And then Gillum Rice was stabbed 3 other people have been previously charged more than 145 flood warnings are in force in England and Wales today last night several people had to be rescued from stranded cars in Oxfordshire and train services across the Midlands were disrupted by flooding and landslides and more than 22016 to 25 year olds will be homeless or at risk of homelessness this Christmas according to the charity Centrepoint the figures are based on data collected from councils across England the government says it's provided 76000000 pounds to help reduce rough sleeping and of course England brilliant performance last night Ok against we can. But 11 is 117 l. How we came breaking all kinds of records going past was it 4 or 5 top scorers Yeah playing coding Aventura not bad have checked for Cain some more to come on the to a little bit later on Good Morning this morning from 9 o'clock the Conservative leader and the prime minister Boris Johnson is in the studio to answer your questions I have just been to see how majesty the queen who has invited me to form a government and I have accepted and so I am standing before you today to tell you the British people the glooms does they are going to get it wrong again we're going to fulfill the repeated promises of Parliament and come out of the e.u. a Lot Tobler 31st no ifs or buts we have of course be pushing your plan into action so it's getting ready to come out October 31st 31st call come what may come out may do it I'd rather be dead in a ditch he would resign fast prime minister I love than going out for that dilemma I really cost a $1000000000.00 pounds a month it achieves absolutely nothing is the point of further delay there will be ample time on both sides of that crucial October 17th summit in Parliament for M.P.'s to debate ample time I don't want an early election and no one much wants to have an election in December but we've got to the stage where we have no choice because our parliament. It is paralyzed it's been stuck in a rut I've got to the stage where I'd be willing to chew my own time in frustration because in a sense was so nearly well we'll be keeping an eye on that side a little bit later on because he's going to be talking to you from 9 o'clock we've invited the leaders of all 7 main parties to do the same between now and the election spend an hour talking to you on your call what do you want to ask him 8558 you can e-mail your questions at bbc dot com dot u.k. Or you can get involved on social media using the hash tag b.b.c. Your questions and also be on the b.b.c. News channel and b.b.c. Online at the same time we'll talk about everything I hope beyond what matters to you what's happening in your life that you want him to know about what is it that the politicians don't get on the forest Onsen here in the studio that on storing your questions text now 85058 let's speak to Dr Victoria honeymooned lecturer in British politics at the University of Leeds Good morning good morning how do you think the campaign is going for him personally so far. I have to be honest I don't think the campaign is going particularly well and I think that politicians generally in this particular climate are expecting to find the company a little bit rough particularly when they go out the public but I think that their experience that Bush Johnson has had when he went to fish like for example is just as I don't cast away they have experienced very severe flooding was was not particular the photo call that he was after he was asked some very tricky questions by the people there and we've heard that all the great sessions have props been downgraded already council you know Boris Johnson built his reputation in the conservative party and having the common touch been able to go out and sell his vision to ordinary people in the streets and I think that we've seen over the last few days that isn't necessarily working quite so well amount but does this stuff stick with him because sometimes it seems like it doesn't there is. Well he appears to have misrepresented facts or misled the public or done enormous u. Turns for example when it comes to Bracks it and yet you look at the poll ratings on the conservatives are doing very well he personally seems to command quite quite a lot of support it's an absolutely valid point there is an argument that those that like Boris Johnson like those who support like Jeremy Koeppen are almost kind of insulated from this they don't view it in the same terms as those who are undecided or critical of those individuals so there is an argument that really these these photo opportunities this campaigning is trying to appeal to a certain group of individuals and and that they have that the dive in the wool supporters are not really feeling the impact of those problems along the way that being sad the conservatives if they wish to win a majority in this next coming parliament need to be able to appeal to people beyond their traditional spectrum they need to be able to get some of those quite close constituencies and therefore they do need those people who perhaps are wavering to listen to them it will be interesting to say whether or not they're able to to do that when we get to the general election and talking about Labor's promise to. To commit to free full fiber broadband for all homes and businesses in the u.k. By 2030 if they win a general election John McDonnell will talk about that later on but how much to policies matter how much the headline grabbing gifts like this make the difference I think it entirely depends upon what the policy it's so for example that the issue of broadband is one that has been kind of bubbling around not just in the Labor Party but in other European countries the idea about if you don't have free access to broadband if you don't have extensive access to broadband in the Internet does that damage your socio economic. And it is are you able to apply for jobs are you able to research for companies before you get into these so it has been bubbling around as an issue for quite some considerable time I think that the parties will want to grab attention and the Labor Party in particular are attempting to suggest to the electorate that they are viewing politics in a different way that they're approaching it slightly differently that they willing to spend money in order to change the the set up that Britain currently has but we've seen all of the main parties do at least in the Liberal Democrats talking about a penny in income tax we've seen the conservatives talking about and increasing police numbers 28000 was that number which was was then critiqued by a number of individuals and then we saw Teleni yesterday talking about immigration so all of the big parties are trying to grab attention and focus on specific policies but whether or not they're hitting hung with anyone outside their own electorate that is is tricky and I'm afraid the pollsters are having a very difficult time at the moment trying to graft issues into preexisting knowledge about the electorate and how Bracks it has affected them also because so many of the dynamics of of who or