has revealed the princess of wales is enormously touched by the outpouring of support from across the world following her cancer diagnosis. >> the russian president, vladimir putin, has declared a day of mourning following the deaths of about 133. in a moscow terrorist attack. he's also made unsuccessful claims about ukraine's involvement in it. >> claims today that china has been targeting senior politicians at westminster through a string of cyber attacks, as four senior mps are called to an urgent meeting and as landmarks around the world switched off. >> the lights for earth hour , >> the lights for earth hour, we'll be debating whether or not you care about earth hour and what it's about really .

what it's about really. >> and after all the talk of the flag on the back of the neck, england had their collars felt at wembley as a 17 year old scored brazil's late winner. meanwhile, the australian grand prix has just finished. find out who won and who crashed out later hour. later this hour. >> flow looks much >> flow today looks much quieter. weather wise across the uk than on saturday. there'll be more way of sunshine more in the way of sunshine around and lighter winds too. and with those lighter winds it should a bit warmer. i'll should feel a bit warmer. i'll have all details a little have all the details a little bit morning you. >> morning to you. >> morning to you. >> dixon and i'm >> i'm stephen dixon and i'm anne and this is anne diamond and this is breakfast on gb news. >> i have to say, a lot of people got in touch yesterday saying, can you not talk about anything else? and the reality is not much at the minute because as the princess of wales and her health is a huge story, i think. and people also are

saying yesterday was that people saying, well, why are you talking about it? she wants privacy. well, it's not invading privacy. well, it's not invading privacy to discuss it. after she's released it. no, but it's how you do it, i think, which is important . important. >> and, you know, the papers today are full of first person stories from other celebrities , stories from other celebrities, as other writers who've been through the same thing themselves and are just talking about the difficulty is that she may face just in, you know, telling the family and getting through the next few months when everybody is expecting you to get better quickly. and the fact that you probably might not. it's a very slow process. so there's a lot of talk, i'm afraid, about cancer in the papers today. now, you could say that's a bit dispiriting , but it that's a bit dispiriting, but it is part of modern human life now, i think, isn't it cancer , now, i think, isn't it cancer, and perhaps the more we talk about it, the more we'll be able to support each other. yes. >> and i think that's a positive thing. and of course, that's what she wanted. well, it is

what she wanted. well, it is what she wanted. and also so what she wanted. and also so what this has done about what this has done talking about it honest, you pick it and let's be honest, you pick up the phone a relative and up the phone to a relative and have you heard have you heard the news? so everyone's talking about and what it has led to the news? so everyone's talking atajt and what it has led to the news? so everyone's talking ata huge and what it has led to the news? so everyone's talking ata huge outpouring has led to the news? so everyone's talking ata huge outpouring of s led to the news? so everyone's talking ata huge outpouring of support, is a huge outpouring of support, over the last 24 hours. and kensington have said that kensington palace have said that the prince and princess of wales are enormously touched by the kind messages they've received following catherine's diagnosis. >> in fact, the statement from the palace follows the unprecedented video message, which was released on friday evening, where the princess revealed that she was undergoing what she called preventative chemotherapy after tests done following her surgery in january showed that there had been cancer present. >> well, let's talk to former royal butler grant harrold, who joins us this morning. good to see you this morning. i mean, this is a as we've been saying all weekend, it's, an unprecedented move the way we were told about this cancer diagnosis. but the outpouring of support has been remarkable,

hasn't it . it support has been remarkable, hasn't it. it has. good morning and good morning, stephen. absolutely. i mean, it's obviously a big thing for her to actually talk about this. i mean, as you, we all know somebody or we've got loved ones or even ourselves at all, you know, have this disease or similar diseases. know, have this disease or similar diseases . and it's similar diseases. and it's difficult enough talking to loved ones about it. and this is where she's not only having to tell her family, she's telling the country, the world. and it is a big step because the one thing i remember working for them or for her, was it her privacy is everything to her. you know, for both of them it's really important. and they've managed to get a really good balance between the private and the public. i feel, between private and public life. but this is obviously something that would know, this is obviously something that w

the same. this is this is very unusual because historically, royals did not discuss health issues , as we know with the late issues, as we know with the late queen and the late prince philip. this was a no go area. and here we've got a very modern royal family where they're actually openly talking about this, which great because actually openly talking about thisraising great because actually openly talking about thisraising it'sjreat because actually openly talking about thisraising it's not: because actually openly talking about thisraising it's not: isay use it's raising it's not i say raising awareness, it's getting people it. people talking about it. probably hopefully, hopefully getting get getting people to go and get themselves checked . and i think themselves checked. and i think it's important she's it's really important what she's done. about it. and done. speaking about it. and i really admire it. and at the same time, i think, i think everybody i spoke to is very emotional. i tell how emotional. i can't tell you how many come up to me just many people come up to me just almost bursting tears that, almost bursting into tears that, you the of you know, it's not the fact of that, fact that she's that, the fact that she's suffering it because so suffering from it because so many do. the fact that, many millions do. the fact that, you know, got this young you know, she's got this young family, you know, trying family, she's, you know, trying to and, you know, it's to carry on and, you know, it's amazing. absolutely amazing. what way dealt what she's, the way she's dealt with it, i think. >> can i just ask you i mean, obviously, having been a royal butler in royal households, you would know, but very clearly we got impression king got the impression from king charles's that he has

charles's statement that he has received some of these ordinary letters and cards from members of the public and it's really, really impressed upon him. and by the sound of it, catherine and william have as well . so and william have as well. so i mean you as a butler. i mean, how i presume that they get so much post, but somebody would go through it and give them a handful, would they . handful, would they. >> absolutely. i mean, and i remember all too well the, you know, there was an occasion all the bass up at highgrove, all the bass up at highgrove, all the cars and the letters and things that would come in. and when i say there's a lot, there is lot, and it's quite is a lot, and it's quite impossible for them to physically go through every single got an single one. but they've got an amazing they've got amazing team, they've got communications departments, and what they through what they do is they go through them is randomly. they them and it is randomly. they will a selection . sometimes will pick a selection. sometimes there be something one there might be something at one of letters one of those of those letters or one of those cards or something that straight. it draws to them. straight. it draws some to them. you has to be seen. you think that has to be seen. the other is it's very much just it luck the draw, you it is a luck of the draw, you know, they get in, but know, and they get put in, but they get passed on. they do

they do get passed on. they do see them a lot of these letters, they do see and i think it definitely helps. i think anybody that's going anybody again, that's going through getting through something, getting letters and cards and things, it just so much, you know, just means so much, you know, people care. but is this people care. but this is this isn't just i think for us, when we get letters, it's normally from people that we know or loved ones. they'll be, i want to say, hundreds of thousands, if not more letters than cars coming in from across the world or people that you're probably never meet. but yet never even meet. but yet they take the to her take the time to write to her and to her and the and to say, to her and the family, we we're here to support you and you can do this, you and we and you can do this, you and we and you can do this, you know, so thankfully so you know, so many thankfully so many other millions of people as you and through this you know, and get through this and is what's fantastic is and this is what's fantastic is that believe but but that i believe she will. but but these letters definitely these letters will definitely give yeah give her encouragement. yeah it's really positive. >> it's nice to know i think as well for everybody watching at >> it's nice to know i think as wel moment,'body watching at >> it's nice to know i think as wel moment, who' watching at >> it's nice to know i think as wel moment, who' watcthat at the moment, who feels that they would get in touch, it would love to get in touch, it is actually worth writing if you want to. >> yeah. oh absolutely. >> yeah. oh absolutely. >> and i see that to you all the time. don't your letters, >> and i see that to you all the timichances your letters, >> and i see that to you all the timichances the ur letters, >> and i see that to you all the timichances the letter ers, >> and i see that to you all the timichances the letter will

the chances are the letter will be so definitely those be seen. so definitely put those letters in, know, because letters in, you know, because the chances are they will be seen. and does make seen. and it does make a difference. i've seen when they read letters and how, how read letters and i know how, how happy reading some happy they are reading some letters that letters when i was there that they would receive from members of the public, people who don't even know. >> grant, harold, good to >> okay. grant, harold, good to see morning. thank you. see you this morning. thank you. >> you, >> likewise. thank you, thank you. you're watching at the >> and if you're watching at the moment , have ever written to moment, have you ever written to a have you ever heard a a royal? have you ever heard a response ? response? >> i've never written? >> i've never written? >> but, you know, last night >> no. but, you know, last night i thought it would be nice to. >> did you. yeah. did you do one? >> no, i haven't done yet. but i was thinking last night, you know, it will probably never get through. i mean, there's a lovely story in the papers today about the fact that. well, there are actually, the king, are many actually, but the king, obviously, and princess catherine in the london catherine were in the london clinic at same time, and clinic at the same time, and that's where i was treated. funnily . so those funnily enough. so i know those corridors and rooms and corridors and those rooms and everything, apparently , everything, but apparently, what? occasions the what? on several occasions the king just put on his dressing gown and the word was toddle. somebody said he toddled down

the corridor go and have the corridor to go and have lunch catherine. lunch with catherine. >> nice. >> that's nice. >> that's nice. >> that's lovely. >> i think that's lovely. >> i think that's lovely. >> do seem to get. i was >> you do seem to get. i was quite touched that he referred to as his daughter. to it as his beloved daughter. >> yeah, they're very >> yes. yeah, they're very close. look of it. >> thought it was very nice. >> i thought it was very nice. >> i thought it was very nice. >> you've ever written to >> but if you've ever written to a royal, why. who was it a royal, tell us why. who was it you wrote to? and did you get a response in any way? >> yeah, maybe just knowing it was and seeing and is was there and seeing and is enough. these sort things and enough. these sort of things and we let us know gb views at gb enough. these sort of things and we com s know gb views at gb enough. these sort of things and we com and ow gb views at gb enough. these sort of things and we com and nowb views at gb enough. these sort of things and we com and now to liews at gb enough. these sort of things and we com and now to muchat gb enough. these sort of things and we com and now to much more news. com and now to much more serious news at well it's certainly serious news. certainly very serious news. >> that's in russia because >> and that's in russia because a national day of mourning is taking following that taking place following that absolutely brutal and devastating massacre at a concert hall near moscow on friday. and it killed, we know now at least 133 people. >> well, despite the islamist group islamic state claiming responsibility for the attack, president putin has suggested the attackers were helped by ukraine. here's what he said overnight . overnight. >> all the executors , planners

>> all the executors, planners and those who ordered this crime will be rightfully and inevitably punished whoever they are and whoever directed them. >> let me repeat we will identify and punish everyone who stood behind the terrorists who prepared this attack against russia , against our people . russia, against our people. >> well, with us in the studio now, defence editor at the evening standard, robert fox, this is fascinating, isn't it? because islamic state, as it were, have claimed responsibility quite quickly. but president putin clearly thinks or is seizing the opportunity to blame ukraine as well. >> there are two strands. sorry, excuse me in this story now. one is the massacre itself , which is the massacre itself, which was terrible, and the number seems to have gone up to 143 now with hundreds injured, unspecified numbers. they're probably in a number of, of hospitals. but the other is the false flag argument . this hospitals. but the other is the false flag argument. this is a political story now which is

gathering potency, and it is very important esque, as it's called the islamic state khorasan, the parts of afghanistan whence it comes, where it is fighting the taliban, which you believe in, has form. it's done a lot of things, but but also putin. russia has form with false flag arguments and a lot of the russians in exile. the experts have been going through quite a lot of their comments. just this morning , again, are pointing to morning, again, are pointing to the precedent of false flag arguments. and there was one spectacular 1 in 1999 where, spectacular1 in 1999 where, apartment blocks were blown up in moscow as putin himself was moving. follow me from being prime minister to president for the first time. he's just been re—elected for the fifth time to the headship of government and state. he did briefly become prime minister in between. at

that time , he launched the that time, he launched the second terrible chechen war. so this was fingered very clearly. it's very interesting for us here in britain and us here in london by alexander litvinenko , london by alexander litvinenko, who was then killed three years later. so this what i'm saying is that putin's argument, which you illustrated here, shows the psychological campaign he is going through now . what he's going through now. what he's saying to people in russia, in moscow in particular, is i'm still in charge. i'm a big boss. the enemies are all around. my war is right, and it's not the war is right, and it's not the war where he is in trouble. by the way, on the caucasus borders of russia with islamic fundamentally who have attacked in russia and in iran, the new russian ally . and you can see russian ally. and you can see how complex it's going. i'm afraid, in the psychological war. we're just at the beginning

