of us owe them an apology? joining us now in the studio is columnist for the daily mail, sarah vine. and you said exactly this, didn't you? morning, sarah. >> yeah. i think to a greater or lesser extent. i mean, not everybody, obviously, but i think think it's think i think that, it's interesting what say about interesting what you say about this, russian trolls and chinese. >> charles, i think we all allowed ourselves to get a bit destabilised mean, let's destabilised by. i mean, let's be we did. we all got a be honest, we did. we all got a bit carried didn't we? and bit carried away, didn't we? and i've been thinking about a lot about this over weekend about this over the weekend and just thinking the internet really does get under your skin sometimes, you know, and it's really hard to sort of separate the wood from the trees. and i think that, i mean, the main the thing that we did all get carried away about, i think was the picture, the sort of doctored picture. and i think we sort of read it all sorts sort of read into it all sorts of stuff that perhaps wasn't there, i i think , you there, i think, i think, you know, what, what the princess of wales has done, which was to do her own video, in her own words, was the only the only thing she could do. she has to reclaim her

own narrative. but even now she's managed to she's managed to that. there's still to do that. but there's still trolling course. i mean, trolling her, of course. i mean, they still i mean, it is they are still i mean, it is extraordinary. i mean, there's this who's who in the, this bloke who's who was in the, who was the duke and duchess who was in the duke and duchess of sussex, documentary who's saying you know , it's all saying that, you know, it's all ai and stuff like that. i mean, there are still people doing that, but i think in britain, i think that the sort of responsible, media have now understood that, you know, we need to sort of i think there's a different it's interesting when you say trolling her. >> difference >> i think i see a difference between people who are going on there saying horrible things there and saying horrible things about mother with about this young mother with three children who's got the weight the on her weight of the world on her shoulders saying horrible things to there's a different to her. but there's a different side analysis online for side of the analysis online for me, are people who me, which are those people who are footage can't be are saying this footage can't be true isn't and what true, this isn't real. and what that to me is that the that says to me is that the trust has gone, and the fact that people can't tell the difference between an ai, well, that was the real image is a bit scary, i completely agree, but that was the that was the

problem with that mother's day photograph, which was that it was sort of because it had been doctored. >> everyone, it sort of fuelled all of those silly rumours and actually turned out it was actually it turned out it was just a sort of innocent old, you know, i'm just going to move that sort. >> william didn't do a very good photograph. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> typical husband. >> exactly. >> the pical husband. >> exactly. >> the photographer. >> i'm the photographer. >> i'm the photographer. >> has any husband ever taken a good of their wife? good photograph of their wife? i mean, let's be yeah, but mean, let's be honest. yeah, but so sort of. so it spiralled. so it sort of. so it spiralled. but it is, it is about i think this is a really interesting story about how the internet has just our just really got under all our skins we just need to take skins and we just need to take one step back. mean, you know, one step back. i mean, you know, you've got to you've got to understand that, you know, there is no regulation out is absolutely no regulation out there. know, we're there. and, you know, we're we're regulated all we're in the we're regulated all of are heavily regulated. you of us are heavily regulated. you know, regulated, the know, gb news regulated, the daily so we daily mail regulated. so we facebook regulated. no. facebook not regulated. no. twitter tiktok twitter not regulated. tiktok completely off the scale regulated to some extent. >> there of course, rules >> there are of course, rules about what you can and can't say and hate speech or inciting violence. >> but of this is hate >> but none of this is hate speech. >> is just random

speculation. >> what does that look like? >> what does that look like? >> do you want that >> like what do you want that regulation internet to regulation of the internet to look because no such thing look like? because no such thing as internet. there's as the internet. there's facebook, twitter, facebook, there's twitter, there's there's there's rumble, there's telegram. i mean, one of telegram. well i mean, one of the main, one of the main problems the social media problems with the social media sites is that have always sites is that they have always rejected notion that they rejected the notion that they are form publisher. >> yeah, that's right. they say we platforms. we are we are platforms. we are platforms individual platforms for individual expression, of expression, freedom of expression, freedom of expression they the expression. so they use the freedom of laws really to freedom of speech laws really to take the mickey out of everybody else. so they, they, they really have. >> but when you say everybody else, you mean kind of mainstream establishment media. >> well, actually, mean >> well, actually, i mean mainstream i mainstream establishment. i mean, who basically has, mean, anyone who basically has, you know, has a, you know, if gb news has a platform, the bbc has a platform, you know, the daily mail has a platform, the telegraph platform. you telegraph has a platform. you have have a platform, you have if you have a platform, you have if you have a platform, you have a responsibility. yeah. not to take mickey to to take the mickey and not to just things as you go just make things up as you go along, is what people are doing. >> yeah, but my worry and we talk about it regularly on this show that my worry is with

show is that my worry is with more censorship, which as we know now is being encouraged by china, they china, by russia, that they deliberately west deliberately want the west to have they're ones have similar they're the ones who we don't i don't think we want that, but have. want that, but they have. >> but thing is, they are >> but the thing is, they are the ones who are taking advantage of lack of advantage of the of the lack of regulation as regulation on the internet, as we've the story today we've seen with the story today in telegraph, which is that in the telegraph, which is that they are all these they are there are all these russian troll factories, they, they, they, you know, they they, they, you know, yes, they have censorship , but really have censorship, but it's really just facade china . just a facade in china. >> yeah. well, i mean, the fact that someone like an app like tiktok isn't allowed for children in china, like they have extreme censorship. and i don't think we want to live in a world. >> but what's interesting is that don't let they don't that they don't let they don't let their children app. let their children see that app. i remember years and i remember years ago, years and years having a conversation years ago, having a conversation with an executive google, and with an executive at google, and she said to me, no one, none of the none of the top brass at google will let their children. they will let them have the internet in their house. and isn't that and so what's that got everybody else's kids? exactly. everyone else's kids ,

exactly. everyone else's kids, to watch porn and to have their brains filled with absolute nonsense . but not our children. nonsense. but not our children. >> but was talking about this >> but i was talking about this the other day. >> . >> china. >> china. >> so produces this tiktok >> so china produces this tiktok app' >> so china produces this tiktok app, corrupts everybody. app, which corrupts everybody. but can't have it in but oh no, we can't have it in our country. but oh no, we can't have it in our that's y. but oh no, we can't have it in our that's for children, though. >> that's for children, though. that's my point. mean, but we that's my point. i mean, but we aren't children. we are adults, that's my point. i mean, but we areni children. we are adults, that's my point. i mean, but we areni don'tren. we are adults, that's my point. i mean, but we areni don'tren. infantilizing s, and i don't like infantilizing adults us what we can adults to tell us what we can and look and can't look at. >> but i can remember i talked about this last week writing a story david cameron having about this last week writing a stbig david cameron having about this last week writing a stbig seminarivid cameron having about this last week writing a stbig seminar wichameron having about this last week writing a stbig seminar with google having about this last week writing a stbig seminar with google anding a big seminar with google and all the websites, and all the all the websites, and there was going to be an all you had watch port to access had to watch port to access porn. you had to opt in. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> and never happened. yeah, >> and it never happened. yeah, yeah. because people be yeah. so because people would be embarrassed in to have embarrassed to opt in to have porn. so it would have restricted kids now at porn. so it would have restrion d kids now at porn. so it would have restrion their; now at porn. so it would have restrion their phone.>w at porn on their phone. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> that's outrageous . yeah. >> and i remember him also having a big discussion with google some, you know, google about, some, you know, some not returning some searches not returning a google search. so, you know, like really horrible searches, like really horrible searches, like were looking for like if you were looking for child porn or something, you know, agreed to sort of know, google agreed to sort of not return a search for that.

