discount season. researchers have found. >> but how significant is today in the british retail calendar ? in the british retail calendar? >> well, we are joined now by the ceo of the british independent retailers association, andy goodacre. andrew, welcome to gb news and happy boxing day. first of all, um , do people still queue um, do people still queue outside the shops like they used to? is there bargains to be had on boxing day ? on boxing day? >> uh, good morning and happy boxing day to you guys. um i don't think we'll see the queues that we probably remember as, uh, for many years ago, but there's no doubt that boxing day is a very important day for retailers. and it's been a difficult year for many, especially the smaller independent shops and boxing day and the days between now and the new year are the last chance to make the most of this festive period. >> but andrew, are people actually getting a bargain or is it all a little bit of a swizz? now these boxing day sales ? um,

ho. >> no. >> there's definitely bargains to be had. i think retailers need to be transparent about the offers , and if it is once in offers, and if it is once in a year discount that they're offering, make sure that it is truly a once in a year discount. but there's no doubt that this time of year it is. it is a chance for retailers to move on stock that they know is not, um, or something they don't want next year. and it's always been the opportunity for, for shoppers and, and people to spend money they've received at christmas, possibly on something that they are looking for. been waiting to get, and now's the time to buy it because it will be. or there will be some good value offers out there. and do we know what sort of products, what sort of offers are going to top the top the list? >> then? >> then? >> um, i think you'll see offers and sales in virtually every shop out there, to be honest with you. and online, um, that it , it it, it with you. and online, um, that it, it it, it has been with you. and online, um, that it , it it, it has been such with you. and online, um, that it, it it, it has been such a difficult year for so many as i

said. and now is the time to eke out every last penny we can from shoppers out there , people who shoppers out there, people who can afford, hopefully to spend that little bit more. um at this time of year, uh , and i think time of year, uh, and i think every business will be looking to do that. and i think, you know, fingers crossed, every business succeeds in what they want to do. and what they want to achieve in the next seven days. andrew you mentioned it's been a really tough time for retailers throughout entire yeah >>a yeah >> a christmas period as a whole. how do you think shoppers have done in terms of giving their money and doing trading with these shops? and is boxing day realistically going to change what has already happened in the run up of christmas shopping and all the rest of it? um it, you know, i think , um, i um it, you know, i think, um, i think normally we, we talk about this final three months of the year being the golden quarter for retail. >> um, because it is the busiest time of year for retailers. uh, october, november were quiet . we october, november were quiet. we saw the figures from the office

of national statistics about consumer spending being lower than previous years. but since black friday, there was definitely a definite a pick up. people took christmas shopping. um, more seriously . and we saw um, more seriously. and we saw this, this, this level of trade increase in all shops across across the high streets in the uk. so there's been a nice build up in the festive period. this is such an important time though. this is the time when retailers sell . most of are retailers sell. most of are their busiest weeks of trade . their busiest weeks of trade. and we need this because we know january and february can be very quiet, very dark, cold months. so we need we need a busy time now to help retailers see through the beginning of the yeah through the beginning of the year. and then look forward to spnng year. and then look forward to spring next year. so it is crucial, um, that they do well. it is crucial that people do come out and shop . um, and come out and shop. um, and fingers crossed that that will happen today. and in the next few days and just very finally, andrew, does the weather have anything to do with it, whether it's , you know, the sun is out it's, you know, the sun is out or whether there's a lot of wind

and rain? no, it does. i think we have seen since the end of covid, we've seen people , um, covid, we've seen people, um, switch slowly but surely from onune switch slowly but surely from online into returning back to shops on high street. so the penetration of online sales has fallen. but it is. it can be weather dominated because if it's if it's wet and miserable as we've had the last few days, then people may well choose to stay inside and shop online. and in many cases physical in many cases for physical retailers they need people out on the street. so another key start to the day with some bright sunshine, dry weather, the get some fresh air the chance to get some fresh air will fantastic, i'm sure will be fantastic, and i'm sure the that people are the that those people are wearing physical stores will wearing the physical stores will welcome some good weather welcome some some good weather today in order bring people today in order to bring people out fully. >> yeah, don't think it's too >> yeah, i don't think it's too bad, actually. i think it's feeling fresher, feeling a little fresher, a little bit more wintry because feeling a little fresher, a litwas)it more wintry because feeling a little fresher, a litwas so more wintry because feeling a little fresher, a litwas so very wintry because feeling a little fresher, a litwas so very ,vintry because feeling a little fresher, a litwas so very , very' because feeling a little fresher, a litwas so very , very mild,jse it was so very, very mild, wasn't it? christmas day yesterday? >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and in a way we need seasonal weather um, as well. we don't want it too cold either, but we need some seasonal weather because. because the stock in

the in the nato shops is geared towards winter. um, and, and it's mild. um, but but it's been so mild. um, but but i'm fairly certain that a bit of sunshine will put a smile on people's faces and bring people out. people's faces and bring people out absolutely . okay. andrew >> absolutely. okay. andrew goodacre the british goodacre from the british independent retailers association , really good to have association, really good to have you with us. thank you for getting up so early to join us this boxing day. >> thank you. now, new research has shown that out of the 167,000 charities in the uk , the 167,000 charities in the uk, the majority get only 10% of total donations and investment, as many community causes look to the year ahead , they're having the year ahead, they're having increasing worries about their financial security and whether they can continue helping people in their local areas. well our west midlands reporter jack carson has been finding out more from a homeless charity in birmingham . birmingham. >> it's the season of giving and across the country many of us might be choosing to support charities with some of our christmas cash . despite small christmas cash. despite small charities making up 96% of the

help charities like ours to keep our work going. >> one of those people standing tall is supported is tyler green made homeless as a teenager and wants sofa surfing with family friends. he's now working in an engineering role with engineering role with engineering specialist contractors to zika . he contractors to zika. he describes what his life was like before. >> it's like running a race with no shoes. you know? it's something you can get through. it's something that you can get past, but it's not easy. you know, there's a lot of challenges you face at the time or not having your own space to just sit down and relax and chill . that's just sit down and relax and chill. that's hard. a lot of people don't have a lot of people don't have a lot of people take it for granted. you know, just having your own bed. little things make a big difference . and without these difference. and without these smaller charities, you know, big differences wouldn't happen . all differences wouldn't happen. all it took was one phone call or one conversation. my whole life changed from having nothing . changed from having nothing. >> the four is an organisation which provides support to grass root causes and has already

distributed £8.3 million worth of grants. ceo mary rose gunn says standing tall and tyler are just one of the many examples of how smaller charities can have a huge impact. >> they have so many fantastic solutions and they are just not able to scale these solutions necessarily, because they don't have access to the investment of funding that they need to the skills and also to the networks. you know, christie , which is one you know, christie, which is one of the things that we do for him, we introduce him to various different businesses that we know that we meet. you know that we meet. we're you know, helping lift know, we're about helping lift up these social entrepreneurs and put them onto the next level. >> for those charities working within communities , the season within communities, the season of giving is a boost. but securing long tum investment is a lifeline. they can't afford to lose . jack carson gb news, lose. jack carson gb news, birmingham . birmingham. >> they do such valuable work, don't they? absolutely smaller charities. it's so crucial that , charities. it's so crucial that, uh, that we support them. very good morning to you and happy

lot of war going on, of course, in the middle east between israel hamas. and that is israel and hamas. and that is really pseudo religious really a pseudo religious war between state and an between a jewish state and an islamic group. what do you mean when you say pseudo religious war? >> well, it is really a war between two different religions in the middle east, between israel and hamas. >> you have the muslim led hamas organisation, people call organisation, which people call a terrorist group. and of course, was jewish course, there was only jewish state israel . so a lot of people state israel. so a lot of people will call that not just a pseudo religious war, but a religious war. making point war. and he was making the point yesterday are from an yesterday that we are from an abrahamic family of religions, that actually these religions that actually these religions that all come from a similar part of the world, share of part of the world, share lots of common , and it was common features, and it was still very much grounded in a christian message, though he kept referring to the christmas story and the nativity, but also helping others, didn't he? yes helping others, didn't he? yes he did. he spoke about the armed forces and people working throughout christmas, like many broadcasters were , of course. broadcasters were, of course. but he was speaking about the forces and how were forces and how they were involved the coronation and involved in the coronation and really reference to all

really making a reference to all of the services that people provide each other, just out of the goodness of our hearts. >> . >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> we'll come. we will come back to speech. i'd be to the kings speech. i'd be interested the interested to see what the ratings for it. interested to see what the rati the for it. interested to see what the rati the one for it. interested to see what the rati the one thing. interested to see what the rati the one thing that was >> the one thing that was missing, love >> the one thing that was miss the love >> the one thing that was miss the queen. love >> the one thing that was miss the queen. she love >> the one thing that was missthe queen. she used ve have with the queen. she used to have the family. the photos of the family. >> do remember? yeah, >> do you remember? yeah, i noficed >> do you remember? yeah, i noticed that. >> and harry >> and. yeah. and harry was obviously there . you had obviously not there. you had fergie back in the fold, which i thought was glorious. although i have the male's have to say that the male's picture of her was probably not have to say that the male's pictmost her was probably not have to say that the male's pictmost flattering. robably not have to say that the male's pictmost flattering. fergie/ not the most flattering. fergie falling over not the falling over is not really the best look. is it, for that particular it was particular side? but it was missing those family photos . missing those family photos. >> felt it felt quite. >> it felt quite. it felt quite. and i know people will disagree with me, but it felt quite bizarre . dislike for king bizarre. dislike for king charles. whereas i think when the queen did her message, there was like you say , because of the was like you say, because of the family photos and she was normally seated it was it normally seated it there was it was more sort of a come efforting, if you like. >> yeah. i mean, it was a different style. it was it was filmed in a room which we don't different style. it was it was filmveryi a room which we don't different style. it was it was filmvery often.m which we don't different style. it was it was filmvery often. thehich we don't different style. it was it was filmvery often. the centre; don't different style. it was it was filmvery often. the centre roomt see very often. the centre room of palace, which of buckingham palace, which opens the double opens out onto the iconic double buckingham a few

from the message of his of his christmas speech . okay. doing christmas speech. okay. doing >> andrew, what have you found? well talking of interesting fragmented parties and relationships , the tories, this relationships, the tories, this is in the eye. >> the tories facing a new general election threat from m r nidge's party working on that sort of basis. so what's happening is they've failed to close the gap. that's what they're saying about the conservatives fighting they're saying about the consenfronts fighting they're saying about the consenfronts with fighting they're saying about the consenfronts with figh'ofg on two fronts with the rise of reform and reform uk, they've reform uk and reform uk, they've basically risen 9% in the polls, 9% over the very start of the year , where they sort of started year, where they sort of started on 6. and this is an increased challenge. and i was talking to a number of the people, i mean, richard obviously dances a number of the people, i mean, ricthis obviously dances a number of the people, i mean, ricthis channel>bviously dances a number of the people, i mean, ricthis channel»bviotand dances a number of the people, i mean, ricthis channel»bviotand david on this channel now, and david ball, who i know very well as well, who's the deputy leader. and saying , look, we're and they are saying, look, we're not going give up votes not going to give up the votes this happened. this is what happened. they've all letter turning all received a letter turning round saying no, a for round and saying no, a vote for a reform is a vote a reform. a reform is a vote for a reform. but they're going to but i do think they're going to possibly kingmakers possibly be the kingmakers on that of side with those that sort of side with those sort percentages. it is a sort of percentages. it is a very interesting thing. >> general election is

