Raheem is from the National Center for Social Research we think there are a number of factors that might be at play what we deny that there's a significant minority of the population who do you see something wrong with things like premarital sex or same sex relationships and what we know about that proportion of the population is that often people who have very strong religious form part of that population they won't be the only ones but we deny people he house for orders and to be less comfortable with issues such as premarital sex or fame sex relationships while the survey also found bricks it now plays a much more significant role in people's sense of identity than traditional party allegiances 3 quarters of the public or 74 percent describe themselves as having a fiery strong or a strong right and stick a certain way leave or Whereas just over a bad people identify strongly with a political party that makes their firing squad we are finding that the leaving remain identities are forming in the I don't fault line figures from you cast show a record number of young people in England have applied for university this year more than $230000.00 teenagers are looking for a place that's 40 percent of the total number leaving school and $4000.00 more than in $28.00 C.

It in 2017 now with the sports he's on the ball out the morning is a big day for Morgan and the England cricket team they're looking for a place in Sunday's final of the World Cup at Lord's standing in his way Australia at its best and where England have an excellent record in recent times his correspondent Jonathan Agnew the players I've bumped into this week simply CAN'T WAIT FOR THE going to begin it's edge past and after all their stronghold and a ground where Australia haven't won a game of any type for 18 years it's true that winning the World Cup is more of a target for Morgan's men than finches simply because England haven't won it before their opening partnership of Bairstow and Roy has been by far the most successful and damaging of this World Cup but in stark they'll straight into the stand out bowler. The England skipper feels that the edge piston crowd today can be a big factor in the game I think that's part and parcel holds a little bit of home advantage a place apart here register there is a reason we do have a lot of success here that we can tends to suit us but also the supporters of what today's winners will take on New Zealand in the Lords final at the weekend they had an 18 run success over India who skipper be right Kohli was left heartbroken after his side's defeated Old Trafford always feels disappointed when you played such a good cricket and then you know 45 minutes of bad cricket but you out of the dormant so it's difficult to accept it's difficult to come to terms with but look New Zealand deserve it because they put enough pressure on us and they were they were far more sharp when it came to the game to the crunch moment the New Zealand asprin Ross Taylor explained what it felt to be like just one win away from his side lifting that World Cup trophy was a fantastic effort to make the final at home but it's something extra special about doing it away from home as well I think you know I think there's a lot of nerves in the last World Cup final we had played a New Zealand the whole time and then fine across Australia we're now pretty pretty comfortable with our bus and our bus driver we had to get him on and then we just have to you know drive down to London tomorrow and just relax and we don't have to jump on a flight and use our passports today at Wimbledon these women's singles semifinals stay to the place have never got this far before to Grand Slam events the Czech Republic Sperber strick over will face the 7 time we wouldn't singles champion Serena Williams and Ukraine's Elina especially in a place the former world number one Simona Halep looking ahead to these matches on Center Court correspondent Russell for Williams was under the cosh of 3 all in the final set of a quarter final whenever Allison risk the 3 consecutive games she reeled off and the form she showed in her mixed doubles partnership with Andy Murray have convinced many that despite little match practice this year she is once again the woman to beat it's a 1st Grand Slam semifinal for St. As well as specific Selena who faces last year's French Open champion Simona Halep the Romanian says she is learning to love the grass and has finally stopped trying to slide in the way she can on clay Roger Federer and roughen Adele will play each other for the 1st time in 11 years at Wimbledon after booking their places in tomorrow's men's singles semifinals the dull sore of Sam Querrey in straight sets and Federer was the winner in 4 sets advocate Nishikori federal turns 38 next month admits that a lot has changed since that 2008 final against Nadal we haven't played in each other a long long time on this surface serving way different remember back in a day how used to serve and how big or much bigger is serving and how much faster he finishes point impressive to see.