of it. >> is this a sense then, that that it's better for him, from his perspective to say we effectively have one enemy. this is being either driven, orchestrated or supported by ukraine. rather than saying, i'm being attacked from multiple sides. >> he wouldn't say that. you're absolutely right, stephen. what he is saying your security is safe in my hands. except that why didn't the gru, the fsb, the secret services, react sooner? even the emergency services took nearly two hours to arrive in strength at at the scene. but his message is, i'm the boss. i'm going to make it work for me. i was just watching his body language. it was rather different from the pantomime coup you may remember of prigozhin and the wagner group, where he did look for a moment, genuinely panicked. he didn't look panicked, and one looked as if the old pantomime tsar. i'm

the. i'm the. i'm the, i'm the boss man. i'm the monarch in charge. this was being played at this time. declaration of national mourning . and this will national mourning. and this will be this will be milked. it goes out on state tv. most will believe it. yeah, but what i don't quite get is that if you hypothesise that it could have been a false flag operation, who who instigated it? >> whose fault was it ? who instigated it? >> whose fault was it? islamic state or islamic state? encouraged by the russian government, would ukraine have had anything to do with it? didn't even western intelligence warn them that something was about to happen? >> i don't want to be weasely, but i do have a thoroughly weasely mind because that's why i look into these things. i think bit both. i think it was a bit of both. i think it was a bit of both. i think they that something think they knew that something was on. let's use it. was was going on. let's use it. possibly. i'm saying that's possibly. i'm not saying that's for sure, because i'd you lose use. absolutely the right word. i don't say on gb news polly middlehurst, but the right word. this is hypothesising . yes,

this is hypothesising. yes, something was going on because it's so peculiar . the americans it's so peculiar. the americans knew that i ecil are islamic state was up to something . and state was up to something. and by the way, they did a big bomb in iran . you may remember at the in iran. you may remember at the beginning of the year in january , which took everybody by surprise . that came out on the surprise. that came out on the 9th of march only three days ago , that was responded to by moscow by the kremlin, by by putin land in saying, oh, that was panic. and subversion being caused by the americans. so what really was going on? i'm afraid to say it's not. time will tell. we may never really know unless there is a litvinenko who says this is how the wheels of deliberation. but it is very dark. a lot of this very machiavellian. can i point out a thing that nobody has pointed out in this? no suicide

attackers? >> no. they've caught them all and they're alive. yeah >> and part of the mo, the way they operated with, as we all know, the extreme ends of is, is that it's absolutely this is how i go to paradise, you know, that i go to paradise, you know, that i become a martyr and i do that. so there is something i think we're right in concluding that very strange about this. and we're not getting the full picture. >> okay , robert, for now, >> okay, robert, for now, unbelievably brutal incident and for the gunman to all have survived. >> apparently he, is extraordinary and very unusual, well, as robert, it's one of those.i well, as robert, it's one of those. i think robert's right. we'll probably never know exactly what's gone on with that one. but, robert, thanks very much indeed. let's have a look at some of the other stories heading into the newsroom at 616. >> well, the united nations chief, antonio guterres, has renewed calls for an immediate ceasefire in gaza as he visited the egyptian side of the rafah

crossing. mr guterres called on israel to give total unfettered access to humanitarian goods throughout gaza. earlier this week, a un backed food security assessment this week said that 1.1 million people in gaza were struggling with catastrophic hunger and starvation . hunger and starvation. >> ukraine's working to restore power supplies after the biggest russian attack on its power grid. it killed at least five people and put europe's biggest nuclear station at risk. president zelenskyy is calling for urgent international assistance, saying that russian terrorism is only possible because ukraine lacks modern air defence systems . defence systems. >> and the knife crime campaigner richard taylor has died at the age of 75 after a long battle with cancer. his ten year old son damilola, was killed in 2000, in what became one of britain's highest profile crimes, and the loss led richard and his late wife gloria to set

up a trust aimed at supporting disadvantaged young people. he said his son's death was the result of enormous problems in society, but he wanted his legacy to be one of . legacy to be one of. hope. >> for all the talk of the dark arts with robert wasn't enough for you. espionage fears have now taken over westminster, as a small group of mps have been summoned over fears of a new wave of state backed interference. >> the deputy prime minister, oliver dowden, is expected to tell parliament tomorrow that beijing is behind a string of recent cyber attacks on mps and peers. >> well, among those being summoned, but don't know if they've been the targets of this or not. sir ian duncan smith, a former tory minister. tim loughton, crossbencher peer lord alton and snp mp stewart mcdonald . mcdonald. >> it's extraordinary, isn't it?

joining us now, political commentator peter spencer. morning, peter. i mean, this just gets weirder and weirder, doesn't it? what's going on? do you know, do you know , well, you know, do you know, well, this story most certainly does segue very neatly to the interview you've just done with my old chum bob fox , because of my old chum bob fox, because of the fact that the chinese are pretty cosy with the russians who are, let's face it now, a panah who are, let's face it now, a pariah state with a capital p. now, the head of m15. not last yeah now, the head of m15. not last year. i think it was said. look, the chinese communist party poses as a game changing threat to britain. and when we talk about cyber attacks, most certainly you're right. and it's invisible. it's invisible. and invidious. and it's okay to i

mean, well, it's actually it's not okay. it's bad enough when someone slings a brick through through the window of an mps office, but a cyber attack is something you can't get a handle on at all. and remember that that it's very, very powerful technology. it can be used to bnng technology. it can be used to bring down aeroplanes or close down banks. and so the suggestion that we have now is that there is going to be a briefing for mps tomorrow. and indeed there is also the suggestion that the foreign secretary, lord cameron, will hold a meeting, a private meeting with the backbench tory mps committee. the 1922 committee. and it's all a bit awkward for him in lots of ways because when he was prime minister, he said, look, we have a golden era of relations with beijing. well, i have to say he has to concede very, very fulsomely that that golden era is well and truly over. >> and what do we know about these for being summoned to a meeting? they likely to have

meeting? are they likely to have been victims of or been apparent victims of this or or what? why these for ? particular >> well, they're described as china hawks . by that they mean china hawks. by that they mean by by that is meant that they are people who have been particularly outspoken in warning of the strategic risks posed by the chinese. and so, therefore, the suggestion is and of course, this is this is an exclusive in the sunday times. it hasn't been possible as yet to verify this story, but the suggestion is that they have been targeted by the chinese security services and therefore they are at risk and therefore they are at risk and therefore they need to be told p.d.q to up their own personal security . their own personal security. >> and this isn't the first time we've heard about cyber security , particularly in relation to china hacks. what are we doing giving foreign aid to china? still >> that's a very good question.

and i mean, i mean, of course, i mean, because the chinese do represent a fifth of the world population and we do have to cooperate them with with them in all manner of ways, like, for example , fighting climate example, fighting climate change. and therefore we can't simply say, right, we don't talk to you anymore. you smell, you're stinky, you can't come to my party. you have to have deaungs my party. you have to have dealings with them. but, how far you take this as i say, i come back to it. david cameron as prime minister, said, look, we want to cosy up to them, and there is now a recognition we need to keep them. you know, if you're going to sup with the devil, do it with a very devil, you do it with a very long spoon, but you still get us up with it. long spoon, but you still get us up oh, it. long spoon, but you still get us up oh, okay. peter thanks very >> oh, okay. peter thanks very much indeed. i tell you, i find very extraordinary. but all of this roundabouts, this swings and roundabouts, i've before, i'm currently i've said before, i'm currently rereading the tom rereading all of the tom clancy's. oh, yes, i all clancy's. oh, yes, i love all the tom. it's all espionage . the tom. it's all espionage. yeah, this could be a tom clancy plot . and it's honestly because plot. and it's honestly because i go to bed listening to it all. an audiobook, actually, i'm

starting to confuse reality with fiction because it's so similar. well, you get the feeling that if you wrote the news at the moment as a fiction novel, people wouldn't believe it. >> they'd say, you're taking it too far. yeah. and the sheer fact that we still give foreign aid to china, apparently, the amount give falling amount we give is falling rapidly. but in 2021 to 22, we gave them 48 million. yeah, well , which i know is, is, i mean, in world terms, it's not a huge amount, that's down from 82 million the year before, and apparently it is still declining . but i think a lot of people would be shocked to find that we're giving china any sort of foreign aid. >> well, it's a whole it raises the foreign aid question, doesn't it? and if we are still going to give foreign aid, and personally, think we should personally, i think we should where really needed. but where it's really needed. but you've target it more you've got to target it more carefully. can't be giving carefully. you can't be giving foreign we can't foreign aid to china. we can't be foreign aid india. be giving foreign aid to india. >> we need to be giving it to

both countries of which have their space program, for their own space program, for instance. need to be targeting >> so we need to be targeting that foreign aid at places that really need it. and then hopefully result, and maybe really need it. and then hop giving result, and maybe really need it. and then hop giving foreign ult, and maybe really need it. and then hop giving foreign aid and maybe really need it. and then hop giving foreign aid to d maybe not giving foreign aid to countries that are targeting us in different well, in different ways. well, i suppose you're not giving it to the government, are you? >> you're giving it you're funding a particular educational scholarships like scholarships and things like that. apparently yeah. >> not you're not just >> not just you're not just giving to the politburo . giving it to the politburo. >> hopes not. no. i >> well, one hopes not. no. i mean, nearly anything is possible nowadays. >> all right, let's get a check on the weather for you this morning with marco petagna. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar for sponsors of weather on gb news. >> hello. here's your latest weather update from the met office for gb news. sunday promises to be a much quieter day weather wise across the uk than on saturday. drier, brighter and less blustery two. there are still 1 or 2 showers

those close to her with the courage and dignity she displayed. the sun on sunday leads with princess catherine again having a heart to heart with the king at windsor castle. hours before she announced her cancer diagnosis. >> it'll bring the two even closer together. i should think, won't it? and the only paper not leading with the princess of wales is the observer, which has french police funded by the uk government endangering the lives of vulnerable migrants by using deadly tactics to intercept small boats in the channel >> well, joining us to go through what's making the news is deputy editor at spiked, fraser myers, an editor at large at times money mentor georgie frost. lovely to see you both . frost. lovely to see you both. good morning. and of course it is catherine again. and if we look fraser at the sunday times front page, this is the fact that we now hear that she wrote every word of what she said. yes. >> so this is coming from, kate's , personal friends. i kate's, personal friends. i think what's interesting, not just that she wrote every word,

but that she felt it was important to do a video message, she said she thought that a written message would be to jarring. just putting out, you know, a statement that might not, doesn't resonate. the same wouldn't resonate in the same way. and i think also, you know, the palace really did need to draw a line under this issue, given the intense weeks and months of speculation about her health and about various other aspects of her her life. unfortunately so, yeah, this, and it does, you know, it does come across as very personable. it does come across , you know, it does come across, you know, she is someone known for her having great dignity and poise. and you can see that well and you can see that very well in this video. >> yeah. and georgie in the sunday page , they sunday express front page, they go for the fact that she has been by our reaction. been so touched by our reaction. >> yes. and i can imagine. so i just back to the story that she chose to do this herself, i think is really interesting because it is the palace press office or whoever's her advisers

