9:46 am
probably a little bit of an oversight or maybe she just slightly rules , i would slightly bent the rules, i would not she bent the rules, not say that she bent the rules, but i think it's the royal family that had that phrase about never complain , never about never complain, never explain. media are always about never complain, never explaito media are always about never complain, never explaito be media are always about never complain, never explaito be toughzdia are always about never complain, never explaito be tough on| are always about never complain, never explaito be tough on labourrvays about never complain, never explaito be tough on labour inls going to be tough on labour in an election year, and the party has to live with that . where i'd has to live with that. where i'd perhaps challenge some parts of the its inverse , the the media is its inverse, the principles of british justice. it's that someone that's it's not that someone that's innocent and has to prove their innocence, it's if a newspaper like the mail on sunday believes that angela rayner is guilty of wrongdoing, it has to prove that. what i've read, that. and from what i've read, so far, it's not been proven. so, british justice so, according to british justice , you don't have to prove yourself innocent. it's down to yourself innocent. it's down to your to come up with something. >> well, peter, you probably haven't read enough of the coverage because the mail coverage then, because the mail on quoted on sunday has quoted extensively. of the extensively. neighbours of the house where she claimed to she was said she did was living and they said she did not there, she moved out, not live there, she moved out, she in her husband she moved in with her husband and the house was rented out to her brother. that's what the neighbours have said. are the neighbours have said. are the
9:47 am
neighbours no and >> well, i have no idea. and andrew, well , how can you assume? >> well, how can you assume then, that peter , you said the then, that peter, you said the mail sunday have produced no mail on sunday have produced no evidence series evidence they produced a series of said she's of neighbours who said she's lying. you, the lying. i'm asking you, are the neighbours andrew? lying. i'm asking you, are the nei�*firstjrs andrew? lying. i'm asking you, are the nei�*first of andrew? lying. i'm asking you, are the nei�*first of all, andrew? lying. i'm asking you, are the nei�*first of all, the ndrew? lying. i'm asking you, are the nei�*first of all, the mailv? lying. i'm asking you, are the nei�*first of all, the mail on >> first of all, the mail on sunday produced allegations they've not produced proof. secondly the neighbours in stockport are up the road . i've stockport are up the road. i've not met so i'm not. i'm not going to trash them when i've no idea who they are. but i'm sure as a reasonable person you accept the point. it's down to an accuser to prove wrongdoing, rather than a politician to have to prove their innocence. >> henry, does she have to prove her innocence now? does she have to come out and show maybe the tax return from that year? or perhaps there was written correspondence from a tax adviser to say that she didn't have pay capital gains. have to pay capital gains. >> indeed, i think that was i think i think we've almost moved past that point now, that's what she should have done at the beginning. this is beginning. look this is a non—story. everybody here is the legal advice i've taken. this is
9:48 am
my accountants advice. i've complied with that fully, if there is a problem there, then, you know, let's get that out in the open and i will address it. that could have killed this dead. probably, but she didn't. she's kept this. whatever advice she's whoever she's she's had from whoever she's had, it . she's had from whoever she's had, it. she's kept she's had from whoever she's had, it . she's kept that she's had from whoever she's had, it. she's kept that a secret. it's out there in secret. it's not out there in the eye. and i appreciate the public eye. and i appreciate there might be some public information, some private information, some private information that she information in there that she doesn't reveal. well, information in there that she does needs reveal. well, information in there that she does needs to reveal. well, information in there that she does needs to be eveal. well, information in there that she does needs to be redacted, .l, information in there that she doesneeds to be redacted, but that needs to be redacted, but fundamentally, got fundamentally, what we've got here a situation that she is here is a situation that she is creating or she is enabling . the creating or she is enabling. the labour party is enabling and thatis labour party is enabling and that is that to further the disappointment of the british people in terms of the transport agency and the integrity of our politicians on all sides . no, politicians on all sides. no, we're not talking about william wragg at the moment, but there's the man on the conservative side who should be out now without any hesitation. if he doesn't resign, should kicked out. resign, he should be kicked out. i'm saying the same thing about angela she should angela rayner. she should pubush angela rayner. she should
9:49 am
publish . she what? publish whatever she. she what? her you like, or go. her defence, if you like, or go. and that's not a matter we've just heard that. that you know there are accusations. yes. there are plenty of accusations out there that are unfounded and many, many people in all sorts of walks of life have lost their jobs, had their lives destroyed because of accusations that have been unfounded. well, you know, let's see that this is unfounded. if angela rayner has got the evidence that it's unfounded, why doesn't she clear it up? >> peter, do you think that ironically, this might play to the benefit of labour because there are some people, i think, who would go. well, actually, if i had a second home, or if the reason we're talking about a second home is because it was she bought the council house, i think we should be really clear about this. but then she'd moved in then partner. in with her. then partner. >> but she says she's but she says she the council says her she kept the council house the prime, as a house as the prime, as a principal residence. >> principal residence. principal residence. >> irincipal residence. principal residence. >> i thinkal residence. principal residence. >> i think there'llnce. principal residence. >> i think there'll be. >> and i think there'll be people well, £1,500 she people saying, well, £1,500 she should maybe it
9:50 am
should have paid. maybe it doesn't really matter now. it was a few years ago, you know, stop giving her a hard time. it casts a bit of a victim. and some people might vote for labour because they feel a bit sorry her. sorry for her. >> wouldn't put quite >> i wouldn't put it quite in those terms. think honesty those terms. so i think honesty and are important all and integrity are important all the even if we're talking the time, even if we're talking about although about a pound. although obviously remember about a pound. although obviinadhim remember about a pound. although obviinadhim the nember about a pound. although obviinadhim the former' that nadhim zahawi, the former tory chair, had a reported settlement of £5 million with hmrc which led to his resignation . i think there's a resignation. i think there's a broader point that certain parts of the public realise that labour get a very tough time in an election year, you're both remember that when ed miliband was leader, there was an allegation against him in several newspapers that ran and ran ran over inheritance ran and ran over inheritance tax, alleged avoidance . that was tax, alleged avoidance. that was also not proven. so these things do come up in an election year. secondly, i'd say angela has published more information about her separation, her home and her children all quite intimate matters than many other politicians ever do .
