the police who will have attended this dreadful incident because this is the kind of thing they witness and see the results of only too often, i'm afraid. in great britain in 2024, the chancellor says he believes thames water is solvent despite shareholders withholding extra cash to keep it afloat. >> half £1 billion was to be invested before the end of the month, but shareholders say the business plan is uninvestable. they want the regulator, ofwat, to increase customer bills by up to increase customer bills by up to 40% over a five year period. the company serves nearly a quarter of the uk's population and has debts of more than £15 million £15 billion. it comes as rowers taking part in the boat race this weekend were warned of high levels of e.coli in the river thames. as a result of the company dumping raw sewage. the chancellor's promised to hold the company to account. >> treasury will continue to monitor very carefully what's happening at thames water. our understanding is that the

company is still solvent and today's news should not have an impact on the services received by customers. obviously there are parts of the country where the service has not been up to scratch, including in my own constituency and local mps will continue to hold thames water to account in those situations. but overall we will continue to watch the situation very carefully. >> last year's recession was less severe than initially thought, according to revised figures , the office for national figures, the office for national statistics has found the economy did still shrink for two quarters in a row, but the total contraction over that six month penod contraction over that six month period a drop from oh point 5% to 0.1. the government says that is proof their plan is working well. the labour leader says britain wants change as he has outlined his party's election campaign. speaking at an event in the west midlands, sir keir starmer pledged a national renewal, promising to axe zero hour contracts and give powers to local mayors to rejuvenate

emily and. tom. >> good afternoon britain. it is 12:07 and some breaking news in the last few minutes. a 19 year old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a man was stabbed on a train between beckenham junction and shortlands railway stations in south london yesterday . in south london yesterday. >> well, it's crossed to shortlands station and speak to our reporter , ray addison. we're our reporter, ray addison. we're just receiving this news in the last few minutes. what do we know ? know? >> well, police are saying that a knife was recovered as well. following this arrest. a 19 year old man on suspicion of attempted murder. they've confirmed as well that the other man that was involved in this incident remains in hospital. in a critical but stable condition. they've confirmed that he was in his 20s, and they say that his family is now being supported by

specialist officers . now, we specialist officers. now, we know that this incident began here at shortlands station. police receiving a call shortly before 4 pm. yesterday afternoon . they'd heard reports afternoon. they'd heard reports that two men had been fighting as they were boarding a train here at shortlands, and then, of course, we saw that dramatic, shocking footage of an incident on board the train heading towards beckenham, just now. that man has now been arrested and 19 years old, and obviously on suspicion of attempted murder . and british transport police superintendent darren malpass saying in a statement we understand the concerns of the pubuc understand the concerns of the public following this incident and our detectives have been working tirelessly to investigate. i hope this arrest will bring some reassurance to those on the rail network. and obviously i've been speaking to people here, commuters who use this station every single day on their journey, this station every single day on theirjourney, and this station every single day on their journey, and they were telling me how deeply concerned

not only this incident, but other recent incidents on the rail network have made them about travelling , obviously about travelling, obviously concerns for their safety. some saying that perhaps there needs to be, officers on board trains or some kind of security on board trains as well to help protect members of the public. but of course, we're limited to what we can say at this time. but this arrest now has been made this 19 year old man. made of this 19 year old man. >> and, ray, us a little >> and, ray, tell us a little bit about bromley. it's not usually considered a particularly dangerous area of london, is it? >> well, it's really interesting, emily, because we've had people coming up to us throughout the day. very, very angry. in fact, one gb news viewer drove here specifically to come and see me and express his frustration at the types of crimes and incidents that they

have seen in recent years. and i'm not just talking about one person or two people, multiple people have come up to us today and say that they've lived here their whole life, and they have seen a dramatic increase, they say, in violence. and of course, that often then goes on to the rail network, which people use every day for their for their work or their leisure. and they're very , very concerned. they're very, very concerned. they say that this area has changed completely in recent years. they're very angry about it. and they are keen to see some kind of action taken to help protect members of the public. >> no, it is absolutely shocking. and again, we're not showing that video due to this arrest. there are now restrictions around what we can see and what we can show and what we can say . but really, what we can say. but really, really gruesome story here and developing of course. ray anderson, thank you very much for reporting live there on the ground. >> very interesting to get that context about the area that in recent years there's been a

decline in how people feel in terms of their own safety. i'm sure that's a story that other people have from other areas of the country . the country. >> yes. well, we're going to move kennington .now, move across to kennington .now, where hours after this incident, police were called to kennington tube station. this is a zone one two station, in in south london as two people were stabbed on a platform there in this, attack that's been described as senseless. >> well, our home and security editor joins us from kennington now, mark, what do we know about this incident ? this incident? >> well, this incident unfolded around about half past ten last night. >> it was on the northbound platform of the northern line service here at kennington tube station. a passenger there waiting to board a train was stabbed by a man and critically injured. then we're told by police that another commuter who

was on the platform at the time , was on the platform at the time, bravely tried to interject to help this man who was being stabbed and was stabbed himself. i think it goes some way to maybe answering some of those who have been asking questions and perhaps criticising individuals on that train and beckoning them as to why people didn't intervene to help out the man who was being stabbed. it is, of course, very brave to do so, but it carries significant dangers . as this commuter found dangers. as this commuter found out, both these men were taken to a major trauma centre in central london. they are described as being in a critical but stable condition. the attacker fled the scene here at kennington just before the emergency services arrived in this area, so there is now a manhunt underway to try to establish who this attacker is to bring them to justice. the

police are still here in numbers. we've had forensic teams here as well, examining the scene on the platform, looking at cctv both at the station and surrounding area and of course, speaking to witnesses . who were there on the station and saw this terrible incident unfold. for all of the criticism that the metropolitan police come for, it seem come in for, it does seem that with shortlands affair, with the shortlands affair, there fairly short, rapid there was a fairly short, rapid man . hunt. someone has now been man. hunt. someone has now been arrested, a suspect has been arrested, a suspect has been arrested, presumably, it will be arrested, presumably, it will be a very similar case here in kennington . and the teams are kennington. and the teams are only a few hours behind the teams that were investigating the, the shortlands affair. well, you'd have to hope anyway that that might be the way that this progresses. we get a similar outcome. what we need to always remind people of is, although there has been an

arrest, it doesn't necessarily mean that that is the prime suspect in custody . we will wait suspect in custody. we will wait to hear what british transport police say about that. you will often find that individuals are arrested because they may be connected to a potential suspect or the answer. a general description. so in the fullness of time, we'll know how significant the arrest has been. that has just come out in the last few minutes. but in the meantime, as you say, tom, quite rightly, the manhunt continues for the attacker here and british transport police and metropolitan police forces right across the country, in fact, have a significant issue in deaung have a significant issue in dealing with the violent crime problem involving knives and guns that is not just confined to the streets , because these to the streets, because these people, these violent offenders who carry these weapons, use the transport system like everybody else. they take buses and are on trains and tube trains as well.

and at times that violence erupts while they're on a train orindeed erupts while they're on a train or indeed on a platform. it is a big issue that the police are deaung big issue that the police are dealing with, because one of the other issues they find is that the rail network and tube network in particular, is used by drug dealers for their likes of the county lines issue. and these are people that are armed with often knives and other weapons , on the transport weapons, on the transport network, taking drug supplies from one area of the country to another. and that just adds to the risk for ordinary members of the risk for ordinary members of the public out and about using the public out and about using the public out and about using the public transport system and increasingly concerned about just how violent these modes of transport are becoming. and mark, just lastly, the london mayor, sadiq khan, said recently that london is the safest global city. >> is that still the case? >> is that still the case?

>> london has a significant violent crime problem, there is no doubt about that , no doubt about that, particularly when it comes to the younger, element within society. here in london there is a knife crime problem. there is a knife crime problem. there is a gun problem , and the police a gun problem, and the police are battling constantly to try to get on top of that. they are deaung to get on top of that. they are dealing with finite resources . dealing with finite resources. there was, you'll rememberjust there was, you'll remember just weeks ago, quite a lot of anger expressed that the mayor managed to find £6.3 million to rebrand overground rail networks at a time when the metropolitan police, for instance, is trying to secure more money from the mayor's office for their safer neighbourhood schemes to help keep london safe. mark white, thank you very much for bringing us the very latest from kennington station in south london. really concerning story

is developing now to manhunts one arrest three separate stab victims in two separate attacks. let's get some more on this. with the former head of counterterrorism for the city of london police, kevin hurley. now kevin , we can't go into too much kevin, we can't go into too much detail on the specifics of the arrest. there are, of course, restrictions around that . but in restrictions around that. but in the general terms, what we've seen in these two separate attacks that took place yesterday , does this show that yesterday, does this show that there is a sense of law and order in our capital city breaking down? >> well, let me just, before i answer it , say that i was ahead answer it, say that i was ahead of operation blunt two, during 2008, where we had 28 youth murders, and four years later, we got it down to eight youth murders. so i do know a little bit about , the strategy needed bit about, the strategy needed to be followed to stop youth murder on the street, if you like, to answer your question,

this is just part of normal life in london and our major cities. and we'll go on for a long time with no change, and we'll get gradually worse. and the principal reason behind it is that the policing methods that were once used to create a deterrent from people carrying knives, which was essentially stop and search on groups known to carry knives and do the attacks , there's been much attacks, there's been much reduced. the bottom line is people know that they can pretty much carry a knife or a weapon on the streets of london with relative impunity from being detected. and of course, if that happens and people then get in altercations and arguments , then altercations and arguments, then they will turn to the knife, without thinking the consequences of using that knife on someone because a knife has a devastating effect on the body if it hits you. >> kevin, i grew up in london and i don't remember it ever being this bad in terms of the breakdown in trust. trust

between , citizens. citizens. oh, between, citizens. citizens. oh, well, i've done a review, emily. >> i mean, i personally love it when there are more than one of you. that that is a treat. but we do seem to have a connection issue . issue. >> that was the, but what i was saying was that, i don't ever remember such a breakdown in trust citizens and the trust between citizens and the general public. feeling unsafe? i don't want to be hyperbolic about this, because i don't think that's very sensible. but it is clearly the case that whether it's police priorities being wrong or just the breakdown in terms of social fabnc breakdown in terms of social fabric or something deeper, people do are more fearful, know, going about their daily lives because of this sort of thing. and of course, it gets amplified with social media and everything. but i couldn't count the number of times that we've reported on it. >> other, colleagues of ours have reported on just stabbing after stabbing in our capital city, particularly over the last

two years, it seems that there has been a significant uptick in violent crime. and there are many, many different causes for this, chiefly, perhaps, this issue that we keep coming back to the county lines gangs issue . to the county lines gangs issue. and the big question are we stopping and searching enough people? there are so many, many different issues here that all feed into this pervasive sense of lawlessness. >> it's interesting because a lot of people, you know, come out absolutely horrified when something like this happens, but are ideologically, ideologically against things like stop and search, which i believe have been proven to work if done correctly. yes. and i think we're getting to some kind of scenario where you're going to have to try more of this, these sorts of things. and if you know you i don't know, it's difficult for police . it is, it is. for the police. it is, it is. the police will be called every name under the sun, and it must be soul destroying . be soul destroying. >> but when you know that there are certain areas of london,

when you know that there are certain gangs, when there are known individuals to the police who popping in instance who keep popping up, in instance like this, frankly, what other choice do you have than to stop and search people you suspect of carrying dangerous weapons? >> but what we do know is there are far too many young men carrying knives then carrying knives and then using them . but coming up, angela them. but coming up, angela rayner says the public should believe her when she says she has done nothing wrong . but the has done nothing wrong. but the police are now looking again at the sale of one of her houses. should release her tax should she release her tax affairs. good afternoon britain, i'm .

