9:39 am
sense, it's very to easy say, well, i'll just tell you why. because everyone blames her for the fact harry's estranged from his family. he's the royal. >> so glad you said that. feminist andrew pierce. knew feminist andrew pierce. who knew you had that? >> no. he's the royal. could >> no. he's the royal. he could say sorry. say to his wife, i'm sorry. we're going keep we're not going to keep attacking my i was attacking my family. i was a born a royal. i was born a prince. we've done very well out of it. had a good life, of it. he's had a good life, a very privileged life. he should have said to her. he's too have said no to her. he's too weak okay. perhaps she weak and okay. she perhaps she has walked over him, but he's gone along with it. yeah. >> hasn't had a gun his >> she hasn't had a gun to his head when he's made all of these decisions, of decisions, regardless of the conversations having conversations they're having at home of them and home between the two of them and i she often um, you i think she often gets, um, you know, responsibility for this. and they just presume that he's a not marriage. a messenger, not a marriage. >> exactly. and at i >> takes two. exactly. and at i think. but think is think. but what i think is hugely significant. the prince the king flew by helicopter from the king flew by helicopter from the helipad in buckingham palace to sandringham. it's not as if he had to get an easyjet flight or a british airways flight. he could have delayed that helicopter any time he liked. he
9:40 am
could with him. could have taken harry with him. there's the helicopter. there's room in the helicopter. uh, he just didn't trust him , in uh, he just didn't trust him, in my view. >> clearly. my view. >> get clearly. my view. >> get outirly. my view. >> get out of '. my view. >> get out of here. >> get out of here. >> see what thinks. he's >> see what cameron thinks. he's there the ground in there on the ground in buckingham morning, buckingham palace. good morning, cameron our cameron walker. you hear our speculation here? the king could have presumably said, let's put the kettle on. have a packet of biscuits and proper catch biscuits and have a proper catch up. he didn't. he got up. but he didn't. he got straight back in helicopter straight back in his helicopter and, um, slung his hook after half an hour . half an hour. >> well, the thing is, bev, he did. according to some of the papers this morning, delay that helicopter flight from buckingham palace. so he could meet youngest son. he was meet his youngest son. he was expected to leave london a lot earlier than planned, but the fact that prince harry had made the journey across the atlantic to him meant that the king to see him meant that the king decided to delay the helicopter, according to a source speaking to the sun newspaper this morning. as know, prince morning. so, as we know, prince harry around lunchtime harry landed at around lunchtime after the 10.5 hour flight. he was whisked off to the private vip suite , got into vip windsor suite, got into a black suv, escorted by two police cars. he was inside
9:41 am
clarence house for 45 minutes. that's what we know. and then the papers are reporting this morning, the times and the sun specifically that the meeting lasted for around half an hour. now as we've all been saying this morning, why that this morning, why is it that he's flown across the atlantic for a an hour meeting for only a half an hour meeting with the king? a source close to williams told me, there are absolutely for william absolutely no plans for william and harry to meet, which shows that their relationship is clearly um , very, very clearly still, um, very, very rocky indeed. and yet the king and harry did make time to see each other for half an hour, but it seems like a very short amount of time before the king and queen escaped. literally kind of from the buckingham palace a helicopter to palace garden in a helicopter to sandringham the other sandringham. now, on the other hand, the royal family is different to us, isn't it? and the clearly, despite the the king, clearly, despite the fact he's had a cancer diagnosis , has an incredibly busy schedule and it could well be perfectly normal for him and his son to only have a half an hour meeting. i think to most of us, if you're flying halfway across
9:42 am
the world, you're going to spend longer than half an with longer than half an hour with a family member. but for the royal family, be family, that could just be normal. it's the optics normal. but it's the optics which the problem here. the which are the problem here. the fact that such a short fact that it was such a short meeting then harry left very meeting and then harry left very swiftly, and then the and swiftly, and then the king and queen after queen left very swiftly after that. i think perhaps speaks volumes and according to volumes here. and according to the we haven't volumes here. and according to the it we haven't volumes here. and according to the it confirmed we haven't volumes here. and according to the it confirmed by we haven't volumes here. and according to the it confirmed by buckingham had it confirmed by buckingham palace, plans for palace, there are no plans for harry or his father to meet again. and that was the first time they'd actually spoken to each other in 16 months. >> it's pretty damning, isn't it, cameron? in terms of the future of their relationship, thank you very much. we'll be coming later in the show coming to you later in the show as there in as well. this morning there in people people think they people palace, people think they talk the at coronation. talk to the at the coronation. >> they didn't. the last time they was queen's they spoke was at the queen's funeral. he had a he sat he funeral. he he had a he sat he sat behind princess anne's plumed hat. if you remember, at the didn't stick the coronation, he didn't stick around . they didn't around for lunch. they didn't talk at all. so last time we talk at all. so the last time we spoke cameron says 16 spoke to him, as cameron says 16 months queen's months ago, the queen's coronation, tell you, coronation, it does tell you, sorry, queen's funeral. sorry, the queen's funeral. >> it feels like the charles has got the shutters down.
