Good evening and welcome welcome to Africa news tonight from the English to Africa Service of the Voice of America your source for Pan African news and world developments I m he used to he but in Washington coming up on Africa news tonight we cannot have citizens want everything and we just continue on and which we like it that Scott how while president of the Cameroon People s Party who is among those calling for a boycott of Sunday s election details coming up also President Trump met with the Kenyan president a little Kenyatta yesterday and discussed a future trade deal between the 2 countries as well as security matters we will have Ed discussion next on Africa news tonight. President Trump met with Kenyan president a little Kenya to yesterday to discuss a future trade deal between the 2 countries the meeting between the 2 leaders was also expected to focus on security and countering extremism 3 Americans were killed last month including a service member and 2 contractors and several u.s. Aircraft were destroyed at the military base on Kenya s coast it was the 1st attack against the u.s. Military in Kenya to brief us on Kenyatta s visit to the u.s. We have in studio. Wood from v a ways Swahili service welcome to Africa. News Tonight Show Court thank you for inviting me again so she called Let s start out about this future trade deal between Trump and can get there. And Trump met at the White House yesterday and they came out saying that they are going to start trade deal trade between Kenya and the United States President Trump has ordered his trade representative Robert lights are to go to the Congress and start negotiation because it s a process it s a long process they have to get the approval of the Congress they have to inform the Congress so it s a business the trade deal that came is waiting for for very much Kenya to want to help his people the youth especially who needs jobs so by bringing trade American trade to America to Kenya it will help a lot create new jobs and infrastructure and all of that he challenges American investors to go to Kenya and help Kenya in infrastructure i.c.t. Health tourism and a lot of other things because apart from talking with Trump he talked with the u.s. Chamber of Commerce and he talked at the Atlantic Council so he laid out Kenya s need to increase relations between Kenya and the United States yesterday what we heard a lot was East Africa s economic hub of Kenya is of strategic importance in the u.s. His efforts to counter the influence of China as well as Russia what was that all about reality Kenya is a very good partner with China when we look at China investment in Africa Kenya is one of the countries which is gaining a lot of help from China especially when you look at the new s g drivetrain between Mombasa which is going to go to Uganda South Sudan and d r c And then you have a lot of investments of Chinese in different parts of Africa Russia. Is working a lot in helping African countries militarily and so I m Erica is like a late coming in the game so I think this one is one of the things that the United States wants to do and especially Kenya strategically because of al Shabaab inside Somalia when we fight terrorism near Yemen so you Kenya and I use the main point in the Indian Ocean so it s like catch up better still Kenya was the 1st African country to sign the new Pan African free trade agreement the world s largest common market so wouldn t this bilateral free trade deal that the u.s. Undermined the Pan-African free trade agreement specifically insisted on this it said it will help African countries what it is going to do it s going to be the 1st trade agreement which he says it s going to be based on by letter of relations so it s going to upset open the door for other African countries but what he was saying is that the African trade between African countries is opening that big market which was agreed on or ratified in the last year so there is no competition between that side he insisted and we have to we have to insist that it is Kenya sub in the Sub-Saharan Africa because with Morrocco United States have a trade agreement so this is going to help African countries African countries trying to improve trade between themselves but right now African countries profiting or gaining a lot of market in the United States because of Al Gore and King after a few of that Al Gore is going to expire in 2025 so this agreement will enhance what has been going along with it go up and lastly the big elephant in the room the discussion on security and counterterrorism matters definitely the United States with Africa it s helping a lot African countries and Kenya being one part where we know that our. Shabab attack that camp where the Americans were and there were some Merican who were killed so it is very strategic for its fight against terrorism in the Horn of Africa very strategic in the Central African Republic together with Uganda So Kenya is a hub just like as it is in the share in West Africa or South Africa where they are trying to build all that so African is using Kenya as an important place to fight terrorism.

To grading Sonny for nearly 2 decades in tournaments after tournaments tennis bans have crossed their fingers with the hope of witnessing a made up between on court rivals Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal So when Friday s match for Africa was announced late last year the event became the hottest ticket in Cape Town months ago event organizers put $48000.00 tickets on sale and they sold out within minutes match for Africa 6 is being held in Cape Town Stadium and with a capacity of over $50000.00 it will likely be the largest tennis attendance in history and Roger Federer says the event could only be done a lot. Side rough in the Dom from a it was only by Rufford who could could make this event truly special for the people here. Because I have the connection to Rafa if maybe somebody can bring him down to South Africa to me and I asked him and he said yes right away we ve been fighting over a date for the last 2 years so I finally got one out of him Federer and a doll faced each other in the inaugural match for Africa back in 2010 and ahead of Friday s match Federer spoke about his admiration for his upcoming opponent and his growth as a player you know I remember Rafa when he was younger and he was so shy and he was look he was looking up to me and he said whatever Roger once I m happy with that and then he grew out of it much stronger character you know and we had still a good time but obviously the rivalry grew. As we wanted to a 2 and one the whole time and then today I think with all the time that has passed we see that we are on the final stretch in some ways and we see life also very differently but I think we have all to respect for one another like out for any anybody who has achieved as much as he has regardless of all the records that he s about to break up mine or vice versa I think we re happy for one another and so for me I m very happy and very excited that he s he s here in Capetown coming and playing you know again in a completely different place and difference around us that we ve ever even been and so it s going to be going to be wonderful wife an adult also spoke about his special relationship with Federer ahead of the match saying quote Roger and I have shared so many magical moments on and off the court traveling with him to Cape Town and playing for the benefit of children is something I m very excited about it will be my 1st time in the region with Roger as a tour guide that will be fun and Federer might well be a suitable tour guide although Friday s match will be the 1st match for Africa to actually be played on African soil it takes place in the country. Letterers mother is from which he says makes the event even more special in each of his 5 previous match for Africa events that are raised in excess of $1000000.00 a figure he hopes to repeat on Friday and with Nidal on board plus a celebrity doubles match featuring Microsoft founder Bill Gates and South African comedian Trevor Noah Federer says that amount is likely to be surpassed we hope to raise yes at least a 1000000 dollars I think it s going to be more than that. Of his coming to take it sales from sponsors but then also we have a foundation dinner the night before where Bill Gates is also taking part and you know we were getting together and having a nice chat also with rough until we were going to get together so you add all these things together and I think we re going to raise essential money all proceeds from Friday s match will go to the Roger Federer Foundation that supports children s education in Africa and Federer says he prefers to stay behind the scenes of his organization and let the work speak for itself I ve been rather shy to be honest to to to make. These matches. For Africa because I always felt a little bit uncomfortable shouting about charitable work I just feel like it s something I do with passion but it does shine a light on the larger p.

Under 4 hours and Mellberg I was on the brink of losing the match Dominic is a fantastic tennis player that plays with tremendous amount of power in the shot specially from the 4 inside he was a slice very well so you disrupted my rhythm in my game at one point and he was a better player I mean one point and probably one shots separated us tonight the team expected that razor thin margin either way against one of the big 3 men s players that include Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal nobody is part of 3 guys who are by far based players ever to play tennis and if you play a Grand Slam finals against them I mean it s always going to be. A match for. Every small details are deciding a 26 year old team was completely drained after his door with a 32 year old joke of it very rarely felt physically that tired especially. After all that then she s gone on enough plates believe when things Michigan straw for such intense Michoacan sashaying the sameas. Today again I think almost 4 hours so that was very demanding because the match was so close he feels comfortable he did what he could maybe I could have scored to break one in the 4th said it s where I could have the leads to warm but then I think you had some issues in the 2nd set to recover their role he played really good after in said 3 and 4 and of course there were some small mistakes here and there but it s there have been eating and. The super close 5 center and I don t drill e regret anything joke of it says it s been a long start to the year which will take even longer for him to reflect on I feel exhausted you know it s been very successful but a long month here in Australia and I well probably won t be able to.

The season. Sets the rest of the year. That privilege to. Big tournament for a. Start of the season with a grand slam when you know significant. Or. Your expectations are quite high you know for the rest of the season but whatever happens the season is already successful. So I knew I had to take my chance I had to be brave had claimed to have a grand slam champion obvious back to her she played a really tough match and every point it was such a battle and a lot of moving a lot of emotions on court from both sides and I knew I needed to come up with the best shot and 5 shots in my life.

Spain 21 year old cannon is the youngest American woman to win the Australian Open since arena Williams in 2002. Final paper the confidence to close up a match that s the game that I feel like changed and I had to play some best tennis . After that I was on fire and I was ready to take. Agrees that game was the turning point it was very important much of the. Match I think she found very very good shots. And especially in moments I think she. And. Just hitting the ball very good the 2 time Grand Slam champion just could not keep up even though she felt she played well I think. I didn t find my shot I think I didn t on my show it s. A little bit of energy. And physically what the there so you know. Right now it s true you know it s. An incredible tournament takes the runner up. You know I try to. Be too dramatic you know Ok last match was important one but I m here you know I gave myself a chance to to.

Radio 5 Live in the coolest thing you can say this is b.b.c. 5 live the college get out today we ve been expecting this isn t It was a big moment in terms of the political administration of Boris Johnson with his majority Huawei has been granted that role in delivering u.k. 5 Jay is just saying we ll bring you more on that as we have it. That is the latest we were waiting for that or wait to go ahead will be excluded apparently from sensitive geographic locations such as nuclear sites and military bases but Boris Johnson s government decided that Huawei will be granted that role in providing that infrastructure there was some issue around the fact that perhaps he wouldn t go ahead with that and then that would have been a breaking of a manifesto commitment early on into his tenure as a prime minister with this sort of majority but he has gone ahead with it that is the decision that is despite much criticism on his own benches by conservatives who are concerned about the Chinese state backed company having this sort of role in our infrastructure we will have more on that for you as we get it but Huawei has been given the green light to play that role in rolling out 5 g. In the cafe more on that very short day well tomorrow another big decision the transport secretary Grant Shapps is expected to decide whether to strip Northern of the contract to run its services which he has called completely unacceptable the company began operating the franchise in 2016 but can see customers say that they ve had to put up with poor service appalling punctuality and overcrowded trains because the shops waited 5 breakfast earlier and told Rachel Byrne He shared the frustrations of Northern commissioners Mike in the service there is completely unacceptable I m going to be saying more about it this week and so for commuters on nor them I share their frustrations of frustrated commuter myself and we absolutely have to get it resolved but you also owned by a river it would be a total fog wouldn t it if you just gave them another contract even if it was in some way altered you re inviting me to sort of make it illegal choice that I will make in the next few days and by the end of this month but you know it is the case that the tsunami acceptable level of service and not Absolutely. Determined there and elsewhere in the country to simply get on trains running on time which should not be too much to ask in a sort of civilised country so says the transport section I m sure many of you will agree with him and look forward to what he ll be doing about it well ending McDonald is the m.p. For Middlesbrough and the shadow transport secretary he would like his opposite number to strip Northern of that contract we have an operator of last resort which is the public sector body for sure that s been privatized but nevertheless it does represent the States intervening in taking over the railway in one god or another and I think people in the north of England had enough of a river running dreadful service and tones on why we don t do it ourselves and I think all the evidence is all the service that I ve seen demonstrate that real nationalization is extremely popular so I would suggest that the transport secretary gets on with it gets it done it s interesting we had a message straight end when I was talking to Andy McDonald and he was so he bought the merits of nationalisation we were getting into Network Rail in the fail is that which of course is state owned Gary had said and I want to read this out to him but didn t get the chance nationalized industry didn t work and won t work in the future it is a dinosaur We also spoke about the Labor leadership price with Mr McDonald who is backing Rebecca long Bailey often characterized as a continuity candidate for Mr Coburn and some of his evidence for why that would work again in a general election even though it provided with the same sorts of people who are around Mr Corbett even though it provided the worst election defeat for Labor since the 20 since 925 he actually says that he s looked into this and nationalization of rail was a popular policy amongst faces and actually it was all to do with Brett c. May have a take on the 5058 but it isn t just camisa is feeling the pain spare a thought for the people who work for nor than those who have to deal with the wrath of customers Dave is a train driver for new. Although that s not his real name he spoke to us before we came on or and to keep him anonymous one of our producers has reversed his words it s a bit embarrassing because things are just so so dire things have definitely deteriorated since since the new franchise started in 2060 as a work force you feel like the company breaks a lot of promises that it s made to staff to improve things on the ground it doesn t feel like they re interested in making things better for the Star in fact the reality is it s just got a lot worse it s really demoralizing to work for such a shoddy outfit we were scruffy tatty uniforms that you know we have to we have to practically have to beg to get replacements for when they re when they re worn out and we come to work on a railway that the company doesn t care for and we don t feel cared for by the company the quality of the railway that we re involved in in running is poor and it s demoralizing and it s embarrassing you know I think the region deserves better I think staff deserve better we get staff discounts we travel around the country on the railway and our free time. Anybody that s been a passenger down south and up north can can tell you that there s glaring differences. You have traveled around by rail working in the industry in year it s you know the electrification that we were promised up here has been canceled you can you can travel around down south and you can see the work going on we definitely neglected as a region and we feel that in the northern bit of the rail industry just as much as everywhere else and you ve also got concerns about you know. Driver training just talk to me a bit about that there s been a lot of new trains to the company and they re mostly not new trains on the railway but they are new to Northern So getting people trained up so that they can you know operate the services that with those trains has been a big priority for the company and they basically seem to be willing to sacrifice pretty much anything else at the expense of that they certainly don t have enough numbers to cover training people without using overtime and they re just using bags and bags and bags of overtime and before Christmas they were in such a rush to get everybody trained on the new trains that you were seeing Judy s uncovered all over the place on the rosters at work because people were just off being trained and without the overtime you know if people weren t picking up those shifts What kind of impact would that have on the services we re already seeing lots of uncovered duties now if the rest day working agreement between the union and the company would stop I think it would be. It we worse than Southern even Southern at its worst one of the complaints that we sort of you know heard about is overcrowding and people not being able to get onto the trains I mean as a driver does that impact she was told to you kind of you know you feel the impact here we do we get people knocking on the window complaining to us we feel like we have to help the guards in managing you know managing the crowd control when things get really bad