6:02 am
british prime minister ever, 49 days for liz truss, but her book ten days to save the west comes out today telling that story well, in her book, truss claims she was the only conservative in the room as she explores her time in government from foreign secretary to briefly, prime minister. >> well , last minister. >> well, last night she spoke with nigel farage. >> here's what she had to say. >> here's what she had to say. >> i was the only conservative in the room for many years, and it's not working in the west is weak. we're seeing authoritarian regimes on the on the rise and what we're also seeing is in our own societies, our very values being undermined. you know, the things we believe in our nation, the family, individual freedom, all of those core values are being undermined. and that is what my book is about. i hate being told what to do, and i hate the government telling other people what to do. and having spent ten years in the government, i can tell you it genuinely doesn't know best
6:03 am
we've a whitehall that's we've had a whitehall that's been shaped by in europe. been shaped by being in europe. you essentially you know, essentially supplicants and it's supplicants to europe and it's almost like, what is that syndrome when you become a hostage and you start to love your stockholm syndrome, it's almost like that. know, almost like that. you know, officials are constantly looking to brussels for validation , and to brussels for validation, and all of that needed to change. >> just part of what she had to say. she's got more to say tonight on gb news. let's go to our political correspondent, olivia utley. olivia, for your take on this . take on this. >> well, it's very interesting what liz truss was saying last night. we often hear politicians in westminster , particularly in westminster, particularly conservative politicians, complain about what they call the blob, the sort of civil servants and technocrats who they believe are actually running britain. liz truss almost of takes that a step almost sort of takes that a step further. she suggests that politicians have almost no politicians now have almost no power at all. and i suppose that explains for her the reasons why her premiership wasn't a huge
6:04 am
success. she suggests that britain should get out of the echr. well, that's something that quite a lot of conservative mps agree with. but she also thinks we should scrap the office for budget responsibility and the supreme court as well. she believes that these sort of technocratic instincts , technocratic instincts, musicians, these non—government non non—political institutions are actually what's running the country. and i expect there will be quite a lot of sympathy for that position within the conservative party. liz truss knows that she's trying to get some support on site . lots of some support on site. lots of people in the conservative party essentially think that whoever the next prime minister is, his or her hands will be tied because of these institutions, which new labour gave so much power to. it'll be really interesting to see if rishi sunak responds to any of this, because some of the problems that rishi that liz truss is talking about, he is certainly facing to the echr is one of the main reasons why his rwanda legislation isn't yet off the
6:05 am
ground. will he respond .7 will he ground. will he respond? will he hit back? or will he actually agree with some of what she says and whether or not he sees what she's saying as undermining him? >> i mean, he laughed, didn't he, when she was talking at the cpac convention in the united states britain being part states about britain being part of deep state. i mean, she'd of the deep state. i mean, she'd been prime ministerjust over been prime minister just over a year he sort of year ago, and he was sort of laughing that off. but interesting you mention rwanda there. suella braverman also lining up to criticise the prime minister, saying that he lacks the political will to pull out of the echr how will he feel about that? do you think ? about that? do you think? >> i think rishi sunak is going to find that very difficult because there are now plenty of very senior conservative politicians who are openly telling journalists that they would like to see britain get out of the echr. i think that it is not impossible that rishi sunak actually puts getting out of the echr on the conservative manifesto, depending on what happens with this rwanda legislation, it's going through the final hurdles in the commons
6:06 am
this week. we are very much expect it to pass, but after that there will be legal challenges. and if rishi sunak fails in his mission to get flights off the ground by the spnng flights off the ground by the spring because of any legal challenges to that bill, then he might start moving towards the leaving the echr position. 50% of conservative voters from the 2019 election would like to see britain leave the echr. >> right, olivia? what is , liz >> right, olivia? what is, liz truss game with all of this? with this book and this series of interviews that she's doing? does she intend to stand at the next election, for instance? is she positioning herself for a comeback ? comeback? >> well, my instinct is that what she's probably positioning herself for is a sort of career overseas in the us. assuming that donald trump becomes president. i mean, that is a big assumption. but if donald trump does become president, then liz truss is sort of worldview. liz
6:07 am
truss is sort of worldview. liz truss is sort of worldview. liz truss is fear of the of the deep state. this idea that sort of technocrats are running the world need to world and politicians need to take back control and take back, take back control and take back, take back, take back decisions for their nation. those those ideas would all echo pretty well with a donald trump presidency back here in the uk. i would suggest at the moment at least, there isn't much of an appetite for a liz truss comeback. there will be lots of politicians who very much agree with what she has to say, that the kind of blob or the deep state, as she puts it, is running the country. but liz truss is a sort of foreman for those ideas would probably go down like a bit of a lead balloon in parliament. >> okay, olivia, thank you very much indeed, as i said, and just to reiterate more from liz truss with farage again tonight with nigel farage again tonight on his show, 7 pm. here on gb news. we want to know what you think about what liz truss is having to say, whether you agree or disagree and how you see her future. 40 menedez 4044 days
6:08 am
after she became prime minister, she resigned 49 days in office. >> do you hold a responsible for the collapse of the economy? can you forgive her for the impact that had on mortgages? would you welcome a comeback? perhaps you would like to see her lined up as leader of the conservatives after the next election. who knows what might listening to a radio phone in and a few people from her constituency, which i think was in suffolk, north south norfolk, i don't know. yes, something like that. >> wherever it is. and anyway, apparently they don't see a lot of her. they don't think that she represented the constituency very she's been there she represented the constituency verquite she's been there she represented the constituency verquite long1e's been there she represented the constituency verquite long1e's b
6:09 am
response. speaking on patrick christys program last night, former armed forces minister james heappey warned israel to show restraint what could have been a sort of pearl harbour type moment was 99% repelled and they and as a consequence, gives israel the opportunity to not respond and escalate . respond and escalate. >> now, israel may still choose to do so. i think the uk should be absolutely clear in our resolve to continue knew to be willing to defend israel from these attacks. always our priority must be to try and support them in defensive action. >> less so in offensive action. >> less so in offensive action. >> yeah. look, i think i think your question was, should we be making a commitment to go with the israelis? i mean, i don't think we should . think we should. >> let's get the thoughts >> well, let's get the thoughts of us political analyst, of the us political analyst, eric morning to you, eric hamm. good morning to you, eric. eric hamm. good morning to you, ehc. you eric hamm. good morning to you, eric. you for joining eric hamm. good morning to you, eric. you forjoining us. eric. thank you for joining us. lots tension here in london. lots of tension here in london. probably a very late night for the foreign office. wondering
6:10 am
what israel's next moves are going to be. do you think that israel takes notice what israel takes any notice of what president says anymore ? president biden says anymore? >> i do not, and i think what we just heard from that guest there, i think that's the thinking of a lot of people within the biden administration, as well as many americans. i think people are willing to stand with israel if israel is in fact, attacked. but i think what we're seeing now is israel and president biden has made clear this was a win for israel, given that this attack by iran did very little inside of israel. and now that the united states has made clear, if israel decides to go on the offensive, the united states will not will not be a part of that. nevertheless, what we're seeing in the united states is congress is feverishly moving to try to move aid both to ukraine and israel. as a result of this attack. and still, the biden administration is continuing to try to put pressure on benjamin netanyahu not only to de—escalate tensions, but also
6:11 am
to not move forward with a military offensive in rafah. all of those attempts at pressuring cajoling seem to be falling on deaf ears right now . deaf ears right now. >> and what about the row that's being had over here about whether or not the irgc, the islamic revolutionary guard corps, should be prescribed a terrorist organisation? it's dividing opinion here. i don't know if the same row is being had over the pond, but in this country, at least the foreign secretary, the prime minister saying, look, we're one of the few that has an few countries that has an embassy iran. i don't think embassy in iran. i don't think the states one. it's an the states has one. it's an important back channel. that important back channel. and that would we did would break down if we did prescribe as terrorists. is prescribe them as terrorists. is that a view you share ? that a view that you share? >> no, i don't think that's something that we would see from the administration washington the administration in washington or many lawmakers in or even from many lawmakers in washington, that this should actually take place. but i do think what what is happening is the united states has had an enormous amount of back channel engagement with iran. and so i
6:12 am
think the united states will use every opportunity to do that. and i think if there is this designation , that would make it designation, that would make it very difficult and could potentially cut off one of those key back channels that the united states sees as so vital, eric, you believe there could be a silver lining in all of this? so that would affect, ukraine and, as well as what's going on in the middle east. >> oh, absolutely. in fact, we know that, the $60 billion aid package for ukraine has been held up for quite some time now. and after this attack, we now see speaker mike johnson, as is now saying that he will bring both of these aid packages , aid both of these aid packages, aid for israel and aid for ukraine to the floor. this week. now, we know the biden administration, as well as president zelenskyy, has been pushing for these aid packages , and now it looks like packages, and now it looks like it might happen. now, of course, the biden administration, we've heard from admiral admiral kirby saying that they do not want
6:13 am
separate standalone packages , separate standalone packages, but it looks like that might be what happens here. and it's all very complex, given what we're seeing play out, because while there is ongoing tensions that are very real in the united states, i'm sorry, in the middle east, there are still very thorny domestic political issues that the biden administration is attempting to navigate here in washington. >> okay, eric, we'll leave it there. thank you very much indeed, eric hamm is an american political analyst speaking to us live there from washington in the time 6:30 and 45 minutes time, a 48 hour strike will begin by consultants and specialist doctors in wales. >> this is a dispute over pay christmas day covers to be provided during the walkout by the bma cymru wales. the unions rejected a subinflationary pay offer from the welsh government offer from the welsh government of 5. >> a judge has ordered prince harry to pay 90% of home office legal costs after losing a case
6:14 am
over the home office, cutting his personal security. the duke of sussex had argued the court should reduce the amount he was required to pay by more than half . half. >> mps today will debate some of the strictest tobacco laws , as the strictest tobacco laws, as the strictest tobacco laws, as the prime minister plans to ban generation alpha . that's those generation alpha. that's those born after 2009 from smoking rishi sunak . facing the prospect rishi sunak. facing the prospect of another tory rebellion, though, and he may need to rely on labour votes to secure the passage of one of his key policies . policies. >> hannah gutierrez—reed, the armourer for the film rust, which saw cinematographer halyna hutchins shot and killed by a loaded gun given to the actor alec baldwin, has been sentenced to 18 months in prison. the set weapons handler was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in a new mexico court. baldwin will also face a manslaughter trial in july . the national trust has
6:15 am
in july. the national trust has come under fire from locals in the village of sudbury that's in derbyshire, after they were told sports fields, community sports fields were being taken back for the trust to meet eco targets. >> yeah, that it will be evicting the football club that uses it. our reporterjack uses it. our reporter jack carson has the story in the quaint derbyshire village of sudbury. >> there's a storm brewing between the local football club and the national trust. this grass field might seem unremarkable, but for hundreds of years it's been part of the sudbury hall estate, playing host to the village football and cricket matches. now the national trust are planning to put an end to that tradition in the name of biodiversity, with plans for trees and plants where the football club play. some worry it breaks a memorandum of wishes from the late lord vernon , whose family have lived here since 1660. manager of sudbury fc tom crutchley, says he's upset at the decision and naturally disappointed, a lot
6:16 am
we've been here. this is our ninth year, you know, we've put a lot of effort into into here to keep playing, to maintain it, i'm from the village originally, so personally it was. yeah, very. it was very upsetting. not just for our team, but for future generations , but the future generations, but the amount of land they have here, over 20 acres, i believe there's surely enough room for that. and for amount times that we for the amount of times that we play, we play between 10 play, because we play between 10 to home a under to 15 home games a year, under 2% time we're here. 2% of the time that we're here. so not really in the way so we're not really in the way as much national trust want as much the national trust want to local communities. to support local communities. and build strong relations, and by this, letting us by doing this, not letting us play by doing this, not letting us play here probably doesn't help that changes have that the proposed changes have upset who worry. upset local people who worry. >> in the area might >> businesses in the area might also the impact losing also feel the impact of losing it. community space, mp for it. as a community space, mp for derbyshire dales, sarah dines, says the national trust aren't respecting the history of the site. >> i feel they're trampling over the wishes of historic owners who gave up this wonderful site for the nation for and over 100 years people have played
6:17 am
football and cricket here. it's incredibly sad, incredibly sad, andifs incredibly sad, incredibly sad, and it's against the wishes of a lot of people locally who've written to me from the village and the i know it's a tricky issue maintaining this sort of ground, but the government's given a lot of money for grassroots sport, and there would be funds available keep would be funds available to keep it is. it as it is. >> it's not just plans for the sports field that have upset the member parliament. sudbury member of parliament. sudbury hall the of hall lives under the branding of the children's country house, a decision says decision which diane says is disrespectful to the history of the estate. >> i mean, this is fake. to make it into a children's theme park. it's almost reimagining. it into a children's theme park. it's almost reimagining . and it's almost a reimagining. and in fact, that's the very words it says on their website. the house is reopened. it's been reimagined. i don't want our heritage to be reimagined. i think. i think the national trust has been it's been captured by people who have different ideas than most people in this country. >> in response to the concerns raised about plans for the raised about the plans for the sports field, a national trust spokesperson said although the national will not be able national trust will not be able to continue running the land as
