Well let's have a 1st shot though before we go back to John tongue with David doll of the Boston Globe Hello David Oh Rod It's great to hear your voice Well very nice to have you with us too I must say we're going to talk about one of the scar edges of the United States and also sadly to say increasingly of cities like Glasgow and that is opioids and this is home to Boston at the moment is trying to deal with discarded needles. That's right the city of Boston has a team going around to its parks and side streets and other public places to pick up needles they are story in The Boston Globe is saying that the city collects more than 14000 needles each week across the parks and playgrounds and at 13 kiosks that they have set up in different neighborhoods as well as through the city's needle exchange program this is a reflection of just how widespread this problem has become in the city of Boston I think something on your or 3000 people die die of opioid overdoses in Massachusetts the state. Last year the number is dropping down a little bit but these needles that are being found all over the city is but of one serious reflection of just how serious this this crisis is a fixed number of needles 400000 needles a week this is not if they ahd a needle on the pavement. Now it's incredible the we also have a few other numbers here the the city has a kind of a complaint line Boston 311 that people can call about any sort of thing those number number of calls has gone up significantly in the last 3 or 4 years something on the order of $4300.00 calls just in the 1st half of this year. You know there's there's plenty of ways to read this we have these kiosks where people can simply just drop the needles into a protected box so they aren't out on the street and as I said there's a needle exchange program that the I think a nonprofit has set up here the goal there is to sort of get rid of the do. Dirty needles so they aren't shared among addicts so diseases and spread among addicts via dirty needles and of course there's no it's not just that it's children playing in the park and and when a sports practice and all sorts of things oh absolutely once they're out there on the street you know that that's at this awful awful thing. And you know in the in the playground where 11 a neighborhood there's the area young football players practicing every day public squares and in another area. So the city obviously is very concerned about this and in you know it's a it also becomes another public relations problem for the city of Boston I mean there are if we we've had a lot of stories in the last I'd say the last month or so a particular corner called Melnyk Cass Boulevard in Massachusetts Avenue which is kind of on the edge of a very nice area of town called the South End but also on the edge of a kind of an up and coming industrial sort of town there are some homeless shelters in that area there's a jail. And as well it is an area where addicts congregate in part because of the shelters and I think there must be some treatment centers there for addicts and that has become quite a focal point for police the police went through there about 23 weeks ago rounded up a bunch of people in one instance they famously took a few a couple of wheelchairs and threw him in the back of a garbage truck which was an image that. Got ricocheted around on social media. So there was an exchange an encounter between one of the homeless attics and a jail officer. In which they scuffled a little bit so that has thrown a lot of attention on this disprovable which prank frankly has been growing over the last several years but through a lot of attention at this problem just in the last couple weeks in part because these folks are sort of going beyond their their kind of area quote unquote where they're supposed to stay and then gone into some of the residential areas and so suddenly the people that are the homeowners in the area are even more concerned the needles that we're talking about this evening in this story in The Globe today are yet another another issue as you point out where kids are playing in a park. You know this is not the sort of thing that the mayor of Boston would want to have to deal with or read about and so they're trying to. Get these things cleaned up the city is trained something like 400 custody ins as well as members of its partner guys like the folks who call custodians we might call janitors you know you go. Into how to handle needles you know this was to pick him up we gloves and with tongs and straw men to a secured garbage area so the they don't actually touch him you know I've seen him on on the floors of the BTA the the subway cars in another's places as well so it is a problem no doubt about it. Well thank you for telling us about it thank you for telling us what Boston is trying to do to this story I will talk to you very soon David OK thank you very much thank you well as for thought on. The matter which is uppermost in our minds moment. That would be the procedure whereby the Lords is going to pass the ban bill and send it back to the Commons where. Things be very different. Should be law let's talk again to Professor John Tom. Hello John good evening again yeah. The idea is that anything else that we were vague about I I'm looking at what Lord ashen of Hades said he said conversations had concluded that's a very nice phrase isn't it well the Lords tends to be much more civilized than the commons and I think that the the pro no deal breaks it contingent in the House of Lords not a big contingent anyway realized that they could carry on talking but they weren't going to be able to block the bill that way and so you know