Radio Scotland It's 8 minutes past 4 and this is news Dr tonight with Laura Maxwell our top story. A coroner looking into the London Bridge terror attacks says new laws are needed to ban the possession of extremist propaganda Mark lucrative terms highlighted a gap in the law which means it may be impossible for police or m I 5 to act on offensive material he also suggests improving facilities for translating communications received from foreign intelligence services who affairs correspondent Dominic Christianity has been giving me the details when you have a major inquest in England and Wales relating to a major disaster where there are questions asked about whether or not it could have been prevented the coroner is under a legal obligation to produce a report sent to the government and other public agencies in which he or she sets out measures or proposals and recommendations which they believe could help prevent future deaths Gnosis is an important legal report which then the public bodies concerned have to answer they have to give in a response and in this case they have to respond to the coroner Mark Luke raft q.c. The chief coroner by the 10th of January in relation to his 18 recommendations he makes 18 recommendations across government including the Home Office the Metropolitan Police m I 5 m I 6 and the emergency services as well what do you think are the main ones so I think it's really interesting how there's a lot of detail in here and I've just been speaking to. Somebody in who has concerns about the inquest and some of the findings what the coroner is trying to do is hit every area of concern on the night so I start with the most obvious one which is the protection of the bridge itself now what he says is the criteria the national criteria for protecting public spaces is weak and to Richard and what he means by that is there is a secret test within government of what types of crowded spaces counterterrorism specialists believe would be most vulnerable to a terrorist attack and if you think about that that's pretty. Obvious from some of the barriers which had been implemented at major political institutions to protect them from attack but the question about which other public spaces get protected is a little bit more ambiguous is a little bit a little bit more difficult for the public to understand what's going on what the coroner said is these be a bit of a rethink about how those tests are applied because in the case of London Bridge there was at least one senior police officer and an outside expert body who had concerns it could become a target but no barriers have been put in place and on the night of the attack on June 27th in the 3 attackers drove a van down the footpath across the bridge killing 2 predestines on their way to a further attack at the at the end of the bridge and if they'd been changes in how these locations are tested in the cesspit been rebuilt see perhaps the attack could have taken place and he's also calling for new laws to ban the possession of extremist propaganda Yes this is this is this is quite a complicated one more because it may come as a surprise to some people that the mere possession of terrorist material isn't a crime itself there are there are 2 crimes which you count for foul of such as disseminating terrorist publications so if I had for instance a magazine or propaganda produced by the Islamic state group I passed it to you I would be guilty of an offense there also the possession of documents which may be useful in terrorism such as a bomb making manual or something which kind of encourages insights terrorist acts that's an offense as well but just the mere possession is not an offense and the reason why that's important is because the ringleader occur but his phone was absolutely chock a full with extremist material and propaganda from news law makes dates group m I 5 knew this because they've been keeping a very careful watch on him for a number of years they have real concerns about his intentions but the mere possession itself isn't actually a crime and crack you see says maybe this is the time to make it a crime. And his thinking on that is we have recently legislated to make it an offense to possess extreme versions or poor of Griffy which involve harm even if the harm to 2 individuals is consensual and he's thinking maybe there is some change in the law that's for fill that gap which in turn would make make it easier for the police are moving more quickly against some key suspects where they're not sure what the suspect's actual intention is Yeah and you've mentioned that the government and the key agencies involved here have until early January to respond as have been any response though so far from the victims. Some of the victims have definitely welcome there so one of the leading lawyers for 6 of the families Helen Boniface from one of the big law firms involved in the inquest she says that the families they work with welcome these recommendations in particular warn on a proposal for instant reporting of vehicle rentals to the security services because a rented van used on the night they remain concerned about the response of some of the emergency services personnel on the night about how quickly they got to the injured and to the dying because of how the police were controlling what is called a hot zone through which only police officers are allowed to go now the coroner has tried to address that saying look I think these recent thinking about who is allowed into these so-called hot and warm zones in the middle of a terrorist incident resources suggest is actually that some place officers could