yeah. and so , so there were yeah. and so, so there were early attempts to and early attempts to try and contain it, they've never contain it, but they've never really gone anywhere. >> worry is, whilst we're >> the my worry is, whilst we're all, as you say, we all certainly lose our minds over this story and call for these this story and we call for these voices down. we might voices to be shut down. we might regret that when you might have a government in power that you don't agree with, when keir starmer is there and he does well and he doesn't want he doesn't want the daily mail and right commentators this right wing commentators this could you could end up could end up you could end up twisted your own petard. twisted by your own petard. >> are, we know, because >> we are, we know, because don't the best the of >> we are, we know, because don good the best the of >> we are, we know, because don good what est the of >> we are, we know, because don good what ist the of >> we are, we know, because don good what i would of >> we are, we know, because don good what i would say. of >> we are, we know, because don good what i would say. i of the good is what i would say. i mean, we've i mean, there's never a problem with that never been a problem with that sort of thing britain before sort of thing in britain before with press. the press has with the press. the press has always very free and very, always been very free and very, very throated. there's always been very free and very, very beenroated. there's always been very free and very, very been that d. there's always been very free and very, very been that d. th�*of 's never been that kind of censorship. don't censorship. i don't think censoring internet some censoring the internet to some or just censoring the internet to some orjust introducing some basic parameters you know, parameters or just, you know, some that people have some guidelines that people have to would would lead to adhere to would it would lead to that. >> what about the royal family? they this we're not going to they are this we're not going to see her, the star of the show for a very time. yeah. for a very long time. yeah. suspect. yeah. the king is

struggling with his own recovery from or his treatment from cancer or his treatment from cancer or his treatment from cancer or his treatment from cancer . from cancer or his treatment from cancer. harry and meghan. >> to be sort of >> well, they seem to be sort of ignonng >> well, they seem to be sort of ignoring the whole thing completely, don't they? they they sent a private message, apparently. yeah. that's it. i mean, i mean, they really do need to apologise. can i just say that? i mean, because you know, is a major know, i'm stress is a major factor in cancer. i mean, you know, they have said much worse things about the king and, princess of wales. and i think anyone in, in the mainstream media has said, to be honest . media has said, to be honest. yeah, and, and well, i think , yeah, and, and well, i think, you know, occurred to me with this story as well because was the fact that she when i when she sat there talking the prince of wales and i very much felt like when she said, i didn't want to say anything of want to say anything because of the children. want to say anything because of the and dren. want to say anything because of the and i'en. want to say anything because of the and i can completely relate >> and i can completely relate to it's about the to that because it's about the time, particularly with younger children, about of children, about the timing of when tell so, you when you tell things. so, you know, i was separating from know, when i was separating from my chose my husband, i deliberately chose almost of them breaking almost the eve of them breaking up for christmas up from school for christmas because i didn't. i knew they

want they would need to have me close, with be at close, be at home with me, be at home my mum, you know, is home with my mum, you know, is the same i think her mother's remarkable. >> actually, she's never very far away, never very far. >> massively hands on, know. >> massively hands on, i know. for know them for through people who know them at the mommies, at school that the mommies, the grandma there on the grandma is always there on the touchline at the sports event. she someone off the school she gets someone off the school bus like she's very hands on. and that really moved and that that really moved me, actually, wanted actually, when she said i wanted to children my own to tell the children in my own time, three children. time, there's three children. when broke up from school, when they broke up from school, she have to be she didn't want to have to be pushed into it, because then she's got off for easter she's got them off for easter for or 3 weeks, and she can for 2 or 3 weeks, and she can talk to them and keep them close. >> i mean, they are quite lucky in that the children are still quite yeah. i mean, my quite young. yeah. i mean, my children often find things out about their father before about their father long before they're told. know they're told. do you know what i mean? it's funny. it's funny what find on the internet what they find on the internet or find on the or they find out on the internet. yeah. and i mean, obviously i no comparison, much smaller just think, smaller thing, but i just think, yeah, get that. it's very it's yeah, i get that. it's very it's very important to try and manage the children not everything the children but not everything else really else because it's just really

frightening that frightening knowing that your mother they be mother is ill and they will be very disabled. very probably very disabled. >> a lot of questions >> and i have a lot of questions and, and also kids on the playground accrual. >> yes. >> yes. >> absolutely horrible and much better exposed to kids better that exposed to the kids on playground. on the playground. >> yeah, mean i mean, do >> just yeah, i mean i mean, do you know, can just tell you a you know, can i just tell you a quick story, which is that for quite a long time, my daughter genuinely believed that my husband because husband was a lizard because somebody school somebody in the school playground had to her, do playground had said to her, do you the whole of the you know the whole of the british government are all lizards? come, lizards? and she used to come, she this recently. she told me this recently. she said to down in said she used to come down in the the night and just the middle of the night and just check to see that we hadn't turned what turned into lizards. what >> no, no. >> no, no. >> well, you know what little children like, know, and children are like, you know, and someone in the playground had said, you know, your dad and your they're lizards. your mum, they're both lizards. gosh. to me the gosh. and she said to me the other day we were having a conversation about said, conversation about it. she said, i be in your brother, i used to be in your brother, you me and my brother used you know, me and my brother used to talk about this. used to to talk about this. we used to have what we have conversations. what are we going parents are going to do if our parents are actually you know, actually listens? so you know, with very suggestible. >> yeah. yeah, of course they are, right. >> sarah, us know >> thank you. sarah, let us know your thoughts this morning.