>> but our general election is the first past the post system . the first past the post system. so to be able to so are they going to be able to get over so are they going to be able to get line over so are they going to be able to get line ? over the line? >> yeah, i think this is the point. they sort of emphasised. they look, it's not point. they sort of emphasised. tiwasted look, it's not point. they sort of emphasised. tiwasted vote look, it's not point. they sort of emphasised. tiwasted vote because it's not point. they sort of emphasised. tiwasted vote because that's»t point. they sort of emphasised. tiwasted vote because that's the a wasted vote because that's the standard narrative. they always say repeats say history repeats itself because don't learn because people don't learn the lessons so can lessons from history. so you can predict going happen predict what's going to happen with the narrative. they're going don't vote for going to say, oh, don't vote for them vote them because it's a vote for their that sort of their you work on that sort of principle. we're principle. the other thing we're going is a lot the going to see is a lot of the first election ever we have going to see is a lot of the firstfront:ion ever we have going to see is a lot of the firstfront and ever we have going to see is a lot of the firstfront and centre, we have going to see is a lot of the firstfront and centre, and have going to see is a lot of the firstfront and centre, and you e eye front and centre, and you know, my passion is about artificial intelligence and all these deep fake videos and so on and so forth. there's going to be loads and loads of those. >> andrew, vote for >> andrew, here's a vote for reform. let's be clear. reform. let's be very clear. because the because of the first past the post vote for post system is a vote for labouh post system is a vote for labour. anyone voting for reform is it more that is making it more likely that labour general labour will win the next general election. we just have to election. and we do just have to be honest about of course, be honest about that. of course, the are going to the reform party are going to say, oh, well, if just say, oh, well, if we all just vote reform win vote reform, reform will win the general but that's general election. but that's not going will a going to happen. it will cause a labour , and we don't know labour win, and we don't know how involved yet. >> nigel farage might be. >> nigel farage might be. >> yes, of course. and i'm sure

if nigel farage does get back to the back to front line for politics the reform party, that's going to make them a lot stronger. ultimately live stronger. but ultimately we live in two country and first in a two party country and first past post makes it very past the post makes it very difficult for third parties to actually in power. what do actually get in power. what do you think turn around ? you think will turn them around? >> that's thing we >> because that's the thing we always silver always talk about the silver bullet, where you're this bullet, where you're having this 80 many 80 seat majority not so many years ago, and they all say a week time week in politics a long time within think within the next year. i think march or possibly october, they're not they're going to do it. not in november us november because of the us election. what is going be election. what is going to be the bullet? we talk about the silver bullet? we talk about taxes. about taxes. we talk about immigration. we talk about the other of the other bits and pieces of the five pledges. what will turn people . people around. >> i think that really depends is you've got lots of people and especially the government, making of noise over this making a lot of noise over this stop the boats policy . and i stop the boats policy. and i personally think the stop the boats pledge from sunak personally think the stop the boat lookinge from sunak personally think the stop the boat looking like�*n sunak personally think the stop the boatlooking like a sunak personally think the stop the boatlooking like a mistake.1ak personally think the stop the boatlooking like a mistake. ifz was looking like a mistake. if we actually look back , i think we actually look back, i think that the liaison that the, the, the liaison committee last week, he actually refused to a date on when he refused to put a date on when he was going to be able to stop the boats. seems like an boats. so it seems like an impossible . the tories

boats. so it seems like an impreallye . the tories boats. so it seems like an impreally wedded the tories boats. so it seems like an impreally wedded themselveszs boats. so it seems like an impreally wedded themselves to are really wedded themselves to this, to this goal and also the boats are a fraction of the problem comes to immigration. and i do wonder whether on >> and i do wonder whether on the people will say the doorstep people will say they're more concerned about the cost of living, how much money they've got in their pocket each month . that's a that's a huge month. that's a that's a huge thing. when think about, you thing. when we think about, you know, with know, what's been happening with inflation, what's been happening know, what's been happening with infla interestat's been happening know, what's been happening with infla interest rateseen happening know, what's been happening with infla interest rates ,en happening know, what's been happening with infla interest rates , you're)ening with interest rates, you're absolutely right. >> interesting, >> and what's interesting, people think what the people will think what is the one issue. not issue. one issue. it's not one issue. they're all interrelated. it's absolutely it's they're all interrelated. it's abs�*cost ly it's they're all interrelated. it's abs�*cost of it's they're all interrelated. it's abs�*cost of what's it's they're all interrelated. it's abs�*cost of what's going it's they're all interrelated. it's abs�*cost of what's going to�*s the cost of what's going to happen tax happen on inheritance or the tax and and so forth. and so on. and so forth. but they're all interrelated, obviously immigration obviously, immigration has a knock effect for services knock on effect for services which but also the which are here, but also the provision of those services, not just cost . just the cost. >> i'll let's have a at >> i'll be let's have a look at this guardian exclusive this. guardian exclusive children in england at risk of diabetes, disease and diabetes, heart disease and other serious problems other serious health problems because ministers have shelved anti—obesity , um, uh, measures anti—obesity, um, uh, measures these measures. >> so in 2020, the government commissioned a report, i believe, by henry dimbleby. commissioned a report, i believe, by henry dimbleby . so believe, by henry dimbleby. so they were called the dimbleby reforms . and he came up with reforms. and he came up with this whole plan of how we were

going to tackle childhood obesity , including like obesity, including things like banning online advertising, banning online advertising, banning buy one, get one free, buy one, get one free deals on junk food, having, uh, junk food advertisements happen after 9 pm, for example, and a whole host of other measures. but because of pressure parts because of pressure from parts of conservative party, of the conservative party, people saying that this too people saying that this was too much nanny state, the much of a nanny state, the government kicked these government has kicked these plans the grass. but plans into the long grass. but actually change actually the facts don't change just because you kick the policies . we're policies down the road. we're expecting that 2 in 5 children in are going in england are going to be overweight by the that they overweight by the time that they leave school . and there's leave school. um, and there's a very, very interesting reporting on subjects i always find on these subjects i always find quite, quite frustrating , quite, quite frustrating, actually, this whole idea that that it's only wealthy families who are able to sidestep retail environments good environments and make good decisions. you it's not decisions. you know, it's not only wealthy people that can make about food. only wealthy people that can make can about food. only wealthy people that can make can decide about food. only wealthy people that can make can decide to about food. only wealthy people that can make can decide to pickt food. only wealthy people that can make can decide to pick an od. anyone can decide to pick an apple over a packet of crisps , apple over a packet of crisps, but they've just got to be given the education but they've just got to be given th

obesity and families in in more depnved obesity and families in in more deprived areas ? yeah. deprived areas? yeah. >> without doubt. and i think that's the reality. some of these healthy foods are really quite expensive. and this is the problem. you go for your happy miserable meal whatever you miserable meal or whatever you want do. it's much want to try and do. it's much cheaper to get that. and it's also families. what we also easy for families. what we need at is the economics need to look at is the economics of as i say, of the whole thing. as i say, it's interrelated, eating it's all interrelated, so eating healthily be good. the healthily should be good. the other trustee of other thing i'm a trustee of a charity which queen is charity which the queen is patron of called uk harvest, which is all about educating people about food and about waste and forth , waste and so on and so forth, and excess food and you can and excess food and how you can do , very useful things do right, very useful things to make people can make sure that people can actually afford decent meals . actually afford decent meals. >> easy it, though , to >> how easy is it, though, to have all this healthy food , have all this healthy food, fruit, vegetables? yes, a lot cheaper than perhaps junk food is this about education or is it about fundamentally changing the way that food distribution happensin way that food distribution happens in this country? think happens in this country? i think the both. happens in this country? i think the like both. happens in this country? i think the like all both. happens in this country? i think the like all these h. happens in this country? i think the like all these things . it's >> like all these things. it's that education. start that sort of education. start with the education. to with the education. say to people, that big people, let's do that big

campaign. eating an is campaign. eating an apple is great. it actually is very great. it actually it is very reasonable . you work on that reasonable. you work on that sort of basis you look at sort of basis and you look at the stats and how that's going to effect to have a knock on effect for people mean, days when people. i mean, in the days when i in school, they i was growing up in school, they used little of used to give you a little bit of milk, which you had with your used to give you a little bit of mili> i mean, supermarkets have a lot responsibility with lot of responsibility with this as when you look at as well. when you look at the shelves there's , you shelves and often there's, you know, i don't know if you've got your you've your tesco clubcard, you've got a on massive a reduced price on massive family bag of crisps. you know, that's surely part of it too. >> well, of course, i mean, this is what the dimbleby dimbleby reforms were all about. he wanted those , buy one, wanted to ban those, buy one, get one free deals that were get one free deals that you were just to with the just referencing to with the deals on packets crisps. but deals on packets of crisps. but i also think there's a lot of i do also think there's a lot of dancing issue we dancing around this issue. we like about like to say it's about education. we like to say it's about get one free about buy one, get one free deals. like to deals. we don't like to say to people, you're making people, actually, you're making bad looking bad decisions. and i was looking up research up just to do some research before. a bag apples is not before. a bag of apples is not more expensive than a family packet crisps . and ultimately more expensive than a family packe are crisps . and ultimately more expensive than a family packe are individualsi ultimately more expensive than a family packe are individuals making:ely these are individuals making individual decisions . and we

individual decisions. and we can't just say you can have all the education in the world, you can bandsin the education in the world, you can bands in the can have all the bands in the world. ultimately, you and i decide and sometimes decide what we eat and sometimes you've make you've just got to say make a better decision . better decision. >> vicious circle, >> it's a vicious circle, though, because you though, isn't it? because you get obesity , then that get all this obesity, then that has a knock on effect with the nhs as well? >> absolutely . and i think >> absolutely. and i think that's prevention is much that's why prevention is much better cure. you work out better than cure. you work out why pressures on why are there these pressures on the . it's because we're the nhs. it's because we're eating very healthy eating not in a very healthy way. really good start way. that's a really good start to look at that sort of side. so you're but you're absolutely right. but again, to again, it does go back to education the education and part of the education and part of the education big education is saying, well a big bag is cheaper than bag of apples is cheaper than your happy meal or other other things are available. work on that sort of principle . so that sort of principle. so i think availability, make it think make availability, make it cost effective, but make sure that understand and the that people understand and the importance okay. >> thank you for the moment, gentlemen . we will come to gentlemen. we will come back to you shortly . me now, as if you very shortly. me now, as if you very shortly. me now, as if you didn't know it is boxing day and you might have slightly overindulged aged yesterday and apart from the food, tv specials are always hot on the menu for