gb news. right. well, we are going to be bringing you some pictures of queen camilla, who has been at the service at worcester cathedral ,

the service at worcester cathedral, shaking hands with members of the public, i believe. >> indeed. and this is, of course, the, maundy thursday service that happens every year. the king could not attend this year due to his treatment, ongoing treatment after that cancer diagnosis. so the queen there , representing not just there, representing not just herself, but the wider royal family too, at this service that, the king had sent his apologies for, and it seemed he was sad to miss. >> she really has proven herself to be particularly stoic in the face of everything that's going on health wise within the royal family, with princess catherine unwell with, of course, her husband king charles, unwell too, and, this is her after the religious service at worcester cathedral today, meeting and greeting , cathedral today, meeting and greeting, doing her cathedral today, meeting and greeting , doing her duties, greeting, doing her duties, going about everything as normal . but, as tom says, representing the royal family. >> yes . and this is, of course,

>> yes. and this is, of course, a slimmed down senior royal family, far slimmer than the original plans for a slimmed down royal family two senior royals out of action, both undergoing treatment for cancer. and it is actually quite interesting to see how both camilla and william have stepped up and really been been carrying out far more, duties and far larger of a role than they had previously done. and then they had thought that they would be doing. and i wonder if it has brought camilla and william closer together. these two people who seem to be people who now seem to be spearheading the royal family in all that they do, and it's absolutely beautiful. >> cathedral, worcester cathedral. have you ever been there? >> i haven't actually, it's stunningly, stunningly beautiful. >> and king charles has because he can't be there today, he has released a special video message

ahead of the service this morning , i believe we're going morning, i believe we're going to speak to cameron walker, our royal correspondent, who is standing for by us, cameron, we were just looking at those, pictures there of queen camilla, alone. pictured alone, of course, king charles being unwell with his cancer diagnosis. tell us about what's happened today with this service and how the how king, queen camilla is representing the royal family today . royal family today. >> yeah. i mean, it's been a very poignant, service and morning in the afternoon here in worcester . morning in the afternoon here in worcester. emily the morning in the afternoon here in worcester . emily the queen, of worcester. emily the queen, of course, as you say, is alone. his majesty the king was clearly originally meant to be here instead , but he did record an instead, but he did record an audio message at buckingham palace a few weeks ago which has been played out inside worcester cathedral during this maundy thursday service. and i suppose the highlights of his speech was reaffirming his coronation pledge, which was not to be

served, but to serve with his whole heart. he also praised the british public, extending the hands of friendship in in people's times of need , perhaps people's times of need, perhaps a reference there to his majesty the king, who is of course undergoing cancer treatments, as well as the princess of wales, also undergoing cancer treatment. although there was no absolute direct reference to that in his speech, it was solely grounded in religion because the king started his message by doing a reading. reading from the bible, the gospel of john, which was talking about jesus washing the feet disciples , which is, feet of his disciples, which is, of course, the origin of maundy thursday, the day before good friday, where he was crucified . friday, where he was crucified. the queen was wearing a leopard print chiffon dress and cream cashmere coats by fiona clare and golden sapphire flower brooches, which used to belong to queen elizabeth the second. i believe you're still on live pictures of the entrance of worcester cathedral. her majesty is expected to exit the building

shortly, where she will greet cameron. >> we have just been following that in. the queen has now moved on, moments ago, from the, from the entrance to the cathedral , the entrance to the cathedral, so we are now looking at you and heanng so we are now looking at you and hearing the bells in the background and seeing sort of the aftermath of her exit , i the aftermath of her exit, i see, thank you very much, tom. well, the queen inside the cathedral has obviously did something which the king would usually do, and that is distribute that maundy money to 75 75 women, each receiving 75 men, 75 women, each receiving a red and white purse containing commemorative coins. i do believe , although i'm believe, although i'm fortunately, i don't think we've got a shot to show you. we'll try and get some footage up on social media, but her majesty the might be the queen, i believe, might be going the going to greet members of the pubuc going to greet members of the public gathered. public who have gathered. there's a huge crash barrier here reckon least 200 here with, i reckon at least 200 people, members of the public, who have been here braved the

elements in the rain to try and, of course, greet them. but those commemorative coins the royal family been taking part in family have been taking part in these maundy services every yean these maundy services every year, dating back hundreds and hundreds of years as reference to it in the scottish monarchy in the 1500s. i believe the earliest reference to it on the royal family's website dates back the 1200s, the last time back to the 1200s, the last time that worcester cathedral hosted the maundy service was in 1980. the last major royal visit by a member of the royal family to the city of worcester was during the city of worcester was during the queen's diamond jubilee. back in 2012. that was when queen elizabeth ii and prince philip, duke of edinburgh, attended a cathedral service here, as well as the guildhall, and carried out a number of events , along inside the city as events, along inside the city as i said, the queen has not yet left the city, although she, as you said, tom, she has exited the cathedral. the crowd is still there. i can't quite see from where i am. cameron. from where i am. yes, cameron. cameron believe was some cameron i believe there was some vague plan. >> cameron saw we saw the

>> if cameron we saw we saw the queen exiting, leaving the service the cathedral. we did service at the cathedral. we did have a picture of that. we saw the queen shaking hands with members of the public and greeting them as she exited and walked slowly down the steps out of the cathedral, there . so lots of the cathedral, there. so lots of the cathedral, there. so lots of people waiting around to see her. lots of people who had been at the service , then moving at the service, then moving outside, congregating outside , outside, congregating outside, to greet queen . camilla. to greet queen. camilla. >> absolutely. and of course, as i said, it was originally going to be his majesty the king accompanying queen camilla. but we will have a chance to see the king take part in some easter celebrations, because buckingham palace that both palace has confirmed that both he and queen camilla will be at the easter sunday service at saint george's chapel in windsor. going to be a windsor. it's going to be a scaled back service. i'm told by royal sources that is due to the king's ongoing cancer treatment and doctors advice that he should not be around too many crowds , which is why the king

crowds, which is why the king could not be in worcester could not be here in worcester cathedral today. of course, the congregation would have been probably 1000 people, probably well over 1000 people, but the queen queen much but the queen queen very much holding the fort here, the prince and princess of wales, understandably , are taking time understandably, are taking time out from royal duties to look after their children in the wake of the princess of wales's cancer they're not cancer diagnosis. so they're not expected to at the easter expected to be at the easter sunday in saint george's sunday service in saint george's chapelin sunday service in saint george's chapel in windsor. other chapel in windsor. but other members family are members of the royal family are expected to attend. but as for here in worcester , it is just here in worcester, it is just the queen who is here. but the crowds . and from speaking to crowds. and from speaking to people earlier today, they were very, very excited to be here and to see a member of the senior royal family as well. >> she has huge support. that's for sure. thank you very much indeed. cameron walker, our royal correspondent there, very good to speak to you. >> yes , absolutely. and from the >> yes, absolutely. and from the charming, charming city of worcester . well, we're charming, charming city of worcester. well, we're going to be moving from the charming and, lawful city of worcester to some

of the less lawful parts of the country. after the break, we're going to be talking about lawless britain and those stabbings in london. we've got your views that have been coming in thick and fast, and we're going to get to you, get to them after the news headlines. this is britain . is good afternoon britain. >> good afternoon to you. it's 1233. i'm aaron armstrong, a 19 year old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after an alleged stabbing on a london train yesterday afternoon. it's said to have happened just before 4 pm. between shortlands and beckenham on a train bound for victoria station . graphic footage shared station. graphic footage shared on social media showed a masked man attacking another man with a large knife, while concerned passengers can be heard calling for help. the victim remains in critical but stable condition in hospital . thames water hospital. thames water shareholders are refusing to inject extra funding to keep it afloat unless the regulator allows bills to rise by up to

40% over five years. they were due to put in half £1 billion before the end of the month, but have withheld it because they say the business plan is uninvestable . it comes as rowers uninvestable. it comes as rowers taking part in this weekend's boat been warned about boat race have been warned about high of the high levels of e coli in the river thames as a result of the company dumping raw sewage . last company dumping raw sewage. last year's recession was less severe than initially thought, according to new figures from the office of national statistics, which found the economy still shrunk for two quarters in a row. but the total contraction over that six month penod contraction over that six month period dropped from 0.5% to 0.1 percent. a personal message from the king has been broadcast to worcester cathedral, marking the royal maundy service. the queen was in attendance with his majesty telling the service britain is blessed by all the services that exist for our welfare. he paid tribute to those organisations and their selfless staff and said we all

right, right. >> well, we have some views coming in about, all the horrendous news coming from our capital city, london, in particular with regards to the spate of stabbings we've seen within 24 hours. >> yes. >> yes. >> alan has written to in say maybe this is a clear message of why stop and search plays such an important role in helping to catch potential killers who should be locked up for life and more respect given to the police who have to face them. >> yes, i think that's a good point. i mean, police do try to apprehend people and stop violence from going on. what are they faced with? dozens of people with, cameras in their faces , with their smartphones faces, with their smartphones out before, anyway , david says out before, anyway, david says tfl would do better concentrating on the safety and security of their passengers, as seen on your news today and not advert . yes, we have lots of advert. yes, we have lots of adverts warning us not to be in appropriate with others, not to rub yourself against someone.

>> this might be what this might be in reference to the fact that tfl and sadiq khan have banned pictures of hot dogs. yeah, junk food on junk food. not even hot . food on junk food. not even hot. i mean, hummus is banned on tfl adverts. cheese anything deemed to be high in fat, sugar or salt. jammy which is just about every kind of food ever. but you can only have a cucumber. >> i think the adverts with these things telling these sinister things telling you how to behave is more worrying if you've seen worrying on tfl. if you've seen those don't if you have those i don't know if you have at home. >> well, sean written in to >> well, sean has written in to say rate has soared in say the crime rate has soared in london sadiq are london under sadiq khan. why are londoners about this? >> and comes % comes to say , oh, >> and he comes out to say, oh, it's all right guys. we're the safest global city in the world. well i'm sorry, but london used to be safer and i think that's, that's just blatantly true. >> varne is true far ahead in the polls and will likely be re—elected with very little opposition. >> well, there you go. that is sadiq khan's london, and it looks like it may well be for a longer, longer time. i do wonder whether there should be a limit on terms mayors. i mean , he on terms for mayors. i mean, he

has in the job for long has been in the job for a long time could be in it. he time now. he could be in it. he could it could technically be in it until, you know, his end of days. >> goodness me. well, shall we cross over from london to the west midlands now? because keir starmer travelled to dudley today to bemoan the lack of levelling up in the country, saying boris johnson did nothing on his flagship policy and that keir starmer himself is actually the man to deliver that levelling up agenda. he went to dudley but he couldn't have picked a worse place to make his point. take this. this is dudley bus station, or at least it used to be. it's currently closed . to be. it's currently closed. why? it's undergoing a huge £24 million regeneration with a swanky new bus and tram interchange in dudley. in 2022, dudley opened a new £18 million state of the art leisure centre named after the local footballing legend duncan edwards. and there's even an £80 million regenerate scheme across the town centre. it's hard to

think of a place in the uk that the levelling up agenda is more visible in. there are hundreds of new homes, 200 student homes, even a 38,000 square foot ice rink being created in the city centre. and yes, it's not all built yet, but it's currently under construction option. if there's one place in the united kingdom where you'd think, my goodness, tens of millions of poundsin goodness, tens of millions of pounds in levelling up funding have actually gone in, it's dudley . dudley. >> well, let us know if you are from dudley and you're listening or watching to us to the show this afternoon , dudley is this afternoon, dudley is getting a lot of money for various regeneration projects, as tom so expertly set out there. do you feel it? do you feel like your area is levelling up? it's on its way to being levelled up, but, you know, is the quality of life improving in dudley result of boris dudley as a result of boris johnson's levelling up funds? how do you feel home, and is how do you feel at home, and is it for keir starmer to use

