her. she looks very, very thin and let's be clear to the palace will not be displeased by this because they know if a couple like that and about, like that are out and about, people always take photographs. >> mobile >> people have got mobile phones, haven't they, the whole time and after the miss, the misfired mother's day photograph. this looks very nice. she looks happy. you've got to say, she's looking a bit thinner than she lasted. but she has had major surgery, so would you. anything else. >> i tell you, the bit i do find a little bit strange is the fact that she's carrying the bag of shopping. >> think a show >> i think you've had a show that fit . that she's fit. >> are don't think that's accidental? >> no, no. accidental? >> all no, no. accidental? >> all stage 0. accidental? >> all stage managed down to the last i think last second. i would think for sure . and it's probably only sure. and it's probably only a bag of. it's probably only a loaf bread. and williams loaf of bread. yes. and williams and holding something to. >> yeah. en- to. >> so yeah,1h. to. >> so yeah, it's showing that working mum. and then she's going back to the house. yeah. to do lunch. great. >> you know, does this put your mind at rest at home? gb views at gb news. com is the email address. do you want this picture to have been released? are you happy this? do are you happy to see this? do you stop talking

you just want us to stop talking about it? let's talk to jonathan kohut, a media lawyer. kohut, who's a media lawyer. good morning jonathan. thank you very forjoining us. so very much forjoining us. so obviously there's this relationship isn't there, between the british press and the family. it is the royal family. a lot of it is kind of unwritten rules of respect courtesy from the respect and courtesy from the press to the family. so what kind of conversations would have been going on, do you think, as a as a media lawyer, in order for the paper to run this because it wasn't taken by a paparazzi ? paparazzi? >> well, i know the in—house legal team at the sun, there are three very good guys , and they three very good guys, and they won't, i'm sure, not only thinking about the technical issues of the ipso code in press organisation, code in the law, but knowing them, they'll also be thinking, you know, what would we think is right or wrong? but from a legal point of view, there's not the slightest problem. there's this, the deer. princess catherine is walking in an open space. i'm quite sure that the kensington palace knew perfectly well that the

likelihood is, as you say, everyone's got a mobile phone. now that that this would be captured somebody captured on film by somebody independent press standards organisation code which the sun has comply with, has has to comply with, has a privacy section. that's clause two, i've sent that over to youn two, i've sent that over to your, your guys. and as you can see, there's no breach of the privacy privacy code and the independent press standards organisation is, way of thinking. so from a technical and regulatory and legal point of view, they haven't done anything wrong, and jonathan, this is a couple that know wherever go, somebody's got wherever they go, somebody's got a camera, whether it's a phone or a video camera, and i suspect can't be 100. but knowing how the palace operate, they will be not displeased that this is now getting wide currency around the world. and while there is still some people going to say, oh, it's not her, most people now, i suspect this is going to put their minds to rest. she's well on the to recovery. on the road to recovery. >> well , i

on the road to recovery. >> well, i would be astonished if it wasn't assumed by the good folk at kensington palace that this footage would be taken and would emerge , and i'm quite sure would emerge, and i'm quite sure that therefore, there they're happy. now, i have watched the eight minute section on sun website, and it's extraordinarily supportive , extraordinarily supportive, there's nothing embarrassing or intrusive, said . they're all intrusive, said. they're all they're all very appreciative of princess catherine. they're all delighted that she's. well, they're all making the point that, we aren't we can't expect to know everything about her medical details. that's absolutely right . so, all in absolutely right. so, all in all, you know, and this is from someone who's a regular critic of the tabloid newspapers. it's a , to the sun a thumbs up from me, to the sun on this one. they they they aimed to be a blessing to princess catherine. and i'm sure that's how it be treated. jonathan how does it work in this situation? >> you're person , as >> if you're a lay person, as the customer was this farm the customer was at this farm shop their phone the customer was at this farm sho and their phone the customer was at this farm sho and they've their phone the customer was at this farm sho and they've takentheir phone the customer was at this farm sho and they've taken this phone out and they've taken this footage, do the then buy

footage, do the sun, then buy the off that individual the picture off that individual and then retain ownership and continue , because continue to sell it, because this will have made the paper quite of money around the quite a lot of money around the world, i would imagine. >> well, yeah, it it made stacks of money. and certainly the fact that there's, there's footage, i mean, the footage, they've turned it into an eight minute program, sun. the program, the sun. but the footage is, i don't know, footage itself is, i don't know, about 12, 15 seconds, something like that, but absolutely right. the expression that's used in the tabloid world is you buy it up. so they bought up the they bought up the footage. and indeed, you're quite right. they will a fortune, around will have made a fortune, around the world using the footage. but, you know, it's a commercial organisation, the sun. there's no reason why they shouldn't do that. no reason why they shouldn't do that . the only slight irony i that. the only slight irony i would say about sun is that would say about the sun is that they're very keen on ensuring that their intellectual that their own intellectual property rights are not infringed. they're not quite so careful about the intellectual property rights of other people. >> , it's interesting as >> yeah, it's interesting as well, jonathan, that tmz, which is the tabloid, showbiz agency

in america , have also bought in america, have also bought this video, which is a reflection , frankly, of how big reflection, frankly, of how big a story this has been across the across the water, huge in america . america. >> well, yes. and we have , you >> well, yes. and we have, you know, in the prince of wales, princess of wales to absolutely lovely people with princess of wales. bless her. i mean, a film star looks a lady of great, great grace and gifts. and we're very fortunate to have them. so, you know, and i suspect a lot of the american folk wish they had a royal family rather than donald trump or joe biden. donald trump orjoe biden. right. so it's not surprising that they are, very popular in the states . and it's not the states. and it's not surprising, therefore, that this footage has done good business. okay >> thank you. jonathan. jonathan, talk to you, their media let me just can media lawyer. let me just can i ask you, andrew, the fact ask you, andrew, will the fact that this is sort of commodifying kate to some degree will will there have been difficult conversations about

that with the newspaper because the times have changed, haven't they? >> no, because they would >> no, no, because they would argue doubt. this is argue without a doubt. this is in , a lot of in the public interest, a lot of people, everyone's talking about it interest . the it worldwide interest. the palace have got no objection to this. they have got a this. yeah. and they have got a newspaper to sell. this will sell newspapers. also sell newspapers. but also this is about their online is also about their online reach. yeah. because people will be and to see this be going online and to see this video and it's huge. look let's talk to ian lloyd who is a royal biographer and taken photographs of the royal family for years . of the royal family for years. ian, if you'd been by that farm shop as she walked out with william, prince william, you'd have gone to heaven and died all in one go. >> well, yeah. i mean, anybody would. i mean, it's, it's quite an interesting place to have seen them because it's sort of semi—public. i mean, the public access it through the road from datchet and old windsor, the royal family access it through their estate. so it's about, a mile from their house, adelaide cottage. they just drive past the royal burial ground at

frogmore and then and then enter the back of the farm that way. so it's sort of semi—private. it's the equivalent of popping to the local shop for a pint of milk. really, i think, sorry , milk. really, i think, sorry, i'm just going to say you photographed these this family for years. >> how do you think she looks, i think she looks great. i mean, it's quite interesting. there's no attempt to disguise her. i mean, i mean, william's got the cap, you know, pulled down. and quite often in that brief moment when somebody walks past you, you that them? you you think, is that them? you know, celebrities never know, because celebrities never look flesh they look in the flesh like they do on television or in the on the television or in the newspapers. so there's always a moment you know, moment when you think, you know, is them not? suppose the is it them or not? i suppose the fact back , you fact there's probably back, you know, police people with them and rover would give it and a range rover would give it away. but, i mean, there's no attempt disguise her. and, if attempt to disguise her. and, if you look at the video, she's walking very briskly and looking very well. so, i think she she would have gone with the expectation of being seen and possibly photographed. and as you say, it's not probably bad

