This is a full night of love on Dawson added by coming up in this hour in a moment to find out what's been going on at Yarl's Wood immigration removal center in bed French with regards to detainees there in the home office his response indeed also bring you an update as to what happened in New York when a helicopter crashed into the East River and one of the week's news from Brazil then to remember it in hours time will open up the phone lines for our Monday morning gramophone and this morning we're asking you about the words that you have looked up in the dictionary of recent times was the last word that you looked up in the tree and why did you look it up was. The number to call at that time is it 59 or 9693 kind of calls text me from now on 8558 or even up will not at b.b.c. Dog cage Georgie Frost who is on air who Charlie Wolfenstein a few moments ago said it was all that was a word that she looked up at the tree as recently as today believe it or not. So but then start this morning hearing about yours would immigration remove. Who center in Bedford it's essentially a detention center for foreign women and families awaiting deportation from Britain for several weeks now it's believed dozens of women there have been on hunger strike in protest of what they call inhumane conditions and now they're now being sent official letters threatening them with accelerated deportation if they continue with their protests in the next few minutes you have one woman who along with her mother came within minutes of being deported to Botswana last weekend the pair actually both sat on the plane before the government stepped in at the last moment the control made the Commons last week when the shadow home secretary Diane Abbott who recently visited Yarl's Wood raised in urgent question the timing of all of this it coincided with a hunger strike by some of the detainees who were protesting at what they describe as the inhumane conditions that but in response to my repeated inquiries the authorities at the detention center the home office so g 4 s. Said categorically that there was no hunger strike now saying that we were misled is that it is true where that newspaper reports show a letter that has been sent to these women by the Home Office the letters reproduced in some media outlets it's a sign I was left on Home Office had a paper it begins by stating that open quotes as you are currently refusing food and fluids close quotes this may lead to your case being accelerated this sounds to some of us on this side of the house like punitive deportations for women who have that to go on hunger strike Furthermore the weekend I was contacted by lawyers and others attempted to prevent that importation of a young woman and her mother. The shadows actually don't ever there as I mentioned last weekend the Immigration Minister Caroline notes stepped in to stop the deportation of 27 year old Pelosi Garri who came to the u.k. From Botswana when she was 13 years old and her mother Florence we'll hear more about their story from a fellow in a few minutes here's what misnomer had to say in response to Diane Abbott's question the dignity and welfare of all individuals detained is of utmost importance and any decision to detain is made on a case by case basis taking into account individual circumstances but let me be clear Home Office officials work with any individual with no right to be in the u.k. Both detained including those at Yarl's Wood and in the community to assist with their return at any time if they decide to leave the u.k. 95 percent of people without the right to be here are managed in the community and most people detained under immigration House spent any very short periods in detention Caroline dress the ongoing hunger strike the provision of 24 hour 7 day a week health care in all immigration removal centers ensures that detainees have ready access to medical professionals and levels of primary care in line with individuals in the community any detainees who choose to refuse food or fluid including the reducing number of residents at Yarl's Wood who are currently refusing food are closely monitored by on site health care professionals home office staff will also ensure that detainees are informed about how their actions may impact their health but also make clear that we will continue to seek to progress the case well campaign groups have died so far vive that at least one woman was default suggestion aged Nairobi in Kenya under this accelerated deportation and added that she was not fit to travel they also claim that 3 other women a missing which is their description of the process between the detention center and actually being deported in the last couple of hours I've been speaking to God. Who is currently in yards would and Reverend Ashley Cooper minister the 1st has a stellar 3 c. The labor m.p. For Walthamstow one of a number of politicians raising concerns over the gentian center I've been very concerned as of a number of M.P.'s about the ultimate and its very existence some is now we know that 75 percent of the women who are incarcerated in Young's work have experienced rape or sexual talk so the only thing here that we don't lock those people up when they come to the u.k. When we know that also the vast majority of the motherland left out for there is a reason to hold them and detain them in this way often for unspecified amount of time it's deeply worrying I think the other thing for us is weak it's very difficult to get information out about what's going on in elsewhere this very little open investigation is scrutiny and my colleague the shadow home secretary Diane Abbott has struggled to be able to get in there to visit it took a year to be able to visit finally So we simply