Food and shelter. The most basic of human needs. Wily in 2017 are so | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
many struggling to put a roof over their heads? In Derby there is talk | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
of a homelessness crisis, is this the result of cutbacks? The | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
situation is getting worse and worse. I find it worrying. It's | :00:23. | :00:31. | |
getting really bad. Also tonight, why are so many homes standing | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
empty? Turns out it's not so easy to find owners. We aren't talking about | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
dozens, we are talking about thousands lying empty. And what new | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
technology can tell us about the danger of heading footballs. It's | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
one of your former players who has died of boxer's brain. You should be | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
screaming from the rooftops for these players. I can't... We are in | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
Leicester to bring you the stories that matter, closer to home. | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
This is Inside Out for the East Midlands. | :01:07. | :01:16. | |
Rough sleeping has risen right across the East | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
But one charity claims that in Derby it's nearly doubled. | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
City Council cuts to homeless shelters and housing | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
So should this be a warning to other local authorities who are struggling | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
Terry Christian is back in the city he once called home to investigate. | :01:34. | :01:46. | |
It's been described as 'a stain on the city . | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
Derby has a problem and massive funding cuts have made | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
So has the City Council gone too far? | :01:56. | :02:08. | |
Derby had to make tough decisions about massive savings. It began a | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
programme of cuts and support for the city's homeless was slashed. The | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
cuts in Derby were Draconian. Among the highest anywhere and in the | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
country. You only have to go to Derby in the evening to see the | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
problem that exists there now. I've been spat at, kicked. | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
So has the City Council gone too far? | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
Is there still help out there, or is Derby the toughest place | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
in the country to find yourself without a roof over your head? | :02:40. | :02:48. | |
A casualty of the cuts is this place here on Hartington Street, | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
with 28 bedrooms, kitchens and communal facilities. | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
It provided shelter and accommodation for the homeless | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
until it was flogged off by the city council. | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
The term Homelessness covers all sorts of people. | :03:03. | :03:11. | |
At least 30 of the 60 people outside the homeless shelter have noise ago | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
today. I can't get accommodation. Under 35 | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
so I'm not eligible for help. Under 35 so I'm not | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
eligible for help. The term Homelessness covers | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
all sorts of people. From sofa surfers to those staying | :03:24. | :03:24. | |
in temporary accommodation. But what s got Derby folk talking | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
are the city s visible homeless, I get depressed. I suffer from | :03:29. | :03:45. | |
anxiety. I drink every day. It's not a lifestyle I like. | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
Derby's run by Labour, they blame Government cuts. | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
But the current situation has got Conservative councillor | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
This is an example of what's happening with the city of Derby. | :03:54. | :04:03. | |
There's either drugs or alcohol. Or it could be a combination of both. | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
This is what we've got to stop. The sooner we stop it the better. | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
You've described the homelessness in Derby as a stain on the city. I've | :04:10. | :04:22. | |
never seen anything like this in all the years I lived in Derby back in | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
the 80s. It's been difficult. Homelessness is | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
increasing. I would like to see you, I am a counsellor, I would like the | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
leadership to do more to help the homeless. | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
That's not happening at the moment. Do you think the cuts have gone to | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
deep? I think the cuts have gone far too | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
deep. I think this administration doesn't know where to spend the | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
money. It spends money on the wrong places. | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
The number of people rough sleeping here in the Midlands is way | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
It s gone up by 72% in the last five years and one local charity | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
for the homeless is keen to speak out. | :05:02. | :05:10. | |
It's not surprising that homelessness is increasing in Derby, | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
and in many cities and small towns across the East Midlands. What we've | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
seen over the last few years is progressive, very large cuts in | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
services. Sometimes a complete decommissioning of services, | :05:28. | :05:28. | |
especially homelessness prevention services. After 8pm this place | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
becomes a night shelter open during the coldest months of the year, it | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
is literally a lifeline for those without a roof overhead. It is run | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
