this morning. well, that's because you had a wild, exciting night. because it was in effect, 2:00 the morning getting up. 2:00 in the morning getting up. >> yeah . i get up at 2:00 and >> yeah. i get up at 2:00 and put this full face of makeup on for just you and for you. you don't want to see what it looks like without it. believe me, we've all seen it on instagram. >> you look gorgeous. >> you look gorgeous. >> about >> oh, yeah, i forgot about that. sorry. yeah. >> anyway, happy >> yes. anyway, look, happy easter. importantly, people easter. most importantly, people up country today up and down the country today will be celebrating families either heading to church or perhaps just having lunch or enjoying their easter chocolates. >> oh, that sounds lovely. and our politicians have also released their easter messages with prime minister rishi sunak saying for many of us in the uk, easter is a chance to pause and reflect and an opportunity to spend some precious time with our families and a moment to enjoy the start of spring. so this weekend, let me wish you all a very happy and peaceful easter, sir keir starmers easter message says the easter story is one of hope and renewal of

overcoming adversity and light prevailing over darkness . as prevailing over darkness. as families and friends gather to celebrate, we turn our thoughts towards new beginnings, our future , and how things can future, and how things can change for the better . that future, and how things can change for the better. that was subtle. >> well, one's looking back and the other one's looking forward. i wonder which one's doing which . yes, and of course, easter is one of the holiest days on the christian calendar is celebrated all over the world. so thrilled to say joining us now is father fadi diab, rector of saint andrew's church, located in the city of ramallah in the west bank. only 15km away from jerusalem , father, good morning jerusalem, father, good morning to you. thank you so much for joining us this morning and wishing you a very, very happy easter , how how's things? where easter, how how's things? where you are at the moment? we're waking up on this easter morning and there is so much conflict and there is so much conflict and strife in the world, but in particular where you are .

particular where you are. >> good morning to you. and, happy easter to you and to all our friends in the uk. well, as, as you mentioned, this is a time, when the palestinian , time, when the palestinian, christian church celebrate easter in the holy land , with, easter in the holy land, with, sadness , and, challenges that sadness, and, challenges that continues to, to, prevail in the life of the palestinian people, despite despite all the sadness, the christians celebrate easter with joy and hope that this, they , will, will bring change. they, will, will bring change. that christ resurrection, is, the prevalence of life over death and hope over despair is, i mean, i know it's , it's cold i mean, i know it's, it's cold comfort to many. >> but the idea, i mean, one

thing which we learn over easter weekend, of course, is that sometimes suffering is necessary. >> well, suffering is part of what it means to be human, it is not god's intent for god's world, and that that is why i believe that the christmas message is, the prevalence of life over suffering and the end of suffering, the prevalence of light, over darkness , i don't i light, over darkness, i don't i don't believe that the killing of 32,000 palestinians and the injury of more than 80,000 people as necessary , people as necessary, unfortunately, this is part of human, human pride and human power, however, god uses that suffering, uses that suffering to transform , it into, joy

to transform, it into, joy through the christian through the easter message , it is very the easter message, it is very sad that the, palestinian community, especially those in gaza who have been trapped, in, the sanctuaries of the catholic and orthodox churches now for, six months, for them , easter is six months, for them, easter is a hope that this two will, will will end that . god, god's word will end that. god, god's word is the last word, not the human word, not the human power. and this is this is the resurrection. this is the message of the resurrection that at the end, it's god's word that prevailed . prevailed. >> how do we how do we take hope, though , do you think, hope, though, do you think, father, this easter, when we when you've mentioned that the horrific figures of palestinian casualties in all of this and you know , there's no argument you know, there's no argument here how horrific that is, but

all of this driven by the hate in the hearts of those people in hamas who who started this, who planned the attack on israel in october. we are in a world where hate seems to be getting more prominent , hate seems to be getting more prominent, i'm afraid to say, well, i totally agree with you that, we are experiencing a rise in in hate , and hate speech and in in hate, and hate speech and hate actions , and this is very hate actions, and this is very frightening to our humanity and our creation , i think the way we our creation, i think the way we experience our hope, in the midst of this is, to believe , in midst of this is, to believe, in the power of to love believe in the power of to love believe in the power of god, to transform hearts , to transform hate into hearts, to transform hate into love, to transform our, relationship with the other into

one of a constructive relationship towards humanity. that is, that is the meaning of easter today. that's the meaning of the resurrection . and how the of the resurrection. and how the human person is transformed through the power of god into a new human being. that kind of transformation, what we need in our context and in our world today , very wise words indeed . today, very wise words indeed. >> father diab. good to see you this morning. thanks very much. a very happy, happy easter to all of you. >> thank you . >> thank you. >> thank you. >> well, i mean, that's quite strong. >> it is , isn't it? it is very >> it is, isn't it? it is very strong, unfortunately, running out of time there. i just i mean, because so many people you talk to these days are literally losing faith in religion because of conflicts it causes of the conflicts it causes around the world. and i know religion always causing religion is always causing cause, divide and conflict, but it just seems so. it's so common now that , you know, hate is

now that, you know, hate is winning over love. and it's just so at easter weekend . it's just so at easter weekend. it's just so at easter weekend. it's just so depressing. >> it is. and what what ties into that site there's been all this hoo ha. and i know some of you who've been upset by, for example, the ramadan lights in london and things over easter weekend and i get it, i get it. but actually, if you talk to a lot of religious leaders, including a lot of vicars and priests, that they work within their communities with interfaith groups. yes, yes. so there's an awful lot of that goes on. it seems to be people who perhaps aren't necessarily regular church goers , who get regular church goers, who get very upset about the ramadan lights , whereas maybe a local lights, whereas maybe a local vicar may have got on to the gone to the turning on of the lights or something. it happens all the time. it does. >> there's a brilliant, brilliant synagogue near where my friend lives in north london, and at the end of the ramadan fasting, meal fasting, they hold a meal and they all local they invite all the local community there. so you have jewish people, you have muslim

people, all celebrating together. and it's such a lovely thing do. if only our god, thing to do. if only our god, how much of a oh my god, let's all have a hug do i sound? but if only we could be more like that. >> well, ell that. >> well, is certainly >> well, there is certainly within that there is within religion that there is more in common than divides us. yeah. but anyway, so just, you know, don't get angry about things like that. >> it's easter, it's easter sunday. eggs spend time with those you love and carry on watching stephen and i obviously, right. we are staying with easter , the message in with easter, the message in today's ever increasing secular society, churches are finding harder than ever to have their message heard, and congregations are indeed shrinking. >> so what role should churches be playing in our modern society? our northern ireland reporter dougie beattie , went to reporter dougie beattie, went to an outreach ministry in belfast that deals with addiction and homelessness . homelessness. >> we go out and reach people in society who are broken, many of them living on the streets. and

when they live on the streets, 99% of them then get addicted to drugs in some way. we bring them in and we offer them hope, the hopeis in and we offer them hope, the hope is found in jesus christ. teen challenge can't change anyone but jesus christ can. and we make that plain to the folk, that there is a way out of addiction and there is a way out of the darkness, and there is a way out of the pain and that there is hope. our motto is putting hope within the reach of every addict , putting hope within the reach of every addict, and the hope, which is the name of this building. the hope is jesus. >> as pastor brian madden leads teen challenge in belfast and points to the need for a sense of belonging and belief. >> everyone who comes in here belongs. they don't necessarily go to church, but the love coming here, the love coming to a christian organisation, they they never, ever, ever refuse prayer. i just prayed with a

young man there five minutes ago. i think it's the first time anyone has prayed for him and his life . his life. >> when churches such as this one were first built, they were so much more than a place to worship. they projected power and social standing. they were a communication hub for the community. but do they still have the same relevance today? >> buildings are for the very nature they're buildings that at one time could have fulfilled a very important function, and maybe they don't now. so if you think back to the earlier centuries, walking into a church building could have been a warm and comfortable space, a place where there was a sense of community, where they didn't have other grand buildings . have other grand buildings. imagine walking a cathedral imagine walking into a cathedral and ceilings, the and the high ceilings, the stained glass windows, the grandeur all just spoke of grandeur of it all just spoke of the majesty of god. >> many churches are funding the hope project , >> many churches are funding the hope project, and evangelist keith mitchell says churches may change, but their message must

remain . remain. >> so a core principle shouldn't change and our methods should always be one in terms of what is the culture saying around us and how do we engage in that culture in a way that we are? we are living out love and grace, but also we're embracing truth. we're not compromising on truth and i think the church has a radical message of hope to still bnng radical message of hope to still bring to the world today. and we do that in lots of different ways. so you might be looking at an now and you an old building now and say, you know, this relevant? but know, how is this relevant? but it's from the cafe at the side. and when people here on and when people come in here on a thursday the worship, a thursday night, the worship, they something contemporary, they see something contemporary, they see something contemporary, they new, see they see something new, they see something fresh and in the world today, people need hope. and the church champions hope more than any other religious organisation in the world. >> dougie beattie gb news, belfast . belfast. >> we have got to get out and about there and do good. that's what the church should be doing. >> i mean, that's, that's, that's what it is, is about, isn't it? it's helping people.

>> yeah . for those who look down >> yeah. for those who look down on on people who maybe have a drug addiction or all the rest of mary magdalene, is all i'd say. >> yeah. no quiet prostitute . >> yeah. no quiet prostitute. yeah. well, funny enough, talking of that, i used to do a little bit of charity work in the east end of london with with fallen women as they used to be called. and, you know, all most of them wanted sanitary products. they were living rough. didn't the rough. they didn't have the basics like that. rough. they didn't have the basyou've that. rough. they didn't have the basyou've got, . rough. they didn't have the basyou've got, you know, this is >> you've got, you know, this is you've to reach out to you've got to reach out to people. yeah, preach the gospel at all times and if necessary, use words . yeah, exactly. use words. yeah, exactly. >> kind words. oh my god , we >> kind words. oh my god, we sound very, sort of like, very religious, very woke and cuddly this morning. >> i think my vicar's watching. she'll be delighted. yeah. >> she will. yeah >> she will. yeah >> but there's a lot of let's let's concentrate on goodness. it is. and it's not necessarily woke or or weak or lefty or righty or anything else to be kind. >> what is wrong with being nice to one another? >> i don't know, because you

look at social media now and if you're one of those people who do it, maybe this is a day to reflect on why you do it. >> because just messaged . >> because just messaged. >> because just messaged. >> yeah, but who who puts such nasty things on social media? bitter nasty things. and why would you do it? >> i don't understand why. what gb views are gb news. if you understand this, why do you wake up in the morning, pick your phone up and go , oh, right, phone up and go, oh, right, i know what i'm going to do today. i'm going to be really horrible to whoever it happens to be. >> and you. you don't, if >> and you. and if you don't, if people don't like me, well, you don't like me. yeah. you don't have to like me. yeah. you think you you know, think it's, you know, you know, you don't have to like me, you know? that's perfectly fine. why then you have to copy me then would you have to copy me into that message i can't into that message to say i can't stand stephen dixon, why would you do that? there's a there's a there's an innate nastiness which we, we seem to let out on social media, but. >> yeah. would they say it to your face? >> i don't know, probably not. >> i don't know, probably not. >> let stephen know. vaiews@gbnews.uk. >> you don't have to like me.

you know, i'm not in this world for everyone to like me, so that's fine. but why you need to say you don't like someone i don't know? i like you, odd . i don't know? i like you, odd. i like you, too. thank you. >> well, that's that sorted then, right . shall we have then, right. shall we have a look at some of the other stories heading into the newsroom? it's 616. it is indeed, churches are being warned home secretary to warned by the home secretary to not allow asylum seekers to exploit system by converting not allow asylum seekers to ex christianity. tem by converting not allow asylum seekers to ex christianity. james converting not allow asylum seekers to ex christianity. james cleverly ng to christianity. james cleverly says it's a real difference between welcoming a new member of the congregation and vouching for a person in an asylum tribunal . tribunal. >> the metropolitan police have arrested four people suspected of planning to disrupt the oxford—cambridge boat race on the thames yesterday. the force says it was made aware that protesters were planning to cause disruption, but officers were able to take swift action to intercept the plans. apparently as you'll be aware, probably by now, cambridge claimed a double yesterday, but rowers were warned not to jump

into the water, because of high levels of e coli, and a new video has been released in the united states showing the inside of the container ship that hit the baltimore bridge, causing it to collapse in the river. the footage, released by the national transport safety board is one of the first glimpses inside the vessel that collided with the francis scott key bridge on tuesday. it shows investigators boat investigators inside the boat inspecting damage as they arrived to download the ship's data. crews were still surveying the damage as of midday on friday. a huge crane, which can lift up to 1000 tons, has been put in place to start hauling debns put in place to start hauling debris out of the . water. debris out of the. water. >> now, in his easter message, the prime minister welcomed the opportunity to pause and reflect as he gears up for a general election. >> okay , but a new poll in the >> okay, but a new poll in the mega poll actually calling . it a

mega poll actually calling. it a mega poll actually calling. it a mega poll actually calling. it a mega poll because they asked a lot of people, you know, normally polls are like we chatted to 2000 people, but this is, i think, 15,000. so that's quite lot of people. yeah, quite a lot of people. yeah, i think anyway, new mega poll think so. anyway, new mega poll in times newspaper has in the times newspaper has revealed conservatives are revealed the conservatives are on worst election on track for the worst election results ever. >> found the tories >> well, it found the tories could win fewer than 100 seats. labour predicted labour having a predicted majority i think it was majority of 286. i think it was a whopping majority when boris johnson got 80. >> yeah, that's that's that's a whopping whopping 286 seat majority. that's literally everybody . everybody. >> isn't that the problem with that of course, is that that is, of course, is that would mean the labour party could do anything it wanted. and that's why. who was it the other day saying to chopper, about, you know, there needs to be a, you know, there needs to be a, you need to have a strong opposition for, for democracy sake. a strong sake. you need a strong opposition. just sensible opposition. that's just sensible , which you wouldn't get with that sort of majority. i mean

that's no there will be no opposition whatsoever. >> would they. and and well let's, get someone let's, let's get someone intelligent about intelligent to talk about politics shall we. political commentator jonathan politics shall we. political commentatorjonathan gibson jonathan, thank you very much for joining and happy easter forjoining us. and happy easter to , it comes to something to you, it comes to something when tory supporting when even the tory supporting newspapers the sunday newspapers like the sunday telegraph sunday times telegraph and the sunday times are having a go. and this is a pretty shocking poll, isn't it, absolutely. and good morning and happy easter the both of you. happy easter to the both of you. yes. definitely shocked me yes. this definitely shocked me reading this morning. the reading this. this morning. the fact that even our prime minister, is in minister, rishi sunak, is in danger says a lot about the state of the conservative party and whilst i think it's quite common amongst discussion to talk about that, the conservatives are in for a significant defeat. think the significant defeat. i think the extent to which this poll suggests going suggests that they're going to be is still surprising be defeated is still surprising to people. mean, mps be defeated is still surprising to what people. mean, mps be defeated is still surprising to what labourz. mean, mps be defeated is still surprising to what labour is mean, mps be defeated is still surprising to what labour is estimated mps be defeated is still surprising to what labour is estimated to vips is what labour is estimated to be left with, compared to just 98 from the tory front. we talked about the conservative landslide against jeremy corbyn, but is really going to be

but this is really going to be significant and historical in upturning , what was previously a upturning, what was previously a very strong conservative majority . majority. >> well, well look, it's democracy and the people should get what they vote for. but as i was saying before, that the problem with something of this size 286 seat majority is that it it has the potential to damage the democratic process, doesn't it? in terms of a government being able to do absolutely whatever it wants. >> i mean, i think everyone across all ends of the political spectrum will say it's really important to have a stronger opposition for democracy, and it is concern . unfortunately for is a concern. unfortunately for people in the labour camp, there's nothing they can do about that, and they're possibly quite happy about the fact that we might be able to change some of the policies and some of the trends that are going through politics, been politics, which have been throughout last sort of 13 throughout the last sort of 13 years under the conservative leadership, whether they can do that remains seen. but that remains to be seen. but i think it signifies that people