it silly for keir starmer to use it silly for keir starmer to use it an example of a place it as an example of a place where levelling up hasn't happened? >> but here's the clever point. perhaps, that keir starmer is relying bus centre in relying upon the bus centre in dudley is currently closed. that's really annoying for people who live in dudley. now. in a few years time it will be the most magnificent new state of the art bus and tram station. >> how many years? everything takes so long. >> while it's being built. it's a massive inconvenience this a massive inconvenience and this might be the political downfall of up agenda . of the levelling up agenda. these things take time to build and people get annoyed while they're being built. >> so keir starmer, if he gets elected, he'll be back there in he'll be able it, say, he'll be able to open it, say, look i've done, cutting , look what i've done, cutting, cutting tape with the mayor cutting the tape with the mayor of boris johnson. >> boris johnson and >> it was boris johnson and these streets who've been sorting rather than sorting this out rather than where should we speak to the political of the express political editor of the express online, david maddox? >> david, i'm going >> now, david, i'm not going to ask on dudley unless ask your views on dudley unless you want to give them. excellent. >> actually, i dudley is close to my heart. i have lots of relatives from dudley in the

past. it's a place i used to visit quite a lot as a child. so, you know, i'm glad to see it's, getting. it's levelling up. >> does it feel like a place that's on the up, david? >> well, i mean, it's been a while since i've been there, but certainly those images you were showing is vast showing there is a vast improvement from what i remember. and, and i know, i know the of course, the mp for dudley very well, marco longhi, who's been extremely active in getting this funding of this money, and, you know, starmer really, as you say, couldn't have picked a worse place. but of course, again, as you say, when all this comes into fruition, he'll be the first one there, i'm sure, to take credit, even though , you know, obviously even though, you know, obviously it wasn't his. but, you know, it's fairly typical of politicians really. >> well, isn't this isn't this the point? assuming keir starmer wins the election, he'll be able to look , inflation has come to say, look, inflation has come down and interest rates are coming down. look net migration is going to tumble thanks to the measures that, frankly, have been over last few

been taken over the last few months dependence all months about dependence and all the not going the rest of it. that's not going to until next to come into effect until next year election. year after the election. >> going to benefit benefit >> he's going to benefit benefit from many policies from so many policies in the past. from so many policies in the pas david, from so many policies in the pasdavid, can from so many policies in the pas david, can we from so many policies in the pasdavid, can we ask from so many policies in the pas david, can we ask you from so many policies in the pasdavid, can we ask you about >> david, can we ask you about angela rayner? because don't angela rayner? because we don't have angela have much time now. angela rayner of demands she rayner lots of demands that she release affairs because release her tax affairs because of this, the police are reassessing whether they should investigate the sale of one of her homes. what's your take on this ? is it cutting through? this? is it cutting through? >> i'm not sure it is cutting through yet. i mean, partly because there's been so much kind of sleaze from the other side, you know, we saw scott benton having to quit as an mp, the other day, but it was, from a conservative side , but i think a conservative side, but i think it might get some more cut through as we get closer to an election. i mean, there's certainly a lot of hypocrisy going on here. my colleague, christian calocane was, at the, at the launch today, and it dominated the launch , the whole, dominated the launch, the whole, angela rayner thing as well ,

angela rayner thing as well, people wanted to ask questions about. and he pointed out in his question that rayner herself last year almost this time last yean last year almost this time last year, was telling, nadhim zahawi , who was then a minister, but he at his position was untenable because of questions about his tax affairs . and, you know, the tax affairs. and, you know, the fact is that she's either broken the law , which is a worst case the law, which is a worst case scenario or the best case scenario or the best case scenario . she's used scenario. she's used a technicality to avoid in a loophole . if you like to avoid loophole. if you like to avoid paying loophole. if you like to avoid paying tax, neither of which pass the sniff test by any means, no . means, 110. >> means, no. >> and it is very odd that someone who has been the most forthright , someone who has been the most forthright, member of the someone who has been the most forthright , member of the shadow forthright, member of the shadow cabinet to come out every single time that she's demanded that she's demanded rishi sunak release his tax returns, nadhim zahawi release his tax affairs. but when it comes to her own tax affairs, she's refusing to release them. >> no, no, no, the british pubuc >> no, no, no, the british public should just trust me , she public should just trust me, she says. david. >> well, exactly . i'm afraid >> well, exactly. i'm afraid that she's not the first,

hypocritical politician, nor will she be will last. but, you know, she's certainly been caught out spectacularly, and i'm afraid this will stick. and actually, you know, i suspect if they do win the election, which we all expect, they will, and she does become deputy prime minister. this story won't go away. and, you know, once, once you have one bad story like this, others have a habit of following . well, it'll be following. well, it'll be interesting to see. >> does seem that there >> and it does seem that there is this double standard. is often this double standard. those government lot those in government get a lot more scrutiny than those in opposition, so perhaps the tables in time. but, tables will turn in time. but, david maddox, thank you very much for bringing us all of that coming up. we're going be coming up. we're going to be moving german beer. why? moving on to german beer. why? we've to beware of it. we've been told to beware of it. that's warning from the that's the warning from the foreign office to football fans. find why after this

i >> -- >> it's 1251 >> it's1251 in m >> it's1251 in the afternoon. >> it's 1251 in the afternoon. now, beware of german beer . now, beware of german beer. that's what the foreign office is telling us all while telling football fans. anyway, travelling to the euros in germany this summer. that's because apparently german beer packs more of a punch than a british brew . british brew. >> is that a reason to beware of it? i would have thought that's a reason to embrace it, but, fans being to drink fans are being told to drink responsibly as drunk fans risk being barred from football stadiums. >> is this a this is just some good, healthy advice. surely we do know that english football fans sometimes, disgrace themselves. i mean, i love engush themselves. i mean, i love english football fans, but do sometimes disgrace. i mean, i think everyone can admit that looking at what happened in the euros a couple of summers ago, in, in london. >> oh my god. and of course, i mean, the chaos people were

looting. i mean, there was the people were climbing on lampposts and scaling buildings, jumping on bus stops. but but my goodness, if that was on british been goodness, if that was on british beer, which is apparently a lot weaker and i don't know, this is, this is this has got my goat a little bit. >> it's got your goat. >> it's got your goat. >> if british beer is weaker than beer, i we than german beer, i think we might toughen our might need to toughen up our been might need to toughen up our beer. being number might need to toughen up our beernation. being number might need to toughen up our beernation. we being number might need to toughen up our beernation. we beingbeimber might need to toughen up our beernation. we beingbe number one. >> the problem this is, is >> the problem with this is, is that don't actually like beer. that i don't actually like beer. i'm person . so, i i'm more of a wine person. so, i can't really talk about whether the better when it's the taste is better when it's stronger, i don't know, but, if engush stronger, i don't know, but, if english fans are english football fans are looking for a stronger beer, well, i suspect they probably are. well, here's the thing. >> if you're going to go to germany, probably not >> if you're going to go to germeto , probably not >> if you're going to go to germeto get probably not >> if you're going to go to germeto get a probably not >> if you're going to go to germeto get a pint.bably not >> if you're going to go to germeto get a pint. you'reiot going to get a pint. you're going to get a pint. you're going to get a pint. you're going to stein, you're going to get a stein, you're going to get a stein, you're going a proper massive going to get a proper massive stein of beer. and i think , to stein of beer. and i think, to be honest, people can probably work themselves if work out for themselves if especially football fans, if they're bit tipsy . they're getting a bit tipsy. >> okay, so part of the warning is that german beer is stronger. but the other part of the warning that drunk fans could warning is that drunk fans could end up barred from stadiums. and

i think that probably is good advice. i mean, all it advice. i mean, we all know it in theory , and we all know that in theory, and we all know that we shouldn't drink too much. i mean, at the races or the mean, like at the races or the rugby football or rugby or the football or whatever whatever whatever it is, whatever sporting event the english do like get bit a bit tipsy. like to get a bit a bit tipsy. >> we do, we do. >> it's, although perhaps not as much as the, as the germans, particularly the bavarians . particularly the bavarians. >> let us know what you think. is this nanny state gone mad ? is this nanny state gone mad? >> you think gb views at gb news? com is the address. you know it by but. yeah. have know it by now, but. yeah. have you drunk abroad ? we you ever been drunk abroad? we want to hear these stories. >> do you think that >> and do you think that this is, yeah. the state gone is, yeah. the nanny state gone mad. office should mad. the foreign office should butt out of whether you drink strong or not. strong beer or not. >> or, frankly, should we buck up our ideas in britain and stop being stop playing. second fiddle to the strength of german been fiddle to the strength of german beer. and really get on their level. should we? should we have more much , much stronger drinks here? >> well, does it matter the strength of the beer? i mean, it

depends how much you drink, i guess. presumably quality is not only dictated by the strength. >> oh, no. very often it's inversely correlated. >> oh, really ? >> oh, really? >> oh, really? >> a weaker pint is actually more tastier. >> well, not always, not always. and sometimes and actually, sometimes some of the craft beers can the some of the craft beers can be lot more alcoholic than be a lot more alcoholic than some of the, sort of more mass. >> well, there we go. perhaps you at home know more about this, but do you think the foreign office should be warning engush foreign office should be warning english that foreign office should be warning english beer that foreign office should be warning english beer bit that foreign office should be warning english beer bit tha'strong, german beer is a bit too strong, and barred and they could end up barred from let know . from stadiums? let us know. >> be back to the >> but we'll be back to the manhunt terror for manhunt underway for terror for stabbing after this . stabbing suspects after this. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> hello again. here's your latest gb news weather forecast brought to you by the met office. if you're hoping for something little drier , something a little bit drier, then there is something of a

attempted murder after a man was stabbed on a train between beckenham junction and shortlands railway station in south london on wednesday . south london on wednesday. >> yes, well, let's cross to gb news. reporter ray addison, who joins us from shortlands railway station. ray what do we know? an arrest has been made . arrest has been made. >> yes, we know that a 19 year old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and a knife. has also been recovered by police. detectives now , they received a call just now, they received a call just before 4 pm. yesterday afternoon. reports that two men had been fighting as they entered a train here at shortlands station. and then, of course, we saw that shocking footage on social media of a man wearing black clothing and a face mask. and of course, that incident seemed to be very disturbing to passengers. incident seemed to be very disturbing to passengers . one disturbing to passengers. one could be heard calling for an ambulance in quite a distressed way. now, that train ultimately

stopped at beckenham junction train station, which is just a short 2 to 3 minute journey from shortlands and ultimately there was a very large police presence there at the train station, and a man in his 20s was treated at the scene and then taken, we believe, by air ambulance to a major trauma centre here in london. now, as part of this update, we're being told he's in a critical but stable condition and specialist officers are assisting his family now. british transport police issuing a statement saying they understand the concerns of the pubuc understand the concerns of the public following this incident. their detectives have been working tirelessly to investigate. they hope that this arrest will bring some reassurance to those on the rail network. now, locals that i've been talking to are not sounding very reassured. i have to say. they say that this area of bromley has changed significantly in recent years . significantly in recent years. they've seen, they say, an increase in violent incidents

and they're concerned. they tell me, to let their children use the rail network. now, one man said that this area of bromley is actually a particular hotspot because there are no ticket barriers here at shortlands station . he says that he feels station. he says that he feels gives people license to kind of come and go. they feel like they're not being watched as closely and they can come here and commit crime. i went and talk station staff. they talk to the station staff. they said they've never been any ticket barriers here at the station, so high visibility patrols are being increased. we're told. i haven't seen any so far . however, we're told they so far. however, we're told they will be across the rail network to reassure passengers as well. >> addison, thank you very much for joining us there outside shortlands station in a developing story. but of course, elsewhere, a second manhunt is underway for a man who appeared to randomly stab people on a tube platform in kennington, south london, leaving two people fighting for their lives again in hospital. we'll keep you updated. our home and security

editor joins us from kennington now. and mark, this manhunt still underway . still underway. >> yeah, it was 1030 last night that this incident unfolded on the northbound platform of the northern line, going through kennington tube station , and it kennington tube station, and it caused absolute panic and evacuation of the station. we got some video that we can show you that was captured by some of those in the area last night, as this was unfolding, of the people being evacuated from the station, the emergency services arrived en masse here to deal with not one, but two victims down on that platform . now, down on that platform. now, according to british transport police , a man was attacked and police, a man was attacked and stabbed, first of all, and it appears, then, that another commuter waiting on the platform tried to intervene very bravely to try to stop that stabbing

attack and then got attacked himself . so attack and then got attacked himself. so it really attack and then got attacked himself . so it really does show himself. so it really does show the dangers. yes, of course , the dangers. yes, of course, it's a really brave act to try to help someone who's in trouble like that, but then you put yourself at risk from someone with a deadly weapon . both these with a deadly weapon. both these men are now in hospital. they were taken to a major trauma centre in central london. they're conditions are described as critical but stable today. and the manhunt now is continuing for the suspect in. interestingly and perhaps surprisingly, we have had another ing from british transport police on this suspect. any kind of description? no picture taken from cctv or elsewhere of their suspect. now that might indicate that actually they have a suspect in mind and they're not at the stage that they feel they need to call on the public's help to try to identify someone.

