Nationalism is now driving British politics and we're in the most serious constitutional crisis since the 17th century those are the views of the former PM Gordon Brown who says no deal and therefore denying money to the European Union is the economic equivalent of a declaration of war. True or just more project fear trying to find out I've also been speaking to a lawyer who says that without a specific law passed by Westminster we might not leave the E.U. And the E.U. Might not kick us out quite a claim to have parent a few minutes time and looking at the papers here in the US with Paul Gallagher for me I and Lynn Sweet from the Chicago Sun Times Don't forget as well from 2 hour film phone it will be talking to some up talking about summer blockbusters What's your favorite blockbuster moment. Starting with this then the former Labor Prime Minister Gordon Brown has warned that a no deal breaks it could spell the end of the United Kingdom in an article written in The Observer Mr Brown said on the Boris Johnson the union of England Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland is sleepwalking into oblivion it comes after Mr Johnson travel to all 4 parts of the U.K. In his 1st few weeks in office saying he was a passionate believer in the power of the Union earlier I spoke to James Qusay political commentator and former political correspondent for The Independent I began by asking him if he was surprised that Gordon Brown had made such strong statements about the union I wasn't entirely surprised I mean that the Labor Party if you like of a vacuum at the moment in fact all of the the whole of the kind of. Movement like a bit of leadership and whatever that kind of vacuum you end up with somebody of court and brains stature thinking that he can fill that vacuum so when he you know appears on the front page of the major Sundays and talks about. You know the U.K. Sleepwalking the union the U.K. Union sleepwalking into oblivion you know it's and we are the U.K. Has been led by destructive populist national ideology it's not surprising that Gordon would do and you know he has a track record on doing this I think you know in 2014 you know he was seen as the savior doing probably much the same thing rushers. He wrote that article to me talking about the importance of the Union ahead of the Scottish referendum which which many believe played that pivotal role in that vote do you still think he has that type of leverage when it's almost 5 years on isn't it and does he still have that influence when it comes to bread. That's questionable I mean and 2014 I mean he definitely did have the I mean the Darling was running a campaign that was seen to be kind of on the rocks. The S.N.P. For the 1st time with the Scottish nationalists Where are you know rumored to be ahead in the polls and you know and for 2 years that look like this wasn't an issue and then all of a sudden you know the 24000 vote looked ridiculous Lee tight and Gordon Gordon Brown came in and almost a similar vacuum that we have at the moment took the role almost tried to steal back the Scottish Saltire and said you know being picked Patry autogas not necessarily being a nationalist and delivered you know fearfully robust which I think was you know like game changing intervention so if you like this time right and being on the margin be know of power for a long time you would think well probably he doesn't have the same leverage and it would be up to politicians who are maybe name may be needed at the center of power than Gordon is but at the same time you know he this is a figure of sums of storms stature in Scotland you know Scotland with his 5th time for a fairly long time. You know whether or not he got it right when he ran Scotland Well as you know the seniors Scottish Labor politician old or largely as chancellor and Prime Minister but you know Richard don't rule out the influence of Gordon Brown My own view is this is probably too late and he's not important enough anymore. He's described what with the current situation we're in is the most serious constitutional crisis since the 17th century and that we're it we're only a precariously United Kingdom How would you describe the current state of the Union Well I think it's precarious I mean for the if if I'm So I'm talking with i students how and I've always believed that the U.K. Was a fairly precarious and fragile so you know institution anyway you know from the from the 18th century you know the links with Scotland of were always pretty I mean Scotland and English if you like were brought together with a very large bright the Scottish Parliament was was pretend to be and so pure and to kind of cold storage because England came to the rescue of a Scottish economy that was very much you know in the doldrums and to bring about the union of the 2 parliaments you know bribery was paid so. And over the last 300 years you know there's been a huge effort to keep this fragile Union together now you could say that the same fragility I'm was arranged with with the unification of Ireland with with the split between Northern Ireland and so on island with the way that Britain has always run its kind of colonies and I don't mean the I mean to describe Scotland and Ireland and Wales as colonies but very much this is a this is a fragile Union and it doesn't take not much to break them apart so when Gordon Brown is talking about a constitutional crisis I don't think he's using hyperbole here he might be he might be stepping over the market saying this is the you know the largest constitutional crisis in the last 300 years but it's bloody close you know. Yeah I mean that no deal brags it has galvanized the push for independence in