Contenders but 5 seconds down on his own teammate Eggen panel on this weekend's British for the one Grand Prix won't be the last at Silverstone a new deal has been reached to secure the venue for the next 5 years Thanks Sandy 12 minutes past 5 wake up to money on the way past some weather now though from Thomas Africa very good morning to you it's pretty muggy out there still and there has been for a couple of days now temperatures 1st thing this morning across some southern parts of the U.K. Maybe around 16 or 17 degrees so pretty warm start to the day there's also a lot of cloud around and we've had some rain overnight so it is quite damp in places as well sort of. Way if you like so the forecast then for Thursday itself again very very muggy for all of us across the country and there's also a chance of some thunderstorms developing a little bit some later on I think through the morning we're just talking about bits and pieces of rain here and there almost anywhere in the U.K. But coming afternoon we'll start to see some storms developing across I think particularly northern and eastern Scotland around the borders through Yorkshire say anywhere from around about Lincolnshire northwards especially eastern counties there is a possibility of some thunderstorms today elsewhere across the U.K. Should just about stay dry with partly cloudy skies a few sunny spells as well and it is going to be another warm day. Now yesterday we got up to $27.00 degrees in the south of the thing today probably around $25.00 or 6 I probably won't notice the difference and in the north closer to around 20 and the storms that do Peru today will probably rattle or rumble on rather into the evening hours and then Friday fewer showers around I think still a risk of a thunderstorm the good news is that if you want say dry weather at the weekend the stage isn't looking bad at all and it should be predominantly dry so the outlook for the weekend isn't bad at all I'm Tomasz Africa 5 life weather and a quick look at some front pages this morning where attention is turning to who gets to pick our new man in Washington after dark resigned over leaked e-mails Boris must choose is the Telegraph headline with allies of Boris Johnson saying he must be free to make an appointment if he becomes prime minister the Daily Mirror is less positive about Mr Johnson's role calling him the man with no shame who destroyed the diplomats career listening to 5 Live it's quarter past Fife Good morning Branson is in a pickle over the pound with no relish for no deal the pound will collapse to parity with the dollar if the heart breaks it. Because the money put seans bearings on the Making always worth their weight Richard warns that many Virgin Group companies would be devastated in a no deal situation and says Virgin Trains do still want to provide a service on the West Coast Main Line will hear more from that war draining into the very shortly also there are more women on boards of our biggest companies with a concerned business is a box ticking and doing the minimum expected of them lots of talk about stay with you and some reaction to those figures we got yesterday as well yeah I was the G.D.P. Numbers we talked about yes the mall in terms that be much better than expected very good news as it moved to currencies about a bit as well we'll get the latest on those and also this morning is one of. Most recognizable names in fashion design but wine Hemingway is also keen on improving access to housing around the country so we're going to be talking to him about how he wants to build better homes and communities so we'd like to hear from you this morning how would you refashion Britain's housing if you've got a few estates popping up somewhere nearby. Vicki the last few weeks talking about planning permission in the in the local area to him it seems that there's attempts to build right away around the country but how would you build what would you design these buildings as 85 o 5 A hash tag wake up to money if you'd like to get in touch when you look at this stuff what is it we should be building and how should they look and we've got plenty to talk about this morning we've got class your senior profiler manager at cs Asset Management morning she CLARE MARTIN We've got a long list of stories to get through this morning and we're going to go straight into a bit of breaking news because as the global trade war takes a new twist the American president Donald Trump has ordered an investigation into France's planned attacks on the big American tech giants Here's our North American tech correspondent David for now at least France is fairly isolated there had been talks of a Europe wide digital tax like this but there are fell through because of opposition from countries like Ireland that have some of these tech companies basing their European operations there France has pledged to go ahead alone implement this 3 percent tax on the revenues that tech companies make in France and the criteria for being part of this tax is that it's a tech company that owns more than $750000000.75 euros every year globally so the American complaint is that many of those companies that fit that criteria the majority of the companies that fit that criteria for us are American companies Google Apple Facebook firms like that and so that's why America . It's going to investigate what is happening to see whether or not as they say that American companies are in their eyes being unfairly targeted by this new tax and fronts. They go Mickey Donald Trump mixing it up again we've talked about a possible tax like that in the U.K. Nobody ever really mentioned the how the U.S. Might retaliate you know. The interesting thing is that these you know the tech giants are they are this is this is a you know a trough of girl waiting to be tapped but we're looking at it from a revenues point of view not from profits this is this is before you've stripped out all you cos we're going to tax the revenues that's a very strange route to be going down for a lot of us. And I can understand why the Americans a bit but because they all are all American companies and Claire what's the knock on effect when all of a sudden you see what could be a huge change like a tax on the big tech giants to the world that you guys invested and then America's I was going to minute we fought back on this. Like the U.S. Response which was they said they were going to consider raising targets on French wine or cars had no agreement say could be reached but as you see there the Section 301 which they're talking about unfair barriers to U.S. Export really does a fait U.S. Companies I think