frankly common sense prevailed in the the decided in an early night was better than you know sleepless nights in what appeared to be a lost cause so the bill will the Ben Bill blocking a no deal Bragg's it will become law early next week it will go back to the House of Commons for approval a Monday and then receive the Royal Assent So we sort of know that. You know in so far as anything is certain in British politics so those are perhaps a few caveats So what happens then well this is where it gets really embarrassing for Boris Johnson because he has to go to the European Council Summit 17th and 18th of October requesting an extension to our E.U. Membership until the 31st of January 2020 that is a humiliation because from the outset he said there will be no extension that we believe it we will be leaving. Regardless on the 31st of October so the central plank of his opening you know few months within government lies in tatters this evening unless he can come up with some device to force a quick election this October you know he could no confidence his own government you need 50 percent plus one to. You know when a vote of no confidence to trigger an election but that would be an utterly bizarre way of entering the general election to call a vote of no confidence upon yourself and it it it frankly you know beggars belief that any government would go into an election optimistic for the outcome of the election having pull such a stunt to trigger one the other device to try and trigger a October election would still be to. Try and pass a bill in a single day overriding the fixed term parliaments act but Boris Johnson no longer has the numbers if he ever had been in the selling but not on the numbers now given the removal of the whip from those 21 rebel so he's going to go have to go cap in hand the irony is he might hope that one of the E.U. Member states remove all got to ratify an extension that one of those E.U. Member states might say no we want you out the we could be messed around by the United Kingdom I mean the person who might might be a manual Mark wrongly he's had enough by all accounts of the of the U.K.'s antics Boris Johnson could also take the nuclear option of ignoring the will of parliament and as a continuing members they can not support. Our continued status when the European Union that would cause constitutional uproar if he did that so I think he's just going to have to suck it and see Yeah well let's let's kind of go back because you know passes or go to the future let's hear the exchange PM queues promised a question between Gerry carbon and Boris Johnson and see if we can't figure anything out from that just you know on the evidence of what the Prime Minister's already said he wants to do so here here is 1st of all Jeremy carbon asking Boris Johnson what our strategy was going to be Yesterday it was revealed was to speak of a Prime Minister's a go she eating strategy is to run down the clock and that the attorney general told the prime minister his belief that the European Union would drop the backstop was a complete fantasy all these reports are accurate or can the prime minister provide the detail of the proposals he's put forward to the E.U. . So then here we got Mr Johnson saying that his negotiating strategy is to get a deal by the 17th of October I tell you want to tell you just think of what our negotiating strategy is and it is to get a deal by the Senate on October the 17th and to take this country out of the E.U. On October the 3rd even if they get bricks it done and what his surrender bill would do would wreck any chances for the talks and we don't know what do strategy is at all well might just stop there actually John come back to you because the prime minister said yesterday that if the Ben bill passed that would wreck any chance of talks Well it looks like it's going to pass doesn't it yes it does look like it's going to pass and it does wreck Boris Johnson's strategy Boris Johnson strategy was to not approach the European Union and conduct talks around a deal on the remnants of the May Barney agreement Boris Johnson's point it may have been completely floor but it was it was an argument at least part is Johnson's approach was to clear all the boulders out of the road show the E.U. That we were prepared to leave without a deal necessary and wait for the E.U. To come to Boris Johnson to say actually you know it's this is not a good idea it's not going to solve the issue the Irish border let's therefore you know finally belatedly make offer a series of concessions to the U.K. Now I doubt that that would have happened but that was the Boris Johnson line you know that far as Boris Johnson was concerned it was not his business to negotiate about around the deal that his previous lesser had negotiated it was to show the serious intent of the U.K. Government that we were prepared to countenance no deal and the E.U. Would come running to us there's little evidence the E.U. Was going to come running to us but that was the approach. Well as his hero there's a very sharp that of the prime minister after he lost the vote in the Commons I think he has become the cost to my knowledge the 1st leader of the opposition in the Democratic history of our country to refuse the invitation to an election this . Is going to get quite difficult obviously but still John we've got what I was come back to our old friend the bookies and they've been they've been pretty united haven't they in saying that they still give the Tories the edge in any election. Yeah and the husband Boris bounce if you look at the polls the conservatives are most opinion polls double digit have a double digit figure lead