receive really advanced medical training akin to battlefield tree are medicine so that even if it's too dangerous to get an ambulance or paramedic in from the from or from a hospital you could actually have police officers potentially helping save those lives Dominic cash money there are home affairs correspondent now the white goods company Whirlpool has been criticized for its slow response in replacing their faulty tumble dryer and for their nondisclosure practice which M.P.'s believe was to silence their customers. Said $800000.00 of its dryers are still in circulation and could be at high risk of causing fires the company though has reported that its campaign to fix or replace the machines has been 5 times more successful than usual product recalls where Gemma spar was at home with 3 of her children when her tumble dryer burst into flames in October last year when I heard that they were a been obliged by our think the government to do recall or refund I contacted them again and asked for refund once again another engine is but don't think it's fair that some people have been given their money back with what they've left in the house and their house a lot of other. Dangerous machinery now let's hear from Penny Walsh from electrical safety 1st it's incredibly concerning news that these dry as a still out there we completely support the report that's been issued by the select committee because they're very right to be using such strong language to criticize the way that well Paul have actually responded to this safety issue it's been dating back now to 2015 and it's astonishing that there are still so many out there potentially fire risks in people's houses their own interesting point of this was that the company had used non-disclosure agreements for people who had had issues absolutely and that again is something that we absolutely disagree with anything relating to safety is so important and to have transparency is vital so that people can learn from it people know what's going on so it's very worrying to know that as part of a settlement with people who have been affected that these N.G.'s have been put in place all the whirlpool does say that the campaign had to fix and or replace these machines has been 5 times more successful than its usual product recalls Yes I mean it is an absolutely mammoth task as we know this is a design that some 11 years old so there's a potentially there have been around 5000000 machines out there but I think the fact that there are still so many still out there shows really that the recall system at the. Moment is not fit for purpose and something we're calling for is a central recall database so that consumers know where to go if there's an issue if they want to check something people don't register their appliances so the problem is manufacturers can't reach them which is how you end up in this sort of situation but to the public not have to take some sort of blame for this because there can hardly be anybody out there no that doesn't know that there's an issue with these tumble dryer there's been a huge amount of media coverage but people don't realize why they need to register appliances and that's something I think has to change we would recommend registration a point of purchase but that's something that is a long way from coming in I think. There's not a lot really that we can do to force consumers to register products but I think we need to raise awareness there of the reason why they need to be doing it a lot of people think it's for an extended warranty or they're going to be absolutely spammed with marketing messages and it's not it's literally if there's a problem the manufacturer can get in touch have all the issues with these tumble dryer no been ironed out the new anyone new ones being manufactured will be absolutely fine it is important if anyone has one of these machines that they register them for the modification Whirlpool have a huge number of engineers who will come out and do that modification which will then make them safe to use and what sort of measures do you think that the company should be putting in place to ensure Product Safety. Every product has rigorous safety testing it's inevitably occasionally there will be a problem the thing to do is to act swiftly to issue a recall as soon as you know there's a problem it's not a case of sort of good p.r. To kind of cover it up I think you you need to be honest with your customers and get the information out there as quickly as possible I'm just wondering if tougher regulations would concentrate minds across the board for all electrical companies or whether actually the legislations there it's just needs better put into place better but there is a lot more that could be Don as I say we would like to see a centralized recall database I think the office for product safety and standards has a big part to play here in sort of protecting the public and doing more as you say to make manufacturers take the action necessary Pennie watch there from electrical safety 1st. News drive on b.b.c. Radio Scotland Let's get the headlines Nicholas Star Jones says she'll make a formal request for a 2nd independence referendum before Christmas regardless of who's prime minister a 2nd man has been charged in connection with the deaths of 39 migrant. Whose bodies were found in a lorry container in Essex and police have revealed they've written to the solicitors of the 2 people convicted of murdering a vulnerable teenager Margaret Fleming in an attempt to find where her body is which aren't with Susan Morrison and Louise human they're about 450 years ago our country was convulsed