6:02 am
all the details. >> now the metropolitan police antisemitism ride continues and we want your views on all of this very controversial subject. yeah. >> the prime minister has said that the met police commissioner, sir mark rowley, has questions to answer over what he's called the appalling treatment of a jewish man during a probe palestine protest in london over the weekend. >> are now calling for >> many are now calling for rowley to resign, including the former home secretary, suella braverman. live, as i say, 8:00 this morning on this very program. but your views very welcome on this particularly. want to hear from you this morning if you are a police officer, i will protect your identity or your former police officer. what you think and how the police have been treated. and all of this was this police officer simply doing his job and just saying, look, it would be dangerous for you to be
6:03 am
identified during this rally as , identified during this rally as, as a jew. that would not be good for your safety. but anyway, your views very, very welcome. there you see it on screen. gbnews.com forward slash. have your say . let's not have the say your say. let's not have the say of olivia utley olivia. >> yeah. it feels at the moment as though sir mark rowley is holding on to his job by the very tips of his fingers. number 10 has refused to say that they have full confidence in him. they've essentially passed the buck to on the home office. james cleverly, the home secretary, has said that he has confidence in sir mark rowley, but that statement is undermined a little bit by the fact that he is going to be meeting sir mark rowley later today. there was supposed to be a meeting between chris philp, the policing minister, later this minister, and rowley later this afternoon that's been afternoon that's now been upgraded. so james cleverly is going along to mark rowley . will going along to mark rowley. will definitely be getting a big slap on the wrist. but will it go further than that? well, i think
6:04 am
quite possibly it might . there's quite possibly it might. there's a yougov poll out today, front page times , saying that page of the times, saying that half of the general public have lost confidence in the police. now, that isn't specifically about this anti—semitism incident. it's about a whole range of factors, including a rise in shoplifting, a rise in cybercrime , etc. but taken cybercrime, etc. but taken together, it feels a little bit as though mark rowley has sort of lost his grip. as though mark rowley has sort of lost his grip . what james of lost his grip. what james cleverly will be saying to him today is essentially pushing him on whether he is going far enough to use all of the powers that the government has given the police . the government has the police. the government has essentially allowing police essentially allowing the police to harder on protests to go a lot harder on protests than they're going. they can really at this point now ban protests, change routes, pretty really at this point now ban protesanythinge routes, pretty really at this point now ban protes anything they tes, pretty really at this point now ban protes anything they want retty really at this point now ban protes anything they want to ty really at this point now ban protes anything they want to do. much anything they want to do. and yet it feels at the moment as though mark rowley doesn't really want to do that. so that relationship between the home secretary the police secretary and the met police commissioner hasn't been good for a while. is it about to get a whole lot worse ? a whole lot worse? >> well thank you olivia. is
6:05 am
this night time for, a lot this just night time for, a lot of people to just have a lot of common sense, about this, this this police officer. actually, if you haven't heard what the police officer said on saturday, this is exactly what happened. so remember, we don't have footage. we have images . footage. we have images. >> yeah. it's just images are just images. >> right? okay. so basically, the guy involved, gideon falter. he's there with his skull cap. that police officer saying, look, i can't let you cross this road because it's going to be provocative. it's going to be bad for your safety. and, just general , peace and order bad for your safety. and, just general, peace and order in bad for your safety. and, just general , peace and order in the general, peace and order in the street at the aldwych there at all. and he said it wouldn't be wise for you to cross that street. now that police officer has been hung out to dry. what else was he supposed to say? what else was he supposed to do ? what else was he supposed to do? let us know your views. i mean, you've got sunak jumping on the wagon with all of this saying, oh, riley should seek calling for riley to go.
6:06 am
>> yes, he hasn't gone that far, but he's refused to say he's got full confidence in him, it's interesting , because gideon interesting, because gideon falter. he clearly says that he should be able to walk wherever he wants to. as a jew in his home town , and that he doesn't home town, and that he doesn't feel safe as a jewish person in london, which is clearly awful. but there also has to be questions, i think, and let us know what you think about whether indeed, if it was a football match and you had a fan from one particular team trying to cross a group of particularly noisy and perhaps you could say agitated football fans from their opposing team, would it be wise for the police officer to allow that person to cross through? that was the dilemma facing police officer. facing that police officer. should sir rowley lose his should sir mark rowley lose his job it? what would you do job over it? what would you do in that situation? >> what sympathy do you have for the police officer involved in this? he supposed to do this? what was he supposed to do ? he supposed to let mr ? was he supposed to let mr falter the road and maybe falter cross the road and maybe be up , let us know. tv be beaten up, let us know. tv and radio presenter jeremy kyle and radio presenterjeremy kyle is expected to take to the

6:09 am
and aftercare of participants. in recent years, reality tv shows have come under scrutiny over their duty of care to participants during and after filming. but this inquest is about steve dymond and his family as they hear further evidence. the full inquest is expected to take place later this year. theo chikomba gb news. >> thank you to feel their for that. your views again, very welcome. we want to share all that you have to say today, including could i just say before we go any further today, my absolute condolences and admiration to coventry city football club yesterday for the way they they conducted the semi—final. just absolutely amazing and i should be full of joy amazing and i should be full of joy and happiness that manchester united are through to the final of the fa cup, which i sort of am, but i wasn't really i mean, i do think coventry were it was an underdog story wasn't it. >> and, and yeah, what a, what a

6:14 am
society that's useless, that's broken, that's gone to the dogs that no one can control and no one cares. what are they doing about it? what are they doing ? about it? what are they doing? not only people talk about first time buyers, but it doesn't matter if you're a second time buyer or time buyer or buyer or 15th time buyer or whatever. these are the highest house prices been in 70 house prices have been in 70 years everybody is hurting years and everybody is hurting as result . as a result. >> well, the building societies association is made up of 43 mortgage lenders, and they're calling government to calling on the government to provide support for first provide more support for first time who are struggling time buyers who are struggling more to onto the more than ever to get onto the property ladder. >> let's speak to the head >> let's now speak to the head of mortgage and housing policy at societies at the building societies association , paul brodhead. association, paul brodhead. paul association, paul brodhead. paul. how is paul. good morning. how bad is it ? it? >> good morning. >> good morning. >> well, as you've just said, eamonn, it's the most expensive it's been now since the 1950s. and increasingly , the people, and increasingly, the people, the first time buyers, are successful on getting onto the mortgage ladder. many of them, in fact, over half have help from the bank, the colloquially known mum and dad or known bank of mum and dad or need a two income household,
6:15 am
both of whom are earning higher than average income. it's than average income. so it's very clear the system is very clear that the system is broken and something needs to be done. >> this is a deeply cynical question, but i suspect that the reason nothing gets done is because as house prices go up, there are these sort of , if you there are these sort of, if you want to describe them as fat cats. people who've paid off their stand to gain their mortgages stand to gain from this inflation from seeing this inflation constantly the housing from seeing this inflation constantthey the housing from seeing this inflation constantthey don'tousing from seeing this inflation constantthey don't want; from seeing this inflation constantthey don't want to bubble. they don't want to change they that to be change it. they want that to be their pension they that to their pension. they want that to be legacy that they pass be their, legacy that they pass on to children. do you on to their children. do you think there is anything that think there is anything in that that house prices does that rising house prices does benefit few of those people benefit a few of those people who are control of who perhaps are in control of all of this? >> i think rising house prices, if you're a homeowner, always seem good thing, but seem like a good thing, but actually, know, in the end, actually, you know, in the end, if you move house, you're paying that house price again. that inflated house price again. so only you get to the so it's only when you get to the end. then there are end. and then there are challenges about downsizing. quite governments quite simply, to me, governments have get have failed for decades to get a grip of the number of homes grip of both the number of homes that need and the types of that we need and the types of homes the right places. and homes in the right places. and it's homes in the right places. and wsfime homes in the right places. and it's time now, for an
6:16 am
it's time now, really, for an independent review. i think, that commissioned by that should be commissioned by the government have look at the government to have a look at what to be done to improve what needs to be done to improve the situation first time the situation for first time buyers. something buyers. we need something to understand what that long tum plan be. also the plan will be. and also the electorate. first time electorate. and first time buyers something to buyers need something to hold the to account against. >> yeah. but paul, how do you how you help. how would how do you help. how would government intervention in terms of, you know, cash actually help without enriching even further , without enriching even further, people who bank property or people who bank property or people who bank property or people who , you know, people who, you know, developers, developers, at the end of the day, they're the ones who will gain from from all of this. how would you envisage something actually happening that could help everyone in this , well, first of all, we need to address the supply we're chronically under, built, as a nation. you know, we've now got 2 million fewer owner occupied mortgages than we had at the peakin mortgages than we had at the peak in 2002. that puts us back to the 1980s with a much larger population . so clearly there was population. so clearly there was a to build more houses.
6:17 am
a need to build more houses. those need to more those houses need to be more affordable, more available and more think to more appropriate. i think to your question about putting cash into in the into this, we've seen in the past, haven't we've seen past, haven't we? we've seen short political stunts where short tum political stunts where the has put cash the government has put cash in for now, helps some first for now, which helps some first time today, but then time buyers today, but then actually the situation time buyers today, but then actualfor the situation time buyers today, but then actualfor the the situation time buyers today, but then actualfor the next; situation time buyers today, but then actualfor the next grouption time buyers today, but then actualfor the next group ofn worse for the next group of first time buyers that are coming through, which is we coming through, which is why we need that tum strategy, need that long tum strategy, right? that right? the final thing that the government just have government could do is just have that review of how mortgage regulation has ticked since 2008, in favour of tighter 2008, more in favour of tighter mortgage at the mortgage regulation at the expense that social benefit expense of that social benefit of accessing home ownership . of accessing home ownership. >> but a cut in stamp duty. the chancellor and the prime minister are said to be mulling it and thinking about it it and thinking about putting it in statement for the in the autumn statement for the for this autumn . for this, this autumn. >> yes they are. they're looking at increasing perhaps at increasing that perhaps from 250,000 300,000. let's 250,000 to 300,000. let's remember that first time buyers today don't pay, stamp duty. above that. and while every little helps, you that little helps, you know that makes difference 2500 makes a difference of 2500 pounds against record house pnces pounds against record house prices and costs that are associated with it, so it will help some people at the right
6:18 am
time, but it is not going to swing the dial help, far swing the dial and help, far more buyers to more first time buyers to be able to access to the able to get access to the mortgage property that they require. actually, require. and actually, the country needs to country genuinely needs them to have on. otherwise, we're have later on. otherwise, we're going a great big bill going to face a great big bill if we're with the vast if we're left with the vast majority people renting into retirement. >> paul , do retirement. >> paul, do you retirement. >> paul , do you know what will >> paul, do you know what will be done about all of this, all that talking about today? that you're talking about today? nothing. it is never nothing. nothing. it is never done. it doesn't matter which politician we speak to, which party they belong to. they have no idea. they're not invested in this. they don't care . this. they don't care. >> i think i think what we are, what we do see, i mean, we've seen nothing done, have we for decades now? absolutely part of this challenge is that every government comes in and puts in their manifesto. housing is really, important. access really, really important. access to homes for first time buyers is really, really important. then have a revolving door of then we have a revolving door of housing ministers. we've had 15 housing ministers. we've had 15 housing in the last 14 housing ministers in the last 14 years only look beyond, years and we only look beyond, you know, within the limits of that five year horizon, which isn't change it, which
6:19 am
isn't going to change it, which isn't going to change it, which is why need that long term is why we need that long term plan. political parties say plan. all political parties say this not this is important. it is not beyond wit of them get beyond the wit of them to get together and collaborate, to deliver together and collaborate, to del good luck with that, matt. >> good luck with that, matt. thank much indeed, thank you very much indeed, paul brodhead. paul. brodhead. thank you, paul. appreciate you. the appreciate it. thank you. the other thing they do then with developers, i mean, know, developers, i mean, i know, i know, so many people that are looking for first houses, looking for first time houses, second houses, whatever, looking for first time houses, seco apartments, ses, whatever, looking for first time houses, secoapartments, particularlyer, and apartments, particularly what are robbery? they are you go into apartments and they don't have any wardrobe space. i mean any wardrobe space. >> or they have people store things in their cars. people what store their hoover in the car or whatever else. yeah, well , i can believe it because you go into and you see estate agents and things and say, yes, we've got them, we've got storage here, we've got more storage. >> well, we can hang three shirts in there. that's it. that's that's your lot. >> it is unbelievable. >> it is unbelievable. >> you know, eamonn on the >> but, you know, eamonn on the lane where live, the farmer lane where i live, the farmer sold land for 23 million at sold his land for 23 million at the end. and they've built a huge housing development but haven't built any new schools.