vaiews@gbnews.com your thoughts this morning. vaiews@gjust ws.com your thoughts this morning. vaiews@gjustws.com this everybody just handled this badly? it all badly? i think we handled it all right. weren't too prurient, right. we weren't too prurient, were we've were we? well, i think we've been empathetic. >> yeah. now, up >> yeah. yeah. now, coming up next, politicians next, senior politicians have been and there's going been summoned. and there's going to the to be a briefing today with the director after director of security after a chinese attack, which chinese cyber attack, which was designed to get details about all of us voting in the last general election, 40 million of us that got all details. us that got all our details. i sort of guess they got that. anyway really? >> i don't see how that i'm. i don't see that affects our don't see how that affects our democracy. my issue. and democracy. that's my issue. and that's being to us. >> us. >> but we're going to we're >> but we're going to get we're going

gb news. well, it seems china hasn't only been out to get our royal family, they've been targeting sunni senior british politicians as part of a cyber backed attack which has spurred a crisis meeting in westminster today. >> that's three mps and >> that's right. three mps and one all harsh critics of one peer. all harsh critics of beijing have been summoned an beijing have been summoned to an urgent briefing by parliament's director of security, whilst

deputy prime minister oliver dowden is expected to address parliament let's parliament later today. let's bnngin parliament later today. let's bring in tobias ellwood, the tory mp who's the former chairman the defence select committee. >> tobias, good morning to you. can if the chinese, can you explain if the chinese, as we understand on our front pages, personal details pages, access personal details of 40 million british voters, how does that impact our democracy? because i just rather assumed they know all about us anyway. >> well, that is a perhaps if i say a flippant comment to make about china , who's actually about china, who's actually harvesting data to understand who we are, what our views are, and try and nudge our nation to have debates and to have disagreements , to sow political disagreements, to sow political discord. that's what their operations are all about. it's now common modus operandi for countries not just china, but russia, iran and so forth that, spend an awful lot of money trying to distract governments such as the uk, who are critical of those countries . and that's of those countries. and that's the case with those mps that you

mentioned. they seek to exploit our our openness, our transparency , our freedoms of transparency, our freedoms of expression. are you talking about that just earlier to raise tensions, to raise disagreements and conspiracy here in the uk? and i'm pleased that the deputy prime minister is going to finally hold china to account and to challenge this because otherwise these behaviours become normalised and it's worth stressing. it's not just the uk that's being targeted in this way, but many countries across the west. so we do need to establish not just a resilience to be able to defend ourselves and protect ourselves and call this out, but also what are the international standards for us to able to operate given that to be able to operate given that the digital is now the digital sphere is now becoming dominate every becoming to dominate every aspect of our lives, i'm a bit baffled , tobias, i can't lie. baffled, tobias, i can't lie. >> so just we just work out, just explain to us the danger, though, because there are two issues here, aren't there? there issues here, aren't there? there is the surveillance and the security services, whereby every

country is watching every other country. we can sit here naively and pretend we don't do it, but we're doing it as well. and china are doing that at us. but i you're talking i think what you're talking about bot farms , the about are the bot farms, the industrial scale manipulation of the narrative along social media lines . but that just takes lines. but that just takes really firm political leadership in this country, doesn't it? and we just have to ignore a lot of it . it. >> well, we simply can't ignore it because you're absolutely right about there's bot farms and the introduction of artificial intelligence. and quantum computing is allowing countries such as china to do this on a scale that we've never imagined before. and if you can then see how they can influence social media by agreeing and liking certain conspiracy theories, or agreeing and liking certain smears about, let's say, parliamentarians and so forth, that could affect the outcomes of elections and so on. and that's why it's important that we absolutely have a robust capability. the uk national security act that was introduced last year looks at hostile

activity from foreign states or indeed those acting in those countries as well. what are the espionage offences that we can then point in that direction. but there is a bigger picture, as you say, that we need to agree on what the international norms are, and we're really nowhere close to that, simply because these countries operate in isolation. with access to in isolation. but with access to our internet, with access to all in, in order to harvest that data itself. but it's also more blunt. i did a visit to taiwan last year. i praised the democracy that i saw there . i democracy that i saw there. i then got a letter from the chinese embassy saying no good comes to those who interfere in other states affairs. now, i had to take that letter to the speaker of the house, and i'm pleased that he then approached the chinese embassy to say, you cannot speak to parliamentarians, you cannot threaten parliamentarians in this way. but has now this way. but this has now become norm from china. i'm become the norm from china. i'm afraid to threaten us because we're critical about what china

is doing and where china wants to take the world, but what's the solution? >> because it sounds a little bit you're nudging towards >> because it sounds a little biworld you're nudging towards >> because it sounds a little biworld y0|whichidging towards >> because it sounds a little biworld y0|which we ng towards >> because it sounds a little biworld y0|which we have nards >> because it sounds a little biworld y0|which we have our s a world in which we have our freedom expression freedom of expression compromised so as to somehow avoid the, the, the nefarious intent of china. but what are you going to do by doing that? is become more chinese and shut down the british population? >> no. what we're seeing today is china being called out for it. there's been a hesitance , it. there's been a hesitance, and i think we've discussed this on your program in the past of not knowing where china is going to what is their term to go, what is their long term intentions. they seeking to intentions. they are seeking to exploit, timidity of exploit, perhaps the timidity of our global order. they want their interpretation. our global order. they want their linking)retation. our global order. they want their linking up ation. our global order. they want their linking up with. our global order. they want their linking up with other they're linking up with other nafions they're linking up with other nations as well. they're tying in other countries in their one belt, one road programs. so we're ending up getting a splintering of our world as you imply, in fact, into two spheres of competing influence the west andindeed of competing influence the west and indeed then the china, russia, iran axis and then much of the rest of the world, the global south, for example ,

budget at all, he pledged to put it up and hasn't done so. and i think most people would, given the precarious times we live in. i think most people would like to see the defence spending greatly enhanced and our armed forces giving the given the military wherewithal. they need weapons, ammunition, kit, military wherewithal. they need weapons, ammunition, kit , to be weapons, ammunition, kit, to be able to be the fighting the supreme fighting force they once were. yeah. unfortunately our military marvellous people though they are , are now in though they are, are now in declining in numbers and also declining in numbers and also declining in numbers and also declining in efficiency. >> isn't this what happens, pierce, when you have a culture andifs pierce, when you have a culture and it's not just the conservatives. every political party that is that decides everything based on focus groups. they will clearly have done a focus that has said done a focus group that has said , we feel our national , we feel that our national safety top of our safety is the top of our priority as voters, and we priority list. as voters, and we want something done about want something to be done about it, then they go and it, but then they go and do something that doesn't resonate

with people. >> mean, this isn't >> well, i mean, this isn't going at going to make any difference at all own personal all to rishi's own personal position and the government's position and the government's position . and if we we've seen position. and if we we've seen that the tory councillors in a poll are talking about wanting penny mordaunt as leader, mind you, it was only 390 councillors and in third place came nigel farage, who was yet isn't the leader or even a member of the conservative party yet. but as i've said, many times on this programme, if nigel farage was leading the conservatives, they would have a chance of winning , would have a chance of winning, which they don't. at the moment it looks like being a landslide to labour and dreadful for the country's future . instead, country's future. instead, instead of addressing this and coming out guns blazing, to use that, they only nuclear thing, rishi is facing is his own election, which is going to be a disaster . disaster. >> he's up in barrow because of course, that's where they're building the new trident submarine. but a trident submarine. but a trident

submarine is billions of pounds and there's £20 million. >> i mean, i mean, it's peanuts. i'm afraid it's nonsense. and this really is indicative of how this really is indicative of how this government seems to be completely, distanced from reality. and i don't think they have any kind of concept of what people want if they did, for example, the local elections coming up , we example, the local elections coming up, we have the mayoral election in london, which is a very significant election and resonates across the country . resonates across the country. why didn't the conservatives put up a serious candidate and put all their efforts behind the candidate , instead of which candidate, instead of which we've got this rather unfortunate woman who keeps making terrible gaffes when she speaks , who looks like handing speaks, who looks like handing it back to the dreadful sadiq khan, who's going to, i mean, and it could have been a conservative victory which would have actually raised morale. but the conservatives decided they had no chance of winning,