christmas audiences. but did they live up to expectations this year? >> well, we're now joined by showbiz journalists andi oliver to find out more. andi welcome to find out more. andi welcome to gb news. let's start with doctor who, then the first full episode, let's say with the new doctor . doctor. >> yeah, the first new one with ncuti gatwa. >> the 15th doctor and, um, there's quite a new thing happening with doctor who recently . um, obviously, over recently. um, obviously, over the years, doctor who has regenerated from one doctor to another to a different person, but this one, um, russell t davies has kind of shaped it up a little bit. we saw david tennant in the previous episode as the doctor. now we're seeing the 15th doctor as suella gatwa as you can see there. so we're kind of don't know what's happened with the regeneration as such, um, we'll probably as such, but, um, we'll probably find that out in future episodes . but as a, as a christmas . but as a, as a, as a christmas day episode, it did not disappoint . day episode, it did not disappoint. it did it it had everything. and i love i love

the new doctor . he's got the new doctor. he's got a completely different look. he turns up in a kilt, in a leather jacket . another completely jacket. another completely different previous different look to the previous doctors. he in a street doctors. he turns up in a street , uh, and he rescues davina mccall . davina mccall in doctor mccall. davina mccall in doctor who from a falling christmas tree off the top of a building into some gremlins have pushed it was the opening. it off. so that was the opening. so that was just the start of it. it never disappoints. it. um, it never disappoints. and it's we're going to see what happens going forward with that one. >> i was clearly too busy having a festive snooze because i completely i completely missed it . uh, probably because i was it. uh, probably because i was too full from lunch. tell us about easter. >> i was just about a&e easter as well. you know as well as i do eastenders. going back way back to when i was a kid in the 80s. it's always about a big storyline on christmas , storyline on christmas, especially now . sharon's getting especially now. sharon's getting married. okay but there's all sorts of things going on behind the scenes because we're back in february , we six ladies are in february, we six ladies are in the, uh, in the queen vic, and

there's a dead body on the floor. all six ladies, uh, could be responsible, as you see now . be responsible, as you see now. could be responsible for that body. we don't know who the body is, but we did find out last night. so it's been building up since february to the episode last night. so who is responsible? all sorts of things happen last night. sharon's at the altar waiting to get married . and, um, the altar is the wedding. is basically somebody coming in and gatecrashed it, um, to expose somebody . so it's um, to expose somebody. so it's all really happened last night. really in eastenders. it's been a wonderful episode. >> eastenders is always so dramatic on christmas day. um, but we must talk about mrs. brown's boys now. it's been on for. let's say, a decade now. a number of series. it gets some flak online, let's say, um, how did last night's episode go down? >> mrs. brown's boys is one of those things. one of those programmes which it does divide the critics. it does. you either like it or you don't . um, like it or you don't. um, personally, i'm a big fan of

mrs. brown's boys. uh, i recently saw the live tour that's touring around the uk at the moment, and, um, it's it is a wonderful , wonderful, a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, uh, episode , this wonderful, uh, episode, this one, basically it was called mummy's may. it's a broadcast last night and it's going to be broadcast again on new year's day, which what normally happens, you get the christmas day episode you the day episode and then you get the second new second half, which is on new year's premise year's day, visited the premise about this is, uh, you've got a sentimental horse going missing . sentimental horse going missing. you've got two unexpected guests turning up to mrs. brown's house, and you've got an australian source tree that, uh, in it as well. so that's the sort of centre of the story. um, last night again, another brilliant episode, and you'll see the next one on new year's day . um, but see the next one on new year's day. um, but brendan o'carroll always writes and always stars in this wonderful comic series , in this wonderful comic series, andifs in this wonderful comic series, and it's a wonderful show . and it's a wonderful show. >> i think what's nice is that a lot of the characters in mrs. brown's boys, the actors that play brown's boys, the actors that play them, are actually all related to brendan o'carroll. it's family that they're all

it's a family that they're all related , these sons in it and related, these sons in it and who plays buster? >> you know, his wife's in it. he's his daughter in laws in it. they're even on the stage show. they're even on the stage show. they're all related, even the people behind scenes, people behind the scenes, they're all one family. and they're all one big family. and if them on the stage. if you meet them on the stage. so stage show so i worked on the stage show and they're close knit and they're all a close knit family backstage as they are on screen, that i think that family backstage as they are on screerwiththat i think that family backstage as they are on screerwith the i think that family backstage as they are on screerwith the chemistryat helps with the chemistry actually on the programme, because they're all actually know each other that well because they're family. because they're all family. they're family . um, because they're all family. they're family. um, but they're all family. um, but yeah, been on for years. yeah, it's been on for years. it's on every year. it's always a great staple in the in the tv regime, isn't it? tv guide okay, showbiz journalist andy oliver, thanks for going through all that. >> and there is, of course, plenty to watch this boxing day , plenty to watch this boxing day, including a very special document on the royal family airing tonight. >> we'll be talking a lot more about that in the show later . about that in the show later. >> so let's get your weather update now with greg dewhurst . update now with greg dewhurst. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar for sponsors of weather on

w61'111. >> warm. >> it always sounds strange to me having a warm or summery christmas, but i suppose if you're in that part of the world, it's certainly more more common would be here. common than it would be here. very, very mild the uk. very, very mild in the uk. >> what you're up to >> let us know what you're up to today and maybe you're going shopping , because today is set shopping, because today is set to be one of the busiest days of the the street, as the year on the high street, as shoppers boxing day shoppers hit the boxing day sales, bargain hunting sales, us bargain hunting britons are set to make the busiest, make this the busiest boxing day for sale shopping in four years. >> despite the ongoing cost of living crisis , the average living crisis, the average shopper will spend a £253 on average during the festive discount season, according to research . research. >> but is this really the best time of the year to bag a deal? >> well , joining us now is >> well, joining us now is budgeting influencer euphemia moore . euphemia, thank you so moore. euphemia, thank you so much for joining moore. euphemia, thank you so much forjoining us this much for joining us this morning. we're not allowed to say happy boxing day anymore, are we? but of course, boxing day sales are a huge tradition i suppose has online shopping had

a change in tactics with with that one, i, i definitely think so. 50. >> so. >> um , i was listening to, um, >> um, i was listening to, um, your lines that you were talking about recently , um, about the about recently, um, about the fact that there will be many shoppers heading to the actual stores and i would disagree heavily because i think most people are going to be doing the shopping from their armchair. so the question that kind of like the question that i kind of like have will that be done using have is, will that be done using cash ? obviously not. maybe most cash? obviously not. maybe most of the spending will be done via card to some degree, whether that be credit or debit card, you know, so that's the question thatis you know, so that's the question that is kind of like on my mind, how is this being funded ? you how is this being funded? you know, so , so interesting, know, so, so interesting, euphemia, is that there's a number of stores that are actually staying shut on boxing day. >> you know, some of the big retailers . so they don't clearly retailers. so they don't clearly think boxing day sales are a big thing anymore . if they're thing anymore. if they're keeping their doors closed .

keeping their doors closed. >> and i don't i don't think the stores need to be open. i think people aren't heads like run into the stores as we may think they are . um, especially if you they are. um, especially if you are as i said, using card payment , are as i said, using card payment, you're most likely going to be doing the bulk of your shopping online. um, so we've seen that online spending has increased like tenfold , even has increased like tenfold, even with the cost of living crisis, people are still heavily using their cards. so um, i wouldn't be surprised if that is the method of purchase that you're going to be seeing. >> today is one of the problems that online shopping tends to be a lot cheaper than perhaps going to the high street, but of course, that has a detrimental effect on all these retailers up and down the country . and down the country. >> um, i feel like again, that might be a misconception because, um, if you think about it, if you are spending online, then that store doesn't have to have its doors open. um utility bills are less. they don't have to hire people per se to run that online transaction . so the

that online transaction. so the store is actually making more money if we buy online anyway. um, so they aren't necessarily passing that, that discount onto the customer for, um, over the years, you've seen that the sales like especially boxing day sales, aren't anywhere near what they used to be. it used to be a day where you'd queue up on the streets like, you know, in sleeping bags , because you knew sleeping bags, because you knew you would get so much money off your remember my mum your items. i remember my mum literally dragging in our literally dragging us in our pyjamas to morley's in brixton to like, queue up for duvets and things like that, because they were so cheap there would be were so cheap and there would be fights for them. now, um , it fights for them. but now, um, it just really isn't the case and you're most likely going to see a to what you'd see a similar sale to what you'd see at any time of year, at any other time of year, whether spring sale , whether it be spring sale, summer um, etc. etc. it's summer sale, um, etc. etc. it's just that, you know, people have just that, you know, people have just celebrated christmas and they have a little bit of they may have a little bit of christmas money that they want to yeah . to do away with. so yeah. >> important though, that >> is it important though, that people actually instead of staying at home and spending

we saw their families, you know, we saw quite a few shots of prince and princess of wales . we prince and princess of wales. we saw the duke duchess of saw the duke and duchess of edinburgh sadly we edinburgh as well, but sadly we didn't see harry and meghan. >> no harry and meghan and no harry meghan particular harry and meghan in a particular documentary airing documentary that's airing tonight, believe we do have a tonight, i believe we do have a clip this boxing day clip of this boxing day documentary airing documentary that's airing tonight . the documentary that's airing tonight. the king and queen walking dogs through the walking their dogs through the birkhall balmoral birkhall garden in balmoral comes through the tireless . comes through the tireless. >> that's marvellous, isn't it? what's this one here? he which one? >> they are an extraordinary team. and i think it's whether they've sort of had to fight to get there or whether it's just because they've been through a lot together and it's made them have a really strong bond. >> let's hope all their . oh >> let's hope all their. oh don't leave it. they're all busy eating grass. what are you doing? i should love eating grass . i think it's so greens grass. i think it's so greens for the day . they're both huge for the day. they're both huge walkers . very fit. both of them . walkers. very fit. both of them. it's how well exercised her with

her mad dogs. the last time she was in here, she found a mouse. i know she ate the whole lot . i know she ate the whole lot. horrible, awful creatures reappeared a bit later. she is his rock and i can't actually emphasise that enough . she's emphasise that enough. she's somebody who is completely loyal and she isn't somebody who has huge highs and lows. he brings to her everything . i'm not to her everything. i'm not talking about all of this, but you know, he has is such a knowledge and interest in so many different things, which she wouldn't really have been open to if she hadn't met him . that to if she hadn't met him. that is queen camilla's sister. >> it is . yeah. and victoria, i >> it is. yeah. and victoria, i think in that clip you see that personal relationship between charles and camilla, and it's been a long road to get to that point. >> it has. and their