, whoever has been very heavily criticised over the last few months for the way that it feels like kate has almost had to come out and say something that's deeply personal. my mum , my deeply personal. my mum, my mother got cancer when i was in the in my teens and i will never forget of seeing her forget that moment of seeing her face and seeing that fear and fear in myself and understanding that. so it's it is incredibly difficult time for a young woman, a young mother of three young children, to go through this and then to go through this so publicly. so, you know , i so publicly. so, you know, i wish her best. all the best. what else can we say? >> it's a slight difference . i'm >> it's a slight difference. i'm not trying to diminish what she's going through in any way, shape form , but by doing this shape or form, but by doing this video, mean, you just know video, i mean, you just know that the support of the nation is going to be behind you . is going to be behind you. >> absolutely. and look, i mean, i don't know if she felt she had to do this to stop all of the salacious gossip online and all that sort of thing. and if she did feel that way, then i think that's awful that she felt that

way. but i also feel this kind of every body now turning on other people who are speculating the media are terrible. i'd suggest a lot of what we've seen over the last few months really isn't coming from our media. it's coming from outside. every time i go abroad and i speak to colleagues abroad, they always say to me, oh, you heard the latest. like, no, we say to me, oh, you heard the latestknow like, no, we say to me, oh, you heard the latestknow anything. 10, we say to me, oh, you heard the latestknow anything. no, ve say to me, oh, you heard the latestknow anything. no, but we say to me, oh, you heard the lateactuallyanything. no, but we say to me, oh, you heard the lateactually quite.|g. no, but we are actually quite. >> it's not our some of it is papers and things. lot of it's papers and things. a lot of it's social media. yeah. >> exactly. which comes from a lot of exactly social media. and so there's a lot not a lot of what do . i think the british what we do. i think the british media are media in this regard are normally quite , quite respectful normally quite, quite respectful of that. >> think unfortunate that >> i think it's unfortunate that nowadays we've sort of lost the value of privacy. you know , value of privacy. you know, because we have laws against privacy, that doesn't privacy, but that doesn't seem to anything in this, to have done anything in this, in instance, we seem in this instance, we seem to think people aren't think that if people aren't telling us everything, you know, they're hiding something. so, you know, rather than saying there are healthy reasons why someone wouldn't want to reveal very, details very, very intimate details

about illnesses, we think about their illnesses, we think there must be something sinister, secretive. sinister, something secretive. and, you know, so i think maybe we use this as an we should use this as an opportunity to rediscover the value of privacy. having a private life , letting people private life, letting people have own private have their own private space. >> i don't know, the whole >> yes, i don't know, the whole thing just just drives me mad. >> i was just driven by one. i don't know what paper it was in. oh, and oh, here we go. and one particular columnist i'm not going , but very left going to name, but very left wing and known for it. and he's he's apologised on twitter but said as someone who speculated on this without considering it could be a serious health condition, i'm very ashamed about what he posted, but without considering it could be a serious health condition. we were told it was a serious yeah, this is exactly right. >> i don't understand this. >> i mean, major abdominal surgery and she needs time, health condition. >> needs time to we >> she needs time to rest. we have absolutely no right. absolutely right to know her absolutely no right to know her medical issues. no, they've absolutely been clear about this where i think sort of the cracks

have been allowed to come in is a little bit of information here, a bit of here, a little bit of information there, sort of, you know, going to be know, if you're going to be sticking queen's attitude sticking to the queen's attitude of complain, never of never complain, never explain, really explain, then you should really stick to that. so i think that allowed some creeps to come in. but yeah. yeah. wish her well. >> worth worth stressing >> it's worth worth stressing that , you know, as >> it's worth worth stressing that, you know, as you said, we knew a serious illness knew this was a serious illness and she wouldn't be and we knew that she wouldn't be back, quite quite back, for quite a long, quite a long after easter. long time until after easter. it's not easter yet. i don't know thought , why know what people thought, why they needed to be a gap to fill. it was. it was. >> thing suppose being >> the thing is, i suppose being nasty, profile. nasty, she is so high profile. >> she's she's one one of the >> she's she's one of one of the most not the most most popular, if not the most popular member of the royal family then family at the moment. and then the king as well, being ill with the king as well, being ill with the same thing. you were looking at the sun sunday front page, at the sun on sunday front page, which fact that which is about the fact that they had a very emotional lunch, a heart at windsor a heart to heart at windsor castle before she did this. >> so this was on thursday. she actually recorded the announcement wednesday, actually recorded the annymetement wednesday, actually recorded the annymet the nt wednesday, actually recorded the annymet the king wednesday, actually recorded the annymet the king forednesday, actually recorded the annymet the king for a1esday, actually recorded the annymet the king for a lunch , actually recorded the annymet the king for a lunch on she met the king for a lunch on thursday. and then we had the announcement on, on, on friday,

there's also some really interesting stories coming out from the other papers suggesting that , you know, they were in that, you know, they were in hospital at the same time. and so charles would come in his nightie and kc in his in his dressing gown, a hospital dressing gown, a hospital dressing gown, a hospital dressing gown, and visit her at, he toddled down the corridor, toddled down the corridor. >> for some reason, they used the word toddle. >> i'll tell you what it won't have been a hospital dressing gown. >> it'll have been one brought in, tell you that. >> it'll have been one brought in, yes.ell you that. >> it'll have been one brought in, yes. slightly hat. >> it'll have been one brought in, yes. slightly higher . >> yes. slightly higher. >> yes. slightly higher. >> as we. we all this a lot. >> as we. we get all this a lot. it's all driven by the it's not all been driven by the harry and meghan thing, but that's idea that's exacerbated this idea that's exacerbated this idea that dysfunctional that it's a very dysfunctional family it's very odd and family and it's all very odd and all it . this is this all sort of it. this is this just the fact i just promotes the fact that, i mean , they clearly have a very mean, they clearly have a very good, loving relationship good, close, loving relationship which which is fantastic. >> it is. i mean, united in, in their health issues, but they've always had a very close bond. and the stories like this are sort of where we would like to go. i think with now, rather than all this , as i said, than all this, as i said, salacious gossip that we don't

want to talk about. you know, let's just focus on kate having some time and recovering and toddling down corridors for two incredibly important people who need to heal , incredibly important people who need to heal, and you can't speed up healing. it takes its time, doesn't it? definitely. and they're probably going for all sorts of other medicines and treatments everything treatments and everything as well, on the well, and focusing on the children, i would also say, is this time of, you know, this is where privacy really needs where the privacy really needs to know, is to come in is, you know, this is three are three children that are processing something can three children that are pro and i think hopefully that opens the debate for how we do talk to children and support children who are going through this well . this sort of thing as well. >> but the positive thing with this is the children are this is that the children are still young, so they still very young, so they won't understand of understand all the notions of this, will they? they'll just know, mummy, they can be shielded from a lot of it. >> think which which >> i think which is, which i think good thing. think is a very good thing. >> the way, >> keep them out of the way, lovely. fraser. thank lovely. fraser. georgie. thank you we'll see you very much indeed. we'll see you very much indeed. we'll see you a little bit later on, in the meantime, should we see just how cold and miserable it is?

preventative chemotherapy after tests done after her surgery showed that cancer had been present . present. >> well, let's talk to royal writer and photographer ian lloyd , who joins us now. morning lloyd, who joins us now. morning to you, ian. i mean, it, i guess i guess it isn't a huge surprise in a sense that actually this has to led this huge support for catherine and william as well. >> that's right. and now we know the, the story, so to speak, the back story, because there was all that odd thing about, you know, is she really ill? how ill is she, what's the situation? where was william ? at the where was william? at the service for king constantine and things like that. a lot of sort of and things like that. a lot of sort of there and things like that. a lot of sort of there was and things like that. a lot of sort of there was lot and then there was a lot of nastiness , wasn't there? so, i nastiness, wasn't there? so, i think helped that think that's, that's helped that and made certain people feel quite think . quite guilty. i think. >> yes. i mean, and it's lovely that, that we've been hearing all morning that these, letters and cards actually do get through to people as big deal.

and important as the king and as the princess. and that they read as many of them as they can and write back , which, we've found write back, which, we've found this morning to be really encouraging . encouraging. >> yeah. i mean, i think the, the, even the late queen are used to open a percentage that , used to open a percentage that, that had been sent to her because she said she, she likes to know what people are thinking. and she said sometimes that people say that, the buck stops here with her, you know, that she she would have letters saying, i've tried everybody else and i don't know where to go to. so i'm sending it to you. the thing about sending the one good thing about sending a the royal a letter to the, the royal family if you've got family is if you've got a particular problem, that particular problem, is that quite they send them on to quite often they send them on to the right, the relevant secretary of state so it could be health, or it could be transport whatever. and transport or whatever. and therefore it gets actioned. if you've saying, you you've got a letter saying, you know, queen sent this, what know, the queen sent this, what are you going about it? or are you going to do about it? or the and they do the king sent it and they do reply is good. reply camilla is very good. i mean lot. a lot of mean a lot. i know a lot of people have handwritten

people have had handwritten notes thanking them notes from camilla thanking them and i think it does make a great deal of difference to them because . they're because they don't. they're surrounded say, surrounded by people who say, you thing. you know the right thing. and yes , you've done a really good yes, you've done a really good job, never until job, but you never know until you letter from somebody you get a letter from somebody who a who it's directly affected a member public. so it's member of the public. so it's very, very important for them. >> yeah. and it's one of those things, isn't it? we look up to the royal family, but they need us, don't they ? as much as we us, don't they? as much as we need them. they need our support to be able to continue. and i think it's nice that not only when they get that, but that they appreciate that . they appreciate that. >> yeah. and the other thing is that, i mean, i've seen 1 or 2 negative things in the last day or put things on or two. i've put things on twitter, you know, twitter, stroke x and, you know, some well, all some people say, well, it's all right for them. they've had a lot of, know, privilege and lot of, you know, privilege and so there i always argue so on. but there i always argue that theirs is the public that theirs is in the public eye. isn't. i mean, you can eye. ours isn't. i mean, you can withdraw and you can. mean, withdraw and you can. i mean, people face all kinds of serious illness and bereavement in different ways. and you want to,

you know, some people run away from it. some people, cope in a stoic way. other people get very emotional. and you want to do that privately. you want to be able to, you know, take the dog for a walk in windsor park without being harassed and photographed and so on. so i think theirs is a very challenging, think theirs is a very challenging , situation. and it's challenging, situation. and it's not always easy. and also particularly for prince william, a lot of people focus on catherine at the moment. but, you know, he lost his mum at 36 and, and could potentially have lost his wife at 42, you know. and the king's ill and he's lost his parents, grandparents in the last couple of years . so he's last couple of years. so he's under a lot of pressure as well. and once and and i was a carer once and holding together a carer holding it together as a carer is it's is actually it's very challenging because you've got to the show on the road, challenging because you've got to you? how on the road, challenging because you've got to you? you've the road, challenging because you've got to you? you've got road, challenging because you've got to you? you've got to ad, haven't you? you've got to kind of look after the children and, be the family . and be the face of the family. and that's not always easy. >> no, because at some point it'll hit him, as you were saying yesterday. it will. ian, thanks indeed . thanks very much indeed. >> what has struck me through a lot this . i know it's an old

lot of this. i know it's an old phrase, but the idea of it being a gilded cage, actually, because you can't. i mean, nobody else, we wouldn't be put in this position of having to make announcements and videos and all the rest when we weren't the rest of it when we weren't well , it is a the rest of it when we weren't well, it is a gilded cage. it's how you handle it. >> think there are many >> i don't think there are many of who would roles of us who would swap roles with them. when think about it. >> not when you think about it. >> not when you think about it. >> all of these >> not with all of these stresses stresses such a, a stresses and stresses such a, a terrible thing. actually, i think beginning to think we're beginning to understand how appalling stress can and they're under it all can be. and they're under it all the time, actually, by the look of it. >> but also when we can't do anything right, we're talking about retirements . about our retirements. >> they don't get one. >> they don't get one. >> actually do they? >> no, actually do they? >> no, actually do they? >> i mean, look at her majesty, queen elizabeth. >> all that used to be >> all that talk used to be about prince charles was about how prince charles was just waiting basically, just waiting. waiting basically, for his mother to die so that he could fulfil his role in the world. and very clearly, we all saw how terribly, terribly affected he was by his mother's death. and you could just see, i mean, he he really did feel it

as you would. why did we expect anything else? >> i don't know, because we don't perceive them as quite human in a way which is terribly wrong of us, actually. >> we keep your thoughts >> and we keep your thoughts coming through this one, particularly if you've been in touch, have a touch, if you have written to a royal, i'd love to hear your royal, and i'd love to hear your story about why you wrote to them, you them, really, and whether you heard back clearly, them, really, and whether you hear

going on? >> well, i think, you know, we like to think of spying as sort of james bond with a, you know, a dry martini. but actually, you know, that spy craft is not like that now. and people like iain duncan smith have been, you know, vocal in concerns know, really, vocal in concerns over china and their espionage tactics. and you only need to look at, for example, what's going on, america, where they're trying to ban tiktok because they tiktok like they said that tiktok is like having 100 spy balloons having 100 million spy balloons on the us. so this on phones across the us. so this this front of espionage is very much, you know, it's been going on for a while now. and some would that people the would say that people in the west perhaps too slow west are perhaps a bit too slow to but remember, to pick up on it. but remember, there general election there is a general election coming and i guess coming this year, and i guess there that this could coming this year, and i guess the something that this could coming this year, and i guess the something thatt this could coming this year, and i guess the something that might ould coming this year, and i guess the something that might oul and be something that might try and interfere that . interfere with that. >> it is astonishing, isn't it? i it's stuff of spy i mean, it's the stuff of spy novels, but it's actually happening. i suppose we shouldn't be that shocked, really. it's bound to happen. i just what these mps and just wonder what these mps and peers are going to think when they're confronted with it, because very clearly, they individually have been targeted

