leading calls today for the metropolitan chief, mark leading calls today for the metropotoan chief, mark leading calls today for the metropoto quit chief, mark leading calls today for the metropoto quit overchief, mark leading calls today for the metropoto quit over what mark leading calls today for the metropoto quit over what she'k rowley, to quit over what she describes as a litany of failures in policing pro—palestinian rallies. >> yes, the latest scandal embroiling the met is the force's reaction after an officer used the terms openly jewish to describe an anti—sex autism activist. >> gideon falter was stopped from crossing a road near a pro—palestinian march by the officer , who described him as officer, who described him as quite openly jewish. >> while the force has since apologised not once but twice . apologised not once but twice. well, joining us in the studio is political commentator john oxley . good to see you this oxley. good to see you this morning, john. and this is just going from bad to worse, the metropolitan police, isn't it? >> absolutely. so this has been developing the course of developing over the course of the obviously, there's the the week. obviously, there's the background already of questions over handled these over how they've handled these protests, there was this protests, but there was this incident last weekend, that received a lot of publicity. then they apologised and they've now actually had to apologise over their apology because it was so poorly worded and seen as just as inflammatory as their

first mistake. >> just scrapping the man at the top . help. i mean, he's not been top. help. i mean, he's not been in the job very long for a kick off, i mean, if he if he can give assurances that things will change, perhaps he's best left in place to get on with that. >> well, this is the long running issue that we had with his predecessor, cressida dick, who came under criticism for different reasons, particularly in the wake of the sarah everard case, but , in the wake of the sarah everard case, but, you in the wake of the sarah everard case, but , you know, in the wake of the sarah everard case, but, you know, part of in the wake of the sarah everard case, but , you know, part of the case, but, you know, part of the question is if the police are still struggling to find someone who can affect these sort of changes, do we to think changes, do we have to think more broadly about an organisation? know, the organisation? you know, the current it, you know, mr rowley already being criticised around his response to the review following the murder of sarah everard and how the police have handled a range of issues, so the question is, you know , if the question is, you know, if he's not right, is there anyone who can get this organisation acting properly and in the pubuc acting properly and in the public interest? makes you think

about the comments from the anti—extremism tsar about a month ago, who warned that there were no go zones forjews in were no go zones for jews in central london and the man in the centre of this row, gideon falter, the man who was told that he looked openly jewish. >> he's written in the sunday times today saying that not only are there no go zones forjews, are there no go zones for jews, but he now says it's a police enforced jew free zone. what do you make of those comments ? you make of those comments? >> i think it's very hard to comment to someone who isn't jewish, but i think what we're seeing from a number of members of the jewish community is they are very much feeling that way, and incidents like this show, you the police's primary you know, the police's primary approach here seems to be trying to avoid trouble, but doing so by taking away what they think is going to inflame protesters , is going to inflame protesters, rather than addressing the fact that these protests are apparently so volatile that the police consider even the presence of someone who looks jewish and is wearing jewish dress , a provocation. and i can

dress, a provocation. and i can see why that's exceptionally worrying. >> if you are jewish, i mean, you can understand why some people and it's not that these people and it's not that these people don't have a right to protest, as long as it's done peacefully and that there isn't the hate language and all the rest of it, but you can understand why people get annoyed it seems to be annoyed in that it seems to be the police are scared of doing anything which would be perceived as in any sense racist or against a against a muslim group or a palestinian group or whatever it may be. >> yes . and that's exactly the >> yes. and that's exactly the point. that's sort of coming out about this, that if there were any other sort of protest and any other sort of protest and any other sort of protest and any other sort of minority, the police response wouldn't be that minority has to remove themselves from the area in case it provokes the protesters. it would be how do we treat this as a public order thing? how do we make sure this minority person is safe? and that would probably

mean, you know, some quite robust the robust policing against the protesters, not just, you know, pulling this person out of the situation . yeah. situation. yeah. >> yeah, it's the whole argument about policing in a, in a, without fear or favour. is it which, which they don't seem to be doing . be doing. >> no. and that's exactly it. and they don't seem to be taking on these, you know, protesters when there's potential to become violent in a robust way. and that points , you know, you you that points, you know, you you have to have sympathy with the individual officers on the ground. you know, it shows something wrong about the directions . directions. they're being given and the overall strategy. and that's when you have to ask

i >> -- >> to try and fend off russias invasion. now this was after some objected to sending money overseas instead of spending it

on the us, mexico border. >> well, ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy said he was grateful for the decision, which he said keeps history on the right track. >> meanwhile, moscow says the passage of the bill would further ruin ukraine and result in more deaths. >> well, joining us now is chair of republican overseas, greg swenson. good to see you this morning, greg. and it's taken months to get to this point. hasn't it. >> it really has. so it's in many ways it's about time. and i think there's a general consensusis think there's a general consensus is that this is great news. wish it happened earlier. >> why was it being blocked out. >> why was it being blocked out. >> i think it was being blocked for good reason , many for good reason, many republicans wanted to tie this to the border. and contrary to popular belief, where, you to the border. and contrary to popular belief , where, you know, popular belief, where, you know, the argument was we need more money for the border. it wasn't actually money. and in the in the initial proposals had more funding for the border from the democrats. that's not the point. they could flip the switch and, and down the border to

and shut down the border to a certain degree. so it wasn't as much the money going out the doon much the money going out the door. it's that the biden administration decided to open the border when he took over in early 21. so if they had just this could have happened. this funding could have happened two months ago. if biden had agreed to shut down the border like it was closed during the trump administration. >> and yet, how does it fit within? i mean , i don't know within? i mean, i don't know about your personal view is, but for a lot of republicans who say we fed up of being the we are fed up of being the world's policeman, yeah, there is element of the party. is that element of the party. >> there's an isolationist wing in republican it's in the republican party. it's relatively that relatively small. you saw that the majority of republicans, a great majority of republicans, voted of the funding voted for all of the funding yesterday. it is this fringe kind of extreme element. it's not necessarily conservative. you know, sometimes you read, oh, the conservative wing of the party. that's not the case. the conservative movement is very pro defence. you know, we endorse military spending. we endorse military spending. we endorse defence spending. biden

has cut the budget in real terms by 2% for the last two years. that's dangerous at a time like this. so yes, there is this fringe wing and those are the ones that will probably or possibly file a motion to vacate on mike johnson, the speaker of the house, who really pushed this , aid bill through. this, aid bill through. >> i mean, we've just heard from zelenskyy there who says he's very grateful. what do you think this means for ukraine and what message does it send to putin? >> well, it definitely sends a message that the is willing message that the us is willing to support the defence of ukraine. and this is a good thing. and, you know, even this is very reagan esque in many ways where, you know, the reagan administration was very much behind allies, behind behind our allies, behind democracy , fighting for their democracy, fighting for their freedom. you had proxy wars going on at that time in nicaragua, for example. and so this is a way for the us to get ahead of it, right? we'd rather help ukraine defend itself. now than have a bigger problem later. it's actually cost effective in many ways.

>> of course, that also includes i mean, there's more money going to israel as a result of this. there's also money going to taiwan. >> that's right, that's right. and then and then the last element is the is forcing tiktok to be sold to an american owner. yes. and that that was another priority. but you know, and that was bipartisan in many ways. >> so tell us a bit more about this. this tiktok. sure part of what was going on yesterday. >> yes. the there is that that threat, that tiktok, you know, being owned by the chinese, tied to the chinese, to the ccp as well as the prc, they they you know, there's an argument that thatis know, there's an argument that that is data and, and potential influence peddling that we just can't live with. and, you know, it's similar to, to restrictions on media ownership or television ownership by by foreign owners. and so this was important to again, it was for the most part bipartisan. and it's a great security risk to have the chinese owning that kind of

data, and can i ask you about obviously now this very strange situation. >> now, obviously, you know, you're going to have trump as a presidential candidate , you've presidential candidate, you've got the various court cases which are getting underway now and all more to come before november. i mean, it's all it's all very complex and highly contentious . you were not contentious. you were not a trump supporter in the run up to all of this . what's your all of this. what's your position now? would you still like would you i mean, as a as a republican because he's your candidate. would you like to see him get in? >> definitely. >> definitely. >> and now on, that's what >> and now come on, that's what i struggle with. sure. a little bit. you know, you, i think you were desantis. >> right. very much so. >> that's right. very much so. >> that's right. very much so. >> who was in, in a lot of respects, diametrically opposed to a lot of what trump was standing for. so if you said, well, i wanted desantis and not trump, how can you then go, well, i'm happy for to go well, i'm happy for trump to go in well for a few in anyway. well for a few reasons. >> is it's a binary choice. >> one is it's a binary choice. at this point, it's trump or

biden. and to a biden. and that to me is a complete no brainer. secondly, if in many ways had if ron desantis in many ways had was was similar trump, he was was was similar to trump, he was drawing the same part of drawing from the same part of the of the electorate. he had that, you know, sort of traditional conservatives, but also type. and also the new populist type. and that's that was the appeal of desantis . and that was also the desantis. and that was also the challenge for desantis, because he was drawing from the same part of the electorate as opposed to nikki haley , who was opposed to nikki haley, who was drawing more from the moderate wing or even democrats and wing or even some democrats and independents. so. so ron desantis, many ways was like desantis, in many ways was like trump. he's a fighter. he he definitely leans toward the populist wing. yet he was much more disciplined. so i thought he'd be a much, much more effective president than trump. >> do you not have concerns ? >> do you not have concerns? you're not diametrically opposed. but the discipline part . yeah. is interesting. are you not concerned about trump getting back in with his lack of discipline , that unpredictability? >> stephen, i'm very concerned about it. right? i mean, it's

back in 2016. we were concerned about it . i back in 2016. we were concerned about it. i was more back in 2016. we were concerned about it . i was more concerned about it. i was more concerned at the time that he would govern less as a conservative and more as a populist or a moderate, because he didn't really have a conservative track record . we conservative track record. we were pleasantly surprised when he did govern as a conservative. and if you look at his policies and his outcomes , they were very and his outcomes, they were very conservative in nature. but the discipline , you know, was a was discipline, you know, was a was a real headwind for the administration. you know, his sort of unfiltered rhetoric. sometimes it's refreshing . and i sometimes it's refreshing. and i think that was one of the reasons he won in 2016. he was saying what people were thinking , but it does create an and it leaves a lot of room for chaos . leaves a lot of room for chaos. and there was a lot of turnover in the administration. so yeah, of course i'm concerned about it. and we see that even we've seen that even recently. now is that going to be a deal breaker? is that going to make him completely ineffective ? i don't completely ineffective? i don't know, but i would argue he's probably going to be better at

this than he was in the first administration. you've got a lot of support, a lot of think tanks. i'm told from sort of inner circle that the campaign is remarkably more disciplined than it was in 2016. he's you know, he's had the experience. so we can expect it. yes, we can expect some some chaos. and that's just the nature of president trump. but what we for hopeis president trump. but what we for hope is that he's better at it this time. you've got the heritage foundation, for example , putting together what they call the 2025 plan. they are they are right now putting together a team, putting together a team, putting together , you know, a recruiting together, you know, a recruiting platform to make sure that there's effective people in place. one of the things you hear a lot in the media is that evenin hear a lot in the media is that even in the conservative press is in america . even in the conservative press is in america. is even in the conservative press is in america . is that this? no is in america. is that this? no one that's really skilled or experienced will want to work for him. and that is , you know, for him. and that is, you know, it's a i can i can understand the concept that because he did have problems keeping people in

his first administration. but this time i think that's greatly exaggerated. there's plenty of good people that want to work for him. >> okay, we'll be talking to you a lot over the of course. >> great to see. really good to see you. >> thank you very much indeed. now it's 6:17. let's take a look at stories coming at some other stories coming into thousands of people >> well, thousands of people have protested throughout the canary calling for canary islands calling for a limit on tourists, demonstrators calling for those numbers to be capped and kerbs on development, which they call harmful for residents and the environment. currently tourism makes up 35% of the canaries economy . 14 of the canaries economy. 14 million people visiting in 2023, six times more than the island's population. >> tiktok is one step closer to being banned in the united states , following a vote in the states, following a vote in the us congress overnight, as part of the £49 billion aid package. tiktok could be banned unless the social media apps chinese owner doesn't sell its stake in

the business. the fbi has warned that tiktok owner bytedance could share user data such as browsing history, location and biometric identifiers with china's government. >> a record number of people will take part in the london marathon today. more than 50,000 will race through the capital, raising money for charity kicks off at 10:00 this morning and will be catching up with our very own christopher hope pretty shortly as he warms up for the . race. >> now the labour party has vowed to crack down on crime as figures obtained under the freedom of information act have shown charges for shoplifting have fallen by around 16% since 2018. >> well, the shadow home secretary, yvette cooper, has pledged that a labour government will get tougher on anti—social behaviour with new respect , behaviour with new respect, orders to take on gangs and repeat offenders as well.