there's only one French company actually that would be captured by this so it is definitely a disproportionate impact on the U.S. Companies and yet I think what's interesting is looking at the dial and situation is as you said earlier of the island rejected this E.U. White taxes they're the most employed by in Europe given yellow of these companies are there because of the low corporation tax interested I makes you wonder what the chances would be if the U.K. Were were not in the European Union and the U.K. Wanted to implement a time to attract or attack either way which which way does it go that would be an interesting one now another one for us to follow on why Could someone East. A With this we will keep you posted one of the reasons we have Rico He's on in Singapore always poised to talk to us every morning morning hello gentlemen how are you I am very well thank you for a more interesting new to diary why why are you interested in me that way you live about somebody. My God yes. One person a billionaire from the U.K. Has just bought the a penthouse unit next to mine. You've got some spare milk for when they move in on sugar. My goodness we were really totally shocked when this unfolded overnight you have a surgeon Dyson buying what is thought to be Singapore's biggest and most expensive penthouse flat Sean and Mickey guess how much it costs go on. $54000000.00 US dollars so big mortgage that's not it's not a mortgage he had a pretty steady eyes she paid for it in cash you would home cash and this girl because he is I don't want stairs if I was trying to be very tough like stay is yeah. Well if that's 3 floors and 5 bedrooms and this Super Bowl this so-called super penthouse unit has its own swimming pool Jacuzzi room and bar facilities and a nice view. Of $180.00 degree view off Singapore. View it's beautiful I always spot I always pass this area when I take the bus home . To my apartment and while. Residence on the drive it's residents and the reason this is actually making all the U.K. Papers this morning as well the pictures of him and he looks like any penthouse apartment you might imagine would look like as the F.T. Says you know Dar since decision to move its headquarters to Singapore as well as build a factory there to produce its 1st electric vehicle was a blow to the U.K. Says if they spark fierce criticism from those that were more positive about the European Union who accused of hypocrisy he was always of course in favor of the U.K. Leaving the European Union but now he's gotten self a very nice Princess very nice penthouse but of course when he spoke to the media earlier this year he said the move by by the company was basically for commercial reasons and had nothing to do with bricks and according to the chief executive Jim roll when he said it makes the company future proof for where we see the biggest opportunities and of course the biggest opportunities are here in Asia I mean most of the products are designed in the U.K. But manufactured in Asia on making interested are they wouldn't it make you how much of the $54000000.00 is when it's wonder if the estate agent dropped the RICO he's on his name in. The no name drops no name. Knowing impact whatsoever and the real estate sector in Singapore which is of course one of the most expensive in the world. One little tip for you really care when you go around for the barbecue. Don't refer to these products. OK no I won't if I do I might never get invited again the other somebody did immediately once. Maybe habits continue to give you an update when officially Rick he's on thank you bring in a slightly I think. Singapore James Dyson buying the most expensive flights in Singapore talking of billionaires British billionaires as well should we talk about Richard Branson Sir Richard Branson has told the B.B.C. No Deal Breakers it would cost the Virgin Group hundreds of millions of dollars. To a collapse in power and he said leaving the E.U. Without a deal would mean the group spending a lot less money in Britain and just putting their energies into other countries not the 1st time he's warned about BRICS it he said in the past that breaks it is of great concern to all businesses and entrepreneurs he no longer lives in the U.K. British Virgin also of course has repeatedly warned about risks to businesses about the prospect of no deal he said it would be devastating for many companies in the Virgin Group let me just give you one example Virgin Atlantic Coraline. You know the pound was 153 when. When the referendum took place the pound today is at 122123. And the pound will collapse to parity with the dollar if there's a heart breaks it. All up costs are in dollars maintenance plane costs you know pretty pretty well every every cost is in dollars and therefore you know the bottom line hit of that was $100000000.00 a year say. Heartbreaks it will result in the freight that we get from Europe that we put on Virgin Atlantic going to America just disappearing we won't we won't get any of that freight that will be another $100000000.00 just down the drain. And I can carry on the list of enormous list when when you look at each person company. So that's some rich Bronson's concerns about the pound and of the things I sure miss with this is morning from management. When you look at the currencies it seems of all the predictions before the referendum when we had it the one that was most accurate most quickly was how currencies would move. Is there general thinking that the parent would head towards parity with the $1.01 for one if the U.K. Left with no deal yet certainly certainly interesting and those are poor I think it was yesterday by Goldman Sachs said the hedge funds actually increase their bets nearly actually double their bets from 1200000000 to 2000000000 that the Sterling will fall and you know the currency markets are the