by waves of savage panics and purges leading to the judicial matter of thousands of our own citizens in Li women for crimes they not only didn't commit but which were impossible for anyone to commit new podcast from b.b.c. Radio Scotland this was somebody who could interfere with the crops could cause perhaps your family members to 2nd a whole range of things the idea is that which is someone who says I'm not going to have faith in God anymore my allegiance will instead be to God's great enemy of 04 and subscribe to what chant No on b.b.c. Sides. You're listening to b.b.c. Radio Scotland disses news Dr tonight with me Laura Maxwell It's 20 past 4 now scientists estimate around a quarter of the global pig population is expected to die as a result of the African swine fever epidemic the World Organization for Animal Health said the rapid spread of the disease to countries including China which has half the world's paid population had inflamed a worldwide crisis I've been hearing from Allister driver who's the editor of u.k. Pig world he says producers here are extremely concerned about the spread of the virus the likely cause of spread around the world is primarily been infected me so that the viruses in the food chain can survive in frozen in tiny quantities for a very long time so although we've never had that there was a real concern that you know that it could arrive and if it did it be devastating So the message is going out really to people that visit they might come from these infected areas that did not bring back meat and particular pork products because that is the most likely way that pigs will become infected if swine fever is in these products and is it harmful to humans know it is very healthy to pigs and can cause a 100 percent were Tallaght but not at all due to humans so we know that it's that it's spread to China which is what half the world's pig population is also in 50 other countries how close is it getting to the u.k. . The closest it got was Belgium in September last year that was a real kind of wake up call in fact the disease has been contained within the wellbore population it didn't get into domestic picks and the latest from Belgium is that they've managed to keep it largely under control beyond that it's been in Eastern Europe and it's been ready. Gradually west over the past few years but it hasn't got yet really further than places like the Czech Republic Cumbrae book area that said still in some of those Eastern European countries no to be remain young buck area there is still quite a lot of disease and I suppose the threat then is if we're buying products pies so assign years whatever sausages from those countries that it could be that produce that is a problem there are rules and regulations around trade from infected areas that should keep those products out of the country as I said earlier the real concern is that people who travel to infected areas and bring products back with them that that is the real fear and then it's. Ensuring that people don't feed any any anything let alone just meat any kind of kitchen waste or catering waste to pigs whether they're outdoor pigs and they're just trying to feed them to be helpful or that bigs and those are the really key messages and it is of course illegal to do so under the under this will feeding what we know able to stop the spread there is no Maxie So that's one reason and also where is really taking hold So 1st of all in Eastern Europe over the past decade and since August 20th in China the biggest reason many millions of small holdings we are going to limited by security and the virus can spread in so many ways and say can survive for a long time it can spread in pics weighed in. Polk products by humans it can be spread on people on vehicles in wild animals even in insects from pick to pick and where you have lots and lots of small farms it's just been impossible to contain the authorities in China have trite but they really struggle to get on top of it what's the worst case scenario here the worst case scenario would be if the virus then spreads before it is detected so as in. And one foot in mouth expressed before anyone is aware of it and then we have the 1st case and by that time it's already around the country we would be in a lot of trouble and you would be a lot of slaughtering of farms and all sorts of lengths a movement restrictions that said if it does go it it does get into the country and it is so discovered quickly and kind of wiped out and contained source it wouldn't necessarily be such a disaster but the real you know there's a massive export market for the u.k. Pork industry and an outbreak could really be devastating for the public sector Alister drily for their who's the editor of u.k. Pick wild time night 25 per cent for let's get into sports headlines with tossed on can thank you a lot of the hearts and 3 manager Austin McPhee says no isn't the time to discuss whether he would like to do the job on a permanent basis McPhee will take charge of Sunday's League Cup semifinal match against Rangers after Craig Levine was sacked as manager and the club's director of football yesterday McPhee says he's meeting with the club's owner on barge this afternoon and confirmed she is conducting a review of both of Levine's previous roles Meanwhile the Rangers boss Steven Gerrard says triggering sacking us Hearts manager surprised them but will have no effect on his side's chances of reaching the League Cup Final Gerrard also remains confident goalkeeper Alomar Gregor will be fit for the match at home then after missing the midweek win over Ross County with a shoulder injury.