9:43 am
>> said, well, if >> the king has said, well, if you've one too many chances, you've had one too many chances, if keep monitoring if you keep monitoring your disputes your parents, with disputes with your parents, with your brother your family, your brother and your family, your brother and your law your your sister in law and your father, what do you expect? >> he be trusted. >> he can't be trusted. >> he can't be trusted. >> let us know what think. >> let us know what you think. vaiews@gbnews.com email vaiews@gbnews.com is the email address after this very quick break. has some break. gb news has seen some leaked home office files relating to rwanda you will relating to rwanda and you will not the amount of not believe the amount of illegal arrivals who would be removed even if removed each year, even if rwanda gets off the ground. leader of reform uk richard tice has plenty to say about it. you do not want to

9:46 am
gb news. very good morning. it's 946. thank you for joining very good morning. it's 946. thank you forjoining us on thank you for joining us on britain's newsroom. so gb news has exclusively seen files looking at the rwanda policy. and they show that a whopping 112% of illegal arrivals would be removed each year. in the best case scenario . best case scenario. >> so it's ridiculous. this means the maximum number of deportations in the first year would be a mere 500. the home
9:47 am
office . get this the office says. get this the grander scheme is uncapped . the grander scheme is uncapped. the number of people to be removed to random will depend on a range of factors. we don't comment on unverified documents. in unverified leaked documents. in other it. >> well, in the studio is the leader reform uk richard leader of reform uk richard tice. um, these are leaked documents. richard this is nigel farages project. i understand, um, what do you make of those figures when you hear that horrifying and not surprising. >> i mean, because nobody's got any confidence whatsoever in the home office. utterly incompetent . we've got the other case of this clapham attacker. uh and the incompetence and the negligence around that. but that home office statement saying that it's uncapped , we basically that it's uncapped, we basically know that's not true . that's the know that's not true. that's the reality. and i think that the truth is that the prime minister and the former home secretary and the former home secretary and the former home secretary and the current home secretary are, at best, they've deliberately misled the british people. worst , they people. at worst, they have knowingly lied to the british people. this is incredibly serious as to what's going on
9:48 am
here. they spent hundreds of millions of pounds and a year, a year of parliament time on something that at best, in the first year, it's a few hundred people, which we've all been saying it's not a deterrent at all. so if it's about i think they've spent 280 million so far in rwanda so far. >> if they if that's only 500 migrants are kicked over there for the first year, work out per migrant. >> it's very simple. whether it's 30,000 40,000, it's it's 30,000 or 40,000, it's a massive number coming across the channel every the idea channel every year. the idea that if 500 get sent to rwanda, that's a deterrent is for the birds. anybody with an iota of common sense will know that. that's ridiculous. that's not a deterrent. it's a joke . it's deterrent. it's a joke. it's a farce. and they've been wasting our hundreds of millions of our cash on this ridiculous scheme. and quite rightly, people up and down the country are aghast, are furious . i'm hearing it every furious. i'm hearing it every day of the week from people. the anger about this and this will just grow and i see the prime minister is now rowing back a little on the bet he had with
9:49 am
another broadcaster whose name we don't mention here, that there will be a rwanda flight in there will be a rwanda flight in the air before the general election. >> he trapped because he had >> he got trapped because he had to show confidence the scheme. >> but but it doesn't matter. the point it's not the point is it's not a deterrent. and the whole line of the government been that the government has been that this deterrent. it's not. this is a deterrent. it's not. it's a joke. it's a farce. but they can't be honest with us now because literally because they've literally i mean, everything the mean, they've put everything the whole government's mode was operandi is on this working. it's very simple. how do you stop the boats? you pick up and you safely take it back to france, which you're legally entitled to do. i'm the only politician who is saying this is what needs to be done. it will work. we know works because work. we know it works because it in australia. and the it works in australia. and the fact none them have said fact that none of them have said i'm wrong on my interpreter, none of the international treaties means that know treaties means that they know i'm they didn't admit i'm right. but they didn't admit it because it would be too embarrassing, humiliating. it because it would be too equtterlyng, humiliating. it because it would be too equtterly disgraceful,iliating. it because it would be too equtterly disgraceful, this ng. it's utterly disgraceful, this lack of leadership, if they did it, it would be a game changer. of course it would, but it would
9:50 am
upset their globalist friends, right? >> it would upset the position of this government on the global stage. >> that's why they won't do it, which is what happened with tony abbott did in abbott when they did it in australia 11 years ago, and it upset a few of the lefties and the un and the international bodies. >> but guess what? years >> but guess what? 11 years later, boats are still not later, the boats are still not coming to australia. both coming to australia. and both parties political parties of either political persuasion that persuasion have continued that policy. rocket policy. this stuff isn't rocket science it's so science and why it's so important is that people are dying the english channel. dying in the english channel. we've at we've already sadly lost at least year. thousands least five this year. thousands are dying the mediterranean are dying in the mediterranean every with this level of every year with this level of leadership, almost leadership, those deaths, almost all stop . i think all of them would stop. i think that's the kind and compassionate to do. compassionate thing to do. >> i agree, people are dying >> i agree, and people are dying here some people who arrive here from some people who arrive here from some people who arrive here with unknown and untold traumatic themselves , traumatic damage to themselves, carrying out attacks like the clapham chemical attack that we've seen this week. are you still on the run? and this guy still on the run? and this guy still on the run? and that is one of at least three asylum seekers who committed acts of violence against people in violence against other people in thisoh no, it's i'm actually >> oh no, it's i'm actually trying to get to the bottom of