and at the end of the day we do have a responsibility for making the final decision that it s safe to move the train and levels of overcrowding do play a part in making that decision even something that seems as trivial as being able to get out of the cab if you have an overcrowded train that becomes difficult is not just unsafe for the passengers it can severely get in the way of us doing our job you know when things aren t going to plan yes you could just sit in the cabin have people knocking on the window and ignore the noise that s going on behind you but most people just can t do that if the government decides it s a franchise the way would you would you but their decision I don t think a Tory government is a friend to any working people so. You know while I would back the decision to confiscate the franchise from Riva it would leave questions from me and my colleagues about well you know what s going to come next. I personally feel that the the Tory government has for a long time now wanted a showdown with the rail unions a May be it would use a franchise that operates directly as a as a key battleground to do that so yeah there are reasons for us to fear being taken back into government hands but then we look at the l n e r franchise has been in and out of government hands for years well years and years now it was National Express then it came back in-house that it was virgin Wesco So it s come back in-house again and it doesn t seem to have worked out too badly for them at Ellenwood to a blindly cheerleader but would definitely like to see the back of the river. I don t mean the industry has to have a bleak future it just feels like that at the moment you go and insights from Dave he s a train driver for nor the not his real name he spoke to us on the condition of being anonymous a northern space person said we ve delivered on our commitment to increase the number of train services we now operate 2000 more services each week than at the start of the franchise This means we deliver 30 percent more train miles in 2019 than in 2016 by the end of the air almost 110000000 journeys were made using Northern trains in 2019 that s a record for the North which got a lot of messages in off the back of hearing Dave from people in working in similar jobs with quite a lot of sympathy safe to say one I thought was very interesting is this one which says I d like to remain anonymous but listening to that northern train driver I felt a certain amount of sympathy I m a captain for want what was once the world s favorite line and everything he said resonates with life with him be a where working to the legal limit relying on overtime and we to have to beg to exchange credit cheap uniforms not fit for purpose why because the costs have to remain flat and profit has to be made that s life in the big bad world but it s the worst I have seen in 25 years so you know be close to affecting safety in the interest of profit I imagine it s the same across swathes of industry in the u.k. Tom forth has joined me now in the studios head of data at the Open Data Institute lays he knows everything about rail in the north of England in particular what s gone wrong at Northern did you get here on a train I did not so there I use northern trains a lot but the tram master says to be safe yeah also as an archer and stationary disarray so minor data tram is the choice you know the trial I mean the trams got enough gaps in its service as well but the point is it s not a joke nor that has failed doesn t it I think any passenger who regularly use an oven rail would say it s failed the last year there s not very few people will have had an acceptable service the last year and it keeps happening there s a. You know the call and get a train on time you can t necessarily get a seat it s just Roulette yet you often can t get on so there s lots of trains cancelled every morning and then when the train doesn t arrive it s 2 carriages instead of 4 and you can t get on the thing so you re waiting another half an hour and people around the country will know often trains and tube trains to Tubers to go on but another one might be there in 15 minutes it can be an hour or half an hour in an office so yeah it s not good enough and I think I ve embarrassed myself a little bit I m embarrassed myself again today but 2 years ago I was saying to people who were moaning about Northern I m saying look there s new trains coming there s investment being made soon it will be better and they look back and they said Sue Well it s a bit longer than soon now and it s still not really improved I don t think so I would guess that again hopefully soon it will be better but how often can you keep saying soon hold that thought because we re just going to get an update on another infrastructure decision and a breaking story as we are on because as I was just saying before we saw a discussion about Northern The government has announced Chinese mobile company who are way is to have a limited role in the u.k. 5 j but it is to have a role Gordon Corera who s the b.b.c. Security correspondent what do we know what do we know is that we ve just had this announcement and it s basically the way is in but with strict restrictions on where and how it operates now what the government is saying is that it will be kept out of critical infrastructure will be kept out of a core of the telecoms network that s the kind of brains which controls where data goes ill how it will be kept out away from sensitive geographic locations that means nuclear sites military bases and other suppliers will also be used and who always role will be limited to about 35 percent of the network so that sounds pretty tough but it s worth saying that still means they are in the network when critics had called for them to be excluded entirely. It was too much of a security risk but clearly the government has believed the advice they ve got from their security officials which is that the risk can be managed through these particular restrictions placed on the company and how they suspect real people s lives day to day because we always get listeners getting in such saying could you source out. The full Gee I d quite like those things to be in place before this Athens Well I mean this is the thing about a 5 g. Is that at the moment all it is is a bit faster and it s being rolled out in cities already with who are way equipment potentially though 5 g. Is transformative because it will have data and senses everywhere which will allow computers data data or machines to all talk to each other and move seamlessly between each other now what does that mean in practice what it means is you can have things like smart cars driving around cities it means your house will be smarter and sensors will be everywhere knowing when you ve been needs to be able to do or when more power needs to be routed to a particular part of a city medicine might be able to be done remotely in more ways to tell you medicine there s all kinds of transformative possibilities with 5 g. But as you can hear from some of those examples it will involve collecting a lot more data about you and about your life or about a city or about how things operate and we will become more dependent upon that technology and that s why it s a different kind of national security risk from previous G. s if you like which was simply about phone calls data read and the communications on your phone and that s why people said Is there a risk in allowing a Chinese company given what we know about China to play a part in that infrastructure and why some people have been so opposed to having any role are you surprised by the decision this is the way been heading I think this is what people expected the briefings had all been heading that way partly because if you listen to the mood music from politicians they were saying well we take national security very seriously we were telling the risks with it but economic growth and prosperity is important and the true. About about this is that not use who our way in 5 g. Would have meant effectively ripping it out of the places where it s already in the network and slowing down the adoption of this new technology and so it was this complicated balance between the economic costs of not using hallway the potential national security risks of doing it which perhaps can be managed and then this geo political issue of the trumpet ministration lobbying very hard I mean it was always a tough decision but I think all the signs had been this was the way it was going the easy potentially the manage the security risks your security correspondent I mean what can we say in terms of if you are listening to this and you quite worried well what should you be thinking when you process this information well I think the experts and I know you know you hear a lot about should we trust the experts but the experts who really understand these telecoms industries in infrastructure say you can manage the risks now you can mitigate the risk doesn t mean you can eliminate it but what I think what they re hoping is that even if China tried to do something through this company in the company say that s that something they d never do it would be spotted the it could be the network could be reconfigured so there wouldn t be a problem about it in other words you can manage those risks now there are other people who think the risk the real risk is that in 20 years time Chinese technology will be dominant and this is a step on the way to having Chinese technology dominant and then in 2030 years will be living in a world in which the Chinese tech companies are basically owning all of our data and running all of the networks and then they will have a kind of hold on our lives which some people find disturbing but that s a possibility and that s one of the tricky things with this judgment it s trying to balance what those long term possibilities might be with the short term economic costs and the diplomatic costs thank you very much Gordon clever thing is in the pitch of the vcs security. Correspondent on that breaking news that the government has announced a decision on where this will allow Huawei to build the 5 and it has although it has stressed it will be limited we were discussing another big decision form the transport secretary Grant Shapps about whether Northern should have its franchise stripped Tom 4th is with me in the studio head of data at the Open Data Institute Leeds you re in a situation where you said you d hoped things would be better by now is northern it hasn t shown that it will be what do you think the next step is so we re getting quite a lot of mixed messages I think the government have been talking about maybe taking on the national control for months now and they still haven t I don t think announced anything yet so it feels like northern If a feeling is passed the last chance that it is going to happen that s my feeling and what we ll do that is put direct rail services probably in charge of it so it s like all the franchises that fail and presumably they ll have to make a big decision about what to do next and that is another challenge because at the moment as a huge review out called The Williams review into what the future of railways will look like in the u.k. It s about fares franchising all kinds of things that was meant to be our I think Autumn 2019 because I looked on the website last night so it s meant to be out and the website still says it will be coming in autumn 2019 and I don t think we can get trains on time and we can t get reports about trains on time yeah that s the report on fixing the late running trains is itself late running and without that report I mean I think most people in the industry seem to feel about reports had a really good look at what needs to happen what s gone wrong and how we fix it but until it s in the public and we can all read it I don t think we know what s going to happen so it s going to be more sticking type I think whatever the government chooses to do does not make sense so I think nationalization is Ok so some people say ah it s brilliant to take it under and a national control some people say no. Franchising is a mazing we shouldn t basically nationalization is does nothing bad with it what can happen that s bad with nationalization is if you make promises right so if you say for example they are going to cut fares in half and you can t afford to do that where are you going to find the money and that s that s more likely with nationalization but there are plenty of countries all around the world that run rail services either nationalized all franchised and in both cases they work well and I think that the Williams review will kind of say something similar there s a big underlying problems one of them in the u.k. Is the nationalized part of r.l. Way so Network Rail is nationalized the investment that has not happened in the north of England that causes so many of the problems that that we re talking about was a failure of a nationalized industry in a nationalized company so nationalization doesn t fix everything I suspect that people saying it will fix everything or exaggerating but also people who are saying it s the end of the world it won t work they re exaggerating to where I mean. Plenty of franchises of run for quite a long time under national control and they ve they ve worked pretty well. We ll see what happens Tom for thank you very much head of data at the Open Data Institute you have a speedy journey thank you back to wherever you re going now more now on those proposed changes to the immigration rules which would bring you up to date with skilled migrants from outside the currently need to have a job offer with a minimum salary of $30000.00 pounds to work where the migration advisory committee is recommending that this should be reduced by more than 4000 pounds in order to help create teachers and skilled n.h.s. Stuff I m affairs correspondent on the show has more the migration advisory committee says that if the government adopts that change together with some other changes that they re recommending in this $270.00 page report the overall effect would be that you would have lower immigration increased productivity and improvement in the public finances reduce pressure on schools the n.h.s. And housing but increased pressure on social care social care is a sector which they say really struggles to attract workers because they don t offer competitive rates of pay and that s a real issue Mike Padron runs care homes in Scarborough his chair of the independent care group might welcome to the program. How will these recommendations help you with recruitment. Was a step in the right direction but doesn t go far enough because social care is always difficult to recruit in the Currently there are 100000 more than 100000 people looking for vacancies in social care today and this doesn t go far enough and as the m a c says it s a much wider issue and something we got to tackle because because it s been ignored for far too long so what do you want to see happen. Well I think if we re talking about migration we need to get that salary cap lowered even further because sadly many social care staff do not get 25000 pounds a year far from it what we need. To do is we need the government to grasp this problem and settle it because Boris Johnson did say when he stepped on the steps number 10 he said you can solve the social care problems once parolees failed and I hope the pressure will show that social care isn t a crisis that he ll deal with it because we want to be at the pay stuff more to make them more competitive but we re in a vicious perfect storm to say this is about you trying to get workers from overseas and pay them a certain level of this is about trying to get workers here well I think we need both to be honest it is estimated that by 2035 we re going to need more than half a 1000000 more social care stuff in this country to cope with the aging population where they re coming from the reason the stuff in England we need to from overseas if I just go back to my own locally we employ 160 staff and 15 of those currently are from Europe and without them we couldn t function and I know many care providers would be in the same boat is without people from overseas we just can t deliver the service that people in this country need. When you come and work in this field well you ll be in many cases not far about the national living wage which is not far far enough basically But the the government has ignored this issue for if I just tell you this over the last 20 years we ve had said 13 different papers trying to sort out social 12 different social chemist as each one s ignored it and that s why we re in the problem we re in today is going to cost more to live a social care in the future people eat and earn more but it s going to cost the taxpayer more eventually and you re looking today for this committee about migration Well I don t think they can solve the social care problems I would like them to is that I mean they have put some pressure on the government but they said it is not in respect of migration we don t like that salary cap to come down further to to bring social care stuff in from overseas but they re put the problem back to government to say is not in there or it s about making sure we re not competitive enough that I go back to govern and say well we need help on funding then you re starving local authorities of money to pay Social Care stuff properly and more in that perfect storm as I said earlier is 2 issues m.a.c. Is one but I think it s the government I hold. Count I mean I have written to Morris Johnson invited in to see social care on the front line not an answer none of the ministers in the green paper has been public postpone at least 6 times I believe since 2017 the count keeps getting kicked down the road so what about this comment from the home secretary pretty Patel who said at the weekend that British firms have been relying on cheap labor for too long. Well our audience are often said social care staff aren t paid enough but a lot of the work is delivered on behalf of the gum through local authorities who couldn t stop to cash them selves we want to buy stuff more we need to charge local It is more they need to have funding from the government and their families being cut by billions of pounds since 2010 the government has got to step in and prop up the social care system to house our service so I go back to the government that s got to solve this problem they keep talking about having crossed party talks but that s all we seem to do talk about it we don t solve the problem and I personally have problems feeling shifts this weekend alone next week and next year and beyond is a crisis the government want to tackle and the baby with bricks it nearly finished this week or at least part one finished they need to come and put social care as the top of their agenda my part in their life on the front line of social care running calves in Scarborough and chair of the independent care group asking for the government for decisions were decisions aplenty in the sense of while another decision expected tomorrow. This week about northern and the franchise another one in the injury for Boris Johnson and his government is that of social care more on that to come we re also going to be talking about as we ve just heard in there and of the 1st phase if you like of Brecht s it it is happening on Friday and you have been getting in touch with what you re writing to the if you could say goodbye to it what would you say 85 o 5 a if you had to think of something to write what comes to that in just a moment get you thinking caps on joy in the news it s 1231.