Scotland hasn't it when we get those opinion polls the recent one suggesting that people see that support for an independent scholar would certainly rise were no deal to happen there can you see Scotland going it someway. OK this is this is this is very much depending what's hot you're wearing if you're a Unite nationalist and you're looking for something that's a game changer to basically change the 5545 vote cards and 2014 then you're looking for somebody who makes a difference to that and that somebody is very much Boris Johnson and his dominant Cummings who appear to be. They appear to be telling you know the conservative party the Conservative government and to an end to an English conserved party if you are something like me who's probably you know has been defending the union for a long time you're equally looking at kind of game changing people but you're looking for maybe a silver lining underneath to say that's not important and you know to be honest for the last couple of years I've never thought that the independence arithmetic could change that much but if but if for instance you're looking at this from GLAAD from a Glasgow and Edinburgh and Aberdeen perspective and you're looking at you looking at the Labor Party going out of its way to almost signed is if it's an English Labor Party you've got you know you've got the shadow chancellor describing Westminster as the English Parliament Richard Heene English Parliament I mean that's just insanity nobody in their right mind he was he was a fragment unionist would never describe Westminster as the English Parliament and it was exactly what John McDonnell did and Gordon Brown was very critical of that was in a very quick incredibly critical and to be honest as a former Labor leader and prime minister he should because a call about because that was just and to be honest if the Labor Party are an irrelevance in Scotland or think that irrelevant to Scotland then to set an extent of course if John McDonogh was playing a card that brought them up there is trying to improve Labor's position to make sure that those people who were maybe still thinking of voting Labor in Scotland and maybe had a slight leaning towards independence that this would swing it for them but I don't think it looked like it just basically looks like the Labor Party and generally Corben were looking at some kind of pact with the S.N.P. Kind of in the run up to an autumn general election and would have the S.N.P. Want for them well they would want some form of guarantee of of. A 2nd referendum and that looks like Scotland there's nae you know if whether you're Tory or whether you have a labor skull and just looks like a sacrificial lamb and that is. So different from the 2014 argument that Gordon Brown was timing out when it was all about economics and whether or not Scotland would leave and whether or not Scotland would still be a member of the European Union and it was all to do with the economy and if you like how well Scotland would survive leaving the United Kingdom those arguments are turned up and it's going it's no Scottish identity and that really is much different from 2014 the promise he would have to give permission to allow Scotland to have a referendum that's leaner binding I mean that's not looking very likely is it. And it doesn't look particularly likely of the moment the deal that the deal that took place in 20122013 between gore between David Cameron and Alex Salmond was basically said look you know Scotland needs to have this vote and David Cameron agreed and effectively Westminster gave up by decree of sovereignty to make sure that the 2014 vote was binding. Whatever anybody thinks is going to of evolution whether or not devolution is a destination or a process or an evolution sovereignty in the U.K. Still remains with the Westminster Parliament Westminster Parliament are still in control of the unit you and I quite quietly still refer to as the United Kingdom so if a 2nd referendum was to take place and it was legally binding and relevant that meant that the outcome of that referendum would make would would be you know and to national treaty but you know that would have an international standing then Westminster would need to carry Boris Johnson who are or whoever was the prime minister would need to agree to that though at the moment we're not sure about what the opposition is John McDonald speaking as the church as the shadow chancellor was saying yes we would agree to that because the Scottish people would agree to that but there's nothing to so there's a feast on Nicholas dodge in holding a referendum with a Westminster permission and then and then saying look at the scale of the Scottish people's will and then that that in itself I think would be a potential game changer and I don't think any U.K. Prime minister if they'd looked at SCU the Scottish polling and thought that Scotland needed a 2nd referendum because of that because if you if you like the the influence on the power of the Scottish selector on themselves that they would never block it would be insanity to do that. Let's just say that Nicolas sturgeon gets what she wants she gets a 2nd referendum the serious random passes Scotland does become independent you then have a huge another huge can of worms that night open up the bank the quickest that's the quickest somebody of 4 years that I've ever had brought you. To think that you're going to give me a pretty regular 4 years at the very very least and getting back getting back into the E.U. Would not be an easy process for Scotland would it it wouldn't I mean it I think it depends and again it depends on the time perspective if we're looking at it from a 2030 even 2014 