9:51 am
the numbers because i think the numbers are deliberately being covered up by the authorities because they are too. i mean, i think there's a serious issue here, and i think they're being covered up. i think the authorities owe the truth authorities owe us the truth because that there are because we know that there are these of violence, rape, these acts of violence, of rape, of knifing , and indeed of murder of knifing, and indeed of murder . and there's an article in today's telegraph by allison pearson relating to it, listing out just some of the examples. and this is aiding and abetted by various churches up and down the country. and the abuse that human rights lawyers and priests and others , they know this is and others, they know this is going on. they know they're deliberately circumventing the rules by this conversion to christianity . christianity. >> it's so disgusting the way they're gaming the system and they're gaming the system and the way these church of england vicars are going along with it. and then we see the church of england bishops in the house of lords. richard deliberately trying and you don't trying to scupper and you don't think scheme works, think the grander scheme works, but the rwanda but trying to stop the rwanda thing they illegal thing because they want illegal migrants continue cross migrants to continue to cross

10:12 am
meghan or the kids. that is really what his dad would really love to see. will it heal the rift in the royal family >> i very much doubt it because there's only one person wearing there's only one person wearing the in family, and the trousers in that family, and the trousers in that family, and the name is meghan. >> i just hope that william and harry can put their differences aside and think about their father. stop all the animosity . father. stop all the animosity. >> well, prince william is back at work today. gb news presenter pip tomson is in windsor. um, is william working at windsor this morning? uh, pip. good morning . morning? uh, pip. good morning. >> good morning to you. i'm glad we had viewers thoughts there because if you'd have come to me any earlier, there was a big white van straight behind me, and you'd have seen absolutely diddly squat. but i am outside windsor castle because that is where prince william is this morning for an investiture ceremony. it is one of his royal dufies. ceremony. it is one of his royal duties . he does these duties. he does these investiture ceremonies alongside his father, king charles and princess anne, but it is the
10:13 am
first time he has been back on duty since his father's cancer diagnosis, and indeed since kate's . catherine's, the kate's. catherine's, the princess of wales operation last month . he has, of course, been month. he has, of course, been helping to look after their three children at their home at adelade cottage here on the windsor estate. now one of those receiving honours today is former england striker ellen white. she is getting an mba so that ceremony is expected to last an hour or so. and then later today prince william will be heading into central london for a glitter ring gala dinner in aid of the london air ambulance . and we talk about, ambulance. and we talk about, yes, prince harry has has been in town . it is suggested that he in town. it is suggested that he stayed overnight at a hotel because we know he was evicted from frogmore cottage, don't we? and there are no plans. we understand , for him to meet up understand, for him to meet up with his older brother. but even if he wanted to go, it doesn't seem today like prince william would have any time anyway. and the big question, of course, is how long will prince harry
10:14 am
actually be on uk soil? or will he be back on that plane today? 5000 mile trip back to california. meanwhile prince charles, he is convalescing and taking it easy. some three hours away at sandringham . um. away at sandringham. um. >> all right. okay thank you. pip pip tomson there at, uh, windsor castle. uh, joining us now is royal biographer angela levin. not not normally prince harry's biggest fan. good morning. angela um, maybe maybe you've revised your opinion of harry now that he made this journey to come and see his father after this diagnosis. well i did like him hugely. >> i wrote his biography, spent 15 months with him and thought he was terrific. so i feel that now he's so changed and different . um, that actually i different. um, that actually i can say exactly what i think because i have known him. what's very interesting and shows a lot about him is the way he's arrived here. um, if you know you have a father who you
10:15 am
haven't seen for a long time, who you know is just heard that he's got cancer and that he's obviously , you know, even if he obviously, you know, even if he feels positive about him, as the king has said, it's a huge shock. i think you should ring up. you should say, i would love to come. please tell my father because he won't get through straight away that i would love to come and see him, but i don't want to come at a bad time. i don't want to upset him or in any way. can you tell me what would suit him? this trip seems to be 100% harry. he flies off in a rush. he gets here when the helicopter is already to take, um, king and queen away . they. um, king and queen away. they. and he he wants to talk. it's all about him. he's done this loads of times before . before. loads of times before. before. but you'd imagine when there's a huge illness standing in the way that he would actually think about what his father needed before forehand. he would turn up and get very , very angry. if
10:16 am
