Robbie Williams he's got a new album out it's a Christmas album it's called The Christmas present and he's done a load of 2 acts really with the likes of Brian Adams Jamie Cullum is on there Rod Stewart is on that he's going to be performing Ghassan concerts the Robbie Williams Christmas show later this month about the Jew at that really stood out from a was the one with Tyson Fury. Which is on site of now I did start listening to the album I've not got to that one yet I will let you know what it's like it's sure to be interesting I think is probably the way we will end up describing not one. Whole song b.b.c. Radio measures such. As it's 8 minutes past 4 now vigils have been held for the 2 victims of the London Bridge attack on for. Roy de sac you Jones and Jack Merritt was stabbed by a convicted terrorist as men can who'd been released early from jail the deaths of Lloyd 2 were the cases being reviewed but around was broken out between politicians with accusations of political point scoring within hours of the attack Well I'm joined now by our political correspondent Elise you McCarthy and Alysia a somber start to the day with the vigil in London Yeah that's right at the vigil today and we had the mare of London City come on being present at that we also had Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn who were there now Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn didn't speak at that event the mare of London City Condit speak briefly and after the vigil he said Jack and Sas get We're not yet buried but there had already been people making cheap political points and he said I think that's really wrong now he's obviously referring to the fact that over the weekend Boris Johnson was quick to blame Labor for the automatic release of prisoners convicted of terrorism the change in the law that the Tories say came in in 2008 and labor for its part have pointed to cuts simply some probation and prisons and mental health services for what they say is their part in all of this knuckles all of that for some pretty strong comments from Jack Martz father David who said we know Jack wouldn't want this incident to be used as a pretext by the government for introducing even more draconian sentences on prisoners Boris Johnson when he was out about today was asked about that and he said Well I've long campaigned against early release because because the law at the time of his McCann's conviction there was no way to review his case and he was released automatically. Now back on the campaign trail Labor has unveiled some of its transport plans with a proposed cutting some rail 1st timers more. Yeah that's right now it's not entirely straight forward because as we all know rail fares are fiendishly complicated but basically labor has announced plans to cut a call regulated fastening in by a 3rd now regulated fares include season tickets for most commuter journeys as well as some say the returns and other fares but basically about 45 percent of all fares now the party says it would save the average commute more than a 1000 pounds a year and it would pay for this the cost of it reckons would be about $1.00 and a half 1000000000 pounds and it would be covered by Vehicle Excise Duty which essentially is car tax due in May which is one of the Conservatives had earmarked to spend on roads so how is this going down with the conservative transport secretary has said the plan is desperate and he says it's basically do distract from the fact that Labor would put up taxes on low and middle income workers in other areas right across the country and what about the conservatives on the liberal. Yes or 2 very different stories coming from these 2 today so the conservatives are putting forward a 5 point plan to camp down on illegal immigrants and goods entering the u.k. From the e.u. Basically it's going to introduce if it's reelected automatic exit and entrance checks make it harder for people with serious criminal convictions to come to the u.k. It's also talking about introducing an American style visa waiver scheme which travellers would have to get before reaching the u.k. Border the idea being that this again would be thought the ability to screen arrivals against watch lists of people that shouldn't be coming into the country now Labor says that the u.k. Would no longer have access to important things like e.u. Databases or the European arrest warrant after breakfast so we'd actually be losing the ability to have information about some people who are coming here and the Liberal Democrats say the conservative plans would lead to bureaucracy and of course the e.u. They say would implement a merit system for British public traveling to. Look Dems are all talking about something completely different they're talking about what they call a brick sit brain drain they say 11000 academics have left the u.k. Since 26 they have the Guardian says the lift them statistics only cover depart and look at the number of e.u. National entering the u.k. To take up academic posts and it says that overall the number of academic staff rose for a slightly between 20162018 Alysia for now thank you very much indeed that's Alysia McCarthy that on the campaign trial want to get. A new tattoo and some. You. Know you can't. You. Wow. Such. As the Jonas Brothers. As you could probably tell. B.b.c. Radio. Say I would do it on those roads. Good afternoon sell to got the lies you had north of the m 6 from 60 to 70 because we've broken down very early a place to say that it's been recovered both certainly Basie than would normally expect not really