Their member him Jimmy Cliff the wonderful world here for one thing one of the fast track about maybe famous some across the world was this track from in Texas back in time well hurricane Dorian cost devastation mass destruction and loss of lives in the Bahamas earlier this week while the Bahamas story and not only had sustained winds reaching a 185 miles per hour wind gusts where reported to be over 220 miles per hour moved slower than the average human walks. Over the island for nearly 3 days that for any more than hurricane many of. The strongest most dangerous and unpredictable storm in modern history hundreds of people are still reported missing and might. Evacuation is underway on Abaco Island and surrounding area of the Bahamas however isn't just 2 islands so what about the rest of the island as in over $700.00 Joining us now are Monica Edwards who's on Grand Bahama and Jennifer seaman a who spent her early years on the island and still has family there good evening Monica and Jennifer good if men but these men Good evening thank you again for joining us now Monica we're going to start with you OK how are things that present from where you are. OK presently. There is. Most fear of. Despair I think my overwhelming Nance. We see it everywhere you see there are signs of the storm. The area I live in was not badly up dictated as are the areas. But there is there is calm but it's come a depressed income if you understand what I'm saying I yes people are just looking around in this they're like what makes while the sadness Now what about the media need you know do you know if there's like an official list of items most needed thought of is anything out there that people can if people want to help they can say right here it is this is what they need I can help are you able to give us any information about that OK Well many people lost everything they have in your home including clothes and stuff the basic message it is so there's a great need for clothes there's clothes and shoes anything. Well currently they're there they're organizations that are providing food and providing hot meals daily. To to the citizens but. For the long term people are going to need apply and people are going to the just everything you could imagine to rebuild their lives because the judge is the person who are affected lost everything. I've just spoke to minutes ago to my friend my very best friend one of my one of my very best friends and she was just relaying her story to me she has lost everything everything the thing because our entire house of flooded she rode out the storm in the rafters in our ceiling gener family so it's everything you can imagine food household supplies the immediate need right now is generators because there's no power or. Water. Yes those are the things that if we could just bring Jennifer in your general world where you saw your mobile ones where to look good for me I have because my loved ones in my people are in mass so mainly So obviously I live in Bristol so we were watching from afar the power was dance we can get straight to the. Mast so it just got flooded but it's it's back to business really but we watched as avocado and gram behind Miles was just completely decimated. And I heard from family members and friends of. That taking that they're going to help people that I've lost everything so I have one friend who Jennifer McSweeney has put together. Generated and she's got such a life and nappies and canned items and they're shipping them I. Was basically planning for we still know this is happening from America you know there are the other islands so as I said at the beginning there are $700.00 islands that makes up the Bahamas $33.00 of which are inhabited So even though avocado and grandpa that have been absolutely decimated the message that's going on now is that for an economy that's completely faced on tourism people still want people to go and visit the other parts of the Bahamas because in some ways by supporting Nassau and the other islands like a least. I opened for Tories you are supporting the people that have lost everything in Africa and in Grand Bahama. So you have the message is please please give funds if possible one of the. One of the places that is a good fund raising place is a place called Head Knowles and they whack with Imagine the fundraising so if you're looking to donate anything probably money is the best thing to. Donate so that then the organizations can decide what effect people need rather than getting loads of. Something that people maybe don't need you know show me or fourscore have emerged from Bristol itself from the community to your well from Bristol Wow my neighbors got together today and we did as many fundraiser in our street we usually do stretch the playing out anyway so I am and I'm going to send that money to head knowledge and to my friend who is sending the generated staff because but as that's what we need we need we need the community behind us we need to start raising funds for the S. And recognizing that there is. A car at the M Y disaster if you like because. Global warming has caused this this is the worst Tara K. . Is that certainly in my my auntie memory She's 76 and we need to make sure that as a community we can we can get behind this. Money Come going to come right back to you yes and I ask you you know can you get broad costs from radio and T.V. . Currently we have no problem no electricity. So. I know the National. News station in the fall was still up on the run in. The one in Freeport in Grand Bahama law powered generator window in the midst of the storm I think Sunday night so they were listening. They went out and I haven't heard anything of it how about from the grapevine Have you heard anything on the grapevine about what the officials are saying that programmed. Really. Because the numbers in terms of fatalities is very very much one point you're hearing over 30 dead but that can be and then you're hearing it's over 300 so we really don't know in terms of the shell news it seems that nothing much is the instead but we know using common sense it cannot be 30. My life friend who just left me a minute before you called She's coming out of the East End in the house next door to her 8 people died Wow that's a want people one home that's one house one home right next to her I know