over Labor but remember that the way the votes crumble in constituencies the way the way a long live electoral landscape lies the conservatives need to be about 8 percent ahead to be sure of an overall majority so temper sent leaders is pretty fragile it was interesting to see the use of polio the other day where the public were asked regardless of their own political opinions what the they thought was the most likely outcome and a majority 57 percent said hung parliament and I think there's wisdom in the British public in that because it is the likeliest outcome of a general election parliament and so we may be a rinse and repeat job in which we have exactly the same stalemate at the other side of an election and the conservatives would have to hold their ground otherwise a Labor ministration to Jeremy Corbyn a minority administration might be invited to to form a government the biggest single problem the conservatives face going into an election in Scotland where things are looking bleak for the conservatives whereas they performed they over performed on the roof Davidson in 2017 not looking so good so considers going to have to make up any ground they lose in Scotland by capturing leave Labor leave seats in the north of England and there's no guarantee that they will do that but hung parliament is the likeliest outcome there's a question of whether the Conservative party is in a fit state of the moment to fight that election given the internal divisions within the party at large you know that you know facing a divided party. Whether it's with its own internal difficulties on the Scotland thing. I'm not sure this isn't just a figure plucked out of the ear but it has been said that the Scottish conservatives could lose 10 seats to the S.N.P. Is there any Safadi you know underlying that or is that just a kind of talking point though it's based upon successive opinion polls in Scotland which show that the conservative revival under Ruth Davidson who's now obviously stepped down and largely petered out the S.N.P. Had studied the ship having lost you know a significant number of seats in 2017 and is that you know bitter Yunis versus nationalist fault line that lies within Scotland in which the forces of of nationalism. They simply have a single party to go to in terms of the Scottish National Party and the Eunice vote has been split 3 ways between the Conservatives Labor Lib Dems and that split has not disappeared it's just that the balance of forces on the pro union side has shifted somewhat towards Labor and the Lib Dems. Rather than the conservative so you know the concert is simply cannot afford to sustain losses in Scotland if we're talking about because it is trying to get an overall majority then they need Scotland so again it's difficult to see from here how the conservatives in the Boris Johnson can can get an overall majority the but that's the reason that Boris Johnson is the Conservative leader it's the reason why so many M.P.'s backed him it's the reason why the party membership you know overwhelmingly endorsed him rather than Jeremy Hunt because he was seen as an election winner and I was also as as electable yeah yeah like that's an attraction can I ask use you're talking about one parliament what are the chances of a grand coalition I mean there is effectively a grand coalition of opposition right now between Labor and Liberal Democrats and the S.N.P. Who all combined to make sure that government didn't get its way on the Ben bill so why couldn't those 3 govern 3 parties somehow find their way into government I think that's a yes or yeah I think that's a distinct possibility a Labor Liberal Democrat as M.P. If not formal coalition alliance did the big question would be though about Scotland because obviously labor is a a Unisys of the small you party. And the minimum requirement of Nicholas Sturgeon's as M.P. Would be a 2nd referendum on independence for Scotland now John McDonnell at the Edinburgh Festival last month indicated that Labor would acquiesce in a Scottish. In a 2nd Scottish independence referendum that enraged Labour's leader in Scotland who said that is not a party policy at all so that issue would need to be resolved because that would be the price that Nicholas sturgeon would demand our support for a coup be in Premiership I think a Cuban a Macdonell probably would be prepared to concede a 2nd independence referendum that it has a. Possibility isn't it right now anyway we I feel that in all these discussions we get ahead of ourselves and we've got to keep our eyes on. The point at which the Commons reconvenes in the morning obviously they'll be a fairly different mood on the government bench and we have to know what they're going to say and we would know that until they say it so that's that's a big thing I want to tell you though that we did get a message from another Lord from the Lord wood and Lord wood if you may remember was going to be up all night playing Jethro Tull to his friends as they did as they did shifts such an interesting thing John the the Lords were going to do shifts in order to make sure that each side was covered in the debate on every successive Amendment and when they weren't required would be catching some sleep or just chatting quietly or in Lord which case playing Jethro Tull and Lord would told us filibuster over and I only got to 1975 men so in the gallery so in order. Out there in honor of that large ships and the changing political climate here Yes Jethro Tull a minstrel in the gal who's. At Was. A minstrel in the gallery thank you very much large.

