3:02 am
will not be disturbed. >> and whatever protest and other events go on, we will do our utmost to protect those because they are so critical. people shouldn't be in fear that those are going to be compromised and we will do everything possible to make sure they're not. and the second point about protests, though, there be protest this there will be a protest this weekend. parliament is very clear about that. the law provides no mechanism to ban a gathering, a static protest , a gathering, a static protest, a rally, anything like that . rally, anything like that. >> sir mark rowley there. now let's bring you a bit more detail on that breaking news. we brought to you an hour ago concerning events in yorkshire where police have launched a murder investigation after a 15 year old boy died after being stabbed outside a school in leeds earlier , the teenager had leeds earlier, the teenager had been rushed to hospital in a critical condition following the assault in horsforth just after 3:00 this afternoon. a teenager has been arrested in connection with the incident. the headteacher of horsforth north school says the boy who was

3:04 am
>> good evening. at the end of a tory government, the best thing they can offer in the king's speech today is a plan to get us off cigarettes . rishi sunak's off cigarettes. rishi sunak's premiership is going up in smoke with even tory backbenchers looking like they want to be stubbed out a measly total of 21 laws were announced by a stately king charles, who looked about as unexcited as the rest of us. even with a double espresso , i even with a double espresso, i struggled to stay awake for this one. where is the tangible action to stop illegal immigration? where is the plan for economic growth with taxes on business and individuals at a record high, where is the much needed reform of our nhs? once our pride and joy and now a national embarrassment ? where is national embarrassment? where is the plan to make the nhs leaner, meaner and better? i awoke from my slumber briefly this afternoon with the announcement about driverless cars . what about driverless cars. what a great metaphor for this current administration, but there were
3:05 am
some positives tougher sentences for murderers and rapists and deaung for murderers and rapists and dealing with antisocial behaviour. if nadine dorries new bookis behaviour. if nadine dorries new book is to be believed, they should start with tory backbenchers . there's a backbenchers. there's a crackdown on bad landlords. the axing of those dreadful leaseholds on properties and a clear message to the energy industry drill, baby, drill. with his sensible approach to net zero. rishi sunak could turn the tide on the labour landslide. the pm is set to approve scores of oil and gas licences , which will guarantee licences, which will guarantee supply in the years ahead. why so that we're not reliant on vladimir putin for gas. so that we're not reliant on vladimir putin for gas . the wise vladimir putin for gas. the wise decision to give petrol and diesel cars a five year stay of execution and allowing people to continue using perfectly functional gas boilers is the one thing which can give his own party a glimmer of hope. pushing back on the global green agenda with all its powerful interest
3:06 am
groups shows political and moral courage from the prime minister. something sorely lacking from the cervix. free leader of the opposition, sir keir starmer , a opposition, sir keir starmer, a man whose bendier than uri geller, spoon this guy will morph into any shape you want him to. he wanted to cancel brexit with a second referendum, but now he's its biggest champion . he campaigned for champion. he campaigned for jeremy corbyn, his friend, to be prime minister , but went on to prime minister, but went on to expel him from the party. he vocally supports the war dead and israel , vocally supports the war dead and israel, but vocally supports the war dead and israel , but mysteriously and israel, but mysteriously forgets to wear a poppy whilst addressing british muslims. was that an accident like labour's say, poppycock ? and if starmer say, poppycock? and if starmer gets in, he will risk our energy supply and potentially spike energy costs and therefore inflation by betting the house on flaky renewables. even though a recent auction of wind farm licences saw no takers from the private sector. make of that,
3:07 am
what you will. starmer wants to gamble borrowed billions your money and mine on a 1970s style energy company called great british energy , which i fear british energy, which i fear will be a great british disaster. so whilst today's king's speech was about as exciting as a night on the tiles with mary berry, the message to the public remains the same . the the public remains the same. the tories are terrible , but labour tories are terrible, but labour would be worse off. is that enough to help the tories in what is now expected to be a surprise? may election? i wouldn't hold my breath. your reaction ? market gbnews.com. reaction? market gb news.com. let's reaction? market gbnews.com. let's get the thoughts now of my very explosive panel. former cabinet minister gb news star esther mcvey , mp banker and esther mcvey, mp banker and visiting professor derek lord and author and journalist rebecca reid. rebecca, let me start with you. your reaction to the king's speech today. did you hear what you wanted to. >> first of all, i think he did a lovely job and i think he should be very proud of himself because that's got to be quite a
3:08 am
big moment. yes. >> obviously the king, not rishi. >> no, no, no, no. we're going to come on to that. the king fan of the kings. i was really struck by american felt. struck by how american it felt. i that rishi is creating i think that rishi is creating a sort of palo alto, california vibe the ai, the vibe here. so the ai, the driverless cars or the smoke free environment, is a very free environment, that is a very kind californian tech bro kind of californian tech bro kind of californian tech bro kind lifestyle. kind of lifestyle. >> what does rishi >> at what point does rishi sunak think sunak smoke marijuana? i think on air, you know, i would love that. >> and that might be like a bit more even moving towards one sort of qualification at the end of school is the american education think education system. and i think we've all heard rumours that he's one on he's kind of got one eye on california. don't go california. if things don't go the wants to after the the way he wants to after the election. and i think maybe he's either way, he wants to create that world himself here he that world for himself here he spends of on those spends a lot of time on those kinds of people. clearly has kinds of people. he clearly has some elon musk, which some time for elon musk, which i find and think that find confusing. and i think that i feel that. but it i can really feel that. but it didn't confusing likes didn't confusing that he likes a champion free speech, champion of free speech, champion of free speech, but a very odd, very gauche man with very, very, very worrying attitude ai. okay attitude towards ai. okay i'm i'm the that i'm concerned by the fact that this feel very british.