6:18 am
a space for hire on a commercial basis, the local community will continue to be able to enjoy it free of charge for family leisure time games and activities as picnicking, activities such as picnicking, dog walking and village celebrations. we are also looking at plans to restore the land back to a grade two listed landscape, which will include grassland and the planting of new trees that will blend the area with the surrounding historic parkland . whilst the historic parkland. whilst the pubuc historic parkland. whilst the public will still be able to roam these historic grounds , the roam these historic grounds, the village like a legacy is village feels like a legacy is being snatched jack carson being snatched away. jack carson gb news sudbury well, being snatched away. jack carson gb news sudbury well , the thing gb news sudbury well, the thing is, the public can roam those legendary grounds is the way it exists. >> there doesn't seem to be any need at all to throw out a football team and stop them using that pitch, liz truss last night, of course, she was complaining a lot about how the country has been held ransom to, echo. what do they called echo? covid diversity projects and whatever. and how she believes
6:19 am
it's bankrupting the country , it's bankrupting the country, that our devotion to getting things , reformed or right from things, reformed or right from an echo. what is it? not eco eco eco friendly way . whatever it eco friendly way. whatever it is, anyway, i hate being treated like a moron. there's a green pitch there. bumblebees on that and flies and all sorts of things going on there. we can walk across it. we can walk our dogs. we can do this. then you get the national trust coming along and they destroy. and what they are in sudbury is they are doing in sudbury is destroying community life. that's my view. gb news. common reviewers say have your say this morning and we will. we're talking about national trust land seizure. why? >> up next, forget sleepy biden. it was a sleepy donald as he appeared in court yesterday and became the first us president to face a criminal trial. >> now, according to reporters in the room , donald trump in the room, donald trump appeared to doze off. now, i
6:20 am
have to say, looking at his pictures yesterday, i do think the man and some of them are on the man and some of them are on the front page of the papers today. he looked really fatigued. did look tired. fatigued. he did look tired. he looked you know. looked stressed, he's. you know. so anyway, is it any surprise that he may have nodded off? well, the former president has been charged with falsifying business records ahead of the 2016 election to cover up a £130,000 payment to the porn star stormy daniels. >> yeah, he is denying the allegations in this is political persecution. >> this is a persecution like never before. nobody's ever seen anything like it. and again, it's a case that should have never been brought. it's an assault on america . assault on america. >> well, joining us now is 2020 republican presidential candidate and former congressman joe walsh. very good morning to you. it's going to be a bit of a frustrating week for all of us who want to see this trial get underway. a lot of procedure, a lot of issues trying to find
6:21 am
jurors that won't sort of rule themselves out as having an opinion donald perhaps opinion on donald trump. perhaps all procedure was just too all that procedure was just too bonng all that procedure was just too boring donald yesterday. boring for the donald yesterday. >> that ? right. >> yeah, how about that? right. all this talk about joe biden being so damn old and joe biden can't stay awake, we forget that trump's an old guy, too. and it sounds like he might have fallen asleep in court. look, donald trump did all he could do to stop this trial from happening . stop this trial from happening. it's happening. and so now he's going to do all he can do, he and his team to delay and delay and his team to delay and delay and delay the trial from really ever taking place . so this could ever taking place. so this could go on for a while. >> you're not a fan, joe, why ? >> you're not a fan, joe, why? >> you're not a fan, joe, why? >> i think he's a direct threat to our democracy. we forget this guy keeps making history , he's guy keeps making history, he's in that courtroom, as you said, the first american president even the first american president ever. be on trial criminally, he was the first american president
6:22 am
who lost an election, refused to participate in the peaceful transfer of power. and then he tried to overthrow that election. so, yeah, i consider that pretty damn dangerous . that pretty damn dangerous. >> and yet he's hugely popular, and it is a democracy , and and it is a democracy, and popularity is what he needs to get back into the white house. how much damage do you think these criminal trials , as you these criminal trials, as you say, this is a first now because he's had so many civil cases and we're used to seeing him in court and we're used to mug shots all the rest of it. but this is the first of, i think, four criminal trials long drawn out lots of out cross examination, lots of witnesses. think this witnesses. do you think this could be the final straw for donald trump, you think it donald trump, or do you think it will simply serve to strengthen his ? his base? >> this won't be the >> no. yeah. this won't be the final straw at all. and by the way, this is probably the only trial we'll see before the election. look, if the election were held tomorrow, donald trump would beat joe biden. i want everybody to know that trump's popular. i think he's beating
6:23 am
biden right now. and this trial again, donald trump's whole thing is i'm the victim. i'm the victim. i'm the victim. this plays right into it. and he's going to continue to play that up. >> you know, joe, if he did fall asleep yesterday i'm just looking at him and some of the pictures that that we saw, he did look fatigued yesterday . did look fatigued yesterday. normally he doesn't seem to be too down by the amount of court cases and court appearances that he that he seems to make, but this one could be different because he could end up in jail, after this one, he could . after this one, he could. >> but i don't think that most legal experts don't think that's going to happen, he could end up being convicted, on this and we'll know. i mean, obviously, unless he can stop this trial, we'll have this verdict before the election , and. and he may be the election, and. and he may be convicted for falsifying
6:24 am
business records, but i don't think that hurts him politically and not just with his base . and and not just with his base. and by the way, joe biden's old and he's got a lot of issues , too. he's got a lot of issues, too. this election is going to be really close. it's crazy. but this is where america is. >> it astounds me that you say that the this other criminal trial that he's facing in relation to election racketeering might happen after another election. how can somebody stand for election when accused of election racketeering and potentially win the presidency , and then later be presidency, and then later be convicted of it? where does that leave america ? what message is leave america? what message is that sending to the world and you know, and what does it mean? you know, for the republican party because you're a former republican or you still are a republican? i mean , there are republican? i mean, there are lots that we speak to them on this program. we had amy tarkanian yesterday, lots of disenfranchised and disenfranchised republicans. and yet are so, so yet this base that are so, so keen him . keen on him. >> remember when trump said,
6:25 am
what, six, seven years ago, eight years ago, i could shoot somebody in the middle of manhattan and i'd still be popular and fine . i could get popular and fine. i could get elected. that's where my former party is. look, the republican party is a cult. he is the cult leader. he can do no wrong . i leader. he can do no wrong. i know a lot of people don't understand that. i've never seen that before in our history. but that's where we are . the world that's where we are. the world should be frightened. america is pretty effed up right now. our politics is broken . i mean, look politics is broken. i mean, look at this. donald trump tried to overthrow an election, and he's he's the nominee for president three and a half years later. if that doesn't tell you there's something wrong with our politics here in america , man, politics here in america, man, i don't know what will. >> well, it may depend on who falls asleep first. thank you , falls asleep first. thank you, joe. thanks very much indeed. that was joe walsh there. really appreciate it, joe, he ju himself was a presidential
6:26 am
candidate, former congressman as well. yeah. >> lots of views coming in on this. trump may be flawed, but if i was an american, i'd vote for him. it's better than the commies that are running what is becoming a fascist state. other people saying trump, trump is so popular he'll win the presidency . is interesting. . and this one is interesting. john if donald trump was john andrews if donald trump was in power the 7th in power october the 7th wouldn't happened. ukraine wouldn't have happened. ukraine wouldn't have happened. the rockets cargo rockets being fired at cargo ships have happened. ships wouldn't have happened. i still believe covid was put there to get rid of him by the chinese because of all the tariffs he made them start paying. so there we go. lots of people. keen to see him return, and he probably will. >> okay. >> okay. >> just finally talking to joe walsh there. the biggest travel agentin walsh there. the biggest travel agent in ireland was called. >> oh, really? >> oh, really? >> joe walsh tours. >> joe walsh tours. >> so maybe he's got irish heritage. maybe he has walsh service in the 1970s, 80s i don't think joe walsh exists anymore. >> oh my goodness me. >> oh my goodness me. >> the weather yesterday eamonn. i mean, we've been talking all morning about how gorgeous the

6:33 am
yeah. but the interesting thing there there was a bit of there was there was a bit of argy bargy when the penalty was taken. so they got a penalty and it it's always going to be it was it's always going to be cole palmer that takes the penalty because he's the obviously the penalty taker. so anyway it was noni madueke picks up the ball because he was the one that was kicked over in the in the box. he thought to get the penalty. although it actually to palmer. he actually happened to palmer. he picks up the ball, wants to take it like it's it and it's like well no, it's palmer's penalty. takes the palmer's penalty. he takes the penalty, over to take penalty, he's gone over to take it and he's all this, you know, a bit chuckle brothers, you know me anyway then and me to youtube. anyway then and there's them are there's four of them that are only involved an argument. only involved in an argument. who's to take the penalty. who's going to take the penalty. cole takes it, puts cole palmer then takes it, puts it the spot, scores. but then it on the spot, scores. but then mauricio pochettino saying afterwards good not afterwards, not good enough. not happy that. if there's any happy with that. if there's any arguments of arguments like that, none of them but it was, it them will play. but it was, it was pretty ridiculous. but a great result. six nil. can't argue against that . everton, argue against that. everton, really and also really not great. and also they're going to be appealing or they're going to be appealing or they have appealed about this latest two point penalty which
6:34 am
then could affect them at the end the season if things, you end of the season if things, you know, wobbly, but the know, stay wobbly, but the premier league has promised that it will be resolved by the last game of the season. so we will know because it may affect them, might put them down. >> meanwhile, a bit of >> meanwhile, there's a bit of speculation the back the speculation in the back of the papers, garnacho papers, alexandro garnacho at manchester united. he was substituted against brentford at half time. substituted against brentford at halsocial media, on saturday. >> social media, on saturday. what's the story there? >> well, he was substituted . >> well, he was substituted. he's a good player but he was taken off at half time and made a big statement, though to bring a big statement, though to bring a player off at half time always is , isn't it? and it's always is, isn't it? and it's always sounds like it's a manager going i'm in charge. and we know what's with ten hag what's happened with ten hag before jadon sancho. so before with jadon sancho. so anyway, social media, he saw a post on social media garnacho liked it, basically criticising erik ten hag , liked it, basically criticising erik ten hag, saying about he was being thrown under the bus. so he's like the tweets and it's been seen that he's liked it. so now he's been hauled over the coals. that old chestnut. exactly. that old one. gotta be

6:38 am
at
6:39 am
6:40 am
news. well, we're joined now by the parliamentary under—secretary of state and minister for victims and safeguarding. laura farris. welcome to the program. good morning to you. i want to start by talking to you about our top story this morning. this is an interview that liz truss has given to nigel farage here on the she's made a number the channel. she's made a number of claims how she would of claims about how she would like the west over the like to save the west over the next ten years, but she laments, really, the blob , i suppose, is really, the blob, i suppose, is what a lot of politicians call it. the deep state that she says, dramatically and devastatingly brought down her premiership. she says that politicians have almost no power anymore, including organisations like the supreme court being undemocratic. do you agree ? undemocratic. do you agree? >> i've got to say, i don't agree. actually, i think that, i think we have a healthy
6:41 am
democracy, a pluralistic democracy, a pluralistic democracy , and i think that democracy, and i think that institutions like the supreme court, are vital, actually. and it's always been the case that we've had a judiciary, which are a judiciary, is admired the world over . world over. >> okay. well, i mean, she also takes aim at the echr. that's something that the prime minister does agree with her on. he's also saying that they've got overreach on a number of issues that they've been talking about recently. but suella braverman has joined liz truss in undermining the prime minister today, saying he actually political actually lacks the political will out . it's all will to pull out. it's all rhetoric. is she on to something? there >> well, look, i'm not going to comment too much on what other politicians are saying. i can't answer for them. and you'd need to get some senior members of your own party. i okay, i mean that that might be right, but i'll just say this, i, i don't i don't agree with that. i think some of the focus on the european court of human rights has been in relation to the rwanda scheme. i think you will know that we're getting the
6:42 am
legislation through the house and to have it on the and we hope to have it on the statute books by the end of this week. but really, you know, the issues with, with that are come really substantially from things like the refugee convention rather than the european convention human rights. convention on human rights. the prime that he's prime minister said that he's confident that legislation confident that that legislation complies with all our international . but international obligations. but international obligations. but in extremis, if it doesn't, he will not allow a foreign court to block planes from taking off. and i think he's been crystal clear on that. >> laura, there's going to be an announcement, a governmental announcement, a governmental announcement deepfake porn announcement about deepfake porn and sexual images, today , what and sexual images, today, what are you proposing to do about those? and why does this worry you so much ? you so much? >> well, what what we're doing. and to the best of my knowledge, i think we are one of the first governments in the world to do this is we're creating a criminal offence of anyone who creates a sexually explicit deepfake image, even if they do so privately, for their own.