are fed up with the current status quo , and, you know, they status quo, and, you know, they may face opposition, they may face challenges from backbenchers and mps who seek to rebel from the party line. but i think ultimately they will have far greater mandate to do and to change what they want. obviously it's not an ideal situation and you would want a significant and strong opposition party in order to to account to hold them to account properly. jonathan it is a cliche, obviously, that, you know, you know, a party that had beenin know, you know, a party that had been in government for as long as the conservative party had, people are just going to vote them out because it's the thing to but they're not necessarily >> but they're not necessarily voting you think voting for labour. do you think that's case in this that's the case in this situation? again >> i think that there's a few different reasons why people are moving away from the conservatives. i think part of thatis conservatives. i think part of that is the length of time that they've been in power. part of that has been frustration over key which they key political issues, which they many have felt many in the public have felt have ignored. have been ignored. the leadership which leadership tussles, which have really party, really weakened the party, whether with boris whether it was with boris johnson, liz and rishi johnson, liz truss and rishi sunak and people sort of feeling

ignored voices feeling ignored and their voices feeling very alienated, i think very much alienated, i think with, starmer there's a bit with, keir starmer there's a bit of push and take. there's people possibly feeling that maybe even if we don't really, really want him, we're not really excited by the his leadership. the prospect of his leadership. he a safe pair of he seems like a safe pair of hands, someone who may take into account of our concerns. account some of our concerns. and obviously he's been moving towards ground, which towards the centre ground, which has his appeal to has been growing his appeal to many, who are not, you many, across who are not, you know, far, far left or even in the labour party and a lot of reluctant, often historic sort of conservative, voters or people that hadn't voted in several years are starting to move towards his party, and i think a lot of people who are on the left are sort of grudgingly going to vote for him, knowing that voting green or anywhere else would sort of be a bit of a waste, i would argue. >> would this effectively for a penod >> would this effectively for a period of time at least kill the far left off? i mean, because there'd be he wouldn't have to pander to them. he wouldn't have to have a far left deputy or

anything of anything of that nature at all. would it? the whole, momentum movement would fizzle out, wouldn't it? >> i mean, i think within his party, he's actually done quite a remarkable job of shutting down the far left, as we are seeing right now, today in campaigns and in the way who's allowed to speak, and what the party line is. and i think that's been quite surprising to many in some ways, given that he was serving in jeremy corbyn's cabinet. so i think he's already shown that he's willing to do that. i think actually there will challenges, will be more challenges, if anything, seizes anything, once he seizes power and people like they and these people feel like they have ability to speak have the ability to speak because have got their because they have got their seats been represented. so seats and been represented. so i think will start being think there will start being more challenges. but obviously the might have such the fact that he might have such a will possibly help a landslide will possibly help him some of but him to quash some of that. but when you such a big when you have such a big majority, actually can be majority, it actually can be incredibly difficult to cater to all those different factions and make party is still make sure your party is still happy you. so it might be happy with you. so it might be an incredibly difficult job, even seems on the face even though it seems on the face of that it will be quite of it that it will be quite beneficial such

beneficial for him having such a large majority. >> just briefly, >> jonathan, just very briefly, we're of time, but, we're running out of time, but, penny morden has in this poll also, morden is more also, penny morden is more popular sunak. popular than rishi sunak. if they change leader i they did change leader again, i mean, why not? it's a new week, would that help them? >> don't think it >> possibly. i don't think it would help them enough to significantly overturn this majority or do anything really significant, but i don't really see how it could make their position any worse, given the sort of dire situation they're currently finding themselves in. >> heck, well, that's a sort of analysis they won't want to heat analysis they won't want to hear. happy easter rishi. yeah, jonathan, thanks very much indeed. jonathan, thanks very much indeed . good see you this indeed. good to see you this morning. know it must be if morning. i know it must be if you're if you're a die hard tory, it must be very frustrating that everyone is sort of predicting the results of the election , you're always i of the election, you're always i mean, the thing is, i mean , the mean, the thing is, i mean, the tories are almost themselves. i mean, the leadership of the tory party almost themselves party are almost themselves admitting that it's pretty much admitting that it's pretty much a busted flush, aren't they? >> it's very hard to see how it isn't when you look at a poll

like that, which doesn't just give labour a majority, i mean it. >> let's take over the house, basically. >> i mean, would that be i mean, it's just it's just unbelievable. >> and i think i think it would strengthen momentum and remember, i think it would strengthen i think would i strengthen i think it would i think because i think there will be infighting. >> wouldn't you see my >> angela, wouldn't you see my someone talking about someone was talking to me about this other day and my this the other day and my argument well, presumably argument was, well, presumably all intake at all this new intake would at least for 12 be least for 12 months, be absolutely behind their leader . absolutely behind their leader. >> i'll give it 12 weeks. the way politics are at the moment . way politics are at the moment. i mean, and angela rayner is there. >> well, yeah, but she might not be deputy afterwards. >> no, no no no she might not be. but i think she's, she's got more objects than keir starmer. >> oh, i see, oh i was that goes, right . goes, right. >> let us know what you think about all of that. it's going to be a very interesting election.

whatever the outcome in all of this, that's for sure, is it going to be an interesting easter sunday weather wise, i sort of doubt here's craig. sort of doubt it. here's craig. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> good morning. welcome to your latest gb news weather forecast from the met office. well, today most of us we do start the day with some sunshine, but it will turn increasingly cloudy, especially across the south so we can see the sunshine across many parts of scotland, western england wales. further england and wales. but further east cloud moving east it's already cloud moving in. that will spread its way gradually little bit further gradually a little bit further westward. for many central westward. so for many central and eastern of england are and eastern parts of england are rather grey. afternoon to come brighter elsewhere across england and wales. but the best of sunshine, really, for scotland and northern ireland. but here we will see a scattering of showers, temperatures in the sunshine, not too badly 14 not doing too badly again. 14 or 15 into the evening we 15 degrees into the evening we

some people might be this morning, but losing the our sleep can have a real on sleep can have a real effect on the roads increase risk the roads and an increase risk of accidents due to tiredness. the roads and an increase risk of iwell,nts due to tiredness. the roads and an increase risk of (well, that'se to tiredness. the roads and an increase risk of (well, that's ato tiredness. the roads and an increase risk of (well, that's a very adness. the roads and an increase risk of (well, that's a very fairess. >> well, that's a very fair point. let's talk to sleep expert doctor lindsay browning. good morning to you, lindsay. look, we about look, nothing we can do about it. clocks go forward, and that's the way it but that's just the way it is. but how do compensate for that? how do we compensate for that? how we get the best out of this? >> yeah. brilliant. well, what you it's absolutely the you said, it's absolutely the best weekend for it to happen because way to avoid that because the way to avoid that missing the hour of sleep really is to sure that you've is to make sure that you've either gone to bed last either gone to bed early last night. if we had a time machine or you give yourself a lie in over the next few days, and as long having long as you're not having to work easter monday, work on sunday or easter monday, you'll be able to get a little bit of catch up sleep over the next couple of days, enabling you to avoid that less . you to avoid that hour less. because when the because of course, when the clocks if you don't, if clocks change, if you don't, if you bed at your normal you go to bed at your normal time and you wake up at your normal you're going normal wake time, you're going to hour sleep, which to lose an hour of sleep, which has real impact on tiredness has a real impact on tiredness and you an increased and as you said, an increased risk of road traffic accidents,

of attacks, all of of heart attacks, all sorts of things due that, missed things due to that, that missed houn things due to that, that missed hour, of us will hour, there are a lot of us will get . get. >> when you when you say it's a good weekend though, lindsay, it is an ism because it's also easter obviously, and it's the bank holiday. get why it's good. but there's also lots of chocolate around and i find messing around with the actual clocks affects your body clock and i either end up eating too much at the wrong times of day, or forgetting to eat completely. it does affect every rhythm in our doesn't it? our body, doesn't it? >> our circadian >> absolutely. our circadian rhythm our internal 24 hour rhythm is our internal 24 hour clock. and that's the thing that kind of goes wrong we kind of goes wrong when we change zones or the clock change time zones or the clock change time zones or the clock change . and when we change happens. and when we change happens. and when we change circadian rhythm, change our circadian rhythm, when it, it can when we mess with it, it can affect our metabolism. it affects hormones that affects our hormones that produce our hunger drive. absolutely. it will affect our ability to choose healthy foods. and as well, if you add to that, the fact that you might be a bit sleep deprived, sleep deprived people, people who don't sleep enough tend to an enough hours tend to eat an additional 300 calories a day,

which is quite a lot, additional 300 calories a day, which is quite a lot , really. which is quite a lot, really. and of course, we tend to choose when we're sleep deprived foods such as sugary things, chocolate and yeah , if you're lucky enough and yeah, if you're lucky enough to be surrounded by lots of easter eggs, you're going to definitely reach for those. >> about people? mean >> what about people? i mean a general sort of sleep question, if you like, because there are lots of people who who struggle on regular basis. what do we on a regular basis. what do we do that isn't a because what i do that isn't a because what i do get a bit fed up of is, is all this. well, don't don't watch television. don't don't look at your phone. don't all that. but what can we do apart from apart from all that sort of stuff which people find unavoidable . unavoidable. >> yeah, absolutely. well, if you need to use your phone, you do need to use your phone, which of course, i'm a, i'm a mum, i can't leave my phone downstairs at night because i need to be able to be on call for things. just enable night mode, which takes away some of the bright light which affects our when the clocks our sleep. and when the clocks change. so now this morning, it's good to make it's really good idea to make sure get bright

sure you get as much bright light morning as soon as light this morning as soon as possible when you wake up, because that's to help because that's going to help your rhythm , your your circadian rhythm, your internal clock internal 24 hour clock to move earlier . so internal 24 hour clock to move earlier. so then you'll find it easier to fall asleep tonight at the right time and wake up tomorrow morning. that earlier time. it's going to help get you back track . back on track. >> lindsay. finally, just one question, because i am married to van winkle by the way, if to rip van winkle by the way, if you tired today, is it you are tired today, is it sensible to have a little afternoon or should afternoon nap? or should you just and soldier and just try and soldier on and sleep bedtime so an afternoon sleep at bedtime so an afternoon nap can be amazing for our productivity to help give us a boost in the afternoon . boost in the afternoon. >> but it needs to be afternoon. so about sort of 12 one 2:00 and not later than that. really and it needs to be not too long. so a 20 minute power nap around just after lunchtime after you've had maybe a bit of lamb. easter sunday would be absolutely perfect to give you a bit of a boost to get you through to the evening, and then your circadian rhythm will get back in line so that come

tuesday work time, you'll be back track and sleeping well back on track and sleeping well and bright, and alert. >> brilliant. thank you, doctor lindsay, and a very happy easter to and yours. you. lindsay, and a very happy easter to i and yours. you. lindsay, and a very happy easter to i havei yours. you. lindsay, and a very happy easter to i have a'ours. you. lindsay, and a very happy easter to i have a power you. lindsay, and a very happy easter to i have a power nap. you. >> i have a power nap. >> i have a power nap. >> doesn't work, does it? >> doesn't work, does it? >> i have a power nap. it's three hour power nap. >> that's not a nap. >> that's not a nap. >> night sleep. >> that's night sleep. >> that's night sleep. >> i can't this whole >> honestly, i can't this whole power nap thing, if you can do it. brilliant. and doctor lindsay is absolutely right. yeah, but i can't do it. i can't go to sleep and wake up. 20 minutes later, i'm out cold for three hours. three hours? at least three hours. i'm lucky if i get three hours a night. >> are you really? >> are you really? >> i just don't, i think i'm >> ijust don't, i think i'm a bit more margaret thatcher, but she a bit mad, didn't she did go a bit mad, didn't she? and yeah. yeah, aidan's she? and so. yeah. yeah, aidan's waving me. waving at me. >> what you waving at? >> what are you waving at? >> what are you waving at? >> well good morning everyone. first did a piece with first of all, i did a piece with a sleep expert in my previous job, was telling me job, and he was just telling me how hours thing is a how the eight hours thing is a bit of a myth. so this this is as it pertains to sport. i need more than eight hours because he said he that, you know, you said he said that, you know, you can go said one of the

can go to he said one of the biggest reasons for lack of good sleep quality is things like leaving your heat on overnight because dehydrated because you wake up dehydrated and not ready for the and so you're not ready for the day . you may have slept the day. you may have slept the number hours, the requisite number of hours, the requisite number of hours, the requisite number not number of hours, but you're not going for the day. going to be ready for the day. there were footballers. it was a nightmare for them because they didn't enough. didn't train well enough. if they last the they dehydrated, the last the last see before you go last light you see before you go to bed or wake up should be natural light if possible. obviously morning obviously easier in the morning than the evening, than it is in the evening, especially in the winter winter months, also the hours months, but also the eight hours thing. what happens go months, but also the eight hours thin do vhat happens go months, but also the eight hours thin do a|at happens go months, but also the eight hours thin do a sleep)pens go months, but also the eight hours thin do a sleep consultation go months, but also the eight hours thin do a sleep consultation for go and do a sleep consultation for real madrid or barcelona? they have sleep in have siestas. they sleep in the middle day. not. middle of the day. it's not. they have same, don't they don't have the same, don't have the same sleep pattern as we here. we do over here. >> well, one's gonna be >> well, no one's gonna be having a this afternoon. having a kip this afternoon. they a big football they are a bit of a big football match coming on. it's. match coming on. well, it's. >> look, these >> yeah, i mean, look, these matches between these top twos and the last and top threes in the last couple seasons, they're and top threes in the last couple likezasons, they're and top threes in the last couple like super, they're and top threes in the last couple like super bowl're and top threes in the last couple like super bowl levels. and top threes in the last coupwillke super bowl levels. and top threes in the last coupwill have per bowl levels. and top threes in the last coupwill have aer bowl levels. and top threes in the last coupwill have a global levels. this will have a global television audience. stephen arsenal manchester arsenal going to manchester city looking few looking to exorcise a few demons. 11 demons. they went there 11 months they frittered months ago. they had frittered away point lead. they away an eight point lead. they went they were

it's 644. let's have a look at some of the newspapers this morning. start with the times. sunday times has the conservatives heading for their worst electoral defeat in history. according to what they're calling a new mega poll. >> meanwhile, the mail leads with angela rayner branded a

hypocrite for targeting the prime minister's wife over tax affairs in the sunday telegraph . affairs in the sunday telegraph. >> a warning today about how labour's net zero plans could leave britain at the mercy of china . china. >> and the observer leads with the uk's previously undisclosed legal advice to israel. >> the sunday mirror has a friendship between the princess of wales and giovanna fletcher, who's a winner of i'm celebrity. >> you didn't sound that confident in that bit. >> i've never heard of her. who who who? >> no, i'm sure, i'm sure. it's fine. joining us now to go through the papers is writer and columnist and journalist emma wolf , and columnist and journalist emma wolf, and editor of spiked, tom slater. thank you very much. happy easter to you both. looking remarkably refreshed considering hour considering we've stolen an hour off you. >> yes, yes. »- >> yes, yes. >> yeah, well, the universe is stolen. an hour hasn't gone. it's very bad. we put it back . it's very bad. we put it back. >> emma, can we have a look at the sunday times and this mega poll, which is, frankly. yeah. shocking

>> well, i was going to say it's shocking, but it's sort of not. we know this, but it's devastating, isn't it? it's devastating, isn't it? it's devastating the devastating for the conservatives. literally puts conservatives. it literally puts the seal all hopes. you don't the seal on all hopes. you don't come from a majority. come back from a majority. labour are not going to lose the next election on this footing. this is a poll of 15,000 people. this is a poll of 15,000 people. this gives the tories 98 seats. it gives labour a 468 seats and a majority of 286. i mean, that's it's got most cabinet ministers. it's got possibly the prime minister and the chancellor are losing their seats. it really is devastating the tories. >> we're not heading for a hung parliament then on this forecast. >> the tories would become an england only party. they would be wiped out in scotland and wales. they would lose every single one of the red wall seats that were gained in 2019. under under labour, sorry under boris johnson. and it would be the biggest ever defeat for the conservatives, bar none bigger than their 1906 general election defeat. so it really isn't good.