perspective when Scott went when the U.K. Was effectively the successor straight so even if Scotland left the United Kingdom would still stay as the successor state and the United Kingdom would still be a member of the of the European Union and therefore Scotland having voted to leave the European Union effectively Brussels told Edinburgh they would need to get to the back of the queue and you know legal international law lawyers knew that that was the case and in order if you like to play a high card to keep Scotland in place they said look if you do leave and the United Kingdom breaks up or at least part of the United Kingdom breaks the week you get to the end of the queue this time around Richard that's slightly different it means the United Kingdom as a state have voted to leave and then Scotland part of that state say that no no we wish to rejoin again that's a completely different argument from the last time around and if you like. All the all the arguments about take back control and all the arguments we've seen about backstops and hard borders and God knows what else that we've we've looked at Northern Ireland all of those equally apply to a border between you know choli and Benteke on the border would look like regard disregarding all of that and disregarding your 40 year fast track timetable and your summary if Scotland was to apply to rejoin the United. The European Union I don't think Europe would have as much difficulty as they had in 2014 and fight I think Brussels would have open arms and that some form of interim you know welcome back status would be fine for Scotland and it would not quite be as hard as you've got the picture you've painted what about the Irish question is well we were scared of the debate about the backstop you know and all that kind of thing but yes this inevitably when you talk about Scottish independence there are also then further debates about Irish unification can you can you see that happening that's all. I can and you know to to be honest it's that question which is driving the changes here for instance if we will if we're looking at I mean the backstop it is crucial the backstop is part of an international treaty that we agree to it's not assessed this is not at the whim of the Irish government or the U.K. Government or Brussels this is if you like the there's been a partial unification of violence already in the Good Friday Agreement Island functions like a United States and like a United Ireland in lots of ways although key parts of the way Island is governed is still governed by it remaining part of the United Kingdom Now let's say about that border was eroded not necessarily in a fool and a fool unified Island but it's eroded father an island became even more tightly bind together than it was at the moment that would have an inevitable inevitable effect on Scotland because if you like of Northern Ireland is being treated slightly differently or if Northern Ireland to go on its own way then Scotland would say I'm sorry as part of I can stay a constituent state of the United Kingdom we wish to either have the same started as Northern Ireland or we've or we've looked at what happened to Northern Ireland and we're not happy with another one of the United Kingdom ceases to exist and Scotland is looking for its own status and to be honest whilst we here the other constituents part of the United Kingdom is way. And we will there's never been big on independence at all but if you like over the last year or so those people who are independent curious the indie Q.T.S. Have risen heavily in the polls so let's just say what happens in Northern Ireland has a knock on effect on how Scotland sees its own position and that position and Scotland will have a knock on effect in Wales and then you get to the state where but coming back to what we were talking about at the beginning. But Gordon Brown is one of the it's not just what about Scotland He's what I do write me entirely United Kingdom and and as a politician who spent his entire year years and his entire time in government warning about 8 if you like the glue that holds the United Kingdom together that glue of the moment Richard is looking really weak deeds are more difficult certainly Boris Johnson says he still optimistic about a deal that would How likely is a deal do you think. But what Boris Johnson says and what Boris Johnson think subtly too different I'm not being unkind here but. He's not ideologically driven anyone to any one point. I feel to see the timetable Richard being being met I mean but the time parliament goes back 1st week of September unless it basically decides that it's not going to have. The 3 weeks out for the parliamentary conference conferences in late September early October unless it this idea is going to put its head together and try and deal with this I'm straight away then I don't really see how a deal can be put together and then we've got you know we've got the whole of this . Huge debate involving whether or not a prime minister can stay regardless of pressure on to cool or votes of no confidence or the involvement of the Queen or what's written down in terms of Britain's. You know in terms of the relationship that Parliament has with the queen whether or not the queen is merely the other is some form of nice fabric to kind of rubber stamp solutions that are already been made this is this is unchartered constitutional territory we've never really been here before and that that nice pact that was put together between the consensus of the Liberal Democrats to keep them together was done clearly you know not to robustly and nobody really knows what's going to happen and that because we don't know what's going to happen