individually have been targeted in . in some way. >> i mean, it probably won't be surprised. these guys are pretty on the ball. the mps that are and the house of and a member of the house of lords summoned , lords that are, being summoned, you know, they reason why you know, they the reason why they're speaking out against china precisely because of china is precisely because of this. and, you like this. and, you know, like you said, something that's said, this is something that's which shouldn't surprised which we shouldn't be surprised about october, i think it was about in october, i think it was 2023. there was a sort of unprecedented meeting of the head of the five eyes, group of spy chiefs , including the head spy chiefs, including the head of mi5, spy chiefs, including the head of m15, who said that 20,000 of the m15, who said that 20,000 people in the uk had been approached covertly online by, you know, people from china trying to get them to do a little bit of spying for them, i think it shows now that, you know, it no longer needs be know, it no longer needs to be sort meeting in speakeasy sort of meeting in speakeasy bars. it can be someone in china reaching out to someone over, you know, an interconnection to someone . and people someone in the uk. and people could recruited without could be recruited without perhaps even realising, you know, this bit of know, download this bit of software. can you send link software. can you send us a link to kind of stuff. to this? all that kind of stuff. so is very different, but so it is very different, but it's kind basic it's that's the kind of basic level , but it's the level, but it's the more aggressive where actually aggressive stuff where actually

they're lawmakers and they're targeting lawmakers and policy chiefs. and that's why you've governments across you've seen governments across the world the uk, canada, new zealand, the eu who banned members of their administrations , or having ticked off on their phones, for example, over fears that this is being used, to assist with beijing's spying activities, let's be realistic , activities, let's be realistic, though, as as disturbing as it may be, where doing it to them, aren't we? >> well, of course , i'm sure no >> well, of course, i'm sure no one in m15 or mi6 will say that, but. yeah, exactly. you know what this is? this is the new cold this this cold war, right, this is this is the that it is so i'm the way that it is now. so i'm sure what we're doing , you sure that what we're doing, you know, what they're doing to us, we trying to to we are trying to do to them because a is a basic because it is a it is a basic it's a tech arms race now isn't it? to with it? it used to be done with nuclear weapons. we nuclear weapons. of course we still but it's still have that. but now it's very with tech. it's very much to do with tech. it's very much to do with tech. it's very much to do with tech. it's very much do with how can very much to do with how you can infiltrate other behind infiltrate the other side behind enemy technology , enemy lines, using technology, and politicians have to be aware of that. and that's why, like i said, a lot of governments have banned tiktok from their

employees phones because they realise that that know, realise that that is, you know, a spy balloon, right a little spy balloon, right there phone. there on the phone. >> more for >> oh, one more thing for politicians to worry about, isn't it? or to think of first. amazing own. >> thanks very much indeed. good to see you this morning . it >> thanks very much indeed. good to see you this morning. it is things like that. i mean, you know what? what is being embedded in your phone? do you if have some of these if you have some of these programs on whether your phones are listening to you and for most of us it doesn't matter actually. >> yeah. but for most of us it's just as harmless as as well, although i it irritating although i find it irritating when a cookie comes up on your computer you computer just because you expressed interest in something once, followed. once, suddenly you get followed. you get followed all the time on it, don't you? >> do you ever that thing >> do you ever do that thing with google you sort of with google where you sort of think, said, oh, think, oh, someone said, oh, let's cafe or let's meet up at this cafe or something, and you google it because live london, because i don't live in london, so if you google see where so if you google it, see where it london, and it'll say, it is in london, and it'll say, oh, here in two oh, you visited here in two thousand seven. oh, you visited here in two tho oh nd seven. oh, you visited here in two tho oh gosh. seven. >> oh gosh. >> oh gosh. >> whatever. yeah just all that. >> and you think that's spooky and that's something we accept. >> so. oh, we totally accept

that. >> that's just part of the software isn't it? >> you can only imagine >> so you can only imagine it must million worse. must be a million times worse. >> somebody's to >> yeah. if somebody's out to get oh, that i'm get you. yeah. oh, not that i'm paranoid anything . paranoid or anything. >> no no no, no, don't worry about it too much. >> get knickers in >> don't get your knickers in the work. it's not the twist at work. it's not worth not worth it. and worth it. it's not worth it. and 717. look at some worth it. it's not worth it. and 717the look at some worth it. it's not worth it. and 717the other look at some worth it. it's not worth it. and 717the other storiesyk at some worth it. it's not worth it. and 717the other stories coming ne worth it. it's not worth it. and 717the other stories coming into of the other stories coming into the the chief, the newsroom. and the un chief, antonio renewed antonio guterres, has renewed calls for an immediate ceasefire in gaza, as he went to the egyptian side of the rafah crossing. he called on israel to give total unfettered access to humanitarian , humanitarian goods humanitarian, humanitarian goods throughout gaza. earlier this week, a un backed food security assessment said 1.1 million people in gaza were struggling with catastrophic hunger and starvation . starvation. >> ukraine is working to restore power supplies after the biggest russian attack on its power grid. the attack killed at least five people and put europe's biggest nuclear station at risk. president zelenskyy is calling for urgent international

assistance, saying that russian terrorism is only possible because ukraine lacks modern air defence systems. >> the naive campaigner richard taylor has died at 75 after a long battle with cancer. his ten year old son damilola, was killed way back in 2000. hard to believe it's that long ago , in believe it's that long ago, in what became one of britain's highest profile crimes , the loss highest profile crimes, the loss led richard and his late wife gloria to set up a trust aimed at supporting disadvantaged young people . he said his son's young people. he said his son's death was the result of enormous problems in society, but he wanted his legacy to be one of . hope. >> and that's very sad because it's like the end of an era . it's like the end of an era. >> both, both of them, with all three of them, all three of them are dead now. >> yeah, but they did a lot of good, a lot of amazingly

it watching out, but big landmarks across landmarks right across the country and across the world switched their lights off for an hour last night for earth hour. >> yeah, not just the big landmarks , actually. landmarks, actually. >> we were all meant to do it. sit there in dark with the eiffel tower going dark. there you go. the year. you go. it's the 16th year. it's happened just to be in darkness. >> it's difficult to tell where it is when it's in dark. one is, isn't it? >> there you go. and. oh, that's is that the burj khalifa or something like that's all something like that? that's all that . that sort of thing. >> but anyway, they're all >> but anyway, when they're all turning out. turning their lights out. >> oh, there you go. >> oh, there you go. >> it any impact or is >> does it make any impact or is it signalling? it virtue signalling? >> well, joining us now, the leader of the climate party, ed gemmell and donna mccarthy , gemmell and donna mccarthy, director of climate media coalition . donna, you're coalition. donna, you're probably the first, person we should go to explain to us what earth hour is meant to be doing . earth hour is meant to be doing. what's it meant to be saying? >> sure, it was an initiative started by the world wide fund for nature in two thousand and seven, where it said that for an

hour each, each year we would do something for the earth, whether it's turning off lights, changing our bank account from a high carbon bank account like barclays to a low one like the co—op or triodos or deciding we will contact our rmp to say , will contact our rmp to say, what are you doing about climate? so the day where you spend an hour, whether turning off lights, being energy efficient something efficient or doing something positive for nature and the positive for nature and for the climate well , then, climate emergency, well, then, you've got to ed as leader of the climate party, you'd support this, then , wouldn't you? this, then, wouldn't you? >> i think it's fantastic. so i think it's an amazing way of raising awareness all around the world. i think it's a great, idea by the wwf to, to say to us all that we've got to be doing something for the climate , at something for the climate, at that time. so if you're not turning your lights off at home, you're actually thinking about it about it. it and doing something about it. i . i think i think it's fantastic. i think it's a big wake up call for us as that literally as well, that it's literally happening around world. happening all around the world. i france,

i mean, whether it's france, italy, greece , vietnam, china, italy, greece, vietnam, china, japan, singapore , australia, japan, singapore, australia, everyone's doing it. that should be a wake up call to britain to say that everyone around the world is thinking about this and is going to do something. >> but did you turn your lights off night, at 830, the off last night, ed at 830, the call by wwf was to do something thatis call by wwf was to do something that is the right thing to be doing for the planet. >> i was preparing for this >> so i was preparing for this interview that interview to make sure that i could come on and talk about the right could come on and talk about the rigithat's a bit too clever an >> that's a bit too clever an answer, isn't it? >> yes. >> yes. >> yeah, i mean, i turned my lights out because i go to bed at time , what about at about that time, what about you, you turn you, donna? did you turn everything own home, everything off in your own home, or were you looking towards the big from you know, the big gestures from you know, the likes of the eiffel tower and big ben? >> well, think , i've been >> well, i think, i've been keeping pledge since the keeping the pledge since the 1992 earth summit. the world leaders in 1992 asked people to turn off the lights in rooms that they're not in, and to turn off the heating in rooms that are not in. and i've done that ever yesterday to mark ever since and yesterday to mark earth , earth hour, my whole

earth, earth hour, my whole house was free from the grid. i was produced more electricity yesterday than i than i use. so i helped other people cut turn their carbon footprint for their lights off as well. so. and the other thing i did yesterday was i celebrated a whole year since last year's earth hour of not being in a car once i set myself a challenge, could i not be in a car because car and transport and flying are the single biggest source of carbon emissions in the united kingdom. so thought, could i set myself emissions in the united kingdom. s

this team? the team looked very pedestrian well , yes. okay. he pedestrian well, yes. okay. he got, he got far and we and we tend to think that because we're england a divine right england we have a divine right to some these to win some of these tournaments. we've, we've thought odd thought that for the last 50 odd years. does there years. however there does there is to me that is always an element to me that england little bit england look a little bit pedestrian, against pedestrian, particularly against the like the really good sides like brazil. brazil had missing players lost players last night. they've lost their matches. their last three matches. they're ebb, at they're at a low ebb, they're at the lowest they've been in the lowest ebb they've been in 21 years. but nonetheless they are go. 21 years. but nonetheless they are england go. 21 years. but nonetheless they are england didn't go. 21 years. but nonetheless they are england didn't imposego. and england didn't impose themselves on them enough. and when a major when you get to a major tournament, as say, only three tournament, as i say, only three months you really months away now, you really have to pressing claims. to be pressing your claims. do that. be that. i do think this will be gareth southgate's last tournament. he's been linked with job tournament. he's been linked witwell, job tournament. he's been linked witwell, so job tournament. he's been linked witwell, so i job tournament. he's been linked witwell, so i think job tournament. he's been linked witwell, so i think he'd)b as well, so i don't think he'd be to any takers. be sure to have any takers. sometimes change, but sometimes you need a change, but someone radio show someone rang in the radio show last maybe last night and said maybe in a few months, a months time few months, a few months time we'll miss gareth we'll be saying we miss gareth southgate. , that's southgate. yeah, well, that's how fickle the game is these days, isn't it? yeah. nonetheless, with nonetheless, brazil won with late by 17 year late on with a goal by 17 year old hendrick. yeah. >> he'll be celebrating. >> so he'll be celebrating. >> so he'll be celebrating. >> will indeed about >> he will indeed tell us about sven—goran and his sven—goran eriksson and his lifelong dream. >> he had a life long dream to manage liverpool. he wasn't able

heart. she appeared in this photo book that kate put together, and they also met, several times. and of course, miller is wishing the princess of wales well. >> and what's lovely, there was a lovely incident where they did meet have been off to meet up. must have been off to obviously was obviously after covid was finished and they met up at holyrood, and, and, catherine was wearing a red dress, i think, and she , she met miller, think, and she, she met miller, and miller was wearing a pink dress. yeah. and catherine said to her, is that your favourite colour? pink. she yes, colour? pink. and she said, yes, it's my favourite colour. so it's my favourite colour. and so catherine out and catherine got up, walked out and changed a pink dress, changed into a pink dress, didn't she? >> lovely ? she >> yes. isn't that lovely? she must carry her wardrobe with her. pink dress. her. yeah. spare pink dress. >> she must have thought. >> she must have thought. >> oh, i've got a pink dress in the suitcase. >> the pink suitcase. >> that's the pink suitcase. >> that's the pink suitcase. >> no, that's nice. >> come on. but no, that's nice. it's little things like that make a huge difference. >> absolutely. stayed >> absolutely. and they stayed in yeah, in touch ever since. yeah, georgie, the georgie, can we look at the sunday times and this, idea that some of our politicians are being targeted by china. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> nothing new here, but,

there's a lot of talk about china . i suppose we're running china. i suppose we're running up to an election. there's obviously concern about that in the us. they're talking about banning tiktok, is, of banning tiktok, which is, of course, owned. but like course, chinese owned. but like i this is is nothing i said, this is this is nothing new. but it does seem to me that and maybe i'm being a bit unfair here, that government departments tend to be slightly behind the curve, shall we say, with we've got with things like this. we've got a wave of ai, new a brand new wave of ai, new technology that's technology coming in that's going cause all sorts of going to cause all sorts of problems. so i, you know, i think they only banned tiktok on their phones last year, but is it can we ever beat this sort of thing? >> because whatever we come up with to ban tiktok and create, you security walls, you know, security walls, whatever they call them, to filter everything out minute filter everything out the minute we invent something, it gets beaten. >> the reality is you are never going. we are never going to beat cyber criminals. i actually spoke to an expert very recently about this said, we about just this who said, we have to get used to it. basically, create your crown jewels , protect the most jewels, protect the most important thing for you and

