the moment, a lot of people are very unhappy at the moment and the membership especially, but at the moment the general election is looming, this could be may, this could be in be in may, this could be in october, but conservatives october, but the conservatives need to that need to come in to that election. united >> wales will know who their next first minister is today. that's due to be announced in the next few minutes. voting closed on thursday. the successful candidate will succeed mark drakeford. fawn gething and jeremy miles have been competing to replace mr drakeford , who officially stands drakeford, who officially stands down next week . sadiq khan has down next week. sadiq khan has issued a plea for liberal democrat and green supporters to back him , as he seeks a third back him, as he seeks a third terms as the mayor of london in a pitch to fellow progressives. mr khan's launching what he describes as a love letter campaign as he visits kingston in southwest london today to persuade supporters of other parties to lend him their votes in the election. the mayor said

couple of miles away from here, when it was built in the 1980s, it was fine , but now there's so it was fine, but now there's so much traffic using it, and 80% of the traffic on the a3 wants to switch to the m25. you're always getting hold ups there. very high accident rate. there and so therefore to clear it all up they're going to widen things. give people extra opportunities to join and leave the motorways . the motorways. >> and a manhunt is still underway after two people were injured in a suspected crossbow attacks in london last night. the metropolitan police says a man and a woman were shot with crossbow bolts in separate but unked crossbow bolts in separate but linked to attacks . the 44 year linked to attacks. the 44 year old woman was struck in the head, and a 20 year old man in the neck within 200ft of one another. both victims were treated for their injuries in hospital, but they've been discharged . officers are discharged. officers are carrying out urgent work to identify a suspect . for the identify a suspect. for the latest stories, you can sign up

good.thank >> well, i'm alongside the a i'm good. thank you. i'm alongside the a320 which is going through the a320 which is going through the very leafy village of ottershaw in surrey. now ottershaw in surrey. now ottershaw actually features in the h.g. wells science fiction classic war of the worlds. of course, about that famous invasion. and locals here tell me they feel like they're being invaded by traffic. this is normally quite a quiet location population here in this village is actually under 3000 people. but today , tomorrow, up to 6:00 but today, tomorrow, up to 6:00 on monday morning, they're being warned by national highways that they could face up to 6000 vehicles travelling through here every hour. now, why is that a problem? well, here, if you just pan around here, we can see this is actually the home to quite a major ambulance station. and i've been speaking to locals and they've been telling me that they're seriously concerned that if they do up with gridlock if they do end up with gridlock traffic, they could face traffic, that they could face problems. these ambulances, paramedics could face problems in responding to any emergencies

down the end of this road. down here we have a big roundabout which could potentially become blocked. they fear and therefore they're encouraging people to heed that advice to take alternate routes, stay at home. they say , but do not travel they say, but do not travel through our village. okay >> ray addison, thank you very much indeed. that is a bit of a worry, but for now at least, there's not gridlock traffic behind you, do you? let us know if you today. if that affects you today. gb views news. com but for views at gb news. com but for now to look through the top stories of today. are stories of today. we are delighted joined by ceo delighted to be joined by ceo and of the youth vote and founder of the youth vote uk, cairns , and uk, alex cairns, and entrepreneur social entrepreneur and social commentator joanna jarjue. really good to see you both this morning and we wanted to start with this story, the front page of the daily mail this morning. pretty extraordinary, isn't it? a penny mordaunt a plot to crown penny mordaunt as the next leader of the tory party? the fourth, this would be since the 2019 elections. it's extraordinary. joanna. yeah >> i mean, to be honest, it's not really a surprise. it seems as if every two seconds there's

