critics warn the new powers represent a threat to civil liberties , though police say liberties, though police say a man wanted in connection with a chemical attack in south london had been in a relationship with the 31 year old victim, which had broken down the hunt for abdul ezedi is continuing and he's believed to be suffering from serious facial injuries. the last recorded sighting of him was near vauxhall bridge in london, just after 11 pm. last wednesday. say anyone with information should contact the police . and the prince of wales police. and the prince of wales has thanked the public for their kind messages of support following the king's cancer diagnosis. prince william spoke about his father's diagnosis for the first time as he appeared at an event raising funds for london's air ambulance charity. hollywood star tom cruise was there to , as well as arsenal there to, as well as arsenal manager mikel arteta, striking a lighter tone, the prince of wales joked about his family's hospital stays over the past few weeks . weeks. >> i'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you

also for the kind messages of support for catherine and for my father, especially in recent days. it means a great deal to us all. it's fair to say the past few weeks have had a rather medical focus , so i thought i'd medical focus, so i thought i'd come to an air ambulance function to get away from it all. >> for the latest story, sign up to gb news alerts by scanning the qr code on your screen, or go to gb news. com slash alerts now it's back to andrew and . bev. >> good morning. it is 935. welcome to britain's newsroom on gb news with me, bev turner and andrew pierce. >> well, rishi sunak is facing calls to apologise after he spoke about the labour leader's position on trans . it appeared position on trans. it appeared that the mother of the murdered teenager, brianna ghey, who was transgender, was in parliament, although apparently the prime minister didn't know that at the time. yeah, there's a bit of confusion about whether or not

rishi know esther rishi sunak did know that esther chai was in yesterday. chai was in the room yesterday. >> nigel farage jacob >> nigel farage and jacob rees—mogg reaction . rees—mogg gave their reaction. have listen . have a listen. >> did he make a mistake or is it a storm in a team? >> i am appalled by the leader of the opposition's of of the opposition's abuse of parliamentary procedure. if parliamentary procedure. so if you paragraph 2130 of you look at paragraph 2130 of erskine may, it says that members in debate should be brief and directly related to proceedings , and should not be proceedings, and should not be phrased so to be in way phrased so as to be in any way intimidating or seek to influence referring intimidating or seek to inipeople referring intimidating or seek to inipeople in referring intimidating or seek to inipeople in the referring intimidating or seek to inipeople in the gallerieserring intimidating or seek to inipeople in the galleries andig to people in the galleries and mr sir keir starmer tried to influence the debate by referring to people in the galleries. this is strictly disorderly and i think sir keir should apologise to the house tomorrow. see i think i saw this as it's going out live and i think it was keir starmer who made the political capital out of the issue by naming brianna ghey his mother being there, none of us knew watching at home that she was there. >> he was the one who threw into the middle of that storm. >> and actually, she wasn't even in at the she in the chamber at the time she came chamber after that

came into the chamber after that row had up. but but my row had blown up. but but my view well does this mean view as well does this mean then, prime minister or then, that the prime minister or any remember they can any politician remember they can they can effectively say what they can effectively say what they want in the commons because they've got absolute privilege, so make allegations so they can make allegations of criminality , which wouldn't criminality, which they wouldn't be possibly outside be able to possibly make outside the this mean the commons. does this mean they're have send they're going to have to send over depending on over what they say? depending on perhaps may be the perhaps somebody may be in the parliamentary estate at the time, because if so, it's going to make life very, very difficult to say anything. >> well, quite everybody has an issue that that they issue in that room that they feel strongly about. and it does make a bit of a mockery of the idea that you can just speak honestly, freely have open honestly, freely and have open debate else, debate more than anywhere else, really, as you say in the country, have all of country, you have all sorts of privileges talk privileges of being able to talk freely. think it was clumsy freely. i do think it was clumsy of think didn't have of sunak. i think he didn't have the acuity, the mental acuity to go because he clearly go off script because he clearly knew to say that. knew he was going to say that. now, if he knew that members of brianna ghey, his family, were in the building that day, then he have thought, maybe he might have thought, maybe this the this isn't the day to make the 939 this isn't the day to make the gag about whether woman is a

gag about whether a woman is a woman. it have woman. yeah and it would have been sensitive , more sensitive been sensitive, more sensitive to the family. her been sensitive, more sensitive to the family . her father, now to the family. her father, now brianna ghey , his father, peter brianna ghey, his father, peter spoonen brianna ghey, his father, peter spooner. he's asking for the prime minister to apologise . prime minister to apologise. >> well, he's not going to. and kemi badenoch, who who's the trade secretary? but she's also got the equalities brief. she immediately put out a statement supporting minister supporting the prime minister and keir starmer and saying it was keir starmer who weaponised by who had weaponised the issue by bringing ghey , jai's bringing brianna ghey, jai's mother, into the equation. i think actually it is one of those classic stories that people get very worked up about on the westminster, in the westminster bubble and people watching this programme, listening to this programme, were could you just were thinking, could you just sort living were thinking, could you just sort could living were thinking, could you just sort could you living were thinking, could you just sort could you stopling were thinking, could you just sort could you stop the crisis? could you stop the wretched boats crossing the channel and would tell us channel and would you tell us why having legal why we're having legal immigration of three quarter of a that's a million every year? that's what i think people really engage absolutely. what i think people really engagree. absolutely. what i think people really engagree. what absolutely. what i think people really engagree. what absolreally >> agree. what i found really interesting from the footage. and will show again in a and we will show you again in a minute rachel minute from yesterday is rachel reeves angela rayner's reeves face and angela rayner's face. we'll show it throughout the because they're the morning because they're laughing along in a way they can

see that this is part of that parliamentary jibing the jousting who said what and jousting about who said what and as soon as keir starmer says the name ghey , you see name of brianna ghey, you see their faces and they think, oh , their faces and they think, oh, this has just taken a different turn. >> shouldn't be laughing now should we shouldn't laughing. should we shouldn't be laughing. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> so, um, and, and we hear that rishi sunak of course they brianna ghey mother was there to see the, to see the leader of the opposition. they met. and of course keir starmer quickly put a photograph out. he a photograph out. is he politicising it? well look, she's you could she's campaigning you could argue she campaigning, argue that she is campaigning, of she's right to of course. and she's right to and we're glad she is. but he now says he would. the prime minister says he'd like to meet the murdered teenager's family. that's according to one government minister. but he's so far not going to apologise, and i don't think he will. >> and actually, i would imagine that brianna ghey, mother, that brianna ghey, his mother, is really frustrated by this because what she is now campaigning about has actually nothing to do with trans issues . nothing to do with trans issues. she's been through that journey

with her son, transitioning to be considered a daughter, and then she lost her. so what? she's campaigning about is, um, social media use. she's complaining about smartphone bans for the under 16 seconds. so she won't also want this . she so she won't also want this. she hasn't actually said that she wants either. neither her or brianna's father have said that they wish to raise issues about they wish to raise issues about the trans matter and gender identity, so they will be as frustrated about all this as i imagine . yeah, we are, and if imagine. yeah, we are, and if she does see the prime minister, she's not going to be talking about what he said in the commons chamber. >> she's going to be talking exactly about that. 16 year olds, olds are too olds, uh, 15 year olds are too young have a smart smartphone young to have a smart smartphone and watch it. >> and violent >> inappropriate and violent material, ultimately material, which ultimately led to let to the loss of their child. let us thoughts us know your thoughts this morning. gb news. morning. gb views at gb news. com also, the prince of wales has spoken about his father's cancer diagnosis first cancer diagnosis for the first time. public last time. he thanked the public last night their kind messages night for their kind messages of support. >> to take this >> i'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you

also for the kind messages of support catherine for my support for catherine and for my father, in recent father, especially in recent days. it means a great deal to us all. it's fair to say the past few weeks have had a rather medical focus, so i thought i'd come to an air ambulance function to get away from it all at the same time . at the same time. >> prince harry has gone . >> prince harry has gone. hooray! he's left the building! he's gone back to la. he was in the uk for about 24 hours, which is not very green , is it? he's is not very green, is it? he's an eco warrior and he flew over for 24 hours and flew back again. some the papers again. well some of the papers today saying that he put today are saying that he put charles spot charles on the king on the spot by coming over. by saying i'm coming over. >> have talked to him >> he could have talked to him on the phone. of course he could him zoom. but of course him on zoom. but of course he needs audience in needs to tell his audience in america pay wages, america that pay his wages, that he's royal and but he's still a royal and but actually, i think it's backfired horribly. charles the horribly. charles rea is the former royal correspondent at the and these the sun and knows these characters as charles. morning to . if harry thought this to you. if harry thought this was going to be quite good a marketing ploy. look, i appreciate it's his father and i'm sure he loves his father,