you say, it's not probably a bad thing at the moment because it allays all the fears. you know , allays all the fears. you know, we were just talking here about the the culture of the the change in the culture of the relationship between the royals and the way that they distribute images of themselves. >> of course, there was a time when ever be a when there would only ever be a formal photographer take formal photographer to take photographs, and kate has certainly set the precedent of wanting herself. wanting to take those herself. sometimes as it works very well, sometimes it backfires as we saw with the picture released for mother's day. what do you think they should do in this modern world in terms of curating the imagery that the public see? >> it's difficult because , one i >> it's difficult because, one i was mainly a photographer in the 90s and noughties sort of thing, and there was a division when you were pressed because you had a and you were a press camera and you were pubuc a press camera and you were public because you had a little tiny one of those, you know, sure things you just, sure shot things that you just, pushed of pushed and clicked sort of thing, everybody's thing, now everybody's a potential photographer and, they realise that even if there's no press, as they weren't at the shop, that anybody can get a

creditable image, you know, so it's very difficult for the royal family and particularly, i think, for william, because he's determined that, we won't slide into this situation that we had with diana because, i mean, i'm old enough to remember and perhaps you are, andrew. the, the bit diana shopping the bit when diana went shopping in tetbury and got to lots of upset from the royal family and the queen called all the editors of the day into a meeting at buckingham palace, and, i remember it was the editor of the news of the world said, well, why can't you just send somebody get somebody out to go and get her wine gums? queen wine gums? and the queen said, that's remark wine gums? and the queen said, that ever remark wine gums? and the queen said, that ever heard, remark wine gums? and the queen said, that ever heard, you remark wine gums? and the queen said, that ever heard, you know,emark wine gums? and the queen said, that ever heard, you know, she rk i've ever heard, you know, she was , they were worried about it was, they were worried about it 40 years ago. so, you know, and even worse, as i said, because it's the public doing it now. >> but that that that relationship is very important, isn't it? because you look at harry and meghan they've got harry and meghan and they've got it with the press it so wrong with the press because they've tried to control their output almost too much. would you say, rather than collaborate with the media and

the best person in the royal family i ever photographed was the queen mother , and she had an the queen mother, and she had an instinctive, understanding of the power of photography and the press. >> and i was once taken a photograph and she said, you know, somebody tried to stop them. and she said, well, you know, that camera there know, behind that camera there are 2 million people. and she didn't mean taking the photograph . she meant the people photograph. she meant the people that photograph that would see that photograph in the paper the following day and the one that's getting it right at the moment is, oddly enough, been enough, camilla, who's been through, know, years ago, through, you know, years ago, quite with quite a lot of hassle with photographers . i remember people photographers. i remember people chasing her in london through at an and, quite an engagement and, quite horrible for her. she had to dive into taxi , but she dive into a taxi, but she understands it as well. and she's. there's no hassle, there's no problem with her, and she's left alone. so i think you've got to kind of cooperate at the same time as it's got to be to understand, hasn't it? >> about >> you've got to be about visibility. they've got to be seen. >> that's it. yeah. mean, >> that's it. yeah. i mean, absolutely . and also if you, if absolutely. and also if you, if you, if you are always happy,

always relaxed, always smiling like the queen mother was and like the queen mother was and like camilla is, you get a good press, don't i you press, don't you? i mean, you know , if you're looking like, know, if you're looking like, you tortured you you know, tortured and you remember with harry remember that thing with harry and meghan they were in and meghan when they were in a car of that ? car chase and all of that? >> all right. thank you so much. royal biographer and former photographer lloyd. there photographer ian lloyd. there now this evening, nigel photographer ian lloyd. there now has this evening, nigel photographer ian lloyd. there now has an his evening, nigel photographer ian lloyd. there now has an exclusive|g, nigel farage has an exclusive interview with former president and possible president and possible future president donald trump. we're going to show you a sneak peek in a moment before playing out the full at 7:00 tonight, but full thing at 7:00 tonight, but stay here for a little bit of

play it up. it's a bit of a power play . did you it up. it's a bit of a power play. did you see it up. it's a bit of a power play . did you see that? even play. did you see that? even though obviously though they obviously get on very mean and the >> yeah. well, i mean and the polls like he's polls are looking like he's going president the going to be the president of the united and course he's united states and of course he's talking about prince harry. yeah. passport did he yeah. and his passport did he fib on visa application over fib on his visa application over his nato his drugs? that's right. nato will be huge. yeah. and of course, there'll all the course, there'll be all the politicking dreadful politicking about how dreadful joe biden is. >> well, joining us now >> okay. well, joining us now is professor in international politics, of politics, university of birmingham david dunn. good morning andrew kind of morning david. andrew kind of summing up there. the main themes here, what do you expect him to talk about, which could have significance across the world? i particularly want to see where he stands on the ukraine issue. >> well, i think you're absolutely right that the key question here is his comments with regard to nato. and in that brief clip there, again, you heard repeating the notion that actually, if, countries didn't pay actually, if, countries didn't pay that, then why should we protect them? and of course, that that strikes at the whole bafis that that strikes at the whole basis of the nato alliance, which attack on one is an which is an attack on one is an attack on all. and that

represents the bipartisan consensus in american foreign policy for the last 70 years, which trump seems to indicate that he wants to tear up. >> and thirdly, that didn't he he didn't he imply , professor, he didn't he imply, professor, that, if they don't pay up, then if trump if putin attacks, people in nato their own fault, their own problem. >> well, that's not the way that nato works. it's not like joining a country club. it's not a question of paying up, states make a commitment to a very strange of defence, commitments to the alliance, including, from the nato summit , a 2, to the alliance, including, from the nato summit, a 2, goal of gdp . but there's the nato summit, a 2, goal of gdp. but there's a the nato summit, a 2, goal of gdp . but there's a different way gdp. but there's a different way to measure the contribution , the to measure the contribution, the germans, for example, make the international contribution, and through having a massive, aid budget, much larger as a percentage of gdp than the united states does . other united states does. other countries have conscription. and therefore, even though they may not have as many, as much money spent, but their overall contribution is larger. so it's more a question of judging the

whole thing as a whole. but american leadership of west , american leadership of the west, and it has been allowed to be the west for 70 the leader of the west for 70 years and largely had support of, the alliances around the world has been on the basis that that actually america makes a commitment to international solidarity and security through those alliances. and it's not done on the basis of, of, of, of whether they meet per capita. >> david, let me ask you, you you teach international politics at the university of birmingham. what do your students think of donald trump? is he a figure of fun to political students in this country? >> he's more a frigate for my students. international politics students. international politics students. there's more figure students. there's more a figure of rather than, they of concern rather than, they recognise the deadly serious, issues that trump represents . i issues that trump represents. i mean, on a whole range of issues. he talked about aiding all aid budget. america is the biggest aid donor world. biggest aid donor in the world. he's talking about putting 100% tariffs cars tariffs on on the import of cars for the uk. jlr, one of the biggest markets, is america.