so that might mean that an arrest is perhaps just hours away. >> yes. have we heard anything, mark, in terms of political reaction? have we heard from the london mayor, for example, sadiq khan? he did say that london is the safest global city. >> yeah. i'm not aware of sadiq khan having said anything about these attacks. he may well have done, but of course he defends as he is the mayor of london and believes that it is in comparison to the massive global cities around the world, a safe city and it depends how you look at it. it is a huge city and it grapples with a violent crime problem. and of course, there are years when that violent crime overall is down on what it was the year before. but there is a persistent problem in this city of youth, violent crime, in

which teenagers are being caught up in either knife or gun crime. and a very significant rate. and, you know, that really is of concern. we have programs that are underway by the metropolitan police and others to try to deal with this issue, but it is a persistent problem of people who are carrying deadly weapons and who, it seems, are only too to prepared use them when an argument breaks out. now, we do not know with regard to this incident in kennington what it was sparked by, but the british transport police say at this stage they believe that the victims did not know the attacker. so it may have been a random attack that as yet we have no idea of what the motivation was. >> yes, really , really >> yes, really, really concerning stuff. but mark, i suppose in the other stabbing we saw yesterday, it took 20 hours

for the police to crack down on at least one suspect, one arrest. might we be looking at a similar time frame in this double stabbing incident? it seems that the police do actually , when they sort of actually, when they sort of crack down on a manhunt like this , they do very often, quite this, they do very often, quite quickly get their suspects . quickly get their suspects. >> yes. i mean, when you have a major incident unfolding and lots of police resources and detective resources that are then sent to deal with that incident, they begin by, of course, speaking to all of the people who have been closely involved in the incident, the people on the train look for descriptions . so they've got descriptions. so they've got that valuable video that was taken a member of the public taken by a member of the public on the train as well . and then on the train as well. and then in quick time, they're looking at the cctv, both from the train and from the station and surrounding streets to get a look at this individual. he was

wearing what appeared to be a covid mask for some of the time . covid mask for some of the time. there's other images that have been captured of someone answering that description in a street nearby , and so at some street nearby, and so at some point, that mask may have been taken down and that person may be visible. there usually also able through the fact that we are such a heavily surveilled capital city here in london, they're usually able to keep a track on individuals through cctv to get an indication of where they're going , and that where they're going, and that can lead them quite quickly to a suspect. i mean, i say quite quickly, it's all relative. these things are time consuming. you need multiple officers looking at all of the available cctv and speaking to eyewitnesses. >> thank you very much indeed . >> thank you very much indeed. mark white, our home security editor there in kennington , editor there in kennington, well, joining us now is a reformed gang member and youth rehabilitator sakarias mcgrath .

rehabilitator sakarias mcgrath. thank you very much for joining us on the show today. sakarias the question that lots of people will be asking is , what on earth will be asking is, what on earth can be done to prevent these kind of incidents , two stabbing kind of incidents, two stabbing incidents in the space of a few hours in our capital city in south london and thereabouts, what can be done? what can be done ? done? >> yeah, in respect of gangs or knife crime that's affiliated to gangs, i think there's programs that are in place at the moment. i've highlighted this previously. i don't think they're effective. and you know, they're effective. and you know, the amount of funding is there. people say it's funding . it's people say it's funding. it's a funding problem. that's not correct. i've seen the amount of money's being given third money's being given to third sector charities sector agencies and charities and organisations, and some are receiving hundreds of thousands of pounds, there's people on big, big salaries , 40, 50, 60, big, big salaries, 40, 50, 60, 70 k a year that are actually doing absolutely nothing. and

they're not reducing the issue. so it's not a funding issue, i think the issue is where the funding is going, and who's doing what on the ground. we've got , you know, people doing what on the ground. we've got, you know, people left, right and centre getting out of bed and defining self defining as a youth worker. but they've never , attained a degree in never, attained a degree in youth work. they've got no expertise to just self—identifying as youth workers , as experts, as workers, as experts, as professionals. and they're going into schools to talk to kids and rehabilitate, allegedly rehabilitating people in communities. but that's not not the case. that's not reality. it's a false perception. and that's why we're seeing a rise in these issues and a drastic spreading that is so interesting to some extent , all the money to some extent, all the money thatis to some extent, all the money that is being spent on this is being spent , that is being spent on this is being spent, in the wrong way , being spent, in the wrong way, perhaps in the wrong places, perhaps in the wrong places, perhaps a lot of it going to the wrong individuals. >> and how can we get money going to the right individuals, or frankly, is it not even about

the money, but about the strategy? now strategy? >> yeah. look, everyone always says to me it's a funding issue. that's not the case 100. that's not the case. i've seen funding from central and local government being put into programs, knife crime, gun crime , serious youth violence. or the issue we have is going to the wrong people on the streets, and it's going to the wrong charities and organisations, and that's that's why we're not seeing a decline in youth violence. and we're seeing it spread further afield. and, you know, there could be years where it lowers and then there's a spike the following year, but nevertheless , we're seeing nevertheless, we're seeing a spread in this ideology, and it's going from the main inner cities to the smaller towns and villages outside the london, birmingham, liverpool and manchester, so we manchester, for example. so we program we, we, sorry, we introduced you as a reformed gang member and perhaps you can speak to this about why people carry weapons, particularly young people in urban areas .

young people in urban areas. >> why are they carrying weapons? and in your mind, has the has it accelerated in recent years or is this a problem that is just highlighted every time there's an incident like these, like these ? like these? >> well, we've always had knife crime as far back as i can remember. what we're seeing now over the last decade so is over the last decade or so is the victims and the perpetrators getting and younger, the victims and the perpetrators gettinoften and younger, the victims and the perpetrators gettinoften seeing d younger, the victims and the perpetrators gettinoften seeing cases1gen the victims and the perpetrators gettinoften seeing cases inzn we're often seeing cases in which the perpetrator and the victims are around 12 years of age, 13 years of age. we've never seen that two decades ago. so we're seeing , a spread in so we're seeing, a spread in this ideology. and that's what that's the issue. and that's a significant change, which i've seen. it is one program, there's an individual from the west midlands , i think she operates midlands, i think she operates under priest consultancy. her name's , ryan priest. she's name's, ryan priest. she's actually developed a program. she's implementing a program which i've looked at myself and other people have looked at around me. and we believe it's going to be highly effective. so, you know, it's people like that that we need. she's a

qualified youth worker. she's got a degree in youth work. she's a criminologist . she goes she's a criminologist. she goes out and engages with people on the streets, on the front line. and, to me, she's one of the most effective individuals in this game. >> and it's just in a sentence, if you would. how did you get out of it ? you if you would. how did you get out of it? you were if you would. how did you get out of it ? you were involved if you would. how did you get out of it? you were involved in in gang crime for, for years. what enabled you to reform yourself, yourself? >> look, i think with age, the propensity for violence reduces to, we don't see 70, 80 year olds running around with guns and knives. so as we increase in age, our propensity to use weapons and to commit violence declines. but nevertheless , declines. but nevertheless, we're still experiencing it. and people get out of it for different reasons , mine was for different reasons, mine was for one reason, but the next person may not have those same reasons. so we all have. we need that wake call . but it's wake up call. but it's education. and as you're asked before question why the kids before the question why the kids carry it's a number of carry knives? it's a number of factors, not every two cases are

the same. there could be for protection. it could be because they're in gangs. in protection. it could be because they'ryou in gangs. in protection. it could be because they'ryou adversariesngs. in protection. it could be because they'ryou adversaries or;. in protection. it could be because they'ryou adversaries or rivals , cases you adversaries or rivals, it could just be because they've got propensity for violence . got the propensity for violence. and that's what they want to do to a reputation develop and that's what they want to do tcreputatiothation develop and that's what they want to do tc reputation intion develop and that's what they want to do tcreputation in their develop and that's what they want to do tc reputation in their own evelop and that's what they want to do tc reputation in their own group» a reputation in their own group or to or deter or the gangs. or to or to deter or the gangs. or it could be a lot of it is drug related, county lines related, on. drug related, county lines releyeah. on. drug related, county lines releyeah. well, on. drug related, county lines releyeah. well, thank you very >> yeah. well, thank you very much time and much indeed for your time and good luck with the work you're doing help young people doing to help young people choose a different path. sakarias there youth sakarias mcgrath there youth rugby rehabilitator. thank you very much indeed . very much indeed. >> well, coming up, prince harry's failed bid to reinstate police protection cost the taxpayer a whopping half £1 million. much more on that story after the .

break. >> it's 126. you're watching. >> it's126. you're watching. honestly, to. good afternoon. britain. now queen camilla visited worcester cathedral today royal maundy today for the royal maundy thursday service. as the king has it with great has said, it is with great sadness he can't attend. but a pre—recorded message played out at the service, with the king reaffirming his coronation pledge not to be served but to serve whilst outlining a poignant message that jesus has set an example for to us care for each other. >> well, cameron walker joins us now. our gb news royal correspondent from worcester, just outside the cathedral where the service took place. and cameron, how was the queen received ? received? >> very warmly. tom. the crowds were huge here, actually, and when her majesty left the cathedral , there was huge cheers cathedral, there was huge cheers for the queen, who decided to get out of her royal car and then greet as many members of then greet as many members of the crowd as possible. she stayed well beyond her scheduled time of departure, which perhaps shows just how much she was a

enjoying herself and how much b the crowd was loving that she was there and spending time with them. of course, it was also them. but of course, it was also very poignant because his majesty was meant to be majesty the king was meant to be distributing that maundy to money 75 men and women of the local community, 75 being each year of the king's life. but the queen did it on his behalf. but, as you said, tom, the king did record an audio message in buckingham palace a couple of weeks ago, and he highlighted and reaffirmed his coronation pledge, which was not to be, not to serve , not sorry, not to be to serve, not sorry, not to be served, but to serve with his whole heart. he also praised the extended hands of friendship in people's times of need, and perhaps nods to both him and the princess of wales receiving cancer treatment that was not a part of his message . he cancer treatment that was not a part of his message. he did not refer to his cancer, or indeed the princess of wales during that speech. it was very much deeply rooted in religion . he deeply rooted in religion. he started his message by reading from the bible, from the gospel