up and get very, very angry. if the king couldn't see him. now, you know, the king works incredibly hard. he has engaged from morning till night and, um, harry felt he should drop everything and speak to him. and this is a continuation of this . this is a continuation of this. so i think that harry has not changed. he hasn't suddenly got a loving feeling and wants to be there. and, um , show what he there. and, um, show what he feels really and truly in his heart about his father. he's the same harry, and i suspect it may be even an idea of meghan's to send him over to build up their lack of popularity in america . lack of popularity in america. >> could could he? sorry? could he be with him now? no. do we know where harry is right now? >> no. he's definitely not. >> no. he's definitely not. >> no, he's not with them. >> no, he's not with them. >> no, he's not with them. >> no, he's no the. >> sorry. the king and queen went off helicopter . went off in the helicopter. yeah. um, and they decided before that they're not going to change what they're doing with harry. they can't drop harry. they can't just drop everything comes , when everything when he comes, when he's so rude and he gives he's been so rude and he gives
10:17 am
them notice. you them very little notice. you can't do that. so he's definitely in london, but maybe he's on his way to the airport. that i don't know. angela, i think part of the issue will be as well for the king and queen camilla. >> they cannot trust him because conversations before conversations they've had before for been private, have for that have been private, have made, his book. made, have gone into his book. they've into his podcast, they've gone into his podcast, they've to they've gone on to his interviews with oprah winfrey . interviews with oprah winfrey. he's monetised private conversation , and we don't know conversation, and we don't know what cancer prince the king has got . if he told harry the next got. if he told harry the next thing it could be on an american talk show. how can they ever trust him well they can't. >> i mean, that's harry's fault , >> i mean, that's harry's fault, isn't it? he's absolutely isn't it? um, he's absolutely lost it. and one once. you can't trust somebody, it's very, very difficult to trust them again because you feel he's either going to try and make money out of it, or he's going to find a small error that he then can make a huge complaint about. and it's all being negative. he does look very negative, nor will he compromise . he used to be compromise. he used to be somebody who would and negotiate
10:18 am
with other people in the royal family had roused. he was known for putting things right, but now he's known for putting things wrong. isn't he? and he just will do. um do as much as he can to make sure he's right. and his father is not. >> angela. i think it's quite significant, too, isn't it, that the king chose to go to sandringham yesterday, february the sixth? that, of course, was the sixth? that, of course, was the day that george vi, the queen's father, died at sandringham on february the 6th. that's when her reign started. so that would have been quite a significant moment for the king. returning to sandringham on that day, that very special anniversary . anniversary. >> yes, special >> yes, the special anniversaries when his father died, when he died of cancer. so it's an awful lot to think about. and it's a very sad , about. and it's a very sad, heavy thing to, to work through. and i think when he goes to a place that he loves, where there's peace , where people there's peace, where people won't see him driving anywhere or putting any under pressure under him , um, that he could
10:19 am
under him, um, that he could actually relax and walk about. but he and meghan , but he and but he and meghan, but he and camilla like to do best is to sit in a room with the fire and read a book. they don't need to talk to each other. they just like the peace of sitting there . like the peace of sitting there. >> oh, she's gone . oh, i think >> oh, she's gone. oh, i think we should just have a minute. it sounds absolutely idyllic that should we just have a minute and sit here in silence and read a book? >> the views are probably like that in your case. >> anyway. >> anyway. >> what a lovely life. imagine you have the time to just sit and the fire read a book. and by the fire and read a book. that's i for. to be that's what i long for. to be fair to the king, he does work long hours and after dinners when he goes to these rather boring. >> somehow, because i've >> i think somehow, because i've been to some of them. yeah. he then to his study. then goes back to his study. carries on work. don't blame him. writing letters. him. he's he's writing letters. he's phone calls, sudoku. him. he's he's writing letters. he'does phone calls, sudoku. him. he's he's writing letters. he'does call phone calls, sudoku. him. he's he's writing letters. he'does call people :alls, sudoku. him. he's he's writing letters. he'does call people sometimes u. him. he's he's writing letters. he'does call people sometimes at he does call people sometimes at one morning. one in the morning. >> he does not. >> does he? he does not. >> does he? he does not. >> me take call. >> me. i take his call. >> me. i take his call. >> i sell insight . right. still >> i sell insight. right. still to man united be one to come man united might be one of the richest clubs in the world, but there talk that

wet . the whole thing on. the fans. the fans don't get wet. the whole thing is ridiculous. and um, basically, they're very jealous of the fact that manchester city , um, that manchester city, um, barcelona real madrid, they've all got these fantastic stadiums and, um, you know, if the whole thing is vanity and why the taxpayer should pay for it , taxpayer should pay for it, heaven alone knows not at all. >> and rat cliff is a very rich man, isn't he, chris? >> he's a billionaire, isn't he? probably britain's richest man. and as i recall, um, he he's a tax exile. living somewhere like monaco. so he's got plenty of money. he can rebuild it himself. >> spot on. you're spot on. he lives in monaco. he's a tax exile. um so he's asking people who pay their taxes to pay for his stadium. i mean, truly, it's quite shocking. um, and why on earth . okay, look, manchester earth. okay, look, manchester united is a very big football club. the world's biggest in terms of fans. but honestly , um,