people out of that home because I visited her you're listed me so there is no way and that is just one little corner of the entire settlement because the entire eastern part of the island was flooded and when I when I say flooded I mean up to 10 feet of water. So my story what Jennifer was saying just now about the relief on Sunday relief efforts going on in the U.K. And we would do as yes we can here in the West Country to see if we would get some numbers going very shortly to them showing clearly who wants to or less monitor you've got a number 2 story and Jennifer you got a number that we can give out right now. I have. A Go Fund Me try and Go Fund Me and it helps No I can share and emergency funds if you catch that place there are a well established pay me and humanitarian and organization like it behind. If no I would say the the Red Cross What do you think the Pena Red Cross. Salvation Army Red Cross Station Yes our visual medium Red Cross was rotary maybe yes I'm Jennifer I want to want to remain somewhat Jennifer said Jennifer I really appreciate the plug you made in terms of tourism because most of the were really does not not know that the Bahamas is really $700.00 islands on keys and are not is the capital Nassau is fire is this is back up and running and so that that's where most of the tours anyway to Nassau and so we're encouraging the world to please come in come in you're going to help us to rebuild I underscore exactly what Jennifer was that in addition to that I also in total agreement with Jennifer with regards to the Go Fund Me The Money is to me at this point in time would help more than the good to get things from Bristol to the Bahamas is going to be so costly Yeah it would be cheaper for all for the money to come here to people who are credible that can be taken to the U.S. To purchase things that will get here within our. Now right now OK my son here is the best way yeah my friend said Make sure you say that we are a small nation with a big car and I think that people are showing that everybody is getting behind people people are opening up the houses people liking what they've heard everything that really. It's really nice to hear these kind of ideas and this kind of solution spin this ghost Monaco we're going to get you guys talking off air and see how you can lead to get on get this going thank you so much for your time this evening. We're with you all the way OK thank you all right thank you thank you very much. Well I did say we're celebrating life you on the show this evening primrose Grove will cover for the morning we're here till 10 pm and the hosts all touching just now Red Cross the Salvation Army on the go for me is the pages to you know to make if you feel and I know that they're looking for donation places built I'm springing up in in in the west here across the west so we'll let people know about those as I'm going to get them but speaking of life it's the final day of organ donation week 2019 there are no shortage of the to stakes on the low levels of the nation in B A I me communities but what about the African heritage community in particular how do they feel about the issue of organ donation and the soon to be law on opting out where you now have to sign a document stating you do not wish to donate families will get the final say an opt out should the need arise but National Health Service brought in transplant are encouraging people to communicate their wishes to their families to make the process less painful wealth Primrose went along and spoke to some African Caribbean African heritage community members from the skeptic out on the side or to those against She got some interesting responses. Going to donation is very very important expression before the black community because we need more black are going to do in is because we've got a lot of people way in far and there's not enough people. Up thought system is very important as well opt out system yet it was in the process of getting more. Readily available for people on the way in less so maybe they can have a better life and a life of health and your organs of viable and can be used for someone else and I think that is a good thing. Because a lot of people don't think about. Just. The West Caribbean people I think some of them alternated now but the stigma before years ago they would never meet because there's more people sick now more people are coming forward and I think more the young people are coming forward not so much the older ones because they still follow in the beliefs of being married with everything I think is good because you get the choice now while. Your family having to do that choice for you and I don't believe in the outfield I should go back to like a man on the body but unless done by a. Lot of people want to go with a gun. Don't believe in the 2nd person I think is a good idea to give auger donation for me I don't really know for me personally if I would do it but I probably will do it I think is a great idea that people can leave something for somebody you know even save a life so I think it's a good idea why you undecided about your own self Well I never really think about it I never think about if I die they can take part of me and give it to somebody as I never really think about it but know thinking about it there is a good idea or maybe I will you know I'm not 100 percent but maybe I will you know because when I buried I ever want to bear it everything inside of me but I know that's impossible they know they still take some part of you to find out what happened to you and all that's. I don't know if. That's why Bruce and if you call the notation brilliant idea because it's helping to save in lies you know I mean so obviously it's done enough sad case but nonetheless you know I mean there's no good this can come from it the fact that people benefit from it opt out well obviously the piece the person choice because probably really just reasons are whatever they might not decide to but people should be encourage you know agreed to in the side event you know make their going to be able to people could use it so I'm I don't know much about the nation but what I do know is that in our community there's been a lot of death people weigh in for me so I do believe that it is a good idea and that we should support each other because historically