Radio lots of the dire straits bassist John Elsley will be here a little bit later on and we are also looking after your health and fitness with workout Wednesday a little bit later on but prepare for an incredible story right now that when you hear the word Syria what do you think I would be surprised if the 1st images that come to mind of that of the war torn country that we see in the news but behind the destruction that we see so much of are real human stories that are difficult for us to imagine here in England but now we don't have to because filmmakers. Patty and Edward Watts have brought reality to our cinema screens in the form of for Sam or for summer is a documentary films by Wired herself sharing the female experience of war and perspective that we never ever get to hear about his just a small taste of the news of the war atmosphere and experience of. This new documentary. Hell of my dainty. Sums are working. Hard to shield them from him on an allusion to. The had a mic on but your father can. You 1st of all your head. And filmmakers Wilden Edward Watts join me right now a good morning to the both of you good morning good morning what can you just explain for us what was happening in that particular clip. It was one of the peaceful demonstration in and the point of our city when where there was like thousands of people whole protesting against Assad regime and the end of the protest you can see the army was coming to the university beating the student in the street. Congratulations on this film by the why this is as I mentioned actually a to see this from a female perspective is a perspective that I don't think I've ever really seen it from before and I think that. It must feel good for you for people to see this documentary because people don't need to assume anymore what it's like what it was like. Yeah I have tried really hard and I'm so glad that you hear that from you but it's really the true experience of if you made a perspective off a war like the perspective of a mother or as a female filmmaker Oh I would just try to bring the war to Britain and all over the world well it's the truth isn't it as well and actually just watching the trailer as I have on a couple of occasions I've still got a lump in my throat just seeing those images and seeing. Seeing the face of your daughter as well. Thank you like just gives me a lot of hope that people just really cared about Syria and about what's happening and just the fact that people in as they were watching the film they need to know that this is still happening and just to think about Syria back to the conversation with now everything still happening but you can't really see that in the news the city and people felt in many places that they were so abandoned and just like now could be a chance to be put on their stand that and see beyond what they can see just in the news absolutely I think that you know so many people have forgotten that actually these these people are human beings and this just put it just refocuses our attention actually on Syria but this must have felt like a privilege to be part of telling this story. Truly was you know it was a privilege and an honor to have the opportunity to work with Wired I mean what I think you've you've touched on as well is archived when she 1st sat with me and started showing me just a small fraction of the 500 hours that she'd filmed over 5 years within that 1st hour I remember thinking this is the most incredible archive of documentary film I have ever seen because because it was told through her eyes through a woman's eyes and she'd captured just the full spectrum of human existence in these kind of conflict zones not just the horror in the suffering but also the joy and the acts of human kindness and love that exist in these dark times and I think that's what makes the film so special as well that it's full of hope you know what I don't have is all this darkness Absolutely and that actually human life continues and new life of course continues you know just Despite the air strikes and you know all these these these sounds and images around being a mother. Yeah indeed I mean I think this is why it's so it's like relevant for all of us you know with the world in the state it is at the moment because this film and these guys amazing story really reminds us of are the good parts of being a human being and how you know our heart our courage and humanity can actually stand against you know some of those horrors that you've described and in a way Chiva kind of victory over them you know even though Aleppo itself fell. Wise How did you meet Edward. 2016 I was working for Channel 4 news from inside any people I was sending them some materials do use it in their daily real gram and then when I left I came to well and 1st time to meet them and show them some of the other material that I have because we've worked together for one year when I was inside the new people but we've never had the chance to speak more about what I was doing so when we met we start speaking I show them some of this material and we start to speak about civility of have like something bigger than just smaller stories and then the time they introduce me to Ed hoping that we can do something together make something really big I mean it's funny stuff the emotions but also humor there's laughter within this I mean despite all the adversity and it this the laughter the humor is still very much captured Yeah you know I mean that's the thing though I think that people don't necessarily realize is that I've I've made a lot of documentaries in conflict zones and there is human always you know because people actually tell jokes in order to get themselves through these tough experience you know it's the same kind of thing as the Blitz spirit and I think that's what people will see in this film that's again what we had managed to capture was the humor I mean you know it's not something you normally associate with Syria Syrians tell good jokes and as I always say to my demand they get a very British sense of humor when they get so angry they get very cross like a British sense of humor. Yeah and that in itself is a very British joke as well I was told. So yeah I mean that's again why we really hope that people will get a chance you know we'll watch the film it's on channel 4 this Saturday at 9 o'clock and you know