>> she's also pledged 13,000 neighbourhood police, police, community support officers and special constables to restore community safety . community safety. >> is this going to be enough? let's talk to former police officer oliver laurence, who joins us now. oliver, good to see you this morning. what do you of all of this? is it a you make of all of this? is it a step in the right direction or is direct order just is a risk direct orderjust going be a in the pan? going to be a flash in the pan? >> yeah. good morning stephen. good morning it's very good morning ellie. it's very interesting. announcement interesting. a huge announcement by opposition home secretary by the opposition home secretary yvette cooper announcing these additional powers legislation additional powers or legislation which will be coming through along with additional resources. now, announcement of now, the announcement of additional will always additional resources will always be any member of the be welcome to any member of the public. but we've got to look at the actual particular problem now anti—social behaviour. they're more than 32 they're already more than 32 pieces of legislation, acts, regulations on policy and procedure allowing police officers to deal with anti—social behaviour. so more legislation , more policy, more legislation, more policy, more procedure isn't going to fix it. i would argue that we've got

more than enough. with more than 32 pieces of legislation already out there. what we need is proper enforcement and proper execution of the legislation by our justice execution of the legislation by ourjustice system to make sure that we have penalties for people that commit these crimes in our communities. what do you make then, of the 13,000 suggested neighbourhood police , suggested neighbourhood police, pcsos and special constables to restore community safety? because i mean a lot of this surely is about old school policing isn't it. bobbies on the beat 100. >> and to be honest with you, pcsos have proven to be very successful in the past . but i do successful in the past. but i do truly believe for point now truly believe for a point now where need police officers, where we need police officers, police officers that have police officers that can have the of police the powers of arrest, police officers that have the power officers that can have the power officers that can have the power of interview and pcsos of interview and charge pcsos are very restricted in what they can do out on the streets and ultimately need a police officer to support them. so in my view, it's going to back it's going to have to come back to you say, bobbies to having, as you say, bobbies on beat. more police officer on the beat. more police officer numbers our communities, numbers in our communities, liaising community liaising with the community members be fed that members so they can be fed that intelligence we who are

intelligence so we know who are the individuals causing all the issues we take proper issues and we can take proper instructions. do these issues and we can take proper instructproperly. do these issues and we can take proper instructproperly. do we se an people properly. but we need an effective criminal justice system. need our courts to system. we need our courts to start sentencing people, and that putting people in that means putting people in prison. and our prisons are bursting seams. so we bursting at the seams. so we don't need investment don't need only investment at the also the enforcement stage. we also need the criminal justice need it at the criminal justice end, when we put in end, when we put people in prison who repeat offenders , prison who repeat offenders, which is the issue with all of this, isn't oliver? this, isn't it, oliver? >> because people can say what they like, make these promises and and, you know. and pledges and, you know. right. pretty good. right. all sounds pretty good. even they stick to their even if they stick to their word. the problem is we're not going see the impact of this going to see the impact of this for, what, 5 or 6 years? >> stephen. absolutely correct . >> stephen. absolutely correct. and what i think is frustrating the public at the moment is i can't remember a time where a chief constable came out and started publicly talking about how they're going to tackle crime. we've got more chief constables racing to get in front of microphone to front of a microphone to acknowledge forces. acknowledge their forces. institutionally then we institutionally racist. then we have racing to have chief constables racing to the microphone acknowledge the microphone to acknowledge there crime and there is an issue with crime and this is how they're going to

tackle it. you know, i don't know, i'm concerned know, and i'm quite concerned what rowley and damian what sir mark rowley and damian owens been doing the owens have been doing for the past couple years in london, past couple of years in london, because don't think city because i don't think the city is any safer than when they came into so need to have into power. so we need to have a change of thought around what we're supposed be doing, how we're supposed to be doing, how we're supposed to be doing, how we're to enact that. we're going to enact on that. and need discipline and we need discipline and enforcement going enforcement and what is going on generally. enforcement and what is going on geroliver, shoplifting in >> oliver, with shoplifting in this we're talking this country. we're talking about yesterday, weren't a about it yesterday, weren't we a thousand a thousand incidents a day happening this country? happening in this country? and then today we've got these these stats out. charges are down 16% ellie. >> we just don't have the resources to deal with the magnitude of the problem. you know, sadly, since 2014, as we've seen ridiculous cuts which were enforced by theresa may, which has really not allowed chief constable and senior officers around the table to deploy resources effectively . deploy resources effectively. and we're watching a problem which has crept up on us. the point we're at now where we have a problem which is absolutely out of control across the country side, and you can't have a officer to a police officer respond to a theft. can't an online

theft. you can't an online fraud. you know, these are all significant challenges that community until significant challenges that con see nity until significant challenges that consee proper until significant challenges that consee proper funding until we see proper funding allocation, until we see proper recruitment, that includes the retention of the staff we've already got, these problems are only going to intensify. it is a real worry and chief constables and senior officers need to get and senior officers need to get a grip on it so the community can feel reassured that the police an effective fighting police are an effective fighting force . force. >> okay, oliver, great to see you. you very indeed. you. thank you very much indeed. i think i agree with him on that one. i do think sometimes as we talk about it's all about more resources and you hear it with the nhs and things you've got and you say, well, i think there needs to be some reform at least, as well as as well as more resources with the police. it to be get more out it just seems to be get more out there. i mean, know you look there. i mean, i know you look at what's going on in london at the there's some the minute. there's some attitudes need to change in the way the policing needs way the policing is done needs to most us up to change. but for most of us up and the country, you just and down the country, you just need more people there. more need more people out there. more bobbies the beat. bobbies on the beat. >> because it's not

>> exactly. because it's not working at the moment, it? working at the moment, is it? quite clearly something quite clearly so. something needs will have needs to be done. you will have a that, do you? let us a view on that, do you? let us know what you think. gb news commr say if you take a look at the now. oh with another the weather now. oh with another ellie, not me. >> you double, double job. >> you're in an ellie sandwich this morning. >> hooray! >> hooray! >> glaisyer . >> is ellie glaisyer. >> is ellie glaisyer. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news . news. news. news. >> good morning. welcome to your latest gb news. weather from the met office. high pressure is still sticking around through the rest of today. however, we will see some patchy rain in places, particularly across parts scotland. quite cloudy places, particularly across part damp:otland. quite cloudy places, particularly across part damp start|d. quite cloudy places, particularly across part damp start here. ite cloudy places, particularly across part damp start here. this.oudy and damp start here. this morning. the best of the sunshine across southeastern parts england , northern parts of england, northern ireland western scotland. parts of england, northern irgood western scotland. parts of england, northern irgood day western scotland. parts of england, northern irgood day if'estern scotland. parts of england, northern irgood day if you're scotland. parts of england, northern irgood day if you're running!. parts of england, northern irgood day if you're running the a good day if you're running the london marathon with a light northwesterly but northwesterly breeze but generally through generally staying dry through much day. that and much of the day. that cloud and rain eastern parts of rain across eastern parts of scotland will slowly its scotland will slowly sink its way southwards. we go through scotland will slowly sink its way restthwards. we go through scotland will slowly sink its wayrest ofvards. we go through scotland will slowly sink its way rest of the s. we go through scotland will slowly sink its way rest of the day, we go through scotland will slowly sink its

>> oh. welcome back. we're going to go through the sport now . are to go through the sport now. are very manly. >> yes. oh. very good, i am. oh, are . are. >> he's very manly. your voice is breaking all over again. do you remember that hayden voice breaking. oh, it was 92 for me. >> oh, just perfect timing . >> oh, just perfect timing. >> oh, just perfect timing. >> it's the. it's the worst thing ever. have sympathy for teenage boys. because when you've got this all the time i remember it awful younger brother . brother. >> we were the bus station on the way home from school and he said hello to a friend of mine who's in my year, and my friend just like jumped back. almost. is it? >> hello? yeah, exactly. >> hello? yeah, exactly. >> i said, no changes because you start a fight or something. >> anyway away from you start a fight or something. >> from anyway away from you start a fight or something. >> from allinyway away from you start a fight or something. >> from all these' away from you start a fight or something. >> from all these thingsfrom you start a fight or something.

>> from all these things tom away from all these things to the football and manchester city. >> they're through and somebody's voice definitely has not broken. pep guardiola in not broken. is pep guardiola in fact, he's sounding like a broken record at the moment. he said. it's unacceptable that his side played cup semi—final side played an fa cup semi—final so after . they're playing so soon after. they're playing against real madrid in a mammoth semi—final the champions semi—final of the champions league on wednesday, which they lost on penalties after a44 aggregate draw. now they won yesterday. a bit yesterday. they're a bit fortunate. chelsea missed hell fortunate. chelsea missed a hell of chances. nicolas of a lot of chances. nicolas jackson, the main the main culprit. there was var culprit. there was also var shout against against as shout against against city as well, was waved away, well, which was waved away, which of should have which sort of should have seen or possibly have seen or possibly should have seen chelsea a penalty. chelsea being awarded a penalty. but all about but afterwards it was all about the we talked at the schedule. now, we talked at length week, haven't length this week, haven't we, about cup replays, and it about fa cup replays, and it just to me as if, i mean, just seems to me as if, i mean, i try not to be cynical about these things, but pep guardiola says afterwards the schedule is, is manic and he said that we shouldn't playing on a shouldn't be playing on a saturday when manchester united are why couldn't are playing today. why couldn't man at wembley man united play at wembley yesterday give us extra yesterday to give us the extra day's to today? and day's rest to play today? and it's as simple as that. you

it's not as simple as that. you can't arrange travel, you can't have tickets month have fans buying tickets a month ago saying, ago and then suddenly saying, well, city have got well, you know, city have got a game on on wednesday. therefore let's man united game let's bring the man united game forward. just not as simple forward. it's just not as simple as with transport as that with transport logistics. half the time logistics. i mean, half the time these are on strike these trains are on strike anyway then have anyway and then fans have to book, book, book, book, hotels have to book, book, travel, not as travel, etc. so it's not as simple as just changing it round. but his quotes were quite were steve. and he were quite strong steve. and he said, i just don't understand how survived. it's how we survived. it's unacceptable play unacceptable to let us play today. for the today. it's impossible for the health players. it's health of the players. it's not normal . now. the reason health of the players. it's not normal. now. the reason i health of the players. it's not normal . now. the reason i say normal. now. the reason i say this might be homogenised across the arsenal this might be homogenised across the then arsenal this might be homogenised across the then weighed arsenal this might be homogenised across the then weighed in arsenal manager then weighed in afterwards i agree afterwards and said, i agree with can't have a team with pep, you can't have a team that hasn't played for seven days days before and days or three days before and has more, recovery time. has more, more recovery time. it's it's almost as it's not right. it's almost as if they're on message together to quell argument. to try and quell this argument. that's during the that's been going on during the week cup replays week about the fa cup replays and demands that makes on and the demands that makes on the schedule, because they've seen minister weigh in seen the prime minister weigh in on it, they've seen the leader of the opposition on of the opposition weigh in on it as looks like as well. and it looks like they're trying seize some they're trying to seize some ground, of a power grab.

