Sounds good music radio and podcasts is 5 minutes past are you listening to up all night on B.B.C. 5 Live With Me No Mia One of the big stories today is the death of Tony Morris the Nobel Peace Prize Winning us author has died at the age of 88 a family confirmed by quite with profound sadness that she had died following a short illness she won a Pulitzer Prize and the American Book Award in 1988 for beloved and then her writing how to describe it she combined release them and folklore gravity and humor such important writing she spoke in January 2009 and described how emotionally overwhelming it was to write about the suffering of in slaved people slavery is such a large subject I wanted to do them justice I didn't want to make them live happily ever after now it is true that there were moments when I faltered and you know I would stop writing for a while until the language was there but my job was so easy compared to there all I had to do was think about it write about it and tried to feel it. I didn't have to live it so I thought well if they could endure that life the least I could do is write about it she wrote 11 novels in the poet and author Nikki Giovanni a good friend of Toni Morrison for over 40 years spoke to the B.B.C. And said her legacy will live on I am incredibly set but you know Tony hasn't left us Tony has no more or less bless them Shakespear has left us then than Jesus has left us she will always be with and she will always be alive with us her stories will always be alive what she has given to literature it is a seat that will continue to grow the British novelist Diana Evans for the tourney would be remembered as a great storyteller with a powerful message that would say this is well anger and emotion in her writing but it was always very measured and it was always in the context of maybe great storytelling and that's what she's going to be remembered well most who she told these great stories about people about her people in particular African-Americans and the impact of racial injustice on African-American experience and her family in their statement went on to say although her passing represents a tremendous loss we are grateful she had a long well lived life has beat now to Professor Joyce Joyce from Temple University in Philadelphia he specializes in African-American literary criticism how did she Joyce solo good evening or good morning over here in the U.K. That's only a few reaction to to the passing of Toni Morrison. I realized that because she was such a private person that unconsciously I just took for granted that she would always be around. And that was I didn't realize that there was my you know that there was the sense that ahead so I was very surprised this morning when I came downstairs and turned on C.N.N. Here and I saw that she had made a transition in a way though her her work lives on forever yes totally totally so totally and you know just in terms of what she was she was she did 11 novels 5 children's books and and plays as well for those people especially here in the U.K. You might not know much about her work what you think the new reader should start with Tony. I think. A new reader should start actually that the new reader doesn't have to read the essay that I have in mind but she has an Essex car route it is the ancestor as far as Foundation and she talks about Imette the our reality of who we're She talks about. How music has sort of replace in some sense the feeling that the affective nature of of the novel and I think that the novels where we get the ancestor. Such as tar baby the Americium the Song of Solomon most people talk a lot about the blue is I Insua her 1st 2 novels but tar baby and what one of her more research novels americium I think. Show the range of her her creativity the range of her around and how she goes she emphasizes and talks about how the are all about a graph there are about a graphical art form of African-American culture is both individual and and also can community with communal I'm sorry communal that what she does in her works is that she includes Our she shows that interconnection between our people and to use Going them in Brooks's term she shows in some sense that all of us are infirm. It's really difficult to put into words isn't it Joyce just how important Tony was and still is to you to black people in the US But how significant do you think she was to black women in particular. All. Black women are very very dominant in her in her canon in her work and she she she if she shows us ways in which we can heal ourselves she shows us where is in which we in which we can be whole. And so. If we look at pilot in Song of Solomon. We see that. Pilot what is important here too is that I was looking at a statement that she made in that essay I mentioned that. Is who she is not just because of this the women the females in her family but interestingly enough but also because of her brother and her father in her and her family and so Maurice unclearly believes that the novel is more complete I guess I can say if you have sort of a balanced representation our of many of the male role and the female role and when I say balanced I'm not referring to numbers but I'm referring to the role that the characters play in the novel yeah her 1st novel that was published the The Bluest Eye It really