home, for israel to be secure, for the suffering to stop . it's for the suffering to stop. it's time for this war to end . for time for this war to end. for the day after . to time for this war to end. for the day after. to begin . the day after. to begin. >> former prime minister boris johnson has come out in support of donald trump, saying a second presidency is more likely , not presidency is more likely, not less, following his hush money trial, donald trump says he will appeal his conviction of falsifying business records, lashing out at what he calls a scam verdict. the former us president claims there was no hush money. it was a normal non—disclosure agreement, properly categorised as a legal expense. properly categorised as a legal expense . the prime minister has expense. the prime minister has unveiled the conservative party campaign bus in the north yorkshire just hours after the labour party did the same, featuring the slogan clear plan, bold action and secure future , bold action and secure future, rishi sunak made a speech in front of the coach, telling a crowd his party can be trusted to take decisive action. he also criticised sir keir starmer over

the diane abbott row after the labour leader made a u—turn, saying she could stand for his party to see what's happened over this diane abbott situation. >> right. and it confirms what we know about him is that he doesn't stick by anything he says, just constantly changes his mind. and it's clear that angela rayner is in charge of the labour party and not him at the labour party and not him at the end of the day. and if he's given in to her and the left on that, imagine what he'll give in to when it comes to higher taxes , the unions demands, or weakening our defence and security. now these uncertain times call for bold action, a clear plan to deliver a secure future. that's what we're about . future. that's what we're about. >> meanwhile, labour is promoting its power up agenda. leader sir keir starmer, deputy leader angela rayner and shadow chancellor rachel reeves unveiled their battle bus, which will travel 5000 miles across the country. they're describing the country. they're describing the conservatives levelling up pledge as a phoney gimmick, saying they have data showing which areas will be hit if the tories get back into government.

their figures suggest that in the north—east of england , the north—east of england, people will be £5,400 worse off and in the south—west families will be £4,300 poorer won't change the powers with you because the vote is with you. >> you have to for vote change. we have changed this labour party and put it back in the service of working people. what we're asking now, humbly asking, is the opportunity to change our country and put it back in the service of working people, and that requires both setting out our ambition to change the country, but also the first steps, the down payment, if you like, stabilising the economy and making sure we can deal with our waiting list, getting back people back into work, setting up great british energy to keep bills down. they are the first steps to the change this country desperately needs. >> the uk's ambassador to mexico has reportedly been sacked after he pointed a gun at an embassy staff member. a video posted on

>> thank you very much, sophia. isn't that king charles story? absolutely lovely. >> really, really emotional. >> really, really emotional. >> now let's get stuck into today's story, shall we, a tory wipe—out could be on the horizon with a devastating new poll showing the conservatives could be reduced to just 72 seats, but with tactical voting considered, that could drop to 66. labour is predicted to win by huge landslide, with a possible 302 seat majority . the polling seat majority. the polling suggests the conservatives could return only around seven more mps in the liberal democrat. ouch here are the 18 conservative cabinet ministers who could lose their jobs oliver dowden, the deputy pm james cleverly, the home secretary. grant shapps, defence penny mordaunt, kemi badenoch, claire coutinho , mel stride, gillian coutinho, mel stride, gillian keegan, education mark harper, david davis, victoria prentice , david davis, victoria prentice, esther mcvey, andrew mitchell,

johnny mercer wow they could all go to labour. that's a lot of big beasts there. oh, and alex chalk and michael tomlinson could both lose to the lib dems as well as alister. jack would lose to the snp and simon hart to play comrie . another big name to play comrie. another big name would be sirjacob rees—mogg . would be sirjacob rees—mogg. joining me now. wow actually. so there's a lot of names there, isn't there really big names? join me now to analyse what the hell is going on here is senior political commentator nigel nelson. nigel, thank you so much for joining me on a saturday forjoining me on a saturday afternoon, i wouldn't want to be rishi sunak waking up today, would you, no, i wouldn't, and this poll is particularly devastating for him because it's a so—called mrp poll , which, a so—called mrp poll, which, unlike other polls, includes undecideds . it it predicts how undecideds. it it predicts how the undecideds will vote. so it's thought to be more accurate

than other polls . and normally than other polls. and normally the mrp polls give the tories a slightly better result. so rishi sunak won't like the like the result he's looking at looking at today. >> it's it is, it is a shock because i mean it's like if labour have that size majority i mean we know polls are polls, nigel. we know they have been proved wrong in in the past. and the conservatives today are taking that attitude aren't they. it is a poll. we will wait and see. but i mean it's a majority of that size for labour i don't think we've seen before have we know this would be a be a historic defeat for the tories if they were only to come back with 66 mps, and yes, you're right there. i think that there is a certain concern what you need, need in a vibrant democracy is a decent opposition, what you need is, is to be able to scrutinise legislation that's being put through. and obviously, if the tories are down to that kind of

level, they can't do that job. so yes, there is a certain amount of concern about this that, while quite clearly polls are showing that people want a labour majority , do they really labour majority, do they really want a such a stonking one that we end up almost like a one party state? do you think it could actually almost backfire on labour? >> this result, nigel, because it's like it's almost like people that are undecided will be thinking, well, i'm not sure about voting labour because i don't want them having that much of a say. there is no democracy, no , i mean, this is the problem no, i mean, this is the problem that people start voting tactically because they're a bit worried about about a majority that size , this is actually that size, this is actually quite difficult under the first past the post system that while you can vote tactically in individual constituencies . so individual constituencies. so a labour voter, for instance, may vote lib dem to keep a tory out if that's the best way of doing it, or lib dem might vote tory to keep a to keep labour out, but you can't really do this nationally, which is why it's so

difficult, so yes , there is difficult, so yes, there is a bit of a problem here. and yes, labour might be worrying. perhaps this lead is a bit too far, far ahead at the moment. >> start doing a few things wrong . maybe nigel nelson it is, wrong. maybe nigel nelson it is, i think, an astonishing time in politics. thank you very much for joining us and making it forjoining us and making it slightly clearer right now. joining me now is political commentator and playwright, emma burnell and editor at large at the mail on sunday, charlotte griffith. ladies, thank you for joining me today. both looking very resplendent in lovely floral outfits. well, i'm just really boring. red, this is not a political statement, by the way . it's just like red. okay, way. it's just like red. okay, before anyone asks, now this poll, i mean, it's an exclusive tv poll to gb news, what do we make of it, emma? i mean, it is like they could the tories could end up with 66 seats. >> it's quite astonishing. >> it's quite astonishing. >> when i, i was actually doing some work on a completely separate project that meant i had to go into the electoral

calculus. >> who did the polling for gb news and the mail, last night, and the website had crashed , i and the website had crashed, i can imagine. >> why is that happened? you know, i'd been watching , the know, i'd been watching, the final of race around the world with my parents. >> i had no idea what was going on.and >> i had no idea what was going on. and then i went on to twitter and i was like, oh, that. >> so yeah, this is it's not just i mean, there was a metaphor used in the 1907 election that this was like a meteor crashing to the earth and wiping out all life and that must be what it feels like for the tories at the moment. this is not a 97 result. it's like a double 97 result. and that would be quite extraordinary. now, given that it's really hard not to take it with a certain pinch of salt. there's a lot of the election campaign left to go. i think it would be really hard to claw back a win from the tories from here, but i suspect that what they're going to try and do is absolutely minimise their loss. >> it's i mean, charlotte, it is this is this is a pretty much unheard of, isn't it? i mean, this is more than people going.

right. okay. the conservatives have been in 14 years. we're just going to vote to get them out there. there has to be more going on here because this is such a huge pushback. yeah i think people are angry. >> this is a sign that people are angry and they want to punish the conservatives. >> and i also think that they're actually the message of message of change is getting through, which is unsurprising given that you said the change worked. i know i was going to say, given that keir stares the word change 500 times a day, but i think it is getting through. >> i think people are desperate to just clear the decks and start again, and i actually think some of the conservatives think, god, it'd be quite good actually, to start again, get some new faces in, you know, obviously some major players are going to get cleared out here. >> yes, and, and get some new fresh blood in and yeah, i think they're being punished actually they're being punished actually the conservatives emma i mean sort of like the reformer coming third according to this poll reformer coming third on 11.2 and the lib dems are only on 9.5. >> now, that's not saying a lot about the lib dems campaign at the moment, is it? >> but the lib dems are predicted to win a lot more seats than reform, who i don't

believe are predicted . no, not one. >> they're not predicted to get a seat. >> lib dems are not running a national campaign. they may be doing national broadcast. national campaign. they may be doing national broadcast . you doing national broadcast. you may have seen ed davey falling off various things , to be fair, off various things, to be fair, he's very good at falling off things , but what they're doing things, but what they're doing is a very, very well targeted campaign to take out specific conservative seats. there's almost no seats where labour and the lib dems are facing each other, so they can target those resources really, really clearly onto those tories who are weakened. and that's why they are what will be fascinating reform already, to be fair, have this as a policy. what will be interesting is how many tories suddenly get converted to the to the cause of electoral reform after the election. >> well, it does make you wonder, doesn't it? do you think, though, charlotte, that labour will be, as we were discussing with nigel, sort of people will be thinking, well, i'm not sure there's not really a democracy if you've got one party with that size of majority, but do you also think

labour might be thinking, well, they're not really voting for our policies. they're voting against conservatives, as you say, because there's a lot of anger out there. but it's not really a positive message about laboun really a positive message about labour. it'sjust really a positive message about labour. it's just because they hate the tories so much. >> i don't think the i don't think the labour party will mind, you know, they'll just they'll just take the majority. >> but i say on your previous point, i think it's true because ihave point, i think it's true because i have a i have at least one friend who's who was planning to vote for labour because she's so despot , but to see decisive change. >> and those people might think, oh, actually, we don't want that much decisive change because we don't want a one party state. but i do know people that that just thought, you know, we can't have a hung parliament. there was talk of a hung parliament at one point. i don't even seems completely out the window, but people are so keen for these policies, if they find some decent policies to just get them through and for there to be less infighting and, you know, backbench sort of politics, people are so bored of that now. >> they just want decisive change. >> i think you're talking of decisive change and infighting and backbiting. we know the conservatives are divided in so many areas, but this week we've seen a bit more division within labour over the whole diane abbott saga, haven't we?