relationship is beautiful. their love is you can't question it. it's they've gone through so much haven't they. and it is lovely to see. i mean it's she seems to be such a steady influence . yeah. and i think influence. yeah. and i think it's probably being in being, having that role is probably so demanding and having someone that kind of came from outside of that world, um, probably gives him that, um, grounding, i suppose. and the little dogs as well. >> of course. beth and bluebell, both battersea dogs home rescues, but of course been given the life , you know, the given the life, you know, the most amazing life being being king and queen's pets. >> they must get the best food , >> they must get the best food, the best treatment. yeah they really do have an amazing life. and um, that's. i think that's nice because it makes them, makes us realise that they are human. they like dogs, like anyone else, and they they care for them. so it's really nice and what's, what's nice as well is that, um, king charles does seem to be quite self

deprecating. >> he's made a joke about his so—called sausage fingers in the documentary , hasn't he? documentary, hasn't he? >> well, yeah. and i think that's all part of it. i mean, we, we want to able to relate we, we want to be able to relate to the royal family, not, um, feel they're so different feel like they're so different to us. and that's what i thought in speech yesterday. did in his speech yesterday. he did come across, um, that he was relatable to everyone. he talked about who had families, about people who had families, people have people that didn't have families. and i think that's really important . really important. >> yeah, it's a very >> yeah, i think it's a very important for them to not appear out of i think they're out of touch. i think they're really working and really working on that and i'm sure more that next sure we'll see more of that next yeah sure we'll see more of that next year. of course, documentaries airing tonight on on bbc one. >> victoria, thank you so much for coming in. and, um , even for coming in. and, um, even though somebody doesn't like it, i'm going it. happy i'm still going to say it. happy boxing beat boxing day, boxing day beat boxing day, happy christmas. now let's have a look at some other stories coming into the newsroom. labour is drawing up a watertight alternate to the rwanda migrant plan as it attempts to combat tory attacks on its immigration

very good morning . welcome back to good morning. welcome back to breakfast on gb news. what are you doing this boxing day? maybe you doing this boxing day? maybe you are going out to photograph what is quite a spectacle. it is a countryside , very quaint a countryside, very quaint countryside tradition in, uh, the meeting of hunts across the country . it is controversial country. it is controversial though, and often brings clashes between organisers and animal welfare groups. >> well , this year is no >> well, this year is no different and we'll be going live later to the hunt . um, meet live later to the hunt. um, meet hunt meets in lewis , where hunt meets in lewis, where campaigners have tried to stop the hunt meeting by hiring the main street for a wheelbarrow 1'6c9. 1609. >> race. >> yeah, we'll explain all that a little later on, but it does. it does raise temperatures

across the country. this topic, and we're asking should there be and we're asking should there be a ban on the boxing day hunt meat? >> well, joining us to debate this now, i'm pleased to welcome chief executive of the countryside alliance , tim bonner countryside alliance, tim bonner and social media and comms manager for the animal rights campaign , peterjennifer white, campaign, peter jennifer white, welcome to you both . um, let's welcome to you both. um, let's start with jennifer. first of all, what is it about these traditional hunts which you feel are so outdated . and are so outdated. and >> well, we need to remember that hunting with dogs is already illegal in england and for very good reason. because, frankly, there isn't anything much crueller than setting a pack of hounds on a terrified animal. but trail hunting is just a smokescreen for a legal hunting activity. and because the dogs are still trained to recognise the scent of a fox, it is unbearably predictable that as soon as they are let loose

into an environment there into an environment where there are real foxes, they're going to deviate laid scent and deviate from the laid scent and they get distracted by the real animals . and why so animals. and that's why it is so important england important that england strengthens hunting act in strengthens the hunting act in order to close this loophole. once and all. once and for all. >> yeah . tim, what do you what >> yeah. tim, what do you what do make of what jennifer is do you make of what jennifer is saying there that trail hunting. it just a smokescreen and it is just a smokescreen and many foxes every year are still getting hunted down and killed by the hounds in what is say , by the hounds in what is say, many a despicable act of cruelty i >> -- >> look, look , hunting was >> look, look, hunting was banned nearly 20 years ago. >> um, i and others thought that was the wrong thing to do at the time, but that is the fact. that is law. as it stands at the is the law. as it stands at the moment. it's perfectly moment. it's a perfectly straightforward piece of legislation. if you chase a mammal dogs , you commit an mammal with dogs, you commit an offence. people have offence. hundreds of people have been the last been convicted over the last over the last nearly 20 years. most of them actually have had nothing because nothing to do with hunts because those operating those hunts are operating perfectly legally. they're doing what were told at the time.

what they were told at the time. they're going there hunting what they were told at the time. th artificial1g there hunting what they were told at the time. th artificial trails. there hunting what they were told at the time. th artificial trails. they're jnting to artificial trails. they're not hunting foxes. and this really isn't about foxes. and this debate really has this debate never really has been. it's about people , and been. it's about people, and it's about the fact that there are animal it's about the fact that there are movement animal it's about the fact that there are movement aelements of rights movement and elements of the the political left , the the of the political left, the labour party, who cannot cope with the fact that hunt still exist , um, with the fact that hunt still exist, um, that with the fact that hunt still exist , um, that they with the fact that hunt still exist, um, that they are with the fact that hunt still exist , um, that they are still exist, um, that they are still meeting today , that tens of meeting today, that tens of thousands will thousands of people will be going support and going out to support them. and so i think it was bizarre, frankly, that we that we're really thinking again about going further going back to legislate further on , but have no doubt going back to legislate further orthey , but have no doubt going back to legislate further orthey do, , but have no doubt going back to legislate further orthey do, there it have no doubt going back to legislate further orthey do, there will ve no doubt going back to legislate further orthey do, there will be no doubt fight. >> tim, you say that quite rightly that it was banned, but but there are various legal loopholes , that there's no loopholes. >> it is an offence. it's an offence to chase a wild mammal, which is an offence to chase. >> but there are still legal loopholes which which , which loopholes which which, which huntsmen can get round . huntsmen can get round. >> well, i'm afraid i think that's just a fiction. if you read the legislation, it is really straightforward . um, and

really straightforward. um, and the idea that hundreds and hundreds of people can be convicted under the legislation, which have been, um, and which they have been, um, and yet there's a loophole in it doesn't make any sense. this isn't about the law. this isn't about foxes. isn't about about foxes. this isn't about hounds. about politics. hounds. this is about politics. and frankly , if we think that and frankly, if we think that we're going to revert to the politics 13 years ago and the politics of 13 years ago and the labour party is going to bring in legislation that's to in legislation that's going to cause upsets in the cause massive upsets in the countryside there so countryside when there are so many other, more important many other, far more important issues in the country, let alone in communities. i mean, in rural communities. i mean, frankly, think this is madness i >> jennifer, as tim points out, ten, tens thousands of people ten, tens of thousands of people will be going on hunts today. clearly, those people find it appealing and they must think there is some benefit to hunting . do you completely disagree with that ? with that? >> yeah, i mean, hunting is animal cruelty, plain and simple. and if people were going into the countryside to chase dogs and cats, it wouldn't be called sport. it would be called animal abuse. and that is exactly what it is when it

happens to foxes. exactly what it is when it happens to foxes . you know, happens to foxes. you know, these animals the exact these animals have the exact same to pain and same capacity to feel pain and love and joy as the dogs and cats that we keep in our homes, and deserve more and they deserve more protection. and bottom line protection. and the bottom line is that foxes are being killed every single year from these hunts . and that's why more has hunts. and that's why more has to done , um, to afford them to be done, um, to afford them protection . protection. >> tim, what benefits >> tim, what are the benefits then? because of course, is a then? because of course, it is a tradition been going tradition that's been going on for and for hundreds of years. and perhaps to ban it would really upset lot people . upset a lot of people. >> yeah. i mean, this is a it's a hugely important activity for lots of people in the countryside. they adore their hounds. they going out into hounds. they love going out into the countryside, having access to that . um, this an activity to that. um, this is an activity which which , which people, which which which, which people, which humans carrying out humans have been carrying out for thousands years. and it's for thousands of years. and it's integral to, to the social context of many communities . integral to, to the social context of many communities. um, you know, we could have an argument about fox control, you know, we could have an argument about fox control , the argument about fox control, the need to the need to manage the countryside, the need to protect and threaten species, and how you do that. but that was a

debate that we had 20 years ago. i'm very sad that, um, that hunting was taken apart from and made illegal. but the fact is that there are thousands of foxes being killed in the countryside every day. but that every, every month, every year for the purposes that of protecting the countryside as a whole , that's understood, that's whole, that's understood, that's accepted . do. tim, we could have accepted. do. tim, we could have that debate , but i just want to that debate, but i just want to ask you , tim, i just want to ask ask you, tim, i just want to ask you because because we're ask you, tim, i just want to ask you bec.out because we're ask you, tim, i just want to ask you bec.out betime,e we're ask you, tim, i just want to ask you bec.out betime, ase're ask you, tim, i just want to ask you bec.out betime, as usual. running out of time, as usual. >> um, do foxes get killed every year due to hunting ? are you year due to hunting? are you telling me there's no foxes that die during the year due to hunting? no, no no, no foxes die. >> i've said the lord's really clear. the law is really clear. yeah. >> we know. well, if you pursue that clear. but do, then you could be convicted at the hands of a bunch of hounds , as every of a bunch of hounds, as every year bunch of hounds. year a bunch of hounds. >> well, yeah, they're have been convictions. and there's, you know , people have been have been know, people have been have been convicted and the courts have

done their job. yeah. that that is i regret because is something i regret because because i don't think personally, um, that that was either necessary or clever at the but the fact is we're the time. but the fact is we're not about , you know, not talking about, you know, we're talking about that. we're not talking about that. apparently, we're not talking about that. appareractivity which is exactly ban an activity which is exactly what the labour party told people to do in 2004 when it passed this act. and now we want to ban just turning up in a in a town square with a pack of hounds a horse . hounds and sitting on a horse. and is political. this and this is political. this isn't about the countryside. this about animal welfare. this isn't about animal welfare. this isn't about animal welfare. this an attack on way of this is an attack on a way of life. it's something that this is an attack on a way of life.labour's something that this is an attack on a way of life.labour's son says|g that this is an attack on a way of life.labour's sonsays it that this is an attack on a way of life.labour's sonsays it wants the labour party says it wants to from this of to move away from this sort of divisive the divisive politics in the countryside. i hope it does, because it would really because it would be a really foolish them do. foolish thing for them to do. does does tim have a point? does does does tim have a point? >> i mean, the spectacle of what we see boxing day, you know, we see on boxing day, you know, it lovely for many it is it is lovely for many people. it is a lovely sight . people. it is a lovely sight. >> but i mean, there is just no place for hunting in modern britain. and, you know , we know britain. and, you know, we know that there have been over 400 convictions for hunting since