100% tariffs would have a major impact on that . he's talking impact on that. he's talking about having 10% tariffs across the board . that would be the board. that would be massively damaging for transatlantic trade. european security as in a bipartisan consensusis security as in a bipartisan consensus is one that has been attacked by students are very concerned about that. >> i hate to interrupt you. i could have listened to you all day, but i'm afraid we've run could have listened to you all day ofut i'm afraid we've run could have listened to you all day of time. afraid we've run could have listened to you all day of time. confirmation run could have listened to you all day of time. confirmation there out of time. confirmation there that students out of time. confirmation there tha'very students out of time. confirmation there tha'very left students out of time. confirmation there tha'very left leaningstudents out of time. confirmation there tha'very left leaning asdents are very left leaning as well. i think safely don't think we can safely say, don't go think we can safely say, don't 9° up think we can safely say, don't go up next, he is go anywhere. up next, he is marmite. we're going to be crossing senate crossing to the senate in cardiff, where mark drakeford crossing to the senate in card officially mark drakeford crossing to the senate in card officially stepk drakeford crossing to the senate in card officially stepk draklater will officially step down later today. good >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> good morning. welcome to your latest weather update from the met office for gb news. bit of rain around this morning first thing, but most of us will have a of brightening up sort of a kind of brightening up sort of day with some bright or sunny spells and not too much spells later and not too much rain by this afternoon. even this morning rain is fairly

what might people say in defence of in the his last what might people say in defence of in the office? his last day in the office? >> yes. good morning andrew and bev. well, for a long time mark drakeford of course , he was drakeford of course, he was first minister here for five years. that comes to an end today. things were pretty stable, pretty calm . you didn't stable, pretty calm. you didn't hear very much in the way of dissent . he hear very much in the way of dissent. he was in fact very, very popular here in wales and for a long time and right through covid, where, as you rightly said, wales had much stricter restrictions than the rest of the united kingdom. but the people of wales accepted that and seemed happy to go along with it in the last. it's only really the 20mph. debacle, if you like. i mean, there's arguments for it and against. but drakeford admits that perhaps they could have handled it better that his popularity has really started to slide. and of course, there's the issue of the farmers being potentially told to give over portions of

their land to trees and to sort of rewilding. that's very controversial as well. also not a great record on the nhs, but vaughan gething that is coming in tomorrow . as first minister, in tomorrow. as first minister, he will be the first black leader of any country in europe. so that's a big, big moment. but, i'm joined now by andrew rt davies. he is the leader of the opposition here in the senate, thank you so much for talking to us today on gb news, first of all, what do you make of drakeford's legacy and what do you want to see going forward? >> well, i think you break it up into two parts. there's the into two parts. one, there's the covid you just covid part, which as you just introduced the piece to the camera, was saying that the welsh people did get behind him in measures he took. now in the measures he took. now it's debateable how effective those measures were, because obviously in obviously more people died in wales than any other part of the united it is fact united kingdom. but it is a fact that gain widespread

that he did gain widespread pubuc that he did gain widespread public them. on the public support from them. on the second side the coin, though, second side of the coin, though, there policies there is these crazy policies that have come out recently, such as 20 across the such as the 20 mph across the whole wales . also, 36 more whole of wales. also, 36 more politicians in the building behind . whilst nhs waiting behind me. whilst nhs waiting times are spiralling of times are spiralling out of control, isn't in a control, the economy isn't in a good state here in wales and education performance has declined if you rank it on international rankings at pisa rankings showed just before christmas. policy christmas. so on the policy position, poor position, it's a very poor legacy, but on a public service, there's a tick the box there's a big tick in the box because the welsh people did vote him 2021. on the 20mph. >> specifically, it seems that people, when it's in their own road that they live in, are quite happy. it was more of a problem that some roads into town centres and whatever where people weren't living, that it was going to be well, actually introduced september , but introduced in september, but being enforced as of yesterday , being enforced as of yesterday, what are you calling on? because vaughan gething has indicated that they will look at tweaking it potentially. well no one

disagrees that outside sensitive sites such as schools, hospitals , care homes, etc. the 20 mph is a sensible traffic calming measure. >> but the but the national speed limit that they brought in across the whole of wales really did test public patience with this policy. and we've just seen come through doors of this come through the doors of this senate building, over half a million, nearly half a million signatures on a petition, the biggest petition in the senate has seen to revoke these has ever seen to revoke these measures. and as you said, the incoming first minister has highlighted that he will have a review i'm sceptical how review of it. i'm sceptical how effective that review will be. we just need to get rid of 20 mph back to the sensible mph and go back to the sensible policy area, which says that outside yes, 20 outside sensitive sites, yes, 20 is plenty. but when it comes to the that was the wider network that was historically 30 mph, we need to restore that 30mph back onto welsh roads, 20 miles hour welsh roads, 20 miles an hour limits , though, are nothing limits, though, are nothing exclusive to wales. >> there's lot of them in >> there's a lot of them in urban areas in england as well. aren't there ? aren't there? >> there are, but that's the localised nature of the policy in england, where, sure, we had last september, the national

rollout across all roads that were 30 mph, down to 20 mph and 97% of that road network was reduced to 20mph. that will have a devastating impact on the economy , even by the welsh economy, even by the welsh government's own figures of £9 billion across the welsh economy, something economy, which is something the welsh can ill afford. welsh economy can ill afford. and it's debateable. when you look europe look at other areas in europe and across the united kingdom, whether desired whether it will have the desired outcomes in saving fatalities and which want outcomes in saving fatalities an see. which want outcomes in saving fatalities an see. so which want outcomes in saving fatalities an see. so it's/hich want outcomes in saving fatalities an see. so it's not| want outcomes in saving fatalities an see. so it's not saying want outcomes in saving fatalities an see. so it's not saying that|t to see. so it's not saying that 20 is bad. outside sensitive sites hospitals sites such as schools, hospitals , care homes. it's a sensible policy. but the national rollout of this policy was a bad policy move by the by the first minister and government, minister and his government, and the responded the people have responded accordingly . accordingly. >> and you make of the >> and what do you make of the story telegraph today >> and what do you make of the storychildren'elegraph today >> and what do you make of the storychildren arejraph today >> and what do you make of the storychildren are being:oday >> and what do you make of the storychildren are being allowed that children are being allowed to choose their gender that children are being allowed to in choose their gender that children are being allowed to in schools hoose their gender that children are being allowed to in schools ,oose their gender that children are being allowed to in schools , effectivelygender id in schools, effectively transition, and their parents knowing absolutely nothing about it? do you think that can be right? it's completely wrong. >> i'm a parent of four children myself , and >> i'm a parent of four children myself, and up to the age of 18, you are legally responsible for your well—being and your child's well—being and welfare, and it's vital that the

parent the centre of parent stays at the centre of the decision making, along with the decision making, along with the sure that the the child, to make sure that the welfare of the children are protected here wales. a protected here in wales. it's a crazy, crazy policy area, and i would hope that incoming would hope that the incoming first minister take first minister will take a radical the radical look at it and put the safeguards in place that should be required. >> finally, election in the >> and finally, election in the senate here in 2026. but a general election coming later this year and conservative mps are fighting very publicly amongst themselves , thinking amongst themselves, thinking about getting rid of rishi sunak. what would your message be to them? your forecast potentially conservatives to lose all the seats in wales for them to shut up, get behind the prime minister, start doing the job they're paid to do, which is representing their constituents and mapping out a positive vision what the vision for what the conservatives that conservatives will offer at that general , because it's general election, because it's only conservatives only the conservatives on the side people, side of hard working people, whether it's in wales, england, side of hard working people, whether ior in wales, england, side of hard working people, whether ior northern, england, side of hard working people, whether ior northern ireland.d, scotland or northern ireland. >> look at what >> and when you look at what keir starmer has said, that wales the blueprint for wales would be the blueprint for his uk government only look at 1

