awards I we kind of can seem like Premier League trophies and stuff as awards as well yeah that's right yeah. Because he also won a lot so I monitor the month award storyline hold it I mean. You know I didn't yeah I did absolutely did yet a story to tell you CAN YOU NOT and history will be history telling us so as well look at sorry is it sort of expected so much to look. It's not Terry I'm sorry. Can I thought really I thought you know how I stand I stay there and I move in some dark Hi Barbara. I got I got caught up in saying by a heightened sense I'm that you know. That is YOUR we think I was thinking maybe in Malawi you saw side of the young Pakistani Nobel Peace Prize and the list yeah she's incredible Isn't she one of the amazing go she is an amazing life and highly . Loss of awards lots of awards yet hardly so as well is it Malala. It's not proven since I'm sorry it's not there where I can blame the wife it was. Always good to have a fall back I appreciate it thank you met Yes I can bolt and like a good morning Carol good morning I was thinking she is trending in the news she has a new place and you can spend option. She must have won a few awards I think she probably has over time can't yes good guess could have. Gone a page of them like I was looking out this morning yes but. Yeah quite absolutely dating with foot as well Dave you're on high oh yeah Yeah oh I don't change my mind consume I do already said no I'm not sure if you're allowed to change. Be Illin this business and say you know you can't know sorry Linda has spoken. To you still with us that we. Don't go deaf was of no I've not told you if it's right or wrong yet you might be a joy when I think you're smart moments OK death is Judi Dench. It's not Judy Dench I'm sorry oh never mind Sorry about going after the cats as well. As their speech again what to. Expect from B.B.C. Radio Manchester in the morning and I will have to stop it right off at. Least the radio traffic. Good morning 6 is easing Bowden I'm wondering if they've dealt with the act and now reopen the lane on the exit slip road because the queues pretty much gone completely and you for months. And 7 we still got this issue with the flooding though affecting at the 5 airport relief and also the A $34.00 through. So we've seen Q 3 and in the point in area as a result of those 2 closure now the congestion seems to be easing slightly but it is still very busy and no estimate yet as to when they're going to reopen those main routes Likewise even Field Road in Rochdale dealing with the bath water main that's been closed all morning the main a 68 I think the hope was they could set up some temperature at lights then at least let some of the traffic through and then if you make you am 62 towards Manchester at Birchwood junction 11 a broken down vehicle blocking the inside lane if you know of a queue that we don't mention in let us know 108618 double to double 5 weekday afternoons with Phil trial this week homage to people it's the footballer Joe Thompson who's just retired from the game he's going to talk about his career and his diagnosis with Hodgkin's lymphoma and how he now intends to become a fundraiser I do class myself as an ambassador for the Christie 23000000 pound project to build hopefully in 2 years time plus how clever or not awful we've got a special week of the definition quiz featuring some well known names taking part in the quiz filled weekday afternoons from 3 B.B.C. Radio Manchester morning almost quarter to 11 Morris in for Mike Sweeney this morning saw thousands of students all across the university has finished you might have. Home again. Back in your spare room in your kitchen the job search begins now doesn't it for a lot of people but when it comes to the top professions can graduates from all backgrounds manage to get a foot in the door and have you ever felt like you have been. Exploited. Because if you're working class backgrounds is that something that happens to you feel like you've been disserved the B.B.C.'s media will Raj has been exploring what the key to success really is who you know rather than what you know we've got a program on B.B.C. Tonight 9 o'clock called Hi It's a break into the elite and I spoke to him earlier Good to see. You well made Yes I'm really really well I mean if you frame the question I'm sort of overwhelmed by a kind of sadness because I have actually just suddenly got this image of a mind of thousands of graduates are full of hope for the excitement and also full of desperate disappointment because the fact is they're almost you know the stats and the data is just the vast majority of them think they're going to get a job and probably won't we it feels like we have spent decades shooting for this idea of equality of opportunity right now seems to be every you know every cycle we have a posse or politician he kind of puts out for instance the reality is I guess that is part of what you found the program that were a 1000000 miles away from the yes and I think new or not is not a spot on but is a precursor to one of the central ideas in the program which is the way in which we've pursued equality of opportunity is by pushing education to higher education if you think in recent history you know really the last 70 years which is nothing in the history of a country where this extraordinary expansion Dayrell of higher education in the in sixty's couple 100000 people at university it was very much I think there's been for good reasons I got a Terry and principle reasons there's been a massive expansion of the graduate clause and that's created problems it creates some advantages but we've definitely had this story that if you go to a top university regards a background that degree is going to get you you can be high flood you can be somebody can be really really wealthy you can pretty achieve your dreams turns out it's just not true it's just not true and actually I think there's a genuine kind of moral question as well as a policy question of Is it fair that we're selling