>> diane abbott and a few others , yeah. it's not been the most edifying week for the labour party . as you know, i'm a labour party. as you know, i'm a labour member and supporter, but i do always try to say when i feel that they've got something wrong and whoever has briefed the times about diane abbott being barred after what had clearly been a long, complicated negotiation between her and lotto and the nec about how a real managed and dignified potential retirement absolutely screwed up. and i'm not going to say anything else because it would be. i try to be honest in my analysis of my party, what was so depressing about that whole unedifying week was it showed that actually there were quite a lot of white sort of well—to—do boys club boys running the labour party behind the scenes, which now suddenly doesn't feel like that much of a change because, you know, we know that that's how the conservatives have been running and actually that's what happened, sort of a sort of little club decided to brief the times and be all chummy. >> and it's a chumocracy all over again. >> yeah, there is a bit of that

going on, isn't there? unfortunately running out of time on that one, emma and charlotte, thank you very much for joining me this afternoon. now for all the best analysis and opinion on that story and much more, go to our website, gbnews.com. now we do move on to, obviously the iconic, iwm duxford summer air show returns to the skies today. this year it's special really show because it's special really show because it's d—day themed. it's d—day 80. it commemorates the 80th anniversary of that famous normandy landings. joining me now, i'm very happy to say is gb news reporter, will hollis live from duxford? will love to see you, can you tell us a bit more about what's going on there? it sounds wonderful . sounds wonderful. >> yes. well, it's almost as if i've been transported back to the 1940s. it's the same sorts of smells and the same sorts of sounds. and 38,000 people are coming here over the weekend for the d—day 80 air show here at the d—day 80 air show here at the imperial war museum in duxford. but one person who gets

to live this every single day is adam kendall from the museum. just describe for me what's this going to mean? to mean to the people visiting duxford today? >> well, we're just really excited. we've got our summer air show, and this year we're commemorating the 80th anniversary of d—day. so as i'm sure a lot of your viewers are aware, d—day is a really synonymous with the second world war. and what we've tried to do here is just trying to replicate a little bit of some of what went on during d—day. so we've got a really exciting range of events. obviously the flying programme, lots of stuff going on on the ground as well. we're hoping people are going to have a really great weekend here. >> what's going to stand out for people? what are people coming for here? number one thing on their list that they're hoping to see? i'd say i think the number one thing is going to be the dakotas that we've got. >> we're hoping to have a mass parachute drop this afternoon. so exactly as it would have been in 1940. so round canopies throwing themselves out of vintage aircraft, it's going to look absolutely spectacular as well as that. we've got the red arrows tomorrow. so they're always a fantastic sight to behold. and we've got the normal stuff you'd expect from us at duxford. so we've got a b—25, we've got b—17 and we've got spitfires. it wouldn't be a

duxford air show without spitfires. >> just like the period before d—day. the wind and the weather is playing a little bit of a trickiness in it, and they've got a little bit of wind and that might affect the parachutes. >> it might do. we're trying to authentically recreate, as you say, d—day by having the weather conditions as well . so yeah, the conditions as well. so yeah, the weather is something we're constantly monitoring . constantly monitoring. obviously, safety is at the foremost of our minds when it comes to this. so parachutes will only be able to jump if they were in wind limits. we're hoping that the wind is going to drop a bit for what's going to be a spectacular, even if it doesn't happen, it will still be a fantastic flying display. >> this afternoon. when people think of d—day, the immediate image is pretty much of people storming the beaches coming off of those landing craft. but there were a lot of people that did different things, including those airborne operations going behind enemy lines, and that's what we're going to hopefully see a little bit of a parachute show today. >> absolutely. so one of the key components of d—day was both the british and the americans dropping, as you say, behind enemy lines, to take key parts of the invasion front. so we're trying to recreate that by not just the parachutists, but there'll be period dress. they

will look like they would have looked during the second world war as well as that on the ground. we've got various people who are re—enacting, and you can go and have a chat with them today, chat to them about what it would have been like to be a parachute, because it's not just throwing yourself out of the aircraft. there's months, there's years of training that goes into that as well. so it's not just the d—day itself, it's the whole package of training that's built around that two and a whole package of things for people to see today. >> adam, thank you for talking to us today on gb news. there is absolutely loads to see and we're here all afternoon and hopefully we'll see some aircraft flying in the background. >> brilliant. that's will hollis there live for us at duxford for there live for us at duxford for the d—day special. thank you very much. will now okay. we move on. it's officially summer i know it might not feel like it all the time, but we have got ta dai a brand new summer giveaway for you i it's £15,000 in cash to for you! it's £15,000 in cash to make this summer a spectator one for you. a brand new iphone, airpods and £500 to spend at the uk attraction of your choice. so theme parks, stately homes or fancy spa day out could all be

for. >> this is gb news and we are britain's election channel. >> this vote may seem to be about the politicians and the media, but it's actually about you. we won't forget that. >> join us up and down the country as we follow every moment together. >> more than ever, it's important to hear all sides as you make your decision in the run up to polling day. >> this is gb news, the people's

channel >> this is gb news, the people's channel, britain's election . channel. >> welcome back to gb news saturday with me dawn neesom on your telly, online and on digital radio. hope you're having a wonderful weekend out there. now, donald trump was found guilty this week. you might have noticed on every single front page of the british papers found guilty this week of falsifying records to cover up a sex scandal in a historic turnaround from commander in chief to convicted criminal, no. former or serving us president has ever been convicted of a crime before . for trump, who crime before. for trump, who pleaded not guilty and denied all 34 counts against him, rejected the verdict and said the people would ultimately decide in november's election. in a speech at trump tower , he in a speech at trump tower, he said there was no hush money. it was a normal non—disclosure agreement, properly categorised as a legal expense . let's have as a legal expense. let's have a listen to what he said.

>> i'm doing something for this country and i'm doing something for our constitution. it's very important, far beyond me . and important, far beyond me. and this can't be allowed to happen to other presidents. it should never be allowed to happen in the future . but this is far the future. but this is far beyond me. this is bigger than trump. this is bigger than me. this is bigger than my presidency . presidency. >> right. he's got away with words, hasn't he? joining me now is a spokeswoman for republicans overseas, jennifer ewing. jennhen overseas, jennifer ewing. jennifer, thank you very much for joining me. it's jennifer, thank you very much for joining me . it's been quite forjoining me. it's been quite a week for you hasn't it. it has to be said. >> it has. >> it has. >> what do you make of it initially vie the guilty verdict and then trump's follow up speech. and then trump's follow up speech . sure, sure. speech. sure, sure. >> so, i was disappointed at the verdict for sure. and then i was shocked at how quickly the jury came back with their verdict, it specially when you consider how complicated and unprecedented scented the instructions they were given by the judge on wednesday afternoon. i mean, he

basically said they didn't have to come to a unanimous decision on the felony that they were trying to tie to the misdemeanour, which had been outdated. but with regards to what that sound bite you just played, he's right. i think what people realised on thursday night, this is no longer about trump , this is about our justice trump, this is about our justice system. and he's also right that we do not go after former presidents or indeed, which he is a political opponent who's aheadin is a political opponent who's ahead in the seven swing states. so it looks like if the election were today, he would win. and the reason we don't do this, and the reason we don't do this, and the reason we haven't done it for almost 250 years, is because a political opponent or a former president could never get an impartial trial. president could never get an impartial trial . people's views impartial trial. people's views are so strong. so we've the democrats , by doing this, have democrats, by doing this, have really opened up the floodgates of lawfare, which is just going to go back and forth . and that to go back and forth. and that is a terrible, terrible, slippery slope for our country to be on.

>> did trump was saying, you know, this is not about me. this is about our legal system and the fact that this shouldn't happen to any other president. do you think it would ever happen to any other president, or as trump always implies, in everything he says, it's a witch hunt because it's donald trump. >> i agree with what he's saying. i mean, and the reason we know that is because these four big indictments, the manhattan case being one of them, did not appear to until he decided he was running for election in 2024. so they're not going after him as a former president. they're going after him as joe biden's , top him as joe biden's, top political opponent who's who's winning , and with regards to winning, and with regards to other presidents, i mean, the current president has absolutely committed crimes. the former president obama probably has. bush probably has. so, you know, a lot of people have and that is why we don't go after them. obviously not. they're not special in that way. >> yeah. they're not here to defend themselves. totally,

totally. i mean, the thing is, jennhen totally. i mean, the thing is, jennifer, it doesn't appear to have done donald trump any harm. i mean, his campaign received £39 million. million dollars in donations. ten hours after the actual verdict . actual verdict. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> and, 24 hours, it's gone up to 50 million. and the big deal about that is these are made up of over, i believe, 500,000 small donors. so small donors are all you need. and 30% of those were new donors. so people who had not supported him in the past. and so whether you donate $5 or $5000, we all get the same vote as americans. so again, and these are not just trump supporters. you will look in the news on twitter. there's a lot of democrats, a lot of independents that said, you know what? i can't stand the man. i never voted for him before. i won't vote for him again. but i want my chance to decide on november 5th, and we cannot have a justice system that is telling the american voters who they can have for president.