goodwill. This is the fourth year we are running. We started four years | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
ago. We did that in response to 85% cuts to funding in Derby. The | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
biggest cut of any local authority in the country. We responded to the | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
need because we lost a hostel and accommodation in the city. We get | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
busier every year. We've been open five or six nights this year and we | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
are busier than we were last year. Support services have been severely | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
hit. There is in the support structure to have people before they | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
end up being homeless. There isn't a support structure once someone has | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
stopped being homeless. You've been homeless for three years, how much a | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
have you been given? They helped us to get where we are today. If it | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
weren't for these people I don't know what we would have ended up | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
being, prison, trouble, they've got faith in you. They stand on your own | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
two feet. I never dream that I would actually be homeless. It's something | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
that when I was younger it never crossed my mind. You just don't | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
think it. But it could happen to anybody. Is it frustrating for you | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
knowing that there are more cuts to come? Yes, there is a consultation | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
going on. We lost the 85% and they are looking | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
at whether the other 15% is needed. I struggle to believe that at all. | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
We've lost so many things already. It's just... It's just unbelievable. | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
I don't know how things will end up here in Derby. Local businesses | :07:20. | :07:31. | |
aren't happy either, they say street beggars are distracting local | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
shoppers. This has been a landmark for 50 years and Robert is fed up. | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
We are seeing street drinkers who are in various stages of drunken | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
intoxicated condition. I am not a politician. I am not responsible for | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
funding cuts. I'm a resident, a businessman, trying to provide a | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
service to my customers. It's in a locality where there is a source of | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
alcohol. These people are alcoholics and drug addicts. They should be | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
helped in a much more effective way to overcome their problems. They | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
should give am half a chance at rehabilitation. | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
It's been reported that their funding may be withdrawn | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
Riverside, the charity who runs it didn t want to take | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
We also contacted the Padley group here in the Derby, | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
they re another charity in Derby who offer support to the homeless | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
Derby City Council says the cuts from central Government mean they've | :08:39. | :08:55. | |
Over the last six years they ve had to find | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
City Councillor Fareed Hussain who's in charge of improving housing | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
These cuts are going to be devastating for the homeless. What | :09:07. | :09:22. | |
about those people who live on the street, mental health issues, | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
alcohol problems on the rest of it, are they being abandoned now? | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
Obviously these services are slightly more basic than they used | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
to be. The positive help we were offering people to get them out of | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
the spiral isn't available to the same extent. I can't deny that the | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
impact is therefore measurement, to be seen. | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
While we were filming the counsellor was approached by a man who's been | :09:50. | :09:50. | |
homeless for six months. He says he s been waiting four weeks | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
for a call back from the council. The homeless situation in Derby has | :09:53. | :10:00. | |
escalated in the last six months to a level where I didn't think it will | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
be like that in the 21st-century. We work with people to enable them to | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
get back on their feet and become useful citizens. | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
Could you point me in the right direction, IBM be ever so grateful? | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
Dean continues to sleep on a mate s sofa and for those sleeping rough, | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
well, life in Derby has just got a whole lot tougher. | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
Homelessness doesn't suddenly just magically appear. There are reasons | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
why people end up homeless. What are we doing to address that? | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
What are we doing to support people who are homeless to make sure they | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
don't end up being homeless again? That's where we need a more | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
strategic, coordinated approach. The situation is getting worse. The | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
weather is getting bad. They've been a couple of suicides. | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
I find that worrying. Is that how bad it is? | :10:53. | :11:00. | |
Yes, it's really bad. I would like a roof over my head. Just, basically, | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