of john, which is all about jesus washing the feet of his disciples, which is the root of maundy thursday, the day before good friday, where he was crucified on a cross. and then, of course, the queen, as i said, was distributing that maundy money as part of the service. worcester cathedral, the last time it hosted the maundy service was in 1980. so it doesn't happen very often in this city, which is why perhaps the crowds were so enthusiastic that queen camilla was there to greet her. and it also shows, of course, just how perhaps loved she is. but there also was a bit of an interesting moment where the republic protests, which were here when the queen arrived , retreated out of the crowds because the heavens opened and it was very rainy. but by the time camilla came out to greet the crowds, republic had left. >> is. oh, good. the crowds, republic had left. >> quite s. oh, good. the crowds, republic had left. >> quite amusing od. the crowds, republic had left. >> quite amusing that the royalists will stay there come rain or shine. but the republicans scurry away . well, republicans scurry away. well, cameron walker, thank you very much for bringing us that fair

weather protesters. >> anyway, in other royal news reports prince harry's reports reveal prince harry's failed legal bid to overturn a home office decision . the home office decision. the decision that denied him the right police protection has right to police protection has cost more than £500,000. >> well, we're joined now by the former royal correspondent at the sun, charles rea. and charles, this isn't astonishing amount of money. well, yes . amount of money. well, yes. >> i mean, i think if you start taking court cases, it, it's not a cheap matter at all. >> and it's , harry has not >> and it's, harry has not endeared himself yet again to the british public. it's cost them £500,000 to fight the cgses. >> cases. >> the only the only good thing about it is it's cost him £1 million, in those two cases, in costs. and let's not forget that he also had to pay £750,000, for the failed , action against the the failed, action against the mail on sunday, which had originally written the story about him wasting, you know, taking that action, to try and get , police protection, of

get, police protection, of course, to weigh against that, he has got a substantial sum from the mirror newspapers . so from the mirror newspapers. so these actions are still going on.and these actions are still going on. and you mentioned the 500,000, he's now he and his legal are now yet again legal team are now yet again considering fighting this case again , appealing against it, again, appealing against it, which has been rejected twice, which has been rejected twice, which probably would add another £250,000 of public money to those costs. >> not again. i mean , i'm just >> not again. i mean, i'm just reading here that this, sum included £180,000 for counsel, £320,000 for the government legal department, 2300in court fees and almost £10,000 in e—disclosure. does he think we're made of money? >> well, exactly. and the only the only winners in all this, of course, emily, are lawyers who are very, very expensive at that level, or, you know , when, when level, or, you know, when, when they're dealing with, that sort of court case. so it's not a cheap, not a cheap matter. and of course, we keep on paying for

the, you know, the defence side, if you like , because it is our if you like, because it is our money that has to fight these cases. cgses. >> cases. >> lots of people will be asking , why on earth is this still going on? this is a saga that has been going on and on and on. so many different elements, so many different courts , so many many different courts, so many appeals after appeals, after appeals after appeals, after appeals , what point does the appeals, what point does the prince think hang on. perhaps we should stop clogging up the courts with this . courts with this. >> i don't think he's got that in his makeup, to be perfectly honest. tom he has got this bee in his bonnet that he, as a royal prince, despite quitting the royal family working royal family, he's got this bee in his bonnet that, that britain is an unsafe country and so when he comes here with his family and he hasn't been , he hasn't he hasn't been, he hasn't brought his family here for at least a year, that he should have proper police protection, the police here say they will look at his visits in this

country on, you know , on a basis country on, you know, on a basis of when he's coming. he's got to give 30 days notice, and then they will decide where he's going to go and what protection he can be afforded. now, if he's going visit the royal family, going to visit the royal family, he will be within the, the ring of steel that the police is around the royal family. if he's not, then he doesn't deserve a protection . he's even trying to protection. he's even trying to rent british police to, to protect him and his family. i mean, he's due here, i think, next month or maybe six, think. >> yeah , me, because there's an >> yeah, me, because there's an invictus ceremony that he's got to attend or will attend, and we'll have to wait and see if he's actually going to see any other members of the royal family. >> well , we family. >> well, we shall see. >> well, we shall see. >> but in the meantime, it's costing us all. thank you very much indeed. charles rea, former royal correspondent for the sun. always great to speak to you. royal correspondent for the sun. alwayyesterday speak to you. royal correspondent for the sun. alwayyesterday isieak to you. royal correspondent for the sun. alwayyesterday is being» you. royal correspondent for the sun. alwayyesterday is being called now, yesterday is being called a

i >> -- >> good afternoon. britain is britain becoming lawless? that's the question. we're asking. at 1:39, we've been hearing stabbings were rife across london transport yesterday, with a manhunt underway for an attack on kennington tube platforms and a 19 year old arrested after he allegedly stabbed a man on a train in broad daylight in beckenham. beckenham brazen now three people have been left in a critical condition. >> so our question we're asking is have the police lost control of our streets ? joining us now of our streets? joining us now is gb news presenter patrick christys, who thinks police have

absolutely lost control, and the former police superintendent, leroy logan, who feels they haven't . so, patrick, tell us haven't. so, patrick, tell us why you believe the police have lost control. >> yeah, i mean, it brings me absolutely no joy to say this. and by the way, i don't think this entirely in every this is entirely in every case, the fault. but the police's fault. but to answer your question, they answer your question, yes, they have . knife crime have lost control. knife crime up england on up 5% in england and wales on last year, 22% up london, last year, 22% up in london, a 19% increase in knifepoint robberies. if we move to the nonh robberies. if we move to the north east now, we see that there's been a 500% increase in sexual crimes, a 6,000% increase. this is since 2014, by the way , in stalking and the way, in stalking and harassment cases, shoplifting is through the roof. why do you now need to go and ask a cashier behind the counter to get you some well, it's some fabric softener? well, it's because others have been because all the others have been nicked. been perceived because all the others have been nicktier been perceived because all the others have been nicktierpolicingeen perceived because all the others have been nicktier policing ofn perceived because all the others have been nicktier policing of protest.eived two tier policing of protest. drugs are out of control, aren't they? and public confidence is at the lowest level. that was an independent watchdog that came out last year. just to summarise that and how much i think they

have lost control. there was a police closed police station that closed in streatham turned into £1 streatham and was turned into £1 million farm right. million cannabis farm right. >> well, leroy, do you believe the police have lost control of the police have lost control of the streets , i don't believe the streets, i don't believe they've control of the streets. >> and i don't think it's, really reasonable to say that, it's out of control , really reasonable to say that, it's out of control, i mean, yes, crime is high and it's in the wrong direction in many areas. and the police need to get a grip of it, but i also think that, various crimes , think that, various crimes, they're predicated by people's circumstances is. i'm not giving excuses for people carrying knives or going looting, but there's always causes behind these things, you know, it's not just being tough on crime. and i know about enforcing it. and the courts and the prison system ,

courts and the prison system, but it's also getting into the causes of it. we need to have really culturally competent , really culturally competent, type of policing, knowing where the feuds are happening. who are the feuds are happening. who are the problem families going into, these conflicts where how people are starting to get together around going into, shops and looting and all these sorts of things . we need to recognise how things. we need to recognise how social media has contributed to this, and it's got these sort of weird and wonderful collaborations of people coming together and believing they can just storm stores and everything like this. so it's not just about , like this. so it's not just about, losing like this. so it's not just about , losing control. it's about, losing control. it's around, we, we collectively as the public trying to support each other so that you don't have , people running wild on the have, people running wild on the streets of london. okay, leroy, let's pass that just about to patrick. >> now . patrick. not necessarily >> now. patrick. not necessarily all on the police. this is a problem with society. >> yeah. i mean, unquestionably,

it is a problem with society. i think we can't also underestimate the impact that inexplicable police cuts, coupled with rapid mass population growth have had. i mean, i think that seems pretty obvious. and, i don't think the police help themselves at times, though, know these though, and i know that these might isolated incidents, but might be isolated incidents, but things doing the macarena things like doing the macarena at event or twerking things like doing the macarena at notting event or twerking things like doing the macarena at notting hillevent or twerking things like doing the macarena at notting hill carnival,twerking things like doing the macarena at notting hill carnival, forrking at notting hill carnival, for example, policing non crime example, or policing non crime hate incidents online, i'm not sure that's really getting in amongst the more serious crimes like stabbings , like gun crimes, like stabbings, like gun crimes, like stabbings, like gun crimes, like drugs as well. i think sometimes they are maybe afraid of the optics a bit much. of the optics a bit too much. i know that were certain know that there were certain issues blm protests. issues around the blm protests. i recently as well , i think more recently as well, when it comes to the pro—palestine protests that when it comes to the pro—p seen, re protests that when it comes to the pro—p seen, it protests that when it comes to the pro—p seen, i think sts that when it comes to the pro—p seen, i think the that we've seen, i think the appearance is at least maybe they are too worried about how this could be cut up. they have also been problems, i think, when to undermining when it comes to undermining the respect not respect of police officers, not least don't appear least because they don't appear to always be that good at policing could policing themselves. i could rattle examples. rattle off several examples. wayne probably the wayne couzens is probably the most well i most obvious one, as well i think as well. they're not

always backed up by the higher ups. are they? when comes to ups. are they? when it comes to things. officers things. i know firearms officers recently felt incredibly recently have felt incredibly hard by and handed in hard done by and handed in quite a their and will a few of their weapons and will not reapplying the role, a few of their weapons and will n i'll agree that they haven't been consistent around, policing a lot of the protests, especially around the issues of gaza and israel and, whereas they can be seen very heavy handed when it comes to, football. events or, you know, and something of a different nature. so, yeah, they need to be consistent. there needs to be that strong ethical leadership to ensure that they deploy the assets in an intelligence and a and a proportionate , and and a proportionate, and reasonable way . we've got to

reasonable way. we've got to ensure that our policing is consistent , whether you are, consistent, whether you are, very privileged end of life or you're deprived in some way, there seems to be an inconsistency . and that's down inconsistency. and that's down to the leadership. but i note the majority of officers are doing an excellent job in very tough circumstances , as has tough circumstances, as has already been highlighted. austerity trashed. community cops. it closed down the police stations , we've seen morale stations, we've seen morale nosedive . lots of people nosedive. lots of people leaving, not only just handing back their firearms, but they're actually leaving. and of course, the reputation was hit by carrick and cousins and all these other sexual predators. so these other sexual predators. so the only way is up. so it really needs the real ethical leadership, not not only at the top of the met and other police services, but at the home office when we had an overindulgent, home secretary like suella braverman , etc, getting involved

braverman, etc, getting involved in operational policing that was the worst thing we needed. >> yeah. well, patrick, do you think we just need tougher police officers? are they , have police officers? are they, have we got. you know, some people say too many graduates , too much say too many graduates, too much form filling and not enough tough. you know , can i just say tough. you know, can i just say something? >> i was a graduate and i wasn't soft on policing, so i hear this thing about graduates. i was the graduate, and i. it actually helped me to be a more effective and objective officer. so please, i hate these stereotypes about too many graduates. >> although leroy that was back before universities turned down a peculiar path that they have in the last few years. but patrick, final word to you. >> yeah. no, look, i think that actually there is a serious doubt to whether or not we doubt as to whether or not we should police officers should be paying police officers more to attract better more to try to attract better ones and to make sure more to try to attract better onesmoreto make sure more to try to attract better onesmoreto are|ke sure more to try to attract better onesmoreto are actually that more people are actually seeing a career choice. i seeing it as a career choice. i do that area to do think that that is an area to be well. i do also be had as well. i do also actually think that needs actually think that there needs to of personal to be an element of personal responsibility. it can't all be down to the police. i don't