kind of a for a takedown of kind of a plot for a takedown of a prime minister even, you know, one of most popular ones, one of the most popular ones, bofis had one of the most popular ones, boris had a plot by boris johnson, had a plot by rishi it seems as rishi sunak, and it seems as if it's of coming full it's kind of all coming full circle now. and some would say that it's karma, really, for rishi sunak and imagine that rishi sunak and i'd imagine that a people who were a lot of the people who were actually supporting penny mordaunt for mordaunt or looking for a takedown rishi sunak are also takedown of rishi sunak are also massive supporters of boris johnson and kind of come from that camp. but then the same that camp. but then at the same time look at penny mordaunt that camp. but then at the same time you ok at penny mordaunt that camp. but then at the same time you know, ’enny mordaunt that camp. but then at the same time you know, as ny mordaunt that camp. but then at the same time you know, as somebodynt that camp. but then at the same time you know, as somebody who's and, you know, as somebody who's not supporter and i kind not a tory supporter and i kind of think that she seems like more of the decent side of the tory party, quite level headed. obviously you know, she's fulfilled certain roles. we all saw her in the coronation you know, holding the thing and, you know, holding the thing and, you know, know, all of know, out of, you know, all of them. it seems as if she's the most kind of decent really. so it's to me that it's quite surprising to me that people at right side people who are at the right side of the party and the moderates are in to bring her in, are coming in to bring her in, because it seems as if, you know, they're trying oust know, they're trying to oust rishi because he's not rishi sunak because he's not extreme enough for them it extreme enough for them when it comes tackling

comes to, you know, tackling migration about rwanda. and migration and about rwanda. and i the people i just wonder if the people who are right of are at the right side of the party will actually what party will actually get what they penny mordaunt, they want from penny mordaunt, but you've made a really but i think you've made a really good there, is that good point there, which is that she that broad appeal, she does have that broad appeal, doesn't she, across the party. she does have that broad appeal, doeand she, across the party. she does have that broad appeal, doeand that's:ross the party. she does have that broad appeal, doeand that's whatthe party. she does have that broad appeal, doeand that's what the party. she does have that broad appeal, doeand that's what the tory. >> and that's what the tory party isn't it, alex? >> yeah. but i actually think that sitting at that they've been sitting at home watching cards home watching house of cards because fact that they're because the fact that they're about another prime about to ditch another prime minister actually minister is actually mentor. i was backstage to joanna, minister is actually mentor. i vireckon backstage to joanna, minister is actually mentor. i vireckon there'szstage to joanna, minister is actually mentor. i vireckon there's going to joanna, minister is actually mentor. i vireckon there's going to be nna, i reckon there's going to be a netflix documentary after the election. it's going to be all of reality of this plotting and the reality is matter who is like, it doesn't matter who they in as leader, right? they put in as leader, right? like the proof is in the pudding, like they're trying to get migration figures down. they're people get migration figures down. the ine people get migration figures down. the ine housing people get migration figures down. theine housing ladder.3le get in the housing ladder. they're to get interest they're trying to get interest rates of is rates down. none of that is happening. doesn't really happening. so it doesn't really matter who's prime minister, right? whoever right? they could put whoever and make difference. and it won't make a difference. >> think it will? >> so do you not think it will? >> so do you not think it will? >> think it's too late. >> no. i think it's too late. they're behind in the polls. they're behind in the polls. they're this because they they're doing this because they want regroup the want to regroup. regroup the narrative, it, but it's narrative, i get it, but it's not to make difference. not going to make a difference. who's what if they get >> but what if what if they get that right, but then they that bit right, but then they get something else wrong? i mean, is to get

mean, who is going to get everything right? there everything right? has there ever been got been someone that's got everything this everything right? and this is the you know, the problem. so, you know, they might solve problem, but might solve one problem, but then problem. then there's another problem. >> seems as if the >> so it just seems as if the tory party overall have become more than ever more divided than we've ever kind of witnessed. i think kind of witnessed. and i think that tory party themselves that the tory party themselves and the mps don't have enough confidence in themselves. i mean, are mean, over 60 of them are stepping down for the next general election. some of general election. and some of them, people like them, you know, people like theresa and theresa may, real veterans. and then got some then obviously you've got some people some of the people that maybe some of the nafion people that maybe some of the nation might quite nation might actually be quite glad the back of, like glad to see the back of, like matt and kwasi kwarteng, matt hancock and kwasi kwarteng, that best that we haven't had the best experiences with. and i think experiences with. and so i think that party almost needs that the tory party almost needs to some time, take to take some time, maybe take a step back and regroup and actually out, you know, actually figure out, you know, what actual principles are what their actual principles are so know they even so that we know who they even are they're so divided are because they're so divided at the moment. >> do what it is about >> do you know what it is about penny think it might penny mordaunt? i think it might have coronation the have been the coronation and the sword, strikes me as sword, as she just strikes me as the that you the prime minister that you would an itv drama. would see on an itv drama. >> do you not think she looks prime ministerial? >> have been like cobra >> have you been like cobra wouldn't on sky? 100. wouldn't she on sky? yeah, 100. yeah yeah yeah. yeah yeah yeah yeah. >> i wonder if that >> so i mean i wonder if that carries over to the tory party