in 4 people on a waiting list in wales. educational standards in freefall and the economy sadly wales. educational standards in freeperforminge economy sadly wales. educational standards in freeperforming and nomy sadly wales. educational standards in freeperforming and taker sadly wales. educational standards in freeperforming and take home not performing and take home wages £3,000 less than other parts kingdom. parts of the united kingdom. that's the blueprint keir starmer to. pull that's the blueprint keir starrfingers to. pull that's the blueprint keir starrfingers out. to. pull that's the blueprint keir starrfingers out. conservative your fingers out. conservative mps, get behind the prime minister let's the next minister and let's win the next general election . general election. >> varne andrew rt davies, thank general election. >> �*verye andrew rt davies, thank general election. >> �*verye andrew italkingzs, thank general election. >> �*verye andrew italking to thank general election. >> �*verye andrew italking to us|nk you very much for talking to us today. you very much for talking to us today . so a clear message today. so a very clear message today. so a very clear message to mps in to conservative mps in westminster. pull your fingers out and get behind the prime minister. of course, it's debateable whether conservative mps in westminster are listening back to you. >> thank you . catherine, and of >> thank you. catherine, and of course, we shouldn't forget. we did ask labour assembly members to come on. we invited every single one of them. they all declined but surprise declined, but no surprise because his because of course, one of his last , was to ban last acts, drakeford, was to ban gp news being inputted into the senate at a cost of £250,000 to the welsh taxpayer. >> do we look like we would be mean and unkind to you? we wouldn't. we'd be nice, we'd talk like talk talk to you, we'd like to talk to everybody still.

okay. very good morning, nigel nelson. wayne jenkin. just be quiet, just for a moment. but we're also joined by medical writer and broadcaster doctor renee hoenderkamp in the studio . renee hoenderkamp in the studio. morning, nigel. good morning, right. shall we go first to this story? yeah. this is a story about double standards between various broadcast channels. this

is a bbc interview with a journalist , is a bbc interview with a journalist, apparently in islamabad. have a look at the footage behind her on the motorway, behind the bridge. here we go . here we go. >> very high to an end course, in fact. and of course, the last few minutes, we've just had confirmation from the foreign ministry here in pakistan confirming that pakistan did carry out attacks inside afghanistan , inside afghanistan afghanistan, inside afghanistan territory. the statement has come saying that this morning, pakistan carried out intelligence based anti—terrorist operations inside. >> so if you could see, then thatis >> so if you could see, then that is on a loop. that is footage that's recorded renee and the boss comes out and then it jumps and then the boss comes out . how they to get out. how are they able to get away she might be in away with saying she might be in islamabad, not stood islamabad, but she's not stood on the motorway? on a bridge over the motorway? >> just, know, on a bridge over the motorway? >> rule just, know, on a bridge over the motorway? >> rule for just, know, on a bridge over the motorway? >> rule for you;t, know, on a bridge over the motorway? >> rule for you guys know, on a bridge over the motorway? >> rule for you guys and ow, on a bridge over the motorway? >> rule for you guys and one one rule for you guys and one for we're quite happy to for us, and we're quite happy to tell we are the tell the world that we are the arbiters is truth . we've arbiters of what is truth. we've got our bbc verify you can trust us please just look away. us so please just look away. don't see this because it's not

real and it's just obscene that they are allowed to paint this picture, that they are the place to go for really trustworthy information. this says live. it's clearly not live. it's clearly a lie. and i think we need to start being able to call the bbc out. why are ofcom not in charge of what the bbc did? >> yeah, yeah, because if that had been gb news nigel, they wouldn't the at wouldn't have thrown the book at us. have the us. they'd have thrown the entire library at us. >> probably right. >> yes, that's probably right. and justified . and no, this can't be justified. i mean, the whole thing is that they're presenting something which not true. which is basically not true. yeah, so there was no reason why that interview could not be done in a studio with that kind of backdrop of islamabad, as far as we know , that she's in we know, that she's in islamabad, what you can't do is, again, we're back to that thing about manipulating images. so, poor old kate middleton gets out of the neck for doing something like that, and it's quite right in the present climate with i. you is actually you don't know what is actually genuine anymore and what isn't.

and it is essential that then news organisations put their stuff out as genuine. >> and the bbc is seen by still so many people as gospel. >> yeah. and also bear in mind that the and publicly funded. yeah and but and also really importantly the bbc has a huge audience abroad. yes. and so what we want is if we have a national broadcaster such as the bbc, which is going all over the world, it's got to be truthful, do you still have faith in the bbc that you might have had 4 or 5 years ago? >> i think 5 ago is >> i think 4 or 5 years ago is an interesting because i an interesting point, because i lost it quite swiftly during the covid obviously even covid epidemic. obviously even when they put me up on there and used people to absolutely spout nonsense at me to make me look like so no , i lost it like a lunatic. so no, i lost it then. i mean, let's not forget bev. they have a video online today by another gp that they run early in covid. that run very early in covid. that said, the astrazeneca vaccine is 100% effective at protecting you from catching the virus. that video is still online today as

we speak, and that is materially wrong. and it was wrong then when she said it. yeah, we knew that. >> yeah, it's i obviously share that opinion that i've lost faith in the bbc. i'm quite sad, nigel, about the fact that i've lost faith in the bbc. i used to be one of those people loved be one of those people who loved the bbc. >> well, i haven't lost >> yeah, well, i haven't lost faith i still i still faith in it. i still i still think it delivers. reasonable, impartial news. so i'm quite happy with that. >> this this impartial. >> this this impartial. >> impartial. >> impartial. >> yes. yeah. >> yes. yeah. >> it is even to the point where the, the, the balance of the bbc goes too far. so what tends to happenis goes too far. so what tends to happen is they want to make things so balanced that minority voices get a disproportionate amount of airtime and so slightly skew the debate. that's not balance is it? >> that isn't balance. and i would say the great example for me was when newsnight did a debate about gb news, and there was nobody on there representing this channel. that's not balanced. yeah. >> no that wasn't. and the whole

thing they accepted thing was that they accepted that was a mistake, i think on this , video, they this islamabad, video, they should accept that is a mistake. i don't think that it that we then say the bbc is rubbish because they made a couple of mistakes. >> but why? but why haven't they come and said in hindsight come out and said in hindsight that mistake because come out and said in hindsight that manipulated ecause come out and said in hindsight that manipulatedecalnews, they've manipulated the news, they've manipulated the news, they people who they are manipulating people who are watching it and listening. >> know why they are watching it and listening. >> come know why they are watching it and listening. >> come out;now why they are watching it and listening. >> come out , ow why they are watching it and listening. >> come out , come|y they are watching it and listening. >> come out, come outiey are watching it and listening. >> come out, come out and haven't come out, come out and said because obvious said that because it's obvious what radio. >> $- radio. >> they're waiting to >> i think they're waiting to verify manipulated. verify it's been manipulated. >> is >> what they should do is actually so now. right. actually say so now. right. >> let's about >> well, let's talk about something do not something that the bbc do not have, which is an exclusive interview that interview with donald trump that belongs only to gb news, thanks to nigel farage. you to nigel farage. renee. are you looking to watching this looking forward to watching this interview? could tell interview? what could it tell us that already about that we don't already know about donald ? donald trump? >> that is >> i think that this is absolutely and absolutely amazing and i absolutely amazing and i absolutely with you that absolutely agree with you that no other channel is going to get this interview they this interview because they don't have the access that farage also, farage has. and also, trump knows were to go on knows that if he were to go on the bbc, it would be cut, edited and with questions aimed and spliced with questions aimed in such a way to him look in such a way to make him look like far right lunatic. and i like a far right lunatic. and i