most reactive I'm so certainly as it says it's looking certainly looking like it is heading further south not sure parity but as you say it's certainly yet I think it is Tuesday Sterling fell to the lowest level I think is 2 years and that's the 2nd you for breaks that bars his comments than the deepening economic concerns really a Mickey Browns that you know of course if if this is going to hit is companies going to be coming out shouting about it and they you know the Virgin Group has a big impact at the brand wise in the U.K. You know I'm never quite sure about the structure of Virgin Group what the arms and runs I mean had a big stake in the west line. In this country of course which I believe is now lost so it's not going to be very happy about that but as to each other business is. Always seems to be a very complicated structure Virgin Atlantic for it is. Never quite sure if you know 100 percent or your other partners in there so you must be a bit peeved about about the British economy but you know once you've done the deal you've done it the uncertainty I'm sure will be short lived. The talk of gloom and doom is classic. American banks it's a game that's exactly what it is a well I mean great piece quite covers lots of different areas yeah back in the 1970 S. They founded it controls a few 100 companies in fields from transport travel media services as well and then the trains of course these you know I think. Ended up having half of that West Coast Main Line and they were stagecoach give or take a percentage and then they didn't get the new franchise Richard Branson saying at the time for a variety of reasons they did not want to take on the West Coast Main Line with one of the big ones being the pensions risk that came with it that's what the government wanted a company to take on as well he was also asked in this interview how he felt about losing the opportunity to bid for the franchise very disappointed for everybody who works the Virgin Trains. You know they've done extraordinary job. 22 years. You know from Virgin's point of view we've got you know thousands of challenges around the world that we'll get on and get on and doing a bit just you know it's sad that I think. A great company. May be coming to an end. I mean you know 11 thing I am working on is to see whether we can't come back with open access on to the West Coast Main Line now when we're not going to be able to offer the committable service but at least it will keep the Virgin Trains running. And you know we and you know we most likely will be able to offer up an hourly service and. And I think it's very more likely than not that we will actually come back with open access if we lose the franchise interesting so we may still see the occasional Virgin train on the West Coast Main Line Yeah I mean this is no one there to give out and one of the complaints that we all make about the trying to structure in this country is really the lack of competition for these companies because it's all done on a regional basis through franchises and it means their complete dominance of those routes thank you for all of us just on everything we talk about today many more topics to get through as well we've got Wayne Hemingway coming up live on the program to talk about how we should be designing our own building in the U.K. We've had Joe in Bradford get into it she says building modern versions of the old Victorian and Edwardian terraces that have their own small garden good density but with your own bit of space stop building shoe box flats that sold off plan to foreign investors thousands of flats currently being built in Bradford where people in families want to live in houses lack of outdoor space and many new developments bad for mental health and wellbeing that's now what's popping up in a year and what you would do if you had the planning permission and the money and the ability to build homes near you what kind of homes would there be lots of people would quite a lot faster these days where you. Small and if I was Mickey you got you got big plans no I haven't but every farmer is a property developer these days especially Randy you know he just put homes up in the field and have a nice to be hunky dory comment about where the jobs are they're going to pay the mortgages and that was something we spoke to Nigel Wilson the Chief Legal and General chief executive about a couple of weeks ago in terms of the infrastructure around as well you know good just building homes if there's no bus route or schools and all that kind of stuff that's no you thoughts as well Stephen says Well done to the French for taxing Google's revenue these firms say they have no profit and therefore by little tax shops need a level playing field or they will die he's been in touch on Twitter using the hash tag wake up to me you can do that too or you can send us a message at 5 o 5 on digital B.B.C.

Elbow shown in the pre-season friendly. The truth. Was. Next to the fridge was this week will be good because it was crazy as this reaction to a college age very good morning to you is nearly 534 it's wake up to money with Mickey clock I'm a show in front and it's Thursday morning the 11th of July thank you for get in touch on all topics that we're talking about today we are speaking to Wayne Hemingway of the famous fashion designer in the program but he is on to talk to us about he's role in designing the buildings the homes that we want built around the U.K. At some interesting thoughts to come from when Hemingway than we'd like your thoughts as well not just about Mickey back gardens from just texting Mickey same building to Arlington House developer art filmmaking about God and caravans. And prefabs to maximize revenue stream you've got your front of both of those things one 0 yeah yeah yeah I'll go with needed all well and good a badge of reserve as