>> it is very intriguing. i mean, the independents, the people that aren't decided, i mean, sort of like, you know, it wasn't sort of like, you know, oh my god, he's a convicted criminal. we can't possibly have him as president. they are still actually fairly more on side than off side with him. exactly. >> because and again, just as he said, it's not about him, it's about the justice system. and if you are going to break that , you you are going to break that, you know, almost 250 years of precedent where we don't go after former presidents or political opponents , do you political opponents, do you really think an outdated bookkeeper error for $130,000 is the hill you want to die on? i mean, we're not talking about embezzlement. we're not talking about war crimes or or worse , about war crimes or or worse, we're talking about a bookkeeping error, a nondisclosure agreement, which is not illegal. people do these things all of the time. >> do you think that if biden wasn't the alternate , if people wasn't the alternate, if people would be less supportive of trump? >> yeah , that's a that's a great >> yeah, that's a that's a great question. and i'm sure you know , question. and i'm sure you know, three quarters of our country does not want to see this

rematch of trump versus biden. so but we are where we are. so you know, we've got to work with what we have. i believe the polls , and i haven't seen them polls, and i haven't seen them for a while, was a generic democrat could have beat trump. so now does that what i also think is he wouldn't be persecuted in this way by the criminal justice system if he wasn't a threat. if they had a great candidate, which i'd love. the democrats have a great candidate because he got 50% chance of winning. they had a great candidate and trump was not a threat. i don't believe they'd be going after him. you know, alvin bragg, this district attorney in new york downgraded 60% of the actual felonies murders, rapes , you know, very murders, rapes, you know, very violent crimes. and yet he's upgrading an outdated bookkeeping error from 2016, trying to make it a felony. i mean, that's if i was in new york, i'd be furious. i would be absolutely furious on my tax dollars are being spent and the police time and, you know, criminal justice time . so, look,

criminal justice time. so, look, it's going to work one of two ways for people who have been paying ways for people who have been paying attention. you know, news junkies, dare i say, like you and me, who are watching the nuances of this, i think it's going to work in trump's favour. right? they martyrised him. it'll work in his favour. if you're the average person that's just doing your job and not just doing yourjob and not really paying attention to the details of this case, most people did not. it wasn't a televised trial. most people didn't pay attention to it. you might see the name donald trump convicted felon, which you will see all over the news. now. they can use convicted felon and go, yeah, that's not my guy . and yeah, that's not my guy. and he's got a 6.6. bump since the verdict . verdict. >> six point if you were a betting woman just quickly running out of time, would you have trump as your next president? would you say he's going to do it? >> if we have a free and fair election, president trump will become the next president in 2024. >> absolutely strong words. jennifer ewing , spokesman for jennifer ewing, spokesman for republicans overseas, thank you very much for joining republicans overseas, thank you very much forjoining me republicans overseas, thank you very much for joining me today. indeed. right, okay. american politics, british politics all a bit mad, isn't it? i'm dawn neesom and this is gb news

the main assault. the soldiers role was to push forward into enemy territory. >> i didn't land on d—day. i landed shortly after in june . i landed shortly after in june. i was in the infantry, so i would arrive from the landed up the front while on night patrol on july seventh, his unit was attacked. my brother was a corporal in the same platoon and he was out with me . he got back he was out with me. he got back 16 of the out of 30, got back, five of us got captured and nine got killed. >> the germans put him to work in a pow. camp in zabrze, poland . with soviets advancing, poland. with soviets advancing, the prisoners were forced to march for a thousand miles. >> at one point along there, my leg was chopped. i laid down in the snow. if it hadn't been for two guys who fell back in the column and picked me up, i'd have just gone to sleep and frozen to death. we had a rest day every 5 or 6 days until we

heard gunfire coming from the west. we knew it had to be the brits or the americans turned out to be the americans . out to be the americans. >> and so we refused about anymore . anymore. >> so the german officer in charge said, alright, have a rest day . we marched tomorrow. rest day. we marched tomorrow. yeah, we're marched over. but that night the guns were much nearer because they were advancing . and he accepted that advancing. and he accepted that the war was over and two american tanks turned up on the 22nd of april. on the afternoon , 22nd of april. on the afternoon, and we were liberated. >> ken feels pride for the role he played in normandy, and thanks god for keeping him alive. >> people say, why did you volunteer for the services ? it volunteer for the services? it was a completely different atmosphere then you did your bit. >> will hollis gb news. >> will hollis gb news. >> that's remarkable story, isn't it? that's our will. hollis talking to ken. hey there . one of the many people that sacrificed so much on d—day. and you can't imagine what it was

were ex—players. gareth bale was there, for example rudimental play. we got lenny kravitz tonight at wembley. so the organisers uefa in conjunction with the local football association in this case the fa, are trying to make it into like are trying to make it into like a super bowl type of event. maybe it goes over a weekend. it's not just a day. gone are the days dawn and you remember them well. where you sup up your pint at 5 to 3 and pass through the turnstiles waiting for the action. it's got to be an all day event and when it's as big as this, we're talking about weekend events. now >> yeah, i'm not sure i quite like the whole glitz of it. and taylor swift performing well. i just like piint and the football to be honest. >> the fa cup final last last weekend, it was going that way. certainly you could, you could certainly feel it. but i suppose if you're paying £145 a ticket and you're bringing your family and you're bringing your family and you're bringing your family and you say you're playing that 3 or 4 times over, you've got to provide something that lasts from, say, half 11, 12:00 till probably six, seven in the evening. >> that's at real madrid. real madrid even are actually the favourites tonight, without doubt. >> yeah. you can get 4 to 1 on dortmund right now. right. and that's on a two horse race. that's pretty. that's pretty long odds actually for a final. but it's reflective of the fact

that real madrid won their league. la liga by ten points off barcelona, borussia dortmund, bayer leverkusen as we know won the league. yeah. and dortmund finished fifth. so some way off the top they didn't even finish above their bitter rivals. bayern munich and bayern munich were said to have a bad season, so they've done really well to get to a champions league final. it's going to be about, from our point of view, from a british perspective or engush from a british perspective or english perspective. even sancho against bellingham. yeah, jadon sancho has made man united eat their words. he was bombed out of their of old trafford in january. they said he wasn't turning up on time. suddenly he goes to a new club or his old club. actually, he's gone on loan there. he's still a man united player. he could be a champions league winner tonight. he's rediscovered. he discovered his form, jude bellingham on the other hand he's going back to his old club as well. borussia dortmund. he was there last season. he goes to real madrid. he pulls up trees there this season. he's 20 years old as we said off off air. he's going to start for england in the summer in the euros provided. i think he's played in the right position. but so from a british angle, there's that that juxtaposition there. maybe both of them might prove decisive, but i would take real madrid to win certainly tonight. >> and is it going to be a big scoring game or is it going to

be cagey? >> i think it'll be cagey if you look at if you look at dortmund in the semi—final, both games one nil, but their defence is very, very good. that might see them through. i've spoken to loads of their supporters as well. they're quite resplendent in the in the loomis yellow i just mentioned, my highlighter is i'm not supporting anyone by the way, for there as well, which is black. so that's kind of you've got you've got the real completely neutral with the bayern munich coloured jacket on. but no, you can see them, you can see them all on the, on the tube and everything. i was having a chat with them and they're grateful to be there. they've kind of they're one of those clubs that they, they, they garner a lot of good feeling around the world because they behave themselves wherever they behave themselves wherever they go, and they bring a lot of good cheer. they've gone, a lot of them saying they've gone to westminster for a few drinks beforehand, and they're going to make their way to wembley later on. i was trying to learn the word good luck in german. i think it's, i'm not sure that that could be a swear, as far as i'm not aware. bonne chance is french. i know that i got that one. one. >> one. >> yeah, i can know that. i got that one. yeah. so? >> so they're in great, great spirits. but they did. they have bitter memories of wembley last time. the last time the champions league final was here was in 2013. that was when they

lost their bitter rivals bayern munich. with those two arjen robben goals. and then they hadnt robben goals. and then they hadn't won it since their last win was 1997. wow. >> and are there fan parks around the country to go and watch? >> not around the country. i mean, i know, but dortmund stayed up in the midlands apparently. right. okay. yeah, they did. they were they were spotted on the on the sorry nonh spotted on the on the sorry north west actually because they were spotted on the m6 yesterday heading heading south. i don't know about fans part fan parts. they will be they will be at the stadium. yeah but an omen for them. it was real madrid they beatin them. it was real madrid they beat in 1997 when they last won the champions league. >> well aiden, thank you very much. let's hope the best team wins as we can say. right i'm dawn neesom this is gb news saturday and there's lots more coming up on today's show. but first let's see what the weather's doing for football and anything else you're doing. here's marco. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> hello. here's your latest weather update from the met office for gb news. over the next 24 hours or so, we hold on to generally fine weather across the uk. further warm sunshine to come, although we will start to see some rain into the far north—west through sunday. high pressure is generally in control

at the moment, sitting out towards the west of the uk, still feeding in a bit of a cool northerly breeze in places, but with the sunshine it's certainly been quite a warm afternoon and as we head into the evening, much of the cloud across england and wales will tend to melt away, so we'll see a lot of dry and fairly clear weather across much of the uk as we head into the overnight period. a few mist and fog patches forming certainly across england and wales into the early hours, but nofice wales into the early hours, but notice by the end of the night also some outbreaks of rain just approaching the far north—west of the uk, townsville city temperatures holding up quite well but in the rural spots could even see a touch of frost by sunday morning . temperatures by sunday morning. temperatures here into low single figures. so we start sunday. then on a pretty clear note across much of england and wales, lots of sunshine. just 1 or 2 mist patches still lingering from the overnight period . notice though, overnight period. notice though, some low cloud across the far south—east, but that will gradually burn away as we go through the morning. lots of sunshine across the north of england. pretty much wall to wall sunshine to start the day here. but notice out towards the north—west there is that rain to contend with. certainly across the west of scotland, just edging into the far west of northern ireland too. so eastern parts of scotland shouldn't fare too badly to start the day on sunday as we go through the rest

of the day on sunday, those outbreaks of rain in the far north—west will gradually start to push in a little bit further across parts of northern and western scotland into parts of northern ireland too. so a fairly damp day unfolding here. but elsewhere across the uk it's generally set fair high pressure. as i say, generally in control. so lots of sunshine around in places , pretty much around in places, pretty much unbroken sunshine going into the afternoon. and with that sunshine and fairly gentle winds feeling pretty warm slightly down towards the south and southeast, up to 23 or 24 celsius. those outbreaks of rain in the far north—west will gradually push their way south eastwards into other parts of scotland and northern ireland through the evening on sunday, whereas towards the south and southeast it's staying fine. nofice southeast it's staying fine. notice that as we head into the coming week, things will start to turn cooler and more unsettled, particularly across the north of the uk, with some rain at times. >> looks like things are heating up . boxt boilers sponsors of up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> thank you marco and he did say unbroken sunshine, didn't he? i'm sure he did , but lots he? i'm sure he did, but lots more coming up on today's show,