2010, and foxes are dying and these are amazing animals and they deserve so much more than to be torn apart sometimes. disembowelled while they're still alive by a pack of hounds . still alive by a pack of hounds. and more needs to be done, such as the hunting act as strengthening the hunting act in give that in order to give them that protection. okay >> jennifer white, spokesperson for peta and tim bonner, chief executive of the countryside alliance, thank you both . alliance, thank you both. >> now it is time to go through all the latest sports news with broadcaster aiden mcgee, who's torn himself away from his cookeh >>i cookeh >> ihave cookeh >> i have indeed. talk to us. i've got some. you love. >> you love your exclusive footage. later on of me serving. oh, it's exciting for you both to look forward to. so what's what are you serving what sport are you serving up for think we for us? well, today i think we should at the horse should have a look at the horse racing day , of racing today. a huge day, of course, boxing day racing course, of boxing day racing ahead is tradition , ahead of us, as is tradition, traditional for the time of year eight meetings total, a huge eight meetings in total, a huge day of racing. aintree will day of jump racing. aintree will host a big event. there fontwell park market racing. but the big one, the jewel in the crown 2.30 at kempton, the george the

at kempton, the king george the sixth chase, now brave man's game, won it last year. hugely huge pedigree that that horse. but i've been told on social media that maybe that's not the one the value is and that one where the value is and that the 13 to 8 allaho the favourite 13 to 8 allaho trained by the irish champion trainer willie mullins, is the one to watch as an outsider as well at 33 to 1, ridden by paul nicholls. and that's frodon. so i'm not really much of a gambler myself, but if i was going to fancy an outside shot, i'd probably go down because probably go down there because you're much you're not going to get much value ones that. value on the ones above that. but hunting but just mentioning the hunting issue well. animal rights issue as well. the animal rights issue as well. the animal rights issue that we've been issue that we've just been talking it's talking about there, it's not exactly the same because it's horse racing, but it been horse racing, but it has been beset last beset with problems in the last year there will year or so. pip and there will be this year's be changes to this year's national, national, national, grand national, aintree and uh, for example, two inches will be off. the inches will be cut off. the height and the height of the fences and the number horses will be reduced number of horses will be reduced from 34. in an effort from 40 to 34. in an effort that's two of dozen so . that's two of the dozen or so. >> good job we didn't keep jennifer on from peter because >> good job we didn't keep jennifer on have peter because >> good job we didn't keep jennifer on have had er because >> good job we didn't keep jennifer onhave had something she would have had something to say horse racing on boxing say about horse racing on boxing day know, quite

top if both of them win and there's a few other boxing day fixtures that we should mention because about because it's not all about money. oh no certainly isn't. no, mean , i no, i mean, look, i mean, i wouldn't a nottingham wouldn't fancy as a nottingham forest to newcastle, forest fan going to newcastle, even are even though newcastle are suffering some bad injuries. but look, 1230 the idea, pip, is that it's meant to be localised, isn't to the boxing day isn't it? to the boxing day fixtures to minimise the travelling. trains travelling. i mean the trains are . we all know about are terrible. we all know about the boxing day traffic well, the boxing day traffic as well, but so i wouldn't fancy one but so i wouldn't fancy that one at 1230. but as you quite rightly the rightly said, you can go to the big if you finish round big market if you finish a round about sure they'll about 3:00, so i'm sure they'll be having thoughts be having having those thoughts as fulham as well. bournemouth, fulham 3:00 sheffield losing 3:00 sheffield united losing again. another big trip for luton to sheffield luton town. up to sheffield united. some good news about their captain tom their captain as well. tom lockyer. he's been responding well week. he's at he well this week. he's at home. he managed at well this week. he's at home. he managwhich at well this week. he's at home. he managwhich was at well this week. he's at home. he managwhich was great. at well this week. he's at home. he managwhich was great. burnley, home which was great. burnley, liverpool at six liverpool as we mentioned at six at 530 at turf moor. >> brilliant . >> brilliant. >> brilliant. >> can i mention the boxing as well joshua quickly well with anthony joshua quickly gone i think he's going gone because i think he's going to look won. did to i mean look he won. he did his bit last saturday winning the winning the match against otto wallin in saudi. didn't otto wallin in saudi. it didn't go other fight

go his way in the other fight because his opponent, the big money for next year money opponent for next year john suffered a john wilder, was suffered a shock loss to joseph parker of new zealand. and it looks as if anthony joshua is going to seek the b route in terms of regaining his heavyweight title , regaining his heavyweight title, as it looks like march to ninth against, hrgovic , the against, uh, filip hrgovic, the very talented croatian £100 million fight and the winner of that should be in a position to take on the winner and take on the winner of usyk and fury. but we have more on that as goes as the day goes on. >> joshua didn't >> i bet anthony joshua didn't have day lunch, have a big christmas day lunch, did he? >> t-n >> i've spent christmas day with anthony joshua once and he has a massive christmas dinner. i was ianed massive christmas dinner. i was invited in. i had a look, his mum invited me in to sit down and six in morning. and it was six in the morning. i had appointments with had appointments later on with at know my at home. of course, you know my dufies at home. of course, you know my duties day. i've duties on christmas day. i've been um, been through that. but um, but yeah, the door been through that. but um, but ye his, the door been through that. but um, but ye his, in the door been through that. but um, but ye his, in his, the door been through that. but um, but ye his, in his, in the door been through that. but um, but ye his, in his, in his the door been through that. but um, but ye his, in his, in his trunks. door in his, in his, in his trunks. i think, um, you know, i probably didn't wasn't the didn't i probably wasn't in the best, best position to appreciate was he appreciate it, but was he competing following day, competing the following day, though, know, though, because he, you know, he was the was christmas lunch boxes the following day following year i spent the day with haye boxing day. with david haye on boxing day. so my previous job, we so boxers in my previous job, we used to spend time with the boxer, usually on christmas day

fiction? used to be that fiction? uh, it used to be that they give boxes to the they used to give boxes to the poor to help them out, which obviously happy, which obviously made them happy, which was cheer was spreading the good cheer after time. are after christmas time. so you are absolutely right. happy boxing day the right way to do it. day is the right way to do it. it's boxes to poor it's boxes to the poor and that's but from that's what happened. but from boxes to is we should boxes to foxes is what we should look because what the look at because what is the foxes ? foxes did there? >> um, very good segue. >> um, very good segue. >> what i love your debate, >> and what i love your debate, what love about your show what i love about your show is you're at shedding you're brilliant at shedding more light and less heat the more light and less heat on the topics . topics. >> thought wasa great >> i thought it was a great debate, think we should debate, but i think we should look what actually look at what the law actually says moment, because look at what the law actually says saying)ment, because look at what the law actually says saying 1116111, because look at what the law actually says saying that care.:ause they're saying that care. uh, basically hunt feud. basically is this hunt feud. they're sort basically is this hunt feud. th if 're sort basically is this hunt feud. th if you sort basically is this hunt feud. th if you upset sort basically is this hunt feud. th if you upset the sort basically is this hunt feud. th if you upset the people sort basically is this hunt feud. th if you upset the people who basically is this hunt feud. thi supporting the people who basically is this hunt feud. thi supporting the sort)le who are supporting this sort of hunting, hunting is hunting, but fox hunting is illegal england , scotland and illegal in england, scotland and wales. it's still legal in northern ireland. and what they're saying is basically under hunting act 2004. but under the hunting act 2004. but there's this thing called the trail hunting is what they're doing. basically they've doing. and basically they've got a scent. and a particular scent. and people talk loopholes . i think we talk about loopholes. i think we should a deeper to should dig a bit deeper as to what those loopholes are, especially on the pc breakfast show. pip and cameron see show. the pip and cameron see what did there? if you

what i did there? yes, if you work basis. so what work on that basis. so what they're that these they're saying is that these trails, sometimes the hounds they're saying is that these traitrackmetimes the hounds they're saying is that these traitrackmeti it's. the hounds they're saying is that these trai track meti it's such hounds they're saying is that these traitrackmeti it's such an nds off track and it's such an emotive topic and you're right, and seeing foxes being pulled apart, you're absolutely right. it's on that sort of it's awful on that sort of basis. what we need look at basis. what we need to look at though, is what are those loopholes really loopholes and do they really need because reality loopholes and do they really neyis because reality loopholes and do they really neyis that because reality loopholes and do they really neyis that it because reality loopholes and do they really neyis that it isecause reality loopholes and do they really neyis that it is already reality is, is that it is already banned. that's what we need to say to people when they're doing this an this trail things, which is an essential part for some people of the traditions of england and essential part for some people of the anditions of england and essential part for some people of the and various england and essential part for some people of the and various engl.places1 wales and various other places as . it's an essential part as well. it's an essential part of the countryside and to turn it into a political where it into a political side where kyrees we're going kyrees said, we're going to ban all including trail all hunting, including trail hunting. very worried hunting. they're very worried about lots about there being a losing lots of as a result. of votes as a result. >> but part, part of this debate isn't it, about legality of isn't it, about the legality of it? to do with, into it? is to do with, um, into meant? yes. and if the hounds go too far ahead and you can't call them back, then you didn't intend for that fox to die. it was just the hounds were too far ahead for you to do anything about it. >> and it's the same thing as you barrister. you have you know, barrister. so you have a criminal intent. you have two

things. one is mens rea or a guilty mind, and the actus, which act of being guilty which is the act of being guilty about they're saying about it. what they're saying when do these trails, when they do these trails, they're it's same they're saying it's the same scent the animal and scent as the animal and therefore they're chasing the fox. look at the fox. so we need to look at the specifics out are specifics and work out what are those are those loopholes, if they are loopholes do we close them? >> if andrew, you mentioned kyrees about losing kyrees worried about losing votes hunting, how many votes over fox hunting, how many votes over fox hunting, how many votes do you think are in fox hunting ? i've got be honest, hunting? i've got to be honest, i particularly care about hunting? i've got to be honest, i hunting.:ularly care about hunting? i've got to be honest, i hunting.:ula sure|re about hunting? i've got to be honest, i hunting.:ula sure it's|bout hunting? i've got to be honest, i hunting.:ula sure it's nott fox hunting. i'm sure it's not very nice for the foxes, but ultimately this is something that a very small part the that a very small part of the population do tends to be more the upper classes. know it is the upper classes. i know it is an issue in the an important issue in the countryside, there are many countryside, but there are many people be watching countryside, but there are many people who be watching countryside, but there are many people who actually/atching countryside, but there are many people who actually just ing this show who actually just think, we it back think, well, we banned it back in whenever was, now in whenever it was, and now let's just move on something else. >> i think you're right, is >> i think you're right, it is controversial, whether it's controversial, but whether it's on the top five yes list of what people actually care about , not people actually care about, not just voting no. >> although it might be easier, of course. i mean, will this be something that tories could use to try and get votes from these

grassroots people in the countryside? >> i just get the sense that we've moved on from fox hunting debates. it almost feels like a little bit of an odd debate to be talking about in 2023. it's not something that i've grown up thinking life . i thinking about in my life. i know a big issue at the know this was a big issue at the time that tony blair was elected. like elected. it almost feels like a bit vu . are we back in bit of deja vu. are we back in 1997? we're having another conversation hunting. conversation about fox hunting. the year before labour elected potentially . potentially. >> well, it's interesting, lord mandelson , this is reported in mandelson, this is reported in the well. he admitted the article as well. he admitted that blair's fox banking . that tony blair's a fox banking. a ban was one of the a fox hunting ban was one of the policies he most regrets . i policies he most regrets. i mean, extraordinary thing to admit , you mean, extraordinary thing to admit, you look on that basis. but we need to change but i think we need to change the of it. is the language of it. this is not fox fox hunting fox hunting. fox hunting is banned. hunting . and banned. it's trail hunting. and does that to a loophole ? does that lead to a loophole? >> andrew, thank you very >> okay, andrew, thank you very much. let's go to a story much. uh, let's go to a story about charities in the uk , many about charities in the uk, many of whom get only 10% of total donations and investment . donations and investment. >> yes, many community causes look to the year ahead. they