3:10 am
have a nice long sleep. esther you need a rest. >> five years out of office. regroup your regroup rediscover your conservative values. that's all very socialist to say very kind of socialist to say that, i don't obviously that, but i don't obviously agree all. agree with it at all. >> know. so no carry on. >> but you know. so no carry on. >> but you know. so no carry on. >> what you make of the >> what did you make of the king's were you happy king's speech were you happy with it? because, of course, it's the programme of your government. >> well, what would say more >> well, what i would say more and legislation regulating >> well, what i would say more ara legislation regulating >> well, what i would say more ara socialist|islation regulating >> well, what i would say more ara socialist utopia. regulating is a socialist utopia. conservatives actually conservatives don't actually want more legislation. want more and more legislation. and want to and that's not what we want to do. but what i will say for me personally, when talk about personally, when you talk about the where the country is the tax and where the country is going, my moment i'll going, my big moment i'll be looking the budget the looking at the budget and the autumn i want tax to autumn statement. i want tax to come and will be come down and that will be happening there. i want happening there. so i want corporation down, corporation tax down, inheritance down, and inheritance tax down, and obviously levels of obviously those higher levels of tax down. so i will tax to come down. so i will be looking budget you looking at the budget then. you talked immigration. talked about the immigration. well, already well, those laws are already through. we have the illegal migration bill. so what we need there is the supreme court judgement to go through. so these are things and you are right, it's the last year probably we think probably or whenever we think it's be before the it's going to be before the general election. so you don't put loads stuff in now. put loads of stuff in now. so
3:11 am
you this time 21 you heard this time round 21 bills with seven carried over. you over things over you can't carry over things over a in a general election. so what you'd find is you'd have to try and get everything through which ends grubby deals to ends up in maybe grubby deals to try things through. try and get things through. things down with the things watered down with the house of lords. that's one house of lords. so that's one reason probably wouldn't be reason you probably wouldn't be putting through rishi putting too much through rishi is completer so that is a completer finisher, so that which totally understand what which i totally understand what you meant. you felt it was very much a ticking off list. much like a ticking off list. i think there was complete finish. have this? the have we done this? the immigration an to get done immigration an got to get done and got to have that and we've got to have that supreme court judgement and then the talked about the other thing you talked about like need laws like the nhs doesn't need laws for to get working for that to get working properly. got to sort out properly. we've got to sort out the industrial action and we've got list got to get the waiting list down. so i think that's what you've got to see. where is it in political cycle? yes he in the political cycle? yes he needs complete needs to complete and finish a lot of those things didn't need laws. actually the laws. they actually need the supreme judgement, supreme court judgement, the work and the work to come through and the budget, is what i'm budget, which is what i'm interested taxes coming down. >> did the king's speech reflect a that's running out a government that's running out of derek and running out of ideas? derek and running out
3:12 am
of ideas? derek and running out of steam and running out of time? >> i, i have met every person that's been prime minister since douglas hume rishi sunak. >> you're not that old. >> you're not that old. >> no. rishi sunak rishi sunak is the only prime minister. i have not so far met. he's taken a year to say how do you do to the nation? it was a damp handshake. the nation? it was a damp handshake . look, for me, i'm handshake. look, for me, i'm very disappointed by the king's speech. i don't think that the proposals in it will change the dial for the conservative party, which is very much needs id, and i think that the real consequence of these proposals will be blue on blue fights because there's so much in it that's profoundly anti—liberal . that's profoundly anti—liberal. >> rachel rebecca, i am quite a libertarian person. i like a little intervention in life as possible. i would overturn the
3:13 am
smoking ban. i would say that if you have a pub, you should be able to decide what happens in there. to did feel there. and to me this did feel very it like very intervention. it feels like he is quite to left wing even for you. no, no, no. i a left wing does not mean you want to be told what to do. i hate authority. drives me mad. authority. it drives me mad. but he really just kind he feels like really just kind of feels like quite a strict dad to me sometimes. and i kind of want please leave me want to be like, please leave me alone. can i give a high five? >> because you're quite right. i actually don't think it's also workable. okay. how are you going say to somebody when going to say to somebody when the no, you can't have a the 55 no, you can't have a cigarette going cigarette and they're to going be pretending a year be pretending they're a year old? 55. i'm 56. give me old? i'm not 55. i'm 56. give me a pack of. i think it'll be unworkable. now, listen, i happen think you are the happen to think you are the a—list tonight. a—list panel tonight. >> i did ask you to talk >> i did ask you not to talk over each other, didn't over each other, but i didn't say should agree. say you should agree. >> i well, we're all shocked on that one. >> tell you. you're all >> let me tell you. you're all talking rubbish. anyway, there's only care about, only one opinion i care about, andifs only one opinion i care about, and it's yours. what you and it's yours. what do you think? mark gbnews.com. your reaction heard in reaction to what you've heard in the still to come the king's speech. still to come in, a dramatic to royal
3:14 am
in, a dramatic twist to royal snub an almighty public snub gate, an almighty public row out between the row has broken out between the palace sussexes with palace and the sussexes with harry insisting king harry and meghan insisting king charles them to charles did not invite them to his birthday bash they're his 75th birthday bash they're not for christmas. not even invited for christmas. the insider levin the royal insider angela levin cuts to cuts through the noise to deliver the truth on this bombshell story shortly. but next in the clash, as pro next up in the clash, as pro palestine protesters vandalised rochdale's the rochdale's cenotaph. should the government the bullets and government bite the bullets and ban marches on armistice day? excursion colonel philip ingram takes on human rights lawyer shoaib khan in a few moments time. sparks will fly.
3:18 am
pm. on gb news, the people's channel pm. on gb news, the people's channel, britain's news channel . channel, britain's news channel. >> well, a big reaction to my big opinion. it was the king's speech. and i'll be honest, i thought it was thin gruel. alastair says. good evening, mark. mr starmer is a political disaster waiting to happen. however, the conservative lives have missed the boat on this and have missed the boat on this and have missed the boat on this and have missed stopping the boats hiding behind the echr. they've also missed the opportunity to reduce the tax burden by increasing the income tax threshold. may be just maybe this has been saved for the autumn statement. what an astute email, alastair. i've got to say , i think the king's speech was the quiet before the storm. you wait for that autumn statement. i think there are goodies in santas sack now angela levin and richard tice on the way. but it's richard tice on the way. but wsfime richard tice on the way. but it's time now for the clash . and it's time now for the clash. and breaking tonight , protesters breaking tonight, protesters have vandalised the rochdale cenotaph with free palestine in
3:19 am
graffiti in the latest assault against british war memorials. greater manchester police have said that officers have been stationed beside the cenotaph to stand guard, which is currently being treated as a crime scene . being treated as a crime scene. but on this occasion it's too little , too late. this week of little, too late. this week of all weeks , police forces up and all weeks, police forces up and down the country should be deployed to protect the memorial for war dead. that is my for our war dead. that is my view. i think cops should protect our history, our values , protect our history, our values, and the memory of those who gave their lives for the freedom we now enjoy . the incident comes as now enjoy. the incident comes as a spokesperson for rishi sunak revealed the prime minister believes a planned pro—palestinian march would be provocative and disrespectful while with the met. police also urging protesters to urgently reconsider. but police chief sir mark rowley has stopped short of banning saturday's protest because he says the threshold for disorder has not been met. but is he passing the buck? so tonight, i'm asking in the clash, should the government ban
3:20 am