accept and this is for business or for government. accept that there will be breaches around that. there will be breaches around that . so what the government that. so what the government needs to do is focus on things to protect. they need to make sure their security systems sure that their security systems are , are as tight as possible, particularly, as you say, like running up to an election. but as you say, this is, you know, we're playing a of whack we're playing a game of whack a mole. far more mole. they're far more sophisticated. when sophisticated. and when you hean hear, you know, chinese government , they all have the government, they all have the weight chinese population, weight of a chinese population, which what, of the which is what, a fifth of the world's that world's population. that is quite battle on their hands. quite a battle on their hands. the yeah. the government. yeah. >> more you can >> there's always more you can do, i think, you do, though. and i think, you know, of government know, lots of government computers very computers in particular are very outdated. i mean, people might remember in 2017 when remember back in 2017 when the nhs cyber attack, and nhs came under cyber attack, and one of the reasons it was so vulnerable was because, you know, the, the a lot of the computers people use were windows xp and those had been out date for about five years out of date for about five years already. i tell what, mps already. i tell you what, mps are there , members of staff are are there, members of staff are changing computers left, right are there, members of staff are charcentre.)mputers left, right and centre. >> all at taxpayers expense at the minute. i tell that

the minute. i tell you that every time there's a new budget and they're buying new ipads and heaven what. heaven knows what. >> biggest breaches come >> but the biggest breaches come from human error. without a doubt. and i would say just on this and it's a bit beyond china, but just the safe things don't passwords. don't use the same passwords. it's those sorts of things, it's all those sorts of things, isn't it, as well, we change isn't it, as well, can we change tack something just light and tack to something just light and fluffy? course. black fluffy? of course. and black bears in woburn. >> so this is a safari park in bedfordshire. and, there are amazing images of bears, actually having a little pedalo ride . so the enclosure was ride. so the enclosure was flooded and the keepers, if you like, decided . well, we've got a like, decided. well, we've got a spare, swan pedalo . it doesn't spare, swan pedalo. it doesn't have any pedals, so it can't be used by human beings. let's put it in enclosure and see what it in the enclosure and see what happens. and bears, being happens. and the bears, being the that they the curious animals that they are, they're all over it. are, have, they're all over it. they're are, have, they're all over it. they love that look at that. >> i love that look at that. >> i love that look at that. >> they're all board. >> they're all on board. >> they're all on board. >> getting >> they're all on board. >> everyone getting >> they're all on board. >> everyone gettito go . >> everyone wants to go. >> everyone wants to go. >> you see, i love it. i've been on— >> you see, i love it. i've been on one of swans woburn . on one of those swans at woburn. it been that very one. >> that one. >> that one. >> never know , i just think

>> you never know, i just think stuff like that, it's just. we need a heart warming. need a bit of heart warming. yeah, need a bit of heart warming. yea don't >> don't we? >> don't we? >> well, you certainly learned, don't of , don't you, that the keepers of, these animals now that are in captivity, try give captivity, but they try and give them lots of stimulation. >> yes. things they say >> yes, yes. things they say they want to enrich the environment for them constantly. well well, this shows that bears are curious. >> yeah, but i'll tell you what are curious. >> yethings: i'll tell you what are curious. >> yethings and tell you what are curious. >> yethings and zoosyou what are curious. >> yethings and zoos and vhat are curious. >> yethings and zoos and things these things and zoos and things are, zoos. are, they're not zoo zoos. they're conservation they're all conservation projects aren't they? which is very important. want to very important. i want to conserve my bank account. yes, georgie , so looking at this, georgie, so looking at this, i with one place i won't be going for a new ironing board. is harrods . harrods. >> okay, tell us about this ironing board. >> this is a i think it's an ironing experience rather than just an ironing board for £4,000. you'd like to think so. it's sort of psychedelic ironing board. it's got a built in water feature that you can steam feature thing that you can steam it. i mean, the question , as it. i mean, the question, as fraser rightly asked when we were looking over this, was if you can afford a £4,000 ironing board, you could probably afford to just send your clothes to get

ironed. however, worked out ironed. however, i worked out the maths. i don't just come in here unprepared and i think it would be about five years. and after that , if you took it to a after that, if you took it to a dry cleaner to it done dry cleaner to get it done professionally. after five years, you know, actually it's better getting the ironing board. i do think it's a key board. but i do think it's a key feature about how spend. feature about how we spend. >> picture of a lot >> we've got a picture of a lot of we don't, but is it of money. on we don't, but is it one, is it one of these that has it's got it sucks. one, is it one of these that has it's it's it sucks. one, is it one of these that has it's it's got ucks. one, is it one of these that has it's it's got vacuum or it can >> it's got vacuum or it can blow through the shirt because i tell someone who's tell you, i know someone who's got ironing system like got one and ironing system like that , got one and ironing system like that, william hanson, the uk's leading etiquette expert. he's all over. >> well, just if you are thinking of getting it, though, an ironing system like that . an ironing system like that. harrods reviewer said a little flimsy considering how much it costs. so, look, you know, if you were thinking of spending £4,000 on the ironing board, little flimsy . i mean, it looks little flimsy. i mean, it looks like a beast. i mean, quite hefty to carry it around. so i don't know if you bought this from harrods, for from harrods, £1,000 forjust don't the ironing.

don't do the ironing. >> no bother. >> no bother. >> hate it. thanks both. see you a little bit later on. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> here's your weather with marco . marco. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers , sponsors of boxt boilers, sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> hello. here's your latest weather update from the met office for gb news. sunday promises to be a much quieter day weather wise across the uk than saturday. drier, than on saturday. drier, brighter blustery too. brighter and less blustery too. there are still 1 or 2 showers around particularly around today, particularly towards north of scotland. towards the north of scotland. still hilltops still wintry across the hilltops there, elsewhere the winds there, but elsewhere the winds are, say are much lighter, more in sunshine around in the way of sunshine around any isolated. and any showers. very isolated. and with sunshine with that extra bit of sunshine and being that much and the winds being that much lighter too, it should a lighter too, it should feel a bit on saturday, bit warmer than on saturday, temperatures peaking in the south around south and southeast at around about 12 celsius. 13 there about 12 or 13 celsius. 13 there in london is 55 in fahrenheit nearer average towards the north at 8 to 11 celsius. as we go through the evening, we'll start to see some outbreaks of rain working their way in from the west, across parts of west, pushing across parts of northern other northern ireland and other

kind they've received kind messages they've received following catherine's cancer diagnosis . diagnosis. >> the statement from the palace follows the unprecedented video message , of course, that she message, of course, that she recorded where actually did recorded where she actually did tell what was happening and tell us what was happening and that she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy . she preventative chemotherapy. she after the tests that were done on initially, after her on her initially, after her first surgery, showed that cancer had indeed been present. >> well, earlier this morning we spoke to former royal butler grant harrold and royal biographer and photographer ian lloyd. >> enough talking to loved ones about it. and this is where she's not only having to tell her family, she's telling the country, the world, and it is a big step because the one thing i remember working for them or for her, was that her privacy is everything to her. you know, for both of them, it's really important. and they've managed to get a really good balance between the private and the public, i feel, between private and life. but this is and public life. but this is obviously something would obviously something that would have know, it have of course, you know, it would absolutely devastated would have absolutely devastated the so soon after the the family so soon after the

king's diagnosis. but what's really interesting is the fact that the king has spoken openly and now she's done the same. this is this is very unusual because historically, royals did not discuss health issues, as we know with the late queen and the late prince philip. this was a no go area. and here we've got a very modern royal family where they're actually openly talking about is great about this, which is great because it's raising it's not i say raising awareness, it's getting people about it getting people talking about it probably, hopefully, hopefully getting go and get getting people to go and get themselves checked. and think themselves checked. and i think it's important what she's it's really important what she's done about it. and done, speaking about it. and i really admire it. and at the same time, think, think same time, i think, i think everybody to is very everybody i spoke to is very emotional. i cannot tell you many people come up to me many people would come up to me just almost bursting tears just almost bursting into tears that, you know, it's not the fact that, the fact that fact of that, the fact that she's suffering from it because so millions do. fact so many millions do. the fact that young that she's got this young family, know, trying family, she's, you know, trying to and you know, it's to carry on and you know, it's amazing. absolutely amazing. what the way she's dealt what she's, the way she's dealt with it. >> i think now we know the, the story, so to speak, the back

story, so to speak, the back story, because there was all that odd thing about, you know, is she really ill? how ill is she, what's the situation? where was william ? at the service for was william? at the service for king constantine and things like that. lot of sort of that. a lot of sort of speculation out there. and then there lot of nastiness , there was a lot of nastiness, wasn't there? so, i think that's, that's helped that and made certain people feel quite guilty. i think some people say , guilty. i think some people say, well, right for them. well, it's all right for them. they've lot you know, they've had a lot of, you know, privilege so on. but there privilege and so on. but there i always argue that theirs is in the public ours isn't. the public eye. ours isn't. i mean, can withdraw and you mean, you can withdraw and you can. i mean, people face all kinds of serious illness and bereavement in different ways. and want to , you know, some and you want to, you know, some people run away from it. some people, cope in a stoic way. other people get very emotional. and you want to do that privately ? privately? >> well, there we are. and that's why we've been asking you, if you've written to a royal and if they've ever written back, keep your stories coming in, please. gb views at gb news. com. yeah yeah. >> so some of you though written

in to sort of tell the royals off and things. >> what are you thinking that one from beryl. >> beryl. yes. i wrote to queen elizabeth warning that harry's involvement with meghan markle would tears begging would end in tears and begging her intervene. but what can her to intervene. but what can you do? >> and em.- em.— >> yeah. and did she write back? what she say? what did she say? >> well , no, i what did she say? >> well, no, i wouldn't say that would be too difficult to reply to. think it probably to. yes, i think it probably would. but you know, you're right write , as it were. right to write, as it were. >> well, that's absolutely i think we've a right to think we've got a right to write. yes we have, yes. 8:11, now , how about this one? now, how about this one? espionage fears have taken over westminster, there's a small group of mps who have now been summoned over fears of new wave of state backed interference. >> the deputy prime minister oliver dowden, is expected to tell parliament tomorrow that beijing is behind a string of recent cyber attacks on mps and peers. >> now, amongst those summoned to this meeting include sir ian duncan smith, former tory minister tim loughton, crossbench peer lord alton and

snp mp stewart mcdonald. >> well, let's talk to political commentator charlie downes, who's here in the studio. good morning . what do we know about morning. what do we know about all of this? >> so this is i think this reflects a broader shift in the mood of western governments in their approach to china, because just america, we saw just recently in america, we saw victoria a famous russia victoria nuland, a famous russia hawk, with kurt hawk, replaced with kurt campbell, who is a lifelong china hawk. so i think that this this says a lot about the changing attitude of western governments and governments towards china. and now seeing this reflected now we're seeing this reflected in country. mean, in our country. i mean, obviously, been a lot of obviously, there's been a lot of conversation recently about banning sort banning tiktok and other sort of essentially of essentially an arm of the chinese state, because you chinese state, because if you think tiktok is not think that tiktok is not effectively by the chinese effectively run by the chinese communist then you're communist party, then you're kidding yourself. they have their every single their fingers in every single business of that country. >> do you think? i mean, it's interesting that these particular characters have been called this meeting called to the meet, this meeting and don't know what they're and we don't know what they're going be maybe they going to be told. maybe they have hacked something going to be told. maybe they havethat, hacked something going to be told. maybe they havethat, hackyjust something going to be told. maybe they havethat, hackyjust makes:hing going to be told. maybe they havethat, hackyjust makes you! like that, but it just makes you wonder our mps and peers wonder whether our mps and peers are fully to date with how are fully up to date with how much they should be wary.

