News. So the light's been going out all over the Palace of Westminster no sleep over no bitch I'm a party the Government Chief Whip Lord Ashton of Hyde and I'm start conversations had concluded and a new motion will be tabled in the Lords tomorrow which will allow the ban bill to complete all stages by 5 pm on Friday as Lord Curzon told us appears loyal to the government position who were losing every motion $3.00 to $1.00 have Klein died. Well let's have a 1st shot though before we go back to John tongue with David Bell at the Boston Globe Hello David all right it's great to hear your voice Well very nice to have you with us too I must say we're going to talk about one of the scourge is of the United States and also sadly to say increasingly of cities like Glasgow and that is opioids and this is how Boston at the moment is trying to deal with discarded needles. That's right the city of Boston has a team going around to its parks and side streets and other public places to pick up needles they are story in The Boston Globe is saying that the city collects more than 14000 needles each week across the parks and playgrounds and at 13 kiosks that they have set up in different neighborhoods as well as through the city's needle exchange program this is a reflection of just how widespread this problem has become in the city of Boston I think something on your or 3000 people die die of opioid overdoses in Massachusetts the state. Last year the number is dropping down a little bit but these needles that are being found all over the city is but of one serious reflection of just how serious this this crisis is a fixed number of needles 400000 needles a week this is not if they ahd a needle on the pavement. Now it's incredible the we also have a few other numbers here the the city has a kind of a complaint line Boston 311 that people can call about any sort of thing those number number of calls has gone up significantly in the last 3 or 4 years something on the order of $4300.00 calls just in the 1st half of this year. You know there's there's plenty of ways to read this we have these kiosks where people can simply just drop the needles into a a protected box so they aren't out on the street and as I said there's a needle exchange program that the I think a nonprofit has set up here the goal there is to sort of get rid of the do. Dirty needles so they aren't shared among addicts so diseases and spread among addicts via dirty needles and of course there's no it's not just addicts it's children playing in the park and and people in sports practice and all sorts of things oh absolutely once they're out there on the street you know the death of this awful awful thing. And you know in the in the playground where 11 a neighborhood there's the area young football players practicing every day public squares than in another area. So the city obviously is very concerned about this and if you know it's a it also becomes another public relations problem for the city of Boston I mean there are if we we've had a lot of stories in the last I'd say the last month or so a particular corner called Melnyk Cass Boulevard in Massachusetts Avenue which is kind of on the edge of a very nice area of town called the South End but also on the edge of a kind of an up and coming industrial sort of town there are some homeless shelters in net area there's a jail. And as well it is an area where addicts congregate in part because of the shelters and I think there must be some treatment centers there for addicts and that has become quite a focal point for police the police went through there about 23 weeks ago rounded up a bunch of people in one instance they famously took a few a couple of wheelchairs and threw him in the back of a garbage truck which was an image that. Got ricocheted around on social media. So there was an exchange an encounter between one of the homeless attics and a jail officer. In which they scuffled a little bit so that has thrown a lot of attention on this disprove which prank frankly has been growing over the last several years but through a lot of attention at this problem just in the last couple weeks in part because these folks are sort of going beyond their their kind of area quote unquote where they're supposed to stay and then gone into some of the residential areas and suddenly the people that are the homeowners in the area are even more concerned the needles that we're talking about this evening in this story in The Globe today are yet another another issue as you point out where kids are playing in a park. Get No this is not the sort of thing that the mayor of Boston would want to have to deal with or read about and so they're trying to. Get these things cleaned up the city is trained something like 400 custody ins as well as members of its partner guys like the folks who call custodians we might call janitors you know you go. Into how to handle needles you know this was to pick them up we gloves and with tongs and straw men to a secured garbage area so the they don't actually touch them you know I've seen them on on the floors of the M.P.T. a The the subway cars in another's places as well so it is a problem no doubt about it. Well thank you for telling us about it thank you for telling us what Boston is trying to do to to sort out I will talk to you very soon David OK thank you very much thank you. Well as for Theron. The matter which has uppermost in our minds moment. That would be the procedure whereby the Lords is going to pass the ban bill and send it back to the Commons where. Things be very different. Should be law let's talk again to Professor John tongue. Hello John good evening again yeah. The idea is that anything else that we were vague about I I'm looking at what Lord Aktion of Hyde said he said conversations had concluded that's a very nice phrase isn't it well it's tends to be much more civilized than the commons and I think that the the pro no deal breaks it contingent in the House of Lords not a big contingent anyway realized that they could carry on talking but they weren't going to be able to block the bill that way and so you know frankly common sense prevailed in the the decided in an early night was better than you know sleepless nights in what appeared to be a lost cause so the bill will the Ben Bill blocking a new deal Bragg's it will become law early next week it will go back to the House of Commons for approval a Monday and then receive the Royal Assent So we sort of know without. You know in so far as anything is certain in British politics so those are perhaps