think centre would think a new youth centre would stop stabbing other stop people stabbing each other in . a lot of the in the streets. a lot of the time. for example, i think there has to be a look at the breakdown maybe nuclear breakdown in maybe the nuclear family, as well, but not just police . but yes, i would like to police. but yes, i would like to see officers perhaps see police officers perhaps a little less afraid. and little bit less afraid. and get more from politicians. little bit less afraid. and get more is from politicians. little bit less afraid. and get more is a from politicians. little bit less afraid. and get more is a perception)liticians. little bit less afraid. and get more is a perception that ans. there is a perception that perhaps some politicians are very things very quick to jump on things like whether it's police racism or whether it's police sexism or all things, of all of those things, all of which bad. i would like which are bad. but i would like to politicians coming out to see politicians coming out into back, going the top into back, going over the top for officers more and for our police officers more and our police officers not being afraid to do things like more, stop search. stop and search. >> we go. what a >> well, there we go. what a fantastic really, fantastic discussion. really, really interesting points on either leroy, really interesting points on either you leroy, really interesting points on either you for leroy, really interesting points on either you for your leroy, really interesting points on either you for your time., really interesting points on either you for your time. amazing thank you for your time. amazing stuff. >> good stuff. well, and let us know what you made of that gb views at gb news. com but grab your raincoats in meantime, your raincoats in the meantime, because could because this easter could be rather wet and windy, with a particular dampener predicted for our bank holiday celebrations. whippy. we'll hear from a weather expert

ireland. here we're going to see some high totals some high rainfall totals building worth building up, but it's worth beanng building up, but it's worth bearing in mind that the weather's easing as we go through weekend . and that through the weekend. and that being said, there will still be something around something a bit unsettled around tomorrow people heading tomorrow. lots of people heading on first day of on the roads on the first day of the weekend , and there the long weekend, and there could heavy downpours. could be some heavy downpours. watch out for hail! watch out for thunder and still some blustery definitely blustery winds, but definitely things are going to be turning a bit more settled . bit more settled. >> alex. well, i want to know is am i safe for my traditional sunday easter egg hunt in the garden ? will it at least be dry garden? will it at least be dry for that? >> there are some signs that yeah, actually easter sunday, easter day doesn't look too wet. there will be some showers around . there's a potential for around. there's a potential for some heavier, more persistent rain. perhaps in the south—west, but for many of us there will be quite a bit of dry weather around. the dry weather definitely looks more prolonged. there'll be more sunshine than we've . we've seen recently. >> oh, that's a relief, is it unseasonably cold at the moment? i was walking to work this

but perhaps most particularly in london. and it's interesting. we've been speaking to ray addison throughout the programme, who's been at the, shortlands railway station, where there was one of these incidents that occurred yesterday. and heather wrote in to say, the train station where ray addison is reporting from is just a few hundred metres from the primary school i attended in the primary school i attended in the early 1970s, there was never anything like this incident when we lived near there . it was we lived near there. it was a gentle, peaceful place. so sad . gentle, peaceful place. so sad. >> well, yeah, this is a story of many places in this country like that that used to be, less safe , kelvin's got in touch. he safe, kelvin's got in touch. he thinks the root cause of most of these problems is drugs. he says they affect so many of us in society, and the supply and distribution is at the root of this. well, yes. when you look at gang violence, so much is about drugs and territory to do with drugs and how they're suppued with drugs and how they're supplied and the people who supply them. >> yeah, absolutely.

>> yeah, absolutely. >> a fantastic the >> says do a fantastic the police do a fantastic job but are very vulnerable to bad press. this should not be so . press. this should not be so. but it is. the police have to pick up all the failings of other services such as social services, and they so much services, and they spend so much time dealing with those sorts of things rather than actually doing job. i think that's doing their job. i think that's very true. i mean, how many police have heard police officers have we heard complain they're police officers have we heard complras they're police officers have we heard complras social they're police officers have we heard complras social care they're police officers have we heard complras social care workers, acting as social care workers, how they're therapists ? >> sometimes 7 >> sometimes they're acting as danger when, when, when, like in that video that went viral of one these stabbing incidents one of these stabbing incidents yesterday, everyone is sitting there frozen in their there sort of frozen in their place. they don't quite know what to do. our police officers are expected to run towards that sort of danger. and many, many of them do on a daily basis, almost . it is quite a remarkable almost. it is quite a remarkable thing, and i think perhaps we should maybe thank our police more often than we do. yeah. and i do, i do, but i do think there is a problem with some of them projecting weakness. >> i do think that that is fair

to say but should we get to say too, but should we get your ? your headlines? >> very good afternoon to you. it's 2:03. i'm aaron armstrong in the gb newsroom. the chancellor says he believes thames water is solvent despite shareholders withholding extra cash to keep it afloat. half £1 billion was to be injected before the end of this month , before the end of this month, which shareholders say the business plan is uninvestable all they want the regulator, ofwat, to increase customer bills by up to 40% over five years. it comes as rowers taking part in this weekend's boat race have been warned of high levels of e coli as a result of thames water dumping raw sewage. the company serves nearly a quarter of the uk's population and has debts of more than £15 billion. >> treasury will continue to monitor very carefully what's happening at thames water. our understanding is that the company is still solvent and today's news should not have an

impact on the services received by customers. obviously there are parts of the country where the service has not been up to scratch, including in my own constituency, and local mps will continue to hold thames water to account in those situations . but account in those situations. but overall, we will continue to watch the situation very carefully . carefully. >> a teenager has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after an alleged stabbing on a london train yesterday afternoon. it happened between shortlands and beckenham, just before 4:00 on a train bound for victoria station . footage shared victoria station. footage shared on social media showed a masked man attacking another man with a large knife, while concerned passengers can be heard calling for help, the victim , in his for help, the victim, in his 20s, remains in critical but stable condition in hospital . stable condition in hospital. sir keir starmer says britain wants change and has vowed to revive levelling up for regions dunng revive levelling up for regions during labour's local election campaign. speaking at an event in the west midlands, sir keir said he had hoped to be there to

little explanation. it means homeowners can be locked into costly contracts with little right to redress . the government right to redress. the government dropped its pledge to scrap leaseholds last year. labour's housing spokesperson, baroness taylor, called the government's current proposal a shell of a bill that won't offer the security. homeowners were promised . the archbishop of promised. the archbishop of canterbury has called on people to pray this easter weekend for the jailed journalist, evan gershkovich . good friday marks a gershkovich. good friday marks a year since the wall street journal reporter was detained in russia on charges of spying. no evidence has been presented for the allegations. he's the first us journalist to be arrested in russia since the cold war . russia since the cold war. justin welby says journalists around the world be around the world should be protected and free to hold those in power to account . millions of in power to account. millions of people are being urged to send metre readings to their supplier to ensure they don't overpay . to ensure they don't overpay. the average household energy

manhunt is underway . manhunt is underway. >> now it's worth saying that the cases don't appear to be unked the cases don't appear to be linked to very separate incidents as it stands. but joining us now from bromley is gb news reporter, ray addison, and i believe we also have gb news home and security editor mark white, who's in kennington. thank you very much indeed. ray, we'll start with you. an arrest has . have we heard has been made. have we heard any further updates ? further updates? >> well, we know that a knife has also been recovered. british transport police revealing that detail, not saying whether it was in the possession of the 19 year old man who has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. but a knife nonetheless recovered. we of course, we know that around 4:00 yesterday afternoon, police received those emergency service alerts from the public stating that two men had been fighting as they entered a train at shortlands. and then, of course, we saw that disturbing video on

social media filmed by a passenger , which showed that passenger, which showed that attack on the train as it was heading towards victoria. now one man was seen on that train wearing black and, wearing a face mask as well. members of the public clearly disturbed and calling the emergency services . calling the emergency services. when the train got to beckenham junction, there was a large police presence eventually arrived and a man were now told in his 20s was treated at the scene before being airlifted to a major trauma centre. now we're being told that he's in a critical but stable condition and specialist officers were told are also assisting his family at this time. british transport police with this latest statement saying they hope that this arrest will bring some reassurance to those who use the rail network. i have to say, i've been speaking to a lot of passengers here, regular commuters, people who live here in bromley, and they're saying

that this area has changed significantly after the last couple of years. they're very concerned to let their their children, their youngsters get on rail network. and part of on the rail network. and part of that, they're putting down to the fact that there isn't any kind of, ticket barriers here at the station . there never has the station. there never has been. and there's a theory from one man that i spoke to that that could be an encouragement to those who wish to commit crime in this area. to those who wish to commit crime in this area . they know crime in this area. they know that can come and go that they can come and go without that barrier in without having that barrier in place to stop them getting through without a ticket. now, police patrols have been increased. we're told, across the local stations in this neighbouring area . however, i've neighbouring area. however, i've been here since 630 this morning. i've not seen a single police patrol so far, and i found out earlier on today as well. there's a british transport police office here at the station, on platform between platforms three and four. however, you wouldn't know it. there's no signage. i've seen no

officers from british transport police at all. and i would wonder how many people here who use this station every day would actually be aware of the of the fact that there is that police presence or supposedly that police presence here at the station. so police obviously have made this arrest. now, a 19 year old man remains in custody. i haven't seen a single police officer despite this incident . officer despite this incident. >> that's quite shocking. >> that's quite shocking. >> well, i mean, perhaps there have been all hands on deck on this manhunt. it does seem that there has been at least one suspect arrested that case. suspect arrested in that case. but, ray, thank you for that. shall we cross across to kennington, where, of course, an active manhunt underway active manhunt is still underway for mark white. what's the very latest there ? latest there? >> well, i can tell you there are british transport police officers here at kennington tube station, both on the outside and inside the tube station. as that investigation continues , as the

investigation continues, as the incident itself unfolded at 1030 last night on the northbound platform at kennington tube station, when a man was stabbed, another man, a commuter on the platform, try to intervene bravely to try to help this man who was being stabbed, and he himself then was attacked by an individual who fled the scene. we're told by the metropolitan police and british transport police, this individual has not been traced so far. now we haven't had any kind of description released by the metropolitan police, the british transport police . no pictures transport police. no pictures either of the individual that they're looking for. now, that might indicate that they are confident of a line of enquiry that might take them to a suspect, and they don't yet need the public's help, but no description , no pictures

description, no pictures released as yet about this individual , released as yet about this individual, we're told that the two victims were the police believe. anyway that they didn't know their attacker . know their attacker. >> well, let's hope the suspect is found and apprehended sooner rather than later. thank you very much indeed. mark white there kennington and of there from kennington and of course, ray addison, who is in bromley. very bromley. thank you very much indeed. >> well, should get some >> well, should we get some context general context in the general atmosphere of crime now in the caphal atmosphere of crime now in the capital, the former metropolitan police officer, graham whetton joins us now. and graham, do you get the sense that there is this , this growing crime problem, this growing violent crime problem in our capital city? >> good afternoon, i think it's documented that there's an increase in in violent crime, increase in in violent crime, increase in in violent crime, increase in knife crime. >> they're both priorities, along with many other things for policing across the capital. >> so yeah, there is a sense of

these violent crimes. >> these knife crimes as well are increasing across the caphal >> it's something the police are aware of and working to try and combat this. aware of and working to try and coni)at this. aware of and working to try and con! think s. aware of and working to try and con! think it's happening . >> i think it's happening. >> i think it's happening. >> sorry you broke up there, graham. >> why do you think it's happening? why do you think we're seeing what appears to be an these types of an increase in these types of brazen attacks? i mean, one in broad daylight on a train with commuters just sitting there, another on a platform at a major train station , presumably there train station, presumably there were people around. i mean, these aren't, no one's trying to hide anything anymore . it seems hide anything anymore. it seems now and again with 24 over seven news, we're getting to hear about these things a lot quicker than we used to. >> so there were incidents, instances more of the instances before more of the violent crime and knife crime. instances before more of the vio|but crime and knife crime. instances before more of the vio|but why? and knife crime. instances before more of the vio|but why? it's! knife crime. instances before more of the vio|but why? it's happening.e. >> but why? it's happening. there's a number of reasons, they're really scared of any they're not really scared of any sort like, deterrent. sort of, like, deterrent. there's being there's no no fear about being caught , no there's no no fear about being caught, no fear about there's no no fear about being caught , no fear about the caught, no fear about the punishment they're likely to get if they are caught, if they are