9:51 am
politicians ever do. >> henry peter mentioned nadhim zahawi in the £5 million. it's not about the amount of money, in my view. it's about the principle. if tax was due, it should have been paid and if it's and is she being honest about it? it doesn't matter if it's £500 or 5 million. in my view . view. >> i agree it's about whether or not she's lying about it . if not she's lying about it. if this was an innocent mistake, she should cough up to it and pay she should cough up to it and pay what's due, and show provide some sort of evidence that she's not been lying with ill intent. now, there's two other things about this. one is she's been asked about this many, many times , she has denied it times, she has denied it vociferously. and then the mail on sunday publish evidence that she's lying, and it's pretty damning evidence, i'd say , and damning evidence, i'd say, and it's certainly i mean, i'm a former police officer. it would be the sort of evidence that. absolutely, want an absolutely, i'd want to open an investigation was investigation about if it was a criminal matter. but there's the other , she has also other thing that, she has also there's a hypocrisy there. she
9:52 am
has called upon various conservatives to resign with immediate effect because they have demonstrated that they've lied or misled somebody or something, including boris johnson, and now she's failing to meet the same standards that she was applying to them. and the third thing is that the other element that we've not mentioned this particular mentioned in this particular discussion is that is discussion so far is that is about where she registered for, as standing for in the general election. so she's there is this issue and i don't know the, the detail. i don't know , i wouldn't detail. i don't know, i wouldn't like to judge it, but still, there is an issue as to whether or not she lied about where she was living, whether it was the address that registered address that she registered for the that to be the election that needs to be investigated as well. this is a whole series of things that are making her and i think the labour party and politicians labour party and all politicians look bad . it needs to look extremely bad. it needs to be dealt with. cannot go on. be dealt with. it cannot go on. british public are losing credibility their credibility by in their politicians by the moment. and this is just making matters
9:53 am
worse is david lammy right that we're treating her differently because she's a woman and because she's a woman and because she's a woman and because she's northern? >> because in my experience, northern women are good northern women are pretty good at for ourselves. at sticking up for ourselves. >> well, i've lived in west yorkshire and in carlisle, so it's a very , blunt environment, it's a very, blunt environment, which i enjoyed. i've not seen everything david lammy said . but everything david lammy said. but i you both agree. there i think you both agree. there is, think there's a bit of an is, i think there's a bit of an undercurrent of sexism in british kind of, political journalism or almost non—stop, andifs journalism or almost non—stop, and it's very sad, but but that that's a separate point that everyone has to be honest about their tax affairs, with no exception . exception. >> okay. all right. thank you, gentlemen. fascinating very much, henry bolton, peter edwards there, lots of you getting in touch on here. and in fact, onslow has just got in touch to say andrew's got his elbows on the table, but i'm not having my dinner. >> not having my lunch? >> not having my lunch? >> this is because in just a moment, we're going to be talking whether you should moment, we're going to be talkyour whether you should moment, we're going to be talkyour elbows|ether you should moment, we're going to be talkyour elbows on|er you should moment, we're going to be talkyour elbows on the ou should moment, we're going to be talkyour elbows on the table.�*uld moment, we're going to be talkyour elbows on the table. isd put your elbows on the table. is that acceptable anymore? are manners relevant? think

10:12 am
and business research, vicky pryce . good morning vicky. great pryce. good morning vicky. great to just explain to to see you. so just explain to us why this might be beneficial to some pensioners but not to others, that's really interesting because of course we're talking about pensioners who started , drawing their who started, drawing their pension or retired after 2016, the summer of 2016, who get this full rate state pension at present, which has gone up by 8.5, which is good news, but there are loads more who of course retire a little bit earlier who don't get anything like that, they are getting one part of it, if you like, which is a smaller bit, increasing at, at this rate. but the additional pension that perhaps they're getting or heads contracted out to be getting, in addition to the basic pension, the basic state pension they were receiving at the time only goes up receiving at the time only goes ”p by receiving at the time only goes up by 6.7. so you have already a division between the sort of the
10:13 am
older generation which gets less and the younger generation of retirees, which gets a little bit more. so there's confusion there already. and then there are some who, as you rightly say, are now being pushed into paying say, are now being pushed into paying tax for the first time. and others were not. so there is a discrepancy across a big, big discrepancy across and just summarise it by and to just summarise it by saying, you know, pensioners are doing because they get doing so well because they get this 8.5% following about 10% a year before, is, i think over egging the pudding, if you like. >> and the, the freezing of the, personal allowances. vicky, that's happening over a four year period. that's taking not just some pensioners into tax for the first time or even higher taxes. it's going to affect a lot of other people too. and people, nurses, teachers, doctors , all sorts of teachers, doctors, all sorts of people are going to suddenly find they're either in the 40% tax rate or even worse, the £0.45 rate. £0.45 tax rate. >> absolutely. so we already had quite a pension saying that they are suddenly starting to pay tax. the calculation is tax. i think the calculation is about 2 million, of, pensioners
10:14 am