think time had think it's time that we had places where people who had views right of centre. that's lots us, by the way, could lots of us, by the way, could actually express those in a reasonable way . actually express those in a reasonable way. i'm hoping that what we see is him expressing reasonable way. i'm hoping that wiat we see is him expressing reasonable way. i'm hoping that wia reasonable him expressing reasonable way. i'm hoping that wia reasonable wayexpressing reasonable way. i'm hoping that wia reasonable way .(pressing reasonable way. i'm hoping that wia reasonable way. butssing reasonable way. i'm hoping that wia reasonable way. but i ing reasonable way. i'm hoping that wia reasonable way. but i think in a reasonable way. but i think it's fantastic. and do need in a reasonable way. but i think it's fa ableic. and do need in a reasonable way. but i think it's fa able to and do need in a reasonable way. but i think it's fa able to hear do need in a reasonable way. but i think it's fa able to hear every need in a reasonable way. but i think it's fa able to hear every single to be able to hear every single voice, whether it's far left, far right, somewhere in the middle. we need to be able to hear them. no. >> how important is it that >> so how important is it that we trump his we find out from trump what his position is on ukraine? because people might think, oh, ukraine, here if america here we go again. but if america pulls the plug on ukraine, how long does britain carry on? we're committed to £12 billion. >> yes we are. and i think the things like that are essential. he's we're not quite sure his behaviour in the ukraine and he's nasty sort of rumours coming out that putin's quite keen for him to be the next president . but because of that, president. but because of that, that actually not that he might actually not support ukraine in the way america has done in the past. equally, we need to know his position on yeah. very position on nato. yeah. very important. they're they're all unked important. they're they're all linked there now, when he was president he

president last time around, he did make the not unreasonable point that america shouldn't be stumping up all the money. he's right about that. the right about that. yeah. and the other countries should other and other countries should actually pay their fair share. you america you can't just rely on america as the shield for europe. but again, we need to know what does he think fair share is which countries actually doing it. countries are actually doing it. we are heading towards our 2.5. we're not quite sure when we'll get there yet what he wants from other countries, but i think that those kind of things are the really important parts of the really important parts of the interview, because we'll know kind of president he know what kind of president he will you be watching will be. will you be watching it? yeah, yeah . i it? oh you bet. yeah, yeah. i mean, i wouldn't miss trump, but do he is a deranged do you think he is a deranged right lunatic? right wing lunatic? >> thought yeah. >> yes. i thought you did. yeah. >> yes. i thought you did. yeah. >> talk about nigel >> just don't talk about nigel farage that. farage like that. >> balance. >> interests of balance. >> interests of balance. >> . >> i don't. >> i don't. >> so if there was an america, if you were a voter in the american election would american election, would you be voting trump? voting for biden or trump? >> 100. we need we need >> 100. we need some. we need somebody their somebody who's proud of their country , who is prepared to country, who is prepared to stand and say things stand up and say the things that we hear quite we don't want to hear quite often. when him last often. so when i heard him last week the week say, america is the laughing of the world, laughing stock of the world, i

actually thought, as i heard it, you someone strong you know, we need someone strong enough and comfortable in enough and comfortable enough in their stand their own convictions to stand up and say that in the uk are we concerned about his language because this because there is still this ongoing did mean >> what did he mean when he talked don't win, talked about if i don't win, there'll bloodshed. there'll be bloodshed. but i watched is watched the interview. is it fair was talking about fair to say he was talking about if he doesn't win, there'll be bloodshed in car bloodshed in the in the car industry. >> watched i watched >> 100. i watched it, i watched the again. it the entire interview again. it was cut by the press, who want to a far right to paint him as a far right lunatic, suggest he was again lunatic, to suggest he was again suggesting he suggesting an uprising. he wasn't. said he was going to wasn't. he said he was going to protect the car industry. he was going 100% tariffs on going to put 100% tariffs on cars but if biden cars from mexico. but if biden won, there would be a bloodbath. anybody wants to read that anybody who wants to read that as anything but related, isn't it industry? as anything but related, isn't it what ustry? as anything but related, isn't it what renee said. yeah because >> what renee said. yeah because it about trump is it has been about trump is unfortunate words. unfortunate use of words. >> so somebody else would not have used words like that. don't use the word bloodbath that, that you don't mean that that if you don't mean that talks to the people who vote for him, who don't always necessarily they the sesquipedalian. >> if you're a car >> i mean, if you're a car worker, if you're a car worker, you're welcome. >> said it's what they

>> what he said it's what they said that trump's said last time that trump's opponents literally , opponents take him literally, but not seriously, and his supporters him seriously , supporters take him seriously, but not literally. >> you see, i can distinguish between character of the man between the character of the man i think has some flaws. let's be honest. particularly as a honest. and particularly as a woman, the things i've woman, some of the things i've said, make of said, he said, make my sort of skin a little. however, skin bristle a little. however, i distinguish him skin bristle a little. however, i ithatlguish him skin bristle a little. however, i that man] him skin bristle a little. however, i that man and him skin bristle a little. however, i that man and his him skin bristle a little. however, i that man and his viewn skin bristle a little. however, i that man and his view of being that man and his view of the world, his ideology, his is frank, forthright, political take. i'm on board with that, and i think we should be able to have both those opinions. >> yeah, i'm on board with that. and a woman, i feel and as a woman, i feel exactly the about the the same about some of the stuff. everybody who stuff. but i think everybody who lives a normal life, who isn't finding that they've got any money left over at the end of the month, is looking at trump thinking, you know what this man thinks he wants there thinks about me? he wants there to be food on my table. he wants me to my life . and i think me to enjoy my life. and i think we're seeing that across europe. me to enjoy my life. and i think we'ri seeing that across europe. me to enjoy my life. and i think we'ri seeingwe at across europe. me to enjoy my life. and i think we'ri seeingwe will:ross europe. me to enjoy my life. and i think we'ri seeingwe will see. europe. me to enjoy my life. and i think we'ri seeingwe will see that>pe. and i think we will see that across this year. across europe this year. >> know, nigel, i was >> you know, nigel, i was talking to somebody who's plugged democrats the plugged into the democrats the other biden can other day who said biden can