Ceri leaving her there what would you put in the cart 285909693 getting your messages in on that and one of the things we want to do on the program this year is follow the work of M.P. s who are campaigning to get changes to things that matter to them and their constituents M.P. s like the David a Mrs set up an all party parliamentary group for and Dimitrios is after being approached by a constituent who suffers from the chronic condition is launching an inquiry into the diagnosis care and challenges of enemy choices which an estimated one in 10 women suffer from so David Amis joins me now as does Lacey Pascha Robinson his day job is the opinion editor at The Huffington Post she s 29 but is currently going through a chemically induced men opposed because she suffers from and Demetrius is a woman to both of you good afternoon thank you Lynn Emma thank you to both of you for coming on today Mayor So actually would you just ask how long did it take to get that diagnosis because I think more of the issue probably is some of your answers yeah absolutely I think mine is. Something of a classic story in that it took probably the best part of 10 years to arrive at a kind of definitive Dec diagnosis I ve had quite a few kind of red herring diagnoses before. Painful periods i.b.s. . You know I changed poor diet I kind of received every possible explanation from doctors apart from the correct one and it took a lot of advocating for me to arrive at a diagnosis to come back to your condition away with that in just a moment but he comes he said David why the interest of what he had been to achieve well even though I come from a female dominated hell support of white children for which it goes on you absolutely nothing a troll. Says and it was true a constituent call it Chrissy coming to me at one of my trees describing the suffering that she experiences but my interest in the subject and what are you hoping to change. Well as we ve just heard from your other guest the average time of diagnosis is 7 years which is crazy so I allow the parliamentarians we ve set up an all party parliamentary group and then the beginning of February we re going to launch then cooperate looking at the impact the lengthy diagnosis has on a person s mental health challenges in accessing campaign knowledge and the impact the condition has on other aspects a person s life including their mental health and Chris they. Would take place in March at the end of it we want to present to ministers the government findings and we intend to hold them to account hold you to account the government and the ministers so that hopefully will agree with us. Once we formulated all the responses we. Send it out questionnaires. Literally to thousands of people we look forward to cancel those responses and then at the end of the inquiry we ll have the findings analyzed. Jew lawyer and then hopefully will come up with a number of recommendations which we hope we can persuade the government to agree with and then to trespass the 3 main points which is a purpose apparent quadrature of just described Yes I mean the issue here is one of on the front line g.p.s. Not necessarily knowing anything about and me chases around for long enough to refer so that can be very difficult to effect change. But we have a shortage of 3 pieces we know in any case it takes a long time to train them but my colleagues are not to be defeatist in this if it s one in 10 women affected by this terrible disease who are going through dreadful agony and we have some people parliamentarians who have 3 illness as well we we just want to make sure that the government prioritizes this and in so doing fine Streep with real expertise. I mean that the thing to say Heron are you know a regular listeners of this program know I do suffer with this condition that s not why we re doing this story within the story because of sedated I was doing this and there is now a greater level of discussion about is still not enough I also didn t. Want any 20 years for me the thing I was trying to stress is you can t be diagnosed without a laparoscopy which is a key ho surgery which can see it because it doesn t show up and scans as well a lot of people say to me why did it take 20 years that I have a saliva test today they say no I absolutely and I think one of the key points that is yet awareness of this condition has increased people are when. You Sanda me choices you re not met as often as with kind of a gaping mouth and and Dimitri wot you know there is that when it hasn t yet translated into the research and into furthering the treatments available for this to this diagnose this disease so for example when you go into your g.p. And you present with certain symptoms. They don t immediately jump to the conclusion that that could be what you re suffering with because of a whole host of reasons that there are enormous amount of misconceptions about what period should be as as you well know Emma Yeah I mean it is extraordinary how you can go in and talk about these various issues and that s not the conclusion that is drawn just to talk to you about your treatment because the other big myth to bust is there s no cure for and to me says there are different ways of trying to manage symptoms how have you come to the decision if it if it was that perhaps it was advice to you to have a chemically inducement of course. Well this isn t my 1st rodeo as they say. I ve already had this treatment in the past as you say this is a chronic condition there isn t currently any cure for it so suffer as including myself end up having recurrent treatments a very period of years I ve already had 2 surgeries to the 1st to diagnose the condition and the 2nd to remove and to make choices that was causing me a lot of pain can I just interrupt this point I m sorry to do so but we haven t actually said to Beatrice this is the build up of cells which represent the lining of the womb on other parts of the body and don t leave your body during the period as they should and when you talk about surgery you re actually talking about surgery to remove that buildup if I could put it like that just so people know when you say having and to Beatrice is removed what that means on the point is it grows back doesn t it absolutely yeah it does grow back as a as I saw so I ve had to have repeated surgeries and after the 2nd one I had a 1st man a pause treatment which is designed to lower your Eastridge in levels because it s thought that the disease thrives and grows with the production of Eastridge and so the theory is that if you go through the men a pause it will delay the gap kind of widen the gaps between treatment necessary and you 29 going through the. Chemically one of those but the metaphors I mean. Well I had some experience of it obviously as I ve been through it before but it is it is just as bit as every bit as fun as you can imagine really give us some of the symptoms everything from hot flashes nights where it s insomnia this treatment for me starts in November and I haven t had a good night s sleep since November. Brain fog makes it really difficult to concentrate. Even kind of bodily changes like weight gain in kind of the lower hips kind of saddlebag area. It I ve even found that my boobs have shrunk I don t know quite how that s possible but apparently the reduced estrogen makes that makes that happen. And what does that mean feel I don t know if you would like to to try to have children there are implications with a lot of women have had to be choices something to listen or always but there are with some what does that mean for you in that respect if you ve even thought that far ahead yeah I mean it s really difficult because I was diagnosed when I was 24 and mediately That s the 1st thing people ask you what does this mean for your fertility but actually for me it s been more about how do I get a handle on my pain and how do I not let this ruin my career and how do I not let this ruin my mental health and safety me that s been more of a priority as I kind of as I approach my thirty s it s obviously something I m thinking about and I guess it s something I ll just have to I have to cross that bridge when I come to it right I only asked the question because in the many pools element of this which is that you can reverse what you re doing because it s chemical is that right yes absolutely yeah I mean and just also to stress which just being sedated back in on this I mean the pain is extraordinary and excruciating and very debilitating and people do you miss work is part of your reports today that are you going to be looking in Sioux the funding gap there has been around research into female only conditions like this. Very much and if I can just say chill contributor all the horrors that she has just scribing have been shared with. My constituent caller Chrissy in and out of hospital very very depressing taking endless time off off of work and. I absolutely agree with the point that we also need to spend money on finding a cure to this and to get proper support for the mental health of the sufferers with trios says. Both of you are available and we re. To get that quality we would. Love to hear from you how do for us how do people do that we will advertise online. We re going to be help with the National. Organization. And then people could just go online and apply to get their. Thank you he said The question is traffic but just because of both got you on the phone it would be great to hear from. Personally Kwara. I m very happy to do so I mean very very open about this and I m sure you would too sedated Amish thank you very much t.v. I just give you the final word. This is while it s all very well intentioned and it s really important that it gets the spotlight and people are held to account over this and also people don t feel like they re going mad you know that the the effects are properly understood and heard one of the most frustrating things I find about having this condition and be different is that when you do know there s still no cure that s what s so difficult you still have to live with it yeah absolutely I mean it s so frustrating to know that probably in my lifetime in in the years where I want to be achieving the most in my twenty s I want to be building my career I want to be traveling and forming relationships I ve been so held back by this disease and I just think of the millions of women and the all of the wasted potential because of because of kind of their suffering so that s something that I really really hope this in this inquiry will will consider if to choose your moments you have to time things around when you know you won t be necessarily in pain if you re in that moment where you know when your cycle is going to be I sort of shed you various things not to happen when it s when it s for me a period everyone tries to manage it slightly different because it is no. You can sort of operate I think the best quote I ever read about it was from Hilary Mantel the author who suffered for years with this and she said everything I ve achieved I ve achieved in the teeth of this disease and teeth is actually such a good word you know if you know after I ve had direct experience with this you could be living with another different chronic pain condition but chronic pain is it s brutal and I think the thing about chronic pain of chronic illness is your well until one day you re not and it can have it really can happen to anyone and. It does change your life in the most drastic way I remember when I was 1st presenting you know I was having a particularly painful period that day and the beginning of the show stood up and I actually thought to myself how am I going to stand for 60 seconds and you know I did it in the end that s not boast in any way I hope it doesn t come across like that but I had to think about steeling myself for that you know adrenaline is very helpful but that s not good for you either it s a flood yourself with adrenaline and force yourself to do things but all the time and I recognize I have an incredibly easy job compared to people because most time I do get to sit down. And those people who are much more physical job women in all sorts of areas construction stocking shelves whatever it is I always think about how happy I am that I have never gone into anything physical I think it s also a disease it s rooted in a lot of historical oppression and societal expectations of of how how much pain is normal for a woman to suffer and suffering in silence also as a woman and I think in the workplace that s especially difficult it s hard to find a voice and be able to speak up without feeling as much as my employer is extreme and extremely supportive but it s hard to speak up without feeling like people are going to think less of you or. Judge you there s going to be some kind of stigma because periods are still so sick stigmatized and important to note as well the end retraces can cause pain all month long. Long as well so. Yes true we should definitely state that not everyone is the same with no stigma about here is a hype on this show I certainly cleared the airwaves for that I have been many ways and I do appreciate you coming to talk to us today about what you are going through and I hope the the men of Paul s treats you a bit kind even though you know a point where your 29 and shouldn t be in this situation so thank you so much for coming on Thank you Emma and good luck with it all the more follow that inquiry that s Lisi Pascha Robinson Well the veteran television and radio performer Nicholas Parsons total national treasure especially to those who listen week in week out to his radio program has died at the age of 96 here he is performing his role as chair on the long running Radio 4 panel show just a minute can it can you tell us something about my other self in 60 seconds starting now my other self and Peter called his challenge right away Peter the possibility of deviation Well the only deviation has occurred is the fellow never even started so it was a wrong challenge Peter but nice to hear from you and the this does now I know you re here as well and didn t miss your bus that s Nicholas Parsons getting Kenneth Williams and peace Cooke in check their check there Mr Parsons was meant to wear his an engineer in a shipyard he took up acting instead he spoken in the past about that decision and how he had to overcome dyslexia as stammer and his mother when I showed these signs of wanting to be a performer she freaked out because she thought everybody showpieces must be debased and deprived on ice for so we can ineffectual and the fact I was dyslexic but didn t understand it meant that I was very slow a writing and also having a very strong and dominant older brother whom I looked up to Mark tremendously maybe that inhibited me and the start or maybe the start arose because of that tone Lloyd is a television producer and presenter of Radio 4 was the Museum of curiosity he produced just a minute between 74 and 76 and Robin Ince presenter of Radio 4 was the Infinite Monkey Cage has appeared on just a minute as a. Analyst Well can see by John if I could start with you your what would you like to say about Nicholas Parsons. Very. Treasure I m a very nice guy credit card me when I was a. Baby. 22 took me under his wing. Extraordinary longevity and you know just a bit it just went on getting. Also not many people know very good actors well. You know if I think straight and very funny I member when as a child. Robin what do you want to say about Yes well don t pick up on what John said is well it s a fantastic career when you see how many different things he did you know the author Hank show being a straight man then he goes off and he s in he did so many British films of the sixty s the Major he was in one of the Carry On films you see one of the doctors Dr films he s in the last of the Miss Marple films as well with Margaret rather for and then he goes off and he becomes you know a t.v. Show host doing everyone the 2 things you remember when you think of Anglia all tales the unexpected and it s the quiz of the week you know and then he would be and always tremendously affable but for the 1st time I did just a minute I was absolutely terrified because yeah I d had 2 weeks of nightmares when Nicholas would appear in my nightmare just subject he s tea towels and I just see myself going. And everyone buzzing in and he was so kind and then when I actually got the 1st round that I had to do and I was doing quite well my brain had rehearsed you nightmare so often and then 40 seconds in just when I thought I might do it suddenly my brain said mention a t.v. Sitcom and sitcom The cat was Allo Allo. Straighten with repetition and I was like and it was going to Tokay It s Ok it s just a show but he was yeah very very very sweet yes this is what everyone seems to be saying and a very.

President Donald Trump will resume in the Senate with the Democrats final opening arguments and a nationally televised proceedings the acquittal is generally expected in the Republican majority Senate Democratic Party House managers have been passionately arguing that Mr Trump must be removed from office in his closing remarks on Thursday House Intelligence Committee chairman and lead house manager Adam Schiff separate tracks were clear we get more from the a.p. Soccer Macone the focus yesterday was on the 1st impeachment article abuse of power today it s on the 2nd obstruction of Congress to really have any doubt about the facts here is anybody really question whether the president is capable of what he s charged with as he finished last night lead impeachment manager Adam Schiff made an emotional plea to skeptical Republicans if right doesn t matter. We re lost but John Barrasso and other g.o.p. Senators are tired of what they say are the same arguments for hours and days it seems like Groundhog Day in the Senate the president s lawyers will start their case tomorrow Saugor Magni Washington President promised complaining about his defense team having to start its opening arguments on a Saturday which he called Death Valley on t.v.