10:26 am
terms of fans. but honestly, um, there are other football clubs , there are other football clubs, um, in the north. um, just the north need a wembley type stadium . arguably not. um the stadium. arguably not. um the whole thing is crazy . what it whole thing is crazy. what it shows actually, is that tim ratcliffe might be the richest man. he hasn't got much spare cash for building a stadium these days. costs a fortune. the other worry for the fans is that old trafford is where their history is. there's the alex ferguson statue and there's the bobby charlton stand where all the famous matches were at, and he becomes the guy who says if along comes a guy who says, i love this club, i love it so much, i'm going to knock the stadium down, um, and build a new one. i mean, and by the way, the taxpayers paying for it because i'm not going to i mean, honestly, makes my makes your honestly, it makes my makes your blood . andrew. mine's blood boil. andrew. mine's foaming over. >> chris. i'm born and bred in a family of man united fans. as you know, my dad will be watching you for you , but my dad
10:27 am
watching you for you, but my dad will be watching this today . and will be watching this today. and maybe, maybe you could argue, well, hang on a minute. as you say, it's the biggest club in the world. i don't know what the capacity is of old trafford, i should know that. but maybe if they could double the capacity of would be of old trafford, it would be great the great for great for the area. great for that area salford and that that area of salford and that area manchester. area of manchester. >> yeah. the capacity of old trafford at the moment is 74,000. um wembley is 90,000 and the argument is that you'll have a wembley in the north and you'll be able to play england matches in the north. well, they already have. they already happenin already have. they already happen in the north. i mean they moved them around, say sometimes play moved them around, say sometimes play for old trafford, they sometimes play manchester sometimes play at manchester city . but the emirates sometimes play at manchester city. but the emirates um uh sorry the etihad. um or they go to saint james's park in newcastle and regardless of what your family think and i adore your family think and i adore your family. um, but but you know, manchester is not the centre of the universe. it is
10:28 am
not the it is not the capital of the. it's the self—proclaimed capital of the north. but it's not. you know, there are other northern cities. >> hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. chris blackhurst as a proud mancunian girl. as a fan of the biggest football club in the world, manchester. >> my wife's from alderley edge and that posh manchester. >> but listen. but you could. but maybe there is an argument that maybe if you could build a stadium that seated 150,000 fans, they could get those in every great the every weekend. great for the local economy, hotels, the local economy, the hotels, the restaurants. you could then put beyonce and play in beyonce could come and play in there and that's fine. the tax look, i've got no problem with that. >> if tim ratcliffe and the glazers want to build a stadium for £150,000, who are paying manchester united for their tickets and the revenue goes to jim ratcliffe and the glazers, that's fine. that's private enterprise. but why should the taxpayer bill the stadium for £150,000? so they can line their
10:29 am
pockets ? it's madness. pockets? it's madness. >> chris. the other point is , >> chris. the other point is, which you you alluded to, ratcliffe, is supposed to love manchester united and the manchester united and the manchester united and the manchester united fans are probably thrilled he's got a got a toehold in the club now but it shows a scant lack of respect for history of the club. if for the history of the club. if one of the first things you want to do is flatten on the ground, which even i've heard of, old trafford the most trafford is probably the most iconic stadium the iconic football stadium in the country. europe >> it shows a misjudgement of my view. i mean, there's no doubt. look, the fans have been complaining . they've complained complaining. they've complained to my book about to me when i wrote my book about the old trafford . the state of old trafford. listen, i go to fulham . i'm a listen, i go to fulham. i'm a fulham season ticket holder. my stand was built in 1901. it has wooden floors, wooden seats. i can barely bend my knees and the turnstile is almost two narrow for people like me to get in. um, and that's football. for people like me to get in. um, and that's football . and i um, and that's football. and i it's like living in a museum. but united fans are very entitled. i get that, you know, big history, but but you know,
10:30 am
if you want that stadium, pay for it yourselves . for it yourselves. >> what about if there's some sort of revenue share with manchester city council that would work, wouldn't it? if we get some talks about manchester city, about look , i'm not city, what about look, i'm not i'm from i'm from barrow, i'm not from i'm from barrow, which is much further north. >> but you know , next thing you >> but you know, next thing you know is that stockport county, they're in manchester. why don't they're in manchester. why don't they have a stadium built . you they have a stadium built. you know, let's have them 150,000. i mean, it's madness . mean, it's madness. >> it really is. >> it really is. >> it really is. >> i think it's a great debate though. chris blackhurst always nice to see you. i'm so sorry that you're fulham fan. i can that you're a fulham fan. i can only you my sympathies. only give you my sympathies. a lot of londoners in that stadium, that's that's the cheap shot. >> cheap shot. >> cheap shot. >> right, robbie, to talk to you. >> let us know to come. yeah. let know what you think at home. >> i don't think anybody's going to agree the taxpayer to agree with the taxpayer giving a billionaire to giving money to a billionaire to rebuild a stadium. not anybody. right. >> still to come, former fox right. >> st host come, former fox right. >> st host tucker former fox right. >> st host tucker carlsonzox right. >> st host tucker carlson says he will. >> and he is at the moment interviewing russian president vladimir moscow. he's vladimir putin in moscow. he's come under fire for doing so.