and let me just be really boring for a minute. it's the method of polling that's interesting. this is mrp multi—level regression and post—stratification, which is pretty accurate. it was pretty accurate in 2017. it was pretty accurate in 2017. it was pretty accurate in 2019. i'm sure tom is an expert on this, but it's an accurate way of doing polling. so i think this means bit more than just means a bit more than just another means a bit more than just anoyeah , but are you an expert >> yeah, but are you an expert in this? i'm not an expert in polling, but ncmps are because they look at it almost seat by seat. they, rather than just taking crude national taking those crude national numbers. it to numbers. oh i see apply it to each of those. >> of implying that >> it was kind of implying that tom boring would know tom is boring so he would know what was talking about. tom is boring so he would know thhe was talking about. tom is boring so he would know thhe boring|s talking about. tom is boring so he would know thhe boring gaps. ing about. tom is boring so he would know thhe boring gaps. no,about. tom is boring so he would know thhe boring gaps. no,abothe >> the boring gaps. no, but he is staggering , isn't it, when is so staggering, isn't it, when you consider how quickly this decline set in. i mean, we decline has set in. i mean, we can all why. i mean, some of can all see why. i mean, some of it's quite reasons. you it's quite prosaic reasons. you know, incumbent is know, no incumbent government is going double digit going to survive double digit inflation. had all of inflation. and you've had all of these shocks. you've inflation. and you've had all of thesa shocks. you've inflation. and you've had all of thesa pandemic. ocks. you've inflation. and you've had all of thesa pandemic. and. you've inflation. and you've had all of thesa pandemic. and obviously had a pandemic. and obviously their handling was their handling of that was atrocious respects. but atrocious in many respects. but nevertheless, the fact that they've from talk of ten they've gone from talk of ten more years in power, brand new more years in power, a brand new tory coalition of working class

northern midlands as northern and midlands voters, as well their traditional well as their their traditional shies being completely routed well as their their traditional shreally being completely routed well as their their traditional shreally staggering)letely routed well as their their traditional shreally staggering .etely routed well as their their traditional shreally staggering . the! routed well as their their traditional shreally staggering . the one ted is really staggering. the one thing that i'm convinced of, though, is that even if keir starmer wins by quite a considerable measure, it's going to be oddly soft. at the same time, look at the surveys time, you look at the surveys and focus groups, people and the focus groups, people don't really. it's not even that they're not necessarily energised by keir starmer. they still don't really know who he is . think that still don't really know who he is. think that will be is. so i think that will be interesting to how that interesting as to how long that honeymoon period is because of the they're the fact that they're they're voting change, but they're voting for change, but they're not for not necessarily voting for labour starmer, if that not necessarily voting for labour sense. starmer, if that makes sense. >> yeah. >> yes. yeah. >> yes. yeah. >> or they're staying at home, tom, i think tom, because i think i think there's to be, you know, there's going to be, you know, in of turnout, it's going in terms of turnout, it's going to crucial. i know to be absolutely crucial. i know so conservatives, so many conservatives, ideological so many conservatives, ide

you know, they'll need to woo over the tory voters or the who've led to them their votes, if you like. >> well, i think both parties have drifted towards the centre. that's what they do isn't it. well yeah. well although the conservatives being pulled conservatives also being pulled to right. so. and at to the right. so. and look at where have come in such where reform have come in such a short time mean up short time i mean really up to what, the so what, 1,012% in the polls. so no, i don't feel wildly different. i don't think they're offering anything wildly different between sunak and starmer. and both feel starmer. and they both feel very, bland and very, very very, very bland and very, very blank. neither is blank. neither of them is exciting inspiring . that's exciting or inspiring. that's the public. >> that's what's so depressing about like we've about it. it feels like we've gone to of factory gone back to the kind of factory reset politics, reset mode of british politics, where have competing where you do just have competing flavours blancmange, and that flavours of blancmange, and that was the one very good thing about brexit. i think, amongst many it, was about brexit. i think, amongst marfact it, was about brexit. i think, amongst marfact that it, was about brexit. i think, amongst marfact that it it, was about brexit. i think, amongst marfact that it forced it, was about brexit. i think, amongst marfact that it forced politics as the fact that it forced politics to respond to what to kind of respond to what people wanted, but it also became vitriolic . but became quite vitriolic. but sometimes i think it became vitriolic because the attempt to stop it more than anything else, really, but at the same really, but i but at the same time, you do need politics to

reflect where are at. if reflect where people are at. if you've parties which are you've got two parties which are basically dancing on the basically kind of dancing on the head think head of a pin, i don't think that's democracy that's good for democracy ehhen that's good for democracy either. we should we move on >> should we should we move on to telegraph? this is to the telegraph? tom, this is rishi's message . where rishi's easter message. where where keir starmer where you've got keir starmer looking change rebirth, looking forward. change rebirth, regrowth, etc, etc. and rishi is reflecting in his easter message. >> it's not hard to read the kind of political tones to this. as you say, you've got labour saying maybe it's time for a renewal, it's time for change and you've got rishi sunak saying pause and saying it's time to pause and reflect, i kind reflect, which i think kind of translates as please, please give a give us give us a moment, give us another look . you don't even another look. you don't even have to vote for just give have to vote for us. just give us. give us another look. us. just give us another look. yes. this obviously, you yes. so this is obviously, you know, the kind of know, there's all the kind of warm words and rhetoric one would the would expect talking about the importance a time importance of faith at a time like this talk rishi sunak like this. talk rishi sunak specifically talking about the contributions christian up contributions of christian up and the country, as well as and down the country, as well as the, brutal treatment of them in certain parts around the world, which still carries on to this day. as you can't day. but as you say, you can't help but read the politics into day. but as you say, you can't help and read the politics into day. but as you say, you can't help and itad the politics into day. but as you say, you can't help and it does; politics into day. but as you say, you can't help and it does seem ics into day. but as you say, you can't help and it does seem to into this, and it does seem to reflect we been

reflect what we have been talking about, which labour talking about, which is labour riding tories riding high in the tories desperately asking for the pubuc desperately asking for the public them a second chance. >> is there any we should make of it? >> the fact keir starmer of it? >> the a ct keir starmer of it? >> the a video keir starmer of it? >> the a video messagermer of it? >> the a video message where, put out a video message where, as just basically as rishi just put out basically as rishi just put out basically a yeah difficult a tweet? yeah it's difficult isn't because at times like isn't it, because at times like this, anything which is read into on so many different levels, what are they trying to say. >> are they putting more effort or what have you? but i dare say that the nation is not on tenterhooks waiting to hear what either these two have say either of these two have to say over bank weekend. over the bank holiday weekend. >> we're not. >> no, no we're not. >> i think people are more interested what's interested in their what's in their easter egg. >> sadly , it's an easter >> well, sadly, it's an easter message from two politicians in the year of a general election is never going to just be don't really look to the spiritual leadership . leadership. >> no. or leadership at all, emma , when labour win, which, is emma, when labour win, which, is what the sunday times is saying. the sunday telegraph saying that labour's net zero plans will leave us at the mercy of china. well yeah, it's claire coutinho

saying this. >> who, by the way, is a close pal or close ally of rishi sunak. it's convenient, isn't it, that she suddenly is criticising labour's net zero plans. their plan is to plans. so their plan is to basically make us green or to get us to, to convert britain to clean power by 2030, which is only five years ahead of the tories alleged plans for 2035. but anyway, she's going full on attacks. she's saying that labour's dangerous net zero plans leave us overly reliant on beijing , on plans leave us overly reliant on beijing, on their batteries, on their cables, on their wires , on their cables, on their wires, on their cables, on their wires, on their electricity. sorry, chinese made metals, all of that kind of stuff. she's saying that, you know, at a time when we've just moving away, we're trying to move away from she's the energy security secretary. we're move from we're trying to move away from our overreliance oil our overreliance on russian oil and gas. and we are. and labour's plans, according to claire coutinho, are going to make us overreliant dangerously reliant on on china and are going to threaten our ability to keep the lights on. i mean, she goes for it, but how how is

there a labour's plan apart from that, they're slightly faster. >> how are they any different that five year difference between the plan. because it's not going to be a different suddenly producing batteries and cabling them have cabling and neither of them have made any proper long tum plans. >> we've seen starmer, you know, u—turning. anyway, we haven't got long firm plans in place. you build nuclear power you can't build nuclear power stations in in a you just stations in in a year. you just can't minimum five years. they keep turning around . keep they keep turning around. but but they are saying that, you they're they're you know they're they're worried about plan is about this. the plan is unfeasible that we be. unfeasible and that we will be. yeah that we'll be in the hands of china, which, you know, china is threat the moment. is a big threat at the moment. >> so you can kind of have a point where she's coming from. >> but you can see also how she's to shift the she's trying to shift the narrative, to narrative, take the attack to labour that i don't labour on something that i don't know. the up know. most people in the pubs up and the aren't and down the country aren't really, you getting that really, you know, getting that worked right now. but worked up about right now. but a lot people talking about lot of people are talking about football. tom, what's happening here. front page here. this is the front page of the on sunday isn't it. the sun on sunday isn't it. >> yes. there's been a sort of warning issued england warning issued to england fans as euro 2024

as they head over to euro 2024 about of terrorism about the threat of terrorism and concerns particularly and about concerns particularly recently, isis recently, given that isis k attack in moscow, where 50 people lost their lives, absolutely brutal, but also in recent years there have been increasing kind of attacks in and around football stadiums. remember the sweden belgium qualifier ? qualifier? >> yes. >> yes. >> not that long ago, where a few sweden fans lost their lives, there was also was kind of forgotten now. during of forgotten now. but during the paris attacks 2015, one of paris attacks in 2015, one of the attacks, of the bombings the attacks, one of the bombings was stade france, was at the stade de france, where france playing germany where france was playing germany at whilst up until at the time. so whilst up until this seen as this point we haven't seen as many attacks targeting many kind of attacks targeting football, always many kind of attacks targeting footbato always many kind of attacks targeting footbato be always many kind of attacks targeting footbato be big always many kind of attacks targeting footbato be big concern rays going to be a big concern given the people who are the numbers of people who are turning there's also a lot turning out, there's also a lot of discussion the in of discussion around the way in which could a target, which this could be a target, not for islamist not just for islamist terrorists, also concerns terrorists, but also concerns about of forms of about other kind of forms of extremism. use of drones one extremism. use of drones is one thing that's here. so and thing that's noted here. so and just about all just talking about all the measures being used to measures which are being used to kind a ring of steel kind of throw a ring of steel around part in around the taking part in germany, isn't it is. germany, isn't it. yes it is. yeah. various different yeah. and various different teams but the fans teams, but also the fans themselves making that themselves making sure that extra and

extra level of checks and security, instituting kind security, even instituting kind of where you of border checks and where you wouldn't in wouldn't normally see in landlocked european germany, just to and assuage this just to try and assuage this concern, is germany on a higher terror alert than we are at the moment that i'm not but moment that i'm not sure, but i imagine it be kind of imagine it will be kind of similar far as haven't similar as far as they haven't been themselves been targeted themselves recently. that recently. but there was that concern, in the concern, particularly in the wake october and there wake of october 7th, and there were islamist were a few foiled islamist terrorist plots, hamas linked terrorist plots, hamas linked terrorist one which in terrorist plots, one of which in germany so think germany itself. so i think naturally, going to naturally, concerns are going to be high be riding very high as a consequence that. consequence of that. >> i mean, that would if i >> yeah, i mean, that would if i was to that it would worry was going to that it would worry me it's to be me. it would it's got to be borne mind. but do you let it borne in mind. but do you let it scare you off? >> i mean, think die hard fans >> i mean, i think die hard fans will making their way out will be making their way out there. and we know that there's been some trouble with, you know, fans who are planning to go here. it's big go from here. but it's a big sporting there are go from here. but it's a big sporti|to there are go from here. but it's a big sporti|to be there are go from here. but it's a big sporti|to be lots there are go from here. but it's a big sporti|to be lots of there are go from here. but it's a big sporti|to be lots of these, �*e are go from here. but it's a big sporti|to be lots of these, you; going to be lots of these, you know, terror threat know, raised terror threat alerts as you alerts when you've got, as you say, got huge say, when you've got huge amounts people gathered in amounts of people gathered in one and they're big one place. and they're big targets, they, events. >> well, yeah, still go, >> well, yeah, i would still go, i still go. i would still go. >> terror works by terrorising you. don't give him. yeah.

quite well. >> i mean, it's not political in and of itself, but, you know, it's very thinly veiled. the easter story, he says , is one of easter story, he says, is one of hope and renewal, overcoming adversity and light prevailing over darkness as families and friends gather to celebrate the holiday, we turn our thoughts towards new beginnings, our future, and how things can change for the better. >> no, no political message there whatsoever , and of course, there whatsoever, and of course, today all eyes will be on windsor as the king is set to join the royal family for their annual easter service at saint george's chapel. >> well, let's talk to royal biographer photographer ian biographer and photographer ian lloyd. to see you this lloyd. good to see you this morning. it's going to be morning. ian, it's going to be happy easter. yeah. happy easter. going to be easter. it's going to be interesting, it's difficult . we interesting, it's difficult. we all want to see the king we want, but we want to see him looking well, don't we? so it is going to be fascinating to get that glimpse of him today. >> well, absolutely . but the >> well, absolutely. but the fact that they issued a statement saying that he's going

is a positive step because, when the was frail and the the queen was frail and the queen mother was frail, it was usually wait and see on the day approached, you know what i mean? to sort of, just see how they would cope. the fact that a few days ago, they announced he was going is be seen as was going is to be seen as a positive sign, i think. >> and you've followed the royal family for a long time, so you must know them fairly well. >> how do you think charles will be feeling, king charles? sorry, king will feeling if king charles will be feeling if he people down. we all he had let people down. we all understand cancer treatment is not thing to go through. not a good thing to go through. it's exhausting, it's very it's very exhausting, basically. will be basically. but he will be determined to be there today, won't he. >> yeah. something he's >> yeah. that's something he's inherited his mother. inherited from his mother. i think he knows that. should he not up then that would be, not turn up then that would be, a sign. that , he a worrying sign. so that, he will definitely try his best to be there . i mean, whether he'll be there. i mean, whether he'll drive down, i don't know, because they walk normally from what's called the upper ward, the down to the lower the top bit down to the lower ward, where the chapel is. and you see on your footage you can see on your footage they're something

they're going through something called which called the galilee porch, which actually link to actually is a direct link to where they sit. sit, which is in the choir. so he's not sitting with the congregation so that, that means that he's not likely to be in a situation where he could possibly meet people and get a virus or anything like that, you know, so he will be separated . and then afterwards, separated. and then afterwards, they normally go to a reception, but whether he'll bother with that with the dean afterwards is, doubtful , that with the dean afterwards is, doubtful, i that with the dean afterwards is, doubtful , i would that with the dean afterwards is, doubtful, i would think. is, is doubtful, i would think. but they normally a but they normally have a reception back for reception and they go back for their, kind of lamb lunch their, their kind of lamb lunch like rest of you know , like the rest of us, you know, well they might be heading straight bed rest up. straight back to bed to rest up. i mean , it's it's good i mean, it's yeah, it's good that getting out and about that he is getting out and about that he is getting out and about that we will see him. but we've i mean, in one sense he he must be benefiting from the fact he knows this is there is a huge outpouring of support for him. >> yeah. absolutely and i mean people have been writing and getting letters back and so on. and it does, you know, it means a lot doesn't it, when you're not very well and people are

thinking about you. but he obviously must be worried about catherine as well, and it's, it's come at a bad time. the other thing is that as head of state, he he he needs to be at certain things. so they'll be concerned about that. i mean, there's upcoming commonwealth visits to, austria to certainly later in the year. and, it's the d—day commemorations in june, isn't it, what's that? 80 years since, 1944. so he'll want to try and be well for that. but the great thing is that , we saw the great thing is that, we saw with the queen, late queen, is that you can do a lot of things remote, can't you? and he did last week. he couldn't get to the maundy service, did a, the maundy service, so he did a, a sort of broadcast. so you can do a lot of that kind of thing today, which, which they couldn't years ago. so. so that's thing . that's a good thing. >> and do you think that he will be determined to be there be more determined to be there because of catherine's situation 7 because of catherine's situation ? you know, it's very important for us to see him there and sort of like, you know, while

catherine is indeed having treatment herself . treatment herself. >> yeah. i mean, there's a problem, isn't there? with royal family, quite depleted . family, they're quite depleted. i there's they're just, i mean, there's they're just, you can't call it natural wastage, but people getting older, like the cousins. and so on and not working in the way that they could , many years that that they could, many years ago. so, there's only four of them under 70. that's catherine william and edward and his wife sophie. so, the rest are are elderly. so he's got to be, i think seen, like you say, to, to, be looking as well as he can. and also not just catherine. it's his wife, you know, the queen who, we saw last week in shrewsbury and in, in worcester for the maundy. i mean , she's, she wasn't born royal, and she didn't sort of carry out engagements till she was in her 50s.so engagements till she was in her 50s. so it's, you know, a bit of a strain on her as well. so i suppose he'd be concerned. probably. you know, the whole family, but but yeah, you know, he's he's the head of state, so he's he's the head of state, so he wants to be seen to be, you know, doing really well . yeah.