now over the last couple of years have now come into paying tax, which weren't doing tax, which they weren't doing before. of course , you before. and then of course, you know, there is the issue of those are the higher tax rate. but you that the average but you assume that the average pensioner, getting an pensioner, if they're getting an occupational in addition occupational pension in addition to normal state pension, to their normal state pension, you probably not you know, i still probably not going to be at the 40% tax bracket. so so that that i think at least is the case for, for the majority . but yes, you're the majority. but yes, you're absolutely right. we've also seen, millions moving into the higher tax bracket as well. normally simply because of this tax freeze. the personal, allowance tax freeze, which has taken place . you know, it's been taken place. you know, it's been with us now for a number of years and it's likely to continue unless, of course, the new government changes it. >> vicky, clearly we realise >> vicky, you clearly we realise you're a financial adviser >> vicky, you clearly we realise yo necessarily nancial adviser >> vicky, you clearly we realise yo necessarily aincial adviser >> vicky, you clearly we realise yo necessarily a taxal adviser >> vicky, you clearly we realise yo necessarily a tax expert;er >> vicky, you clearly we realise yo necessarily a tax expert , r >> vicky, you clearly we realise yo necessarily a tax expert , but or necessarily a tax expert, but i imagine you'll have an opinion on this. >> t- p- t— g would it for be >> how easy would it for be angela rayner to up angela rayner to clear up whether not pay enough whether she did not pay enough capital gains tax in 2015? >> what people are saying is
10:15 am
perhaps you should publish the advice that she got and maybe that will sort things out. but i think that that's where they could it could it have just been a phone call, though? >> speak your >> if you speak to your accountant or a financial adviser, maybe was adviser, maybe it was just a phone yeah, phone call and they said, yeah, you through. she you can put this through. she wouldn't necessarily have a paper she ? paper trail, would she? >> i have no idea. but she seems to suggest that she got advice and she doesn't to publish and she doesn't want to publish it, that means. it, whatever that means. we suggest there is paper suggest perhaps there is a paper trail. well , that's interesting. >> oh, well, that's interesting. >> oh, well, that's interesting. >> vicky, thank you that as ever. >> even >> thanks, vicky . yes, bryce. >> thanks, vicky. yes, bryce. >> thanks, vicky. yes, bryce. >> she's, a great, great authority on the. >> she's she's probably right. maybe there is a trail. maybe there is a paper trail. >> she doesn't want to publish it. >> but this pension business, you know, the tories. mel stride for pensions. he's for work and pensions. he's wheeled it's great wheeled out saying it's great news. great news if you news. it is great news if you get and a half. but get your eight and a half. but if dragged tax if you're not dragged into tax and be honest and they've got to be honest about look, that's about it. well look, that's what's so irritating. >> who's in >> well, frederick, who's got in touch system touch with our new system gbnews.com slash gb news.com forward slash yourself, i gbnews.com forward slash yourself, i will pay yourself, has said i will pay more from as my more tax from today as my service pension also go up service pension will also go up the amount. i used to pay the same amount. i used to pay

10:41 am
and that friendship ever since. it's not a military alliance, however. it was very much foreign diplomacy and foreign foreign diplomacy and foreign foreign policy. and the monarchy is the power of soft diplomacy personified. and british and french officials here today will be hoping that it's going to show the strength of the friendship between britain and indeed france, so approved by his majesty the king. for the first time today, french soldiers will be in the forecourt of buckingham palace, taking part in the changing of the guard ceremony. 32 soldiers of the gendarmerie guards, republican . i'm not going to republican. i'm not going to attempt. the accent will be marching alongside 40 guardsmen from the f company, scots guards. there will be parading together inside the forecourt of buckingham palace at 11:00. so not long to go now. the duke of kentis not long to go now. the duke of kent is the scots guards royal colonel. we don't expect him to be here today. who we do expect is the duke and duchess of edinburgh. we saw them arrive around ago into around 20 minutes ago into buckingham palace. so that's prince edward sophie. they prince edward and sophie. they will inspecting the troops on
10:42 am

10:45 am
meghan , duchess of sussex. she meghan, duchess of sussex. she is for an incredibly is in the uk for an incredibly long time now. in hindsight, and perhaps doesn't want to perhaps she doesn't want to become a bit of a distraction for prince harry's invictus games, clearly is the main games, which clearly is the main event something which event and something which is very there is very worthwhile. but there is all the distractions how all the distractions about how is to be kept secure. is he going to be kept secure. he's course, he's appealing is he going to be kept secure. he':decision;e, he's appealing is he going to be kept secure. he':decision by he's appealing is he going to be kept secure. he':decision by the appealing is he going to be kept secure. he':decision by the courts, ing the decision by the courts, which kind of threw out his case against the home office over police security. so it's all very messy when it comes to the duke of sussex. but as for the working royals , they're very working royals, they're very much focused on what's happening here palace . here today at buckingham palace. >> and of course, we were told, weren't the princess of weren't we, that the princess of wales would return to some dufies wales would return to some duties after easter. we're now after easter. we all wish her well. obviously she was forced into a position of having to relay that private medical information. really. but do we know when we might see her camera on any news? >> well, that after easter message, i'm afraid , is message, i'm afraid, is certainly not the up to date one
10:46 am
because of the princess's cancer diagnosis, she is undergoing preventative chemotherapy at the moment. what i am hearing from those close to the princess is that she may well decide to attend certain events if she feels up to it, and if she's really keen to go . but in terms really keen to go. but in terms of a return to full scale public dufies of a return to full scale public duties and full as a full time working royal, i suspect that's some time to come yet. but perhaps, maybe we'll see her at some point this summer. but it just honestly depends on how her treatment goes, and we just don't the answer to that don't know the answer to that question moment. don't know the answer to that queokay. moment. don't know the answer to that queokay. catherine, >> okay. and catherine, we saw the in the the king in the in the in the privacy his car at privacy of his car at sandringham yesterday . sandringham yesterday. >> going to church, is he is he going to be doing many public dufies going to be doing many public duties ? duties? >> well, we saw him on easter sunday, andrew, didn't we? and windsor castle, he was greeting the crowds quite unexpectedly. we weren't expecting him to do so. that shows there's so. and that shows there's a real sign that the treatment appears to going in the right appears to be going in the right direction. and i think those
10:47 am