don't know what's happening and how we're treating these women on our own shores and why is there why why do you think it's surge of goods get information from inside jobs would well because I don't think it's justifiable there are ways that we can manage our immigration system better we know that community solutions are not only cheaper but the most humane and will take the fight it's a better way street people who are concerned I have real worries that the government recognises that yells What is untenable but rather than do the right thing and end this on the to detect attention they continue to go with it you know it's one thing for g 4 s. To not want people to know there's a hunger strike down on to yours will but one of the home office tried to cover that up well it's more than that but we're very worried about is Home Office guidance says that women who are protesting their experiences and knowledge would find that they are deported more quickly so they're being punished for speaking up has actually been. Having said that the Home Office did step in did they not I think last weekend when. One of the detainees was being deported they stepped in and stopped the deportation so the Home Office is uncomfortable with that line of approach to talk the whole thing is a mess and that's why many of us are calling for you also to be closed down and a better cheaper more humane system to be part of our immigration service I've had the honor and privilege to work with women for Refugee Women and hear from them I'm black women have been insulted elsewhere and frankly it makes me ashamed the question treat victims of rape and sexual violence simple in this way we understand that not everybody who applies for a final in the u.k. May be granted it but there is a simply a better way for Britain to manage this so that we're not creating these women in the what what will you be doing practically intangibly is one thing to call for the closure of yours would be in terms of now in the immediate future what can you do even as an m.p. Oh we're hearing some very worrying stories again about people being deported people who are too well possibly people who. Then being left out again without proper health care we need much more independence Kristie of what's going on elsewhere So already this week in Parliament we had an urgent and likely Christmas were trying to tirelessly for a pillow and her mom to make sure that that cases were heard on the merits brought them because they were protesting I think there has to be a review completely of the entire immigration system and how we use detention because it's clearly not working when t. Said to the women here in the us would all then let out again it's clearly the detention is the right way to manage their place in our immigration system folks and I'm pleased over here we've been calling the us with because we've also been called the great great people happen for some crazy m.p. Thank you appreciate that thank you so with us still is a Pen load Garri who's in Yahoo detention center as we sneak a pen I what I know about. So you read you case he did in the bridge is secondary school before volunteering and charge he works and you're now a freelance photographer How did you end up The yours would but my mom and I were actually headed out to report and immigration. Kind of. Area where you attending commissions really for what they set for people is that you go and report and make it so to to keep a close eye on us and she and we were very not to touch that point but we were told that. The. Applications that both my mom and I had pertained. Less recently had been refused to which was a big shock really because as we understand procedure to be is that if any any documents are being refused they have to. Respond by sending. A letter to your solicitor and to yourself to give you time to prepare and then. Take it on from that point on so for us to to then kind of been brought to detention at that point everything was sort of a big shock really how do you begin in Britain is that so on. I've been embraced now for 14 years this year and I mean all that so I'm you know aware of it your papers were not in order. That I know I have photo about 18 I was unaware of what was going on because my mother always taking care of everything and I really as a child it's something that you never really have to think about the have to worry about but I. Spend kind of started applying for university and it's at that point to realise actually there's a lot more paperwork and the stuff I have to fill out and then. You know what we find ourselves in this situation really is a sad how you came to the authorities attention for university. If you could describe it what's it like in yours would. You also to. It's a very difficult place to be it's. Ever It's not the place I would wish anyone to come to and being taken away from all the millions surrounding some friends and family. Is really difficult because when you get a you know you have your smartphone taken away from you and. It's just the only so much you can do when you're ahead and in the time of being. A fiction to so many people in the end of shad best stories with me and the struggles they've had to face while being here and it's heartbreaking it's very difficult to kind of carry on and. I just sort of difficulty really is. Of course is described as a detention center and to certain extent that is a euphemism is it best to describe as a prison when you 1st come in it really does feel like you whine prison and and the worst part of about the tension is that actually with the prison at least when you when you're in prison you know how long you're going to be in prison for but in detention it's just it's unknown. Do you have