stood out as the name because this was a book that really perplex women at the at the center through through the courage to who was young black girl who wanted to be white and it looked at the guess that the pressures on black women the oppression that black women face point by everybody that novel that a very difficult a very difficult novel because he deals with issues of of of rape and sexual abuse and so patriot and it really I think brought to the forefront in a very sophisticated way that those issues that that those different difficult terrorizing issues that black women that black women face in given dealing with those experiences. So I think that that novel will always will always be in our use that we're at a head start of before in terms of Seward I'm sorry in terms of blue is a classic in a way you actually met Tony several times in the 1st time I met her actually was at Arnold Rampersad apartment in New York after. After a conference on you know it's so funny I can't remember if there's a conference unlike some Hughes or on our own Richard Wright I think was on our banks Hughes and are now invited a group of the preachers the parents over to to his home in Gates was there are Eleanor trailer was there now and it's the X. Effort Marson I can't remember who else was I don't blame you. Or she like ole I would sit very very sophisticated very composed. And very reserved out say. You know this. All I was yes I was I was nervous and. Eleanor Traylor introduced me to her and she said she said hello and that was about it but the 2nd time I met her face to face was more interesting because it was a conference and Sonia sent years was there to see her and to to attend mark the panel that Morrison was going to be on and it was so crowded and Sonia asked me to go in that Marise to know she was there so I went up to Mars and I said Miss Morrison and Joyce Joyce and she said I don't know who you are now we're taken aback by that I was very taken aback by that yes yes I was she told me she asked me to do you know that son you know she knew him kind of lead her inside inside the auditorium that's great that was that you never lasting memory for years now oh those both of those are very everlasting Yes they are at this every word reasons why Tony was inspiring I think said he for the younger generation you know the fact that she got her 1st publishing job or 36 she published her 1st book at 39 although being a single working mom yes yes but you know I've been thinking about her of course our day and I realize that she actually is the. Mother of African-American literature people refer to Richard Wright as the father of African-American literature but Marson is the mother of African-American literature and. There are more dissertations. Written on Tory Marson. There are a lot of dissertations voluminous to situations with no rich right and I would say they both they both share that in terms of inter national notoriety and international influence so if Tony is the mother who are the the daughters and the sons then JOYCE Because. You know it's all about the next generation as well and are there any people that you think. There are should be reading oh yes immediately I thought of Alexis Deval Teles more. Alexis De Voe has a novel coal mine I call Yarbrough M.S. Her most recent novel Any 60 mm mini multi layered the way in which Toni Morrison's novels I'm out multi-layered she too like Morrison of. I don't use the word goes have spirits in her in our holes are our ancestral spirits and she and the women very much though in Yarbrough all the women carry carry that carry that now. I would say Alexis sort of aunts. Aunts an element a thematic element an interest to our addressing women because there are Alexis deals with the. With homosexuality lesbian ism in her work as as well but there are women who are also nurturers in the same way that they are and some of them are in Mars novels they have multi-layered difficulty as experiences there he learns as well. In the same way that we thought and they're in very complicated very complicated women it does feel like there doesn't enjoy that you know this generation of great Royce's hard pill a Tony Morrison have now passed and what is the future of literature Dean do you think that we will see more of the the future Toni Morrison G.G. Think there are people out there that can that can follow in her footsteps I think that I think that Deval is a good example of how people are following a following in her in her in her footsteps and. There is you know we can't forget those She's our swatter as well also deals with spirituality in her in her in her in our roles in her novels as well. It's really wonderful talking to Joyce thank you so much for your time that you get welcome you take care Professor Joyce Joyce from Temple University in Philadelphia who specializes in African-American literary criticism just to sort of wrap this up has been as you can imagine 2 to Toni Morrison something that I think is probably just on the theme of Joyce was Joyce and I were talking there about the future writers should be paid by storm Z. In Maquis books which are set by him to help black and minority authors he paid respect by by quoting her with her own quote If there is a book you really want to read but it hasn't been written yet than you must