ground, a bit of a power grab. in terms the debate, it looks in terms of the debate, it looks a bit fishy to me, but nonetheless, manchester united are in action afternoon are in action this afternoon against are in action this afternoon agaokay. are in action this afternoon agaandy. are in action this afternoon agaand arsenal are at top >> and arsenal are at the top are they. yes. >> went to the top. >> they went back to the top. now this is last sunday. last sunday we were talking about this way, this triumvirate this three way, this triumvirate of a battle top of the of a battle at the top of the premier league that we've been talking in weeks. talking about in recent weeks. one didn't one thing we probably didn't go in enough last week in on much enough on last week was we thought that was pressure. we thought that liverpool would crystal liverpool would beat crystal palace didn't. palace comfortably. they didn't. they one home. we they lost one nil at home. we thought arsenal aston thought arsenal would be aston villa, home. villa, comfortably at home. they didn't. two nil. didn't. they lost two nil. so that two defeats. hands that was two defeats. that hands the to manchester the initiative to manchester city. to go to city. so arsenal had to go to wolves and get wolves yesterday and get a result. friend yesterday, result. our friend yesterday, the year old get off the 15 year old didn't get off the 15 year old didn't get off the yesterday. oh didn't the bench yesterday. oh didn't he. so he may well have he. yeah. so he may as well have stayed friday. he. yeah. so he may as well have stayoh friday. he. yeah. so he may as well have stayoh a friday. he. yeah. so he may as well have stayoh a shame.. he. yeah. so he may as well have staybut a shame.. he. yeah. so he may as well have staybut we'll a shame.. he. yeah. so he may as well have staybut we'll get1ame.. he. yeah. so he may as well have staybut we'll get his.3.. he. yeah. so he may as well have staybut we'll get his. his time >> but we'll get his. his time will but arsenal will come. but arsenal won two nil. they go back the to the nil. they go back to the to the top league. and although top of the league. and although they concede some points with city in the city still they still are in the bump think arsenal did bump seat. i think arsenal did as they could yesterday. bump seat. i think arsenal did as then they could yesterday. bump seat. i think arsenal did as then city|ey could yesterday. bump seat. i think arsenal did as then city wereyuld yesterday. bump seat. i think arsenal did as then city wereyul> i'll find out someone else, sonthey're somebody. >> they're playing somebody. yeah, they're playing somebody.

>> don't worry. all right. what have got today? what's have we got today? well, what's happening have we got today? well, what's haps01ing have we got today? well, what's hapso city are playing man >> so city are playing man united 330. the guy united on at 330. now the guy who coventry, mark who manages coventry, mark robins. who's robins. he's the guy who's widely back in january widely credited back in january 1990 alex 1990 with saving sir alex ferguson's alex ferguson's job. sir alex ferguson's job. sir alex ferguson trophy in ferguson hadn't won a trophy in his at his first four years at manchester to manchester united. he goes to nottingham forest january nottingham forest in january 1990 needing a win. mark robins gets a key header against a great nottingham forest side and that sets them up to win that trophy. went on win trophy. they went on to win multiple premier league multiple trophies premier league domestically we domestically and in europe as we know, often seen as know, and so he's often seen as this pivotal figure. and there he is today. this is our football. strange football can be against manchester be lining up against manchester united today . if united if he wins today. if a coventry who knows if eric ten hag survive in a job all hag will survive in a job all these years later, 34 years on. and it's amazing how the poetry just swings around the wheel just swings around in the wheel of oh, very nicely put. i could >> oh, very nicely put. i could have made it rhyme, i suppose, couldn't i, but can i have a word about this? this snooker player? yeah. pretzel. tell us. because he. yeah. he lost two, ten nine yesterday against david gilbert. gilbert. right. he's defending but said defending champion. but he said

afterwards throat afterwards he had a throat infection. but he's also more generally forward to not generally looking forward to not being world champion with all the demands that go with it. now i just to give you an i just want to give you an insight to what sort year insight as to what sort of year that brezzo had at that luca brezzo has had at belgian. won £500,000 last, belgian. he won £500,000 last, last may for winning the world title. he promptly spent it and we can see a picture of this. he's promptly spent it, spent half it a red ferrari , half of it on a red ferrari, which i think we'll see. >> oh, there you go. well, it's a beautiful car, great car. >> if you want to avoid the >> but if you want to avoid the limelight, the car you limelight, is that the car you would really. would choose? not really. >> no. >> no. >> i've got well, wasn't the >> i've got well, it wasn't the only bought because he only car he bought because he spent a on spent £111,000 on a on a porsche, and he spent £75,000 on a range rover sport. he also visited 14 countries in four months. he went to marbella with the arsenal striker, his compatriot leonardo leandro trossard, and he went to la to meet the rapper game. so it doesn't really strike the profile of somebody who isn't comfortable in the limelight. i don't know whether you agree with that. maybe i'm being a bit cynical.

>> he doesn't seem to shy , know >> he doesn't seem to shy, know he's enjoyed some fine dining and on some weight as and he's put on some weight as well. >> el!- e that's his his >> he said no, that's his his words, not mine. nonetheless, he he's out yesterday ronnie o'sullivan's action o'sullivan's in action on wednesday. selby in action wednesday. mark selby in action today alongside judd trump. we're decent we're getting some decent stories out of the snooker. it's becoming little more becoming a little bit more showbiz, bit like darts. >> yeah. well brilliant >> yeah. oh well brilliant stuff aiden. little aiden. we'll see you a little bit on. you very much. >> now do you stay with us? we're going going through we're going to be going through the next with emma woolf we're going to be going through the andy next with emma woolf we're going to be going through the andy jones with emma woolf

see you both. that's a new one. it is. yes. >> combo like crime fighters. yeah >> or like a good pizza, emma, let's have a look at the sunday telegraph. should we end it? suella braverman not one to keep quiet, not one to keep quiet. >> former home secretary is weighing in on this row. so this is last saturday's one of the ongoing pro—palestinian rallies in london. when gideon falter was crossing a road in central london. he was crossing aldwych on his way back from synagogue , on his way back from synagogue, and he was approached by the police. and he was told that just there, just his just being there, just his presence, being jewish, presence, being openly jewish, as it , was presence, being openly jewish, as it, was somehow a as they put it, was somehow a provocation, a sort of possibly even an antagonism, possibly even an antagonism, possibly even cause for arrest. this is all blown up and many people have have highlighted the fact that the police have not necessarily been the most evenhanded in this, that they have tended to. well, people are even saying, look, let's be honest, that there's institutional anti—semitism in this article. that's what people are talking about . so suella are talking about. so suella braverman is saying that the met chief and this is this is the

end of lots of met met scandals. this isn't just, you know, just happened.the this isn't just, you know, just happened. the she's saying that sir mark rowley, the met chief, should quit . she's talking about should quit. she's talking about the disrespectful handling of jews at the at the rallies. she says too much fear and even more favouritism is the is seen in the policing of pro—palestinian protests and gideon falter says which i think is really powerful. he says london is becoming a no go zone. even a police enforced jew free zone, which is incredibly sad for 2024 and yet is what many people are feeling as jews. they are feeling as jews. they are feeling that they are not welcome , certainly not safe, but welcome, certainly not safe, but not welcome on the streets. he wasn't even a counter protester. he wasn't even there. he was literally just going about his business with wearing a kippah , business with wearing a kippah, wearing his skull cap, i thought it was really powerful , it was really powerful, actually, reading his article that he's penned in the times this morning saying that if we are no longer welcome on the

streets of london, it is the end of the world, because people were saying to him, is it really the end of the world if you can't cross street can't cross the street on a saturday? well, it is, he says, just being who is, just for being who he is, you know, view. >> w e the article in the >> yeah. and the article in the times that the gentleman writes, and he is a really moving article, he talks about how people masks, people with face masks, balaclavas can be covered with pointing at him, shouting scum and sorts other things and all sorts of other things that can't say on air. and the that i can't say on air. and the police interest was moving police sole interest was moving him obviously not him away. obviously not necessarily because they wanted to arrest him for his own protection. the police are saying it's easy to move an individual away for their own protection to arrest people protection than to arrest people for we for breaking the law, and we have situation britain have a situation in britain which is which true. which is which is true. >> mean , it's to try and try >> i mean, it's to try and try and look at the other side, because that's what we've got to do in some respects. if you're saying i'm worried for your safety, yeah, that's what it was. >> yeah. but i'm worried for your safety. >> you're probably better off not here. it's a threat of not being here. it's a threat of arrest. and the slightly odd

arrest. and is the slightly odd thing. and it's certainly not right. >> but we're reaching a point where the police are having to manage situations not on the bafis manage situations not on the basis of rule and law, but on keeping social because keeping social order because they simply don't have enough police to manage these large organisations. >> this, this pro—palestinian protest, the police said to him, this is a pro—palestinian march. i'm not accusing you of anything, but i'm worried about the reaction of your presence. if we're in a position where somebody can't walk the somebody can't walk down the street with yarmulke on street with a yarmulke on because inflame because it might inflame situations , that's that's an situations, that's that's an astonishing thing for the police to and that's from a to admit. and that's from a frontline police officer who i daresay just trying do daresay was just trying to do the thing. think the right thing. i don't think this police officer a foaming this police officer is a foaming anti—semite in trying to keep disorder. are creating disorder. we are creating a situation where certain groups of people are allowed to do absolutely they want absolutely whatever they want wear balaclavas, wave flags, lock building, prevent people from going about their daily business, preventing businesses from opening because it's easier to allow to do that than to to allow them to do that than to inform than to enforce law. and we simply don't. it's not we

don't need more laws. we need enough police officers so that we can enforce the law as it is, because the police officers themselves members of because the police officers the|publics members of because the police officers the|publics completely)ers of because the police officers the|publics completely unable the public are completely unable to have a law abiding society. as stands, andy, let's stay as it stands, andy, let's stay with you, shall we? >> and look at the telegraph front page well. this is front page as well. but this is a totally different we a totally different story. we must flinch from flying the must not flinch from flying the saint george's says saint george's flag, says sir keir starmer. >> , flag waving of >> yeah, flag waving of a different kind, a slightly more positive variety , sir keir positive variety, sir keir starmer says we must celebrate saint george's day with enthusiasm . he reintroduced, of enthusiasm. he reintroduced, of course, the national national anthem being sung at party conferences for the labour party in 2022. he now says that we must be waving the flag at labour events. we must be seeing embracing saint george's day with enthusiasm , and we must be with enthusiasm, and we must be singing the national with singing the national anthem with enthusiasm at labour events. however, the fact he however, the very fact that he has say this sort of has to even say this sort of thing would suggest there is a little bit of a problem within the party in terms of the labour party in terms of embracing identity embracing our national identity and we had david lammy a few

weeks ago talking about the fact that was astonished that some that he was astonished that some laboun that he was astonished that some labour, labour mps wanted to remove the british flag. english flag on party leaflets because it didn't go down well in certain communities. >> he was astonished. was he? >> he was astonished. was he? >> well, astonished, but >> well, he was astonished, but he said that he was rather annoyed he had say annoyed that he had to say actually, in running actually, maybe in running for government should government in britain we should have but have the british flag on. but i agree with i mean, we only had, >> oh, lord. what's her name? emily thornberry . we talked emily thornberry. we talked about this just a few weeks ago, but it's not that long ago. she was mocking people with the with the saint george's flag outside hanging out the window. >> yes. pakistan was talking about the times when he felt proudest to be british, and one was belting three lions was belting out three lions at wembley, him, and wembley, according to him, and another time reaching the another time was reaching the peak pike, england's peak of scafell pike, england's highest point with mother. highest point with his mother. >> obviously you >> so he's obviously been, you know, carefully briefed on what could be really englishy things that that won't inflame that won't, that won't inflame anybody, that won't kind of antagonise the scots and the welsh. this is him really going.