close charles really close to king charles are really hoping that that's positive hoping that that's a positive sign. towards the sign. as we look towards the summer, trooping the colour summer, the trooping the colour ceremony and the 80th anniversary of the d—day landings , two events the king is landings, two events the king is keen to attend, look more keen to attend, they look more likely they perhaps were likely than they perhaps were back january. course, back in january. and of course, the australia tour, which is being talked about and certainly is ruled out by royal is not being ruled out by royal sources today, october. >> thank you. cameron >> all right. thank you. cameron cameron down cameron walker there down at buckingham cameron walker there down at buckinqup1 cameron walker there down at buckinqup next, in a change of >> now up next, in a change of tone, how seriously should we take speculation that there could potentially be world war iii here with

gb news? so is britain ready for war? it's an apocalyptic question . it's an apocalyptic question. david cameron, of course, is off to washington to warn the us. risking the west security by holding up a new aid package for ukraine. >> meanwhile, former armed forces minister james heappey has global
10:51 am
has said that this global instability could easily lead to a war and that we're a a new cold war and that we're a long way behind in our preparations. >> well, joining us is the defence expert of all experts, the editor of the the defence editor of the evening fox. evening standard, robert fox. robert, talking just robert, we were talking just before down. if this if before you sat down. if this if it's as bad as these former defence ministers say like james heappey, what did they do about it? >> very little. and this is what they're putting their hands up. >> he's been supported by >> and he's been supported by his ben wallace. his former boss, ben wallace. yeah. army officers . yeah. both former army officers. there's a slight element, andrew, not me, guv. oh, i andrew, of not me, guv. oh, i tried my best. so and actually, sadly, heappey is very straight on things like that. but he does think as a formerjunior think as a former junior infantry officer, we're not going to go back to preparing for war as we did before. even in 1939, 1940. it's resilience . in 1939, 1940. it's resilience. it's the whole piece that we're under threat constantly from cyben under threat constantly from cyber, from space. by that i mean satellite communication. we want light, flexible, contemporary forces. and this
10:52 am
funny enough, the pictures of the parade , it was looking very the parade, it was looking very sentimental and i but it's actually how the british are going to work with forces like the and i mean the french the french and i mean the french and the northern countries , not and the northern countries, not so much germany because they're so much germany because they're so riven politically, but it's how we face these very strange threats, which we're very focused on russia. we're very focused on russia. we're very focused on russia. we're very focused on hamas, and quite rightly. but it's not just going to be states, it's going to be a mixture of hybrids . and the mixture of hybrids. and the world is very, very unstable . world is very, very unstable. >> how did a tory government, the tories, always were the party that was seen as strongest on defence, the party you could rely on defence. how has it become such a bad? how is the defence? is it such a mess? frankly, procurement is disastrous. we've got aircraft carriers which don't appear to work properly , planes that don't work properly, planes that don't fly properly. it's a what went wrong i think, andrew, we have to begin at the beginning and i think that it was a huge mistake to put defence into the
10:53 am
austerity basket. >> right. it's not that you should have spent profligately. can i say that? but there were great mistakes like the nuclear, which is hugely expensive and costly and it isn't a luxury. and by the way, that is one thing that rishi sunak is going to do within 2 or 3 weeks is going be a big announcement going to be a big announcement of programme, of the nuclear programme, because of because we're in an era of nuclear proliferation and europe, including france , is europe, including france, is looking to anglo—french leadership on this in view of the political instability in america, if you're following me. so nuclear should have been put to one side and they should have looked at what they were going to do after the messy wars that they were coming out of in a very, very inelegant way, namely iraq and afghanistan. and the other thing , on the whole, other thing, on the whole, social context in which you were going to have to recruit and recruiting has been appalling. they haven't taken board the they haven't taken on board the

very much. and good morning from the newsroom. it's just after 11:00. the top story this hour. millions of senior citizens will feel the benefits of an 8.5% pension boost from today worth up to £900. for people that are claiming the full amount, it means last year's rate of £10,600 will rise to £11,500. however the liberal democrats say that the so—called stealth taxes will wipe out over three quarters of that increase as more pensioners are dragged into paying more pensioners are dragged into paying income tax. well, work and pensions secretary mel stride told gb news this morning that the government is committed to supporting pensioners. we're committed, for example, to the triple lock, which as you know, is putting up pensions year on year by the greater of 2.5% or earnings or the level of inflation. >> and i think that's one of the proudest achievements, actually, of this conservative government that we brought because that we brought that in, because it's that 2010, it's meant that since 2010, pensioners £1,000 a year pensioners are £1,000 a year better off than they would have

11:05 am
office is located in westminster, next to saint james's park in the capital is elitist and should be replaced with bannau premises with fewer colonial era pictures on the wall. that report also calls on parliament to rebrand the department, creating what they've called a more open working culture as part of its new forward looking mandate . in new forward looking mandate. in other news, the deputy prime minister, oliver dowden, has denied claims that the government is failing to prepare for war. two former defence ministers say that britain isn't ready for conflict and suggests that some ministers are. they say, just hoping that threats will go away. james heappey and ben wallace cited examples of allies like sweden , where the allies like sweden, where the pubuc allies like sweden, where the public have been given war preparation guidance, including a booklet explaining what to do in a time of war. the intervention from those two long serving ministers comes as rishi sunak faces growing pressure to increase defence spending . the increase defence spending. the start of this working week has
11:06 am