well somebody says there should be set up with that anyway we're going to be talking about the type of homes we want built a snow interesting one from Greg from Plymouth just come in we'll mention that in a moment but we're going to get on to another story now where it's about the number of women on boards generally something we have followed now for for many years lots of people are watching it much more closely footsie 100 boards in particular 100 biggest companies listed on the stock exchange while those firms should reach the target of 33 percent by next year there are concerns that some of the appointments being made are merely symbolic with women serving shorter terms than their male counterparts often in non-executive roles as well not exactly Makiya more sort of stand back see if the company's being alone not the real people like the remuneration committee are often non-music Dorothea and these are some of the findings in a new report from Crown field University's School of Management found just one in 10 women on boards are from black Asian or the Met minority ethnic background as well so lots to discuss here we've got Dorian actually going with us who is the director of the gender leadership and inclusion Center at the university morning to you Daryn good morning so I guess 1st up is there an improvement. Yes certainly there's an improvement we are thrilled that we are on target to you we are on track to meet the target of 33 percent gender diversity on boards by 2020 it's going up from 29 to 30 percent this year for the Footsie 124 to 27 percent for the 50 so the Fitzy to 50 still has a little way to go but we are we are pleased that we are on track good I mean if you're going to set a target and it looks like people are going to hit it is it difficult to then criticize businesses on the back of its. Criticize businesses for what for the make up of how they have gone about achieving the target because it's not just this report today we've seen particularly You mention their footy 250 and then you go 350 the smaller companies that are listed on our stock exchange and getting a bit of criticism for how they are going about maybe box checking to meet the they're not official quotas but they're targets that people are setting them we know from the research that the greater diversity there is on boards the better it is for organizations in terms of innovation in terms of bottom line performance so generally speaking have in a view on the numbers of women these of the men and focusing on that really quite mindfully targeting the diversity of boards is a good thing for businesses but what we're also saying this year is for arrests for to move beyond the numbers and focus on the experiences of the women on boards and the roles there are in so that gives us additional insight into the contribution that gender diversity will bring to boards and what we found correctly is that the woman appointments a pair to be shorter in terms of tenure and women don't seem to be put into positions of significant power such as the chair positions and we're surprised that there is because there is the we expect there to be a parallel pace where we have this as I said earlier on women seemed we seem to be approaching this target of 33 percent we're making good progress and this pipeline of women an E.T.S. Is often kind of used as a source of chair position certainly for men so the women are there the woman are being appointed we are saying that they should be appointed into more powerful world interest and so even some paper. Criticised the number of non-executive roles that being made up in in these reports that are by women and not executive roles but you're saying actually if if men had those number of non-executive roles it would still lead to being chair of companies and that's not happening with women Correct correct so there is a more significant issue with regards the executive positions and that's when we look into the business is that we say come on ways or type ways a pipeline where the senior women in these businesses why they not really get into the top sitting there in match at the positions of power but in addition to that when we look at take 2nd to think about in non-executive roles we also need to understand what positions of power the women are holding on these boards a director once said to me of a company that it was he's produced 3 Jussi to make sure that anyone that was appointed to the vote was the best person for that job whatever the cradle genda. But in the case of many women you have to be 100 percent committed to this job it's not like a $9.00 to $5.00 job. Is not going to hold some women back who choose to go and have a family well one of the things that we found really was that wireless we would expect that woman who have had more career breaks coming back into ports will be. Because they've had more career breaks we would expect women to be generally Olga we expect much more mature woman to be on boards we're finding that the women on average are younger than their male counterparts so that doesn't seem to hold it doesn't seem like the career breaks on a manifesting in an older age an older woman professionals are be needs as a talent pool for any deep position and when you speak to women who you know are good enough for these roles but you you can see from a distance that they're not being appointed What do. I say to you as being the reasons they're not getting the roles or or even getting the interviews for the roles that they feel they should we know 11 hand and we talk about the old boys' club we've been talking about that for years we know that still many things we know there are inherent stereotypes about what leadership roles look like about what the commitments required are and whether people and that different assumptions about different types of people being