although i think behaved although i think he's behaved abominably the last few abominably in the last few months. thought flying months. but if he thought flying in meet his father was going in to meet his father was going to be for his royal to be great for his royal reputation profile , it's reputation and profile, it's somewhat with the king somewhat backfired with the king giving just 30 minutes. giving him just 30 minutes. >> absolutely. um, i mean, >> well, absolutely. um, i mean, you would have thought harry would have his father. would have asked his father. look i'm going to come over. i think he was right to do, to be perfectly honest, because it is his father. he been his father. he has he has been diagnosed . and i diagnosed with cancer. and i would any any member of would think any any member of a family would want to be at the side of the of, of the person. but but you'd have thought he could said to his father, could have said to his father, um, i'm, i'm coming over. i'm coming and he only got 30 coming over. and he only got 30 minutes. mean , it's absolutely minutes. i mean, it's absolutely ridiculous. didn't he just, ridiculous. why didn't he just, instead of rushing over like that, go to sandringham, where he could have maybe stayed overnight? least sandringham. overnight? at least sandringham. i king's to rest, i know the king's got to rest, and i appreciate that. but, you know, harry, just come over for 30 minutes. just seems daft, really . really. >> i'm interested, though, that you say that you thought harry should come over. do you mean as

a son or as a royal? >> no, as a son? absolutely as a son. not as a royal. nothing to do with being a member of the royal i mean, all there royal family. i mean, all there are of families who's are lots of families who's a member from some, you member suffers from some, you know, disease or , or condition know, disease or, or condition cancen know, disease or, or condition cancer. and if you hear cancer, you other members of that family, you know, want to be by your side to comfort you. um, but, you know, 30 minutes doesn't seem to be much of a comfort, to be perfectly honest . comfort, to be perfectly honest. >> and charles, why did he feel he had to announce it in advance that was coming over? that's that he was coming over? that's what me. he wants the what struck me. he he wants the world know doing world to know he's doing his duty or he wants the duty as a son, or he wants the world to remind people that he's still royal still a member of the royal family. not family. although we're not a working member, the royal family, have come family, he could have just come in, his father he in, seen his father and left. he probably would been probably would have been spotted. he have spotted. but why did he have to announce it? >> i, i don't really >> i well, i, i don't really know why he had to announce it. >> i mean, i'm like you, andrew. i think andrew has, uh, done an awful lot of damage to the royal

family with his his various, his various attacks and spare and these oprah winfrey and his net flicks, documentaries . um, you flicks, documentaries. um, you know, it comes over . there are know, it comes over. there are two members of the royal family who have had medical procedures. his sister in law , the princess his sister in law, the princess of wales, and now his father. and you would have thought that that as well as seeing his father, he could have seen the princess of wales. but unfortunately for him , there is unfortunately for him, there is no welcome mat at adelaide cottage, where the waleses live . cottage, where the waleses live. so it's appalling that he has not actually expressed anything at all about his sister in law. and that's what makes it. that's what makes it so bad . i mean, i what makes it so bad. i mean, i was of the opinion and i and many people may disagree with me, that if he had come over with meghan and i know there would have been a circus and everything else, but if he'd come over with meghan and brought over, the brought the children over, the grandchildren, which the king has seen , it would have has rarely seen, it would have been a great tonic for the king himself, he himself, and i'm sure he would have got than would have got more than they would have got more than they would have 30 minutes.

have got more than 30 minutes. uh and i just thought that that would been better of would have been a better way of deaung would have been a better way of dealing it rather than , you dealing with it rather than, you know, quite rightly know, as you quite rightly say, flying then flying in one minute and then flying in one minute and then flying the next minute, it flying out the next minute, it was the prince charles, the sense that he's an outcast is underlined by the fact he was not. >> he didn't anywhere on >> he didn't stay anywhere on the estate. they have the royal estate. they do have quite rooms in quite a lot of rooms in buckingham palace. they've got quite at windsor buckingham palace. they've got quite and at windsor buckingham palace. they've got quite and yet at windsor buckingham palace. they've got quite and yet he at windsor buckingham palace. they've got quite and yet he spends�*idsor buckingham palace. they've got quite and yet he spends their castle. and yet he spends the night in central london. >> and that underlines the fractious nature of the rift between, uh, harry and the rest of the royal family you know, there was a there was a lot of people who were suggesting that because we've now got a slimmed down monarchy and two of them are because of medical are out because of medical problems, come problems, that harry should come and some royal duties. well, and do some royal duties. well, hang on a minute. harry was not sacked by the royal family. he chose. he resigned. he wanted. he didn't have anything he didn't want to have anything to with the royal treadmill. to do with the royal treadmill. you to go back you know, he wanted to go back to make his to america and make his money live private which live a private life, which clearly was clearly hasn't. but it was a ridiculous suggestion and all

these people who think that this is an olive branch to something that's going know, that's going to be, you know, sorted out in that family very, very wrong. i don't see this being ever sorted out. there's too much water going under the this bridge. >> i think. i agree with you, charles charles that. yeah i charles charles rea that. yeah i think that's right. thank you charles, joining us charles, thanks for joining us this does show you this morning. it does show you that the event of that even in the event of something like this, if this hasn't brought together as hasn't brought them together as a nothing a family, then possibly nothing will. are will. right up next, police are going be given new powers to going to be given new powers to throw protesters jail for throw protesters in jail for wearing or wearing face masks or for climbing memorials climbing on war memorials because, uh, i'm not that mad on this idea. i can't lie , but this idea. i can't lie, but let's discuss that in just a moment. this is britain's newsroom

gb news for. good morning. it's 949 on thursday morning. do keep your emails coming in this morning, won't you? vaiews@gbnews.com. we are joined in the studio by conservative mp for shipley, friend the channel philip friend of the channel philip

mask, put the hood up and they'll go, well, scared of they'll go, well, i'm scared of covid. can't be be a covid. you can't get be be a good to get shut of good opportunity to get shut of that, wouldn't it as well, be honest. >> but um, but look so i think, i the police welcomed i think the police have welcomed these to do these powers. they want to do something and the something about it. and will the pubuc something about it. and will the public welcome. public will welcome. well, i hope mean, you know, it's hope so. i mean, you know, it's always down to these operational matters. day, matters. at the end of the day, the police have operational independence. it's down independence. so it's to down them. but the role of parliament is police powers is to give the police the powers and in order to make and the tools in order to make sure that there's no public disorder. uh look, people have the they disorder. uh look, people have the have they disorder. uh look, people have the have to they disorder. uh look, people have the have to do they disorder. uh look, people have the have to do it they disorder. uh look, people have the have to do it that ey disorder. uh look, people have the have to do it that way, don't have to do it in that way, and they have to impact on and they don't have to impact on other people's freedoms. when the protester mean if the protester does this mean if people red ink racist people daubed in red ink racist on winston churchill statue, they breaching laws ? they will be breaching the laws? absolutely, . and they absolutely, absolutely. and they should rightly be punished . should rightly be punished. >> it does seem a little bit bonkers though, at a time of when people are genuinely struggling and there's a lot of frustration out there, there's a lot people feel they've lot of people that feel they've got they can't afford got no money, they can't afford to the life they want to to live the life they want to live. to live the life they want to uve.the to live the life they want to live. the politicians are preoccupied with telling people they a statue , is they can't stand on a statue, is it not? feel it just feels a bit