how much of a swing needs to be in between what parties and and how different constituencies might vote and behave a solo Cologne so you have perhaps more strong remains supporting constituencies in the south of England more leave supporting constituencies in the north both of those are going to swing a bill either way on that issue potentially And but in a sense you need a different message for every part of the country don't you that's absolutely right the idea of leaving remain constituencies is really only half of the tail because in any constituency regardless of which side won that particular battle in the BRICs referendum there's a whole group of individuals who may have changed their minds they may have moved from remain to leave all leave to remain there of different versions of what they're looking for if they do want to Bret's it Dale and there's a whole group of people who didn't vote during the. Referendum on the e.u. Then you factor in local issues you folk fact serious issues relating to party loyalty is often sexual a loyalties to specific individuals within specific constituencies and what you end up with is an incredibly complicated picture you're talking about a shift from minority government to majority government that doesn't require hundreds of M.P.'s but does require dozens and therefore it's incredibly difficult for anybody really to say with any confidence who is likely to be the winner in this general election Well we've had some burning questions already so far from our listeners and I knew I was down I'll read some of those in a sec but if you had him in front of you this morning Victoria what would you be asking him I would ask I would be asking him about Bret's I know that it is the age old issue but nonetheless it continues to fascinate me and my question would be how can you possibly claim the BRICs it will be finished it is like a microwaveable meal that will be done by the end of January when virtually every expert tells us that BRICs it will continue for the better part of a decade while we negotiate a trade deal that would be my question well I'm sure we will get on to thank you so much my pleasure it'll take you to Dr Victoria honey I'm an electorate in British politics at the University of Leeds thank you than your questions coming in thick and fast is a few Keith has tweeted b.b.c. Your questions we want an extension to the transition period if we leave as no deal will be a disaster please confirm you will put jobs before your own career this is from Beth why won't he has time to release the Russian reports before the general election 29000 what does he have to lose you can also text on a 5 o $58.00 like Lee who's a social worker he said peace to me as the prime minister more and more children and their families are falling into poverty more children in care over the last year cuts to Children Services year on year what will the conservatives do to eradicate child poverty and improve local services for children and young people and another one hit want to be afraid that you will be fine. Tax Web giants like Amazon and Google out the correct rate or will this opportunity be lost in a trade deal with the u.s. I asked Nick and Winchester. Getting so many questions how to keep up with variety is amazing as well so keep those coming It's 12 minutes past 7 now this is b.b.c. Radio 5 Live on digital b.b.c. Sound it's small speakers and of course we're concerned most of all Lucy most in this warning about running full given the number of flood warnings that are still in place across the country what are we expecting today. We are expecting fad the rain but it doesn't look anywhere near as heavy as what we saw yesterday the focus of yesterday's rain is sitting across the north of England at the moment is that we saw yesterday and it is going to be through the day it's attending by say it with some sunny spells coming 3 plus the rest of England and Wales there's a fair amount of cloud around to be had some showery outbreaks of rain but there will be some brightness feeding into parts of southwest and then through the day will see rain pushing into southeast England central and these Midlands as we move into the afternoon heavy at them or see through this morning some brightness across Scotland Northern Ireland but also the chance of seeing a few showers and the showers could be wintry I've a high ground it is a breezy day today as well got a fresh north northeasterly wind and temperatures feeling fairly cool with highs of 5 to 8 degrees Celsius in the north 7 to 10 in the south and 5 across the u.k. This is b.b.c. 5 live for God breakfast Good morning it's going up to 40 minutes past 7 on this Friday morning Friday the 15th of November is Rachel Bergman Chris will be with you this morning we talk about the cost of football strips thrown way the replica kits how much that can set families back but what about football and rugby boots just the boots for children can get pretty pricey as well I mean you can get some cheap ones but then of course the tradeoff with that. They're going to fall apart after a pretty short while Col Bradley has had a really neat idea the calls from Nathan and he's got a kind of boot room on the go he's collated more than $100.00 pairs of boots to donate to struggling families which is a great idea called Good morning good morning all you very well and thanks for talking to us about this this is a really nice initiative you've got going here how did it start. Well basically when I was in a coffee shop my boys and the 10 football team in me. And we were playing a pre-season friendly and I already had a parent on the touchline saying that she didn't know that if their son would be back to play for the new season because she simply couldn't afford the cost of new boots and so basic that got me thinking. About an idea to actually collect unwanted books and donate them to families not just you know unemployed single parents nothing it's just anybody in need. Which is a great idea and so how did you get the message out there then well basically on a Sunday morning I had a game with my boy. We set it up on Facebook and then literally I came on the plane again and just went absolutely crazy as these things sometimes get when you get I would say to radio so 100 passes I mean what were you expecting to get when you put this out well to the altar here we had a launch event last night at the Liberty Stadium inform the and we literally over well $170.00 passable it's amazing where you keep in the mall Well that's a good question up until last night they were basically all my house. As from today they'll be a boot room that I've been given by on the set the. Live in the stadium and they'll also be an arcade up occasion now to form the trust fund city trust where the baby will be able to go and pick up her books fantastic how you kind of coordinating all of that then how does that work and plans of people coming in and getting them well basic people of a message to the page book room and then I'll pass the details on to from the city what size they need they will Buxton and then basically they just go down