what do you think at home, do you if rishi were to you think if rishi sunak were to be penny mordaunt be replaced, is penny mordaunt the to go? do us know the way to go? do let us know what you gb views at gb what you think. gb views at gb news. com. >> emma emm- >> yeah. and i'd like to talk about middleton, because >> yeah. and i'd like to talk abo really middleton, because >> yeah. and i'd like to talk abo really confused on, because >> yeah. and i'd like to talk abo really confused here. cause i'm really confused here. everyone where is she? what is she why did she photoshop she doing? why did she photoshop this? what? that. she doing? why did she photoshop this?can't what? that. she doing? why did she photoshop this?can't we what? that. she doing? why did she photoshop this?can't we just what? that. she doing? why did she photoshop this?can't we just leave that. she doing? why did she photoshop this?can't we just leave hert. why can't we just leave her alone ? what is going on here? alone? what is going on here? what's your. what's your thoughts on this? i think it's tough, because naturally, you know, looking this know, if i was looking at this and didn't all and we didn't have all the context everything context of everything that's gone royal family gone on in the royal family previously , we. previously, we. >> be saying leave her >> i would be saying leave her alone. but same time, alone. but at the same time, i think that the royal family have made by setting made a huge mistake by setting a certain when comes made a huge mistake by setting a ce meghan. when comes made a huge mistake by setting a ce meghan. and when comes made a huge mistake by setting a ce meghan. and i when comes made a huge mistake by setting a ce meghan. and i think comes made a huge mistake by setting a ce meghan. and i think that mes made a huge mistake by setting a ce meghan. and i think that when to meghan. and i think that when you've branded meghan as you've kind of branded meghan as the that's demanding the one that's demanding privacy, really privacy, but then not really realising that she's got a particular role and a duty and has to kind of be paraded in front us no matter what, then front of us no matter what, then you up a position now you end up in a position now when needs the when kate really needs the privacy can't get it privacy and she can't get it because so used being because we're so used to being in their business and finding out everything about them, even after given birth , you

lovely. >> very well, thank you pete . >> very well, thank you pete. yeah, you're looking good, both of you. >> yeah. thank you very much. and you too. so. okay, the feuding brothers, let's talk about this. harry and william, are ever to make up? are they ever going to make up? i mean, it just seems to be one minute. they seem like they're going to get it back together. then the next minute they're completely separated again. what's thoughts? completely separated again. wh well, thoughts? completely separated again. wh well, thinkrghts? completely separated again. wh well, think this.? completely separated again. wh well, think this is the >> well, i think this is the clearest illustration that this relationship absolutely relationship is going absolutely nowhere , i mean, they couldn't nowhere, i mean, they couldn't even appear virtually at the same event, the diana legacy awards. and that means a great deal to them. they're both very supportive of that, that awards, whatever it is, organisation , whatever it is, organisation, and they've decided i think it was probably william decided that he couldn't even appear in the same room with harry on a screen from california. so william spoke first, and then harry appeared virtually. what a sad situation and how desperate their mum would have been, i personally think that she would

have found a way some time ago to sort this out, and maybe the rift would never have happened, but i'm sure she would have knock their heads together and said, come on, boys, you've got to sort this out . to sort this out. >> it also seems when our queen was here, things seemed a lot more sort of together. seems to be so much separation going on. >> well, they in tricky , tricky >> well, they in tricky, tricky waters. it has to be said these first three months have been desperately sad, we have the william and harry saga, but now , william and harry saga, but now, they are looking very thin on they are looking very thin on the ground. i don't think that's a problem in itself for the royal don't buy into royal family. i don't buy into this idea that this whole idea that the monarchy is in crisis. think monarchy is in crisis. i think we'll through just we'll come through this just as we'll come through this just as we years. been we have over 35 years. i've been reporting this family , there reporting on this family, there have many crises, and have been many, many crises, and it will come good, i think, but it will come good, i think, but it is a very changing picture with social media the way it is. and that is an evil place, particularly, i think, when it comes to celebrity and the royals, and i personally feel so sad that catherine has had to at