News dot com online Gene Randall v.o.a. News. It s Friday January 24th and this is feel ways international edition I m Jason Patinkin in Washington coming up an expert on pandemic Control says China s strategy to control the corona virus outbreak is not likely to work all the evidence from a camp to quarantine suggests this is unlikely to be effective and I m Jaxon Van Gogh new and exclusive interview with the u.n. Research on the alleged hacking of Amazon found a Jeff Bezos phone by Saudi Arabia it s all on today s international edition. Democratic House impeachment managers continue to make their case that President Donald Trump s impeachment trial saying that he had abused power like no other presidents in history swept up by a Ukraine theory pushed by attorney really Giuliani today Democrats have their final day of arguments focusing on the 2nd article of impeachment obstruction of Congress s investigation Jackson County speaks in studio with us Jim Malone So Jim thank you for joining us today hours of arguments Democrats led by impeachment manager Representative Adam Schiff made that case on the 2nd day of impeachment trial how effective where they are. Well if you talk to Democrats they ll say that shift has made a very impressive kill use as has his current managers and what they see is the extent of President Trump s activities to try to enlist Ukraine to help him in his reelection effort now if you talk to Republicans and this is a key factor because what you have to ask is are they converting anyone so far it doesn t seem as though they are that the Republicans basically are sticking with the idea that they re basically giving the president the benefit of the doubt they re also complaining that the arguments are repetitive and go around for hours which that is the nature of an impeachment trial now this morning President Trump complained in a tweet that his defense will begin on a Saturday which he called quote Death Valley t.v. Is this to imply that not many people will be watching you have to remember that President trying to present just president he s an expert on t.v. And a former t.v. Producer from his show is a very keen understanding of how politics interacts with the public especially through the medium of television so he s worried that there s going to be a drop off in the audience but the way this works is Democrats had 3 days to present their opening arguments and Republicans will also get the same time after that there will be a period of a couple of days or so for questioning and then of course the key issue will be well Democrats be able to convince just a few Republicans to support their claim for additional witnesses people like former national security adviser John Bolton so you know a prosecution wraps up today senators I ve had to sit through long hours of presentations Let s talk about format and rules you know Senate impeachment trial rules stipulate that there s no talking that there s no fall there s no you know you can t even get coffee but we have seen that some senators have struggled with even staying attentive how much of this has been an issue I guess you have to be a little sympathetic there spose. To sit there for hours on end some of them like to get up move around a star Cory Booker talking about this the need to keep moving they grab the candy and other snacks from the desk so it is a struggle especially senators are not used to being quiet and just sitting there and that s going to have to be the way it goes until the end of the trial so as the president s defense gets ready to attack the flow tomorrow what should we be expecting more of this week and next week we re going to hear the president and his lawyers trying to tear apart the case basically say nothing happened and that certainly if anything did go Iraq it s not worth the elevating it to a level of impeachment and actually removing the president from office so they re going to have their time to make their case the president needs to stay that was you know is Jim Malone joining us and studio thank you Jim Sure. China ramped up measures to contain a new virus that has killed 26 people and infected more than 800 China has locked down almost a dozen cities affecting some 36000000 people and China announced Friday that it is building a 1000 bed hospital dedicated to patients infected with the new virus Beijing has also shut down temples and closed the forbid in city and also closed part of the Great Wall the 2 week Lunar New Year holiday began Friday raising fears that the infection rate could accelerate as hundreds of millions of people travel to their homes and abroad in what is usually a festive time of year in will hon where the illness has been concentrated normally bustling streets malls and other public spaces were eerily quiet Friday masks were mandatory in public and images from the city showed empty store shelves as people stocked up for what could be an extended isolation hospitals and we were grappling with a flood of patients and a lack of supplies videos circulating online showed throngs of frantic people in masks lined up for checks the World Health Organization has declared the new coronavirus an emergency for China but stop short of the Clearing the epidemic of international concern well most of the cases and all of the deaths have been in China and the virus has also been detected in Thailand Vietnam Singapore Japan South Korea Taiwan and the United States it was likely Britain who also had cases a health official said there is no vaccine available yet but Gilead Sciences which developed an experimental of both the treatment said it is assessing whether that treatment could be used on the new corona virus 3 other research teams were starting work on vaccines as well the coalition for epidemic preparedness innovations said For more on what it will take to halt the outbreak I spoke earlier with Dr Eric Toner an expert on pandemic preparedness at Johns Hopkins University near Washington d.c. . We are seeing a rapid rise in the number of confirmed cases but we don t know whether this is due to the rapid spread of the disease or whether this is a result of a backlog in reporting test results from previous patients but certainly the numbers are beginning to become quite concerning one can easily imagine that this will get to the level of the number of SARS patients fairly quickly already approaching a number of patients for the. That s with the MERS virus so far China s main approach to halting the outbreak seems to be locking down cities this seems to be a pretty unprecedented or unusual strategy is it is an effective means to stopping an outbreak Well it is unprecedented no one has ever no country has ever tried to do Geographic quarantine on this scale but all the evidence from past attempts at quarantine suggests that this is unlikely to be effective the typical response of the population to quarantine is to try to escape this was seen in previous outbreaks and previous attempts at quarantine including in West Africa during a bowl and in China during SARS it is very difficult to try and block every mode of transportation around the city of of 11000000 people people will find a way to get around the barriers so what is a perhaps better approach to limit the spread of the disease the 1st question is can you limit the spread of the disease if this disease is like SARS in that it doesn t transmit readily within the community then it s containable by good infection control practices within hospitals and that s largely why SARS was contained because the disease was not contagious for the most part out in amongst families or in the workplace or out in the community it was only very contagious within when people were desperately sick and hospitals if it turns out that this virus is being readily transmitted in the community setting then it probably is not containable there s been some talk about that scenes and developments including the experimental or bowl of vaccine how quickly could a vaccine be developed for this and could that even help bring it under control there will likely be. See many candidate vaccines that is scientists who come up with a vaccine that they think is promising in the laboratory but then these have to get into animal studies and then they have to go into human studies and this process takes months even even at the most Excel or a good rate for know where the vaccine actually works and whether it is actually safe and then it has to be manufactured on this global scale and then distributed and ministered to those people so we don t yet have a vaccine for SARS we don t have a vaccine for MERS both of these diseases been around for many many years we don t have a vaccine for most of the emerging infectious disease of the last couple decades so I would be very spry very pleased but very surprised if we had a vaccine that makes any difference in the growth of this epidemic thanks very much next on a really appreciate it you re welcome. Tens of thousands of Iraqis rallied in central Baghdad Friday after prominent Shia cleric milk Tata all solder called for a quote 1000000 strong and quote protest against u.s. Military presence in the country the March follows the u.s. Killing of Iranian general custom Soleimani and an Iraqi military chief as well as rocket attacks from Iran around linked militias on u.s. Bases but Iraqi anti-government protesters who have been in their streets in the streets for months fear the new protest could undermine their cause Earlier today I spoke with v.o.a. Correspondent Heather Murdock in central Baghdad fairly early this morning around 830 or 9 by then there were thousands and then mid-morning tens of thousands of people that join the protests calling for the u.s. Military to leave Iraq people are carrying signs saying I m. Iraqi against the presence of America Jim people are carrying more dramatic sign saying Death to America and best Israel so far today has been peaceful but right now I can hear increasing amounts of gunfire at a different protest so I m not sure the day will end peaceful who is protesting because there have been a lot of anti-government protests and Iraqi government protests going on for months now are deeds the same people as that protest which has been who have been asking for reforms and better government services and better job opportunities and an end to corruption are these those same protesters or these different protestors fish protest was completely Shepler to the anti-government protesters that protest and a lot of the people who have been pushing show again she reckoned government were not involved in the 1st test today calling for the u.s. Military to leave that protest was called for by a prominent Shiite religious cleric a father who calls for the u.s. Military to believe it was very much a sectarian or you know specific groups that were attending this protest as opposed to the anti-government protests that tend more to have attracted protesters across all sex and religion in Iraq where does all soldered fit in politically within the tensions between the u.s. And Iran and also within the Iraqi political sphere he s a very powerful man here in Iraq and very popular among his followers although not popular with everyone he has been fiercely anti-American although more recently he s been been much known as much more of a nationalist that is neither associated with America or Iran loosely associated with Iran as he is a leader of. Sorry about that of there s more gunfire I just wanted to take a look see if that is if he s been the leader of the Shia militias. These are backed by Iran sometimes more recently sense all of this happened between the u.s. And Iran in Iraq he has taken a strong stance pro rata and anti America which is similar to his stance in the past is this protest really galvanizing his movements and showing his his power in his force or what might we expect to see after this. Well I m not sure what will happen on the international level because the us has not said they have any intention of leaving and the Iraqi ministers I don t know if they have any interest or ability to make it so you actually have us us from Iraq while people think of it in the long term that should happen most Iraqis think that but in the short term the KSAN each of the Kurds have come out to say. More gently but both have expressed their disapproval of this idea locally though however this might have a much quicker and more predictable outcome in that it is making their protests and Iraq if you can imagine even more prone to sectarian tensions it and you can already hear from protesters and like government protesters tensions and fears that soccer protesters father and daughter will actually try to take over and lead the way and they don t want leaders and they don t want a sectarian protest movement they want to be movement that includes everyone now we can hear in the background as you re as you re talking what sounds to me like gunfire what what s happening there and are you saying well we can she can t she running in and out of the protest on the bridge I m I m a little bit below the bridge that a lot of them are carrying metal shields said it looks like they made out of barrels and painted them black with white slogans on them so it s possible that there is a fight going on directly at the moment I m taking shelter and I m standing with a couple of police officers behind a wall at the moment so I think we re Ok but I don t think this neighborhood is going to be Ok to stay in for too long after dark. That was a few ways Heather Murdoch in Baghdad u.s. President Donald Trump says it s time to release his long awaited Middle East peace plan and has invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and opposition leader Benny Gantz to the White House next week to discuss it Linda Gradstein reports reveal way from Jerusalem President Trump says he will most likely release his long awaited peace plan even before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and possibly Netanyahu selection rival Benny Gunn survive in Washington next Tuesday Trump said it is a great plan and one that will really work Israeli news reports say it will include a unilateral annexation of the Jordan Valley about a 5th of the West Bank that runs along the border between the West Bank and Jordan Israel has long said that the area is important for Israel s security about 13000 Jewish settlers as well as 4000 Palestinians live there the report said the plan would also give Israel sovereignty over all Jewish settlements in the West Bank where more than 400000 Israelis live if that happens it would be a major change in u.s. Policy and anger the Palestinians Prime Minister Netanyahu said he accepted president trumps invitation with pleasure we have had no better for the president because the principles expressed in the factory were American and this is. Who she was recognized by President compass Israel s consul the president. Has recognized Israel solved you over the Golan Heights I know this invitation I think that the president has said can give Israel peace and security the peace and security that deserves Palestinian see the reported plan is dangerous now Bill Dana a spokesman for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas warned the u.s. From crossing any more red lines he said the Palestinians will not accept any plan that does not give them sovereignty. Over the West Bank Gaza Strip in East Jerusalem Abbas met Thursday with Russian President Vladimir Putin who was in Israel for the commemoration of the world Holocaust forum and asked for Putin support in the future. A bus said there are some regional issues that need to be discussed with President Putin such as Israel s announcement to annex Palestinian land about us also said there is the need to talk about this deal of the century which Mr Trump said will be published soon a bus also said we need to talk about this issue also we have the issue of the Palestinian presidential and Parliament elections that we will inform the president about. Said the Palestinians want to discuss Israel s announcement to annex Palestinian land as well as other regional issues Jordan s foreign minister Iman Safadi also warned that if Israel a nexus the Jordan Valley it would end the chances for peace between Israelis and Palestinians the Washington visit comes as Netanyahu and dance are due to face off in Israel s 3rd election within a year Linda Gradstein for v.o.a. News Jerusalem the United Nations experts have called for an immediate investigation by the United States and others into information they received that suggests that a Muslim owner billionaire Jeff Bezos phone was hacked after receiving a file sent from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salmond s what s up account David Kay is one of the u.n. Special Reportory as he says that the u.n. Is concerned about what efforts by the Saudi government to silence him infiltrate communication devices of well known Saudi dissidents and manipulate social media to amplify voices praising Prince Mohammed and drawn out his critics. What we reviewed was a parental report. That provided. Significant information about the alleged hack of a phone belonging to Jeff Bezos. Through his whatsapp account and through a an account that belongs to the crown prince of Saudi Arabia and the information provides details and factual information about how the 2 exchanged information originally their contact numbers and the kinds of messages that were sent from from the crown prince at least from his account to Mr basis no some people will ask how this issue falls within the pa view of the u.n. Can you explain to us how the u.n. Is involved and why. Yeah and so in my own mandate so my mandate which is the mandate that was created by the United Nations Human like Council the central human rights body of the u.n. System I was mandated I mean I was I am formally asked to gather and consider information related to alleged violations of freedom of expression and you know for several years I have been you know gathering information and reporting on instances of surveillance both mass surveillance and the kind of targeted surveillance that s at issue here because of the way in which surveillance has the potential to interfere with the freedom of expression surveillance is often used as a tool to intimidate journalists or activists not to speak it s often used as a way to blackmail people to avoid government criticism and and it s it has a very very serious chilling effect on on all sorts of speakers so you know this is this follows you know directly into our mandates it follows directly into the kind of standard operating procedure that we pursue when we are when we re dealing with cases of human rights violations and you can go and look at all of the different communications we ve done over the years to see that. This is you know actually quite consistent with our normal practices right and what you Ebel drole a connection between. What happened in this case and the motto of so many journalists Jim also show you. Well that s that s one of their questions that part of our ongoing investigation you know one of the things that we see and this is a part of the annex 2 to our public statement yesterday is that at the same time that we have these allegations of hacking against against Mr basis we also have very strong evidence of the hacking of individual Saudi activists and journalists who are so see it Jamal Khashoggi and and the evidence of the hacking. Is directly in the same timeframe as the period in which there was increasing intimidation of Jamal Khashoggi and preceded the you know the ultimate murder of Jamal Khashoggi So you know the connections between that the fact that the pattern of the allegations is is strikingly similar between the activists and the hack of the alleged to hack as Mr basis is certainly enough for us to if not draw conclusions to draw from them very very serious concerns that needs to be addressed by the Government them and ideally by independent fact finders that was David Kay Special Report Are you one special report are speaking to me from California the u.s. State Department is giving visa offices more power to block pregnant women from visiting the United States new role which takes effect today directs consular offices abroad to reject women they believe that are entering the United States with the sole intention of giving baths and giving their children u.s. Citizenship Vo as national correspondent Victoria Macchi joins us in studio for more on this so Victoria country.

Was involved in a gritty battle with Australian John Millman for a place in the Australian Open 4th round at the 28000 u.s. Open Millman had stunned Federer and the 4th round and it looked like that was on the cards again in August be the best men s match of the tournament so far Federer constantly was under pressure even when he was up $0.02 to $1.00 you got the feeling there was no assurances especially the way Millman was playing in front of a full house and pushed the match to a 5th but his men were coming up with ferocious returns with Millman being the 7th straight day and Federer is played at the astride an open boom and went up 84 in the final set supertight break 2 points from the match but Federer and then reeled off 6 straight points a victory he powered a forehand winner and raised his arms 467-664-4676 extension 3 very very tight balance you have to choose there but. I mean it s happened to me in the past against me it s happened in the past for me as well and this one the affair was unique in many ways you know that I was able to turn a Super Pac around like this and I persevere it was crazy it was fun I couldn t be more happy of course and a big relief Federer keeps his record against intact at the Aussie Open and this was his 100th match win at the event it was a day of turning tables in upsets at the u.s. Open Serena Williams had beaten Wang Chung for the loss of just one game this time the Chinese player came back to win 646775 but I was optimistic that I would be able to win I thought Ok Now now finish this off I honestly didn t think I was gonna live that much at the u.s.