economics is easier how much is a pair of football boots for kids these days for people who haven't got children at that kind of a well you know for a decent pair that will last you for a bit I suspect a lot of people over the last couple of days and we've got a lot of contact now with a lot of children of this on the city Cademy now I've paid 50 pounds for my my son's parables for him to play for his team our very surprised the cost of children food anywhere from $7.00 to $200.00 pounds some tears are 120 pound these kids need them twice a season ask for a Monday isn't it I mean. No wonder but I suppose 50 quid ones that's kind of mid-range isn't it I lost you for quite a while they'll be well my one they but I guess you look back do you a little bit of your childhood I mean you had your own experiences of struggling to afford stuff like this yes I did going back when I was 15 I paid for my local local t.v. Here in me. Back about the same idea I couldn't you know my parents couldn't afford to have a public I was given a size that was given to me by someone on an older age group one size too big and I that's why usually season those books tell me well I played well and I got selected for the Morgan flex site so it is you know nice to get the else does take me back to thinking you know there are people in my in my same boat and I just want to be there to say look we cut out got a feeling you could get pretty inundated these things can go on a bit of control. One of our listeners says please give us the address to send the boots to school for children who grow every single year and yet welcome people they call if they want to get in touch and help Yeah well all they see what we want people to do they can obviously send them to me direct which obviously if they inbox me I'll give them an address to send them to but we also open up a consent and straight to let me say again you know for this one lock up the boat room which kind of you know makes a little bit easier but obviously I got no comment anybody mention to the Bill Shelley questions request I can tell you we need more people like Tom Bradley in the world we really don't thank you very much indeed it's a great initiative in the best of luck with it nobody's back you know I mean on very. Early in Essex says Oh my goodness I love the football boots guy this used to try to be crazy when my son was younger perfidy could be worn just a few times but consigned to the been a terrific initiative I hope it can go nationwide I mean you can recycle shoes and you know. Various places you can take shoes trainers and I would have thought football boots along those kind of lawns as well but not as specific as something like Call is they're really good are there and it seems to be working pretty well doesn't it 90 minutes past 7 thank you for the brilliant range of questions that are being sent through to us this morning for the prime minister he's going to be here in the 5 live studio from 9 o'clock this morning for an hour taking your calls your call coming up with Boris Johnson also this morning in the world of politics labor promising free broadband for everyone so we're going to talk to the shadow chancellor John McDonnell before 8 o'clock and we'll talk more about this England football's 1000th game and they had a few more goals to the tally was it a strange way to get into the picture and was thinking according to the opposed to . It she did I think Steve I did tell you came in They've not had the finest day at the back the Montenegran defense in the 2 good for them is to play to biology and the other candidates to teach it's take it to the post to the England captain early in from hurricane last night It's 20 past 7 this is b.b.c. Radio 5 Live on digital b.b.c. Sound small speaker John Murray is the king of the understatement isn't he really not have the best of noids in the monsoon or from the feds that's fair comment it is but let's get a look at the travel news and all that is here while we just take the photo I mean all of this because just the private collection that's actual data that's the flooding so similar picture geographically yesterday at that means counties were Gloucestershire were nothing in the midlands the East Midlands in particular and still parts of South Yorkshire which is still flooded as well which means a road closure is that they are opening but staggered in a structured way at all so trains we still got some sections of track which are under water which is taking out rail services as well so check it trains ahead of travel at the end $62.00 this is the missing manhole cover is on the down side it. Junction closed one of the lanes. At the end 6 in Junction 15 we had a closure was on the southbound side they've reopened the running road so that complete but a junction for. One of the lanes it's on the southbound side for. Close to the m 6 Now this is. A junction $25.00 an accident is close to Lane The queues are backing up the. 26 southbound The m one in West heading north. Has been an accident it's on the. M 25. 26 closed down. The m 25 in the m 20 the m 2700. 5 It's an airport. $1000.00 closed in the Hughes about to attach and. Junction 5. As well and trains just one of the examples. Cross country because of. Travel. I'm looking forward to the point where. Everything. In the future my parents'. House. P.c. Brady is. The prime minister Boris Johnson will be hit in the 5 studios from 9 o'clock this morning altering your questions for your cool will be on. All 7 of the party leaders to come on and do the same over the course of this election campaign a couple of people are saying this is not good I have to be in work at 9 you will be able to listen back to it and watch it back as well will make those details available to you a bit later on in the program thank you very much for getting to us this morning with a burning questions including this one How bad would economic fuel costs have to be for you to reconsider Breck's it been in Sussex now the one here I like many thousands work in the car industry if this heart breaks it goes ahead I expect to be made redundant what's your plan to protect jobs in industry when we leave on the 31st of Jan That's from John in Milton Keynes This is Andrea Darby said good morning on Good Morning when he's not here yet but will imagine he is so well if you go what you want to say to him. I want to ask him how he can justify a 100000000000 will probably mold that being spent on a train set which is going to make sure you sway the country just to get people to launder a little bit quicker millions of people across the country suffering on either one or 2 car trains commuting into cities and. History is not going to do anything for we could spend a lot less money Mike Nice try longer by the platforms longer electrify the lines and it would benefit millions of people straight away for far less than it will to build a chest when we were talking about this just the other day was shown I actually am from Wake up to money he was saying there is obviously cost analysis done the whole time on the h.s.t. Project and as the cost is spiraling upwards the