know, doing really well. yeah. >> fingers crossed him >> well, fingers crossed for him today. having a nice today. hope he's having a nice lie in before he has to get ready for the day ahead. ian, good to see you as always. thanks very much indeed. >> and staying with easter >> and staying with the easter message in today's ever increasing secular society, churches are finding it harder than ever to have their messages heard, and congregations are shrinking. >> so it begs the question what role should churches play in a modern society? our northern ireland reporter, dougie beattie, has been to an outreach ministry in belfast that deals with addiction and homelessness. >> we go out and reach people in society who are broken , many of society who are broken, many of them living on the streets and when they live on the streets, 99% of them then get addicted to drugs in some way. we bring them in and we offer them hope, the hopeis in and we offer them hope, the hope is found in jesus christ teen challenge can't change anyone, but jesus christ can. and we make that plain to the

folk, that there is a way out of addiction and there is a way out of the darkness, and there is a way out of the pain and that there is hope. our motto is putting hope within the reach of every addict, and the hope which is the name of this building. the hope is jesus. >> pastor brian madden leads teen challenge in belfast and points to the need for a sense of belonging and belief. >> everyone who comes in here belongs . they don't necessarily belongs. they don't necessarily go to church, but the love coming here, the love coming to a christian organisation . often a christian organisation. often they they never, ever, ever refuse a prayer. i just prayed with a young man there five minutes ago. i think it's the first time anyone has prayed for him in his life. >> when churches such as this one were first built, they were so much more than a place to worship. they projected power and social standing. they were a communication hub for the

community. but do they still have the same relevance today? >> buildings are for the very nature. they're buildings that at one time could have fulfilled at one time could have fulfilled a very important function, and maybe they don't. now so if you think back to the earlier centuries, walking into a church building could have been a warm, uncomfortable space, a place where there was a sense of community, where they didn't have other grand buildings. imagine walking into a cedral and the high ceilings, the stained glass windows, the grandeur it just spoke of grandeur of it all just spoke of the majesty god. the majesty of god. >> churches are funding the >> many churches are funding the hope project, and evangelist keith mitchell says churches may change, but their message must remain. >> so a core principle shouldn't change and our message should always be one in terms of what is the culture saying around us and how do we engage in that culture in a way that we are? we are living out love and grace, but also we're embracing truth. we're not compromising on truth . we're not compromising on truth. and i think the church has a

radical message of to hope still bnng radical message of to hope still bring to the world today. and we do that in lots of different ways. so you might be looking at an now and say, you an old building now and say, you know, is this relevant? but know, how is this relevant? but it's from the cafe the side. know, how is this relevant? but it's 1when he cafe the side. know, how is this relevant? but it's 1when he cafe come side. know, how is this relevant? but it's 1when he cafe come si here on and when people come in here on a to worship, a thursday night to worship, they see something contemporary. they new, see they see something new, they see something fresh. and in the world people need hope. world today, people need hope. and the church champions hope more than any other religious organisation in the world. dougie beattie gb news, belfast . dougie beattie gb news, belfast. >> well, in his easter message, the prime minister has welcomed the prime minister has welcomed the opportunity to have a chance to pause and reflect as he, of course, is gearing up for that general election at some point. >> quite a bit of reflection needed then, but a new mega poll in the times newspaper has revealed the conservatives are on track for the worst election results ever. >> yes, and i mean this is just shocking. no matter who you support, this is pretty shocking ehhen support, this is pretty shocking either. which way the poll found tore the tories could win fewer

than 100 seats, labour getting a majority . of 286. i mean, it's majority. of 286. i mean, it's absolutely unheard of. >> that's literally. well, talking us through this one is political correspondent katherine forster, who joins us this morning. catherine this is a shocking poll. >> it's absolutely horrendous. and rishi sunak talking about reflection. and i imagine all conservative mps will be reading this on the front page of the sunday times and reflecting . and sunday times and reflecting. and we know a few letters of no confidence have gone in, it's possible that after the may election , there might be election, there might be a challenge to rishi sunaks leadership , but basically there leadership, but basically there seems to be no , no way out. seems to be no, no way out. because as things stand, the conservatives are set to be, wiped out completely in scotland and wales, only having seats in

england , 98 of them, rishi england, 98 of them, rishi sunak, his lead only about 2. so within the margin of error, according to this, mrp poll of 15,000 people, which is done in a in a very systematic way, which means that they tend to be reasonably accurate. of course , reasonably accurate. of course, things can always change, but a lot of conservative big beasts, cabinet ministers set to lose their seats to including favourites for the leadership potentially after the next election, assuming they lose penny mordaunt , james cleverly penny mordaunt, james cleverly grant shapps all forecast to be gone.the grant shapps all forecast to be gone. the chancellor, jeremy hunt , gone. the chancellor, jeremy hunt, possibly might cling on by 1. possibly not. so it is beyond horrendous for the conservative party. and of course, what this is doing is bringing out critics of rishi sunak like lord frost, saying it's a desperate situation. i don't think anybody

would argue with that, and his remedy is, he says, current policies have alienated huge numbers of our voters. so plenty of people within the conservative party thinking we need to go more to the right. of course, all this very public infighting within the conservative party is not helping. people do not elect divided parties. lots of people within the conservatives think, oh, if only we did this. if only we did that. if only we did the other. but are they really going to get rid of another leader? and if there is a leadership challenge which could happen by accident and rishi sunak tried to go to the country , surely to go to the country, surely that would be even worse. so they are in a whole world of pain and frankly, there doesn't seem to be any, way out for them at the moment. now, rishi sunak, of course, will hope the economy

will continue to turn around. people will start to feel better off, but really at the moment, no, it's very difficult to see how even that could be enough . how even that could be enough. it's very difficult. and of course you can say , look at course you can say, look at previous elections in 2015, they expected a hung parliament to conservatives, got a majority . conservatives, got a majority. in 2017, theresa may went to the polls because she was riding high. she was going to smash it. and look, she lost her majority. things can change very fast. but after 14 years and the circling through so many leaders very recently , and the state of recently, and the state of pubuc recently, and the state of public services, high taxes, etc. it's exceedingly difficult to see how they could turn this around. >> i have to say i find it very though. of course i'm not a politician , ian, and they they politician, ian, and they they view the world through a very different sort of lens when it comes to this sort of thing. but i look at these figures and say, why they just get with why don't they just get on with it? because if it looks like

there's no way out of this, so why not just crack on and see what the country wants? well because the conservative party is coalition of lots of is a coalition of lots of factions, and they've all got different answers and approaches i >> -- >> and unfortunately for rishi sunak, because he , many of them sunak, because he, many of them will say, doesn't have a mandate, he wasn't elected by by the voters. he wasn't elected even by conservative party members like liz truss or that. bearin members like liz truss or that. bear in mind that was like nought point nought 1% of the population. and they feel population. and so they feel free and well, free to wade in and say, well, you're not doing this enough or you're not doing this enough or you're doing that enough. you're not doing that enough. and, in is and, and that in itself is unhelpful because very unhelpful because they're very publicly looking divided. and, you know, keir starmer, for all the divisions bubbling under the surface with, you know, about gaza, etc. for on the face of it, the labour party appears much more united at the moment than the conservatives. yeah. >> okay. gosh catherine, thank

you very much indeed. >> it's well , it's you very much indeed. >> it's well, it's i you very much indeed. >> it's well , it's i suppose >> it's well, it's i suppose it's easier to it's easier to be unhedin it's easier to it's easier to be united in opposition when you think you've got. >> of course, of course. >> yeah. of course. and when you think you're going to win. yeah. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. heck, you just don't know why they just i just don't know why they don't just call it. >> know guarantee. i know >> i know the guarantee. i know they'd if they called they'd be sort of if they called it six weeks from now, it for six weeks from now, they'd be guaranteed to it. >> well, it's going to >> well, because it's going to happenin >> well, because it's going to happen in case, isn't it? happen in any case, isn't it? but think just but do you think they just don't want it's difficult to want to? it's quite difficult to throw towel, but i sort throw in the towel, but i sort of think the longer they limp on the more desperate it looks. maybe that maybe they are hopeful. maybe. maybe they think there is something that's going to magically along to magically come along and change things . change things. >> see it. >> i can't see it. >> bunny i mean, i know >> easter bunny i mean, i know they'd be hoping, hoping and praying for 1992 all over again. >> well, obviously, yes, of course , get in. and then they course, get in. and then they didn't, but i don't know, i just i think people are fed up with it now and. well, let me know.

across the south so we can see the sunshine across many parts of scotland, western england and wales. further east it's wales. but further east it's already cloud in that already cloud moving in that will spread its way gradually a little bit further westward. so for central and eastern for many central and eastern parts of england are rather grey. afternoon come brighter grey. afternoon to come brighter elsewhere across england and wales . but the best of sunshine wales. but the best of sunshine really for scotland and northern ireland. but here we will see a scattering of showers, temperatures in the sunshine, not doing too badly again, 14 or 15 degrees into the evening we start to see this band of rain move in from the continent and that really is going to give us a fairly wet night across many parts of england. that rain then spreads across parts of wales, two in the small hours of easter monday, but all the time scotland and northern ireland are bit dry here and in are a little bit dry here and in any clear skies we will see a touch of frost . so for many touch of frost. so for many parts of england and wales on easter monday, it's going to be a pretty wet affair. some of the rain will be heavy, giving some fairly travelling fairly poor travelling conditions places .

fairly poor travelling conditions places. it fairly poor travelling conditions places . it does conditions in places. it does brighten down towards brighten up down towards devon and though, but all the and cornwall though, but all the time scotland and northern ireland the of the ireland seeing the best of the weather on easter monday. a few spots rain but also some spots of rain but also some decent sunshine and in the sunshine. highs of 14 or 15 but feeling pretty cool under the rain. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers. sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> so catherine has actually gone and put the kettle on now she's out there i love i love it when stuff like that happens . when stuff like that happens. >> oh it's brilliant. >> oh it's brilliant. >> this is what it's about. this is real, isn't it? i mean , you is real, isn't it? i mean, you know, it's easter sunday, sunday morning so she's she's morning real. so she's she's promised you. >> so much >> she's eating so much chocolate morning . chocolate this morning. >> what. she's >> i don't know what. she's probably hyper. >> it's combination of lack >> so it's a combination of lack of sleep and hyper. that's a dangerous combination. >> anyway, one >> it is anyway, it's the one day the year when you can day of the year when you can have for breakfast, have chocolate for breakfast, just too much. just not too much. >> going to be >> well, we're going to be finding if that's really

finding out if that's really true. speaking to a true. and we're speaking to a nutritionist couple nutritionist in a couple of minutes

i >> -- >> sorry . we're still waiting >> sorry. we're still waiting for our cups of tea. by the way, if anyone there was wondering. yeah. he's wondering any case to go with the chocolate. obviously, because today is one of few days of year . of the few days of the year. which is not true in my world, actually, where can actually, where you can overindulge on chocolates and sweets without feeling too guilty. >> yeah, we always feel a bit guilty, though, don't we? >> well, when you reach a certain age, at least when you're it doesn't matter. you're a kid, it doesn't matter. and of us, of course, are and many of us, of course, are waking chocolate eggs for waking up to chocolate eggs for breakfast, i, we never did that as kids. we never allowed . as kids. we never allowed. >> no we didn't. >> no we didn't. >> we had to wait. special. you weren't to eat them weren't allowed to eat them for breakfast? no. >> we may be thinking, >> anyway, we may be thinking, is okay so. well,

is it okay to do so. well, what's the right amount of chocolate to eat? and is it? well, who knows, not probably stop when you feel sick. and is it okay? nutritional advice there? not any case. someone that does know what they're talking about with how much chocolate you can eat is nutritionist rhiannon lambert, rhiannon , thank you so much for rhiannon, thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> you ever said stop >> have you ever said stop eating chocolate it makes >> have you ever said stop eati feeliocolate it makes >> have you ever said stop eati feel sick.ate it makes >> have you ever said stop eati feel sick ?:e it makes you feel sick? >> morning. it's an interesting one, isn't it? i don't think i actually personally had chocolate for breakfast chocolate eggs for breakfast ehhen chocolate eggs for breakfast either. up , but, what i either. growing up, but, what i will say is it's up to each household , isn't it? it's up to household, isn't it? it's up to the parents who decide what their do every day and their children do every day and equally, how much. instance, equally, how much. for instance, i a lot of people a decade i think a lot of people a decade or two ago would have grown up with perhaps a 1 or 2 chocolate eggs, whereas today i think there is definitely a rise in, more quantity doing so . but more quantity doing so. but let's be honest, if there's one day of the year that i think that chocolate for breakfast and who put a rule on it really and

said it, i guess you can't have it breakfast. it okay? it at breakfast. is it okay? it's going be on easter it's going to be on easter sunday. a one off most sunday. it's a one off it. most definitely, i hope doesn't happen every single day. that's the thing though, isn't it? >> because we had all the doctor kelso from the nhs saying, you know, egg at know, don't eat a whole egg at once and all this sort of ridiculous things actually, when you, when you look at it. but it's all about this being a one off day or perhaps a one off weekend . and that's the weekend. and that's the difference, isn't it? it's if you're eating the bad stuff on a regular basis that you've got a problem. >> yeah , absolutely. and we've >> yeah, absolutely. and we've got to remember that. i don't think anybody will feel fantastic after eating a whole chocolate egg anyway , i think chocolate egg anyway, i think most people have a cut off limit to when they'll start to feel a little nauseous, or they get little bit nauseous, or they get that blood sugar drop that instant blood sugar drop after had high from after they've had the high from the releasing, sugar that's the fast releasing, sugar that's entered their bloodstream. but in perhaps having in all honesty, perhaps having it for breakfast might might be a better idea for some because they then go to eat their they then go on to eat their normal lunch and dinner and end

their without rush, their day without a sugar rush, but it might continue but for some, it might continue all and i'm not all day long, and i'm not demonising that either. just try and normal , the day and get back to normal, the day after and enjoy everything in moderation . i agree, a whole egg moderation. i agree, a whole egg probably as a portion is not a great idea. maybe stagger it a little bit if you can just purely to enjoy it as well. i think you'll enjoy it more if you savour it. >> i can and i'm sorry. i think anyone that puts chocolate back in the fridge is basically a psychopath to eat it all in one go. sorry, just me , but the one go. sorry, just me, but the one thing i want to stop people doing is feeling guilty about this. we always say that's bad food. that's good food. as you said just now, everything in moderation is fine . moderation moderation is fine. moderation is all, remember, but how do you stop yourself feeling guilty? >> so psychology and food work handin >> so psychology and food work hand in hand. that's something i do all the time in my nutrition clinic is have a think about how you view the world of food and the food rules you put on yourself. actually an yourself. and actually an exercise. use for some exercise. i do use for some clients sometimes who that exercise. i do use for some clienwantnetimes who that exercise. i do use for some clienwant to times who that exercise. i do use for some clienwant to go es who that exercise. i do use for some

clienwant to go coldto that exercise. i do use for some clienwant to go cold turkey that exercise. i do use for some clienwant to go cold turkey on|t they want to go cold turkey on an item stop them doing that, an item to stop them doing that, because that does instil because i think that does instil a relationship with food. a bad relationship with food. it's for anyone to it's impossible for anyone to say i'm never, ever, ever going to eat chocolate again if they love chocolate. i just think that an unhealthy that instils an unhealthy relationship with food. you're much better almost to much better off almost trying to have for breakfast, for have it for breakfast, for instance, seeing how you feel getting your system. and i'm getting out your system. and i'm not an overnight not saying this is an overnight change. psychology is deeply not saying this is an overnight changeand/chology is deeply not saying this is an overnight changeand itiology is deeply not saying this is an overnight changeand it cangy is deeply not saying this is an overnight change and it can take deeply not saying this is an overnight change and it can take aaeply not saying this is an overnight changeand it can take a long rooted and it can take a long time if you turn to food as a coping mechanism. but you coping mechanism. but if you introduce that in the introduce that sugar in the morning it doesn't morning and realise it doesn't make but make you feel your best, but hey, and you know hey, you had a bit and you know it's of bounds, you're it's not out of bounds, you're less likely to overeat. there is research suggests if you research that suggests if you allow yourself enjoy items, allow yourself enjoy the items, you less likely to binge and you are less likely to binge and develop that unhealthy relationship with food. >> yeah, it's good. it's a good lesson. rhiannon, great to talk to you this morning. thanks very much indeed. happy easter, happy easter . much indeed. happy easter, happy easter. she's she's much indeed. happy easter, happy easter . she's she's off now to easter. she's she's off now to have an egg. >> she, she looks like in the mood. she is very gorgeous. >> she looks very fit. she looks

