Mr naveen to latvia arrived in the United Kingdom in the 1970 s. With 3 pounds of his pocket before going on to complete a conversion course and pharmacy at the university of sunderland after working at Whittington Hospital he moved to dagenham where he opened to latty chemists and serve the local community for 35 years sadly the safety of the 18th he became one of the 42000 u. K. Victims of covert 19 his sudden dot com last a lengthy joins me from london bottle at tell me a better about your dad tell me about his life and his work my partner was one of the 1st sponsors that we can 7 days a week he would go out in the evenings america shop late at night for emergency prescriptions so he was known for generations and generations and weve had untold emails in tributes given over the touching story something that hed done for someones father brother sister. And it brings back memories he was the heart with communities music Light Security deliver medicines to the elderly and then to him it was all about the community and serving the community. And imo similarly to me he was not only my father but my best friend brother and my mental molester tell us a bit about covert 19 impacted on your family because not just yourself but your pregnant wife and the did your mother it was afflicted by the disease. Thats correct it tore through our family and our calling family trust and this story probably resonates with so many people across the u. K. My wife my mother and my father theyre all in the High Risk Group and the upsetting part is we call chip very very early on in march and you know my father passed away i could have been also at the funeral of my mother and my wife and you truly understand when we lose someone. Literally every morning every evening in a house its not the same its its changed our lives forever a taking on the the government is no mean feat how are you going to finance taking on the big battalions and the illegal action it without a lot of support or a Crown Justice that were raising funds and also theres been so many which you see so many touching stories of families that have you know lost both parents and there is a lot of anger and were finding a lot of support out there in the community. For us to bring this legal action against the government seeking answers not only for me but will support the other families that have been affected and youre completely right and its no me. But i am resident in my determination to get down says and live from the mistakes that have been made. I report can be achieved do you believe for your legal action that wouldnt be discovered the jew course an inquiry over the be a Public Inquiry on a parliamentary inquiry what specific advantages are the in a legal action in terms of the scuffling the truth we need our answers now and none of this is forthcoming to government on happening larrie weve asked for this petition was sent then i have a meeting or each they dont really mean theyre saying were in a pandemic i tell you agree really a pandemic and we need to learn from the lessons now the academics are asking for is the scientists asking for this and the families are asking to believe your lot the winter will approach just and we will be in a position where we could well have a big 2nd wave if we havent learned our lessons now neural aboard objects will happen and of the arguments made in criticism of government policy theres the issue of the delay and walk down the delay in communicating the dangers to the public there is the issue of the lack of protective equipment and theres the covenant still running issue of the the state of the test and trace system in your estimation of these free areas of failure what has been the most damning. I think the testing you know we british people are with you know were all in this together and we want to protect each other and if they conveyed information even if they didnt do the looked at it everybody can break information it could be in the community and been honest with us like so many other government countries a bit on us and said look it could be the community would not stop p. P. We know we expect you know 90 percent of people that have died a bit over 60 we call of duty so if theyd been honest to us and said until we wrap up testing until we wrap up testing and p. P. And all the supplies we need to protect the most vulnerable in the community it would have bought us a lot more time weve done a lot down earlier then we would have had time to improve our tests and trace the n. H. S. Were not we know the burden in literally weeks where that not enough p. P. Not ups testing you can in the employer hospital stops or so many hospital stock or sick you know everything was pressured white because we let it go in the community untested so the biggest failure has been not testing in february. That dont apply to you yourself what conservative Party Candidate in the 2017 election but would you argue that theres nothing political in the in your legal action this is about your family and other families seeking to hold ministers or whatever party to account i think is very poor alex to say to make one thing clear is not political coverage doesnt effect the left or right it backs everyone all of us people that have died a bit in different political spectrum but we have a morality and what is right and weve got to have contrition you cannot say weve done the right decisions at the right songs and thats why im taking this action because the have to misstate we can clearly see that were not saying that youre going to get things right every time this being an epic failure and theres been so many deaths like my partners that could have been avoided and i think its very very important as a nation we do not make this political we want to have a solution so no other problems like my family has to go through the grief the sorrow and it doesnt get easier. All those families but i think its very very important that those lessons i learned now and why they let now with that if i can say like in the future when of the chief might go and its not a pow you know scoring points its about say where did we go wrong what can we do better and how do we prevent this and we need those on says now because if we dont have those on says all those people that dont want to look then we have another locked up all those lives are lost to lose more innocent lines if i can prevent one avoidable death then ive done something and i think many people feel the same. And how did you feel when previous