z= be made aware of , ”be made aware of what 7 , ”be made aware of what is? least be made aware of what is being said about her on social media, and this breaks my heart because i just think this is a woman in the prime of life who has been cut down, failed in some way. that's taken out of the public gaze for three months. and she deserves the time and the space, and she deserves just not to have people speculate about her health, her innards, her body, her mind . innards, her body, her mind. it's too much. >> yeah. i mean, i was saying before you know, there could be a mental health issue going on or a long term physical health problem she might not to problem she might not want to talk about. doesn't have to talk about. she doesn't have to talk about. she doesn't have to talk everything. you know, talk about everything. you know, people she's people are still she's still a human being at the of the human being at the end of the day. and just feel that day. and i just feel that everyone's of pushing and everyone's sort of pushing and pushing pushing and she pushing and pushing and she should alone. should just be left alone. that's my opinion. >> agree with you. >> well, i agree with you. absolutely. a human being absolutely. she is a human being and that a very public role and that is a very public role she she's a goldfish she has. she's in a goldfish bowl. i mean, i don't know how any of us will survive the scrutiny that royal family

scrutiny that the royal family have withstand . have to withstand. >> jenny, i wanted to ask you about meghan markle's new brand american riviera orchard and more specifically, the timing of that announcement, because it was quite remarkable, wasn't it really ? an hour before the diana really? an hour before the diana legacy awards, this went live on instagram. do you think this was a coincidence, or do you think that was calculating calculated from meghan and team meghan ? from meghan and team meghan? >> well, you know, i am not a conspiracy theorist. i refuse to be put in that corner. so i think the best of people, if i possibly can, it is slightly strange , but you know, probably strange, but you know, probably whenever she launched that website , there would have been website, there would have been criticism, there would have been some royal event going on and people would say, oh, i mean, she wasn't going try and she wasn't going to try and upstage her husband was upstage her. her husband was she? was taking part she? and harry was taking part in that ceremony as well. so i don't think it was vindictive at all on meghan's part. and i really wish her well. what a brilliant website it looks. it's exactly what she should be

doing. great at all that stuff. >> see, that's why we love you, jenny. she always positive? yes. neven jenny. she always positive? yes. never. never like you in that way. never says a bad thing about anyone. that's why we love you. >> oh, jenny. lovely to see you. thank so much your thank you so much for your company this morning. thank you very let us know very much indeed. do let us know what you make about of that. what you make about any of that. whether meghan markle's new whether it's meghan markle's new lifestyle she's lifestyle brand, you know she's going selling like going to be selling things like jams and glasses, jams and spreads and glasses, things but to be things like that. but to be fair, that's what jenny just said. when harry and meghan left the royal family, they said they wanted to be financially independent. to be fair to independent. so to be fair to her, on she started a her, on them, she started a business doing it. business there and doing it. yeah that's how you do it. yeah and that's how you do it. that's you money. that's how you make money. >> got think when people, >> you got to think when people, if sit around and don't if people sit around and don't do people criticise. if people sit around and don't do you're ople criticise. if people sit around and don't do you're outs criticise. if people sit around and don't do you're outs critictrying so when you're out there trying to yeah yeah. to go for it, yeah i think yeah. >> it's a bad thing. and for >> it's not a bad thing. and for many people sure they would many people i'm sure they would say that she's say it's better that she's making than making netflix making jam than making netflix documentaries the royal documentaries about the royal family. know what family. but do let us know what you views at gb news. you think. gb views at gb news. com her in the com which would put her in the pickle would her a pickle which would put her in a pickle. very good, very, very

service in afghanistan, with the second royal tank regiment. >> now, nikki's story is heartbreakingly but unfortunately not unusual as scotty's little soldiers are currently providing bereavement support for over 650 military children and have pledged to support over 1000 bereaved military children by 2030. that's incredible. >> it is just the most incredible work . so, nikki, incredible work. so, nikki, welcome to saturday morning live and a huge congratulations. you are this week's greatest briton and you are truly incredible. the work that you do. tell us a little bit more about scotty's little bit more about scotty's little soldiers , because this is little soldiers, because this is so important to you and so personal. yeah. >> so, it's not just me, by the way. there's, like, a team behind me, and our supporters are incredible. but, i set up scotty's because when lee was first killed, obviously, you know, our world fell apart. i was 28. i just thought life's done. you know, kai was five, brooke was seven months. and then as time went on, i started to realise that, you know, i