>> 745. let's have a look at the papers this morning with the journalist emma woolf and the editor of spiked. tom slater. good morning, good morning, good morning, something not very jolly on the front of the sunday times. emma. half a million children, on antidepressant notes. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> really worrying story. i mean, we know that mental health amongst the young has been, you know, a bit of a bit of a crisis for a while. we know that, you know, we talk a lot about teenagers and sort of young people, especially the to 24 people, especially the 18 to 24 group, who are often not working, in employment, working, not in employment, not in and in education or training and then languishing. but then sort of languishing. but now children as now it seems that children as well are actually being put on antidepressants for things like loneliness and anxiety and depression, it's not recommended for under the age of 18 for people under the age of 18 to be prescribed antidepressants. the problem is, of course, we don't have enough therapy. we don't have enough behavioural therapists, we don't have enough these very, very long waiting lists. so when you

have children presenting with problems, doctors are problems, many doctors are feeling that they have pretty much do except much nothing they can do except putting children on antidepressants, is not antidepressants, which is not advised at all, and they should be monitored, or just leaving be monitored, orjust leaving them, you know, without any support. so it's not the right opfion support. so it's not the right option . it really isn't. option. it really isn't. >> say, children, what age are we talking? >> so, last year there over >> so, last year there were over 4000 under 10s under ten antidepressants, which is extremely dangerous at that age . extremely dangerous at that age. your brain is still forming. you shouldn't be doing anything to kind of adjust your, you know, your chemistry any way. your brain chemistry in any way. there really dangerous side there are really dangerous side effects antidepressants there are really dangerous side effects of antidepressants there are really dangerous side effects of but tidepressants there are really dangerous side effects of but especially1ts for any of us, but especially for any of us, but especially for children, self—harm, suicide, all of those kinds of things. and what they really need is, you know, are you need is, you know, why are you feeling way? why are you feeling this way? why are you feeling this way? why are you feeling why are feeling feeling sad? why are you feeling lonely? lots of lonely? and there are lots of reasons. talk about the reasons. let's talk about the pandemic one minute. the pandemic for one minute. the fact children in fact is, children were not in education for couple of years. education for a couple of years. they not with their they were not with their friends. things that friends. these are things that children need be children need. they need to be in they be in education. they need to be at school. need with school. they need to be with their they need to their pals. they don't need to

be on their own. no, be at home on their own. no, they don't need to be, in my view, schooled. and they view, home schooled. and they don't be staring don't need to be staring at screens and all of screens and phones and all of that. i think the internet and the social world has the whole social media world has done huge of damage to done a huge amount of damage to our people. our young people. >> my >> i totally agree. oh my god, that's totally agree. >> feels like sort of >> it feels like a sort of perfect as well , doesn't perfect storm as well, doesn't it? on the one you it? because on the one hand, you do overprescribing, do have this overprescribing, which has an secret which has been an open secret for long time, not just for for a long time, not just for young people, but people young people, but also people coming mental coming forward with mental health lot health concerns. it's a lot easier to pull out the prescription it is to prescription pad than it is to try in the nhs for try and arrange in the nhs for some kind of actual therapy. there's also the problem, i think, which is that with the younger generation, only younger generation, not only have by the have they been hit by the pandemic and all these other issues, also think there's issues, but also i think there's a of over a tendency to kind of over medicalize well. so the a tendency to kind of over medioflize well. so the a tendency to kind of over mediof general well. so the a tendency to kind of over mediof general ups well. so the a tendency to kind of over mediof general ups and. so the a tendency to kind of over mediof general ups and downse a tendency to kind of over mediof general ups and downs of kind of general ups and downs of life, they're encouraged to think in terms of life, they're encouraged to think i've in terms of life, they're encouraged to think i've got in terms of life, they're encouraged to think i've got depression,of life, they're encouraged to think i've got depression, maybe maybe i've got depression, maybe i've got an anxiety issue. they maybe i've got depression, maybe i've gthe n anxiety issue. they maybe i've got depression, maybe i've gthe doctorety issue. they maybe i've got depression, maybe i've gthe doctor with sue. they maybe i've got depression, maybe i've gthe doctor with those 1ey go to the doctor with those kinds concerns mind so kinds of concerns in mind and so rather talking about rather than again, talking about understanding kind of understanding it as the kind of struggles that children might experience, medical experience, it becomes medical ized. people want put ized. you put people want to put a label you throw all a label on it. you throw all this together really

this together and it's really toxic. just a few days >> and we saw just a few days ago the rise adhd diagnoses, ago the rise in adhd diagnoses, you know, the putting a label on a child i mean, my three a child who is i mean, my three year old. yes. he's hyperactive. yes. deficit yes. he's attention deficit because three old. because he's a three year old. three. but putting label on three. but putting a label on adhd when were little adhd. and when we were little and saying of course and i'm not saying of course there children with serious and i'm not saying of course there serious ldren with serious and i'm not saying of course there serious issuesvith serious and i'm not saying of course there serious issues or] serious and i'm not saying of course there serious issues or serious; with serious issues or serious behavioural issues, also, behavioural issues, but also, i mean, as teenager, i spent mean, as a teenager, i spent most my teenage being most of my teenage years being up miserable and up and down and miserable and happy and it part of life. happy and it is part of life. absolutely you say. you absolutely what you say. you need resilience. and i need to build resilience. and i was also talking a gp friend was also talking to a gp friend of this morning very early of mine this morning very early this morning, who said they don't work antidepressants for the people . it's not the majority of people. it's not what need. what need is what you need. what you need is to about why you're sad, to talk about why you're sad, why you're struggling, what's happening but for happening in your life. but for the of people, the majority of people, it's not a it's not a chemical a brain. it's not a chemical imbalance . yeah. you know, so it imbalance. yeah. you know, so it isn't great to put well, it's very, very unfortunate to put children on this at such an early age. >> yeah. tom >> yeah. tom >> should we move on yet >> tom, should we move on to yet another subject making another subject that's making politicians is politicians unhappy? this is labour are complaining to labour unions are complaining to keir starmer about labour's use of flag .

of the union flag. >> yes. so another labour patriotism row. so apparently a number of mps have been grumbling about the fact that a lot of the election leaflets will have the union flag on them. would expect, the them. as one would expect, the flag exactly the flag of a country exactly the nafion flag of a country exactly the nation they are nation in which they are standing. their for standing. and their claim for this it puts ethnic this is that it puts off ethnic minority voters. find this so minority voters. i find this so bizarre. first of all, it's one of those situations where you're so you end a bit so woke, you end up being a bit racist. are you implying that these aren't british these voters aren't british by dint being from ethnic dint of being from an ethnic minority, they'll minority, and therefore they'll be it's also be upset by it? it's also just factually inaccurate. whenever you minorities and factually inaccurate. whenever you in minorities and factually inaccurate. whenever you in general minorities and factually inaccurate. whenever you in general, minorities and factually inaccurate. whenever you in general, ethnicities and brits in general, ethnic minority brits tend to be slightly mildly more patriotic and have a firmer sense of their british identity than the white british identity than the white british public, funnily enough, and kind understand and you can kind of understand why if they why oftentimes, even if they were born raised in this were born and raised in this country, parents might country, their parents might have active decision have made an active decision to join this nation. there were certain that. so certain reasons for that. so i find never ending find this never ending discussion about we can't be too patriotic because it will put off minorities. off ethnic minorities. it's just completely from completely detached from reality. you know, i'm reality. and you know, i'm not. there certain point in there is a certain point in which and his flag which keir starmer and his flag waving bit waving was getting a bit ridiculous at points. he

ridiculous at certain points. he was without one, was never pictured without one, and sometimes there is an and that sometimes there is an element just like element of it just looking like you're overcompensating. i think people can be patriotic without it symbolic flag it just being symbolic and flag waving the waving and so on. but the reasons that are being cited for why they're so uncomfortable with think, don't with this, i think, just don't hold and are quite hold any water and are quite patronising, anything. patronising, if anything. >> fed up of >> yeah, i'm quite fed up of being the being told that either the british the english flag british flag or the english flag are bad, racist and racist . are bad, racist and racist. >> i'm fed up with being apologetic. i mean, you know, or that somehow the fact that we're a christian country is wrong. we've just seen council's westminster council, among others, ramadan and others, celebrating ramadan and not celebrating easter. well, what that about? you what was all that about? you know, they didn't put up an easter egg display until they were someone alerted were until someone alerted them to had to run to this fact and they had to run around westminster trying buy around westminster trying to buy chocolate but chocolate eggs or whatever. but actually, need actually, we don't need to be apologetic about the that apologetic about the fact that a we're christian country. it we're a christian country. it doesn't that we don't we're a christian country. it doesn't people at we don't we're a christian country. it doesn't people of ne don't we're a christian country. it doesn't people of alldon't we're a christian country. it doesn't people of all faiths and welcome people of all faiths and none. know, and yes, we none. and, you know, and yes, we do have a flag. we have a national and it's the national flag, and it's the union jack. yes. >> can talk about chocolate >> can we talk about chocolate again, please? yeah. we can. thank ifs again, please? yeah. we can.

>> interesting on the clock change today , because we were change today, because we were talking to a sleep expert earlier on, and the sort of premise was that it can be very dangerous and dangerous on the roads. and how do we make it all safe and all the rest of it? robert's been in touch and says many people live their lives going short of sleep. no one wants accidents on roads, at work, in the home, but you make this one hour sound like a national disaster. i think. robert, you probably have a fair point there . point there. >> we do make a lot of fuss about it, don't we? >> it does happen twice a year. well, you know, forward and back and, we all manage, don't we. so i think robert sensible view. yeah, very much indeed, maybe lots of messages on chocolate as well because obviously it's a day for chocolate. vaiews@gbnews.com if you want to have your say as well. jack good morning jack. man, after my own heart i'm semi—joking , jack own heart i'm semi—joking, jack says, instead of chocolate, i treat myself to a bottle of gin and normally ends up with me and it normally ends up with me

upside behind the tv. well, upside down behind the tv. well, that's good advice, that's not good health advice, by way , and at least be in by the way, and at least be in front of the tv so you can carry on watching us. yeah this is true. >> michael has a very good point, though, because he's about having, you know, chocolate oh, chocolate for breakfast and oh, shock, horror, michael says nothing wrong with having chocolate breakfast. lots of chocolate for breakfast. lots of people have chocolate spread on toast. or that's point panel chocolate or whatever. and in fact, of people the fact, lots of people on the continent, have sort of like a very thick hot chocolate , for as very thick hot chocolate, for as a breakfast drink. it also says, why can you buy chocolate, eggs, bunnies and all the rest of it, but not a chocolate crucify six it's supposed to be celebrating jesus , not bunnies or eggs. jesus, not bunnies or eggs. well, you know what? >> i it's something like >> i think it's something like on sunday. i think it's on easter sunday. i think it's something 80% think something like 80% of us think of chocolate before we think of what day actually about, what the day is actually about, it's probably true. yeah, i don't really know if a chocolate crucifix would be. >> it feels a bit wrong, but you can get chocolate. everything's these days. you can get chocolate all for chocolate puppies all for easter. marks and sparks. easter. yeah. marks and sparks. are available? are the supermarkets available?

do a chocolate puppy. >> oh, very odd, but no >> oh, that's very odd, but no valid point. i don't think i'd want to eat a chocolate crucifix a bit wrong. it does look a bit satanic . well, i won't go that satanic. well, i won't go that far if you. >> if you were the upside down, it probably would be. oh, yes. i've watched too many horror films. >> i've watched too many horror films, i think, anyway, keep your thoughts coming through today. sunday, and today. it is easter sunday, and of course, many of us up and down the country will be celebrating , perhaps down the country will be celebrating, perhaps heading to church. what we church. i mean, that's what we should doing. yeah, maybe should be doing. yeah, maybe a family perhaps just family lunch or perhaps just enjoying chocolate and our enjoying that chocolate and our politicians have also released their easter messages with prime minister sunak for minister rishi sunak saying for many in the uk, easter is many of us in the uk, easter is a chance to pause and reflect and an opportunity to spend some precious time with our families and moment to enjoy the start and a moment to enjoy the start of spring. >> so this weekend, let me wish you all very happy you all a very happy and peaceful easter. >> keir starmer has >> well, sir keir starmer has said the easter story is one of hope and renewal of overcoming adversity and light prevailing over darkness as families and

friends gather to celebrate the houday friends gather to celebrate the holiday , we turn our thoughts holiday, we turn our thoughts towards new beginnings, our future and how things can change for the better . for the better. >> that's very subtle. i'm not getting any hidden messages in that at all. >> please vote for me. yeah, >> please vote for me. yeah, >> and of course, today all eyes will be on windsor as king charles is set to join the royal family for their annual easter service at saint george's chapel. >> well, let's talk to the formidable royal correspondent, michael cole . happy easter michael cole. happy easter michael. i mean, this is going to be quite something actually, after everything that we know has been going on to see the king and about today, even king out and about today, even if only briefly, will be something to celebrate. >> happy easter, steve, and happy easter dawn. the king, you know, is a man of great faith, and he was determined to be at morning service today at windsor, despite undergoing chemotherapy for his cancer. and he will be there, as protocol

dictates . it's, he will arrive dictates. it's, he will arrive last. and i suspect that he and queen camilla will arrive by car at the side door of the chapel, which is called the gilbertus doon which is called the gilbertus door, after other members of the family . of course, royal ranks family. of course, royal ranks have been thinned in recent days by recent events. here we see a procession at an earlier date. the people in the front there, of course, will not be there for the prince and princess of wales and their children are anmer hall, on the sandringham estate . hall, on the sandringham estate. i doubt that they will be seen. i doubt that they will be seen. i doubt that they will go to saint mary's magdalen, church at sandringham for the morning service, but other people will be there, to the dismay of some, of course , the duke of york, of course, the duke of york, prince andrew will probably be front and centre because in the absence of the waleses and the sussexes and their children also in california, he is the ranking royal. he's eighth in line to