satirical. if they've not got more important things to think about. >> well, you know, politicians deal with lots of things at the same time. i mean, if we could only deal with the most important issue facing the country, would country, no government would ever anything much would ever do anything much, would they? be focusing on they? they'd only be focusing on one there's a criminal one thing. there's a criminal justice bill going through parliament. it's an opportunity to get the to make sure you get the criminal laws right. so criminal justice laws right. so it's the right vehicle for doing that. think i think that. so i think i think the government right do this. government are right to do this. >> all inspired by >> and this is all inspired by palestinian protesters. of course, being course, british law being changed here because of people who feel really about who feel really strongly about an the middle east. an issue in the middle east. i've a problem that. i've got a problem with that. >> land always >> the laws of the land always change a result of something change as a result of something happening. never in happening. they never happen in isolation. because isolation. they happen because something to deal with a particular issue . and that's particular issue. and that's what's happening. >> braverman said >> so now suella braverman said this she was this week when she was home secretary she was frustrated because preferred because she would have preferred to these marches. to ban some of these marches. the pro—palestinian marches, where, know some where, of course, we know some people were calling for holy war for a lot of anti—semitic abuse . for a lot of anti—semitic abuse. do you think she would have been right banned them to ban right to have banned them to ban a march completely? i think in

some cases, i think where there's a threat of disorder or something happening, and i think the have those powers. >> if they feel that there's a real risk of serious disorder, they already that. but they can already do that. but i think probably best left think that's probably best left to police make to the police to make those decisions than politics, decisions rather than politics, as i feel i would feel rather uncomfy about politicians deciding what protests can take place and what can't , because i place and what can't, because i think we can see that there could be conflict of interest could be a conflict of interest there at some point. >> the covering thing >> yeah, the face covering thing though, it is nonsense. i mean, we're just looking at the pictures it's pictures there and i think it's like a thousand people. they've all the faces covered up. all got the faces covered up. the arrest the police can't arrest a thousand up thousand people for covering up their it's just their faces is what it's just completely unworkable. >> mean, it >> well we'll see. i mean, it doesn't to say it's going doesn't mean to say it's going to a panacea , but i think to be a panacea, but i think that's not reason not to that's not not a reason not to give the police these tools if they need use them. they feel the need to use them. >> yeah. um, the prime minister, labour are jumping up and down saying should apologise saying he should apologise because he mom because of what he said. mom saying minister sunak saying the prime minister sunak sorry starmer over his unrwa inability to identify what a woman is . brianna ghey his

woman is. brianna ghey his mother into chamber at mother came into the chamber at some point. should you have to apologise? >> it's got absolutely nothing to apologise for. i mean, his opinions my opinions on opinions and my opinions on biological sex are not changed by happened brianna. by what happened to brianna. that that absolutely that is that was an absolutely appalling crime. the people who committed it, as far as i'm concerned, should have the quay tossed and that was tossed away and that was absolutely appalling. but that doesn't opinion doesn't change anybody's opinion or change anybody's or shouldn't change anybody's opinion biological sex, were opinion on biological sex, were the two things are completely disconnect . and actually it was disconnect. and actually it was really interesting what starmer said because starmer said that rishi shouldn't have said rishi sunak shouldn't have said that of days effect that today of all days in effect , what starmer was saying is that what you should say should vary depending on who happens to be in the audience and the pubuc be in the audience and the public should remember that whenever he tells them anything, he's basically saying, i will say different to based say something different to based on whoever's the audience . we on whoever's in the audience. we totally unacceptable. >> we can. we can never get enough from phil. enough from you, phil. unfortunately have to move unfortunately we do have to move on, though. we've come to the end half still to end of that first half still to come. british countryside,

then, once starmer starts twisting it, they all changed. i noficed twisting it, they all changed. i noticed that too. it's a good observation because angela raynen observation because angela rayner, the deputy leader and rachel reeves, the shadow chancellor, were smirking from ear to ear because they knew it was banter and they that it was banter and they knew that it was banter and they knew that it was easy hit by rishi sunak. was an easy hit by rishi sunak. yeah say. and then yeah they could say. and then they realised what starmer had just said. >> suddenly their faces were setting concrete. >> edward was >> yeah, edward said it was solely starmer that was mischief making. shame on him. he's a disgrace. just said disgrace. and brian just said it's for you. sunak it's politics for you. sunak could his dig a could have said his dig at a more appropriate it proves more appropriate time. it proves he got a clue he hasn't got a clue about sensitivity. there some truth sensitivity. there is some truth to that as well. on a personal level. on personal level, if level. on a personal level, if he'd that late he'd known that the late brianna's family were there on a personal level, you would surely be sensitive to that slightly. >> and the fact is, i think it's a failure of intelligence in number 10, because they probably should have known she on on should have known she was on on the on the, on the parliamentary estate because coming in estate because she was coming in to starmer, who then put to see starmer, who then put a photograph out. he photograph out. was he politicising meeting. oh politicising that meeting. oh i think he perhaps he was he

definitely made political definitely made some political capital yesterday . capital out of that yesterday. >> says, i don't >> and graham says, i don't think any debate in the house of commons should be tempered by who not be in the who may or may not be in the pubuc who may or may not be in the public if that is the public gallery, if that is the case, can business be case, then how can business be expected be conducted expected to be conducted efficiently they hold efficiently if they have to hold back? considering is back? considering starmer is a possible minister, possible future prime minister, his over the his ongoing confusion over the bafic his ongoing confusion over the basic birds and the bees of what a is should highlighted a woman is should be highlighted at until he at every opportunity until he demonstrates some clarity. >> will be the what >> i think that will be the what will linger most after this. it will linger most after this. it will remind people that starmer struggles as struggles when asked as a as a woman, a service. it's not woman, have a service. it's not a straightforward question. it is a woman is actually. it's only a woman has cervix. now now. is actually. it's only a woman hasandzrvix. now now. is actually. it's only a woman hasand a'ix. now now. is actually. it's only a woman hasand a transyw now. is actually. it's only a woman hasand a trans woman. sorry >> and a trans woman. sorry a oh, there we go. no, let's not, let's move on. and a trans man can have a cervix. it doesn't mean he's a biological man. exactly. >> now, say the suspected >> now, police say the suspected chemical on the run chemical attacker on the run abdul ezedi, was in a relationship with victim. relationship with his victim. >> right. is new >> that's right. this is new footage shows the afghan footage which shows the afghan asylum walking asylum seeker walking across vauxhall london. asylum seeker walking across vau he's. london. asylum seeker walking across vau he's still. london. asylum seeker walking across vau he's still. he's london. asylum seeker walking across vau he's still. he's stillion. asylum seeker walking across vau he's still. he's still at. >> he's still. he's still at large, of course, on day eight, we're speak to our we're going to speak to our reporter, addison, who's at reporter, ray addison, who's at new scotland yard. >> what's

>> morning, ray. what's the latest ? latest? >> well, good morning to you both. as you were saying. yes, that that's the latest. it's being treated now as a attempted murder investigation. they believe that azadi had arranged to meet the 31 year old victim. they believe that they were in a relationship . and they suspect relationship. and they suspect that the reason for the attack could have been the breakdown of that relationship. they also released footage and stills, the latest from . that wednesday latest from. that wednesday night. this is from 11:00, taken on cctv as he crossed vauxhall bridge, then onto vauxhall bridge, then onto vauxhall bridge road and in the direction of grosvenor road as well . of grosvenor road as well. national crime agency getting involved in this. they've had medical experts analyse the latest footage and they're saying that the look of these injuries would suggest that azadi has extremely high risk of sepsis and infection , setting in

sepsis and infection, setting in to that eye, which could prove fatal. of course, it's been eight days now since that attack took place , and if azadi hasn't took place, and if azadi hasn't received any medical treatment for his injuries, he could be in a pretty bad way . and we've also a pretty bad way. and we've also heard from friends of the mother as well . uh, overnight, that 31 as well. uh, overnight, that 31 year old victim, they released their own statement describing it as first and foremost a devoted and loving mother. they said her children are her life and all she's ever wanted is a safe home for her and her beautiful , kind little girls. beautiful, kind little girls. also those friends thanking , um, also those friends thanking, um, the neighbours for their heroic bravery and getting involved, uh, scaring off her attacker and coming to her aid . we've also coming to her aid. we've also heard that the afghan community is getting involved as well. danus is getting involved as well. darius nasib from the afghan and central asian association , central asian association, urging members of the afghan community to cooperate with