benefit is decreasing but it's still there the people with the numbers still predict that the North of England will benefit financially from h.s.t. Even taking into account the enormous construction costs. To the government's own figures say the average user has to be on more than $70000.00 pounds a year. For the building a railway line for rich people to get to and from London Fast Pass not helping anybody in the rest of the country it's not going to fix someone some of Crom trying trying to get into Manchester now this could 2 carriages if you made those 4 carriage trains it would allow more people to get on and give people a chance of getting a seat to get into places like Manchester or into Leeds thank you so much can Angie I'm hoping that just he will come up this morning and we will get on to it at some stage Thank you very much for getting in touch Alan Beale has got in touch as well with us this morning Alan's in Plymouth Good morning Allan good morning how is Plymouth this morning. Yeah beautiful as a was as one. Moves us if you were so in front of the prime minister this morning what would you ask a man well I need to say the end and desist procrastination the arrogance of these and Hades. Defying actions to choices beyond lace and I want to know how Mr Johnson. Can make this change. Our lines. Gregson or conservative I need to see an end to this 3 and a half years of. Red as a hero and well I guess and I guess he believes that if he has the majorities looking for then he will be able to push it through but do you believe him when he says you know it's like a microwave Mailer just being able to stick it in warm it up and breaks it is done it's not as simple as that is it absolutely no are I'm not sure the. Engine is in Jenison or like it enough to get through. I just don't believe anything just saying oh it's just a constant. Pressure of law is better than any anybody who will tell you that they will get bricks it done and in the end the general election that will pretty much be 8 the it's being disingenuous but the truth isn't enough to point out be the answer to your question in reality isn't to Alan the actual fact you are then going to go into months possibly years of trade negotiations that could be more extensions despite what they say at the moment and. It will go that that is the reality whatever happens isn't it absolutely and that's not my problem it's just we're never going to see the end of this I don't think any any quick fix. Least if we can get to the point where we we have a tail that's great and we are. You know we have a definitely. You know it would be such a relief. Allan thank you that was Alan who is in Plymouth keep your questions coming I 5 o 5 a at b.b.c. 5 Live was the hash tag we're going to hash tag b.b.c. Your question you got it because it is the prime minister bar songs and hear from 9 o'clock this morning right. Let's just move on to other news for a moment and we've been talking about the longest flight this morning 11000 miles 19 hours the 1st ever nonstop passenger flight from London to Sydney has touched down in the last few hours it was a test flight to look at the impact on passengers and it's Michele is an aviation analyst tire next Good morning you weren't on it then I were not I was not no from the 1st delivery sense as though this is the Air Bus and through conduit where they're preparing aircraft that will hopefully become the aircraft to fly the Qantas route if they launch flights between London and Sydney so they will be the regular vehicles would you like to have been on it 19 hours sounds like an awfully long time to be only flown many flights across the globe that are in excess of 17 hours 17 hours 45 my longest was 18 hours so they're actually more common than you might expect and that's why I'm amazed Qantas have been very successful at the headline grabbing because it I'm not sure they will find anything too substantial in terms of their scientific findings because there are a lot of long haul flights around the today what they are being clever is though is really looking at the design of the service should you just because it's a morning flight be expected to have breakfast or should they be saying you know what we need to match the Sydney time zone it's time to go to bed yes what are the challenges technically with a flight of this length where the challenge is technically this is known as Project sunrise this whole thing with Qantas and Qantas have put it to both aircraft manufacturers to air bus here I am now in the south of France and also to Boeing in Seattle and they have told both manufacturers that they want an aircraft that will be able to fly from London to Sydney nonstop and so it's up to these 2 to deliver to Qantas their proposals they have to look at those proposals already and Qantas will decide by the end of the year who they are going with whether it's a Boeing that is successful in winning this tender should Quantas fit their kind of viability analysis and scale that they think they can make work for London Sydney route so do you think it will be popular. I think it all because they have already demonstrated it with their existing u.k. London to Perth nonstop route that already flies every single day they have already demonstrated that there are just as many people who would like to fly nonstop as there are who would want to stop strips that begs you know a bit of a relaxation time on the ground so because there are there is that market demand already I think this will be successful and they're demonstrating that with thank you very much well I hope you do get on at some stage Thank you and yes it will be fascinating to see kind of commercially how viable this is on a mission there is an aviation analyst talking about the 1st of a nonstop passenger flight from London to Sydney touching down there in Sydney just in the last few hours at $730.00 on digital b.b.c. Sound smart Speaker this is b.b.c. Radio 5 Live Here are some headlines for you Labor says it will give every home and business in the u.k. Free full fiber broadband by 2030 if it wins the general election it will be paid for by in part the part nationalization of Bt and a tax on tech giants the conservatives have dismissed it as a fantasy plan Tom McDonald here on this program before 8 o'clock Boris Johnson here for an hour from 9 and heavy rain is causing more disruption in parts of England and Wales last night several people had to be rescued from stranded cars in Oxfordshire and train services across the Midlands were disrupted by flooding and landslides the number of children in England suffering a severe allergic reaction has risen every year for the past 5 years there were more than one and a half 1000 method to hospital last year and Taylor Swift is claiming all her performances for the next year are in doubts of the she was told she can't sing songs from her past albums it's off to Masters of her early music was sold by her former record label and there's some talk that say this with the Glastonbury this year or next year but this year she was a reference as I said since a pass at the a.t.p. World