marches on armistice day? let me know your thoughts. mark gb news dot com or tweet me at gb news and do vote in the poll. but to debate this, delighted to debate this, i'm delighted to welcome colonel philip ingram and human rights lawyer shoaib khan. me start with khan. shoaib, let me start with you think it's rather you. don't you think it's rather unedifying for the police to be begging groups not to begging these groups not to protest at a time when we are there remember our war dead ? there to remember our war dead? >> no, you're right. it is unedifying to be begging them not to protest. they should be allowed to protest. i don't know why anyone's doing that. what we need to be doing. what obviously we be understood to be the case anyway. responsible , anyway. what the responsible, mature the police mature leadership or the police would is just people would do is just remind people obviously , don't be violent, obviously, don't be violent, don't be disruptive . we don't don't be disruptive. we don't want tensions. there want community tensions. there so, you know, i mean, obviously, if we had mature leadership, so, you know, i mean, obviously, if we iwhat mature leadership, so, you know, i mean, obviously, if we iwhat matur
3:21 am
freedoms, this is the freedom that they were fighting so that they were fighting for. so we allow our enemies in we didn't allow our enemies in world i to away these world war i to take away these freedoms. now allow the freedoms. and now we allow the metropolitan or the tory metropolitan police or the tory leadership now to take those freedoms think have freedoms away. i think have anything. that is the anything. mr khan that is the day that is the day day we need to that is the day we need be out there we need to be out there protesting. they have always been officers during remembrance sunday, day , law and sunday, armistice day, law and order is always kept . order is always kept. >> there are always troublemakers and i think the met police and the government should put their foot down and make sure that those who gave their lives for the freedom that we are actually we now enjoy are actually properly, properly honoured . mr properly, properly honoured. mr khan oh, sorry. >> me again . khan oh, sorry. >> me again. no, but khan oh, sorry. >> me again . no, but that's the >> me again. no, but that's the thing. i mean, why would they be dishonoured by that? the whole point is armistice day ceasefire are dishonoured by people chanting messages of hate . on chanting messages of hate. on that. i mean, we don't think that. i mean, we don't think that i mean, as far as i know, that's not even on the route. no one had even thought of the cenotaph or whitehall before the
3:22 am
home secretary started speaking about this. no one even connected that's not where connected that. that's not where we're would we're going. that's not. would there be any hate marches on this sacred weekend? >> ? >> shoaib? >> shoaib? >> i know what you mean by >> i don't know what you mean by hate marches. >> they protest >> should they be protest marches in which hate is being hate is being yelled out. >> people are calling for an intifada holy a jihad . intifada, a holy war, a jihad. jewish people afraid to leave their homes. the last four weekends. why should we have that this coming weekend when we're there to remember the heroes of the first and second world war? >> because this is exactly what our heroes died and fought for. this freedom, these protections thatis this freedom, these protections that is what we're supposed to be doing. they fought for peace. they fought for an armistice then. an armistice is what then. and an armistice is what these people want now. >> ex—colonel philip ingram, your thoughts on this, sir, in a way , our other guest is way, our other guest is describing what he's describing as completely accurate. >> you know, we did fight for the freedoms of this country, but we also respect that there's a little bit of decorum . you'll a little bit of decorum. you'll not people going and
3:23 am
not find people going and protesting if they disagree outside synagogues or outside churches at christmas or outside mosques, at different times, if they disagree with what's going on. think the metropolitan on. and i think the metropolitan police quite mature in police were quite mature in asking the organisers just to postpone it, not to cancel it. and we've already started to see where extreme elements of those that are latching on to the perfectly legitimate and peaceful protests are carrying out acts of vandalism or violent acts. we saw the attacking of a poppy acts. we saw the attacking of a poppy seller in waverley station, edinburgh last night. we've seen the daubing of pro—palestinian graffiti on the memorial in rochdale and the police are now having to guard that. we've had statements in the daily mail that football thugs are going to try and protect the cenotaph in london. well, all that's going to do is stir things up. and we've got those that are coming into the pro—palestine march coming through the same railway stations as the veterans who'll be in their medals and wearing
3:24 am
their berries and getting ready for armistice day on saturday and for remembrance sunday on on sunday. and that is going to be a point of real friction that's there . if the marchers, the there. if the marchers, the pro—palestine marchers respected the fact that they've been given this freedom to march because people have sacrificed their lives and they put that respect back again, i think they would hold a much better place in people's hearts in the country. it's just showing little decorum. >> colonel , decorum. >> colonel, does it decorum. >> colonel , does it show decorum. >> colonel, does it show up? >> colonel, does it show up? >> can have a very good point. but if you were to ban demonstrations weekend , is demonstrations this weekend, is that not against british values as it is until it gets to the point where you identify a potential growing threat? >> because it's armistice weekend and because it's remembrance weekend and because you've got so many friction points there, we've seen extreme elements trying to hijack elements trying to hijack elements of the march with their pro—hamas cries with a pro—hamas symbology and therefore
3:25 am
countering the terrorism act. this is too good an opportunity for that not to grow and for potentially terrorism to grow out of it. we have to recognise that the police are there to keep the public safe. first and foremost, and if they feel that the march going ahead is going to make the public less safe, it's within their powers to ban it. and i think we're on that cusp point at the moment. >> so the bottom line is, don't you think this rather sacred weekend, it's disrespectful for anyone to go on a march other than to remember the war dead? it's about the timing. they can go on friday, they can go on monday, but not armistice day, not remembrance sunday. it's about the timing plus , many about the timing plus, many march in peace, but there's no way that everyone will behave themselves . themselves. >> no, but that's exactly the thing . isn't armistice day. the thing. isn't armistice day. the day for peace, isn't it? exactly about ceasefire, isn't it? exactly about people laying down their weapons and coming together and. >> yes. and it's not the day to call for a holy war.
3:26 am
>> of course it isn't. and but do we think friday is fine for that? are you thinking are you saying friday is fine for that? i don't think you are. >> and that's no day is fine for that, but particularly not saturday and sunday when we remember two world remember our heroes of two world wars. no particularly wars. there's no particularly about that. >> there's particularly >> there's no particularly about that. doing that. what we shouldn't be doing that. what we shouldn't be doing that we shouldn't do a day that day. we shouldn't do a day before, but we shouldn't do a day before. do that day before. we shouldn't do that day. we can do and should day. what we can do and should do should encourage is a do and should encourage is a peaceful and a march on peaceful protest and a march on that day of the that day, on the day of the trouble organisers can't trouble is the organisers can't control everyone there. control everyone that's there. >> seen that in >> and we've seen that in all the marches they've been to the marches that they've been to date therefore can't date and therefore we can't guarantee to guarantee it's going to be peaceful saturday sunday peaceful on saturday and sunday and the organisers and therefore if the organisers can't that, if they can't guarantee that, if they wanted show some decorum to wanted to show some decorum to the country and to some the country and to get some respect for the legitimate peaceful marches on behalf of the palestinian people , they the palestinian people, they would cancel it this would then cancel it this weekend no, we're going weekend and say no, we're going to recognise the that we've to recognise the fact that we've got freedom to march in our got the freedom to march in our country because these people have laid down lives for have laid down their lives for us to be allowed to do that. so
3:27 am