I service on the. District line and there s a rip. On the London. On the. Council from London to the rail replacement of. London travel that. Far as. Well. United as well and I late when for poor word against Maidenhead that this afternoon where if you have been if you want to react if you ignore it fine you want to talk to us and get in touch about what s going to happen with the managerial situation if you re up Romney supporter make your way away from here and you look you for there to choose a night can you pick Bristol Rovers to get into the 2nd round of the f.a. Cup get in touch on the far post Saturday sport the post school or the way 7. 1000 text states one triple 3 Start your message with the word love to. B.b.c. . Radio London. Sports Well before we look at all the football this afternoon let s just wrap up what s happened in the 1st semifinal look ahead to the 2nd semifinal at the a.t.p. Tour Finals at the o 2 Nick Goldman Yes we watched excellent contest between Roger Federer and so far Narcissa pass to be honest with you Phil the discussion going into it was the fact that it s the biggest age gap between 2 semifinalists at this stage of the competition a 38 year old against a 21 year old and that s to finally won it by 2 sets of of 6364 Federer proving an obvious opponent at times in his own opportunities to break serve others but says the past really is one of the coming forces in the men s game he beat Roger Federer in round for the u.s. Open as well and he s now done it the semifinal states here it s his 1st appearance at this level having graduated from the next gen tournament last year he was in the next gen a.t.p. Finals which he won and he s made his way through to the final of the main competition this year is the 1st Greek ever to qualify for this competition as well so the great sport has really are very very excited that he s kind of breaking all the records at the moment youngest grand slam a semifinalist since never at Djokovic back in 2008. And there was some concern that because of his wearing defeats to Rafael Nadal in the final. Round of the match yesterday that he would suffer but there was no sense of that certainly he won he was 3 live up in the 1st set very very quickly quickly but Roger Federer was an ally down certainly he proved very very difficult there were points when he made City Pass works so hard for some of those big big points particular at the end of the 1st set at the end of the 2nd as well there were some really really close calls but in the end it was youth that triumphed over experience and then action later from the other semifinal dominant team of Austria against Alexander s very of Germany team beat Federer in the round and joke of it in the round robin stage this competition to qualify for his 1st semifinal he won a group Bjorn Borg as it s known as Vera is the defending champion from Germany he was only $21.00 when he won this last year so it could be 2 very very young players in the final dominant seems been around a bit longer certainly he d be another inclusion that would surprise surprise people and make for an exciting final tomorrow but the the the conversation in men s tennis Phil is constantly when is the next generation going to use this generation has been around for ages are heard Steve Brown hard saying it during the course of the game as well you know the joke of it Federer Nadal and to a degree Andy Murray quartet dominated men s tennis for so long it would appear that the the next generation haven t managed to break their hold on all the major trophies but just maybe this very very young group. And this is a process of this world might just finally be able with a combination of aggression and youth be able to topple that magnificent force and there s a long way to go but you days like this you start to think that possibly finally eventually the signs of change in men s tennis are beginning to shift. Thank you very much indeed Nick at the a.t.p. That say that joining us in a. Coaching position here is Lane is leaves the chairman of the club thank you very much she feeds on are you pretty got some at attaining to do. More entertainment here this afternoon I mean in the end it was very exciting in the end probably looking at it thinking maybe actually could have been all 3 points but great spirit shown by the team to write well I think giving away 3 goals gave them a nice early start. And outside the point outside the point. 3 goes up personally came from mistakes probably bad decision making I m not a football man climbing a yellow coach but what I think was bad decisions that create those goals Parker criticized the boys in the 2nd half they came back super and probably at that if you probably are knocking not winning yeah absolutely here were the crossbar a couple of times and you never really forcing your most impressed with the friendly folks from the Post who s just in general here then we ve got an exciting week which is now this is the we have 1st party Abby how exciting is the prospect of Tuesday night and having Bristol Rovers here t.v. Cameras here possibility of the f.a. Cup 2nd round potentially to talk about a 2nd round is one game at a time this is probably the 1st day because we still have a game today. And I m glad it s a day I think it s important to be on be incurring into Tuesday and hopefully choose another we can get the supporters and the new supporters and a new visitors someone to come and look at televisions enormous for us. Financially is an advantage but for Mason is another opportunity to show the probably brand year you know to show off to show what we re trying to do here there is a journey here there is a plan AMISOM to be overnight is going to be nice steady a sustainable plan and then I guess chooses just another stepping stone on that yeah I mean we only want to come see will see what s what s happening be the stand . Away the glimpse every strand of way to our to our right here outside the work that s going on on the pitch to the side that s been put together point with the source study plan of progress that s being made but ultimately the aim is to step up the division it is a date it is indeed and it s to do it in a sustainable fashion year not just by the success. Of the budget deal has he thinks a fair budget we know it s not the highest in the lake but a cliff not alarmist. But if he manages it correctly and the one thing I ve always said to him people think you need a higher budget now you need a better selection of players within your budget and if they perform correctly he ll get his results off the failed Yeah we re trying to create a model where we re not we launch solely on football success which others use the assets around us to create a sustainable model to get into Lake. And you know can pay in league say and my ambition is I stand here today this is a football club. And why is it important is it because we see so much crash and burn in football I mean we re seeing it again you know the whole situation with Michael s children over that school s consternation because it s not something that is just happened in the last few weeks at Marco s field it was you know this has been some of it s been happening over the years we see other football clubs where the gamble is taken and actually proved to be very costly for the football club future you know the hazing from We ve been here hey Swades is my future as a football club since night you know no it is important that he Street doesn t disappear because you gamble on the future but there s no gamble here I have to tell you that. I have been successful in business and I m just using some of those same principles in the way that I run the business within the football club and I get very very easy to somebody there s a saying in life you make your cake and it s a bit of icing on the top. The icing on the cake the football. And the cake is the business side of the club the football and I if I could be very blunt there s no business in the world has a model where you play football on the sets they often are in and Tuesday evening every other week there s no business model in the world. So why follow it you ve got change the rules a little bit and try to cry model here from even gauge in a community through education system such as are the schools and colleges together with as you say the stands for the stars the front side the back side there s a commercial venture and that composure venture. Capital into a football club what sort of. All plans have time scales go r.t.o. Toys when hostile are not sharing it because then people hold me so it. Is my job to ask I know is my job. You mentioned obviously the football side isn t the only way of generating the money because you can t you know you have 27 opportunities sometimes in the season to actually generate cash for from a. Point of view but the exposure you get to nil match did for the game we spoke to it proved to be in the end not a winning trip to Wembley but the f.a. Trophy final was a very positive thing as far as promoting the club it was locally the f.a. Cup encounter just helps with all those elements helped build the awareness around the camp the power and so we were and we were there for 200 here today for example I mean last season our average guy was 1426 are now the number and as we stand here today arrived which guy is 2100 and we had our average today so we ve had gates so far this season of 360-3302 they will be a good guy it s lovely to knock on the door for others and that s that s a personal ambition if we can fulfil that. Fulfilled. Ecstatic Yeah and he got soaked about what the 2nd 2nd record holder make you stop and you don t you don t write there it Frank I meant to go that far as far as your involvement and you say that you know but it s a long term plan it s a long time for when Yes yes I grew up in. A living cancer now but probably still very dear to me and I love coming back here and I love trying to develop something that. I use the word sustainable Yeah you know it will be sustainable basis outside of football and then a success and a focal page 14 minutes to the success that everybody can enjoy so your ultimate aim would be that you could walk away yeah by your choice and or whatever you could you could take a step back and you could leave a football club and a business of surrounding that football club which then she can sort of I think it will I think it s wrong that football clubs will law on I an individual who uses his own money for it to stay alive that s wrong and I m going to try and prove that there is the old adage it s hard to make a small fortune in my football club if you go to people yeah I mean it disappears as well really what might be happening. And this season I mean you know. Realistically games I mean this is a season where who knows at the moment you know the top 7 is is up for grabs that was the ambition the star the series is also the same last season we finished 11th . And I set the targets and I said let s discuss the playoffs I think the budget was Representative going for the playoffs I do think hated very very well in his selection of players his selection of players was very good which represented a playoff opportunistic and I remind him that same position we were in a good place to try to fulfill the ambition of pain in the playoffs by the end of the season well I see. Let s hope. So policy continues as well because you ve ever bought my help I want. But tend to the boys on the pitch is. Time if you go back inside. It s a very much good to see and yet we re back. Right here London. There with a manager in a moment or 2 but Steve I mean you know the point making the point that many people make when it comes to football sustainability is a word that gets bandied around. But you know you can achieve that with a plan I mean it is possible does it does it maybe have limitations on where you can go and I doubt that that s one thing that they re going to find as they go along you know it s great having these plans always so I sold a dying exact same plan after 4 months the Gulf Coast got moved to we want to motionless here now that was moved by Made it was moved by the owner and subsequently No No Has fall into the trap of spending white too much money yeah on a team that basically got through the playoffs and is now in a relegation zone in a league above. My. Question mark over all of it is great when you see and at the moment building stands new good scored what happens when is a setback what happens when the results over 10 games are poor and they drop down to 15th All right what happens in the change of manager and you know do you throw a bit more money at the team that s that s when the 1st question mark stark and it s great in principle and in principle if you want to say that you ve got to give somebody time you ve got the patience to take it at this level when recruitment is really tough you might not get the player you want Yeah very complementary there about the. You can have a summer where you have bad recruitment and then what you do because you re stuck with those players at this level you ve got to work with them and you might have a poor year and this is this is this is when I struggle is that win win win is a 1st step backward is like I say you have a great season you overachieve in some respects it goes against you the following year if you do not here if you take a step backwards everybody wants you sacked and actually 2nd the manager is not the way to go when you re looking for stability and you re not going to throw money at it yeah up against us advice shown by the way in the group the qualifiers and scored for him out in Russia more with a goal for Wales Well no a long way to go in that game 20. Plates got on one earlier today by 2 goals to one of Kazakstan lead you know by a goal to nil station and you are keeping a very close eye on that one in the National League today and read back to winning ways 661 lashing handed out to shorts and. Sent for the manager Peter. Struggled to score a goal and then all of a sudden you get 6 now. Because everything went for us this afternoon and. Danny. You know I thought some of the. Past and. Goals were outstanding Yeah they were good goals went in and many new must been pleased with the o.t. Debutant some particular event outscoring day yet I was very pleased I thought. It was desperate apply. We were confident he would do well at this level exceptionally well and 2nd when I was a close range head out East 1st goal took a little bit of doing that he took it really really well so I was pleased with him but Sam dairymaid had to assist in the 1st of which was dry I was also delighted with Toby Stevenson as well you know you got him on loan from show and and I thought he was fantastic today the why you kept going up and down the pitch so you know that was it s a very good diet that s why you ve got to enjoy yourself you know days like this if I don t enjoy it and I almost just back it it is crazy because you have many times where things are not so good but I was good and maybe one disappointment he might be the injuries yanked up today and I guess you re going to have to wait to see what the extent of days injuries. Manny s might have a little bit of a hamstring we not sure yet but it could be a hamstring and Sam there in you know check with somebody in each Audi sank a little bit on both cases we re hoping they re not too serious because they re both important players for us we won t really know until they say it was down here probably probably no Monday morning but here that is the phase a negative you know and that s that s why managers never slate they worry about everything and so but I will enjoy it you know and I ll enjoy it some of the things that the players did and few of the Americans consulted mountains that were here today you know even more pleasing Michael to see that kind of result you know obviously they have got 100 percent record every child may come over by asking to come into the changing room at 10 to 10 to 2 and they always say something. And I got 100 percent record with no dropped a point while that was left I mean so it might have to be a case of a jet from America every every 2nd of the been documented pretty big win today against all shot 11 on the table just 3 points so that s the playoffs. At the moment after the tour here it s a day. Gone top on goal difference. You can climb back up to the top the plane kicking off about 5 minutes so I. Wanted a. Trip north to Blackpool. To Bloomfield Road. Despite the disappointment out of the result is the manager joins us live now good evening to you. Obviously we ve not seen the game you know it s a disappointing result what did you make of the day. Disappointing result when you come to these places we wanted to give it a go but you know we got punished for 22 individual consecutive errors and that s what they do to team so they have quality up front and they punished you know for spells. And looking quite comfortable without. Any problems at all and as you say It s tough isn t it Blackpool are flying at the moment and if you do give away a you know opportunities or present opportunities to clinical finishes then you know you can pay the price you can pay a price or 2 after it s on so on your own target if it doesn t quite work for you yeah exactly I mean it no less exactly weapons a day you know we never could so I don t think they had a bad 1st half and. That busy until we. Took them very well but. I was a little bit disappointed before the Gulf that we could have stepped on and have had more of a go which which I m trying to get the players to do you know we could have we could. At times we did about really know but now we come here we are not good and we need to give ourselves more of a chance in these games and you know how much of that comes from confidence and how much will that will come if you were to pick up some results on the almost. The boys to apply. We haven t we. We want we want to wife from home and we want to home we. Put down to confidence I just put it down to . The belief in. My My expect. To win the game and I. Will get places and you can look at results not assessing things but if you you know if you do look at performances and they ll be some good things you ll take out today as well as the points of coaching. Is a quick turnaround we have done. So we ll just be preparing and. Making sure we re ready to go for Tuesday and. Opportunity to get back on early. Edition competition. Because we re. Not allowed to play from. The pros and cons Isn t this a great competition and we should have probably got the winning. You know we ll be going up there with full intentions of progress in. The months I mean deservedly so he s benefited from coming and playing with you yeah yeah he s been terrific goals and I mean every day you know it s not just every saw every single goal. You know he s a easy you know he s I mean today he had a couple of shots but he s always in and around it and you just hope in a. While in there in the game at Doncaster Thanks thank you. Manager Let s hear from another manager who suffered a defeat. Back in charge of Leyton Orient home defeat to Scunthorpe United. Reaction to what he saw today disappointed and disappointing in. The way that we performed. In the 1st half they looked on the on the verge of a performance the message after we looked. And made unforced errors if one of the paraphrase at times which can be expected to a degree and that s what summed up our 1st half of what we were very nearly able to create chances never create anything clearly we were very nearly to neat story to put them under a little bit more aggression and perhaps we did. A fantastic strike gives them the lead and something to defend for so. Disappointing. For credit to the. First half and then in 2nd half we never really found. The caretaker manager certainly in charge for the time being. A factor of course what you see week in week out for us we ve had communication at this point in Orient relegation a relief. One correspondent that we ve had. I don t know what needs to happen at this moment in time what did you witness today was very flat no it wasn t very flat compared to couple of recent performances it would be fair to say a lot fellas been made about manages who should be the manager and suchlike into the clients and there s one or 2 players out there that have been tested in the. It was similar to what we ve seen earlier in this campaign and of us. In Britain and also in the co-feature like noite find it so difficult to keep a clean sheet Yeah if you can t keep a clean sheet doesn t matter if you re playing scum pope United or a Plymouth alcohol it s going to be very tough enlistee vision because you re plain sites that are better organized than they are in the Nationally there are some occasions when some of these players switch off I haven t got the mentality we quiet football they switched off in the 1st half and the move that led to the colon late night struggle to clear the corner they switched off again for the 2nd goal they didn t create enough chances they didn t dominate he would field it s something that we ve seen and there was impotent and how Fletcher Yeah there s a lot of work to do but I don t think we have to worry about not many I don t think will trouble the playoffs I think it s about building for the future absolutely director at Cypress been right to fix it I discover I think that relegation is a fair idea and I m you know we ve been told at a shiny Why so the playoffs are probably maybe not a realistic expectation special here probably shortly all b.b.c.