it's got jokes and it's not bleak and dark you know or not exclusively so what I think it might even surprise people. When very it's very very difficult to put yourself in the position that you were in in terms of that decision that very very difficult decision that you had to make it impossible to sit in whether or not to to flee Aleppo of course the city where everything that you knew was and of course that decision was to protect your daughter's life and then you had this conflict inside of you that meant abandoning the struggle for freedom for which you sacrificed so much I mean some people would look at think well of course there's no decision to be had you flee the city to protect your daughter you know as a mother as a parent that's exactly what anybody would do but I think that. Because of this sort of conflict with the other side of this decision making up I think I think you are rather incredible and I think this is something just happened because what we went to school before and I just believe that anyone can be in my place they will do the same Exactly and even people who say like a wall how you done this I'm sure that if they were in that position they would do exactly the same the fact that we went in just like me hams and some like there was sorry 100000 people in this issue in early April so all of these people or most of them they have a chance to go out but no one really left there's many people who fled before but there's also a lot of people who stayed and this is just one of the feeling that this is our country and this is the place where do we need to be this is our home and I think many people who couldn't really Eliza's if they'd think now about what if something now had happened here and the place where you were born and where you spend the whole of your life and the place where you even planned to the future and suddenly you were forced to flee this place not you know not do with us so what's it what's it like then. Getting to the coming to the u.k. And really not having an identity because you you left that life behind you are right in the u.k. With your daughter but pretty much nothing else you know actually we live now here just trying to add up to this in your life but for us like any Polish stay like our home and we wish to be back one day and we actually more than that just like we're still living for the day when we will be back but for this situation now it's just so difficult I have the film now and I'm really so glad that it's been very very well received around the world and people now understand this story more than just this is give me just. To keep fighting for what we believe in. Because I think that the fact that you know that the world is going to see this I mean would you mention that it's it's on Channel 4 at the end of this week and of course that's absolutely right but it's also been in cinemas right across scene of this country it's been across France and the u.s. As well and you know it's about you know the truth it's it's also ice I suppose you know a lot of people think that people fleeing Syria Well you know they are there yes they're in search of a better and safer life. But I think that some people. I have struggled to understand that actually fleeing your country is not something not a decision that does come lightly because you're leaving everything you know and you live in a country that you laugh Yeah I mean I we really feel that this film is like an empathy machine to help put people into the horrendous decisions that refugees face you know what do you do when you're in your home is where it says Aleppo will always be home but you're being faced with the kind of violence at the hands of your government that threatens the life of the most precious person to you in the world you know your young child and I mean just even today like before we came home we saw that these 39 bodies of refugees have been found in a truck in Essex just today you know and I think when people see this film they will understand you know no one wants to flee their home they do it because they're forced to and all of us in the situation you know can relate to that horrendous decision and maybe we should just have a bit more empathy for people who've been put in such a terrible situation absolutely where you know that must that story that we just mentioned you know must've. Been incredibly upsetting to you because you know how it feels to have some hope you know how it feels to start that journey to a better life to safety and of course those 39 people did not make it you know like I'm 3 dollars that whatever I have feeling now I was so lucky in many layers in my life why others really can't and just like I don't know really how long this is will be continuing there are Lord still watching what's happening and no one and not any of these governments is really wanted to do something Going to you will solve that situation what has your daughter doing. She is doing very well now and I'm just trying to focus more about how we can build weight what I had both of them like To the best lives that we can do but still like there was very clear effect of what was happening in some period of the time was some especially And we've just need time to treat this things. What would you hope come out of this film I mean as I mentioned it's been seen in various different parts of the world and it's on Channel 4 at the end of this week what are your hopes for this film. We have a lot of hope so actually I think at the most basic level we hope that you know people who are listening to this now will watch the film and that it will really help them to understand what Syria was about you know I think in this country a lot of people are very confused about the story of Syria and it seems there is no one good everyone's bad there was no moral justice within that conflict but this film as you mention it shows the truth and what the essence of the fear of that situation was which was people just like us who are pretty peacefully protesting for their basic rights that we take for granted and being met with her endless violence and and I think you know the more that people can connect with that humanity that we share it we do hope that it will lead to as we had said greater attention on Syria and just a different approach you know even on the part of the government just