able to step into these roles and what we would say is to the gatekeepers who are involved in these decisions typically chairs typically executive search for is if you look for these women they are their crime filled has for the last 10 years developed a supplement to this report our women to watch list and this woman to watch this was really developed to essentially counter the argument that these women that you know we have tried we've looked around and they're not they're like No Here they are and they see where we are really thrilled because we have a special focus on 50 women leading across industry academia and the 3rd sector from a range of ethnic cultural and national backgrounds to again counter there are some that it that these women aren't there they are there they just need to be appointed and just finally before we end of this thought of the figure of one in 10 women on boards being from A B A M A background. How do you feel about that figure is that one need be satisfied with is it is no sort of official target like the 33 percent by 2020 correct there's no official target what we want is that the leading industries in the U.K. Really tap into the range of talent that is in the U.K. So anything that focuses on ensuring that we move beyond the numbers to really thinking that the best of the U.K.'s diverse talent. Who is access an executive in an executive position and is what I'm for good. Great to hear the passion behind that thank you very much for joining us this morning going out to well again there from the crime filled University School of Management director of Gender leadership and inclusion center there very interesting some interesting texts coming Mickie with somebody suggesting why don't we Cathy like she says What are we refurbish existing houses instead of building blocks is something we will put away in any way very shortly but you got to put some of those figures that yes they Mickey were quite a surprise when it came to the economy yeah we what we talked about G.D.P. In great depth yesterday and we were expecting weaker figures because of the for you to leave the E.U. March 31st which meant that inventors have been built up prior to that and now coming off question was from Zs Asset Management in Korea was there much concern but certainly surprised these numbers it showed a believe growth of no point 3 percent followed in the current of no point 4 percent in April yet is as you say make it a figure stronger than I think it was 0 point one percent was that was a forecast and it came in it is 0.3 So yeah it was obviously I'm better than expected but I think the headline figure play masked some interesting underlying data which was that the recovery in me was really Juta the upturn and car production you know if you remember the day on your factory shutdowns or move from August it really had returned to normal levels of car production you know boosted U.K. G.D.P. And me but the wider picture I would say is still fairly subdued I mean Services which is about 80 percent of the economy remained flat and me within that financial services which is about 7 percent of he cheated contract actually so the sectors not seen positive growth and since I think 27000 and it's this interesting as we've been talking about this morning. The weaker band on the back of a new deal bricks and everything else but there are certain European countries that would buy your hand off so these G.D.P. Numbers hit us well that's true I mean it depends it depends what you're basing off you know versus the U.S. Obviously which is which is growing as you know very very strong the D.P. Doesn't look quite so good but you have versus them some countries in Europe yes you see the U.K. Does does look a little bit better so I say it's all relative in terms of who you're benchmarking against and talking of better not to starve or not the S. And P. 500. Record high street there is this I think from Jerome Powell that we might now have a almost certainly a cut in interest rates in America before too long yeah you're right that the S. And P. M. Tech to both 30000 for the 1st time in its history I think actually die joins as well joined all time highs and this is after the Fed Chairman Powell as you see pretty much guaranteed July and that rate cut is that because no one wants one. How I mean to Donald Trump has certainly been openly pushing Shelvey say the central bank to cut rates which is obviously you know drawn some criticism about he's seeking to undermine the independence of off the Fed but yet Trump is as definitely been pushing for them and just a quick beat see him may cut its dividend. Before too long to fund its father Bill program across the country some months I should have been doing that a long time ago yeah this is an interesting news that you made the A.G.M. A yesterday saying that it's prepared to cut its dividend which is which is quite a big yield a big it's a big holder for all the income funds in the U.K. . To fund which could be about I think you said between 40600000000 to connect 15000000 homes for 5 or by the middle of next decade they said they're going to try and reduced. Capek some cost savings maybe increased borrowings but really the headline number was really this potential of reducing the dividend which is which is quite a big deal given it is a big holding in a lot of a U.K. Income products the big company quandary please the shareholders the cost is one of the. OK clear many thanks for that clear Sure there from Zs asset management. The news. This is B.B.C. . 