You know you can t you can t yes there is a negative it s going to matter what he or she thought come across a page after coming in a half time to get that girl when we did obviously hit the crossbar the boy is a bit delayed but you know if I had to get a thief things off my chest might the change in bringing cotton on. The words I said is if you get a come back here be one of the best comebacks these clubs ever seen and the boys proved to me and I would let me end up disappointed that we have a wonderful again nemesis against us he did it last year we had about $27.00 attempts at Darwin he was pulling them off over the place and I always kept them $23.00 and I want to go even though. They re going in he s literally got his hand and pulled it out to eat. You know he was 8 and I eat an egg and I saw you point going into Tuesday s if I can t reply after not shown great character yeah. We show character last last week one nailed down to get Bristol Rovers 10 men are now I ve got character but I don t need as keep saying it after I want to start. To character give yourself up about it you get all you can so you didn t know but you know what we did we did gold just before half time if you can get the next one we ve got game on and actually when you got to $33.00 we will we will say and do you stick or twist it when we want to win it you know we come in after our free one town you know we lose it so I would drop. You know even if we lose it at the end we only lost one point I wanted a car win it you know and you saw the boys want to do it and believed in that they could win it and. I don t think sometimes these boys know how good they can be right you know we started off had a great start to the Ses and we ve had a little bit of a bit and you know we ve lost a few players and everything else but they genuinely give me everything that they ve got in training and playing and for the 1st half I think we were waiting for the for someone to do something to get the game going and in the end it was after 3 goals we get the gulf from Rico that was to trigger but as a side you can be plan I ve been getting I was away to a team not Howard. I suppose you know it s even saying you go into 2000 the packet just in regards to Chris Bush in particular. He s got some weapons as me and he sees you know so it s not just a throw it s not just the fact he can you know one and also he s that place but also he s free kicks what I mean to see what. They are stationed especially if we knew when we saw him Chris bushy gives you something else I wouldn t stop in the Gulf you know he s got the free kicks and I think scored 9 goals for absolute last season so we knew we were signing a player that could get you a girl he hadn t scored many free kicks but he was getting in the box and he was scoring goals and then you and then you say what he s got in front of goal and you know that they hit their pace they re not the lofty one that you know looks good it might just go he hit some We ve we ve a lot of places a lot. A local. This and I watched Beck play against Portsmouth. Dominated Proxima Centauri. I maybe was overcautious Planas screen in front of him because he was so good I might be going to a little bit defensive but you know not a lot of goals come from that bar or for Bush and Jack Holland had back to that year and also Jay made a point to 2nd off that you would see dominant that he ended up spending a lot of time in his own kind of irukandji is a big player in your own planet near yet and that s probably why you should look at . You know when you say someone dominate a portion of your back 4 like he did yeah you know it was. So awful for credit check and Bush today being quite in keeping someone quiet year in some a lot because it wouldn t surprise me if there were a few clubs looking into it and there with their team as well you know I know you you have ambitions to be top 7 so there are a good chance I mean maybe it s no surprise that the 2 teams are going to go toe to toe now absolutely you know as I said we know how good they were very attacking side not that they had to be in the 1st half you know because we gifted them but you know like the attack in numbers they got back and then we were signed sometimes it s not keeping him quiet you gotta keep the wingers quiet and the fallback squad because then they re the ones that put in the ball in the box awful awful Brendan You know he s come back he s hungry to score a goal is our club but. They had a place you go Ok quite as well because they re the ammunition for back there so now you can have an hour off and you go start thinking about shoes tonight and. Are going to enjoy it however but I will have you know I just want to be going home and you just make sure that you got it right because it Bristol Rovers side my my thought you know that was a that was a They re one chance yeah we re going to have to be a lot better than we were defensively and not giving opportunities why but then you know going forward with score goals I generally believe it was called golf but you know you can t be giving teams for a head start and what s the secret to looking young because I could go for it every week off from you Do you feel good or army fights when I get out of. Wrinkles I. Always do I don t have to. Keep I know well until I m I thank you very much. For it if I much so I thank you all the best and I thank you very much much later. The manager of 33 today we mentioned. And it s all going to get dark a stage and I m just going my need you to to see sustainability to get electrical exactly bills down. Of course for a screen rovers would have us on bikes at this moment so I secure the lights on. Veggie burger very nice they are 2000 as far as I m going to different type of sustainability he wants isn t it very interesting story now we saw someone leaving here a little bit early of course it was Mark Bright who has got a book out stay together. Yes I did yeah. He says that the love of the game has never dwindled and that s why you still involved the 2 time f.a. Cup a finalist you know that it s to be able to tell you that I know an awful lot about . These sorts of biography and it s a story which the compass is obviously is playing career but also what happened afterwards and a very tough start to life as well we sat down to talk about a book a week and a half or so ago I start off by. Asking him if it be a positive experience putting words to his whole story in the end yes he started beginning and what we did is a story set in the social services and everything felt is quite harrowing You know normally if you ve grown up with your parents then you have to rely on them explaining things when you were young what used to do what you play football the netball and whatever it was your parents but we had it documented in our history so we in many ways had more detail about my childhood people so that was the thing I was sent to the records I read through them when it came time to do the book and then I handed the documents to the to the ghostwriter is Kevin Kevin Brennan I ve known for a long time you know he read through it and he would have sessions about different things about race about. You know everything everything it s emotional at times are not going to lie emotional talking about the past because it wasn t it wasn t great I mean. You know. It s tough it s tough I m not sitting here and saying about a hard life like if a nobody had a hard life to me it s not like that I know it s a back story this is mine and so I decided to tell it and when you reflect back on it you ve got back story. That you think you know how to and influence on you maybe but not necessarily always a bad influence because you kind of you come across some amazing and wonderful people that. Influence your life correct 3 sets of foster parents 1st maternal. She tried to get the family back together by fostering a school that didn t last long you know 2 and 2 hold for a kind of like. You know shot a memory and then we moved to Nepal into. An elder lady disrupt 5 years and then we just got too much for her. And she was and she was amazing and we ve you know we re very family. Remember her and then we had to Mr Mrs Davis gran and grandad Davies who we stayed with for over 10 years at the huge influence on a senior special granddaddy was very disciplined and 3 of his own sons treated them exactly. In a book gets paid back he said you know. They were that was one of the things to be on time be disciplined get up and go to work get up and go to school whatever it was Get you have to get out by debt to go and do things. Around the house it was discipline we knew kind of going to live despite it wasn t. Like we are now with all kids you know we re all over them it was a tough childhood you know some great memories you know. Some great memories. And for influence from Iran or trying to produce that was something. How early on did you. Actually are this is something I love and I d love to do. Just as far as can remember you read in the notes from the from social services it said that when the social service officer came he would just turn up after school and they were sitting on a lot of questions and that who are these people and he said you know Mark just wanted to go out. To have why the situation just seems like it just back you just get on with it and then it was in our records I think is to primary school and now my report he said a bold enough later for the same on a new life 5 or 6 years of age and you just think I was a dreamer I was a dream I was to sit and look out the window and dream and. Mr the while and. I still stay in touch with you know commentating on the French in the French lesson you know they had said over the microphone the sound is bright on the inside anything. In many press the button just. Get on with it sorry sorry sorry so I was a dream to dream at school of being a footballer and there s a piece in the book about Mr a history teacher just asked me what. I m going to. I m going to say. 10 years later. A telegram is we used to have in the old days it was a yellow envelope. And you have a pile of and this was very emotional when you read it when you just just making a breakthrough. In visit what would come later on. As a coach it. Just said without Yes I wouldn t be where I am today no question. And I was down you know when you when you re. Just pulling you back taking you back a little bit set me off with some fundamentals of what I would require for a good career professional football. Supported the club I lived along the road from the fields I could see the fear in the back garden. I can play football. And you know one season I m off to Leicester and I play here today didn t work. As always after 2 years off I went to Crystal Palace and then the rest is history. Determination to see what you found here Crystal Palace fit. The documentary recently excellent team with. A big mouth and then Terry and then I think the next one is probably. The end of the eighty s and just getting this group of players together a group of hungry young players mid twenty s who had a point to prove and. The only way Steve was very talented as a hard worker and he just. Style on the team and the team to hald were. Falling down just in sorry a wrong. Anyone who came to this to be a runner an athlete got to stick to the game plan we look at that Peter that. Before you arrive at the club but then you leave your mark on the club here as a player and we left when terms of that group of players got promotion to what is now the Premier League. F.a. Cup final the Data Systems fade the next season. And then finish the 9 he wants and just think wow a group of people and then over say the team gets brighter lasers and Parker and I moved on in the fuel has moved on to drain the Everything s. Great times work ethic very tough very hard working Steve Coppell. Flicks and it s very good of combining Yes So everybody played a part everybody you know even in the embrace as well was very straight very stiff you know but you know we just might work with me right or you know just loved it. With some good coaches who could determine players some driven players you know couldn t quite deliver the trophy we got to the final replay didn t work for us you kicked on and finished the next season so a very disciplined game is something in you to still be involved despite the fact that during strange and maybe the different where you ve been through various different ways of being able to see the change in the game feel that through everything through kicking racism out for board everything is very strong and did a great job and then over. And then we drop back a little bit and we know that we ve got to take some extra It s very sad as far as I could have to change the book Phil I did racism quite early and so a 10 months later they pushed coaches have right you know what you ve delivered a lot of the 23 development here. Half the people with. My love for the game never change I love the game you do you know. You need the money. Or the championship. To. Wrong so that middle of the game that was not a. Good time to. Be great stories about. You had to wear the worst trainers and what you did to the back of it. It s a long story it s a great story they used to give me the yellow baby on a Friday because of it for their morale and everything said to me a 2nd the. Kids. Get a yellow bit. Great for the band we were going for promotion as can you just so bad and I think to. The back he said on the front I ve got a bright man on the back and I said. Final 2 promotions one golden boot Not bad for a bright man and I folded. Lifted the shirt up to Candy to me and then we had a vote. And keep reading on the back and he started laughing and pretty down on the table and just said wait a minute is a guy on the front I ve got a bright but then he turned around they were willing to put it on as well I was so grateful that the press it was you know Friday s was a press day but they weren t there because if I. Jogging route to get to keep it on for 10 minutes of fun joking around with that would have been absolutely social media to kill me but no great times good club good people and. Really please see what we ve always done with them. Yet fantastic teammate for memories of brought a genuine bloke you know came in and and played his part in a season that we got through to play our final you know was a pivotal part but. A great asset as a team and an even not a fan of the pitcher absolutely well so to not a hard time just as a partial Harlequins trading turn in the rugby Belgium a leading rusher by 3 goals to nil and bright he spoke you know his story and you put my knowledge to hassle me time explodes some of the myths that surround the transfer window talks to many of the key players and managers administrators journalists bookmakers night she s been able to gain an in-depth into our into the crazy world of player movement I caught up with him last week to chat about the book she s called the boot sales out now and we started by getting know it she s taken on or really fascinates him about it with the transfer window where we re with our noses pressed up against the glass you know looking in and that was the purpose of the book you know the subtitle is The Strange and secret world of the transfer window and as a book itself it s the one it s been hardest to write just because of getting that access anyway because it s you know no one wants to give away any secrets about what I did was speak to Chairman to players to agents to scouts to analysts to broadcasters to journalists fans of course as well and also to bookmakers I was one the most fascinating ones were just seeing how spending a day in at the bookmakers and seeing how the odds for with each breaking news story that happens on on the radio or the talent but how the bookmakers monitor things you know and it can be the mind even mine you shot down to Dave in Sunderland who had some success in the past and they know it and they follow what he s up there is absolutely true I mean the mike is always with. They know someone who lives by a certain club s training ground and so they use them in these their research and development and they ll quite happily take a bet knowing they re going to pay out to him because 80 percent of the time the intel that he s clearly got paid off for them so we are thing is really interest but it s also the way that the punters react or just rumors that are on Twitter you know it could be anyone sitting at home in their pajamas coming up with this rumor thinking that the fact that player wants away this club needs that particular strike or they put the 2 together if it s got a bit of credibility people will believe that it s still a subject which splits opinion as to whether it should exists should it exist in certain sectors not other sectors does it really work does it actually inflate price when it doesn t need to be inflated Does it force clubs to make moves when they don t need to make moves or you know it s still there isn t perfect it s not perfect I mean I asked the same question almost every one in 3 for the book what do you think of it almost to a person they don t like in its current form follow up question was a better system few people got a few ideas but there is no perfect system so it s a case of you know is originally presented so as a level frame fair playing field so that the big clubs could buy a player late in the season age to alter the title to win a particular competition or skate relegation but with the influx of money in the last 1015 years since the windows come in because of t.v. Money teams are able to stockpile so that the level playing field is tilted again in their favor because they re able to offer wages for players happy to sit on the bench we maybe have a greater insight in the media of what goes on than than fans but I think that s maybe a bit actually disparaging to a lot of fans now who really are well aware of what s happening but which was what was the most fascinating area that you said Right well I didn t know that say the analytics that goes into it from from people who number crunch Yeah that was very interesting I spoke to a guy called Omar childfree who wrote you know works for a company called 21st club and they re employed their services employed by about a dozen Premiership teams of the. Championship teams and everyone s aware of how much stats and analytics are in the game this how many touches and so sad but what they do is take a very strategic look and they ll look and largely around recruitment so they will look at particular markets and who served well and have they actually be a lot of hype Well 11 player from Portuguese league done really well so lots of others should and then that league gets inflated it all talking about relative value and whether if you buy a $30000000.00 struck pound striker what difference does it actually make historically right across the board when clubs have done that has it gain them to League places and has is that any better than just promoting someone from the youth ranks so they re applying all this reason and rationality to it which I find quite fascinating I mean some people think it s quite cold and it s scientific and is it at olds with you know the scout with the eyes of a science but I found it really fascinating the way the 2 things work together when he was just saying this is the way we channel it this is the questions we re getting the scouts to ask themselves you know nothing is rated r. So that s an interesting way of spending the money of the day a club on deadline day and it s hard to get into a club and deadline day I managed. For the last January window I was on my way to Burnley to meet up with Sean Weisz and I was driving up on the radio set or got breaking news from turf more Peter Crouch is on his way to turf water and so all my dreams right participle finally realised so I kind of lucked out because that was effectively the big news transfer of the day yeah and so I lucked out so I was theirs and I had time to time with Sean once one time we shot on deadline day as he s got credits coming into the training ground that he still after another striker so that was what was really nice about the present knowledge knowledge Castle is out right now that s it from us like to Jamie if you company text probably for hosting us we re back here to say no of course we re after a cup action thanks to Lucy and Lauren and to repeat back at base that Gary Crowley sexed up next Steve he wants a song titles with animals in our pets Jamie has said Crocodile Rock I m going with the last great American while by of course the great Lou Reed on one of his album tracks what s yours are you going to go with The Lion Sleeps Tonight. The law and state sought by chart fits Gary is what care Stevie said and to take us into Garrett Crowley tonight Steve is going to give us the 1st you know because after he s definitely definitely no you wouldn t wish that on anyone I m going to. Take all of those many many thanks feel for a crack in off the noon of school and stick around on the other side of the latest news and travel as Phil said we re asking for songs to save men with animals or pets in the tile can you think of any Plus our regular do not blend of the classic and also the notes and coming up after Route 7 o clock it s the $989.00 eighty s megamix a lot to look forward so I ll see you very shortly.