6:20 am
they haven't built new gp they haven't built any new gp practices . they got any practices. they haven't got any more at the station. more car parks at the station. it's created no end of problems for the area. so yes, we need to build new houses, but we also need the infrastructure and everything with everything that goes with it, which we're not doing. so which we're also not doing. so it a hugely complex issue, it is a hugely complex issue, but it's just another example of bnngs but it's just another example of brings to the whole but it's just another example of bringsof to the whole but it's just another example of bringsof i to the whole but it's just another example of bringsof i think1e whole but it's just another example of bringsof i think this 1ole but it's just another example of bringsof i think this whole thing of why i think this whole country worse . country has never been worse. >> it's broken, it's busted, it's like, but where would you live if you didn't live here? where would you live? >> well, i would have said dubai until last week . i was prone to until last week. i was prone to flooding. yeah. i mean, i don't know. i've got to look on the positive, haven't we. and you know, the news can be quite depressing. there's lots of brilliant things still about great life's depressing. >> so never you mind >> yeah. so never you mind trying to brighten things up. the the pits. the place is the pits. >> it's not. it does worry me for the for my. wait a minute. >> we attack the doctors, we attack the teachers, we attack the today in that the police again today in that nothing works . it's absolutely nothing works. it's absolutely incredible. the rail system, the
6:21 am
airlines, the airports. >> but why, why why why why why when we're paying more tax than ever? i don't understand why it's so bad and what we need to do to fix it. we can't just keep ploughing more cash into the system . why not? why not? well, system. why not? why not? well, because we'd be paying more of our hard earned cash the our hard earned cash to the treasury. actually think treasury. and i actually think it's spend our money it's better to spend our money ourselves rather than, you know, here, here, don't you? we know how to spend it better. i'm not getting into politics. trust me, well, i will. i do think it is absolutely ridiculous. what is expected of us. this country is busted. no one believes it. and incidentally, today we've got david cameron heading off to uzbekistan or somewhere handing out £50 million. where do we get £50 million to hand around to uzbekistan . uzbekistan. >> mongolia? yeah. well, yeah, it's all these satellite countries around russia , isn't countries around russia, isn't it? i suppose the argument is if you don't look after these countries, it helps putin. but it is difficult to see why you
6:22 am
can spending money overseas can be spending money overseas when got problems when we've got problems here. maybe glaisyer is going to maybe ellie glaisyer is going to cheer here's your monday cheer us up. here's your monday forecast. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> good morning. welcome to your latest gb news weather from the met office. a bit of a cloudier start for many of us this morning, particularly compared to over the weekend with outbreaks of rain that will continue push their way continue to push their way southwards head through southwards as we head through the of this morning. but the rest of this morning. but rain turning particularly rain not turning particularly heavy, cloudier and heavy, but a much cloudier and damp day than saw over the damp day than we saw over the weekend. and eastern weekend. southern and eastern parts england holding on parts of england holding on to a bit of sunshine through the morning, hazier morning, although turning hazier through it's through the afternoon. but it's northern scotland northern parts of scotland that will definitely the best of will definitely see the best of the this afternoon and the sunshine this afternoon and feeling warm here we feeling quite warm here too. we could highs scotland could see highs across scotland of 16 degrees, but of 14, 15, maybe 16 degrees, but definitely as warm for definitely not quite as warm for much england and wales, with much of england and wales, with highs only 13 degrees highs of only 12 or 13 degrees through rest of monday. that through the rest of monday. that rain continues push its way

6:31 am
door or whatever. and i just thought he was an absolute trojan, i think so, but you could have done with a few more trojans in that team, i think so manchester go nil manchester united go three nil up, minutes to play or so and up, 15 minutes to play or so and it was a stroll, wasn't it? >> it was a walk in the park. it should been easy. and then should have been easy. and then coventry back. ellis sims coventry come back. ellis sims after minutes. then callum after 71 minutes. then callum o'hare scores after 79. we're getting to the minute. the getting to the 94th minute. the ball hits aaron wan—bissaka's hand penalty. how are you feeling about this at this point? >> i didn't think it was a penalty. i don't think it was anything intentional. >> the hand was up and then moved behind, but the penalty was given. yeah. had she right i mean got to mean my goodness you've got to have of steel to able have nerves of steel to be able to score so he does three to score there. so he does three three and then momentum all about the momentum isabel. the momentum goes with coventry . and momentum goes with coventry. and i think everybody's thinking you know this is going be know this is going to be coventry's game. then we get coventry's game. and then we get the minute. and then victor the last minute. and then victor torp scores the winning goal which the winning which we think is the winning goal for three to coventry. but hang on var , now i know you're
6:32 am
hang on var, now i know you're not a big fan of vie, are you? >> well, i honestly believe you know people talk about the advantage should be given to the striker . when is the advantage striker. when is the advantage ever given to the striker? now i know you may talk. we were talking the smallest margins here. mean a millimetre here. here. i mean a millimetre here. yeah, and i just thought if you were going to give the advantage to the striker, there's a time to the striker, there's a time to give it and they deserve to win. on that basis. >> see, that's that's true. we can say that. but if you have a look at that i think we've got the actual var. there's the line. this is how close this. now it's not actually torp. that's offside. was actually that's offside. it was actually in build up. so can see in the build up. so you can see it literally centimetres. but it is literally centimetres. but the thing is the law. >> but i can't even see the law. >> but i can't even see the law. >> but offside is offside. >> would you say that's offside ? >> would you say that's offside? i can't see that. that's offside. well, it's the sky blue player we're looking is player that we're looking at is at top. is he ahead of the at the top. is he ahead of the red player. there it doesn't look like it to me. >> it doesn't look like it. but if you go closer, closer closer
6:33 am
closer. but obviously whether it be a foot, whether it be a millimetre, whatever it is, it was offside. just extremely was offside. it's just extremely unfortunate. to penalties unfortunate. goes to penalties and united come through and then united come through four two. i mean the united missed the first penalty. absolutely. and it was the celebrations were muted afterwards weren't they. because manchester united players didn't really know what to do apart from anthony. did you see anthony cupped his ear to anthony who cupped his ear to some of the coventry players after the penalty went in? given all this, it's like, what are you doing? do you do? there you doing? what do you do? there you doing? what do you do? there you united you go man city, man united final happened and final never happened before and now in year. twice now it's twice in a year. twice and well twice in two. twice in and well twice in two. twice in a year. twice the year. a year. twice. twice the year. twice. twice in the year. twice. but it kind of is. well but it kind of is. it is. well yeah because was last year. yeah because it was last year. >> is. and i do have to say >> it is. and i do have to say the city chelsea semi—final on the city chelsea semi—final on the saturday superb as well. the saturday was superb as well. absolutely excellent. so do absolutely excellent. so i do all this nonsense about the fa cup. fa cup dead and the cup. the fa cup is dead and the magic the cup, you know magic of the cup, you know people, somebody somewhere in this going to have to this game is going to have to stand up and fifa and stand up to uefa and fifa and how they're taking over with
6:34 am
bonng how they're taking over with boring that boring internationals that no one's in, or more one's interested in, or more champions league games to get more teams involved in it. and we're doing away with replays in the cup, you know , it's wrong. the cup, you know, it's wrong. >> what they do in france is that they give the lesser team a chance. so, for example, if they're drawn at home so they don't get a replay because there are no replays, we're the only one, the country that does one, the only country that does the what they will the replays. what they will do is you the is say we'll give you the choice. like to play choice. would you like to play it bigger ground so they it at the bigger ground so they can make more money? but it's all about just do the replays. it's been the same way for 100 years. have change? years. why do we have to change? >> the magic of the >> that is what the magic of the cup all about. we have to cup is, is all about. we have to say nottingham forest. my goodness me, talk about goodness me, we'll talk about this more in depth. we will next houn >> yeah we will keith, but basically they, they are flaunting they tell, tell us flaunting it, they tell, tell us what's going on there. >> well look, they lost two nil to everton, but there were three very controversial decisions. so nottingham forest are playing the card that it's not fair. there's it's so dodgy. the
6:35 am
decisions against us now there are some strange decisions that we have seen and probably they should have got some penalties. but this is the tweet they put out yesterday. see what you think about this . the three think about this. the three extreme. this is from nottingham forest. extremely poor forest. three extremely poor decisions, not decisions, three penalties not given we simply cannot given which we simply cannot accept. now we warned accept. now it says we warned the pgmol, which is the referees body that the var is a luton fan. before the game, but they didn't change him. our patience has been tested multiple times. we will now consider our options. what options are you going to consider? >> they have no options. >> they have no options. >> they have no options. >> they have no options, and it's ridiculous. >> so they're accusing this official then of being a cheat because he's a luton supporter. but it's absolute nonsense. >> this is stuart attwell . it is >> this is stuart attwell. it is nonsense. you've got a referee there doing a professional job. they're not going to throw it all away just by thinking, oh yeah brother luton, it's nonsense. >> no, in an hour's time or 7:20 this morning. who are you talking to? >> yeah, we've keith hackett >> yeah, we've got keith hackett
6:36 am
coming the coming on. keith hackett is the former the pgmol and former boss of the pgmol and very well respected referee, referee of fa cup final as referee of an fa cup final as well. so he's written an article in the telegraph. we'll see in the telegraph. so we'll see what has . what he has. >> de—man see you then. >> de—man okay. see you then. thank very much indeed. thank you very much indeed. we're back with the stories that make news. dawn neesom make the news. dawn neesom christopher after christopher biggins right after this.
6:38 am
front page is the papers on this monday morning. this is what you're waking up to. times. first of all, it's a new yougov poll which suggests people are losing faith in the police. voters put police in the dock. >> now, take a look at this story. it's an exclusive for the sun. today. british flights are being targeted by russian satellite interference. how would you feel about that if you're over the baltic you're flying over the baltic area? and the russians were trying to put objects in trying to put fake objects in the satnav, and your plane would have out of the way . have to dodge out of the way. >> terrifying guardian reveals the prime minister is under
6:39 am
pressure to add afghan concessions in the rwanda bill as it goes on and on and on and on.the as it goes on and on and on and on. the telegraph leads with the prime minister refusing to back the under—fire metropolitan police chief. and we're going to talk about that. and just to say that the front page of the daily mirror, jewish leaders call on met chief to quick to quit, that's mark rowley and, christopher biggins and dawn neesom are here. dawn, we're going to start with that story. >> we are? yeah. it's a it's a huge story. it's been a huge story all weekend. this is concerning , the chap who tried concerning, the chap who tried to cross road , while the to cross the road, while the pro—palestinian march was going on the other week and basically a police officer stopped him from doing so on the grounds that he looked openly jewish. now, the police it he stopped him on the grounds of doing it. >> he would get his head kicked in. >> well, no, the point i was going to make, eamonn was the police officer was doing the job he should have been doing. he was making sure that everybody
6:40 am
was making sure that everybody was in area . that was was safe in that area. that was his job. the way he did it was problematical and that's where the issue lies, now, gideon, why why is it problematic? >> let's just have this out. he's wearing a skull cap. he's obviously jewish. it's a pro—palestinian march there. the police officer is basically saying to him that if you cross this, you're going to be toast. i'm protecting you. and i'm protecting civil order here by by preventing you doing this. what on earth, i ask you, is wrong with that? >> i think it was the phrase he used. you are openly jewish and there is openly jewish. there are ways, of course, but there are ways, of course, but there are ways, of course, but there are ways that you you handle this situation. you've got to understand. i mean, this is so incredibly toxic for both communities. we've seen anti—semitism and we've anti—semitism rise and we've seen islamophobia rise because of this situation . so i think of this situation. so i think the language we all use around the language we all use around the situation, whether we like it or not, has to be careful. and i think the officer involved, who looked like a senior officer, who looked like an should chosen an older man, should have chosen the wisely.
6:41 am
the words more wisely. >> the chief constable >> should the chief constable resign over this? >> not all. i think the >> no, not at all. i think the prime minister be calling for him to or suella him to resign or suella braverman be calling for him to, well, suella braverman and priti patel are both our chuck. they're they're two pennyworth in haven't they. call him resign . i don't think so. mark . no, i don't think so. mark rowley should resign. i think it's i i it's ridiculous to i mean, i know the buck stops with the person charge, but think person in charge, but i think for, for this instance and now it's politicised . yeah. it's been politicised. yeah. >> everything for me, i think >> as everything for me, i think this boils to lots of this boils down to lots of people saying this is evidence that don't think that that the police don't think that this a peaceful protest and this is a peaceful protest and therefore, because it's not peaceful, these protests should not ahead. and not be allowed to go ahead. and it's a bit of it's giving a whole bit of ammunition to that argument that enough of these enough is enough of these pro—palestinian protests. i suppose that's a good question to out our audience this to put out to our audience this morning. do you agree that enough with these enough is enough with these protests, you think it is protests, or do you think it is important to protect free speech, right of speech, the right freedom of assembly, in the assembly, when people are in the vast cases , vast majority of cases, peacefully protesting against civilian suffering, if we if
6:42 am
gideon falter in the interview he gave over the weekend, this was a chat that was stopped crossing road. crossing the road. >> says was called scum. >> he says he was called scum. he was told that he should be ashamed. was called a nazi ashamed. he was called a nazi by the this peaceful the people on this peaceful protest, whom , it protest, none of whom, it appears as far as we know, were arrested or even cautioned for the hate language they were using . so it does. the question using. so it does. the question is, do we have two tier policing in this country? were the police frightened to interfere in that march for being accused of being racist and upsetting the march and look back in the 70s, isabel, we had what were perceived the national front were marching right wing groups and if they'd have been using this language, the people doing that would chucked that would have been chucked into wagons and carted into police wagons and carted off. and national front marches were banned this very reason were banned for this very reason for anti—semitism and the for the anti—semitism and the racism was exhibited at the time. >> why was the jewish man there ? >> why was the jewish man there? >> why was the jewish man there? >> well, well, he said he was just going for a walk after having been at synagogue, and he stumbled upon the protest.