>> i think that it's, it's really concerning to be honest, because i don't, i'm not particularly reassured personally i don't think that our really is on top our government really is on top of this issue to be honest. i mean i was reading a story before we came on about china possibly able to disrupt possibly being able to disrupt electric being able to electric cars, being able to stop them middle of the stop them in the middle of the road. and the reason this of road. and the reason for this of course, is because we've outsourced much of our outsourced so much of our manufacturing to china, and that is part of a broader conversation that think is conversation that i think is long overdue in the west, in our country in particular, the fact that don't anything that we don't make anything here anymore, so anymore, and we've outsourced so much crucial much of our crucial manufacturing country that manufacturing to a country that we as an enemy. we regard as an enemy. >> but a lot of that is >> yes. but a lot of that is down to that, because it's down to chips all that sort of to chips and all that sort of technology which are built with what you it's complicated, what you call it's complicated, rare metals. yes, a of rare earth metals. yes, a lot of which are based china in which are based in china or in africa, the africa, where china has the rights buy them . so there's rights to buy them. so there's no around it. we can't start no way around it. we can't start producing our own silicon chips and all the of it, because and all the rest of it, because we haven't got the haven't we haven't got the we haven't got the raw materials. got the basic raw materials. >> it's a pretty, pretty >> yeah, it's a pretty, pretty rough in as

rough situation to be in as a country, we? yeah. country, aren't we? yeah. >> we must the >> but we must have the scientists who'd be able to tell when we, you know, by in our mobile phones or all the bits that go in or electric mobile phones or all the bits that ywen or electric mobile phones or all the bits that we must or electric mobile phones or all the bits that we must have electric mobile phones or all the bits that we must have scientists cars. we must have scientists who monitor things and who can monitor these things and make they are make sure that they are independent, fully working and not functional. dint of not functional. by dint of china, would hope. china, one would hope. >> i think something that >> but i think something that china at as a china are very good at as a state is projecting an image of just being powerful. i mean, just being all powerful. i mean, we don't know. this is this is the we don't know the the problem. we don't know the extent can meddle the problem. we don't know the exte disrupt can meddle the problem. we don't know the exte disrupt the can meddle the problem. we don't know the exte disrupt the technology eddle the problem. we don't know the exte disrupt the technology that; and disrupt the technology that we've bought from them. >> yeah. oh we've bought from them. >> yeah. on do we have a danger of slipping into conspiracy with all of this, though, because we can all have a panic. i mean, this is a this is a chinese phone. this is a this is a chinese phone . am i going to then panic phone. am i going to then panic that everything that i do on this phone is going to be monitored by someone in beijing? well, i mean, they're welcome to it, perfectly honest. but, it, to be perfectly honest. but, you know, we've got to be you know, we we've got to be a bit careful, haven't we, that we just panic. just don't all panic. >> think part of the >> i think that's part of the strategy. think the, the not strategy. i think the, the not knowing is very conscious

knowing is a very conscious decision chinese because decision by the chinese because what to i think what we what we have to i think what we have to respect about the chinese they chinese is that they are operating level that we are operating at a level that we are just you know, in terms of just not, you know, in terms of strategy, in terms of long tum planning, because problem planning, because the problem with government that we with our government is that we think such short time spans, with our government is that we think time ch short time spans, with our government is that we think time horizons,ime spans, with our government is that we think time horizons, ime have s, short time horizons, we have such, short time such, such a short time preference. think in terms preference. we think in terms of election cycles, whereas the chinese, they're thinking in terms year plans, terms of decades, 25 year plans, 100 and that comes 100 year plans, and that comes as of their their as a function of their their political system, which, whether you or not, to be you like it or not, seems to be extremely effective. >> what think these mps >> what do you think these mps are going to be told that they've been i mean, they've been hacked? i mean, what's about? do what's that meeting about? do you that it's going to be >> i think that it's going to be i think atmosphere in that i think the atmosphere in that room going to be one of room is going to be one of panic, honestly, because for the reasons i've just out, reasons that i've just laid out, which we don't know. and that which is we don't know. and that paranoia that induces is part paranoia that it induces is part of strategy. paranoia that it induces is part of stratewell, charlie, >> oh. oh, well, charlie, bnnger >> oh. oh, well, charlie, bringer and gloom . good bringer of doom and gloom. good to see you this morning. cheers. >> thank very much. >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> yeah. look, we >> gosh. yeah. look, we certainly need to be on our guard. we need to be careful. i'm very dubious about things

like tiktok >> because did you buy >> because why did you buy a chinese phone then? >> i don't believe that >> because i don't believe that every manufactured in every everything manufactured in china necessarily built with china is necessarily built with the purpose monitoring us. the purpose of monitoring us. >> know, though, do you? >> no. you don't. well, of course you don't know. but then what? know, most of our what? you know, most of our other phones are either made in california. what do the americans or in korea, americans do? or in south korea, you know, samsung that, you know, samsung and all that, all lot of these all south korean. a lot of these kids, you know, so we're going to about everything we buy to panic about everything we buy from part world. from that part of the world. conspiracy or complacency. you oh that's interesting. that's interesting . but then as i say, interesting. but then as i say, have we have we have we sleepwalked into this. you know, if you've got an android phone, which most people in the world have android, then , google's have got android, then, google's monitoring everything you do anyway . do we need to panic anyway. do we need to panic about that? well, some would say yes , but i've got too much at yes, but i've got too much at other too many other things to worry about than whether google's following me as i drive to work. >> yes, but it's not about you, isn't it? it's about the fact

that a phone like that, you know, that you obviously found very attractive enough to buy at an extortionate no, an extortionate price. no, i didn't that, but you know, didn't say that, but you know, other people, people who other people, like people who run well yes, run countries will. well yes, but but they should have all that stuff. >> where they do need to >> that's where they do need to be careful. there should be be careful. and there should be sort monitored and sort of monitored and safeguarded not quite er safeguarded and not quite er blocked, but near you blocked, but near enough, you know, make sure nothing know, to make sure that nothing can that's can be done. but that's a different kettle of fish i think. yes make our british think. yes make our own british phones ministers. phones for ministers. >> they look like? >> what would they look like? we'd go back to the big bricks again. >> ritchie's phones for british minister. be way. minister. that would be the way. >> that's what they'll be >> maybe that's what they'll be told anyway. >> things extremely >> talking things extremely british. 80 years british. today marks 80 years since the most famous since one of the most famous events in second world war, events in the second world war, the escape allies, being the great escape allies, being kept in a prisoner war camp kept in a prisoner of war camp in germany, devised an elaborate plan. >> i'm sure you know it, to dig tunnels beneath the prison to try and break free. >> well, our reporter will hollis, has been meeting some of the people marking the anniversary in britain and overseas during the second world war, hundreds of thousands on

across very much so in the movie, doesn't it, that, they all saw it as their duty, to not just sit back and be prisoners of war, but to disrupt the enemy as much as they possibly could by continuously trying to escape. >> absolutely. it pulled resources away from from frontline , it obviously frontline, it obviously frustrated the germans. regionally, but also nationally, and it was really important that they did what they could to get back. >> nevertheless, when they were chased down, i mean , after that chased down, i mean, after that remarkable escape, when they were chased down, they shouldn't have been shot. that was a war crime . but they were apparently crime. but they were apparently on hitler's personal orders . on hitler's personal orders. >> absolutely. he was furious about this escape, bearing in mind that stalag luft three was built specially to house those that had been regular escapees from other camps , and i think he from other camps, and i think he tookit from other camps, and i think he took it as a great affront to their security. and he gave the

gestapo orders to make an example of the 50, but in, in a sense , it just seems to be i sense, it just seems to be i mean, i know it's glamorised by the movie in a sense, which is what most of us reflect on, but it does seem this incredible bit of britishness of, of, of spirit that we, we don't seem to have anymore , well, i can't comment anymore, well, i can't comment on whether we have it because they're not tested in the same way, as they were there, there was a collective move to support and protect our freedom, and we don't know until we're tested in a similar way, whether this generation , you know, would generation, you know, would stand up in the same way if you ask many of the bomber veterans, they they believe they would . they they believe they would. >> well, and they were so resourceful. i mean, the things we just very, briefly in we just saw very, briefly in that clip there, the things they were able to make and build in order to, to dig those tunnels,

and they made them out of things that, i mean, you just can't imagine how they did it. but they did, and they and they created, the disguises and passports , and the most passports, and the most remarkable way. >> absolutely. we worked very closely with air commodore charles clarke, who was the president of the association, that robert now heads. and his memory of it was that he climbed into bed one day and fell through because all the struts from his bed had been removed, and literally it was everything had a secondary purpose . had a secondary purpose. >> yeah. just while we've got you, i just wanted your views on, as your international bomber command centre on the lancaster bomber memorial that's meant to rival the angel of the north on the lincolnshire nottinghamshire border that they're trying to raise more money for. at the moment, it looks like it's going to be an incredible structure, when they get it up next year,

>> that's

next. >> now. did you know? oh, no. that. this week. yes. has been shakespeare week. no idea. no, i think it missed me too. but schools up and down the country have been getting involved in activities to learn more about britain's most celebrated bard. >> are there any other bards? no. i think he must be the world's biggest bard. only bard really know what a bard is. but anyway. but there's children . anyway. but there's children. learn about his plays. some theatres have giving given audiences . theatres have giving given audiences. oh, theatres have giving given audiences . oh, wait for it audiences. oh, wait for it trigger warnings ahead of performances, informing them about themes like violence, racism and misogyny. >> well, that's why he wrote about it, isn't it? >> yes. our west midlands reporter jack carson reports . reporter jack carson reports. >> uneasy lies the head that wears the crown but for william

shakespeare, retaining his status as britain's most celebrated bard has been seemingly light work. 1700 of the words he invented are still part of our language today, and this week has all been about continuing that legacy within the community. shakespeare week is celebrating a decade of giving primary school aged children opportunities to enrich themselves in the work of the man from stratford. as charlotte scott, director of knowledge at the shakespeare birthplace trust, explains, well , the last trust, explains, well, the last ten years have been spectacular as we started to grow a programme that was really about creating an incredibly positive experience for children to access shakespeare , where access shakespeare, where language isn't a barrier, where it's fun, where it's playful . it's fun, where it's playful. >> and over the last ten years, that programme has grown. i think what's important as well is that we allow children to explore some of those adult themes ways that they are themes in ways that they are informed and enabled, so that they can still encounter ideas that are related to the adult

world, but in safe spaces and in ways that are inclusive and imaginative. >> more recently, adult themes within shakespeare have been the topic of debate, with both actor ralph fiennes and culture secretary lucy frazer calling for an end of the increasing number of trigger warnings on the bard's plays. fine says people should be shocked and disturbed by the theatre, but what are those in shakespeare's hometown of stratford make of the recent trend ? the recent trend? >> i think that's an overreaction . no need for it at all. >> absolutely ridiculous . you >> absolutely ridiculous. you just have to understand how the world was when those plays and works were written, and there was no offence meant, it was just how it was. and you can't rewrite history. the woke bngade rewrite history. the woke brigade spoiling everything. >> i think that's a good idea because things have changed. >> standards have improved, values have improved. so yeah , values have improved. so yeah, that's not offend. >> to warn or not to warn that is the question. but shakespeare

week has opened the door for the next generation to continue the bard's ever lasting legacy. jack carson gb news stratford upon avon . avon. >> oh, get a grip. >> oh, get a grip. >> what do you think of that ? >> what do you think of that? >> what do you think of that? >> get a grip. i mean, it's ridiculous to be putting trigger warnings ahead of episodes of blue peter next. yes. >> that's right. yes in case you were sticky back plastic. >> sticky back plastic. yeah. you may be allergic to you know, it's it just gets ridiculous. you know. and if you don't like something, don't go and see it. you know, it's, you know. you know, if it's, you know. >> oh, the question you know >> oh, the question is, you know , should you just know what it's about go and see it about before you go and see it so that you're you have a rough idea. >> i mean, you know, it's not a modern piece. >> yeah. and if you're going to see a shakespeare surely see a shakespeare play, surely you've interest already. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> crazy. mean, it's >> crazy. i mean, it's a wonderful thing to you lose track of shakespeare, but as you're getting older. but i mean, i went to see 1 or 2 local performances when i was a youngster, you know, and doing doing my a—levels and things. it's incredible work. >> live very near

break. >> time for the sport. with mr aidan magee. >> good to see you both. for the tennis . oh, absolutely. we tennis. oh, absolutely. we mentioned retirement earlier on, didn't we? >> well, we've been talking a lot about retirement. ant and