colour of the reform party . have colour of the reform party. have you not seen that? it's ludicrous. >> now look, frankly , like you, >> now look, frankly, like you, you said you wouldn't want to be rishi sunak. >> i'd rather play leapfrog with a unicorn than be rishi sunak. today i've got to tell you that. but but you know it's not over. we're still labour party is still going to have to fight for every single vote. and don't forget, the labour party has a magnificent record in snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. we know how to lose elections. we've done it so many times. >> you have had a lot of practice as we say. claire, what do you make of this? i mean, it is pretty damning. look it's a poll, okay? we all know polls can be not necessarily the most accurate thing, but this one is pretty damning. the thing that's really come from me, from this, is the fact that it's so scientific now, parties rely so much on the data from these pollsters that get a lot of to money come up with the statistics, and they can be massaged, they can be whatever. but the key thing is, are the floating voters in this election and the vote and the young, because seven out of ten people in the country that were polled in the country that were polled

in this poll are not happy with the inherently high taxes that we've ever had in the past 70 years. and although people will want to vote conservative because they want immigration to because they want immigration to be halted , they want basic be halted, they want basic policies that they should have been doing to work. but then what's the alternative? a lot of people don't like keir, but will vote labour and i always used to say to people, when you're voting and everyone has to vote, register to vote and get voting is, you know, you can vote at a local level. your local mp might be the best person for the job for your local area. don't always for vote the person that's going to be in number 10. i think that's a i think that's a really good point, which is what the lib dems aim to do, isn't it? the lib dems operate on on a local basis. vote for us. we are good for this area, which what we used to call pavement politics rather than the national area. >> yeah, but i can remember canvassing somebody when i was an mp candidate and this person said to me, he said, i don't for

vote the party, i vote for the person. >> and i said, oh, thank you very much. >> so i won't be voting for you. >> so i won't be voting for you. >> and, you know, and we've been married for 30 years. you know, i've company. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> no, i mean , it is it is >> no, i mean, it is it is absolutely quite extraordinary whether this is, are we facing an extinction event like the end of the dinosaurs? >> but stephen, did you have polls like they have now when you were running for. >> no, nothing like that. yeah. >> no, nothing like that. yeah. >> look, the thing about this is electoral calculus. >> it takes away from it. >> it takes away from it. >> well, it makes you wonder whether it's worth getting out of bed, doesn't it? but, i mean, fortunately, you know, and i know that the majority of people don't make up their minds until the last 3 or 4 weeks of the election. but the extraordinary thing about this is electoral calculus. if you look at their website, it actually goes down ward by ward. it's not just constituency by constituency. they really drilled that. and i think that there's a sample of what, think that there's a sample of what, 10,000 think that there's a sample of what, 10,000 people for this? >> yes, it was. and that's a massive one. >> but when you look at some of those seats, you know, tunbridge wells going labour i mean marvellous, bring it on. but it just seems slightly unlikely . just seems slightly unlikely. >> do you think there's an element of shy tories here, even with pollsters, anonymous pollsters. do you think people don't want to admit that they're

a tory? i mean, it's like, you know, someone stopped you and said, who are you voting for? and it's like, well, you know, i'm going to vote conservative. yeah but do you think people are going, well, i'm not sure yet. i don't know, i might vote labour rather than admit what they're actually going to do. i was out last night with quite a nice group of young people, and they were saying, we just don't know which way you're going to vote. and that's quite helpful . i and that's quite helpful. i think that i just because i am politically homeless, i just don't know what way i'm going to vote, you know , i think people vote, you know, i think people really have to think very carefully, especially in scotland. think so carefully and do not put across by the snp box. that's my only bit of bit of advice. bit of advice? yeah, exactly. i mean, do you think that there will be people literally walking into their, their local centre , sticking their local centre, sticking their local centre, sticking their cross on something and deciding on that day , deciding deciding on that day, deciding at the moment all the evidence is that that is exactly what does happen. >> yeah. what we used to do. i mean, nowadays you get about 40% of the typical constituency is postal votes . but what we did, postal votes. but what we did,

you know, 40% in certainly in west london. absolutely. gosh around my in my day, we used to have things called tellers and we'd actually stand outside the polling. can i have your polling number. can i have your polling number. >> yeah. that's right. >> yeah. that's right. >> yeah. that's right. >> yeah. and you'll see maybe 1 or 2 in a constituency nowadays because of the huge number of posts. so you don't those are the people who make up their mind before but on the day. and don't forget a couple 100,000 votes would have changed 60 seats last time is enormous. the number of people who literally and you put it very graphically, they walk into the polling station and they just decide there and then who they're going to vote for. and all the empirical evidence is that there are a lot of those people. so it's all to play for. the games are afoot, but there's a lot to play are afoot, but there's a lot to play for. >> do you think it could actually lead some people on the day going, well, i'm not. it's a laboun day going, well, i'm not. it's a labour. are predicted to get this huge majority. no why bother. it's not good for democracy . democracy. >> yeah it's interesting thing is one of the horrible truisms of british politics is it's very often the party that loses, you know, rather than the other party wins. yeah. and that's, that's happened so, so often. so yeah, you know, labour hasn't entirely sealed the deal. but stuff we did today . but

stuff we did today. but unfortunately i keep hearing it as the labour party policy on gb news. in fact it's gb energy and ihave news. in fact it's gb energy and i have to keep remembering that i have to keep remembering that i mean this gb energy idea is really good and hopefully if they can actually resolve the issue of water, water purity, things like that that matter to people rather than, you know, creating socialism in one country overnight. >> this is keir starmer's big speech this week. isn't it up in scotland. what do you i mean as a scottish person. what do you make of standing there with what anas sarwar. and the one of the brothers, the three of them were standing there and they were launching this big energy , drive launching this big energy, drive that the scots are saying will actually pull jobs away. and they're saying, oh, it's going to be 800 million. i think, investment in all of this. but ultimately it will be the tax payer that will be that will be paying payer that will be that will be paying for it. no one else labour don't have this money. the government coffers don't have the money. so it will be raised fiscally by the taxpayer. and i mean claire coutinho, the energy minister, said it's a really, really bad idea . well, really, really bad idea. well, of course she would. she would

absolutely. but, you know, actually look deeply into it and it's not that great. and because it's not that great. and because it was still it was still i mean, without going into the nitty gritty of what he actually announced and do you think it was actually a good a good look, stephen, to fly there on, on a jet, a private jet to announce a green policy. >> well, i think if you're going to get into the, you know, the airborne warfare, i mean, i think probably rishi sunak wins every time. i mean, at least. but look, the interesting thing about! but look, the interesting thing about i mean, claire makes a powerful point. but the reality is, would you not rather see that the money that presently goes to shareholders in privatised utility companies going to the treasury to be spending on the nhs and law and order, it's a that won't happen, steve. i'm sorry. it will, it will. because once you stop paying will. because once you stop paying the shareholder look at thames water. why are we spending millions , billions on spending millions, billions on giving money to german and australian shareholders , which australian shareholders, which we should be? >> spanish energy firms, spanish energy firms as well? i do not think that our utilities should be privately owned. i think all the carpetbaggers back in the 19805 the carpetbaggers back in the 1980s really have something to answer for , i think all of these

answer for, i think all of these things should be renationalised because it will serve the people of britain better. >> yeah, but that's the money. so it's not it's not money. it's not money that's having to be found. it's money that is simply redirect it away from the pockets of australian hedge fund companies and into the pockets of the people of this country. >> every time i talk about nationalising industry, i keep thinking about the post office that went well, didn't it, claire muldoon and stephen pound, thank you very much . pound, thank you very much. thank you very much, dawn. thank you for all the best analysis and opinion on that story and much more. please go to our website, gbnews.com. now the iconic iwm duxford summer air show returns to the skies today . show returns to the skies today. this year the event is d—day 80 which commemorates obviously the 80th anniversary of the famous normandy landings. 80th anniversary of the famous normandy landings . joining me normandy landings. joining me now is gb news reporter will hollis live from duxford. will, thank you very much for joining us. it sounds like an absolutely wonderful event. what's going on there today ? there today? >> yes. well, some 38,000 people are descending on the imperial

lancaster bomber. only two of those that fly in the world. one of them that flies as part of the battle of britain memorial flight , isn't here because the flight, isn't here because the battle of britain memorial flight is grounded since the tragic death of squadron leader mark long, whose spitfire crashed last weekend. now the mod says that while they are investigating , they have to put investigating, they have to put safety first. and while they can't come to a means that they won't be at the commemorations in portsmouth on the 5th of june, as well as in france on the sixth. so while it is sad and they say it is regretful that they can't be there, they're putting the pilots safety from the battle of britain memorial flight first. now, what has happened a few moments ago, though , was there moments ago, though, was there was a tribute over the tannoy in honour of squadron leader mark long, and in a few moments they are going to be flying spitfires. in the in the background, in memory of mark long, who tragically died in an accident last week . accident last week. >> well, yeah. thank you. obviously you're at an airshow.

>> this is gb news. and we are britain's election channel. this vote may seem to be about the politicians in the media, but

it's actually about you. >> and we won't ever forget that. join us up and down the country as we follow every moment together . moment together. >> now more than ever, it's important to hear all sides as you make your decision ahead of polling day. >> we're here for you. >> we're here for you. >> this is gb news. the people's channel >> this is gb news. the people's channel, britain's election . channel. >> welcome back to gb news saturday with me dawn neesom on your tv, online and on digital radio. now donald trump, front pages of all your newspapers today. pages of all your newspapers today . was found guilty this today. was found guilty this week of falsifying records to cover up a sex scandal in a historic turnaround from commander in to chief convicted criminal, no former or serving us president has ever been convicted of a crime before . for convicted of a crime before. for trump, who pleaded not guilty and denied all 34 counts against him, rejected the verdict and said the people would ultimately decide in november's election.

this was a speech at trump tower, he said. there was no hush money. it was a normal nondisclosure agreement. properly categorised as a legal expense. let's have a listen, shall we? >> i'm doing something for this country and i'm doing something for our constitution. it's very important , far beyond me. and important, far beyond me. and this can't be allowed to happen to other presidents. it should never be allowed to happen in the future. but this is far beyond me. this is bigger than trump. this is bigger than me. this is bigger than my presidency. he >> right. okay. if you say so , >> right. okay. if you say so, he has a way with words, doesn't he? i think that's what you can. the best thing you can say about donald trump at the moment. right. joining me now is the professor in international politics at the university of birmingham, david dunn. david, thank you very much for joining me this afternoon . it's a pretty me this afternoon. it's a pretty chaotic week, isn't it, in american politics. i mean, what do you make of, first of all, the conviction of donald trump and the way he's responded to it