i mean, labour are going for it aren't they. they're really they're another, in they're trying to in another, in another papers , another part of the papers, they're trying to single out the over fence off over 65 to sort of fence off that themselves. now that vote for themselves. now they're going for people who are deeply don't deeply patriotic. they don't want any quarter on want to leave any quarter on unchallenged in the run up. >> yeah. absolutely. right. i think it's interesting that the telegraph of interview, keir sir keir starmer varne put this interview on the front page, and it seems to be quite a positive message from sir keir starmer that's got the front page of that's got on the front page of the and think the telegraph. and i think that's interesting. that's quite interesting. >> do you think be >> do you think we should be more patriotic saint more patriotic with saint george's tuesday? more patriotic with saint geccertainly. tuesday? more patriotic with saint geccertainly. yeah.esday? more patriotic with saint geccertainly. yeah. i;day? more patriotic with saint geccertainly. yeah. i don't >> certainly. yeah. i don't think people knew think most people even knew it was george's on was saint george's day on tuesday. all tuesday. i know there's all sorts stuff saint sorts of stuff about saint george in english, george wasn't even in english, british whatever. british and all this whatever. but need a stronger but i think we need a stronger sense national identity. i'm but i think we need a stronger sen sayingational identity. i'm but i think we need a stronger sen sayingation it identity. i'm but i think we need a stronger sen sayingation it has1tity. i'm but i think we need a stronger sen sayingation it has to y. i'm but i think we need a stronger sen sayingation it has to be'm but i think we need a stronger sen sayingation it has to be one not saying that it has to be one thing or another, think thing or another, but i think having set of values, a having a shared set of values, a shared of beliefs broadly shared set of beliefs broadly speaking, i welcome the sort of multicultural, multi—ethnic, multicultural, multi—ethnic, multi everything else britain doesn't mean i can't celebrate being exactly. i think we have

to have a shared central values. yeah, don't it's a very yeah, i don't it's a very bizarre. there's another story in with an unwritten in the times with an unwritten an unnamed piece from a british teacher asked how many teacher who said asked how many people in this in this classroom hate britain? and 30 kids put their hand up. i think we've their hand up. and i think we've got bizarre sort of thing got this bizarre sort of thing where told to britain where we're told to hate britain and and talk and hate ourselves and not talk about not wave about britishness, not wave flags, think flags, not sing songs. i think it's absurd . it's absurd. >> yeah. no, i would agree. i think we shouldn't feel ashamed of being proud of our country. >> and that's what i've felt over that you over recent years that you somehow, you're, somehow, you know, you're, you're borders racism you're on the borders of racism or xenophobia. are proud or xenophobia. if you are proud of think that you of britain and think that you know , british values or being know, british values or being engush know, british values or being english being of english and being proud of england well are somehow england as well are somehow worth upholding, because that doesn't that, andy says , doesn't mean that, as andy says, it doesn't mean you don't it doesn't mean that you don't welcome all faiths and welcome people of all faiths and none all different cultures. none, all different cultures. absolutely. but, you know, you see you see it in nurseries see it. you see it in nurseries and schools and this of and schools and this kind of apologetic ness about celebrating what are our cultures and traditions . cultures and traditions. >> yeah, it's very it's very odd, can we have a look at this

intrigues me. it's in the sunday telegraph. emma about the iron dome, because we're talking once we were talking to mark francois. oh, mark. francois who was on the defence select committee saying, you know, the defence select committee, which is cross party, of course. yeah have called for an iron dome system, but it's trying to get the trying to get it financed. yeah. and penny mordaunt's joined the calls for that. >> yeah, and this is being seen as her sort of on manoeuvres. this is sort of a bid for a tory leadership. yeah, and she leadership. yeah, and it's she is former defence secretary, is a former defence secretary, but this is not normally within her she's of the her brief. she's head of the house of commons, but she's calling basically this calling she it's basically this is since the iran missile attack, the drone and missile attack, the drone and missile attack, but launched by iran against israel . a lot of against israel. a lot of response to that. and she's now saying, you know, would would britain be able to defend itself in the same way she's saying that she's publicly urging rishi sunak spending on sunak to increase spending on defence, calling it a duty to our and many people our citizens and many people have been saying in recent weeks

and months, but, you and recent months, but, you know, just not prepared know, we are just not prepared for the level of the for the level of threat, the global instability at the moment. how would we be in this position , penny mordaunt says to position, penny mordaunt says to those that say about defence those that say about our defence ambitions, can't do it. we ambitions, we can't do it. we shouldn't do it. can't afford shouldn't do it. we can't afford it, i say, look to it, she says. i say, look to israel, nation a fraction of it, she says. i say, look to isra size nation a fraction of it, she says. i say, look to isra size thaton a fraction of it, she says. i say, look to isra size that has fraction of it, she says. i say, look to isra size that has staved1 of it, she says. i say, look to isra size that has staved off an our size that has staved off an attack from a nation ten times its size . you know, what would its size. you know, what would we do in that position? and we are simply not equipped for are just simply not equipped for that level threat. that kind of level of threat. >> and not just about >> sure. and it's not just about investment. about investment. it's also about efficiency and competence. as we've on this programme in we've seen on this programme in recent months. we talked about billions being spent on tanks that can't fire on move, that can't fire on the move, money spent on trident. and yet when we did a test launch of missiles the other week, we almost fired the missile at ourself and then fired at an ourself and then fired it at an accidentally america. i mean, accidentally at america. i mean, it's my issue it's not necessarily my issue with having an iron dome would be done with private be it'll be done with private finance , it'll done finance, it'll be done with private there'll be private companies. there'll be about companies private companies. there'll be about on companies private companies. there'll be about on it. companies private companies. there'll be about on it. and ompanies private companies. there'll be about on it. and we'llnies private companies. there'll be about on it. and we'll have an working on it. and we'll have an iron that accidentally iron dome that accidentally fires or fires missiles at ourself or something ridiculous. the

something ridiculous. and the second and iron dome doesn't discussed and iron dome doesn't protect if can't protect protect you if you can't protect your borders. has very, your borders. israel has very, very borders. they know very strong borders. they know who's they who's who's going in. they know who's going before going out. previously, before october the 7th. anyway, with britain, position where britain, that position where people can just literally float on and then and walk on a dinghy and then and walk into , iron dome is not into britain, iron dome is not going protect is it? going to protect you, is it? because can just load up because you can just load up whatever attack, terror whatever sort of attack, terror threat, on a threat, missiles, bombs on a boat and float it over? if your border is porous and iron dome does not protect you, well, yes , does not protect you, well, yes, that's an interesting point. >> i never thought of it like that. so we've got organisational efficiency and investment britain. >> when it comes to defence. >> when it comes to defence. >> even if we did get an iron dome, it's how many years would it to put into place? it take to put into place? >> exactly. it take to put into place? >> it'll exactly. it take to put into place? >> it'll be exactly. it take to put into place? >> it'll be a xactly. it take to put into place? >> it'll be a long(. it take to put into place? >> it'll be a long time. it'd be a huge huge program. yeah. a huge a huge program. yeah. >> mean huge investment as well. >> yeah. there's a sense >> yeah. i think there's a sense that do need to boost that they do need to boost defence but the defence spending, but also the home office as well. i mean the foreign office, the home office. so many things just not fit for purpose at the moment. i think we're end 14

we're coming to the end of 14 years of underinvestment and mismanagement, and it feels very, very tired very very, very tired and very broken. your broken. i mean, if your immigration system doesn't work, deportation doesn't mean deportation. be getting deportation. we may be getting flights off the ground to rwanda. ha ha. 200 people. rwanda. ha ha ha. 200 people. maybe we've backlog maybe when we've got a backlog of thousands and thousands of people who have had their asylum claims down and need to claims turned down and need to be leaving the country. thank you much. be leaving the country. thank youyeah much. be leaving the country. thank youyeah .nuch. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> well, that us on very >> well, that leads us on very nicely express front page nicely to the express front page . a&e migrant flights are ready .a&e migrant flights are ready to take off. >> yeah. been ready to >> yeah. they've been ready to take i mean it's not a, it's not the aren't problem . the flights aren't the problem. it's legality getting it's the legality of getting them of their them in and out of their country. you know, the country. and you know, the government talking about government is talking about they are hand are looking forward to hand picking the first 200 passengers to leave if, if and they always have the big word if the government's flagship bill clears parliament on monday. well, but again, they have this other problem of legally they get these bills passed and then there'll be a legal intervention to stop the bill. there'll be a legal intervention because lawyers, be lawyers, as ever, there'll be this sort arms race to try this sort of arms race to try and create a situation that

overlooks bill for overlooks the bill for individual cases where their human be have to be human rights will be have to be considered . and then you have considered. and then you have the problem people the secondary problem of people on flights , and on board these flights, and they're always commercial on board these flights, and they're after's commercial on board these flights, and they're after's cowhere ial flights, after all, where passengers then try and stop the plane from taking off. there's a situation where air france staff stopped a flight taking off because disagreed with the because they disagreed with the a passenger on board being deported. mean , we have to deported. i mean, we have to have a situation where the government complete control have a situation where the gothisment complete control have a situation where the gothis ,|ent complete control have a situation where the gothis , both complete control have a situation where the gothis , both legally.)lete control have a situation where the gothis , both legally. and control of this, both legally. and also why putting these why are they putting these people on commercial flights anyway? you know, i mean, if we if us all of these if it's costing us all of these hundreds millions of pounds hundreds of millions of pounds to people country, to keep people in the country, surely commercial surely having non commercial flightsthey actually control where they can actually control one the flight takes off to one when the flight takes off to who's and three where who's on it, and three where it's to land. yes, it's going to land. but yes, whether you agree with the rwanda or not, we've spent rwanda bill or not, we've spent hundreds of pounds hundreds of millions of pounds out there now, we haven't out there now, and we haven't even anybody, and don't out there now, and we haven't even seeminybody, and don't out there now, and we haven't even seem to body, and don't out there now, and we haven't even seem to have and don't out there now, and we haven't even seem to have control don't out there now, and we haven't even seem to have control of)n't even seem to have control of whether can or whether people can leave or stay. >> oh, it's such a farce. >>— >> oh, it's such a farce. >> i mean, we are beyond fast now. we don't actually have any airlines confirmed because airlines confirmed because

apology went on to say our officers will continue to police with courage, empathy and impartiality. but the problem, of course, is that there's plenty of people think that they're not policing with impartiality. so we've got the former secretary suella former home secretary suella braverman, saying sir mark rowley . so, sir mark rowley should go. so, sir mark rowley should go. so, sir mark rowley has been summoned to see the policing minister next week because he says he's very concerned the deputy prime minister oliver dowden, has said about the jewish community, it's hard to think of any other minority that would be treated as disrespectfully as jews seem to be. but he has gone on to say that the police have a hugely difficult job, and indeed they do policing these protests. >> i mean, the issue is, though, with this and what is worrying is he says, we will continue to police well , they don't appear police well, they don't appear to be doing it in the first place. >> well, yes , precisely. and >> well, yes, precisely. and i would say i mean, i've been at a lot these protests. i was at lot of these protests. i was at

a pro—israel protest yesterday day, members of the jewish community, a few dozen, singing , community, a few dozen, singing, chanting, waving banners saying we will not be cowed . there was we will not be cowed. there was a small pro—palestine protest on the other side of the road , but the other side of the road, but the other side of the road, but the members of the jewish community hugely outnumbered them. but that is very unusual because week after week we see tens of thousands of people marching in central london and, you know, the, the, the from the river to the sea, palestine shall be free, which many jews think is deeply anti—semitic . think is deeply anti—semitic. you can pick those up. the socialist worker print banners saying that, and there are hundreds of people marching through london with that on a banner , and the police don't do banner, and the police don't do anything. what i would say, though , is, you know, it is hard though, is, you know, it is hard for the police because there's not very many of them. there's huge numbers of protesters. and this chap was filmed on the same day with another policeman

