Cup 3rd round there at Manchester City in round 3 pretty average draws for Stoke and for crew in round 3 it has to be said but we'll be talking to Tom pope live on this show Paul Vallas strike a little bit later on coming up to 10 minutes past 8 heartbreaking pictures on the front pages of this morning's papers from the vigils in London in Cambridge yesterday for the 2 victims of the London Bridge terror attack and for those who were injured of course Jack Merritt who is $25.00 and Saskia Jones who was 23 tragically lost their lives now many of them showed Maritz go friend it's. Awful picture of her this morning in tears being comforted by Jack's parents his father Dave has written this really powerful column in The Guardian this morning with the headline Jack would be livid if his death has been used to further an agenda of hate really interesting article and very very brave for his dad Dave to write it so soon after his son's death now the pair were killed by a convicted terrorist as one can from Coburg show contract lived in Stafford as well and Tunstall it was on Friday 3 other people were injured now b.b.c. Radio Stokes Matley is with me this morning we're going to talk a bit more about what happened in the attack on Friday so bit graphic so if you have got young years maybe just want to turn it down for a couple of minutes Firstly Matt yesterday's vigil just really really emotional yeah I think you summed up there John in terms of the pictures that are in the papers in the pictures that we saw on the television last night really really emotional scenes because of this family and his girlfriend being this gathering in Central London for the vigil their politicians with their well wishes with their big tributes paid to the emergency services and the police who reacted really quickly to what happened on London Bridge on Friday and also to those members of the public that intervened there was applause and also a moment's silence and this is what the mayor of London City Car had to say we come together this morning condolences but also in a spirit of defiance to say that London will never be cowed or intimidated by terrorism and also to commit on when the memory of such year and Jack by dedicating their future to one not defined by hatred but one defined by hope. By unity and by love and Stoke on Trent city council at Abbey Brown has also spoken about the incident on Friday she says the city shocked and devastated to learn that there's a link to stay contract she went on to say she wants this not to reflect on the hundreds of thousands of community spirited people and law abiding citizens that make up our friendly and welcoming city just so more details of the attack have been made public as well stuff we didn't know yesterday yes we know that Jack incest you are both working and vent to help x. Prisoners in the fishmongers Hall in London on Friday afternoon now you know what happened on the bridge you have seen the pictures of a man car being stopped by these heroes you were using and now while Tuscon fire extinguishers to bring him down and hold him down until the police got there you have seen the videos on the achieve and also seen them on the news but what you haven't heard now is how what went on inside the fishmongers hall that basically we found a lot more about that Professor Brian Payne was in there he's an American was at the event he says Jack Merritt was really brave he was the 1st person to step up and confront Can I saw him as he was like swinging and I was coming into the door I mean that was the extent of it and again when he'd been pushed out and then I saw a woman on the ground I saw. I saw one of the other lead organizers of the day administering c.p.r. You know I saw people die you know I saw things that are never going to be able to unsee and I want to make sure that as much as possible there we uphold the heroes of the day you know they stepped up even imagine what that was like now b.b.c. Radio Stoke is also heard from someone who knew of Usman com before he was jailed for terrorism back in 2012 Yeah this was I'm good was he he's a counsellor at Stoke on Trent city council he was speaking to Stuart George on b.b.c. Radio state last night he told how we can fight it as men can and his friends about its extreme views outside a mosque in Cobra run about 11 years ago there were always those side of the mosque trying to distribute the leaflets to the congregation we used to attend there was Bedford road mosque fierce when we were. On Friday prayers off to the prayers we confronted these young men and we said don't distribute the leaflets and the said we're distributing no so you can do anything about it there was vent aggressive you know the tune changed and there was sort of aggressive they don't want to know us to think we don't know nothing about Islam it was a scary number yes if you think about it we never agreed with the leaf to send you know their preaching so it was nothing to do with Islam and was unlucky Islamic preaching it was always a political preaching. It was a accounts for at Stoke on Trent city council earlier I spoke to. Who works at the Home Office trying to radicalize people he was a radical jihadist himself and the recruits are in the eighty's and ninety's but now he campaigns against violence and against extremism I asked how calm he was born and raised in Stoke on Trent could become radicalized there are factors which drive a person towards radicalism I mean he could be a could have been incensed about what's going on a certain parts of the world he could have had misapprehensions about the government the foreign policies and all sorts of things but ultimately away with or without foreign any sort of provocation he would be radicalized because he would be subscribing to certain understanding of fate combined with social political economic theories and ideology who's doing that saying here Ok he's teaching him now where is he finding the information and who's who's turning in that why they're clearly that that kind of information is available is plentiful on the internet but with the size of the internet many people hold such beliefs some of them are normative in the sense that they are seen as innocuous beliefs which we don't dig into and do much about so that I mean Islam Islam is the problem I mean what is angry or what's provoked or not I mean religion should not be should be restraining factor so this these people I've met enough with this kind of people over a very long period of time to know that they have an ideology they have a goal and they have differences about their mother themselves ultimately they are trying to establish an us versus them other rising other people demonizing them and then they want to establish what they want what they believe to be the correct version of these nomic state how did you get dragged into it in the eighty's and ninety's. Well that's what I mean I mean I was driven into this because of my what how other people go off into foreign theatres for fighting and so on I mean you want to help your pressed so for the weak and vulnerable you know reach a check up for a knock at the occupiers so in a sense I went out there to support the Muslims who are suffering in Afghanistan and I had clear cut enemies and so and so I thought it's a naive way of looking at things is driven sometimes by Agha and things have become much much worse since my time how were you direct allies then how did you kind of I guess sort of see the light become what you've become now. It took time because no one offered me any any kind of support I mean it's not as if I went through d.d.p. Or prevent and things like that to develop a sorry distance and disengagement program Ok so basically there are 3 factors to it and you have to educate yourself and that means broadening your mind deepening your thought learning to have critical understanding of matters questioning things so I read across a lot of subjects from philosophy history politics you know social sciences to also learning about other denominations or sects within Islam what their views were about the what we claim to be scripture that's the 1st the 2nd factor is of course without external support I had to think a lot about my the consequences of my actions I think about it know the reality around me what I'm doing actually doing and thirdly about me who am I really in terms of being a person my heart my being my soul there's been lots of talk about whether those men can should have been freed on license he was wearing a target the time what was your view should should terrorists who are convicted of terror offenses be locked up for life it was almost unanimous Well I think it was unanimous pretty much yesterday with people contacting the radio station saying she'd never been let down that say you should be locked up throw away the key life should mean life for something like this what's your view what I mean life should mean life or but there is a sentencing isn't it I mean not all terrorist are these are the same I mean I don't leave us alive by thing to say or not I mean someone has killed a person someone who was intending to kill a person someone who is going to commit not. A murder but mass murder I mean they're all different types of people on a general feeling is it in my main in my not in my non-expert feeling and I should trust the judiciary the police and their home office and all the various departments at work together my general human feeling because of sadness and anger and frustration is that in your life should mean life when Wiley who works in the home. Helping to deal radicalize people but once was a real radical jihadist and recruiter in the eighty's and ninety's himself talking to me on John is a breakfast a little earlier it's 19 minutes past 8.