only five hours a day. he's only do five hours a day. he's then he be and then he can be fluent and coherent and articulate five hours a day. look, you can't be present united states for present in the united states for five day. a 24 over five hours a day. it's a 24 over seven an election seven job. and in an election campaign, it's 18 hour days. yeah, really worrying. yeah, this is really worrying. >> i do think that american voters have not got much of a choice at the moment. i have trump on one side and biden on the other. it's a pity that that is actually only candidates is actually the only candidates out there. >> still believe that come >> i still believe that come june will step june orjuly, biden will step aside for health reasons. he'll say that he got more electoral votes than anyone so he can go out with his head high. but out with his head held high. but step aside for whoever they parachute. possibly. well, saw well, we saw no. >> well, we saw well, we saw no. >> yeah. but she's she's not really she that really she said that historically , didn't she barack historically, didn't she barack obama historically, didn't she barack obishe out recently . >> she came out recently. >> she came out recently. >> she came out recently. >> she just a few weeks ago. >> she just a few weeks ago. >> we did see her husband the other yesterday. yesterday other day yesterday. yesterday looking pretty distinguished. didn't he just. >> yeah. yeah. i think one of the headlines was that he did anything in the house anything in the white house leader street. anything in the white house lea but street. anything in the white house lea but what street. anything in the white house lea but what did reet. anything in the white house lea but what did het. anything in the white house lea but what did he achieve anything in the white house lea blhe what did he achieve anything in the white house lea blhe was hat did he achieve anything in the white house lea blhe was int did he achieve anything in the white house lea blhe was in white e achieve anything in the white house lea blhe was in white e achie'not much. >> oh i think that's that's

unfair . lots do lots of war. >> guantanamo bay still going strong . strong. >> yeah. no, i n strong. >> yeah. no, i i think that >> yeah. no, i mean i think that he and just to be fair to he did and just to be fair to trump, he didn't do the horrible things that we thought he might. i mean, in fairness to trump, there were foreign wars . no, there were no foreign wars. no, so kept kind of promise , so he kept that kind of promise, i don't know whether the system actually mitigates against a president going just just getting it completely wrong. and so the system kind of takes over and makes sure the system should mitigate a president who can only do the forjob mitigate a president who can only do the for job five hours a day. well, i mean, hadn't day. well, i mean, i hadn't heard heard that , but yes, heard that heard that, but yes, there's a problem there. i mean, it's , that it's quite clear that, that biden has has trouble with his mental faculties. that is a worry which will get worse for the leader of the free world. we have a doctor here. >> they can only get worse. >> they can only get worse. >> actually of me >> yeah, i actually part of me thinks really to watch. thinks it's really sad to watch. i watching i think we are watching somebody's mental health unravel slowly. it slowly. and it isn't kind and it isn't . so i actually think isn't fair. so i actually think him stepping aside will be the best think it's best thing. i don't think it's the thing trump win, the best thing for trump to win,

but best thing. but it will be the best thing. who would take over though? >> think michelle is up >> well, i think michelle is up there. whether she says she won't do it or not. then there are few other senators don't won't do it or not. then there are gavin her senators don't won't do it or not. then there are gavin newsom:ors don't won't do it or not. then there are gavin newsom iss don't won't do it or not. then there are gavin newsom is in don't won't do it or not. then there are gavin newsom is in the 't think gavin newsom is in the running because are running now because people are moving running now because people are movmessed it up badly. just messed it up so badly. but there some younger you know, there are some younger you know, harris is no no no no no no. >> but i mean, she'd be the most likely first vice president. >> yeah they would she would step up. >> she would step up. >> she would step up. >> and she apparently hopeless as , i mean, we know. >> well, i mean, we don't know. >> well, i mean, we don't know. >> her. >> we never see her. >> we never see her. >> right. and nigel, >> right. renee and nigel, that's it for now. we'll be back in houn that's it for now. we'll be back in hour, double. oh. in the next hour, double. oh. who? oh. >> love this. have you heard of him? the new johnson . him? the new taylor johnson. have you heard of him? >> never of him. >> no, i'd never heard of him. i'd wife . she used i'd heard of his wife. she used to wood, to be sam taylor wood, of course. director and course. tv movie director and photographer. she became sam taylor—johnson. him. taylor—johnson. she married him. she's 24 years older than him. well done. we're going to be talking about the fact that he is very likely to the is very likely to be the new james bond. all that and more after news with after your morning's news with sophia wenzler.

potholes north potholes where i live in north london, because they're always fixing three fixing the same part. three months later, they're back. well, it well, they don't fix it properly. they properly. so true, because they paper talking of that >> well, talking of holes that need fixing, just 3% of dentists believe that the government's dental recovery plan will result in seeing more patients. in them seeing more patients. just again, 3% of just tell you that again, 3% of dentists believe in these new plans. 43% of dentists believe the proposals will lead to them seeing fewer patients. >> this is all part of the government's 200 million plan to bolster nhs dentistry. last month . well, the chief executive month. well, the chief executive of the oral foundation of the oral health foundation is doctor nigel carter. doctor carter, just remind have doctor nigel carter. doctor cargotjust remind have doctor nigel carter. doctor cargot tot remind have doctor nigel carter. doctor cargot to this nind have doctor nigel carter. doctor cargot to this situation have doctor nigel carter. doctor cargot to this situation that ave doctor nigel carter. doctor cargot to this situation that soe we got to this situation that so few people now can get to see an nhs dentist ? nhs dentist? >> it's really a perfect storm andifs >> it's really a perfect storm and it's a multitude of things that have actually caused us to get in this position . we had get in this position. we had a new nhs dental contract back in 2006 that was very widely criticised, including by a health select committee report, so it wasn't liked by patients,

it wasn't liked by dentists. and we then, moved into a phase where we were piloting a new contract, which would have been much more based on, delivery of better outcomes for the patients. so better health outcomes , instead of which the outcomes, instead of which the discussions got highlighted into, hijacked into the fact that there would have to be a, outcome measures output measures as well. so really counting how many fillings dentists were doing, which is an old fashioned model based on the high level of, of disease that existed when the health service first arose, so that was moved towards a new contract, was summarily pulled at the end of 2022. and we've had no real progress since. and that's to, led dentists beginning to drift away from the health service and to the so—called dental deserts . i

so—called dental deserts. i mean, there are areas, particularly rural areas east anglia, suffolk, dorset, where there are just no nhs dentists at all. >> it's some of the plan actually sounds really good. nigel. in in practice, in, in theory, that some dentists would be driven around in vans to treat people living in remote areas who may not necessarily be able to get to a surgery to offer £20,000 per dentist to work in those areas which are underserved, a financial incentive and to be paid more for nhs work. what else should they do? or what could an incoming labour government, perhaps? what could they do ? perhaps? what could they do? >> i think it's very difficult for a government of either complexion, to be honest, because the other point that we've got in there is a severe manpower shortage , and that's manpower shortage, and that's been exacerbated greatly by brexit. we had a lot of eu dentists working in the uk who have gradually drifted away and gone back home, and it's much, less easy for them now to come

into the uk. so we've got a workforce shortage , both with workforce shortage, both with dentists and with, with dental nurses and with hygienists and therapists as well , so there's therapists as well, so there's proposals in the nhs recovery plan for and the nhs workforce plan for and the nhs workforce plan to train new dentists , but plan to train new dentists, but they're not going to be starting that until 2027, which means they're not going to be online and trained until into the 2030s. so there's a real issue now, isn't the real problem of course, it's the old problem that they're having in the nhs with doctors . with doctors. >> dentists can earn a lot more in the private sector , and it's in the private sector, and it's probably and they probably forgive i'm saying it. forgive me if i'm saying it. they to do they perhaps don't have to do quite patients . quite as many patients. >> well, that's the other problem. i think you hit on, something there because of the dentist moves into private practice, they're probably spending more time on their