saying to him, look , the problem saying to him, look, the problem is there's so many of them. if you are attacked, there's not enough of us to keep you safe. so i think that is what is behind it. but of course, jewish people, indeed anybody should be to free walk through the capital city at any time. of course. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i mean, we were talking yesterday, weren't we, catherine, about the anti —extremism catherine, about the anti—extremism tsar and his message ago now, message about a month ago now, saying some parts of saying that some parts of central london had become a no go zone for jews. and it struck me, gideon falter, writing in the morning , saying the times this morning, saying that that which has that not only that which has been but it's been said previously, but it's now a police enforced jew free zone. >> yes. precisely because the policeman effectively said to him, you need to go away because you are openly jewish. otherwise we may have to arrest you. i mean, i think the threat of arrest for simply walking around would be particularly offensive . would be particularly offensive. and lord walney, who's an independent adviser and for political violence to the government, he has said he

next. now drivers in wales may not have to adhere to the 20 mile per hour speed limit on some roads, with a few reverting back to 30mph. >> yes. >> yes. >> quite. how many ? we don't >> quite. how many? we don't know yet. the welsh government expected to announce changes to the that saw wales become the law that saw wales become the law that saw wales become the country the uk to the first country in the uk to adopt the speed limit in built up practically everywhere here. >> yes, well, we're now joined by welsh conservative shadow minister for education tom giffard and motor expert adrian mills. very good to see you both. this morning. let's start with you, tom. this was controversial in the first place, wasn't it? what do you make of this u—turn on some roads? >> you're right. this was a really controversial piece of legislation, the most controversial in the history of welsh devolution. nearly half a million people signing a petition against the changes. that's roughly 1 in 6 people

here in wales. and the reason they signed it is because it was, you know, adopted in this kind of blanket approach, whether it made in local whether it made sense in local communities or not, you know, that was adopted now , i welcome that was adopted now, i welcome the fact that the welsh government are rowing back on some these changes. but, you some of these changes. but, you know, the of cardiff know, the leader of cardiff council week that council said this week that materially it would be about six roads in the whole city of cardiff. that would change as a result the changes welsh result of the changes the welsh government to announce government are going to announce this the problem is, this week and the problem is, despite change the despite any change in the legislation , the default limit legislation, the default limit will still be 20 miles hour , will still be 20 miles an hour, adrian, what do you make of it all? >> well, it's interesting to hear what gentleman was just saying. there because it's. i always think the welsh are a bit like the french. they'll scream and shout and they'll go out and protest, english protest, whereas the english just go, oh, yeah, we'll suck it up you have to think up and see, you have to think with your head. yes. it's very good to sort of, you know, good to be sort of, you know, react with your heart and sort of oh yeah, need of go, oh yeah, yeah, we need 20 miles hour. 30 miles miles an hour. we need 30 miles

now. statistics say one now. but the statistics say one thing. you drive at 30 miles an houn thing. you drive at 30 miles an hour, and if you drive at 20 miles an hour, the difference is you are five times more likely to be killed in a car crash by the extra ten miles. so therefore, if you live in an area where there are, say , where area where there are, say, where idea, where there are children, old age pensioners, dogs, there's a stables with horses 20 miles an hour incredible miles an hour makes incredible sense. however, i do agree with that sense that governments and councils have gone for a blanket ban on so many roads that i was in a taxi. the other day and the guy said, look at this, it's 2:00 in the morning. i'm driving down a two mile road. used to be a road. there's nobody a roman road. there's nobody around , i'm 20. in around, but i'm doing 20. in fact, doing 18 miles an fact, i'm doing 18 miles an houn fact, i'm doing 18 miles an hour. i felt i could have got out and walked and been in bed by the time he parked outside my house. has be house. so there has to be sensible thought. >> was going to say, >> yeah. as i was going to say, adrian, it's a sense of needing common sense on this is it? >> yeah, we of course it's common i mean, to be

common sense. i mean, to be perfectly frank, i hate the fact on roads i have drive at on many roads i have to drive at 20 miles hour. but 20 miles an hour. but unfortunately, the law . unfortunately, that is the law. and if you look at the statistics in london, deaths are down by 25, collisions are down by 36% and collisions with children and adults where they haven't died may have gone to hospital or hopefully have been able to get up and walk away, are by 63. now can are down by 63. now you can argue yes , we want 30 miles an argue yes, we want 30 miles an hour across. and don't forget, sorry , i'm interrupting myself sorry, i'm interrupting myself here, but at 30 miles an hour, a lot of people drive beyond that. what you'd work on the assumption that at 20 miles assumption is that at 20 miles an hour, i suspect people drive an hour, i suspect people drive a bit over that. unless a little bit over that. unless they, of course, get picked up by police. and one thing it by the police. and one thing it does stops laying does is it stops them laying down what say sleeping down new. what they say sleeping policemen in the roads, which are . are always hideous. >> and tom adrian makes a good point there about safety , point there about safety, doesn't he? >> look, this policy is sensible in certain areas, you know, outside schools we've always supported, you know, the introduction of a 20 mile an

hour speed limit, for example, the reason the public haven't taken to this at all in wales, and there's the outcry that and there's been the outcry that you've seen is that there's been no with no consultation with communities. one of those communities. it's one of those decisions taken by bay decisions taken by cardiff bay and across the whole and implemented across the whole country. whether it makes sense in communities or not. you in those communities or not. you know, my view is local people, local communities and local councils their communities councils know their communities best should have the best and they should have the flexibility in most cases to be able decide , you know, where able to decide, you know, where those 20 mile an hour limits are most you can most appropriate and you can make without make those gains without alienating the public. >> well, look, gents, you pretty much agree with each other on that which is, which is nice. and we'll see what our viewers make of all of that. before i let you go, adrian, i've got to i've got to say to you, what is your secret? because it's been a while since i've seen you on telly. mean, enough to telly. i mean, i'm old enough to be fan that life back in be a fan of that life back in the day. you apart. apart from the day. you apart. apart from the fact that you've got a bit of. you've got a bit grey in the facial area, you don't look much different. >> do you know something? this

is really weird. my wife and i are restaurateurs now, and i still a little bit of media, still do a little bit of media, but came in the other but an agent came in the other day said, come office, day and said, come to my office, i'll you some work. i've had i'll get you some work. i've had three jobs because know now no three jobs because i know now no longer the juvenile lead. i am that greying granddad that old greying granddad figure. so that's life. >> well, that's life indeed. >> well, that's life indeed. >> you've still got it. good to see you both. this morning. thanks very much indeed. >> thank you very much. both of you. oh, you've made him blush. >> well, do you know what? >> well, do you know what? >> if you're old. >> that if you're old. >> that if you're old. >> you're old enough >> if you're old enough to remember. mean, life remember. i mean, that's life was an institution back then. of course. rantzen was in course. esther rantzen was in the big seat and then we had, we had adrian and there was a, there was a gavin in there somewhere . it was a great show. somewhere. it was a great show. they don't make telly like that anymore . anymore. >> really. had you reunion. >> really. had you reunion. >> lovely to see. he >> it was lovely to see. he hasn't really hs2 looks great. i don't know how old he is . he don't know how old he is. he looks great. years it's been looks great. 50 years it's been going. thereabouts. maybe going. oh, thereabouts. maybe even longer. >> where is he? showed on the >> where is he? showed me on the on that picture there. >> that picture there. >> that picture there. >> there he is. very

>> and at it the hole. >> and look at it in the hole. so 97, was a breath of so the 97, he was a breath of fresh air. when you think he was, you know, ten years later is another question. was, you know, ten years later is aand er question. was, you know, ten years later is aand if question. was, you know, ten years later is aand if you stion. was, you know, ten years later is aand if you those videos that >> and if you those videos that were running of 1997, when were just running of 1997, when tony blair and his wife cherie were going into the door of number 10, genuine excitement there, people waving their flags. oh, sense it. flags. oh, it was sense it. >> yeah, yeah, yeah, it was i mean national mood was good, mean the national mood was good, was very good at the time. 97. yeah, it was, but you know, it was , there you go. it's all was, there you go. it's all changed now, hasn't it? everything changes, right. let's have a look at the home secretary . oh, former home secretary. oh, former home secretary, i should say, and want to be prime minister i think it's fair to say suella braverman leading calls today for the metropolitan police chief, mark rowley, to quit over what she describes as a litany of failures in policing pro—palestinian marches. >> well, the latest scandal embroiling the met is the force's reaction after an officer used the terms openly jewish to describe an anti—semitism activist, gideon falter was stopped from crossing

a road near his synagogue, as a march was going by the officer said he wanted to stop him for his own safety because he was quite openly jewish. >> well, the force has since apologised twice. well, let's speak now with gb news political correspondent, katherine forster. good morning to you, catherine. and it's just going from bad to worse for the metropolitan police, isn't it? >> it really is. and the metropolitan police chief, sir mark rowley, issued yet another apology. that's three apology. i think that's three now. night , apology. i think that's three now. night, said now. last night, said i personally reiterate our apology, but went on to say our officers will continue to police with courage and empathy and impartiality. i think that last word, impartiality is what's critical here, because there's a lot of accusations that that is not happening. so we've had former home secretary suella braverman has come out today saying she feels the met police boss needs to quit. the deputy prime minister oliver dowden, has said that it's hard to think

of any other minority that would be treated as disrespectfully as jews seem to be. the chap that was involved in this incident, gideon falter, he's the head of the campaign against anti—semitism. he's written in the sunday times today, also saying that he thinks the met police boss needs to go. and the met police boss has been summoned to see the policing minister this week. so this row is not going away at all. >> in fact, is this a government issue though? is this down to sadiq khan? well, sadiq khan could sack him couldn't he. >> the, the home secretary and sadiq khan could , i have to say sadiq khan could, i have to say i think that is unlikely. sadiq khan could, i have to say i think that is unlikely . and in i think that is unlikely. and in fairness to the police, it's clear that this has been very , clear that this has been very, very badly handled. but the argument that the police would make and indeed made later to this chap in another video clip is they said, there's so many protesters and there's not very

many of us. the problem is that if you are attacked, we not they don't feel that they could keep him safe. and this is the issue because week after week, tens of thousands of pro—palestine protesters, yes, it's heavily policed , but still they are just policed, but still they are just trying to avoid trouble. and of course, what that means is that very often , they will say to very often, they will say to people, well, you know , just people, well, you know, just just go away, even though it means that people can't freely walk, jewish people increasingly feel that they can't freely walk in, in london on the days of these protests. and i personally i'm not jewish, but i've reported on a lot of these the last time i was there, three weeks ago, we'd just gone on air. people start shouting on a megaphone because they hate the channel afterwards, we went around the with police around the corner with police officers and they basically said to us, you need to go home for your own safety. there was no, it's okay. you can carry on. we'll stand around you. we'll protect you. it was you need to

go home for your own safety. so we couldn't do our job anymore, which just beggars belief, actually, as to what is going on. it's interesting because just as you were talking, dave got in touch and said. mark rowley makes cressida dick look competent and effective, which takes some doing, you do wonder if he just. i mean, there was all this great hope that he was going to come in and start to change things and reform things he does just doesn't seem to have happened. >> doesn't . and the >> it doesn't. and the metropolitan police be metropolitan police should be a beacon of how policing should be for the rest of the country , for the rest of the country, whereas it seems like it seems to be in more trouble than any other force because the pro—palestine marches, there's been huge amounts of controversy about this. but of course, going back we've had not just 1 or 2 bad apples, but hundreds of bad apples. sex scandals. you know, rapes, murders, etc. and there's

clearly root and branch overhaul needed, but you know, this is this is another aspect of the problems that the metropolitan police seem to be having, because it's not just the policing. >> and you you've outlined the challenges that the police have had every for saturday several months now. but it's also then the, the handling of when they do themselves into into hot do get themselves into into hot water because been the water because it's been the handung water because it's been the handling of this, it's almost made worse. yes. it made it worse. yes. and it doesn't seem be going away. doesn't seem to be going away. >> exactly. because the first i can't really call it an apology, but the first attempt to dig themselves out hole was but the first attempt to dig then basicallyt hole was but the first attempt to dig then basically t we've e was but the first attempt to dig then basicallyt we've seen! they basically said, we've seen a trend of people going alongside these protests filming themselves because of course, this chap was obviously filmed andifs this chap was obviously filmed and it's gone mad on social media. they must understand that doing that is provoking, and thatis doing that is provoking, and that is putting the blame. >> yeah. well, on the jewish, on the jewish gentleman who ought to be allowed. >> so, you know, it's no wonder