11:09 am
think from think about this from a constitutional point view. so constitutional point of view. so let's imagine that king charles has a good recovery. let's say three months from now he's better. but he feels exhausted by whole process and by this whole process and just decides going to take down decides i am going to take down my workload a little bit and i'm going to step down from my role of king, even though i've only had it for less than two years. what then? what happens then? >> um, parliament >> okay, so, um, parliament would to pass an act of would have to pass an act of parliament effectively transferring the crown to william , who would be next in william, who would be next in line. that would need the agreement of the commonwealth realms. so the 14 other countries where is head countries where the king is head of state, some of those would have to pass their own legislation . um, so , you know, legislation. um, so, you know, it's not something that could necessarily happen just like that. >> you'd also have to get the agreement william do it. agreement of william to do it. >> and he's still a young man with young children. he's in with young children. he's not in any rush to step up. any great rush to step up. >> well, no, indeed, it's sort of and i think, you know, the expectation has that expectation has been that charles know, be king charles would, you know, be king for a year or more, ten years or so, maybe at some point then
11:10 am
so, and maybe at some point then think about it, perhaps passing it down. and of course, the other thing that we've been talking about recently is that the royal family is much smaller. yeah. and so if you lost the king and queen from conducting royal duties, then you're potentially with a you're left potentially with a very small royal family of just kate , william and the children ascending. >> prince louis to cut ribbons. >> prince louis to cut ribbons. >> but rather than him, perhaps another hypothesis. >> um, he could say, i want to step back for some time. and then could we then have effectively, a regency? >> well , yes. >> well, yes. >> well, yes. >> and would come to mind. she'd be terrific. >> well, yes. potentially um, as the law stands, that's what counsellors of state are for. yeah um, but there is people who they are because of course , it they are because of course, it was andrew and the dreaded andrew and the dreaded harry. >> we've now got other counsellors. >> yes. so the counsellors of state are laid down in legislation and it's prince william, prince harry, prince andrew, princess beatrice. but last year the law was changed to
11:11 am
add prince edward and princess anne. yeah. so you would expect william and edward to be two of those three would act. yeah. but ihave those three would act. yeah. but i have wondered whether we should just think about this. and, you know , i don't think and, you know, i don't think think there would be any harm if, say, prince william was able perhaps some of these perhaps to do some of these things his own. um, don't things on his own. um, i don't think the world would end if prince william perhaps held a few council meetings. few privy council meetings. if the unavailable and the king was unavailable and maybe did some of the functions that the king remind people what a meeting so a privy council meeting is. so privy meeting is there's privy council meeting is there's about ten a year, but there can be more. and essentially this is where ministers are formally sworn in when they're newly appointed. orders in council appointed. and orders in council are passed, which is a form of legislation . um, sometimes this legislation. um, sometimes this is about the overseas territories . it's, uh, sometimes territories. it's, uh, sometimes this is legislation about chartered institutions or universities . um, and, you know, universities. um, and, you know, this is when parliament can be formally dissolved by royal
11:12 am
proclamation . often, um, and proclamation. often, um, and formally summoned. so when there's an election, there's a role for the privy council to play. um, so it is an important body that just clears a lot of key decisions is made by the state. >> give us an idea of some of the duties that king charles would normally be doing. and we've got a of it then. we've got a sense of it then. but what is he doing behind closed doors at his desk? because might continue to do because he might continue to do whilst recovers? because he might continue to do whiyes recovers? because he might continue to do whiyes. recovers? because he might continue to do whiyes . so covers? because he might continue to do whiyes . so really,’ because he might continue to do whiyes . so really, on a daily >> yes. so really, on a daily basis, he has a red box that contains essentially state papers and that can cover a whole range of things. um, it could be letters patent, um, that are formally making a decision , um, that he has to decision, um, that he has to sign or he has to approve . decision, um, that he has to sign or he has to approve. um, it could be, um, documents from ambassadors overseas with despatches . um, it could be despatches. um, it could be a list of honours that he needs to approve . um, various approve. um, various appointments, a list of appointments, a list of appointments of judges, um, ambassadors . i've already
11:13 am
ambassadors. i've already mentioned, but it's those sorts of appointments, lots of public appointments as well. >> and of course, he'll have his audience with the prime minister today, but he'll do that on a zoom link of some form. >> yes, i would imagine , given >> yes, i would imagine, given that at sandringham , um, that he's at sandringham, um, that he's at sandringham, um, that this would take place over the phone or by zoom, as you say. that's something that that william presumably. william couldn't do, presumably. no it's sort of the relationship between the prime minister and the monarch. is a personal one. you know, the prime minister is the monarch's prime constitutional adviser . and so, constitutional adviser. and so, you know, that's a relationship that that just is ongoing. and as sunak said yesterday , he's in as sunak said yesterday, he's in regular contact with the king in addition to the audiences. you know , they are. and the two know, they are. and the two offices of buckingham palace and downing street are in constant contact . yeah, over a whole contact. yeah, over a whole range of issues . range of issues. >> i mean, it's easy to be. of course it's easy to be a sort of a little bit cynical about a family in 2024 that has so much immense wealth, i'm not immense wealth, etc. i'm not suggesting that i would like to
11:14 am

11:17 am
sometimes you think of sometimes you think our state of politics is depressing, kevin. and a glimpse and when you get a glimpse overseas, realise actually overseas, you realise actually we're doing all right. so bleak. the biden situation is awful . the biden situation is awful. >> the that a country as >> the idea that a country as powerful and as large as america, the best they can come up for the upcoming up with for the upcoming presidential election, the opfions presidential election, the options in his options are joe biden in his 80s, who's not well , he's 80s, who's not well, he's clearly he's failing. uh, clearly yeah, he's failing. uh, and donald trump, who's 77, i think . yeah. and you know , think. yeah. and you know, there's quite a few gaffes in his locker as well. um, it is really quite extraordinary . really quite extraordinary. >> he, he of course, will go to supreme court over this court setback and he will play it up and he'll say, this is the establishment, the democratic establishment, the democratic establishment, because washington dc know very, very anti but and he'll use anti him. uh but and he'll use it again as this is the, the system trying to stop him running. and he is clearly the overwhelming choice to be republican candidate. >> be the republican >> oh he will be the republican candidate. question candidate. there's no question about will feed off about that. and he will feed off that. and his supporters will absolutely buy into this argument an argument that it's an establishment plot. >> deep state attack .
