was it a skype conversation? in terms of the world of business, one way forward would be to have more meetings and so on without flying. people having big skype conversations and webcam conversations, rather than always flying to see each other on the other side of the world. listen, that may work in some contexts, that asa that may work in some contexts, that as a reporter, i know that meeting up as a reporter, i know that meeting up with my contact and having that face—to—face report is really important for building trust and a relationship. it is not a like for like replacement to my mind. and the wi-fi like replacement to my mind. and the wi—fi falling over. it is good in practice but sometimes it doesn't work. face time. speaking of the environment, boris has got a new bike apparently. yes, we were just talking about how labour was in crisis and boris is currently on the island of mustique with his girlfriend carrie simmons and apparently for christmas what he was bought was a yamaha 125 bike, second h

with us on skype david swanson he's the united nations regional spokesman for the syrian crisis david let's stay with the turkish side of things for a moment if if the turkish authorities are close their side of the border to syrian refugees what does that mean for a large hundreds of thousands of people where can they go. well this is obviously for us a very worrying development turkey has in the past and continues to be an incredibly generous host to the syrian refugees after almost 9 years of conflict hosting more than 3000000 people and do we continue to hope that the situation will improve at the moment right now the vast majority of the people being displaced in the area are moving northward are in northern italy and to urban areas. close to the turkish border. and what's what are they going to i mean we talk about refugee camps of the silicates what is able what is able to be supplied to them by the united nations and by other groups well as you can guess the situation on the ground continues to me quite fluid what makes it particularly difficult is as your reporter said we had

inquiry into racism and started with number ten downing st they said because they made the point on skype news, too many people, the alleged racism of our main party political leaders is something that emboldens people to behave in this way and a tiny minority of football fans, it imports them, the government of mr johnson and indeed jeremy corbyn for different reasons. and something has to be done for sure because we are both fans. it is one person at a 50,000, but nevertheless it is awful and should not happen. there is no justification for it and if it happens, to take the place of the field. it reflects society and it is not a one—off incidents, there's been several similar incidents and we thought we had seen the back of in the 1980s. 30 years since he was abused playing for liverpool and we thought as a society that we had moved on and seeing the back of that. and yes, i think if it takes teams for us to walk off the pitch to bring it home to the fence that this type of behaviour is unacceptable in stadium, part the stadiums to be closed down, it's getting to the point where we ha