6:43 am
>> was is there >> and it was is there a synagogue nearby, not sure, but i mean, he said it was story, i mean, he said it was a story, he it's quite common after he said it's quite common after synagogue either go for synagogue to either go for a walk or to go off for lunch straight away. so you could quite easily be out of your normal neighbourhood. quite easily be out of your nor ital neighbourhood. quite easily be out of your nor ital nei seem rhood. quite easily be out of your nor ital nei seem odd d. quite easily be out of your norital nei seem odd to me that >> it does seem odd to me that he was there. funnily enough, that and one that seems big and so the one thing make clear, despite thing we'll make clear, despite you'll people complaining you'll get people complaining about this, not one of us about all of this, not one of us are anti semitic. not at all. >> not one of us have that bone in in our body. but you can see this guy is making a political point and everybody's listening to him. what i'm simply doing today is highlighting the fact the police officer was only doing his job. >> exactly at the end. >> exactly at the end. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> he was he crossed the road and he got his head. >> i agree, yeah, you use the football analogy earlier on isabel and yeah, i mean, i thought while no one is taking away the seriousness of this situation, the football analogy is an important one. as a west ham fan, i've been stopped from walking through groups of millwall chelsea fans millwall fans or chelsea fans or
6:44 am
tottenham fans for my own safety. football safety. but you know, football fans in an entirely fans are treated in an entirely different i think was different way. i think it was just the copper was doing his job. it was the way in which he did it, which is the problem here. >> el e f has been in touch a gb >> nick f has been in touch a gb news member. thank you that. news member. thank you for that. nick. a weeks ago my friend nick. a few weeks ago my friend visited london inadvertently visited london and inadvertently found herself the vicinity of found herself in the vicinity of the much like gideon, the protests, much like gideon, she road she needed to cross the road again, like gideon, when again, like gideon, and when she did was around did so, she was pushed around and shouted at by the protesters. really shook her protesters. it really shook her up. an older lady. she was up. she's an older lady. she was minding own business, not minding her own business, not doing wrong, and doing anything wrong, and was tested treated like that tested and was treated like that by continued by protesters who continued to insist they are peaceful. this is unacceptable. is totally unacceptable. >> i, i, you know, everyone has the right to protest peacefully and obviously everyone wants this horrific situation in gaza to come to an end. so yes, of course . but i do think some course. but i do think some people at these marches are now going too far and gideon falter. whether he was trying to prove a political point or not, which if he was, he's done it spectacularly well. it has to be said with the prime minister now involved, i, i think there are
6:45 am
questions to be asked about why these marches are going these marches are still going on, demonstrably now we on, when demonstrably now we have, at the very least, hate speech. and many people , not speech. and many people, not just jewish people, are worried about coming into london at weekends . weekends. >> sunak is only complaining >> and sunak is only complaining about appease right about this to appease the right wing his party. that's all. wing of his party. that's all. he's that's just politics. >> it's been completely >> and it's been completely politicised. the politicised. now, that's the problem whole thing. problem with this whole thing. once prime once you've got the prime minister it minister involved in this, it should stopped before should have been stopped before it level . it got to this level. >> okay, okay. and meanwhile, begins will next day begins where will the next day the london marathon, takes takes part. how did you do what was your time? >> well, i beat you. that's the only thing that you know, which was, pleasurable. i tell you what is great. i watched this on television yesterday, having my breakfast and going into lunch and, you know, in the times that we're in, which are very depressing news wise, everything is just disgusting going on. what's going on in the world? this was just fantastic to see 50,000 people there trying to do

6:48 am
exclusive. and they have, they were on. remember the were on. remember when the defence secretary, shapps defence secretary, grant shapps flew last and when flew out last month and when they flying near poland , a they were flying near poland, a near russians kaliningrad, that that was jammed as well. that plane was jammed as well. the satnav, the navigation system was jammed . and so system was jammed. and so they've done some research into this and they've done a study of flights, and it involves all the flights, and it involves all the flights we take to go on holiday or to go on sea, as you say, friends in the baltic areas, you know, get to easyjet, ryanair and british airways . and there's know, get to easyjet, ryanair a|very itish airways . and there's know, get to easyjet, ryanair a|very uncanny/ays . and there's know, get to easyjet, ryanair a|very uncanny amount d there's know, get to easyjet, ryanair a|very uncanny amount of here's know, get to easyjet, ryanair a|very uncanny amount of planes a very uncanny amount of planes that are jammed or , or, or that are jammed or, or, or spoofed, as they call it, when they fly over this area . it they fly over this area. it seems a very high proportion of planes, and basically the satnav system either gets jammed or misled into thinking there's another plane nearby or an object, so they have to divert. so it is incredibly dangerous, and it does seem to happen more over this particular area than anywhere else that the sun did on this study. and, you know, as if that wasn't bad enough, then you had the story from yesterday, isabel, where you've
6:49 am
got oil, who are also got just stop oil, who are also going interrupt flights this going to interrupt flights this summer invading runways and, summer by invading runways and, and getting jobs and sort of getting jobs at airports disrupting holiday airports and disrupting holiday flights luck if flights as well. so good luck if you're travelling. >> just come back >> basically, i just come back from thursday. from japan on last thursday. i had a little holiday there which was blossoms in full was fantastic. blossoms in full flow. was wonderful way, flow. it was wonderful that way, but thing is we went to but the only thing is we went to mount fuji and, we didn't see it at all. it was the mist was thick as anything. it was hysterical. we cried with laughter because it was one of. but i did. coming back. we had to go via seoul, which was the airline we chose to use because it was the cheapest , and it was it was the cheapest, and it was actually, i did think to myself, this is quite frightening, actually, because we were so near russia, and it was, you know , you just think to know, you just think to yourself, anything could happen. and what did he fly over? >> did they have one of those maps in your aircraft? >> they did, but i'm not sure whether they flew that way. you know, they would tell us if know, or they would tell us if they'd gone. >> i remember flying over afghanistan with all the

switzerland. just mind your own business, 10 million people, steve says. we've talked about housing and the lack of it. 10 million people have moved here in the last 20 years. 1.2 moved here last year alone. that's why rents prices property are rents and prices in property are so high. that's probably very, very true. very, very true, our other top stories this morning. the prime minister's joining suella braverman in condemning the metropolitan police chief over what's been branded a utany over what's been branded a litany of failures in policing pro—palestinian rallies deadlocked rwanda bill returns to the commons today , escorted to the commons today, escorted olivia utley . olivia utley. >> the rwanda bill is back in the commons once again. and can rishi sunak finally get this piece of flagship legislation over the line ? over the line? >> and at 8:00 we'll be speaking to the former home secretary, suella braverman, as she calls for changes at the top of the metropolitan police and is she right to do so? >> let us know. is it time to rethink the way you view englishness? that's our debate
7:02 am
very with this, the very shortly. with this, the week george's day, what week of saint george's day, what day is it on? tomorrow? tomorrow? tomorrow. right. okay why haven't you got a national holiday, for instance? and in the sport? >> well, i shall tell you in the sport , manchester united dodged sport, manchester united dodged a bullet the semi—final of a bullet in the semi—final of the cup , beating coventry on the fa cup, beating coventry on penalties being three nil penalties after being three nil up with just 15 minutes to play and nottingham forest are throwing accusations all over the place being denied the place after being denied three penalties against everton. former referees keith former chief of referees keith hackett will give us his take on, if anything dodgy is actually going on or not. >> it's been a cloudier start for many of us this morning, but there is some sunshine on the way this afternoon. join me later for the full forecast with all the details. >> so our top story this morning. the metropolitan police anti—semitism row is continuing with the prime minister saying that the met police commissioner, sir mark rowley,
7:03 am
has questions to answer over answer over what he calls the appalling treatment of a jewish man during a pro—palestine protest in london at the weekend. >> well, what would have happened if that man had have been allowed to walk across the road so many are now calling on riley to resign, including that lady, former home secretary suella braverman. she's accusing him of emboldening anti—semites. let us know what you think about that one. >> well, let's get the thoughts of political correspondent olivia utley this morning. this is an interesting one because olivia utley this morning. this is a dynamics ng one because olivia utley this morning. this is adynamics in one because olivia utley this morning. this is adynamics in alla because olivia utley this morning. this is adynamics in all ofecause olivia utley this morning. this is adynamics in all of this, ;e the dynamics in all of this, we've got mitchell about we've got andrew mitchell about to and of course, his to appear. and of course, his boss, david only got boss, david cameron, only got back government because back into government because suella sacked suella braverman got sacked because the two because she questioned the two tiered saw it, policing tiered as she saw it, policing of these pro—palestine marches. so how things so it's funny how things have gone circle here, do you gone full circle here, do you think there is a legitimate question about whether or not mark rowley should stay at the top met police top of the met police >> well, i think that is a question that will be being asked over the next couple asked a lot over the next couple of suella braverman , the
7:04 am
of weeks. suella braverman, the former home secretary, is very loudly for go . we loudly calling for him to go. we knew when she was in office that the two of them had a pretty bad relationship. she thought that mark rowley wasn't going far enough to use powers that the government police government had given the police to down on. some of the to crack down on. some of the more extreme aspects of these mark matches. rishi sunak is now refusing to say that he has full confidence in mark rowley, which is quite often a sign that someone high up is about to get the boot. that said, what he seems to have done is pass the buck over to james cleverly, the home secretary . at the moment he home secretary. at the moment he is saying that he has confidence in mark rowley. he's meeting him later today. and of course, that all might change. >> i'm going to interrupt you. forgive but do have forgive me, but we do have andrew mitchell, the deputy foreign standing by. foreign secretary, standing by. so straight to a so we'll cut straight to him. a very good morning to you, sir. thank for joining gb thank you for joining us on gb news morning, news breakfast. good morning, give thoughts, give us your thoughts, if you would, the metropolitan would, on the metropolitan police have police chief. does he have serious questions ask over serious questions to ask over this? as the prime minister has called it, appalling treatment
7:05 am
of gentleman over the of a jewish gentleman over the weekend . weekend. >> well, it was an appalling error by the metropolitan police. and while while i don't think you should necessarily criticise the bobby who was actually dealing with it, there are strategic issues for the metropolitan police about how they ensure that people of any faith and no faith can go freely around our capital city. so i have no doubt at all that the home secretary with whom this really rests will be holding . really rests will be holding. holding, sir mark, to account for what happened and making sure that nothing like this happens again. it was a terrible error of judgement by the police. >> well, you could you could just argue that gideon falter his personal safety was being protected in all of this. >> and you just had a police officer who was doing his job on the day he . the day he. >> well, that's why i was careful not to criticise the individual police officer. but gideon is absolutely right to expect to be protected in these
7:06 am
circumstances and that his right of free passage should be maintained. and that's the key point . and it's the failure to point. and it's the failure to do that for which the police have apologised, and for which i'm sure the home secretary i'm sure that the home secretary will be seeking to hold the police to account, as is perfectly proper . perfectly proper. >> right. so, andrew, do you actually think it have actually think it would have been a idea for the police been a good idea for the police officer to say, yeah, mr falter no all. you with your no problem at all. you with your jewish cap there , just jewish skull cap on there, just you cross across that palestinian protest across the road at aldwych. that would be a goodidea. good idea. >> we cannot have people stopped in the way that he was stopped from going about their business, going for a walk in central london for the reasons he was stopped and i think that's why the police have apologised and it's why they're looking again at way in which at the strategic way in which they these marches. so they police these marches. so that people can go about their business, regardless what business, regardless of what faith or none they support. >> and that's an interesting word. talk about the word. you talk about the strategic of strategic element in all of this. you can't ever this. i mean, you can't ever legislate or protect against
7:07 am
people wandering accidentally into a protest. unless, of course, you're suggesting that the police should be shutting down these protests and should be stopping them. is that your view ? view? >> i don't have any view on that. that is a policing matter within the law of a view on that. what i do think i well, no, that's a, that's a policing operational matter as to whether a march should be banned or not. but what i do think is it's intolerable in the capital city of the united that of the united kingdom that someone varne should out on a someone varne should be out on a walk a saturday or sunday walk on a saturday or sunday morning and not be able to cross the road in that way. so i my sympathies are entirely with gideon, and i think that the police, who have apologised as i have emphasised and said this was a mistake , need to deal with was a mistake, need to deal with their procedures and make sure this doesn't happen again. >> although is it passing the buck a little bit? i mean, it's a terribly difficult one for the police to judge because they also to protect the right also have to protect the right to protest, don't they, for these palestinians? mean,
7:08 am
these palestinians? i mean, are you that you saying this is evidence that these example, hate these are, for example, hate marches, these protests marches, that these protests aren't ? aren't peaceful? >> i'm not saying that. i'm saying that the lesson to be learned from this is, is not so much a tactical one, which is why i was very careful not to point the finger at the individual police officer involved. it's a strategic one. it's about how these marches are policed. what are the parameters within which they operate, and how we ensure that people can can walk through the centre of london without fear and favour and can go about their business in the normal way. that's the strategic issue which the police have to address and on which i'm certain home secretary will certain the home secretary will be sir mark account . be holding sir mark to account. >> we'll be talking to a former home secretary, suella braverman, just after this braverman, just after 8:00 this morning this. well, deputy morning on this. well, deputy foreign what you're foreign secretary what you're here to talk about this morning, the foreign secretary, he plans to walk through tajikistan, kyrgyzstan, uzbekistan , turkey. kyrgyzstan, uzbekistan, turkey. i haven't even heard of most of these places. my friend . what?
7:09 am
these places. my friend. what? why is he going there? what's he doing ? doing? >> well, our relations with the areas which you have just listed areas which you have just listed are incredibly important. britain has vital strategic security and indeed trade, investment and economic relationships. and that's why the foreign secretary is conducting the business of government in that part of the world. and in that way, i hope he's not going to be flying too close to russia on his way and has a similar experience to grant shapps when his flight suffered this jamming procedure that they use. >> there's an exclusive in the sun today about domestic flights. now, british airways and other carriers with british passengers on experiencing this extremely dangerous process. are british people safe flying in that area ? that area? >> yes. we will only allow british planes to any planes to conduct their business to transport british citizens, any citizens, when we are satisfied
7:10 am
that they are safe. and if there was any question about that, then the flights would not be able to proceed. >> you talked about how important central and important central asia and mongolia country . in mongolia is to this country. in what way is it? are they are these areas important to us and why are we important to these areas? why is the foreign secretary going there ? secretary going there? >> well, we live we live at a very dangerous time in the world. i can't think of a more dangerous time in my lifetime. and it's very important to those areas that their friends are seen to be there for them in terms of security, but also in terms of security, but also in terms of security, but also in terms of trade, investment and the economy. and it's important to us, too. these are countries with which we have very close relationships, and they are a wide spanning, multifaceted relationships . and it's quite relationships. and it's quite right, therefore, that the secretary, the foreign secretary , should go there to express britain's interests and support and represent the united kingdom in the way that he does so well.
7:11 am
>> can i ask you about the rwanda bill? people are fed up talking about it, but the lords are absolutely insistent on this afghan concession. these are people who helped british forces on the ground with translation, who will be deported if they try to get into this country . who will be deported if they try to get into this country. i who will be deported if they try to get into this country . i know to get into this country. i know that quietly, behind the scenes at least, there is a lot of conservative concern about what is a labour amendment . what's is a labour amendment. what's your own view in all of this? it can't possibly be right, can it, that afghani interpreters and people who have helped protect our servicemen and women should be out to dry in this way? be hung out to dry in this way? >> well, of course it isn't right. and that is why we set up the arap scheme to ensure that those who had worked with british forces in afghanistan were able to come to this country, as everyone would wish, and something like 16,100 have come, 16,100 have come under the arab scheme. we've got a scheme in place, we've got a scheme in
7:12 am
place. there are safe and legal routes for them to come to britain. this amendment, in the view of the government, is not necessary. these labour necessary. and these labour lords their point. the lords have made their point. the lords have made their point. the lords is a revising chamber and it's now time to let the elected chamber, the house of commons, have its way . have its way. >> deputy foreign secretary, we've got leave it there. we've got to leave it there. thank you for your time and your explanation on those varied subjects this morning. that was andrew mitchell. thank you very much . thank you, thank you. much. thank you, thank you. >> with the time at >> all right. with the time at 7:12, let's take a look at the other stories making headlines today. other stories making headlines today . and the child serial today. and the child serial killer lucy is bid to killer lucy letby is bid to challenge convictions . is challenge her convictions. is set be considered by the set to be considered by the court of this week. court of appeal this week. lawyers letby will ask lawyers for letby will ask senior for permission to senior judges for permission to bnng senior judges for permission to bring appeal against her bring an appeal against all her convictions. at hearing in convictions. at the hearing in london. remember she was london. you'll remember she was given whole life orders in given 14 whole life orders in august 2023 after she was convicted of the murders of seven babies and the attempted murders of another six. >> mark menzies has announced his resignation from the tory

be the first people to say you're you're. let me just please finish. your channel will be the first people to say the engush be the first people to say the english people shouldn't feel shame their ancestors shame for what their ancestors did, though no one says did, even though no one says they should feel shame. it just says should pay the says they should pay back the money. but say we should money. but you say we should feel about what our feel proud about what our ancestors . i didn't do ancestors did. i didn't do anything here. in anything to be born here. in fact, someone is here. fact, someone who is here. because and because let me just quickly. and then just stop talking and then i'll just stop talking and let respond. someone who is let you respond. someone who is here they've travelled here because they've travelled across desert, almost across the sahara desert, almost drowned mediterranean sea drowned in the mediterranean sea and to with racist and had to deal with racist border guards and gone border regime guards and gone through grecian odyssey through a greek grecian odyssey of and tribulations. of trials and tribulations. to get has done a lot more to get here has done a lot more to be here than me, who just was born here. i didn't do anything to be here. i'm not nothing to be proud being this be proud of for being in this country because haven't done country because i haven't done anything. literally just anything. i was literally just born here. >> know there's people >> do you know there's people going look at you? going to look at you? >> femeni femi i just say >> femeni femi and ijust say this to you, mate. i just say you've the worries of the you've got the worries of the world on your why world on your shoulders. why can't lighten up? you can't you just lighten up? you know, holiday.