tour really is that day he said Are you a right to play here at the o 2 in London following in the likes. It was the magnificent 7 for going that well yeah apt because it's all about numbers this morning plated by Alexander over the t.v. Was just shit so I take it to the 1st time I took the England captain Yes a magnificent 7 nil when Captain came up to 6 from England scores charts 5 half time for individual scores another 3 goals for Kane to assist for chill well and a place at Euro 2020 in the back Alex Chamberlain Marcus Rushford also scored while Tommy Abraham of Chelsea got his 1st for his manager. It's a beautiful moment in that the 1st time you forget sometimes the joy of that shows go for England and the joy of any goal for England but you can see what that meant to him and yeah especially on an occasion like tonight that a young player comes on and gets his 1st go clavicle as well coming around the blind side of the defendant to score from close range Southgate was very disappointed by some booing Joe Gomez received after his bust up with rain Sterling on Monday Sterling was dropped as a result he's taken the blame completely and says the Blues were wrong Speaking of hat tricks last night Christiane are inadequate the 55th of his career is obscene isn't it Portugal beat Lithuania 61 and he's got 98 international goals now are now the Republic of Ireland beat New Zealand 31 in a friendly while the Premier League has promised to improve v.a. OS consistency and speed and also increase communication with fans in stadiums now Ben Stokes and both took a couple of wickets in England's latest warm up match against the New Zealand 18 but the hosts still reach 303-0246 they declared on and there is a slight injury concern over Captain Joe Root his stocks over one point we were discussing whether it has new young fellow hamstring. Thankfully it was neither he just took a bump on his leg from Slough in the ball and. Think it was good to see him run about on the field Roger Federer got bits of. His Wimbledon final defeat tonight back joke of it she beats him at the finals in London last night so Djokovic she's out while Federer is through to the last full just happy at the level I could play today and obvious is always special beating and beating Novak even more so what happened but I didn't feel like I have to get rid of the ghosts or anything like that. I moved on pretty quickly so it also means Rafa Nadal will end the year is world number one in tennis he still needs to be since the past later to stay in with a chance of making the semi's if Alex very wins to not medal will be out regardless Great Britain got 2 more golds in the evening session at the World Power Athletics Championships in Dubai Maria Lyle won the t 35200 meters Sabrina fortune won the f 20 shot put and surprised herself I thought I was perfect. But it was what I did when I went outside my country action hash what it was good. And shocking scenes in the n.f.l. Last night the Cleveland Browns Myles Garrett assaulted a rival fail with his own helmet ripped the helmet off Pittsburgh quarterback Meissen Rudolf and then hit him over the head. This is b.b.c. Radio 5 Live on digital b.b.c. Sound this small speaker. Well we've actually got the n.f.l. Chief medical officer Dr Alan Sewell's with us this morning we're going to be talking about concussion with such a hot topic my We're going to talk a profit detail about a good morning to you what you think of that Chris just finished the bullets in with. It is obviously I haven't seen or remission about that yet but it's something that you are pursuing I can show you a video. Ok. We'll come to Alan in just a 2nd let's get a look at the weather forecast because Lucy Martin is with us this morning how's it looking today they say good morning today isn't a king a better than yesterday the founding. That all that heavy rainfall to areas already that have already seen some flooding is that 2 words the north so it's for parts of northern England around this morning. As we made through the morning it is going to clear towards the west and we see some bright spots developing with want to teach showers possible while the Southwestern mineral say season brightness through sea day some sunny spells and I would say want to see showers central southern and eastern England harvesting a county a day was patchy rain or drizzle and into the 2nd half of the day central south and southeast and then on into the East Midlands an area of rain that was sent from the southeast Scotland and all that I. Want to see showers could be when Traver high ground it is a breezy day to moderate to fresh north northeast the wind really taking the edge of the temperatures but your around 5 to 8 degrees Celsius in the north 7 to 10 degrees Celsius in the south you see Martin 5 this is b.b.c. Radio 5 Live on the b.b.c. Sounds like Dr Brad 1st good morning it's 737 have you on this Friday morning you with 5 lives Rachel Burton and Chris will but with you we've got John McDonald the shadow chancellor joining us at around about 10 minutes time also to talk about Labor's broadband plans which we've been telling you about this morning already have a view from the Liberal Democrats on and around about 20 past 8 talking about some of their plans their funding plans for the general election including a 100000000000 pound spending on the environment over 5 years and then we're going to be joined by the prime minister Boris Johnson non-accrual to answer your questions for an hour your cool so 5 o 5 if you'd like to contribute to that now if you play sport regularly or perhaps a parent or relative of someone who does how concerned are you about some of the risks involved with talking particularly about the issue of concussion in sports like rugby football American football as well there are links now to dementia in later life continuing to make head. But what is being done in various sports to mitigate those risks we can speak as we mentioned before the n.f.l. Chief medical officer the top man Dr Allan sells good to have you with us this morning Allan thank you for being with us how common is concussion in n.f.l. Mean can you can you break it down how how many cases would you genuinely expect to season. Yeah our numbers in the past few seasons have averaged somewhere between 175 and 200 concussions per season in our game so we track seasons throughout the games as well as our practice sessions and training sessions throughout the course of the year and in some cases this can have serious impacts on those players who have stopped playing the game come to it well certainly it's obviously one of those issues that we're concerned about with our players as we are with all health and safety issues is not just concussions we are interested in the well being of our players had to toe How do you assess the n.f.l. Is handling of the issue the years because you can just look back at the history and it's not always a pretty wanted tons it's been pretty controversial in respect of how the n.f.l. Have handled the over the decades and for quite a while it was alleged there was a real culture of denial