have increasing worries about their financial security . uh, their financial security. uh, west midlands reporter jack carson has this for us. >> it's the season of giving and across the country , many of us across the country, many of us might be choosing to support charities with some of our christmas cash . despite small christmas cash. despite small charities making up 96% of the third sector funding for them has been declining for the last 20 years. of the 167,000 charities in the uk , the largest charities in the uk, the largest 7% received 90% of funding income, so we want to meet up with maureen in the new year to arrange a start date, if that's okay. >> kristy acton is the founder and ceo of standing tall, a charity in birmingham which supports homeless people back into work and i know of a lot of other charities who are really struggling at the moment . other charities who are really struggling at the moment. um, in the last sort of three, six months, because there are less grants , there are less funds grants, there are less funds around there are so many incredible charities, smaller

charities who are having an amazing impact on some people's lives and, um, you know, a small donation , um, to whether it's a donation, um, to whether it's a local charity or , um, you know, local charity or, um, you know, a smaller national charity , uh, a smaller national charity, uh, it really goes a long way to, to help charities like ours to keep our work going. >> one of those people standing taller, supported is tyler green, made homeless as a teenager and wants sofa surfing with family friends. he's now working in an engineering role with engineering specialist contractors to zika . he contractors to zika. he describes what his life was like before. >> it's like running a race with no shoes. you know? it's something you can get through. it's something that you can get past, but it's not easy. you know, there's a lot of challenges you face at the time or not having your own space to just sit down and relax and chill . that's just sit down and relax and chill. that's hard. a lot of people don't have a lot of people don't have a lot of people take it for granted . you people take it for granted. you know, just having own bed . know, just having your own bed. little things make a big

difference . and without these difference. and without these smaller charities, you know, big differences wouldn't happen . all differences wouldn't happen. all it took was one phone call or one conversation. my whole life changed from having nothing . changed from having nothing. >> the four is an organisation which provides support to grass root causes and has already distributed £8.3 million worth of grants. ceo mary rose gunn says standing tall and tyler are just one of the many examples of how smaller charities can have a huge impact. >> they have so many fantastic solutions and they are just not able to scale these solutions necessarily, because they don't have access to the investment of funding that they need to the skills and also to the networks . skills and also to the networks. you know, christie, which is one of the things that we do for him , introduce various , we introduce him to various different businesses that we know meet . we're you know that we meet. we're you know, about helping lift know, we're about helping lift up these social entrepreneurs and put them onto the next level. >> for those charities working within communities , the season

of the prince of wales and his family arriving in westminster abbey . abbey. >> the prince of wales has a key role in the coronation yes. >> of course. wow look at that blue. >> this is a chance for the prince to support the king as he prepares for his big day . i prepares for his big day. i think what struck me particularly is how extraordinarily affectionate they are . they are. >> i guess they're clearly a very close family, you know, of all the generations and in a sense, you felt you're part of a family occasion as well as , you family occasion as well as, you know, a royal occasion and a national occasion . national occasion. >> there's certainly modern royals . i >> there's certainly modern royals. i think >> there's certainly modern royals . i think even 20, 30 royals. i think even 20, 30 years ago, you would never, ever see the monarch hugging his grandchildren or a son in

public. i think it just shows perhaps their warm relationship together inside westminster abbey, although it wasn't that one of the sort of suggestions that prince harry made in his book was about the lack of warmth. >> yes, between , you know, the >> yes, between, you know, the physical contact , that tactile physical contact, that tactile relationship didn't exist. but it does seem very different. >> and guess he doesn't feature in this documentary. prince harry. >> not not not a surprise, not a surprise. well let's talk to former royal butler to the king, grant harold . happy boxing day grant harold. happy boxing day to you, grant. harold. lovely to see you this morning on gb news. as you must be looking forward to this documentary then. have you seen some some clips? what's your take on it so far? >> i'll get more into you both. and yes, happy boxing day . i and yes, happy boxing day. i hope you had a good christmas. um do you know i'm like you? i'm going to be really interested because i'm one of the lucky ones. of that has ones. one of the few that has worked in that environment. i know what it's like. obviously, behind is it behind closed doors, which is it has an amazing experience.

has been an amazing experience. so it's going to be interesting to this documentary is to see what this documentary is about, much how much about, how much they how much insight behind closed insight they give behind closed doors. i as carmen doors. but i think as carmen would the last few would agree, over the last few years there's been more and more, they've given more more, um, they've given more people an insight into what that's like. they've kind of opened the doors up to, to up to us, i think more via social media as well, because, you know, there's been a lot of kind of the scenes. for of behind the scenes. for example, the coronation, example, during the coronation, i if you might i don't know if you might remember that. obviously the prince was some behind prince of wales was some behind the footage released and, the scenes footage released and, and that just you how much and that just shows you how much it's again, it's changing. and again, just how are people with the how they are as people with the hugging dare say, the hugging and the dare i say, the high fiving. even seen the high fiving. i've even seen the king high all these king do a high five. all these kind things just show how kind of things just show how it's changing. it's good it's changing. i think it's good to this. it's good do to do this. it's good to do these kind programs. these kind of programs. >> as one of the things that struck me, grant, was how relaxed the king appears. and you these you really do get to see these family play behind family dynamics at play behind the but of course, it's the scenes. but of course, it's very sad as because we very sad as well, because we understand he's still very understand that he's still very much his youngest but much loves his youngest son. but more more, he's just

more and more, he's just completely of fold here. >> i agree, i mean , as you say, >> i agree, i mean, as you say, you know, getting to see the king behind closed doors, he's got a great sense of humour. i think i've said this many times over and over. he's he's quite a fun character. i think there's a clip where you actually see him kind flapping, um, what kind of flapping, um, the what he's wearing robes and kind he's wearing the robes and kind of saying he can fly. of joking, saying he can fly. that's exactly the kind of little would little humour bits he would come outwith. um, i'm sure, as you say, there is obviously a degree of because would of sadness because as i would like to think that the relationship between him and hardy has has been on, um, fixed that they are speaking again, but i don't think any of us really know and it's quite sad because the kind of person he is, he's a very he is a kind and, um, considerate and, you know, he wants everyone to get on. that's what i remember working for him very much. i remember that of both of them, the king and queen, and they didn't kind of upsets didn't like any kind of upsets or going wrong within or anything going wrong within the household. so you can imagine family, imagine when it's family, i think this must be quite devastating, and i'm sure it's

something will fix. something he will want to fix. but how easy that is, is another is another question. know, is another question. you know, because just, um, not because it's not just, um, not like have normally like when we all have normally normal fallouts. this is normal family fallouts. this is a family grant. a very famous family grant. >> did of , um, a very famous family grant. >> did of, um, the >> what did you make of, um, the church service at sandringham yesterday? where for the first time in many years, we, we saw, um, sarah ferguson, the ex—wife of prince andrew. i don't think it attended christmas day at sandringham for 30 odd years . sandringham for 30 odd years. >> i was i thought it was quite interesting actually, because , interesting actually, because, again, is this a sign of the times changing within the royal family because, you know, at one time, uh, as a divorcee of a member of the royal family, you just didn't come back into the fold and but i think, as we've all noticed, she's been around. she hasn't completely gone. she's much always been by she's very much always been by her side. she's always her husband's side. she's always around daughters around with her two daughters and families . around with her two daughters and families. um, she's i've and the families. um, she's i've noficed and the families. um, she's i've noticed recently she's building up her profile again. quite a lot, which has been really nice to see. being invited to to see. and being invited to

church. that'll be an church. well, that'll be an invitation from the king. it invitation from the king. so it is definitely bringing her back into which really into the fold, which is a really nice to see. and, you nice thing to see. and, you know, also of me know, also kind of made me wonder is possible ? and did i wonder is it possible? and did i say this it possible that one say this is it possible that one day could see and prince day we could see her and prince andrew, um, remarry and, you know, because that hasn't escaped my mind, and i'm sure all you think the same, all of you think the same, because it's definitely a relationship that the two of them do to get on really them do seem to get on really well. and said, the king well. and as i said, the king seems quite happy bring her seems quite happy to bring her back the fold the royal back into the fold of the royal family they certainly do live >> well, they certainly do live together, in royal together, don't they? in royal lodge on the windsor estate. and of they both two of course they both share two daughters children of daughters who have children of their own. now >> exactly. and you say, >> exactly. and as you say, coming. know, the fact that coming. you know, the fact that they live together. uh, i don't know divorced couples that know many divorced couples that no normally live in no longer normally they live in other the country or other parts of the country or the not exactly the the world. not exactly in the same i think is same home, which i think is a great thing the great thing and shows the relationship between two of relationship between the two of them. think it's that them. and i think it's been that for many years. this is not a new thing. it's been like for a long, long time. so as i said, it wouldn't surprise me. maybe

they're of they're just adding the side of caution. they don't want to suddenly remarried suddenly get remarried and something wrong. maybe something to go wrong. so maybe they're just playing it safe, but surprise but it wouldn't surprise me if we see them, remarrying. we did see them, um, remarrying. >> let's be >> although, grant, let's be real here, royal lodge what, real here, royal lodge is, what, 30 bedroomed house? it's not exactly little bungalow, exactly a tiny little bungalow, so have to be in the so they don't have to be in the same all the time, do they? same room all the time, do they? they could in completely they could be in completely separate wings of the building. they could be in completely sepdote wings of the building. they could be in completely sepdo youings of the building. they could be in completely sepdo you knowf the building. they could be in completely sepdo you know camera?lding. they could be in completely sepdo you know camera? iiing. they could be in completely sepdo you know camera? i think >> do you know camera? i think we'd quite happy we we'd all be quite happy if we were a house like that were given a house like that and, know, had little and, you know, had a little humble as you say. it's humble house, as you say. it's definitely a mansion. and of course, they want to course, if they don't want to see each other, it's see each other, i'm sure it's more than in that more than possible in that property. again. again, uh, property. but again. again, uh, having having a i think having a having a there, i think that signifies something i really i could be really do. and i could be completely wrong. and, you know, um, but it just um, you never know, but it just appears that that appears to me that that relationship is getting stronger and i said, you and stronger. and as i said, you know, don't we've ever know, i don't know if we've ever had remarriage within the had a remarriage within the royal ever. i don't know royal family ever. i don't know if that's ever happened, but this is not within the realms of impossibility, think. this is not within the realms of imfwell,ility, think. this is not within the realms of imfwell,ility, this think. this is not within the realms of imfwell,ility, this space, >> well, watch this space, grant. uh, if you would grant. and, uh, if you would like know about the