weren't going to bother. so they've let this hopeless candidate go forward. >> there was a time when i thought there would be a grid in number 10, and on the grid they'd have all the announcements they're going to make. you would announcements they're going to mafiring you would announcements they're going to mafiring off you would announcements they're going to mafiring off really you would announcements they're going to mafiring off really interesting uld be firing off really interesting policy ideas. >> policy as it's called, planning and strategy. >> yeah. but you said we had a budget and then it sank without trace the week after the budget. instead of talking about the cut in insurance, we had in national insurance, we had a big on extremism with big debate on extremism with michael gove. yeah. >> why it's the whole thing is it doesn't sort of why. then again, it doesn't resonate with the . it's completely the electorate. it's completely wrong. and i mean, going back to the election here is the mayoral election here is a golden opportunity actually for penny , if she had stood penny mordaunt, if she had stood for mayor because she's probably going to lose her seat in the next election. yeah. so she would be a very big mistake to make her the leader , before the make her the leader, before the election and then have her lose her seat . that would be her seat. that would be terrible. and again, a gift to the labour party.

>> the people say that penny mordaunt would quite like the leadership now because. because if you're prime minister in a constituency, people think, oh, i quite like to vote. i quite like having my local mp as the prime minister. it might give her few more thousand votes, her a few more thousand votes, might save seat. might save her seat. >> don't there's a hope >> i don't think there's a hope in of her saving her seat. in hell of her saving her seat. i her majority is less i think her majority is less than thousand and i don't than a thousand and i don't think 15,000. it's 15,000. think it's 15,000. it's 15,000. >> you looked at >> sorry, but if you looked at that mail on sunday that poll in the mail on sunday recently, need a majority of recently, you need a majority of 20,000 of 20,000 to be sure, sure of winning. yeah. >> well, i mean, she could lose her yeah, but if she stood her seat. yeah, but if she stood as bit of as mayor, she's got a bit of resonance with the people. even though i think she's a lightweight, she can win. i don't wield a ceremony. and she hasn't proved herself in any role she's had other than wielding the sword . yeah, but wielding the sword. yeah, but that's just a bit of showbiz. yeah, but i mean, you know, the party, the conservative party has lost its its kind of instinct , its political instinct, its political instinct, its political instinct, how to actually engage with the electorate. >> i mean, if susan hall, the

conservatives candidate for london mayor, was here, she probably would like to defend herself against accusations that she's quite useless. but she's quite so useless. but i completely see where you're coming from in that she wasn't what you might call a blue fibbon what you might call a blue ribbon candidate. and she came out of nowhere, and most people probably wouldn't know her name even exactly. even to this day. exactly. >> i mean, she's a one >> and, i mean, she's a one policy, which ulez ulez. and, policy, which is ulez ulez. and, sadiq has very cleverly , sadiq khan has very cleverly, rather buried that for the time being. >> i have to say , i like susan, >> i have to say, i like susan, susan hall, susan hall when we've met her, we met her at the very pleasant and also off camera. >> she was saying, you know, they want me to do my >> she was saying, you know, theyand want me to do my >> she was saying, you know, theyand do want me to do my >> she was saying, you know, theyand do my: me to do my >> she was saying, you know, theyand do my makeupio my hair and do my makeup differently. and want to differently. and they want to brush up, said. but it's brush me up, she said. but it's just not me and this me and just not me and this is me and take or leave me. and take me or leave me. and i thought, use that. you thought, use that. then you like, tell the public that, like be authentic. >> think more londoners >> well, i think more londoners have of count binface, and have heard of count binface, and i he'll probably i think he'll probably do rather well election he's well in this election if he's standing against the leadership of given a no support. >> i mean, when did you last see rishi with yeah, rishi sunak with with. yeah, that's we

that's the problem. before we let yes. you've advised let you go. yes. you've advised the family the years. the royal family over the years. yes. she do on yes. how well did she do on friday catherine. >> well it was tremendous and it was moving . yeah. and it was very moving. yeah. and it was very moving. yeah. and it was very moving. yeah. and it was very brave. courageous s and she did it with great dignity and it had me in tears. it nearly had me in tears again. no and i hope it does silence all those ghastly conspiracy theorist cretins who've been peddung theorist cretins who've been peddling such appalling rubbish for so long and so distressing rubbish. and i hope it puts an end to it properly. >> and she's now on holiday with her family, as she should be absolutely certain her mum won't be far away. >> i'm sure. and i mean there are very strong family. it's wonderful to see the family come together. think this is very together. i think this is very uniting for the royal family as well. of every tragedy comes well. out of every tragedy comes something positive. yeah, and kate's a positive person and she made that clear in her message. it was a terrifically good message. yeah. for the whole country in the sense of that she

is bearing this terrible affliction with such, such dignity. >> i think that's absolutely right, pierce. >> we wish her well. >> we wish her well. >> thank you. we do now . as >> thank you. we do now. as tractors roll into westminster today as the government facing a rural revolt of british farmers, there we go. sign there saying no farmers, no food. that's the campaign that is trying to alert us all to the plight of our farmers. and boy, do we need them in existence. this is britain's on

story on the front of the telegraph, china and russia behind slurs on the princess. so they're talking about hostile state like china, russia state actors like china, russia and iran whipping up social media , frenzied attacks media frenzy, frenzied attacks on princess catherine and so we've got this weird atmosphere at the moment where we're basically saying , what's going basically saying, what's going on beijing? they're on with beijing? they're attacking they're attacking us, they're infiltrating us. all of this stuff, surely. mean, i'm as stuff, surely. i mean, i'm as baffled are, but maybe baffled as you are, but maybe matthew be able enlighten us matthew be able to enlighten us towards . towards matthew. >> well, i'm quite. >> well, i'm not quite. >> well, i'm not quite. >> mean, what's quite >> i mean, what's quite interesting about today's interesting about about today's story a little story is there's a little implication, political implication, political implication , that implication in it, that originally this was actually discovered time ago because discovered some time ago because it back the it actually relates back to the cyber attack was between august 2021 and october 2022, and it was discovered and then obviously it takes a while to do it. so apparently last year the government going impose government was going to impose extra chinese extra travel bans on chinese representatives, particularly those who have responsible those who have been responsible for the human rights crackdown. the extra law in hong kong quaking in their boots. well, do you think they'd be quaking in their boots that? even