6:43 am
either you know, sexual gratification, it will become a criminal offence . and we've been criminal offence. and we've been listening really carefully to campaigners and also to people who work in tech. and we know that al is probably the most rapidly evolving potential harm actually in this area. and we know that it overwhelmingly affects women, women and very young women, girls and so we have taken the decision to create a crime of making a deepfake image for sexual gratification without a person's consent , saying apparently a consent, saying apparently a number of high profile people have already fallen victim to these deep fake porn . these deep fake porn. >> i make sort of mash ups if you like taylor swift among them, and the prominent american politician alexandra ocasio—cortez. and she talked about the personal trauma of seeing herself in these horrendous situations that have been imagined by ai in the car with her children as she learned of this news. so politicians
6:44 am
like yourself and celebrities also falling victim to this ? also falling victim to this? >> well, you're right actually, and it is something that i know and it is something that i know a number of politicians in westminster from all parties have , been made aware that have, been made aware that they've been victims of this. but just want to say one but i just want to say one thing. we're not just doing it because affected because it's affected celebrities. it celebrities. we know that it affects normal people, too. and one the analogies, actually, one of the analogies, actually, that been is that that we've been drawing is that it is it is an offence in this country to create an explosive device, even if you're doing so privately in your kitchen. but we do it because if it falls into the wrong hands or if motive changes, it could cause catastrophic harm and in a psychological sense, create putting a grossly offensive, explicit video where you're using a real person's, you know, face and you're superimposing that and you're making it look incredibly realistic can cause actually catastrophic psychological harm. and we have heard, you know, from what we know about well—known women, but
6:45 am
we also know there are lots of ordinary women who have become victims of this. and we're we're trying nip this in the bud, trying to nip this in the bud, deal it before it becomes deal with it before it becomes a more serious problem. and we had this legislative opportunity and we to be on front we wanted to be on the front foot with this and actually future our laws. future proof. our laws. >> and what would the penalty for breaching law be? for breaching that law be? >> so the penalty forjust >> so the penalty for just creating is an unlimited fine in a criminal record. if you go on to share, you can get up to two years in prison and you end up on the sex offenders register and eamonn. i just want to say one thing on that. you might think quite low, but one think that's quite low, but one of the things that we had to deal was, fact, a very deal with was, in fact, a very helpful piece of work by the law commission actually advised helpful piece of work by the law commiscreating actually advised helpful piece of work by the law commiscreating makingy advised helpful piece of work by the law commiscreating making aadvised helpful piece of work by the law commiscreating making a sort.ed helpful piece of work by the law co creatingating making a sort.ed helpful piece of work by the law co creating this| making a sort.ed helpful piece of work by the law co creating this stuff. ng a sort.ed helpful piece of work by the law co creating this stuff. an a sort.ed of creating this stuff. an offence because they said, look, you capture teenage boys , you could capture teenage boys, you could capture teenage boys, you could capture teenage boys, you could over criminalise sort of idiotic older children who are doing this kind of thing. and we had to think, really carefully about that and about striking right balance. but
6:46 am
striking the right balance. but ultimately we decided that it was crime . we thought it did was a crime. we thought it did cross a threshold. we thought it was inherently misogynistic gateway conduct. yes, if a gateway conduct. so yes, if a teenage boy does this, they are committing a criminal offence. but no , they won't end up in but no, they won't end up in prison. and if they just create, they won't go on to the sex offenders register. but as i say, it escalates from there . say, it escalates from there. >> okay, just before we let you 90, >> okay, just before we let you go, i just want to ask you about the iran—israel situation. a moment ago, i was hinting about the iran—israel situation. a mordivisions i was hinting about the iran—israel situation. a mordivisions within hinting about the iran—israel situation. a mordivisions within your1g about the iran—israel situation. a mordivisions within your partyyut the divisions within your party with undermining comments the divisions within your party with liz undermining comments the divisions within your party with liz trussrmining comments the divisions within your party with liz trussrminisuellarments from liz truss and suella braverman. also braverman. but there are also divisions on to deal with divisions on how to deal with this particular issue, aren't there? mean, labour been there? i mean, labour has been calling islamic calling for the islamic revolutionary guard to be revolutionary guard corps to be proscribed as a terrorist organisation for year. organisation for over a year. but now members of your own party, duncan smith and party, iain duncan smith and indeed braverman, also indeed suella braverman, also calling for that. but they're at odds the prime minister and odds with the prime minister and with the secretary. why with the foreign secretary. why shouldn't would we in shouldn't we? and would we be in a we did ? a better position if we did? >> well, look, nobody is suggesting that the iranian
6:47 am
revolutionary guard is anything other than a problematic and difficult organisation , one, we difficult organisation, one, we already sanctioned them. >> we already have restricted placed very serious restrictions on them . on the issue of on them. on the issue of proscribing them is one that david cameron addressed yesterday. and he said, look, one of the things that we still value is the fact that we have a direct route to tehran. we have an embassy there, we have diplomatic channels. we can pick up phone have up the phone and have conversations, even with governments. yes, have governments. yes, that we have very significant challenge with those conversations are difficult, actually there is difficult, but actually there is a value to having a direct line of communication. so that was the reason he gave. and i think it's compelling in the circumstances. just because we have hostile relations with a country doesn't mean we necessarily want to cut everything off. and, you know, one of the things the prime minister actually has said is that we keep this under constant review. so it's not a final decision. it's something that's always being carefully
6:48 am
considered. >> okay, minister , we'll leave >> okay, minister, we'll leave it there. thank you very much indeed. laura farris , we've got indeed. laura farris, we've got ryan, mark parsons, and we've got nichi hodgson , going through got nichi hodgson, going through stories that will make the news today. and this deepfake story will be making the news later on today. nikki, what do you think? >> i think it's impossible to implement. i really, really worry about how naive the government is being at the minute because you know, a few weeks had the weeks ago we had the announcement cyber announcement about the cyber flashing on flashing new law, which was on the same we will find the the same basis. we will find the person prosecute person and we will prosecute them. cannot find people on them. you cannot find people on them. you cannot find people on the that create images the internet that create images under pseudonyms on computers that use the blockchain that are encrypted. know, i've got i encrypted. you know, i've got i just think they're so naive. i don't know how if somebody sends you an image and it's from an anonymous account, are the police then going to try and find out who owns that anonymous account? it will be absolutely impossible. worry impossible. and what i worry about, know, is about, you know, the genie is out was a long out of the bottle. it was a long time ago. ten years ago. the government should cared government should have cared about always so about this. they're always so behind in terms behind the curve in terms of where tech.
6:49 am
>> was saying we're ahead of >> she was saying we're ahead of the the world. the rest of the world. >> that's not it's not good enough because, you know, porn created this 15 years ago. created this ten, 15 years ago. you its its own you know, for its for its own pleasure. know what i think pleasure. you know what i think it's saying that. >> oh, well, it might have been created by 14 year old. created by a 14 year old. >> that's not good enough ehheni >> that's not good enough either. i agree, you can't. i'm sorry. but, you know, there are sorry. but, you know, there are so sexual violence so much sexual violence committed teenage right? >> and they to right? >> and they have to learn at some stage, business of some stage, this business of protecting got to protecting them. they've got to be they're 8 or 9 or be told when they're 8 or 9 or 10 or 11 or whatever it happens to be. i mean, it's like saying, well, shot her, but was well, he shot her, but he was only seven, so, i mean, he couldn't mean to murder her. >> it's m" >> it's not good enough that age, is so age, that age group is so sensitive. do so much sensitive. they can do so much harm and girls. and i harm to women and girls. and i mean, letting mean, think just letting them off point. and that off is not the point. and that sends the wrong message to me as well. >> okay. >> okay. >> other stories making >> okay. >> news other stories making >> okay. >> news this er stories making >> okay. >> news this morning. making >> okay. >> news this morning. ryan,|g the news this morning. ryan, where you fancy where should we go? do you fancy talking don't talking about smoking? i don't suppose that age suppose you fit into that age bracket. no. you're not. >> alpha. >> not quite alpha. >> not quite alpha. >> i'm generation alpha, >> i'm not generation alpha, which 2009. i'm which is born after 2009. i'm generation born generation z or z, i was born in 2000. government's 2000. but yes, the government's looking those of looking to ban those of generation from buying
6:50 am
generation alpha from buying cigarettes and vapes. now, i think that's a great move. i think that's a great move. i think there's not enough research gone into vapes. i mean, at the moment they're saying there's about 2000 dangerous toxins in vapes that can cause, illnesses like, bronchitis , some popcorn lungs. bronchitis, some popcorn lungs. and there's so much more research needs to go into finding , the harmful results of, finding, the harmful results of, smoking vapes and even with cigarettes. i mean, we know the diseases that can cause 7000 toxins can be found in cigarettes. i think it's a great thing that this bill comes into legislation. hopefully but at the moment the government are finding resistance in around 100 tory mps that are going to rebel against this, depends who you listen to. the telegraph have 50 mps quoted, but either way it looks as though they may have to rely on get this bill rely on labour to get this bill through, never good rely on labour to get this bill throtfor never good rely on labour to get this bill throtfor the never good rely on labour to get this bill throtfor the government. good look for the government. >> but they do have >> no, but they do have cross—party support. so hopefully support from hopefully with that support from labour this piece labour they will see this piece of come of legislation come into. >> here's a situation, >> nicky, here's a situation, three are
6:51 am