this me to lots of people absolutely case for people listening to this who have just finished a degree of thinking about applying for you cast for next year in lots of cases are degrees a fantastic thing to do and it can get you job is not a guarantee and we have this expansion. In the graduate class without a growth in the graduate jobs so where does it break down when they go wrong well I think it goes wrong in a couple ways One is that the professions in this country are still to a very large extent dominated by dominant kind of codes behavior which have generally being created by the rich ones that mean in practice it means that class operates in strange insidious ways which we just don't understand is a brilliant academic at the lunch School of Economics who Sam Friedman is written with a class ceiling why pastry privilege is a big part of the documentary and he says there's a few different ways in which basically if you're from a poor background you have about as good to be from a rich background and the case that is if you will from a poor family you know someone who's working class and you get into a top university of Russia great university and you get a 1st you still less money about 7000 pounds annually than someone who's from a rich background who gets a tutu from the same university if you wait say one of the very top universities Oxbridge from working class background you still less and some from wealthy background and the really. Terrifying thing is when you mix class with other kind of forms disadvantage like being for instance a black woman from the north where you know the dates just you're less likely to have money that's a white man from the south if you mix close in top of all of that stuff you see that people earning about $20000.00 pounds less for doing the same job so in other words there was a class pay gap you lost was appen average for a number of reasons 1st is that in all these different professions whether it's the media whether it's private equity whether it's law whether it's banking there exists dominant codes of behavior that exists and ways in which people have to make it to the top by having the same cultural references by having the same etiquette by dressing the same way by knowing how to shake hands and those cards behavior have historically been dominated by people from wealthy backgrounds and people from poor backgrounds including some people who will be listening to this often through Access schemes and diversity can get into these professions but they still massively help out when they try to get on within these professions so they might get through the door which is a really good thing but then they kind of missing out because they don't know the same ski resorts as the other person is running this private equity place they don't know how to dress or you know what you want you have to drop a certain lingo in. From wealthy backgrounds so we'll excluding people from poor backgrounds even when we would get them into top professions and that's something that we need to think really hard about how to address and I mean I went to Oxford a while ago. How to look around some of those big institutions and some of those incredible buildings an incredible architecture on the ground that exists in those in those institutions it struck me at that point it is no surprise that those people who can through those institutions feel a sense all of maybe entitlement actually I mean history is on that side I mean we're talking in the week that. College Oxford has its 4th prime minister we're talking in the week. Which is a school set up just south of flour in the year 1440 for the education of 70 poor boys of the $77.00 prime ministers in Britain this is the 20th. And a burst of fire for Johnson is the 20th to go to this one school in the A $1440.00 and it seems like Eton and Oxford are the kind of spirit makes a combination the brace probably like because a huge proportion of prime ministers seem to have gone there and you know I went to Cambridge University I didn't go to Eton. I think I'm pleased to say but it does these institutions do create a tremendous sense that you know entitlement but also that you are part of this club you are part of the this posse this group these people that basically run the country and what we need to do sting very hard about we expand that club Now in fairness to lots of institutions like the B.B.C. We should work very hard at diversity in access in fairness to top schools like Eton which is trying very hard actually to get people in from poor backgrounds and universities like the rest of the universities they are trying really hard to help kids from poor backgrounds for a number of different ways the trouble is even when those schemes work even when you can put off getting a kid from a really working class background into say an elite freshman like the law the fact is the tops of these professions the coaches are made within those professions by people who basically look and sound the same way and that is just going to take frankly a lot of time to fit really fascinates in and it does go right in some places more with animal online a 2nd baby love the Supremes. Discriminates between classes. His. Media this incredible development in the. Very private. We were talking before. I think the B.B.C. And these institutions were. They still in Bolton still in London Sorry but will not be happy if I think I've always been that United you know well I suggest that to the director general next so much I think I think it helps him today and I think it helps that the family had loved. Your mates from school and jobs. Just dropped into you know shine and suddenly all these jobs are just my B.B.C. But that's a 4 as well. So there's a lot of there's a lot of it as well as B.B.C. Radio Manchester which is obviously here in this building we've got B.B.C. Breakfast 5 Live is that staggers the B.B.C. World Service here at the B.B.C. Sports department is here Children's is here these opportunities are rife