started to think about how many other bereaved children are going this. there was going through this. there was such support for such limited support for bereaved military children. so many military many great uk military charities, but real limited support for the children. so yeah , i didn't quite know what yeah, i didn't quite know what i was doing or how to do it, but had the passion and drive and yeah, the response been yeah, and the response has been incredible . there are so many incredible. there are so many children. seeing the children. are you seeing the most photos here of lee? >> you make the most beautiful couple. do you even begin to couple. how do you even begin to explain children what explain to your children what happened to their dad? >> are that the hardest thing you've you know, you do. and actually, i feel like even now, it's like nearly 15 years on, it can still , you know, you still can still, you know, you still have those moments where it just feels unreal and actually you tell your child once, but actually, you know, they were five and brooke was seven months, so i've probably had to tell them like a loads of times throughout life. and as throughout their life. and as they they understand they grow and they understand more, ask questions they grow and they understand morithey ask questions they grow and they understand morithey want; questions they grow and they understand morithey want to questions they grow and they understand morithey want to know, estions they grow and they understand morithey want to know, you>ns they grow and they understand morithey want to know, you know, and they want to know, you know, you just say he was killed you can't just say he was killed in action. they want to know in action. they now want to know where, happened

where, how, why, what happened that you know. so that morning, what you know. so you're over again and you're going over it again and again and as grow. again and again as they grow. >> what point? because >> and at what point? because i've always wondered this. when someone a someone has gone through a bereavement yourself. bereavement like yourself. yeah. at point turn around at what point do you turn around and well, okay i've, and think, well, okay i've, i've, i've been able to sort of do as best as i can to overcome this bereavement. now i'm going to go and help others. at what point did that happen. >> oh, it's all a blur if i'm honest, i was in a really dark place and because i had two young children, i was having to get out of bed. you know, kai was like, i want coco pops. i want coco pops, you know? so i was to up, i was having to get up, but, i didn't here, i'm didn't want to be here, if i'm honest. know, was really honest. you know, i was really in a dark. it was. lee was just. yeah. he was 26, and he was just a, you a real life full of a, you know, a real life full of life and. but i went on holiday nine months after lee was killed. i didn't want to go. that was another. i was like, i don't want to go on holiday and watch all having fun. watch families all having fun. but my cousin was like, come on, come come come on, you're going to come and it was that i saw and it was at that point i saw kai in the swimming

kai laughing in the swimming pool his cousins, i pool with his cousins, and i kind it so corny, kind of had. it sounds so corny, but had that, like lee would but i had that, like lee would be going like, need be going nuts. like, i need to. i help children. i need to help these children. and started to and then, yeah, started to wonder others had wonder how many others had experienced the death of a parent weren't getting the parent and weren't getting the right parent and weren't getting the rigiit is incredible to you, >> it is so incredible to you, andifs >> it is so incredible to you, and it's such a testament you >> it is so incredible to you, and yousuch a testament you >> it is so incredible to you, and yousuch table ament you >> it is so incredible to you, and yousuch table t0|ent you >> it is so incredible to you, and yousuch table to take you that you were able to take your grief your there grief and your pain, and there was much pain there and put was so much pain there and put it and channel it into something as incredible scotty's little as incredible as scotty's little soldiers. just it's soldiers. it is just it's a testament to your strength and also the fact that you could see that there gap there where that there was a gap there where people needed support and help, justyeah. and there still is. >> yeah. and there still is. don't get me like we've don't get me wrong. like we've done work, offer many done amazing work, offer so many different services now to these children actually children because actually it's not just about death of not just about the death of their it's also these . their parent, it's also these. if you're living in a military garrison, that's your home because living it. i was because you're living it. i was living an house. that's living in an army house. that's kai school . you you move often kai school. you you move often move moved back to move back to i moved back to where my family were. so that was. you're just when you're used that military community used to that military community where around you where everyone around you serves, then you're out of serves, and then you're out of it. so scotty's is about also