? >> well, the 7 >> well, the conviction, i followed the trial very closely over five weeks. and the case that the prosecution made was fairly compelling, the evidence, the witnesses , the the witnesses, the documentation, i was still surprised by the, the verdict because it only took one of those 12 jurors to object to actually have a hung jury, and therefore, it would require a mistrial. but what's interesting, after 12 hours of deliberation , those, doubters deliberation, those, doubters were convinced by the evidence that that he was guilty. so i think the due process was in operation and the evidence was compelling . and trump had the compelling. and trump had the opportunity to put his own case. he refused to take the stand for a variety of reasons. so his reaction is the more troubling aspect of this, because he's unlike richard nixon in the 19705, who was guilty of crimes, who resigned and accepted that the logic of the of the verdict, what we have is trump trying to

actually undermine faith in american legal system, right? and not just trump , because of and not just trump, because of the loyalty, the frailty of the republican party . you have one republican party. you have one of the main parties of america, the traditional party of law and order, saying, that this was ngged order, saying, that this was rigged because they don't like the result. right? and that fundamentally undermines confidence and faith in the american legal system. and if they have no faith in the legal system , then that leaves you in system, then that leaves you in a really problematic situation . a really problematic situation. so what we have is donald trump, who undermined faith in the intelligence system when he was president by saying he believed russia rather than the cia. you have trump undermining faith in the electoral system because he lost and he wouldn't accept the verdict. and now you have trump convicted of crimes that were actually pretty bang to rights. and he's saying he has no faith in the legal system. but more than that , accusing it of being than that, accusing it of being ngged than that, accusing it of being rigged and a fascist state and the supine republican leadership

and congress following behind him. and that's a deep problem going forward, because what you have is a deeply polarised country being more polarised and actually being called to arms effectively . this is a political effectively. this is a political tinderbox. as we head towards november and trump delegitimizing the legal system and saying they're out to get you, it poses potential problems. as we headed over the next five months, david, just very quickly, we are running out of time. >> unfortunately, it's a fascinating subject. this doesn't actually appear to be affecting trump's popularity with many american voters . with many american voters. >> well, the number of american voters who are , supportive of voters who are, supportive of him, whatever happens. and there are also a lot of people who actually deeply dislike joe biden because they think he's too old and ferm or whatever, or unpopular because of their perception of the economy. right? so in a binary race, it's a question of which of you, god is the worst of two evils. in many respects, over 78% of people don't like either of these candidates. but what you

have is, is a situation here where someone is undermining the entire process and that for many people, puts him in a different category. >> it was interesting times indeed. david dunn, a professor of international politics at university of birmingham, thank you very much for joining us this afternoon. david very interesting times. now i'm dawn neesom gb news and there's lots more to come, on today's show. but first, let's get those news headunes but first, let's get those news headlines with sophia wenzler. >> joe dolan, thank you. from the gb newsroom at 130. your headlines, prime minister rishi sunak says he hopes hamas will accept a new deal outlined by the us to end the conflict in gaza. the us to end the conflict in gaza . a six week ceasefire has gaza. a six week ceasefire has been proposed for hostages to be freed in exchange for the release of palestinian prisoners . it would also require israeli troops to withdraw from populated areas of gaza. hamas described the three phase roadmap as positive, but a

and a female editor. but our lads mags outdated ? or is it lads mags outdated? or is it just a bit of harmless fun? all of and much more to i'm dawn neesom and this

welcome back to gb news saturday with me. dawn neesom on your telly. online and on digital radio. now, let's give men a voice. those are the words of danny levi, new editor of the recently launched loaded magazine, serving up a decidedly non pc diet of sex, drink, football and even less serious matters. it really defined the 19905. you see one of the covers on your screen now that was to do with football. you can tell from the scarves, 30 years to the week it's come back from the dead with a new look and a female editor, now i'm thrilled to be able to say we've got one

of the original stars of loaded magazine, producer and presenter daniel mason. daniel, thank you very much for joining daniel mason. daniel, thank you very much forjoining me. thank you , so i just think we've been you, so i just think we've been talking about politics for so long now. i thought we could do with a bit of something, a bit of light relief, if that's the correct phrase for loaded magazine . a little break from magazine. a little break from politics. yes, exactly. so it's back. yeah. a digital version, not the print version. how do you feel about it, i'm really excited for it because i feel the last few years that, women have really been taken advantage of , i have really been taken advantage of, i mean, when i've heard about magazines now , now, about magazines now, now, i won't name any, but a lot of them are online. i've been told that the girls are actually paying that the girls are actually paying the magazines to appear on the front cover, which i've never heard anything like that in my life before, so it's nice to have that culture back again. the loaded magazine, which is not a seedy magazine for me. it's a nice men's magazine, us women , we have our own magazines

women, we have our own magazines that we look at and sometimes, you know , you might have a man you know, you might have a man in there with his top off that we can look at and ask for us women. we like the dream boys and things like that. but loaded magazine, it's not just based on looking at a woman body. they do have the cultural side of it where they can look at men's health so they can have help with that. they've got help with relationship women advice , so relationship women advice, so it's not just about looking at a girl with her boobs out. >> i don't even know if the women do get their boobs out and loaded. >> i don't think they do. i don't think not not no, not full boobs out. no, no sexy lingerie, i think. sexy lingerie. yeah. and you know, if a woman wants to do that. i've heard liz hurley's taking centre stage for the first magazine, to me, she's a classy a—list woman, and if you remember back in the day, which you will, don't you remember when we used to have the hollyoaks girls on the eastenders girls. >> and these are like , bafta >> and these are like, bafta award winning actresses. so for me, it's not putting a seedy edge on it. i think, you know,

these women are from great careers, and it's bringing back that money side of things for the girls again , because as the girls again, because as i said, there's girls getting real taken advantage of. well, when you've got things like, i don't know , our, sort of like, you know, our, sort of like, you know, our, sort of like, you know, some of the things girls are putting on instagram and then you've got programs like love island. yeah, surely , lads. love island. yeah, surely, lads. mags. i mean, just a bit of fun. there's a lot more control, i think, of this loaded magazine coming back , and that's what i coming back, and that's what i like about it. it's a community andifs like about it. it's a community and it's bringing back the 905 for us all that we enjoyed. i mean, i would even buy the lads mags too, because just to be nosy and i like looking at i'm not a lesbian or anything, nothing against that. but i like looking at girls, you know, and reading what girls have got advice they've got to give men, i enjoy that. so, for me, i think it's a win win situation. back in the day when you were modelling daniel, did you get a lot of flak from feminists, for want of a better word, for what you did for a living? no, i

didn't, i think that's all come aboutin didn't, i think that's all come about in this generation, because back then , page three, because back then, page three, you know, i used to do it for the sun page three. it used to be like, not i'm not. everybody's got their own opinion, which is fine by me, but it you've had women that have come from it with great backgrounds. you've got melinda messenger , you've got pamela messenger, you've got pamela anderson , all these women have anderson, all these women have gone on to do great, sophisticated guide to careers. so to put them in a bracket like that , it's not really so to put them in a bracket like that, it's not really fair because these women still are intelligent women . they've still intelligent women. they've still got good careers. it just all depends on the women doing it. if you had a daughter, you'd have no problem with her working for loaded magazine. no, i wouldn't actually. if she came to me when she was 18 and she said, mum, can you help me with, i'd like to do a shoot for loaded magazine. i'd be behind it. i mean, i've got people that , i'm related to that are in, soaps , and they've done front

welcome back to gb news. saturday with me. dawn neesom on your telly. online and on digital radio. hope you're having a wonderful weekend up

there. we're serving a sizzling hot saturday lunch for you here. now, there's been a bit of a brotherly tussle going on in the royal household. king charles has given his controversial brother controversial. yeah, one word to describe it , brother word to describe it, brother prince andrew. an ultimatum. he's threatening to cut ties if he doesn't move out of his 30 room royal lodge in windsor. well, joining me now is royal commentator and broadcaster rafe heydel—mankoo rafe. thank you very much for joining heydel—mankoo rafe. thank you very much forjoining me on a very much forjoining me on a very special day, because rafe, i'm raising a toast because it is your birthday today. so happy birthday . is your birthday today. so happy birthday. thank you so much. i'm going to sing, so don't hate you that much. i don't hate anyone that much. i don't hate anyone that much. i don't hate anyone that much to sing, but happy birthday. and that's very kind indeed. coming in on your big day now. front page of the sun today the royal squatter king tells andy to quit lodge . yes. tells andy to quit lodge. yes. >> well, you know this unfortunate saga is being dubbed the siege of the royal lodge. >> and it's, you know, just another reminder that harry and william aren't the only royal brothers having a slightly strained relationship , i mean, strained relationship, i mean,

the king loves his brother very much. the duke of york . but much. the duke of york. but certainly they've had some awkward encounters in recent years , as the king's had to deal years, as the king's had to deal with the fallout from his brother's relationship with the criminal jeffrey epstein. now, prince andrew lost almost all his royal titles, positions and offices. >> but he retained royal lodge, which is a vast mansion, 30 rooms, seven bedrooms, 90 acre estate, previously the home of queen elizabeth the queen mother and unfortunately , now that he's and unfortunately, now that he's no longer a working royal, the security is being funded by the king personally to the tune of £3 million. on top of which, there's also a living allowance that prince andrew receives from his majesty. and the king, of course, is very keen to keep costs low and to make the monarchy value for money. and so he thinks it's much more advisable for the duke of york, who lives there with his ex—wife sarah, duchess of york, to move to frogmore cottage, which of course is now vacant following the departure of harry and meghan, they made some important

refurbishments of the place, so it's ready to move into and most importantly, that's actually within the windsor estate. so there's no security bill attached to it because they already get the royal security from that. there's also a growing belief that perhaps the prince and princess of wales will be better off living in royal lodge, rather than their four bedroom adelaide cottage, given the size of their family. so there are great reasons there really, why the king wants prince andrew to move out , prince andrew to move out, because, i mean, this has been billed as a sort of like a battle between the brothers. >> but i always got the impression that charles was quite keen to have andrew back in the fold. i mean, you know, heianed in the fold. i mean, you know, he invited him to do the sandringham christmas walk to the church thing , which didn't the church thing, which didn't necessarily go down well with a lot of other members of the royal family, not to mention the public. >> the king has been very, you know, very keen to make sure that his brother knows that he is welcome in the family, at least maybe not in a public setting, but you know, he has taken part, as you said, in the king constantine's funeral . he king constantine's funeral. he led the he led the party there. but this comes down more to