their boots at that? but even that exactly massive measure that not exactly massive measure that not exactly massive measure that abeyance, put that was put into abeyance, put on pause. at about the same time, david cameron, david cameron, was was appointed foreign secretary. so the cynics are saying was that a coincidence ? coincidence? >> yeah. because cameron, if we remember when he was prime minister, famously had a pint in the at chequers, he the local pub at chequers, he absolutely pursued aggressively and also in his post post prime ministerial money making, he also did a lot with the chinese as well. >> so, so basically this is this i think this is part of a pattern where sceptics are saying within the within the tory party actually saying tory party actually are saying cameron tory party actually are saying cam> but i'm still baffled about this in the this because, look, in the sunday times yesterday, it's in the today, emma, sunday times yesterday, it's in the chinese today, emma, sunday times yesterday, it's in the chinese are today, emma, sunday times yesterday, it's in the chinese are abouty, emma, sunday times yesterday, it's in the chinese are about toemma, the chinese are about to probably spend £1 billion investing electric vehicle investing in an electric vehicle battery plant in coventry. 6000 jobs. hurrah! we're all thrilled about that. or are we? or are we chinese state because it's everything is the chinese state and we freely allow tiktok in this country which which they don't allow in their own country. >>

w— >> but every time kids anyway. exactly. every time you turn exactly. and every time you turn on your time you're on your every time you're looking tiktok , it says, can looking at tiktok, it says, can you turn on your camera? la la la la la. and worry is la la la la. and the worry is that mps and people like that have been spied on and bugged within parliament. within the houses of parliament. potentially, whole potentially, this whole thing about wales, about the princess of wales, apparently the nation. our destabilising the nation. our very fabric our very the fabric of our institutions . so there's this institutions. so there's this odd climate the where odd climate at the moment where we and we know, obviously we we are and we know, obviously we know these are hostile states. i'm that that is new, i'm not saying that that is new, but wonder whether this but i just wonder whether this is smokescreen something is a smokescreen for something else that's on. else that's going on. else that's going the americans >> but, but, but the americans hacked the phone of angela merkel when she was a german chancellor. >> so the americans are probably already listening to you. yeah >> so everybody's at it. they're all at. >> and that's why we have things like and somebody, gchq like m15 and m16, somebody, gchq , isn't that their job? >> gchq and charleton is the most sophisticated listening device probably in the world. exactly. are doing the exactly. and we are doing the same chinese . same to the chinese. >> our spies need to >> well, then our spies need to be and our security be better and our security measures better. and measures need to be better. and our mps to be more careful. our mps need to be more careful. >> they just, they were

>> and if they just, they were just mean to pay the just too mean to pay for the electoral commission. >> absolutely. you >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, you can library and can go to your local library and copy photocopy it for copy it out, photocopy it for free, for free. but yeah, i mean, all all marketeers buy it. so it's a slightly so i think it's a slightly overblown story, think the overblown story, but i think the politics it, attack politics of it, the, the attack on cameron of course, on cameron is and of course, oliver dowden will make a speech in the commons today about that. >> will be one of the >> and that will be one of the questions course, questions because of course, cameron secretary, cameron being foreign secretary, won't comments. won't be in the comments. >> because can't >> exactly. because he can't answer questions, answer the questions, because, you he remains the you know, he remains in the lords. mind. but of lords. never mind. but of course, to coming lords. never mind. but of coursas to coming lords. never mind. but of cours as prime to coming lords. never mind. but of coursas prime minister. coming lords. never mind. but of coursas prime minister. so ming lords. never mind. but of coursas prime minister. so we|g back as prime minister. so we hear occasionally every other week briefing on there. >> don't believe that the tory party not have as party will not have him back as their leader. >> trust i absolutely i was >> trust me, i absolutely i was at association at a conservative association the i was doing the other week. i was doing a fundraiser a mate, fundraiser for a mate, and i said, so how many of you would like see david? didn't like to see david? we didn't even back as foreign secretary. >> what about penny tory leader? >> what are the grass roots? think about penny, they think >> what are the grass roots? thinkverth penny, they think >> what are the grass roots? thinkvery nice nny, they think >> what are the grass roots? thinkvery nice and they think she's very nice and they think she's got nice hair. >> good enough. >> it's just not good enough. are the best candidates are these the best candidates for minister? for being prime minister? >> needs the department >> she needs the department around . give strength. >> she needs the department arorno,. give strength. >> she needs the department arorno, igive strength. >> she needs the department arorno, i don't, strength. >> she needs the department arorno, i don't, i strength. >> she needs the department arorno, i don't, i thought|.

>> she needs the department arorno, i don't, i thought that >> no, i don't, i thought that was ludicrous outfit, but i'm was a ludicrous outfit, but i'm the only one thinks that. the only one who thinks that. >> thought it was ludicrous to him. i w- il this is ridiculous. >> i mean, this is ridiculous. is the we've got? is is this the best we've got? is this the we've got? and she this the best we've got? and she won't prime minister won't be prime minister anyway. she best. you know, she would be at best. you know, the opposition, the leader of the opposition. >> got to hold her >> well, she's got to hold her seat, which. >> see what. yeah, exactly, exactly. going look exactly. that's going to look great stories great pulling these stories together with together and particularly with the this, this the reaction that this, this furore the health journey furore over the health journey that the princess of wales has been on in the last few weeks, god knows it feels like it's about six months, but it's only about six months, but it's only a matter of weeks. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> we were sitting here when the statement was released about the photo of the photo and so much of the rhetoric is we have rhetoric around this is we have to down on disinformation. to clamp down on disinformation. >> have the >> we have to silence the internet. we have to keep people from where on from speaking. where are you on that, because my gut that, matthew? because my gut instinct careful that we instinct is be careful that we don't bring i think we should let a thousand, a thousand voices have their say, and then we can ourselves decide what, what is important. >> i actually think it's really important . >> i actually think it's really important. it's going to be quite unpopular because remember

media much media studies, which was much mocked and 90s, mocked in the 80s and 90s, actually, think we do need to actually, i think we do need to make our in make sure that our kids in school can have actually the sense can the sense that they can do the filtering themselves rather than relying somebody it's relying on somebody else. it's kind literacy rather kind of media literacy rather than studies, i would say. and actually, that's a good actually, that's quite a good skill you can skill because it means you can examine an argument instead of good oxbridge fashion, as good old oxbridge fashion, as it were, you were, very just examining, you know, can good point. know, so if you can good point. you look at sift you know, look at and sift through tiktoks and it was. >> yeah. through tiktoks and it was. >> and|. through tiktoks and it was. >> and emma, there was video >> and emma, there was the video of the princess was of the princess of wales, was put one of the put through because one of the theories, of course, is it is nuts is that it is an ai generated video. so somebody had put some ai put it through some ai assessment software and concluded that it was 97% likely that that is an ai concluded that it was 97% likely that that is an a! video . that's that that is an a! video. that's not really her. then somebody put a picture of princess diana through the same software, and that concluded that it was a! generated and it was a genuine picture. >> and it was 30 years before, 30 years ago, you know, so and the rest so there is something about creating another generation thinkers generation of critical thinkers who can scrutinise content and decide truth , what is