Sports this is B.B.C. Radio 5 Live. Available on the B.B.C. Sounds all night with rock shop right as we were saying earlier the Undersecretary General for Humanitarian Affairs United Nations said that 70000 people now need food and shelter in the Bahamas hurrican Dorian meantime has moved finally away it's I is 50 miles across if you can conceive of that and it's moving north it's now off the coast of Jacksonville in Florida and we're joined from Miami by Linda Roberts in Miami which seems to have really missed the storm here Linda is a reporter for The Miami Herald it's not fair to say Linda Yes Miami and really most of Florida was spared this time. As the hurricane took its predicted turn no worse but of course it's ravaged the northern Bahamas on the way and now it's really dissipating. As it floats northward it's it's now a Category 2 isn't a done from the Category 5 which you are staunched present Trump and it's terrible damage Yes I mean we're just getting really horrific reports from the Bahamas because Jorian not only hit hit the islands with 185 mile per hour winds 220 mile per hour gusts storm surge that was 2 stories high and it just sat there you know for 36 hours. Dumping rain over the islands and these are the you know the northern elder islands where a lot of people didn't have a lot of protection to begin with. A far as a in this far is about homicides concerned there's one story here which you've been running about the Disney Company on and on and. Really cynical signing policy about their own staff in the Bahamas What can you tell us well they decided to they have sort of a private key there that they use you know for their for their cruise passengers and a sense of being assigned the island Yeah it's tiny you know tiny island to see a Y. Is how they they spell it there but they pronounce it key. And they just they sort of made an executive decision to leave the crew on the boat there during the storm rather than try to get them out do you know how the crew fared well I guess they fared fine because it's a large you know it's a large cruise ship but yes people have interpreted that as rather. You know cavalier decision by the company. Toward its employees in terms of behavior on the on the mainland I mean of course you know whenever you words to the news on a cable channel or on the may need evening news on the on the big networks it's it's huge but how have Floridians taken this one I mean have they have the moved out of coastal areas or not. I think some of the some of the people that were on sort of the outlying islands on the coast of Florida people who lived in mobile homes for example people who felt particularly vulnerable they may have moved to to shelters but for the most part you know the forecasts have become so sophisticated that I think people. Become a little bit complacent and confident about predicting where the storm is going to head in and how serious it's going to be so here you know there was early panic and every put it everybody put their shutters up and got their supplies ready but then as the forecast changed things pretty much meant went back to normal here in Miami area farther north. You know people were out playing in the surf and. Really just taking pictures and didn't make much of it and the most of the damage is is. Like erosion to the beaches there wasn't really much. Structural damage to anyone's homes or businesses where as for the north they're getting really in the in in places north of Charleston in the Carolinas because that's where they think this thing is going right and there are you know they're worried that it's going to restring thing and over the water you know we now have sort of overheated oceans and that's causing these hurricanes to be much more fierce than they were in the past although that's sort of offset by the you know the the better more accurate forecast systems that we have now. Present Trump of course a great deal of property in Florida including his favorite resort Mar-A Lago how did Mar-A Lago fare. No problems with Mar a Lago. In fact trump canceled his visit to Poland to stay home and monitor the hurricane situation and ended up playing some golf so the historic Mar-A Lago state. Whether the whole thing fine it's weathered many hurricanes by the way. And Trump you know he was here. He you know he issued his usual. You know sympathy sympathetic comments about what happened. In the islands but. We didn't hear much from him. Behavior and community in Florida how are they responding to what's been going on there well there's been an. Enormous outpouring of support here in South Florida particularly in Coconut Grove in West Coconut Grove which is a neighborhood in Miami which was settled by Bahamians who came to Miami at the turn of the century as contract workers to they basically built the city of Miami so a lot of their descendants are still there a lot of people who have relatives in the Bahamas are there as luck would have I think now I think Coconut Grove is probably my favorite part of Miami it's a lovely park it's a yeah it's my favorite part too it's very historic very lush. Sort of you know it's on the bay. It's a beautiful area and so the people who the descendants of the people who built Miami are now vowing to help rebuild the Bahamas and they've got a lot of friends and family over there that they haven't heard from yet. I've seen we were talking to the Red Cross director earlier on and I saw somebody in an in one of the aid organizations on here ambulance you know. Who are doing amazing work saying they really should evacuate the whole island the hewn anybody saying that is that is that pretty extreme. That sounds pretty extreme I think it would be would be hard to convince people to do that. But you know the waters