11:18 am
>> it's a deep state attack. it's what calls it, the ballot. >> now, i think it's quite dangerous to say that the president has immunity from any kind criminal prosecution. kind of criminal prosecution. give him carte blanche to, to do anything. if you remember, when richard famous richard nixon, in his famous interview with frost, interview with david frost, said, if the president said, you know, if the president does it's not illegal. and does it, it's not illegal. and at time there was a huge at the time there was a huge uproar over that. and essentially, that is trump's argument is carrying argument that if he is carrying out he would say, out his duties, as he would say, trying to overturn a democratic vote, is immune from vote, um, then he is immune from prosecution. i mean, that's a pretty dangerous precedent. but you're allows you're right. this just allows him to one feed on this narrative of i'm the victim and two, he'll just string it out for as long as on the american election. >> the sun is reporting today, harry cole, the political edhon harry cole, the political editor, that the there had been a view that the election might be the 14th, but it now be november the 14th, but it now may october because may move to october because they're jittery 10 they're jittery a number 10 about caught up in the about getting caught up in the presidential election, which is the november. yeah the first week in november. yeah >> think the 6th of >> so i think it's the 6th of november. i think memory. november. i think from memory. um, as well that um, yeah. i'd heard as well that there some security advice
11:19 am
there was some security advice behind scenes look, behind the scenes saying, look, probably and keep the probably we try and keep the next two weeks after the us election free because it's a very that the result very good chance that the result will be challenged. there'll be all turmoil in america. all sorts of turmoil in america. do really be having do we really want to be having our own election at that time? while potentially while all this chaos potentially is going on? >> and yet there had been a view that wins, um, that that if trump wins, um, that would sunak because would benefit sunak because people oh blimey, people will think, oh blimey, what's to happen now? we what's going to happen now? we need stability . yeah. stick need some stability. yeah. stick with know. yeah, absolutely. >> so that that might have well been reason why he was been the reason why he was edging the of edging towards the 14th of november. seemed be the november. that seemed to be the consensus that when consensus was that was when they were for. um yeah. were aiming for. but um yeah. october. thing is as well, october. the thing is as well, if you look at all the opinion polls, voters just want polls, most voters just want this over and done with. they want election. want an election. >> want this country in >> they want in this country in this in this country. this country, in this country. >> i still got a hunch it could be june. well you speak be may orjune. well you speak to people. to a lot of people. >> these are the small boats. >> these are the small boats. >> is the big problem. >> is the big problem. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> you know, there reasons >> you know, there are reasons for because the polls >> you know, there are reasons for still because the polls >> you know, there are reasons for still horrificyecause the polls >> you know, there are reasons for still horrific for|use the polls >> you know, there are reasons for still horrific for the the polls are still horrific for the tories. but there are also reasons go early because you reasons to go early because you get whole summer of small

get a whole summer of small boats over and rumour boats going over and the rumour the elections, local the may elections, local election, might the election, it might be may, the second same as the local second same day as the local elections is where have elections is where we might have the general election. >> absolutely. >> yeah. >> 5 one em- em— question. >> yes, labour have got a big problem haven't they. it's problem now haven't they. it's their policy to spend their flagship policy to spend £28 year every year on £28 billion a year every year on green green campaign a gb green or green campaign on a gb electric news, a electric gb news, a us, a british electric company. yeah uh. there's uh. more insulation. there's a split between the labour split now between the labour leader and his shadow chancellor, think. chancellor, i think. >> massive split . >> so a massive split. >> so a massive split. >> rachel reeves was out in a boat week she was asked boat last week and she was asked repeatedly about this £28 billion. she wouldn't even say the 28 the words. the phrase 28 billion. she clearly billion. and so she clearly wants it gone. and she because the conservatives using it the conservatives are using it to labour over the head to hammer labour over the head with saying it'll put up with it, saying it'll put up taxes, it'll put up interest rates. starmer, just rates. but keir starmer, just this talked about the 28 this week he talked about the 28 billion again. so he is saying it. there's obviously split it. so there's obviously a split there here there or continually being here in and briefings that in reports and briefings that it's going ditched. but it it's going to be ditched. but it hasn't been ditched yet. and the longer this on, the more it longer this goes on, the more it just gives another u—turn for starmer. >> we need to move on. sadly,

11:25 am