Radio Scotland news and I thank you very much indeed let's find out what the weather has in store for us tonight and across the weekend lots of fireworks displays closer quim are now going to be damp does look quite different it's been all change we've lost the high pressure the sprawl the fine subtle weather that we've had most of this week and are afraid is cloud it's rain and that's been the story for today it's been quite a grey day we have had some quite quite heavy rain at times now at the moment that rain is the majority of it is north of the central belt a lot across the Highlands at the moment as well into the northeast for Southern. Central and western areas though it is becoming a bit dry compared to how it has been to end the day and into the evening for a time but remain quite cloudy and we're expecting more in the way of rains come later in the day and overnight tonight so for tonight then that rain will Klingon across much of the north and elsewhere across the south another band of rain will arrive later bringing some persistent heavy rain for a time again moving northeast was during the night and it's quite a breezy night soon for Lewis for the north coast in the mainland the easterly winds will touch gale force at times and temperatures tonight dipping down to around $6.00 to $9.00 Celsius so unless cold night then we have had of late and for tomorrow low pressure does remain in charge keeping things unsettled so the start of the weekend it will be cloudy they'll be further outbreaks of rain and the rain will continue throughout the course of the day for more northern areas for Caithness for Easter Ross towards international area for Mari Aberdeenshire and for north and just to this may lead to some localized flooding some difficult driving conditions for this reason the Met Office has issued a yellow warning in place from 6 o'clock tomorrow morning until midday on Sunday for these areas specifically elsewhere though for central southern areas conditions will improve later in the day as we are expecting some brightness some dry weather maybe even some sunshine developing the Dumfries and Galloway the border is Argyll and central areas to Sunday should be dry as well. Digital radio f.m. Medium wave our new b.b.c. Songs b.b.c. Radio Scotland and this is news Dr tonight with Laura Maxwell whom a court in Barcelona has acquitted 5 men of gang raping a 14 year old girl the men were convicted of a lesser charge of sexual abuse because lawyers argued the girl was so intoxicated that no violence was used the case has caused outrage among women's groups in Spain about the definition of rape under Spanish law well let's cross to Barcelona now and speak to the journalists Canal's Good afternoon Sara and just to be clear these men have been jailed It's just that they've been jailed for a lot less time than they would have done if they'd been convicted of the Spanish equivalent of rape exect. That's right they have been fed and between 10 and 12 years in prison however they are carriage of sexual abuse which is the lesser offense up off the pews Now if you'd like to take a look at the case that the case took place in a man there's no it is a parson up programs back in 2016 this group of young men took turns to rape the teenager and this happened during an outdoor Trink in session in an abandoned factory so back in July what happened victim testified that she was under the effect of alcohol and drugs she was unconscious most of the time and that she remembers only part of what happened that night however to Barcelona high court argued that you nor to come victim and of gang rape violence or intimidation it had to be proven and the fact that she doesn't remember then disease why they have been charged off of a lesser offense of abuse and the girl was unconscious which means that these men did not resort to violence or intimidation does what the high court is arguing and I suppose the issue here is that this case has quite a number of similarities to another gang attack in Pamplona which also made headlines like this exactly some people are calling these games as other than men but as a man of means. And it's a reference to this case it was the 1st of many cases that have graced controversy leading to protests and demonstrations across Spain and also fueling a feminist revolution the Wolfpack case in Pamplona saw 5 men convicted for sex really abusing a young woman and after a series of protests the Supreme Court finally converted the original verdict to rape and raced the prison sentences from 9 to 15 years so is there then a review currently taking place to look could what constitutes rape and consent to crack cross the country. Well as referring to the specific mandate as a case in the next days we will see if it's taken to higher courts such as the Catalan high court which is a previous step before going into the Supreme Court however these verdict has fueled. Another call from some sectors of the society for a change in the criminal coat these groups believe that the verdict reflects an outdated criminal code they state that it's time to change it so that it's understood that only a yes means yes and that consent must be given in a free and conscious and responsible manner however the political activity here in Spain has been slow there hasn't been progress whatsoever and we've got a we run up a general election taking place in a week. So we'll see if the if the government takes action after the elections in this regard well sort of reaction has there been from women's groups and campaigners x. Actually women's groups that just organisation on female judges the have specifically demanded teen just to the Spanish law once again because they already . Claim is changes back with the Wolfpack case and we've also seen many other kinds of protests or reactions to that verdict for instance there were hundreds of people taking districts in mind as I yesterday night and now