write it. Now let's have a look to see what is making the front pages making headlines I should say on the front pages this morning Michael book is on the Daily Express and he told me that brags that surprisingly is on the front page was just for a change just to give everyone a break over the summer he had Boris Johnson the prime minister the big message on page one is he saying the E.U. Must back down if it wants to reach a Brics it deal now it does seem as though there is a concerted intensifying effort across government that they should have this message that Britain is ready for a no deal break so yesterday we had to 1st of all the prime minister's spokesman talking about how the PM wants to me E.U. Leaders in the Go see a new deal when the polish is the anti democratic backstop according to them then the said we will throw ourselves into the negotiations with the greatest energy and spirit of friendship but if the E.U. Wants a deal it needs to change its stance and then not long after that Michael Gove who is in charge of no deal preparations he said that he was deeply saddened that the wasn't going to change his position at the moment he came out of a meeting of the government's so-called war cabinet on bricks and he said they wanted to negotiate in a spirit friendliness but the E.U. Had to understand Britain was leaving Deal or No Deal on October 31st he says one thing is clear the old deal that was negotiated has failed to pass the House of Commons 3 times so we need a new approach so you can see that they are trying to keep up this pressure particularly on Dublin and their Prime Minister Lee over aka but he said yesterday our position is that the withdrawal agreement including the backstop is closed but there always room for talks and negotiations so we were in the phoney war at the moment but it's going to get a bit hotter as we come to September October of thing and you'll be containing to splash in as well I imagine and well it does seem to have that there is a lot of interest from miners. I can assure you of that an amazing on after the shooting in the U.S. Tax if is in the headlines again never really disturbing picture yet horrible picture The emerged over the weekend in this police in Texas of sparked outrage after this picture emerges 2 police officers 2 white police officers on whole Spight leading a black suspect in handcuffs down the street with a rope tied to him these were taken on Saturday in Galveston in Texas shared on social media and they have now gone viral has you could probably understand it's led to tensions in the area and people have said that it is a throwback to slavery in the long history of racism violence and in the area in the States as a whole now officials identified the man who was arrested is a guy called Donald Neelix who had been detained on Saturday on a charge of criminal trespassing he's already been a politest too by the local police chief Vernon Hale He says that this is a trained technique where it laid off and he thinks it's best practice in some scenarios but does say that the officers showed poor judgment in this instance and could have wait for transport unit instead they did further said A The officers didn't have any malicious intent now we don't know if these offices How face disciplinary action there is calls for them to face such action Mr Neely sister in law Christa Neely only found out about what happened when she saw the picture on Facebook so you can imagine how cold she was and she said imagine scrolling Facebook and seeing a love go on being escorted jail on foot by 2 officers on horseback kind of beyond his back with a rope attached in 2019 he was treated like an animal so there is some unrest in the area and it's understandable and some people are saying well if this was a white man he would have been treated that way and it doesn't help does they obviously with the ongoing racial tensions in the U.S. After the shootings and as you mentioned that kind of throwback. Almost to the what was happening in America to black people in the 38 had that the right blood path and just does not look it is the 1st thing you think of when you see that is that throwback to those times and you know as you say with the white it with white supremacies gained traction over there and obviously we have these incidents where police officers do seem to be heavy handed more with black suspects them why they can see that there is a bit like a tinder box over there at the moment that's like gay change now another story that you covering which will be me think to the A's of of of those who suffer from obesity Yes indeed it's a miracle anti obesity job been developed by British scientists the Imperial College in London now there is currently a minute people who are severely overweight and who have been led to diabetes in the book it's really good news because some people are on this thing of being shed around 10 pounds in just 4 weeks and what is it contains a cocktail of hormones that burns off more effectively than a gastric bypass operation and they say so far there's no side effects the patient's blood glucose returned to normal levels within a month on average the last $9.00 pounds and the one in particular said the most was a woman who shed $11.00 pounds now an injection or a tail is always being seen as like the holy