police if they know anything, come forward. and if they don't want to contact the met directly themselves, contact that organisation , he says, and organisation, he says, and they'll pass any information on okay. >> thank you very much. ray. ray addison there on a very rainy, horrible winter's day . could be w0 i'se. woi'se. >> worse. >> they're getting snow in the north. >> it's grim out there today, so just stay where you are and watch us on the telly. we're joined now in the studio by political editor daily express, sam lister and barrister and columnist sam sam columnist sam fowles. sam sam fowles, come to you first fowles, let me come to you first to you were on last week to sam's. you were on last week when and we when this story broke and we discussed implications of discussed the implications of this attack, the this chemical attack, the interview we did went huge interview that we did went huge online. it went very viral. and we've been contemplating why that might have been. were that might have been. we were talking us your talking about remind us your position on this chemical attack and why was so pernicious for and why it was so pernicious for you. and why it was so pernicious for you for me , and why it was so pernicious for youfor me , it's and why it was so pernicious for you for me , it's the issue with >> for me, it's the issue with this is about toxic masculinity , this is about toxic masculinity, andifs this is about toxic masculinity, and it's about how men use chemical attacks to sort of exert their dominance over, over women , but also over, over other women, but also over, over other men . and we've seen in the last,

men. and we've seen in the last, last few years, acid attacks or corrosive substance attacks rise , particularly in london, but also in the in the north, so that now the uk is one of the hot spots in the world for these for these attacks and, and it really worries me that we haven't grappled with this and we haven't used this attack as an opportunity to grapple with why there's a there's a rise in these attacks. >> and why do you think there is? sam is it a cultural thing? i do think it's a cultural thing. can you spell out why it's a cultural thing? >> i think it's a it's a culture of toxic masculinity that is being promoted. it's a culture of some middle eastern of middle some middle eastern cultures we have cultures in which and we have transplanted that very misogynistic. >> i wouldn't describe it as toxic masculinity. i think of that more of a western that as being more of a western issue, it's supplanting issue, but it's supplanting a misogynist , patriarchal, highly misogynist, patriarchal, highly patriarchal view of the sexes. isn't it? from middle eastern cultures ? cultures? >> and i agree with you that some middle eastern cultures are

highly patriarchal and problematic, but actually the vast majority of cs attacks in the uk are committed by native born white brits . and so this is born white brits. and so this is a problem that we have to look at. we have to look inward. we've got to look at ourselves and look in the mirror and say that we in britain have a problem with toxic masculinity, and that is driving these attacks. and i think it's wrong to just sort of to blame people coming because that's coming in because that's that's not the evidence not what the evidence says. >> know that. let's talk to sam lister >> let's talk to sam lister about the political story that's raging. see is raging. i can't see why it is raging, but there is pressure on the prime minister apologise the prime minister to apologise for mocking starmer for the mocking keir starmer over his changing views, you might say, on what makes a woman, uh, he clearly didn't know that brianna ghey mother was about to enter the chamber. should he apologise? isn't it keir starmer, who's politicised this? >> well, i think the equalities minister kemi badenoch she put out a series of tweets last night that were very, very strong in their wording. she said actually this is keir starmer who has weaponized. she

says he weaponized this issue. and so she's clearly gone on the attack on this . i think i was attack on this. i think i was sat in the chamber as i always do for pmqs. um, it felt to me perhaps rishi sunak could have lopped that bit off his list because actually , uh, you all he because actually, uh, you all he did was open the door to an attack from keir starmer, but actually it was keir starmer who politicised it. i think, um , politicised it. i think, um, rishi sunak's was talking about the general issue . keir starmer the general issue. keir starmer made it very specific and personal. now the prime minister went on to give a very kind of heartfelt tribute, paid a heartfelt tribute, paid a heartfelt tribute, paid a heartfelt tribute to brianna ghey and her family. um, and i think he was talking about two separate things. he was taught. he's talking about the wider issue and about keir starmer's views on this, about views on this, not about a personal issue. and so i think it's been conflated keir it's been conflated by keir starmer. i think rishi sunak starmer. but i think rishi sunak probably should have seen that that would happened . that would would have happened. >> because the >> yeah. and also because the brianna thing has the whole brianna ghey thing has the whole nafion brianna ghey thing has the whole nation has been. yeah, it's been

the most extraordinary. i've been shocked and appalled that, yeah, children effectively could behave in such a cruel and brutal way. so because of the fact they didn't like the fact they changed their gender. yeah. and i think also people have been by the fact that. >> uh esther ghey. brianna's mother has so , um, mother has been so, um, compassionate the family of compassionate to the family of those killers. and i think actually, that really has kind of made people feel , um, very, of made people feel, um, very, you know, upset about this. >> and, sam, you've written a we haven't it yet, you've haven't seen it yet, but you've written a for your written a piece for your magazine about the whole trans issue, you? yes issue, haven't you? yes >> my, my >> forthcoming. and so my, my view different on this. it's view is different on this. it's i think that what rishi i don't think that what rishi sunak particularly bad sunak said was particularly bad because just because brianna ghey mother was, was in the, in the chamber at the time, i think it was bad because it's really worrying how politicians have used bashing trans people as a as a political tool . and we know as a political tool. and we know that brianna ghey killers joked about whether brianna would scream like a man or a woman

about sort of implying that brianna didn't know whether she was a man or a woman. and so for rishi sunak to talking those same terms in a culture in a, in a time in which hate crimes against trans people have gone up 186% is just completely unprime ministerial. but isn't it isn't it a legitimate public area of debate and discussion? >> sam, that the leader of the opposition has been struggling to define what is a woman and has been struggling to define when asked, it can only a woman have a cervix? it's not a straightforward question. these are very concerning that he doesn't have a clear cut view on these issues. there are very fundamental. uh, it should be very straightforward. i would say . say. >> well, actually, what keir starmer has said that is that starmer has said on that is that i think he said 99% of women were born with with female biology, hence the quote from the prime minister. but and that's entirely actually it's not quite accurate. it's 99.5% and trans people are 0.5% of the

of the population . what worries of the population. what worries me a lot more is that this is an issue at all. and we have government minister , those who government minister, those who are talking about getting down and looking and having an argument about what's inside people's pants, because we have for centuries been perfectly capable of just relating to each other as well. do you present as a woman i'm going to treat as you or as a woman? do you present as a man? i'm going to treat you as a man. some people don't believe that. absolutely fine. have to have a fine. you don't have to have a sex change. you just have to leave alone who have leave people alone who have done, which is what we did. >> what made this so >> and so what made this so toxic? suggest that toxic? i would suggest that that what so toxic was what made this so toxic was a very aggressive trans activist lobbying group that have put people who've transitioned men into women into sports races. this is where it really burst onto the scene, wasn't it? and into into changing rooms and i don't feel that this came this this what we might describe as this what we might describe as this transfer idea has suddenly

come out of nowhere . i think come out of nowhere. i think it's come out of trans activism attacking jk rowling, publicly attacking jk rowling, publicly attacking anybody that seemed to make any sort of public suggestion that a woman might be a woman. even if you can recognise, i understand the difference between biology and genden difference between biology and gender, sex and gender, i get it. but i still have concerns that my freedoms as a woman now, the language around it, particularly say, medical particularly in, say, medical spaces being compromised spaces, i'm being compromised because of that movement. >> but the if you track when this actually became into the in the public eye, it predates it's the public eye, it predates it's the debates about about sports and actually comes from america, um, from far right groups in america because they lost the abortion issue, picking up trans as a, as a sort of wedge wedge issue and, and really promoting that. and that's when you see the rise in sort of anti—trans stories . but if we if you look stories. but if we if you look at the sports , for example, what at the sports, for example, what it really worries me is that we're sort of reducing being a

woman to a kind of victorian, 19th century version of femininity. the same people that are terribly worried about sports in in rugby, trans women in rugby, for example , don't in rugby, for example, don't care at all about little kids playing bigger kids in rugby and getting absolutely, absolutely destroyed by these. they don't care at all about many of the issues in sport that make things unfair. they're just using this as a way to bash trans people. >> let's get sam in here because because this is a this is a has become an issue. and women only spaces is an important issue, which i noticed sam hasn't mentioned. what's your take on this? >> well, just on picking up on sam's point . obviously the sam's point. obviously the discussion off discussion today started off on misogyny. yeah um, and you know, the way men treat women and the acid attacks and what have you, i think the transphobia, there's a people throwing a lot, a lot of people throwing around accusations of transphobia. nobody transphobia. but nobody mentioned rampant mentioned mentions the rampant misogyny at the heart of this debate . right. and it is men debate. right. and it is men telling women , know your place. telling women, know your place. you if we want to come in