actually expecting prince andrew to accept reality and face the facts that he's no longer a working royal. he he has a much more diminished role justifying living in such a huge property when the bill is being footed by his brother does seem to be something which needs to be addressed now, legally , prince addressed now, legally, prince andrew has a lot on his side. he purchased a 75 year lease on the property. he's not there at the king's pleasure as a grace and favour apartment. he paid £1 million for it. he invested £7.5 million for it. he invested £7.5 million repairing and refurbishing the property, and he's got another 50 years left on his lease. he's been living there for 20 years, so you can see where from his position there is some justifiable argument and it's legally a very strong position. however, it costs £400,000 a year to run . costs £400,000 a year to run. and the king, of course, controls the purse strings. so if his majesty decides not to give that to money prince andrew, then it's not clear where he will find the money. >> what is the end game here? because if king charles does decide to get tough with his brother and say, look, this is common sense, you need to move

to the smaller property. and andrew still refuses. what's the end game there? >> well, i think that's it's game over. essentially, i mean, i think you can only dig your heels in for so long. but, you know, prince andrew only has a very modest naval pension. he didn't get any great windfall from the estate of his mother. you know, when the sovereign dies , the estate goes almost dies, the estate goes almost entirely intact to the heirs and successors . so it's pretty much successors. so it's pretty much one of those games of chicken to see who's going to blink first. but i think ultimately the king will probably prevail. >> and talking of the king, he's been the king and the queen have been the king and the queen have been at the epsom oaks and watching the racing. so it's good to see him out and about. >> yes. and of course we've got great news coming up. of course we have the king's birthday later this month, where his majesty will be attending in the carriage , not on horseback, but carriage, not on horseback, but that's going to be wonderful to see. and rumours now also that there may be a chance sighting of the princess of wales as well, who, if she feels up to it, may make an appearance from the usual balcony from which she watches that would be which, you know, previously she's been a participant as colonel in chief

of the irish guards. we saw her in a wonderful green dress last time, but she may make an appearance at a window this time. >> wonderful to see rafe heydel—mankoo, thank you very much and wishing you a very happy much and wishing you a very happy birthday. i hope you're doing something much more fun than sitting here chatting to me. thank you so much. >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> you're welcome for that. right? okay. now we move on. snp leaderjohn right? okay. now we move on. snp leader john swinney has right? okay. now we move on. snp leaderjohn swinney has urged leader john swinney has urged people to take part in a scottish national service by using the general election to vote the tory mps out . see what vote the tory mps out. see what he did there. the scottish first minister has taken his election campaign to the north—east of scotland, insisting his party can remove the remaining rump of tory mps. both there and in other parts of the country. joining me now is gb news scotland reporter tony maguire, to explain what's going on in scotland at the moment. tony, thank you very much for joining us. okay. so what's john swinney saying then ? saying then? >> good afternoon diane. so today was really, i guess a bit of a weekend campaign stop where the first minister came along to a cafe here on the north east

coast just south of aberdeen, right on the coast of the north sea, certainly. and you know, he was indeed campaigning, well, he wasn't talking to children and listening to the sound of the ocean through some sea shells. he was definitely campaigning about the idea of booting every tory out of scotland. now to put you in the picture here, the conservatives only have around six seats in scotland after the last election, and labour, even though they go into this election with just two seats in scotland, you know, they are already , polls are suggesting already, polls are suggesting going to walk away with 24 to 28 seats. so i wanted to ask the first minister why he thought that, you know, he he would go into this election almost fighting a battle on two fronts, you know, and i got a chance to speak to him earlier on today about what he thought his chances were as we enter this election , what's important is election, what's important is that the snp goes in this

election to win it. >> and that's what we're about. we're going into this election to win it. and the north—east of scotland, we've got a really good opportunity to contribute towards removing the conservative government by making sure that snp mps, sure that the snp candidates who are the challengers in each of the conservative held seats in the nonh conservative held seats in the north east, are able to win those seats. so i would my message, in short, to voters in the north east of scotland is to vote snp to remove the conservatives who have done so much damage to the communities and the people of scotland . and the people of scotland. >> so scotland is very a really interesting part of the country dunng interesting part of the country during this election . not only during this election. not only are there no tory and labour marginal seats, all the marginal seats are between the snp and one of the other two. but, you know, going into this campaign , know, going into this campaign, labour have just gone seemingly from strength to strength . and from strength to strength. and interesting little nugget of information. i found out yesterday was that the snp had only spent around £800 on party

funding , for, you know, putting funding, for, you know, putting out the pr for their campaign, whereas labour spent 20,000. now whereas labour spent 20,000. now where it's only a weak one, but certainly it very much feels like the snp have a little catching up to do, tony mcguire . catching up to do, tony mcguire. gb news scotland reporter there. thank you very much for that update on the scottish side of what's going on in politics. i'm dawn neesom this is gb news saturday and there's lots more coming up on today's show. but most importantly, should we find out what the weather is doing? here's marko with your update. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> hello! here's your latest weather update from the met office for gb news. over the next 24 hours or so, we hold to on generally fine weather across the uk. further warm sunshine to come , although we will start to come, although we will start to see some rain into the far north—west through sunday. high pressure is generally in control at the moment, sitting out towards the west of the uk,

still feeding in a bit of a cool northerly breeze in places, but with the sunshine it's certainly been quite a warm afternoon and as we head into the evening, much of the cloud across england and wales will tend to melt away. so we'll see a lot of dry and fairly clear weather across much of the uk as we head into the overnight period. a few mist and fog patches forming certainly across england and wales into the early hours. but nofice wales into the early hours. but notice by the end of the night also some outbreaks of rain just approaching the far north—west of the uk , townsville city of the uk, townsville city temperatures holding up quite well, but in the rural spots could even see a touch of frost by sunday morning. temperatures here into low single figures. so we start sunday. then on a pretty clear note across much of england and wales, lots of sunshine. just 1 or 2 mist patches still lingering from the overnight period. notice though, some low cloud across the far southeast, but that will gradually burn away as we go through the morning. lots of sunshine across the north of england pretty much wall to wall sunshine to start the day here. but notice out towards the north—west there is that rain to contend with. certainly across the west of scotland, just edging into the far west of northern ireland too. so eastern parts of scotland shouldn't fare too badly to start the day on sunday, as we go through the rest of the day on sunday, those

outbreaks of rain in the far north—west will gradually start to push in a little bit further across parts of northern and western scotland into parts of northern ireland too. so a fairly damp day unfolding here. but elsewhere across the uk it's generally set fair high pressure, as i say, generally in control. so lots of sunshine around and then places pretty much unbroken sunshine going into the afternoon . and with into the afternoon. and with that sunshine and fairly gentle winds feeling pretty warm, slightly down towards the south and southeast, up to 23 or 24 celsius. those outbreaks of rain in the far north—west will gradually push their way south eastwards into other parts of scotland and northern ireland through the evening on sunday, whereas towards the south and southeast it's staying fine. notice, though, as we head into the coming week, things will start to turn cooler and more unsettled, particularly across the north of the uk, with some rain at times that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, sponsors of weather on gb news, who's. >> thank you very much, marco. especially if you're using the phrase unbroken sunshine, lots more coming up on today's show.

>> dawn thank you. good afternoon. it's 2:01. i'm sophia wenzler in the gb newsroom . the wenzler in the gb newsroom. the battle lines are being drawn in the fight for votes with both the fight for votes with both the conservatives and labour unveiling their campaign. buses today featuring the slogan clear plan, bold action and secure future. the prime minister told a crowd his party can be trusted to take decisive action. he's pledging to give millions of pounds of towns across the country, adding another 30 to the 70 previously announced. >> it's a 100 towns across our country. they're going to receive £20 million each and crucially , it will be local. crucially, it will be local. people in all those areas are in charge of how to spend that money, to make sure it's spent and invested on their priorities. an example of us levelling up everywhere, backing local people and their priorities and giving them the long term funding assurance to do so. the methodology that selects these towns is something that's been used multiple times before. it's all public. it's based on areas levelling up

needs, looking at economic opportunity, skills, health and life expectancy . so it's an life expectancy. so it's an objective set of criteria, all published online. but i'm not going to make any apology for supporting towns and launching his battle bus. >> sir keir starmer described the tories levelling up pledge as a phoney gimmick. the tories levelling up pledge as a phoney gimmick . the labour as a phoney gimmick. the labour leader says his party's data reveals which areas will be hit if the conservatives get back into government , with if the conservatives get back into government, with figures showing people in the north—east of england will be £5,400 worse off and families in the south—west will be £4,300 poorer. once change the powers with you, because the vote is with you, because the vote is with you, because the vote is with you, you have to vote for change. >> we have changed this. labour party and put it back in the service of working people . what service of working people. what we're asking now, humbly asking is the opportunity to change our country and put it back in the service of working people, and that requires both setting out our ambition to change the country, but also the first

steps, the down payment. if you like, stabilising the economy and making sure we can deal with our waiting list, getting back people back into work, setting up great british energy to keep bills down. they are the first steps to the change this country desperately needs . desperately needs. >> meanwhile, reform uk's honorary chairman nigel farage has been talking in sutton . has been talking in sutton. >> what reform have to do is to say to people who agree with our policies, come out and vote for us. >> you'll find. well, i love reform, but i'm still going to vote labour because my granddad did. i love reform, but i want to vote conservative because i want to stop labour getting in. and they're the counter—arguments that you get with insurgent political parties. but this is different this time in and that means you can actually vote for reform because you believe in it, knowing that actually it won't directly affect the result , but directly affect the result, but it will affect who the opposition to labour are going to be over the next five years. and that's the goal for the next five weeks. >> and first ministerjohn >> and first minister john swinney had a message for voters