saying like this is not it's not like we can sit in Britain and say oh we're Ok And isn't it terrible those people are suffering thousands of miles away but you know we'll just carry on and it doesn't really have anything any impact on us it does you know I mean the turmoil in this country over the BRICs process like To what extent does that was that affected by the rise of ISIS and the refugee crisis 2 things that directly come out of the Syrian conflict and and essentially are in action to stand with people like Why didn't Hamza when they were facing this violence and so I guess you know I'm talking a lot but the thing that makes that makes people feel ashamed actually and that dehumanization of refugees as well with that the language some of the language around the refugees and you know the terms that we use like swarms of of these you know that completely dehumanize them and credibly upsetting but what this film does is puts us back to human beings connecting with other human beings plight. Exactly you know and I think shame is the appropriate emotion and guilt as well you know that essentially we knew these things were happening we knew these horrors had been perpetrated and we did nothing and I think you know I mean not getting on my high horse or anything but this film what we need right now in the world is to remind ourselves of the fact all of our connections you know with people even if they don't speak our language or they don't speak our religion you know these conflicts and situations are all fundamentally connected in the world today and we need to start using that as our basis for action rather than as you talk about some sort of dehumanization or division. Thank you both so much for being on the show it's been a it's a remarkable film and I urge anybody of course to make sure they see that on Channel 4 at the end of this week Edward and Webb thank you so much for being on the show you got sort of plans to make other films sort of in the future together. Actually all the time no secrets but that's the kind of. Time know more about just focusing on this because it's just like doing very well every place so well it would be a shame it would be a shame if you didn't make other films together into the future exit. As the next subject we're going to turn the lens to. Thank you very much indeed Edward and that sank in summer thank you so much b.b.c.

Radio Works and listen again to some sound. Now with an intra instantly recognizable and my next guest is responsible for the bass line behind that in track he needs no more introduction than that really dire straits bass player John Il's late Welcome good morning John good morning you still love playing that baseline you still laugh Sultans of Swing Yeah played it last night actually did it go well it did go well it was a it was a charity thing at a club in London for the Macmillan. Hospital so the night was good I mean it's funny it's. It is really sort of it just stand out doesn't it hurt it I never really think about it myself but just you just do it I mean is that a base I can't be tampered with that Kenny because that is the baseline the kind of define the song because I suppose sometimes when musicians play live the kind of change things up a little bit and keep it fresh but that needs no tampering with you know you've got to there's a certain simplicity about it which just came very naturally when we started to play the song when we were because the original version of songs was very different to nobody. I can remember what it was of course but then then suddenly this version Mark picked up the Strat one day and I just started playing along with him and it was like That's it got it right there is that there's the stories that I love about you know how these these songs that are classic songs have been for many of us you know the soundtracks to our knives in our childhoods except for but actually have a kind of evolve so organically I just think is fantastic I mean you you were very pivotal in developing the sound of dire straits when you were doing that and you're doing it with other people is that always got to be a compromise. Well I think that you know I've been playing these songs now with different musicians for quite a few years and. Essentially I don't want them to play exactly what we did I obviously do because I am the engine room so that's got to be right but I don't want to get our players to follow every month you know the because it's not a tribute band basically what we do is we get the essence out of those songs which I kind of understand so I know how that should be so that for me is very easy thing to do and all the guys and the girls will come along they fall in with that and it works very well and so we give it as we keep the songs pretty much the way they are but with a certain kind of freshness and that's what we're doing on this q. And I think you know we're which we're doing in November there's a certain freshness about it because we're taking the songs back to basics again just sort of semi acoustic which is lovely What would you say I mean looking back on the crate what would you say is the best album you you've ever made. The last one. That well I say when people say what's the best show I've ever done I say the last one yeah no one is you know it's really difficult because each each one has its own magic in a way. And it's very difficult to pick it out of the obvious thing to say would be brothers not because it was most successful but in fact actually you know one of my favorites is making movies and because I thought that was the band's which went into a different kind of way of recording at that particular time where you know we pushed it out of it more we were no longer just a 4 piece doing simple songs like Dire Straits and communicate those 1st 2 albums we got into keyboards we got into the more sort of orchestration and what have you and then of course it was love of God that got a bit bigger so it's difficult to pick one single album out. You know I think it would be disingenuous to the rest of them that general I mean that all remarkable They're all brilliant what they are and they mean different things to us and I guess they mean different things to you because they're different periods and if you want to have. You've won multiple awards with dire straits of all the awards which