patients. dentistry is very patients. nhs dentistry is very much a production line, and as a result, they're seeing more patients, less patients, which makes the situation even worse. they're not making huge amounts of money out of the nhs . it's of money out of the nhs. it's just that over the last decade or more, nhs dentistry has been treated as one of the public sector areas that were subject to, very small pay rises. and it's just become dentists are their own self—employed businessmen. they have to pay for all their own equipment, their premises, their staff . their premises, their staff. yeah. and it's become simply impossible for them to do that under the nhs in many cases. >> nigel, the biggest cause of hospitalisation of children in this country is teeth extraction. how do we get back to a place where parents are forcing their kids to clean their teeth? because you do have to force your kids. it's the kind of thing they don't want to

do taking more do where parents are taking more responsibility do where parents are taking more responsibi dental as children's dental hygiene, as well . well. >> that's absolutely case. >> that's absolutely the case. i mean , we have to realise here mean, we have to realise here that we're talking about oral diseases, which are almost entirely preventable. and it is down to that home regime. it's down to that home regime. it's down to that home regime. it's down to how well you clean your teeth, you know, well known. and people recognise that dentists recommend that they clean their teeth for two minutes twice a day , as a nation, we clean our day, as a nation, we clean our teeth for about 43 seconds, we say we would recommend changing a toothbrush every three months. as a nation, we buy 1.13 toothbrushes per year. so there's a huge amount of work to be done there to really get the population looking after their teeth and improving their health outcomes and reducing the strain

on the, health service at the same time. but at the moment, it's very difficult to see where we're going with an instant solution. and yes, there is a little bit of money with this nhs recovery plan, but the 200 million is very small. when you look at the total size of the nhs budget. >> yeah. okay thanks so much. chief executive of the oral health doctor nigel health foundation, doctor nigel carter. i have to say i was very cynical labour's plan to cynical about labour's plan to have teachers help kids clean their realise the their teeth, but you realise the scale of the problem. >> it's only >> maybe it's the only way it was us kids at was drummed into us as kids at school. i brushed teeth at school. i brushed my teeth at least day. i as least three times a day. i do as well. a toothbrush in well. i've got a toothbrush in the and when the office and so when i and after i had my lunch in the office, i pressed my teeth. >> but know and it's >> but you know what? and it's one the one of those one of the it is one of those parenting you have parenting things. you have to have them have zero tolerance on them arguing such arguing with you. and it's such arguing with you. and it's such a into a battle. but you get them into the very young and the habit very, very young and they stay with it. they will stay with it. >> when your >> and you could when your toothbrush battered, you toothbrush was battered, you used new yeah. used to get a new one. yeah. and it always at it was always we always had at least the least one toothbrush in the christmas stocking. >> things that just

>> one of those things that just has off has massively slipped off the parenting kind of list of people a day. i don't quite know why it's your teeth now it's good for your teeth now they tons of sweets, they just eat tons of sweets, which massive problem. which is also a massive problem. okay just moment. be okay just a moment. we'll be discussing to discussing the new favourite to be james bond. it's an actor named aaron taylor—johnson . what named aaron taylor—johnson. what do you mean? you never heard of him? >> no. you didn't. >> no. you didn't. >> you. with britain's newsroom on .

interview with later ? interview with us later? >> well, i look forward to seeing it . seeing it. >> i didn't catch that. >> i didn't catch that. >> i didn't catch that. george sorry. sorry, richard. >> i very much look forward to seeing that interview. >> what significance will it have in america ? obviously it's have in america? obviously it's a big deal here. we've got nigel farage, a very well known face and name in this country, but will it have an impact over in america? >> i don't know , it's >> i don't know, it's a different system here, where the, the royal family in the united kingdom is very important for , leading the country and, for, leading the country and, personality and in many ways. but the political decisions are, almost all made by the parliament and the prime minister. and here, the, cult of personality that donald trump has managed to surround himself with in order to get elected, which is true of just about every president, has some very disturbing qualities to it, and

americans are worried that if donald trump becomes president again, he will become an authoritarian , that the world authoritarian, that the world leaders that he admires , are leaders that he admires, are not, people like the royal family of the united kingdom, but those like, vladimir putin and dictators, he has spoken to often , with a rhetoric, of a often, with a rhetoric, of a dictator about the power of the presidency , and combining that presidency, and combining that with his pending criminal charges , his, a lot of them are charges, his, a lot of them are relating to the fact that he was unwilling to cede power when he lost an election , we are very, lost an election, we are very, very concerned about donald trump . so if we were to trump. so if we were to analogise him to anyone in british history, we might think about oliver cromwell or someone who , sought to, to really use who, sought to, to really use the, republican form of government. to seize power and exercise it in a dictatorial way, and that's not what this

country wants, so before we get to discussing any of the issues, we need to think about the character of the president, and that we have to have a president who is accountable to the constitution and who doesn't think of himself as above the constitution. and above the rule of law. and sadly, what we saw in january of 2021, was quite to the contrary . the contrary. >> what about all the criminal charges that are mounting up against him , richard? i mean, if against him, richard? i mean, if he can deflect those before the presidential election, even if he's then found guilty, is it right? he can absolutely pardon himself, which is something that could never happen in this country. >> well, he could try to pardon himself. i don't think a self pardon would be valid, but if he becomes president of the united states, he will supervise the justice department . and so then justice department. and so then all he needs to do is appeal the federal cases as a, appeal them

to the appellate courts. and then the justice department simply defaults and gives up the case. and so the federal cases , case. and so the federal cases, the federal charges, will almost certainly disappear if donald trump becomes the next president in january, the state charges the state cases. that's a little bit more complex, but we see the situation in georgia spiralling out of control , we hope that out of control, we hope that that case should certainly go to trial , and we that case should certainly go to trial, and we should be focusing on the conduct of donald trump, not the prosecutor , but, that not the prosecutor, but, that case is delayed very much . the case is delayed very much. the new york case may proceed to trial the next month or two, and we'll see what comes out of that. >> it's interesting to hear you talk about the character of a president and how that's important, because from where we're sitting on the other side of the pond, president biden appears to have immense difficulties fulfilling the obugafions difficulties fulfilling the obligations of being a president

satisfactorily . satisfactorily. >> yeah, a lot of americans would like to see a choice between, quite frankly, two younger candidates , that's one younger candidates, that's one of the many concerns here, and, not every american is going to go to the polls. these are their, their favourite choices in either political party, the, system for choosing the nominee of both the democratic and the republican party , certainly republican party, certainly needs some fixing, we saw it in 2016. a lot of republicans opposed donald trump and felt strongly that he should not receive the nomination for president , i receive the nomination for president, i was one of them. i was a republican for 30 years. and, if the republicans had, elected anybody else, i think they would have ended up serving two terms and joe biden wouldn't be there , the democrats have be there, the democrats have problems with their primary process as well. and incumbent president has enormous power over the political apparatus of

his party. and we're seeing with donald trump that even a former president has enormous power over the political apparatus of his party. and that means that challenger's primary challengers are very, very unlikely to succeed in either the democratic party or the republican party , party or the republican party, the people in britain. >> it must be said, i'm sure, all around the world are saying the same thing. how is it in a country the size of the united states, a population of nearly 340 powerful 340 million, the most powerful country world? it's the country in the world? it's the best you can offer trump and biden. it. biden. that's it. >> well, part of the problem is in the primaries , very few in the primaries, very few voters show up, and the voters who show up in the republican primary are extremely loyal to the republican, establishment, which, now is going to be solidly behind donald trump, he was the former president of the united states , the same thing in united states, the same thing in the in the democratic party. we had a very, talented young congressman , dean phillips from