been hit hard by severe travel disruption, with no trains running on some of england's busiest rail routes due to ongoing strikes. drivers with aslef union have walked out in their long running dispute over pay their long running dispute over pay and conditions, with the south east and east anglia the worst affected areas, including southern, greater anglia and thameslink. the dispute has been running now for two years and there's still no sign of a breakthrough . and finally, breakthrough. and finally, before we head back to andrew and bev. tens of millions of people will be looking to the skies later for what's set to be the most viewed total eclipse even the most viewed total eclipse ever. while the weather might eclipse the excitement, for some it's a different story in canada, though, where clear skies are set to bring near perfect viewing conditions. niagara falls, though, has declared a state of emergency to manage the biggest crowd of visitors ever expected to flock to those popular waterfalls. and here in the uk, some will have a glimpse of a partial eclipse in the west and north, including in belfast, glasgow and liverpool

11:08 am
would be on a normal day. and thatis would be on a normal day. and that is because it's the first time french troops are taking part historic ceremony. part in this historic ceremony. it's been approved personally by his majesty. the king. and the reason being is that it's the 120th anniversary of the signing of the entente cordiale by britain and france, which happenedin britain and france, which happened in 1904. translated into english, it means warm understanding, and it ended decades of disputes between britain and france and paved the way for the two countries really bond making friendship between the two nations, particularly in the two nations, particularly in the run up to world war one and world war ii, and this ceremony changing of the guard here today is part of a wider strategy by both britain and france to really strengthen the relationship between the two nations. we saw his majesty the king camilla undertake king and queen camilla undertake a state visit france last a state visit to france last yean a state visit to france last year. was widely seen as a year. it was widely seen as a success success both here in britain and indeed in france. but of course, the king is undergoing cancer treatment at the moment and so is not here in
11:09 am
person . royal standard not person. royal standard not flying above buckingham palace in his place is the duke and duchess of edinburgh. prince edward and sophie. they are currently, i believe, on the dais. you just see prince edward there and the french ambassador as well. outside on the forecourt of buckingham palace. they are going to be inspecting both the british and the french troops. 32 members of the gendarmerie's guard , republican gendarmerie's guard, republican and 40 guardsmen from f company scots guards, who have been parading together on the forecourt of buckingham palace. of course, prince edward representing his brother, the king there. that's the french ambassador you just see on the dais alongside edward and sophie. helen du chien is her name ambassador to the uk. but of course it is all about strengthening relationships. if you if we do have pictures of paris , we can bring you as well, paris, we can bring you as well, hopefully at the elysee palace or at least we could a little bit earlier. check. looking on social media. if they're not
11:10 am
there on on your screens, it is a similar ceremony happening in france. emmanuel macron, the french president, is there alongside 16 soldiers of a number seven company, coldstream guards. they have been sent to france to take part in a very similar historic ceremony, the first time foreign troops have guarded the french presidential palace. again, it's celebrating the 100th and 20th anniversary of this agreements between britain and france. you can just hear behind me the british national anthem, playing the french national anthem has just played as well. it's marking the end of this changing of the guard ceremony here at buckingham palace . but i'm buckingham palace. but i'm assured the french soldiers here on the forecourt of buckingham palace are not responsible for guarding the king. they are just taking part in this ceremony. that responsibility remains very much troops . much with british troops. >> lovely. thank you. cameron beautiful pictures. i think we're just we're just going to carry on watching the pictures for a bit. you know what the kids are. >> and lovely ceremony,
11:11 am
>> and it's a lovely ceremony, actually, changing actually, of changing the guard. it about 45 minutes. it goes on for about 45 minutes. >> and well, it's meticulously timed actually. there's timed actually. and there's always there for always a huge crowd there for it, in a week it, especially in a week like this, of the kids this, because of course the kids are easter are still on their easter holidays. >> tourists there. >> so lots of tourists there. >> so lots of tourists there. >> see and you see wide >> and you see and you see wide eyed americans just amazed and lapping up every minute of the history because they don't have anything like it back there. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and i know in some ways it seems a bit anachronistic. and i know enjoying it. but know that we're enjoying it. but i can promise you, if my teenagers, they'd be rolling their eyes and going, why does this because is this matter, mom? because it is our this is our our identity. this is our british character. and in time british character. and in a time when it feels like the globe is becoming one big country, i love the fact that we still. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and actually, this thing with france is important too. as robert the defence editor robert fox, the defence editor of the standard, was saying, we need have good relations with need to have good relations with our european yeah. so our european allies. yeah. so sophie wessex and edward and the duke and duchess of edinburgh, and we don't know who that lady is in the navy blue, we presume
11:12 am
she one the french she might be one of the french representatives, i imagine. >> and so they'll >> very stylish and so they'll inspect troops now. inspect the troops right now. >> interesting . brilliant. >> very interesting. brilliant. now we're talking about pensioners had pensioners because they've had a boost in their pension. because. because of the triple lock eight, 8.5% rise. but so quite a few more are being dragged into tax . tax. >> that's right. >> that's right. >> so let's find out why. from our economics editor liam halligan. so it's not just a good news story . this across the good news story. this across the board is it liam. for pensioners. >> quite a lot going on today. today is the start of the new fiscal year, monday the 8th of april. and people receiving the bafic april. and people receiving the basic state pension in this country. it's about 11 million people, quite a lot. >> a lot of voters . >> a lot of voters. >> a lot of voters. >> a lot of voters. >> a lot a lot of a lot of voters. they tend to vote. they're getting a boost today because the triple lock applies the triple lock was a slash the triple lock was a tory slash lib policy brought in in lib dem policy brought in in that coalition between 2010 and 2015. and basically it's there to protect the rate of the basic state pension, which is quite