bringing them back to that community again and being around others who truly understand what it's like. >> and your children obviously are always going to be proud of their dad. >> yeah, i hope so, yeah, definitely. >> but the flip side, too, >> but on the flip side, too, they're going to be proud they're going to be very proud of because you're doing of you because what you're doing is showing you're is you're you're showing you're both showing how both of you as parents do amazing things for your community. and thank you, the people. and that's, that's that's huge. yeah. >> and i also just i think it's really important, if you don't mind me just quickly saying that it's , you know, lee was killed it's, you know, lee was killed in served in the in action. he served in the army, much army, but scotty's is very much about a whole. about the military as a whole. so doesn't matter if, you so it doesn't matter if, you know, there's people know, if there's people out there listening, it doesn't matter whether raf, army, matter whether it's raf, army, navy they all served navy reserves. they all served our country. it doesn't matter whether they died by suicide, killed in action, illness and even now, supporting children of veterans as well because they served our country. they deserve to have their children looked after. so that yeah, it's really important to say, nikki, how proud feel? proud do you feel?

we're going to have a, you know, cashless society. i only ever have my iphone. everything's apple pay, everything's done through my phone. but actually when down, when it goes down, it's a disaster . and we saw it as well disaster. and we saw it as well yesterday mcdonald's as yesterday with mcdonald's as well. it systems going well. there it systems going down. then this it down. and then also this it really does cause chaos. then everybody gets on twitter. it's a when instagram goes a bit like when instagram goes down well. down as well. >> everyone to twitter, >> everyone runs to twitter, instagram complain . instagram and complain. >> so can be, you know, quite bad. >> are we too reliant on technology, especially in our shops, you think? shops, do you think? >> think we are. but i still >> i think we are. but i still wouldn't get rid of it. you know i would you love to i would still. you know, love to go that direction because it go in that direction because it happens in in a blue happens once in a, in in a blue moon. i never carry cash anyway. and it's small inconvenience. and it's a small inconvenience. maybe year for maybe one day in a year for a whole load of convenience. >> interesting what you said, because just dawned on me because it just dawned on me that the other my that that the other day my daughter, princess, she said to me, no, instagram's gone me, oh no, instagram's gone down. i was like, and it's not, it's not on. i said, i know i get what you mean, but what's the problem, well, it's down like it was a world, a huge

with you, the surgery was with you, jen. the surgery was obviously major, and has anyone thought reason the thought that the reason the palace is it palace aren't telling us? is it may be frightening for the children what their mum children to know what their mum has done? children to know what their mum has good.ione? children to know what their mum has good. yeah, maybe that's. >> good. yeah, maybe that's. maybe a good do maybe that's a good point. do keep them in shopping. keep them coming in on shopping. and this news that the supermarket sainsbury's , supermarket chain sainsbury's, their tech has gone down today. so got an online so if you've got an online delivery sainsbury's, delivery with sainsbury's, probably not going to be delivered we've also been delivered today. we've also been talking in talking about substitutions in onune talking about substitutions in online shops and swaps that are done item isn't in done when your item isn't in stock. pauline says i once ordered towels and ordered sanitary towels and sainsbury's sent me fabric conditioner. i'm still trying to find out the logic on that one. very good. yes. >> yeah, and on scotty's little soldiers, duncan says here. it's lovely see someone thinking lovely to see someone thinking of children's minds in a positive way, especially nowadays. are nowadays. these children are also be also veterans and should be treated heroes . treated like heroes. >> yeah, absolutely. >> yeah, absolutely. >> well, do keep those of you coming in really, really good to hear from you this morning. and now women now we're talking about women having babies a later age, having babies at a later age, aren't this morning we are aren't we. this morning we are tara tana ramsay sorry victoria coren mitchell and miranda kerr

are just some of the women in the limelight that are having children at an older age. yes. culture, and economy culture, society and the economy has changed over the has changed so much over the past years. and now births past few years. and now births among women over has risen by among women over 50 has risen by 15. you believe so? is it 15. would you believe so? is it really as simple as quantity over quality when it comes to your fertility? well, to answer this, we are joined by fertility and nutrition coach claire inniss. really good to see you this morning, claire. and we're talking about quantity over quality or more quality over quantity. because if women are waiting longer to have children and we know that they are, you have much fewer eggs. but your message is it's about the quality of them. >> yep. absolutely. so my message is the quantity. the amount of eggs you have is completely outwith your control. we can do nothing about that. but the quality. yes that does decline over age. but the three months before an egg is ovulated is pivotal and if you we can