do you accept that and do you accept that you've now moved on as an organization a perspective that you know Chris I can't speak to the past because of all this is my 3rd season with the n.f.l. What I can tell you is since I've been present with the n.f.l. There's been a very strong commitment around player health and safety really we consider health and safety our top priority and so the directive from the head of the organization through all of our officials and our game staff our coaches and our players has been to try to be on the right side of this meaning that we want to do all we can to make the game safer which includes concussions and head injury so I think we're looking forward we've put a strategy together to try to aggressively reduce concussions which we were able to do last season and so it's a long term commitment they were on it's not a short term project but I see this point in that direction and not turning back but just to be clear as a sport Now you acknowledge without question now to link between concussion and long health problems with some of those who have suffered from it I think it's very clear that their platform or players who are of have suffered from long term neurological conditions and you know we've been on the record as the n.f.l. Publicly stating that we believe there's a link and that we are going to do all we can to try to reduce head contact to avoid that outcome for. And future players are you familiar with the story of t.j. Abraham the reports in The New York Times a couple of weeks ago no I'm not say he was a college ball player Duquesne University and he's had to retire from a career in law say he never made it as a pro but in his he's had to retire because of the onset dementia and he said that he probably got his bell rung 70 times playing college bowl sometimes putup So what you get up to get back in I just wonder what kind of guidance or advice the n.f.l. Provides to the. The Dyleski levels of football in the USA because obviously people are working hard to try and make it to the promised land of the n.f.l. And ultimately like t.j. Abraham never get Sure well I do think there's been a tremendous cultural change within the last 5 to 10 years at all levels of the sport in addition to my work with the n.f.l. I still consult with a number of college and even used teams and I've seen a big change in how injuries are diagnosed recognized and treated so I think that we're in a very different place now than we were 5 or 10 years ago with that being said to your question we very much try to share the knowledge and the data and the changes that we're making with our game with not only all levels of football but all sports because we think that many of these issues that we see in the n.f.l. And n.f.l. Players are very common to other sports whether they're ice hockey or field hockey or lacrosse everyone's dealing with similar injuries and so whatever we can learn and however we can make the game safer for athletes that is certainly something we want to do in fairness to t.j. Abraham is in his faults he said this was this would have all happened going a good 20 odd years ago right and one of the changes we see there too is players being more willing to self report now I think again back in days past players were afraid to speak up and report this injury and it was maybe minimized because it's an injury you can't see right when someone twists an ear sprains an ankle it's much more obvious for concussion it's a hidden injury it's not something that you notice and so it's important culturally to make sure the players speak up about it there's an awful lot of debates about children and how. Susceptible brains might be at that young age there's a proposal to stop tackling in youth American football isn't there for under twelve's What do you make of that idea you know I think that obviously it's an area of active study and debate but but to me it's not just about whether you tackle or not but it's about do you have the proper equipment and are you instructed to play the game in the proper way because I don't think there's a magic age above which now you can play with any style or any technique that you want I think again whether you're playing football or other sports we want to take the head out of the game because no one needs to study whether or not repeated head contact is good for the brain we've known that for a very long time well that's interesting because I mean you're going to be talking a conference on the Old Trafford discussing concussion and all sorts of different sports and actually the idea of having a ball for children in this country for what we would call football. The Scottish Football Association considering a ban on children under 12 heading the bowl I mean does that make sense to you I mean such an integral part of the game and football of course Sure well obviously I'm not an expert on your football but I can tell you that for In America many of the what you would call football players that I see wind up being injured from hitting each other from head to head contact as they go to play a ball and so I think again it's not just about the act of having the ball but it's about contact between players and as well players hitting the ground they can be injured in a variety of ways. You mentioned the phrase you want to take the head out of the game I just showed you that video briefly before the interview of miles Garrett place for the Cleveland Browns who not only physically attacked a fellow player a rival player he actually ripped his helmet off and used as a weapon to hit that player in the head would you support the n.f.l. In pushing for the long one of the longest bans in the lakes history I'm quite certain that our league officials will deal with that in a very aggressive and thorough manner that action have actually has no place not only the game of American football but in any sort of a show someone proposing that they should get rid of the helmets will together their respective concussion they will actually be. More of a hindrance fracturing the skull but in respect of concussion they don't do an awful lot Well that's right helmets were actually 1st developed because of the risk of skull fractures and because there were a lot of skull fractures and players before the current plastic helmets were used but we always say that we don't think we'll ever develop a concussion proof helmet Chris it's it's there to protect you from certain types of collisions but it's very much like your automobile you can put the best safety equipment around your automobile but if you drive it in a reckless manner you can still be injured so it's not just about the equipment but it's also how you use it how you play the game and the techniques that you use Nice to speak to thanks very much indeed for coming in we appreciate it that's the n.f.l. Chief medical officer Dr Allan souls' your thoughts on the issue of concussion particular around children head in the bow maybe you know parallels obviously with American football and rugby for children in terms of the impacts on the body and suchlike as well 5 o 5 if