More from a health reporter Katie Silver new research by the University of Leeds suggest that women may not be getting the care they need they found women were up to 3 times more likely to die than males in the year after having a heart attack and they were less likely to receive the recommended treatments such as bypass surgery or statens when women did receive all the recommended treatments the gap in mortality between the sexes decreased dramatically the British Heart Foundation says heart attacks a too often seen as a male health issue and that this needs to change the B.B.C.'s China editor Carrie Gracie has resigned from her post in protest of what she calls an indefensible pay gap between men and women in an open letter she said she'd been dismayed to discover that the corporations 2 male international editors and at least 50 percent more than that 2 female counterparts Ribisi said there was no systematic discrimination against women many of the Hollywood's biggest stars have used the Golden Globe awards to show their support for campaigns against sexual harassment Oprah Winfrey who won a lifetime.

And also find out how one man in South Somerset got on either the weekend when he attempted to round 92 miles in 24 hours yet you'll hear from states before 8 o'clock plan content and breakfast b.b.c. Summit. Get in touch let me know you we can highlights any thoughts any comments you are more than welcome to contact the show you can text 81 trouble 3 just make sure you start your text message with the word Somerset thank you very much so round 2 years ago the musician Steven Sykes from the council he was diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer and despite searching among 15000000 donors doctors could not find a bone marrow match that was spoken to Stephen before the breakfast show you. Heard his story a few times on b.b.c. Somerset most notably when the brass band the peo kicked off this was popular around the world he reached brass Bank communities trying to get people to sign up to the diner register Well last month he became one of just a handful of people to have a radical new treatment haploid identical stem cell transplant now that basically means that his mom Joe who isn't actually a Stem Cell match could still be a donor because she's a parent it's extraordinary what science can do now I caught up with Stephen and his mom to find out how they were by thinning and how things have gone I was told it would tell you no it's fairly easy to fix 6 months out of my busy season she enjoyed Unfortunately I'm still here well ourselves or just hear me I'm still alive which is a very fortunate thing one point was looking so good. To have a stem cell transplant of a new kind of system really is called a hapless identical transplant where they they looked around in 15000000 donors on the register to try and find an unrelated match for me and in 15000000 couldn't find one so I always knew it was a little bit weird but now I'm clinically weird. So I ended up with her well identical. Restore on quality hospital. Of course all done here specializing in all the research for all this and a very now the 7th person I think Orly's his 7th to go through a haploid dentical stem cell transplant using stem cells from my mom which until recently was a complete no go area very dangerous and I had that I think nearly 30 days ago. And everything's fantastic I say this with circulation I'm just checking my arms I haven't got any nasty rashes or. Think about the guy already think. Everything Torchwood seems to be going to really well I mean they talk about post stem cell transplant it's the 1st 100 days and it's almost like you just had your inauguration is and you're in the White House but you know as you say I think that things are all sort of looking positive are you feeling better I feel I feel better because analogy actually because I feel like I've got the pressure of the 1st 100 days in the White House. Checking all the time I mean because the big problem with any transplant is the prophecies host effect afterwards is you know that that is as dangerous if not more dangerous than the transplant itself when when someone else's immune system decides that realizes that your body's not their body anymore and most are a bit of a go it's it but so far thanks to you know boat load of steroids. Dripper I was on 24 hours a day 7 to 7 days a week for falling nearly 3 weeks actually. A month was it Ok so I remember because it kept this graph versus Host thing down you know that was always the problem especially with transplants before. They were informers and got you know lost skin peeling off the hands but that's that's nothing in the grand scheme of things be a touch wood everything's going really well you'll story really hit home for a lot of people that are people started picking up on your story in terms of in terms of a headline in terms of media interest but of course you started getting brass bands of which you know you were a member of one of them involved in looking for Dinah does it still amazes use to you know he's picked up on this it does actually it's just a global thing you know I'm talking thousands of people in 1st send about you know let's let's do a blog and I thought yeah great you know so another 10 people are now going to going to get to know what's coming. You know off the back of that is obviously I've been a musician about to have like a 2 year layoff from Plano So I just came bookings from bombs again and things the back end of the year because they know that every 6 months realistically. I'm able to be out you know playing and doing what I do again the You Tube channel a 100 day practice challenge which all links in with the whole blogs they were all musicians mainly anyway where you know you choose what it is you want to practice and you evolve you know somehow on the site for a 100 days I'm doing videos every day which is actually quite quite difficult time quite time consuming oh just about Michael's room more more as a trombone player actually Blosser healthwise as well what I'm doing in these 100 days to try and get back up together quite the story Steven Sikes speaking Nemo from Steven in an hours time you'll hear from his mom Joe who ended up being a donor even though she was in a match this is the latest treatment it's called haploid tentacle stem cell transplant it was done up in Bristol and stayed in believed to be only one of about 7 people to have a transplant done at the hospital so we'll hear more from Steve in his story in less than an hour's time is b.b.c. Somerset it's 713 Good morning Atlanta and P.V.C.'s.

This year with extra beds move for me at half past 7 and more on that as well coming up after half past 7 today on. The program let's talk strikes then shower because if you are traveling by train you could see some disruption members of the royal Maritime and Transport Union all going on strike affecting 5 operating companies across the Including southwestern railway which does cover parts of Somerset and indeed the West now the strikes are because of a long running dispute over the role of guards on trains with 3rd stoppage is planned for Wednesday and Friday Senhor is back on the program managing editor of rail news a train industry newspaper Good morning to good morning thank you for being with us again just go through how big a strike this is in the difference commuters will say it's the biggest yet really because it does involve 5 operators they range from. Opening them to southwestern railway which you've already mentioned the great anger and which is always there is that it's certainly not foreign to strike in this dispute the effects are very usually greater judging by previous occasions will be running and indistinguishable service from normal Murphy rail in Liverpool will be quite badly disrupted so. The railway comes in somewhere between 2 talking about running 70 percent of services I checked in about 3 minutes and they got to junction for example seem to be normal so it could be worse Yeah absolutely I mean we have been in touch with the department the transport he told us that the route was not about safety adding that and I quote No one is losing their job they say employees have been guaranteed jobs and salaries for several years despite the best efforts of the are empty to cause misery for passengers they say the train companies will keep passengers moving with the majority of services running his plan what's your reaction to that statement I mean is the are empty in the wrong here. I think the language is unfortunate on both sides because they are empty speak with the same affection about the Department of Transport and indeed the regulator the office of railroad we really have a very difficult deadlock here both sides are making their points very firmly if you don't tell Western Railway specifically for a moment what they're saying is that God will still be rusted on every train but they want to see what can be done if a guard is not available to keep passengers moving I quote and email as the managing director that it means anything means that trains could in exceptional circumstances run with only a driver and this is an example of the kind of sticking point this is what we are empty will not broke so how far away do you think we are from this is he being resolved. I don't know if you want to measure it in like it is you could say we're a long way away because there is very little sign of movement on the sorry they are empty I think clear that this is the beginning of t