7:24 am
know, it's a holiday. it's a celebration of your nationality. but you've made your case. and i accept the that you've but you've made your case. and i accept there that you've but you've made your case. and i accept there th see ou've but you've made your case. and i accept there th see if 've but you've made your case. and i accept there th see if rafe made. there let's see if rafe heydel—mankoo it, well, heydel—mankoo accepts it, well, as you can imagine, no, i won't. and happy saint george's day for tomorrow. to everyone out there, i mean, the key thing here, i think, i think for me is sort of highlighting here is that whilst everybody else in the world now is to told identify, to celebrate their identity and their heritage and their culture, there's one identity that's frowned upon and that's still frowned upon and that's still frowned upon and that's england. and being english, know, nobody ever english, you know, nobody ever criticises the scottish or the welsh for their patriotic fervour, you know, on the contrary, you know, when you see they're basically encouraged to wave the scottish welsh wave the scottish and welsh flags great gusto . but when flags with great gusto. but when the english do it's racist. the english do it, it's racist. when do it , it's called when they do it, it's called progressive nationalism. and, you at city hall in you know, even at city hall in london, the capital of england, you don't find saint george's cross flying. and ken livingstone money for livingstone gave money for a saint patrick's day parade every year when he was mayor, but refused to have one for saint george's day the capital of george's day in the capital of
7:25 am
england he said was england because, he said it was somehow racist. that's what we're the english. >> also just speaking for the saint patrick's day thing, people want to be irish on the 17th of march. people sort of want to join in on it. but, you know, we heard that femi's argument against that and why he doesn't feel that, you know, there's a lot of english history that associates with. what that he associates with. what would you say him about that? would you say to him about that? >> well, this is also quite remarkable, isn't it? because somehow the scots, for example, have been able to create this myth that they are somehow the victims of english colonisation? you this whole myth of you know, this whole myth of braveheart they braveheart, when they were actually forefront of the actually at the forefront of the british empire, nobody was more gung ho for imperialism than the scots. in fact, one of the reasons they joined england was because their own darien scheme of failed. of imperialism failed. but they've to somehow, you they've managed to somehow, you know, escape all of that. and anything that britain's done badly is somehow england's fault. you know, flanders fault. always you know, flanders and swann, the old comedy duo, used to say , whenever there's used to say, whenever there's a victory, it's britain wins
7:26 am
again. when there's something, when loses, when britain loses, it's england's loss. yeah, the england's loss. yeah, but the engush england's loss. yeah, but the english should be proud to live in. actually, arguably, i would say the world's most historically influential country, italy , with country, along with italy, with for art and culture. and i often say that britain invented the modern actually it's modern world. actually it's england. invented the england. england invented the modern world with its language, the revolution, the industrial revolution, primarily english, no country did more to spread capitalism around the world. >> i've got to interrupt you. we are out of time. but, femi, just really quickly before i let you 90, really quickly before i let you go, 1st of october in nigeria, big national day parades, bands and everything. presume you and everything. i presume you don't think they should be celebrating that either? >> two types of >> well, there's two types of nationalism, one is nationalism, and no one is saying the english person can't be some kind of, oh, be proud of some kind of, oh, i thought that's what you were saying. history. but but, but there's two of there's two types of nationalism. there's the nationalism which celebrates conquest and domination and supportingproposing nationalism, conquest and domination and suppo supports osing nationalism, conquest and domination and suppo supports independence sm, conquest and domination and suppo supports independence from which supports independence from the many countries the british. so many countries in world when support in the world when they support their independence are their independence day, what are they they're they supporting? they're supporting british supporting being free of british colonialism. there are half of
7:27 am
the world, not half of the world, between a quarter and a half of the world literally celebrate freeing themselves from the sack. >> well, we could debate on and on. there's so much more to that in now. in the commonwealth now. >> thanks very much >> guys, guys, thanks very much indeed. of thank you indeed. out of time. thank you for your both very, very for your take. both very, very interesting, at home have interesting, folks at home have your say, touch with us. your say, get in touch with us. you know what to do , i don't you know what to do, i don't know to do, you do know know what to do, but you do know what do. what to do. >> it's gbnews.com forward slash your say. >> your say and we'll >> have your say and we'll reflect throughout the reflect that throughout the program. if you're having a program. and if you're having a party saint george's party tomorrow, saint george's party party tomorrow, saint george's party happy. party or something happy. >> yet to see anyone >> and i'm yet to see anyone saying party saying they're holding a party or special. so if or doing anything special. so if you let know. you are let us know. >> i'm free tomorrow afternoon right through . no problem. i right through. no problem. i don't mind being english, nigerian , afghanistan. i don't nigerian, afghanistan. i don't care who it is. i'm happy for party. your national day. okay, coming up, we're going to have the former chief of referees, keith hackett , talking about keith hackett, talking about nottingham forest. they want justice. are they going to get it? let
7:31 am
i >> -- >> okay. labour is calling for us to harness patriotic pride, which they feel is central to raising the next generation of sporting talent. joining us to tell us more now is the shadow education secretary, bridget phillipson. good morning to you . phillipson. good morning to you. isuppose phillipson. good morning to you. i suppose this is new territory really for labour trying to convince the shires that you are a patriotic party, the party of the, i suppose, of the british, sort of national pride party, if you like. how are you going to convince everybody of that ? convince everybody of that? >> yeah, we're incredibly proud of our country and the labour party. we don't shy away from that. and keir starmer is setting out today the sense of pride that we feel in our country. but how we need to harness that to make sure that our young people get a really great start in life. and that's why talking about the why i'm talking about the contribution that sport to
7:32 am
contribution that sport makes to national life. that national life. but that for too many they're many young people, they're increasingly shut out of those opportunities . you know, falling opportunities. you know, falling hours pe activity at hours in terms of pe activity at school and a gulf that's opening up between access to sport for children in state schools compared to private schools. and that's labour's got some that's why labour's got some really ambitious around really ambitious plans around changing and changing the curriculum. and also investing in teachers so that our young people get that all of our young people get the take part in a big the chance to take part in a big range of opportunities, because we've amazing sporting we've got these amazing sporting heroes, we risk not heroes, but we risk not supporting next generation supporting the next generation to through we get it to come through unless we get it right school. right at school. >> bridget, you're absolutely right, or may not right, and you may or may not have heard the debate had have heard the debate we had just before the break about saint george's day and, who should of saint should be proud of saint george's or not? and there george's day or not? and there there seems be an there seems to be an identification problem with all of that. but what you're talking about for kids, for their physical health, for their mental health, for their whole way , well—being and sense of way, well—being and sense of pride, i mean, this is a win win win, but you've got to be able to support the teachers. that's the .
7:33 am
the question. >> absolutely. i mean, teachers are central to all of this. and you're completely right. the big benefits that come for young people, both in terms of, yes, their physical well—being , but their physical well—being, but also the mental health at the moment. and we that's moment. and we know that's a real pressure. and having access to sport and physical activity is so incredibly important. i'm also worried about the also really worried about the drop off that we see amongst girls and young women as they get as well, fewer of get older, as well, fewer of them taking part in physical activity. there are activity. i mean, there are a range of reasons for that, but if you develop some of those habhs if you develop some of those habits when you're younger, it does then in later does allow you then in later life to pick things back up. it also you stay also allows you to stay active right lives. right throughout our lives. and that's really important. that's that's really important. but young people when but it is for young people when they see this. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> let me you, did you >> let me ask you, did you develop those habits in earlier life? just interested life? i'm just interested because women because lots of lots of women that know right . they always that i know right. they always say they didn't do sport at school because it upset their makeup or their hair or their lipstick whatever. was . lipstick or whatever. it was. and this an issue. this is an and this is an issue. this is an issue with with a lot of girls at they don't like
7:34 am
at this age. and they don't like sweating don't like sweating and they don't like lots things about that. how lots of things about that. how good you or did you get good were you or how did you get involved with sport at school, or did you not? >> i loved sport at school. i took part in lots of clubs and activities at hockey was my game, mainly as i played a lot of hockey when i was at school, which meant that actually more recently, in later years, i've taken up hockey again. i wouldn't have done that had i not taken part in hockey when i was younger. so it does show, you experience that you know, my experience is that if chance to try if you get the chance to try things you're younger, you things when you're younger, you then have opportunity then might have the opportunity to it later on in to return to it later on in life. but you know, taking part in games isn't for in team games isn't for everybody. why everybody. and that's why i think especially point that think especially the point that you're young women you're saying about young women and range of and wanting a range of opportunities. it has to be, you know, running football, hockey , know, running football, hockey, whatever people whatever it might be, people finding that love finding something that they love and for me and enjoy. and that, for me is what really matters. making what really matters. and making sure teachers have got sure that our teachers have got the support that they need to offer. those range of activities to young to and to and to young women and to and to and to young women and to and to as well. to boys as well. >> you're talking about private
7:35 am
schools versus state schools there. talk there. and i just want to talk to this 20% that to you about this 20% vat that you're proposing add to fees. you're proposing to add to fees. you you'll raise 1.6 you reckon you'll raise 1.6 billion, but a new survey suggests that actually 1 in 4 parents would take their children out of private school, which means you would likely raise far less than that. and that's not accounting for it's thought. all those schools which may go under because it's not sustainable with the number of pupils leaving the sector. so it seems though this 1.6 billion seems as though this 1.6 billion figure that you've landed on is rather flimsy. >> so the figure that we use to work out how much we think this policy will raise is from the independent institute for fiscal studies, and they reckon that the policy will raise 1.3 to £1.5 billion net. so that's overall when you take account of any potential for, you know, any potential for change within the sector. but they've been clear they don't anticipate the kinds of numbers that you've just described there in terms of changes within the state system and alongside that, you know, we've got a falling birth rate,
7:36 am
we've got a falling birth rate, we've got a falling birth rate, we've got falling rules within our schools. so fewer young people coming through. there is pretty to be surplus pretty soon going to be surplus capacity our schools . capacity in lots of our schools. so i don't accept the numbers. but this is about but ultimately this is about what we use that money for and what we use that money for and what i'm talking to you about today in terms of making sure that young people get a range of sporting that sporting opportunities, that they to take part they get the chance to take part in we've to find ways of in pe, we've got to find ways of funding that, would use funding that, and i would use the that we would raise by the money that we would raise by ending the tax breaks for private in private schools to invest in more our more opportunities within our state young people state schools, for young people to to take part to have the chance to take part in sport, which is something i know really matters to know that really matters to parents where increasingly parents and where increasingly young are getting young people are not getting the access that they deserve. >> well, bridget >> okay, well, bridget phillipson is the shadow education secretary she says education secretary and she says redeeming harnessing redeeming and harnessing patriotic pride is central to the generation sporting the next generation of sporting talent. and, bridget, we've got to say goodbye to you because we've got to talk more sport here in the studio. but thank you and good luck. if those plans come to fruition. thank you very much indeed, bridget phillipson. there paul coyte
7:37 am
here, nottingham forest saw sending off paul. tell us what it's about and give us your opinion . opinion. >> well everton won two nil against nottingham forest yesterday but nottingham forest seem to have had such bad luck recently with refereeing decisions. so there were three does everybody everybody does hasn't everybody everybody does. but the thing is there were three yesterday that were you know there was a, there was one i think was a stonewall penalty. but what they've done and i think this is wrong saying this is deliberate against them, well is what saying well this is what they're saying and what i think is and this is what i think is wrong because arsenal did this a couple months ago against couple of months ago against newcastle. they were sounding couple of months ago against neiandtle. they were sounding couple of months ago against neiand sayingey were sounding couple of months ago against neiand saying the ere sounding couple of months ago against neiand saying the quality1ding couple of months ago against neiand saying the quality of1g off and saying the quality of the good the refereeing is not good enough. out the enough. it turned out the referee right time. referee was right this time. nottingham have nottingham forest have put a statement out saying we wanted the is the refereeing the pgmol who is the refereeing body, that they them that body, that they warn them that the var the in charge of the var, the man in charge of var, a luton fan. before the var, is a luton fan. before the game, but they didn't change him. our patience has been tested multiple times and we will now consider our options. so basically pointing the so it's basically pointing the finger attwell. the
7:38 am
finger at stuart attwell. the var it's because var saying it's because you're a luton fan. that's why you never gave us the penalties, which is nonsense. >> okay. well let's find out more about this. we're joined now the former of now by the, the former chief of referees, keith hackett. keith, good thanks your good morning. thanks for your time what do you think of time today. what do you think of what forest are doing in the accusations that they're making ? accusations that they're making? >> well, of course i don't accept them. but this the arrangement is that at the start of each season , the referees of each season, the referees have to declare which clubs they have to declare which clubs they have any allegiance to. and then the role of the pgmol as a duty of care , particularly when we of care, particularly when we have promotions and relegations , have promotions and relegations, means you would keep those match officials well away from those clubs. so if, for example , mike clubs. so if, for example, mike deanin clubs. so if, for example, mike dean in the past has declared his allegiance to tranmere rovers , if tranmere rovers are rovers, if tranmere rovers are in a relegation fight, you would keep mike dean away from any club that's involved in that promotion or relegation
7:39 am
scenario. so for me it's a bit of common sense. i think it's a duty of care that the pgmol appear to have failed on, and they need to revisit that . but they need to revisit that. but for a club to actually say we don't want this referee and we want this one or whatever, that's an absolute no no. and i think forest should have stuck to it. was this a penalty kick or not? there were certainly one absolutely nailed on. we know the problems around handball. you know , put a finger in the you know, put a finger in the air and see which way the wind is blowing to get a decision on handball. some are given, some are not. there's inconsistency, but that in fact is not down to the match officials. that is down to the wording in the law that needs to be changed. >> keith, what you said about stuart attwell though, this is interesting because yes, you can have referees or var or assistant referees who are fans of clubs, but these are career referees. this is their job.