to get on with my life. I'd like to work again. To just get myself back | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
together, really. Well, people who want to make | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
housing more affordable say that simply won t happen while there s | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
a shortage of properties And yet the East Midlands has | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
thousands of homes sitting vacant, So why do so many | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
properties stay empty? Nisha Chopra has been | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
investigating here in Leicester. Decaying empty houses are | :11:26. | :11:48. | |
everywhere. We are so cramped it silly. You've got so many homes, | :11:49. | :11:58. | |
houses that could be homes, sitting. We aren't talking about dozens of | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
empty houses, we are talking about thousands lying there are empty. | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
She's got a nice house here and it looks awful. You've got a home | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
sitting there, it's doing nothing, sell it. | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
We are just constantly climbing over one another. | :12:18. | :12:28. | |
She s hoping to get on the council house register because she s | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
desperate for a bigger place for her daughter and son. | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
It's silly. This tiny little house. I've got two children, one is ten. | :12:35. | :12:42. | |
Opposite sexes. They need separate rooms. It's not fair on her to be | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
sharing a room with her ten-year-old brother. | :12:48. | :12:47. | |
In the East Midlands there are more than 62,000 households | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
And yet it s estimated there are almost 20,000 properties, | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
many privately owned, which are standing empty | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
I'm not saying give me a house, you know, give it to me. But why aren't | :12:58. | :13:11. | |
they doing something with them? One of the first problem is getting an | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
empty home back into use is tracking down the owner. It's not easy. This | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
property has been empty for at least a decade. | :13:21. | :13:21. | |
Paul Palmer spends his life knocking on doors. | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
He s an empty homes consultant hired by the bigger councils | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
I was looking for the owner of the property. Can we checked out records | :13:28. | :13:46. | |
and give us a clue where he is? Thank you. Number one is finding out | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
where they are and getting properties reported to us. We have a | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
Facebook page, Leicester empty homes. People can report them to us. | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
There are so many reasons why houses are left empty. From landlords who | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
are renting them out to the houses being trashed and they don't have | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
the money to do them up again. Owners left property by a relative | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
who has passed away, they don't have the money to refurbish it. Probate | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
issues, properties get tied up for years sometimes. | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
for more properties to do up and rent. | :14:22. | :14:32. | |
Anybody know anybody that's got an empty home? This is part of the | :14:33. | :14:42. | |
problem. It's a challenge to track down owners of properties sitting | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
there doing nothing. I was in the position when I inherited my dad's | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
home, knowing I wanted to do something but not doing what. Not | :14:54. | :14:55. | |
having expertise knowledge. Myself having expertise knowledge. Myself | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
and other ethical landlords can offer ideas. | :14:59. | :15:05. | |
If anybody does see them, try to get them to start talking to either the | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
Council ought to a reputable landlord. No one is in it to | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
money. We are there to make money. money. We are there to make money. | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
We can make sure the properties are in good condition, safe, done at an | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
affordable rate. Done at an affordable cost. I've got tens, if | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
not hundreds of people who would love to live there, and need to live | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
there. We tracked down three different empty property owners but | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
none of them wanted to speak on camera. Ill-health and a family | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
dispute were just a couple of reasons as to why they had left | :15:41. | :15:41. | |
reasons as to why they had left their properties to decay. | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
to find out more about this eyesore near Leicester. | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
The owner was last seen by a neighbour 17 years ago. | :15:51. | :16:01. | |
From what we understand the owner might have been taken ill, and maybe | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
in a care home. We just had to balance behind every empty home | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
there is a story. Sometimes it makes your blood boil, but sometimes you | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
feel a bit sympathetic. However, feel a bit sympathetic. However, | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
whatever the story, something needs to be done. How long has your | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
mother-in-law been living next to less? | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
30 plus years. It's awful, frightening. You get lots of people | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
coming in. If we try to tell them anything they throw things at our | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
car. Card is here. Does this area attract anti-social behaviour? | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