any idea about what your what the fight you. Out of its stock and I know that. I know that our m.p. Steps in and really helped us through getting to process and it's now down to us to making sure that this test really takes to take the step further and making sure that we are. Kind of spoken for and will be our league illegally represented really in the eye and being that for us. On how close were you to being deported. You know I I was I was stuck in the van that that was. Taking us from Yahoo to Heathrow and I watched the cabin crew get on I watched the pilot on and soon as I saw the pilot so to dissipate I thought. Of only a few meters away from from the airplane really where were you being deported to. So we would be we would destination it was the sauna which is the country I was in but the airline we were going to be put on. The genny Would that was the if you and I and I'm so we were going to be flying out to. Think about it and then. Getting another slice out of Atlanta and what happened was. Deported what saved. I. And for 30 lucky to have been in a sing amazing support system around me I just before they had taken our mobile phones away from us I just done a small number I paid I got in touch with one of my friends are the Alan Alan Jones who just really stepped in and they got in touch with me. And I know that they are the ones who really kind of how and got in touch with whoever they got and such was and into helping to hold the quotation. Reverend Ashley keeper is one of those He's been part of your support network is intense near the moment as we speak to him and your appellate minister Reverend Cooper How difficult has it been for you to highlight a Pelosi as state and state House and the difficulties you face and. Yes we know it's one mind concert but I have to say was in the country and Methodist Church in the sense we know the palace for a long time. In the last about 10 years of college and part of our story and our journey. And she's grateful about who she is and we know the Pelosi story and we've lived with her along side the issues journey through that over the last year Isabel is never hidden her story for us and she's been active in the last black churches been involved in our use were involved in our children's was the human species wanted to give back to this community this giving to really have the years. Then to say I treat you like this is the stage is everything for us to watch and such a step that I want to because making sure that she has justice at this moment was really important for us each a to see her being treated like this but you know what the system is not the immigration system here it's not pleasant smile pleasant I'm not suggesting it is otherwise but this is what you would have expected those into or is this more than you expected and. I think retreated in the way they were treated as a teller and her mum did everything that was asked of them they appeared where they need to appear when they needed to appear that they were doing as they were told and to be then taken without any any any question without any notice to Yul's word we don't treat people like that and then to be trees in the way they were for meals were to be taken at the weekend when they couldn't contact an illegal support to be taken quickly to be taken to be deported or have that any opportunity to contact respect anyone we shouldn't treat people like that would you know about the conditions that she's being held in it's been difficult to get that information. So we're all good and I want to tell I was told her friends of ours that in contact was a friend so we we know the children side of the palace says that with us and of course all the stories of come out and we've seen formal in the press every recent days and of course people germs on hunger strikes and the reason Raja Peller. For normal individuals don't go on hunger strike isn't nothing to protest about Pether So you were part of this hunger strike that we've heard about. Could you describe how did it happen how did it become a reality. I think what it was I was often after was a few weeks of being here and having conversations with you many different people airing the stories that they have to share and actually have a. Kind of recurring theme be so I actually. Know that actually a lot of people are trickling and want to want to be had but how. We can we also thought that down and so if we write down the lack that points out exactly what we want. Under the rug and. Ignoring actually to face space issues that that we will do whatever it takes to make sure that the cases and off the market and make sure that they how they speak to him they should all be ready and what was in that letter. We we just mention. Issues like the amount of time that people are kept in detention. There is no time that people just don't know how long they they are going to be in detention by some people that they knock off 28 days everything is received and. It's difficult to. Offer any they still be impaired she will know to what happens next and we see that there's a lot of people who have been trafficking and we like to use all the victims of the pride hard hard experiences all in here and we don't expect to be in places like. We have been chasing the only point the only country in Europe. Indefinite Detention Yeah yeah. We have been chasing the home office for a statement and it should be moved last 2 or 3 minutes we've received this is. Detention and remove who are essential parts of the face of immigration controls its voice who these are carried out with dignity and respect so we take the welfare of those in our immigration removal centers and under escort very seriously we only reach those with no legal right to remain in