in scotland. >> what's important is that the snp goes in this election to win it, and that's what we're about. we're going into this election to win it and the north—east of scotland, we've got a really good opportunity to contribute towards removing the conservative government by making sure that snp mp ensure that the snp candidates, who are the challengers in each of the conservative held seats in the nonh conservative held seats in the north east, are able to win those seats. so i would my message, in short, to voters in the north—east of scotland is to vote snp to remove the conservatives who have done so much damage to the communities and the people of scotland. >> and in other news, the prime minister, rishi sunak, says he hopes hamas will accept a new deal outlined by the us president to end the conflict in gaza. the us brokered proposal would begin with a six week ceasefire. hostages would be freed in exchange for the release of palestinian prisoners and israeli troops would have to withdraw from populated areas of the strip . hamas described the the strip. hamas described the three phase roadmap as positive ,

three phase roadmap as positive, but a spokesperson for the israeli prime minister says the war will not end until all its goals are achieved. the uk's ambassador to mexico has reportedly been sacked after he pointed a gun at an embassy staff member. a video posted on social media appears to show john benjamin aiming a rifle at another man while in a vehicle. it was also captioned in context of daily killings in mexico by drug dealers. he dares to joke. the foreign office says it's aware of the incident and has taken appropriate action, and king charles has personally given a card to a d—day veteran who's celebrating his 100th birthday. jim miller was invited to buckingham palace , where he to buckingham palace, where he spoke to the king about his experiences during the second world war. mr miller landed on the beaches of normandy in june 1944 and took part in the allied military operation. he said he was totally surprised and delighted to be invited to the

palace. and for the latest story, sign up to gb news alerts by scanning the qr code on your screen or go to gb news. com slash alerts. now it's back to gb news. saturday >> thank you very much, sophia. all right. let's get straight into today's story, shall we, a tory wipe—out could be on the honzon tory wipe—out could be on the horizon with a devastating new poll showing the conservatives could be reduced to just 72 seats, but the tactical voting considered, that could drop to 66 seats. labour is also predicted to win by a huge landslide, with a possible 302 seat majority. the polling suggests the conservatives would return only around seven more mp5 than the liberal democrats . mps than the liberal democrats. ouch. here are the 18 conservative cabinet ministers who would lose their seats. oliver dowden, the deputy pm james cleverly, the home secretary. grant shapps, defence penny morton , even kemi

penny morton, even kemi badenoch, claire coutinho, mel stride, gillian keegan, education david harper, david davis, victoria prentice, esther mcvey, andrew mitchell , johnny mcvey, andrew mitchell, johnny mercer they could all go to laboun mercer they could all go to labour. meanwhile alex chalk and michael tomlinson could both lose to the lib dems, while alister jack would lose to the snp and simon hart to play kumri . another big name would be sir jacob rees—mogg . jacob rees—mogg. >> only poll that matters is the one on july 4th, the general election and what i'm doing is going across our country to every corner of it, talking to as many people as possible about the choice at this election. and that choice is increasingly clear. we're just over a week into this, and what is clear is that we're the only ones who have a plan that is working when it comes to the economy, we're the only ones putting bold ideas on the table like a modern form

of national service. the triple lock plus for pensioners, 100,000 new apprenticeships because that's how we'll deliver a secure future to everyone in our country . our country. >> that was rishi sunak there, putting a very brave face, some would say, on that pretty devastating poll , for the tories devastating poll, for the tories that was out today. now the same poll has the reform party returning no seats , but their returning no seats, but their honorary president has high hopesin honorary president has high hopes in the traditional red wall. >> realisation is beginning to sort of kick in that if you vote conservative in the red wall, you're going to get labour because it's in seats like this. it's reform. very clearly. in second place, you can see that the bookmakers if you want to, and so i'd say to those people who those that had lent their votes, the conservatives last time, you know, don't go back to labour because actually we're the ones standing up for what you really put your faith in. back in 2019. >> well, it's amazing times in

politics. i mean, what can you say? joining me now is gb news political correspondent, katherine forster, who is on, i think, the prime minister's battle bus. even catherine, thank you for joining battle bus. even catherine, thank you forjoining us. what's thank you for joining us. what's happening ? oh, yes. happening? oh, yes. >> good afternoon. and welcome to the newly unveiled conservative battle bus that the pm was showing off in redcar just a little bit earlier, and angela rayner was talking the other day about the labour one having a fridge. this has got not only a fridge but also, i am told, an oven. so there you go . told, an oven. so there you go. now of course, a lot of talk this morning about this poll, this morning about this poll, this huge mrp poll . and it was this huge mrp poll. and it was taken between the monday before the election and the monday after 10,000 people. now, of the election and the monday after 10 course, if it came to pass, it would be horrendous for the conservatives they're potentially left with only 70 seats. now, the prime minister, of course, and his team focused on the general election, the only vote that ultimate matters

and i think worth talking a bit about reform, hearing about nigel farage talking there , nigel farage talking there, because of course the conservatives argument is that a vote for reform is effectively a vote for reform is effectively a vote for reform is effectively a vote for labour, because all it's going to do is increase the labour majority. and looking at this mrp poll, although the reform party, it says going to get about 12% of the vote, it's for casting currently that they will not get a single seat in the house of commons. now of course, with the first past the post system that we have, it favours the big parties. labour and conservatives. that's where they want to stick with it. this is something that the lib dems have been campaigning about for a very, very long time . you're a very, very long time. you're going to hear a lot about this for the reform party. but of course , this is where we are at course, this is where we are at the moment. now, the prime minister today, along with the bus talking about this new funding for towns, 30 towns,

getting an extra 20 million each, places from preston to halifax to perth in scotland to bognor regis, and talking again about levelling up. remember that. so we will see. i have to say, the pm and his team seem really, really upbeat that less than five weeks to go it would take an incredible turn of events to overcome labour's poll lead, but worth bearing in mind. of course . back in 2017, theresa of course. back in 2017, theresa may called a general election convinced she was going to increase her majority. then along came the dementia tax in the end, they lost their majority completely. so things can change. the conservatives hoping that they do . hoping that they do. >> katherine forster thank you very much and well done for actually not feeling sick, travelling on a bus, going backwards . i thought that would backwards. i thought that would have done me. thank you very much and good luck with the rest of that. travelling on that bus with an oven. who knew ? in any with an oven. who knew? in any case. joining me now is gb news

presenter benjamin butterworth and broadcaster and journalist claire muldoon to discuss pretty much a fairly devastating poll there. benjamin isn't it? i mean, if you were rishi sunak waking up this morning apart from unveiling your your bus with an oven in it, i mean , this with an oven in it, i mean, this is not good news, is it? >> yeah. no, i mean, it's a shocking poll. >> you know, we've never seen a result like this. >> and i think the company that did it predicted a result at this stage of the previous general election that turned out to be very close to the real one. >> one. >> so that gives you some insight to the quality of the research. and for people that don't know, the mrp polls are far more thorough, far more accurate to each constituency. so it's not simply projecting it across the country, which is often very inaccurate, i think this is what happens bluntly when you have or try to build a political coalition that stretches from diane abbott to natalie elphicke , the former natalie elphicke, the former dover mp, you know, you get a constituency in the country that looks like that. i actually suspect that the labour party, you know, is never going to complain about 490 seats, but it

would cause more problems than it's worth. >> i think, in reality. so i think they won't be devastated if they ended up with 100 fewer seats than this in some ways. >> but it also shows you, and i think i'm going to give credit, it was tom harwood the gb news deputy political editor, who made this point, and i thought he was spot on that this election isn't about policies, it's about punishment . it's about punishment. >> people are furious. >> people are furious. >> very much so at the way the country has been run and at the lack of respect. the people running the country have shown to the offices they hold. and i think they're going to give a kicking to the tories whatever happens or whatever is announced in the next couple of weeks. >> i mean, claire, you did mention this earlier, didn't you? you said there is so much angeh you? you said there is so much anger. this is not about what labour are offering. no, exactly. because people aren't mostly sure what labour are offering. a lot of the time. but this is about the anger at what the conservatives have done . or the conservatives have done. or they haven't. they have done. yes. and to come up with policy now, like what we were discussing last week , here discussing last week, here actually on your show, benjamin and i were about the national service is polarising everyone, and they're coming up now with strategic strategies that they should have been putting in

place to try and help the economy, help the electorate , economy, help the electorate, and lastly, help themselves because they've been doing nothing , absolutely nothing. and nothing, absolutely nothing. and it's worth noting, as well that i don't think there'll be a very sad civil servant for these next five weeks because they're on, what, full pay and not doing anything. there's a lot of people on full pay at the moment , not doing much, isn't there? well, those 18, 18 members of the cabinet there who are might be losing their seats and who they'll be angry at. they won't be angry at the electorate. they won't be angry at. they'll be angry at rishi for calling the election. i mean, you know, in theory, the conservatives have hit the ground running this week. they've made big announcements. we had whether you agree with them or not. they had the national service, we had the tax situation. we had our own even. was it? oh yeah. flytipping. yes we've had 14 years. what were you doing? so they are coming out with a lot of big stuff, but it's not shifting the dial is it. yeah. i mean the announcements are just pathetic. >> yeah. michael gove , a man