three car thefts. police are no show . in 70% of car thefts, show. in 70% of car thefts, according to the mirror. yeah, i believe it. >> we had our connect. nobody came, nobody cared. our car was literally taken from outside our house by a truck was pulled house by a truck that was pulled up night. they just up in the night. they just lifted car and drove lifted the car onto it and drove away when we talked to away with it. when we talked to the it's the police, they said, oh, it's too an east too late. it's an east east european gang that have already taken all apart sold the taken it all apart and sold the parts yeah, we had parts in europe. yeah, we had a jaguan parts in europe. yeah, we had a jaguar. happens, jaguar. it's what happens, right? had no interest, right? and they had no interest, absolutely right? and they had no interest, absolut it/ right? and they had no interest, absolutit/ a i mean solving it as a crime. i mean it's, it's what are you supposed to do? lots people in lots of to do? lots of people in lots of cities have garages, cities don't have garages, right? garage space is right? i mean, garage space is very yeah. there's right? i mean, garage space is very lots yeah. there's right? i mean, garage space is very lots of yeah. there's right? i mean, garage space is very lots of people there's right? i mean, garage space is very lots of people have's lots, lots of people have to street it really puts street park. it really puts you off a and also just off having a car. and also just it's trust in the it's the whole trust in the police again, a police thing. again, if that's a crime , then if they're going crime, then if they're not going to anymore, then to deal with it anymore, then take the statute books. take it off the statute books. i mean, just mean, it's just it's just ridiculous report ridiculous if you can't report it. the thing happened to >> the same thing happened to my parents. was off parents. their car was taken off their had cctv their drive, and they had cctv footage the still footage and the police still wouldn't yeah. wouldn't come. yeah. and i actually a call to the actually put in a call to the police. eventually police. they eventually took the cctv, with this police. they eventually took the cct\nothing with this police. they eventually took the cct\nothing we nith this police. they eventually took the cct\nothing we can this police. they eventually took the cct\nothing we can do. this police. they eventually took the cct\nothing we can do. they;
6:52 am
police. they eventually took the cct\nothing we can do. they took was nothing we can do. they took the registration off the the registration plates off the car around the car when they drove around the corner. halfway to corner. it's probably halfway to india corner. it's probably halfway to ind absolutely. they've >> absolutely. they've just given on trying solve it given up on trying to solve it as crime. and that's very well. >> also, they're busy >> also, they're too busy solving rubbish, new solving these rubbish, new crimes that are being, hate crimes. >> scotland or whatever they are and, whatever, whatever, though ihave and, whatever, whatever, though i have to say twice, this year, driving into work in the morning, i have been stopped by police wanting to know if i'd stolen my car or not. >> well, that's so interesting. they can be bothered to do that . they can be bothered to do that. yeah, well, yeah, they can be bothered to do that, but they can't bothered follow can't be bothered to follow up the definitely been stolen. >> yeah, ryan, a third of >> yeah, yeah, ryan, a third of people caught hard people caught with hard drugs are let off by the police, well, i think there's a lack of government direction. so the police are now really taking matters into their own hands. and i was reading as well, 39% of people caught with these hard drugs a criminal drugs are avoiding a criminal record, and they're giving community resolutions instead. so i think there needs to be harder guidance given , well,
6:53 am
harder guidance given, well, stronger guidance given by the government to police in order to give of a bit more direction in terms of how to enforce , this terms of how to enforce, this particular crime. i mean, look, for example, 23,000 cases where the police had evidence to actually charge people caught in possession of class a drugs, only seven, i mean, 7000 of those cases were given community resolutions . so people that resolutions. so people that actually the police have evidence to charge these perpetrators, yet they're being led off. and i think there is some kind of de facto, de criminalisation of these drugs. but the police are just allowed , but the police are just allowed, allowed to handle it and take the matters in their own hands. there always the argument, there is always the argument, isn't that issue isn't there, that the issue of drugs use isn't drugs and drug use isn't shouldn't a criminal shouldn't be a criminal matter. >> a health issue. >> it's often a health issue. a lot addicts of people lot of these addicts of people with complex issues and actually criminalising it makes it worse. >> yeah. i mean, lots of parents, you know, lots of mothers take and, you mothers take drugs, and, you know, you do if if know, what do you do if you if you put them jail, which you you put them in jail, which you can class—a drugs,
6:54 am

7:02 am
little bit warmer. join me later for full forecast for a full forecast. >> liz truss blink and you would have missed her, but she's back again. she may have only been prime minister for 49 days, but she's brought out a book and the bookis she's brought out a book and the book is called ten years to save the west. yeah. >> in this book, truss claims she was the only conservative in the explores her the room as she explores her time in government from foreign secretary minister. secretary to prime minister. >> last night she spoke to >> well, last night she spoke to nigel farage. she'll speak to him again tonight. and here's what she had to say so far , i what she had to say so far, i was the only conservative in the room for many years, and it's not working . not working. >> the west is weak. we're seeing authoritarian regimes on the on the rise and what we're also seeing is in our own societies, our very values being undermined. you know, the things we believe in our nation, the family, individual freedom, all
7:03 am
of those core values are being undermined. and that is what my bookis undermined. and that is what my book is about. i hate being told what to do, and i hate the government telling other people what spent ten what to do. and having spent ten years government , what to do. and having spent ten years government, i can years in the government, i can tell you it genuinely doesn't know had a whitehall know best we've had a whitehall that's been shaped by being in europe, know , essentially europe, you know, essentially supplicants europe and it's supplicants to europe and it's almost like, what is that syndrome when you become a hostage and you start to love your stockholm syndrome, it's almost like that. you know, officials are constantly looking to brussels for validation , and to brussels for validation, and all of that needed to change. >> well, let's get the thoughts on all of this from our political correspondent olivia utley. good morning olivia. what's up to? i mean, what's liz truss up to? i mean, she's probably one of the most unpopular politicians , as unpopular modern politicians, as a lot of people, rightly or wrongly, blame her for the collapse of the economy after her mini—budget and her disastrous mini—budget and they talk about mortgages and they talk about mortgages and the on that. is this the impact on that. is this about , you know, restoring her about, you know, restoring her
7:04 am
reputation or is she got ambitions to get back to the top of government or what's going on, do you think here? >> i think a large of >> well, i think a large part of it is about restoring her reputation and actually quite a lot of what she says, both in her book and in that interview, will resonate with plenty of conservative mps, even those who don't really like her. there are lots of tory mps i've spoken to who talk a lot about this idea of the blob that's controlling the uk, the idea that a sort of civil servants, technocrats, quangos are the ones who are actually in charge and elected officials are essentially run by them. liz truss sort of takes that idea a step further in that in this book she talks about the deep state, and she says that she thinks that britain should scrap the obr, the office for budget responsibility and the supreme court. she doesn't like these these big technocratic organisations, which she says is stopping the democracy working as it should. well, that idea probably will go down pretty well in certain quarters of
7:05 am
westminster , particularly as she westminster, particularly as she also said she would like to see britain leave the echr, an idea thatis britain leave the echr, an idea that is very popular with conservative backbenchers. as you say, though personally she is very, very unpopular over here and i think the idea of her making a sort of return to frontline politics here in the uk is pretty fanciful. it could well be that in publishing this book and coming up with this kind of, ethos of for life, really a kind of world view. she's published here. she's looking to ingratiate herself, perhaps over the atlantic. perhaps she is thinking of a move to america. she spent a lot of time in america since she stood down as prime minister. she might fit in quite well in a white house run by donald trump. maybe, but we'll have to wait and see what happens. >> okay, olivia, thank you very much indeed . more from liz truss much indeed. more from liz truss at 7:00 tonight on the nigel farage show. let's talk to the chair of the labour party. we say good morning to anneliese dodds anneliese . dodds anneliese. >> good morning.
7:06 am
>> good morning. >> i'm actually. i don't know why i'm laughing here. i'm looking at, because of liz truss, the number of families who have lost their homes shot up who have lost their homes shot ”p by who have lost their homes shot up by a quarter as a result of her mini—budget and the soaring mortgage interest rates that followed it. so i presume you wouldn't be one to trust truss ? wouldn't be one to trust truss? >> i'm afraid not. and i think the lack of responsibility that's been taken by liz truss for the harm, frankly, that was impacted on people in our country is absolutely astonishing. you know, as you said , we've seen now those said, we've seen now those figures showing that actually repossession has shot up by over a quarter, 26% following that mini—budget of course, that's just a figure. but for those families, that meant losing the home that they believed was going to be theirs. for many , going to be theirs. for many, many years. for decades, it meant that they ultimately suffered from that awful, awful financial impact act. and it
7:07 am
wasn't an actual financial impact. it was one created by politics, created by liz truss and the conservative party. >> interesting, because i mean, liz truss says that essentially all she was trying to do was carry out a lot of the things that say rishi sunak and jeremy hunt would also try and do, but she just was blocked , obfuscated she just was blocked, obfuscated by whitehall , the obr by the blob, whitehall, the obr and that actually politicians no longer have any power. and she thinks that's quite alarming. she talks about the deep state being the one that actually led to her disastrous mini—budget, not her policies in and of themselves as well. >> i think that's bizarre. conspiracy theory , to be conspiracy theory, to be completely honest. i think just about any economist or business person that you speak with would have a very different view. i would agree, however, that rishi sunak certainly hasn't learned the lessons of that liz truss penod the lessons of that liz truss period , because of course, he's period, because of course, he's put forward a huge unfunded tax cut, £46 billion. not said how
7:08 am
he would pay for that, or whether he'd be putting up taxes elsewhere to pay for it or slashing public services. so certainly the conservative party has got to do a lot more to learn from the impact, the awful impact of that liz truss period , impact of that liz truss period, particularly on family finances, your plan is to get britain building again, 1.5 million homes over the next few years. if you can do that. excuse me . if you can do that. excuse me. sorry. apparently you're not. apparently, it's impossible to ease on there because you're so nervous. >> the adrenaline we're waiting kicks in, aren't we? so we're way too relaxed here. >> sorry. >> sorry. >> anneliese , really? really. >> i anneliese, really? really. we're affordable we're talking about affordable housing for the next generation. we look at these awful interest rates , the amount of people rates, the amount of people losing their homes, and we're saying, what do about saying, what can you do about that ? that? >> well, we believe that we can get britain building again. we set out those plans to do that . set out those plans to do that. we need to have planning reform.