the Including foreign national offenders and failed asylum seekers. Yeah I just respond to that question around definitely. None of us would say that detention not important at all I live racism is a really important question I think a power want to challenge and we would want to challenge and have been harmful to the word dignity in that statement I don't think my must again when that's bundled into a van with no warning no opportunity to get that things together no opportunity to say goodbye to anyone or draw together unto a vine taken and say after all in fact the Home Office goes on. A little further in the statement saying the dignity and welfare of all those in our care is of the most important we will accept nothing but the highest standards from companies employed to manage the detention estate we operate a comprehensive complaint system if the Chinese feel that they have not been treated in accordance with our standards any decision to maintain detention is made on a case by case basis but the detainees welfare remains of the utmost importance we take our responsibilities towards detainees health and welfare seriously. But when you've got significant numbers of employees and it's not just wanted significant number of employees questioning this process in our nation surely we would want to question that statement. Probably would you question the same. Yes I think the test just to back what I actually asked said and I think just the way people are treated upon getting saved for the country of. Getting deported is is talk so far from not. And and that definitely needs to be to be looked at again. But yes. I'm just shocked by the actually. I am of the strike the aim of the hunger strike really is it's just that the Home Office can can you just caught what we've offered for them. And to just create a really. Good to treat people like myself and many of the compassion Renay because. The Home Office we feel don't treat us like people individually but instead treat us as pieces of paper and make them not to make one think that the numbers that we just need to carry on the ones that deport the class we need to get to the next bus and get them out of the country how many how many women are taking part in the strike time we had the next $120.00 and we still have people take pot taking in the hunger strike as we speak as we speak to you are you soon on this road I only have a one meal a day just because I need to keep my energy high and keep fighting but there are people who have to budget not eating all together and they're just. Taken includes the magic that's correct you had to water and nuts about as far as they got 3. It's really I told her really how's your mom. My mom's a very strong woman she. Pays since I take the house she's just. Not anything but we were holding each other up and we we continued to encourage each other right through the heart of the country is that so many other people he won so understand offer to a she then we understand that situation and we just continue to get a courage each other where we can. Right through the process Reverend Cooper if you were able to send a message to the home secretary and a message for Apollo's plight in particular. Generally for the plight of those women would but would have. I think I want to say that being really honest we recognize the immigration system as it did difficult integration is a difficult thing for stuff we recognize that and difficult decisions have to be made we recognize I'm not naive about that but having lived alongside tell stories become human not just to test. The human story is one somebody hears again and I consume more than half the life the human story is someone who's been invested in by this country in their education the story of someone who's given back to this country in lots of ways and served and loves it still has 100 miles to culture is British How can we just the Feigley send her away I think this is the statistic this is just reality each story is a human story and let's treat each person with human will and dignity. Reverend Ashley Cooper there we also heard from Palo Garri and Stella Creasy the labor m.p.

This is b.b.c. 5 live up all night with dogs and the by at least 2 people have been killed and there's a least one survivor after a helicopter crashed into the East River of New York City divers are still searching the water. Speak to somebody who's at the scene as I understand it Alex Overman who's this instant director of news and programming for the radio station w c b s 880 in New York tell us what you've seen or heard about this crash. Well it was around 7 in the evening local time when this helicopter reported engine trouble over the radio and then went down in the East River which separates Manhattan from Brooklyn and Queens it is a notoriously unpredictable current in the East River and very quickly that wreckage was carried about 30 or 40 blocks downtown one man was rescued witnesses saw him floating on yellow inflatables in the river and fortunately a tugboat was passing by at the time and managed to pull him in bring him onto shore I saw him with my own eyes being taken once he got on shore down a flight of stairs here on to the city street we had a towel after around himself he was clearly ice cold and and shaken out but he was walking under his own power and managed to get into the ambulance where medical technicians looked after him he is the one survivor that we know of 2 other people died according to a spokesman for the mayor of New York and at last check there was an active search for at least 3 other people in the ice cold water of these river would we know about the helicopter will kind of business does this helicopter do read anything about the people on board. We don't have many details confirmed but we know that it was a company out of New Jersey we believe that it was a tourist or charter flight of some sort we know that this kind of helicopter has space for one pilot and 5 passengers and we believe according to officials here that there were 6 people on board we don't know exactly where they were from or where they were going but we believe it was a tourist or a charter flight Alec's or no thank you very much Alex Overman Daisy This is Sundar it's of news and programming for the right ascension w c b s. One eyewitness Ben Sewell what happened. 