8:01 pm
money trial is underway. the man was in the designated protest area outside the manhattan criminal court. the person received medical attention and was taken from the area . the was taken from the area. the circumstances are still unclear and we will bring you more as we get it. the uk and western allies are calling for de—escalation in the middle east after reports that israel launched air strikes against iran . state media says three iran. state media says three drones were shot down with explosions heard at an airbase near the city of isfahan . no near the city of isfahan. no damage or injuries have been reported in the latest exchange. the strike is thought to be in response to last weekend's attack, when iran fired a barrage of drones and missiles at israel . in other news, at israel. in other news, scotland's former first minister has spoken for the first time since her husband was charged by police. nicola sturgeon was questioned by journalists as she left her home in glasgow. it seems incredibly difficult, but you know, that's not the main issue here so i can't say any
8:02 pm
more. >> i'm not going to say any more i >> -- >> and peter murrell, who is the snp's chief executive for more than two decades before standing down last year, has been charged in connection with the embezzlement of funds . embezzlement of funds. detectives are investigating how more than £600,000 in donations for independence campaigning was spent. the 59 year old, who is no longer in custody, has also resigned his snp membership . the resigned his snp membership. the met police has apologised after an officer used the firm openly jewish, to an anti—semite campaigner who was near a pro—palestine march . a video pro—palestine march. a video clip posted on social media showed the moment gideon falter was threatened with arrest by police . police. >> you are quite openly jewish. this is a pro—palestinian march. i'm not accusing you of anything, but i'm worried about the reaction to your presence. >> the chief executive of campaign against anti—semitism was wearing a kippah skullcap when he was stopped from crossing a road near the demonstration in london last saturday, the met police
8:03 pm
assistant commissioner said the officer's poor choice of words was hugely regrettable . and five was hugely regrettable. and five just stop oil protesters have been convicted of aggravated trespass after they disturbed a performance of les miserables in london's west end last year. the performance was stopped when activists stormed the stage and locked themselves to the set. an audience of around 1000 people was asked to leave the venue, and the performance was cancelled, the court was told. the action cost the theatre an estimated £60,000 and for the latest stories, sign up to gb news alerts by scanning the qr code on your screen or go to gb news. common alerts. now it's back to . mark. back to. mark. >> if you thought the biggest problem facing the country was illegal immigration and ongoing cost of living crisis, a broken nhs, sky high taxes or a bloated and inefficient public sector?
8:04 pm
think again. it's so dreadful smokers you've got to worry about. that's right. whose taxes pay about. that's right. whose taxes pay for our beleaguered public services? this hasn't stopped born again socialist rishi sunak wasting parliamentary time and annoying half his own party with annoying half his own party with a very unconservative and probably unenforceable, smoking ban on people born after 2009. so when these youngsters reach adulthood , they'll be co—opting adulthood, they'll be co—opting people in their 90s to pop into the newsagents to buy them 20 benson and hedges. is it any wonder that rishi sunak premiership is going up in smoke at the fag end of 14 years? things couldn't be worse for the beleaguered pm, with yet another sorry tale of a tory mp caught up in a compromising position last week it was william wragg, big willie, to his friends, who inexplicably handed out phone numbers of his tory colleagues after he was caught sending presumably saucy pictures of himself to a blackmailer
8:05 pm
blackmailer. now, whilst focus should be on angela rayner's car crash in slow motion, where did i live ten years ago? drama enter stage left another conservative backbencher, the lancashire mp mark menzies, who, according to the times newspaper, allegedly called an assistant in the middle of the night demanding thousands of poundsin night demanding thousands of pounds in what was called a matter of life and death to pay off bad people. who are these bad people? are the tory backbenchers . he was even backbenchers. he was even allegedly locked in a flat, presumably one of the flats that we pay for. it's also alleged that £14,000 given by donors for campaign activities was transferred to menzies account for medical expenses. what are those medical expenses? was it a kidney transplant? back surgery , kidney transplant? back surgery, a bum lift? menzies denies the charges and he's now lost the tory whip. that sounds like an early punishment. i imagine he quite likes the whip. let's give
8:06 pm
this poor bloke the benefit of the doubt, shall we? but it all has echoes of john major's sleaze ridden administration in 1997. now climate alarmists got very excited to see dubai flooded with rain this week, with wild scenes of hotels and shopping centres knee deep in water in what is basically normally an arabian desert. even aeroplanes struggled to navigate the runway. such were the levels of flooding, of course. predictably, this news was met with excitement and glee by net zero fanatics who will stop at nothing to stir up hysteria around climate change, except that some have been speculating that some have been speculating that the dubai authorities. that's right, the dubai authorities have been indulging in something called cloud seeding, where they essentially plant rain into the clouds in order to bring moisture to this arid landscape . now, if that's arid landscape. now, if that's true, it's probably best to leave nature to its own devices. the same could be said for a certain virus laboratory in
8:07 pm
wuhan. meanwhile, the climate cult will continue to seize on any unusual weather to prove that the world is going to have blown up by next tuesday . the blown up by next tuesday. the fact that we're all sat here shivering in april doesn't really help the climate change cause, does yes, the earth cause, does it? yes, the earth is heating up, and yes, we should clean up the planet and go green in a sensible way. with the likes of china pulling their weight. but eco fanatics weight. but these eco fanatics are over the top, deluded, mad and often wrong . they have cried and often wrong. they have cried wolf too many times and all they've got now is hot . air. they've got now is hot. air. well, the full reaction by friday. a—teams sajeela curci, tony cottee and nicholas owen suella get the ball rolling for us. do the tories have a problem with sex? >> oh my god, i think they've got a problem . a lot of it is to got a problem. a lot of it is to do with sex. i mean, of course

8:39 pm
leave 2016, have folded yet leave in 2016, have folded yet again during brexit negotiations. they said that we couldn't have our cake and eat it, and yet we now have tariff free access to the european market. there was the rumoured £100 billion divorce bill that never materialised. they said we would be chucked out of the collaborative horizon science project for only us to join at the end of last year, they said that the dreadful backstop, remember the backstop, which worked against northern ireland. they said it couldn't be thrown out. it was gone in months and now technocrats on the continent want to invite young brits to have freedom of movement in europe. the so—called youth mobility scheme would allow young brits aged 18 to 30 to go to europe for up to four years to europe for up to four years to work, travel and study and for their youngsters to do the same here. well, that sounds like they want us back. so that's access to jobs and residency in europe without paying residency in europe without paying huge monthly sums or