Yes, people can do drug dealing is there. | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
How does that make your mother-in-law feel? Scared and | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
ashamed. She's got a nice house, and this looks very awful. Dave, you've | :16:52. | :16:59. | |
been complaining a number of times to the Council about this property, | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
tell me about it. Every time I complain to there is | :17:03. | :17:09. | |
one nor the other reason. They are not able to do anything with this | :17:10. | :17:11. | |
legal action to obtain a Compulsory Purchase Order. | :17:12. | :17:20. | |
Mark Grant works for a homeless charity in Leicester. | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
They've started buying empty homes to turn them | :17:27. | :17:28. | |
The charity got a grant, this will cost ?170,000, and about 70,000 will | :17:29. | :17:43. | |
be spent on it. and about 70,000 will be | :17:44. | :17:44. | |
spent on it. This has been empty | :17:45. | :17:46. | |
for over 12 months now. It did have students | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
in they were paying ?80 a week. Many landlords are reluctant | :17:51. | :17:52. | |
landlords they've been left properties, they think a good | :17:53. | :17:54. | |
investment, get out of their depths. This will make a great home | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
for us we'll accommodate We are able to rent this out at an | :17:58. | :18:15. | |
affordable rent. They will need a deposit or rent upfront. ?1500 a | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
week. If we could just match people week. If we could just match people | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
with these properties we could make a real difference. | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
So what are councils doing to tackle empty homes like this | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
Well they can start by increasing the owner s council tax by 50%. | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
For the growing number of empty homes officers | :18:34. | :18:35. | |
like Carole Thompson, the last resort is a | :18:36. | :18:37. | |
The owner of this place has just received one. | :18:38. | :18:48. | |
It's costly. It is time consuming. And at the end of the day we really | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
want to work with owners to help them to bring their properties back | :18:55. | :18:56. | |
into use. The government's empty homes funding | :18:57. | :18:58. | |
programme ended last September. It says the number of properties | :18:59. | :19:00. | |
empty for over six months In an ideal world, if the government | :19:01. | :19:13. | |
did have empty homes fund, would that make your job easier? It's | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
definitely would, because then we would have resources to offer more | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
incentives to owners to bring privately owned properties back into | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
use. And supplements our housing stock. This year we've bought 191 | :19:30. | :19:31. | |
This year we've bought 191 properties back into use. | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
Remember that house being done up in Leicester - | :19:35. | :19:36. | |
well one of the five new tenants who used to be homeless | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
has come to see how his new home is coming along. | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
I can see the park from here as well. It's a positive step in the | :19:46. | :19:53. | |
right direction. One step away from getting back onto my feet, getting | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
back into the working world, after a severe injury, schemes like this are | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
absolutely essential. Absolutely essential. I think it's the way | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
forward. So, Andrew is one of the lucky ones. But what this charity is | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
offering is just a drop in the ocean. The fact is we need more | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
homes and there are thousands of properties sitting empty. | :20:19. | :20:20. | |
For Sarah and her family they're still waiting for a bigger place. | :20:21. | :20:28. | |
I love you. See you in the morning. My kids, they deserve a nice home. | :20:29. | :20:43. | |
Finally tonight, just how dangerous is the beautiful game? | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
For years the Astle family from the East Midlands have been | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
campaigning to highlight the hazards of footballing head injuries. | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
Footballing legend Jeff Astle died with dementia linked to heading | :20:55. | :20:56. | |
Laura May McMullan has been investigating how gaming technology | :20:57. | :21:03. | |
may be used to stop players putting themselves at risk. | :21:04. | :21:14. | |
Both appear, certainly endorse's case to be out cold. | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
Head injuries are all too common in football. | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
But can heading the ball really cause brain damage? | :21:23. | :21:24. | |
And can players be protected by new technology? It s subject close | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
to the heart of the Astle family from Derbyshire. | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
Jeff Astle, a West Bromwich Albion legend, died | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
A coroner ruled it was brain trauma caused by heading | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
He didn t even know he d been a footballer. | :21:46. | :21:52. | |
Just the way he was prior to the disease. | :21:53. | :22:02. | |
He couldn't have had anything worse, I don t think so, because it | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
Jeff s brain was re-examined three years ago. | :22:08. | :22:16. | |
He'd actually died from CTE, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
A small independent study recently showed that other former players had | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
The Astle family say it's now time for the football authorities | :22:26. | :22:35. | |
to provide definitive answers. We've been very | :22:36. | :22:37. | |
They've let Jeff down and they ve let football down. | :22:38. | :22:45. | |
If there's one club taking head injuries seriously it's Jeff's | :22:46. | :22:54. | |
Today is match day, the Baggies are at home to Crystal Palace | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
and I've been invited along to join the medical team. | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