5 Live so walking along the east and promenade right across shores park we saw the helicopter hit the water with the chopper chopper still moving and it. Quickly Somers tilted on its side and kind of ended up on the side I did not sure if any part of it came off well I know it was still operating had emerged and then gone belly up almost and a person came. From with it and it was on top of it and started waving their arms and at this point you know the attention of everybody in the park who who they caught and then minutes later 1st responding but I have presumed to be a close car and my people can camp to meet the helicopter in the water so I know the one person who had been waving once there was a reason I think water 2 more boats there was able to be taken from the top of the helicopter onto one of the respondent as for anybody else I could not see as one witness to the crash in the East River of New York in the last 3 or 4 hours the other breaking news tonight is that the comedian sick and dog has died at the age of 90 no doubt they'll be many tributes to one of the real veterans of comedy in this country should be his. Fellow comedians and so on but I'd like you to be if you don't mind 5 of 5 or even up one night b.b.c. Don't do it you can it's pretty conducted should be tonight if you can remember Tell me what is best but just tell me what he meant how important this comedian was . On his head to South Korea to find I was coming up in the Winter Paralympics j.j. Chalmers is impure on Chang for 5 Live and j.j. What kind of a daisy going to be. Well we're not looking at a repeat of yesterday the day before because they are playing skiers who've already want to Paralympics g.b. 3 medals so far and championships are getting a rest day and today is the turn of the Paris snowboarders to bring us the best of the action and we've got yes a pretty decent medal chances not to. Those. So we have 3 power snowboarders for Paralympics g.b. This is the 1st time the Paralympics g.b. Will be represented in Paris snowboard it was 1st introduced in Sochi 4 years ago and have a legacy this is the 1st time we've got athletes that. Start from the top 10 more who. Has a bronze medal to his name of the World Championships last year he competes in the upper limb category so he effectively has a significant nerve damage in one of his arms and so he rides with it in a sling inside his jacket so it looks like he has you know he has only one arm but actually is there but he's certainly a very good metal chance having had success at the World Championships James Barnes Miller also competes in the same category and he was born with his right hand and he's a bit of a real sort of surfer dude skateboard type and again 4th place at the World Championships last year and relatively new to to snowboarding so again. You know we could expect something from him and finally Olympic now and pick is an Army veteran who was wounded in Afghanistan when he stepped on an improvised explosive device he elected to have his leg amputated a year and a half later after living in pain and agony a decision which he says was well the best decision of his life and his ultimate lead and here we go a silver and a World Championships last year he carried out Paralympics g.b. Flag at the opening ceremony he competes obviously in the lower limb category and as I say this event today is the snowboard cross it's all the predictable because the individuals will be racing one against the other so you know you don't know what your opponent's going to do and of course they're going down a pretty wild course so it's certainly going to be want to keep an eye on them to do them when you say PAOs know who they have how would you describe how how do you get through the cool Well this is the thing I think of all the sports this is the one which to the to the naked eye loops of the most like an evil body competition because so for. For example you wears a prosthetic leg and because you're wearing obviously salad. And the likes to look at you cannot see is disability in the slightest and as I said for Ben More yes appears to have one of these competing but obviously that doesn't affect the balance significantly but again to the naked eye certainly going the speed they're going you can't necessarily see it it could be 2 different classes the banks will come later in the week and that's more of a traditional get down the hill fastest whereas I say this is the cross today whilst the. Fastest qualifying run they will then be seated and then they will go head to head and it will be a knockout competition to the final which will be well later this afternoon or early. Later in the morning u.k. Time don't worry we're never charges will catch up with. Jobs the. Cross to Brazil now to be exact. Is there to bring us the week's news from the sea 1st of all. Stormed a nightclub in Northeast resilin killing 14 people well that was actually in January. By what happened yesterday in fact in fact Friday night gunman killed another 7 people in the same c.c. This is in the northeast of Brazil beautiful beaches Dulce and it's a growing tourist destination it's been a tourist