relationship the emirates relationship with the emirates nafions relationship with the emirates nations the and middle nations and the and the middle east the last 1520 years or east over the last 1520 years or so. look, mean they're so. but look, i mean they're going they're earning going over they're earning hundreds millions of pounds. hundreds of millions of pounds. the absolutely the purses are absolutely enormous. seems enormous. and yet nobody seems to eyelid that we don't to bat an eyelid that we don't see anymore. can't see much boxing anymore. i can't remember time we had a remember the last time we had a really stellar bout. >> footballers get criticised really stellar bout. >> fibecause s get criticised really stellar bout. >> fibecause i get criticised really stellar bout. >> fibecause i suppose:ised really stellar bout. >> fibecause i suppose itad really stellar bout. >> fibecause i suppose it was then because i suppose it was crystallised around about the time of the world cup. >> last year. it was >> this time last year. it was brought into focus. and so when >> this time last year. it was brorsaudi,to focus. and so when >> this time last year. it was brorsaudi, whean. and so when >> this time last year. it was brorsaudi, when the .nd so when >> this time last year. it was brorsaudi, when the saudi when >> this time last year. it was brorsaudi, when the saudi public the saudi, when the saudi public investment started snooping investment fund started snooping around obviously around into sport, obviously they've in a big they've gone into golf in a big way. getting way. they're getting into football the big way football as well, in the big way as well. ronaldo is already already there. jordan henderson i set to pocket about i mean, he's set to pocket about £37 million for that contract. i mean, years he mean, he was 34 years old. he wasn't going to earn that at liverpool, though he's an liverpool, even though he's an excellent got he did excellent he got heavily. he did well. did because was well. he did because that was slightly because slightly different because he'd actually out and he'd actually come out and he'd always ally of the always been an ally of the lgbtq+ over the last lgbtq+ movement over the last couple years, and it just couple of years, and it just made people doubt his sincerity. anthony made people doubt his sincerity. antiinvolved in that side get involved in that side of things, politics. things, that side of politics. his view would be, well, you know, that's where fight is. know, that's where the fight is.

that's the most money is. that's where the most money is. i'm entitled to go here and of course he but seems course he is, but it just seems to seems very unfair and to me it seems very unfair and very peculiar that footballers and have and other sports people have attracted indeed media attracted some and indeed media personnel there and personnel going out there and covering matches at the world cup awful flak last cup got some awful flak last year going against saying year for going against saying saying one thing and doing completely they completely another boxing. they seem out. i don't seem to ride it out. i don't know why. >> yeah, perhaps it was the hypocrisy thing wearing hypocrisy thing of wearing a rainbow going rainbow armband and then going going anyway, lots going to saudi anyway, lots of horse happening on boxing horse racing happening on boxing day. >> yes. ea- day. >> yes. jump meetings >> yes. eight jump meetings today. great >> yes. eight jump meetings today. at great >> yes. eight jump meetings today. at aintree great >> yes. eight jump meetings today. at aintree fontwell at >> yes. eight jump meetings today. at aintree fontwell park, events at aintree fontwell park, market race and the big one, though king george vi chase, though the king george vi chase, 2.30 at kempton. brave man's game year, hasn't game won last year, hasn't managed form managed to replicate that form this but still fancied one this year but still fancied one of probably the second of the probably the second favourite allaho. of favourite behind allaho. some of our gb news and our viewers on gb news and listeners been contacting our viewers on gb news and list

land, christmas has been cancelled. has it ? land, christmas has been cancelled. has it? i mean, how cancelled. has it? i mean, how can it be celebrated at this time when we hear about what continues to be happening ? continues to be happening? >> good morning and, uh, merry christmas to you and your viewers. well uh, christmas was not cancelled . well, the not cancelled. well, the incarnation of , uh, jesus christ incarnation of, uh, jesus christ , it cannot be cancelled. what what what were cancelled ? the what what were cancelled? the festivities of christians of christmas this year as the war, uh, rages, um, uh, between between israel and, uh, the gaza strip . uh, and as we see the strip. uh, and as we see the horrible, uh , you know, pictures horrible, uh, you know, pictures coming out of gaza, it's really difficult to celebrate christmas . so this year , sorry. . so this year, sorry. >> go on. so, so this year, the head of churches in jerusalem and all the clergy in the palestinian territories , uh,

palestinian territories, uh, also including clergy and churches in jordan , decided to churches in jordan, decided to cancel all the festivities. >> so we, we there was no christmas tree this year, no decorations , no christmas carols decorations, no christmas carols , um, no bazaars , christmas , um, no bazaars, christmas bazaars, no activities outside the church that we usually enjoy. christians usually enjoy in palestine. you know, this is the epicentre of , uh, activities the epicentre of, uh, activities at christmas at the holy land . at christmas at the holy land. this is the very birthplace of our lord jesus christ. >> yes, in bethlehem, of course . >> yes, in bethlehem, of course. the town where that happened . the town where that happened. and we've seen over the last few days the picture of this nativity scene full of barbed wire . and the archbishop of wire. and the archbishop of canterbury in this country yesterday used his christmas christmas sermon to say that instead of , christmas sermon to say that instead of, uh, of angels in the skies of bethlehem, in its danger and fear. >> well, i think he's he's very much true because, uh, this year

is very different. you know, the fear, the uncertainties that are going on, the conflict , the going on, the conflict, the hatred that is mounting, uh, because of this war, um, is scaring everyone and people. cannot you know, travel from one place to another. we couldn't go to bethlehem , and many people to bethlehem, and many people didn't visit bethlehem this christmas. no pilgrims from around the world that usually visit and, uh, you know, there is no energy for joy. visit and, uh, you know, there is no energy forjoy. uh, this is no energy for joy. uh, this year , the death the death roll year, the death the death roll is, is terrifying. the injury , is, is terrifying. the injury, uh, roll is terrifying. the distress that is happening in gazais distress that is happening in gaza is horrible. and i think , gaza is horrible. and i think, uh, you know, all our, you know, people in palestine and in gaza and around the middle east, they don't have even the energy to enjoy the festivities of christmas . christmas. >> and it's so difficult, isn't it, because we talk, for example

, about, you know, the nativity and about jesus, mary and joseph looking for a room at the inn. yeah. and yet there are thousands upon thousands of people in gaza , and they've got people in gaza, and they've got no room. they've got nowhere to live . live. >> well, i think if we go, if you go back to the first christmas story, we see much similarities with the context thatis similarities with the context that is happening now in the holy land. and and, you know, even even the, uh, killing of children and the, uh, matthew story is , is reminiscent with story is, is reminiscent with the killing of many children's , the killing of many children's, uh, children in gaza. um, you know, the people who cannot find a place are running away from war. uh, it's also reminiscence with the story , a christmas with the story, a christmas story, as we see mary, joseph and baby jesus running away from bethlehem to egypt. so i think

the palestinians this year are living a real, uh, embody moment of that first christmas story , of that first christmas story, uh, that occurred, you know, to 2000 years ago. and if, if, i mean, i'm sure many people around the world are following what's happening in gaza, it is beyond words. it's beyond imagination . i mean, 60% of gaza imagination. i mean, 60% of gaza is destroyed and, uh, more than, uh 1 million and a half people are displaced , faced. um, nine, are displaced, faced. um, nine, nine, 9000 people are , um, uh, nine, 9000 people are, um, uh, under the rubble there. they're missing . and, you know, uh, no , missing. and, you know, uh, no, it seems for us palestinians as no one, no one cares as, uh, and the war continues to rage. and i think this is not the message of christmas, the message of christmas, the message of christmas is a message of peace , christmas is a message of peace, a message of reconciliation , a message of reconciliation, message of god's love to all humanity. and it teaches us that we need to , uh, enact peace in

we need to, uh, enact peace in our world. we need to enact love between us neighbours, uh, near and far. >> father , dear, your church was >> father, dear, your church was attacked just over a year ago . attacked just over a year ago. you talk of peace . but of you talk of peace. but of course, it's a very dangerous and fearful time for christians , and fearful time for christians, uh, particularly in that region. how do you christians stay safe and how do you celebrate christmas at a time like this ? christmas at a time like this? >> well, i think , um, uh, this >> well, i think, um, uh, this is this is one of the most, uh, tense times where people are really scared. scared about the future, scared about the, uh, their children , uh, about the their children, uh, about the future of their children. um, many parishes are now contemplating to leave , uh, you contemplating to leave, uh, you know, the holy land to find opfions know, the holy land to find options and other places around the world. i have been approached , uh, by many approached, uh, by many parishioners who are looking for

opportunities to leave. i think, you know , the security and you know, the security and safety , uh, gives people hope to safety, uh, gives people hope to continue to stay in the holy land. otherwise people are really afraid. and, you know, this is not something. this is not something new for us. this has been there for 75 years. this conflict is the longest in modern history. and i think , uh, modern history. and i think, uh, what makes people becoming more, uh, hopeless about, uh, the, the conflict is that there is no , no conflict is that there is no, no signs. uh, there are no signs in the future that this is going to end soon. and unless the international community intervenes, uh, to , to, uh, push intervenes, uh, to, to, uh, push both sides, uh, to sit together and, you know , end this, uh, and, you know, end this, uh, occupation and give the palestinians , um, a freedom to palestinians, um, a freedom to establish their, their state and, uh, to, to self—determine their future. this will continue

and this will continue to affect christianity in the holy land. i think , you know, as you know, think, you know, as you know, christians in the holy land today comprise lies, uh, only 1.2% and many have been leaving for the last 75 years. and i think this is very, uh, very dangerous for the presence of christianity in the holy land. and it's also very dangerous to the future of the area . the future of the area. >> okay, father . fadi diab live >> okay, father. fadi diab live from ramallah in the west bank. uh, really appreciate you talking to us because i think it's very easy for us here in the uk to be celebrating christmas and to not on purpose, but to momentarily forget, if you like. what what is happening where you are. and we really appreciate you joining us this morning. and we do send you our very, very best wishes . very, very best wishes. >> thank you very much. i do appreciate your your interview and raising the voices for those who are marginalised and left

the meteorological website in terms define white terms of how they define a white christmas now, because it's changed. they is changed. and what they said is that single flake of snow that if a single flake of snow falls anywhere uk , falls anywhere in the uk, between that 24 hour period from the that will the 24th of december, that will count white christmas, count as a white christmas, which think is cheating a bit, which i think is cheating a bit, even if it is very warm. >> and it happened the >> and it happened in the scottish highlands. now, andrew, unwanted know, grateful because, you know, as grateful as we are, there's always some of to sell things on. >> on. >> we say just a few of us, but actually it's a huge percentage. i say a third of young people will sell on a third. how grateful is that? >> just people? >> why just young people? >> why just young people? >> well, i don't know, because i think the old people just don't confess doing it. i think. confess to doing it. i think. but saying online but they're saying the online auction so on and so auction sites and so on and so forth, and they're it's forth, and they're saying it's about survey was for 18 to about the survey was for 18 to 34 year olds, 3 in 10, 34 year olds, nearly 3 in 10, 29% plan to sell their unwanted gifts, which is a sort of begs the question about why would you do whole thing do that? and this whole thing about christmas and forcing people to have fun and forcing them to exchange gifts and on them to exchange gifts and so on and so which they don't and so forth, which they don't really want to do. i think we