11:13 am
low by international standards. but the basic state pension each year either goes up by the rate of earnings, the rate of prices, the price index, or the consumer price index, or 2.5, is the greater. 2.5, whichever is the greater. now last april, sorry, last september, which is the benchmark. they use earnings went up by 8.5. that was the biggest of those three numbers. so that's what's going on today. so that's what's going on today. so let's have a quick look at those numbers. here see the those numbers. here we see the bafic those numbers. here we see the basic pension. the basic state pension. so the triple apply. both triple lock does apply. both tories labour have said it tories and labour have said it will continue to apply after the next election. if either of them wins that means a rise of wins power. that means a rise of 8.5% in the basic state pension from today now we have to from april. today now we have to delineate here because the basic state pension split , if you've state pension split, if you've qualified since april 2016, that means your weekly basic state pension is now £221.20. that's up from £203.85 a week. that's if you've qualified since april 2016. if you qualify before april 2016. so you're slightly older, you're £169.50 a week

goes has just gone up from £156.20 a week. so there are the 8.5% increase pieces. so a lot of pensioners will say it's crazy. you know, people in france and germany get more. other people will think quietly. i don't actually need the basic state pension. i'm going to put this towards my skiing fund or my fund or give it to my wine fund, or just give it to my wine fund, or just give it to my grandparents. the my grandparents. this is the problem call unit problem with what we call unit benefits. right across benefits. they're right across the basic state the board. the basic state pension is not means tested, it's just on having it's just reliant on you having paid your national insurance when you've been in or when you've been either in or out of the workforce. >> the triple lock, that will it become a big issue at the general election? labour saying at the moment. but they're not saying they'll commit to it for the duration of a parliament. >> think have. they've >> i think they have. they've got saying they'll got very close to saying they'll commit for the duration of commit to it for the duration of the course, the parliament. of course, rachel petrified of rachel reeves is petrified of saying that is that saying anything that is that determines any money whatsoever. but lot of money on but i'd put a lot of money on labour that it would be a
11:15 am
massive now if they massive u—turn. now if they didn't commit to the triple lock, not least because the tories have easier to commit to a triple while inflation is falling. >> right, that's right, >> that's right, that's right, that's to come bev's >> but to come on to bev's point, and it a really point, and it is a really important point, seen two important point, we've seen two cuts insurance from cuts in national insurance from 12 to 10 and then 10 to 8% in january and indeed this month, respectively. they are employee worker national insurance contributions . that's going to contributions. that's going to give us each the average worker, about £900 extra in tax a year. but in that sentence i just said the average worker, because of course, only workers pay national insurance, pensioners don't pay national insurance , so don't pay national insurance, so pensioners aren't getting a cut in their headline rate of tax . in their headline rate of tax. pensioners do pay income tax on their pensions, believe it or not. and as you rightly say, bev, because the personal allowance is frozen at 12.5 grand, and because that's roughly where the basic state pension is, more and more basic state are now having state pensioners are now having to pay income tax. it seems crazy, admin to give crazy, all this admin to give these money, and then these pensioners money, and then you some it back from
11:16 am
you take some of it back from them in tax. >> well talking taxes liam, >> well talking of taxes liam, thank always. thank you. brilliant as always. labour's angela rayner is in hot water over her capital gains tax. still it's not going away this story is it. should she just come clean and tell us who advised her to do that and what the was? we're to the advice was? we're going to debate britain's debate that next. britain's newsroom

11:28 am
flexible working. and remember it's you know it's an ask you don't you know they no . they have to they can say no. they have to give justification they give justification but they can say always yes , but say no. so always ask yes, but only 26 weeks of being only after 26 weeks of being employed. so now you can ask from which actually from day one, which i actually i'm defend this because i'm going to defend this because i'm going to defend this because i know, if you i think that, you know, if you ask the question on one, ask the question on day one, hey, get answer then ask the question on day one, hey,can get answer then ask the question on day one, hey,can plan answer then ask the question on day one, hey,can plan your nswer then you can plan your life accordingly. bit accordingly. whereas a bit weird, flexible weird, if you want flexible working, because of working, you know, because of particular responsibilities and working, you know, because of partgetar responsibilities and working, you know, because of partgetar rweeksibilities and working, you know, because of partgetar rweeksibilyou've d you get 26 weeks in, you've done so. as long employers so. i mean, as long as employers have sensibly say have the right to sensibly say no, not inappropriate no, if that's not inappropriate for work, then for you to flexibly work, then i seems me. seems okay to me. >> there a more serious >> and there is a more serious point bev was raising about point that bev was raising about the element the couch potato element that people days people are spending days at home. basically home. they are basically sedentary in front of screens, in front computers, in in front of computers, mostly in front i think front of phones. and i think this all contributing to our this is all contributing to our major, major crisis in this country, which is obesity. yeah. >> you get steps in if you >> you get your steps in if you go office, it isn't go to the office, it isn't anything else. >> the you know, >> the crisis, the you know, really pressure the really putting pressure on the nhs depression, nhs is obesity, depression, mental , all the stuff mental illness, all the stuff that around doing that comes around not doing much, more than treating much, the nhs more than treating cancen cancer, smoking. >> which but also obesity >> which is, but also obesity which exacerbates things like it causes cancer and all the other.