decide what is truth, what is fiction, and what is deliberately manipulated . deliberately manipulated. >> i just find this all so depressing. i mean, that is absolutely ludicrous. people have way much on their have way too much time on their hands they're doing nonsense hands if they're doing nonsense like yes and the nastiness like that. yes and the nastiness and kind you know, and all the kind of, you know, all conspiracy theories have all the conspiracy theories have been, think, really vile. all the conspiracy theories have been, she nk, really vile. all the conspiracy theories have been, she saideally vile. all the conspiracy theories have been, she said whatvile. all the conspiracy theories have been, she said what she said okay. she said what she said she's clearly not well, she's been incredibly brave. leave her alone on that one. but in terms of whole can we of the whole kind of can we crack on the trolls? should crack down on the trolls? should we? you i'm the only one we? you know, i'm the only one who's been saying all along the internet is vile, vile place. internet is a vile, vile place. the whole online world is a horrible place for our children. i no, it is. and i like no, it is, it is. and look we've got to. we've look where we've got to. we've got generation young people got a generation of young people signed and signed off with anxiety and depression because they're not. there's no social contact with other people. look other people. they can't look other people. they can't look other in face. they other people in the face. they get out by the idea of get stressed out by the idea of going an interview to going to an interview and to talking people to face. the talking people face to face. the country's doldrums. country's in the doldrums. you know, the country is falling apart. >> g! fi- @ to bev's view. >> it goes back to bev's view. they shouldn't have a smartphone before they're 16. >> that's i've been saying >> no, that's i've been saying all the all along, but also when the government going to government say they're going to

crack they can't crack down, they they can't even , they can't even , you know, they can't even regulate basic regulate the most basic websites. it's all just websites. so it's all just absolute chaos way. absolute chaos all the way. >> appi absolute chaos all the way. >> app i was going to >> an ipad app i was going to say in scotland, of course they can't. can't have to can't. they can't have got to stop mps, msps looking at getting chinese because stop mps, msps looking at getting all chinese because stop mps, msps looking at getting all busy ese because stop mps, msps looking at getting all busy watching|se they're all busy watching rangers their kids, they're all busy watching ran at 's their kids, they're all busy watching ran at least their kids, they're all busy watching ran at least they're their kids, they're all busy watching ran at least they're outdoors ids, but at least they're outdoors doing something . doing something. >> you know, there was this view that mps should not use tiktok because chinese. because of the chinese. i pointed this in the mail pointed this out in the mail recently. was the mp that is recently. who was the mp that is still grant still using tiktok? grant shapps, to be our shapps, who happens to be our secretary of state for defence for, interestingly. for, well, interestingly. so he's not taking it. >> today they were. the new >> so today they were. the new tiktok was announced tiktok in was announced yesterday. will be the new yesterday. it will be the new 87. and he's as the tiktok 87. and he's known as the tiktok taoiseach obsessed 87. and he's known as the tiktok taoistiktok. obsessed 87. and he's known as the tiktok taoistiktok. howzssed with tiktok. and that's how he made the sort of. made his name as the sort of. he's a 37. as the social media king. trivialise. i was king. we trivialise. i was watching tv last night and watching irish tv last night and they montage of his they put a montage of his tiktoks he's not worried tiktoks on, so he's not worried about phone being about his phone being hacked. obviously but obviously that's in ireland, but that's an indication. >> but secretary defence >> but secretary state defence will being will know his phone is being hacked, on on hacked, so he's carrying on on tiktok obviously tiktok because he obviously i mean, got separate mean, unless he's got a separate device that he uses for device that he just uses for tiktok maybe. >> still. but it's >> but but but still. but it's

doing in the countryside. we're being looking after the countryside for centuries, where people that have ruined towns now telling us that we need to stop growing food and plant wild flowers . our family have been flowers. our family have been farming in berkshire for nearly 500 years. this may be the last year that we are growing food, because this government and all the political classes want us to grow wild flowers, and we are having the wearisome of packing and growing food is we're not making any money. each day we get another regulation from the government . we are competing government. we are competing against food from in being imported from abroad, which is using chemicals that we can't use in this country. and i fear for food security in this country. and we had a debate in the house of commons last week. the chamber was empty. our politicians need to hold their headsin politicians need to hold their heads in shame, and this is time for us to bring the countryside to westminster and tell them they need to rethink. we need to

grow food in the uk. unfortunately this madness about growing wild flowers is unfortunately this madness about growing wildflowers is going growing wild flowers is going throughout europe and in america, and people say, well, we can import food from from south america . south america are south america. south america are cutting down rainforests , reduce cutting down rainforests, reduce soya for the uk markets. we're just exporting our our green credentials . and that's the credentials. and that's the reason today that we're protesting . last time i protesting. last time i protested when i was at college in 1979, i don't know why i was protesting about, but this is the first time i'm protesting since then . that's a long time ago. >> just explain instead . so >> just explain instead. so you're going to have to grow the wild flowers. what would you ordinarily be growing, colin? >> we'll be growing wheat. barley oilseed rape, maize for cattle feed. and they're paying us £850 a hectare of your money to grow wild flowers and they're telling us that we are destroying the environment . our destroying the environment. our farm in berkshire was there

before heathrow airport. our farm was there before they built slough station. our farm was there before they built canals . there before they built canals. but hey ho, my cows and me as a farmer are blamed for destroying the planet. what happens if you ignore them? >> if you ignore the government and you say no, you can get lost with your wild flowers. i'm keeping my crops here. what happens then? >> bankrupt because they're >> i go bankrupt because they're not giving us. they're giving a subsidy to grow wild flowers. we don't get any subsidy for growing food at the moment. we're losing money, growing food. every farmer in this country is subsidising the food production . production. >> so i thought post—brexit, colin, this was supposed to be, halcyon days for farmers . halcyon days for farmers. clearly not. >> it should have been . but our >> it should have been. but our politicians of all political classes have wrecked it for us, have wrecked it. you know, we can produce most of the food that the uk residents need to

eat, apart from obviously bananas and grapes and oranges, but we can produce all the flour we can produce all the meat, we can produce all the vegetables . can produce all the vegetables. but we have a government and political classes that are determined to import our food from third world countries , from third world countries, where they don't have the same regulations that we have each day. we're given another set of regulations by our government . regulations by our government. it is absolutely appalling. well, we've got more people in the office doing paperwork to grow food than actually growing food. >> colin, you have our support. you really do. and i hope it makes an impact today in westminster, farmer and landowner colin rayner there. >> and we'll be there bringing you all the pictures when they arrive. >> colin. good luck. and five british buy british whenever you can. >> whenever you can buy british, particularly farm food. right up next is oliver dowden is set to tell mps that china is behind this attack on the electoral commission last year. how can we protect our cybersecurity from beijing with britain's newsroom

gb news? >> well. china's targeted senior british politicians as part of a state backed cyber attack, which is spurring a crisis which has spurred a crisis. >> meeting in westminster later today, keir today, labour leader keir starmer has echoed calls from the government, saying that britain to wean itself off britain needs to wean itself off china. >> we're joining the studio now by isle of wight mp bob seely. bob, we're a little bit baffled by all this this morning. like governments routinely spy on one another. obviously that becomes almost easier in a in an internet age. but why the panic about this particular incident now? >> i think, simply put, because whoever controls data and information controls the future of the world. and this is about what sort of world we're going to be living in. not this month, not year, but actually in not this year, but actually in the the decades the course of the coming decades . china collects information for differenthuge amounts of data on collects huge amounts of data on its own people, effectively to