make massive lifestyle changes. the three months before an egg is ovulated to improve its quality by improving egg quality, does two really important things. it improves the chance of actually becoming an embryo and it adds extra protection against miscarriage. so it's massive. and i can't believe everyone isn't talking about this. >> yeah, i feel like that's not something that's out there in the public realm. so it's actually the three months before you're conceive that you're looking to conceive that you're looking to conceive that you really focusing on you should be really focusing on your what can women your health. what can women be doing time? your health. what can women be doiimy time? your health. what can women be doiimy favourite1e? your health. what can women be doiimy favourite question. so >> my favourite question. so there's lots lifestyle things there's lots of lifestyle things that they can do. and the reason i'm so passionate about this is they don't need a prescription. it's things that they can do for themselves. so managing their nutrition really well, making sure they're getting the right dietary fats. so dietary fats, especially the unsaturated ones, they help us create hormones. it's all about getting our body in this lovely, lovely homeostasis to have a baby. so we want to make really healthy

eggs. we want to eat properly. good lean protein is close to the mediterranean diet as possible and the right supplements as well. so most women will go gung ho and they'll have a week of taking everything and eating lettuce and everything organic. everything and eating lettuce and everything organic . and and everything organic. and it's, you know, massaged by virgins. and it's all wonderful. you don't need to do that. you just need to be consistent with the important things. keep hydrated, eat your vegetables, don't kid yourself on your eating vegetables. actually eat your vegetables . yeah, and just your vegetables. yeah, and just be nice to yourself. >> and what about contraception? i mean, is that is that damaging? you're taking damaging? if you're taking contraception? no. >> so the barrier methods is absolutely not damaging because that's not that's not affecting hormones at all. and for the vast, vast, vast majority of women, contraception is not going to make a difference to their long term fertility. there's going the odd there's going to be the odd exception. it's really not exception. but it's really not something that you need to worry about. contraception is right when it's right. if you don't want to have a baby, don't

stress that. so, so many stress about that. so, so many women i work with are women that i work with are riddled with guilt because they were contraception. or maybe were on contraception. or maybe they used to smoke and they blame but that must blame themselves, but that must be a strange mind shift for women that you work with where they've spent their whole lives trying not to get pregnant, being on contraception, and all of a sudden they're like, oh, i do want a baby now. >> and then all of a sudden they have switch their body around have to switch their body around and body do that? can and can your body do that? can your just switch itself your body just switch itself from not conceiving from obviously not conceiving to being from obviously not conceiving to beiiwell, can't do it >> well, it can't do it overnight. i feel overnight. i mean, i feel ovulatory a month ovulatory cycle takes a month for most women. if women are thinking having a baby in the thinking of having a baby in the short term, definitely come off contraception 3 to 6 months before you want to actually start. it's a long time trying, but the mind does happen. but the mind shift does happen. that quickly. like literally so many women i work with have spent whole life terrified spent their whole life terrified of and then spent their whole life terrified of just and then spent their whole life terrified of just wake and then spent their whole life terrified of just wake up and then spent their whole life terrified of just wake up onend then spent their whole life terrified of just wake up one morning they just wake up one morning and they see babies everywhere, and they see babies everywhere, and can think. and that's all they can think. >> is nature? do you think? >> is that nature? do you think? because mum a similar because my mum said a similar thing, had me later in