convicted. >> so i think it's a number of factors to we're factors there as to why we're seeing this. factors there as to why we're see you this. factors there as to why we're seeyou mentioned, i think an >> you mentioned, i think in an intro earlier well, intro earlier on about, well, someone mentioned etc. someone mentioned drugs etc. there's why there's a number of factors why these place. there's a number of factors why the it place. there's a number of factors why the it can place. there's a number of factors why the it can be place. there's a number of factors why the it can be literally, :e. there's a number of factors why the it can be literally, just >> it can be literally, just someone disrespecting somebody . someone disrespecting somebody. so an attack violent crime so an attack or violent crime takes it can be over takes place or it can be over a dispute over an area of ground around drugs, etc. so there's a number of factors. it's all speculation, the moment speculation, but at the moment that'll be part of the inquiries that'll be part of the inquiries that the investigation team will be motive for the be looking at the motive for the for these attacks. for both these attacks. >> it does >> and it does seem unfortunately , that disproportionately, young disproportionately, it is young black men in the capital who are carrying knives , why is that? do carrying knives, why is that? do we know ? we know? >> no, i think it's just again, it comes down to, maybe again , it comes down to, maybe again, it comes down to, maybe again, it comes down to, maybe again, it comes down to socio economic reasons. you know, the we've heard this before, how they're brought of brought up, the lack of opportunity , the lack of opportunity, the lack of employment, etc, etc. and they get drawn into a life of crime, criminal activity. and that leads them on to violent crime, which leads them then possibly on to knife crime. so a number

of factors. but for policing, it's challenging to deal with these because as we saw yesterday, they can happen literally from one end of the capital to other. capital to the other. >> just it very hard to >> i just find it very hard to believe that there's lack believe that there's a lack of employment you go, you employment anywhere. you go, you see, pubs and all the like sort of advertising for more staff. there are a million job vacancies in the united kingdom. we've got a very low rate of unemployment. i mean, can we really blame the sort of socioeconomic factors on this? >> i think it's a factor. but i think when you speak to young people, it's almost the job that they want isn't out there. there's the job. there are jobs out there, they're very out there, but they're at a very low very paid. and low level, very low paid. and dare it with some some of dare i say it with some some of the criminal activities, there's possibly to earn possibly the potential to earn money, earn more money by going into a life of crime. and that's what you're combating here. it's almost like, you know, which route going take. route are they going to take. but policing, real but for policing, it's a real challenge. many challenge. and one of many priorities they face. priorities that they face. >> and graham, the difficult question, because don't want question, because i don't want to be seen to bash the police

because respect the job they because i respect the job they do. dangerous that do. it's a dangerous job that not many could do, but has not many of us could do, but has the quality sometimes gone down, or least the priorities, or at least the priorities, priorities ? priorities? >> i think the i think when you're looking at and it's well documented, policing has a problem with recruitment at the moment . there's not enough moment. there's not enough people wanting to come into policing, it's common sense policing, so it's common sense really. if you've got less people applying and you have to take a certain number to keep your numbers up, then possibly the quality coming in isn't isn't was . the training isn't as it was. the training isn't as it was. the training isn't the same as it was, and more importantly, and this goes across the board regardless of those two factors, the experience on the frontline isn't there anymore. it's the experience on the frontline. you can at quality of officers can look at quality of officers at the moment. and i sought recruits for seven years. i had some really high quality recruits who i kept in touch with when actually got out in with when i actually got out in the within about a year the street within about a year or they most or two, they were the most experienced person team experienced person on their team . retention issue in . so it's a retention issue in policing. key. need

policing. that's key. you need experienced people on the teams to people coming to train the new people coming in. you can't gain quality without having experienced there to teach you what that quality is and what it is a worry, isn't it? >> if you if you if you're a police officer for two years and you don't don't you you don't you don't quite like decide it's like it and just decide to, it's for not you. >> but but more so. we hear politicians all the time talk about numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers 20,000 here, whatever other number we're talking about . and not every number is the same. if someone is leaving the force with a decade of experience, they are going to be a much bigger loss than perhaps. perhaps it will take many more to make up for the work and the experience and knowledge experience and the knowledge that that person leaving had. >> point, and >> that's a great point, and it's one i've mentioned on many interviews, this 20,000 figure we new politicians, we keep hearing new politicians, quote, saying they've recruited 20,000 more. they've lost almost that but they've lost it that much, but they've lost it in experience with 15, 20 year, 25 year experienced officers being replaced with 1 or 2 year service officers. you can't replace, you can't buy

experience, you can't replace experience. it's retention. it's the big issue. but then recruitment is now becoming an even greater issue because they can't get the numbers in to replace people leaving . replace those people leaving. >> we need the experienced ones to little longer. to stick around a little longer. maybe mean more maybe that does mean more pay. >> it's really important >> well, it's a really important point. thank you so point. and graham, thank you so much and talking much for joining us and talking us i it's an us through it. i mean, it's an angle that i think we don't touch upon enough. you know, you just 20,000 20,000 just say, oh, 20,000 in, 20,000 out. it's not out. that's the same. it's not the are different the same. these are different people, of people, different levels of experience, terms of experience. >> we're not all equal, >> yeah. we're not all equal, it's controversial thing it's a controversial thing to say , but, no equal, but say, but, no equal, but different. but don't use that phrase that's, that's very separate but equal vibes. that's not. well, so we know, i know, i know, i know, i know the foreign office issued a warning to football fans ahead of the euros. >> get this. they've told us, they've warned us that german beer more strong than, beer is far more strong than, our uk beer, is this a problem ? our uk beer, is this a problem? should there be a warning? >> should german beer and engush >> should german beer and english beer be equals , it's

english beer be equals, it's a question. more on very

soon. good afternoon. britain. 2:24. and it's a penalty for german been >> yes, because the foreign office has issued a warning to engush office has issued a warning to english football fans . i think english football fans. i think only english football fans travelling to the euros in germany this summer. because get this german beer apparently packs more of a punch than a british brew. >> yes, fans are being told to dnnk >> yes, fans are being told to drink responsibly early as drunk fans risk being barred from stadiums. but is this nanny state overkill? and is german beer really all that well? >> can an englishman be trusted with german beer ? with german beer? >> well, big questions, big

questions. all. joining us now is english football fan tom thompson. he's going to the euros and we're told loves a been euros and we're told loves a beer. tom, were you surprised by the foreign office of all places issuing this advice ? yes. issuing this advice? yes. >> oh it's hilarious really. i mean, i don't know any football fan on the planet that will be taking that in any way seriously at all. i mean, could you imagine being in a bar with all of your friends and you're you're at the bar at your round and you're just like, sorry, guys, to hold up here. guys, i need to hold up here. the foreign office have said this makes me feel bit this stuff makes me feel a bit silly . so half all silly. so it's half waters all round. think absolutely round. i think it's absolutely nuts. yeah, we i don't think nuts. so yeah, we i don't think anyone will paying too much anyone will be, paying too much attention to that for sure. >> although some english football fans do let us down sometimes. don't they, when they're abroad, they can behave in, well, they make a disgrace of themselves at times . could of themselves at times. could this warning, you know, give them second thoughts, no, probably not. i reckon . yeah. probably not. i reckon. yeah. like you say, 99% of people

there. so have a great time . there. so have a great time. wherever they're from. it's not just england fans, it's fans. you know, countries have, you know, other countries have, you as well. i know you know, issues as well. i know england reputation . england fans have a reputation. but end of the day, if you are one of those people are one of those people who are going cause an issue, going out to cause an issue, then sure the foreign then i'm fairly sure the foreign office isn't going to make an impact on that whatsoever. >> this is probably not. >> no, this is probably not. >> no, this is probably not. >> about the first >> it's just about the first time hearing a time that i'm hearing that a german apparently more german beer is apparently more alcoholic i'm alcoholic than british beer. i'm someone who enjoys a german beer hall, but i didn't realise that it was so much, so much more alcoholic . alcoholic. >> well, we went out to, munich in january, and i mean, i love the beer over there. it feels it just feels better, to be honest. it may be a little bit stronger, but again, pretty sure, you know, pretty quickly if, if it's starting to have an impact on you. but i mean , you know, you. but i mean, you know, thinking over the last weekend in in the pub and there are in the, in the pub and there are some terrible beers in there like, you know , you can't it's like, you know, you can't it's not an english beer, but carlsberg's and all rest of carlsberg's and all the rest of it, they're other brands are

available. >> i wonder what the >> i just wonder what the i wonder what the thought process here it just, killjoy civil here is. it just, killjoy civil servants? i mean, have they had a warning from the fa or from the, the german foreign office that they need to do something about this? i wonder how it happens. >> oh, i think i know what it must be. it's so that when inevitably, english inevitably, some english football , the football fans misbehave, the foreign office will be able to go. not our fault. we told you this. >> exactly right. yes. tick box exercise . that's all it is, and exercise. that's all it is, and like i say, you know, no one's listening to those sponges over there. just trying to, you know, navigate what people are doing. so i certainly won't be paying any attention . any attention. >> well, i hope you have a wonderful time at euros and wonderful time at the euros and be careful with that german been be careful with that german beer. i've heard, i've heard it's british beer. it's stronger than british beer. it's it's. be it's absent clearly. it's. so be careful it. and there's careful with it. and there's always prosecco . if you fancy always prosecco. if you fancy something little more, something a little more, a little different. anyway, thank you very much. tom thompson, engush you very much. tom thompson, english football fan and beer lover. great, well, there you go i >>i

>> i thought the biggest issue with, you know, drinking in, in sort of german beer halls isn't the, the strength of the beer. it's the fact that they don't give you pint glasses . they give give you pint glasses. they give you steins of the thing. these are enormous glass tankards, where where, frankly, you don't know many pints you've had know how many pints you've had because you don't know how many pints to a stein how many. pints to a stein and how many. i mean, it's well, pullstring is not not helpful. >> written in. and says not not helpful. >> englishn in. and says not not helpful. >> english beersind says not not helpful. >> english beers are says not not helpful. >> english beers are like ays some english beers are like washing water. can is washing up water. a good can is carpaccio from poland? nine, carpaccio 9% from poland? nine, which available, 9. which is widely available, 9. that's like a wine, isn't it? a cheap and paul says that's cheap wine and paul says that's it. target the england fans. regarding the german beer , i regarding the german beer, i find comment racist and find that comment racist and discriminatory. find that comment racist and discriminatory . well, there you go. >> oh, i think i think xenophobic is the word you're looking for more than racist. after all the anglo—saxons did come from saxony. >> i'll take that . paul tom >> i'll take that. paul tom moore told you there, but yes it is. it's always the english football fans that get a bad rap , isn't it? >> well, maybe. maybe we need to start strengthening up our beer a bit. i know that the

government brought taxes government brought in new taxes as, last year or the year before at budget that said that our at the budget that said that our alcoholic drinks are going to be taxed as a proportion of the alcohol. so if they're more alcoholic, tax and alcoholic, there's more tax and less alcoholic, less tax. is this perverse market this some perverse market meddling from the government trying to make our beer weaker? >> so your absinthe would, cost a lot of tax? yes. and you're. >> and to be fair, i understand. >> and to be fair, i understand. >> i understand the logic, right. it was getting rid of the old eu system where the taxes just made no sense at all. there was no rhyme nor reason. depending on what, what sort of thing, where it was brewed or whatever, that would be the different level of tax. at least it's simple now. low alcohol, low tax, alcohol, high tax. low tax, high alcohol, high tax. although some might argue you might want it the other way round. >> well there you go. but coming up we're going hear from our up we're going to hear from our political been political editor. we've been waiting christopher political editor. we've been waitir because christopher political editor. we've been waitirbecause he's christopher political editor. we've been waitir because he's chri with|er hope because he's been with the labour party leader, sir keir starmer. i wonder what he's had to what is? christopher to say. what is? christopher asked him, and is he convinced?