11:29 am
of course it does. yeah. >> it's a funny one, isn't it? because in some ways it's what working parents, particularly mothers, campaign mothers, were trying to campaign for was to get a little for decades was to get a little bit understanding . yeah. bit more understanding. yeah. bosses. now that it's, bosses. and now that it's, i have , maybe i'm just have to say, maybe i'm just getting old, but now i don't want working mothers to seem like if you're like a liability. if you're interviewing a working mum, i don't want the employer sitting there thinking , actually, i'm there thinking, actually, i'm not sure i'm going to employ her because she want to work because she might want to work flexibly, but they can still say no. >> i think it's crucial that the employer can determine what works for the employer. i have to question on to think asking the question on day than day one rather than, than than at of week 26 is it at the end of week 26 is it doesn't seem to me to make a huge amount difference huge amount of difference because presumably the answer will be the same, because it depends nature of the depends on the nature of the job, doesn't it? >> yeah, suppose it's just >> yeah, and i suppose it's just about me a and if about well, give me a go. and if i'm not productive in the i'm not being productive in the way to, then it way that you want to, then it isn't to make isn't working. you have to make sure there then sure that there are then safeguards that if safeguards in place that if it doesn't, within doesn't, but also it's within and flexible working is and also flexible working is things start early and also flexible working is thin leave start early and also flexible working is thin leave at start early and also flexible working is thin leave at three art early and also flexible working is thin leave at three ratherly and also flexible working is thin leave at three rather than and leave at three rather than feeling know, feeling bad because, you know, we're when to

11:34 am
now, this has been. yeah, this has been commissioned and it's been done by jl partners. and it shows a few things that are a little bit shocking. so apparently according to this data, 52% of british muslims believe that it should be illegal to show a picture of the prophet muhammad 52. only 28% say it would be undesirable to outlaw homosexuality in this country, and 32% 32% favour shana country, and 32% 32% favour sharia law . sharia law. >> and that is fairly shocking polling. but it does feed into previous polling that we've seen in previous years. and there's a question that arises from it that we'll be asking and we'll be debating show. and be debating on the show. and that's integration that's a question of integration . yeah. because of even . yeah. because of course, even with are with these numbers, there are lots of muslims in the uk who would be shocked by these statistics . there are lots of statistics. there are lots of muslims integrated muslims who are well integrated and consider themselves to and would consider themselves to be signed up to british values . be signed up to british values. but clearly there's a problem with a significant proportion of
11:35 am
british muslims who live in a parallel life, who live in perhaps ghettoised communities, who don't subscribe to the values of free speech and tolerance that are fundamental tolerance that are fundamental to the british character and maybe feminism. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and you'd like to fly on the wall sometimes in the mosques when preachers talking wall sometimes in the mosques wrhim. preachers talking wall sometimes in the mosques wrhim. what's:hers talking wall sometimes in the mosques wrhim. what's what talking wall sometimes in the mosques wrhim. what's what are talking to him. what's what are they saying and what what to him. what's what are they sayi are and what what to him. what's what are they sayi are these and what what to him. what's what are they sayi are these people nhat what to him. what's what are they sayi are these people ?1at what to him. what's what are they sayi are these people ? we nhat to him. what's what are they sayi are these people ? we don't age are these people? we don't know what age. well, that's quite interesting. >> this >> and we'll get into this dunng >> and we'll get into this during the show, but it's actually of the strongest actually some of the strongest opinions , particularly when it opinions, particularly when it comes whether support comes to whether you support what did or whether you what hamas did or whether you believe they did disgusting things . it's actually the things. it's actually the educated young, those who've gone to university. so is the failure of integration. people assume that once you've been in this country for a long time, generations, etc, but actually some of the views are getting harsher, even more harsher, which is even more worrying, ? worrying, right? >> that and much more this afternoon emily and tom. >> that and much more this aftenown emily and tom. >> that and much more this aftenow though,mily and tom. >> that and much more this aftenow though,mily britain's. for now though, with britain's newsroom

11:37 am
11:38 am
11:39 am
break. welcome back. 1139 with britain's newsroom on gb news. with andrew pearson. bev turner. >> so, police scotland have confirmed they've now received hate crime. hate crime complaints members of complaints from members of pubuc complaints from members of public during yesterday's football rangers public during yesterday's footiceltic. rangers and celtic. >> so those tv viewers were apparently offended by some of the football chants. >> they've never been to a football match before this, combined with the number of complaints this complaints since this legislation came into force last week, has now reached 10,000. i think it's making scotland a laughing stock . laughing stock. >> well, it's certainly going to be making the police very busy. well now from well joining us now from benchmark well joining us now from benchm.leonard good thomas leonard ross. good morning . thank you so morning thomas. thank you so much kc. thank you forjoining much kc. thank you for joining us, this is well, first of all, what do you make of this legislation anyway? this idea that you could be reported to the police for stirring up hate just by words that you might use about against particular