the throne and his natural position would be at the front of the parade. that won't please everybody, of course. and i'm quite sure that his ex—wife , quite sure that his ex—wife, sarah, duchess of york, will be there. and of course, we mustn't forget that she is the third member. although a semi—detached member. although a semi—detached member of the royal family, to be to be undergoing cancer treatment. she had breast cancer last year and it was recently revealed she had skin cancer. so good luck to everybody in the royal cancer ward. we want to see them all fit and healthy, not just this easter, but throughout the many easters to come. it'll be a great day. of course, it's the most significant day in the christian calendar. it is, as you were saying earlier , rebirth, saying earlier, rebirth, renaissance, resurrection , and a renaissance, resurrection, and a day for celebration. and the king takes great faith and great comfort in his christianity, as did his mother. and so, it will be an important day. and i think

there will be a good crowd of, of well—wishers. perhaps you're going to rush down there as soon as the program is over to give them a cheer as they go in or as they go out. >> yeah, that's a nice thought. >> yeah, that's a nice thought. >> yeah, that's a nice thought. >> yeah it is. >> yeah it is. >> michael, do you think it is a mistake for king charles to offer the olive branch to andrew in that has? in the way that he has? >> well, he, course, plays no >> well, he, of course, plays no royal role because of his disastrous and ill judged friendship with the serial paedophile jeffrey epstein. unlamented by anybody who died in a prison cell in new york, because of that, he has no royal role and has no prospect of a royal role. but he is a member of the royal family. he is the queen's second late queen's second son. he is his brother. thatis second son. he is his brother. that is a fact that we cannot get over here, and maybe there is redemption for everybody . and is redemption for everybody. and perhaps that starts in saint george's chapel , why is it perhaps that starts in saint george's chapel, why is it i mean, i know there's the whole

gender issues when it comes to the royal family, which of course have changed with recent births. but but why now? doesn't princess anne take a leading role in these sort of ceremonial things? >> yes, of course, though things have been changed now. but it was male precedence when she was born and she went after her brothers. that has all changed. and it was one of the last great things the queen did. and had it agreed through the commonwealth that regardless of gender, the succession will go boy, girl, boy, girl or whatever it happens to be, but of course , princess to be, but of course, princess anne. and i'm glad you mentioned her. the princess royal there she is, in sunnier climes, she will be there today, probably with her. her husband , vice with her. her husband, vice admiral sir timothy laurence and her daughter zara and her husband, mike tindall. the rugby international and also, we mustn't forget because they're

taking a more prominent role because of circumstances, the duke and duchess of edinburgh, edward and sophie and their two children, lady louise mountbatten—windsor and their son, the earl of essex. so everybody's lending their their shoulder to the wheel , if you shoulder to the wheel, if you will. they're coming out. they're doing more, the king, i think, also wants to demonstrate. and he will be very pleased to see people there today that he is out and about, that he's doing his job, that he's fulfilling his function as a head of state, and, of course, commander of the, the armed forces. and of course, it is a very, very good thing that he is a sincere christian because he is defender of the faith and he is defender of the faith and he is the supreme governor of the church of england the church of england and the anglican expression of christianity is something that, he and as i say, the late queen took great comfort in. >> okay, michael, really good to see you. >> thank you. mike, thanks very much indeed .

much indeed. >> still not sure about the andrew thing, i must admit. >> no, i have to say i'm glad the two, the two people. well, three people, princess anne has always been impressive. yeah, but even more so over the past . but even more so over the past. >> very much so. >> very much so. >> i mean, i've got such respect for her. yeah. the duke and duchess of edinburgh. >> sophie fully on team sophie. >> sophie fully on team sophie. >> well, yes, but it's interesting because they sort of were in the spotlight for a long time , and, i don't know, time, and, i don't know, i didn't have any disregard for them, but i didn't necessarily have any regard for. no. and it's recently in the, in the wake of, of the passing of, of the late queen and all the rest of it, they, they are just working so hard. >> yes. >> yes. >> and just seem to be such good examples of, of what we want the royals to be that they've, they've really shot up, in my estimation . yeah. not that they estimation. yeah. not that they care i think, but, you care what i think, but, you know, i've really sort think know, i've really sort of think highly whereas highly of them now, whereas i suppose really didn't think of suppose i really didn't think of them. >> no. >> no. >> but they've stepped up to the

plate. working very, plate. they're working very, very when you read very hard. and when you read about relationship that about the relationship that sophie in particular had with the queen, and the and the the late queen, and the and the duke of edinburgh. absolutely . duke of edinburgh. absolutely. okay. but staying with easter and the easter message in today's ever increasing secular society, churches are finding it harder than ever to have their messages heard congregations messages heard and congregations are role should churches >> so what role should churches be playing in our modern society? well, our northern ireland reporter, dougie beattie has been to an outreach ministry in belfast. >> we go out and reach people in society who are broken , many of society who are broken, many of them living on the streets and when they live on the streets, 99% of them then get addicted to drugs in some way. we bring them in and we offer them hope, the hopeis in and we offer them hope, the hope is found in jesus christ. teen challenge can't change anyone, but jesus christ can. and we make that plain to the

folk , that there is a way out of folk, that there is a way out of addiction and there is a way out of the darkness, and there is a way out of the pain, and that there is hope. our motto is putting hope within the reach of every addict. and the hope, which is the name of this building. the hope is jesus. >> pastor brian martin leads teen challenge in belfast and points to the need for a sense of belonging and belief. >> everyone who comes in here belongs . they don't necessarily belongs. they don't necessarily go to church, but they'll love coming here. they love coming to a christian organisation. often they they never, ever, ever refuse us prayer. i just prayed with a young man there five minutes ago. i think it's the first time anyone has prayed for him in his life. >> when churches such as this one were first built, they were so much more than a place to worship. they projected power and social standing. they were a communication hub for the

community. but do they still have the same relevance today? >> buildings are for the very nature. they're buildings that at one time could have fulfilled at one time could have fulfilled a very important function , and a very important function, and maybe they don't now. so if you think back to the earlier centuries, walking into a church building could have been a warm , building could have been a warm, uncomfortable space, a place where there was a sense of community where they didn't have other grand buildings. imagine walking into a cathedral and the high ceilings, the stained glass windows, the grandeur of it all just spoke of the majesty of god i >> -- >> many churches are funding the hope project and evangelist keith mitchell says churches may change, but their message must remain so. >> a core principle shouldn't change and our message should always be one in terms of what is the culture saying around us and do we engage in that and how do we engage in that culture a that we are? we culture in a way that we are? we are living out love and grace, but also we're embracing truth. we're not compromising truth we're not compromising on truth and i think the church has a radical message of to still

radical message of hope to still bnng radical message of hope to still bring to the world today. and we do that in lots of different ways. you might be looking at ways. so you might be looking at an old building now and say, you know, how is this relevant? but it's from the cafe at the side. and when people come in here on a thursday night, the worship, they contemporary. a thursday night, the worship, they see contemporary. a thursday night, the worship, they see somethingcontemporary. a thursday night, the worship, they see something new,mporary. a thursday night, the worship, they see something new,mpor see they see something new, they see something fresh. and the something fresh. and in the world today, need hope world today, people need hope and champions hope world today, people need hope and than champions hope world today, people need hope and than any champions hope world today, people need hope and than any otherpions hope world today, people need hope and than any other religious)e more than any other religious organisation in the world. >> dougie beattie gb news, belfast . belfast. >> well, as we already told you in the in his easter message, the prime minister welcomed the opportunity to have a chance to pause and reflect as he, of course, gears up for a general election. >> but a new mega poll in the times newspaper has revealed the conservatives are for conservatives are on track for their results eve r. >> even >> yeah, it found the tories could win fewer than 100 seats. laboun could win fewer than 100 seats. labour, having a majority a majority of 286. it's unheard of

i >> -- >> that's literally everybody in there being labour. let's talk to our political correspondent katherine forster now who's brought teas in and is now brought the teas in and is now going explain what this going to explain what this poll means is it's the most catastrophic news basically for the conservative party. >> rishi sunak talking about reflection. he'll be trying to take a day or so with his family. but my goodness , this is family. but my goodness, this is terrible news for them. just bearin terrible news for them. just bear in mind that in 1997, when tony blair got that labour landslide, the majority was 179. if and it is a big if, things can always change. if this poll turned out to be true, keir starmer would have a majority of 286.and starmer would have a majority of 286. and as sir geoffrey cox , 286. and as sir geoffrey cox, pardon me, said to our political editor chris hope a week or so ago on his podcast, it's not necessarily great thing for any democracy for a party to have such a huge majority, because

parties often will make bad decisions. and if you have a massive majority, you can get pretty much anything through . pretty much anything through. but if this comes to pass, there will be no conservative mps in scotland or in wales . and scotland or in wales. and looking at the map of this poll, even england, where you've normally got large swathes of blue in rural areas and down south, it's pretty much red in most places. rishi sunak may or may not cling on in his north yorkshire seat. the chancellor to both within the margin of error. but lots of very big beasts who might like rishi sunaks job after the conservatives lose, assuming that they do. people like penny mordaunt, leader of the house of commons, people like james cleverly, the home secretary, people like , grant shapps, the people like, grant shapps, the defence secretary all set on these projections to lose their

seats, the one tory leadership hopeful who looks pretty short at hang on is kemi badenoch, the business secretary but interestingly, this poll polls have also suggested that if she was put in charge now , now, that was put in charge now, now, that would increase the labour lead in the polls by 4. so there seem to be no good options for the tories at the moment. people like lord frost, big rishi sunak critic saying desperate situation, current policies have alienated huge numbers of our voters . but what do they do? voters. but what do they do? because if they really take out another prime minister that will add to the feeling of chaos , add to the feeling of chaos, this. is that really a good idea? >> yeah , it absolutely would. >> yeah, it absolutely would. i mean, the problem is with this and i think it's partly it's a bigger problem because we, the pubuc bigger problem because we, the public are much more savvy than we used to be, and the fact now

that you have and will have, i mean, in a way, what else can they say? but you get tory mps on, you get ministers on who who then will say, of course we're fighting. of course we can win this election when everything, everything says you don't stand a . chance of getting back a chance. chance of getting back into power . a chance. chance of getting back into power. this is where the distrust continues because it's like you're not being even remotely honest with us. but i suppose they're not going to say, yes, we're going to lose. but i mean, it's that catch . 22, but i mean, it's that catch. 22, isn't it? >> it is. and of course, they can't say that, can they? they can't say that, can they? they can't say that, can they? they can't say they've given up, though clearly, a lot of them, the prevailing mood seems to be that feel that are that they feel that they are doomed, we've what well doomed, and we've had what well over 60 conservative mps now say they're standing now, they're not standing again. now, of course, it always happens, but numbers are and a but the numbers are high and a lot them are people that have lot of them are people that have not been in parliament for very long. we've james long. and we've had james heappey, was, the armed heappey, who was, the armed

forces minister, and robert halfon , who was a minister, halfon, who was a minister, stepping down on the same day from those positions, not standing again in the next election. but yeah, they they can't admit it. but what do they do? >> is there any way of triggering a forcing rishi sunaks hand, even if in the wake of, say, may the 2nd and dreadful results they can put in their letters of no confidence to sir graham brady, we know that some have andrea jenkyns very publicly. >> many months ago, and some estimates that there's over 20 letters in. truthfully no letters gone in. truthfully no one knows except grey. sir graham brady. but if they trigger a no confidence vote in may. and he wins, he probably will win. but he will be weakened, which will damage them further , if he chose to walk further, if he chose to walk away. well, i can't see it happening, but if they had somebody, who would they put in place? because there is no

agreement for who best bet agreement for who their best bet would penny mordaunt agreement for who their best bet would to penny mordaunt agreement for who their best bet would to be penny mordaunt agreement for who their best bet would to be the 'enny mordaunt agreement for who their best bet would to be the person.ordaunt agreement for who their best bet would to be the person who's1t seems to be the person who's feared by labour, but it feared most by labour, but it looks she's probably set to looks like she's probably set to lose maybe kemi lose her seat. maybe kemi badenoch may still be there, but she's not necessarily that popular with floating voters, so it's absolutely a nightmare for them. and some conversations now about, if rishi sunak tries to go for a summer election, people in whitehall, ancient procedures and whatever being invoked to stop him, i mean, there could be. i'm not saying there will be, but there could be even more chaos to come. and dominic cummings remember him. oh yes. >> he's been. >> he's been. >> yeah. not fan of the >> yeah. not a fan of the conservative party at all, but he's been saying, that westminster has hugely underpriced potential for underpriced the potential for chaos basically in the next few months. so just when they think it couldn't get any worse, very possibly could. oh, sorry to be such a ray of sunshine. no no,

catherine, thanks very much. >> happy easter, rishi. oh, honestly, i wouldn't want to be waking up and seeing the papers every day. >> politicians are a special breed because the people who want politicians stuff, want to be politicians stuff, they go through. want to be politicians stuff, thei go through. want to be politicians stuff, thei reallyough. want to be politicians stuff, thei really wouldn't want to be politicians stuff, the i really wouldn't want to be >> i really wouldn't want to be doing job now, would you? doing that job now, would you? certainly is certainly wouldn't, right. it is 821. let's a look at other 821. let's have a look at other stories coming into the newsroom this churches are this morning. and churches are being the being warned by the home secretary allow asylum secretary not to allow asylum seekers to exploit the system by converting to christianity. james there james cleverly says there is a real between real difference between welcoming of welcoming a new member of the congregation for congregation and vouching for a person an asylum tribunal . person in an asylum tribunal. >> meanwhile, the metropolitan police have arrested four people suspected of planning to disrupt the annual oxford—cambridge boat race on the river thames yesterday . the force says it was yesterday. the force says it was made aware protesters were planning disruption , but planning disruption, but officers were able to take swift action intercept the plans. action to intercept the plans. the cambridge rowing team claimed double victory and the

solar, sponsors of weather on. gb news. >> good morning and welcome to your latest gb. news, weather forecast from the met office. well, today most of us we do start the day with some sunshine, but it will turn increasingly cloudy, especially across the south so we can see the sunshine across many parts of england and of scotland, western england and wales. east it's wales. but further east it's already cloud moving in. that will spread its gradually will spread its way gradually a little bit further westward. so for many central and eastern parts of england are rather grey. afternoon to come brighter elsewhere across england and wales. but the best of sunshine really for scotland and northern ireland. but here we will see a scattering of showers, temperatures in sunshine , temperatures in the sunshine, not doing too badly again, 14 or 15 degrees into the evening we start to see this band of rain move in from the continent, and that really is going to give us a fairly wet night across many parts of england that . rain then parts of england that. rain then spreads across parts of wales, two in the small hours of easter monday, but all the time scotland and northern ireland are a little dry here and in

are a little bit dry here and in any clear skies we will see a touch of frost. so for many parts of england and wales on easter monday, going be easter monday, it's going to be a wet affair. some of the a pretty wet affair. some of the rain will be heavy, giving some fairly poor travelling conditions in places. does conditions in places. it does brighten towards devon brighten up down towards devon and though, all and cornwall though, but all the time scotland northern time scotland and northern ireland the ireland seeing the best of the weather easter monday, a few weather on easter monday, a few spots also some spots of rain, but also some decent sunshine and in the sunshine. highs of 14 or 15 but feeling pretty cool under the rain. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> right, okay. chocolate. should we talk chocolate , should we talk chocolate, overindulging in easter chocolate this morning? well, we'll be looking at that next. this is gb news with steven and

and moderate, of course, because if you want to go from a porka to a corker, so to speak, it is about how much you're putting in. i mean, the average bar of chocolate, i've got some figures for you somewhere. hang on a minute around. it's around 100mg. sorry, 100g of chocolate is over 500 calories. so it is it is a lot of calories . and the it is a lot of calories. and the advice generally is to make sure that you're eating the darker chocolate rather than milk chocolates. having said that, the research , as you can the research, as you can imagine, is all over the place on this sort of stuff in america , scientists did find that actually giving , it was it was actually giving, it was it was a study with women . and giving study with women. and giving them 100g of chocolate in a morning and at night actually helped them. it helped them to sleep better. it helped them to burn fat. make of that whatever you want. but i say to people, yes, have a bit of chocolate. enjoy it. if you have an easter