won men the most. Oh gosh I don't know I don't really I don't I don't really think about things in terms of. Awards or rewards really I mean it's a. You know these are generally things that industry wants to have you recognized as being a part of that system. And it's lovely to get them Don't get me wrong I think it's a great pleasure I mean I think that Ivan Avello award you know contribution to British music was was important Mark and I got that I was very very touched to be included in that actually as I thought really that would probably he'd probably just get 0 is 0 but they they put me on the list as well and I was very humbled by that actually so I think there are probably if I haven't if I'm thinking about awards a top which as I say I don't really. You know that's probably the one that stands out to me about the shack life and times of dire straits who yes well we do dig a bit deeper you know we can get interesting. So I like. It's clean there we'll have to keep some people in the audience asked them quite awkward questions and they have to be dealt with quite difficult. But you know I mean you know it's basically just. Having a just revisiting those early days and because I don't really think about them very often and but when I do start to think about the my stuff my memory actually does come back rather remarkably and I think remember things that I've completely forgotten you know just playing in certain places things that happen circumstances meeting certain kinds of people you know and my manager Paul of course has got a much better memory than me he's constantly throwing you know these curve balls at me every night and so every night is different so it's a lot of fun and we sit down and play some acoustic music together to go along with the chat and it's great. Music always on us memories and by the sounds of things you know your own songs and asked memories maybe songs that you know you had sort of put into the vault perhaps a little deeper than other songs. So I guess you know it's kind of a privilege to get those songs out of the vault songs that perhaps you haven't played so freely you know like some of the others well yes I mean you're talking about sort of like taking these things back to basics because actually that's interesting when you when you do strip things down back to where they were originally rather than with all the big strings on the drums and all the rest of it because in goodness knows what else and trumpets and trombones and you just take it back to a couple of guitars in the bass and the bit of keyboards and. They sort of come alive again in a funny kind of way and you know it started playing things like lady writer from communiqué and. Set me up in the 1st album and things like that you know does revisiting those and it's it's it's really there's so many songs to choose from it's quite difficult sometimes to make a decision in that department. You know one of the torch on you've also found time to release an album coming up for air you know how was your. I want to do that from Target I don't know whether you got time to come up for quite frankly but how how was your music changed over time do you think. I don't think the music's changed fundamentally in the way I put it together but at this song writing has probably changed what I'm thinking about has changed because I think if you don't think about what you think about now well I this last album coming of rare I mean I was reflecting really on. The past and you know out Amsterdam for instance on the record is you know it's about the 1st time the band went and played in the parody so in in Amsterdam which I actually revisited on this last tour just did in Germany I went to ply after 40 years I want to play the parody So again it was great and so it's reflecting really back quite a lot on the past so it goes as is really about touring in America you know the 1st days of the band in the council flat so just she reliving certain things just to remind myself of you know what I got up to all those years and because you can't forget and you just think right now is the most important thing in a sense it is but you are what you are now because of what you did before did you enjoy every single moment of it because you know with level I suppose of Fame and and hard work you know that there can be can be challenges of course and everybody knows he wanted but he wants to pry into private life so there's the difficult parts of it I suppose Yeah well there was one moment actually when the news of the world turned over my doorstep at my house in the country and I didn't stay there very long. To get a shot going to have my no no no. I thought Ok now this is getting out of hand you know. There was a course of no mobile phones to be tapped in those days that you had to come and knock on your door. But never left quite swiftly but you know there's always going to be moments over over a period of many years when you know there are times when I mean on the on every street tour we did 3030 dates without a day off. And after halfway through nobody knew where they were we didn't know where we were and really what country we were in you know because even this is a bubble and each one was between 102-0000 people so you know when you got that kind of manners going on around you you just have to sort of hang on and you know just I think that's where Mark and I probably you know we're very strong we were very strong together and I think that fed into the rest of the band so it kept everybody almost sane but I would I would say there were moments when people dig a little bit. Well you know if. You like an old American for a t.v. Program you have no idea where I came from but it sounded good as it came out of my Sunday great you know I love it John it's been wonderful to have you on the show I thank you so much I'm loving coming out for I think it's just thank you a wonderful wonderful album and I've got my personal collection so John thank you it's been lovely to have you on it really has thank you scout thank you very much for your b.b.c. Radio walks that you'll explain say the travel now let's get the latest on Oxford says right Gary looking slow on the eastern bypass is cat Yeah the southbound side around by Cali looks like maybe if you're going on to the Haddington roundabout on It's 12 o'clock with the b.b.c.