7:09 am
first of all, we set out how we would deliver those changes once in a generation, changes to our planning system. so that we can get building the homes that we desperately need genuinely affordable homes and social homes. above all, we've also set out how we would be delivering new towns as well to be delivering those homes, how we would get the skills needed to deliver them with skills. england and the plans that bridget phillipson has been setting out in that area. we don't think have to accept as don't think we have to accept as a being held back in the a country being held back in the way that we have been over the last 14 years. we think we can be far more ambitious, actually, for people to grow our for our people to grow our economy, put it on that much more footing and as i more secure footing and as i said, to get britain building again , i just want to ask you again, i just want to ask you about angela rayner. i see she's out and about with rachel reeves today talking all this today talking about all of this family finances and repossession. and i just have to ask you, because it remains in the headlines, doesn't it? her own situation . and we own personal situation. and we know the police are investigating went on with
7:10 am
investigating what went on with her home, whether she her second home, whether she avoided said avoided paying tax. she said she'll step down she's she'll step down if she's committed crime. what if committed any crime. but what if she hasn't actually broken the law? but has lied? her own law? but she has lied? her own aide has claimed that she has lied. and this is somebody that called for an integrity and ethics commissioner in public life. >> she won't work. >> she won't work. >> i'm saying if it's found that she's lied. i'm just asking anneliese . anneliese dodds. >> well, i've got full confidence in angela rayner. i know that she will welcome the opportunity , actually, to set opportunity, actually, to set out all the detail on this and of course, as you mentioned, there is a police investigation into this, and she's going to be setting out all of that detail. but, you know, i have to say there will be lots of people watching this who will understand families understand that families actually are created in many different ways. families sometimes break up, families sometimes break up, families sometimes get together. that's what's happened with angela raynen what's happened with angela rayner. it's what's happened with many people , i'm sure, with many people, i'm sure, watching this and frankly, i just think the conservatives
7:11 am
here are trying to adopt a kind of plague on both your houses politics, when most people are not interested in how much not that interested in how much time. >> there's a principle that i'm asking ten years ago, asking you about ten years ago, you but there's you know. no, but there's a principle. asking about. i'm principle. i'm asking about. i'm not talking not necessarily even talking about i'm saying about the specifics. i'm saying if crime been if a crime hasn't been committed, lied, committed, but she has lied, somebody who stands to be deputy prime minister potentially prime minister in potentially the near future, you know, somebody who's called for an integrity and ethics commissioner and whose aide, commissioner and whose own aide, former alleged that she former aide has alleged that she lied, should that be grounds to stand down where is she? >> lied. i'm just interested. >> lied. i'm just interested. >> i'm not saying she hasn't. saying former aide saying you said a former aide hasshe has said she's lying. >> she has said she's lying. >> she has said she's lying. >> what she lied >> yeah, but what has she lied over issue? over this housing issue? >> i'm the >> eamonn. i'm asking the minister, not you. with respect. >> sorry. >> sorry. >> just trying clear this >> i'm just trying to clear this up and up for the viewers and listeners. is crime listeners. what is the crime she's have committed ? >> ?- >> former ? >> former aide has 7 >> former aide has contested her version is what version of events, which is what she's presenting to the public this which is that she this morning, which is that she hasn't laws or indeed hasn't broken any laws or indeed avoided was avoided paying the tax that was due. now my question is, if the police find that she hasn't broken fine . but should
7:12 am
broken the law, fine. but should she down if is found she stand down if she is found to lied ? to have lied? >> look, i believe that angela rayneris >> look, i believe that angela rayner is someone who will always do the right thing . and i always do the right thing. and i know we're really well. i've known her for many, many years . known her for many, many years. and as i said before, the point i was trying to get across was that , you know, of course there that, you know, of course there is this on angela is now this focus on angela rayner's private life. and i rayner's private life. and as i mentioned been mentioned before, she's been in a situation where a family has broken up, a family has reformed. that's the reality of modern britain. there'll be many people this programme, people watching this programme, and that's how their family has been . and i just don't been created. and i just don't think that exactly how much time angela rayner has spent with her husband years ago really is husband ten years ago really is something that many people are interested in right now. you know, worried about the know, they're worried about the cost of living, whether their money stretch the money is going to stretch at the end month, whether end of the month, whether they're to able to get they're going to be able to get a appointment this really is, a gp appointment this really is, i a distraction i think, a distraction that's coming conservatives coming from the conservatives because be because they don't want to be talking other talking about those other big issues haven't got talking about those other big issu plans haven't got talking about those other big issu plans to haven't got talking about those other big issu plans to deal haven't got talking about those other big issu plans to deal with|ven't got talking about those other big issu plans to deal with them.]ot talking about those other big issu plans to deal with them. but any plans to deal with them. but labour has. >> dodds. thanks for

going to get more money. i don't want that. going to get more money. i don't war! that. a lot of money, >> i mean, a lot of money, really. i think if you think about know, lots about it, though, you know, lots of people less than £90 of people get less than £90 a month a child. okay, 90 month for a child. okay, so 90 quids £90, but it doesn't go a long care long way to taking care of a child long way to taking care of a chiino, one minute we're told >> no, but one minute we're told there no room at there are no there's no room at schools, there's room at schools, there's no room at hospitals. room in hospitals. there's no room in the overpopulated the roads. we're overpopulated or this, that. and then we're being , told, paid people to being oh, told, paid people to have more, more children. what i mean, it's capitalism. it's basically all driven by capitalism who want to workforce until they don't want the workforce. when we've got robots doing everything that we all do. >> well, that's it's the >> well, well, that's it's the argument immigration. argument against immigration. it's don't have it's saying if we don't have more of our own children, we'll have to let immigrants in to do more care, work and all the rest of that's, you know, that's more care, work and all the rest of the t's, you know, that's more care, work and all the rest of the right's| know, that's more care, work and all the rest of the right's are ow, that's more care, work and all the rest of the right's are afraidit's more care, work and all the rest of the right's are afraid of. what the right's are afraid of. that's why they're so obsessed with what with more children. but what they actually give they could do is actually give women help women proper childcare and help them to work give them get back to work and give them get back to work and give them and the rest them tax breaks and all the rest of look after their of that to look after their kids, than just saying, of that to look after their kids, give than just saying, of that to look after their kids, give you an just saying, of that to look after their kids, give you another;aying, of that to look after their kids, give you another £90 g, of that to look after their kids, give you another £90 for let's give you another £90 for one child, doesn't one more child, that doesn't work. incentive. work. that's not the incentive. people yeah, very sensible work. that's not the incentive. peoplelet's'eah, very sensible
7:49 am
work. that's not the incentive. peoplelet's talk very sensible work. that's not the incentive. peoplelet's talk aboutensible work. that's not the incentive. peoplelet's talk about trans.e there, let's talk about trans athletes. the front mail. athletes. the front of the mail. there to a sort of there seems to be a sort of fight i suppose , as we saw fight back, i suppose, as we saw last that landmark cas last week, that landmark cas review in giving these puberty blockers to teenagers and now this call to actually come out and, you know , show some mettle and, you know, show some mettle on this, and this is the culture secretary telling sporting chiefs that yesterday. >> yeah. so lucy fraser has come out, she's writing in the mail today saying, look, women's sport needs to be protected. women need be able to know women need to be able to know that can compete their , that they can compete in their, class, in their class and class, in their sex class and that , their bodies are not that their, their bodies are not going to be weaker than some of the competitors that may have been born as men. the problem with this is that, oh my gosh, sex is not just, denoted by your genitals. that's what happens when we're born, right? so we're born and the doctor makes a decision about whether we're male or female. but the fact is it's also made up of things like hormones, chromosomes, internal reproductive hormones, chromosomes, internal re|past ctive we've had in past years, we've had athletes that, identify as female, present female , were
7:50 am
female, present as female, were female, present as female, were female born, but have had so much of testosterone in their body that have been ultra performers. so it's like if you're going say, well, we're you're going to say, well, we're definitely going get rid of definitely going to get rid of people they've this people because, they've got this advantage in this department. i think really dangerous. think this is really dangerous. you're start you're going to have to start measuring hormones and measuring people's hormones and chromosomes. it's like, how do you draw the line you where do you draw the line on what you measure in order to say, happen to be one of say, if you happen to be one of the very small minority of people , i think in society it's people, i think in society it's something like 0.2% of people who are trans, then you have your own race, your own. your own race, your own. >> your own race, your own. >> when you come back, why should it ? should it? >> you know, i completely agree with you. i don't know what the answer is. i don't know what the answer is. i don't know what the answer is, because i don't like the only the trans the idea of only the trans people together being people being together and being marginalised. people being together and being marginalis> i mean, women race on their own they're, know, own because they're, you know, it's a fair race. men race on their because a fair competition. >> but then you're always going to outliers. in sport, you to have outliers. in sport, you often male female often get people male and female athletes one athletes that just have some one incredible quality that incredible physical quality that makes them. >> they have the paralympians
7:51 am
have their own race. >> that's true. but i mean, i, i appreciate feminist, appreciate that as a feminist, it's to me that it's very important to me that we women and we don't eradicate women and silence get rid of silence women. and get rid of arrays. arguing we're arrays. we're arguing we're in danger the trans danger of doing with the trans debate. but i also worry about making of people, you making a minority of people, you know, kind of even more outcasts. >> but i also think it's a generational issue. people my age within gen z, gen z, they they seem to think it's okay to have transgender athletes competing with women. and i welcomed action that was taken by a major golfing tournament in the us , second to the us open, the us, second to the us open, and they have now banned transgender golfers from taking part because there are clear physiological differences. how we it's not at all equitable for female athletes to allow transgender athletes, whether they're golfers or any or any sport, to participate and to compete against them. it is totally and utterly unfair. i think it's just a really common
7:52 am
sense debate, but my age just blinkered and they just want to posture, appear woke . posture, appear woke. >> but ryan, on that subject, you could find yourself cancelled for those views. and i want to ask both of you , dawn want to ask both of you, dawn french, the actress and comedienne. has talked has talked about in the papers today how a cancel culture has made her more cowardly. tell us more, nicki. >> this is really interesting because because she's obviously if you go back to some of the early, french and saunders comedy in the 80s, it's pretty on the line, you know, i mean, it really is quite provocative. they wouldn't away some it really is quite provocative. ththevouldn't away some it really is quite provocative. ththe thingst away some it really is quite provocative. ththe things that away some it really is quite provocative. ththe things that they( some it really is quite provocative. ththe things that they said some of the things that they said there but what saying there now. but what she's saying is doesn't the is that she doesn't like the fact in her 60s fact that you know, in her 60s are kind of the pinnacle are what is kind of the pinnacle of career. starting to of her career. she's starting to self—censor. to self—censor. she's starting to think about what think very carefully about what jokes use and what she jokes she can use and what she can't. especially woman can't. and especially as a woman , you know, when women have had to make headway comedy to really make headway in comedy and they've and they, you know, they've been held years, feels held back for years, she feels that you it's just that it's, you know, it's just kind it's holding people back
7:53 am
kind of it's holding people back at they shouldn't at a point where they shouldn't have to feel like that. >> but i it's absurd that >> but i think it's absurd that comedians considering comedians are even considering this. part of their this. i think a part of their job description, that's job description, i think that's a being comedian, is a part of being a comedian, is that say on your that you say what's on your mind, you're there to offend, and people are offended by and if people are offended by it, get i mean it, i say, get a life. i mean how they how how they don't. how is a comedian? are how they don't. how is a con nownn? are how they don't. how is a con now censoring are how they don't. how is a con now censoring in are how they don't. how is a con now censoring in this are how they don't. how is a connow censoring in this and we now censoring in this day and age? comedians and they're unable their and make unable to do theirjob and make people laugh. >> i mean, can you make anti—semitic example? anti—semitic jokes for example? or, you know, there are areas that we all walk at. >> so i was brought up in northern ireland where it was just a culture of catholic jokes, protestant jokes, whatever . whatever. >> people just hardened to. people laugh at it. i mean, i if ihave people laugh at it. i mean, i if i have respect for people in northern and large, northern ireland by and large, is we are very robust, at is that we are very robust, at the banter we give it, we take it, whatever. it's all part of our culture, but goodness me, where we've got to now . where we've got to now. >> yeah. i mean, i worry for the, you know, for live comedy seems to be a little bit better protected because people go to, you choosing to go
7:54 am
you know, they're choosing to go into watch it. and, into an arena and watch it. and, you there less you know, there are less problems that . tv comedy problems with that. tv comedy is just don't think just so dismal. i don't think there's anything that there's anything on tv that i actually find or even actually find funny or even provocative because provocative anymore, because we've with we've become so obsessed with beingknow, you go to tv gold >> i know, but you go to tv gold or and you'll get fools or whatever and you'll get fools and army. and horses and dad's army. >> allo . >> allo, allo. >> allo, allo. >> even friends probably wouldn't today. yeah, wouldn't be allowed today. yeah, there's stuff on there. >> i mean, i speak from young >> i mean, i speak from a young person's point and i, person's point of view, and i, of have these of course, i have these discussions with a lot my discussions with a lot of my friends their and friends in their 20s, and they're petrified speaking they're so petrified of speaking out against the, you know, raising above the raising their head above the parapet and speaking against, what the majority are saying because their fear of losing their livelihoods their jobs and their livelihoods . i just think it's in there, says it's all on their side. >> anyway. four seconds. got to say goodbye to you guys. here's again 45 minutes alex deakin with . weather. with the. weather. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather

8:02 am
what she had to say. >> i was the only conservative in the room for many years and it's not working. the west is weak. we're seeing authoritarian regimes on the on the rise. and what we're also seeing is in our own societies, our very values being undermined. you know, the things we believe in our nation, the family, individual freedom, all of those core values are being undermined . and that is being undermined. and that is what my book is about. i hate being told what to do, and i hate the government telling other people what to do. and having spent ten years in the government, i can tell you it genuinely doesn't know best. we've that's we've had a whitehall that's been shaped by being in europe, essentially supplicants to europe, and it's almost like, what is that syndrome ? when you what is that syndrome? when you become a hostage and you start to stockholm, stockholm syndrome, it's almost like that. you know, officials are constantly looking to brussels for validation and all of that
8:03 am
needed to change. >> don't forget, she did vote to stay in the european union just a few years ago. changed her views significantly since then. let's hear what the labour chair, anneliese dodds, had to say about all of this. >> she sunak certainly hasn't learned the lessons of that liz truss period, because of course, he's put forward a huge unfunded tax cut, £46 billion. not said how he would pay for that or whether he'd be putting up taxes elsewhere to pay for it or slashing public services. so certainly the conservative party has got to do a lot more to learn from the impact, the awful impact of that liz truss period, particularly on family finances. >> well, joining us now is the writer and presenter connor tomlinson and the former labour party adviser scarlett mccgwire. welcome to both of you. let's start with connor. you'll start with you, connor. you'll be this book and you be buying this book and you subscribe, i suppose really, to a lot what she's saying, that a lot of what she's saying, that she had strong conservative instincts effectively instincts and it was effectively the blob that took away all of her power .