stop them bad thoughts stop them having bad thoughts about government. so this about the government. so this is full orwellian sort of data full on orwellian sort of data collection. they steal internet, sorry, they steal intellectual property because they want to turbocharge their industrial revolution. so they're just hoovering up data. they're picking up data like this because it's useful to know the addresses. maybe politicians . addresses. maybe politicians. it's useful to know the addresses of computer engineers in cambridge and oxford, designing the future, working on al. it'sjust designing the future, working on al. it's just useful to have ai. it's just useful to have this personal information, but also in 5 or 10 years time when you add that information to other information that you've got, you use a! and big data . got, you use a! and big data. you can start to manipulate this information to see how people think and to see how you can control humanity. >> the electoral watch, i >> but on the electoral watch, i mean, dowden is going to mean, oliver dowden is going to talk the deputy prime talk today. the deputy prime minister, about the cyber attack on electoral commission , but on the electoral commission, but the commission stuff, the electoral commission stuff, it's public document . you can it's a public document. you can go to the local library and reference what's on the electoral commission, who's there? >> and that's true. but you do

it one a time. don't it one at a time. what you don't do 45 million bits do is hoover up 45 million bits of and stick into of information and stick it into a server beijing. right. a server in beijing. right. >> they do with >> and what can they do with that information ? that should that information? that should disturb if you're looking for >> now, if you're looking for people's or looking people's addresses or looking for, say you picked for, let's say you picked up a target or the chinese services have picked a black male have picked up a black male target works in al in target who works in al in cambridge, or a politician who's up no good, or a spy or up to no good, or a spy or a government official in a sensitive role. it's just more information. it's their addresses, who they live with, etc. it's useful to have from why. >> in case you wish some harm on those people. >> physical harm? >> actual physical harm? >> actual physical harm? >> could be, but >> no? well, it could be, but actually more in actually much more likely in case want target them . case you want to target them. >> in what way, it depends who the target is. it depends the target is. and it depends what you're to get what you're trying to get a politician. could be to politician. it could be to influence to more influence them, to take a more benign line to china, somebody working a, an ai artificial working in a, an ai artificial intelligence factory or a laboratory in cambridge because you want to approach them, maybe, or you're building up a profile of them. so you need the bafic profile of them. so you need the basic information. but in future

it's about al and big data . so it's about al and big data. so information who controls information who controls information . information controls the future. that's the chinese approach and it's sadly the correct one. >> that sounds a bit like >> well, that sounds a bit like in order this war, we in order to win this war, we have also control the have to also control the information in this country. i think that would be mistake. think that would be a mistake. we to defend our own we have to defend our own information we have be information and we have to be much robust in our approach much more robust in our approach to china, more like china. to china, be more like china. >> no no no no no, hold on. okay. there is a subtle but massive difference. okay. there are there are visions of the are there are two visions of the future world. there is future of the world. there is effectively and effectively the russia and chinese which is al and chinese vision, which is al and big data will make will make well worse than that. murdering thugs will make revolutions against the state impossible. we want a future genuinely, where ai want a future genuinely, where a! and big data are used to ai and big data are used to fulfil and enable human life, but not to oppress humanity , but not to oppress humanity, right? and not to oppress freedom of thought. so the future of the world. there's two visions a closed society, open society . and the society. and the more information the societies information the closed societies can better. so we talk

can nick, the better. so we talk about robust bob. >> about this >> we've talked about this factory going to open in factory that's going to open in coventry, possibly later this year , 6000 jobs, £1 year or next year, 6000 jobs, £1 billion investment. should be billion investment. should we be doing those sort of deals? because aren't the chinese going to factory as a place to use that factory as a place to use that factory as a place to spy on people? >> i mean, not necessarily . this >> i mean, not necessarily. this is the this is the slight problem that we and my problem that we have. and my frustration this frustration with this government, which i support for the because doing the most part because it's doing really work. really important good work. we don't coherent and don't have a coherent and consistent approach to china, and we have to have that, you know, people, when they when they we can't, when folks they say we can't, when folks say shut ourselves to say we can't shut ourselves to off they're we off china, they're right. we can't. can be much more can't. but we can be much more robust about putting down our own markers like the australians do . and they still do big trade do. and they still do big trade with china. we do more with china. we can do much more to protect whilst to protect ourselves whilst accepting welcoming some accepting and welcoming some down some. well, i mean, look, you don't take you don't allow the chinese to buy a! and big data, right? you allow them data, right? you do allow them to invest less sensitive to invest in less less sensitive technology less sensitive technology and less sensitive investment. but i see nothing wrong. >> we're running out of time,

bob. but what? we've just been talking a farmer who isn't talking to a farmer who isn't allowed grow food. he to allowed to grow food. he has to grow flowers. which means what? which to end grow flowers. which means what? whgetting to end grow flowers. which means what? whgetting our to end grow flowers. which means what? whgetting our food to end grow flowers. which means what? whgetting our food from to end grow flowers. which means what? whgetting our food from other|d up getting our food from other countries, including so countries, including china. so it an act of it feels like an act of self—harm, the way we're decisions in this country. >> okay, i think that is a bit of different topic, and i'm of a different topic, and i'm delighted that you raise it, because to because actually we're trying to get on the isle get an abattoir now on the isle of wight because all our all our beef, mean, we're actually beef, i mean, we're actually making in making big strides in agriculture uk. i did it agriculture in the uk. i did it with great respect. the with great respect. i think the farmer you had on is taking with great respect. i think the faslightly you had on is taking with great respect. i think the fa slightly extremeid on is taking with great respect. i think the fa slightly extreme view. is taking with great respect. i think the fa slightly extreme view. i. taking with great respect. i think the fa slightly extreme view. i thinkg a slightly extreme view. i think actually are pretty actually wildflowers are pretty special life. >> i n special life. » . n >> okay, i think i think he said he if he has to he will go bankrupt if he has to grow wildflowers. >> goes, if he has >> he, he goes, sorry if he has to grow food, he'll go bankrupt. that 2020 that should never happen in 2020 four country. four inches this country. >> the individual >> i don't know the individual case farmer, but case with that farmer, but actually farmers are telling actually my farmers are telling me if can get an me that if we can get an abattoir of wight, abattoir on the isle of wight, actually really actually there will be really good future the of good for the future of the of the island. so what i'm trying to post—brexit can get to do is post—brexit we can get small, we've got small abattoirs coming the uk, coming back into the uk, so we're bit of a we're trying to get a bit of a grant in with farmers grant mixed in with the farmers own an abattoir own money to build an abattoir on the island, which would be