we're to step back and we're going to step back and respect them on the two days that they're asking for respect and we'll carry on our our and then we'll carry on our our peaceful protests in the future that will help not just the pubuc that will help not just the public opinion, it will help the police at a very difficult time. >> shahab khan, final thoughts, briefly, if you can. >> i mean, to be honest, i don't think that's a particularly logical point to make. so these people died and fought for us. they laid down lives for they laid down their lives for our now we have those our freedoms. now we have those freedoms let's them up freedoms. so let's give them up just a few disruptive just because a few disruptive elements hijack plan. elements might hijack this plan. i don't agree with that. i i just don't agree with that. i think that very day we think that is the very day we need to be out there showing support for peace, calling for an calling for an armistice, calling for a ceasefire. that is exactly the day. and that anyone day. and anything that anyone should other day should be doing, any other day shouldn't allowed. if shouldn't be allowed. then if the police feels has to step shouldn't be allowed. then if thestepce feels has to step shouldn't be allowed. then if thestep in,feels has to step shouldn't be allowed. then if thestep in, ifels has to step shouldn't be allowed. then if thestep in, if the has to step shouldn't be allowed. then if the step in, if the government in, step in, if the government feels has to ban it, ban it, feels it has to ban it, ban it, but only only when it reaches but only if only when it reaches that point. and now, i would that point. and for now, i would expect not reached that expect it's not reached that point. and that's why the government hasn't it. government hasn't banned it. >> fascinating >> gentlemen, a fascinating

debate. >> gentlemen, a fascinating delyour time. human rights for your time. human rights lawyer and ex colonel philip ingram. well folks, what do you think? mark gbviews@gbnews.com ruth has emailed in and says, my heart is with the victims of the horrible war in israel, in gaza, but our veterans need this day and should be stopped , and the march should be stopped, chris we should stop the chris says. we should stop the march. it's so disrespectful and frankly, it's dangerous to let it go ahead. paul says. of course not. marches and protests are of democracy for are part of the democracy for which people lost their which these people lost their lives. police should have lives. the police should have the resources to the necessary resources to handle situations like this. and your verdict is in the results of the poll are now live of 85% of the poll are now live of 85% of you agree that the government should ban marches on armistice day 15% say they should not. coming up with a slimmed down king's speech is rishi sunak plotting a surprise may election 7 plotting a surprise may election ? and is that what the country needs ? i'll be asking the leader needs? i'll be asking the leader of reform uk richard tice who's live in the studio shortly. but first in a sensational twist to royal snub, gates , an almighty
3:29 am
royal snub, gates, an almighty pubuc royal snub, gates, an almighty public row, has broken out between the palace and the sussexes , with harry and meghan sussexes, with harry and meghan insisting that king charles did not invite them to his 75th birthday bash . plus, they're not birthday bash. plus, they're not ianed birthday bash. plus, they're not invited for christmas. royal insider angela levin offers her stinging analysis on harry and meghan's latest fallout with the king. and that's
3:33 am
six till 930. gb news star and leader of reform uk richard tice, coming up with rumours of an earlier than expected election in may of next year. >> is that what britain needs? but first, it's time for fearless journalist and leading royal biographer angela levin. and there's been another dramatic twist to royal snub gate with an almighty public row breaking out between buckingham palace and the duke and duchess of sussex. after the sunday times reported that the pair turned down an invite to the king's 75th birthday bash. the sussexes have sensationally hit back. sussexes have sensationally hit back . a spokesperson for the back. a spokesperson for the couple has said there has been no contact regarding an invitation to his majesty's upcoming birthday. it's disappointing. the sunday times has misreported this story. crumbs. i wonder if they they're going to sue the sunday times anyway . a source close to the anyway. a source close to the pair told the mail online considering the trip to kenya didn't go well, this might be a welcome distraction for now. gb news also understands that harry and meghan haven't received an
3:34 am
invite to spend christmas with the rest of the royals, so angela levin, who to believe ? angela levin, who to believe? >> well, i wouldn't believe harry and meghan. we've got an unknown unnamed person saying all sorts of things we can't believe a word of it. i mean, we're so used to them twisting things . but we're so used to them twisting things. but also the sunday times is a very respectable paper and the royal head of that is also very careful and well respected. so no, i don't believe that i'm sure she's right and they're wrong . but i right and they're wrong. but i think it was just a trick. if somebody doesn't invite you to something and or they said they've invited you, not going and you don't want to go, then you just shut up, don't you? you don't have to make that in a great bonfire of anger and say, you know, they're wrong. this is wrong. it's outrage . rageous why wrong. it's outrage. rageous why just be quiet. it shows that they're actually reading the
3:35 am
press very , very carefully. they press very, very carefully. they say they're not out, but they obviously are to come back with this bonfire very quickly afterwards . it's a nonsense. and afterwards. it's a nonsense. and actually, i think it's quite right for king charles not to invite them . what i suggest he invite them. what i suggest he said is that, you know, if you want to come, the door is open. he's done that a great deal. but he's not going to go through all the problem. and i don't think harry and meghan are going to go. meghan can't bear this country anyway. but we'll go unless they apologise . unless unless they apologise. unless his father and william apologise to meghan, but what? they need to meghan, but what? they need to apologise to her for nobody knows but his daughter. and not to give in at all. and so all this nonsense, childlike behaviour is just actually to put their names in the paper. >> i just wonder if the couple are relishing this drama because victimhood is their currency. >> yes , they are victims. now, >> yes, they are victims. now, the interesting part,
3:36 am
millionaire victims . yes. millionaire. >> anonymous. california mansion. yes. >> with royal titles . >> with royal titles. >> with royal titles. >> 16. >> 16. >> 16. >> 16 bathrooms. >> 16 bathrooms. >> yes . >> yes. >> yes. >> which one of them is incontinent, i wonder? >> i don't know. i don't know. i wouldn't ask . but the wouldn't ask. but the interesting thing is that meghan was told by her new agent that she's got to be happy, she's got to be jolly. no more being a victim because people are fed up with it. they're not interested in including in america. >> they don't like that, particularly in america. >> and so i think that she's passing all this on when she's not saying it, but it's coming through. and that could lead us on to scobie, who's done this awful book. >> well, indeed. let's let's talk about that, because this is quite a story. and this is of course, the sussexes biographer , course, the sussexes biographer, omid scobie, a close friend of the couple, is preparing to release his new book end game, which promises to be nothing less than explosive. scobie will brand the king as unpopular and
3:37 am
prince william as a power hungry heir whilst portraying harry as the prince forced to start a new life after being betrayed by his own family. so this there's also there's camilla there for a queen willing to go to dangerous lengths to, prison , serve her image. >> now , all that is not true. i >> now, all that is not true. i mean, the king is very popular. he was popular from the moment the queen died. there were thousands of people around buckingham palace which astonished him. he was very popular when he went to germany and to france and in africa. he hasn't put a foot wrong so far. no, he hasn't put a foot wrong so far. and so he is very popular . and to talk about that, popular. and to talk about that, about william , harry knows when about william, harry knows when he was young, he didn't want to be a king. but now he's accepted his responsibility and he's working really hard on it. i think it's very spiteful . no, think it's very spiteful. no, but my view on this one is that that meghan has been told, as i
3:38 am
just said, not to moan , so she just said, not to moan, so she can't actually get ahead with her memoirs, which was going to be full of yet how badly she was treated. so she's got old scobie to do it for her. if you remember back to the other book he wrote about, she said she had nothing to do with it, nothing at all. and then she ended up in court apologising, saying she forgot that that she told the aide could actually talk to him. and tell him lots of things. so this one is going to be exactly the same. um, full of lies, full of unkindness , full of of unkindness, full of spitefulness, which is going to hurt them just before christmas . hurt them just before christmas. and i think that they can not get it out of their system, that they actually live your life. no one's stopping them with their life and get on with it. >> so it's worth pointing out that we have no evidence that the sussexes spoke to omid scobie in relation to either of his books, but of course that is your view and it is my view, yes. briefly, on the flip side, are this couple not being
3:39 am