8:04 am
her power. >> we'll be reading it, i think. liz, you're right. had the correct instincts, particularly on things like the trans issue being one of the only people ahead of the cass report or after the interim report, rather, to put forward a private member's bill that banned social transition surgeries transition and surgeries for children competitors children and trans competitors in women's sports. had the in women's sports. she had the right on government right instincts on government spending on scrapping the echr, scrapping of the scrapping a lot of the institutional reforms that tony blair put through that have hooked our country up to unaccountable quangos, in unaccountable quangos, both in the and abroad . the civil service and abroad. liz is problem, and i say this without trying to be rude, is that she wasn't wise enough to how power actually works. and you're right in that she was an anti—monarchist. when she was youngen anti—monarchist. when she was younger, she was in favour of the eu. a few years ago. as of stepping into government, she kind of presumed in almost trumpian the government trumpian way that the government would what said would just do what she said because now she's in charge and she realise that it's her she didn't realise that it's her robert third robert conquest third law. actually, institutions actually, neutral institutions aren't neutral, and they're often by enemies often controlled by the enemies often controlled by the enemies of purpose. and of their stated purpose. and i
8:05 am
think now that she's been badly burned, she to and she's burned, were she to and she's projected to keep her seat when the few tories that are projected to keep that seat after this massive wipe—out, she might be the conduit through which understand how which people who understand how politics can politics actually works can act on correct instincts. on her correct instincts. >> well, let's get the thoughts of on all of of scarlett mccgwire on all of this. are outspoken this. you are an outspoken critic liz truss . what do you critic of liz truss. what do you make this comeback, some make of this comeback, some people, think there was people, i think there was a quote, harry cole of the sun saying that she had the opposite of imposter syndrome. >> i mean , most people having >> i mean, most people having crashed economy after the 44 crashed the economy after the 44 days in government, which show some humility. instead, she says, anybody who believes she crashed the economy is either malevolent or ignorant. i mean, i remember those days. i mean, i remember being at the labour party conference watching the pound slide down, and then i read her memoir and she goes, well, you know, it wasn't that bad . it was it was so bad that
8:06 am
bad. it was it was so bad that we stopped laughing and thought, there's going to be no money left for us. so she had no she i mean, it is really, really frightening what she did. she was absolutely run by an ideology that. no, i mean, you know, she found patrick minford, one economist, to back her up all the rest of the economists. and then and then she sort of thinks as though the markets are run by left wing remainers . it run by left wing remainers. it is really, really scary how little she understands. >> and, conor, what do you say to that? i mean , we also had to that? i mean, we also had anneliese dodds a little bit earlier claiming that there had been a 39% rise in homes being repossessed as a direct result of the mini—budget that liz truss presided over. >> i need to see that stat and see a breakdown of it. i again find it very hard to believe anything that anneliese dodds said, again, considering she's been routinely wrong in the transition and then hasn't backed of that, has no backed off of that, she has no humility, in terms of scotland criticism, truss the criticism, liz truss crashed the economy. actually economy. no, liz is actually
8:07 am
right the bank of right in that the bank of england strange england conducted a very strange and the world policy and unique to the world policy of gilts, while at the of selling gilts, while at the same time conducting well to conduct quantitative easing while the time raising while at the same time raising interest rates. they're walking while at the same time raising inveryt rates. they're walking while at the same time raising invery fine es. they're walking while at the same time raising invery fine tightrope; walking while at the same time raising invery fine tightrope to 'alking while at the same time raising invery fine tightrope to dealg a very fine tightrope to deal with the massive spending that was during lockdown with the massive spending that was the during lockdown with the massive spending that was the brinkrring lockdown with the massive spending that was the brink of|g lockdown with the massive spending that was the brink of it lockdown with the massive spending that was the brink of it breaking. and on the brink of it breaking. it coincided with the mini—budget, decided mini—budget, and they decided to, in very monocausal way to, in a very monocausal way through media, slap that through the media, slap that on there business as there and resumed business as usual preferred usual with their preferred candidate. can tell this candidate. and you can tell this because rishi sunak, because suddenly rishi sunak, the that behind the the man that was behind the recession who recession as chancellor who overspent irresponsibly during lockdown, and lockdown, was ushered in and then massive then committed to massive spending rises the course spending rises over the course of which were not of decades, which were not funded, trillions in funded, including trillions in climate pakistan . climate reparations to pakistan. and nobody blinked an eye. it's because, yes, there is an international consensus on how business and finance should be run . there is a sort of managed run. there is a sort of managed decline attitude, and liz truss stepped on that landmine without understanding how politics works, without knowing she stepped and it stepped on the landmine and it blew straight in her face. blew up straight in her face. and that she's very and i think now that she's very vengeful, she might able to vengeful, she might be able to play vengeful, she might be able to play in reshaping the play some role in reshaping the conservative party so an
8:08 am
actually image actually conservative image after a pretty after they suffer a pretty deserved . deserved defeat. >> you think that's her >> well, do you think that's her ambition? she's clocked ambition? i mean, she's clocked to, know, my to, on you know, my implementation policies is a implementation of policies is a disaster but disaster. they don't work, but the are quite popular the ideas are quite popular amongst lots of disaffected people. and that would include getting rid of the governor of the england. the bank of england. >> think that she >> no, i think that she understands how it works. and this what popcorn's about. this is what popcorn's about. like whole popcorn launch like this whole popcorn launch thing, just explain this is thing, just to explain this is popular conservativism , which is popular conservativism, which is a a wing, another group a group, a wing, another group within conservative party. within the conservative party. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> thank sorry, i you get >> thank you. sorry, i you get caught the westminster bubble caught in the westminster bubble and sometimes out these and sometimes throw out these small actual sign small phrases, the actual sign ups it are quite small, but ups to it are quite small, but the money influence behind the money and influence behind it sizeable. and that's it is quite sizeable. and that's because these spaces , because in many of these spaces, lots of people are just holding their breath for the election because they it's because they they think it's a lost knows, because they they think it's a lost tories knows, because they they think it's a losttories are knows, because they they think it's a losttories are going knows, because they they think it's a losttories are going to knows, because they they think it's a losttories are going to getnows, the tories are going to get wiped out. after the soil's wiped out. so after the soil's been completely deracinated, we can and that's can replant seeds. and that's what liz thinking. she's what liz is thinking. she's clearly thinking in clearly thinking that in a jockeying the post loss jockeying for the post loss leadership contest, someone leadership contest, that someone she with, and someone she is allied with, and someone that in the popcorn
8:09 am
that people in the popcorn movement allied the movement are allied with, the sort hopefully lower sort of hopefully lower migration, a migration, even though it's a bit shaky. anti—woke lower taxes cohort to put up a cohort will be able to put up a candidate to fend off the sort of cameron establishment of post cameron establishment continuity candidate and that's what trying do. what she's trying to do. >> but the reason is it >> but i mean, the reason is it not everybody's predicting not that everybody's predicting that to win the that labour is going to win the next election is because, as you point there, connor, it's a point out there, connor, it's a minority that are favour of minority that are in favour of those kinds of positions, even if are quite well if they are quite well funded. i mean, you know, mean, scarlet, you know, he talks about establishment talks about the establishment position, ultimately position, but that is ultimately what starmer and rachel what sir keir starmer and rachel reeves put reeves are trying to, put forward themselves, isn't it? because they think that will win them to centre them the return to the centre ground where elections ? ground where you win elections? >> scarlet? yes. >> scarlet? yes. >> i mean, sorry, i thought you were still talking to connor. yeah.i were still talking to connor. yeah. i mean, the centre ground is where you win elections. so i think you can go rather more left wing than than than keir is going. but the problem, i mean, what we have to remember with liz truss is that she was absolutely out on the wing. is that that she had very, very
8:10 am

8:14 am
priority must be to try and support them in defensive action, less so in offensive action. yeah. look, i think i think your question was, should we be making a commitment to go with israelis? i mean, with the israelis? i mean, i don't think we should. >> let's get the thoughts of israeli journalist jonathan confino john dunne. what do you think next? confino john dunne. what do you thinkthink next? confino john dunne. what do you thinkthink we next? confino john dunne. what do you thinkthink we will1ext? confino john dunne. what do you thinkthink we will see? confino john dunne. what do you thinkthink we will see a strike, >> i think we will see a strike, i'm not sure it's going to be on iranian soil. i think it will be. but, either way, it will have to israel will have to punish iran, one way or another. what's happening right now is that the security that the presenting the security cabinet options, kind that the presenting the security ca options options, kind that the presenting the security ca options theytions, kind that the presenting the security ca options theytionschoose. kind of options they can choose. and i believe they'll find a middle ground. obviously, they'll present maximum damage that present the maximum damage that is doing the is capable of doing and the minimum and i believe minimum damage. and i believe they'll find a middle ground simply not to alienate the uk and the us who've called on israel to, to not attack. israel to, to, to not attack. now, i do that they know now, i do think that they know israel attack. they're just israel will attack. they're just saying publicly to order saying it publicly in to order seem as, as diplomatic brokers , seem as, as diplomatic brokers, actors who don't want the whole
8:15 am
region to go into a war, and what about the comments that have come in from president biden? indeed, our foreign secretary that you should take israel's those israel's response to those missiles . as a win, and that missiles. as a win, and that should be that. i mean, it certainly seems to us here in the uk as though perhaps president biden have the president biden doesn't have the same he used to have, same sway that he used to have, not but on israel. not only on iran but on israel. >> i spoke to an israeli >> yeah. i spoke to an israeli official yesterday and he commented on this particular that said . he said when that biden said. he said when the don't listen the iranians don't listen to biden's don't. the iranians don't listen to biden's don't . warning, why biden's don't. warning, why should why should israel do that , the only the only language that iran understands is power. and of course, joe biden doesn't want this to escalate. he's looking for american looking out for american interests. us interests. it's not in the us interests. it's not in the us interests to have a regional war. not in the uk's war. and it's not in the uk's interest either. would be interest either. so it would be odd if they said, odd and unexpected if they said, yes, israel, go ahead and
8:16 am
bombard iran, they wouldn't do that. now, that being said, they know that any country facing 120 ballistic missiles, if they ballistic missiles, even if they are shut down, that is an act. that's a declaration of war. it's act of war. and we have it's an act of war. and we have to remember, there's a seven year old bedouin girl fighting for her life right now. she's not killed, but she's severely wounded from of shrapnel wounded from one of the shrapnel from ballistic missiles. so from the ballistic missiles. so i anyone their i don't think, anyone in their right mind would dismiss this attack attack. attack as a as a minor attack. and also, i think most countries, the by countries, including the uk, by the would act pretty the way, would act pretty harshly if 120 ballistic missiles were sent over london. >> thank you very much. we'll leave it there. appreciate your thoughts. thank you. in other news, the armourer for the film rust, been sentenced to 18 rust, has been sentenced to 18 months jail. hannah months in jail. hannah gutierrez—reed was found guilty of manslaughter when of involuntary manslaughter when cinematographer hutchins cinematographer haley hutchins was baldwin . was shot dead by alex baldwin. he will also face a manslaughter trial in july. >> the rate of unemployment has risen by more than expected. new data from the office for national statistics shows it's

8:47 am
welcome back. we're going through the papers this morning in the company of the former apprentice star and express columnist ryan—mark parsons. and author and commentator nichi hodgson. back both hodgson. welcome back to both of you , nicky, good story on you, nicky, good news story on the the times. let's the front of the times. let's start with that. this about start with that. this is about breast being able to breast cancer and being able to prevent it by 25. >> yeah. i mean, this is quite surprising . and it's something surprising. and it's something i certainly didn't know about when i baby last year. certainly didn't know about when i baby last year . so it's i had my baby last year. so it's a report that's come from the lancet, that 25% lancet, which is saying that 25% of cancer can be of all breast cancer can be prevented if women breastfeed, it's quite provocative in a way, because obviously we have so much discussion about breast feeding the pros and cons of it, and there's a lot of pressure on mothers breastfeed. mothers to breastfeed. some people just can't. but i was never information never given that information actually, breastfeed actually, that if you breastfeed it protects against cancer. it protects you against cancer. probably done it. probably would have done it. i didn't actually. i may didn't do it, actually. i may have done it if i had known that information. find information. did you find it difficult? didn't to difficult? i just didn't want to do because was working do it because i was working here at time. feel like at the time. i didn't feel like working screen and working on screen and breastfeeding. it's quite complicated. know, lots