is going to sound like i need sectioning, but people to sectioning, but i get people to actually to the food as actually talk to the food as well it's food controls well because it's food controls us. there is method in my madness. so food can control us obviously. so we have to learn to control it. now if we do that by actually conversing with it mentally in our mind so that we're actually telling it. actually, i've got the control. i'm the gaffer here, not you. creme eggs chocolate eggs, whatever eggs today. you know you're the one in control and you're the one in control and you're actually telling it. i even get people to wink at it. and there is a method in my madness, like i say, because it is about food control. it's not about weight loss. it's about weight control . it's all here. weight control. it's all here. so what i say to the viewers is today, yes, tell yourself you're too gorgeous to be fat. tell yourself , as too gorgeous to be fat. tell yourself, as you're looking at it, that you have the control and also have things around you, visual around you that visual things around you that actually feed your mind and lift your spirit so that you're not emotionally eating. because often we go to the chocolate if

we're feeling a bit down. and that might be things like, you know, photos of the holiday that you're going go on soon or you're going to go on soon or the items of clothing that you're where you're you're going to be where you're going in to put going to be fitting in to put them around the house, look at them, let it motivate you. let's not it and gloom, but not make it doom and gloom, but coming it is easter coming back, it is easter sunday. so i say to people, if you want a bit of egg today, chocolate egg , you go and enjoy it. >> always sensible . >> always sensible. >> always sensible. >> good idea. >> good idea. >> really sensible. steve. thank you and happy easter to you so much and happy easter to you so much and happy easter to you and yours. have a wonderful day. i do try talking to my chocolate eggs, but they answer back. problem. it's back. that's the problem. it's like, eat me. you know like, come on, eat me. you know you want but it is getting you want me, but it is getting your head in the sand. >> it's like giving up smoking. you you can't tell you you can't. you can't tell you can't make someone give up smoking. want to can't make someone give up sm it. ng. want to do it. >> really want to. >> really want to. >> and it's the same with food. >> and it's the same with food. >> yeah, it's the same. >> yeah, it's the same. >> i just don't want it hard enough. do i know you're all right? >> all right. aidan magee. he's got in just a moment. got your sport in just a moment. >> morning. yes, indeed. good morning to you. it's all about

the league title race the premier league title race this afternoon. three the premier league title race thisinfternoon. three the premier league title race thisin action n. three the premier league title race thisin action liverpool three all in action liverpool up first at

break. >> 837. should we have a chat with aiden ? with aiden? >> morning. good morning again. morning. do you want to kick off with kick off? >> look, let's touch on mane i.t. because i think it's best to get them out of the way. they'll be pleased about that as well it was a well because it was a disappointing result them. disappointing result for them. ashley disappointing ashley i say disappointing result. it actually wasn't. they were hammered in were absolutely hammered in terms of the territory, the amount they can see. amount of shots they can see. this six side conceding this is a top six side conceding 33 shots on target. that's an average. given that the game lasted minutes, i think lasted 99 minutes, i think that's average of about once that's an average of about once every or every three minutes or something. got something. it is. so they got away it, conceding away with it, conceding one goal away with it, conceding one goal. brentford goal. the brentford manager, thomas frank, was saying i almost lost faith in the football because football god because he was saying, well, how can we dominate game much? we dominate this game so much? we can pepper their goal with shots and yet still can end up and yet still we can end up losing nonetheless

losing this game. nonetheless though, steven man united took the minutes into added the lead six minutes into added time. you're a top club with time. if you're a top club with ambitions about winning, winning trophies and the mentality and the right, you see the culture is right, you see that out. yeah. six that out. yeah, yeah. six minutes into added time and you still see goal. i mean still can see the goal. i mean that happens so rarely in football. so you, football. and so when mind you, we much added time these we get so much added time these days possible to days it's eminently possible to do well. yeah i know, do it quite well. yeah i know, yeahi do it quite well. yeah i know, yeah i know. well there was west and forget ham as and don't forget west ham as well. we touched on well. we should. we touched on those earlier on didn't we. but yeah three one up up 14 yeah three one up 331 up with 14 minutes kalvin phillips minutes to go. kalvin phillips comes the whole comes on and the whole team wreck the thing. but looking ahead today talk about pulling defeat jaws of victory. defeat from the jaws of victory. >> do we're quite good. >> we do that. we're quite good. it's it's unique. it's our skill. it's unique. >> ahead this >> but looking ahead this afternoon huge. the top afternoon it's huge. the top three action liverpool three all in action liverpool fresh the blocks 2:00 fresh out the blocks at 2:00 against brighton. they win against brighton. if they win that go top. they're that then they go top. they're currently second gives currently second and that gives man and arsenal a bit to do man city and arsenal a bit to do this afternoon. liverpool this afternoon. if liverpool were this is were to lose. and this is interesting i was interesting scenario. i was chatting to someone backstage about saying if about this and i was saying if liverpool then the winner liverpool lose then the winner of v versus manchester of arsenal v versus manchester city real incentive there

city has a real incentive there because cause they can effectively matches effectively win two matches because be because liverpool will be knocked back a little bit from their defeat. if they lose and they beat manchester city, don't think it's a three way contest and the incentive there is huge and the incentive there is huge and think that we're going to and i think that we're going to see teams attack each other see both teams attack each other like at 430. like never before. at 430. you're the treble you're talking about the treble winners talking you're talking about the treble winners leaders talking you're talking about the treble winners leaders in talking you're talking about the treble winners leaders in the ing you're talking about the treble winners leaders in the premier about the leaders in the premier league the last eight league who've won the last eight matches, goals aplenty. matches, scoring goals aplenty. this why this match and these this is why this match and these matches these top three matches between these top three sides are sides in the premier league are up the super bowl in up there with the super bowl in terms international interest, terms of international interest, global that mean then >> but does that mean then because you say if liverpool lose it's almost a double lose it's almost like a double win whoever wins. so does win for whoever wins. so does that makes it a must win for liverpool does it. >> without doubt. you >> oh without doubt. well you have a title race like have to be in a title race like this when nobody slips up anymore. i mean, we have a title race. was in 2019 race. i think it was in 2019 when and man city went when liverpool and man city went last 910 games and neither of them it gave inch and it them gave it gave an inch and it was only because city were ahead a earlier in the season a point earlier in the season that them over line that got them over the line later you can't you can't later on. so you can't you can't lose more two three games lose more than two three games

down i mean i down the season. i mean i remember united and arsenal used to title on 80 points. to win the title on 80 points. now need to 100 and now you need close to 100 and you might even win it. liverpool won it 99 points i think. won it on 99 points i think. yeah >> no few yeah » no am >> no a few years ago. >> no a few years ago. >> astonishing. that's the >> it's astonishing. that's the level setting level these clubs are setting and that's why mikel arteta said before this game manchester before this game that manchester city level of city have set a level of football that never football that has never been seen what? seen before. and you know what? given situation, given the point situation, i think facts probably back think the facts probably back him but it quite exciting him up, but it is quite exciting at the moment though. oh yeah. rather oh, just, it's going rather than oh, just, it's going to again. to be them again. >> mean, yeah, i mean we've >> i mean, yeah, i mean we've known have been a few known there have been a few times in the last 4 or 5 years where who the who's where we've known who the who's going in going to win the title in probably february then see probably february and then see then it, to see a title then to see it, to see a title race, it makes it more interesting for to talk interesting for us to talk about. even you only about. yeah. even if you only have passing in have a passing interest in football, likely to football, you're more likely to drop there's an drop into it if there's an actual competition going on rather a processional rather than just a processional race the finish. yeah, race to the finish. yeah, they'll the finish. they'll run to the finish. not even well, yeah, but even a race. well, yeah, but it's to be exciting for 30 it's going to be exciting for 30 at i say, a at the etihad. and as i say, a global well the global tv audience well into the over million. global tv audience well into the over we nillion. global tv audience well into the over we known global tv audience well into the over we know what your >> so we know what your afternoon of.

express. >> should and >> should we. yeah. and alzheimer's jab . alzheimer's prevention jab. >> yeah. well, i mean, it sounds too good to be true. >> it does, it does. and it's very, very exciting. it could potentially a real potentially be a real breakthrough for a lot of people in 900,000 people in this country. 900,000 people in this country. 900,000 people in the uk are are afflicted by dementia. i should think it's more than that. you know , we more than that. you know, we know a lot of old people who who are losing their memory and don't want to call it dementia, but anyway. it could be up don't want to call it dementia, bu1.61yway. it could be up don't want to call it dementia, bu1.6 million it could be up don't want to call it dementia, bu1.6 million it ccbyi be up don't want to call it dementia, bu1.6 million it cc by 2040,» to 1.6 million people by 2040, you and we're all living you know, and we're all living longer. and this is a degenerative brain disease . so degenerative brain disease. so there's this new drug game changing vaccine. it's been called, and what it does is it removes those toxic proteins from the brain, these amyloids that clump together . and that's that clump together. and that's what causes dementia. they're naturally occurring proteins , naturally occurring proteins, but they're not helpful in old age. and they cause the damage. so this is again, it's one of those drugs that should be widely available in five years time. it always seems to be 5 or 6 years. five years with cure 6 years. five years with a cure for or whatever.

for cancer or whatever. >> some some >> so there's still some some more human trials to be. >> yeah. it's >> there are. yeah. it's undergoing at the moment. undergoing trials at the moment. there's been there's a policeman who's been talking, police talking, former senior police officer who developed alzheimer's is taking part alzheimer's and is taking part in trials . he says it's in these trials. he says it's changed his life already. >> right. so, so it will >> oh, right. so, so it will actually work for people who've already stage. already developed some stage. >> so he's undergoing >> yeah. yep so he's undergoing the the he's the trials at the moment. he's part two trial. part of this two phase trial. and says transformed his and he says it's transformed his life three jabs, which is life after three jabs, which is very, very exciting. it's amazing the people have amazing the people that have already that process, already started that process, you know, because you think, well, be too or well, will it be too late or whatever, it whatever, but and considering it is people is increasing and people are developing younger and developing it younger and youngen developing it younger and younger, younger and younger and living living longer living longer, so living longer with something like that for 20 years rather than sort of, you know, getting to retirement age and then having a few left and then having a few years left of but let's see. of life. yeah. but let's see. and cost and the and also the cost and the availability, these are all questions is going questions that the nhs is going to look more to have to look more it's more pressure on the nhs. >> but these are this is where you prioritise these. you need to prioritise these. yeah i it sounds yeah i know it sounds controversial. prioritise controversial. i'd prioritise this . so to ivf. this over. so you have to ivf. >> think have to i think

>> i think you have to i think you really have to. i mean you know, we had a loved one in hospital recently and everyone else on ward was suffering else on the ward was suffering from very from dementia, many of them very elderly, very lonely, no visitors, absolutely heartbreaking to witness. it really was. it's just the most horrific way to lose someone you love. >> well, fingers crossed for that yeah. that one. yeah. >> tom, too much information. yes. told you yes. so i haven't told you anything yet ? anything yet? >> no. in the breaks, there's a lot of tmi going on this panel. no poll that's been no so this is a poll that's been conducted tmi . too much conducted into tmi. too much information. and basically people's people have had enough of it. so about a fifth of brits say they are often on the receiving end of confessions they would prefer to have receiving end of confessions they th,i prefer to have receiving end of confessions they th, really? to have receiving end of confessions they th, really? andto have heard. oh, really? and apparently are the worst offenders. >> well. >> oh well. >> oh well. >> but that kind of makes sense when you. >> how random . >> how random. >> how random. >> norfolk i can understand. >> norfolk i can understand. >> norfolk. >> overshare in norfolk. >> overshare in norfolk. >> overshare in norfolk. >> overshare . there's >> overshare. there's an interesting generational difference. interesting generational diffare|ce. interesting generational diffare you norfolk ? >> are you in norfolk? >> are you in norfolk? >> you know, that's probably would, wouldn't do to mention that, but no, it seems like there's a generational difference as well. so the younger generation, i found younger generation, this i found interesting, like generation z

are bothered are more most bothered by it than generations, than older generations, but maybe they're maybe that's because they're subjected to more of it. in this kind of tell all age that we find ourselves in. kind of tell all age that we fin(|ourselves in. kind of tell all age that we fin(|ourselit's in. kind of tell all age that we fin(|ourselit's because the >> i think it's because the younger reality isn't younger generation reality isn't what share. you share what you share. you share a fabricated reality , don't you? fabricated reality, don't you? with filters and instagram and fake. >> it's a weird world though, because like social media and whatsapp and things like that, they're often there are people that you barely know and that you messaged. you have actually messaged. >> mean, >> yeah, endlessly. i mean, there that i don't there are people that i don't think actually real think i've actually met in real life are of my closest life who are some of my closest friends, and you tell each other everything. so it's of everything. so it's a kind of it's weird are we it's a weird thing are we talking about? we're very, talking about? but we're very, very talking about? but we're very, venare we about social >> are we talking about social media or it just sort of media here or is it just sort of sitting, face to face? sitting, talking face to face? >> one talks. >> no one talks. >> no one talks. >> seems like it like a >> it seems like it seems like a mix things, think mix of things, but i think you're as mix of things, but i think you'isort as mix of things, but i think you'isort of as mix of things, but i think you'isort of gap, as mix of things, but i think you'isort of gap, because as mix of things, but i think you'isort of gap, because the that sort of gap, because the kind of caricature that the kind of caricature is that the sort of facebook users say sort of older facebook users say will of spill and will just kind of spill all and constantly and constantly put up photos and talk themselves, whatever talk about themselves, whatever the is much talk about themselves, whatever the curated. is much talk about themselves, whatever the curated. it's is much talk about themselves, whatever the curated. it's muchis much talk about themselves, whatever the curated. it's much more:h more curated. it's much more about one often quite heavily doctored kind doctored image, which they kind of out and broadcast

of will put out and broadcast the world. so not really see that difference. yeah well i don't, i don't well i don't overshare social media, overshare on social media, because there's just so much you put anything on, you think you can put something on that you think is nice you get think is nice and you get criticism, and people are criticism, it's, and people are so to criticise on there. so quick to criticise on there. >> say things there that >> they say things on there that would to your face, would never say to your face, social be really social media can be really dangerous social media can be really dartheyus social media can be really darthe other day i doing >> the other day i was doing a tv thing someone said they tv thing and someone said they were holiday and when were going on holiday and when were going on holiday and when we all just suddenly oh we all just suddenly thought, oh my you my god, burglaries. yeah, you know think about know, you have to think about what actually saying in what you're actually saying in the public domain. you know, it's no. the public domain. you know, it's yeah, no. the public domain. you know, it's yeah, now sunday mirror has, >> yeah, now sunday mirror has, i'm a celeb winner. giovanna something or other. >> she's called giovanna fletcher. she is. she does this podcast about motherhood and babies and things like that. and she won i'm a celeb in 2022. but she's been talking about her friendship or her her her sort of acquaintance with kate , with of acquaintance with kate, with the princess, with with catherine. and she's been saying how lovely kate is and how much she connects with people. she's