that robin simcox, you know, an adviser to the government said weeks ago london is becoming a no go area forjews on weeks ago london is becoming a no go area for jews on the weeks ago london is becoming a no go area forjews on the day no go area for jews on the day of these marches. i would say yesterday i was at a pro—israel march, not march. sorry stationary protest, in central london. there were dozens of people from the jewish community singing, waving banners, waving flags. there was a small pro—palestine protest on the other side of the road. the jewish community, the songs. it was very upbeat, totally outnumbered , the pro—palestinian outnumbered, the pro—palestinian lot. but that is very rare because week after week, tens of thousands of people on the streets of london and elsewhere through the uk, and the socialist worker prints placards saying from the river to the sea. palestine will be shall be free, which is very anti—semitic to many people. yes. and you can just go and help yourself. and there's dozens, hundreds of these placards because you know , these placards because you know, they're printed en masse. and, and the police don't act on that. but, you know, where do

you draw the line between freedom of speech, freedom of, you know . well, yeah. difficult, you know. well, yeah. difficult, interestingly, and thanks, catherine, christopher doyle has beenin catherine, christopher doyle has been in touch because one of the big issues here is about the safety of gideon falter . and was safety of gideon falter. and was the police officer just saying, as some of you have suggested. well, he's just looking for well, he's just looking out for his christopher says if his safety, christopher says if the policeman was concerned over gideon falter's safety, then he should have escorted him across the road if that's where he wanted to go . actually, i think wanted to go. actually, i think that's a really valid point. yeah rather than just saying you need to get out of here, you should have said, well, you know, it should have protected him , shouldn't he? him, shouldn't he? >> but then. interesting. i did see a view yesterday, which i won't be able to dig out now, but it's essentially saying, does gideon falter? expect for the officer to break rank the police officer to break rank and to personally escort him across the road in that set of circumstances, potentially putting both of them in danger?

so i don't know. there's two sides to that, isn't there? >> well, there is, there is. >> well, there is, there is. >> do you keep those views coming yeah coming in? yeah gbnews.com/yoursay there are loads gbnews.com/yoursay there are loa loads of you are getting in >> loads of you are getting in touch that one, right. the us touch on that one, right. the us house of representatives has finally approved that $61 billion aid package for ukraine. >> yes, democrats and republicans joined together after months of deadlock over renewed american support to help ukraine fend off russia's invasion . this was after some invasion. this was after some objected to sending money overseas instead of to the us—mexico border. >> well , us—mexico border. >> well, ukrainian president zelenskyy said he was grateful for the decision , which he said for the decision, which he said keeps history on the right track. >> meanwhile , moscow says the >> meanwhile, moscow says the passage of the bill would further ruin ukraine and result in more deaths. earlier, we spoke to the chair of republican overseas uk, greg swenson . overseas uk, greg swenson. >> what's the general consensus is that this is great news? wish it happened earlier. >> why was it being blocked ? >> why was it being blocked? >> why was it being blocked? >> i think it was being blocked

for good reason , many for good reason, many republicans wanted to tie this to the border. and contrary to popular belief, where, you to the border. and contrary to popular belief , where, you know, popular belief, where, you know, the argument was we need more money for the border . it wasn't money for the border. it wasn't actually money. and in the in the initial proposals had more funding for the border from the democrats. that's not the point . democrats. that's not the point. they could flip the switch and, and shut the border to a and shut down the border to a certain degree. so it as certain degree. so it wasn't as much the money going out the doon much the money going out the door. it's that the biden administration decided to open the border when he took over in early 21. so if they had just this could have happened . this this could have happened. this funding could have happened two months ago. if biden had agreed to shut down the border like it was closed during the trump administration. >> and yet, how does it fit within? i mean, i don't know about your personal view is, but for a lot of republicans who say we are fed up of being the world's policeman, yeah, there is element of the party. is that element of the party. >> there's an isolationist wing in republican party. it's in the republican party. it's relatively you that

relatively small. you saw that the majority of republicans, the great of republicans, great majority of republicans, voted all of the funding voted for all of the funding yesterday. it is this fringe kind of extreme element. it's not necessarily conservative. you know, sometimes you read, oh, the conservative wing of the party that's not the case. the conservative movement very conservative movement is very pro defence. you know, we endorse military spending. we endorse military spending. we endorse defence spending. biden has cut the budget in real terms by 2% for the last two years. that's dangerous at a time like this. so yes, there is this fringe wing and those are the ones that will probably or possibly file a motion to vacate on mike johnson, the speaker of the house, who really pushed this aid bill through. >> i mean, we've just heard from zelenskyy there who says he's very grateful. what do you think this means for ukraine and what message does it send to putin? >> well, it definitely sends a message that the us is willing to support the defence of ukraine. and this a good ukraine. and this is a good thing. and you know, even this is very reagan esque in many ways you know, the reagan

ways where you know, the reagan administration much administration was very much behind allies, behind behind our allies, behind democracies fighting for their freedom. you had proxy wars going on at that time in nicaragua , for example. and so nicaragua, for example. and so this is a way for the us to get ahead of it, right? we'd rather help ukraine defend itself now than have a bigger problem later. it's actually cost effective in many ways. >> of course, that also includes i mean, there's more money going to israel as a result of this. there's also money going to taiwan. >> that's right, that's right . >> that's right, that's right. and then and then the last element is the is forcing tiktok to be sold to an american owner. yes and that that was another priority. but you know, and that was bipartisan in in many ways. >> so tell us a bit more about this, this tiktok . sure. part of this, this tiktok. sure. part of what was going on yesterday. >> yes. the there is that that threat that tiktok, you know, being owned by the chinese, tied to the chinese, to the ccp as well as the prc, they say, you know, there's an argument that

thatis know, there's an argument that that is data and, and potential influence peddling that we just can't live with. and, you know, it's similar to, to restrictions on media ownership or television ownership by by foreign owners. and so this was important to again, it was for the most part bipartisan. and it's a great security risk to have the chinese owning that kind of data i >> -- >> it's 8:15. let's have a look at some of the other stories heading into the newsroom this morning . morning. >> and thousands of people have protested throughout the canary islands for a limit on islands calling for a limit on tourist arrivals. demonstrators are calling for a limit on tourist numbers and kerbs on development, which tourist numbers and kerbs on development , which they call development, which they call harmful for residents and the environment . currently, tourism environment. currently, tourism makes up 35% of the canaries economy, with 13.9 million tourists visiting in 2023, about six times more than the island's population of 2.2 million. >> now, as we just heard there

from greg swenson, tiktok is one step closer to being banned in the united states following a vote in the us congress , and it vote in the us congress, and it could be banned unless the social media apps chinese owner sells its stake in the business. the fbi has warned that the owner could share user data like browsing history and biometric information, and a record number of people will take part in the london marathon today. >> more than 50,000 people raced through the capital, raising money for charity, and the race kicks off at 10 am. >> but is it going to rain on them? well, that's the question. they wouldn't want it too hot. >> no, they wouldn't mind a bit of rain. no, it might not be a bad thing you want. i think you want a cloudy, mild day, do you? i think that's what you want. all right. not that i've ever run a marathon. not that i ever want neither you. want to. no, but neither do you. >> we're obviously experts in

this valley down by the water. it's very misty and sheltered six miles inland from the sea, and there is the perfect himalayan conditions for really high quality tea. you can't produce enough to compete with kenya and the huge tea producing countries , but it's fantastic countries, but it's fantastic tea and i think today your audience gb news audience should come and collect one of these on the house because your audience, i think, is the biggest tea drinking lot, and they're really welcome to support the charity here today . there's three here today. there's three charities and help make this not just the uk's largest garden opening for charity, but maybe the world's largest garden opening for charity. >> well, tell you what our >> well, i'll tell you what our lot will do. >> anything for a free tea bag, jonathan. that's that's that's fair. that's fair enough. >> so there's your invitation. if down in south if you're down in the south west, get yourself down to tregothnan you can get tregothnan and you can get yourselves one of lovely yourselves one of these lovely tea we've a few in the tea bags. we've got a few in the studio here, jonathan, because it our british it is part of our british culture, isn't it? it is a huge part of our british heritage to

enjoy a good cup of tea. >> it's the national drink and i do a weekly column for country life magazine and i think about it. tea and cake is the world's first and ultimate pairing, i would argue. so behind me today there will probably be 10,000 cups of tea served and goodness knows how many slices of cake we get. volunteers making cakes all night and tea and cake is just like peak civilisation. in fact, from about lunchtime today, there's a chinese television crew coming to film what they see as an english tea ceremony, which is basically us stuffing our faces with tea and cake. wow >> i tell you what, i hope you give them a slice , what? why is give them a slice, what? why is it that we. that we adopted it, though? i mean, obviously it's not traditionally ours. it's not it's not natively ours, is it? it was brought over way back when. >> no, you're right stephen. so the brits basically copied and took in the chinese national dnnk took in the chinese national drink about 400 years ago. it was made popular through royalty

and then it became more and more available and the british became master tea blenders. we were the home of the world tea trade. so we were like thomas lipton of lipton's fame. he became the world's first blender. and by the way, it's the whisky industry which was then copied the tea industry. so people say, oh, well, you know, everyone's blending and talking about the finest must have finest teas. it must have learned from whisky. it's learned that from whisky. it's actually other round. actually the other way round. and then all the trade came through london, and then we kind of lost our way a bit in the last 50 years because tea got a bit cheaper and, and less respected. tea bags came along . respected. tea bags came along. and there's nothing wrong with tea but, you know, we've tea bags, but, you know, we've forgotten actually, there's forgotten actually, that there's a teas out there. we a range of teas out there. we can give coffee a run for its money. in fact, still today there's more tea consumed in the world than by a long way . world than coffee by a long way. >> should think so. >> oh, i should think so. >> oh, i should think so. >> well, it's. how do you >> oh, well, it's. how do you dnnk >> oh, well, it's. how do you drink though? drink it, though? >> i was quite. yeah, that was my question. on it. yeah. >> i was quite. yeah, that was my because. oh it. yeah. >> i was quite. yeah, that was my because ioh it. yeah. >> i was quite. yeah, that was my because i was it. yeah. >> i was quite. yeah, that was my because i was it. intrigued >> because i was quite intrigued when our introduction

when we said in our introduction the queen liked earl grey with a splash milk. now that's how i splash of milk. now that's how i dnnk splash of milk. now that's how i drink like, i like a bit drink it. i like, i like a bit of milk in tea, generally speaking, would have speaking, but i would have thought would have thought the royalty would have had of or something. >> we've discovered all kinds of fun things because is such an fun things because it is such an important drink. >> we've quite a few of the >> we've had quite a few of the royals planting tea bushes here at and some of the at tregothnan, and some of the other visit other tea gardens you can visit all so the actual all year round. so the actual tregothnan is only the tregothnan house is only the gardens around that are only open but the tea open today, but the tea plantations we try and open much more often, we've had the more often, and we've had the royals planting tea bushes and, the edinburgh put in a the duke of edinburgh put in a tea bush here about eight years ago, which is now we pick tea from a lot. and some of the royals actually like a smoky tea with their, earl grey, which is really interesting. and we're making a special at the making a special tea at the moment bridgewater and moment for emma bridgewater and the duchess of rutland. and she is a real tea connoisseur. so we're doing some special blends with smoky tea at the moment, which they call lapsang souchong. but in the uk we call them lapsang swansong, because