have not even subsided yet so I think the search and rescue missions are going to be very complicated. There are varying estimates on how many deaths we have a congresswoman here who's a native of the Bahamas and she says she thinks there's going to be hundreds of Taliban he's because there were some people basically squatting in the on the smaller keys a lot of Haitians who basically were undocumented and didn't seek shelter because they were afraid of you know being sent back to Haiti so there's all kinds of fear that the death toll is going to be is going to be very high once once the water subside and people track down where there are where their loved ones are Linda thanks very much for talking to us thank you Linda Robertson reports are the Miami Herald. Well the death has occurred of the American songwriter was Sean Daniels who died at the age of 41 and if you don't know the name you will certainly know some of the songs. At the. At the. To. Meet the lady and. To. Get the . He wasn't man enough for me that was Toni Braxton before that you heard Destiny's Child say my name Lady Gaga was telephone Brandy and Monica the boys my and Whitney Houston it's not right but it's OK Obviously a very very talented fellow and as we heard he also worked with other artists I mean we had. There's not be an say in there he worked with Jennifer Lopez Michael Jackson and. The Sean Daniels died in a car crash in South Carolina according to a tweet by his wife by a post by his wife on Instagram. We can talk to Crystal Jordan who is pop culture analyst and head of and trying to P.R. Work with Sean Daniels and interviewed him last year for rolling out Hello Crystal Hello how are you a good good strong R. And B. Songs all of these. I mean how big was he an R. And B. . Guy I don't think that you could actually have a real conversation about R. And B. Over the last 2 decades and not mention the name of Sean Daniels he was inspirational he work with the greats you mention Whitney Houston Michael Jackson Jennifer Lopez Randy I mean the list goes on and on but what really stood out about him I had the pleasure before interviewing him you know meeting him with a songwriter that I represented that he worked with that had so much admiration for him but I don't think that you will meet a person in the industry in the music industry that did not have an immense amount of respect for this for this man not only his talent but just his personality he really was just an all around great guy. Did he work with with one producer I mean was he like you know the sort of the Scandinavian hit factories you know they're very much unit was he associated with any one producer or duty to the Rover or well you know everyone or you know was that he had a great chemistry with Rodney Jerkins they have some huge hits together I believe you played one Toni Braxton record and he and Ronnie worked really well with brandy and just made some timeless hits but all in all he really you know his talent would go anywhere but he had the most recent hits with Mark Braxton in 2016 and was really a part of her her debut with her big hit in 2012 Love and War and that was his his you know his collaboration with another producer so he really had the I mean he was just a talented person and again I mean he he was on television a few times with Lauren vents and their family and just a person that people really really enjoyed he actually had started over the last few years talking about marriage so it's like the love songs that he wrote his life exemplify them because one of his his passions was sharing the joy of having a healthy relationship and trying to get other people to realize that there was there was peace and value and having a solid family foundation and so he and his wife counseled other couples in the business and their church and I can just an exemplary man with God given talent yes a real role model in an industry that always needs rule mortals absolutely 100 to make his start how to get his breakthrough. Well he started. In New Jersey you know years ago and some of his best work I think that that relationship with Rodney Jerkins you know started early on and then we know that he got that 1st his 1st Grammy was in 2001 with a very very early Destiny's Child for say my name so he had. Started out with with with roots in the church to sing in the church that's a lot of people don't realize that not only was he an amazing songwriter but he saying he was a great artists and performers stuff as well so it's really interesting isn't it this close connection of singing an R. And B. It's it's an extra couple it is it is I think it's absolutely it's a God given and when you have a voice like that in a talent like that it's no it's no wonder that it starts with those church roots Well let's let's hope that has his family's faith and well known in the difficult time and thank you very much Crystal for talking to us absolutely Thank you it's time for us to take a look at what Bianca Grady has been seeing this week in Science Hello Bianca a low road Welcome back thank you very much thank you. It's funny to be back I'm wondering if Dr Krauss will know who I am but will. So so here is something that as we know stroke the impairments that stroke can cause to so many different forms and in this case he was a really for the world of science not for the individual a really interesting one what happened. Yes So this is extraordinary story of a as stroke survivor who lost the ability to name colors so this is it didn't lose the ability to see them or to categorize things as being of the same color but lost the ability to name colors and I mean a fun distress that I find anything