a few caveats So what happens then well this is where it gets really embarrassing for Boris Johnson because he has to go to the European Council Summit 17th and 18th of October requesting an extension to our E.U. Membership until the 31st of January 2020 that is a humiliation because from the outset he said there will be no extension that we believe it we will be leaving. Regardless on the 31st of October so the central plank of his opening you know few months within government lies in tatters this evening unless he can come up with some device to force a quick election this October you know he could no confidence his own government you need 50 percent plus one to. You know when a vote of no confidence to trigger an election but that would be an utterly bizarre way of entering the general election to call a vote of no confidence upon yourself and it it it frankly you know beggars belief that any government would go into an election optimistic for the outcome of the election having pull such a stunt to trigger one the other device to try and trigger a October election would still be to. Try and pass a bill in a single day overriding the fixed term parliaments act but Boris Johnson no longer has the numbers if he ever had the NIMBY selling or not got the numbers now given the removal of the whip from the 21 level so he's going to go have to go cap in hand the irony is he might hope that one of the E.U. Member states remove all got to ratify an extension that one of those E.U. Member states might say no we want you out the we could be messed around by the United Kingdom I mean the person who might might be a manual Mark wrongly he's had enough by all accounts of the of the U.K.'s antics Boris Johnson could also take the nuclear option of ignoring the will of parliament and as a continuing members they could not support. A continued status when the European Union that would cause constitutional uproar to be did that so I think he's just going to have to suck him and see Yeah well let's let's kind of go back because you know passes or go to the future let's hear the exchange PM Cuse promised a question between Gerry carbon and Boris Johnson and see if we can't figure anything out from that just you know on the evidence of what the Prime Minister's already said he wants to do so here here is 1st of all Jeremy carbon asking Barra's Johnson What a strategy was going to be Yesterday it was revealed was to speak of the Prime Minister's a go she aging strategy is to run down the clock yet and that the attorney general told the prime minister his belief that the European Union would drop the backstop was a complete fantasy on these reports accurate or can the prime minister provide the detail of the proposals he's put forward to leave you. So then here we got Mr Johnson saying that his negotiating strategy is to get a deal by the 17th of October I'm sure you want to tell you just take a what our negotiating strategy is and it is to get a deal by the summit on October the 17th and to take this country out of the E.U. On October the 30 days to get brick sit down and watch his surrender bill would do it would rip any chance of the tolls and we don't know what you strategy is at all well might just stop there actually John come back to you because the prime minister said yesterday that if the ban bill passed that would wreck any chance of talks Well it looks like it's going to pass doesn't it yes it does look like it's going to pass and it does wreck Boris Johnson strategy Boris Johnson strategy was to not approach the European Union and conduct talks around a deal on the remnants of the May Barney agreement Boris Johnson's point it may have been completely floor but it was it was an argument at least part is Johnson's approach was to clear all the boulders out of the road show the E.U. That we were prepared to leave without a deal necessary and wait for the E.U. To come to Boris Johnson to say actually you know it's this is not a good idea it's not going to solve the issue the Irish border let's therefore you know finally belatedly make for a series of concessions to the U.K. Now I doubt that that would have happened but that was the Boris Johnson line you know the foreign policy Johnson was concerned it was not his business to negotiate about around the deal of his predecessors had negotiated it was to show the serious intent of the U.K. Government that we were prepared to countenance no deal and the E.U. Would come running to us there's little evidence the E.U. Was going to come running to us but that was the approach. Well as his hero that's it there's a very sharp that of the prime minister after he lost the vote in the Commons I think he has become the cost to my knowledge the 1st leader of the opposition in the Democratic history of our country to refuse the invitation to an election if you. It's going to get quite difficult obviously but still John we've got what I was conveyed to our old friend the bookies and they've been they've been pretty united haven't they in saying that they still give the Tories the edge then any election yeah and that has been a Boris bounce if you look at the polls the conservatives are a most opinion polls double digit have a double digit figure lead over Labor but remember that the way the votes crumble in constituencies the way the way a long lived electoral landscape lies the conservatives need to be about 8 percent ahead to be sure of an overall majority so temper sent leaders is pretty fragile it was interesting to see the use of polio the other day where the public were asked regardless of their own political opinions what the they thought was the most likely outcome and a majority 57 percent said hung parliament and I think there's wisdom in the British public in that because it is the likeliest outcome of a general election parliament and so we may be a rinse and repeat job in which we have exactly the same stalemate at the other side of an election and the conservatives would have to hold their ground otherwise labor ministration to Jeremy Corbyn a minority administration might be invited to to form a government the biggest single problem the conservatives face going into an election in Scotland where things are looking bleak for the conservatives whereas they performed they over performed on the roof Davidson in 2017 not looking so good so considers going to have to make up any ground they lose in Scotland by capturing leave Labor leave seats in the north of England and there's no guarantee that they will do that but when Parliament is the likelie