people are playing fast and loose with their own views of what they think is going to happen so whilst you've got Dominic Cummings say no deal will happen regardless any with any cost what does he mean the cost to the to the to the U.K. Electorates belief that the U.K. Has a a robust constitutional form or that will last through any government with any huge and I don't I don't I don't think I think this is this is crisis time and if the Conservative Party play fast and loose with constitutional matters then what's to stop the next government and the next government doing the same and at that point you know you ask yourself the U.K. Genuinely need some kind of democratic reboot or worse or maybe better we need a written constitution and all of that stuff in other words the rules are so weak the glue is so so small that this this all this is done is should you the need for a written constitution rather than anything else and I'm sorry if that sounds too technical but that's actually what we're looking at the moment we're looking at politicians and Parliament unsure of what the relationship between themselves and the government has and if we're in that situation. Really you know this is like somebody should be doing their homework James Kosik a political commentator and former political correspondent for The Independent speaking to me a little earlier about Gordon Brown's views on Briggs's and what it could mean for the future of the United Kingdom as a whole now despite the ongoing preparations for a no deal the prime minister Boris Johnson says there's bags of time for the E.U. To compromise but he's still adamant that the U.K. Will be out of the European Union by Halloween with or without a deal however a lawyer by the name of Rose slow believes that without a specific law approved by parliament the U.K. Might not be able to leave the E.U. And the E.U. Ma not be able to keep the U.K. Out when I spoke to her earlier on I began with Article 50 and what it actually means in terms of leaving the European Union. Well the article 50 process is that which has been laid down by the European Union in its treaties as setting out the way a member state can leave the E.U. And there are a number of sort of sub provisions in it and it specifies quite important date that a member state can only leave in accordance with a decision taken in a constitutionally compliant manna. So to. Translate that couldn't take a member state out of the E.U. In breach of the domestic Constitution it's got to be done at the member state level in a constitution compliant way and it says that the leaving state issues notice which you Kate it that was the article 15 notice and then after 2 years if if the steps are being completed then the E.U. Law simply ceases to apply to that member say they've effectively left unless which has happened in case case the you decide to extend that period that periods left their members. This leaving can negotiate with the E.U. And a withdrawal agreement so thankfully it certainly has to come down to a parliament passing a law saying that Article 50 can happen and that the United Kingdom can leave the European Union the has to be that parliamentary law we have all that has to be in the U.K.'s case because a constitutional principle of U.K. Law is that Parliament is you prefer and we had the Supreme Court look at this issue in the militarization and say yes it was parliament elected M.P.'s who brought us into the E.U. With the 1972 year paint Communities Act And so it can only be parliament and not a government or prime minister who takes us out if he uses that specific to the ukase constitution it has to be parliament that takes us out what would happen if as has been mooted Boris Johnson could suspend parliament to enable the brig's process to take place do you think. He can't do that as a matter of law the constitutional court has already the Supreme Court has already said that the government. Can't bring the country out of the United Kingdom it has to be by an Act of Parliament so any attempt for the government to do that wouldn't be effective in law they don't have the power. So what does this mean we are less likely you think 2 to be leaving on the 31st of October. I can't possibly predict the future but in the last as an act of parliament authorizing a no. Legally we won't be leaving the E.U. Or my interpretation of the Constitution and the E.U. Treaty is backs it will not take effect without another act of parliament authorizing it on the basis of a withdrawal agreement or with no deal at all have you had much support for what you've what you've come up with here I put it out into the ether I haven't seen what support it's got I know. There are lots of lawyers out there who have differing opinions on the matter absolutely but I suppose people like Gina Miller may be very very interested to hear what you have to say here in the way you've studied the law yes and that there have been also public campaigns that have gotten touched and it is a matter that should be litigated because at the end of the day my opinion is academic and based on my experience with constitutional law and to eat law and it is a matter for that ultimately has to be decided by the highest judicial body which is the Supreme Court can the European Union actually throw the United Kingdom out if if they decide that they've that they've had enough with everything because because it looks as if they they might have they might be getting to that stage. Again if we had our Constitutional Court confirmed my faeces that we need an act of parliament in order to leave the you in a constitutionally compliant manner the the whole premise of E.U. Law is that it shows deference