grail in the fight against obesity and at the moment we've got a 3rd of the world's population obese and overweight and by one of the worst affected by that and the lead professor is very excited about that and the new combination hormone treatment which is very very promising as shown significant improvements in patients' health in only 4 weeks so it's quite exciting but it's not going to be on the market just for a while yet so try looking after yourself or doing a bit of exercise in the meantime before this comes around and get involved with Michael and now this is. My favorite questions that I think I'll never get tired of asking is what you'd pay if you win the lottery would you guys who are Michael of course I would not really Daily Express but others know so much of this is an Amazon worker who pulled a city you have to read learn the $10000.00 pound a month for the next 30 years now this is Dean way Missy's a 24 year old from Peterborough he hit the jackpot in the National Lottery a new set for life pro which as a segue pays you out monthly rather than a big lump sum now he was on a 15 minute break as and when he checked his phone and discovered it won the prize which works out about $3600000.00 in total he was overwhelmed as he would beat any Instead of taking his 10 minute break yes or a 50 minute break he took a 25 minute break instead then he pretended he was sick so he could go home and share the good news with his family then the next day came in just one day in and he had to say why he was leaving in the little section that they have on the hay char form and he was a wrote down the words we'd all love to write down I won the lottery and as with that he handed it in and off we went home and he's planning to look after his brother who's got autism a 23 year old brother Robert and look after him with the money as well as put deposit down on the home of his own and had to Disneyland Paris as well as one I mean I so much for them and another story that you're covering a Perry looking angry thickos is good for us it is good for you if you've got a bag of chips in your hand because often when we've the great British summer time when you had so the head for the coast and the beach you get your chips and then the SIEGEL swoops down now scientists from Exeter University I do like the funding we get to see some of these are absolutely right this is for this is what it is they've worked out that if you stare at them they're less likely to steal your food now the poor bag of chips on the ground and tested how long it took herring go. So approach when someone was watching them on average the goals took 21 seconds longer to approach when they were being stay at that there's a brilliant pictures in the paper of some research is staring at goals that tested $74.00 goals most flew away or would not approach a toll when they were being looked at so we did the so it just goes to prove that if you stand or can be a bit human with these things they'll soon back their own brand cereal I said it sounds like a stair off though so it sounds like. You know the signals what I think you're want to fight with if you're staring at the might be some feisty goal so I'm not saying everyone out there should be doing it this all but on average usually you couldn't some of these things the cowardly so you can keep your chips under wraps Tedham out and you'll be alright that's Michael book after on the Daily Express telling is what is making that front pages just coming up the HOF the let's get some more headlines now on digital B.B.C.

Bath. You can tell me as 5 Live A. Busy Thursday 5 AM Let's bring you another story that's been making headlines here in the U.K. Chelsea Football Club have apologized for what it says are the terrible past experiences of some of its former players after external review since allegations of historical child sexual abuse at the club has been an independent inquiry into the actions of the former Chelsea chief scout Eddie he threw a chair revealed he was a prolific paedophile and abuse his position to take advantage of players my colleague Run Bridge has been looking into it and he's joined Chelsea as a scout in 968 and he worked there for more than a decade he was there until 979 when he was sacked by the former England footballer Jeffers to take an ever as manager what the report concludes though is that as well as being ultimately the chief coach Chelsea Heath was a prolific manipulative unsophisticated sexual abuser and it seems that the abuse was planned and systematic he wasn't just an opportunistic offender So how did he get away with this. I think you have to understand the context so the men who gave evidence in that report were boys at the time of the abuse that happened between the ages of 10 and 17 when they 1st met Heath and he was very careful and he really planned what he did he would ingratiate himself with the families and groom the families as well as the people whose going to abuse he would use his position to intimidate plays into silence into drop them from from squads and this kind of thing and a lot of the people involved were really young so they didn't really understand what was happening to them was abuse they didn't understand the sort of sexual language and sexual nature of what was going on and many of them actually felt