>> yeah. thank you for your support. this support. we can't do this without you. now, senior government figures fearing government figures are fearing today and today that russia, china and iran fuelling lot of these iran are fuelling a lot of these wild and theories wild conspiracies and theories about the princess of wales health, doing it to health, and they're doing it to destabilise the nation . destabilise the nation. >> i said, as you know, it's been a difficult couple of weeks for the royal family from speculation about the photoshopped portraits kate photoshopped portraits to kate announcing cancer, so do announcing she has cancer, so do we them an apology? joining we owe them an apology? joining us the biographer, us now is the royal biographer, ingnd us now is the royal biographer, ingrid ingrid. morning ingrid seward. ingrid. morning to you. first time we've spoken to you. first time we've spoken to you. first time we've spoken to you since kate's very moving, and i thought powerful and i thought very powerful statement on friday, statement to camera on friday, do we owe an apology? was there too much of a clamour for more information? >> there was too much of a clamour. but that is human nature. and i don't think that either william or kate would like an apology because it just focus is even more attention on them. and i mean, the monarchy is, as prince philip very wisely used to say, it's not about

individuals, it's about the institution . and i think what institution. and i think what has happened in this modern world, which is completely understandable, is it's just been very much focused on the individuals and poor. kate has really come in as as the person that everybody's focused on. i think she would be very embarrassed by an apology, and i think what she really wants is for everything to just calm down and be left alone, which is completely unaccountable. >> it all sort of made sense actually , ingrid, in retrospect, actually, ingrid, in retrospect, didn't it? the various timings , didn't it? the various timings, particularly wanting to communicate the news of her illness to her three young children, that was clearly at the forefront of all the decisions that she was making . decisions that she was making. >> well, also, she she needed to recover enough to start her, you know, as she as she told us she was starting some chemotherapy treatment. but i mean, i understand from we all know

people that have had had cancer and we all know people whose children have had to been told i understand that is the most difficult thing because of course children can be frightened and they don't understand it. why would they? and i think want and also and i think they want and also they were worried, they said, about, what was to be said about, what was going to be said at and, you know, at at school and, you know, at school, beautiful the school, however beautiful the school, however beautiful the school is, you children, school is, you know, children, other can be very cruel. >> yeah. and so telling them on the eve what she wanted to do was tell them on the eve of the children breaking up for the easter so she easter holidays so that she could from could then shield them from playground they can hang playground gossip. they can hang out with grandma at home do out with grandma at home and do all egg hunts and all all the easter egg hunts and all of those normal things. at this time year, she really is. time of the year, she really is. i all else, i think above all else, she's a remarkable mother, especially within that family that can be quite when it quite dysfunctional when it comes over the years. >> yes, they certainly can be dysfunctional, but i think the one thing that that the queen really, really was happy about when she, she, you know, when william and kate first, you

know, became engaged, was that hate came from such a stable family background . very. you family background. very. you know, i mean, sophie had come from a stable family background , from a stable family background, but fergie certainly hadn't. and of course, diana certainly hadn't. and i think the queen is a great believer in the stability in the in in early life for children. which of course is one of the things that that kate is concentrating on now , the early years. now, the early years. >> and it's interesting because of course , william and kate's of course, william and kate's marriage strong healthy, marriage strong and healthy, sophie and, prince edward. i mean, she he gave an interview very recently and it was very charming about, you know, that still a great love job. and of course, we've seen in other parts of the royal family, ingrid, where they've not had such a stable upbringing, disastrous marriages . disastrous marriages. >> well, absolutely. i mean , >> well, absolutely. i mean, well, diana and charles were charles were obviously a mismatch, although diana said later in her life that she wished that she'd met charles at a different period in her life

because they could have conquered the world together. i don't think they would have done for one moment, but that was her fantasy idea and she was very anxious that that their anxious that that that their children , i.e. william and children, i.e. william and harry, should know that charles and she and charles had been very much in love once . she was very much in love once. she was really, really distressed by the fact that people said that, you know, they never loved each other. >> it's i think, one of the things that i've kind of reflected on a bit in the last few weeks as well, is quite how sidelined meghan and harry now are when it comes to the royal stories . yeah, i think they've stories. yeah, i think they've issued a small statement, haven't they, ingrid? but they're very much they're in the shadow of this much more important issue. >> well, the interesting thing was that didn't find out was that they didn't find out about, kate's illness until we all found out about it, which means there is absolutely no communication there. and then they sent a message. whether they sent a message. whether they called or not. i'm sure.

i'm sure meghan got straight on the phone because that's very meghan. but whether or not the call was taken, i don't know. i'd love to know. but i should think was probably polite think kate was probably polite enough to take but enough to take any calls, but i just cannot see a friendship. re re cementing at this moment. they've got so many other things to think about. and i mean, a lot of people think that illness bnngs lot of people think that illness brings people together, but i'm not sure about that. >> and i think actually, ingrid, the fact that they did find out from tv or radio the way the rest of us did, i think it's because william and kate simply can't harry and meghan , can't trust harry and meghan, because other stuff they've been told up on an american told is ends up on an american tv chat show, or in his book, or in podcast , or in a netflix in a podcast, or in a netflix documentary . documentary. >> well, i think also, sadly, i mean, obviously that i don't feel that the will the king and queen can't really trust harry and meghan either. i think the whole royal family just wants to keep them, you know, at a distance , which of course they

distance, which of course they are at the moment. but harry is coming over here in may, i believe, to do something with invictus. so i think we will see him, i don't know if we'll see meghan certainly going to see harry. so the story will go on. >> okay. >> okay. >> all right. thank you. ingrid ingnd >> all right. thank you. ingrid ingrid seward there . and of ingrid seward there. and of course, catherine the course, kate, catherine or the king still across the front pages of every single newspaper worldwide. >> this has been the most extraordinary story. apparently american tv news bulletins were broken into. you know , surreal broken into. you know, surreal to have to have the princess's statement. it was a master stroke for her to do it herself to camera herself. she wrote it herself. >> and you know what? it also reminds me a story how clever gb news viewers and listeners are. because you lot out there were going our inbox all last going on in our inbox all last week saying, stop about week saying, stop talking about her, week saying, stop talking about hen hen her, stop talking about her. move on. just just just move on, move on. just just just let poor girl get well in let the poor girl get well in peace. should feel quite vindicated. >> going back to meghan and harry, week it was harry, though, last week it was announced they'd been announced that they'd been downgraded on the buckingham palace . it is not a

palace website. it is not a coincidence. it is not a coincidence. it is not a coincidence because the princess of wales filmed that video on wednesday and that announcement about them being downgraded was on thursday . so it all happened on thursday. so it all happened at the same time. they would just make it absolutely clear in case think, oh, harry and case people think, oh, harry and meghan back. no, it's meghan can come back. no, it's not there's no chance not happening. there's no chance of happening because of it happening because they are not members the royal of it happening because they are not anymore. 1bers the royal of it happening because they are not anymore. they've the royal of it happening because they are not anymore. they've made yal family anymore. they've made their and it. their decision and that's it. >> yeah, moving and we >> yeah, we're moving on and we are because lollipop ladies are too, because lollipop ladies in hampshire are facing the axe lollipop men for that. >> so i feel quite strongly about this. are the councils making a big mistake? who is going to teach our children how to cross the road? from what i can see, parents aren't doing it . ulez britain's newsroom on .