to member states constitution it even is even specified in the article 50 provision that a member say can only leave if to do so in accordance with its Constitutional requirements so the E.U. Couldn't expel the U.K. If it was determined that without an at home and do so to leave the E.U. Would be unconstitutional none of the most severe sanctioning mechanisms expel a member state they they can impose sanctions but the E.U. Doesn't have the power to kick out a member state so it has to be the member states decision to leave and it has to be a constitutionally compliant one so therefore without the the provision of the law from the Westminster Parliament and without the E.U. Having the jurisdiction to actually throw the United Kingdom out of the European Union completely the the U.K. Could be left in a kind of state of limbo you think. Yes or would simply remain It's even argue both that the notice we've had would lapse it would it would cease to be of effect because it has to be interpreted as being made is being made affective by an act of parliament down the line and that search hasn't been a conditional notice in the conditions haven't been met the notice may lapse and we just continue to be any member state do you know how long that period of time is between Article 50 being served and the and it lapsing Now this never happened before it's legal territory so where do you see this going from here can you see the Supreme Court taking this on and looking ahead and potentially you know we face yet more legal challenges to Briggs I think that's any way this could be taken forward either there's an act of parliament that authorizes perhaps it or in some form or another be it no deal or or with the withdrawal agreement to or so the U.K. Becomes a sort of an E.C. State court paying economic community or parliament passes legislation saying they do not authorize a note which would hatefully stop the government in its tracks or it's litigated in this taken to the Supreme Court and the judges say no there needs to be a further act of parliament but my fear is if it's not let it get it before the 31st focused endeavor one presumes that the U.K. Has come crashing out of the E.U. As a matter of fact and law without a deal be quite hard to revisit it after the event it would be. It would be very bizarre legal situation for the U.K. To even then an analysis of the law 2 relays that is still in the state so perhaps there could be some sort of into a junction while we wait this matter to be resolved it's going to carry on for a long time isn't it potentially at least slowed a lawyer who thinks that without a specific law approved by parliament the U.K. Might not be able to leave the E.U. And the E.U. Might not be able to kick the U.K. Out interesting stuff up all night here on 5 Live it's 132 on digital B.B.C. Sound it's not street level this is B.B.C.

In fact yesterday that the increase in stop and search is going to hit a particular demographic what will happen is what happened in 2011 in fact a report by the College of policing themselves in 2017 said there was quote limited evidence that the stop and search powers actually reduced crime but by ministers going ahead with it we heard from the home secretary in the last year as pretty brutal as well about why they want to do this and it's of the backdrop to this is of course the the vast increase in knife crime. Attacks and the stabbing death 7 victims across the. Capital in particular this is the government's way of thinking to reduce that is the best way they think will reduce that policy clearly it's not for everyone and Labor of course calling it a recipe for unrest as well yeah very much so really echoing those calls about pointing back to the Boris Johnson's time as as mayor of London and looking at those statistics in the before what happened in the backdrop to those riots in in Tottenham's those going to be a huge amount of focus as to whether or not these new stop and search powers actually have the desired effect or are actually rather backward step. It gives rise doesn't it to sort of that the potential rumors that there could be a general election Jew in the autumn as well yeah very much and it's also emerged that a Prime Minister's right hand man Dominic Cummings in the papers every day these days he's ordered every policy announcement due for later in the autumn and winter to be brought forward to launch a September offensive ahead of a potential snap poll in the sentencing review team they've been instructed to start work immediately and report back to number 10 in the autumn just as the country may be going to the polls and of course it's all part of this why the picture of the prime minister trying to move is a domestic policy agenda beyond broke set so we can expect I think probably several more big dramatic policy announcements being announced in the coming weeks and then no doubt will be going to the polls again probably in the autumn now to get Barry as could be replaced by phone senses Apparently this is before you get on a train I guess tell me a bit more about it as ride the train build a hit tach a rail developing technology designed to ensure travelers are automatically charged the correct fare which recognises their smartphones at both ends of their journey the firm testing the system in Italy and believes it could be used on trains buses and trams here in the U.K. It says ticket could be obsolete once sensors are installed in their managing director Karen Boswell said the technology has the ability to transform public transport in every corner of the country from rural buses to city center train stations she went on to say the common travelling woes of Cusick