>> and the leader of the opposition, sir keir starmer , opposition, sir keir starmer, couldn't resist making his thinly veiled political message. it's got to be said, he said. the easter story is one of hope and renewal, of overcoming adversity and light prevailing over darkness as families and friends gather to celebrate the holiday, we turn our thoughts towards new beginnings, our future, and how things can change for the better. >> that is the least thinly veiled thing, since the history of thinly veiled things . and of of thinly veiled things. and of course, all eyes will be on windsor as king charles is set to join the royal family for their annual easter service at saint george's chapel. >> to our royal >> and let's talk to our royal correspondent, walker . correspondent, cameron walker. and there has been a real determination, cameron hasn't there for the king to make sure he there today . he is there today. >> absolutely. stephen. >> yeah, absolutely. stephen. happy. easter to you both. it

is, i think, a sign of reassurance that his majesty the king is determined to be king really is determined to be on what it will be his most significant public engagement on what it will be his most signifhis|t public engagement on what it will be his most signifhis cancerc engagement on what it will be his most signifhis cancer diagnosis, ent since his cancer diagnosis, and also, i was surprised because buckingham this buckingham palace confirms this news earlier this week at the start and i was start of last week and i was expecting, we were led to believe that we would not have his attendance confirmed until the itself . now, what the day itself. now, what happens just before this announcement from buckingham palace? the princess of wales revealed herself is revealed that she herself is undergoing preventative chemotherapy been chemotherapy and has been diagnosed as well, diagnosed with cancer as well, which clearly shocks the country, shocks the world. and i'm getting the sense that buckingham his buckingham palace and his majesty king really wanted majesty the king really wanted to provide that reassurance to the public. and according to a source speaking the source speaking to the telegraph, this morning, it's a sign things are heading in the right direction when it comes to the king's recovery. is the king's recovery. now it is going a scaled back going to be a scaled back service. that's on doctor's advice. it's understood the king can't be around too many crowds advice. it's understood the king ca the )e around too many crowds advice. it's understood the king ca the moment. too many crowds advice. it's understood the king ca the moment. that'sany crowds advice. it's understood the king ca the moment. that's whyrowds advice. it's understood the king ca the moment. that's why weds advice. it's understood the king ca the moment. that's why we did at the moment. that's why we did not see him at the worcester cathedral. maundy service on

thursday. the queen was there in in his place or instead of him. but there will be other members of the royal family attending this service in windsor later on. we don't know which members of family. what do of the royal family. what we do know not be the know is that it will not be the prince princess of wales prince and princess of wales or prince and princess of wales or prince princess prince george, princess charlotte prince louis. they prince george, princess chataking prince louis. they prince george, princess chataking easter:e louis. they prince george, princess chataking easter outyuis. they prince george, princess chataking easter out to ;. they prince george, princess chataking easter out to come! are taking easter out to come to terms with the princess of wales's cancer diagnosis. so there will be a bit of a turnout, but perhaps the headune turnout, but perhaps the headline his majesty the king headline is his majesty the king will be there. >> cameron, do you think that he'll be more determined to do it because catherine's situation? >> w- >> yeah, i think he would actually. dawn he's a bit of a workaholic because he and his aides have said publicly in the past, and i think from what his niece, not niece, nephew said to an australian channel a couple of weeks ago, the king is getting a bit frustrated. this is peter phillips i'm talking about , speaking to a about sort, speaking to a journalist, he said he's getting frustrated can't do the frustrated that he can't do the things would to things that he would like to having having to

having to scale back, having to cancel engagements, having to let other members of the royal family do it on his behalf. and, you know , the chapel itself is you know, the chapel itself is technically in his own house, isn't it? windsor castle is one of his many properties. it's not exactly big, ask to walk down exactly a big, ask to walk down or be driven down to the chapel to then sit inside so the king will very much want to do that . will very much want to do that. but doctors will clearly be wary because kind treatment because of the kind of treatment he's he cannot be he's undergoing. he cannot be around many stop around too many people to stop to stop infections. that that's the reason. so it's been adjusted for his majesty. it's been back, it's been scaled back, but it's definitely not been cancelled. and would very determined, and he would be very determined, i be there today. i think, to be there today. >> okay, cameron, thanks very much indeed. now coming up at 930, this one, we've got a special day. arlene foster is hosting a special gb news easter sunday show and she's here. good morning, good morning, happy easter, happy easter. before we talk show , can i ask talk about the show, can i ask you about northern ireland? yes, because obviously there's been charges laid against the leader of dup . he's had to step

of the dup. he's had to step back and all. it's, you know, that we allow that to run its course. sure. however what does that mean for stability of power sharing in northern ireland, which is of course only just resumed. >> it has only just resumed. and i think a lot of people are concerned about that. but the interim is gavin interim leader is gavin robinson. stepped he robinson. he has stepped in. he has been deputy leader now for some he's a very well some time. he's a very well respected individual across the political spectrum, very political spectrum, he's very well respected for his seriousness and i think he will bnng seriousness and i think he will bring stability to what is a terrible shock for everybody in northern ireland, not just in the party, and i think he will provide that stability. and i think institutions will think the institutions will continue . it's of course, continue along. it's of course, as you say, very soon back, you know, i mean, it just came back and this happened. so it's a huge shock for everybody. but i think gavin will provide stability. okay >> so what's coming up on the show? mentioned having three show? you mentioned having three frenchmen yeah. which frenchmen in. yeah. which got us both very excited to be honest. >> not one, not two, but three frenchmen are coming in to talk about hot cross buns and they're

bringing hot cross buns as well. so might want hang them so you might want to hang them out also going out for that, we're also going to looking at the papers to be looking at the papers obviously. that obviously. and that poll that very that very important poll that has come today the tory come out today about the tory party, at party, i'll be looking at that with a former press from with a former head of press from number so we're taking a number 10. so we're taking a look at some of the polls that are at the moment. are out there at the moment. >> what what you make >> i mean, what what do you make of mean, it's i am of that? i mean, it's i am absolutely blown away by it. the idea any party could have idea that any party could have a 246 or was it 86 seat majority is just unbelievable . is just unbelievable. >> yeah. well, it would be historic, of course, if it did happen. and these are just polls . and former politician, . and as a former politician, polls polls. what happens on polls are polls. what happens on the something very the day is something very different. know , it is different. but you know, it is an indication that things are not getting better the not getting any better for the tory party, and we've heard some voices within the tory party saying, look, we need to do something here. if we keep doing what doing, we are what we're doing, then we are going up with historic going to end up with a historic low people frost, low. people like david frost, obviously are obviously robert jenrick are saying , look, we need to change

saying, look, we need to change course here. so it'll be interesting to see what happens post easter. >> politically, politically, post easter. >> pydoically, politically, post easter. >> pydoicalljthink tically, post easter. >> pydoicalljthink the lly, post easter. >> pydoicalljthink the thinking what do you think the thinking is? i was earlier is? because i was saying earlier on, understand on, i don't understand the political way , political thinking in a way, because the public are getting frustrated my, my, if frustrated now. yeah, my, my, if i was talking to the to the prime minister, i'd say just call it, just get on with it. now. we need to know what's going obviously politically going on. obviously politically that necessarily that isn't necessarily what you want what will he be want to do. so what will he be thinking? you understand the mindset better than rest mindset better than the rest of us. do you think so? >> well, think we're all >> no. well, i think we're all when we had the budget, i think some of us were expecting a bit more. and so i think there's going to be another fiscal event . this is what they're planning probably september, probably for early september, october time. if that's to happen, then they're hoping that that will give them a bit of a lift at the time. so i don't think you will see a poll until the time. think you will see a poll until the right. ime. think you will see a poll until the right. okay sorry about >> all right. okay sorry about that. no no no no no no. just one i just want to crack on. can i ask obviously easter i ask about, obviously easter sunday? yes, with the importance of it. i mean, particularly, in

northern ireland, where it's obviously in a sense i would, i would imagine ireland would imagine northern ireland is christian is still sort of more christian in a way, in terms of how people view themselves and than perhaps the mainland. but how important is you as an individual to is it to you as an individual to mark this, this important weekend, but today to look at the resurrection of christ and, and the idea that our, you know, our sins are, are taken away from us, we have a chance to repent . repent. >> well, as a christian, easter is the high point, if you like. easter sunday is the high point of the year because is when of the year because it is when we celebrate the resurrection. that central your that key central part of your faith . and i'll be speaking to faith. and i'll be speaking to doctor gavin ashenden, who's going explain why easter is going to explain why easter is so important to so many of us. and to take a look back over all of that. of course, he was the former chaplain to the late queen. know important queen. we all know how important easter and christianity was to the late queen, and think it's the late queen, and i think it's wonderful that the king is going to make an appearance today at easter, because easter is about hope, it's about renewal. i hope, it's about renewal. and i think fact that he's going

think the fact that he's going to church today is a really strong statement. >> yeah, yeah it is arlene. >> yeah, yeah it is arlene. >> brilliant. look forward to seeing at half half and seeing you at half half time and enjoy the cross buns. enjoy the hot cross buns. >> yes. >> e frenchman. >> and the frenchman. >> and the frenchman. >> going to say >> i knew you were going to say that. >> it's disgraceful. >> it's disgraceful. >> okay, let's just take you to the vatican. actually, because a mass easter mass is underway , mass easter mass is underway, with pope francis. now, of course, he's not been. he's not beenin course, he's not been. he's not been in best of health been in the best of health himself , but been in the best of health himself, but he has been. and we know he's he he missed a couple of events over the weekend, but he because he said he wanted to keep his strength for today. as he said, the most important day in the christian calendar had a glimpse of him there on these close ups, have we? >> no, we haven't. >> no, we haven't. >> i think the one thing i mean, i don't have a faith like arlene does, but i think the one thing that i think concerns me about easter at the moment is how little people actually understand about the religious

significance of easter. we know more about the easter bunny and chocolate than we do about, you know , what happened and why we know, what happened and why we celebrate easter. >> well, that's that's a commercialisation, isn't it? it's the same. it's the same with christmas and all all the big events actually . but but big events actually. but but it's things like this which, which should bring it home to us. yeah. as in this obviously case the catholic church. but of course protestants and anglicans around the world celebrating two the resurrection of jesus after three days in the tomb and what that signifies for our future and the sting of death, as they say, you know, being removed. >> you really hope that the message coming from this easter globally is of regeneration , globally is of regeneration, rebirth and hope? >> well, i think that's the most important thing. >> i think we are, in desperate need of that. >> yeah, very much so.

>> yeah, very much so. >> to be fair , we do need hope. >> to be fair, we do need hope. >> to be fair, we do need hope. >> we desperately need peace in the world at the moment. there is a lot of hatred, a lot of angen is a lot of hatred, a lot of anger, a lot of tribalism, really , which is problematic. really, which is problematic. and we do need to try and deal with people, try and blame religion for that. >> but it's not religion that causes that. it's the people that that. that's causes that. it's the people thatwhat that. that's causes that. it's the people thatwhat any that. that's causes that. it's the people thatwhat any religion that's causes that. it's the people thatwhat any religion teaches. not what any religion teaches. >> no it isn't, okay. we're >> no, no it isn't, okay. we're going to take short break

>> gb news is the home of free speech. >> we were created to champion it, and we deliver it day in, day out. free speech allows us all to explore and debate openly the issues most important to us. our families . and of course, the our families. and of course, the british people having challenging conversations to enlighten each other. >> which is why we hear all sides of the argument. >> are people's channel. sides of the argument. >> we are people's channel. sides of the argument. >> we will people's channel. sides of the argument. >> we will always ple's channel. sides of the argument. >> we will always stand:hannel. sides of the argument. >> we will always stand by1nel. sides of the argument. >> we will always stand by the. >> we will always stand by the freedom to express yourself on tv , radio and online. tv, radio and online. >> this is gb news, britain's news channel .

news channel. >> 9:16. good morning to you. now it might be easter sunday, but society in the uk is becoming increasingly secular. churches are finding it harder than ever to have their message heard, and the numbers in congregations are shrinking . congregations are shrinking. >> but what role should churches be playing in our modern day society? our northern ireland reporter dougie beattie , visited reporter dougie beattie, visited an outreach ministry in belfast that deals with addiction and homelessness. >> we go out and reach people in society who are broken , many of society who are broken, many of them living on the streets and when they live on the streets, 99% of them then get addicted to drugs in some way. we bring them in and we offer them hope, the hopeis in and we offer them hope, the hope is found in jesus christ, teen challenge can't change anyone but jesus christ can. and we make that plain to the folk,

that there is a way out of addiction and there is a way out of the darkness. and there is a way out of the pain and that there is our motto is there is hope. our motto is putting hope within the reach of every addict, and the hope, which is the name this which is the name of this building. the hope is jesus. >> pastor brian martin leads the teen challenge in belfast and points to the need for a sense of belonging and belief. >> everyone that comes in here belongs. they don't necessarily go to church, but they love coming love coming to coming here. they love coming to a christian organisation . they a christian organisation. they they never, ever, ever refuse prayer. i just prayed with a young man there five minutes ago. i think it's the first time anyone has prayed for him in his life. >> when churches such as this one were first built, they were so much more than a place to worship. they projected power and social standing. they were a communication hub for the

community. but do they still have the same relevance today? >> buildings are for the very nature. they're buildings that at one time could have fulfilled at one time could have fulfilled a very important function , and a very important function, and maybe they don't now. so if you think back to the earlier centuries, walking into a church building could have been a warm and comfortable space, a place where there was sense of where there was a sense of community, they didn't community, where they didn't have buildings. have other grand buildings. imagine into a cathedral imagine walking into a cathedral and the high ceilings, the stained glass windows, the grandeur of all just spoke of grandeur of it all just spoke of the majesty of god. >> churches funding >> many churches are funding the hope evangelist hope project and evangelist keith mitchell says churches may change, but their message must remain. >> so a core principle shouldn't change and our message should always be one in terms of what is the culture saying around us and how do we engage in that culture in a way that we are? we are living out love and grace, but also we're embracing truth. we're not compromising on truth. and i think the church has a radical message of hope to still

bnng radical message of hope to still bring to the world today. and we do that in lots of different ways. so you might be looking at an old now and say, you an old building now and say, you know, how is this relevant? but it's from the cafe at the side. and when people come in here on a thursday night to worship, they something contemporary. a thursday night to worship, they see something contemporary. a thursday night to worship, they see somethingcontemporary. a thursday night to worship, they see somethingconte they ary. a thursday night to worship, they see somethingconte they see they see something new, they see something fresh. in something fresh. and in the world people need hope. world today, people need hope. and the church champions hope more than any other religious organisation in the world. >> beattie gb news, >> dougie beattie gb news, belfast . belfast. >> now here's something to warm the cockles of your heart . the cockles of your heart. keepers at a zoo in leicestershire have welcomed the birth of a francois langur, an endangered species of primate. >> the primate is native to china and north vietnam is listed as endangered, according to the international union for conservation of nature. red list, which names the world's most endangered species . most endangered species. >> well, let's talk to director of conserve at twycross zoo

doctor rebecca little, who joins us now. really good to see you this morning. how important is it that this new little life has been born here in the uk ? been born here in the uk? >> good morning. yeah, it's super important that we've had this new francois langur born here at twycross zoo. we're very excited about it. it joins a group of these primates that we have. so we have eight in in the zoo now. but as you said, these animals are endangered in the wild. and scientists think there's less than 2000 of them left. so everything that we can do to try and support them, be that breeding them zoos and that breeding them in zoos and ex—situ conservation, and also supporting in—situ conservation, all that is extremely important for this species . for this species. >> rebecca, why are they so endangered ? endangered? >> so they have quite a specific habitat . so they live in habitat. so they live in tropical forests. so limestone cliffs and caves in those tropical forests and that tropical forests and that tropical forests and that tropical forest is under threat, like most of the tropical forest across the world at the moment,

and that's threatened really from habitat destruction. so changing of the forest for , changing of the forest for, areas for agriculture. so clearing for agriculture , clearing for agriculture, logging, wood trapping, but but also so the monkeys themselves, have been trapped quite a lot, either for meat or for the pet trade. so they face quite a lot of threats, really , on quite of threats, really, on quite a wide variety of different areas . wide variety of different areas. >> what's happening globally then, as part of the conservation effort? i mean, obviously great success for twycross , but what's happening twycross, but what's happening in other parts of the world. >> yeah. so i guess there's many zoos around europe that are keeping the species and trying to keep the species alive in captivity. so there's probably about 50, francois langur at the moment in european zoos who are all trying to, maintain a genetically sustainable population of these species for the future, but equally, there's a lot of international support. so twycross zoo supports the