ashamed or actually responsible for what happened to them for allowing They felt that they had allowed that in some way to happen to them well then you want to tell Thea where of what was happening it was very careful about what he did he made sure if you look at the report that the the worst abuse if you want to put it like that the most of serious offenses happened away from other adults in private and the report concludes that there wasn't any evidence they could find that any adults it Chelsea of actual knowledge of serious acts of abuse which included stuff up to the level of rape there was no evidence that people are real where of that going on because it happened in private what it does say though is that Heath was also a risk taker and the report is satisfied that the rod also working at Chelsea at the time who must have been aware of some of the sort of inappropriate activities he was doing which were taking place in front of other people and the report goes on to say and I'll quote here The unhappy reality is that some people must have seen things and turned a blind eye to what they saw and tell us about Dario Gradi. Dario Gradi was working at Chelsea at the same time and Heath was that and there have been allegations that Gradi went to see one of the victims victims in order to smooth things over with the family because what happened was that the family one of the victims told his father what had happened and his father contacted the club about what his son and told him Now Dario Gradi initially wanted little to do with the review he refused to speak to them at the start eventually he did agree to speak to Charles reports of Daria Gradi said he didn't go and see the family but he says that the father of the victim told him he didn't want to get anything to trouble but driving him Dario Gradi decided he needed to tell somebody at the club what the family had said to him and he says that he never spoke to Eddie His directly but he spoke to an assistant manager at the club and he said that he categorically denies ever smoothing anything over with anybody what is the report completed. Yes or the reports are that they thought Dario grabbed his account of events is unlikely and unconvincing they say that it was clear that the father actually wanted something to be done about his actions and Charles Gay He concluded that Dario Gradi actually spoke to Eddie Heath themself about what the family is sad and that that in fact expose the victims even more bullying and intimidation by Eddie Heath and this is perhaps the most damning line in the report the complaint against Mr Heath was not referred to someone more senior at the club by diarrhea grotty and an opportunity to prevent Mr Heath from going on to abuse others was lost should be directed at Chelsea been aware of what was going on here. No I mean it's a very good question the report says there was no evidence that the board was aware of any heaths actions and it also goes on to say that you know the report says we have to look at these events in the context of the time that they took place this was the $970.00 S. And what the report says even so even though some of the hese conduct would look weird or out of place these days so people refer to something like Frankie Howerd making sexual innuendo and sexual comments around people the report says look it was a 970 S. People may have seen that but they wouldn't necessarily suspected there was anything more sinister going on however the report does say that with Dario grody and that individual complaint that was clear that that was a serious incident and Dario Gradi should have reported it to more senior staff at the club at the both they published the separate the you haven't won 3 races the club in the eighty's and ninety's yes so that review covers allegations of racial abuse at the club between 1980 watts of the late 1990 S. And it was conducted by Bernardo is the children's charity that concluded that black players were subject to a daily tirade of racial abuse and it says a number of plays recall hearing the former Chelsea coach Quinn Williams making racially abusive remarks now when Williams told the review he denies any wrongdoing Chelsea have now set up supporting compensation schemes for an estimated 40 victims across both of those scandals and of apologised unreservedly for what they described as. The terrible past experiences of people at the club and they say it's evident from the review the Eddie Heath was a dangerous and polyphony child abuser his conduct was beyond reprehensible and abuse was able to unchallenged he also said racially abusive behavior became normalized there was also a 3rd review that was carried out that looked at their current safeguarding practices that report said they had a healthy culture when it came to safeguarding that Robin bridge bringing us up to date on the story with Chelsea now in the Philippines there is a river that is called the Pasig River and it winds its way through Manila it's long been a dumping ground for the capital 13000000 residents the pollution that was so bad warns that in 1990 ecologist declared that biologically dead now since and there have been lots of cleanup efforts award winning cleanup efforts and what it's meant is that some stretches a now showing a return of aquatic life but in the past few