you know, if we want to come in your toilets, we will come in your toilets, we will come in your yes, we want to your toilets. yes, if we want to take part in your sport, we will take part in your sport, we will take part in your sport, we will take part in your sport. women shut me that at the shut up. and to me that at the heart of it is misogyny . heart of it is misogyny. >> and isn't it legitimate >> and it's isn't it legitimate for the prime minister and other politicians to talk about this? >> absolutely. yeah. and this is not say that i think not to say that i think everybody who is a trans woman should be treated with respect . should be treated with respect. that issue. this is that is not the issue. this is the people around the trans women who are deeply politicising this, using it as a means to shut women up . um, and, means to shut women up. um, and, you know, people , women have you know, people, women have a right to be heard on this. women like rosie duffield on the labour benches have been abused by women on their own side. >> yeah. on labour benches >> yeah. on the labour benches for raise these. yeah. for daring to raise these. yeah. >> and rosie duffield has had a terrible time. she's been left out cold. rallied out in the cold. nobody rallied round because all saw what round because they all saw what happened to her. no, none the happened to her. no, none of the other the party put other women in the party who put themselves forward as big feminists come to her feminists wanted to come to her rescue what rescue because they saw what happened. a woman happened. when you are a woman and put your head above the

and you put your head above the parapet actually sam's point parapet and actually sam's point about really about the america is really interesting in interesting because of course in america of money america there's a lot of money to made in the pharmaceutical to be made in the pharmaceutical companies huge companies are making a huge amount of money out of people transitioning, but we've run out of iwant transitioning, but we've run out of i want to come back and have >> i want to come back and have carried carried come carried on and carried on. come back this again. what a back and have this again. what a fabulous pair sam's fabulous pair of sam's there. >> know we wanted to >> i know because we wanted to talk about sam's great front page story today. the door is open amazing boris comeback. >> we'll do it in the panel. >> we'll do it in the panel. >> in panel? great >> in the panel? yeah, great story. >> thank you both. really interesting. >> up next is to immigration ireland. out of control. more than a thousand dublin than a thousand people in dublin have we're going to have protested. we're going to be about with be talking about this with arlene course, is arlene foster. of course, who is a minister of a former first minister of northern you want northern ireland. do you want to miss pictures? northern ireland. do you want to misit's pictures? northern ireland. do you want to misit's amazing..? northern ireland. do you want to misit's amazing. don't go >> it's amazing. don't go anywhere.

away and actually we're talking about rural areas. some of the rural areas in ireland are really suffering now because the whole nature has changed. you know, these rural little villages and towns and there's a influx of migrants that come in and they change the whole character of the place where they live. and that's why people are feeling so strongly about it. >> breaks down social cohesion. >> breaks down social cohesion. >> absolutely . >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> do you think something's changed in the air, arlene, that people allowed to say people are now allowed to say that and i hate that. i think we should be allowed say should be allowed to say anything to offensive , but anything to be offensive, but the we're now talking the fact that we're now talking about on this channel are the about it on this channel are the channels still not talk channels still may not talk about but i do feel there's about it, but i do feel there's something in the air that even the mainstream, more the more mainstream, more establishment channels now are looking this looking at pictures like this and mass and saying perhaps mass immigration a very short immigration over a very short space of is fundamentally space of time is fundamentally changing and that's not good. >> no, it's not good, and it's not good for the people that come in. and it's not good for the people who are already living there. and ireland also pndes

living there. and ireland also prides itself as a country of 100,000 welcomes, you know, and we welcome everybody and we love to have people come and visit us. and that's why you see resistance from the politics in all of this. and a lot of the shouting was aimed at leo varadkar the taoiseach. and interestingly , sinn fein right interestingly, sinn fein right now, as you know, sinn fein have been climbing all the time and polls in the republic of ireland. there was a poll out at the weekend that shows that they have dropped to their lowest point three years, and it's point in three years, and it's to do with immigration because they've encouraging they've been encouraging it. they are they have they they are pro—immigration. they they pro—immigration. they say they welcome everybody. because welcome everybody. and because of this, they of that, they before this, they were putting themselves around as, the champions of the as, as the champions of the working class. and we're there for and we'll, we'll sort it for you and we'll, we'll sort it all and we're a good all out. and we're a good socialist now ordinary socialist and now ordinary people turning on sinn fein people are turning on sinn fein and saying, sorry, you're traitors. that's what they said in actual you are treated in the actual you are treated the ordinary working class, the migrants jobs. migrants take their jobs. >> , their houses, >> yeah, take their houses, school spaces, the same issues we have here. yes yes. >> and you'll remember this came

to a head dublin when a child to a head in dublin when a child was stabbed. i do, and for a long time nobody would actually say immigrant. that say it was an immigrant. that did is shameful. did that, which is shameful. which is is actually which is which is actually shameful . it's a bit like this shameful. it's a bit like this awful case of throwing acid in clapham for, for a while , people clapham for, for a while, people didn't want to say that it was actually nearly an illegal immigrant. >> and now it's really big part of the story because the wretched man was they tried to deport him twice and failed. and then became a christian. yeah. >> and think there's a really >> and i think there's a really big that. big issue around all of that. and i mean , the church is saying and i mean, the church is saying the church of england is saying that the home it's up the that the home it's up to the home office to determine whether they a christian they are really a christian or, well, you can't do that. well, sorry, you can't do that. if are actually facilitating if you are actually facilitating this. be naive, this. you have to not be naive, but actually challenge these people. >> we've got much time. we've talked about the prime minister in the programme the in the programme and the pressure. he's under over what he said. yes, sure. brianna ghey his the parliament now his mum in the parliament now tomorrow debate on tomorrow there's a big debate on in house of lords which in the house of lords which you're taking part in. yes there's, there's a private

member's brought forward by member's bill brought forward by a liberal democrat peer a liberal democrat mp or peer around conversion therapy and the banning of conversion therapy. >> and i think for a lot of us, the difficulty is it's so vague and it's and includes because it's actually modelled on a law from australia and victoria and australia and victoria and australia and victoria and australia and if it's the same as that , it will include prayer. as that, it will include prayer. so if you're asking somebody to repent of their sins, that actually could be caught by this law. so it's an incredibly vague bill. and i think there's, i think 49 people wanting to speak tomorrow is going to be a long day tomorrow, but i think it's really important that we have a debate on the issue. and i know the tragic case of briahna grey has and it's obviously has happened, and it's obviously in spotlight again because in the spotlight again because of happened but of what happened yesterday. but we on the actual we must focus on the actual what's in the as opposed to what's in the bill as opposed to what's in the bill as opposed to what happened, because that what has happened, because that was case hate. yes, it was was a case of hate. yes, it was a it was not about conversion therapy. it was actually about hate. and the evilness of the people carried it out . and people that carried it out. and i there's a real issue i think there's a real issue there to debate

tomorrow. >> just briefly, the worry is that mums and dads talking to their might say their kids who say, might say they change the church they want to change the church could this conversion. >> absolutely. if the child says, want to get puberty says, i want to get puberty blockers, to have blockers, i want to have a mastectomy. if they're a girl wanting become man, then if wanting to become a man, then if the say no, let's talk the parents say no, let's talk about this, they could be caught because not affirming because they're not affirming what wants and what that child wants right? and i leads to physical i mean, that leads to physical harm. leads mental health harm. it leads to mental health issues. there there are issues. and so there there are real issues that we need to talk about. and i hope we talk about them tomorrow. yeah. >> and it just leads to parents being disempowered. yes. again. and again, potentially and again and again, potentially criminalised home. criminalised in their own home. right, arlene. good to see you as always. now as always. fascinating. now still out who rishi still to come find out who rishi sunak still speaks to and wouldn't rule out bringing into his cabinet. it's a former prime minister and a friend of this channel. >> first, though, with big hair, sophia wenzler has your. news. >> thanks, bev. it's 1031. sophia wenzler has your. news. >> thanks, bev. it's1031. i'm sophia wenzler in the gb