to back down on some of the issues around . the zero net zero issues around. the zero net zero agenda, in terms of the restrictions they were putting onto farmers, in terms of the fuels they could use, and also the vehicles that they could use. >> use. >> it's their a very powerful lobby in europe. the farmers. and course, we saw what and of course, we saw what happenedin and of course, we saw what happened in paris. they virtually were planning to starve the city. >> doing >> yeah, they're doing a remarkably organised remarkably well organised protest. started in the protest. are started in the netherlands, moved germany , netherlands, moved to germany, uh, there we go. uh, poland. also there we go. some, uh, tires alight there. this is at the port of castellon in spain . uh, there was some in spain. uh, there was some brilliant footage yesterday where the french police had put a barricade of cars across one of the roads, and the farmers, of the roads, and the farmers, of course, don't need roads , and of course, don't need roads, and they just took their tractors around and around the police cordon onto the fields and carried on. they're a very powerful people's protest , for sure. >> now the government has offered dentists a whopping £20,000 to take on extra patients . £20,000 to take on extra patients. here's £20,000 to take on extra patients . here's what the shadow patients. here's what the shadow health secretary, wes streeting, had to say about that .
11:26 am
had to say about that. >> we can see here in bristol the queues around the block reflecting 14 years of concern, of failure on nhs dentistry that have left people priced out and left behind. and what's so deeply disappointing about what the government have put forward today is, yes , they've copied today is, yes, they've copied the emergency package that labour proposed , but they've labour proposed, but they've neglected the fundamental argument. labour's been making, which is unless you reform the nhs dentistry contract and make nhs dentistry contract and make nhs dentistry contract and make nhs dentistry pay for dentistry , nhs dentistry pay for dentistry, we are you're going to see more and more queues like this across the country . the country. >> well, we're joined now by eddie crouch, chair of the dental british dental association. morning eddie. association. good morning eddie. what how can you sum up what has gone wrong with our nhs dental service over the last, let's say, 20 years? >> well, that's true. >> well, that's true. >> um, well, it's probably a least a decade of decline . um, least a decade of decline. um, and neglect. um that, that the house select committee last year came out with a recommendation ,
11:27 am
came out with a recommendation, uh, the nuffield trust came out with almost a similar recommendation that the contract needs ripping up and starting again. and it's good to hear labour have got that high on their agenda. sadly the secretary of state hasn't got it on her agenda and what we're getting at the moment is a succession of tweaks, um, which aren't really going to solve the massive problems that we've got . massive problems that we've got. >> just dentistry used to be an appealing profession, presumable for graduates and young people going into wanting to go into that particular area of medicine , has it just become less popular? >> no . i mean, the applications >> no. i mean, the applications to dental schools , in fact, to dental schools, in fact, there's quite a significant number of uk, um born people going in training as dentists across europe. um, so dentistry as a profession is still incredibly popular. we have the highest number of, uh, dental. it's on the general dental council register that we've probably ever had. um but this is a workforce problem, particularly in nhs dentistry.
11:28 am
and when someone leaves the nhs, they probably see half the number of patients that they were seeing on the nhs because it is a treadmill system and there's a consequence to that. we haven't got enough dentists for population in the uk. for the population in the uk. >> isn't that the key? a lot of your colleagues are there training, uh, and then they go into the private sector where they can earn far more money. >> yeah. well, that that is the case. but if the nhs system was far more attractive, then they wouldn't do that. and the vast majority of people who graduate don't the instantly . don't leave the nhs instantly. and many of them do work for 5 or 10 years in the nhs before they actually move and do more private work, because they gain their experience in the nhs. >> just give us an idea of what the difference salary might the difference in salary might be. eddie, between an nhs dentist doing nhs and dentist solely doing nhs and a full time private dentist . full time private dentist. >> well, the income of nhs dentists like the junior doctors, has fallen about a
11:29 am
third in the last decade . we're third in the last decade. we're not going on strike. we're actually walking away from the nhs. um, but but people are not leaving the nhs to go and work for more money in the private sector . they're going to see far sector. they're going to see far fewer patients , have a better fewer patients, have a better lifestyle, have more time with their to actually their patients to actually deliver a quality of care that they're happy with. >> right. okay. interesting. thank you. eddie, thank you very much for joining thank you. eddie, thank you very much forjoining us. uh, we're much for joining us. uh, we're up against the clock this morning, do you morning, aren't we? do you remember newcastle united remember the newcastle united fan who was banned because the premier that? premier league was saying that? she stuff on social she said some stuff on social media that media about trans people that they like . we're going to they didn't like. we're going to be following that in