to following on from not if you had not way back into our area of the stuff that you border is why. Approaching South Pole role if you want to be a. Trouble. a very good afternoon to you is 20 past 4 very good afternoon to Leon Harper How are you Leon All right thank you and we're going to have to I suppose start with what happened at London Bridge on Friday horrible horrible scenes that I'm sure most people have seen the footage now we are covering that we've got Dr David Lo who's a little pool based terrorism expert coming on the show after 5 o'clock it appears to me the this has been turned into a color kind of political debate even after the father of the young lad who died said he didn't want that to happen it has his name on it political point scoring appears to be in the offing doesn't it I mean it it didn't seem to really threaten seems take too long for the political parties to seize upon this I mean obviously and you also going on in the background with this we've got a general election yeah I mean there is well if you have from that point of view it's not great anyway is it's bull I mean Boris Johnson blamed the last Labor government thing called the lefty government for the early release of the man responsible and then in turn labor accused the conservatives of not addressing the issue in almost a decade in power so strong I mean that I suppose when one says something the other feels it's got to respond whichever way round it is I mean you know that awful event happens but it took that because of the circumstances around it just throw up a lot of questions which people do it was any and all the father of the one of the victims how offensive is that that you say please don't turn it into they said. And then they immediately do yeah because you know what I think people really sometimes might forget when all this is going on around it is that you've got 2 families here the people still in hospital I think there were 2 or 3 people you know in jail Well you know and that's should be the the main focus really and you know what is a horrible cruel irony is the fact that the 2 people who died appeared to be dedicating their careers to hell with the rehabilitation of offenders yeah course. This offender in particular who ended up you know killing them so it's all real situation but I suppose the question is should something like this be used in a general election campaign you almost want someone to come in and say Right everyone stop it stop it now you're not allowed to do you know what limits are you Mr banned from the whole thing about I don't know how you do that beam I want to get in touch with that one please do if you've got an opinion on it on a much lighter note Christmas jumpers right the boss of the minibus firm has been criticized for banning is drivers from wearing Christmas jumpers part of the company's services to provide school runs and the director says the ban is to protect the feelings of children with special needs so while the right to bomb the jump or of all the overreacting now the 1st question to you now Harper is are you a fan of the Christmas jumper I don't own one if I have you I mean if you have a rock one if you have a warm water when I was younger a really probably I mean like yeah yeah right Ok a couple with a really a thing but you were a child where they were the go because I remember modern thing now well they are like but I do remember having a jump out with some snow scene right out right right member it. Did it was a bit pretty true to now you know like the snow just like this yeah it was like an affair remember like a snow flurry on you know or they got like a snow sleet was the carrot stick and I don't I don't mock me not to do the government you are one no no I haven't but I'm going to carry one. Often I want thanks very much indeed that's very kind of you to say the thing that I was considering right because for this Christmas I'm going to the dogs yes I'll Xandra palace now for those you know the big dance world championship takes place over the Christmas period and now I'm going right before Christmas and I was thinking you know it's because you know that the crowd pound the camera pans around to the crowd and you see people you know putting the signs or saying sorry like hello whoever or whatever so I thought if well I you know if I got a Christmas jumper on I might still out of it Laura and I might get on the telly so I thought quite aware of darts Christmas jumper it's almost compulsory something I only thing I'm considering doing but no I've never I've never had warm I'd like to hear from people who've got Christmas jumpers and you know maybe give me ideas of what could have on my Christmas jumper my arms threatened a few times to buy them for us a Christmas I don't really guilty she hasn't thought maybe this year this could be if she's listening she's like I'm wrong going to do it that's what when you say or do you mean the whole family yes everyone you know where one match and I don't know how I would be I don't really I think we should be much and I want to see photoshopping evidence of this because I will wet myself with laughter quite frankly about us of the dots for us well anyway so Christmas jumpers any inspiration you can give me please please do get into it she's always 807-3193 double 3 if you've got any ideas for the Christmas jumpers I would love to hear from you and on a much more serious topic let us know what you think about the electioneering really that's going on with regards to that attack on Friday it's pulled out salt one at b.b.c.