7:40 am
there's no way that anybody i mean, and i honestly do believe that they're going to go so far through their career to get to the pinnacle and then decide, you know what, i won't give it because my team may benefit out of it. surely this is never going to happen? or am i being a little too naive about the whole situation? no i don't, think situation? no i don't, i think at the of the day, we know at the end of the day, we know that the integrity of match officials not in question . officials is not in question. >> yeah, competence is a problem in consistency that even eamonn is referred to at many clubs get poor decisions and we have to recognise at the moment that we're in a bit of a trough in terms of referee performances, they're not good enough. anthony taylor is regarded as our number one two referee and he missed the nailed on penalty kick yesterday. and at that point the var should have come in. he didn't. now you know ultimately that's down to var to some degree. and the referee . the degree. and the referee. the relationship between var and referee is not working. i think
7:41 am
we need an independent panel of var operators . we need a greater var operators. we need a greater amount of training and education. >> what what did you think of the coventry goal ruled offside at the end of the match yesterday in the fa cup semi—final. >> i mean, it must have been the var evidence was in front of me there and paul and i talked about this earlier. i still just couldn't see it. i'm a man u supporter but i just couldn't still see that this guy was was offside. i mean it's a it's a tough call. what do you think ? tough call. what do you think? >> well, i think the benefit of the doubt in this situation should go to the forward. yeah i agree i just think, you know, i think that i know that the technical , system that they're technical, system that they're operating to come to this decision on is flawed. that is why the premier league next season will be introducing the semi automated offside system, because they themselves are not satisfied with what is happening. this you know, this
7:42 am
decision yesterday, although under the under the terms is correct. he's just ruining football for all of us. he was a wonderful goal . football for all of us. he was a wonderful goal. he football for all of us. he was a wonderful goal . he should have wonderful goal. he should have counted and added to the spectacle . spectacle. >> it didn't and you're spot on. the advantage to the striker every time. and i never see it applied, never see it applied . applied, never see it applied. keith would love to talk more. we're out of time. you got to leave it there. thanks for your time this morning. thank you very much indeed. >> there's a whole toenail offside. a whole toenail, offside. it was a whole toenail, for out loud. for crying out loud. >> i know, i know, i'm not even taking mate. be taking joy, mate. i should be celebrating. and know the celebrating. and you know the fact in the cup and, fact we're in the cup final and, you know, being a united supporter and. yeah. and i just feel coventry. feel sorry for coventry. >> absolutely. absolutely. >> absolutely. yeah, absolutely. they get there. they did amazing to get there. but should probably be but they should probably be in the final. but they should probably be in the but|l. but they should probably be in the but then, you know, life's >> but then, you know, life's tough. >> think you go that's >> i think you go that's football after football right back after the break begins. >> dawn
7:46 am
lots of debate and opinion from dawn neesom as to the stories that are making the news today. don this whole thing about mark rowley, the metropolitan police commissioner, the prime minister jumping in and saying, you know, he isn't right. he hasn't backed the police chief over this, this protest that there was at the weekend about the man who was obviously jewish, gideon falter. what's your view? yeah. >> i mean , obviously, it's now >> i mean, obviously, it's now reached the prime minister rishi sunakis reached the prime minister rishi sunak is getting involved. there are calls for sir mark rowley, who is head of the metropolitan police, to resign from both suella braverman and priti patel, the sir mark rowley has got meetings today with james cleverly , the home secretary, cleverly, the home secretary, and the policing minister, chris phillips , what is going to come phillips, what is going to come out of that meeting? i don't know what everyone expects to happen. i'm not sure. i mean, do we think sir mark rowley should lose his job over this incident? i personally don't i know the buck the top, but, you
7:47 am
buck stops at the top, but, you could argue the tops rishi sunak. could argue the tops rishi surwell, yes, absolutely , >> well, well, yes, absolutely, rishi sunak hasn't actually said anything yet, but he's not come out and defended sir mark rowley. that's for certain. i mean, this all goes back. i mean, this all goes back. i mean, to gideon falter the jewish chap who involved who was trying to cross the road when there was a palestinian protest march, a peace march going on. gideon says he was simply walking from the synagogue. there's much debate about whether maybe trying to whether he was maybe trying to agitate the situation and make a political point, which i mean, mission accomplished, if that was what he wanted to do, but i the, the whole debate, i think, rather than whether sir mark rowley should resign , comes down rowley should resign, comes down to should these peace marches now be still allowed to go ahead a gideon falter says that he was abused horrifically with scum. he was called a nazi. he was called unclean by these peaceful protesters. and if there was a right wing march, whatever your definition of right wing is these days , they were hurling
7:48 am
these days, they were hurling abuse like that at a jewish person, a black person and an asian person. they would be arrested and taken off. whereas people on these peace marches seem to be able to get away with saying what they want. so we come back this two tier come back to this two tier policing. so that is the question i think need question i think we need answering mark answering today, when sir mark rowley james cleverly , rowley does meet james cleverly, is there two tier facing? are certain protest groups treated differently to others? and i think we all know the answer to that one yes. well john that one is yes. well john saying to us today, the police did their job, made the did their job, made sure the person did their job, made sure the perwhat would have happened if >> what would have happened if he or killed very he was injured or killed very good jesse says ehm. and good point, jesse says ehm. and the point policeman who the point is the policeman who advised jewish guy not to advised the jewish guy not to cross because he said he was openly jewish. the thing is, openly jewish. but the thing is, jesse, was openly jewish. he jesse, he was openly jewish. he had cap. why shouldn't had a skull cap. why shouldn't he be allowed to, i suppose would be his argument and says if the marches were peaceful, it wouldn't be a problem. >> but i suppose is it a breach of the peace to shout something, no matter how horrible and offensive is? that not
7:49 am
offensive that is? is that not the freedom of speech, the right to assembly, the right to protest ? because what happens if protest? because what happens if we start down on all of we start clamping down on all of those things? becomes, you those things? it becomes, you know, state. know, a police state. >> everyone has the >> absolutely. everyone has the right to peacefully protest. but i think when you are creating racial hatred like some people, not everybody, most people on these marches just want the horrors of what's happening in gaza to stop completely understandable . but some people understandable. but some people are being incredibly offensive. and are accusing jewish and if you are accusing jewish people of being nazis or being scum, telling they're unclean and that we are coming for you, then there has to be an issue there. and i keep saying, if this was a right wing group doing this, there would be hauled in police vans. hauled off in police vans. but, you you could you know, before you could say anything, okay, so we'll anything, i mean, okay, so we'll be a few things to suella be saying a few things to suella braverman have in about ten braverman have her in about ten minutes time live on. >> program begins. brazen >> the program begins. brazen looters filled bin bags are shoplifting in a year. shoplifting doubles in a year. tell us more. >> well, it is terrifying what's happening. and this is another interesting police thing because
7:50 am
they have no interest in shoplifting. they have no interest in in in cybercrime, fraud, rape, a knife crimes are soaring. i mean, the terrible things are happening, but what is so interesting about looting , is so interesting about looting, they now are going with bin bags. i mean, it's because they know they're going to fill them. yes, because they know they're going to fill them. >> chairwoman of the john lewis partnership, which also owns waitrose, that never waitrose, says that she never expected a top expected crime to be a top priority. but she says shoplifting has now become the number one thing for many stores. >> t y of course, the who >> well, and of course, the who pays for it? we do because they then have to put their prices up because simple. i mean, because it's simple. i mean, it's not difficult maths if people are going out stealing , people are going out stealing, they're not going to. >> but you know, it's not people going out stealing. they will we'll all hear about this and there'll be, you know, the cases where we could say, we can understand someone that. understand why someone did that. these crime organisations. these are crime organisations. >> absolutely.
7:51 am

confiscated . and this was confiscated. and this was a worrying thing, isabel. he was saying that it's been the most horrific stuff on there. you know, as young as 11 and 12 know, kids as young as 11 and 12 are engaging in blackmailing are engaging in in blackmailing people, catfishing, people, in catfishing, just being to one another being horrible to one another and to other people, to strangers. this is a huge, huge problem. is saying that if we problem. he is saying that if we had a 12 hour school day where kids got there and they were engagedin kids got there and they were engaged in doing other things and socially engaging with one another a long time, 12 hours, it's too long. >> i mean, i was starting to think my own schooling days, and they have started at nine, they would have started at nine, finished six, probably. finished at six, probably. and then i don't what all this then i don't know what all this complaint is about. we nine complaint is about. we had nine subjects a day and we would go home to have to do least home to have to do at least eight so whelan eight homeworks. so ella whelan finishing at 6:00, you're working till 10:00 or so in the evening . so i don't know all evening. so i don't know all this. they talk about pressure and things. it has always existed, but there is a healthy balance between extracurricular stuff and stuff that's on. >> but i certainly think this idea of kids that aren't engaged

way this afternoon. join me later the forecast with later for the full forecast with all details all the details. >> and this metropolitan police anti—semitism . rye is big news anti—semitism. rye is big news today. it was big news yesterday. big news today. lots of people calling for marc riley, the head of the metropolitan police, to resign . metropolitan police, to resign. a question we're putting out to you today is why? why you had a police officer suella braverman amongst the people who are not happy and wants riley to go. but we had a policeman on saturday telling what what he said was an openly jewish man trying to cross through this protest at aldwych. and he said, look, sir, you're openly jewish. meaning he looked jewish because he had a skull cap on you shouldn't cross the road. and for your own safety and the fact that this would cause a civil disturbance, disturbance on this. joining us now , former home secretary
8:03 am
now, former home secretary suella braverman, suella. good morning to you. what what what on earth was wrong with that police officer ? simply doing his police officer? simply doing his job, trying to keep the peace and everyone safe . and everyone safe. >> well, thank you for having me on. good morning . i think on. good morning. i think there's a crisis here. really? after six months of hundreds of thousands of people regularly taking to the streets to march, now i don't object to the peaceful, the right to peaceful protest. but as we saw in this incident and this is reflective of what's been going on for six months, these can no longer be described as peaceful marches that the police themselves believe that there is a threat of anti—semitic violence, anti—semitic attack, and what they did in that incident was to protect the right of the protesters, to harass, intimidate and behave in an
8:04 am
anti—semitic way. and at the same time tell an innocent jewish person that that person needs to give up their rights, that that person needs to stay away. that's striking the wrong balance when it comes to dealing with this challenging situation. >> so what would you have preferred to have happened? you'd have preferred them to have arrested the people that were making the unacceptable slurs. called slurs. i think he was called things killer, things like scum, baby killer, other words. you say other horrible words. you say that their rights were being protected . they should have been protected. they should have been targeted by the police and those particular individuals. >> that's what the police should have done. and that reflects the big errors carried done by the leadership. we're here. what the police should have done is confronted the threat directly. if they believe that there were people, individuals, groups who were threatening , abusive, were threatening, abusive, behaving in an anti—semitic way, that may have led to violence. they should have been warning those people . they should have those people. they should have been arresting those people if they committed a criminal
8:05 am
offence, not the opposite, which was to threaten arrest to an innocent jewish civilian who was going about to exercise his rights peacefully. that's a total inversion of right and wrong, and it reflects the wrong approach that's been taken. but it was, but it was it was a practical approach. >> it was a practical approach . >> it was a practical approach. and, i mean, you saw the crowds going up aldwych there , and i going up aldwych there, and i think the flow was whatever are you suggesting that you like a lollipop man or woman? the police officers should have walked out into the middle of that and said, stop, hold on, hold on. yes, sir. you, mr falter, you can come through here. and i think the big problem was they said he looked obviously jewish or openly, openly jewish. and he did. he did. so are you suggesting that's what should have happened ? >> well, 7 >> well, what i'm ? >> well, what i'm suggesting is that the police should be if they don't have the resources to
8:06 am
keep the streets of london safe for everyone to enjoy, then they need to ban the march. that's up to the met commissioner to apply to the met commissioner to apply to the met commissioner to apply to the home secretary if he believes he doesn't have sufficient resources to enable the public public order to be maintained, he can do that. he's not done that . and also, what's not done that. and also, what's horrendous about this is that to be asking someone to stay away because of their ethnicity, because of their ethnicity, because they're openly jewish, is a disgrace. >> i've it's not it's a safe thing to do. i mean, are you are you seriously telling me if you were a police officer on the ground, you'd said, okay, mr falter, you're absolutely right. >> off you go. walk in the middle of that whole protest looking jewish as you do, and we'll guarantee your safety. are you saying that's what should have happened? >> there was abuse being shouted at him. there was anti—semitic language being used in the cracks. that is all criminal.