47 with a few more headline Labor has dismissed concerns. Semitism allegations there are reports from the US that the Iranian military tried to stop a British oil tanker in the Gulf as Richard Branson says his company's will focus their investments in countries other than Britain if there's a. Travel there's problems on the M 25 in sorry between junctions 9 and 10 at the Weasley interchange crash involving a jackknife lorry and 2 cars means the roads closed both ways and queues are building up this is B.B.C. Radio 5 Live on the B.B.C. . Lots of interesting suggestions from people this morning Greg in Plymouth saying what about the student housing He said many times about Plymouth how to build much new build should an accommodation some of which is now empty the bubble is bursting should there not be an obligation for local authorities to take over these empty properties and use them for a much needed social housing we're talking now about how we go about building homes in the U.K. What kinds of home should we be building the design behind them we're joined by the designer Wayne Hemingway you might know him as fashion designer for a chain of stores Red or Dead he's become famous for his work as well with developers on housing around the country in places such as Gates said but Maidenhead joins us on the line now morning to you why morning the fame of the housing development stuff caught up with the fame of the fashion world just yet well it's sold right out that 20 years ago now so it seems like a lifetime ago and spent the last 20 years mainly doing urban regeneration and housing so yeah and this is what's more important than passion I mean just way way more important question how do the 2 we had a few people get into it so I'm still there. Still going strong from the eighty's but one person saying how does a fashion designer end up being in the world of designing buildings have. Never studied fashion we were into nightclubs and just fell into it I studied geography in town planning so basically went back to work. Back to your roots right so everything over the last couple of decades when you've seen the property market and the struggles to achieve what everybody seems to want to achieve what do you think when you look at it now is the challenge the biggest challenge obviously is affordability because we've got you know we've got now. A very different generation to my generation and now we've got 2 generations who have been worse off than their parents and and worse off and in one of the worst possible ways in being able to afford to live in a ditch in a decent home and you know what homes are about wellbeing more than anything else more than cars more than anything they're absolutely about about your wellbeing and if it negatively impacting on that we better do something about it and we've been trying so you know when I 1st went to university in 1979 that it was the same and studied and studied this very subject the same arguments not quite as strong as they are now and things obviously weren't as bad because you know obviously I was able to buy a home in London 422000 pounds and 983 or whatever. Maybe I think it was things have got worse. And we've been rehearsing the same old arguments every single government same old arguments and really now I think it needs something radical and we need to start looking at some of the things that they're looking at in in in Europe and one of them is for me is really working out if we could make a land price cap So what happens basically is what you want you'll shine is that you don't make any more in this country whereas in Europe there are vast open spaces that you can develop without causing too much hassle. In this country well there is that side of it I'm not quite said I But you're right so 1 point one percent of land in this country is given over to housing and that's less than golf courses now that puts it to me that puts it in perspective what's more important a golf course you know I'm sure to some of your listeners they'll think all golf courses are more important but they're not but the thing that I'm talking about is when a let's say a farmer has a land and it's worth $20000.00 pounds as a great cultural grazing land it can be worth less than that it rises in the southeast so within reach of London when that becomes. NET developer land for housing it rises to 2000000 pounds so that's that's you know that's 100 times 100 Chinese dangling the carrot in front of the farmers really yeah and any land owner and obviously they're going to they're going to take it and there are cases around London of an uplift of $250.00 times now you know that is immoral really and. In Europe now in quite a few places in Germany and in Holland they're restricting it to around about 20 in some places they're doing it at 10 so if you're still getting 2020 times the amount of what something's worth you know if you if you if you're selling something on e Bay for 2020 times more than you bought it you're going to be very very happy and so maybe it's the time to cut out one or 2 people making so much money because what it's a lead to is that 70 percent of the cost of all our new homes are given over to the land price and that means the squeeze on quality is enormous and that means that developers. You know they're they're cutting down on everything on space standards on quality of build and what it's also doing it means that since 2008 when the crash happened and we lost you know we lost so many of our S.M.B. Our small medium and to prise builders and those builders are often working in local areas where local local builders don't do stuff on their own doorstep I probably can't use the word that I would use but you probably know and know the understood. And so what we lost all of those small medium local local builders and now they can't come back in the market because the amount of money it takes to bid for land and the amount of borrowing you need to bid for this really expensive land is holding them back so it's left to all of the big boys who are making 20 percent return on capital employed which is a much larger return. But alas I mean. That in me would traditionally