The UK Government is looking into a potential pitch for the north of England to host the Olympics in the 2040s. 

The assessment will examine the costs and socio-economic benefits, as well as the likelihood of bidding success. 

UK Correspondent Enda Brady told Mike Hosking the move seems far-fetched, given the present political turmoil. 

He says that in its current state, he doesn't think England is capable of hosting Eurovision, let alone the Olympic Games.  

London has hosted the Games in 1908, 1948 and 2012.