Good afternoon Celtic continue to lie about the general counsel roll their 15 on their struggling on towards South Pole roll because of temper. Scott.

Because I am one of the social we thought we'd better results will play with more coffee for us and we will be stronger but we have to get the results of all the players out and there are there myself and beyond myself I never have doubts about that talking about good professionals they are going to do everything to change this situation and they will keep doing everything. For Liverpool they all have our dream Allan goal for Wednesday night's game as Allison is suspended. Says he's comfortable with that and felt I didn't did a very good job when called into action against Brighton under an as for me man of the match because coming in in a game like this and making really 2 saves in a one was tricky and even that the goalie kicks of course are difficult everybody would ever completely cold feet it's just not possible so I am completely happy person Liverpool and trying the rovers are all in tonight's f.a.

Calling me drunk and you Alcide a club and you're lonely and so on and you hate everyone and you wish I was there it's no fun goings on. The fans always and only. Me. But not anymore. Who. I know.

How he's got a new Christmas album coming out it's called The Christmas present and one of the tracks is a Jew acts with Tyson Fury Yes I was I was wondering how that worked as well as on guest vocals is Tyson Fury. And apparently that song is the favorite to be the u.k. Christmas number one Robbie Williams and Tyson Fury anyway Stephen you Brian's been on a says I a poll at the Robbie Williams trial with Tyson Fury is called Bad Sharon. And it sounds like a Peta case believe Christmas Song Well I definitely want to hear it now I'm rather excited about here now but the yeah thanks very much for the information let's move on and talk about of the matters now in a campaign has been launched on the Liverpool born astronomer Jeremiah Horrocks who was the 1st person to demonstrate that the moon moved around the earth historians and local screenwriter Frank Corporal Boyce are among those who want to commemorate him he was born in talks to in the 17th century around $150000.00 pounds is needed and they want to do a statue that will be placed in a this in John's gardens in Liverpool or impressed and while Liverpool astronomer John Moran has been telling me more about to Jeremiah Horrocks Wallace is pretty amazing guy actually And you know it can be understated. You know the specialist argument that he was. You know and he certainly kind of. A Liverpool kind of song in a way you know we've kind of gone and made nets. When I used to work in the museum is the kind of like jumpy animal you know like the kids because you know it's a realist great way of just from West Darby. He was a baby Brewer and it was kind of like once you've made his fortune and he has indulges his posturing for the stone and me right. And he didn't just kind of you know I've to time obviously telescope. Kind of still development. Needs to actually build his own telescopes you know duck that included kinds of guns and of polish in the mirrors and still from self. You know so it was no easy feat. You know so if it was it's a stone and. You know like the. Kind of said to school visits next year next June moon so I think 7 day. After Neptune was actually discovered. By your own guy Jim in astronomy so. There's enough kind of. Famous astronomers the welder of especially a method and stuff so why not a son of little yes he's got a really significant part in the history of astronomy than all Absolutely absolutely. You know say about you know when he discovered site and he was you know he could have been the face to discover Neptune itself. You know it was a discovered stuff was to stab in the orbits of urine this. Kind of you know you know a my nose is kind of new that that was so that was kind of you know cause and you organise to wobble and put the I didn't quite discovered it yet so like the hunt was on and he was you know like 7 days kind of like you know he was out. But it wasn't just you know. These girl. Cases named after them on the moon and on my as. School an asteroid named after them and he's also got one of the veins of Neptune up to also named after them too so you know he's quite a Giants in the field of stone and you know when you think about you know this this is often and you know 18 full season stuff and it's amazing to think he achieved all waste and he only lived till the age of 22 Yeah. Yeah it's. Some of the stuff that you know. I find the fuck he was. You know being able to build these things themself. And you know he didn't just do the one telescope as well the you know we built quite a few. Of them all to the one point so was. As is usually the problem with