treated badly? harry and meghan, they've been hounded out of the country. move to country. they've had to move to america they're still america and they're still getting the press, getting dissed by the press, including i. including you and i. >> that's because they've >> well, that's because they've become unpleasant. they're so become so unpleasant. they're so nasty, they're so awful about things . and also they're i call things. and also they're i call them eco hypocrites because they're going so many times in private planes and yet they're telling us that we absolutely must not do that. harry set up this travel, travel list, which which is when you go away, you're very careful where you go and how you go. and you don't use planes and all that. and he's the patron of that. and he's the patron of that. and he's just doing absolutely the opposite of what he's telling us to do. >> i'm offended by the suggestion meghan made omid suggestion meghan made by omid scobie this book that our scobie in this book that our next king, king william, who's a wonderful ambassador for the country, is somehow power hungry. how can he be power hungry. how can he be power hungry ? he's going to be king. hungry? he's going to be king. >> he's got the power already. yes. >> i mean, have you noticed any power hungry traits william? power hungry traits by william? >> work very hard,
3:40 am
>> i've seen him work very hard, but empire builder? no but is he an empire builder? no he's a very happy man. now, with a happy family and wants to do what actually his father wants as well. they have very similar connections. >> speaking of similar briefly, he's in singapore for the earthshot awards , which is a big earthshot awards, which is a big eco event. are you worried that prince william is now doing the eco bidding for his own father ? eco bidding for his own father? >> i think that he probably doing a bit because he believes what his father believes in. it's not doing that because he's just trying to please his father. they both agree on this. they've had many, many conversations about it. does he really think that or is he just trying to keep dad happy? no, i think he really thinks that because he something very because he wanted something very important but also important to do. but i also think he's showing how lazy harry is because harry was talking about, you harry is because harry was talking about , you know, we harry is because harry was talking about, you know, we must be very careful about all, you know, the weather and all that, but he's doing nothing at all about it. so william can actually show him up . if you
3:41 am
actually show him up. if you look at the two brothers, you see one is not making it and the other is working very hard and putting a lot of effort into things. >> well, i do like william, but i'm slightly worried he's becoming the greta thunberg of the royal family. but listen , the royal family. but listen, we'll there and we look we'll leave it there and we look forward very forward to catching up very soon. fact, thank you for soon. in fact, thank you for joining me on my show on sunday night for the last word 1045. night for the last word at 1045. it's the last word with it's always the last word with the brilliant angela levin. thank as thank you, angela. coming up, as it's a former hamas it's revealed, a former hamas chief is among those organising marches armistice day. marches on armistice day. there's surprise. there's a surprise. are well—meaning protesters, the terror , useful idiots? my terror groups, useful idiots? my panel debate that shortly. but next with a slimmed down king's speech is rishi sunak plotting a surprise rise may election and is that what the country needs? i'll be asking the leader of reform uk richard tice live in the studio. plus, if richard tice was prime minister, how would he be handling pro—palestine protests ? that's .

october the 7th. hamas terror attack on israel. so hundreds of people gathered outside downing street to hold a memorial vigil for those who've died in the conflict . but meanwhile , the conflict. but meanwhile, the government is saying it will carefully consider any application by police to prevent protests planned for remembrance weekend . and the metropolitan weekend. and the metropolitan police is asking organisers to urgently reconsider marches planned for london this weekend because of the police's assessment of the risk of violence . but the violence. but the pro—palestinian coalition are refusing to cancel the march . refusing to cancel the march. police could request it's banned if there's a threat of serious pubuc if there's a threat of serious public disorder there. but met police chief sir mark rowley said the police will do all it can to protect. remember events. the remember events will not be disturbed . disturbed. >> whatever protests or events go on, we will do our utmost to protect those because they are so critical. people shouldn't be
4:02 am
in fear that those are going to be compromised and we will do everything possible to make sure they're not. the second point about though , there about protests, though, there will be a protest this weekend. parliament's very clear about that. parliament's very clear about that . the law provides hides no that. the law provides hides no mechanism to ban a gathering, a static protest, a rally, anything like that. smart rowley speaking there. >> now, prince harry has delivered a special message of hope to military veterans in the united states attending an event in new york, the duke of sussex's video message was played at the 17th annual stand up played at the 17th annual stand up for heroes event at the lincoln centre yesterday . the lincoln centre yesterday. the prince cracked a few jokes, but also spoke more seriously about what he described as the hugely important closeness of the military community. prince harry is a patron of the invictus games , a sports tournament games, a sports tournament uniquely for injured servicemen and women. this is gb news across the uk on tv , in your

4:04 am
mcvey mp quite sparkling tonight by anchor and visiting professor derek lord and author and journalist rebecca reid. now revelations have exposed bombshell connections between terror group hamas and organisers of this weekend's controversial pro—palestine rally on armistice day. one of hamas's former terror chiefs , hamas's former terror chiefs, mohamed suella, is founder of the muslim association of britain, or the mab. one of six groups behind saturday's event, which cops have begged organisers to cancel. israeli authorities claim his son, obada suella, is now the mab's vice president. so all came to the uk on a relative's passport in the 1990s and was given citizenship in the early 2000. he's accused of running hamas's terrorist operation on the west bank and plotting atrocities in israel. charming well, suella now lives in a north london council house, which he recently bought at a knockdown price under the uk's right to buy scheme . it comes as
4:05 am
right to buy scheme. it comes as the daily telegraph reports that half of the group's organising saturday's march have links to hamas. so esther, what do you think about this ? think about this? >> as in which. >> as in which. >> yeah, i mean, first of all pointed out quite a few points, so correct. correct. i mean, the bottom line is i just think it reduces the authority of these marches even further. if know marches even further. if we know that there figures helping that there are figures helping organise are connected organise them who are connected to . to terror. >> yeah. mean, i thought and >> yeah. i mean, i thought and i've been working this through , i've been working this through, who would want to go on this march? why would you want to go on this march? what reaction are you trying to do? what triggering are you trying to do? you're talking about of you're talking about some of them might well—meaning, but them might be well—meaning, but i'm you? well, i'm thinking, are you? well, meaning so much the meaning it means so much to the british people. why would you do something inflame something that could inflame a situation? so when you're saying there could be some there there could be some people there who meaning, well, i'm who are well meaning, well, i'm wondering who there's quite a big presumption. wondering who there's quite a big presuare:ion. wondering who there's quite a big presuare they wondering who there's quite a big presu are they the wondering who there's quite a big presuare they the people wondering who there's quite a big presu are they the people who >> well, are they the people who are about children, are worried about children, women, dying in gaza and
4:06 am
women, men dying in gaza and then i looked and if you were well meaning and if you were worried about that, you'd say, well, hang on a sec. >> today isn't the day is what i'm thinking. you'd say today. i want make that. it's a fair want to make that. it's a fair point to raise. i want to make an on but you know an issue on it. but you know what? today isn't the and what? today isn't the day. and then i looked as you rightly pointed out, who are the people organising these protests? well, like the like you say, 50% of the organisers are linked to serious groups that have got considerable links to hamas. so they're not well meaning either they're not well meaning either they are extreme people taking to the streets . and so i'm to the streets. and so i'm looking at what is the make up of those people and it does not bode well. >> well, yes . i bode well. >> well, yes. i mean, bode well. >> well, yes . i mean, derek, >> well, yes. i mean, derek, you've got the chanting, haven't you, calling for a jihad, calling for an intifada, which basically means suicide bombs in restaurants and on buses . you've restaurants and on buses. you've got calls for a holy war, anti semitic chanting. and now proven links to hamas. semitic chanting. and now proven links to hamas . these marches links to hamas. these marches have got to stop. well yes and ho. [10. >> no.