8:48 am
complicated. i'm, you know, lots of that decision. of people make that decision. and also because me and my husband split husband completely split the care daughter. was care of my daughter. so if i was going breastfeed, would going to breastfeed, it would have me feeding have put the onus on me feeding her night. so it meant that her at night. so it meant that her at night. so it meant that he could feed her at night and everybody could sleep. so it really for us, but the really worked for us, but the other thing this is other thing about this story is that really, it's also blaming alcohol cancer. and alcohol for breast cancer. and it's how it's quite shocking how much drinking increases so drinking increases your risk. so about 4000 cases a year are entirely to do with, drinking alcohol. and the heaviest drinkers are 60% more likely to get cancer. if they drink this much alcohol . much alcohol. >> how much alcohol, well, they're saying asking for a friend. yeah they're saying more than one glass of wine a day. isabel. so it's not very much , isabel. so it's not very much, yeah. pretty shocking how yeah. it's pretty shocking how much your risk much alcohol increases your risk , so it has me think twice. , so it has made me think twice. i'll honest. but. yeah, but, i'll be honest. but. yeah, but, i'll be honest. but. yeah, but, i mean, it's good that we're spending time and spending more time and investigating can investigating how we can actually stop cancer. >> spending more >> prince harry spending more time in court, ryan. mark, indeed. basically he he's subjected to he's appealed
8:49 am
against the size of the bill that he would have to pay for. is this for his police protection, or is this for his legal case? i can't remember which. it's legal bill ipsis legal legal bill. but anyway, the judge said you're going to have this legal bill. >> well, he needs to reimburse the now faces the taxpayer. he now faces a bill up to £1 million. and this comes after he took the home office to court over not being given the same level of protection when he left the uk in 2020, quitting royal duties , in 2020, quitting royal duties, the judge unequivocally threw out the case after saying he comprehensively lost. and i think it's high time that we say goodbye to prince harry needs to shut up. he keeps re—emerging. he's this whiny, annoying ginger freak that just needs to go away . i don't want to hear, i don't, i really just want him to vanish . that's that's what i think a lot of the country would be on my side. i think a lot of years listening to me, would agree as well. i mean, why we, we always seem to be talking about prince
8:50 am
harry. meghan they've got a new show on netflix, they've got a brand new spotify deal. and now he's, he was seeking some protection from the home office. he's expecting the taxpayer to fund his protection. he lost the case. he needs to now. yeah, yeah, it's story to talk about him. >> and, you know, a lot of journalists do that because it's clickbait, isn't it? it gets people wound up . and so you want people wound up. and so you want him to vanish, but you're also benefiting talking about benefiting from talking about it. well, put it to you. >> well, look, it's in the news. we have to talk about it. but, you if he if he just went you know, if he if he just went away and he actually sought the life was seeking by going to life he was seeking by going to california privacy, california and complete privacy, actually, opposite california and complete privacy, ac'that y, opposite california and complete privacy, ac'thaty, going opposite california and complete privacy, ac'thaty, going on opposite california and complete privacy, ac'that y, going on shows)osite california and complete privacy, ac'thaty, going on shows likes of that by going on shows like the corden if the james corden late show. if he actually sought that life, then wouldn't discussing then we wouldn't be discussing him wouldn't be him because he wouldn't be appearing in papers. but appearing in the papers. but clearly the total clearly he's done the total antithesis to what said he antithesis to what he said he was going to do with meghan when he duties four years he left royal duties four years ago. why, ago. so that's why, unfortunately, have to speak unfortunately, we have to speak about because he's emerging about him because he's emerging everywhere, about him because he's emerging evestoryere, about him because he's emerging eve story we spoke about
8:51 am
>> story we spoke about yesterday and we're interested in on this today. in your view on this today. nikki and lgbt flags that i nikki and the lgbt flags that i think this is the royal stoke hosphal think this is the royal stoke hospital. these are flying out. so so, the nhs is, is, is having unfurl this banner to say no matter what your sexuality is and there's 21 sexualities recognised here and gender identities , you will be welcome identities, you will be welcome at this hospital. now, my only thing about this is i don't care who you are, where you're from, what your job is, how much you earn, whatever you should be welcome nhs hospital welcome at an nhs hospital anyway. to say to anyway. why the need to say to make this specific to certain people? yeah, i mean, i agree with this. >> it's interesting because if you about a lot of you think about a lot of treatment in the nhs, is it's treatment in the nhs, it is it's relevant. your body is relevant to some of treatment and to some of the treatment and maybe your lifestyle maybe some of your lifestyle choices experiences are too, choices and experiences are too, especially with things like stis, for example. you do actually often benefit actually need you often benefit from somebody's from knowing somebody's sexual identity, what their identity, knowing what their behaviours are. but the nhs doesn't like it will doesn't work like that. it will just about do you do just ask you about do you do this? do you do that? they're not bothered how this? do you do that? they're not identifyythered how this? do you do that? they're
8:52 am
not identify and ed how this? do you do that? they're not identify and that's how you identify and that's to protect it's to protect people, right? it's to stop i mean, the stop discrimination. i mean, the thing i, i i'm thing that i, i mean, i'm bisexual, know the bisexual, i know what the bisexual, i know what the bisexual flag is. i have one in my house, but i don't need anybody else it for me to anybody else to fly it for me to feel okay. you can say that's because i've by privilege because i've got by privilege and people generally quite and people are generally quite okay people. i mean, and people are generally quite okay i people. i mean, and people are generally quite okay i aboute. i mean, and people are generally quite okay i about is i mean, and people are generally quite okay i about is there's,ean, what i worry about is there's, there's so there's probably there's so many other maybe other minorities that maybe don't comfortable in the don't feel as comfortable in the nhs, people, like nhs, like black people, like brown they've brown people, the way they've been treated medical been treated by medical professionals in the past. >> what's for what's professionals in the past. >> fornhat's for what's professionals in the past. >> fornhatrest for what's professionals in the past. >> fornhatrest of for what's professionals in the past. >> fornhatrest of us what's professionals in the past. >> fornhatrest of us is hat's professionals in the past. >> fornhatrest of us is to :'s hard for the rest of us is to understand why you go into understand why you would go into a hospital and be treated any differently . differently. >> well, because maybe, maybe, like i'm saying, maybe you're maybe your identity affects some of the treatment you might receive. but i as well, because, i mean, you talk about black and brown people, perhaps their treatment in hospital. >> most doctors and nurses now are and people. are black and brown people. >> that, for >> but we know that, for example, black know, example, black women, you know, suffer more than anybody suffer pain more than anybody else the system, that black else in the system, that black women readily women die more readily in childbirth. are childbirth. you know, there are prejudices nhs, prejudices built into the nhs, but i mean, this is that well, is cause or i mean, is that
8:53 am
is that cause or i mean, is that because there's things because there's other things going you know, are going on there, you know, are black less well educated? >> perhaps they have issues >> perhaps they have more issues with with diabetes , with obesity, with diabetes, which then has complications dunng which then has complications during because during birth. or is this because they're discriminated they're being discriminated against because they're black? it's very, complicated. it's very, very complicated. >> difficult pull it's very, very complicated. >:apart. difficult pull it's very, very complicated. >:apart. we difficult pull it's very, very complicated. >:apart. we don'tjlt pull it's very, very complicated. >:apart. we don't do pull it's very, very complicated. >:apart. we don't do enough it apart. we don't do enough research understanding it apart. we don't do enough resea but understanding it apart. we don't do enough resea but i understanding it apart. we don't do enough resea but i mean,3rstanding it apart. we don't do enough resea but i mean, the|nding it apart. we don't do enough resea but i mean, the thing with that. but i mean, the thing with the flag thing is, you know, look, i'm all for people being inclusive and celebratory of choices, actually the nhs is choices, but actually the nhs is on its knees and it's does it have money print this kind of have money to print this kind of stuff and put it in the hospital? >> i totally agree, i think it's absurd. i think i was looking into some of sexualities. into some of these sexualities. apparently there's 21, three of which demi , which are polysexual, demi, romantic, genderqueer. i mean, what of this mean? and what does any of this mean? and what does any of this mean? and what does a welcome banner actually achieve? >> know, your generation >> you know, your generation does use these terms. they all on dating apps. i think. >> a lot of gen z have >> i think a lot of gen z have mental health issues because i don't understand why we to don't understand why we need to have over 20 different sexualities why that needs sexualities and why that needs to be displayed at royal stoke hosphal to be displayed at royal stoke hospital. i mean, people can't
8:54 am
even get appointments. there's a huge waiting list. i think it's utterly embarrassing for the nhs, any hospital to be nhs, any nhs hospital to be doing this? >> who needs a welcome banner like what you're saying is, is you've a budget you should you've got a budget you should be spending the care be spending on making the care service better? absolutely. we're talking of we're not talking about all of this, but very good guys. very, very good. this, but very good guys. very, vehwe'rei. this, but very good guys. very, vehwe're out of time. i can't >> we're out of time. i can't believe it's through believe it. it's ripped through with two really quickly. with you two really quickly. thank much indeed for thank you very much indeed for joining us. nick nichi hodgson don't i'm going. don't know where i'm going. >> nick. >> nick. >> that's fine. nichi hodgson and ryan. mark parsons, thank you much. you very, very much. >> very much indeed. >> thank you very much indeed. what do is we're what we're going to do is we're going out what the going to find out what the weather all over weather is, because not all over the it's april showers and weather is, because not all over tibit it's april showers and weather is, because not all over tibit of it's april showers and weather is, because not all over tibit of hail; april showers and weather is, because not all over tibit of hail thrownshowers and weather is, because not all over tibit of hail thrown inywers and weather is, because not all over tibit of hail thrown in as rs and weather is, because not all over tibit of hail thrown in as well.! a bit of hail thrown in as well. here's alex de sunny tuesday. >> i know. >> i know. >> looks like things are heating up boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> good morning. welcome to your latest update from the met office for gb news. another fresh start out there this

9:02 am
time serving from foreign to. secretary prime minister. >> and last night she sat down with nigel farage. here's what she to say. she had to say. >> was the only conservative >> i was the only conservative in for many years, and in the room for many years, and it's working. west it's not working. the west is weak . we're seeing authoritarian weak. we're seeing authoritarian regimes on the on the rise . and regimes on the on the rise. and what also seeing is our what we're also seeing is in our own our values own societies, our very values being undermined. you know, the things in our nation, things we believe in our nation, the individual freedom , the family, individual freedom, all of those core values are being undermined. that is being undermined. and that is what my book about. i hate what my book is about. i hate being do, and being told what to do, and i hate the government telling other to and other people what to do. and having spent years in the having spent ten years in the government, tell it government, i can tell you it genuinely know best. government, i can tell you it genuirhad know best. government, i can tell you it genuirhad a know best. government, i can tell you it genuirhad a whitehall/ best. government, i can tell you it genuirhad a whitehall that's we've had a whitehall that's been shaped by being in europe, you know, essentially supplicants to europe. and it's almost like, what that . almost like, what is that. syndrome? when you become a hostage and you start to lock stockholm syndrome, it's almost like that, you know, officials are constantly to are constantly looking to brussels for validation and all of that needed to change, now, liz . truss will be speaking
9:03 am
liz. truss will be speaking again at 7:00 to nigel farage here on gb news. and earlier in the program, we spoke with the labour chair, anneliese dodds. >> i the lack of >> and i think the lack of responsibility that's been taken by liz truss for the harm, frankly, that impacted on frankly, that was impacted on people in our country is absolutely astonishing. >> let's join our >> okay. let's now join our political correspondent, olivia utley with more analysis on this. what did you make this. olivia, what did you make of ? of it? >> well, it was a really interesting interview . and interesting interview. and essentially what liz truss did was go just a bit further than the sort of things that conservative mps have been saying. quite long saying. now for quite a long time. that politicians time. this idea that politicians are run by the blob, i.e. whitehall , these quango whitehall, these quango organisations like the obr , the organisations like the obr, the supreme court she talked about is a very popular idea in westminster. liz truss calls that the deep state, and she says that we need to basically scrap it all. she said that britain should, scrap the obr, scrap the supreme court, get out
9:04 am