andy murray, who a lot of people thought might retire, probably five years ago. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> well, he's right through to the round of the miami open. >> he is? yeah. look it's what number is. >> does he rank the world? >> does he rank in the world? >> does he rank in the world? >> 566 on february the 24th, so that's what, a month ago with this victory, they might take him up the rankings. but what that means, in effect, han, is that means, in effect, han, is that wherever you go, you're not going to get easy draws, which is why in second round, he's is why in the second round, he's faced world number 27, faced the world number 27, thomas etcheverry, who thomas martin etcheverry, who beat him, actually, at the australian beat him, actually, at the australiarbut he beat him this time. >> he did indeed. yeah, it was some, some measure of revenge. but think the spell of injury but i think the spell of injury probably reignited his, his appetite tennis. he did say appetite for tennis. he did say on graham norton show, maybe on the graham norton show, maybe ten that after winning ten years ago that after winning that because that first wimbledon, because that first wimbledon, because that was holy grail for so that was the holy grail for so long, not just for for but long, not just for him, for but for many other british for so many other british players over the last 40, 50 players over the last 30, 40, 50 years lost little bit years that he lost a little bit of desire. he was happy to just rest laurels. you can you rest on his laurels. you can you can understand that. then the injury took took hold. he did

win didn't at win another one, didn't he, at wimbledon three years wimbledon in 2016. three years later. wonder just later. but i wonder if that just intensified or intensified or reignited his or replenished reignited his his or replenished his competition his appetite for competition because just because he's not like he's just taking exhibition taking part in exhibition matches or invitationals his matches or invitationals on his doorstep. mean, he's doorstep. i mean, he's travelled, travelling to travelled, he's travelling to miami presume looking to miami. i presume he's looking to compete he i mean, may compete in he i mean, he may miss the clay court season, i don't know, just because of the injury situation his hip. injury situation with his hip. but say he's showing no sign but i'd say he's showing no sign of the moment. and of abating at the moment. and he won sets, yesterday. won in straight sets, yesterday. and big beasts and there's some big beasts still in the in my, in the still left in the in my, in the miami open. but novak djokovic has out because wants has pulled out because he wants to manage schedule a bit to manage his schedule a bit more. i imagine it's just more. and i imagine it's just you know, he'll happily go to a five goes. five setter anywhere he goes. but interesting that but isn't it interesting that having one, he's got having been number one, he's got two grand be, you know, to be two grand to be, you know, to be ranked so much lower down and still do it grates with still do the but it grates with him. no, i don't think it does because don't because well, because i don't because well, i may be it . may be doing it. >> isn't he. >> isn't he. >> maybe because sometimes sometimes you'd sometimes you normally you'd expect wouldn't you. expect a wild card wouldn't you. yeah. into especially into yeah. into into especially into major tournaments miami is major major tournaments miami is quite it's not one quite a major one. it's not one of the grand slams, but it's one

of the grand slams, but it's one of the grand slams, but it's one of the one of the next important one. he's one. yeah. exactly. and so he's going going i think going he's he's going on i think it's tomorrow. he's in action. and you know we'll see how he gets but as i say he looks gets on. but as i say he looks in really decent form the in really decent form at the moment. let's how long moment. and let's see how long he go 566 37. he's 37 he can go for. 566 37. he's 37 in may. >> all right. well yeah that's two too young to retire. two still too young to retire. >> really. >> really. >> it is all talking about >> yeah. it is all talking about being endrick. being young endrick. >> old. yeah. so >> yes. 17 years old. yeah. so he would have been he would only been five when andy murray been about five when andy murray won his first one, his first grand slam. won his first one, his first gra and lam. the young won his first one, his first graandlam. the young man who >> and he was the young man who scored for scored the winning goal for brazil quite on last night. brazil quite late on last night. >> yeah. so it was i mean he's actually already signed to real madrid for next year. so madrid for next, next year. so they're younger and they're getting younger and younger seems. but he's younger it seems. but he's obviously prodigious talent obviously a prodigious talent because they've scouted him in south looks an south america and he looks an outstanding he was outstanding player. he was quite, a fortunate goal. quite, quite a fortunate goal. he's into net. it he's knocked it into the net. it was bit of a mistake by the was a bit of a mistake by the england defence of lax marking. but you know when but i have to say, you know when you're an opportunity you're given an opportunity in the key players and the absence of key players and you really have to step up to the plate our players last

the plate and our players last night just didn't do that. ollie watkins a big watkins was given a big opportunity last night to start it, he got it, didn't he? he did. he got the got the whole think he the he got the whole i think he got the whole 90 minutes. he certainly played most most of the big in the game. one big chance in the first first toney is first first half. ivan toney is also 28 and there's going to be one space alongside harry kane i think the plane to germany think on the plane to germany three months it's not as three months time. it's not as if looking ahead if we're looking two years ahead here. much on the here. it's pretty much on the honzon here. it's pretty much on the horizon so ivan toney there horizon and so ivan toney there against there against belgium rather tuesday at wembley rather on on tuesday at wembley and be looking stake and he'll be looking to stake his claim. think that's and he'll be looking to stake his he'sn. think that's and he'll be looking to stake his he's got think that's and he'll be looking to stake his he's got to think that's and he'll be looking to stake his he's got to beat1k that's and he'll be looking to stake his he's got to beat1k night. all he's got to beat last night. and a player that ollie and this is a player that ollie watkins, who scored 16 goals and set this season. so set up ten this season. so i think toney will look at think ivan toney will look at that night and it'll be if that last night and it'll be if he make plane. ivan he does make the plane. ivan toney, bit that's quite toney, that's a bit that's quite a recovery because he a remarkable recovery because he was for months was banned for eight months wasn't only wasn't he. yeah. he only came back scored wasn't he. yeah. he only came back goals scored wasn't he. yeah. he only came back goals since scored wasn't he. yeah. he only came backgoals since then. scored wasn't he. yeah. he only came backgoals since then. but'ed wasn't he. yeah. he only came backgoals since then. but you four goals since then. but you look other rest the look at the other rest of the england england side i mean kyle walker damaged the hamstring. that's a worry for manchester city in of the for city on the run in of the for the league. harry the premier league. harry maguire particularly maguire wasn't particularly outstanding despite his renaissance for manchester united particularly impressive renaissance for manchester unithe particularly impressive renaissance for manchester unithe bench larly impressive

good morning. 849. should we see what's making the papers this morning, with, georgie frost and

fraser myers? morning to you both . both. >> well, all the front pages are still princess catherine, but looking at a few other stories, this one's absolutely fascinating. georgia, you found it in the observer. that playground bullies those horrible kids you had to endure at school to earn more money in middle age. >> isn't that depressing? yes. so what do we do? do we encourage all our children to be bullies? no, we absolutely don't. this is a five decade study . don't. this is a five decade study. finding aggression at school can lead to later success at work . they obviously found at work. they obviously found those who were disengaged in school, etc. didn't do so well, but the thing that surprised them the most was this. so maybe that bolshie that kind of pushy bolshie slightly aggressive manner is what's got them this far. however, does go on to say however, it does go on to say don't encourage your children to be bullied because actually the change in the workplace since sort of the metoo movement and 2016 and sort of thing has 2016 and that sort of thing has gone for a softer approach, maybe, i guess you could argue they might earn more money in middle they're not

middle age, but they're not necessarily they ? necessarily happier, are they? >> i mean, i'm hoping what's it going to say? >> so . >> let's hope so. >> let's hope so. >> well, there's always this idea oh, the idea that, you know, oh, the bully themselves in emotional bully is themselves in emotional pain. that's why they, pain. and that's why they, they lash wonder if is lash out. i just wonder if is that something we tell that just something we tell ourselves sort of coping ourselves as a sort of coping mechanism? , you know, ourselves as a sort of coping me> do you know the nasty, nasty managers i always managers i've had? i always think probably bullied think they were probably bullied at school. >> you would think that, wouldn't you ? but they didn't. wouldn't you? but they didn't. >> that's what you're told or you're believe. you're led to believe. >> it. they didn't >> i can see it. they didn't follow and check whether follow this up and check whether they and they were aggressive and bullying though. yeah. so bullying now though. yeah. so they from that they may have learned from that early experience, but who knows. that's maybe. that's for another study maybe. >> well, you've got to hope so though. you've got to hope so , though. you've got to hope so, fraser, just stop oils . though. you've got to hope so, fraser, just stop oils. i mean, the idiots in just stop oil. they're two white and two middle class, apparently. >> but we've noticed they have

very posh. they're very posh. >> they do? yes. so someone called olive from just stop oil has, she's adjustable oil activist. she's saying some home truths to them that we're too white. too , middle class. white. we're too, middle class. as said, everyone else has as you said, everyone else has noficed as you said, everyone else has noticed , you know, just the noticed that, you know, just the names are a big giveaway, famous just stop oil activists include indigo rumbelow. that's right. amy. rug daisy. cressida. gethin. you know, they just. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> they're not ordinary working class people. >> you'll be shocked to hear that and i think that they're not. and i think this really a question this isn't really a question of messaging and i just messaging and tactics. i do just think extreme eco think that the extreme eco activism is only really going to attract posh people, because it is a kind of class war in a sense. you know, it's a job. >> it's a job no one else can afford to take all the time off to go and spray paint. >> it is an attack on ordinary working people's lives. you know, against mass know, they're against mass travel, no ordinary, you know, cars the way people use, get around much. you know, they're in favour of higher energy bills and that's, you know,

destructive to industry, destructive to industry, destructive to industry, destructive to people's pay packets. so there an inherent packets. so there is an inherent class this that is class dynamic to this that is not going to be circumvented by better messaging. yeah >> now we've only got a couple of minutes and we've got to see the next video that sort of gone viral. tell us about it viral. georgie, tell us about it first. set it up for us. but it's something to do with an elephant, a safari. >> i don't know if you've ever been safari in south been on a safari in south africa. i've no, i've africa. no i've been no, i've been safari park. you might been to a safari park. you might think twice after watching this video, i will leave it at video, and i will leave it at that because i thought, oh, elephant . elephant. >> so this happened. this happened where it was at the, i don't know where. actually, it must have been on safari on safari in africa somewhere. so let's have a look at the video . let's have a look at the video. now, this is what happened when a very large elephant decided it didn't like the truck coming towards carrying tourists.

anniversary is being marked across bomber country or bomber county. lincolnshire >> hello! today looks much quieter weather wise across the uk than on saturday. there'll be more in way of sunshine more in the way of sunshine around lighter winds too. more in the way of sunshine arouwith lighter winds too. more in the way of sunshine arouwith those 1ter winds too. more in the way of sunshine arouwith those lighter ds too. more in the way of sunshine arouwith those lighter winds. more in the way of sunshine arouwith those lighter winds it and with those lighter winds it should feel a warmer. i'll should feel a bit warmer. i'll have the a little have all the details a little bit later. have all the details a little bit morning i'm stephen >> morning to you. i'm stephen dixon i'm anne diamond and dixon and i'm anne diamond and this is breakfast on gb news. so many of you are getting in touch with messages that you've sent to the royal family . because to the royal family. because about the kensington palace. absolutely overwhelmed by the support shown to the princess of wales. and of course, a lot of that will be online at the moment . but, but of course moment. but, but of course people will be writing and it means a huge amount apparently, john's been in touch saying he remembers the 16th of october, 1991, because it's the day he was told he had cancer, he loves

the queen mum. so my family wrote to her to ask if she could send a note, and a letter arrived at on my hospital bed saying her majesty's brother had the same cancer as me, so she understands it with great sympathy with what she was going through and wished me better. i treasure that letter to this day. so it's huge impact, isn't it? not only when you write it, but when they write back as well. i think that's a lovely thing . and we're going to be thing. and we're going to be talking a little later on talking a little bit later on about support that the about all the support that the princess wales and indeed the princess of wales and indeed the princess of wales and indeed the prince wales have received, prince of wales have received, because it's important to remember all of this, remember william in all of this, who's having to be and the king, the rock and the king and the queen in. yeah. through all of this, so reflecting on that a little bit later on. >> but first of all, let's go look at russia, where a national day of mourning is taking place following that devastating massacre at a concert hall near moscow on friday, which killed

at least 143 people. >> now, despite islamic state claiming responsibility for the attack. and that seems to be backed up by the united states as well. yesterday, president putin has suggested that they were all helped by ukraine, well, earlier on we spoke with defence editor of the evening standard, robert fox . standard, robert fox. >> two strands. sorry, excuse me. in this story. now, one is the massacre itself, which was terrible , and the number seems terrible, and the number seems to have gone up to 143 now with hundreds injured , unspecified hundreds injured, unspecified numbers. they're probably in a numbers. they're probably in a number of, of hospitals . but the number of, of hospitals. but the other is the false flag argument. this is a political story now which is gathering potency and it is very important. i ask , as it's called important. i ask, as it's called the islamic state khorasan. the parts of afghanistan whence it comes, where it is fighting the taliban, which you believe it has form . it's done a lot of has form. it's done a lot of things, but also putin. russia