8:07 am
the police should be arresting those who are committing criminal offences, not allowing them the space to continue with their criminality and urging everybody else to stay out of the way. that's a totally wrong approach to policing . approach to policing. >> but as you are aware, the vast majority of people who attend these rallies are protesting peacefully about the what they see as the unacceptable loss of civilian life . a huge number of children life. a huge number of children having been killed in gaza. if you shut down that protest because of the views of a minority, is that any different from what people were attempting to do at natcon in brussels last week, where the mayor there objected to the anti—gay anti—abortion views of a number of people who were on stage . of people who were on stage. >> listen, war is terrible. there's been tragedy out in the middle east and there are really strongly held views on both sides of this debate. but it cannot be right that that whereas this debate plays out on the streets of britain, that one
8:08 am
group of people can no longer exercise their rights peacefully and safely. if that's the case, if the police themselves assess that there is a risk of anti—semitic violence, these can no longer be called peaceful marches. there is a level of hatefulness which is unmanaged , hatefulness which is unmanaged, bazball, unacceptable and intolerable . intolerable. >> i see and i hear what you're saying, mr braverman , about all saying, mr braverman, about all of that. so i can accept that after what happened on saturday, perhaps we should go back and review and say, look, this is this is not working. this is not right. the threat of violence exists here. but the problem is and i put it to you that you're getting the police officer who made the statements, who stopped the man going. he's being villainized about all of this. and mark rowley, up until now, i mean, yes, from here on in change your plan, rowley. if that's if that's what we're
8:09 am
asking you to do . but is he asking you to do. but is he really to carry the can for all of this as to what's happening so far ? so far? >> well, i think listen, my complaint is not against the individual officers on the ground. they're dealing with a really difficult situation and they're doing their best. this is about the orders that they are following and that those come from the top. and there's been a strategic failure here by mark, sir mark rowley. he is basically applied the same approach that the police apply to managing football crowds. and what they do then is they say , what they do then is they say, well, the larger group, we're going to choose that group and we're going to protect that larger group and any other smaller groups or individuals who come along. we're going to we're going to wave them on and tell them to stay away. you can't apply that approach to this issue. this is about a complex and emotive subject. people are dying in the middle east. people feel very strongly it's about race. it's about religion, it's about identity. you can't apply. this is not about man—u versus liverpool fans. this is about two
8:10 am
different groups of people wanting to exercise their rights . if they're doing so peacefully, that's all that's great. and they can allow they can be allowed to do that. but we've seen for months now anti—semitic chanting, the chanting of jihad , anti—semitic chanting of jihad, anti—semitic slogans, the scaling of war memorials , the firing of flares. memorials, the firing of flares. the police have allowed that to happen. the police have allowed that to happen . they've turned a blind happen. they've turned a blind eye to all of that. and as a result , we're seeing result, we're seeing unprecedented levels of anti—semitism, disproportionate police resource. this is the important point. disproportionate police resource being deployed to these marches. £32 million, 30,000 officers shifts and 5000 officer rest days have been cancelled to police these marches. we can't carry on like this. well except that if huge numbers of people are marching, i mean democratic rights. >> the police. >> the police. >> yeah, you know, there's huge, huge volumes and they've made their point. exercise made their point. >> well, people are still dying in the middle east. but look,
8:11 am
we've got limited time. i want to just ask you about the rwanda bill. you'll be aware the prime minister has promised those flights are going to take off in the spring. not much left of spring, but he'll be hopeful that the bill will pass through. it's this afghan concession that seems to be a sticking point in the lords. and i just want to ask you your own view in all of this, three former chiefs of the defence staff, as well as a former chief of the general staff and a former chief of the naval staff, have warned the prime minister that failing to allow interpreters that helped british forces in afghanistan into this country is a dereliction of our moral duty. crossbench is also very upset about this, and a huge number of conservatives behind the scenes. i understand you want to get those flights off the ground, but surely this one amendment can be allowed . can be allowed. >> if i'm honest, i don't really take a view on this amendment because i believe fundamentally the bill is fatally flawed. and with or without this amendment, it's going to fail. with or without this amendment, it's going to fail . so i believe it's going to fail. so i believe the bill won't work . and that's the bill won't work. and that's the bill won't work. and that's the more serious issue. it won't work because it's left too many
8:12 am
gaps. it won't work because people who are going to be detained will bring individual claims immediately and will just clog up the courts, and we won't get them off on flights to rwanda. that's the big problem. so i don't really take a view on this amendment, which i believe is , incidental to the bigger is, incidental to the bigger issue that we've got with the bill. and just quickly, i can't resist because i've got you. >> and i know you've written an opinion piece in the papers recently about this. and just about half an hour ago, we had bridget phillipson on talking about private schools. i was saying to her about this latest figure, they've come up with 1.6 billion. they think they're going to generate from adding vat to private school fees . vat to private school fees. you've got a strong opinion on this. what is it ? this. what is it? >> well, that figure has been debunked by various experts. so it's a total overestimation of what this very punitive and anti—social justice proposal will achieve . i've, i think that will achieve. i've, i think that this is really, really damaging , this is really, really damaging, you know, there are many, many
8:13 am
thousands of independent schools out there which provide really valuable services, they are, you know, aspirational families who are going to them. in many cases, there are special education needs schools. so children with complex learning difficulties go to independent schools because there isn't availability elsewhere . faith availability elsewhere. faith schools also provide a particular provision that some parents want to give their children. many of these schools will be jeopardised by this punitive attack on aspiration. this punitive and unjustified attack on social justice. i believe passionately about education, and i believe labour's policy is anti—equality and anti aspiration. >> okay , suella braverman, thank >> okay, suella braverman, thank you very much. thank you. >> thanks for your time. suella. thank you. i'll leave it there. right. the time is 8:13 o'clock on this monday morning. and the child serial killer lucy letby is bid to challenge her convictions, set to be considered by the court of appeal . lawyers for letby will

just happened to be in the eggs. >> i wish man united were on drugs yesterday, i think they were, weren't they, in the second half? >> well, this headline, the most humiliating victory , it just humiliating victory, it just just says it all. i mean, i'm embarrassed, really. i'm embarrassed, really. i'm embarrassed by by my team . 70 embarrassed by by my team. 70 minutes left, three goals up against a lower division team. and honestly , i really do and honestly, i really do believe coventry should have won that yesterday. >> i think. so i think everybody apart from manchester united fans, maybe even some manchester united, i think a lot, i think a lot would have looked at that and thought, what on earth is going on? >> tell you a man and a very interesting position. former footballer terry gibson terry, who played for both both man u and coventry, and he played for spurs and fa cup winner with wimbledon as well in 88, we should mention the mole on the mole, the perfect guest, monty terry . terry. >> good morning gentlemen. terry. >> what did what did you what did you think? i mean, i speak as a man u supporter and, i just couldn't believe what was happening .
8:26 am
happening. >> no. three nil. it was going all according to plan, i think you have to look at the reaction of bruno fernandes and harry maguire. they look deflated when they were interviewed after winning an fa cup semi—final because they knew the position they were in. they were three nil up. there was 20 minutes to go when coventry scored their first goal and out of nowhere, which is football, throws up these games every now and then at three nil up, coventry didn't look like getting one goal back and then suddenly one goal comes and then suddenly one goal comes and then suddenly one goal comes and then two, and then they get the equaliser with a penalty in the equaliser with a penalty in the last minute. and it was, it was. >> but you see and that and that var goal that was ruled offside i mean that's debateable as well i mean that's debateable as well i mean that was that was so close. but terry it comes to this point whereby the fa have scrapped these replays the replays in the fa cup and people talk about if i hear again all the cups, not what it used to be, all the magic of the cups, not there. i mean it does not get better than what we saw yesterday and indeed the first semi—final, the city against chelsea semi—final on the
8:27 am
saturday was a great match as well. i mean, surely the fa cup is alive and well . is alive and well. >> it is. and that was a much needed reminder. i agree with you both. semi—finals were excellent to watch. yesterday's was a classic and if coventry's goal had been allowed, it might be one of the greatest fa cup moments ever to be three nil down a championship club against a top premier league team , and a top premier league team, and to come back and win four three would have been would have been right in the top ten list of greatest fa cup moments. so it was a needed reminder how important the fa cup is to everybody in this, this country that watches football. yeah. and you know, i don't agree with them scrapping the replays. >> well i mean look look at you terry. i mean you're part of that wimbledon side. you know, one of the greatest underdogs to win the fa cup. you've played in replays. remember one you played at old trafford as well. it's just devalue ing the fa cup isn't it. and also they're not even talking to the smaller clubs about this. it's only the premier league and it and it seems to be the power is just being taken away and taken away
8:28 am
and it end up they'll probably have their own way. we know fa cup at all. >> well we're talking we're referring to maybe 7 or 8 clubs in the premier league that play in the premier league that play in european football are the ones that probably have instigated all of this, that play instigated all of this, that play on a regular basis. and, you know, the fa cup replays over the years have been tremendous. and i remember playing as one of the when i was playing, you had replay after replay after replay and that was quite common to have that. but more you're more champions league games next season, more international matches, probably with the bigger european championships and world cups. but everyone's forgetting that, you know, domestic football has its place and the fa cup has its place in history in english football . so, you know, as football. so, you know, as a young player, i was 17 years old and played . my second and third and played. my second and third match for spurs was against manchester united , the fa cup at manchester united, the fa cup at white hart lane. we drew one one. three days later we're up at old trafford, winning one nil in extra time. if ossie ardiles is scoring a goal in extra time and i was 17, i'll never forget that. if it'd been now, that first game would have been extra time and penalties and the old
8:29 am
trafford match would never have happened, which spurs supporters still talk about, i'm sure united about. let me ask one. ryan giggs scores the winning goal against arsenal. ryan giggs scores the winning goal against arsenal . that was goal against arsenal. that was a story. >> yeah, but for one, for you and for eamonn. so there's the talk that maybe there's some sort of compromise that maybe instead of just having a replay , instead of just having a replay, that then this lower club would have the choice of whether they want to play the game at home or if they want to play away , if they want to play away, because then they're going to make a bigger gate. receipts i for see me, it still doesn't make any difference because it's actually about winning the chance of winning the game at home, and then you get another shot at it and then you get the money after that. >> yeah. and the money's very, very important. >> it is. but also winning is to i mean, as terry was saying there basically this affects seven eight clubs in the premier league. >> and it's okay when you are part of that. but if you're in this first division, second division, third division, whatever this money is so important. and you know, terry, look at those coventry
8:30 am
supporters yesterday. you look at the man united supporters the same. it doesn't matter. many semi—finals. you've been in coventry. this may never ever ever happen in their history again. the chance that they were in the semi—final, ready to go through to the final like that and the fans, they loved it. they it brought that whole city together and this was a club that was facing extinction a number of years ago in the near past, well over 30 years, consecutive playing in the top flight. >> and it's been 20 years now since they've been out of the top flight. and seven years ago they were in division two. so i have a lot of affection for coventry and wimbledon. i think mentioned utd and spurs, my other former clubs, they don't need my support. but coventry and wimbledon have needed support over the years, so it's a crushing for blow coventry to be honest. they're going to miss out in the play offs. i fear again this season because of their fa cup exploits. but you know you would love to see them back in the top flight. in saying all of that, i still don't think the semi—final should be at wembley. i think that yesterday should be a really great. yeah, because the
8:31 am
prize of getting to the cup final was getting to wembley. yeah, not winning a quarter final and thinking we're at wembley. so there's loads of things that can change. but for coventry they lost the penalty shootout last at the end of last season against luton to go into the play offs. now they lose another penalty shootout. surely that they deserve a good turn of fortune in the future . fortune in the future. >> robins must emerge from all of this with great credit, though. >> the manager at manchester manager, that's what he is . manager, that's what he is. >> what he's done at coventry has been remarkable and there's only two players that played yesterday that started the game, that finished that played in last season's play off final. so he's had to rebuild the team and losing two top players. they got a lot of money there. doug king, the chairman, has played a huge part as well. we saw him on on on the television yesterday. he's really involved in the rebuilding of coventry city football club . fantastic fan football club. fantastic fan base now which is much bigger. yeah, more vibrant than when i was playing at the club. so the future looks really bright for
8:32 am
coventry and mark robins. is vital to that. >> got to ask the both of you. come the 25th of may and the final, you've got another manchester derby final, paul , manchester derby final, paul, who do you think will win? >> i don't think it's much doubt about it. i really don't, i think i think it's how many they're going to score eamonn is what it's going to be. no, seriously, i think it'll be city. you never know what. you never know what united you're going to get. but, man city i thought, looked a bit tired. city are a machine. >> they did look tired. terry, what do you think about united off? >> it's on the back of yesterday. i mean, when united played well, they played well recently against liverpool and had good results. they're capable of doing better and it's the fa cup. they don't go in. they go in as underdogs. but not massive underdogs. it's man united of course. and you know city can be going right to the end to win the league. they're going to be jaded going to be physically tired. so yeah i sit here favourites. but i wouldn't rule united out. >> it's like united are going to be the new wimbledon terry. that's what it's going to be. can you imagine like the
8:33 am
liverpool game back then the culture club or is it the old, the old john motson crazy gang beat the culture club? there you go. >> john motson i appreciate your time and your views. thank you very much for joining time and your views. thank you very much forjoining us time and your views. thank you very much for joining us this morning. say goodbye to you. thank you very much. always pleasure. >> thank you. gentlemen, thank you. >> crazy gang beat the culture club that was back in 88. >> listen, mate, you know we give in to big business. these european interests, this uefa, this fifa, american interests, new owners of the club. we're seeing this and what's going on with nottingham forest at the minute and whatever. and we're going to become a league where people are suing one another. and it's all about, you know, the cm teams will win the cm cups all the time . well, we cups all the time. well, we don't want to see and we don't want to see. it would be, i think, of how good for the game it would have been for coventry to reach the final. it would have been like, i mean, honestly, there was one stage yesterday when the when the offside goal went in, none of us knew it was offside. coventry was celebrating. i just flopped and just thought, well, that's
8:34 am
it. and yet i didn't feel anger. i don't know what. it was a strange feeling because i knew these guys were worth it. yeah. >> that's it. i think the whole thing was at the end of the game. i've never seen a fan base react the way they did the players. it was an embarrassment, wasn't it? it was just like, we've got away with this. we've just about got away with this and we really don't want to discuss it anymore. let's just move on, okay? >> we don't want to discuss anything else, okay? anymore. that's enough of that. thank you, thank you, thank you. >> katie, stay with us. still to come. we'll be going through today's papers and our
8:37 am
next. >> story. that's. dawn's oh, it's a door. >> don't mind us. we're just discussing where we're starting, so we're just going to start. >> we've got, dawn neesom christopher biggins here, and, we've got a story in the daily mail. dawn which i think is very interesting. men are more likely to be truthful , speaking to a
8:38 am
to be truthful, speaking to a pretty girl than an ugly girl. >> so you can be honest with me, eamonn. right. yeah. this is, it's a it's a survey done by, researcher and scientists, ironically, in israel and what they did is they, they handed men a dice game and a picture of a pretty girl on the server. they had to fill in. yeah. and a plain looking girl. and they found that this survey, the men were more likely to be honest about what numbers they'd thrown on the dice if they thought the researcher studying their results was a prettier woman than the plain woman. quite interesting . yeah, and they've interesting. yeah, and they've just expanded this into everyday life that pretty girls , life that pretty girls, actually, men are more honest with them. however, the same experiment didn't work with women and women, but but using other women. when women were given this research to do. and again, a pretty woman on the survey, they were filling in after this, women were more likely to be honest with the plainer looking researcher. yes,
8:39 am
the supposed researcher , but we the supposed researcher, but we don't know if women would have been more truthful if it was a good looking guy. they didn't do that bit, which would have been the obvious bit, but i'm sure they would. >> i mean, a pretty boy is a nice thought, isn't it? >> is it? isn't it? oh, i think |, >> is it? isn't it? oh, i think i, i think begins i've said this before. >> i think life is much easier for anybody, male or female, if they are good looking, i agree. >> well, i have a theory about this . do you? >> well, i have a theory about this. do you? some of my best friends i think are exceptionally good looking and in their life they've always been attracting the jocks, the guys who want a trophy wife. and it's taken them a lot of kissing frogs till they found a decent bloke, because . because they're bloke, because. because they're so pretty. and i think that can be a bit of a curse . be a bit of a curse. >> do you think so? >> do you think so? >> i think it's, i think if you are to get service in a shop, if you are to get a job. yeah. but if you go to the queue, i think life is generally much easier for good looking people . for good looking people. >> i think the yeah, the one drawback i can think of is in
8:40 am
certainly in some careers, if you are ridiculously pretty, and certainly if you're a woman and you you, you fulfil the typical male fantasy , blonde hair, great male fantasy, blonde hair, great boobs, etc. etc, very petite then you might not be taken as seriously. i think it can be a drawback if you're too pretty for women in some areas, but it's very nice to wake up and look across and find someone rather attractive. >> we're all shallow, aren't we? we like our homes to look nice and therefore we like our people to look nice. there was a theory at school where we were being told to put our photographs on our cv because, you know, if you looked nice in your picture, you stood more chance of doing well, well, controversial . well, controversial. >> i'll agree. i think all cvs should have a picture attached to them to help bring the cv to life, but apparently apparently you're not allowed to do that. is that right ? is that right? >> apparently it's well, not in our industry. >> illegal is probably some sort of discrimination around there, isn't it? >> well, you know, we sort of discrimination or practicality, you know , there's times where you know, there's times where you're going to look at a certain person and you see their
8:41 am
weight or their height or whatever, and that will, preclude you from offering them whatever you're supposed to offer. >> someone was extra tall. you wouldn't want to hire them. >> i think if people , do not >> i think if people, do not conform to normality. yeah, they're in they're in dodgy territory. okay, let's talk about this bloomin rwanda bill. and fed up talking about this. >> you know what it's like? it's like rwanda has become a word like rwanda has become a word like brexit, isn't it? yeah. like. oh, yeah . oh, no. like. oh, yeah. oh, no. >> but of all the but of all the objections from the lords dawn, is this one about afghanistan, one of the few that everybody could kind of say this is morally wrong to be sending these people off. how are they supposed to get in safe and legally now? andrew mitchell telling us this morning there is a safe and legal route? well, there isn't. we know that there's a catch. >> so, so what are we talking about with the people from afghanistan? >> but those interpreters in afghanistan who were translators for our british men and women who helped to us stay alive in
8:42 am
that country, are not able to get in and would be deported under the current rwanda bill. and so all the top brass and all the army generals and crossbench opposition are saying this is this is wrong. it's immoral. >> it does seem ridiculous, but, you know, the first migrants are due to be sent to rwanda, are expected to be notified this week as rishi sunak forces the bill through. it's the game of pink on between the house of lords and the house of commons, andifs lords and the house of commons, and it's going back, probably to the house of lords again, and the house of lords again, and the one thing they have said, as you just said, isabel, is this the afghanistan thing? and supposedly there is a safe and legal route, as there is for ukrainians and as there is for, hong kong chinese who want to come. >> well, it's not what the top brass are saying. >> who chose uganda? rwanda? >> who chose uganda? rwanda? >> i think it was the first country that they were successful in trying to find this kind of deal with. i know they've been trying with lots of other countries as well, and they all said no. well, at the moment they're hoping that there might be some extra, of these, like with costa rica, botswana , like with costa rica, botswana, armenia. i can't remember the other one. we talked about it
8:43 am
last week. there were four other countries they're now exploring, but just that rwanda was the first one to come forward. i think because they have such a small population after the genocide, because let's talk about police and confidence in the police, a poll, a yougov poll has said that, find that there's an alarming lack of confidence from the general public, more than half of the pubuc public, more than half of the public saying they did not trust the police to solve crimes. and over a third saying they had no faith in the authorities to maintain law and order. >> well, it's a huge percentage, isn't it? you know, i mean, and i think we all feel the same. i think when you when something happens like a common theft, they're very reluctant to do anything about it. certainly no one seems to get put into prison or go to jail or go to court. okay. >> let's ask the courts are overrun. the prisons are overpacked. the police are under—resourced. you'll get all these, politicians coming on and saying there are 20,000 more police officers than there were.