years a different kind of death has come to that river local people say bodies are being dumped that with alarming frequency they are victims they suspect of President Rodriguez to testes ongoing brutal war on drugs are Philippines correspondent Howard Johnson reports. It's dorm Manila's Pasig river I've been granted special permission to join the Philippine coast guard on a routine patrol. It's a calm and peaceful start to the day but that's all about to change. It's around 8 30 in the morning here we've just been patrolling the levee the Coast Guard here along with us a river and they found the body by the side here I believe it's about 2 or 3 days old because it's rich we just. Wasn't out on the forensics officer inspects the body it's a man believed to be in his late twenty's there are no gunshot wounds suspected cause of death this fixation. The 1st time I saw a floating guard over I was so shocked and I can have it and I cannot sleep at night. Of the Philippine coast guard has since become desensitized to the grisly side of his job today's discovery is just another case in a rising number of bodies found in the river. We passed Philippine president were triggered the turkey's imposing official residence the Malecon young palace it backs on to the Pasig River a mist of eternity has made a number of references to Manila's waterways in his speeches. Was during his successful presidential campaign in 2016 he warned drug dealers that after killing them all dumped all of you in Manila Bay and all the fish there the president's spokesperson Salvatore Penelope has said in the past that Mr deter these comments are jokes and shouldn't be taken seriously. But. This is just and hyperbole this president is outraged by any kind irregularity or violation in law or any threats made against any person. Along the river from the palace is Tondo one of the most densely populated and poorest districts of Manila historic. It's one of the highest crime rates in the capital and recently became a major focus of the president's drug war. I'm here in Toronto in a community close to the river full of. Wooden shacks that area is covered and that's because it's all been washed up because of monsoon rains that have led to the river flooding its banks you guys in the background here this is a very cramped space and it's also an area where a body has a playing count and there are some allegations that the police the higher the dumpings. One resident who we will call regime described the night she heard something heavy hitting the water near her home to protect her identity we have not used her real voice we got our tickets see anything Flutie that was garbage that exclude after me before it be soo heard news that a body had been spotted regime then went on to describe how her community had been repeatedly targeted by a planned talking operations the police's code name for a drug deal stings Then she made a startling allegation that in one incident she had witnessed the police killing someone and then dumping the body in the river an allegation corroborated by her neighbors they shot the person once they were not even in civilian attire but wearing uniforms there were 6 policemen and a tricycle regime and the other residents we spoke to did not want to reveal their true identities but 5 different people from the community confirmed they had seen multiple bodies in the river we put these allegations to the Manila Police District but they declined to comment. So far the National Police say at least 6700 people have been killed in anti drug operations since the start of the drug war in July 26th Dean and all the killings were the result of suspects resisting arrest the Philippine human rights commissioner Karen Gomez told me she believes the police are being obstructionist with Case Files and this is something that's quite different from how we used to investigate killings in in the past where police would cooperate but this time there is a policy off little if no cooperation at all when it comes to sharing documentation . In her simple home and regime says the uncertainty over what is going on in her community and who is dumping bodies outside her home has left her afraid to live there. Even when the dogs are barking at night I feel like I have heart problems because of nervousness I really feel scared. That report from our correspondent in the Philippines Howard Johnson. Now back here in the U.K. Dozens of people in the town of Whaley Bridge who were evacuated after fears that a dam could best have been told they can return has been around 50 residents have been allowed to go back to their properties but most of the 1500 people who were asked to leave are spending another night away imagine sea crazy have been pumping water from above a damaged dam in Dublin have reached their target the canal and river trust says Wilson levels in the Todd Brook reservoir have fallen more than 8 meet is to bring us up to date I've been talking to our correspondent Danny thought it what we've had over the last 24 hours is that we've reached the stage finally where they got the water level down to a safe depth so they've taken something like 9 meters off the level of water atop reservoir from where they were last the day when this emergency started and what they needed to do was to get that water out as quickly