need to have a bit more honesty about it. so, and works on that sort of principle. >> i'll be your younger to sort of principle. >>your i'll be your younger to sort of principle. >> your research. our younger to sort of principle. >> your research. you'rejnger to unwanted. >> i don't normally resell them. what to do if i get what i tend to do if i get a christmas gift i don't like, is i will gift it to someone else. you know, it's quite often that thing. you have a dinner party, someone over bad bottle someone brings over a bad bottle of just give the of wine. you just give it to the next person. when you go to a dinner party at their house. and i in this story as well, i think in this story as well, andrew about one third of andrew talks about one third of young people. actually one young people. it's actually one 1 in general 1 in 6 people in general actually their unwanted actually list their unwanted christmas websites. christmas gifts on websites. so it's do. and it's something we all do. and i think it's a good way to counter waste. >> that is that is very true. >> that is that is very true. >> you could give it to a charity shop as well. it's always another alternative. >> both like this >> now you're both like this story um, a few days story because, um, a few days ago, the from birmingham ago, the team from birmingham dogs joined nigel as dogs home joined nigel farage as they channel to talk they came on the channel to talk to us about their busiest period of the year. we know that it's such a busy time rescue such a busy time for rescue charities, particularly as animals, often, uh, get abandoned more than abandoned at christmas more than at time of year. yeah at any other time of year. yeah >> and nigel, nigel has

starting to get busy and what are people on the hunt for? >> good morning. yes. and happy boxing day . yes. there's boxing day. yes. there's a steady stream of shoppers. i'd say we can see zara behind us here. we've got people coming in and out. jd is quite popular as well, but it's been different opening times today, so years ago it used to be 6 am. boxing day sales started , but the shops day sales started, but the shops are opening all at different times today, so it's starting from between 8 and 10. so we are getting that steady stream. and in terms of what people have been buying, well, we're joined now by tony and holly. they got off bright and early this morning to leeds and do morning to come to leeds and do some boxing day shopping. what are you lookout for today are you on the lookout for today and brought out into and what's brought you out into the stores? >> i've just been on the lookout for to be shoes , for anything. to be fair, shoes, t shirts, jackets, just whatever is on a decent good sale that i think's worth buying, is on a decent good sale that i think's worth buying , to be fair. >> and what is it you like about coming into the store? i prefer coming into the store? i prefer coming into the store? i prefer coming into the store because you naturally look and feel and

see what the clothes and the shoes and whatever's like . shoes and whatever's like. >> you're buying >> and if you're buying aftershave, can aftershave, whatever, you can actually you can actually smell it and you can actually smell it and you can actually see stuff fits actually see what stuff fits like instead of just it like instead of just buying it onune like instead of just buying it online then up returning online and then end up returning it. it doesn't fit anyway. so it. if it doesn't fit anyway. so you may as well just come when the are and get them, the sales are here and get them, because some sales are in—store only. and then only. you buy them and then they're and you won't get they're gone and you won't get that sale ever again. >> so and these opening times have you both bit. have confused you both a bit. you them down last night. >> we wrote them all down last night. they said some shops are opening some are nine, opening at eight, some are nine, some there's couple some are ten. there's a couple that opening even at 11. so that are opening even at 11. so we've got here nice and early, just for the shops to open at eight and then just potter about until eight and then just potter about unfil and eight and then just potter about until and just what's until 9:00 and just see what's open at nine and ten and us open at nine and ten and show us what your bag. open at nine and ten and show us what are your bag. open at nine and ten and show us what are things your bag. open at nine and ten and show us what are things froer bag. open at nine and ten and show us what are things from size.]. there are things from size. >> we've got a suede shoe cleaner and oh my god , a dickies cleaner and oh my god, a dickies hat keeps you nice and warm for work and is boxing day sales. >> is this a tradition that you've always done, or is it just something to do today with

my mum and dad and family, i usually we usually do sometimes come out on boxing day and just see what we can grab. >> if there's any good sales there is usually good sales on, depending of depending what you're after. of course to 50. course it's up to 50. >> i've seen , isn't it? so you >> i've seen, isn't it? so you think can get quite a good think you can get quite a good deal? >> e- e— >> yeah, you can get a good deal >> yeah, you can get a good deal. but throughout years deal. but throughout the years they do sales anyway, so it's some you and you some sales you you get and you think a good deal, but think that's a good deal, but you probably it all year you probably get it all year round. some stuff is round. but some stuff is genuinely just boxing genuinely just a boxing day sale. genuinely just a boxing day sal

that you could go in and get. so the change in face of the high street, i would say also reflects in boxing day sales and how they've changed a little bit further down the high street. here marks and here we can see marks and spencer's. they are offering 50% off today , but it's not actually off today, but it's not actually today that they're opening. they're giving their staff the day off. they're rewarding them for all the hard work they've done throughout christmas in the retail period. they're not retail period. and they're not actually until tomorrow. actually opening until tomorrow. of course , you buy online, of course, you can buy online, but going in the stores, it's not an experience for marks and spencer's. neither is it. next we used to see the scenes where people would camp out on christmas day to get the best bargains in next. that's not the case anymore. they're giving their staff the day off and so are other big retailers like john lewis as well. they're giving their staff the day off today, along with aldi and lidl. but we'll be here throughout the day in leeds seeing how much sales do pick up. and i think those different times of

different shops opening is certainly contributed to the steady flow that we'll probably see throughout the day, but certainly boxing day not that big, frenzied shopping experience that we used to have years ago . and we've seen from years ago. and we've seen from research that's been done as well. it'll be 14% of people that will be coming out and doing boxing day sales. that's down 9% last year. there was 23% people that came out and did it. and there's a contributing factors towards that. one of them is the cost of living crisis that people are still facing now. they've spent a lot of money already on christmas gifts and they, you know, but there is still that experience of people wanting to come into the and we'll be reporting the shops and we'll be reporting on the day for on that throughout the day for you. >> yeah, there's certainly some changing shopping habits. anna, thank much we'll join thank you so much. we'll join you a later . moving now. you a bit later. moving on now. keir has been warned by keir starmer has been warned by countryside to not countryside campaigners to not cancel boxing day fox hunts. >> they believe that if he does, it could start a toxic culture war against rural life.

>> around 250 fox hunts happen every year, and prove to be popular with brits across the country. >> well, we're joined now by our south—west of england reporter jeff moody. a very good morning to you , jeff. happy boxing day. to you, jeff. happy boxing day. now you're in lewes, aren't you? and they've had a bit of a, a bit of an interesting time between animal rights activists and hunters. tell us, tell us what's gone on there . yeah certainly. >> well, if you're as old and decrepit as me, you'll remember that it was 20, 30 years ago. now that the fox hunting ban was going through parliament, going through the various motions and the strength of feeling was , is the strength of feeling was, is was very, very, very high. the countryside alliance argued vociferously and they argued passionately and angrily for their way of life. they said that the ban would mean that the rural communities would be decimated , and it was the first decimated, and it was the first big organisation and protest

group to butt heads with tony blair, who was at the height of his powers in the early 21st century. but to 30 years on, um , century. but to 30 years on, um, the anger has has tamed considerably the countryside alliance has said that they got it wrong a little bit, that rural communities weren't decimated. they were able to work within the law. they were able to carry on with their way of life. but at the same time, tony blair also backed down and said in recent years that actually he got it wrong too, and that he shouldn't have been quite so vociferously against the fox hunters. well, i'm here at the southdown and eridge hunt. earlier on, i spoke to warren marshall because now, of course, there's the prospect of another labour government coming in, which obviously makes them a little bit wary , particularly little bit wary, particularly considering that labour is saying that they will actually look at the situation and to and look at the situation and to and look to close a lot of those

loopholes . so i spoke to warren loopholes. so i spoke to warren marshall just now , and this is marshall just now, and this is what he had to say to me just recently. >> they've been warned by their own lord mandelson that , um, it own lord mandelson that, um, it would be wrong if they want rural votes , as they will need rural votes, as they will need at the next general election to gain a majority , uh, to pick a gain a majority, uh, to pick a fight that they really don't need to fight . but there is a need to fight. but there is a fight here because the anti—fox hunting league has organised a did organise a wheelbarrow race to take place in lewes at exactly the same time , because exactly the same time, because they felt that it would frustrate the hunt's plans because the road that normally is closed for the hunt was now closed for the wheelbarrow race, which was going to raise money for local food banks. >> so the hunt has organised their hunt to come forward an hour. their hunt to come forward an hour . so the their hunt to come forward an hour. so the hunt, instead of being at 11, it's at 10:00. instead so everyone's coming a little bit earlier to try and get through that problem. and we

heard late last night that the wheelbarrow have wheelbarrow race people have decided it isn't decided that actually it isn't particularly safe to have a wheelbarrow race. at the same time as you've got horses and hounds and hundreds of people supporting the hunt. so the wheelbarrow has been wheelbarrow race has been cancelled . but for quite some cancelled. but for quite some time over christmas there was a lot of toing and froing, a lot of shenanigans from both sides as to how these two events the wheelbarrow race from the anti—hunt people and the hunt itself take place safely itself could take place safely in a public area over christmas, but that has now been resolved. the hunt has won. they are taking their hunt at 10:00, but they are going to be raising some money themselves for local food so they're not food banks too, so they're not going be missing out. going to be missing out. >> okay. jeff moody in lewes for us, very much . and us, thank you very much. and it's such a contentious issue and we had a bit of a discussion about it earlier and plenty of you got in touch with your thoughts. cameron >> says we should >> yeah. tony says we should reinstate hunting, not it reinstate hunting, not ban it further . further. >> yeah, but john says it's not a sport. it's barbaric . these

a sport. it's barbaric. these hunters should be locked up . hunters should be locked up. >> chris says in the 21st century, the only bizarre thing is hooray, hooray! henrys thinking it's desirable to hunt animals either to be snared , animals either to be snared, shot or ripped to shreds by a pack of hounds. it's barbaric, is what chris says, and clive claims that more foxes, deer and sheep are killed due to irresponsible dog owners letting them run wild in the country side more than are killed by the hunt. yeah, it's certainly a contentious issue, isn't it? and douglas says he always thought that foxes were classed as vermin. so yes , he does support vermin. so yes, he does support fox hunting. keep those views coming in complete gear change now because it's competition time. >> we're asking if you would like to win £10,000 cash. brand new tech and shopping vouchers. you could be the winner of our very first great british giveaway . here's all the details i >> -- >> time is ticking on your chance to become the very first winner of the great british giveaway and grab cash , tech and giveaway and grab cash, tech and a ton of treats. there's a