>> yeah. michael gove, a man that doesn't want to fight the election, announcing online that you'll get three points on your licence if you're fly tip. >> i mean, most of us can't afford anything to then fly tip in the first place. >> with the economy being the way it has been. but if you look deeper into these polling numbers, i think the, you know, this is beyond a disaster for the tories. but it's not one that's going to be end to end any time soon. you know, under 50, the green party is out polling the conservatives. i mean that is extraordinary. >> we've got a situation where under 40, just 8% of people will vote conservative. >> now , that is a scenario that >> now, that is a scenario that with the obvious changes to demographics , people die. demographics, people die. >> that means that this is not going to go anywhere soon. and you know, when i talk to people, i'm in my early 305. and when i talk to people my age a lot of them who have actually reasonably well—paid jobs from middle class backgrounds , you middle class backgrounds, you know, in this line of work, lots of them went to private schools . of them went to private schools. so they're kind of people that a generation ago would probably have been tory voters. they're from tory families, and they wouldn't go near them with a bargepole because their income

doesn't stretch to a decent quality of living. they can't get on the housing ladder. they can't afford to start a family when they want to. these are basics that people expect and they've disintegrated. and there is you know, as election has gone on, that group of people in society that are livid , they society that are livid, they can't get what their parents had has grown, and the danger is, you know, keir starmer has put the centre of his, politics. he's put changing housing, getting millions more houses built if he actually does that. and lots of those people get on the housing ladder, then, you know, the tories could see a result like this in five years, let alone today. >> and it is interesting. i mean , keir starmer, sir keir starmer has given an interview to the times today hasn't he, where he's sounding very, very much like well, both like like tony blair for a start, and some would say a little bit like david cameron. well he's kind of morphed into both, i think, and he's become more in terms of style, more presidential in style, more presidential in style than a uk politician. stroke, prime minister kathryn alluded to the fact that we have

got first past the post in this country, and i think people really need to get, you know, it's very difficult to understand the politic system here and the voting system because i, for one, cannot believe that if the snp get 44% of the votes, they actually get something ridiculous, like 22 or 30 seats in westminster. and yet if the reform party, as nigel farage said, if people vote for the in the red wall, vote for reform , that's actually a vote reform, that's actually a vote for labour. it's it, it's very, very difficult to try and navigate who you're actually going to vote for in a general election. do you vote locally or do you vote for the guy that you or the woman that you want to be prime minister? interesting. you mentioned nigel farage there because according to this very same poll, the reform party are on 12, which is more than the lib dems, which are only on 10. so even though they're probably not going to get any mp5, but they are gaining ground here,

aren't they. >> yeah. and i mean, i think that's really why the tories will do extremely badly rather than quite badly, because you've got a considerable that's about a third of the right wing vote that has split off from the conservatives and they want to give them a kicking just as much as traditional labour voters do. but i'd say this, you know, if they get 70 mp5, rishi sunak is projected to be one of those that keeps his seat. can you imagine walking back into the commons going, hi guys. you know, they're not going to be happy know, they're not going to be happy to see him when they've been destroyed under him. a lot of anger out there. >> benjamin butterworth, claire muldoon, thank you very much for your analysis on that and for all the analysis and opinion on that story , even nearly as good that story, even nearly as good as these two, much more a go to our website , gb news.com. now do our website, gb news.com. now do you want some good news? well here it is. it's officially summer. it'sjune here it is. it's officially summer. it's june pinch punch and all that. and we've got a brand new summer giveaway for you. £15,000 in cash to make summer a true spectacular one for you. a brand new iphone , for you. a brand new iphone, airpods and £500 to spend at the uk . attraction of your choice at

>> this is gb news. and we are britain's election channel. this vote may seem to be about the politicians in the media, but actually, it's about you. and we won't forget that. >> join us up and down the country as we follow every moment together. >> more than ever, it's important to hear all sides as

you make your decision ahead of polling day. >> we're here for you. >> we're here for you. >> this is gb news, the people's channel >> this is gb news, the people's channel, britain's election . channel. >> welcome back to gb news. thatcherite with me. dawn neesom on your telly, online and on digital radio. hope you're having a wonderful weekend out there now. donald trump, front page of your newspapers today. he was found guilty this week of falsifying records to cover up a sex scandal in a historic turnaround from commander in chief to convicted criminal, no. former or serving us president has ever been convicted of a crime before . trump, who pleaded crime before. trump, who pleaded not guilty and denied all 34 counts against him, rejected the verdict and said the people would ultimately decide in november's election . in a speech november's election. in a speech at trump tower, he said there was no hush money. it was a normal nondisclosure agreement, properly categorised as a legal expense. let's have a listen to that, shall we?

>> i'm doing something for this country and i'm doing something for our constitution. it's very important, far beyond me . and important, far beyond me. and this can't be allowed to happen to other presidents . it should to other presidents. it should never be allowed to happen in the future . but this is far the future. but this is far beyond me. this is bigger than trump. this is bigger than me. this is bigger than my presidency . presidency. >> well. joining me now is my favourite us political analyst, eric hamm. eric thank you very much for joining eric hamm. eric thank you very much forjoining us this much for joining us this afternoon. eric, i love talking to you because your politics makes ours look vaguely , vaguely makes ours look vaguely, vaguely sane, what do you make of the events unfolding this week? the verdict and trump's reaction? fairly astonishing . fairly astonishing. >> well, actually not. this was a historic situation that played out where we saw, for the first time ever, a either former or sitting us president found guilty of a felony. now donald trump will have that moniker that he has to wear into the upcoming debates as well as this

election. >> it's unclear what this means for donald trump, but what we know in the united states, if you want to become president, you want to become president, you have to be able to win the middle, those those middle of the road voters, those independents, those suburban soccer moms. this guilty verdict is likely to repel many of those voters. and i think it will make it that much more difficult for donald trump to be successful in november. and also, there are still three additional criminal indictments that donald trump has to contend with as well. yeah. >> can you give us a time frame on the other cases that he's got to answer, eric? i mean, it's when are they coming up? there's three more, i believe, is there? >> that's right. there are three. there are two federal cases, one state case against donald trump. right now, none of the cases are actually pending as to actually go to trial before the november election. the january 6th insurrection case that has actually stalled as the nation waits for the supreme court to rule on donald trump's immunity claim. his classified documents case and in

florida has been put on hold by the judge. many believe that the judge has made some really shocking decisions. she's already been rebuked twice by a large, by a higher court. and then, of course, there is the state case, involving election interference, which there we know the prosecuting attorney , know the prosecuting attorney, fani willis herself has had her own troubles , which is which is own troubles, which is which is the reason why that case has been stalled . in fact, now she been stalled. in fact, now she is actually before a board in the state where they're actually looking at possibly removing the case from her. >> eric, i mean, you mentioned that, you know, this case has been particularly sleazy with the hush money to, stormy daniels, etc. and how important is the soccer moms, as you put it, to vote donald trump or to the election in general ? the election in general? >> it's those soccer moms are are crucially important. we know that in there. there are at

least seven states that will determine the outcome of this election in states like michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania , arizona, nevada pennsylvania, arizona, nevada and others. these states not only have what we call those suburban soccer moms that actually make up the vote in these elections, and the suburbs right outside a large cities where you have women voters who will power this race. and because this race is expected to because this race is expected to be so close, every vote is going to count. and some instances there are some communities where, the vote will be determined by less than 10,000 votes. and so it's very crucial . votes. and so it's very crucial. and donald trump right now is having a very difficult time bringing those voters into the fold. now, what we have seen in many polls to date is donald trump continues to lead joe biden in the polling, trump continues to lead joe biden in the polling , which trump continues to lead joe biden in the polling, which is good news for donald trump. but also, what we also know is that

many people haven't really begun to tune in to this election. and so when voters begin to tune in, donald trump is going to have to explain and answer why and how 12 citizens actually overwhelmingly found him guilty of this crime. >> eric, we're running out of time. unfortunately but i mean, £50 million, $50 million in donations is, as you say, the polls don't seem to be affected. still popular. he could still be on next. president couldn't he? >> oh, absolutely. there's a very strong chance donald trump will be the next president. even though he's trailing in the money race, he's trailing in popularity . vie, donald trump popularity. vie, donald trump still is seen as a viable candidate . candidate. >> interesting times indeed. eric hamm, us political analyst thank you very much for joining. and i'm not going to ask you any questions about taylorswift. we save that till next time. thank you very much, eric. thank you and good luck . you very much, eric. thank you and good luck. right. you very much, eric. thank you and good luck . right. okay, you very much, eric. thank you and good luck. right. okay, i'm dawn neesom and this is gb news saturday, and there's lots more coming up on today's really packed show . but first, let's packed show. but first, let's get the news headlines with

far. we'll see you

soon. welcome back to gb news saturday with me. dawn neesom on your telly. online and on digital radio. now we have some showbiz to finish off with. yay! and i'm joined by the glorious, gorgeous stephanie takyi who also has amazing legs, by the way, we need. we need some sort of see through desk now, evidently edinburgh's homeless population is facing having to make way for. oh, yeah, taylor swift. taylor swift what on earth is happening is getting bad press. >> so taylor is coming to town with her new her eras tour. it's sold out. tickets have been like gold dust. dawn. 200,000 people will be seeing taylor over three dates. the problem is in edinburgh, they've got a housing emergency. and what they do with the homeless people , they put

the homeless people, they put them up in tourist accommodations for a week . so accommodations for a week. so what's happening? you're having all these influx of taylor swift fans that are going to be coming in. yeah. so where does that leave the homeless population . leave the homeless population. so what the council are now doing is they're moving them on to aberdeen, which is already got its own homeless problem, and also they're taking them as far as newcastle . so you can far as newcastle. so you can imagine charities like shelter have come out and said this is a total injustice. i know people are linking it to taylor swift, but it's a bigger problem here. i'm assuming taylor doesn't know anything about this personally. to be honest, if she did and if her team have seen the press that's been coming out, what taylor does is every city she goes to on tour, she always donates money to food banks, plays , causes that need help plays, causes that need help with like feeding people. so i can imagine that i'm hoping something good will come out of this because it's got us talking about it and taylor swift making £1 billion from this tour alone . £1 billion from this tour alone. so i can imagine she will be putting some money out there.

approaching the far north—west of the uk. townsville city temperatures holding up quite well but in the rural spots could even see a touch of frost by sunday morning. temperatures here into low single figures , so here into low single figures, so we start sunday, then on a pretty clear note across much of england and wales. lots of sunshine. just 1 or 2 mist patches still lingering from the overnight period. notice though, some low cloud across the far south—east, but that will gradually burn away as we go through the morning. lots of sunshine across the north of england. pretty much wall to wall sunshine to start the day here. but notice out towards the north—west there is that rain to contend with, certainly across the west of scotland, just edging into the far west of northern ireland too. so eastern parts of scotland shouldn't fare too badly to start the day on sunday as we go through the rest of the day on sunday, those outbreaks of rain in the far north—west will gradually start to push in a little bit further across parts of northern and western scotland into parts of northern ireland too. so a fairly damp day unfolding here, but elsewhere across the uk it's generally set fair high pressure, as i say, generally in control. so lots of sunshine around in places, pretty much unbroken sunshine going into the afternoon, and with that sunshine and fairly gentle winds feeling pretty warm slightly down towards the south and

southeast , down towards the south and southeast, up to 23 or 24 celsius. those outbreaks of rain in the far north—west will gradually push their way south eastwards into other parts of scotland and northern ireland through the evening. on sunday, whereas towards the south and southeast it's staying fine. nofice southeast it's staying fine. notice as we head into the coming week, things will start to turn cooler and more unsettled, particularly across the north of the uk, with some rain at times that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, sponsors of weather