government advisers some common Government Advisors indicated recently that if a lockdown had been implemented even though we can live a perhaps up to half of the lives lost could have been saved i have to agree with them alex the evidence is there the facts are there we cant get away from the fact. It was in the community at lockdown was earlier we would have saved a lot more lives you could have you know people forget in march but 1st we came on 2nd week in march the pubs were cracked the restaurants were packed and it was in our community so and it wasnt that we could have the warning bells we had warning bells we saw what was happening in italy elect everybody to agree we saw what was happening in spain so the ruling songs were there and i think the government voices the scientific advisor that make those facts it had occurred earlier we can argue about the numbers but we can argue about the fact with more lives would have been cited a 100 percent more likely for more families with nothing to live tough and want things very very clear alex were going to take ownership of our choices right or wrong and i dont think matt hancock or the secretary of state has done us in other countries have been contrition where people are publicly said look a made a mistake but here we still resonate as late as last week saying we did the right things at the right time and not by the insulting to my family and many many other time exam last local. And dr to let if you had a message to give today from your family to Health Hancock to Prime Minister balas johnson what would that message be the utmost importance is to protect the richest citizens and were all in this together we need to learn from our mistakes now if we can learn from the mistakes that we made then we can save lives Going Forward not at a lathi from london thank you very much indeed for joining me on the isle of salmon sure thank you very much and its. Joining us after the break will be discuss the governments reaction to the disproportionate instance of covert 19 among the citizens that champion of the minority communities of this is.

Just dont do shit whats your. Theory but just what did you do one case to come up with. The underlying idea of the workshop is a calendar of happiness which they feel thrilled to find julie little sings of. Some control from middle class to homeless for the night most some are very hardworking people who want to get ahead that have either have some some Health Issues or have some of it had a string of bad luck the whole time joel moon told me hes paying for a place to live and missing just a months rent can get you a victim to gunpoint if anything bad happens to any thing that just throws your budget off slightly. Better catch up real quick or youre going to have a judgment of possession against you and get a ticket by anyone thats homeless is treated like garbage people look at you like a monster or someone bad or you chose to be there most of the time its not the case. See how it is to be paul in the worlds richest country. Speaking to a west point graduate strong 6 were ending the era of endless wars 4 years ago on the campaign trail he said tensely the same thing twice and so did the goal for this president to make good on this promise why make the promise again. Welcome back. Because being clear of the black lives when publishing a report on covert 19 and the b m e communities out of the government have come on the sustained political fire for not publishing that element of the review recommended. And talked about institutionalized racism until this week. But a lot of action speaks louder than words say the critics or i talked about in this hooton who regular speaks out for minority communities and the fans in 1st the women in the house of lords. Of hope and some the you by the evidence of covert 19 has had a greater impact a moment norah to communities im deeply concerned and i have been persistently trying to raise this matter in the house there are countless reports on the system and on government shelves various point over the past decade which has not been addressed and so now we come to see that these Health Inequalities has resulted in terrible outcomes where we have lost power isnt thousands of people perhaps not needed to do that i know personally that one of the finest doctors who died sadly and my condolences go to all the families who lost their loved ones and you know of course we all celebrate the care workers in the n. H. S. Workers who have relentlessly you know made our life safer we know what professor fenton a said and others have said b. M. May achieve have said that theres been a great disproportionality which need not have happened and could have saved lives how surprised were you how conserve and that the government seemed to suppress the section of the report from Public Health england which indicated both what solutions vacuum and they sions of could be also that institutionalized racism could be an aspect of why there was a disproportionate effect on the minority communities. Historically institutions have always wanted to suppress racism and discrimination structural and direct and overt and covert and that has impacted you know huge away the lives of minority communities after all their citizens you know ok i came here as a migrant with my father and my mother and my siblings but my children and my grandchildren are definitely british citizens and they have to be taken seriously as. Members of all communities and their lives matter we need to address the healthy qualities we need to address employment opportunities. We need to address housing we need to therefore address the Health Outcomes so yeah the solutions are out there we need to listen and government must admit for the 1st time that there is institutionalize and Structural Racism and discrimination within all institutions and they need to be addressed. Now the statistics from Public Health england show that the Bangladeshi Community is twice as likely to suffer the impact and indeed to die of covert 19 than the general population certainly compared to white britons shopped for you by that fine but. I was deeply shocked and saddened that that is clearly evident im really angry that i know i was involved in the campaign to try and eradicate Health Inequalities for 40 years 40 years ago since and those very very important factors still half revelent in our lives i want to just say one thing bangladeshi communities over the district terrible tragedies have done immense