ticket machines or trying to find the cheapest fare could be sold without even needing to reach for your pockets I'm sure that will be welcome news to people who've been baffled not only at her machines or not on a daily basis but trying to book tickets in advance and try to work out which is the cheapest way often meant switching trains not actually going on the most direct one so this sounds. Like fantastic technology a lot of people hopefully will be hoping that it's coming to the U.K. Rather soon a passage of groups themselves they said the introduction of smart ticketing where a ticket is held on a smartphone or plastic card a long overdue so and we should say we did actually speak to departure transport as well and they said that it made real progress on the issue itself announced plans to ensure all commuter areas offer a pays you go take it in structure that you can get in London. To the rest of the country in the next couple of years let's hope so certainly has been you can even download tickets to your mobile now can't you and then just to scan those little learned Dotty images that come with them that's right this is kind of an extension of that house but yeah exactly and you wouldn't even have to do that when you have to lift the phone out of your pocket this would just be a pass through the barrier in the door and the system would pick up exactly where you've got on and just take off the cheapest possible rail service for your journey Dame Vera Lynn has been speaking to the the big issue what is she had to say. Yaz reflecting on her life and career she's now a 102 now since you don't have any regrets at all of famously known as the force a sweetheart of falling for the British troops during the 2nd World War and she still says that the outset of her interview with the big issue that was important to this day to remember the price of our freedom and the sacrifices of our loved ones and she went on to say we can't change the past but of course we can learn from history and remember the important things the sacrifices our last ones made and the price of our freedom today and should say obviously as well as some of those famous songs that she's most remembered for She also founded multiple territories including help for forgotten allies which gave and still gives grants to the widows of Perm a soldier who fought in the Burma campaign during the 2nd World War she did to dip a toe into politics a little bit as well by saying an intruder She's very upset at the move to access free T.V. Licenses for all the people and added anything that helps all the people to keep in touch outside their own home was very important indeed and I should say it as you said could follow it up that big issue interfere in that big issue on sale across the U.K. From today Friday but it won't treat the full version anyone wanting to go to a G.P. For a routine appointment is having a rather longer wait the normal what's going on yeah that extraordinary really the average waiting time for a routine appointment with the G.P. Has reached more than 2 weeks for the 1st time as are according to a new survey this was a poll of U.K. Doctors conducted by Pulse magazine that's the publication for G.P.S. And it found that the average waiting time for patients is now almost 15 days spoke to a survey that 900 G.P.'s 22 percent said the wait for a routine appointment was more than 3 weeks while 6 percent said it was longer than 4 weeks is just extraordinary what a way that long to see a local doctor. Survey also found that over 30 percent responding G.P. Said their product is average appointment wait time was between $2.00 and $3.00 weeks with only 20 percent saying the average wait was less than a week and as Labor branded the findings as shocking but unsurprising they blame the figures on what they called years of Tory cuts and failing G.P. Numbers and the Department of Health and Social Care countered with its comment saying that the survey represents a small fraction of G.P.'s in the latest official N.H.S. Data shows 2 in 3 appointments happen within 7 days of being booked but we are determined to reduce G.P. Waiting times further have to say from my own personal experience with our family and friends it's more in line with this past survey than it is from the Department of Health vision of how long it takes to wait for a G.P. Appointment this is all down to staff reductions the thing. Partly down to staff reductions it's them there's been numbers of really flatlined in in recent years and a lot of people leaving the professionals at the Royal College of G.P.'s conference this year talking to various doctors and they are saying that just a lot of people just simply can't cope with the workload knowledge did numbers of people they see in in the course of a single day has just ramped up and up and up and in recent years many people are retiring early Many people just leaving the profession through burnout and they can't replace them at quite the same bright so consequently have this huge knock on effect around the country have it just taken simply longer longer to actually get an appointment in the 1st place rejoice though if you have a beard because you can now work for the R.A.F. Very much so for the 1st time in its 100 in year history there are E.F. Will allow ad men to grow beards they've revised their facial hair policy which comes into force this September serving members will be allowed to wear beds provided this is the key point provided they meet the high standards. Of appearance I presume that means nobody pays any a nice well trimmed David Beckham George Clooney esque number to qualify as barking really a progression from the R S current regulations which