their protest is scheduled for tomorrow in members at 1 pm We've also seen some reactions on social media even from from police Titian's for instance the Barcelona Myer she's a woman other Callao she has denounced the verdict considering that outrageous and so there is definitely a lot of social pressure on this regard back in the day that our stance with the prime minister said that that it's time for Spain to to continue to make progress in protecting the. Rights and Freedoms of women but for now we have been thinking of it and we will have to wait until we've got a. Government here in Spain Sara thank you very much indeed for your time this evening sack and I was there reporting from Barcelona the time I just coming up to 23 minutes to 5 and some tech news Google are apparently about to buy Fitbit they're paying $2100000000.00 for the fitness trucking company had built that it has sold more than $100000000.00 devices but it had put itself up for sale last month the transaction is expected to be completed by next year will Jennifer Baker is a technology policy journalist based in Brussels and joins me on the line NY Good afternoon to you Jennifer Good afternoon what do we know about this deal well we know I mean is it the announcement of being made as you say it is 2100000000 this is not an unusual or particularly surprising move for Google Google itself is really trying to just sort of struggles to move into the hardware the product side of things you know it makes nest it makes it makes a pick cell phone that is not a good thing very very well and it's a cancer but Google Glass 1st kind of for a in shape to wearables on its own never really took off and never really gained the sort of traction the Google probably wanted so the idea that that buying flip it does fit very well into their portfolio it's clearly going to cause a lot of privacy concerns for a lot of people that the tracking and the wearables industry is already at the forefront of that and then combine that with Google and you do have a big discussion that's definitely going to marry a tad Yeah I was wondering if you're if you're wearing ad tracker which might have g.p.s. Involved and then you're also attached to it's a Google product does that mean that people will know all the time where you are. Well in Syria I mean of course Google can already track a hold of your location to your phone use obviously when Google Maps and so on I mean I think one of the ways they will probably might want to marry information together will be with the Google Maps app which is of course hugely dominant in the map space and the Fitbit tracker and the 5th Ed and other wearables is trackers on their own already faced sort of a discussion a couple of years ago the Norwegian Consumer Council did this very wide ranging investigation into the terms and conditions of these devices and whether or not people who were strapping them to their wrist really knew what they were signing up for getting into and actually because of a lot of that investigation the terms and conditions of these devices including separate were changed to give users a little bit more chance to opt out of some of the more invasive tracking techniques but you know Google and fit that have that but it's come out with a statement today saying we take data protection and privacy very very seriously but we have been here before we heard from say Facebook in the whatsapp merger several years ago that they were not going to merge the data sets that were not going to merge the information between the 2 you know they the merger got approved by the powers that be in the various countries and they motivated they merge the data so you know I imagine we will see Google and Fitbit saying very clearly we're not going to use this data to track you we're not going to use this data that we get from the Fitbit to you know serve you as Or shall use stuff that you don't want to be sold and they would certainly be expected to acquire that sort of law but what happens further down the line is up to anyone's guess I mean it's an interesting time that they're doing that when we're hearing even in the Us Some people like Senator Elizabeth Warren saying we want to break up big check not consolidate it further into the hands of just the the duopoly as it's called and I still struggle to understand necessarily want to get cited this the news you say they want to move into the hardware market but if it does feels a bit old fashioned these days. Well it may be just an awful lot of people wear them an awful lot of people are using them I mean you know but in terms of the wearable health tech. I mean it's quite basic in comparison to whole lot of other ones. That lady so I mean and I think maybe by design because people want sort of simpler easier to use or you know it depending on the marketplace you're aiming for in terms of a little bit older people who are wearing seat belts as opposed to some other devices but you know this this is their 1st out I mean it's a very big brand recognition it's very well known you also have to look at the way in which these wearables are attaching themselves to other industries like the health insurance industry for example. Health insurance provider in the u.s. Who will offer you a different e-mail in a different package if you agree to wear a wearable So it's quite invasive and it's quite insidious where where this might go with Google being already able to create vast of out of other things that you do the actual idea that attaching it to your physical movement may create these you know I mean that sort of dystopian theory is that this will create profiles that are just far too easy to manipulate people even in terms of what they want to do with the help of either and so on Jennifer I am taking my health watch off as we speak thank you very much and do you go for a run Jennifer Baker Technology Policy journalist based in Brussels thank you very much indeed.