8:44 am
that's because they got rid of 20,000 of them. >> so and then they didn't even interview half of the new ones interview half of the new ones in person. they did it all on video. >> so why do we send them all the people who, the police aren't doing anything about to rwanda ? that would be great, rwanda? that would be great, wouldn't it? >> well, i think there are too many areas where you can bring a charge against someone. now, there are too many areas that should not be regarded as criminal, and that , you know, criminal, and that, you know, for instance, well, it's a problem. it's an issue. let's take social media, for instance. how much police time, how much police resources are there available to police social media. >> well, yeah, i mean, basically people are being interviewed by the police for saying the wrong thing on social media, whereas people burgling houses , burgling people burgling houses, burgling houses are, you know, i mean, nothing's being done at all. we all know. but i mean, you know, and a lot of theft. i mean, certainly things like bike theft. right. okay. i mean, it is important. of course it's important. it should, you know, it should be a zero tolerance to all crime. but most people don't even bother. repeat you know,
8:45 am
reporting things like bike theft now because, you know, nothing's going oh, car theft. >> i've been stealing bikes for so long now because i want them off the roads. >> well, you talk to us about the shoplifters and the bin bags. exactly last time around. that's such good for business them. but are they being prosecuted? apparently you've got to steal something like £250 with the police thing . with the police thing. >> yeah, if it was below £200. yeah. oh, please. >> my parents car got nicked. that was worth a lot more than £250. and they weren't even interested in that i think specifically applying to shoplifting. >> oh, right. >> oh, right. >> but i mean, all sorts of crimes. now just go on. unpoliced. >> i remember years ago when i was at drama school, we had some very sophisticated and, young people and they what they would do is they'd go to a supermarket and you know, that that basket thing at the front, which is small, you can put your handbag in there or a bag. and then there was the main thing and, well, they used to go and they put a joint of meat in that, small compartment. and put their coat over it. and then that's
8:46 am
how they used to get it out and eat for the weekend. criminals? yeah, criminals. but they couldn't they couldn't afford a piece of meat. >> but the point is, i'm making is that people attack the police over this when it's not really the police, it's the system and the police, it's the system and the funding that is to blame here. >> and once again, this comes down to government. people want when a politician's ever going to understand people want law and order. they want a strong police force. they do . they want police force. they do. they want prisons. they want people thrown in prison and locked up. and the idea that when politicians say, well, the prison system is so expensive, whatever , people expensive, whatever, people don't care, they're happy to pay the money. if it if it produces the money. if it if it produces the results back after the .
8:50 am
a lot of talk last week about the sick note system. dawn, do you want to take this further? this is a story in the times today. >> yes, absolutely. and they've come. you know, there are 11 million sick notes were issued last year, double of 2015, and last year, double of 2015, and last week it was all about how we're going to relieve gp's burdens of signing off sick notes. so they're not sick notes now. they're what are they? they're fit notes, aren't they? which is ridiculous. okay. relieve gps by having another level of staffing. do it, so the latest brilliant idea to solve this sick note country problem is sign yourself off work by app. right. okay so if you don't fancy going to work, especially on a monday morning, we all know that feeling, there's a they're going to trial this. that feeling, there's a they're going to trial this . it's going going to trial this. it's going to be an app or a website where you just go in there, answer a few questions about if you've got a bit of a tummy ache, bit of a headache and sneezing a bit over the weekend, fine. here's a sick note take the week off. work. anyone spot any flaws with this one, well of course covid is to blame, isn't it? yeah, i mean flavour, of course, because
8:51 am
they love the idea. i mean, i remember the first, lockdown. it was fantastic. the second one bit boring. but, you know, you can see how people thought, well, this is wonderful. yeah, i can work from home easily, which is such a shame because it's so important to get out and be with people . people. >> well, last week we had the figures on the program come out that 1 in 5 of are economically inactive, contributing nothing. i mean, what are they? what are they living off? i don't understand. and what are their pensions going to be stealing? >> that's what they're doing. >> that's what they're doing. >> they're doing supermarkets i mean you're right. and then we'll get they're all going to live forever and require social care and the nhs, and they won't have contributed anything in tax revenue or to a private pension or to their lives or to their society, you know, and it appues society, you know, and it applies to the younger generation as well, who are suffering a mental health epidemic at the moment. >> and this was a debate last week. i mean, it's like, are you just feeling, you know, the woes of life just getting down your bit? are you properly depressed and properly anxiety? you need
8:52 am
proper help. that's that. you know, it's a difficult one to prove, isn't it? >> well, we talk about getting down and being depressed and whatever. >> so tomorrow , saint george's >> so tomorrow, saint george's day, we had a debate about that, how you would be celebrating the day. would you be celebrating the day? it's not a national holiday. i don't know why, you know, the irish seem to like the national day. the welsh, the scottish, what is it about england that you don't sort of want to wave the saint george's flag? but anyway, in rutland begins, we ran a report today of a statue of queen elizabeth the second being unveiled. and what was really interesting was how genuinely joyous the people were to see this relatively simple thing . this is the thing that's thing. this is the thing that's causing huge joy. >> and also the joy. i think the main joy is the fact it was in rutland and not in london, because, you know, everything usually happens in london, i find it quite amusing that the statue is seven foot high, which of course, the queen wasn't anywhere near seven foot high.
8:53 am
but i think it's. i suppose you have to make it a little bit bigger for people to see. it is. and i love the corgis. as i said earlier, it's heartwarming. >> i mean, she did such an amazing job for this country. you know, even if you're not a monarchist, i mean, you've got to admire the dedication to duty, etc. etc. but the problem is great. it's in rutland and the corgis are lovely and it's pretty good statue. >> and we must say, hugh bradley, sculpted it. you know, and he i think he's in a very good job. >> but why why couldn't we begin to have had that on the plinth in trafalgar square? >> well, i think we will have one on the plinth in trafalgar square. >> weird stuff on there that i don't even understand what it's meant. >> well, i, i think there'd be a permanent statue in london eventually. i mean, there's, i think they're going to sprout up everywhere because of course, she was so loved and just the most wonderful monarch we'll never see again. >> well, it's interesting and very welcoming to see a statue being erected as opposed to one being erected as opposed to one being taken. >> yeah. that's true. that's true. >> pulled on somewhere. >> pulled on somewhere. >> don't give people ideas. >> don't give people ideas. >> imperialist. >> imperialist. >> don't. she was into slavery,
8:54 am
wasn't she? well, slave trade, slave trade. >> yeah. oh and we saw your corgis there, as well. >> i love those . >> i love those. >> i love those. >> do you have a dog begins. >> do you have a dog begins. >> no, i don't, because we're always away and we live in london. and i don't think it's fair. i think if i lived in the country and had an estate, i would have a i'd have a huge. i'd have an irish wolfhound. would you or a couple. i love big dogs. wow. yeah. i mean that is that is big. >> that is a lot to look at. >> what's your next dog going to be? another rescue. but of any particular a rescue dog. >> yes. it would be a rescue dog, i'm pretty open to. i like anything with a collie cross in. >> it is quite so mental, basically. >> well, you love your dogs too, don't you? both you and ruth go mad for them, yeah. better than than most people. unconditional love. don. >> they do . absolutely. no. they >> they do. absolutely. no. they do. and there are always pleased to see you. they're never going to see you. they're never going to pick a fight with you. >> i feel like a dog never going to nag you. i'm pleased to see both of you today, but we've got to say goodbye to you. yeah.