4:07 am
>> look, 29% of those people polled in this country don't know whether or not hamas is a terrorist organisation, probably because they watch the bbc and if you're between the ages of 18 and 24, the figure goes up to 49. so there is a significant problem. secondly, i think i must say very strongly that at the united kingdom isn't a satellite of israel. we are a democratic country with our own laws and people are entitled to march whether we like it or whether we don't. that's why people actually went to war because they didn't want to live under a totalitarian regime . and under a totalitarian regime. and thatis under a totalitarian regime. and that is actually worth defending , particularly on armistice day. i don't like hamas and it's right to say, however, that there are two wings to hamas . there are two wings to hamas. one is the proscribed organisation because of its terrorist activities and the other is a political organisation which is entirely legal. so we want to be absolutely sure that we're targeting the right people when we are very, very opposed to them having the right to demonstrate on armistice day. >> well, i just wonder whether
4:08 am
these marches now have no moral authority. >> rebecca i think two things. so there's a march called the march for life, which is an anti—abortion march, and i find the existence of it abhorrent. i hate it, i hate it. but i still believe that it should absolutely happen. and try to absolutely happen. and i try to think about every single time i want a march should not happen. but what about when it's saying that i like or i think that i care about? and i think we have to accept that however much you hate a cause, they have the right to do it and you to right to do it and you have to try and put yourself in the position of if it was the thing i care about, would i want it cancelled? i think you have cancelled? i also think you have to to remember and i realise to try to remember and i realise this going go well this isn't going to go down well as to say. the people as a thing to say. the people who watched news are who watched gb news are generally speaking, people who appreciate armistice day, who care day, care about remembrance day, for whom big of their whom it's a big part of their culture, often a lot of links to the military cetera. et cetera. there of people in this there are lots of people in this country not it, country for whom that's not it, especially you are younger country for whom that's not it, espeyouly you are younger country for whom that's not it, espeyou have'ou are younger country for whom that's not it, espeyou have nevers younger country for whom that's not it, espeyou have never met nger country for whom that's not it, espeyou have never met somebody and you have never met somebody and you have never met somebody and them. different and shame on them. different people have different value
4:09 am
systems, would lot systems, i would imagine. a lot of which is the problem. it's not a problem. you are allowed to should value to feel everybody should value our everybody our war dead and everybody should up. should respect what's coming up. wilfred very wilfred owen would be very pleased are people pleased that there are people who had to be who have never had to be troubled by the idea of a war. the of a war is that the success of a war is that there is a generation of young people who don't understand how horrific of course horrific it was, and of course you it. and always do. you respect it. and i always do. the minute silence. i don't the two minute silence. i don't wear a poppy. do the two wear a poppy. i do do the two minute silence. i respect it, but i don't have to agree with it and i don't have to take part in it. >> but why? generation >> but why? a generation hasn't had go to war is because had to go to war is because a generation or more did go to war. but we to their war. but we have to give their lives time, one at a lives one at a time, one at a time. >> and that's why it means a lot to so many people. >> and there has been very current wars that we've got people who've lost their lives and in way or and have come back in one way or another mental trauma or another with mental trauma or disfigured. feel disfigured. so i feel that actually should remember actually we should remember this because we're not having to do actually we should remember this beiande we're not having to do actually we should remember this beiand somebody having to do actually we should remember this beiand somebody havi laid» do it. and somebody else laid the lifetime. think that it's lifetime. i also think that it's such an important day. i believe in freedom of expression,
4:10 am
freedom freedom of freedom of speech, freedom of it. sometimes i think this it. but sometimes i think this is so important. know is so important. do you know what for the last what you've marched for the last couple weeks? you've couple of weeks? you've protested for a couple of weeks. couple of weeks? you've prot cand for a couple of weeks. couple of weeks? you've prot cand fcita couple of weeks. couple of weeks? you've prot cand fcit next|ple of weeks. couple of weeks? you've prot can d fcit next week. weeks. couple of weeks? you've prot can d fcit next week. iveeks. couple of weeks? you've prot cand fcit next week. i think you can do it next week. i think our tolerance, rebecca, now being used against you cannot start somebody start saying when somebody can feel not. start saying when somebody can feeithis not. start saying when somebody can feeithis is not. start saying when somebody can feeithis is not not. start saying when somebody can feeithis is not nidesigned to >> this is not even designed to be the centre, but the be around the centre, but the timing is disrespectful. no the war now, people. and war is going on now, people. and also just to clarify, sorry, i think a terrorist think hamas is a terrorist organisation. disgusted organisation. i am disgusted and i believe in it. >> you'll never get a gig at the bbc. >> however, say that. >> however, don't say that. that's dream. however however that's my dream. however however much hamas , i still much i hate hamas, i still believe that i don't care about the timing. the second you start saying you protest on this saying you can protest on this day, not on this day. you can protest about that. you've lost freedom of speech. >> okay, derek. >> okay, derek. >> but ironically, it would seem to that you're going to to me that if you're going to march at to march march at to all march on armistice day would actually send a very strong message to the free world that people actually fought for people's right to demonstrate . wait, the
4:11 am
right to demonstrate. wait, the people's right to think what they want to think and to think that we have a right to ban that on the very day that people should be remembered dead for dying for other people's right to continue to all those on the right guilty of double standards, free speech until they don't like what they're hearing. >> you know and like i've said, you can march on every other day. i said, this is such a sensitive issue, and i'll tell you for why. let's look at the practicalities of it. so there will be 1600 police or something. that's there. and yet people were calling for tens of thousands to come down. you're going to upset people. you're to going to upset people. you're to going raise tensions and there won't be enough people to be able to control and curtail. and those who were extreme of which we've all agreed there could be some extreme people there deliberately pressing the trigger upsetting trigger points and upsetting a nation. no, no. now nation. i say, no, no, no. now is not the time. it's supposed to upset people. >> that's why you have frozen. this very similar to when the this is very similar to when the sarah everard vigil happened and they no, no, you
4:12 am
they were all like, no, no, you can't it. it's going to get can't have it. it's going to get it's going to get nasty. it's going to get upsetting. oh, no. that was completely badly handled. >> agree with that was >> i agree with you. that was badly handled. stop. but badly handled. full stop. but why why we in why can't why can't we live in a society where people get upset? well, people do. and that's even have with this it? have a problem with this is it? >> time limited >> perhaps it's not time limited the to offend people, i the ability to offend people, i think. >> and i would never said >> and i would never have said this. we've been such a this. i think we've been such a tolerant nation. i say, tolerant nation. like i say, like jujitsu it's being like a jujitsu move. it's being used against us and used against us now. and sometimes have respect sometimes you have to respect other goes in other people. tolerance goes in around you cannot be around circle and you cannot be intolerant others. intolerant to others. >> my final point this is >> so my final point on this is that know, last month the that you know, last month the prime minister and the home secretary were telling the nafion secretary were telling the nation this wasn't a racist nation that this wasn't a racist country. other country. now, every other day they're worried about they're sort of worried about anti—semitic either is anti—semitic ism. it either is or it isn't. >> i'm glad that antisemitism . >> i'm glad that antisemitism. seriously. absolutely. i'd like to applied across the board. >> okay. well, look, a fascinating debate. let me know your thoughts at gbnews.com. let me of emails in me tell you a flood of emails in response to my interview with richard the of richard tice, the leader of reform uk. of them very, reform uk. 99% of them very, very positive. they'd like him
4:13 am
to minister well, to be prime minister well, never say coming up , to be prime minister well, never say coming up, as say never, but coming up, as suella braverman is accused of goading sacking goading rishi sunak into sacking her so that she can launch her own bid to become tory leader. with the straight talking home secretary. make a better pm. my panel returned to give their take on the simmering tory civil war shortly, but next, as rishi sunak announces a flurry of new oil and gas licences is he right to drill, baby, drill head of policy at net zero? watch harry wilkinson will make the case for britain's fossil fuel future and he'll be debating climate campaigner and top journalist donna mccarthy . let me tell you, donna mccarthy. let me tell you, it's going to be incredible debate. so what do you think, margaret gb news dot will discuss that .