Been relaxing today after reaching the quarter finals of the Champions League they knocked out the Danish side. After a thrilling penalty shootout when goalkeeper Leon Xander saved 3 penalties it's a remarkable turnaround in fortunes for Alexander who was at the center of the penalty drama which saw Scotland crash out of the World Cup in the summer after she didn't initially made one seemed a match winning safe against Argentina but are checking the penalty please don't tell me oh yeah Xander was awfully good she was all for lying but not yet both be all for lying when the ball was kicked I think this is going to be oh I dunno but we know for sure we take every Take this is over but we will start to depart the province can't be with you but you think you should become you know exactly what the light. Is going to be born against the Alexander but our 2nd time to level the scores for you all kindly Alexander perform a miracle once again here she comes because like you thank you to our level Thank you it was me you are just you know me. I still look like they're heading into the World Cup. I've forgotten her to figure out waltz Well our reporter Jane Lewis has been speaking to Leon Xander and she asked her how she was feeling about last night's game hey I think that games it always quite difficult to shine and take your mind off of that bar especially last night that we that obviously all unfolded then didn't get back on until after midnight and of course your head's going to overload. Second of all the things that you probably should've done in the game and things like that I think overall just the lady that got the job done in the end made it difficult for so. Yeah obviously deleted we didn't about those penalties and saves you know I didn't want to go through that stage but. You know walk and I had a feeling the last couple of minutes so exciting that it was going to. Already had my. I mean made up of what was going to do and I feel confident annoyed and. I could make cvs and that they get us to put them away so you know I'm just ultimately over them and to see is go through you see you hope it didn't get to the stage but as a goalkeeper that was your movement to potentially shine so secretly we quite belatedly. Not really I want to play underscore that she can last whether we want to somebody shooting that one way you. Could see that that apparently a lot of the most. And you just have to feel and believe in yourself and nor that you don't control and unfortunate enough of safety. And just on the business in what was through your mind when you're facing a porter and those you know only those there will yards between you and I think I have to try and feel as if I'm the one in control. They're the one I asked to beat me so i can all look at body language 350 of food and stuff like that. Bar on the way it just I don't know you have a gut feeling of what you want to do and you just have to try to execute it and after you see if the 1st one does Did you just feel yourself good confidence after the other to have a real effect I was disappointed not to get the 1st chili and then going to the 2nd that just. Had Phil belief that I was going to get something on to. Yeah you're just focused and it's going to disclose a goalkeeper kids need or really want to focus on what the players are doing in terms of our penalties you want to watch it but you want to focus on what you're doing so there was points I didn't really enjoy or even really nor that Jordan. Had finished off am I was going to the point I think I was still channeling myself afraid I've got one more to go or it was finished so yeah I think you probably just get yourself in as all and then and make sure that the support of accomplishment and the celebrations there are wonderful for people watching the agreeable what would you like to be involved than just a highly emotional loadable Yeah it's just it's an incredible achievement for us as a club to have done it once before but to do it no and the state that that we're going to footballers ever go on and we nor that that we are quite a number of years behind him in terms of budgets bar collectively as a scored and everyone together here's how it was always a really special place for us. It was absolute rock and last night I think we had a lot momentum after the 1st half we changed obviously a few tactical issues that we felt that we probably won't close enough to them for staff bar yet to to have those celebrations to see what it means to everybody and especially to our 2 winners to see that they've had this cop for 21 years know and that she just keep coming in to quarter 2nd quarter finals and European. Competition is ridiculous I don't think they would have ever imagined that that would have happened and I'm just so proud of everyone at the club and to be a part of it again is the biggest achievement the Glasgow City. Has achieved given what you've said about the growth of women's game and the budgets else we are in Europe I would see so over the years obviously we've we've had religiously strong teams. And year by year we consistently lose players and to go to professional contacts which is understandable but we're largely an amateur team and competing against all 14 teams pretty much saw for us to do in the state at the money of it that's getting chopped owned as that's what you want to see you want to see movement or progress in Glasgow so he has that vision that we want to be there one day as well we obviously know that with a little bit behind. But to nor that a club like last year's And the last of kin to get up in competition is incredible where and work you have a climate like critical and congratulations to them as well Lee Alexander there who's very relieved after saving 3 penalties last night to leave Glasgow City in the quarterfinals of the Champions League was talking to our reporter Jane Lewis Don't forget over on the b.b.c. Scotland Channel tonight there's a live coverage from Dens Park of done these clash with Greenock Morton That's from 7 o'clock sport signs on here from half past 6 in the be plenty of coverage across the weekend for the Scottish League Cup semi finals.

Split up in the mid eighty's but a new version of the bandit emerged in the 21st century now called Jeff Lindsay yellow it is Jeff as the group's only full time member I've been chatting to the man himself about the new album from out of nowhere. I began by asking Jeff how he comes up with those memorable melodies I'm always looking for new chord changes that make me go or love that bit just make She day and they go wow I never use that one before you know like f. Diminished b. Flat minor or something. I don't know I've never tried that it's probably a rebel but. I know I never know what I'm going to do and then the song starts to arrive tell us about the instrument you play on the album because you play almost everything on this album everything except the shaker and the Chambre in. It was Ok because you do just that you give somebody else a goal or likes to give Steve my engineer. He's a really good percussionist anyway so I think and him do it because and it least we'll get another credit. To. One of the new tracks celebrates sold out at Wembley Stadium 2 years ago Jeff says there was such a great response from the crowd he wanted to write a song about it. Great it was and the crowd fantastic the reaction now he's like 10 times what it ever was before Little got the phone switched on and they're all singing along to telephone lines really loud I mean you can hear them above us a Riyadh 820-0160.