thing, she had me later on in life, was career life, but she was a career woman. whilst elizabeth for her was woman. yeah. and woman. whilst elizabeth for her was wanted woman. yeah. and woman. whilst elizabeth for her was wanted to 'oman. yeah. and woman. whilst elizabeth for her was wanted to putin. yeah. and woman. whilst elizabeth for her was wanted to putin.offah. and woman. whilst elizabeth for her was wanted to putin.off as and woman. whilst elizabeth for her was wanted to putin.off as late she wanted to put it off as late as could and she said it was as she could and she said it was literally an overnight thing. she wanting she went from not wanting children at all to i need to be a mother. and then you just a mother. yeah and then you just expect your body to keep up with that. >> and they don't recognise themselves the stories themselves either. the stories they're telling not they're used to telling and not noticing. kids not noticing. kids and just not being bothered, and all of a sudden and must sudden they're just and i must have baby. need a baby right how. >> now. >> i think it shows just how amazing the body is. >> i think it shows just how am yeah,the body is. >> i think it shows just how am yeah, you body is. >> i think it shows just how am yeah, you must body is. >> i think it shows just how am yeah, you must seedy is. >> i think it shows just how am yeah, you must see that. >> i think it shows just how am yeah, you must see that with >> yeah, you must see that with emily what's that? she's emily now. what's that? she's just incredible mother, just the most incredible mother, isn't looks don't isn't she? it looks like i don't know what like at home, know what she's like at home, but when i've seen her looks like it doesn't faze in like it doesn't faze her in the slightest. she's the most natural most natural mother, the most beautiful takes it beautiful bump. it takes it all in stride. yeah. in her stride. yeah. >> is. i've got nothing to >> she is. i've got nothing to complain thank you very complain about. thank you very much. you, claire. much. and thank you, claire. thank much. so more thank you so much. so lots more to come on show today, to come on the show today, including meeting the amazing iris williams from jealous. i wasn't cutting you off, by the way. interesting. way. oh, no, it was interesting. thank hearing all about his thank you. hearing all about his latest this is saturday latest venture. this is saturday morning news, morning live live on gb news, britain's channel. morning live live on gb news, brityou're channel. morning live live on gb news, brityou're all channel. morning live live on gb news, brityou're all right. nel. morning live live on gb news, brityou're all right. you're >> you're all right. you're forgiven. >> do?

very difficult , people, people very difficult, people, people see me on tour performing, making music , but, myself and my making music, but, myself and my wife , you know, we went through, wife, you know, we went through, two miscarriages. oh, you know, and, you know, for us, that was and, you know, for us, that was a very devastating time and very difficult to know how to kind of process those emotions and i guess as a man, i did the thing of bottling up my emotions and where i feel comfortable to, to be able to express myself is in the studio. whereas you know, she had obviously a different reaction to you know, what happened to us, because not only was it happening to her mentally , psychologically, but it was happening as happening to her physically as well . and i had seen her, you well. and i had seen her, you know, i had i had i had been by her side and seen her go through hell and back and to and together we went through that and as and i think what something that she really would wanted to see from me was that sensitivity and that emotion .

sensitivity and that emotion. and i thought that as a man, being was trying to being strong was trying to bottle up my emotions and just show you know, show her that, no, you know, that i'm being strong for her. but actually strong was is but actually being strong was is talking about it. and what's happened since i've started happened ever since i've started to talk about it is i've spoken to talk about it is i've spoken to more men that have experienced baby loss, and together we've been to cry together we've been able to cry together we've been able to cry together , we've been able to together, we've been able to talk about our experiences together . i talk about our experiences together. i mean, when i first kind of my wife forced out of me , you know, how do you feel? and iended , you know, how do you feel? and i ended up as a mess on the floor. i was exasperating crying almost inconsolable. she was just holding me in her arms as we cried together and we cried together, and i didn't realise i needed that release so badly. it just came out in floods of tears and emotions and ever since, like i said, i've been able to speak to other men and, and we've been able to cry together and they've, they shared their own experiences, which they did similar where they similar to me, where they thought being strong was not talking it, getting

talking about it, getting on with getting on with life with work, getting on with life and just trying to, you know, just soldier through. but actually, you know, as men, i feel like that conversation and that sensitivity and being able to be emotions together is everything. i've never spoken about this before , but the about this before, but the reason why i feel comfortable now is because i'm with peter . now is because i'm with peter. >> he's my friend. >> he's my friend. >> he's my brother. do you know what mean? and i just what i mean? and i just feel i feel like i'm in a safe space to be able to talk. >> well, you are rac. >> well, you are rac. >> and thank you so much for sharing that with us. honestly, i going to help so i think you're going to help so many feel like many men out there who feel like they and they can't they can't speak and they can't share you said, it's share as you said, it's so important feel you're important to feel like you're not you're going not alone. you're not going through that. through that by yourself. that. rishi, for rishi, thank you so much for coming we clip of coming in. have we got a clip of his music that we can share? his new music that we can share? >> i have to i've got some >> i have to say, i've got some technical issues. >> i say i'm glad >> i will say that, i'm glad people are getting to hear you and because know and see you because i know you as person and you're a as a person and you're a beautiful person. >> you are a beautiful person. >> you are a beautiful person. >> love that that you're >> i love that that you're coming you're being to coming and you're being able to talk thank you talk like this freely. thank you so thank you . >> thank you.