and genetically we would be a much. Research and I rely. On the model of the past. So there must be something why organs are in why do you feel that people should be the main reason is because I know that majority of people are dying on the way to this way of organ donation. Reasons to on not Primrose and then the reports and the reports from the African heritage community reaction to organ donation in common or more change I would speak about the very shortly after the travel. Here is our own with the very latest wealth actually in Somerset I mean if I say Spain roadworks mean Blumlein is currently closed just after junction 25 at Taunton meaning to Bristol a goal so a share I mean 49 that actions were dorks causing slow moving traffic from the M 4 junction 22 to the M 5 junction 18 are remainder of the 60 mile an hour speed restriction in the area to well share a day visit on the 84th to you cause some water main works taking place and slow moving traffic you to the temperature for use at the clock in Park. On a 350 they're slow moving traffic as head on to the farmers range rate at Bradford road due to the ongoing works and speed restriction of 38 miles an hour I am our Bolton at the B.B.C. Travel Center. Call 3000 to 8 doubles redoubles 6 B.B.C. Will. Indeed Kevin for them on Primrose ground 0 we are here till 10 pm this evening all donation seems to actual Opt-Out lot change seems to get people talking now Primrose do you know what Kev and. It was very interesting doing this pace because I thought people would back away from from from wanting to speak to me but they didn't they didn't all they I wanted to know a lot of people didn't know what opt out was so I did a lot of explaining. There were a couple of people that now I'm not doing it so they didn't want to speak to me and I tried to say I just want your opinion I don't want you to agree with anything or disagree I just want your opinion but I did manage to get a really nice mix of people who hadn't ever thought about it before and this is this is more likely going to make a difference in the future because a lot of people are often out it's people Wolf will forget if they wanted to or it's you know out in the 1st place they'll be Morgans and cyclists and I would imagine too to address the needs of all goods as we speak it's had a positive impact in Wales for a few years now so you know that is what we're we're hoping and we're hoping that it doesn't have to come to the stage where at that time when it's most difficult for families you're trying to guess what's happened because even though there is opt out N.H.S. BT still want people to actually sign an organ donor card and talk to their family that's the most important bit talk to your family because if your family don't know they don't know that you don't believe that decision with them at the end because the ultimate choice is there when it comes to the very end if you haven't done anything about it if you haven't had a conversation and we don't really like to talk about health things do we very very hard subject to speaking experience of that before well for more information please go to W W W dot and H S B T The N.H.S. Don't you care that's W.W.W. Dot and it has BT and the chest Don't you care. We're celebrating life to lecture Stevie Wonder for once in my life. Let's not let's look at least slow play the Thank you from his my studio album Stevie Wonder on Motown takes us back to the night in 68 for once in my life one of my favorite songs I happy song Kevin you can't not think about good things I agree I mean I was just thinking while I was playing there's a 2nd track with play from Stevie bass evening and thinking we could do a whole show off Stevie Wonder we could do a 2nd show with Stephen one the tracks because they still just don't go and isn't it beautiful music it was way ahead what is your favorite Stevie Wonder song yeah I don't have one I think honestly do not have one I hear what I say OK well I like Isn't She Lovely I like even happy bet they we did it in memory of Stephen was my Luther King and that once a fantastic song they talk about for once in my life to talk about you talk about that there's so many many many songs from Stevie it's so hard to pick what I don't know I'm sure you feel the same plate as early as I play out all the time but I must admit you know how I prefer originals right yeah you really want to save your life but I like I like George Michael Blige and George Michael version which I didn't play in your absence but that's not the fun you're going to think they'll know my singing tonight you think tonight everybody and I thought about you when I played. On Are you going to think the song you know getting out that's what makes that song for me Stephen what Sorry George Michael. Mary J. Blige what I think actually sells it is because it's in the wet because it's male and female it's got a lot I know she yeah yeah I do you know I mean so I think that's what makes that song for me if you want to compare it to I still haven't had a Stevie Wonder song that's been recorded and you think you know we had people like the food used to killing me softly bear almost better than the original say and some unknown woman about Stevie Wonder. I think you are greater than I do and we're talking about music and as a saying goes music gives a soul to the universe wings to the mind a fly to the imagination and life to everything while a local jazz pianist from chart name is doing just that and is using his musical skills to fundraise for the people of Uganda B.B. Season he met with musician Alex Steele to find out more about the charity A.V.'s. I'm very lucky because I met a great person recently called Jane Morton and when she heard about the work that I've been doing in Uganda she said I would love to do a fund raising event for you in my garden and she's often raising money for good causes and after she heard about what I'm doing in Uganda she suggested this particular garden party so I said yes please so all the money they raise they'll be selling tickets on the day or go towards African village support A.V.'s That sounds fantastic So tell us a little bit more about A.B.S. I was has been running for probably 25 years British lady called Marie case went out on a V.S.O. After she retired schoolteacher about 25 years ago and