month prison sentence and a £1,000 fine. >> so let's hear now from our westminster, from westminster , westminster, from westminster, our political correspondent olivia utley olivier. just explain us how the law is explain to us how the law is being changed. who who might also be upset about this ? also be upset about this? >> well, bev, essentially what's happening is the home secretary is tabling some amendments to the criminal justice bill, which is going through the house of commons at the moment. and what those amendments would do is basically strengthen up the legislation around protests. so there are three different measures that the home secretary would one of would like to take. one of them is face masks and face is banning face masks and face coverings at protests. under these laws , anyone found with a these laws, anyone found with a face covering at a protest who refused to take it off would be eligible for a £1,000 fine and up to a month in prison. eligible for a £1,000 fine and up to a month in prison . uh, up to a month in prison. uh, climbing on war memorials would also be made illegal under these new laws. that's something which has lots of public backing, actually. and finally , bringing actually. and finally, bringing fireworks and flares to a

protest. that's something that we've seen particularly in the pro—palestine, uh, events of recent weeks would be made illegal, too. now this all sounds pretty radical. pretty sweeping, as though the government is really planning a proper crackdown on these protests . but there are quite a protests. but there are quite a few more hurdles the government protests. but there are quite a fe'goinga hurdles the government protests. but there are quite a fe'going to urdles the government protests. but there are quite a fe'going to haves the government protests. but there are quite a fe'going to haves tiget overnment protests. but there are quite a fe'going to haves tiget over1ment is going to have to get over before we actually get into a position where people are being arrested for wearing face masks. firstly, of course , there is the firstly, of course, there is the procedure of the bill through parliament. now, last year , the parliament. now, last year, the government brought in the public order act, which also had a few measures to try and crack down on protests and they found that in the house of lords, there was a lot of disquiet about the bill. they had lots of peers on the and the left of the the right and the left of the house of lords felt that this got too close to a crackdown on free speech and got too far to infringing on the right to protest in general. so i think what we can expect to see is this bill to be amended, these amendments to be amended, actually. ping actually. so parliamentary ping pong, as they it, when the

pong, as they call it, when the bill gets to the lords from civil liberties campaigners. the other , which i've heard other issue, which i've heard raised mps is how raised among mps is how practical is this law? if you look at those photos of some of those pro—palestine protests, face masks are a really, really common occurrence. i mean, probably about one in i'm estimating 1 in 5, maybe 1 in 10 people are wearing some sort of scarf or face covering, etc. these protests are already incredibly expensive for the met police. the met police estimate that they spent about £27 million so far on policing these protests and trying to pick out individuals wearing face masks individuals wearing face masks in crowds of sort of up to 100,000 will be very, very difficult , time consuming and difficult, time consuming and expensive for the met police. so these sound like bold ideas from the government . but whether we the government. but whether we will actually get to a stage where they are implemented is another question. >> very interesting. that's olivia utley in westminster for us. that's point . is it us. that's the point. is it going can it be practical

going to can it be practical policing? it's going to put a huge pressure police, huge pressure on the police, isn't huge pressure on the police, isn'and they're not, if it's >> and if they're not, if it's not for practical reasons, then why the government doing not for practical reasons, then why nowthe government doing not for practical reasons, then why now to government doing not for practical reasons, then why now to appear.�*nent doing this now to appear. >> tough . >> what tough. >> what tough. >> tough on crime, tough on the causes oh >> tough on crime, tough on the causes on that causes of crime. on no. that was tony blair. >> not much difference, is there? right the prime minister has apologise over has refused to apologise over his pmqs yesterday his trans jibe at pmqs yesterday , while the mother of murdered trans teen brianna ghey was in parliament. let's listen. what happened ? happened? >> everyone ? >> everyone? >> everyone? >> i was completely shocked by brianna's case. to have your child taken from you in such awful circumstances is almost impossible to come to terms with for and brianna's mum to talk with such empathy and compassion about that i thought was inspiring , about that i thought was inspiring, and it showed the very best of humanity. i have nothing but the most heartfelt sympathy for her entire family and friends . but to use that and friends. but to use that tragedy to detract from the very separate and clear point i was

making about keir starmer's proven track record of multiple u—turns on major policies, because he doesn't have a plan, i think is both sad and wrong, and it demonstrates the worst of politics. >> the father has demanded an apology from you. so will you honour that ? honour that? >> if you look at what i said, i was very clear talking about keir starmer's proven track record of u—turns on major policies because he doesn't have a plan, a point only proven by today's reports that the labour party and keir starmer are apparently planning to reverse course on their signature economic green spending policy . economic green spending policy. that just demonstrates the point. i was making. he's someone who was just consistent . someone who was just consistent. he changed his mind on a whole range of major things, and i think that is an absolutely legitimate thing to point out, and demonstrates he and it demonstrates that he doesn't for the doesn't have a plan for the country. and what about country. and what to ask about your dental recovery plan announced yesterday. >> those plans, can you >> under those plans, can you guarantee that everybody will

milk price currently , which is milk price currently, which is relatively low compared to, um, high input costs. and we've reached a perfect storm, quite frankly . um, many farmers can frankly. um, many farmers can earn more money from the, the, uh, new government incentive of sustainable farming incentive , sustainable farming incentive, which was put in place to try and, um, replace the subsidies that we used to get from europe, which was called sps. um, the sustainable farming incentive is never going to match what we could have earned , or it was to could have earned, or it was to subsidise low food . um, retail subsidise low food. um, retail price really . subsidise low food. um, retail price really. um, but it's subsidise low food. um, retail price really . um, but it's never price really. um, but it's never going to match that , which is going to match that, which is fine. but when we're now facing low milk prices , for example, um low milk prices, for example, um , we've really reached a perfect storm. again, adding in interest rates as well. >> tell us, tell us about the milk prices. what do you what do farmers get for a pint? would it work out for a pint of milk or two pints of milk, compared to what retailer charges ?

what the retailer charges? >> so get paid per litre , >> so we get paid per litre, right? um, so we're currently getting £0.36 per litre. gosh and our cost of production is £0.42 per litre. approximately >> so you're making a loss at the moment effectively. and you feel like the government are not helping to subsidise you now that those eu subsidies have gone. that those eu subsidies have gone . um, just talk a bit as gone. um, just talk a bit as well about these protests we've seen across germany, netherlands , poland, france, denmark, you know, we've seen them everywhere. there has been some success, haven't they . some of success, haven't they. some of there have been some victories for those farmers. kelly, at the moment. how have they managed to make that happen ? make that happen? >> they've really put a lot of pressure on their government and they have seen great success at they have seen great success at the moment. i don't foresee that uk farmers will be protesting . uk farmers will be protesting. it's not really how the uk does do things. i think we need to raise a bit of awareness first and foremost and that's how i've become involved in no farmers, no food . the campaign that you

no food. the campaign that you may have seen on x, um , which is may have seen on x, um, which is gaining a great deal of traction and consumer support. >> and kelly, what about the idea of encouraging more people when they go if they buy their food in a supermarket to look for british label ? for the british label? >> absolutely. we have a fantastic system over here. us label, british food , and i don't label, british food, and i don't want this to become don't buy european food . obviously our european food. obviously our european food. obviously our european counterparts are suffering as much as we are at the moment . suffering as much as we are at the moment. um, but ultimately it's a bit dog eat dog at the moment. um, so yeah, we do need that support from from the general to public really buy british food . but i don't want british food. but i don't want this to be a campaign to say, buy british, buy british. we've heard that all before. we actually need fairer, um , price actually need fairer, um, price structuring throughout the, the whole supply chain . whole supply chain. >> what time does your day start, kelly. because i assume farmer's it's an early start for you. we start milking at 430 in

are shouting, fat shaming. you know, care about being know, do they care about being offended or do they care about living the sky, living falling out the sky, falling out of the sky? well, so this will mean some people won't be on the plane be able to get on the plane because they're over the weight limit. no, just to because they're over the weight limit.the no, just to because they're over the weight limit.the weight just to because they're over the weight limit.the weight juthey're not chart the weight so they're not going stop getting going to stop you from getting on want on the plane. they just want to know overall weight know what the overall weight will go on. know what the overall weight wilinicky go on. know what the overall weight wilinicky shaming. )n. know what the overall weight wilinicky shaming. well, it's >> nicky shaming. well, it's complicated, isn't it? i think about point of about this from the point of view anorexic when view of being anorexic when i was and the idea of was a teenager and the idea of getting weighed in any capacity would have been really difficult. in fact , actually, difficult. in fact, actually, when i was pregnant, i really struggled those feelings. struggled with those feelings. coming because put on coming back up because i put on so weight was so much weight when i was pregnant. sometimes so much weight when i was pregjustt. sometimes so much weight when i was pregjust do sometimes so much weight when i was pregjust do . sometimes so much weight when i was pregjust do . and, sometimes so much weight when i was pregjust do . and, um,etimes so much weight when i was pregjust do . and, um, theies so much weight when i was pregjust do . and, um, the staff you just do. and, um, the staff in the hospital said, don't weigh yourself . don't weigh weigh yourself. don't weigh yourself because you don't need to because kind to see it because it's kind of that's up down that's when you end up down this, this path of restricting your that your eating again. but that said, small number said, that's a very small number of those of people that have those problems. think the problems. and i do think the problems. and i do think the problem should be an exemption for though, for pregnant women though, because about because actually thinking about your stuff your luggage and how much stuff your luggage and how much stuff you with you you have to take around with you when especially when you're pregnant, especially if you're to baby. if you're about to have a baby.