destination inside Brazil quite some time now but it's growing internationally and has direct flights now from Europe you know if you read a lot of the kind of broadsheet newspapers and travel guides this year particularly you probably will if you look hard enough you going to see the beaches or see the states where for 2 days recedes Ewing's is just one who quad you can see these featuring especially on the off the beaten off the beaten track want to travel guides but yeah I mean there's just an absolute explosion over. I didn't stare at the moment as really this contrast between this kind of quiet he did. Tourist destination combine just like extreme violence to us and this is mainly to do just with the state strategic position in terms of the drug trade it is the closest point of Brazil from Europe that you know from the top of c. States you can cross to Europe in about 5 hours making it the shortest crossing and it's making it very very sought after by the Internet in the international drug trade and of course where we see. All across the world usually when we see an explosion in international drug trade along there we usually see violence along those same groups between local factions looking to take control of the international routes the very lucrative routes always interests in confuses me the . South American countries and Central American countries don't seem to learn from each other when it comes to fighting you know drugs epidemics which are being spurred on by. Illegal what well criminality because we had the problem in Colombia move from Colombia to I think Bolivia initially and then it went to Mexico yeah you know it's in Brazil and absolutely I don't understand where perhaps those countries don't have those countries who want let's just legalize it they'll kill it straight away it will kill the criminality Well I presume it's not as easy as that but it is where the law is there isn't some real serious dynamic thinking when it come well this well that's that's a really that's really the most interesting question of all it's also this and say I mean basically there is a huge amount of support especially among certain sexes. In South America for legalization of drugs we saw it was in 2016 I believe we saw politicians more openly. All right surprisingly as opposed to kind of you know kind of as opposed to you know in it when politicians we saw in Mexico I believe it was Colombia the president of Colombia. Or so per car remember the 4th nation offhand but there was a Pac So they got together and they even put out a report saying you know look we are in favor of perhaps legalization within the country within our own countries and you know. Because of the of the absolute carnage that this drug war which is essentially fueled by European and North American consumption you know causes in our in our streets interestingly enough Brazil what was not part of those countries. And we did not form part of that pact and that's the thing you know very much like you said the driver who will move from Colombia and then he went to Mexico and you know and now it's in Brazil and it's been in Brazil for a while but it's really hotting up here right now and also I mean I've spoken to members of the federal police here in Brazil they're kind of like Brazil's f.b.i. And they say harsh jokingly but half seriously it's quite frankly that yes we are worried that Brazil was going to become the next Mexico basically and that's it all over of course you have to remember as well there is international pressure from the drugs and enforcement officers to keep from the United States not for these countries not to legalize drugs and that's a big that Stephanie a big big part of this debate also you have to remember that a lot of the local populations are quite conservative especially in Brazil I mean even if you look at you know like the use of marijuana for example library ational use of marijuana more than 60 percent of the population of Brazil against that also according to the latest and I suppose that have been so you can you know it's funny I go to as a reporter I go to a lot of. Quiet you could say left wing places to meet contact. And so talks of people involved of social movements Stroh's excess. Occupations land occupations to do stories you know this is a big you know there's a definite big story in Sao Paolo right now of homelessness and the 1000 it's a question and I speak to these people and you know that's totally in favor of gay rights that's mostly in favor of you know political rights for the working class of course they believe that you know unused land should be all part of a social use but you know if you speak to them about you know marijuana for example they're often very very much against it so it's it's an interesting dynamic in some sort of you know the drugs or the drugs dynamic in Brazil and who's in favor of legalization and who's not and how that affects the the overall to bite so many of the dog who. His voice. Yes So this is really quite an incredible story I mean they said dogs are matters best friend right well this really has to be the. Most of the biggest example of this I've ever seen in my I have ever read about so there was a homeless man in a small city about 300 kilometers from Sao Paolo who was stabbed to death in a fight believed with another man his dog came with him in the fall of the ambulance to the hospital so the man and the homeless man unfortunately he died in the hospice so. Now 4 months later the dog is still outside waiting for the nurses and doctors of the hostess who 1st noticed this and a you know they they saw it was extremely sad they cood a rescue same to take the dog away you know it's a savings of a dog basically the dog managed