after V.S.O. Finished she realised that many of the communities in this part of Uganda such about an hour north of Bali in the east side of Uganda many of those communities were left without very much support in terms of knowledge and resources so she based her self there and lived with those communities and built up this charity called African village support at that time and what does it do it's a it's about giving children the opportunity to go to school it's about helping the local schools it's about providing accommodation for young girls that live a long way away from the schools otherwise they don't go to school at all and it's also about working with Germany with women to help them set up small businesses in their communities to help them become more resilient and sustainable. And it's not really a 100 percent about simply giving money to communities but it's about making them resilient and giving them knowledge and resources so that they can actually fend for themselves I think the mark of any good charities the ability to help them get started and then leave them to get on with it so you said that this started off with a V.S.O. Was obvious a voluntary service is overseas many people that want to get involved in international development work as volunteers or work with a big international organization and they place professional people in a range of community development and international projects around the world so this is how this Lady Mary Kate became involved in that particular community there are so many charities people fundraise. Supposedly sending money. How do people know it's actually reaching the recipients this is a good question but I'm very lucky because I've been going out to work with this particular project in these communities for the last 5 years I've been working Uganda for the last 15 years and when I came across this project I was really taken by it because it's a small scale local project so I've been going I've got at least once or twice a year and so I see what's really happening so if for example there's a donation of a night of money for a particular reason maybe maybe to build a community center or a school or resources for a school I'm going out there as the other trustees I'm also a trustee of this charity I should say I wasn't at 1st I was just going to help and then I said kind of I become interested in what was involved as your role as a trustee well that's making sure that the priorities are right in terms of where you spend time and money and effort with local people that's why it's really important to be there this is not about people in the U.K. Making decisions on behalf of those communities this is it's most most importantly for my role is being there living and working with local people seeing what they they need so Alec's fundraise money here and then you go over there and help. People of Uganda How do you then decide who gets what and how much but it was a huge challenge because again people when they know the charity exists everyone is coming saying we need help with you know many many things so there are true I said I'm one I'm one of several trustees in the U.K. But there's also a board of trustees of local people in Uganda so we have to I guess just prioritize one of the most urgent needs and there are projects around the education projects around health and also projects around entrepreneurship so I think what happens is you look at how much money we we've raised in any particular year and you apportion it to the highest priorities and I guess it's it's a challenging task to have but over the last 25 years this is what's been happening all the time but the local people are involved in local decision making to help to define what is really important what Ugandan people think Western people. And helping them sometimes. If they have a negative view about it all the the west of the Savior is coming in and helping NOT NOT saw that perspective as a reason in in the U.K. But what the reaction is when we are there Uganda is an interesting one because it was a British colony until the 1960 S. And there's a great fondness for British people that when they can protect when we come back but certainly when we arrive they are very warm very welcoming of a they appreciate that we're there as volunteers they were not being paid to be there with with we are there generally to help. But I know there has been some history recent in the U.K. In fact a comic relief didn't about the motives of people going out to places like Uganda but certainly the this is a very small charity the people that I know the involved the British people and the Ugandans the lovely lovely people and the one place and every penny that they raise goes to incredible projects which which saves people's lives and enhance people's lives incredibly. If you'd like to find out more about the garden party fundraiser where you get to hear jazz pianist Eric Steel perform the contact details are Alex Alex Alex and John J. Morton at hotmail dot co dot U.K. . And I'm assigned a cafe and he should go OK But Joan Gray said I was just too shy to say hello but also what she said to John Craven just imagine I love you moaning inside you reality headsets for pregnant women to get rid of the you know what we really effective for getting rid of pain in life drugs pain relief it's moaning became a shout when she was down time she's genuinely spending it in my time we've got one full come sighs round head beautiful countryside great heart she'd love it oh I would love it and she got her drink I would love to come and have a drink come to my forewarning It's a morning weekdays from now on B.B.C. Will. Back to life it is battle reality we are celebrating life on the show evening my question to Primrose I think I'll take that back now Paul said you like soul to soul I do like that Kate but we didn't get enough of that when I was growing up you know. The 1st track ever had from soul to soul was a track called fair play that was in the eighties and featured a singer called wind drops and this was for the happy. With that. Was the hit track from sort of soul again keep on moving. Past the one and back to life obviously and was they 2nd he they had from from that period indeed out talking about music we are going to carry on now and enjoy our tastes off the month we began to