i that should be a little i think that should be a little caveat, broadly, i do caveat, but but broadly, i do agree especially agree with it, especially as a small because it's like small person, because it's like i've want i've got loads of shoes. i want to another of shoes in to put another pair of shoes in because, i wonder if because, you know, i wonder if it more though, time it was more though, in the time when when larger when the when, when larger people, get an people, in order to get an average weight, i have to take less person less bags and a slighter person can bag of clothes , can take a big bag of clothes, you know, you know, i mean, having having been and having having been very fat and very thin and something in between of my life. between all of my life. >> i mean, i feel can talk >> i mean, i feel i can talk about obesity a good way. about obesity in a good way. i know when i was big know that when i was really big and a plane, my bum and i sat on a plane, my bum would barely fit in the seat. i could person next me would barely fit in the seat. i coula person next me would barely fit in the seat. i coula bit person next me would barely fit in the seat. i coula bit hacked rson next me would barely fit in the seat. i coula bit hacked off| next me would barely fit in the seat. i coula bit hacked off because me was a bit hacked off because they didn't have as much space as have done. as they should have done. >> you come and think, i hope >> so you come and think, i hope she's going to she's not going to sit. >> i i think, you know, >> so i mean, i think, you know, planes to change. generally planes have to change. generally they've got to have some bigger seats they've got to have some bigger se it. but i think this is of it. but but i think this is a really good safety measure. you know stop being know we've got to stop being scared word. scared of using the word. i mean, and were mean, nikki and i were just talking outside. talking about this outside. we're frightened word we're frightened to use the word fat now, in case it offends people. know, get over people. well, you know, get over it if you're that offended it. >> but but obese more it. >> but but obese is more is

extreme fat. but we're allowed to word you know. extreme fat. but we're allowed to well, word you know. extreme fat. but we're allowed to well, 60%d you know. extreme fat. but we're allowed to well, 60%d you population >> well, 60% of the population is makes it sound is obe. but obese makes it sound like an illness, whereas like it's an illness, whereas fat sound like it's fat makes it sound like it's something about it. something you can do about it. >> it's and that's >> right. and it's and that's the issue. >> it's difficult. you >> it's very difficult. you know, very much person to know, it's very much person to person. somebody's weight person. what somebody's weight issues psychologically person. what somebody's weight issues physically.)gically person. what somebody's weight issues physically. sometimes well as physically. sometimes people are taking steroid medication. them put medication. it's made them put loads on. there's medication. it's made them put loads of on. there's medication. it's made them put loads of differentn. there's medication. it's made them put loads of different reasons's medication. it's made them put loads of different reasons for why is heavier than why somebody is heavier than somebody i notice with somebody else. i do notice with my girl her little my little girl in all her little books, got of books, she's got a book of opposites. word fat isn't opposites. the word fat isn't there. they use the word large. now and carol was saying now you, we and carol was saying , you're the word fat , you're seeing the word fat just expunged the english just expunged from the english language. you think the >> would you do you think the word should be there? word fat should be in there? i don't know, i feel very conflicted it because of conflicted about it because of having had eating issues in the past, to able past, but you've got to be able to word, to use a descriptive word, haven't you, to describe something that's eating issues are more complicated than that. >> course are . of course >> of course they are. of course they so much more they are so much more psychologically than psychologically difficult than anorexia control . anorexia is a lot about control. it's a lot family, it's a lot about family, relationship, going relationship, things going wrong. it's not just about wanting sit at large can be broad. >> it can be could. >> it can be it could. >> it can be it could. >> it can be it could. >> it could tall.

>> it can be it could. >> whereas tall. >> it can be it could. >> whereas fattall. >> it can be it could. >> whereas fat isl. >> it can be it could. >> whereas fat is very specific. >> it can be it could. >> fatereas fat is very specific. >> it can be it could. >> fatereveryit is very specific. >> it can be it could. >> faterevery specific. specific. >> fat is very specific. >> fat is very specific. >> we've got to >> and also we've got to talk about i think it's i think about it. i think it's i think the reason we unable to talk the reason we are unable to talk about now is one of the about it now is one of the reasons rocketing, because reasons it's rocketing, because we're terrified. doctors are frightened to say to a person that comes into their surgery, you are overweight , that comes into their surgery, you are overweight, you are that comes into their surgery, you are overweight , you are fat, you are overweight, you are fat, and you have to lose it. otherwise your health is in dangen danger. people are frightened to say it to you when you were in your big days. >> oh god yeah, my doctor, you know, every i i went >> oh god yeah, my doctor, you kncmyzvery i i went >> oh god yeah, my doctor, you knc my knees. i i went for my knees. >> year and a m >> about a year and a half ago. and there said, can and the guy there said, can i just if you were, if he just say, if you were, if he said if you lost 5% of your body weight, be in 30% less weight, you'd be in 30% less pain in your knees. and i said to him, just made that to him, you've just made that up. it's tosh. it wasn't tosh. i don't have any pain in my knees anymore. so i think people, you know, to confront them know, we've got to confront them with it. otherwise their lives are to get any are never going to get any better. don't be offended . better. yeah. don't be offended. >> be motivated that. >> be motivated by that. >> be motivated by that. >> i say >> but the one thing i would say is children, because is with children, because children so sensitive, like children are so sensitive, like i girl at i remember as a little girl at ballet being had legs ballet being told i had fat legs when probably seven years when i was probably seven years old, forever. old, gave me a complex forever. i ballet i told you that the ballet teacher, oh, the people did back then. >> people 80s then.

>> people did 80s and 90s. >> people did 80s and 90s. >> to you. >> that's why they talk to you. but trying say but what i'm trying to say is we've to careful with we've got to be so careful with children. children to children. children we've got to kind take a bit more, children. children we've got to kincalso take a bit more, children. children we've got to kincalso tackleee a bit more, children. children we've got to kincalso tackle childhoodyre, but also tackle childhood obesity same yeah, obesity at the same time. yeah, yeah. complicated. obesity at the same time. yeah, yeaokay complicated. obesity at the same time. yeah, yeaokay . complicated. obesity at the same time. yeah, yeaokay . right..icated. obesity at the same time. yeah, yeaokay . right. thank you both. >> okay. right. thank you both. we've another quick we've got to take another quick break. we're going to be talking to anti—racism and anti—racism campaigner leaked campaigner about those leaked disney rules . half the disney diversity rules. half the main have to be from main characters have to be from minority backgrounds, half the staff have to be from minority backgrounds. oh, we'll find out in just a moment. keep watching this program very this program because it's very good. on

listening to gb news radio. >> good morning . welcome back. >> good morning. welcome back. 1147 now, actress gina carano is suing disney and lucasfilm over her firing from the tv show the mandalorian. she's got help from elon musk. >> so gina, who played cara dune in the star wars series, claims she was dismissed because of her social media posts that were regarded by disney as anti—trans. that's right, lucas

and lucasfilm and disney are yet to make a statement, but this has opened a whole can of worms about disney's recruiting process and their diversity policy . policy. >> so we're joined in the studio now by anti—racism activist iman aiden. iman, great to see you. >> thanks to you. >> thanks to see you. >> thanks to see you. >> story is massive >> so this story is massive online. i it's about to online. i think it's about to hit mainstream press as well hit the mainstream press as well because raised idea of because it's raised this idea of effectively inclusion standards at disney and what we would have once called positive discrimination mission. is that a good thing to have targets for people of ethnic, diverse minorities in employment? >> okay. well, firstly , positive >> okay. well, firstly, positive discrimination is inaccurate . discrimination is inaccurate. positive discrimination is against the law under the equalities act of 2010. it's actually referred to as positive action provisions . and that's action provisions. and that's basically exceptions to the usual requirements of discrimination law. and they can only be implemented when you follow free, strict, free, strict criteria. firstly, if one of the cohorts within the protected characteristics suffers a disadvantage due to their protected protected