around the question of how we perceive the world here particularly color you know the idea that we may not all see the world the same way and so in this case this unfortunate individual had a stroke which is where you get a a blockage of of blood vessels in the brain or bleed into the brain and that causes damage to a particular area of the brain and that affects its function and that we're fortunate to survive but they experience these unusual effects so this person can still see the colors so they when they were asked to group objects of the same or similar color to give up they were able to do that and to I guess classify that well but they weren't able to actually put a label on them so to say that they were red or green or blue or yellow and the reason this is so fascinating is because touches on what's actually quite a philosophical question about the nature of perception which is the does the act of naming something so acute like science something is red or blue does that then enable us to then categorize the things that we see or do those categories already exist in nature and we simply come up with the names for them it's a bit kind of chicken and egg it's like which comes 1st the name of the categorization I thank you for I am or is there some other answer for you here well this is this is why don't I mean it is a question of science but it is also a question of philosophy I mean the 2 are kind of in extra complete I think. Where this gets interesting with colors is because color categories don't exist in the realm of physics colors are a continuous spectrum of of wavelengths of light there's no clear going to boundary that exists between for example red and blue it's just that we impose those boundaries categories and we give them names but the fact that this person was able . To recognize those boundaries but wasn't able to name them does it really raise the questions that if these color groupings don't come from the language what did they come from why is it that we hate it when I think it's a hate so had the ability to recognize that they were these differences but had lost the connection with the actual names of them which suggests that the names of the things that define the categories and I know it is stuck to get a little bit color is a terrible thing I did my eyes go get cross but the other instinct thing is this is that I could still name black white and grey so they say they were able to actually recognize and name black white and grey but just not color so this again opens up a whole other question of why is that a recognition of 19 as a black white and grey seem to have been in a different part of the brain to where we recognize in the color I mean it just it's such a fascinating case I can just imagine the people working on it you know it's like lifetime of papers to be written or did I mean language in the brain is so fundamental and of course you've got people like Norm Chomsky on the other hand you know who are trying to work out the deep structure of language and it's so immensely interesting and. The power of a stroke to deprive you of language is something that far too many people know. A great friend and mentor of mine. A stroke which deprived him of language and that's a condition known as a physio. Yeah for someone who has a life was words it was a tremendous tragedy. And I think this is a I mean the brain is such a complex and in some ways so mysterious object that often we don't come to grips with these things until something goes wrong you know until somebody experiences a stroke or in the case of is it Phineas Gage who was a famous case of the route road worker who got a metal spike who was Brian and he survived but it completely changed his personality and you know we it's they's kind of unique cases you know I'm unfortunate cases for the individual involved but it does just open yet another little window into how these you know the kind of interconnected parts of the brain and how they work together how they don't work together so it's you know it's a little thing adds to our understanding instance be great if we could have this understanding without somebody having to suffer a stroke to get a bogus goodness nor corneal transplant are affecting. The difference here is how this cornea was actually produced. Yes So a Japanese woman has become the 1st person to receive a transplanted cornea which is that transparent layer of cells that cover the front of the eye but this one was grown from reprogrammed stem cells and so they were told that reprogram stem cells what's what we're talking about is taking adult normal cells are usually skin cells and then reprogramming them back to their stem cells States I was trying to explain stem cells lead already has died it's kind of like the stem cells of the acorn from which the entire tree of human cell lines or any living creature cell lines spring and so in this case they were able to reprogram these back to stem cell state and then tweak them so that they grew into Corneille cells that were able to then grow a layer of corneal cells and transplant that onto the surface where I could see had a disease that meant that her cornea wasn't able to repair itself and so it was again early days with all things stem cell these are very early days but it is an exciting development in terms of our ability to regenerate cells that have been damaged and I can't I would say it's a proof of our use for stem cells you know rather than those kind of. Their blue sky. Sessions about stem cells being able to do all things that we absolutely are seeing for our staff the case for this marvelous technology yanker thank you very much. Thank you like.