11:40 am
characteristics. >> i've never heard as much rubbish talked about any legislation in 40 years in the business. i mean, there's been some gross exaggerations of its effect, and almost all of it was already law in scotland. and actually the new bit simply extended the offence of stirring up racial hatred to a number of other protected categories . and other protected categories. and what's bad about it really is it's so complicated that it's impossible to understand it. and my prediction is that nobody will ever be prosecuted under it. >> isn't this the new section, though? thomas the encouragement? perhaps it's the marketing campaign that's come with it from the scottish government. the idea that you should encouraged to snitch should be encouraged to snitch on people you hear talking on people that you hear talking in , and having these in this way, and having these drop in centres where you can report a alleged crime with of language . language. >> yeah, that's nothing to do with the act. i mean, this is a response to the stephen lawrence inquiry, where it was it was
11:41 am
suggested that police forces in the uk should record hate crime. so this has been going on in scotland for years. it's nothing to do with the new legislation. >> why you think people have >> why do you think people have reacted in this way then, thomas? 10,000 thomas? because 10,000 complaints already is extraordinary and i can't believe all of these people are just doing it to embarrass the snp government. >> well, i they're >> well, i mean, they're incredibly unpopular. the snp government are incredibly unpopular at the moment and widely believed to be focusing on the wrong issues. and they, you know, there's quite a hard core of people who support independence, who seem to be prepared to excuse them more or less anything. and then there's the majority who are looking forward to the time when they're no longer in a position to pass this legislation on. so undoubtedly, amongst that group, it's been weaponized. the legislation has been weaponized, and people who oppose the snp, which seems to be the majority, see this as an opportunity to
11:42 am
show how hopeless they are, essentially. and they you know, are dining out on it. so there's are dining out on it. so there's a lot of that. and in addition that, you know, there's the jk rowling issue, which has led to a lot of people piling on one side or the other. you know, what about the football match yesterday, thomas? >> the football match, celtic and rangers . it's traditional and rangers. it's a traditional grudge often grudge match. there's often sectarian abuse now. there's been hundreds of complaints about . about that. >> well, i mean that was predictable. i don't think that actually reading between the lines, i don't think there has been anywhere near as many as people were predicting, be people were predicting, to be honest. it may be because of honest. and it may be because of the way the match went. you know, scored very, very know, celtic scored very, very early, which dampened the spirits a wee bit. spirits of the crowd. a wee bit. and, you know, for 45 minutes, the rangers team didn't turn up. so i mean, it might be different when there's a proper match, when there's a proper match, when both sides are celtic when both sides are no celtic fans there. yesterday also, it was all rangers fans. so maybe the test will be next season when the fans are all in the
11:43 am
stadium together. >> it took three years to debate this legislation, didn't it? thomas it started in 2021. obviously there might have been some disruption, maybe in that year because of pandemic restrictions etc, but it clearly is a serious piece of legislation in terms of the snp because they , they debated for because they, they debated for a very long time about the phraseology of it, it's very long time about the phraseology of it , it's actually phraseology of it, it's actually stranger than you say . the stranger than you say. the debate was finished by 2021. the legislation was really complete in 2021, and it then took them three years to bring it in. and i think the delay was the police were saying, well, we don't really understand this. there's going to have to be training and education the police education within the police force . and they were encouraged force. and they were encouraged to date in which to push back the date in which the act came into force. but i'm not sure with any further forward. i mean, the police have now been inundated with complaints , police are complaints, police are complaining they weren't complaining that they weren't properly trained. they weren't properly trained. they weren't properly ready for it. so
11:44 am
there's no doubt the whole thing actually appears that a complete mess. but for the lawyers, i'm sure it only will be the lawyers who actually sit down and read the legislation . it's not as big the legislation. it's not as big a change to the existing law as people are making out. >> okay. all right. well, that's reassuring way . thomas reassuring in a way. thomas leonard ross kc there from benchmark scotland for benchmark advocates scotland for the sheer volume of complaints , the sheer volume of complaints, though, it's going to overwhelm the police. >> yeah. and if you're a thug and a crook scotland, and a crook in scotland, terrific. yeah. because the police are going to be completely distracted because this the government's this is the snp government's flagship mess, isn't flagship legislation mess, isn't it? and it is. it is a mess. and they should should have thought twice. i mean, from what tom was just saying, need it just saying, he didn't need it anyway. listen, still to come >> well listen, still to come this this this morning, there's this manhunt the looking this morning, there's this ma police the looking this morning, there's this mapolice are the looking this morning, there's this mapolice are looking'he looking this morning, there's this mapolice are looking for looking this morning, there's this ma police are looking for 25�*king for police are looking for 25 year habiba masoom . he is year old habiba masoom. he is alleged have stabbed a woman alleged to have stabbed a woman to death in front of her baby in bradford. we're going to be heanng bradford. we're going to be hearing from the local shopkeeper who was at that scene