characteristics. second is if there is a disproportion lack of participation within a particular area within an organisation . at that point, organisation. at that point, they can implement positive action. and last but not least, if there are specific needs, i'll you an example. if an i'll give you an example. if an organisation realises that their building necessarily building isn't necessarily accessible for those that are disabled , they might decide to disabled, they might decide to spend a 250 k on on making their their building more accessible to that are in to those that are in a wheelchair and that potentially means that people like me and you money. and in you don't get any money. and in fact , we you don't get any money. and in fact, we might you don't get any money. and in fact , we might be at fact, we might actually be at a disadvantage because the money that taken away . but that we have is taken away. but the why they're doing the reason why they're doing that they've realised that is because they've realised that is because they've realised that around freely. that bev can walk around freely. andrew can walk around freely, imarn ayton can walk around freely, but sally, unfortunately, who's in the wheelchair , she can't. so wheelchair, she can't. so therefore, in to order make it fair, equal for sally in the wheelchair , we're going to do wheelchair, we're going to do positive action provisions. so free strict criteria. so in terms of what you just said, positive discrimination is

against the law. and in terms i just wanted to make one more point. we're talking about tick boxing is ultimately boxing here. this is ultimately where you're going where you're where you're going with this question. it okay with this question. is it okay to black people for to tick box for black people for those that are represent lgbtq+ to tick box for black people for thosi that are represent lgbtq+ to tick box for black people for thosi that say represent lgbtq+ to tick box for black people for thosi that say this esent lgbtq+ to tick box for black people for thosi that say this tickt lgbtq+ to tick box for black people for thosi that say this tick boxingt+ and i will say this tick boxing every and procedure in every process and procedure in your life is governed by tick boxing. let me just be clear. the minute you start school . bev the minute you start school. bev primary school, your teacher does the register. she organises the lesson plan, all of which are based off of a tick box exercise. decide exercise. the minute you decide you for a job, you you want to go for a job, you want go into higher want to go into higher education. you to education. you want to get a car. get a mortgage. car. you want to get a mortgage. you want to on tv. you want to be on live tv. you've certain you've got to fit a certain criteria. guys, that's called a tick exercise. basically , tick box exercise. so basically, moral of the tale is if you ever want to execute anything properly in life, bev and andrew what does what happens in that process automatically turns into a exercise ? that's just a tick box exercise? that's just how it is. so let's not separate it. this is life. tick box life . it. this is life. tick box life. >> think that is a bit different actually. you at, actually. and if you look at, well , if you actually. and if you look at,

well, if you look disney's well, if you look at disney's inclusion standards . no. because inclusion standards. no. because actually in defence of what you're don't think you're saying, i don't think a box. well, am woman. are you're saying, i don't think a box. vman am woman. are you're saying, i don't think a box. vman inm woman. are you're saying, i don't think a box. vman in thatwoman. are you're saying, i don't think a box. vman in that respect. are you're saying, i don't think a box. vman in that respect. maybe a gay man in that respect. maybe we tick boxes. i in terms of employment, you were employed based off a tick box. >> just forget forget women i disagree. are based off disagree. you are based off youn disagree. you are based off your. forget forget the your. okay. so forget forget the nine characteristics. your. okay. so forget forget the nreally characteristics. your. okay. so forget forget the nreally want characteristics. your. okay. so forget forget the nreally want to :haracteristics. your. okay. so forget forget the nreally want to talk cteristics. your. okay. so forget forget the nreally want to talk to ristics. your. okay. so forget forget the nreally want to talk to you :s. i really want to talk to you right forget the nine right now. forget the nine protected characteristics. forget based of forget eddie just based off of your they to make your criteria, they need to make sure you have the sure that you have the providence provenance. need providence provenance. they need to have done to make sure that you have done this they to this job before. they need to make they attested make sure that they attested you. is a tick box. someone make sure that they attested you. sheet a tick box. someone make sure that they attested you. sheet a ticisays, someone make sure that they attested you. sheet a ticisays, you1eone make sure that they attested you. sheet a ticisays, you know has a sheet that says, you know what? pass audition what? did bev pass the audition does? bev impartial? is bev, does? is bev impartial? is bev, this is bev, that is bev. the tick box. tick box, tick box. and yet we've decided that eddie tick box should be. so that's that's equality diversity and inclusion all using the phrase eddie all of it for recruitment is tick box. >> disney's inclusion standards then say that on screen represent representation characters on screen for 50% or more of regular and recurring characters must be from

underrepresented tick box groups. >> yeah, that's a tick box. if you want to execute something properly. okay. in fact, let me. well, it's the same with creative leadership, same with like all the people who work there, want 50% are are there, they want 50% are are from underrepresented groups, guidelines . guidelines. >> but why does but where does that lead? where does that leave people who aren't in those underrepresented groups? >> it looks after all of us. and this is what this is. what i get annoyed when talk this is what this is. what i get annoyiedi, when talk this is what this is. what i get annoyiedi, we when talk this is what this is. what i get annoyiedi, we actwhen talk this is what this is. what i get annoyiedi, we act asen talk this is what this is. what i get annoyiedi, we act as if talk this is what this is. what i get annoyiedi, we act as if it's talk about edi, we act as if it's just because we know it to be nine characters. what nine protected characters. what we fail to appreciate is actually incorporates every actually it incorporates every single human being in england, every person, that every type of person, all that they've done is put everyone into nine characteristics. so whether that be gender, whether that be race, whether that be sexual orientation, whether that be, uh, what is it? maternity and pregnancy. everyone has been put into a characteristic. so moral of the tale is everyone has been looked after. and the reason we have the tick box reason why we have the tick box is just ensure that everyone is just to ensure that everyone is just to ensure that everyone is so . is continuously so. >> if is so benevolent , why

>> if it is so benevolent, why has somebody like elon musk put his weight behind this? on his warped idea of dei, this , this warped idea of dei, this, this is what's happening. >> he has a very warped idea. how is it warped? >> because what he's saying for is people by these is stop judging people by these immutable characteristics and judge them on the quality of the job they perform. job that they perform. >> isn't that interesting? >> oh, isn't that interesting? and issue has and this is what my issue has been. this is what so many black people's issue has been. this is what so many . and the reality what so many. and the reality is, i'll give you an example. just so i don't kind of go off on because i could on a tangent because i could talk days. i'll give you an talk for days. i'll give you an example. so in um, do dup example. so in 2009, um, do dup did a um , uh, report. thank you. did a um, uh, report. thank you. thank you very much. they did a report , um, into racial report, um, into racial harassment within recruitment, recruitment and this was one year before the equalities act. so the equalities act of 2010, we had this report in 2009. moral of the tale is they realised that white people had to send out, uh, nine applications in order to be successful, whereas black people had to send out 16. so moral of

the tale the discrimination, the racism already took place and the equalities act is there to rectify that issue. and it's only like people like elon musk with his rich white self. and i'll say it as it is rich and white isn't necessarily privy to me and my kind of issues as a black woman from south—east london, we've run out of time eamonn and like said, you eamonn and like you said, you are talker . are a good talker. >> again another day >> come back again another day and this and we'll finish this conversation. got to conversation. we have got to move it from us for move on. that's it from us for this week. next. good this week. even up next. good afternoon and afternoon britain with tom and emily. bag, emily. stop packing your bag, andrew pierce. see you tomorrow. >> you put your 28 billion in. >> you put your 28 billion in. >> you put your 28 billion in. >> you take your 28 billion out, in, out, in, out. shake it all about keir starmer's doing the hokey cokey the public hokey cokey with the public finances . but where will he end finances. but where will he end up? the details . up? we'll have the details. >> the countryside racist ? >> apparently that's what wildlife charities believe. it's a racist colonial space. a white racist colonial space. so there you go. is that true? we'll be discussing all of that and more after the . weather. and more after the. weather. >> looks like things are heating