4:17 am
gb news, the people's channel, britain's news channel . britain's news channel. >> should the authorities stop the pro—palestine marches this weekend? well, feelings are running high, getting so many emails. this from dave. dear mark, good evening . why do some mark, good evening. why do some people not understand that we should have the right to pay our respects to our war dead without being disturbed by the palestinian ? keep those palestinian marchers? keep those emails coming. they're they're a very, very busy tonight. but rishi sunak zack has set out his priorities for the year. and in today's king's speech, of course, read by king charles 111 one of them couldn't be clearer. the drill, baby, drill . the pm the drill, baby, drill. the pm announced a flurry of new oil
4:18 am
and gas licences , whilst keir and gas licences, whilst keir starmer says he would end north sea exploration . even as it sea exploration. even as it stands, he's yet to u—turn on this particular pledge. but never say never . so there is now never say never. so there is now clear blue water between the tories and labour. but which party has the right approach to debate this? i'm delighted to welcome the head of policy at net zero. watch harry wilkinson and the director of climate media coalition, donna mccarthy . media coalition, donna mccarthy. i'll start with you, harry. is rishi sunak right to drill baby , rishi sunak right to drill baby, drill ? drill? >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> i mean, no one is questioning the fact that we will still need huge amounts of oil and gas in the future regardless of which trajectory you look at. so this is a question of do we want that oil and gas to come from the uk, from our own waters supporting british jobs ? let's remember british jobs? let's remember hundreds of thousands of people rely on this industry for their livelihoods . so if people are livelihoods. so if people are saying that we should cut that off, they have to explain to those people who will lose their
4:19 am
jobs, lose their way of supporting their families why they should just be sacrificed . they should just be sacrificed. >> well, indeed, donna mccarthy , >> well, indeed, donna mccarthy, great to have you on the show . great to have you on the show. so just a few months ago , the so just a few months ago, the licences became available for bidding by the government for wind power. no takers from the private sector. that tells you everything you need to know . everything you need to know. these renewables are not a sound investment . investment. >> know what actually happened in that round? >> mark, as you well know, is that the government refused to pay a that the government refused to pay a fair price for the for the energy provided the government didn't subsidise them to the extent that they wanted. >> if this energy was reliable, you wouldn't have to subsidise it at all. mark, the it is not subsidised . subsidised. >> what they were saying is that guaranteeing guaranteeing their income , that's socialism . income, that's socialism. >> and so what socialism is, is what happened last winter, which was £60 billion made, paid to the funders of harry wilkinson's
4:20 am
net zero. >> watch the oil industry is absolutely, massively subsidised in this country. £60 billion mark of our money went to fund the oil companies last winter because of the oil crisis. what happened today with rishi sunak is an act of national self—harm because what it does is invests in an industry that keeps us addicted global oil prices, addicted to global oil prices, whereas what we need to be doing is actually investing in british renewable energy, which is the cheapest form of electricity on the market now. and what we need to be doing is margaret thatcher said very clearly that climate change an insidious danger. change is an insidious danger. it is one of the greatest challenges of the 20th century and we must act and what we should be doing is investing in renewable energy, insulate and bringing down bills for people's homes storage . homes and storage. >> harry wilkinson if the private sector won't invest, it's a crap investment . what it's a crap investment. what margaret thatcher said when she realised how it had gone into pumping up this alarmism using
4:21 am
fear as a weapon to bring about state control . state control. >> and she realised that this movement had gone so too far. people like .uk seem to think that the reason why people use oil is just a conspiracy by the oil is just a conspiracy by the oil companies to pump oil into the market. no, this is led by the market. no, this is led by the demand side of the equation. this is because people need to heat their homes. this is because people need to drive to work. they want to keep the lights on. they're not just burning oil for the sake of it. and to reduce our and we're going to reduce our demand for fossil by having electric vehicles that actually want to buy rather than the government saying, we're going to force you to buy them. that actually having heat pumps that people wanted to use rather than having government banning having the government banning gas know, this gas boilers. you know, this should be driven by demand. it should be driven by demand. it should be driven by demand. it should be driven by consumers. if driven by the state if it's driven by the state saying this is what you're going to lump it or leave it, then to do, lump it or leave it, then consumers are going to be left hugely worse off. they're going to poorer, they're going to
4:22 am
to be poorer, they're going to be colder. you know, if we restrict fossil harry, restrict fossil fuel. harry, harry, let harry finish your point. >> harry, if we if we restrict fossil fuels, supply of energy, what happens is prices will be higher than they would otherwise . okay? and then inflation goes up . we don't want that donoher up. we don't want that donoher we've just got inflation down. >> no, absolutely we don't want inflation. we want cheaper energy. and what actually the government itself admits that no matter how much you get cheaper energy with less energy, you get cheaper energy. we've got a choice, mark. we're going to invest billions in new energy, whether it's oil or renewables on the market. at the moment, which is the cheaper it's renewables . so why should we renewables. so why should we invest billions in a more invest invest billions in a more invest in the more expensive energy that british public doesn't that the british public doesn't want us to invest in? yesterday, opinion polling by yougov said very clearly the british public believes the government is acting too on climate acting too slowly on climate change. they understand, and by a margin of 10 to 1, they know that drilling in north sea oil will not bring down prices and
4:23 am
they actually want us to invest in and actually when in renewables. and actually when harry about the oil harry talks about the oil industry, well, let me tell you very clearly, the oil industry scientists in the 1980s told their bosses very clearly that if they continued promoting fossil fuels, it would cause major economic consequences by the 19 by the 2030 and global catastrophe by the 2060s. there predictions by the oil industry scientists are coming true right now . and what they did instead now. and what they did instead was they invest in groups like harry to mislead the public, to take us down the wrong route and to damage the british economy . to damage the british economy. let me very clear, mark, you you hear about inflation. you rightly care about inflation. you are you may be too young , you are you may be too young, but i'm not too. remember the oil crisis of the 1970s? if the middle east crisis explodes as it could do in the next couple of weeks and the oil in oil companies in the gulf put an oil
4:24 am
embargo , we're looking at embargo, we're looking at a price of $150 per barrel, which would be absolutely catastrophic . and so what we need to be doing is to protect britain's economy and move to renewables. that removes us from that danger of being exposed to the global oil market funded by harry. >> all right, harry, do you want to respond to that? >> absolutely. we have never taken a penny from energy companies. it's a complete lie that donica insists on saying every the reality is that every time the reality is that donica do you take it back ? donica do you take it back? >> do you take back that slur, that libel on your on your colleagues? harry no , no, no, ho. 110. >> no. >> what i meant to say, harry is spreading this lie every time. >> but this is, this is about consumers losing. >> harry let me deal with this situation. >> donohoe do you retract that untruth, that unparliamentary language that you've been using in the direction of harry wilkins , an i will draw the day. wilkins, an i will draw the day. >> harry wilkinson declares who his donors are. he will refuses. for the last 20 years they have been funded by international
4:25 am