already allow I meant a crime a starship is only from the 1st of September well a bailout where full beard as well these policy regulations say any pits would need to be smart neatly trimmed and cover the whole July and the 4 started the new policy would help broaden the recruitment pool promote inclusive ity and help us retained our highly skilled personnel and join even more detail Richard the bids will not be able to exceed 10 inches in length and senior officers will decide what qualifies as acceptable and that's a start something isn't it because if you're in the R.A.F. Now a new fancied growing a bit because you always wanted one it's the sort of stipulation that can't be messy means you can't grow one while you're on duty you can have to take a couple of weeks off and then come back you have to do a Paxman spirit you have to go on holiday a come back and a tear in front of the cameras with a neatly trimmed beard ready made exactly this is a good excuse to have a holiday I suppose come back with that bit and you won't be sent home Paul Gallagher from the our newspaper speaking to me earlier about the stories making the front and indeed the middle pages of the paper this morning time to find out what's happening in Brazil now Sam Khouri is in South Paolo Hi there Sam I Richard I'm actually in. I actually OK and morning good morning again what's what's going on we would have another prison riot unfortunately in brazil yeah yeah prison massacre I think is you know I proof it's use and at least some is being used this is. At least the 2nd you know deadly riots of the year with thousands of prisoners have been killed in this is really grotesque stop we're talking behaving. And essentially this is the result Oh oh. A war which saw the end of 2006 the. Between Brazil's 2 biggest drug gang Come on of them you know the race come on from Rio de Janeiro and the man to come on the G. Company come out of the capsule from Sao Paolo and those 2 gangs they had a long standing truce. Throughout most of the ninety's throughout most of the 2000 and at the end of 2016 they decided to go to war to get off the P.C.C. The promoter of the Sao Paolo based gang consolidated territory. In Paraguayan provides one of the biggest drug trafficking routes in South America right off of that the 2 gangs went to war and that's how drug manifests in Brazil on a on a on on a street an organized crime level basically the prisons are a battleground for the drug trade and if you can control the prisons in you know what I've studied school safety. You suppose you've got to control the drug try there and where I am right now when I was in Mira. 62 prisoners were killed 58 were killed in the prison and another 4 were killed in transit whilst being transferred to another correctional facility. No exactly clear what happened there but it seems that they were strangled inside the vehicle by supposedly fellow prisoners of the sign gang and so what we're seeing here now it's a mirror mirror is a city of about 100000 people it's growing it was about 7 or 9000 people in the beginning of the seventy's than the federal government at the time because the way going through them as include the trends of his own eco highway from that he says the population exploded and then we saw another explosion of the population in recent years with the building of the bottom of the tree hydroelectric dam this construction of this huge the rule. You know thousands tens of thousands of workers to the city when that came like a huge increase in drug related crimes and as these 2 gangs going to war on a national scale basically the Amazon has become a huge is one of the most profound so profitable drug trafficking routes in Brazil right now and so these 2 things are essentially fighting over the trafficking routes of the Amazon River has for export to Europe and also for exposing to other cities in Brazil most likely most you know mostly easy the profitable cities in the south the richest cities in the south such as Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paolo But then of course as these you know very property drug trafficking routes have sprung up you've created a very vibrant local mall case as well which is where these gangs what these gangs are essentially funny thing and we've seen an increase of prison violence you know this year we had 56 prisoners were killed in the Amazonian prison him and now it's the composite Correctional Facility where 56 prisoners were killed in 2007 saying and yet the situation by all standards according to all of our at these is completely out of control in the prison Brazilian prison system right now why is it that the authorities can do anything to reduce the violence. Well the thing is. The violence is accepted to a certain extent by a large portion of the population Richard a lot of people consider the fact that these people are criminals that they are in prison then you know why should I pay my taxes to support these criminals if they want to kill each other inside of the prison system then that's up to them as long as they don't mess with me or my family that's a very you know Coleman opinion here in Brazil there's a phrase that we have in Brazil buns you bore me binds you to more which means a good criminal is a dead criminal you know the latest opinion polls suggest something like about 50 percent of the population agree with that statement right now we have a president Jaya both tomorrow what you swept to power on a very like you know hard line law and order platform where. You know he promised great great great a punishment for prisoners greater punishment for crimes especially serious try crimes like drug trafficking. Except for so what