of the european court of human rights. now, those ideas will probably go down pretty well among certain conservative mps and also among certain conservative voters. 50% of 2019 conservative voters. 50% of 2019 conservative voters. 50% of 2019 conservative voters would like to leave the echr. of course, liz truss herself is a pretty unpopular character in westminster. even those who agree with her, agreed with her sort of tax cutting, massive tax cutting budget thought that she did it a bit too quickly and ended up upsetting the market. so i think it's unlikely that this that this book and this interview will sort of participate in a comeback for liz but she is trying to liz truss. but she is trying to restore it restore her reputation and it will to see where will be fascinating to see where she here. will be fascinating to see where she okay, here. will be fascinating to see where sheokay, olivia,ere. will be fascinating to see where sheokay, olivia, thank you. all >> okay, olivia, thank you. all right. another right. on to another controversial . character, this controversial. character, this time, prince harry. he's back in the headlines after a high court judge ruled he must pay 90% of the home office legal costs for the home office legal costs for
9:05 am
the case regarding the downgrading security. downgrading of his security. >> it's a failed legal bid, >> so it's a failed legal bid, and it could cost him in excess of a million quid. but he says he is determined to fight on. let's speak to our royal correspondent, cameron walker. let's speak to our royal corresjhaveent, cameron walker. let's speak to our royal corresjhaveent, thorse. walker. let's speak to our royal corresjhaveent, thorse. could r. could have been worse. could have 100% of have been made to pay 100% of everything. so . what do you what everything. so. what do you what do you make of this? >> well, it's a pretty hefty bill. eamonn. this will dates back, if you think, to 2020, when back as a working when he stood back as a working member the family, member of the royal family, the home office downgraded his security because security essentially because he is working member of is no longer a working member of the family. prince harry the royal family. prince harry argued could argued that his family could not be the uk. he also be safe in the uk. he also alleged a paparazzi chased alleged that a paparazzi chased his world his car after the world child awards when he came awards in 2021. when he came back the sued the back to the uk, he sued the home office because his lawyers argued singled argued that he'd been singled out treated less favourably out and treated less favourably than in position . in than others in his position. in february, the high court ruled that decision change the that the decision to change the security was not unlawful or irrational, and they were entitled to the home office to take the decision they did . then take the decision they did. then yesterday, harry lost his yesterday, prince harry lost his
9:06 am
initial . appeal that initial bid to. appeal that ruling from the high court, and the judge ordered him to pay 90% of the home office's costs, beanng of the home office's costs, bearing in mind the home office's is paid by us, office's cost is paid for by us, the taxpayer, the telegraph freedom information request freedom of information request from ago from a couple of months ago reveals cost is in reveals that that cost is in excess of half £1 million, prince harry argued, his prince harry argued, or his lawyers that he shouldn't lawyers did, that he shouldn't have to pay 50 to 60% of that cost, because the home office delayed providing what they thought was key information for this claim, and they would therefore have to adapt the claim. but the judge agreed to a modest reduction. but that was only a 10% reduction, which is why got 90% figure. why we've got this 90% figure. but harry is going to but prince harry is going to directly appeal to the court of appeal. so he's still fighting on. clearly thinks right on. he clearly thinks he's right and been treated unfairly. and he's been treated unfairly. the office, would say, the home office, i would say, disagrees but i think disagrees with that. but i think this of, is this moral this is a case of, is this moral or not? this is a legal case,
9:07 am
and therefore, if the legal arguments is solid , which the arguments is solid, which the judge, clearly a high court judge, clearly a high court judge clearly believes it is, it's going to be very difficult for prince harry to bring this forward. >> well, you see, if this was my son and i was a father in all of this, and i had the money to pay for this, i think i probably would just pay for it. i find it quite interesting that prince charles stands back from this and says, no, leave him. he's on. he's on his own. >> do you mean pay for his security? >> his legal costs? i >> his legal costs? yeah. i mean, is on his own. mean, well, he is on his own. but prince a lot but also, prince harry has a lot of money from his memoir, spare, the non—fiction the fastest selling non—fiction book time. so be book of all time. so he will be getting hefty royalties from that. he's also got his big netflix deal, which is still . netflix deal, which is still. ongoing. we've had two new projects announced with harry and meghan from that, so he does have the money to pursue these legal cases. he also has a couple of cases against various newspaper groups in the united kingdom, and he sees it as his
9:08 am
life's mission, really, to hold people account, including people to account, including the home doing that, home office. but by doing that, he's bringing he's also potentially bringing a bit a hefty cost to us as bit of a hefty cost to us as a taxpayer, because this is the home office who clearly is funded by taxpayers, and they're having out this legal having to fork out this legal money. prince harry the money. if prince harry wins the appeal money. if prince harry wins the appeal, taxpayers are appeal, then us as taxpayers are out okay. out of pocket. okay. >> much indeed. >> thanks very much indeed. cameron here's an interesting story and story we've got for you. and it's a rye, involves the it's a rye, which involves the national and what national trust. and what is their in society? yeah. national trust. and what is the they've society? yeah. national trust. and what is the they've comey? yeah. national trust. and what is the they've come underh. national trust. and what is the they've come under fire from >> they've come under fire from locals village of sudbury locals in the village of sudbury in after they were in derbyshire after they were told that their community sports field for field was being taken back for the meet their eco the trust to meet their eco targets , evicting the football targets, evicting the football club who sets club that uses it, who sets these eco targets? >> i worked for the bbc a few weeks ago and my travel costs were all eco targets, so that determined whether you were on a train, a plane, an automobile where you travel first class, second class, and it goes on and on and on. >> you know, from people >> and, you know, from people who they're there to crunch who they're just there to crunch numbers and hit these targets that nobody's imposing except on
9:09 am
themselves. anyway a football team are losing their pitch over this. what do you make of it? jack carson with the full story in the quaint derbyshire village of sudbury, there's a storm brewing between the local football club and the national trust. >> this grass field might seem unremarkable, but for hundreds of been part of the of years it's been part of the sudbury estate, playing sudbury hall estate, playing host village football and host to the village football and cricket now, the cricket matches. now, the national trust are planning to put an end to that tradition in the name of biodiversity , with the name of biodiversity, with plans for trees and plants where the football club play. some worry it breaks a memorandum of wishes from the late lord vernon, whose family have lived here fc tom crutchley, says sudbury fc tom crutchley, says he's upset at the decision. >> naturally disappointed, a lot we've been here. this is our ninth year, you know, we've put a lot of effort into into here to keep playing, to maintain it, i'm from the village originally,
9:10 am
so personally it was. yeah, very. it was very upsetting. not just for our team, but for future generations, the future generations, but the amount they here, amount of land they have here, over believe there's over 20 acres, i believe there's surely room for that. and over 20 acres, i believe there's surthe room for that. and over 20 acres, i believe there's surthe amount oom for that. and over 20 acres, i believe there's surthe amount ofn for that. and over 20 acres, i believe there's surthe amount of times hat. and over 20 acres, i believe there's surthe amount of times that and over 20 acres, i believe there's surthe amount of times that wei for the amount of times that we play, because we play between 10 to home a year, to 15 home games a year, under 2% that we're here. 2% of the time that we're here. so not really the way so we're not really in the way as the national trust want as much the national trust want to communities. to support local communities. and build strong relations, and by doing this, not letting us play by doing this, not letting us play here probably doesn't help that the proposed have that the proposed changes have upset worry upset local people who worry businesses in the area might also impact of losing it. >> as a community space, mp for derbyshire, dines, derbyshire, dale sarah dines, says aren't says the national trust aren't respecting the history of the site. >> i feel they're trampling over the wishes of historic owners who gave up this wonderful site for the nation and for over 100 years people have played football and cricket here. it's incredibly sad, incredibly sad, andifs incredibly sad, incredibly sad, and it's against the wishes of a lot of people locally who have written to me from the village and i know it's a tricky and the i know it's a tricky issue maintaining sort of issue maintaining this sort of ground, government's ground, but the government's given money
9:11 am
given a lot of money for grassroots and there would grassroots sport and there would be funds available to keep it as it it's not just plans for the >> it's not just plans for the sports that have upset the sports field that have upset the member parliament. sudbury member of parliament. sudbury hall lives under the branding of the children's country house, a decision dines is decision which dines says is disrespectful history disrespectful to the history of the estate. disrespectful to the history of the isstate. disrespectful to the history of the! mean, this is fake make >> i mean, this is fake to make it into children's theme park. it into a children's theme park. it's a reimagining. it into a children's theme park. it's a reimagining . and it's almost a reimagining. and in fact, that's the very words it says on their website. the house is reopened. it's been reimagined. i don't want our heritage to be reimagined. i think. think the national think. i think the national trust been been trust has been it's been captured people who captured by people who have different most people different ideas than most people in in response to the concerns >> in response to the concerns raised plans for the raised about the plans for the sports national trust sports field, a national trust spokesperson sports field, a national trust spokespetrust sports field, a national trust spokespe trust will not sports field, a national trust spokespetrust will not be able national trust will not be able to continue running the land as a space for hire on a commercial basis, the local community will continue to be able to enjoy it free of charge for family leisure time games and activities as picnicking, activities such as picnicking, dog and village dog walking and village celebrations. we are also looking to restore the

9:17 am
essential to women's health. >> why should women be paying extra for that? and the
9:18 am
9:19 am
9:20 am
right. tax on bras discriminates against women. that's according to the society of radiographers. >> we're going to hear that more about that today . it's at their about that today. it's at their annual conference. and delegates there will argue how brassieres are crucial for women's health and should be vat free, claiming that it and should be vat free, claiming thatitis and should be vat free, claiming that it is discriminatory under. the equality act. >> well, joining us now to discuss this is julie blanch. she's founder of the bra consultancy good morning to you, this a new one me. this is a new one on me. i hadnt this is a new one on me. i hadn't really thought about it. i there's an argument, i suppose there's an argument, isn't that if you've isn't there, that if you've got vat on really important vat on these really important items of clothing, essential items of clothing, essential items of clothing, that people might for the cheaper option,
9:21 am
might go for the cheaper option, and we know how ill fitting bras can actually lead to lots of problems, either musculoskeletal or some cases, if the or in some cases, if the underwires are cutting in in, things to things could even lead to increased cancer. increased risk of breast cancer. is that right? >> definitely , most people >> yeah, definitely, most people tend to guess , when they buy a tend to guess, when they buy a bra or they come to a local independent. you've got the knowledge there. we can advise them what the right bra is for them, their breast health, their size , i think when people go and size, i think when people go and try and battle through their selves, they, are hung up about the size. so they don't want to go to . a a g or the size. so they don't want to goto.aagoranh, the size. so they don't want to goto.aagoran h,they the size. so they don't want to go to . a a g or an h, they want go to. a a g or an h, they want to stay at a c and a d and their wires in the wrong place. so it's all about good breast health, and that's what us, health, and that's what as us, as promote . as independents promote. >> i'm seeing the display behind you there. julie. isn't the danger that brassieres may well have sexualised, you know, have been sexualised, you know, from view that it's from the point of view that it's all about how they look as to,
9:22 am
as opposed to what they do or don't do , not. well, it's like don't do, not. well, it's like you wouldn't put your feet in badly fitting shoes, but ladies put their breasts in badly fitting bras all the time. so that's how i would say the analogy is really, because it should be a, it's a foundation garment, so it makes it look good under your clothes. but it's also got to be comfortable. the wires in . the right place if the wires in. the right place if it's a wired bra. but, you know, it's a wired bra. but, you know, it's about the good fit, but mainly the comfort and the good breast health. >> it certainly seems to be a growing trend tackling these growing trend is tackling these perhaps discriminated vats. there january there was triumph in january this on period pants. and this year on period pants. and then obviously tampon tax then we had obviously tampon tax as . and it's interesting as well. and it's interesting when read into it, when you when you read into it, there lots of goods there are lots of goods and services obviously subject to vat. 20, don't vat. i think we pay 20, don't we? the moment? well, we? at the moment? well, exemptions include books and newspapers, children's clothes and toys, motorcycle helmets and
9:23 am
bras are classed as garments at the moment, so you have to pay 20. and so if you're buying a £40 bra and if that vat was removed, you'd only have to pay £32. how hopeful are you that you get this change? you might get this change? >> well, definitely. it's bringing up awareness , and bringing up awareness, and obviously if the vat is then , obviously if the vat is then, taken off, it makes the garment a lot cheaper. obviously so then people could buy more garments, good fitting garments as opposed to cheaper garments because of their spend. so it's only got to be a positive thing in my eyes, that. be a positive thing in my eyes, that . if the vat is removed, that. if the vat is removed, that. if the vat is removed, that will benefit and bring awareness. at the moment it's bringing awareness, to the industry. so if the vat is removed, that would be a fantastic option ladies . fantastic option for ladies. >> let's, let's. >> but it isn't. good luck with your your work and your advocacy