they come here and that has done I think a huge amount for the people who are not just these areas but he was if you have jobs to redress the enormous and genuinely unjust disadvantage in the fact that you know most professions automated by London and one of the other ways in which kids from work last background excluded is if they don't happen to live in London and they don't have to have someone they can you know who lives there a family member or a mate who's so if they can stay on when they're going in turn shit which is another it's to keep up with this that they're in big trouble they really really really really are struggling but think about what you've done tomorrow right here where you say you're working class not from boat and if you look at the root data if you look at the root data the chances are the working class people from Bolton are less likely to make it to the top professionals into the financially than people who are even work last week from London but you know specially people who are from a privileged background in London and I think we want to something there because class works in a very different way to the other forms of discrimination if I look you know I work in a B.B.C. NEWSROOM if I look at. In London if I look at me I can tell you straight way down the gender divide roughly men and women I tell you how many people the age divide is how many rough age profile and I'll tell you how many people maybe have a physical disability or in a wheelchair I couldn't tell you how many people come from a working class background I couldn't tell you how many people have a. Mom who was a single mom who was a carer I can tell you how many people come from perfect family where the main breadwinner was someone who was a managerial professional who was actually working with their hands selling physical labor Clauss is harder to see it's harder to identify and is therefore harder to do something about because class is fluid you know I'm a man of Indian origin I have brown skin you know I married an English woman of white skin my son is mixed race but I was a British Asian but will cost so much. On the family navigate the border between working class and middle class such as an old Greek guy from an old be background went to a good state school I'm now in the financial elites a class is fluid plus a fluid is hard to define and therefore it's hard to do things about and crucially where these people from and I think minority or people who you know fight for equal pay I'm half women which is a very worthwhile cause or people who have a physical disability they will have a lot be one of the biggest things I found in broadcasting and when the big things I found making this program is that the pull to work across have no lobby. Is isn't even institutions out of London too simplistic I think it does I think it does a huge amount I think it meets with enormous resistance but I think it would help overcome one of the fundamental disadvantages which is the concentrations of power in metropolitan capitals in particular in London I you know as it happens in my kind of reporting in the world of media technology if you look at the way in which the companies I cover you know the big tech companies on the West Coast of America the big tech companies in China these companies are changing the economy in lots and lots of different ways and one of the ways which is changing is that creating these networking or cluster effects power does seem to be concentrating in fewer places and I think when you look at the election of Donald Trump if you look at the decision to vote for him to leave the European Union you find that that's to some extent a response against the concentration of power to places I sometimes requires I think probably quite what some people say heavy handed decision making what others would say United sits by the B.B.C. To set up this by. So food or government needs to fix our problems maybe move parliament in a way. It sometimes needs quite strong and firm action which means with a lot of friction to overcome that huge disadvantage for the old saying I feel like we should we should we should we should go from studio and you or your man and probably more about it's not even you or someone who I think is really showed that if you have the right talent you have the application then you can get from humble beginnings ordinary beginnings to extraordinary says that's very kind to say appreciate I think although I would have that with that with the fact that if I look back on my early days of getting into this job and into this industry are there's no way that I could have done it without the support of parents without my grandad's waking up at 4 o'clock in the morning to drive me into go and do a show went to a radio station somewhere or you know my mom supported me in a time when the money was rolling in its hole and I was doing a lot of stuff for free you know even though the opportunities are in there on our doorstep in a way that it never did before there was still that gap I got still exist you know I think of 2 different kinds of wealth I think of material wealth which is money and I think of more wealth which is love and I think a lot of people like you and me families the types of material wealth you have a lot of more wealth and that love and that support you know I came from you know classic immigrant family I was born in the country I was 3 I had. A ferociously disciplined disciplinary and dad who did want to do very very well in school and they pushed us and they're going to be someone that we didn't come to this country if you to be a vagabond going to work damn hard to get fantastic grades and I feel like that support which resonates with what you're saying something that's really if you do want to make it quite the program is all not not to talk money and. How to break into the. Thank you Raj and speaking to me recently so that and I'm sure something that will resonate with he was well really worth watch that tonight 9 o'clock B.B.C.