we find is that there's a real lack of political will to address this problem in Brazil and that's partly because. A lot will postpone portion of the population they agree you know that they don't bullshit about prisoners killing each other you know even if it comes to these grotesque scenes like beheadings I mean the situation we had in outs and they were just now we had prisoners videos show on cell phones prisoners playing football with severed head the many groups Heskey stuff. But what we see in Brazil is basically essentially the the population is in favor of mass incarceration which creates these hideous conditions inside the overcrowding the politicians know that and essentially they just suffering the way and that they you know this is been going on since the you know since you know see it since the late eighty's during the big nineties when mass incarceration really picked up inside. And now what we're seeing is the results of bass and so like I say essentially with the organized criminals street gangs if you can control the prisons you can basically control the flow of drugs on the outside and that's why these prisons have become such a batch for the control of drugs in Brazil today in Brazil is the country which is you know most of the Cockayne The end up in Europe comes through Brazil falls majority deforestation has also gone up very steeply in Brazil it's not by 67 percent apparently yes yep that's that was just in July that was just in July we don't have an official figure for how yet the how much the forestation has risen in 2019 yet those results will come out in November but essentially what we're seeing is a great increase in deforestation and. Most professionals believe that this year will be the worst year on record for at least the last 10 years is not going to compare to the worst record. In the last 20 years for example that was 2004 with something like 200-7000 square kilometers of forest were created at the end of this year if we have a really bad year perigee more like something like 12 but essentially deforestation in Brazil has been steadily increasing since 2012 and we've seen a spike we've seen a specific spike since the beginning of this year when the president Jaya bo's'n R.-O. Took over and I was a president he's very much in favor of developing the Amazon you know giving. You know raunch of the farm was great access and control to the forest their land we have in Brazil a lot we stipulate if you have an Amazon property you must maintain at least 80 percent of that property. Forested and you can only fall on 20 percent of that but then of course you know the environmentalist aspect the environment. This opinion is you know we must maintain the forest at all costs because you know it's a crucial part to slowing down of global warming busy and climate change then of course many of the farmers are many of the people living in the Amazon and they say you have a like you know why should we keep off forests you know why should we keep our lands forested when Europe you know I should say save the forest it completely you know why should we be the ones to suffer from this lack of developments when the rich and Asians. There's a save the forest it's so there is this real and the president he he really takes advantage of. This will of certain sectors of the the Amazonian population to the Far East and say yeah it's you know it's all kind of the territories to mining it's open up territories for Korea for farming this is what you know really makes the economy move and you know it's age it's a point of view that really resonates with so many many people here in the Amazon and the RAO continues some Kawhi in Brazil thanks so much before giving us all the lowdown on what's going on there at the moment let's get the lowdown from Chicago Lynn Sweet from the Chicago Sun Times some of that lent what Hello how are you I'm very well thanks for well thanks for speaking to us a queen of been performing in Chicago right so this is quite a shift from this very weighty matters that I heard you talking about in Brazil isn't Senate saving the forest I am here to tell you that in Chicago over the weekend queen with the original drummer and guitarist had a sold out concert people loved and even without Eddie Freddie Mercury who was the front man who everybody knows about of course since the movie Bohemian Rhapsody even without him they gave from what our review says wish I had been their ace bashing performance what sort of things that they sing do with it when it's going to the greatest hits I know they did know him in Rhapsody and I wasn't there I know that that was there in the story. I think that their hits are an integral part of their program you know Chicago is such a big city if it gets these it has a huge venue or is that I put that center for them to play their shows the staying power you know I think it also helps that Bohemian Rhapsody was such a popular movie now just as sad when I did this segment last week I was actually. At an outdoor use a festival in Chicago and outdoor venue where I was listening to Ringo Starr and the Beach Boys also playing in Chicago tonight as we speak is the rock band Chicago which is another fear that a ripple rock and roll group from the United States it's a fantastic musical in bed should thank you very much indeed Lynn Sweet from the Chicago Sun Times the couple of stories about what's making the news ahead this morning don't forget coming up after 2 it's all things sum up blockbuster What's your favorite summer blockbuster my well we're talking about all that sort of stuff getting a few perhaps the machines that sir try to get some of those out in our film phone in here one up on.