Johnny do it in so doing the boy and also how you today Very well thanks very much you back over that side then yes yes I did did they hang out the bunting for you when you returned after your situation in their homeland they seems out these things to think about unfortunately a bit maybe next time. Who let them know in advance you know you re coming back next time yet the legendary would seem victory is in Rio Good morning Tim very good morning how you doing very well thanks very well thank you everybody is in-situ been over the so isn t so legend dida is in Rio taking care of Asian and South American football respectively and also of course talking about football as from over those regions playing in our leagues if I might start with Asia because today I heard an excellent interview a couple days ago actually sorry next interview on the football daily podcast vive puts out and it was an interview with Rafa Benitez s who is now in China of course. And. Plying his trade there and he was talking about you know leaving you cause would cetera but what was really fascinating was what manages from Europe not least the Premier League have to contend with when they go to China. For example he mentioned the fact that every team has to have an under $23.00 Chinese player so you have to have at least 2 because of course there must always be an under $33.00 player on the pitch so if you have to substitute one you ve got to replace it with a knowing one and you have to basically have 2 people in exactly the same position . Or you don t think about those could not enter observers. But what other kind of things do managers from oh they have to contend with Well there s quite a bit I mean I think I think you re right people don t really realize you know all the stuff that happens and even with the Under 20 clay situation as a rule that s been tinkered with over recent years it started out with he just had to start a match with and on the $23.00 player so what some coaches did. They would choose one disc player usually is a fullback I m sort of sometimes take him after 5 minutes and that will be it. Didn t really do anybody any good spin on this or them to see if they introduce a new or as you mentioned you know it s replacing with and the 23 player but I remember before it he had lost a lot of big name phone coaches called Chinese. Asian cultures going there and it always said the big thing I was doing China was always take your own staff with you . It on if you go by yourself it s going to very very difficult just the culture nothing else I saw an interview with Rafa Benitez in the news and Chinese or Chinese media and he s talking about just things like the food. You know going off and Chinese food. Especially where years in Delhi and when she s in you know one of the most international cities in China it s not so far from Beijing but. You know a does not a huge amount of light Shanghai or Beijing even going so in the south in the food can have a difficult of a different what people used to very different to what mean Chinese food isn t in maybe even in the poor the us and you see how much weight is lost in that sense but in China in part because I want to say when I came to Korea because my day changed completely those suddenly and the wages fell off and I was skinny for the 1st time quite a long time it was great but I think just the coach even the How closely involved the see if the Chinese are faced with everything and you find you know in China school was a huge project and it s all interconnected and I think just the size of it. Takes people by surprise but it must be lots and lots of things the travel the players have it so coach or that you know if you even manage to do it you can do very very well but I think it does cause a shock to most people I think Rafa s actually embraced it as well as trying to get involved in it is China and Chinese and to and blokes in Chinese and the fans are 2nd to him as well and Tim Costello of your side I know we ve talked often enough that there are very few foreign coaches plying their trade in Brazil and I imagine right across South America to set in stone what kind of things do coaches have to consider if they re coming from outside outside the South American context how differently the way they would have to approach setting up their teams in the strategy and everything they need to consider from the way they would do in Europe . Climatic conditions. Travel for a start I mean is specially if you re in some country South America is here and Brazil is a constant in itself but even some of the other countries in Peru now Peru has a lot different reasons a region s Colombia is a massive country lots of different climatic region region so there are things like altitude and there are things like extreme heat and there are a few getting a foothold a few Spanish coaches and in fact we ve just had the on the verge of local version of the Europa League has just been won by a tiny club from Ecuador independent Valli who are really a phenomenon that are the big success story in South American top football in the last few years and I ve gone Spanish the last you coached as a Spanish one of the Federer who want to be gallant but I mean is he 34 you know that there are players in this in the side who are who are older than that and one of the things he has to deal with out there is altitude because they re based on the outskirts of Quito which is 2800 meters above sea level so you have to adjust your strategy to that we ve got one in Brazil now who is causing a revolution and that s the Portuguese Georges who s Thankfully his press conference is on t.v. In Brazil they usually years subtitled because Portuguese from Portugal is just so different you can understand a word this science so it s subtitled I hope I ll be manages to get his message across that applies he seems to be because he s Flamingo side there in the final of the couple of it all it is a week in just over a week s time Saturday the 24th you can see that one on b.b.c. T.v. I m happy to share with you but one of the things that he had to cope with when he arrived was people desperate for him to fail the coaching fraternity in Brazil really wanting him to fail we don t need this this foreign stuff we don t need none of that and there was there were there was a cultural center do they need a. Well I think I think we all do I never got that Pink Floyd reco quite frankly might be if you went to a private school you can think about these things in different ways I don t know who that was when. It. Comes down to class in the end. When he gave out goalkeeping and became a coach he thinking that Brazil Brazilian coaches are behind the curve he brought in one assistant from France and one assistant from England and that put some no exerts a joint he s still working with the French guy the English guys come back and he s . In Scotland at the moment Michael Michael Beale So there s that defensiveness from the coach from the from the local coaching fraternity you know kind of hoping that he fails and forming are they going to win the Brazilian championship there was a clear. In midweek and then they think to be rightly in the goals and it s a style of attacking football that no one s seen here for a long time because a very high defensive line as you see in European football but you don t you don t see it here in the week that a 44 draw with Vasco da Gama and some of the local fraternity here really love the fact that they got held for 4 you see you see it s not all that really it s not all that really our local coaches can do a job so that s one thing that the local coach coming in the foreign coach coming in me has to be aware of there will be a little bit a little bit is that a father in the mix out of interest does the language issue does it work both ways is it hard for Portuguese people to understand Brazilians or is it easier for them to us and I guess it s much more musical Brazilian Portuguese is that the mouth is open much more on it or the great Portuguese author of a long name begins with s. Perish the thought can t remember one now you know he s kind of a polyp suddenly it s almost like a Bond villain you know sort of mongoose knots and a monger but he s like that among. You know. He kind of even been given and he would receive impression he kind of apologized floors for his country fog he said you know and I we re hard to understand I know we don t come out but it s how we are for enough. So they cool a reductio ad absurdum 080-859-0969 extension 3 there is a question one more question that s come in about many ages coming from j. I ll try to throw in the mix in a moment or 2 but 1st let s hear from Christopher who is in Cincinnati Christopher Oh thank you for having me it s a pleasure a pleasure great to have you Cincinnati was that famous What was that famous for call raise was thinking cause in Cincinnati Indianapolis maybe you re saying you know right now close up on there and does that take place in Cincinnati now Indianapolis is just another city in another state. Of course. It happens is it. Well. Known so I have to know you. Have Prince Yeah no Sure. Anyway. Cincinnati could ask you this question oh this is it I was it that s why I know this is and I m sure I don t know you did help me out so I did my head in shame was you also question good preserver. Thank you Don quickly if I if I may Congratulations to Johnny the or declaring an interest in writing a book about his beloved Blackburn Rovers. Thank you to. The welcome I look forward to reading it. So my my question the same thing has to do with fighting last night well for me last night. In the n.f.l. Cleveland was playing Pittsburgh and at the very end of the game a Cleveland player sacked the. Was this crazy not sacks tackled the Pittsburgh quarterback the quarterback took issue with the way the tackle happened and so they started to have a little scrum and the Cleveland defensive player took the helmets off of the Pittsburgh quarterback and hit him over the head with his own helmets. It resulted obviously an injection and probably Bines and suspension and that s actually I m sure so I m wondering about at the Rouse that has occurred in South America and Asia some you know people who have gone above and beyond you know just a little shy but you know maybe email even you know some bonus points if you can include a story where they used to use something besides that this. Is the cause but Ok Before making jokes. Yes absolutely you know he he shut it off and he looked at the referee is like did you see what just happened and you know so and by the way you are is I know yes he s Ok we do know that it s a sacking but thank you for translating it into tackling because sometimes just like Brazilian Portuguese I didn t know we didn t have a clue what you yanks talk about sometimes we can understand directly because you know when we speak our mouths are much more open and it s like a song anyway let s. Try to redeem myself from Cincinnati being in Africa. You re going to pick on someone else I don t know why you re react to Charlie Johnny you re the you know congratulations boy so do you want to start with that oh yeah oh thanks a lot of good I should say I will say that maybe this other black don t rub his books Abilify little but I don t think there are. Very concerned I was very careful . About the book shops Yeah I remember that when I write a book now now there s a very liberal so when our common 0 point I should say. The record market Yeah exactly. Yeah well there s a few I mean what you get specially in East Asia if you do that kind of a mass brawl you know a lot of players are black males in various martial arts. Or something. Like that it s going already Yes exactly it s kicking off. Taken down and created in Japan and China can food I think is a famous one in China and he was Chinese Olympic team before the 200-2008 Beijing Olympics which of course is only one that I m qualified for that as host day when I. Hear about a before and it play keep. Coming to why I started with a huge pool. All in the family will keep your link to the us and 7 Check out on You Tube You can see. What happened you get these canteens that cage only wake if you re flying keep still ahead. Sort of as I never seen it as much kind of in the stadium but you know could see on the video and some of these players can you know all jump 6 feet off the floor and quite often because of domestic league game in these countries at halftime the blinking kids who are studying you know these fairs much larger than a perform you know it s these amazing things like you know 10 foot jumps and some of the Olsen breaking blocks with the with their feet and this choir a common sight of North Korea into a. New Employee gold medal. China didn t do very well. And there s a little you exaggerate your knowledge of those every extend from that but usually objects to hit people with on the pitch I m not sure but there was a famous case in South Korea bone normie 20092010 or the head coach of. Talk to a team attacked his assistant with a beardless and hit him in the face quite a few times and in South Korea the grass is the old style kind of you know the barrel glasses with the handle of quite heavy stuff. And the number 2 was has about hospital but it didn t complain about it always so it went back to work as normal but as fans and media started to realize what happened and he was the head coach was for series and and it was a it was so embarrassed it s only a few coaches and career in East Asia to go to Iraq and he joins we ll take his team you know as a coach as an assistant it s a long time to come back I think you get it he said it s number 2 will be less. That s a criminal offense a Road Runner but you Tim in South America well I can t match Johnny day for expertise but I can throw a little bit of enthusiasm in there on the old day Syrian South American football and before kind of blanket t.v. Coverage is like the Wild West I m going to take you back to the limited audience final Champions League equivalent in 99 he won the only time a flamingo won it so far and they re up against a relatively small team from Chile copper cell and one of the Chilean defenders he got in for an implement He had a sharp stone in his hand and when the referees not looking east going around attacking players with a stone can you imagine this is a final Can you imagine a final and there s a sense about going around with a stone come the last minute sort of game from the title up and the from ing a coach sends on a substitute with one instruction see that fellow with a stone lie here. Low get him down Alps this one is over these days thankfully with blanket t.v. Coverage you can t get away with stuff there s not there s a famous match in in the mid seventy s an American are between Brazil and year ago I went net reveling I did someone and it started off in a mass brawl no really no the left footed attacking midfielder he wasn t really known for his pace but you should have seen the speed with which he scuttled off the field and went down the tunnel I think he flew down the steps of the tunnel on his backside he was so keen to get away from a chasing pack of year ago and said Christopher you ve heard both sides from Asia and South America you re offering extra points for improvements other than hands and fizz but I think the entered the dragon scenario the Johnny d. Painted the beats and even with the shop stone What say you Oh I agree with your daughter an absolutely yes the karate chicks are absolutely basis for sure I have just seen it on You Tube and it is like that scene in Enter the Dragon where you know they ve got the martial arts school training Mr Han mans there the big fight the big fight him it s like that crew something to be hoped thank you for calling Chris Verne caught up anytime as well. And I promise the next time around there were Cincinnati is Adrian in Dagenham I know where the is l.h. Or not you know you are very well thanks thanks to coding so you go both the legit Dino and the Northern so with you any questions you got the happy to. Share My question is if. Australia and Australia. Believe there is never. A want to show you your lines a bit better try that. One. To the very. Last I saw he was so much of the day I m. Playing Australia while most here in. Yeah well as you say I think this last even commentator b.b.c. Ham Yeah he he is retired he had quite an amazing career because he played I think after he after England he played in China. Shanghai quite a time there any player in the us would and he was in New York and I went back to Australia for a while so it s a real globetrotting. Player I think also he also releases children s books and there s a Tim Cahill children s book stories here as well. So it s a huge Yeah I think so is a huge figure straining football because of course when is sort of the world game for you a long long time and he still is a leading Australian coast or most of this not even when he got old and he became quite a base as. You know does us trying to rely too much on Tim Cahill on Aging tin pail for goals he was getting paid he wasn t playing for his clubs but often e come in with a vital header in the last minute to no Since into the World Cup we have because he s a bit different because as I said he wants these emerging markets big clubs like in change Shanghai and New York so I wanted to know. About Arsenal you know called these that huge countries are massive essential and also you know some tacit Korean the Premier League as well so yes they have an unusual player and you know very intelligent and you know the difference in a good it is for you to score once or would you describe him as a fox in the books I don t know about that they certainly want those players as a Rovers fan I was always happy when he wasn t playing Premier somebody who was a kind of player who would you know score against you know as a trademark celebration of punishing the corner flags and is a little bit a winner and yeah there s some cynicism astray about how he likes to Kamar always like to promote his own brand and there s a time to play in his career were his he was sponsored by a certain company and there was some suspicion that he was using his goal celebration to reference his new sponsors and things. All it all is that interest including the little diddly little you. Live by listening now and thanks to the cool I didn t appreciate that Jack is in China you know Jack . Good morning good morning to you could see him be a good one and yeah Ok I want to discuss I want to speak to John a and discuss the current state of the national team. So I don t know I don t know it s a start I mean little time yeah so yes I mean kind of a panacea China crisis. Oh yeah this is a crisis just. Like the National Unity had to throw that and start. Seems a bit reminiscent of kind of in a vote in a way I mean. Too much pressure but expectation of a player. And. I mean you know I must say resigned after a loss to Syria which an awfully close behind the qualification but they should. Still get one of the best for groups. But. It just seems. I mean is it going aging Skordas Well I mean over the 11 only free was on the say so no players coming through there s no prize and no young players coming through I may seem to. Say but laying them a claim for a national team a center kind of freezing. I mean to kind of. Makes some questions kind of I should question not just to recenter round. You think. You think what you think makes you go from that it s like a foreign experience manager Oh sure I. Should I try to get lighter on Southgate someone who s. Next player a national team and I understand the movement. And the 2nd question is next mostly East Asian Championships. And in the betaine which. Is a weeklong round robin against with China Korea South Korea on and on Cong. Yeah Jack hold hold that question I m going to go to the news now but the great thing you know there don t go anywhere because the great thing is after the news we ll find out just how keenly Johnny was listening to you. Find out if he was listing a trade or not so in a moment so when we come back don t repeat the question we ll try and get into.