as possible to take pressure off that damaged dam and the now at the point where they can now examine that down from both the reservoir side now that they've moved the water out of this and also the front side which is the pictures we've seen over the last few days of the damage the hole and everything which is what they should nuke helicopter dropping great big sandbags into it so the now at the points where they can give a good examination hopefully signed off as safe and that means hopefully that during the day on Wednesday we'll be at the point where we can see people going back into their homes probably from about lunchtime today they'll be a meeting involving the vitamin agency and everybody else that's been involved in the operation and hopefully the green light will be given to people to get back into their homes at how many people are still out of their homes and where are they it will last night about 55 people 65 properties were told that they could move back into their houses and they were in an area called Horridge and which was part of wavy but if you're standing on top of the dam looking down on way to a bridge Horridge and slightly away to the rights and the people moved out of their job. In the day on Saturday because they were worried that if they did fail the water could actually start affecting them as well so as a precaution those people in the Horridge and 55 homes were told that they had to move out to mediately And so last out 1st back as it were so they were told last night that they could go back into their homes and they are now back in but the vast majority of people remember there was 1500 people told that they had to move out of their homes are still out tonight but I think we'll get to the stage during the day on Wednesday with the press the people will be told that they can move back into their homes or they'll be no phased return or anything they'll simply list all of those road blocks and take off gateways and everything that sort of shutting off way the bridge at the moment I think of them just go back into their businesses back into their homes and get on with their lives and I suspect they'll be very relieved to do so because it's been a long few days of people being out of their homes staying with friends staying in hotels and getting increasingly frustrated with what's going on I think the only thing that would stop it if this is some surprise finding by the engineers over the next few hours we says that we need more time to make them say reading between the lines I don't think that's going to happen I think we're sort of into the formality stage now the water is low enough that the situation is safe once they sign off of that meeting at lunchtime it will be back back in their businesses at all the down in situation that is there are always those people that refuse to leave their homes as well and they I wonder how many that's been the case with the Army with the we've got I think we've had about 20 or 30 people who have stubbornly refused to leave their homes during this period and a few people did initially but when we had that operation a few days ago where people were told look you can go back into your homes but only for 50 minutes a time and then after that you have to come straight out again Well I think what happened is it's a few people went in and then never came back out and sort of the same thinking Ron's going to be back in and stay here I think that's cause the all Thora he's a headache on one hand the please. Quite angry about it because they then have to keep sending people aid to try and persuade these people to come out of their properties and also if a dam had failed these people have been in peril emergency services will probably have to go in and try and rescue them again putting their lives at risk as well so you've got people so you've got that's got the sort of emergency services annoyed by this and also some people in way the bridge been very frustrated by the handful of people doing it because it's meant that that operation to allow people in for a few minutes at a time was stopped the line was drawn and so right people come to trust it's going to come out again we're not going to do this and I think the vast majority of people kind of looked at that unfold of people that stayed in their homes been a bit selfish because it spoils it for them. Correspondent Danny Savidge bringing us up to date on what's happening in Whaley Bridge in England just on the dam the dam is secure at the moment in place with 530 tons of aggregate that it's been through meant into place a spike spent spokesman for the Environment Agency is that the dam will eventually be rebuilt but it told residents it will be a long term construction project now which is coming to the end of the hour shortly and he's only been in the job for a few weeks any in the U.K. Many British people have lots of different viewpoints from Prime Minister Boris Johnson put to the French make of him turns out they're a bit confused as analysts about me today has been telling me as we get some news from France Well the French a puzzled by Boris Johnson because they've never seen anything like this and they find it easy to say oh he's an English Trump but he's not and so I get asked because I write for an English newspaper that he any English correspondent