global fossil fuel industry interests. and if they declare their interest, i will withdraw it . it. >> okay, well, look, harry, i'll. i'll let you and donohoe debate this on a future occasion, but what is your response to the argument of donohoe that actually if we go for green renewables, we will have energy security, so we're not reliant on russia or saudi arabia ? arabia? >> well, this is about it, actually. who is we in this situation ? tanaka wants to use situation? tanaka wants to use the state to force his preferred technology on the public. there's no comparing fossil fuels and reliable power stations like nuclear power as well, and gas power stations with technologies that supply energy only when the wind is blowing or the sun is shining. a modern industrial economy like the uk needs energy whenever it's required. and so if we go with this approach, then we're going to have huge amounts of backup that's going to have to be fossil. so it's not even as green a technology as he makes
4:26 am
out either. this is a technology that's already cost consumers a lot when you look at european countries, the more they've adopted renewables, the higher their electricity prices have tended to be. so this myth that renewables are cheap is a complete lie. they require huge amounts of backup . they require amounts of backup. they require huge amounts of grid infrastructure. so we see costs rising and rising in countries that ignore the problem of reliable . we need reliable, reliable. we need reliable, affordable energy supplies. >> a fascinating debate now donelan. the clock is against us, but i want to give you the last word . can i just point out last word. can i just point out that one of the reasons why the government are going to grant oil and gas licences is in to order encourage these companies to invest in green renewables . to invest in green renewables. and don't have the and if they don't have the profit from oil gas in the profit from oil and gas in the sea , then they're not sea, then they're not incentivised to help us go green. that's the point. we're in partnership with these oil giants and you all just weren't going to punish them, basically. plus about example of plus what about the example of germany? have invested germany? who have invested billions renewables ? billions in green renewables? and when vladimir putin
4:27 am
and yet when vladimir putin invaded ukraine, they were reliant on his oil and gas brief answer if you can. >> the idea that the oil industry, what the government wants us to invest in in renewable energy, then it should reduce the taxes , is put on reduce the taxes, is put on renewable energy. and it has given a massive tax cut to the to the oil companies to invest in oil. what you're saying is absolutely the government is doing the opposite. what about germany ? if it wants the oil germany? if it wants the oil companies to invest in in in renewables, in the uk, then it should make a level playing field. >> all right. look a great debate, gentlemen. this show is the home of diverse opinion and we've certainly heard it. you've both been very articulate and very respectful. my thanks to henry wilkinson and donnacha mccarthy . gentlemen, i we mccarthy. gentlemen, i hope we get speak again soon. but get to speak again soon. but coming up in uncanceled producers of the iconic comedy cartoon simpsons cartoon the simpsons have announced homer will no announced that dad homer will no longer choke his little son bart, because times have changed. so is the woke mind virus determined to strangle all fun out life ? gb news is

4:46 am
whole thing, this the simpsons isn't actually really targeted at very young people anyway. so i'm sure adults watching that whilst it does have a child like humour and appeal to young humour and does appeal to young people wasn't initial people that wasn't their initial audience the idea that audience and the idea that somebody seen that would somebody having seen that would think, a good idea . think, oh, that's a good idea. it's just comedy, just it's just comedy, it's just meant be funny. and if you're meant to be funny. and if you're an adult watching that, you probably kids probably wouldn't have your kids watching as an watching that anyway. but as an aduu watching that anyway. but as an adult watching that, you might you might know these photographs are funny. >> i mean , nana did no one tell >> i mean, nana did no one tell these numpties that they're not real human it's real human beings? it's a cartoon . cartoon. >> well, that's the point. they're not real people. they're just cartoon . somebody's drawn just cartoon. somebody's drawn it to make people laugh . all the it to make people laugh. all the things in there, none of the things in there, none of the things in there are likely to happen. they're parodies. it's a comedy. you're supposed to laugh, and if you don't like it, you can just press the button and change channels. don't and change channels. i don't know woke but, know why they've gone. woke but, you go go broke . you know, go woke, go broke. we've many times. we've seen it happen many times. definitely >> this story, i had >> when i read this story, i had one word dope . now, nana, if you one word dope. now, nana, if you thought bad . a nursery
4:47 am
thought that was bad. a nursery in germany is dropping in eastern germany is dropping the holocaust victim anne frank from its name to go for something, quote , more diverse. something, quote, more diverse. it will instead be called world explorers because parents and staff wanted something without a political background . and given political background. and given the flare up of anti semitism across europe, this feels problematic, doesn't it ? problematic, doesn't it? >> well, it does a bit . and in >> well, it does a bit. and in particular, i mean places like germany where, you know, this has a very chequered past with all of that, isn't it really hitler and their history ? i hitler and their history? i would have thought that in these times it might be wise to keep the name. and also anne frank was an absolute legend and kind of a hero of her time. so, you know , this is something that, know, this is something that, you know, when we hear about how resilient she was, the diaries and everything that she did, how she went through holocaust, she went through the holocaust, she went through the holocaust, she you know, it's something that actually what it was saying in that piece was that really what they should do is actually give a history give the parents a history lesson an education lesson
4:48 am
lesson and an education lesson on on who anne frank was and what happened to her, what exactly happened to her, because it's a sort of history that you never want to see repeated . but we seem to be repeated. but we seem to be seeing it happen now . i think seeing it happen now. i think even more than ever, we even now, more than ever, we need keep the reminder hours need to keep the reminder hours of things like that present so that we don't repeat them again. >> well, i just wonder whether it is about appeasing certain groups society because they groups in society because they did talk about how diverse german society is now in in a weird way that anne frank would somehow offend some families. i mean, this is a dark place to inhabit, isn't it? >> well, why would that offend somebody? so it's something that's placed on there to have a look at some of the history that's behind it and mean, of course, anne was hidden in an annexe, wasn't she ? and it was annexe, wasn't she? and it was a cleaner who eventually sort of, you know, got them out and told everybody where they were. but, you know, it was a story of how they it was an they survived. and it was an incredible journey well. incredible journey as well. and i think we like something with a historical context, a story and
4:49 am
a meaning to and what are a meaning to it. and what are they to call it, the they going to call it, the beyonce water. you know what i mean? a bit like putting mean? it's a bit like putting beyonce in a history book as something for the kids to study it feels a bit shallow. >> well, definitely . you're so >> well, definitely. you're so right. listen, the school right. and listen, the school have said that they just didn't want but want somebody political. but i don't think frank is don't think anne frank is political. she's an incredible human teenage girl that human being, a teenage girl that kept a diary whilst being pursued by the. was not pursued by the. she was not political. you are, though. nana your show is unmissable . you're your show is unmissable. you're absolutely knocking it out of the park every weekend and nana akua back on saturday at akua is back on saturday at three. see you then. nana >> see you then . >> see you then. >> see you then. >> brilliant stuff. time now for my pundits to reveal their greatest britain and union. jack and esther, who is your greatest? britain. >> well, i'm going to go for king charles today for the state opening of parliament. and not just because he wore that imperial state crown and because he read out the government's agenda. but the fact that did agenda. but the fact that he did it dead pan delivery, it in a dead pan delivery, talking about a climate climb