to escape and I ran 3 kilometers across town and also his days outside of the hospice on basically the soft kind of basically excepted this and I feed him they give him water excess and it's just it's it's a really sad story but it was. Perhaps I could say the the biggest example the most the most potent example of the old saying oh he's a man's best friend I have a say and this story really also highlights the plight of the homeless in Brazil here in Sao Paolo the biggest city in the country we had like you know at least 20000 homeless people living on the streets they say housing deficit of 6000000 within the country you know and these are just estimates so it's probably that you know by its nature it's probably higher and you know a lot of these homeless people you see them on the streets with their dogs and it's actually one of the reasons that's why most people within South hollow often prefer to stay on the street some signs as crazy as that sounds then go to homeless shelters because they're not allowed to take their dogs with them to the in the shelters and that's that's been quoted to me and in you know many other Brazilian newspapers in in stories about homelessness in Sao Paolo as one of the key reasons that the homelessness persists. And he's so visible on the streets is because the homeless people are not allowed to take their dogs to the suits for the homeless shelters you know the dog in the street office protection excess and it's a companionship so yeah it's it's a really it's a really is a really big issue here in Brazil homelessness and you're saying the Brazil is the . Political trends for winter Yeah yeah yeah it's really quite It's really quite is a bizarre concepts in many ways you know let's just break this down very quickly Brazil has 35 active parties altogether you know about it or so about you have the top 3 which is the Workers' Party the social democracy policy and the Democratic Movement party they account for together for. Somewhere between about 40 percent of the seats in Congress this $518.00 Congressman dollars So basically what we have. Right now and the 7th is a political transfer window where Congressman can change parties not how it works is the more the more congressman he has the more money it gets for his political campaigns and the the more t.v. Time it gets a noun is elections later this year so what we've seen so far is a transfer of Congressman we've seen a congressman already going to the the small party of it's called the The social lives he party but don't be fooled by the name and you know they've they've gone to this party basically because of the candidate which will be running for this party so it's a it's it works both ways basically as you will have candidates wanting to go to strong parties and you also have a strong party's one seems he's charismatic candidates and that's what we're seeing so far now running 2nd in the polls for this election is that. Congressman. Has been described as somewhere between the Brazilian don't want Trump and and also the Philippines hold real detail and what we've seen is straight away 8 congressman going to his party because they believe he's going to be a strong candidate 7 out of these 8 congressmen have backgrounds in law enforcement 3 of them actually have their eyes or Delgado which is basically the highest ranking of Brazil spitter a Federal Police Brazils f.b.i. But is expected to hostile very much towards the end of this month when we're going to see a lot of backroom deals being made and yet it's going to be very exciting to see who goes to what party and which candidates come out strongest So this because like I say whichever party has the most congressman will have the most funding for and will have the most t.v. Advertising time which means a lot in Brazilian elections. Carry the I'm going to bring you some more reaction or some. Action So the news the sad news that 2nd dog the comedian has died at the age of 90 can 2 each should be all checks to me indeed saying Ken Dog was my hero remember my father telling me as a 5 year old in 1959 that he was famous and had been on t.v. What a great man and Teddy Gaines ratios his favorite canned dog is a self assessment income tax I started that well this is one of his great sheens. I. Agree. That it is a fact. That I have written. Some possibly can dogs most well known song there and the irony is not lost on us happiness even though it's a sad day should a once in us remember in this way always spread happiness were everywhere did he with his report seize let's pray to the Roger to be did and the door said Andy we dragged you out of your room I suppose your safety net saw your comfort zone to talk about Ken dog but your instant reaction. Well it's it's really sudden it's it's it's kind of surprisingly even oil can was when one hears of the huge 8 x. To a little bit of a shock because he was still in line shows and touring the country but until fairly recently I mean it's been a little over the last few weeks. He's been he's been a kind of a relentless One man like that in the machine 60 years now of 'd you know all seems to me to quite recently anyone show me sure.

And go on them off to midnight. He would do for 5 hours quite easily every night. So most only 2011 and most of my friends we get a bit of a huff post as the crew is just it's just one plus one was just one line off to another. Hour off the wall and we just couldn't take anymore we all quit intended a little closer to we don't you know it was a very regional value very different from radio has had his job well dog is observing. All Sally had to do with as much television is as always contemporary I mean the only comparison a single Forsyth also lost quite recently. Telling.