8:55 am
>> it's been a pleasure. >> it's been a pleasure. >> can i say something quickly? >> can i say something quickly? >> you've got 10s. >> you've got 10s. >> james whale got his mba, and i'm thrilled because he's a wonderful journalist and a lovely man. and congratulations. well, yes. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> very good. thank you. guys. here's ellie glaisyer with your forecast. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boiler is sponsors of weather on gb news. >> good morning. welcome to your latest gb news weather from the met office. a bit of a cloudier start for many of us this morning, particularly compared to over the weekend with outbreaks of rain that will continue to push their way southwards as we head through the rest of this morning. but rain not turning particularly heavy, but a much cloudier and damp day than we saw over the weekend. southern and eastern parts of england holding on to a bit of sunshine through the morning, although turning hazier through the afternoon. but it's northern parts of scotland that will definitely see the best of the sunshine this afternoon, and feeling quite warm here too. we could see highs across scotland of 14, 15, maybe 16 degrees, but
8:56 am
definitely not quite as warm for much of england and wales, with highs of only 12 or 13 degrees through the rest of monday, that rain continues to push its way southwards quite slowly overnight and into the early hours of tuesday morning, but definitely turning drier across much of scotland into northern england, with plenty of clear skies around. and that could lead to quite a chilly night again. generally not quite as cold though. under all of that cloud and rain, temperatures in the mid to high single figures, but perhaps some frost across scotland, northern ireland and into northern parts of england to start on tuesday for the northern half of the uk, though, it is a brighter start to the day on tuesday. plenty of sunshine through as we head through the morning, but that rain continues to slowly push its way towards the southeast so quite a cloudy and grey start to the day here. still remaining quite cloudy through the afternoon in the very far south—east of england, but elsewhere there will be some sunshine, although some scattered showers along some nonh scattered showers along some north sea coastal regions. temperatures a little below average but still reaching around 13 or 14 degrees. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar for sponsors of weather on

who served alongside uk forces. earlier we heard from the former home secretary, suella braverman i >>i -- >> i don't really take a view on this amendment because i believe fundamentally the bill is fatally flawed and with or without this amendment, it's going to fail. so i believe the bill won't work. >> and 9:00 is the time. at 915, we'll be speaking to the royal biographer, angela levin in her usual monday slot about all things royal, including that statue of queen elizabeth the second in rutland . second in rutland. >> it's been a cloudier start for many of us this morning, but there is some sunshine on the way this afternoon. join me later for the full forecast with all the details. >> so our top story this morning, the metropolitan police anti—semitism row is continuing. and it's got you going as well. at home. >> rishi sunak has said the metropolitan police
9:02 am
commissioner, sir mark rowley, has questions to answer over what he called a parallel, appalling treatment of a jewish man during a pro—palestinian protest in london on saturday. >> we spoke to the former home secretary, suella braverman . secretary, suella braverman. this is what she had to say. >> i think there's a crisis here, really. after six months of hundreds of thousands of people regularly taking to the streets to march, what they did in that incident was to protect the right of the protest , others the right of the protest, others to harass, intimidate and behave in an anti—semitic way, and at the same time tell an innocent jewish person that that person needs to give up their rights, that that person needs to stay away . away. >> well, let's get the thoughts of the political correspondent olivia utley this morning . good olivia utley this morning. good morning to you, olivia. pressure mounting on the metropolitan chief in all of this. what is he going to do to try and allay some of these criticisms and
9:03 am
concerns ? concerns? >> well, it's going to be a really interesting meeting later today. sir mark rowley is meeting james cleverly, the home secretary , and chris philp, the secretary, and chris philp, the policing minister at the moment. rishi sunak hasn't said that he has full confidence in the chief commissioner. but the home, the home office, the home secretary is standing by him, but he is going to have to answer as rishi sunak says, a lot of difficult questions. now you ask what he's going to do. well, that is going to be really interesting because we know that over the last few months, there have been tensions building up between the police and the government. the government feels that it has given the police all sorts of powers to use to try and clamp down on the more extreme aspects of these protests, but they feel as though the met police has been sort of dragging their feet a bit when it comes to actually using those powers. will mark rowley start to promise to use some of those powers? will he even start talking about potentially shutting down some of these marches? we're going to have to wait and see. but he is
9:04 am
clinging on to his job by the tips of his fingers at the moment. and if he wants to keep it and if he wants to get that all important backing of the prime minister i think he's going to have to promise james cleverly something pretty big. >> okay, olivia, thanks very much indeed. >> more than 180 politicians have called for victims of the contaminated blood scandal to be paid compensation immediately. >> yeah, it's been described as the worst catastrophe vie in nhs history. patients with bleeding disorders were given tainted medical products in the 1970s and 80s, leaving thousands infected with hiv and hepatitis c, and let's now speak to a victim of all of this , richard warwick. >> richard, good morning. to good see you. you're looking well, richard. are you well? >> i think i'm as well as can be expected under the circumstances with the viruses that i was given as a child. >> yeah, just explain to people, richard, how long ago that was and why you were given these
9:05 am
injections . injections. >> okay, i was born with a condition called haemophilia. >> and as a youngster, i went down to a school in hampshire called treloar's because i was missing so much education at home, while at the school, i contracted hepatitis b, hepatitis c, and hiv . hepatitis c, and hiv. >> the awful. you never consented or had any knowledge of what you were being infected with. and of course you were a child so extra vulnerable at that point in your life. have you ever received any compensation ? and do you hold compensation? and do you hold any realistic hope that that will ever happen in october of 2022, every victim that was infected and their spouses or partners received £100,000 interim compensation and that was because sir brian langstaff ,
9:06 am
was because sir brian langstaff, the chair of the inquiry, saw so many people dying, during the course of the inquiry , he pushed course of the inquiry, he pushed the government ask the government to pay that £100,000 interim payment. but we're hoping for, a good, good coverage . in the final report on coverage. in the final report on treloar's , and we'll see what he treloar's, and we'll see what he has to say about that and whether he recommends any special, compensation for the boys that died here. >> richard, what has it meant to your life over all those years? you know, payment aside, what did you need in life? what would you welcome , in life to, to help you welcome, in life to, to help you welcome, in life to, to help you in the way that you need to be helped ? be helped? >> well, no amount of money, of course, can bring our health back, but for me, it's about, being heard, being being vindicated, and to have that extra security in life going forward, it will help myself and
9:07 am
my wife and my family , i've my wife and my family, i've never had an opportunity to hold down any sort of meaningful employment. i've been infected and affected by by these viruses throughout my childhood and early adult life, so it would mean a great deal to us just to be just so that we are we have been heard and the thoughts and, doubts that we've had over our treatment over the years , can, treatment over the years, can, can be recognised. i think that's the most important thing. people, so many people have died now , getting on for 3000. 680 now, getting on for 3000. 680 people have died since the beginning of the inquiry , since beginning of the inquiry, since the announcement of the inquiry in 2017. and a further 100 have died since this time last year. >> it is absolutely shocking when you see the figures. i think it's 40,000 or so who in total who've been caught up in it. as you say, there is no amount of money that can ever compensate for the way your life has been affected by this. do
9:08 am
you feel anger and do you want justice? as far as i'm aware, no individuals have been held accountable for this. it's not just about money and the impact on your life, but it's about someone being held to account, surely? yeah i think at this stage and well, past anger, that that flew out the door a long time ago as far as accountability is concerned, yes, people should be held to account , as far yes, people should be held to account, as far as yes, people should be held to account , as far as prosecutions account, as far as prosecutions 9°, account, as far as prosecutions go, i don't think that will ever happen, to be honest with you, for a start, not many, not many people are left from around that time that, that either well enough to be, you know, to be sent to prison or whatever. i don't i don't think they that will come into it, but what we do want is we want severe criticism of the government, the health authorities, the haematologists , and doctors that haematologists, and doctors that takes off this medication given and gave it to young children at and gave it to young children at a boarding school that was meant to provide the best medical care
9:09 am
and treat, treat, treat it as without our knowledge and consent and gave us these viruses as ten year olds. >> yeah, horrendous. >> yeah, horrendous. >> such a tragedy. richard and it's unfortunate just listening to you and all that . you've got to you and all that. you've got to you and all that. you've got to say we wish you good luck in what you're trying to do and what you're trying to do and what you're trying to do and what you wish to happen. thanks for your time this morning . for your time this morning. >> thank you, thank you. >> thank you, thank you. >> good luck. a victim of infected blood. richard warwick there. britain's newsroom, 9:30. andrew pierce, carole malone good morning to both of you. >> collecting on that actually , >> collecting on that actually, if you think that this scandal that is. but also think about the scandal of the post office or these institutions that people are just losing faith and trust fast, aren't they? >> absolutely. you know, there's never even been an apology for that. >> you know, all those people who died, 30,000 people died, 300 odd of them are children. not an apology, nothing. >> never mind. and he's given up on any hope of some sort of prosecution. i think that's wrong. >> the compensation bill is being kicked down the road because it's going to be massive. yeah. didn't they,
9:10 am
didn't they vote earlier to didn't they vote earlier to didn't it was voted that they'd get compo in december. >> and now that's been put back that back—pedalling. so meanwhile everybody is talking about mr gideon falter and whether he should have been allowed to cross the road on saturday or not. >> what's your view? well i think it was an outrage, actually. >> completely outrageous to say you're overtly jewish. he's jewish. he's wearing a skull cap, and he's not allowed to go about his daily business. and the abuse carried on while the cop is talking to him, and nothing is said to those coppers were the coppers were talking to him, and the crowds are shouting nazi scum! >> and he's the one who gets threatened with arrest. >> well, we've had an email in from a viewer who said that from a policing point of view, you take away anything that's causing a problem rather than going after this, because then it quickly escalates into a really volatile situation. apparently that's the strategy. thatis apparently that's the strategy. that is the strategy. >> but it's wrong. they've made central london a no go area for jewish people. how can that be right? so we're talking to a former lord chancellor about that, robert buckland. we're also going to talk to you about what's become of our mps, that ghastly menzies bloke who quit yesterday and a lot of them
9:11 am
tories, it has to be said there's 11 tories have had the whip withdrawn since rishi became prime minister. he's not even been prime minister for two years. >> this bloke, menzies, has been a loose cannon for years. i mean, getting dogs drunk, throwing chairs at last night at the proms, messing around with brazilian wrenboys. it's just unbelievable what's become of him. >> it's just crazy who would do it. >> i know, but also one of our favourite stories, the student. this has been nearly kicked out of his university for being overheard in his room on the phone saying veganism is stupid. >> was this an exeter? >> was this an exeter? >> yeah, this is an exeter. and he's also been, he's been he was hauled in front of a disciplinary panel. he's had to sign a behavioural contract and he's been told he steps out of line again. he's been chucked out. >> why can't you say, why can't you. >> yeah that's what. haven't they apologised. and there's a new vice chancellor there and they've said it was five years ago. >> but the guy who, the guy who was who was subject to this robert, he i mean, he suffered depression afterwards. >> i'm not surprised. yeah. ridiculous. i overheard in your own room and also we were all overheard. goodness knows. >> doing what? >> doing what? >> about doing what? any any

9:17 am
the programme this morning by talking to angela levin. the royal biographer. has lots of royal biographer. has lots of royal anecdotes for us this morning. good morning to you, angela. morning. lots coming to us from montecito, i believe. >> yes. >> yes. >> montecito . i have to say the >> montecito. i have to say the jam issue . yeah. jam issue. yeah. >> it's all very y, isn't it? >>— >> it's all very y, isn't it? >> well, it's ridiculous . now, >> well, it's ridiculous. now, there's a picture of her friend of hers who's lying on the grass, cuddling a bowl in which the jam is placed in the middle with lemons round it and a dog lying next to her. so she's holding this as if it's someone else that she really loves. i think what meghan would have organised that because she'd have given her the present. i think this is too far. i mean, it's jam , it's stupid as well. it's jam, it's stupid as well. >> yes. i mean, you know, if any of us were to bring out a product, you know, isabella might associate with jam. no, no, you know, i could see. i could see, you know, i could see how that would. >> sticky jam. yeah, but meghan markle . markle. >> no, no. >> no, no. >> why. well, she was she what was her website called twiggy or
9:18 am
tiggy. >> i've got it down because i can't remember america. oh, tig. >> the tig, the tig. she used to be quite, you know, a lifestyle guru. pre harry. so she's trying to go back to look at what i'm wearing. look what i'm eating. i can get everybody to buy my. >> the chickens should have in my garden. >> you actually think jam crosses her lips, would you? >> of course. way too much sugar in there. >> you say it comes from her garden. i mean, how many strawberries has she got? does it mean people? 50 people. that's only enough for them. it's not going to have thousands of people asking forjam. we of people asking for jam. we won't have it. and there is a thing that she was cross that. well she said jealousy really? that king charles brings in all the food and the jam things to make from somewhere else. he doesn't do it himself or get his staff to do it. of course not. >> duchy of cornwall or whatever it is they get all the material arriving and then they sell it . arriving and then they sell it. >> cornwall? no, not necessarily. whatever. we'll do it . but he gives it all the
9:19 am
it. but he gives it all the money to charity, right . all money to charity, right. all this money is for meghan and it's sold out . he's all this money is for meghan and it's sold out. he's all his people have thought, well, actually, if we are going to get jam, if that's what's trendy, let's get it from the king. not from meghan, not her. yes. yeah >> right. so meanwhile we've got all that going on this week. and then you've got harry who has decided his residence his. i'd explain to me america. yes. >> he had to sign a form and he had to say where his proper home is and he signed it for america. now, this was signed over a year ago, but only came to light a couple of weeks ago. oh ago, but only came to light a couple of weeks ago. on now, what does that mean? well, what that means is how cunning it was. and why on earth was he struggling to get pretentious protection for four of them? the two kids and meghan? if he really was hardly going to be here, i think it's so that if theyif here, i think it's so that if they if he got what he wanted, they if he got what he wanted, they could travel the world without trying to get the proper
9:20 am
protection that he wants because it's the best protection here. he can't have it because he's not a working royal and the people who are underneath are very good. but you can't, they can't carry guns. and harry's furious about this. i think it's very sneaky. i think it's very unpleasant to do that to his family. he's done enough for them, and it's quite a shock to know that he's now left all his connection with the uk without saying anything about it . saying anything about it. >> what about prince louis? i believe we've got a milestone coming up. >> prince louis will be six tomorrow. well, that usually means we get a photograph or get a photograph and i hope, hope, hope that his mummy is there with him. you know, even if she's sitting there or looking at him, even if you get a side view, you don't want to start criticising a statement. it would be it would be wonderful. it's an opportunity for her to be with him and to show him off because he's a sweetheart. isn't
9:21 am
he really mischievous, sweetheart , and she'll be there sweetheart, and she'll be there as well. and i think we will all feel. hooray! you know, now the king has outlined that he's going to step up his business commitments. >> if you can call royal ascot business, he's royal ascot is part of them. trooping of the colour. >> yeah, well, yeah. trooping the colour. three days before then. he wants to do that, but it's really to show how much his gratitude is to the queen, because she'll have lots of her, horses running and he wants to be there to actually do that , be there to actually do that, isn't it? >> camilla looks after that stable now, doesn't she? >> yes, she's very keen. she loves it. so i think she's. she'll certainly be there as long as he is. but i just hope that he's not pushing himself too far, too quickly because there's loads of people there. and you hear all these stories of people coming back with all sorts of germs. i just hope that he doesn't push himself, but i think they feel that they need to say when he's sort of coming
9:22 am
back, or they hope he's coming back, or they hope he's coming back so people don't get too anxious again. that's why he's in a car, going back and forth to london, where he could take a helicopter so he can wave at lots of people so they know he's still there. >> yeah, i saw him driving in a few weeks ago. i was driving on the m4 out of london, and i saw him whizzing in for presumably one of his his cancer appointments and he looked very red in the face, i have to say, red in the face, i have to say, red in the face, i have to say, red in the face, but, you know, good to see that he was. >> yeah. so the visibility was there. the fact that you could see into this, well, it was gridlock really. >> and he was just very slowly moving through with the car. but he was in a big car. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> he was in the full, you know, rolls—royce type thing. yeah. with the flag and everything. >> yes. and that's deliberate to be seen. >> yes. i was told that so that people do see him, that. >> no, he's still, you know, getting going and doing things. >> angela talking about doing things yesterday in rutland and we featured on the program today, there was an unveiling of a statue of queen elizabeth ii. yes my goodness me, as you can
9:23 am

9:24 am
>> because as you say so often, you think, who is that? >> is that ronaldo? george isn't enough. >> if you see, say, princess victoria or queen victoria, i think that's what she looked like because i've seen all the statues. but perhaps that wasn't a true likeness either. >> that's very true, but i think it's lovely that they have got a nice big one with a big dress and a smile. yes. and the things that she cared about most really? the corgis. yeah. it's really, really nice. >> people seem to be loving it. angela levin, thank you very much indeed for that royal insight. thank you very much indeed, with the time at 9:24, we will say goodbye to you. >> yes . >> yes. >> yes. >> have a fabulous day. up next, you have andrew pierce and carole malone. she's in for bev for the next few days. we hope you have a lovely day. here's your weather forecast though, with ellie glaisyer. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar . sponsors of weather on . solar. sponsors of weather on. gb news. >> good morning. welcome to your