congressman, dean phillips from minnesota run against joe biden, and he received only two and a half or 3% of the vote, in the democratic primaries. and now he has dropped out. what so this is a system that very much needs fixing. i think it's tied to the amount of money that's in politics, and both the democratic and democratic side and the republican , the way republican side, the way campaign finance is handled in this country, you have enormous war chest for both donald trump and joe biden. and now they're going to money against going to use that money against each other in november. >> all right. run >> okay. all right. we've run out time , richard painter, out of time, richard painter, thank you so much for joining us. ethics lawyer during us. a chief ethics lawyer during george w bush's administration. >> a terrible >> it is a terrible choice, isn't it ? isn't it? >> what? both of them. >> what? both of them. >> mean, have >> yeah. i mean, it could have been of variety . been a bit of variety. >> it'sjust been a bit of variety. >> it's just extraordinary. been a bit of variety. >> extraordinary.yrdinary. >> extraordinary. >> extraordinary. >> extraordinary. >> but that's because of the sort of dynastic way that american politics always works . american politics always works. you can't really break through, can you? it is. let us know your thoughts this morning. what would you want to hear from

donald trump tonight? also donald trump tonight? and also still james still to come, the new james bond, aaron taylor—johnson. we believe it's going to be him. it hasn't been 100% confirmed, but believe it's going to be him. it haslooking 100% confirmed, but believe it's going to be him. it haslooking very/o confirmed, but believe it's going to be him. it haslooking very, veryfirmed, but believe it's going to be him. it haslooking very, very likely. but it's looking very, very likely. would he get your vote? this is britain's on .

gb news. >> britain's crumbling roads. we've been talking about them a lot today. they've reached record breaking point . record breaking point. literally. pothole numbers have reached an eight year high. >> so a report has found that just 47% of local road miles were rated as being in a good condition. so joining us now is rick green, who's chairman of the afs. read it for me. asphalt asphalt industry alliance, who carried out the research. asphalt. it's not a word i use very often that i'm afraid. right, rick? what's happened very often that i'm afraid. rigiroads k? what's happened very often that i'm afraid. rigiroads andihat's happened very often that i'm afraid. rigiroads and why; happened very often that i'm afraid. rigiroads and why are ppened very often that i'm afraid. rigiroads and why are they ad very often that i'm afraid. rigiroads and why are they in our roads and why are they in such a state? >> the thank you very much for having me this morning, i think it's a long term serial underinvestment is the answer, this this has been going on now for three decades of underinvestment in local roads

andifs underinvestment in local roads and it's coming to a head. it's just the dreadful state of affairs . and the local roads at affairs. and the local roads at the moment are as bad as they've ever been. >> awful in it. >> awful in it. >> who do? >> who do? >> rick? who do we blame? do we blame the department of transport, of transport, which is in charge of roads normally, or is it down to town halls to fix the roads in their, on their, in their patch, or is it a bit of both ? or is it a bit of both? >> to a certain extent it's a bit of both. happens is the bit of both. what happens is the funding is, provided by dft to the local authorities and then the local authorities and then the local authorities actually spend the money. so depending on who you talk to, you know, there's, there's, there's two parties in this in this game, but i mean, from where i'm coming from, the local authorities are not receiving enough money from central government, to maintain the roads. they've got an obligation to keep them safe. and they quite simply are not receiving enough funding from the dft to do the job effectively. rick

>> can we draw a distinction here between labour run councils and conservative run councils ? and conservative run councils? >> no, i, i and there is no it's just grim everywhere. i mean, i've been talking on some of the local radios this morning and they said, oh, is it worse in they said, oh, is it worse in the the northeast the southwest or the northeast or there or whatever? is there a north—south divide? there's no real outliers that you'd say, oh, look, it's because of that. across the whole of england and wales, this doesn't include scotland, but across the whole of england and wales, the conditions are as bad as they've ever been. >> we heard when the government suspended rick, the northern extension to hs2, that literally billions more was going to be diverted from that work into fixing potholes . well, what's fixing potholes. well, what's happened to that? was that a mirage? because it doesn't. no work appears. extra work appears to done. to be being done. >> well, it the number was £8.3 billion. that's been diverted from hs2 north, but that is to

be spent over the next 11 years. yeah. and mark harper, the transport secretary, suggests that that would be enough to resurface 5000 miles of roads, which sounds great, doesn't it? you know, that's brilliant. fantastic. and to be fair, we'd be, know , even worse be, you know, even worse position but if you position without it. but if you put , 5000 miles put it into context, 5000 miles of roads, the whole network is 200,000 miles. so therefore it's only actually 2.5, and that's over 11 years. so per year it's less than one quarter of percent of the network is going to be resurfaced east. >> so by the time you get to the end of the ten years, you'd have to start again, because you won't other won't because all the other bits you done. you haven't done. >> yeah, you're absolutely >> yeah, yeah. you're absolutely right, andrew. that, that that isindeed right, andrew. that, that that is indeed the case that you know, roads were out. they're not designed to last forever. but you've got to maintain them. otherwise we get into the state where now . where we are now. >> rick, is there a problem with the repair? because

the standards of repair? because anecdotally , i've seen potholes anecdotally, i've seen potholes appean anecdotally, i've seen potholes appear. suddenly there's cones around the roads closed for days, and nobody ever seems to be working there. they fix it and then guess what? two weeks later, hole later, there's another hole in the . later, there's another hole in the i, . later, there's another hole in the i, i, . later, there's another hole in the i, i, i. later, there's another hole in the i, i, i personally, i don't >> i, i, i personally, i don't think so. >> i mean, what happens is the local authorities and the contractors that they employ in order to maintain the roads, have this obligation to keep the road safe. so what happens if a pothole appears often they will do a temporary fix, which is, i think , probably what you've seen think, probably what you've seen there. and then when they can program and organise the road closure and what have you, they'll and do a permanent they'll come and do a permanent fix. permanent fix. now the permanent fix is to these are normally these potholes are normally quite good. in fact often what you'll see is where a pothole has been fixed. actually that's still intact two years later. but the road around it is crumbling . crumbling. >> okay. and what can people do? rick. we've had some of our viewers messaging this morning

to say, if you see a pothole, can't at the council, tell them where it is and they will have an come and fix it. >> it. that's correct. and they >> and that's correct. and they will. it depends how deep it is and where it is in the road and what what type of what it is. but should contact but yeah, they should contact the local authority who have this obligation to come and fix it. >> okay. all right. >> okay. all right. >> well, i mean, the other thing the public could do is, you know, write to their local councillors , write to their councillors, write to their local mps and try and get some, you groundswell of public you know, groundswell of public opinion to say, we've had enough of this. >> well, we've enough it, >> well, we've had enough of it, rick. had to rick. and sadly, we've had to have because have enough of you now because we've but thank have enough of you now because we'\so but thank have enough of you now because we'\so much. but thank have enough of you now because we'\so much. you ut thank have enough of you now because we'\so much. you very ank you so much. thank you very much. of the much. who's the chairman of the asphalt industry alliance? and so more interesting than so much more interesting than i thought with so much more interesting than i tititle it with so much more interesting than i tititle like with so much more interesting than i tititle like that. with a title like that. >> carried out that >> and he carried out that research. of research. almost half of our roads, potholes. yeah. scandalous. >> right. it us. >> right. that is it from us. this morning. up next, good afternoon, britain with tom and emily. you tomorrow. emily. we'll see you tomorrow. >> see you then. >> see you then. >> apollo quizzes for >> the bbc apollo quizzes for a glaring error. it's branded the