have taken around 12 percent so you get in double the profit by a small amount of developers because they've got no competition something radical has to happen and I can hear your enthusiasm for the idea as I word yet. To put it to put it mildly but in the idea of a cap on land prices in the U.K. Does it not feel pieing the sky to you in terms of it actually coming into play any time soon to sort the housing crisis out I don't think it is because because they're in the lead when report the Oliver Letwin reports so you know that's a conservative government and I think it was only in November you know he was talking about it and it's a pretty major report and it's and it's pretty fresh so I think it's that it would need absolute cross party agreement on this but I think there is cross party on agreement on well being I mean it because if you don't have cross party agreement if it's not bedded in law what you would get quite possibly is a 3 alarm market freeze where people were saying well I'm not going to let my market I'm not going to let my land come to market until a new government comes in and they're going to lift this cap so that is for me that's the real danger it would mean that actually as a nation we decided that when it comes to selling land for housing there was a limit to the amount of profit that the landowner could make and as I say that would have to be single party agreeing to it but I actually I actually think it's common sense we. There are certain things where the free market should not be allowed to impact and that and that is on our well being and there is nothing quite like coming home from work putting you know putting your slippers on and being in a place that you you know is either yours or that you can't be kicked out of and you can just turn. From the pressures of life that's what home is about a few people get in touch. Tracey says Kent is no longer the guardian of England due to housing being built hundreds and hundreds of them losing beautiful countryside population matters needs to be addressed golf course is more important to you to be in a safe home for wildlife How do you care and to those that are concerned that the beautiful areas they live in will no longer be as beautiful in the years to come I'm not talking about building housing. The greenest of green green there are plenty of areas on the edge of town and in Fellside that will satisfy our need 430-0000 homes a year and the thing is that. We hear this all the time generally from older people who are who are being a little bit selfish about thinking about young people and their needs we have a housing shortage but we don't we don't have to build on the grain is the grain and as I say we have $1.00 point only 1 point one percent of the contrary it is housing but we have as I as you shall judge one we've had it for years and. There is the best part of the 1000000 pounds in this country are not coupon I'd. Look at the percentage of those you know they're all occupied and it's not all about and they're not in greenfields there in towns where they are in a lot of their own private ownership remember so what do we get so that's a completely. Well yeah or not allowing people to leave that are not allowing to leave their homes and being punitive in terms of taxation for people who don't. You know a lot of people even the challenge becomes leaving them on occupied so the Eventually they could put your brand of machine to half a dozen homes built on that one so much because actually used to be a popular trend at the moment well if you look at. That but if you look at what shelter is saying that they will say that that there are vast numbers of homes that could be lived in and it's you know it's very easy for the media to blame councils for that but the vast majority of private individuals and again it's that it's that we have to change the narrative for people to understand that. That we have to start thinking about people's well being and not just your own greed Well you know just before we go on using your experience of selling clothes and come to market decades ago to be involved in major regeneration projects what would you do with the high street. Again that that's pretty obvious when we started when we started Red Red or Dead you know what we never thought we're going to we have 23 shots what we never called it a chain of shops it was a place where you went to experience club culture you went in there to find out about we always had the latest club music player and we always it was always about which club to go out to when you when you bought it when you bought your clubs and I grew up when I grew up in Blackburn the 1st thing that the main thing that you went into town for was to watch a band or go dancing or to meet a girl to meet your friends. Have a pie as it is in black when we. And another drink and then the byproduct of that was shopping and I think you know my generation was to blame and kind of putting you know I would never use the word High Street because I associate that with shop with just pure retail and the idea that shopping as a leisure function for our town centers is the main thing was just an aberration and now I think we're going back and again a new generation is sensible and we're going back to our town centers being so. Spaces where we dance we drink we we meet friends we meet our future future partner and what makes us happier about spend a bit of money on clothes and the way the next time you're out for a night are in black and so food will very happily join you down the road Thank you for joining us this morning anyway and having where they're talking about what we should do to build our homes a little bit better in the U.K. Thank you for everybody's got and such as Well that's it from my kids my breakfast Up next thank you. $92.00 to $95.00 and each one will be do we B.B.C.