We re talking football in Asia and South America players from over there playing in our leagues we ve got the Northern So joining. Dude and in so where else said he has he got Asian football. Cincinnati somebody shot you re trying to say to make you out of me Mr Bush you re supposed to be producing in everything this program in law might continue. To happen is. Good news Mr Williams And you re supposed to be skewed directing tonight may I can see. The show in my ear what can I do hundreds. 80859 or 9693 see what they ve done to me and in a moment we re going to find out just whether Jodi Dude dude was taking nudes when our cool in China Jack code Jackie. Good it s going to be really exciting it s going to be really exciting because we ll find out how. To live I can t wait to find out but 1st let me just say Michael has emailed to say for the purposes of the last caller Adrian in Dagenham who s asking about Tim Cahill Mark who says he recently returned to Everton as a coach while he works towards achieving his fee for a license also this week his son signed for evidence you think out of me wow he sunshiny I think it is Seinfeld his youth academy as a blue I m looking forward to seeing another kayo before his father s famous goal celebration frequently in the us to come so they you have a journey Thank you obviously we re always open to any listeners who have any updates so many questions have been asked that we can all know exactly what the latest is on that So Ok yeah Jonny do it in so what did Jack in China ask Well I think what he really aswell. I m. Jack and he simply leave make sure you correct him if he doesn t if I give a go no it could go to that. Turns football national team is a big mess I mean we re told before going to Times bald eagle that the desperation to become a power in football and qualifying for just what would be a 2nd welcome is a huge thing. Started in Asia the 2nd round of Caucasian China was involved the 1st round was 40 teams in the 2nd round and those 12 teams go through to the next stage. So of course like every team challenge sex is very seriously but more than mostly international breaks in these 4 games have had so for the international press in China for weeks logs of the lease on hold for almost a month. To keep the players time in training camps and the 1st 2 games they have big wins against multis and the 3rd game they drew in the Philippines and I just lost in Syria last I mentioned the 5 points behind Syria in the group there s still the still probably will go through as well the best winners are but you know it s going to be. A gotten a stage but there s a lot of problems at the moment and extra mentioned Marcello Lippi who returned to China in May their 2nd spell as head coach resigned after the loss in Syria apparently its final words were as it was our dressing when I got a look which depending on the tone of voice you say can be so a consequence I don t know but. I think it was a mistake to appoint leaping again in May 71 years old he s been criticised anyway in recent weeks for not having the any sheet to be the national team what you want need not watching as many games. Weekends as it should have or as you mentioned picking all players in the Asian Cup in January a chance at the older squad of 24 teams that the average age was trying to 9.2 years old and yes in m.l.s. On a say why why did you pick the oldest team of course be you know creating a new. Generation of Chinese players and he said just that the young talents just not alone and to find kind of balance between that he s been a driving force behind the naturalisation of certain players in China to play for a national team you ve got English born players like. The Chinese mother who s playing to benefit last year and is going to Beijing play in Beijing and he s been naturalized and he was on the bench I think this week and it came on the 2nd half but more concessions be in Elko some who s Brazilian born player played in Chinese Superleague 456 years and he started playing for a national team and it s more players more Brazilians than Pat Lang coming through waiting for the the. Chinese than 3 naturalized knowledge has gone it s uncertain what happens with this policy because as I mentioned he was. On Jan 4th behind it and it apparently it was one of his conditions for returning us for seconds but was that this would happen and I think the Chinese public has been quite neat about this but I think it was also it was also good you know it can change things but when results are not going so well and it s going to a lot of controversy about this going forward what happens next I mean who knows I think you have also how does Hiddink who was basically fired a month ago as head of the on the 23 team again an oldish an old elite coach when Europe was criticized for not working as hard as it should be and you know maybe not been inclusive pick players not on no or not on the ability but what could they play for. And I think now there s going to be debate about what kind of coal China gets next and I mean the problem the problem is with the Chinese simply There s not many local domestic coaches involved more so than your kind of high profile phone coaches but certainly I think he s got somebody younger a bit more hunger and energy and his eyes prove themselves fortunately is no of this no work again until March so if there s a bit of time now to you know sit back and take stock but it s a huge mess in the mentioned East Asian Cup in December usually it is this is a biennial regional competition of course of the directions of Asia so Peterson s 5 regional subcompact erections Japan and South Korea don t take it very seriously because all the players or busy basically chance to get the message players are now out China never had any European players anyway so it s an a strong this team but it s time that they saw this as a way to the region right he was hitting will be in charge. To prepare for hopefully for the 2020 lympics in Tokyo and qualification starts that in January but now he s gone leaving didn t want to do it so that s one bit the mess as well. So where to go from here I don t know but you know the World Cup purchase all sorts of desperate call for the World Cup that is a series of shorts and fixes. And a bit of patience is needed but surely you ve earned your corn may I mean that deserves a standing. Guard about it Jay do you feel that he s only going to get a standing ovation for me if he answers a follow up question that I have just thinking of what you say do you think Johnny the size of a country like China it means that the kind of old you know the old fellow without a lot of energy isn t going to work as well in China because you got to have someone who s going to put in the air miles and just get around and really put the hard yards in getting to know the players all over the country so you think the size of the country means they ll be better to go with a young. More dynamic count yeah I think I think definitely what it basically says you what clubs and national federations really really want is they love people who work there work hard. And member. 10 years ago in Seoul as the sole had a fancy a Portuguese coach called I know of in Dr Who had it not decent career and he too actually sold her title placement confocal but sold it in the news contract the reason why was his predecessor was an openness who was a Turkish coach which I want to work up but when his didn t win a title but he stayed at the office from dawn to the club office from Dawn and all the way through till late at night and the East Asian war corporate work ethic all of did was anger he can went on people just thought he was lazy no matter that. He got weasels and maybe hasn t been doing that so I think that you have to be seen to put in the work in the I was in. He would be had success as a cook course in China and that and his work was working for a club that has very close connection to the national team for a time his crew is paying his salary as a national team coach. But Mr 2nd Sam It certainly hasn t worked and I think any size of the country does make things very difficult but you know I think you have to perform the basic issues of you know what is most to message football as you can . And yes I think you know the work of projects that people have this image of China as a country is you know it always takes a long view. Over time slowly very strategic on terror thinking and it will do what it needs to get won t need to go in 10203040 years but in football it s a mess. But who knows it can happen Jack hopefully the answer your question many fold thank you for calling call up any time Adrian as our Adam is in Santiago . I don t know how you know very very well thanks very much is that Santiago as in Chile. In Tate Yeah they never. Say you know about really I don t they mention place. On Up all night it s no not on night we have been on up all night but yeah well field of play I m Tim for the lack of inclusion of the c c 3 race question dependent Yeah question dependent and I suppose you re going to say a word about evil morale is being ousted as president of Bolivia really the story is it but it s Ecuador Isn t it nice politically if you re sort of politics with your 1st answer even if he s Indianapolis. Anyway you see what show you going into out of. Yeah well it s it s actually quite difficult to know where to begin with Will this because much about him please bear in Chile at the moment. Quite the game with a question to the Test match that is left in him believe the stakes much less than in Chile and a measurement Chile have scheduled that again the next weekend by the things to move on they raced off for a month without any games doesn t look like the season will waste any time say in Bolivia as far as I m aware. I m getting close to the end of the year and call to live at the door is true with me they might not quite show what s going to happen with the story places if. If if if I season think it finished by the I have a point I really wanted to bring up with Tim and to get his opinion on well with all the trouble here in here in Santiago I have a couple lifted spinal cord moved from Santiago to Lima. And I m just wondering if Tim has any concern for the following layman now because everything I ve read about the ground has moved to a monument in Lima apparently holds 80000. And called into some people I know in Lima it s hardly ever actually held games at capacity. And. Called me if I only have one entrance and she d go by Sadly a lot of river Flamingo fans going to the stadium full time and it s just a little bit of a concern for me. With Lima it was completed on the highest sort of marathon a final a few months ago is now being completed at short notice. Hold a much bigger file. With a much bigger influx of coming in and. Less Safe Baby and yeah that s just a few concerns maybe we can start with since hold on on that little sore spot Ok and move here and there of there are far back to you because I would love to be in Chile at the moment I think and if I was that type of journalist that s where I would be because the this for me is one of the biggest stories in the world at the moment what s happening in Chile but anyway it s not just the sort American a final that was switched from Lima and moved out to India up in playing in Paris in Paraguay last Saturday is also the world on the 17 Cup which culminates in its final this Sunday between Brazil and Mexico that was originally scheduled for Peru as well and I got taken away. So why has the limited audience final ended up going to Lima really because once they decided that it couldn t happen in Santiago and they held on for as long as I could in the end I think they were probably the decisive thing yeah the decider they re all these quite it s a complicated thing they re all these commercial contracts and also you know remember the fans are voting shelled out tickets you know airfares and so on and how tells. You could have got to Santiago with a few hours drive no go go all the way to Lima it s like yes another coincidence. So what were the alternatives if you keep it in South America and I m sure there were one or 2 people think in Miami Miami Miami let s go to Miami if kept it in South America what will turn it in well one Paraguay does Paraguay have the structure for 2 giant teams and also it s very very hot this time this time of the year. You re a guy nice one but it s far too it s far closer to Argentina that it is to Brazil. I don t think a Brazilian would have accepted it so in the end they can to chose Lima I think because it s equally inconvenient for everyone you know it s pretty much equidistant between between both Rio and Bono s Artie s it s a long way to go not not far from Miami obviously but you re right about this the stadium the the money went out of system of the University Club and I ve been to been it s 10 years since I ve been been to Peru but if you ve been a few times I ve never managed to get to that stadium you know why because it s so far out it s a long long and wide down just one avenue the. I d love to see not. One somewhat I would love to see it s a relatively modern stadium it looks like an impressive stadium but there was once I was calculating and the problem was it s very nice problem to have it was this show I was couldn t guarantee that I ll be back in time because it s such a long while you know it s a relatively early kickoff in Peru it s 3 o clock in the afternoon kickoff so I think that the sets of fans will have problems getting there I m sure you know it s a big showpiece occasion my maybe there will be problems policing the avenues especially after the guy but it s a showpiece occasion so you you hope nothing goes wrong it s really not ideal I don t blind go I don t blame the football authorities for the fact that Santiago wasn t viable and some people here are a look at look at Commodore comparable to South American joy for it s something that transcends football and it could and South America is unstable could happen could could it could happen anywhere and I remember the journey Confederations Cup here 2013. When that really really rocked and it s because I have that memory and I thought that when it when it happened I thought it was going to be a very positive social movement and I don t think it has turned out to be a very positive social movement I think that Chile situation is much much. Different it s because of that experience I had watching that in 20 thing that without being on the ground in Chile I m reluctant to know what to make of it yet what to make of the direction the political direction and so on the social direction that this thing Kotite Now I understand Adam that football fans there United are in are in the vanguard of this and the fact that they re united would seem to me species if it can because there have been big problems of fan violence in Chile between the big Santiago clubs is that just talk that real What s your feeling from the mood of the streets. Yes it s been pretty interesting in our 1st of all our life. Free much but 10 days into this whole movement it was it was very obvious to me that there was no way that the libbers or its final could be played in Santiago actually write a couple of a couple of paces for a couple outlets in just that and a few days later it did finally get. The thing about football fans coming together. It s very true they might have a nice. Hot looming I m not sure if that s the right word but prosperity the same because color color than one of us is that the chili fans and one of us like Republican plants like i hate each other you know as you say that being th issues with with time violence in the country. Sort of a decade ago I started this system of study of Socorro and to get into a stadium in Chile the state is actually quite involved. It s not particularly easy compared to. Parts of of of South America you have to have your id with you. 9 times out of 10 specially for the big guy in chief had to have your ticket online . And I really had to cut cut out that. Stadium violets to say all of us that the chili fans call or call the fans and Cattolica fans all joined together in the center of Santiago why even a flag stick of a in unison at this huge social and political movement just going on here in Chile was was incredible they. Just the other thing about being united in is I don t want to retire until the situation is resolved in this country now that s actually quite a because the national team and I meant the playas for the national team decided I wouldn t I wouldn t fly so Chinese I m sitting coat off. Adam if you don t mind do you keep us updated let s as you pointed out been remiss or not reporting that in the context of the world will phone him but now we will and do keep up today on a weekly basis if you like The Great to hear from you again we always hope South American football every week in any case feel free to thank you in Bournemouth is it Lewis or Louie. Louie Louie you get asked that all the time. Was strangely enough oh Mark Pesce chickens are larger Cornello you know I asked any other identification a salary or even. Ok. Because people is ask me all the time is it Dawson or is it done. And. To be a brick These are phone a phone I told in. I would never. Not do to grab these I m a of mine too by the way very good indeed Anyway it s all yours may Louis. Area I was just wondering. Since only attention to know on. Brazilian Mormon players playing for the chain. last d June which is well and I sorta tell exclusive to people. And raise and Brazil. And to any other countries have a version of this. While. Well I m spacious now. As I believe it was like maybe a Christian couple where. He meant the dawn. And rhythm Oh. Ok. It s. In football terms it s just the kind of swipes. That there s an element of marketing you know as if this is only our thing who don t tell the world cup year ago Belgian who s offended most on the field he even has a job you know the copyright owner. I had a trip south American couple years ago and I actually went to the border of fuel quiet ambers. And football games going on and ha so I decided that I love to play with Ireland. As a song What if you form only your y. . Side of the border. But if you are born the Brazilian side you do not you know a status or away. Now you know I think it s a little bit of marketing marketing in in this something that costs y. The hips and then the dance thing yes it s a part of of Brazilian football but you know you re a guy have come up with one or 2 in the past and a specially go back to the early twenty s and the one of the 1st black star of world football more ginger than the you can shake a stick at Ok enough of this jingoism and but I do have it I do have it myself clearly don t I Tim. With it without without doubt without doubt.