look into the life and music of Bristol's performing artist called Vanesa melody Vanessa melody is an artist for September and just like you she has a story to tell this week a unique story takes us back to the 980 S. When she had to relocate to Jamaica because her parents were going back after 25 years in the U.K. . No. Initially I didn't want to tell you giving up everything but once I got there it didn't take me long to settle I just felt home almost immediately why what you think that was all I can put it down to I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulder but I didn't know was there that's what it felt like I felt a sense of freedom I'm writing some stuff at the moment just you know things that happened and one of the things that came out was that it's almost like a cultural thing came out of me must have been embedded I didn't know but I'd be walking out you know to go to work in the mornings and you see your elders and you automatically say good morning or good evening just came you know just respect especially for elders and just being in a place where everybody looks like you same color as you hearing the way they spoke being in a rural place as well the country oh my god it was just I was at home I took to it like a duck like duck to water at 17 so you know you would imagine you were used to the United Kingdom to be born in your store at 17 the war what made you want you to left the U.K. To go and live in Jamaica to live what made you didn't make that decision for my father I had no choice why were you being naughty NO NO NO. Me I always followed the rules I was a good girl I was always told I was nice but I know my father spent 25 years in England and decided he'd had enough he was ready to go home so he took me he said he's not leaving me I was 17 I was still in school it was a turbulent time as well leading up to it but yeah he decided he'd had enough of this country and so he took me and my younger brother and sister to Jamaica I mean how long did you stay and I stayed for 2 years with intentions of going back but then you get back to. England you fall into the life again and what kind of life did you leave in Jamaica it was oh I still had the pressures from my parents where because they were very religious very strict parents and you know there were certain things you couldn't couldn't do. But apart from that I worked one of the things that did happen when my father decided to go about was that it was turbulent very turbulent in the home because my mum wasn't ready to go so I didn't do well in school because I was going through my G.C. As a time so going to Jamaica it was difficult to find a job so my dad's friend employed me I was working in a wholesale taking orders for shop keepers and I did a brilliant job my dream of. Missing the time. But. You know I went to work 6 days a week I had a boyfriend they didn't know about. Went to church you know and it was just happy I just loved being there we you know we used to take us out on trips the beaches rivers used to go and visit family up in the country it was just beautiful seriously beautiful and loved every minute and we had lots of dogs in the yard you know as they do we had funny names for some of them and it was just lovely So my dad was a farmer as well he kept chickens for a company so we're going on and he had cows and goats he was a farmer and pigs and all sorts but it was just beautiful I used to sit in the orange trees in the morning just peeling oranges in them and it was just nice and 2 years on you had to return to the U.K. What's that like when one of the reasons I came back was to go back to study and this is where like my journey started the challenges faced I started facing because you know if you've lead the country for over I think it was a year at the time you couldn't do. Come back and you know go and study and get any help financial help you have to be here 3 years before you could do that and I did apply and they said sorry no you can't have any help so I kind of did little jobs here and there and decided on a course. But I think I was just finding my way for the 1st time on my own without my parents who have told me you know you have to do this and this is the way to do it so that's when I actually started finding my own way and made lots of errors though it's I've learned from him say the errors their experiences that taught me lessons when I look back on them now so it's been a long journey but I enjoyed being back here. Nothing Compared to be an intimate time in a seriously. What do you think was like and what did you like what was the comparison over the education is taken very seriously you have to pay as my brother and sister they went back I went back a year in order to complete the course school and my parents you have to pay for tuition fees you have to buy the books you have to buy a uniform everything you have to pay for and so it's taken very seriously over there and then if you fail one year you're staying back until you've passed before you can so everybody that I knew they were you know not well to do but had a sense of direction and then of what they wanted them where they were going yes over here I think is taken for granted that everything is free and you know if I don't have the past this time I can just go back and do it next time well everything was free yeah it was then. Right in 87 you are OK but they said we're going to enjoy another truck for you this weekend what is that going to be OK so the truck that you're going to hear this week is names of towns and it's Jamaican folk song that gives the funny names of places in Jamaica as well as teaching you about the 14 parishes.

News it's 9 I'm Tom what's later Leo Varadkar says he's not expecting a brick sit breakthrough when he meets Boris Johnson in Dublin tomorrow the tea shark and the prime minister are expected to discuss alternatives to the Irish border backstop designed to prevent a hard border in Ireland France has suggested it might block a breakfast extension because the U.K. Hasn't put forward any alternatives to the plan Mr Varadkar says a deal is more likely to be agreed at next month's E.U. Summit I don't expect any big breakthroughs but I do think it's not a change for us to establish relationship to see what common ground might exist because I do believe that both.