you want to get in can so I said it so often on this program a mom edges to go to the park and we were kids who kicked the ball as high as we could yes and then we would head it as far as we could and I'm a bit worried about the future generally you know yeah well it's not I'm sure it's all compassionately about as well in way that you know the amount of impact on his head over so many years as well and his fears for what that was made in the future as well Ok it's a quarter to 8 right now you just think 5 life to say a Texas Sheen at the moment and social media as well absolutely dominated by your questions for the prime minister Boris Johnson will be here from 9 o'clock this morning for you'll call part of a series of leaders debates will be doing Hang on 5 Live join up with the b.b.c. News channel as well thank you so much for a lot of questions there is seems coming 3 Breck cities one the Russian reporter is another family life isn't all the getting on says telling the truth is another Let's speak to Greg in Coventry Good morning Greg. Good morning for instance I'm with him what would you say to him. Or what are skills for my uncle Calcutta or the Dodgers according to color blue impact country really I would go with like a life wildlife how wild life would be affected. To. Tell us a bit about you then on your life what's going on at the moment. Well I guess I guess I work a job. You know and by. You know I'm a woman whose political benefit from huge fun and who's who's going to cause the country my interest on the n.h.s. With. Me. But I will walk by general election is that he comes into power. To change he didn't understood thank you very much indeed nothing seems to change them out of who is in power that's what Greg saying this morning that speak to dive and obviously Good morning. Good morning how Dobson looking today I hope a little bit drier than it has been well we were just full of writing yesterday but it's not writing this morning so we approach our mood at this moment in a lot of relief writes I'm sorry still just imagine not for a moment what do you want to say well over 32 years to German cities in 26 the legislation was brought to you which was supposed to address the grossly unfair business practices practices practiced are tied pub tenants. Legislation has failed disastrously primarily because it was caused to actually make the situation worse because of the reaction from the large property businesses we've managed to what I say where you can find us bought myself who have been fighting very hard for the introduction of I just by ship I've had no traction with governments because government has been paralyzed over breakfast my question would be what are you going to do to make the legislation work because the industry type tenants are suffering. And probably there are going campaigning after 12 years on this issue and I would cite all represent tenants all over the country a lot of myself the situation is worse now than at any stage I know that. Stops after 3 years of. Legislation So why did the media die because it was but that was supposed to be reducing alcohol consumption for the benefit of all health and I understand the kind of cultural significance significance of pubs but they are going to have to change and adopt with the times so why is this particular legislation so problematic Why will the ability to protect the exploitation of terrorists Ok so this is not necessarily a barracks you know the serving of alcohol which has been proven to be much nicer to be served in a regulated group and organized area like the arm of the of trade of a pope which obviously also contributes to hundreds very distinct community local train tickets especially with a small regret that this legislation was supposed to stop the exploitation of Thai tenants that was the key thing so it's hard to be persuaded to take our businesses the pubs Ok in communities all of the country and those individuals of being exploited by property companies effectively who happens to own property the self that's what the legislation was supposed to stop one of the prime principles was to stock unfair business practices so one of the principles is fair and lawful really . Doesn't exist in the industry should be something with just kind of free market background that he should be here beyond say thank you very much indeed that's Dave Indaba show that speak to Mitch and bore him with now highlight. Good morning your message the Prime Minister your question for him well I was originally a tax it's a are based on the fact that he can't get there with. A candle such as factually result you know that Alan Alda looks like Scott that will be lost from the enemy and the point I'm making against We filed for Missis with 5 children this is a local to be delivered and I want to understand why I love identity. Too far on the tail of. His stereo is good enough to let the people fall to lead to not a 2nd. So far.

Your questions a prime minister here from 9 o'clock this morning for your call it's 10 to 8 this is b.b.c. Radio 5 Live on digital b.b.c. Silence small street the more restricted to the shadow sort of John McDonald in just a jiffy but here it is all over the truck when you say the m 25 now until a few minutes ago they were holding the traffic across the top between and failed junction 25 to junction $24.00 so all lanes are open again now and to be heading towards the dolphin tunnel on the m $25.00 anticlockwise there was an incident which again is over so from Junction 2 they start from Junction to the darn thing to change the one to Swans Km and then through the tunnels themselves the m 62 in Manchester on the eastbound side that's the missing manhole cover So between 1000 as sinister island and 19 at a with the still one thing closed for the emergency repairs traffics coping fairly well with it being a Friday morning in one direction eastbound the end 56000 Cheshire on the eastbound side of junction 7 for Bowden that was an accident all lanes have just reopened though so those queues are starting to ease and the end $56.00 on the spawns out at Junction 10 to Stratton has been an act of one of the lanes is still closed there and one in West Yorkshire northbound $39.00 at Wakefield an accident on the entry slip heading on to the motorway on the m 6 heading south 3 that's the m $42.00 that now holding the traffic's of Bedell is building a queuing for about 5 miles backing up from 3 a and the m $42.00 the m 6 southbound That's after an accident and a lorry is still at the scene some punk use on the m 6 father of his wealth from the oral interchange down to Brenda junction $25.00 which is clear the m 5 in was the ship we've locked at 6 it was on the southbound side by an accident and $25.00 again and this is the remaining part so it's cluck.