In two consecutive weeks, two players have had head injuries here. | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
That's the problem and Dawson we can see has been | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
knocked out cold I think. The Premier league has strict | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
And it's up to the doctor to make the call. | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
So what happens if a player suffers a head injury? | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
Well, the first thing is the medical team have to get on to the pitch, | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
Now if they're complaining of any signs of concussion, | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
if they've been knocked out, if they've got a headache, | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
feeling a bit unsteady, memory disturbance, then we need | :23:40. | :23:41. | |
Do you feel a sense of pressure when you have to make that call? | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
It's part of my job, but it's not always an easy part of the job. | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
So how do you make the medic's job easier? | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
Well, new technology may hold some of the answers. | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
Dr Michel Grey has been trialling the virtual reality device | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
to detect concussion at the University of Birmingham. | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
It is being trialled in America with a surgeon pitch side. Along with | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
clinical assessments it can detect compassion within seconds. -- | :24:22. | :24:30. | |
What we're going to ask you to do is have a look | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
at the whiteboard up here, and there'll be some instructions. | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
The idea of the test is getting the brain to do two | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
With our virtual reality balance test we re having the brain do one | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
thing and then challenge it by tilting the room and it s only | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
by doing this we see subtle changes that might not show up | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
Someone with concussion will be off balance and unable to concentrate. | :24:56. | :25:10. | |
You will have players that say "No I'm fine I'm | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
You do this test or one like it, I think those questions go away. | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
So you ve tried it for yourself, could something like this | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
I think we're looking for functional tests that allow us to make a quick | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
decision and technology such as that could potentially be very helpful. | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
In his day, Andy Gray former Villa, Wolves and West Brom striker made | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
He too believes technology could help. | :25:37. | :25:44. | |
What football has no excuse about is embracing modern technology. | :25:45. | :25:47. | |
It can't say we don't have the money, it's awash with money. | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
Paying millions and millions of pounds to footballers and then | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
worrying very little about their health. | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
It s too late to help former players. | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
Growing numbers are suffering from dementia but Dawn believes many | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
at the top of the sport are still ignoring the evidence. | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
We're going to meet Gordon Taylor, the chief executive | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
Dawn wants him to recognise the family have been telling | :26:18. | :26:24. | |
Do you think football has got a problem with former players and | :26:25. | :26:35. | |
dementia? If I look at other sports, | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
you'd have to think for obvious reasons if you're a boxer | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
and you see what happened You'd think that could well have | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
been a result of boxing. Because I can give you as many | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
former players who've had terrible problems with their hips, | :26:53. | :27:00. | |
with their knees, with their ankles. Dawn believes the PFA has a duty | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
of care to former players. We've got a fraction of | :27:06. | :27:13. | |
the resources of the Premier League, the football league, | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
the FA and Fifa. Now, I'm not passing a buck, | :27:18. | :27:19. | |
I'm not passing a buck. It's one of your former players | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
who's died of boxer's brain. You should be screaming | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
from the rooftops for these players. Clearly frustrated, | :27:28. | :27:33. | |
she leaves the room. I think if I speak to all the | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
families who I'm representing now. I think I feel bitterly, | :27:38. | :27:40. | |
bitterly let down. If you re asking me if I'm | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
frustrated, and Dawn said you can be here jumping up | :27:46. | :27:47. | |
and down and screaming. You need to be more | :27:48. | :27:50. | |
professional than that. But anyone who knows me will know | :27:51. | :27:52. | |
and will see the evidence that we ve been knocking on this door | :27:53. | :27:55. | |
for a long, long time The FA declined to give us | :27:56. | :27:58. | |
an interview, but along with other associations they're now | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
going to fund a 'six-figure study' looking at the possible | :28:04. | :28:06. | |
link between dementia And for current players | :28:07. | :28:10. | |
and youngsters, just a few hunred pounds on new technology could help | :28:11. | :28:18. | |
prevent brain injuries Here's a look ahead | :28:19. | :28:22. | |
to next week s programme. Can politicians really | :28:23. | :28:36. | |
make a difference? I take it incredibly seriously, it's | :28:37. | :28:45. | |
I have got a whole. I know we've got their local MP for help? | :28:46. | :28:53. | |
I have got a whole. I know we've got rats. | :28:54. | :29:05. | |