you're not really supposed to call it the chinese name. but you're right, we adopted the chinese national drink, we made it our national drink, and now that's the that's exported all over the world. even iced tea world. we sell even iced tea like , brewed here in the like this, brewed here in the uk, made our own home grown uk, made with our own home grown tea leaves. this being sold tea leaves. this is being sold in this year. so, you in america this year. so, you know , we're seeing all over the know, we're seeing all over the world expert nation of tea world as an expert nation of tea drinkers . and for the first drinkers. and now for the first time, we actually grow it here in uk for the first time. in the uk for the first time. but it's going to always be a really to, know, really niche thing to, you know, produce the uk is never produce tea in the uk is never going to become to feed going to become enough to feed the world. we sell it to the whole world. we sell it to gwr who it in first class gwr who serve it in first class and that sort of thing. but, the best hotels , independent delis best hotels, independent delis and that's and farm shops, that's where you'll find grown but you'll find home grown tea. but we're going to be able to we're not going to be able to supply major supermarkets. supply the major supermarkets. >> it's, it's, it's nice though, we you know, we sort of we get you know, we sort of doing a, doing a bit of work on, on our, our drink in that way. i have to say i like the sound of a sort smoky tea. a sort of smoky tea. >> yeah, sounds nice. >> yeah, that sounds nice. >> yeah, that sounds nice. >> just sounds nice. i've >> that just sounds nice. i've got to ask you, because i'm just

but real madrid just did what they did they did what they did and all they did what they did and all they did what they tend to do and they just got they found a way to got through. they found a way to win. and managers like pep guardiola are judged on the champions it's huge champions league, so it's a huge psychological blow him and psychological blow for him and the be eliminated the players to be eliminated from tournament on from that tournament on wednesday. to play wednesday. they then had to play another against another big game against chelsea, really chelsea, who were in really decent form at wembley yesterday. now argument is yesterday. now his argument is that we're asking the players to do a lot. yes, i know they earn a lot of money, but the science, the science constantly tells us that you overwork them and that if you overwork them and play that if you overwork them and play too many games, they're at risk injury. i was at a game risk for injury. i was at a game yesterday qpr. a player took yesterday at qpr. a player took his top off you could see his top off and you could see this little vest that they wear. it's this little vest that they wear. lbs and this little vest that they wear. ifs andit this little vest that they wear. it's and it tells you it's a gps vest and it tells you all information that goes all the information that goes back and sports back to a laptop. and a sports scientist say, this player scientist will say, this player is red zone. he's this is is in the red zone. he's this is live data. yeah and therefore he needs to be taken because live data. yeah and therefore he needat 0 be taken because live data. yeah and therefore he needat risk taken because live data. yeah and therefore he needat risk of ken because live data. yeah and therefore he needat risk of injury. because live data. yeah and therefore he needat risk of injury. bethe;e he's at risk of injury. so the information is all there. yeah. to degree you can tell to the nth degree you can tell exactly where a player is in terms their physicality and terms of their physicality and their on pitch. so their state on the pitch. so there science backing up what there is science backing up what he says. his argument is why

couldn't play today he says. his argument is why coulwhy play today he says. his argument is why coulwhy couldn't play today he says. his argument is why coulwhy couldn't have today he says. his argument is why coulwhy couldn't have justy and why couldn't we have just had day's rest and had the extra day's rest and played the sunday? listen, it played on the sunday? listen, it is it is. they did get is what it is. they did get through, but the quotes were quite afterwards he said quite strong. afterwards he said i how i don't understand how the players out it's players survived out there. it's unacceptable play unacceptable to let us play today. it's impossible for the health players. it's not health of the players. it's not normal it's interesting normal now. it's interesting because arsenal played yesterday and arteta, and their manager mikel arteta, and their manager mikel arteta, an of pep guardiola, and their manager mikel arteta, an spaniards, pep guardiola, and their manager mikel arteta, an spaniards, hep guardiola, and their manager mikel arteta, an spaniards, he camerdiola, and their manager mikel arteta, an spaniards, he camerdioland both spaniards, he came out and said i agree with pep, we've been flogged as well and i wonder whether there's a little bit messaging going bit of messaging going around because of the debates we've because one of the debates we've had is about the fa had this week is about the fa cup replays and how many extra matches played, we played cup replays and how many extra matyhow played, we played cup replays and how many extra matyhow much played, we played cup replays and how many extra matyhow much the (ed, we played cup replays and how many extra matyhow much the schedule.ayed cup replays and how many extra matyhow much the schedule is ed and how much the schedule is being the players being loaded onto the players and hadit being loaded onto the players and had it hard and they've had it hard this week. the has gone one week. the argument has gone one way it's not often way and it's not often a football debate invites the prime minister leader of prime minister and the leader of her loyal or his her majesty's loyal or his majesty's loyal opposition to get debates. get involved in the debates. they seize they obviously wanted to seize a bit initiative and change bit of an initiative and change the and think they the narrative, and i think they probably did that yesterday. nonetheless, through. nonetheless, city are through. united at united are up this afternoon at 330 coventry. right. 330 against coventry. right. >> today, no no >> what we seeing today, no no coventry. burnley was yesterday

wasn't it. >> burnley yesterday. >> burnley was yesterday. they've given themselves a fighting chance because they've been all season. been on their uppers all season. they've really struggling they've been really struggling and been and their manager's been criticised . vincent company as criticised. vincent company as i mentioned last for not mentioned last hour for not changing principles, not changing his principles, not adapting the premier adapting to life in the premier league. it's all very well smashing every week, smashing teams every week, winning championship, winning in the championship, different he different kettle of fish when he gets to premier league. when gets to the premier league. when you to that top elite you get to that really top elite level domestic but level of the domestic game. but they away at they won four one away at sheffield they're within sheffield united. they're within three safety. three points of safety. nottingham play everton nottingham forest play everton at at 130. the at goodison park at 130. to the two teams who've had points deducted more deducted may still have more points deducted well. it's in points deducted as well. it's in burnley's to in burnley's interest to keep in touch because you never know. you get a bit of luck in you might get a bit of luck in the say that they the courts, which say that they could the the points could with the with the points deduction, could find deduction, burnley could find themselves it's themselves safe, but it's interesting top it's interesting at the top it's interesting at the top it's interesting below the top. interesting just below the top. it's interesting the bottom it's interesting at the bottom as i'm loving it just as well. and i'm loving it just very quickly on on the grand prix. >> yes we had yeah underway now. but a red one two on but we had a red bull one two on the didn't we? the grid didn't we? >> did. yeah. i mean, look, >> we did. yeah. i mean, look, it was very it looks processional again. i'm longing for of the christian

for the days of the christian horner scandal month ago, horner scandal of a month ago, because least it meant f1 was because at least it meant f1 was interesting to discuss, we saw the race yesterday. lewis the sprint race yesterday. lewis hamilton playing very well, performing hamilton playing very well, performi 18th hamilton playing very well, performi18th on grid finished 18th on the grid yesterday, is. that yesterday, which is. and that crystallises this problem in lots because he lots of ways because he performed one day and not performed well one day and not so the he can't find so well the next. he can't find any consistency. i think when he goes to ferrari next it goes to ferrari next season it might more interesting. might be more interesting. okay >> much. >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> yeah. to see you. yes >> yeah. good to see you. yes i we'll see you next will we. >> oh well okay. fine. >> yeah. oh well okay. fine. yeah stay a bit longer if you. >> you'd mm- you. >> you'd very welcome to, you >> you'd be very welcome to, you help chat the papers. help us chat through the papers. we'll that in a couple of we'll do that in a couple of minutes with woolf and andy minutes with emma woolf and andy jones.

wrecking the planet. this is an undercover reporter the undercover reporter for the mirror one of their mirror who attended one of their meetings, their meetings, and these are their plans, and quite open plans, and they're quite open about these. >> this from phoebe >> and this is from phoebe plummer, who's one of the noisier in just appalled. noisier voices in just appalled. she herself the wall at she glued herself to the wall at the gallery previously the national gallery previously and some time custody. and spent some time in custody. what's interesting is you what's really interesting is you think this is about saving the planet, speech planet, plummer shouted. speech says time to wake up and says it's time to wake up and get real. no summer holiday is more important than food security, housing and the lives of your loved ones. flying is a symbol of gross, a symbol of gross wealth inequality. and we need change. so it's not even about saving the planet anymore. it's about food inequality. the very idea that the kind of people who are having package ideals, spain, ideals, package deals to spain, turkey greece are somehow, turkey and greece are somehow, you know, gilded billionaires in private jets . they're attacking private jets. they're attacking the people that have saved up . the people that have saved up. >> yeah, it's a family holiday, summer holiday. and that's what they do. and they, you know, there are so many targets you could attack. we were talking about concrete. you could, you know, you could lithium know, you could attack lithium battery could

she was ever wholly supportive of mark rowley's appointment that was made by priti patel, her predecessor. so that's interesting in the context of the politics of the moment, because of course, we know that suella braverman is sort of angung suella braverman is sort of angling a future leadership angling for a future leadership position. argue position. you could also argue that is, along with that priti patel is, along with penny morden and kemi badenoch. but aside for the but put that aside for the moment. i think the scenes that we saw unfold with gideon, gideon falter, the head of the campaign against anti—semitism, who's a friend to my show, who's been a friend to my show, who's been a friend to my show, who's been a friend to my show, who's been on my show. he's been on gb news quite a lot in the advent of the october the 7th attacks, basically attacks, you know, to basically be that a provocation be told that he's a provocation simply he is quotes simply because he is quotes openly poses a huge openly jewish poses a huge problem for the mayor and the commissioner. already commissioner. we've already had braverman in braverman while she was in office. in fact, it was one of the reasons she had to leave office the end, she was office in the end, why she was effectively sacked by rishi sunakis effectively sacked by rishi sunak is because she accused the police playing police at the time of playing favourites we keep seeing favourites and we keep on seeing this out the streets this played out on the streets of london, with the pro—palestinian marchers sort of seemingly police, seemingly left alone by police, while are just walking

while those who are just walking about going about daily about going about their daily business, this case, gideon business, in this case, gideon falter, nothing to do with falter, had nothing to do with the march. happened to the march. he just happened to find in aldwych at the find himself in aldwych at the wrong time skull cap. so wrong time in a skull cap. so i'm going to be asking claire coutinho, behalf i'm going to be asking claire co the ho, behalf i'm going to be asking claire co the government behalf i'm going to be asking claire cothe government this behalf i'm going to be asking claire cothe government this morning. of the government this morning. she's the change and she's the climate change and energy but at the energy secretary. but at the same course, i'm going same time, of course, i'm going to be asking what her to be asking her what her reaction to braverman calling reaction is to braverman calling for rowley's resignation. gideon falter that . falter himself has said that. and also the deputy prime minister, oliver dowden, has been about this. been quite robust about this. he's quoted in the sunday he's been quoted in the sunday telegraph know, why telegraph saying, you know, why is jews seem to be is it that jews seem to be treated uniquely in this country? they don't seem to be given the protections that other ethnic are afforded. ethnic minorities are afforded. so talk about that. so we'll talk about that. i'm also grateful to have on the show. john woodcock, now known as walney, he's as lord walney, he's the government's on government's adviser on political and these political violence and these sorts of demonstrations. last year he was saying these marches will have to stop if they seem to be intimidatory towards jews. the jewish community will say that we cross that rubicon some weeks ago. so i'll be very

intrigued to his reaction to these calls for the met police commissioner to resign. also, i'll speaking danny kruger i'll be speaking to danny kruger . the gb news viewers and listeners will be familiar with him because of his association with the new conservatives, with miriam we've got the may miriam cates. we've got the may elections last week, elections coming up. last week, i picking up, particularly i was picking up, particularly at liz truss's book launch. funnily enough, little bit of funnily enough, a little bit of chatter about the fact that if these may, elections are really , these may, elections are really, really as is forecast, are really bad, as is forecast, are we going be seeing more? no we going to be seeing more? no letters of no confidence in against sunak? you know, against rishi sunak? you know, even some suggestions last week that might in office that he might not be in office by end of june. let's put by the end of june. let's put that to danny kruger. also, i'm going have tim shipman in going to have tim shipman in chief, political commentator for the he's got a new the sunday times. he's got a new book is analysing book out which is analysing theresa premiership, and book out which is analysing the going premiership, and book out which is analysing the going to premiership, and book out which is analysing the going to be remiership, and book out which is analysing the going to be speakingp, and book out which is analysing the going to be speaking to and i'm going to be speaking to former officer ian former prison officer ian aitchison of aitchison about the state of britain's prisons, too. >> okay. camilla lots to get your teeth into there. thank you very much indeed. we'll see you at 930. >> the labour party has >> now the labour party has vowed to crack down on crime as figures obtained under the