The story b.b.c. Sounds out the music radio podcast for instance and hear from 9 to answer your questions 8558 for those your questions at b.b.c. Don't go to an email hashtag b.b.c. Your question labor for their part this morning promising free fiber broadband for every home and business in the u.k. By 2030 if it wins the general election a speak to the shadow Charles the John McDonnell Good morning to you more in how you pay for this straightforwardly the cost was put at the installation cost as put it $20000000000.00 the government to put $5000000000.00 up already unfortunately $5000000000.00 is for a lesser product it won't give us full Fabo broadband so therefore we'll invest $20000000000.00 over all initial capital cost will be borrowed it will be in the normal way of issuing bonds for shares to take over the bt Openreach to enable us to drop out and provide it right there trust the country but this is something that's happening right very close the world and we're forming behind if we don't do this Korea Japan and they're connected up to the 97 percent of their countries Korea did exactly as we're planning here set up by a government agency a government company and rolled it out over a 10 year program now if we don't do this now we will fall behind the nice to have is how we pay for it as a sort of general rumbling of fear from so. Alison is when we were talking about this earlier about the amounts of borrowing you're talking about this selection but I need to ask you about the specifics you talked about attacks on Apple Amazon Google these big multinational tech firms what kind of attacks would you impose on the me talking profits or sales what we're looking at is it's called unitary tax you look at their overall sales within this country you also look at the operation it will in this country as well the scale of its operation you then look at what percentage of that is in its overall sales and profits and you tax the profits and on that basis you get a much fairer assessment of what the company should be paying in this country the fear of course is that if this happens they would just move it operate from elsewhere Well that's why it's very it's looking at the global operations but remember this is their market this is a big market so you're talking about the sales in this country largely And on that basis they won't move elsewhere they'll have to pay what they actually sell you hope and therefore well. They will still sell want to sell in this country and on that basis we simply tax the profits on the basis of a proper proportion allocation of what is based upon sales and what are you what do you where they make their profits really expect them to pay their fair share and what are you hoping that would bring in collect Luckily the examples that I've been given show Father details research as this is from anything between $6000000000.14 I'm putting it much below rest about 5 points why the range isn't it is that's why I'm supporting at the very lowest estimate to be realistic I'm pragmatic at that and if you don't quite get that who pays for it instead Well the reality is we will and I was that's why I put it at the very lowest end if you don't put it with the taxpayer Well no it will be the very lowest estimate I've put there is pragmatic it's a grill and that will come in there's future the future of other companies the put the providers who already do a job in this country people are Virgin Media Plusnet and such like this is a tax from James in South boy says he. Please ask Labor about this pledge Firstly what will happen to private infrastructure networks like the one built by Virgin Media and their small investors like May secondly what happens to the 10s of thousands of people like me who make their livings in the sales marketing functions of these private broadband companies to says it feels like my job and pension are under threat no knowledge will look at the moment all we've got so far is about 10 to 12 percent wired up we need 100 percent so therefore obviously we'll have a relationship with the existing companies a relationship in terms of access an operation and integration they will continue on or they'll be able to come into the much interest rates where they you know how on earth can they could be if you're going to be offering the service for nothing and then all well they're operating their existing system will integrate and how treaty arrangements with them to enable that to happen when you just take them over well they may well wish to come into the our system itself and that would be partner negotiations shareholders what about them in all these companies there are literally millions of investors in some of these companies via pension schemes of course how can you guarantee that those people will not lose out well with regard to the beaches what will be doing is bringing it into public ownership by Openreach and the technology arms of beachy and retail arms as well and what they'll get their shareholders will get in return for their shares they will get government bonds so therefore a steady income is exactly what the pension schemes are looking at and who will set the value of the shares Well it will be the parliament will set the value of the purchase in the normal way in any nationalization of the government bonds there will be issues and that's the most stable investment that people can get you make it sound very plain sailing and that was how it can be a very complex process that concept because it can lead to court action when shareholders don't believe the set price is fair then the share value can then suffer as a result it's it's more complex than you're making out and there's more risk involved for shareholders than you're making out as well as in the well that's why we've taken legal advice and professional advice all through. The development of this policy and on that basis we're confident that we can provide 1st of all security for shareholders where they are kept those government bonds security for particular pension funds as well who look actually look for long term security a steady income tradition to that will be able to provide I believe a broadband service that it's not that we can't do it we've got to do it if we're going to compete in the world economy and that will increase our productivity latest estimate by 15 our national has ation where does it end a couple of takes as was next on free ice creams on Fridays when you socialists know not to meddle in business you've got this incredible appetite wireless water energy What's makes you so sure that there's the same appetite across the country for all of this Well what's interesting as well is that when we've gone out there and talk to people an opinion poll out or opinion poll said look on the rail privatisation hasn't been successful No it hasn't shouldn't be brought back into public ownership overwhelming support for same with border which privatization has been an absolute disgrace Royal Mail the same on this one it's interesting you know the private sector unfortunately hasn't worked and when you look around what's happening elsewhere in the world it is the state that's intervene to make sure the proper investment goes in and you get 4 rolled out look at Korea look at you can't look at stocks where they're playing chamber thank you very much indeed John McDonald the shadow chancellor your thoughts on the 5587 used and lovely play nearly anyone in this b.b.c.