will tell you that we all heard the birds will whisper us to explain what the. Mysterious occurrence to regrets is like. Those that. Don't understand the jerks they do not understand they sue murder. I do not understand the persona of somebody who is bumbling. Voluntarily because a trance you're not supposed to be a self deprecating you're not supposed to be to be funny and you're certainly not supposed to put yourself at a disadvantage so they don't understand that. The whole idea of a statesman in France is more like when Michael was elected in his 1st evening of inspection he crossed and in the evening the great cultured of the new. Thought it was as for a sort of a theatrical play. Grey he rose on 2 a day and was separated by a classy of emptiness and then he spoke to the crowds were promoted and he made this incredibly sort of just take a not so much more bus ticket inflated a grand human speech theory of truth and when people actually got quick or instruction says the 7th he speaks like everybody except when he makes the engines we don't understand and you know it's directly to people and trying to get laughs is not something that will get you respected and so they don't get it it's interesting because there's much made of here in the U.K. By by many people whether Boris Johnson. Buffoonery is a bit of an X. So I buy our imagine that must be even more confusing to French people if they're already questioning the way he is they yes in France if you like of intelligence and most of the leaders of. Academic intelligence have good diplomas on the ideas you cannot try to hide it. You know klezmer it falls as a compliment trying to explain from time to time the pleasure in England is not necessarily a compliment and what they it's dirty and fresh very difficult to explain. They also look at him and they say but how can he be so scruffy. Again you try and explain that actually. Very often it's when some used to do that people find them slightly louche was somebody who's just scape his his trousers of their own accord that's all right people can't deal with it and all of this is absolutely alien to us they don't understand how this man could be seen as a statesman be interesting as their breakthrough talks continue when my people make of him then there's also the fact that too to some extent French do not understand political events down anything and they don't and they speak the 1st speak English but what they really speak is not British and there's this big clue British which is the lingua franca you have and business and politics and you can talk to somebody of any kind of nationality in that language but it doesn't have a social. Cultural into the shared meanings and the jerks go completely over the house so I find myself having to try to translate into French things like an inverted pyramid of TEFL and believe me it is not easy to say this in French I was going to ask you how do you say that in French. Than they are this city but it doesn't just doesn't work it really doesn't mean anything there it doesn't mean anything in French and when you try and sort of push it to how Boris tried to win the Tory party by saying that the story would increase your wife's cup size that was also something that believe it is not been stated. And the other story that you're looking at Elizabethtown big fast joint commission that's happening between the French and the Russians involving Napoleon tell us more yes it's always strange when you go to Russia they have memories. Of the. Russia campaign by Napoleon and they certainly fought against and eventually but there is no resentment there's a growing. You know so who silence and friendship between the French and the Russians and at the same time a parody and the important French all parts literature and the harsh language. In there and now there is there are joint teams of historians and archaeologist Russians and French who by the dozens have come all the small village of smaller ones in. Total 100 kilometers west of Moscow. One of the great goals of the complain of Russia was for what it was ultimately won by the French but it one point was won by the French by tactics that in some extent sort of prefigure the horrors of the 1st World War when troops were sent when after the one month after the other against a firing cannon balls out of the trenches RINGBACK and it was very much like that there was no thought of sparing the life of the soldier who was. Told to go and storm. Positions Russian positions which were on the hills and now. In the land in the in the fields in the river swamps the archaeologists are finding bodies weapons a skeletons of horses. And sometimes not even spent and reconstructing a battle that in itself has to get in both French and Russian literature for that feel to aim of the mission is to recreate. The spirit of the mission is to learn more about how that happened how. What you find on the road the history the that the stories you know when you find the actual bodies and you can identify them too much the stories in The Legend with the actual. Situation of the battle. The. Trouble it turned also how a whole. Of the troops managed before during and off. And Elizabeth me to say that coming over the next hour I would go Hong Kong China Kashmir North Korea and pirates to stick with us. This is B.B.C.