freedom of information act have shown that charges for shoplifting have fallen by about 16% since 2018. >> yes, the shadow home secretary, yvette cooper, has pledged that a labour government will get tougher on anti—social behaviour with new respect, orders to take on gangs and repeat offenders . she's also repeat offenders. she's also pledged 13,000 neighbourhood police, community support officers and special constables to try to restore community safety. well, earlier we spoke with former police officer and the host of the protect and serve podcast, oliver lawrence . serve podcast, oliver lawrence. >> good morning stephen. good morning ellie. it's very interesting. a huge announcement by the opposition home secretary, , secretary, yvette cooper, announcing these additional powers or legislation which will be coming through along with additional resources. the additional resources. now, the announcement additional announcement of additional resources will always be welcome to of the public. but to any member of the public. but we've got to look at the actual particular problem now. anti—social behaviour . they're anti —social behaviour. they're already 32 anti—social behaviour. they're already 32 pieces already more than 32 pieces of legislation , acts, regulation,

legislation, acts, regulation, policy and procedure allowing police officers to deal with anti—social behaviour . so police officers to deal with anti—social behaviour. so more legislation, more policy, more procedure isn't going to fix it. i would argue that we've got more than enough. with more than 32 pieces of legislation already out there . what we need is out there. what we need is proper enforcement and proper execution of the legislation by our justice execution of the legislation by ourjustice system to make sure that we have penalties for people commit these crimes people that commit these crimes in our communities. what do you make then of the 13,000 suggested neighbourhood police pcsos and special constables to restore community safety because i mean a lot of this surely is about old school policing, isn't it. bobbies on the beat 100. >> and to be honest with you, pcsos have proven to be very successful in the past. but i do truly believe we're a point now where we need police officers , where we need police officers, police officers that can have the of arrest, police the powers of arrest, police officers that have power officers that can have the power officers that can have the power of interview charge. pcsos of interview and charge. pcsos are very restricted in what they can do out on the streets and ultimately need a police officer to support them. so in my view,

it's have to come back it's going to have to come back to having, as you say, bobbies on beat. more police officer on the beat. more police officer numbers our communities, numbers in our communities, liaising community numbers in our communities, liaising so community numbers in our communities, liaising so they:ommunity numbers in our communities, liaising so they can nunity numbers in our communities, liaising so they can belity numbers in our communities, liaising so they can be fed that members so they can be fed that intelligence so we know who the individuals causing all the issues can take proper issues and we can take proper instructions. do these issues and we can take proper instructproperly. do these issues and we can take proper instructproperly. do we se an people properly. but we need an effective criminal justice system. need our courts to system. we need our courts to start sentencing and start sentencing people. and that putting people in that means putting people in prison. and our prisons are bursting at seams. so we bursting at the seams. so we don't only investment at don't need only investment at the enforcement we the enforcement stage. we also need the criminal justice need it at the criminal justice end, when we put people in prison repeat offenders, prison who repeat offenders, which issue with all which is the issue with all of this, isn't oliver? this, isn't it, oliver? >> because people can say what they like, make these promises and and, you know. and pledges and, you know. right. pretty good. right. all sounds pretty good. even they stick to their even if they stick to their word. the problem is we're not going see the impact of this going to see the impact of this for, what, 5 or 6 years? >> stephen. absolutely correct . >> stephen. absolutely correct. and what i think is frustrating the public at the moment is i can't remember a time where a chief constable came out and started publicly talking about how they're going to tackle

crime. we've got more chief constables racing to get in front of microphone to front of a microphone to acknowledge forces. acknowledge their forces. institutionally racist. then we have racing to have chief constables racing to the microphone acknowledge the microphone to acknowledge there with crime and there is an issue with crime and this is how they're going to tackle know, i don't tackle it. you know, i don't know. i'm quite concerned know. and i'm quite concerned what sir mark rowley damian what sir mark rowley and damian owens doing for the owens have been doing for the past of years in london, past couple of years in london, because think the city past couple of years in london, be any ;e think the city past couple of years in london, be any safer think the city past couple of years in london, be any safer than hink the city past couple of years in london, be any safer than when 1e city past couple of years in london, be any safer than when they y past couple of years in london, be any safer than when they came is any safer than when they came into so we need to have into power. so we need to have a change of thought around what we're supposed be how we're supposed to be doing, how we're supposed to be doing, how we're enact on that. we're going to enact on that. and need discipline and and we need discipline and enforcement . enforcement. >> nearing saint >> now it's nearing saint george's day, and to mark the day which celebrates our patron saint parades will be taking place all over country this weekend. >> yes, and of course, on tuesday itself, of course. >> but anyway, some some taking place at the weekend, understandably yorkshire place at the weekend, und good morning to you both. yes, i'm here in morley, near leeds, and it's been branded as the north of england's most

patriotic town. there's going to be 1500 people in a parade today going through the town , led by going through the town, led by saint george, a man dressed as saint george, a man dressed as saint george, a man dressed as saint george on a horse leading the parade to the rugby ground where there's going to be a lot going on. i'm joined by councillor wynne kaeja. she's the chair for the royal society of saint george in leeds. just tell us a little bit about the society and the day to day, and why we should celebrate saint george's day. >> well, this was started just roughly about 17 years ago, and every year we owed the parade and the event and we only had a break for two years because of covid. obviously, it was started by councillor joe tetley covid. obviously, it was started by councillorjoe tetley and by councillor joe tetley and councillor judith elliott, who felt that we were lacking englishness in mali. so we appued englishness in mali. so we applied to the royal society . applied to the royal society. saint george and the patron is the king. well, it was the queen then and we were advised because lee's don't have a branch to be called leeds, although we keep it in morley. so we just felt

that we need to celebrate. there's so much goes on about saint george's and should you know, oh well, we've got other days and what have you, but we should be celebrating because that's about in that's what we're all about in england, so we just felt it was really strong. we have a parade of over 1500 in the in the parade. we normally have the re—enactment from the, from the armouries , but unfortunately, armouries, but unfortunately, because of the ground being saturated at the rugby club, we're having to adhere to their ruling and, you know, we've just got the military vehicles, but there'll be about 800 scouts, brownies and not just from morley, but from the all of the outer south leeds area. so it's an absolute amazing thing to see. obviously we led by saint george, on horseback , his name, george, on horseback, his name, i sillies, his name is kevin morley of all names. but anyway, that's his name and he will lead the procession. and at the end we have a bus that takes all the dignitaries up because we will

have the lord mayor. we've got the lord, lieutenant. we've got the lord, lieutenant. we've got the mayor of morley, we've got, all the dignitaries will be on the steps and we wave past. we stand on these steps here and we wave past, and they all wave to us. and it's just a very, very, very proud moment. i often quite get with it because it's get choked with it because it's just all what's good just celebrating all what's good about just celebrating all what's good abowhat do you think that is? >> what do you think that is? and why do you think we should be proud of england and have saint george's day? well gosh, you've got the town host. >> i apologise for the town hall bells, but yeah, we, you know, we can lose identity . you we can lose our identity. you know, we are a multicultural, faith in the country now. and we celebrate all sorts of different religions and what have you. but i just think sometimes we can get saint george's can get pushed away , whereas we are pushed away, whereas we are proud to be england. and it's all about it's not being, you know, it's just being patriotic andifs know, it's just being patriotic and it's not being damaged to anybody else. but we're just proud of what we want, and we just need to show our proudness

now, the us house of representatives has finally approved a $61 billion aid package for ukraine. >> yes. democrats and republicans joined together after months of deadlock over renewed american support to help ukraine fend off russia's invasion. this was after some objected to sending money overseas instead of the us—mexico border. >> well, earlier we spoke to chair of republicans overseas uk, greg swenson . uk, greg swenson. >> the general consensus is that this is great news. wish it happened earlier. >> why was it being blocked ? >> why was it being blocked? >> why was it being blocked? >> i think it was being blocked for good reason , many

for good reason, many republicans wanted to tie this to the border. and contrary to popular belief, where, you to the border. and contrary to popular belief , where, you know, popular belief, where, you know, the argument was we need more money for the border. it wasn't actually money. and in the in the initial proposals had more funding for the border from the democrats. that's not the point. they could flip the switch and shut down the border to a certain degree. so it wasn't as much the money going out the doon much the money going out the door. it's that the biden administration decided to open the border when he took over in early 21. so if they had just this could have happened, this funding could have happened two months ago. if biden had agreed to shut down the border like it was closed during the trump administration. >> and yet, how does it fit within? i mean, i don't know about your personal view is, but for a lot of republicans who say we are fed up of being the world's policeman, yeah, there is element of the party. is that element of the party. >> there's an isolationist wing in republican party. in the republican party. it's relatively saw that relatively small. you saw that the of republicans, the

the majority of republicans, the great majority of republicans, voted of the funding voted for all of the funding yesterday. it is this fringe kind of extreme element. it's not necessarily conservative. you know, sometimes you read, oh, the conservative wing of the party. that's not the case. the conservative movement is very pro defence. you know, we endorse military spending. we endorse military spending. we endorse defence spending. biden has cut the budget in real terms by 2% for the last two years. that's dangerous at a time like this. so yes, there is this fringe wing and those are the ones that will probably or possibly file a motion to vacate on mike johnson, the speaker of the house, who really pushed this , aid bill through. this, aid bill through. >> i mean, we just heard from zelenskyy there who says he's very grateful. what do you think this means for ukraine and what message does it send to putin? >> well, it definitely sends a message that the us is willing to support the defence of ukraine. and this is a good thing. and, you know, even this is very reagan esque in many ways where, you know, the reagan

administration was much administration was very much behind allies, behind behind our allies, behind democracy , fighting for their democracy, fighting for their freedom. you had proxy wars going on at that time in nicaragua, for example. and so this is a way for the us to get ahead of it, right? we'd rather help ukraine defend itself. now than have a bigger problem later. it's actually cost effective in many ways. >> of course, that also includes i mean, there's more money going to israel as a result of this. there's also money going to taiwan. >> that's right, that's right. and then and then the last element is the is forcing tiktok to be sold to an american owner. yes. and that that was another priority. but you know, and that was bipartisan in many ways. >> so tell us a bit more about this. this tiktok. sure part of what was going on yesterday. >> yes. the there is that that threat, that tiktok, you know, being owned by the chinese, tied to the chinese, to the ccp as well as the prc, they they you know, there's an argument that thatis

know, there's an argument that that is data and, and potential influence peddling that we just can't live with. and, you know, it's similar to, to restrictions on media ownership or television ownership by by foreign owners. and so this was important to again, it was for the most part bipartisan. and it's a great security risk to have the chinese owning that kind of data i >> -- >> well, m >> well, that's it from us today. we are with you tuesday , today. we are with you tuesday, aren't we. >> from nine till five celebrating saint george's day . celebrating saint george's day. >> very good, aren't we? >> very good, aren't we? >> we are. >> we are. >> we are. >> we wouldn't miss it for the world. >> we wouldn't. here's your weather forecast. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news . news. news. news. >> good morning. welcome to our latest gb news weather from the met office. high pressure is still sticking around through the rest of today. however, we will see some patchy rain in places, particularly across parts scotland. quite cloudy places, particularly across part damp:otland. quite cloudy places, particularly across part damp start|d. quite cloudy places, particularly across part damp start here. ite cloudy places, particularly across