has form with false flag arguments and a lot of the russians in exile . the experts russians in exile. the experts have been going through quite a lot of their comments. just this morning again, our pointing to the precedents of false flag arguments. and there was one spectacular 1 in 1999 where spectacular1 in 1999 where apartment blocks were blown up in moscow as putin himself was moving . follow me from being moving. follow me from being prime minister to president for the first time. he's just been re—elected for the fifth time, to the headship of government and state. he did briefly become prime minister in between . at prime minister in between. at that time, he launched the second terrible chechen war . so second terrible chechen war. so this was fingered very clearly. it's very interesting for us here in britain and us here in london by alexander litvinenko , london by alexander litvinenko, who was then killed three years

later. so this what i'm saying is that putin's argument, which you illustrated here, shows the psychological campaign he is going through. now, what he's saying to people in russia, in moscow in particular, is i'm still in charge. i'm a big boss. the enemies are all around. my war is right, and it's not the war is right, and it's not the war where he is in trouble. by the way, on the caucasus borders of russia with islamic fundamentalists who have attacked in russia and in iran, the new russian ally. and you can see how complex it's going, i'm afraid, in the psychological war, we're just at the beginning. what he is saying, your security is safe in my hands. except why didn't the gru, the fsb, the secret services , react sooner? even the services, react sooner? even the emergency services took nearly two hours to arrive in strength

at the scene. but his message is i'm the boss. i'm going to make it work for me . it work for me. >> robert fox talking to us earlier . i >> robert fox talking to us earlier. i mean, with all that going on, there's china espionage claims in parliament this morning. and of course, all the reaction to what's happened with the princess of wales and the support which she says she's overwhelmed by, it , this is in overwhelmed by, it, this is in the mail on sunday this morning. i'm so touched by the outpouring of love. it's in all the papers this morning. of love. it's in all the papers this morning . and quite right this morning. and quite right too, that that support is being shown. there's lots and lots shown. so there's lots and lots and lots for camilla tominey to get her teeth into at 9:30 this morning. and she joins now. morning. and she joins us now. morning camilla. >> and indeed camilla, you've written a piece in this morning's telegraph talking about what has happened to the king and princess catherine and how it's going to make them even stronger together . stronger together. >> yes. i mean, they're already very close , and we've seen that

very close, and we've seen that over the course of recent years, haven't we? because they always greet each other with a greater degree of affection . obviously, degree of affection. obviously, the king is the king to her, but also her beloved father in law. and we know now that when they were in the london clinic were both in the london clinic together, having different together, having their different treatments , in kate's case for treatments, in kate's case for that abdominal surgery, and in the king's case for that enlarged prostate that he was toddling down the corridor in his dressing gown to go and see her. so i think that they've both taken enormous comfort from each going through this each other, going through this horrific at same horrific experience. at the same time, i was also told that one of the reasons why the princess decided to do that video message will honest, which will actually be honest, which is unprecedented . i mean, is quite unprecedented. i mean, she always been most she hasn't always been the most confident speakers , so confident of public speakers, so for her to put herself forward in that very personal way, in that video that was recorded last week, i think it was because the king had had such an overwhelmingly positive response to his own cancer diagnosis , to his own cancer diagnosis, that she then was able to build up the courage to be that candid

with the public. and obviously the results have kind of proved her right. i think william had reservations about doing it, reservations about her doing it, had been questioning, look, why do have to put yourself out do you have to put yourself out there in way, not least there in this way, not least after had been after everything that had been put through all of social put through all of the social media criticism, conspiracy media criticism, the conspiracy theories, the false rumours, i think william was a bit nervous on on her behalf. but i'm told that she basically got it in her head. she wanted to do it, not just because of this idea of timing it so that the children will have been told and then go on their easter holidays. so their parents could shield them a bit the public a little bit from the public gaze equally , because gaze now. but equally, because she felt the response to she felt that the response to the had been positive the king had been so positive that wanted open with that she wanted to be open with the support, really, the public in support, really, for other people going through cancer for other people going through canlar for other people going through can! mean, the important thing >> i mean, the important thing is, though, now can they put it behind i've just been is, though, now can they put it behind someone; just been is, though, now can they put it behind someone sent been is, though, now can they put it behind someone sent mean looking someone sent me something on twitter actually this highlighting some this morning, highlighting some of the trolling which is going on now even after the announcement. and it's absolutely vile. i mean, it's

absolutely vile. i mean, it's absolutely vitriolic. so you've got to hope that these wicked and evil people can be ignored and evil people can be ignored and frankly, and that now, she said her piece , she's getting said her piece, she's getting support from the vast majority of people. will they be able to just ignore the rest ? just ignore the rest? >> i mean, i really hope so. what is wrong with people? seriously, in light of this diagnosis , you've still got diagnosis, you've still got people trolling the princess of wales . i think one particular wales. i think one particular troll has been exposed in the mail on sunday this morning. it's just absolutely despicable, isn't it? but at the same time, unfortunately, social media is a sewer and a lot of these keyboard warriors can't be stopped. i mean , they're stopped. i mean, they're emboldened by us giving them coverage. this tendency coverage. i think this tendency for the mainstream media to sort of pick up on criticism on x and other platforms and then amplify it, i don't think we should be doing that. i don't think we should be giving credence at should be giving any credence at all to sort of self—appointed experts on social media that are largely anonymous. they don't know what they're talking about.

it's all a vanity project for them. just ignore them . i mean, them. just ignore them. i mean, obviously this is generated a huge of media coverage as huge amount of media coverage as would be of an would be expected of an announcement gravitas . announcement of this gravitas. it came as an enormous shock, even to people like me in the business, who have been covering her story quite some her health story for quite some time. the general public is rightfully of reacted with rightfully kind of reacted with a huge amount of sympathy because she's a very popular member royal family and member of the royal family and i think there's rightly admiration for shown in for the courage she's shown in how presented herself to how she's presented herself to the mean , trolls the public. so, i mean, trolls and these dreadful people, they shouldn't be given any airtime or credence whatsoever. >> in my mind, i think i think we all agree there is. and not to let our news agenda be guided by these horrible people on social media, it's interesting. i mean, obviously we know you very much on gb news talking politics, but you have this esteemed career as a royal reporter and editor, too. do you have any royal guests on the show today ? show today? >> well, actually, speaking of

royalty, and of course we're going to be addressing the prince of princess of wales story throughout the show. will be speaking about it to martin townsend, former of the townsend, former editor of the sunday papers. sunday express, in the papers. i've actually just done an interview with chancellor, interview with the chancellor, jeremy be jeremy hunt, which will be playing on the he had playing out on the show. he had to a pre—record to come in for a pre—record because he's a very busy because he's got a very busy broadcast morning. broadcast round this morning. i've the cancer i've asked him about the cancer diagnosis because of course he's experienced own experienced cancer in his own family . his brother charlie died family. his brother charlie died of cancer year. he's of cancer last year. he's running the london marathon for a cancer charity. so i spoke to him about that. and i've got ailsa anderson talking about it. she's the former press secretary to elizabeth ii . she knows to queen elizabeth ii. she knows the princess of wales well. she knows royals . and she can knows the royals. and she can also perhaps comment on what it means monarchy moving means for the monarchy moving forward. mean, person forward. i mean, the person i feel in all this , feel sorry for in all this, apart from kate, is, of course, prince imagine in the prince william. imagine in the last two months his father's been diagnosed with cancer and now his wife. >> yeah, it's an awful lot on his shoulders. and he was saying yesterday, he's going to plough

on. he's going to carry on. but it won't be until this is over that he'll really feel all that pressure. hope give a pressure. i hope we give him a bit a towards the end bit of a break towards the end of year, actually, when of the year, actually, when he'll that recuperation he'll need that recuperation time . time. >> absolutely. and also, i think this idea of any of them rushing back to work, you know, this is a very serious condition. she's having chemotherapy . any idea having chemotherapy. any idea that they have to start appearing at easter services if they want to appear at things they want to appear at things they should. but i think everybody now understands this need to prioritise immediate family , their own three family, their own three children, rather than the so—called firm . and to be so—called family firm. and to be fair, amid talk of the slimmed down monarchy , the royals have down monarchy, the royals have done quite well. you know, as you say there, stephen, you've had william carrying out had william still carrying out engagements despite everything that's on in the that's been going on in the background. camilla, she's background. queen camilla, she's been a blinder, hasn't been playing a blinder, hasn't she? we've had other members of the family, like princess the royal family, like princess anne stepping so they've anne stepping up. so they've kept on road even kept the show on the road even though there has been all of this anguish and

this turmoil and anguish and anxiety in the background, which i think no mean feat . i think is no mean feat. >> oh yeah. well, i think they've done remarkably well, actually . it's about time we cut actually. it's about time we cut them a of slack. them a bit of slack. >> yeah, really is. >> yeah, it really is. >> yeah, it really is. >> camilla. look forward to >> camilla. we look forward to seeing 930. thanks very >> camilla. we look forward to seeingindeed 930. thanks very >> camilla. we look forward to seeingindeed .930. thanks very much indeed. >> it's really interesting what much indeed. >> say'eally interesting what much indeed. >> say'ealwellteresting what much indeed. >> say'ealwell about1g what much indeed. >> say'ealwell about thinking you say as well about thinking about prince william. maybe not now, because step up to now, because he will step up to the . he'll shoulder the the plate. he'll shoulder the burdens. yeah , i when burdens. but, yeah, i when i lost my little boy way back in 1991, and i was doing lots of interviews about it and started the campaign, a lot of the doctors i interviewed said, you shouldn't be doing this now, but if you have to, i said, well, i have to. and they said, all right, but just look right, but can you just look ahead the diary six months ahead in the diary six months from will like from now, it will hit you like a sledgehammer and you must be prepared for that. i'm glad prepared for that. and i'm glad they said that because i, i was then and i took some time off work everything, they work and everything, and they need that prince need to be saying that to prince william. doing a fab william. now you're doing a fab job the moment. you really job at the moment. you really are family together, are keeping the family together, keeping on the keeping the whole show on the road. think about road. but please think about yourself . if road. but please think about yourself. if in road. but please think about yourself . if in about road. but please think about yourself. if in about six months time, september, and that means

challenging for them to think, right? i've now got to try and get to the woods unseen. not, allow them to see me or my fellow escapees. and then try and make a home run back to the uk. yeah, and they nearly made it. >> you could argue the all of the business. we can see behind you is, i suppose, what's left. but it is remarkable that there is some the tunnels, the is some of the tunnels, the various left and all the various tunnels left and all the bits and pieces that those remarkable airmen, most of them managed to construct so that they could escape. >> absolutely. the innovation and the, skills that they showed , whether it be in forgery, in clothe making, for making of documentation, coming up with their own stories, they used a whole myriad of different skill sets to, to construct what was absolutely an absolute tremendous sort of achievement and, and act of escapism , and

and, and act of escapism, and we're here now obviously to try and, to try and replicate that and, to try and replicate that and to train our royal air force aviators in those same skills. >> well, i was going to say , do >> well, i was going to say, do these men remain an inspiration not only for you, but for new recruits as well ? recruits as well? >> absolutely. we're we're sadly, not joined by people that survived the camp because, at this time. but we're very much joined by families and friends that will be with us here today for the ceremony , who relive the for the ceremony, who relive the stories and are able to convey that message to the youngsters that message to the youngsters that i've got here with me today. and they draw lots of strength and inspiration from that, and i know that they will be extremely proud in being here to represent the royal air force at today's ceremony . at today's ceremony. >> yeah. very important. it's interesting that where you're standing almost where standing is almost where i imagine they would have come up from tunnel and you can see from the tunnel and you can see how far short the point. yeah, it's the point. there it's exactly the point. there you go. >> and you can see where they were .

were. >> you can see that, you know, the is only just behind the wood is only just behind you, but you've got to get from there the to safe . there into the wood to be safe. and that was a very dangerous. >> they came up out >> well, when they came up out of the hole, the wood line that you can see was actually you can see now was actually another 30ft there were another 30ft back. so there were another 30ft back. so there were a short . and hence, a little bit short. and hence, if you remember back from the film, they used a very ingenious technique with a rope. and then so then , let the next so they would then, let the next individual coming out when it was time and free to, for them to try and make that their successful escape. so, they had to be thinking on their feet, show the ingenuity , be, just as show the ingenuity, be, just as today's royal air force aviators are having to do all the time when they're defending the skies of the united kingdom. >> yeah, absolutely. steve parlour is fabulous to talk to you this morning. i hope both you this morning. i hope both you and those young men and women that you're travelling with today , they, really benefit with today, they, really benefit from that visit. >> thanks very much indeed. >> thanks very much indeed. >> thanks very much indeed. >> thank you. i mean, incredible for the young, very young people.