work to try and take care of those who are didnt have access to food and access to services by creating you know Community Generated initiatives in a very very small way you know i was now working with a couple of Womens Organization you know raising funds raising mosques and gloves and i have to say thank you very much to the beijing beijing association and you know im doubtful a man and doctor sat for hours and m. R. John they all helped me to try and raise some funds to try and assist because this is shown for the fast time being credible work that goes on in the community but we cant do it alone we have to have Institutional Support and resources including particularly for women because as you know already alex over the last 2030 years weve known the family bangladeshi women are the least likely to be in employment it is not to say that theyre not educated it is not to say that theyre not in the employment system but they are at the very low lower end and we need to embrace. The fact that you know we have behaved very. To what many communities im in parliament but you know i feel equally as not able to get the agenda in front of ministers and government so somebody who is in you know in their a home in one of the flats how are they going to have waited you know we need our voices to be had very loud and clear that its action no more rhetoric no no packet use and no more just saying ok and other reports are less certain from london thank you very much indeed its a pleasure always thank you that little child is 100 years young joining the ramadan he set up on a boston walk round this communal garden in order to raise money for good causes in bangladesh and here in the u. K. Its a little target was 1000 pounds now having almost raised 300 titles at about double joins me with his son from London Capital trout 3 what inspired you to start off in this modest fundraiser order kept saying told im sorry oh oh i see sir tom moore yes absolutely i see double otro do it tell me a better about what youve been doing to to raise the money. I woke a few recharges 100 times and i go moldy is that money. My work is basically a lecture father is. Walking his communal garden which is on the ground floor very flat and. The idea started because of the corona virus which means that my father had to self isolate about 3 months ago and my worry was that when he self isolating that he wont have much to do so this is was a way of keeping him busy here from me you know what do you think if i was to raise money for charity because my father a very giving person and when he started walking. My my son he started just giving page and i said look if you can walk up and down the communal garden then you know this put a target of a 1000 pounds to raise money for d the victims of the coronavirus and thats how the whole thing started but within 8 hours of actually putting up page currently my father is raised including on the just giving page. 280000 pounds including the gift and other groups and raised money for this for this charity so dubreuil cowdrey if i can turn back to you for a 2nd how many miles have you managed to do so far i can walk 60 my eggs by really so i was used to eat so i thought terry stop walking then. Being i do you see. My dad my dad comes from a very rural part of bangladesh where its covered with water and you know to move around you have to walk quite a long distance. A double cowdrey. Packages understand arrived this week can and bangladesh the packages of aid them assistance how excited were you to see the results of all your efforts my feeling even the fantastic in playing east and gas coming out from my i. I think its i think theres another point and that is that its going to 26. 00 different charities so the 1st part of it was my Partners Village but its going to 26. 00 charities and 50 Different Countries including the u. K. And finally that little child really developing advice keep festivities for youngsters such as myself after your experience of us modified walking it is very good for my has if i walk and had the past. If i keep my heads steady. Or do for them i. Walk 30 or not ask people so i said 40 just distressed people and needy people thank you. You know my mother is saying is that for. People who walk in keep fit and its very important my fathers 100 years old. To be able to be mobile it keeps the fluids in the body going and my father has actually his own technique in boarding up and keeping himself as out and you know he likes to. Hes walking it actually has different steps as well that he uses and keeps him so entertaining and he you know he is a. Follower of poetry so he recites poetry as well.

The little child to thank you very much indeed for appearing on al examine show thank you very much either thank you thank you thank you thank you previous to be at review. By the middle of may of this year 90 percent of doctors to die from covert 19 came from britains b m e communities is hardly a surprise therefore when the government published on a port confirming the bulk of average instance of this deadly virus among minority communities what was a surprise is that the delayed publication of an aspect of the report was recommended sefton actions and also which indicated the institutionalized racism may be a contributory factor to the problem if the u. K. Government had set out to raise suspicions among ethnic minorities that could hardly have acted with more insensitivity. Feelings are running high because of covert 19 because of the death of jobs floyd because of institutionalized racism because of the law. But dont come in is no identikit protest he was a conservative candidate in the 2017 election he is rather a grieving son mourning the death of his father just as thousands of all of families across the United Kingdom are mourning in the country which has the 2nd highest death toll from this deadly virus and then taiwan and the daily revelations of the impact of a delayed law in the bulleted to protect the elderly the failure to a stylish and affective test and facing regime all of these add to the anguish of grieving families some of will be expressed through legal action. May just be the last example of the coming few days that all voted on the stations across the u. K. Will have to face as grieving relatives the key question of why have so many died in the u. K. And why one of their relatives among the casualties and so from this mean a myself and all of the show as goodbye for now stay safe well see you next week.