>> it's 235. you're watching and listening to good afternoon, britain . now, the tory era of britain. now, the tory era of politics as a performance art is coming to an end, said labour leader sir keir starmer this morning during his speech in dudley as labour launched their local election campaign. >> well, this comes as deputy labour leader angela rayner is once again under the fire, under fire because police are reassessing claims that angela rayner broke electoral law in the early 2010s, when she lived between two council houses in stockton. this all relates to selling one of those houses and not paying capital gains tax. upon that sale. that's the

allegation, yes. >> so the police are reassessing whether they were wrong to not investigate this. so we'll find out more. but joining us now is our political editor , our political editor, christopher hope, who has been with sir keir starmer all day . with sir keir starmer all day. lucky you christopher hope. christopher tell us were many questions asked about the whole angela rayner tax affair. council house. >> yeah. hi, tom. hi, amelia. they were asked here in dudley. angela rayner was in the front row of the speech that keir starmer gave. it was to launch the party's , may the 2nd local the party's, may the 2nd local election campaign . but the election campaign. but the questions amongst the journalists soon turned to angela rayner. of course, she's been on the broadcasting rounds today , making clear that she today, making clear that she feels she's done nothing wrong, has taken legal advice, tax advice and whether she owns two things on the sale of this property in greater manchester in 2015. any capital gains tax was that owed because was she living in that property or a different one? and indeed was

renee the electoral renee with the electoral register? was was that okay? was that all up to speed? was she in the right house? and greater manchester police are looking again, whether there's been any illegality for sir keir starmer, he's made very clear that he believes angela rayner. he says he's full, his full he's got her full, his full confidence and his full confidence in her and his full support, but quite interestingly, he , he says that interestingly, he, he says that he hasn't looked at nor asked to look at the legal advice given to angela rayner to say, there's been nothing wrong here, and you might wonder why a top qc, a former director of public prosecutions , hasn't asked to prosecutions, hasn't asked to look at the legal advice given to angela rayner, making clear she has done nothing wrong. well, we don't know yet, but as things stand, this legal advice, tax advice is not going to be published. sir keir starmer was asked that in a question and answer session speech . answer session after the speech. he wouldn't expect he said you wouldn't expect anyone that kind anyone else to publish that kind of in public life. of information in public life. so why should andrew gwynne be any certainly the any different? and certainly the crowd us, journalists in

crowd behind us, journalists in that were on the side of that speech were on the side of angela rayner. it was quite an interesting speech . tom and interesting speech. tom and emily, just on a wider point, he said that the time for no more political hero complexes is oven political hero complexes is over. i asked him for gb news. why is it then, that rachel reeves david lammy praised margaret thatcher and indeed sir keir starmer is almost supporting and praising a bit of bofis supporting and praising a bit of boris johnson's ideas on levelling up, although he disputes it's been carried out . disputes it's been carried out. but the labour's idea is this new take back control act of course, he made clear he was supporting these tories because he likes the idea of single minded purpose and he wants to copy that. so in the case of margaret thatcher and with levelling up, he thinks it's a good idea, badly executed. >> it's interesting , chris, >> it's interesting, chris, because he's chosen dudley to launch this local election campaign and to say that, you know, levelling up was a promise that was never fulfilled, that it was just political words that wasn't followed through . but

wasn't followed through. but dudley is getting a £24 million bus and tram station revamp, an £18 million leisure centre has been built in the last two years, £80 million has gone into dudley town centre for the whole regeneration. there's a very light rail research centre recently opened in the town and a 38,000 square foot ice rink as part of all of this levelling up regeneration. it's hard to think of a place that perhaps has had more intensity in terms of its levelling up funding. is this a misstep from sir keir starmer ? misstep from sir keir starmer? >> i don't think so. certainly the announcements are there. but if you talk to local journalists in this area, they think that the money hasn't come through yet. and saw that in yet. and we saw that in darlington when rishi sunak went there for for the gb there with for the for the gb news people's panel. the big question, a big gripe in darlington was they keep applying for levelling up money and little in fact nothing and very little in fact nothing

at that point had got to them. so keir starmer made the point that of levelling money that 90% of levelling up money hasn't out yet. so hasn't been handed out yet. so there to be a problem there appears to be a problem with announcements with the announcements you're describing course, the describing, of course, but the plumbing, that plumbing, the wiring to get that money into these communities isn't working. and this is the document they've given out document which they've given out here, by the labour party. they are trying to rhiannon take back control to their language. are trying to rhiannon take back contyouo their language. are trying to rhiannon take back contyou take their language. are trying to rhiannon take back contyou take back' language. are trying to rhiannon take back contyou take back control|ge. are trying to rhiannon take back contyou take back control act and you take back control act almost adopting the language of brexit and trying to understand why people voted to leave in 2016 and such numbers. that's an idea which sir keir starmer spent some time getting to understand, to know. and that's why think in someone like why i think he's in someone like dudley. big dudley. yes, those big announcements course, announcements time. of course, you're that. but it's you're right on that. but it's not on the ground not being seen on the ground here. and that's why i think labour can improve labour thinks they can improve what think is a good idea. what they think is a good idea. badly executed. >> in fact , with that £24 >> yes. in fact, with that £24 million bus and tram station revamp, turning it into a really rather superb looking , splendid rather superb looking, splendid structure. well, in order to do that, it's currently closed. so

all dudley has got right now is all dudley has got right now is a closed bus station. and of course, in a couple of years time it will look amazing. i mean, but the short time electoral impact of some of these projects, ironically, could negative . could be negative. >> that's right. and i should say, while we're in dudley , it say, while we're in dudley, it could also be they had been expecting labour to be launching their general election campaign today because of course, it would have been had to be called by by mr sunak on the 26th, two days ago to have an election on may the 2nd. so it may mean they'd booked this venue in dudley in expectation of launching either local election dudley in expectation of launching or:her local election dudley in expectation of launching or the local election dudley in expectation of launching or the bigil election dudley in expectation of launching or the big one,ction dudley in expectation of launching or the big one, then campaign or the big one, the general election campaign. as it is, we move forward maybe in june or more likely in october, november . november. >> surely keir starmer and angela rayner can't wriggle out of this scrutiny over the tax and this council home. i mean, and this council home. i mean, and angela rayner is very much on record calling for tax affairs of other opposition mps to her conservative mps calling

for their tax affairs to be made pubuc for their tax affairs to be made public because she suspects , and public because she suspects, and others have suspected that things weren't done by the book. so why on earth should it be different when comes to different when it comes to angela rayner? if she's done nothing wrong, why not just, you know, transparent ? know, be transparent? >> well, sir keir starmer is making very clear he takes at face value the denials from angela rayner that there has been some expert, expert evidence put forward. he has not asked to see that he's allowed his advisers to see that he hasn't seen it himself. i should say that sir keir starmer has allowed himself to be interviewed me gb news interviewed by me for gb news and in fact, i can say i did go into some detail on those questions , but i can't reveal questions, but i can't reveal what was until p.m. what was said until 3 pm. today. that'll do. today. well that'll do. >> watching. today. well that'll do. >> newsching. today. well that'll do. >> news on1g. today. well that'll do. >> news on mark martin >> gb news on mark martin daubney, . daubney, show. >> so yes, that will be very interesting to see what he says . interesting to see what he says. i'm sure you you press him on that, , you know, the that, because, you know, the story keeps coming up and then sort of tempering out, doesn't it? >> and it's interesting. i think a lot of people sometimes feel

that were this a question asked of a government minister, there'd be so much more pressure on it. but because it's an opposition minister, even though this is an opposition that everyone thinks is going to be in government in six months time , it just has less bite. but christopher , hope we look christopher, hope we look forward to your interview at. oh, sorry. yes. do go on. >> well, i was going to say, i mean to be the journalist repeatedly asked questions in the press conference of this and, and others have been pressing after that about the issue , angela rayner's affairs. issue, angela rayner's affairs. and i think, you know, we are trying to the bottom of trying to get to the bottom of it viewers. i think, as you it for viewers. i think, as you say, towards the say, as we go towards the election, on these election, the scrutiny on these rather unknown members of the shadow cabinet compared to the actual cabinet grow and actual cabinet will grow and grow. yes >> thank you very much indeed. christopher hope, our political editor dudley . i guess editor there in dudley. i guess it's the principle, isn't it's about the principle, isn't it? know there was it? need to know if there was some there some wrongdoing. there regardless of some wrongdoing. there regardlin; of some wrongdoing. there regardlin particular? of money in particular? >> just minutes >> well, just 16 minutes time until interview , until we see that interview, that sit down interview with sir keir starmer, chris hope says

he's a held sir keir starmer's feet to the fire has grilled him and i'm looking forward to seeing it. but coming up, children's books , including children's books, including classics like peter pan and alice in wonderland are coming with trigger warnings with cautions that they contain messages of white supremacist . messages of white supremacist. what's this about? more after this

? >> before we crack on to 7 >> before we crack on to the bizarre story about trigger warnings on alice in wonderland, let's get some of your views at home on the television. should we talk about views on the television? >> people think that it's a technology that's gone too far. >> views on the television, smarty pants . they think. smarty pants. they think. >> they think they used to be television. used to be better

when only four when there were only four channels. completely channels. know completely disagree . there disagree with that, no. there have people writing in have been people writing in about discussion about the german beer discussion that we have had, jean has that we have had, and jean has said german beers are said that german beers are likely between 4.5 and 5.4, whereas in english ale can be 6. so don't know where the foreign office are getting their whole sort of scare story. >> i don't know about that because someone else emailed in and i've forgotten and the name i've forgotten forgotten so sorry, forgotten your name. so sorry, but you emailed in saying 19% nine common in germany. i refused to believe stronger than strong into a munich beer hall and you poured your stein of whatever they have on tap on house. >> and i refuse to believe that will be 19, graham says. look on the bright side . if german beer the bright side. if german beer is stronger, it'll take less to reach the same effect. so surely an economic bonus? yes >> but what are you going to do in your spare time? if you've got hours, drink more slowly. dan got hours, drink more slowly. drink some water, slowly. drink some water, drink slowly. nurse lukewarm beer. don't nurse a lukewarm beer. don't think so. >> maybe alternate with a zero

alcohol and a german beer. alcohol beer and a german beer. there you go. >> are always >> there are always non—alcoholic beers available. >> says most >> yeah, although gary says most german beers are 5% plus, the brewing uses natural ingredients do not contain chemical ingredients. come on, gary, chemicals are natural. also. have you ever seen how many e—numbers are in a banana? genuinely, genuinely me because an e number is just how you denote sugar. you look at the e numbers in a peach or a banana or an apple. it's full of them. so let's not say chemicals. >> tom's fun at parties , aren't >> tom's fun at parties, aren't you? tell, and, ross has got in touch because he's got a bone to pick with us. well, and our headlines, which we aren't always responsible for, says, always responsible for, he says, just headline. just seeing your headline. and i'd like to out that the i'd like to point out that the eu not do pints . eu does not do pints. >> when did we say pints? it must be. i've been saying steins. i hope i've been pronouncing it correctly . dust pronouncing it correctly. dust is good. to be fair. >> russ has said lots of love, so i don't think he's too upset about it. >> don't think no, no, but,

>> i don't think no, no, but, there have more serious there have been more serious issues we've been issues as well. we've been talking lawless state talking about the lawless state of our city. and of our capital city. and margaret, has written in to say following the train attack in bromley, it appears it's not just nightclubs having metal detectors. there's detectors. i think there's a call for lots of other places having them, too. >> but it's sad if you had to introduce turnstiles and barriers, , because of barriers, because, because of crime, that's a society we want to in. surely want to to be in. surely we want to squeeze in one more story before the of show, because the end of the show, because children's peter the end of the show, because chil so these warnings are being applied to squat colonial narratives . that's that's the narratives. that's that's the claim commonly found in adventure stories and famous novels from the victorian era . novels from the victorian era. well, joining us now is the actor charlie lawson . and actor charlie lawson. and charlie, these warnings have been applied to peter pan and
